Chapter 83: The Rite of Passage (4)
Chu Yueqing had no intention of entangling with Lehua anymore, so he gave her the golden silk.
Lehua thanked him and left.
――
Yu Wuxiao followed behind King Cheng and Zhao Yu, and his heart was entangled.
"No Shaw." Ou Shiqiu saw that he looked abnormal, so he pulled him over.
Yu Wuxiao was immersed in his own world, and at this time, he suddenly pulled back to reality with no external force.
My heart shook suddenly, "Shiqiu." ”
"What are you thinking?" Ou Shiqiu asked.
The two grew up together since childhood, and they have been brothers for more than ten years. Ou Shiqiu's understanding of Yu Wuxiao may even exceed Yu Wuxiao's understanding of himself.
At this time, Yu Wuxiao just called his name, and he already knew why he was worried.
Ou Shiqiu sighed, remembering the news about "her" brought by Dong'er yesterday, and felt even more sorry for Yu Wuxiao in his heart.
It should be a good story of a talented and beautiful woman, but God will make people!
"Have you seen the youngest daughter of the Zhao family? In fact, it may not be Princess Cheng who saved you back then. Xiao Dong said that he would visit the palace of King Cheng tonight to see if Princess Cheng matched the portrait you gave. ”
"Why do you need Xiaodong to take risks, someone in the Hou Mansion knows." was pulled back to reality, and Yu Wuxiao was already calm.
He couldn't get an answer when he followed King Cheng and Zhao Yu, and his questions could not be asked to Zhao Yu, let alone King Cheng.
"Cousin Yueqing?" Ou Shiqiu raised his eyebrows, not thinking it was a good idea. With his observation in the shadows for so many years, Yueqing will not pay attention to what Princess Cheng looks like at all!
However, it is not advisable to give it a try.
The luncheon officially began, and after Chu Yueqing greeted Lehou, he sat silently at his table. She was a little worried about Xuanyuan Hao, and she didn't know if her uncle and Mrs. Kang had given injections?
Looking at the table full of delicious delicacies, she seemed a little absent-minded. It would be nice if Xuanyuan Hao was also there...
"Princess Hao," a timid voice sounded in Chu Yueqing's ears.
When Chu Yueqing heard the reputation, he saw the girl who was bullied by Zhao Yu.
"Yun Fang is here to thank the princess." Xie Yunfang was about to bow down as she spoke.
Chu Yueqing hurriedly stopped her, "I didn't help you either, you don't need to be polite." ”
Xie Yunfang's eyes lit up, "Sister thinks so too?" Don't hide it from my sister, Yun Fang thinks so too, in fact, sister, you just didn't come out at that time, Yun Fang was able to get out. ”
"Oh, do you have a way to get out?" Chu Yueqing said curiously.
"Run," Xie Yunfang smiled brightly, "She can't catch up with me, my mother has been training my running ability since I was a child, and none of the nobles in Beijing can run past me." ”
Chu Yueqing: "......" curiosity is broken!
"Sister," Xie Yunfang said, "don't you believe me?" If you don't believe me, I'll show you. ”
"No, I do. I just think your solution is too practical, why didn't I think of it! Heh, hehe~"
In the conversation between Chu Yueqing and Xie Yunfang, Lehua came dressed up.
The lively greetings in the hall came to an abrupt end, and Xie Yunfang also returned to her mother's place.
The white long jacket is slim and fitting, revealing Lehua's exquisite curves. There is a circle of snow-white fox fur around the neckline of the long jacket, which makes Lehua's face more and more fair and delicate.
Lehua held the silk jade qin in his hand, and walked to Li's side in a posture.
The ladies in the hall couldn't help but marvel at Lehua's demeanor.
Zhao Yu sat at the lower head of the left, opposite Chu Yueqing. She looked at Lehua who was coming towards her, and then looked at Yueqing who was calm and calm opposite, with a crazy sneer on her face.
