The next day, because the day of Shi Qingqing and Lu was approaching, the master was far away in the villa outside the city and had not returned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shi Rongjiao took the initiative to hold a small banquet for Shi Qingqing in front of the banquet of Helu, and invited those familiar nobles or those who had made posts to gather together, commonly known as the summer banquet.
The name is simple, just because it is in the summer, but this banquet is not simple, this summer word alone is extraordinary, Xia is the emperor's surname in Northern Xia, and the name of a country is the same, it is an unparalleled honorific title, supreme, not anyone's banquet can bring a summer word.
Again, this banquet accommodated almost all the aristocratic families in the imperial capital, from the royal family to the nouveau riche and wealthy merchants.
At this time, Shi Qingqing sat on the bed in front of the window, and the sunlight passed through the leaves and turned into a broken shadow from the side of the road into the flower window, hitting the side of Shi Qingqing's cheek, full of gentleness and calmness, and the time was quiet.
The eyebrows and eyes gradually grew, the face was greasy, like a flower, and the teacher had a female first-time growth.
In recent years, Shi Qingqing has traveled around the imperial capital in different identities, and her temperament is no longer limited to the ignorance and ignorance in the Qingyuan at the beginning.
It was the first time Shi Rongjiao looked at her so seriously, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
But she didn't realize it, looked at the list of books in her hand, and shook her head again and again, "Shi Rongjiao, I said why did you disappear without a trace in the past two days, and you figured out such a way together, or in my name?" ”
"Why not, everyone is here to see you." Shi Rongjiao retracted her gaze, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she knew that it was still her, but she couldn't help but be secretly happy in her heart, the concierge's posts were almost piled up, and if she didn't take the opportunity to clear it at this time, he was afraid that he would never have a chance again, so wouldn't she have to run errands every day to 'ask for sin'?
After speaking, he glanced at the clothes hanging randomly on Shi Qingqing's body, and reminded, "In another moment, everyone will be here, you better quickly change your clothes and go out dressed like this, don't say that you are the eldest sister of my Shi Rongjiao." ”
"Hey..."Shi Qingqing couldn't help but stand up and roared, Shi Rongjiao had long feet, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he had already run away.
Seeing this, Shi Qingqing couldn't help but chuckle, "She hasn't forgotten her little cleverness when she was a child. ”
Mama Lu came up with a jasmine water basin, and smiled when she heard this, "Now there is Miss Jiao in the house to accompany the emperor to talk for a while, which is not bad." ”
"That Shi Shumei has also come, I'm afraid that Rong Jiao asked her to come, how could her temperament change easily, sit awkward for a while, and leave." Shi Qingqing sighed, remembering that she and Shi Rongjiao were simply different from each other at the beginning, who would have thought that they would be able to sit together and gossip now.
Mama also sighed, "Although the fifth lady has an awkward temperament, she has never had any hurtful thoughts about the emperor, so let her go!" ”
Shi Qingqing looked up to the sky and smiled, as far as Shi Shumei's little thought was written on her face, she couldn't take care of herself, how could she still calculate others, "But in the end, there are several women in our division's family, but she is the only one who hasn't changed at all." ”
After speaking, he sighed as if he was nothing, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little nostalgic.
Mama Lu knew that she remembered Concubine Rong, so she didn't answer anymore, and only said: "Emperor Ji, the people in the front yard are almost here, and Miss Jiao used to help, but in the end, this banquet is for Emperor Ji, Emperor Ji or Mo Yi is too late, and the old slave is still waiting for Emperor Ji to wash first, right?" ”
Shi Qingqing nodded, sat obediently in front of the dresser, and let Mama Lu and Xi'er fiddle.
Although it is said that tomorrow is Shi Qingqing's banquet, but today Mama still curled Shi Qingqing's hair first, combed it into a flower crown, and then put silver ornaments on his head, and at the same time used it for fixing.
The forehead is full and the heavenly court is round, and the silver flower updo, which makes Shi Qingqing look a lot more energetic.
This is the first time that Shi Qingqing has put the ends of his hair high on it, and his palm-sized face also has a pearl-white luster, and he has the demeanor of an emperor.
Because the ends of the hair are soft and gently hanging down to form an arch, it also adds a touch of nature and intimacy to Shi Qingqing, according to Xia Bai's words, it is simply to make people pinch it well.
Speaking of Xia Bai, when Shi Qingqing saw him from the bronze mirror, he stood up excitedly and almost knocked over the jasmine basin.
"When did you come back?" Shi Qingqing felt the trembling when she spoke, since the end of her studies at the academy, the emperor sent Xia Bai to the northwest, she thought that he would not come back so soon, after all, even Ruoyan had an accident......
Xia Bai has tanned and grown taller, and he has more experience, and he has naturally matured a lot, and his eyebrows and eyes are soft, and only handsome remains.
At a glance, he saw Shi Qingqing's sentimentality, and couldn't help but smile, "It's almost timely, how can you still be like back then, you can't look at the clutch so much." ”
Shi Qingqing smiled and didn't hit him, naturally knowing that he was trying to make him happy, seeing that he was holding a brocade box in his hand, he asked with a smile, "You shouldn't have rushed back because I and Lu specially rushed back, right?" ”
Xia Bai obviously didn't expect Shi Qingqing to ask so directly, coughed lightly, and thought: If she knew that he specially asked for his life to come back, I am afraid that I would not know how much to do.
He could even think of Shi Qingqing frowning in front of him...... He would even ask him some strange questions......
Xia Bai shuddered in fright, quickly shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "Naturally not, I was sent by my father to experience, how dare I return to Beijing without my father's decree, probably because my father cherishes you, and even the rest of the countries come to Beijing to congratulate, so naturally I am also open." ”
After speaking, remembering the brocade box in his hand, Nunu still handed it over, "Oh, this is for you, I originally wanted to wait for you to really meet tomorrow before giving it to you, but I didn't expect you to hold a banquet today, so I brought it to you." ”
Shi Qingqing smiled lightly, seeing that he was so serious, he wanted to pinch his face as before, but found that he was already more than a head taller than her, and there was no meat on his face, so he had to give up.
When I opened the brocade box, the golden velvet cloth inside was a narcissus hairpin, not only its weeping leaves, but also the daffodils and even the stamens were vividly engraved on it, "so beautiful." Shi Qingqing couldn't help but exclaim, and after speaking, he didn't forget to joke with Xia Bai, "I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for so long, you even know the customs of women and hairpins!" ”
Xia Bai sighed noncommittally, but then felt that the taste in her words was wrong, and couldn't help but look at each other angrily, "Give me back the hairpin." ”
"Why do you want to say what you sent out, this is the first time you have sent something to me, and I will wear it into the palace tomorrow, and I will definitely be glamorous." Shi Qingqing looked up to the sky and smiled.
Xia Bai couldn't help but smile when he heard her familiar laughter, as if it was worth it to travel all night and night in the past few days, and the softness at the corners of his mouth was about to overflow when he heard the content of her words.
Shi Qingqing finished laughing and wanted to ask him how he was doing in the northwest, but saw the maid beside Rong Jiao hurriedly calling.
"Emperor, Miss Jiao asked the slave maid to invite you, saying that the guests have arrived."
Shi Qingqing nodded in understanding, thinking that he would talk to Xia Bai in the future, so he turned his head and asked, "Let's go over together!" ”
Xia Bai nodded, and naturally had no objections. (To be continued.) )
