Coincidentally, Shen Mingru and Duchess Ning Guo, who were delayed because Ning Heng was crying and went out, also arrived, and several people stopped by the way.

Every inch of land in Beijing is expensive, and Princess Showa only divided half of the original garden of the Guogong Mansion and planted peach blossoms. In previous years, most of the peach blossom banquets held by other princesses were rented.

Although the nobles of the family have their own gardens, they will not grow too many precious flowers, after all, it is also an expense to take care of them. When you need a banquet, you can rent it at the flower garden.

Like Princess Showa, she planted a piece of peach blossom for the peach blossom banquet, also because she liked it.

When she arrived at the garden, Duchess Ning Guo was going to the ladies, she was old, and she couldn't talk to Shen Qingru and Ruoxuan County Lord, so Shen Mingru naturally followed her.

As a result, there were only three Shen Qingru left.

Lord Ruoxuan finally remembered the nobles who had been abandoned by her at this time, and busily dragged Shen Qingru and the county lord of Weixi towards the pavilion in the middle.

When I got there, everyone was there.

Qin Xiyan was also there, chatting happily with Gong Lingzheng, and seeing Shen Qingru coming, he hurriedly restrained his smile and stood aside with his hands down.

Gong Ling didn't say anything, but glared at Shen Qingru viciously.

Shen Qingru raised her head slightly, and Gong Lingqi jumped to her feet, in her opinion, this was a naked provocation. But just now, Duchess Chen Guo told her not to go to Shen Qingru's trouble today.

Because of the matter of being retired to the mansion, Gong Ling was also reprimanded in the Guogong Mansion, not to mention, Gong Ling knew that whether she wanted to defeat Shen Qingru or marry a good family, the Guogong Mansion was her biggest reliance. Therefore, she did not dare to disobey the words of Mrs. Chen Guo.

Shen Qingru's gaze only skimmed over Gong Ling's body, but instead looked at Qin Xiyan several times.

In the palace before, Gong Ling and Shen Qing were incompatible, and they did not pretend to Qin Xiyan. Unexpectedly, it had only been a long time since he left the palace, and he had been so close to Qin Xiyan. This Qin Xiyan always made Shen Qingru feel that it was not so simple. However, she has been doing her duty recently, and Shen Qingru can only take more precautions herself.

Seeing that she had been looking at Qin Xiyan, Lord Ruoxuan leaned over and whispered, "I don't like her." ”

The lord of Weixi joked to her: "She is your godaunt." ”

Lord Ruoxuan's face fell.

It's because of this that she doesn't like it, obviously Qin Xiyan is not a few years old with her. Shen Qingru was funny, she couldn't understand what Xiao Yuan thought, and asked Qin Xiyan to recognize the British Duke as her brother, so that Qin Xiyan's seniority was one round older than Xiao Yuan.

Lord Weixi lowered his voice and said, "I don't like her either." ”

Lord Ruoxuan wondered: "She's not your godaunt, what do you hate?" ”

Lord Weixi tilted his head and thought about it, and whispered, "I don't know, I just don't like it." After speaking, he glanced at Shen Qingru again, a little embarrassed, "I saw that Sister Qingru liked it very much at first sight." ”

Shen Qingru was suddenly confessed and flattered, "I like you very much too." ”

If Lord Xuan looked sideways, why did she feel that something was wrong?

The three of them looked at each other for a while, and they all thought it was funny.

Seeing that they were chatting happily, a girl said, "What are you whispering, so happy, come and listen." ”

It was the lord of Ruozen who spoke, and her mother was the most favored eldest princess. If the lord of Chan County thinks very highly of himself, except for a few royal relatives, no one else looks down on him.

Even Gong Jin, who has always been good friends with the eldest princess, Ruochan County Lord can't look down on it in his heart. She felt that Gong Jin had been the sole pet of the harem for so many years, and she still couldn't sit in the queen's seat, which was a little useless. Not to mention Gong Lan, Gong Ling, and Gong Ruoer.

One has been a side concubine for more than ten years, and the other side concubine has not been regarded as a side concubine, and was taken home by a recess of others. I don't know, how can there be a face out. As for Gong Ruo'er, the lord of Ruochan looked down on her background and didn't even bother to say anything.

Gong Ruoer patted the horse's ass a few times, and now she doesn't dare to speak in front of the lord of Ruochan. Seeing the lord of Ruochan, she was envious and jealous, if she had such a noble background, she wouldn't have to please this and that every day.

Ruoxuan County Lord also doesn't like Ruochan County Lord, Ruochan County Lord relies on being two years older and the emperor's favor, so he doesn't give them a lot of faces. But in front of everyone, he had to answer, and only said: "You have said that it is a whisper, so how can you say it." ”

Ruochan County Lord just asked casually, she couldn't look at the nobles here, no one could talk, and she was a little bored, so she talked to Ruoxuan County Lord. was softly replied by Lord Ruoxuan, and he was not interested in asking again.

Gong Ling glanced at a few people, suddenly tugged at Gong Ruoer's sleeve, and said something in her ear, Gong Ruo'er was a little reluctant, but she still went to the front of the lord of Ruochan and said, "Sister Ruochan, why don't we compose poems and play?" ”

Lord Ruochan glanced at her contemptuously, "Just you?" Can you compose poetry? ”

There is a reason why the lord of Zen is arrogant, she has been smart since she was a child, she is familiar with poetry and books, and the poems she writes are even said to be good by the emperor.

Gong Ruo'er has a black face. Gong Ling on the side patted her chest, fortunately she was smart and didn't go by herself.

