Chapter 18: Calculation
Lu Siji was already sent out of the banquet by the emperor, leaving only Bai Qingting and Liu Dehai waiting beside him.
Under the royal case, the palace music is ethereal, the twelve dancing girls dance high, and the joy is infinite on the banquet.
The ministers talked in twos and threes, some were talking about idle things, and some were talking about their sons and daughters, which was quite good.
Si Jingming also gestured to the gentleman Heng on the desk where the civil official was sitting diagonally, and the gentleman Heng returned the salute with a smile.
Bai Qingting looked at the two of them, and then looked at the dancing girl who was dancing on the red carpet as if her waist branch was about to break, she didn't understand.
Whether it was a fake Qinggao or a true Taoist scholar, or an old person, they would all take a look at those dancing girls with graceful dancing waists, but these two people never looked at them from beginning to end, and they didn't even secretly glance at half of them.
Long Xuan turned his face slightly to Bai Qingting at this time and asked, "What is Bai Daizhao thinking?" ”
Bai Qingting replied truthfully, "The slave is thinking, this Si Dutong and Lord Jun should be quite good friends. ”
Long Xuan nodded, "The friendship between the two is indeed very expensive. ”
He glanced at the two young talents who were toasting each other and listening to each other's leisurely music under the imperial case, and said: "In another five years, you will be able to leave the palace in twenty-five, what do you want in the realm?" ”
Bai Qingting heard that the emperor's words meant something, and she didn't feel funny, she just said casually, how could she just get involved in this?
She said, "Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid has never thought about what will happen in five years. ”
Five years is too long to be long enough for anything unexpected to happen.
There are too many changes, too many changes, and she never bothers herself with such things.
Long Xuan saw that her face was talkative and well-behaved, and he didn't take the opportunity to open his mouth to him, he couldn't help but open his mouth first: "When the realm is in the realm, I can give you a marriage match." In the past five years, if you have someone who agrees with you, you will not mention it to me, and I will keep it in my heart. If it is appropriate, I will definitely agree. ”
Bai Qingting looked at the emperor unexpectedly, and as soon as he touched the pair of sharp black eyes, he hurriedly lowered his eyes and knelt down: "Slave and maid, thank Your Majesty Longen." ”
Although the ministers under the imperial case were talking in two or three, none of them were staring at the movements above the imperial case while chatting with their ears pricked up.
As soon as they heard the holy will, all the ministers secretly thought about it.
"Your Majesty just loves Bai Daizhao." Liu Dehai laughed softly.
Long Xuan's face turned to the other side and said with a smile, "I don't care about you either. ”
Liu Dehai smiled again.
Bai Qingting poured another glass of chrysanthemum wine for the emperor, and after pouring it, he stood quietly beside the emperor, without any intention of being complacent because of the emperor's favor.
After Long Xuanzhi drank the chrysanthemum wine, he suddenly asked Bai Qingting again: "Why do I have different patterns from the queen's rice brocade cake, and there are no people around?" ”
Because the emperor and the empress are a serious husband and wife, because she is a modern person, she has her own modern concept, and monogamy is unbreakable in her thoughts.
What's more, the original owner did such a thing.
Or this year's Dragon Boat Festival, it is the modern commonly known zongzi.
At that time, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor pointed to two plates of horned millet with different patterns of a dragon and a phoenix, and asked if the original owner was exactly the same as her now, but now he just replaced the protagonist horned millet with rice brocade cake.
Bai Qingting replied according to the original owner's answer at the time: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are the king of a country and the mother of a country. ”
Long Xuan didn't ask any more questions, looked at the hour, and before the hour, he took her out of the banquet and said that she should have fun by herself, and there was no need to wait for him.
Bai Qingting happily thanked him and retreated calmly.
After exiting the banquet of the Qianlong Palace, she went straight out of the Qianlong Palace, looked up at the cloudless sky, and remembered the dragon robe that was sent into the palace by the Li family and placed in the Qianxin Palace, which was exactly the same as the emperor was wearing at the moment.
She thought she was going to succeed.
During those ten days, in addition to making rice cakes and practicing her skills, she also made five messy double-sided embroidery more important in her spare time, and it took up almost all of her time, so that she was enough to become a teacher.
