Chapter Thirty-Six: The Splendor of the Ages

The lilac light yarn flutters even when there is no wind, like a dream.

"Girl, but do you want to put it on?" Cui Han asked.

I nodded. It was at the mercy of Cuihan.

"Girl, the prince sent Qinghe to pass the word, tomorrow you don't talk much, just listen and watch." Cui Han said to me as she helped me straighten my clothes.

I tugged at the corners of my mouth, "Hmm." ”

"The prince said that the wine in the palace is easy to get drunk, so let you drink less, don't lose your temper."

"Hmm."

"The prince said that the food in the palace is greasy, let you use more rice milk, don't eat it and spoil your stomach."

I raised my eyebrows: "Is this really what the prince said?" ”

Cui Han smiled and did not answer.

"The prince also said that this time, you have to know the true face of those jackals."

I couldn't help but skip a beat.

……

I didn't see Cui Han make a sound for a long time, and I wondered when I turned around, but I saw her standing on my right, her eyes wide open, and she only stared at me.

I touched my cheek, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Girl, you ...... It's so pretty, isn't it? ”

I just looked into the mirror, and I was stunned for a moment, is the woman in the mirror still me?

The lilac silk satin undergarment, with a white ribbon tied around the waist, makes the waist appear slender and soft.

The light gauze shirt on the outside was sleeveless, but it was dotted with layers of white tassels from the shoulders, fluttering like a fairy when walking.

The white and tender skin on the arms looms, adding a little coquettishness.

"Cuihan," I called out softly, "you say, is it really good to dress like this tomorrow?" ”

As I spoke, I spun around in front of her, and the hem of my skirt rippled like ripples, only to find that the skirt was embroidered with silk threads of the same color, and with my movements, it was like a little star, flickering non-stop......

The dress given by Cheng Luan is really gorgeous.

Cuihan Xu didn't think of why I asked like this, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"The girl is dressed beautifully, if the prince sees it, she will be happy."

I know that the prince in her mouth is definitely not the king of Luan.

It's just that I always feel weird in my heart.

Looking in the mirror, looking at myself, I was really conflicted.

On the second day, Cui Han came early to wait for me to freshen up, and pushed the door open, but saw that I had already cleaned up.

Seeing my outfit today, she was shocked: "Why doesn't the girl wear the purple glass gauze skirt that King Luan gave you?" ”

I filled the quiver with the arrow, and said lightly, "That's good." ”

"What's so good about being like a man like this?" Cuihan muttered.

I only wore a homely pale green tuged robe, and my hair was simply tied up with a white jade crown. If you look at it from behind, it really doesn't distinguish between men and women.

I didn't bother to explain to her that this robe, but I struggled all night to choose.

Descend the building, walk through the garden, and walk to the gate of Yuqing Garden, where King Luan was already waiting early.

He looked very surprised when he saw my outfit.

However, before he could open his mouth, I smiled and said, "The prince will not get in the car again, but it will be too late." ”

He couldn't speak, so he flicked his sleeves and got into the carriage in front of him.

I smiled faintly, and sure enough.

Cheng Luan was wearing a lilac robe and white palace boots today, which just matched the color of the dress he gave me.

I don't know what method he used to let Liu Mengye stay sick at home today.

It's just that if he and I were to enter the family banquet wearing the same color clothes today, it would not be tomorrow, and the whole of Kyoto would be in an uproar.

And this time I entered the palace, my identity is the master given by the lord of the country to King Luan.

If you make others chew the root of your tongue because of your clothes, which causes unnecessary trouble, it is not worth it.

King Li's Palace, in front of the Chengtian Palace, the flow of people is crowded, silk and satin, gorgeous clothes and ornaments, dazzling.

On this day, all the magnates of the country of Li were gathered.

The officials looked peaceful, smiled comfortably, and had a big belly. The women are as beautiful as peaches and plums, and they smile smartly. All the poverty and suffering in this world have nothing to do with them.

