On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, a bright moon in the sky, tens of thousands of fire beads in the Taiye Pool, is the beautiful scenery of Liangcheng.

Some of the daughters of the official families in the Taiji Hall sat in their seats, their eyes swirling, and some of them were more lively, taking the initiative to talk to the girls who were close. But they are all dressed up exquisitely and beautifully, and they are extremely beautiful. Everyone understands that the Queen Mother summoned them to come to the palace to enjoy the plum and guess the lantern riddles, but in fact, she was choosing a concubine for the royal family.

A few people who had known each other outside the palace got together.

A purple cloth said: "I heard that the king of Leshui County is very handsome, and his temperament is also introverted and reserved. ”

A red-clothed man said: "King Xiaoliang is also a talent." ”

Another green-clothed one said, "Your Majesty has not yet been established, and there is only one Baolin in the palace who was born as a singer. ”

Hongyi smiled lightly: "That sister doesn't hurry up and walk around at this time, maybe she will meet Your Majesty by chance." ”

Hearing such words on the green face, the rouge on his face became even thicker, and he lowered his head to show his little daughter's attitude and said: "I heard that Your Majesty is well-read, and his poetry and calligraphy are excellent......

However, his mouth is also poisonous...... Bing Lan said with a heart, and then in the crowd, looking for the figure of the third sister of the Tang family.

At this time, a person in the laughter suddenly shouted angrily: "How dare you splash such hot tea on me? ”

Ice Blue Xunsheng saw that it was a richly dressed and good-looking woman talking. Her hair was full of pearls, and she was dressed in a carmine silk skirt, which was full of flowers with gold threads.

In front of her was a thinner woman, dressed extremely frugally, with a dense silk dress and a little embroidery on the skirt. The jet-black bun also wore only a dotted emerald of average color. However, the appearance is delicate, and in a piece of peach and willow green, it looks elegant and refreshing. Isn't that the third sister of the Tang family, Tang Di, who he misses in his heart.

Tang Di said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "You didn't spill this tea on yourself steadily, why do you blame me?" ”

"I just asked you to pour tea for me, if you don't want to, why did you deliberately pour the tea on me?" Carmine asked.

"It's clear that you're finding fault, I brought you the tea, you let go of yourself, and you wanted to splash the tea on me, but I didn't expect that you didn't stand firm and splashed it on yourself." Tang Di was not to be outdone.

At this time, the matter was already clear, and everyone whispered about whether it was carmine or not. Carmine couldn't hold it on her face when she heard it, but when she saw Tang Di wearing a shabby and simple dense silk shirt, it seemed that she was a girl from a small official's family. I couldn't help but feel a little more confident, and said proudly: "My skirts are all embroidered with gold thread!" Look at how shabby you are, you can't afford to pay for it. ”

Tang Di disagreed: "No wonder you can't stand steadily, you are wearing a golden cage." With that, everyone laughed. Bing Lan also covered her mouth and snickered.

At this time, Carmine was really enraged. How could the dignified lady be so ridiculed, after that, as soon as she reached out and grabbed the front of her dense shirt, Tang Di staggered, and the little emerald hairpin in her hair fell to the ground, and she didn't know who stepped on it, and it was cut in two in an instant.

"Eh, my hairpin!" Tang Di exclaimed.

"Humph! Sure enough, it's a small door, and I don't want this kind of hairpin to send it. After that, Carmine raised her right palm and was about to slap Mi Se, seeing that Tang Di was about to suffer the humiliation of this palm, but the high palm stopped in mid-air, and Carmine's wrist full of pearls was firmly pinched in his hand by Ice Blue.

Bing Lan practiced martial arts, her hands were strong, and Carmine couldn't get rid of her hands if she wanted to, pinching her painfully, and she was still unforgiving: "Who are you!" Do you know who my father is! ”

Bing Lan said disapprovingly: "I don't know! I just can't get used to seeing you bully. ”

Carmine's hands hurt and tears flowed, but she still said: "My father is General Xuanwu of Zhengsipin. ”

Bing Lan Xindao: The daughter of the little General Xuanwu is also so domineering.

"is so arrogant and unreasonable, and I am not afraid of losing General Gao's face." With that, Ice Blue let go of Carmine's hand.

Carmine saw that a red mark had been pinched on her white and tender wrist, and she was about to continue to look for the ice blue theory, but the young lady next to her persuaded her and said, "I heard someone call her Miss Huo just now, isn't it the niece of the Queen Mother, the daughter of Wu Renhou." Don't mess with her. ”

Although Carmine had a hot temper, when she heard the word Queen Mother, she suddenly died down, and she could only be stupid.

