Chapter 37: The Hundred Flowers Banquet Competes for Beauty
And at this time, in the imperial garden, it is really a person than the flowers, the girls are not afraid of the spring cold, they have already changed into light clothes, all kinds of light yarn flying among the flowers, talking and laughing, so lively.
Yuan Yiyi followed Li Jing's side and shuttled among them.
This is the first time Yuan Yiyi has entered the palace, and it is also the first time she has attended such a grand occasion, before leaving, she wanted to dress up, but think about it, there must be a lot of people dressed up today, she wants to be brilliant, but she should do the opposite, become the freshness in the heavy makeup, so she chose a light blue long skirt, embroidered with white red plums, and then used a white brocade belt to tie the slender waist. A green silk is twisted into a wishful bun, and only a plum blossom white hosta is inserted. Although it is simple, it looks fresh and elegant, and it is also in line with the identity of Mrs. Zhuangyuan.
"Yo, isn't this Lord Li? See your feet? "The wife of the household servant, that is, the wife of Li Jing's top boss, Mrs. Liu, saw Yuan Yiyi at a glance in the crowd, and was thinking about which girl was so dusty, and when she looked at the person next to her, she couldn't help but say with disdain, it turned out to be the orphan girl who climbed up to the champion!
Li Jing heard Mrs. Liu's yin and yang weirdness, but because she was the main lady of her boss, she could only say with a smile: "Thank you Mrs. Liu for your concern, this is the inner Yuan's family, Yiyi, this is Mrs. Liu of the household servant's family." ”
He knew that Yuan Yiyi had never seen these official eunuchs, so he introduced them to her.
When Yuan Yiyi heard this, this is the wife of her father-in-law's boss, then this relationship must be done, she smiled faintly and turned her head to Li Jing and said: "You don't want to talk to your colleagues, just go, I'll talk to Mrs. Liu." ”
Li Jing heard what Yuan Yiyi meant, nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave.
Mrs. Liu glanced at Yuan Yiyi at the end of her eyes, raised her hand and stroked her sideburns, and said lightly: "Any cat or dog wants to chat with Mrs. Ben, and he doesn't look at his identity." ”
Yuan Yiyi smiled indifferently, she had heard Li Jing say that this Mrs. Liu was the daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and at that time, the waiter of the household department was only a middle man of the household, and Mrs. Liu was considered to be married, and later climbed to the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites with the help of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
Mrs. Liu was born well, and she has been pampered since she was a child, so her temperament is relatively strong, and the household waiter is also miserable, and then the aunt is accepting room after room, one game and one tenderness like water.
This Mrs. Liu has been married to the household servant for eighteen years, and the concubines and concubines in the family are going to be piled up, and she has not yet had a son and a half daughter, and now the relationship between husband and wife is deadlocked, and she is thirty-five, and it is difficult to have a child of her own, probably because of this, her temperament is even more unpredictable, everyone respects her identity, and it is considered to respect her, but in fact, she does not even have a close friend.
"Mrs. Liu, why didn't the two people who served her bring her?"
The corners of Mrs. Liu's mouth twitched, feeling that this woman was really thick-skinned, and she was so fierce, she could still chat with herself with a smile, but when she heard this question, it was a woman who had never seen the world before she asked: "Imperial Palace, are you still afraid that no one will serve you?" ”
Yuan Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled, laughing at herself: "It is said that Yiyi is a country man who has no knowledge, Yiyi Yuan is not convinced, but when I saw Mrs. Liu's demeanor and insight today, I realized that the frog at the bottom of the well was talking about people like Yiyi." ”
Mrs. Liu thought the same thing in her heart, but Yuan Yiyi said it so unabashedly, coupled with the self-deprecating and sad expression on her face, she couldn't help but think of the ridicule she had received openly and secretly because she had not shown anything for more than ten years, and suddenly had an illusion of sympathy.
"The mouth grows on others, what others say is someone else's business, if you feel sorry for yourself, then it is really hopeless."
Yuan Yiyi heard that Mrs. Liu's words had changed, and knew that her trick had worked miserably, she smiled secretly in her heart, but she still maintained a graceful smile on her face, and stepped forward to hold Mrs. Liu's hand and said: "Listening to Mrs. Liu's words is better than reading a book, Yiyi has no father or mother since she was a child, and she has been bullied, if you can have a good sister like Mrs. Liu, you will really die without regrets." ”
These words resonated with Mrs. Liu again, although she was the wife of the main house, but because she had nothing to do, she could only watch her aunt stare one child after another in the house.
Even today's banquet is because my aunt is not qualified to attend, she can only bring the children born to her aunt to attend, her Liu family seems to have become a decoration at home, her husband does not love, no children and no daughters, useless, never needed.
Mrs. Liu stretched out her hand and patted Yuan Yiyi's hand, sighed and said: "You, the loss is due to the origin, otherwise with your appearance, your talent, the most beautiful flower in the entire imperial garden, can not compare to you, see that you are also a sensible and caring person, let's come with me today, save yourself from looking at the faces of those pretentious women." ”
"Thank you Sister Liu, Yiyi is thinking that she has never seen it on this occasion today, for fear that she will make a mistake in the rules, and it is really good to have Sister Liu as a companion now."
Yuan Yiyi's slightly drooping eyes flashed a hint of edge, and she said in her heart that this woman is really stupid, and a few words of compliment made her fluttering, and she easily made friends with herself.
With Mrs. Liu, Yuan Yiyi became more and more comfortable at the banquet, everyone didn't expect that Mrs. Liu, who has always been extremely difficult to get along with, would actually be like a sister to Yuan Yiyi, and she didn't dare to despise Yuan Yiyi too much.
"The queen mother, the prince, the princess is here~"
With the sharp voice of the eunuch, the queen slowly walked into the imperial garden with her seven children, the queen was graceful and luxurious, and the prince was extravagant, but everyone's eyes still fell on Meng Qiqi's body, she was like a bright purple cloud floating in, and in an instant the garden gasped one after another.
Meng Qiqi is actually extremely beautiful, her forehead is full, her chin is sharp and round, and her red cherry lips are slightly pursed, her phoenix eyes are as clear as autumn water, and she is as bright as a star, but the absurd and strange things she did before are too subversive of the world's three views, and people are deeply shocked by her deeds, so she covers her beauty.
Meng Qiqi walked in all the way, I don't know when Yan Fei still appeared in front of the right, today he was wearing a dark purple robe, the placket and cuffs were embroidered with extremely fine silver silk with a picture of the sea of clouds soaring cranes, with a hollow gold belt, and then decorated with a whole body of green bamboo wear, looking chic and outstanding, Meng Qiqi felt a little stunned, why did he think Yan Fei deliberately wore a color of clothes with her.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she was meeting his gaze, his eyes were shining at her, Meng Qiqi's face was hot at that gaze, and he smiled slightly.
