The grass grows and the bells fly in February, and the willows blow on the embankment are drunk with spring smoke. After the cold winter month, the spring is bright and mid-spring February. On the fourth day of the February 19th, Yan Hu received an invitation from the Qiu family. The Qiu family is Qiu Huifei's mother. It is a small family in the capital. Before the New Year, the emperor was awarded the title of the harem. Qiu Fei's mother was promoted from a second-rank concubine to a first-rank concubine because of her son.

The seventh prince born to Concubine Qiu Hui was seventeen years old and was named King of Qi by the emperor and was about to leave the palace to build a palace. The Yan family and the Qiu family had no contact. After receiving the invitation from the Qiu family, Yan Hu was a little surprised and couldn't make up his mind. He went to ask Princess Nanping, "Mom, am I going?"

"Why don't you want to go?" Princess Nanping asked with a smile.

Yan Huo curled his lips, "I don't know each other."

Princess Nanping smiled faintly and said, "You will be familiar with socializing a few more times." The Qiu family has always been low-key, not showing any signs of the mountains or waters, but as the seventh prince grew up and was enthroned by the king Jianfu, I was afraid that some ambitions would arise. I don't want to be the emperor's prince, but I am not a good prince, so it is understandable that the Qiu family wants to help the King of Qi fight for that position.

No matter how understanding is, the Yan family will not turn to support the King of Qi. However, although the Yan family has a firm position and supports the orthodox legitimate birth, it is impossible for them to die of old age and not want to interact with these princes. There must be normal communication.

When Yan Huo heard Princess Nanping's words, he also knew what she meant, "Then I'll go and have a day of fun."

"That day is the Flower Festival, just bring a gift that suits the situation." Princess Nanping reminded her.

Yan Hu's eyes turned, "Mom, please give me one."

Princess Nanping gently twisted her cheek, "You have so many things in your private warehouse, and you still have to plunder my mother."

"Mom, don't be so stingy. Who made me your baby daughter?" Yan Huo said silly.

"A bad girl, there is a treasure there." Princess Nanping pretended to be disgusted and said authentically.

"Just baby, just baby." Yan Huo rolled into Princess Nanping's arms.

"Okay, baby, it's my mother's baby." Princess Nanping hugged her and smiled. As she wanted, Amber opened the warehouse and asked her to pick things.

Just as the Yan family was joking, the lady of the Minister of Rites who went to Guangji Temple to burn incense, climbed off the cliff. When the rescuers came down to the cliff, they found only the bodies of her and her two maids, as well as the fragmented horse carriage.

"Life is impermanent, life is as thin as paper. Tomorrow or accident, no one knows which one will come first." Yan Huo felt that life was very fragile, but she and the lady were just nodding, and she still remembered that this lady had visited Anguo Duke's Mansion after Fu Zhixing found her. Therefore, she did not pretend to be sad and went to mourn in a hypocritical way.

After a few days of investigation, the government office concluded that it was an accident. Even if the Minister of Rites was unwilling to do so, he could only accept such a result.

On February 12th, on the 12th day of the Flower Festival, Yan Tong'an, Yan Tonghua and Yan Tongzhu went to the tribute courtyard to participate in the second exam of the spring exam; Yan Hu went to the Qiu family as a guest, and she wanted to take Yan Zi with her, after all, Yan Zi was only one year younger than her, and it was time to go out to make friends with others, but this girl was greedy and had a bad stomach and couldn't go out.

The Qiu family sent an invitation in the name of Miss Qiu Qiu Xi. Qiu Xi was the cousin of King Qi. After all, Yan Hu was a generation shorter than Qiu Xi. But everyone was doing their own. Yan Hu would never call Qiu Xi cousin, and Qiu Xi would not regard Yan Hu as his niece.

There were piles of carriages in front of the Qiu family. Princess Heyi got off the carriage and saw that the carriage with the sign of Duke Huaien's mansion came over. She was not in a hurry to go in. Seeing Yu Qingqing get off the carriage, she called out loudly: "Qingqing."

"Princess." Yu Qingqing walked over, "I wonder if Xiaoxiao is here?"

"You'll know when you go in and take a look." Princess Heyi smiled.

The two of them joined hands and were about to enter when the maid of the prince's mansion said, "Princess, the carriage of the Yan family is here."

"Xiaoxiao walked behind us." The two stopped.

Yan Hu got off the car and saw Princess Heyi and Yu Qingqing standing by the door, "Why don't you go in? What are you doing when you stand here?"

"I'm waiting for you." Princess Heyi and Yu Qingqing said with a smile.

The three of them entered the Qiu family's gate together, and immediately a maid came to greet her and guide her to the hall to see Qiu Xi. There were nine girls sitting in the flower hall, all of whom could meet at banquets. The girl sitting in the middle was today's owner Qiu Xi. She was wearing a scalloped dress, fair skin, and her appearance was 70 to 80% similar to Concubine Qiu Hui.

Although Concubine Qiu Hui was not as beautiful as Concubine Li, her appearance was not bad. Well, the concubines in the harem were not ugly, and their niece Xiao Gu, so Qiu Xi was also outstanding. After a greeting, everyone sat down and the maid served tea to Yan Hu and the other two.

Everyone was polite, such as "I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm very worried." "What pattern is embroidered on your clothes? It's so unique." "Your hairpin is so beautiful, is it produced by Cuizhenlou?" and so on.

