215 Favorite daughter-in-law
The queen said: "The flowers in the palace are blooming just right, and I will call you to get together again before the winter is cold." ”
Before she finished speaking, the palace maids came in a stream and served chrysanthemum wine to every guest.
"I've got a new winemaker, and he's very skilled," the queen continued, "and you'll have a taste." ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Everyone waited for the queen to pick up the wine glass first, and then they successively picked up the wine glass with both hands and took a sip lightly.
The wine has a light taste, with the unique fragrance of chrysanthemums, and has an endless aftertaste between the lips and teeth.
Luo Yanyue stole a glance at the queen, lowered her voice and asked her mother: "Mother, the queen doesn't pay attention to me again, did I do something bad just now?" ”
"You're doing a great job." Li Suying comforted: "You must hold on, and you can't relax a little." ”
Mother's words gave Luo Yanyue great confidence, and happily drank some chrysanthemum wine.
At this moment, a girl in a butterfly pink dress walked by, and between the walks, the light smoke of the shawl fluttered gently, and the beads on the bun shimmered softly in the sun, shining on her soft and fair face, and the whole person seemed to be a fairy from the sky.
Soon, her arrival attracted the attention of many people.
Under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, the girl walked up the steps calmly, came to the queen's case, and held a plate of pastries in her hand in front of the queen.
"Queen, this is an osmanthus cake made by the courtiers, please taste it."
The girl's voice is like a tactful oriole bird, which makes people feel comfortable listening to it.
The queen smiled slightly and said, "The words have a heart." ”
Tang Guifei glanced at it and said with a smile: "Miss Meng's niece is really attentive to her aunt, which really makes me jealous." As she spoke, her eyes glanced at the Tang family lady below.
Today, the ladies of the Tang family are dressed up one by one, and compared with the ladies of the Luo family, they are not bad at all, but
The queen didn't see it at all.
She smiled lightly, the queen wanted to make the decision in the matter of choosing a daughter-in-law, and the saint was afraid that she would not agree.
On one side, the queen tasted a small half of the chrysanthemum cake, and then let her niece sit beside her.
Li Suying's face changed slightly, she remembered that this girl was Meng Wuyan of the queen's mother's family, and there were rumors earlier that the queen intended to arrange her marriage with the six princes, but the saint did not agree that the Meng family already had a queen, and there could no longer be a royal daughter-in-law.
But now it seems that the queen still hasn't given up on Meng Yanyan's relationship with the six princes.
knew about Luo Xuyan and the six princes, but the queen still called Meng Wuyan, and her intentions were self-evident.
She was a little discouraged, her daughter had been preparing carefully for so long, and no matter how good she was in the end, she couldn't compare to Meng Wuyan.
Li Suying clenched her fists, unwilling. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a familiar voice in his ear.
"This is Miss Meng's words? I haven't seen it for a while, but it's getting better and better. ”
She looked sideways and saw that it was Zhao Huanling who spoke.
Zhao Huanling didn't pay attention to her face at all, and looked at the queen and Meng Yanyan with a smile.
Meng Yanyan said with a smile: "Mrs. Luo San has won the award. ”
The queen took Meng Yanyan's hand and said, "But it's becoming more and more worrying." ”
Everyone's faces are different, and there is obviously only one marriage that a girl of this age can worry about for her elders.
Tang Guifei leaned on the position, the long pomegranate red dress dragged down, the gold thread shimmered with dazzling brilliance in the sun, and she said lazily: "Yes, such a good girl, and there are uncles and aunts like the saint and the queen, her marriage is the most worrying." We must select the world's first-class young talents in order to match them. ”
"Tang Guifei" Meng Yanyan's cheeks were slightly red, and she shouted softly, looking a little shy.
Li Suying noticed that the queen's face was not good-looking for a moment, and she was even more sure that the queen's mother wanted the sixth prince to marry Meng Yanyan as his wife.
The queen firmly grasped Meng Yanyan's hand, and some people couldn't help it at all, and their faces became stiff.
She said word by word: "What the concubine said is right, the marriage of the concubine should be carefully arranged." ”
Tang Guifei looked at the others with a smile, as if she was laughing at their self-inflicted affection, especially the ladies of the Luo family.
No matter how carefully prepared, in the eyes of the queen, it is as small as dust.
The arranged musicians and dancers came forward and danced to the music in front of everyone.
The atmosphere seems to have improved a little, the palace ladies diligently replace the pastries and fruits, are the freshest and delicious, and surrounded by a sea of flowers, after the court gardener carefully pruned and placed, the flowers of various colors are harmoniously blended together, neither abrupt nor monotonous, and the fragrance of flowers comes with the breeze, which is refreshing.
Tang Guifei took a sip of chrysanthemum wine, looked at the aunt and nephew who were obliquely above, smiled disdainfully, and said again: "The concubine is thinking, the queen has to arrange it as soon as possible, otherwise, the talents in Beijing will break through the threshold of the Meng family, and it will be bad to be dazzled when the time comes." ”
The queen said flatly: "Thank you for your suggestion." ”
Tang Guifei said: "Speaking of the marriage of the concubine, the concubine thought of the six princes, as the prince of Yan, if you want to come to the saint, you will make arrangements, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone pricked up their ears and eavesdropped.
The queen looked at the dancing girls who danced like butterflies and said, "Look at the meaning of the saint." ”
Tang Guifei covered her mouth and smiled, her goal had been achieved.
If you want the queen to die completely and let Meng Yanyan marry the heart of the six princes, that is, to make the queen anxious and impatient first, and then force the saint to come forward, and then she will stand up and speak.
When the ladies heard this conversation, they looked at the ladies and ladies of the Luo family.
Tang Xiuyuan's words just now, they all remember them clearly.
The queen doesn't mention the Luo family now, as if she is giving the Luo family a look and slapping the Luo family's face.
Mrs. Luo still had a dignified smile on her face, enjoying the performances of the dancers, and Li Suying and Zhao Huanling's mother and daughter also held on and didn't look at others.
After a little time, everyone felt bored and looked away.
Luo Yanyue looked at Meng Wuyan, who was talking and laughing with the queen, and was extremely jealous.
Just now, the queen mother looked at her a few more times, but when she turned her head, after Meng Wuyan came, it seemed that Meng Wuyan was the only one left in her eyes.
To say that Meng Yanyan's appearance, knowledge, talent, etc., are not top-notch in Beijing, but just because she has the same surname as the queen, she has received all the attention.
