Chapter 18 Heavy Nine Verses

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, there are nine heavy festivals.

The palace is very lively on this day, because the people in the palace, whether they are concubines or palace people, will dress up beautifully and form a small group in twos and threes, or climb high and overlook, or wear dogwoods on their bodies, so as to express their respect for their ancestors and miss their distant families.

And I've never been interested in physical work like climbing high and looking far away, and I don't like the kind of things that can be seen or eaten by dogwood, so when Taoxin dresses up like a black mountain demon and fools around with other palace people every year, I usually eat or sleep.

It's not that I don't pay attention to etiquette, but firstly, I am lazy, these red tape things are really troublesome, and secondly, the relatives close to me are not far away, so the heavy nine customs or something, for me it is really not as good as sincerity.

So after thinking about it, I weighed it a few times in my heart, and finally decided that this year's Chongjiu Festival would let go of the wind for the day as usual, and then it would be better for me to sleep with my dear futon until the next day.

But I never expected that when I was proud, a letter was unexpectedly presented at the door.

Who?

I looked suspiciously at the little eunuch until he craned his neck and retreated.

I just opened the sticker and saw that the gold background and purple veneer were greatly branded with the name of Yingshi.

"Brother Prince?" I raised my eyebrows, and from time to time a dark-skinned and simple-looking figure popped up in my mind.

I think since he set up another mansion and moved to a new house, we haven't seen each other for a long time, how can he send me a card today? Could it be that the crown princess gave birth to a son Yinglin, and there is good news again?

Driven by curiosity, I quickly spread out the post, and only then did I see the content clearly.

It is roughly said that the prince's mansion has been boring for a long time, so after thinking about it, I decided to take advantage of the important nine festivals to go to Beppu to enjoy the chrysanthemum, and it happened that the princess's sister-in-law ordered someone to make chrysanthemum wine, but it was too much, and at this time it happened to be a good time for this wine to be in Nanshan Beppu.

That's why the prince's brother invited many talented and beautiful people to drink together, but there was only one missing one who could play and sing, and he wanted me to accompany him to make up the numbers, so that everyone could have fun?

But I'm not an artist in Xingjiang Building, am I the one who is so easy to invite?

Are you kidding!

After reading the post, I pulled the corners of my mouth contemptuously, and then crumpled the post in my hand into a mess and threw it behind me.

Hmph, this princess is so happy to be idle, she is too lazy to do this completely sweetly idiotic thing!

"Father-in-law... Princess..."

Just as I was about to fall asleep, the little eunuch who presented the sticker came in again and shouted at me twice.

"Is there any end to it?"

I finally couldn't hold back my roar, thinking about the dream that was constantly disturbed, and I was about to go crazy, when the little eunuch dropped a crumpled note and fled as fast as he could.

"What?" I glanced at the eunuch who had no eyesight, picked up the note, and then spread it out to see that there were a few lines written crookedly inside: It's okay if you don't come, but... The prince was happy today, and invited Master Jiang Lu of the martial arts hall to play kung fu to help the fun, I am afraid that the royal sister will not have the opportunity to see it.

What the?

I crumpled the note in anger.

What is the prince thinking of me?

I guessed that I would refuse, so I was going to use the famous kung fu master in Haozhou to seduce me?

In his opinion, I am such an undetermined master? Maybe you're underestimating me!

"Come on, get ready for the carriage! This princess is going to leave the palace! ”

The so-called Nanshan Beppu, is the prince's brother in the suburbs of the acquisition of a farm repaired, its palace is not like the palace of the golden splendor, nor like the prince's mansion carved beams and paintings, into the door of the palace is the main hall, along the road clusters of chrysanthemums are full of garden flowers, but small and delicate to some elegant and vulgar taste.

It's just that I stepped into the door with my front foot, and the princess and sister-in-law on the back foot seemed to have been ambushed a long time ago, leading a group of warblers and Yanyan out.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Raising my eyes, I looked at it in astonishment, and the women dressed in colorful clothes saluted me one by one, and I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't get back to my senses.

Fortunately, the princess's sister-in-law smiled in time and took my hand, which saved me from embarrassment.

But the strange thing is that I never remember that these princes and concubines who saluted me at this time had been so polite to me before, what is wrong now?

I don't know if it's an illusion, I intuitively feel that those who are ripe or half-baked are all looking at me with an ambiguous expression, please be a little hairy in my heart.

So I sneered, gestured to them up, and said, "Hehe... Guys, it's easy to say..."

After that, the princess's sister-in-law led me, followed by a large flock of warblers and swallows, and walked slowly for a while, and came to the so-called chrysanthemum garden of the prince's brother.

At this time, in the garden, in addition to the lavish banquet, the prince's brother was fighting with the young talents inside, so I stood in place only to see a piece of brocade clothes, and a dark-faced young man swayed left and right, so that I didn't even notice that I came in.

"Brother Prince, are you drunk?"

The princess's sister-in-law followed my line of sight and waved her hand indifferently, "Princess, you don't care about the prince, come here!" ”

"Huh?"

