Chapter 274: Absence
Zhen Miao was surprised, and the sixth prince seemed to notice that it was a little inappropriate to ask this, so he only pursed his lips tighter, which was not very conspicuous in the twilight.
Today is the New Year's Day celebration, Luo Tianhuo, as the commander of the Jinlu Guard, is the same as the soldiers and horses of the five cities, but he is very busy, and he has long said that he can't come to the banquet at night. Zhen Miao couldn't see anyone asking her about her intention to pretend to be sick, so she had to say vaguely: "I was a little uncomfortable when I got up early, and then my grandmother fainted when I was waiting at the palace gate. ”
"The old lady of Zhenguo?" The voice of the sixth prince raised slightly.
Zhen Miao shook her head: "No, it's Mrs. Jian'an, my mother's grandmother." ”
A voice interjected and said, "Sixth Emperor Brother, you don't know, the old lady of Jian'an fainted, and Jia Ming carried her in." ”
Zhen Miao looked up happily: "Chuxia." ”
Today, the county lord of Chuxia wore a rouge multicolored makeup palace costume, covered with a snow gold knurled raccoon fur cloak, and looked radiant.
"When did you come here?"
The county lord of Chuxia walked over, naturally took Zhen Miao's hand, and said with a wink: "The sixth emperor brother has a new sister and forgets the old sister, you can talk energetically, how can you notice when I came." ”
With her casual ridicule, the corners of the mouth of the sixth prince, who had always been smiling and groaning, stiffened slightly, and he unconsciously glanced at Zhen Miao.
Zhen Miao hurriedly explained: "Chuxia, it doesn't make sense for you to eat vinegar well, as the saying goes, clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as before." ”
She is also afraid that the lord of Chuxia, who is about to marry far away, will be uncomfortable.
This time, the envoy of the barbarian tail came, and he stayed until the beginning of spring, and he directly escorted the lord of Chuxia to the mantail.
It is said that the girls to be married are particularly sensitive, not to mention that they are married to the edge of the sky, Zhen Miaozi is unwilling to let the lord of Chuxia have a knot in her heart because of such a small matter, you must know that the friendship between girls is sometimes a matter that can disappear with a word or a look.
Although Zhen Miao can trust the friendship between the two, it is because she cares. On the contrary, I don't want to do any damage.
But her explanation was nondescript, and the county lord of Chuxia laughed immediately.
The sixth prince also couldn't help but smile and said: "Jia Ming is right, clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as the old, Chu Xia, don't worry, you have always been my favorite sister." ”
But I was thinking in my heart, Jia Ming's poetry book must have been learned from the master of archery, right?
The county lord of Chuxia was used to being casual in front of the six princes, and when he heard this, he glanced at him and said, "Thank you Brother Six Emperors, then I will take Jiaming to take a step first." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for the six princes to say anything. took Zhen Miao and walked quickly.
waited for a distance from everyone, and whispered to Zhen Miao: "When I leave, you will come to the palace less in the future, hmph, without my protection, you still have to suffer?" ”
Zhen Miao chuckled: "Yes, I know." By the way, is Chongxi coming? ”
"Here, accompanied by the eldest princess. I'll lead you there. ”
The Great Zhou Dynasty had already canceled the system of the prince being a vassal lord, only those that were divided when the dynasty was established, and there were still a few vassal kings left, and the later princes were all raised in the capital. In this way, the number of people in the clan is not small, and there are many people who have a miserable life. What they are looking forward to most is today.
The hall of the Hall of Eternal Life is extremely wide, and at the end is a high platform with more than a dozen low tables. It is for the emperor, the queen mother, the queen and the decent or favored concubines to sit, and then down are two rows of white jade tables, directly placed at the entrance of the palace hall, from the respect to the humble, the closest to the high platform are the princes and princesses, to the entrance, it is those side branches, but in any case, those who can enter here today are undoubtedly the most noble group of people in the entire Great Zhou in terms of blood.
Zhen Miao felt that the road on the red carpet was extremely long, and her legs and feet were weak when she walked.
The county lord of Chuxia quietly squeezed her hand: "What are you afraid of, you are the county lord of the Holy Lord." ”
You must know that not all the children of the clan have titles, Zhen Miao doesn't look at it as half a bucket of water, but it has attracted a lot of envy and jealousy.
The county lord of Chuxia hated iron and steel: "The more you have no confidence, the more others dare to be presumptuous, and the shelf at the end must be put up!" ”
Zhen Miao grinned: "I'm not afraid." ”
"And what are your legs shaking?" Lord Chuxia rolled his eyes.
Zhen Miao wanted to cry without tears: "I'm hungry ......"
She has always had the problem of flustering and sweating when she is hungry, who knew that it was so inhumane in the palace, but at noon, there was Gong E who brought snacks, but everyone else put down the chopsticks after eating a few bites, and in front of everyone, no matter how thick her skin is, it is not good to even eat the plate, right?
Zhen Miao was annoyed again that she didn't hide some small snacks in her sleeves, such as almond crisp, thumb cake or something, and thought that she was going to pretend to be sick anyway, but she didn't want to go wrong halfway.
The county lord of Chuxia glared at Zhen Miao hatefully, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll block it later, you eat more." ”
How did this foodie get into the clan team, she definitely doesn't know!
The two of them found the county lord of Chongxi and sat down.
The county lord of Chuxia is now a princess, and the seat was not here, but she sat here, and no one opened her mouth to remind people to be disgusting.
The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and a team of dancing girls appeared, with their waists swinging lightly and their water sleeves flying, instantly driving the atmosphere.
