In the early morning of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the sun is shining, the clouds are light and the wind is clear, and the dawn of dawn slowly wakes up the sleeping creatures. Rays of sunlight pierced through the leaves, warming the sleeping earth, and the birds let out their songs, telling of the joy of the day.

Lan Xiao'er was woken up early by Fluttershy and Cui, and after about two hours, she was properly tied.

I saw myself in a light blue floor-length skirt in the mirror, and a pink butterfly at the foot of the skirt rested in a lily. Thin powder, only add color, smart and clear eyes flickering, like a spirit bead. The long eyelashes flutter like the wings of a butterfly, light and beautiful. A silver moon hairpin is tied up with a bunch of green silk, a pendant made of crystal is hung down on the hairpin, two strands are draped on the chest, and the rest of the green silk hangs behind him.

"We're smiling more and more beautifully." A woman's soft voice sounded.

Lan Xiao'er looked up from the mirror and looked at Lan Rou'er standing in the door, looking at herself with a smile.

I saw Lan Rouer wearing a lilac floor-length dress, embroidered with pink patterns on the wide hem, and a thin waist, tied with a purple jade brocade belt. A golden silk eight treasures bead hairpin tied up a bunch of green silk, a few strands of hair naturally drooped down on the shoulders, the rest of the green silk hung behind him, the skin was like condensed fat, the eyes were like water, a pair of red lips, the smile was like a smile, and there was a fairy-like noble and feminine temperament.

Lan Xiao'er looked at Lan Rou'er with a smile and said, "Sister is really as beautiful as a fairy, and today's princes and grandsons are not all defeated under your pomegranate skirt." ”

Seeing that the three of them were all slightly red, they remembered that ancient women were conservative, Lan Xiao'er hurriedly stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Joke, joke, don't take it seriously." ”

Lan Rou'er glanced at Lan Xiao'er and shook her head and said, "You are still a girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet, you can't talk like this nonsense in the palace and ruin your reputation." ”

Lan Xiao'er nodded hurriedly.

Lan Rou'er continued: "After we are ready, let's go together, Daddy, Mother and eldest brother are already waiting for us outside the mansion gate." ”

Lan Xiao'er, who hadn't gone out for two months, couldn't hide the freshness and curiosity of the begging banquet in her heart, and couldn't help but feel happy and excited.

Lan Rou'er looked at Lan Xiao'er with a smile and said, "In the palace, you can be a beautiful lady, you can't be so lively, and you scare away your beloved." ”

Lan Xiaoer smiled and said: "I'm only 13 years old, I'm still young, today I'm a green leaf with safflower, find a first for my sister." ”

Lan Rou'er smiled when she heard this, and shook her head again.

……

The carriage traveled for about two hours, and when they reached the gate of the palace, they were greeted by a eunuch who led them to the Imperial Garden, where the annual begging feast took place.

I saw this palace garden, the architecture is exquisite, the layout is compact, and the density is sparse. The pavilions and palaces dotted are symmetrical but not rigid, stretched but not scattered. The criss-crossing flower and stone roads are simple and chic. Ancient cypress and old acacia and exotic flowers and plants decorate the garden with interest. It makes the whole garden both quaint and quiet, but also without losing the palace atmosphere.

Along the colored stone road, into a peach garden, waiting for the emperor's relatives, ministers and ministers of the central government to gradually arrive, one by one at the banquet after settling down, everyone talked with each other and drank. After waiting for a while, I saw a team of eunuchs coming quickly, each standing in the direction, and a voice came from afar, "The emperor, the queen mother, and the queen have arrived!" ”

Everyone got up and stood still, only to see a thirty-five-year-old middle-aged beautiful man walking in the front, wearing a yellow robe, a beautiful hat ornament, and a smile on his face. Holding an elderly woman of about fifty years old, dressed in a red robe, with a motherly smile on her face. Behind her was a middle-aged beauty of about thirty years old, dressed in a golden phoenix robe, majestic and gentle. Then followed by the concubines, princes and princesses.

When the words fell, everyone knelt down to greet them and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live the queen mother, and the queen is a thousand years old." Lan Xiao'er thought to herself, the emperor of the Yue Kingdom! The husband of the eldest sister, her brother-in-law!

The audience was silent. When they sat down, the eunuch next to them shouted, "Get up! Then everyone stood up.

The Emperor smiled and said, "Sit down!" Today's begging feast is casual! ”

Everyone responded and sat down. But because of the majesty of the Son of Heaven, the atmosphere was not lively.

The Queen Mother looked at the people below and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, such a beautiful day, how about we have a wine order first?" ”

The emperor nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Just according to what the queen mother said." ”

The queen smiled and said, "Queen Mother, this peach blossom forest is very beautiful, why don't you beat the drum and pass the flower order?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Okay, the mourning family should be the commander first." ”

I saw the palace maid pick a peach blossom and hand it over to the queen mother. Another palace maid took a handkerchief and blindfolded the queen mother's eyes. I only heard the eunuch next to him shouting: "Begin!" ”

The drumming sound behind the screen sounded, and the queen mother passed the flower to the next seat, from left to right, in turn, and quickly passed it to the side seat. I looked at the peach blossoms that were passed and silently thought in my heart: Don't be my turn.

