When Hua Banxia woke up again, she heard the sound of girls gossiping in the yard, and the more she talked, the more intense it became. Did she just sleep for a few minutes? No, it's a lot darker inside than before, and it's obviously dark outside.

After getting up and fumbling to light the lamp, it took a long summer to tidy up the clothes, open the door and go out.

But as soon as the door opened, the gossiping female voices outside stopped, and the other five ladies who lived in this courtyard all looked at Hua Banxia with unknown emotions on their faces.

Hua Banxia knew that they didn't have a good impression of her, and it just so happened that she didn't want to pay attention to them, ignoring their scrutinizing eyes, she walked down the stairs and wanted to go out to find food, she was hungry.

But before she had taken a few steps, the men stopped in front of her, blocking her path. After all, the courtyard is a big courtyard, Hua Banxia didn't want to pay too much attention to it, and moved to the side to leave, but was stopped by them again.

"What's wrong with you?" Hua Banxia asked patiently with a cold face.

But those people didn't answer her question directly, but chatted to themselves, "Ouch, who do you say this is, why will she attend the Wenwu Tournament tomorrow with Sister Jiang!" ”

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl glanced at Hua Banxia, and said with disdain in her mouth, when she talked about that "Sister Jiang", she turned her flattering face and looked at the person standing in the middle of the five.

Presumably the woman in the middle is the "Sister Jiang" she just heard, it seems that this surname Jiang does look a little better than the other four, but it is not amazing.

Hua Banxia sorted out some information about the surname Jiang in her mind, and soon found it. Counting from top to bottom, isn't the Zhenguo Gong of the dynasty surnamed Jiang?

The one in front of me who guessed correctly should be the little lady of Jiang Mansion - Jiang Yiqing. There are two young ladies in the Jiang Mansion, and the other is Jiang Yiqing's sister Jiang Yichu, who married into the palace two years ago and became a concubine.

However, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl just now seemed to mention something "Wenwu Competition", what is that? Why did she participate?

"Feilan, Hugh is talking nonsense, the flower girl looks like this, presumably this piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is also proficient in everything", Jiang Yiqing said kindly.

"I don't know which academy and which gentleman did you inherit from the flower girl?" She continued to ask curiously, her gentle eyes revealing anticipation.

"You're talking to me?" It's been a day since they entered the palace together, and no one has taken the initiative to talk to her, which makes Hua Banxia a little unconvinced.

Jiang Yiqing smiled softly, covering his mouth with his sleeve, only revealing his squinted eyes, "The flower girl is really funny when she speaks, there are only six of us in this courtyard, and we are not surnamed Hua."

That makes sense, but how do they know her name?

Hua Banxia's puzzled look was seen by Jiang Yiqing, "That's the case, Hua Girl, just now Gonggong Liu came to announce the list of attendees of tomorrow's cultural and martial arts competition, only me and Hua Girl have the opportunity to participate in this courtyard, and the emperor asked us to prepare well."

So that's the case, so when Father-in-law Liu came over just now, why didn't anyone tell her to get up? Hua Banxia looked at the people in the courtyard, no wonder, there was not a single palace maid and eunuch, everyone entered the palace with their own people, and the palace maids and eunuchs were all people in the palace, who dared to use them casually? This is also to prevent those who have a heart from bribing the subordinates in the palace to do other things.

Well, since she didn't wake her up, it means that she didn't come to announce the holy decree, or came to spread the word, it's good that she knows, "Thank you Miss Jiang for informing me."

After saying that, they shouldn't have any other reason to stop her anymore, Hua Banxia moved the place again to walk out of the courtyard gate.

"Hey, how does the flower girl know that my surname is Jiang?" Jiang Yiqing also wanted to talk about Hua Banxia's details, and she didn't want to let her go away so easily, at least she wanted to know whose name she came from.

Hua Banxia, who was pulled next door, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, why are these women so annoying!

"Hehe, who doesn't know the name of the Zhenguo Mansion, why is Miss Jiang so modest!" Hua Banxia turned her head and sneered.

Jiang Yiqing was frightened by Hua Banxia's eyes, stiffly put down the hand that was holding Hua Banxia's arm, and said with some embarrassment, "Where are you going?" If you don't like it, the flower girl can come to my room and prepare for the game with me."

Who the hell is she, how dare she look at her with such eyes, doesn't she know that she is the most favored little lady in the Zhenguo Mansion? Even Shen Feilan of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu had to scold her, what kind of identity is she!

Jiang Yiqing endured it, her face was still frightened and pitiful, but in her heart, she couldn't wait to spend half a summer.

It's a pity that her poor Chu Chu is useful, in front of Hua Banxia, an old goblin who has traveled through thousands of years, she can only make Hua Banxia sympathize with her, which is too self-conscious.

"I'll go find something to eat, Miss Jiang should prepare it herself, and behave well tomorrow", Hua Banxia refused, she was starving to death now, and besides, she didn't plan to play tomorrow at all, so she didn't need to prepare.

