Meng Tao hurriedly said: "No, it's something else." She bent down and whispered in her ear, "The queen mother asks you, like the words made at the bottom of the splendid slope, which are almost the same, can you fill in one more rhyme?" ”

Qiu Yulan's face suddenly became very strange: "Long Birthday Festival? ”

"Not necessarily." Meng Tao's voice was lower, "As long as it means auspicious and beautiful...... It's all done! ”

Qiu Yulan recalled the guidance of the senior noble daughter Ruan Ciyi - as the prospective daughter-in-law of the Jiang Banchao family, she must not be high when she should be in the limelight, otherwise she will be underestimated by the concubines and sisters-in-law, and the elders of the Jiang family will be disappointed, and it will be difficult to live in the future.

She nodded in a deep voice: "I think about it, it should be fine!" Then he asked, "When will it be?" Before the feast? ”

"It's all done before the feast is over." Meng Tao said softly, "Don't worry about the flowers...... Just ......"

Qiu Yulan was surprised and asked, "Just what?" ”

"It's just this word, can it ...... Give it to someone else? Meng Tao's lips almost touched her earlobe, and she asked imperceptibly.

"......" Qiu Yulan was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that this was to make herself a gunman, she thought about it for a while, and suddenly guessed, "Is it for His Royal Highness King Qi?" ”

Meng Tao pursed her lips: "The county lord is smart!" ”

Obviously, King Qi, who was supported by the queen, failed to overwhelm King Yan at the birthday ceremony, and this was planning to change the way to show off.

Qiu Yulan is indispensable, anyway, her words are also copied, and she is labeled by herself, to be honest, she still feels empty-hearted! gave it to King Qi, not only to please the queen, but also to contribute to the political struggle of the Jiang family, she simply nodded: "Then I won't put pen to paper, you have to worry about it, memorize it!" ”

Last time at the bottom of the splendid slope, Meng Tao followed Jiang Qizheng to see her "quick thinking", and she was not surprised to hear the words at this moment, and said with a chuckle: "Then the maid will go first, and come back later?" so as not to be suspected. ”

"Go ahead, I'll have to think about it for a moment." Qiu Yulan nodded: Which one should I copy? That's a problem......

Then she kept thinking about it, and almost knocked over the wine cup several times, Qiu Jinzhu glanced at her from the corner of her eye for a long time, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Fifth sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Oh, nothing." When Qiu Yulan heard this, he settled down and said that he had nothing to do.

Qiu Jinzhu lowered her head to cover her eyes and said, "Fifth sister, there are a lot of flowers in the palace today, let's go out and have a look later?" ”

"You go alone, I already have an appointment." Qiu Yulan shook his head.

"Oh......" Qiu Jinzhu's tone seemed a little disappointed.

Qiu Yulan ignored her, and while using wine and food, she picked good words from her memory...... After a few dishes, she looked towards the Jiang family, and just happened to see Meng Tao, so she glanced at her.

After a while, Meng Tao touched it and asked in surprise, "Got it?" ”

"There it is." Qiu Yulan whispered the content of the words for her to memorize, Meng Tao gasped after hearing this, and said with admiration: "County Lord, you ......" She didn't seem to be able to find a suitable adjective for a while, and only sighed sincerely, "You are really talented!" ”

"It's not all written now, but one of them was written not long ago. But I'm sure no one knows, including my henchmen. Qiu Yulan coughed dryly, "Okay, you go!" ”

Meng Tao recited it repeatedly, recited it to her correctly, and asked which of the words was in the same sound, and then retreated.

At this time, the singing and dancing had changed a few times, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became lively, and the bold began to move around.

