No one cares whether Li Qingchun is happy or not. The flower viewing banquet was hosted by Li Mingyue, and as long as Li Mingyue is happy, that's all that matters.
Li Mingyue, holding the perfume in her hand, was obviously in a very good mood. She waved her hand and said, "Prepare a banquet!"
Wei Caier took the opportunity to shove the phoenix hairpin into Shen Bijun's hand and said, "Take it. This is my wedding gift to you in advance."
Chen Bijun looked at the phoenix hairpin in her hand, feeling somewhat excited. In fact, she also knew that her chances of winning were not high, so she did not think too much about what would happen if she could really get the phoenix hairpin.
But the truth is sometimes so unreasonable, which once again shows the importance of finding a reliable teammate to play in the qualifying match.
Some people on the side looked at the phoenix hairpin in Shen Bijun's hand and were so envious and jealous that they were going crazy.
But more people focused their attention on Wei Caier. In their eyes, Wei Caier is now completely different.
If Wei Caier had been rejected because of the broken engagement, it would have been impossible for her to join a prominent family in the future.
Now that we have the endorsement of the eldest princess, as long as it is not one of those top wealthy families, it is not impossible to consider it.
What's more, Wei Caier has perfume in her hands. This thing is obviously not for sale to the public now. If I go over and get close to her, maybe I can get a bottle. That would be a big profit!
Thinking of this, someone immediately took action. Soon, Wei Caier was surrounded by people she knew or didn't know. Everyone was chatting with her with smiles on their faces. It was as if at that moment, there was no more ugliness in the world, and all that was left was kindness towards Wei Caier.
The girls were so lively that they naturally attracted the attention of the talented men on the other side.
Looking at Wei Cai'er, who was surrounded by people, Zhang Xiuzhi asked curiously, "Who is that girl? Isn't this the eldest princess's flower viewing banquet? Why is she surrounded by so many people?"
Someone who was close to Zhang Xiuzhi glanced at Wei Caier and began to boast, "Brother Zhang, don't you know that young lady? That's right, after all, she doesn't show up much in public, but I just happen to know who she is."
"Hmm? Brother Wu, please give me some advice. I'll treat you to a meal at Yanlai Tower in a couple of days!"
"Hahaha, Brother Wu is truly a man of character. I can't keep you in suspense then. Speaking of this young lady, she has quite a background. She is the daughter of our current Imperial Censor, Wei Yong, and she's called Miss Cai'er."
"So this is Miss Wei Cai'er!" Zhang Xiuzhi suddenly realized, "Speaking of which, Miss Wei Cai'er is quite famous in the capital these days."
Brother Wu, who was standing by, also sighed, "Yes, she is a beauty, but it's a pity that the engagement was broken off. I wonder what Brother Zhang thinks about this matter?"
"Commenting on a girl's marriage is not what a gentleman like us should do, but I think Lord Wei did the right thing. Since the other party has violated the law, he must naturally accept the punishment of the law."
At this time, a servant hurried over and said, "My lords, the princess invites you to the banquet."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
They came to the flower viewing banquet just for those girls.
All the coquettish gestures she made here just now were to attract attention over there.
Now that I can attend the banquet, the distance between us is even closer. Being able to observe from close up is always better than watching from afar.
So everyone pretended to be polite to each other first, and then they couldn't wait to hold hands and go to Li Mingyue and the others.
Li Mingyue sat at the top, the girls sat in the lower rows, and the seats for these noble gentlemen were outside the corridor.
Because of the lighting, they couldn't really see what the people in the room looked like, which made them very anxious and they scratched their heads.
Zhang Xiuzhi also stretched his neck to look inside, but after looking for a long time he couldn't see anything clearly.
Just as he was about to think of a solution, he heard Li Mingyue's voice from inside, saying, "You talented scholars have been arguing for a long time. Do you have any poems?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiuzhi was delighted. Isn't this his strong point?
So he quickly stood up and said, "Reporting to the Princess, I have come up with a poem."
"Come in and read it to us!" Li Mingyue's voice was still so lazy.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiuzhi was delighted. Now he could finally go in and take a look openly.
So he took two steps at a time and quickly reached the inner hall. Then, suppressing his excitement, he spoke: "Facing the west wind, my hair sways in the smoke and green, and the past events flow like flowing water. Purple silk gauze with mandarin duck knot, the mirror and hairpin oath. I forget everything, I weave a palindrome with my hands, and I want to break my heart several times. The flowers are on the leaves, but the rain covers the clouds. Love is wide and the distance is narrow, the jade hairpin is fragile on the stone.
Outside the red building, sorrow weighs on the sky, clouds seem to fall, yet the moon still shines, unable to sleep. Weather changes are determined by fate, in vain the jade fades and the fragrance shatters. While you are drunk, don't you see the green grass of Changmen weeping in the spring breeze? A moment of wrong thinking, now regrets not having cut off the thorn hairpin sooner. Bamboos stand tall in the evening sky, my white hair leaning against the cold green.
this……
The women in the inner hall looked at Zhang Xiuzhi in front of them. This poem of Zhang Xiuzhi was clearly written from a female perspective, and every word was filled with a woman's sorrow and longing for her lover.
What was Mr. Zhang's intention in presenting such a poem in front of the eldest princess at the flower-viewing banquet?
Just when everyone was puzzled, Zhang Xiuzhi smiled and said, "I will give this poem to Miss Wei Caier. I hope Miss Wei Caier will not dislike it."
So that’s how it is!
Everyone suddenly understood!
Thinking about Wei Caier’s previous broken engagement, and then reading this poem, it is quite appropriate.
It turns out that Zhang Xiuzhi wanted to please Wei Caier. Could it be that he was interested in Wei Caier?
So a group of people looked at Wei Cai'er with envy. If Wei Cai'er could marry Zhang Xiuzhi, it would be a good story and would not be a disgrace to their Wei family.
A group of women once again looked at Wei Caier with envy and jealousy. Today, Wei Caier is undoubtedly a winner in life!
But what no one expected was that Wei Caier, who received this poem, did not look happy at all, but instead had a hint of anger on her face.
Just when everyone was wondering why, Wei Cai'er suddenly spoke up, "Thank you for your kindness, Master Zhang. However, this poem doesn't suit me, so I respectfully decline. I do have a poem in my hand, and since Master Zhang is an expert in poetry, why not appreciate it for me?"
Is this a poetry competition?
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly. They didn't expect to see such an interesting thing at the flower viewing banquet.
Chen Bijun couldn't wait to say, "Then Cai'er, please read it quickly. Once it gets out, it will surely become another great story."
Wei Cai'er smiled faintly and spoke confidently, "The thin clouds play tricks, the flying stars convey hatred, and the Milky Way passes by in the dark. When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world. Tenderness is like water, and the good time is like a dream. I can't help but look back at the Magpie Bridge on the way home. If love is long-lasting, why should we be together day and night?"
