Duanmujun wore a begonia red peony pattern rolling gold line makeup gown, below is a pink long skirt, the skirt blooms with lifelike begonia flowers, the soft flowers swaying with her walking, the petals tremble slightly, flashing golden light in the sun, gorgeous and colorful.
At a glance, it looks like a begonia flower climbing up along her skirt, blooming, vibrant, a little enchanting in the beauty, and a little playful in the noble.
The girls could barely blink, staring at Duanmu's skirt with burning eyes, until she entered the hall with her skirt in it.
Soon, a sharp-eyed girl discovered that the begonia flowers on Duanmu's skirt were made of light yarn with gold threads, no wonder these begonia flowers looked as if they were glowing in the sun.
The girls discussed Duanmu's skirt one after another, and some people remembered the embroidered "step-by-step" skirt at the Duanmu and Lu ceremony, and compared the two with great interest.
In contrast, the "step-by-step flower" skirt is embroidered with large red peonies, which is more gorgeous, and this "begonia" skirt is more dusty and smart.
The former is bright and dazzling in the ceremony, but when you go out to a banquet, I am afraid it is easy to dominate, while the latter is quite suitable for daily wear.
Thinking about it, many girls were also a little moved, and their eyes were shining.
Only Geng Tinglian's eyes did not have the slightest look of surprise, and she was shocked in her heart, and her first reaction was, where did Duanmujun find a skirt to replace it temporarily?!
Duanmujun and Duanmufei walked up to the queen in the admiring eyes of everyone, and saluted in unison: "Queen Mother, please forgive the courtiers for being late." ”
The queen smiled slightly, didn't care, and praised: "Ah Jun, your skirt is unique." ”
"Queen Mother, this is the dress I changed." Duanmu said with a smile, "Just now, my sister's skirt was accidentally soiled by the little sister of the Geng family, just as the flower viewing banquet was about to start, and the time was tight, my sister didn't have time to change into a new skirt, so I had an idea and used my yarn to make some silk flowers for my sister and sew them on the skirt." ”
Duanmu raised his delicate chin, his eyes were shining, and he looked proud.
As soon as she said this, many people glanced at Geng Yuanniang, who was eating snacks next to Geng Tinglian, but they didn't care, after all, Geng Yuanniang was just a four-year-old girl.
The queen looked at Duanmu Fei's ostentatious little appearance, couldn't help but smile, turned her head to Duanmu Guifei on her right and smiled: "Guifei, this niece of your family is really ingenious!" ”
Duanmu Guifei was also not modest, and said with sympathy: "Sister Scarlet is indeed ingenious, the hundred birds and phoenix skirt she painted for Han Xing last time even the concubine looked chic and amazing. ”
Duanmu Fei thanked Duanmu Guifei for her compliment, and went back to his seat with Duanmujun.
He Shi on the side looked a little subtle, and finally only whispered: "Next time this kind of thing happens, I should send someone to inform me." "It makes her worry about them in vain.
Duanmujun responded casually, and drank tea by himself.
Geng Tinglian, who was not far away, stared at Duanmujun from beginning to end, her eyes never looked away, and her heart seemed to be like a storm rolling up, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
She took great pains to plan, and did not hesitate to coax Yuan Niang to make a move on Duanmujun, she wanted to make Duanmujun lose face in public, but now she is self-defeating and makes her appear in the limelight at the flower viewing banquet!
Geng Tinglian bit her lower lip unwillingly, almost crushing the teacup in her hand, and the raised green tendons on the back of her white hand were particularly dazzling.
At this time, there was a sharp shout from the waiter outside: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Everyone in the hall hurriedly stood up in unison, bowed their heads, and greeted the holy car.
The emperor led a few maids to cross the high threshold and walked straight towards the empress in front of him.
Duanmujun knew that the skirt on her body was really chic, and for fear of extraneous branches, she cautiously hid herself behind He's back, and lowered her head a little more.
It wasn't until the emperor walked by He's side without squinting that she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the corner of her eye, just in time to see Cen Yin walking behind the emperor unhurriedly, Cen Yin also happened to glance at her, and the eyes of the two intersected in mid-air for a moment.
Duanmu Jun intuitively smiled at him and said hello.
Cen Yin's steps seemed to slow down for a moment, and then he continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
The emperor and empress sat down on the throne above, and everyone saluted the emperor and queen again in unison, and shouted long live.
Looking down at the people below, the emperor was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Let's all get up and sit down." Today's rare flower feast, everyone don't be restrained, enjoy yourself, so as to live up to this good spring. ”
After everyone thanked the emperor, they sat down again.
The queen smiled and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, today the concubine put a jade flower in the Qichun Garden, and whoever finds this jade flower is the leader today." The concubine saw that the leader had already decided. ”
The others in the hall did not know what kind of flowers the queen had placed in the garden, and they looked at each other for a moment to see who the leader was.
Duanmu Fei stood up directly, and for a while, everyone's eyes fell on her again, and soon someone noticed the begonia flower made of red jade that she wore between her sideburns, and suddenly realized.
Duanmu Fei raised his eyes to look at the emperor and queen, and after blessing him, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, it was the courtiers who 'found' this 'begonia flower'." ”
Duanmu Fei cheekily snatched the credit of Duanmu Fei, she couldn't let her sister be remembered by the emperor.
Not far away, Geng Tinglian looked at Duanmu Fei with a more complicated gaze, and became more and more disdainful of her. Others don't know, but she knows best, this "flower" was clearly found by Duanmu Fei and Cen Yin together, but this Duanmu Fei can brazenly rob her sister's honor, so it seems that Duanmu Jun's skirt is really changed by Duanmu Fei?!
These two sisters are really hopeless, the elder sister will always blindly back down and spoil her younger sister, and the younger sister has to inch in and be arrogant.
