The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

Ling Bai pulled Song Chengyi and his sister into the pavilion. The crowd surrounded the red plum blossoms painted by Xiao Noning and praised them repeatedly. The young masters present were generous with their words of praise.

The other women looked disdainful...

Xiao Noning just smiled faintly, without much expression, which made the young masters present feel even more favorable towards her.

Xiao Noning has a beautiful appearance, but she exudes a unique cold temperament. There is no worldly desire in her eyes, and she has a faint sense of alienation that keeps people at a distance.

With such contradictory looks coupled with her many talents, it is hard for any man not to be attracted to her.

"This painting of red plum blossoms in the snow by Miss Xiao Er is so beautiful..."

"I didn't expect that Miss Xiao Er is not only beautiful, but this painting is even more beautiful..."

"Miss Xiao is indeed as beautiful as her painting, cold and proud..."

"Ms. Xiao Er is not only good at poetry, but her paintings are even better..."

"Hey! I heard that Miss Xiao Er plays the guzheng very well! I wonder if we can have the honor to listen to her!"

Song Qianning couldn't help rolling her eyes as she watched these men flatter her.

[Tsk tsk… These men are clearly drooling over beauties. Their eyes almost pop out when they see beautiful women, yet they have to pretend to be elegant scholars. It’s clearly just a picture of plum blossoms, but they praise it so much that I almost think I’ve seen a miracle…]

Song Chengzhou highly agreed with his third sister's complaints. He also felt that it was just an ordinary plum blossom painting. He thought that these people were praising it so much that he thought he was a vulgar person who didn't know how to appreciate it.

As soon as Murong Jingchu walked over, everyone gathered around him and saluted respectfully.

As a result, as soon as Murong Jingchu approached the pavilion, Song Qianning and others followed Ling Bai.

Although Murong Jingchu was responding to the compliments from the people around him, his eyes were always following Song Qianning.

Ling Bai brought the four brothers and sisters of the Song family to his second sister's house. Ling Bai pulled the third sister over and said, "Third sister, let me introduce you to the three sisters of the Song family..."

Ling Yanran is the legitimate daughter of the Ling family, and the only girl who is still waiting to be married, as the other two sisters are already married. Ling Yanran is a typical lady from a noble family, with a gentle and generous temperament. This year, the matchmakers who are looking for marriages are almost knocking down the door of the Ling family.

But Ling Yanran never gave in. Although Minister Ling was angry, Old Madam Ling doted on Ling Yanran the most. With Old Madam Ling protecting her, it was useless for Minister Ling to be angry.

Ling Yanran showed a standard smile and bowed politely: "Hello, sisters, I am Ling Yanran."

Song Qianning's eyes suddenly lit up, Oh my god! !

[Oh my god!! Isn't this my future sister-in-law!! Oh! Oh! I remembered, today is the moment when my future sister-in-law and my brother fell in love at first sight, oops! I'm such a pig-brained person, how could I forget this. Because the two fell in love at first sight, my brother hesitated for a long time before begging his father and mother to come to the house to propose marriage. It happened that my sister-in-law also liked my brother, and Minister Ling was also satisfied with this son-in-law, so they decided on it directly. At that time, Xiao Tiance, the second son of the Huai Palace, also liked my future sister-in-law, and when he was about to propose marriage, he found that someone had taken the lead. He still held a grudge and even tried to ruin the reputation of my future sister-in-law and asked her to marry him, but he didn't succeed, so he hated my brother very much. . ]

Song Qianning immediately said in a flattering manner: "Hello, Sister Ling, I am Song Qianning, the third daughter of the Song family. You can call me Qianqian or Ning'er..."

When Song Qianxue heard her third sister say that this was her future sister-in-law, and then she saw that she was beautiful and gentle, she liked her very much.

"Hello, Sister Ling. I am Song Qianxue, the eldest daughter of the Song family. You can also call me Xue'er."

When Song Qianyu saw the two of them getting close, she followed suit and quickly said, "Hello, Sister Ling. I am Song Qianyu, the second daughter of the Song family. You can also call me Yu'er."

When Song Chengyi heard that this was his elder brother's sweetheart and future sister-in-law, he immediately showed his affection: "Hello, Sister Ling! I am Song Chengyi..."

Before Song Chengyi finished speaking, Ling Bai slapped him on the back of his head. Ling Bai said angrily: "Song Chengyi, did you take the wrong medicine? Why are you imitating your sisters? Besides, it's not like my third sister doesn't know you?"

