Chapter 18: Qiongguang Banquet (2)

Emperor Rong's concubine walked to the front of the Dream Garden and came to Li Yuzhi's mother and daughter. Li Shi was slightly blessed and said a word of good fortune. Emperor Rong's concubine responded with a smile, but her eyes stopped at Lu Yinhua, she lightly opened her lips, "Lu family Yinhua, a god concubine, really born with a good appearance." ”

"The imperial concubine is falsely praised, the little girl is just an ordinary mediocre appearance, how can she be compared with the flower and moon appearance of the mother." Li Yuzhi replied modestly, at this moment, she couldn't wait to hide Lu Yinhua, for fear that she would accidentally get the eyes of the imperial concubine and ask the Holy Lord to marry the eighth prince, which would really make her more than ten years of hard work in vain.

"Mrs. Lu is really good at talking." Emperor Rong's concubine smiled lightly and asked the palace maid behind her, "The queen mother is resting in the side hall?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, exactly."

Emperor Rong's concubine gathered the broken hair in her ears, and handed the stove in her hand to the maid beside her, "You don't have to be restrained, the palace will go to the queen mother to say goodbye first." Seeing that everyone was about to salute again, Emperor Rong's concubine waved her hand gently, "There is no need to salute." With that, he took the handmaid's hand and walked towards the side hall.

This imperial concubine was born extremely beautiful, not a pure delicate beauty in the traditional sense, with a trace of heroism between her eyebrows, she obviously has a prince, but her figure is no different from that of a girl. Although her steps are slow, she is steady with every step, and she looks more energetic. Maybe such a different woman would raise such a gentle and polite son. The slave looked at the figure of Emperor Rong's concubine in a daze, a little distracted.

"Sister?" Lu Nianyu called lightly.

Nu'er came back to her senses and looked at Lu Nianyu, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Nianyu shook his head, "It's nothing." She took a piece of plum blossom cake and handed it to the slave, "I think it tastes good just now, the fourth sister can taste it." ”

Nu'er looked at Lu Nianyu suspiciously, but he still took it, put it to his mouth and took a small bite, sweet but not greasy, and the taste was really good. Nu'er nodded, "It's really good, it seems that the third sister is very good at eating." The slave caught a glimpse of the curtain and was provoked again, and there was a purple hat and golden-topped sedan chair outside, and the identity of the person who came must not be low. Nu'er put down the plum blossom cake and smiled apologetically at Lu Nianyu, "Nu'er suddenly remembered that she hadn't taken the flower drum she promised to give Princess Furou, so she had to take the first step." The third sister uses slowly. ”

"Well, go ahead." Lu Nianyu nodded.

Nu'er walked towards the door unhurriedly, and behind her, Fang Gu hurriedly ran forward and asked in a low voice in Nu'er's ear, "Where are you going, girl?" It's better not to run around at the Qiongguang banquet. ”

Nu'er didn't stop, the palace maid guarding the door adjusted the curtain for her, and Nu'er said to her aunt while walking, "A few days ago, I promised to give Princess Furou a flower drum, but I was in too much hurry to go out and forgot to take it." Anyway, the hour is still there, I'll go back quickly, and I won't delay. ”

Fang Gu was helpless, "The slave will accompany you back." ”

Nu'er nodded, and hurried back to Zhuyun Tower with Aunt Fang. The Dream Garden is not far from Zhuyun Tower, to be precise, it is closer to the Dream Garden than Shoukang Palace. So it didn't take much time for the slave to come back this time.

On the way back to the Dream Garden, she saw the sedan chair with a purple hat and gold top stop from a distance, and out of it came a woman wearing a dark palace dress and holding a white cat in her arms. That person is the new favorite recently, Yun Concubine.

Nu'er quickened her pace, rushed to two meters behind Yun Concubine, and waited quietly, waiting to enter the garden.

Suddenly, the white cat who was asleep in Yun Concubine's arms opened her eyes. It screamed and jumped out of Yun Concubine's embrace. Yun Concubine said angrily, "Xuetuan, come back!" ”

The white cat first circled around the ground blankly, and then slowly walked to the slave's feet and stopped. The white cat rubbed against her feet, and the slave seemed to be calm, she squatted down, picked the cat up, and reached out to touch its head.

Yun Concubine walked over, looked at the white cat in Nu'er's arms with a smile, and said to Nu'er, "It seems that Xue Tuan likes this young lady very much." ”

The slave looked down and smiled, and the hand hidden under the cat silently wrapped a silk thread around its paw. She smiled sweetly, as if she liked cats very much, "Maybe it's fate." Courtiers have been fond of cats since childhood. ”

No, slaves don't like cats. Once upon a time, the Lee family also had a cat, a black cat. She had starved the cat for three days and then threw it into a sack containing the erring maid. Later, the maid did not die, but was scratched by the black cat and disfigured, and the maid committed suicide.

That maid is her mother's former dowry maid, Li Yuzhi used the most clumsy means to frame her in order to cut off her mother's wings, and then used the most cruel means to get rid of her. The slave always remembered the maid when she died. So, she never liked cats.

Later, she saw in the book that cats liked scents, so she went to learn how to make sachets to attract the black cat to a remote place and kill it. Today, the white cat is close to her, not because of fate, but because of the sachet on her body.

Nu'er was stretching out her hand to return the snow ball to Yun Concubine, her hand was slightly hard, the snow ball was in pain, screamed, searched the ground and jumped down, and ran quickly.

"Snow Ball!" Concubine Yun exclaimed, and immediately scolded the palace maids behind her, "What are you still doing in a daze!" Why don't you go and get the snow ball back to Hongu! ”

"Ahh

At the same time, the slave screamed. Yun Concubine looked at the slave at this time, her wide sleeves and the big coat on her body were cut by the cat with a long cut.

"What's going on?" A deep voice sounded behind Yun Concubine, and the slave looked up, and a bright yellow figure came into view.

Concubine Yun immediately knelt down, "Concubine see Your Majesty!" When the slave heard this, he knelt down.

"The snow was frightened and tore the young lady's clothes." Yun Concubine's voice became lower and lower, she knew that today's banquet was important, and she should not bring the snow ball willfully. She was wrong.

Emperor Yuan An looked down at the two kneeling on the ground, and did not get angry, but asked calmly, "Which young lady are you?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the courtier's daughter is General Lu's fourth daughter, Wei Nu'er." The slave buried her head low, and for some reason she felt a little dizzy, and she reached out and pinched herself hard to cheer herself up.

"It turned out to be the daughter of General Lu." Emperor Yuan'an's tone became more gentle, and he turned his head to look at Concubine Yun, "Concubine Ai will take Miss Lu down first to change her clothes." ”

The slave got up slowly, and a cold wind hit, and she let go of the hand covering the crack. Suddenly, many white catkins-like things flew out of the slave's sleeves. As the wind blew up, it sprinkled the Dream Garden.

"This is ......" Yun Concubine stretched out her hand to hold the white floc that flew in front of her, "Reed flower?!" ”

"Who in the Internal Affairs Office is so bold that the cotton in Miss Lu's clothes is replaced with reeds! It's just abominable! Concubine Yun looked at Emperor Yuan An, "This kind of thing must not be tolerated, please Your Majesty investigate it thoroughly." ”

Yun Concubine's voice led everyone in the garden out. The slave only felt that his head hurt more and more. There was chaos in my mind, and the voices and eyes around me became illusory. She barely looked up, and a familiar face appeared in front of her.

She opened her mouth and called softly, "Daddy......"

Then, his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
