Chapter 220: Closing the Net for 2000 Diamonds
The feast in the palace is set in the evening.
At the end of the day, the princes and nobles who received the invitation had already arrived at the palace one after another.
Liang Yan used the recipes she copied from ancient books to repeatedly mix gouache and lipstick that can make people's faces look pale and lifeless.
The bun was combed gorgeous and delicate by Bai Wei, embellished with golden hairpins and hairpins, and her face turned pale.
In the diamond glasses, she looks like a sick beauty, and she deliberately pounces on her cheeks with bright red rouge, which makes people feel bright red at a glance.
Bai Wei nodded again and again: "Well, in this way, people will feel that the princess is not lightly ill at a glance, but you don't want others to see your illness, so you deliberately cover it up!" ”
Liang Yan nodded, smiled from the person in the mirror, and the corners of her mouth were a little helpless and helpless.
"Okay?" Li Xuanyi walked over from behind the screen outside, and was stunned when he saw her, "If you don't know, I don't know how worried I should be at this time!" ”
Liang Yan nodded and got up, "I've cleaned it up." ”
Li Xuanyi personally supported her and wrapped her in a thick fox fur cloak, and the fiery fox fur made her face as white as snow on the branches.
She half-snuggled into his arms, cautiously, slowly walking towards the carriage parked outside the second gate.
Princess Changle put her hand in her hand, holding a small stove in her hand, and saw a pair of figures snuggled together from a distance, and when she walked slowly, her heart was pinched together.
The air I breathed seemed to be getting cold and thin.
She raised a hand and pressed it to her heart, if she didn't really love someone deeply, she wouldn't understand the heart-rending pain when she saw her loved one and carefully care for others.
Princess Changle turned her back on her face, not wanting people to see the embarrassed look on her face.
Today she came to see Liang Yan's tragic situation! She just had to endure it a little longer, and wait a little longer...... Her brother will be completely hers! Liang Yan could no longer compete with her.
When Li Xuanyi helped Liang Yan slowly approach, Princess Changle saw Liang Yan's pale face, and the corners of her mouth finally curled up easily.
She stepped forward and saw the rejection on Li Xuanyi's face, so she had to stop and didn't get too close, "Doctor Liang, what's wrong?" A few days ago, I heard that Dr. Liang was sick, and I said that they had miscommunicated! Dr. Liang is a miracle doctor, how can he fall ill? ”
Liang Yan opened her mouth to speak, but did not spit out the words, but coughed again and again, and a sickly flush appeared on her pale face that was coughing, and then she stopped panting.
Li Xuanyi tightened the hand on her shoulder, looked at Princess Changle unhappily and said, "The doctor is not an immortal, how can there be a reason not to get sick?" Why don't you go to the palace soon? delayed the time, but it seems that King Jing's Mansion is rude! ”
Princess Changle pouted, why did Li Xuanyi protect the sick and crooked Liang Yan at this time? Who is slowly delaying time? Who waited for half an hour in the snow and ice?
Princess Changle bit her lower lip aggrievedly, and looked at Li Xuanyi with some condemnation in her wet eyes.
saw that Li Xuanyi didn't look at her, so he helped Liang Yan and got into the carriage.
"Princess, it's cold outside, let's get into the carriage too?" Xingyu stepped forward and persuaded slowly.
Princess Changle shook off her hand and stepped on the stool to get into the carriage.
The carriage rolled heavily on the flat road and rolled towards the palace.
Liang Yan took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on her pale face.
She could see the smugness in Princess Changle's eyes when she saw her, did she think she was going to die of illness? Let's make the villain laugh for a while! How proud is she?
Laba banquet is placed in the main hall of Hanyuan Palace.
When everyone from King Jing's Mansion came, many people had already arrived.
The palace man led King Jing to his table.
King Jing did not relax his care for Liang Yan in front of everyone, and kept supporting her carefully, as if he was afraid that she would fall if she was not careful.
When the ladies and ladies on the side saw it, they were all envious, King Jing was not only extraordinary, but also a person who was in love.
Hearing that he had no concubines except for the two princesses, the women looked at Liang Yan's gaze, and their eyes became more and more red. Princess Changle, who came in after her, seemed to be ignored.
She gritted her teeth and raised her hand to cover her chest, as if this action would make her more reassuring.
Liang Yan glanced back at her quietly, and when she saw her covering her chest, she hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled. found Shangguan Xi in the crowd who came to the banquet together, and the two glanced at each other.
Liang Yan nodded invisibly at Shangguan Xi.
The two exchanged a knowing look and sat down.
The princes and nobles who were invited to the banquet all sat down.
The Holy Empress and the Crown Prince also came.
"Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, the New Year is approaching, I am also happy with Zhongqing, eating a bowl of Laba porridge together, looking forward to the coming year, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment!" Shengshang said with a smile.
Everyone got up and made a pilgrimage to the Empress and praised the Holy Majesty.
Wenchen even chanted several poems of famous talents praising the saints and saints of today, and singing the praises of virtue, as the opening of tonight's banquet.
In the praise of the poetry of the literati, Liang Yan is also mentioned. praised her for not being greedy for her own selfish interests, for the benefit of the people, and what she did made many men ashamed.
