Chapter 33: The Pavilion Narrative
After the three of them paid their respects, King Zhao smiled and said: "Lord Zhou, you actually hide such a beautiful daughter, I have only seen your eldest daughter with a beautiful face and moon appearance on weekdays, and it turns out that the younger daughter is three points more beautiful than the eldest daughter." ”
It is rare for King Zhao to praise others, but Zhou Jingyang said indifferently: "Don't dare, the little girl looks ugly, and I don't dare to praise King Zhao like this." ”
Xiao Yuning whispered to the wind: "It seems that all the beauties in the city are here this time, and Yiting is going to be dazzling this time." ”
The wind looked towards Xiao Yat-ting, but saw that Xiao Yat-ting didn't seem to see the person in front of him, only lowered his eyelids slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Next, a few more officials led their families to visit, because there was Miss Zhuyu of the Zhou family in front, and then looked at other young ladies, Feng Qingxu felt boring.
The banquet started soon, and Xiao Yuning was always by Feng Qingxu's side, but there were still many people watching Feng Qingxu whispering. Feng Qingxu gradually got used to the eyes of others, and actually calmed down, but still didn't like the excitement of the banquet very much, watching others staggering, pushing the glass and changing the lamp, she also tasted the wine in the cup, but felt that the entrance was spicy, far less mellow than the autumn dew, so she threw the wine glass in disgust, holding her chin and starting.
However, not long after, a maid from the palace came with a pot of wine and said respectfully: "Princess, the princess is afraid that you will not be used to drinking the spirits of the palace, so she specially asked the slave maid to prepare autumn dew and invite the princess to taste it." ”
Only then did Feng Qingxu smile and drink happily.
Soon, a pot of wine was at the bottom, and the face of the breeze gradually turned red, she knew that Qiu Lubai had more stamina, so she wanted to go out to breathe, and saw that Xiao Yuning was talking with King Zhao very happily, so she quietly left the banquet with Jin Se and went to a cool place outside.
After walking for a long time, the wind gradually felt a cool breath, and when I turned the corridor, a small pavilion was hidden by a verdant pine and cypress, which could not be detected without looking closely.
Feng Qingxu took Jin Se to the pavilion and said with emotion: "It would be nice if there was a lotus pond here." ”
Jin Se said with a smile: "Not everyone loves lotus flowers as much as you are, master, according to the temperament of Prince Zhao, I am afraid that I prefer this evergreen pine and cypress!" ”
The wind was light and no longer spoken, and under the cool breeze, I couldn't help but lie on the stone table with a little drunkenness and nap, which was very comfortable for a while.
I don't know how long I was lying on my stomach in the breeze, and I faintly heard someone chuckling: "Sleep here, and I'm not afraid of catching a cold......"
"Your Highness......" Jin Se seemed to scream, but suddenly fell silent.
There was a rustling sound in his ears, and then Feng Qingxu felt something gently and softly covering him, but he didn't bother to open his eyes, just thinking it was Xiao Yuning.
The faint aroma of herbs spreads on the tip of the nose, which is very good, and the familiar smell makes Feng Qingxu feel more comfortable in the drunkenness......
"Master......" the wind murmured.
Gradually, the wind felt something strange, as if someone was staring at her, and the surroundings were quiet, as if something was constantly approaching her.
Feng Qingxu subconsciously came to his senses and opened his eyes suddenly.
A pair of slender hands appeared in front of her eyes, with a faint smell of herbs, almost touching her face.
Feng Qingxu sat up straight, looking ahead vigilantly, his eyes just met a pair of moist eyes.
Feng Qingxu was stunned for a moment, and quickly began to hold her breath to feel whether the Gu worms in her body were moving, but fortunately, she waited for a long time, and she didn't see the Gu worms restless.
Xiao Yiting looked at himself motionlessly when he saw the wind, only to feel that those dark and bottomless eyes seemed to have a hot heat, which made him dare not look directly.
Xiao Yiting withdrew his hand and put it to his lips, coughed lightly, and said, "Why does the crown princess sleep here, don't catch a cold." ”
Feng Qingxu glanced at his hand casually and asked, "What about Jinse?" ”
"I'll ask her to bring a bowl of decanting soup." Xiao Yat-ting's face had a suspicious crimson.
Feng Qingxu's heart instantly lifted, he really wanted to take medicine, but her face didn't move, she just thanked her.
Jin Se had not yet returned, and the atmosphere in the pavilion was quite strange, and the two of them had different thoughts, and neither of them spoke anymore.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps gradually approached, and the sound of talking was also heard.
"It's incredible that the crown princess is really as congenital as the legend says, and she is as short as an eight-year-old child."
As soon as Xiao Yiting heard this, he hurriedly looked at the wind and light, but saw that her face was expressionless, and she couldn't see her joy and anger, and she didn't feel a little sad in her heart.
But Feng Qingxu didn't care much, although she lived in the East Palace, but she had vaguely heard a lot of people talk about it, but her heart did not fluctuate much.
The two men in the corridor did not notice that there was anyone nearby, but still whispered.
"Sister Bizhu, don't say such things again, it's terrible for others to hear it." A thin voice said.
"Sister Ruoyan, you are too careful, and there is no one here, what are you afraid of."
Feng Qingxu has heard that these two people are Shen Bizhu, the second lady of the Qing family of Guanglu Temple, and Xu Ruoyan, the third lady of the Qing family of Dali Temple, at the banquet.
only listened to Xu Ruoyan and said: "The crown princess is born with a disease, and it must be all kinds of pain, and it is not good for us to talk about it behind our backs." ”
Shen Bizhu sighed and said, "I just pity our Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I don't know how much pain it should be in front of a small crown princess all day long." ”
Xu Ruoyan said: "But the crown princess is affectionate and righteous, and she was willing to almost lose her life to save the prince, isn't such a woman worthy of being cherished?" ”
Shen Bizhu was also an innocent girl, and when she heard this, she agreed: "This is also true, I am the most life-sparing, if I want to sacrifice my life to save others, I can't do it." ”
Xu Ruoyan said with a smile: "When my sister has a husband, she must be willing to give up her life." ”
Shen Bizhu seemed a little embarrassed, and said: "I don't have a husband, but I heard that Sister Ruoyan is going to have a husband, today I saw that Mrs. Lin and Princess Zhao seemed to have something in conversation, how can my sister explain?" ”
Xu Ruoyan stomped her feet and said, "My sister is used to making fun of me." ”
Hearing this, the wind was light and looked at Xiao Yat-ting, who obviously didn't know the situation and looked dazed. Feng Qingxu recalled Xu Ruoyan's appearance, she is indeed a first-class beauty, and she is rare to have a compassionate heart, but she is very compatible with Xiao Yating of Zhilan Yushu.
Xiao Yiting came back to his senses but felt extremely embarrassed, and couldn't help but look away from the wind and lightness.
Shen Bizhu continued: "What is my sister shy, with my sister's beauty, I will definitely be able to capture the heart of the son." ”
Xu Ruoyan was extremely shy: "My sister also saw me today, that Zhou Chanjuan, the daughter of Lord Zhou, is dignified and elegant, and she is glamorous, where can the son of the world look at me?" ”
