Volume 1 Chapter 60 The Birthday Banquet
When Chu Yu came out of the room, Junyang and Qiuge, who were waiting for the young lady in the courtyard, couldn't help but be stunned, "Miss, it's so beautiful!" ”
I saw Chu Yu dressed in a group of pink water yarns, under the breeze, her skirt swayed, and her clothes fluttered, like a fairy who descended to earth. Her cheeks are flying, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, her nose is firm and slightly upturned, her jaw curve is soft, and the corners of her indifferent lips are smeared with a hint of redness, which makes her have a little more fireworks in her life. The fluttering hair flashed with a hint of shine.
Chu Yu smiled slightly, this smile was as gorgeous as a summer flower, and it was shining.
"Miss, it's not too early, let's get into the carriage quickly." , Junyang couldn't help but be dazzled by the smile on Chu Yu's face, and it took a while to come back to his senses.
Miss doesn't use powder on weekdays, she is already outstanding, and this time she dressed up, compared to the so-called three beauties, I don't know how much better-looking.
"Hmm." , Chu Yu said lightly.
Because a female dependent who has not left the cabinet can only bring a maid to serve by his side, Chu Yu only brought Junyang. Junyang is more calm, so it will be more appropriate to go with him. She originally wanted to bring Frost Seven, but Frost Seven was busy with other things and was not in the house.
Qiu Ge was a little unhappy that she couldn't go to the queen's birthday banquet with her, but she also understood Miss's plan in her heart, she was not as calm as Junyang, and if she went with her this time, it would indeed be inappropriate. Kira didn't care, and she didn't like those lively occasions in the first place.
They can't go to the banquet, so they can only play with the cat in Yuhuayuan, I have to say, playing with the cat is also a happy thing. However, this cat is really pestering Miss, if they hadn't stopped the kitten and hugged it back, maybe this little white would have really followed Chu Yu to the palace. Looking at the aggrieved but aggrieved but having to give in to the appearance of being touched, Qiuge and Kira only felt funny.
When Chu Yu and Junyang walked outside the mansion, their father and mother and Chu Xinrou had been waiting outside the mansion for a while. Auntie, they were already on their way to the palace when they went out.
Because Chu Xinrou's mother is an aunt, Aunt Lin will not be seen this time. Because, as an aunt, she naturally can't attend these big scenes, and even if her father Chu Yanlin wants to take her there, Aunt Lin will refuse knowingly.
Chu Yanlin is still a dark official today, not angry but powerful, it is not difficult to imagine his serious appearance in the officialdom on weekdays. Song Qingyu was dressed in a pale blue brocade dress, standing next to Chu Yanlin, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, the moment she saw Chu Yu come out, a trace of amazement and appreciation flashed in her eyes, her daughter was really good-looking.
Chu Xinrou stood an arm's length away from her father. Chu Yu looked at it, and only felt that today's Chu Xinrou looked much better than usual, and it was not difficult to see the traces of careful dressing. She is dressed in a green gauze today, with a slender figure, and the evening breeze blows, lifting her light yarn, with a weak willow style. She lit a vermilion flower on her forehead, bewitching and beautiful, with curved willow eyebrows, red face, and pale red lips that made her feel a sense of innocence. However, the ridicule and contempt in her eyes destroyed this contradictory and rare beauty.
Chu Xinrou saw the woman who was independent in the wind and fluttered like fireworks in the world, a trace of jealousy flashed in her heart, she didn't expect Chu Yu to be so beautiful when she was dressed up..... Moreover, she is pink, but she herself is a tender green, as if there is a meaning of green leaves lined with saffron. Chu Xinrou couldn't help but feel annoyed, she shouldn't have worn this....
"Sister Yu is late!" , Chu Xinrou smiled, looking at Chu Yu's eyes with an inexplicable hostile meaning.
Chu Yu's eyes flashed, and she only felt that today's Chu Xinrou was different from the past, and she seemed to be full of vigor today. Perhaps, this is what she really thinks of her....
"I dressed up for a long time, and it took a little time to make my father and sister Rou'er wait for a long time." , Chu Yu said apologetically.
Chu Yanlin smiled and said, "Okay, it's right for my daughter's family to dress up, but don't talk about gossip, it's not too early now, let's leave for the palace early, otherwise it's not good to delay the auspicious time." ”
Chu Xinrou didn't say much when she saw this, but some hatred accumulated in her heart, why was everyone so good to Chu Yu? Why? Is it because she's a concubine? Chu Xinrou tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and her lowered eyes hid her jealous look.
Although the General's Mansion has always been frugal, it is very particular about some big occasions and will never lose its dignity.
Although one carriage was enough to seat three people, they arranged for several carriages, one for each of them. Even Chu Xinrou, who is a concubine, rides in a carriage by herself.
The carriage of the General's Mansion walked on the streets of the capital, which aroused the envy and heated discussion of everyone. Listening to the heated discussions outside the carriage, Chu Xinrou was not happy, although she also rode in a carriage alone, the same as Chu Yu, but she always felt that her carriage was far inferior to Chu Yu's.
