Chapter 1103: You still have a conscience
"Puff!"
Princess Linghua laughed.
“Ohh…”
A girl covered her face and ran away crying.
Everyone: “…”
Tang Bao: “…”
Tang Bao reflected on herself and wondered if she had gone too far.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Tang Bao looked like she had done something wrong, which made people feel distressed.
Princess Linghua's expression straightened, and she looked at Tang Bao and said seriously, "Of course you are wrong!"
Tang Bao: “…”
I met you in vain!
Is that all I have to say?
Do you know what tea art is?
Princess Linghua, however, looked at him with a warning, saying, "Don't you understand the principle of seeing through things but not speaking them out loud?"
Tang Bao: “…Oh.”
You still have a conscience.
Otherwise I will break up with you.
"Miss Su is young and inexperienced in worldly affairs. Princess Linghua, please stop talking." Xuanyuan Hui said hurriedly when she saw that the atmosphere had become awkward again.
After saying that, he looked at Chunliu who looked nervous and said, "Hurry up and help your girl to the guest room to rest, sober up, and take good care of her."
"Yes." Chunliu quickly agreed and went to help Bai Shuqing.
Two maids from the palace also went over to help.
Bai Shuqing was helped away in a daze.
However, the awkward atmosphere still exists.
As for the girl who ran away crying, naturally a maid also chased after her.
Princess Linghua glanced at the remaining girls who were feeling embarrassed and ashamed, and curled her lips.
However, he didn't say anything.
After all, this was a banquet hosted by Prince Rong's Mansion.
If the disturbance continues and disrupts the banquet, it will be a disgrace to the Prince Rong's Mansion.
Anyway, after hearing what Bai Shuqing said, these girls didn't dare to jump around anymore.
Not only do I not dare to jump around today, I'm afraid I will be embarrassed to go out for a long time.
What's more, these girls are all concubines' daughters in the family.
Otherwise, he might not have done something that was not worthy of being made public.
"I didn't expect Bai Shuqing to be so righteous." Princess Linghua said.
Tang Bao nodded.
However, she felt that Bai Shuqing had been avoiding her today.
It seems that I have to talk to her someday...
"It's all my fault today." Xuanyuan Hui said with a smile, "I'll drink a glass myself as an apology to everyone."
After saying that, he picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
"Sister Hui, you are too kind."
"This has nothing to do with Sister Hui..."
"We should toast Sister Hui..."
“That’s right…”
A group of girls chatted at once and finally managed to liven up the atmosphere.
I have to say that as the legitimate daughter of the royal family, Xuanyuan Hui can be so humble, which is really impressive.
Someone like Princess Linghua could never do what Xuanyuan Hui did.
At this time, someone suggested, "Since you sisters have written so many poems, why don't we rank them and have a go at it? It would be fun, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the group of girls immediately became interested.
"Okay, okay, I think Sister Ran's line, 'Putting a Jade Hairpin on Your Bare Hands,' is the most wonderful..."
"Sister Liu's line, 'Half-faced Spring Peach Blossom, Reluctant to Speak,' is unique..."
"I think Sister Su's words—this is the most beautiful thing in the world, the most exquisite..."
As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere became quiet.
Everyone looked towards Yang Ran.
Yes, the one who said this was the eldest daughter of the general’s mansion - Yang Ran.
Yang Ran calmly accepted everyone's gazes and said with a gentle smile, "The peony is the king of flowers. Sister Su's words have fully expressed the nobility of the peony. No other words can surpass it."
Xuanyuan Min said unconvincedly: "That may not be the case. Who knows, someone else may come up with a better Peony Poem later..."
Zheng Suxin smiled slightly and said, "Min'er is right. Perhaps someone has already come up with a better poem, but hasn't had the chance to express it yet."
"Miss Zheng is absolutely right..."
Many girls nodded.
The daughter of the Prime Minister and the niece of the Imperial Concubine, who would dare not give her face?
Xuanyuan Hui smiled and said, "In my opinion, we are just women in the boudoir, not great scholars. Our comments are based on our own preferences, and it is difficult to judge the quality. Why don't we wait until the end, sort it out, and hand it over to those reputable people for judgment?"
As soon as Xuanyuan Hui finished speaking, the eyes of the group of girls lit up.
"That's great..."
"It's Sister Hui's intelligence after all..."
“…”
Xuanyuan Hui listened to what everyone said, smiled lightly and said nothing.
However, he turned around and glanced at his trusted maid.
The maid nodded at Xuanyuan Hui.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the seats of the ladies in front.
A group of noble ladies either lowered their heads or stretched their necks to look into the water.
I saw a golden lotus slowly floating in the water.
"Oh my god, it really is a golden lotus..."
"I never thought the golden lotus raised by the princess would actually bloom..."
"Legend has it that this lotus flower blooms only once every hundred years..."
"This auspicious sign probably means that the princess possesses great virtue..."
"We are now blessed by the princess and have seen the golden lotus. We will have to go to the Buddha to express our gratitude in the future..."
"Exactly, exactly..."
A group of noble ladies were talking about it in shock or envy.
After hearing what people said, Princess Rong couldn't help but look smug even though she was used to being flattered.
You know, she bought this golden lotus at a high price and raised it carefully for several years.
I originally thought that if it could bloom, I would present it to the Empress Dowager.
It is possible that once you see the golden lotus, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, you will be able to leave Tianlong Temple and return to the palace.
In this way, Prince Rong’s Mansion can be considered to have accomplished a great feat.
Who would have thought that she was one step too late, the golden lotus did not bloom, and the Empress Dowager got the Buddha's Heart Orchid and returned to the palace.
It is impossible to say that I have no regrets.
But, there is nothing that can be done to save the situation.
Fortunately, revealing the news of the golden lotus's blossoming will surely win a lot of prestige for the palace.
In fact, according to Princess Rong's original intention, she wanted to present the whole golden lotus to the Queen Mother.
However, the maidservant who was with my daughter just now came forward and told her about her plan.
Princess Rong thought about it for a while, and finally reluctantly picked the golden lotus and put it into the winding river from upstream.
If she could gain a good reputation for her daughter through this, all the efforts she had put in over the years would be worthwhile.
Old Lady Su and Madam Xia looked at the golden lotus in the water, their faces full of curiosity.
There is no way around it, this golden lotus seems to be born to glow, its majestic appearance makes people want to worship it.
Someone exclaimed, "I wonder which girl this golden lotus will stop in front of?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the heartbeats of the noble ladies who came with their biological daughters quickened.
Everyone was praying in their hearts, and the golden lotus stopped in front of their daughter.
This will not only improve the family's reputation and prestige, but also improve the prospects of a daughter's marriage.
As for those ladies who did not bring their daughters, or only brought their concubines' daughters, that was a different matter.
In short, everyone has their own thoughts.
For a moment, a group of noble ladies all stared at the golden lotus in the water.
The golden lotus slowly floated towards the girls...
