Chapter 24:

Today is the elder princess's flower viewing banquet, and there is news that the queen mother and the queen will be coming. There are more official ladies coming than in previous years, and all kinds of carriages are parked at the gate of the princess's mansion.
Tang Lihua got out of the carriage with the help of her mother-in-law. Wang Cuilian and Wang Cuiyao also followed. After they reported that they had presented the invitation, they came to the backyard under the guidance of the servants of the Princess.
You can smell the fragrance of flowers in the air as soon as you enter the mansion, and then you enter the backyard. The garden is full of flowers and plants, red and yellow interlaced, and green and green are really bright.
The backyard of the Long Princess Mansion is very large. Today, we are going to entertain everyone. There are tables and chairs made of fine pear wood. On each table, tea and fruit snacks are placed. Five or six tables are filled with people.
"Old lady, please." The maid of the Long Princess Mansion asked Tang Lihua to sit on the seventh table on the right.
At the same time, another maidservant respectfully said to Wang Cuilian and Wang Cuiyao, "The two ladies are on the other side, please come with the servants."
Seeing her grandma nodded to herself, Wang Cuilian smiled at Wang Cuiyao, motioned to her not to panic, and said to the maid, "I will trouble you to lead the way."
Completely calm and calm, Wang Cuilian has always been like this in front of outsiders, and she is like a lady, and Wang Cuiyao has seen such scenes many times when she was a koi, and she was not afraid of it.
The fact that the two of them acted like this made the maid who led them take another look. The maid obeyed her aunt’s assignment. She knew that these two young ladies were the fourth-class elders in the family, and they had just been able to come up to the flower banquet. Threshold.
Although they are only the four-ranked lords, the two have such a blue temperament, their clothes and dress are not inferior to the ladies of the various houses, and they are even better in appearance and temperament, and the aunt also ordered not to be negligent.
She is the grand maid of the Long Princess Mansion. Naturally, she knows that the master above attaches great importance to this flower viewing feast. The rumors are almost true. I am afraid that the nobles in the palace are really going to come to the mansion. Yesterday they were chosen to serve. The maid, half a month ago, the aunts had prepared for the face.
These two young ladies should be here for the nobles in the palace. Otherwise, how could it be possible that they had never seen the flower viewing banquet before. Thinking of this, the maid became a little envious, and then abandoned these distracting thoughts in her mind and concentrated on lead the way.
Wang Cuilian and Wang Cuiyao didn’t know the thoughts of this maid. They only knew that they came to the flower viewing banquet. They didn’t know everything else. While walking like this, the two of them were still in a good mood to admire the flowers and plants, and they talked sometimes. Cozy and safe.
However, after turning around a long corridor, they saw another scene. The two of them felt a little clear. It seems that this flower viewing banquet separates the elders from the younger ones.
Tang Lihua is full of old ladies and old ladies. The scene is peaceful. The ladies take care of the face of each house, and their voices are deliberately suppressed during conversation.
When I arrived at Wang Cuilian and Wang Cuiyao, I heard Yingying Yanyan's conversation before I walked in. The air was full of fine powder with floral fragrance, which smelled very good.
The two sisters were also seated at one of the tables under the guidance of the maidservant. The arrival of the two only attracted others to take another look. When they saw their appearance, they were more alert in their eyes, just watching again. When they were seated in the most corner position, that alert disappeared.
In addition to them, there are two other ladies on this table. They are all Xiaojiabiyu-shaped. The two seem to be familiar with each other. They are talking about something. Seeing Wang Cuilian and Wang Cuiyao, there is a little surprise in their eyes, and they wait until they sit down. Next, he cast a tentative look.
Wang Cuilian saw that Cuiyao's temperament was relatively cold. This is similar to when she was a child. She didn't like to talk to strangers. She used to go out with her grandma at the time. She was always free, and she learned to be outside in the past two years. The front end of the human face is solemn and reserved.
Under such circumstances, as an elder sister, Wang Cuilian took the lead, holding up a gentle and harmless smiling face, "Dare to ask how the two elder sisters are called?"
After a friendly conversation, Wang Cuilian figured out the identities of the two young ladies. The face of Miss Huang was slightly rounder, and the father of Miss Huang was Tai Chang Shaoqing, who was a fourth-ranked student. Yin.
"My grandmother at home insists that I come here." Miss Huang complained in a low voice, and pointed to the very enthusiastic ladies who were talking together, "Those are the ones to watch today, we are all Come with me."
Miss Li is not as courageous as her girlfriends, she hurriedly pulled her finger pointing at others, "If you know it in your heart, don't lose politeness."
Wang Cuilian became a little interested in seeing the two of them, "What does this mean, is it not here to enjoy the flowers today?"
Although Wang Cuiyao on the side did not speak, her bright eyes looked at the two opposite people, full of curiosity.
This is not a secret that cannot be said, Miss Huang is talking a lot, and immediately introduced to Wang Cuilian with great interest.
After hearing her words, Wang Cuilian and Wang Cuiyao glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, but they did not speak at this moment in a tacit understanding.
"Have you seen the lady in the pink dress on the left front?" Miss Huang said. Wang Cuilian and Wang Cuiyao subconsciously looked over and saw the pink dress women surrounded by the crowd, nodding together.
Miss Huang continued, "She is the lord of Changle County, and her father is Lord Yu."
