The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 190 Going to the banquet and reuniting old friends

People say that the day of June is the face of a child.But Yun Xi felt that July was not much better, and the weather also changed at will.

The sky was still clear in the morning, but not long after lunch, it was immediately covered with dark clouds.At that time, Yun Xi had a whim, and took out some books in the study to dry them in the sun.Finding that the weather was not right, he immediately put the books away with a few maidservants.

After they collected all the books, the heavy rain poured down like this.

The rain in summer comes quickly and goes quickly.In just a quarter of an hour, the rain gradually diminished, from the pea-sized rain in front to the thread-like drizzle.

The spring equinox happened to come back from the outside. When she went out, she never thought it would rain, and she didn't bring an umbrella at all. Although it was raining, she hid under the eaves in time, but inevitably, her clothes and hair were partly wet.

Yun Xi instructed: "Go take a shower and change your clothes first, put them on wet, and be careful of catching a cold."

Equinox nodded.

During the Chinese New Year, the weaving carts she had ordered in Fenghuang County had already been completed, among which Honggu had someone send over a hundred of them, and the spring equinox was personally commanded by the past wharf to deliver these weaving carts to the factory.It's just that I didn't expect bad luck, and it suddenly rained on the way back.

Chun Equinox nodded, and after freshening up, she appeared in front of Yun Xi refreshed, "Girl, the people in Baiyijiao said that this spinning car, after getting started, the cloth produced in an hour is the original cloth." Twice. And the women workers said it was easier with this."

Yun Xi nodded, considering the efficiency, no matter how good the treatment they give, they won't lose money.

Yun Xi said: "Since the spinning wheel has arrived and the factory building has been built, we can start recruiting female workers from the capital."

Li Qiu said beside him: "Those notices have already been posted."

The textile factory was mainly run in the name of Honggu.

Yun Xi said: "After the female workers start to be recruited, I'll also go over to have a look, um, let's go over to have a look at the hot spring village by the way."

The hot spring village has almost been built. At first, it was thought that there would only be six built, but in the end there was one more.With seven hot spring Zhuangzi in hand, Yun Xi will become the person with the most hot spring Zhuangzi in the capital.

Adding the two that Yun Shen gave her, that's nine.

"But Yunyao hasn't come back yet?" The girl Yunyao is also non-stop, and she is already writing her third novel. What makes Yun Xi quite interesting is that the third book is the so-called divorce flow.The heroine who was considered to be beautiful and brainless was divorced by her fiancé, but behind her was a disciple of a medical sage with multiple identities.One is a stunning young lady who disguises herself as a man in the Nanfeng Pavilion. In fact, she is the behind-the-scenes controller of the Nanfeng Pavilion, using this information to collect information.The second is the daughter of the Hou family who is famous for being an idiot.The third is a genius doctor who sees money and is about to die.

It's just because the third book involves more and there are many things Yunyao doesn't understand, so Yunyao ran out for a stroll in the name of going out to collect materials.Even if she can't beat her, she can still run. With Populus euphratica and Gu Yu by her side, Yun Xi is not worried about her safety.

Yin Dan came out with a freshly cooked snack and said, "I didn't see Miss Yunyao coming back."

Yun Xi felt that although Yun Yao always acted coquettishly and cutely in front of her, she was quite organized when doing things outside, so she just asked a question.

After eating half a plate of snacks, Yun Yao came back.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Yun Xi couldn't help laughing, "Why, did something good happen?"

Yun Yao pursed her lips and smiled: "I met General Ji's grandson Ji outside. He is so stupid, he actually regarded a swindling gangster as a real master, and wanted to worship him as a teacher. Seeing as he is For the sake of my fans, of course I couldn't let him suffer, so I beat up that liar severely."

Yun Yao asked curiously: "But elder sister, the Ji family is a family of generals, and there are many masters under their sect, so why hasn't there been a decent teacher so far this Ji? He is also General Ji's favorite grandson."

The corners of Yun Xi's mouth curled up, "The Ji family is good at wide open and close saber techniques, and all the masters under him are also good at this aspect, but Ji has no knowledge of saber techniques so far, and the Ji family usually only It can teach him some physical fitness or boxing skills. Cheats are not something that can be obtained casually."

Thinking about it this way, she felt that she was simply a hungry man who was hungry when she was full.She was very lucky. Not long after crossing, she met Yun Shen, and was even taught the supreme kung fu by him, and she even benefited from bringing Yun Yao along.

