Chapter 490: The Queen's Birthday
Chu Qingli couldn't help but twist Xiao Pan's arm slightly: "Flim tongue." ”
Chu Qingli's strength was like a cub cat scratching, it didn't hurt but it was itchy, Xiao Pan couldn't help but lower his head, but Chu Qingli stretched out his hand and pushed away Xiao Pan's handsome face: "I won't bother you to handle official business." With that, he hurriedly dodged and fled from Xiao Pan's arms.
Xiao Pan shook his head and laughed helplessly, Chu Qingli would refuse him in the world, but Chu Qingli was right, she didn't leave, Xiao Pan really had no intention of handling official business.
After going out, Chu Qingli went to the treasury at random and picked out a gift that did not lose the bearing of King Mu's mansion, and left the queen's birthday behind, until the day came, it was Du Qinghe who reminded her, and Chu Qingli said: "So fast." ”
Du Qinghe knew that Chu Qingli had not forgotten, but he was too lazy to bother to remember the birthday of the bad person: "Yes, my princess, sit down, I will dress up for you." ”
Chu Qingli went to the dressing table and let Du Qinghe and another personal maid rub her hair.
Xiao Pan also dealt with the matter in his hand, and went to find Chu Qingli to enter the palace together, and when he arrived at the courtyard, he saw that the door was closed, Xiao Pan shouted: "Li'er? ”
Before Chu Qingli could answer, Du Qinghe spoke up first: "Lord, the princess is still changing clothes, please wait." ”
Xiao Pan paused, and his face showed expectation: "The king is waiting outside the door." ”
After a while, Chu Qingli appeared in front of Xiao Pan, wearing a rose-purple skirt, with red lips and bright teeth, radiant and colorful, and her skin was like condensed fat, even if she was wearing light makeup, she was even more downcast, extraordinary, and out of the world, just like a white lotus that could not be blasphemed, beautiful and enchanting, and at the same time, a cold arrogance emanated from her.
Even if he watched it every day, Xiao Pan still saw God, and it wasn't until Chu Qingli came over to hold his hand that Xiao Pan slowly came back to his senses and praised without hesitation: "Where did Li'er come from, a fairy." ”
Chu Qingli's ears were red when she was praised by Xiao Pan, she was always casual on weekdays, and she didn't use powder, now it was the queen's birthday banquet, as Princess Mu, she naturally couldn't embarrass Xiao Pan, so she dressed up, and when she heard Xiao Pan's praise, she was still thinking about whether she should often wear it to Xiao Pan in the future: "Fairies naturally come from heaven." ”
Xiao Pan led Chu Qingli and walked forward slowly: "Then I'm going to hold on to it." ”
Chu Qingli looked at Xiao Pan, who was dressed in a brocade robe embroidered with gold thread and ink, his eyebrows were picturesque, and his smiling eyes narrowed: "The prince is also very handsome today." ”
Xiao Pan hooked his lips, but he just held Chu Qingli's hand tighter, and he didn't speak.
The two of them got into the carriage together and went to the palace, the carriages on the road increased significantly, and all the dignitaries and nobles from all walks of life went towards the palace, and the other swords were the frames of Mu Wangfu, so they naturally let Xiao Pan pass first, and there was only one left, as if they were competing with the frame of Mu Wangfu, and they always wanted to surpass the carriage of Mu Wangfu.
Chu Qingli lifted the corner of the curtain slightly, looked at the carriage next to him, and couldn't identify which one it was for a while, thinking that Daqi didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Xiao Pan, and after pondering for a while, he probably guessed who it was.
Xiao Pan grabbed Chu Qingli's hand back and put it in his palm: "Don't look at it, you'll know who it is later." ”
Chu Qingli snorted, Xiao Pan in the dim light seemed to be covered with a layer of soft light by the candlelight, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes seemed to be more gorgeous, like a seductive male goblin.
Xiao Pan didn't notice Chu Qingli's eyes, and only rubbed Chu Qingli's hand: "It's cold at night, don't stretch out your hand." ”
Chu Qingli came back to her senses at this time, her face was hot, she couldn't see Xiao Pan distracted, and she was annoyed that she was obsessed with beauty.
But fortunately, before Xiao Pan could find out, the palace arrived, Xiao Pan got off the carriage first, and then helped Chu Qing to get off the horse, as soon as the two appeared, the surrounding officials, guards, eunuchs, palace maids and others Xiao Pan and Chu Qing left to attract attention.
Xiao Pan is handsome and incomparable, Chu Qingli in the moonlight makes people feel as if they are coming from the sky, and the two seem to have become accustomed to everyone's eyes, and they don't care at all, Chu Qingli cares more about whether she guessed who the carriage is just now, so he turned his head to look at the carriage that was one step behind and stopped, and sure enough, it was Hengyan in pink clothes who came down, with a delicate face and a graceful posture.
Chu Qingli sneered: "Sure enough, I guessed correctly. ”
Xiao Pan didn't even look at Heng Yan, and led Chu Qingli and walked forward.
And the Heng Yan in the back gritted her teeth, from childhood to adulthood, she Heng Yan was the one who grabbed everyone's attention, and now looking at the crowd around her, her eyes were all on Chu Qingli, and Xiao Pan, who was even more annoying, didn't look at her at all, her teeth were bitten by Heng Yan, as if she was going to eat Chu Qingli's meat raw.
Knowing that Chu Qingli and Xiao Pan's figures disappeared in front of everyone, they retracted their gaze, and only then did they slowly notice Heng Yan's figure, but Zhu Yu was in front, and Heng Yan was naturally not enough to see, so they were just welcomed in like ordinary people.
The queen's birthday was celebrated with the people, and the officials of all levels came, and when Chu Qingli and Xiao Pan appeared, there was still a small commotion, and many officials wanted to come forward to say hello, but Xiao Pan's phoenix eyes moved slightly, and they sat back in their places one after another.
Xiao Pan didn't want to steal the limelight from the queen, lest the queen take the opportunity to attack, so he pulled Chu Qingli to sit in his place, and the two who sat down still didn't let go.
This scene was all seen clearly by Heng Yan, who was left behind, and she felt that the jealousy in her heart was about to burn her, and she couldn't wait to die immediately the next moment, so that Xiao Pan would be hers.
Heng Yan lowered the hatred in her eyes, and when she looked up, she had a smiling face, which was delicate and pitiful.
One after another, everyone came, the emperor also came, and the hundred officials stood up to salute, perhaps a happy event, and the emperor was also in good spirits tonight: "The secretaries are flat." ”
In order not to make the banquet boring, a round high platform was built in the center of the main hall, dozens of people standing on it were fine, and around the high platform was a circle of water, which was drawn from the pool of the imperial garden, and the living water was clean and clear, but it could not see the low, and those who could not swim were afraid of drowning.
I heard that this was built to prevent those who performed to assassinate the emperor, after all, there have been banquets and assassinations for a long time throughout the ages, and it is an extra layer of protection for such a layer of water, and the second is to make the officials who drink too much rude and flirt with the dancing girls, singers and others, so this canal is considered dual-purpose.
The emperor and the queen sat in the first seat, Miao Guifei was slightly second, followed by the eldest prince, the sixth prince, and the second prince, and then Xiao Pan and Chu Qingli, and Chu Qingli was dissatisfied with Heng Yan sitting below her, Chu Qingli looked at the food in front of him, and his appetite was halved.
