Chapter Seventy-One: The Lotus Feast
Ask for a collection! It hasn't risen for another three days, and it seems that there is still one vote missing, crying bitterly!!
In the study room of King Ning of King Ning's Mansion, Qi Anning frowned, "You said that Yueniang followed Jiang Siyan, Tang Haifeng, and Zhu Bin for a whole day?" ”
Zhao Chengyi added weakly on the side: "Master, there are also Miss Yang, Miss Jiang and Miss Zhu." ”
"Hmph, a woman who doesn't know how to go, doesn't she know that going out like this is not good for her reputation?"
Zhao Cheng muttered in his heart: Master, you are making too much fuss, which noble girl in the Imperial City has never played like this. But he didn't dare to make a sound.
After a while, King Ning asked, "What did they say?" What was played? ”
"In the morning, they all tasted tea in the courtyard, Miss Yang played the guzheng, the Jiang family lady and the Zhu family danced, and later the second young master of the Zhu family played the flute accompaniment......"
King Ning snorted impatiently, "Huh? ”
Zhao Cheng's voice changed, "Well, in the end, Yueniang played the quqin, and the eldest young master of the Jiang family played the flute accompaniment...... but the more he was behind, the weaker his voice became.
"Hmph, what's the tune?"
"This? Our people haven't heard of it, but then they inquired and said that it was "Smiling Proud Jianghu". ”
"Get me the score. What did they do in the afternoon? ”
At this time, Zhao Cheng relaxed, "Oh, I was playing polo in the afternoon, Yue Niangzi didn't seem to have played, she studied for a long time, and she lost a few goals at the beginning, but then she played better and better, and defeated Tang Gongzi and them." ”
Qi Anning suddenly asked, "Who is she on a team with?" ”
Zhao Cheng thought about it, and sighed in his heart, it seemed that he didn't want to hide anything, "Well, it's the eldest young master of the Jiang family." ”
"Hmph, you keep an eye on them for me, if something like this happens in the future, this king will skin you."
Zhao Cheng grew up with Qi Anning since he was a child, and he was used to seeing that iceberg face, and he was not afraid of death and said, "Yes, master." In the future, I will inform you as soon as the moon lady goes out, and resolutely do not let the moon lady come into contact with other men. ”
"Get out."
Ning Wang sat quietly for a while, picked up the brush and splashed ink on the rice paper, for a long time, a face that looked like Xiaoyue jumped on the paper, got up and entered the lounge behind, hung the painting on the wall, and saw that there were already six portraits on the wall, as if it was the same person. The first picture on the far left is the back of a woman, with a shell coral bell belt tied around her waist, the second is a masked woman standing in the living room, the background of the third painting is a masked woman in a white Confucian skirt on the dock, the fourth is a woman who is having a meal, the fifth is a woman wearing a Hu costume and a bow, the sixth is a woman with a clever smile, and the woman who just hung up is a woman sitting and playing the piano.
Yan Xiaoyue and Xiaoxiao rested in the mansion for a few days, and received an invitation to enjoy flowers from the Jin Wangfu in early August.
Xiaoyue calculated, at this time, the lotus flowers in the Jin Palace's Mansion are all in bloom, so a large number of precious varieties will all bloom must be beautiful and thrilling, although I am worried that there will be any emergencies, but I can't refuse the temptation of the beautiful scenery, Yan Xiaoyue is still ready to follow Fang Yajie and Xiaoxiao to the Jin Palace.
When I waited until the Jin Palace, I found that today is not only to enjoy the lotus, but also a lot of beautiful flowers to appreciate, one by one, it is estimated that the bottom of the pressure box is put on, dressed up or rich, or coquettish, or innocent and cute, a bunch of women together, the strong fragrance of fat powder rushes straight to the nose and mouth, causing Yan Xiaoyue to avoid walking far away.
After following Fang Yajie and the princess and her wife, she took Xiaoxiao to find Jiang Siyao, and only after inquiring did she really affirm it, this is a blind date banquet in disguise, the princess and her wife and the ladies are all on the west side of the water pavilion, and the prince and the invited young masters and sons are active on the east side of the water pavilion, and they will perform in the lobby of the water pavilion in the afternoon, and the dinner is also used in the lobby.
