Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Same Costume of Sao Bao
The day before the banquet in the Prince's Mansion, the worried old lady called Nuoya to Haitang Bay to give a lecture. This time, it was not to teach some cumbersome etiquette.
The old lady retreated, leaving only a mother-in-law who was waiting for her, and then handed a few densely recorded pages of paper to Noya: "You should barely be able to read these words, right?" β
Noya took it hard, knowing that she couldn't hide it from the old lady, and admitted calmly: "I know everything." β
"It's not that you can't be illiterate." The old lady nodded: "What is recorded above is a simple information about the net worth background of the concubines in the prince's mansion, you must memorize it word for word today." β
Noah glanced at it cursory, a little dumbfounded. Originally, I thought that a hundred miles and nine winds were wandering, and the backyard was full of purple and red flowers, but I didn't expect that compared with this prince, it turned out to be a small thing.
The princess of the prince's mansion, the side concubine and the concubine, there are nearly twenty people in total, and this is not a girl with no name!
It turns out that this prince is also a fellow practitioner of Baili Jiu, and he is even better! No wonder the crown princess was full of resentment, wanting to be dissatisfied, and sprinkled all her anger on herself, according to this calculation, it would be good for the prince to go to her room on the fifteenth day of the first month of the month.
"Remember, every side concubine, concubine's background and her power background must be memorized and not confused." The old lady commanded indifferently.
Noya looked through them one by one with a sad face, and the names of each lady or concubine were all marked in detail with their father's official position, their mother's maiden background, and their brothers' official residences in the court.
The royal family and officialdom are completely alien to Noah. She was in the Linlang Pavilion, and the ones she heard the most were Bailijiu and Chu Qingchen, and almost had calluses in her ears.
Baili Jiu is a well-known son-in-law of Qinglou, and almost every few days, you can hear his glorious deeds of spending a lot of money in order to please Jinniang, which makes the girls envious and sighing. And the second prince, who is stunning all over the world, covers all continents with his knowledge, and is the object of coveted by the daughters of the world. The girls in the pavilion often gather in groups of three or five, chattering and making some meat and vegetable jokes, drawing cakes to satisfy hunger, and chatting as comfort.
She knew very little about the crown prince and the three princes, let alone their families. The unfamiliar and awkward rank and title alone already made her dizzy and miserable.
Noya inevitably criticized in her heart, she was just carrying her mouth on her shoulder, and she came back after a banquet in the past, and she was not an official in the court, dealing with these people, and understanding what these things were about.
Complaining is complaining, because of the majesty of the old lady, Noah still looks at it honestly, and tries to keep it in his heart, thinking that there should be some reason.
In the afternoon, the old lady solemnly took out a page and handed it to Nuoya, with only a few words on it: The third princess, Chen Liangyin, the daughter of the richest businessman in Jiangnan.
Noah is a little inexplicable.
The old lady said extremely seriously: "Three Princes' Mansion, you only need to know this one personβChen Liangyin." β
I didn't expect these three princes to be infatuated, only one concubine was accepted, and they were not the daughters of eunuchs.
Because of the old lady's vigilant attitude like facing a great enemy, Noya was also very impressed by the three princesses, and when the old lady finally asked, she only remembered her name, and even the crown princess who had a gap with herself was left behind.
originally thought that the old lady would be furious and reprimand herself. Unexpectedly, her face was surprisingly pleasant, and she asked gently, "Aren't these complicated and headaches?" β
Noah nodded aggrievedly, pitiful.
The old lady snorted coldly and actually laughed: "It's hard to remember." I just want to tell you, don't underestimate a small banquet, thinking that a little cleverness is enough, there is a deep water in it. If you don't have a good water, let me stay on the shore honestly, but don't plunge into it, we won't even be able to catch a corpse. β
"Uh......" The old lady's words changed a little quickly, and Noah didn't keep up with the rhythm for a while.
The old lady waved her hand at her, signaling that she could retreat: "If you can't remember these things, you only need to remember one sentence, and that is to be cautious in your words and deeds." β
Noah was angry in her heart, and she let herself carry the cobwebs for a day, just to warn herself of these four words. What are you doing in such a big circle, I, Lin Nuoya, am not a little white flower, nor an elm lump that is not open, do you think I don't know, his prince married so many bodhisattvas at home, just to envelop the family forces behind them?
Just tell me simply and rudely, eat more vegetables and talk less, pretend to be stupid and mix less, isn't it over?
is so worried about it, going around in circles, and there are many defeated mothers, no wonder the Baili Nine Sect is raised into such an unsuccessful loser.
The next day, it was the banquet of the prince's mansion.
For the Prince's Mansion, Qin Darling can be said to be familiar with the way, but who would want to let go of such an opportunity to be in the limelight?
Therefore, Qin Bao'er and An Ruoxi both got up quite early today and began to wash and dress up.
Noah's clothes had been made two days ago, and Noah was thoughtful, and carefully checked the stitches of the clothes, which were fine and strong, and he was relieved.
The clothes are really close-fitting, especially the waistline is well tucked, which looks bumpy and hot. The smoky blue cage smoke flow moire satin, the silver fox fur trim, is not bloated at all.
