Chapter 179: Banquet for VIPs
Immediately, a graceful figure stepped out from behind the screen, staring at the door with resentful eyes, as if her father-killer was standing there.
"Sit down."
Yue Biluo knew very well where the hatred in the girl's heart came from, which was exactly what she liked to see, but her face would not reveal the meaning of half-separated sisters in the world.
"Xie Niangniang." Dou Wuxi finally withdrew her knife-like gaze, reluctantly eased her face, saluted, and then sat down with half of her body.
Her mind has not been blinded by the surging hatred, and she wants to become the emperor's woman, but she is all pointing to the noble harem master in front of her, at least for now, she can't afford to offend.
"You heard it, your sister Concubine Li didn't want you to enter the palace, perhaps, she was also good for you." Yue Biluo knew very well that the more she excused her sister, the more angry she became in her sister's heart.
Sure enough, as expected.
"Where is she for my good, she is obviously afraid that I will enter the palace and share her favor, I have never seen such a selfish sister in the world, from now on, the people will break off her kindness." Dou Wuxi gritted her teeth.
Fang just hid behind the screen, but she heard it really, it turned out that in the eyes of her sister, she was stubborn, rude, and uneducated, and there was no merit.
"And talking about children, this sister is a sister, how can it be broken when you say it?" Yue Biluo spoke softly, like a confidant big sister teaching her beloved little sister, "What's more, if you want to enter the palace, you really can't get around the hurdle of your sister, after all, she is a little cinnabar mole on the tip of the emperor's heart, if you really offend her, just blow the pillow wind, let alone be the emperor's woman, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter the palace in the future." ”
As the words landed, the girl's pretty face changed color in an uproar.
"Then according to Niangniang, what should the folk girl do?" Dou looked at the luxurious woman on the wooden couch as if asking for help.
Yue Biluo deliberately sighed heavily: "It's not easy to do, or you should go back and beg your sister, after all, you are a sister, Concubine Li, she won't be really so ruthless, completely ignore your thoughts." ”
"Pleading her? The Dou family has a disgraceful daughter, why should I ask her. Dou Sister-in-law rushed out, she was committed to everything, and she was reluctant to lie in her sister's palace, and she didn't want to spend a day like this.
The fire was almost over, Yue Biluo looked at her sympathetically on the surface, and secretly decided to add another handful of firewood to burn the fire more vigorously.
"Alas, she is now pregnant with the prince, not to mention the emperor, even the queen mother has to scruple three points, you should delay your entry into the palace." She spread out her hands, looking helpless.
Yes, my sister is now in the harem, if the prince is added, wouldn't there be no one else in the eyes of the emperor, no, this child must not be born.
Once a thought comes out, it is difficult to take it back.
"Niangniang, the folk girl still has something to do, so she will retire first." Dou couldn't sit still any longer, got up on the ground, and bowed to say goodbye.
Yue Biluo nodded, and did not forget to play the role of a confidant sister, chasing her back Jun Jun taught: "Don't quarrel with my sister when you go back, beg her well, it's not ......good to fall out" until the girl walked out of sight, a smug smile suddenly appeared on her face, Dou Lianyi, don't blame this palace for being ruthless, it's really you who are angry, and no one in this harem wants you to die.
Dou was angry all the way, and when she arrived outside her sister's Champs, it took a lot of effort to hide the anger on her face, and then she crossed the threshold.
"The second lady is back, the master is worried, if you don't come back, you have to send someone out to find it." Su Yun saw her at a glance and shouted loudly.
Dou Wuji reluctantly responded: "What are you looking for, Miss Ben is such a big person, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to get lost." Suddenly found that the palace people were busy going in and out, and couldn't help but "huh": "What are they busy with?" ”
"The master is going to have a treat tonight, so why don't they cook a big dish?" Su Yun smiled at her, his eyes were strange.
What the hell is the god doing mysteriously, she didn't bother to ask casually: "Who do you invite?" ”
"The emperor still has ......" Su Yun said halfway, but sold Guanzi.
Invited the emperor? That's enough, she doesn't care about others, Dou Wuxi's foot suddenly retracted, and her eyes lit up: "Really, the emperor is coming to dinner tonight?" ”
"Suyun, go and fetch water for me, I want to take a bath."
Without waiting for Su Yun to answer, she gave an order.
"Now?"
Su Yun asked with some surprise, and said in her heart, this second lady always wants to come out one by one, and now that the kitchen is in full swing, how can she have spare time to help her boil water.
"Of course it's now, haven't you seen Miss Ben sweat when she goes out to play, hurry up." Dou said as she walked inside, she had to think about what clothes to wear, what hairstyle to comb, and what accessories to wear tonight.
As soon as he walked to the door, the curtain of the door was lifted from the inside, and Dou Lianyi greeted him, "Xi'er, why are you only coming back now." As he asked, he stretched out his hand lovingly, trying to help his sister pick up the messy hair that was blowing on her forehead.
I didn't want my sister to avoid the side of her head, which made her stunned, and her hand retracted slightly embarrassed.
