75 Twists and 800 Diamonds
Madame raised her hand and pressed it, indicating that she already knew, and she sighed silently and walked out of the courtyard.
When Ye Tingcheng and the others returned to the front, the princess pulled Ye Tingcheng to introduce several noblewomen. Ye Tingcheng didn't remember the faces of a few people anyway, the princess called her a person, and she called it, fortunately, she had the title of the county lord, and she didn't have to see someone to salute, but Ye Miaocheng was forced to do it, and when she saw one salute, the whole person was almost bad.
The female guests greeted each other here, and the male guests slowly approached the center of the courtyard in twos and threes, and from time to time they also glanced over to see the female guests in the courtyard. Ye Tingcheng also sneaked around, and sure enough, there were mostly boys and girls, which was the prototype of a large-scale blind date in ancient times. Ye Tingcheng complained in his heart, but the people who came to participate were not older leftover girls, but girls of the same age.
After about a while, everyone moved towards the Liuchun Terrace in the courtyard.
Liuchun platform is located in a higher position, the surrounding is open, the ground is neat bluestone paving, around the Liuchun platform there is a small stream that is artificially excavated at a glance, the creek is nine curves and links, the bends flow from the foot, around the Liuchun platform around several bends, there is a small waterfall hanging down under the Liuchun platform, the water is like white practice, the inclination is like broken silver, fall into the pool under the stage, splash a piece of pearl and jade. On both sides of Liuchun Terrace is the verdant lawn is surrounded by the stream and divided into several pieces, the lawn breaks the long table table in turn, and the chairs of sour branch wood are placed behind it, the tables and chairs are matching, and the shapes of flowers, birds and birds are carved on them, which are very exquisite and luxurious, and the table table is placed with wine, honey and other colorful drinks, as well as seasonal fruits and a variety of exquisite snacks and dried fruits.
When the princess brought Ye Tingcheng and Ye Miaocheng over, the ladies who had already sat down came forward to salute the princess, if there was no one from the palace, the princess's name would be the biggest.
At this time, a few fathers-in-law hurriedly came, and also moved a dragon-shaped carved chair of golden silk nanmu and placed it in the center of the stage.
Just when everyone was wondering, a sharp voice sounded, and a father-in-law in a dark brown brocade robe sang loudly, "The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived, and Concubine Hui has arrived." ”
There was a slight commotion in the crowd, and no one expected that this flower would lead the emperor and the queen and Concubine Hui to come out.
However, everyone present is a famous family in Beijing, and they have all seen the scene, and everyone's surprise is only temporary, and they reacted after a while, and everyone got up and knelt down one after another, shouting long live.
Ye Chengcheng also knelt behind the princess, she lowered her head and peeked forward. This is the first time she has seen the emperor in time, a living emperor! So she couldn't help but not look.
I saw two teams of Gong'e walking in from the outside, holding all kinds of things in their hands, some of which Ye Qingcheng could call, and some of whom she couldn't call, followed by two rows of guards who opened the way, all wearing the costumes of Jinyi Weinan, and that should be the person from Jinyi Weinan Zhenfusi. After the guards came in, they surrounded this side, and a few people led Emperor Zhao and the Empress in, and behind them was Concubine Hui.
Emperor Zhao's face looks very good, he is a middle-aged beautiful uncle, because he is well maintained, so he looks much lighter than his actual age. The queen's face can only be described as delicate, but it is full of momentum, and the corners of her eyes are slightly raised. And needless to say, the appearance of Concubine Hui Niangniang who was following her, even Ye Tingcheng felt moved when she saw it.
This is her own aunt? Sure enough, it's a big beauty! Xiao Yunmo's appearance is five points like her.
Behind them was Princess Jian'an, and behind Princess Jian'an were several courtiers, Ye Qingcheng had sharp eyes, and he saw his father at a glance.
"I was discussing things with a few old courtiers, but unfortunately I didn't have any eyebrows. Thinking that you are holding a flower party here, I also brought a few old courtiers over to join in the excitement of the young people. Emperor Zhao walked to the back of the dragon chair and sat down, and then said with a smile to the person who knelt on the ground, "Everyone won't be unwelcome, right?" ”
"The ministers are terrified." Everyone said in unison.
"Don't even kneel. Get up and speak. Don't spoil everyone's interest because I'm here. Emperor Zhao joked.
The crowd who knelt on the ground to take over the car was then flattened.
The Duchess of Yasukuni stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the Empress and Concubine Hui can come to the cold house in person, that is a great honor." "Emperor Zhao came suddenly this time, and even she didn't know it beforehand, it seems that it was really a temporary idea.
"Madam, is the old man's health a little better?" Emperor Zhao asked with a smile.
"When people are old, just like that, one will be sober, and the other will be confused." The Duchess sighed and said, "Your Majesty is concerned, and it is really not suitable for my grandson to see people." ”
"It's okay, it's good for the old country to take care of his illness." Emperor Zhao nodded and reassured.
