The days passed in an instant, and the day for the Princess Fang’s Banquet of Yuncheng arrived.

On this day, Nangong Yue was pulled up early in the morning. Mrs. Lin was in high spirits and dressed up Nangong Yue carefully with her own hands.

Nangong Yue is wearing a light green dress, with white magnolia flowers embroidered on the wide green border. She has a double bun on her head, and a purple and white crystal bead chain is wrapped around the bun, which makes her small face gleaming and charming. Pretty and cute.

Ms. Lin has been living a good life recently, with a rosy complexion. She put her arm around her daughter's shoulders affectionately and said, "My sister Yue has grown up and become more beautiful. She looks good no matter how she dresses up!"

Huamei also praised: "The girl is beautiful, this dress makes the slave's eyes widen."

Yimei and Queer couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing.

At this time, An Niang led the little maid to prepare breakfast. After Nangong Yue accompanied Lin to have breakfast, she came down to the second door at Lin's earnest instructions.

In the Nangong Mansion, in addition to Nangong Yue, there were also Nangong Cheng, Nangong Lin, Su Qingping and Nangong Sheng attending the Yuncheng Princess Fang Banquet. Naturally, Nangong Yue took her own carriage, while Nangong Cheng, Nangong Lin and Su Qingping took the carriage arranged by the government. The maids and women who accompanied them took another carriage, while Nangong Sheng rode a horse and another He took four guards and set off on the road.

When they arrived in front of Princess Yuncheng's mansion, a maid and a boy immediately led the carriage to the second gate. The coachman gradually slowed down. Baihui raised the curtains and quickly looked outside, only to see a carriage coming. The red wheeled carriage was parked in front of the second door. This red wheeled carriage was slightly different from Nangong Yue's. It had a red cover, red curtains, red wattles, and four-cornered soap edges. At first glance, it was a princess-level carriage.

Baihui looked away and whispered to Nangong Yue: "Three girls, it seems to be Princess Mingyue's carriage."

Nangong Yue responded, but she didn’t care. Anyway, it was just a matter of waiting in the carriage for a while.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a horse neighing outside, followed by a cat meowing loudly, which overlapped with the screams of several maids...

What's going on? Nangong Yue frowned, and simply opened the curtain on the other side slightly, looked out, and saw a fat cat with long white hair jumping out of the car window and bumping into Nangong Yue's arms. Nangong Yue hurriedly hugged her. Lived it.

Following the direction in which the fat cat was running, you could see the red horse pulling the red-wheeled carriage ahead, raising its front hooves and neighing. The coachman accidentally loosened the reins and was unable to control the situation for a moment, and even the carriage was also So it was shaking around, and from time to time a woman's frightened screams could be heard inside.

Seeing this, Nangong Sheng jumped off the horse neatly, strode forward, grabbed the flying reins, then gently stroked the red horse's neck, comforting it with a soft voice: " "Uu——Uu——"

The red horse quickly calmed down, and the sweaty coachman finally breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly: "Master, thank you very much."

After the carriage stopped, a maid in pink jumped out of the carriage, turned to Nangong Shengfu, and said politely and respectfully: "Thank you so much, Mr. Nangong today."

While she was speaking, the curtains on one side of the Zhu Lun Car were slightly opened, and the people inside looked cautiously in the direction of Nangong Sheng.

"No way, it's just a little effort, the girl is too polite." Nangong Sheng smiled, and then led the boy to the front yard.

After watching Nangong Sheng leave, the maid in pink said to a maid from the princess's palace: "What happened to the cat just now? If it hurts the princess, can you afford it?"

The maid did not show any fear, and replied calmly: "This girl, that is the eldest princess's favorite cat. The eldest princess never takes care of it on weekdays. What can we slaves do? . Don’t worry, girl, I will definitely report what happened today to the eldest princess and ask the eldest princess to give an explanation to the princess!"

The maid in pink clothes did not expect that the other party would react like this, and her face turned dark. As Princess Mingyue's maid, when had she ever been treated like this? She was about to get angry when she heard a familiar voice coming from the carriage: "Bihen, forget it, it was just an accident, why should you lose your interest over such a trivial matter. ”

Listening to the voice, it was obviously Mingyue Princess Qu Jiayue, but hearing the content, the maid Bihen's jaw almost dropped. She didn't know when her princess changed her gender.

Of course, Jiayue also has her own considerations for this song. Today is the annual Fang Feast, the day that the eldest princess of Yuncheng attaches most importance to. The stupid cat that caused the trouble just now is the eldest princess’s favorite cat. Let’s talk to the eldest princess. I'm afraid that if I complain about this, I won't be able to do it, and it will also anger the eldest princess! The eldest princess has always been casual. If she really gets angry, she might not receive invitations for the Fang Feast next year, and then she will really become a joke in the capital!

