Chapter 048: Banquet in the Palace (1)

"Feng Yang? Maybe it's just the same name! Jian Ning was slightly stunned, but suddenly regained her calm appearance, and even joked with a smile, "If the Feng Yang we know is really the prince's personal guard, then it is impossible to come to my food garden to be a small nursing home!" ”

"Besides, although I haven't seen Fengyang for a long time, I haven't forgotten what he looks like!"

Ruan Zijin looked at Jian Ning as if she didn't believe anything, and suddenly said dejectedly: "Is it because of this that I feel strange!" Anyway, I told you about it, if there is really anything in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you! ”

"Okay, okay, I know you're doing it for my good, so I'll pay attention to it in the future." Jian Ning also knew that Ruan Zijin was really for her own good, so she responded with a smile.

"By the way, Jiu'er has been gone for two days, have you sent a book back to say when you will come back?" Jian Ning watched a pigeon fly in the sky, and then asked.

"Don't say it's a reply, but her eagle is still in our yard, and I have to feed it every day. So this letter, you are thinking about it. Ruan Zijin said with a little complaint.

The house they rented was not large, barely with three separate small courtyards. Jian Ning lived in a courtyard, and Xi'er wanted to serve Jian Ning's daily life, so she naturally lived in the same courtyard with Jian Ning. The rest can only be Ruan Zijin and Jiu'er's courtyard. They don't need to be served, and there is no one in the yard except for cleaning. Although the two often quarrel on weekdays, they haven't had any major conflicts after living together.

Then there is Liu Leshan, who lives in the courtyard closest to the door. As for the maids and handymen in the house, they sorted out three rooms by the kitchen for them to live in.

Jian Ning listened to what Ruan Zijin said. I couldn't help frowning slightly. muttered, "Why didn't you even take that little guy with you?" Is Jiu'er in a hurry? ”

Because she had spoken to Jian Ning the day before, Jiu'er did not come to say goodbye to Jian Ning early that morning. The natural Jian Ning didn't know what was going on when Jiu'er left.

"It's not necessarily that urgent, she didn't take the eagle away so that we could inform her sooner if we had something. Or maybe it was because it didn't take a few days to come back, so I didn't bring it with me. Ruan Zijin said lightly.

"Yes." Jian Ning nodded.

"I haven't been out on the streets for the past two days, have you heard about something big outside?" Jian Ning happened to meet a small day in the past two days, and her body was not very comfortable, so she kept nesting in the yard and never went out.

"What else could be a big deal on the street right now. It's nothing more than the emperor's wedding. Ruan Zijin waved his hand and said, "According to the etiquette system, this marriage to the queen has to be prepared for a month or two, but the emperor's holy decree, even after the queen mother's birthday banquet, there was a rumor, and the people in the Ministry of Rites began to prepare, but this time is indeed a bit tight, plus there is a spring year in between, and the upcoming Shangyuan Festival, now the most seen in those shops are the people of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Although Jian Ning once felt unhappy in her heart for the emperor's wedding. But I didn't pay much attention to it, for whatever reason. I'm afraid it won't have anything to do with her. However, this Shangyuan Festival should be the modern Lantern Festival, and I think I can still have a play.

"Zijin can know what activities are there during the Shangyuan Festival?" Jian Ning asked with an interested face, "It's the fifth day of the first month today, and I can't think about it for a few days." ”

"I'm afraid I don't know as much as Ning'er." Ruan Zijin was embarrassed for a moment and said, "You also know that I have lived on Tianhua Mountain since I was a child, and I am not very clear about these things. ”

In order not to disappoint Jian Ning, Ruan Zijin immediately said with a smile: "However, I can find someone to ask, how can I say that there are still a few little maids in our house, they must be clear." ”

"I'm just asking casually, and you don't have to deliberately ask. On that day, we will always know what will happen. Jian Ning looked at Ruan Zijin like this, and couldn't help but be a little moved. has lived for twenty-eight years in modern times, and I am afraid that no friend can be like Zijin and Jiu'er who cares about themselves like themselves!

It seems that God has been kind to him!

"It would be great if Jiu'er could come back that day, let's go shopping together." Jian Ning said with a smile.

In the Huaqing Palace, Ai Duoer wore a golden cloud smoke shirt embroidered with elegant orchids, a yellow antique double butterfly cloud-shaped thousand water skirt that mopped the floor, and a mist veil of Bixia Luo peony. The clouds are ethereal, wearing a hollow orchid bead hairpin, her face is as charming as the moon, her eyes are shining with anticipation, and she is sultry, as if she has changed back to the noble and gorgeous imperial concubine before.

"Niangniang, Princess Leling is here." At this time, the palace maid Lianwu walked quickly in front of Ai Duoer with small lotus steps and said.

