Chapter 50: Blossom Viewing Party
This cherry blossom viewing party is at the end of the month, and it happens that the autumn tiger has passed, which is the most comfortable time. The chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are slowly blooming, and it looks like an autumn day.
The location of the flower viewing party was chosen in the chrysanthemum forest of the Imperial Garden, and Concubine Xi shot the party in that place in order to meet the occasion.
When Yue Li arrived, the young ladies of the families had already arrived, and across from them sat a young man who was looking at each other, and Ye Qin was among them. When Yue Li came, everyone stood up and bowed to her, "See Your Highness." ”
The ladies sat behind the curtain and chattered to each other, not knowing whether they were discussing Yue Li or saying that the shopkeeper was to their liking. The white gauze curtain fluttered in the wind, like smoke rising from the sky, lined with various chrysanthemums all over the yard, light and dreamy.
"Excuse me." Yue Li, who has always been in no shape, can be regarded as putting up the shelves of the princess's hall today. She looked around, and this Bai Yiyan was indeed arranged in the most conspicuous position by Concubine Xi, and she was also the closest to Ye Qin.
Yue Li sat there and saw Bai Yiyan, who was dressed very exquisitely today, she sat there reservedly, glancing at Ye Qin from time to time. But since Yue Li came, Ye Qin's eyes were like sticking to him, where did he care about the other people around him.
"Concubine Xi is married." Yue Li didn't sit hot when she came, and the eunuch shouted that Concubine Xi was coming. She was dressed in a crimson robe embroidered with large peonies, and she looked so beautiful that she could burn people's eyes. With the luxurious hairpin ring on her head, she looked simply brilliant, making the men sitting on the other side look straight.
"See the mother." The buttocks of the ladies and sons are not hot.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this chrysanthemum has just bloomed. It's not interesting to look at it yourself, I think it's better to be happy alone than to be happy together, so I called everyone to enjoy the flowers and the moon together, so that everyone can get to know each other. Concubine Xi smiled brightly, and the whole person pressed the women except Yue Li a little dull.
"It just so happens that this Miss Bai is here today, so everyone should be the usual tea party, don't be too restrained."
Speaking of this, everyone said to Concubine Xi together, "Thank you, Niangniang." ”
Yue Li pursed her mouth, this Xi Guifei is using Bai Yiyan as a target, and she was specially brought up, it is strange that these official ladies don't eat this little white flower.
"Then the cherry blossom viewing party begins." Concubine Xi sat there dignifiedly, her tone was very brisk.
Although Concubine Xi said that there is no need to be restrained, who will listen? No official lady can give up this opportunity to show herself.
The first to play was the prime minister's daughter, Yao Zhenzhen, who did not look at the delicate posture of other young ladies, but with a heroic spirit. "Niangniang is not talented, give Niangniang a sword dance here."
"Okay, okay." Concubine Xi clapped her hands and watched the woman in front of her dance, but her mind drifted to Prime Minister Yao Cheng, who was far away in the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking about whether he could be used for himself.
Yue Li was eating pastries with a blank face, dancing well, it seemed that Yao Zhenzhen had a foundation in it. After a dance, Yao Zhenzhen gave a salute and went down, with the arrogance unique to a martial arts woman.
The other official ladies all came up one by one to show their talents, and only Bai Yiyan was the finale.
Yue Li came to the momentum, all the official ladies just now were not inferior, she wanted to see what Bai Yiyan had to overpower these young ladies.
Bai Yiyan came prepared this time, how could she let her laugh, she saluted: "Yiyan grew up in Cangzhou City since she was a child, so let's dance a dance in Cangzhou City." ”
After finishing speaking, she had already set up her posture, the music sounded, Bai Yiyan danced to the rough music of Cangzhou, and there was no sense of disobedience at all, she was like a butterfly, fascinating everyone's eyes.
Yes, Yue Li nodded, this dance looks simple and easy to dance, but without ten years of dancing skills, jumping out is no different from dancing gods. Bai Yiyan jumped and looked at Ye Qin, and the audience began to whisper, as if laughing at Bai Yiyan's inadequacy.