He also praised the saint for popularizing movable type printing, caring for students all over the world, printing and circulating the books in the Jixian Pavilion collection, benefiting the majority of literati, and making contributions in the future.
This sycophant is really a technical job, and it sounds crepe, like a very subtle one.
I can see that there are more and more smiles on the face of the saint, and the hearty laughter echoes in the Hanyuan Hall for a long time.
Literati are sullen! It's just a personal boast, it's clearly a slap on the horse, and it's really a good thing to say.
Liang Yan put her hand on the table, pretending to be weak, and sighed in her heart.
The saint swept everyone in the hall, and when his eyes swept over Liang Yan's face, he couldn't help but stop, "Princess Jing, what's wrong?" ”
Liang Yan hurriedly knelt down and sat upright, and replied with her chin bowed: "Back to the saint, maybe the snow is cold, and the concubine occasionally feels cold, so she is not in good spirits, and she is a little weak, so she will atone for her sins in the saint." ”
Before the saint could speak, King Wei, who was sitting below, pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Isn't Dr. Liang a miracle doctor?" Why, can't a doctor heal himself, can't even a cold be cured? ”
Liang Yan hung her head and did not argue, showing a little grievance.
Li Xuanyi was about to speak, when he heard the saint say: "King Wei must not be rude!" ”
The crown prince glanced at King Wei fiercely, didn't he hear that his father's tone of concern for Liang Yan was quite concerned? And just now there is a poem that praises the saint and Liang Yan together. How blind did he have to be to touch the muzzle of the gun at this time?!
King Wei pursed his mouth and lowered his head.
King Ning cast a concerned and inquiring look at Li Xuanyi, and Li Xuanyi nodded at him, which was regarded as a greeting.
The queen smiled and brought up the topic on the side, so as not to make the atmosphere too awkward.
Hanyuan Hall immediately became lively again, as if just a small pebble had fallen into the surface of the lake just now, causing a series of ripples, and then returning to calm.
The saint and the princes and nobles talked for a while, and then clapped their hands and let the music and dancing girls go to the palace to cheer up.
The aroma of wine is pervasive, the singing is curling, and the dancing is enchanting.
It is clear that they are all Princess Jing, Liang Yan's table case is in the way of Li Xuanyi, but Princess Changle's table is several points away.
Although King Jing's explanation is that Liang Yan is unwell and needs to be taken care of.
But Princess Changle faintly heard the whispering of others. She felt a little unhappy, so she couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.
Ning Ruyue, who was not far from her, rubbed over, bit her ear and said, "Yan'er, why don't you see that your prince doesn't care much about you?" ”
Princess Changle raised her hand and pushed Ning Ruyue, "Nonsense!" It's just because she was sick that the prince was afraid that he would give me too much, so he asked me to sit farther away. ”
Ning Ruyue grinned, "What you say is what it is!" ”
Princess Changle's heart became more and more unhappy.
Accompanied by the music, the dancing girl stepped back and replaced herself with a mask, dancing a big face, and interpreting a generation of legendary Lanling King.
When the king of Lanling led the troops to fight, many people got up from their couches and jumped up quite into the play.
The atmosphere was momentarily connected on and off the stage.
Sheng's input, instead of stopping the scolding of everyone, but rather appreciatively jumped the most devoted Shangguan Xi nodded.
Shangguan Xi left from his position, dancing with the masked servants on the stage, and quietly approached Princess Changle.
Everyone watched the devotion, and many people left their positions at this time.
No one paid too much attention to Shangguan Xi.
But seeing that Shangguan Xi was not very tripped by someone, he fell towards Princess Changle violently.
Liyun, who was serving Princess Changle, was caught off guard, and before she could stop Shangguan Xi, she saw her fall into Princess Changle's arms.
She reached out and touched Princess Changle's chest.
Princess Changle didn't guard against what she did, but glared at her and said, "King Lanling is you so frivolous?" ”
Shangguan Xi smiled and said a little embarrassed: "Mistake, mistake!" Don't blame the princess! ”
She stood up with the help of Liyun, and suddenly stared at Princess Changle in front of her and said, "What is that?!" ”
Her voice howled so loudly that the big face on the stage came to an end, and the music in the hall stopped abruptly.
Her voice undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.
Princess Changle quickly bent down and picked up the things on the ground and put them in her sleeve pocket, "It's nothing, it's just my sachet." ”
Shangguan Xi glared and said, "It's not a sachet!" I see it! Something is written on it! ”
Princess Changle frowned and glared at Shangguan Xi, "Nonsense! You read it wrong! That's an embroidered plum blossom! ”
Shangguan Xi shook his head again and again, "I'm not mistaken, I don't believe you can take it out and take a look!" It's clear that something is written! ”
Princess Changle rolled her eyes, "This is my own embroidery, can I not know what is on it?" ”
Shangguan Xi has to say again.
Suddenly, I heard the voice of the queen on the top: "How can the things embroidered by my daughter's family be shown to others in public!" This little lady is the daughter of the Shangguan family? ”
The queen's words were quite majestic, as if she was secretly reproaching Shangguan Xi for her rudeness.
Shangguan Xi was anxious, how could she do if she didn't complete the task assigned to her by Sister A? !
