Chapter 38: The Lantern Festival
"Sister Bai is waking up, it's time."
Hearing the words of the Clear Sky County Lord, Bai Zhen'er woke up in her sleep, her eyes half-open, and she got dressed and dressed up in a daze.
Yes, today is the Lantern Festival.
After the lunch break, it's time for the Queen Mother's event. There is no doubt that the Queen Mother is choosing a concubine for the princes this time, but I don't know what kind of competition it will be today.
When he was about to walk to the Imperial Garden, the Clear Sky County Lord slowed down and said to Bai Zizhen'er on the side: "Sister Bai will see those sisters later, just call someone, don't worry too much." ”
"Yes, I will." She still looked like a good girl, and nodded obediently at the Clear Sky County Lord. This banquet had nothing to do with her, and naturally those people would not embarrass themselves when they saw the face of the Clear Sky County Lord.
As the Clear Sky County Lord stepped into the grand imperial garden, he didn't take a few steps before he met several daughters of eunuchs, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and they were as old as flowers.
All diplomatic etiquette was blocked by the Sunny Sky Lord in front of him. She just needs to pretend to be a puppet on the side, and from time to time she needs to put on a friendly and harmless smile and brush up on her friendliness.
The back garden has been arranged, and she is sitting with the Lord of the Sky Clear, and as soon as the Lord of the Sky County comes, she is naturally pulled away by her friends who have been good since she was a child. She was the only one left sitting on the floor, her eyes faintly sweeping over the young and delicate women present, and then she lowered her head and turned to the dessert on the table.
I just woke up from my lunch break and was hungry. Originally, I didn't like the food in this palace, and I didn't eat much at noon. Now it's time to eat something and fill your stomach.
As more and more people grew, the voices of the people speaking on the scene gradually became louder. The scent of flowers is accompanied by the aroma of fat powder, and the breeze is mixed with a clever smile like a bell, and the whole garden is filled with the smell of people.
"Concubine De Niangniang has arrived~" With the voice of the little eunuch, everyone quickly returned to their seats and greeted the arrival of Concubine De.
"Excuse me, everybody." Concubine De Shui is a beautiful woman in a dark blue palace dress, her face is a little old, but she can still see that Concubine De was also a beauty embryo back then.
"Let's gather everyone here today, just take advantage of this lantern festival, everyone will have fun together, the queen mother and her old people like to be lively now, you don't have to be too restrained when you see the queen mother later."
"Yes, follow the teachings of the mother." Everyone bowed their heads at the same time and thanked them.
Before the words were finished, the Queen Mother's car arrived at the Imperial Garden, followed by the virtuous concubine, and a high-grade concubine.
Concubine De hurriedly got up and walked in front of the Queen Mother, and Rong Hua, who was originally following by the Queen Mother, took a step back and gave up her seat to Concubine De.
After the Queen Mother sat down with the support of Concubine De, she smiled and said to the kneeling people below: "Everyone get up, today is a good day, there is no need to be polite, I should have let you spend the festival at home, and I also summoned all of you to the palace to accompany me, the old woman." ”
"Look at what the ancestor said, it's an unfortunate honor for us to be here today." The second lady of the Wang family covered her mouth, and her coquettish eyes were smiling.
"As long as you are a clever person, don't let the Queen Mother down when you have a talent show later." Concubine Xian was dressed in a monochrome palace costume with a tranquil appearance.
After hearing such an obvious lift from Concubine Xian, the second lady of the Wang family smiled even more proudly, "Yes, Concubine Xian." ”
After answering Concubine Xian's words, in the face of the eyes cast by the people at the scene, the smug look in Miss Wang Er's eyes could not be concealed. The eldest lady of the Wang family on the side. The face was pale and there was no special expression.
The corners of the eldest princess's mouth on the side raised slightly, and a slight hint of mockery flashed.
Not only that, Bai Zhen'er also found that there were still some girls at the scene with very calm expressions on their faces, and they were not at all dissatisfied with the attention that Miss Wang had just received. Or to put it another way, not to mind at all.
After the many greetings were over, Concubine De began to announce and the performance began.
