The three masters and servants sat in the carriage that marked the Dingwang Mansion and crossed the street. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Peilan has a lively temperament, in the process of pulling up the curtain of the carriage, seeing the lively scene outside, the girl's heart is also revealed, stretching out her finger to point and point at which one is lively, and she has to pull the comment of the incense, or let Shao Xunmei follow her gaze to see which color painting is more beautiful and exquisite.

And Xiang Zhi finally couldn't help but remind: "Peilan, the identity of the princess, do you think it is suitable to show up?" ”

Oh, yes! Then Perrin was silent.

The carriage went straight to the Taicheng Gate, on the wide palace road, almost enough for four carriages to pass in parallel, and this time the carriage did not stop at the second gate of the Taicheng Gate, but went directly to the Lin De Palace, which is located in the northwest of the palace, the highest position and the largest other hall in the palace.

It has always been a place where the emperor held banquets, watched music and dances, and received foreign envoys, so the most solemn birthday banquet since His Majesty's accession to the throne was also held here.

The entrance of the palace is high and wide, the main hall has two floors, and the east and west sides have two symmetrical halls to communicate with the upper floor of the main hall, and this hall is decorated with pavilions and pavilions in front of it, and there are more corridors around it, so the whole Lin De Hall looks like a huge overall building.

And Shao Xunmei came out of the carriage, followed by the two girls Xiangzhi and Peilan, and Steward Zhou led in front, and after arriving at the back of the gate of Linde Palace, he saw Li Rongxi, who was dressed in a red robe and a jasper belt, greeted him, and when he saw the woman who came from afar, dressed in a high bun, with a delicate and beautiful face, his eyes almost didn't recognize that this was his princess, and there was a stunning look in his eyes, although it was fleeting.

And Shao Xunmei called him: "Lord Wang." "Why are you still out? This is a deliberate attempt to pick her up, as for it? And Li Yongxi's solemn auspicious dress today made his people look a little more gentle and humane, and even his cold and hard silhouette was elegant and soft.

And Li Rongxi just looked at her like that, just snorted and answered, and then asked in a low voice: "Is your body better?" ”

Shao Xunmei smiled, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face, "Well, it's much better." "It's just not good, didn't you also let Steward Zhou call him for his busy work?

Li Rongxi said in a low voice: "Your daughters have lunch in the neighboring hall, go, the Empress Dowager and Princess Zichen are here, let's talk about it after eating!" ”

This man really asked her to come for lunch!

At this moment, his eyes suddenly stayed on her head, and his gaze became surprised and deep in an instant, and he asked with some hesitation: "Princess, ...... you phoenix crown?" "Where did it come from? Why didn't King Dai prepare the set for you?

And Shao Xunmei probably guessed his thoughts and questions for the exit, so she replied very calmly: "Oh, this phoenix crown was found by my two girls from the treasury, and it was rewarded by me for treating His Majesty's illness at that time!" The two of them felt that the auspicious clothes you prepared were more compatible with this phoenix crown, so they changed them! Afraid that this person would misunderstand, she deliberately explained it more clearly.

And Li Rongxi snorted from his nose, his voice was a little cold, and his expression was a little dark in an instant: "Your Majesty really has a heart, and the reward he gave to this princess is really valuable and heartfelt!" ”

Shao Xunmei didn't have time to understand the deep meaning of his words, but instead interrupted him: "Okay, I'm going, you can go back quickly!" ”

After that, Shao Xunmei took Xiangzhi and Pei Lan to the main hall adjacent to the main hall, in the adjacent hall to the west, several people walked in the corridor, decorated with bright red silk everywhere, and the pillar was aimed at the colorful painting pattern of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, lifelike, and even hung with red lanterns on it, just when it was dark, the banquet began thoroughly!

After a few people arrived at the neighboring hall, they found that those famous ladies, the ladies of the family and the lady of the order had already sat behind the desk according to their positions, and the big red brocade carpet set up a feast, and the top center sat on a pair of auspicious clothes, embroidered with nine phoenixes flying in the phoenix robe, and there were twelve phoenix tails on the head to decorate the phoenix hairpin, the whole person was solemn, and at this time her face was a kind smile.

And the first one on the left below is the most distinguished guest, the crown princess Pu from southern Xinjiang and one of her daughters are also among them, and in that table, there is also a very conspicuous little girl, but I see that this little girl is full of thin braids, and it is decorated with black and red beads and ribbons, the skin is not the white color of the Central Plains woman, but a healthy honey color, and her clothes are thick like blood, and it is mixed with dark textures, The texture from the neckline to the ankle skirt below, this intense red and deep black, intertwined, give people a strong and eerie feeling!

And there are several necklaces hanging around her neck, which are a bit cumbersome. One is made of gold, one is made of silver, and one is made of all kinds of attractive gemstones, and finally the one on the outside is the most conspicuous, made of white bone!