In fact, this is all Chu Xinrou's jealousy, and everyone's carriage is the same.
Chu Yu's carriage followed closely behind his mother's Song Qingyu's one, followed by Chu Xinrou's carriage. Her mood was unusually calm. She closed her eyes, listened to the sound of the hub of the car running over the ground and the stones, listened to the heated discussions of the passers-by around her, and sat quietly like that.
In this life, she avoided becoming his crown princess, so can she avoid the ultimate fate? Tonight's birthday banquet, I'm afraid it won't be too peaceful.
Junyang sat aside, looking at the young lady's sitting posture with her eyes closed and couldn't bear to be disturbed, she only sat quietly, and at the same time listened to the eight directions and paid attention to the surrounding movements.
The carriage traveled for a quarter of an hour to reach the palace gates.
Perhaps because of the queen's birthday banquet, there are two red lanterns hanging above the palace gate, and a festive atmosphere of lanterns is blowing in the face.
After Chu Yanlin and his party got out of the carriage, they were led by a palace person to the palace where they usually discussed.
Chu Yanlin and Song Qingyu walked one after the other, and Chu Yu followed closely behind, separated from them by some distance, Chu Xinrou and Chu Yu walked side by side, only half an arm's length away from Chu Yu.
"Sister Yu."
When Chu Yu heard this, he slowed down, turned to look at Chu Xinrou behind him, "Sister Rou'er, what's the matter?" ”
"Not long ago, Sister Yu seemed to have gone out with the Seventh Prince again?" , Chu Xinrou seemed to be smiling.
This is obviously an affirmative sentence.
Chu Yu paused, "It's just an agreement." ”
"Really? Sister Yu is also already past the age of Jilu, so it's better not to walk with some stupid people, let others see it, it will make people misunderstand. Chu Xinsoft said softly, revealing his concern for Chu Yu in every word.
Chu Yu tugged at the corners of her mouth slightly, "What does Sister Rou'er think others will misunderstand?" ”
Chu Xinrou's eyes flashed, "It's hard to say, Sister Yu is not young, but no one has come to ask for marriage, which is not a good thing." Now that my sister is so close to the Seventh Prince, I hope that others will misunderstand what my sister and the Seventh Prince have. ”
Chu Yu sneered in his heart, "Sister Rou'er has a heart, I am clean and self-conscious." After a pause, he said, "Sister Rou'er, I don't know if you have heard of such a sentence, there is a Buddha in your heart, and everyone has good intentions." ”
There is a demon in the heart, and everyone is malicious.
How could Chu Xinrou not understand Chu Yu's sarcasm, but how could she let Chu Yu ridicule her, and immediately said in surprise, "Ah, it seems that my sister is too worried." ”
Chu Yu smiled faintly and stopped talking, this Rou'er sister seems to be as jealous as in the previous life. She is picking a way to make her uncomfortable, but how can she Chu Yu be a person who is bullied by others?
The glow reflected the sky, and Chu Yu and a few people walked on the wide palace road, dragged by the narrow shadows of the setting sun.
Xu felt bored with himself, and Chu Xinrou stopped saying anything.
Walking from the palace gate to the front gate of the palace, it took about half an hour to walk, which is enough to see the size of this palace.
When they arrived at the palace, the glow of the setting sun reluctantly sank into the western mountain, and night fell, bringing darkness all over the sky.
The palace lamps have already been lit in the palace, but it does not make people feel dark.
The palace is brightly lit, and there are occasional bursts of singing, dancing and laughter, which shows that there are many people in the palace.
"Governor Chu is here with his family!" , the palace people shouted, but the voice was quickly drowned out by the heated discussion of the crowd.
According to the usual practice, the gifts given by everyone to the queen will be stored by a special person. Before Chu Yu entered the palace gate, he saw a large stack of gift boxes stacked at the door.
As soon as Chu Yanlin entered the door, a man in an official uniform stepped forward with a smile on his face.
The palace people took Song Qingyu and several other female dependents to the side and sat down, which was close to the aunts and aunts.
Because the uncle and uncle have been fighting on the battlefield all year round, they have always been the women in charge of the family. Although Aunt Lu Qiuyu is a housekeeper, she is afraid of those furry animals. Although her aunt Liang Yunxuan looks weak, she is a resolute, strong and scheming woman, otherwise, her uncle has been fighting abroad for many years, and she will not take care of her small mansion in an orderly manner.
Chu Yu and Chu Xinrou sat next to each other with their legs curled, sharing a low table, while Junyang and Xia Zhu's maids stood aside. The mother-in-law, Song Qingyu, sat next to the low seat on the other side. There was a round cushion next to it, which was obviously reserved for Daddy.
Not long after he sat down, Chu Yu whispered without words, "On the queen's birthday, what gifts did my sister prepare?" ”
Chu Yu glanced at her lightly and said, "Sister Rou'er has prepared a big gift?" ”
Chu Xinrou lowered her eyelids, smiled faintly at the corners of her mouth, and said softly, "Rou'er is just a concubine, and Rou'er naturally can't worry about these gifts, I believe that Madame has already prepared." ”
