Chapter 61: The East Palace Goes to the Banquet
Although she untied Mu Qi's heart knot, Fu Liluo felt that she still had something to hide from herself, but Mu Qi didn't say that she couldn't force her, just one point, she would definitely figure out the injury on Mu Qi's face, but she would have to wait until she went to the banquet.
I think I haven't seen that poisonous couple like snakes and scorpions for many days, and I don't know what bad they are holding?
Thinking that Fu Liluo was a little impatient to rush into the palace, although the cold and fragrant letter did not indicate why the banquet was held. But thinking about the scheming Zhu Shaosi, he must have been prepared.
Early the next morning, Fu Liluo got up from the green gauze tent with a depressed face, and his green silk hung down slightly messily on his waist.
"Miss, you must dress up well today and compare those noble girls. Cranberry came in with hot water, humming a little song briskly, and her fat little face was flushed.
Manluo put down the wooden basin in her hand, and put her cool fat hand into Fu Liluo's quilt in a mess: "I heard that many people are going this time, several young ladies from the Yongding Marquis Mansion, the young ladies of the Lin family, and Miss Shen from the Yongxing Earl's Mansion, the young lady's maternal grandfather. ”
"Then isn't Miss Dou from the General's Mansion going?" Fu Liluo pressed the cold little hand of the mangrove, and his long eyebrows frowned slightly, like the distant mountains and green daisies rolled up above the blue waves.
Manluo took out her hands and tucked the corners of the quilt: "I haven't heard of this slave, but the slave thinks what a great favor the general's mansion is, so she must go too!"
Fu Liluo hugged his shoulders and bent his knees on the bed, lifted the green curtain at the head of the bed and looked at the window, and saw the small grid outside the window groggily, and the blue ink curtain was blown up and down by the cold wind.
"Is it raining again?"
Fu Liluo leaned against the wood-colored inverted cabinet by the window, and opened the pane with dark patterns and emerald pear patterns.
Manluo twisted her waist and stepped forward, raising her hand to pull down the cyan curtain: "Miss, don't be invaded by the wind." ”
"Miss, look, how about this pearl tortoiseshell hairpin?" Manluo picked up the hairpin in the brocade box and shook it in front of Fu Liluo's eyes, the pearl inlaid at the top of the hairpin was white and transparent, and under the reflection of the glass cup on the incense case, it shone brightly, illuminating the whole room very bright.
"Don't want this, find a very simple and elegant root!" Fu Liluo squinted, and then reached out to take the porcelain bowl handed over by Mama Hong, and sat down at the mahogany round table to start eating.
The mangrove flattened her mouth, and picked out a rose hairpin with an emerald hairpin: Miss, where is this one?"
Fu Liluo scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it in his mouth, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, only glanced at it and waved his hand busily: "You put it down! ”
Manluo pouted, stomped her feet stupidly, and put the hairpin into the brocade box: "Miss is dressed up every day, this time she is going to enter the palace for a banquet, and she shouldn't be too pure and elegant!"
Fu Liluo put down the porcelain bowl and squinted at the mangrove carefully, only to see that she was combing her begonia double bun, with two red jade tassels on each side that she had admired her not long ago, and the white face and red hairpin also matched, but the pink rouge on her cheeks was painted like a monkey's buttocks.
Fu Liluo hid his smile and threw a brass mirror to Manluo: "If you go out like this, I guess I will be laughed to death first!"
Manluo only glanced at the mirror, and then hurriedly raised Supa to stroke her face: "Hehe, the slave is a little too hard, hahaha." ”
Fu Liluo glanced at her angrily, looking at the mangrove like a washboard, rubbing the tender white cheeks all over the red silk, she looked funny and distressed.
As soon as she changed her clothes and picked up a light purple tassel pendant and pinned it in her hair, Mama Shen lifted the curtain and came in: "Miss, Mama Li ordered someone to prepare the glass purple carriage, which has been parked at the gate of the courtyard, just waiting for the young lady to leave." ”
"Got it. Fu Liluo picked up the red agate earrings on the case and hooked them on the white and smooth earlobes, raised his eyebrows and stood up and walked towards the roller shutter door.
For a while, Manrose was stunned.
It wasn't until she heard the tinkling tassel curtain being pulled up that Manluo picked up the brocade box of five-thread hairpin beads next to the case, and followed with fine steps: "Miss, wait for the slave maid..."
—
The carriage was bumpy along the way, and it was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that it arrived in front of the Zhengyang Gate at the Daguan Pass.