Shao Xunmei looked at the bones and determined: This necklace should be made of human bones!

The little girl doesn't look very old, only thirteen or fourteen years old, in addition to these costumes, I also see that her face is also painted with this mysterious and complex black and red totem, the pattern looks like the shape of some animal, and it looks like a mixture of fire or black plant vines, which seems to echo the strange robe on her body, and it is said that southern Xinjiang is a country full of witchcraft and weirdness, and it is true!

Moreover, between her shaking hands, it seemed that there was a living creature emerging from her fingers? Shao Xunmei's sharp eyes found that if she was not mistaken, it should be a purple and black scorpion? Khan, this little girl is still a witchcrafter?

A princess, this dress is so weird! In other words, is this the little princess in southern Xinjiang? This is the little princess who is said to marry Li Rongxu and be her concubine?

Shao Xunmei was a little worried, would Li Rongxu accept such a heavy taste from her concubine? If this little princess of southern Xinjiang is unhappy, it is enough to let out the poison on her body to bite him! Oh, it's the bones of the dead man, it's probably not from their tribe, this kind of aesthetic is really unacceptable.

Alas, she thinks far away, doesn't she?

After she quickly greeted the Empress Dowager, she sat down in her seat, and her position turned out to be the first place on the right, no wonder Li Rongxi had to pick her up before lunch!

First, what a dazzling place! If it's empty, it's going to look good! Don't you make people laugh at foreign seasons?

And when she just said goodbye to the Queen Mother, she had already explained the reason for her late arrival very sincerely, and at the same time, although she was wearing heavy makeup, she couldn't hide the appearance of recovering from a serious illness, and the Queen Mother also comforted her with a few more words of concern before she sat down.

And Princess Zichen is still wearing a bright red brocade wide-sleeved fairy dress, which sets off her figure and slender waist, and her hairstyle is combed into a concentric bun, the bun is as high as a cloud, wearing a top flower with red petals, white jade as stamens, and two rounded pearls with golden butterfly whiskers embedded with two longans, decorated with red and sapphire around the flowers, and the golden hairpin with the "ancient line" pattern at the bend of the hairpin, as well as the winged phoenix-shaped, silk production process, with a little movement on her head The wings will tremble with the golden phoenix hairpin. And behind her is a pair of delicate silk golden phoenix hairpins, and this time there are no hairpin hibiscus flowers on her head, as if it is the first time that Princess Zichen is high and noble!

And she sat beside the Queen Mother, her every move, smile and smile showed the noble dignity and proper response of the princess of a country, and her smile and smile showed the elegance and pride of the princess and her self-confidence.

And the banquet is naturally indispensable to talk about the situation, and Shao Xunmei found that a lot of eyes were looking at herself, and the target was all on the top of her head!

And Shao Xunmei sighed in her heart: Is this hairstyle and this phoenix crown really too conspicuous and too ostentatious? Why did even Princess Zichen on it look over a few times, intentionally or unintentionally?

Then, someone was talking about something in a whisper, but because there was a distance between them, and people deliberately whispered, Shao Xunmei didn't hear it. And in the end, the sound grew louder and louder, and she felt that something was wrong.

Fortunately, Princess Zichen kindly solved her doubts, but saw that the corners of her lips set off an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and no one believed that it was not from the same womb as Li Rongxu!

And this girl's eyes showed a sly smile, in Shao Xunmei's opinion, how to look a little evil, and she had some bad intuition, sure enough, I heard her crisp and long voice fill the entire hall, and her eyes were focused on the phoenix crown on Shao Xunmei's head, and her eyes also carried some nostalgia in it: "Imperial sister-in-law, some of these people are elderly people who recognize that the phoenix crown you are wearing on your head is the national color Tianxiang golden phoenix crown." ”

Shao Xunmei didn't understand, the name of this phoenix crown sounds quite elegant and elegant, it can't be some origin! It won't be a threat to the exposure of her relationship with Li Rongxu!

If that's the case, this man is really rampant!

Sure enough, as she expected, Princess Zichen's next words directly shocked her and the Xiangzhi and Pei Lan around her, and even made her heart swell up with infinite fear: "This phoenix crown is also one of the dowry gifts that my father gave to my mother at that time, and my father gave my mother a complete set of dowry as a dowry!" It is also one of my mother's favorite jewelry, but I didn't expect the royal brother to give it to the imperial sister-in-law! ”

I'll go! When Shao Xunmei heard this, her eyes contracted violently! Your sister, this is really her carelessness! And the two girls, Xiangzhi and Peilan, didn't notice the origin of this phoenix crown!

She actually put one of the favorite jewelry of the Holy Empress Dowager, or the dowry given to her by the Empress Dowager, on her head! No wonder so many people looked over! And there is still hesitation or envy or surprise in the eyes!

