Chapter 22: The Night Banquet (I)

"Outside, the sun is so full, if my sister wants to find me, just find someone to call me over, why bother to come by yourself?" Xuanyuan Xue carefully helped Shangguan Kite to sit down, and personally padded her so that she could lean more comfortably. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Shangguan Yuan Yuan saw that Xuanyuan Xue was busy with work, and smiled and asked her to sit down quickly, "The imperial doctor said that I should move around more, and besides, I am not so squeamish, and my sister is embarrassed to make me like this." ”

"Hmm." Xuanyuan Xue looked disgusted at her, "You are the firstborn, and you are also the first prince of our Ming Shangguo, what's wrong with being squeamish?" If you want me to say, it's so expensive! ”

Shangguan Kite stroked her lower abdomen with one hand, her happiness was overflowing, and Xuanyuan Xue sat on the opposite side with a smile, "Sister has something to look for me?" ”

"Yes. It's something. Shangguan Yuan paused, looked at the new clothes on the table, and asked sideways, "The emperor sent it?" ”

Xuanyuan Xue looked over and nodded with a smile, and then waved her hand again to let Tianyue help take the things in Mei'er's hand. "This is Mei'er? The storyteller? ”

Shangguan Yuan saw that a villain was obediently placing things, and took a closer look. Xuanyuan Xue lightly called Mei'er to her side, "Mei'er, I've seen the imperial concubine." ”

Tilting Moon took the things over, and bowed her eyebrows forward, "The slave has seen the imperial concubine." ”

Shangguan Yuan snorted, turned his head and smiled at Xuanyuan Xue and said, "Sister is good-natured. But I don't know how angry my brother looked at the beginning. After speaking, Fu stretched out his hand and nodded his eyebrows, "The third princess is good, if she hadn't saved your girl." Let someone send it to me, I'm afraid it's only an errand in the miscellaneous room. You've got to read it well, you know? ”

Mei'er hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your grace, thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness." ”

"Alright." Xuanyuan Xue saw that her eyebrows were like a frightened bird, and she was also very pitiful, and quickly raised her hand to let her up, "This girl is clever and has helped Tianyue a lot, sister, don't frighten her." ”

The moon is suitable for putting on the sour plum soup and osmanthus cake, "After a call, the mother drank some sour plum soup, and the princess specially let the slaves and maids boil it in the early morning, which was very sweet." ”

Shangguan Kite took a sip of the sour plum soup, "Well, it's really delicious." Xuanyuan Xue smiled and motioned to Mei'er very softly, Mei'er got up obediently, and retreated with a bow.

"My sister likes it, I'll let Tilting Moon put some back for my sister." Shangguan Kite put down the cup with a smile, "That's not in a hurry." I have something to ask my sister. ”

"Huh?" Xuanyuan Xue sent osmanthus cake to her mouth and snorted. Seeing that Shangguan Kite was slightly embarrassed, he laughed jokingly and said, "What is my sister afraid of? But my brother bullied my sister again? My sister supports my sister! ”

Shangguan Yuan Xue smiled at Bai Xuanyuan Xue, "What do you have to do with the emperor?" It's because I think that my sister is now eighteen years old, and even the seventh princess is married to Emperor Xiao. I was thinking about talking to my sister and seeing if she was interesting. ”

Xuanyuan Xue smiled, lowered her head and fiddled with her handkerchief, she knew that she was a big princess, if it weren't for the fact that she pretended to be disfigured in the early years, it would be rare for her to not be married at this age, but where is she an ordinary woman? Can you marry easily? Don't talk about yourself, even with each other I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

"Brother Huang has an idea?" Xuanyuan Xue knew that Shangguan Kite was a lobbyist, and Xuanyuan Ming did not dare to advocate without authorization in this regard, just because she clearly told Xuanyuan Ming three years ago that if she was forced to marry, she would stay on Qingyun Mountain for the rest of her life and never come back.

Shangguan Yuan is indeed a person who explores Xuanyuan Ming's mouth, but she also has selfish intentions, she wants to make peace for Shangguan Rong, she knows that her brother has a deep affection for Xuanyuan Xue. So, with a deep sigh, the more she made far-fetched explanations for Xuanyuan Xue, a smart girl, the more unwilling she was to tell the truth.

"I'm for my brother...... Shangguan Rong ...... "Shangguan Kite slid lightly on the mouth of the cup with her hand, originally Xuanyuan Xue was still disgusted, she could listen to Shangguan Rong's three words, and she softened in an instant, Shangguan Rong knew her emotions about her very early on, but she always deliberately avoided it on weekdays.

