The plum blossom banquet was a guise of Ji Zishan's flower viewing and making friends. As Ji Zishan's friend in the boudoir, Ji Ziluo and Gao Miaomiao must be invited to make up for the numbers.

On the day of viewing the flowers, thirty noble ladies from various palaces, all of whom were of different ages, entered the palace with exquisite appearances to make an appointment.

The weather today is very good. Although it is the beginning of winter, it is because of the warm sunshine and the wind is not blowing again, so the climate is comfortable and the temperature is pleasant.

As soon as the noble ladies entered the palace, they were led to Meiyuan by the nannies.

All the flowers in the plum garden are blooming. Looking at it, it looks like a sea of ​​red clouds. The soft voice of Madam Qiuyu smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager and the Princess will come here later. Ladies can enjoy the flowers yourself first." After that, he turned around and left the plum garden.

As soon as the nanny who seemed to be of relatively high status left, the noble ladies saw that there were only four palace maids standing nearby with their hands hanging down, they all breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment, everyone scattered away in groups of three or three, some whispered, some turned their eyes and looked at the plum blossoms with a smile. Although everyone had different expressions, they all had a tacit understanding and only circled around the periphery of the Meilin. This was the inner courtyard of the palace, not the back garden of their own. How dare they run around at will? Besides, if the Empress Dowager and the Princess came, they could not come to salute for a while, what should they do?

In the nervous and expectant mood of the noble ladies, Empress Dowager Hui'an and her group arrived late.

In addition to Ji Zishan, the accompanying people were Princess Lian, Ji Ziluo, and Gao Miaomiao.

With the news from Madam Qiuyu, a group of noble girls who had been waiting for a long time came to pay tribute to him. Ji Zishan, who was holding Empress Dowager Hui'an's arm, looked around and saw a group of beautiful girls wearing brightly colored satin cotton clothes, tied with delicate hair buns, and wearing various precious jewelry on her hair. They looked bright and beautiful and noble.

After receiving the ceremony, Empress Dowager Hui'an smiled angrily: "The palace hasn't been so lively for a long time. Well, you just saw the plum blossoms in the palace and thought what the scenery was like?" Empress Dowager Hui'an's question was to ask a group of noble girls, but he didn't ask anyone to answer. In other words, everyone has the opportunity to reply. The bright-minded person has spoken respectfully and praised the scene of the plum garden with beautiful words.

Those who reacted slightly but were eager to show their feelings also followed and praised them a few words later.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Hui'an smiled without saying goodbye, she turned to Ji Zishan and said, "This flower viewing banquet is something you want. You can play whatever you want. My mother and your aunt Wang are here to bask in the sun and taste tea, and do not disturb your little girl's interest."

Ji Zishan smiled and said, "Mother, I just came up with a good idea."

"Oh, what's the good idea?" Empress Dowager Hui'an picked up the teacup and asked in a cooperative manner.

Ji Zishan smiled and said, "In the past, I was the only sister Aluo and sister Miaomiao, and so many people came here all at once. I thought everyone could divide into three teams and try to play together. This would be more lively. Mother, what do you think I have this idea?"

"You, I'm thinking about playing all day long." Empress Dowager Hui'an sighed seriously, but her face was full of indulgence and doting smiles.

Ji Zishan smiled and said coquettishly: "Why, mother, are you going to agree?"

Empress Dowager Hui'an smiled and said, "Didn't you say everything just now? You can do whatever you want."

In this way, even if the pot-to-pole competition was ordered, Ji Zishan, Ji Ziluo and Gao Miaomiao were the captains, and the remaining thirty noble girls were divided into three teams and acted as members of the three. How should the thirty people be grouped? Ji Zishan did not name the name, but only smiled and said, "Ten people come to my side." As soon as Ji Zishan finished speaking, more than half of them moved closer to her side, and only a small number of people took the initiative to stand Ji Ziluo and Gao Miaomiao's team.

Not far away, Empress Dowager Hui'an and Princess Lian were smiling and drinking tea, and ignored the movements here.

Because Ji Zishan only collected ten people and did not grab the top ten positions, she could only stand in the other two teams with regret. After dividing the team, Ji Zishan talked about the rules she set for throwing pots: "There is no limit on the number of arrows available to everyone. As long as they can keep hitting, they can keep hitting. On the contrary, as long as there is a mistake, they have to be eliminated and left. Everyone's number of shots will be recorded. Which team adds up the most times, which group wins."

"This idea is interesting, just play like that." Ji Ziluo, wearing a lake blue coat, said with a smile.

During the team chatting, Madam Biyun had directed the palace servants to bring in nine ceramic pots, three of which were arranged in a row. In response, Ji Zishan explained: "We have a large number of people. If we only throw them into one pot, I am afraid that the people behind will not be able to throw them." When everyone heard this, they also understood what they meant. At the beginning, the pot was empty, and the person who threw them first would naturally benefit from it. When the arrows in the pot were more difficult, the difficulty of hitting them would increase a lot. Putting two more pots was also a chance to show the people behind.

