Chapter 69: The Flower Feast
Lin suddenly returned to the house, and then summoned Mama Du and the maids to get ready, the clothes can neither be too complicated nor too simple, after all, this is a flower banquet held by the county lord, neither can steal the limelight of the host nor appear obscure, plus the princess will also come, this trip must be cautious.
A few days of busy, in the blink of an eye to the day of the banquet, early in the morning Lin was called by Mama Du, after breakfast began to dress up, she usually likes plain clothes, today specially asked Mama Du to pick a bright lake blue lily skirt, but the lining is more and more beautiful.
Because it was a flower banquet, Mama Du combed a Feiyun oblique bun for her, fixed it with an ivory hairpin, and embellished it with jade flowers in the bun, which looked elegant and dignified, Lin Ran put a light layer of makeup on her face, and after all the makeup was finished, she walked out of the room with Luliu and Mama Du, and met Lin Ruyi head-on.
She was wearing a light green spring shirt and a weeping bun, obviously dressed carefully, and when she saw Lin Ran from a distance, she stepped forward and held her hand affectionately and said, "Sister, let's go together!" ”
Lin Ziran smiled and nodded, and the two walked all the way to the door of the Lin Mansion with a smile, at this time Lin Zixuan also came over, hummed lightly at them, and was about to leave with her feet, but Lin Ranran opened her mouth lightly at this time and said, "Why don't you salute when my sister sees me?" ”
"Lin Xuanran, what do you mean by this?" Lin Zixuan glared at her coldly.
"Don't concubines have to salute when they see their concubines?" Lin suddenly took a moment to ask, "Does my sister want to bully the small with the big?" ”
Seeing that the situation was not right, Mama Yan, who was standing next to Lin Zixuan, gently pulled her sleeve and said, "Third Miss, please don't be surprised, it's my young lady who is rude." ”
Lin suddenly didn't speak, Lin Zixuan couldn't beat the look on her face, and finally gritted her teeth and blessed her, raised her head and stared at her coldly: "I won't let you go." ”
Lin suddenly smiled disapprerovingly, "I'm just reminding my second sister that it's not rude to get there." After that, she took Lin Ruyi and the maid away.
The car went to the door of Prince Jane's mansion, the maids waited for the ladies to get out of the car, the three of them walked through the corridor under the leadership of the chamberlain, and entered the small bridge and artificial lake, and then walked a few steps forward, the open courtyard appeared in front of their eyes, the yard was placed with a long small table and soft cushions, in the first place was the seat of the crown princess, at this time the early ladies sat together and were chatting, at this time the waiter retreated, a maid walked in front of them, Shi Shiran bowed: "Welcome to the ladies of Shangshu Mansion, Please come and take a seat with the slave and maid. ”
Lin Zixuan responded with a smile, and after taking Lin Ran and Lin Ruyi to sit down, they greeted the young ladies they knew well.
Compared with Lin Ruyi's novelty face, Lin Ranran seemed a lot calmer, she looked around, met Luo Wanlin's gaze, the other party smiled at her playfully, and Lin Ranran also returned with a shallow smile.
Over there, Lin Zixuan was chatting with the young ladies, and she had to deal with it, but here Lin Ziran was just drinking tea quietly, and Lin Ruyi couldn't look at it and whispered in her ear: "Third sister, look at the appearance of the second sister, I really think that the concubine of Shangshufu is her, and if she continues like this, she will overshadow the third sister." ”
Lin suddenly smiled and reassured her: "No." She lowered her head and stopped talking, although she had a decent smile on her face, she thought coldly in her heart, Lin Zixuan, you like to show off so much, I will let you be in the limelight today.
Gradually, more and more young ladies came in one after another, and the laughter around them even overshadowed the voices, and suddenly a mother-in-law walked in and shouted: "The princess has arrived, and the lord of Yaoling has arrived." ”
The ladies hurriedly got up and saluted to the main seat, the crown princess and the lord of Yaoling stood on the main and secondary seats respectively, and the princess smiled and said: "Today is the flower banquet held by my cousin, everyone doesn't have to be formal, sit down." ”
As soon as the words fell, the lord of Yaoling County clapped his hands, and the delicious delicacies of the mountains and seas took the seat, and the young ladies began to say compliments constantly, Lin Ran was so curious that he turned his eyes to the princess who was talking to people and smiled, to be honest, she was not very good-looking, and even a few points inferior to some famous ladies, but she had a graceful temperament and atmospheric demeanor between her eyebrows and eyes, which could faintly overshadow other people, and I had heard the old lady say that this princess had a bleak background, It is a baby abandoned by her parents, and was later adopted by Prince Yi's mansion as an adopted daughter, although this woman is not outstanding in appearance, but she is talented, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can even catch up with the first talented daughter of the Jin Dynasty, but she is unusually low-key and few people know, but she shines at a banquet and is appreciated by the emperor, and she is married to the prince, it is said that after marriage, the two Qin Se and Ming, the couple are deeply in love, thinking of this, Lin Ran couldn't help but move his eyes to the lively and lovely Yaoling County Lord, Even though he lost his parents since he was a child, he has been taken care of by his brother Prince Jane and regarded as the pearl of his palm, and because of this, the county lord has become the object of competition among some ladies who want to become princesses.