Wang Cuiyao's brows moved. She had an impression of the name, as if she had heard Pingyang say it several times. Pingyang often complained that the Changle princess always pestered the Sanhuang brother, and said that it would be fine if Yao sister is the Sanhuangsao.
At that time, Wang Cuiyao's face was hot, and she quickly stopped Pingyang's nonsense, but now thinking of that, there is still an abnormal emotion in her heart, and Li Zetian's handsome face appeared in her mind. Wang Cuiyao felt her own face. There was a tendency to get hot again, so I hurriedly diverted my attention.
Ms. Huang suppressed her voice extremely low, as long as the four of them could hear her clearly, "Princess Changle has a heart, and this time she is bound to win the position of the three princes and concubines."
Wang Cuiyao was not unexpected, but Wang Cuilian moved a little bit bigger, and almost knocked over the tea cup beside her hand. Seeing the other three people looking at her, Wang Cuilian calmed down and explained with a smile, "I'm just a little surprised, you continue. "
Ms. Huang and Ms. Li didn't think too much, but Wang Cuiyao looked at it a little more in his heart, and then paid a little attention to her cousin.
"The three princes are beautiful, and many of the ladies in Beijing admire him. Not only are the Changle princesses, some of you should be thinking of the three princes and concubines, but only two can compare with the Changle princess. , One is Princess Gaole of Royal Palace, and the other is Princess Changning, the daughter of Princess Long." Miss Huang said, sighing.
"These three are of first-class appearance and family background, and I don't know which empress dowager likes."
Ms. Li trimmed her dress and patted her forehead lightly, "It's not us anyway, don't think these are useless."
It can be seen that the relationship between the two is very close, and they should have known each other for a long time. Miss Huang covered her forehead and pouted her dissatisfaction, "I'm just talking, and it doesn't matter. Besides, the two sisters Wang are all very good-looking. Yes, I am very happy to see it. If the three princes take a fancy, it is not impossible to become the three princes."
Knowing that she was a joke, Wang Cuiyao's heart jumped, and she looked at her cousin subconsciously, but saw that Wang Cuilian's expression was rather weird, seemingly joyful and longing, but also repelling and resisting. These two extreme emotions made Wang Cuiyao unable to see through. .
I don’t know if she felt it. Wang Cuilian looked at Wang Cuiyao at the same time, and she naturally caught the blush on her face. She understood in her heart that now it seems that her sister and the three princes are in love, but they did not express their affection. .
Suddenly, a feeling of jealousy arose in my heart.
Again!
Wang Cuilian frowned in disgust. The feeling of being out of control was really disgusting, as if she was always reminding herself that she should love the three princes.
So when you hear others talking about the Third Prince, your heartbeat should speed up, and when you realize that the Third Prince is pleased with others, you should be jealous.
It's just love or admiration, Wang Cuilian knows herself. Although disturbed by these strange emotions, Wang Cuilian clearly realizes that she has no love for the three princes.
The more this happened, the more disgusted Wang Cuilian was. After a while, she managed to suppress these emotions that shouldn't belong to her. Wang Cuilian returned to normal, smiled at Wang Cuiyao's worried gaze and made a mouth shape. "I'm fine."
Wang Cuiyao witnessed Wang Cuilian facing herself, her eyes changed from jealousy and resentment to panic, her face was pale for a moment, and finally turned into coldness. Wang Cuiyao intuitively felt that it was not for herself, but for something unknown.
Wang Cuiyao couldn't tell why she had such an idea, but she believed it very firmly.
Miss Huang changed the subject again, a little excited, "If you can see the Empress Dowager and the Empress Empress today, you won't lose money on this trip."
When the other three heard this, they laughed and joked. They talked and laughed. The atmosphere was very harmonious. There were maids waiting by the side at any time, and the refreshments were filled immediately when they were short.
In this way, only the four of them seemed to have come to the flower viewing banquet.
Tang Lihua is not so lively here. They are all ladies and old ladies. The seats are separated. There is a table for one person. People who are familiar with each other will talk quietly. Tang Lihua does not know these people, so she sits and drinks by herself. tea.
After that, Tang Lihua also heard a lot of information through the conversations between these ladies. She said it was the same as the treasurer Qian. This flower viewing banquet was a blind date banquet for the princes by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother gave herself a reward. Huayan, the meaning is also very clear, it is directed at Wang Cuiyao.
However, if you want to become the three princes, you still have to have a family background. The Wang family has only one of his own rank and no power. In this case, Wang Cuiyao will not be so easy to become the three princes.
In the plot of the novel, it is also because the queen dowager loves the male protagonist. Even if the queen looks down on Wang Cuiyao, she still supports her, and the female protagonist has a koi aura in her body, and she is a smart person.
When the enemy country came, the three princes were ordered to go on the expedition. Wang Cuiyao, regardless of the danger, accompanied him, as a man as a military commander, saw through the fine work sent by the enemy country, prevented the destruction of grain and grass, and even stood an arrow for the three princes on the battlefield. .
After returning from the big victory, Wang Cuiyao was appointed as the princess by the Queen Mother, so no one objected.
Thinking of this, Tang Lihua's eyes darkened. Now Wang Cuiyao is her granddaughter. Although she is only a fourth-grade countryman, she can't let her granddaughter be underestimated.