A princess actually wore the holy relics of the former queen and the queen mother on her head, with her status as a princess, is she worthy?

No wonder Li Rongxi also looked at her phoenix crown with that kind of surprised gaze, as well as the hesitant words, and after listening to her detailed explanation at that time, where did his cold snort and similar sarcastic words come from!

The funny thing is that she didn't think much about it at that time, and didn't ask too much, so she rushed over! So much so that Li Yongxi just wanted to remind her again, and even let her take it down, there was no time!

She is simply self-inflicted! What would these people think of her? Would it have occurred to her that she had some ulterior relationship with His Majesty? Or what would Lee Yong-hee think? In fact, she really had a few flaws in front of Li Rongxi!

It's just that the person doesn't seem to think much about her and Li Rongxu's improper relationship! After all, in the eyes of everyone, His Majesty the Emperor is a good young man of eighteen years old, and she is an old woman two years older than His Majesty the Emperor, a woman with a missing body, or his imperial sister-in-law, who would have thought of His Majesty the Emperor's heavy taste?

Thinking of this, she put her instantly anxious heart in her stomach, and she didn't kneel down in a hurry, nor did she stand up and explain anything anxiously, just sat there, and said with a faint smile: "No wonder this princess found that everyone's eyes were looking over, I see!" Thank you Princess Zichen for solving the doubts of the imperial sister-in-law! I'm usually not in good health, and my personality is coarse, so I didn't even notice it! ”

Speaking of this, she frowned again and looked at Xiang Zhi and Pei Lan, who looked trembling with panic, and her tone was light and stern: "This princess didn't notice, you two are close to managing the affairs of this princess, and you didn't even notice that this phoenix crown is the beloved thing of the Holy Queen Mother?" ”

And the two of them knelt down with a "poof" and said: "Princess, this national color Tianxiang Golden Phoenix Crown slave was indeed negligent when she recorded the storage!" The slave maid didn't expect that this phoenix crown was one of the dowry gifts from the Emperor Taishang to the Holy Queen Mother! ”

The two girls knelt there, kowtowing to explain, and the direction they faced was the empress dowager and Princess Zichen. There were pitiful tears on the faces of the two, and even their foreheads were bruised soon because of the vigorous kowtow!

These two girls are just too careless and careless! This is the fate of their assertion and currying up with Li Rongxu! Let herself become the focus of everyone, the important thing is to give the two of them a punishment!

And when she calmed down completely and came back to her senses, she naturally put her heart in her stomach and calmly responded to all changes. If it is really out of line or against the system, then Li Rongxi will let her take down the phoenix crown on her head no matter how much time she has! Even if he doesn't care about her and ignores her, but she is his princess after all, what did she do to make a shame, and the face of King Li Rongxi has nothing to do with it, right?

Sure enough, after hearing the explanations of Xiangzhi and Pei Lan, the Empress Dowager above, waved her hand and looked at Shao Xunmei, with generosity and charity in her eyes: "Forget it, Xunmei, it's not a big deal to say, as for you being so strict?" Strictly speaking, this phoenix crown was given to you by His Majesty, and it is understandable that you have not heard of the dowry of the Holy Queen Mother, and His Majesty did not specifically inform you. And when the Holy Queen Mother entered the palace at that time, she entered the palace as a concubine, so there is no place for you to wear this phoenix crown today, so don't blame you two girls! It's still a good day, what's the matter with you teaching your two girls so bad? Why, do you show off your princess's majesty? I'm not afraid of outsiders' jokes! If you want to teach you a lesson, you will learn a lesson! ”

In the end, the voice had obviously become stern, and it meant that she was ignorant and regardless of the occasion!

And Shao Xunmei heard the Empress Dowager's accusation, and did not feel that she couldn't get off the stage, but just put her mind at ease, got up slightly and bowed to the Empress Dowager and said: "What my grandmother taught me is that it was my granddaughter-in-law who was rude because she was anxious and worried!" Let the princess and the princess see the joke, sorry! ”

In the end, he politely and decently blessed the princess of southern Xinjiang and the little princess on the opposite side.

The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction and withdrew her blaming gaze, while the Crown Princess of Southern Xinjiang practiced a stiff and somewhat weird Central Plains tone and said, "It's okay!" But the Queen Mother and the princess are serious! Only then did this crown princess know that there were so many rules in your capital! I don't know if our family Urado will be able to adapt to the rules of this palace in the future! ”

With that, he smiled and looked lovingly at the little girl who was dressed in a bewitching robe of red and black, with mysterious totems painted on her face, and a scorpion as a pet in her hand.

Sure enough, this little girl is really a little princess in southern Xinjiang! And it is really the object of Li Rongxu's relationship in the future!

