In the afternoon of the same day, the Ye family received a post from Princess Hongchang, explaining the time and place of the competition with foreign girls on the post, the time is the Twelve Flowers Festival in February, and the location is in the Chunfang Garden in the Imperial Garden, now it is February, the weather is warming, and some flowers and plants in the Chunfang Garden have recovered, although the weather is still precipitous, but the scenery is not bad. In fact, this banquet should have been held in Yunyaotai, but unfortunately although Yunyaotai was not affected by the fire, Nishang Pavilion was still a miasma, so the competition had to be changed to the imperial garden.

At the end of the post, a few words from Princess Hongchang were attached, which indicated the theme of this competition: wind and snow. According to Princess Hongchang's meaning, it seems that it is best to let the four of them get together to discuss countermeasures and how to understand the theme of the competition, but the other three people all refused at the same time as they received the post, so the messenger could only helplessly inform Ye Tanghua of the situation.

Ye Tanghua didn't feel surprised, after all, the four of them really looked down on each other, let them get together and discuss happily, it was better to kill her with a knife.

At this time, Ye Mu's heart was worried, and he knew that there was no turning back when he opened the bow, so he came over every day to urge Ye Tanghua to practice calligraphy diligently, in fact, Ye Tanghua would learn various skills with Silu every day, and recently she was still learning light skills with Mofu, but let Ye Mu's make such a stir, she could only put everything else aside first, and really practice calligraphy one by one.

It is precisely because of Ye Mu's indefatigable indevoge that the Flowing Frost Pavilion has been extraordinarily calm at night these days, and Feng Jiuge and Qi Minzhi, who used to like to sneak in at night, can only stop fighting, but Qi Yu heard about it, and collected a lot of celebrity calligraphy and paintings from the palace, and all the little eunuchs sent them, which surprised Ye Mu's and made Ye Tanghua very helpless.

Early in the morning of the Flower Dynasty Festival, four carriages appeared at the gate of the palace one after another, because Nanyan is the host, so the four ladies need to enter the palace a little earlier, and then attend the banquet with the emperor and queen.

Just yesterday, the palace gave the four people to wear the clothes to wear today to bring jewelry, because the four of them today carry the national prestige of Nanyan, so the clothes and ornaments can not be sloppy at all, all of them are the best weavers and embroiderers in the palace, and the selection of materials is extremely luxurious.

The first to get out of the carriage was He Fang, because she was the daughter of a general, the weaving of the clothes designed for her deliberately highlighted a heroic feeling for her in the clothing, I saw that she was wearing a silver-red narrow-sleeved shirt, embroidered with a few residual clouds, the clouds were like ochre and yellow, lined with her dark dark red top, quite a little blood-colored remnant sun, the sad and majestic meaning of the wind and clouds, and her bottom was an autumn fragrance mopping moon skirt, on the skirt, with very fine gold and silver thread twisted into a strand, embroidered an ancient city on the top, and embroidered the smoke cloud with silver thread, when the whole skirt is unfolded, it looks particularly magnificent, and her cloak is sewn with tiger skin, decorated with wolf hair, February is actually not very cold, this cloak is still more decorative, adding a little more killing to He Fang.

Followed by the second one who got out of the carriage was Mu Qianlan, because she was responsible for the art of painting, the weaving of the clothes designed for her tried her best to render her ethereal and smart, her upper body was a rain over the sky and a hundred butterflies wearing flowers and soft smoke Luo Chun shirt, and the lower body was a peach-colored silver thread embroidered cloud water pattern Liuxian skirt, she wore a bun with the clouds, with a pair of white jade bell hairpins on her head, a pair of soft satin shoes on her feet, her demeanor appeared elegant and smart, and the skirt fluttered between the actions, as if surrounded by flowing clouds, and she looked really like a fairy in the painting from a distance.

The third one who walked down was Han Yirou, because she was responsible for the piano competition, and the weaving was determined to highlight her elegance and virtuousness, she was wearing a plain brocade palace dress, covered with a moon-white tulle outside the palace dress, embroidered with crane patterns on it, she held the shawl between her arms, and when the shawl was raised in the wind, it was obvious that the two ends of the shawl were embroidered with strange and powerful plum blossoms. Han Yirou wore a green silk hairpin carved into the shape of a bamboo, and wore a tassel on her forehead, which made her more and more elegant.

The last down is Ye Tanghua, because she is responsible for calligraphy, weaving will deliberately dress her up dignified and solemn, I saw her wearing a snow blue pigment soft satin palace dress, with wide sleeves, embroidered with magnolia patterns, covered with finch gold fur, in the sunlight under the cover of the brilliance, gorgeous and abnormal. Although there are not many patterns in her clothes, they are not simple, but they make people feel gorgeous and dignified. Ye Tanghua has a green silk bun into a Hanyan hibiscus bun, wearing a complete set of green jade jewelry, reflecting a little cinnabar in the center of the eyebrows, which is quite a little red in the green bush.

The four of them had their own merits, and now they let this well-designed clothes line, and they looked stupid at a few little eunuchs who came to greet them.

