Chapter 185: Concubine Selection Banquet (1)
A golden skirt of the earth-dragging immortals, dyed with Qiang gold incense, pure and bright, light and soft texture, bright color like flowers, and exudes a fragrant fragrance of flowers and trees. On the skirt, the gold and silver thread as thin as the fetal hair is embroidered into a thousand leaf begonias and perched branch flying warblers, and the embroidery is decorated with tens of millions of real pearls, which shine with the gold and silver threads, and are indescribably expensive. Yu Linglong is the queen's daughter-in-law, which is a golden branch and jade leaf, so naturally it cannot be compared with ordinary people.
"Alright, alright, don't look at the queen mother." The queen couldn't stand Yu Linglong looking at herself pitifully, and the queen really wanted to promise Yu Linglong helplessly, "Queen Mother, you also know what Linglong is looking for you today, you can promise Linglong." And the father also knows that the queen mother, if you don't agree, Linglong is going to find her father, the queen mother, don't let Linglong embarrass the father, okay! ”
Yu Linglong walked in front of the queen and pulled the queen's sleeve, "You girl, the queen mother can not agree to you, but the queen mother has to follow you to make it clear." Don't make trouble, do you hear? Otherwise, there won't be another time. The queen looked at Yu Linglong with a serious face, because she wanted Yu Linglong to remember, "Queen Mother, don't worry!" Linglong knows, then Linglong will go now. Yu Linglong couldn't wait to see Bai Jinxiu, and the queen shook her head gently: "You! Alright, hurry back and pack up, let's go! With the queen's promise, Yu Linglong smiled.
"Linglong thank you Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Linglong has said goodbye." said that Yu Linglong was leaving, but the queen shouted softly: "Linglong, you wait, the queen mother still has something to say." "The queen looked at Yu Linglong seriously, and Yu Linglong seemed to be aware of the seriousness." Queen Mother, if there is anything, just say it! Don't be so scary, Linglong is afraid. Yu Linglong walked to the queen's side affectionately and stopped the queen's arm.
Yu Linglong was in a good mood today, no matter what, the queen promised herself. That's a very good thing, at least in Yu Linglong's eyes, "Linglong, you're not too young, and in two days it's a banquet for your father to invite his ministers." But this is also a banquet for your eldest brother, second brother and two younger brothers to choose concubines, I believe you should have heard of it. The queen looked at Yu Linglong tightly.
Yu Linglong nodded: "Queen Mother, I know, what's wrong, does it matter if you follow me?" "Of course it has a relationship, you are not young, and your father also mentioned that he wants to choose a horse for you." If you have a suitable candidate, you can tell the queen mother and let the queen mother help you refer to it. Otherwise, your father will give you a marriage at will, you have to know in your heart, and the queen mother will follow you in advance. ”
The queen's words stunned Yu Linglong, she was celebrating the New Year, and she was sixteen years old, and her father and mother were indeed in a hurry. There are two princesses with golden branches and jade leaves in Dazhao Kingdom, one is the third princess Yu Linglong born to the queen in front of her, and the other is the sixth princess Yu Lianxin born to Concubine Li, who is favored by the saint, is fourteen years old, in fact, she has reached the age of marriage, and the emperor is also thinking about these things.
Seeing that Yu Linglong was obviously stunned, the queen said softly: "Linglong, what's wrong, didn't you think of it, or what's wrong?" Yu Linglong came back to her senses, "Queen Mother, no, I haven't recovered for a while, Queen Mother, my father has mentioned it with you." To whom is my father going to marry me? "I believe that the saint must have followed the queen to mention Yu Linglong's family affairs, looking at Yu Linglong's expression.
I was looking forward to it, and the queen did not hide Yu Linglong. "Your father did mention that there are several candidates, one is Ma Tianze, the sister-in-law of the Zhennan Palace, and the other is Helian Ming, the only son of the general. If you have any ideas of your own, you'd better follow the queen mother earlier. "The queen knows that if you don't like a person, you have to marry him, and it will be very painful to live with him for the rest of your life.