Zhengyangmen is the only way for nobles to enter the palace, no matter which family's lady or Hou Gongzi, anyone who wants to enter the palace must stay here.
Then Ouchi will send Chunxi Luan car and Blue Bird official car to pick them up into the palace, but they will also rush before the palace gate is locked, and they will send the big guys here in a carriage, and at that time, all the families of the prefecture will wait for the master of the mansion here.
The noisy voices in front of the palace gate woke up Fu Liluo, who was calm in the carriage.
Her thin white fingers rubbed the center of her aching brows, and she lifted the corner of the carriage curtain, and was about to follow the sound to look out, when she heard a light footstep coming, accompanied by a crisp call:
"Sister Xi'er. ”
"Miss Shen is well!"
Manluo bent towards Shen Huanbi, who was wearing a pink shirt, and hurriedly raised the curtain to welcome Fu Liluo out.
"Sister Shen. ”
Fu Li Luo smiled lightly and stepped forward to hold Shen Huanbi's thin hand, and the two laughed affectionately.
"Sister Xi'er is really beautiful, dressed so plainly but so pretty. Shen Huanbi smiled and blinked, raised her hand to help Fu Liluo brush a strand of broken hair on her sideburns, raised her eyes to look at the two girls standing next to the stone pier, her narrow and waveless eyes sank, and the corners of her mouth curved a trace of contempt and said: "Sister, you see that Lin Xianrou is dressed like a pheasant, and she deliberately leans on the general's side to show off her style!"
Shen Huanbi stared at Lin Xianrou in colorful clothes not far away, tiptoeing in circles for a while, and stroking his waist and chuckling for a while.
The golden phoenix hanging on Lin Xianrou's head swayed with her rotation, and she also wanted to flutter her wings and fly, and the few sons who were talking and laughing also raised their eyes from time to time to look.
Shen Huanbi seemed to see it, and the man in the dark clothes also glanced back at Lin Xianrou, who was showing off her flowers, Shen Huanbi couldn't help pinching the hem of her skirt, and couldn't help but hook her lips and curse: "Fox-like slut!"
Fu Liluo brushed the wind-blown green silk on his shoulders, and looked at the stone pier with a pair of watery eyes.
But she didn't know that between the fire and light stones, the man in the official robe was raising his deep phoenix eyes to look at her, Fu Liluo faintly turned his eyes away, but his palms were slightly moist. A restless heart is like a soybean roasted on the stove, beating again and again as if it is about to pop out of the chest.
"Oh, the general is looking this way!"
Shen Huanbi grabbed Fu Liluo's wrist tightly and lowered her eyes, her eyebrows were bright, her eyes were like autumn water, her fair cheeks were slightly flushed, her round and big eyes glanced in the direction of laughter and laughter from time to time, and Shen Huan Biteng's plain hand touched her face with a shyness.
"Does my sister like General Dou?" Fu Liluo pulled Shen Huanbi's slightly trembling fingertips, and his watery eyes fixed on Shen Huanbi, who was blushing.
Although Shen Huanbi has a big grinning temperament, she was seen through her daughter's heart, and after a while, the roots of her neck were flushed, and she muttered with her red and glamorous lips: "Sister... What did my sister say? My sister didn't understand. ”
Thinking of the fox-like man, Fu Liluo was bored in his heart.
She grabbed Shen Huanbi's sleeve tightly and bit the corner of her mouth: "Sister Shen, that General Dou has been given marriage, sister don't want it.... Obsessed with him. Fu Liluo raised his eyebrows and carefully straightened the buttons on Shen Huanbi's chest, but he didn't know that his watery cherry red lips were bitten and white.
Shen Huanbi's cheeks were half white, she suddenly clenched Fu Liluo's white wrist, and said with a crying voice: "But really?"
Fu Liluo was taken aback by her, pulled her bruised wrist, twisted her eyebrows, and sighed: "Of course it's true, I heard about it a few days ago." ”
Shen Huanbi is Gu Xi's cousin, and she is straightforward and pure, Fu Liluo doesn't want her to fall into it, so she directly wants to wake her up.
Fu Liluo looked at Shen Huanbi with tears in her eyes, she felt a little unbearable, and when she was about to stretch out her hand to comfort her, she suddenly heard a voice:
"Sister Xi. ”
Huang Ying's crisp and coquettish voice came out of the valley, Fu Li Luo hurriedly lowered his eyes, and saw Xuanyuan in a water-red shirt walking up with a light smile, in addition to the personal maidservant behind him, he was also followed by two dressed sisters, who were Xuanyuan You and Xuanyuan Xian who caused the incident in the Houfu Flower Hall last time.