With the help of music, the tables are more casual to talk and laugh.
After another quarter of an hour or so, the chamberlain said in a loud voice: "The emperor has arrived, the queen mother has arrived, the queen mother has arrived-"
As soon as the singing and dancing stopped, a large group of people hula and knelt down.
Emperor Zhaofeng sat down, looked around, and his eyes fell on the nearest empty table, and then said: "Everyone, let's be flat, today is a family banquet, you don't have to be restrained." ”
Only then did everyone stand up one after another.
Suddenly knelt down and stood up again, Zhen Miao, who was already dizzy from hunger, felt even more dizzy, and didn't stand up for a while.
The county lord of Chuxia hurriedly pulled a hand, and took advantage of the sound of silk and bamboo to sound again, and said in a low voice: "Tell you not to be nervous, why are you so scared that you can't stand up?" ”
Zhen Miao opened her mouth and closed it again. Forget it, it's better to be nervous and can't stand up than hungry.
Unexpectedly, the county lord of Chongxi kindly explained: "She must be hungry!" ”
Zhen Miao......
Halfway through the banquet, most of the people were either attracted by singing and dancing, or focused on chatting, the lord of Chuxia lowered his voice and said: "You see, the prince has never come, only the princess has arrived." ”
The county lord of Chongxi looked indifferent, and as soon as he raised his sleeves and took a sip of fruit wine, there was a trace of blush on his cold face. The voice was still cold: "The prince's health is not safe, so naturally he can't come." ”
The prince is now disgusted by the emperor, whether it is the children of the clan or the civil and military officials, they all know it, but it is difficult to say it on the surface.
After the county lord Chongxi finished speaking, he glanced at the county lord of Chuxia and signaled her not to talk too much.
The county lord of Chuxia pouted: "I just looked at the princess and felt happy." ”
"Hatsukashi!" The county lord of Chongxi glared at her.
Zhen Miao followed and glanced at the crown princess, the princess seemed to be aware of it, and glanced over here, her expression was not as calm as before, but a little more gloomy.
Zhen Miao hurriedly withdrew her gaze. He lowered his head and took a sip of sherbet.
The county lord of Chuxia couldn't help but remind: "Zhen Si, you have to be careful, I always feel that the crown princess intends to target you." ”
"How?" Zhen Miao swept the corner of her eyes and found that the crown princess's gaze had moved elsewhere.
This time, the county lord of Chongxi did not stop the county lord of Chuxia from going down, but pinched the pink porcelain wine glass that was as thin as a cicada's wings and faintly transparent, waiting for her to continue.
"Not that time, she talked to me, intentionally or unintentionally mentioning that there was a big wind and sand on the side of Manwei. It's the most damaging to the skin, and the women over there have very rough skin. I was depressed when I heard it, and as soon as she changed the topic, she immediately praised you for your better skin. Then he also said that you got Concubine Zhen's prescription to take care of your skin. I didn't sound right at the time, didn't she provoke me to trouble you? ”
Zhen Miao pursed her lips.
The crown princess's words are really not authentic.
The concubine's skin care prescription has caused many people's eyes to be hot. She knows.
The crown princess first tried to see that she was soft and hard, and then she attracted the new Wu Guifei, followed by the group of princesses. With just this hand, it made it difficult for her to integrate into that circle again.
Of course, this Zhen Miao doesn't care much, but then again, as long as she is a normal person, she is always willing to be treated by others, rather than annoying her, so it would be strange to say that she can have a good impression of the crown princess.
But she didn't expect that the crown princess would still calculate that the friendship between Lord Xia and her at the beginning came.
What woman can not be tempted by a formula that can make the skin smooth as satin?
If the county lord of Chuxia opened his mouth to her, she would not be able to divulge it because of Concubine Zhen's instructions, and she would refuse to speak, embarrassed and unbearable.
Zhen Miao quietly squeezed the hand of the county lord of Chuxia and told the truth: "I won't tell you that the concubine did give me a prescription, but the concubine also said it, and it should not be passed on." Wait for the next time I go into the palace to beg for a begging, see if the concubine agrees to write to you, but the words are in front, if the concubine does not agree, I have no way. ”
The lord of Chuxia is not hypocritical, if you can really get such a prescription, of course you can't ask for it, if you can't get it, you don't have to force it, in short, don't Zhen Si be embarrassed, thank you coolly.
The county lord of Chongxi raised his eyebrows faintly and smiled: "Just ask for Chuxia, I don't need it." ”
Hearing what the county lord of Chongxi said, the county lord of Chuxia was reluctant: "Hey, if you say this, it seems that your skin is better than mine!" ”
"It's not better than you, it's just that women are pleasing to themselves, aren't you going to get married."
The county lord of Chuxia blushed and stomped his feet: "Who is a barbarian!" ”
Zhen Miao recalled the second prince she saw that day, although she was not as beautiful as the man of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she was masculine and fit, according to her aesthetics, she appreciated that type more, thinking that the mentality of the lord of Chuxia would suffer in the future, so she persuaded: "Chuxia, don't be preconceived, I read the travelogue, the scenery and customs over there are very interesting, and the eldest prince must be a heroic man." ”
"You know that, too?"
"Didn't I meet the second prince once, and they all said that their brothers were quite similar."
"Hey, so you're quite optimistic about the second prince?" The county lord of Chuxia asked with great interest, and his voice was accidentally a little higher.
Lord Chongxi kicked her.
The county lord of Chuxia was just about to stare when he found a Gong E coming over to refill the wine, so he stopped, and the three of them laughed silently. (To be continued......)
