Chapter 14 Visiting the Garden
At this moment, Cai Wei also saw Huo Yuan, and saw that he was raising a glass to greet him through the curved railing, so she couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, smile lightly, and bow her head to him slightly.
It's just that the charming smile made those sons and brothers who were probing their brains peeking at her suddenly stunned, and the girl's smile was dazzling like a hundred flowers blooming in an instant.
Even Huo Yuan, who had always been gentle and calm, was a little in a trance.
He always thought that she was beautiful enough, and any deliberate dress would destroy her original beauty, so she was most suitable for elegant dress, which could not only show her beauty and refinement, but also not hide her orchid-like charm.
However, she is dressed up today, she is so bright and moving, beautiful and incomprehensible, she has a charming and natural elegance, which is unforgettable, this kind of dress is not inferior to her with light makeup!
Probably, this is the so-called 'heavy makeup is always appropriate'!
"Hey, hey! Huo Gongzi, do you know that girl? ”
During the banquet, there were sharp-eyed people who could see that the beauty was smiling at Huo Yuan, and they didn't feel sour and asked.
Huo Yuan didn't shy away from it, and said in a moist voice: "Recognize!" ”
"Oh? Where is that girl? ”
"Have you ever been engaged?"
Huo Yuan's acquaintance made all the sons and brothers interested, hula and gathered around, competing to ask questions.
Huo Yuan glanced at the eager faces of all the sons, and laughed indifferently, laughing enough, before he spoke.
"Don't bother to inquire anymore, that girl is already famous!"
"What? So soon to have a master? Who is it? Who hired her? ”
I heard that the beauty is already famous, everyone is very discouraged, and some people are unwilling to ask, it seems that if the family who hires the beauty is low, they will rob people with a knife.
However, Huo Gongzi didn't want to say more, and only said: "Everyone will know later." ”
He stopped, holding a tea cup covered with blue and white bowls, and drank tea leisurely, feeling extremely good......
The other side of the waterfront pavilion
The flowers are red and willow green, the fat is fragrant, and the nobles who should be invited to participate in the Queen's Shangsi Festival are all dressed up and attended, and they wanted to have a blockbuster and amaze the audience, but unexpectedly a glamorous woman suddenly appeared, and instantly reduced them all to foil!
Someone once said that the best way to make a group of beautiful women unhappy at the same time is to find a woman who is more beautiful than all of them.
Cai Wei's appearance is undoubtedly the factor that makes everyone unhappy at the same time, because of her arrival, the originally confident ladies have been hit hard, and the lively and harmonious scene has also been cold for a while.
However, although the young ladies have grievances, they are all cultivated by everyone in the world, and they are all like monkeys, because they see Cai Wei wearing a lot of luxury, and only a few pieces of jewelry on her head are worth thousands of gold, so they don't know her details, and they don't dare to offend her rashly.
There are even smarter ones, seeing that Cai Wei's appearance is too outstanding, thinking that she will have an opportunity in the future, so he befriended her in advance.
"Miss, the carving of this pair of white jade rope bracelets on your wrist is really fine, it's the craftsmanship of the Ingenuity Building, right?"
A round-faced young lady at the same table came over and talked to Cai Wei in a friendly manner.
Cai Wei looked at the kind-hearted young lady, and then looked at the mutton fat white jade bracelet on her wrist, and said with a smile: "Miss is really good eyesight, this thing is from the Ingenuity Building." ”
The round-faced young lady smiled, and said with a little smugness: "My eyes are the most poisonous, who wears jewelry, clothes, as long as I can see which silver building and which embroidery workshop it is from, and it will not be wrong!" ”
After speaking, he pointed to Cai Wei's shirt and said: "This gown on the young lady is from the hand of Liu Sigu, the best embroiderer in the Shu embroidery workshop, this dress is worth three hundred taels of silver just for the embroidery, and the skirt is also from the Shu embroidery workshop, but it is not Liu Sigu's craftsmanship, it looks like the work is from Aunt An's hand, and the lady's embroidered shoes ......"
