Chapter 86: Three Women, One Play
The women's table is located on the west side of the Xiangluan Palace, looking out from the west gate is a royal garden that covers a very wide area, the scenery is luxurious and exquisite, the courtyard is scattered, the garden is full of orchids, quite fresh and elegant.
The main hall gate is the exclusive use of the royal family, like the court and foreign ministers can only enter the palace from the side door to show the difference between dignity and humility. The side door on the west side of the Xiangluan Hall has to pass through the entire imperial garden, Qu Junyan had to say goodbye to Qu Rui, and a little eunuch carried a lantern to lead her into the table.
After the huge flower bed, there is the Qingxin Pond across the two mountains, and there are bright lights all the way, illuminating the entire palace as if it were daytime. The water of the pond is clear and long, the shore is full of orchids, the mountain island is shaded, the waterfront vine is covered with rosewood, there is a bridge in the middle of the Qingxin pool, and a pavilion is built on each of the two mountain islands. There is still a period of time before the opening of the banquet, and along the way, the scattered pavilions are full of daughters from various families, and they sit together in twos and threes, chatting about energy.
Qu Junyan is playing the fox in his sleeve, while enjoying the scenery in the garden with great interest, looking at the green plants and flowers piled up with money, so beautiful, even in modern cuttings, grafting is difficult to see. Without waiting for Qu Junyan to sigh at the spring of the garden, a noble-looking girl came towards Qu Junyan surrounded by Mama Yahuan.
She is very good-looking, with delicate eyebrows, a goose-yellow Luo skirt, lotus under her feet, graceful and graceful when walking. The girl had a light smile on the corner of her mouth, giving people the impression of being weak and kind, she raised her eyes to look at Qu Junyan, paused slightly, her eyes looked like flowing water in spring, and the corners of her mouth were a kind smile.
When Qu Junyan looked at her, she was also looking Qu Junyan up and down curiously. Qu Junyan participated in the birthday banquet this time as the eldest lady of the Rui Wangfu, so naturally he could no longer use Yi Rong. The mask, the small face without powder is picturesque, and the cold temperament is like the morning dew of Chunhui, which has a little more meaning in the crowd of warblers and swallows. Although Yixi Bai Yi is too quiet, others only need to look at her and know that she is from an extraordinary background, and this kind of appearance and bearing are by no means ordinary people.
Qu Junyan didn't mean to make any extraneous branches, and after sweeping a glance, he staggered his gaze and continued to follow the footsteps of the little eunuch. However, just as Qu Junyan approached, the nurturing grandmother beside the girl suddenly approached and whispered in her ear, the girl was surprised to cover her cherry lips that were open in surprise, and her beautiful eyes instantly changed from kindness to mockery.
With a scrutinizing and inquiring gaze, she looked Qu Junyan up and down with disdain, and a mocking sneer rose at the corner of her mouth, although she didn't speak, Qu Junyan clearly read the contempt and contempt in her eyes.
"Tsk, how unpopular is the predecessor...... Qu Junyan touched her nose, and if she didn't step out of the house, she would never know how much her image was spurned in the eyes of the people of Yongguo.
"Stop." When the two of them were staggered, a coquettish reprimand came into Qu Junyan's ears.
Qu Junyan stood indifferently, calmly turned to look back at the source of the sound, but the smile in his eyes gradually converged.
It was the noble girl who spoke, and at this time her kind little face was crumbling together as if she had seen some filth, and the corners of her mouth were hooked into a sarcastic smile. The girl's well-developed figure was half a head higher in front of Qu Junyan, and she looked down condescendingly at Qu Junyan's small body like bean sprouts.
"You are the Qu Junyan who angered the second sister?"
Qu Junyan couldn't help but touch his nose a little speechlessly, and after brainstorming for a long time, he didn't remember who the surname of this "second sister" was...... I have to say that if there are too many enemies, the jar will really be broken.
"Abba Abba ......" holding the fox's hand restlessly gestured back and forth, Qu Junyan's bright little face suddenly lost its charm, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence with his empty mouth open.
The expression of the noble girl slowly froze on her face, her expression was a little puzzled and a little confused, and finally she frowned and asked, "Do you know who I am?" ”
Qu Junyan rolled his eyes very unimpressively and shook his head decisively. But an evil smile flashed in her eyes, she wasn't lying, just because she knew the original didn't mean she definitely knew it!
The noble girl looked at the nurturing grandmother in confusion, and saw that the nurturing grandma who had been observing Qu Junyan from the side also frowned, and her heart was even more uncertain. In the end, he flicked his sleeves in a negative manner, and after heading lightly towards Qu Junyan, he left quickly without looking back.
Qiqi Xiaozhengtai squatted in Qu Junyan's spiritual world to see it clearly, and was shocked by his master's excellent acting skills, and rolled on the ground with laughter!
Why the hell do you want to be shameless? It's okay to pretend to be dumb in the palace!!
It's just a loss to Fang Cai, that girl is not bright-minded, after the birthday banquet election, which official who doesn't want to live will bring a dumb person to the banquet? I'm afraid that when she comes back to her senses, she won't be half angry!
