Chapter 69: Birthday Greetings
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Queen Mother's birthday.
The people in Su Mansion got up early in the morning.
Except for Su Zizhao, everyone else entered the palace for the first time, so it was inevitable that they were a little nervous.
In order to dress solemnly and brightly, Feng has worked hard in the past few days, and finally decided to wear the pink and purple embroidered jacket with a pair of necks, and the jewelry also chose a simple and elegant butterfly hairpin inlaid with white jade and rubies.
Su Shanyun wore a moon-colored butterfly flower thin gown today, with a lake-green skirt, a white jade hairpin and a rose-colored small silk flower on her head, and the whole outfit looked bright and generous without losing stability.
Since the climate was already warm, Su Shanyun wore clothes made of thin fabric, which made her curves look more pronounced than before.
"Alas, the little girl has youth, and she looks so good in everything!" Feng Shi looked at Su Shanyun like a spring flower and sighed.
Su Shanyun couldn't help but blush.
In fact, she has been so excited since last night that she can't sleep.
Because she knew that Yan Jinxuan should also go to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday today.
If nothing else, she thinks she should be able to meet him.
She doesn't ask for much, even if it's just a glance from a distance.
Thinking like this, she didn't even eat much early, only thinking that she could see him earlier.
When the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, Su Shanyun got down from the carriage and looked at the palace gate before he really realized what it meant to be magnificent.
The square is several miles wide, and with the surrounding buildings, it looks like a kind of quaint and solemn beauty.
One after another, horse-drawn carriages arrived.
It can be seen that they all came to the palace to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother.
Some people knew Su Zizhao and politely came up to say hello, and Su Zizhao greeted them.
After a while, someone shouted their names at the door, and two more teams of guards came out to manage the law.
When Su Zizhao's name was called, Su Zizhao hurriedly led the family forward, and a person inside the door pointed out the direction to Su Zizhao, and Su Zizhao and his family walked towards the Xici Gate on the right side to Shoukang Palace.
Su Shanyun thought in her heart as she walked-in fact, she was still very grateful to the Third Prince, because if it wasn't for his invitation, she would basically not have had the opportunity to enter the palace.
The Queen Mother was about seventy years old, with dignified facial features and a kind smile. Wearing a bright yellow gold-rimmed xia veil and a pearl jade hairpin on his head, he was talking to several women with exquisite temperament and makeup.
Feng, Su Shanyun, and the twin sisters of the Su family did not dare to step forward without permission, so they sat down in the designated position on one side.
Soon. The women who were talking to the Queen Mother dispersed one after another, and the Queen Mother saw the Feng family and said loudly: "This is the family of the Hubu Shangshu, right?" ”
Feng Shi hurriedly led Su Shanyun and the others out of their seats and saluted her: "Yes, Queen Mother." ”
"All of them look like flowers." The Queen Mother said with a smile and motioned for them to sit down.
Then he ordered someone to bring the palace food.
Su Shanyun sat in the farthest place from the Queen Mother. Take a small bite of a small pastry.
I don't know what the name of that little pastry is, but it tastes quite delicious.
But Su Shanyun didn't dare to take the second piece, put his hands on his knees, and sat obediently.
Immediately afterwards, several families came here with their families to greet the Queen Mother.
When they sat down, they suddenly heard a hearty laughter, and then five beautifully dressed girls of about fourteen or fifteen years old trotted towards the Queen Mother, and hugged the Queen Mother one after the other.
"How many of you, no big or small, haven't you seen any guests there?" The Queen Mother looked at them with a pampered face and said.
"Queen Mother, you don't know how much I want to see you, if it weren't for my mother. I would have already entered the palace to see you coming. One of the girls, dressed in an orange flower dress, said delicately.
The Queen Mother pinched her little face and said, "You, if you are willing to be obedient, you won't let your mother work so hard, if you want to enter the palace often in the future, you have to automatically and consciously do what you should do every day, you know?" ”
The girl nodded repeatedly.
Suddenly, someone outside shouted: "Cabinet University Scholar Yan Shi rushed in." ”
Su Shanyun's heart was shocked, she had heard the second uncle talk about this person, it was said that this person was very powerful in the court, so she also wanted to see what kind of person he was, so she turned her head and looked out of the door.
But when he saw a man in his sixties wearing court clothes coming towards him, when he got closer, Su Shanyun found that he was eight feet tall and imposing, although his expression was extremely calm. But his eyes are complicated, even a little cold, and at first glance he knows that he is a person who has been in officialdom for a long time and is good at calculation.
Yan Shichong read the birthday message to the Queen Mother, and then the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and the waiter entered.
Outside the drums rang out.
The emperor, accompanied by his ministers, strode in. One by one, they bowed to the Queen Mother.
Suddenly, the crowd in the spacious Shoukang Palace was crowded, but every etiquette was neat and orderly, so there was no panic in the whole scene.
Su Shanyun's eyes swept over the officials who came in one by one, and suddenly, she saw Yan Jinxuan.
It's a bit far away, though. But she recognized him at a sight.
My heart jumped for joy.
Wearing court clothes, he was a little more solemn than usual, and he looked particularly energetic and heroic.
Su Shanyun kept looking at him steadily.
The rest of the room seemed to be gone, and he was the only one in her eyes and heart at the moment.
After celebrating his birthday and giving gifts, the officials withdrew in turn.
Then it's time to eat the noodles.
Dozens of palace maids rushed in with noodles, and after putting down a bowl of noodles for each person, they served a variety of dishes.
When the dishes are finished, everyone starts eating.
While eating noodles, Su Shanyun was thinking - I wonder if the second master is also eating noodles outside now.
Just thinking about it, I heard someone say, "Miss Su, the taste of noodles is to your liking?" ”
The sound is somewhat familiar.
Su Shanyun hurriedly raised her head, met the eyes of the third prince, and suddenly blushed, and hurriedly said, "It's very delicious, thank you!" ”
The third prince smiled and said, "The big drama is going to be staged soon, don't miss it." ”
Su Shanyun smiled and nodded.
The third prince looked at her intently again, and walked out with a smile.
The big drama started, and the first appearance was "Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber".
Su Shanyun had watched this play when she was in the island city earlier, and she was deeply moved by the love described in the play at that time, so she especially wanted to rewatch it well. But her mind today was on Yan Jinxuan's body, so her mind floated very much, so she quietly walked out on the pretext that everyone was concentrating on watching the play.
She didn't know where the palace was going, so she didn't dare to go too far.
When she left Kangshou Palace, she asked a palace maid: "May I ask if Shangshu and the attendants are still in the palace?" ”
The palace maid replied respectfully: "Some people who are in a hurry will leave, and some people who are not in a hurry will stay and watch the play." ”
I didn't see Yan Jinxuan in the crowd of spectators in Kangshou Palace just now, so it can be seen that he has left Kangshou Palace, and Su Shanyun was a little lost.
I don't know when I'll see him next time.
I thought of his voice and smile again, and I suddenly felt like I wanted to see him.
What to do?
Suddenly, he remembered that he didn't know that she would enter the palace to watch the play today, so if he wanted to know, he had to find it himself.
Naturally, she couldn't leave the palace easily, and she walked aimlessly forward with her skirt in her hand. (To be continued.) )
PS: Dear friends, the third watch is coming. I'm sorry for being late again! Everyone, hurry up and wash and sleep, good night! Tomorrow the first more try to try to fight at 12-1 a.m.
