Chapter 058: Stopping the Clouds and Flying Flowers
Neem flowers. The fragrance is fine.
"The clouds and clouds have been summer several times, and the flying flowers have stopped the gimbal."
The handwriting is beautiful, and there is a hidden fragrance of flowers. The pattern is elegant and refined, and the payment is Princess Fengyang.
The invitation was sent by Yuran. has a short time with the birthday banquet and congratulatory gifts before, although Yuran is not like Li Yan, she doesn't want to sharpen her head all the time and want to drill into Qingli Courtyard, but she is no longer as restrained as before. Although it's not self-acquainted, it can be said that I think the relationship between them is quite harmonious.
"Mother, do you want to go? If you don't go, the concubine will refuse. ”
"What is this?"
After a brief explanation, Yuran took out a book. "This is sorted out by the concubine, I hope Niangniang can use it."
Xun Yu glanced at her lightly.
After the palace banquet, Yuran wilted for a while. When it reappeared, it was more calm and low-key than before, and the attitude was cautious and dignified, which was very natural, no longer as before, always with a bit of deliberate taste. But for others, there is no difference, and only people like Xun Yu who are keen to observe can detect it.
Nowadays, even Xun language is difficult to see.
Xun Yu replied lightly.
Yuran wasn't quite sure what she meant, "Then the concubine went to prepare?" ”
Xun Yu looked at the invitation and didn't raise his head to say "um".
***
Jixia is another name for June, and every month, the nobles who have always been leisurely will gather in Suyuntai to take the famous wine "Yunxia" as the note, and fly the flower order. There is no reward for the leader, but there is a reward for him.
Located in the East Garden in the north of the city, Suyuntai is a place where people with noble status often go to elegance, and it is also a place where many literati desperately want to squeeze in. Whether it is a scribe or a vassal elegance, over time, being able to sleep in the snow and sleep in the clouds and chant in the wind and the moon has become a symbol of status.
I don't know who gave this assembly an alias: Stopping the Clouds and Flying Flowers.
Initially, participation was limited to women. Later, men of the same status and knowledge can be invited to come and watch.
Summer has not yet arrived, and the sun is warm.
By the time Xun Yu arrived, the stop cloud platform had gathered countless talented and beautiful people. Although they are not dressed up, they also have their own characteristics. It seems that everyone has made an appointment in advance, and even if the color of the clothes is not collided.
At a glance, the crowd is not competing for beauty, and there is also an undercurrent.
Xun Yu is dressed in a plain white shirt, regardless of clothing, makeup, and accessory patterns, they can only be described as light. Fortunately, she has an outstanding temperament, excellent appearance, unpolished, and self-glamorous.
Princess Fengyang wore a moon-white flowing cloud moon-patterned skirt, with wide sleeves and silver threads, quiet as the moon and fluttering, moving like a starry river.
"The concubine has seen Princess Gui'an." Yu Ran Shi Ran saluted.
Xun Yu bowed his head slightly, and his posture was already arrogant.
The maid Broken Butterfly was already dissatisfied, but Princess Fengyang didn't care. "The princess of the county, the princess of the side, I don't know when you will arrive, so I haven't waited for you, and I hope to forgive me. This side please. ”
Princess Fengyang is dignified and elegant, and treats people gently and amiably. No one felt that there was anything wrong with this, but Xun Yu felt that her posture was too low.
Princess Fengyang is the emperor's favorite daughter, and she wants her to stay for a few more years, so she has not agreed to marry for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that her status was extremely precious and favored, at her current age, she was still in the boudoir, and she was afraid that gossip would force her to death.
Xun Yu bowed lightly, "Thank you." ”
In ancient times, there was a meandering water, and now there is a flying flower order.
The huge round bluestone square is paved with a gossip map. Outside the square, there is a private seat for invited men. Those who come late can only stand at the back of the seat.
According to the rules, men are only allowed to watch, not to make noise, and are not allowed to give warnings or even check the game. However, it is possible to score the participating girls in the game to make it more elegant.
In the very center of the square, there is a round table with seven wine glasses, corresponding to seven cushions.
The Flying Flowers Club is a seven-player game, and the rules are very simple, say poems with flower characters in turn. The order of each person is the same as the flower letter. You can take it from others or create it yourself. If you can't receive the order, you will lose and quit, and the next person will continue to receive the order until the winner is decided.
For every game you win, you get a silver flying flower. The player with the most flying flowers advances to the next round.
The loser is penalized for drinking. Many women who are not strong enough to drink are already full of red faces, and they are becoming more and more delicate and lovely.
In addition to being a proof of victory, Flying Flower can also be exempted when an order cannot be received, which is equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death. Used flying flowers will be taken back.
Xun Yu came late, and there were already people who couldn't wait for her and began to fly flowers.
In this round, someone used the Flying Flower Exemption. The situation was stalemate for a moment, but fortunately it was quickly restored.
