Chapter 133: The Palace Banquet (II)
Huaxi glanced at Qiong Zhi suspiciously, Qiong Zhi stopped laughing, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and she squinted her eyes and glanced at Yin Chengli, "He has a habit, he likes to paint beauties, if it is you, you will suffer a few hours of sin, hehe"
Yin Chengzong also joked: "Youde's wonderful hand Danqing, I haven't seen you for a long time." I wonder if I might see you again today? ”
A unique shy smile appeared on Yin Chengli's face again, "If the girl allows it, when everyone goes to Changyin Pavilion to watch the play, they can spare some time......
"I'm looking forward to it too." The King of Thailand walked over and looked at Huaxi with a smile, as if he was expecting Huaxi to answer.
Then, King An, King Ping and Chen Hongfei also praised Yin Chengli's outstanding painting skills, and for a while they called Huaxi bad and then refused.
Huaxi subconsciously glanced at Ouyang Zheng, who had not spoken, with a silent and cold face as usual, pursed his lips slightly, and stood silently not far away looking at them.
Ouyang Zheng seemed to feel something, looked back at the flower stream, and proposed: "Today's palace banquet is full of people, I'm afraid that Youde will be difficult to meditate, why don't you make an appointment another day?" ”
Ouyang Zheng broke the siege. Huaxi couldn't help but think of that healing night...... Bowed his head and staggered Ouyang Zheng's gaze.
"Well, it's not the right day. You're going to Xiyue soon, so if you can leave me a portrait. ”
Qiong Zhi's slightly melancholy tone made Huaxi stunned for a moment, and then Huaxi greeted Yin Chengli Fufufu, "I wonder if Yin Shi will be free the day after tomorrow?" ”
Yin Chengli smiled and nodded, "It's okay today, and I'll be free the day after tomorrow." Why don't you set the place in the princess's mansion, and I will draw a portrait of you and Qiongzhi, how about it? ”
Qiong Zhi clapped his hands and said yes, and Huaxi also agreed.
Qiongzhi said that he was going to Langyuan to leave, but he saw that someone in the queen mother's palace came to report, the queen mother and the palace concubines went back to the palace to rest, the eldest princess returned to Dongwu Palace, and the noblewomen and noblewomen of the rest of the provinces were arranged to rest in Xiyuan. The King of Thailand led Yin Chengli and the others to rest in the Xianying Palace, where the King of Thailand used to live, and waited to meet the Queen Mother again in the evening.
Qiongzhi and Huaxi went to Dongwu Palace, and asked people to go to Xiyuan to inform Mu Xiangqing.
I don't know if everything didn't go well today, and the two of them were blocked by Jingfu and Jinghe.
"Sister, are you going back to Dongwu Palace?" Jinghe asked.
When Qiong Zhi saw Jingfu and Jinghe, his face smiled, ignored Jinghe's question, and said straightforwardly: "You should rest in Xiyuan at this time, why are you still wandering around?" At today's palace banquet, the inspection of the forbidden army is much stricter than in the past, don't be accidentally caught as a thief. ”
"We are no better than my sister, my sister has to rely on, how can we find a scapegoat for doing something wrong since we were a child, we don't have to be cautious when we walk in this palace, and we don't have to leave our family to ...... with our relatives" Jingfu's eyes sharpened, and he smiled mockingly, "It's a pity, some people didn't see it in Langyuan just now, Mrs. Yu came to see the Queen Mother with the child of King Chengjun." ”
Qiong Zhi's face changed slightly. Jing Fu smiled more and more happily, "The Queen Mother said, although she is a girl, she is also noble, and she wants the emperor to give her the title of county lord...... also said that Mrs. Yu has been wronged in the past few years, and she will never let her do this again, hehe Jinghe, you said that before I leave, can I see Mrs. Yu become the princess of Chengjun? ”
Ignoring Qiong Zhitieqing's face, Jing He continued: "The Queen Mother and the eldest princess are anxious about our sister Duanning's family affairs...... Sister, maybe we can drink Sister Duanning's wedding wine together."
"What did you say?" Qiong Zhi exclaimed, "Don't speculate on what the Queen Mother means, if you say the wrong thing, you will be punished."
