Palace Banquet(3)
Ye Qing pulled Mu Chuyan like a gust of wind, and the road was unimpeded, and the guards at the palace gate needed to see the invitation before they could enter the palace for a banquet.
Mu Chuyan guessed that Ye Qing was used to it, recalling that when she first saw her, her style was completely as long as she liked the things she liked must be snatched back and taken for herself.
Although I heard her say that the Zhenguo General's Mansion was occupied by her stepmother, her uncle was very protective of her shortcomings, and it was estimated that she would feel distressed when her parents were gone, so she would be safe and sound.
Although Ye Qing is a bold and arrogant person, there must be many things hidden in his heart that are not enough for outsiders to say, no matter where they are in this world, everyone is used to wearing a mask to hide the truth of their hearts, this is the way to survive.
Thinking about these things in his heart, Mu Chuyan had no time to watch every scenery in the palace, and was called by Ye Qing for a few words before he suddenly came back to his senses.
The area here is not small, the banquet is set up on both sides, separated by a small lake in the middle, the lake water glows with a little blue light under the sunlight, occasionally a wisp of breeze brings ripples in the water, some pink and white lotus flowers are planted in the lake, it is the most beautiful appearance of opening at this time, and it seems to complement each other against the backdrop of the emerald green lotus leaves.
Since it is still necessary to take into account the reputation between men and women, there is a small rockery in the middle of the lake, but you can see each other on the opposite side.
Although it is a banquet for the Seven Princes today, everyone secretly knows it, but whether the young men and women can match each other, and then the daughters of some famous and powerful families see if they can arouse the favor of the Seven Princes.
It is precisely like this that those famous ladies are all dressed up with all their might, their temples are towering, and the fat powder is also quite strong, maybe they are infected day by day, and they don't feel how smoky they are.
It's unfortunate that Mu Chuyan is a person who rarely uses powder and pursues comfort, so when he gathers like this, the fat powder is even more exponentially drilled into Mu Chuyan's nose.
So when Ye Qing was about to pull Mu Chuyan over, Mu Chuyan stopped her steps, she only felt that her chest was really uncomfortable.
Seeing Ye Qing looking at him with puzzlement, Mu Chuyan broke away from the arm that was held by Ye Qing, held the ginkgo tree trunk on the side with one hand, covered his chest with the other, and waved his hand: "You should wait for me to rest for a while, the fat powder in front of me is too thick, my chest is tight, wait a while." ”
Ye Qing realized that he only cared about himself along the way, as if he had neglected Mu Chuyan's body, and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, I won't care so much when I'm excited, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that I'm a little tight, and you're really going to find me a place to play, but what do you want to do? Wear from here to the opposite side to see the Seven Princes? Not so good. ”
As soon as he eased up a little, Mu Chuyan threw out these questions, raised his hand and wanted to wipe the sweat stains on his forehead with a handkerchief, but he didn't notice that there was a fork in the place where he was leaning, and when he raised his hand, he directly tore the layer of yarn on his coat.
Ye Qing wanted to answer, but when he saw the yarn that was split in two at Mu Chuyan's arm, he laughed directly: "I didn't find you so funny." ”
Mu Chuyan was carrying the broken veil, very speechless, looking at Ye Qing all the time smiling, and the corners of his mouth showed a look of smiling flesh and flesh.
"I said Miss Ye, but you insisted on taking me out to cause this result, and you are still laughing so heartless!"
Ye Qing immediately stopped laughing as soon as he heard this, and coughed a few times: "Ahem, I didn't expect you to be here now, so I'll take you to my aunt to change your dress first, anyway, Brother Yunyu has always been very slow." ”
Mu Chuyan had no choice but to follow Ye Qing, and to use a modern phrase to describe Mu Chuyan's mood at the moment is 'fire prevention, anti-theft, and anti-Ye Qing'!
On the way, Ye Qing roughly told Mu Chuyan about this aunt, her aunt is the emperor's Xuan Guifei, she is very easy to get along with, and she is the best person to Ye Qing except for Ye Qing's uncle.
Although Ye Qing's parents are not there, it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune to have a good uncle and aunt to protect and spoil him.
Following Ye Qing didn't take much detour, he arrived at the Shuiyun Palace where Concubine Xuan lived, Mu Chuyan found that there were not many people serving in the entire palace, everyone behaved in a proper manner, and the overall layout of the palace was not difficult to see that Concubine Xuan liked Yajing, and it was very commendable to be in this cage and maintain such a heart not to be infected by the struggle for power and profit in the palace, but there are always some means of self-preservation.
Seeing this, when Mu Chuyan saw Xuan Guifei, he was shocked to realize how vividly the word demure and elegant was reflected in Xuan Guifei, putting aside those empty words, Xuan Guifei's face made people feel comfortable at a glance.
There are not many luxurious jewelry, many complicated Luo skirts, but it can make people feel that this person used to be a model of everyone's beauty in the boudoir.
