Chapter 670 Deliberately looking for trouble
When Mrs. Zuo came before the Queen, she naturally did not dare to act as presumptuous as she did with the Third Princess, and quickly put down the petals in her hand.
Jiang Fenghua's eyes were clear and bright, and she laughed happily along with them, "Third sister-in-law and Madam Zuo are both very talented in writing."
"Her Majesty, please sing a song as well." Madam Zuo said with a smile.
Jiang Fenghua pretended to clear his throat and said, "I'll give it a try."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
I saw her smile was as warm as a blooming flower. She walked slowly to a plum tree and said, "Don't praise me for being proud of the snow. In fact, I am also shivering with cold. The north wind is chasing me and biting me. I am most afraid of hearing the snow falling in the middle of the night. I know that I am lonely. The snow has shaped my body, and the ice has carved my bones. It has spread over the barren land. Who has planted the lovesickness on the lonely mountain?"
She recited the words while making gestures in a humorous and witty manner, attracting everyone to stare at her with joy. The Queen also has such a cute and lively side!
Literati have always written poems and lyrics about the purity and tenacity of the plum blossom, praising it. No one has ever pitied it for being alone. It must be very lonely to bloom alone in the wind and snow. It is not as lively as the grand scene of blooming flowers in spring. This is a branch of plum blossom, blooming alone in the snow. This tree is not planted by anyone, but rather it is the Acacia tree that someone planted!
Suddenly, whoever plants the plum tree is the one who plants the Acacia tree. Of course, it is the Acacia tree planted by the emperor!
No one dared to tease the emperor.
The Fourth Princess never smiled from beginning to end. She has always been aloof and arrogant. Thinking of the plum garden that Xie Shang planted when he was a teenager, who is he missing?
She still remembered that Xie Shang had also been to Duke Zhang's mansion. Since then, she often missed him alone. Fate played a trick on her.
Jiang Fenghua stared at everyone's reactions, and finally fixed his gaze on the Fourth Princess Zhang Yurou. She was staring at the plum garden in a trance with affection in her eyes. Jiang Fenghua immediately understood that Zhang Yurou also had feelings for Xie Shang, and perhaps they had even had a secret affair.
Is this plum garden related to Zhang Yurou? She has to test it out.
Xie Shang is really a man who likes to attract women.
Jiang Fenghua added: "I have completed my mission, so please help me, Princess Four! We are all so happy!"
"I don't know how to write doggerel and I'm afraid it will spoil everyone's interest. The Third Princess and Madam Zuo are the best at it, so let them do it!" The Fourth Princess clenched her fists. The Queen was born in a scholarly family, but she didn't expect that her level was not that good.
At this time, Zhang Yumo, accompanied by a palace maid, also arrived at the Plum Garden. When the Fourth Princess saw her, she took the initiative to step forward and said, "Mo'er, why are you here just now?"
"Cousin." Zhang Yumo held Jiang Ruchu's hand and bowed, then said, "Xiaochu pays respects to my cousin aunt..."
Before Zhang Yumo finished speaking, Jiang Ruchu seemed to ignore her mother's words and ran directly to Jiang Fenghua, "Aunt."
Jiang Fenghua picked up Jiang Ruchu and kissed her forehead affectionately, "Xiaochu is here."
"Xiaochu misses his aunt."
"My aunt misses Xiaochu too."
At this time, Zhang Yumo walked up to Jiang Fenghua and bowed, "Yumo pays respects to the Queen, may the Queen be blessed with good health."
Jiang Fenghua held Jiang Ruchu in his arms and helped her up, saying softly, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to be so polite. Are you and Xiaochu the only ones entering the palace together? Where's mother?"
"Mother seems to have something to do, so she may be a little late. Jiang... Jinyan and I entered the palace together. He sent us to the gate of the Imperial Garden and found a palace maid to bring us here." In fact, she had already seen Jiang Fenghua and the princesses standing here, and everyone seemed very happy.
Jiang Fenghua thought to himself: Big brother had a fight with Zhang Yumo, so did he send her here specially?
Zhang Yurou felt embarrassed when she saw Jiang Ruchu saw the difference between her and the Queen. It turned out that people with the surname Jiang really didn't know etiquette.