Gong Ruo'er gritted her teeth, and still said with a smile on her face: "My little ink, where is it compared to Sister Shangruozen." But now it's boring, just to pass the time. ”

Lord Ruozen was really bored, and when he heard this, he reluctantly agreed, "Okay." ”

Gong Ruo'er deliberately glanced at Shen Qingru's side, "If you want to come, let's come together, it's fun when there are more people." If the lord of the county and the princess of Xiao Shi also come together. ”

Someone in the crowd immediately covered their mouths and smiled, and some people said in a weird way, "Yes, Concubine Xiao Shi is here together, it must be much more interesting." ”

The previous owner didn't know the height of the sky, and she often offended people without knowing it, so there were still quite a lot of people who wanted to see her jokes. What's more, Miss Shen San is a straw bag, everyone knows it. The poems I wrote at the banquet in the past were miserable, and I felt good about myself, and I didn't know how many people laughed and bent over behind my back.

Ruoxuan County Lord and Weixi County Lord just looked at Shen Qingru curiously, they had heard Shen Qingru's rumors before, but it was better to meet when they heard people, and they had a very good impression of Shen Qingru. And Shen Qingru is generous and down-to-earth, but he is really not as vulgar as rumored.

Shen Wanru hated Shen Qingru very much today, wishing that she would make a fool of herself in front of everyone, and said loudly: "My third sister is only eight years old, and no one in Beijing can compare." ”

Shen Wanru's words instantly filled Shen Qingru with hatred. These nobles are very proud, which one is willing to admit that they are not as good as Shen Qingru's straw bag?

Shen Qingru squinted slightly, "Fourth sister, have you forgotten all about it?" I thought about it before I spoke. ”

Shen Wanru bit her lip and completely let it go, anyway, she has become a joke today, and she will drag Shen Qingru to accompany her when she dies, "Third sister, I will keep the previous events in my heart." But I didn't talk nonsense, you said it yourself before, your poems are unmatched, you won't forget, right? ”

Shen Qingru was speechless, this was indeed like what she could say before.

Ruochan County Lord was already impatient, pointed at Shen Qingru, and said, "You, come together." "She thinks she is unparalleled in talent, what kind of goods is Shen Qingru, and she dares to be arrogant in front of her?

After speaking, without waiting for Shen Qingru to speak, he said to Gong Ruo'er: "How can you compare?" ”

Gong Ruo'er saw that the success had provoked the competitiveness of the lord of Ruochan, and hurriedly said: "Since today is to enjoy the peach blossoms, take the peach blossoms as the theme, within a pillar of incense, whoever writes the best is who wins." As for the judges......"

It happened that Princess Showa and the ladies also came over, and Gong Ruoer said happily: "Please ask Princess Showa and the ladies to bear it." "The more people who come, the better, and see if Shen Qingru has the face to go out in the future.

Princess Showa was curious: "What to do?" ”

Someone immediately explained.

Princess Showa smiled, "Okay." Then it will be a nuisance to the ladies. ”

The ladies smiled and agreed.

Only Shen Mingru looked at Shen Qingru with a worried gaze. She knew what level her sister was, and she was afraid that Shen Qingru's reputation would finally improve, and it would be gone.

Shen Qingru's heart warmed, and she shook her head at Shen Mingru to reassure her.

Shen Mingru remembered that now this sister often surprises her, and she is also much more mature and stable, and she will not do things that she is not sure of.

The Peach Blossom Banquet not only invited female dependents, but also invited many male dependents. Many sons of the family heard that there was a poetry competition here, and they all rushed over to see the excitement. It's just that because of the big trouble between men and women, standing at the gazebo on the other side, watching from a distance.

After a while, the maid prepared the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, moved the table, lit a pillar of incense, and the ladies participating in the competition pondered and thought about it.

Gong Ruoer's poems are really bad, I wrote a few words, I felt that it was not good, and I threw it away and rewrote it. Gong Ling is slightly better than her.

Shen Wanru broke the jar today, wrote a poem casually, and cheered up to see Shen Qingru's joke.

Shen Mingru was thinking. She had just seen Lan Yu's figure in the crowd opposite, and if this poem was well written, it might also leave some impressions.

Ruoxuan County Lord and Weixi County Lord are soy sauce makers.

Only the lord of Ruochan County, who was confident, picked up the pen and wrote a poem in a short time.

Satisfied, he put down the pen, and looked at Shen Qingru again, holding the brush in both hands, as if he wanted to break it.

Many people have seen it.

"What is she trying to do?"

"It's not because I'm afraid of losing face and want to take a broken brush to hurt myself."

Duchess Chen glanced at it and said to Shen Mingru: "Mrs. Shizi, you should go and persuade your sister." It doesn't matter if you lose face, don't think about it. ”

Shen Mingru said calmly: "Don't bother the Duchess of Laoguo." If you have time, think about it later. ”

Duchess Chen snorted coldly.

The man on the other side is already laughing like crazy. Da Xiao men advocate martial arts, they are all from childhood to adulthood, they are deaf and clear-sighted, and they can see Shen Qingru's movements clearly.

Xiao Yuan didn't come. But Xiao Ran, who loves to join in the fun, is here.

Many people came to laugh at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran grimaced. Lan Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your sister-in-law is too funny." ”

Xiao Ran glanced at him, "You speak carefully, my brother heard it, and I asked you to practice." ”

Lan Yu was surprised, "Wouldn't it?" Brother Xiao didn't ...... to Shen San's girl"

Xiao Ran bared his teeth, "Your news is too backward, my brother's favorite thing now is my sister-in-law, and even my little nephew can't compare." ”
