Chapter 347 I Want to Reward You
Chapter 347 I Want to Reward You
This attracted praise from countless ladies.
Dan Zhu said enviously, "The eldest lady is so glorious today. The queen might choose her as the prince's consort."
His Majesty has six princes, and the eldest and second princes are already engaged.
Now they are looking at the sixteen-year-old Third Prince and the twelve-year-old Fourth Prince.
It’s mainly for the third prince.
Because he is old enough.
Looking at Sheng Minghua who was like a moon surrounded by stars not far away.
Xianxian just glanced at her indifferently.
At this moment Sheng Minghua also looked at Xianxian.
Seeing Xianxian enjoying the wind with her eyes closed, she looked very comfortable and comfortable, which was extremely eye-catching.
She couldn't help but say to the Duke's wife, "Mother, why don't you let my second sister come over to meet the ladies?"
The Duke's wife turned around when she heard the voice.
I also saw Xianxian looking relaxed.
She was in a rather tricky position, with half a short tree hiding her somewhat.
If you don't pay special attention, you really won't notice that someone is hiding there.
The Duke's wife said calmly, "Since she wants to hide, let her hide by herself."
Twisted melons are not sweet.
My undisciplined daughter.
If you really enter the royal family, it may not be a good thing.
But when she saw Sheng Minghua, her eyes couldn't help but become softer.
But Hua'er is different. She is more gentle and generous, and can bring glory to the Sheng family.
The third prince Meng Xuanqing had been observing in the dark and soon noticed Xianxian in the corner.
She sat there quietly, looking down at the fan.
The sun shone on her shoulders.
Not far away, the women in the family were smiling and agreeing.
Being in your own world, quiet and without noise.
Meng Xuanqing always felt that she looked familiar, and couldn't help but ask the eunuch beside him, "Do you know who the girl in the corner is?"
"That is the second young lady of the Sheng family, Sheng Wan."
Sheng Wan?
It turned out to be her.
The one who encountered the Taoist priest.
The girl ordered the maid to drive away the charlatan.
I didn't expect it to be this big now.
Meng Xuanqing was really curious.
Why was she staying alone in the corner?
Could it be that I was bullied?
While no one else was paying attention, he quietly came to Xianxian's side.
"Who are you? Why are you staying here? Today is the Queen's Hundred Flowers Banquet. Shouldn't you go to the front to enjoy the flowers?"
Xianxian had already noticed Meng Xuanqing as early as when he appeared.
But Danzhu was shocked.
He stared at Meng Xuanqing with a wary look on his face.
"who are you?"
"Danzhu, please do not be rude. This is the Third Prince."
Her slender eyes fell on the other person's clothes.
The dragon pattern above is the exclusive clothing for princes.
It seems that the other person’s age is just right for the Third Prince.
Dan Zhu bowed her head and saluted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Third Prince. I am truly sorry for the offense."
"fine."
Meng Xuanqing didn't take it to heart.
Just continue to look at Xianxian.
He noticed Meng Xuanqing's curiosity about him.
Xianxian slowly stood up and bowed towards him.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
"No need to be so polite. You haven't answered the question I asked you just now. Why don't you go with them to appreciate the flowers instead of sitting alone in the corner?"
If it were any other girl, she would have blushed when faced with the questions from a strange man.
Although the other party is still a teenager, he has a handsome appearance and elegant manners, and his status is that of a high-ranking prince.
Any girl who is just beginning to fall in love will be moved.
Xianxian looked towards the clusters of flowers in the distance.
"I just want to stay away from the crowd. I don't want to join in the fun. It's too much trouble."
She's just a little girl.
But he speaks like an adult.
Meng Xuanqing put his hands behind his back and stared at Xianxian.
"You are so interesting, you like to be lazy like this."
The two of them chatted idly until the others noticed Meng Xuanqing's appearance.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
The other party was Deng Yuaner, the daughter of the Minister of Rites.
Deng Yuaner came forward with a look of surprise on her face, and the joy in her eyes could hardly be suppressed.
But when she saw Xianxian.
I couldn't help but frown slightly.
I didn't expect someone to get there before me.
Deng Yuan'er bowed slightly to Xianxian as a courtesy.
Xianxian also returned her greeting.
"Ms. Deng."
"Second Miss Sheng, I just saw your mother and first Miss Sheng. Why didn't you go with them to appreciate the flowers?"
What this means is that you should leave and stop being a third wheel here.
Originally, Xianxian didn't want to be a light bulb.
But the other party seemed so righteous.
Xianxian really can't stand it.
She smiled at Deng Yuaner.
"I don't like to appreciate flowers, I just like to stay here."
You really have no tact.
Deng Yuaner was a little unhappy.
