Chapter 345
Everyone was curious about what kind of etiquette made the Duke's wife look so restless, and they couldn't help but become more curious about Mingxi's identity.

However, after only a moment of gaffe, Mrs. Guo returned to her usual calmness. She asked people to put away the things carefully, then turned around and continued to preside over the overall situation.

After saying a bunch of polite words, the flower viewing feast finally started, and she clapped her hands as a signal.

Immediately afterwards, a group of beautiful maidservants filed in with flowerpots in their hands.

It can be seen that the Duke's wife is also very attentive in preparing for this flower viewing banquet.

Those flowers were of different varieties, and all of them were of excellent quality. Some of them were not even grown in the Imperial Capital, but were specially transported from other places. The flowers were arranged together, and a hundred flowers bloomed together. It was called a competition for beauty!
Ming Xi didn't intend to come to admire the flowers, so she couldn't help being attracted at this time, and she held her chin to watch with great interest.

The rest of the people's minds were not on this, and those smart people had some guesses about the identity of this nobleman, and they couldn't help but feel relieved.

This nobleman returned to Beijing not long ago, and the people in Beijing still can't figure out her temperament. This is a rare opportunity to show her presence. If she leaves a good impression in front of her, then the road ahead will be much easier !

As a result, the noble ladies who brought their daughters started to worry about it, and someone suggested, "It seems a bit boring to just enjoy the flowers, but why don't we come to do some activities?"

"For example, what about reciting poems and composing poems?"

This is a good opportunity to show off your talents. If your daughter has lost face in front of nobles, not to mention anything else, the road to marriage will be much smoother when she turns back!

As soon as these words came out, everyone echoed, this is a good idea!
Everyone has equal opportunities, and whoever can stand out has to rely on his own ability!
Mrs. Duke subconsciously looked at Ming Xi with an inquiring look, and saw interest in the other party's eyes, as if looking forward to it, "Sounds good."

Ming Xi thought to herself, it's true that when she fell asleep, someone handed her a pillow.

Sure enough, there are people here!
Mrs. Guo had an idea in an instant, she frowned slightly, glanced at everyone's eager faces, and said with a smile, "In that case, let's recite poems, but each round must have a theme, what do you think, nobleman?"

She looked at Ming Xi, who held her chin and thought for a while, the corner of her eyes fell on the peony not far away, and she thought, "Then the theme of this first round should be peony."

"But there is a requirement that the word 'peony' should not be mentioned in the poem."

The difficulty was slightly increased, and everyone nodded to express their clarity.

"We elders don't participate, let the younger generation play." A lady suggested with a smile.

Liu Rou's eyes dimmed slightly, a little unhappy.

Her status is embarrassing, she is not very old, but she also belongs to the elders' side, after all, she combs a woman's hair.

These famous wives seem to be afraid that others will steal the limelight from their daughters!

What a great opportunity to show off your talents, but...

She was unwilling.

However, the nobleman lazily said, "Participate voluntarily, but I will give a big gift to the winner."

As soon as these words came out, it was undoubtedly a huge temptation, even the older lady couldn't sit still.

Not to mention, the things you get from this noble person are definitely not ordinary products. The most important thing is that the rewards are second. Being able to show your face in front of her is the key!

Liu Rou was overjoyed. Although she couldn't guess the identity of this young girl, she was good at observing words and expressions. Judging from the attitudes of these people, this young girl's status was definitely either rich or noble!

If I can catch up with this contact...

Yang Lang will definitely look at her differently!

She clenched her hands that were slightly sweaty, and there was a flash in her eyes that she must win!
"Zhiyao, are you going to participate?"

Luo Zhiyao's eyes drooped slightly, and her eyes were thoughtful.

Frankly speaking, she sneered at trying to curry favor with this so-called nobleman. A person of unknown origin, just because he came from the palace, became the object of everyone's vying to please?

As the daughter of Da Sima, her status is also very prominent, and she has never paid attention to those low-ranking concubines in the palace.

At most those who were favored did not dare to offend, but they did not try to please.

She can't put down her figure to please them, this is the confidence brought to her by her family background.

But, seeing that everyone valued this opportunity so much, she felt a little ready to move. If she could win this group of people and slap them in the face, her position in the circle would undoubtedly be stronger.

She was always interested in anything that would add to her reputation.

So she pondered for half a second, Luo Zhiyao smiled and said, "Of course."

It just so happened that Chu Yi didn't come today, so she was sure to be in the limelight!

Whoever wants to be the twin sisters of the imperial capital with her, she must stand out!

"So, who to start with?"

The beginning is often the easiest to get attention and leave a deep impression. Everyone wants to fight for this opportunity, but they are all embarrassed.

"Let me come!" The lady of Zhongyong Hou's family volunteered and raised her hand.

She seemed to be an upright and forthright girl, she just scratched the back of her head embarrassingly against the eyes of everyone looking at her, a daze flashed across her simple and honest face, and she belatedly asked, "Is it okay?"

Everyone rolled their eyes wildly in their hearts, you even stood up on your horse and asked if you could?
I made a mistake, I hesitated for a while and let this stupid man take the lead!
However, according to her level, it is estimated that she will not be able to get any limelight.

Ming Xi had a good impression of this girl, she didn't blink, and looked at her with a smile, "Of course."

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, she thought she had done something wrong again.

This girl may not be very good at this aspect. After racking her brains for a long time, she managed to hold back a familiar poem.

"Famous and beautiful flowers are in love with each other, and they look like a king with a smile."

After she finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously glanced in Mingxi's direction, only to see that little nobleman who looked about her age blinked at her very gently, with affirmative eyes.

The girl from Zhongyonghou's family thought: It seems that what I did is still very good!The nobles all smiled at me!
For the girl who seized the opportunity first, the others gritted their teeth, but they couldn't hate it, after all, the girl's IQ really didn't pose a threat to them.

Having learned this lesson, the people in the back no longer hesitated to be humble, and stood up directly when they thought of it.

Ming Xi felt that this trip was also quite straight, until she caught a glimpse of a certain girl in blue, staring at the other's face, she rubbed her chin and fell into deep thought.

How do you feel, this person seems familiar?
Seeing this, Lu Yao leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Ma'am, this is Luo Zhiyao, the daughter of Da Sima's family, have you forgotten that she married you back then!"

As soon as Lu Yao said this, memories flooded back.

Ming Xi's eyes became strange. Is this the girl that Fu Jingli kicked down the pond?
No wonder, she said that there was something kind, that the familiarity was not pleasing to the eye.

She narrowed her eyes slowly.

 It's not easy to update in the early morning...
