Shengpingle

Chapter 108 Draft
Early the next morning, Su Xianyu posted a post and took A Li to Washington.

Su Xianyu used the title of thank you, and brought a generous gift. In addition to sending Hua Pingle's peony crown as promised, he also brought three other flower crowns to Princess Ninghe, Aunt Hua and Ling. Sister.

Aunt Hua was amazed when she saw it, "It looks exactly like flowers, can it really be immortal?"

Su Li smiled and said, "It should be possible, but it's my first time doing it. If it's not as good as my uncle's skill, please forgive me, the eldest princess and the eldest aunt."

Princess Ninghe looked at Su Xianyu with deep eyes. She remembered that Miss Huo often wore this kind of eternal flower at that time, and it was made by Mrs. Huo's own brother, Mr. Huo.

Later, Miss Huo died, and so did Mr. Huo, and she never saw this eternal flower again.

This kind of novel secret method, the Huo family does not pass it on to the outside world, it should be taken for granted.

She thought that the method of making the eternal flower would have disappeared with the death of Mr. Huo, but she didn't expect that Su Xianyu would do the same.

However, at that time, Su Xianyu was indeed very close to Mr. Huo——

Su Xianyu didn't stay for a meal, and went to Shangshutai to go on business after fulfilling the etiquette, leaving Su Li in Washington.

After Su Li came back from Qionglin Banquet last night, he saw that Su Xianyu was still making eternal flowers, so he went to help.

After Su Xianyu made Hua Ping Le's Crown World Moyu, he taught him carefully, and then guided him to make the corolla for Princess Ninghe and the others. .

After Su Xianyu left, Su Li enthusiastically wanted to teach Hua Pingle how to make eternal flowers.

Hua Pingle would not accept his kindness, so he nodded in agreement.

Su Li hurriedly told Bagu to go back to get the utensils, and Hua Pingle said to Princess Ninghe, "Grandmother, Ange and I will take Ah Li to play in my yard, so we won't disturb grandma and elder sister."

Princess Ninghe already liked Su Li, and after he gave Hua Pingle all the champion flowers, she was even more pleasing to the eye and happy to the thousand.

Although there are many smart and handsome young men in Beijing, this is the only young man who can be as smart and handsome as A Li, and like A Li, would rather offend the princess and give the champion flower to her granddaughter!

Alas, I only hate that her old woman only has two granddaughters. If she wants to have two more granddaughters, one for Jiu Fangfeng and one for Ah Li, her old woman will be satisfied for the rest of her life!
Princess Ninghe, who regretted that she did not have two more granddaughters, hurriedly said, "Go, go, treat Ang Geer well, and don't neglect our little champion Su."

He said to Su Li again, "It's rare that you don't study hard now, you are not allowed to leave today, stay here for a few more days, and then call Meng Jiang over.

I’ll find an opera troupe to sing for a few days, and let them play with you for a few days, sorry to see you, you don’t even have a bit of flesh when you’re so skinny.”

Su Li's eyes lit up, "Then, I'll ask uncle for instructions—"

Princess Ninghe interrupted him proudly, "What are you asking for instructions? I'll send someone to talk to him. If he dares not agree, my old woman will go and talk to him in person!"

Su Li smiled brightly, "Then Ah Li will thank the eldest princess."

It's good, after he recognized his aunt, he hasn't had a chance to talk to her alone!
Su Li followed Hua Pingle into the Hongyan Residence, and Hua Pingle ordered him to bring two large tables and put them in the yard for him to place those delicate and complicated tools.

Hua Ping'an was enthusiastic at first, but soon got annoyed and found an excuse to slip away, but Hua Ping Le learned to be patient and devoted.

She once mentioned learning from her elder brother, but he refused to teach. He smiled and said to her, "With my elder brother, Ah Yu can wear as many flowers as she wants, so there is no need to learn."

The elder brother refused to teach her, and Ah Li taught her, it was the same.

Hua Pingle, who was fiddling with the petals carefully and carefully, lost her usual flamboyant impetuosity, and the whole person calmed down.

