At the end of May, Zhang Mu'er came back from another place and asked Yan Suxin and Shen Danxia to come out to drink tea. Chen Danxia first arrived at the teahouse, and Yan Suxin arrived soon. Zhang Mu'er finally arrived. As soon as she entered the door, Chen Danxia squeezed her and said, "You are the master, come later than our guests. Have lunch later, and you will pay the bill."

"Yes, yes, yes, no problem." Zhang Mu'er agreed with a good temper.

Behind Zhang Mu'er was a petite girl with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old figure and a pretty face. Yan Suxin asked with a smile: "Who is this?"

"This is my sister-in-law Mu Yang, sixth sister, this is Mrs. Chen, this is Mrs. Xu, and they are sister-in-law." Zhang Mu'er introduced both parties.

Mu Yang bowed his knees and said, "I have met Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Xu."

"Miss Mu doesn't have to be too polite." Yan Suxin raised her hand and said with a helping hand.

"Sixth sister will live in Beijing in the future. I will bring her here to meet you. Please take care of you more." Zhang Mu'er explained the reason why she brought Mu Yang with her.

Yan Suxin and Shen Danxia exchanged their eyes. Mu Yang looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old, so he was afraid that he wanted them to help him talk about him.

The four of them sat down, ordered tea and pastries, and chatted while drinking tea and eating pastries. The main reason was Zhang Mu'er, Yan Suxin and the other two listened; Zhang Mu'er talked about the scene of herding horses outside the pass, and finally recited a poem in a summary manner, "The song of the swallows has not stopped, and the grass is green while the horses are neighing. If you have the chance, you must go and see with your own eyes. There is really endless blue sky and endless green grass."

"Okay, don't tempt us, knowing that we can't be as free as you." Chen Danxiaheng said with a glance. Mu Wei found a eight-official field consultant and took Zhang Mu'er around the country, and his two children followed.

The few people were having a happy chat, and the noise came from the downstairs, "Hurry up and free up the best private room here and bring two pots of tea in the store."

"What? The private room is full, and there are guests here, so you can't feast? Are you blind? Didn't you see our Lord bringing the distinguished guests?"

"Who is so arrogant, you can't rest assured to drink tea." Chen Danxia frowned.

"Go out and have a look." Zhang Mu'er got up and walked out.

"This girl still loves watching the fun." Yan Suxin smiled and shook her head.

Several people followed and saw several people who seemed to be officials leading a few men and women in foreign costumes; Yan Suxin and the other four did not know the officials, and a man came out of a private room next to them. All four knew him, Zhao Chengzhi, the prince of the Marquis of Xiangqing. He sneered: "Who am I supposed to be? It turns out that he is Zuo, the Minister of the Honglu Temple. In a quiet place like a teahouse, what do you want to do?

"Master Zuo, you are an official in Dafeng, representing the face of the court. How can you make your subordinates scream like this? Those who don't know think which playboy is here to disturb the people." Yang Cong, the prince of Pei Guogong, also walked out and said sarcastically.

"Brother Yang, you are wrong. No one will misunderstand that Lord Zuo is a playboy." Prince of Jingguo Deng Jianfeng walked out.

"Why am I wrong?" Yang Cong asked.

"There is such an old playboy." Deng Jianfeng said with a smile. The tea shoppers watching the fun next to him couldn't help laughing.

Lord Zuo bowed with blushing face and said, "The lower official has met Prince Yang, Prince Deng, and Prince Zhao."

The three of them snorted softly. After Zhao Chengzhi stepped down as Minister of the Honglu Temple and went to the Ministry of Rites, this Lord Zuo took over.

"Don't Master Zuo introduce us?" The young man wearing a brocade robe with a slightly blue face standing beside Zuo Siqing asked in a fluent Dafeng Mandarin.

"This is Prince Yang of Duke Pei's Mansion, this is Prince Deng of Duke Jing's Mansion, and this is Prince Zhao of Duke Xiangqing's Mansion." Zuo Siqing politely introduced to both parties, "The three princes, this is King Jiang from Nanmeng, and this is Princess Luna from Nanmeng."

South Myanmar has been defeated by Xu Lang more than ten years ago and has been in peace for a long time. At the end of last year, the King of South Myanmar died. The new King of South Myanmar succeeded to the throne. On the grounds of sending tribute to the New Year, the King Jiang and the second princess arrived in Jindu in mid-May. However, the emperor was addicted to alchemy and had not summoned them yet. The King of New Myanmar was very prosperous and strong, and the border between the two countries has been peaceful for so long. I am afraid that he wants to start another war. King Jiang is the younger brother of the King of South Myanmar. This time he came to find out the truth and reality of Dafeng.

The three princes bowed their hands and said coldly: "King Jiang is polite, Princess Luna is polite."

Princess Luna was attracted by Zhao Chengzhi's extraordinary beauty, her eyes fluttered, she threw her charming eyes at him, and said in a sweet voice: "Criminal Zhao is polite." Yang Cong and Deng Jianfeng didn't care about Luna's ignorance.

