Chapter 17: Qiongguang Banquet (1)

Today is the Qiongguang feast, about the hour, the ladies of the decree will take the purple top incense car one after another to reach the Yonghe Gate. The palace maids got up an hour earlier than usual to prepare breakfast. The rooster first crowed, and the queen mother was also surrounded by the palace maids early in the morning to sit in the dream garden to entertain the women and relatives.

Li Yuzhi even combed the most popular long cloud bun at the moment, and the forehead was dotted with flying clouds and vermilion flowers. Wearing a long skirt of purple flowers around the clouds, draped in daisy color and lotus flowers and long shawls of cloud brocade. She has a gentle and dignified smile on her face, her whole person is radiant, and her radiant appearance makes people can't take their eyes off it, and as soon as she appears, she is the focus of everyone's praise and praise.

"Mrs. Lu is really getting younger and younger, look at the nobility of this body, it is not something that ordinary people can have!" A noblewoman said with a smile.

"If you want me to say that Madame, you are blessed and favored by God, and such a good life is something that concubines can't envy!"

Li Yuzhi maintained a proper smile, neither showing too much smile because of everyone's praise, nor showing alienation and indifference, I don't know how much it took to cultivate so perfectly with that just right smile.

"Speaking of this profound blessing, it is all the saint and the queen mother's mercy, and no matter how much honor and favor there is, it is given by heaven. We will be grateful to Dade and repay the favor of heaven. Li Yuzhi said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Madame has a point, this is the real wisdom and reason." The crowd chimed in.

This is probably the gap between those people and Li Yuzhi. Li Danchen stood in the distance, thinking silently in his heart. Ordinary people, who only pay attention to the present, said a lot of good things in front of Li Yuzhi. In fact, how many real benefits will be brought by such sycophancy. And Li Yuzhi's cleverness lies in not slapping the horse too much and lowering his status, but saying the right words at the right time, which seems simple, but in fact it is the most difficult.

Li Danchen knows very well in her heart that no matter how good Lu Yuebai is to her now, and how good her aunt is to her, she always understands her identity and her value. So she never shows any ambitions, and the role she plays is that of an obedient and obedient puppet. Of course, that's just for now. She was too young and had so much to learn.

"Yikes! Isn't that Miss Lu? An exclamation instantly silenced the surroundings, and everyone turned their eyes to the entrance of the Dream Garden.

What kind of woman is that, obviously not yet in her prime, but she is already like a fairy in hiring. She slowly walked into the Garden of Dreams, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows showing tenderness, and the heavy clothes in winter were still as light as butterflies on her. Lu Yinhua walked with small steps, the long peach koji fell to the ground, swaying with her steps, the silver ring Peiyu around her waist made a subtle sound, she lowered her head and smiled lightly, as if everything in the world had been eclipsed.

Such a look, only women should be amazed, let alone men in the world. Li Yuzhi was very satisfied with everyone's amazement, she stood in place with a smile, watching her proudest daughter slowly walk towards her.

"Yinhua has seen her mother, ladies and gentlemen." Lu Yinhua was slightly blessed, her voice was like a yellow bird, eloquent.

Li Yuzhi nodded, and introduced Lu Yinhua, "Yinhua, this is the wife of Lord Qing of Dali Temple, this is the wife of Lord Yushi Zhou of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this ......"

Lu Yinhua greeted them one by one, no one noticed Lu Yuebai who came with her at this time, and no one even remembered that Mrs. Lu had two daughters, and Miss Lu, who they were amazed by, also had a sister. Lu Yuebai retreated gloomily, and Li Danchen stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, "Yuebai, you can be regarded as here, I have been waiting here for a long time." Li Danchen pointed in the opposite direction to where Lu Yinhua was, and said, "I saw the green pastry over there just now, your favorite, let's go over and have a look." ”

Lu Yuebai knew that Li Danchen was relieving her embarrassment, and a burst of warmth rose in her heart, and she responded with a smile, "Okay." ”

When Lu Yinhua appeared, everyone was overshadowed. Nu'er was no exception, she sat quietly in a corner, occasionally sipping hot tea, and her bright eyes saw everything around her. Now almost all of the people present are female dependents, although the queen mother arrived early, she has been sitting in the side hall inside to rest, and the main hall of the Dream Garden is almost standing a kind of well-dressed ladies and ladies, full of low laughter voices.

"Isn't it boring for the fourth sister to sit here?" Lu Nianyu moved from the seat next to him and sat down next to the slave.

Lu Nianyu has never talked much, it is not easy for her to take the initiative to talk, the slave smiled at her, and lowered her head and said, "I don't know these people, and it's not bad to sit here and eat quietly." ”

Lu Nianyu smiled, she took a piece of pastry and took a bite gently, "It's really delicious." ”

"The pastries in the palace are better than the precious materials, and the processes are very exquisite." The slave looked at Lu Nianyu, "Expensive is expensive, but it is not as delicate as Aunt Jiang's." ”

"If my aunt knew that the fourth sister praised her craftsmanship so much, she would be very happy." The Jiang family is a side room, the rules of Great Xia, the concubine children can only call their mother-in-law as their mother, so Lu Nianyu called his biological mother Jiang as his aunt.

"Speaking of which, the third sister seems to be only a year and a half older than Nu'er, and she will be in the age of Ji Lu in more than a year." The slave seemed to mention it unintentionally.

"yes." Lu Nianyu straightened his sleeves, "I don't know what kind of situation will be after the meeting." ”

Someone came in again, and the palace people lifted the curtain, and some cold wind leaked in outside the door. The slave couldn't help but shudder, Lu Nianyu noticed it and asked, "What's wrong?" But cold? ”

"Somehow, wearing the winter clothes made by my mother today, it seems to be colder than ever. Maybe it's cold again this day. The slave smiled in response, reaching out and tugging at the placket of his clothes.

At this time, a high-pitched voice came from outside: Emperor Rong's concubine arrived-

Everyone stopped talking one after another, got up and saluted, "See the imperial concubine!" ”

This Ronghuang concubine, the slave knows. She is the biological mother of the eighth son of the emperor Dongli Yuyang, since the time of entering the palace, she has been favored by the saints, after giving birth to the eighth son of the emperor, how many newcomers have been in the harem over the years, only she is the only one who is favored and favored.

Originally, the prince's most advantageous competitor should be the eighth prince, but the eighth prince has loved poetry, books, etiquette and music since he was a child, and he is a young man, but he has no intention of fighting for the throne. Rao is imperial concubine has made many moves, but the prince has no intention, and he can't after all.

As for why the slaves know so much about this?

It's all because of that snowy day, that plum bone umbrella, and that young man in Tsing Yi......