Song Chengyi finally realized that he often went to Ling Mansion to look for Ling Bai and had met Ling Bai's third sister. He laughed awkwardly and said, "I just wanted to adjust the atmosphere..."

Ling Bai looked at him with an idiotic expression, and Ling Yanran was amused by these two funny guys.

[Wow!! A gentle beauty's smile is different. No wonder so many noble families came to propose marriage. At that time, Xiao Tiance was just a son of the Huai Palace. Now he has taken over Xiao Tianyi's position and become the prince. If he proposes marriage before my brother, and if Minister Ling is greedy for the power of the Huai Palace and agrees, then my brother will cry in the toilet? ? After all, everything has its twists and turns. For example, Xiao Tianyi, the assassination is bullshit. If I guess correctly, he should have died of syphilis. ]

When Song Chengyi heard what his third sister said, he also became nervous. It seemed that he would have to help urge his father and mother to come to propose marriage, so as to avoid being beaten to it by someone else.

The two people who heard these words not far away had completely different reactions. Song Chengzhou was happy that his elder brother was finally going to have a lover. Since he was a child, his elder brother had been obsessed with arranging troops and fighting enemies in the battlefield, and until now he had not put any thoughts into it. His mother had been worried a lot in the past two years. With his emotionally dull personality, which girl would be willing to marry him?

This time, mother and grandmother don’t have to worry about my eldest brother’s lifelong affairs, but it is indeed necessary to arrange a marriage as soon as possible.

Murong Jingchu never expected that the former prince of Huai Palace would die like this.

When Ling Yanran heard her brother asking her to take the three sisters of the Song family to make some friends, she smiled and nodded, saying: "I just happened to be going to see Princess Yongning, so the three sisters come with me!"

Princess Yongning Murong Xin is the legitimate daughter of the Liang Wang Mansion. The Liang Wang Consort only has one son and one daughter. Murong Xin and Ling Yanran are good friends, and the two have a pretty good relationship.

There is a pavilion on both sides of the back garden of Prince Liang's Mansion. Those who recite poems and paint are in the pavilion on the left, while those who play the piano and play music are in the pavilion on the right. In addition to Princess Yongning Murong Xin and Princess Changle Xiao Jiayi, most of the noble ladies from aristocratic families are in the pavilion on the right.

The other three who had accompanied Princess Changle in Zuimeng Tower last time were Lin Qingge, the second legitimate daughter of the Minister of Works, Liu Yujiao, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War, and Si Yao, the legitimate daughter of the Earl's Mansion.

Ling Yanran was going to another pavilion, which was where a group of two princesses were. Song Qianning actually didn't like to join in this kind of fun, but since her future sister-in-law had asked, she couldn't refuse and just regarded it as a way to enhance their relationship.

Ling Yanran led the three of them to a group of noble ladies. Princess Yongning happily stepped forward to greet her when she saw Ling Yanran. Seeing the three unfamiliar women beside her friend, she looked at Ling Yanran with some confusion.

Ling Yanran smiled and said, "Xin'er, these are the three girls from the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. They don't usually attend these gatherings, so you don't know them."

Song Qianning and the other two hurriedly saluted to Princess Yongning. Princess Yongning did not make things difficult for them because they were brought here by Yanran. She just smiled and told them to be casual and have fun. The three of them thanked her politely.

While they were talking, applause broke out from all around. It turned out that Princess Changle had just finished playing the zither. A burst of praise broke out from the audience.

Lin Qingge began to play the piano as usual: "Princess Changle, your piano skills are becoming more and more sophisticated."

Si Yao followed closely behind: "The princess's moves are truly extraordinary. We who are not as skilled as her are ashamed of ourselves!"

Liu Yujiao even praised it to a new level: "Princess, your superb level would impress even Han Xun."

The other noble ladies also followed suit and praised. Princess Changle was very satisfied. She also felt that her piano skills were definitely heavenly music. Han Xun was blind and chose an ugly guy. If it weren't for his good looks, she would have cut him into pieces based on what he did at the time.

Princess Yongning and Ling Yanran smiled at each other. They had become accustomed to Princess Changle's tendency to seek the limelight. It had nothing to do with them, so usually when they met, they would just smile and say nothing.

At this time, someone shouted that the prince was coming, and the crowd was in an uproar. It turned out that the prince, Prince Zhaoyang, the third prince, the fifth prince, and the new prince of Huai Wang's Mansion appeared together.

The Song family brothers and sisters were alarmed. Their eldest brother was nowhere to be seen, but Xiao Tiance, the prince of the Xiao family, had already appeared. They must not let him see their future sister-in-law! ! ! !
