Chapter 409

Emperor Qingming confessed that the Ministry of rites and the imperial heavenly supervisor jointly handled the matter. After that, he was patient and calmed his heart. He listened to the courtiers discuss local political affairs for less than half an hour.

After retreating from the dynasty, Xia Tingzhen and others were called to the imperial study for discussion.

……

The next day, it was a beautiful and pleasant day.

Early in the morning, Xu Mingyi sat at the dressing table.

Ah Kui combs her hair with great care and selects the jewelry to use. Today, the girl will go out with her wife to attend the flower party at Mrs. Wen's house, but the girl doesn't go to these occasions on weekdays. It's very difficult to go there. Naturally, she should treat it with care.

The girl said she didn't have to be so troublesome. After all, she didn't go to see people. She liked which childe and wanted to be a daughter-in-law.

But the girl doesn't care, but she does care - you know, when girls go out and stand in one place, they have to be compared, and is it just the appearance of girls?

Of course not.

Among them, there are also the skills of combing hair and matching clothes, skirts and jewelry of the big servant girls in each house.

Xu Mingyi didn't know the stress and competition. After a Kui carefully measured it, he looked in the mirror. He didn't exaggerate. His mind was focused on the details, so he nodded his head with satisfaction and went out with his mother.

Speaking of Mrs. Wen's flower party, Xu Mingyi hasn't been there for five or six years.

The reason why this time has passed is that Cui has really talked about it several times - she knows that her grandfather left Beijing for the war, and her mother deliberately took her out to relax. This kind of intention is not good, and she has repeatedly refused. There is nothing to do today. She should only be with her mother.

The mother thought she was with her daughter, and the daughter thought she was with her mother. In short, this door went out like this.

Although Mrs. Wen loves horse hanging and is addicted to vegetables, she is indeed a famous family. The flower fair in her family has been held for seven or eight years and is quite famous in the capital.

Therefore, most of the ladies and girls who have received the post will not be absent.

And because today's weather is really excellent and very suitable for enjoying flowers and tea, the flower Party became more and more hot and noisy.

In the garden, flowers are blooming, rockeries are narrow, streams are quiet and vulgar, ladies talk and laugh, and from time to time, some girls play the piano and recite poetry.

"It's rare to see a Xu girl these years. It's rare to come back today. Why don't you go to the pavilion and play a song?" a woman suggested with a smile.

Xu Mingyi said with a smile, "I'm not good at playing the piano. I still don't make a fool of myself."

In fact, this is one of the reasons why she doesn't come here easily. Performing talents in public in front of her elders is no different from a nightmare for her.

It's not that she has any prejudice against this behavior. She also appreciates the girls who are willing to stand up, but she really can't do it.

Mrs. Wen looked at the girl sitting there, smiling and said, "do the girls of the Xu family still need to perform any talents? The first beauty of the capital, just sitting here will be a feast for our eyes. Do you say yes or no?"

Several women smiled and nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Wen is very good at talking and doing things, which may be clear, but she also feels that the lady is probably frightened by her

I still remember that she came to Mrs. Wen's flower party five or six years ago.

And performed the same talent.

But unlike ordinary Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, she performs shooting.

At that time, when I was young and in my teens, I wanted to show off. I probably wrote "let you see my power" on my face——

Or God couldn't see her show off and beat her, so he called her a hoof in front of her horse.

I still remember that as soon as the arrow was put up, before it could aim at the bull's-eye, it flew out uncontrollably. Kan Kan swept the silk flowers on a woman's temples, scared the woman almost to the sky, and screamed and fainted on the spot.

The chaotic and thrilling situation and the awkward and subtle atmosphere at that time are unforgettable to her.

Therefore, there was no reason why he did not attend the flower party later.

The woman is Mrs. Wen's dowry. She still trembles when she sees her.

"... are you really not good at piano?"

At this time, suddenly a clear voice asked quietly.

Xu Mingyi looked up and saw that the girl sitting in front of her turned her head. A pair of deep black and bright eyes with thick eyelashes looked at her curiously.

Thinking of the girl's relationship with Wu Tsung, Xu Mingyi nodded softly with a smile: "yes."

"But you Zhongzhou women didn't learn this from childhood?" the girl whispered, "I thought you were all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"There are exceptions."

"So you don't like learning these?" the girl seemed to finally find someone to talk to. One question after another was thrown out, and her body turned to Xu Mingyi: "what do you like?"

"I was born in martial arts, so I learned some riding and shooting." Xu Mingyi kept his voice low.

First, she didn't want to attract too much attention. Second, cough, she said she learned to ride and shoot in the Shangshu house of the Ministry of rites. This word called her very discouraged.

"Coincidentally, I learned how to ride and shoot since I was a child!" Princess sang Yun was very surprised and hurriedly said, "how about going riding together another day?"

The invitation came very suddenly, and the little girl in front of her seemed very eager to make friends with others. Xu Mingyi was a little puzzled about it. However, even if she threw away her confusion and wanted to nod her head, she had to worry about the identity of both sides——

Therefore, he could only smile and reply: "unfortunately, he just suffered some low back injuries a few days ago. I'm afraid he can't have fun with the princess. How about taking care of the injury after some time and sending a post to the princess?"

For fear of misunderstanding by girls, her tone should be as gentle as possible.

Rao is so. The smile on Princess sangyun's cheek is still light. She subconsciously glances at Xu Mingyi's waist.

Is there really a low back injury?

Or is it just a deliberate prevarication?

But... Where on earth did the other party come from to decline her invitation?

If she hadn't just heard that she was a girl from the town government, she might have some family background. As the princess of King Yan's house, she might not have seen more, but now she took the initiative to talk, but the other party picked up the shelf?

Princess sang Yun, who was consciously denied face, lost her enthusiasm in her tone and said, "since there is an injury to her body, it's hard to force."

Seeing that she seemed a little unhappy about it, Xu Mingyi secretly wondered.

Is the princess too simple?

Is it because you've never left the north?

Xu Mingyi looked at the girl trying to turn around, but it seemed that he suddenly thought of something and looked at her again——
