Chapter 40: Attending the Feast of Flowers
Luo Xi lay on the bed, her thoughts swirling.
"I seem to care too much about my master, and now I don't even want to be called a master! Am I really that bad? Luo Xi felt aggrieved in his heart.
If you don't like me as an apprentice, then you don't need to teach, lest he be unhappy, at the beginning, he was stalking and letting him teach, and it was normal for him to be unwilling.
If he doesn't teach, then he will find his brother to learn, but he can't do it, so he will go to his father, and with the power of the owner of Yuquan Villa, it should be no problem to find a powerful master in the rivers and lakes.
Luo Xi thought about tomorrow's Hundred Flowers Banquet, and he couldn't lose the face of Yuquan Villa, not to be outstanding, but to be brilliant is always good!
A good night's sleep, Luo Xi got up early to wash, and Xiao Tao also combed Luo Xi's hair and dressed up!
Luo Zimo was already waiting for Luo Xi early, and when Luo Xi walked out of the room, Luo Zimo looked at her stinky sister, so beautiful! is worthy of his sister Luo Zimo.
The two of them sat in a carriage together and walked towards the legendary palace, Luo Xi was very curious, what did the ancient palace look like?
First of all, Luoxi sees the big city platform of the noon gate, the building complex looks scattered from afar, and echoes left and right, the whole shape is like a red bird to spread its wings and fly high, so the noon gate here is also called the five phoenix tower.
The first thing I saw was the five gates, and Luoxi, as a history lover, naturally knew that the tallest door hole in the middle was naturally not something that he could walk with his identity.
The middle doorway is usually only the emperor can walk, of course, there is one person who can walk, and he can only enter once in his life, that is, the queen who is marrying the Ming media When entering, it is the middle doorway that is walked.
There are naturally people who can walk, that is, the top three in the palace examination: champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua, but they can only go once in their lives, and it is the time to go out.
The other concubines are not qualified to go through the main gate in the middle.
The door openings on both sides are the passages of officials, but there are also regulations that only civil and military officials above the third rank take the east door hole, and the princes of the clan take the right door hole, and the civil and military officials below the third grade are divided into east and west shifts, entering and exiting from the left and right doors.
Luo Xi's father, Luo Hongyi, is a second-class person, so he can enter through the east side door.
If there is no special treatment, naturally the carriage cannot enter, Luoxi got off the car and followed Luozimo.
The first thing that catches your eye is a majestic palace with golden glazed tiles that shine brightly in the sun. The two golden dragons on the cornices are vivid, as if they are about to fly into the air.
The more Luo Xi looked, the more excited he became, this is an ancient building in the future!
Of course, what Luo Xi saw was the emperor's main hall, which was used to do business, with two corners of the platform in front of the palace, a sundial in the east, and a jialiang in the west.
However, Luo Xi also discovered an interesting thing, that is, the lion in front of the temple gate.
The stone lion has the effect of warding off evil spirits, and because the lion is the king of beasts, it represents majesty and nobility.
According to common sense, the left male and the right female, of course, are not only distinguished in this way, if the claws are stepped on as a ball, then it must be a male lion, he represents the unification of the universe and supreme power, it must be a male lion, and the young lion is stepped on under the paws, symbolizing the continuation of the offspring, and it must be a female lion.
The overall layout is strictly symmetrical on the central axis, with the buildings on the central axis being tall and ornate, while the buildings on both sides are low and simple, reflecting the sanctity of imperial power.
Sleeping in front and back is a building custom that has existed since ancient times.
Luoxi and Luozimo have their father-in-law to lead, and this time the Hundred Flowers Banquet is set up in Qilan Garden, next to Weiyang Palace.
Here by the mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, in this season, there are all kinds of flowers competing to bloom, and the people who come to participate in the banquet are the daughters of young and beautiful officials, people are more delicate than flowers, so it is called the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
Luo Xi arrived at the banquet and looked at the people around him, and knew Meng Xue'er, Luo Qiuye, Lin Xing, and Xue Lili, Luo Xi and Lin Xing sat together, because the fathers of the two had similar official positions.
Luo Xi just said hello to Luo Qiuye and them, and sat with Lin Xing to chat and talk.
A lot of people came one after another, and this seating arrangement was very particular, and Luo Xi couldn't see the face of the official's daughter at the end clearly!
And his position is at the front, and there are princesses in front, daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and other official positions that I don't know are correspondingly higher.
Luo Xi felt that he was here to make up the numbers, anyway, he didn't want to find a match, and he didn't want to be favored by any prince, so isn't it a little too far to sit here!
Luoxi habitually looks at the surrounding environment, it is really a good place.
"Isn't this Luoxi?" A babbling voice appeared, and Luo Xi turned around in a natural reaction.
I saw her in an emerald green dress, and after looking at her face, Luo Xi said in her heart: her qualifications are mediocre
"Yes, what does Miss do?" Luo Xi asked with a smile.
"Didn't King Yan come with you?" The woman's voice said.
As soon as Luo Xi was about to speak, he listened to the woman and said, "Oh, it's all my fault, you and King Yan have already canceled their marriage, so naturally you don't know where King Yan is!" ”
Luo Xi looked at the pretentious woman and said seriously, "Yes, your brain is not good, so don't come out and wander around, it's not easy to scare people!" ”
There was a burst of laughter behind her, Luo Xi knew that she definitely didn't help her, her previous personality, their favorite thing was to watch the excitement, or to watch the jokes.
"You!"
"There is no point in being poor here, it's better to dress yourself up beautifully and get the favor of King Yan, your clothes are not as good as the bunch of people behind me!" Luo Xi said in a low voice.
"yes, you're no longer a threat to me!" With that, he immediately walked away and changed his clothes.
"Who's this brainless guy?"
"A young lady of the imperial historian, who is friendly with the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is just afraid that she is also a foil!" Lin Xing said with a smile.
Luo Xi glanced at the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the crowd, dressed in plain white clothes, very demure in the crowd, but the woman just now was wearing emerald green, a very vulgar color.
Luo Xi just smiled lightly and said nothing, it seemed that it was a high-grade white lotus.
"What's your name?"
"Feng Zhihe, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the champion of the Hundred Flowers Banquet every year!" Lin Xing's concise introduction.
"Looks like it's interesting!"
"Forget it, as long as you can have a poem, it's good, we won't fight with her!" Lin Xing looked at Luo Xi and said with a serious face.
"You don't believe me so much?"
"You are famous for not learning no skills, I don't know how to start learning martial arts recently, as far as your previous writing skills are concerned, you still don't go up and throw me away!" Lin Xing said with a sincere face.
As soon as Luo Xi wanted to refute Lin Xing, he heard a voice, "My God, the four princes came over from there!" Magnolia is also there! ”
So, Luo Xi only felt that the girl in front of her ran to the front as if she was flying, Luo Xi sighed in her heart, sure enough, the charm of Yulan Gongzi is boundless.
It's just that when Luo Xi looked at the people who walked with Qingfeng, Leng Yue, and Mingyue, Luo Xi was not calm in an instant!
