Chapter 316 Hua Chao chooses the concubine
"The warm spring mountains and gentle suns, the wind is gentle, the railings, pavilions, curtains, and willow swings in the courtyard."
"The poet's Qing scenery is in the New Year, and the green willows are only half yellow and not even."
"The spring tides are connected to the sea level, and the bright moon on the sea is full of tides."
Listening to the noble girls chanting the poems with the word "Spring" and competing with their talents, Yan Huo was so bored that he was almost dozing off. Oh, can this flower viewing banquet come with some new ideas? At the flower viewing banquet five days ago, these noble girls chanted the poems with the word "Spring", and at the flower viewing banquet ten days ago, these noble girls chanted the poems with the wind.
Yan Huo held up the teacup with his left hand, raised his right hand, his sleeves drooped, covering his mouth and nose, pretending to drink tea, but he was actually yawning. He was so bored. He had to attend the flower court meeting held by the Crown Princess the day after tomorrow, and he had to be bored for another day. Time is so precious, but she was wasting every day.
Even if it is a waste, Yan Huo had to go to this flower court meeting. The Crown Princess did not hold a flower court meeting in the East Palace, but painted the Fong Palace in the royal courtyard of the suburbs of the city. The Fong Palace is surrounded by mountains and waters, and the scenery of the mountains and rivers shines together, giving people a comfortable feeling. The palace is towering with high pavilions, rockery is everywhere, the lake water is as clear as a mirror, and the corridor is winding and paths are secluded, which is an excellent place for chanting poems and writing essays.
Yan Huo was a city where the princess left the carriage with the princess. The princess sent someone to pick her up early in the morning, "Why did you suddenly remember to hold a flower court meeting?" The princess loved Qingjing and was not keen on holding these banquets. Knowing that the princess held a flower court meeting, Yan Huo guessed that there must be a reason here.
The Crown Princess smiled, "My mother asked me to do it. Brother Zhi is not young, and Prince Gong's mansion must have a mistress to take care of it."
"I guess this is the reason. I'm so smart." Yan Huo smiled.
"Then guess another reason." The Crown Princess smiled.
Yan Huo thought for a while, "Give marriages to the nobles who are suitable for marriage?"
The princess smiled and reached out to pinch Yan Hu's cheek, "Xiaoxiao is indeed smart."
"I guessed it right, reward." Yan Huo said with a hand.
"Yes, I'll send it to your mansion tomorrow." The Crown Princess said generously.
"Thank you for the reward of the Crown Princess." Yan Huo said withdrew.
"Go and go, why are you polite to me?" The Crown Princess glanced at her coquettishly.
When he arrived at Huifang Palace, Yanhu found that the Crown Princess not only invited the legitimate daughters of each mansion, but also invited the concubine daughter. "You also want to help pick the palace maids for the trial marriage?"
The Crown Princess shook her head, "It's helping the King of Lu find a step-concubine."
Yan Huo was stunned for a moment and counted his fingers, "The Princess Lu has only been more than 30 days since she passed away. The Prince of Lu is about to marry him. Isn't this too affectionate?"
The Crown Princess sneered, "The Prince of Lu is dissatisfied with the Princess Lu for a long time. When Princess Lu dies, he will be satisfied with his wishes. I..." The Crown Princess leaned into Yan Hu's ears, "I suspect that Princess Lu will get sick. It was because the Prince of Lu who did it intentionally, just to kill Princess Lu, so as to free up the position of the Princess Lu, and to marry a new lover."
Yan Huo whispered: "I have this suspicion, too."
"Although Princess Lu is stupid, she doesn't want to kill her. Princess Lu is really..." The princess sighed, feeling sad for Princess Lu who died for no reason.
"The prince of Lu may not look down on those concubines." Yan Huo frowned.
"I know, it's just a matter of going through the motions, there's no need to kill other people's innocent girls." The Crown Princess was kind-hearted.
