The Almighty Princess just wants to farm

"I didn't expect him to be very independent."

Behind the rockery not far away, Nangong Xu raised his hand and flicked the silver mask on his face.

"Master, it's about the imperial edict..."

Xunjian stood behind Nangongxu and asked in a low voice.

"If we can stop it this time, there will be another time. Let's just wait and see."

"Yes."

……

"Princess, the flower party will start soon. Madam informs you to come and host it."

The little maid next to the Duke's wife ran over to deliver the message.

"it is good."

"Li'er, let's go there together."

"it is good."

The annual Peony Flower Fair is the best time for talented people to recite poems, paint, dance and play the piano. In addition to showing their talents, they also want to be the first in the flower fair.

According to the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dance, there are separate competitions, and the judges score to determine the annual oiran.

In addition to receiving the prizes prepared by the organizer, the oiran every year will also become the person that every family will strive for in the future.

"This oiran is just a name for many talents."

Dongfang Li sipped the tea with a faint smile.

"Everyone is thinking about how to stand out in the flower party. It would be better for you to just hide here and enjoy tea."

Xuanyuan Zheng said and sat next to Dongfang Li.

"Oiran is just a reputation. A real mistress does not need these fancy things."

"You are quite transparent, but Li'er, it's your first time attending the Flower Party, so someone will inevitably target you."

"It doesn't matter. I always take things as they come, Azheng. I wonder who the Duke's government has invited to be the judges this year."

Dongfang Li looked at the four empty chairs on the main seat.

"In previous years, it was the Duke's wife, Mr. Su and the eldest princess, but according to Ruixue, it seems that this year we also invited Prince Xu."

"Prince Xu?"

"Yes, the Duke's wife is good at piano and chess, and the eldest princess's dancing skills have also been praised by the king. Mr. Su's calligraphy and painting are unparalleled. As for Prince Xu, he is even more knowledgeable. However, due to physical reasons in recent years, He rarely shows up."

"Then what is this today?"

"That's not clear. Let's wait and see."

About a quarter of an hour later, the Duke's wife, the eldest princess and Mr. Su sat down at the judges' seats one after another, and a grand master's chair in the middle was carried down. Then, Nangong Xu's figure appeared on the stage. On top, he was still wearing a dark robe and a silver mask covering the scars on his face.

Changsun Ruixue introduced the content of this year’s flower party: with flowers as the theme, people can recite poems, paint, choreograph, and play the piano. As for chess skills, they can freely display them.

"My daughter Wen Rentong is willing to offer a dance."

Wen Rentong, dressed in dance clothes, walked onto the stage and gently blessed her body.

"Good boy, let's get started."

The eldest princess smiled and raised her arms.

"This Wen Rentong is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War. She did not attend the peony party last year due to illness. It seems that she is preparing to make a splash at the flower party this year."

Xuanyuan Zheng and Dongfang Li introduced each person on stage in a low voice.

Dongfang Li listened with great interest.

"I heard that Miss Dongfang is very talented. I wonder if I can get a glimpse of Miss Dongfang today?"

The speaker was Xiao Mingyue, the niece of the eldest princess. It was rumored that Xiao Mingyue was arrogant and domineering and often bullied others based on the eldest princess' love.

"Miss Xiao is too praiseworthy. Dongfang Li doesn't go out often. I didn't expect people to have such a misunderstanding."

Dongfang Li stood up and looked at Xiao Mingyue with a calm expression.

"Oh? Is it possible that the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, apart from being incompetent in martial arts, can't even write on the stage?"

"Mingyue, stop talking nonsense! Why don't you apologize to Miss Dongfang!"

The eldest princess scolded Xiao Mingyue softly.

"The eldest princess made a strong statement, but Dongfang Li's writing is simple and simple. Today, you have made a fool of yourself."

Dongfang Li walked to the stage gracefully, looked at the pen and ink on the side, thought for a while and then walked over. Under the attention of everyone, he outlined the lines and colors one by one.

After about an hour of burning incense, Dongfang Li put down the pen in his hand and turned towards Mr. Su.

"You're showing your shame in front of Mr. Su."

Two little maids dragged the painting to Mr. Su one by one.

a quarter of an hour

"Dongfang Li of the General's Mansion ranks third in painting, first in poetry, and first in calligraphy."

Mr. Su glanced at Dongfang Li and announced the result loudly.

"impossible!"

Xiao Mingyue loudly denied.

"Pass it on for everyone to enjoy."

Following Mr. Su's instructions, the two little maids dragged the painting and walked around the edge of the stage.

"Li Yatou's calligraphy is good, but she doesn't look like a master."

"Mr. Su, you are exaggerating. Li'er's handwriting is not one-tenth as good as grandpa's."

Mentioning his grandfather, Dongfang Li smiled slightly at the corners of his eyes.

At the end of the Peony Flower Festival, Dongfang Li won the first prize for a painting and won the title of oiran this year.

Xuanyuan Zheng is the first in piano skills and the third in chess skills.

Su Jianxi ranks first in paintings and second in poetry.

Shangguan Chuchu ranked first in chess and third in poetry.

"Li'er, please tell me how you came up with that poem. It's unprecedented and unprecedented."

Shangguan Chuchu pulled Dongfang Li's sleeves and her face flushed with excitement.

"The peonies in front of the court have no character, and the hibiscus on the pond is pure and innocent. Peonies are the only true national beauty, and they move the capital when the flowers bloom. I don't realize how beautiful it is on ordinary days, but when you describe it like this, it is simply the most beautiful thing in the world."

Xuanyuan Zheng was originally worried about her, but she gave him a surprise.

"Jianxi is willing to give up. I wonder if there are rubbings of Li'er's calligraphy?"

Su Jianxi looked at Dongfang Li tenderly.

"I don't know where it was originally put. If Jianxi doesn't mind, can I replace it with my words?"

"Okay, then I'll visit you another day and get your copybook, Susu."

……

After the guests dispersed, Dongfang Li followed Chun'er to the backyard, where the Duke's wife was standing at the door looking forward to it.

"Li'er..."

"aunt……"

Dongfang Li took a few steps quickly and came directly in front of the Duke's wife.

"Good boy, looking at how thin you are, you must have been wronged in the mansion."

The Duke's wife looked at Dongfang Li with tears in her eyes.

"Aunt, I'm fine. The General's Mansion is my home. How can I be wronged in my own home?"

"Mom, let's go in and talk. Li'er has just been tired for a long time."

"Yes, yes, Ruixue is right. Come on, let's go in and talk."

The Duke's wife took Dongfang Li's hand and turned around to walk into the room.

Changsun Ruixue looked at herself who was lagging behind, as if she had been forgotten, and shook her shoulders in helplessness.

"I have seen the Duke."

"Get up, we are all a family, there are not so many rules."

Grand Duke Sun Yunting looked at Dongfang Li, who had a beautiful appearance and elegant behavior, and nodded happily.

"You must already know that your father will come back to garrison Dadu at the end of the year."

"Yes, the government has received news from my father."

Regarding Changsun Yunting's straight to the point, Dongfang Li didn't panic at all, and was surprisingly steady.

"Marriage has been a major matter since ancient times. Parents have ordered matchmakers. The king intends to find a marriage for you. What do you think of it in comparison?"
