Chapter 186: The Banquet for Choosing a Concubine (2)
Yu Linglong nodded towards Bai Wenyuan, and Bai Wenyuan also followed to see Yu Linglong leave. Bai Wenyuan watched Yu Linglong leave, and gently handed the queen's decree to Bai Jinxiu. Bai Jinxiu opened it and looked at it, "Father, what does Niangniang mean?" "Xiu'er, now my father can't help you, you have to go to the palace!" Losing his trust in his daughter, Bai Wenyuan felt that he had no face.
But the right thing to say is, "Father, I know." Bai Jinxiu looked at Bai Wenyuan firmly, smiling at each other, but forcing a smile. Soon, on the first day of the first lunar month, it was also the day when the banquet was held in the palace. The civil and military officials, the nobles of the capital are all waiting for their wives and children to enter the palace, this is a great opportunity, not only to look at the saint from a quiet distance, the queen.
There are also many princes and princesses, if they can, their daughters can fly on the branches and become phoenixes. How many officials dream of something, so tonight's palace must be very lively. At this moment in Baifu, naturally Mei Shi is not able to participate. After all, Mei's belly is big. No matter how grand the banquet is, Mei's stomach doesn't promise, then there is no way, Mei's can only sigh helplessly. The Meng family and the Lian family are dressed beautifully, and today they represent the Bai Mansion to participate in the banquet in the palace.
In Mei's courtyard, Mei's was cautious and explained Bai Jinxiu. "Xiu'er, you have to be flexible and act according to your father's eyes, you know? But don't make any mistakes, be very vigilant. It's not that the mother spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, you have to be careful with your second and third aunts, you know? Mei told Bai Jinxiu uneasily, but her daughter, if something happened.
I am also responsible, "Mother, Xiu'er will pay careful attention, and Xiu'er will go first." Mother, you are waiting for news from Xiu'er in the house. Bai Jinxiu looked at Mei reluctantly, and Mei looked at Bai Jinxiu's back as he left. I was very worried, "Honggu, did you say that something unexpected would happen?" Mei looked at Honggu, and Honggu next to her naturally wanted to coax Mei.
"Madam, the second young lady is so smart, she will definitely be fine." Honggu's words made Mei shake her head in disagreement, "Honggu, do you know? Although I didn't want to see Xiu'er before, but now I only have one daughter, Xiu'er, who forced me to do so. She is my daughter, I hope God can bless Xiu'er safely! "Mei is a gentle mother at the moment.
"Madam, don't worry, the second lady is smart and will be fine. Take good care of the baby in your belly and put your heart in your belly! Mei nodded slightly, there was no other way but this now. Bai Wenyuan was dressed in court clothes, waiting for Bai Jinxiu and the people in the second and third rooms in the hall at the moment. Of course, the Meng family brought Bai Jinyue and Bai Jinya here, and of course the Meng family spent a lot of thought on Bai Jinya. After all, Bai Jinyue is a man, and today the focus is on the concubine selection banquet.
Bai Jinya gently followed behind Meng and Bai Wenge, wearing a light purple dress with light blue lotus flowers embroidered on the cuffs. The silver thread outlined a few auspicious clouds, and the hem was densely packed with a row of blue water. The chest is wrapped in a wide piece of brocade, and the body gently turns the long skirt and spreads out. With tassels at will, the hairline is obliquely inserted into the hibiscus warm jade step, the eyebrows and eyes are lightly swept with spring, and the skin is as delicate as warm jade, soft and greasy.
The cherry mouth is not dotted and red, delicate and beautiful, the two strands of hair on the cheeks are gently brushed with the wind, adding a bit of seductive style, and the pearl earrings in the ears are swaying. It looked even more bright and moving, and Bai Jinya raised her head proudly and looked at Bai Jinxiu. As for Bai Wenping and Lian in the third room, Bai Jinguang, Bai Jinwen and Bai Jinlian came, Bai Jinwen was wearing a large peony emerald green smoke yarn Bixialuo, and a pink narcissus scattered flowers and green leaf skirt that mopped the floor.
Dressed in thin gold silk smoke and green veil. The low-hanging sideburns are obliquely inlaid with pearls and jasper hairpins, and the flowers and moons are out of the water hibiscus. Lian's was very proud to look at Meng's family, and it was still his daughter who was beautiful. And more importantly, in the past few years in the field, Lian's family has specially prepared for Bai Jinwen. gave Bai Jinwen a lot of supplements, so now Bai Jinwen's body is very plump.
