On the fifth day of May, in front of Danfeng Garden on Changping Street, a Zhulun chariot and two carriages stopped. Nangong Yue, Nangong Cheng, Nangong Lin and Bai Muxiao were supported by their respective maids. Got off the carriage.

Several maids in pink clothes were waiting at the door to receive the guests. As soon as they saw Nangong Yue's Zhulun chariot and Nangong Mansion's chariot, a maid immediately came up to them, bowed before leading everyone into the garden.

This year's Fang Feast will be held in Danfeng Garden.

It is said that the first owner of Danfeng Garden was Princess Jinglan of the previous dynasty. Princess Jinglan loved peonies so much that she begged her father to build a peony garden. Gradually, rare peonies from all over the Central Plains gathered here. , formed the current scale, and it is said that there are now nearly 5,000 pots of peonies in it.

When the late emperor ascended the throne, he renamed the Peony Garden Danfeng Garden and planted maple trees in it, which became the property of the royal family.

Since the founding of Dayu, only members of the royal family have been able to enter Danfeng Garden. Probably only those with status like the eldest princess of Yuncheng can hold a banquet in Danfeng Garden.

As soon as you step into Danfeng Garden, you will see a rockery made of Taihu stones with jagged rocks.

The maid took Nangong Yue and the others to the flower and tree corridor on the left. After walking along the winding flower and tree corridor for a while, they soon smelled the rich fragrance of flowers, which penetrated the heart and lungs. Looking around, I saw hundreds of flowers blooming in the garden, and the flowers were in full bloom. Along the way, we can see that every mountain, every stone, every flower, every tree, every water and every pavilion is full of ingenuity, and everyone is dazzled by it.

The maid led Nangong Yue and the four of them to the flower hall in Xiyuan to pay homage to Princess Yuncheng.

Yuncheng wore a snail bun, a vermilion palace dress, a purple and gold three-headed tasseled phoenix hairpin on his head, and two white jade peonies on his temples. He looked very noble.

After saluting Princess Yuncheng, she had just stood up when she saw a maid hurried in and announced: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Third Prince and the Second Princess are here. The Third Prince went to the Prince Consort's side. Her Royal Highness the Second Princess is coming here to pay her respects!"

The news that the third prince and the second princess came to the Fang Banquet made everyone present have different expressions. Nangong Cheng was surprised, Nangong Lin was happy, Bai Muxiao was indifferent, and Nangong Yue frowned slightly.

Yun Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly. As a host, she naturally did not welcome such uninvited guests. It was a pity that the two people's identities were so high that they could not rush them back. She could only nod and said: "Let the second princess come in."

After a while, a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old walked in from outside the hall. Wearing a short pink gauze jacket, with bright eyes and white teeth, she walked up to Princess Yuncheng and bowed before her: "Haoxue has met the emperor's aunt."

The eldest princess of Yuncheng smiled lightly: "Get up."

"Thank you, Aunt Huang."

After the second princess saluted the eldest princess of Yuncheng, Nangong Yue led Nangong Qing, and Nangong Lin and Bai Muxiao saluted the second princess again: "I have met the second princess, Your Highness."

The second princess immediately said with familiarity: "Sister Yue, there is no need to be polite." The affectionate look seemed to be as close as sisters to Nangong Yue.

After that, Yun Cheng gave her a seat. The second princess sat on the left side of Yun Cheng. Nangong Yue was kindly pulled to sit next to her by Yun Cheng. He looked at her with a smile and said, "Sister Yue, some time has passed. No, you’ve grown a lot taller.”

Nangong Yue smiled and said: "Your Highness, my mother said the same thing, saying that I will grow taller but not fat."

"Don't worry, when you grow taller, you will gain weight. In three or four years, you may even think you are fat." Yun Cheng looked at Nangong Yue lovingly, with a very gentle and intimate smile.