At this time, Princess Zichen above smiled slightly, with a crisp swaying voice in her voice: "It seems that Uladow is destined to be my imperial sister-in-law!" Here, do I have to call my sister-in-law in advance? And her voice looked at Urado with a little narrowness at the end, and her round apricot eyes were full of evil smiles!

And Ulador stomped her feet with some hatred, twisted her waist, and the totem and honey-colored skin on her face could not see her shyness and blush, but could feel the pungent and savage of this little girl from her language: "Li Rongzhen, you talk nonsense again, be careful that Princess Ben tears your mouth!" ”

And Princess Zichen was not to be outdone, she just gave her a roll of her eyes and provoked: "Hehe, you have the ability to tear up this princess!" I'm afraid you don't have that ability to just open your mouth! Cut! "That's a voice of disdain!

Then this little princess named Urado was about to roll up her sleeves and have a big fight with Princess Zichen on the spot, and her voice was full of anger: "Li Rongzhen, you come down for this princess!" See if I dare! ”

It's like a big deal if you don't get along with language!

It seems that these two princesses are still very familiar with each other in private, and they are so familiar that they call each other by name! And she still knows that the name of this Princess Zichen is Li Rongzhen!

And although the two princesses are very familiar, it seems that the relationship is a little tense? She has also heard about it these days, because of the relationship between the crown princess and the princess of southern Xinjiang and the little princess envoy to Dawei, their children are accompanied by Li Tingye and the daughter of King Qingping, and the little princess of southern Xinjiang is accompanied by Princess Zichen!

It can really be said that it has given enough face to southern Xinjiang. The other envoys from Northern Mongolia and Xiliang did not have this honor and face, and besides, the envoys they sent were not as grand as those from Southern Xinjiang, and their highest status was just a prince of Xiliang! And Beimeng directly sent their prime minister! And this prime minister is still a Central Plains person!

Therefore, the people who received them were also the children of the royal family and the people of the Ministry of Rites! It's really a courtesy.

And the Empress Dowager glanced at Princess Zichen with a stern expression, and said slowly: "Zichen, whoever comes is a guest, don't be rude!" ”

And the Southern Xinjiang Crown Princess Pu also looked at Ulado with disgust: "Uladuo, pay attention to your language and identity!" ”

Then because of the persuasion of these two people, the two little girls quickly glanced at each other, their eyes were full of provocation, and they soon stopped talking, and turned their eyes away from each other, not looking at each other!

And the ladies and ladies of the family looked at this scene with some dumbfoundedness, I really can't imagine that the noble and elegant Princess Zichen of their Great Wei Dynasty has been accompanying the Emperor Taishang to live in the Quchi Garden for the past two years, and the princess who has been held in the palm of her hand by the Holy Queen Mother and the Emperor Taishang is so arrogant and arrogant, she actually fights with people if she doesn't agree with each other!

This elegant and mysterious image of Princess Zichen in the past two years has been completely ruined!

And the lunch is very rich, and even in order to take care of the feelings of the distinguished guests, the dishes of southern Xinjiang are also served, bright and spicy, and there are them at every feast, so that those noble ladies and ladies of the family will have numb hair and eyes when they see the red and bright chili peppers, and their eyes will be stunned.

And the princess of southern Xinjiang ate the red and bright chili pepper in her mouth with an ordinary face, and even the little princess of southern Xinjiang put a red dish with chopsticks into her mouth and glanced at Princess Zichen provocatively.

And Princess Zichen, when she saw the red and bright chili peppers with chopsticks, her face changed, and she didn't even have time to provoke Uraduo! About, on top of the chili pepper, Zichen ate the loss of Ulado!

Sure enough, then I saw Princess Zichen glaring at Urado with hatred again!

And Shao Xunmei used chopsticks to pick up the red and bright sour bamboo shoots and red peppers and tasted it, it was sour and spicy, acceptable, the degree of Chaotian pepper is about the special pepper in southern Xinjiang!

Chaotian pepper is also very spicy!

And she wasn't afraid of spicy before! Then she looked at the red spicy chicken, and the whole fish, evenly covered with green chili peppers on one side, red chili peppers on the other, it looked very good-looking, so she couldn't help but stretch out her chopsticks and sandwich a chopsticks of fish, it was indeed delicious, and it tasted a lot!

Then, Princess Zichen seemed to have discovered a new continent, and looked at Shao Xunmei with surprise in her eyes, almost worshipping her!

And she looked at Ulador so proudly, and the look in her eyes seemed to say: So what! This princess can't eat spicy, but my sister-in-law can! Hum! What do you think is so great about your southern Xinjiang cuisine? Hum!

And when Ulador watched Shao Xunmei take a bite of chopsticks without pausing, she actually glanced at the beautiful Princess Ding with appreciation: Well, this princess doesn't look annoying!

Therefore, she was in a good mood and did not bother with Princess Zichen's provocation.

The lunch passed in a peaceful atmosphere. (To be continued.) )
