Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Man of Love
Lord Ningzhu pulled Lin Qingyan away for a while, and then let go of her hand.
Qingyan stepped forward and saluted: "Qingyan thanked the Lord of Ningzhu County for relieving Qingyan of the siege. ”
Seeing that Qingyan was behaving at this time, the lord of Ningzhu County sneered and said, "Are you such a polite lady?" It's not that the lord of this county doesn't understand you, what else is he pretending to be in front of the lord of this county? ”
The corners of Qingyan's eyes twitched when she heard this, and she only saw how she understood herself, and said it so bluntly, should she be so upright, so she got up and stopped saluting.
Seeing this, the Lord of Ningzhu County was not angry, and seemed to explain: "I wasn't helping you just now, I just couldn't get used to Yun Yijing using my banner all day long, offending people for me, and pouring out to preach that I was quite unreasonable." ”
Qingyan looked at Yun Yitong fixedly, as if he was looking at an awkward child, and said with a chuckle: "I know, you are not as unreasonable as the rumors, and I also know that you will not be angry with me because I made fun of you in Chu Yuge." ”
When Yun Yitong heard this, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth moved, as if he had something to say, but he didn't say it after all.
After a while, Yun Yitong changed the topic and said: "It's almost evening, the palace banquet is about to start, let's go and give the imperial grandmother a salute first." ”
After that, he didn't wait for Qingyan to answer, and took the lead in walking.
Qingyan followed behind Yun Yitong, secretly thinking that maybe this unruly county lord was not like the rumors.
Passing by a pavilion on the way, Lord Ningzhu stopped, stepped into the pavilion, and introduced several ladies to Qingyan.
Among them are Chu Yiling, the eldest daughter of Zhennan General Chu Hanxi, that is, Chu Zishuo's younger sister, Si Peixiang, the head of Anle County of Yunwangfu, Qin Yirou, the second daughter of Qi Guogong, and Shen Yao, the daughter of Weiyuan, etc......
In the Yirong Palace, the Queen Mother sits on the top, and the bottom is all noble ladies, with the daughters of each family, the ring is fat and thin, and the warbler is singing and swallowing, so it is not lively.
Yun Yitong took Qingyan into the salute, and two cheerful female voices sounded, "Greetings to the imperial grandmother!" ", "The courtier Lin Qingyan asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye. "Etiquette, take a closer look at the actions of asking for peace, Qingyan seems to be doing better than Lord Ningzhu.
The Queen Mother looked at the two people under her and couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows, and said in her heart that this Lin Qingyan didn't seem to know the number of etiquette, this action of asking for peace, familiar posture, and neither humble nor arrogant expression, seemed to have been cultivated by many years of court life.
"No courtesy." The voice of the Queen Mother sounded.
The county lord of Ningzhu pulled Qingyan forward and said, "Imperial grandmother, this is what Ningzhu mentioned to you, Sister Qingyan who saved Ningzhu in Chu Yuge. ”
The Queen Mother's eyes turned from the face of the Lord of Ningzhu to the face of Qingyan, and she said, "Raise your head and let the mourning family see." ”
Qingyan raised her head according to her words, when the Queen Mother looked at Qingyan, Qingyan was also looking at the Queen Mother, although the Queen Mother was over half a hundred years old, she was well maintained, and there were only a few wrinkles on her face.
The Queen Mother saw that her eyes were clear, her appearance was handsome, her manners were thorough, and she liked it very much, so she chatted a few more words.
In the blink of an eye, the palace banquet was about to begin, and the lord of Ningzhu and Qingyan, as well as the noble ladies in the queen mother's palace, said goodbye and left.
When she arrived at the main hall, Qingyan searched for her many times, and finally found Chu Zishuo outside the hall, and Chu Zishuo was also looking for her at this time.
"Ruizhi, can things be done?" Before Chu Zishuo could speak, Qingyan went straight to the topic and asked.
"Don't worry, it's all done." Chu Zishuo stared at Qingyan without blinking and replied, and a clear-eyed person knew at a glance that these two people were Lang You's sister.
"Well, thank you, the palace banquet is about to begin, I'm going to sit down." Then he turned around and wanted to leave.
