"Sister Cui misunderstood, I didn't mean it."

The smile on Xie Yanhe's lips was as warm as wine, and she said softly: "Sister Cui is also a person who loves incense, as the saying goes: swords give heroes, and pink gifts beauties." These spices are also used to give them to Sister Cui. ”

Hearing this, Cui Zisu had no choice but to get up and bow to the county lord of Yonghe: "I thanked the sister of the Xie family first." ”

It's not that Cui Zisu is shallow-eyed, but that the two spices that Xie Yanhe said are all rare things, if Cui Zisu still insists on not accepting it, it will seem a little ignorant to lift up.

"Sister Cui likes it."

The maid held the brocade box with the ivory carved landscape royal blue lacquered sand inlaid with luodian and sent it to Cui Zisu, and after opening it, a faint fragrance came to the nose.

These two brocade boxes alone are worth hundreds of taels of silver.

Wu Bijun handed over the painted banquet map to the maid and asked her to send it to the male guest. This is only the first draft, as for the places that still need to be polished and retouched, after the banquet is over, Wu Bijun will take it back to the house for revision.

Seeing the brocade box given to Miss Cui by the county lord of Yonghe, she bent her knees towards Xie Yanhe with a smile, and flattered: "The spices that the county lord gave to Miss Cui, the people's daughters looked hot, I don't know if the county lord has a reward here?" ”

Wu Bijun was born in a family of imperial merchants, how could he be such a shallow-eyed person, saying this is just for fun.

Xie Yanhe smiled slightly, and his tone was very soft: "Agate, go and bring my interstitial screen of "Three Stars Gaozhao, More than Auspicious" inlaid with white jade, which is my reward to Miss Wu." ”

As soon as Xie Yanhe's words fell, he saw a maid as delicate as a pear blossom leading the way. After a while, he and another maid carried a small interstitial screen.

This interstitial screen is one foot eight inches high, using the court technique of gold lacquer inlay, and the center of the screen is carved into trees and mountain stones with rosewood, and inlaid with white jade to carve into the three stars of Fu Lu Shou with longevity peaches, gourds and crutches. The back is equipped with a square glazed fish tank, which can be used to raise fish in water. The bottom of the seat screen is figure-eight, the standing teeth, the tapering plate, and the water tooth are all made of flat gold and black, and the entwined branch lotus pattern is painted, the outside of the seat column is painted with a ruyi pattern, and the stigma is painted with a back pattern. The colors of the paintings are gorgeous, the inlays are distinct, and the glass is exquisitely clear. It's a rare treasure in the interstitial.

Princess Fuqing took a sip of the mulberry wine in the cup, and her gaze on the interstitial screen condensed: "Yonghe, you even took out the good things at the bottom of the box, and the palace can't be stingy." ”

Princess Fuqing took off the rubellite bracelet with beads and emeralds on her wrist and put it in the tray held by the maid.

"This is the light opened by Master Guangqin of Huangjue Temple, you can take it and play with it."

Although each bead of the eighteen bracelets given by Princess Fuqing is pure and flawless, the most precious thing is that it was consecrated by Master Guangqin himself.

As everyone knows, Master Guangqin is a famous monk of the Daye Dynasty, and now he is eighty-nine years old, and he has long stopped asking about the world.

In addition to the fact that His Majesty can be personally received by Master Guangqin today, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it is even more difficult to ask to see the master.

After Princess Fuqing finished speaking, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly quieted down.

Xie Yanhe covered his mouth and smiled: "The string of beads that His Royal Highness gave to Miss Wu can be used as family heirlooms." In comparison, it seems that I am stingy. ”

"Bijun has thanked Her Royal Highness the princess for the reward, and thanked the county lord for the reward." Wu Bijun quickly came back to her senses after being shocked, her face was full of joy, and even her light and peaceful voice revealed a sense of flying and cheerfulness.

Princess Fuqing hooked her lips and turned her head to talk to Xie Yanhe.

There was a whispered discussion among the women.

