Chapter 38: Competitive Yuan Yiyi
And there was a person standing behind the crowd, Li Jing.
He had always known that Meng Qiqi was good-looking, but because of the ridiculous acts she had done to him before, he only felt that this beautiful face was boring, but now Li Jing's eyes were turned to her without turning a moment, and he was stupid.
originally wanted to be ingenious and rely on Qingyi to get out of the dust, Yuan Yiyi was standing beside Li Jing at the moment, originally her picturesque beauty made people's eyes shine and attracted praise from many people, but now, who still remembers her?
Even she couldn't pull Li Jing's eyes back even by tugging on Li Jing's sleeve, her beautiful face slowly deformed, gritting her teeth and cursing silently as soon as Meng Qiqi appeared, she suppressed her demeanor.
God knows how embarrassed Meng Qiqi is at the moment.
She rarely has such a highlight moment, usually when she shines, she makes something ridiculous, and at this time, all kinds of eyes are thrown at her with surprise, jealousy, coveting, etc., she is a little embarrassed to reach out and pull the broken hair in her ear, just such a small action in the eyes of others but even more amorous.
Whispers began in the crowd
"Wow, it's the first time I found out that the Seventh Princess is so beautiful, and the fairies in the sky are nothing more than that!"
"Yes, in the past, the Seventh Princess looked down on that new champion Lang, and I thought that Champion Lang was unlucky, but now it seems that Champion Lang has no eyes."
"But it's not, you don't know, today the queen just wants to choose a horse for the seventh princess, and I don't know if the queen can take a fancy to my rabbit cub."
……
Yan Fei on the side said these voices, his eyes suddenly sank, and he suddenly regretted what to do if he gave this set of clothes!
After all the queens and princesses sat down, everyone called for a thousand years old and entered the table one by one, and the hundred flowers banquet began.
Over the years, the Hundred Flowers Banquet has some vassal and elegant talent links, and the queen will give a colorful head to the most talented person.
In previous years, this color basically fell on the head of Jiang Ningning, who was known as the first talented woman in Beijing.
The queen waved her hand, the eunuch respectfully brought a plate covered with a red cloth, the queen raised her hand to open it, and on the plate was a very delicate jade Ruyi, the jade is transparent, and you can see that it is the best Hetian jade at a glance.
The queen looked at the jade Ruyi, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "This jade Ruyi is the queen mother after the wedding between the palace and the emperor, the queen mother gifted, I hope the palace can be the royal heir, the palace has been placed in the palace, as the queen mother wishes, the palace and the emperor gave birth to six sons and a daughter, each of them in the dragon and phoenix, today the palace will be this jade Ruyi as the color of this flower feast, the good intentions will be passed on." ”
The people present, who is not a human spirit, as soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were even more excited.
The queen has moved out the jade Ruyi given by the queen mother at the time of the wedding, and the meaning of these words is naturally that the person who gets the color head today can have good luck and prolong the heirs.
Whose offspring will it be?
That's the royal heir, of course! Otherwise, the dignified queen mother, do you still care if you have a baby in your family, how many babies you have?
Today's banquet is the same table for men and women, and the talent link is not limited to any talent, just do what you are good at, but it is probably just poetry and songs, riding and archery martial arts, etc.
According to the usual practice, the first performance of the leader at the last Hundred Flowers Banquet, Jiang Ningning stepped forward without giving up, and Shi Shiran saluted the queen.
In the first three years, she performed the three skills of qin, chess, and calligraphy, so at this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet, she decided to show her painting skills.
The drawing paper was spread out, Jiang Ningning sat at the table, her movement of holding the pen was very elegant, and the pen was smooth, and everyone present leaned out to get a glimpse of the painting skills of the first talented woman in the capital.
Soon, Jiang Ningning put down the paintbrush, and several eunuchs stepped forward and lifted the drawing paper.
Jiang Ningning painted a picture of a hundred flowers blooming in this imperial garden, delicate and vivid, even a wild flower quietly blooming in the corner of the imperial garden, it is also painted vividly, it is really beautiful.
The queen nodded appreciatively: "Prime Minister Jiang gave birth to a good daughter." ”
This is undoubtedly the highest appreciation, Jiang Ningning's eyes drooped slightly, and she did not get carried away because of this, she bowed respectfully, and retreated, when she passed by Yan Fei's table, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and she looked at Yan Fei at the end of her eyes, but the other party's gaze always fell on Meng Qiqi, and she didn't have any idea of her at all, she lowered her face coldly, and walked back to her seat with her fists clenched.
At this time, Yuan Yiyi also bit her lip and sat next to Li Jing, she didn't care about what the people on the stage showed the whole time, because since Meng Qiqi appeared, Li Jing's eyes fell on Meng Qiqi from time to time, which couldn't help but make Yuan Yiyi ring the alarm in her heart, and remembered what the old woman at home said again.
She wrung her handkerchief, staring at Meng Qiqi with slightly drooping eyes, Meng Qiqi seemed to be aware of her gaze, raised her head and glanced at her, Yuan Yiyi was startled, and the fierceness in that glance made her feel cold in her heart.
She stood up suddenly, Shi Shiran walked to the middle and saluted the queen: "I have seen the queen's mother, Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess." ”
The queen raised an eyebrow, the woman seemed to have never seen before.
The corners of Meng Qiqi's mouth were lightly picked, but she couldn't help but raise her head: "Queen Mother, this is Yuan Yiyi." ”
The queen sighed~ and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the wife of Li Jing, the new champion, and the palace has not congratulated you on your good fate, and a lover will eventually become a family." ”
Because of Li Jing's matter, the queen has no good impression of this person, and she doesn't even have a good impression of Yuan Yiyi.
Yuan Yiyi hurriedly bowed again and said, "The courtiers can have today, and thank you to the seventh princess for her success." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below, who couldn't hear Yuan Yiyi's pun, and even the queen's face instantly turned a little colder.
Meng Qiqi didn't care at all, and said with a light smile: "You're welcome!" The two of you are a match made in heaven, and you can get married smoothly, and this princess is really happy for you! ”
Yuan Yiyi sneered, only feeling that Meng Qiqi couldn't get it and couldn't pull his face, so he pretended to be happy.
"Because of this, the courtiers want to take this opportunity to send a dance to thank the Seventh Princess for their accomplishment, but the courtiers still have a reluctant request."
"Oh? Tell me about it? Meng Qiqi supported his chin with his hands, his eyes were smart, and he was very playful.
"The courtiers often hear their husbands mention that the emperor advocates having fun with the people, and today's feast is a good opportunity, so I want to invite Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess to dance with the courtiers."
Yuan Yiyi's slightly drooping eyes flashed a trace of coldness, she deliberately used what the emperor said to suppress Meng Qiqi, so that she had no reason to refuse her request.
