The crown prince Chapter 29 The Jade Mansion Banquet Gets Drunk and Spring
This year's Daughter's Day, came much more lively than in previous years, the emperor led the concubines to watch the lanterns and enjoy the flowers in the Yixuan Palace, different from the previous step-by-step, today's Daughter's Day has some new ideas.
For example, the young ladies of the right age have received the post handed by the queen, and all the young ladies of the right age have brought sachets into the palace, and they are all judged by their embroidery skills.
It is true that as soon as these words came out, Yinzhou City can be said to be boiling, whether they participated in the palace banquet or not, or the women who were not married at the right age all embroidered and competed in embroidery.
On the surface, it is for the embroidery skills, but in fact it is for the choice of a husband and son-in-law, the girls hand their own embroidered sachets to the man they like, if the man accepts it, he can ask the saint for marriage, if he refuses, he can also choose another lover.
But since ancient times, women who have been rejected have always been laughed at, but the most troublesome thing for me is not who to hand the sachet to, but that the queen sent an embroidery girl to teach me embroidery.
also made a special decree, probably telling me that as the future princess, this year's sachet will inevitably be displayed in it for the ladies to learn and copy, and don't make people laugh at it.
I have a splitting headache, although I am not good at embroidery, but I have learned a few years since I was a child, although the technique is not as good as other ladies, but it is also a common scale, mediocre.
However, I don't really like this thankless job, I don't really understand why I prefer women's embroidery, but the fruits of my hard work are cheaper for others, so I always find an excuse to escape.
However, this time, the queen sent the best embroidery girls in the palace, not to mention four or five, that is, I was invisible, and it would be difficult to escape from their Wuzhi Mountain.
Yi Zhi is only half a day, the four embroidery girls will be upright in the main hall, I sighed at the high efficiency of the palace on the one hand, and wanted to cry without tears like the fish on the board to be slaughtered.
Although they are acting in accordance with orders, but their seriousness is really obvious to all, I feel from the bottom of my heart, beating the palm must be the folk custom of the people of Yinzhou for generations, but whenever I doze off a little, it will inevitably be beaten, it can really be said that the ruler is out, the palm hurts.
I practiced about three or four days, embroidery Niang asked me to embroider the mandarin duck, about three days after the acceptance of the results, it is true that I have seen birds, seen the clouds, enjoyed the sunset, embroidered the sunset, but I have never seen the mandarin duck.
Fortunately, I am very humble, as the saying goes, I am not ashamed to ask, it is true that I have not seen it, but it does not mean that others do not know, but the fact is that most people have seen it, but the opinions are different, and I have asked many people, I still can't think of what the mandarin duck looks like.
I sat in the hall and meditated for a long time, suddenly a person called me from behind me, slender fingers stroked my forehead, bringing a burst of coldness, I was startled, and got up suddenly, the person immediately took two steps back, I was about to shout, but when I turned around, I saw that the person who came was Han Qi.
He covered his arm and looked at me in great pain, and I wondered for a long time before I remembered that his arm had been seriously injured, and that I had accidentally injured him when I had just gotten up.
I hurriedly stepped forward to look at the wound on his arm, but was grabbed by his other hand, I secretly screamed that I was fooled, wanted to push him away, gritted my teeth
"Despicable."
How did I forget, this injury was obviously made by himself on purpose, and he could be expressionless at the time, why I hit it so painfully.
He easily opened me, rolled up his sleeves with his hands, revealing a white-wrapped gauze that had been soaked with blood, apparently caused by force, and I was about to call the doctor to take a look, but he stopped me.
He looked at me with a light smile, and there was a small yellow door behind him, and he was turning his back to look at the situation at the moment.
"Show it to the princess."
Han Qi opened his lips slightly, and his body had moved to the chair and sat down, completely looking like he was fine, and he didn't notice any discomfort.
When the little yellow door behind him heard this, he immediately turned around and didn't dare to look up, but I recognized him, my head was stunned, and I looked at his face carefully, wasn't he the little chamberlain who was sent to stop Han Qi that day.
That is to say, in the days when Han Qi was out of the mansion, this person came to serve, so all the plans I made with Han Mu were passed on by him, so Han Qi knew all the movements of me and Youqing in the mansion.
In other words, Han Mu and I had been planning for a long time about how to seduce Han Qi, but he actually knew about it......
Not only did he know, but he also pretended not to know and led me to embarrassment. My head roared, and I felt like I was being toyed with and applauded, and before the little yellow door could put it on the table, I was furious, and took the tray and threw it on the table.
Suddenly, everyone in the room except Han Qi knelt down, probably never seeing me lose such a big temper, and Youqing hurriedly ran in from outside the house.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, what to do next, whether to quarrel first and then fight or fight first and then quarrel. After thinking about it for a long time, I felt from the bottom of my heart that if I lost a fight with him first, then there would be no momentum when I quarreled, so I scolded loudly
"Han Qi, you are shameless!"