In that deep house, even if the eyebrows and swords face each other, it is to keep the most gentle and gentle country.

Cheng Luan also had to arrange a family banquet, so he had already been pulled by Cheng Yu to greet the Chinese officials, and I stood in the middle of this group of princes and grandchildren and the ladies of the family, smiling indifferently.

A few graceful women on the side pointed at me and whispered, but I didn't look at it.

About a quarter of an hour, the attendants in the hall shouted: "Enter the temple—"

The noise outside the hall instantly subsided. All that was left was the sound of footsteps.

I sat down in front of the second case near the throne according to Cheng Luan's instructions in advance, ignoring the accusations and surprises of the ladies and ladies around me.

A few men a little farther away from me were also pointing at me.

I knew that in their eyes, I might be an official's attendant or something, and I couldn't be so close to the Imperial Palace.

"I really don't know the rules!"

"Whose slave is this, don't take care of it."

"This kind of person doesn't know the rules, let's wait to see a good show."

"That's it, look at her arrogant appearance, she deserves to be beaten for a while!"

……

I shook my head silently.

It is said that the women of the princely family are all knowledgeable and courteous, and when they see it today, it is nothing more than that.

I felt as if someone on my left hand side was watching me all the time, and he didn't say anything. Then he looked back lightly.

It was a woman in a white dress, and when she saw me looking at her, she didn't shy away, but smiled at me and nodded, and I nodded slightly.

The woman's eyebrows did not seem to be from the Li Kingdom, and her extravagance was difficult to hide.

The man beside her had clear eyebrows, about forty years old, and was shaking her hand at this time, saying something with a smile.

This-I think it's the king of Nanshan in Chuzhou.

There is an empty seat on the right hand, and I think it is the seat of King Yu.

The two young sons in front of the opposite case, holding folding fans, were extremely elegant, and they should be the third prince and the fourth prince.

Above the main hall, in the place covered by the curtain, stood a burly man with white beard and hair. Holding a feather fan, he shook it idly. This should be Chengluan's father-in-law, the current national teacher above 10,000 people under one person - Liu Yanqing.

At this moment, he didn't seem to be disturbed by the noise in the hall, his eyes were lowered, and he only stood quietly, but his whole body exuded an aura that no one could approach.

As he was looking, the chamberlain shouted, "The lord of the country has arrived—"

The hall was silent for a moment, and all the people present stood up and bowed.

Cheng Shinan was dressed in a dark purple cardigan today, with black trim on the sleeves and hem, and a belt of the same color tied with a gold dark jade buckle.

At this time, he stood in front of the throne with a smile, looked around for a while, and waved his hand.

"You don't have to be formal, today's family banquet is all casual!"

It is customary to have the first cup of wine at a family feast to worship ancestors.

The palace attendants had already filled the wine glasses on each table.

At this time, Luan Wangfang hurriedly came out of the apse, sat beside me, and squeezed his eyes at me. King Yu then sat down in a hurry.

I smiled back at Cheng Luan, pretending not to see the wide eyes of the ladies and ladies.

"Raise a glass to our ancestors—"

The hall was solemn and silent, and everyone stood up.

Cheng Shinan raised his wine glass, his eyes towards the void: "The ancestor of the Cheng clan, the virtue of Zhangyujin, the heart of Zhaoda, protect my country, bless my people!" ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Protect my country, bless my people!" ”

"Protect my country, bless my people!"

"Protect my country, bless my people!"

Its sound is turbulent, and it can shake the heavens and the earth.

"Sit-"

After Cheng Shinan sat down, the rest of the people sat down one after another.

The monarchs and ministers toasted each other again, only to hear Cheng Shinan say: "The ministers can use some wine and food at will, this is all arranged by Luan'er, and everyone should not forget to thank him, ah, hahaha!" ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Thank you King Luan, King Luan bothered!" ”

King Luan hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

Looking at it like this, it is really a touching scene of father's kindness and filial piety, and the harmony of monarchs and ministers.

