Chapter Ninety-Eight: Prelude to the Hundred Flowers Banquet

"Miss, this is an invitation sent by someone from the palace, and it has been pressed by the second lady, but fortunately, the third lady has sharp eyes and has taken it back, this second lady is really bad!" Xiaohuan said in a straight voice.

The red parchment was covered with a gold seal, and Wei Xiyue picked it up and read it roughly.

"Although this flower banquet is mainly based on flower appreciation, but it is a talent competition between various ladies, who pulls out the first prize of the flower banquet can win the favor of the queen mother, marrying into the royal family is just around the corner, in previous years, the official lady who won the Oiran has the opportunity to choose a husband!" Xiaohuan walked around the room with his hands behind his back and said in a decent manner.

"Do you want to win the Oiran, Miss?"

"I'm not interested, there are people with talent above me, so I won't hit the wall." Wei Xiyue shrugged her shoulders and said a fluttering sentence.

"Really? If the young lady wins the Oiran, she will also have one more protection, and she can wash away her reputation in the capital! The more Xiaohuan spoke, the more excited he became.

Wei Xiyue sat in front of the bronze mirror, carefully stroking her face, her appearance was not bad, she deliberately used potion to cover up her beauty.

She never thought of winning the Oiran, she just wanted to join in the fun, and by the way, expose Wei Feiyue's ugly face.

Wei Feiyue's water strolling practice is perfect, Mei Niang also looks at Wei Feiyue differently, it has only been a few days, and it is indeed talented to reach this level.

"Papapa", Mei Niang applauded Wei Feiyue's achievements, "Miss Feiyue has made rapid progress, and now she has learned the essence of walking in the water, and no one in Beijing can surpass it." ”

"It's all good taught by the instructor." Wei Feiyue smiled with her eyebrows, complacent in her heart.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, the waves are in the sky, and a black shadow flashes out of the Weifu quickly, flying the eaves and walking on the wall, shuttling on the roof.

Wei Xiyue informed Wei Liuming that the people in the third room already knew her current whereabouts, and by the way, the person behind the matter was Wei Feiyue, and Mrs. Wei knew that it was Wei Feiyue, but she was bent on protecting Wei Feiyue, regardless of Wei Liuming's life or death, Wei Liuming, who learned the truth, was completely chilled by Mrs. Wei.

I originally thought that I would just like Wei Feiyue a little more, and I would like it, and I am also my own granddaughter, but I didn't expect the difference in treatment, it was just a day and a place.

"Big sister, now that my injuries have healed, you can take me back to Weifu!" Wei Liuming grabbed Wei Xiyue's little arm and begged bitterly.

"Liu Ming, don't be in a hurry to go home, do you know about the Hundred Flowers Banquet?" Wei Xiyue's eyes wandered, and her hand was gently placed on the back of Wei Liuming's hand.

"I know, the day after tomorrow is the Hundred Flowers Banquet." Wei Liuming nodded.

"I want you to shine at the Hundred Flowers Banquet and force Wei Feiyue to be a head."

"But...... Big sister, I can't win Wei Feiyue at all, the tutor that the second aunt invites to her on weekdays, Qingxue and I can only watch from afar. Wei Liuming's face shuttered, and she was still a little self-aware.

In this Hundred Flowers Banquet, Chen and Wei Feiyue must be ready to win the Oiran, and it is simply whimsical that they want to win.

This whimsical, the problem that can't be opened is man-made, Wei Xiyue sneered, in the previous life, Wei Feiyue relied on the Hundred Flowers Banquet to earn enough reputation for herself as a talented woman, but she used it as a stepping stone, causing a period of abuse, that vulgar remarks and ridiculing pictures still linger in Wei Xiyue's mind, and they can't be dispersed for a long time.

"Don't be afraid, I will naturally help you." Wei Xiyue took out a drawing from her arms.

It describes in detail the process of belly dancing in the Western Regions and the points that dancers need to understand, and no one in the capital can dance out of the Western Regions, which is a big chance of winning.

"This!" Wei Liuming burst into tears, Wei Xiyue was willing to take out such a good thing and give it to herself.

"This is what I got by accident when I was out fighting, I'm not interested in dancing, I'll give this to you, hurry up and practice in the past two days, and you will definitely be able to surpass Wei Feiyue."

Wei Liuming's dancing skills are no worse than Wei Xiyue's, but no good teacher knows about it, which causes Wei Feiyue to lag behind her, and Wei Liuming got the dance techniques and began to practice hard.

Huo Zeshen complained, "Are you still willing to come to see your sister?" I thought you forgot about her. ”

Since Wei Xiyue promised to show him a big baby, he has been squatting at the gate every day and breaking his hands to count the days, Wei Liuming's injuries are all healed, and Wei Xiyue has never come to see it.

Wei Xiyue comforted him and let him endure it for a few days, "Don't worry, I will send someone to pick up Liu Ming on the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and the big baby I promised to show you will certainly not forget!" Wei Xiyue continued to fool Huo Zeshen, what big treasure could she have, she was almost poor.

The person sent by Wei Feiyue did not reply for a long time, and when he came back to report, he learned that the person was gone, and he became anxious.

"How could people be gone?" Wei Feiyue knocked over the tea cup on the table.

"I don't know where the little ones are, I have carefully looked for the gathering place of the bandits, and I have also gone to a few nearby mountains, but they are all gone." The little guy fell to his knees and shivered.

"Well, you go down first!" Wei Feiyue waved his sleeves to let him leave.