King Jiang did not return the favor and stared at Shen Danxia who was standing not far away, a beautiful lady. King Jiang was a lustful person. He didn't like yellow flowers and preferred cute women. Shen Danxia was in his thirties, and was in his best years, which made King Jiang fall in love with him at first sight.

With Zhao Chengzhi's obstruction, I think this matter cannot be disturbed and there is no excitement to watch. Yan Suxin and the other two were about to go back to their room to continue drinking tea and chat. When Jiang Wang saw the beauty was about to leave, he said anxiously: "Several ladies, please stay."

Yan Suxin and others ignored it. King Jiang rushed over and reached out to grab Shen Danxia's shoulder, but was stopped by Mo Si. The three princes frowned unhappily and said in a deep voice: "King Jiang please respect yourself."

King Jiang ignored them at all and stared at Shen Danxia, ​​"Miss, is King Jiang from Southern Myanmar? Is your surname Fang's name?"

Shen Danxia didn't hear it, so he walked into the room. King Jiang wanted to follow in, but Mo Shi kicked out and closed the door heavily. Looking at King Jiang who was kicked up to the sky, Zhao Chengzhi walked over and stopped the door, snorted coldly, and said, "King Jiang, this is the Jindu of Dafeng, not the Southern Myanmar where you can act recklessly."

Lord Zuo stepped forward and helped King Jiang up. King Jiang stood up, brushed his brocade robe and said, "Criminal Zhao, you are too busy with other people's affairs. The person I like is my king."

Zhao Chengzhi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed by, "Master Zuo, if you can't teach the Southern Myanmar people what etiquette rules are, I don't mind. I will ask the emperor to ask the soldiers of Dafeng to teach." Yang Cong and Deng Jianfeng looked at him in confusion. Zhao Chengzhi, who had always been calm and clear, was actually angry!

Such an obvious threat made King Jiang's face darker and he asked: "What does Prince Zhao mean?"

"What does King Jiang think this prince mean, that's what it means." Zhao Chengzhi would not allow a dirty person like King Jiang, Shen Danxia, ​​to see Shen Danxia, ​​which was the white moonlight he could not ask for.

"This is Dafeng's way of hospitality, Xiao Wang has seen it." Wang Jiang knew that he could not get a good deal, so he left.

"Three princes, the lower lord will take the lead." Zuo Siqing hurriedly chased after him.

King Jiang was frustrated and went straight back to the Siyi Pavilion, knocked away Zuo Siqing, and called his confidant, "Go, check who the woman is for me, and arrange someone to rob her back for me." He looked arrogant to Chen Danxia's determination to win.

The trusted person took the order and left.

Princess Luna walked in, "Brother Second Prince, I have chosen my husband, and it is the prince of the Xiangqing Marquis' Mansion."

"If you can suppress all the noble ladies of Dafeng and make them feel ashamed, you should be able to do your best." Jiang Wang said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Brother Second Prince, I will definitely show the style of Princess Nanmura in front of the noble girls of Dafeng." Princess Luna said confidently.

Chen Danxia and Zhao Chengzhi had no idea at all. They were divided up by two self-righteous brothers and sisters. In the evening, King Jiang's confidant came back, "Prince, that little lady is Xu Lang's wife Shen."

"Xu Lang, this name is very familiar." Jiang Wang frowned.

"It was the general who broke through the Three Kingdoms coalition." The confidant reminded him.

"It's him." King Jiang touched his chin, his eyes flashed, and he pondered without saying a word.

Two days later, the emperor still did not summon the envoys from Nanmei, but asked the King of Yan to host a banquet to entertain them. After King Jiang learned about it, he asked Zuo Siqing, "Will General Xu Lang and Xu attend this banquet?"

"General Xu's father passed away at the beginning of the year, and General Xu Ding You, such a banquet will not be attended." Zuo Siqing replied.

"Please tell Your Highness, King Yan, that I hope General Xu can attend with his family." King Jiang curled his lips and smiled. There were so many people at the banquet that he had a chance. He didn't know the ghost and didn't feel like he would sleep with the little lady.

"King Jiang, General Xu is mourning at home, and he must avoid these banquets according to the etiquette. Even if the King of Yan is the King, he cannot force General Xu to attend the banquet." Zuo Siqing said in a deep voice. Attending the banquet during the filial period will attract criticism.

"Can't you make an exception?" Jiang Wang asked.

Zuo Siqing shook his head, "No."

King Jiang touched his chin, and it seemed that he could only think of another way.

"Will Prince Xiangqing Hou attend?" Princess Luna asked anxiously.

"Crown Prince Zhao will attend with his wife." Zuo Siqing replied.

"Madam Prince? He has married." Princess Luna pouted.

"Crown Prince Zhao has married two wives. Now this is his step-wife. His original wife died of illness a few years ago." Zuo Siqing replied.

"What disease did you get?" asked Princess Luna.

