Chapter 31.

Chrysanthemum Banquet is located not far from Prince Gong’s residence on the Yan Bei Hall, which was when the Ming Qi founding empress personally set up the hall, this residence was originally the former dynasty pruned exquisite garden, covers an area of several thousand acres, the building is grand and exquisite, if not too far away from the city, the empress would even want to transform it into a corner of the palace.

However, this is a good place to enjoy the scenery although it is far away from the mountains and the water. Especially in October every year, various colors of chrysanthemums are open, because there are special people to manage the planting of precious chrysanthemum seeds, once open, it is like being in a fairyland. It is also a very elegant place to check out the chrysanthemums.

It takes about an hour for Yan Beitang to catch the carriage in Shenfu, so the car will be prepared with some snacks and food to avoid hunger in the stomach.

Gu Yu opened the basket given by Sister Gui and asked Shen Miao, “Why don’t you have something to eat, it’s a long journey, you’ll have strength after eating.”

Shen Miao looked at what was in that basket.

Iced Goat Cheese, Scallion Rolls, Spicy Oil Legs …… At first glance it also looks appetizing, brightly colored and smells delicious.

Unfortunately, the flavor of these things are too big, such as ice cheese, chili oil legs, such as more easy to make the lipstick, a careless will also dirty their own clothes, Sister Gui is really “careful” to prepare these foods.

The fight of women in the back of the house, is about openly and secretly under some trips, but Shen Miao was in the Mingqi harem, faced with the concubines of the competition for favor, the number of segments will only be higher. These small tricks, is not on the stage. She shook her head and asked Gu Yu to cover the box, and asked Jing Jing, “No need, Jing Jing has it here.”

Sting carefully took out a small cloth bag from behind, that cloth bag are small and delicate pastries, Shen Miao can not trust the Shen House kitchen, let Sting buy through the purchase of things steward, entrusted her to bring some of the outside of the pastries. The steward only thought that the sting of gluttony, but did not do anything, just some surprise sting a maid, but also willing to buy Guangfu Zhai’s snacks.

Guangfu Zhai is one of the most important stores in the city of Dingjing, that is, the concubines in the palace love to eat. Shen Miao’s previous life to Guangfu Zhai’s snacks and not very interested in, Wan Yu but like very much, a day does not eat will not feel pain.

At the moment that pastry is only the size of Shen Miao’s finger, made into the appearance of flowers, poor and lovely, Shen Miao divided some let Gu Yu and Jingjing also eat, the two girls first did not dare to, and then see Shen Miao insisted, can not be excused, then carefully took over, took a bite after a surprise: “girl, this snack can be really tasty.”

Shen Miao smiled slightly, in fact, the snacks again delicious and can be delicious to where to go, but is to do the lovely exquisite, the daughter of the family and always like to look good things. When Wan Yu was first married, she even spent a lot of money to buy the Guangfu Zhai a master of the dim sum, just hope that in the bitter cold land of the Huns, Wan Yu can still eat their favorite pastries.

Who knows …… who knows then in the middle of the way, Wan Yu is fragrant and dead, and she has not even seen the body.

Shen Miao closed her eyes.

Wan Yu’s marriage was instigated by Mrs. Liao, Chen Ruoqiu’s family colluded, and Fu Xiuyi was the one who gave the order. In this life, these people, one do not want to run, these people who killed Wan Yu, she wants them, a thousand times a hundred times to return!

Gu Yu is eating snacks with great relish, a look up but saw Shen Miao beside him with a cold gaze, as if she was in a high position to kill a decisive noble lady, for a moment, Gu Yu seems to see the shadow of Shen Xin. Shen Xin is a person who has killed people on the battlefield and seen blood, and when he starts a fire, his bones are ferocious, and Shen Miao’s eyes are exactly the same as Shen Xin’s at the moment.

She almost choked on a mouthful of the treat, tried to swallow it, and asked carefully, “Is the girl not feeling well anywhere?”

“No,” Shen Miao lowered her eyes, “just thinking about something.”

Today’s chrysanthemum banquet and school inspection, Fu Xiuyi will also be present. Not only Fu Xiuyi, but also Fu Xiuyi’s brothers. Now the nine princes, each has its own style, naturally, each also divided into camps. And FuXiuYi performance is the most harmless, and the crown prince faction friendship.

Who knew that in the end, the crown prince would be abolished and Fu Xiuyi would be appointed as the crown prince? She is not going to help the crown prince, these people of the Mingqi royal family, the most ruthless, they look at these hairpin family for the ancestors to lay down the kingdom, but is to look at an old dog, it is clear that in the beginning it is these hounds for them to shoot down the rabbit, and now the rabbit is in the bag, but they still have to worry about the dog will bite to death, so they squeeze the dog’s last drop of blood, and then they will be killed and cooked.

The world is unkind, the Crown Prince is unrighteous, so why should we demand loyalty from everyone?

How about watching the dog bite the dog first? The corner of Shen Miao’s lips slightly hooked.

……

Yan Bei Tang had already come to a number of honored houses at the moment.

Although today’s school test does not distinguish between men and women, the banquet hall still divides the guests into men’s and women’s seats. On the men’s side, the young teenagers and their fathers were busy getting to know each other, and it was only natural for them to build relationships and support each other among the noble families. Moreover, these young men will one day take over their father’s role in carrying the entire family, so it is good to make more friends.

Women are not as frequent as the men’s side, and the women often gossip together, so the young ladies have regular close friends. Three or five usually familiar get together to gossip, today’s chrysanthemum feast is both nervous and expectant. Occasionally, they will also raise their eyes to look at the opposite side of their favorite young man.

Yi Peilan fiddled with the flowers on the small table and said, “Are you sure about today’s calibration?”

“I am not.” The woman beside her laughed, “With so many people, such as my mediocre qualifications, I am really scared. I only hope that I will never be drawn later, and that no one will pick me to go on stage. I’m not looking to stand out, as long as I don’t make a fool of myself.”

Yi Peilan skimmed her lips, “At least give it a try, knowing that His Highness King Ding will also be here today, and your favorite young master of the Li family is also here. The young master of the Li family is so outstanding in his writing, he will definitely be on stage, don’t you seize this opportunity to perform well?”

The young girl pushed Yi Peilan, her face showing some shyness, “Nonsense.”

Jiang Xiaoxuan smiled and said, “That’s right, Bai Wei, you don’t have to be afraid, to say than to make a fool of yourself, there is still the Shen family’s oldest five cushioning the bottom of it. In any case, you are also better than her.”

“Not bad.” Yi Peilan also laughed with a floral twig, “Isn’t Shen Wu responsible for amusing the school inspection every year, and it’s hard for her to have the face to come every year. When I think of her coming back this year to perform her tricks, I want to laugh. I wonder what kind of clothes she will wear again, such as last year’s horrible bright red color with purple and red gold hairpin?”

Several young girls “giggled”.

“Enough okay.” But it was Feng An Ning who suddenly opened her mouth, “Is it funny?”

Yi Peilan froze, then said, “Feng Anning, you seem to be acting strange lately, what, befriending that fool?”

Feng Anning’s face was furious and she was about to speak when she heard someone on the other side say, “Hey, Mrs. Shen is here.”