"Invite the princess in." Ador said with a smile on her face. In the past few days, she has been trying to find a way to solve Xiahou Leling's matter of wanting to get married. But after thinking about it for two days, I finally felt that it was too difficult to stop this marriage. Let's not mention that the prince Yan of the Eastern Merchants Kingdom obviously agrees, and says that his current situation is really not good, and it is too obvious to act.

Once you do it, the probability of failure is great, and the suspicion is even greater. In addition, the emperor didn't see her at all during these days, and she didn't even have a chance to speak, and she couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts.

So in the end, Ai Duoer decided to invite this Princess Leling to take a look first. should also ring the alarm bell for her, let her know that in the harem of Yuan Chu, even if she will be the queen, she will not be able to do whatever she wants.

By the way, she also saw if this Xiahou Leling had the heart to fight for power, if she didn't, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with, if there was, then she had to fight quickly and solve her as much as possible, otherwise it would be even more difficult to deal with when she was pregnant with the dragon heir.

Just thinking about it, I saw Lianwu leading people in. She was wearing a white floor-length dress, embroidered with pink patterns on the wide hem, and a long cigarette purple silk on her arms. Slender waist, tied with a purple brocade belt inlaid with jade. The jet-black hair was tied up with a lilac ribbon, and a few strands of hair fell mischievously down the shoulders, lining the broken skin even whiter. The face is not powdered, but it is fresh and moving, such a woman, not to mention a man, even a woman can not be amazed!

"Leling asks the concubine Niangniang!" Leling stood there looking neither humble nor arrogant, and was generous, without the slightest hint of nervousness or panic. Was she really not afraid, or did she think she wouldn't dare to do anything to her?

"Princess Leling is polite, Lianwu doesn't hurry up to help the princess up." Ai Duoer smiled and deliberately accepted Le Ling's gift, and at the same time scolded Lianwu in a cold voice.

Lian Wu immediately stepped forward and wanted to help Le Ling up, but Le Ling's body still leaned slightly towards the sealing posture on the side, just letting Lian Wu help him a little.

She couldn't be blamed for being so careful, the last time she saw Ador, she knew that this woman was not an easy character either. Now that she is about to become the queen of Yuan Chu, how can she tolerate herself?

She is not afraid that she will come openly, what she is afraid of is that she will play yin, and she will fall into the trap unconsciously.

"Princess, please be seated!" Xiahou Leling's slight movement still fell in Ai Duoer's eyes, Ai Duoer smiled slightly in her heart, she really thought she was not afraid, it turned out that she was just pretending to be calm.

"Come on, give Princess Leling a cup of Lushan clouds." Ai Duoer said to the palace maid standing aside, and then turned to Xiahou Leling and said, "This Lushan cloud and mist was rewarded by the emperor not long ago, and it tastes very good. ”

Leling didn't answer, just smiled and nodded. In my heart, I was thinking about the purpose of Ai Guifei looking for herself today, it shouldn't be as simple as showing off like this.

The tea was quickly delivered, and Feng Zi picked up the tea from the tea tray and handed it to Leling.

Le Ling took the teacup and didn't rush to drink it, but picked up the tea and smelled it first. As the saying goes: before tasting tea, you need to look at its color and smell its fragrance before you can taste its taste.

After Leling smelled the incense, he smiled lightly and said: "It is worthy of being the tea given by the emperor, although it is not as fragrant as the thorn rose tea of my Dongshang, but this tea has more fragrance than the thorn rose." ”

After speaking, he took a sip of heat, sniffed while sipping, and drank lightly. Just these few sips, Leling felt the fragrance of his teeth and cheeks, and the bottom of his throat was sweet, it was really good tea!

Looking at Leling's expression, Ai Duoer naturally became a little angry, and said with a smile: "Princess Leling thinks that this Lushan cloud mist is better than your country's thorn rose tea?" ”

Leling, who was still immersed in the fragrance of tea, tightened slightly, if it was really not good, he couldn't even let go of a cup of tea.

If he said that the thorn rose tea was good, he would be suspected of despising Yuan Chu, and he was now a person on the cusp, if this was spread, it would definitely make people discuss. But if you say that this Lushan cloud mist is good, you will inevitably belittle your own country, and it is not appropriate to spread it.

After thinking for a while, Le Ling put down the teacup in his hand and said to Ai Duoer with a smile: "Niangniang, this question is difficult for Le Ling." Whether it is this thorn rose tea or this Lushan cloud and mist, it has its own unique place, and it really can't be compared. ”

"And the most important thing about tea tasting is the mood of the tea taster, if the mood is open, even the most ordinary tea can taste a unique taste, if the heart is bound, even the best tea will feel like white water."

Le Ling's words not only cleverly avoided answering Ai Duoer's question head-on, but also implied that being a man should be open-minded, and indulging in intrigue will eventually taste its own suffering! (To be continued......) R1292
