While Emperor Cheng Kang and Mingting were discussing affairs in the imperial study room, the three ladies from the Marquis of Jing'an also carefully picked up Shanshan and went out.

Chen Hua is dressed gracefully and beautifully as ever, and the light pink smoke-cage skirt makes her look graceful and tender, and can fit into a large group of noble girls in the capital in a proper way.

Ming Chu was wearing a cool red dress. At first glance, she looked similar to the day she returned home, but if you look closely, she found that her outfit today was much more refined, with four or five layers inside and outside. She gradually layered when walking, and was bright and ostentatious but not eye-catching.

As for Mingtan—

When it came to Chunzheng Street in front of the Duke of Pingguo's mansion, it was difficult to move forward. I don't know how many people the third lady of the Zhang family invited to hold a poetry meeting. The carriages of each mansion were full of people, and the servants who led to the stables were a little busy. Many passers-by saw that the Duke of Pingguo's mansion was so lively today, and they looked here with their heads and minds.

Ming Chu and Ming Tan Chenhua shared a carriage, and they felt very upset and smelled all the way, and they didn't want to be too lazy with them for a moment.

Seeing that the car stopped for a long time, she couldn't help lifting the curtain and asked impatiently: "Why haven't you left yet?"

"Miss Three, I'm blocked in front of me and can't walk."

Ming Chu: "Isn't it better to let them move!"

Coachman: "…"

Ming Tan also lifted the curtain and looked out, then fell off the curtain, and raised Wumei: "Does the third sister want Princess Fengzhao to give way to you?"

Princess Fengzhao?

The daughter of the prince?

Ming Chu said nothing.

In fact, Ming Tan didn’t like the Princess Fengzhao. The golden chrysanthemum banquet last year ago, she composed a song "Yi Qiuyi" by herself. Everyone praised it as a beautiful song. It was actually a fairy music, and there was no objection to the position of the Lord of Flower.

Who would have thought that the princess who returned to Beijing from Yuncheng suddenly came to join in the fun. She said she was just having fun and everyone would do whatever she wanted. However, a daughter from a small family immediately lost her face without choosing her. Who dared to commit crimes afterwards? When she was throwing her into the chrysanthemum, she had to re-elect them one after another.

The princess was quite unaware of it. She thought that she was so beautiful that she was so talented that she was so talented that she had won the flower master. She had been joining in the entertainment industry in the past two years since she returned to Beijing. She often saw her in the flowers and feasts, but when she appeared, she always made the originally relaxed and fast atmosphere very delicate.

Perhaps because of the matter of the Flower Lord, Princess Fengzhao didn't like Ming Tan very much. She met occasionally and always had to cause trouble for her.

Fortunately, Mingtan is not a person who can't be angry. Although she can't openly offend the royal family, she can say that.

This Princess Fengzhao grew up in the southwest border since childhood, and the rules are just a little better than Ming Chu. She is not as good as Ming Chu, and she can't make trouble.

When the two met, Ming Tan often talked about etiquette and law, which led to the ancient and modern times, so she could not speak. Moreover, Ming Tan had many such noble girls around him, and it was even more fatal to sing and reconcile them.

Princess Fengzhao is here this time. Mingtan thought that it would be best not to contact her today. After all, she came for the second young master Shu, so she didn't have to leave any impression of being sharp-tongued.

However, Mingtan didn't know that when she was just lifting the curtain and looking around, the purpose of her attempt to meet the second young master Shu had already been achieved in advance.

Zhang Huaiyu could not bear the torment of his cousin, so he responded and asked Shu Er to come and taste tea. But Zhang Huaiyu was not a person who could taste tea peacefully. As soon as he mentioned Shu Er, Shu Er knew something was wrong and asked the truth.

However, Zhang Huaiyu agreed, and Shu Jingran knew the truth and had to help him earn this face in front of his cousin.

Shu Jingran had been parading on the streets before, but was thrown by the fruits and vegetables, and his whole body was hurt. The shadow in his heart had not yet dissipated and he was about to be watched by a group of ladies. When he thought about it, he felt his scalp tight and his whole body was uncomfortable.

