Chapter 55: Natural Predators
Luo Ziyan didn't have a lot of heart to clean up today, wearing a small jacket of Ninglan antique satin placket, woven in silver, the shallow and deep lines are more exquisite, and the cover is a light rose-colored cloud gauze as thin as cicada wings.
The hair is delicately twisted and twisted, suspended on the top, which is even more misty, and there are also five golden hairpins inlaid with red gems at the sideburns.
"Sister, you really love to make fun of your sister, you have entered the palace, be careful that the emperor falls in love with your sharp mouth." Luo Ziyan lowered her fan-like eyelashes and laughed.
"My sister is so bad." Qin Luofei was angry and tickled Luo Ziyan's itch, so shocked that Luo Ziyan hid behind Qin Luoyu, and taught Qin Luofei not to start.
"Sister Qin is so beautiful and moving, I feel sorry for her!" Although Luo Ziyan didn't like Qin Luoyu's personality, she was impressed by her beauty. No wonder she is an outstanding beauty in Yan Kingdom, few of the show girls present can compare with her, and she is rarely favored by the emperor after entering the palace.
Although I don't like it, I have to entertain a few words, and when I enter the palace in the future, I still have to get along, and I can't stiffen the relationship.
"Sister, she is also beautiful." Qin Luoyu is rarely willing to praise people.
"My sister wishes my sister grace first." Luo Ziyan looks well-behaved and speaks calmly, so much so that Qin Luoyu has a good impression of Luo Ziyan, much better than her good sister.
"My sister is really joking, although my sister is a little beautiful, but other show girls are also beautiful." Qin Luoyu had a proud smile on his lips, obviously conceited and beautiful, but his words were modest.
Luo Ziyan didn't understand the truth, but she didn't break it.
Luo Ziyan secretly said in her heart: This person is still too hypocritical to make more friends.
Luo Ziyan was about to turn her head to chat with Qin Luofei when she saw a carriage stop beside the three of them.
The three of them saw that the carriage had a good Ruan Yanluo with a single curtain, and there were two precious glass lanterns hanging next to the car, and the little guy who drove the carriage was also gorgeously dressed, so they paid attention first. I saw two attendant little maids lift the curtain and help out a delicate and tender Allure beauty from inside.
Her eyes are like deep springs, indescribably charming and good-looking, the standard goose egg face, with those seductive eyes, is extremely beautiful.
The beauty wrapped her fingers around the embroidered handkerchief, and a pair of watery eyes looked forward to the brilliance, and she glanced at everyone lightly before getting out of the carriage.
This woman is very eye-catching, and she has never seen her at the party of the young lady of your family.
The woman wears a cloisonnΓ© gold ancient satin top, wrapped in a jade brocade candied silk skirt, and the subtleties of the skirt are embroidered with fine silver silk threads to make five-color moire, which is delicate and beautiful, and makes a woman's pretty face more beautiful and moving.
"That's a big score." Qin Luoyu frowned, and his ink pupils showed a trace of resentment.
Beauty and beauty seem to be born as natural enemies.
Qin Luofei was a little curious.
Whose boudoir is this woman, she is scheming, and she can calm down, so beautiful, she refuses to let outsiders know in advance, which is really kind.
Luo Ziyan saw that Qin Luoyu didn't like to see this woman, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Sister, this woman is so beautiful and beautiful, I don't know whose daughter it is, why have I never seen it." β
Qin Luoyu sketched a touch of sarcasm on his lips, seeing that the appearance of the woman in front of him was not under him, he was already uncomfortable in his heart, and seeing the woman so pretentious, he was too late, and he didn't like it, so he snorted coldly: "Who else?" Du Chengcheng's granddaughter Du Chengcheng. β
Qin Luofei had already guessed that this woman might be Du Qingcheng, who was as famous as Qin Luoyu, and her beauty was really not under Qin Luoyu, and her temperament and bearing were even higher than Qin Luoyu.
The Du family is really a family, and it is different from everyone else.
"I heard that she is the niece of the Queen Mother, from Princess Nanyang, the emperor's cousin." Qin Luofei bit his red lips lightly, playing with the Yunjin silk handkerchief in his hand, and a playful smile flashed in his eyes.
"So what, the emperor may not favor her." Qin Luoyu glanced at the man with cold eyes and said disdainfully.
Du Chengcheng vaguely heard Qin Luoyu's cold snort, his eyes moved slightly, his lips smiled, and he walked towards the two of them with two close-fitting girls, Jinlan and Jinmei.
Along the way, other show girls made way for her.
This year's show girls are illustrious in many years, but there are few proud women like Du Chengcheng after all.
Who doesn't know that the old queen mother only has one princess Nanyang, and Du Chengcheng is the mother's family of the current queen mother, I'm afraid that the general princely family can't compare.
Among the show girls present, half of Qin Luofei had met them at the last party, and a few of them were the daughters of the foreign ministers' families, but they had never met before, but looking at the clothes, it was not bad to want to come to the family.
Luo Ziyan and Qin Luofei saw that Du Qingcheng was actually walking towards them, and secretly laughed that she was not convinced by the second lady of the Qin family in her heart. Thinking of this, Luo Ziyan and Qin Luofei retreated slightly, and went to talk to other show girls.
Who knew that Du Chengcheng actually skipped Qin Luoyu and walked to Luo Ziyan and Qin Luofei, raised his eyes and said, "You are Qin Luoyu's sister!" The faint tone exuded a sense of luxury.
Qin Luoyu looked at Du Tingcheng in surprise, she didn't come to find herself, she was looking for that stupid sister, it was clear that her sister didn't know Du Tingcheng just now.
