The step-brother is charming and soft, and the Marquis can't help but flirt with her

Chapter 35 Selected Chrysanthemum Poems, Shocking to the Soul
"Ladies and gentlemen, Princess Rong Zhao and Princess Jiale have arrived. Please move to Juyuan to talk." A female envoy wearing light green clothes appeared and bowed slightly to everyone.

Shen Lansui immediately cheered up and gave Lu Jingzhi a hand. Lu Jingzhi was still sulking and followed her and whispered softly: "Sister-in-law, are you really not angry at all? I still feel uncomfortable thinking about it now. .”

"I'm so talkative about them. I can't stop them even if they want to. It's a waste of time to fight with them. Do you think they deserve it?"

Lu Jingzhi thought for a moment and said, "That's right, they don't deserve it."

"Besides, no matter how much they look down on me, I am also Mrs. Hou, so why should I lower myself? Even if I win the quarrel with them, it will be embarrassing."

Shen Lansui pushed aside the branches in front of Lu Jingzhi and was about to move forward when Shen Xiyun and Shen Hanfang suddenly came from the other side and blocked their way.

"Fifth sister, are you still angry with your sister? We didn't mean it just now. Fourth sister was just outspoken and had no bad intentions." Before Shen Lansui could speak, Shen Xiyun looked like she was about to cry.

Lu Jingzhi frowned in disgust: "What do you mean by these words now? Get out of the way!"

Shen Xiyun used the cover of her sleeves to touch Shen Hanfang underneath. Shen Hanfang bowed reluctantly, "Sister, don't be the same as me. I'm not clear-headed this morning. If you're angry, just scold me."

It was clear that she was the one in the wrong, yet she acted like a victim again.

Lu Jingzhi was so disgusted, but thinking of Shen Lansui's words, she still held back the attack.

If this was not the princess's mansion, she would have to teach them a lesson.

"Fourth sister sincerely regrets it. Fifth sister, can you give us another chance?"

Shen Xiyun's watery eyes stared at Shen Lansui.

Seeing other noble ladies coming over, Shen Lansui suddenly held her hand and sighed: "I said I'm not angry, they are all my sisters, how can there be an overnight feud? The second sister is also married. It’s not easy to have to worry about the sisters at home. Fourth sister, you should be careful in your words and deeds when you go out in the future, so as not to lose everyone’s face.”

After saying this, Shen Lansui ignored the two people's faces which turned red and white, and pulled Lu Jingzhi to follow the female envoy.

The female servant calmly took in everything and smiled at her and said, "Mrs. Lu San is so generous."

Shen Lansui smiled and said nothing, and the envoy didn't say much. She turned around and led the way.

There were whispers from all sides behind him.

"The second young lady of the Shen family is also interesting. She is married and still runs to her parents' house all day long. Isn't she dissatisfied with her husband's family?"

"Are you satisfied? Who knows about her husband's Yangdu? He usually pretends to be a bitch, but after getting married, he stops pretending. He eats, drinks, whores, and gambles."

"Shh, keep your voice down, Miss Shen Si is not easy to get along with. My sisters have all been ruined. Don't forget to hate us for a while."

"If you hold a grudge, hold a grudge. Who can think highly of a man who has fallen into decline in his uncle's house and sells his daughter to climb high? If the sisters hadn't married well, who would have gotten her as a concubine to attend the banquet?"

Shen Xiyun and Shen Hanfang heard clearly from behind. Shen Hanfang's eyes turned red with anger and she wanted to tear them alive, but Shen Xiyun grabbed her hand tightly.

"Second sister!" She whispered: "You heard them all, they -"

"What did I say?" Shen Xiyun's face was slightly cold, and his eyes were as cold as ice. Shen Hanfang was slightly frightened, and her anger dissipated a lot.

"This chrysanthemum viewing feast is far from as simple as it seems on the surface. If you want to fly on the branches, behave well! Don't be so frivolous when you enter the chrysanthemum garden soon!"

Shen Xiyun gave many advices.

Shen Hanfang pursed her lips and said impatiently: "Will they really come? Second sister, where did you get the news?"

"Don't believe it? Just wait and see. If you miss this opportunity, don't blame me for not reminding you."

After saying that, Shen Xiyun let go of her hand and walked away first.

Shen Hanfang stood there for a while, thought twice, and then followed her, "Second sister, wait for me!"*
As the name suggests, the chrysanthemum garden is full of chrysanthemums.

Before you even enter the door, the fragrance hits your nostrils, making you feel like you are in a fairyland.

There is a table outside the hanging flower door. There are all pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table. A female envoy in green stands behind the table and bows with a smile, saying: "Dear guests, please stay."

Lu Jingzhi whispered: "You're not asking for a riddle or something, right?"

Shen Lansui was thoughtful, "Maybe you want to write poetry?"

The female envoy raised her hand and pointed to the paper on the table and said: "Princess Rong Zhao has always loved chrysanthemums and wishes to make friends with chrysanthemums. Therefore, she has set up a table outside the chrysanthemum garden and asked all distinguished guests to leave a poem related to chrysanthemums. You can improvise. You can also use poems written by predecessors, as long as they suit the occasion. The poems will not be published to the outside world, only the princess can see them, so you can feel free to write. If you fall in love with each other, the princess will invite distinguished guests to tell them."

Shen Lansui secretly admired the princess's ingenuity. She definitely didn't know how to write poetry. She had never studied it and she didn't have the talent. However, she did remember a few lines of poems related to chrysanthemums.

"Dear guests, please—"

As soon as the female envoy raised her hand, everyone spontaneously lined up and stepped forward one by one.

When it was Shen Lan's turn, she thought for a moment and wrote her favorite sentence. After writing, she returned the pen and smiled at the female envoy.

Lu Jingzhi followed closely behind, and after finishing writing, they entered the garden together.

The moment she entered, Shen Lansui was shocked and speechless by the beautiful scenery in front of her.

Colorful purples and reds, extremely beautiful.

The rush of life made her burst into tears.

This was an emotion that was hard to describe. At that moment, she thought of the devastated apocalypse. Such beautiful and vivid flowers could only be seen in the homes of upper-class rulers or in textbooks.

Not to mention a whole garden like this, with an endless sea of ​​flowers as far as the eye can see.

After two steps, the chrysanthemums changed to another variety, white, pink, and green. Going deeper, there were endless golden chrysanthemums. As far as the eye could see, the breeze blew, the golden waves rolled, and even the sky seemed to be dyed with light. yellow.

"Third sister-in-law... Third sister-in-law?" Lu Jingzhi raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

Shen Lansui suddenly came to his senses and blinked, "What's wrong?"

My voice sounded a little astringent when I opened my mouth.

Lu Jingzhi looked at her worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Why are your eyes red? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Shen Lansui touched the end of her eyes and felt a little wet. She twirled and smiled and said, "No, I just think it's so beautiful here and it's a bit shocking."

"Can you not be shocked? There are no more beautiful chrysanthemums in the entire Yang Capital than here. Your Majesty knows that the princess loves chrysanthemums, so he has rewarded the princess with good varieties."

"I see."

Shen Lansui walked along the gravel path towards the golden chrysanthemums, while Lu Jingzhi went to see the white chrysanthemums. After that, the people entering the garden dispersed to see their favorite varieties.

Soon all the poems for the female guest were finished, and the envoy sorted them out and placed them in the hexagonal double-eaves pavilion.

There is a curtain hanging outside the pavilion, and Princess Rong Zhao is sitting in the pavilion drinking tea.

"Princess, all the poems are here, please take a look."
