Chapter 66, The Banquet
Su Lingling is really famous this time, the reason for being famous is more exaggerated than the last time she was famous, last time because of her beautiful appearance and good martial arts, her father specially promoted it, this time because of the problem of reputation, as the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, it doesn't matter if this one is famous, the emperor is alarmed, saying that he is going to hold a banquet, but in fact, he is just trying to prevent the two of them from continuing.
Su Lingling knew very well that his father and Sun Xianlin's father were both highly respected in the court, and if the two joined forces at this time, it would be a strong alliance, and the emperor was afraid that the two would unite to be disadvantageous to him, so this banquet was specially organized.
This banquet, to put it bluntly, is a blind date banquet for Sun Xian Lin and her, all of them are famous ladies, princes and nobles, and all of them have good family backgrounds, but compared with Sun Xian Lin Su Lingling, each is a little worse.
Su Lingling was dressed in purple clothes and mopping the floor today, extravagant, looking like a fairy descending to earth, and it caused a commotion as soon as she entered, but Sun Xianling arrived earlier than her, and saw Sun Xianling surrounded by a group of people from a distance, and the group of people couldn't see that they were ugly, but Su Lingling could see Sun Xianlin's helplessness, not only smiled, but when he wanted to walk over, he was hit by the people who came from behind, and the force of the collision felt that it was only heavy, so that Su Lingling did not stand firm all of a sudden, and the maids next to him did not react. At the moment, I fell a dog and ate.
Embarrassed, he was seen by Sun Xian Lin at this time, and hurriedly walked over to help Su Lingling, Su Lingling turned around and saw a person behind him dressed in white, with a fairy spirit, a lotus flower on his forehead, fair skin, and his appearance was not overwhelming.
Su Lingling looked a little familiar, and at this time, the tassel couldn't help but step forward and scold: "Don't you look at the road when you walk?" β
The man lowered his eyes and made a look of innocence: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Very pitiful, Sun Xian was lonely next to Su Lingling and asked if she was okay, Su Lingling shook her head, grabbed the angry tassel, and signaled her to forget it.
But the tassel looked at the dirty things on Su Lingling's body and said as if he was about to cry: "But Miss's clothes are dirty." β
The man looked up at Su Lingling's eyes and was even more apologetic.
"Otherwise, I'll accompany my sister down to change clothes." She said in a low voice, submissive, making people think that she was the one who was being bullied, and the tassel not only glared at her.
Sun Xian nodded beside him, meaning to let Su Lingling change his clothes, and Su Lingling had no choice but to follow her to change clothes.
During the period, the person walking on the road kept his head down, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, which made Su Lingling feel a little restrained: "I feel as if I've seen my sister somewhere." Su Lingling couldn't help but ask.
At this moment, he walked to the side of the pond in the backyard, and the koi fish in it were still scrambling to swim Su Lingling to look at the koi in the pool, and a bad premonition flashed in his heart, and then he saw that person looked up, still such a pure and harmless face, but Su Lingling always felt that something was wrong there, and then he heard an exclamation.
"Ahh Miss! The pool water plopped, Su Lingling hurriedly turned around and looked over there, and saw the tassels fluttering in the pool water.
"Go down too!" A grim female voice sounded from behind him, and then Su Lingling felt that he was being pushed behind his back, turned around and grabbed the person's arm, and looked at the person's frightened face with a sneer.
"I'm just stupid, and I won't be fooled a second time." Su Lingling just looked at her coldly, holding her hand without any effort, she was afraid that if she squeezed something out with all her strength, she would say that it would be serious, and she would have to suffer again.
The man frowned, the tassel was still struggling inside, Su Lingling took a look, presumably this person was a mistake, the pond water was not enough to flood no one, Su Lingling shouted at the tassel: "What is the flutter, don't hurry up!" β
Saying this, Tassel stopped struggling and found that the pool was not much deep, and hurriedly walked to the shore in embarrassment and looked at his own young lady.
"Idiot." The man suddenly broke free from Su Lingling's hands, glanced at the tassel, and scolded.
Tassel was suddenly unhappy and looked at the person and pointed his nose and was about to scold, at this time, Su Lingling saw the person coming from afar, pulled down Tassel's hand, and asked Tassel not to quarrel.
The guy over there asked, "What's wrong?" β
A group of people from far to near, it turned out to be a group of young ladies who were playing, Su Lingling didn't know it at first glance, that person was different, with his head down, looking submissive, as if Su Lingling had bullied her, and he was completely different from the ruthlessness just now.
One of them saw that the tassel was wet and asked what was wrong with the tassel, the tassel was a violent temper, and he wanted to say something when he pointed at that person but was stopped by Su Lingling.
"It's okay, it's just that the maid accidentally fell into the water to return her clothes." The group of people was skeptical, and that person also looked at Su Lingling, not knowing what Su Lingling meant.
As everyone knows, Su Lingling just didn't want to cause trouble, so he sent the group of people away, the tassel couldn't help complaining, and he had to be silenced by Su Lingling's glare, and the person looked at Su Lingling with doubts in his eyes.
