Chapter Twenty-Three: I Never Felt Like The World Was Worth It!
Feng Zhuohua took off his white silver fox cloak and put it on for Hua Taoyao, smelling the familiar smell, Hua Taoyao did not look back and continued to look at the lake and said lightly: "Only this time will it be so quiet here!" ”
"Take you somewhere?" Feng Zhuohua looked at Hua Taoyao and asked.
"Okay." After speaking, Hua Taoyao followed behind Feng Zhuohua.
After a while, the two came to the city wall, Feng Zhuohua flew up with Hua Tao in his arms, standing on the high city wall and looking down on the entire capital, with a kind of domineering spirit that looked down on all beings.
People have sorrows and joys, the moon is cloudy and sunny, in this Chinese New Year's Eve near the mainland, it is a full moon, hanging high in the sky like a jade plate, the streets of the capital are full of lights, a joyful atmosphere, the time to gather with the family is over, there are already pedestrians on the street, not long after a while, the most lively street in Beijing is already full of people, people are enjoying this moment of peace.
"Bang" A beautiful arc crossed the sky, and suddenly exploded in the sky, and after a while, the sky became lively. Not to be outdone, the fireworks show off their splendor, and a gorgeous feast is staged in the sky.
Hua Taoyao put her hands on the railing, the white silver fox cloak lined her face more and more overwhelming, she looked up at the beautiful scenery in the sky, her eyes were full of starlight.
"If there's anything that makes people feel worth it, it's the beauty!" Hua Taoyao muttered to herself.
"Before I met you, I never felt that the world was worth it!" Feng Zhuohua looked at Hua Taoyao with gentle eyes and said.
"Thank you!" Hua Taoyao looked at Feng Zhuohua and smiled lightly.
Feng Zhuohua raised his eyebrows, smiled softly and did not speak. Both of them tacitly knew that this was a fireworks feast prepared by Feng Zhuohua for Hua Taoyao.
Under the city wall, Hua Taoyu stared at Hua Taoyao viciously, her hands were clenched, and her pointed nails were sunk in her palms, and she didn't feel pain, "That woman actually knows the regent and can approach him, why?" "From the time she saw the regent Feng Zhuohua three years ago, she vowed to marry this man.
Three years ago, Feng Zhuohua returned to the court with the momentum of thunder, looking like an immortal, but his methods were ruthless, and he soon sat in the position of regent.
The emperor was jealous of him and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. The ministers of the court were very in awe of him, and the nobles of the capital all loved him, and they all wanted to get close to him, and even married him, and many people flocked to him, but none of them could get close to him within three steps. Legend has it that the regent has a serious habit of cleanliness, especially women, and those who want to get close to him are directly slapped away by his four secret guards.
But now Hua Taoyu saw something, she saw Hua Taoyao and Feng Zhuohua standing side by side, and the regent looked at Hua Taoyao and smiled gently. His smile scorched her heart, and Hua Taoyu's eyes shone with jealousy.
The snow was falling, covered in silver, and a white expanse covered the entire continent. This New Year passed in a heavy snowfall.
Spring is coming, the weather is suddenly warmer, the streets of the capital are gradually more crowded, and invitations from various prefectures are flying all over the sky.
Early in the morning, Dong Ling sent an invitation from General Zheng's mansion, inviting the ladies and ladies of the mansion to go to enjoy the flowers tomorrow.
On the day of the flower viewing, the ladies and ladies of each province were busy early in the morning, took off their thick winter clothes, everyone put on light spring clothes, and drove their own carriages to the gate of the general's mansion. Hua Taoyao jumped off the carriage easily, but Hua Taoyu walked down cautiously with the support of the maid and the mother-in-law, with the pomp and circumstance of a noble lady.
Hua Taoyao is dressed in red today, her skin is fairer and translucent, covered with a layer of light white veil, the simple white hosta on her head is pinned in the black black hair, and she is thinly powdered, the moment she comes out of the carriage, all eyes stop at her body, she doesn't know that she is so dazzling at this moment, which is very different from the rumored heavy makeup, cowardly and incompetent Hua Taoyao.
Hua Taoyu on the side tried to maintain the smile on her face, these eyes used to be hers, but now they were snatched away by Hua Taoyao, she hated it!
Everyone at the door of the small maid under the lead, came to the garden of flower appreciation, at this time the courtyard has been filled with all kinds of flowers, the first is the peony, the color is gorgeous, magnificent, known as the king of flowers. The second is the elegant and noble orchid, which is juxtaposed with "plum, bamboo, and chrysanthemum", and is collectively called the "Four Gentlemen...... What a flowery view.
"Yo, who am I? Isn't this the cowardly and incompetent Miss Straw Bag? It was the princess who spoke with Hua Taoyu, because Hua Taoyu often complained in front of the princess, causing the princess to be very disgusted with Hua Taoyao, who had never seen her. Every time I see her, I will ridicule her, and the previous Hua Taoyao never dared to refute it.
"Princess, the second sister doesn't like to read since she was a child, don't talk about her like that." Hua Taoyu walked behind the princess, deliberately explaining to Hua Taoyao with a sad face. It's just that after hearing her words, everyone despised Hua Taoyao even more, it turned out to be a straw bag that really didn't study, looking at the current Hua Taoyao, I thought it was a rumor!
