The Imperial Garden had long being occupied by tables and noble ladies who received the invitation card.

     They were chatting in a small group while waiting for Su Li. 

    "You've heard all that rumor, you say, will the third princess consort come?" A lady wearing a lake green dress whispered. 

    "If the Queen Empress sent the invitation, she dare not to come?"

      " I don't know," said another young woman.

    "Although this matter has been pressed down, who knows what really happened? It's just a chicken that wants to fly up and become a phoenix."

    "That's right." 

    "Look, you see, is that the third princess consort? Her face look frivolous, and oh, what kind of pathetic dress up is that?" 

    "That's her. Tsk, look at her pity expression, I don’t know if she tries to seduce other people.” 

    Ji Qingqing felt a lot of attention when she walked into the well designed garden. She straightened her back and tried to make a calm look, then found an inconspicuous seat to sit down. 

    "You are?" Suddenly a clear voice  sounded around her.

    Ji Qingqing looked up, only to see a beautiful girl with an elegance and  cool temperament, like the light green plum embroidered on her skirt. 

  She got up and nodded at her while smiling. "I am Third Princess Consort." 

   The lady sneered and said: "Third Princess Consort, this is not the seated position for a married woman." 

    Ji Qingqing heard the remark, then embarrassingly said: "Sorry." Then she sat on the other side in the eyes of crowd with a smile. 

    "Who is she?" Ji Qingqing heart is somewhat uncomfortable, so she whispered to the noble ladies around  her. 

    "Wangfei, that was Shen Qixue, Prime Minister's Di daughter. She is also a famous talented lady." She replied.

    "Is it..." Is this saying that she is short-sighted because she didn't know a famous talented lady? Ji Qingqing squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes were sorrow. 

    "The Queen Empresses is here!" The eunuch's loud voice sounded from a distance, and everyone divided and got up to greet them.

    The imperial chariot with phoenix
carving slowly came, and stopped on a flat land. The palace lady picked up the embroidered gold-line cloud printed curtain in front of the chariot. Then, everyone saw a beautiful woman was helped out by Qiao Que.

    Su Li was dressed in a rope skirt with a rouge-colored peony embroidered dress, and the long hemline is full of vivid flowers. An average person can't hold up this kind of color, but Su Li's five senses are beautiful. Besides, this dress actually complemented her and His Majesty's outfit.

    Everyone start to bow, paying respect to her. Su Li’s eyes swept around and gently smiled: “You don’t have to be polite. Today’s invitation is for everyone is to view the flowers, do not too be too restrain.”

    The general’s wife has a straightforward temper. Listening to Su Li's words, she said: "This garden is full of scenery, flowers are also blooming well, it is really worthy of Queen Empress's garden." 

    Su Li smiled and nodded. "Bengong* also feels that this garden is well made. This is thanks to Your Majesty.” 

*I for Royal Family

    “Your Majesty and Niangniang are really sweethearts.” Said the general’s wife. 

    Su Li exchanged pleasantries with the noble ladies, then ordered an eunuch to bring a small box of wooden card painted in various colors. 

    "In the past, the flower-viewing banquets are all about poems and paintings, so they are quite common. Let's play a new trick today." Su Li reached out and took out a set of small and delicate wooden card  in it.

   "There are ten pieces of wooden cards here. After each wooden card is opened, you can see there is something written inside. But, there are two wooden cards written differently from others. Those who get these two cards should try to disguise their identity. If they are finally identified, they lose." 

    "This game is new and interesting. Niangniang is truly wise." A noble lady who loves to play is clapping her hands.
