In the blink of an eye, it was the palace banquet in the third day, and Beigong Xuan and Dongfang Ying'er arrived at the palace gate almost at the same time.

Beigong Xuan's dress is fresh and elegant, and she is not ostentatious at all. Dongfang Yinger is slightly plump compared to her, and her clothes are magnificent, and she looks full of luxury.

She looked at each other and smiled after meeting Beigong Xuan, and Beigong Xuan took the initiative to step forward according to the advice of the strategist, and held her hand: "I finally saw my sister, I was really born with nobility, and my reputation is well deserved." ”

Dongfang Ying'er probably didn't expect Beigong Xuan to be so affectionate, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, naturally she is polite: "Sister's outfit is extraordinary, which is refreshing." ”

Beigong Xuan chatted with Dongfang Yinger enthusiastically, beckoning someone to send a meeting gift.

"I know that my sister has an extraordinary background and her family is rich enough to rival the country, so my sister can't think of any suitable meeting gift that can get into your eyes. My sister doesn't dislike my sister for being shabby here, and she has a heart. ”

Dongfang Ying'er was stunned, she also didn't expect Beigong Xuan to be so thoughtful, but she came empty-handed. But fortunately, all the hairpin ring jewelry on the body is priceless, and you can take it off casually. Therefore, he was not polite, accepted the gift, and untied a piece of blood-patterned cold jade in return.

After going back and forth, the two got closer.

Beigong Xuan spoke implicitly, and said frankly: "Before I left my hometown, my father earnestly told him that he and Shibo are close friends, and you and I are both here to choose concubines. ”

Dongfang Ying'er was not stupid and breathable, and as soon as she heard Beigong Xuan say it, she immediately knew her thoughts.

Not to mention the show girls who participated in the election in the Beijing officials, there are three county lords among the vassal kings alone, each with its own merits, and it is impossible to distinguish which is better or worse, and everyone has a thirty percent chance. If the two can form an alliance, support each other, and isolate Xue Qingran, then the two of them have a slightly better chance of winning, and there may be a chance of four or five percent.

As soon as Xue Qingran was mentioned, the anger in Dongfang Yinger's heart began to steam.

She happily agreed, and after two or three sentences, she mentioned Xue Qingran. The two coincided, disdainfully picked a few words, indignantly condemned what she had done, and soon formed an alliance with the same hatred, agreeing that the two would work together and must support each other.

The two of them pleaded with each other, but in fact, they also had ghosts in their hearts, and they talked and laughed all the way into the palace.

Walking outside the palace gate, I saw a carriage covered with a brocade canopy parked on the side, the coachman was wearing green feathers on his head, and he was dressed in a short dress, but Xue Qingran had already arrived.

Beigong Xuan pretended to be unintentional and asked the palace people who came out of the palace to greet the two: "Has the county lord of Qingran arrived?" ”

The palace people nodded and bowed, very respectful: "The two county lords of Qiqi, the county lord of Qingran has arrived more than half an hour ago. ”

Beigong Xuan and Dongfang Ying'er glanced at each other, and they all tacitly agreed.

Now there is still a stick of incense time before the banquet starts, but Xue Qingran has already entered the palace more than half an hour in advance, showing that he has a ghost in his heart and has a plan to enter the palace in advance.

The two didn't dare to delay, Yuehua sent a small sedan chair to greet them, and the two got on the sedan chair without saying a word and entered the Qingqiu Palace directly.

In the Qingqiu Palace, Xue Qingran was sitting opposite Yuehua, talking and laughing happily. On the desk next to it, there is a dazzling box of Nanzhu.

In the voice of the palace people's announcement, the two entered in Graceful, Yuehua stood up, full of joy: "The two county lords are looking forward to coming." ”

The two stepped forward to pay respects, and they were particularly well-behaved and supple.

Yuehua stepped forward to personally help the two of them up, and after a little greeting, Xue Qingran stepped forward and greeted the two.

Xue Qingran is petite and exquisite, today's clothing is biased towards the Nanzhao style, the color is gorgeous, the embroidery is heavy, the whole person is like a colorful peacock, and there is no dazzling sense of boredom.

"The two younger sisters are late, but the queen is looking forward to it." Xue Qingran smiled skillfully and was very enthusiastic.

In front of the queen, although they are enemies and red-eyed, they still have to get by on the surface.

Dongfang Ying'er half-jokingly: "It's not that the two of us are late, I'm afraid that sister, you intend to take the lead, right?" ”

Xue Qingran smiled disappreciatively: "I also just entered the palace, and this pestle is still hot." ”

Beigong Xuan and Dongfang Ying'er invariably bent the corners of their lips slightly. The palace people at the door said that she had been there for more than half an hour, but she deliberately covered it up, and it was clear that she was a thief.

Yuehua saw that the two of them were not good-looking, and smiled skillfully: "The two of us are still talking about the two of you, I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." ”

Beigong Xuan glanced at Xue Qingran: "Sister Xue has always been the most well-informed, if there is anything going on in the capital, she can't hide it, and the queen mother is looking for her to talk to relieve her boredom, but it is the best." ”

Xue Qingran was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand that as soon as the two met, although they were polite, they couldn't touch the right words, where did they come from such heavy hostility?

She originally wanted to be thoughtful in front of the queen, but whoever wanted the two of them to sing and harmonize, pointing at Sang and sneering at her, immediately ridiculed each other without giving in.

