Reborn Medicine Daughter

Chapter 114: Hundred Flowers Feast (1)
"Miss, the princess's invitation has arrived."

Qingteng took an exquisite invitation card and sent it to Su Xinli. Su Xinli took it, opened the invitation card, and the first thing that came into view was the words "Hundred Flowers Banquet" in large gold-plated characters.

Every year about ten days before the Flower Festival, the Eldest Princess will send invitations to invite the young masters and young ladies who have status in Beijing to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet hosted by her. It is to perform talents, and then the eldest princess and a few distinguished guests specially invited by her will select the Hundred Flowers Girl, that is, the leader. If she wins the title of Hundred Flowers Girl in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she will definitely be the Queen at the Flower Festival. The imperial concubine and the princes are all in the spotlight and favor.

Su Xinli took the invitation card and looked at it. This invitation card was made of the best paper, with the pattern of plum blossoms on it. Su Xinli put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it. There was a faint fragrance. It's tangy, refreshing, and very pleasant.

The eldest princess is Wentao and Wulue, with outstanding military achievements, she is a heroine among women, and has won the appreciation of His Majesty. She is like a legend in Liuli. She herself does not like these fragrant and pink things, but the son-in-law is a gentle literati , this elegant invitation to the Hundred Flowers Banquet came from him.

In fact, the eldest princess is not the late emperor's biological daughter, but the daughter of General Xie Huai'an, the bodyguard who grew up with the late emperor. At that time, General Xie, who was closest to him, rushed forward without hesitation. Nan Wang was skilled in archery, and the arrow was shot with strength. Xie Huaian died before he returned to the barracks. Before he died, he told the late emperor to take good care of his wife. Son, General Xie's wife hanged herself at home when she heard the news of her husband's death. The late Emperor and Xie Huai'an were playmates who grew up together and had a deep relationship. General Xie died to save her. He was young and only had one daughter. After Xie's death, the late emperor took General Xie's orphan into the palace, named her Princess Yong'an, gave her the title of head, took her with her, and taught her personally. The empress is even more honorable, because at that time the first emperor went out several times without the empress, only the eldest princess. Her honor and status are simply beyond the reach of ordinary princesses. In the deep palace, no eunuch or court lady dared to chew her tongue behind her back.

Of course, other princesses were not convinced that the first emperor loved the eldest princess so much. There was once a princess who went to the eldest princess to settle accounts, saying that she was not the first emperor's daughter, that she was not a real princess at all, and that she did not deserve to be treated like a princess. Seeing that these real princesses were going to bow down, this matter came to the late emperor, and the late emperor directly beat the princess forty times, and the princess's mother and queen were also thrown into the cold palace. Jiaoyin's nuns and personal female officials were all executed, which also shows that the late emperor was a person who valued love and righteousness, and was most affectionate and sexual.

From then on, those princesses who thought they were superior no longer dared to take advantage of their status to despise the Eldest Princess, and those concubines in the harem would show courtesy to the Eldest Princess.

When the first emperor was alive, he had already established a prince, not the current emperor. 12 years ago, King Wen, the current emperor, took advantage of the late emperor's illness to kill the prince's family, and then forced the palace to let the first emperor write a letter to abdicate. In addition to loving the eldest princess, the first emperor The one who dotes on is the benevolent prince. After knowing his sad news, he firmly disagreed with the edict to pass on the throne. It was the eldest princess who persuaded the late emperor to put Liuli and Liuli's people as the most important thing. The late emperor took the overall situation into consideration, so he wrote the edict to pass on the throne. The late emperor was already ill. In the end, he couldn't bear the death of his beloved son and the blow of King Wen's rebellion. He died two days later. The border is stable, and the peasant uprising will not break out when the regime changes. At that time, the Cheng family, the Zhongyonghou Mansion, and the eldest princess were divided into three groups. The eldest princess went to Xiyue at that time. Although she won a complete victory in this battle, However, she was seriously injured and could no longer bear children. She and her son-in-law had only one daughter.

After the eldest princess came back triumphantly, her two-year-old daughter was named Princess Huai'an, enjoying the treatment of a county king, and having a fief, which was more noble than the princess born to the queen. The princess said good things for the first emperor before he died, so that he would not be charged with usurping the throne. In addition, she tried her best to make up for the guilt of the eldest princess, but even so, the eldest princess still did not forgive the emperor. Very distant from him.

The reason why Su Xinli was able to know these secrets was because of Yan Siming. In order to ascend to the throne, he investigated the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the important members of the royal family. It can be said that the eldest princess is a military general. Her two uncles are also childhood sweethearts, so they are very close to Dingguo's mansion. Originally, the first emperor wanted to give her to her second uncle, but the eldest princess already had her own heart at that time, that is, the current son-in-law, and declined. The second uncle married the second uncle before the first emperor announced the matter. Speaking of which, the reason why the eldest princess was able to stay with the son-in-law was because she owed a favor to Duke Dingguo. You like the eldest princess, otherwise, how could you disobey the holy order just because of her reluctance?When Yan Siming married her, did he also want to use her to get the support of the eldest princess?
"Miss Miaoxue, Second Miss, and Third Miss have all received invitations."

This Hundred Flowers Banquet was actually a blind date. Su Muling was only eight years old and an unknown concubine, so she was naturally not included in the invitation.

"Miss, are you going?"

Su Xinli put away the invitation, looked at Qingteng, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you go?"

If it wasn't for the accident that happened to her mother and brother when she was ten years old, she would have gone there. In the first year of mourning, she was not allowed to participate in any activities. In the second year, Aunt Fang gave Su Boran a lot of pillow talk. She was sent to visit her mother's grave, but it was Su Miaoxue who made a lot of limelight at the banquet. In her previous life, she had been lying on the bed because of being frightened, and her reputation was almost ruined by Aunt Fang and Su Miaoxue at that time. Su Miaoxue performed well at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and her talent was spread. Everyone in Jingling said that the prime minister had a unparalleled daughter who was both beautiful and intelligent. The court festival was also appreciated by the queen.

First daughter?She is really ashamed to admit that, sure enough, people are shameless and invincible in the world. The reason why Aunt Fang was able to be righted in her previous life was not only her contribution in Dingguo's mansion, Su Miaoxue's face made Su Boran see the value is also a big aspect, In this life, she wants to see, who can stop her from participating in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, who dares to stop her from going?With her, the concubine daughter of the prime minister's mansion, who would still see an adopted daughter?
"Let a few young ladies go to the storeroom, choose the colors they like, and make some new clothes, and let the fourth young lady come with them."
