It was obvious that Yu Caiwei was being used as a pretext, but no one cared whether she agreed or not...

As soon as the three of them sat down, Zheng Wensheng pushed Xiao Cheng to Shang Yu's side.

The two of them were a good match, and as for Yu Caiwei, he had some interest in her.

"It's a rare opportunity for you two to be together, so sit together this time."

Xiao Cheng didn't know what he was thinking about, but he didn't refuse and sat down.

Then Zheng Wensheng pulled Zheng Zhuohua to the other side and pressed him next to Zheng Wenying.

"I'm tired of staying with Wenying every day. Brother Zhuohua, please be considerate and give me a chance to meet other ladies from noble families!"

Zheng Zhuohua looked at Yu Caiwei across Zheng Wenying. Seeing that she kept her head down and didn't know what he was thinking, he had no choice but to sit down.

After all, this is the position closest to Yu Caiwei.

After a few people sat down, nearly two-thirds of the seats on the entire inner island were still vacant.

But seeing that there were tables and chairs, it didn't look like there were no one sitting there, so I could only wait quietly.

After two quarters of an hour, a servant came hurriedly and whispered something in Zheng Wensheng's ear.

Then Zheng Wensheng pulled Xiao Cheng and Zheng Zhuohua out together, as if they were going to meet someone.

During this time, several young ladies crossed the canal and reached the inner island, then gathered in groups of three or four.

Zheng Wenying introduced her to Yu Caiwei softly.

"The one wearing the pink chest-length skirt is the daughter of the Imperial Censor, Li Xiuer."

"Sitting next to her is Duke Qi's youngest daughter, Qi Caicheng..."

Shang Yu just sat there without saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Suddenly everyone stood up, whether they were on the outer or inner islands, and looked towards the eldest princess.

A group of men walked in through the screen wall. The leader wore a jade crown, looked extremely noble, and had a gentle smile on his face.

"Eldest sister is well."

The several princes following behind him also paid their respects to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess smiled more affectionately, "How come you guys have time today?"

The Tenth Prince's voice was lively, and he couldn't hide his joy at not having to go to class: "Of course it's because the teacher asked for leave today!"

He is only ten years old this year. The queen was injured when she gave birth to the crown prince, so she was very old before she gave birth to the tenth prince.

Therefore, they spoil their children too much, but they also don't raise them to be lawless.

The princess tapped Li Jingchen's forehead with amusement and said, "It's a rare day for you to have a holiday, so have fun here today!"

"Go ahead, just ask your teacher to accompany you."

These people were all princes in the palace. The one leading them was naturally the crown prince, and everyone immediately saluted.

Xiao Cheng also had to teach these princes riding and shooting on weekdays. The skills he had acquired after more than ten years of fighting on the battlefield were more than enough to teach a few princes.

Therefore, except for the Crown Prince who had to learn the Imperial Way from the Emperor, the other princes would study the Four Books and Five Classics with the Grand Tutor in the morning, and learn riding and archery with Xiao Cheng in their spare time.

Xiao Cheng is going to attend the flower-viewing banquet today, so naturally he cannot teach them.

It seems that these princes came here directly after finishing their morning classes.

But it still seemed a bit strange that the prince came as well. I don’t know why.

The Crown Princess is the future Queen, and it is impossible to choose one at such a small blind date party.

Why is it that Prince Guangping is here too...

The eldest princess' eyes glanced secretly at Prince Guangping who was standing at the end, her heart full of inquiry.

Prince Guangping was born to the Imperial Noble Consort, and the Crown Prince was born to the Empress. It is easy to imagine that these two people would not have a good relationship.

What's more, there was that disgusting thing between the two of them back then, so there was no way these two would get together...

When did this prince become so close to Prince Guangping...

The group walked towards the inner island while talking and arrived at the single-person bridge.

The accompanying servant pulled the small bridge and the bridges on both sides outward in advance, and the bridge became twice as wide.

Yu Caiwei took a closer look and found it to be a clever idea.

It turns out that the wooden boards of the bridge can move with the bridges on both sides. As long as they are spread out to both sides and arranged in a staggered manner, the bridge will be able to accommodate two people.

Zheng Wensheng was in front, Xiao Cheng was in the middle, Zheng Zhuohua was behind and followed the prince. When they arrived at the inner island, they sat down in various places.

The Tenth Prince followed closely beside Xiao Cheng, and they seemed to have a very close relationship.

The prince sat on the other side, and Zheng Wensheng also moved his seat to accompany him.

After everyone was seated, several ladies sitting on the inner island covered their faces with fans and couldn't help but look at the princes.

The temptation to marry into the royal family is of course enormous, especially with the prince being here.

The future mother of a nation!

A role model for women all over the world!

This kind of temptation is not a little bit!

Yu Caiwei acted as if she hadn't seen the princes the whole time. She sat there very obediently, staring at the empty table, as if she wanted to figure out what kind of wood it was made of.

Another half an hour passed, and everyone's tables were gradually filled with all kinds of delicious dishes.

It's obvious that the princess has put a lot of thought into the dishes on this table.

Three meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, the number "seven" in Chinese Valentine's Day was chosen.

Honey pickled tofu, five-treasure fresh vegetables, stewed cabbage with taro, and plum ginger.

Embroidered lamb, pigeon with five flavors and apricot cheese, and steamed egg with seafood.

The five-flavor apricot curd pigeon is made with the tenderest baby pigeon meat, which is as big as a child's fist. It is covered with curd and is snow-white and shiny. It smells fragrant and tastes so good that even the bones are soft and rotten, but the skin is intact, which is also rare.

It's just a bowl of seafood steamed egg, but it also has a lot of twists.

Grilled clams, fresh shrimps, scallops, abalone, etc. are all cut into pieces to make the base, and egg custard is steamed on top. After being steamed, a few drops of sesame oil are added. When it is shaken, it looks like waves in the water without dispersing, which is very flavorful.

The cherry wine prepared by the woman had a slight aroma of wine mixed with the unique sweet and sour taste of cherries, which made the drinker's mouth water and was very appetizing.

You can even eat cherries at this time!

Many ladies' eyes lit up when they saw this delicacy.

The man wore a white pear blossom, which had a faint scent of pear blossom mixed with the aroma of wine, but it was not intoxicating.

As soon as the food came up, even Gu, who usually ate exquisite dishes every day, couldn't help but praise the princess again and again.

For a moment, both the host and the guests were having a great time and the atmosphere was very lively.

After the meal, the main topic finally came.

It’s not like everyone has played Qushui Liushang before, but this is the first time to play it with a girl.

The eldest princess sat on the main seat on the east side with a smile on her face. When she stood up, she was holding a glass of pear blossom liquor in her hand.

"It is truly an honor for you all to come and attend this Qixi Flower Viewing Banquet."

"This year is different from previous years. I specially prepared a wine-cup-flowing banquet to entertain everyone."

"I believe everyone has played this game before. When the wine flows to a man, he or she can write a poem or sing a song."

"If it falls on a girl, today is the Qixi Festival and also the Qiqiao Festival. I believe that all the ladies present here are skillful, whether they are playing the piano, dancing, or embroidering."

"This marriage is just like this wine glass. It falls into the water and follows fate. Wherever it stops, there will be fate. Just have fun!"
