Chapter 197
"Miss, you're so good-looking." Qiu'er couldn't help but admire while holding her head over the Flower Shadow Phantom.
Qiu'er combed a flying bun to the flower shadow charm today, and the bun was decorated with a lotus pattern gold comb and a gold inlaid jade step, and the tassels drooped, reflecting her slightly powdered face, and her bright eyes were depicted and outlined by the thin carbon stone, and the tail of the eyes was charming and gorgeous. Qiu'er also deliberately drew a plum blossom at the center of the eyebrows of the flower shadow, and the green silk between the temples hung down, revealing a faint charm in the grace and luxury.
Hearing this, Hua Yingmei smiled, put her hand under the bronze mirror in front of her, revealing her white wrist like a lotus root, and the jade bracelet on her wrist touched the pear blossom wood table, making a crisp and pleasant sound. She looked at the face reflected in the bronze mirror, but she was thinking about Qian Aolan's intentions, although the other party had decided to send her to Ye Xiguo, but this did not mean that he could tell the world in a grand manner, as the emperor of Hengnan Kingdom, he had to consider the faces of Chao Feng Kingdom and Chaoyang Kingdom, and Qian Aolin had to come up with a way that was acceptable to the three kingdoms.
And this method is not difficult to think, but there is a little flower shadow charm is very puzzled, Ye Xiguo proposed to kiss her and still knows the reason, but why does Chao Fengguo and Chaoyang Kingdom have to be her? What exactly is in them that they need? Although Hua Junyang is a reason, he is only one of the reasons that is so small that it is almost negligible.
"Miss, it's alright." Qiu'er's words interrupted Hua Yingmei's thoughts, she raised her head, glanced at the figure in the mirror, stood up nonchalantly, and stroked the somewhat wrinkled skirt. Qiu'er took out her cloak and draped it over Flower Shadow Charm's body, tying a bow around her neck.
With a creak, Qiu'er pushed open the door, and the autumn cicada standing outside the door lifted the curtains, the sun was slightly warm in the cold air, but at this time it was sunset, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on the ground, and the magnificent colors shrouded everything, sprinkled on the face of the flower shadow, she squinted slightly, retaining the light that ingested her eyes.
The banquet was set up in the main hall of Zhengyang Palace, and the palace ladies held lanterns in their hands, bowed their heads and walked on the bluestone paved road, guiding the way for the ministers and ladies who entered the palace to participate in the banquet.
Instead of daylight, lanterns illuminate the darkness, and the main road leading to the main hall of Zhengyang Palace is covered with a red carpet, and colorful lanterns are hung on the railings wrapped in colorful flags on both sides, which brightly illuminates the entire Zhengyang Palace.
In the main hall of Zhengyang Palace, the wick burning in the glass lamp exudes a faint fragrance, the dragon chair is placed in the highest position of the main hall, and the four gorgeous seats with pear wood hollow carving are placed under the dragon chair. On the left side of the aisle are the seats of the princes, followed by the seats of the envoys of various countries, and then the seats of the ministers. Because Ouyang Lingyue was sent by Qian Aolan, Hua Junyang was the first minister.
On the right side of the aisle, the seat of the Flower Shadow is the first, and the lady is secondary, and they sit in order according to their rank.
In the main hall, the ministers' families gathered together to talk about family life, and the topic was inseparable from the three words of flower shadow and ghost. They had always thought that Flower Shadow would definitely marry a certain prince, but they didn't expect that the Three Kingdoms would ask her to marry at the same time. Today's banquet will probably decide the fate of the flower shadow ghost.
"Princess Chang'an said." The eunuch outside the main hall of Zhengyang Palace announced the moment he saw the figure of the flower shadow. The main hall fell silent suddenly, and turned to look at the door.
The flower shadow ghost lowered her hand, and Qiu'er helped her down the sedan chair, and the tassel swaying from the gold-inlaid jade step shook gently, making a crisp and pleasant jingle sound.
The Su embroidered brocade moon shoes made by the Shanggong Bureau stepped on the carpet, the corners of the flower shadow smiled at the corners of the mouth, looking at the sparkling pupils of the main hall of Zhengyang Palace, the wind blew the broken hair between her temples, and blew the lanterns hanging on the railing.
The flower shadow is stepping on the red carpet, the corners of the skirt hang on the ground, every step is like walking on the road paved with delicate flowers.
The eunuch's voice was sharp and loud, starting from the moment the flower shadow stepped on the red carpet, and the sound was cascading, crossing the night.
On both sides of the carpet, the eunuchs and palace maids knelt and bowed.
The flower shadow did not squint and walked straight to the main hall, and the eunuch and palace maid got up after she left, her eyes lingering on her back, unwilling to withdraw her gaze.
"Wechen (courtiers, courtiers) knock to see the princess." The Flower Shadow Phantom stepped into the main hall, and the ministers and their families bowed respectfully.
Flower Shadow Charm raised her hand slightly, the royal wind was undoubtedly displayed in her gestures, a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and her voice was raised: "No courtesy." ”
"Princess Xie."
"Princess, please take a seat." The palace maid who was waiting for the banquet walked to the side of the Flower Shadow Charm, bowed down, and respectfully invited the Flower Shadow Charm to her seat.
Hua Yingmei sat down with the corner of her skirt, Qiu'er and Xiaoxiao stood behind her, looking around, their eyes passing over the vacant seats, and finally staying on the prince's seat, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
The Seven Princes are good at everything, but they are not the one that the master likes.
