Birthday feast. General's Palace

As the sun first rose, the eastern sky was getting brighter and brighter by the sun, and General Jiang's mansion began to get busy early.

Today is the general's birthday, so early in the morning, the servants of the general's mansion began to prepare various things about the birthday banquet, of course, in addition to the busy minions, the masters naturally have their own tasks.

General Bai is a famous general, and his status in the court is naturally very important, every year when he celebrates his birthday, he will usher in the congratulations of hundreds of officials, and the emperor will also send people to send congratulatory gifts, and go to the banquet in person in the evening.

However, this year's emperor didn't have time to rush back because he went to the north, but because of General Bai's outstanding military achievements, in order to show the importance of the imperial court to General Bai, the emperor specially sent the crown prince Feng Junhua to congratulate him on his birthday before his birthday.

Jiang Ruomei took her sister's head rope and shouted while chasing her sister: "You crazy girl, don't run around, don't forget that today is my father's birthday, hurry up and come over to dress up well, don't bump into the guests." ”

Jiang Weiyang ignored the words of his sister behind him, still ran forward, and said, "No, I still have to go to my mother's place to ask for candy, don't delay me." ”

The two sisters ran all the way until they passed through the corridor, and a big hand suddenly stretched out from the front, holding Jiang Weiyang, who was running in front, in his arms, and said, "I heard you two sisters shouting from a long distance, what is this going to do?"

Jiang Weiyang looked up and saw the person coming, smiled and stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his neck, and said, "Daddy, just now my sister asked me to comb my hair and said that I was going to congratulate my father on his birthday." ”

The man laughed when he heard this, looked down at Jiang Ruomei with a smile, and said, "It's better that you are more sensible, but you are running in the corridor like this, in case you fall, it is very dangerous." ”

As he was talking, the housekeeper hurriedly walked over and said something in his ear, General Bai's expression became serious, he put down Jiang Weiyang, and said to the nurse who followed the two sisters: "Hurry up and take the two young ladies to change clothes, the prince is here to deliver the decree, and he will go to the front hall to receive the decree in a while." ”

When the prince appeared in front of General Jiang's mansion with the holy decree, General Bai received the report as soon as possible, so he hurriedly gathered everyone in the family to come to receive the decree.

Among these people, naturally, the Jiang Ruomei sisters who have just changed into new clothes are included.

And this time is the first time that the Jiang Ruomei sisters have seen the prince Fengjunhua, who is still a teenager.

After reading the holy decree, the young prince held the holy decree in his hand, smiled at the people kneeling on the ground and said: "General Bai, I came today to celebrate General Bai's birthday on behalf of my father, and now that the holy decree has been received, I will ask General Bai to get up." ”

After listening to the prince's words, General Bai led his family to get up, and after receiving the holy decree, he said respectfully to the prince:

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please take a seat."

Although Feng Junhua is still a teenager, he has grown up in the royal family over the years and has been baptized by many things, and the whole person has an image of not being angry and arrogant, and after listening to General Bai's invitation, he nodded and walked into the hall with General Bai.

Originally, Jiang Ruomei and the two sisters should have walked into the hall together with the crowd, but Jiang Weiyang quietly pulled her sleeve behind her, and slowly walked slower and slower, and was left behind.

"Sister, you see that the brother who came to deliver the holy decree is very handsome, is it okay to marry him when you grow up" Jiang Weiyang pulled Jiang Ruomei and whispered after Feng Junhua and the others left.

Jiang Ruomei, who was a few years older, shook her head with a wry smile and said to her naïve sister: "Do you know who that brother is, you must not say such nonsense in the future, such a statement will not only be laughed at, but also attract the disaster of killing your head." ”

Jiang Weiyang didn't understand why Jiang Ruomei told herself like this, but said to herself: "If my sister really doesn't like this brother, I will marry him when I grow up." ”

Jiang Ruomei was really helpless about her sister, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, it's up to you, but if you want to marry that brother, you need to be more thoughtful, otherwise you will be killed by others before you marry him." ”

"What is a long-hearted eye, why would I be killed by others" The young Jiang Weiyang didn't understand what his sister said at all, so he asked again and again.

Jiang Ruomei originally wanted to give her sister a detailed answer, but after thinking about it, the age difference between the prince and her sister is still relatively large, and when the prince reaches the age of marriage, her sister is still young, and it is impossible to marry her sister at all.

"Ruomei, Ruoxue, what are you two hiding behind, why don't you hurry up and play with the nurse" General Bai's voice sounded in the distance, and the two sisters hurriedly ran away.

Jiang Ruomei suddenly turned around halfway through the run, glanced in the direction of the hall, and happened to see the young man in yellow clothes talking to his father.

Suddenly, a smile bloomed on his face, this smile made Jiang Ruomei stunned, and she stopped for a while, but her young sister pulled her and continued to leave.

