Chapter 88: The Chen Mansion Goes to the Banquet
Before Shangguan Yutang could agree, the two maids in front of her pushed her into the room and let her sit in front of the bronze mirror.
The maids opened their baggage, one containing jewelry beads, and the other containing a lilac wide-sleeved Luo shirt dress.
The officials of the DPRK and China set up banquets, and the banquet was generally held by the emperor's relatives and important ministers of the DPRK and the central government, some of whom were simply close friends, some of whom wanted to form gangs, and some of whom were just looking for the right people for their sons and daughters.
Shangguan Yutang guessed, could it be that Huangfu Hongyi was worried that his men's clothes were more handsome than him, and he was afraid that he could attract bees and butterflies than him, so he asked the maid to help him dress up and change into women's clothes?
Shangguan Yutang was thinking about it like this, and before he knew it, a slim girl appeared in the bronze mirror.
The satin-like black hair swept behind the shoulders, and the flowing purple and white ribbons were rolled into a bun, and a light lilac hosta was obliquely pinned between the buns.
Under Liu Yexiu's eyebrows, there are a pair of bright eyes like black jewels, long eyelashes, cherry-like red lips, delicate skin as white as snow, and a light violet shirt outlines her soft and graceful figure.
Shangguan Yutang looked at herself in the bronze mirror in a daze, this time she was dressed more beautifully than the last time she was dressed in Miaozhuyuan, she smiled at the bronze mirror, and felt a little more grateful to Huangfu Hongyi in her heart.
After dressing up, Shangguan Yutang went out and found that Huangfu Hongyi was already waiting for her in front of the door.
Huangfu Hongyi has a silver crown and bundled hair, a crescent-colored gold silk embroidered brocade robe, a knife-like face with sharp edges and deep facial features, and he has been practicing martial arts all year round.
Shangguan Yutang couldn't help but sigh that Huangfu Hongyi's innate hegemonic aura was a little more than that of the prince in the palace, and sure enough, a man with a handsome appearance, good temperament, and a good figure looked good in anything.
Shangguan Yutang retracted his thoughts and said softly: "Hongyi, let's go." ”
Huangfu Hongyi let out a faint "um", and along the way, he looked at her little face with his spare eyes. The eyebrows are like ink paintings, and the face is like peach petals, this dress is not a stunning beauty, but it is still beautiful and elegant, which makes him excited.
Li Shenlong carried a vegetable basket and met the two in front of the gate of Huguo Villa, looking at the beautiful girl next to Huangfu Hongyi, Li Shenlong was surprised, it turned out that he was not a broken sleeve?
But...... Why is this beautiful girl next to Huangfu Hongyi so familiar?
Li Shenlong was curious, he stopped, approached Shangguan Yutang and looked at it carefully.
Shangguan Yutang saw Li Shenlong standing beside her staring at her intently, and this puzzled look made her inexplicable.
"Li Shenlong, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Li Shenlong was so shocked that he stammered, and he said in surprise: "You...... Are you a sissy?! You...... Are you a man or a woman? ”
Shangguan Yutang unceremoniously gave him a roll of his eyes, "Did I say I was a man?" ”
Only then did Li Shenlong know that the sissy was a woman! So Huangfu Hongyi is not a broken sleeve?
Li Shenlong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he no longer had to worry about Huangfu Hongyi taking a fancy to him in the future, and he could get along with him with confidence!
"I won't tell you, Hongyi and I have to hurry, see you back!" After Shangguan Yutang said goodbye to Li Shenlong, he got on the horse.
Li Shenlong waved at the carriage and said, "Be careful on the road!" ”
At this time, under the big tree not far from the Huguo Villa, there was a tall and mighty man wearing a hat on his head, and this man looked in the direction where Li Shenlong was.
The man's face was so tightly covered by a hat that no one could see it.
……
The carriage was bumpy on the road, and Shangguan Yutang leaned against the corner and closed his eyes to recuperate.
With a pink little face and curved eyelashes, Huangfu Hongyi's blazing gaze fell on her little face and never moved away for half a minute. After a while, he raised a hand and gently pulled a tuft of green silk from her cheek behind her ear.
His hand inadvertently touched her smooth skin, and Huangfu Hongyi rolled in his throat, and couldn't help but want to kiss Fangze.
Suddenly, Shangguan Yutang opened his eyes suddenly, and struck at Huangfu Hongyi with a palm.
With her speed and strength, she couldn't resist him after all, and Huangfu Hongyi easily grabbed her little hand without two points of strength.
Huangfu Hongyi let go of her hand and said, "It's half a beat slower than the last time." ”
When she was in Duanxian Palace, Huangfu Hongyi was sitting by her bed one night, and she woke up in a dream and almost slapped her palm on Huangfu Hongyi.
Shangguan Yutang smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Hongyi, this is my instinctive reaction." ”
She moved to Huangfu Hongyi's side and asked, "Hongyi, will there be many officials from the DPRK and China going to the Chen Mansion for a banquet tonight?" ”
Huangfu Hongyi nodded: "Yes." ”
"Oh, will there be a lot of official sons and famous ladies?"
Huangfu Hongyi's eyebrows frowned, she asked what is this for? Do you want to get to know those official sons at tonight's banquet?
As soon as he thought of this, Huangfu Hongyi's expression became more and more gloomy.
And Shangguan Yutang didn't know what Huangfu Hongyi was thinking, so he only continued: "That...... Are you worried that if I am too handsome in men's clothes, I will block your limelight, so you let me change back to women's clothes? ”
As she spoke, Shangguan Yutang's voice became smaller and smaller, and she cleared her head, what nonsense was she talking about? Anyone with eyes can see that Huangfu Hongyi is more handsome than himself, right? I don't have such a sense of arrogance!
