Empress Fenghua

Chapter 25
The so-called elegant gathering is a gathering where all the children of aristocratic families gather together to drink wine and compose poems, and sing their hearts out.Originated from aristocratic customs, it gradually became an opportunity for the children of the family to make friends with the powerful.

Lingshan is a beautiful place on the outskirts of Wan'an, surrounded by flowers and trees, and streams and lakes form an interesting contrast.There is a palace built on the mountain, which is used by the royal family for hunting and summer vacation every year.Because Princess Xinyang is especially loved by Emperor Cheng, every year the Gathering gathers here.After Hua Zhong and the others settled the carriages and horses, they played around.The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the falling leaves are colorful. It is really a treasure land of geomantic omen.

Hua Qiong is wearing a light yellow blouse with a warm emerald skirt, making her look extraordinarily warm and energetic.It must be that before coming here, the Lu family had already told Hua Qiong the purpose of this trip, so Hua Qiong always had a faint shyness on her face.

Hua Zhong took Hua Qiong's hand and comforted him, "Don't be embarrassed, you have reached the age of marriage. Rather than waiting in the mansion for the eldest lady to look at you as a stepping stone for Huayan, it is better to find a lover and entrust her to you for life. Today It is the best opportunity, Third Sister will make the decision for you, but you must see clearly which one is your beloved!"

Looking at the kindness and tenderness in Hua Zhong's eyes, Hua Qiong felt very warm in her heart.He whispered cautiously, "My younger sister knows that she can't help the third sister, but the third sister must be careful of the eldest sister. The eldest sister has been waiting for a price for many years, and in the future, the third sister will definitely regard you as her pathfinder."

Hua Zhong looked at the beautifully dressed Hua Yan in the distance, like a butterfly lingering among the flowers, sometimes gentle and shy, sometimes with a myriad of demeanors.If it weren't for the sisters who fought openly and secretly in this life, maybe Huayan would really rise to the top and be honored for a lifetime.

"Don't worry about me!" Hua Chong patted Hua Qiong's hand to express comfort.

"Sister Chong'er!" Shuangcheng came over surrounded by a group of people, "It's your first time to participate in the Gathering, and you are not familiar with all the sisters. But everyone is very easy to get along with. After a while, you can drink Don't miss it."

Gu Shuangcheng was dressed in splendid attire, with a graceful and dignified posture.The kindness and softness between her eyebrows made her the center of everyone, perhaps no one could be more popular than her!

"Sister Gu also said that what I'm most afraid of is the flowing water. Every time I get down, I feel like my heart is jumping out." Very cute.

Gu Shuangcheng said angrily, "You! You actually do some tricky and eccentric things on weekdays, disturbing the peace of the He family. You don't want to read books, and every time you write poems and lyrics, you lose your confidence!"

"I can't do these petty things! Sister Gu, don't embarrass me." The woman made a grimace, Gu Pan's spirit was overwhelming.Looking at Hua Zhong, "Which family is this sister? It seems to be familiar with Sister Gu, but I have never seen it before."

The woman stepped forward and bowed slightly, "My surname is He, and my name is Xiao Yu. Dare I ask my sister's name?"

Hua Zhong hurriedly returned the gift, "Ning Family Hua Zhong!"

"It turns out to be the daughter of the prime minister's family. I have only met the two sisters of the Ning family, but I have never seen Hua Zhong's sister. I need to drink a few more glasses in a while, so I can interrogate you!" He Xiaoyu teased, eyes full of tears. It is a jumping light.

Gu Shuangcheng lightly tapped He Xiaoyu's forehead, and said angrily, "You! You are getting more and more unruly, and you still have to judge her? She will show her talents in a while, you have to learn hard."

Hua Zhong hurriedly said with a smile, "Sister Shuangcheng is serious. It's lucky that Hua Zhong doesn't lose face. How can she show her talent? Wouldn't it be a joke if people listened to it!"

"Sister Gu has seen Sister Huazhong recite poems and odes?" He Xiaoyu looked at Huazhong curiously, exploring with joy.

"No, but with Chong'er's coquettish attitude, it's definitely not bad!" Gu Shuangcheng looked at Hua Zhong with appreciation and friendliness.

Huayan from the side came over, and there was a woman in Chinese clothes beside her.That woman is very eye-catching. For others, wearing a peony and silk flower may be a bit vulgar, but this woman is not only not gaudy at all, but is even more charming, which brings out her fair skin even more. The most beautiful thing is her lines The soft neck is very attractive.It's just that the neck is proudly straight like a swan, but Hua Zhong is very displeased.

Gu Shuangcheng hurriedly greeted with a smile, but it was not as brilliant as before. "I said why didn't I see Huayan, so I went to play with Ziyou!"

Huayan is not as sensible as Gu Shuangcheng, after what happened at the princess mansion last time, it seems that the two of them have long been estranged. "It's been a long time since I saw Sister Gu. Huayan went to ask Ziyou for advice on how to beautify her face. I'm afraid only Ziyou is the best at this skill!"