Su Li looked at her, and suddenly thought of the "quiet, elegant and talented woman who can set an example for the noble ladies in the world" in Su Xianyu's mouth.

Such a calm and beautiful appearance is the original appearance of my aunt, right?

He only flipped through a few pages of the album full of Huo Ying's paintings before Su Xianyu came back.

Afterwards, he never had a chance to see it again.

When he came to Washington today, all he could think about was asking about Hua Pingle's picture album, but now seeing Hua Pingle like this, he felt that his anxious heart also calmed down.

The thoughts and thoughts that troubled him, irritated him, and even made him sleepless and restless all settled down into the tenderness and peace of mind at this moment, which made him unable to bear it, and he did not want to disturb the peace and beauty of this moment by bringing up those troublesome things.

Suddenly, he somewhat understood the reason why his uncle hadn't let go for so many years.

For such a beautiful person, even if she doesn't do anything, just staying by her side can make people's hearts soft, and then they will be greedy, and then, it will be unforgettable for a lifetime...

……

……

In the evening, Su Xianyu came to pick up Su Li.

Su Li was in junior high school and high school, not to mention anything else, Mrs. Luo and all the mentors of the Imperial College will definitely come to pay their respects. It is too late to be respectful.

Princess Ninghe was naturally not easy to stop, so she pulled Su Li to make him promise that he would stay in Washington for a few more days next time before letting him go.

Within a few days, Emperor Zhenghe suddenly issued an imperial edict to draft to enrich the harem, and all unmarried women of the right age for officials above the fourth rank in Beijing and localities were required to send their daughters into the palace.

There was a sudden explosion in Beijing, some regretted that their daughter's engagement was too early, and some regretted that their daughter's engagement was too late.

The one who regretted it the most was Mrs. Luo, who had been moaning and frowning for several days.

Grand Tutor Luo couldn't help scolding, "I've already mentioned it to the emperor, I don't want Yaoyao to enter the palace, but it's just a formality, what are you doing with a sad face all day long?"

Mrs. Luo poohed him, "You and the emperor mentioned it! You think the emperor is the first emperor, you have such a big face?

Our Yaoyao just has that face, so it is safe to be selected, no, I want to make a post and ask Xianyu to come."

Mrs. Luo wanted to stop it, but gave up.

He only had this granddaughter left, and he didn't dare to gamble with his weight in Zheng Hedi's heart.

It's not a big deal to be left or right, it's better to ask Xianyu to come, it's better to rest assured.

……

……

Soon, ladies from all over the world came to Beijing one after another, and entered the palace together with the noble daughters in Beijing.

Hua Pingle also entered the palace, watching the fun with Xiao Mingqing.

Ever since the imperial concubine Jiufang favored the imperial harem, Emperor Zhenghe hadn't been selected for more than ten years. Outsiders would always speculate whether the imperial concubine Jiufang would fall out of favor.

Concubine Jiufang indeed made a fuss when she first heard the news of the draft, but at this time there was nothing unusual, she was raising her baby in Changchun Palace with peace of mind.

On the contrary, Xiao Mingqing was very dissatisfied with the selection of Zhenghe Emperor, pointing at those noble girls and complaining to Hua Pingle, "Jiujiu, look at this, then look at that!

They're all about my age!How could the royal father do anything!

Oh my god, Song Xueyun is here!

Ugly like that!How could the royal father do anything! "

Hua Ping smiled happily, "Princess, let's talk about the matter, although Song Xueyun hates it a bit, but it is definitely not ugly."

She remembered that after she almost strangled Song Xueyun to death at the flower viewing banquet, Changping Hou had promised his grandmother that he would marry Song Xueyun far away, but she did not expect to catch up with this draft.

It's fine if Song Xueyun is not selected, Changping Hou probably doesn't have the guts to break his promise to his grandmother, and probably wants to marry her out of the capital.

But if she is elected, tsk, she and the eldest sister are both called Zheng Hedi by their seniority, then Song Xueyun will change from the eldest sister's sister-in-law to the eldest sister's grandma in one fell swoop?
It's not disgusting enough!
Xiao Mingqing lifted her chin proudly, "She's much uglier than me!"