The most suitable for Noya's mind is the simplicity and elegance of this dress, quiet and unassuming, and the embroidery is not an ordinary cheesy flower and plant, but a few strokes of the water town scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, which complements the color of the clothes, just right, reducing a little bit of the sassy and heroic spirit on Noya's face, and blending two points of softness and lightness.
At the insistence of Ji Pozi, the hair was coiled into a not cumbersome magnolia bun, fixed with a smooth and transparent jasper hairpin, and afraid of shabby, the hairpin was gilded and inlaid with jade, and the two butterflies scratched their heads, and slightly applied powder.
For the first time, Noya spent so much effort to put on makeup, and several girls snorted and praised that she was the Yaochi fairy who had fallen into the mortal world by mistake.
Noah only talked about a few clever words, exaggerated, and ignored them, but he was still a little complacent in his heart. She was still faintly a little Jiujiu in her heart, at the banquet, if she met Chu Tianchen, she should sincerely thank him, so that she could clean up neatly, and she would not be as embarrassed as the last two times, too shameless.
Bailijiu personally came to urge, and even wore a brocade robe with the same fabric, the same style, and even the same embroidery as her, which restrained his evil and unbridled atmosphere, and looked much more elegant and indifferent.
Baili Jiuyi entered the door and saw Nuoya standing in the middle of the hall neatly, like a hibiscus out of the water, Tingting was straight, her eyes were bright, and her squinting eyes were patrolling in front of her round chest several times, which had a deep meaning.
"It turns out that this is not a mountain, and it does not dew that it means so, and today I know what it means to be deeply invisible."
Baili Jiu's words were tacit, and the bellflower people didn't know what they meant, and looked at each other.
Noya naturally knew that his indecent words were clearly making fun of himself, and glared at him angrily, crying bitterly, can the same clothes of the two of them not be criticized? Qin and An saw it, and it was strange not to give themselves small shoes to wear!
She didn't say a word, turned around and went to empty the suitcase: "Kikyo, come and help me find the apricot blossom white jacket I made last time." β
Kikyo looked at Baili Nine in embarrassment.
Bailijiu stepped forward and grabbed her hand, closed the suitcase, and dragged it out without saying a word, ignoring her protests, and forced it into the carriage.
Qin Darling and An Ruoxi's eyes really looked at her with something as sharp as a knife, mixed with resentment and jealousy.
Fortunately, the banquet in the conservatory of the Prince's Mansion is divided into left and right halls, and the male and female guests are temporarily separated by a flower wall. As soon as Baili Jiu entered the Prince's Mansion, he was surrounded by a few fox friends and dog friends, and after a laugh, he went to the men's seat to drink and catch up.
Qin Bao'er said that she was going to find the crown princess to catch up, but after leaving the words, she turned around and disappeared. An Ruoxi naturally also had a familiar girlfriend during the banquet, beckoning her to sit down in front of her, whispering in a low voice, and hanging Noya in place. From time to time, eyes full of inquiry and sarcasm drifted towards her.
The accompanying mother-in-law was the most powerful in front of the old lady, and she told Noya in a hurry that the seats were arranged according to their status, and the further in, the more noble the owner of the seat became......
Noah knew what she meant by the second half of the sentence, and consciously found the most inconspicuous seat in the corner of the door, and ate tea quietly. Behind her is a splendid screen, and she can see the endless stream of guests at the entrance of the conservatory, which is not boring.
On the table adjacent to Noya's seat, there was a group of young girls of twenty-eight years old, surrounded by Zhu Huancui, dressed exquisitely, all of them were daughters of official families, who came out to show their faces through such a banquet.
Several people exchanged heads and chatted hotly.
There was a little girl called Miaoyun inside, who was particularly lively on Twitter, and there was a slightly older and more stable girl beside her, pulling her clothes from time to time, and her face was flushed.
"If you keep being so noisy and restless, you will inevitably be punished by your mother when you return home."
Miaoyun was honest for a moment, and became active again, and it was difficult to hide her nature.
"The second prince is here!" Miaoyun lowered her voice and exclaimed, and stood up with a "poof".
During the banquet, the girl immediately stopped talking, flocked behind the screen, and excitedly stretched her neck to look out from the hollow.
Nuoya couldn't help but turn her head, and saw that Chu Tianchen, who was really dressed in dusty white, came in with the curtain under the courtesy of several sons and brothers, and walked towards the men's seats on the side.
There were many amazing sounds during the banquet, one after another. Chu Qingchen seems to have been accustomed to this for a long time, his eyes do not squint, and there is a little cold arrogance in his warmth.
Several people reluctantly retracted their gazes, and someone joked about Na Miaoyun: "I said that I came here early in the morning and occupied this seat, and no one let me, it turned out that it was to peek at the second prince." Hurry up and wipe the saliva from the side of your mouth, otherwise when the princess sees it, she will definitely think that she is treating you slowly, and will serve you a basin of pig's trotters. β
Miaoyun was not ashamed, and immediately fought back: "Every time you see the ninth master of the general's mansion, you are not the same nymphomaniac, lost your soul, and we are only half a catty and eight taels." β