It was only later that I learned that even the above-average martial arts cheats can still attract many people in the arena.

Yun Yao suddenly realized, and said: "So that's how it is. That charlatan said that he has the legendary Vajra Mask, which makes him invulnerable to swords and guns, and that kid was taken aback for a while."

Yun Yao seemed to think this was very funny, she kept covering her mouth and laughing.

Yin Dan suddenly came in with an invitation card, "Girl, this is an invitation card from the eldest princess' mansion."

Yun Xi took the post, only to find out that it was the 45th birthday party of the Eldest Princess Yue Yue.

Yin Dan said: "I heard that the Eldest Princess has invited many young talents and famous ladies from the capital, at least hundreds of people have received invitations, so the banquet was held in the Glazed Garden."

The Liuguang Garden was bestowed on Princess Duanchang five years after Chu Xiyuan ascended the throne.When the first emperor was alive, he loved concubine Shen Gui very much, and even built the Glazed Garden for his concubine, which cost millions of taels.The most famous and exquisite part of Liuguang Garden is to create a glazed pavilion with glass and colored glaze on the lake. Walking on it is like walking on the water. The sun still shines on the colored glaze, reflecting gorgeous light, which is too beautiful to behold. .

It's a pity that this Concubine Shen is unlucky, the prince born under her knee died of smallpox before she was seven years old, she was also hit hard by this, and she was lingering in the bed of illness, and passed away within half a year.That former emperor really loved her, he made the little prince Prince Rui, and even wanted to make Concubine Shen a queen.At that time, the Empress Empress was still alive.

Later, it was because the objections of the ministers were not established, but after the death of Shen Guifei, the first emperor followed him in less than a year.To be honest, the death of these two people made Da Chu heave a sigh of relief.

Chu Xiyuan was the eldest son at that time, but if his younger brother hadn't died, he might not have won the throne.He is even less interested in the so-called Glazed Light Garden, which witnessed the love between the first emperor and Concubine Shen, but the Glazed Light Garden is really exquisite and beautiful, if it is left there for nothing, it will be a waste.So he simply rewarded Princess Duanchang.

Yun Xi, Yun Yao and Du Zhou were invited on the post.But there is no Dodo's name.After all, in everyone's eyes, Dodo is Yun Xi's distant cousin, and her relationship is not as close as Yun Yao and Du Zhou's.However, Dodo doesn't like to attend these banquets, sometimes Yun Xi will take her out in order to let her know more people.

It's just that Princess Duanchang in the past, even if it was her birthday, at most she would invite a few good friends to have a banquet, not as much fanfare as this time.Yun Xi thought of the Su Muzhe incident that had been raging these past few days, and somewhat understood what the eldest princess meant.

A few days ago, Lu Yiran said that her future son-in-law had already been decided to be Su Muzhe.

Who is Su Muzhe? People in the capital can know after a little inquiring.That is the stunning young lady who caused Ye Minxing and Lu Yiran to be jealous. Even if he is innocent, he has already been bought by Lu Yiran, but his former identity is still there.Such a person, even a small family, may not be willing to marry his daughter to him, let alone a favored princess as a county horse.It's fine if it's just for fun in person, but she still acts like true love, so it's up to him.

Many princes and grandsons who pursued Lu Yiran were trampled under their feet by this one, and they were extremely dissatisfied: Doesn't this mean that they are no better than a young lady?
Naturally, there was a lot of opposition, and many people felt that Lu Yiran's move was too absurd.It's just that Lu Yiran seemed to be fascinated by Su Muzhe, and he was determined to make him a county horse.

Coupled with the fact that Su Muzhe's eyes are blue, like the finest emeralds, good-looking is good-looking, but many people think that his blood is not pure, and he is not from Dachu, so their opinions are even greater.

Lu Yiran turned a deaf ear to these voices of opposition, and took Su Muzhe to go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers every day, feeling very happy.

The reason why Princess Duanchang invited so many young talents was because she didn't have the idea of ​​choosing a suitable county horse from them.

However, Yun Xi felt that this difficulty was not ordinary.She basically knows the famous young masters in the capital, and has seen some of them who are famous for their looks, and none of them can compare to that of Su Muzhe.Well, except for his Yunshen family.

However, Yun Shen is already famous, and Princess Duanzhang is not the kind of person who acts willfully and recklessly, but is quite reasonable, so naturally she won't hit Yun Shen with her idea, and she will take the next best thing to see if she can find someone else. object.

