Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Feast (Part II)
'The crane sings in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky. Fish lie in Nagisa, or potential abyss. The garden of Lebi has sandalwood trees, and there is a dimension under it. This lyrical poem in the Book of Poetry is really appropriate to use to allude to the various wonders of the Lingbei Royal Back Garden.
Although Lingbei was originally a nomadic people who were unrestrained and rough by nature, they were extremely exquisite and beautiful in the construction and design of the palace gardens. It not only has the essence of the beauty of the garden in the south of the Yangtze River, but also has the magnificent and majestic momentum of Lingbei. Among them, the rockery cave is unique, a grass and a tree have a unique charm, and there are more rare birds and beasts hidden in it, it is really a person swimming in the garden, such as walking in the painting. If such a treasure is not used well, is it not a violent thing? Therefore, this royal feast was held in this back garden.
It is a royal banquet invitation, and you can take the opportunity to get married, the invitees are naturally happy and enthusiastic, and the park is already crowded with guests before Shenshi. I saw that the young men present were all dressed in fine clothes and handsome, and the beauties and daughters were all beautiful and beautiful like flowers, and they were either in groups of two or three or five in groups and whispered together, gossiping while secretly looking at their favorite objects.
"Sister Chen, who is that white-clothed boy standing by the pool?" A goose-egg-shaped, delicate and lovely girl couldn't help but blush when she looked at Li Yan, and she was extremely shy and asked her companion urgently.
"Oh, the little county lord's vision is really high!" A gorgeously dressed woman with a charming face followed her gaze and grinned heartily, "No wonder I didn't even look at those flattering sons and buddies before, what should I be doing, it turned out that I fell in love with the first beautiful man in Dayu Country in one phase!" ”
The other girls in the garden heard the hearty laughter of the woman surnamed Chen, and they were also attracted to join them in the discussion, "I have long heard that the prince of King Jin is stunning and captivating, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation, such a fairy-like character is really rare in the world." ”
"Yes, I've never seen a man as beautiful as him when I'm so old," a beautiful woman in red looked at Li Yan's silhouette with an obsessive expression, "It's a pity that he will return to Dayu after the celebration, how nice it would be if he could stay in Lingbei forever......"
"That's not easy?!" The woman surnamed Chen smiled treacherously, "It depends on the ability of a few of you!" Don't talk about it here, don't drool over other people's beautiful lights! Who used to make a beauty trick and bewitched him so much that he couldn't think about it, wouldn't it be done? If he becomes the son-in-law of any of your families, he will be able to stay as a matter of course! ”
All the women present had a good impression of Li Yan, and when they heard her say this, they couldn't help but blush with shame, and twisted and laughed. There was only one plump and jeweled girl, who glanced at Li Yan coldly, pouted and said, "Isn't it just the prince of King Jin?" Look how excited you people are! Except that his face is better-looking, he doesn't see anything remarkable! I have a lot of good men in Lingbei, but I can't compare to him!? ”
"Yes, yes, the sister of the Zhao family is reasonable, there are so many good men in my Lingbei," the woman surnamed Chen grinned and pulled her to her side, "Especially King Xiao of the Southern Courtyard, right?" ”
When the women heard the meaning of her words, they pursed their lips and chuckled. It turned out that the girl who disdained Li Yan was named Zhao Ying, sixteen years old, and her father was a high-ranking Zhongshu Ling in the dynasty, and the three generations of the family were all important ministers of the court, and the family background was prominent. Since I saw Xiao Suchen riding a horse on the street two months ago, I secretly promised that Xiao Suchen would be full of thoughts from then on. Her father Zhao Chen saw her lovesickness, and admired Xiao Suchen's noble and talented status, and he wanted to be an adult. I went to the Southern Courtyard many times to propose marriage, but I didn't expect Xiao Suchen to laugh and excuse himself at first, and then simply avoided it. This marriage can only be put on hold. However, how could Zhao Ying give up easily, as long as it was about Xiao Suchen, she would pay attention to the abnormality; Wherever Xiao Suchen appears, she can always be found at the same time; This time she set up a banquet in the palace, and she tried her best to dress up carefully, hoping that Xiao Suchen would fall in love with her at first sight.
Although the woman surnamed Chen was just joking kindly, in Zhao Ying's opinion, she was greatly insulted. She is the best in the family since she was a child, and her father and brother have held her in the palm of her hand to take care of her, so as to develop a rude and willful problem. No matter what the occasion, her brows were furrowed, and her silver teeth were about to be angry, but she didn't want someone next to her to be more angry than her, and she was close to roaring.
"What!? Why hasn't she arrived yet! Won't you go to Qiluo Villa to see what's going on!? ”
The hero who dares to shout so recklessly and arrogantly in the palace and no one dares to stop him, I believe that needless to say, he can guess where it is sacred - it is the prince Yelu Yimo who is not afraid of everyone in the Lingbei Palace, and even the ghosts and gods have to retreat!
I saw him put his hands on his waist, and pointed at the nose of a palace man menacingly and scolded, "Stupid minion! Early in the morning, I asked you to wait at the gate of the palace to wait for her to enter the palace, and after noon, you saw that no one had arrived, and you didn't know to report it? Now it's almost unitary time, what are you going to do?! ”
Seeing that the time for the opening of the banquet was approaching, but he had not yet seen An Youran's figure, how could Yelu Yimo not be in a hurry? Today's banquet has a deep meaning, if An Youran can't go to the appointment...... He really has the heart to kill and set fires!
Poor palace man, how can he endure the thunderous wrath of Yelu Yimo? He was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and he knelt on the ground trembling and begged for mercy, "Master...... The minion saw that it was still early in the sky and thought that it was ...... I thought that Miss Ling would appear soon, so I didn't report it, and I didn't want to ......"
"What do you think? Do you know Xuanmen divination? The palace man's explanation not only did not make Yelu Yimo relieved, but made him even more angry, and kicked the palace man on the shoulder, "Why don't you calculate a hexagram for yourself!" So that your family can prepare a straw mat oxcart to collect the body for you! ”
The guests were stunned by this sudden change, and the palace people were also cowering and hiding aside and did not dare to step forward for fear of being implicated, and the most innocent of them was Zhao Gonggong, who wanted to cry without tears, from the moment when the emperor appointed him to be the person in charge of the banquet, from the courtyard layout, the selection of ingredients, to the process organization, escort and defense, he was all personally and dedicated, in order to make the palace feast perfect, and praised. I didn't want to come to the critical moment at the beginning, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who was wise and martial, actually gave him such a play! Although he was so anxious that he was in a hurry, but thinking about clashing head-on with the prince who seemed to be possessed by Yama, Zhao Gonggong still chose to save his life first!
I saw that Yelu Yimo scolded more and more fiercely, and beat more and more fiercely, and in addition to his shouting and scolding and the miserable cries of the palace people, it was quiet and terrible. Just when the situation was about to get out of control, a pleasant female voice like a yellow bird came from afar, "Flower boy!" Didn't the decree in the palace say that everyone should eat? Why did it become your personal wrestling show? ”
