Chapter 487: Birthday Banquet

On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, the birthday of Prince Rui of Daqi, Yongjing City began to be lit up from the beginning of the new year, and the street was simply lively. The officials who came from all over the country to celebrate their birthdays filled all the inns in Yongjing City, and the merchants and vendors in the market were even more enthusiastic, and they must sell more than what they had in their own stores.

The palace is no exception.

Every year on Prince Rui's birthday, a banquet will be held in the palace, and officials of all sizes in the court can bring their families to participate. It can be said that this is a blind date banquet in disguise, and every year there are many girls who have the idea of making Prince Rui look at him and become a master in one fell swoop, but in the end, after this banquet, other sons and young masters marry home, and it is already very good for Prince Rui to see each other.

It stands to reason that Prince Rui is already engaged, and there are many fewer girls who come to the birthday banquet, but the palace maids found that there are more girls than in previous years, and they are all dressed up more fancy, and they have to wear a few more sticks on their heads than in previous years.

"What's going on?" The little palace maids leaned aside and whispered.

"Aren't those people working harder because the prince is engaged, isn't it proof that the prince agreed to give marriage, and the prince is not uncannibalistic. No, although the position of the concubine is gone, there is still a side concubine, once she becomes a person in Prince Rui's mansion, it is more proud than being a queen! ”

"What a shame!" The little palace maid smacked fiercely at the group of swaying girls, She felt that these young ladies of the official family were no different from the dusty women in the Qinglou at the moment, they were all very shameless!

"We help the prince and the county lord take a good look, and we must not let these girls destroy the relationship between the prince and the county lord!"

The little palace maids soon stood on the united front, and their prince finally fell in love with someone, and he was willing to get married, and he couldn't be destroyed before he got married! The relationship between the prince and the county lord is guarded by them!

Hua Qingyan didn't know that there was such a group of cute little palace maids in the palace to protect her love, she was sitting in Yun Shumo's carriage at the moment, and she was rushing to the palace.

According to Yun Shumo's instructions, Hua Qingyan also deliberately dressed up today. However, Hua Qingyan's dress is too simple in the eyes of others.

Hua Qingyan is wearing a Cantonese embroidered Liuxian skirt, plain white color, woven with cloud brocade, dotted with scattered pink plum blossoms, just like Ao Mei Li in the snow, and it seems to be able to smell the cold plum blossom fragrance in the action. The bun on the head is much more complicated than usual, the silver hairpin and hosta are just right, and there is a white ribbon floating behind the head, which makes the flower face more fluttering.

Hua Qingyan, who was dressed like this, made Yun Shumo's eyes flash with amazement, he hugged Hua Qingyan into his arms, lowered his eyes and said, "I really want to lock you up." ”

Hua Qingyan smiled on her forehead, but she was a little helpless. Yun Shumo held her hand all the way, even in the carriage. Hua Qingyan thought to herself that she was not a sweaty system, otherwise her palms would be full of sweat at this time, how embarrassing it was!

The banquet was held in the Imperial Garden, and it was necessary to pass through three palace gates to enter the palace from the Xuanwu Gate, and the process was obviously a bit long. Yun Shumo gently picked up a strand of hair on Hua Qingyan's cheek and wrapped it around his fingers to play with it, and asked with concern: "It will take some time to arrive, but are you hungry?" ”

Saying that, Yun Shumo opened the wall of the carriage, revealing a small row of shelves, and Hua Qingyan saw that there were many small snacks on the shelves.

Hua Qingyan shook her head with a smile: "I'm not a cloud seed, I don't think about eating all the time." Besides, I'm not hungry, and I'm going to save my stomach to taste the food in this palace. ”

"The Imperial Dining Room is no match for your craft." Yun Shumo said.

Hua Qingyan was slightly helpless: "How can I say that, my craftsmanship can never be compared with those chefs in the imperial dining room, I am better at home-cooked taste, and the dishes they make are real food." ”

Yun Shumo was obviously very dissatisfied with her words, and patted her head and said, "Don't be presumptuous!" ”

Hua Qingyan glanced at her mouth and didn't refute, anyway, her mouth was not good, and she couldn't say anything about these big men.

Along the way, many officials' carriages passed, and as soon as those officials saw the family emblem of Prince Rui's mansion, they stopped the carriage and waited for the carriage of Prince Rui's mansion to leave before continuing to move forward. Hua Qingyan lifted the curtain and looked back, there was a long convoy of their carriage suffix, and there were many female dependents who learned from Hua Qingyan to open the curtain and look forward, their faces full of longing.

"Will there be so many female dependents on Ah Yi's birthday every year?" Hua Qingyan asked.

Yun Shumo paused, "I don't know." ”

Hua Qingyan turned around in surprise, saw his indifferent face, and suddenly understood, this person has never paid attention to his birthday banquet, and as for those female relatives, he has never paid attention to it.