Furthermore, Mr. Nangong just came to help, which was originally a good thing. If he and the eldest princess broke up on bad terms and spread to Mr. Nangong's ears, wouldn't it mean that all the good things turned into bad things?

Qu Jiayue blushed and rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously. After a while, she calmed down her emotions, then she called Bihen over, helped herself out of the carriage, and went to greet the eldest princess of Yuncheng under the leadership of the maid from the princess mansion.

After Princess Mingyue's carriage retreated, several carriages from Nangong Mansion finally started moving again and stopped in front of the second gate. Nangong Yue and others got off the carriages one by one.

Several eyes were focused on the fat cat in Nangong Yue's arms at the same time. A maid from the princess palace stepped forward and said, "See Yaoguang County Master, this is the eldest princess's cat. I don't know if it's okay." Hand it over to a slave?" The maid was originally worried that she would lose the eldest princess's beloved cat, but now she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Nangong Yue naturally agreed and carefully handed the fat cat to the maid.

After the maid took it, she handed it over to another little maid, then she smiled at Nangong Yue and others attentively and said: "Master Yaoguang County, several girls, let the slaves take a few of them to visit Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"I'm annoying the girl!"

Under the guidance of the maid, Nangong Yue and the others enjoyed the scenery of the backyard. The maid also explained it to them from time to time. The princess's palace of Princess Yuncheng is truly extraordinary. Every detail is exquisitely designed, but it is also quiet and elegant, making people full of praise.

In the flower hall, the eldest princess of Yuncheng is wearing a colorful flying-flowered gold fur coat, and her hair is combed into a hibiscus bun. Although she has given birth to three children, she is still as elegant as a young girl. There was also a girl of twelve or thirteen years old sitting on the right side of the eldest princess. She had an oval face, big and bright eyes with slightly raised corners, skin as white as gel, white teeth and red lips, and her black hair was combed into flying styles. Fairy bun, a few plump and round pink pearls are randomly embellished in the hair, making the silk-like hair more soft, shiny and moist. She was wearing a plum-red brocade dress with silver trim on the front, skirt and cuffs. She was covered with a pink gauze dress, which made her look youthful.

Looking at her appearance, she is very similar to Princess Yuncheng. She should obviously be Princess Yuncheng’s only legitimate daughter, Yuan Yuqia, the lord of Liushuang County.

"Meet the eldest princess!" Nangong Yue and the other two bowed respectfully.

"No gifts!" Princess Yuncheng's attitude was friendly, but she still had a royal demeanor.

"See the Lord of Liushuang County."

When it came time to salute Yuan Yuyi, unlike Nangong Yue and others, Nangong Yue only blessed her and called her "Lord of Liushuang County". Yuan Yuyi also stood up and returned the salute, shouting: " Hello, Lord Yaoguang County."

The Princess Yuncheng’s eyes fell on Nangong Yue with great interest, and she asked casually: "Are you the Lord of Yaoguang County that His Majesty has named you?"

"Princess Hui, it's Yaoguang." Nangong Yue took half a step forward and replied gracefully.

The eldest princess of Yuncheng looked Nangong Yue up and down and praised: "Nangong Mansion is indeed worthy of being a famous family." When she said this, Nangong Cheng and Nangong Lin were also honored.

The eldest princess of Yuncheng said a few words to everyone and then left them to play by themselves.

Nangong Yue and the others exited the flower hall, and were led by the maid from the princess mansion to the garden...

The flowers in the garden are in full bloom, and the girls are gathering together in twos and threes to enjoy the flowers and chat. When they talk about their happiness, they will let out clear and melodious laughter from time to time.

Nangong Yue had just entered the garden when someone suddenly called her:

"Sister Cheng, sister Yue."

Nangong Yue looked up and saw Jiang Yixi walking towards her.

"It looks like you from a distance, and it does." Jiang Yixi walked up to them and said with a smile.

"Sister Xi."

After greeting Jiang Yixi, Nangong Cheng introduced Nangong Lin and Su Qingping to her.

Jiang Yixi smiled and nodded politely to them.

Nangong Lin was unwilling to let go of the rare opportunity to make good friends with Jiang Yixi, and spoke to Jiang Yixi warmly: "Sister Xi, have you been to the Princess Yuncheng's banquet before?"

"Been here." Jiang Yixi replied with a smile, and then added, "In previous years, the Fang Feast was held in Yuehua Pavilion, and I think this year will be no exception." She mainly said this to Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue. of.

It was naturally new to Nangong Cheng’s first time attending the feast held by Princess Yuncheng.

Nangong Yue said with a smile: "I heard that Yuehua Pavilion is a good place to admire the moon, and I want to learn a lesson today."