Shangguan Rong is a kind and introverted person, since she was a child, she has been trying her best to protect herself, she can't bear to hurt Shangguan Rong, and she feels very guilty when she sees that he really doesn't marry his wife and concubine.

"Brother Rong......" Xuanyuan Xue's tone was thoughtful, looking at Xuanyuan Xue's frowning appearance, Shangguan Kite probably guessed Xuanyuan Xue's intentions, but unfortunately her brother was afraid that he would not have this blessing.

"What about the others?" Others? Xuanyuan Xue laughed at herself and shook her head. Of course, she has someone she likes, but what can she do?

Shangguan Kite promised Xuanyuan Ming, only to find out whether Xuanyuan Xue belonged to him.

Shangguan Kite overheard the conversation between Ling Xuan and Xuanyuan Ming the day before yesterday, Ling Xuan asked Xuanyuan Ming for Xuanyuan Xue, Xuanyuan Ming did not say anything at the moment, but last night he suddenly asked himself to explore Xuanyuan Xue's situation, according to his own understanding of Xuanyuan Ming. If Xuanyuan Xue doesn't have a favorite person, Xuanyuan Ming is afraid that he really plans to marry his third sister to Emperor Xuan and become the master of the harem of Beijing.

But why she can't figure it out, Xuanyuan Ming has always loved her sister, and just wants to recruit a colt to let Xuanyuan Xue stay in Ming Shangguo, where is she reluctant to marry so far away? Just for the sake of the alliance, Xuanyuan Ming doesn't have to be like this, but what is it for?

"Brother Huang promised me, he doesn't care." Xuanyuan Xue twisted the handkerchief into a knot and wrapped it back and forth between her fingers, Shangguan Yuan frowned, the eldest brother is like a father, even if Xuanyuan Xue is resolute, I am afraid that Xuanyuan Ming will be estimated.

Shangguan Kite patted her with her hand and said softly: "Selfishly, I really want you to be my sister-in-law." My brother has liked you since he was a child, and I am anxious in my eyes, but I don't know how to do it. ”

Xuanyuan Xue also frowned, she has always only been an elder brother of Shangguan Rong, she really has no choice. Xuanyuan Xue was silent, Shangguan Kite knew that if she continued, I am afraid that this girl would even be willing to see her brother's face. So, he sighed and smiled, "Well, in the end, what my brother hopes most is that my sister can be happy." ”

Happiness? Xuanyuan Xue shrugged her brows, looking at the little life conceived by Shangguan Kite, her mood was a little different, and a kind of warmth rose from the bottom of her heart, maybe many things can be felt without having to experience it in person.

Sent away the official kite, Xuanyuan Xue took a brush and wrote at will, Tilting Moon came in from outside, and didn't pay attention to Xuanyuan Xue's serious writing, and poured a glass of water and drank it down, "Be careful of hurting your stomach." Xuanyuan Xue didn't look up, but still instructed her. Tilting Yue smiled and said yes, drank two glasses of water before walking up to Xuanyuan Xue, "The master's order has already asked the imperial doctor to go to Ling Xuan." ”

"Emperor Xuan." Xuanyuan Xue raised her eyes, "No matter what happened before, his identity is different now, and besides, he is in the palace, you have to be careful." ”

The moon blessed the body, "Yes." Fu remembered something again, and said: "The night said that Emperor Ming asked him to escort Zhao Kuo all the way, and he has to go to the barracks for a while, I am afraid that he will not be able to come one day." Xuanyuan Xue put down her pen, but her face was relaxed, "So that he doesn't have to come back in a hurry." Tilting Moon pursed her lips and snickered, "After all, there is someone who is afraid of the master." ”

"He doesn't listen to you at all, and you see him bullying me on weekdays, and I don't know how to help." Xuanyuan Xue was full of grievances, she spread her hands and shook her head with a smile, "Okay, the master has to pretend to be aggrieved wherever he goes." The sun is about to go down, so get ready.

So quickly, Xuanyuan Xue looked at the sunset, "Okay." ”

The moon has always been nimble. Soon, the moon dressed up Xuanyuan Xue in a down-to-earth manner, Xuanyuan Xue wore the mind specially sent by Xuanyuan Ming, stood in front of the mirror and looked at it, it was really good-looking, but it was a pity that she was in such a state of mind.

Thinking that she was going to face Ling Xuan's family for a while, to be honest, she didn't have any preparation herself, she looked at her stiff smile in the mirror, and she also wondered, how could a person who could dress up like that on weekdays not be able to use force when it came?