Hua Pingle laughed, "Yes, yes, you are the most beautiful! Guaranteed to fascinate the military division of Jiufang!"

Xiao Mingqing blushed with embarrassment, patted Hua Pingle's back coquettishly, and made a loud "kong—" sound.

Hua Pingle, "..."

Very well, Xiao Mingqing has become stronger after staying with her for a long time.

This time, she could bear it, but she didn't know if the frail scholar Jiu Fangfeng could bear it?

For a moment, Hua Pingle didn't know whether to sympathize with Xiao Mingqing or Jiu Fangfeng, pointing to a beautiful girl and said to Xiao Mingqing, "Princess, I guess that must be the granddaughter of Admiral Qi Gufeng of Fuguang".

That show girl had rough and dark skin, was tall and tall, standing among a group of fair and pretty show girls was like a raven flying into a flock of pigeons.

Xiao Mingqing also noticed her early on, and nodded excitedly, "It's her, she is particularly conspicuous among those beautiful girls.

I asked specifically, she is the granddaughter of General Fu Guangqi!Jiujiu, how did you guess it? "

Naturally, because I also inquired about it early.

16 years ago, Admiral Fuguang was originally Huo Ying's grandfather and Lian Yanqing's grandfather.

After the Lian clan was exterminated, the admirals of Fuguang had changed several times, and they hadn't changed since they were replaced by Qi Gufeng eight years ago.

Admiral Fu Guang's general, she naturally needs to pay more attention.

Hua Pingle smiled slightly, "I guessed it! Fuguang is full of sea, and when the sea breeze blows, doesn't it just turn into such a dark appearance?"

Xiao Mingqing covered her face in shock, "Then, then I won't be like her in the future, right?"

Hua Pingle smiled meaningfully, "So, princess, you have to think carefully about whether you want to marry the Jiufang army division and go to Fuzhou."

Xiao Mingqing looked at her, then at Miss Qi, gritted her teeth, "Change, change! Jiujiu, you were black before, and I think it looks pretty good too!"
The same goes for Miss Qi, she is a bit darker, she is much prettier than Song Xueyun, she is also pretty in dark, if I am blackened by the sea breeze, I will be pretty in black too! "

Hua Pingle, "..."

Anu got excited, and quickly pointed to her face, "Also, princess, look at your servant, servant!"

Anu just barely yelled out the big words "I am also pretty in Hei Liqiao".

But Xiao Mingqing couldn't understand her mood. After taking a serious look at her, she honestly commented, "A Nu, you can only be regarded as a black man. You are dark and capable, and you have gotten fat from drinking recently. Shangqiao".

Anu clapped her hands happily, "Ha! Hei Li is good! Hei Li is good! Princess, your vision is really good!
I don't want anything pretty!Shrewd and capable, the girl will not go out with Ah Ji, not me! "

Xiao Mingqing also laughed happily, "Yes, yes! Hei Liqiao is good, and Hei Li Neng is good too! Jiujiu likes you the most! I like you too!"

Hua Pingle, "..."

I always feel that Anu is more suitable for making handkerchief exchanges with Xiao Mingqing.

"Hey, girl, let's find a chance to beat up that Miss Qi?"

Hua Pingle, "..."

Why do you start beating people when you are doing well?
Anu stared at Ms. Qi with a fierce look in her eyes, "Girl, I heard that Ms. Qi's grandfather, Admiral Qi, often called our lord a brat.

He also scolded our lord for taking advantage of his status, and got a great credit for being lucky, but he was regarded as the god of war by some ignorant and stupid people! "

Hua Pingle, "..."

Her maid is so protective of Brother Fu, shouldn't she give her a little more monthly money?
Xiao Mingqing was furious, "He is so courageous!"

Hua Pingle, "..."

Sure enough, people are divided into groups, and her handkerchief is so protective of Fu Geer!

"That's right! How bold! He dared to call us ignorant and stupid people! I think he is stupid!"

"that is!"