"Can you stop letting them recite poems right?" Yan Huo really doesn't want to listen to those poems.
The Crown Princess burst into laughter, "Then you have an idea, what should you let them play?"
"I want them to bet on cards, do you agree?" Yan Huo asked with a wicked smile.
"Stop making trouble." The Crown Princess gently pushed her.
"I'm not making a fuss. The brand name shows the character. If the brand name is good, the character must be good. Find a princess Gong who can play cards and you can get a card match." Yan Huo said with a smile.
"It seems to make some sense after hearing what you said." The Crown Princess thought for a while, "But the gambling card is indecent, so it's better to play with a cum."
Just don’t recite poems and write them. Yan Huo smiled and said, “Everyone is coming, we should go out.”
Surrounded by the palace maids, the two arrived at Qinxiang Pavilion where the noble ladies and noble ladies gathered. There were only two empty tables left in front of the pavilion. It was the location of the Crown Princess and Yan Hu. When they saw Yan Hu and the Crown Princess come out together, they all showed a thoughtful expression.
After saluting and greetings, he sat down. The Crown Princess smiled and said, "When the Flower Festival is celebrated, it is the most worthy of viewing. Appreciating flowers alone is not enough to be happy. Today we will play a game to be happy. I wonder if you are willing?"
Of course, no noble ladies were unwilling to do so, and bowed and said, "I wish to obey the Crown Princess's orders."
"If you play with cum, you will be fined three drinks of wine if you lose. If you are not good at drinking, you will perform a show for everyone to show you. How about it?" the Crown Princess smiled.
Shooting is a kind of wine that is often played at banquets. Everyone knows the rules, which means covering something under utensils, bowls and other utensils, making people guess what it is. Most of the things hidden are things that can be taken everywhere around you, such as hand towels, fans, sachets, purses, etc.
Those who hide things call names and make people guess. If the person who hides things loses, they will be fined three glasses of wine. Those who guessed before put things and make others guess, and they will make people guess. This cycle is like this.
Seeing that everyone was not taking the initiative, Yan Huo smiled and said, "Crown Princess, this game is good, so I'm the first to come, okay?"
"Go and get the tray to Xiaoxiao." The Crown Princess ordered the palace maid.
The palace maid behind her immediately took out a red paint tray and sent it to Yan Huo, and everyone smiled knowingly.
Yan Hu put the tray under the table, covered it with a cup, and returned it to the palace maid. The palace maid held the tray and stood in front of the table. Yan Hu's eyes swept across the noble girl, and the noble girl subconsciously straightened her body.
Everyone vaguely guessed the intention of the Crown Princess to hold a flower court meeting. Then Yan Hu, who is closely related to the Crown Princess, is very important. They all want Yan Hu to have a good impression.
"Let me ask Miss Zeng Yingyu, the Minister of Justice, to guess." Yan Huo went to the Minister of Justice to attend a flower viewing banquet last time, and he had a good impression of her.
Zeng Yingyu stood up, walked out of the position, looked at the tray, and then went to Yan Hu's table, and smiled and said: Madam, is there hibiscus cake in it, right?"
There is a plate of furong cake on each table, and basically everyone has it to eat, while there are only three pieces left in Yanhu's plate. Zeng Yingyu dares to guess, it can be said that she is very bold, or it can be said that she is very rash. If you want to be more profound, you also mean that you will lose to Yanhu on purpose.
Yan Huo smiled slightly, "I lost, I will have to be fined three glasses of wine."
The palace maid opened the cup and it turned out to be a piece of hibiscus cake inside.
"Thank you for your concession." Zeng Yingyu bowed and saluted and returned to her seat.
Give up?
Yan Hu's eyes flashed slightly. This Miss Zeng really has a delicate heart. It seems that it is okay to give it to Xiaotanzi.
The little palace maid who served Yan Hu next to him drank three glasses in order to pour wine, Yan Huo drank three glasses in a row, "Ms. Zeng, it's your turn to put things."
