Chapter 334: Competing for Beauty
Cheng Xi was surprised, what is this King Qin crazy about? What was he going to do, and why did he tell her? He also said that he would go to her later! What are you looking for her for? She's just going to a banquet! It's as if she knows her very well, she doesn't know him at all, okay!
Seeing that Cheng Xi didn't speak, Gonggong Zhang said, "Your Royal Highness King Qin, please rest assured, the miscellaneous family will definitely escort Miss Cheng to the Showa Palace." ”
Gonggong Zhang has been in the palace for many years, and he knows very well that although His Royal Highness King Qin is frail and sick and away all the year round, he is the emperor's favorite prince, because he was born to the emperor's favorite concubine, and this Miss Cheng can actually get the favor of His Royal Highness King Qin, so he naturally does not dare to snub her.
When Cheng Xi arrived at the Showa Palace, there were already some young ladies who came first, all dressed up and showing off their flowers, they only felt that this one was very beautiful, that one was also very good-looking, this body was plump, that figure was slender, they were like a thousand charming flowers, competing for beauty.
The emperor and the ministers came directly from the court, so it was still early, and there were only a few daughters and a few princes and grandsons who had not yet joined the court in the Showa Palace.
Among these daughters, the most eye-catching is Li Chulian of Taishi Li's Mansion, whether it is in terms of status or appearance, she is quite outstanding, but everyone's eyes are focused on her because of the clothes she is wearing today.
She was wearing a dress called nude in modern terms, this color dress was rare in this dynasty, and it was precisely because of this that when everyone saw her for the first time, most of them placed one, and they mistakenly thought that she was not wearing clothes.
She was already beautiful, and today she wore such a dress with a particularly high return rate, which made everyone unconsciously look at her more, and she was extremely proud, if she had a tail, she must have gone to the sky now.
She is the eldest lady of Taishi Li, and the current queen is her aunt, she has always walked sideways in the capital, so she naturally developed a proud temperament, she glanced at the daughters in the Showa Palace, and felt that none of these women could compare to her.
The girls present looked at Li Chulian, who was as proud as a peacock, and muttered in their hearts, I heard that the queen mother had proposed to the current saint that she would marry her niece Li Chulian to the prince of the Protectorate Mansion as the princess.
You must know that the prince of the Protector's Mansion can be said to be the most popular man among girls today. There is no other reason, because the eldest prince and the third prince have already married wives, and all the daughters who can participate in the feast of flowers want to be concubines, and few people are willing to be side concubines, and the seven princes who have not yet married are weak and sickly, and they are not willing to marry, leaving one of the nine princes, but they have not yet reached the age of marriage.
After the Hundred Flowers Feast last year, everyone heard that he was married to the eldest lady of General Cheng's Mansion, which broke the hearts of countless women, and not long ago, I heard that they had withdrawn, and the hearts of the girls were rekindled with hope, who knew that Li Chulian would be killed halfway.
Now that they see Li Chulian, their eyes are full of envy and jealousy. Li Chulian took in the envious eyes of the girls on her, and she was even more proud, her nostrils facing the sky.
A lot of daughters came in one after another, including Lin Yuelan, Lin Yuelan and Li Chulian are cousins, she entered the Showa Palace, and after seeing Li Chulian, she walked to Li Chulian's side.
"Cousin, you're so beautiful today! After today, the title of the number one beauty in Beijing must be my cousin's! Lin Yuelan completely lost the arrogance outside the palace gate just now in front of Li Chulian, as if she had changed a person, and her tone of voice was all flattering and flattering, "The prince of the Protector's Mansion will definitely bow down under your pomegranate skirt." ”
After watching how Lin Yuelan bullied people outside the palace gate, seeing her flattering appearance at this moment, the daughters also sneered at Lin Yuelan.
"Do you need to talk about that?" Li Chulian said proudly, "What is the eldest lady of the Cheng family?" used to occupy the title of the first beauty in the capital, and her cheeks are really thick. “
Cheng Xi stood aside and looked at them coldly, she didn't provoke them, they could actually pull her, she was really shot while lying down!
"Cousin, I heard that Miss Cheng also came to participate in the Hundred Flowers Feast today!" Lin Yuelan didn't forget the embarrassment that King Qin gave her just now, she counted all the accounts on Cheng Xi's head, she couldn't deal with Cheng Xi, so she planned to encourage Li Chulian to deal with Cheng Xi.
"She still dares to come, isn't she disfigured? An ugly monster is embarrassed to appear here? It really stained our eyes, and it polluted this Showa Hall even more. Li Chulian said.
At this time, two men walked into the Showa Hall side by side, one man was dressed in a blue robe, young and handsome, with a tall figure, like a green pine and green bamboo, and the other man was dressed in white, gentle and elegant, Zhilan Yushu, both of them had outstanding temperament and were extraordinary.