She thought about it, since she would come to the door empty-handed, she must bring some congratulatory gifts.Princess Duanchang loves luxurious peonies more than orchids.In the Yunxi courtyard, there are quite a few peonies now, and the black peonies will be reserved as a congratulatory gift for the emperor's birthday banquet.

What should I give Princess Duanchang?

Yun Xi's eyes fell on Luoyang Hong in the yard.In her yard, five plants of Luoyanghong are planted, the most of which can even bloom more than 300 peonies, and each plant has a simple and vigorous shape.Each plant is at least two meters high...

Even though it is already July, which is the season for peonies to bear fruit, the peonies in the yard are still blooming because of her supernatural power.

Yun Xi felt that at that time, one could be transplanted as a birthday gift for her. Anyway, she had investigated at this time, and a peony plant could only have dozens of flowers at most. Where could there be such a peony tree?Not to mention, the flowering period is still so long.

Together with her, Yunyao and Du Zhoushi represent the Du family, so the three of them only need to send one gift.

……

After about ten days, the textile factory really recruited about a hundred female workers.This is also related to the efforts of Mu Tongtong and others to post announcements.This textile factory has also been registered in the government, and because of the support of Yun Xi, the Princess Ming, no one dares to cause trouble.

In addition, the hot spring village was also built, so Yun Xi took Yun Yao and Duo Duo to have a look.Duo Duo is now a saintess of the White Clothes Sect, and her martial arts has improved rapidly in just half a year, which puts a lot of pressure on Yun Yao.

In the absence of Aunt Hong, Dodo has the highest status among the girls in white clothes in the capital, so Mu Tongtong and others naturally have to ask her first if they have anything to do.After Duoduo took over these tasks, she has grown a lot.

Li Yushi didn't know her status as a saint. She only thought of her as a granddaughter because she had more knowledge, and with the guidance of two aunts in the palace, there was such a change.

This is also because Yun Xiping often helps Duoduo to cover up.

Several people set off for the textile factory in a bullock cart.

The textile factory has officially started work now. When you walk into the field, you can only see a hundred female workers spinning seriously, and you can only hear the sound of the spinning wheel, and there are no other unnecessary sounds.The youngest of these female workers is 12 years old, and the oldest is 50 years old.

Every hour of work, let them take a break.Yun Xi also promoted eye exercises by the way.Work is important, eyes are more important.I usually add some goji berry, honeysuckle and other things that can improve eyesight in the water they drink.These medicinal herbs are planted in Yunxi's field.

Yun Xi looked around and saw that everyone was concentrating on their work, and didn't want to disturb them, so she went to the kitchen instead.

The kitchen was preparing lunch for these women workers at this time, and there were three cooks in charge.Yun Xi took a look. The lunch meal consisted of stewed potatoes with braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, radish and big bone soup, plus a pickle.

She looked at the meat dish, and found that there was a lot of meat in it, the ratio of potatoes to potatoes was about one to two. It was not the kind of meat dish that only tasted like meat but couldn't eat meat.It can be seen that the food for the female workers of the spinning wheel is still acceptable.

As for the dormitory, she has already seen it before, so there is no need to visit it.

Coming out of the factory, Yun Xi went to visit the hot spring Zhuangzi instead.In the past few days, each Zhuangzi has been cleaned several times from the inside to the outside, and it is very clean, but no flowers and plants have been planted in the Zhuangzi, and it looks a little bare.

After all, these servants will not help Yun Xi decide without authorization.

Yun Xi looked at them one by one. Although she had seen the design drawings before, the design drawings were different from what she saw with her own eyes. Yun Xi looked at the seven Zhuangzi one by one, feeling 12 points satisfied in her heart.

The two largest hot spring villages have a size of [-] mu, but these [-] mu can't be all hot springs, and the hot spring pool is about a few mu in size.

The smallest Zhuangzi is ten mu in size.

Yun Xi turned to Duoduo and Yun Yao and said, "It depends on which one you like, and you can choose one yourself."

Even if she gave away three sets, she still has six sets with Yun Shen on hand, which can be said to be rich and powerful.

Duoduo chose the smallest one. According to her, there were several plum trees in the village originally, and no plum trees were transplanted during the construction process.