The development is also relatively early, which is the proudest thing of the Lian family. Thinking about Lian's mouth, the corners of his mouth hooked up a shallow smile, and the most unremarkable was Bai Jinlian. Although Lian's said that he was taking Bai Jinlian with him, Bai Jinlian was not Lian's biological daughter after all, and she couldn't always dress Bai Jinlian's dead girl brightly. Better than your own daughter, isn't that a fool?
White brocade green emerald smoke shirt, scattered flowers, water mist and green grass pleated skirt, wearing a thin smoke veil of emerald water, shoulders if shaved into a waist, if the skin is condensed like a quiet orchid. Coquettish and boneless. There is no excessive dressing and embellishment, but Bai Jinlian's own temperament is good. Bai Jinxiu smiled shallowly at Bai Jinlian, and Bai Wenyuan looked at everyone coming, "Let's go!" "It's time to go to the palace, it's not too early.
When Bai Wenyuan and his party arrived at the gate of the palace, the road was really narrow, and they met the king of Zhennan and the Wu family, but this time they didn't bring Ma Tianze with them. King Zhennan has already asked Ma Tianze to think about it behind closed doors for a year, and now the time has not come. King Zhennan naturally would not let Ma Tianze go out, but came with Ma Tianhao. Wu's heart was angry, Ma Tianhao was just a concubine.
The son born to a slut, but the king of Zhennan is very fond of Ma Tianhao. Now his son can't come out, but he wants to take Ma Tianhao with him. Can Wu's heart not be angry? Bai Wenyuan and the others also got out of the car, and when they saw the king of Zhennan, Bai Wenyuan also greeted each other. The previous things were in the past, but in Wu's heart, they didn't pass, and Wu will always remember it.
It was the people of Baifu who harmed their precious son Ma Tianhao, and now the Wu family was also smiling at Bai Wenyuan reluctantly. But looking at Bai Jinxiu's eyes, it was with malice, and Bai Jinxiu also knew it. The Wu family must hate himself, after all, in the eyes of the Wu family, he is making trouble with the king of Zhennan. Let the king of Zhennan toss Ma Tianze, and soon a eunuch came to invite Bai Jinxiu, Bai Wenyuan and others to the table.
When it came to his position, Lian was excited, "Xianggong, when can we meet the saint and the queen, as well as a few princes and princesses." Lian was curious, and he was looking forward to it. I don't know what the prince and grandson look like, and the concubines in the palace. Lian's had no chance before, but now that he has the opportunity, Lian's will naturally not let it go.
"Madam, don't worry, you'll see you in a moment. Don't worry. Bai Wenping comforted the Lian family, the Lian family nodded, listening to Bai Wenping's words, in fact, Bai Wenping was also looking forward to seeing Bai Guifei and the four princes for a while. That's his own sister and nephew. Thinking about Bai Wenping, he was especially happy and excited. Many ministers have already brought their daughters to the table. Soon it was Concubine Li and the fifth prince Yu Wuyun, and the sixth princess Yu Lianxin, which was even more amazing.
Concubine Li wore a long skirt with a plain waist of bewitching purple moslin on the backing, and the corners of the skirt were embroidered with nine mandala flowers with silver flashing threads layer upon layer, which stood out in a patch of purple, and the skirt collar was crossed by two silver brocade ribbons to hang around the neck. Lined with a wide moire silver-white ribbon wrapped around the white arm, the delicate and moving collarbone is exposed impartially.
The silky hair is casually draped behind him, and the inky green silk is gently wrapped around the bead chain made of purple and white crystal beads, and the two strands of bright purple hair are left alone. A few small pieces of lilac that are as thin as cicada wings like a little thumb are obliquely attached to the bottom of the left eye, flashing with a faint brilliance, and there is a sachet next to the body, which is filled with musk, and the body is soft and smoky, and it is really a bit of a powdery and crispy and delicate taste. The eyebrows are not painted but horizontal, and the lips are not dotted but contain Dan. The skin is like a coagulated fat and the air is like a quiet orchid, and it is charming and boneless.
