Chapter 179 The Feast of Flowers

On the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, all the unmarried noble girls in the capital followed their mothers into the palace to participate.

Concubine Jing put in a lot of effort to organize this banquet well, just waiting to be praised by His Majesty.

After Xia Huai inserted the last step for her, she smiled and praised: "Your Majesty, you are so pretty."

Even though the protagonist today is not Concubine Jing, she still dresses beautifully.

Concubine Jing looked at herself in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction. Xia Huai's craftsmanship has always been good, and she hasn't regressed at all after so many years.

She touched the hair ornament on her head and said lazily, "Okay, it's time to go out."

The place where the Hundred Flowers Banquet was held was in Concubine Jing's palace, and now it's very lively outside.

After seeing Hua Chang, several noble ladies were very surprised, and came forward to say hello: "Princess, why are you here?"

It stands to reason that Princess Huashang shouldn't have come here not long after the old prince passed away, but she just came here. Could it be that she also wanted to marry the prince of Xishan?

The real purpose of this Hundred Flowers Banquet is clear to everyone, and they are almost unwilling, if it is not for Sheng Ming, how could they bite the bullet and come to this Hundred Flowers Banquet, so they can't help but have imaginations about Huashang's coming.

But among these people, there are some who want to fly on the branches and become phoenixes. After seeing Huashang, they can't help feeling a little hostile towards her. The other party is the princess after all. If they really want to fight with them, I'm afraid they won't be able to fight at all. other side.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled lightly and said, "Why, can't the princess come?"

If it wasn't for the eldest princess who came to invite her, she wouldn't want to come to this kind of occasion.

The noble lady who asked the question immediately shook her head, and stammered an explanation: "No, no, I'm just curious."

But at this moment, there was a sudden movement, and when everyone didn't know why, they heard the father-in-law outside the door shouting: "The eldest princess is here."

When those noble ladies heard that the eldest princess had also come, they suddenly had different thoughts.

Sure enough, at the moment the father-in-law finished shouting, a woman with noble and gorgeous clothes and elegant posture appeared in front of them.

Seeing this, everyone quickly blessed themselves, and shouted respectfully: "My daughter, see Your Highness the Eldest Princess, Your Highness is a thousand years old."

Xie Mao glanced at them, smiled and said, "Excuse me."

Then she went in the direction of Huashang.

Those noble ladies started discussing in a low voice when they saw the person walking away.

One of the women in yellow said, "Why is the eldest princess here?"

Another woman in pink boldly guessed: "Could it be that the eldest princess has taken a fancy to the prince of Xishan?"

The Eldest Princess does not come here at all, after all, His Majesty intends to choose one of these ministers and daughters as a marriage partner, and it is not good for the Eldest Princess to come.

Otherwise, if people from Xishan saw it, they would think that His Majesty looked down on them. Otherwise, why did they only let courtiers and courtiers come to make marriages when there is a princess, so the eldest princess should avoid it on this occasion.

The blue-clothed woman next to her nodded in agreement and said, "I think it's possible. Have you seen that today's eldest princess is dressed so beautifully, obviously she is here for the prince of Xishan Mountain."

Several people were discussing here, and Xie Wei had already come to Hua Chang's side.

Xie Qiu took her hand and said, "Zhao Zhao, I thought you weren't coming."

"The princess invites me, why don't I come?" Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile.

The two were chatting and laughing, and Xiuxiu who was next to her couldn't help but feel happy for her when she saw her princess finally opened her heart and laughed.

After a while, the father-in-law's sharp voice was heard: "Concubine Jing is here."

The people present stopped talking one after another, and went to pay respects to Concubine Jing.

At this moment, on the other side, Concubine Jing specially sent someone to invite His Majesty.

When the little eunuch arrived, His Majesty was still working, and Eunuch Chen blocked the door.

The little eunuch begged anxiously: "Director Chen, just go in and report that Concubine Jing invites Your Majesty to come over, otherwise it will be difficult for the servant to go back."

Before coming out, Miss Xia Huai told him thousands of times to invite His Majesty here, otherwise if the empress gets angry, the consequences for him will be serious.

"Your Majesty is still busy with official duties, so how can you have time to go?" Eunuch Chen said impatiently.

Seeing that the other party didn't help, the little eunuch stomped anxiously on the spot, almost crying.

It's over now, if His Majesty is not invited, the empress will definitely be angry again.

The little eunuch showed embarrassment, and begged again: "Mr. Chen, please be accommodating and save this slave. It's not that you don't know Concubine Jing's temperament. If the slave just goes back like this, the empress will definitely not spare the slave. .”

Xu knew what the consequences of this little eunuch would be. Eunuch Chen softened his heart and said with a sigh: "All right, I'll go and report, but it's hard to say if your Majesty will go or not."

The little eunuch who was originally bitter-melon-colored immediately regained his energy, and said to him flatteringly, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."

When Eunuch Chen saw this, he went to report it, but he was not sure about it.

After all, His Majesty's anger has just dissipated, so I'm afraid it's hard to speak.

It has been more than ten days since His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess quarreled last time.

In the first few days, Eunuch Chen didn't dare to speak when serving in front of His Majesty, and he got angry beside him.

Only in the past few days, His Majesty's anger subsided before he dared to say a few words.

When he came in, His Majesty was staring at the secretary. Eunuch Chen glanced secretly, and saw portraits of some young men on it.

You don't need to think about it, you know, Your Majesty has not given up on choosing a son-in-law for the eldest princess. If the eldest princess finds out about this, the father and daughter will probably quarrel again.

These days, the Eldest Princess has never visited His Majesty at all, and His Majesty is also very stubborn, and he can't bear to go to the Eldest Princess. In this way, the father and daughter have been fighting coldly for more than ten days, and Eunuch Chen dare not stand in front of His Majesty. By mentioning the princess, I am afraid of offending His Majesty.

Regarding this, Eunuch Chen really wanted to say, why bother, where did the father and daughter have an overnight feud? Both of them are very stubborn, and neither of them is willing to pull down their face and apologize first, so that it has dragged on until now.

Eunuch Chen watched His Majesty carefully, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing sent someone to invite you over."

The person in front of him didn't respond, instead he kept focusing on the portrait.

His Majesty pointed to the portrait, smiled and asked Eunuch Chen beside him: "Guanglin, come and see, how is this young man named Zhao Junmu?"

Eunuch Chen could only go over to take a look, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the eldest son of Lord Zhao of the Imperial Academy, one year older than the princess, and the two are suitable."

His Majesty nodded in satisfaction after listening to his words. Naturally, he has the detailed information of these people.

This guy named Zhao Junmu, although his status is a bit low, but he is better than him because he is motivated, has a gentle temper, and there is nothing messy about him.
