Chapter 32: The Storm Rises
For all major banquets, people's costumes are mainly festive, so most of the nobles and ladies in the hall are wearing festive warm colors, red and pink, etc.
Xi Yao appeared in green clothes, like a rainy day after a long drought in the summer, a wisp of refreshment came to her face.
Different from the beauty of high-definition orchids and flowers, Xi Yao's beauty is as fresh as a sweet spring, moist and gentle. If the beauty of other women is brought out from clothing and hair accessories, then the beauty on Xi Yao's body is radiated from the inside out.
Walking among the crowds, she was unusually decent, informal, and polite, and her movements were like flowing smoothly, not at all like someone who had never attended a banquet, but like a young lady who was born with nobility.
For a moment, Wang and all the ladies present were stunned.
Only the old lady smiled silently.
Gao Gao Lan stood beside Princess Gao Yang, and when she saw that Xi Yao actually came in with the Six Princes and Bai Moyang, she couldn't help but get angry, "Princess, this is the eldest sister Gao Ying that Lan'er mentioned to you before." I was very proud when I was young......"
"She's the one who came back from the dead?" Looking at Xi Yao from top to bottom again, Princess Gaoyang looked inexplicable, "Well, I know how to be polite." "Although she is not very old, Princess Gaoyang often goes in and out of the court, and it is inevitable that she retains the same eyesight as those concubines in the harem.
Hearing Princess Gao Yang say this, the fist in Gao Lan's sleeve tightened.
No, no matter what, Princess Gao Yang must not look down on Gao Ying, and the next plan can be carried out.
"Yes, princess, in order to be able to behave well at the banquet today, my eldest sister spent the whole day in my grandmother's yard yesterday, begging my grandmother to find someone who understands etiquette to call her. Grandmother had just returned home the day before yesterday, and it happened that she had not been in good health these days, and if it weren't for her begging, she wouldn't have agreed. Hey, my mother and I both feel sorry for my grandmother, but helplessly, the people we invited, my eldest sister didn't look down on them at all, but she knew that she relied on her grandmother ......"
"Is there such a thing?" Filial piety is the first in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, listening to Gao Gaolan's description, Princess Gaoyang immediately changed her gaze towards Xi Yao, with full scrutiny and pickiness.
"Princess, did you see the white hosta of snow lotus on her head? The eldest sister heard that the princess you have a jasmine hosta, so she specially ordered her father to bring back a carved snow lotus from outside, a few days ago I persuaded it, but my sister insisted on going her own way, and said that she wanted to wear it at the banquet to compete with the princess's jasmine hairpin! “
"Proud bones" are born in any royal family, even if you don't care very much and don't take it seriously, at a certain time, it will play a role you can't imagine.
Usually, it is other ladies who come to envelop Gao Yang, and I have never heard of anyone competing with her, and once the girl's competitive heart emerges, it cannot be suppressed even by the stormy waves.
Seeing Xi Yao walking inward following people's gazes, Gao Yang raised his head and greeted him, "Sixth brother, I can't see you when I turn around, where did you go, I went to find a beauty?" As soon as the words fell, Gao Yang's gaze shifted from the body of the sixth prince to Xi Yao's face without any kindness.
Looking closer, the woman in front of her is really irresistibly beautiful.
Although I haven't seen it, Xi Yao is familiar with the faces of the major guests who may come to the banquet today, "Princess Gaoyang, be polite......"
"The eldest lady is really polite, I came to the banquet today, everyone came for you, what are you doing so formal? It will make everyone think that you have never been to such a banquet, and you are too nervous to do this! That's a mean thing to say.
The sixth prince looked certain, but he didn't interject.
In public, men rarely interject in conversations between women, and they have their own rules.
However, Xi Yao's face did not change, and after listening to Princess Gaoyang's words, she didn't show the slightest timidity, but glanced at Princess Gaoyang's back and in the direction of Gao Gaolan.
Gao Gao Lan was standing not far away gloating, glancing at Yi Qi on this side, not wanting to let go of any moment that made Xi Yao embarrassed, but who knew that the look of waiting to watch the show was caught by Xi Yao.
After thinking for a moment, Xi Yao retracted her thoughts, "The princess said this, the little woman didn't understand it a little, if you talk about the royal majesty, it is natural, but Princess Gaoyang and the six princes are well-known and approachable in the whole capital, and the people like to love one of the princes and princesses the most, in the face of you, how can the little woman talk about timidity?" ”
Unhurriedly, Xi Yao said these words word by word, almost stunned the audience.
Princess Gaoyang, that is the pearl of the emperor's palm, usually others have to be careful and careful when talking to her, lest this princess say more in front of the emperor, it will cause them to kill these petty officials, but today I don't want to, seeing that the eldest lady of the General's Mansion is so straightforward to talk to Gao Yang and the two here, and she has no loopholes to push Gao Yang's problem back.
Qi Shushu's gaze fell on Princess Gaoyang's body, and almost all of her pretty faces were purple, "You?!" The majesty of heaven, how can you talk about it in a few words? ”
"Gao Yang ......" The sixth prince turned around and stood beside Princess Gao Yang, "This is the banquet of the General's Mansion, don't make too much trouble." ”
"Sixth brother, did you hear what she just said? She turned out! ”
"Miss Gao is right, we are indeed very loved by the people, aren't we?"
Gao Yang pursed his mouth aggrievedly, "I ......" and looked at Xi Yao very unwillingly, for some reason, Gao Yang just felt that it was unpleasant to look at this woman, especially the other hairpins on her head, no matter how she looked at it, she felt uncomfortable.
Watching the excitement, they gradually looked away, some fell on the song and dance, and some went looking for food.
Gao Yang frowned tightly and refused to let go of Xi Yao, at this moment, a girl passed by Princess Gao Yang with a tray of hairy hands and feet, and heard a sound of "oops", the things in the whole tray were almost sprinkled on Gao Yang's body, but fortunately, the girl who followed Gao Yang was clever, and a dodge blocked in front of Gao Yang, and the bowl of small rice balls did not splash Gao Yang.
"How do you walk? Didn't you see Her Royal Highness the Princess here? The girl who followed became angry all of a sudden, and slapped the girl with the tray in the face.
Seeing this scene, Xi Yao frowned. I always feel that there is something wrong, but I can't say how wrong, but for no reason, how can a girl go on a rampage with Gao Yang? It's too late to dodge, is it possible?
Slowly, Xi Yao's eyes looked at Gao Gao Lan again......
