Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Long Wind Invites You to Feast

Cao Pi, who first ascended to the great treasure, established Luoyang as the new capital, and the Wei palace was expanded into the imperial palace. In addition, the families of civil and military officials have all moved here. Cao Pi was overjoyed, and today he held a banquet in the Xuanzheng Palace, the largest council hall, which was the joy of moving the capital.

The sun shadow hangs in the west, the palace lights are lit, the lights in the Xuanzheng Hall are brilliant, the sheng song and music dance, and the guests are full. Due to the large number of people invited today, the number of patrolling guards has also increased a lot to ensure safety.

"Girl, where are you going?" Xiao Man looked at Chai Xuan lying at the gate of the courtyard, frowning puzzled.

Since welcoming the return of the holy car, he has been walking back and forth in the courtyard with a heavy heart. I didn't say anything when I asked her, I just said that I was thinking about things.

"Girl, if you have anything to discuss with Xiao Man, see if Xiao Man has anything that can help you?" Xiao Man said again.

Looking at Xiao Man with a sincere face, Chai Xuan still hesitated. Honestly, she didn't really matter. But today, Cao Pi invited a banquet to hundreds of officials, and Bai Yu would definitely be in the palace.

On weekdays, this place is like a prison, there is no permission, not even a fly can fly out, let alone a big living person like himself. Last time, Bai Yu was so seriously injured for himself. Now, when I finally have the opportunity to meet him, I have to ask two words and say "thank you" to feel more at ease.

"Xiaoman, let me ask you, where will Your Majesty hold a banquet?" Chai Xuan stepped forward and asked.

"It should be in the Xuanzheng Palace. Since it is a banquet for civil and military officials, it is naturally not possible to have a small place. Xiao Manyan said.

Looking at the guards patrolling outside the door, his eyebrows tightened slightly, "Xiaoman, is this Xuanzheng Hall far away from us?" ”

"It's not very far, but it's not close, and the girl asks what to do, does the girl want to go over?" Xiao Man frowned and looked at Chai Xuan curiously.

"Where are you going, girl?"

The figure was not seen, and the voice entered the door. Chai Xuan and Xiao Man were interrupted by these cold words, and they both turned around to look. I saw a woman in a blue dress, who entered the door in a dignified manner. didn't salute or say much, just rolled his eyes and looked Chai Xuan up and down.

Inexplicably came in and looked like this, this is to the zoo to see the scenery, why is it so casual. Especially the slightly contemptuous expression, seeing Chai Xuan's inexplicable anger.

"Hey, who are you!" Chai Xuan pursed her lips in displeasure, this guy is not a good stubble at a glance.

Seeing that Chai Xuan's words were angry, Xiao Man hurriedly pulled her and reminded in a low voice: "The girl doesn't know, this is Guo Guifei's personal maid Qingying." ”

The eyebrows were slightly raised, and Chai Xuan's eyes showed a hint of displeasure. No wonder the attitude is so high-profile, it turned out to be a fox and a fake tiger, and with the help of Guo Zhao's reputation, he sang a high-profile song.

"I wonder if Sister Qingying is here?"

Xiao Man lowered his head with a smile and said very respectfully. The tone was low, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Qingying squinted at Chai Xuan with disdain, and snorted coldly: "Today, Your Majesty entertained hundreds of officials in the Xuanzheng Palace, and the noble concubines and concubines held a banquet in Changfeng Palace to entertain the concubines and the ladies of the hundred officials. Niangniang specially blessed me, personally come to invite you, go to the banquet! She really didn't understand, Chai Xuan was both a rank and Guo Huai's enemy, why her master specially asked her to invite her, it was simply a high hat for her.