The little guy had just walked a short distance from the back door of the Wei Mansion when his neck was broken and thrown into the beggar's den.

Wei Feiyue asked Mrs. Wei to find Wei Liuming's whereabouts, and Mrs. Wei felt strange.

"Grandma, Wei Liuming is gone, what can I do?"

"Don't be afraid, either the corpse will die outside and be eaten by wild beasts, or it will be taken away." Old Madam Wei tightened the crutches in her hand.

"I've already asked people to look for this matter, the sky is falling and there is a grandmother on top, don't be afraid of the concubine." Old Madam Wei comforted Concubine Wei while sending someone to find Wei Liuming.

On the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the carriage outside the Wei Mansion had been prepared early.

Wei Feiyue can be said to be dressed to attend, a long skirt made of rose and purple satin on the upper body, not old-fashioned at all, the dark needles are embroidered with a piece of pattern, the placket is embedded with a pearl of gold clouds and jade, surrounded by a layer of tulle with gold edges, and a pink and silver belt is tied around the waist. In particular, a golden silk jade cloud hairpin on the bun is dazzling, and there is an eight-treasure jade pendant in the ear.

Wei Xiyue tugged at the corners of her mouth, those who knew were going to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and those who didn't know thought that they were going to run for the imperial concubine, which was too exaggerated.

"Big sister!" Wei Qingxue shouted excitedly.

Wei Xiyue turned around and looked, and saw the shadow in the distance, slim and elegant. Wei Qingxue slipped her skirt and walked quickly towards Wei Xiyue and Wei Feiyue.

Today's Wei Qingxue is spiritual, her eyelashes are like a light Luo fan, her big wet eyes like a fawn, and her cold expression only add a little fairy energy.

The light blue gauze soft skirt covers the small body, a wisp of light yarn of the same color surrounds the waist to make a skirt veil, the cuffs and neckline are embroidered with flowers that are ready to bloom, and the hem is connected with small broken crystals. The small face with a big palm, the red lips are dotted, and the little powder is already delicate.

"Come over Qingxue, let the big sister take a look, what a symbol beauty!" Wei Xiyue said.

Wei Qingxue turned around in front of Wei Xiyue, "It's good-looking!" ”

"It's beautiful." Wei Xiyue took Wei Qingxue's hand and got on the horse, Wei Feiyue stomped her feet and followed.

The carriage drove to the gate of the palace, and when the three of them got out of the car and were about to enter the palace with an invitation, a runaway carriage suddenly crashed into Wei Xiyue.

"Hey, get out of the way!" The coachman couldn't hold on to the reins and shouted loudly.

There was no way to escape before the palace gate, Wei Qingxue closed her eyes in fear, and Wei Feiyue hid behind Wei Xiyue.

Wei Xiyue didn't blink her eyes, pulled Wei Qingxue back, gathered her true qi, and kicked on the faΓ§ade of the stunned horse.

The horse's head was directly kicked off by Wei Xiyue, and with a "click", the horse's legs knelt in front of Wei Xiyue, and he was about to hit it one meter away.

Wei Xiyue's kick frightened everyone, some young ladies hid behind the maid timidly, and some even fainted.

"Ahh

The man who was sitting in the carriage rolled down, and the coachman and the maid were under the mat so that they did not fall to the ground.

"Bold, who dare you to commit murder at the gate of the palace!" The pretty woman stood up in embarrassment, and pointed at Wei Xiyue as if she were a jade onion.

"This horse demon broke in front of the palace gate and almost hurt people, I also counted it as eliminating harm for the people, and I also saved your life, right is your attitude towards the life-saving benefactor?" Wei Xiyue raised her leg and patted the dust on her feet, looking like she was watching a play.

The pretty woman knew that she was wrong, so she didn't argue with Wei Xiyue, and walked into the palace gate quickly.

Wei Qingxue came back to her senses and hugged Wei Xiyue's arm tightly, "Don't be afraid, this horse didn't hurt anyone." Wei Xiyue said.

Wei Feiyue's face turned white with fright, and it took a while to adjust back, and said: "The woman's name just now is Pang Yaoyao, she is the daughter of Taifu, Taifu has a daughter in old age, and there is only this one daughter under her knees, she loves and spoils her very much, I am afraid that my sister's words just now have annoyed Pang Yaoyao." ”

"Oh? The daughter of the Taifu, it's not too early to go, hurry up and enter the palace. Wei Xiyue took Wei Qingxue and Wei Feiyue to walk.

Wei Feiyue was obviously much more well-behaved outside, and she didn't dare to argue with Wei Xiyue, just like a well-behaved sister following her sister, relying on snuggling.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet is set in the center of the Imperial Garden, and all the seats are seated according to the official position of the official lady's father, and each seat of different levels is placed with different kinds of flowers, the more advanced it is, the better it looks.

Wei Xiyue's father is a first-class general, so the seat is naturally leaning on the front.

"Big sister, where is my place?" Wei Qingxue pointed to the corner on the left.

Wei Xiyue pulled Wei Qingxue to sit with her, and Wei Feiyue also sat cheekily, Wei Xiyue did not drive away very much, lest she end up as a harsh cousin before the banquet started.

"I see some of these flowers don't bloom this season, how do you do that?" Wei Xiyue said with a serious face.

Wei Feiyue secretly complained that Wei Xiyue, a turtle, naturally has a greenhouse in the palace, which can regulate the temperature, and flowers can basically be cultivated in it all year round.

"There is a greenhouse in the palace, and the queen mother likes to raise flowers, which was specially built by the emperor."