Flower Dynasty Festival 8226;; Imperial

Feng Junhua has never been interested in the flower viewing banquet held by the Queen Mother, but every year the Queen Mother will call the ministers and young unmarried men and women of the imperial relatives to participate, and the name is to let the young people know more, but the daily life in the palace is too boring and boring, so the old people also learn to be matchmakers to have fun.

This year is the third time Feng Junhua has received such an invitation, and he originally wanted to find an excuse to turn it down, but Feng Junli told him with a cynical expression that this year was appointed by the emperor, and a future crown princess must be selected from among the women attending the banquet, and as the crown prince, he naturally cannot be absent. "Sister, why couldn't I participate in the flower viewing banquet of the Flower Dynasty Festival before" Jiang Weiyang wore a tender green dress and a goose-yellow blouse cover, which looked more lively and full of vitality.

The two sisters were following the eunuch to the Imperial Garden to participate in the flower viewing banquet, because they met Feng Junli's horse on the way and were startled and broke the sedan chair, so the trip was delayed.

"You idiot, we're all late now, and there's still time to grind, stop talking, hurry up, and quietly sit down while everyone is starting to eat and drink."

Jiang Ruomei was a little anxious, I heard that the Queen Mother attached great importance to the flower-viewing banquet this time, and even many young ladies who had not yet reached the marriageable age were invited, so she didn't want to have any accidents, otherwise tomorrow the capital and even the whole world would know about the embarrassment of the two sisters of the Jiang family being late for the flower-viewing banquet.

Jiang Ruomei did not allow such a thing to happen at all, since she was a child, her father taught herself that no matter what she does, she must look at the face of the Jiang family, and she must not do anything that is embarrassing.

Especially this time, because it was the invitation of the Queen Mother, everyone was very cautious, and the two sisters were wearing new clothes cut by Jixiang Xiuzhuang and after some careful dressing, they looked even more beautiful.

When they came to the banquet, they thought that the banquet had already begun and they could sneak in while they were in chaos, but to Jiang Ruomei's surprise, the flower-viewing banquet had not started yet.

I saw that everyone was sitting neatly, and when they heard the commotion at the door, everyone turned their eyes to the direction of the door, and they all looked at the Jiang family sisters who were belated.

Jiang Ruomei looked at the scene in front of her, and thought to herself in her heart: "This is terrible, we are actually late for the flower viewing banquet, and we are seen by so many people, I am afraid that the face of the Jiang family will be ridiculed." ”

Unlike Jiang Ruomei's nervousness, Jiang Weiyang had a coquettish smile on her face, this was the first time she had participated in such a big banquet, and she couldn't help but feel very curious.

"These two are the daughters of the Jiang family" The Queen Mother, who was sitting on the main seat, couldn't help but nod when she saw the two people who were led in by the eunuch, and asked with a smile.

Jiang Ruomei heard this, and hurriedly pulled Jiang Weiyang forward, made a blessing to the Queen Mother, and then knelt down, knocked her head on the ground and said:

"Returning to the Queen Mother, the two of us are the daughters of General Bai, my name is Jiang Ruomei, this is my sister Jiang Weiyang, because there are some things delayed on the road, so I am late, and I ask the Queen Mother to surrender."

The Queen Mother had already received the news sent by Feng Junli, so she deliberately opened the banquet later to see how the Jiang family sisters looked.

And the queen mother's impression of Jiang Ruomei has always been excellent, but when I was chatting, I heard that Jiang Ruomei's sister Jiang Weiyang was even more beautiful, so she was specially invited this year.

Feng Junhua sat beside the Queen Mother, watching the Queen Mother bow her head at the late Jiang family sisters, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, could it be that the Queen Mother already had a candidate for the crown princess

Looking at the two sisters of the Jiang family, it turned out to be two completely different temperaments, an older one looked cold, although she was late, she was polite, and she was a calm and polite girl at first glance.

And the other one is very beautiful, maybe because of his young age, and a little childish, a pair of eyes looking around, full of curiosity, but also cute and cute.

The Queen Mother greeted the Jiang sisters a few words and let them sit down, and then announced the official start of the flower-viewing banquet, and the banquet became lively for a while.

"Jun Ye, what do you think of this Jiang family sister" The Queen Mother looked at Feng Junhua and quietly pointed to the sisters' seats and asked.

Jun Ye immediately confirmed the guess in his heart, but he didn't know who the Queen Mother liked more, so he just replied with a smile: "Back to the emperor's grandmother, the Jiang family sisters are outstanding, each with different appearances, one is calm and self-controlled, and the other is delicate and sweet. ”

The Queen Mother nodded, looked at Feng Junhua and said: "You can see clearly, this delicate and sweet is better in terms of beauty, but if you want to match you as the crown princess, you still have to be more stable." ”

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Feng Junhua understood the Queen Mother's choice, so he nodded and stopped talking, but some careful thoughts rose in his heart.

The banquet is a poetry meeting, in order to try out the talents of these daughters, the queen mother takes flowers as the theme, so that everyone can play freely to see whose poems are the best.