Looking at Qingying's drooping expression that was about to become a donkey's face, Chai Xuan felt deep contempt. Suppressing the dissatisfaction in her heart, Chai Xuan bent out an extremely far-fetched smile, "Sister Qingying, right, you said that I am a slave, how could I be invited to the banquet of the noble concubine, don't joke with me." ”

Squinting at Chai Xuan's smiling face, Qing Yinggen snorted coldly, and shrugged the white eyes of Chai Xuan with disgust on his shoulder, "You ask me, who do I ask!" Anyway, I've brought it, and if you're interested, you'll know what to do. ”

"Yes, yes, what Sister Qingying said is that our girl will clean up and go over immediately." Xiao Man said with a smile on his face.

Looking down at Xiao Man, who was whispering, Qingying's eyes glanced at him, and the white eyes were almost covered with the entire eye socket. Qingying turned around and left unhappily, and the "hiss" sound rubbed between her teeth made Chai Xuan rub her teeth itching.

"I said Xiaoman, why do you have to promise her. Besides, I have no identity and no status, what are I doing in that place! My sixth sense tells me very well that there's definitely something wrong here! If you don't go, I'll kill you! Chai Xuan sat on the stone bench with a puff, puffing out her cheeks, and her face was full of anger.

Looking at Chai Xuan's angry appearance, Xiao Man shook his head helplessly, "Girl, this is Guo Guifei's personal invitation." Even if there is something wrong with that banquet, you have to go. ”

"What? I knew she was going to kill me, so I had to rush to send her my head. I don't have Alzheimer's, what a foolish disease! ”

Chai Xuan twisted her two slender eyebrows and looked at Xiao Man with an incredulous expression. This little man is stupid, he can't really listen to her, and he will plant it in the pit. Besides, last time because of Guo Huai's incident, I already had a dislike with her. This unclear invitation has no good fruit.

"Girl, I know that you are afraid that Guo Guifei will retaliate against you because of the matter of Guo Wangye. But this time it was Guo Guifei who sent a personal girl to invite you, if you don't go, not only will Guo Guifei's face be unbearable, but won't the relationship between you be even more stiff? ”

Xiao Man's analysis was the Tao, and he was a little shaken when he heard it. After all, this Guo Zhao is a candidate for the future queen, if he really has a stiff relationship with her, then the life in the palace of King Wei will be even more difficult!

"Okay, okay, just go. Then you go and tell Ye'er and let her rest early, so you don't have to wait for me to eat. Chai Xuan pouted and stood up reluctantly.

"Don't worry, girl, I'll let Rongzhi tell Ye'er immediately." Xiao Manman smiled happily. After all, it is really not easy for Chai Xuan to obediently follow the words of these masters.

"Oh......" Chai Xuan nodded without energy, her eyes suddenly flashed, and a question mark came up in her heart, "Hey~ Xiaoman, who is this Rongzhi?" ”

"Hey, I almost looked. It was the palace that allocated a new girl, and I saw that she was quite spiritual, so I left it for the girl. If our Changxuan Palace is so big, I and a few unlucky attendants are afraid that we won't be able to serve the girl. Xiao Man replied with a smile.

Looking at Xiao Man, who cared so much about herself, Chai Xuan sneered helplessly. For this, she wished that there were fewer people in this courtyard as much as possible, even if it was only her and Ye'er. When the time comes, no matter whether it is turning the sky or retreating, no one can control her, so as not to shout the rules in her ear all day long, and she will be upset to think about it.

"Okay, the girl should dress up and go to the banquet again?" Xiao Man looked at the somewhat plain Chai Xuan and asked.

Chai Xuan looked down at her pink clothes, which she was wearing when she greeted Cao Pi today. This is also what he wore when he saw Cao Pi on the first day he came to the Wei Palace. The fine pattern and the good material are also very good!

"I don't need to change it, and besides, do I have something to hold upside down?" Chai Xuan shrugged helplessly and replied.

But this is also the truth, although Cao Pi did reward a lot of silver and jade jewelry, but the exquisite snowflake hosta on Chai Xuan's head has already eclipsed those gold and silver hairpins. It doesn't have to be brought out, and it's not worth bringing it out again. In addition, Chai Xuan doesn't like those things either, and always says that those things are cheesy, and she doesn't bother to wear those things except for the hosta.

