Chapter 100: The Green-Eyed Boy VS Jiu Niangniang
Chapter 100 Green-eyed Boy V Jiu Niangniang
Qi Zhen and Qing Dai were in the corner, watching the girls compete for beauty, tasting whose flowers were good and whose flowers were good, seeing the sun getting higher and higher, but still not seeing the shadow of the main family. Qi Zhen watched the sun rise and complained: "When will this Laoshizi's spring appreciation party end?" β
As soon as the words fell, the maid came to sing harmony, and the princess and the ladies arrived.
"I've kept you girls waiting." Princess Qi said two polite words, only that the leader of today's spring appreciation has been agreed, "The girls have come here from the East Flower Pavilion, and the ladies have already seen them one by one. β
The princess put on the color head, and the three maids walked up with a wooden tray in their hands, covered with red silk, and no one knew what the color head below was, which caused everyone to speculate.
Princess Qi's gaze swept around the courtyard, and she smiled and said to everyone: "Today's leader is the fifth girl of the Zhou family of the Hanlin Academy, and the color head is a dragon and phoenix sheep fat jade pendant. β
Zhou Cuiniang walked to the top under the envious gaze of everyone, took the jade pendant handed by Princess Qi, and pinned it to her waist after thanking her.
"It's so dangerous, I really chose the 'Capture Cui', if it weren't for your help, this flower would have fallen on my head today." Qi Zhen held Qing Dai's hand, and her eyes were full of jΔ« to look at Qing Dai, looking like she was sobbing at her. The corners of Qing Dai's mouth twitched, "Okay, okay, you still say these kind words to me." β
As she spoke, Zhou Cuiniang walked down from above, and Qing Dai's eyes fell on the dragon and phoenix pendant on her waist, and she stopped for a long time.
"What are you looking at?" Qi Zhen leaned over and asked.
Qing Dai pointed to the jade pendant on Zhou Danniang's waist and raised her eyebrows, "Dragon and phoenix mutton fat jade, jade sΓ¨ is warm, I'm afraid this jade pendant is not from the princess's hand." β
"Why?" Qi Zhen looked curious, Qing Dai knocked on Qi Zhen's forehead, "Stupid, the palace silk above is bright and yellow, how many Dahua dare to use this Yan sΓ¨?" β
Qi Zhen was taken aback, secretly glanced at the side, and whispered, "You mean someone from the palace?" β
"Maybe ......"
"That Duocui is in the greenhouse, if it is not chosen, then will this color be given? Or was the leader predetermined? β
Qing Dai looked at Qi Zhen with white eyes, who can guess the meaning in this palace? Duocui, listening to the name, you also know that the meaning is different, and today's strange reaction of Zhou Danniang, and later Li Yu's sudden appearance, just shows that there must be something wrong with the pot of Duocui.
"Will you choose Cui Niang to kiss?"
"I don't know." Qing Dai couldn't figure it out, "Zhou Danniang, she pulled you to jump into the pit, she must be a shield for her sister-in-law, you didn't see her hear Cui Niang's expression in the greenhouse, and she didn't want the Zhao family to come out on top, it must be a glory to win the cui, but it may not be what the family wants." However, it may not sound like that is what King Chung and the prince said...... Maybe I'll want to ...... more."
Although Zhou Cuiniang took the lead, Zhao Yuzhi did not fall behind, and the granddaughter of the right deputy imperial envoy Wang's family was hit by Tanhua. And in the end, at the award ceremony, Zhou Danniang did not appear.
A spring appreciation party ended, Qingdai only felt that she could catch up with the beauty pageant in the palace, as for the final destination of these beauties, only God knows.
Coming out of Qushui Garden, Qingdai and Qingwei wanted to go to Wupinzhai to buy snacks, and Qi Zhenfei followed to treat them. Someone paid for it, but anyway, Qingdai was at ease with this gift, so the three of them walked outside the garden.
