Chapter 75: Going to the palace banquet with no makeup

readx;

Liu Fuquan's arrival was like a merciless spring cold, which made the new buds that had just formed in Yunyang's heart wither quickly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the afternoon, Yunyang and the palace people stayed in the courtyard to pass the time, and the red glow on the horizon gradually rose, reflecting the deep and shallow autumn trees and decaying grass in the courtyard.

Yin Lu and Pu Xia sat side by side on the edge of the verandah, holding a dustpan, twisting colored threads in their hands, twisting brocade, and preparing to make a cage hand.

Sui Su and Hairpin Xing sat opposite each other at the stone table, and there was a box of "Yan Ji Tu" on the table, and they took it out to spell kittens and puppies to play, and from time to time they made fun of each other.

Ju Liu, Zi Kui and several mothers of Yi Fangzhai sat around and watched Feng Chunxing perform a puppet show for them.

Probably because they rarely saw it, they pulled Feng Chunxing and asked where to ask, and the little puppet was passed around in their hands. The pot and the flat pole on duty at the gate of the palace stretched their necks from time to time to look this way.

Yun Yang left the crowd of enthusiastic and laughing, walked alone to the small pond next to the verandah, picked the flower bone of a golden wheel chrysanthemum, crumpled it in the palm of his hand, and gently sprinkled it in the pond water, attracting red and golden koi, competing to spit bubbles out.

At this time, the smoke clouds of dusk enveloped the glazed tiles on the roof of the hall, the twilight gradually blurred the path between the flowers, the pink pearl curtain with uniform particles was half rolled in the autumn wind, and the copper bells under the eaves were rattling because of the wind.

remembered that when Zhao Yuan sent the evening of the fireflies, it was probably this time, but at that time, the hosta flowers were still blooming, fragrant through the courtyard. His eyes were full of golden dragon robes and jade hairpins, and his mood rose and fell with him, drifting with him, and he never expected that there would be a day when Lang's heart was like iron and he would make a decision.

At this time, things are not people, although people come and go in the courtyard, laughing and talking, but he is not there, everything has lost its vitality, the courtyard is full of empty leaves, and only dead branches are left in front of him......

At this time, I heard the palace door squeak open, and Qu Jun's thin and sweet voice floated in: "The old slave came to invite the concubine Niangniang by the queen's decree." ”

Yun Yang heard the voice, slowly stood up, raised his hand and gently sorted out the seven things hidden in the bright silk skirt.

At this time, Qu Jun had already come to her, gave a salute first, and then said, "Concubine Niangniang is fine." The queen's millennial festival is approaching, and the emperor has taken pity and has lifted the queen's grounding. ”

Yun Yang smiled faintly when he heard this: "Congratulations to the queen mother." ”

"You said that it was a coincidence or not, the King of Alcohol also came with good news from the border pass, and repelled several Khitan attacks, but it showed the national prestige of my Great Qi. The emperor's dragon heart is happy, and tonight he will hold a banquet in the palace at Cuihu Xuan, and hope that the concubine will participate. ”

Yunyang nodded and said, "The queen mother has such a happy event, and the palace will definitely go to congratulate her." ”

After Qu Jun left, Yun Yang took a look at the red glow in the sky that was about to recede, a crescent moon hung on the treetops, and the palace banquet was about to begin.

She turned back to Sui Su and Yinlu and said, "I'm afraid it's too late to change clothes, so you can comb your hair for the palace first." ”

Sui Jian Yunyang is wearing a blue melon seed Luo narrow-sleeved regular dress today, and the collar and cuffs are inlaid with lambskin of the same color. The shoulders are draped with lake blue twisted silver silk fahua yarn pomegranate pattern drapery, and the head is only decorated with a silver-dotted jade inlaid white peony peacock heart.

Even though there is nothing wrong with dressing up, it is too plain in the end.

Yin Lu also felt the same way, so he stepped forward and whispered: "Niangniang will see the emperor tonight...... It's better to go later and dress up carefully, maybe the emperor's dragon heart will also turn. ”

Yunyang heard the words "the dragon's heart is still turning", which aroused the resentment in her heart, she bit her lip and said: "The dragon's heart is in the sky, it is difficult to figure it out, and it is not up to us to do it if it is not turned back." ”

"Now this palace is guilty, it is not appropriate to dress up too brightly, it is better to be clumsy."

