Wei Bo, who was sitting a few seats away, was so angry when he heard that Wu Hongyi had set his sights on his sister. If he hadn't been held back by the servant, he would have gone to talk to him on the spot.
Wei Lingran was eating snacks when someone called her name suddenly. She almost choked. Fortunately, the maid was quick to bring her tea, which helped her recover quickly.
After figuring out what was going on, she subconsciously wanted to refuse.
She is younger than Zuo Yunshu and the others, and her understanding of poetry is poorer. It is good enough for her to be able to protect herself, but it is difficult for her to help others.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Wu Hongyi shamelessly said, "Sister Wei, your brother and I have known each other for a long time. How can you bear to see me being punished alone?"
Wei Lingran stopped talking about rejection. It seemed that all the people he knew well had passed away, and he was the only one left.
After struggling for a while, she agreed with an embarrassed look on her face, "Well, okay then!"
Seeing that she agreed, Wu Hongyi was immediately overjoyed, and he could hardly suppress the upward smile on his lips.
He was happy, but Wei Lingran was worried. His two delicate eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and he thought for a long time before he came up with two suitable lines of poetry.
This was the first time in all these years that Wu Hongyi was not punished to drink a drink during the Feihua Order. This feeling was indeed different.
After the flying flower order ended, the queen ordered people to bring a lot of flowers for the young ladies from each family to arrange on the spot. After the arrangement was completed, the talented people on the scene commented and voted.
The one with the most votes wins, and the winner can get the prize prepared by the Queen, a white jade hairpin with lotus flowers on two stems.
To be fair, the queen also had a screen placed in the middle to block the man's view.
In this way, when you review later, you only need to look at the flowers without looking at the people, and you can choose the truly good works.
After the screen was set up, the palace maids put various freshly picked flowers in baskets and placed them in the empty space between the seats on both sides.
Then they brought in vases, flower plates, flower pots, flower bowls, flower tubes, and flower baskets of various shapes and sizes, made of materials such as glass, ceramics, purple clay, copper, bamboo tubes, and rattan.
The flower arrangement this time is purely voluntary and not every lady is required to participate, so not many vases or utensils are prepared.
When the palace maids saw a young lady asking her servant girl to pick out flowers and flower arrangement vessels, they would then bring out the pruning tools.
Most of the participants in this round were unmarried and unengaged women. Their main purpose was to show themselves and leave a good impression in front of the queen and everyone.
Tian An and the others, including Shu Huai who was sitting in front of her, did not participate.
Tian An, Zuo Yunshu and others were already engaged, so there was no need.
Kary Ng and Wei Lingran were not interested. For them, it would be better to eat more cakes than to arrange flowers and fight for the hairpin which they knew they could not get.
Maybe I can get some inspiration from this and add a couple of new products to the store when I get back!
Princess Shuhuai was disdainful. Although her family was only a royal family, it was still an old and established family. Moreover, all her brothers were promising and did not need to rely on any skills to improve their confidence.
Whenever her family announced that they wanted to get married, many people would rush to curry favor with them.
Among the princesses, only Yonglin, who was confused, participated.
She was not affected at all by the Flying Flower Order just now, and was happily arranging flowers, but she did not notice the contempt and disdain in the eyes of the Queen and the other princesses.
A princess actually lowered her status to compete with a group of ministers' daughters for beauty. She was the only one in the whole audience.
If we lose to someone else later, it will be a disgrace to the royal family.
Seeing that the flower containers on the field were moved away one after another and the flowers had almost been picked, Tian An looked at the remaining flowers and felt it was a pity, so he asked Deng Xue to go up and get some that were still usable.
Flowers of various colors were piled on the table in front of me, and the rich floral fragrance immediately filled my face.
Tian An divided the flowers into three parts according to the depth of their colors.
Then after trimming and matching the branches, we start making the wreath.
The girl in front was curious, so she turned around and watched her braiding. After she finished braiding one, she took it and put it on her head like a familiar person.
She even asked her personal maid, "Does it look good?"
The maidservant was also very sweet-talking. She opened her mouth and said, "It looks beautiful! When the princess wears this wreath, she is simply a flower fairy!"
Shu Huai was overjoyed by the compliment, and she pulled Tian An to get closer, "Sister Anping, can you give me this wreath?"
Tian An kept his hands busy, and smiled faintly, "This was originally given to you, otherwise it wouldn't suit you so well!"
Shu Huai was surprised and happy, and had a better impression of Tian An.
Yaoyao, who was on the high platform, felt unbalanced when she saw Shuhuai wearing the wreath woven by Tian An, and immediately asked Hongtong to go downstairs.
When Hongtong arrived, Tian An had just finished weaving the second garland. Without waiting for Hongtong to speak, he handed it to her and said, "Yaoyao, this is the perfect outfit for you today."
Seeing Hongtong coming back with the garland, Yaoyao immediately took it and put it on her head happily.
After seeing this, the Queen casually praised, "Anping is such a skillful child."
The concubines around him seemed to have received some signal, and regardless of whether they knew him or not, they all started to praise Tian An.
Tian An was completely unaware of this and concentrated on weaving her wreath. She matched the colors of the wreath according to Zuo Yunshu and the others' clothes and makeup that day, and asked Deng Xue to give it to them after she finished weaving one.
By the time all the young ladies who participated in the flower arrangement had finished their work, Zuo Yunshu and the others each had a wreath woven by Tian An.
The scattered flowers were quickly cleared away and replaced with the flower arrangements created by the young ladies from various families.
The screen was removed, revealing a variety of flower arrangements to the male guests.
However, many people's attention was attracted by the people wearing garlands. They didn't want to stare at the girls, so they could only glance at them secretly.
When the Queen told everyone to start appreciating and commenting on the flower arrangements, everyone focused on the flowers in the vases.
A quarter of an hour later, the palace maids placed a red rose on each prince's desk. If they liked a flower arrangement, they could place the rose in front of the desk, which was considered a vote.
The work with the most roses in front of it wins.
The young masters naturally would not go forward to place the flowers themselves. After they saw a piece they liked, they would ask their personal servants to go forward and place the roses.
Just when everyone was struggling to decide which work to vote for the flowers, Zhao Yiming directly asked Jingyu to deliver the flowers to Tian An's desk.
Seeing this, An Yiji followed suit and asked An Yichen's servant to deliver An Yichen's flower to Zuo Yunshu.
Anyway, his brother is unconscious now and can't appreciate the flower arrangements, so he might as well give the roses to his future sister-in-law.
Xiao Chen and several engaged men seemed to have their Ren and Du meridians opened up, and they all gave flowers to their fiancées.
