Chapter 28: Birthday Banquet

Li Moxuan felt like a stone in her heart, and she was not happy. went to the back garden for a walk, took a walk, and ran into Qu Lingxue from Xia Heyuan again.

This Qu Ling Xue was favored before leaving Moxuan to enter the mansion, because she looked a little similar to Limo Xuan.

After leaving Moxuan and entering the mansion, Yun Chuhan threw her aside.

However, this Ling Xue and Qian Qiaoqiao are not a few goods. Her family has been an official for generations, although she is not a high-ranking official, but she is also a scholar.

Qu Lingxue is a typical lady, who knows all about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

After falling out of favor, Qu Lingxue was the same as before. I've never heard of her complaining. Li Moxuan didn't know if she really didn't care, or if she didn't love Yun Chuhan at all.

For a long time, Qu Lingxue has never provoked half a point.

At this time, Qu Lingxue was dancing. Among the flowers, she was dressed in a long purple dress, like a butterfly.

Li Moxuan was unhappy in her heart, unwilling to talk to people, and turned around to leave.

However, Qu Lingxue had already seen her.

"The concubine body greets the side concubine."

When Li Moxuan heard Qu Lingxue's voice, she knew that she couldn't hide, so she had to turn around and squeeze out a smile: "I saw that Qu Ru was concentrating on dancing, and I didn't want to disturb, but I didn't expect to disturb." ”

Qu Lingxue smiled: "Since she was seen, the concubine will not hide it from her mother." On Niangniang's birthday next month, the concubine wants to dance a dance to Niangniang, but she hasn't decided yet. ”

Qu Lingxue's words made Li Moxuan's eyes light up, and she suddenly remembered that "no long body" for a long time, and the haze in Fang Cai's heart had disappeared half in an instant.

"Qu Ruren has a heart, I thank you first. It's just that I don't need my sister to bother so much on my young birthday. Li Moxuan's words were very polite.

"Niangniang, the concubine is a little tired, so she will retire first." Qu Lingxue saluted and left.

Li Moxuan looked at Qu Lingxue's back and smiled slightly: "Jinglan, you said that I will be born next month, will the prince treat guests like last year to celebrate my birthday?" ”

Jinglan said with a smile: "Niangniang forgot, the prince said that it should be celebrated every year." ”

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Li Moxuan's mouth: "If you let Li Jiujiu make a fool of herself in public and lose the face of the prince, the prince will not want to go to the Winter Snow Courtyard." ”

After speaking, Li Moxuan remembered something, and the smile on her face disappeared: "I thought that the prince would not wait to see her because of me." Unexpectedly, the prince went to see her because she was poisoned, and now he is on her couch again. It seems that I am becoming less and less important in the heart of the prince. This year's birthday, maybe he has forgotten it a long time ago. ”

"Miss, don't think about it, the prince will definitely remember." Jing Lan hurriedly comforted.

Li Moxuan shook his head and sighed: "The prince is so busy, it's normal to forget my birthday." ”

"Who said the king forgot!" Yun Chuhan's voice came from behind.

Li Moxuan was startled, and quickly turned around, but saw Yun Chuhan coming over with a smile. He happened to hear what he had just said.

"Say hello to the prince." Li Moxuan saluted respectfully.

Yun Chuhan hurriedly took her hand and motioned for her to get up.

"This year, the king will invite more friends to bring their families. This time, it was more lively than before. ”

"Lord Wang, isn't this too public?" Although it was exactly what Moxuan wanted, she still had to pretend.

"This king wants the whole capital, and the whole world knows that you are the king's favorite woman." Yun Chuhan gently took Mo Xuan into his arms.

From afar, Qu Lingxue and her personal maid Su Xin were looking at the two of them.

Qu Lingxue's face was calm, and there seemed to be no trace of vinegar.

"The eyes of the side concubine are above the top, and there is no need for the widow to please her."

After listening to Su Xin's words, Qu Lingxue smiled faintly: "One mountain does not allow two tigers. I want to know how to drive Li Moxuan out of the palace with a little cleverness. ”

"Aren't you disdainful of arguing with your concubine?" Su Xin was puzzled.

"These two tigers are not separated from Moxuan and me, but also separated from Moxuan and for a long time." Qu Lingxue said patiently.

Su Xin was confused: "Ruren, princess, she ......"

"It's not a sick cat for a long time. Let's go. ”

Qu Lingxue turned around, her long skirt was elegant, and she looked a little fairy.

It's night.

Xia Heyuan was quiet, and a dark shadow flashed in.

There was only one candle lit in the bedroom, and it was dim and hazy. Qu Lingxue sat in front of the dresser, dressed in plain bedclothes. Three thousand green silks hung down, like fairies.

Behind him, a pair of hands gently rested on Qu Lingxue's shoulders.

Qu Lingxue's calm eyes rippled, and a smile appeared on her face, with joy and a hint of shyness. She looked forward to it all day long, but the man behind her.

"How's that, still no chance?" The man spoke.

Qu Lingxue's eyes dimmed: "Wait for the opportunity, one hit will be hit." Otherwise, in vain. ”

The man noticed the change in Qu Lingxue's mood, and he hugged her gently: "How long will it take for you to return to me?" ”

Qu Lingxue's dim eyes lit up again, and she was full of expectation: "This Chu Palace, I don't want to stay for a moment." But, for your sake, I must endure. ”

There was a hint of strangeness in the man's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He gently picked up Qu Lingxue and walked to the bed.