Yan Xiaoyue asked Cangtian speechlessly, isn't it just to look at the lotus, why do you want to do so many things? Seeing that the hour is still early, I will enjoy the lotus flowers along the water pavilion corridor with Xiaoxiao, these lotus flowers are worthy of being a famous species, this is a pure flower that is clear and not demonic, and it is hard to bloom a little gorgeous and extravagant, especially the big sprinkle brocade, rich in color, layered, proudly standing in the green curtain, like a fairy above the nine heavens exudes endless temptation but disdains you.
Yang Xiao'er looked at it and sighed: "Sister, these flowers are so beautiful, if only we could grow them in Yuehuazhuang." ”
"Hmph, dirt buns. Don't look at your own identity, these precious varieties can also be grown by people like you. "It's really a narrow road, as soon as Yan Xiaoyue turned around, she saw Li Yuzhi coming with a few ladies.
"Yo, which princess should I be driving, with such a big tone, dare to ask Miss Li, what is your identity?"
Li Yuzhi raised her head, "It's definitely better than you, an orphan girl." ”
"You're better than me? What's the strength? After Yan Xiaoyue finished speaking, she stared at her face and body and turned around.
"You ......"
"Miss Li, people are precious in knowing themselves, don't look for trouble, if you want to be famous on this occasion, please don't ask our sisters to make a raft, our family rules are very strict, and we can't afford to lose this face."
Li Yuzhi angrily pointed at Xiaoyue with a fan, "You, you are presumptuous, I want to tell my sister that you have bullied our Li family." ”
Yan Xiaoyue looked at her with idiotic eyes, "Please." After speaking, he walked to the other side with Xiaoxiao.
Li Yuzhi could only watch the people leave from the sidelines, and there was nothing she could do. If such an important banquet today is ruined because of her, I am afraid that my sister will not be able to spare her. Thinking of one thing, he said proudly: Hmph, Yan Xiaoyue, Miss Ben will let you go for the time being, there will be you good-looking today.
Yan Xiaoyue and Xiaoxiao walked around the Lotus Garden for more than an hour, their stomachs had already sung empty city plans, they drank three bowls of tea, and went to the toilet twice before waiting for the maid to come, and led them to the lobby of the Water Pavilion.
sat down on the desk behind Yang's respectively, hid behind Yang's and slowly lifted the corner of the veil and ate a few pastries with milk tea, felt a little more comfortable in his stomach before stopping, looked at the hall, put two desks and four chairs on the head, and some sons had already been seated opposite, Jiang Siyan was on the left side of Xiaoyue, his next head was Tang Haifeng and Zhu Bin, and several sons he had seen during the hunt were also among them, Xiaoyue's side was seated by ladies and little ladies, Jiang Siyao happened to be at a table in front of her, when Xiaoyue looked over, Si Yao was also looking around, and saw Xiao Yue blooming a big smile, her body was crooked to Xiao Yue's side, and she pointed to Xiao Xiaoxiao's side with her finger, Xiao Yue smiled softly, got up and changed her seat and sat on the other side of Xiao Xiao Xiao close to Jiang Siyao, Si Yao moved the chair to Xiao Yue's side, "I'm happy to see you, save me from suffocating for a while." ”
"How can it be boring?"
Jiang Siyao pouted and said: "Who knows what the little lady here does, everyone already knows it, what's the point of showing it off every year?" ”
"Hehe, I think you're jealous."
"What, their performance is nothing more than to win more chips for themselves, and Miss Ben disdains it!"
Yan Xiaoyue just smiled, this is the so-called confidence, people standing at the top of the pyramid naturally can't feel their painstaking competition for their future lives, just like Zhu Yan, a little girl, if she doesn't ask for something, how can she keep following Jiang Siyao? This is not the gap brought about by identity, if Yang Mocheng was not the teacher of the two princes, and if she was not a close confidant of His Majesty the Emperor, it would be impossible for her Yan Xiaoyue to sit here as a righteous daughter, so it is said that power is the only criterion for determining status, especially in ancient times.