But considering that Meng Xuanqing is here.
She didn't get angry at Xianxian.
She just looked at Meng Xuanqing shyly.
"Your Highness, are you bored? Do you need me to accompany you to appreciate the flowers?"
Facing Deng Yuaner's expectant eyes, Meng Xuanqing did not respond, but turned to look at Xianxian.
"Miss Sheng seems very bored, why don't you let me go for a walk with you?"
This is simply a slap in the face to Deng Yuaner.
I have already lowered my status to invite you.
But Meng Xuanqing actually turned to look at Xianxian.
Why?
She stared at Xianxian, trying to threaten her with her eyes.
Xianxian was not interested in Meng Xuanqing's invitation at first.
But Deng Yuaner was determined to commit suicide.
I hate being threatened the most.
She glanced at Deng Yuaner out of the corner of her eye, then turned and nodded slightly to Meng Xuanqing.
"Okay, since the Third Prince has invited me so warmly, why should I refuse?"
The other party actually agreed?
There was a flash of surprise in Deng Yuaner's eyes.
But then it turns into boundless jealousy.
"Your Highness!"
Seeing that the two were about to leave together, Deng Yuaner hurriedly stood in front of them.
A smile on the pretty face.
But it wasn't a smile from the heart.
It looks very twisted and strange.
Meng Xuanqing looked at her in confusion.
"what happened?"
"Why not let me come along to enjoy the flowers? I can also talk to Second Miss Sheng."
Who wants to talk to you?
It's obvious that the real purpose is not to drink.
Meng Xuanqing did not agree.
Just looked towards Xianxian.
The meaning is obvious.
As long as Xianxian agrees.
He agreed.
Deng Yuaner held the handkerchief and looked at Xianxian.
"I have heard of the second young lady of the Sheng family before. Seeing is believing. Why don't we enjoy the flowers and chat together?"
In order to be able to get along with Meng Xuanqing.
He actually started praising his love rival.
I didn't want to argue with her.
But Deng Yuaner just doesn't know how to behave.
Xianxian squinted her eyes and smiled, "Okay..."
Just as joy was rising in Deng Yuan'er's eyes, she heard the second half of Xianxian's sentence.
"But since you invited me to enjoy the flowers together, Your Highness the Third Prince, I'm sorry that I can't enjoy the flowers with you."
Before Deng Yuan'er could come to her senses, Xianxian stepped forward and put her arms around her.
"Ms. Deng, let's go enjoy the flowers together."
"Ah... three..."
Before the Third Prince could even shout out, he was dragged away by Xianxian.
Unexpectedly, Xianxian was so strong that Deng Yuaner couldn't break free at all.
I could only watch Meng Xuanqing go away.
Finally, Deng Yuan'er couldn't stand it anymore and pulled her arm back with force.
She straightened her clothes and said through gritted teeth, "Sheng Wan, are you sick? We could have shown our faces in front of the Third Prince together."
"You would rather we both lose the opportunity than let me show my face in front of His Highness. You are so selfish and petty."
Xianxian was fanning herself with a leisurely look on her face, and didn't listen to Deng Yuaner's words at all.
"Don't you want to enjoy the flowers together?"
This made Deng Yuaner feel like she was punching cotton.
She left Xianxian behind and hurried back to the corner where she had been.
It’s a pity that Meng Xuan left early in the morning.
Deng Yuaner stomped her feet hard and prepared to go find Xianxian to settle the score.
"Sheng Wan."
She just grabbed Xianxian in an arrogant manner.
But before it touched the corner of Xianxian's clothes, it was blocked by Xianxian's round fan.
Xianxian looked at her.
"Not polite."
"You said I was rude?"
Deng Yuan'er pointed at herself, but her eyes showed disbelief.
"Who is rude? If you hadn't shown up, I could have enjoyed the flowers with the Third Prince."
"You don't know what the Hundred Flowers Banquet is for, do you?"
Xianxian played with the round fan with her fingertips, making it spin in circles in her hands. Her movements were both elegant and leisurely.
"I know."
"Then you ruined my good thing."
Seeing that the other party was still stubborn, Xianxian simply made things clear.
"The Third Prince never paid any attention to you from the beginning to the end, let alone thought of enjoying the flowers with you. It was just you who shamelessly invited him."
"If he really wanted to enjoy the flowers with you, he wouldn't have turned around and asked me what I thought."
"Deng Yuan'er, are you really not clear, or are you pretending not to know?"
Of course I pretended not to know.
It's completely blind self-confidence and thinking of how excellent he is.
I can definitely become the prince's consort, and the third prince will definitely fall in love with me.
Deng Yuaner's face turned pale and red.
It seemed that she was quite irritated by Xianxian's words.
