She was clearly a naive and disgusting idiot, why did so many people like her and pay attention to her?
The more Hua Yufei thought about this, the more she felt that Hua Yuan was not a good person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly learnt so many things without even saying a word to her!
Hua Yufei felt that Hua Yuan was indeed like her mother, Yuan's Qingping. She was a spy!
The smile on her face was very beautiful. She smiled at Hua Yuan and said, ”I wonder where did little sister see a locust flower that can be used to make pastries. What a coincidence that this elder sister doesn't even know.”
”It's in the book.” With so many people here, even if he didn't answer, it wouldn't look good.
”I wonder what kind of book sister is reading?” Her sister also wanted to take a look. She didn't know what kind of author wrote it, but she had such strange thoughts. It's really admirable. ”
It was an excellent thing to spend so much time and effort on such food.
However, Hua Yufei's few sentences had the intention of causing one's thoughts to go astray. What kind of book could it be in front of others? Such ingenious thoughts must have been thought of by the woman in the room. Could it be something from the book of love?
Everyone knew that the ladies of the capital were secretly watching the scene. But the main point was to secretly look at the top.
However, no one was looking at her openly. After hearing what Hua Yufei had said, it was almost the same as shouting at Hua Yuan to look at his words in front of everyone else. Although the effect wasn't too bad, it wasn't too good after all.
Hua Yuan acted as if she didn't understand and said, ”I'm not reading any books. I'm just reading some medical books and some strange flowers and herbs.” He said that there were many flowers and herbs that could be used for medicinal herbs. Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to give it a try. Speaking of which, it's just that I like to play around. However, my mother said that at my age, it's fine even if I want to play a bit. ”
A little girl around ten years old, with a delicate and silly look, said some amusing words. The other wives all laughed kindly at her.
Even the Grand Princess praised him, ”This child has such a clever mind.”
This caused people to be envious.
Du Qiao on the other hand, was smiling very happily, just like how the Grand Princess was praising herself.
The Grand Princess was seated at the head of the table, and she was basically chatting with the madams and madams. After eating tea for a while, someone suggested, ”Since these flowers bloom so well in the princess' mansion, why don't we all write a few lines of poetry to suit the scenes? How about it?”
This sort of thing was unavoidable every time there was a gathering like this.
Furthermore, when a lady from an aristocratic family was in a pavilion, she would always teach Qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting. ”This was a chance to make a name for himself, and no one would refuse it.
Those who prided themselves on their wealth were naturally even more unwilling to let go of this opportunity. And even if the literary talent wasn't that good, no one raised any objections. After all, no one wanted to be described as an idiot who didn't know how to write.
Thus, no matter what everyone present thought, they all showed great interest in this proposal.
However, Hua Yuan opened her mouth and said, ”I'm not really interested?”
”Why?”
”Whether it is composing a poem or writing a poem, it comes down to a feeling in one's heart. How can there be any good poetry when we build it up like this? I don't think it's very interesting anyway. ”
Hua Yuan also thought the same.
No matter what the poem was about, it was always about expressing one's feelings. It was not at all pleasing to be asked to write a poem or anything like that at a banquet.
Du Qiao also felt that Hua Yuan's words were right. ”I think so too. It seems like there is some intention to force the topic.”
With that said, the young lady who had made this suggestion felt a little awkward.
