After Emperor Chu sat down, a deep voice sounded, and he said half-jokingly: "What are you arguing about, the good interest is gone!" ”

Naturally, no one mentioned this matter anymore, but everyone's hearts were like mirrors, the palace was full of Emperor Chu's eyeliner, even if His Majesty didn't know it now, he would always hear rumors. Emperor Chu's original remark that "the war has nothing to do with the people" made many people of the five countries praise, which shows the Chu Emperor's ambition to unify the five countries, but Wu Fan's side has a basket, if this matter is really true, wouldn't it be a big slap in the face of the Chu Emperor in front of tens of thousands of people in the five countries?

Jiang Cailing smiled secretly in her heart, Emperor Chu was originally a very suspicious person, and now Wu Fan is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, coupled with such a thing, it hindered the pace of Emperor Chu's unification of the five countries, even if Wu Fan acted quickly and ordered people to send a message to Biansai to rectify the new city and seal the mouths of the people, the root of the curse was also deeply buried.

"It seems that it's just a child's play, Your Majesty's concubines have specially arranged a dance this year, do you want to announce them now?" Empress Chu smiled leisurely and reconciled the atmosphere present.

"I'm just a joke, this summer poetry meeting was organized by the queen as the host, I just came to see the fun, as long as it really didn't exist!"

Everyone below laughed in agreement, but who could really be an emperor without existing?

The crowd took their seats. The men's seats are seated according to the rank of the prince and the marquis, and the women are determined according to the official rank of the emperor or her husband, with the prince and princess as the first table, followed by the civil and military officials and their families.

Jiang Cailing is the county lord, sitting not far from the emperor, and on the left hand side is Cui Nian, the daughter of the eldest princess, who looks like she is five or six years old, round and cute, and very likable; On the right-hand side is Wu Xiaoyao. After ignoring Wu Xiaoyao, Jiang Cailing began to play with Cui Nian, Cui Nian seemed to like her very much, and her chubby little fleshy hands always held her.

In the center of the Imperial Garden, there is a high platform built, and after a song and dance, the highlight of the day begins - poetry.

The queen smiled and said, "This palace is also playing a trick this year, let's beat the drum and pass the flowers for a while, the drum sound stops, who is in the hands of this peony flower, there is this person to decide what the topic of this year's competition is, okay?" ”

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, "The queen is clever, and the drumming and passing flowers not only adds to the tension of the game, but also is full of fun!" ”

"yes, yes, that's wonderful!"

Of course, if this flower falls into their hands, they can choose a topic that they are good at, even if they can't get poetry with limited talent, they can still be in the top three in high school, which is enough to be honored.

With the fierce drum beating, the peony flower passed in the hands of everyone, and when it reached the hands of the little county lord Cui Nian, the child didn't know what it was doing, holding the flower and smiling, and the cute appearance had to be filled with laughter.

"Knock knock—"

The drumming is getting more and more urgent, it is a sign that it is about to stop, Wu Xiaoyao is anxious, and reminds in a low voice, "Little county lord, pass the flowers to my sister!" ”

This sister, others may not have heard it, but Jiang Cailing heard it clearly, pretended to drink tea, covered the corners of her lips with tea, and said with a smile: "The little county lord is a royal clansman, what kind of green onion do you dare to call the little county lord a sister!" ”

With this sentence - which onion are you!

Wu Xiaoyao learned to be smart this time, her face was light and light, but her slender fingers stretched out to Jiang Cailing's leg and pinched it fiercely.

Jiang Cailing endured the pain and said in a low voice, "It hurts!" ”

Wu Xiaoyao was naturally more proud, but when the little county lord heard Jiang Cailing crying out in pain, he turned around and saw this scene, pouted, and immediately threw the peony flower on Wu Xiaoyao's head, "Bad guy, I saw that you made it bad, you beat people!" ”

Just then, the drumming stopped.