Those who came to the banquet today, in addition to the royal family, are the daughters of the families of the three grades and above in the court. Before today, a little-known person like Wu Bijun didn't even have the qualifications to get in front of everyone.

What's more, Wu Bijun came to the banquet as a Jinghua County woman, which shows how unbearable her original background was.

But since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of ladies like Wu Bijun who have won the blue eyes of the superior and once flew on the branches, and the ladies have long been surprised.

What makes this group of daughters secretly sour is that this Wu Bijun is not only appreciated by Princess Fuqing, but also won two extremely precious rewards in a row, that is, they are noble, and their mother's family has a very powerful father and brother, and they have no such treatment in front of Princess Fuqing.

Therefore, many ladies secretly had hot eyes, and even a few people handed over a vicious look in the direction of Wu Bijun, and whispered to the ladies who were good friends with them: "Such a villain who loves to cling to her, greedy for vanity, I am ashamed to be with her." ”

Wu Bijun is not unaware of the hostility of this group of ladies towards her, but the county lord of Yonghe has already given her a reassurance, and in the future, she will be the concubine of the East Palace, and the Wu family can change the family because of this, so beautiful and honorable, there is really no need to worry about this group of naïve and innocent young ladies who don't know the world.

Especially those ladies who regard her as a thorn in their eyes, Wu Bijun is not without a way to deal with them, but she can leave a tolerant and generous image in front of Princess Fuqing and the county lord of Yonghe, so why bother to hurt the jade bottle to kill mice.

Wu Bijun lowered his gaze, and a faint sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

She picked up the flask on the table and poured herself a glass of wine.

The transparent liquor is poured into the glass, and the fragrant smell lingers on the nose.

The wine enters the throat, the taste from the tip of the tongue is very familiar, and the sweet liquor has the sweetness of lychee, which is the favorite lychee brew of Jiangnan women. Wu Bijun couldn't help but drink the wine in the cup.

The county lord of Yonghe is really careful.

Wu Bijun dared to say that the fine wines on other people's food tables must be different, which takes care of everyone's taste.

On the other side, Princess Fuqing was talking affectionately with Xie Yanhe.

"Didn't my father say that he would come to cheer you on today? It's all too late. ”

"Even if Your Majesty comes, you must go to the male guest first." Xie Yanhe laughed lightly and quipped: "I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" ”

"Of course, I'm anxious to see the faces of some people." Princess Fuqing casually named a few names: "These people are secretly friendly with the East Palace, and they came to the banquet today, but they didn't know if they were here to spy on the news." Only Princess Chen, a fool, is in a hurry to be this bird. ”

Princess Fuqing snorted: "Biting dogs don't bark. On the contrary, it is a mad dog like Princess Chen, which is not enough to worry about. ”

"Your Highness, don't be angry." Xie Yanhe's eyes swept Cui Zisu without a trace: the girl had already put away her anger, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and was talking to several familiar ladies.

Seeing this, Xie Yan and Frost Saixue's faces slowly bloomed with a graceful and gorgeous smile like a blooming peony, and she said slowly: "I must wait for the two princesses to finish singing before I can invite Your Majesty over." ”

Princess Fuqing raised her eyebrows: "I listen to what you mean, how can it seem that my father has entered the garden?" ”

"I can't hide anything from Your Highness."

Xie Yan and a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkled, like the ripples of the emerald green lake.

She smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty should be talking to Chu Shizi in the study at this time. ”

"Okay, you're going to keep it a secret!"

Princess Fuqing couldn't help but scratch Xie Yanhe's armpits, and while making a move, she whispered: "I'm here alone with a white face, but you are not in a hurry." Say! Are you secretly watching me laugh at you? ”

Xie Yan and her delicate body trembled, tears poured down, and while she avoided Princess Fuqing's claws, she begged for mercy in a low voice: "Your Highness, just spare me, I don't dare anymore." ”

The two of them laughed together as if no one was around, and they had already attracted the curious and inquiring attention of many ladies.