Hua Qingyan smiled: "Then do you know what those girls are here for?" ”

"Do what?" Yun Shumo asked rhetorically.

"Naturally, I want the prince to look down on them, let them stay in the Rui Wangfu, and then ascend to heaven alone." Hua Qingyan tilted her head and said, her appearance of squeezing her eyebrows and making her eyes was a little more playful in Yun Shumo's eyes.

Yun Shumo stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, "Then, has your chicken dog ascended to heaven?" ”

Hua Qingyan was stunned for a moment and then laughed out loud, the person in front of him was like this, he could completely disdain and turn a blind eye to things or people he didn't care about. And if she cares, she doesn't care if it's appropriate or not, or anything else, he can always make you feel that he cares about you, and he cares about you.

Although Hua Qingyan didn't know what would happen to them in the future and what kind of future they would have, she felt that even if this person was nothing in the end, she still wouldn't regret her choice.

Love one person, white head, choose a city, and grow old.

After about half an hour, the carriage finally stopped, and Hua Qingyan heard a eunuch outside the carriage shouting at a sharp voice: "Prince Rui has arrived!" ”

As soon as the voice of the little eunuch fell, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the sound of bells, drums and harps was particularly pleasant. Hua Qingyan suddenly remembered a sentence, the big beads and small beads fell on the jade plate, and now it is very appropriate to describe it here.

The birthday banquet has not officially begun, so these officials are standing in twos and threes, talking and exchanging all kinds of information they have searched for during this time, and they have brought their daughters and sons with them.

When many officials heard the noise, they hurriedly dragged their unmarried female relatives over, trying to brush their faces in front of Prince Rui first. But there are too many officials who think like this, and the crowding and shoving made many girls almost fall and ruin the careful preparation of this body.

Yu Jiamin, who was driving, opened the car door and set up a small ladder. Yun Shumo was the first to get out of the carriage. Hua Qingyan heard bursts of gasping outside the carriage, and many girls whispered what they thought were whispers.

"The prince is still like this, I can see the prince in this life, I have no regrets in this life!"

"The prince is really like an immortal, how can we be worthy of the prince like vulgar fans!"

"As long as I can be with the prince, even if it is to be a concubine, I am willing!"

Whose girl is so not ashamed!

Hua Qing scolded her face, but she had to admit that today's Yunshumo is even better looking than in the past!

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, today Yun Shumo also wore a moon-white robe, the green bamboo and auspicious clouds embroidered on the robe, with the same color of silk yarn, indeed lined him like a god in the sky and walked down to the mortal world. Rao is Hua Qingyan was already very familiar with this face, but she still couldn't help but be stunned.

Those girls pushed and wanted to come forward to greet Yun Shumo, but they held a reserve in their hearts, standing in place and looking at Yun Shumo with blank eyes, hoping that he would turn around and look at themselves.

But after Yun Shumo got out of the carriage, he didn't move his steps, but stretched out his slender hand towards the carriage.

Everyone saw a Qianqianyu hand stretched out from the carriage and landed on the prince's hand, and the prince held it even more, the action looked a little eager, but it was extraordinarily gentle!

Who was in the carriage? Which girl is it? Is it possible?

Everyone couldn't help but guess that those girls were even twisting the handkerchiefs in their hands, wondering and being afraid to know.

When Yun Shumo pulled out the people in the carriage little by little, everyone said in their hearts, sure enough, it was the county lord of Huixin! At the same time, a thought flashed in my heart, these two people in front of me are really a good match, and standing together makes people unable to raise any heart that wants to destroy!

Hua Qingyan had already thought of the situation she was going to face when Yun Shumo came to pick her up, but she was still a little nervous when it came to the end, after all, it was the first time she had seen such a big scene! For a while, he could only be quietly led by Yun Shumo, afraid that his slightest movement would be inappropriate, but he would lose face for Yun Shumo.

The little eunuch knelt on the ground and shouted, "See the prince!" I've seen the county lord! ”

Then everyone woke up like a dream, and knelt on the ground to salute. Yun Shumo nodded and let Zhongqing calm down, then ignored anyone anymore, and led Hua Qing Yan Shiran to the imperial garden.

The banquet has not yet begun, and there is a side hall next to the imperial garden that can be used to rest, and the emperor is afraid where they are at this moment.

After the figures of the two disappeared, the girls withdrew their stupid gaze, and the handkerchiefs in their hands had been twisted in a short period of time, which showed how strong they were.

"That county lord, it's so good-looking!" One girl said.

"How about looking good! Don't forget, she snatched our king! ”

"But the prince wasn't ours before." The girl retorted in a low voice, "The county lord and the prince are really a good match, I am so envious." ”

"What's the use of envy, what we have to do is to snatch the prince back!"

The girl looked at her companion in surprise, and shook her head: "Impossible, if you do this, the prince will hate you!" ”

"I don't care! The prince can only be mine alone in this life! ”
