Chapter 21: A Silent Lotus 3
The breeze blew intermittently over the pond, carrying bursts of lotus incense to Leng Qing and Wang Quan, who were sitting by the pond. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
For Wang Quan's emotion, Leng Qing, who was sitting side by side with Wang Quan, did not say anything, Leng Qing just sat quietly, quietly looking at the vibrant lotus flowers blooming in the pond in front of her, quietly feeling the coolness of the breeze, and the crisp fragrance of lotus sandwiched in the wind.
didn't get Leng Qing's response, Wang Quan didn't feel embarrassed, and he had to find something to talk to Leng Qing endlessly.
From the origin of the Qinshan gathering, to what ingredients should be paired with lotus root and lotus seeds, and then to how to deal with those ingredients, Wang Quan didn't care whether Leng Qing liked to listen to it or not, and he talked endlessly.
Leng Qing is a quiet person, if it is an important topic, Leng Qing can listen carefully, but for those irrelevant topics, Leng Qing has never liked to listen.
At the beginning, when Wang Quan talked about the origin of the Qinshan gathering, Leng Qing did listen carefully, but then Wang Quan suddenly changed the topic and chatted with Leng Qing about recipes...... Leng Qing only felt that the green tendons in the corners of her forehead began to beat.
After listening to Wang Quan's nagging for a few minutes with such patience, Leng Qingxu couldn't bear it anymore, and finally opened her mouth and threw a sentence to Wang Quan coldly: "If you are long-winded, I will push you down." ”
Wang Quan, who was sitting next to Leng Qing, was talking about Xingtou, and the expression on his face could be described as eyebrows flying, but as soon as he heard Leng Qing's words, Rao is Wang Quan immediately shut up and honestly quieted down.
Without Wang Quan nagging endlessly, Leng Qing only felt that the world was beautiful.
Just sat quietly by the pond with Wang Quan for a while, Leng Qing suddenly heard a voice behind her: "Niangniang, the slave maid heard the guards guarding the palace on Qinshan yesterday say that there is a pond in front of it, and the pond is full of lotus flowers at this time, but it is beautiful, let's go there and take a look!"
"It's fine. A soft, soft female voice came.
As the gentle and soft woman's voice fell, the footsteps behind her became clearer and clearer.
Leng Qing has not practiced ear power, but Leng Qing is a practitioner after all, and after listening carefully, he can still judge from the footsteps that the number of the other party is not large, only about five or six people.
Wang Quan has internal strength, his ear power is beyond ordinary people, and the voice that Leng Qing can hear, Wang Quan naturally hears it more clearly.
Unlike Leng Qing, Wang Quan could clearly hear that there were seven people on the other side just holding his breath a little, and judging from the footsteps of the other party landing and the sound of dead leaves and broken branches being trampled on the ground, all seven of them were women, but the footsteps of one of them were slightly heavier than the other six, which meant that this person's posture was taller or more mellow than the other six.
Wang Quan, who was sitting by the pond, turned his head and glanced at Leng Qing, both of them saw the same look from each other's faces-well, it doesn't matter if someone comes, anyway, this place is outside the scope of the palaces of various countries, and it does not belong to any of the nine countries, it is not surprising that someone will come here, but they came first, and they will not retreat.
Thinking like this, Wang Quan and Leng Qing turned their heads again and continued to enjoy the lotus flowers calmly.
After just a few breaths, Wang Quan and Leng Qing heard the footsteps behind them becoming clearer and clearer, but just when the footsteps were so clear that they seemed to be close to their ears, the seven footsteps suddenly disappeared together.
Before Leng Qing and Wang Quan, who were sitting by the pond, could react, an imposing voice came from behind them: "Who are you?"
As soon as she heard this voice, Leng Qing remembered that it was the crisp little girl's voice that sounded at the beginning.
On this side, Leng Qing and Wang Quan, who were sitting by the pond, heard the sound, glanced at each other, and then looked back together.
Because the slope is gentle, although the slope is more than ten meters long, the slope is not even thirty degrees, so although Wang Quan and Leng Qing are sitting at the bottom of the slope, they can still see clearly - on the small slope full of red and white flowers behind them, there are seven women standing in front of and behind them.
The woman's three thousand green silk was combed into a fallen horse bun, and on the bun was a golden phoenix hairpin with wings ready to fly, which refracted a somewhat dazzling golden light in the afternoon sun. Wang Quan and Leng Qing didn't pay attention when they looked back, and their eyes were dazzled by the golden light refracted by the golden phoenix hairpin.
