When it was time for the flower viewing banquet, An Ning called her sons who had not even put their minds on women and asked them to find a place in the garden to take a look at which girl they had liked.

Xiao Ying and the others were unwilling to do so, but An Ning gave the death order, so they had to go.

On the right day, almost all the daughters or girls of officials of fourth rank or above in Beijing came.

These women first visited An Ning, and An Ning left a few familiar royal decrees to speak, and the rest were all taken to Zhaoyang and Pingyang to the garden.

Lu Zhen also entered the palace with her mother and sister.

After entering the palace, Lu Shan said to Lu Zhen: "If you can stop talking, don't talk later, you will save me from losing my people."

Liu also whispered: "You will be by my side in a while, don't run around, don't talk to others casually, don't get tired of your sister."

Lu Zhen has long since lost the strength to argue with Liu.

She might be sad when she was young, but now she is not sad at all. It has always been normal for Liu to look at Lu Shan, and it would be abnormal if she doesn't look at Lu Shan on one day.

She agreed and followed Liu obediently. If she could not speak, she really tried not to speak.

Xiao Ying and his wife sat on the highest rockery in the garden. There was a pavilion. They sat on the pavilion and looked down, and saw most of the garden's scenery.

Xiao Ying looked down. He was very clear-headed and saw Lu Zhen and his group, and also heard what Liu and Lu Shan warned Lu Zhen.

Xiao Ying thought that the little girl Lu Zhen was quite pitiful at that time, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

After seeing this, Xiao Ying felt that Lu Zhen was very different from the current ladies.

The ladies in the capital all regard whiteness as beauty, and their skin is so white that they apply powder to Xiao Ying, and they say it is like a ghost.

He spent a long time in Nanyi. When he was in Nanyi, he also helped Xiao Yuan and An Ning work. He often went to and from the countryside and went to the city. Later, he almost traveled all over Nanyi's mansion. The girls in Nanyi were not so white. Most of the girls' skin was wheat-colored, and they looked very healthy, with a sunny and positive feeling.

Xiao Ying likes such girls.

When he saw Lu Zhen, he found that the girl's complexion was similar to that of the girls in Nanyi. She looked very good, unlike the girls in the capital, who were all sick like Xi Shi.

"Does that girl go out to play often? Why is she so tanned?"

Xiao Bo also saw Lu Zhen and said something to Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying smiled and said, "Who knows?"

Xiao Ying waved to Xiaoshouzi and said, "Go and find out who the girl is."

Xiaoshouzi took the order and went there.

After a moment, An Ning knew about Xiao Ying inquiring about Lu Zhen.

An Ning smiled and stood up: "It's almost time, let's go to the garden as well."

Several imperial edicts followed An Ning.

When An Ning arrived in the garden, the wives and grandma girls sat down one by one.

After An Ning looked around, he saw Liu.

She smiled and asked, "Who is Lord Lu's family?"

Liu was so scared that he became excited. The ladies present here just pointed out her name, and maybe he really liked Lu Shan.

As for Lu Zhen, Liu never thought that Lu Zhen would be attracted to. Lu Zhen is really ugly compared to these ladies in the capital.

Liu quickly stood up and paid homage to An Ning under the envious gaze of many imperial edicts: "The civilian woman has seen the Empress."

An Ning smiled and said, "You come and talk."

Liu walked a few steps forward, walked to An Ning and wanted to kneel down. An Ning raised her hand: "Everyone is talking and laughing together, let's go to those traditional Chinese festivals."

Liu bent down and saluted: "Yes."

An Ning asked with a smile: "Where is your girl? Where is it?"

Liu quickly called Lu Shan and Lu Zhen over.

An Ning looked at her: "They are two good girls."

An Ning just glanced at it, but she realized that Lu Shan was wearing clothes made by Yun Jin, wearing a whole set of ruby ​​faces, and her makeup looked particularly delicate. She looked gentle and gentle, and when she looked at it suddenly, she was really pleasant.

But who is An Ning? I can’t tell that this girl has big eyes and empty hearts, and her mind is not upright.

On the contrary, Lu Zhen looked a little dark, and her clothes were not as good as Lu Shan, but the girl's eyes were clear and firm. When she looked at her hands, the joints were a bit thick. Even after careful care, it could be seen that these hands had done a lot of work.

An Ning called Lu Shan and asked a few words softly. Lu Shan was extremely happy and answered cautiously.

After Lu Shan retreated, An Ning called Lu Zhen over again: "How old is this year? What do you like to do usually?"

Lu Zhen replied softly: "My daughter is sixteen years old. She just planted some flowers and trees at home, and she didn't like it."

An Ning nodded: "It's still acceptable."

Afterwards, An Ning praised Lu Shan and Lu Zhen for a hairpin.

Lu Shan couldn't help but feel happy, but Lu Zhen still looked faint.

The subsequent process is similar to that of an ordinary flower viewing banquet. It is nothing more than looking at the flowers, reminiscing about the past, and then eating and drinking, and allowing girls from each family to perform their talents.

When the flower viewing banquet ended, An Ning returned to Fengqi Palace, and the information about Lu Zhen had been put on the desk.

An Ning took it over and flipped it. When she saw Rwan's river control, the little Lu Zhen took care of his food and daily life. Sometimes she would cook and deliver it to Rwan on the river bank. She had seen many people's sufferings, and she planted fields and cultivated the land by herself. Later, she learned some knowledge of river control with Rwan.

This girl is very smart. She not only reads the Four Books and Five Classics, but also learns mathematics and is also proficient in dialects from several places.

Rwan often does not stay at home in the management of the river. Thanks to Lu Zhen’s help in mercy in the river governor’s office, Lu Zhen has also given many ideas for Rwan. In short, this girl is talented and smart, and she has a kind heart.

After reading An Ning, she was undoubtedly very satisfied with the girl Lu Zhen.

She immediately asked someone to call Xiao Ying and hand over Lu Zhen's information to Xiao Ying to read.

After seeing it, Xiao Ying said, "My mother, let's just her."

"Are you sure?"

An Ning raised her eyebrows and asked.

Xiao Ying nodded: "I'm sure, this girl is suitable for being the crown princess."

An Ning understood Xiao Ying's meaning, and Lu Zhen's vision was not limited to the back house. She had a broad mind and a big structure. She also understood the lives of the people at the bottom and could afford the mother of a country.

"Then she."

An Ning clicked on the information and decided.

Liu took Lu Shan and Lu Zhen home, and she took the two girls to the old lady's room to pay tribute.

When the old lady saw the three people coming back, she asked, "How is it?"

Liu said happily: "The Empress should like our eldest girl very much. She also asked the eldest girl to ask a lot of things and even exaggerated the girl."

Lu Shan also took out the hairpin that An Ning admired: "This is what the Empress personally admired."

The old lady was so happy when she heard this: "Look, my granddaughter is still outstanding. All these girls have gone, and you will get rewards."

The three of them laughed for a moment.

Neither Liu nor Lu Shan took Lu Zhen to see him, and even forgot that Lu Zhen was rewarded and was asked by the queen.

Lu Shan was even more confident. She felt that she was either the crown princess or wanted to be the princess, and she was sure to be sure.

Lu Zhen was a little uninteresting.

She sat for a while and then returned to the room because she felt uncomfortable.