The man in green and the man in white listened to the conversation between Li Chulian and Lin Yuelan, glanced at each other, shook their heads, and although they didn't speak, they all tacitly felt that these two women were really speechless.
This man in Tsing Yi is officially Hua Haoran, the prince of Ning Wangfu's Mansion, and the man in white is Xiao Yang, the eldest son of Xiao Taifu's Mansion.
"These two women are too much." Xiao Yang shook his head and said helplessly, "Is this the so-called lady show?" Looks like a shrew in the market! ”
"Brother Xian, don't be disappointed, there are so many young ladies at today's Hundred Flowers Banquet, I believe you will definitely be able to pick a real lady." Hua Haoran said, "It's a pity that Miss Cheng is disfigured, otherwise, she can still be called everyone's lady!" ”
Xiao Yang said with a smile: "Brother Hua, you don't have to worry about my affairs, let's worry more about yourself, as far as I know, Prince Ning has given you an ultimatum, ordering you to choose a princess for yourself at this Hundred Flowers Banquet!" “
"I wonder if Miss Cheng Er is here today? I heard that the prince of the Protectorate Mansion intends to marry Miss Cheng Er after he divorced from the marriage. At this time, a young lady said.
When Li Chulian heard this, she said angrily: "Miss Cheng Er? She deserves it too? She is just a step-born, and now she is said to be a concubine, but she is actually a concubine, the identity of the prince is so noble, she is so worthy? ”
"That is, even if the prince wants to marry her, it is estimated that he will give her the position of side concubine, and the position of the concubine must be that of the cousin!" Lin Yuelan agreed, her eyes still glancing at Cheng Xi, as if she was provoking her.
It's a pity that Cheng Xi didn't even give her a straight eye, so she shouldn't be able to see her, and she was angry enough, if it wasn't for fear of scaring the young man in the Showa Palace, she must teach Cheng Xi a good lesson.
At this time, a shrill voice sounded: The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived.
All the girls and teenagers knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Queen Mother Chitose, Chitose, Chitose! ”
Cheng Xi also had to kneel down and salute with everyone, his mouth moved, but he was indiscriminate, and he didn't make a sound at all. She really can't stand these ancients, and shouts long live all day long, isn't this self-deception? The lifespan of human beings is there, even if it is modern, it is terrible to live to be more than 120 years old, how can anyone live to be 10,000 years old?
"Flat!" The Emperor said.
The ministers who followed him and the young man who served in the court also entered the Showa Palace.
The girls looked at the handsome teenagers who walked in front of them, all blushing and bowing their heads, as if they were shy, but in fact they were secretly looking at them.
The teenagers held their heads high, as if they didn't care about the admiring eyes of these girls, but in fact they were secretly looking for the woman they liked.
Cheng Xi saw such a scene, and secretly laughed in his heart, it seems that this feast of flowers has to fight with Feicheng Do Not Disturb!
At this time, Xiao Yang's sister Xiao Yun saw her brother looking at her side, she glanced at the woman beside her, wearing a light purple dress and a veil, mysterious and noble, no wonder her brother's eyes always looked at her secretly.
She walked in front of Cheng Xi, saw her exposed eyes, and said happily, "Miss Cheng, is it you?" ”
Cheng Xi looked at the woman in front of him, searching in his mind who she was?
Xiao Yun obviously recognized Cheng Xi, she took Cheng Xi's hand and said, "You won't forget me, will you?" I'm Xiao Yun, and at the Hundred Flowers Feast last year, you and I sat at the same table and chatted quite speculatively. ”
"It turned out to be Miss Xiao, I'm really sorry, after I was sick before, I can't remember some things for a while, please forgive Miss Xiao!" Cheng Xi said apologetically, after all, it was rude to forget others.
When the emperor let everyone take a seat, Xiao Yun said to Cheng Xi: Miss Cheng, let's sit at a table this year! “
Cheng Xi nodded with a smile, at this time, Lin Yuelan heard Xiao Yun's name for Cheng Xi, and she knew Cheng Xi's identity, she said: "Miss Xiao, if you are at the same table with that ugly monster, aren't you afraid that she will be sick and become an ugly monster yourself?" ”
Cheng Xi sneered: "How about Miss Xiao, you don't need Miss Lin to worry, you better worry about yourself, be careful that trouble comes from your mouth, you can't get married!" ”
Lin Yuelan listened to Cheng Xi's words, she was furious in her heart, glared at Cheng Xi fiercely, walked to another table, and sat with Li Chulian.
Cheng Xi didn't pay attention to her, and talked to Xiao Yun by herself, but she always felt as if someone was looking at her, she looked over with her feelings, and was facing a pair of eyes as bright as stars.
The man's gaze touched her, and he stepped back and stopped looking at her, because she was thinking too much. Cheng Xi laughed self-deprecatingly.
At this time, Xiao Yun whispered in Cheng Xi's ear: "Miss Cheng, what do you think of the white-clothed son opposite?" ”