"Sister Huo, you are so powerful!" Tang Di gave Bing Lan a thumbs up.

"You're also very slippery!" Bing Lan said: "You tell yourself that your father's official is older than her father, look at her arrogant appearance!" ”

Tang Di smiled: "Seeing that she is in such a big battle, I thought that I had offended the princess." ”

Bing Lan saw that she was deliberately dressed plainly today, and she was not at all exquisite and gorgeous at the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve that day, and asked: "Today is a draft, why are you dressed so casually?" ”

Tang Di looked at what he was wearing today, and whispered in Bing Lan's ear: "Because I don't want to be chosen!" ”

"Why?" Ice blue side-eye.

"Miss Huo." At some point, the cloud appeared behind her.

Bing Lan turned around: "What's the matter with the king?" ”

Xian Yun said in Binglan's ear: "Father-in-law Wang Xi is waiting for you outside." ”

"Xiaodi, I've left beforehand." Ice Blue Road.

"Good. There you go. ”

Bing Lan followed Xianyun out of the Taiji Palace, only to see that Wang Xi was already waiting under the corridor. Then he walked a hundred steps under the cloister, and suddenly there was a small stairwell. Walking up, it turned out to be the attic of the Taiji Palace.

In the attic of the Tai Chi Temple. The attic has a dark window, through which you can see everything that is happening in the hall, but the people downstairs can't see the attic. Wang Xuanqi of Leshui County looked at the shadow of the densely colored clothes in the dark window, and his heart swelled with inexplicable joy.

But after a while, Xuan Nan came. Xuan Qi hurriedly got up and saluted, Xuan Nan waved his hand and said, "Second brother, it's just us, don't be formal." Sit down. ”

Xuanqi was a little embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, the mother concubine loves to worry about these things......"

"yes. I also sat here at my mother's command. But if you have something you like, I will give you a marriage. Xuan Nan also smiled.

"Haha. Mother's fate is hard to disobey. The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Why don't you see Ah Dong coming?" Xuan Nan asked.

"A few days ago, Ganlu Temple was on fire, and Ah Dong happened to meet it. Saved a mother and daughter in the fire and was slightly injured. Xuanqi said.

"Does that matter?" Xuan Nan asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter. It's all flesh wounds, but the face is colored, and it can be healed in a few days. Ah Dong said that he looked like this, and he was afraid that the queen mother would feel distressed when she saw it. Let's just say that he suffered from the wind chill and wanted to rest for a few more days. Xuanqi said.

"He's good enough to get away with it." Xuan Nan said.

"However, it's okay for Mother Concubine Zhang Luo to do this." Xuanqi said.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Nan asked.

"On the way into the palace today, the minister met a merchant from the Khitan. He asked his ministers to secretly forward a letter to His Majesty. After Xuanqi finished speaking, he took out a fire paint bag from his arms.

Xuan Nan took it, tore off the fire paint on it, took out the wax pill inside, squeezed the wax pill, and unfolded a paper bag inside, it was a letter. After reading it, Xuan Nan said, "I won't hide it from you, this is written to me in the name of Yeluda." The letter said that the people of Yanyun were in distress and hoped that I would help them in their trouble, and that when the matter was completed, they would submit to the Great Chu and accept the jurisdiction of the Great Chu's garrisons and officials. ”

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing. Isn't the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun just around the corner!" Xuanqi said in surprise.

At this time, the door was gently slammed, "Your Majesty, Concubine Huo is here." "It's an icy voice.

"Aqi, let's talk more about it after the banquet is over." Xuan Nan said.

Xuanqi nodded.

"Please come in." Xuan Nan said.

Bing Lan pushed open the door and saw that there was one more man in the room, not Xuan Dong. He wears a jade crown on his head, and his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Xuandong Xuannan, but he is also a good son with a good demeanor.

"This is the king of Leshui County, and also your cousin. He has been living in Adong's house since he entered Beijing. Xuan Nan said.

"The concubine has seen the king of Leshui County." Ice Blue Salute.

Xuanqi also saw the courtesy: "It turned out to be the sister of the uncle's family, I haven't seen her for many years, I really can't recognize it." It's polite. ”

"Eh, we all studied in Pan Palace when we were young, so we don't need to be polite." Xuan Nan pulled the two of them to sit down left and right.

At this time, the whispering in the hall suddenly stopped, and it was the Queen Mother who came with Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu said: "When the first emperor was alive, the method often played during the Shangyuan Festival was to beat the drum and pass the flowers. Whoever passes the hydrangea where the drum stops, let whoever put on a small show, which is lively and lively. ”

The Queen Mother said: "The mourners remember that as soon as the drum sounded, it was very lively. You can accompany our two old women to have a good time. ”

As soon as this statement came out, no one would object. The girls knew they were also going to examine their talents. Although he sat there with a dignified demeanor, his heart was already gearing up and eager to try.