Although the eldest princess of Yuncheng has been very kind to Yuan Yuyi since she healed her facial injury, Nangong Yue always felt that the eldest princess seemed to be a little closer to her today... It was like she was really Do you regard her as your junior?

I didn’t expect the eldest princess to be so kind to Nangong Yue... Nangong Lin looked a little uncomfortable from behind, but thinking that even Nangong Cheng was not treated differently by the eldest princess, she felt a little more balanced.

The second princess watched Yuncheng keep pulling Nangong Yue to talk, and couldn't help but say: "Aunt Huang only talks to sister Yue and ignores Haoxue. Does it mean she doesn't like Haoxue anymore?"

Yun Cheng was displeased. Could it be that she, the aunt, wanted to look at the second princess's face no matter who she talked to? The concubine who was really raised by a young wife cannot be brought to the stage, and the young family is very angry!

Yun Cheng was thinking this in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said lightly: "Haoxue, you are so good. You are my niece, how can I 'hate' you."

Nangong Yue clearly sensed Yuncheng's meaningful words. The second princess called herself Haoxue to Yuncheng, but Yuncheng called herself "Hongong" to the second princess. The second princess just asked Yuncheng if he didn't like her, but Yuncheng didn't say whether he liked her or not, but just said how could he "hate" you!

It seems that the eldest princess of Yuncheng definitely does not like the second princess...

Yuncheng politely greeted the second princess for a few words, and then said: "Okay, it's rare for you little girls to come to Danfeng Garden once, so I won't keep you any longer. You go first. Let's enjoy the peonies over at the peony garden." She smiled mysteriously and said meaningfully, "I have specially prepared a little game for everyone. You must be careful when appreciating the flowers, or you may get unexpected surprises. ”

Mini games? surprise?

The girls were all confused, but they didn’t ask any more questions. They just saluted Yuncheng and left together.

Under the guidance of a maid in pink, everyone arrived at the Peony Garden. They saw that the garden was filled with peonies of all colors. The flowers were in full bloom, including Hehong, Feilaihong, Yuanjiahong, Zuiyanhong, and Yunhong. , Tianwai Red, Yifu Yellow, Soft Strip Yellow, Yan'an Yellow, Early Spring Red, Trembling Wind Jiao... They are so colorful and fragrant, the fragrance is overflowing, making people dazzled and dizzying.

The Peony Garden is divided into two parts by a large piece of milky white light-transmitting gauze curtain. Next to the gauze curtain, every few steps, a maid in pink clothes is guarding. When you get closer, you can see the other side of the gauze curtain. There was a figure moving at one end, and a male voice faintly talking came over.

The maid who led the way explained as she walked: "Her Royal Highness the Second Princess, Princess Yaoguang, the two Nangong girls, Miss Bai, and on the other side of the gauze curtain are the male guests admiring the flowers. But please rest assured, There are maids guarding every few steps here, and they will never let the male guests bump into the girls."

Nangong Yue nodded slightly and continued walking forward with Nangong Qing without looking away.

Nangong Lin, who was walking behind, subconsciously slowed down her pace, intending to show her best demeanor in front of others. As she walked, she couldn't help but glance at the gauze curtain several times.

At this time, the second princess said: "It turns out that the male guest's table is over there to enjoy the flowers. Maybe the third emperor's brother of this palace is already there." After a pause, she said with a smile on her face. , "Speaking of which, the first time I heard sister Yue's name was from the third emperor's brother. The third emperor's brother was full of praise for sister Yue's medical skills and said that he had always wanted to find an opportunity to meet with sister Yue. Ask for advice face to face..."

Bai Muxiao on the side could sense something about it. She quickly glanced at the second princess and thought to herself: Could it be that the second princess wants to bring Nangong Yue and the third prince together? I don’t know if this means the second princess, the third prince or Concubine Zhang?

While thinking, she looked towards Nangong Yue with interest, also wanting to see how cousin Yue would respond. After all, the position of the third prince's concubine should be very attractive to most girls, right?