Seeing that she was determined to vomit with the emperor, Sui Xuan and Yin Lu couldn't say anything more, so they could only do as she was told.

Before going out, Yin Lu carefully remembered one thing: "Niangniang, just now Qu Jun said that the palace banquet is in Cuihu Xuan, where there is fine white river sand all around, and it is easy to fall into trouble. ”

"It's better to replace the green feather filled coral stone cloud brocade shoes with thick-soled tortoiseshell sunflower knot shoes, and it is much safer to walk on the sand."

Yun Yang thought about it, and stroked the back of Yinlu's hand coquettishly: "You are still as careful as a hair, if you don't remind you like this, I'm afraid that this palace will be ugly when it arrives outside the Green Lake Xuan." ”

After changing into embroidered shoes, Yin Lu stuffed a few pieces of warm and refreshing golden ginger and plum candy into the beaded blue satin purse around Yunyang's waist, and then let her go out with confidence.

Yunyang sat on the step mill and went to Cuihu Xuan with Suiyun.

But before he could walk a hundred feet, he saw a figure flash behind the big tree next to the stone path in front of him. Take a closer look, isn't it Qu Jun who came to deliver the message just now?

I saw him shake off the dust in his hand, and with a smile, he bowed to Yunyang and said, "Please cure the old slave's stupid sin." ”

Yunyang was stunned by his sudden request, and said slowly: "What is the crime of Gonggong Qu?" ”

Qu Jun said with remorse: "Due to the cold wind at night, the emperor decided to change the night banquet to Longkang Palace. The old slave notified the wrong location, let Niangniang's steps walk in vain, and asked Niangniang to punish the crime. ”

Yun Yang waved his hand: "This palace has just come out of Qi Ao Palace, and it is not in vain that I walked, since this is the case, let's go to Longkang Palace." ”

When he walked to Longkang Palace, Yun Yang was faintly uneasy, although he couldn't say what was wrong, but he just felt that with Qu Jun's agility and tactfulness, how could he make such a mistake?

Coming to the gate of Longkang Palace, Yunyang took a step with Sui's men. The palace people guarding the door hurriedly greeted him, and gave a salute with a smile: "Concubine Niangniang, the queen asked the slaves and maids to wait for Niangniang here." Please! ”

As soon as he entered the palace gate, Yun Yang secretly said in his heart: "What a big style." ”

At this time, the sky was already dark, and there were many copper poles more than two zhang high in Longkang Palace, and countless crystal cover windproof palace lamps were carried on them, illuminating this place as if it were daytime.

I saw that this Longkang Palace was built facing the east, about 40 zhang deep from east to west, about 30 zhang wide from north to south, and a white marble brick phoenix tail road with a width of two zhang was spread straight from the palace gate to the front of the main hall.

The main hall is built on the white marble temple base of three zhang high, and the temple base is divided into two layers, with nine steps on each floor. The main hall has two layers, the bucket arch is grand, the eaves are flying, a main ridge and four vertical ridges on the top of the hall are all made of gilded columnar bricks, and the rest are covered with glazed tiles like Danhuo Qianxia.

Five cedar red lacquer pillars held by one person stand in front of the hall, reflecting with the white palace wall, which is particularly dazzling. On both sides of the main hall, there are symmetrical Shoucheng floor and Tianlu floor respectively to communicate with the upper floor of the main hall with the flying corridor, there is a pavilion in front of the building, and there is a corridor under the pavilion to connect with the side hall.

There are palace people shuttling back and forth in the corridor and the pavilion, and the palace people wear gold beads and silver emeralds, and are dressed in gorgeous brocade and silk, which is different from the plain silk clothes of the palace people in other places.

Yun Yang looked at the palace people who came and went, there were thirty or forty people, plus the palace people who were still serving in the apse, and the number of errand people in the Changfu Hall was set at more than a hundred.