Although the woman wore a golden phoenix hairpin on her head that only royal officials from all countries (queens, princesses, concubines and princesses) could wear, her clothes looked very simple and ordinary - a peach-colored full-breasted skirt made of satin fabric, and a sky-blue shawl on both arms, simple and cool clothes.
The woman's skirt was not the floor-mopping style, and the skirt was only up to the woman's ankles, revealing a pair of embroidered shoes with pink uppers on the woman's feet. But the sky-blue shawl on the woman's arm was dragged out on the ground for a long time, matching the skirt, which looked a little incongruous.
The woman led by the Lingdi General looked at it, Leng Qing thought about it, and summed it up in one sentence - that is a woman who is not low-status, but does not like to show off, and advocates simplicity.
The woman with the hairpin and the hairpin at the head was followed by six teenage girls, each of whom wore a hanging bun with light green beaded flowers on the bun, and wore a light orange long-sleeved coat, the hem of which was tied into a water-red wrap-chest dress, and a long light orange ribbon was tied under the chest, and a bow was tied directly below the chest.
Looking at the clothes of the six little girls, Leng Qing thought about it, well, it is very much the style of the Tang Dynasty court.
Although Leng Qing could tell the age of the six little girls at a glance, what about the age of the woman with the golden hairpin......
Leng Qing can only say - sorry!
Although Leng Qing seriously looked at the woman with the hairpin and the golden phoenix hairpin several times, the woman with the hairpin and the golden phoenix hairpin also let Leng Qing look at it very generously, but Leng Qing really couldn't see the actual age of the other party!
Although the woman with the hairpin and the golden phoenix hairpin is without makeup, but even so, the woman with the hairpin and the golden phoenix hairpin is still as beautiful as a heavenly person, both in appearance and figure, she is impeccablely beautiful, and this excessive beauty covers her actual age!
Yan Qingqiu is indeed the most beautiful woman Leng Qing has seen in this other world so far, there is no doubt about it, but the beauty of the woman with the hairpin and the golden phoenix hairpin is not much better than Yan Qingqiu's beauty.
If Yan Qingqiu is the most beautiful is her face, then the woman with a golden hairpin in front of Leng Qing, although she also has a bright and moving face, but her most beautiful thing is the kind of temperament that she invisibly exudes, the kind of noble and honest, but people can't help but want to be close.
If Yan Qingqiu is a delicate peony in full bloom, although noble but with a kind of momentum that is isolated from people, then this woman with a golden hairpin is like a lotus flower that is not stained by mud, noble and approachable at the same time.
In short, due to these reasons, the only thing Leng Qing could see was that the woman with the hairpin and the golden phoenix hairpin was definitely older than the six little girls behind her, and older than Yan Qingqiu. But how much older is the woman with the hairpin and the golden phoenix hairpin, and whether she is older than her Leng Qing, Rao Leng Qing can't tell.
Just as Leng Qing stared at the woman with the hairpin and the golden phoenix hairpin, a round-faced little palace maid standing behind the woman with the hairpin and golden phoenix hairpin opened her mouth again, and rushed at Wang Quan and Leng Qing, who were sitting by the pond at the bottom of the slope, and shouted: "Bold! Who would allow you to stare at my mother like this! If you look at it again, you will gouge out your eyes!!"
Before Leng Qing and Wang Quan could react to this scolding, the round-faced little palace maid shouted again: "Our lady wants to enjoy the flowers here, and the idle people will quickly retreat!"
As soon as Wang Quan heard this reprimand, he immediately replied to the other party with a smile: "Yo he! How can you speak? Is this place encircled by you or what? Why do we have to let you come?"
Originally, Yan Ziming's face looked like a disaster for the country and the people, but now it was made a little more charming by Wang Quan's deliberate smile, so it was not just a disaster for the country and the people, it was simply a soul seducer!!
Leng Qing could see clearly that when Wang Quan was smiling like this, several little palace maids behind the woman with a golden hairpin and a hairpin all looked at Wang Quan beside her and quietly blushed, only the woman with a golden hairpin and the round-faced little palace maid behind her left who shouted were calm on their faces.
"Our mother likes to be quiet, and she doesn't like to be disturbed, since our mother wants to enjoy the flowers here, you naturally have to back down. What replied to Wang Quan was the straightforward words of the round-faced little palace maid.
