Chapter 9: See You at the Flower Banquet (1)
Every time the flowers are in a good season, the annual flower-viewing banquet comes as scheduled, and the main home is Li Guifei, who is now in charge of the back seal.
Although everyone in the world is amazed by Emperor Zhaoren's love for his wife, nine out of ten concubines in the harem resemble the successive Qiao family, just like the current concubine.
Qiao Mei raised his eyes and glanced at her, she was indeed bright, and her gestures were dignified. When she saw the face with a portrait of her aunt, she couldn't help but retract her gaze, and her heart sneered, and she had a cold love for Emperor Zhaoren.
My aunt has been dead for nearly ten years, but in the past ten years, he has not still accepted three palaces and six courtyards and concubines?
Looking at this circle of delicate ladies, Concubine Li smiled and motioned to the palace maid beside her to bring plum wine for flower appreciation.
"You don't have to be formal, just sit down."
Qiao Mei saluted with the people around him and said, "Yes." β
Concubine Li Guifei glanced around at them again, paused her gaze on Qiao Mei, and said with a smile: "Miss Qiao Si's body is very good?" β
In an instant, the eyes of all the delicate flowers around her shot at her.
Qiao Mei took a calm posture, and only said, "Lao Niangniang is worried, the cold of the courtiers has long been cured." β
Someone on the side shouted: "Niangniang, hurry up and solve the question, this year's drumming order is not good for some people." β
The girl who spoke was named Li Qianyue, she had a round face and apricot eyes, her facial features were upright, the flying bun on her head, the six treasures she wore and the gold-carved butterfly she wore wore a flower cloud satin skirt, all of which followed the trend of the capital.
As soon as she spoke, the girl next to her frowned, a little impatient. And Li Guifei, who was above, couldn't help but stiffen her face.
Li Guifei is a peasant girl, a few years ago, the local wilderness, fled to the capital, because of the appearance of the same as a little similar, was brought back to the palace by Emperor Zhaoren, who was out of the palace at that time, and was honored and favored.
Because Li Guifei's family all starved to death in the famine, Emperor Zhaoren in order to show his favor, he named Li Guifei's cousin as an uncle and gave him a plaque of Xunyang Bofu.
And Li Qianyue is the eldest girl in Xunyang Bo's mansion and Li Guifei's cousin and niece. It's just that someone in the family once sealed the concubine, and she followed it. But in the end, she came from a peasant family, and she couldn't see the stage, and she repeatedly made a fool of herself in some palace banquets, which made some nobles look down on her very much.
It's okay if that's the case, but it's a restless one, relying on his aunt's unique grace in the harem, and his mouth is very strong, and now the girls in the capital are taking a detour when they see her.
At this time, Concubine Li Guifei was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes and fainted, she is now favored by Emperor Zhaoren, and she has gained a firm foothold in the palace, but she is often secretly ridiculed by other concubines in the palace for having a niece with vulgar manners! And now in such a crowd, he dares to provoke many nobles at once!
"Qianyue! Licentious! Li Guifei finally stabilized her demeanor and shouted loudly.
Li Qianyue turned her head unconvinced and glared at Qiao Mei fiercely.
Qiao Mei hid the look in her eyes, Li Qianyue in her previous life was the same, she was reckless and stupid, and after offending many people, she was still able to marry very well because of a Li Guifei, and Li Qianyue lived a smooth life before she died.
Concubine Li finally softened her face, and she continued to smile: "Today's banquet of a hundred flowers, according to the old practice, this year is still a wine order. β
The wine order is divided into Yaling and general order, today's line is the flower branch order in Yaling, the method of the order is to first push one person as the commander, or out of the poem, or out of the pair, the other people according to the meaning of the first order to continue the order, the continuation must be consistent in content or form, otherwise according to the provisions of the drink.
The female official next to Concubine Li opened the post, revealing a "green" word.
As a commander, the female official took the lead in saying: "When the swallow flies, the green water surrounds it." β
Then there was a palace maid behind the screen who began to beat the drum to cheer up, the first one was Qiao Mei, she pondered slightly and said: "The green wind comes, and the willow eyes spring continues." β
The female officer nodded slightly, and her gaze paused for a moment on Qiao Mei.
Li Qianyue snorted.
After a few turns of the drum, the second person answered: "The good wind goes south, and Qin Sang has low green branches." β
Soon arrived at Li Qianyue, some time ago she had been making up poems at home, in order to raise her eyebrows at this flower banquet. She quickly said: "When the grass is green, the king and grandson can return." β
It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, the air was a little still.
As we all know, among the several princes, only the crown prince is the one who leads half of the military power, fights in the south and the north, and is often not in the capital. But Li Qianyue put this careful thinking on poetry, as if she was afraid that others would not know.
Qiao Mei also lowered her head and pursed her lips, now she understands that this Li girl is dissatisfied with her, Xu is because she loves the prince, and she has no intention of being a princess in her previous life, so Li Qianyue did not take her to heart.
In silence, Concubine Li got up suddenly, stepped forward and gave Li Qianyue a loud palm, "Bastard thing!" β
"That's how this taught you?!" She hated Qiao Xinran, hated that she would take away the hearts of the living people even more if she died, but she hated the person in the East Palace even more, as long as he lived, the emperor would not set his eyes on her Rong Yin! But she never expected that her good niece would fall in love with the prince! Li Guifei was so angry that she had a splitting headache.
Li Qianyue fell to the ground suddenly, the red gold hairpin on her head rolled down, she raised her head in embarrassment, looked at Li Guifei blankly, her thoughts flipped and she suddenly became in a trance, and hurriedly knelt forward, she hurriedly said: "Auntie, Qianyue didn't, Qianyue didn't mean that...... This poem, this poem is ......"
Her voice was cut short abruptly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrivedβ"
Everyone quickly took their eyes off Li Qianyue, and the girls present were either shy or bold, and the objects were all the people who walked slowly not far away.
When Xie Huaijin paced over, he only bowed slightly at Li Guifei, and Li Guifei's angry expression instantly extinguished, and she set off a smirk: "Why is the prince here?" She naturally knew that the emperor wanted the fourth lady of the Qiao family to marry the crown prince, but how could she not stop the things that could make Xie Huaijin benefit?