No one heard what Cui Nian said just now, and they didn't know that Wu Xiaoyao pinched her just now, but they all saw Cui Nian beat Wu Xiaoyao with flowers.

Wu Xiaoyao is a drama master, and immediately lowered her head innocently, as if she had been wronged in every way.

"Nian'er!" The queen shook her head and said, "How can Nian'er beat Miss Wu?" Apologize to Miss Wu. ”

Cui Nian obviously couldn't cope with such a scene, and he didn't know how to defend himself, so he looked at the eldest princess pitifully.

What kind of child Nian'er is, of course the mother knows, she will not beat people for no reason. Although the eldest princess was dissatisfied with the queen's attitude, as soon as she saw the squinting Chu Emperor, she endured the dissatisfaction in her heart.

sighed in my heart, filial piety, filial piety, why are you becoming more and more cowardly, this is not like you at all.

"Nian'er, come here." Xiaohe smiled and beckoned Cui Nian, her bottom line was Nian'er, Nian'er was not wrong, and there was no need to apologize to anyone.

Just when Nian'er wanted to run to her mother's arms, Jiang Cailing picked up Cui Nian, walked in front of Wu Xiaoyao, and said coldly, "Apologize!" ”

As soon as the two words came out, I could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the Dream Garden suddenly cooled down.

The eldest princess of filial piety looked at Jiang Cailing coldly, and was about to walk over there. She thought that this Yunyang was a good one just now, but she didn't expect that she and the queen and the others were all the way, and her daughter didn't need others to educate her.

Su Qingcheng sat at a table in front of the eldest princess of Xiaohe, and did not stop her, but hugged his chest and watched the show. He underestimated her before, and wanted to use her identity in exchange for Xie Cheng's support, but he didn't expect her to be very capable.

Su Qingcheng's narrow eyes narrowed, it was good for such a woman to be an ally, but if she became an enemy...... Su Qingcheng knew that his emotions were exposed, so he immediately closed his eyes, made a tired appearance, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

After all, everyone is a bystander, but Wu Xiaoyao is the one involved. I saw Wu Xiaoyao's beautiful eyes flashing with doubts, but she still hurriedly waved her hand, "The little county lord is still young, it must be an unintentional move, so you don't need to apologize to me." ”

Jiang Cailing snorted lightly, "The little county lord is not wrong, of course there is no need to apologize, I want you to apologize to the little county lord!" ”

"What!" Wu Xiaoyao thought she had misheard.

"The county lord asked you to apologize to the little county lord, do you understand?"

At this time, the eldest princess of filial piety took a dull step, then withdrew her feet and sat back steadily, Su Qingcheng raised the wine glass and put it to his lips to hide his smile.

Empress Chu intends to win over the Wu family, so naturally she will not let Wu Xiaoyao apologize to a childish son in public, trying to be a peacemaker. "This palace should be a misunderstanding when I see this, Nian'er is young......"

When the queen spoke, everyone naturally didn't dare to say much, Jiang Cailing also seemed to be persuaded, put Cui Nian back on the ground, but said softly in her ear when she seemed to help Cui Nian tidy up her neckline, "The little county lord is not afraid, thank you for standing up for me just now." ”

Cui Nian had been educated by the eldest princess with a great sense of justice, and when she heard Jiang Cailing say this, her chubby little fist clenched tighter, and she interrupted Queen Chu's words in a milky voice, "Nian'er is young, but she can see clearly, that person pinched Sister Yunyang just now, and Sister Yunyang was very painful, so Nian'er used flowers to beat the bad guys!" ”

Cui Nian's words were clear and logical, and the atmosphere in the Dream Garden condensed to the freezing point, and the eldest princess stood up at this time, walked in front of Cui Nian, bent down, and doted her nose, "You little clever, didn't my mother teach you that you can't fight violence with violence?" You see, it's all messed up with everyone's drumming and passing flowers, isn't it! ”

Although Cui Nian was small, he could also see that his mother was not angry, so he got into the arms of the eldest princess and laughed, and then picked up the words on the ground with his strong legs, and said to everyone, "The flower is in Nian'er's hands, and it is not lost!" ”

Above the court, in the back house, that person is not fighting to the death in their respective circles, calculating step by step, now Cui Nian can be said to be the purest and brightest existence in the entire Dream Garden, everyone looked at Cui Nian and couldn't help but show a loving smile.

