Chapter 12: The Imperial Garden

A few days later, Father-in-law Ruan came here with two little eunuchs and said: "The queen has a decree - tonight is the fifteenth day of August, the day of homesickness on the full moon, I am afraid that Jieyu will be homesick and lonely, so I will hold a banquet in the imperial garden in the evening, and everyone will prepare for the banquet before the festival." After saying that, he bowed slightly and left.

The women were very happy, and they had the opportunity to see the emperor again, and they could also perform, so that they could dress up beautifully to attract the emperor's attention. Leng Yue smiled faintly, knowing that the opportunity had come.

Bai Yuhe was a little nervous, twisted the silk handkerchief and asked, "What clothes should I wear?" What kind of hairstyle to comb? I...... Ah...... Say it quickly! ”

Leng Yue saw that she was nervous, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, my good master, I'll comb your hair, the injury on your head is not yet good, just wear a step shake, ah, let's try on clothes first, so as not to mess up your hair for a while." ”

Bai Yuhe turned out a lot of clothes in one go, Leng Yue was dazzled, and hurriedly said: "Don't take it, your complexion is very good now, just use Bai Shayi." I looked at the sky, and it will be sunny tonight, when you and the moon will shine, and people will think that Chang'e has descended to earth. ”

Bai Yuhe was extremely happy to be coaxed, and completely obeyed Leng Yue's arrangement. Wearing a pale pink tight-waisted long skirt inside, covered with a light white gauze coat, it looks ethereal. The hair is only combed in a simple bun, and a pearl is inserted, the whole person is elegant and fresh, but it is enchanting.

Bai Yuhe asked a little unconfidently: "Is this really okay?" The makeup is too light. ”

Leng Yue checked it carefully and said with a smile: "No problem, today is August 15th, it is a feast, the queen and the concubines must be dressed brightly, if any Shuyuan accidentally wears clothes of the same color as them, won't they be hated?" You're dressed like this, and you're definitely the center of attention. But you have to remember that if the emperor names you to let you sleep, you have to shirk it, saying that your injuries have not healed and you are afraid of sweeping away Longxing. ”

Bai Yuhe almost screamed, "What? Aren't we waiting for this day with all our might? Why refuse? ”

Leng Yue smiled faintly and said: "Man, the more you can't get it, the better, besides, you have the support of the left minister, and you are not afraid of offending the emperor." If you want to be favored for a short time and then forgotten, you can go, if you want to be favored for a long time, you have to listen to me. Qianyi Baishun can't get a man's heart, only let him remember you, think about you all the time, and think about you unforgettable to give him some sweetness. In this way, the man is not the finger twister in your hand? ”

After listening to Leng Yue's explanation, Bai Yuhe relaxed slightly, and suddenly thought of performing a show, so he took out the guqin and played with it. Leng Yue stopped: "Your outfit today is not suitable for playing the piano, it is the night, sitting in the pile of white flowers, looking at the infiltrating people, you can dance, it is best to dance with ribbons, and the color of the ribbons should be pink." ”

Bai Yuhe nodded, suddenly hugged Leng Yue tightly and trembled, Leng Yue smiled: "Look at you, it's a shame, I want to be a concubine every day, but you are scared like this when the opportunity comes." ”

Bai Yuhe's face turned red and said, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to grasp this opportunity." ”

Leng Yue thought for a while and said: "When you go to the banquet, you must be quiet and calm, so that those concubines think that you have no intention of competing for favor, and it is best to show your longing to the moon, so that those concubines think that you are missing your lover from afar." ”

"Huh? What if the emperor is also suspicious? Bai Yuhe asked in surprise.

Leng Yue smiled and said, "You can say that you miss your parents, so it seems that you are a filial daughter." ”

Bai Yuhe is usually very shrewd, but at the moment she is a little silly and cute. Leng Yue was also secretly proud, why didn't she think about taking the director exam back then?

There are not too many lights in the Imperial Garden today, because the huge moon is like a bright lamp, illuminating the Imperial Garden very brightly, but there is a hint of hazy meaning. The emperor sat in the middle, beside him was a red queen, and a little farther away were two favorite concubines, one was wearing a hundred flowers and a beautiful dress, and the other was also wearing a red dress, but it was slightly inferior to the queen's color. Leng Yue knew in her heart, although she didn't know what the names of these two concubines were, she already knew that the concubine in red was the most favored, because only she dared to fight with the queen, and she did not shy away from "colliding" with the queen. In the noble crowd, it was found that Wang Guiren was sitting in the chief, dressed in emerald green clothes, wearing a pink peony on his head, looking charming and moving. When she saw Bai Yuhe, she raised her chin defiantly, her eyes full of contempt.