The arrival of the Flower Shadow made everyone sit down, no longer gathering together in twos and threes, the Flower Shadow Ghost picked up the wine glass, drank to herself, and passed by the empty seat opposite.
"The Seventh Prince has arrived." The sound of the eunuch's communication resounded through the hall again, and everyone bowed in unison to greet each other, but the flower shadow did not even raise their heads.
Qian Yuyang let everyone get up, and he didn't cast a single glance at the woman who was dressed up and showed off, his heart was full of women who sat in a high position and only cared about drinking, seeing her so indifferent, Qian Yuyang remembered her categorical refusal in the imperial garden just now, and her heart was once again like being held by someone, she would rather marry the Three Kingdoms than marry herself, she really hated him like this.
The figure that could not be ignored in the afterglow reflected in the pupils, and the slightly drooping eyes of the flower shadow and the long eyelashes like butterfly wings isolated the person who was as tall as jade. Qian Yuyang is just a friend to her, and for his wrong love, Hua Yingmei can only say sorry, nothing else.
Qian Yuyang glanced at Hua Ying Phantom heavily, and finally let go of the hand clenched under his sleeve, walked over to her and sat down. As soon as he sat down, the fifth prince and the sixth prince came together, with two similar faces, one eyebrow and eye engraved with coldness, and the other with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, walked to Qian Yuyang and sat down.
Now that the second prince and the fourth prince are no longer there, the prince is left with only the three of them.
"The emperor has arrived."
Qian Ao Scales stepped into the hall in a bright yellow dragon robe, Zhao Changyue, Hua Roulan, and Concubine Rou followed behind Qian Ao Scale, and the one who followed Qian Ao Scale was a jade concubine who was in the position of a concubine, and the corners of Zhao Changyue's mouth were slightly raised, making people unable to see the mood at this time. Although Hua Roulan pretended to be generous, she could still see her jealousy of the jade concubine. Concubine Rou is still the same as before, her face is cold and arrogant.
Qian Aolu walked up to the high platform, and waited until the jade concubine sat down, then let go of the hand holding her, walked to the dragon chair, turned around and waved his sleeves, faced the civil and military officials, and said loudly: "Zhongqing is flat." ”
"Your Majesty." Everyone thanked him and got up, and Hua Yingmei sat down, his eyes swept over the four concubines, and he turned around on Zhao Changyue and Hua Roulan's bodies, and then lowered his eyes, looking at the wine in the wine glass, and his jade fingers clasped the lifelike carving on the gold bottle wine glass.
Yu Concubine's child, I'm afraid it won't be good to be born!
Qianao is in the prime of life, and most of the harem concubines are in the flowering season, how can it be that there are only so many princes now, counting the second prince, the fourth prince, the eldest princess, and the youngest princess, but it is only seven, and except for the little princess born to Concubine Liang who was attached to Zhao Changyue at the beginning, the other princes and princesses are all adults, so in the interval between the birth of the eldest princess and the little princess, how many heirs were born but eventually died?
I'm afraid there are not dozens, but there are more than a dozen, Zhao Changyue's favor is not as good as before, but it is still very easy to let a person slip unknowingly.
Qian Ao's eyebrows and eyes smiled, his eyes crossed the flower shadow, looked at the ministers and family members in the palace, and finally fell behind the envoys of the Three Kingdoms who walked in a few steps behind him.
"The envoys of the Three Kingdoms don't have to be polite." He smiled and spoke, his sharp tiger eyes covered with layers of mist, and the scorching light ingested it, but it was swallowed by the mist, leaving only black eyes and chaos.
Ling Qiao'er followed behind Ling Izuyun, glared at the Flower Shadow Charm fiercely, remembered Ling Izuyun's warning to her when he came, and bit her cheek angrily, seeing that the Flower Shadow Charm looked at her, she secretly raised her fist and waved at her, warning her not to beat her brother's idea, and then sat down with Ling Izuyun.
Flower Shadow Charm laughed, the little girl-like demonstration was ridiculous, but she was a little envious of her, envious of her simplicity, she was protected in the ivory tower since she was a child, so that she could not see the ugly side of the world, I hope she can be protected for a lifetime, if not......
She withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at her.
Jing Rong and Bai Ran sat down in turn, and when a few people sat down, Gonggong Li started to speak, the music started, and the dancing girl entered from the side hall with a graceful posture, smiling and smiling, all charming.
The atmosphere of the hall was heated to the extreme, the ministers pushed their glasses to drink, the lady smiled, Jing Rong held the wine glass in his hand, and his restrained and wise eyes stared at the dancing queen, as if he was attracted by the dancing posture of the dancing queen.
Ling Izuyun looked at the flower shadow ghost, the woman's red lips were slightly raised, and the understatement gesture attracted all the eyes, she should know what this banquet represented, ordinary women would be panicked, overwhelmed, or anxious in their hearts, but in her, he couldn't see any emotion, and it seemed that everything had nothing to do with her.
Sensing Ling Izuyun's gaze, Hua Ying raised his glass and saluted him in the air.
Ling Izuyun was slightly stunned, and after a short period of distraction, he picked up the wine glass in his hand and saluted back, unsurprisingly receiving Ling Qiao'er's unkind gaze, as well as the blank look from all sides.
After the dance, the music stopped, Qian Aolu raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Welcome the envoys of the Three Kingdoms to visit Hengnan." ”
Ling Izuyun and the others raised their glasses to thank their love, and Qian Aoyan drank the wine in the cup, his eyes swept over the people present, and slowly spoke.
