Shen Ning stood in the crowd and looked at the imperial aunt in her previous life. She is the eldest sister of Emperor Changtai, she is almost seventy years old, but she is not an old dragon clock, but she is very energetic, and the phoenix hairpin bead ring can not hide her elegance, which is a kind of precipitation of time such as a mellow wine, no wonder Emperor Changtai respects this eldest sister so much.

Shen Ning has never gotten along with her, this eldest princess, she died after two years, and it is really hard to imagine seeing her so energetic now. With the decline of the Zhenyuan Mansion, by the time Shangguan Changzhi ascended the throne, not many people talked about her. Shen Ning's only impression of her still stems from Shangguan Changzhi, and it was also the day he ascended the throne, he got drunk and said: "If Shuhe and the imperial aunt were still here, I wouldn't be so easy to ascend to the throne......" At that time, she was ignorant, and she was only happy that he got what he wanted, and she didn't understand what he meant by this, and she still didn't understand it until now.

If Aunt Shu and the Emperor were still here, it wouldn't be so easy for me to ascend to the throne...... Why would he say that? I haven't heard that Shuhe and the eldest princess are dissatisfied with the five princes, is there a gap between Concubine Li and the eldest princess? I haven't heard of it either.

It seems that there is one more place for the grasshopper to star, Shen Ning thought. She didn't listen carefully to what Shu and the eldest princess were saying, and was immersed in her own thoughts, until the crowd erupted into cheers, and then she came back to her senses, and it turned out that the competition of the Flower Dynasty Festival had begun.

The first competition was naturally calligraphy and painting. There are many daughters of Jingzhao officials and Xu, and there are many who can read and draw, and at a glance, there are more than a dozen girls on the test table who are bending down and bowing their heads to write and draw, which is also very interesting. This kind of impromptu occasion will not take a long time. After a while, one after another, girls came off the stage, and their works were naturally evaluated by the ladies present, and then displayed to the guests of the Flower Dynasty Festival. The palace concubines generally do not appear on this occasion, but they will send henchmen and female officials to keep a close eye on everything.

Shen Ning also took a particularly serious look at Yang Muqiu's calligraphy and painting works mentioned by Shen Mi, in her daughter's house, she is known as the crown of calligraphy and painting, and she is naturally capable, but in Shen Ning's opinion, she is a little disappointed. This is not to say how well Shen Ning paints and how well he writes, but the abundance of experience in the past and present lives has made Shen Ning's vision out of the boudoir long ago, and his maternal grandfather's family is Xishan Yu's family, and any worship post is much better than Yang Muqiu.

Shen Ning couldn't help but feel a little excited. In Shen Ning's opinion, the competition of the Flower Dynasty Festival is not interesting, who can't do piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? There is no first in literature, and there is no first in natural learning, so what can you do if you have to compare with each other? It's just one of the means for the royal clan to look at each other, in fact, the royal selection of daughters-in-law is not just about this scene, she has never participated in the Flower Dynasty Festival in her previous life, and she has not been the fifth princess? In contrast, she was more concerned about whether Qiu Ge had done the job.

In fact, what Shen Ning asked Qiu Ge to do was very simple, but he reminded Chen Wanrou without a trace, "Be careful of the red sleeves", the key is how to avoid the red sleeves that are close to you and spread this sentence to Chen Wanrou's ears. On an occasion like the Flower Dynasty Festival, the maids who can be brought out are naturally the most trusted and close, and Chen Wanrou must also have great trust in Red Sleeves at this time.

Qiu Ge has been responsible for collecting news about Miss Jingzhao's maid for a few days, and he also has an impression of Red Sleeves. What's more, the maids have their own way of getting along, and there are also a few familiar girls from other houses, saying hello to each other, and it is okay to gossip a few times while the master is competing. Red Sleeves is also smart, followed them to the side and said a few words, and then returned to Chen Wanrou to stay, she has another task today, but she can't stay away.

Chen Wanrou saw that Red Sleeves was back, subconsciously shook hands, and asked Red Sleeves: "Whose maids are they?" When these maids left just now, there was a little maid who followed behind the red sleeves, and she was also closer to Chen Wanrou, and she clearly saw the little maid's outstretched palm with the words "red sleeves" written on it, red sleeves?! What happened to Red Sleeves? Why is it so secretive? So, someone wants to remind her? She glanced at Redsleeves absently, and she didn't notice any difference.

"It's just a few maids who usually have dealings, just a few words. Girl, just now the maid of the Zheng family said that her girl was waiting for you at Minghe Lake, and told you something urgent, so you should hurry over. Redsleeves remembered what the man had told her to do, and said it.

Chen Wanrou looked at the red sleeves' low eyebrows as usual, but she felt that there was anger in her chest, remembering that she had attached great importance to the red sleeves over the years, and she would actually turn her back?! She turned out to be that person's person?! She was able to survive safely under the hands of Chen Zhao's family with the heart of the Buddha, and she was also pitied by her grandmother, and her heart was naturally not ordinarily intelligent and forbearing, if there were no those four words, maybe she would have gone, so what would have happened? She felt a chill when she thought about it. At the moment, what else does she not understand?