Nangong Lin wanted to ask again, but she heard a surprised cry: "Sister Yue!"

A girl in red walked quickly towards Nangong Yue, accompanied by several girls who were familiar with her, two of whom had visited Nangong Yue's rouge shop.

"Sister Yue, no, now it's time to call you the Lord of Yaoguang County." Ye Rongrong enthusiastically pulled Nangong Yue and deliberately made fun of her.

"Sister Rong, don't try to hurt my sister." Nangong Yue responded generously without being embarrassed.

"Sister Yue, the cream you recommended to me last time is really useful..." Ye Rongrong talked endlessly about skin care products, leaving almost no room for Nangong Yue to speak.

A girl in blue next to her couldn't help but interjected: "Sister Rong, this is the Lord of Yaoguang County. Don't just talk and don't introduce us!"

The movement here also attracted the attention of others, and several girls also gathered around and saluted the county head who had just been personally named by the emperor.

Nangong Yue met them one by one. She was neither humble nor arrogant, neither timid nor arrogant. She seemed to have been born in a high position, rather than being the county head who had just been appointed for a few months.

Unknowingly, Nangong Yue became the center of everyone's attention.

Putting aside the jealousy and envy in the hearts of Nangong Lin and Su Qingping, even Nangong Cheng was a little uneasy at the moment. At that time, Nangong Yue was named the county head. Although she was envious, she didn't care too much because she was still the most outstanding eldest daughter in Nangong Mansion. But now that she was out of the house, she belatedly discovered what the identity of a county chief meant.

Looking at the dignified but majestic Nangong Yue in front of her, Nangong Cheng felt complicated and didn’t know what she was thinking.

The girls were chatting happily when several maids in the back suddenly saluted outside the garden: "I have met Princess Mingyue and Miss Lu!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw three or four maids walking over surrounded by two beautiful girls.

Qu Jiayue is wearing a purple silk gauze palace skirt, with a flowing cloud bun on her head decorated with a luxurious gold and jade crown. She has bright eyes, white teeth, and a pretty face.

"Meet the princess!" The girls all saluted Qu Jiayue in unison. Princess Mingyue was famous in the royal capital, and no one was willing or dared to offend her. Soon, most of them dispersed with excuses.

Qu Jiayue looked at Nangong Yue first, then landed on Nangong Yue. She unexpectedly smiled and said, "It turns out it's the Lord Yaoguang County, and Miss Nangong, long time no see." Then, she He introduced the girl next to him, "This is Miss Lu from the Xuanping Hou Mansion."

Miss Lu's name is Lu Zhen. She is the legitimate daughter of Xuanping Hou Lu Huan and Xuanping Hou's wife Zheng. This time she came with her brother Xuanping Hou's eldest son Lu Heng.

Nalu Zhen has a pretty face, wearing a water-red gauze skirt. On her bun is a dazzling golden hairpin with eight treasures, and is also decorated with countless pearls and jade, creating a ball of jewels.

After the two parties met with each other, Lu Zhen looked at Nangong Yue with interest and suddenly said: "So you are the Lord of Yaoguang County. I heard that not only are you good at medicine, you can also win the title of County Lord. He is the first person to hold this position in hundreds of years..." Her words were well said at first, but in the end, they turned out to be a hidden secret, obviously mocking Nangong Yue for being a medical woman. This doctor is one of the three sects and the nine sects, and he is a despicable person!

Nangong Cheng could not help but blush, but Nangong Yue was calm and calm, not taking Lu Zhen and others to heart at all, and stepped back lightly: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Miss Lu, if you see The princess is bleeding, you only need to bandage her, and the princess can survive. I wonder if you will save the girl or not?"

Lu Zhen suddenly choked. If she said she wouldn't save him, she would not only offend Princess Mingyue, but also leave a reputation for being cold-blooded and ruthless. But if she said she would save her, wouldn't she be slapping herself in the face?

Nangong Yue glanced at her lightly, then walked away with Nangong Cheng, Jiang Yixi and others.

Lu Zhen looked embarrassed and was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she had no way to deal with the other party. She looked at Qu Jiayue gloomily and said with a dazed look on her face, "I didn't expect that the boss of Yaoguang County is quite powerful."

Qu Jiayue snorted, sneered at Lu Zhen and said, "If you don't know how to speak, just say a few words." After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

Lu Zhen’s face was blue and white, and she was so ashamed that she wished she could crawl into it.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the entrance of the garden, and a richly dressed lady led a tall girl with green eyes and a high nose in.

"These two are Princess Sun, the eldest daughter-in-law of Princess Yuncheng, and Princess Alina of Changdi." Jiang Yixi whispered in Nangong Yue's ear, "I have heard about this Fang Feast for a long time. Prince Cheng and Princess Alina of Changdi will also come, and now it seems to be true."