I only heard the Queen Mother's voice: "Stop!" I saw that the peach blossoms passed to a girl about thirteen years old, dressed in a pale pink dress, with clear facial features carved on her elegant jade face, her water-colored eyes were clear and bright, her face was like clotted fat, and her melon seed face was as clear as jade. The lips are pink, like a blooming peach blossom. The moon is shy and shy of flowers, the rhyme is gentle and elegant, the smile is smiling, the beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, and the smile is touching and intoxicating.

The beautiful girl in pink stepped forward and saluted: "The slave maid is Li Shihan, the daughter of Li Bofu, the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen auspicious." After the Queen Mother said "up", she raised her glass and drank.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "I heard that Li Bofu, the richest man in the capital, is good at playing the piano, I don't know if I would like to play a song for the mourning family?" ”

Li Shihan saluted: "This is the honor of the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid are ugly." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Bring the piano." ”

I saw Li Shihan sitting in front of the piano, the jade hand lightly picked the silver strings, and the hands were plucked on the guqin, the sound of the piano was melodious, and the singing was beautiful, like the sound of heaven.

The Queen Mother praised: "Play a good tune, reward." ”

Li Shihan stood up and saluted and said, "Empress Dowager Xie." ”

Then the next round began, and the commander became Li Shihan, blindfolded, passed the flowers to a person next to him, handed them in turn, and shouted "stop"

I saw the peach blossoms in the hands of a thirteen-year-old girl, dressed in an orange dress, lightly sweeping her eyebrows and eyes with spring, her skin was delicate and soft as warm jade, her cherry mouth was red and delicate, and her cheeks were gently brushed with the wind.

The beautiful girl in orange stepped forward and saluted: "The slave maid is Liu Lingyun, the daughter of Taiwei Liu, the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen auspicious." After the Queen Mother said "up", she raised her glass and drank.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Just now Ya'er stroked the qin, and the mourning family is still unfinished. I heard that Mrs. Liu's daughter is also good at playing the qin, and it just so happens that the piano is still in place, why don't you play another song for the mourning family? ”

Liu Lingyun saluted: "This is the honor of the slave maid, and the slave maid is ugly." ”

I saw Liu Lingyun sitting in front of the piano, the jade hand plucked lightly, the same melodious sound of the piano, the singing was beautiful, the song was finished, people also praised it, and they invariably compared the two.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Yu'er, what do you think of the two songs?" ”

Lan Xiao'er looked up, only to see a familiar face, the young man in red, I saw that he was wearing a moon-white robe, and I bowed my head in fright. I only heard him laugh and say: "My grandson is not good at piano skills, so I can't understand it." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at him meaningfully and said, "The mourning family feels that each has its own merits, and it is rewarded." ”

The next round started again, and the commander became Liu Lingyun, blindfolded, passed the flowers to a person next to him, handed them in turn, and shouted "stop"

I saw the peach blossom in the hands of a girl about fourteen years old, dressed in a long green dress, with ice skin and jade bones, and black eyes flashing with beautiful and moving brilliance; As long as the lips are slightly opened, the yellow warbler will gracefully turn to the pearl and jade sound; As long as the waist is swaying gently, the green willow will flutter in the spring breeze a few degrees. Sinking fish and geese, dignified manners, clear and beautiful and lofty, noble and elegant, so touching and irresistible.

The beautiful girl in green stepped forward and saluted: "The slave maid is the queen of the prime minister, Paulin, the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen auspicious." After the Queen Mother said "up", she raised her glass and drank.

The Queen Mother said with a smile: "I heard that Prime Minister Wang's daughter is a talented woman, can you make a poem with the title of 'begging skill'?" ”

Wang Baolin saluted: "This is the honor of the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid are ugly." ”

The four treasures of the study came up, only to see Wang Baolin come to the table, picked up the pen in his right hand, and wrote softly on the paper, after a while, he read softly, and people praised him, only to hear the queen mother laugh and say: "Qi'er, what do you think?" ”

I saw a beautiful young man about fifteen years old, dressed in a yellow robe, and said: "My grandson is a little drunk from drinking, I didn't hear it clearly just now, so please don't blame the imperial grandmother." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she glanced at him and said, "The mourning family thinks it's very good, reward." ”

Lan Xiao'er raised her eyes and looked, it's not night?! "As soon as the golden phoenix and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world." I can't hide the surprise in my heart. Night, we finally met. Maybe the one I met in the palace wasn't an illusion, it was really you.

I saw that he coughed a few times then, as if he couldn't stop it, and saw the palace maid beside him skillfully hand him with a handkerchief, and only stopped after half a ring, and the palace maid took back the handkerchief, her face was surprised, and her eyes dimmed.

The Queen Mother looked at him with pity and said worriedly, "Qi'er, are you okay?" ”

He replied: "Let the imperial grandmother worry, it's okay." ”

The Queen Mother nodded when she heard the sound, and whispered a few words to the palace maid behind her, only to see the palace maid come to him with a box and put it down, whispered something and retreated.

Lan Xiao'er looked at this qiē and thought, what's wrong with Weiye? Are you sick? Did he experience anything after the separation that day? Why does the Queen Mother call him Qi'er? If Qi'er is Weiye's real name, why hide herself? Have you looked for yourself these days? Ever missed yourself? If he looks here, it proves that he has sought and missed. Night, look here, Mi love love here

Lan Xiao'er looked up at him distractedly, not realizing that Lan Rou'er had taken her Yiqiē into her eyes
