In the past, the Qionglin Banquet was basically hosted by the Ministry of Rites, but this year's Qionglin Banquet was an exception.
This year's Qionglin Banquet was hosted by Shangshu Ling Lu Jin and assisted by the Ministry of Rites.
The Ministry of Rites sent Minister Ling to assist the Minister of the Chancellery. At this time, Minister Ling was in the Qionglin Garden, along with his son Ling Zhiheng.
Ling Zhiheng loved the hustle and bustle, so he begged his father to bring him in.
As soon as Ye Zelin and his wife arrived at Meiting, Ling Zhiheng saw them from afar and ran over with his long legs, "Yushi, sister-in-law!"
"Zhiheng?" Ye Zelin was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Ling Zhiheng to appear in Qionglin Garden.
Ling Zhiheng chuckled, "My father is the Minister of Rites. He and the Minister of the Chancellery are in charge of this Qionglin Banquet. I asked my father to bring you here. I knew I would run into you at Qionglin Garden!"
He tilted his head to look at Hua Fushu, "Sister-in-law, why are you here too?"
Hua Fushu said, "I'm here to watch the fun."
Ling Zhiheng seemed to have found a like-minded friend, "I'm here to watch the fun, too."
Because Ling Zhiheng was Ye Zelin's friend, Hua Fushu's impression of him improved a little, and he didn't dislike Ling Zhiheng so much anymore. "Whose fun are you here to watch?"
She remembered that this guy went to the Imperial Examination Hall specifically to see if the third son of the Lu family had failed the exam in order to see the excitement he had experienced.
This time, whose fun does he want to see?
I came here for a stroll because of the lively Qionglin Banquet.
Ling Zhiheng really didn't like Hua Fushu's words, "Sister-in-law, you can't say that. I just came here purely to enjoy the spring, and watching the fun is just a side thing."
"What's the difference?" Hua Fushu pretended to be stupid.
This guy said he came to Qionglin Garden to enjoy the spring, but he didn't bring any friends with him. Who would believe that he came to enjoy the spring?
Ling Zhiheng argued, "It's different. Beautiful scenery can be found everywhere, but excitement doesn't happen often. Didn't you see how grim the Shangshu Ling's face was? He was in charge of hosting the Qionglin Banquet, and his son couldn't make the list and couldn't attend the banquet. His face was as grim as it could be."
Hua Fushu was confused by him and simply ignored Ling Zhiheng.
Who else but Ling Zhiheng would go to see Shangshu Ling under the pretext of enjoying the spring?
Ye Zelin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Zhiheng, you just want to make fun of the Lu family, right?"
Ling Zhiheng defended himself, "Really? No! The Minister walked past me on his own. I don't have the habit of seeing the Lu family make fun of me."
He swore that he definitely did not want to laugh at the Shangshu Ling's family. It was Shangshu Ling himself who walked past him with a sour face. It was Shangshu Ling himself who did not hide his shame, so he was accidentally seen by him.
As for whether the Shangshu Ling had a bad face because Lu San did not pass the exam, he thought that it was the Shangshu Ling who hosted the Qionglin Banquet, and it was most likely that he was angry with Chu Jing.
Ling Zhiheng was not interested in talking about Shangshu Ling's sour face anymore, so he turned to Ye Zelin and said, "Do you want to go to Zhuyun Garden? Senior Brother Kong and his friends have already gone there. They were reciting poems and drinking with those Jinshi scholars."
Ye Zelin glanced at Hua Fushu beside him and said calmly, "No, I'm not good at drinking, and I'm not good at writing poetry. It would be embarrassing if I didn't go."
"I don't like that scene either." Ling Zhiheng didn't like reciting poems or composing essays, so naturally he didn't like those pretentious scenes.
He casually mentioned, "Your Miss Liu is also in Zhuyun Garden."
Ye Zelin looked confused, "What do you mean my Miss Liu?"
