Chapter 381: Anya's Regret
The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, Xiao Tong affectionately led the snow coat towards the palace gate, this is the place where the former queen mother's welcome banquet was set up, there is a large lake enough for rowing, and the lake is a rockery with exquisite scenery.
It is really very suitable for banquets, two rows of official seats are opposite each other, and at the entrance are two delicate screens, and the lanterns above them shine with a light golden light when viewed from a distance, which is very beautiful.
The battle reached more than 100 people, and at this inappropriate moment when the two princes of the court and the central government were not in the capital, there were many well-dressed young ladies who looked so prosperous.
And the people who prompted today's banquet were sitting at a long table, talking and laughing.
In front of the screen, there was a row of palace maids who were separated every three steps, and when they saw Xiao Tong first, they shouted, "The king of the county has arrived." ”
"The king has arrived. ”
"The ...... of the King"
Xiao Tong: "In the future, they will report that the princess of the county has arrived." ”
"None of you are right, you haven't told me what you want me to do tonight. Xue Cao replied, her eyes flashing slightly, like a quiet lake blowing in the breeze, beautiful and tranquil.
Xiao Tong said disapprehantly: "Who knows what he wants to do? You will sit next to me today, and you don't have to deal with anyone." ”
The opinion of Li Quan in his tone did not seem to be that of the majestic emperor.
Xue Yu didn't know what the relationship between the former emperor and Xiao Tong was, but looking at it like this, this uncle seemed to be good to Xiao Tong.
What does the emperor want to do?
She began to worry a little, and in the moment of her distraction, he walked around, avoiding everyone, and only one thing woke her up......
"What does it smell like?"
She asked suddenly.
As soon as her footsteps stopped, Xiao Tong looked at her with great concern, not knowing what she was talking about.
Xue Yu looked at it, focused on the screens on both sides, and after a closer look, she suddenly smiled.
"This, there's a smell on it? Xiao Tong also noticed it and smiled slightly.
There happened to be no one coming, so Xue Sheng looked carefully at the screen and found that the realistic picture was not actually a painting, but an embroidery.
On the left is the green pine standing proudly in the snow, the embroidery is exquisite, it seems that you can see the edge of the pine needles, and if you look carefully at the three green pines, there seem to be some pine cones.
The tip of the nose is a good smell of pine, and to be precise, it should also contain a faint light fragrance of plum blossoms.
As she stood aside, she seemed to be able to see the real pine forest, and the plum blossoms that did not appear in the painting, but were not far away, but had a faint fragrance.
The person who embroidered this screen really had a heart, and the snow robe didn't have to guess, so he turned around and looked to the right, and sure enough, it was embroidered with a picture of snow pressing green bamboo.
After approaching, the fresh and refined smell of bamboo passed through the silk thread, revealing a breeze like a summer day, which made people feel refreshed in an instant.
And when I turned around and wanted to reminisce about the bamboo forest, I was once again entangled by the light and unique plum fragrance, leaving the expectation that walking through the bamboo forest is a cold plum......
Xiao Tong admired and praised her with her: "In this night, what is used to welcome guests is this year-old and cold three friends, which is really ingenious. ”
Xue Yu listened to it, and also smiled faintly, and couldn't help but praise:
"Yes, these screens don't want pictures, but this smell, which makes people feel like they are there. What could be more relaxing in summer than the aroma of pine, bamboo, and plum?"
"The aroma is really realistic. I don't know which craftsman made it? The embroidery lady in the palace is really becoming more and more exquisite. Xiao Tong said with a smile.
Pull her aside and don't stay any longer, and there are a few others who don't dare to come forward to disturb them because of them, so that they won't be late for the banquet.
Xue Yu was still savoring, and just smiled: "This aroma is not something that can be made casually." It must have been made by Miss Boudoir. ”
Seeing how energetic she said, Xiao Tong also asked, "Why did the young lady do it?" Are you so sure?"
"Naturally, I am not speaking in vain, but this screen is embroidered by a man who is well versed in the art of smelling incense. The so-called smelling fragrance can be described as a superior talent. With the tea ceremony, calligraphy eyebrows.
Only the daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles will have the conditions to invite someone to teach them to smell the fragrance, to see the purity of the taste, and she is still a person who is proficient in this way, and she is definitely not an embroidery girl. ”
She said confidently, Xiao Tong just smiled and said, "It seems that I am too rustic and don't know this elegant talent." How do you know?"