Only this expression flashed, and everyone was still immersed in the amazement of Lehua and did not notice it.
Chu Yueqing couldn't take his eyes off the dishes after Xie Yunfang left, and missed Xuanyuan Hao.
Lehua put the silk jade qin on the empty table in front of him, smiled lightly, and the room was full of light.
"Mrs. Hou is so blessed~" The official ladies began to praise Lehua and the Li family.
In addition to the female dependents, there are also many male guests from Lehou's mansion today.
Because there are many noble ladies who will choose their future husbands through banquets. Therefore, every year, the ladies of Beijing are not only invited to the ceremony, but also many sons of the family, and the heroes of the Beijing will be invited.
The female and male guests are separated by several screens, and they cannot see each other's faces.
At this time, Lehou and King Cheng sat together in the main seat.
Men and guests know each other well.
This is not just a simple banquet, the undercurrent surging between the courts has become more and more enthusiastic.
Caring people have already analyzed the situation, the eldest prince was demoted to the border, the second prince died early, the fourth prince was mediocre, the fifth prince was stupid, and the seventh prince... It's an idle prince.
In this situation, the three princes, who have long been involved in politics and have made good political achievements and military exploits, are the most likely to become the future princes.
And the news that King Cheng asked to marry the second daughter of Le Hou has long spread throughout the noble circle of the capital. If he has the support of the forces in Lehou's army, King Cheng will already control half of the Great Qi
Although they have analyzed things thoroughly in their hearts, it has long been their habit to be cautious in their words and deeds.
Moreover, Lehou is a military general, who fights on the battlefield all year round. Cheng is a high and powerful throne, and his mind is extremely secret. The two of them sat on the top position, and a powerful aura was formed.
No one dares to speak falsely.
After a while, the commotion on the side of the female dependents also quieted down.
Chu Yueqing heard a beautiful piano sound in his ears, followed by Lehua's ethereal soft chanting.
The song closed and won the applause of the house. King Cheng's eyes also flashed with a hint of amazement.
The male guest finally has a topic to talk about.
Around Lehua's beauty and talent, this banquet is coming to an end.
Outside Lehou's mansion, Yang Gonggong stepped out of the carriage with a wedding paper book in his hand.
The snow in the sky has not diminished at all, but is getting worse and worse.
Uncle Luo came to report to the Marquis of Le, saying that Gonggong Yang was here. Here, Lehua's maid said the same thing.
In Lehua's eyes, he couldn't hide his joy.
Yang Gonggong stepped on the snow and read the holy decree in public.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Lehou's second daughter, Lehua. Virtuous and virtuous....specially bestowed the third prince Cheng Wang as a side concubine. Lehua, take the order. ”
The snow that fell in a row had no trace on Lehua's body.
She thanked her for receiving the order, and when she looked up at the king again, her eyes were shy and her eyes were full of affection.
"Father-in-law Yang, it's better to stay and drink hot tea before leaving." Lehou said.
This time, Gonggong Yang did not refuse, "Then our family will thank Master Hou." ”
――
In Shuiqing Pavilion, Granny Yu sat on the beam in black for two hours.
The old love is unforgettable, and the past cannot be traced.
Sixteen years ago, she made a choice, and now she can't regret it.
She jumped off the beam, walked to the desk, and wrote a few large characters with a pen and paper. Then he dodged and flew away.
After the banquet was over, Chu Yueqing, Xiaomei and Mo Lian rushed to the Shuiqing Pavilion.
The house was empty, Chu Yueqing looked around several times, but still didn't find Granny Yu. Chu Yueqing felt that Granny Yu didn't look like a person who would break her word, and then she looked at the beam of the house without giving up, it was still empty.
Nima, could it be that she came early?!
"Princess, here's a note." Xiaomei shouted.
Chu Yueqing took it, only to see three big words written on it: I'm leaving. (To be continued)