The round-faced young lady was very talkative, chattering endlessly, and soon became acquainted with Cai Wei.
After talking, Cai Wei learned that she was the daughter of the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jian'an, named Wu Xiangyun, sixteen years old this year, and it was the third time she had participated in the Shangsi Festival banquet of the queen's mother.
Cai Wei also told her frankly about her identity, Xiangyun is a very good person, and she did not look down on her because of Cai Wei's humble background, but was very interested in Cai Wei's experience.
"Caiwei, so the kebab you invented is delicious?"
"So to speak!"
"Oh, then another day, I'll have to try it myself, no, I'll go tonight."
Wu Xiangyun nodded, "Well, it's decided!" ”
Cai Wei likes Xiangyun's personality very much, she is cheerful, straightforward, unpretentious, and very sincere, I don't know how many times stronger than Du Wanqiu next to her.
Du Wanqiu sat down from where she almost didn't speak, holding a reserved young lady's appearance, but a pair of eyes looked left and right, and swept to the male guest seat on the left from time to time, I don't know who she fancied?
Cai Wei didn't understand her behavior, and just waited to see the noble queen mother. It's not early at this time, everyone has already arrived, the queen hasn't shown up yet, and the royal people have come to a few weak-crowned princes and a few low-status concubines, and none of the big people who can hold up the scene have arrived.
Cai Wei has never participated in a royal banquet, and she doesn't know the rules of a royal banquet, but she thinks privately that this kind of guest has arrived, but the host's behavior of not even showing his face is very bad, and others must think the same way, but they don't dare to say it.
Just thinking about it, a big eunuch came over with a stubborn brush, and said in a sharp voice: "The queen will arrive later, the queen has a will, please have fun by yourself, don't be restrained." ”
Since the queen mother has not yet come, and it seems that she will not come in a short time, many people have left the table and are enjoying themselves in groups in the imperial garden.
It's just that everyone has a tacit understanding to avoid the waterfront pavilion in the middle, and most of them play on the promenade around the lake, sitting on the beauty under the porch, blowing the warm breeze, looking at the scenery in the distance, not to mention how comfortable they are.
There are also a few young sons and sons of the family, who went directly to the painting boat, and asked the little eunuch who supported the boat to take them on a closer tour to have a good time.
Du Wanru pretended to be Cai Wei's girl, followed behind Cai Wei, a pair of beautiful eyes and Du Wanqiu, flew to the men's seat from time to time, and saw several young nobles leaving the table and walking along the curved corridor by the lake into the distance, so she encouraged Cai Wei to also go out for a walk and relax.
Cai Wei was full of thoughts, all she was thinking about was how to deal with the queen later, and how could she be in the mood to go out for a walk, so she categorically refused.
However, Wu Xiangyun, who had just met him, was a lively person, and when he saw Cai Wei's girl pouting, he was unconsciously moved. Anyway, the queen won't come over for a while, so it's better to take the opportunity to go shopping, after all, they don't have the opportunity to visit the imperial garden every day!
Thinking of this, he pulled Cai Wei and had to go out with her.
Cai Wei was pulled out by her without saying anything, so she had to follow her helplessly, and walked along the curved corridor by the lake to the depths of the imperial garden.
Soon, the helplessness in her heart was washed away by the beauty of the imperial garden.
The Imperial Garden is worthy of being a royal garden, and it is so beautiful that it is like a fairyland on earth.
The endless Royal Lake, the hazy and ethereal fairy mountain islands in the lake, all kinds of pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, and all kinds of gorgeous palaces are intertwined, and anyone who sees them will be shocked.