At this time, a burst of laughter came, and everyone looked along with the sound, only to see a woman wearing a goose-yellow satin embroidered skirt laughing with the crown princess, this person is Lin Zixuan's eldest cousin Gu Yini, who is also the concubine of Ning Wangfu, I don't know what she said to cause the princess to smile all over her face.
"Sisters, what's the fun thing that makes us smile?" The first person to speak was the county lord Yaoling who was sitting on the side, she opened her ruddy little mouth and asked curiously.
Gu Yini saw that everyone cast curious glances at her, and smiled charmingly between the waves of her eyes: "It's just some jokes that are not elegant, my sisters are afraid that they will fall asleep when they hear it, since the weather is so good today, why don't we compose poems?" She looked at Lin Ranran's side and asked with a smile.
"Okay!" The first to agree was Cui Linglong, the eldest lady of Cui Mansion.
"But it's too easy for the ladies here to compose poems, today is a flower banquet, and there are so many flowers in the courtyard to match, why don't you write a poem with the theme of a hundred flowers?" Gu Yini said to the ladies, her posture can be described as humble and polite.
At this time, the crown princess put down her wine glass, nodded and smiled: "Okay, Princess Ning's idea is good, this palace has heard that the young ladies are so talented, why don't you show it here today, we might as well have fun." ”
The county lord of Yaoling and the crown princess glanced at each other, smiled and clapped their hands, and a maid took the four treasures of the study.
Lin Ran saw Gu Yini smiling gently, and couldn't help but look at Lin Zixuan, and sure enough, when she saw her eldest cousin being favored, she showed a faint look of pride on her face, and secretly mocked herself in her heart: It's just that you don't go out of the family, you don't enter the family.
Poetry and painting are common means in the banquet of the general aristocracy, one is used as a pastime, and the other can obtain the joy of the superiors, maybe they can become famous overnight in the Jin Dynasty, Lin Ran used to read a lot of poetry gatherings held by the nobles in the book, it is just a boring pastime for the ladies, she is not interested in sitting there watching the young ladies' eager expressions, and a faint smile is hooked on her mouth.
Gu Yini said something in the ear of the crown princess, who nodded and smiled: "I heard that the second lady of Shangshu Mansion is good at poetry, why don't you make a poem with this topic?"
Lin Zixuan was named up, suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, and got up a little shyly to salute, Lin suddenly sneered in her heart, this princess of Ning Wangfu is a smart person who knows how to pave the way for her sister, it seems that Lin Zixuan still has no heart for marrying into the royal family and nobles.
After thinking about it, Lin Zixuan had already begun to say loudly: "Take advantage of the brocade strips in the sunny sun, and resolutely bloom full of branches." The spring breeze stirs up sad things, and the brilliance and pity are self-defeating. “
When she finished writing the poem, the crown princess nodded thoughtfully: "This poem is not bad, but it seems that something is missing, Princess Ning, what do you think?" She glanced at Gu Yini, who seemed to have expected something, and smiled faintly: "What the crown princess said is very true, the third lady of Shangshu Mansion, Lin Xuanran, can not only write poems, but also dance while writing, it is better to let the two sisters work together, and it can also relieve everyone's boredom." “
Gu Yini's words are reasonable, so that outsiders think that this Princess Ning is the two sisters who want to mention Shangshu Mansion, in fact, only Lin Yuran knows that this Princess Ning, who is very deep in the city, is afraid that she wants to make a fool of her here, it is estimated that she learned from Lin Zixuan that she is not good at dancing, but they are all wrong, the original owner of this body will not, but now she has been dancing national dance since she was a child, and these two people really underestimate her.