Su Lingling explained: "I know that you are Qing'er last time, and I also know that you like Sun Xianlin, but even if I don't marry him today, with your behavior, it will not be your turn." Su Lingling said lightly, as if he didn't take the previous things seriously.
That person was poked in the heart, his face turned red, and a pair of eyes like spring water glared at Su Lingling, pointing at Su Lingling and couldn't speak, and finally could only put down his hand.
"Apart from me, who else can be worthy of Sun Lang."
The man said confidently, looking a little proud.
Tassel looked surprised and couldn't help but say, "Why are you so cheeky." Su Lingling didn't stop the tassel this time, and the man glared at the six-year-old maid beside her and suddenly became unhappy, and quarreled with the tassel.
Su Lingling had a headache when he heard this, and felt that he had been out for too long, so he grabbed the tassel and said, "Okay, don't make any noise, let's go change our clothes first." β
Tassel was a little unconvinced, and made a grimace towards that person and her maid and turned around and followed Su Lingling, such behavior was inevitably a little naΓ―ve.
Ah Ci was uncomfortable with bumps on the road, and finally arrived in the capital, went to find Sun Xian Ling, but was told that Sun Xian Lin went to the palace, there was no way, A Ci had to continue to find Su Lingling, but I didn't expect to finally learn that Su Lingling also went to the palace, but this time it was not without harvest, Su Lingling left her an invitation to go to the palace, and it was not early, Ah Ci looked at the gilded characters on it, hesitated again and again, or decided to go, although she knew that this was Sun Xian Ling and Su Lingling's engagement banquet, but she still couldn't let go.
looked at her savings, thought about it, of course she needed a gorgeous dress to go to the palace, went to a tailor's shop, and after asking the price, she felt that she couldn't afford it, but it was too shabby to go like this, but she couldn't go to the palace without a decent dress, and after weighing it again, she also bought a sky blue high-necked dress with a hard heart, and let the people in the tailor shop dress it up, and it was late, and it was almost the time to enter. I couldn't miss it because I was reasonable, so I decided to go.
Although Ah Ci knew that the palace, the place where she usually felt that the sacred was out of reach, she never thought that one day she would enter the palace.
It was already evening when Ah Ci entered the palace, originally Ah Ci thought that the night in the capital was already as bright as day, but he didn't expect that after entering the palace, there were bright halls everywhere, either holding lanterns, a row of people to pick up, or a tree pressed on a night pearl, like daylight, people have to sigh the luxury of the palace.
Waiting for people to get to the place to participate in the banquet, Ah Ci is even more emotional, almost ten steps to a night pearl, the whole hall is brighter than the day, usually only light candles at home, Ah Ci has to sigh that the night pearl is really a good thing.
When entering, Ah Ci's beautiful face attracted the attention of a group of people, to say that Ah Ci's face, lacquer-like black eyes, like autumn water, pink lips, full of color, the whole person is like a budding flower.
Sun Xian was not only stunned, but also a little obsessed, if Su Lingling is the plum blossom standing proudly in the snow, it makes people feel good-looking and appreciated, then Ah Porcelain is a fire lotus, dazzling and beautiful people can't take their eyes off.
When Sun Xian Lin reacted, he hurriedly walked to Ah Ci's side, Ah Ci saw the surprise on Sun Xian Lin's face and didn't say anything, so he saw Sun Xian Lin frowning and asked, "Why are you here?" β
A Cihan smiled: "Sister Lingling left me for an invitation, of course I'm coming." β
Ah Ci's voice was not loud or small, but the surroundings just heard it, Sun Xian Lin didn't pay attention to the strange eyes of the people around him, Ah Ci looked around, didn't see Su Lingling and asked Sun Xian Ling, "What about Sister Lingling?" β
Sun Xian Lin remembered that Su Lingling had not come for a long time to change clothes, but he didn't think much about it when he thought that it might be more troublesome for women to change clothes than men: "She went to change clothes." β
Ah Ci nodded and continued to look around, although this would look very earthy, but Ah Ci really couldn't help it.
So some jealous women began to talk behind their backs that Ah Ci was a dirt bun.
But the man thinks Ah Ci is very cute, no matter what others think, Sun Xian Lin felt that he needed to take care of A Ci, and led A Ci to a table where all acquaintances were known, and introduced to everyone, A Ci was very shy, and these eyes looked at A Ci like a hungry wolf looking at his stomach, which made Sun Xian Lin extremely uncomfortable.
But the other tables introduced were even more uneasy, so I still let Ah Ci stay here and wait for Su Lingling to come.
Ah Ci did it next to Sun Xian Lone, and the person next to her looked at Ah Ci with a taste of wine in his eyes with covetousness, and wanted to touch Ah Ci's hand, but Sun Xian Lone glared at him a lot.
But beauty is a man who likes it, Sun Xian Lin can stop the gaze of this person, but he can't stop the eyes of a table of people, Sun Xian Lin feels that others look at Ah Ci like this, he feels weird in his heart, and he can't say it.