So he suggested to Zhang Huaiyu that it would be better to invite talented men in the capital to taste tea and discuss poetry, and to be separated from his cousin's poetry meeting in the garden. In this way, the atmosphere is elegant and lively, and he doesn't have to suffer alone.

It was also because of this proposal that there was such a spectacular scene of scattered cars and horses in front of the Duke of Pingguo’s mansion today.

"You really won't go?" Shu Jingran stopped and asked at the intersection of Chunzheng Street.

Jiang Xu glanced at the lively scene indifferently: "There is a serious matter."

Last night, he was discussing affairs in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. It suddenly rained heavily in the night. He was stayed in the mansion for a while. Today, Shu Jingran was going to come to the Duke of Pingguo's Mansion to taste tea and discuss poetry. He was going to the Jingji camp to handle military affairs. The direction was consistent, so he went out together.

Jiang Xu finished speaking and was about to leave. Shu Jingran looked not far away and suddenly said wonderingly: "Isn't that the carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion?"

Jiang Xu glanced at the words.

He glanced at the carved carriage marked with the Ming Mansion was parked in the road. The curtain was gently pushed away by a pair of jade hands with fingers like a scallion root. The girl sitting inside had her hair loosely tied with her pupils, and her pupils cut water. She just tilted her head gently and looked out, just like the spring water reflecting pear blossoms, bright and charming, and indifferent.

Shu Jingran was stunned for a moment and chuckled with her hands behind her back: "This fourth lady from the Ming family is also a rare beauty."

"Aren't you unwilling to marry?" Jiang Xu asked suddenly.

"I don't want to marry, not because I don't want to marry this fourth lady of the Ming family, but because I don't want to marry for the time being." Shu Jingran explained, "Besides, I don't want to marry, there is no conflict with appreciating the beauty."

Jiang Xu glanced at him, too lazy to pay attention to it, and soon disappeared into the crowd-

The Duke of Pingguo’s Mansion was extremely large. When he entered the mansion, he was afraid that the guests would be tired, so he had a sedan chair to greet him. However, the spring was just right, and the girls were willing to talk and laugh and move forward on their own.

When we arrived at the poetry fair, the rockery was gurgling, peonies and peonies were blooming, and camellia tea and azaleas were competing for spring. There were several long tables placed around the flowers, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones on it. The resting place of the pavilion was filled with fruits and snacks, and the best tea was prepared.

Bai Minmin didn't have any meal when she went out. When Ming Tan and her party arrived, she was eating sugar-cheese green pears in the pavilion. The green pears were crispy. They were cut into neat pieces and placed in exquisite porcelain plates. Then they poured them with sugar slurry cheese and frosted. They were sweet and sour, delicious, and had a unique flavor.

Seeing that she had almost eaten up all the green pears, Zhou Jingwan persuaded her politely, asking her to restrain herself a little.

Zhang Hanmiao just attracted a lady to come. When she saw Bai Minmin, she didn't forget to joke: "If Sister Min likes this sugar-cheese green pear, I will let the chef go to Changguo Mansion tomorrow, but it's agreed that Sister Min still has to pay our chef according to the rules!"

Bai Minmin: "No need, I just want to leave after I have enough food in your Duke Ping's Mansion!"

All the girls around them covered their lips with their quilts and chuckled.

At this moment, the little maid led Ming Tan and the other two to come here.

Shen's painting is gentle and charming.

Ming Chuhong's skirt is bright and beautiful.

Mingtan wore a light green short jacket and a long white skirt with silver silk embroidered pear blossoms. Her makeup was light, but her facial features were more picturesque and her skin was delicate. There were very few hairpins on her hair, and only a jade-carved pear blossom was embedded in silver steps, shaking lightly, showing the girl's spring lightness when she was walking.

Ming Tan decided on this outfit for two days. After all, she had just retired from the marriage not long ago, and it was inconvenient to show off regardless of the reason. But she still wanted to attract Shu Er to look at him. If she couldn't show off, it would have to be a little special. Although her makeup was very light, it took a lot of thought to describe it.