Yun Yao chose a medium-sized one, and after the selection, the three of them returned home, and Yun Xi quickly transferred the ownership of those hot springs.She directly gave the big one to Du Zhou and the others.Speaking of which, most of the materials and silver for the construction of Zhuangzi this time were paid by Du Zhou and Yun Yao. After all, they didn't want to take things from their niece for nothing.

Of course, the transfer of the Du family's hot spring village cannot be hidden from others. After a while, many people knew that Yun Xi was lucky enough to find a suitable place to build a hot spring village.However, some people wanted to buy one with Yun Xi.

Yun Xi still refused one by one.She is not short of money, and Hot Spring Zhuangzi is a typical real estate that can appreciate in value, so she is stupid to sell it now.

Putting her identity on there, after showing her attitude, no one would dare to snatch her by force, she just muttered in her heart: This Du Yunxi has so many hot spring villages in her hands, and she can't soak it.

Even if Yun Xi knew what they were thinking, the most she could do was respond with "I'm happy".

She is happy to hold several Zhuangzi's satisfaction in her hands.

On July 22, Yun Xi personally ordered to dig up one of the pots of Luoyang red and transfer it to a huge flower pot that had been customized in advance.

When waiting for the 23rd, get up early, and after dressing up, the family set off for Liuguang Garden together.As for the peony tree, it was sent to the eldest princess's mansion one step ahead of them.

After about half an hour, they finally arrived at the Glazed Garden.Outside the Glazed Light Garden are all gorgeous cars of various colors, and many people arrived earlier than them.

Yun Xi and the others got out of the carriage, showed the card in her hand, and the concierge graciously invited them in.In fact, even if you don't show the post, you can get in just by relying on Yun Xi's face, commonly known as face card.

After all, she has a good relationship with Lu Yiran, and they have a lot of contacts on weekdays. The servants of the Princess Mansion have long remembered her face.

Yun Shen was on duty today, so he didn't come to attend the birthday banquet, but Yun Xi knew that he had already brought a gift over in advance.After all, when he was in the palace, he was also taken care of by the eldest princess.

A servant girl directly led the three of them to the garden. In fact, even if no one led them, they would not get lost. After all, there were quite a lot of people coming here at this time.It's just that Yun Xi didn't see any acquaintances, so she didn't bother to say hello to them.

Walking through the long corridor and strolling in the flower-filled garden, Yun Xi can be regarded as seeing the legendary Water Glass Pavilion.The glazed hall is located in the middle of the lake, looking from a distance, it looks like a diamond inlaid on a green emerald. Under the sunlight, it reflects colorful light from time to time, making the nearby lake more beautiful.

The bridge connecting the shore and the Liuli Pavilion is also made of crystal, and the whole looks like an exquisite work of art.

Yun Xi stopped and admired it for a while, then coughed and said, "Let's go."

Her voice also woke up Du Zhoushi and Yun Yao. When they came back to their senses, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous: their performance was so much like a bumpkin who had never seen the world, as if entering the capital for the first time, shocked The prosperity and majesty of the capital are the same.

Just looking back around, she found that other so-called aristocrats did not perform much better than them, and Yun Yao regained her mental balance in an instant.

Princess Duanchang doesn't open this glazed hall on weekdays, so there are really not many people in the capital who are lucky enough to see it.

When the three of them walked onto the bridge, they could clearly see the gurgling water under their feet, and even a few small fish passed through it nimbly, so they were not surprised.

Yun Xi was fine, she had seen similar scenes in her previous life, so her face was as calm as water.

The bridge is about 200 meters long, before Yun Xi finished walking, she heard the singing of warblers and swallows.There was no man's voice.

After thinking about it, she suddenly understood that those male customers might have been led to another place.

Walking into the museum, there is transparent glass under your feet, and there are koi swimming happily from time to time, but they never swim out of the scope of the museum.

Yun Xi understood, maybe the water below was also trapped, the girls were divided into small circles, and they gathered together to chat with their familiar friends.As for the noble ladies, they are holding a graceful and luxurious demeanor, talking about the family's shortcoming.For example, congratulate relatives and friends of this family on their promotion, and ask if the girl in this family is engaged.

Generally, on such occasions, everyone said good things.

In comparison, those girls who have not been out of the cabinet have not yet cultivated such a dignified and generous style, so they should appear more lively, and there are several koi swimming under their feet, laughing lightly from time to time.

Du Zhou saw Yang Yurong's mother, Yang Li, nodded with Yunxi, and walked towards Mrs. Yang.