"I'm tired." Hmph, Cheng Tian had a teaching tone, annoyed to death, Dou Wuxi threw down a sentence and went straight inside.
Dou Lianyi took a step forward, and at the same time motioned to Xiuzhu to present the tray to her sister: "Hi-er, there are guests at night, my sister has prepared clothes and jewelry for you, and you will change them later." ”
I heard it right, Dou Wuxi stopped hesitantly, and flipped through the objects in the tray with a scrutinizing eye, it seems to be not bad, could it be that my sister has changed her mind?
With a joy in his heart, his tone softened: "Sister, don't worry, when the guests come, I will definitely show myself well, and I won't embarrass my sister." ”
"Alright, let's get ready."
She nodded with satisfaction, and when her sister went in high spirits, she went to the small kitchen to inspect it herself, and tonight's guests were very important, and she had to entertain them well.
Let's say that Dou Auntie's heart has been jumping, she took a rose petal bath, changed into the clothes and accessories given by her sister, and walked to the bronze mirror with a nervous mood.
The girl in the mirror has delicate skin like clotted cream, delicate and picturesque facial features, especially a pair of smart big eyes flickering, and full and ruddy cherry lips are as delicate as peach blossoms.
A tired bead and tulle pink xia qian skirt makes her delicate and lovely, youthful and moving, black hair is scattered like a waterfall, only surrounded by a jasper chan phoenix hairpin on the top of the head, two pearl earrings fall generously, and the whole person looks beautiful and fresh.
"Second Miss is so beautiful."
Su Yun, who had been waiting by the side, couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"You say, will the emperor like it?" Dou Wuji was also moved by her own image, and asked while looking forward to it left and right.
Su Yun said meaningfully: "The slave maid thinks that with the appearance of the second young lady, anyone will like him." ”
"That's nature." Hearing this, Dou Wuji was more and more afraid of her heart blooming, and she was not sensitive.
Looking forward to it, the distinguished guests finally arrived, the house here did not have palace specifications, and the small living room became a banquet hall with a little arrangement, with a total of four tables, one on the top and one on the left and one on the left.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat."
As the master, Dou Lianyi personally went into battle to arrange the seats, first arranged the emperor to sit, and then pointed to the table on the left, facing another handsome young man, and used a very formal title for the first time: "General Yue, please sit here." ”
"What about me, what about me."
Dou Wuxi's eyes have been staring at the jade tree like the wind, and the posture of the lazy charm, I can't wait to fly to him, but I also know that there are many rules in the royal family, and I don't dare to mess with the proportions casually.
"Don't worry, you sit with your sister."
As soon as Dou Lianyi's words fell, Xuan Lili beckoned to her at the top, "Since it is a family banquet, it is not good to be polite, come here and dine with me." ”
"Yes, Emperor." She deliberately dragged her long tongue and pretended to be blessed, so she stepped forward: "That is the case, but the concubine is disrespectful." ”
Dou Sister's flying heart sank, jealousy and dissatisfaction instantly filled her heart, her hands suddenly turned into fists, and she secretly swore: Dou Lianyi, one day, I will take back a piece that belongs to me.
As the palace maids presented exquisite dishes one after another, the family feast began.
"Before we begin, please allow me to introduce, General Yue, sitting opposite you is the younger sister of the main palace, Dou Auntie." Dou Lianyi smiled and opened his mouth.
Yue Mubai got up and saluted the beauty opposite: "Second Miss Dou, fortunately." ”
"Fortunately."
Dou Wuxi glanced at him quickly, and with a perfunctory sound, her attention returned to the upper seat, fortunately, the emperor was not the only one sitting at the top, otherwise, her careful thinking would be undoubtedly exposed.
Ahem.
Dou Lianyi understood, and it was precisely because of this understanding that there was today's banquet, so he coughed twice and continued to introduce: "Xi'er, this handsome gentleman on the other side is General Yue Mubai, the commander of the 800,000 forbidden army in the capital. ”
"Oh."
Dou Wuxi didn't even look at it, but said "oh" so lightly, Yue Mubai got up and prepared to return the salute, seeing this, she was neither sitting nor standing, and the situation was extremely embarrassing.
"Mu Bai, you sit."
Xuan Lili probably already understood that his concubine was going to be a matchmaker, so he had to help on the side, and on this occasion, Xiaobai's "nickname" was not suitable to appear.
"Your Majesty."
Yue Mubai found the steps and sat down again.
"Your Majesty, I salute you, I wish the emperor will always be so handsome and chic." Dou stood up gracefully, and the orchid grabbed the wine glass, and the words were indescribably lovely.
Dou Lianyi glanced at her: "Girls' families, what kind of wine do you drink." His eyes turned to the other side and said with a smile: "General Yue, this sister of this palace is honest and honest, which makes you laugh." ”
"Where, Concubine Li's words are serious, and the last general will not dare." Yue Mubai replied.
At that time, Dou Wuji looked at the man with good eyes, pouted with delicate lips, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, the people's girls do it first as a respect, and you can see whether you drink it or not." With that, he brought the glass to his lips and drank it down.
