After Concubine Mei and Concubine Yi, Concubine Rou also asked a few questions. Only Concubine Lan sat there with calm eyes and turned the beads in her hand.If it weren't for the way she was dressed, she would have thought she was an enlightened monk.

"Sister Lan, don't you have anything to ask?" Concubine Mei looked at Concubine Lan with a bit of disdain in her eyes.

If you want to chant sutras and recite Buddha's name so much, why don't you go to the temple and why do you stay here occupying space?If there was no Concubine Lan, she would be Concubine Mei now.

"Amitabha." Concubine Lan recited the Buddha's name, "Everything depends on fate."

Hearing Concubine Lan's answer, Concubine Mei said in her heart that she was bored, and then looked at Zhuang Wanning in a flattering manner, "Sister, the hibiscus flowers in the back are in bloom, why not go and enjoy the flowers."

Today’s post is in the name of flower viewing, so naturally there are flowers to enjoy.

Now is the season when hibiscus flowers are in full bloom. The queen likes hibiscus flowers and planted a large patch of hibiscus flowers behind her palace.At this time of year, hibiscus flowers bloom most beautifully, and the queen will pick and dry them herself for bathing in winter.

The Queen was in a good mood today, so she agreed to Mei Fei's suggestion, and the group went to the Queen's hibiscus garden.

This was the first time for everyone to see such a large area of ​​hibiscus flowers. They were blooming now, and they were so beautiful and dazzling.Just as a breeze blew by, some flowers fell from the branches, as if there was a rain of petals.

It was rare to see this beautiful scenery. Everyone was in a good mood, and some could not help but write poems.

Song Zishu and Yun Shang walked at the end. Neither of them would marry into the royal family, so they were here to see the flowers.

Yun Shang has been paying attention to the queen. She knows that it is not that simple for the queen to let her enter the palace today.

After admiring the flowers for a while, everyone sat down and the palace attendants quickly brought out carefully made snacks, all in the shape of flowers, echoing the hibiscus flowers not far away.

"I heard that the Queen's sister has a new cook. He comes from the south of the Yangtze River and is best at making pastries, but these?"

"Exactly, let's all try it today."

After hearing this, everyone curiously took a piece of snack and tasted tea, wanting to see how this snack was different from those sold outside.

Yun Shang also picked up a piece of snack. The one she picked up at random was a peach blossom-shaped snack. Before she ate it, she smelled a faint fragrance. It was a very special kind of floral fragrance that was not common. For a moment, she couldn't remember what kind of flower it was.

Others nearby didn't eat it immediately, and some whispered about what kind of flower it was.

Just smelling it is very fragrant, but I don’t know what it tastes like when eating it.

After everyone tasted the tea, they were all full of praise.

Yun Shang didn't eat it immediately. She always felt that something was not right.Considering the hatred the Queen and Zhuang Wanning had for her, she felt that there was something fishy hidden in it, and she felt that it was in this pastry.

Zhuang Wanning's eyes kept falling on Yun Shang. Seeing that Yun Shang was only holding it but not eating it, she smiled and said, "Why don't you eat it, Miss Yun, but you don't like it?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone's eyes fell on Yun Shang.

In full view of everyone, if Yun Shang didn't eat the cake, he would not give the queen face, but he would offend the queen.

Yun Shang observed carefully that the snacks were randomly placed on the table, and there was no guarantee who would eat each snack.Everyone had just eaten, so there was obviously nothing wrong with the snack.

"I just think the smell of this flower is very special and makes people like it. I'm guessing what kind of flower is used."

Zhuang Wan Ning smiled and said: "I heard that it was made by merging twelve kinds of flowers. The second lady couldn't guess that it is normal."

"It turns out that we need to use twelve kinds of flowers, so I asked myself why this flower is so special."

"Not only does it smell slightly floral, but you can also taste the flowers when you eat it."

"There should be peach blossoms in it, and I taste the peach blossoms."

The people nearby talked about the taste they tasted, and wanted to show their faces in front of the concubine opposite to deepen their impression.

Yun Shang also took a small sip. It was soft, glutinous and sweet in the mouth. There was indeed a faint aroma of peach blossoms when she tasted it carefully, but it just looked like it. She was sure that it was not peach blossoms.

After eating snacks, Mei Fei asked everyone to compose a poem or play a piece of music based on the situation.

Those who could be selected to enter the palace were all very talented, and they could write poems and play the piano. Soon someone volunteered to come forward.

The breeze is blowing on my face, surrounded by flowers, eating floral snacks and listening to melodious music, it is quite pleasant.

Among those who entered the palace, some could not clearly see Yun Shang as their opponent.The concubines sitting opposite were different. They knew in their hearts that Emperor Chu Wen would not let any prince marry Yun Shang.

They didn't know why Yun Shang was sitting here. Maybe it was the queen's purpose, or maybe it was the emperor's temptation.

No matter which way, they are not interested in Yunshang.

Yun Shang was enjoying her leisure time, admiring the flowers and appreciating their respective talents.

Several of them performed very well and were praised. The daughter of the Minister of War was even rewarded by the queen, which attracted many envious looks.

The queen not only organized a flower viewing banquet and called everyone into the palace, she also had to choose a concubine for the third prince.Concubine Yi passed away early, and Chu Yin was raised by the queen when she was a child.

She praised Miss Liu's family. Could it be that she intended to let this Miss Liu's family enter the Third Prince's Mansion?

While everyone was speculating, Ding Xirong stood up and said, "Empress, Miss Yun Er is the most talented girl in our capital. When it comes to piano skills, none of us can compare to her."

"In that case, Miss Yun Er, let's play a song."

The queen spoke, and everyone looked at Yun Shang, wanting to see what Yun Shang said.

You must know that during last year's competition, Yun Shang did not play the piano, but chose the war drum.

This is a royal palace and a flower viewing party, so it is not suitable for drumming, let alone war drums.

Many people are not convinced about her title of the most talented woman, but want to see if Yun Shang is worthy of the title.

Yun Shang had been paying attention to the queen and Zhuang Wan Ning. She saw that Zhuang Wan Ning was secretly winking at Ding Xirong, and Ding Xirong stood up to let her perform.When Zhuang Wan Ning returned to the capital and held her first banquet, she didn't call Ding Xirong over. She didn't expect the two of them to come together.

Want to see her laugh?

Yun Shang's lips curled up, and she walked to the Jiaowei Qin in front and sat down.

It’s not that she can’t play the piano at all, it’s just that her skill at playing the piano is not that high. It can be said that all the people present have surpassed her in their skill at playing the piano. She admits that she can’t compare in this aspect.

But playing a piece of music in its entirety is not a problem.

She liked a piece of music very much in her previous life and played it every day when she was learning the piano. Today she gave it to Zhuang Wanning and the Queen.

After seeing Yun Shang calmly walk to the piano and sit down, Zhuang Wanning frowned, waiting to see Yun Shang's joke. Could it be that Yun Shang really knows how to play the piano?

Ding Xirong was a little nervous. She always thought that Yun Shang was uneducated and incompetent. She tested Yun Shang during the Lantern Festival and found out that Yun Shang was not ignorant.

Is it possible that she also has high attainments in playing the piano?

Everyone had different thoughts, and the sound of the piano sounded...
