Chapter 086: Rewards
Let’s talk about Chu Xinyu and Yang Qianjun entering Baiweiju. The space inside is very large. All seats are divided into two, with a passage in the middle, separated by a row of long screens. On one side is the girls’ table and on the other side is the young men’s table.
There were musicians gathering together at the scene, and the interior decoration was also very clever, mainly flowers, integrating today's theme of flower viewing, and the atmosphere was strong.
Because the young master couldn't see the situation through the screen, but many ladies had already met the girls' seats. Chu Xinyu found her seat, but it was separated from Yang Qianjun's seat, and her seat was almost arranged in the last row.
Yang Qianjun frowned, "I clearly asked someone to arrange for us to be together, why did we separate?" Her seat was in the middle of the front row. If she opened the screen, she could see the other end of the boy opposite at a glance.
An Qilan and Sun Ruoya's seats were in the third row, but Gu Qing'er and Tong Zhen's seats were on the left. She said, "Has anyone changed it? Why are we all sitting separately?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Qianjun glanced at the one beside her, Shang Chunhua and Luo Yunqing. She knew Shang Chunhua, but Luo Yunqing had never seen him before. She clearly asked Zhaoyang to arrange Chu Xinyu to sit next to her, so how could it change?
She looked up and saw Zhaoyang entertaining the girls. She hurried over and asked how the seat arrangements had been changed.
Although today is Zhaoyang's birthday, she is also the host of the banquet and has to help entertain guests. She is so busy that she can't tell the difference between the Northeast. Now when she heard Yang Qianjun's question, she remembered and said, "This position was changed by the King of Qin. I don't know why this arrangement was made, but Xin Yu was arranged at the back."
King Qin? Xinyu's cousin? Why did he make such arrangements? Yang Qianjun was puzzled.
Chu Xinyu was also stunned when she heard this. Why did my cousin make such arrangements? Suddenly I remembered the piece of paper before. Could it be that the piece of paper was given to her by my cousin? The font looks like a man, but no one cares about her except her.
So she said, "I don't care, the back is also good."
This will block the opportunity for others to toast her. If someone insists on toasting her, he will get up and walk through rows of seats. Those who come to pay attention to this will definitely be uneasy and she needs to be careful.
When Princess Zhaoyang saw that Chu Xinyu was not angry, she accepted it happily. She cursed herself secretly. She was afraid that she would be unhappy before, so she felt guilty for a long time.
She thought that if someone else had been angry, she would have been angry, because the previous position had the best sight. The young master of the aristocratic family could notice at a glance that her appearance like Chu Xinyu, sitting in that position would definitely attract most of the young masters' gaze.
The fourth brother didn't know why he gave such a good position to someone else. Luo Yunqing's appearance was also good. Although he was a little worse than Chu Xinyu, he would probably be the most popular person today.
"By the way, there is a folding fan on your own desktop, commonly known as the Kanlang fan. After the screen is closed, you will use this fan to block the front and see the young master on the other side. Who do you like? Tell me, I will be your little matchmaker." Princess Zhaoyang joked.
"Look at Lang Fan?" Yang Qianjun raised her eyebrows and glanced at Chu Xinyu and said, "What's this thing? Who thought of it? Could it be that King of Qin?"
Zhaoyang nodded and said, "It's him, and I don't know why he suddenly became concerned about the banquet. I heard my brother say he would invite him before, but he didn't say he wanted to come. But today I suddenly sent someone to see the seat arrangement and asked each girl to put a folding fan on the table."
Chu Xinyu was afraid that they would continue to say this, so he said, "Okay, come and sit in place, we are standing here to block the way."
At this time, the girls entered the venue one after another and found their own seats to sit down. The noble ladies were also taken by the Princess Chu and sat down in the seats. The young men were also very lively. From time to time, they heard an uproar or laughter from behind the screen.
Yang Lianxin came in with two ladies. It seemed that she had made friends. Her seat was next to Chu Xinyu, and the third girl Chu Jiafan and Chu Jiating sat together in the second row.
The Jing'an group leader, Fu Ning County Lord, Fu Yingmao sisters and Yang Qianjun, sat in the front row, very eye-catching. The screen was closed and he was directly facing the young masters of the aristocratic family.