I was a little hungry and was about to eat some vegetables, when a sudden shout came from outside the door: "King Ningyuan has arrived-"

My heart jumped suddenly, and I hurriedly turned my head. Cheng Hao is here!

The entire Chengtian Hall suddenly fell silent, and the eyes of hundreds of people looked at the palace gate in unison.

After half a cup of tea, Ningyuan Wang Chenghao finally appeared at the door.

His eyes are clear, his expression is indifferent, and behind him is the scorching sunlight of summer. It's like entering a no-man's land.

Qinghe stood behind him, still wearing the dark green robe.

"Father, my son is late, please forgive me!" He sat in a wheelchair and saluted the lord of the country, still without much expression on his face.

"It's good that Hao'er is here, it's good to come, come, sit down!"

Because Cheng Hao has not attended the family banquet for many years, there has been no place for him at the family banquet for a long time. Cheng Shinan asked the chamberlain to arrange Cheng Hao's seat on his right hand. After that, they laughed and feasted with him......

I looked sideways, and I happened to take in the moment of ruthlessness in King Luan's eyes.

I'm here, and I'm looking at Cheng Hao obliquely. I could feel that his gaze had skimmed over me several times, but it was too light and shallow to catch it.

At this time, at the family banquet, everyone gathered in groups, thinking that it was also in the state of the court.

Cheng Luan suddenly patted my hand and nodded at me.

I knew what he meant, and I smiled at him.

He beckoned to the chamberlain and whispered to explain.

At this moment, I felt a cold gaze shoot at me, and the vegetable that was being sent to my mouth suddenly fell to the ground.

Following the place where his gaze came, he saw Cheng Hao sitting upright, his eyes like the ice of the thirty-nine days.

I couldn't help but panic, but I didn't know what I had done wrong.

So he recalled Cuihan's advice last night and hurriedly drank a sip of rice milk.

Looking up again, he had already turned his gaze elsewhere.

At this moment, there were suddenly a few crisp and long crane chirps, and everyone who was talking and laughing was surprised when they heard it, and they were all looking for the place where the crane chirping came from.

In confusion, three white cranes had already circled outside the hall, and the people in the hall exclaimed in unison.

After the white crane flew into the hall, he first flew around the hall for a week, and when he reached the south of Chengshi, he did not fly elsewhere, but circled several times above his head, called a few times, and then spread his wings and flew away.

A group of officials hurriedly shouted: "The lord of the country is really the master, so as to attract the white crane ......"

Cheng Shinan also couldn't stop laughing.

The three white cranes were not in a hurry to leave, but rushed up, flying towards the height of the main hall, after a few crane chirps, the main hall suddenly fell all kinds of petals, almost at the same time, a soft music came from around the main hall.

Those petals fluttered softly, the white cranes circled and chirped softly, and the music murmured, and for a time the Chengtian Hall was like a dream, like a fairyland......

When everyone was immersed in the soft dream, the white crane suddenly flapped its wings and flew away, the music stopped, and a few wisps of seven-colored long silk flew out from the sky above the main hall.

The long silk is made of special materials, shining brightly, and those long silk are staggered in the air, instantly forming several colorful rivers in the middle of the Chengtian Temple.

The soft music outside the hall gradually became high-pitched, and for a while the drums vibrate, the bells rang, and the singing voices of dozens of men became louder and louder—

Jinshui soup soup, reluctant day and night.

Comfort my heart, Yuer Qiong Jelly.

Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples.

The guests feasted, and the bells and drums were played.

Jinshui soup soup, reluctant day and night.

Comfort my heart, Li Min rejoices.

Gaogao crane song, the end of the clouds.

My heart is happy, and I am happy

……

This voice was louder than the other, and under the colorful river, it seemed to be about to resound in the sky!
