Chapter 199 The General’s Wife Who Was Married and Left With Her Son (7)

In the spring, the Shangshu Mansion is full of colorful flowers, the warm sunshine makes people feel warm all over, and the Shangshu Mansion is bustling with people coming and going.

While the Shangshu's wife and the other ladies were admiring the flowers and chatting to the maids playing the zither...

"The eldest princess has arrived!"

Following a shrill voice!

A graceful and elegant woman in bright yellow palace dress walked in. The woman was well maintained and looked to be in her thirties, with fair skin and faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes. Even so, it was clear that the eldest princess must have been a stunning beauty when she was young.

"I've met the eldest princess!"

The Shangshu's wife was a little surprised to see the eldest princess coming uninvited, but she quickly reacted and hurriedly led all the ladies to kneel on the ground to pay their respects to the eldest princess.

It was no wonder that the Shangshu's wife was so surprised by the eldest princess's sudden visit. The eldest princess had not stepped out of the princess's mansion for several years since her husband passed away, and she rarely participated in banquets hosted by other noble ladies in the capital.

After the ladies knelt, He Lian'er stood out from the crowd. Lan Xin, who was sitting next to her, saw this and pulled her to the ground. She lowered her voice and said unhappily, "He Lian'er, if you don't want to die, kneel down right now!"

I don’t know what’s so noble about He Lian’er?

In this world where imperial power is supreme, what qualifications does an orphan like her have to look down on others?

She always claims that she is a modern person and advocates the idea of ​​equality for all, but when facing the people who serve her in the mansion, she only talks about equality for all and paints a big and round pie for them, but in fact, they receive no less service.

However, when facing people of higher status than her, she hopes that others can give her actual equal treatment.

Lan Xin's movements were so quick that the princess didn't notice anything unusual. She sat down directly on the main seat and said calmly to the people kneeling on the ground, "Ladies, please stand up!"

"Thank you, Princess!"

The loud and clear voices of thanks from the crowd echoed in the courtyard!

After thanking the princess, everyone sat down in their original seats.

At this time...

"Is it true that Madam Li and I, by coming here rashly, have not disturbed the Minister's wife?"

The eldest princess took a sip of the tea that the maid had just brought to the table, then looked at the Shangshu's wife in front of her and smiled faintly.

Although Lan Xin was sitting at the back of the banquet, her hearing was extraordinary. When she heard the eldest princess mention Madam Li, Lan Xin couldn't help but look up at the eldest princess sitting in the main seat. Sure enough, she saw a lady in gorgeous green clothes next to her.

I think this is the Madam Li that the eldest princess just mentioned.

Madam Li looked older than the eldest princess. She looked haggard and slightly pale, and seemed to be in poor condition.

When she saw this lady, Lan Xin's expression paused slightly. Through her original body's memory, Lan Xin knew that this lady was the Duke's wife who adopted He Lian'er as her adopted daughter.

Mrs. Li looked unhappy at this time. She must have just come out of the grief of losing her son. As her close friend, the eldest princess brought her to this banquet, probably wanting to take her out to relax.

When the Shangshu's wife heard the princess' words, she immediately smiled. "How could that be? I'm so happy that Your Highness can attend the banquet I'm hosting. How can this be considered a disturbance? I should also thank Your Highness for not blaming me for not sending you an invitation!"

"Well, Madam Lin, you're too polite!"

The princess exchanged pleasantries with the minister's wife, then put down the teacup in her hand and looked at the various colorful flowers blooming in front of her, feeling inexplicably happy.

Seeing that the Shangshu's wife was still standing in front of her, the princess waved her hand casually, "Madam Lin, you can sit down too!"

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness!"

Upon hearing this, the Minister's wife sat down on the other side of the eldest princess.

At this time, a breeze blew by, and the flowers in full bloom in the courtyard swayed gently, which made the eldest princess recall the time when she first met her husband, which was when all the flowers were in full bloom.

Thinking of this, the princess couldn't help but feel a little interested. She turned her head to look at the somewhat reserved Shangshu's wife and said with a smile, "It's rare to have such a beautiful view. Madam Lin, do you have any good ideas for everyone to have fun together?"

The happy love between the eldest princess and her husband was once a legend in the capital. All the rich ladies present knew something about the affair between the eldest princess and her husband.

Naturally, this group included the Shangshu's wife. She knew that the eldest princess and her husband had met at a royal flower-viewing poetry gathering. Upon hearing the eldest princess' question, she immediately responded to her request, "Your Highness, how about we have a poetry competition today?"

The Duke's wife, who was sitting next to the eldest princess, saw her eyes light up slightly after hearing the Shangshu's wife's proposal. She couldn't help but chuckle and nodded in agreement, saying, "Princess, I think Madam Lin's suggestion is a good one. How about everyone present here write a poem?"

"This is good!"

Upon hearing this, the princess couldn't help but clap her hands lightly, her expression delighted. "Let's do something a little more dramatic. The winner of the best poem will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold!"

The Duke's wife nodded and praised: "Well, Princess, this is a good suggestion!"

The princess glanced at the flowers in the courtyard, then turned to the two ladies and said, "Since that's the case, let's each write a poem on the theme of flowers today. If you can't do it, you can drink a glass of wine as a punishment. What do you think?"

The Duke's wife nodded, "Well, I think it's okay!"

The Shangshu's wife also agreed, "I think it's okay too!"

"Okay, let's start now!"

Seeing that the host of the banquet and her good friend had no objection, the eldest princess waved her hand and arranged for someone to notify everyone.

He Lian'er, who was sitting behind Lan Xin, couldn't help getting excited when she knew that the princess wanted everyone to write a poem on the theme of flowers, especially when she knew that the winner of the poem would receive a reward of 100 taels of gold.

She originally thought that this flower viewing party would just be spent eating, drinking and chatting, but she didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise because of the arrival of the eldest princess.

Although she is not very good at writing poems, she can recite poems!

She just didn't believe that the modern classic poems that were famous throughout the ages could not compare to the poems written by these women in seclusion!

For example, she started memorizing the Three Hundred Tang Poems since she was a child. Even though she has forgotten many of them now, isn't it easy to memorize a few to deal with these ancient poems?