It doesn't matter if you are the king of a country or a common man. The queen sometimes wondered if she would be more relaxed if her queen's throne was given to Concubine Li. But these are just thinking about it, after all, Concubine Li can only be Concubine Li for the rest of her life, and this is what the Queen Mother told the queen. Let the queen rest assured in her heart, the queen mother is also worried that she will not be alive one day in the future.
At least someone can remind the saint to remember the original promise, otherwise, the queen mother will not be reconciled. On the other hand, the Queen Mother is also trying to appease the queen's heart. After all, the queen is the mother of a country, but the saint's favored concubine is Concubine Li, although the queen mother is the biological mother of the saint, but she can't ask the saint not to go to Concubine Li's bedroom! That's also a little impersonal, this is the Queen Mother's idea.
Anyway, the queen's position is very stable now, and she should be content with her own pair of children. The queen looked at Yu Linglong gently, "Queen Mother, I don't want it, I don't want it." "Yu Linglong thought about Ma Tianze, wasn't it bad to spread it some time ago? is still outside ** woman, and was thought about by the king of Zhennan for a year. Now she actually wants to marry Ma Tianze by herself, Yu Linglong is unwilling, even if it is Helian Ming.
Yu Linglong is still the same reluctant, Helian Ming knows every time he is noisy with him. Yu Linglong is not sick, how could she marry Helian Ming. "Linglong, do you not want to marry anyone between them, or do you not want to marry, you have to tell the queen mother, the queen mother can help you!" The queen looked at Yu Linglong directly, hoping that Yu Linglong would not hide it from herself.
Because this is a very important matter, "Queen Mother, when I come back from Baifu, I will follow you well, okay?" Yu Linglong was in a hurry to see Bai Jinxiu, "You! Okay, okay, don't talk about the queen mother, since you are going to Baifu, then go with the queen mother's will! Suddenly, Yu Linglong was stunned, "Queen Mother, do you have any Yi order to bring to Baifu?" ”
Facing Yu Linglong's curiosity, the queen smiled slightly, "Actually, it's not a big deal, you let Bai Jinxiu dress up well and follow Lord Bai together." Take it, but don't forget it, you know? "Isn't the queen worried about Yu Linglong?" Mother, don't worry, Linglong will definitely do it for you. Then now Linglong will go first! "Yu Linglong can't wait to go to Baifu.
Although Yu Linglong is talking to the queen now, Yu Linglong's heart has already flown to Baifu. The queen was doting and stroked Yu Linglong's soft hair, "You go!" But don't forget what the Queen Mother told you! The queen looked at the back of Yu Linglong leaving, and shook her head dotingly, Yu Linglong is still following the child now, but this is good, much better than she was at the beginning.
At least there is a choice, but I don't have it at all. Yu Linglong came to Bai Mansion in a hurry, wanting to see Bai Jinxiu. Of course, Bai Jinxiu's mood is not very good, and now she accompanies Mei every day. After all, Mei was very sad because of Bai Jinxian's death. What's more important is that Mei now has a child in her belly, and she has to take care of it even more, and Bai Wenyuan is also busy with the affairs of the court.
Bai Jinxian's matter has passed like this, and the old ancestor can't threaten Bai Wenyuan now. After all, Bai Jinxian's matter can't threaten Bai Wenyuan at the moment, and Bai Wenyuan doesn't owe anything to his ancestors. Finally, Li Qiubai came to Bai Jinxiu's courtyard. To see Bai Jinxiu, Ruxue whispered in Bai Jinxiu's ear. It's daylight now, what is Li Qiubai here to do.
I have to say that Li Qiubai appeared in front of him that day to protect Bai Jinxiu, which really made Bai Jinxiu feel very warm. For the first time, it feels so good to have someone protecting you. But now the time is not right, even if Li Qiubai wants to see himself. But Bai Jinxiu wanted to take care of his reputation, and Li Qiubai stood up to protect himself that day, and many maids saw it.
