Chapter 954 The Imperial Minister Is Proper (8)

The day of the flower viewing party.

The entire Crescent Lake is surrounded by peonies, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and butterflies are flying.

There is a large painting boat in the middle of the lake, with light gauze hanging down and the sound of silk and bamboo.

There are boats that are constantly taking people aboard.

"Strange, why is the flower viewing party held on the lake this year?"

"I don't know, but the scenery on the lake should be good. It's the same everywhere. Come on, let's go up."

The two girls took their maids and passed by Shi Sheng. After everyone was about the same, Shi Sheng went up alone.

She didn't take anyone with her because she told Xiaoxuan that she wasn't going and sneaked out of the palace secretly.

Bringing that group of people with her will only hinder her, which is useless.

As for the fourth princess, Shi Sheng had long forgotten about it.

After Shi Sheng went up, she was led to the front position. Some people probably recognized her and bowed their heads in salute.

There were already two people sitting in the front seat, an old man and a charming and beautiful woman.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess." When the old man saw Shi Sheng, he immediately stood up and saluted Shi Sheng. His attitude was calm, not too respectful, but not too perfunctory either.

"Teacher Qi." Shi Sheng nodded slightly. This old man had taught the original master for a while, and except for being a bit nagging, everything else was fine.

"Your Highness came alone?"

"Um."

Master Qi frowned and began to lecture, "How can you come alone? Who will guarantee your safety?"

Shi Sheng is not afraid of boiling water, "Then I will come."

Is it possible to let this baby go back and bring others over?

Taifu Qi was speechless and shook his head slightly, "Your Highness, please."

Mr. Qi is nagging, but not stubborn.

Shi Sheng glanced at the woman who was sitting motionless. This woman had a strong charlatanism about her, and she should be a gangster.

Being invited here, he is probably a well-known figure in the world.

Shi Sheng calmly looked away and sat next to Taifu Qi.

After she sat down, the woman looked towards her without any trace. This eldest princess seemed to be a little different from what she knew.

"Your Highness, why don't you bring someone out?" Taifu Qi didn't stop chattering after sitting down.

Shi Sheng held up her chin and replied, "It's too annoying."

"You are a princess of a country, how can you travel without an entourage." Taifu Qi disagreed.

Shi Sheng glanced at Taifu Qi faintly, "You are also very annoyed."

Taifu Qi: "..."

After being choked by Shi Sheng, Master Qi finally said nothing.

Shi Sheng's arrival so early was obviously beyond the expectations of the organizer, the shopkeeper of Juxian Tower. He rushed over and expressed his 360-degree apology to Shi Sheng and Master Qi.

Shi Sheng thought he was annoying, so he sent him away after a few words.

When the flower-viewing feast was about to begin, Shi Sheng saw that Yan Jinxiu had arrived late. She looked unhappy and worried.

"She's really here."

"Now there's something good to watch."

"I have to teach her a lesson today. How will she meet people in the future? Are you ready?"

The girls who had 'invited' Yan Jinxiu happened to be sitting behind Shi Sheng, and their whispers fell into Shi Sheng's ears without reservation.

Shi Sheng held her chin up and tilted her body slightly, not sitting like a princess at all. It made Mrs. Qi want to educate her.

The woman next door obviously heard what these girls said, and a trace of disdain flashed across her face very quickly.

Shi Sheng's peripheral vision glanced over her body so fast that the woman didn't even notice.

"Thank you all for coming to this year's flower viewing banquet..." The shopkeeper of Juxian Tower stood on the stage prepared in advance and began to speak the opening remarks. His speech was not long.

"Then this year's rules are the same as last year. The eldest princess, Mr. Qi, and the red lady will jointly score. The one with the highest score will be awarded the title of this year's most talented woman."

"Who is she? Why should she be the judge?" Someone questioned the red lady.

None of them have seen this woman.

Forget about the eldest princess and Mr. Qi, everyone basically knows these two people, but how can they accept a strange woman who has never heard of her.

"If Miss Lin has any objection, you don't have to participate." The shopkeeper's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, but also very determined.

Miss Lin's face changed slightly, she stamped her foot and sat back angrily.

Everyone in the capital knew that Juxian Tower had a background. When it first opened, someone made trouble and went to the Yamen. Instead, the Yamen asked the troublemaker to apologize to Juxian Tower.

If you can't afford to offend, smart people will naturally not offend you.

No one raised any questions and the event officially began.

This competition is not for these ladies to show what they are best at, but for them to do both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

In order to save time, three people compete at the same time, leaving one person, and the other two are eliminated. In the end, these remaining people compete again until the winner is selected.

Shi Sheng watched these people's performances with boredom. Anyway, they were just the same, nothing interesting to watch.

The red lady also seemed a little absent-minded, and it was estimated that Mrs. Qi was the only one who was serious.

It wasn't until Yan Jinxiu came on stage that Shi Sheng regained some energy.

Yan Jinxiu had noticed Shi Sheng before. Face to face with her now, Yan Jinxiu felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

The look in her eyes...

It made her very uncomfortable.

There is no sense of superiority in her, but a kind of flamboyant confidence that emanates from her bones, and she is wanton and arrogant.

Different from the previous eldest princess...

Yan Jinxiu looked away, looking cowardly and easy to bully again, lowering her head to lower her sense of presence.

"Start." The shopkeeper made sure that everyone was ready and shouted "Start."

Yan Jinxiu must know these things, but Shi Sheng found that Yan Jinxiu didn't go all out at all, and just dealt with it perfunctorily.

When it came time to give scores, Shi Sheng rarely got a high score.

The shopkeeper looked at the scores of Shi Sheng and Lady Hong and twitched his lips, "Miss Yan wins this round."

Yan Jinxiu, who had her head lowered, suddenly raised her head. Of course she knew what she was doing. How could she still win like this?

Are you kidding me?

Also dissatisfied was the girl next to her. It was Miss Lin who had just questioned the red lady, "How could it be Yan Jinxiu? Did you do it on purpose?"

Miss Lin did not dare to point her finger at Shi Sheng, so she could only question the red lady.

"Although your piano skills are good, they are too empty and emotionless..." The red lady sputtered and pointed out Miss Lin's shortcomings.

From being angry at first, Miss Lin became angry later. She was not as bad as she said. She was deliberately looking for trouble with her.

"I'm not convinced!" Miss Lin looked at Mr. Qi, "Grandpa Qi, please tell me something. She did it on purpose. This is a shady story."

Taifu Qi: "..."

Shi Sheng was looking at him with a smile. He didn't know if it was his imagination. He always felt that if he helped the girl, the eldest princess would tear him to pieces on the spot.

Taifu Qi was not blind. He had lived for most of his life and could not see Yan Jinxiu hiding his clumsiness, so he remained silent in the end.

Although Yan Jinxiu did not show her true strength, it was not considered cheating.