The woman named Ziyou smiled slightly, with a slightly smug expression, "Huayan is amazing! It's just a lot of hard work. The third younger sister who saw Huayan for the first time, although it's not what she thought...but it's only natural. . Ziyou is being polite here!"

Everyone heard the meaning of Meng Ziyou's words, but they didn't take it seriously.Meng Ziyou has always been aloof and arrogant, no one can catch her eyes, and only Ning Huayan's beauty and talent can say a few words to her.But seeing that Ning Huazhong is mediocre and polite, and Gu Shuangcheng is optimistic about the person, he must have good character.

Hua Zhong smiled slightly, "Miss Meng, you're being polite! Hua Zhong didn't know that in Miss Meng's heart, Hua Zhong would still have thoughts about Hua Zhong. Hua Zhong and Miss Meng had never met before, so I don't know what Hua Zhong in Miss Meng's heart was modeled on. of?"

"Since I have never met Miss San, doesn't Miss San also know my surname?" Meng Ziyou smiled unabated, but there was a look of contempt in it.

Hua Zhong naturally knew about Meng Ziyou. In his previous life, Meng Ziyou was proficient in beauty and beauty methods, so that he was still like a young girl in her 30s.Ye Yongjia was extremely infatuated with Meng Ziyou's marriage into the imperial palace, and he doted on the harem for a while.It's just that in the end, for some reason, his temperament changed drastically, intending to assassinate Ye Yongjia, but Hua Zhong took the opportunity to step on his feet.The grievances and resentments of the previous life cannot be escaped, and it is still the case in this life!

Hua Zhong fell into her own memory, but it made the surroundings feel cold for a while.Meng Ziyou and Hua Yan were immersed in their victory, but they did not expect to be interrupted by a cold snort.

Duan Huixian came from behind, her big Shui Lingling eyes were still lovely, full of innocence and stubbornness.Duan Huixian sneered sarcastically, "Miss Ning San is embarrassed to say, Miss Meng, are you really ashamed to ask? If I were Duan Huixian, I wouldn't bring shame on myself! Since last year's Gathering, how can anyone not know about the young lady of the Meng family?"

When everyone heard this, they quickly covered their faces with wide sleeves and smiled.Last year, Meng Zi fell into the water for no reason at Yaji. In summer, the women's clothes were already light and thin, but after getting wet they clinged to her body, which made her very embarrassed.As a result, there was a lot of discussion in Kyoto, which was very embarrassing.Meng Ziyou, who has always been upright, is even more ashamed of this matter, and anyone who mentions it will definitely offend her.

Sure enough, Meng Ziyou's face turned blue, and he turned and left with a cold snort.Seeing this, Huayan hurriedly followed.

Hua Zhong looked sideways at Duan Huixian, and Duan Huixian blinked at Hua Zhong, quite mischievously.The incident at the Princess Mansion last time, although Duan Huixian deliberately made things difficult, it was reasonable, presumably the reasons for this were in people's hearts.

"Hi sister Duan!" Hua Zhong saluted slightly, but Duan Huixian quickly pulled her up.

"Why do you have to do these vain rituals? I don't care about them the most on weekdays." Duan Huixian pursed her lips and said, "I only knew one thing about the princess mansion last time, so I misunderstood you. I've always been straightforward, right or wrong The grievances and grievances are clear, and please don't take it to heart! Although the sisters are clumsy, it is better to be alone together than to be alone. If the third lady doesn't dislike it, you can call me Huixian in the future, and you will save the trouble of your sister and sister! "

Hua Zhong couldn't help but smile, Duan Huixian is straightforward, with clear grievances and grievances, daring to love and hate, he is a good friend!
"Then why do you call me Third Miss!" Hua Zhong looked at Duan Huixian jokingly.

When Gu Shuangcheng heard it, he couldn't help laughing, "That's good! All the sisters have no grievances, and they are harmonious, and they will live up to this good time!"

Everyone was full of smiles, and for a while, the laughter was sweet, and it was a happy time!

Gu Shuangcheng's eyes lit up, watching Hua Zhong hurriedly bowed dignifiedly behind Hua Zhong, and everyone bowed down to salute, "I have seen His Highness Seventh Highness and His Highness Ninth Highness!"

Hua Zhong turned around slowly, those two handsome men.Of them in the previous life, one loved himself and took his life and country, and the other loved himself and ruined his youth and love.Ye Congjia looked at Hua Zhong with dark eyes, with a look of disdain and hatred.Ye Yongjia, on the other hand, is always so gentle, as quiet as a pool of spring water.The flowers and trees in the surrounding area seem to be withering in Huazhong's memory, and the streamers are all like feathers...

Hua Zhong leaned over and saluted, and only said, "My servant has seen nine thousand years old!"
