"Okay, let's not talk about her," Yu Jingrong smiled faintly and pointed to the lotus pond surrounded by flowers and leaves, "It's rare to see this scenery of lotus leaves and lotus flowers reflecting the sun, so let's go around first while the people haven't arrived yet." ”

"I'm not going," Ye Xi deliberately dressed up when he came, worried that the sweat would ruin this hard work, and at the same time, he didn't want to be with this person who obviously had no merits but could make His Royal Highness King Hui look at him differently, and excused, "I'm a little afraid of the heat, and I want to go to the water pavilion to sit first." ”

Yu Jingrong didn't know that she was jealous of herself because of Zhu Changrun's matter, and when she said this, she only thought that her proposal was out of place, looked up at the sky and said, "It's really a little hot outside, then let's go in together." ”

"Okay, okay" Without waiting for Ye Xi to shake his mouth, Ye Chiwan hurriedly answered.

Compared with the large beautiful scenery in the pond, she was obviously more interested in the melon and fruit snacks on the table in the water pavilion, and after speaking, she raised her hand and took Jiang Shu's hand: "Fourth sister, let's go quickly." ”

When she pulled Jiang Shu along the steps on the west side of the Water Pavilion, Zhu Xuanrao and Zheng Qingyuan happened to come in from the other side of the Water Pavilion.

The two of them met at the gate of the Eldest Princess's Mansion in Shouyang, because they had both teased Hou Tingke for Jiang Shu, and this time they came to Hou Tingke's territory, and they felt that they needed to take care of each other, so they came together.

Across the two rows of long seats, seeing Jiang Shu on the opposite side from a distance, Zhu Xuanrao immediately raised her hand and waved at her, but because the distance was a little far, she didn't open her mouth to shout.

Jiang Shu smiled at the two, strode up to meet them, and then chose an adjacent seat to sit down, and greeted him in a low voice.

When the people were almost there, the eldest princess of Shouyang came over with the support of Hou Tingke.

They also came with Zhu Changluo, Zhu Changhao, Zhu Changrun brothers, Princess Zhu Xuanyu of Shouning, Princess Guo Yingyu, Princess Zhu Yaoyuan of Ruian, two brothers Wan Changzuo and Wan Hongzuo, and some high-grade wives.

When the group arrived, whether it was chatting in the water pavilion or wandering among the lotus ponds, they came forward to greet each other.

Some of the ladies and daughters, when they saw the young and handsome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the two princes, even showed a shy face, and quietly took out a small mirror to tidy up their appearance, hoping to leave a deep impression in front of them.

The eldest princess of Shouyang, the eldest princess of Ruian and those wives are all from the past, and when they see their small actions, they naturally understand their little daughter's thoughts, and they can't help but smile softly.

After the ceremony, everyone entered the water pavilion, and after the men and women were seated on the left and right, the eldest princess of Shouyang, who was the host of the banquet, cleared her throat and announced the arrangements for today's lotus banquet

In the morning, we will try our talents, have a banquet at noon, enjoy the lotus in the afternoon, and then set up a banquet in the evening to celebrate the success of the banquet.

Among them, the talent competition project, according to her, is still the same as in previous years, divided into three categories: ritual music, calligraphy and painting, and poetry. The results of the competition are judged by both men and women, and the winner is the one with the most votes. In each competition, the male and female leaders are the first.

The first competition was liturgical music, that is, singing, dancing and musical instruments.

In ancient times, people did not have the concept of women first, and always believed that men were superior to women, and naturally it was up to men who were in high positions to start first.

And some learned men, who have always been high-minded, naturally disdain to sing and dance, except for those who abstain, they all choose elegant musical instruments such as flutes, flutes, qins, and zhengs.

After the performance was completed one by one, after the women's vote, Yu Jinghuan's guqin song Guanglingsan topped the list and became the leader of men's ceremonial music.
