Chapter 28
Princess Shouning scattered a lot of money, and borrowed a large red camphor wood boat from the water transport yamen, and arranged for the chief envoy of the princess' mansion to replace various utensils from the inside to the outside.

The green curtains were replaced with Ning silk weaved and tributed by Jiangning, and the ornaments were replaced with blue kiln pots with precious flowers such as magnolia.

Even the candles in the red lanterns were replaced with expensive yellow wax made of beeswax.

Various poetry collections in the capital over the years have reached the pinnacle of extravagance, and the Lantai Poetry Association can be regarded as the only one.

Princess Shouning spent a lot of money to create a grand and extravagant poetry party with only one purpose, to overwhelm the limelight of Princess Changping's duet.

Tell those officials in the capital that Princess Shouning is now the eldest princess.

Everything was proceeding step by step, and just as Princess Shouning expected, she overwhelmed Princess Changping's limelight.

Just when the Lantai Poetry Association reached its climax, there appeared a song "Mulan Flower Order", which was a new poem written by Li Mian.

From Qian Dongjian's point of view, it was tantamount to a thunderstorm on the ground.

Princess Changping's beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows stretched out, she sat on the embroidered pier, and glanced at Princess Shouning with a smile.

Princess Shouning, who had a condescending expression on her face, couldn't hold back her face, she pursed her lips tightly, and was speechless.

He looked back at the officials and ladies in the wing room, all of them looked idiots, and their red lips were chanting, all of them were repeating the sentence "Life is just like the first time you see it".

I really want to know the second half of this new poem, because of Princess Shouning's face, it is not easy to ask for "Mulan Flower Order".

At this time, a woman sitting next to the mahogany incense table said in a demure manner: "Princess Changping, please, send someone to solve this new poem written by Duke Yuan."

In the quiet wing room, someone suddenly broke the calm, not to compliment Princess Shouning, but actually took the "Mulan Flower Order" at the risk of disgrace.

The officials and ladies looked over in surprise, their faces were confused, and they wondered which family's lady was so ignorant of the world.

Princess Changping and Princess Shouning also looked over, and after seeing the woman's appearance, they knew why she said to fetch "Magnolia Flower Order" confidently.

Shen Yixiu, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Shen family is not an ordinary famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. It has the reputation of "the first family in Hangzhou, Shen is the most".

Shen Yixiu's uncle, Shen Guangzuo, is the uncle of Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, and has inextricable relations with the Dongjiang faction, an important faction of the frontier army.

Although the clan brother Shen Shikui is a businessman, he holds the money bag of Dongjiang Town, and the tax right to collect taxes from Lee's Korea and the Japanese Zhu Yinchuan is in Shen Shikui's hands.

In the eyes of outsiders, Shen Yixiu is just a scholarly woman from the south of the Yangtze River, but she can get "Mulan Flower Order" without any taboo.

Shen Yixiu lifted the Suhang Qingru skirt, stood up and made a wish to Princess Shouning: "If there is something that offends the princess, please forgive me."

It's more than an offense, I can't wait to scratch Shen Yixiu's face with my fingernails.

Princess Shouning smiled reluctantly and said: "This Lantai Poetry Conference is to promote Wenzhi. If there is a poem that can be valued by Sister Wanjun, the money will not be spent in vain."

When Princess Shouning mentioned the word "silver", she subconsciously bit her tongue a little harder, but it wasn't that she couldn't control her emotions. Every time she thought of expensive utensils such as Ning silk and yellow wax, her heart ached.

From the tone of this sentence, Shen Yixiu could already hear Princess Shouning's dissatisfaction, and also knew that it was possible to offend Princess Shouning because of the "Mulan Flower Order", but he still couldn't control it.

Her heart tossed and turned, always echoing a line of poetry.

Bowl.

It was only after listening to the first half of Que that she fell in love with it, and she wanted to see Quan Que, a new song composed by Li Mian.

But after waiting for a long time, Princess Changping still didn't respond, as if she didn't want to offend Princess Shouning.

A slight regret appeared on Shen Yixiu's demure face, and he thought that he would not be able to sleep in the boudoir tonight.

I can only wait until tomorrow to visit Princess Changping and finish watching "Magnolia Order".

Shen Yixiu had no intention of staying here any longer, holding the skirt of the Suhang Qingru skirt, he was about to leave the Lantai Poetry Club first.

Although the Lantai Poetry Festival is at its climax, all kinds of poems appear frequently, reaching the most exciting time of this event.

But from Shen Yixiu's point of view, the poems written by those gifted scholars, in front of Li Mian's "Magnolia Flower Order", everything seems dull.

"Miss Shen, wait a minute."

Outside the green curtain, the excited voice of the pheasant slave was suddenly heard, and he ran down the corridor, and before Sun Yifa could react, he took the wax paper from his hand.

It was 'thump thump thump' running up the corridor again, a small head with a double-ringed bun popped out from the closed green curtain, stretched out a small white arm, and passed the wax paper over.

Shen Yixiu glanced at the jumping pheasant slave, smiled demurely, walked over to take the wax paper from her hand, and read it seriously.

The sound was not loud, and spread throughout the room.

When Shen Yixiu read the second sentence, "What is the sad painting fan in the autumn wind", his smile faded away, but he was full of emotion: "Xie Yuangong Li Mian is very knowledgeable, and the second sentence quoted the allusion of Ban Jieyu from the Han Dynasty. Jieyu was originally the imperial concubine of Han Cheng, but was later framed by Zhao Feiyan's slander, she retired to the cold palace, wrote a song of resentment, and used the autumn fan to express her resentment for being abandoned..."

When Shen Yixiu said this, he suddenly stopped and did not continue.

It's not that I dare not say it, but I can't say it, because it involves the secrets of the palace.

But in her heart she was admiring Li Mian's brilliant knowledge, using the past to satirize the present, the situation of the Empress and Concubine Zheng was the same as that of Ban Jieyu.

All were framed by concubines and abandoned.

For the officials and gentry, after the abolition, it involves the foundation of the country and the stability of their respective clans.

In the eyes of Shen Yixiu and other women, they felt more empathy, and most of them felt ashamed of Concubine Zheng.

The official lady sitting in the red camphor wood big patent will get married in the future and is destined to be a wife.

The scene that the ladies of the bureaucrats don't want to see the most is that the husband is influenced by the slander of the alluring concubine, divorces the wife of the wife, and makes an unnamed concubine the mistress of the family.

Shen Yixiu's eyes fell on Princess Shouning, and the officials and ladies also looked over, only Princess Changping was still sitting on the embroidered pier, which didn't seem to cause any disturbance.

Princess Shouning was already in a dull mood, but because of Ban Jieyu's allusion, her mood was even worse.

It's just that I don't know why, but I can't bring up the resentment towards Li Mian in my heart, and Princess Shouning's mind is also constantly echoing "Life is like the first time I saw it".

Xie Yuangong, who has such a talent, can hardly make people feel bad.