At this time, Concubine Xuan was standing in front of the desk, raising her sleeves and painting, which made people can't bear to disturb such a wonderful scene.
Before the maid next to her had time to remind Concubine Xuan, Ye Qing had already rushed up to give Concubine Xuan a hug, which shows that the aunt and nephew have deep feelings.
"Auntie, Qing'er misses you so much!"
For Ye Qing's soft voice, Xuan Guifei did not rush to answer, but gently put the brush aside, pulled Ye Qing away, and looked at it carefully, as if she was relieved.
"Auntie, are you worried that the mother and son in the house will bully me? Don't worry, Qing'er will protect herself, they can't do anything to me. ”
"You don't want to come to the palace more often to see the palace, how can the palace rest assured, every time you let you come, you push back, what, come to the palace today! Say, what do you want? ”
Concubine Xuan's voice is like her person, even if she deliberately has a little anger, she is as noble as the Empty Valley Youlan but not arrogant.
Ye Qing's hand was just pulled down, and the whole person was sticky like kraft candy, and Concubine Xuan didn't have a problem with her.
As soon as Concubine Xuan asked about Ye Qing, she remembered the matter, quickly got up, and stepped forward to pull Mu Chuyan to explain the reason.
After listening, Concubine Xuan pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "It turned out to be the daughter of Mu Shilang's family, don't be restrained, since Qing'er said it, how can this palace not help, look at Miss Mu, your body shape is no different from this palace, well, Quan'er, you take Miss Mu to the palace room to pick a suitable Luo skirt." ”
Mu Chuyan gave a salute and followed.
As soon as Mu Chuyan left here, Concubine Xuan Guifei immediately pulled Ye Qing and asked: "You girl, don't bully other people, Miss Mu has a good temperament, just bring people to come, otherwise it will drag people down, don't say it, I have to clean it up for you, do you hear it, don't you come today, even if you go to see your brother Yunyu, remember to follow the rules, don't be caught!" ”
Before she finished speaking, Ye Qing directly grabbed the pastries on the table and ate them, directly saying that she couldn't do it with her actions.
"Auntie, don't talk to me, now you know why I don't want to come, come again, my ears will have calluses." Ye Qing chewed the pastry in his mouth and said vaguely.
Concubine Xuan didn't bother to tell her more, it was useless to say it no matter how many times, she just wanted her to remember not to overdo everything, and the rest was just with her.
At this time, Mu Chuyan changed into a water blue Luo skirt, and the skirt was a gardenia she loved very much, surrounded by a faint circle of gold thread, if it was in the sun, it would be particularly good-looking, although it was low-key, but it also lined Mu Chuyan with a little more delicate at this time, and she should have the posture she should have.
This is the most inconspicuous one she can find among all the Luo skirts of the concubine, and it happens to have a flower that she likes.
After the change, Mu Chuyan returned to the main hall under the leadership of the palace maid, and saw Ye Qing who was there with Erlang's legs crossed at a glance, and at this moment she was leisurely drinking tea.
As soon as Ye Qing looked up and saw her, her starry eyes instantly lit up, she quickly put down the tea cup in her hand, rushed over and pulled Mu Chuyan and sighed again and again: "Look at how good-looking you are now, the previous dresses were too bland, and you will wear them like this in the future, be sure that the sons of this Qiandu family are all obsessed with you, you know." ”
"Qing'er, don't talk nonsense, you have tarnished the name of your daughter's family for nothing, this matter is big or small." Hearing this, Concubine Xuan hurriedly reprimanded, some words could not be spoken.
Ye Qing was so stupid that she didn't make a sound, but she was still muttering quietly in her mouth.
Mu Chuyan ignored her nonsense, just saluted Concubine Xuan, and said slowly: "Thank you Niangniang for your help, the courtiers will return to Niangniang in the future." “
Concubine Xuan smiled gently: "Don't be polite to this palace, this palace is getting older, and this palace can't control such a delicate color, you are a good boy, Qing'er, this child is willing to associate with you as a friend, it must be excellent, don't be polite in the future, let Qing'er often take you to this palace to sit here, and talk to this palace." ”
Concubine Xuan Guifei was worried that Ye Qing was reluctant to come to her, and she really hoped that Miss Mu would let Qing'er come more, and she could rest assured, this Miss Mu family looked like a good person to get along with, and Qing'er could also learn from Miss Mu's calm temperament.
"Auntie, we're running out of time, if you have anything to say next time, take good care of yourself, Qing'er will take her away first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Qing couldn't wait to pull Mu Chuyan out, afraid that Concubine Xuan would talk more and more and miss the hour.
"You must remember not to bring people here today, the palace doesn't care if something happens."
Concubine Xuan Guifei behind her was worried again, and saw that the people were going farther and farther until they disappeared, so she reluctantly turned around and went back to the palace with a smile.