One hand on the hand of a young father-in-law, which looks particularly moving. However, the sixth princess Yu Lianxin, who followed Concubine Li, was also the same as Concubine Li, and she was a beauty embryo. Yu Lianxin was wearing a light green dress and a peacock green feather fur. Her big beautiful eyes looked around, her head was lowered in a pony's bun, and two locks of hair hung down on her cheeks. The loosely tied bun is inserted with a gilt flower and beads, and a string of beeswax hangs from the side. Between the actions, she is straight and tingting, which looks coquettish and dignified.
Concubine Li took Yu Wuyun and Yu Lianxin to sit down, and the next ones were naturally Bai Guifei and the fourth prince Yu Wuling, and Bai Guifei was also specially prepared today. Bai Guifei's crimson palace brocade colorful butterfly brocade blouse, with a crimson hundred-fold Luo skirt of the same color, covered with a layer of red thin silk silkworm brocade fine pattern yarn, the neckline and belt, embroidered with a few crystal North Sea pearls.
The snow-white beads are dotted on the red brocade, which looks very amazing. The shoes are made of soft soles of red fine palace gauze brocade satin, embroidered with a pair of dancing butterflies, the pair of colorful butterflies are made of multicolored gold inlaid gold thread, the embroidery is very delicate, it looks lifelike. Bai Guifei also looked at the people in Baifu inadvertently, Bai Wenyuan didn't bring the Mei family with him, Bai Wenge and Bai Wenping also came.
It seems that they care very much about this banquet in the palace, and Yu Wuling glanced at Bai Jinxiu lightly. Bai Jinxiu felt that something was wrong, and there would be nothing wrong. When Bai Jinxiu raised his head and looked at Yu Wuling slightly, Yu Wuling was already sitting down with his back to him. Yu Wuyun and Yu Wuling sat together, and the prince sat together. But the one who came first must be the eldest prince Yu Wuguang.
But yes, the biological mother of the eldest prince is a palace maid, so she is naturally the most unfavored prince in the palace. Unlike the other three princes, they are protected by their mothers. Naturally, that day cannot be compared, but after all, he is the biological son of the saint, and it will not be too harsh. Soon the saint and the queen also came together, the saint was dressed in a dragon robe, helping the queen to come, and the queen is the protagonist today.
How can the mother of a country be worse than others, the Sero skirt is inlaid with silver filigree edges, the water fu-colored gauze is waistless, and she wears a long skirt with violet color painted hibiscus trailing the waist and sleeves. With a slight smile, a pair of young and ignorant spirit beads, smooth as pearls, clear eyes like a stream under the ice, not stained with a trace of dirt in the world, eyelashes are long and thick, like a fan slightly upturned.
Stretched out his hand and nodded his small nose, a pair of soft and slender white skin, and the elegant orchids embroidered on the cuffs lined with ten fingers like shaving onions, and the pink lips were shining with crystal color, bending lightly to create a beautiful arc. Ruyu's earlobes have a light blue tassel pendant, which is light and light, and can dance slowly with a little wind. The only person who is qualified to sit next to the saint is naturally the queen, watching the saint affectionately help the queen to sit down, Concubine Li's heart hates the queen, and the saint coaxed herself before.
will not be too good to the queen, obviously the person the saint likes is himself. followed his childhood sweetheart, but now all the glory is the queen, not his own. Thinking that Concubine Li is pinching her fingers into the palm of her hand, one day, she will also get the throne of the queen. Become the mother of a country, the mother of the world. At that time, he must have let the queen taste the taste of being trampled under his feet.
Thinking like this, Concubine Li's heart is a little more balanced. Otherwise, Concubine Li will not be easy. Yu Lianxin whispered: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Concubine Li with concern, Concubine Li smiled charmingly: "Concubine is fine, just sit well." Since Concubine Li spoke, Yu Lianxin nodded and sat down. After a while, Yu Lianxin could see Lu Liancheng, and the smile on her face couldn't be stopped.
Following the saint and the queen are naturally the second prince Yu Wuling and the third princess Yu Linglong, jade flawless wearing a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair on his head, and a two-color gold butterfly wearing a flower red arrow sleeve, wearing a colorful silk knot long spike palace silk, covered with a stone blue flower eight groups of forging row tassel gowns, and wearing a blue satin foundation small court boots. The face is like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the color is like the flower of spring dawn, and the temples are like a knife.
