Chapter 14 │ First Meeting
Today, the longevity festival of Emperor Hui'an, Changling City is particularly lively, especially in front of the palace forbidden door, there are continuous carriages, officials of various families have complimented and greeted in front of the door, and local officials close to Changling have also come to the banquet.
However, to set up a state banquet in the palace, only the official ladies who have set up more than four grades can enter, so Linghu Zhengqi only brought Linghu Qingge into the palace alone, and only Shen Shu followed him.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, there was a little eunuch who led the way, leading Linghu Qingge into the harem, and an elderly grandmother could be seen at the gate of a palace in the distance, waiting for her to come. ”
The aunt nodded, and then smiled at Linghu Qingge and said, "The slave has seen Miss Linghu, this is the Fengyi Palace of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is grooming in it at this moment, let Miss wait for you." ”
Linghu Qingge was a little surprised when he heard this: "Don't I have to go to the Imperial Garden's Yuyu Xiaozhu first, and wait for the queen mother with those official ladies?" ”
"No," the aunt said with a smile, "the queen mother specially ordered, saying that Miss Linghu you don't like to be too lively, if you go to the imperial garden early, I'm afraid that Miss won't want to deal with it, it's better to wait here first, and go with the mother." ”
After listening to Linghu Qingge, his heart was a little warm, this today's Queen Shuning is very considerate and thoughtful, no wonder the emperor's harem only has two concubines and two nobles, and in addition, there is no extra favor.
Wait for only a quarter of an hour, there will be movement in the Fengyi Palace, only to see a lot of palace maids out of the palace gate, and there are phoenixes to follow, not much, there is a phoenix robe, the woman with the phoenix crown walked out of it, graceful and luxurious, Fengyi world, is the current Queen Shuning.
Empress Shuning slowly came to Linghu Qingge, and Linghu Qingge greeted her according to the courtesy: "The courtier Linghu Qingge has seen the queen's mother, and the queen's mother is blessed." ”
"Get up," Empress Shuning raised her hand, pulled up Linghu Qingge and looked at her, and said with some surprise: "The last time I saw you, it seems that it was when you were a child, and in the past few years, you have not often entered the palace, and this palace doesn't know that you have become such a beautiful girl." ”
Linghu Qingge said: "The mother praised it falsely, and the courtiers didn't dare to be it." ”
On the side, a grandmother reminded: "Niangniang, the hour is coming." ”
Queen Shuning nodded, on the phoenix and went to the imperial garden with Linghu Qingge, the palace banquet was set up in the imperial garden with a unique scenery of the rain building, walking through the small bridge and flowing water, it is a hundred flowers in full bloom, competing for beauty, and the front is laughter and laughter, and I can hear the palace maid in front of me singing: "The queen has arrived-", only to be silent, and to say goodbye to the silence.
Linghu Qingge silently raised her eyes and looked at the group of girls in front of her, only three or four of the dozen were familiar to her, and most of them had seen them from the last time she went to Qu Fuxi's birthday banquet, and she had never said a few words.
After a few words of greeting, they all took their seats.
After the queen and several concubines took their seats, those official ladies also sat down, and a girl on Linghu Qingge's side glanced at her, only to see that although Linghu Qingge was dressed elegantly, the aqua blue satin on her body was an expensive silver silkworm brocade, much better than the heavenly silk, so she intended to come over and get close, and came to her side and smiled: "Sister Qingge, your clothes are really beautiful, and the lotus flowers on it are also embroidered beautifully, like snow lotus, and it is not an ordinary material at first glance." ”
"Thank you." Linghu Qingge was a little unnaturally slightly hidden, the girl couldn't wait to lie on her body and get close, she didn't know how familiar she thought she was, and the aroma on her body was also very pungent.
The girl saw Linghu Qingge avoiding her, so she leaned over a little unwillingly and asked: "Sister, your jade pendant is also good-looking, I haven't seen it, what kind of rarity is it, can you show it to my sister......