Chu Xinyu picked up the Lang Fan and raised it in front of her. The fan surface was covered with thin gauze paste. Through the gauze, you could see the images in front, but the person on the other side could not see her face clearly.
The girls' seats were full of people. The Princess Chu stood in front and said to everyone, "Please pick up the fan on your desk. This fan is called Lang Fan. You can lift the fan in front of you later. As for why this is the case, you may understand its purpose when you hear the name of the fan."
After the words came, the girls laughed.
The Princess Chu continued: "I think you have heard that this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet is different from previous years. In previous years, there were no grandchildren of aristocratic families. This year, not only did they invite them, but they will also find a few of the best among them. The emperor will give them a marriage, and will also find the best among you. The emperor will give you a marriage, and may even be selected to be rated to several princes who have not been married."
Hearing this, the girls were extremely excited and secretly glad that they came to participate, but at the same time they were very nervous. What would be the performance to attract the princes' attention?
Princess Chu paused and then said, "When I entered the garden, I asked Zhaoyang to tell you that while enjoying the flowers, you should find the hydrangea in the stamens, but not every stamen contains hydrangeas. It depends on your luck and eyesight. Moreover, hydrangeas are limited. There are 120 girls here, but there are only 68 hydrangeas. If you all look for hydrangeas, there will be fifty-two girls without hydrangeas. What is this hydrangea used for? It is a bonus point for you. The girls who have hydrangeas have not found hydrangeas. I'm sorry, you have less basic points than those with hydrangeas."
After hearing what the Princess Chu said, the girls who did not have hydrangea were a little panicked. Some forgot to look for the flowers because they were not able to find them, and some were not careful. When they saw the sons of the aristocratic family entering the garden, they hurried to leave with their footsteps and arrive at Baiweiju.
It was too late for them to regret it. Who said that they didn't seize the opportunity? Among these girls, the most regretful one was Tong Zhen and Gu Qing'er. They obviously had the chance to find it, but they gave the hydrangea to others.
Tong Zhen felt even darker, thinking that she had no hydrangea because of Chu Xinyu and Yang Qianjun. If she hadn't fallen, she would have already owned the golden hydrangea.
No! She must get it back later. That is the best bargaining chip to have the opportunity to become the princess. At this moment, she finds it difficult to calm down.
Princess Chu knew from their expression that most people were regretting that she had no intention at the beginning. In fact, she just wanted to take the exam for the girls' intentions and seriousness. Since she came to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she had to participate in this event with all sincerity and sincerity. When a person would be wholeheartedly devoted no matter what he did, then this person would have a chance to succeed.
As the saying goes, marrying a wife is a virtuous person, and the people she wants to choose are not just virtuous, but must have all kinds of qualities so that the emperor will not let down the emperor's trust in her.
Besides, she didn't want to smash her signboard and chose a girl with both talent and virtue to give it to the royal princess. In the future, the couple would follow her and be happy and happy, and she would have done a good job.
She continued: "What should I do if a girl without hydrangea? It depends on whether you can counterattack and add points to the performance. Because time is limited, not every girl has the opportunity to perform events. Therefore, a girl without hydrangea needs to draw lots, which also depends on luck. As for the girls who get hydrangea, you have three colors of hydrangea, gold and silver, and get the golden reward of ten gold hydrangeas, and get the red reward of ten red hydrangeas, and get the silver reward of ten silver hydrangeas. When the performance is performed later, the referee rewards the performer with hydrangeas, and gets the top six with the most gold and silver hydrangeas, which is the best."
When the girls heard that the golden red and silver hydrangea had such a role, they regretted that they had to pat their chests and backs. One was equivalent to ten, which was how outstanding the performance was to get ten. It was a pity that it was too late to regret it.
Princess Chu smiled and glanced at everyone, adding: "By the way, everyone gave Zhaoyang's birthday gifts before, each of them would be rewarded with ten silver hydrangeas, but she would choose six of them that suit her best and give them ten golden hydrangeas."
Upon hearing this, new hope appeared on the faces of the girls who regretted it. Each of them had ten silver hydrangeas starting with, plus ten golden hydrangeas rewarded with six gifts, so that six people would add ten golden hydrangeas.
