Chapter 10: The Queen's Birthday Banquet (1)
On the day of the birthday banquet, Qin Si was dragged up by the girl early in the morning and began to dress up, how to say that she was also a guest appointed by the queen's mother, so she still had to dress up generously and decently.
Dressed in a white gauze dress, her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders. A little powder, and then with a little pearl and jade embellishment, the whole dress does not have a trace of vulgar powder, simple, generous, shining eyes can not hide his aura, the whole person looks fairy.
"How's that girl, is it good?" Qin Si walked around in front of the mirror and took a few selfies by the way. When I go home next time, I must let Xiaoxiao take a look, and I have become a little beauty in ancient costume!
"Sister, you're beautiful today! It's sure to overwhelm the crowd! ”
"Why are you overpowering the crowd? It's not a beauty pageant. ”
"Sister doesn't know, I heard that many noble ladies are waiting to shine at today's banquet, you think, the Chinese military officials are here, everyone is watching!" I must be dressed up one by one. . . ”
"Forget it, forget it, my purpose is to visit and learn, experience the folk customs, and I don't care about the rest. Let them compare the beauty, I'm a soy sauce player! ”
Qin Simei had enough, and ran out of the door with her own gifts, leaving only the girl behind with a sigh,
"It's so different...
"Why are you so slow?" Cui Zidu turned around the door for almost ten times before he saw Qin Si's figure.
"What's the hurry, girls will be slower when they go out, how is it, is it good-looking?" Qin Si stared at him with bright big eyes, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Yes, it's okay." Cui Zidu replied lightly, turned around and went back to the carriage.
"What! Boast and die! ”
Qin Si was so angry that he stomped his feet! It's a shame that she's been dressed up seriously for a long time, so it's such an evaluation! It hurts so much!
Qin Si, who was swept away, refused to sit in a carriage with him, but Qingfei and Wang Bo persuaded her with kind words next to her, so she reluctantly sat in.
"Wow... I really entered the palace! ”
Qin Si leaned on the window and looked at everything around him intently. This is simply a miniature version of the Forbidden City. Gold bricks and silver tiles, magnificent. This feeling is not the same as visiting the Forbidden City, and only when you are in it can you feel the royal grandeur and solemnity.
"Get out of the car." Cui Zidu stood under the car and reached out to her very politely.
Of course, Qin Si was still angry with her, but in this unfamiliar environment, he still needed to take care of her, so he couldn't make the atmosphere too stiff. "Forget it, I'll give you some face." Qin Si smiled at him, stretched out his hand, and cautiously stepped out of the carriage.
"There are so many people, are they all here to congratulate the queen on her birthday?"
"These are all important ministers in the court, and their families, unless they are specially approved, ordinary people will not be able to come."
"Oh, so it looks like I'm a special guest!" Qin Si's sense of presence exploded in an instant!
"Speak less for a while and pay attention to your words and actions. It's no better here than outside, and there will be people watching you every move, so you have to be careful. ”
"Yes!"
The two of them walked towards the main hall one after the other. Along the way, Cui Zi introduced to her the general situation in the palace and the things that need to be paid attention to at the birthday banquet. I have to say that there are many royal rules. At this moment, she remembered more things than she had to remember when she was admitted to college, so that Qin Si had no intention of appreciating the scenery.
The guests arrived one after another, and Gonggong Li, as the supervisor, was already so busy that he was dizzy, and he just wanted to rest next to the main hall, when he happened to see two people talking and laughing and coming over.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Xuan and Miss Sisi, the old slave has seen the two."
"I've met Father-in-law Li, thank you father-in-law for coming over in person last time."
"Oh, Miss Sisi, where is this, this is my business!"
This Gonggong Li looked at Qin Si with a smile, he still likes this little girl, she is not arrogant, she is generous, and she is much more comfortable than those pretentious rich ladies.
"Grandpa Li, are my eldest brother and younger brother back this year? I haven't heard from them yet. ”
"Come back, come back, come back!" Gonggong Li was happy when he mentioned this matter, he hadn't seen the two princes for a long time, they were both children who had seen the eldest since childhood, and this time they came back together, and he was also happy in his heart.
"Really!" Cui Zidu's eyes lit up, "Where are they now?" ”
"It's the queen's place, let's go, I'll take you there!"
Cui Zidu walked in front of him like a fly, he hadn't seen the two of them for a long time, and his excitement was indescribable. It's just that Gonggong Li is old and his legs and feet are not good, and he follows closely behind with small steps, and he is out of breath after a while.
