The next day is the Camellia Party.

Mu Xianyi dressed up to attend. He was both Princess Jincheng and the daughter-in-law of Duke Zhen, representing the face of the emperor and Duke Zhen, so he naturally couldn't be left behind.

The camellia festival was held in the back garden. There was an open space and many pavilions and small pavilions. It was a good place to visit. Those camellias were arranged along the road, and the camellias of various colors competed in splendor. .Wind lanterns of various colors are hung beside the small pond, even in the daytime, it is also silver light and snow waves.Around the willow trees are hung tassels with silk silk and paper silk, which is very beautiful at first glance.It's a beautiful day, and it's rare to have such a sunny day in winter, and the guests are also full of interest.

The female relatives of several important officials came, all accompanied by Mrs. Zhen Guogong and Mu Xianyi, and the young masters were led by the Ling family brothers to sit in the front hall.

These female relatives are all talking about the plays they watched in the past few days, saying that today a troupe came to the capital, and performed a few new plays, how good they are, and so on. A beautiful woman in a red dress slowly walked towards him:

"I haven't seen the princess for a long time. The princess is becoming more and more beautiful."

This person's name is Wen Qianxue, and she is 20 years old. She is the eldest daughter of Wen Luoshan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. She was married the year before last to Liang Shijin, the eldest son of An Guogong.Mu Xianyi met her once in the palace in the early years, but the two of them were four years apart in age, and they couldn't talk about going together, so they didn't know each other well.

Mu Xianyi only thought that she was here to say hello, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Liang is the one, I met once in the early years, and now married as a woman, she is more gentle and virtuous, suitable for an IKEA."

Wen Qianxue slowly sat down on the eight-treasure stool beside him, Guazi's slightly long apricot eyes carried some deep meaning, and her bright red lips curled up: "I was in the garden just now, and I saw a girl from your family. Maid, I almost mistook the person, thinking it was the old man."

"Oh?" Mu Xianyi wondered, "Which girl is lucky enough to look like Mrs. Liang's old friend?"

Wen Qianxue pointed her green onion-like jade finger at a girl not far away who was holding tea fruit, and said, "Here, that's her. It's not my old friend, she was in Hongwen Academy three years ago. A famous singer."

Mu Xianyi was startled, as if a basin of cold water had been poured down his head, his body felt cold even under the sun.

But with a curious look on his face, he said, "Diva? Has Mrs. Liang met her before?"

Wen Qianxue smiled and shook her head, then sighed and said: "She is also a poor person. She is talented and famous, and she is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I was curious at the time, so I asked someone to bring me a small portrait of her... ...they look exactly like the princess's maid."

"Oh, that's how it is." Mu Xianyi nodded, and smiled again, "It would be strange if they were exactly the same. It's just that the maids in our house are all clumsy, and I'm afraid they don't have the aura of that singer .”

Sure enough, there was something wrong with Yinping - she looked exactly like Yurong, so when Ling Xuetang saw her that day, she had a strange look... Ling Xuetang clearly said that he has no gender distinction towards Yurong Love, then, brought her back to the mansion to protect her, is it because of the guilt towards Yurong?

However, even so, I still feel unhappy in my heart. Is it because I am too stingy?

He was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard someone report that the prince was coming. He should be very happy that the prince came to praise him, but because of Yinping, he couldn't be happy at all.He got up slowly, with only a little smile on his face, and asked:

"Why is the prince brother here? Didn't he also come to praise me? Where is he now?"

Luan Jing smiled and said: "My lord, don't be impatient. His Royal Highness is still talking to Duke Zhen and his son-in-law in the front hall."

"So that's the case, let's wait a bit." Mu Xianyi said, and went to order someone to welcome Mu Jingluo, but before he finished the order, someone reported that His Highness the Fourth Prince had also come.

Now the female family members in the garden are even more delighted—the prince is married, and married Wu Mengyun, the daughter of Wu Baoya, the first assistant university scholar, but the fourth prince, Mu Jingchen, is not yet married, and the girls who come today are all waiting to be married , and they are both the daughters of important ministers, and they were originally candidates for Mu Jingchen's wife.Usually there is no chance to meet and get close, isn't it just the time to meet?

