Flower viewing feast
It is the summer when the flowers are in full bloom, the queen set up a banquet, and invited the daughters of civil and military officials to enjoy the flowers, although the Lin family said that there were many daughters, the eldest sister fought in all directions, the second sister was seriously ill, and the fourth child sought medical treatment in the distant snowy region.
"It's a flower-viewing banquet, but it's better to say it's a concubine banquet." Lin Mengming threw aside the invitation list and continued to look through the books in his hand, the list was not a noble lady, it was those princes, and I don't know how many pairs they could form tomorrow.
Sure enough, the ladies appeared in makeup and gestures, as if they had been carefully designed. She was the only one standing aside, as if she had come to enjoy the flowers.
After the ladies arrived, the queen was helped by several amiable ladies around her, and she was very happy. Lin Mingming walked to the side, far away from the queen, for fear of unnecessary trouble. She stood on the top of the steps, her fingers caressing the unopened buds, looking at it, and then she was distracted, her hand hanging in the air, and she didn't notice that someone was already coming next to her. The man stood beside her, and saw that she was wearing a pale apricot dress, her hair was tied up with a very ordinary hairpin, and a few strands of broken hair were fluttering in the wind, which was very beautiful.
The man took a few steps forward, and there was a sound of scattered stones colliding under his feet, Lin Mengming came back to his senses, looked at the man, and saluted.
"Girl... But Lin Shangshu's daughter? He spoke, and the male voice was bright.
"Yes, the third daughter of the Lin family, Lin Mengming, polite." I had never seen him in the palace, Lin Mingming didn't know if he was the prince or the son of a noble family, so she simply asked: "Dare to ask who you are..."
The man chuckled: "Just call me a sincere son, the name is not a big deal, we are also equals, Miss Mengming."
A subtle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she nodded: "Okay, when I see you in the future, I will call you: Earnest, you can also call me at will, and the name is not a big deal, right?" The two looked at each other and smiled, in this huge palace, it is a blessing to meet such a frank person. Before he could talk for long, he was in a hurry to leave, "Wilt, let's not talk about it first, I have to go first, otherwise I won't be able to leave for a while." Chen pleaded. Lin Meng bowed his head, watched him leave, and returned to the crowd, only to hear the queen angry: "The fifth child didn't come?!" It seems that on weekdays, the experience is not enough, and this time when I came back from the wasteland, I still didn't know the severity. ”
Unconsciously, it was noon, and when he entered the palace, he saw the shadow of Chen Resentment, who was sitting on the side of the main seat, leisurely sipping tea, with a bleak expression, and the meaning of the indescribable was unclear. "Complaining, the queen mother heard that you were not satisfied with the last concubine selection, as long as you open your mouth this time, the queen mother will make the decision for you." The queen was extremely majestic and gave this precious son a lot of face.
In an instant, his gaze made people shudder. "According to Erchen, these women are not as good as Lin Mengming." When the words fell, her body trembled violently, a great irony. Chen Yan added: "Oh, didn't the fifth child say that he was going to choose a concubine?" Why don't you see him? If he had seen Lin Mingming, he might have looked at him twice more than me. Lao Wu had just returned from the wasteland, and his eyes were cloudy. There was a lot of chatter, and she was the only one who sat quietly in the soft chair and hung high as if it had nothing to do with her.
"Thank you for the second prince's comment, Meng Meng is full of gratitude, since today, I can see that the second prince has no intention of me, so I also implore the queen mother to break off my hasty marriage contract with the second prince." She knelt down and kowtowed, waiting for the queen to speak, but what she waited for was a sentence from the queen's heart: "Miss Meng's frankness, the mourning family appreciates it very much, but this is the decision of the saint, and the mourning family cannot interfere." Lin Mingming sneered, and she didn't know who shouted just now: The queen mother is the master for you.
Good one to call the shots.
She stood up and sat back in her soft chair, her eyes drooping with a little invisible sarcasm and mockery. Since she sat down again, she didn't say anything more, just thinking about her own business, thinking about how to break the engagement next time. After the flower-viewing feast, everything is back to normal.