He sat steadily in front of the desk, as if he had expected me to behave like this, and he was not very angry. But the maids in the house were sweating profusely, probably because no one had ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of Han Qi, but they were all at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Han Qi casually put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyes to look at me, and his eyes were so deep that people were confused, and then he muttered
"How shameless am I? Is it shameless to carry you back from the inner courtyard, or shameless to give you clothes? ”
I wasn't sure in my heart, but his words made me dispel this thought, and I said sharply
"The little yellow door who reported the news in the mansion that day was him, and you must have assigned him to my side to spy on me."
Han Qi sneered and asked
"Why should I spy on you, I think it's easy to imprison you in this mansion, I want to know what you're doing, find someone to ask, why bother sending someone to spy on you?"
I was stunned by what he said, and I opened my mouth and couldn't speak in anger, but I really had no evidence, so I could only grit my teeth
"Let's go."
Han Qi didn't say much, got up and strode out of the room, and the little yellow door that was kneeling on the ground also wiped the sweat on his head, and ran out with Han Qi rolling and crawling.
My scalp was tingling with anger, and when I asked if I needed to assassinate them, I shook my head and sat down.
In the next two or three days, not only the people in the palace were boiling, but even the streets and alleys also spread, and everyone said that the king of Qi and the future princess were not on good terms, and it must be because the person who the prince liked was not that Chen Luo, but the daughter of the Lu family.
When Youqing came back and talked to me, I wasn't really angry, I think they said it was good, I was not from the same world as him, so why bother to force it.
When the embroiderer arrived in the house, I was still sitting on my stomach in front of the desk embroidering the sachet, although I was very careful not to prick my fingers, but I still inevitably opened several flowers on my hands.
When the embroidery lady took it, she shook her head helplessly and leaned over to look at me
"It's Daughter's Day in two days, and a sachet like a princess will definitely not be able to get her hands on it."
I don't know how to embroider mandarin ducks, I only embroidered a pair of birds in the air, which is unsatisfactory, I sighed slightly
"It's true that even if I embroider a mandarin duck, I don't know who to give it to."
The embroidery lady didn't speak, but only commanded me in a deep voice
"Princess, you have been working overtime to embroider Caixia in the past few days, if you can embroider Caixia on this sachet, you can also amaze the four."
I didn't think about the stunning four, but I was good at embroidering Caixia, so I nodded and agreed.
For the next two days, I was almost in a hurry, and I didn't know how many times I pricked my fingers, and a few times I was about tired, and somehow I fell asleep, but I was still woken up by Youqing.
She was always by my side, less than I slept, but she couldn't embroider, and she could only accompany me all day, unable to do anything, and sometimes she would quietly wipe her tears behind my back, and turn her head to pretend that she was fine.
Caixia's embroidery method is extremely complicated, and I am a little unskilled, so it took a long time to embroider, but fortunately, it was completed before the Daughter's Day.
When the maid put on my clothes, I still looked sleepy, but I didn't remember the clothes when I thought about them, and asked the young man on the side softly
"I've never seen this outfit"
Youqing hurriedly said that Han Qi sent it to the room that day, I recalled it carefully, and there was indeed such an incident, and I didn't notice it when I was dizzy that day.
When I sat in the sedan chair with Han Qi, I couldn't keep up my spirits, I don't know when I lost consciousness, and I fell asleep groggily, very quiet along the way, and I slept very deeply.
When I opened my eyes, I had already entered the palace, and the young man woke me up, and Han Qi had already taken a few steps ahead, so when I entered the seat, I saw that Han Qi was already sitting upright in the seat, and I was led to the other side to sit down.
I was not surprised, but he was still angry with me because of the events of the previous day, and the banquet was set up outside, and the Yixuan Hall was very magnificent, and the lights were bright everywhere.
Even if it is as dark as a cold night, it can still see things like day, just like a small market, with flowers in full bloom, competing for beauty, fragrant, but awakening.
About a stick of incense time, the guests have entered the table, pay respects to each other, is to sit in a precarious position, in addition to the princes and ministers, naturally the ladies of the Daughter's Day are indispensable, each dressed up to attend, well-behaved and moving, among which the most dusty person is the daughter of the Lu family.
Of course, there are also many palace young masters, although they are not as meticulously dressed as the ladies, they are also personable, and they asked the women present to secretly send autumn waves.
The emperor and the empress joined hands at the table, and the last time I attended the palace banquet, the emperor joined hands with the most favored concubine Xi, I could see Han Qi's side face in this direction, I thought he would be sad, but I didn't want his face to be as usual at the moment.
Smiling slightly, the palace ministers next to him chatted happily, and opposite him was Lu Peipei, the daughter of the Lu family.
Her eyes wandered, but often fell on Han Qi who was opposite her, I guess she liked Han Qi about it, maybe meeting her on the street that day was also preparing for today's Daughter's Day......