Except, of course, the crown prince, Empress Chu and the Cui family.

Emperor Chu looked at the lively and beating Cui Nian, and said with a smile, "Since the flowers are in Nian'er's hands, let Nian'er come up with this year's topic!" ”

Cui Nian didn't know what it meant, and the eldest princess spoke, "What does Nian'er like the most?" ”

"Mother!"

The eldest princess shook her head.

Cui Nianxiao grinned again, "Sugar, Nian'er likes to eat sugar." ”

"Let's talk about sugar!"

When everyone heard this, they were all in an uproar. In previous years, the theme was flowers, plants, moon and water, and the emphasis was on transcendent poetry and fairy spirit, but who would have thought that this year would be such a topic as "sugar" to enter the WTO?

The eldest princess had returned to her original seat, and the singer was playing a little song on the stage, and the soft and slow sound of silk bamboo drifted through the Dream Garden.

The children of the nobles are all calculating in their hearts how to make a poem that amazes everyone, but Jiang Cailing is relaxed in her heart. Back then, although Emperor Zhaohong intended to let her dabble in every aspect, she was not very proficient in subjects other than poison. Writing poetry relies on talent, or the cultivation and edification of the day after tomorrow, Jiang Cailing has been a poor child since she was a child, and she has enough food and drink, where is she good at this kind of rich and noble people who play with spring and snow?

If someone asks her to go on stage for a while, she won't panic. Su Qingcheng prepared some poems in advance, all of them were of the upper middle level, and she memorized a few poems with different intentions, even if she really wanted to go up and offer ugliness, as long as she was not ashamed, anyway, her purpose today was not to win the name of this poet.

Glancing at the innocent and lovely Cui Nian next to him, Jiang Cailing's apricot eyes turned into a smile, and she picked a few grasses and made a grass grasshopper for the little thing, Cui Nian clapped her hands and happily took the grasshopper and played.

Jiang Cailing has a good sense of proportion, and she will not appear to be deliberately flattering, and in the eyes of others, most of them are pictures of Cui Nian taking the initiative to ask her to play.

The eldest princess of Xiaohe in the distance naturally noticed this scene, it was rare to see Xiao Nian so close to people, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but smile a little, and she turned her head sideways to Wang Qiuyun and said; "Bengong looks at Xiao Nian, this child likes Yunyang very much, and I have time to let her come to my house to play."

Wang Qiuyun looked at Xiaohe unexpectedly, and then saw the scene where Jiang Cailing and Cui Nian were playing well, her eyes were full of her mother's love, and she smiled slightly on her lips, "It is a blessing for us Yunyang to be able to make friends with the little county lord." ”

One after another on the stage, the young lady recited the poems, and after reciting, she went to the back of the stage to transcribe the poems on rice paper, and then the palace maids hung them on both sides of the guest seats in the Dream Garden for the final selection.

Just after Miss Childe almost came to the stage to present poems, the Xia Poetry Club also reached the final stage.

Cui Nian shouted to Jiang Cailing to make a little rabbit for her, Jiang Cailing smiled and halfway through the weaving, she heard Wu Xiaoyao, who had not spoken for a long time, speak softly, the volume was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear, "Chen Jun Xie's generation is a talented and beautiful woman, and the first female poet who enjoys the name of the Five Kingdoms is from the Xie family, presumably the lord of Yunyang County must also be a talented woman with wonderful writings!" ”