On the other side of the lakeside, the pine and cypress become a forest, verdant and lush, all kinds of rare birds and beasts leap in the meantime, the eyes are dizzying, the flowers under the tree are like brocade, graceful and colorful, the distance faintly exposes the double corridor and the palace, magnificent and magnificent, just like the dragon city palace in general, the scenery is like a picture scroll, it is natural, it makes people intoxicated.
Unconsciously, Cai Wei and Xiangyun walked onto the Yuhe Bridge, standing on a high place, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Garden from afar.
Looking at it, Du Wanru behind Cai Wei suddenly said: "Girl, I'm a little upset, please girl later, I'll come when I go." ”
Cai Wei had already seen her little thoughts, but she didn't bother to pay attention to her, so she smiled lightly and let her go.
"Go ahead! If I'm not here when I come back later, I'll go back to the Linshui Pavilion and look for me. ”
"Yes, thank you, girl!"
Du Wanru gratefully blessed her body, and flew too.
Wu Xiangyun looked at her back, pouted, and muttered, "Cai Wei, why don't I think you are a girl?" ”
Cai Wei smiled: "Let her go, let's play ours!" ”
Xiangyun listened, nodded, and agreed, "Well, it's okay, she is an eyesore in front of us!" ”
Wu Xiangyun is a straight person, if she likes it, if she doesn't like it, if she doesn't like it, although she likes the newly met sister Caiwei, she doesn't like her girl very much, the girl is dressed as a demon Qiaoqiao, with a pair of beautiful eyes, she looks restless, can send her away, she can't ask for it!
Du Wanru disappeared, Xiangyun took Cai Wei's arm, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Cai Wei, let's go to the Cai Yue Pavilion in front of us." ”
"Okay!"
Anyway, there is nothing to do now, instead of waiting anxiously for the queen's summons, it is better to calm down and take a good view.
The moon pavilion is built in the imperial lake, looking at it from afar, the water is bright and bright, it is suspected to be the fairy mountain pavilion, the moon pavilion in the water is painted with bead curtains, the light ripples, the pavilion is surrounded by orchid grass, in the surrounding water, there is also a gorgeous painting boat dragon boat, you can take a boat at any time to visit the scenery in general.
The two walked down the Yuhe Bridge hand in hand, turned a small forest, and just approached the Moon Picking Pavilion, when they suddenly saw two more young women dressed in gorgeous clothes in the pavilion.
Both women were dressed in luxury, one of them was slightly taller, and was unusually beautiful, and looked a little kind, but I don't remember where I saw it.
She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a silk embroidered silk grass cloud goose wide-sleeved double silk Lingluan robe, a butterfly and a hundred flowers smoke phoenix tail skirt, combing a high Wangxian nine mustache bun on her head, wearing a beaded emerald gold hairpin with beads, a beaded flower made of pink pearls and a tired silk golden phoenix stepping.
The other one, wearing a gold button peony pattern Shu brocade dress, Su embroidered Yuehua skirt, white and beautiful, black and soft long hair tied on the top of the head, combed into a Luan Feng falling cloud bun, only a delicate ruby inlaid begonia flower on the bun, looks both elegant and luxurious.
Behind these two women, there stood a large group of maids, grandmothers and several eunuchs, who were not ordinary people at first glance.
"Caiwei, let's go!"
Xiangyun quietly pulled La Caiwei's hand and whispered: "The two girls in the pavilion are Princess Zhaoyang from the queen's mother and Li Ruizhu, the daughter of the general who protects the country, they are not from us all the way, so don't come forward to see each other!" ”
Cai Wei looked at the two women in the pavilion and said, "It's okay, let's go!" ”
After speaking, the two quietly turned around, intending to leave.
However, someone had already seen their arrival and reported it to Princess Chaoyang and Li Ruizhu as soon as possible.
"Stop, the princess called you back!"
A young eunuch screamed at a shrill voice behind Cai Wei and Xiangyun.
Cai Wei looked at Xiangyun helplessly, and secretly prayed in her heart, I hope she won't be affected by her!
