Chapter 56
The clothes and jewelry that Yan Xiaoqi brought back, in fact, Xu was not the only one who was so shocked that he almost vomited blood, Lu Ping and Xiangling took the box bag happily, and as soon as they opened it, they were stunned in place. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The neat head is wrapped and carefully lying in the box, there are hairpins and rings, and there are steps like a bird's tail, and there is no wind automatically.
It's just that the golden color, the large pieces of red coral and gems inlaid on it, made the two maids feel for the first time what a strong local tyrant style is.
Doesn't her young lady like light and elegant the most? Why did the taste suddenly change so much?
What about the tacit understanding? What about the tacit agreement?
The two of them turned their heads a little weakly to look at Yan Xiaoqi, who was sitting at the table drinking tea, and a sense of powerlessness once again surged in their hearts.
Tomorrow's spring banquet, is it true that her young lady will dress up like this?
The two big girls, who didn't dare to think about it at all, checked Yan Xiaoqi's jewelry box again, hoping to make up a decent set of jewelry, just matching the big red.
The spring banquet was ordered by the emperor, presided over by the crown prince of the dynasty, and assisted by several officials, whether it was the scale or the guests, it can be called the highest level of banquet in the capital except for the Mid-Autumn Festival and the New Year's palace banquet.
Many officials, especially those with low grades, do not have the intention of being selected by their children, and only hope to show their faces, be favored by nobles, and secretly promote.
Yan Xiaoqi didn't know what kind of waves Zhang Yu's actions caused in the capital, under the dress of Luping and Xiangling, she was red like a bride to be married, and walked out of the Hou Mansion with her head raised.
The hibiscus garden in spring, the blue waves are sparkling, the color of the lotus leaves stretching on the river surface has not yet turned into a thick green under the nourishment of the sun, and a leaf floats gently and shallowly on the surface of the lake, revealing a little shy sharp corners.
All the winding corridors in the garden have already been trimmed and cleaned, and the tables of the main hall for banquets have also been neatly arranged.
The road to the Hibiscus Garden has been crowded since the morning, Yan Xiaoqi sat in the carriage, only to feel that the carriage stopped and stopped, and the road that could be completed in half an hour took twice as long.
The carriage began to line up at the corner, and little by little it moved to the door, and everyone in the carriage quickly got up and got out of the car. Banquet attendants of this size were not allowed to be brought into the garden, but could only wait in the carriage and be taken by the guards in front of the door to the parking space set aside in the distance.
The three school-age girls in the Hou Mansion followed behind the second master Zhao Shu and the third master Zhao Mo and walked slowly into the garden. The warm spring breeze blows on the face, the new leaves of the weeping willows on the riverside are less than a finger, the green shade of the new glory surrounds, the clothes are fragrant and the sideburns, the beads are green, and the maids who are guarding the door are dressed calmly and decently.
Yan Xiaoqi was careful not to let herself become Grandma Liu, but on the way to the main hall, the scenery in the garden would still make her slightly distracted.
The noble ladies got together, or stood on the bank of the Qujiang River and watched the koi in the river, or sat in the corridor, covering their faces with fans and chatting privately, or walking on the tree-lined paths, visiting the garden and enjoying the scenery, that comfort made Yan Xiaoqi's heart rise up with countless thoughts.
"The banquet will have to wait a little longer before it starts, there are many people today, don't walk around, follow me into the temple." Zhao Shu stood in front of the three of them, his face was calm, and his aura that had been an official for many years leaked like domineering, so that the three little girls who were not deeply involved in the world couldn't help but nod.
Zhao Shu's gaze swept over Yan Xiaoqi, who was extremely swaggering, and he always felt that this girl had been a little weird in the past few months.
As soon as he entered the park, he found that everyone who passed by Yan Xiaoqi couldn't help but raise their eyes to look at her.
On the cheeks of the white first snow, the jet-black eyes are like ink spots, the eyelashes that are as long as cicada wings are always unconsciously fanning, covering the eyes with a trace of confusion, the red lips unconsciously slightly purse reflect the ruddy luster, and the long black hair is pulled out of the flying bun by the skillful Xiangling, with the set of red coral hairpin rings, lined with the red shirt skirt, like the most gorgeous hibiscus flowers on the branches in this spring, proud and dazzling.
Yan Xiaoqi didn't care about the scrutiny of others, she was quite satisfied with her eye-catching clothes, she didn't know if she would have the opportunity to see Zhang Yu alone today, if she couldn't find a suitable opportunity, she could only rely on this way of standing out, so that he could see her at a glance in the crowd.
In less than three moments, the crown prince and the eighth prince appeared at the door of the main hall under the communication of the chamberlain, everyone in the hall stood up to greet them, and Yan Xiaoqi stood behind Zhao Shu and bowed down with everyone.
A shocking gaze swept straight from the door, Yan Xiaoqi clenched her palms, and a trace of uneasiness passed through her heart, even if she didn't know what her predecessor was, but from the mouths of the two maids, she could also know that it was a person with eight faces, how could such a character easily make enemies with others?
It's not the trouble caused by her ex, it's for her, could it be that Sun Bei?!
Yan Xiaoqi sat back in her seat and hid behind Zhao Shu, at this moment, she no longer wanted to wait for Zhang Yu to see her at a glance in the crowd, the shock was pressed on her chest, and it seemed that she couldn't get out.
The maids neatly entered from the side door of the main hall, and began to present dishes one after another, such as browned crispy duck, milky white fish balls, and oily barbecue. . . These dishes that make Yan Xiaoqi, who is not happy with meat, excited on weekdays, have lost their allure.
The sound of the piano was loud, and the enchanting dancer appeared in the middle of the hall with the pipa, which was a rare scene, but it made her more and more unable to sit still.
The murderous gaze always swept over her from time to time, but she didn't dare to find the source of the sight, so she could only hide behind people like an ostrich.
At the end of the Shen period, the banquet was coming to an end, and the prince, who was sitting at the top, finally got up with a smile and said: "It is rare for the Lord to go down the mountain once in a hundred years, and the Qing family will go with the palace to greet each other." ”
There are some things that don't need to be said too clearly, they are all people in the officialdom who know what they hear, and they raise their hands to each other with a smile and humblely, you and I took their respective daughters out of the hall and came to the bank of the Qujiang River.
Xi Yu was followed by two little disciples wearing blue and gray Taoist uniforms, standing by the river with their hands in their hands, with a bun on their heads, and their long hair that fell down was draped behind him like brocade, the river breeze blew, and the corners of the wide robe sleeves were blown by the hunting sound, as if they were going to ride the wind away.
The prince led the people to the bottom of the stairs, stopped, and bowed with respect: "See the Lord." ”
Xi Yu turned around, his hanging eyes were picked up at will, and his plain face was like thousands of lotus flowers on the river in the middle of summer in Qujiang, beautiful and enchanting, and he was stunned by the people who didn't have time to salute.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to be so polite," Xi Yu waved his hand casually: "Take me to thank your father and the emperor." ”
The prince didn't say much, just bowed down and made another big salute, and Yan Xiaoqi, who was watching, couldn't help but pout secretly, this is a score!