He Fang glanced up at a few of them, and then looked at the little eunuch impatiently: "It's all here, why don't you lead the way, do you want us to be watched here?" ”

A few little eunuchs woke up like a dream, hurriedly confessed, and led the four of them to Fengyi Palace in front, He Fang walked and walked, then quietly slowed down his pace and walked to Ye Tanghua's side: "I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to the county lord unharmed?" I heard that the county lord has been really prosperous recently, and he will tell his mother for a while, and go to the court for a while, which is really what people can't. ”

"It's easy to say, it's not as good as Miss He's inaction, and her wisdom is foolish." Ye Tanghua glanced at her and said lightly.

He Fang's face turned green, knowing that this was Ye Tanghua secretly scolding her for not having any ability, she couldn't help but hold her breath, and before she could open her mouth to return the mouth, she heard Mu Qianlan on the side say lightly: "When it comes to great wisdom, if you are foolish, who can match you?" Your kung fu of pretending to be confused is really good, the Queen Mother has said it like that, you still refuse to let go, I don't know if you have no fear, or you don't know what to do! ”

Ye Tanghua sighed: "It's not a secret, I'm not fearless, I don't know what to do, I really don't understand, since Sister Qianlan prides herself on you understand too much, why don't you explain to me?" ”

Mu Qianlan was speechless, He Fang gritted her teeth hatefully, and looked at Han Yirou again: "Why didn't Miss Han speak?" Do you disdain to be in the company of us? ”

Han Yirou glanced at her with a cold face, and chuckled, "Where did Miss He start with this?" Yirou knows that she is shallow in learning, and she is not worthy of being with Miss He, so she doesn't dare to interject indiscriminately, why does Miss He think about it? ”

"Hmph, who knows what you think? Maybe at this moment, you still look down on us in your heart! Although He Fang's face was dissatisfied, she was quite surprised in her heart, when she bullied Han Yirou in the women's art test, Han Yirou was clearly cowardly and helpless, why has it only been more than a month, and this girl has begun to refuse to suffer? Could it be that because she was selected to participate in the competition, Han Yirou also began to be proud?

"Zi Fei Fish, I know the joy of fish, Miss He is not me, how do I know what I am thinking? I have already said that there is no malice, if Miss He has to believe it, I can't help it. Han Yirou lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was smiling.

Mu Qianlan's hatred for Han Yirou at this time is not as serious as before, and even has some feelings of sympathy for her, they have also learned all kinds of talents since childhood, and they are only for the position of the crown princess, but they all lost in the hands of Ye Tanghua, a little girl, and now Han Yirou is her third sister-in-law who has not passed the door, and she is also a member of the Mu family's front, so Mu Qianlan helped Han Yirou and said: "Miss Han doesn't speak, Miss He suspects that she looks down on you, Miss Han spoke, You think she has a different heart, how can you take it up? ”

He Fang glanced at Mu Qianlan and sneered, "What reason can I have?" The three of you are related to each other, but I am just here alone, how dare I reason with you? Naturally, you will take up all of this! ”

"Poof, Sister, look, their Central Plains girls are quarreling, Grandma is really right, these Central Plains girls are very scheming, let's be careful." When the four of them were arguing, they suddenly heard the laughter of several girls not far away, and they forgot about the quarrel in surprise, and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw that there were several seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls who spoke, all wearing the clothes of Liao women, and there were many furs on their clothes as decorations, and their green silk was not tied into a bun, but tied into a small braid, and the ends of their hair were decorated with colorful glass beads, which were lively and lively in the sun.

At this time, the Liao girl who spoke saw Ye Tanghua looking at them a few times, not only did she not say bad things about people and was discovered, but she smiled proudly: "Hey, Central Plains girl, your quarrel was discovered by us, aren't you ashamed?" You're so thick-skinned! ”

Ye Tanghua originally didn't want to have an argument with these Liao girls before the competition, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but get angry, and sneered at the moment: "This girl from Xiliao, I am from the Central Plains, I don't understand the rules of your Xiliao, after listening to the girl's words, I want to ask, is there a saying in Xiliao called 'dogs take rats and meddle in things'?" ”

The Xiliao girl widened her eyes and walked over a little angrily: "I have no grievances with you, why do you call me a dog?" Could it be that the girls in the Central Plains can't speak so much? ”

Mu Qianlan glanced at the Xiliao girl: "Then we are as innocent as you, why do you scold us for being thick-skinned?" ”

The Xiliao girl was speechless, and couldn't help but look back at the woman behind her: "Sister, I can't talk about them, you come to help me!" ”

The girl who was called Sister Ah walked over slowly, but she didn't attack Ye Tanghua and them, but looked at her sister first: "Nanli, in the culture of the Central Plains, there is a saying called 'There is a head for injustice, and there is a master for debts', the grievances between them are their business, you shouldn't intervene, so you are not right first, you should apologize." ”

Nanli was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Tanghua, and flattened his mouth a little aggrievedly: "Okay, I know, I can't stand you!" ”