Qin Luofei was also slightly surprised, how could Du Qingcheng talk to him.
Du Chengcheng stepped forward, and the jade ring on his waist made a subtle collision sound, crisp and sweet. She took Qin Luofei's hand, pursed her lips and said, "I've wanted to know my sister for a long time, but it's a pity to see you today." β
"I have long heard of my sister's reputation as the first beauty, and when I see it today, I really fall into the city and the country, and I feel sorry for it." Qin Luofei's words were neither serious nor light, but they made the surrounding show girls hear in their ears.
Several women who are interested in Du Chengcheng now understand that this woman is the beauty Du Chengcheng who is as famous as the second lady of the Qin family, the niece of the Queen Mother, and the daughter of Prime Minister Du Chengcheng.
This woman is also smart, and she understands the thoughts of the people around her in a blink of an eye, but she is proud of herself, where to put everyone in her eyes. The corners of his mouth hooked up a shallow smile, like a poppy, and said: "My sister said that I laughed, my sister only has empty skin, and my sister is smart and likable." β
Qin Luofei is not a person who can speak well, he was inexplicably entangled, biting his lower lip slightly, and said lightly: "Sister is really joking, sister is just a fool." β
Du Chengcheng's eyes also looked at Qin Luofei slightly, although she is not the beauty of the country and the city, but her face is the kind of pleasing melon seed face, and her skin is also delicate and shiny, as if she can pinch out water, and there are two shallow dimples on her cheeks, which is even more lovely when she smiles.
She should be a smart woman who knows her strengths. She is not suitable for gaudy makeup, her hair is pulled into spiral sideburns, light and dexterous, and the hairpin is inlaid with five hairpins inlaid with pearls the size of this finger.
People dress up luxuriously but refined.
Although her face was slightly inferior to Qin Luoyu next to her, Du Qingcheng saw that her momentum was self-contained, and he knew that it was not difficult for her to be selected into the harem. Moreover, the Queen Mother and the Emperor both made a decree to let her enter the palace, and being able to do this is a rare smart woman.
The Queen Mother loves euphemistic women the most, and a woman like Qin Luofei can just get into the eyes of the Queen Mother.
It's no wonder that her mother let herself envelop her, she must have a smart helper in the harem, the important thing is that Qin Luofei's mother's family is involved with their Du family, and it is said that it is a family.
My cousin blindly pampered Concubine Leng and refused to listen to her grandmother's words, although she was conceited and beautiful, but Concubine Leng was not a vegetarian, and she heard that she had good means. She really didn't have a little confidence in her heart, she needed a good helper in the palace.
Although Qin Luoyu was beautiful, she couldn't look down on her. Thinking about what kind of person Concubine Leng is, where can she fight, she must be cautious and cautious, and she can't follow in the footsteps of Queen Leng.
"Sister, let's get closer to each other in the palace in the future." Du Chengcheng was entangled with Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei only dealt with it lightly, seeing that Du Qingcheng's behavior was not a weak one, it was good for himself like this, what did Bacheng have in mind, how could he make her wedding dress, she was really a good idea.
"It's coming, it's coming." I don't know who shouted, but I saw that the palace gate with nine horizontal and ninety-one doors was pushed open by four guards wearing silver armor, and out of the palace came an old eunuch wearing a red palace uniform, four grandmothers, and ten beautiful palace maids in Yishui palace clothes.
Ten little palace maids lined up, two old ladies stood on both sides, and the old eunuch walked towards the show girl with a respectful face, and said, "The time has come for the nobles to enter the palace." β
All the show goddesses were in love, with joy and worry on their faces.
"Miss." Xi Ju looked at her young lady with blank eyes, and at this moment she felt like she was parting from life and death.
Qin Luofei shook Xi Ju's hand and commanded in a low voice, "You are so good and wait for me with Zi Yuan." After I am selected, I will naturally send someone to take you two into the palace. β
Xi Ju nodded, but Zi Yuan was indifferent to her.
"Purple Mandarin, don't you want to be missed?" Xi Ju cried and raised her head to look at the purple mandarin.
Zi Yuan glanced at Xi Ju helplessly, and said lightly: "You have to believe in Miss, she will definitely be selected, and we will be able to see Miss soon." β
The show girls lined up in two lines, and as the old eunuch walked towards the palace, ten palace maids lined up on both sides to accompany them.
Qin Luofei and Luo Ziyan stood in the middle, and Du Qingcheng was naturally ranked first.
This arrangement is based on the official position of the father and brother.
Everyone looked at the towering palace wall, thinking that once they entered the palace gate, they might never see their father and mother, and a trace of sadness welled up in their hearts, and a few eye circles were slightly red.
Walk along the long palace wall to the south, walk through a towering palace gate, and a narrow palace wall, the show girls are the first time to enter the palace, all curious to look around, the palace maid next to him whispered a reminder, not to exceed the rules.
The scene in the palace is really different from the outside, the towering palace walls, the white as jade railings, and the golden eaves and warped walls all show the royal style and solemnity.
The palace maids who are selected will be arranged in the Takihide Pavilion on the inner side of the imperial garden, waiting for the internal selection on the second day.
All the show girls walked with sore legs and feet, only to see the east gate of the imperial garden, and when they entered the imperial garden, the eyes of all the show girls were full of surprise. They are all from everyone's background, and they are used to seeing glory, but they are still stunned when they see the scenery of the imperial garden.
This imperial garden is full of strange flowers and trees, strange rocks, small pavilions all over, and there is a mountain of piled stones, there is a delicate and peculiar spire pavilion on the mountain, not to mention the rare varieties of flowers and colors in the imperial garden, which have never been seen before.