Prince Cheng and Princess Alina of Changdi... Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment. She had never seen these two people in her previous life.

At this time, Mrs. Sun walked up to the girls with Princess Alina and introduced: "Everyone, this is Princess Alina of Changdi. You are all young girls, about the same age. You should Have fun."

Princess Alina's eyes are as green as lake water, her black hair is spread like seaweed, and she wears a pearl crown on her head, which shines brightly in the sunlight.

It was basically the first time for the girls to see a person with green eyes. If the situation were different, some of them would have screamed "Monster". But this is the palace of the eldest princess of Yuncheng, and they are attending the Fang Banquet. If you make a fool of yourself here, your reputation will be completely ruined, and the girls in the entire royal capital will no longer associate with you. The girls suppressed their emotions of shock, fear, or curiosity, and greeted the Fanbang princess one by one.

Suddenly, a teenage girl stepped forward, looked at Princess Alina and asked curiously: "Princess Alina, what do you grown-up girls usually do? I heard that you The girls there can ride horses, is it true?"

"We are girls on the grassland, and we grew up on horses." Alina said proudly, "We often ride horses and sing together." Unexpectedly, Princess Alina His Mandarin was actually pretty good, and he kept talking about some things about Chang Di, "...we often hold bonfire festivals. If both men and women are interested, they can invite each other to dance and communicate with each other at the bonfire festival. If they see each other right, , you can come to propose marriage."

When the girls heard this, they covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, thinking: If this happened in Dayu, they would have to be dragged into a pig cage. This Chang Di is indeed a barbarian nation!

Alina was still there and asked enthusiastically: "Can you make roasted whole lamb?" Seeing everyone shaking their heads, she said with a pity on her face, "You should really try it, especially when you bake it by yourself, it will be so delicious. . In our place, if the first warrior can praise you for roasting a whole lamb, everyone in the grassland will be envious." Speaking of this, she said proudly, "The roast last time At the whole sheep banquet, the fifth brother only praised me, and the sisters were envious."

Fifth brother? Who is that? The girls exchanged quick glances.

Xu guessed the questions in everyone's minds, Alina explained: "Fifth brother is the fifth son of my uncle, King Chang Di, King Cheng. He is our grassland wrestling champion and riding archery champion. The king awarded him the title of First Warrior. This time he is here too, but the rules here are very strict, so the fifth brother was taken to the front yard."

Nangong Yue couldn't help turning her head to look at Jiang Yixi, seeing that she was listening with gusto and her eyes were shining. A hint of complexity flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask: "Sister Xi, what do you think of Chang Di?"

Jiang Yixi looked yearning and said: "It sounds very interesting. If I have the chance, I really want to go out and see it!"

Nangong Yue smiled in her heart. No wonder Jiang Yixi and her eldest brother Di were still living well in their previous lives. As long as they didn't resist in their hearts, life would go on naturally. Since ancient times, people have adapted to the environment, rather than letting the environment adapt to you.

Once you adapt to the environment and understand the environment, you can also change your environment accordingly according to your own abilities. There is no better way to do as the Romans do.

At this time, a voice suddenly asked loudly: "Princess Alina, do you know poetry?"

As soon as these words came out, the garden fell silent, as if you could even hear the sound of a pin dropping.

Who is this? Asking this in such a nonchalant manner!

Who doesn’t know the elder Di Shangwu? If you ask this, isn’t it revealing someone’s shortcomings?

When the girls took a look, oh, it turned out to be Lu Zhen, the eldest daughter of Marquis Xuanping. She was so brainless and eyeless, so stay away from her in the future.

“I don’t know poetry.” Princess Alina was very honest and said straightforwardly, “But my fifth brother can.” Alina puffed up her chest and showed pride, “My fifth brother is doing that on the grassland. But he is truly both civil and military."

Everyone smiled and nodded, echoing Alina's words, but thinking in their hearts: No matter how talented they are in both civil and military affairs, they can't compare to Dayu Man.

At this moment, the maid from the princess palace came to invite everyone to the green bamboo forest, saying that the Fang Feast was about to begin.

Out of the small gate in the northwest corner of the garden, there is a green bamboo forest. At first glance, there are tall and green bamboos. At the entrance of the bamboo forest, there is a huge open space. There are several large screens surrounding the open space, and there are several large screens in the middle. There are many tables, chairs and small tables, with food and refreshments placed on the small tables.

Jiang Yixi suddenly pulled Nangong Yue's sleeve and pointed a direction for her to look at.

Nangong Yue took a closer look and found that there was a white gauze curtain in the bamboo forest that was blown gently by the wind, and there seemed to be a figure shaking behind the gauze curtain.