Bai Yiyan was not affected, but danced more energetically, and after dancing, she stood there and finally glanced at Ye Qin deeply, and turned her head to look at Xi Guifei, her eyes were full of pride and pride.
Concubine Xi just wanted Bai Yiyan to go down, but Yue Li could let her go so easily.
"Miss Bai's dancing is really good." Yue Li raised her eyebrows and said to Bai Yiyan, Bai Yiyan didn't know this tone, last time in Jing'an Palace, Yue Li used this tone to talk to her, but she was half dead by Jinshi, and now it is this tone again, she knows that she is going to be unlucky again.
Yue Li looked at Bai Yiyan's face slowly turning blue, and she was satisfied, "Miss Bai, I have seen this dance for a long time, it is as beautiful as Luo Shen by the river, but why do you look at us Lord Ye from time to time when you dance." ”
Ye Qin was mentioned by Yue Li, and he was stunned for a moment.
Princess Suphur Moon is known as a domineering princess, so when Yue Li targeted Bai Yiyan here, no one was surprised.
Bai Yiyan looked at the snickering around her, and her heart became even more uncomfortable, she looked at Xi Guifei as if asking for help.
Concubine Xi still needs Bai Yiyan now, how can she let Yue Li humiliate her, so she played a round: "Miss Bai, go down first, this Princess Suyue spoke a little rushed, but she didn't mean to mock you." ”
Seeing that the most favored concubine at the moment was not afraid of offending Princess Suyue and wanted to help Bai Yiyan, the people around were even more surprised, could it be that Concubine Xi was competing with the princess?
Yue Li didn't want to confront Concubine Xi in front of so many people, she took a lazy sip of tea, "Then go down." ”
It's easy to wait until the ladies have finished performing their talents, Yue Li looked at the tulle and felt a little depressed, not because of the yarn, but because Concubine Xi was beside her.
She casually made an excuse and prepared to go to the lake to sit for a while to breathe.
But as soon as I arrived at the lake, I saw two official ladies chattering there, and I didn't know what they were talking about. Yue Li motioned to Panxiang not to speak, and she picked up her toes and secretly approached, wanting to gossip.
"Look at that straw bale princess, I don't know what to call him for? Didn't you raise a bunch of noodles? Why do you still want to attack these sons in the capital? ”
"Who called him His Majesty's favorite daughter?"
"If we hadn't had the wrong baby, huh."
The two official ladies were indignant there, Yue Li, who listened to it, just wanted to laugh, she knew that she was notorious, but it turned out that the reason for her infamy was the death of drought and waterlogging.
These two people are not afraid of being listened to and talked about badly, but now some parties have listened to the corner. Pan Xiang also heard what these two people said, her face turned red with anger, and she rushed out without waiting for Yue Li to go up to stop her.
"What are you talking about?"
The two young ladies recognized Panxiang as Yue Li's palace maid, and their faces were very frightened, but they were all caught, and they could only stammer, "I didn't say anything." ”
Yue Li raised her forehead, since Panxiang has come out, it is a little inappropriate for her to squat and listen to it again. She got up and said, "I've been listening to it for a long time, so don't deny it." ”
The two young ladies were even more frightened when they saw the princess come out in person, and their faces were like gold paper, and the two trembled.
"Straw Bale Princess, huh?" Yue Li felt that this adjective was quite appropriate.
The two official ladies immediately knelt down in front of him in fright: "Your Highness spares your life, I didn't mean to."
"Don't worry, I won't punish you, after all, the straw bale princess is a fact, but remember to hide it when you say bad things in the future, don't let people listen to the corner." Yue Li's attitude seemed unconcerned.
When the two young ladies heard this, they knew that they were fine, and they dared to stay longer, so they got up and left in a trembling hurry.
Pan Xiang's little face flushed with anger, "Princess, you!" ”
Yue Li waved his hand to indicate that it was no big deal.
"Aren't you angry, Your Highness, when they say that to you?"
"Why am I angry? What they say is true! ”
