Chapter 323: Division
Hua Lianyue was a little embarrassed, how could this eldest princess be haunted, hiding behind people and listening to the corner, she really didn't dare to compliment her style of acting like this.
"I've seen the eldest princess!" the ladies and ladies of the various mansions bowed respectfully.
Liu Ling didn't respond, she raised her hand and gently brushed the big red flower that bloomed the most in the eight exquisite flowers, and with a force of her fingertips, the extremely bright and extremely red flower was pinched down by her.
A low sigh of regret sounded around him, and Liu Ling didn't hear it, but just put the flower to his nose and sniffed it deeply. Her hands are extremely well maintained, white and delicate, as if carved from the finest mutton fat white jade, and the bright red of the demon rule is like a pool of blood in her hands.
After a light sniff, her hand suddenly tightened, and the beautiful and delicate flowers shattered into slag in her hand. She threw it casually, and the red silk rolled all over the ground, believing that it would not be long before she would be trampled into mud by the guests.
casually patted the flower juice on his hand that was like rouge foam, Liu Ling's beautiful face showed a bit of cruelty, and said coldly: "Dare to use these defective products that can't be on the table to perfunctory this princess, come on, carry this pot down on all sides." Also, the florist who will lay flowers ....."
She clenched her silver teeth and was about to fall hard, as if she remembered something, she suddenly relaxed her face, patted the back of the hand of the county lord of Huining beside her, and said, "I know that you can't see blood, for your sake, I won't punish him for the time being, what will I punish him?" she frowned slightly, looking uncertain.
The county lord of Huining smiled lightly: "It's better to punish an elegant one, and let him go to find the seven fairies mentioned by Mrs. Xianwang." There is also the mandarin duck phoenix crown, the jade belt purple robe, sprinkled with gold pearls, the fragrant mountain young phoenix, and the rouge point snow...... Let him find it, and then invite the eldest prince to host a flower-viewing banquet, so that I can feast my eyes on it!"
"This is good, the punishment is elegant and interesting!" Liu Ling's eyes rolled, and his face was gloomy, and he laughed softly. She finally moved her gaze to the ladies and ladies who were still saluting, and then said casually: "Why are you still restrained, get up!"
"Princess Xie!" the ladies and ladies whose knees were weak earlier got up one after another. However, they all knew that Liu Ling was obedient and moody, so naturally they didn't dare to complain, and they all complimented them with a smile.
Liu Ling obviously enjoyed the feeling of the stars and the moon, she was surrounded by her, and instead of being uncomfortable, she was coaxed into laughter. After exchanging a few words with a few familiar ladies, she finally flicked her sleeves and said, "The guests have almost arrived, let's start the banquet!"
The table had already been set up, divided into things, and the guards brought pots of blooming flowers and placed them in the center, forming a delicate flower barrier.
Hua Lianyue was stunned for a moment and said, "Is this a separate table for men and women?"
Liu Hui is also a little unsightly, Liu Ling has always been casual in the affairs of men and women, so he never holds banquets for men and women.
After the initial surprise, the guests were divided into things and sat down. The east side is full of high-crowned men, and the west side is the ladies of various provinces with fragrant clothes and sideburns.
Liu Ling saw that Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue had not moved for a long time, her eyes flashed, and she already had a little smile on her face. She stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Hua Lianyue's arm, looked sideways at Liu Hui, and said coquettishly: "Ah Hui, there is no male host in the imperial sister's mansion to entertain guests, you are half a master, so you will help the imperial sister entertain the guests over there." Your lady is with the imperial sister, and the imperial sister will definitely treat her well. ”
Liu Hui's expression was a little dignified, although he was pushed by Liu Ling, his feet did not move.
Liu Ling didn't move, only glanced at him, and said half-teasing and half-threatening: "What's the matter, the imperial sister can't tell you anymore?"
The county lord of Huining, who had been silent, finally condensed his eyes on Liu Hui's clear and noble, handsome and unscrupulous face. She smiled and said softly: "Princess, I'm afraid that King Xian is reluctant to part with his wife." ”
Hua Lianyue was pulled by Liu Ling and couldn't break free, so she lowered her eyelashes and was silent. It's just that she has always maintained a decent smile on her lips, even though Liu Ling is dissatisfied in her heart, she can't find anything wrong.
Liu Ling glanced at Hua Lianyue, who lowered her eyes, and then covered her eyes and chuckled: "Hehe, this Qingyin Pavilion is so big, you can hear it when you speak loudly." Ah Hui, are you still afraid that the imperial sister will abduct your wife?"