If it weren't for his brother being injured, how could such a person be worthy of marrying into the Geng family?!
Geng Tinglian took a deep breath, gradually calmed down, a disdainful smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth, and secretly said to herself: This time it won't work, there will be a next time!
The emperor above looked at Duanmu Fei and let out a bright laugh, and said with a smile: "Little girl of the Duanmu family, since you are the leader today, then I want to reward you well." What could you want? ”
Duanmu Fei was also not polite, and directly asked: "Your Majesty, can you reward the courtiers with more Chengxin paper?" ”
The emperor thought that the little girl's family would probably ask for some jewelry materials, but he didn't expect this girl to beg for paper like a nerd, laughed again, and said, "Your grandfather still doesn't give you paper?" When I go back, I have to talk about him! How about you reward you with ten boxes of Chengxin paper?! But don't waste it when you take it back! ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the words of the courtiers will definitely be worthy of this clear paper." Duanmu Fei boasted unashamedly, causing the emperor to laugh more than once.
The emperor vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard the Taifu mention that this girl's handwriting was good, and he sighed in his heart: Don't say anything else about this Duanmu Xian, the granddaughter is a good teacher.
After Duanmu Xie En sat down, the queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines just let these sons and girls go to the garden to make hairpins, so why just take the hairpin flowers as the theme and let them fight flowers and talents, how about it be lively?" ”
The emperor also felt a little interesting when he heard this, and stroked his palm and echoed: "Empress, your idea is somewhat interesting. ”
"Your Majesty, then it's up to the ministers to throw bricks and lead the jade." Jun Ran was the first to stand up, eager to try.
Jun Ran directly opened with a sword dance, he is a son of a military general, a sword dance, he is at ease, the silver glittering long sword is wielding wantonly in his palm, sometimes turning, sometimes stabbing out, sometimes swinging...... Fluttering like a frightening dragon, graceful like a dragon, especially the peach blossom of his hairpin fluttering in the air with the tip of his sword, it can be described as a combination of rigidity and softness.
Finally, a cold light flashed, and the petals of the peach blossom split apart after that sword, and fell down like a rain of flowers, attracting a round of warm applause.
Even the girls were so glad that they couldn't stop clapping and praising it.
Jun Ran took the sword, then returned the sword to a brocade guard, and after saluting the emperor and queen, he sat down.
Duanmu Guifei covered her mouth and commented with a smile: "Jun Shizi's sword dance is really exciting, but it's a pity that it shouldn't happen." ”
Many people around were thoughtful, and Han Xing nodded with affection: "Mother, what you said is true." Where is Jun Ran's 'flower appreciation', it's almost the same as spicy hand destroying flowers! ”
When Han Xing said this, the beautiful scene just now suddenly became boring.
A blue-clothed young man beside Jun Ran laughed out loud, stood up, and said meaningfully: "Since Jun Shizi is kind enough to throw bricks and jade, then I can't hide it." ”
He winked at Jun Ran, as if to say, Jun Ran is a "brick", then he is a "jade".
The young man in blue had a white pear blossom on his sideburns, and he ordered the palace people to lay paper and polish ink, and he freely painted inscriptions on the spot......
The faint fragrance of ink permeated the hall, and the others were talking in twos and threes, Han Xing couldn't sit still, and "quietly" ran to see Duanmujun's skirt, and after studying it, he said that he would go back to the palace and find someone to make a similar "peach blossom skirt".
The emperor looked at the boys and girls below, and seemed to be infected with a smile, the corners of his mouth were flying, and his narrow eyes flashed with pleasure. After drinking half a cup of tea, he thought of something, and asked the queen beside him in a low voice: "Can Wuyang take a fancy to it?" ”
The emperor asked without a beginning or an end, but the queen understood, and the teacup she had just picked up stopped in mid-air and put it down again.
The queen glanced at Wuyang with a complicated face, and replied in a low voice: "The concubines have taken a fancy to the two families, and I also ask the emperor to refer to them in detail." ”
While the emperor and queen were talking, the young man in blue took the pen, looked at his painting with satisfaction, and put the sheep's hair pen on the pen shelf.
The little chamberlain who was waiting for the pen and ink on the side hurriedly helped dry the ink, and then presented the ink painting to the emperor.
The emperor was stunned, and raised his eyebrows in some surprise, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
The young man in blue is wearing a pear blossom, but the painting is a picture of a snow forest, with heavy snow and snow, which makes people look at the peace and tranquility in their hearts.
"Pear blossoms put a thousand piles of snow at night." The emperor smiled and stroked his palms and praised, "Wang Yijia, your "Thousand Piles of Snow" is a bit interesting!" ”
"Thank you for your praise."
The young man named Wang Yijia got a wolf pen rewarded by the emperor, and went down triumphantly.
Immediately afterwards, a painting written by the third prince was also presented to the Imperial Front.
The queen looked at the young man in the green robe who was writing just now, and whispered in the emperor's ear, and the emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at the young man more.
At the suggestion of the queen, Mama Jin called Wuyang to the emperor's side, and the queen looked at Wuyang lovingly and asked, "Wuyang, how about you look at this word?" ”
The queen's tone was meaningful, revealing a hint of anticipation.
Wu Yang glanced at the painting calmly, and there were four words written on the long rice paper: willows and flowers.
At first glance, this person's handwriting is not bad, but it's a pity......
"The pen is weak, the turning point is obviously hesitant, from the word and the person, this person is afraid that the character is wandering and cowardly, and it is difficult to be a big responsibility!" Wuyang said methodically, his eyes bright.
The emperor took a closer look, and nodded sympathetically, feeling that the eldest daughter's eyes were sharp, quite fatherly.