Nangong Yue's face remained as usual, without showing any trace of shyness or wanting to refuse the greeting. She just said calmly: "Your Highness, the Second Princess, and the Third Prince, if they are interested in medical skills, they can go to the imperial doctor in the palace. Why bother looking far away from them?"

The second princess immediately said: "How can those quack doctors compare to Sister Yue!"

This second princess really deceives people without sparing any effort. She offended all the imperial doctors with just one sentence! Nangong Yue sneered in her heart, but she said calmly: "Your Highness, the Second Princess, is very grateful. Medical skills are extensive and profound, and imperial doctors and Yaoguang just have their own strengths. Today is a rare feast, so don't talk about it, so as not to worry about it. What a waste of this beautiful scenery!"

Nangong Yue said so, so the second princess was naturally embarrassed to dwell on this topic, showing a hint of embarrassment.

In the peony garden, there are already many girls admiring the flowers. The girls in costumes are surrounded by the colorful peonies, which makes people wonder whether to appreciate the flowers or the beauty.

Although Nangong Yue, Nangong Cheng and Nangong Lin had attended a feast, they still could not recognize everyone. However, many people recognized Nangong Yue as the third girl from the Nangong family who had just been named Princess Yaoguang by the emperor. .

Today, Nangong Yue can be regarded as a hot topic among the girls. In just over a year, she was promoted from an unknown little girl to the county head, and now to the first-grade princess. She is definitely deeply favored by the emperor.

Those girls who were good at business came forward to salute Nangong Yue. Nangong Yue accepted the offer without humility and introduced the second princess to them. The girls hurriedly greeted the second princess and talked around her, which gave Nangong Yue a chance to escape. Under the guidance of the maid, she found Jiang Yixi, Yuan Yuyi and others.

When Jiang Yixi saw Nangong Yue and the others, she was very happy and said, "Sister Cheng, sister Yue! You are here, please help me think about it together, what is the game that the eldest princess is talking about? We are all exhausted. I’ve lost my brain, but I still don’t understand what’s going on!”

"Yes, Sister Yue, Sister Xi and I have tried our best to figure it out but can't figure it out." Jiang Yixi's good friend Ye Rongrong complained with a bright little face wrinkled, "I asked Liushuang County Master several times, She just laughed and refused to say a word!" As she spoke, she glared at Yuan Yuyi angrily, her cheeks bulging.

"If this is revealed, then what fun is there in the game? In short, the secret is in this peony garden. You just have to find it." Yuan Yuyi was obviously dressed up carefully today, wearing a crimson densely woven gold dress. A silk peony flower is tied on her head. The long tassel is made of pink pearls the size of rice grains. It hangs from the stamens of the peony and dangles slightly between her white earlobes. She holds a bright tassel. people.

"Sister Xi," Nangong Yue persuaded with a slight smile on her lips, "Why do you care so much about the game? It's thanks to Her Royal Highness that you can come to Danfeng Garden to enjoy the peonies. Many of the peonies here are It's very rare."

Nangong Cheng nodded in agreement and said, "Third sister is right. Sister Xi, don't think too much. The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Maybe if you relax, you will make unexpected discoveries."

"Yes!" Nangong Lin hurriedly smiled and chatted, "Sister Xi, the peonies here are so beautiful. Do you think that one is the 'Drunken Royal Concubine'?" As she spoke, she pointed to the peonies not far behind Jiang Yixi. A pot of peonies.

"Drunken Concubine?" Jiang Yixi became interested, "Let's go over and have a look."

The group came to the pot of peony pointed by Nangong Lin, and saw that its flowers were huge and the pink-purple petals were brightly colored.

"The branches are soft, the flower heads are drooping, and they are in a slender drunken state. It really lives up to its name as a 'drunken imperial concubine'." Nangong Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Quick, look at this..." Ye Rongrong's exclamation reached everyone's ears, "This should be the 'New Flower Queen', right?"

