Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

Early May is a great time to enjoy peonies.

The peonies cultivated in the mansion of Duke Song were in full bloom, so a flower-viewing banquet was held in the mansion.

It is said that this variety of peony is a rare species that he exchanged with a foreign merchant when he was guarding the border.

It is called Zi Er Qiao. Its petals are all purple-red, the color is deep but not heavy, and the stamens are bright yellow but not tender.

Once it blooms, the flower is almost bigger than a human face, with great momentum and natural pride.

Zi Erqiao could not grow up well in the environment at the border, so after a batch was offered to the emperor, the rest were left in the courtyard in the capital and carefully nurtured by selected gardeners.

This kind of flower is delicate and rare, and has never been seen in the capital.

In other words, in the capital, the only place where one could see this kind of peony, apart from the imperial palace, was the Duke of Song’s Mansion.

But how many people in the capital can enter the palace to appreciate the flowers?

Not to mention that Duke Song had made great military achievements and was not feared by the emperor because he had no children. He was an object that many people wanted to win over.

This is a rare opportunity, and all the guests who received the invitation attended the banquet as scheduled on the day of the banquet without exception.

The Duke of Song was indeed planning to let his daughter show up in the capital. If he wanted his daughter to stay in the capital, he naturally needed to make friends.

If you can choose a son-in-law at the same time, that would be great.

Therefore, among the guests, there were both men and women, most of whom were girls of the same age as the daughter of Duke Song.

In this dynasty, the separation between men and women was not very strict. The guests gathered in the pavilions and waterside terraces in the backyard, in groups of three or five, sitting or standing, admiring the blooming peonies and chatting.

The largest number of people gathered was Song Anya, the daughter of Duke Song, and the Princess Luoning who was personally conferred the title by the emperor a few days ago.

Anya Song grew up in the border area, she was lively and generous, with a bit of wildness and bright appearance.

She didn't spend much time in the capital, and when she did talk about topics, most of them were about the customs and practices on the border.

At the beginning, some people would chat for a few minutes out of curiosity.

We chatted for a long time, and since it wasn't a familiar place, the chat started to become boring.

There were also girls living in Beijing who took the initiative to bring up the topic, but Anya Song either couldn’t follow up or her face showed obvious boredom.

The noble ladies in the capital also had their own pride, so they no longer took the initiative to talk to Anya Song.

There was a girl whose family held a low official position. She finally got an invitation and came in, hoping to marry Princess Luoning.

This was a good opportunity, so he immediately approached her and said:

"Princess, do you know that there have been a lot of interesting things happening in the capital recently?"

"Funny thing?"

Anya Song couldn't get excited when she heard them talking about books and paintings, and when she saw that the person next to her was a girl from Beijing, she felt unhappy and couldn't get excited.

"What's the fun?"

The girl then began to talk about "Emperor's marriage arrangement", "marrying wife and concubine at the same time" and the recent "lack of affection between the princess and her husband".

"That happened last month, at the Qionglin Banquet..."

Perhaps she had some talent, and she described the cause and effect of the incident in a way that made it as dramatic as a storyteller.

Anya Song’s eyes widened little by little, and she became more energetic, and her emotions also changed with the content of the words.

She has been practicing martial arts with her father since she was young. She likes to stand up for the weak and cannot stand bullying.

When he heard about the childhood sweethearts being forcibly separated, he clenched his fists and slammed them on the table in front of him, making a dull sound.

"Why? How can your majesty do this?"

Just as I was getting angry, I heard the waiter's voice reporting from outside.

"Princess Zhaoyang has arrived."

Everyone looked over, and Anya Song also saw a red figure.

She immediately stood up and walked in that direction.
