Hua Ling angrily pushed the makeup box open and shouted: "What do you have to make it so complicated!"

Jingle, the powder box balm scattered to the ground, and the maids who were waiting immediately stepped aside, bowing their heads and not daring to speak.

General Hua heard the strange noise, rushed from a distance, and when he saw something falling on the ground, he knew what was going on.

He said to Hua Ling solemnly: "Today is a family banquet, and it stands to reason that the family members can arrange another place outside the hall to drink and talk." Emperor Feng Xu will come in person, if you don't give Fan Dai, don't you ignore him?"

Hua Ling said disapprerovitically: "The ancient saying that women are those who please themselves, since they are outside the palace, then there is no need for those!"

"All the children of the important ministers will be there! They are all dressed up brightly, are you alone in the cold? Where do you put my face!" General Hua rebuked.

Hua Ling pursed her lips and was silent.

General Hua turned to the maidservants and said, "Keep drawing! If you don't finish drawing, come and see you!"

When the words fell, he slammed the door shut, leaving a room full of weeping women.

Hua Ling sighed, and had to say, "Don't cry, come and put on makeup for me!"

Then the maidservants stopped crying and groomed her.

At the beginning of the family banquet, the family members did not get to the palace, and the palace people led the daughters of Hua Ling and other important ministers to the back garden.

In the garden, the red roses are blooming brightly, and the faces of the people are contrasting with each other, but the beauty is even more beautiful.

Hua Ling saw that all of them were women, and he already knew in his heart that Emperor Feng should directly finalize his concubine on this opportunity.

She chose a small round table a little farther away and sat alone.

She had come to the city not long ago, and she did not know the women of the great families.

There was a lot of people around, and Hualing couldn't fit in, but he wasn't in a hurry.

She quietly plucked the nine-song peony hairpin from her hair and hid it in her arms.

The hairpin was so eye-catching that she didn't like it at all.

It's best that Emperor Feng ignores himself and doesn't look down on her like this.

Halfway through the wine, a woman came from the archway, dressed in lake blue, very loose and casual, and without any ornaments on her head.

Even so, that appearance is overwhelming, even if she is also a woman, she can't leave her eyes.

The servant girls who were waiting around saluted and called her "Princess Chaoyang".

Hua Ling was stunned, it turned out that she was the eldest princess who grew up with Emperor Feng's childhood sweetheart, and she was the sister who was connected to her blood.

The eldest princess's appearance was not at all like her mother's, but Hua Ling always felt that she had seen it somewhere.

Li Wei raised her eyes and looked around, and immediately found Hua Ling on the side of a bush of roses, she took two steps forward, and grabbed Hua Ling's hand, as if she was very familiar with her: "Sister, it turns out that you are sitting here." ”

"Eldest princess, do you know me?" Hua Ling asked, pointing to herself.

"You look like your uncle. ”

"Let the princess laugh!" Hua Ling was indeed a little ashamed of himself.

Li Wu immediately waved his hand: "I don't mean your appearance... I mean, being pretty doesn't have to be good... No, no, I don't mean you're not pretty enough!"

Liwu has never been flattering, so the more he talked, the more chaotic he became, and in the end he had to close his mouth and stop talking!

Hua Ling covered her lips and chuckled: "I'll say it casually, don't be so serious!"

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them talked about General Hua again, and the atmosphere slowly became harmonious.

There were many unconvinced eyes around, Hua Ling thought to himself, everyone knew that Emperor Feng had always loved Princess Chaoyang, and set the name of the country with the word dynasty. She is so friendly with the princess, others must think that she is trying to please Emperor Feng by relying on this.

It's just that Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, how many people really understand her mind?

"See Your Majesty!!" The women who were originally talking around all knelt and saluted.

Hua Ling's heart jumped, and before he could see the person clearly, he knelt down according to the etiquette.

Li Wei only owed slightly, and then asked Ziyu: "You won't put down all those courtiers again, right?"

Haruka heard a voice and replied with a smile: "Almost." Everyone, get up!"

The voice was familiar, and Hua Ling suddenly raised his head.

The golden clothes, there are bandit gentlemen, warm as jade, and they are walking towards her.

It's him, it's him!

Her brain was booming, and her heart was beating wildly.

Ah Chang said that he would see each other, so did Emperor Feng go to see her secretly at that time?

She knew that her stunned expression must have made her laugh, but she remained motionless.

Ziyu found Hua Ling, and said softly: "You should get up too!"

Li Wu immediately went to help her, and Hua Ling stood up in a daze.

It's just that she has mixed feelings in her heart, and the joy after the encounter has washed away all Fang Cai's self-pity.

Hua Ling suddenly felt flustered, knowing that it was such a scene, she would not dress up more carefully, and the nine-curved peony hairpin should also be carried.

She quietly touched her hair bun, and that small action fell in Ziyu's eyes.

She rarely goes out, and she is afraid that she wants to see her attitude and results this time.

As long as she likes it, he will give it all to her, Ziyu thought humbly.

So, he raised his hand and picked a rose flower at random, put it on Hua Ling's hairpin for him, and said with a smile: "This flower blooms well, and it is better with you." ”

Hua Ling's cheeks immediately turned red to the root of her ears, she looked up at Emperor Feng, and saw that his smile was still on her lips, but her eyes were clear, and she couldn't see the slightest color of joy.