Qu Junyan's eyes flashed with a bad light, and the soles of his feet were smeared with oil.
Along the way, there were also many famous ladies who met each other and took the initiative to salute Qu Junyan, but after being reminded by the people around them to know Qu Junyan's name, they all walked quickly, as if they were afraid that they would be infected with bacteria if they got close to her.
Qu Junyan didn't fluctuate in her heart and even had a hint of wanting to laugh, she originally expected that this original body would not be welcomed, but she didn't expect that just one name would make people despise Ruosi, and it really refreshed her awareness of the original body again and again.
The little eunuch who led the way walked quickly, and it seemed that he couldn't resist the contemptuous gazes around him, and he couldn't wait to take Qu Junyan to the place to do some errands immediately. Qu Junyan had no interest in this birthday banquet, and had no intention of causing a riot and causing unnecessary trouble, so he let the little eunuch speed up.
Suddenly, a small sound came from the rockery not far away.
"Have you heard? Although this time it was selected in the name of the birthday banquet, in fact, the real candidate was not here! ”
"Oh? Sister is saying that there is a secret in this? ”
"Haven't you heard that the Queen Mother has rewarded Lord He'an with a lot of tribute as a dowry? I heard that today's banquet was set up in the Xiangluan Hall for her, just because the hibiscus that the lord of He'an had always been thinking about bloomed, and the queen mother let her walk less when she went to the imperial garden. ”
"Wouldn't it? Although he is the same emperor as the lord of Anjun, didn't the emperor say that he would be elected in front of the civil and military officials? It doesn't have to be the lord of He'an. There was a great deal of unconvincing in his voice.
"Are you really stupid or fake? Regardless of the appearance or talent of the county lord of He'an, it is second to none in our Yong country, not to mention that she is the niece of the queen mother, the queen mother loves her so much, do you say that the emperor can marry someone else if he doesn't marry her? ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence around them, and after a long while, an unwilling voice said carefully: "If it's about appearance, in fact.... There is also a person who does not lose and the lord of An. ”
"Who?" Everyone asked in unison.
"Haven't you all heard that above the court, the emperor appointed Qu Junyan, the eldest lady of the Rui Wangfu family, to sit at the table? He also said that he wanted to see the most beautiful face in the capital. Listening to her appearance, she is really unparalleled in our Yong country, and it is unique in the world! ”
"Are you crazy? Compare that straw bale incompetent female devil with the lord of Anjun? You forgot the ...... at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet before"
The voice stopped abruptly, and the words so far made several people realize something, and someone immediately diverted the topic.
"Ahem, that's it! If it is said that the lord of He'an is an immortal Nine Heavens Xuannu, then Qu Junyan is the mud on the ground! With her delicate and willful eldest lady's temper, she is not even qualified to be a servant girl for the lord of He'an! ”
"That's right! Who are you not good at, and you are actually compared to that female devil? is just an uneducated stinky girl, have you forgotten her disgusting appearance in the capital's infamy? I really feel embarrassed to mention our woman, and I don't know how the regent ...... on weekdays."
For a while, the voices of the eldest lady of the Rui Wangfu came and went, full of righteous indignation, it was really three women in a play, and the woman who had justified Qu Junyan's name before was being attacked by a group at this time, and she could only draw circles on the ground depressedly. One crime after another fell into Qu Junyan's ears between their words, so that after hearing those trumped-up charges, her, couldn't help but want to scold a few words of shameless behavior.
The little red fox who was held in Qu Junyan's sleeve made a restless "cooing" sound, struggling with his two front paws and about to rush out, eager to immediately scratch those people's faces on the spot.
Dare to slander his master in front of him! Really when their patriarch is a bully?!
Qu Junyan lightly pressed the cuffs and smoothed the little fox. The cold gaze was unmoved, how others scolded Qu Junyan before was irrelevant to her, but the last words of those women set off a gust of wind in Qu Junyan's eyes.
The lips of the unpowdered delicacy are pursed into a straight line, the eyes are like a clear stream, shining in the sun, and a deep wave flashes in the depths of the eyes of the ancient well.
Several women on the rockery were still in full swing criticizing Qu Junyan's lack of talent and virtue, but they didn't notice that long before a pillar of incense, a small figure had quietly come behind them.
Qu Junyan lay on his side on the branches, lazily looking at the five famous daughters who were sitting in the rockery pavilion and talking. The little red fox lay on the branch next to him with his fluffy tail, blinking a pair of red eyes and looking at Qu Junyan's smiling expression.
"Master, let me bite them to death?" Namihiro finds it difficult to understand what her new master is doing, shouldn't she be angry when others insult her? Why do you crouch on a small branch and listen closely?
Qu Junyan raised his eyebrows and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. "I'm thinking about whether to use them to practice my hands."
"How do you want to play?" Poor little Zhengtai is interested.
"It's too cheap to beat them, and since the prey sent to the door is naturally to be ravaged." The little red fox suddenly found that her new master's bad taste was very strange, and she was still worried about why the process couldn't be complicated.
Relatively speaking, Qi Qi Xiao Zhengtai was much more excited, because he faintly saw the movements of his master......