After everything was ready, the pot-to-pole competition officially began. At this moment, His Majesty Ji Ziqing actually led Prince Yuanyuan.

Ji Zishan didn't need to disguise her surprise. She was really surprised: "Brother, why are you here?" Why did she still have a sudden attack?

His Majesty Ji Ziqing sat in the chair and said calmly: "The weather is good, let's go and have a break. You can continue playing with yours." Why? Isn't it natural and reasonable for him to come to meet his future daughter-in-law in person?

After hearing this, Ji Zishan did not bother with the emperor brother. She turned around and went to the competition place beside her and announced the start of the competition again. She, Ji Ziluo, and Gao Miaomiao, as the captain, were all ranked last and then played.

The eldest prince Yuanyuan, who was still kept in the dark, was curious: among these people, who could become his Aunt Wang?

In the palace, the three noble girls who were ranked first were already a little nervous. Unexpectedly, before the first arrow was thrown out, two super big Buddhas came to watch. The first three noble girls were even more nervous, including Ning Yufei, as the uncle's cousin of the eldest princess Zhaoyang, she naturally chose the princess's cousin team. Because she was the niece of the queen mother, no one dared to compete with her for the first place.

At this time, Ning Yufei's heart was beating wildly. The empress dowager's aunt and the emperor's cousin were watching. What should she do if she didn't make a comeback? Ning Yufei became more nervous the more she thought about it. The more nervous she became, the more shaking her hands became. Finally, sweat appeared on her fingertips.

Seeing that the three of them were always in the test shot, but they were always hesitant not to take action, Ji Zishan couldn't help but urged: "Go quickly."

To be honest, Ji Zishan only knew Ning Yufei. Although the other two had just introduced themselves, Ji Zishan did not remember who they were. She looked at Ning Yufei with a little puzzled look. It would be fine if the other two were nervous and shy, but Ning Yufei blushed and charming.

She would post a post to Ning Yufei for viewing flowers because she wanted to enjoy flowers and make friends. She invited other unrelated noble girls, but she left her uncle's cousin and wouldn't look very good. That's why she invited Ning Yufei to enjoy flowers. However, judging from her current performance, did she misunderstand something.

Ji Zishan silently complained in her heart: If her Empress Dowager's mother intends to let her be her daughter-in-law, she wouldn't have to use this operation.

Seeing Ji Zishan speak unhappily, the three of them hesitated for a while and made up their minds and shook out the arrows that had already been squeezed out of sweat.

There were three muffled sounds of ‘Bang bang’, and after the three arrows hit the wall of the pot, they all jumped out again.

Seeing this, Ji Zishan, who was both a contestant and a referee, said: "The three people in the first group will be eliminated and replaced with the second group." After Ji Zishan announced, the three people, including Ning Yufei, retreated aside with annoyance.

She lost the qualification for the competition just after throwing an arrow. Ning Yufei's heart was suddenly frustrated and she almost wanted to cry on the spot. Her mother told her to perform well, but she lost such a big face from the beginning. She didn't know what the Empress Dowager's aunt and the Emperor's cousin would think of her. As for this, she mustered up the courage to look at the distance. She saw that the Empress Dowager's aunt was still smiling and talking to Princess Lian. As for the Emperor's cousin... she tilted her head slightly, not knowing what she was saying to the eldest prince.

When Ning Yufei was distracted, the first throwing pot in the second round had already come to an end. Only Ji Ziluo's team made the shot. Ji Zishan and Gao Miaomiao's team did not make it in again. Seeing this, Ji Zishan said to the palace maid who was making the record: "Remember the princess' team once, um, the elimination of the unstopped, the people behind will make up." After saying that, he turned to Ji Ziluo and smiled, "Sister Aluo, congratulations on being one step ahead."

Ji Ziluo said in a very modest way: "It's still early before the competition ends. What's the point of leading now? Playing with a pot is as simple as drinking water. In the end, I'm afraid it's just that Miaomiao and I will congratulate you."

At this time, another pot was thrown to the fruit, and Ji Ziluo and Gao Miaomiao's team were both hit, but Ji Zishan's team was still lost. Seeing this, Ji Zishan announced the result first, and then raised a bitter face to Ji Ziluo and Gao Miaomiao and said, "Why can't my team always make a shot?"

Ji Ziluo knew that it was because of his nervousness, but he smiled and said, "Anyway, with you as a god pitcher, you can't lose."

Gao Miaomiao also smiled and said, "That's right, every time you competed with you, you shot the most. If you want me to tell me, your team is just waiting for you to turn the tide."

While speaking, another pot was thrown to the pot, and this time only Gao Miaomiao won the team, and Ji Zishan and Ji Ziluo's team were both failed.