As she spoke, the girl wanted to touch the jade pendant, so Hu Qingge brushed her sleeves away from her and said, "The queen is on top, don't lose the rules." ”
The girl was a little annoyed by the rejection, and before she was about to speak, she heard a young lady on the opposite side laugh and said, "Sister Yao, no matter how rare the jade pendant is, it is not as precious as the pair of nine-tailed phoenix hairpins on Miss Linghu's head." ”
Linghu Qingge raised his eyes, only to see that the young lady seemed to be the daughter of the Shangshu Lord's mansion, the "nine-tailed phoenix" bite was particularly heavy, only to hear the girl's eyes on the side of her turn around, a little ill-intentioned smiled, pretending to be surprised: "Nine-tailed phoenix? But my sister remembers that this nine-tailed phoenix can only be used by the middle palace mother, and no other concubine can use it without permission........."
Linghu Qingge listened, rolled his eyes, and went up, Queen Shuning glanced around, only to see a few concubines with surprise and disgust on their faces, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Linghu Qingge's headdress, so he cleared his throat and said: "Speaking of this phoenix hairpin, this palace remembers it, this is still the marriage that this palace gave to the eldest princess of Wanhe, you don't know, the emperor spoils Wanhe's sister, it hurts like something, and the palace also hurts her, and later I heard that this pair of hairpins was sent by the eldest princess of Wanhe to make the full moon ceremony of Qingge, This palace also knows about this, since it is the marriage of the eldest princess, the eldest princess can give it to whoever she wants, if you don't know the situation, don't talk about it. ”
After listening to what Queen Shuning said, the two girls' faces were blue and red for a while, and they all closed their mouths and stopped talking.
Singing and dancing until the sun sank, there was a little eunuch outside, but the emperor was not seen, I saw that the little eunuch attached to the ear of Queen Shuning and said a little, and then retreated, Queen Shuning got up and said: "Today the emperor is not strong enough to drink, and he has returned to Jinglong Hall to rest, so he will not come, and the palace is also lacking today. ”
Linghu Qingge heard it, just breathed a sigh of relief, she originally thought that the emperor would not come, and the banquet would be dispersed, so there was no such thing as marriage, but when she saw Queen Shuning, she turned around and said: "Qingge, come with the palace." ”
When Linghu Qingge heard this, the queen called herself over alone, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in her heart, it's over, I'm afraid that this time there is a chance that I won't be able to escape.
followed the queen to the Jinglong Palace, only to see that in addition to the emperor, there was only Linghu Zhengqi sitting down, and there was a young son opposite, dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, drinking alone.
Unable to take a closer look, Linghu Qingge hurriedly saluted and worshiped Emperor Hui'an.
Empress Shuning took a seat, only to see Emperor Hui'an also wave his hand and say, "Give a seat first." ”
A eunuch came over and led Linghu Qingge into the table, while the little eunuch poured wine, Linghu Qingge glanced at the man beside him, only to see that the man was also looking at Linghu Qingge suspiciously, Linghu Qingge only felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, and just about to guess something, he heard the emperor say on it: "This is talking on paper, but Er'er, now these two are in one place, so they are more compatible, what do you say, Lord Xiangguo." ”
Linghu Zhengqi smiled happily, and hurriedly got up and said after hearing this: "The emperor's vision is naturally the best." ”
Linghu Qingge listened, his eyes darkened, this is really ten out of ten finalized, the object of this marriage, I am afraid that this son is sitting next to him.
Thinking of this, Linghu Qingge quietly glanced over and looked at it again, only to see that this person was dressed in dark blue clothes, the jade belt around his waist outlined the slender waist, the figure was good, and the blue color lined his skin more fair, the contour of the side face was like a jade carving, the tip of the nose was a little delicate, the bridge of the nose was high, the lips were thin and red, needless to say, but somehow, Linghu Qingge always felt that it was a little cold here, this person didn't smile or speak, just sat there like an ice cube, and I don't know what kind of person it is.........
Linghu Qingge looked at it, and unconsciously remembered Mo Huiyin, the high-spirited smile was chic, the jade tree was in the wind, the moon was like a fairy, and there was a gap in his heart.........