It's not good to say this again, Hua Lianyue is thinner, so she gently pushed Liu Hui and whispered: "Since the men and women are divided, you should go and sit over there! ”
Liu Hui didn't continue to insist, but only instructed: "You had a cough last night, I'm afraid you got a cold, don't drink later, I'll come to you as soon as possible." ”
"Got it!" Hua Lianyue whispered, and Liu Hui turned to leave.
The county lord of Huining looked at his tall back, and suddenly said to Hua Lianyue with envy: "The prince is in a high position, but he is so careful and considerate to his wife, it is really enviable." ”
Before Hua Lianyue could speak, Liu Ling had already chuckled and said to her: "You don't know, Ah Hui is a dead-eyed, he will not be emotional easily, and once he is emotional, he will pay wholeheartedly." There used to be a smile, and he also cherished and pampered him in every way, but unfortunately he was not blessed.
At that time, Ah Hui was discouraged, and I thought that he would be pure and have few desires from now on, and planned to become a monk. Unexpectedly, now he has you by his side again. He will no longer live alone and alone, and I, the imperial sister, can be regarded as relieved. She seems to be gentle and amiable, but the words she says are like a stinger, poking into people's hearts.
Hua Lianyue had known Xiao Rong for a long time, and she had also heard Ji Huang talk about their past. She knew that Xiao Rong was the prince's person, but she didn't expect that people had been dead for so long, and Liu Ling shamelessly intended to use her to stab herself. This made Hua Lianyue's disgust for the eldest princess a little more.
Hua Lianyue smiled, lowered her eyes, and said humbly: "The past is the past, and the eldest princess still talks about that smiling girl all the time, but I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Besides, it is me who is by his side now, and he only has me in his eyes, so why should I care about the past!"
To her surprise, Liu Ling did not get angry, but let go of her arm, patted her shoulder, turned around and swayed towards the main seat. Hua Liyue was a little confused, so she had to follow. She didn't see the county lord of Huining slowing down behind her, and a hint of strange color flashed in her eyes.
The eldest princess Liu Ling took a seat, and all kinds of delicacies and wines were served like flowing water, and the banquet officially began. At the same time, the sound of gongs and drums also sounded, and the singers who were originally singing and dancing on the stage retreated, and Yutangchun's troupe officially started singing gongs and songs.
Qingyin Pavilion suddenly became lively, laughter, comments, accompanied by Hua Dan's gentle singing on the stage, making people feel as if they were in the middle of the city.
At Liu Ling's insistence, Hua Lianyue and the county lord of Huining sat on her left and right sides, and the identity of the big double doomed her to not rush in, so she had to sit at the next table, but her eyes never left Hua Lianyue.
Liu Ling is very fond of being lively, and he doesn't know how many times he has heard Yutangchun's playbook, but he is still intoxicated. Although Hua Lianyue also likes to listen to dramas, but on such an occasion, she really can't devote herself wholeheartedly, so it is inevitable that her eyes will wander around.
Seeing that she was absent-minded, the county lord of Huining smiled lightly, and personally held the wine jug on the table to serve a glass of wine for Hua Lianyue. Then he picked up the wine glass and said softly: "Today's first acquaintance, I toast Mrs. with a glass!" After speaking, she didn't wait for Hua Lianyue to speak, and raised her neck to drink it all.
Liu Hui in the distance, through the gap in the flower barrier, saw this scene and frowned tightly.
Hua Lianyue's fingertips rubbed lightly on the rim of the glass for a moment, and then she also picked up the wine glass, and said apologetically: "The county lord is too polite, it's just ......."
The county lord of Huining gently pressed it on his lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the prince said that the lady is sick, and this glass of wine is just as good as the lady." ”
Hua Lianyue was stunned, the county lord of Huining was quiet and generous, but she was a little childish because she was on guard everywhere. However, as long as you can get out of this princess's mansion safely, what about the little family's anger. She picked up her glass, dipped it to her lips, and cheekily put it down.
When Liu Ling saw this scene, a sneer appeared on her lips. She also saw that Hua Lianyue was obviously deeply wary, whether it was wine or snacks, or even tea and fresh fruits, she refused to touch her lips easily.
She snorted slightly, and then looked away.
"Mrs. Xianwang, the county lord has already drunk it all, and you are afraid that it is not good to touch the corners of your lips like this!" said a noble lady who came to toast with a wine glass. Although it was ridicule, the look, the tone, no matter how you look at it, it seems that you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
A dark glint appeared in Hua Lianyue's cold black eyes, she smiled and said, "It's okay that Huining County is the main sticker, and I don't care about these subtle branches." The implication is that this noble lady who suddenly appeared is nosy.
