Chapter 73: The Reception Feast 1

got off the sedan chair in front of the dismounted monument, and it was the little eunuch who came to welcome everyone in this time. Thinking that this person was Gu Jiming's person, Jiang Cailing couldn't help but glare at him, if he hadn't talked too much, Gu Jiming would not have discovered her flaws so early.

The little eunuch was still so arrogant as if it was the first time, holding his shoulders, as if sending off the plague god, he lowered his head and quickly guided everyone to the feast along the way.

The sun was just right, and compared to the crispness of the previous few days, today's weather was extremely hot, causing everyone's foreheads to be covered with light sweat. Jiang Cailing felt that it was okay, the Luo skirt of the silk seemed to have a cooling function, and she didn't feel a trace of stuffiness.

Jiang Cailing's family went late, and when they looked at it from a distance, they saw Qian Lan, who was dressed in pink, was particularly eye-catching in the crowd, pink from beginning to end, and she would not feel tacky with her pretty face, adding a touch of innocence.

Qian Lan was surrounded by a group of noble girls, discussing the problems of the girls.

"Lan'er, your nails look so good, where did you buy the dye?"

"You're thinner than years ago, so envious, how did you do it!"

Qian Lan answered every question with a smile, and said with a faint pride, "This is what my uncle brought back from the Chu State, and unlike the Kodan I made by mashing impatiens, my color is more bright, and there are also many medium colors, if you like to come to my house." Also, I've gained a lot of weight, and the belly pockets that I could wear before are now a little crowded. ”

One of the noble girls covered her lips and chuckled, "Where is the fat, Lan'er has grown up!" ”

Then there was a coquettish voice between the nobles, the silver bell-like voice attracted everyone, Wang Yilang happened to pass by, and when he saw the pink Qian Lan, he couldn't help but step forward and said with a smile: "Sister Lan'er, I haven't seen you for a few months and has become beautiful again." ”

Wang Yilang was wearing a azure wide-sleeved brocade robe, lined with jade trees in the wind, and his literary quality was polite.

Qian Lan responded with a smile, "Brother Lang is making fun of Lan'er again, it's really bad." ”

When Wang Yilang was about to continue greetings, his eyes swept to the door, and suddenly saw a bright color, only to see that under the shade of the big tree, Jiang Cailing's plain white skirt was like snow in winter, which made people feel refreshed when they looked at it in this hot weather, and the transparent butterfly wings at the skirt revealed the breath of a girl, which was particularly conspicuous among the female dependents of the warbler Yanyan.

Qian Lan saw that Wang Yilang was stunned, and when she looked back, she saw Jiang Cailing standing in the shade of the tree. A trace of resentment flashed in her beautiful eyes: This surnamed He is really ghostly, seducing Gu Xiang in a daze, and now Wang Yilang, who has always been devoted to her, also looked at her stunned.

This white dress looked very gloomy, Qian Lan flashed a spiritual light in her mind, and then her pink lips raised a smug smile, and she moved to Jiang Cailing's side with elegant steps like a lotus.

"Sister Ling'er, you're here!" Qian Lan affectionately pulled Jiang Cailing's sleeves, and was reluctant to let go after touching the feel of the cloth, this material was very smooth, softer than silk, and she couldn't help but feel jealous in her heart, why could this slut have such good material?

Jiang Cailing was reluctant to play this sisterhood with Qian Lan, most of the people present were clear-eyed people, and they didn't know who to show for such a cozy attitude, so they just raised the corners of their lips, "Hmm." ”

Qian Lan saw Jiang Cailing's indifferent face, and her delicate beauty showed an aggrieved look, "I know that Sister Ling'er is still complaining about my Daqing Temple, but Lan'er is just concerned about the chaos, and she doesn't have bad intentions." My sister thinks of me like this, then I really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away. ”

Qian Lan's voice was not loud, but she mentioned the three words Daqing Temple, and everyone present knew what happened in Daqing Temple, so they all calmed down and pricked up their ears to pay attention to what was happening here.

"Miss Qian can't understand what Ling'er said, it's your personal maid who doesn't know how to inspect and behave, what does it have to do with Miss Qian?"

Qian Lan looked innocent and smiled sweetly, "It's great that my sister isn't angry, Lan'er has always been worried that my sister will misunderstand Lan'er after hearing some words!" But why is Sister Ling'er dressed in plain white, as if she is wearing mourning clothes, today is the day when King Fuyuan returns to Beijing, and my sister is only afraid that it will cause King Fuyuan to be unhappy when she wears it like this! ”

At this time, everyone also noticed Jiang Cailing's clothes, wearing plain clothes on the big day would indeed make the owner feel bad.

Jiang Cailing frowned, and said loudly: "Miss Qian said cautiously, King Fuyuan and the current saint are the most favored princes of the previous emperor, and they are brothers who have played well since childhood. ”

Jiang Cailing's words praised Guo Ang and Guo Yao's benevolence, and reminded those who have a provocative heart that they have always been brothers, breaking bones and connecting tendons.

"Sister Ling'er!" A childish voice came, and Jiang Cailing looked for the sound and saw Wang Wei'er with a double-ring bun jumping into her arms, her pink and tender little face turned red because of the hot weather, just like a female doll in a New Year's painting.