I don't know if I went back to talk nonsense, so the current Bai Jinxiu has to follow Li Qiubai to avoid suspicion. Bai Jinxiu commanded in Ruxue's ear, and soon Ruxue came out and told Li Qiubai: "Li Gongzi, I'm really sorry, the second lady of our family is unwell today and can't see you." I'm really sorry, these are some of the thoughts of the second miss, thank you Li Gongzi for protecting our second miss that day. ”
Saying that, Ruxue took some pastries to Li Qiubai, and Li Qiubai also knew that he was a little abrupt when he came to see Bai Jinxiu. But Li Qiubai came to Bai Jinxiu's courtyard unconsciously to see Bai Jinxiu. Forget it, don't think about it, since Bai Jinxiu doesn't see herself, that's the best. Otherwise, Bai Jinxiu's reputation is not good, besides, Bai Wenyuan promised himself that he would definitely marry Bai Jinxiu to himself.
Li Qiubai doesn't believe Bai Wenyuan, of course not. Thinking about Li Qiubai, he smiled shallowly: "Ruxue, you thank the second miss for me." Li Qiubai walked slowly, and soon Ruxue had not yet arrived in the house, and Yu Linglong appeared at the gate of the courtyard in a hurry. Sister Xiu'er, I'm here! The voice seemed to be very familiar, Bai Jinxiu came out immediately, and it was indeed a familiar person.
Yu Linglong smiled shallowly: "Sister Xiu'er, I'm here." Yu Linglong appeared directly in front of Bai Jinxiu and walked towards Bai Jinxiu. Bai Jinxiu is dressed in a light green emerald cigarette shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers, water mist and green grass, and a light blue emerald water thin smoke veil. Fold the waist to micro-step, showing the wrist in the light yarn. The eyes are full of spring water, and the waves are longing.
A hollow gold hairpin is obliquely inserted into the depraved bun on the head, decorated with a little purple jade, and the tassel is sprinkled on the green silk. The fragrant jade is tender and delicate, and the fingers are like cutting the root of the onion, such as containing Zhu Dan, and the smile is moving. The face of the spring water is like clotted fat, the white jasmine smoke is soft, the white mopping smoke cage plum blossom water skirt, the body is soft smoke, and it is really a bit of a powdery and crispy and delicate taste. Bai Jinxiu quickly walked in front of Yu Linglong.
"Third princess, you're here, hurry up, please come in!" Bai Jinxiu warmly entertained Yu Linglong, of course, Yu Linglong brought the queen's decree to Bai Wenyuan in the hall early. Bai Wenyuan pondered for a while. In the end, he took over the edict brought by the third princess. Looking at it, the queen really loves Bai Jinxiu very much. But Bai Wenyuan is ready to let Bai Jinxiu and Li Qiubai marry tomorrow.
Now the queen mother actually wants Bai Jinxiu to enter the palace, did she hear something. Or Bai Guifei went to find the queen, it is unknown. But now Bai Wenyuan has no choice, that is, to listen to the queen's words and take Bai Jinxiu into the palace. Otherwise, that's hard to say. Even if there is a lot of dissatisfaction and unhappiness in my heart. There is no way, "Lord Bai, I have conveyed the will of the Queen Mother."
You know, then I'll go find Sister Xiu'er now. Lady Bai, farewell. "Don't take it with anyone, Yu Linglong can also find the courtyard of Bai Jinxiu. It's not the first time I've come, once I've been born and twice I've been cooked, Yu Linglong is already familiar with the road. Bai Wenyuan looked at the back of Yu Linglong leaving, it seemed that the queen mother must force herself, Bai Wenyuan sighed helplessly.
The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, and now it is the queen who has made a decree. Bai Wenyuan couldn't resist, so he could only take Bai Jinxiu with him. Forget it, maybe this is Bai Jinxiu's fate! I desperately rejected Bai Guifei, and I didn't want Bai Jinxiu to have any contact with the palace, but now it's okay. Yu Linglong came directly with the queen's decree, Bai Wenyuan shook his head, this matter is tricky.
