Chapter 18: The Lady of the City
When Ami and the others arrived at the flower-viewing spot, it was just dark, and there were still very few people there, and the table had already been set up.
Extending from the doorway to the front, there is a table flanked by two chairs, the rim and the chair back carved with delicate patterns, revealing a hint of majesty.
On both sides of the main seat, along the road, there are several rows of tables and chairs, and the cups and cups on the table are neatly arranged, which looks pleasing to the eye.
Ami looked around, except for their group, only a few dozen people arrived, playing near the flower bed, looking at the costumes, it should not be a dignitary.
It's rare to enter the palace, and you must take a good look.
Outside the venue, there are still some palace people standing quietly waiting to serve.
Ami casually swept around, and was about to retract her gaze and continue walking, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, laughing with a certain young lady.
She looked at it closely, and then looked back a little speechlessly and asked, "When did he run over?"
Xiaolian followed her gaze and smiled, "I...... I don't know. ”
Ami turned around and shook her head, and continued to walk forward, muttering in her mouth, "It's still the prince, it's like a little gangster......"
Since it was still early, Ami took a casual stroll first.
I have to say that the party in the palace is very compatible, and there is just a flower viewing party, Ami took Xiaolian for a long time, but she didn't turn her head.
Thinking that they couldn't go too far, the two walked for a while, then turned around and walked back.
When they got close to the door, there were more and more people, and the ladies of each family should have arrived one after another.
Estimating that the Queen Mother and the others should arrive in a while, Ami found a slightly secluded corner to stand, not wanting to attract attention.
In the era when there were no mobile phones, it was really boring.
Although Ami has been here for more than a month, she is still not used to this kind of life.
Counting the time Ami and the two of them entered the door until now, about an hour has passed, and after standing for so long, their legs and feet are very sore.
Ami thumped her legs, simply squatted down, frowned, bitter, "The shelves in the palace are big, when have they not come......"
Xiaolian looked at the person who suddenly squatted down in front of her, and her tone was a little hurried, "Ah...... County Lord, all the ladies who are here today are official ladies, don't make people laugh! ”
Ami waved her hand, "I know, I know, I'll get up right away." ”
As she spoke, she sighed, put her hands on her knees, and stood up suddenly.
Since Ami's location is a corner of the flower bed, she is covered by a clump of flowers when she squats, and she is not visible from certain directions.
When she stood up, it happened that a young lady with a servant girl turned around the corner, and looked at the figure that suddenly rose in front of her, and was so frightened that she took several steps back.
Ami didn't expect someone to turn around so coincidentally, and subconsciously leaned back.
Before he could react, he heard a voice with some anger in his ears, "Which young lady is this, why is this so rude." ”
Ami looked up and saw a girl dressed as a maid gently supporting a woman in a light blue palace dress.
The woman was born beautiful, and her light blue dress was also very eye-catching in this night, with fair skin and red lips, just like a beautiful girl.
At this time, the woman frowned slightly and looked at Ami.
Ami was about to say something, but Xiaolian next to her had already reacted and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my county lord didn't mean it, if the young lady is angry, punish the slave." ”
The woman gently pushed away the servant girl who was holding her, her slightly frowning brows relaxed, and her eyes looked at Ami with some surprise.
"Is the girl the lord of Jiahe personally appointed by His Majesty?"
In the entire Anling, there are only a few people who are called the county lords, and the ladies of each family walk around on weekdays, and they are somewhat familiar, but the county lord in front of him is very angry, and it is easy to guess the identity.
Ami was facing the woman and said with a light smile, "Exactly, I am so offended, I hope the girl will forgive me." ”
The woman also smiled, "Where is it, there are many people coming and going in the palace tonight, and it is inevitable that there will be some collisions, how can I talk about offense, but I am clumsy, and I didn't see the county lord's girl here." ”
"It's good for a girl to call me Bai Ge or Ami," she really wasn't used to being called that, "I don't know what to call a girl?" ”
The woman covered her lips and smiled: "My father is the prince of the court, and his maiden name is Ye Mingxin." ”
As soon as Ami saw her, she felt that she had an extraordinary temperament, but she had a good family background.
"I didn't think it was too Fu Qianjin, no wonder I felt quite angry when I saw it."
"When I came over just now, I heard that my father-in-law was summoned and said that the Queen Mother was about to arrive, and the white girl wanted to go with her?"