Mu Xianyi's smile was brighter than before, and he said: "That's really good, Baohan, please hurry up and make tea, you know what kind of tea my two brothers like to drink."

Hearing this, Baohan's delicate face was full of joy and pride: "Yes, princess!"

Mu Xianyi went back to the pavilion to help Mrs. Zhen Guogong out. After all, the crown prince and the fourth prince are noble, and everyone present will go to greet them:

"Mother, don't be nervous. My two brothers are easy-going people. They probably heard that the town government's mansion is holding a camellia party, so they came here to join in the fun."

Mrs. Zhen Guogong patted his hand with a smile: "Mother knows that the two Highnesses are giving you face, and we are also honored!"

"Where?" Mu Xianyi said with a smile, and was leading everyone to the entrance of the back garden, when he saw Duke Zhen and brothers from the Ling family bringing Mu Jingluo and Mu Jingchen.

Today, the brothers of the Ling family are dressed more formally, they are crow-blue and blue-colored round-neck brocade robes respectively, while the crown prince Mu Jingluo is wearing a willow bud-yellow python robe, and Mu Jingchen is wearing a green bamboo-colored coiled robe. In the brocade clothes with dragon patterns, Mu Jingluo was handsome and noble, Mu Jingchen was handsome and unrestrained, and although Ling Xuetang was not as well-dressed as the two of them, she had delicate features, handsome facial features, and a serious imposing manner, and she was not inferior to the two of them at all.

A group of people slowly entered the backyard, and Mu Xianyi helped her mother-in-law to come forward. Everyone bowed down and saluted, and Mu Xianyi just blessed her playfully:

"I've met the prince's brother, how come the prince's brother and the fourth emperor's brother come to my camellia meeting when they have time?"

Both the prince and the fourth prince called Pingshen, only to see the prince Mu Jingluo smiled and said: "What else? You invited so many guests, but you didn't invite me and Jing Chen, you should be punished!"

Mu Xianyi smiled and said: "Aren't I afraid that you are busy with your affairs? I have to trouble the two brothers to support the situation, and my father will say that I am pulling you out of business! You have this consciousness yourself, come on That's good."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Mu Jingchen said with a smile: "Emperor sister is the one who knows how to get cheap and act obediently. Not to mention us, even the emperor can't do anything about her!"

Everyone laughed again, but now they really realized that Princess Jincheng is really favored!

A group of people walked to the Changhe Hall in the back garden and sat down. Although there were many people, it was fortunate that the Changhe Hall was large, and those who could not sit down were arranged to go to the back hall of the Changhe Hall.

After sitting down, Baohan served tea.

Mu Xianyi said to the two of them: "This is the tea we just got from the Duke of Zhen's mansion. It is said that it is produced in Yangzhou. The tea looks like Zhang Xu's wild grass and its color is like ink, so it is named 'Zhang Dianmo' , although it is not as famous and precious as the top ten famous teas, but it is superior in its unique taste, with sweetness and bitterness, and a tangy fragrance, why don't you try it for the prince and the fourth brother?"

"Is there really such a strange tea?" Mu Jingluo looked at the tea leaves in the teacup and asked, "If so, then I really want to taste it."

Mu Jingchen, who was sitting under him, said with a smile: "If this is the case, I will not only taste it, but also take some away. For such a good thing, the imperial sister and the Duke should share it!"

Mu Xianyi smiled brightly when he heard the words, and said to Ling Xuetang: "Look, son-in-law, my brother-in-law even said that I was a good boy, but he obviously wanted to take it away after drinking it, taking advantage of our Zhen Guogong's mansion! "

Ling Xuetang gave him a doting smile, and was about to say something, when she heard a "poof", it turned out that the prince Mu Jingluo spit out a mouthful of blood!

With a sound of "clang", the teacup in Mu Jingluo's hand fell to the ground and was smashed into pieces immediately.

"The tea is poisonous! Protect the prince, protect the prince!!"
