Chapter 872: Catch the Wind
Lu Cancan changed into the county lord's court clothes and was about to enter the palace with his father, and when Gluli saw that she was dressed so plainly, she only wore a pair of golden hairpins on her head with a pair of pearls, so she wanted to let her change into the head she chose for her to enter the palace.
"I'm not the protagonist of tonight's palace banquet, why should I bother to dress up, and I'll have to die in trouble removing makeup when I come back."
Lu Cancan felt that the process of removing makeup was more troublesome than putting on makeup, she felt that she was already very heavy with these things on her head, and her neck would not be able to straighten up immediately, if her mother was adding something to herself, she was afraid that she would be tired to death.
Grully didn't give up, let Lu Cancan wait for him in the garden, and he immediately took out the treasured head and face.
Seeing that his mother had gone to get the first face, Lu Cancan hurried out of the house, and the carriage was already waiting outside.
"Dad, let's hurry up, if it's late, the emperor will be to blame."
Seeing that his daughter was in a hurry, Lu Pingyao said that he was also the county lord now, and it was not okay to always look like no girl like this.
"Dad, whatever you want to say when you come back, anyway, let's hurry up and enter the palace now."
If she didn't leave, her mother would force herself to take those heavy things with her in a while.
Lu Pingyao smiled and asked the coachman to go to the palace, and when Gluli chased him out, Lu Cancan had already run away.
Tonight's palace banquet is to welcome the envoys of the Jin Kingdom, so it is particularly grand, and it is more pompous than the last Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet.
"What is this veil?"
Lu Cancan saw that the row of seats next to him were covered with light gauze, hazy.
"There are foreign ministers and men, and the ladies in the palace except for the queen must sit behind the curtain."
The usual palace banquet can be without a curtain, but the envoys of the Jin State are foreign men, so the women of Dayan are not allowed to show up.
It turns out that this is the case, Lu Cancan thinks it's good, he doesn't have to face those people, and he doesn't have to smirk all the time, his face is still quite sour.
The envoys of the Jin State could only be seated at the end, and they had to pay homage to the emperor in person, so the atmosphere was relatively relaxed now, and the emperor and queen were not present.
Everyone is an official of Dayan, and they all get together to drink in twos and threes, and they can also move around at will.
"This is the county lord of Huihe who has just been sealed."
When everyone was drinking, they suddenly saw a woman with golden light shining all over her body walking over under the guidance of the palace maid, this person was none other than Yang Qiong.
Seeing that all the officials were looking at her, Yang Qiong's heart was very proud, sure enough, as long as she dressed up, she would definitely be able to overpower Lu Cancan, she was really shabby today.
Yang Qiong looked like she had put a lot of effort into the limelight, and even her shoes were covered with pearls.
But...... Lu Cancan glanced at the swaying of Yang Qiong's hair and frowned slightly.
"Yo, isn't this the county lord of Shouguang? I thought it was a maid in the palace. ”
Yang Qiong was not polite at all, and her swagger was revealed between her words.
With the support of the Yang family, she naturally dares to say anything.
Today's scene is not for them to be jealous of these girls, so Lu Cancan has the heart to let her, and he just laughs at Yang Qiong's provocation.
Yang Qiong still remembers that Lu Cancan asked her to salute her as the county lord before, and now she is also the county lord, look at how Lu Cancan still puts up a shelf in front of her.
Seeing Lu Cancan's respectful attitude towards herself, Yang Qiong also felt that Lu Cancan was afraid of herself, so she was very proud, she glanced at those curtains and was very displeased, what kind of rule is this, she is dressed up so good-looking, it would be a pity if no one could appreciate her peerless elegance.
Although Lu Cancan didn't want to meddle in things, but today was a state banquet after all, so she hesitated for a moment and said to Yang Qiong: "Sister Yang, this step on your head is ......." ”
Before Lu Cancan finished speaking, Yang Qiong said very proudly: "Even if you know the goods, this is carefully selected by me." ”
The step on her head is the Luan Feng inlaid with the best gemstones, the feathers of the Luan Feng are made of green jade, the pendant below is made of rubies, and the eyes of Luan Feng are still night pearls, and they are more brilliant at night.
Such a precious gemstone can only complement each other when worn on your head, and if you change it to others, you will definitely not be worthy of this hairpin.
"I think my sister should take this step shake off."
Yang Qiong glanced at Lu Cancan angrily, what did she say, could it be that she was red-eyed and jealous of her beauty?
"My sister didn't mean that, but according to Dayan's etiquette, my sister can't take this step."
kindly reminded Lu Cancan that Yang Qiong was only a deaf ear, she is now indulging in the envy of others, where can she manage anything else.
As soon as Lu Cancan wanted to explain his reasons, he heard a rumor from a eunuch: "The emperor and the queen and the lady have arrived." ”
Everyone hurriedly knelt down to greet them, only to see the queen and the emperor walking over together, and the concubine followed behind the queen with a smile.
It stands to reason that this kind of state banquet, the harem concubines are not allowed to attend except for the queen, and the emperor actually let the concubine also participate, which shows the honor of the concubine.
However, the queen's face is not very good-looking, she is the mother of the middle palace, and the concubine is just a concubine even if she is favored, and the emperor actually let her show her face, but she is really elevated.
Concubine Shu probably also took care of the queen's face today, so she didn't care about dressing up, but just wore an indigo-colored auspicious dress, tied a streamer of the same color around her waist, and carried a Luan Feng on her head.
The sharp-eyed person could see at a glance that this step shake was the same as the step shake on Yang Qiong's head.
The night pearls on the two steps are shining brightly at night, and since others can see it, then the emperor and the concubine can naturally see it.
Concubine Shu covered her mouth and seemed to be a little surprised by the swaying of Yang Qiong's head.
The emperor was also a little surprised, he saw Yang Qiong's court clothes and remembered that he had newly crowned a Huihe county lord a few days ago.
Yang Qiong didn't expect that she would bring the same step shake as Concubine Shu, and cold sweat came down in an instant.
"I remember that this step shake seems to be a tribute, why does the county lord of Huihe also bring the same step shake as Concubine Shu." The emperor asked Li Yuesheng to come forward and asked him if he had not rewarded anyone else except Concubine Shu.
"Back to the emperor, this pair of Bu Shao was originally a pair, one was given to the lady concubine, and the other should still be in the treasury."
Yang Taishi didn't expect Yang Qiong to dress up so ostentatiously on this occasion today.
The Luan Feng on Yang Qiong's head is a tribute to the pair on Concubine Shu's head.
The tributes in the palace are all demerit files and are kept by special eunuchs, but Yang Taishi's hands and eyes are all over the sky, and it is not difficult for Yang Taishi to embezzle tributes.
