Chapter 686 Flower Festival

Qin Su almost scoffed at Li Shuyi's infatuation.

This kind of thing would never happen to her, Qin Su.

She has never had such a persistent affection before, and it is impossible for her to be so desperate for anyone.

To give birth to her is to be born, to die is to let others die.

If she were Li Shuyi, she would have given Xue Yunheng a long time ago with a bowl of love potion, and she would never suffer herself to such an extent.

Isn't that against yourself?

Li Shuyi, what a lunatic.

However, the emotion is the emotion, Qin Su is still quite grateful to him.

Handing over such a big deal, Qin Su felt a little sorry for Li Shuyi's deep affection if he didn't hold it.

If Xue Er can be persuaded to perform a few plays, Li Shuyi's ultimate move may be more useful.

It's just that this opportunity still needs to be created carefully. Li Shuyi's pawn is not yet ready to move.

Qin Su couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, and when he turned his eyes away, he felt that the scenery was beautiful and the spring was endless.

She still lacks the last point of confirmation. Once Ah Ren sends the news in, Li Shuyi will become Qin Su's side.At that time, there will be a news channel for Qin Su by Emperor Zhongyuan's side.

Qin Su raised her eyebrows happily.

The only regret in this matter is that Xue Erlang changed his life.

Without his death, it would be impossible for Concubine Li to go crazy; and if she didn't go crazy, no one would dare to assassinate Emperor Zhong Yuan.

This is a problem.

Qin Su raised his eyes and looked aside.

The spring breeze has already turned the willows green, Xuandu Peak in the distance is green, and the news of peach blossoms is still far away. However, a small apricot grove at the east foot of the mountain is blooming in its original beauty.

At that moment, Qin Su suddenly remembered that the Flower Festival is coming soon.

February [-]th is the annual Flower Festival.

According to Dachen's custom, on this day, the girls will gather together to enjoy flowers and butterflies, move flowers and plant grass, and for those wealthy families, they will hold a "flower competition".

The "saihua" here is the obvious meaning. The girls pick all kinds of flowers and compete to see who has the most beautiful and largest flowers, and whoever has the most beautiful flowers will win the championship.

Such a childish flower show would naturally not catch the eyes of those older girls, and those who dedicated themselves to participating in this kind of flower show were mostly girls under ten years old.

Because, there is a very interesting custom of this flower, that is, when young ladies fold flowers, they can ask a helper to help, and this helper is mostly an elder brother, cousin or cousin at home.

For this reason, the Saihuahui also has a nickname with a long name among the gentlemen, which is called "Folding Flowers for My Sister on Yaji", or "Yajihui" for short, which fully demonstrates that this flower fair is It's just for little girls, and grown-up girls seldom participate.

It stands to reason that this kind of festival is generally skipped in the palace, after all, there is no such thing as a little princess under the age of ten in the palace, and a lot of princes have folded flowers and have nowhere to wear them.

However, this year I don't know what happened. The Emperor Zhongyuan paid special attention to the Huachao Festival, so he called Qin Su in person and ordered her to draw up the "Dongjun Note" in the name of Princess Jinling, The ready-made apricot blossom forest in Xuandu Temple was used as the venue, and it was announced that a grand "flower competition" would be held in Xuandu Temple.

Speaking of which, Dongjun's paper is one of the four types of regular paper regulated in the palace. It is made by a secret method and is divided into four types according to the seasons: Dongjun's paper, pomegranate paper, Liuyun paper and ice-cut paper.

These four flower papers can be regarded as more formal invitation papers, and the more formal ones are lacquered gold and red scorpion papers. This is palace banquet paper, and it is also made by secret methods. Only Emperor Zhongyuan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince use this paper Qualifications.

For a flower competition, Dong Junjian was actually used to invite it. It is conceivable that Emperor Zhongyuan attached great importance to this matter.

On the letter of invitation, Emperor Zhongyuan marked the following requirements: Anyone who receives the letter of invitation must be accompanied by three or less adult lords and three or less children under the age of ten. Ladies, let's take part in this flower fair together.If there is no young lady in the family, the gentleman can go to the meeting alone.

As soon as the contents of the invitation came out, the entire metropolis almost boiled.

Isn't this blatantly recruiting a son-in-law?
The young gentlemen either went to the banquet alone, or brought their younger sisters under the age of ten to the flower banquet. The only adult girl in the whole banquet was the Jinling Princess?

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the metropolis from the royal family to the Li Shu, and almost everyone had the same point of view: Princess Jinling is about to reach the age of Ji, and His Majesty the Emperor is choosing a son-in-law step by step and purposefully, and also The choice is particularly narrow.A flower banquet was held but no girls were invited. The only flower in the whole banquet was Princess Jinling.

Isn't this just to prevent others from developing a feeling of comparison?Isn't this just a blatant attempt to push Princess Jinling to the eyes of all the lords?

It is true that Emperor Zhongyuan wanted his son-in-law, and everyone knows it.

Even though everyone knew it well, quite a few people didn't want to call their son-in-law Shangzhu, but they couldn't stand the thick-skinned Emperor Yuan, who actually took advantage of the big court meeting to spread invitations.

Invitation notes were widely distributed at the Great Court Meeting, and it was not a formal banquet in the palace, but a flower banquet held by the little ladies in Xuandu Temple. Throughout the history of Da Chen Liguo, this has never happened.

And the most important thing is that this is a letter of invitation personally given by His Majesty the Emperor. Tell me, can you not give me face?His Majesty the Emperor is looking at you with a smile. How dare you say that you won't let your son-in-law attend the banquet?Do you dare to say that you have not received the invitation letter?

Emperor Zhongyuan even specially called Jiang Pushe, Duke Xue and others to his imperial case by name, and slapped the flower paper in their hands with a serious expression on his face, and said with a sigh, "This is all Jinling What I thought, she just returned to the palace not long ago, this grandpa really can't bear to let her celebrate the festival alone, you just keep this invitation, the location is in Xuanduguan, not far, and it is easy to take a car It's only half a stick of incense and it's here." Yunyun.

Tell me, even the time to go out and take the car has been considered for you. It is the golden words of His Majesty, can you pretend that you didn't hear or see it?

Ever since, on the fifteenth day of the second lunar month, countless carriages rushed out of the mansions of the dignitaries and dignitaries in the metropolis, and these carriages rushed towards one direction—the east gate like flowing water.

The Xuandu temple is just outside the east gate, and all the lords, either with their young sisters at home, or going out alone, went to the temple to have a banquet.

For everyone, this is a very novel experience.

After all, the "Flower Competition" of the Flower Dynasty Festival, which was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor himself and invited by His Royal Highness the Princess, is an exception and the first of its kind. It is inevitable to slander a few words.
