It was the time when flowers were in full bloom in summer, and the queen held a banquet and invited the daughters of civil and military officials to enjoy the flowers. Although the Lin family has many daughters, the eldest sister is fighting in all directions, the second sister is seriously ill, and the fourth is seeking medical treatment in a distant snowy area. Looking at it this way, it is really hard for the old man. three.
"It's better to say it's a flower-viewing banquet than a concubine's banquet." Lin Qiqi threw the invitation list aside and continued to look through the books in her hands. There were either ladies from noble families or princes on the list. I know how many couples they can make.
Sure enough, the ladies appeared in full make-up and every move seemed to have been carefully planned. Only she, standing far away, really seemed to be here to enjoy the flowers.
After the ladies from all walks of life arrived, the queen was supported by several amiable ladies around her, and she was very happy. Lin Qiqi walked to the side, staying far away from the queen, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. She stood on the steps, stroking the unopened flower buds with her fingers, looking at them, and she was lost in thought. Her hands were hanging in the air, and she didn't notice anyone coming beside her. The man stood beside her and saw that she was wearing a light apricot dress. Her hair was pulled up and tied with a very ordinary hairpin. A few strands of broken hair were fluttering in the wind. She was very beautiful.
The man took a few steps forward, and there was a sound of scattered stones colliding under his feet. Lin Qiqi came back to her senses, looked at the man, and bowed.
"Girl...is she Lin Shangshu's daughter?" he asked, his male voice bright.
"Yes, the third daughter of the Lin family, Lin Qiqi, is polite." She had never seen him in the palace before. Lin Qiqi didn't know whether he was a prince or a noble son, so she simply asked: "May I ask who you are..."
The man chuckled: "Just call me Kenzi. Status is not a big deal. We are considered equals, Miss Qiqi."
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she nodded in response: "Well, when I see you in the future, I will call you: Kenzi. You can also call me whatever you want. My name is not a big deal, right?" The two looked at each other. With a smile, it was a blessing to meet such a frank person in such a large palace. We hadn't talked for long before he was anxious to leave. "Wei Qi, let's not talk about it for now. I have to leave first, otherwise I won't be able to leave for a while." Chen Ken said. Lin Qiqi nodded, watched him leave, and returned to the crowd. The queen was furious: "Lao Wu didn't come?! It seems that he didn't have enough experience on weekdays. This time he came back from the wasteland, and he was still like this. I don’t know the importance.”
Before I knew it, it was already noon. When I entered the palace, I saw the shadow of Chen Yuan. He was sitting on the banquet beside the main seat, leisurely sipping tea, his expression was dull and his meaning was unclear. "Yuan'er, my mother heard that you were not satisfied with the selection of concubine last time. This time, as long as you speak, my mother will make the decision for you." The queen was extremely majestic and gave this precious son a huge face.
In an instant, the look he glanced over made people shudder. "In my opinion, these women are not as good as Lin Qiqi." After saying this, her body trembled violently, which was a huge irony. Chen Yuan added: "Oh, didn't Lao Wu say he was coming to choose a concubine? Why didn't he see him? If he had met Lin Qiqi, he might have looked at her twice more than me. Lao Wu just came back from the wasteland and his eyes are cloudy." There were a lot of discussions around, but she was the only one, sitting quietly on the soft chair, hanging high as if it had nothing to do with her.
"Thank you, Second Prince, for your comment. Qiu Qi is very grateful. Today I see that the Second Prince has no intention of me, so I would like to ask the Queen to break off my hasty engagement with the Second Prince." She knelt down and kowtowed, waiting for the Empress to wait. What was waiting for her to speak was the Queen's inconsistent words: "The Ai family appreciates Miss Qiqi's frankness, but this is the Holy One's decision and the Ai family cannot interfere." Lin Qiqi sneered, not knowing who it was. Just now I shouted: My mother will make the decision for you.
A good one to call the shots.
She stood up and sat back on the soft chair, her lowered eyes revealing almost invisible sarcasm and ridicule. After sitting down again, she had no more words to say. She was just thinking about her own affairs and how she would try to break off the engagement next time. After the flower viewing feast, everything returned to normal.