Hua Taoyao didn't want to pay attention to this group of women with dry tongues at all, and when she was about to leave, suddenly a lovely woman came in front of her, and the woman had a pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear, as bright as stars. She smiled kindly at Hua Taoyao, and then said to everyone: "Mother said that the young ladies are here, let Lingyun entertain everyone!" Let's go over there for some refreshments. Before everyone could answer, he actually pulled Hua Taoyao and left first.
Hua Taoyao stared at the woman who was pulling her forward, a little helpless, didn't she say that she was going to drink refreshments? How do you feel farther away from the crowd?
The two came to a quiet pavilion before stopping, the woman stared at Hua Taoyao, circled around her, and then said with a smile: "Not only are you not like the rumors, but you are also so good-looking, much better than your third sister who is the first beauty in the capital." That woman looks hypocritical, I like you more. ”
"Really? Thank you! Are you General Zheng's daughter, Zheng Lingyun? Hua Taoyao looked at the cute and kind-looking woman in front of her with some amusement.
"You call me Lingyun, can I call you Taoyao?" Zheng Lingyun looked at Hua Taoyao expectantly and asked.
Hua Taoyao looked at such eyes, couldn't bear to refuse, and said loudly: "Yes." ”
Although Zheng Lingyun kept pulling Hua Taoyao to talk, Hua Taoyao kept listening to the side, only occasionally interjecting a sentence, but the two were like-minded, like friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and soon became familiar with each other. This is the first friend Hua Taoyao has made in this other world.
It wasn't until a maid came to call that the two of them were surprised to find that they had been sitting on the pavilion for a long time.
The two came to the courtyard in harmony, watching everyone chatting enthusiastically, all of them praised Hua Taoyu's embroidery skills, all of them called her a god show girl, and they all wanted to get her embroidery from her, Hua Taoyu was surrounded by everyone in the middle, proud like a peacock, everyone's praise greatly satisfied her vanity, watching Hua Taoyao come over, she looked at Hua Taoyao a little provocatively.
Looking at Hua Taoyu like this, Hua Taoyao was a little speechless, holding other people's things as her own to show off here, she still thought that she was the previous Hua Taoyao, didn't she know anything.
Zheng Lingyun next to her said with some envy: "If you want to say that this flower peach language is still good, that is, her embroidery is really the best in the world, I want it all, but my mother talks to me every day about wanting it." But there is no price in the market, and you can't buy it at all. ”
Hua Taoyao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you want it?" ”
Zheng Lingyun said with some disappointment: "There's no one who doesn't want it, okay!" ”
"Tell your maid to bring over everything you use for embroidery and pick the best." Hua Taoyao's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, taking this opportunity, it was time to take back his own vest, and it was really not very comfortable to put it in someone else's place.
Although Zheng Lingyun was puzzled, she still asked the maid to do it. After the maid left, the two found a seat, sat down and ate leisurely.
Hua Taoyao took a piece of pastry casually, ate it slowly, took a bite of the pastry, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and then she began to taste it slowly.
"Isn't it delicious, I made this myself, and I put today's flowers in it." Zheng Lingyun looked at Hua Taoyao, who was eating with relish, and said a little arrogantly.
Hua Taoyao thought that she could add this to the refreshments on the third floor of Peach Blossom Garden, turned her head and said to Zheng Lingyun: "Well, yes, next time I come to you to learn it and sell it." ”
Hearing that Hua Taoyao wanted to learn pastries, and then went to sell them, Zheng Lingyun asked Hua Taoyao with some concern: "Okay, but are you very short of money?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that there are a lot of places to use money, the more the merrier." Hua Taoyao said while eating the pastry.
"If you are short of money, I can give you some, my mother gives you a lot of monthly money, and I just don't have a place to use it." Zheng Lingyun looked at Hua Taoyao with a concerned face and said.
Looking at the innocent and lovely Zheng Lingyun in front of him, and then looking at Hua Taoyu who looked at her ill intentions in the crowd, a friend who had just met for a short time, and a sister who was her own, Hua Taoyao was a little moved in her heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you, I'll look for you if you need it." ”
The smiling flowers and peaches are more dazzling than the flowers blooming in the garden, Zheng Lingyun's eyes are a little unopen, and she muttered: "Is there anyone else who looks so good when they laugh?" ”
Looking at Zheng Lingyun like this, Hua Taoyao smiled and shook her head, not speaking.
Soon, the maid came over with a bunch of embroidery things, and the maid's movement was very loud, so everyone stopped and looked at her, until she was holding a lot of things in front of Hua Taoyao and Zheng Lingyun, and everyone looked at them again.
Hua Taoyu had a faint feeling in her heart that it was not good, could it be that Hua Taoyao had already discovered that the reason why she was able to become a god show girl was because she took her embroidery. No, it can't be, she asked Hua Taorui to do all this. Hua Taoyu comforted herself on the side.
"Is this going to be embroidered in public, this god show girl is here, isn't this going to be an axe?" The princess from before saw some embroidery in front of Hua Taoyao, and said mockingly.
"Yes, it's yourself who will be embarrassed then." A noble woman next to her chimed in.
Hua Taoyao didn't pay attention to them at all, and actually got up to pick out some things to use. Zheng Lingyun's mother looked at the unhurried woman in front of her with some appreciation.