She was choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
Xianxian had no intention of getting entangled with her anymore and prepared to turn around and leave with Danzhu.
If you focus all your attention on a man, it will also become worthless in the end.
"You stop."
The angry Deng Yuaner rushed forward and tried to grab Xianxian and not let go, but Xianxian dodged sideways.
Deng Yuaner felt even more embarrassed when she failed.
She raised her hand and was about to slap Xianxian, while continuing to complain.
"You are just the second daughter who is not favored. What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?"
But before she touched Xianxian.
A hand grabbed her wrist and pushed her away forcefully.
Deng Yuaner's attack was too weak, Xianxian didn't need to use any mana at all.
Having been humiliated time and again, Deng Yuaner's chest heaved up and down, and it seemed that she was very angry.
But Xianxian, who was sitting opposite her, looked as usual, and she looked so calm and composed.
"Deng Yuan'er, you don't think I'm easy to bully, do you?"
"Instead of getting mad at me, why don't you try to find another opportunity?"
The two of them had a grudge against each other.
Xianxian originally wanted to continue to hide away and have some free time.
But the Duchess's wife sent someone to invite her over.
It turned out that the banquet was about to begin, and the Queen and Consort Xian had already appeared.
Their original intention was to look for girls for the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince.
One by one, the young ladies began to show their talents.
Xianxian was playing with her handkerchief out of boredom.
When Sheng Minghua finished playing the piano, the Queen and Concubine Xian nodded in satisfaction.
Whether in terms of appearance or reputation, Sheng Minghua is the most suitable candidate for the prince's consort.
She was charming and graceful like an orchid, and her every move was gentle and virtuous.
"This young lady from the Sheng family is really nice. She looks very blessed."
Being blessed means having good fertility.
Sheng Minghua is indeed good-looking and fertile.
Because she looks more like the Duke's wife.
Although Duke Sheng is a man, he has an impeccable handsome appearance.
The Duke's wife is not ugly, but she can only be described as gentle and generous in appearance.
Xianxian's body is different, and she has inherited the beauty of Duke Sheng.
It seems that the Queen and Concubine Xian are quite satisfied with Sheng Minghua.
But at this moment a voice sounded.
"My dear ladies, there is more than one young lady in the Sheng family."
"Oh? Is there another young lady from the Sheng family?"
The Queen looked at the Duke's wife with great interest.
The Duke's wife stood up hurriedly and said, "I have another daughter, Sheng Wan, come and pay your respects to the Empress and Consort Xian."
I was originally just a background picture.
But he can't stand Deng Yuaner, this troublemaker.
The person who spoke just now was Deng Yuaner.
Xianxian could only step forward and salute the Queen and Concubine Xian.
"Your humble servant Sheng Wan greets Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Consort. I wish Her Majesty eternal blessings."
There is still a childish look on his face.
But one can already foresee her future unrivalled beauty.
Sheng Minghua has a dignified and elegant appearance.
Then the Sheng Wan in front of us has a delicate and petite appearance.
Her temperament is even more cold.
It makes people feel that she doesn't seem to care about anything.
She just lowered her head slightly, revealing her beautiful eyes and eyebrows.
Concubine Xian couldn't help but sigh, "What a beautiful little beauty, just looking at her makes people feel happy."
The Duke of Sheng was famous for his handsomeness back then.
Xianxian inherited his strengths.
"Thank you for the compliment, Madam Concubine."
The queen was even more curious and asked, "Do you have any talents?"
"Your servant can paint."
"Okay, someone come and put pen to paper."
I saw Xianxian rolling up her sleeves and picking up the brush to paint the peony, which was lifelike and seemed to reveal the temperament of the queen of flowers.
"Your Majesty, I would like to present you with a painting of a peony, wishing you unrivaled beauty."
Looking at the peony painting in front of her, the queen nodded with shining eyes.
But at this time Xianxian continued to paint, and a picture of orchids appeared in front of everyone.
It is as faint as orchid, and you can almost smell the light orchid fragrance.
"My Lady, I present you with orchids, because you are as noble as orchids."
This is the intention.
The peony is the national flower, and only the Queen can be compared to it.
The virtuous concubine loved orchids even more, because all her hairpins were orchid hairpins.
"it is good."
The queen ordered the painting to be put away.
"She is such a kind and good girl. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very considerate in everything she does."
"Thank you for the compliment, ma'am."
"I want to reward you with something."
Everyone present was stunned.
You have to know the performance of so many noble ladies before.
The Queen and Consort Xian had no intention of rewarding her at all.
But when it was Xianxian's turn, she actually wanted to give rewards.
The queen took off the jade bracelet on her wrist.
"I haven't prepared any gifts, so this jade bracelet is the gift for meeting you."