Nangong Yue's heart moved and she immediately understood something. Some girls also noticed this situation, and most of them took their seats one by one under the guidance of the maid.

After a while, the eldest princess of Yuncheng arrived. The girls hurriedly stood up and saluted. They all spoke softly and behaved dignifiedly and elegantly. Some people praised the garden and bamboo forest of the princess's mansion; others took the opportunity to compose a poem to praise her. The beauty of the eldest princess made the eldest princess of Yuncheng smile...

After the eldest princess of Yuncheng took her seat, the others also took their seats one by one. On both sides of her sat the eldest daughter-in-law Sun, her first daughter-in-law Yuan Yuyi, Qu Jiayue, Princess Alina and other members of the royal family. girl.

The other girls also sat down again one by one.

The so-called Fang Banquet, a banquet of fragrant flowers and plants, naturally involves poetry during flower appreciation, so a girl who believed in her talent composed several poems on green bamboo and dedicated them one by one to the eldest princess of Yuncheng.

At this time, Qu Jiayue smiled and said: "How about using this green bamboo in the painting and writing a poem?"

The eldest princess of Yuncheng showed approval: "This is a good idea." After saying that, she asked the maid to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Several girls were eager to try and paint. Some directly quoted ancient poems, while others composed an impromptu poem. Nangong Cheng was among them.

"Cousin Ping, my third sister and I are still young...Cousin, why don't you come forward and give it a try?" Nangong Lin said pointedly. She had never liked this cousin who came to catch the autumn wind, so naturally she would not be respectful to her.

Su Qingping's face changed. She couldn't do anything from poetry to painting, so how could she be stupid enough to show her weakness.

Nangong Lin slapped her cousin in the face, smiled proudly, and finally remembered that she was in Princess Yuncheng's mansion, so she stopped.

And Su Qingping was unhappy with Nangong Lin, so naturally she would not continue to stay by her side to attract people's disapproval. She simply walked forward and watched some girls painting.

Although Su Qingping is not good at painting, she finally studied with Fang Ru for more than half a year, and her painting appraisal level has improved a lot. After looking around for half a circle, she already has a rough idea, and is planning to go back to Nangong Qing's place. Side, but did not want to turn around, and almost pretended to be full of love with a girl behind.

"My shoes!" The girl behind made a slightly sharp cry, but it was Lu Zhen.

Su Qingping hurriedly took a big step back, then followed the other person's line of sight and found that she had only slightly touched the edge of the other person's shoes, because the other person's shoes were a light jasmine color, so the shallow A little bit of dust makes it slightly more noticeable.

Lu Zhen's scream immediately attracted the attention of others around her. Su Qingping was a little overwhelmed and could only admit her mistake: "I'm sorry, Miss Lu, I didn't mean it."

"Of course you didn't do it on purpose. I think you obviously did it on purpose." Lu Zhen said angrily.

At this time, a girl came up and pulled Lu Zhen's sleeve, and whispered something in her ear. Lu Zhen glanced in the direction of Princess Yuncheng, and finally stopped, and only said coldly again He said, "Humph, you're lucky!" After saying that, he threw up his sleeves angrily and walked away.

After the girls finished drawing, they wrote little poems and presented them to Princess Yuncheng one by one.

Based on everyone’s opinions, the eldest princess of Yuncheng selected the three best paintings and handed them to the three maids. “You give these three paintings to the prince-in-law and let all the talented people comment on them and choose the best one. One piece."

"Yes." The maids hurried away and entered the green bamboo forest...

After they returned, one of them stepped forward, held up the painting in his hand and said, "The gentlemen said that this painting and poem are the best."

It is a picture of an inverted bamboo branch. It uses dark ink as the front surface and light ink as the back to draw a weeping bamboo branch. The shades are suitable and the aura is clearly revealed. There are also several colorful butterflies lingering around, which complement the weeping bamboo!

There is a small poem inscribed in the upper right corner of the painting: The ground is broken and the clouds rise higher and higher, and the cold drives away the three nines to lead the coquettish style. No sentimental tears will be shed, but spring mountains will turn into snow waves.

Qu Jiayue came forward and took a look, half-smiling but not smiling: "Oh, if I remember correctly, this painting should be made by Miss Nangong."

The eldest princess of Yuncheng nodded: "Exactly."

Qu Jiayue covered her mouth and smiled sweetly: "I didn't expect that Miss Nangong not only plays the piano well, but also has exquisite painting skills and composed a good poem."

The eldest princess Yun Cheng looked at the painting and nodded again: "Sure enough, she is worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Nangong family. She deserves her reputation." After saying that, she called Nangong Cheng in front of her and gave her a white jade cloud-pattern jade ring.