Xiao Mingqing immediately expressed support, "He is the man himself, he will kowtow and kneel when he sees the emperor's uncle and me!"

Hua Pingle, "..."

She is thinking too much!
Anu began to roll up his sleeves, "Girl, that Admiral Qi scolded us so much, let's beat that girl Qi, it's just a matter of balance!"

Xiao Mingqing immediately added, "She is a beautiful girl, if you want to fight, you must find a secluded place when she is alone, otherwise, if someone finds out, Father will definitely be angry."

Hua Pingle, "..."

Sure enough, Anu is more suitable for making handkerchief exchanges with Xiao Mingqing!

……

……

In order to prevent his handkerchief and the maid from really going to beat Miss Qi, Hua Pingle took Xiao Mingqing to the Imperial Garden, and sure enough, he met Xiao Mingshi who was walking with Concubine Wen to enjoy the flowers.

Concubine Wen's stomach is already very big, and the imperial doctor told her to move around more to facilitate delivery.

Recently, Xiao Mingshi often accompanied her around the Royal Garden.

Hua Pingle took the opportunity to mention that Xiao Mingshi promised her to ask Wang Miaoer to apologize to her.

Xiao Mingshi had long forgotten about it, and only remembered it when Hua Pingle mentioned it.

He understands Wang Miaoer's temperament very well, and also knows that she has the Queen Mother as her backer, and now she is basically torn apart with him, and he will never listen to his own words easily to apologize to Hua Pingle, so he coaxed, "Jiu Jiu It's not like you don't know.

The princess has always been like that, she likes to preach, and I will apologize to her alone, and you have a lot of wine, please forgive her."

"No! I talked to Su Shangshu there, and I didn't say more than five sentences! Five sentences!"

Hua Pingle said angrily and stretched out his right hand to gesture, "The princess came up and said that I was pestering Su Shangshu, and told me not to disturb Su Shangshu's business! She is not Su Shangshu's mother! Why should she!"

Xiao Mingqing was amused by the sound of "Su Shangshu his mother", and Xiao Mingshi's heart moved slightly, something flashed in his mind.

Before he could figure it out, Hua Pingle said again, "It's fine if the princess doesn't apologize to me, Your Highness, you have to promise to take me and the princess to swim in the lake.

Let those noble ladies in Beijing who dare to oppose me see that I have Your Highness as your backer! "

This request is much simpler than asking Wang Miaoer to apologize, Xiao Mingshi may not have been out of the palace for a long time, and was just about to leave the palace to get some air, so he readily agreed.

Hua Pingle cheered, raised his head and looked at him with bright eyes, "Uncle Prince, you should spare time as soon as possible, otherwise the azaleas by the Lishui Lake will be gone! The princess and I are free anytime. of!"

Xiao Mingshi was dazed, only to feel that those eyes were very familiar, as if someone had looked at him with such bright black eyes without blinking.

Just one look can make his blood surge up, and his whole heart boils.

Hua Pingle smiled brightly at Xiao Ming, and dragged Xiao Mingqing away.

Xiao Mingshi only felt the familiar feeling in his heart become more intense, he was stunned to see Hua Pingle's back as he was flying away, but he couldn't regain his senses.

Concubine Wen carefully looked at his expression, and waited for him to look away before casually saying, "Jiujiu is a child, I like it very much, he is lively and lovable and knows how to measure, but he just doesn't like the princess.

Who in Beijing doesn't know Jiujiu's heart for Su Shangshu?

After finally grabbing the opportunity to have a few words with Su Shangshu, the Crown Princess couldn't bear it.

Your Highness, it's not that the concubine dared to arrange the crown prince behind her back, but the crown prince is really too strict with wine.

So many servants followed, the two met in the palace, it doesn't matter if they say a few words, I'm afraid Princess Ninghe might not stop her if she sees her."

The Crown Princess can't tolerate it, can't tolerate it——

The thought that just flashed by just reappeared in his mind, and was accurately grasped by Xiao Mingshi.

He immediately sank his face, and ordered the palace servants to send Concubine Wen back, and went straight to the Palace of Compassion—
