Looking at Princess Lanxiang's back as she left, Concubine Shu turned her head and explained a few words to the nanny beside her, and then smiled and said, "It's almost time, let's go out too."

"Yes." Xu Shan and others stood up and walked out.

Cheng Xin and Delis entered the yard and immediately became the focus of attention.

Of course, the focus is mainly on Delis.

"Who is she? Why have you never seen her before?"

"Have you never heard of it? The eldest prince brought back a noble girl from Shu a few days ago. Now he is using the help of Duke Anguo's mansion. I think this is the one..."

"I heard that she is the sweetheart of the eldest prince. Today, she entered the palace because the eldest prince wanted to give her a legitimate title."

"Wow, really?"

Such conversations came one after another, and soon Delis received many envious and jealous eyes.

Wen Yunxian stood under a laurel tree, looking at Delis who was coming from afar.

In her previous life, she had a few encounters with Delis. At that time, she was either protected by the eldest prince or passed by her in the same carriage with him.

After meeting several times, she was the focus of everyone's eyes as she is now.

At that time, she often wondered why she had always had the opportunity like Delis to appear openly by Chu Chenjin, protected and loved by him...

At that time, she was so jealous and hated that she didn't even know how much she was.

But now, she thinks that a beauty like Delis is like an oasis in the desert, and will like it as an indispensable part of life.

She saw that Delis was not so heavy, and she was very careful to appreciate Delis' every move, every frown and smile.

"Haha, big sister, I didn't expect that the noble girl from Shu would also enter the palace today."

At some point, Wen Huimin came to Wen Yunxian.

Wen Yunxian ignored her and had long been used to Wen Huimin surrounding her all day like an annoying fly.

"Big sister, even if you look indifferent now, I know that you feel so uncomfortable." Wen Huimin walked around in front of Wen Yunxian and raised her mouth: "I have seen your thoughts a long time ago. I saw them that night."

Wen Yunxian then glanced at her: "What did you see?"

Wen Huimin approached her and grinned: "I saw that the eldest prince sent you back, and he was holding your hand. You two—"

She retreated, wanting to speak but stopping, her eyes full of contempt.

Wen Yunxian turned cold: "So what if you see it? If you say it, dad won't punish me."

If it were possible, Wen Huimin would have exposed the matter long ago, or she would have done so long ago. But as the prime minister's father, I'm afraid she would have something to do with the eldest prince. After hearing Wen Huimin's words, he would not punish her, and maybe even praise her.

Wen Huimin narrowed her eyes, and she couldn't see Wen Yunxian's smug look.

As Wen Yunxian said, she went to find Prime Minister Wen that night, but was scolded by Prime Minister Wen, saying that she had nothing to do and slandered her elder sister, and also locked her up in the ancestral hall for a night.

"Don't be proud, I'll see who laughed to the end today!" Wen Huimin smiled sarcastically. She had already received news from the fifth princess, knowing that Delis was the candidate for the eldest prince's concubine selected by Concubine Shu for the eldest prince.

The two of them met in a tit-for-tat way, and Concubine Shu had already come out of the inner room.

"Look, this yard is really full of flowers, and I am so dazzling that I can see it."

These words made noble girls cover their mouths and chuckle.

"Empress Shufei, you are the most beautiful girl, and you are more beautiful than the peony in the yard." Wen Huimin said loudly.

But she didn't expect that her words attracted a cold look from the nanny beside Concubine Shu.

Wen Huimin was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat when she saw it. She just wanted to please Concubine Shu, but forgot that Peony meant the Empress in the palace. If this was spread, someone would definitely say that she was borrowing flowers to belittle the Empress.

Thinking of the deposed prince, maybe someone would say that she blamed the queen for her sister's affairs.

I have to say that at this moment, Wen Huimin felt that her unprecedented inspiration could clearly think of the seriousness of this matter. However, the more she was, the more she was trembling with fear.

Fortunately, Empress Shufei looked faint when she heard this: "What did Princess Huijia say? This peony is the leader of all flowers. Who can compare with it?"

"Yes, the peony is blooming in full bloom now, so where can there be flowers that can surpass it?" Xu Shan said, and came to a pot of flowers and said, "I see the color of Concubine Shu's clothes today, just like this orchid, rich and auspicious, elegant and dignified."

"Princess Shanrou is saying." The noble girls around him agreed.

This matter was exposed and not mentioned. Wen Hui looked at Xu Shan with sensitivity and stepped aside and dared not say anything again.

Wen Yunxian, who was beside her, sneered and walked forward over her.

"I'm so angry!" Wen Huimin snatched the handkerchief in her hand, making her teeth itchy.

...

Cheng Xin and Delis sat quietly under a osmanthus tree, tasting the delicious snacks and fruit wine on the table.

The Empress Shu and the others talked and laughed, and soon brought the topic to the topic today.

"Today's flower viewing banquet, I not only invited all the ladies, but also all the talented men from all over the family. They are in the next yard and will come here later."

There were bursts of exclamations in the yard.

Cheng Xin glanced at them and said that his acting skills were really bad, as if they didn't know why this flower-watching banquet was held today.

A chuckling came from beside him, and Delis whispered: "Your noble ladies in the capital are so interesting."

"You think so, right?"

"Yes, I'm obviously very excited, but I pretend to be reserved. Look at the ladies over there, their faces are red."

Cheng Xin said: "After that being said, I can understand that the rules and etiquette in our capital teaches women to be serious and not to reveal their own thoughts at will."

Delis nodded: "I know, so I'm glad I was born in Shu."

The Empress Shu Concubine, who was in charge, said again: "Don't panic. Today's flower-welfare is a special offer from the Empress Dowager. It is not limited to men and women's defense. You can talk freely later."

The girls cheered together.

Concubine Shu said again: "It's just that the ugly words are ahead. After today, the rules that should be followed must be abide by. Don't lead to any incidents that ignore etiquette. Otherwise, if I know, I will never let go!"

Delis said: "What does Empress Shu mean?"

"This is a warning and a reprimand." Cheng Xin explained: "It means that even if there are people who look at each other today, they must abide by the rules and etiquette and must not do such a sneaky and miserable thing. Otherwise, if you lose face, it has nothing to do with Concubine Shu, and you will be severely punished by her."