Nangong Cheng saluted respectfully, took it gracefully, and then sat back down holding the white jade jade ring with cloud patterns.

At this time, another maid came over holding the poem written by the male guest.

"Princess..." the maid looked respectful, "The prince-in-law said that these are the three best poems selected from the poems written by several gentlemen. Please comment on them from the princess and the girls."

After seeing it, the eldest princess of Yuncheng ordered other girls to appreciate it too.

Nangong Yue was only interested in poetry. She glanced at it casually and recognized that one of the poems should be written by her cousin Nangong Sheng from the familiar handwriting.

On the other hand, Jiang Yixi, Nangong Cheng and the other noble ladies were very interested and commented on each poem, especially the poem called "Bamboo Ode".

Nangong Cheng could not help but recite it again: "One bamboo, one orchid and one stone, with joints, fragrance and bones, the whole hall is full of gentleman's style, and the green color will last forever."

"Good poetry, really good poetry!"

"Especially the phrase 'joint, fragrant and boned' is so wonderful!"

"..."

The noble ladies responded one after another, and the company eldest princess also nodded frequently. In the end, the song "Bamboo Chanting" won the first place.

Now that the leader is out, the girls are naturally very interested in the owner of the poem.

The maid went to the men’s table to report the results of the girls’ reviews. When she came back, she revealed the owner of “Bamboo Chanting”——

King Cheng!

It’s actually King Cheng of Changdi!

The girls were surprised. Only Princess Alina let out a silver-eared laugh and said proudly: "Let me tell you, Fifth Brother is truly a man of both civil and military skills."

A bright light flashed in Nangong Qing's eyes, but there was nothing strange in her expression. She lightly praised: "What the princess said is true, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng is indeed both civil and military!"

The other noble ladies also looked at each other in surprise and said:

"His Royal Highness King Cheng is indeed Yunwen and Yunwu!"

"This song "Ying Bamboo" is really wonderful!"

"..."

While talking, some girls covered their mouths and snickered. The image of a bearded man reciting poems and painting appeared in their minds, which they found extremely interesting.

Seeing that all the girls were amazed by King Cheng's talent, Princess Alina said again: "I heard that the girl from Dayu is good at playing the piano. I wonder if I can ask today's leader to play a piece?"

Princess Alina is a guest. As long as her request is not too excessive, the host will naturally try to satisfy her, let alone just playing the piano.

After Princess Yuncheng asked Nangong Cheng's opinion symbolically, she ordered the maid to fetch a piano and asked Nangong Cheng to play it on the spot.

After burning incense and purifying her hands, Nangong Cheng sat in front of the piano table. Her delicate fingers plucked the strings, and the beautiful sound of the piano echoed in the bamboo forest...

The bright sunshine, the vast expanse of prairie, the girl is riding a horse, galloping wantonly, singing loudly, the wind blows her hair, lifts the hem of her clothes...

The girls were mesmerized by what they heard, as if they were immersed in the scene, as if they were the **** horseback, rushing out of the boudoir and living freely on the vast grassland.

After the song was over, before the girls could recover, applause came from the male guests: "This song can only be heard in heaven, not in the human world."

The girls came back to their senses. The man's Mandarin was very standard, but because it was too standard, he could hear a hint of unnaturalness. If he thought about it carefully, he knew that the speaker must be Chang Di. King Cheng.

Nangong Cheng stood up and blessed everyone with a perfect smile on her face, and said in an elegant and generous manner: "Thank you for His Highness King Cheng's praise. I am ashamed that I can't live up to it." After that, he returned to his original position and sat down. .

The eldest princess of Yuncheng smiled and praised Nangong Cheng's piano skills a few more times, then said: "It's getting late, let's go to Yuehua Pavilion for lunch first."

The girls agreed in unison and followed Princess Yuncheng to Yuehua Pavilion.

Yuehua Pavilion is built next to the lake. The lake is wide and the water is sparkling. A bow-shaped bridge in the lake is connected to a water pavilion. At first, there were girls looking out the window from time to time. When they heard the banquet of the male guests, now At that waterside pavilion, everyone took their seats with upright posture and elegant manners.

The maids at the Princess Mansion served tea, fruits, pastries, and steaming meals one by one.

After lunch was finished, Princess Yuncheng dismissed the table and let the girls play as they pleased.

"Big sister, sister Xi, let's go for a walk by Yuanxin Lake." Nangong Yue suddenly suggested with high spirits.

"Okay." Jiang Yixi nodded with a smile, "We came at the right time. Now is the season when the lotus flowers are in full bloom. It is really the most beautiful time in Yuanxin Lake."