Everyone was immediately diverted and walked to a pot of purple peonies.

Jiang Yixi said in amazement: "I heard that the 'New Flower Queen' is a new tribute flower species. One plant can bloom a hundred flowers, just like the whole body covered with pearls, so beautiful..."

The group of people admired the flowers and chatted all the way. Jiang Yixi walked beside Nangong Yue seemingly casually and said softly: "Xirong's envoy has arrived in the royal capital. After I talked to my father and mother last time, mother I went to see the Empress specially, and the Empress has already agreed. Sister Yue, thank you so much for reminding me."

Nangong Yue smiled and said: "Maybe I'm just overthinking, after all, there is another person in the palace..."

She made a "two" gesture. Although it was common for the daughters of clan members and ministers to be given the title of princess and get married, after all, no one could bear to part with their own daughter, and there happened to be a princess of the right age in the palace. , with the emperor's character, even if he wants to protect the second princess, he will not force others too much. It's just that this matter has not been settled for a day, and we still need to be careful. Fortunately, the Jiang family still has a queen in the palace...

No matter how Jiang Yixi felt that the second princess was wronged to marry someone older than her father, she would not want to take her place. I just feel a little sad in my heart.

"Let's not talk about it. Let's enjoy the flowers today." Nangong Yue said with a smile, "...Sister Xi, look, what are they doing there?"

Looking in the direction indicated by Nangong Yue, I saw five or six girls pointing around a peony.

"Miss Wang," Jiang Yixi recognized one of the girls wearing a bright red bra with embroidered lotus patterns and asked, "What are you doing?"

The girls turned around and saw Nangong Yue and his party. They hurriedly greeted each other. The second girl Wang replied: "Miss Jiang, we are guessing what kind of peony this peony is."

"Yeah..." Another girl wearing a silver-blue jacket frowned, "We can't even figure out what kind of peony this is."

Yuan Yuyi looked at Nangong Cheng with a smile and said, "Miss Nangong, you are a learned and knowledgeable person, why don't you take a look?"

"Okay!" Nangong Cheng agreed happily.

Everyone walked to the peony and saw that some of the peony flowers were not fully in full bloom and were light yellow; some flowers were already in full bloom and were yellow and white.

Nangong Cheng looked at it carefully for a while and then said: "I have neither seen this peony nor heard it mentioned by others, so I don't know what kind it is." Then she asked hesitantly, "Is it a newly cultivated variety? ”

Yuan Yuyi clapped her hands and praised: "Miss Nangong's guess is good, it is indeed a new variety." A smile appeared on her face, "It is the latest one cultivated by the gardener in our house. Mother thought about today's fragrance. During the banquet, I asked the people to move here..."

"This was bred in the princess's house." Nangong Lin hurriedly praised, "It looks really noble, elegant and extraordinary."

Immediately someone asked: "County Lord, I wonder if this flower has been named?"

Yuan Yuyi immediately said: "Not yet. It's rare for everyone here to appreciate this flower. Why not give it a name? We will choose the best one and name it after this. What do you think?"

The girls present were all moved when they heard this. If this peony is finally named by themselves... maybe they will be favored by Princess Yuncheng, and they will be able to appear in front of the young masters of the aristocratic families, maybe. Seek to get a good marriage.

"Why don't we just call it 'Yuanhuang'." Ye Rongrong said with a smile.

Yuan Yuyi couldn't help but nodded her forehead and said, "You're a bitch!" Then she looked at the other girls, "Girls, if you have any good ideas, please feel free to tell me."

Gradually, some girls came up with the names they wanted, but Yuan Yuyi was not satisfied with them.

What about cloud yellow, topaz white, flower yellow... I always felt that something was missing when I heard it. Until Nangongcheng said "Yu Yi Huang", Yuan Yuyi couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands and cheered: "Okay. Yu Yi Huang" Yellow, the most noble yellow, is none other than the yellow of the royal robe, which carries a compelling momentum."

