Chapter 401 Unexpected Result
"Let's not talk about her, you see, that is the crabapple tree I brought over from Wei Guo back then. The tree grows pretty well, but it just doesn't bloom. After a long time, there will be rumors in the palace. If it wasn't for me It was brought from the Kingdom of Wei, I am afraid that the Yongning Palace will not be able to keep it." The queen pointed to a very lush crabapple tree and said to Su Nanzhen and the others.

Su Nanzhen walked over, the soil on the ground was not dry yet, not because of watering, but because of the excess rainwater, the problem of excess rainwater can be solved by removing the flower base.

It is rare that it is sunny, but the crabapple flowers have no chance to enjoy the sunshine. A magnolia tree next to it almost completely blocks the crabapple tree.

Su Nanzhen unceremoniously pointed out the plight of the crabapple tree, "If you want it to bloom, you must prune the branches and leaves when they should be pruned."

"So that's how it is." The Queen murmured, but the Magnolia is the Queen Mother's favorite, and so is the sycamore tree, "Do you have a solution?"

"Another place where the sun is the best is a place suitable for planting crabapple trees." Su Nanzhen thought for a while, "It's okay to change another place now, the humidity on the ground is just right."

"Okay, it's up to you." The queen was annoyed in her heart. Hearing what she said, she asked the palace servants to find a suitable place to replant the crabapple tree. It was just removing a few chrysanthemums.

When the crabapple tree was replanted in another place, the palace banquet was ready, and the queen had to change into palace clothes. It was the nanny who led them to the banquet venue.

Yao Dan and Lu Youdao have arrived, and they smiled slightly when they saw Pei Songzhi and Su Nanzhen's family.

"No one is making things difficult for you, right?" Yao Dan asked softly.

"Someone made things difficult for you?" Pei Songzhi frowned.

"It's not really making things difficult." Yao Dan thought for a while, but was quite speechless.

Murong Bo was discussing the next itinerary with them, when that Murong Kuo broke in suddenly, saying that he wanted to see and participate in it, completely ignoring Murong Bo, or ignoring them.

That Murong Kuo's mother is the son of Concubine Li who is the favorite of the Sixth Palace. She is the biggest obstacle on Murong Bo's way of inheriting the throne. Although there are no other thorns, she came here uninvited, and she still looks familiar. Disgusting.

Yao Dan was about to talk about Murong Kuo, but the emperor came, and the one who came with him was not the empress but Concubine Li, and Concubine Li was wearing a reddish palace attire, I didn't know she thought she was the empress.

The queen came late, she was wearing a bright yellow palace dress, and she could still overwhelm Concubine Li in terms of momentum.

There were 3000 beauties in the harem, and only the queen and concubine Li were fighting. The others had no sense of presence. Except for the two of them, Su Nanzhen didn't see any other concubines present.

There are six princes, and it is said that there are younger ones, but except for Murong Bo and Murong Kuo, the others do not seem to have the strength to fight for the throne. The only thing they can do is to choose to stand in line, or choose to be neutral.

The expressions of the others were also somewhat subtle, fortunately Murong Bo still had supporters, but the prince's status was special, perhaps he didn't make it too obvious.

But she found that Murong Kuo managed to maintain a fake smile for some officials, and some people made him look like a corporal.

Murong Kuo seemed to have noticed that she was looking at him, and there was a bit of forbearance in his polite eyes. As for what was under the forbearance, probably only he himself knew.

Pei Songzhi was a little dissatisfied with his excessive attention, and whispered in Su Nanzhen's ear, "Is he prettier than me?"

Su Nanzhen glanced at him, wondering why he was so jealous.

But he was also a little displeased when peeping was discovered. Su Nanzhen knew that he was too obvious, so he restrained himself a little, but he was curious, so he couldn't help but sneak a few glances, look at this and that.

Concubine Li was peeked at by her, and she didn't even bother to return her eyes.

As for the others, some were unconvinced, polite, and some dismissed her as if she was a bumpkin.

If they hadn't all sat down, that person would have probably stepped forward and asked her, "What are you looking at?".

"Mrs. Pei cares about the people of the world. It is a blessing for Yan Guo to invite Mrs. Pei." Murong Kuo raised his glass and directly expressed that he would like to respect Su Nanzhen.

But it was disrespectful, Su Nanzhen waited for the palace servants to finish pouring the wine, raised the wine glass, and skillfully poured the wine into the sleeve, there was a hidden mechanism inside, not leaking a single drop.

Pei Songzhi glanced at her, and naturally saw her small movements, and immediately felt relieved.

They had agreed before they came that they would not drink at all.

"Madam Pei is a good drinker, her face won't turn red after drinking a glass." Murong Kuo said with a half-smile.

"Just kidding." Su Nanzhen replied lightly.

"I heard that Marquis Pei is capable of both civil and military skills. I wonder if we can experience it." Murong Kuo saw that she didn't accept the move, so he turned to Pei Songzhi, asking him to compose a poem and show off his sword skills.

"Although the guest is up to the owner, they all say to make friends with literature and make friends with martial arts. Today Pei dared to ask the emperor to allow Pei to borrow your national treasure to have an impromptu meeting with friends through literature and martial arts." Pei Songzhi said generously.

Murong Kuo wanted him to be a performer, and wanted to overwhelm him, but he didn't submit obediently. Since he wanted to test his strength, he had to show the same strength.

Murong Kuo didn't expect him to refute, so he couldn't help but look at his father.

"What a friend who makes friends with literature, and friends with martial arts, father and son boldly ask for a fight." Murong Bo laughed loudly and said loudly.

Then someone joined in.

The emperor agreed without thinking too much.

"Please."

"Please."

Pei Songzhi and Murong Bo walked to the arena immediately.

The palace people immediately began to prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

"The flowers are blooming just right tonight, and it's the [-]th full moon. I propose to take the full moon as the main theme, and ask Lord Pei and His Royal Highness to leave the painting and calligraphy for everyone to appreciate."

"Wonderful, seconds."

The emperor also agreed to this proposal.

Pei Songzhi and Murong Bo looked at each other, and soon they had an idea, and then improvised.

In the end, Pei Song's "Drinking Alone under the Moon" was slightly better.

Although some of his poems did not fit the situation, but the artistic conception of the painting was profound, Murong Bo felt ashamed and voted for Pei Song in the event of a tie.

Murong Bo was a virtuous corporal, humbly condescending to himself, which won the favor of his courtiers.

Murong Kuo's face changed slightly, but it was only a flash of displeasure.

When it was time for the contest, the soft sword in Pei Songzhi's hand fell off, and the broken sword flew straight towards the emperor.

In a critical moment, Murong Bo stood in front of the emperor with the speed of a magic soldier, the broken sword slashed across his arm, and blood dripped down.

The father-in-law opened his mouth wide and then closed it again, as if he wanted to say "help me", but it seems that there is no need for that.

"Tell the imperial doctor." The queen panicked.

"This Marquis made a mistake. This place is really not suitable for a martial arts competition. I accidentally injured Your Highness the Crown Prince. This Marquis is willing to be punished." Pei Songzhi immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.

The emperor gathered himself together, looked at Pei Songzhi, but finally did not punish him.