"But wouldn't the girl be a little more pure when she went like this?"

The people who saw these banquets were all the wives of ministers, and more or less they would bring two or three pieces of ornaments, either golden hairpins or jade hairpins, but Chai Xuan's golden hairpins couldn't be taken out at all, and there were no jade ornaments to wear.

"What's that, I'm neither dressed in tatters, nor dressed sloppy, what's not to do." Chai Xuan raised her sleeves, not realizing that there was anything wrong at all.

"Girl, even if that's the case, you have to dress up!" Xiao Man glanced at Chai Xuan again and again, but he still felt that something was wrong.

After all, at these banquets, if you dress too shabby, you will be despised, and it is also disrespectful to the host of the banquet. It's a big deal, so let Chai Xuan bring all those golden hairpins, and it's okay to have more of them.

In the face of Xiao Man's repeated pickiness of pressing himself in front of the bronze mirror, Chai Xuan was helpless and wanted to cry, and put on a bitter face, looking at the golden hairpin that burst when he saw it. Isn't it just a broken banquet, why do you want to do it like a hundred flowers?

"Girl, please see Chang Cao." A maid came in and replied.

Chai Xuan struggled a little to pin her thousand-pound head and stared at the round-faced little girl. Zuo is only fifteen or sixteen years old, looking at the floor with low eyebrows, and not looking at himself, he looks like a very well-behaved child.

"Oh, girl. This is what I told you about Rongzhi. Seeing Chai Xuan staring at Rong Zhi, Xiao Man simply introduced.

"Oh~ It turns out that you are Rongzhi!" Chai Xuan wanted to get up and take a closer look at the child, but when she looked up, she found that the golden hairpin on her head was pressing on her like an iron pimple, and her neck hurt. I had to pouted speechlessly, and said with some embarrassment: "Cao Shu, what is he doing, let him come in." ”

"Whoa!" Rong Zhi nodded, stepped back and motioned for Cao Shu to enter the door.

I saw Cao Shu leading two little attendants to hold things, bent down into the door, bowed and saluted: "I heard that the girl is going to attend the banquet of the noble concubine today, so Your Majesty ordered the servants to send some things for the girl." ”

Cao Shu raised his hand and signaled, and the two attendants lowered their heads and lifted the things in their hands, which instantly made Xiao Man's eyes light up.

"Girl, it looks like you don't have to worry about running out of clothes tonight." Xiao Man rushed to the thing excitedly, looking at the exquisite clothes, his eyes were completely shining.

"Back girl, this dress is made of high-quality Shu embroidery, and it was specially ordered by His Majesty." Cao Shuyan said.

Chai Xuan stretched her neck to look at the things under the hall, but her eyebrows were tight. This Guo Zhao just said that he wanted to let himself go to the banquet, and Cao Pi sent the clothes to the back foot, what kind of trick are these two guys singing.

"Girl, come and see this dress!" Xiao Man looked at the clothes excitedly, and his eyes were full of little stars.

Shu embroidery is a first-class high-quality cloth, every inch of gold. People like Xiaoman, don't put it bluntly, it's rare to see each other.

Looking at the clothes and some accessories, Chai Xuan's color was slightly positive. Pulling off all the hairpins on his head that were too heavy to work, he got up and stepped forward and said, "Chai Xuan, thank you Your Majesty for the reward!" "No matter what Cao Pi's idea is, the minimum etiquette must be done sufficiently.

"Now that the things have been delivered, the slave will retire first." Cao Shufu bowed slightly, and led the two little attendants out of the door.

"Girl, I'll send it!" Xiao Man rushed to Chai Xuan, and then followed out the door.

staring at Cao Pi and sending a brocade dress, Chai Xuan felt strange in her heart.
