Shen Wanyue was slightly excited when she heard these three words. The so-called Qionglin Banquet was a banquet held for new scholars after the imperial examination.
However, Beichen’s Qionglin Banquet is also called Qionglin Hundred Flowers Banquet.
On the third day after the palace examination, a grand banquet will be held in the palace. The Qionglin Banquet will be held to entertain new scholars, while the harem will invite noble ladies from the capital to hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet.
This is the origin of Qionglin Baihua.
It's just that this Hundred Flowers Banquet is a banquet for the noble ladies of the capital to compete for beauty.
Shen Wanyue had seen the Hundred Flowers Banquet in her previous life. Not only that, she also won the first prize and became the envy of the noble ladies in the capital. At that time, she was in great glory.
And in this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet, she also has to come out on top!
...
General's Mansion.
Although Xiao Chengyi and Wang Zefang were Jinshi in high school, because the General's Mansion was still in Xiaozhong, they only held a family banquet without entertaining guests.
After the family banquet, Mu Yun'an pulled Xiao Chengyi and insisted on sending Wang Zefang back.
Wang Zefang was flattered and felt that his cousin must be up to no good. He was worried and finally arrived at the courtyard where he lived. After inviting the people in, Wang Zefang poured them tea.
Mu Yun'an held the teacup and asked with a smile: "Did cousin send a message to uncle?"
Wang Zefang nodded. He wrote a letter to his family as soon as possible after high school. I believe they will receive it soon.
Mu Yun'an added: "Now that my cousin is ranked second in high school, I think there will be countless people coming to our General's Mansion to propose marriage in the future. Have you ever thought about what kind of girl you want to find?"
Wang Zefang: "..."
He just said that this cousin must have come prepared. He coughed lightly and said seriously: "I'm not in a hurry."
Mu Yun'an pouted and said, "You are already a grown man. It is said that you can cultivate your moral integrity, harmonize your family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. How can you manage the country and bring peace to the world when you have a successful family?"
Wang Zefang's lips twitched and he said in an angry voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
There are so many words going around and around, but there is no key point.
Mu Yun'an didn't go around in circles and said bluntly: "I want to ask you, are you interested in my second sister? You have been in the General's Mansion for many days and you know the second sister quite well. If you had that intention, you would have done it early Prepare to propose marriage and finalize the marriage."
Wang Zefang was stunned for a moment, a little surprised: "Second cousin? Is this your own intention? Or..."
"Of course that's what I meant."
Mu Yun'an glanced at him and said: "I just think you and the second sister are close, and you seem to be compatible, so I want to make peace with you. I don't know what you think?"
Wang Zefang was stunned for a moment by the question. Before that, he had only focused on his homework and only wanted to gain fame, and had never considered marriage. So when Mu Yunan mentioned it, he didn't know how to answer?
While he was silent, Xiao Chengyi on the side was a little annoyed: "If it's intentional, it's intentional. If it's not, then it's not. You, a grown man who keeps grinding and whining, can't you be more relaxed?"
Wang Zefang's face twitched and he felt angry. He snorted and asked uncertainly: "Have you ever asked your second sister, what...she thinks?"
Mu Yun'an smiled and said: "I must ask you first about this kind of thing. If you agree, then I will ask the second sister."
Her second sister is thin-skinned, so she can only hide the fact that her second sister likes him.
Wang Zefang thought for a moment and was about to speak when he heard the butler's voice from outside: "Sir, Miss, the palace has sent someone to deliver the order. It is for the second miss. Your Majesty has decreed that the second miss be given to King Jing as his concubine." Already."
