Except for Song Ran, the ladies of the family who were present knew each other, and they also often came and went with Mrs. Taifu, and she was not interested in breaking into their social circles, so she only listened to them quietly. After all, she came with King Chengwu's entrustment, and during the whole process, she paid special attention to Miss Li's conversation.

Miss Li's name is Yuyu, quiet and dignified, and she talks elegantly. But as King Chengwu said, she is an impeccable lady, but she always gives people the feeling of wearing a mask.

After changing a few teas and empty, Mrs. Taifu got up and took them to the peony garden to enjoy the peonies.

The peony garden is very large, with thousands of flowers and flowers, and the national color is unparalleled. Song Ran walked at the back of the line, thinking about how to get close to Li Yuyu. It's a pity that she followed Mrs. Taifu every inch and didn't give Song Ran a chance.

Probably God heard Song Ran's heart, and after taking a few steps, Mrs. Taifu said that she was not physically strong, and asked her to help her back to the room to rest. There was still some hour before the family feast in the evening, and the maidens got together and went to the garden on their own.

Song Ran saw that Li Yuyu had placed an order, so she was about to step forward to talk, but unfortunately someone had already taken the lead and held the other party's hand.

The words that King Chengwu told her had to be said alone, and she had to give up for the time being and look for another opportunity.

At this moment, someone suddenly dodged and stopped her. What stood in her way was a girl with a hairpin full of pearls: "Miss Song, have we met somewhere?" As he spoke, he looked at the hosta in her hair with a revealing gaze, "The hairpin on your head, this girl looks so familiar." ”

Song Ran's eyelids jumped, and she remembered, isn't this the girl who robbed her hairpin in the jewelry shop that day.

This girl's name is Chu Lingshan, she has lived in the Li family since she was a child, and she is a cousin with Li Yuyu. Song Ran didn't notice her, but she recognized Song Ran at a glance, and saw that the hairpin on her head was exactly the same as her own, and couldn't help but mock: "Miss Song seems to really like this girl's hairpin, and she can't afford it, so she even went to make a fake." ”

Song Ran didn't want to argue with her, so she only smiled slightly: "This girl, you are in my way." ”

She frowned: "You ......"

Song Ran bypassed her and walked forward, she caught up reluctantly, gritted her teeth and said: "Aren't you a distant relative of King Chengwu who can't beat the eight poles, I don't know where you came from, you can't even afford a hairpin, and you dare to come to the flower feast, and you are not afraid of people's jokes." ”

Song Ran was a little speechless, stopped, and said, "Today, you and I are both guests of the Li Mansion, and we can't hurt the harmony because of a hairpin." This hosta is what I bought with money, and whether it is a fake or not, I know it myself, so I don't bother the girl. ”

The girl was used to being rude, and immediately raised her eyebrows, her face full of resentment: "Who is a guest of the Li Mansion like you, this girl is the cousin of this mansion!" This girl just doesn't like to use the same thing as others, and she feels unlucky! As he spoke, he rushed forward and wanted to snatch the hairpin on her head, but Song Ran dodged herself.

There was water everywhere in the Li Mansion, and they were standing next to a pool with koi fish at this time, Song Ran saw that the girl's feet slipped and almost fell into the water, so he hurriedly reached out and pulled her, but unexpectedly, her eyes flashed fiercely, and after standing firm, he pushed her to her chest, and pushed her into the water.

Song Ran exclaimed in surprise and fell into the water. Although the pool was shallow, the pebbles at the bottom made her feel painful, and she was soaked all over, and she was extremely embarrassed for a while.

The movement here quickly alarmed the others, and the maids of the Li Mansion hurriedly helped her up, and Li Yuyu also followed the voice, and said with concern: "What's the matter?" How can you fall into the water? ”

Without waiting for Song Ran to answer, the initiator pointed at her and said, "Sister Yuyu, it's not that she wants to push me, but she fell into the water." ”

Song Ran saw that she was the wicked person who sued first, her eyes were cold, and she said: "It's obvious that you want to rob my hairpin and push me into the water, how can you accuse me of pushing you in turn." ”

The girl raised her eyebrows: "You said I pushed you into the water, who saw it?" The hosta on your head is nothing but a fake, I'll rob you? Don't put gold on your face! ”

Li Yuyu calmed down and said, "Miss Song, let's go and change into clean clothes quickly, it's not good to get a cold." ”

Song Ran was supported by her, and when she passed by the girl, she suddenly paused and looked at her with a smile: "There is something I didn't want to mention, but since Miss Biao mentioned it, it's better to say it." In fact, the hosta on Miss Biao's head is a fake. If you don't believe it, you can take it down and let Miss Li taste it. ”

The girl's forehead was beating frequently by her, this hairpin was bought by her at a great price, how could it be a fake. She was full of blood and blood, pulled out the hairpin on her head, and said, "Okay." You and I will let Sister Yuyu make a judgment to see whose is the fake. ”

In the eyes of everyone, Song Ran gently pulled off the hairpin on her head, her bun was all pulled up by this hairpin, and as soon as she pulled it out, her long hair fell out, but she was already embarrassed, and she was not afraid of continuing to make a fool of herself.