On the way, Qi Zhen thought of Cui Niang, who was smiling like a flower, and sighed, "Aren't you messing with your relatives?" Why do you have to ask a woman to kiss? Can't they send a princess to marry? β
Qingwei said: "If you don't start fighting, then no one will have to marry." β
"Between countries, that's not a matter of saying that if you don't fight, you won't fight." Qingdai mΕ mΕ Qingwei's head, "Beihu nomads are born, they are not good at farming and weaving, and the geographical environment is not suitable for farming. This kind of custom cannot be changed overnight. They want supplies, food, and feed people, so they naturally come to loot, and disturb the border at two ends for three days, making you trouble. Although Dahua is strong, it is not good at riding and fighting, and it is impossible to fight Beihu once without respite, or even eat Beihu. β
"So, the two families can only fight a small fight, and they are impatient after two years of fighting, and if they have a big fight, whoever wins can put forward the conditions. It is not the common people who suffer from the war, and the peace and pro-armistice can rest and recuperate with the people. In some cases, harmony is a good strategy. You look at those who have been close throughout the ages, which is not two families and no one can swallow anyone, and they don't want to fight, and then they have the upper hand to marry their daughters and sons-in-law, and send their sons as hostages in the weak, and send some beautiful jewelry as gifts, in exchange for a few years or even more than ten years of Guan He Ningding, as for which one is stronger and which is weaker in the future...... Only God knows......"
"Hey, don't say it, it's really this reason!" Qi Zhen nodded suddenly, and looked at Qing Dai with adoring stars, "Qing Dai, if you are a man, I will marry you!" β
Qi Zhen joked, and Qingwei coaxed, "Well, if the third sister is a man, I will marry too." β
"you! I don't look at the time, so I just talk nonsense. Qing Dai glared at the two girls who were laughing and giggling, and walked forward.
"Stingy, people and Qingwei didn't say that like this because of your relatives."
"Yes, third sister, you can't leave me."
Qing Dai turned her head and snorted lightly, "Look at the sun, if you don't leave, you won't be able to catch up with the last furnace of hibiscus sΕ«, and I will call the coachman to drive the car away as soon as I arrive, and you two will walk back by yourself." β
"Don't mind, wait for us!"
Qi Zhen and Qingwei snickered, and then chased after them.
The three of them ran away, no one saw it, and there were two young men standing outside the bamboo forest at the other end of the fork in the road, one was wearing a white ground and blue silk embroidered Wufu holding a longevity pattern robe, gentle and handsome like a fairy in the sky, and the other was wearing a silver silk beast head pattern Xuanyi, uninhibited and arrogant like a hell god. Suddenly, the breeze in the forest blows, a black and a white clothes fluttering, two fluttering figures printed in the verdant jade, suddenly I don't know whether it is a person into the painting, or the painting for life, so that occasionally see this picture people can't help but stop and linger.
The two watched the three of them leave, and they didn't retract their eyes for a long time, and they didn't know whether they were thinking or watching the scenery, not far from them on the main road, the graceful posture of the girls who occasionally passed by or the inadvertent charming eyes flew obliquely, which never attracted the attention of the two.
For a long time, the man in white didn't know what to think, Danfeng's eyes were full of smiles, "Since she was a child, she has an idea, a set of reasons, but she can't find anything wrong." β
The eyebrows of the man in Xuanyi moved slightly, and the tails of his beautiful eyes were raised upward, "She looks so cute, full of ghost eyes, and she is the most crooked." β
The two glanced at each other, and the inexplicable momentary light seemed to carry scattered sparks.