First up is Princess Sanssouci, dressed in white tassels, embroidered with many blooming peach blossoms on the hem of her skirt, sparkling with gold threads that sparkle in the sun's rays.
Princess Sanssouci should perform this time is the Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers, and when the music sounds, Sanssouci's graceful dance steps begin. was born beautiful without worry, his eyes were like turquoise gems, and he was scorching and glamorous when he talked and laughed, and he was gorgeous and enchanting.
The drumbeat of the music gradually accelerated, the petals fell from the sky, and the princess jumped into the air with the help of the maid's arm, and unfolded a calligraphy and painting with a wave of her hand. Princess Sanssouci smiled like a flower, and her lips were one: "Congratulations to grandmother for her good health and long life." ”
"Okay, okay, don't worry about this kid, today is not my birthday, what are you doing so much." Although the Queen Mother still said this, the smile on her face was not so.
The carefree princess at the beginning danced amazingly, which made the hearts of everyone present feel a little pressure.
Princess Celestia made a poem with the theme of the Lantern Festival, which simply did not have a gorgeous opening and ending. is not as sensational as Princess Sanssouci, which makes the hearts of the people behind fall slightly.
The talent competition began slowly.
Bai Zhen'er's gaze swept over the concubines sitting on the top seat, Murong Hao had four virtuous and virtuous concubines, but now there are only two concubines, and even the queen has not appeared. And she has an impression of only the queen, and the queen.
Time flies, and a new generation replaces the old. What used to be the most familiar place has now become unfamiliar.
When I was in my trance, I suddenly heard an exclamation in my ear. She hurriedly came back to her senses and saw that someone was dancing in the middle of the palm, and when she looked at it, it turned out to be the second lady of the Wang family, a member of the family of the virtuous concubine.
The palm dance comes from Zhao Feiyan of the Han Dynasty, with some undignified atmosphere since ancient times, and few people will dance this kind of dance on this occasion. But it's because of Miss Wang Er, who jumped out without the bewitching taste of jumping, and more of it is just pleasing to the eye.
After the dance, the limelight does not have to be the worry-free princess at the beginning.
The Queen Mother couldn't stop smiling, praising again and again, and no one could overshadow her for a while.
Although the applause at the scene continued, Bai Zhen'er's brows were furrowed together, she had eaten too much food and drank too much water just now. What should I do if I have an urgent need to urinate now?
Xiao Tao quickly noticed her young lady's abnormality, and she stepped forward gently, "What's wrong with young lady?" ”
Xiao Tao's actions attracted the attention of the Clear Sky County Lord, she turned her head and guessed what Bai Zhen'er's expression meant, she smiled lightly and said, "What's wrong?" If Sister Bai wants to be convenient, let's go quickly. ”
Unexpectedly, the truth was immediately told by the Lord of Clear Sky, her old face turned red, and Nuo Nuo said: "It's okay to go later, I want to watch my sister's performance before going." ”
"No need, you go first, the next game is us, but there is still enough time. Hurry up, it's okay. ”
The Lord of the Sunny Sky County has said so, and if he doesn't go, it will be rude. Then she nodded, and slowly withdrew from the banquet with Xiao Tao's support.
Bai Zhen'er here just moved a little, and the maid beside Princess Sanssouci reminded her in her ear.
"Well, you ordered to go down and stop the people for me." Princess Sanssouci said to the maid on the side with a blank face.
After the maid retreated, Princess Sanssouci's eyes glanced at the Clear Sky County Lord without leaving a trace, she must not be able to make any moves now, otherwise Clear Sky would definitely go over to save the scene. She must wait until the Weatherlight Lord is on the field and has no skills before she can leave.
Hmph, after waiting so long, I finally made her wait for this opportunity. It's easy to find a way to deal with a person in the palace. I wanted to do it last time in Daming Temple, but I never had the opportunity.
She was followed by Ye Zi and Xiao Tao, two maids and Mama, and there was a little eunuch leading the way in front of her. Along the way, the garden is full of flowers, and the plants in the imperial garden are taken care of by special people, among which there are many precious varieties.