After the rejoicing, the man left.

Qu Lingxue lay quietly on the bed, feeling his residual body temperature disappear little by little. She stretched out her hand and couldn't catch anything.

"Why, even if it's close at hand, it's like the end of the world." After saying that, a line of tears flowed out.

***

Teahouse.

"Although this Limoxuan is the concubine of the prime minister, she is a concubine in the Chu Palace."

"The prince of Chu spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, who in this capital doesn't know?"

……

There was a lot of discussion in the capital.

However, Yun Chuhan didn't care. The invitation has been sent out a long time ago, and today's Chu Wangfu is lively.

The feast begins and the guests are seated.

Fuyuki-in.

Sitting in front of the dresser for a long time, he seriously drew his eyebrows.

Bi Luo combed his hair in a bun for Lijiujiu, did he look at Lijiujiu in the mirror.

Suddenly, Bi Luo put down the comb, and there was a hint of resentment in her words: "Miss, the prince will not invite Miss to celebrate Moxuan's birthday!" Miss listened to the sound of silk and bamboo outside, and she had been thinking about it for a long time! ”

Li Jiujiu smiled faintly, and his eyes fell on the bed, where there was a new dress. It was the clothes she asked Mrs. Liu to buy, measured the size, and found a tailor outside to make it. Just delivered it this morning.

"They are happy with theirs, and I am happy with mine. Biluo, wait a few days, you can also make a new dress! ”

Only then did Bi Luo's face have a happy face: "Miss turned out to be for new clothes, so the slave maid was relieved." ”

After speaking, Bi Luo picked up the comb and continued to comb Lijiujiu's hair.

The other side.

Yun Muqing's eyes swept and smiled slightly: "Third brother, why don't you see the princess?" ”

When this question was asked, everyone was silent and looked at Yun Chuhan together. Among these eyes, there is no lack of excitement. After all, it's no secret that Yun Chuhan doesn't like to leave for a long time.

Yun Chenhuan didn't look at Yun Chuhan, nor did he look at Yun Muqing. He had expected that he would not show up for a long time today. gave the concubine's birthday to the concubine's room, but the main room was not there, which was not in line with the etiquette.

But this is Yun Chuhan's family matter after all, and Yun Chenhuan knows that he should not ask.

But this Yun Muqing opened his mouth, seemingly unintentional, but in fact, he also knew it.

Li Moxuan reacted quickly, and said to Yun Muqing with a smile: "My sister is not feeling well today, and I don't know if she will come." ”

This sentence can be regarded as relieving Yun Chuhan.

Someone below whispered: "I don't know if I'm unhappy in my body or unhappy in my heart." ”

Hearing the discussion below, Yun Chuhan was unhappy. He expected that Yun Muqing was deliberate and deliberately made him embarrassed.

"Lord Wang, it's better to order someone to go and see my sister. If you are feeling better, come and sit. Li Moxuan said to Yun Chuhan.

"Someone, go and invite the princess." Yun Chuhan was unhappy in his heart.

When the messenger maid came to the Winter Snow Courtyard, she had just changed into her new clothes.

"Niangniang, the prince invites you over." When the maid had finished speaking, she withdrew.

Bi Luo frowned and looked at Li Jiujiu: "Miss, where is the prince singing?" ”

Li Jiujiu smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter which one he sings." Let's go. ”

After saying that, he walked out after a long time.

Bi Luo hurriedly followed: "Is Miss really going?" I heard that the prince invited a lot of guests to this banquet......"

Hearing Bi Luo say this, he stopped for a long time: "I know what you're worried about. I'm a princess, and if I go, it will only make people laugh. However, if you don't go, won't others laugh at you? ”

After a long pause, he said, "Since he asked me to go, then I will go." It's just right, let everyone see if Princess Chu is really as unbearable as rumored. ”

After speaking, he walked out for a long time. Biluo hurried to follow.

The banquet continued, Qu Lingxue was wearing a light blue dress, dancing in the sound of music, like fluctuating water patterns. Everyone looked at her beautiful dancing and couldn't help nodding frequently.

Yun Muqing looked at Qu Lingxue with a polite smile on her face.

Yun Chenhuan picked up the wine glass and drank it all, his eyes swept over Qu Lingxue, but he didn't stay long, and he didn't seem to be interested in her dancing.

A dance is over.

"Okay", Yun Muqing turned his head to look at Yun Chuhan, "Third brother, Qu Ruren's dancing posture is really a must in the capital." ”

"Mu Wang Ye Miaozan." Qu Lingxue saluted respectfully, and then returned to her seat.

"The second brother laughed." Yun Chuhan smiled.

Li Moxuan, who was sitting next to Yun Chuhan, smiled, but she was very unhappy in her heart. Qu Lingxue's dance directly compared her to her.

Just now, Li Moxuan danced a dance, and Yun Muqing did not praise it so much.

"Why hasn't this princess come yet?" Someone at the bottom asked.

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from outside: "The concubine is late." ”

The crowd looked out.

A hint of coldness flashed in Li Moxuan's eyes. She came, and she couldn't help herself.

Li Jiujiu walked into everyone's sight wearing a pale green dress. Three thousand green silk such as satin, above the bun, an orchid silver hairpin, very elegant. The eyebrows are like Yuandai, and the eyes are like water. Under the small and delicate nose, the mouth is like Zhu Dan. The posture is slender, and the walk is like a breeze.