Concubine Shu said: "Niangniang, the concubine has nothing else to do, and she has made a lot of bracelets in her spare time. For today's children. After that, Concubine Shu's maid Huang Shang brought a brocade plate, in which more than ten strings of delicate beads were placed.

Accompanied by the sound of drums, this hydrangea starts from the left. When the drum stopped, the hydrangea reached the woman in green. She looked at the sea of lanterns outside, the bright moon in the sky, and wrote down a couplet.

Shanglian: The lights are shining in the night

Downlink: Sheng's songs are clustered in the moonlight

Although the couplet is a little mediocre, the one-stroke writing is excellent. Concubine Shu gave her an amethyst beaded bracelet. She thanked her and stepped back into her seat.

Then the lively and cheerful drum sound stopped, and the hydrangea just passed to Tang Di's hand. Tang Di didn't twist either, gave a generous salute, and walked to the guzheng stand in the middle, but played and sang a song "Qingyu Case Yuan Xi" very appropriately.

Thousands of trees bloom at night in the east wind. More blows down, stars like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.

Moth snow willow golden wisps. The laughter is full of dark fragrance. The crowd is looking for him thousands of times. Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dim.

The sound of the elegant zheng, the melodious singing, her fingertips suddenly looked back, but the person was in the dim light. At this time, Xuanqi saw a woman standing alone in the sparsely lit place, as if the troubles of this world had nothing to do with her.

"Your Highness?" Ice Blue called him. Oh my God, he can't have a crush on Xiaodi, right?

Xuanqi didn't hear it.

"Second brother!" Xuan Nan called him.

Xuan Qi came back to his senses. "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"Why didn't you bring some gifts when you came on a blind date today?" Xuan Nan teased, then looked at the jade pendant on Xuan Qi's waist, and said: "Although it is not the most suitable, there is no better one than it now." ”

"Your Highness, why don't we take a look at it again? This game of drumming and passing flowers is not over yet? "Ice Blue Road.

Xuan Nan looked at Xuan Qi's face that was flushed to the root of his ears, and said with a smile: "Look at him, call him distracted, and now his face is red again." Ha ha. ......" Then he shook the bell on the table, and Wang Xi came in.

Xuanqi consciously untied the jade pendant and handed it to Wang Xi.

"Take the prince's jade pendant to the young lady who sang the Qingyu case just now." Xuan Nan said.

After Wang Xi left, Bing Lan said: "If nothing happens, the concubine will also retire." After that, he was about to get up, but was pressed on the chair by Xuan Nan.

"Don't go. Just sit here for a while. The following is playing drumming and passing flowers to show talent. I'm afraid you'll make a fool......" Xuan Nan said disapprerovingly.

"Humph! Who says I'm not talented...... Why would I make a fool of myself! Do you know how difficult it is for me to meet Xiaodi! Ice Blue said unhappily.

"Do you know that I want to find a chance...... Xuan Nan stopped talking, and said: "Forget it!" Hum! You're going to sit here anyway. Then he turned his head and looked out the dark window, but the sleeves of his ice blue shirt were tighter.

"Cut!" Ice Blue is displeased.

The Queen Mother held Xuanqi's jade pendant, looked at the girl in front of her with satisfaction, and said, "Miss Tang, there are not many bracelets prepared by the concubine, this jade pendant is given to you, okay?" ”

Everyone was shocked, the jade pendant was worn by a man, and the unicorn pattern on it was not used by ordinary people, the jade pendant made of Hetian white jade, there was a jade () bead down, which was engraved with the seal text of the word Leshui, and then the tassel tied with the autumn fragrance silk thread, this jade pendant should be a prince's. It seems that the meaning of the Queen Mother's courtship is very clear. The young ladies present opened their eyes wide and looked at no Tang Di, and there was no one who was not envious.

"Niangniang, the concubine just plays the piano for entertainment, the reward of this jade pendant is too valuable. I really don't dare to take it. Tang Di said.

Everyone was shocked and opened their mouths wide, no one could believe that this Miss Tang had politely rejected the marriage proposal of the king of Leshui County in this way.

Above the attic, when Xuan Nan wanted to say comfort, but he didn't want Xuan Qi to say: "She applied a little powder today, and at first glance, she had no intention of glory, which I had long expected."

"And what are you going to do?" Xuan Nan asked.

"Where does a little girl know what marriage love. When I marry her and spoil her every day, how can she not dislike me! Xuanqi said.