Xiao Tong is not a well-behaved county king, so he naturally doesn't care about the affairs of these daughters' families, there are many things he doesn't know.
"I also learned by chance that I'm not good at it. Xue replied.
In her previous life, she studied with Li Xunduan for a period of time, because it was too elegant, it was not in line, he would rather let himself learn singing and dancing to please men, and did not continue this.
Xiao Tong smiled at her and said, "It seems that you like it very much, tomorrow I will find the person who is the best at this in the capital, so that you can study hard and relieve your boredom." ”
The robe on his body that drafted eight clusters of tassel patterns was very gentle on his body, and the style of brocade and ink on his shirt was very spiritual, and it seemed that his eyes were bright and full of affection, which made her a little dizzy.
Xue Bao: "Well, it's not necessary. ”
"Are you shy?" Xiao Tong tilted his head, and said in a teasing tone, and the doting seemed to overflow from his eyes.
"The king of the county, please come here. A palace maid came forward to bring Xiao Tong into the table, but he directly refused: "Add a place next to me first." ”
The palace maid had already replied preparedly: "You don't need Your Highness to order, the emperor has already arranged it." This is Miss Lin, and your location is right next to you. ”
Xiao Tong looked at her, knowing that Xue Yu was a little worried and didn't like to be the attention of everyone, so he just walked in front of her, blocking everyone's eyes and carrying her through the crowd.
"Who is she?"
"What, how with the county king?"
"Who is it, who is it?"
Through guò word of mouth, on the seats of the young lady and the child, the eyes were focused on the snow coat.
The men began to marvel, many of them who had paid attention to her before, but they couldn't help but look at her straightly.
The woman has fair skin, under the eyebrows of the distant mountains with two shallow distant mountains, a pair of light blue apricot eyes showing a little alienation, a long hair as smooth and soft as satin, holding a flowing cloud bun, wearing a glass hairpin, and wearing a delicate and gorgeous dress that is also light blue.
Walking around, the streamer on the dress is all around, and the hairpin also emits a brilliant brilliance, as if the fairy in the painting has stepped into the mortal world, which amazes everyone.
The young ladies began to discuss, and their eyes seemed to tear apart the hands held by Xiao Tong and Xue Bao.
After the snow robe sat next to Xiao Tong, everyone began to speculate that the king of the county had accepted a beautiful concubine.
And those who know Xuefu also know that it is the eldest lady of the Lin family.
It's the Lin family again, it's not enough to have a Lin Qing hairpin, and now there is another such indescribable beauty, which really makes people question whether God is too partial.
And after Xiao Tong pulled her to sit down, he also noticed the eyes of other people, and looked at the woman beside him, it is enough to have her in this life, right?
"Why are you smiling like that? I always feel like you're planning something to make me ugly. Xue Yu laughed, and the two hands under the stage were holding each other, but she felt a little relieved.
When the others saw her smile, they couldn't help but gasp, they really felt like a spring breeze.
"Fourth Prince, please be seated. A maid walked to the left of the snow robe and said.
Before she could turn around, she heard a gentle voice: "Sit down!"
There was a sudden momentary rise in her back, and when the shiver came up, she smiled and turned her face to look at the side.
Yu Yao walked over with a gentle face, and the moment she saw the snow robe, her eyes instantly became vicious.
If she was still as gentle as usual, it would be fine, but on the contrary, Xue Cao still looked at her with a delicate smile, her eyes were full of confidence, Li Xunduan also noticed this, and as soon as her eyes came, she was repelled by Xiao Tong's voice.
"Are you a little cold, can I get you a blanket?" After speaking, she took her hand and left domineeringly, she did not resist, Li Xinduan and Yu Yao were both in place, crying and laughing.
After taking two steps, Xue Luo looked back at him, and Xiao Tong said gently: "When you see him, why can you still eat, let's go to the other end." ”
Xue Cao thanked him for his actions, which was really heartwarming.
But he still said, "No need, what's so terrible about this, it's just a man who wants to kill me sitting next to me, can he be more terrible than a poisonous snake that has nowhere to put his feet in the house?"
"You don't have to be afraid of anyone, but you shouldn't make yourself unhappy. Xiao replied.
Both of them were looked at in their eyes with small movements, looking warm and sweet.
After looking at each other, Xiao Tong still took her back to the seat.
At this time, I suddenly found that it was not Yu Yao sitting on the left hand side of the snow robe, but Li Xunduan.