Everyone nodded and applauded, and the atmosphere became more harmonious and pleasant.

Nangong Yue watched with a smile while also paying attention to Bai Muxiao's movements. From the beginning to the end, Bai Muxiao had been admiring the flowers by herself, neither catering to the princess nor enjoying herself with everyone, as if I have no desires or requirements, just coming to the Fang Feast to enjoy the peonies.

Nangong Yue's eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile that was not a smile. It's rare that the third prince is here today. I hope that the couple from their previous lives can renew their relationship!

On the other side, Yuan Yuyi ordered someone to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked Nangong Cheng to write the three words "Yu Yi Huang" with his own hand, and then handed it to a maid and said: "Go and give this to mother. It is said that Miss Nangong named the pot of yellow peonies."

The maid took the order and left, followed by another maid, who whispered something in Yuan Yuyi's ear. Yuan Yuyi showed a subtle expression on her face and nodded to show that she understood.

The girls on the side were already talking around Nangong Cheng:

"Miss Nangong is indeed an expert."

"Yu Yi Huang, this peony really deserves this name, it's wonderful."

"..."

While the girls were chatting happily, a familiar and charming female voice suddenly came from behind: "What are you doing here?"

Everyone was startled and followed the sound, only to see Mingyue Princess Qu Jiayue coming. She wore a soft satin phoenix skirt with flowers and a peony-like gemstone flower, slanting on the ground. Inserted in a bun, it is unparalleled in beauty.

"I have met Princess Mingyue!"

The girls quickly knelt down and saluted Qu Jiayue, but Nangong Yue just nodded to her slightly, which was regarded as a flat salute. At this time, a surprise call came from behind: "Mingyue." Not far away, the second princess looked at Qu Jiayue with a smile.

Qu Jiayue hurriedly walked up to the second princess. After bowing, she said with a surprised look on her face: "Your Highness, the second princess, why are you here?"

The second princess smiled and said: "I came here with the third emperor's brother, so my father and mother are naturally relieved. Besides, the owner here today is the emperor's aunt, what can happen?"

"Your Highness the Second Princess and Your Highness the Third Prince are also here?" Qu Jiayue was even more surprised.

"Yes." The second princess curled her lips slightly.

When the other girls around heard that the third prince was actually here, their eyes suddenly lit up. They thought: If they leave a good impression on the second princess, they might be able to make the third prince remember them through the second princess's mouth! So, they all quickly gathered around to salute and talk to the second princess. For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely warm, but Qu Jiayue was left out in the cold. Qu Jiayue's eyes flashed with annoyance, but she immediately returned to normal.

"Princess," Nangong Cheng did not go to the second princess. After hesitating, she took a step forward and said to Qu Jiayue, "I haven't seen you for a few months. How are you doing, Princess?" Although Nangong Cheng felt a little worried. I feel uncomfortable, but I think that when I was in Cuiwei Mountain, I was so close to Princess Mingyue, and we could be considered friends in times of need. No matter what, I shouldn't alienate her because of my brother's matter.

Qu Jiayue looked at Nangong Cheng and deliberately showed hesitation: "This girl is..." As she said that, she seemed to remember, "It turns out to be Miss Nangong!" Her attitude was clearly Satirizing Nangong Cheng for pretending to be unfamiliar.

None of the other girls wanted to offend the arrogant and domineering Princess Mingyue, so they retreated to the side without leaving a trace, not wanting to suffer any disaster. Nangong Lin shrank her body and hid in the crowd, fearing that Qu Jiayue's next shot would be aimed at her.