Chu Zishuo hurriedly stopped her, "Yan'er, let me look at you for a while." ”
Qingyan looked at Chu Zishuo's affectionate eyes, and couldn't help but sink.
Until, a discordant voice sounded, "Yo, in this remote place, there is a little lover who is having a tryst." The ridiculous voice and the tone of the hanger made people really want to smoke him.
Qingyan and Chu Zishuo turned their heads together and saw two men standing not far away, one was Shen Yixuan of Weiyuan Houfu, and the other was Xiao Heng, the prince of Prince Jin, who made Qingyan hate him when he saw it.
Qingyan stepped forward and pushed the two away, and said, "Don't talk nonsense." Then he left, and Chu Zishuo hurriedly chased after him to appease.
The two people left behind had different expressions, and Shen Yixuan was the first to speak: "Isn't this the girl from the mountain behind Biyun Temple?" Doesn't she like you? How to ......"
Xiao Heng seemed to have knocked over the five-flavor bottle in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like, so he forcibly suppressed the surging emotions, turned his head and ordered: "Stop him!" A gust of wind swept away Qingyan.
Shen Yixuan instantly exploded, "This son warns you, don't order this son." Then he shot out like an arrow, entangled with Chu Zishuo, who wanted to catch up.
In the middle of nowhere, "Isn't this girl just unwilling to play chess with you?" This is the kidnapping of this girl, she is really not a man. ”
Xiao Heng stepped forward, "This son is not a man?" Would you like to try it here? ”
Qingyan is in line with the principle that a good woman does not suffer immediate losses, "Qingyan is in a hurry, and she doesn't choose what to say, and she also asks Master Xiao Gongzi to have a lot." ”
The corners of Xiao Heng's mouth hooked slightly, and he returned to the hall not far from the hall with a sweep of Qingyan, Qingyan patted the place where Xiao Heng had embraced, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't appear in front of this girl again." "He just ran away.
When he returned to the main hall, Qing Yan knew that due to the large number of people attending the palace banquet, the seat of the Yong'an Hou Mansion was outside the palace.
found his place and sat down, at this time, Hou Ye, the eldest lady, Lin Qingxin, Lin Qingyi and Lin Qingyun were all seated.
Unexpectedly, except for Hou Ye asking a few words, no one bothered her.
At a glance at Lin Qingxin and the others' expressions, they looked into the distance with their necks stretched out, and Qingyan looked at the situation, and saw Xiao Heng and Shen Yixuan walking over gracefully, especially Xiao Heng, with a handsome and lifeless face, and a beautiful posture, I don't know how many girls have charmed.
Qingyan secretly scolded, "Demon! I really want to pat those girls on the shoulder, hand them a quick handkerchief, and let them wipe their saliva.
Soon, someone from the palace came to ask what program was performed, and there was no surprise, Lin Qingxin, Lin Qingyun and Lin Qingyi all reported the program, but when asked about themselves, Qingyan did not report.
After a long time, Emperor Xiao'an brought the queen and the queen mother to the table, and the envoys of the Eastern Zhao Kingdom and the envoys of the Southern Departure Country also sat down.
There was a young woman and two young men among the envoys, and Qing Yan secretly thought in her heart that it wouldn't be the princess and the prince, right? I don't know who will be picked?
Qingyan was still in his thoughts, the dishes had been served, and Emperor Xiao'an said a lot of polite words, to the effect that he raised a glass to celebrate the peace between the two countries, and said that Qingyan yawned twice.
Then Princess Anping presented the opening dance "Palm Dance", and she was shocked, this dynasty also has Zhao Feiyan's palm dance, and she must take a good look. Because the performance is in the center of the main hall, although Qingyan sits outside the hall, it does not hinder the view.
Seeing two rows of palace maids rushing in, all holding jade plates, neat postures and dance steps, it seems that they have been rehearsed for a long time, and the people in the hall are whispering and secretly admiring when they see this.
A young woman, light in stature, with a face like a peach and plum, dancing on the jade plate, the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra is endless, fluttering like a fairy, as if she is going to go away.