The noble lady was not annoyed, but only smiled and quipped: "The lord of Huining is naturally considerate, but it seems that my old goods are not interesting." ”
The county lord of Huining picked up the wine glass, smiled lightly and said to the noble lady: "Mrs. Li came with a wine glass, but you want to find someone to drink?
Seeing that the county lord of Huining was like this, Mrs. Li didn't bother Hua Lianyue, touched her wine glass lightly, and after drinking a full glass, she turned around and left.
The county lord of Huining drank two glasses in a row, a pale red flew on his cheeks, and a faint smell of wine lingered around his body. She smiled and said to Hua Lianyue: "Mrs. Li has always loved the things in this cup, and when she returned to the banquet, she toasted around with a wine glass. If you refuse to drink with her, you will go on and on. I drank it happily, and everyone was happy. ”
Hua Liyue didn't expect her to say this to herself, so she was stunned before nodding her head to express her gratitude.
Liu Ling watched them talk happily with cold eyes, and her shrewd eyes narrowed slightly. The county lord of Huining actually took the initiative to show favor to Hua Lianyue, and the imaginary-for-tat instantly turned into nothingness, which was not the result she wanted: "Huining, you are also too good." It's not good to be so soft all the time, and when you get married in the future, you will be easily bullied by your husband's family. ”
The county lord of Huining raised his eyes to meet her ill-intentioned gaze, and a hint of darkness appeared in his eyes: "The princess is laughing! Huining has the emperor, and the queen supports her, who dares to bully her." Besides, Huining only wants to take care of her grandmother at home, and she hasn't thought about marriage for the time being. ”
"That's true, but women have to marry after all. You are the emperor's own county lord. Regardless of appearance and temperament, they are all first-class and good, and if anyone marries you, they will all get a baby. It's a pity that there are always those who have eyes and no beads, and would rather hold fish eyes to make pearls, but let the real pearls be dusty. Liu Ling's face showed regret, but his words were naked-naked.
After listening to Hua Liyue for a long time, I finally tasted it. The fish in Liu Ling's mouth clearly refers to her, is it that in addition to Xiao Rong, the county lord of Huining in front of him and Liu Hui also have a future?
Liu Ling looked at Hua Lianyue with a smile, only to see that her bright face was slightly gloomy, and the darkness flashed in her cold black pupils, and she knew that her provocative words were finally remembered in her heart. So he smiled and moved his eyes to the stage again.
The banquet continued, and many ladies from the next table came over to toast Liu Ling. And the county lord of Huining was busy blocking the wine for Liu Ling, so he had no time to chat with Hua Lianyue anymore.
Although Hua Lianyue had a trace of doubt in her heart, no one paid attention to her now, and she was also quiet. She tapped her fingers on the table with the sound of gongs and drums, and was listening with relish, when she suddenly saw the maid bringing the fat crabs to the table, the golden bodies of the crabs were steaming, and they were contrasted with the blooming daisies, which made people salivate.
I didn't expect there to be such a fat crab in this season, Hua Lianyue hasn't eaten crabs for a long time. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, finally took the chopsticks and feasted on them.
As soon as he ate half of it, the snow-white crab legs that had just been peeled out of the plate in front of him were taken away. She looked up in amazement, but saw the county lord of Huining, whose cheeks were red, shaking his head to himself with the plate of crab legs.
Hua Lianyue held the silver chopsticks and asked stupidly, "What are you doing?"
"You're weak now, you can't eat too many cold crabs!" said Lord Huining with a breath of wine, shaking his head. She took a plate of snacks and put them in front of Hua Lianyue, and muttered: "It's better to eat snacks, light and easy to digest, and good for your body." ”
Hua Lianyue knew that she had used her poor health as an excuse to refuse to drink, and it was reasonable for the county lord of Huining to use the excuse of worrying about her body. But the fragrance of the crab seduced the gluttonous worms in her stomach to crawl out vigorously, so she had to accompany the smiling face and said: "I have eaten half of the crab, it's a pity to waste it, let me finish it, it will be fine." ”
"In a few days, when you are in good health, I will send a cart of crabs to King Xian's mansion. You can eat as much as you want, and this half is free today. "Lord Huining seems to be drunk, and his words and actions are a little out of proportion.
She brutally pushed away the half crab, put a bowl of hot soup in front of Hua Lianyue, and said vaguely: "If you don't want to eat snacks, drink soup to warm your body...... Wow"
Hua Lianyue didn't have time to dodge, and was spit out by the county lord of Huining, splashing wet skirt corners and shoes and socks, and her little face suddenly turned green!
