Chapter 3: On the Feast

The snow is like butterflies, sprinkled one after another, and the more and more urgent, like the withered jade tree silver flower above the nine heavens.

I often like to step on the snow, my feet are only wrapped in a pair of cloth shoes that are about to wear through the soles, and the lower calves have been soaked with biting snow, and some have been frozen, dripping with fine ice cubes. Her feet were numb from the cold, and her body floated, as if she had been uprooted, but she kept gritting her teeth, taking mechanical steps, without saying a word, and her ears were whispers of the two little girls in front of her.

She ignored the little girls' insults, her mind was clear, and her mind kept recalling the general overview of the family country that Ning Shuang had been babbling in her ear in the past month.

Today's mainland territory is divided into three major parts, the extreme north is cold all year round, for the Great Qin State, the extreme south of the country is very hot all year round, is for the Great Frontier country, and the country where she is located is the Great Chu State, but it is uniquely endowed with both the softness of spring and autumn and the fierceness of winter and summer, bordering the Great Qin on the top, and the bordering on the Great Qin, and the widest territory, the thickest national strength, and the richest people's livelihood, so although the two countries of the Great Qin and the Great Qin occupy an advantageous area, one after the other attack and encirclement, but they can only watch the fat on the side of the mouth continue to be peaceful and peaceful, and the wind and rain are smooth, It's not the slightest bit.

The Great Chu State blazed a trail and created a precedent for the officials of this dynasty and the generation to worship the two prime ministers, which was the left prime minister and the right prime minister. And Chang Youxi's current identity is the third daughter of the right prime minister Chang Yuandao, and her mother is the third aunt who shaved her hair and became a nun.

Her unmasked father is in a high position, and she has been in the court from left to right, and she has an iron fist in politics, which is very important to the emperor. He is nearly fifty years old, but he has no children under his knees, and only a baby boy from a distant clan relative is accepted as an adopted son in the name of the lady of the main room. However, he was often ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors, and sighed that he had no children, and failed to continue the incense for the Chang family, so he accepted a fourth concubine a month ago.

On the day when Xiangye took a concubine, the real Chang Youxi died, and he was almost buried in a thin coffin and a pinch of loess.

I often can't help but sneer in my heart, and my body is cold.

Such a person is not worthy of being a father.

Listening to Ning Shuang, Chang Youxi was frightened by a ghost when he was three years old, and he has been crazy and delirious since then. Others gradually forgot that when the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was born, a hundred birds surrounded the beams, and the sky was full of auspicious signs, and over time, she became a veritable crazy fool.

In the past 12 years, the prime minister summoned Chang Youxi to count the two fingers of the happy days, but because of the face of the prime minister, he was even more afraid of the frame of people with intentions to make a big fuss, so he had to give Chang Youxi a place to live in the prime minister's mansion and let him fend for himself.

I often feel that this sudden grace of the lord is a little strange. She has a hunch, this seems to be a fire pit deliberately dug by someone with a heart, but who will do everything possible to frame a fool who is difficult to get into the hall of elegance? But she prefers to make dangerous moves, and the sword goes sideways, and finds out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Only once and for all, she will be able to live a long time.

Chang Youxi still hung a signboard hehe smirked, but his eyes flew around cautiously.

Out of the palm-sized courtyard where she lived, the surroundings suddenly opened up, and the snow was swept by the servants in a series of wide roads, leading to all directions in the mansion. The mansion is lined up in the first row, such as the dragon pan, it is difficult to see the beginning and the end, the eaves are stacked and hooked like swallows, the murals are colorful, solemn and simple in the grandeur and full, a good family is prosperous.

As soon as she thought of the fact that she had repeatedly woken up in the middle of the night in that dilapidated hut in the past month, not to mention the days when pigs and dogs were not as good as the real twelve years of joy and hardship, she was extremely disgusted with this husband who didn't care about his flesh and blood.

"This plum blossom is so good, so beautiful!" A little girl casually folded a red plum and inserted it in her hair as she walked, her face flushed and Gu Ying felt sorry for herself.

