The seventh prince came over and saluted, imitating Rong Cang and gave the first flower to the queen: "Thank you to my father and queen for thinking about my title and marriage. I am grateful in my heart. I will definitely be filial to my mother in the future."
The queen joked and said, "If your mother and concubine weren't careless, who would have been the one to make the decision?"
One word eased the sadness.
The seventh prince and the eighth prince had been living in the palace for these years, and it was not that they had no grievances in their hearts. It was just that their mother's status was not high, and they had the ominous reputation of being twins, so they did not dare to show off too much.
Unexpectedly, it was the queen who finally made the point, which reminded the father that he still had two adult princes who had not yet been crowned kings and married, so he was naturally very grateful to the queen.
Gratitude is usually not something to say in words, but to be expressed in practical actions.
The seventh prince searched around the flower hall, walked up to Dou Huiran, the legitimate daughter of the Dou family, and gave her all five flowers.
Everyone was stunned: "..."
Dou Huiran looked at so many flowers in front of her and was stunned for a moment. When did she become so popular? The seventh prince actually gave all the flowers to her?
The queen looked at the seventh prince's movements thoughtfully.
Emperor Mu was also thoughtful.
After the seventh prince sent the flowers out, he turned and stepped aside.
The last one is the eighth prince.
He walked up to the queen and respectfully presented a red peony: "Seventh brother has already said what needs to be said. I would like to thank my mother."
The queen suddenly couldn't help but want to cry. Her eyes were slightly red, but she saw Emperor Mu tilting his head and smiling: "The queen has gained a lot today, I am almost jealous."
The queen chuckled and gave all three flowers to Emperor Mu: "This is a gift from my concubine to the emperor. I hope the emperor will accept it."
Everyone laughed, and the sad atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
The Eighth Prince looked around the flower hall and quickly walked up to a girl in a pink dress. He placed the five flowers in his hand in front of her and said, "I hope the girl will accept it."
Everyone's eyes fell on the face of the girl in pink. Du Jia, the daughter of the patrol supervisor, was cute and cute, and she seemed to have an easy-going temper.
Du Jia stared blankly at the five flowers on the table in front of him, and looked at the Eighth Prince uncertainly: "Are they all for me?"
The Eighth Prince smiled and nodded: "Yes."
"Oh." Du Jia was a little surprised and at a loss, "Thank you, His Highness the Eighth Prince."
Although the seventh and eighth princes were not of high birth and their titles were not as noble as the princes, they were heirs of the royal family and were born with talents. For women from ordinary families, they were undoubtedly the best candidates to be husbands.
Everyone looked at Dou Huiran and Du Jia with a bit of envy in their eyes.
The Queen's eyes deepened.
It is very particular when a prince gives flowers to a flower-appreciation banquet. If several women each receive one, it can express their appreciation or admiration. Whether or not they are given a wedding will not affect the women's dignity.
Sending all the flowers at once means that you are attracted to the girl, and by default you like the girl and want to marry her. If you regret it or fail to marry her, it will make the girl an invisible laughing stock.
The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince obviously took a fancy to these two women, so they had no intention of sharing the peonies equally with others.
His attitude is firm and his mind is single-minded.
fine.
The queen felt that she could prepare a decree for them to get married later. After all, it was originally a flower viewing banquet prepared for them.
"I just came here to take a look. Since the flowers have been sent, I won't stay to ruin your atmosphere." Emperor Mu slowly stood up and extended his hand to the queen, "Queen, please go back with me. I still have some things to talk to you about. Negotiate.”
"Um."
"Prince Yu." Emperor Mu ordered, "You and the princess are responsible for sending your mother and concubine back to the palace."
"My son, I obey."
"The King of War and King Chen can go back." Emperor Mu frowned, "Staying here for those who don't understand the amorous feelings is completely unnecessary."
Chu Yunfei lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "My daughter-in-law apologizes for Rong Cang and hopes that her father will appease his anger."
Emperor Mu snorted coldly and left with the queen.
Everyone saluted and sent him off respectfully.
Prince Yu and his wife sent Concubine De back to the palace, and Prince Chen and his wife and Prince Zhan also left separately.
"The relationship between His Royal Highness the War King and the Princess is really enviable." A girl raised her head and stared at their leaving figures with envy, "When can I meet a husband who treats me wholeheartedly?"
This is Ji Xiaotang, the legitimate daughter of the Zuo Shilang Mansion of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. She is not very old and is still an innocent girl.
"The feelings shown to the outside may not be true." Qin Zhilan said calmly, "After all, the war king had divorced his wife."
"Perhaps it was Chu Yunjiao who caused trouble and did some shameful deeds. His Royal Highness the War King used his plan to deceive her." Zhou Xuanxuan, the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister, sneered, "Chu Yunjiao is the shameless culprit. He was exposed in broad daylight. To seduce her brother-in-law, she has really lost her face."
Qin Zhilan's face became gloomier a little bit, and she stared at the peonies on the table in front of her, her eyes full of jealousy and unwillingness.
"Sister Zhou is right, a man like His Royal Highness Zhan Wang is the most honest. If he didn't really like the princess, he wouldn't be so gentle and affectionate in public." Ji Xiaotang looked melancholy, "Speaking of it, my background is similar to that of Princess Zhan. , Why didn’t the War King fall in love with me in the first place?”
"Probably because you are not as beautiful as Princess Zhan." Zhou Xuanxuan teased, "Besides, marriage is about fate."
Xie Danshu smiled and said, "Do you usually talk about the love between children at home?"
When Zhou Xuanxuan and Ji Xiaotang heard this, they immediately became quiet, with a bit of restraint on their faces, and shook their heads in unison: "Of course not."
Xie Danshu came from a prominent family, and in the eyes of Ji Xiaotang and Zhou Xuanxuan, she was a truly famous lady and a noble daughter. Moreover, she was the queen's niece, ranking higher than a princess.
Xie Danshu has always given people a sense of indifference and elegance, with a kind of unstained nobility. When talking to her - especially talking about love and love, there is always an unspeakable sense of shame.
It seems that in front of her, we should not talk about these mundane things, but should talk about poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and anything that can reflect elegance and refinement, which is in line with her magnanimity.
"Actually, it's good to talk about the love between children." Xie Danshu smiled, "I didn't believe this before, because I always felt that men in this world were all the same, romantic, sentimental, arrogant. Today I saw the King of War Through my relationship with the princess, I realized that not all men in the world are the same."
Ji Xiaotang melancholy said: "But there are very few men like His Highness the War King. You may not be able to find one among hundreds of men."
"It's just because there are few that they feel precious." Xie Danshu sighed, "After all, things are rare and valuable."
Ji Xiaotang and Zhou Xuanxuan were convinced and nodded in unison: "Miss Xie is right."
Qin Zhilan's heart seemed to be clenched tightly, and she felt suffocated for a moment. She closed her eyes gently, and suddenly realized very clearly that Xie Danshu was right.
It is precisely because it is rare that it is precious.
If Rong Cang was attracted to her so easily, and even sent flowers to her for other purposes like King Yu and King Chen did, then what was the difference between him and other men?
What else could she like about him?
So when she meets such a man, she should fight for it, instead of being unwilling because he rejects him thousands of miles away.
The easier it is to get something, the more she has to find a way to get it. It hasn't been able to impress him for the time being, but it's just because I didn't use the right method.
Nothing is difficult in this world.
In terms of family background, status, and talent, she considered herself to be superior to Chu Yunfei.
Even in terms of appearance, she is not inferior.
So she is more qualified to get this man than Chu Yunfei.