"The world in this capital is Niangniang's, what rare words can I say? However, the two younger sisters are both knowledgeable and insightful, and they have hills and valleys in their chests, and they are ashamed of themselves. ”

Liang Zi has already been settled, so Xue Qingran did not show weakness in the face of the ridicule of the two, praised and depreciated, and after a war of words, the war between the three of them was transferred from the open and secret struggle of yin and loss to the table.

This strong smell of medicine can be smelled by anyone.

Yuehua watched coldly, waited for the fire, and then rounded the field just right: "Since the sisters have already arrived, the banquet has already been prepared, why don't we sit at the table, drink and chat, have wine to help the fun, and talk highly, it is also so enjoyable." ”

The queen didn't dare to make a mistake in front of her, and the three of them immediately shut up and died down.

The banquet was held in the warm pavilion.

Concubine Ling and Concubine Crane were invited to make an appointment belatedly.

Concubine Ling is still dressed in full costume, wearing Ding Dong, radiant, and full of extravagance that people dare not look at directly.

Even in such a cold weather, Concubine Crane still wears wide sleeves, light gauze gracefully, elegant and frugal, and elegant. Especially her face, which glows with a different brilliance, fragrant skin and snow skin, delicate as porcelain, moist and pure, like a newborn baby, which is amazing.

The three noble girls were full of envy when they first saw Yuehua, this bearing was beautiful in the sky and on earth, worthy of being the queen mother of the world, Concubine Ling and Concubine Crane came into the palace, and they were also competing for beauty, each with its own merits.

The three of them couldn't help muttering in their hearts, if they came to the palace by themselves, they would be afraid that they would immediately hide their own brilliance and be dim. Some people have already become ashamed of themselves.

Several people met and saluted, politely two sentences, the banquet hall sat down, the palace people came in with wine and vegetables, amber wine, glass cups, swallow wings and sea cucumbers, dazzling.

As the lord of the first palace and the host, Yuehua is naturally diligent and persuasive, generous and decent, elegant and calm.

The vocal music started, the silk and bamboo bursts, the light singing and dancing, and the six fairy-like beauties pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the atmosphere was rare and harmonious.

Xian Ge followed the crane concubine to serve, and even hotted the wine, pouring down a cup of glass, the amount of wine of the crane concubine was also good, the wine was dry, and the drink was full of hot sweat, warm and fragrant.

The charcoal fire in the warm pavilion was burning, and Yuehua was also stuffy with fragrant sweat, and when she removed her coat, she still felt hot.

Concubine Ling glanced at Concubine Crane coldly: "It's hot in the warm pavilion today, even if you eat cold wine, you feel thirsty, why does Concubine Crane still like to eat hot wine and sweat all over her body?" ”

Concubine Crane raised her hand and smiled: "The wine is hot and dry, you have to eat it hot, so that it will come out with the sweat, and the wine will wake up quickly, and you won't have a hangover and headache." In this cold day, if the wine is cold, if you eat it in the stomach, you must warm your stomach and stomach, and if you are cold and excited, it will condense in the internal organs, will it not hurt the body? As the old saying goes, 'cold wine and cold kang, medicinal soup through the intestines' is this principle. ”

Beigong Xuanxiang on the side followed suit: "If Concubine Crane likes to eat hot wine, why don't you drink some Huadiao, and cook it with plum or ginger, and the wine is not so strong." ”

Xue Qingran immediately caught the words and grinned: "Sister Beigong is a famous doctor, and what she says is insightful, so I can't believe it." “

Her words were clearly exposed, and she was especially sarcastic in Beigong Xuan's ears, and her face immediately fell, full of embarrassment.

Yuehua nodded: "The lord of Beigong County is reasonable, this point is indeed not considered by this palace. There are indeed good flower carvings in the palace, and the stove is also ready-made, so someone will cook it and everyone will try it. ”

A few people were not greedy for alcohol, but they just mentioned it casually, and when they heard Yuehua say this, they humbly said "don't bother".

Yuehua was extremely enthusiastic, and had already instructed the palace people to bring the best Huadiao wine over, and patted the mud seal on the spot, and suddenly the wine was fragrant, with a sweet taste.

Immediately after, there were palace mermaids rushing in, each holding a charcoal stove in his hand, placing it in a seat near each master, placing the hot wine pot pier on it, pouring in the flower carving, inquiring about their own hobbies, and putting in plum or ginger shreds.

Suddenly, the rich and sweet smell of wine filled the air, which made people smell intoxicating.

As the aroma of the wine rises, there is also heat. The room became hotter and hotter, and the palace people who served were all sweating profusely.

When the nobles went out, the maids brought a change of clothes in case of emergency, and Yuehua ordered someone to take the three county lords to the side of the room to change the heavy clothes, and they were relaxed.

Concubine Ling sat on Yuehua's right hand, and when the heat came up, the wisps of fragrance on her body drilled into Yuehua's nose.

Yuehua's heart suddenly moved, as if the strings in her heart were plucked by this fragrance, and she trembled lightly.

She turned her head and glanced at Concubine Ling quietly, and then leaned over to her under the pretext of sifting the wine by herself, raising her nose and sniffing lightly.

What a unique and familiar aroma!

Yuehua was suspicious in her heart, and couldn't help but look at her twice.

Concubine Ling seemed to be aware of it, and covered her lips: "What's wrong?" Is there anything dirty on the concubine's face? ”

"Where?" Yuehua smiled, took out the handkerchief, and suddenly stretched out his hand coldly and wiped it on her face: "It's just that this rouge hasn't been smudged, and it looks a little abrupt." ”