Zuo Siqing hesitated for a moment and said, "The wife of the prince was accidentally caught in the water and died of wind and cold." The matter of Lingyou County Lord is a scandal. It has been so many years. If you can cover it up, you can cover it up. You can't throw your face abroad.

Princess Luna's eyes flashed, it was a good way to fall into the water.

The banquet was held in Zaoyuan, with male guests separated, Donghe Garden was hosted by King Yan, and Xifu Garden was hosted by Princess Yan Yang Lingzhi. June is a good time to enjoy the lotus, and the pool of lotus flowers are graceful. A drizzle in the morning makes the lotus leaves full of raindrops, the breeze blows, the lotus leaves sway, and the raindrops roll around on the lotus leaves.

Yang Lingzhi was wearing a princess's regular dress, a long skirt with rose red embroidered golden phoenix swaying on the floor, and a double-ring bun. In the middle is the pearl-carved phoenix crown that represents her identity, and the edges are pink beads and peony flowers. The ladies who came to the banquet tasted their makeup, while the girls wore summer clothes of different colors, which were light and elegant.

The ladies either gathered together to gossip or complimented her around Yang Lingzhi. The girls were talking about Princess Luna who had not yet arrived.

"I don't know what that foreign princess looks like?"

"What else can you grow into? It's not just one nose and two eyes."

"Oh, I mean, will she have blue eyes and yellow head?"

"It's possible that last time I went to a foreign business, I saw the daughter of the boss of the business, with red eyes, which was so scary."

The girls were talking, and the eunuch's notice came in, "Princess Luna, South Myanmar, is here."

Princess Luna did not wear Southern Burmese clothing, but was wearing a skirt similar to the Dafeng noble girls. The difference was that the belt was tied to her chest, making her look tall. In her movements, the ribbons tied between her chest fluttered casually, giving her a unique charm.

The ladies don’t like it, but the men from Donghe Garden across the pond are completely opposite. Princess Luna’s eyes fluttered, she smiled cleverly, and said, “Luna has seen Princess Yan, and Princess Yan is safe.”

"Princess Luna doesn't have to be too polite, please sit down." Yang Lingzhi signaled her maid to lead her to the seat of the guest of honor.

The music started and the banquet officially began.

Princess Luna asked Yang Lingzhi three glasses of wine and asked, "I wonder which one is the wife of Prince Xiangqing Houzi?"

Zhao Chengzhi's step-wife, Xiao 6, is the daughter of the British cousin. When he heard the question, he stood up and said, "Princess, I am the wife of the Prince of Xiangqing."

Princess Luna looked her up and down and said, "I don't look very good, and I'm not worthy of Prince Xiangqing."

Everyone heard this and all of them stumbled. Princess Luna was not the second county lord Lingyou? When the wife of the Prince of Xiangqing Hou was really pitiful, she was always criticized. Xiao 6 smiled faintly and said, "My marriage with the prince was the reference of the Queen. The imperial decree said that I and the Prince are made by heaven. What the princess said is that the Queen's vision is not as good as you?"

Although County Lord Lingyou is not favored, she is now a half-sister after all. She does not look at monks and Buddha faces. 6 Zhao could only avoid her sharp edge back then, but Princess Luna is just a foreign princess. What qualifications are there to show her power? Xiao 6 fights back without showing any weakness.

Everyone secretly said good.

Princess Luna pursed her lips and said, "Princess, it's not fun to sit and chat like this. Why not compare our talents? Which side will be fined if you lose?"

Yang Lingzhi was hesitant. It was very common for girls to gather together to show their talents at the party on weekdays. Girls from various prefectures used this to show their talents, and wives from various prefectures used this to see who was suitable for their sons. But today's situation was different, and it would be fine if Dafeng won. If he lost, I am afraid that King Yan would blame her for not stopping this matter.

Princess Luna saw Princess Yan hesitating and raised her lips and said, "Princess, if you have poor alcohol tolerance, just pretend I didn't say it."

This seemed like Dafeng would definitely lose, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the noble girls, "Just compete, who is afraid of whom." "Why didn't the princess agree to her? Are we still afraid of her a small country in our great country?" "Whatever she wants to compete, our noble girls in Dafeng can go ahead." "It's better to compare her face and let her go back to Nanmei."

Although the noble girls' voices were not loud, they were not small. After hearing this, Princess Yan knew that if she did not agree to this matter, she would be defeated without a fight. She smiled and said, "Since the princess has such a good mood, she should accompany her as the master."

"Thank you for your agreement," Princess Luna smiled.

"I wonder which talent the princess wants to compete for?" In order to show her style, Yang Lingzhi gave the right to Princess Luna.

"To be fair, it is better to draw lots, including piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing, dancing, flower arrangement, throwing pots and riding horses, shooting archery and making calculations, and you can compare with that one if you draw, how about it?" Princess Luna smiled.

Yang Lingzhi saw Princess Luna's confident look, and her heart was sunk. Princess Luna proposed a competition and had to rely on something; but now it was already on the string, so Yang Lingzhi smiled and said, "As the princess said, come, come with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