Seeing that I was a little distracted, the princess and sister-in-law winked at me and pulled me straight to the seat.

But to my bewilderment, I saw a strange sight before I even approached my seat.

I saw about a dozen women, surrounded by a group, and all of them scratched their heads and made their postures glow, as if they had seen some rare treasures, they all looked like they were eager to eat them immediately, could it... There's a bunch of jewels on that seat?

I was very curious, and I wanted to take a look at it, but the princess's sister-in-law forced me to sit next to the surrounded position.

Before leaving, the princess and sister-in-law winked at me again, and said ambiguously, "Sensei, I'm here!" ”

Belch? What did she mean by that?

I still have a feeling that the monk of Zhanger is confused.

However, after a moment she showed the skill of the Hedong lion's roar and forcibly dismissed the women who were gathered together, in addition to expressing surprise and even greater surprise, I suddenly began to admire the princess and sister-in-law...

Look at this skill, I am stunned that it is more powerful than the heroes in the martial arts books I read...

However, worship is worship, and then I realized that the person sitting next to me was not Yin Linxi, who was dressed in brocade and white, and looked pleasant?

So... The group of women just now... Is it him at all?

"Why are you here?"

I think it's very strange, it stands to reason that Yin Linxi is an envoy of another country, and the prince's brother shouldn't invite him.

Yin Linxi seemed to be slightly stunned for a moment when he saw me, and after a while, he returned to his previous pleasant demeanor and said, "I and the prince are also old acquaintances." ”

Is it?

I glanced at him stupidly, but the thing picked up the cup and took a sip, and said unhurriedly, "This time, I didn't know that the sixth princess would also come, what?" Have you discussed with your father about refusing to marry? ”

Consult? I sneered...

I was locked up in a small black house by my father, I'm afraid that it has been spread all over the city for a long time, how can he not know?

This must be gloating.

Thinking of this, the corners of my mouth twitched, and I glared at the guy with a smile on the corner of my mouth angrily, and said hatefully, "Thanks to Prince Linxi's concern, the discussion is good, yes, very!" ”

"Oh?" Yin Linxi propped up his head with his left hand and looked at me sideways, his eyes flashing like obsidian turned into a heartwarming smile, "That's great, but... Did you feel something was wrong? ”

That said... I turned my head and looked at the people at the banquet carefully, and found that in addition to the busy prince brother and the group of gentlemen, I also found many pairs of eyes staring at me and Yin Linxi.

This is?

When I looked back, I suddenly thought of the abnormal behavior of the princess and sister-in-law and the group of warblers and Yanyan today, and I suddenly realized.

It must have been the father and the crown prince and brother who were angry, so they deliberately matched me and Yin Linxi on the occasion of the Ninth Festival.

What else do you say about visiting the garden and appreciating chrysanthemums, and what do you say about kung fu Jianglu, I bah!

It's just a trick to trick me.

I still haven't seen the prince's brother for a long time, and I sighed alone for a long time.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it...

This can be regarded as being calculated, it is really hateful!

I took a sip and raised my eyes again, and the princess's sister-in-law was staring at me "viciously".

What to do? If I get up and leave at this time, I am afraid that I will be held accountable by my father when I return to the palace, but I want to stay here...

Turning my eyes, looking at Yin Linxi's beautiful face that seemed to be smiling, I suddenly had a bad premonition.

Just when I was racking my brains to think of a decent reason to go back to sleep with peace of mind, the prince's brother and those young talents sat down one after another.

His eyes also went from all around, and finally fell on me, the royal sister who had no sense of existence.

"Su'er, are you here?" The prince's brother smiled innocently, deliberately acting very surprised.

I glanced blankly and muttered, "Please, it's been a long time, okay?" ”

Next, the prince's brother began to introduce me to the group of gentlemen one by one, and the princess and sister-in-law followed the traditional feudal idea of husband and wife, and followed me to praise me.

And when I was so angry that I gritted my teeth, Yin Linxi behind me held his head and raised his glass to me, as if he was watching a good show.

The aggrieved anger was about to flare up, when it was suddenly interrupted by a number of small servants who came in with delicate tea bowls and fruit plates.

As for those things...

There are chrysanthemum cakes, chrysanthemum cakes, chrysanthemum jelly beans, fruits and vegetables decorated with chrysanthemums, and chrysanthemum wine...

I looked at the snacks that were served one after another in amazement, and all the thoughts I had just thought about how to get out flew away.

"Oh my God, sister-in-law the crown princess, have you eaten all the chrysanthemums in the garden?"

As soon as I said this, two of them burst out laughing, and the one next to me coughed and secretly tugged at the hem of my skirt.

"What are you doing?"

I didn't understand what Yin Linxi meant, but I was a little surprised that he was similar to a disciple.

He seemed to have guessed my thoughts, and he couldn't speak anymore after saying the word "you" angrily, but when he held the cup and drank, his face clearly had an expression of swallowing flies raw.