Zhuang Mantou went to Qiu Yulan and asked with a smile: "I saw Meng Tao looking for you back and forth a few times, what's the matter, Cousin Nineteen came to pester you again?" Even Meng Tao has been supported! ”

"Nothing." Qiu Yulan said with a smile, "It's Her Royal Highness Princess Chunfu who is afraid that I will eat such a banquet for the first time, so remind me!" ”

"Who are you fooling?" Zhuang Man didn't believe it at all, "You were taught by Mr. Shao, and your aunt is still around, so you still need her to mention it?" Besides, this palace banquet is nothing remarkable, isn't it like that? ”

Before Qiu Yulan answered, Xin Fubing also came over: "Man'er, you run too fast - Sister Qiu, last time the nineteenth cousin of the lotus flower dug you directly from the lake, don't you want it?" ”

"I was trying to tell you this!" Qiu Yulan said apologetically, "Now there are ...... planted in the villa."

"It's fine!" Xin Fubing waved his hand, "Actually, my family's other business was also dug from there." Oh, I'm here to ask you, koi either? This one looks good with lotus flowers, and there are a lot of ...... in my pool."

Before she finished speaking, Meng Tao came over again, smiled apologetically at Zhuang Man and Xin Fubing, and leaned over and told Qiu Yulan: "Niang Niang said, what flowers do you want, take advantage of the crowds here, go out and pick them yourself...... There are palace people waiting outside to show you the way. ”

Qiu Yulan was stunned for a moment, looked at the palace, but saw that Empress Jiang was turning her head to say something to her female official, and vaguely guessed that the queen was planning to let King Qi play—probably because she was afraid of being associated with her, so she hoped that she could avoid it.

"I'll go." She took out all the words, and she didn't care about the perfection, so she got up immediately.

Seeing this situation, Zhuang Man and Xin Fubing both smiled ambiguously: "Want to go out?" ”

"What are you thinking? The queen wants to reward me with a few pots of flowers, and let me take advantage of the lack of people to go out and pick them. Qiu Yulan chirped.

"Didn't think about anything, what do you have to explain?" The two friends covered their mouths and laughed, "Isn't this a weak heart?" ”

"I won't tell you!" Qiu Lulan took the silk fan handed by Su He, hit them with a gesture, turned his head and said a symbolic greeting to Princess Yang, and then turned away.

She left the table, and Zhuang and Xin, who had come to find her, naturally would not continue to stay here, and returned to their seats while talking: "That koi, do you want Man'er?" ”

"I have it in my family!" Zhuang Man was surprised, "It's not that your family can't afford to raise it, what are you doing in such a hurry to give it away?" ”

"It's too much, I'm afraid the pool can't accommodate it." Xin Fubing explained, "When I went out this morning, I saw a large school of fish jumping around there, and the parrots hanging by the lake were terrified, and they all screamed hysterically! I just want to go back and have to get someone to knock down a few nets......"

When she said this, a girl about twelve or thirteen years old in a goose yellow summer dress not far away heard it and looked up and interjected: "Hey, something strange happened in your home today?" My rabbit is also tossing and turning today...... Besides, which minion was punished and deliberately disturbed it! ”

"Silence!" Before Xin Fubing and Zhuang Man could answer, an older young lady next to the girl had already whispered, "What did you say!" Isn't it just a rabbit making trouble? What a miracle! ”

looked at Xin and Zhuang again, and eased his tone slightly, "Did the two young ladies say it?" Today, it's Hallowe! ”

Xin Fubing and Zhuang Man were older, and they immediately understood: "What Madam said is that it is us Meng Lang." With that, he bowed to her and quickened his pace to walk away.

When they left, the girl named "Guoxi" said with some dissatisfaction: "Something is wrong...... When we came over, we saw rats moving on the mountain road......"