"Flower girl, ......it's good to let the next person prepare the food", Jiang Yiqing didn't understand what it meant to let her behave well in Banxia? Do you think she will behave badly?

Hua Banxia didn't look back and walked away directly.

"Sister Jiang, look at her, how dare she do this to you!" Shen Feilan stomped her little feet dissatisfied, showing everywhere that she didn't like this Hua Banxia very much.

It didn't take a few words, and it took half a summer to make Jiang Yiqing unable to get off the stage twice, although she was angry, she couldn't show it, she couldn't ruin her empathetic and beautiful appearance.

"The flower girl didn't bring a maid with her, and I blame me for saying the wrong thing just now, which embarrassed the flower girl", Jiang Yiqing said deliberately, on the one hand, she took the responsibility on herself, and she shouldn't mention asking her subordinates to help her prepare food. On the other hand, it makes everyone feel that she can't even afford to use a maid, and her identity can be seen to be very low.

"Sister Jiang, you are just too kind, she still doesn't appreciate it if you treat her so well, that Hua Banxia should go and find something to eat by herself", no, isn't this young Shen Feilan just eating her set?

"Okay, it's cold at night, let's go in quickly", Jiang Yiqing persuaded him.

After several people went back to the house, Jiang Yiqing ordered the maids around him to go out, it was so late, they should rest. But Jiang Yiqing still drove the maids around her into the yard.

The maid beside her seemed to be used to it, silently walking away, automatically blocking some discordant sounds.

Jiang Yiqing is angry, if she doesn't let out the anger in her heart, she won't be able to laugh tonight, or even tomorrow, and she can't ruin her image because of this.

In the room, she folded the pillow on the wall, held it in one hand, and clenched her fist with the other, clenched her gums tightly, and sprinkled her breath on the pillow with one fist.

And Hua Banxia, naturally, is in vain, the dinner in the palace has long been over, except for the master in the palace, no one can order the kitchen to cook and eat at will.

I still want to be able to taste the food cooked by the palace chef and taste the authentic palace food, but even a steamed bun is a luxury. Fortunately, Hua Banxia is used to being hungry, so I will go back to the house and eat some junk food in the space.

The hungry Hua Banxia is particularly easy to wake up, and she wakes up at the slightest movement in the yard. I can't miss my father-in-law's notice and dinner like I did last night.

The other five girls in the courtyard dressed up before they all set off to the imperial garden where the civil and martial arts tournament was held, in order not to be particularly conspicuous, Hua Banxia could only follow them.

The Imperial Garden has been divided into five ranges, the people who came from the four countries to participate or watch the game are all sitting together, and the upper position is the place where the Emperor and the Queen Mother of Yunguo, as well as some concubines, do not participate in the competition, but only serve as spectators.

There are many people in Yunguo, from the ministers of the imperial court to the sons of daughters, sitting in several rows, but fortunately, the place in this imperial garden is big enough, and hundreds of people are not too crowded to sit up.

Except for the incumbent officials and ministers of the court, who can sit in the front rows with the princes, the rest of the family members sit in the back. Like Hua Banxia, who has no background, he was still arranged behind the minister and in a row with several ladies.

Even the daughters of important court ministers like You Shuyu and Jiang Yiqing don't have the honor to sit so far in front, how can she not attract attention.

Yun Zheng has experienced the competition between Hua Banxia and Ling Muci, and this time Ling Muci also sat in the front row. Ling Muci can win two games, and presumably she will not be inferior to others.

"Sister Jiang, who the hell is she, how can she sit in that position!" Shen Feilan secretly approached Jiang Yiqing and asked puzzled.

Hua Banxia's identity, Jiang Yiqing sent someone to investigate overnight last night, thinking of her such an unbearable identity, but she could still enter the palace, not only entered the palace but also lived in the same courtyard with her, and now she is sitting in the front row, why is she!

"The flower girl is from Nancheng, although she is poor from a peasant family, but it will not be a simple person to be able to enter the palace to participate in the ceremony, let's not talk about it", Jiang Yiqing still kindly said good things to Hua Banxia.

"What! That Hua Banxia is actually a girl from a farmer's house! Shen Feilan exclaimed incredulously.

Jiang Yiqing saw Shen Feilan's reaction, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose slightly, this is the reaction she wants. This Shen Feilan likes to talk everywhere, so it's right for her to hear it.

"Shhh, be quiet, the flower girl doesn't want to have such a background, don't let others know", Jiang Yiqing pretended to persuade Shen Feilan.

But Shen Feilan didn't listen to it at all, and when she got such a powerful news, of course she couldn't wait to share it with the people around her.

Sure enough, it took less than a stick of incense, and among the family members in the back row, whether it was Mrs. Decree or those sons and daughters-in-law, none of them didn't know that Hua Banxia was from the countryside, and everyone looked at her differently.