I promised Li Qiubai, isn't I going to break my promise to Li Qiubai now! And looking at Li Qiubai's appearance, he likes Bai Jinxiu very much. Bai Jinxiu also appreciated Li Qiubai, Yu Linglong happily came to Bai Jinxiu's yard, and was naturally very excited to see Bai Jinxiu. can be regarded as letting herself see Bai Jinxiu, Yu Linglong smiled: "Xiu'er, you don't have to be so polite, let's go into the house and talk!" ”
After Yu Linglong and Bai Jinxiu entered the house, the maids left. Now I want to give Bai Jinxiu and Yu Linglong time to be alone, "Third princess, you sit down quickly." "Xiu'er, you followed you, we will be sisters in the future, so you don't have to be so polite." Yu Linglong looked at Bai Jinxiu with a smile, "Third princess, then I have overstepped." ”
"Xiu'er, you're welcome, hurry up and call my sister, let me listen." Although the Bai Jinxiu in front of him is the same year as Yu Lianxin, Bai Jinxiu makes Yu Linglong feel very easy to get along with. Yu Lianxin is coquettish, relying on her father's favor, what's the big deal. Is it just that the father and emperor are pampering Concubine Li? Thinking about Yu Linglong's heart, she was angry, hum! Yu Lianxin is nothing remarkable.
No matter how much the saint loves Concubine Li, Concubine Li is just a concubine of the saint after all. But the queen is different, she is the wife of the saint, the mother of a country, and the mother of the world. If she thinks about it like this, Yu Linglong's heart is much more comfortable, and her princess is more noble than Yu Lianxin. But I didn't see myself bullying others. Yu Linglong is comforting Bai Jinxiu, about Bai Jinxian.
"Sister, I know, thank you for comforting me. I'm fine, my mother and father are fine now. The child in the mother's womb is about to be born. "Bai Jinxiu is also full of expectations." That's fine, Xiu'er, I tell you, you have to cheer up. By the way, are there any other sisters in your house who are bullying you, you tell me, I'll fix them properly! "Now that Yu Linglong is here, she naturally wants to help Bai Jinxiu.
But Bai Jinxiu shook her head: "Sister, where is someone who dares to bully me, don't worry, sister, are you doing well in the palace?" Bai Jinxiu thought that Yu Linglong cared about herself very much, and she also cared about Yu Linglong. Otherwise, I'm sorry for Yu Linglong's concern for herself. But what she didn't expect was that Bai Jinxiu pouted: "Xiu'er, you don't know, the queen mother said that she would be busy with my family affairs after the banquet." "Yu Linglong doesn't want to marry so early.
I still wanted to have a good time, but the queen had already spoken. Even if Yu Linglong resists, it is useless, after all, you are from the palace, and it is already doomed to you. Thinking about Yu Linglong, she felt unwilling in her heart, "Sister, sooner or later you will have to face these things, Niangniang told you earlier." It's also for your own good, thinking that you know what to expect, isn't it? "Bai Jinxiu is comforting Yu Linglong.
The two of them talked very happily, and Yu Linglong didn't want to leave Bai Jinxiu. How good it would be if Bai Jinxiu had been following him. "Xiu'er, if you can follow me into the palace, it would be great!" Unconsciously said what he thought in his heart, which suddenly made Bai Jinxiu stunned, "Sister, this is not nonsense." Bai Jinxiu looked at Yu Linglong nervously, you can talk nonsense about anything else, but this is not possible.
"Xiu'er, I also said casually, you can rest assured. It's getting late, and it's time for me to go. Then I'll go first, you dress up the day after tomorrow, I'm waiting for you! Yu Linglong explained to Bai Jinxiu uneasily, and Bai Jinxiu smiled shallowly: "Sister, I know, then you should be careful." Bai Jinxiu went out to send Yu Linglong, and when she arrived in the hall, she looked at Bai Wenyuan.
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. (To be continued.) )
