Chapter 23 The Garden of Wisdom
In Duanwang Mansion, in Duanfangzhai, Jiuyuan is playing chess with tea art.

The color of brown and the fragrance of tea are watching from the sidelines.

Whenever someone made a move, Tan would yell beside him:
"Ah! This should go here!"

"Ouch! You can't get down there!"

"Ah! Get down here, get down here!"

Jiu Yuan's head got dizzy from her quarrel, so he stopped and said to her, "Dark, watch chess without saying a word!"

"Okay, miss." Tan said resentfully.

Jiu Yuan turned his head and continued to face the chessboard, holding a chess piece in his hand, seriously thinking about the next step.

After a while, Tan Se became seriously ill again, and Jiu Yuan was so troubled by her that he couldn't think quietly.

Halfway through the game, seeing his decline on the chessboard was getting bigger and bigger, he said dejectedly, "I can't play any more! Let's go for a walk together."

"Go out for a walk! What's the point of playing chess in the room!" Tan Se said happily.

"." Just now who was instructing others to play chess enthusiastically.

Jiu Yuan led them for a slow walk in the garden. It was early summer, and the garden was lush and full of flowers, which was pleasing to the eye.

At this time, it has been more than twenty days since she returned home from Hongye Temple. Except for the first few days when she came back, she had to finish the things accumulated before, and she was very leisurely these few days.

"Miss, look, isn't that Concubine Yao?" Tan Se asked in surprise.

After counting the days, her confinement has been lifted, and she can go out for a stroll!
"Well, it is indeed her." Jiu Yuan looked in her direction and confirmed.

"Miss, Concubine Wan Fang is here!" Cha Xiang tugged on Jiu Yuan's sleeve and said.

Jiu Yuan looked in the direction where the tea fragrance was looking, really, what day is it today, why did they all choose to go to the garden together!

Concubine Wan Fang walked in front of Jiu Yuan, and made a blessing: "I have seen the concubine myself."

"Yingjiao doesn't need to be too polite," Jiu Yuan said.

"Thank you, Wangfei, Wangfei also came to the garden to enjoy the flowers!" Wan Fangfei asked.

"Yes! I saw that the weather is very good today, so I went out for a walk." Jiu Yuan said.

If I knew that you were all here, I would change places, so as not to lie to you.

"It's better to accompany the concubine for a walk!" Wan Fangfei suggested.

"That would be the best." Jiu Yuan replied.

At this time, Concubine Yao also came over to salute her, and Jiu Yuan said: "Tingyu, you can walk with me too!"

So Jiuyuan walked in front and led them on the path.

"In a few days, the tea party hosted by Wanping County will be held. I wonder if the princess will be there this year?" Consort Wan asked shallowly.

"I have nothing to do these days, so let's join in the fun!" Jiu Yuan replied lightly.

Don't you just want to say that my family background is not obvious and I have no talent!

What are you doing so obliquely!
This tea party is where the ladies and gentlemen of the capital get together to drink tea, chat, and talk about family matters.Of course, the most important point is that, compared with poems and songs, the winner will get some prizes.

Of course, no one cares about this lottery. They are fighting for their reputation in the noble circle in the next year, especially for the noble girls who are about to marry. They hope to gain a good reputation and choose a good family when it comes to marriage negotiations.

In the past years, Jiu Yuan didn't go, because he was not qualified at first, but after marrying Xia Zhi, he could receive invitations to the tea party every year, but Jiu Yuan never cared about these false names, so he just threw them aside and ignored them up.

Unexpectedly, it is the annual tea party again!

It seems that I received a post some time ago, but I didn't care about it at the time, I just put it away, and I don't know where I put it, I will go back and look for it later!
"The concubine is going too, that's great, when the time comes we will go together?" Concubine Wan said happily.

