Chapter 29: The Lotus Feast
When a refreshing breeze blows, the surface of the pool ripples, and the weeping willows on the stone embankment also dance, showing off its charming and delicate heroic posture. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the willows have passed the most vibrant spring, they are not as green as before, but they are faintly ripe, and the delicate willows have become more flavorful.
The lotus flowers in the pond are scattered and swaying, turbid but not demonic. The slender wicker strips across the lotus leaves blend in with this, adding a bit of coolness to this summer.
It's really "out of the mud without staining", Li Qingcheng said silently.
There is a large open space in the middle of the lotus pond, and the tables are set up one after another, and people have already entered the table in twos and threes. At a glance, Li Tingcheng saw the little bean bag sitting there.
"You're Li Chengcheng?"
The three ten girls stopped in front of Li Qingcheng, and it was the girl in the middle who spoke. About fifteen or sixteen years old, with a very beautiful appearance, wearing a light green shirt, a melon seed face, beautiful and glamorous, and a pair of almond eyes looked at Li Chengcheng defiantly.
Looking at their ill-intentioned eyes, Li Tingcheng thought that he didn't know them.
Piao Yu made a salute and protected Li Tingcheng behind her, and she also saw that the other party was not good.
Li Qingcheng gave Piaoxu a look and stepped forward, she wanted to see what their purpose was.
"I'm Li Chengcheng, I don't know you are-"
Although I don't know each other, let's explore the wind first.
"Listen up. I am Lou Manshan, the granddaughter of Le Guihou. The green girl tilted her chin and looked haughty.
Make sure that she really doesn't know her, and smile meltily, "Then I don't know what Miss Lou is looking for me?" ”
"I'll tell you, stay away from Lord Jin." finally said what he meant, and the two girls next to him also echoed, "Yes, stay away from Lord Jin." ”
Li Qingcheng didn't know how to express his thoughts at the moment, these women were the flower messengers of Emperor Zijin? scolded again in her heart, what did she do.
"I think you've misunderstood......"
Li Chengcheng was about to explain, and the girl in pink next to Lou Manshan was cold, "There is no misunderstanding, we have all seen it." ”
"Yes, we all saw it." The girl in goose yellow clothes was pitiful, holding a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"You look so ugly, why does Lord Jin still hold your hand......"
"Woo...... Lord Jin just took her hand......"
"You must have used foxy tricks to fascinate King Jin."
Listening to what they say, is it really three women in one play? Li Qingcheng and Piaoxu were really speechless.
"Hey-" Seeing that they were still chattering, Li Qingcheng called out again, "Hey-"
The three girls immediately held their voices and looked at Li Chengcheng in unison.
"Well, I think you really misunderstood. You see that you are as beautiful as a fairy, how can Lord Jin take a fancy to me. It must be that you have listened to other people's slander and have been blinded. Well, yes, it must be so. Li Qingcheng said seriously, bluffing them into a daze.
Before they could react, Li Qingcheng slipped away quietly with the fluttering flotsam.
Not to mention that the location of this banquet is really excellent, not to mention that it is the best place to see lotus flowers, this place is backed by several large trees, these big trees are adjacent, the branches are thick, the branches are luxuriant, and most of the sun can be blocked. Not only does it not feel hot, but it is also a little cool.
"Sister Allure, do you know those people just now?" Xiao Doubao just saw Li Chengcheng being stopped by a few girls on the opposite side of the lotus pond, and looked at them chatting familiarly.
"They're the ones who ask for directions."
Li Qingcheng didn't want Xiao Doubao to know that he was embarrassed, so he casually made a reason. Piaofu's eyelids jumped, Miss Li was really good.
The lotus banquet has begun, Emperor Ziyue and He Changmei are sitting on top, and the maidservants are coming out with a lot of snacks.
Princess Jing sat above and didn't know what to say, Li Qingcheng's attention was not here, she looked around, and found no trace of Emperor Zijin.
Li Qingcheng felt uncomfortable, and two hot eyes kept staring at her. One of them came from Di Ziyue, who was sitting above, and the other was Pan Yao, who was sitting diagonally above her.
She continued to act like no one else, eating the snacks on the table, soft and delicious, sweet but not greasy, with a faint fragrance of lotus flowers. This is a special lotus cake, which is delicious, and I ate it piece after piece.
The next thing is a talent session that volunteers to perform, just now that Lou Manshan volunteered, she was going to perform the pipa.
He lightly took out a pipa, and his slender fingers scratched on the pipa, and a clear sound came, like a nightingale tired in the evening, drowsy, and the voice was soft and euphemistic.
In the middle of the night, the rhythm became brisk, as if the moon had risen into the sky, the nightingale fell in the psychedelic of the moonlight, and made a tactful song, and gradually, the rhythm had an infectious force, which spread all around, and the nightingale's song stayed in the moonlight, and it cut its wings away, and trampled the moonlight all over the garden, and the sound stopped abruptly, but the beam seemed to still surround this song.
The sound of praise sounded all around, and Lou Manshan glanced at Li Chengcheng provocatively, and Li Chengcheng almost choked on eating pastries.
I didn't expect Lou Manshan to have such talent, but it didn't match her temperament. Li Qingcheng wiped the pastry residue from the corner of his mouth with his hand and applauded her.
Lou Manshan saw Li Qingcheng's actions like this, thinking that she was pleasing herself, and arrogantly "hummed" back to her position.
I really didn't pay attention to what to perform next, because she had been drowsy, she slept late last night and got up early today, and she was already tired after tossing for so long.
It's not easy to get to the end of the lotus feast, and then go to enjoy the lotus. Li Chengcheng had no energy for a long time, and secretly told Liu Wu to leave.
Li Chengcheng knew that this was very rude, thinking that Di Ziyue should not blame her, so he simply left. Xiaodoubao also wanted to leave, but stayed in order to play with the emperor.
As soon as Li Qingcheng left Emperor Ziyue, he knew it, but as the host, he couldn't leave the guests and chase them out for no reason, and then Shanyi whispered in his ear that Miss Li was tired and returned to the general's mansion.
Emperor Ziyue smiled and ordered someone to follow Li Qingcheng to ensure that she returned to the general's mansion safely. Princess Jing also listened to what Shanyi said, looking at the tenderness hidden in the emperor's eyes, and she didn't know what she felt in her heart. Cheer up and smile at the guests.
Li Chengcheng was not in a hurry to return to the General's Mansion, but went to the Heaven and Earth Gambling House.
"What happened to you?"
Su Jian tied a rope between two trees, reclined on the rope to rest, and when he heard that Li Qingcheng was going to move to the Jinwang Mansion, he closed his eyes to recuperate.
"Hmm." Li Chengcheng didn't expect Su Jian to be so smart, and he thought of something all of a sudden.
"I got up very early today, Jingwangfu sent someone to pick me up and Xiaodoubao, we arrived at Jingwangfu......"
"Getting to the point."
Li Qingcheng suddenly finished speaking, looked at Su Jian cautiously, and told him the reason, the more he continued to talk, the colder Su Jian's face became.
"Hey, don't have that look. I didn't suffer a loss, Pan Yao was kicked by me below......" said a little unspeakable.
Hearing this, Su Jian's eyes opened, turned over, and walked into the house, leaving Li Qingcheng alone.
What's wrong with this man? Is it empathy? I shouldn't have said this just now, Su Jian must have thought I was a. Li Chengcheng was really distressed in his heart.
