After a show of popularity, Cheng Xin returned to his seat with satisfaction.

Delis looked at Cheng Xin in surprise: "Although you danced a little stiffly, your song is so good. Can you teach me another day?"

Cheng Xin glanced at her. She was indeed professional and could easily see her flaws. She had such unique effects just now, because this song and this song were too amazing.

"Okay." Cheng Xin nodded.

"I thought I could see you make a fool of myself, but I didn't expect that one would be more amazing than the other. Our Tianchu really thinks that there are many talents." Concubine Shu smiled.

"Empress Shu, it is your credit to see the young master dancing. If it weren't for this flower-watching banquet, how could we have opened our eyes so much!" The fourth prince just saw Qin Shu dancing with Cheng Xin and stood up excitedly.

Concubine Shu said: "Since that's the case, let's continue. The eldest prince, it's better for you to draw one next."

Even though she was happy, she did not forget the purpose of holding a flower-watching banquet today.

She glanced at Xu Shan at the next head, and this girl should not let her make up for her painstaking arrangements today.

The palace maid held the box and came to Chu Chenjin. He reached in and pulled out a piece of paper to open it.

The palace maid sang: "The eldest prince is smoking a lotus flower."

Concubine Shu smiled immediately and looked at Xu Shan. Xu Shan immediately stood up: "I wrote the hibiscus flower."

Chu Chenjin paused slightly and then sat down.

The scene was quiet and no one stood up again.

Xu Shan was surprised, how could there be no one?

She initially wrote about orchids, but later the nanny next to Concubine Shu secretly told her, and she wrote about the hibiscus flower. If there was no one present, why did Concubine Shu make such arrangements?

Concubine Shu had some ideas: "This hibiscus is the most common. I believe that more than Princess Shanrou should be present, she wrote it."

A palace maid came to Shufei and whispered a few words to her.

Concubine Shu said: "I have asked someone to count it."

Hearing this, Wen Yunxian stood up: "There are still ministers."

Seeing Wen Yunxian get up, Chu Chenjin also stood up.

Delis pulled Cheng Xin's sleeve: "What kind of flower is the hibiscus flower? Is it the flower unique to your capital?"

Cheng Xin glanced at her: "We mean lotus water, lotus flowers."

"Hey, then I wrote lotus flowers, does it count?"

"Originally."

Cheng Xin’s purpose is to give Wen Yunxian and the eldest prince a legitimate exchange. Who would have thought of having one more Xu Shan? Since that’s the case, what’s the point of having one more Delis?

Delis got up and said, “So too.”

"Okay. Prince, which lady do you think you wrote it?" Shufei asked.

Chu Chenjin did not open the paper again, and his eyes were fixed on Wen Yunxian.

Concubine Shu said: "Since the eldest prince is confident, why not let me wait and see the words on it first, how about it?"

Chu Chenjin's eyes were slightly dark, but he did not stop him.

Soon, the paper was passed from the hands of Concubine Shu to everyone's hands.

"This word is really good." Everyone who has read it was very approving.

Delis curled her lips to Cheng Xin and sat down silently.

Cheng Xin laughed. She saw that Delis was not even holding the brush in a standard way. She thought she knew it herself, and that was not what she wrote.

Chu Chenjin said: "This word should have been written by Princess Shanrou."

Concubine Shu exclaimed: "I heard that Princess Shanrou had studied at Yunshan Academy, and her father was also a famous calligraphy master in Hanlin Academy. Even the empress dowager and her old man praised her for her good handwriting, so she asked her to go with her to pray for the emperor.

The eldest prince, everyone says to marry a wife and a virtuous person, and now you are not young. I will tell the emperor that I will betrothed Princess Shanrou to you, how about it?"

Most of the people present knew the purpose of this flower-watching banquet. But unexpectedly, Concubine Shu had already chosen the person and was waiting for the eldest prince to jump into it.

Wen Yunxian's back was straight, with no expression on her face, but the hand beside her was tightly clenched into a fist.

The moment ago, she was still happy that Chu Chenjin and Delis were not so intimate, but unexpectedly, God joked about her again.

Xu Shan?

In her previous life, she obviously married Zhou Yutao, the commander of the Imperial Guards. Why would Concubine Shu want to betroth her to Chu Chenjin now?

Wen Yunxian looked at Chu Chenjin with breath.

Chu Chenjin leaned over and bowed: "Thank you for your concern. But I already have someone I want."

Concubine Shu's face froze: "Oh? Why hasn't I ever heard you say it?"

Chu Chenjin said: "It's not too late to say it now."

"That's true." Concubine Shu smiled unnaturally: "I wonder which lady present was fortunate to be attracted by the eldest prince?"

Chu Chenjin smiled and said, "This is my business, so I won't worry about the Empress. Since Concubine Shu likes Princess Shanrou so much, you might as well betroth her to her second brother..."

"The emperor brother and my mother talked very well, why did they get involved with me?" Chu Xiaohan said.

Xu Shan sat down with a pale face. It was as expected that the eldest prince would reject it, but she did not expect that even the second prince would say so now.

She is despised again and again, and I am afraid that after today, Xu Shan will become a laughing stock in the entire capital.

Xu Shan felt sad, and a tear fell down the corners of her eyes.

Chu Xiaohan came to the center of the venue and said, "Mother, since you mentioned this matter, you might as well ask my father for a marriage."

"Han'er, don't mess around. The mother's mother has its own arrangements for your marriage." Concubine Shu shook her head. She also had to conduct a good investigation to choose the most suitable princess for her son.

Chu Xiaohan smiled and said, "Mother, you are favoring one and the other."

"Han'er, this is why you are ignorant. If you have a mother who takes care of this for you, why bother to worry? But your emperor is different... Your father is busy with everything and neglects your emperor's marriage. The mother is also regarded as seeing him grow up, so naturally he should consider it more for him."

Concubine Shu got up and walked down, came to Chu Chenjin, took his hand and patted him: "Big Prince, if you like a girl from any family, you might as well tell me. I can tell the emperor about this and let him make the decision for you."

Chu Chenjin still had a cold face: "My mother will take care of this matter for me."

Seeing that the eldest prince brought the empress out, Concubine Shu's face was slightly stiff, so she could continue asking. After all, the empress was the leader of the six palaces, and she was responsible for all the prince and princess' marriages.

This time, it is not easy for her to receive the grace of the Queen Mother. If the eldest prince makes the matter aside, it will definitely not be of any benefit to her.

Concubine Shu nodded: "Since that's the case, I will follow you. But now you are not young, so you must take this matter to heart."