After the explanation, the Princess Chu ordered the banquet to begin, and several maids and servants came to fold the screen and lift it away.
The young men of the aristocratic family could meet face to face. The girls raised their scoops to see them, and they all looked at the young men of the aristocratic family through the fan to see who was sitting opposite and whether they knew each other.
Their eyes were the first to look at the princes in the middle of the front row, King Jin King Jing and King Yu. King Jin King Jin King, King Qin King Jing and King Yu. King Jin King was firm and handsome. Today he was wearing a dark purple brocade robe, a jade crown, and a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes that made the girls feel excited.
The King of Qin was wearing a blue-white straight-collared robe, and his black hair was tied up with a green gilded crown. His facial features were elegant and elegant, and his innate nobility, which made people feel that they could not be reached. However, this temperament caused the girls' hearts to throbbing.
King Jing's temperament is somewhat similar to King Qin, and he belongs to the elegant type. However, his facial features are not as handsome as King Qin, and his figure is slightly shorter than the previous two brothers. He wears blue cloud patterns, flowers and lake silk, and his appearance of jade trees facing the wind has also attracted the hearts of many girls.
King Yu is a little childish than the first three brothers. It is probably because of the age difference. He is a sunny boy with darker skin. He is obviously active outside all year round. The indigo blue silver thread and cloud patterns make him look more masculine and upright, making the girls reluctant to take their eyes away.
The four princes gathered together, which was rare in a century. Since the girls were excited and looking forward, their eyes were staring at them without blinking.
However, at this moment, a crisp voice broke the tranquility of the moment. "I want to ask the princess, if someone's golden hydrangea was stolen from someone else's hand, is the reward still worth it?"
When she spoke, she heard that she would be rewarded with ten golden hydrangeas when she found the golden hydrangeas. When she thought that Chu Xinyu would not have to perform anything, she would get ten golden hydrangeas. She felt that Chu Xinyu could not take advantage of it.
Lin Yu, who was sitting next to her, heard this, and for a moment, he really wanted to throw her out. Tong Zhen didn't even make a sound. Why did you do it?
Before the princes and the young men could sit on the bench, they didn't expect something to happen to the girl. The princess was naturally unhappy, but she didn't show it and replied calmly: "Of course it doesn't count. Did you steal the golden hydrangea for someone?"
Lin Huan said: "It's not me, it's Miss Tong. She said that her golden hydrangea was stolen by Chu Xinyu."
Chu Xinyu suddenly felt funny. Lin Huan really thought she was the savior and took everything into consideration. Tong Zhen didn't even say anything, but she became anxious first. How much did she hate herself?
The Princess Chu frowned and asked Tong Zhen, "Is there anything wrong? Why didn't you tell Zhaoyang before the banquet?"
"Report to the princess, yes, this is the case. I was afraid at that time..." Tong Zhen glanced at Yang Qianjun, immediately lowered her eyes, and gave in as if she was afraid: "Forget it, I believe I can get the Golden Hydrangea with my strength."
She looked like she wanted to speak but stopped. Unknowingly, she thought she was afraid of someone, so she chose to hide it. She would rather use her own strength to fight for it, which made people feel that she was generous and confident in herself.
Yang Qianjun had a bad temper. After hearing Tong Zhen say this, she threw down the folding fan, stood up and said in anger: "You are talking nonsense. You obviously stole someone from someone else's hydrangea, but the evil one complained first. I have never seen someone as shameless as you. Today I have seen it."
Chu Xinyu couldn't help but cover her forehead. If she sat with Yang Qianjun, she would definitely stop her actions at this moment. Tong Zhen clearly used aggressive methods, whether it was reasonable or ignored. The most taboo thing in the scene at this moment was to quarrel. Yang Qianjun's current performance was to get together before the quarrel. At this time, the quarrel was not only disappointing, but also seemed very uneducated.
But she couldn't ignore Yang Qianjun. After all, she fell into the trap of others for herself, so she stood up, still holding a look at the Lang Fan in her hand, blessed her to the direction of Princess Chu, and said, "Princess, can you allow the little girl to defend herself?"