On the day of outing in Cuiweishan last year, Jiang Yixi and others saw Qu Jiayue's affection for Nangong Cheng, and now they turned to face each other like they were reading a book. Although Jiang Yixi didn't know what kind of princess disease Princess Mingyue was suffering from, she really couldn't stand it anymore. When she was about to speak, she was held down by Nangong Qing. She smiled bitterly and shook her head at Jiang Yixi, thinking: It seems that she was at Cuiwei Mountain last year. The reason why Princess Mingyue is so affectionate to me is indeed related to her eldest brother Nangong Sheng!

Since Nangong Cheng didn't want to care about it, Jiang Yixi didn't say anything.

The atmosphere was awkward when a maid hurriedly came to the girls with a piece of paper, saluted Yuan Yuyi and said: "County Master, Her Royal Highness the Princess ordered the slave to bring this. She said it was from the male guest. Bian also named Huang Mudan and invited the girls to take a look."

When everyone heard that the male guest also named the yellow peony, they all became curious.

Yuan Yuyi took the paper, but saw that the zigzag characters on it were strong, rigorous, and self-contained. She secretly praised the "good characters" in her heart, and then read: "Royal robe yellow."

There was only one word difference between "Yu Yi Huang" and "Yu Pao Huang". Nangong Cheng was startled.

"The royal robe is yellow, the royal robe is yellow..." Jiang Yixi smiled and said, stroking her palms, "This is really a coincidence. I wonder who named it?"

The maid immediately replied: "It's Young Master Chaihua Liu from Jinke."

"Is this written by Liu Tanhua?" After hearing the name of Liu Tanhua, a girl came up to Yuan Yuyi curiously: "County Lord, I wonder if we can appreciate Liu Tanhua's words."

Of course Yuan Yuyi would not refuse and handed the piece of paper into the girl's hands.

Spring has just passed for more than a month, and the top three in this group are the focus of everyone's attention in the capital, especially the young and handsome Liu Tanhua. In the Jinluan Palace, the emperor wanted to select him as the second best, but he saw that Cheng Bang's eyes were white and fat, and his appearance did not match Tanhua, so he adjusted the rankings of Cheng and Liu, and then Liu Tanhua was chosen. The name of Tanhua...

Although they know that most of these anecdotes circulated in the market are false, the ladies still listen to them with gusto.

For a while, the peony garden became lively, and other girls heard that there was Liu Tanhua’s calligraphy here, and they also ran over to take a look.

Seeing this, Qu Jiayue felt even more unhappy. She even hated Liu Qingyun for the marriage between Nangong Sheng and Liu Qingqing, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists at her sides.

Damn it!

A hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, and she said with a smile: "Miss Nangong and Liu Tanhua really have a good understanding of each other. The royal clothes are yellow, the royal robes are yellow, they have different approaches but the same purpose." As she said this, she looked at Nangong Cheng with a half-smile.

The original intention of this Fangyan Party is a blind date party, and the meaning behind Qu Jiayue's words is obvious.

The girls present who didn't know what was going on were still convinced that this banquet might become a good story again, and they all whispered to each other.

"Oops!" Qu Jiayue suddenly exclaimed, as if she thought of something, "I remember that Nangong Mansion and Liu Mansion just held a happy event recently, right?"

Nangong Cheng's pretty face turned pale, her delicate body was trembling slightly, she was almost ashamed and angry.

The girl who knew about it had quietly told the girl next to her that more than a month ago, the eldest young master of Nangong Mansion and Liu Tanhua's sister had a wedding.

The other girls immediately understood when they heard this. This aristocratic family does not pay attention to marriage exchanges. Since the eldest young master of Nangong Mansion is married to Liu Tanhua's sister, it is absolutely impossible for Nangong Cheng and Liu Tanhua to marry!

Thinking about it this way, the girls finally understood that Princess Mingyue’s words were basically “Xiangzhuang’s sword dance, with the intention of Pei Gong”! Princess Mingyue knew the truth and still said this in front of everyone. She was basically humiliating Nangong Cheng.

