Chapter 143: Banquet in Chihua Palace
The ladies listened to Jia Lin's opinion, but they were also happy, and then they talked and laughed and walked towards Qihua Palace.
Along the way, the palace people saw that everyone was bending down to avoid it.
Mo Nishang looked at the palatial palace compound, but there was no big wave, in fact, the young ladies were also relatively calm about the palace compound, and those who could come were all from excellent families, even if they had never been to this quality, they were still there, but it was that Qiaoxi, every time they saw rare treasures, they covered their mouths and exclaimed.
She had never seen any of these treasures, and this was the first time she had come to this palace. After all, although her stepfather has a certain relationship, as a real world, her stepfather may not have seen it, let alone Qiaoxi from a small place.
When everyone saw Qiaoxi's appearance that they had never seen the world, they couldn't help but be full of disdain. After all, they have all participated in such a high-level banquet, and they will not be able to hide themselves this time, this Qiaoxi is a sparrow in the eyes of these dignitaries, and he will never be able to become a phoenix.
It didn't take long for everyone to arrive at the glorious Qihua Palace, I don't know if everyone was walking too fast or the distance was a little farther.
Qihua Palace is a special place in the palace to receive guests, as soon as they arrived at Qihua Palace, everyone was waiting in front of the palace to welcome in.
Looking at this majestic palace, everyone couldn't help but be cautious in their hearts, the so-called once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, this palace that eats people and does not spit out bones, every word and deed is particularly important.
They are all important ministers of the court or their family members, and everyone has received a good education, except for people like Qiaoxi, of course.
Because it is the palace to receive guests, this Qihua Palace is also a symbolic place, I heard that a hundred years ago, the ancestor emperor invited this Quartet saint craftsman to cast it, and the things in it, even if it is a cup, a lampshade are also expensive, rare treasures in the world.
After everyone sat down, a grandmother wearing a green silk brocade printed gown walked into the hall, cleared her throat, and glanced at everyone very sharply, "All the young ladies can talk about themselves here, the emperor has not yet come, the old slave will go to the front to explore first." ”
After saying that, Mama went out with a few people.
After the grandmother left, everyone was a little relieved, and then chatted in groups.
Mo Nishang looked at the index fingers on the table, who didn't know that the things that came out of this imperial dining room were extremely delicious!
Zhao Changle looked at Mo Nishang's greedy cat, and felt very helpless, holding his forehead with his hand, and said, "Only you still care about eating." ”
Although everyone looks very relaxed now, the tense air flow in the air still can't be ignored.
Mo Nishang glanced at Zhao Changle, with a snack stuffed in his mouth, bulging, and muttered back, not knowing what he was talking about.
Then, Mo Nisheng's eyes widened, coughing "cough", her face was pale, and she threw a look at Zhao Changle for help.
Zhao Changle rolled his eyes, but he still quickly poured a glass of water for Mo Nishang, Mo Nishang went into the water, feeling that everything stuck in his throat was swallowed along the water, he felt a lot better, his face also returned to ruddy, and he glanced at Zhao Changle with appreciation, "Today I found that you finally did something to accumulate virtue." ”
Zhao Changle glared at Mo Nishang sullenly, asking you not to eat and look at Mo Nishang with eyes that you didn't listen.
"Whoever makes you eat so urgently, your daughter's family should be reserved." Zhao Changle pretended to be deep and looked at Mo Nishang with a smile.
Mo Nishang shrugged indifferently, bowed her head and said nothing, and then picked up the snacks on the plate. Then I put it in my mouth, and after eating, I licked my lips with satisfaction, and it looked very cute.
Zhao Changle watched this scene, and remembered the idea of teasing her again, but saw a group of noisy people around. The mood is not so good.
The ladies on the side were also chatting hotly, although this Qiaoxi is usually unpopular, but there are naturally still people who want to curry favor with her.
Aren't these Liu Huier and Cao Zhen just that?
Qiao Xi looked at Liu Hui'er and Cao Zhen on both sides, and pretended to be mysterious, "Do you know what this Hundred Flowers Banquet is mainly for?" ”
was originally an innocent and romantic girl, although this scheming is heavier, in the end it is still a girl's heart, and suddenly Liu Huier and Cao Zhen's curiosity was raised, and she hurriedly asked: "Qiaoxi, say it quickly." ”
"You'll find out later." Qiaoxi's mouth is very strict, and his father-in-law said that he can't say it.
Liu Huier and Cao Zhen are a little disappointed, but they are still looking forward to it.
In fact, this banquet has a tacit theme, but it mainly depends on the emperor's mood. But it doesn't have to be successful. After all, the concubines who successfully entered the palace at the Hundred Flowers Banquet did not have one in Nangong Tian's generation.
Suddenly, Cao Zhen saw that the hairsticks on Qiaoxi's bun were very beautiful, and she praised "Your hairbuds are so beautiful." ”
Qiaoxi was immediately full of shyness and was very proud. "Of course, my stepfather spent a lot of manpower to build it for me."
I have to say that the hair stick is a good thing, and Liu Huier and Cao Zhen are really envious in their hearts, and they secretly sigh that this Qiaoxi doesn't know what blessings they have accumulated in their previous life, and they can meet Zhang Daguan.
