Chapter 68 Plum Blossom Appreciation

Since she didn't know how to embroider, she cleverly used a piece of embroidered fabric with a branch of plum blossoms in the snow on the front.

I cut several pieces of cloth according to the shape of the disassembled purse and sewed them together crookedly.

It took another half a day to install the rope on the drawstring and then string beads on it to prevent the rope from falling off.

A purse has been barely formed.

She scratched her head, thinking it was a bit shabby, and hung another string on the purse.

If you ignore the crooked stitching, the purse looks pretty good at first glance.

The festive crimson fabric was embroidered with a blooming white plum blossom, and matched with a red and white string. Jiang Li gave herself a full score.

The next day, when she reluctantly gave the purse to Xie Changan, he really liked it and wanted to hang it around his waist immediately.

Jiang Li tried to stop him: "Brother Changan, please don't let anyone see us. If you don't feel ashamed, I will feel ashamed too!"

The workmanship is too crude. Compared with the exquisite purses that Yin Shiyi and the others received, there is simply a world of difference!

If they saw me, I don't know how they would laugh at me.

Xie Changan knew that she was afraid of being laughed at, so he smiled and held the purse close to his body.

He touched her hair tenderly, feeling happy.

"I like it very much. I am waiting for the underwear that the little raccoon slave will make for me."

Jiang Li's face turned red again. How could this person be so unreasonably demanding?

Although the leaflet incident caused a lot of controversy, it did not affect the normal lives of the powerful families in the capital.

It was the time of Minor Snow, and the early plum blossoms were in bloom. Many people had plum trees planted in their courtyards, so various governments held plum blossom viewing banquets.

There is a white plum forest in the Zhenguo Mansion, and the flowers are blooming like snow. It happened that the wife of the Zhenguo Prince and her daughter returned to Beijing, so a plum blossom viewing banquet was held.

On this day, Zhang Wanwan, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, ran excitedly into the room of the Crown Prince's wife.

"Mother!"

The wife of the Crown Prince saw her daughter dressed up, bright and pretty, with a heroic look that only a daughter of a general could have, and said with satisfaction, "Wanwan looks really good today."

Zhang Wanwan asked shyly, "Mother, what kind of person is His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?"

The Crown Prince's wife smiled and said, "I heard from your grandfather that he was born with a handsome face and was a very beautiful young man. What's rare is that he has a very good temper. People outside say that he is as gentle as jade and a modest gentleman."

In a letter home, the Duke of Zhenguo told the Crown Prince that the Queen might intend to marry Zhang Wanwan to Prince Jin, and asked the Crown Prince's wife to bring Zhang Wanwan back to the capital from the border.

When Zhang Wanwan heard her mother say this, her face turned red and she was secretly happy.

The wife of the prince said again: "He is one year younger than you. You are his cousin. You must be tolerant of him and don't be petty."

Zhang Wanwan blushed again: "I know, mother."

The distinguished guests arrived one after another, and Zhang Wanwan followed the Crown Prince's wife to the flower hall to welcome them.

Many noble ladies came today, the most dazzling ones are naturally Cui Jin from Qinghe Cui family and Lu Meiyi from Fanyang Lu family.

Both of them were legitimate daughters of first-class aristocratic families. Cui Jin was pretty and elegant, while Lu Meiyi was naive and innocent. They were both rare beauties, standing out among the other noble ladies like a crane among chickens.

Zhang Wanwan grew up in the border area. She had a lively and cheerful personality and quickly became friends with the other noble ladies.

Cui Jin looked at Zhang Wanwan calmly.

She had asked her brother, and learned that the Prince of Jin had never been interested in women, and had no personal maids to serve him, and she had never heard that he had a favorite woman.

So, did the Queen hint that he should marry a girl from the Zhang family? Was it the Miss Zhang in front of him?

She seems to be innocent and easy to get along with.

But how could a proud person like Cui Jin be willing to be inferior to others?

She believed that a lady of noble birth and careful upbringing like her was more suitable to be the mother of the country.

When she heard that her grandfather would come to the capital in person, she hoped that he could win the trust of King Jin.

At this time, the maid came to report that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin had arrived and asked the Crown Prince's wife and the eldest girl to come to the front hall to pay their respects.

Zhang Wanwan blushed as she followed the Crown Prince's wife to the front hall, where she saw her grandfather and elder brother Zhang Huai talking to a young man dressed as a prince.

Zhang Wanwan followed the Crown Prince's wife to greet the Prince of Jin: "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin."

Nangong Qinghe hurried over to help the Crown Prince's wife: "Aunt, there is no need to be so polite. Today, the nephew is here to recognize his relatives. Aunt, please take a seat."

The Duke of Zhenguo also smiled and said, "Yes, we are family, so just follow the family etiquette. Wanwan, come and meet your cousin."

When Zhang Wanwan looked up, her eyes immediately lit up. What a gentle and handsome young man!

Her face flushed and she said, "Hello, cousin."

Nangong Qinghe didn't look away and replied, "Hello, cousin."

The Duke of Zhenguo laughed and said, "You young people can go and have fun by yourselves. You don't have to accompany an old man like me. Huai'er, Wanwan, you two can accompany His Highness to the courtyard to appreciate the plum blossoms."

"Yes, grandfather."

In the courtyard, white plum trees are blooming on the branches, their petals are like snow, and their fragrance is refreshing.

Young masters and noble ladies from various aristocratic families, dressed in fox furs and gorgeous clothes, strolled in groups of three or five under the white plum trees, chatting and laughing.

In the pavilion in Merlin, exquisite wine vessels and tea sets were placed, and servants were roasting juicy venison nearby.

When you are tired of strolling around, you can eat barbecue and drink fine wine in the pavilion, which is really a pleasant experience.

Cui Jin and Lu Meiyi led a group of ladies and ran into Nangong Qing and three others.

The noble ladies were secretly delighted. Ever since Nangong Qinghe became the Empress's legitimate son, he had suddenly become the most popular man among the noble ladies in Beijing.

This man is about to become the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and the most important thing is that he is still unmarried!

Whoever can grab the position of his principal wife will be the queen in the future!

Even if she can't get the position of the principal wife, she can be a concubine. As long as the Prince of Jin ascends the throne, she will be a noble concubine!

"I have met His Highness King Jin."

"Long live His Royal Highness Prince Jin."

The noble ladies surrounded him and chattered sweetly, their blazing eyes made Nangong Qinghe feel quite embarrassed.

If the King of Qi were here, he would be able to have the best of both worlds and would never want to leave. Apart from being with Jiang Li, when has Nangong Qinghe ever come into contact with so many young and beautiful ladies?

He really couldn't stand it anymore, so he said goodbye quickly: "Cousin Huai, I have something important to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. Please tell my grandfather."

Zhang Huai was speechless and had to send him out.

Zhang Wanwan was also very unhappy. She hadn't even said a few words to her cousin Prince Jin when this group of shameless noble ladies surrounded her. Who didn't know that they were aiming for the position of Crown Princess?

Even those two extremely noble daughters of aristocratic families seemed not to be immune to this!

Cui Jue accompanied Nangong Qinghe to the banquet. He had already entered the Zhanshi Mansion and was aiming to become an official under the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace in the future.

Cui Jue smiled and asked, "Why did your highness come out in such a hurry?"

Nangong Qinghe said very honestly: "I am not used to this kind of occasion. Instead of pretending to be nice to a group of unfamiliar people, I might as well go to the Imperial Hospital to read the medical records."

Cui Jue smiled and said, "Your Highness will get used to it sooner or later."

As the eldest son of an aristocratic family, he knew too well how many things one would have no control over when in a high position.