Li Yuyu hesitated, and took the two hairpins in her hands, although they were both high-grade mutton fat jade, but obviously, Song Ran's one was even more natural, and at first glance it was from a famous family, Chu Lingshan's one, which was also lifelike at a single glance, but when placed together with the other, it was immediately dwarfed.

Although she and Chu Lingshan are cousins, they are not biased towards her, and said truthfully: "Liu Zi'an is a wonderful hand in grinding jade, and the veins on Miss Song's hairpin are as thin as a hair, delicate and delicate, I am afraid that there is no one in this world who can carve such a hairpin." ”

She stopped at the point, but everyone present understood what she meant, and when she looked at Chu Lingshan, she couldn't help but look at the meaning of the joke a little more.

Chu Lingshan's eyes were round, and her face was incredulous. Li Yuyu's eyes fell on the two women in front of her, only to see that one of them was full of pearls and green hair, neatly dressed, but her face was full of embarrassment, and the other was embarrassed in appearance, but she had an indescribable demeanor. Just like these two almost identical hostas, in the eyes of people who know the goods, which is better and which is inferior, the superior and the inferior.

At this time, no one noticed that there was another pair of eyes not far away, also watching the situation here.

"Lord Xiao, Your Highness saw that you had not returned for a long time, and sent a villain to find you, why did you come to the Peony Garden?"

He retracted his gaze and said lightly, "I accidentally went the wrong way." And he said, "Lead the way." ”

On the way to help Song Ran to change clothes, Li Yuyu said: "Lingshan, she has been above the top since she was a child, she is rude and willful, and she has caused a lot of trouble, in the final analysis, she was spoiled by my father." Please also ask Miss Song for the sake of her loss of her father and mother since she was a child, don't be surprised by her, I can't compensate you for it. ”

When Song Ran heard this, he looked at her and said, "Miss Li doesn't have to apologize for her, she is young and reckless, I don't take it to heart, it's just that if she keeps going like this, she will always get into trouble in the future." She dared to push me into the water for a hairpin today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow? She's only going to get bolder. Now that she still has the blessing of the Li Mansion, what about when she leaves the cabinet? ”

Li Yuwei raised her brows slightly, and then said with a straight face: "Miss Song is right, I will show my mother about today's matter and discipline her strictly." Just ask Miss Song to be wronged, don't tell the prince about this. ”

She heard that King Chengwu had a fiery and irritable personality, and if she knew that her people were being bullied in the Li Mansion, she was afraid that she would not give up.

Song Ran smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, girl." ”

When she was able to distinguish the authenticity of the two hostas for herself, she had already shown due self-cultivation, if she had a heart to protect her shortcomings, it could be said that she couldn't distinguish it, of course, she may also be hindered by her relationship with King Chengwu, so she would come forward to defend it, but no matter what kind of considerations she had, it made Song Ran feel good.

When she arrived in the wing, a little girl brought clean clothes and put them on for Song Ran, Song Ran sat in front of the dressing mirror, took the hairpin handed by Li Yuyu, and said, "Miss Li, I have something to say to you alone." ”

Seeing that she was in trouble, Li Yuyu immediately withdrew from the maid and said, "Miss Song, please speak." ”

Song Ran pulled up his hair casually: "Actually, the prince has something to say, and he wants to ask Miss Li." ”

Li Yuyu's heart jumped, stabilized her mind, and asked her: "I don't know the prince...... What do you have to ask the little girl? ”

Song Ran didn't miss the subtle expression that flashed on her face when she heard the word "prince". That expression, if she was not mistaken, actually had a hint of ...... Exclusion and rejection?

She pondered in her heart for a moment, raised her eyes and asked, "Is Miss Li really willing to marry into the palace?" ”

Li Yuyu walked to the table, lifted the purple clay pot and poured tea, her hair was meticulously combed, her makeup and demeanor were impeccable, the whole person was as delicate as a peerless vase, and her tone was just right: "This marriage, the high hall is happy, the concubine is satisfied, and the entire Li family is deeply glorified, how can the little girl not want to?" ”

Song Ran's gaze fell on her, and she didn't speak for a long time. The life of the high hall, the words of the concubine, and the glory of the family are all ranked in front of herself.

This is the marriage of the family.

Song Ran narrowed his eyes, took the tea she handed over, and said, "Let me ask a different question." Put the teacup in hand, "Is Miss Li willing to marry the prince?" ”

Li Yuyu paused, and a trace of confusion appeared on her delicate face: "Is there a difference in this question?" ”

"There is a natural difference. What I asked was whether you would like to marry into the palace, and this time I asked if you would like to marry the prince. Putting aside the door and family glory, would you like to marry him? ”

Li Yuyu understood what she meant, lowered her eyes, and said: "The little girl has never even seen the face of the prince, but I heard that the prince is brave and good at fighting, and the little girl has no reason to be picky." ”

Of course, she also heard that this person has a wild temperament, acts uninhibitedly, and is very good at making enemies......

I don't know what my father has taken a fancy to this prince.

These words, she naturally swallowed quietly. When she raised her eyes again, she saw a pair of dark and clear eyes staring at her, she was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, afraid that Song Ran would continue to ask, and hurriedly said: "Miss Song, the family banquet is about to start, let's go." ”

Song Ran didn't have anything else to ask, so she took her hand and walked towards the place where the guests were feasting.