Jingfu raised his eyebrows and said: "It's just right to be punished, and it's better than being forced to go on the road now, hehe, my sister doesn't believe what my sisters say?" However, Dongwu Palace is not far away, so my sister might as well go back and ask the eldest princess to find out if it is true or false. ”
Qiong Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't bother"
Jing Fu smiled indifferently, "Jinghe, Sister Duanning just stole it, Xu went around in circles to see a few brothers, I think I'm tired...... Let's not bother her. I'm tired too, so I'll rest later to go to the play."
Jingfu yawned, didn't even look at Huaxi, and left with Jinghe.
Huaxi squinted slightly and looked at Jingfu and Jinghe who left, but they knew Qiongzhi's whereabouts?
The matter of Jingfu and his relatives is a foregone conclusion, and tonight's palace banquet will be given another title. Looking at Jingfu's face full of resentment, she also knew that she was dissatisfied, after all, it was Qiong Zhi who was supposed to kiss her. How can a daughter with fine clothes and food be forced to leave a foreign country? Taking the opportunity to find an opportunity to suppress Qiong Zhi, seeing her depressed and guilty, I am afraid that Jingfu is the most willing thing to see now. It's just a rumor of Qiongzhi's marriage, is there her shadow in it?
Huaxi patted her shoulder and said softly: "They didn't say anything about the matter of dissipating their anger. With such vague words, who knows if there are any other accidents? Moreover, the Queen Mother did not make an order, and everything is still unknown. What is the attitude of the eldest princess towards your marriage, how can they speculate, I think you should ask the eldest princess for clarification first. As for Li Wangshi, I think the emperor announced that he was summoned back to Beijing to send off his relatives......"
Qiong Zhi was stunned and did not speak.
Huaxi sighed secretly, Qiongzhi has always been in love with Yin Chengzong, this is probably not a secret, although she has always said that she wants to let go, but today it is also duplicitous. The idea of marrying Yin Chengzong has never been broken, and the Queen Mother's attitude does not seem to be optimistic, she is afraid that it will be difficult to marry Yin Chengzong, no wonder it is so.
Qiong Zhi stood in place for a moment and took a deep breath, "You are right, even if it is true. I don't want to, and my mother won't force me."
Qiong Zhi didn't stay for a moment, and hurriedly returned to Dongwu Palace to find the eldest princess. Huaxi went to the side hall to rest. After an hour, Qiongzhi returned, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.
Huaxi cautiously tried two sentences, but Qiongzhi didn't speak, and finally hugged Huaxi and cried.
"What's wrong?" Huaxi gently stroked Qiongzhi's back and asked, Qiongzhi just cried, muttering that he didn't know what to say.
Huaxi listened carefully, and only then did she realize that Qiongzhi had been saying, "I don't want to marry Youde......"
Huaxi has the impression that Yin Chengzong often shows people with a lazy appearance, but Huaxi always feels that there is no warmth in his smile...... In addition, the Yu family and the Yang family are not ordinary women, and Qiongzhi, who was born in the royal family, may not lose when she falls into the inner house to compete for favor, but she may not be able to get the return she wants. Besides, he doesn't seem to be an idle county king who doesn't care about himself as he seems......
Huaxi sighed and said, "King Chengjun is not a good person, why are you bothering?" He's not the kid you climbed the wall to see the flowers with when you were a kid, but he already has a concubine and a ......."
Qiong Zhi's body stiffened, and after a while, he suddenly let go of Huaxi's embrace, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "You didn't remind me, but I forgot...... Maybe it wasn't possible before, but ...... Anyway, my mother didn't help me, so I found another way to bring water to wash my face and bring a new piece of clothing. ”
Huaxi didn't know what method Qiongzhi had come up with, and she always felt that there was something strange about her change, but she didn't know what to do.
The palace maid quickly fetched water as Qiong Zhi ordered, Qiong Zhi changed her clothes, washed her face and makeup, and then got up to leave.
"Where are you going? After a while, the eldest princess asked how to answer? Huaxi intuitively felt that Qiongzhi was going to find Yin Chengzong.
Qiong Zhi patted Huaxi soothingly, "Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion, my mother asked, you said that I went to find Lu Sanniang to talk, and I will go directly to Changyin Pavilion later." ”
