Chapter 8 Cowardly and famous lady (7)

The Hundred Flowers Banquet is a banquet held by the Daxia Palace to enjoy flowers and fight with herbs. This day is also the Queen's birthday. All officials and their families went to the Shuhua Hall in the palace to attend the banquet to celebrate the Queen's birthday.

The peony, the national flower of Daxia, is in full bloom at this time.The Shuhua Hall was full of flowers, and the peony flower in the center was surrounded by hundreds of flowers, blooming together with it. Even Luo Qinghuan, who had been to modern times, was shocked by such a scene.

On the high seat of the main hall, Empress Nalan looked at the ladies and gentlemen next to her with a full face. She had made up her mind to choose a good girl for the crown prince at this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet.The noble ladies also seemed to understand her thoughts, and tried their best to act virtuous and gentle. The old lady who was left behind by them sneered when she saw this, and held Luo Qinghuan's hand and said: "What's so good about marrying into the palace?" Yes, waste of effort."

"Enjoying the glory and wealth in the palace is naturally the joy of the ladies of all families. Don't the old lady think so?"

The one who spoke was Hong Luan, another close girl of Luo Qinghuan. The old lady snorted coldly when she heard the words, and without even looking at her, she just looked at Luo Qinghuan and said, "What's so good about it? You won't send your own granddaughter into such a wolf's lair and a snake's lair. Second girl, did you hear that?"

Luo Qinghuan smiled brightly, and obediently took the old lady's arm and replied: "Grandmother is right, granddaughter naturally doesn't have such thoughts."

"Not now, and not in the future, huh?" The old lady was afraid that Luo Qinghuan would say no, so she said to herself before she could answer, "I really should consider Meng Shilang's words when I go back."

The so-called Meng Shilang is Meng Yuan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and also a distant relative of the old lady. It is not easy to sit in the position today without relying on the power of the family.His second son, Meng Lang, is also an amazing figure, only crowned in the capital, and has just reached the age of marriage this year, so it is indeed a good idea to choose him if he does not enter the palace.Coincidentally, a few days ago, Meng Shilang also met Luo Qinghuan, who was very popular with the old lady, at the Hou Mansion, and implicitly expressed his idea of ​​marriage.

Luo Qinghuan couldn't laugh or cry, his body was only 14 years old, and the old lady was already so anxious to get married, she interrupted the old lady's thoughts: "Grandma! What are you talking about, I want to spend more time with you year."

"Old lady, do I still need you to accompany me? Marry me early so that no one will want you in the future." The old lady raised her eyebrows and pretended to be angry, but Luo Qinghuan had already figured out her character clearly, knowing that now only I touched the old lady's hair, so I shook the old lady's arm with a bitter face, "Grandmother~"

"Grandmother is in charge of this matter. Let that surnamed Meng come to the house as soon as possible!"

Luo Qinghuan: "..."

In order to stay away from the old lady's burning heart of marrying a granddaughter, Luo Qinghuan took a few servants into the crowd under the pretext of appreciating flowers.

Looking at the man who was getting closer and closer in the distance, Luo Qinghuan's finally relaxed mood was instantly overcast.

"Second sister, long time no see." It was the only male in the house who spoke, the young master Shu Qinghe, and he finally found a chance to talk to Shu Qinghuan.He was so busy that he came over.Luo Qinghuan paused for a moment and looked back at him.Shu Qinghe inherited the outstanding looks of the second wife and Shu Wei. He has a handsome appearance and a gentle and elegant temperament that has attracted the hearts of many daughters. The original owner has never spoken to this eldest brother who is away all the year round, and always waits and sees from a distance. Standing, envious of his calmness.But Shu Qinghe is not a kind person. He can make full use of everyone around him to pave the way for him, including his direct sister Shu Xinyue. After Shu Qingya gained power, he immediately drew a line with the second wife, and even helped Shu Qingya frame her own mother. Very dangerous.But these are not enough for Luo Qinghuan to pay attention to. What she really needs to beware of is - Shu Qinghe covets her as the second younger sister.

Hearing his words, Luo Qinghuan turned around slowly, with a smile on her face: "It's been a long time, brother."

Shu Qinghe's eyes flickered slightly, and he deliberately took a step forward, reaching out to grab Luo Qinghuan's hand, but Luo Qinghuan took the first step back, Xin pointed to a blooming peony flower and said: "Brother, look at this The flowers are gorgeous in color and swaying in various shapes, which is really a rare top grade."

These words made Shu Qinghe stunned for a moment, it happened that the young master of Wang Shangshu's family passed by him, and couldn't help but glance at the peony that Shu Qinghuan was pointing at.

"What the second sister said is true." Shu Qinghe is not stupid, if outsiders see this kind of thing, his reputation will be ruined, so he simply echoed Luo Qinghuan's words.

Prince Shangshu Wang Daojie is a lustful person, and at the moment he was fond of Luo Qing, who was outstanding in appearance, and pretended to be unintentional, bumped into Shu Qinghe, and whispered in his ear: "Shu Qinghe, your sister?"

Shu Qinghe nodded with a smile, but kept his eyes on Luo Qinghuan for a moment, and introduced, "Daojie, this is my second sister, Shu Qinghuan."

……

A corner of Huating

Compared to the bustle of the palace next door, Xiuli Palace is quite deserted, and because it is the bedroom of the second prince's unfavored late mother and concubine, few palace people come here on weekdays.At this time, all the confidants in the palace were carefully selected by the second prince, and everyone guarded silently outside the main room.

"Um, ah—lighten~"

Many young and energetic guards couldn't help blushing secretly, some even had itches in their noses, and almost lost their composure. Fortunately, they all went through rigorous training. It's not like that.

While the guards were pretending to be deaf, a figure of a palace lady in pink appeared not far away. She stumbled towards the Xiuli Palace and even lost an embroidered palace shoe in panic.When the guards at the gate noticed something unusual, the maid was already very close to the Xiuli Palace.

"Help me, save me!" The palace maid looked at the guards and couldn't help shouting loudly, speeding up and running towards this side.The leading guard, Gao Feng's eyes froze, and when the maid was approaching the palace, she quickly stopped her, and the maid slammed into Gao Feng's arms.

Gao Feng was in a trance for a while, then put on a straight face and pushed the man out, and the court lady threw herself on Gao Feng again without giving up.

"roll!"

An angry guard kicked the maid away, motioning for others to pull her away, but as soon as she touched the maid's body, the maid immediately fainted to the ground.

All the guards were startled. When they rushed over, Gao Feng was about to lean over to check the maid's body, when a sharp shout from a distance broke the desolation of Xiuli Palace.

"Killed! Killed!"

The woman's scream really surprised everyone in the Imperial Garden. At this time, Miss Hua, the leader of the flower competition, was holding Queen Nalan's arm, chatting and laughing happily, and the queen's face suddenly changed when she heard the voice.
