Chapter 411: Plum Palace Banquet
On a cold day, snow plums are the most prosperous.
The Queen Mother looked at the plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden, the fragrance was light and elegant, and the fragrance was also brought to the flowers, the proud bones hung high on the branches, it was very pleasant, and the heart was very fond of it, and the special banquet was here, and the concubines and the luxurious women of the capital were invited to gather here, and they played with poetry and flowers, and said that "the plum palace banquet" was called.
The invitations came from the palace and were sent to the backyards of the mansions of the major officials, causing a small fluctuation.
Because the seats in the water pavilion next to the imperial garden are limited, the invitations to fly to the various mansions are also limited.
What's more, the Queen Mother Xu is deep in the palace, very boring, and one more "Douhua" is a colorful head, which is even more interesting.
The so-called "fighting flowers" is to let the participants prepare their own colorful and strange flower branches, or after the opening of the garden on the day of the banquet, they can choose to break the branches in the imperial garden to make a beautiful flower arrangement.
Whether or not to participate in the banquet is voluntarily chosen by the participants, and the winner is finally decided by the banquet organizers in public, and the winner can be rewarded.
Li Qinying, who received the invitation, went to the Furong Palace, and sure enough, she saw Chu Yuxi looking at the invitation in her hand with a headache and sighing, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
"Sister, do we want to participate?" Li Qinying was a little at a loss, it didn't matter if she participated or not, it just looked at what Chu Yuxi thought.
With a sigh, Chu Yuxi called her to sit down, very helpless, "You can participate in it with your ingenuity, as for my clumsy craft, I want to give up, or just feel free." ”
But it is not something that can be given up at will, except for pollen allergies, physical discomfort and the like, generally the participants will participate, which is the respect and cherishment of the banquet hosts.
However, Chu Yu regrets that she really doesn't know how to do flowers, and she doesn't have that natural artistic cell, and now her heart is desolate and helpless, and some thoughts of self-abandonment have vaguely flashed.
As soon as the two of them combined, they went in to break the branches when the garden opened on the day of the banquet, Li Qinying played well, Chu Yuxi just got it, she was very self-aware of those things that she barely came, and she didn't force it.
Chu Yuxi didn't have anything special to want for that colorful head, but she vaguely felt that it might be useful for Li Qinying, so she asked her to prepare carefully.
Time flies, and the white horse flies.
On the day of the banquet, the two washed up early, and when they arrived in the imperial garden, they saw that there were already many people, including concubines and noble women, who were talking to each other.
Also, this seemingly boring flower-viewing feast is, for some, just another form of Vanity Fair.
Greeting lightly all the way, Chu Yuxi followed Li Guiren.
To be honest, she couldn't tell which branches were good and which snow plums were good. These are all flowers and plants carefully served by the royal gardening, and if she is an outsider, she is naturally very delicate and wonderful, and I don't know what they are choosing.
Li Guiren observed carefully as he walked, and turned around, "Sister, I have a general idea of the design, I'll help you choose some." ”
"Well, you can bundle it into a bunch." Chu Yuxi thought hard for a long time, but he still didn't force himself, waved his hand and broke a few branches at will, and wound the plum blossom branches into a flower and bird according to the TV program he had watched in his previous life, and held it in his hand at will.
Li Guiren looked at the flowers and birds that were folded at will with just a cup of tea, "This is very exquisite, what is the meaning of this flower art sister?"
But Chu Yuxi smiled indifferently, "Don't open your eyes and talk nonsense, I just folded it into a lump, it doesn't look so perfunctory, if it means something, you reminded me, I'll make it up in a while, don't be stunned, let's go, I'll accompany you to do your flower arrangement." "Fish fish
She really has no intention of doing floral art, but she can't be too perfunctory and leave a mistake for the Queen Mother. Although it will not make it unpleasant, it is a little new, and it is bright.
Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded to move, Li Qinying couldn't give up crying and laughing, turned her head and picked plum branches with Chu Yuxi while walking, and finally turned around the kitchen again to take the salt and make two flower arrangements.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the two walked to their own places in the water pavilion and sat and chatted.
Everyone in place also looked around to find acquaintances to chat and pass the time, waiting for the Queen Mother to come.
Teasing Li Qinying's good floral arrangement, Chu Yuxi joked, "Why do you still make two, double protection?" Are you determined to get it? ”
Li Qinying, who was ridiculed, was not annoyed, and pointed to the concise but very imposing flower art and smiled, "One is given away later, I will find a chance to send someone back in a while, I named it Aoxue Hanmei, which means that plum blossoms stand proudly in the snow, not afraid of cold and cold, arrogant bones can not be bullied with perseverance quality, salt plum send, is the meaning of entrusting heavy responsibility."
Hearing her say this, Chu Yuxi became a little interested in the originally hopeless Douhua, "What about this plum blossom that looks like a big boat sprinkled with salt?" ”
"This is called a banquet, let's do it, let's talk about it later." Li Guiren looked at the crowd and straightened up slightly, and pulled Chu Yuxi to salute with the women.
Chu Yuxi saw that the Queen Mother had arrived with the support of everyone, and she was very graceful and luxurious, as if she had been carefully dressed up, and her complexion was very good.
Seeing that everyone was very satisfied, he said a few words and let people preside over the banquet.
Inexplicably feeling stared at, Chu Yuxi looked back, there was no abnormality behind him, and he simply shrugged his shoulders slightly and watched everyone show their floral arrangements in turn.
Looking at the delicate and bizarre floral arrangements, the delicately dressed noblewomen, the decent and gentle smiles and explanations, and at the beginning they were still very interested, Chu Yuxi slowly became less interested, as if it was just like that, everyone had the same posture, as if they were copied and pasted.
Also watching with her, there is another person in front of the banquet, Wei Jiajia, the second daughter of Prime Minister Wei Cheng, unlike her, this Wei Jiajia looks more and more carefully, but it is not flowers that she sees, but people.
Chu Yuxi didn't feel wrong, there were indeed people looking at the women, and it was also Wei Yiyi.
She knew that many unmarried women would come here, so when she received the invitation to the banquet, she made up her mind to find the woman who made Chu Yulin care about it and see what kind of person she was.
has always been above the top and arrogant, so she doesn't want to lose to someone she has never seen, so she has been scanning around the banquet, and she didn't find anything abnormal, so she carefully stared at the link of douhua.
Rao stared around like this, watching those boring women show off their floral arrangements with the Queen Mother, saying auspicious words and meanings, and didn't find anyone worthy of Chu Yulin, let alone himself.
She is the daughter of Prime Minister Wei, not to mention the identity of those women, just to talk about the appearance of those women and the ability to speak skillfully, she is so arrogant that she can't help but roll her eyes a little and comment on them.
The daughter of the waiter on the stage, colorful like the clothes that the dye of the layout room knocked over on the ground, flowery and charming.
The daughter of the captain just now, who was so bland and tasteless, thought she was fresh and cold, but in fact she looked like a white hen.
And the daughter of the Shaofu, who is soft and willowy, and is not afraid of twisting her waist when she walks.
What it was, she didn't bother to look at it more.
No matter how you look at these vulgar fans, I also think that the only woman who can make Chu Yulin fall in love and be worthy of him is herself!