"Father-in-law, let's slow down and stay out of the way." Qin Si hugged him and rested on the side of the road for a while,
"Is it better to have a father-in-law?" Qin Si gently patted his back and helped him breathe,
"It's much better, alas, it's useless when people get old! Hahaha... Let's take our time. ”
"It's so lively in the palace today, it's so beautiful everywhere!"
"Today, powerful people inside and outside the DPRK and China are here, but they are all people who tend to be inflammatory, they are all here for their own purposes, and they are not here to congratulate Niangniang on her birthday, oh, we have arrived, this is it."
"I'll report it first, girl."
"I'm tired of my father-in-law."
Qin Si kept taking a deep breath outside the main hall, so nervous, so nervous, this time it's not fake, it's really going to see the queen, a real person who can breathe and talk! Qin Si was so excited, if it wasn't for the fear of causing a riot, she really wanted to take a selfie with the queen, although she had her mobile phone with her, and it was fully charged.
"Xuan, Miss Qin Si entered the hall. Girl, please come with me. ”
“… Good. ”
As a woman living in the imperial capital, she went to the Forbidden City as casually as she went shopping, but the first time she came to this high imitation of the hall, she was once again shocked by the wisdom of the ancient working people! This is resplendent and magnificent, this graceful and luxurious, Qin Si was blinded by the golden decoration.
"Girl, don't look around." The little eunuch next to him kindly reminded him, and Qin Si quickly lowered his head.
"Qin Si, the people's daughter, I have seen the queen mother, I wish the queen a long life and eternal youth."
"Raise your head and let the mourners see."
With permission, Qin Si slowly raised his head, only to find that the queen was sitting behind the gauze curtain, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly at all.
"Little girl, come, come to the mourning family." Gonggong Li opened the curtain, and she saw the true face of the queen clearly.
If you don't say it's a family, her skin is super good, she is more than forty, and she married and gave birth relatively early in ancient times, plus she is well-maintained, and the queen looks young and beautiful. It wasn't at all like she had imagined. In her impression, the queen is all with Mama Rong.
"Little girl, where are you from? I heard that you live in Prince Xuan's mansion now, right? ”
"If you go back to the queen's mother, my home is far away, and I have no one to rely on when I first came to Kyoto, and the prince is kind enough to take me to live in the palace."
"Who else is in the house? What does it do? ”
The queen looked at her very kindly, her eyes were full of smiles, and she felt as kind as an aunt. This can't help but remind him of the queen in "Huanzhu Gege", who is also a queen, why is the gap so big!
But... These questions she asked... It sounds familiar!
"Queen Mother, your question scared Miss Sisi, and the girls didn't dare to speak, let's ask slowly when we have time in the future, this birthday banquet will start soon!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm too anxious, look at it, girl, don't mind, I'm just asking, asking!"
"No, no, Queen Mother, I have a small gift here, which is for Niangniang." Qin Si opened the box, and the glittering packaging box of Dior alone had already attracted her attention.
"What is this, so beautiful, the mourning family has never seen it."
"This is the lipstick we brought back from far away, which is the lipstick we use. It's just that the style is very chic, put it in this small box, you can rotate it when you want to use it, it's convenient and clean, and there are many colors, are you interested in trying it? ”
Qin Si opened the box, and the five lipsticks flickered with golden light to look even more noble.
"Which color do you think I look good with today's outfit? Pick for me. ”
The queen mother is like a child who has been given a baby, her curiosity is completely aroused, and her eyes begin to glow.
"I see..."The queen's golden robe, matched with her golden hair accessories, couldn't help but remind him of Gong Li's style in "The City is Full of Golden Armor".
"Look at this one. It's just a darker shade of red, which is unassuming, and looks low-key and gorgeous. It goes well with your overall look today. ”
"Okay, then listen to you, quickly paint the mourning family."
"Okay sissy."
Dior's silky touch and striking colors have completely corroded the queen's heart, and after the makeup is finished, the queen holds the mirror and takes photos from various angles.
"This color is so beautiful, Sisi, where did you get this baby from, can you get some more for the mourning family?"
"No problem, Queen Mother, when I go back, I'll ask someone to come back a little bit."
"Then thank you in advance... Ah... It's so beautiful..."
Qin Si's heart fell to the ground, it seemed that this gift was deeply satisfactory to her, and she silently thanked Xiaoxiao 10,000 times in her heart.
"Niangniang, the birthday banquet is ready."
"Okay, Sisi, you can go with the mourning family."
"Qin Si didn't dare... Or the mother first..."
"What the mourning family said, what don't you dare, walk next to me." The queen pulled her to her side with a smile on her face.
"It's... Empress. ”
