The plum blossom chanting scene is in the front yard of Wangmei Pavilion. Wangmei Pavilion has a unique design. When you enter the front yard gate, there are walkways on both sides. Plum blossoms are planted in the huge yard in the middle. There are various varieties of cinnabar plum, green calyx plum, golden plum, and winter plum.

, Mei Renmei, etc., there are all names in this yard, colorful, competing with each other, so exciting.

Chen Xiuyan and others came around from the backyard and were now on the viewing platform of Wangmei Pavilion. They had a panoramic view of the hand-painted verandahs on both sides and the exquisite plum blossoms in the courtyard. Only then did she feel that Princess Hanshan's mansion was really capable of hosting a plum banquet.

No one may have so many varieties of plum blossoms in their house.

The short tables and mats are placed one by one on the corridor like a school. The four treasures of the study are placed on the low tables, as well as the corresponding names of each lady.

Luo Mingxin's position was in the middle. The position in the middle was for those of high rank, or the girl from the aristocratic family with the highest family status. The girls from each family took their places, and a group of people wearing heavy makeup or elegant and simple were competing to bloom on both sides of the plum garden. People competed with each other.

Huajiao, maybe this is the meaning of praising plum blossoms, Chen Xiuyan felt a little excited in her heart.

"I know it's not snow from afar, because there is a faint fragrance coming."

"It is known in the snow that spring has arrived, and the winter plum blossoms are dotted with beautiful branches."

"The plum blossoms and snow are fighting for the spring but they are not willing to fall, so Sao Renge spends money to comment on it."

…

"Okay, okay, all of them are very good. Everyone has prepared poems well this year." Princess Hanshan looked at the plum poems written on the paper and praised them without hesitation.

"I wonder what kind of poems Lord Wenshui has written?" As soon as Princess Hanshan finished speaking, her nanny stepped forward to help her search, and then took out a pair of hairpins in small regular script.

"The plum blossoms are three cents whiter than the snow, but the snow is less fragrant than the plum blossoms."

Someone read the poem and recited it, "Excellent literary talent, worthy of being a student from the Women's Academy."

"Princess Jin thought that she was a talented woman all over the capital back then, and what she taught was good."

"Although Lord Wenshui has an obscure background, he is very outstanding. No wonder the fifth prince of Tatar fell in love with her at first sight. It must have been the same when the King of Tatar met Princess An Ning."

"Princess An Ning and Princess Jin are two concubines from the capital. No wonder they are both favored by the royal family now." Many noble ladies had faint envy on their faces.

The King of Jin and the King of Tatar have high positions and powerful positions. It is enviable to many people that such a person can dote on a woman exclusively.

The edge of the poem paper in Princess Hanshan's hand was almost crushed to pieces. These people were inserting knives into themselves. It was a man's business. The men around him were out of line, and there was no such thing as Shen Guogong.

Chen Xiuyan watched the drama on the observation deck and knew clearly. It seemed that Princess Hanshan was not very popular in the circle of ladies in the capital. She dared to make innuendo in front of her face. This shows how Princess Hanshan was viewed by those in the palace.

If you have a low status in the middle, only others dare to look at the dishes.

However, the purpose of these people is not only to mock Princess Hanshan, but also because her own heart has been roasted on the fire. There must be a few who are trying to arouse the anger in Princess Hanshan's heart.

"Have you guys strayed from the topic? Today is a poem about plum blossoms." Chen Xiuyan brought back the topic with a smile, "Wenshui County Lord's studies are not bad, but not the best. I heard that Pingyuan County Lord is

There is poetry and calligraphy in my belly.”…

Princess Hanshan's gloomy expression improved a little, and her expression when looking at Chen Xiuyan improved a little.

"Then let's take a look at Pingyuan County Lord's masterpiece."

"It fell into pieces and turned into mud and ground into dust, but only the fragrance remains the same."

"Wow--"

The poems written by Pingyuan County Lord set off a wave of exclamations in the audience. Many people came to watch, and everyone's attention was focused on the protagonist. Chen Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief. She just hoped that the plum banquet would end soon.

Before Luo Mingxin came, she had been told by Chen Xiuyan to know how to hide her clumsiness at the right time, but not to let others offend her. Therefore, Luo Mingxin's poems were not low-key, but not the best, which made Chen Xiuyan very satisfied.

There was a competition in the "Yong Mei" category. Pingyuan County Lord won the first place and Luo Mingxin won the third place.

In addition to the rankings, there are also prizes. The first place is a set of first place, and the third place is a pair of gold and jade bracelets inlaid with gems. These are all produced by the palace. The prizes of the plum banquet every year are the queen mother and empress of the palace.

It was prepared by others, and the intrauterine delivery must be of high quality, so this trip can be considered a small gain.

The plum banquet trilogy has finally come to the last item. Chen Xiuyan thought it was something, but when she saw the pot throwing, the corners of her mouth twitched. It seemed that she was trying to save herself from the siege by having fun, which also ruined everyone's interest.

Chen Xiuyan originally planned to wait for the time to pass, but she couldn't bear to be invited. Princess Hanshan specially invited her.

"I heard that the Crown Princess of Jin is a good polo player. I thought that a competition like pot throwing would be the most suitable. I have to show it to everyone so that we can learn a lot."

Chen Xiuyan sighed inwardly, but stood up with a generous smile on her face, "Since Princess Hanshan invites you, of course it is more respectful than obeying. I have just seen your skills, so forgive me for trying to do what I do best."

Chen Xiuyan took six arrows and stood three feet away. There were six pots in front of her, with different colors, and the arrows were all corresponding colors. Chen Xiuyan matched them one by one, from left to right, and then inserted an arrow into the pot, and all six arrows were drawn.

middle.

"Okay." Many people cheered, and Chen Xiuyan turned around and saluted.

There were two people in Quanzhong before Chen Xiuyan, and there will be others after that. They are not unique, but they are also among the best. What they want is this kind of effect.

There are also rewards for the pot throwing competition, which are all the same. Only those who win all the prizes will get it. It is a hairpin with arrows and plum blossoms. The arrows are combined with plum blossoms. Princess Hanshan specially made it.

When the Plum Banquet Trilogy was over, Chen Xiuyan took Princess Changshou and Luo Mingxin on the carriage back home.

"You should not have fewer invitations like this in the future. Just behave like you did today." Chen Xiuyan looked at Luo Mingxin and said, "The official ladies and those in the capital who I had contact with in the past in Taiyuan Mansion were always a little surprised. While there is still time,

Study hard and learn Tatar by the way."

"Tatar?" Luo Mingxin was a little surprised, "Is there anyone in the capital who can speak Tatar?"

"Your uncle is looking for you, and he already has some clues. Someone in Mingyue Pavilion will say that your aunt will study with you then." Chen Xiuyan said, "When you get married, your aunt will personally send you to Tatar."

Luo Mingxin was extremely surprised, "Really?"

"Of course." Chen Xiuyan smiled and nodded, "Your uncle will go too."

"I want to go too." Princess Changshou hugged Chen Xiuyan's arm and said coquettishly.

"Prince Taiping will not agree." Chen Xiuyan touched Princess Changshou's little face apologetically.

"Then let grandpa go too. Grandpa has been there once anyway, so it wouldn't be a good idea for him to lead the way." Princess Changshou came up with an idea and said with a look of anticipation, "I will go back to Prince Taiping's Mansion tonight, and I will tell grandpa tonight,

I also want to see Tatar."