This arrangement, I don't know if it was intentional, after the four of them sat down, the emperor raised his glass to this side, and this time everyone knew.
Nothing good will happen tonight.
Lin Susu and Lin Shanlian also entered the table under the leadership of the palace maid at this time, I don't know if it was the reason why Zhang An was there or what, their positions were still on top.
But Lin Zhanyan still sat in the seat at the end, silently staring at the snow robe in front of him.
As soon as Lin Susu came in, his eyes were looking for Li Xunduan, and after finally settling down, he found a woman beside him, Yu Yao's appearance of light makeup, which was really not very outstanding.
How could Her Highness fall in love with her?
Lin Susu suddenly said: "This is?"
Snow coats?
She sat next to His Highness, talking and laughing, looking bright and moving, what's going on?
Isn't she supposed to die? Or, how could she still be here?
At the moment when they were about to be amazed, Li Xunduan and Xue Yu all looked at them, and Lin Susu immediately put on a bright and innocent smile, as if he was greeting them with his eyes.
Lin Susu was wearing a two-color gold butterfly skirt, with two pretty buns on her head, and a multicolored silk knot with long spikes sparkling, which made her look exquisite, and her round eyes were bright like two jewels, which looked very pleasing.
And in such a dazzling contrast, Lin Shanlian, who looked a little unable to stand up straight, looked very cold.
The light coral-colored dress and the hairpin inlaid with jade jade not only did not add a touch of delicacy to her, but looked too mature and old-fashioned, so that she was not angry at all, and with that expression that could not be laughed, it was really an ugly statue.
Lin Shanlian now looked at Xue Jiao on the other side, and the suppressed excitement in her heart suddenly burst out, and the more she looked at that smiling face, the more she worked towards that, showing a more strange expression.
Lin Susu looked at Lin Shanlian beside her, and smiled coldly in front of her.
When she got out of the carriage, it was too dark, she might have stepped on someone, but it didn't scare her stupid, right?
"What are you doing standing stupidly, don't you sit down?" Lin Susu said in a gentle tone with a smile.
To outsiders, she seemed to be saying something good to Lin Shanlian.
Xue Yu calmed down and carefully looked at the people present today, mainly looking at the lady's seat.
Just because of the embroidery that combines the smell of incense, who will be such a thoughtful person?
At today's banquet, the emperor sat on it, did not act as a master, and looked very easy-going, and the person who spoke was Zhao Guifei and the queen mother who didn't say much.
Zhao Guifei is dressed beautifully today, with a spring breeze on her face, and her hair bun is coiled with five phoenixes hanging from the rising sun, which is very bold.
She just symbolically stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone here tonight is all young people, so there is no need to be restrained. It's time to get lively. ”
Then he raised his glass, signaling that he could move freely, looking at her proud appearance, it seems that the queen's illness is not yet well, and she may be just around the corner to become the queen.
Xue Yu's attention first swept over the people in the opposite seat, and knew no less than ten people, among which Lord Wang's daughter was the most noble one, but he had not heard of the delicate female red, and among this group of people, few seemed to be able to smell this skill.
But, except for one person.
Zuo Lingling......
To talk about this, she still knew it inadvertently in her previous life, at that time, Zuo Lingling married Li Yuduan, and when she went to be a guest, she once saw her holding spices for research, and she knew this.
It's also strange to say that Zuo Lingling doesn't seem to have any talent, but Zuo Taifu taught her such an elegant talent.
However, after a closer look, Xuefu still denied it. Because Zuo Lingling has a high heart and has evidence of violence, he has been unwilling to learn from girls since he was a child, and the screen is so exquisite......
"What are you looking at?" asked Xiao Tong beside her, picking up a piece of green pastry for her and putting it on her plate.
Xue Yu said lightly: "No." ”
The eyes are attracted to another person.
She sat on the opposite seat, wearing a green dress, reflecting her goose egg face, quiet and generous, wearing a red gold plate in her hair, showing the preciousness of her identity, and with a faint smile between her gestures, this is Zeng Anya.
Although she is a daughter raised by her parents, she looks so weak and elegant.
She seemed to find that Xuejiao was looking at her, so she also gave a look back, a little unfamiliar, and then in a blink of an eye, she looked at Li Xunduan beside Xuejiao with some regret. The appearance is grievance, Xue Bao suddenly thought of Yu Yao again, and the look of displeasure on her dead face today is probably the despair of being abandoned......