The Princess Chu raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect it to be this time. Chu Xinyu did not forget the etiquette, neither humble nor arrogant, and was as calm as if she was saying that the weather was good today.
Three points of praise flowed out of her eyes. It was really not easy for someone to force someone else's hydrangea to keep her calm, so she allowed her to defend herself.
Chu Xinyu said, "I didn't snatch her hydrangea. The golden hydrangea was originally found by my maid. Before it was snatched away, I heard Miss Tong complain to Miss Gu that it was really a ghost. After searching for so long, I couldn't find the hydrangea. Miss Gu said she deserved it and gave the golden hydrangea to Miss Fu Er. Miss Tong said, "I'm not just for helping you, forget it, let's look for it again, it's best to find the golden one."
"Then, she saw Zhu Bo holding a golden hydrangea in her hand. She thought no one saw it, so she snatched it. As for why it returned to our hands, it was because she snatched the golden hydrangea and left in a hurry. Maybe she didn't see the road clearly, tripped up something, fell down, and the hydrangea was taken off, so Yang Qianjun went to pick it up."
From Chu Xinyu's words, everyone heard two important information. One was that the girl Tong used her golden hydrangea to please Miss Fu Er, and then she robbed someone else's; the other was that Miss Fu Er's golden hydrangea was not found by her, but was given to her by others to please her, but why did Miss Tong please her?
Miss Fu Er, who was planning to watch the show, unexpectedly she was shot without doing anything. She looked at Chu Xinyu. Was she said this intentionally or was it unintentionally?
When Chu Xinyu finished saying this, Tong Zhen immediately complained to the Princess Chu, saying that Xinyu was wronged and that she had a proof. Then Gu Qing'er and two girls came out to testify, saying that she had seen Chu Xinyu and Yang Qianjun snatch Tong Zhen's golden hydrangea with her own eyes.
Chu Xinyu remembered that these two girls were watching flowers nearby at that time. Unexpectedly, they also opened their eyes and told lies. Judging from the situation, Tong Zhen was probably ready, so she wanted to use this to let her leave the banquet.
Seeing this, Yang Qianjun and An Qilan all came out to accuse the two girls of lying. However, the two girls insisted that they saw them snatch Tong Zhen’s hydrangea.
Tong Zhen had changed her clothes. She said that she had clothes as evidence that Chu Xinyu and the others tripped themselves and snatched the hydrangea.
Princess Zhaoyang was anxious. She knew Yang Qianjun's character and always had an open and honest work. She would never steal other people's things. However, Tong Zhen was a testimony. If the fight continued, there would be no result, I was afraid that both sides would be expelled from the banquet. Only Jin had the plan, so I had to discuss it with my brother to see if I could come up with a way to solve the problem as soon as possible.
The Princess Chu was also a little annoyed. The banquet was originally a good one, but this event was a disappointment. However, the princes of the aristocratic family heard it more and more interesting. If it weren't for the four princes, they would probably bet secretly and bet which side would win.
King Jin sat on the right side of King Qin, and he possessed himself and whispered: "Have you noticed that as long as your sister Yu appears, there will be a good show."
He himself also felt strange. Every time he met a place where Chu Xinyu was there, she was very lively. Even if she hadn't caused trouble, someone would come to provoke her. This time, these people seemed to be prepared, so how could she help her get out of trouble?
When the King of Qin heard this, he frowned slightly and glanced at him and said, "Do you know her very well?"
King Jin touched his chin and said, "I don't know, but she is very interesting."
"Don't mess with her."
King Junmei of Jin raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this a warning? But he wanted to see what he would do to himself if he messed with her?
At this time, both sides held their own opinions and refused to give in to each other. Prince Chu came over and said, "There are only six golden hydrangeas in total, each hidden in different varieties of stamens. I have asked someone to make a record. Since the Tong girl said that the golden hydrangeas were found by you, do you know which variety of stamens it is hidden in?"
A panic flashed in Tong Zhen's eyes. She didn't see any flowers found in the bamboo and silk. There were several pots of flowers next to her. The flowers seemed to grow almost the same. What should I do now? She subconsciously looked at Princess Jing'an, hoping that she could speak out to help avoid this problem.
