Song Wu'er and Linchun walked around the garden of the Yingjun Palace, and gradually it was autumn, the weather became cooler, and the two of them sat down in the pavilion and chatted.

"Auntie, are you okay? In fact, Chu Mi'er has not come to Yingjun Wangfu for a long time, and yesterday someone suddenly said that she was coming to help, and her mother let her come if she didn't refuse. ”

"Did you think she knew you were coming, so she wanted to come and make a difference? The more I look at her now, the more irritable I become. ”

The servant brought two plates of pastries and two cups of tea, and threw a piece of hibiscus cake into his mouth angrily, because it was too big, so he choked.

Song Wu'er hurriedly handed her the tea and helped her to calm down.

"What a person, I still choke on myself when I eat. I guess the eldest sister will also start to help you talk about marriage! ”

At the mention of this, Linchun, who had just passed through his breath, looked sad, "You know what! Since you got engaged to the crown prince and uncle, Concubine Shu often sent people to send things over, and my mother guessed Concubine Shu's intentions, so she began to help me discuss marriage, but I really don't want to marry casually! ”

After having an unpleasant quarrel with the Song family, Concubine Shu began to look for the daughters of various ministers, and the daughters of other ministers of appropriate age all participated in the draft this year, so they could only look for them at a younger age.

Unexpectedly, even Linchun was within her range. After all, Linchun is the most painful granddaughter of the Zhao family.

Song Wu'er was so surprised that her mouth opened wide, although Linchun was about the same age as her, she was her niece!

"I didn't say it beforehand, my mother shouldn't marry me to someone I don't like. But what about you? It is rumored that you and the crown prince are rumored outside

Is it true that uncles are in love? ”

Linchun listened to the rumors outside, "The prince has a poisonous mouth, Song Wu'er is stupid, one of the two people can't understand the other party's bad words, and the other is moved by the other party's dislike, and he will be found by the emperor during the draft, and the emperor doesn't care about it, and directly gives marriage." ”

However, she didn't dare to let Song Wu'er know about this, so she could only say it tactfully.

Song Wu'er thought about it and didn't know how to answer, why did everyone ask if they really liked Lou Lichen, obviously many people were just the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers.

Let her say that she likes Lou Lichen, she really can't say it!

Song Wu'er stumbled and said, "Sort of, didn't I say it?" I entered the palace to participate in the draft, and I always have to marry someone. You also know what the kings of Nam An and Yong An are like. My mother originally arranged for me to be brushed down in the re-examination, but I was messed up by the lady concubine, I really didn't want to marry the king of Nan'an, so it became like this. ”

Got it now, right? I have to choose, the two of them are just helping each other.

"Then what's the matter with him hitting you? Is it really because of Chu Mi'er? Lin Chun was indignant, if it weren't for Chu Mi'er being a guest, she would have to teach her a lesson.

When Song Wu'er mentioned this, she felt aggrieved, "This is really none of my business." Those two people did not do a good thing on the road, they were bumped into by the prince, and after a few words, Chu Mi'er couldn't stand it and ran away, and King Nan'an waved his fist at me in order to avenge Chu Mi'er. ”

"It's good that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pushed me away, otherwise I would have been more seriously injured."

Song Wu'er is now a little curious about how the gossip on the street spreads, it is all rumors about herself, but how are these people

I don't know the truth at all!

Staying at the Song family some time ago, Zhao and Song Yuanniang didn't let the maid tell her that she wasn't interested in these groundless things, so they didn't ask.

Lin Chun thought for a long time and said, "I now believe that you and the crown prince and uncle are in love!" ”

Song Wu'er was so frightened that she almost squirted out the tea she had just drunk, I said so much to say how wronged I was and had to marry Lou Lichen.

"How did you come to this conclusion?"

Linchun explained seriously: "You see, the crown prince and uncle have such a bad attitude towards this pair of dog men and women, not only is he ruthless, but in order to help you get angry, he put the third emperor uncle into the lotus pond, isn't this what he likes about you?" As for you, auntie, I can see from the state you just squirmed and pinched, the two of us grew up together, and no one knows you better than me! ”

What is this theory? Lou Lichen was already speaking ugly, and he was the same to everyone, but Lou Jingyuan's patience was too poor, so he made a move on himself. As for her? She didn't twiggle it at all, that's called deliberation.

Linchun grew up with her, the two of them had nothing to say, and Linchun spoke straight, so Song Wuer didn't know how to answer.

Song Wu'er waved her hand, "Don't talk about this matter, I came to bring you some good things this time, and Chun'er brought the things." ”

Chun'er put the box on the table, and Linchun hurriedly went up to open it, it turned out to be rouge and balm on the third floor of the jewelry workshop!

Linchun said in surprise: "Auntie, where did you get the baby?" Hasn't the third floor of this jewelry shop been closed for a long time? No wonder me

Seeing that you are so beautiful, I thought that I was going to get married, what kind of panacea did my grandmother give you! ”

Song Wu'er said in a weak mosquito and fly voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave it." ”

She didn't say that the jewelry workshop belonged to Lou Lichen, and many boxes of dowries sent by the palace were from the jewelry workshop, and several of them were these rouge and balm, and the people were envious when they saw it!