Just looking at the moment when everyone's eyes flashed, Ming Tan knew that the painstaking efforts of these two days were not in vain.

"Why did you come? A Tan, we've been waiting for you for a while."

"I haven't seen each other for a few days, our little lady in the Ming family is becoming more and more erotic!"

"A Tan, can you use tea? The fruit tea from Miaobei is extremely sweet."

...

Ming Tan had a good relationship with many noble girls, and everyone welcomed her. Chen Hua and Ming Tan often went to and feasted in various palaces. Although it was difficult to integrate into this circle, she was well-rounded and talented. Everyone could maintain decentness at least on the surface. She was also very popular with ladies from common people. As soon as she appeared, many people came forward to talk and laugh.

It was only Ming Chuchu who appeared and ignored him, but Ming Tan introduced him: "By the way, this is my third sister, who has just returned to Beijing from Yangxi Road."

Nowadays, the legitimate and illegitimate families are taught the same way. Only when it comes to marriage, there will definitely be differences in the mother's family background. Therefore, at least on the surface, everyone has no prejudice against the concubine's daughter.

As the master, Zhang Hanmiao hurriedly followed Ming Tan's words and praised: "At first sight, I knew that Sister Chu must be a tiger girl in the general, and she was very heroic!"

That's nature.

Ming Chu said modestly, "Excessive Award", but his chin was slightly raised, and he didn't look at Zhang Hanmiao directly, but he didn't see any humble appearance.

Zhang Hanmiao's smile froze for a moment, and soon covered it up and turned to other topics.

The other ladies who wanted to praise him a few words stopped seeing Mingchu like this, and talked about something else as if nothing had happened. They thought in their hearts: I am a person who is not familiar with me and does not need to make friends with me. Have you figured out what territory this place and what kind of subject is it?

Ming Chu thought they were deliberately neglected by Ming Tan for some reason, and was resentful for a moment.

Also angry was Princess Fengzhao, who fell behind Ming Tan and his party but fell a little. She was obviously a garden that had entered one after another. She didn't let the maid speak out, and everyone didn't see her at all!

After standing for a while, she gave a look at the maid.

The maid hurriedly shouted: "Princess Fengzhao is here!"

Everyone looked at each other and responded half blessing: "See Princess, Princess Jin An."

“No need to be polite.”

Feng Zhao was so upset that he looked at Ming Tan coldly as he walked forward. When he walked to the pavilion, she looked at Ming Tan from top to bottom, and suddenly said with a smile: "The fourth lady of the Ming family is still so good, and the matter of breaking off the engagement does not seem to have any effect."

Everyone was silent.

She is the only one in finding troubles so straightforwardly.

Ran Mingtan directly ignored the second half and smiled out a pair of shallow and sweet little dimples: "Thank you for the praise of the princess."

"..." Princess Fengzhao said again, "It is difficult to see the ladies in their house again in the future. By the way, the fifth lady of the Linghou Mansion had borrowed a rare ancient book from this princess. I don't know where it is now. Miss Fourth, you have had an engagement with the Linghou Mansion. You should have a letter to the fifth lady—"

"Hey, what's wrong with you, A Tan?" Bai Minmin suddenly held Ming Tan and said worriedly.

Ming Tan: "It's okay, maybe I didn't use breakfast and I felt a little dizzy."

Everyone was busy caring for you and I, and Princess Fengzhao's words became cold inexplicably.

In fact, if you want to reply, Ming Tan has hundreds of words that can make Feng Zhao speechless. However, she doesn't want to bother with Feng Zhao today, and she is still waiting for the second son of Shu.

After a while of concern for the well-being, the topic was revealed. Zhang Hanmiao was preparing to start a poetry meeting. But Ming Chu saw that Princess Fengzhao and Ming Tan were not very good, and suddenly interrupted, "Is the fourth sister who fell into the water and suffered a cold before, but she has not yet recovered?"

Falling into the water? What's falling into the water?

Everyone was shocked and confused. Even Ming Tan never thought that Ming Chu would mention the incident of Shangyuan falling into the water on this occasion.