Feeling the envious gaze of the two, Qiaoxi was very useful. After all, these are all the family members of the big officials in the court, and being able to look at her like this makes her vanity very satisfied.
"Zhang Daguan is really good to you." Liu Hui'er said half flattering and half envious. The look in his eyes flowed.
"That's nature." Qiaoxi looked at Liu Hui'er a little condescendingly, feeling that she was born with dignity.
Jia Lin, who was sitting next to Liu Hui'er, came over to look at Qiao Xi and said, "Qiao Xi, how is Zhang Daguan doing recently?" ”
Looking at Jia Lin, although she didn't like it, even Qiaoxi knew that this was the palace compound, "Naturally, it's very good." ”
As soon as Jia Lin wanted to reply, she was snatched away by the woman who laughed at Qiaoxi just now, "What about your mother?" ”
The woman's eyebrows were full of mockery and looked at Qiaoxi, but she was a clown who was difficult to get into the elegant hall, and she was still here to be powerful, and she could really come in with anything in their noble circle.
Qiaoxi heard the woman mention her lowly mother, her face was slightly embarrassed, and then she looked at the woman calmly, "It's just a lowly thing, so why pollute the ears of the sisters." ”
In her eyes, the only thing her mother did right was to give her such a face.
Hearing Qiaoxi say this, everyone couldn't help but sigh, thinking that this Qiaoxi was a little arrogant, but they didn't expect it to be a heartless thing. Although her mother didn't come out of everyone, looking at her current appearance, her mother didn't think much about her, but now she has been ended up like this.
The woman looked at Qiaoxi very disagreeably, "Anyway, she is also your biological mother." ”
These noble girls in the capital, who have been reading the rules of female training since childhood, are looking for the etiquette of the saint, and they are naturally very disgusted by Qiaoxi's behavior.
Qiaoxi shrugged indifferently, "The only noble person in my life is my father-in-law." ”
Yes, her father-in-law took her out of poverty and came to a distant place that many people can only look at, and other people are nothing!
Liu Huier and the two echoed again and again.
Everyone looked at them with disdain, and then they didn't look at Qiaoxi. Not paying attention to her, they also know it's not worth it.
And Jia Lin still didn't seem to be willing to give up, and said leisurely to Qiaoxi, "Qiaoxi, yesterday I heard people say that your mother is seriously ill now, haven't you invited her old man to Langzhong?" ”
Qiaoxi hurt her father to lose face in front of the saint, how could she not let her make a fool of herself.
Qiaoxi didn't think about it so much, and blurted out directly: "Please Langzhong?" Miss Ben didn't want to see her. ”
The tone was extremely contemptuous, which made everyone in the hall feel cold, but Qiaoxi didn't know it, and still looked high.
Zhao Changle and Mo Nisheng, who were originally watching the play on the side, couldn't stand it anymore when they saw this, and the corners of their mouths were slightly raised, "There are really some dogs, and they can't be raised." ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at Qiaoxi with gloating eyes.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Qiaoxi naturally knew that Zhao Changle was talking about himself, although he was very angry in his heart, he still looked at Zhao Changle with a stupid face, and was silent.
Qiaoxi lowered her head, her weak body looked a little sad, and I felt pity for it, which made all the young ladies unhappy.
The woman who had attacked Qiaoxi began to speak again.
"Miss Zhao is right, Miss Qiaoxi, you must not do this." The woman lowered her head, played with her fingers, and bit the word "girl" very hard.
Qiaoxi's face was unbearable, and he said yes stupidly.
I have more resentment towards Zhao Changle in my heart, it's all this slut!
Feeling Qiaoxi's vicious gaze, Zhao Changle responded very proudly, she has always disliked this kind of wolf-hearted thing.
Mo Nishang looked at Qiaoxi glaring at Zhao Changle, and the short-term psychology in her heart came out, don't look at her and Zhao Changle arguing all day long, but it is impossible for her to let Zhao Changle bully her, and then she also glared at Qiaoxi viciously, her eyes were full of warnings.
Everyone looked at the calculations between Mo Nishang and the three of them, and they were also happy, Jia Lin was even more happy, looking at the coincidental joy and ugliness, and now it is estimated that they are also hated by Mo Nishang and the others.
Seeing Mo Nishang glaring at herself, Qiaoxi felt aggrieved, she obviously didn't do anything wrong, why did they all target themselves so much, thinking, her face showed a desolate look, which made people feel pity, but in the eyes of everyone, it became pretentious.
But this time, everyone looked at Qiaoxi like this, and they didn't say anything with a tacit understanding, after all, it would be no good for any of them to continue the dispute and let those superiors see it.
Qiaoxi seems to be sad about everyone's targeting.
The hall was very silent, which made people's nerves tense, and the so-called silence was better than sound at this time.
However, the thoughts that are secretly flowing in your hearts are estimated to be impossible to calculate even with modern instruments.
Because the human brain is the most complex thing in the world, there is no one. People's thoughts are ever-changing.
This quiet did not last long.
