"It's rare that all the younger sisters are able to gather together today, how about we have a drinking order with the theme of flowers?" Seeing that the atmosphere of the flower viewing party is not lively enough, the queen suggested.

"Wouldn't it be nice to have flowers but no wine? The concubine heard that the mincemeat wine in the empress's palace is mellow and clear. I wonder if the sisters will be lucky enough to taste it?" Concubine Qi said with a smile.

"It's just a little fruit wine, what's the big deal, Jianqiu, go and get the mince wine, and ask the imperial dining room to bring some snacks." The queen ordered.

"Yes." Jian Qiu smiled and left the imperial garden with a few young maids.Soon, Jian Qiubian came back with fruit wine and snacks, and the queen took all the concubines to play the drinking order in the courtyard.

"Since we have the wine, let's start with me." The queen smiled and said to the concubines below.

"It would be best if the empress came to take the lead, the sisters are all waiting." Concubine Qi complimented.

"One year's spring's beauty will be ruined, and then I will look for Yao, Huang, Wei and Zi." The queen pondered for a while, and said clearly, the one she chose was naturally her favorite peony.

"It must be when the peonies are in full bloom, and the city will be full of joy." Concubine Qi continued with a smile, the intention of currying favor with the queen was obvious.

"The peony is the favorite of the spring, why ever envy the peony." Concubine Hua raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly.

"Today's red peony, some flowers are old and some are new." As soon as Concubine Hua finished speaking, Mrs. Fu Cha followed up, with obvious irony.

"Scattered flowers are becoming more and more charming, and Asakusa has no horseshoes." Concubine Li glanced at Mrs. Fucha and said.

"Luohong is not a ruthless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect the flowers." Concubine Jing said gently.

"Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely." Mei Zhuang continued.

"The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the meditation room has deep flowers and trees." Ling Rong also recited a sentence casually.

"..."

Concubines, you continued to say one sentence after another, and there was a trace of gunpowder in the excitement.

"Isn't the nobleman proficient in poetry and poetry? Why hasn't he opened his mouth all the time, but he doesn't like those of us with little knowledge, and doesn't bother to play with us?" Li Pin looked at Zhen Huan and said strangely.

"My concubine is too serious, my concubine is ignorant, I haven't thought of a suitable poem for a while, it's not as ingenious as my wife's ingenuity." Zhen Huan said hastily.

"It is said that Zhen Yuan is good at teaching women, it seems that the rumors may not be credible." Concubine Li looked at Zhen Huan with a little contempt and said.

"Sentimental peonies contain spring tears, powerless roses lie on dawn branches." Zhen Huan clenched the handkerchief in her hand and whispered lightly.

"You..." Hearing the sarcasm in it, Li Pin was furious.

"Xiaohe just showed her sharp horns, and a dragonfly has already stood on her head." Cao Guiren said in time, interrupting the vicious words that Concubine Li was about to utter.

"Cao Guiren lost." Zhen Huan said flatly.

"Hey, look at me, I forgot to use flowers as the theme. I would like to admit defeat, I deserve to be punished, I will punish myself with a cup, and everyone will continue." Cao Guiren said with a smile.

Cao Guiren's "defeat" seemed to have completely detonated everyone's repressed jealousy, and the other concubines who were not very favored at all began to fight Zhen Huan with each other.It has to be said that although the number of concubines in the harem is not large, the quality is still very good. Regardless of their status, each of them can say a few lines of poetry.Even though Zhen Huan has read a lot of books, it is still a bit difficult to resist.

Ling Rong and Mei Zhuang didn't get involved, they just watched the farce in front of them from the sidelines.In the end, Concubine Hua became a little impatient, and everyone stopped their arguing.

"If it weren't for this drinking order, I wouldn't even know that there are so many talented sisters in the harem. Since you have talents, don't hide them. Your Majesty likes talented women the most, and there are so many sisters." Study like Wan Gui." The queen said kindly.

"Yes, the concubine respectfully obeys the Queen's order." Everyone said in unison, Zhen Huan's face became more and more ugly, but she could only bow her head and endure.

"After playing for a long time, my sisters must be bored. The flowers in the imperial garden are blooming so well, why don't my sisters choose a flower to wear, and I will live up to the scenery of this spring day." The queen suggested. .

"Thank you, ma'am." Everyone said in unison.

The custom of hairpin flowers has been around for a long time. The queen took the lead in picking out a half-blooming pink peony flower, while Concubine Hua picked out a blooming peony flower.The other concubines also began to choose their favorite flowers one after another, and the atmosphere became lively again.Ling Rong picked a pink rose flower that was in good bloom nearby, and Mei Zhuang picked a yellow rose flower. The two put flower pins on each other's hair and smiled at each other.

"Sister Mei." Zhen Huan's voice suddenly rang in her ears, and both Ling Rong and Mei Zhuang were taken aback.

"Master Wan." Mei Zhuang nodded lightly.

"Sister, can I take a moment to talk?" Zhen Huan said eagerly.

"Since Wangui and Sister Hui have something to say, my sister will leave first." Lingrong left the place of right and wrong tactfully. Although she was a little worried about Meizhuang, she was even more unwilling to become a scapegoat.

Ling Rong found a flower bush with few people and stood there, looking at the group of warblers and swallows not far away.The Fucha family was surrounded by many people, including familiar faces and some unfamiliar faces, and it was impossible to tell whether they were sincere or malicious.The place where Mei Zhuang and Zhen Huan were standing was relatively quiet and looked relatively safe, but it was still not too far away from the crowd, so it was not considered safe.

