Chapter 712: At the chrysanthemum feast, go hand in hand
Princess Wantao didn't know what to say, and it happened that Mama came to invite at this time.
"The eighth princess, the prince of the East, is about to have a banquet. The mother said, she will not go to join in the fun, let you and the guests have fun. ”
Princess Wantao stabilized her emotions and restored the dignity of the princess.
"Prince Dongfang, the banquet is set up in the garden, please come with me."
Dongfang Huize nodded, and the two went to the banquet together.
The young ladies who had been waiting in a hurry and had no intention of looking at the flowers finally saw the main owner of today's chrysanthemum banquet and got up to salute.
"Meet Princess Wantao, Prince of the East."
"No courtesy."
The two sat down, and Princess Wantao said some polite words.
"We are the same age, we are all the same age, it is rare to get together to be lively, you don't have to be restrained, just casual."
Chen Dagongzi of the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion immediately complimented:
"I didn't expect Princess Wantao to be so approachable."
Seeing that he was preempted by Chen Dagongzi, Meng Sangongzi of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry also hurriedly interjected.
"Princess Wantao, I came to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet today, I brought a 'Phoenix Zhenyu' and presented it to the princess, I don't know if the princess likes it?"
As he spoke, he beckoned to his entourage, who brought a chrysanthemum and was in full bloom.
The slender petals stretch out in all directions, hooking up at the tail, and the brownish-red and yellow gradients make it look like a phoenix spreading its wings.
It attracted praise from the ladies present.
"I haven't seen such a well-bloomed 'Phoenix Zhenyu', and this one of Meng Sangongzi is the best."
"Yes, it's so beautiful, how did Meng Sangongzi raise it so well?"
Meng Sangongzi glanced at Chen Dagongzi and looked slightly interested.
What's the use of just saying it, or sending flowers to win a woman's heart.
Dongfang Huize glanced at the flower and remembered what Princess Fang Cai Wantao said:
The petals of chrysanthemums are mostly slender, weak willows support the wind, and they are beautiful, but they lack some backbone.
He couldn't help but laugh and lowered his head to take a sip of tea.
This smile made the young ladies who always paid attention to him look at it, and they didn't know how much they were confused.
Princess Wantao also smiled gently, looking harmless to humans and animals, but the words she said were full of lethality:
"'Phoenix Zhenyu' is really a good name. It's just that if you are worthy of the word phoenix, you should be my imperial sister-in-law, the queen mother of Yunxiao Country, how dare Wantao accept this flower? ”
As soon as she said this, the young ladies who were discussing the beautiful flowers immediately shut up.
Meng Sangongzi didn't expect that there would be women who didn't like others to send flowers, and they didn't like to be complimented, so they were a little at a loss, and got up and hugged their fists:
"It's because I'm not thinking about it, I don't mean to offend the queen, and I hope Princess Wantao will forgive me."
This allowed Chen Dagongzi to win back a game and regain his face.
Hehe, patting the horse's ass on the horse's hooves, right?
Meng Sangongzi was thinking, should he kneel down and ask for guilt?
But so many noble sons and ladies are here, if he kneels down and pleads guilty, it will be too faceless, how can he have the face to beg to marry Princess Wantao in the future?
Princess Wantao didn't intend to really embarrass Meng Sangongzi, but just took the opportunity to beat them and let them stop in moderation.
"Flowers are good flowers, then I will dedicate this 'Phoenix Zhenyu' to the imperial sister-in-law for the Ministry of Industry Shangshufu."
She didn't say that she was offering for Meng Sangongzi, a man who was not yet married, what was the matter with offering flowers to the queen's mother?
And it is said that it is a contribution for the Ministry of Works, which is reasonable.
Dongfang Huize is so resourceful, and naturally he also heard the ingenuity in Princess Wantao's words.
not only rejected the gifts of these noble sons, but also convinced. What a smart woman.
Meng Sangongzi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded:
"Princess Wantao is doing things properly, and she will be cautious in her words and deeds in the next day."
Seeing this, the other sons originally planned to give Princess Wantao what they had planned to give, and they all weighed their own things.
I think it's better not to take it out, so as not to be like Meng Sangongzi, and make thankless efforts.
As soon as the sons stopped here, Miss Yang Er of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites got up.
"The prince of the East has come from afar, and the little girl will give you a drink."
The other ladies looked at Miss Yang Er's eyes, and they were all a little intriguing.
Even if it's a toast, it should be toasted by Princess Wantao first, right?
No matter how bad it is, there is still Miss Cao Si, the daughter of the prime minister. Where is her turn to get the daughter of the Ministry of Rites?
Dongfang Huize looked at Princess Wantao.
"Princess Wantao, why don't we have a drink with all the young ladies and gentlemen?"
Princess Wantao nodded with a smile.
"Okay, then let's have a drink together and wash the dust for the prince of the East."
The young ladies and sons all raised their glasses and raised them towards Dongfang Huize.
Miss Yang Er sat down in a daze and drank with the others. It's just that she always feels that the eyes of others look at her with some ridicule.
Miss Cao Si thought for a moment and asked:
"Prince Dongfang, I heard that Dongyi Country has beautiful mountains and rivers, rich materials, and the scenery must be extremely beautiful, right?"
In contrast, Miss Cao Si is much smarter. The words spoken can not only make people notice her, but also not feel that she is deliberately close.
As long as Dongfang Huize should be, she can pick up a sentence: If there is a chance, I really want to go to Dongyi Country to have a look.
That's it.
Who knows, Dongfang Huize should indeed be, but there is still a later story.
"It's not about the abundance of materials, but it's true that the mountains and rivers are beautiful. If there is a chance, Princess Wantao can go to Dongyi Country for a visit, so that I can also do my best to repay the princess's hospitality today. ”
Princess Wantao had a smile even more on her face, and if it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have laughed out loud.
Miss Cao Si asked such a clever question, and Dongfang Huize could also circle back to her without a trace.
is worthy of being praised by the imperial sister-in-law. She actually had a feeling that she was going hand in hand with Dongfang Huize.
"There's going to be a chance."
The smile on Miss Cao Si's face was almost unbearable, it was obviously her beginning, why did she end up with Princess Wantao?
Watching Dongfang Huize and Princess Wantao talking and laughing happily, Miss Cao Si felt that she was simply making clothes for others.
Could it be that the prince of the East has fallen in love with Princess Wantao?
The other sons and ladies also couldn't help but slander, isn't Princess Wantao unwilling to marry Dongyi Kingdom? Why is it so friendly to Oriental Huize?
If Princess Wantao changed her mind, where would they still have a chance? The princess of a country is naturally heavier than the courtiers!
After a flower-viewing banquet, the sons and ladies of all families were in high spirits when they went in, but when they came out, they were all a little depressed.
In the palace, Chu Yunxi listened to Wu Wei's report, his eyes shining.
"Really? Senior brother, did he really invite Wantao to Dongyi Kingdom? ”
Wu Wei nodded.
"Back to the queen, not only that, Princess Wantao also said: There will be a chance."
Chu Yunxi looked sideways at Jun Lingyun, who was consulting the file.
"Lingyun, you said that the two of them, are they affectionate and concubines intended?"