His wife only has Hua Fushu, okay?
What nonsense is Ling Zhiheng talking about?
"Liu catkins." Hua Fushu said suddenly. She couldn't think of any other Miss Liu besides the one with fox eyes.
Ling Zhiheng said: "That's right!"
As soon as Ling Zhiheng finished speaking, he noticed Hua Fushu's cold and somewhat scary eyes, and realized that he might have said something wrong.
"Sister-in-law, you heard it wrong. I spoke too quickly." Master Ling got anxious and explained something completely irrelevant.
Hua Fushu half-closed his eyes and asked, "Really?"
"Yes, Yu Shi has absolutely nothing to do with that Liu." Ling Zhiheng nodded solemnly to save himself from the wrong words he said hastily.
Ye Yushi and that Miss Liu are just four legs apart, which means they have no relationship at all.
"Need I tell you? I know my own man as well as you do." Hua Fushu said.
Ling Zhiheng quickly agreed, "Yes, sister-in-law is right."
Ye Zelin suddenly laughed and said, "Fushu, stop teasing Zhiheng. Look at what you've done to him."
Ling Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go to Danyang Pavilion. The flowers there are in bloom and look particularly beautiful." Ling Zhiheng suggested.
Hua Fushu responded, "That's fine."
"It's up to you." Ye Zelin followed the crowd.
They passed through the three small gardens of Yuechi Pavilion, Peony Pavilion and Yantai Pavilion and arrived at the small garden where Danyang Pavilion was located.
At first glance, you can see the rich colors of spring.
The garden is full of roses. The flowers are red, bright and gorgeous, and there are large patches of them. From a distance, they look like red clouds descending from the sky.
Neither chrysanthemums nor peonies can compare to its beauty.
This scene reminds me of a poem.
How can it compare to this flower, which is so gorgeous, blooming in light and dark red all year round.
"This rose is so beautiful!" Hua Fushu was in a happy mood.
Ye Zelin said, "These are Red Fan and Soft Fragrant Red. They have large flowers and vibrant colors. The roses in this garden were originally Spring Water Green Wave and Red Dragon Holding Pearl, but they were later dug up. These Red Fan and Soft Fragrant Red were transplanted in a while ago."
Hua Fushu was surprised and said, "You know a lot."
"Sister-in-law, Yu Shi used to come to Qionglin Garden often, so it's not surprising that he knows about it." Ling Zhiheng said.
Hua Fushu glanced at Ling Zhiheng. What a talkative guy!
She just wanted to show her admiration for Ye Zelin, and Ling Zhiheng's presence was really a spoiler.
"Major General Ye."
The man was wearing the dark blue spring silk eunuch's uniform. As he approached, his eyes also noticed Hua Fushu and Ling Zhiheng, and he said in a calm voice, "Miss Ye and Master Ling are here too."
Ye Zelin bowed and said respectfully, "Mr. Luo."
Seeing this, Hua Fushu bowed. She had met this man once before. He was the number one eunuch beside the current emperor, Luo Nei Shi.
Eunuch Luo is a capable man beside the current emperor. Even the prince has to give him some face. Hua Fushu dare not lose his manners.
Ling Zhiheng also clasped his fists in greeting.
Luo Nei Shi said: "Young General, His Majesty is in Wangyue Tower. His Majesty wants to see you."
"Mr. Luo, please wait a moment."
Ye Zelin turned around to look at Hua Fushu and said softly, "Fushu, I'll be back soon. You and Heng wait for me here."
Hua Fushu nodded obediently, indicating that he would wait patiently, "Don't worry, Master Ling and I will wait for you here."
Ling Zhiheng also agreed: "I will help you take care of your sister-in-law."
Ye Zelin left with Eunuch Luo.
Hua Fushu's legs were sore from walking, so she found a place and sat down. There happened to be two steps there, so she sat on them.
Ling Zhiheng also followed happily and sat down a foot away from Hua Fushu.