Fu Liluo bowed his head at them lightly, and then stepped forward and smiled at Xuanyuan Yi: "Sister Yi'er came at the right time, unlike the wind that has been blown by us for a while. As he spoke, he pulled the corner of Shen Huanbi's clothes, which was slightly pale, and said, "This is my cousin, and Sister Yi'er is called Sister Shen." ”
Xuanyuan Yi had a smile on her face like a spring breeze, and she stepped forward to hook her waist obediently and softly: "Sister Shen is fine!"
Shen Huanbi stared at the charming and lovely Xuanyuan Yi in front of her expressionlessly, the water-red shirt and skirt lined Xuanyuan Yi like a gorgeous delicate flower in the flowers, a pair of dark misty eyes on the pointed and thin little face, in the blink of an eye, she still saw pity, the delicate little daughter posture, just one glance can make a man want to protect.
"Sister Xi, I'm a little unwell, let's go sit over there for a while. Shen Huanbi's lips were pale, and her face was much grayer, like a frosted eggplant, Shen Huanbi directly ignored Xuanyuanyi's stunned expression, and vigorously rubbed her body and walked out.
Xuanyuan froze in place, her face was aggrieved, her misty eyes were coated with a layer of water, and she looked even more pitiful, she stared at Fu Liluo, who had a light face, and said, "Sister Xi, what's wrong with Sister Shen?"
Looking at Shen Huanbi's resolute back, Xuanyuan Yi's misty eyes flashed with a trace of injury, and Su Pa, who was twisting his palms, bit his red lips: "I always feel that Sister Shen seems to be hostile to me." ”
Fu Liluo stretched out his hand to wrap the brocade cloak tightly, and lowered his eyes in a sneering manner: "No, Sister Shen has no reason to be hostile to you!"
After saying that, he looked at the stone pier, and the man in the black robe had long since disappeared.
Lin Xianrou, who had been standing with a swinging skirt and a waist and turning in circles, was also like a deflated ball, wilting and hooking her shoulders against Lin Xianying on the side.
"Third sister, look, how happy the second sister and Second Prince Lin are talking about!
Xuanyuan You suddenly shouted at the top of her voice, and walked up with a wide skirt in both hands, although there was a smile on her round little face, the sneer on the corner of her mouth did not have time to hide.
"The second sister is really... I don't know how the old lady feels when she finds out!"
Xuanyuan Xian, who had been bowing his head and following behind, covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, looked under the ancient locust tree with disdain, and then shook his head, and stood beside Xuanyuan You and sighed.
Fu Liluo looked at the pair of men and women under the locust tree lightly, his eyes turned without a trace of ripples, and then looked at the gentle Xuanyuan in front of him and said with a light smile: "Congratulations sister, I will marry General Dou in the near future." Although he said congratulations, a trace of bitterness poured out of his heart.
Fu Liluo's onion-white fingertips hidden in the gauze sleeves rubbed his sleeves tightly, and a slight stinging pain appeared in his chest.
Xuanyuan Yiqiao's face was flushed with a large piece of pink, the hairpin on her black hair bun fluttered in the wind, she lifted the gauze and stroked her delicate face, and her long eyelashes covered the blush under her eyelids: "Sister, it's still early to get married!"
With plain white hands hanging down on his waist, Fu Li Luo smiled and rubbed his sour eyes: "The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and a piece of sand has entered my eyes." ”
Suddenly, a clear tear flowed out of the corner of his eye, silently blown away by the cold wind that swept over, and was as light as the clouds on the horizon fluttering.
"Ahh ”
A sound of excitement swayed, and the three Xuanyuan sisters hurriedly walked towards Fu Li Luo.
Fu Li Luo paused, pinched Su Pa's slightly tight face without showing any traces, and hurriedly lifted his skirt and stepped forward to the pavilion to find Shen Huanbi.
"Oh! Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is really a blessing. ”
"It's not like it! It's a great joy to be pregnant at this time!"
The two women in brocade clothes smiled and exchanged their heads, and their feet walked briskly towards the Luan car that stopped in front of the door, and the fat hem of their clothes rubbed against the corners of Fu Liluo's light purple clothes.
Fu Liluo couldn't help but stumble, as if a muffled thunder exploded in his ears, his watery eyes swelled with coldness, and the cold fingertips hidden in the light veil of his sleeves were tightly clenched into a fist.