"Yes, our eldest lady has admired the noble character of plum blossoms since she was a child, and the prime minister sent someone to plant plum blossoms in the house, which shows how much the eldest lady is favored by the lord!" The other girl echoed with envy.

"The eldest lady is as beautiful as a fairy, with a gentle personality, and she is a talented girl who everyone in Kyoto knows about, so she may have a noble personality in the future!" The little girl said and stomped on the snow under her feet, and took a few breaths of hot air on her frozen red little hand.

If it weren't for this fool, why would she be shivering in the snow and shivering.

"Phew, you fool, you are blessed with a body but not a blessed life, I'm afraid that you won't be able to support such a good life as the eldest lady in the next life!" She said that she usually coughed up a mouthful of phlegm on her body and quickened her steps.

Chang Youxi was still smiling stupidly, as if he didn't see the dirty saliva on his sleeves, although he was smiling, his eyes were as silent as an ancient well, and he gradually hid himself into a dark darkness that was difficult to distinguish.

Endure? She learned it from a young age.

After walking around for a long time, passing through a long road, I only heard the sound of laughter like a tide, and it was blowing in my ears. There are often people who raise their eyes, like a beast that has woken up from sleep, and their eyes are slightly squinted and half-opened, and they have taken in all the scenery in the palace.

Several octagonal palace lamps covered with glazed glaze hang on the top and hang down, the long hall of reflection is like day, the lights are blurred, just like the fairyland Yao Pond in general, only to see the clothes and sideburns in the palace, the staggered planning is staggered, people come and go, three or four are in groups, so not happy and prosperous.

Like a banquet? Chang Youxin looked at the patch jacket on his body that was incompatible with such prosperity and charm, and his heart was even more surprised.

She had heard Ning Shuang grit her teeth and say that it was precisely because Xiangye was too face-saving, and she was afraid that people in the world would never leave his stupid daughter, and she couldn't wait to get rid of her relationship, so how could she summon this stupid young lady at the important juncture of the banquet guests today?

There are many mysteries.

"The old man borrowed the light of my eldest daughter, and saw that the red plum blossoms in this house were blooming very well, so he specially found a reason to invite several princes and ministers to come to cook wine and enjoy the flowers. Chang Yuandao stood on the high platform paved with white jade bricks, wearing a dark blue brocade robe with dark cloud patterns, his hair was tied with a golden crown, his face was broad, his eyes were clear, his hair was half white but full of energy.

Everyone wearing gold and jade in the banquet is a family dignitary, and they are happy to sell a little face, Chang Yuandao's voice just fell, and the cheers of high and low are endless.

Everyone raised Chang Yuandao's vanity face, and he held the wine cup with a red smile on his face, obviously very satisfied.

On the flowing seat, only one person was particularly different, attracting people's attention and attracting a group of celebrities and their relatives to throw crimson eyes. In the luxury of a red brocade satin, he seemed to be a fairy isolated from the dust, neither flattering nor laughing, but only sitting on the embroidered pier in front of the carved window as if no one was there. Wearing a light robe like a feather gauze flowing like the moon, the sleeves are secretly woven with gold edges, covered with a silver rat skin with a fur edge, the hair is like splashing ink, loose and loose hanging to the waist, only tied at will with a plain brocade belt decorated with beads, the eyebrows are like the moon, soft and strong, the eyes are like water waves, but they are vague and calm, the face is white, the lips are dry, and the sickness is full, which is obviously a long-term illness. His ten fingers were as trim as bamboo, and he was holding a cup of blue tea, his face was lazy and gentle, with a slightly cool and cold color, and he looked thoughtfully at the heavy snow outside the window.

Chang Youxi stood motionless in the snow, and with a casual glance, he was taking a look at the man sitting at the window looking out.

In the gorgeousness, Chang Youxi's tattered dress has obviously become a unique landscape, and there is no doubt that the man has also discovered her existence.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and the man did not show half a surprised look because of her sudden appearance, nor was he disgusted by her dress, but was humble and polite, and his lips curved and smiled at her.

What beautiful people! Chang Youxi couldn't help but admire, and then smiled back politely.