Linchun didn't hear clearly, and Song Wu'er repeated it again.

"What did I say, fortunately, we saw the hookup between the Third Emperor Uncle and Chu Mi'er at that time, so that you can get rid of the clutches of the devil and get to know the crown prince and uncle!"

Song Wu'er didn't go to see Linchun, "Of course, the dowry given by the palace is something we haven't seen, you quickly put it away, don't tell the eldest sister that this is a dowry." ”

Linchun hurriedly asked his subordinates to put things away.

"Let's go help, the eldest sister should have already taken care of the matter. There are so many things to prepare for the Hundred Flowers Banquet, don't delay it because of me. ”

Linchun nodded, she didn't want her mother to be too tired.

When the two of them returned to the front yard hall, the side concubine had already left, and the Wang family sat next to Song Yuanniang to help, Chu Mi'er stood motionless, her eyes were red, and she looked very innocent.

Lin Chun glanced at Chu Mi'er, and then grabbed Song Yuanniang's arm.

"Mother, my aunt and I went to the gazebo in the garden to use some pastries, and then honestly came back to help."

Linchun wasn't worried at all that her mother would be bullied.

Song Wu'er took out the list of previous years that Lou Xingzhen gave her, "Eldest sister, am I in charge of the invitation list together with Linchun?" This is last year's list, and my sister-in-law asked me to bring it over, saying that it could be used as a reference. ”

Song Yuanniang smiled and squeezed Linchun and Song Wu'er's hands, "Now that you have a reference list, you two go inside to set up a list!" I'll find someone to write it when the list is set, and I don't feel at ease with the two of you writing it, and I'm afraid that I'll be tired of you. ”

In fact, Song Yuanniang is not at ease, the words of these two people, one is uglier than the other.

"By the way, there will be some changes to this year's and last year's lists, and the princes and princesses will be invited."

The Hundred Flowers Banquet has just been moved outside the palace to be held, and many princesses don't come if they find it boring, and the prince will come to King Nan'an. This year, Song Wu'er came to help, and these royal family members had to be solemnly invited.

I heard that the concubine and the concubine will come at that time, but the concubine and the concubine don't need an invitation, so you only need to invite the princess.

"By the way, there are also those who will enter the palace to participate in the draft with you this year, whether they are selected or not, they must be invited. This year's Hundred Flowers Banquet is a little grander, so there are more people. ”

After Song Wu'er wrote them down one by one, he and Linchun were walking to the inner room, and Chu Mi'er spoke.

"Sister, why don't I help Sister Wu'er and Linchun, the invitation list is so important, it sounds very complicated just now, and one more help can be confirmed."

Song Yuanniang was a little hesitant, these two children were frizzy, why don't you let Chu Mi'er do a favor? She glanced at Song Wu'er and still politely rejected Chu Mi'er's proposal.

"Mi'er, I have more important things to help me with, what pastries, teas, and dishes at the banquet were all set by Xun'er in previous years, and I was really caught off guard when I took over this year, you can help me, the invitation has the old practice of last year, let the two of them decide."

Chu Mi'er sat down next to Song Yuanniang honestly, and the two of them entered the house with their heads held high.

Entering the inner room, Song Wu'er spread out the rice paper, "Let's order the invitation card in the palace first." Can't those concubines leave the palace at will, so they don't need to be invited? Then we only invite princesses and princes? ”

Linchun was also worried, "The Hundred Flowers Banquet was moved to the palace because of the death of the queen, and the crown prince and uncle must not participate, so do you still need to give the invitation?" The second and third emperor uncles were grounded, was that an invitation or not? ”

Song Wu'er thought for a while, "The prince's invitation is easy to solve, whether he comes or not, the invitation still has to be there." ”

If he appears recently, ask him if he is coming, thinking that Song Wu'er involuntarily looked up, and when he saw the roof, he realized that he was now in the house of the Yingjun Palace.

"What about the kings of Nan'an and Yong'an? It's not good not to hand over the invitation, and if you do, you are disobeying the emperor. Why don't we go out and ask? ”

Song Wu'er got up and was about to go out, but Linchun hurriedly grabbed her, she still felt bad after thinking about it, "Didn't Chu Mi'er just think that the two of us were not capable just now and said that she was going to come over to get in the way?" We just came in and went out to ask, that didn't let her succeed, we can't ask! ”

"Then let's skip it first and make another list first?"

Linchun nodded, it could only be like this, but the two of them were worried. There are more princesses in the palace than princes, and there are both favored and unfavored, so should the princesses of Zhaoyi, who have no sense of existence, also be invited?

"No matter what, invite them all, whether it's the princess or the county lord, it's their business whether they come or not!"

The two of them worked hard, holding back their fingers, whether they were missing people.

Then there are some princes' sons and county lords, young masters and daughters of important ministers in the court, and then there are some officials who are not high, but they have daughters in the family who marry better.

Even if there is a list from previous years, there are quite a lot of changes.

The two of them were dragged by Song Yuanniang to finish lunch and work hard, Song Yuanniang was very relieved to see the serious appearance of the two.