These ladies stayed in the backyard of the inner house all day and lived a similar life. They either read and practice calligraphy, embroider and tailor their clothes, or learned some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to spend their time.

After chatting for a while, several more ladies came, and the flower hall seemed a little crowded. Qiu Xi smiled and said, "Please move to the garden, it's relatively spacious."

So everyone was taken to the garden by the maid, and Qiu Xi was still staying in the flower hall. Obviously, there were still some guests not yet arrived. Princess Heyi couldn't help but whisper, "How many people did she hire?"

"She is a versatile person who is good at dancing and is good at dancing. No matter how many people there are, she can still greet him." Yu Qingqing smiled.

Princess Heyi curled her lips without comment.

Sitting down in the pavilion filled with flowers, someone asked: "Princess, do you know why Miss Qiu posted a post to hold a banquet today?"

Princess Heyi shook her head, "I don't know."

Yan Huo's eyes flashed and he smiled and said, "Miss Chen, if you know, just tell us."

The others also agreed, "Let me tell me, why?"

Miss Chen successfully aroused everyone's interest and attention, and felt quite accomplished. She lowered her voice and said, "The Emperor and the Empress are going to choose a concubine for His Highness the King of Qi."

The King of Qi is seventeen years old. It is normal for the Emperor and the Empress to choose a concubine for him. A lady next to him said, "What does this have to do with Miss Qiu?" Could it be that the Qiu family is planning to find someone for the Emperor and the Empress to find a candidate for the Emperor and the Empress?

"Oh, Miss Qiu is the niece of Concubine Qiu Hui, and is a cousin and sister to His Highness King Qi. His Highness King Qi likes Miss Qiu, you won't know? Miss Qiu is right? "Miss Qiu is right to His Highness King Qi..." Chen Xiaochen winked, "Do you understand now?"

Everyone showed a 'so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-

But she, Yu Qingqing and Princess Heyi are both juniors of King Qi, so you don’t need to come in front of them, right?

After a few gossips about the scandal between King Qi and Qiu Xi, everyone turned to jewelry and clothing, and then someone mentioned the story of the Miss Shujia of the Ministry of Rites. "That day, she was so angry that she was bickering with the county lord Wenhe, but she didn't expect that she died in the blink of an eye."

"A good person says it's gone."

"No one wants this kind of accident."

"Yes, who would have thought the carriage would fall off the cliff?"

"I heard that my neck and limbs were broken, so pitiful."

After chatting for a while, Qiu Xilai greeted guests in the garden, and other county lords Wenhe, Ding Xiang, Sun Dongmei and others came with her. Yan Huo calculated the number of people, including Qiu Xi, and there were a total of twenty people.

At the Flower Festival, friends plant flowers at the house where friends plant flowers, each invites guests to drink, and those who write poems. It is a custom to appreciate flowers and write poems during the Flower Festival, not to mention that with Wenhe County Lord, a talented girl, it is inevitable to appreciate flowers and write poems. Princess Heyi held her cheek and said boredly: "Can't you enjoy the flowers in peace? Why do you have to write poems?"

"Just write just one song. We are not talented women, so we don't need to write too well." Yu Qingqing smiled.

Yan Huo thought so too, but County Lord Wenhe came to her, "I wonder if Miss Yan can write a stunning peony poem this time?"

People at that time regarded the Flower Festival as the birthday of the Flower King Peony. The main thing they appreciate was peony flowers. Peony is one of the flowers with the most poetry. It is not easy to write stunning peony poems.

Yan Huo looked at Wenhe County Lord coldly, "It doesn't matter if I can't write it. The county mainly cannot write it. That's why it's a reputation as the best girl in Beijing."

"My lord, don't let our expectations down." Yu Qingqing said with a smile.

"With the talented girl of the county lord, I won't be angry." Princess Heyi finally found an excuse to not write poetry, and was very happy.

"Minister of the County, hurry up and write poetry, we are all waiting." Yan Huo deliberately urged her.

Yu Qingqing also smiled and said, "Yes, we are all waiting to appreciate the county lord's masterpiece."

"Yes, go and write poems quickly, don't hinder us from watching flowers and chatting." Princess Heyi waved his hand, as if catching flies.

The Wenhe County Lord opened his mouth, and there was a saying that Yanhu and the other three opened their mouths. She said, and Yanhu and the other three waited for her. But Wenhe County was unwilling to be defeated like this and stared at Yanhu, "You are so vulgar, you are not worthy of him at all." Fu Zhixing is a person with bright and talented and talented, so he should match her. Only she can understand his feelings, his mind, and his ambitions.

"The county lord goes to tell him what he said." Yan Huo felt that this bad peach blossom was caused by Fu Zhixing, so he had to solve it.

Yu Qingqing sneered: "The county lord shouldn't have enough talent and can't write poems. He deliberately made trouble and wanted to get away with it, right?"

"It's not certain whether there is talent or not. Maybe the reputation of a talented woman is praised." Princess Heyi said sarcastically.

At this time, Qiu Xi found that the sword was tense and hurried over to rescue the situation. "Minister, the writing and writing are ready, you go over and write poems." I didn't hear that the four of them were not in harmony. If she had known that the relationship was not good, she would have invited them separately.

After the county lord Wenhe had a step, he followed Qiu Xi and walked a few steps. She looked back at Yan Hu, who was smiling slightly at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of viciousness.