Seeing that Fucha started to show off her box of incense powder again, Ling Rong was a little worried, and carefully looked for the most likely place where the cat Songzi appeared.At the beginning, she used the scent of the incense powder to guide the cat, Songzi, to attack the nobleman of Fucha.I don't know what will happen without her as an accomplice this time.

Mausoleum carefully observed all the entrances and exits, hidden corners and trees, but found no trace of the cat.The cat is too nimble, and its whereabouts are hard to find. Ling Rong had no choice but to give up, and only carefully watched everyone's every move.

"Meow!" Suddenly, a rather shrill cat meow resounded in the crowd, followed by a woman's scream. Everything happened in an instant, and the crowd had no time to react.

Zhen Huan and Mei Zhuang who were not far away also subconsciously looked towards the place where the incident happened. The cat was frightened and rushed out of the crowd at this moment, running towards Zhen Huan and Mei Zhuang in a panic.Zhen Huan was afraid of cats, so she involuntarily hid back.For some reason, Zhen Huan seemed to have been hit by something, her body suddenly tilted, and she bumped into Meizhuang beside her.Mei Zhuang couldn't help but fell towards the direction of the crowd. The crowd was already chaotic, so Mei Zhuang was hit again and fell to the side.

Although Nanny Li and Caiyue next to Meizhuang tried their best to help them, they still couldn't completely avoid Meizhuang's injury, and Meizhuang was knocked to the ground. Fortunately, Meizhuang didn't land on his stomach, and Caiyue was under his body Softened some of the shock.

Ling Rong, who had been observing from the outside, could barely make out that the cat rushed into the crowd from the upper left direction, heading directly towards the nobleman of Fucha.The nobleman of Fucha was frightened, and the cat was also frightened, which triggered a series of tragedies.The person who bumped into Meizhuang was Cao Guiren!Ling Rong had to wonder if she was fishing in troubled waters!

Ling Rong hurriedly walked in the direction of Meizhuang, ready to check the situation of Meizhuang, but Zhen Huan's first reaction was not to look at Meizhuang, but to look at Huanbi beside her!This subconscious movement was watched by Ling Rong who had been tense all the time, Ling Rong's heart moved, and his expression was inexplicable.

Suppressing all the thoughts in his heart, Ling Rong hurried forward with sapphire glass to check the situation of Mei Zhuang.

"Sister Hui! Are you okay? But where is the injury?" Ling Rong didn't dare to move his eyebrows, so he could only ask anxiously.Zhen Huan also wanted to move forward, but was blocked by Cai Xing on one side.

"It hurts...it hurts..." Mei Zhuang cried out, clutching his stomach.

"Qingyu, hurry up! Go get the imperial physician!" Ling Rong ordered.

"Yes! I'm going now, servant girl." Qingyu trotted all the way to the Imperial Hospital, while Liuli helped Nanny Li take care of Meizhuang.

"My lord, relax, take a deep breath, and feel where the pain is?" After all, Nanny Li is an experienced person, and she still calmly guides Meizhuang's emotions at this time.

"Huh...huh...waist...the hip on the right...pain the most." Mei Zhuang tried to calm down his emotions and said intermittently.

"What about the stomach?" Ling Rong asked worriedly.

"It's just a little pain." Mei Zhuang gradually calmed down, and said after feeling it carefully.

"That's good, that's good." Nanny Li breathed a sigh of relief, gave Mei Zhuang one of the birth-protecting medicines she carried with her, and waited for the arrival of the imperial physician with peace of mind.

At this time, the chaos in the crowd had its consequences. Mrs. Fu Cha was frightened and hit, her fetus moved, and her lower body was bleeding. The situation was not optimistic; Xia Dongchun and Li Pin were also implicated, what a coincidence I was scratched by a cat on my face, but I don't know if it will leave a scar.

The injured concubines were all sent to the Kunning Palace nearby for diagnosis and treatment, so the situation was serious, the queen mother and the emperor were alarmed, and they came to visit the Kunning Palace in person, and more than half of the imperial doctors on duty at the Imperial Hospital also came. Kunning Palace was full of people.

Ling Rong brought sapphire glass to accompany Mei Zhuang for diagnosis and treatment in the Dongpei Hall. Fortunately, the fetus in Mei Zhuang's womb was already old and basically fully developed. So, the fetus can still be born safely.This made both Mei Zhuang and Ling Rong heave a sigh of relief, although Mei Zhuang would suffer some hardships if he sprained his waist, but it was the greatest luck to keep the fetus in his womb.

The Fucha family in Xibeidian was not so lucky. Although the bleeding stopped, whether the fetus could be saved or not depended on her luck.Another tragic character is Xia Dongchun, who was scratched by a cat on his forehead, and the deep wound is likely to leave scars; in comparison, although the cat's claw marks on Lipin's cheek are shallow, as long as the wound is taken care of, Has little effect.

The emperor was furious about this matter, and ordered the death of Songzi's cat, and ordered the harem not to keep cats in the future!Cao Guiren and Zhen Huan who collided with Meizhuang, because it was an unintentional mistake, the emperor did not give any practical punishment, but only comforted and comforted Meizhuang.Mei Zhuang seemed to have no illusions about the emperor, and calmly accepted the result, which surprised Ling Rong.
