Dominate the ancient academy

Those who didn't notice saw that Yang Yuanyi was the only one left here, and he took a few glances and left. There were so many people at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, if there was excitement they would watch it, if there was no excitement they would just enjoy the scenery, anyway, today would not be boring.

As for the commotion just now, they would not get to the bottom of it. After all, they were from aristocratic families and they all used their brains before going out.

When the Fifth Princess, Shu Xiaoxiao and Yun Qinghan arrived, they saw Yang Yuanyi and the people passing by, and most of the people had already dispersed.

Shu Xiaoxiao was still thinking that someone must have seen what happened just now, but she didn't expect that the people here were of high quality and knew how to protect a woman's reputation.

In fact, none of these people want to be the first to stick out. If things get out of hand, they can still watch the fun, but it is clear that the problem has been resolved. If they step forward to cause trouble, aren't they making enemies for themselves?

All officials in the court are closely related to each other. Who knows if you will need help from them one day? So it is better to have less trouble than more.

Only Yang Yuanyi was still regretting that he seemed to have messed up his marriage. It was not convenient for him to tell his mother now, so he could only try his best to find a girl with a family background similar to or better than Li Yuner before the end of the banquet, so that he could explain to his mother.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuanyi no longer had time to be dazed and hurriedly looked around.

The Fifth Princess didn't want to come here in the first place, but when she saw that there were no people here, she immediately said, "The scenery here is pleasant and lively. Little Junior Brother, go and have fun. Cousin Yun and I have something to discuss."

Shu Xiaoxiao: "This..."

Fifth Princess, don't you know that men can only affect the speed at which women draw their swords? Besides, do you really have to hang on to Senior Brother Yun's crooked neck tree?

No, Senior Brother Yun, this is not a crooked tree, at least it is a paulownia tree. But your relationship as cousins ​​is such that being together will affect the next generation, so you really cannot be together.

And Senior Brother Yun, now that the princess has spoken, there is nothing I can do. If someone with her status really goes against the princess, she will definitely be the one who suffers!

Seeing that the Fifth Princess was so persistent, Yun Qinghan could only say, "I have nothing to say to the Fifth Princess, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he started to walk away, and Shu Xiaoxiao followed immediately. Shu Xiaoxiao had to give face to the Fifth Princess, but Yun Qinghan had no problem.

The Fifth Princess stamped her feet in anger as she watched Yun Qinghan departing, but did not chase after him. She knew that Cousin Yun was not easy to get along with. It was fine before, but now it was getting harder and harder. Her mother wanted her to marry Cousin Yun, but her father was unwilling to grant the marriage, and Cousin Yun was also unwilling. How could she force him to marry her?

As for those despicable means, she is a princess. Does she have to use any means to get married? What has she become? It's not like she can't get married. She can use some means to make her life better, but she will not use means in marriage.

She was disdainful. The marriage she wanted, if not a sweet one, at least one that required mutual consent. It was not like she, the Princess Daning, could not get married. It was just that it was difficult to explain to her mother. However, she could not pester a man endlessly, so she would just put it off with her mother for now!

"Brother Yun, can't you solve this problem yourself? Why are you letting me mess things up? What if the Fifth Princess holds a grudge against me?"

That was the right thing to do just now. It was so clean and efficient to solve one's own problems by oneself. It was much better than her racking her brains to find a solution.

"I won't bear a grudge against you. I've accompanied you to the garden. Isn't it normal for you to help me?" He liked to see his junior brother scratching his head.

Even though the emperor required him to come, there were not many people who dared to use tricks on him. The emperor asked him to visit the garden this time because he wanted him to see more and make his own choice.

"Shouldn't I accompany you?" Shu Xiaoxiao looked aggrieved. She and Su Shiche had agreed to go and see the melons, but now she could only go around the garden with Senior Brother Yun.

"It doesn't matter who accompanies whom. We haven't visited that place yet. Let's go and take a look over there. Today, Senior Brother will accompany you to visit the garden. This is an honor that no one else has."

Yun Qinghan rubbed Shu Xiaoxiao's head and said with a smile, "You know what, this little head feels pretty good."

As a result, he was stopped before he could even leave.

"Prince Yun, Princess Cheng said that the talent show of the young ladies from each family is about to begin. Please go back and watch." A pretty maid came over and reported in a low voice.

Princess Cheng did not expect that the Emperor was so concerned about the Crown Prince's actions. In previous years, these talent shows were very popular among the young men and women, and would even become an important reference for the ladies to choose their wives, so few people would miss them.

Those who are not interested are usually married or do not want to get married in the short term, such as the prince in front of her. The emperor requires that the prince must be present when the young ladies of each family perform their talents, so she can only notify him.

As soon as Yun Qinghan heard it, he knew that this must be the emperor's order. He sighed and could only return to his seat.

Women and men were on both sides, and the middle was where the performances were. The performances on the stage were voluntary, but most people would not give up the opportunity to show themselves. Not only women but also many men went on stage to play the flute and dance with swords.

After all, attraction is a two-way process. If you want others to value you, you must also show your strengths. Maybe when you perform your talents, a girl or a boy will fall in love with you.

There is only one opportunity to perform on stage at the Hundred Flowers Banquet every year. The usual banquets are mostly gatherings of acquaintances, so most men and women will go on stage to perform for such a rare opportunity.

Even Yun Qinghan had danced with a sword before, but now he had no interest in even attending the Hundred Flowers Banquet, let alone going on stage.

Having said that, they just need to sit in their seats and watch.

When Li Yun'er came back, she had already told her mother about what happened. Madam Li's face suddenly turned dark, and she almost went to find Yang Yuanyi to settle the score. She didn't expect that the Yang family looked okay, but was so unrefined in their actions.

Looking at her daughter's angry expression, she comforted her, "You did a good job. Fortunately, we knew about it in advance. We didn't let anyone know about our relationship with the Yang family. We should just ignore them and stay away from them in the future."

It's not worth it to ruin the jade bottle because of a mouse. Even if the Yang family is gone, there are still the Wang family and the Zhao family. It's not like my daughter can't find a good family.

Then he looked at the concubine and said, "If you keep doing these shameless things, your aunt will be responsible for your marriage. I will not interfere anymore, and you don't have to follow me out anymore, because I can't afford to lose face as a person."

This time, the concubine's daughter did a good thing, otherwise it would be too late for Yun'er to find out after the marriage. But this concubine's daughter had no good intentions to begin with, so she should be punished. Otherwise, people would think she was such a kind person that she dared to mess up her daughter's marriage. They would really think she was made of clay.

"Yes, mother, I...I won't dare to do it again."

Li Shuang'er immediately became scared. To put it nicely, she was an aunt, but when she was not in favor, she was not even as good as the servants in the mansion. Now she wanted her aunt to be responsible for her marriage and find her a servant?

Her marriage is still in the hands of her stepmother. Even if she wants to find one herself, she must first be willing to take her out. Otherwise, no matter how many ideas she has, it will be of no avail.

The eldest sister has always been easy to talk to, but she was unexpectedly so tough this time. She couldn't do anything here anymore. She was unwilling to wait for her eldest sister's mother to marry her to those minor officials. She didn't want to be suppressed by others all the time. She wanted to be superior.

This Hundred Flowers Banquet is an opportunity. She must find someone with a better family background than her eldest sister, so that her status will be higher. If she can marry one of the princes or sons of the crown prince, she will be a concubine, and her eldest sister and mother will have to bow down to her.