Yun Xi looked around and saw Yang Yurong and her cousin, and Tao Huanhuan was also there, they were all acquaintances, and they also passed by holding Yun Yao's hand.

As soon as I walked over, I heard Tao Huanhuan say: "It's a pity that I can't even feed the fish because of the glass."

Li Lixiu, Yang Yurong's cousin, smiled and said, "Okay, you can take a big hammer and knock out a big hole in this piece of glass. Then, you can feed it however you like."

This Li Lixiu was the girl who was disfigured by accidentally falling from her horse earlier.

She turned her head to see Yun Xi, and instead of arguing with Tao Huanhuan, she gave her a bright smile.Because Yun Xi's Thousand Crane Ointment made all the scars on her face disappear, Li Lixiu was extremely grateful to Yun Xi.

A disfigured woman will not be so popular in the marriage market in the future.

As someone who was also rescued by Yun Xi, Tao Huanhuan held her hand affectionately when he saw her, "Yun Xi, you are here too."

Yun Xi nodded, and was about to say something when she suddenly saw a familiar figure, but it was Li Linglan, and beside her was a handsome woman who looked a little older than her.

Yun Xi couldn't help frowning, Li Linglan was also invited?She didn't think Princess Duanchang would invite her over.The girl next to her should be Li Linglan's first sister Li Lingmei.

Tao Huanhuan said in a low voice: "I heard that Li Linglan was grounded, but recently she cooks herself, washes her hands and makes soup, and her father and grandma like the food very much. Comfortable, so now her status in the Li family has become higher again."

Listening to Tao Huanhuan's description, Yun Xi couldn't help being startled. How could this situation seem similar?She also read reports in her previous life, saying that some hot pot restaurants would add poppy flower shells to the bottom of the pot, so that customers would get addicted after eating it, and would get hungry after a long time without eating.

She couldn't help muttering about this, it couldn't be true, she had never heard of Li Linglan's cooking skills before.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Yun Xi is determined not to eat anything that Li Linglan has touched.

"Why are you here too? I don't remember that my mother invited you." Lu Yiran was wearing a shocking bun and a bright red phoenix-tail skirt with gold threads, looking at Li Linglan with a faint disgust.

Li Linglan didn't seem to see the expression on Lu Yiran's face, she still had a faint smile on her face. Compared with her previous arrogant and self-willedness, now she looks a lot calmer, but the cloudiness in her eyes has also increased.

"My sister doesn't usually come out to participate. I was worried that she would not be used to being alone, so I came with her."

In fact, Li Lingmei was the only one who received the post from the Li family. As a result, Li Linglan regained her favor these few days because of her cooking, and even gained a higher status than before. When she acted like a baby with Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li ordered Li Lingmei take her.

Lu Yiran snorted through her nose, obviously guessing the reason for this. She turned to look at Li Lingmei with a slight smile on her face, "Your complexion has improved a lot recently. Well, this is the first daughter-in-law. What a style."

Li Linglan's face changed slightly when she heard this, but it was only for a moment.After the previous setbacks, she had done a pretty good job of hiding her emotions.

The other girls who heard the conversation looked at Li Linglan with a little bit of disdain in their eyes - they really hadn't seen Li Linglan who knew she was unpopular, but still brazenly approached her.

Facts proved that Li Linglan was not the only one with a thick skin, and soon there was another person.

Everyone looked at Liu Weishuang standing behind the eldest princess Xu Huixi, their faces were full of shock.This was the first time everyone saw Liu Weishuang after nearly a year.

Liu Weishuang's belly protruded high, and her light blue dress made her even more beautiful.What surprised Yun Xi was that the scars on her face had been eliminated, and her skin was very good, white and tender with pink in it, as gorgeous as peaches and plums, even more beautiful than before.

Yun Xi knew in her heart that the Qianhe ointment sold in her store in the past few months had recorded names, and they were basically bought by those who were most in need. What is certain is that there must not be a bottle of them. In the hands of Liu Weishuang.I don't know what method she used, but it not only eliminated the scars on her face, but also made her look better.

She was originally bright and beautiful, but now she has an inexplicable charm that attracts people's eyes firmly to her.No, it should be said to be the charm of magic.

Liu Weishuang appeared in front of everyone with a calm demeanor, gently stroking her stomach with her hands.

Xu Huixi in front of her is indeed the eldest concubine selected by Chu Xiyuan, she is dignified and virtuous.The attitude towards Liu Weishuang is also gentle with just the right amount of concern.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and then they all looked away, but they were still paying attention to Liu Weishuang from the corner of their eyes.