Ami looked in the direction of the door, most of the ladies had already passed and waited, so she nodded, "It's an honor." ”
With that, the two of them walked in the direction of the door.
I want to come to this daughter of the Taifu family, and she is also very popular in the noble girl circle in Anling, and there are many people who say hello along the way.
The two of them went to find a place where there were not too many people, and they chatted and waited.
After a while, a slightly lively female voice came, "Mingxin, who is this girl, so good-looking." ”
Ami turned her head to look, it was a woman in pink clothes.
Ming Xin smiled and said: "This is the lord of Jiahe, a noble girl in the city in the future, and she will inevitably move around more." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Ami and smiled, "This is the county lord of Qingyang of the Marquis of Yong'an." ”
Ami smiled at her and said hello.
Unexpectedly, this Qingyang County Lord is also a fool, as soon as he heard Ami's identity, he was surprised, and his voice was slightly higher.
"It turns out that she is the lord of Jiahe, and she is really as good-looking as rumored!"
As soon as these words came out, the young ladies of the surrounding families looked sideways.
"It's the first beauty in Anling, but it's so ......"
"Sure enough, I haven't seen the world, and I don't know what to wear when I enter the palace!"
"Looking a little cold, it's a bit dusty......"
"Miss Tongye can't be compared......"
……
Ami calmly accepted the gaze of others, deaf to their whispers.
Seeing this, Ming Xin gently pulled Qingyang by the hand, "Look at you, don't look at this occasion, you are still so reckless." ”
Saying that, he smiled at Ami again, "Don't be strange to the white girl, Qingyang is this kind of character on weekdays." ”
When Qingyang heard this, he quietly turned his head and stuck out his tongue at Ami.
For some reason, Ami has a better impression of the Qingyang County Lord who has just met.
For Taifu Qianjin, in modern terms, it is probably a nodding friend.
Just as he was thinking about it, the young ladies who were still whispering suddenly fell silent and looked in the direction of the door.
Ami followed and looked at the door, only to see her one-year-old father-in-law walk to the side of the door and stand still, put his hands on his abdomen, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Rong Guifei has arrived~"
As soon as the words fell, I saw someone slowly walking up the steps and appearing in the field of vision.
The woman at the head is a little old, but she is still in good spirits, with a smile on her face, she looks quite peaceful, and she thinks she should be the queen mother.
Behind the Queen Mother were two slightly younger women.
A phoenix crown on her head, a complex palace costume embroidered with gold thread and a flying phoenix, showing everyone's spirit, is the queen.
The other is dressed in a purple palace dress, dressed in a decent manner, with a quiet and soft expression, very gentle, and is Concubine Rong.
When the Queen Mother and others entered the door, all the ladies were blessed.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Wan'an, the Concubine Jin'an."
Ami watched their movements and saluted as well.
As she walked, the Queen Mother smiled and instructed, "Calm down, it's easy to enter the palace to gather, so don't be more polite." ”
"Yes~", everyone responded and got up.
The Queen Mother was very easy-going, and after sitting down in front, she didn't make any publicity, but just greeted the queen concubine sitting next to her.
Seeing that the Queen Mother did not command, the ladies of the family became a little bolder, and began to talk a little, and then they went to enjoy the flowers in groups.
Ami, together with Mingxin and Qingyang, also learned about the daily trivialities of the nobles in the city, but she didn't take it to heart.
On the main seat, the three of them were talking, but their eyes began to glance at Ami intentionally or unintentionally.
Ami noticed it, but she didn't see it, and she always had to come anyway.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a maid to come over.
She saluted the three of them, and explained her intentions, "Lord Jiahe, the Queen Mother is affectionate." ”
Ami looked in the direction of the Queen Mother, who was also looking at her.
She turned her head sideways and smiled at Ming Xin and the two, "So I'll miss the company first." ”
Mingxin smiled and nodded, "You can go, it's not too late to have a chance to get together again another day." ”
After hearing this, Ami took Xiaolian and left behind the maid.
Qingyang looked at the back of Ami leaving, very curious, "Hey~ I said, if someone gives you a set on weekdays, you won't be so enthusiastic, what's wrong today, it's really your appetite?" ”
Mingxin retracted his gaze, pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes full of smiles, "My thoughts, others don't understand, can you still not know?" ”
As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the flowers in the distance.
Qing Yang frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand it, so he immediately chased after him.
"What should I know, you wait for me......"
