Chapter 15: Sleepiness
Another yawn came out, and even tears hung in the corners of his eyes. Sleepiness strikes again and again, and even the noisy environment can't dispel sleepiness.
The nails dug into the flesh again, and the pain of that moment made Li Jiangwei wake up for a short time. This inexplicable sleepiness made her very confused, why did she use surging sleepiness when she never fell asleep at this time?
"You ...... Sleepy? A little girl at the same table rubbed her eyes and asked softly, "I'm so sleepy......"
With that, the little girl yawned again.
Li Jiangwei suppressed her sleepiness and observed the other four people at this table, and everyone had sleepiness on their faces. The little girl who spoke had tilted her head and looked like she was about to fall asleep.
This state is obviously wrong! Li Jiangwei pushed the tea and snacks on the table a little farther away.
The maid of the princess's mansion came over at this time and said to the five of them, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to play." β
Li Jiangwei once again pinched her nails into the flesh of her palm, and after a stirring, she pulled up the little girl who was about to fall asleep.
"Huh?"
"On stage."
The little girl didn't know what was going on, nodded stunned, and followed Li Jiangwei to the stage. The selection of the peony flower god in April with the participation of Ning Yingluo suddenly made the scene boil. Especially the matter of giving the seat to Princess Heshou, which aroused the envy of everyone in the audience. When Ning Yingluo stepped down, she happened to meet Li Jiangwei who was waiting on the side.
This is also the first time Li Jiangwei has seen this Miss Ning family up close, the fiancΓ©e of the former prince.
"March Pear Blossom Flower God, enter!"
As Aunt Qin's voice fell, the five candidates for the March Pear Blossom God entered in turn. Yu Yongyi's eyes lit up, and her body suddenly sat up straight, looking at the woman in an apricot-colored dress in the center.
"How do you three feel about them?"
"I heard that among the candidates for the March Pear Flower God, there is one of the Li family's Shuangshu who is as famous as our Peony Flower God."
"Oh?"
Princess Heshou became interested and asked Ning Yingluo, "Do you recognize her?" β
"The imperial aunt asked Yingluo, but she asked the wrong person. Although they are equally famous, Ying Luo was married to the prince early on, and she didn't get along with the two sisters of An Yuanbo's Mansion for a long time. If you want to ask, you should ask the fourth brother. β
Chu Yongheng's words pointed directly at Yu Yongyi, which made Zhen Yongyi very surprised.
"Why did you throw the talk on me?"
"Who let the fourth brother rob me of the opportunity to go out?" Chu Yongheng laughed twice and said, "Fourth brother should know that I like to walk around." The rare opportunity to go to Fuyang was robbed by the fourth brother, and I have a grudge. β
Chu Yongheng's smile narrowed, and he said, "I heard that the fourth brother and the young lady of An Yuanbo's family are very close. β
"Oh?" Chu Yongrui said: "I don't know these things? β
"The third brother didn't ask, I didn't think to tell you at once."
Chu Yongheng laughed, picked up a piece of tea and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I don't know which girl is the Li family Shuangshu you mentioned?" Princess Heshou asked, "The one on the far right who is dressed in white?" Or is it the one in the middle of the apricot-colored clothes? β
Yu Yongyi asked, "Why does the imperial aunt think it will be these two people?" β
"The white dress fits the subject of pear blossoms, and the girl in the apricot-colored dress." Princess Heshou smiled: "I just think that her figure has a bit of a flower god's taste." What does our peony flower god think? β
"Everything depends on what the eldest princess likes."
"I don't like it when you talk like that."
Princess Heshou summoned Aunt Qin and said, "Just order that girl in apricot clothes to be the goddess of pear blossoms and let her come over." β
"Yes."
After a while, a girl wearing an apricot-colored half-arm and a hundred butterfly silk skirts walked slowly. The apricot-colored half arm is embroidered with all kinds of pear blossoms, and the velvet flowers selected by the flower god are firmly on the bun. The girl's weakness adds a bit of love.
"Sure enough, it's like a pear blossom god." Princess Heshou squinted with a smile, "It really looks like a little flower." β
Princess Heshou beckoned to Li Jiangwei and said, "Come here!" β
Li Jiangwei walked to Princess Heshou and saluted respectfully.
"Uncle Anyuan's Mansion hasn't been out of the girl's house for a long time." After saying that, he hugged Li Jiangwei to his side.
Ning Yingluo on the side saw this scene, although her smile did not decrease, but her hands under her sleeves were already clenched into fists.
This honor should have been hers! How did you give it to that wild girl!
At last year's cherry blossom viewing party, this wild girl should have drowned in the pond!
Drowsiness is still attacking Li Jiangwei, and even if she stands on the stage, it is difficult to fully concentrate. Even when he heard the news that he was selected as the god of pear blossoms, his brain was still confused. After being hugged and sat down by Princess Heshou, he still didn't know his situation. can only obediently let Princess Heshou touch her face, and smile shyly in response.
"I heard the fifth child say just now, you have a good relationship with the fourth child?"
Li Jiangwei tilted her head and looked in the direction where the prince was sitting.
"Yes, the fourth prince has business dealings with the eldest sister."
Li Jiangwei, who was still sleepy, also softened her voice. Li Jiangwei, who was aware of this, secretly pinched herself again.
Princess Heshou didn't mean to let go of Li Jiangwei at all, and hugged her to see the last two sets of flower god candidates. Yu Yongyi frequently looked at Li Jiangwei, for fear that Li Jiangwei would do something that would displease Princess Heshou.
"Since it's still early, let's give those little girls a chance. Draw lots to the stage and show the posture of the god of flowers. β
"Yes."
Aunt Qin got the order, so she went down to prepare. At this moment, Ning Yingluo proposed: "Take advantage of the time when the girls are preparing for their talents." Why don't the two of us go on stage first? β
"That's a great idea!" Chu Yongheng responded and said: "Just let us open our eyes." β
"The eye-opening statement really torments us."
Li Jiangwei frowned puzzled, "So, Miss Yingluo is ready for talent?" β
"The little woman is rough and rhythmic, and she is willing to present a song for the eldest princess."
After Princess Heshou admired, she asked, "It's Yaoqin that I learned." β
"Exactly."
"I have heard that your father played the piano very well. Since you say that, I'm looking forward to it. Aunt Qin will fetch the piano for you in a while, and I won't set any theme, you can choose a song yourself. β
"Yes."
Before Ning Yingluo got up and left, she glanced at Li Jiangwei meaningfully.
"She's got her talent set. Which do you choose? β
Li Jiangwei, who didn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, really couldn't remember what talent she had for a while, so she couldn't go up and recite a poem......
Li Jiangwei suddenly remembered a folk song she learned in a plot mission before. The lyrics and songs are quaint, and they are more suitable for singing in the Gong Dynasty than other pop songs.
What is the full version of the lyrics?
Drowsiness came again......