Zhang Yumo wanted to take her daughter from Jiang Fenghua, but Jiang Ruchu pouted her pink cherry lips and insisted on lying on Jiang Fenghua: "Xiaochu also misses Sister Xi and Brother You."
"My aunt will ask someone to take you to find Xi'er and You'er, okay?"
"Okay!" Jiang Ruchu forgot about her mother because she had someone she wanted to see.
Jiang Fenghua said to Nanny Wang again: "Take Xiaochu to Kunning Palace to play with the girls!"
Because Jiang Ruchu didn't greet Zhang Yurou, her face suddenly became a little ugly.
After Nanny Wang took Jiang Ruchu away, Jiang Fenghua said, "Sister-in-law is here, come and visit the garden and enjoy the flowers with us!" She wanted to find out why Zhang Yumo had quarreled with Jiang Jinyan. She and the Fourth Princess were cousins and seemed to have a good relationship.
Zhang Yumo was gentle, not lively, and didn't talk much. She saw the group of gossipers who were with the Fourth Princess that day still pointing fingers at her, and even though their voices were not loud, she could guess that they were talking about her and Jiang Jinyan.
Jiang Fenghua also heard some gossip, but she didn't understand what was going on. What gossip was going on outside the palace, she said calmly: "Let's continue our Plum Blossom Game!"
A pink-dressed lady said, "Speaking of talented women, the wife of Marquis Wu'an is the real talented woman. When she was studying at the Imperial College, Zhang Yumo was often praised by the Grand Tutor, who said that she not only had good calligraphy, but also good poetry. Why don't you compose an impromptu poem for us all to liven up the atmosphere?"
Zhang Yumo stared at the woman who was speaking. Her name was Shu Xue. When she was studying at the Imperial College, she was obsessed with Jiang Jinyan. It was not until that day at Zhang's house that she learned that Shu Xue was married to Li Cheng.
In both her previous life and this life, Li Cheng was engaged to Zhang Yumo, but in this life, she ended up marrying Jiang Jinyan. Shu Xue also likes Jiang Jinyan, no wonder she is so annoying with her mouth.
Shu Xue's cousin Shu Yan married into the palace and became a queen. When she came over there just now, she saw Shu Yan in the plum garden.
Seeing that Zhang Yumo didn't respond, Shu Xue said, "Did Miss Zhang's brain get damaged by the explosion and she can't write poetry anymore?"
Zhang Yumo said coldly: "If Madam Li can recognize the words I write, I will read the poem to you, but I seem to remember that Master Li can't even recognize a few words. Can you understand the poem?"
Shu Xue was very angry. She brought up something that happened so many years ago. The young ladies from the noble families who played with her seemed to remember the embarrassing things she did back then and laughed at her in a low voice, "The man Shu Xue married was the son of Minister Li, and Zhang Yumo had broken off the engagement with him. She herself can't read, but now she dares to ask him to write a poem. Who gave her the courage?"
"In fact, she was jealous that Zhang Yumo married Jiang Jinyan. She also liked Jiang Jinyan at the beginning."
Shu Xue said angrily: "Zhang Yumo, who are you talking about who can't read? Don't humiliate me. It's all a matter from childhood. Why are you still harping on it? Humph! Do you think you are a talented woman just because you married the most talented man? Jiang Jinyan doesn't only like you. Sooner or later, you will be abandoned by him..."
The Fourth Princess suddenly stepped forward to stop Shu Xue and whispered, "Madam Li, please don't be so outspoken. In front of the Queen, please say less! Lord Jiang didn't provoke you, why are you saying these things? You've broken someone else's window paper. Be careful that you get yourself into trouble. Then this Princess won't be able to save you."
Shu Xue glared at Zhang Yumo unconvinced and kept silent. Zhang Yumo herself saw what happened that day, so why was she pretending?
The Fourth Princess became a peacemaker again, "Moer, don't be angry with Madam Li. She is ignorant, and are you also ignorant? Let's be more generous and give in."
Zhang Yumo avoided the Fourth Princess's pull and said, "I'm not angry with anyone."
What Shu Xue said was true. Jiang Jinyan didn't just like her, but he liked someone else. She knew herself well, and the reason she was able to enter the palace with him today was because Jiang Jinyan said that she was still the wife of Marquis Wu'an.