"Brother is biased, so many people only pick flowers for Sister Ling'er to wear!" said with a pretended anger from the worries.

Ziyu didn't reply, but picked a few more flowers and gave them to other women.

Hua Ling looked at it silently, and those originally full of joy were mixed with a trace of helplessness. This man is the powerful Emperor Feng, and it is destined that she cannot be the only woman.

After doing this, Ziyu asked Liwu: "Are you satisfied now?"

Li Wei pointed to his hair, and Ziyu smiled, immediately understanding.

It's just that this time it's different, he searched very carefully, as if he wanted to choose this one and see another one more beautiful.

After a while, he was pleased to find that the lone show at the head of the wall was really dangerous.

He jumped to his feet and took it off with one hand.

Xu was careless, the rose stabbed his palm, but he didn't care, pointed to the worry and said, "Come here, I'll wear it for you." ”

Hua Ling was closest to them, and she turned her head to look at Emperor Feng, and the expression on his face was genuinely joyful.

Li Wu found some blood on Ziyu's palm, and immediately said, "I came out in a hurry, I didn't wear a veil, I don't know if Sister Ling'er has it?"

Hua Ling immediately understood, she took out a handkerchief from her arms, and gently tied it for Emperor Feng, carefully.

Ziyu nodded in gratitude.

Then, he turned around indifferently and said something to the palace people around him before leaving.

The small banquet in the back garden continued, but everyone's words had already gone from flower appreciation to Emperor Feng's body.

Soon, I saw Ah Chang send Li Wu back, and Hua Ling became alone again.

She stroked the roses on her sideburns, looked at the liveliness and coldness of the garden, and thought sweetly in her heart, if she was such a person, she would be willing to entrust her for life!

Soon, Emperor Feng issued a call and accepted four concubines.

They are General Hua's daughter Hua Ling, Yu Guoshi's niece Lan Xin, Wen Shangshu's daughter Wen Silian and General Zeng's daughter Zeng Qianyue.

Emperor Feng advocated that everything should be simple, so the four concubines would be brought into the palace on the same day, and the date would be set for the next month.

General Hua heard the story of Emperor Feng folding flowers and offering beauty from others, and his face was overjoyed.

He took the time to look at the worries, and the two chatted a few words.

"Don't take your mother's affairs too seriously, women will always be more sad when they reach that age. ”

Li Wu lowered his eyes and said softly: "If my uncle has the opportunity, I hope to help me persuade her more!"

General Hua immediately agreed: "Don't say this! It's just that I can't tell your name in front of her, and she will drive me out at the mention of her, and I don't know if I have fallen into some kind of demonic wind!"

"Then don't mention me, I just hope she's okay!" sighed lightly.

General Hua saw that this topic made people sad, so he changed the subject: "Emperor Feng seems to be very satisfied with Ling Er. After Ling Er met Emperor Feng, she also changed her previous attitude of resistance, this change was too sudden, and even I didn't understand what happened in the middle. ”

Li Wei smiled: "Uncle, do you really think that is the first time they have met?"

General Hua was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

He laughed: "It's still worrying and smart, but we old people have been tricked around." ”

Away from the sorrow and smiled, it was rare to see her uncle so happy, and her mood was much better.

"I heard that Yu Cheng once proposed to you, but you refused?"

Li was stunned, and then nodded.

"You don't like him?"

"Like, but not in love. Li Wu replied.

"You already belong to your heart, and where is it?"

After a pause, he said, "No." ”

General Hua sighed heavily: "Fortunately, Yu Cheng will not persecute you, you must know that you are born as the eldest princess of this unsuccessful country, and your marriage is not up to you." According to my uncle, while Emperor Feng is still willing to let you, you choose a suitable place for yourself, and the matter of feelings must be cultivated slowly. Your uncle and your aunt were also ordered to marry back then, and now they are not very affectionate. ”

Li Wei smiled faintly: "I understand what my uncle meant, but Sorrow may not be as good as you." You know, I'm used to being wild, and I'm afraid it's hard for the children of the big family to tolerate me. ”

General Hua frowned: "I shouldn't have taken care of your marriage, but recently there has been a major drought on the southern border, and the war is urgent.

"Liguo..."I think of the wolf-like Nan Zhi, the days in Liguo are free and casual, people are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and they do not restrain their feelings with order.

Thinking of this, Li Wei suddenly smiled: "I understand my uncle's kindness, and if I want to sacrifice, I won't fight." Only now, I can still call the shots, and I want to live by my own will. ”

When General Hua saw that she insisted on doing so, he no longer persuaded her, but when he finally left, he said: "After that night, the women in this palace began to take hairpins as beautiful, and those pearls and jade rings were gone, and Emperor Feng's move unintentionally caused a wind of frugality. ”

"No wonder the flowers in this garden are gone, and they are all on the head of the beauty." ”

General Hua said goodbye with a smile: "There are many things in Ling'er that still require me to go to Zhang Luo, so I will leave first!"

Li Wu got up and sent him off, until General Hua left, and the palace returned to tranquility.

She turned back into her room and opened the two small boxes in the middle of the floor.

She stroked quietly, smiling at the corners of her lips, all the gadgets in the box were given by Mo Yi, and behind each one there was a friendship that she would never forget.
