Chapter 45: The Guest
Xiaoguo had two more friends, and she was excited.
After chatting for a while, she patted her head and said, "Patronizing and chatting, the two younger sisters came over so early, but they had breakfast?" ”
Princess Sparrow smiled: "Sister Bai and I have already eaten!" The food at Hongyan Station is much more delicious than what our Qingyun Kingdom Imperial Chef makes! It makes me extra motivated to wake up every day! Sister Queen Mother, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? ”
Xiaoguo was a little embarrassed, she had just finished breakfast not long ago, but fortunately she was thick-skinned enough: "Of course I have eaten it too!" Now that I've eaten them all, I'll take my two younger sisters out for a walk! ”
The three of them walked aimlessly along the path in the backyard, talking and laughing.
The palace people followed far behind, passing by the outer walls of the Hundred Gardens.
Xiaoguo remembered a few couples who were happy for life at the meeting, and asked strangely: "Sister Sparrow didn't meet the type she liked?" ”
Princess Que said generously: "I really appreciate the injured Huang Gongzi, but my brother is not very satisfied. ”
As soon as Xiaoguo heard that she had a good impression of Huang Qingcheng, she hurriedly protected the media.
She brainwashed bitterly and said, "Sister, as a person who has come over, my sister will give you some advice." The marriage is your own, the opinions of the family are for reference only, and you have to make up your mind at the critical moment! Huang Gongzi is responsible, responsible, and has made a lot of contributions at a young age! Sister, you and ah, it's really a match made in heaven! ”
Princess Finch nodded again and again: "Finch likes bold people the most!" In this way, I have to trouble the queen mother's sister, and it is also great to be able to make friends with Huang Gongzi! ”
When Xiaoguo heard that there was still a play, he praised him more and more: "Huang Gongzi's character, this appearance, are top-notch wherever he is placed, how many young ladies in Hong Yan squeeze their heads, crying and shouting and competing to marry him!" ”
Princess Sparrow was a little moved when she heard this, and couldn't help asking, "He is so popular in Hongyan?" ”
Xiaoguo said nonsense seriously: "Of course, let's just say that yesterday when he was healing in the side hall, the young ladies who quietly slipped over to visit, and the love veils left behind were piled up!" No, Mrs. Huang has the idea of opening a handkerchief shop, no way, her son is too good, there are too many handkerchiefs at home, there is no place to put it! ”
Princess Finch sighed: "So many girls like him, it seems that I don't have much chance!" ”
Xiaoguo saw that the cow had blown his head and had a counterproductive effect, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister, don't give up in a hurry, as the saying goes, fat water does not flow into outsiders' fields, and buildings near the water get the moon first." With the relationship between our sisters, you wait, when his injuries are better, I will definitely introduce you to you and get to know each other! ”
Princess Sparrow was overjoyed and thanked Xiaoguo again and again for her kindness.
Bai Ling walked to the side expressionlessly.
Xiaoguo mistakenly thought that she had been snubbed, and said, "Yesterday, it would be good for Sister Bai to come to the Hundred Flowers Fair!"
Bai Ling said coldly: "I don't like to participate in this kind of activity!" ”
Xiaoguo was not discouraged, and then teased: "Presumably Sister Bai is interested in someone, so she doesn't like to participate!" ”
A handsome face appeared in Bai Ling's mind, and two blush flew up her cheeks involuntarily.
Seeing this, Princess Sparrow smiled and said, "I don't know if Sister Bai has a sweetheart, but there are indeed many people who like her!" Alas, from this point of view, my brother's desire to return to the beauty is very slim! ”
When Xiaoguo heard this, his eyes lit up: "Prince Bal is pursuing Sister Bai?" ”
Princess Sparrow snorted and laughed, "It's more appropriate to say that he can't ask for it!" ”
Xiaoguo had a clear expression, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Prince Bal has a good eye!" ”
Before you know it, you have turned a hundred gardens.
Bai Ling, who had been silent, suddenly pointed to a palace and asked, "I don't know which nobleman's residence is over there?" ”
Xiaoguo looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that at the end of the fork in the road next to her, a palace was hidden behind a tree, faintly visible.
