Shanggong Bureau. When Qi Yuning entered the Shangfu Bureau, Chu Chi was sewing a purple man's robe. "Chuchi." When Chu Chi heard Qi Yuning's voice, he stood up and saluted: "Princess, why are you here?" Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "Do you still remember watching the Flower Festival Parade with me a few years ago? I promised you that I would let you dress up as the Peony Fairy, but this year it's your turn. Remember to get up early tomorrow morning and dress up as the Peony Goddess." Chu Chi smiled lightly and said, "Thank you, Princess. I didn't expect that Princess would still remember what I said when I was young." Qi Yuning looked at the clothes Chu Chi had made and said, "I heard that you are now in charge of the Shangfu Bureau. Why do you need to sew the clothes yourself?" Chu Chi said: "These are His Majesty's clothes. Your Majesty is very picky about the stitching of your clothes..." Chu Chi realized that he was speaking ill of His Majesty in front of Qi Yuning, so he covered his mouth again, looked at Qi Yuning, lowered his head and said, "Princess Princess." Qi Yuning smiled lightly again and said: "Work well in the Shang Palace Bureau. After His Majesty's wedding, you will assist the Queen for two years. When the Queen takes over the harem, I will choose a good marriage for you."
Chu Chi responded: "Thank you very much, Princess." She knew that the good marriage proposed by the princess must be excellent. Now that she was seventeen, if she had not entered the palace, she might have already arranged the marriage. Maybe, like her mother, she would marry a steward in a village and have a child as soon as she was born. …… The second day of February is the Flower Festival in Shengjing. The girls dressed as the Goddess of Flowers got up early and went to the Flower Temple to dress up and put on the clothes of the Goddess of Flowers. Chuchi is the peony goddess, the leader of all flowers. Her arrival aroused frequent glances from the girls present. The families of the girls who can play the role of Flower Goddess in Shengjing City are all rich or noble, and some of them are daughters from high official families. Hua Xiangrong, the youngest daughter of the official minister, has just turned fourteen this year. She thought she was bound to win the peony flower god. Later, she heard that there was another peony flower god. She had never seen her before. Today she saw Chu Chi and smiled lightly. He exclaimed: "This sister is so beautiful. No wonder she can be called the Peony Goddess. I wonder what I call my sister?" Chu Chi was used to being respectful in the palace, so he said softly: "My name is Chu Chi." "Your surname is Chu too?" After Hua Xiangrong finished speaking, he stayed away from Chu Chi. Chu Chi ignored Hua Xiangrong and looked at the bronze mirror as the dressing lady arranged her hair and put on fresh peonies. "Are there any fresh peonies at this time?" Chu Chi said in surprise, "I thought there would be no peonies at this time." It's only the second day of February, and it will take another month for peonies to bloom. The dressing lady smiled lightly and said: "These peonies are kept in the greenhouse. A lot of charcoal fire was used to make these peonies. The old eunuch who managed the flowers and trees in the palace spent decades studying hard to get the flower on February 2. The peonies that can bloom are not available at this time every year, so the girl is lucky." Chu Chi looked at herself in the bronze mirror wearing a large and graceful peony. Surprisingly, so many peonies could not cover her appearance, and Chu Chi did not dare to look at herself. The Flower Goddess Parade began, and Chu Chi led the girls dressed as Baihua out, walking all the way around the inner city of Shengjing. In the princess's mansion, Lingling anxiously combed her buns into two buns, and took Zhao Jie's hand without breakfast, "Little uncle, go out quickly, don't look down on Baihua Youshen later."
Zhao Jie smiled slightly and said, "Who asked you to get up so late?" Lingling stuck out her tongue, "I haven't seen the nanny this morning. Hongdou Mungdou and the others didn't dare to wake me up. It's already too late. Let's go quickly." Qi Yuning had already arrived with Zhixiu, who was waiting for You Huashen's team outside. Lingling saw Qi Yuning and said, "Mother, why are you here to see the Flower Goddess parade today?" Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "Today, your sister Chuchi is pretending to be the Peony Goddess. I came here specially to have a look." Lingling saw Ye Li next to Qi Yuning. She stood on tiptoes and looked into the distance. She heard the sound of firecrackers, the sound of silk and bamboo ritual music, and the lively sounds of a group of children. This slowly coming It's a float. Then the flower gods came, led by Chu Chi, who was wearing a wide-sleeved gown embroidered with large peonies. Looking at him, he really looked like a peony fairy descending to earth. Lu Yiling looked at Chu Chi who was coming, waved and blew a whistle, "Sister Chu Chi is so beautiful!" When Chu Chi heard the whistle, he looked at Lingling, walked to Lingling and gave a sachet to Lingling. The flower god also meant to bring blessings when he walked through the streets, so he would prepare some sachets and give them to the children on the road. Lingling took the sachet and smiled at Chu Chi: "Sister Chu Chi, you are so beautiful today. Look at my uncle, he can't take his eyes away from you!" Only then did Chu Chi see Lingling with His Majesty beside him, and he even knelt down to salute. Zhao Jie coughed lightly and said, "You don't have to be polite outside the palace." Chu Chi handed another sachet to Lu Zhixiu, who was in Qi Yuning's arms, but Xiao Zhixiu didn't like it and didn't take it. He frowned slightly and turned away from taking the sachet. Qi Yuning helped Zhixiu take it and asked, "Don't you like it?" Xiao Zhixiu spit out four words, "Girl's stuff." Qi Yuning: "..." Qi Yuning smiled, and Lingling took it from Qi Yuning's hand, "Brother, don't give it to me. This sachet is so fragrant, as fragrant as Sister Chu Chi." Chu Chi left with a smile, and Zhao Jie withdrew his gaze and looked at the sachet in Lingling's hand. Lingling gave one to Zhao Jie and said, "Hey, little uncle, this is for you." Zhao Jie took over and said, "Okay, let's go play on the street." Lingling waved to Qi Yuning and followed Zhao Jie to the street. Lingling didn't have breakfast, so she went to have a meal in Qingshan Building. Looking down from the private room facing the street on the second floor of Qingshan Building, she could see See clearly the flower goddess walking in the street. Zhao Jie had already had breakfast. He looked down from the window and happened to see the smiling Chu Chi at the head of the team. There was also a vague fragrance coming from the sachet around his waist. He stared at Chu Chi closely, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Lingling looked at Zhao Jie from the side and said, "Uncle, why is your face so red?" "It's okay." Zhao Jie coughed, "It's not red." Lu Yiling's peach blossom eyes rolled, and she chuckled: "I understand, my uncle wants to find an aunt for Lingling, and dad hopes that uncle can find an aunt, so that dad can feel more relaxed." Zhao Jie touched the sachet on his waist and said to Lingling: "Are you full? Let's go play when you are full." Lingling nodded and said: "After I'm full, I'm going to Zheng Guogong's Mansion to find Sister Xiuxiu and Sister Huihui. We made an appointment to play together today." Zhao Jie remembered that Zheng Xiu and Zheng Hui were on the list of queens selected by Lu Ze for him, and said to Lingling: "You go play with them, I will go back to the palace first."
"Little uncle, don't you want to continue watching Flower Goddess?" "I've already seen it, and there's nothing interesting to see. I'll get bored if I read more." Lingling tilted her head in confusion, "Sister Chi is so beautiful, and she is so graceful and elegant dressed as the Peony Fairy. I will never get tired of it no matter how many times I watch it."