"Our luck is really good." The corners of Nangong Cheng's pink lips slightly raised, and she turned to Nangong Lin and said, "Fourth sister, please come with us." Nangong Lin naturally agreed.

Nangong Yue glanced at Su Qingping from the corner of her eyes, and seeing that she was still hesitating, she deliberately said: "Sister Xi, I heard that there are precious and rare Crescent Goldfish in Yuanxin Lake in the Princess Mansion, is it true?"

Jiang Yixi nodded: "That's right. Apart from the imperial palace, this Crescent Gold Fish is probably only found in the princess's mansion."

"Great!" Nangong Yue clasped her hands together pretending to be excited, "My dad has been painting fish recently, but he always feels that the artistic conception is not enough. Although my dad can't come over to see this Crescent Goldfish this time, I can You can draw it and show it to daddy when you get back."

Su Qingping's expression changed, and she hurriedly said: "New Moon Goldfish, I have also heard of this fish, I must see it today."

Nangong Yue was noncommittal, but several other girls heard that they were going to Yuanxin Lake and expressed their desire to go with them. In this way, the group of people exited Yuehua Pavilion in twos and threes and walked towards Yuanxin Lake. .

The Yuanxin Lake was dug manually and was at least as big as a two-entry courtyard. It was fed by water from the moat. The water was clear and the lotus flowers on the lake swayed in the wind.

When they reached the arch bridge, several women blocked the way.

One of the women said with a respectful look: "The table in front of the waterside pavilion has not yet dispersed, and the gentlemen are still drinking and writing poems. If you want to enjoy the lake view, you might as well get on a boat and cruise around the lake." As she said this, she pointed to the edge of the lake. There are several boats, the larger ones can accommodate more than a dozen people, while the smaller ones can only accommodate three people at most.

Nangong Yue said with great interest: "Sister Xi, let's go swimming in the lake."

Jiang Yixi responded with a smile: "That's fine, the scenery in the lake must be better."

At this moment, Qu Jiayue also arrived with some girls. Seeing Nangong Yue and others, she smiled and said: "This is a rare opportunity, let's go to the lake together."

The girls responded one after another, so the group boarded the big boat together. At this time, almost all the girls who participated in the Fangjun Party were here.

The cruise ship slowly moved toward the center of the lake, and the girls enjoyed the scenery and chatted... while Nangong Yue walked to the side of the ship, admired the fish in the lake, and quietly waited for the opportunity.

It is indeed true that Princess Yuncheng is favored. Nangong Yue can tell that Princess Yuncheng is favored just from the fishes of various colors swimming happily in the water and shining beautifully in the sun. degree.

This is an extremely rare ornamental fish presented to the emperor by a small seaside country - Crescent Goldfish. Whether it was a reward from the emperor or a request from Princess Yuncheng, it shows the good relationship between the siblings. .

Nangong Yue was leisurely admiring the fish, and Su Qingping on the side suddenly came over, praised the fish in the lake a few words, and said: "Sister Yue..."

A coldness flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes, and she turned her head to look at her with a smile, and responded, "Cousin Ping."

"Sister Yue, I know you may have misunderstood me, but what happened that day was really just an accident. I didn't know there would be something like that in the book. I can't stay with you here." Su Qingping was blessed with a sincere look on her face.

Nangong Yue turned sideways to avoid her salute. No matter what, Su Qingping was her elder in terms of status. If her elder saluted her, in the eyes of others, she would inevitably be labeled as willful and reckless. name. Nangong Yue didn't care about her reputation, but if her reputation was ruined for Su Qingping, it would be really not worth it.

"Cousin Ping, my grandmother has already decided what happened that day. As a junior, I cannot be dissatisfied with my grandmother's decision." Nangong Yue said politely, "Cousin Ping is worrying too much. ."

Su Qingping was choked by her neither softness nor hardness, and felt unhappy for a while, but she still endured it, with a smile still on her face, and said, "Since Sister Yue is not angry anymore, then I I'm relieved. Sister Yue, you have always been gentle and pleasant, and I like you very much. We need to get closer in the future." Su Qingping could see that her second cousin was very interested in this legitimate daughter. That's why I blamed myself so much last time. As long as the second cousin sees that he and Sister Yue are getting along well, he will definitely be relieved.

Thinking of this, Su Qingping didn't care about Nangong Yue's various rudeness to her, she just wanted to take this opportunity to please her.

Su Qingping showed a decent smile and continued: "I wonder what Sister Yue likes in daily life? My cousin gave it to you as an apology."

Nangong Yue blinked and asked innocently: "Is anything okay?"

Su Qingping quickly promised: "Of course. No matter what Sister Yue wants, my cousin will find it for you."