You must know that she is also in August and September. During the period of childbirth, normal people would like to huddle at home, take good care of the fetus, and wait for delivery at any time.

Luckily Liu Weishuang came out to attend the banquet with the eldest concubine, if he accidentally fell and something happened...

Thinking of this, everyone felt that it was better to keep a distance from her, so as not to be implicated at that time.

Lu Yiran's brows were furrowed even more, and she said bluntly, "What are you doing here?"

Liu Weishuang just smiled, and said: "Princess Duanchang is a well-known blessed person in our Dachu, so I want to come here to enjoy a little happiness." When the first emperor was there, Princess Duanchang was just a little girl in the palace Be transparent, stay safe and keep yourself out of trouble.But I can't stand it. After Chu Xiyuan ascended the throne, he treated this sister very kindly, which made her status soar.

Lu Yiran sneered and said, "Who is my mother, and who are you, you deserve it too!"

This Liu Weishuang's character can't match her mother's even if she flatters her. She also wants to be blessed, so as not to bring bad luck.

Liu Weishuang just stroked her stomach and didn't say anything.

After hearing the confrontation, Xu Huixi said gently and politely: "Sister Liu is about to give birth, and my grandfather has been bored with her at home for a long time, so I want to take her out to relax."

Because Xu Huixi moved out the eldest prince Chu Long, Lu Yiran couldn't talk his head out of his head, and after a cold snort, "Something will really happen at that time, don't rely on our princess's house."

Xu Huixi wasn't angry either, she still had a friendly smile on her face, "Of course not. We were the ones who bothered you."

Then he took Liu Weishuang to choose a seat to sit down. Normally, Liu Weishuang was used as a concubine, and Xu Huixi should be sitting in the side room. She should be standing, but who made her pregnant.

Although Yun Xi didn't know the reason for Liu Weishuang's visit, it was probably nothing good.

She suddenly remembered that Liu Weishuang's birth was stillborn, and it was destined to be a monster.If it was born here, it would spread throughout the capital in the public.

As soon as such a thought arose, she suppressed it.Although she hated Liu Weishuang's viciousness, Lu Yiran was her friend.She also didn't want this incident to ruin Princess Duanchang's birthday banquet, even if she wanted to plan, she should wait until the birthday banquet was over.

Instead, she continued to chat with Tao Huanhuan and the others, and the one who talked most was Yun Xi, who was so beautiful.

Tao Huanhuan sighed and said, "The number of people we can recommend in a year is too small, and many people want to come in."

Yun Xi couldn't help laughing, "You recommend five, and if you continue to recommend five people, there will be 25 new people. As long as you are willing, sooner or later you will find someone who will help recommend you to join the club." But Yun Xi also set up a The trick is to start recommending people after joining the membership for one month.This month is actually the so-called inspection period.

But the first batch of people who received their membership cards and came to support her did not need a month.

Soon, Lu Yiran, who had exchanged pleasantries with others, also came over to join their chat team. After some familiar friends of Yun Xi also arrived, such as Dai Yanling, Tang Yifei...the team expanded a lot unconsciously, A small circle was formed.

When the time was up, the two maidservants beside Princess Duanchang approached gracefully and invited everyone to the garden, saying that those aristocratic princes were having a poetry competition and they needed everyone to make a selection.

Lu Yiran curled her lips disapprovingly, she was obviously not very interested in this, but she had to give her mother face.

The other girls thought it was quite interesting, and many of those who were invited were not engaged yet.Many of the sons invited by Princess Duanchang are very famous in the capital, including the so-called fourth son.

Everyone naturally wants to take this opportunity to get in touch.

The girls ran to the poetry competition, and as for their mothers, the women were led away to another place, with the princess.

……

When they arrived in the garden, they happened to be writing poems. According to the introduction of the little maid next to them, the theme of this round of poems was lotus. After all, when it comes to summer, the most impressive thing for everyone is the lotus.

The maid in purple also said that this poetry competition will be an elimination competition. There are a total of more than 70 people participating. In the first round, 32 best poems will be selected for the next round of competition. The themes are different, and finally the three most talented teenagers will be selected.

A maid next to her added: "If there is any young lady who is willing to compare with them, that's fine."

As soon as she said this, many noble ladies who thought they were talented and learned were moved. This is also a good opportunity to make a name for themselves.

