Thousands of miles of blue sky like washing, the high hall in the distance gathers, majestic and magnificent, the blue tile and white wall in the near view, the pattern is fresh. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On August 15, the prime minister, the prince, the clan, and the hundred officials entered the court to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and held a grand congratulatory ceremony in the Jiying Palace.

In addition to the civil and military officials of the dynasty, there were also Khitan envoys who came to congratulate him.

The relationship between our dynasty and the Khitan has not been embarrassing, three battles in the border city, the first battle was won, and Yizhou was included in the Central Plains, but the next two battles ended in failure. Now the Khitan sent envoys to carry congratulatory gifts to the emperor on his birthday, so our dynasty naturally cannot refuse.

The ladies of each province are led by one or two little ladies who are more than ten years old, and the little ladies of each family are exquisite in makeup, elegant in clothes, and slender in shape, like delicate and open flowers, with thousands of postures and different styles. Nowadays, the women in the boudoir are all beautiful with a plain and elegant, implicit and unrevealing style, and few of them are dressed gorgeously and flamboyantly.

When I walked by these little ladies, there was a light and elegant fragrance, and there were also little ladies with a strong fragrance on their bodies, and they only felt that they could smell the strong fragrance when they stood next to her a foot away.

Yan Jingxiang was quite uncomfortable with those strong fragrances, and she couldn't help but sneeze, so she had to retreat away unconsciously.

Mrs. Chen led two little ladies, both of whom were Chen Feifei's cousins. I heard that Chen Feifei's marriage has been decided, and now she is waiting to be married in the boudoir, so she will naturally not enter the palace.

Mrs. Lu led Lu Ruoxian, the fourth lady of Lu Ruoqin, that Lu Ruoxian is Lu Ruoqin's sister, fourteen this year, looking quiet and elegant, but Yan Jingxiang didn't get along well with her, and couldn't say a few words. Yan Jingxiang only pulled the old lady Lu to speak kindly.

Later, Zheng Qianqian came to find them, saying that she had been looking for them for a long time. It turned out that she was still carrying a person by her side, and that person was the second sister of the Zheng family that Yan Hanyu had seen in Jinling.

Lin Suxin knew that the second sister of the Zheng family was the child of her mother's aunt, so she was naturally very kind, so she pulled her and asked her how her grandmother was doing now, and whether she had come to Bianjing.

Second Sister Zheng is kind and likable, and she affectionately called Aunt Lin Suxin, and answered her words one by one.

Speaking of Mrs. Zheng's old lady Lin, because she was unwell, she was not suitable for long-distance travel, and she was still stranded in Jinling and had never come to Bianjing.

When Zheng Qianqian learned that they still had this relationship, she clapped her hands happily and said, "I really can't imagine that our Zheng family and your Yan family are also relatives!"

Later, a palace maid came to spread the word, saying that Shuyi Niangniang invited Lin Suxin to go. Lin Suxin led Yan Hanyu's sisters, and there was also Xie Ting, it would naturally be inconvenient for them to follow, so she told Yan Hanyu not to walk around in the palace, and when she came back, she followed the palace maid after speaking.

Yan Hanyu has always liked to be quiet, but there are so many people gathered at once, and they talk in groups, which is not very lively!

This time, Yan Hanyu met a lot of people, all of whom were young ladies from civil officials and military generals, aged between twelve or thirteen to sixteen or seventeen, and they were all introduced by Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu is the wife of the prime minister, and she has a fateful body, and the ladies and ladies present are no match for her, and they are very respectful to her.

Second Sister Zheng can speak well, has met several little ladies, and is now talking. Xie Ting knew few people in Bianjing, she just met Lu Ruoxian, and she was drinking tea together. Zheng Qianqian didn't have many friends who got along with her, she only felt that she was closest to Yan Hanyu and Yan Jingxiang, and pulled them to say that she was in a hurry and accompanied her to Gongfang.

Yan Jingxiang felt that it was too boring here, and Yan Hanyu really thought that she went to Gongfang, so she accompanied her.

How do you know that she has been going to the outer palace wall, although Yan Hanyu has not walked in the inner palace, she still reacts, "Qianqian, where are we going?"

"It's so boring there, I'll take you to see a polo game. Let me tell you, they are all gathered in Xilin Garden, and we will be able to watch it for a while when we go. ”

I heard that it was Xilin Yuan, Yan Hanyu understood, it was a place where men went in and out!

"Qianqian, it's not appropriate for us to go. Yan Hanyu stopped.

"No!" Zheng Qianqian pulled her and said, "My cousins and princess sisters are all there, I came to Yuehuayuan to go with you, it's really fine!"

Zheng Qianqian thought she was kind, but Yan Hanyu felt cheated by her, "No wonder you said you don't need the palace maid to follow, it turns out that you have this mind?"

"Sister Yan, it's already here, it's coming soon, let's go. ”

"Sister, I also want to go and see a game of polo, okay to go together?" Yan Jingxiang also advised, her temperament is naturally to go wherever it is more lively, how can she be willing to miss this opportunity?

Leaving Yuehuayuan, Yan Hanyu originally wanted to seek peace for a while, but when she went to the polo field, she was afraid that it would be even more noisy. And she didn't want to go because she was afraid that she would see Zhao Weiji again, and that person didn't take any eyes every time she looked at her, which really gave her a headache.

Zheng Qianqian was young, but her strength was not small, so she pulled Yan Hanyu, who was still hesitating, and simply said, "Let's go, don't think about it!"

Yan Hanyu was dragged away like this, and she was not given the slightest chance to refuse.

Xilinyuan is leaning on the Jinshui River, there are polo fields and shooting halls, and it is also a place for martial arts scientific examinations.

At this moment, there are a lot of people in Xilin Yuanwei, all of whom are young talents of the younger generation, playing polo, watching polo, archery in the shooting hall, Tsing Yi Xuanfu, gathering to discuss ball and arrow. Today, many young sons are both civil and military, and are highly valued by the emperor.

Hearty laughter, wanton galloping horses, a jubilant scene, Xilin Yuan is obviously more comfortable than Yuehua Yuan, this is the difference between men and women. Men can laugh freely, run freely, and have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination and discuss politics as officials.

The young man doesn't know how to worry, but he doesn't know if those chic sons will still be free and easy in the next few years?

The battle on the polo field was fierce, so I listened to the sound of the gong, and then there was a deep voice, it was the guard who stopped beating the gong, "The team of the prince of Chu scored nine goals, and the team of the prime minister's son scored seven goals!"

Yan Hanyu didn't know what she was thinking when she was standing, but she suddenly felt a familiar gaze looking over.

She hung her head and avoided it.

She was standing behind the crowd, quietly, and not tall, so she shouldn't attract attention, and he could still see her from such a long distance?

The next moment, I heard a loud voice coming down from the high platform, "Sister Yan, Sister Yan!"

It's Zheng Qianqian, but I want to call her over. Now several glances have looked back, and it is difficult for people not to pay attention!

As soon as Yan Hanyu looked up, he saw the smiling face on the polo field, he was riding on a handsome horse, tall and tall, his robe was flying, and his eyes were looking at her.

This time I really saw it.

The more people you don't want to see, the more they'll see you!

Yan Hanyu tilted her head and went to Zheng Qianqian.

Zheng Qianqian went up to the high platform, and stood on it to see the polo field more clearly.

In front of the high platform was a wooden railing, and the third princess Zhao Jiaxiu was standing in front, and when she saw her coming, Mingrun's face had a smile, "You are here too." (To be continued.) )