Jiang Cailing raised a real smile, leaned down and looked at Wang Wei'er at eye level, "Wei'er is so good-looking today!" ”

Wang Wei'er's round face raised a smile, and she pulled Jiang Cailing and was about to walk towards the seat of the banquet.

The sun is in full bloom, Jiang Cailing walked out of the shade, the original transparent butterfly pattern at the skirt suddenly brightened, the sun reflected the gorgeous color, just when people will be nostalgic for the beauty of the previous color, the next color broke into the field of vision, the same gorgeous beauty, the floating bright butterfly added a touch of brightness, everyone looked at this scene in amazement, and even forgot to breathe.

"It's so pretty, what kind of material! It must be expensive! ”

"If the whole body is covered with this kind of material, I'm afraid it will look tacky, but with this plain snow-white clothes, it looks even more fairy."

"I can't help but want to chant a poem in this situation, I can't wake up drunk and awake, and I dream of looking for flowers for butterflies."

There were praise after praise from the crowd, Jiang Cailing didn't like this feeling very much, if she had known that this dress would bring so much trouble, it would be better to wear the old palace dress before, so she opened her mouth and explained, "It's not a precious material, it's just someone else's gift." ”

Qian Lan looked at Jiang Cailing's skirt intently, her eyes were full of envy, she heard Wang Yilang's praise, her eyes were full of resentment, obviously she was the focus of everyone's attention just now, but Jiang Cailing's appearance took away all her brilliance!

It's just a piece of clothing, what is there to show off!

At this moment, another person stepped through the vermilion gate and walked in, and everyone looked at it, and everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Because this is a family banquet, officials are not required to wear official uniforms, so Gu Jiming is wearing casual clothes, a silkworm white dress is very similar to Jiang Cailing's style, and the sachet material worn on his waist is the same as the clothing of Jiang Cailing's skirt, reflecting the color of the sun.

Only then did Jiang Cailing know what Gu Jiming's idea was, sending the palace costume was a disguise, and it was true that this palace costume matched his clothes very well.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that a smile that can see through it does not say anything appears on his face, and they all say that Gu Xiang loves Miss He very much, which seems to be true. And the clothes that Jiang Cailing said just now were given by someone else, and it seems that the person who sent the clothes is Master Gu!

Qian Lan couldn't wait to tear Jiang Cailing's face on the spot at this time, why! Why could Jiang Cailing, who was not as good as her, be so favored by Gu Jiming! It's all that face, Qian Lan stared at Jiang Cailing's face resentfully, and saw the occasional swarm of bees flying around the flowers not far away, and a sinister smile hung on her lips.

Wang Yilang looked at Gu Jiming and Jiang Cailing standing together, and complicated emotions surged inexplicably in her heart, Wang Weier looked at her brother who lowered her head and couldn't help but pout, she liked Sister Ling'er very much, and didn't want Sister Ling'er to marry someone else.

When the hour came, with the eunuch's voice of "The Holy Lord has arrived, the King of Fuyuan has arrived", everyone knelt on the ground and shouted three long live.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat, today is mainly to celebrate the return of King Fuyuan to Beijing, you don't have to be formal!"

"Yes!"

Guo Yao is wearing a plain brocade robe today, wheat's complexion and sturdy physique are particularly conspicuous among the hundred officials in Luoyang, and He Xiaoxiao, who entered the palace with Jiang Cailing today, He Xiaoxiao's eyesight is very good, and he can see the man sitting in a high position from a distance.

Thick eyebrows and big eyes, wheat complexion, tall figure.

It overlapped so much with the dream that she could barely tell if it was a dream or reality.

"Ah Xiao, what's wrong?" Jiang Cailing noticed He Xiaoxiao's strange appearance and couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, it's probably the first time I've seen Long Yan, and I'm a little nervous."

Jiang Cailing nodded.

The main meal at the feast will be held on time at Shen Shi, and before that, Guo Ang continued the process of Jiang Cailing when he was alive - flower appreciation.

The flowers in the palace are always a little more delicate than the wild flowers and grasses bought outside the palace, and under the careful cultivation of craftsmen, those delicate but extremely gorgeous flowers also bloom in groups.

Jiang Cailing likes to raise flowers, two years ago when the envoys from the Western Regions came, they left more than ten kinds of flowers, which were originally not suitable for planting in Luoyang, but under Jiang Cailing's careful cultivation, twelve kinds of exotic flowers and plants are still in full bloom in spring, and she can't remember how the flowers are named in the Western Regions, so they are collectively called the twelve Jiaoke.

She has never been treated gently in her life, so she has enough patience with this delicate flower.

"This is the twelve coquettish guests, and it really deserves its name, my mother told me that the Empress Dowager Jiang is very powerful, although she is a woman, but it supports half of the Great Zhou!"

Jiang Cailing's heart moved, it turned out that there were still people behind her who could praise her like this.

Jiang Cailing smiled, it didn't hurt for Wang Wei to talk about it, but if someone heard it, it might not be good for the Wang family, so she leaned down and made a silent gesture, "Promise my sister, don't tell outsiders casually in the future!" ”

Wang Wei'er threw herself into Jiang Cailing's arms with a smile, "Sister Ling'er is not an outsider!" In the future, I want to be Wei'er's sister-in-law! ”

These words were unfortunately heard by Gu Jiming, who was passing by, and a pair of inky black eyes surged with unknown emotions......