She remembered that Lu Ru had said that it was an abandoned palace, and she knew very little about Concubine Mei.
It was rare for Bai Ling to be interested in something, so Xiaoguo asked someone to invite Lu Ru to tell the story of Concubine Mei in detail.
Fushou Palace is not far away, the ghost pulled all the way, Xiaoguo felt a little thirsty, so he suggested: "Let's not stand here and wait, go to the Empress Dowager to ask for a cup of tea, how about it?" ”
Naturally, the two had no objections.
The Empress Dowager is pruning flowers and plants in the courtyard.
The Hundred Flowers Festival is over, and the VIPs from all over the world are busy packing their luggage, buying souvenirs, and preparing for the return trip, and Fushou Palace has returned to its previous desertion.
Seeing Xiaoguo and his party coming, she hurriedly handed the flower scissors in her hand to the little eunuch: "Yo! How did you get here? ”
After each of them finished their greeting ceremony.
The Empress Dowager ordered people to place rattan chairs and bamboo catches under the laurel tree in the courtyard, and the palace maid served hot tea.
The sun is shining, the temperature is moderate, and the air is filled with a faint scent of flowers.
Idle and bored, Xiaoguo, Empress Dowager De and Princess Finch, the three of them gathered around the table and played cards.
Bai Ling was on the side, holding flower tea, watching the battle without a glance.
Xiaoguo is still not very familiar with the rules of solitaire in this world, after losing two cards in a row.
Bi Tao rushed over and whispered in her ear, saying something.
After hearing this, Xiaoguo's face changed greatly.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager asked "But what happened?" ”
Xiaoguo was hindered by the presence of outsiders, so it was inconvenient to speak, and he was even more afraid that he would break his work and lose his royal face.
She forced out a smile and said:
"It's nothing, Lu Ru is out of the palace to do errands, we don't have to wait for her!"
Empress Dowager De smiled: "Seeing that your face is not very good-looking, this palace thought that something big had happened." ”
Princess Finch also said: "Don't worry, it's not too late to hear about Concubine Mei's matter next time!" ”
Empress Dowager De said: "This concubine is the concubine of the first emperor, and it is true that she died unjustly, but the ghost is nonsense, and it is all rumored by these boring palace people to relieve boredom!" ”
Xiaoguo suppressed the anger in his heart, forced a smile and played a few more cards.
As lunch time approached, she entrusted the two guests to the Empress Dowager De and returned to Cining Palace ahead of schedule.
As soon as she stepped into the temple gate, she couldn't hold back anymore and said angrily: "Lu Ru is the person next to me, why didn't he ask my opinion and take it away?" ”
It turned out that the Dingwang Mansion sent someone to Cining Palace to inform Xiaoguo that Luru was going to be Dingwang, and the person had already been picked up.
Xiaoguo slapped his hand on the table: "Where are the people from Dingwangfu?" Call him here! ”
Bi Tao was embarrassed: "The people of Dingwang's Mansion will leave after bringing the words!" ”
Xiao Guo smiled angrily: "I just put it back in the palace last night, and I can't wait to take it out early this morning!" It seems that the king of Dingwang is inseparable from Luru for a moment! Anyway, the gentleman has the beauty of an adult, so what if the palace lets him! ”
Bi Tao heard the words in her heart, and secretly sighed for her master.
Xiaoguo raised her head and poured a large bowl of chilled orange juice, only to feel that most of her inner irritability was gone.
She took a deep breath: "You can't let this guy spoil his good mood!" Bi Tao, teach you a few new dishes today! ”
As she spoke, she approached the lantern fruit in front of the window and picked a handful of red fruits.
A choking smell came from the kitchen, smoking away the dogs and cats who were fighting in high spirits.
The little eunuch who was guarding the courtyard sneezed a few earth-shattering sneezes one after another!
In the kitchen, Angelica and Bi Tao, who were devastated by this smell, had nowhere to hide.
Bi Tao was better, holding her breath.
Angelica can be described as miserable, I saw him choked with red eyes and stuffy nose, and tears flowed!
The two of them thought together: The queen mother's relationship is to set up a Hongmen banquet!
Only Xiaoguo, unharmed and greedy, indulged in this long-lost smell.