Nangong Yue frowned and was about to speak when she heard Bai Muxiao say with a slight smile: "I have a cousin named Gu Yue." Then he looked at Jiang Yixi again, "Miss Jiang, I remember you. There is a cousin named Zhongdong, right? Speaking of which, Jia Yue, Gu Yue, and Zhongdong are rare people who are so destined, so they should be bound to Jinlan."

When the girls heard this, they immediately looked towards Bai Muxiao, full of interest.

"Gu Yue", "Jia Yue" and "Midwinter" all have the same meaning, representing November. Princess Mingyue talked about "a tacit understanding", but Miss Bai responded with "a predestined relationship", and her provocation was palpable.

Qu Jiayue glared fiercely at Bai Muxiao and thought to herself: How dare cats and dogs dare to provoke her?

But Bai Muxiao remained motionless and faced Qu Jiayue without hesitation, "Princess, what do you think?"

Qu Jiayue did not respond, and could only say bluntly: "I really want to get to know each other if I have the chance." After saying that, he threw away his sleeves and gritted his teeth with hatred: What a Nangong Cheng! First, your brother personally went to Pingyang Marquis Mansion to humiliate me, and now you instruct your cousin to humiliate me in public. If I, Qu Jiayue, do not avenge this hatred, I will never rest!

Nangong Qing looked at Bai Muxiao with a grateful face and said nothing, but she had already made a note of Bai Muxiao's help in her heart. Bai Muxiao smiled back, with a faint smile always hanging on the corner of his mouth.

But Nangong Yue fell into deep thought. At this time in her previous life, she was already at her grandfather's house. By the time she returned to Nangong's house, Bai Muxiao had already returned with her mother for several years. Because everyone was getting older, She didn't pay much attention to the change in Bai Muxiao's personality. However, looking back now, whether in the past life or in this life, there is actually a big difference between Bai Muxiao later and when he was a child... Is it because of amnesia?

At this time, a breeze suddenly blew by, and the yellow peony swayed with the wind. Under the bright sunshine, it seemed to be covered with a golden light, and it looked golden, as if it were not a mortal thing.

"Huh?"

Nangong Cheng suddenly half-squinted her eyes and looked at the yellow peonies. She felt that one of the peonies stood out from the crowd, as if it was really shining.

Nangong Cheng took a closer look and found that the peony flower was indeed more dazzling than other peonies of the same plant. She was amazed and looked at it carefully...

Yuan Yuyi, who was on the side, noticed Nangong Cheng's actions, covered her mouth and smiled, and whispered to the maid beside her: "Go and take down the peony flower and give it to Miss Nangong."

"Yes, County Master!" the maid responded, quickly stepped forward, picked off the peony, and respectfully handed it to Nangong Cheng's hands, "Miss Nangong, please keep this peony!"

As soon as Nangong Cheng got it, she realized something was wrong. When she looked at it again, she couldn't help but smile: "What exquisite craftsmanship!" It turned out that this was a peony silk flower, not a real peony!

Yuan Yuyi smiled silently, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

Jiang Yixi walked up to Nangong Cheng, looked at the peony silk flower in her hand with curiosity, and marveled: "It is indeed a good craftsmanship, the work is so similar, it's hard for Sister Cheng to see the difference between them. Where!" Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Yuan Yuyi as if she wanted to understand something, pointed at the peony silk flower in her hand and said, "Liu Shuang, could it be that the game Her Royal Highness the Princess said was to find the peonies? Peonies and silk flowers mixed among the flowers?"

Yuan Yuyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, exactly."

Nangong Lin said with envy on her face: "Sister, you are so lucky. You are so blessed that you don't have to be busy and you can finish the game so quickly."

The other girls suddenly realized this and looked at Nangong Cheng with admiration and envy.

Nangong Cheng once again became the center of the crowd. Her pink cheeks were like a delicate peony flower, and she looked more and more beautiful.

Yuan Yuyi added with a smile: "There is only one silk flower for each peony in this peony garden. I hope every girl present today can find a silk peony flower. In half an hour, we will go to the Perfume Pavilion ."