In the end, the winner was Rong Yu, the daughter of a scholar.
Rong Yu handed over the flying flower to the maid for registration, and walked towards Princess Fengyang.
"Your Highness, aren't you going to play again?"
Princess Fengyang smiled, "It's okay." She looked at Xun Yu, "Does the princess want to have a fun?" ”
Another woman walked over, she looked at Xun Yu with a smile for a while, and then said, "Your Highness, don't be embarrassed for the princess of the county." The princess of the county is not long in this way, if it is something else...... Oh, you can also show the display. It's the side princess, I have heard the good name of the side princess for a long time, and today I don't know if I can ask the side princess to appreciate her face and give me some advice. ”
Yuran was stunned and looked at Xun Yu in embarrassment.
Xun Yu didn't like to join in the fun, and the reason why he came here was only for this princess Fengyang who met for the second time.
She was a little curious, this golden branch and jade leaf, which was not stained with dust and was loved by thousands of people, was actually depressed and became a disease. If it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be a few years, and it will end in depression.
She took a step back, followed the woman's words, and said, "I don't like this. ”
The simple and perfunctory explanation clearly shows her attitude.
Princess Fengyang's brows frowned slightly, and she empathetically found a better reason for Xun Yu. "The princess of the county is here for the first time, and I don't know how to play the Flying Flower Order. I'll wait for a demonstration or two, princess of the county, you are familiar with the rules, and if you want to participate, tell me. ”
"Niangniang, concubine ......"
"There you go."
Regardless of the position, Xun Yu admires Yuran very much. There is no lack of wisdom and calculation, and there is no lack of stability and patience. This kind of woman, unless fate plays tricks and fate is not up to others, otherwise, as long as she is given a little chance, she will definitely bloom in thousands of graces.
Fengyang is a princess, and she sits in the first place.
"No one collects Huadian." Princess Fengyang took the lead. As soon as the words fell, the piano sounded.
Although the soundtrack of the Flying Flower Herald is only to add elegance, it also has a function: the herald must match the music. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a missed order, and the game will be lost.
This rule is to prevent someone from being unable to answer the order and delaying time. If it's just one or two times, it's fine, but if it's too much, it's inevitable that the interest will be ruined.
"Yang Hua is crying."
"Begonia pear blossoms reflect poplar trees."
"Flying flowers are as light as a dream."
"Looking east, Shaocheng is full of flowers."
"Knock on the chess pieces and drop the lanterns."
After a round, no one was defeated.
Princess Fengyang said again: "Flowers are full of flowers. ”
can share the table with Princess Fengyang, not only can his identity be called precious in this place full of nobles, but also has a belly full of poems and books. Those who rely on their identity but don't have much knowledge want to live with Princess Fengyang. But everyone knows that although Princess Fengyang is gentle, she also hates such deceitful people. If someone is found to be indiscriminate, they will not only be expelled on the spot, lose their qualification to participate in the Stopping Cloud Flying Flower Club, but also become a joke.
Princess Fengyang's flying flower competition of seven people is very exciting. The man playing music on the side, when he couldn't tell the winner for a long time, accelerated the tempo, adding a lot of difficulty to the competition.
Soon, one person was defeated.
In another moment, another man was defeated.
In less than two moments, only Princess Fengyang, Yuran and the daughter of the Marquis of Changping remained.
The music soothed, and the pace of the game slowed down a lot.
A defeated woman glared fiercely at the piano man, but the man shrugged his shoulders and looked innocent.
Xun Yu glanced at him, he had never seen this person, but he felt a little familiar.
After the defeat of the daughter of the Marquis of Changping, a drop of cold sweat fell from the side of Yuran's face.
In the end, Princess Fengyang won with "this flower and this leaf often reflect each other".
Princess Fengyang not only didn't feel happy, but her face sank a little. She looked deeply at Yuran, and saw that the latter lowered her head and whispered guilt. She was silent for a long time, sighing regretfully.
Although she took the lead in hosting the Flying Flowers Club, she rarely appeared. Basically, only in the penultimate round of symbolic participation. Now that he played early, he met his opponent again, and he was in high spirits, but his opponent was too worried.
Xun Yu also saw Yuran's thoughts.
Although she is a side princess, she is only a concubine in the end, and she is born humble. In this place where nobles gather, it can be called humble. She is better than other nobles, and she can also be called talented. If you win Princess Fengyang, you won't be appreciated.
Although Princess Fengyang hated this kind of behavior, she also understood her situation, so she not only couldn't bear her anger, but also restrained her emotions and cleaned them up, and she couldn't notice anything unusual even if others pondered it.
The overcomers are congratulated.
Many noble ladies gathered around Princess Fengyang, complimenting them sincerely. Princess Fengyang was still calmly coping, but when she glanced at Xun Yu, who was leisurely and self-reliant in the corner, she couldn't help but get bored.