Tilting Moon looked at Xuanyuan Xue's tangled smile and sighed lightly, "Actually, the master told Emperor Ming that Emperor Ming would definitely not let the master go." Xuanyuan Xue stared at herself in the mirror, talent, appearance, shrewdness, she thinks she is not bad among the women in the world, she has tried to learn to let go, but she has never escaped the confinement of feelings, it's just that tonight has passed, but only an hour or two.

When night falls, because it is a good time to enjoy the moon and see the scenery, Xuanyuan Ming specially placed the night banquet in the Furong Pavilion, the lotus flowers are in full bloom all around, the lotus lampstand is placed in the water, and the moonlight is accompanied by the soft brightness of the candle fire oil lamp, and the lotus flowers in the water are more graceful, clear and beautiful.

When Xuanyuan Xue arrived, except for the three emperors, almost everyone was seated, and Xuanyuan Xue undoubtedly became the focus of attention, but she just walked forward with the leading eunuch without squinting, "Sister." The seventh princess, Xuanyuan Ying, was the first to get up and salute, and the princesses behind lazily followed.

"You don't have to be polite." Xuanyuan Xue didn't look at them either, only held Xuanyuan Ying's hand and smiled kindly, "I should have congratulated you a long time ago, but I don't want to be in such a bad condition, I always have minor illnesses." Are you ready? If you can't keep busy, send someone to tell me, and I'll ask them to help. ”

Xuanyuan Ying blushed and didn't dare to show off, only nodded, "Sister don't worry." ”

Xuanyuan Xue smiled at her with an easy smile, turned around and walked towards Shangguan Luan, "Say hello to Niangniang, I'm late, and ask Niangniang to punish you." Shangguan Kite pursed her lips and smiled, pointing to the empty seat next to her, "Where is my sister, it's not too late." Sit down. ”

Xuanyuan Xue thanked her again before returning to her seat and sitting down.

After a while, the three emperors walked over, everyone got up and looked at each other, and only saluted when the three of them sat down, Xiao Rui and Ling Xuan let Xuanyuan Ming together, so they were guests in Ming Shangguo, so they should naturally listen to Xuanyuan Ming. Xuanyuan Ming smiled modestly and raised his hand to let everyone get up, "Everyone is free to do so." ”

The three of them are all dressed in gorgeous clothes today, and Xuanyuan Ming in the center is wearing a dark white brocade robe, and the cuffs are edged with gold wire. On the head, the white jade hair is crowned, and the green silk is tied. His eyebrows and eyes are cold, and he even smiles with sternness on weekdays, let alone make a shelf now?

Xuanyuan Ming was sitting in a precarious position, raised his hand to call people to start playing music, and the pipa sound came from the gimbal on the side of the platform, and the hall was full of aftersound, and several dancers pretended to be heavenly maidens, slipped to the center of the stage, and danced with the music. Xuanyuan Ming smiled softly, "I'll see off Brother Xiao today, Brother Xiao has to go home with a good time, so it shows that Shangguo has a way to entertain guests." ”

Xiao Rui was the youngest of the three, and returned the salute with a smile, "That's inevitable." ”

Out of Xuanyuan Ming, Ling Xuan on the other side is also the focus. As soon as he came, several princesses around Xuanyuan Xue began to stir.

Today, Ling Xuan is indeed dressed not badly, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and a purple brocade robe hangs down, which makes his handsome figure even more visible, the auspicious dragon copywriting embroidered with dark gray fine thread on his chest is lifelike, and the green silk seems to be unintentionally used with a brocade ribbon, and with his talk and laughter, the green silk slides down arbitrarily but is not messy at all.

Ling Xuan's nose bones are convex, and his cheekbones are also distinct, there are scenes everywhere, especially when his afterglow is swept away, that faint tenderness, not to mention that the princess who has not yet been matched to be out of the pavilion is Xuanyuan Xue is also trembling in her heart.

Xuanyuan Ming also attaches great importance to this night banquet, not only the harem lord is present, but also Qingling and Xuancobalt are on the left and right, plus Ling Xuan's Concubine Xuan and Xuanyuan Xue, who has been looking down and not looking around, it is really the Xuanning Palace and the Four Palaces together.

Ling Xuan held a wine glass and drank with Xuanyuan Ming and Xiao Rui, peeking at Xuanyuan Xue from time to time, seeing her look a little aggrieved, and his heart was also full of pity, if this was before, he would have taken Xuanyuan Xue to leave secretly, and then find a quiet place to enjoy the scenery.

But now, he can only take this opportunity to look at her a few more times, is this a creation of people?