Bai Qingting stood outside the Qianlong Palace for a while, and said that Chongyang ascended to the heights to appreciate the chrysanthemum and fly a kite, and she had no way to climb the height, but she could still have it to enjoy the chrysanthemum and fly a kite.
As soon as she was thinking about walking in the direction of the Imperial Garden, a palace maid hurried over.
The palace maid bowed to her, smiled and showed two tiger teeth, it was the age of twelve when she first entered the palace, she respectfully asked: "Bai Daizhao, the slave maid is ordered by Princess Ansui, waiting here for Bai Daizhao to be free, and specially invite Bai Daizhao to fly kites to the east of the imperial garden." ”
Princess Ansui, the emperor's twelfth princess Long Mei, born by Concubine Cai De of the four concubines, is twelve years old, the youngest of all the princesses, but also the only princess who has not been married to be titled.
Most of the princesses in the palace are engaged or married, and the emperor will grant the title.
When this Long Mei was nine years old, she was personally crowned Princess Ansui by the emperor, intending to be safe and peaceful.
Ordinary princesses don't dare to openly ask her to play, especially on days like these.
Only this Princess Ansui dared to come to Qianlong Palace to rob the emperor.
"How long have you been here?"
"After waiting for two quarters of an hour, the slave and maid Xiaojie came back and saw Bai Daizhao standing outside the Qianlong Palace."
Bai Qingting already had this intention, and there was no reason to refuse at this time, so after asking a few words casually, he nodded and went with the palace maid.
When you arrive at the Imperial Garden, there are whole chrysanthemums blooming in the south, the colors are gorgeous, and they are the first to win the championship, and the queen and the imperial concubine are leading the concubines and their wives to enjoy the chrysanthemums here.
The most striking scenery in the west is the water corridor of nine songs and eighteen consecutive links, in which there is no shortage of pavilions and pavilions, there are mountains and rivers, it is a good place for the prince, the prince and the sons to discuss the way.
To the east was the place she was going, a vast green meadow, which made her sigh that the greenery was so good.
Its field of vision is wide, there is no obstruction, the sky is bright, the cool breeze is gentle, it is a good time to fly kites and play, and it is also a good place for princesses and ladies to play.
As soon as Bai Qingting entered the east, he walked a short distance with the palace maid, and saw Long Mei leading the crowd forward and calling affectionately: "Sister Bai Daizhao!" ”
She bowed and saluted, "Princess Ansui." ”
"Sister Bai Daizhao, I heard that Eighth Sister said that you fly the kite best, is it true?" Long Mei is innocent and splendid, and her height is not as tall as Bai Qingting's neck.
Before she could answer, the eighth princess Long Lian had already followed, and when she heard Long Mei's words, she continued: "That's not it! Eighth Sister didn't blame you. ”
The eighth princess, Long Lian, the fourth concubine Wang Shufei, is fourteen years old and has not yet married.
Bai Qingting bowed again: "Eighth princess." ”
Long Lian pulled out a smile and bowed slightly.
Long Mei tugged at her sleeve, "Sister Bai Daizhao, is it true?" ”
Bai Qingting said, "It's true, but that was in the past, and now life is much stranger." ”
In the past, it was true, it was the original owner, but now that she is her, she is really ordinary, and in modern times she doesn't seem to have flown a kite.
However, if you haven't eaten pork and seen a pig run, it shouldn't be difficult to think about it.
She thought so, so when Long Mei asked her to demonstrate it herself for them to take a good look at, she readily agreed.
Bai Qingting is holding Long Mei's butterfly kite, so childish, but doesn't the little girl like such childish and shiny things.
She couldn't imagine herself running with it, so she measured the direction of the wind and ran against it, the longer the string in her hand and the higher the kite flew.
It was that easy, she thought.
However, happiness is always easy to be sad.
When her right foot stepped on the purple jade beads on the outer pressure of the long skirt, she couldn't control her whole body and rushed forward, Bai Qingting's face turned white.
Now she is not afraid of fire or water, she is afraid of this wrestling!
Bai Qingting threw herself on the grass, face down, her mouth swooping into the broken grass, grasping a few green grasses in one hand, and pulling the kite string in the other, looking extremely embarrassed, and her head was buzzing in her ears like thousands of bees.
