Chapter 519: Going to the Banquet
Chapter 519
Two young girls stood behind a bush of beautiful cherry blossoms, looking at the people in the flower hall not far away, whispering.
"Then there are two princesses sitting in the middle, right? Which one is the fourth princess and which one is the fifth princess? ”
"I know this, I just asked someone to inquire, the fourth princess who wears yellow is the fifth princess, and the fifth princess is the red one."
"The dress of the fourth princess is so beautiful......" The girl who said this lowered her head and pulled the placket of her clothes. This dress was specially made for today's housewarming banquet in King Zhao's Mansion, and it was more expensive than all the clothes she had worn before.
The girl next to her also touched the beaded flowers on the sideburns. She likes this beaded flower very much, but it's not hers, she borrowed it from her sister-in-law to wear, and she has to return it today after wearing it. Originally, she also thought that this pearl flower was decent enough, but the people who came today, the princess, she didn't dare to compare, but it seems that any female guest, the makeup is richer and more expensive than her.
The two of them don't know anyone, and they were brought in today because of two or three layers of relationships, which is a rare opportunity for them - this is the palace! Casual encounters with people are either rich or expensive, and these people are people that they would never have been able to reach before.
But when they arrived, they realized that it was not quite what they had thought before. Today there are many distinguished guests, but they do not stay with them, just as now, they can only see the princesses from afar, but they cannot come close. As for the male guests, they didn't come in the same door as them at all, and they didn't even see a single male guest.
Today's excitement is lively, but Liu Yan doesn't think it's much fun.
There are few guests here today that she is familiar with. None of the three sisters came, and she and Liu Yu didn't talk for more than half a sentence. My aunt's family only had a third cousin-in-law, and she had met Liu Yan twice, so she really didn't have anything to say. As for the others...... Liu Yan also recognizes most of them, but he also recognizes them.
She can also say it when she is entertaining, and she can say it very decently, that is, the praise of those people makes Liu Yan a little uncomfortable.
is about to praise her as a fairy daughter and descend to earth.
Is she that good?
The opposite of her is Liu Yu.
Liu Yu wore a palace dress embroidered with black camellia on a white background today, her eyebrows were painted very exquisitely, curved, and the tail of her eyebrows was elongated, which made her look particularly beautiful.
Liu Yan was a little surprised at first, but then he figured it out.
It is probably a person who is going to get married, and it is natural that there is a change in his thinking and style. After all, when you are married, you are not as good as when you are not out of the cabinet, and you can feel tacky and lazy in the boudoir, but it is different after getting married.
The banquet was arranged very thoughtfully, and Liu Yan had several dishes on this banquet that she usually liked to eat. However, Zhaowangfu did not favor one over the other, and there was also a mixed taro paste and a glutinous rice balls on the table, which Liu Yu liked.
Liu Yan can see it, can Liu Yuyan see it?
"The fourth sister-in-law arranged it very carefully and thoughtfully."
Liu Yan nodded.
Although the dishes are what she usually likes, Liu Yan's appetite is not very good today, maybe she came by car all the way, which made her a little dizzy.
Gui Yuan understood it and served half a bowl of soup for Liu Yan: "Princess, try this fish soup." ”
Liu Yan tasted it indispensably.
The soup is quite fresh, there is no fishy smell, and the slightly sour and delicious taste is quite appetizing.
"This soup tastes good."
Liu Yu also tasted it: "It's really good, is there a hawthorn in it?" The sour taste is clear, and it doesn't cover the original umami of the fish soup. ”
Liu Yan drank the half bowl, and asked Longan to serve a bowl for her, the soup was still soaked in two pieces of milky white fish, the thorns had already been picked out, and the meat was about to melt into the soup, and the soup was still hot, different from other dishes on the table that were already half warm.
Drinking some hot soup in this weather is much more comfortable than eating those greasy dishes.
"Fourth sister try this, this snack is good."
Liu Yan tasted one - it was a fried lotus leaf crisp, with the fragrance of lotus leaves.
"Fifth sister, will you stay to watch the play later?"
Liu Yu shook her head: "I'm not going," she paused for a moment, and said softly: "Fourth sister, I want to go shopping by myself, just near Anyefang, I won't go far." ”
Although Liu Yan went out of the palace with her, Liu Yan would not restrain her what she wanted to do.
"You just have to go, just don't miss the time to return to the palace, and be careful not to go wrong."
Liu Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I remember, I will definitely return to the palace early." ”
Liu Yan didn't plan to stay to watch the play, she said to Princess Zhao, and asked her not to send it, so she quietly left King Zhao's mansion through the side door.
Doutang helped her into the car and whispered back: "Princess, the fifth princess has brought a few guards, and it seems that she is going east." ”
Liu Yan originally thought that Liu Yu was going to see her princess's mansion, which had been selected and was being renovated, but if she went east, the direction was not quite right.
"The fifth princess may be, want to go to the Tian family to see?"
Liu Yan didn't know where Tian Lin lived now, so she asked Doutang: "By the way, if Tian Lin goes out of Beijing, who will take care of his nephews and nieces at home?" ”
"This slave doesn't know, why don't you go and inquire?"
"Okay, if you have time, keep an eye on it, and if you are in trouble, you can help."
Liu Yan didn't want to go back to the palace like this, she had a hard time coming out, and she also wanted to go shopping.
Gui Yuan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Princess." ”
Gui Yuan pointed forward.
Liu Yan also saw it.
Lu Yi is also a ghostly person, he is riding a horse and waiting at the street in front.
I don't know why, as soon as I saw him smiling, Liu Yan felt that all the original troubles had grown wings, and suddenly they all flew away without a trace.
However, seeing him, it seems that there are some new troubles.
The taste of this kind of trouble is a bit of a sour fruit, sour, and a little sweet, well, maybe it is not ripe, and it has a faint astringency.
Lu Yi urged the horse to catch up, and said with a smile: "The princess is running away?" ”
"I'm getting tired of sitting there." Liu Yan asked him: "You also escaped from the table?" ”
"In the morning, I helped His Royal Highness King Zhao Zhang Luo to entertain guests, and I didn't even drink saliva at this time."
Seeing that he pretended to be pitiful and didn't look like it, Liu Yan smiled: "Little brother really didn't treat you as an outsider." I still have snacks in the car, or you should pad your stomach first. ”
Lu Yi shook his head: "I don't feel hungry, the princess doesn't want to go back to the palace, right?" ”
I didn't want to go back to the palace.
But when he asked like this, it seemed that Liu Yan didn't return to the palace specifically for him.
"Why don't you see that I'm not going back to the palace? I came out early today, and I'm tired now, and I'm about to go back. ”