The eyebrows are like ink paintings, the face is like peach petals, and the eyes are like autumn waves. Although he is angry and sometimes laughs, he sees it with affection. There is a faint luster flowing on the skin, and the eyes are shining with a thousand kinds of glass. The queen is also very happy, this is her own son. As for the jade exquisite, the long hair is pulled up, combed into a flowing cloud bun, and then wears a water and smoke crown, embedded with a begonia bead flower, hanging down on both sides of the long purple jade jade to the shoulders, the forehead is still falling with the curved jade moon, the ears are hung with the Cangshan jasper pendant, and he is wearing a golden-red embroidered phoenix dance for the nine heavens.
The waist is tied with nine holes of exquisite jade belt, and the thin pearl tassels are hung down on both sides of the jade belt, and the two arms are held with a cloud green rain belt, and the belt is one zhang long, and the long skirt is delayed behind, adding an elegantness to the wealth and gorgeousness. For today's jade Linglong, I was a little surprised to look at the saint at first sight. is exactly the same as the queen of the year, so that the saint stared intently for a while, and finally looked away.
Because when the saint was looking at Yu Linglong, he thought about the scene after scene when he saw the queen. Today is not to let yourself meditate, and now the Queen Mother is slowly coming over. The saint and the queen got up to greet the queen mother, but the queen mother finally came out to relax. These days, the Queen Mother is a lot dull in Cining Palace, and the Holy Lord also knows that the Queen Mother has been in poor health recently, and wants to make the Queen Mother feel better.
Bai Jinxiu always followed the passers-by, watching the arrival of the queen and the saint below. I don't know how Li Qiubai is now, Bai Jinxiu is a little worried about him. I have to say that in fact, Bai Jinxiu still thinks about Li Qiubai very much in her heart, and she saved Li Qiubai before. Maybe it was because he touched Li Qiubai and knew that Li Qiubai was the future master, so he had the intention to save him.
But during this period of time in Baifu, Li Qiubai has always existed like a spring breeze. Bai Jinxiu didn't want to see Li Qiubai, that was all no. Bai Wenyuan also followed himself and said that he couldn't get married. After all, there is the queen's decree, unless Bai Wenyuan wants to risk the Bai Mansion being beheaded by the whole house and not enter the palace with Bai Jinxiu. Later, Bai Jinxiu also compromised, and Bai Jinxiu also went to follow Li Qiubai.
hoped that Li Qiubai could be considerate of himself, and to Bai Jinxiu's surprise, Li Qiubai agreed to himself. The only thing I said was that I would wait for you, making Bai Jinxiu feel very relaxed and warm. Bai Jinxiu has nothing to look forward to, thinking about Bai Jinxiu is heart is warm for a while. I hope I don't have anything to do with myself, just a hurried passer-by, and don't think about anything else.
At this time, the saint said softly: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is a good day, it is rare that I have the honor to drink with you Aiqing today, I am very happy." Come on, let's do it together! "The saints have spoken, and who else has an opinion, of course there is none. Naturally, they all took the wine glass and raised their glasses, and after watching the saint do it, the ministers dared to do it, otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the saint.
Thinking about it, Bai Jinxiu pursed her lips a little and took a small sip, but it was really too spicy. Bai Jinxiu's tears were about to fall, Bai Jinlian handed Bai Jinxiu a handkerchief, it seemed that her actions were discovered by Bai Jinlian. Bai Jinxiu whispered: "Sixth sister, thank you very much!" Bai Jinlian smiled and shook her head, you're welcome, they are all their own sisters, and this scene was seen by Lu Liancheng not far away.
Lu Liancheng looked at it lightly, and the Queen Mother looked at the ladies of the civil and military officials sitting below with a slight smile. I haven't seen such a lively scene in years, and the last time it seems to be a big wedding of the Holy One. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed, and nothing has been so complete. The Queen Mother's heart was a little sad and emotional. This year is really a good year, the Queen Mother prayed for the peace of the country and the country, the wind and rain, and the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
This is the most important thing, thinking that the Queen Mother is smiling and drinking. It's really good, it's in a good mood, and it's good to drink anything. In previous years, it was the Holy Lord's banquet to invite ministers who had contributed to the court to bring their ladies into the palace. This year, it is to choose concubines for the four princes, which is so complete. The Queen Mother also knows the thoughts of the saints. After all, the princes are also old, and when it comes to choosing a concubine, the eldest prince is thirty out of twenty. should also choose a concubine, and you can't blame the queen, the queen has also been bitter all these years, and the queen mother knows that she won't blame the queen.