The Duke of Yasukuni is very old, and a few years ago he heard that his son and eldest grandson were destined to fall to the border, and as soon as he was in a hurry, he suffered a stroke and was half paralyzed in bed.
When everyone heard about the conversation between Emperor Zhao and the Duchess of Yasukuni, they realized that although the Duchess Mansion had been silent for a long time, it still had a lot of weight in Emperor Zhao's heart, and the sons of the family and the eldest son of the family had sacrificed their lives for the country, and this honor was also deserved by the people. It can be seen from the fact that Emperor Zhao can come to the flower meeting in person.
Emperor Zhao came at this time, probably to come to see everyone's talents, so the ladies in the mansions were busy secretly telling the children who had signed up in their own families, this time it was a big deal, and they must not make a fool of themselves in front of others, and lose face in front of His Majesty, the queen and Concubine Hui.
Xiao Yunmo saw that his father and mother were coming, and he also came out of the crowd and came to say goodbye.
"Mo'er is also there." Emperor Zhao was very happy to see Xiao Yunmo, beckoned to him, and motioned for him to sit down at his place.
"Is Mo'er okay today?" The queen asked.
"After returning to my mother." Xiao Yunmo got up and arched his hand, "Today's master Mu Xiu, so I also gave my son a day off." ”
"You're with a good master." The queen smiled faintly, "Your brothers are very busy. ”
"A combination of work and rest." Emperor Zhao interrupted the empress's words and said with a smile, "You can't let the children be busy all day." ”
"Yes." The queen then shut up.
Concubine Hui sat on the other side of the emperor and pursed her lips silently.
The queen said that it was nothing more than to say that Xiao Yunmo's plaything was demoralized, but in fact, the queen was really doing something redundant, Xiao Yunmo had already taken leave with Emperor Zhao before, and it was the queen who came to prevent it. Besides, His Majesty is here today, is it interesting to say more?
The queen is not stupid, but she has relied on her grace and majesty over the years, and she has always been used to being so flamboyant. Concubine Hui restrained her expression, and the queen followed her no matter what, because Concubine Hui could see that Emperor Zhao had gradually lost patience with the queen. Time is such a thing, it is really a weapon to consume people, no amount of kindness can withstand the waste of time, plus the queen does not know how to converge, but she is afraid of grinding faster.
"The flower party of the Yasukuni Mansion will reopen after many years, and I am also here to join in the fun." Emperor Zhao waved his sleeves, "How should everyone be, don't be restrained just because I came." ”
"Father." Princess Jian'an was originally standing behind Emperor Zhao, and after listening to Emperor Zhao's words, she came up with a smile, "My father is here today, why don't you add some color, it will be a talent competition soon, and it should be a hundred flowers." ”
"Jian'an is right." Emperor Zhao nodded with a smile and said, "I am here today, and I can't come empty-handed, whoever wins today's competition will have the prize doubled, and I will be rewarded with a jade pendant." What do you think? ”
As soon as Emperor Zhao's words came out, everyone shouted long live, and the crowd was emotional, what a glory it was to get His Majesty's jade pendant.
The butler of the Yasukuni Mansion announced the start of the talent competition.
First of all, a few girls from the family went up to play singing and dancing for a while, each with its own merits, not to mention more.
Ye Tingcheng watched it with relish, watching the show for free, not watching it for nothing, anyway, she was a layman, she just watched it lively, and she couldn't see any doorway.
"These talents are average." Ye Miaocheng whispered. "The more powerful it is, the more about it is behind."
"Oh." Ye Tingcheng nodded, "Is that all arranged in advance?" ”
"yes. Fame is just a matter of size. These are all unknown names that came up in front of us. Ye Miaocheng nodded.
"But I'm already feeling good." Ye Qingcheng smiled, she wouldn't be able to anyway.
"There's a better one in the back." Ye Miaocheng said with a smile. "Let's just look at it."
Princess Jian'an stood behind Her Majesty, and when she saw Ye Tingcheng and Ye Miaocheng whispering to the two people sitting below, a faint smile flashed in her eyes.
She looked at her brother Xiao Yunmo again, and saw that he was looking at Ye Qingcheng, and the smile in her eyes was a little unnatural.
She had an idea, leaned over and whispered two words in Emperor Zhao's ear, and when Emperor Zhao heard it, he laughed, "This is a good idea, you go and talk to the master's house." ”
"Yes." Princess Jian'an turned around and left with the maids, walked straight to the side of the Duchess of Yasukuni, approached the lady and whispered what she had just said again.
Duchess Yasukuni was slightly stunned at first, and then nodded. Princess Jian'an left satisfied, returned to Emperor Zhao and sat down.
The people from the Yasukuni Mansion called Mei Shi again and whispered.
Mei frowned a little embarrassed, but finally complied.
"Everyone, you might as well break the rules of the previous flower party today." Mei Shi and other talented performers got off the Liuchun platform, walked up by themselves and said, "Today, we don't have to follow the order of registration, it's better to follow the play of the ancients, the water flows, and whoever stops in front of this boat will come up to perform." Let's see how it goes. ”
This...... Will the rules be changed?