When Wang Quan heard this, he laughed even more charmingly, but Wang Quan's words were a little vulgar and scoundrel: "Hey, little girl, Lao Tzu won't let me, what can you do with me!!"
Leng Qing, who was sitting beside Wang Quan, heard this, and glanced at Wang Quan silently, with a subtle expression on her face.
Leng Qing was thinking if the person sitting next to her now was the real Yan Ziming, if this vulgar and scoundrel sentence was spit out from the mouth of the real Yan Ziming......
Thinking about it, Leng Qing couldn't help but tremble, and scattered the terrifying thoughts in her mind: Fortunately, she knew that this person was Wang Quan's disguise, otherwise this painting style would be too distorted!!
On that side, the round-faced little palace maid heard Wang Quan's words, and she was probably choked by Wang Quan's vulgar and scoundrel-like words, and she didn't say anything again for a long time.
After a long while, the round-faced little palace maid shouted: "Bold!!Do you know who our mother is?"
"It doesn't matter who you are, Lao Tzu won't let me, you have the ability to bite me!" Almost at the moment when the round-faced little palace maid's words fell, Wang Quan replied to the round-faced little palace maid like this, and the face of the country and the people was completely cheap.
I don't know where Wang Quan's words were wrong, in short, after Wang Quan said this, the round-faced little palace maid was silent for a while, and her face turned red.
After a long time, the round-faced little palace maid scolded Wang Quan: "What a presumptuous!!shameless person!!"
was scolded so much by the round-faced little palace maid, Wang Quan smiled more cheerfully, and laughed for a long time with his mouth wide open, laughing so much that Leng Qing next to him frequently glanced at him sideways.
After laughing for a long time, Wang Quan suddenly stopped laughing, and then, Wang Quan said to the round-faced little palace maid with such a wicked expression: "Why is Lao Tzu so presumptuous, how can he be shameless?
"You, you, you, you ......" Listening to Wang Quan's words, the round-faced little palace maid's face changed slightly, she opened her mouth, and spit out several words "you" in a row, but she couldn't say any other words.
Leng Qing knew that it was Wang Quan's expression just now that was too vivid and frightened the round-faced little palace maid.
From the very beginning, Leng Qing, who was sitting by the pond, had been watching Wang Quan and the round-faced little palace maid standing on the small slope full of red and white flowers fighting with cold eyes, and silently heard that now, Leng Qing suddenly felt very strange-
Why did the woman with the hairpin and the golden phoenix hairpin quietly let Wang Quan and the palace maid beside her choke each other, without the slightest intention of stopping it?
Although Leng Qing didn't know the specific identity of the woman with the golden phoenix hairpin, since she could wear the golden phoenix hairpin, her identity must not be low. Judging from the name of the round-faced little palace maid to the woman with the hairpin and the golden phoenix, there is a good chance that the woman with the hairpin and the golden phoenix hairpin is the concubine of the prince of the other eight countries who came to Qinshan to participate in the party this time, that is, the crown princess of which country.
Feng Ming Kingdom is a woman in power, and all the concubines are men, so the woman with the hairpin and the golden phoenix hairpin is definitely not from Feng Ming Kingdom, that is, the crown princess of the prince of the remaining seven kingdoms.
Since she is the crown princess of a country and can come to Qinshan with her prince and husband to attend such an important gathering, there must be no doubt about her communication.
But now the attitude of the woman with the golden hairpin is completely like she is conniving at the round-faced little palace maid beside her to cause trouble for her, which is really strange!
couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking, and Leng Qing was worried that Wang Quan's temperament would make things bigger, so when the round-faced little palace maid finished speaking, Leng Qing raised her hand and patted Wang Quan's shoulder beside her, and reminded in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you don't want to go down to take a bath, don't make trouble, stay honest." ”
was threatened by Leng Qing like this, where did Wang Quan dare to cause trouble, but Wang Quan has never been such a submissive person, at least Wang Quan's mouth will never be submissive.
So, I saw Wang Quan turn his head to look at Leng Qing who was sitting beside him, and squinted his eyes and whispered to Leng Qing: "It was they who provoked first, and I just replied a few words." ”
Leng Qing didn't answer, only threw Wang Quan a roll of his eyes, and the threat was very obvious.
Receiving Leng Qing's white eyes, Wang Quan finally quieted down and said nothing. Ten years ago, he still had lingering palpitations. (To be continued.) )