Lin Ran didn't shirk either, got up with a smile and saluted the crown princess: "The courtiers are respectful, it's better to obey." As she spoke, she walked to Lin Zixuan's side and saw her fleeting surprise.
Crown Princess Tang Zhiru looked at Lin Xuanran, only feeling that the demeanor shown by this girl did not match her age, although she had a smile on her face, there was no smile in her eyes, and there was a kind of coldness around her body, which made it impossible to see through.
Lin Zixuan walked to the table, picked up the wolf pen to adjust the color, and began to paint, Lin Ran got the permission of the princess to change into a dress before, compared to the previous restrained skirt, this dress was improved by her, suitable for dancing national dance pants, everyone was curious to be attracted by her bright dress, the trouser leg is a horn opening, the waist is tied with a simple belt, so that she can let go of her feet and dance at will, originally she was just doing her own fun, No one expected her to use this outfit on this occasion. "Cut, I'm afraid it's a trick!" On the other side, Cui Linglong, the young lady of Cui Mansion, whispered to the county lord on the side, "What kind of lady does you look like in this kind of clothes!" “
Unexpectedly, Yaoling stared at Lin suddenly with a curious expression and said, "No, I think it's very novel, if it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the guts of her." Cui Linglong saw that the county lord Yaoling said this, so she could only bow her head in embarrassment.
Lin suddenly nodded to the musician, and when the music started, she began to dance, and the whole garden immediately fell silent, she used a pipa line without lyrics, and the melodious music slowly flowed in the garden, she was not in a hurry to throw off the water sleeves and throw it into the air, the whole person bent down, and began to chant: "The rain has passed through the Hengtang water embankment, the mountains are high and the road is east, and the peach and plum blossoms are all blooming, only the green grass is the same color." “
After the end of a song, another string of rapid music came quickly, Lin Ran, who was still dancing slowly, seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, so hard that he threw up his water sleeves, stretched forward, and went around, only to see the slender figure in the beautiful and fragrant flowers against the backdrop of graceful and graceful, like a fairy flying down from the sky, and after a while, everyone saw Lin Moto draw a heavy stroke on the ground covered with rice paper, and formed a poem on the paper little by little.
Everyone was stunned, thinking that they really saw the fairy descending to earth, when the last note was drawn, after a short silence in the garden, the applause of the ladies rang out, the third lady of the Lin Mansion was not only outstanding in poetry, but also danced very well in response to the occasion, just when everyone shifted their attention to Lin Ranran's body, Lin Zixuan, who had already finished painting, was angry, but she could only compliment her sister with others, of course, the happiest thing in this is Lin Ruyi, She originally looked at the bottom and pinched a cold sweat, but she didn't expect that Sister Suddenly would be able to show her style and show off at the flower banquet, she glanced in the direction of Lin Zixuan, and sure enough, she saw a trace of jealousy in her eyes.
The same Princess Ning's expression was not very good, she didn't think of lifting a stone to hit herself in the foot, she originally wanted to vent her evil anger for her cousin, but let that concubine be in the limelight in front of everyone, it seems that they all underestimated Lin Ranran's city.
After a while, Lin Zixuan's Spring Garden Full Color Map was completed, but compared to Lin Ranran's wonderful performance before, everyone's response was mediocre, and she barely accepted it, which made her grit her teeth with hatred, she originally wanted to teach her sister a lesson, but she didn't expect to dance and dance without saying anything, and wrote a poem on the ground, can this not make her intestines regret it.
The crown princess smiled and rewarded Lin Ranran and Lin Zixuan.
Lin suddenly smiled and returned to his seat, and Lin Ruyi whispered, "Sister, are you okay?" “
Lin suddenly shook her hand without a trace, "Don't worry." “
At this time, Gao Ming, the county lord of Yaoling, became interested in Lin Ranran, and took her hand and said affectionately while everyone was talking: "Sister, your dance just now is so beautiful, what is your name, can you teach me?" “
Lin suddenly replied with a smile: "Back to the county lord, the courtiers danced a national dance just now, if the county lord is interested, the courtiers can teach you." "Really? That's great! After speaking, Gao Ming winked mischievously at her, Lin Zixuan saw this scene, and her eyes were full of deep resentment: "I can't imagine that my sister's popularity is so good, even the county lord likes you." "Where, it's not a blessing for my sister." Lin Ran looked at her sour words and smiled softly.
Lin Zixuan only felt her blood surge, lowered her head and stopped talking.