Hearing Red Sleeves' words, Chen Wanrou didn't answer, she didn't say whether she wanted to go or not at all, this time Red Sleeves was a little anxious, and urged and said, "Maybe the girl of the Zheng family is really in trouble, girl, let's hurry over." ”

Chen Wanrou looked a little lazy, saying that she suddenly felt a little headache, I don't know if there were too many people who were too nervous, and said that she would have to compete later.

"Shaoyi won't blame me, let's go to the test bench." Such a sentence can be regarded as a decision, and Ren Hongsleeve has tried all kinds of methods, but he can't make Chen Wanrou half a step away from the test table.

On the other side, Shen Ning saw Qiu Ge coming back, and winked at her, knowing that the matter was done. Later, when I saw the singing performance, Chen Wanrou went on stage easily, and her performance was also good, and she smiled with confidence. Until the end of the Flower Dynasty Festival, she kept a smile all the way, which made Shen Mi and Shen Yao wonder a little: This sister is in such a happy mood.

Until the end of the banquet of the Flower Dynasty, everything was calm, and nothing happened to hear of it, and the focus of everyone's eyes was on the leaders of the various talent competitions. This time in the Flower Dynasty Festival, there were still many very talented girls, and even Shu and the eldest princess nodded with satisfaction.

Without suspense, Yang Muqiu has become the leader of the art of calligraphy and painting, and the crown of calligraphy and painting is not in vain; In terms of music and art, Jiang Hanxue, the youngest daughter of Jiang Chenghai's family, won the first place with a flute "Hanjiang Yin", and the kind of freedom that can still float outside in the face of bitter cold can still be felt today; Other dances, chess and so on, also have people with excellent performances. Among them, it is surprising that the best performance in the art of riding and archery is Gong Xinci, the granddaughter of Gong Ruxi's family. Looking at her weak appearance, it is really hard to imagine that she can pull three stones with a bow and shoot small objects in the distance, and she won the praise of Shuhe Eldest Princess on the spot. The wives of the officials present also praised the Gong family's teaching daughter for her ability, and she was able to do martial arts, and the wife of the Gong family said modestly: "This is actually to see that she has been weak since she was a child, so she let her learn to ride and shoot to exercise, but I didn't expect to have a little progress, this is Ji Chang's skill in learning archery, and it deserves everyone's praise......

The eldest princess conveyed the praise and encouragement of the ** nobles to the girls, and also rewarded each leader with a lot of palace treasures, which responded to everyone's preferences, and these girls were busy thanking them. At this point, the banquet on the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival ended, and the officials' wives and the girls of various families first sent Shuhe and the eldest princess away, and then under the guidance of the palace maids, they walked out of the Yongya Mountain House one after another. At this time, it was not as silent as when they came, these ladies were talking in twos and threes, and some of them were waiting for their friendships, walking slowly, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the garden all the way, and I don't know how much more relaxed and comfortable than when they came.

Shen Yu and the others also walked to the gate of Heyuan easily, and just happened to meet the Chen family, the secretary of the military department, and the two families greeted each other again before they got into the carriage. When Chen Wanrou saw Qiu Ge beside Shen Ning, her eyes flashed, and she didn't speak, she thought about it in her heart, it turned out to be her, the girl of the Shen family, this favor, she Chen Wanrou wrote it down.

In this Flower Dynasty Festival, some people are out of the limelight, some people feel relaxed and comfortable, and of course some people feel uncomfortable, such as Chen Zhao. Since the end of the Flower Dynasty Festival, she has been gloomy until she returns home, and she can't be relieved, what happened unexpectedly has not happened, and she already knows that she will do it herself! The girl with red sleeves was so unreliable that she let that little slut escape, but it would be difficult to find another opportunity, Chen Zhao thought hatefully.

For example, Concubine Li of Chunxi Palace, when she heard that the female official came to say, "Everything is going well during the Flower Dynasty Festival, and the emperor has already received Shuhe and the eldest princess." His face also froze for a moment, and then he smiled softly: "The eldest princess Shuhe is really thoughtful, of course everything goes well is the best......" But he was thinking in his heart: Didn't Chen Zhao see the paper ball, how could there be no action?

Another example is Shangguan Changzhi of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, when he heard the news, he was thinking that the second child was afraid that he would lose money this time, but he didn't expect that the result would be very different from what he guessed, and nothing happened? How could nothing happen? The guards have already been arranged, just wait for Chen Wanrou to go to Minghe Lake, damn it, didn't she go? "The slave has been waiting for a long time, but no one has come, and I see that the Flower Dynasty Festival is over, so I hurried to report to His Highness." The trembling appearance of the guards made Shangguan Changzhi even more angry, and he didn't understand what went wrong in the middle, but in addition to the guards, even the princes of the hateful Hua Dynasty Festival couldn't participate, otherwise they wouldn't be so confused.

"Check it out! Go find out why she didn't go! The enraged Shangguan Changzhi issued a series of orders. In fact, he also knew that doing this would make no difference, Chen Wanrou did not have an accident, then, the will to give marriage would not change, and the power of the military department Shangshu would be returned to the second child! He's obviously already set up a game, how can this be? The more I thought about it, the more unwilling I became, and I couldn't maintain a gentle expression anymore, so I swept the things off the desk, and I was annoyed.