When the girls heard that time was running out, they all scattered and walked to the peonies of different colors.

Most of the girls were still concerned about their image, and just ordered the maid to inspect the past carefully with them, but there were also impatient girls who reached out and wanted to touch the peonies.

Seeing this, a maid in pink clothes immediately said: "Girl, please forgive me for being rude. Her Royal Highness the Princess said not to touch the peonies with your hands. Otherwise, it will be against the rules of the game. Please be merciful." ”

The girl had no choice but to retract her hand.

Nangong Yue walked leisurely in the garden. She didn't have any determination to win this game, so she was very casual. However, Magpie was more anxious than she was and started searching around hurriedly.

Nangong Yue didn't stop her either. It was rare that she could go out to play, and it was enough to go back having fun.

Magpie and Bai Hui searched here and there, and finally found a light red peony silk flower.

"That one! That's the one!" Magpie shouted in surprise, his little face glowing with excitement.

A maid in pink clothes immediately picked off the silk flower for them, handed it to Nangong Yue, and congratulated: "Congratulations, Princess, for finding a 'silver and red pair'."

Nangong Yue took the "silver and red pair", and Baihui immediately rewarded the maid with a silver flower with a peony pattern.

"Thank you, Princess!" The maid's face turned into a smile and she took it respectfully.

Now that she found the peony silk flower, Nangong Yue went to meet Nangong Cheng, Jiang Yixi and others, so no one noticed that the maid just turned around, lifted up her white gauze and went to the male guest, and turned to the other one. The maid in a moon-white dress said something.

The maid in a moon-white dress nodded, quickly went to the peony bush next to the male guest and picked up a "Silver Red Qiao Pair", then quietly went to Yuan Lingbai and gave him the silk flower.

Yuan Lingbai held the "Silver-Red Clever Pair" flower and was deeply moved: His mother was so kind to him, so he didn't have to bother looking for it himself. She is indeed my mother!

A bright smile appeared on his face, but as soon as he turned around, he faced a face with a lazy smile. He immediately shouted respectfully, "Brother..." After a pause, he added, " Your jade pendant is still as beautiful as today!"

Yuan Lingbai felt extremely pitiful. As a younger brother, he had to be at his beck and call all the time. Recently, this eldest brother didn’t know what he was thinking. He showed off his new network in front of them all day long and insisted on asking them to do it every day. Praise it in different sentences! To be honest, these five bats are really well made. They use at least ten kinds of black threads of different shades, mixed with silver threads, and are very fine and dense. They match the jade pendant that the elder brother always wears. , but I can’t help but think of different words to praise every day!

In order to think about vocabulary, Yuan Lingbai stayed in the study for so long for the first time in his life, which even moved his mother.

After praising him for more than a month, he was still at a loss for words. He just said "just as good-looking", and the eldest brother must be dissatisfied. Yuan Lingbai wanted to cry but had no tears.

For the first time, Yuan Lingbai realized that he was still quick-witted. An idea flashed in his mind and he hurriedly said: "Brother, there will be an interesting event at the Fang Feast today!" He gestured with the peony silk flower in his hand. , explained the game of finding peony silk flowers in one breath, and finally added: "Later, the girl and the young man who found the same peony silk flower will collaborate to perform a talent..."

As expected, Xiao Yi didn't care about his hasty praise and immediately snapped his fingers.

The next moment, a secret guard appeared in front of Xiao Yi and asked respectfully: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Go and find out what peonies and silk flowers Princess Yaoguang got?" Xiao Yi ordered.

"Yes." The secret guard took the order and left.

Xiao Yi is in a good mood. The rules of this game are simply great. As long as he finds the same peony silk flower as the stinky girl, he can be with the stinky girl openly!

Yuan Lingbai suddenly had a cold war. Somehow, he always had an unknown premonition...