"Brother Hua has not yet married a wife in the year of the weak crown, and the princess and the marquis must be anxious when they want to come. As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, although the elder brother has the ambition of Lingyun to serve the country, he should also take into account the thoughts of the two elders. Listening to Brother Hua's tone, he prefers gentle women, the girl of the Zhang family is said to be a dignified and virtuous woman, Brother Hua gave up Miss Zhang's urgent request, I don't know which girl won the favor of Brother Hua? β
"Brother Yu Xian, although I said that I started a family and started a business, but I am the youngest son, and there is an elder brother in the family who inherits the family business, and I want to start a family again. Don't hide it from the virtuous brother, I am a heavy murderer, I don't believe in fate but believe in fate. The word fate is quite mysterious, and all beings are equal in front of it. Having a share of fate is a matter of course, and having a share of fate is just in vain. Even if I don't marry in this life, I will marry the person I want to marry. β
The man in white was indifferent, and the smile of the chΓΊn horn was undiminished.
The Xuanyi people are still cold, and the persistence in their eyes has not disappeared.
"It's not early, the younger brother is going home, and he will get together again in the future."
"Okay, I've made an appointment with an old friend too, and I'll talk about it another day."
The two looked at each other and hugged their fists to say goodbye, and the two figures, one black and one white, disappeared by the bamboo forest.
β¦β¦
On the first day of March, Zhou Kang was promoted to the Ministry of Officials, plus a young master, and a scholar of the Zhidian University. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the envoy of Beihu came to Beijing in May to congratulate the emperor on his birthday.
On the tenth day of the first month of March, Zhou Cuiniang, the second daughter of Zhou Kangyan, entered the palace with the eldest sister Concubine Qi Wang to meet the Queen Mother. On the same day, Princess Ning also brought her sister Zhao Yuzhen into the palace to pay respects, and three days later, Zhao Yuzhen was carried into the Zhongwang Mansion.
On March 20, the emperor decreed that Zhou Cuiniang was crowned as the princess of Huayang and given to live in Shoukang Palace.
When Qing Dai got the news, she was already twenty-two, and Qi Zhen rushed to Shangguan Mansion to tell her.
"Thanks to you this time, otherwise ......" Qi Zhen grabbed Qing Dai's hand and looked a little moved, "I will definitely repay you well in the future!" β
Qing Dai shook her head, "What great grace?" Maybe the emperor wanted Zhou Cuiniang to kiss in the early days, and the flower might be a gimmick. We weren't afraid of 10,000 at that time, just in case, just pay more attention. β
"I think Zhou Danniang got the news in advance, and Zhou Cuiniang and I are both candidates, so I was pulled into the pit." Originally, Qi Zhen thought it was a coincidence, but Zhou Cuiniang was really named a princess, so she was a little scared and insisted that Qingdai's original decision was extremely wise.
Qing Dai chuckled, "Okay, it's over." No matter what her idea is Zhou Danniang, in short, you don't have to kiss, and you can completely put your heart in your stomach. β
"Uh-huh-" Qi Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief, "Thank you so much!" β
"Alright!" Qingdai stopped Qi Zhen from saying those words of thanks, and said, "My second sister will get married tomorrow, do you want to give me some makeup?" By the way, give me a thank you gift, and I will not refuse to come. β
Qi Zhen was angry when she mentioned Qinglian, "Add makeup, it's not a red makeup wedding, it's just a concubine, what should I give?" It's good that I didn't settle accounts with her. Thanks to your good spleen, I still think about adding makeup to her. I didn't take your thank you gift with me in a hurry, so I'll send someone to bring it to you tomorrow. Catch up and know that you want to get married, and I will give you a big seal, and I will ensure that there is enough weight. β
"Laughing with you, you're serious!" Qingdai chuckled, "After all, it's my second sister, so I naturally have to give it to add makeup, and there are many places to use money in the palace...... On the day of appreciating the spring, I saw four beautiful women with their own merits, and my second sister's life in the future will be much more interesting than in my mother's house. β
Qi Zhen looked at Qingdai with crooked smiling eyes, the light in her eyes flashed brightly, and she pretended to sigh: "She will ask for more blessings in the future, and she will mourn and change!" βROοΌγ