Not long after, the lively Gao Ming proposed to take the girls to visit the back garden, and everyone did not hesitate to stand up and keep up with the army, Lin Ruyi also felt very curious and wanted to go, Lin suddenly smiled and let her go, she wanted to be alone.
Lin Ruyi didn't bother her and walked with everyone.
Prince Jian is very big, Lin Ran didn't find that there were several large courtyards when she came over at night, and it was like a labyrinth to go around, just when she was going around for a long time, she suddenly heard a slight buzzing sound, and she raised her head and saw a hornet's nest hanging on the head of the crown princess that was about to fall.
Lin Ranran's face changed suddenly, just about to remind her, the hornet's nest suddenly fell, Lin Ranran didn't think about it, hugged the princess and rolled aside, before the two were undecided, a large number of wasps swarmed out of the nest, and when the princess panicked and didn't know what to do, Lin Ranran saw an artificial lake not far from them, she pulled up the princess without saying a word and ran forward: "Princess, when I say one, two, three, let's jump in together." “
After all, the crown princess is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, seeing Lin Ranran say this, she didn't ask the reason but nodded, held her breath, and when Lin Ranran shouted three, the two jumped into the lake together.
By the time the maid found out that the princess was missing, it had been a long time, Gao Ming hurriedly shouted to someone to help, the princess has a noble status, if something really happens, but she can't afford it.
At this time, a little guy looked so flustered that he crawled over and said, "The county lord is not good, there is a hornet's nest under the tree?" "What did you say? How can there be a hornet's nest in a tree? Gao Ming's face changed greatly, and he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly called the little servant to deliver the letter to the prince's mansion.
The crown princess is missing here, Lin Ruyi found that her third sister was also missing, and she was so panicked that she could find it everywhere, while Lin Zixuan watched the play coldly on the side: "What is there to find, eighty percent of them are gone by themselves!" “
Lin Ruyi glared at her fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense, how can Sister Suddenly leave without even saying hello?" "I can't say for sure." Lin Zixuan was too lazy to say, Gao Ming walked over from a distance, her expression was very serious: "Miss Lin, you said your sister is also gone?" “
Lin Ru's opinion was that it was the county lord of Yaoling, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously: "Yes, my sister said that she wanted to be alone and quiet, and when I turned back to look for her, she would be gone." “
Gao Ming pondered for a while and said, "I'm afraid that Sister Ran's disappearance is related to the hornet's nest, let's look for it again." "Hmm." Lin Ruyi nodded and left with Gao Ming, Lin Zixuan pouted disdainfully: "It's best that she has no return." “
Lin suddenly seemed to have had a long dream, the surrounding was dark, she couldn't reach out and couldn't touch the edge, she was struggling, and suddenly a warm light source appeared, and when she wanted to open her eyes to see clearly, she disappeared again.
When she woke up in a daze, she found herself lying in a manly room. Hey, what kind of place is this? She only remembered that after she and the crown princess washed into the water, they didn't know anything after that. "You're finally awake." Lin suddenly opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was a handsome face. "How could I sleep here?" Lin was just about to get up, but was held down by Gao Lian, "This is my room, do you know that you were stung by a wasp?" “
Lin suddenly shook his head blankly: "My grandmother told me that you can escape the pursuit of wasps by hiding in the water?" At that time, the crown princess and I were hiding in the water! “
Gao Lian sighed helplessly, I really don't know if this girl is brave or stupid, she only cares about protecting the crown princess, and her hands are all scarred by wasp stings, if he hadn't come earlier, I'm afraid that her little life would have died a long time ago. "I've removed the toxins from your body, just drink the medicine for a few days and you'll be fine." Gao Lian sat on the side and looked at her quietly, which made Lin Ran blush slightly, and suddenly she thought of something, and clapped her hands violently: "Oh, how is the crown princess?" And Ruyi must be in a hurry! “
Gao Lian held her up: "Are you worried about yourself first?" The crown princess was fine, and Lin Ruyi was also sent back to Shangshu Mansion, but you were in a coma for two days and two nights because of your injuries. “
Yes? She slept for so long, Lin Ran was slightly surprised, this is good, if Lin Qisheng knew about it, he wouldn't know what to arrange her.
Gao Lian saw her thoughts, and said with a faint smile: "I have already sent a letter to Lin Shangshu, you can rest assured that you can recuperate here!" "How can this work?" Lin Ran struggled to get up, but Gao Lian suddenly pressed her with his hand, and his face became serious: "Lin Ran, do you know, you make me care more and more." “