"Okay, okay, little ancestor!" The lady who persuaded her sighed, grabbed her arm and pulled it to her side, and said in a low voice, "It's Halloween today, if it is auspicious to say it, it will be a good mouthpiece, a few of the things we saw, rabbits and mice, where can it be related to auspiciousness?" Didn't you say it for nothing, didn't the heavens like it! Will our Cheng family be able to please at that time? ”

The voice was lowered, "What's more, the two just now, one is the maiden niece of the fourth lady of the Jiang family, and the other is the daughter of the fifth aunt of the Jiang family, the pearl of the Guanzhou Thorn History, they are all from the queen's side, who knows if you just entered Beijing and deliberately spoke to lead you to mix?" Our father has always followed Xue Xiang, you don't want to learn from Xue Xiang's young daughter Xue Fangmi, see the sky and pit your own people! ”

The corners of Cheng Guoxi's mouth twitched: "I just think...... What's wrong? ”

"It's not your turn to worry about it when the sky falls!" The noble lady who persuaded her frowned, "Our father easily got this opportunity to be transferred back to Beijing, and Xue Xiangke promised to take Ding Hanlin's position before...... It's better to have more than less, you know? ”

"Oh!" Cheng Guoxi responded absentmindedly and muttered in a low voice, "But I still feel that something is wrong?" ”

She felt that something was wrong, and after leaving the palace, she was led by the palace people to turn around and walk for a long time, and after many flowers and Qiu Lan, who had not stopped, she also felt that something was wrong: "This sister, where are you going to take me?" I see the flowers around here are good. ”

If Meng Tao hadn't handed her over to this palace maid, Qiu Yulan would have suspected that the other party wanted to be unfavorable to her!

Fortunately, the palace maid hurriedly explained: "But the nineteenth prince is waiting for you in front......"

"......" Qiu Yulan was speechless for a while, and said, "Okay." "She thought it was for King Qi to play and let herself hide! The co-authorship really made Zhuang Man right!

After a while, he saw the river cliff frost that had been waiting here one step earlier on the side of a rockery, and today because of the celebration, he wore a crimson brocade robe, a jade belt, and a beautiful jade, with long black hair on the top of his head in a square bun, and a mutton fat jade bamboo hairpin was inserted, and between his slender and white fingers there were also branches of brightly colored roses.

…… After the palace maid left, Su He and Shen Shui also walked a little farther and turned around to enjoy the surrounding scenery.

Jiang Yashuang inserted the rose into the temples of the autumn swaying and said with a smile: "You look so good today!" ”

"You've got enough!" Qiu Yulan didn't appreciate it, and knocked on his shoulder with a fan and shouted, "Even if you don't see him for a few days, is it so urgent?" Today is the banquet of Halloween, Meng Tao still shouted to me in front of Sister Zhuang and Sister Xin, and Sister Zhuang laughed at me at that time, and I also said that I came out to pick flowers, and it has nothing to do with you - it's strange not to give them a joke when I turn around! ”

"They were just kidding...... Whoever said you back, I'll give you a theory! Jiang Yashuang took her hand and coaxed, "If you don't see each other for a day, can I miss you?" ”

Qiu Yulan snorted: "Who wants to listen to your quibbles!" "I just want to go back," otherwise people will see it, and they don't know how to talk about it! I just don't care what those people say, and I have to think about how my brother will punish me if he finds out! ”

Seeing this, Jiang Yashuang hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "There is a reason!" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi?" Qiu Yulan said suspiciously, "You have seen a needle!" ”

Jiang Yashuang was stunned when she heard this: "What's wrong with His Royal Highness King Qi?" ”

"Then why did you call me out?" Autumn was surprised.

Jiang Yashuang looked around and pointed to his cheek.

Qiu Yulan didn't say a word, lifted the skirt and stepped on his instep!

“…… Well, I say! But don't be angry when you hear it...... "I didn't take advantage of it, but I cleaned it up, and Jiang Yashuang said depressedly, "It's that my seventeenth sister is about to get married, and my cousin Tao will soon be released with her husband, so ...... My third aunt came forward to tell my grandmother, and my grandmother had to promise to let you stay at the table for a short time. ”

Qiu Yulan was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but be furious: "Jiang Qisheng and Tao Peibin don't want to see me, so I want to avoid it?!" Why! ”
