Chapter 73: Flower Viewing Feast
But the palace maid who led the way lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, without a superfluous word.
The two of them only said politely: "Concubine Shu didn't explain, Lu Changzai still waited for it, so ask it yourself." ”
If they don't say it, Lu Lingwei can't help it. The people around Concubine Shu couldn't help her lesson, so she could only put aside her unhappiness for the time being, and went to Yutang Palace side by side with Shen Lanxi.
"Meet the Lady." The two bowed their knees.
The person who was lazily leaning on the chaise longue opened his eyes when he heard the sound, his jade arm was raised slightly, and the lazy words also confided from his lips: "Get up." ”
"Concubine Xie." The two thanked each other at the same time.
The two were restrained, but Concubine Shu was not polite. After calling the two of them, they didn't even give one a seat, so he said bluntly: "I called you here today because I have something to tell you to do." ”
"Niangniang, but it doesn't hurt to say, the concubine must do her best!" Lu Lingwei quickly expressed her heartfelt feelings.
Shen Lan glanced at her in surprise first, and then nodded.
I haven't been pleasing to Concubine Shu several times in a row, but she can still be so enthusiastic?
Shen Lanxi couldn't help but admire Lu Lingwei a little.
She, who can do things with people on Qingyun Street without losing face, is embarrassed to please her like this...
"Concubine You is going to hold a flower-viewing banquet." Concubine Dong Shu ignored the small actions of the two of them, and explained her purpose to herself, "Your Majesty handed over this matter to the palace and Concubine You, and the palace came in unwell, and it was inevitable that she would be unable to handle this matter." So... You two are here to help. ”
"Whoa."
Seeing that the two people who responded were quite well-behaved, Concubine Dong Shufei couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
With a slight shake of the fan in her hand, she directly pushed the trouble behind her to Dong Cairen next to her: "For specific arrangements, you can ask Ashu." The palace is tired, so I went to rest first. ”
As soon as the words fell, she took the hands of the palace people and got up and left.
Shen Lanxi and the others had to set their sights on Dong Cairen.
Dong Cairen seemed to be accustomed to Concubine Shu's casualness, raised his lips and smiled, and naturally answered: "Now that the peonies in Yinchun Garden are blooming just right, the flower viewing banquet is set over there." As for the list..."
She glanced at the palace maid beside her, and the palace maid quickly handed the list to Shen Lanxi and the others.
After the two of them opened the list, Dong Cairen continued: "We don't decide the concubines in the palace, only the girls who have not yet married outside." ”
"A girl who hasn't married yet?" Shen Lanxi glanced at the list with lowered eyes, and his heart was sure enough.
None of the names listed on the list are concubines in the palace, all of them are outsiders.
Concubine You did not have a good relationship with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother did not take her to Changshan to worship the Buddha this time. She is bored in the palace alone, and it is not strange to hold a flower viewing banquet and ask someone to accompany her. But the question is, why did she invite people outside the palace?
It's all ... A little girl who is not married?
"It's said to be a flower view, but in fact, it's just for the King of Jinyang." Regarding Concubine You's purpose, Dong Cairen concealed it, and casually said to the two of them, "King Jinyang is twenty and one this year, one year older than our Majesty, and he has not yet settled the matter of his partial. No, Concubine You was so anxious that she thought about seeing each other in person. ”
Shen Lanxi understood.
Where is Concubine You holding a flower viewing party, this is clearly picking a princess for her son who only knows how to have fun.
The reputation of King Jinyang, she has heard some of it, it is not very good.
Although there is no princess yet, the concubines in the family are already in groups.
The name of the flower is outside, and the princess is naturally not very easy to find.