It's just that they decided to look at the theme of the next round first.

Lotus, that is, lotus.Speaking of lotus, for Yun Xi, the phrase "comes out of mud but not stained, washes clear ripples but not demon", can be said to describe the character of lotus.

Not everyone ended up, and some people didn't participate in this competition.Among these people, the most obvious ones were the three handsome men. Seeing how respectful the others were to them, Yun Xi guessed that these three should be the so-called princes.Because their clothes are embroidered with dragon patterns.

Tao Huanhuan noticed her gaze and whispered in her ear; "The one on the far left is the third prince, the one in the middle is the eldest prince, and the one on the right is the second prince."

Yun Xi glanced at it, the eldest prince looked gentle and elegant.The second prince, the abolished prince, was the most handsome among the three, but perhaps because he was abolished, his brows and eyes were somewhat gloomy.As for the third prince, he was silent, exuding an aura of indifference.

When the stick of incense burns out, it means that there is no time left for these teenagers, and many of them have put down their pens before that.

Seeing the faint confidence on the faces of many people, Yun Xi regretted that Yun Shen was not around.Otherwise, with his ability, he would definitely shine here. Yun Xi got along with him a lot and knew his talent very well.

Unlike the people in the capital, Yun Shen's impression of Yun Shen is more due to his magnificent face and unrivaled elegant temperament, oh, and his character of vindictiveness.As for what they are good at and how talented they are, the people in the capital really don't know much about it.I only occasionally get a glimpse of his calligraphy that can be called a master and the poetry that occasionally leaks out.

On second thought, Yun Shen's absence is fine.In this way, only she knows how good he is.

The girl in purple gave each girl a copper coin, and when the time came, whichever poem she thought was better, she would put the copper coin on that poem.

In addition, there is a big servant girl who reads the poems one by one in a crisp voice, which saves the tragedy of many girls rushing to read the poems.

Yun Xi was surprised to find that she heard two familiar names among them——Hong Li and Xiao Yiyan.At that time, Wang Yutong sent two down-and-out students to impersonate them in order to tarnish Yun Xi's reputation.

Because of this reason, Yun Xi couldn't help but look at them more. These two are indeed young men with outstanding looks, Hong Li is more calm, and Xiao Yiyan is more ostentatious, full of youthful spirit.

The lotus poems of the two are indeed well written, and the scenes blend together.

These two are not low in popularity in the capital. When reading their poems, Yun Xi saw several girls blushing and whispering to their friends beside them.

She suddenly heard a soft sigh and turned her head, only to find that it was Yun Yao.

Yun Xi asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Yun Yao wrinkled her cute little face, "I think these poems all sound similar, and I can't tell which one is better." Yun Yao didn't like poetry and songs, but loved dancing with knives and guns more. If she was asked to choose someone with good skills, she could still speak clearly, but if she was asked to choose poetry, she would be blind.

Yun Xi smiled softly, "It's okay, just choose whichever you like the most."

Yun Yao's eyes rolled around, and then her expression froze on surprise.

Yun Xi followed her line of sight, but saw a handsome man who was quite familiar - just for a while, but couldn't remember where she saw it.

After a while, she heard Yunyao gnashing her teeth, "Deng Changming."

Yun Xi suddenly realized, no wonder it looks familiar, isn't this the same Deng Changming who saved Yunyao but also used them?After the Deng family was ransacked, the whole family was pardoned only in Deng Changming's house.Originally, Yun Xi thought that she would never have the chance to meet him again, but she never thought that the meeting would be on such an occasion.

He was actually one of the people invited by Princess Duanchang.

Yun Xi looked at Yun Yao's angry look beside her, but for some reason, she wanted to laugh.She lowered her voice, "Anyway, he is an acquaintance, do you want to vote for him?" This could be considered a reunion.

Yun Yao curled her lips and shook her head, "I don't want it, it's better to vote for Ji."

Ji Zhizhi was also one of those invited.

Yun Xi shook her head, and was about to say something when she suddenly felt that someone was about to bump into her.

With a very sensitive sense, her body flickered, and the man didn't hit Yun Xi, but due to the effect of inertia, she fell directly and fell to the ground.

The servant girl who was reciting poems was shocked by the movement and couldn't help but look over.

All eyes were on that man.

It was none other than Su Hongxing, Su Wan's half-sister, who was adopted as the adopted daughter of the Su family, and who was meant to be married to the deposed prince as a side concubine.
