When Shi Sheng saw the thickness of the Buddhist scriptures, she realized that she had been too naive.
The Buddhist scriptures in this dynasty were frighteningly thick. She would die if she copied it twice, right?
As expected, he wasn't her biological father. Bad!
Shi Sheng looked at the Buddhist scriptures helplessly. The palace maid, Xiao Xuan, stood beside her and started grinding. "Your Highness, it's done."
Xiao Xuan watched as Shi Sheng picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and started writing …
Her movements were smooth and fluid. There was nothing wrong with it.
But why couldn't she understand what she was writing?
When she was tidying up the study, she had seen His Highness's handwriting. It was completely different from this. Was His Highness practicing new calligraphy?
Mm … that must be it.
Xiao Xuan tried to convince herself, but the more she read, the more she felt that something was wrong. It was too strange.
Slap!
Xiao Xuan was startled by the sound. She quickly looked at Shi Sheng. "Your Highness?"
Shi Sheng stood up and gestured with his chin. "You write."
I don't know how to write! Damn it!
"This servant?" Xiao Xuan pointed at herself in surprise. Seeing Shi Sheng nod seriously, Xiao Xuan's mouth twitched. "But this servant's handwriting is different from Your Highness'."
"Whatever." In any case, her handwriting was different from the original owner's.
Xiao Xuan opened her mouth, but finally bowed slightly. "Yes."
How could they refuse their master's orders? Even if His Majesty wanted to pursue the matter, they could only accept it.
After Xiao Xuan finished copying the Buddhist scriptures and Shi Sheng sent her to Yangxin Palace Hall, she had been feeling uneasy. But after a few days, nothing happened.
The people outside had also left. Did this mean that everything was fine?
"Your Highness, didn't His Majesty notice?" Xiao Xuan asked boldly. Her handwriting was very different from His Highness'.
"He noticed." Anyone who wasn't blind would be able to tell that the two handwriting were completely different.
"Then what?" Nothing happened at all?
Shi Sheng tilted his head and looked at her, his voice light. "It's just a formality. Do you really think Imperial Father wants to punish me?"
I'm not the female lead. If I can't finish copying, I won't be given food.
His Majesty punishing her was just a show for the rest of the harem. As for how she finished copying, His Majesty wouldn't interfere as long as she didn't go overboard.
Little Xuan: "…"
I don't really understand how you nobles play.
A palace maid hurried over from afar and curtsied to the Shi Sheng. "Your Highness, the Fourth Princess requests to see you."
"Which fourth princess?" Shi Sheng asked subconsciously.
The palace maid: "…" How many Fourth Princesses were there in the palace?
Your Highness, are you forgetful?
Shi Sheng's mind turned and a figure appeared in his mind.
The fourth princess, Duanmu Xin.
She was a princess who was close to the original owner. Her mother was one of the four imperial concubines, Concubine De. Concubine De was one of the earliest concubines to enter the palace, but because she didn't give birth to a prince, she wasn't favored.
Concubine De was afraid that her position would be threatened, so she told Duanmu Xin to have a good relationship with the Original Host.
Everyone in the palace knew that the original owner was favored, so the emperor would naturally take care of the people around her.
Concubine De's plan was obviously useful. Since Duanmu Xin received the recognition of the original owner, as long as the original owner had something, the Emperor would also give it to her.
Of course, the things were definitely different from the original owner's, but it was enough to make those who wanted to replace Concubine De think twice.
Duanmu Xin didn't have much sincerity towards the original owner. She only played with the original owner for the sake of benefits.
"I won't see her." Shi Sheng waved his hand. What a mess. They would definitely cause trouble when they meet.
I just want to be a princess in peace.
I'll eat melon seeds and watch the drama, while tearing apart the couple.
"Sister Changning."
As soon as Shi Sheng's voice fell, a light pink figure ran over from afar, calling her sweetly.
Shi Sheng: "…"
Damn, who let her in!
"Sister Changning." Duanmu Xin ran in, panting with her small mouth open. Her face was red and her voice was so sweet that it made people's hearts melt. "Sister Changning, I'm sorry. A few days ago, Concubine De and I went out of the palace to visit relatives and didn't come to see you in time. When we came back, we found out that something big had happened to you."
Shi Sheng responded indifferently, "Oh."
Why didn't I hear any concern in his voice?
Duanmu Xin was stunned and looked worried. "Sister Changning, are you not happy?"
"I'll be happy if you leave." I don't want to cause trouble with passers-by.
"Sister Changning?" Duanmu Xin seemed to be frightened. Her small face suddenly changed and she looked at Shi Sheng pitifully. "What did I do wrong? I came to see you as soon as I came back and brought you delicious food. "
Duanmu Xin turned around and took the food box from the maid behind her. She went forward and put it on the small table beside Shi Sheng. "Sister Changning, these are delicious. I brought them back especially for you."
"Okay, you can go." Shi Sheng took the food and waved to Duanmu Xin.
Duanmu Xin frowned slightly. There was some dissatisfaction in her eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. She felt wronged. "Sister Changning is in a bad mood. I'll come another day."
She stood up and walked a few steps. Then she seemed to think of something and turned back. "By the way, Sister Changning, shall we go to the Flower Appreciation Banquet together in a few days? It's a deal. I'll come to see you then. "
Duanmu Xin was afraid that Shi Sheng would refuse, so she left quickly with her people.
"What Flower Appreciation Banquet?" Shi Sheng turned and asked Xiao Xuan.
"…" Why did His Highness seem to have lost his memory? Xiao Xuan felt strange, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. "The Flower Appreciation Banquet was started a few years ago at the New Moon Lake outside the palace. Every year at this time, there will be a large number of peonies blooming around the New Moon Lake."
In the beginning, the banquet hadn't taken shape yet. It was just a group of young ladies going to the New Moon Lake to swim around and appreciate the flowers.
Later, a fancy restaurant opened next to the New Moon Lake and it hosted the Flower Appreciation Banquet.
Those who could attend the Flower Appreciation Banquet were all young ladies and gentlemen with high social status. So more people wanted to show off at the Flower Appreciation Banquet.
It wasn't a blind date. This program was more like a competition.
In the end, the restaurant would select the most talented woman in the capital according to the comprehensive results.
This event could increase the fame of the woman and bring benefits to the family. Those families naturally acquiesced in it.
So now, it was a great honor to be called the most talented woman at the Flower Appreciation Banquet.
It was an outstanding success for a folk event to be so popular with the young ladies of official families.
"Your Highness, are you going to attend the banquet?" Xiao Xuan asked seriously after explaining.
If His Highness was going to attend, they had to start preparing.
Shi Sheng tilted his head and thought. The girls he met last time should be talking about this. Since the female lead was going, of course he had to go and watch the show.
After Duanmu Xin said that, someone sent an official invitation to Shi Sheng, inviting him to be the judge of this Flower Appreciation Banquet.
Asking the Eldest Princess to perform, no one would have the guts to do so.
The name of the invitation was Juxian Restaurant.
For a restaurant to be able to reach into the Imperial Palace, it was quite impressive.
