Shocked, the idiot's daughter drove a fighter jet to the battlefield
Chapter 33 Banquet
The Hibiscus Garden was already ablaze with flowers and green willows. Almost all the noble ladies from various mansions had arrived, all of them wearing luxurious clothes and dazzling jewelry. It seemed as if they had not come here to appreciate the flowers, recite poems, or compose essays, but to compete with each other in beauty.
The first thing I saw was a few women sitting around a pavilion not far away, chatting and laughing.
Some women were gathering in groups of three or five, whispering, talking and laughing nearby.
Cai Ma, the manager of Furong Garden, noticed someone coming in and hurried forward to greet them.
She knew Li Man, and when she noticed Nan Mo, she was stunned for a moment and then spoke, "I guess this is Miss Nan?"
"Madam Cai has a good eye. Looking at the entire capital, who else besides Nan Mo can have such a stunning beauty?"
After Li Man finished speaking, she did not forget to blink at Nan Mo, as if to take credit.
Nan Mo glared helplessly, then smiled and said to the nanny, "Hello, nanny."
"Hey... okay, okay..."
Aunt Cai was surprised by Nan Mo's appearance, and was even more shocked that Nan Mo was not the idiot as rumored outside? ! !
Li Man pulled Nan Mo inside, but after taking one step, she quickly let go of her arm and smiled awkwardly.
When the people in the pavilion heard the noise, they all looked towards the door.
When they saw Nan Mo, who was wearing a goose yellow dress and had an extraordinary temperament and stunning appearance, standing beside Li Man, the smiles on their faces froze.
After a moment, they all turned their eyes to the woman among them.
The woman hurriedly hid the resentment in her eyes and forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "Why are you all looking at me?"
Then he adjusted his sleeves naturally, looking as if he didn't take Nan Mo seriously at all.
Several women around looked at each other, and one of them whispered, "Who is with Li Man? How come I have never seen him before?"
"Master Heng just returned to the capital not long ago, and he held this grand flower-viewing banquet. Everyone knows the purpose of this banquet. Now that a strange woman has come, her identity is self-evident."
The woman in the middle suddenly said this.
The others looked shocked.
"Why is it Nan Mo, that idiot?"
A woman in pink was much calmer, "God is fair, he lets you be a fool while giving you a good skin..."
Before she finished saying the word "skin", the other woman had already pushed the other woman and signaled her to look at the woman in the middle.
The pink-dressed woman quickly stood up, leaned forward and flattered the woman in the middle, "No matter how good the fool Nan Mo's appearance is, it can't compare to Sister Chen's beauty.
What's more, Nan Mo is just a fool. Sister Chen is proficient in poetry and songs. She is the most beautiful and talented woman in the capital. We are really ashamed in front of Sister Chen."
Several other noble ladies also echoed this.
Chen Yanxi, the daughter of Duke Chen, who was sitting in the middle, curled her lips, then slowly stood up and walked towards the bottom of the pavilion, "Almost everyone has arrived, I guess the banquet is about to begin."
The woman in pink breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed with several other noble ladies.
The handkerchief in Michelle Chen's hand had already been wrinkled.
Nan Mo, that bitch, actually dared to come here. She is just a fool. She relies on her looks to seduce people. It seems that the last lesson was not enough. Today I must make her lose face!
Li Man took Nan Mo not to the pavilion, but to a cluster of colorful flowers.
"You don't like the people in the pavilion?"
Suddenly hearing Nan Mo's words, Li Man nodded, "Those few people are fawning on Michelle Chen all day long, they are all Michelle Chen's lackeys."
Then she whispered, "Nan Mo, let me tell you that Michelle Chen is not a good person. She is very good at saying one thing in front of people and another behind their backs, which makes those young masters worship her endlessly. That's why she is regarded as the most beautiful and talented woman by the young masters and ladies in Beijing."
Michelle Chen?
Nan Mo was a little surprised when she heard the name. Lady Liu, the wife of Duke Chen, had just been beheaded by her two days ago. It was really strange that her daughter came to the banquet as if nothing had happened.
Knowing Nan Mo's doubts, Gou Zi sent a message through the space: [Master, Duke Chen concealed Liu's death and only told the people in the mansion that Liu had contracted a disease and was sent to the south to find a miracle doctor for treatment.]
No wonder!
"Qiang..."
Following this voice, Madam Cai stepped forward and said respectfully, "Ladies, today's flower viewing banquet is about to begin. Please move to the Begonia Hall."
At the same time, the male guests, led by Gong Heng, went from the Orchid Garden to the Begonia Hall.
The Begonia Hall is the largest outdoor flower hall in Biluo Manor.
There are two seats not far apart, and you can see the people and scenes in the hall from a distance.
In the past, nobles in the palace would also hold banquets here, with men and women in separate halls, thus avoiding some unnecessary trouble.
now.
Almost everyone in the two halls has arrived, and all kinds of dazzling flowers are placed around the flower hall. Some of them are not from this season, but they still have gorgeous buds.
After everyone was seated, Madam Cai smiled gently and said, "These rare potted plants were all transported from the palace. You can take a closer look, but don't touch them, in case the stamens fall off. Then I will be hard pressed to explain to the palace."
Everyone nodded repeatedly and promised not to touch them and to be careful while enjoying the flowers.
At this time, Bai Jiaojiao hurried over with a few noble ladies who were stranded outside. Everyone was admiring the flowers, so no one paid attention to them.
On the man's side, no one was admiring the flowers. They all stretched their necks to look over here.
They were discussing quietly...
Gong Heng was dressed in a crescent-shaped white brocade robe and holding a folding fan in his hand. He did not look like someone from the secret guard camp at all. He looked like a handsome and elegant gentleman.
He had also heard that Nan Mo had a pretty face, but she was a moron.
He is both talented and beautiful. If Nan Mo was not the daughter of General Nan and had an engagement with Prince You's Palace, how could he be willing to marry her?
Gong Heng came to the middle of the two flower halls, cleared his throat and said a few polite words.
Then came today's highlight. "In order to let everyone have fun, this young master specially went to the palace to ask the emperor and the queen for a reward as a prize for today's poetry and composition."
When they heard this, everyone saw Aunt Jinruo, the female official of Fengyi, coming over with two palace maids carrying trays.
When the cover on the tray was opened, what came into view was a dazzling pearl hairpin and a white jade fan.
It doesn’t matter whether the item is valuable or precious; what matters is the reward from the palace.
Aunt Jinruo glanced at the two flower halls and said slowly, "The emperor and the queen attach great importance to today's banquet. The poems that the young masters and young ladies will compete in will be sealed and handed over by me, Fengyi, to the emperor and the queen to decide the two best ones."
When everyone heard this, not only were their faces filled with surprise, but their brains also started to work rapidly.
It seems that the palace wants to take advantage of this banquet to see how capable the young men and women from each family are. After all, the princes and princesses have reached the age of engagement.
Otherwise, she would not have asked the female official Fengyi to personally deliver the rewards and also use their poems for judging.
Thinking of the young men and ladies at this level, they all tried their best to win the first place in this banquet.
