Chapter 39: Being Jealous

If you want to say that in the Western Chu Kingdom, who can talk to Nalan Ye, the king of Chu, a little, except for His Majesty, it must belong to the crown prince Nangong Qing.

The two are the same age, one literate and one martial, although their personalities are very different, but it is rare to have a friendship, which is also why Nalan is quite pleasing to Nangong Qing at night, otherwise according to his temper, few people can get close to him.

Facing Nangong Qing's slightly ridiculous tone, Nalan Ye glanced at him coldly: "What do you think?" ”

"You're not looking at Miss Luo, are you looking at Miss Luo?" The smile in Nangong Qing's eyes flew away, and he couldn't help but tease him, an old friend who usually likes to keep a straight face: "This can't be done, Miss Luo is already married, and she is my fifth brother's concubine, oh, it seems that she is already pregnant and promoted to a side concubine." But at night, you can't be mindful of her......"

I only felt a cold gaze sweep over, Nangong Qing was overwhelmed, and he couldn't go on.

Nalan Ye only gave him a back, and he had already walked in front of him, not looking at Nangong Qing, the prince, in his eyes. The latter smiled bitterly, even he couldn't take Nalan Ye, although he was the crown prince and his status was extremely noble, but none of his other brothers were fuel-efficient lamps, and he still had to rely on Nalan Ye, but he couldn't let him be pulled over by a few brothers.

Hurriedly followed, Nangong Qing said loudly: "Night, where are you going, wait for me." ”

In addition to going to Luo Qingluan, what else will Nalan Ye do?

I thought that this flower-viewing banquet was boring, but the queen opened the phoenix mouth, and he had to give some face. Coincidentally, he actually ran into Luo Qingluan, a little wild cat, again, and Nalan Ye suddenly came to the mood.

The girl pushed the pregnant concubine of the fifth prince, or her sister into the rose bush, and walked away with a swagger, and she really had a good temper. If he didn't follow up and take a look, wouldn't he miss such an interesting scene?

Luo Qingluan, who was followed from afar, did not expect that he had fallen into Nalan Ye's sight.

The back garden is so large, all kinds of flowers and plants are in full bloom, and it is beautiful, and even the faint fragrance of flowers floats in the air. Every place is a different taste, she has only walked for a while, and has seen all kinds of chrysanthemums, sweet laurel trees, and red begonia flowers.

It is worthy of the garden in the palace, which is more than ten times larger than the back garden of her general's mansion.

Today is the queen's flower-viewing party, and the palace people also know that there will be a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles coming back, although Luo Qingluan is alone, but she is dressed in white, beautiful and beautiful, and her temperament is dusty, not only no one dares to stop her, but when she is coming, they also greet her and salute.

Originally, Luo Qingluan was still strolling around with interest, but she met four or five groups of official eunuchs one after another, all of them sneered at her coldly, although she didn't step forward to humiliate herself, but she looked at her from a distance, and the sarcasm and disdain in her eyes, as well as jealousy, quickly made her lose interest.

Vaguely, there seemed to be music coming from somewhere in front, fluttering, it sounded good, Luo Qingluan smiled, and walked in the direction where the sound came from.

Passing through the smooth bluestone path and building neat longevity pines on both sides, Luo Qingluan soon saw that the rockery in front of him seemed to be built up by a curtain and light yarn, and the eyes were colorful and full of flowers. There are still countless eunuchs and palace maids standing around, and in the middle of the front, a graceful and luxurious young woman is sitting, Luo Qingluan can't help but think, could it be that he went around to the queen's flower viewing party?

That's a coincidence, you didn't need anyone to lead the way.

Anyway, they were all here to participate in the flower viewing party, Luo Qingluan was also a little tired, walked over gently, and found an empty seat on the side to sit down. Looking at the fresh melon and fruit pastries on the table, she was not polite, picked them up and tasted them carefully, while listening to a twenty-eight girl sitting in the middle of the garden playing the piano.

The sound of the piano is like the tinkling of a stream, which is not bad, Luo Qingluan listened while eating, and finally relaxed.

After the song was finished, Shi Shiran, the girl who played the piano, stood up and saluted the queen wearing a phoenix crown in the middle, who raised her hand all over the place, and glanced at it with a smile left and right: "No courtesy, get up." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

The queen was in her early thirties, well-groomed, and looked like an ordinary young woman. The skin is fair and delicate, a pair of phoenix eyes are smiling and gentle, and there is a jade hollow beaded gold silk bracelet full of water on the wrist, which looks more dignified and generous, elegant and luxurious.

With a faint smile, she said to the girl: "You are the granddaughter of Wen Changde, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

When the girl heard this, she lowered her head and said softly; "Returning to the queen's mother, the courtiers are gentle, and the grandfather is Wen Changde, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites."

"It is worthy of being the granddaughter of the Ministry of Rites, this Pinghu Autumn Goose really played well. The sound of the piano is refreshing and atmospheric, and it is refreshing to listen to, as if the weather is a little cooler. ”

As she was talking, Queen Wang suddenly remembered something, and her face was a little more sad with a smile, and she sighed: "It's a pity, this palace remembers that my sister said in the past that Mrs. Luo of the General's Mansion plays the piano well, it is really a natural sound, it is unpleasant in the world, but this palace has not had a chance to listen to it, Mrs. Luo has already ......."