The corners of Huangfu Hongyi's mouth rose slightly, he looked at Shangguan Yutang playfully, and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that Yutang has always thought that this king is not as handsome as you?" ”
was asked by Huangfu Hongyi, Shangguan Yutang's face was so embarrassed that his little face turned red, comparable to Huangfu Hongyi's appearance, it was just looking for abuse!
Looking at his evil smile, Shangguan Yutang praised: "Hongyi, you look so good when you smile, the most important thing in being a person is to be happy, some things may not be able to change, but people always have to look forward." "The revenge of killing relatives cannot be forgotten, but people cannot be immersed in hatred for the rest of their lives.
Huangfu Hongyi smiled, and said a faint "um" again.
Silence resumed in the carriage, Shangguan Yutang reflected on Fang Cai's words, would he say it too easily, the grief that Huangfu Hongyi was immersed in his heart was not something that could be relieved by a word or two from others.
……
Beiyang City, Chen Mansion
There was an endless stream of guests in front of Chen's mansion, and many court officials came to congratulate Chen Baisheng on his birthday.
Chen Baisheng is a delicate person in all directions, he talks about people when he sees people, and he talks nonsense when he sees ghosts, and those who are beneficial to him will flatter him, and those who are not beneficial to him will not be treated with river water, so many officials in the court will also give him a little thin noodles.
Chen Baisheng stood in front of the door in an ink-colored brocade robe to greet the guests, he was just forty today, but his appearance was also maintained at about thirty-six or seventeen, his facial features were upright, and he looked polite.
"City Lord Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" He was approached by Lin Shanghai, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who was nearly fifty years old, and was followed by a nineteen-year-old girl in white, who was his daughter Lin Xiangru.
Chen Baisheng smiled, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Lord Lin has come from afar, I hope to forgive me for missing it." ”
At this time, a man and a woman walked out of the sedan chair on the side of the road, the man was about forty-five years old, he was Jiang Jianbai, the lord of Jiangnan City, and the woman was Jiang Jianbai's daughter Jiang Zhitao, who was about the same age as Lin Xiangru.
Jiang Jianbai arched his hand and said: "Lord Lin, City Lord Chen, I am fortunate to be happy!" ”
The three of them stood in front of the door and greeted each other, and this scene fell into the eyes of Leng Fengjie and Su Shanao not far away.
Su Shanao approached Leng Feng Jue and said, "Hall Master, that's Jiang Jianbai, he seized our gambling house in Jiangnan City, and we haven't settled accounts with him yet!" ”
Leng Feng smiled evilly and said softly: "To deal with him, we don't need to take action personally." ”
Chen Xiyue and Chen Beixiao walked to the door of Chen's mansion, it was already evening, and the people they were thinking about day and night had not yet arrived.
Chen Xiyue's eyebrows furrowed, and she said anxiously: "Does King Duanxian really not give our Chen Mansion face, shouldn't he not come?" ”
The anxiety in Chen Beixiao's heart was no less than Chen Xiyue: "Dongfang Ai hasn't come yet, and I don't know what kind of stinking girl is putting up!" ”
Coincidentally, two carriages came from opposite directions and stopped in front of Chen's mansion.
Huangfu Hongyi and Shangguan Yutang got out of the carriage, and Dongfang Ai and Dongfang Yu also got out of the carriage.
Chen Beixiao and Chen Xiyue's eyes lit up, and they ran to the two carriages respectively.
"King Duanxian!" Chen Xiyue raised her eyebrows with joy, and when she saw a beautiful girl next to Huangfu Hongyi, her little face instantly faded into a smile.
Why is this woman following Huangfu Hongyi again? Could it be that she and Huangfu Hongyi are really ......? No way! Princess Duanxian must be her Chen Xiyue!
The hostility in Chen Xiyue's eyes was unobstructed, she stared at Shangguan Yutang deadly, and said unhappily: "Who are you?" How to follow King Duanxian? ”
"Oh, I'm ......" Shangguan Yutang didn't finish speaking, when suddenly his waist tightened, and Huangfu Hongyi's big hand tightly wrapped around her slender waist.
The next moment, Huangfu Hongyi's deep and magnetic voice sounded: "She is the beloved woman of this king." ”
“!!!”
This not only shocked Chen Xiyue's heart, but even Shangguan Yutang was taken aback.
Shangguan Yutang woke up like a dream, it turned out that Hongyi asked her to change into women's clothes to pretend to be the girl he liked? Come to think of it, Huangfu Hongyi is handsome and incomparable, and he is the dream lover of many girls, so in order not to be "harassed" by some girls, so he let himself be a shield, right?
Shangguan Yutang was very kind and decided to be a good person to the end, and this time she would help Hongyi with this, so she said to Chen Xiyue: "Miss Chen, can we go in?" ”
Chen Xiyue was so angry that her teeth itched, she clenched her hands into fists, no one was qualified to rob Huangfu Hongyi with her, but now that Huangfu Hongyi was in front of her, even if she was not convinced, she couldn't tear her face in front of him, so she had to turn sideways and let them enter Chen's mansion.
On the other side, Chen Beixiao was following Dongfang Ai with a flattering face, trying his best to make her happy.
"Lord Yining, what kind of dishes do you like to eat? I'll let the cook make it for you. ”
Dongfang Ai said: "The guest is as he pleases, Chen Gongzi doesn't have to be polite." ”
Dongfang Ai had no intention of Chen Beixiao, and he didn't want to say more to him, so he followed Dongfang Yu straight to the house.