"Okay." Nangong Yue said happily with crooked eyebrows, "Yue'er likes the Yun Jinzhuang satin that was recently offered as a tribute from Jiangnan. The Queen gave Yue'er a red one to make clothes, but Yue'er still has it. If you want a purple horse, Cousin Ping, give it to Yue'er."

Su Qingping was speechless. Where could she get the Yunjinzhuang satin from Jiangnan? She had never even heard of it! Is this **** trying to embarrass herself on purpose? !

Just as she was thinking about it, there was a noise from the other end of the boat. Su Qingping secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "I'll go over and take a look." With that, she left as if running away.

Nangong Yue covered up the coldness in her eyes, looked around, and saw Nangong Qing on the bow of the ship, her face flushed and holding a long arrow, surrounded by several girls.

Qu Jiayue smiled and said: "I didn't expect that King Cheng's archery skills were so superb. He shot an arrow in front of Miss Nangong from such a long distance."

"That's..." Princess Alina said proudly, "My fifth brother is the number one warrior in Changdi!" As she said that, she stood on the boat and waved to the front, "Fifth brother, fifth brother... …”

But I saw several men standing on the arch bridge near the waterside pavilion in front of me. One of them was much taller and taller than Dayu's man. Although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, Nangong Yue guessed that it was him. King Cheng of Changdi.

"There is a note tied to the arrow. Why don't Miss Nangong open it and take a look?" Qu Jiayue said again.

Jiang Yixi raised her lips lightly and said: "Sister Cheng, don't worry, even if you can't get along with this couple, there is always someone in this boat who can figure it out, otherwise, wouldn't it be looked down upon by them? ”

Nangong Qing glanced at Jiang Yixi gratefully. After being reminded by her, she remembered that Princess Yuncheng’s Fang Banquet did indeed have such a party, in order to allow young girls to get to know each other better within an appropriate scope. . The girls go swimming in the lake, and the boy shoots the couplets he has thought of into the girl's boat.

Nangong Yue's eyes couldn't help but fall on the arrowhead. The arrowhead was still untreated. It seemed that King Cheng was very confident in his archery skills.

Nangong Cheng opened the note and read: "Pine leaves, bamboo leaves, leaves and green leaves."

For a while, the girls on the boat were all lost in thought, wondering how to deal with Xialian.

Nangong Cheng was very intelligent, and he figured out the answer after just a moment's thought, and said to him, "The sound of autumn geese sounds cold."

At this time, the ship was getting closer to the waterside pavilion. Nangong Cheng's voice was clearly transmitted, and there was a burst of cheers from the waterside pavilion.

The girls maintained their identities and put on veils to cover their faces.

Qu Jiayue smiled sweetly and said: "Whoever comes up with a first couplet can test those talented people."

As soon as this statement came out, Lu Zhen was the first to applaud: "The princess is very careful, why not ask the princess to write a couplet?"

Her flattery is right on the horse’s leg!

Qu Jiayue frowned, glared at Lu Zhen, and said, "Miss Nangong just compared the couplet, so naturally she will be the one to write the first couplet this time."

Lu Zhen felt chills in her heart when she saw Qu Jiayue. Finally, she remembered that Princess Mingyue had never liked those poems and songs. She felt regretful and shrank back secretly.

Princess Alina clapped her hands and smiled: "Okay, Miss Nangong, you're welcome. Even if you make things difficult for them, it's best if they don't do anything wrong."

Nangong Cheng could not resist his kindness, so he had to write a couplet: "The color is emptiness, the mind is Buddha."

After a moment of silence, King Cheng spoke up: "He is also a poet, a wine, a Confucian scholar and an immortal."

At this time, the girls also saw the appearance of Prince Cheng clearly. After taking a look at it, they couldn't help being surprised. They originally thought that this prince from a barbarian country must be tall and thick, but they didn't expect his figure. Tall and straight, with three-dimensional and handsome features, he is a bit more masculine than the frail young men next to him.

A few of the girls couldn't help but look shy. They secretly glanced at King Cheng several times and whispered to each other. They felt that today's feast was really not in vain.

"Famous is not as good as first sight. King Chang Dicheng is indeed both civil and military." Su Qingping sighed beside Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue responded, feeling that it was time. She quickly took out a silver needle from her sleeve and pricked an acupuncture point on Su Qingping's back... Everything happened in a snap of her fingers. Nangong Yue put away the silver needle with her backhand and walked to the other side as if nothing had happened. .

She counted silently in her heart: "One, two, three!"

Just after counting "three", I heard a harsh scream from behind: "Ah!" It was two female voices overlapping.

What's going on?

Nangong Yue looked back, only to see that Su Qingping was no longer in the original place, and there were only two sounds of "plop, plop" falling into the water.

Obviously, Su Qingping was not the only one who fell into the water!