Song Guifei next to her immediately persuaded: "Sister, don't be sad, although Mrs. Luo has passed away, it is also a blessing for her to let her sister remember her like this." Today is a good day, and my sister is still happy. ”

Nodding, Queen Wang was about to say something, when she suddenly remembered and looked into the crowd: "Well, that day, His Majesty said that he wanted to see General Luo's daughter Luo Qingluan, and the palace personally asked people to send a message to the General's Mansion, I don't know Miss Na Luo today...... Have you ever been here? ”

Everyone knows that today's flower viewing party held by the queen mother is actually to choose a concubine for His Royal Highness the Prince, and all the girls who love the prince Nangong Qing are eager to show their talents, and they are eager to try to be favored by the queen mother.

Who knows, the queen mother actually talked about Luo Qingluan in public, and even His Majesty mentioned it, how to make them not jealous?

Like the queen and the queen, all the ladies and girls looked left and right one by one, and they all wanted to know how the Miss Luo in the eyes of Her Majesty the queen was overwhelmed by the country and the city.

Luo Qingluan was not mentally prepared at all, she was eating, but she didn't know that Queen Wang had attracted everyone's firepower with a word?

A few of the ladies who went to the banquet in the Five Princes' Mansion a while ago had already recognized Luo Qingluan, while the others who didn't see her were guided and noticed Luo Qingluan's side.

Today's flower viewing will be so important, related to the future fate of the daughters present, which is not to sit upright, try to be dignified and gentle, hoping that this will be favored by the queen? When everyone saw Miss Luo Er, who couldn't be found in the mouth of the queen's mother, she was actually eating in front of the public at this time, and she was holding it with her hands, and the corners of her lips were stained with some crumbs, and she suddenly showed disdain.

"This is Luo Qingluan? Miss Chang of the General's Mansion? ”

"She's so uneducated, she's so embarrassed, and her mouth is full of scum!"

"As if she hadn't eaten, she was embarrassed...... It's a shame! ”

Countless whispers rang out, and the women exchanged their heads and talked about each other. Others said it unabashedly, pointing at Luo Qingluan's face full of disgust, with a look of disdain, and the scene suddenly became noisy.

Luo Qingluan also reacted, why did so many people look at her?

She was eating quietly, what was going on?

Unconsciously, his hand also stopped, Luo Qingluan glanced at everyone's eyes, and already knew what was going on.

"Look at what?

Glancing at the green-shirted girl closest to him, Luo Qingluan finished eating the osmanthus cake in his hand, replaced it with a mille-feuille cake, and said lightly: "You want to eat it too?" If you want to eat it, take it yourself, don't look at me? ”

With a disdainful laugh, the green-shirted girl covered her mouth with a silk and said in disgust: "In the public, I am not as vulgar as your Second Miss Luo." ”

"Uneducated, living like a starving ghost." She also muttered, and turned her face away from Luo Qingluan.

Luo Qingluan didn't seem to hear these ridiculous words, and said indifferently: "Today is the flower viewing banquet held by the queen's mother, and I deliberately prepared so many exquisite pastries to entertain you, even if you don't eat it, you actually say that I am vulgar and uneducated?" Aren't you also saying that the queen mother's arrangement is not proper, and she deliberately prepared so many things to make everyone embarrassed? ”

In one sentence, all the ladies and girls changed their faces, and the button of this hat is bigger!

Eating in public is not elegant, not eating is to live up to the queen's wishes, in fact, the previous banquets were basically like this, no one cared, but this time Luo Qingluan said it, no one can find her fault.

"I, I...... How could I mean that? Don't wronged me. The green-shirted girl who spoke before panicked and was about to cry. She just wanted to lower Luo Qingluan's prestige, but she didn't know that one sentence provoked trouble and offended everyone.

At this time, Queen Wang also saw Luo Qingluan.

Who would mind this, she smiled faintly: "You are General Luo's sister-in-law, Luo Qingluan?" ”

The queen spoke, and Luo Qingluan had to stand up. After making a salute, she smiled and said: "Back to the queen's mother, courtier Luo Qingluan, this pastry is really good, which chef made it?" ”

The girls almost fainted when they heard this, this Luo Qingluan was too bold to ask the queen?

Unexpectedly, instead of getting angry, Queen Wang beckoned to her: "If you like to eat, come here, there are more here in this palace, you can try it." ”

"Okay, thank you, Queen."

Luo Qingluan was not polite, and walked to Queen Wang's side, and the palace maid immediately moved a brocade and asked her to sit down.

Such a scene didn't make the rest of the girls angry and jealous, Luo Qingluan just ate a piece of pastry, and actually sat next to the queen? I knew that they would rather eat everything on the table.

Finally, someone couldn't help it, but it was the mother of the girl who played the piano before, the daughter-in-law of the Ministry of Rites, and the wife of the deputy governor of the Inspectorate, Yu Shi Wen Kangning. Mrs. Wen got up and blessed the queen and said, "Queen Mother, the courtiers have heard Mrs. Luo play the piano before, didn't the mother say that she had never heard it before, and she was very sorry?" ”

While speaking, she glanced at Luo Qingluan, and said with a smile: "Since Miss Luo Er is the daughter of Mrs. Luo, if you want to come, you can get a little bit of your mother's talent, why don't you let Miss Luo Er play a song on the spot, let Niang Niang listen to it, and feast your ears?" ”
