267 Invitation to the Hundred Flowers Banquet
The next day, in the courtyard in the middle of spring, the warblers sang and danced, and the sunlight shone directly into the window, through several layers of barriers, turning into rouge. Flash Dance. Outside the house, there is already early morning life, full of greenery. Beyond a wall, the room was still very quiet.
Chun Tao, who got up early, waited quietly outside the house, glared at the chirping birds fiercely, kicked them like a demonstration, and said secretly: It is a sin to let these birds cook and eat them a long time ago, disturbing the young lady's dreams.
Perhaps the sun at the end of spring was too dazzling, and the sleeping hoarfrost moved her eyelids slightly and frowned. She rolled over a little impatiently, trying to turn her back on the rays of sunlight. But the back was immediately warm again, and it was not as cold as the cold in front of him. It was uncomfortable, and it didn't take long for her to open her eyes.
The scene in front of me gradually became clear, and the ornaments in the house appeared in front of me. She looked at it in a daze, her consciousness still hazy.
After a long time, she turned back and lay on her back on the bed. She stretched out her hand to block the sun in front of her, covering the glare in front of her, like a condensed little arm as transparent as jade. After lying like this in confusion for a while, he propped up his body with his arms and shouted out of the door, "Spring Peach." ”
Chun Tao, who was standing outside, was holding a small stone in her hand at this time, ready to throw it at the tree, trying to scare the birds away. Hearing the movement in the house, her heart jumped, and she silently said, "Look," she took one last look at the lively bird, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. She opened the door and walked in, to the bedside, to dress the hoarfrost.
The sun was warm in the house.
She unfolded her clothes and put them on the body of the white frost: "Did Miss sleep well last night?" ”
White Frost stretched out her arm: "What do you mean?" What is not good? As he spoke, he had already put on one sleeve. She didn't wait for Chun Tao to reply, and then continued, "What is there that sleeps well or not, those things can make me worry." The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. I'm still afraid that they won't make it? ”
As she said this, she immediately felt a sense of kinship. She remembered the dangerous scene yesterday, her eyes dimmed, and her eyes were heavy and thoughtful.
Chun Tao didn't think so much, she was forgetful, and she lived happily. She couldn't see through the heart of the white frost, she only secretly looked at her young lady's face, and felt that the young lady's face was really good. The young lady in a gorgeous costume is even more beautiful, and she never gets tired of seeing it no matter how many times. She secretly marveled in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, for fear that the young lady would find out and laugh at her.
Chun Tao took the comb in her hand and gently slid over the three thousand green silks, as if sliding through the three thousand streams. She pulled up the white frost's hair, and looked at it from a distance like a soft and weak beauty. Flash Dance.
There was a sudden movement outside the door, but the two didn't care.
"What are your plans for today?"
It turned out that Fuliu also walked in and asked about the white frost with a smile.
"Today" stopped halfway through his words.
The white frost has not yet been thought about, and now as soon as the words come out, it is already full of thoughts. But it was not good not to answer, so I could only hesitate.
Fuliu could see her hesitation, but she only smiled, but she was not in a hurry to speak. The smile in her eyes grew deeper, but the contemplative hoarfrost had not yet been discovered.
When Bai Shuangshuang thought about how to reply to her, she looked up and was about to open her mouth, when she suddenly heard a voice outside the door: "Miss, but it's up?" ”
As soon as this question came out, the room was quite quiet. Fuliu was just smiling, and Bai Shuangshuang also saw Fuliu's expression when she looked up, at this time her face was angry after a sudden realization, and Chun Tao was about to put the comb down at this time, she didn't know what the two were doing, but she was confused.
"It turned out to be a housekeeper." White Frost immediately replied loudly. She decisively gave up the question of Fuliu and turned to walk out of the house. Fuliu stood inside the door and looked at her back, secretly amused.
Outside the door, the butler was standing in the courtyard, his hands crossed in front of him, standing respectfully, holding something in his hand.
Bai Shuangshuang greeted him and asked, "The housekeeper came over so early, I think there is something important about my father, right?" ”
"It's not too important, yesterday the palace sent the invitation to the Hundred Flowers Banquet to the house, and this one was sent to you by the master." As he spoke, the butler held the invitation card in both hands and handed it to the white frost.
"An invitation to the Hundred Flowers Banquet?" White Frost Frost bowed her head in contemplation. The steward knew that there were no words.
I have heard of this Hundred Flowers Banquet White Frost Frost for a long time. The Hundred Flowers Banquet, as the name suggests, is a banquet held by the royal family and nobles to enjoy the hundred flowers. At this time of the year, invitations from the palace will be sent to the palaces of various kings and nobles, and a few days later, the nobles and bureaucrats who got the invitations will come to the palace in horse-drawn carriages to enjoy the flowers, drink fine wine, and eat good food, which is a great event.
The time of this hundred flowers banquet is set differently every year, but it is about the same, and it is held in the season when the flowers are in full bloom. This year's Hundred Flowers Feast is scheduled for the sixth day of the next lunar month.
I heard that on that day, the Queen Mother, who was the organizer of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, would come in person, and when she sat at the head of the banquet, the Queen Mother would accompany the Queen Mother. Even the emperor will come to see the flowers in person. In order to please him, the women seek a good family affair, or attract the attention of a certain son, and they all do their best, and their talents and etiquette are all seated. If it's just to get into the eyes of those in high positions, although there will be nothing for them to help, don't just point out marriage for them at will.
It's just that since they were children, they intrigued in the mansion for the sake of seizing the heirs and status, and they calculated their scheming to the palace. It's not uncommon to make some stumbling blocks for others and make them lose face. After the Hundred Flowers Banquet in previous years, there were things about the emperor and the queen mother attacking the officials and daughters at the banquet, and it was spread among the officials.
Thinking of this, Bai Shuangshuang's mind turned, and he opened his mouth and said, "I'm not going." ”
She doesn't want to cause trouble in this life, and she doesn't want to provoke any of the things that shouldn't come. She won't see anyone she doesn't want to see.
But the housekeeper seems to have something to say. He seemed to hear that it was expected that she would not go, and the butler was more respectful. He bent down and said, "This is what the lord meant, the lord said that the young lady must go to this hundred flowers banquet." ”
Bai Shuangshuang paused, feeling a little helpless and uncomfortable, she sighed: "Do you have to go?" ”
"Yes, miss." The butler still bent respectfully. He's just here to pass the word, he doesn't know anything. "If you don't go, the lord said, he has his own way to punish you."
When Bai Shuangshuang heard this, she couldn't help but be unconvinced: "Okay, I'll definitely go." Reassure my dad. ”
When the housekeeper heard her say this, Fang relieved himself, took two steps back, and turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
After he left, the courtyard was quiet again. The birds seemed to have gone out to forage for food at this time, and there was hardly even a trace of the wind, and there was really no sound at all.