It doesn't matter if you go, you will be the one who will make a fool of yourself at that time!
In her heart, Jiu Yuan is just an illiterate and stinky merchant's daughter, and at the tea party, she can only make a fool of herself!
"Okay, let's go together then!" Jiu Yuan nodded.

I've never been there before, so it's good to have someone to lead the way!
After that, we chatted about the interesting things that happened in the capital recently. Although the atmosphere was not lively, it was okay.

"Why did my sister forget that there is one of the biggest jokes in the capital, but she didn't tell the princess?"

Concubine Yao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, her tone full of sarcasm.

Ever since she was grounded, she gradually realized that she was tricked by Concubine Wan Fang and used her as a weapon.

They are all from big families, and no one is a real fool. She is just a little impulsive, and she doesn't want to be used by others.

Now there is a lot of anger in my heart, seeing Wan Fangfei talking and laughing there, how could she be reconciled, so she made a sarcasm.

"Oh, what's not interesting?" Jiu Yuan asked enthusiastically.

I like watching you fight like this the most, it's fun to watch.

well!These days are too ordinary, and I can't leave this palace, so I just rely on the crowd to watch you fight each other for a man, and make adjustments!
"Recently, another joke happened in Zuo Xiang's mansion!" Said Concubine Yao.

After speaking, he glanced at Concubine Wanfang.

It's not so much a joke about Zuo Xiang's mansion, but a joke about Duke Huguo's mansion!

Concubine Wan Fang's expression darkened when she heard this, and she stared at her viciously.

As if he didn't see their expressions, Jiu Yuan took the conversation and said, "Oh! What a joke!"

Concubine Yao said slyly: "After the incident of retiring the engagement, Mrs. Fan did another mess?"

Consort Wan's complexion turned dark again.

break off an engagement!Whose marriage did you withdraw?

Isn't it the marriage of my Duke Huguo's mansion!What on earth does Yao Tingyu want to do?
Jiu Yuan followed her words and asked as he walked, "What did you do?"

Isn't Master Xiao Fan Fan Xuan!What else did he do that made people talk about it?

Concubine Yao is no longer keeping her secrets, and said with a sarcasm: "About half a month ago, Mrs. Fan suddenly brought a mountain girl home and said that she would marry her as his wife. Mrs. Fan did not agree, so he knelt in front of the door , I heard that Master Fan was forced to kneel for a day and a night, so he had no choice but to agree!"

Now people all over the street are saying that it must be because of the misbehavior of the lady of the Huguogong's mansion that Master Xiao Fan would rather marry a mountain woman than her!
I heard that the lady from the Duke Protector's Mansion went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make a big fuss!

"And this thing!" Jiu Yuan showed a slight surprise on his face.

It seems that Fan Xuan saw Nian Gui and brought her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion!

"That's right! It's really unexpected!" Concubine Yao echoed.

It is not uncommon to bring back a mountain woman to take as a concubine, but it is not unusual to marry as a regular wife.

The more wealthy the family is, the more they pay attention to being well-matched, and the prime minister's mansion is even more noble, but now they want to marry a woman of unknown origin to be the future head of the prime minister's mansion, so why not let others be amazed.

"Sister said, isn't it strange that you don't want a daughter who is a good daughter, but you want a girl from the mountains?"

Concubine Yao suddenly turned her head and said to Concubine Wan with deep meaning.

"My sister is right." Concubine Wan Fang said with a sullen face, wishing she could go up and beat her up, and said through gritted teeth.

"Princess, I suddenly felt unwell, so I left first!" She turned her head and bowed to Jiu Yuan.

"Since you're not feeling well, go back and rest!" Jiu Yuan cared.

This excuse is too casual, isn't it just that someone stepped on your feet and wants to leave?
Concubine Yao looked at her receding back, and let out a soft snort to relieve her hatred.

Since Wan Yingjiao left in anger, it was meaningless for her to be here, so she said goodbye to Jiu Yuan and left.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Jiu Yuan was speechless for a while.Just leave?I can't get enough of it!
