Chapter 157: Hold it to the sky

Jiang Yingning went back and sat down, the look on her face was obviously a lot happier.

None of the people present are stupid, they know more or less about the things in the palace, and they are all a little puzzled when they see Jiang Yingning and the second prince so close.

But no one dares to ask these things clearly.

Jiang Yingning deliberately glanced at Shangguan Wanru again, as if she was confirming her words that day all the time.

Shangguan Wanru pulled the corners of his mouth with a wry smile.

If there were doubts before, then at this time, she really believed it completely.

She can't marry Jiang Ruiqing, if she wants to marry, she will marry Yan Moxuan.

Shangguan Wanru quickly made up her mind, and directly regarded Jiang Yingning as a rival in love.

Important guests arrived, and soon, the banquet began.

A dazzling array of flower delicacies were served like water, and everyone immediately became lively again.

Everyone was eating delicious food while talking and laughing.

Pan Qiaoxi carefully wrote down Jiang Yingning's favorite food next to him, and prepared to learn to cook it for Jiang Yingning after he went back.

The people in charge of organizing the cherry blossom viewing banquet also prepared a variety of programs, which were wonderful.

After about an hour, everyone had almost finished eating, and the main event finally came.

I saw that the person in charge of presiding over the flower-viewing banquet this year stepped forward to the stage and said loudly, "Welcome to all young masters and young ladies once again to the flower-viewing banquet." ”

"Isn't that the Bright Moon Prince?" Bai Ling's eyes were sharp, and he immediately recognized the person on the high platform.

Jiang Yingning nodded, but she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.

Lu Ming continued, "Don't talk nonsense, there will be some interactive activities to help the flower viewing banquet every year, and I also invite Miss Extraordinaire and Young Master to enjoy their faces." ”

"Okay." Everyone in the audience applauded and cheered for their face.

"This year, we made an exception and put the activities on both sides together, a total of five, and everyone was lively together."

When the people heard this, they cheered again, obviously very fond of the change.

Lu Ming then announced, "The first program, let the young masters come to warm up the scene first." ”

I saw a person holding a wooden cylinder with dozens of wooden sticks in it, and different flowers were written under the sticks.

The person who draws the lot should immediately recite the verse about the flower on the stick.

Soon, five or six teenagers took the stage, including Jiang Ruixiang.

Seeing this, Su Miaoling immediately became nervous, and looked at Jiang Ruixiang with big eyes without blinking, for fear that he would not be able to carry it.

Jiang Yingning smiled and shook her head, but she was not worried at all.

As far as she knows, Jiang Ruixiang was sick and bedridden for a few years, but he read a lot of books, which was not difficult for him.

Sure enough, after a few rounds, Jiang Ruixiang really won to the end.

Su Miaoling stood up directly excitedly, "Brother Ruixiang is so good, so good!" ”

Jiang Yingning and the others immediately laughed.

Ban Yinrong also teased Su Miaoling, "Sister Miaoling, be a little more restrained, you haven't married yet." ”

Su Miaoling suddenly sat down with a red face, and muttered in a low voice, "Sooner or later." ”

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Jiang Ruixiang won a piece of transparent phoenix jade, he took the jade and gave it directly to Su Miaoling.

This is also the custom of the flower viewing feast, where the boy wins a gift and gives it to the girl of his choice.

If the girl accepts, the matter between the two will basically be done, and they will also be blessed and blessed by the god of flowers.

Su Miaoling happily accepted Fengyu and played with it in her hand for a while before taking it into her arms, her face full of the happiness of a little girl.

Soon, Lu Ming announced that the second show began.

"Now let's invite you ladies to appreciate your faces, let us see your fragrant dance."

It turned out that in the second program, the participating ladies were required to dance on the spot according to the musician's improvisation.

The dance must be matched with the music, and there must be flower elements, and there are special dancers on the scene to evaluate and score.

When all the young ladies heard this, they were all interested and said that it was too difficult.

At this time, Liu Mianmian at the next table was the first to stand up and said softly, "Mianmian is not talented, I am willing to give it a try." ”

"Okay." The young masters on the opposite side immediately applauded.

Then, Su Miaoling also stood up, "I'll try it too, if I win, I'll also give Brother Ruixiang a gift." ”

Jiang Yingning, who provoked Jiang Yingning, laughed again.

"Is there anyone else going to attend?"

Lu Ming then asked, in fact, there were two people who were willing to participate, and he was already glad.

I don't know who came up with the bad idea, and it was difficult for these noble girls to come up with such a difficult question.

It's okay to improvise and dance, but it is not easy to incorporate the elements of flowers and make people see it.

Seeing that no one stood up, Leng Qingqiu suddenly spoke, "Jiang Yingning, you can also participate." ”

Everyone immediately looked at Jiang Yingning with some sympathy, and was directly named by the princess, it's too miserable.

Pan Qiaoxi was a little angry, and said in a low voice, "Sister Yingning, I'll go for you." ”

She is actually not very good at dancing, but she has never seen Jiang Yingning dance, so she doesn't want Jiang Yingning to make a fool of herself.

Jiang Yingning shook her head with a smile and stood up by herself, "Since the princess has spoken, Yingning is not easy to refuse." ”

She generously agreed.

Leng Qingqiu hooked her lips, according to Liu Mianmian, Jiang Yingning has never danced, and she will definitely lose an adult today.

She smiled and said to the other officials' wives, "Ying Ning is the concubine of the Hou Mansion after all, and her dancing should be good, everyone has a good eye today." ”

Everyone smiled and nodded.

Mrs. Ji took the initiative to speak, "Miss Ying Ning was born beautiful, and in another year or two, she will definitely be the first beauty in Kyoto." ”

Obviously, she didn't know that Leng Qingqiu was dissatisfied with Jiang Yingning, and thought that she deliberately gave Jiang Yingning a chance to perform.

Mrs. Wang on the side was obviously much smarter than her, and immediately smiled, "Being good-looking is not necessarily a good thing." ”

She paid attention to Leng Qingqiu's expression, and when she saw that Leng Qingqiu had a little more smile on her face, she knew that she was right.

"I'm more optimistic about Liu Mianmian, although she is a cousin, she has courage, and her appearance is no worse than Jiang Yingning, and her temperament may be more secure."

Leng Qingqiu nodded approvingly, "I'm surprised that she dared to stand up today." ”

Mrs. Ji was not stupid, and immediately understood something.

She immediately followed and said, "Miss Mianmian dares to take the initiative to stand up, she must be confident that she can win." ”

The others also nodded in agreement, and before the game began, they had already lifted Liu Mianmian to the sky.

"Look." Leng Qingqiu smiled at the corner of his mouth, very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

Soon, the game began, and the first person to play was Su Miaoling.

She changed into a bright yellow water-sleeved skirt, her little face was a little nervous, and she slowly saluted everyone on stage.

Jiang Ruixiang walked to the side of the stage and looked at her, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, let's dance as much as you want." ”

"Yes." Su Miaoling nodded.

The musician began to play, the music was very soothing, and Su Miaoling began to dance slowly.

At first, she was a little nervous and couldn't let go of her movements.

But it soon got better, and the dance was very light and beautiful.

The music stopped, and her movements stopped, looking at everyone a little ignorantly, waiting for everyone to say what flowers her dance was related to.

"Is it an azalea?" Someone guessed aloud.

Su Miaoling shook her head.

"Chrysanthemum?"

She shook her head again, she knew she had lost and no one could have guessed.

At this time, Jiang Ruixiang, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