Princess Fuqing's temples were a little loose, she sat up straight, still unable to understand her hatred, glared at Xie Yanhe fiercely, and threatened: "Next time, I have to make you laugh for half an hour." ”

Xie Yanhe picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears, her long, curly eyelashes were a little tear-stained, like a face carved from mutton fat and white jade, with a delicate beauty.

Xie Yanhe hurriedly said, "Good cousin, you can let me go." Her tactful, sweet voice was as gentle as a warbler's cry, with a faint hoarseness, like a feather brush scratching the tip of a person's heart.

Princess Fuqing only felt that half of her bones were crispy.

She secretly laughed in her heart, since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass. Even if he is wise and martial, he can't escape from his father. With such a fairy-like face, a soft and soft figure, and a delicate voice that is numb to the bones, it is really beautiful and not like a mortal. I don't blame my father's old house for catching fire and burning so fiercely.

It's just that this cousin, Princess Fuqing will not accept it anyway.

One day, Xie Yanhe entered the Middle Palace, and he and she had a layer of mother-daughter status. The word "cousin" makes me feel embarrassed!

"Alright, I'll let you go." Princess Fuqing's heart was racing, she didn't seem to hear Xie Yanhe's title, and she lightly lifted this layer.

Xie Yanhe was just reckless for a while, so he called out this long-lost "cousin". Now seeing Princess Fuqing's indifferent expression, she instantly understood Princess Fuqing's hidden concerns, and couldn't help but feel a sigh in her heart, and went to get the fruit drink on the case.

"Your Highness, would you like to taste this five-colored mash? I think it's much better than fruit. In order to avoid embarrassment, Xie Yanhe chose a safe topic.

When the maid heard this, she brought a new set of cups and poured the five-colored mash into the cups.

"When you say that, I'm really going to have to taste it carefully." Princess Fuqing said with a smile.

"Your Highness, Lord of the County." Suddenly, a very soft voice came into my ears.

Princess Fuqing and Xie Yan went to follow the prestige.

I saw a girl in a peach-colored dress and a flying fairy bun standing in the center of the banquet. Seeing the eyes of the two people looking over, the girl curtled her knees without humility or arrogance.

"Back to His Royal Highness and the county lord, the spring is just right, the courtiers want to go boating on Crescent Lake with the sister of the Liu family, the sister of the Sun family and the sister of the Cui family, can the county lord help us arrange a lotus boat."

It was Du Minyi, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, who spoke.

Although this Miss Du is only a middle-aged person, she has a dignified and beautiful goose egg face, silkworm eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and natural upturned lips, with a temperament that makes people feel like a spring breeze, and she is very pleasing to the old ladies of all families.

Xie Yanhe smiled slightly, and said softly: "Miss Du, there are five boats parked on the Crescent Lake, there are five in total, there are also fishing tackles, and there is also a mother-in-law who knows how to water." If any of you want to play, just go, don't be restrained. ”

Hearing this, many ladies suddenly showed joy.

With Princess Fuqing's golden branches and jade leaves here, many ladies feel constrained, lest they leave a frivolous and jumpy impression in Princess Fuqing's heart. Now that they can leave this place, many people are secretly relieved.

Du Minyi even smiled and bent her knees towards Princess Fuqing and Xie Yanhe: "Thank you Yonghe County Lord." His Royal Highness, the county lord, and the courtiers retired first. ”

"Miss Du, let's go." Princess Fuqing has always had a good impression of Du Minyi, and when she heard this, she said in a kind tone.

With Du Minyi and several ladies taking the lead, the other ladies also gained the courage to confess to Princess Fuqing and Xie Yanhe, and then left the table.

For a while, the girls got up one after another, their colorful clothes fluttered and left gracefully, and most of the banquet was instantly empty, and it was visibly deserted to the naked eye.

Princess Fuqing looked at the food table beside her, which had long been empty, picked her lips, lowered her voice and said to Xie Yanhe: "I don't know what the two imperial sisters have arranged." It's a pity that you and I can only wait here for a result. ”
