Lu Ling looked confused, but he didn't ask any more questions, stood up and followed her out of the pavilion.
After taking two steps, Lu Ling couldn't help but ask: "Where are you going?"
The maid smiled and said, "Madam, follow me to the Huxin Pavilion."
"Where?" Lu Ling couldn't help but look at the pavilion on the water.
The maid smiled: "Exactly."
Although Lu Ling was confused, he still followed.
Arriving at the Pavilion in the middle of the lake, when the pavilion was opened, the scene inside was completely different from the scene in the pavilion just now.
Behind the screen, there are four young girls sitting, all dressed up, sitting upright and looking good.
When Lu Ling saw it, he immediately guessed that these four women must be the candidates for the princess.
But what did the maid bring her here for?
She is a married woman!
When the four women saw Lu Ling, they all looked surprised, and then they all nodded to Lu Ling.
The maid spread a soft cushion on an empty seat and asked Lu Ling to sit down before leaving.
As soon as Lu Ling's butt touched the mat, a woman opposite her immediately smiled and asked, "May I ask which family your sister is from?"
As she asked, she looked at Lu Ling's bun with confusion - this was obviously a bun that only women would wear!
Lu Ling looked at the woman. She was so beautiful and refined that it was unforgettable.
She thought for a while and said calmly: "My surname is Lu."
"land?"
Several women looked at each other and thought to themselves that they had never heard of any wealthy family in Weizhou whose surname was Lu? That should be from other state capitals.
The woman just now introduced herself: "I am a girl from the Zhu family in Weicheng. My name is Siyu."
Lu Ling couldn't help but look at her twice.
I wish Siyu and my family.
She had heard something.
The Zhu family is an aristocratic family in Weicheng. It is said that their ancestors once served as teachers of the late emperor. Their family is very loved by the scholars in Weizhou.
But Lu Ling knew very little.
At present, it seems that Zhu Siyu looks beautiful and refined, behaves elegantly, and has a temperament and appearance that people can remember at a glance.
I think the position of princess must fall to her.
However, Lu Ling still didn't understand why he was invited here.
Four women of similar age sat together and soon started chatting.
They all knew in advance that they were candidates for the princess, so they couldn't help but bring the topic to Prince Zhao.
"Do you think we can see King Zhao today?" a woman in green asked.
The woman in pink nodded: "Of course, not only can we see him, but maybe we can also talk to him."
The woman in yellow said: "I went to Guiyuan Temple on the last pilgrimage day, and I was lucky enough to meet King Zhao."
The girl in green hurriedly asked: "How does King Zhao look?"
The woman in yellow looked shy and said, "Prince Zhao is the most majestic and handsome man I have ever seen..."
The women in yellow and pink clothes couldn't help showing excitement and expectation on their faces, and their faces were full of shyness.
The woman in green frowned and whispered, "It's just strange. That day I saw a strange woman fainted behind King Zhao's carriage. Later, King Zhao actually carried her back to the carriage himself."
"What?" the woman in yellow exclaimed, with a look of disbelief on her face, "What is the identity of that woman?"
The woman in green shook her head.
The woman in pink showed disdain and cursed in a low voice: "I wonder what kind of vixen wants to seduce the prince and faints on purpose, hoping that a sparrow will turn into a phoenix!"
When Lu Ling heard this, he couldn't help but frown and glance at the woman in pink.
Fortunately, I was dressed up today, with heavy makeup on my face, so the woman in green didn't recognize her, otherwise I don't know what kind of trouble I would get into!
The three women had been chatting about King Zhao, but Lu Ling and Zhu Siyu did not participate.
Lu Ling looked bored. Zhu Siyu quietly looked Lu Ling up and down and consciously regarded Lu Ling as his "competitor".
Lu Ling didn't notice it and just turned his head to look outside the curtain in boredom.
At this time, a gust of wind blew up, lifting the translucent curtain, and the ripples of the lake outside came into view. Several egrets flew lightly across the water, leaving a series of ripples.
Wuzi was in a trance, and suddenly he heard several women exclaiming in low voices: "That man is coming over? He can't be King Zhao, right?"
Lu Ling came back to his senses and turned around to look. Sure enough, he saw a tall man striding outside the curtain. Who could it be if he wasn't Zhao Wang Shen Yufeng?
Lu Ling quickly stood up with the four women and saluted King Zhao.
King Zhao walked into the curtain, sat down on the other side of the screen, and said calmly: "No need to be polite, just take a seat."
There was a screen between the men and women, so although he couldn't see clearly, following the shadow, Lu Ling quickly traced Shen Yufeng's appearance.
The image of that day when she begged him to send her back to the carriage suddenly flashed through her mind.
For some reason, Lu Ling felt a little ashamed.
She quickly lowered her head and pretended that she didn't exist.
But she didn't know that the person on the other side of the screen was looking at her unceremoniously because of the barrier of the screen.
The maids served tea and fruits, and Shen Yufeng picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip.
At this time, the woman in green stood up and said in a sweet voice: "I have always heard that His Highness King Zhao is majestic and majestic. It is really an honor for me to see his true appearance today. It is truly a blessing to be able to drink with King Zhao this time." "
After saying that, the other three women tried to get a glimpse of King Zhao's expression through the screen.
However, Shen Yufeng just nodded lightly and had no more words.
The woman in green clothes suddenly felt extremely embarrassed and wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Zhu Siyu smiled at this time and said: "Your Highness, since today is a poetry meeting, why not let each of the sisters here write a poem to relieve our boredom?"
Hearing this, Shen Yufeng raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Siyu, then asked: "Your voice sounds familiar?"
Zhu Siyu's heart moved, and he quickly stood up and said, "Your Highness has forgotten that on the day of Buddha Pilgrimage, Siyu had a chance to serve tea to His Highness at Guiyuan Temple, and we met once."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three women next to him all looked at Zhu Siyu with envy and hidden jealousy.
Shen Yufeng chuckled lightly and said calmly: "So, I still have some fate with the young lady."
When Zhu Siyu heard this, she smiled proudly, as if she was showing off to the other three women.
She knelt down and said softly: "This little girl has a deep blessing and is lucky enough to meet His Highness at Guiyuan Temple!"
Shen Yufeng smiled softly again and said in a blink of an eye, "In this case, how about each of the ladies here writing a poem with the tea in the cup as the theme?"
The three women except Lu Ling and Zhu Siyu felt uneasy.
Just because although they are considered to be knowledgeable about books and etiquette, they are not noble girls in the capital after all, and there are few people who can write poems.
But now that the prince has spoken, they can only bite the bullet and take the pen and paper.
A set of pen and paper was presented to Lu Ling.
Lu Ling was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Do I also want to write poetry?"
Without waiting for the maid to answer, Shen Yufeng looked at her through the screen: "Since the young lady is sitting here, I think she must be very talented in literature."
Lu Ling: "..."
I don’t know who brought me here to watch you choose your concubine!
You're still pretending!
Helpless, she could only pick up a pen and write a little poem.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Siyu took the lead to put down her pen and handed the paper in her hand to the maid.
The maid quickly took it and then read it out in front of everyone:
The sun is slanting in the pavilion in the center of the lake, and the tea is slightly bitter and benefits from the mountain spring.
The ordinary breeze carries a wisp and mixes it with the billowing first red flames.
