Chapter 24: The Palace Banquet
Speaking of the queen mother Su Wanxiang, Nan Luotian has some impressions.
Because the queen mother is her mother's handkerchief, she is also a distant cousin, and she is somewhat related to her relatives.
When she was young, the queen often invited her into the palace to play.
But every time he was ostracized, there were too many times, and the original owner didn't like to enter the palace, so the relationship with the queen was naturally estranged.
The memories of the past have been blurred, and Nan Luotian can't remember it very well.
But now that she sees the eyes of the queen, she always feels that the person who came is not good.
After Qin Yuxiu and Nan Luo sat down, many eyes fell on her, and the three hottest ones were Qin Tairan, Nan Yuwei and Gu Jinbai.
Qin Tairan was interested in her, but that extremely aggressive look made her very uncomfortable.
Nan Yuwei was beaten in the morning and afternoon, and she naturally hated Nan Luotian, and her eyes looked like she had been quenched with poison. And the position happened to be behind her, so close.
Gu Jinbai's gaze was a little inquiring, and he found that he couldn't understand this little cousin now.
The banquet was the queen's birthday banquet, followed by a tribute to Gu Jinhua's great achievements.
Because the three handsome young men of the Gu family and His Royal Highness the eldest prince are unmarried, many marriageable women come here with their eyes open, just to have the opportunity to be looked at, and then fly on the branches to become phoenixes.
Although those girls were looking forward to being looked down upon by the young men of the Gu family and the princes, after seeing Qin Yuxiu, they were so obsessed that they couldn't take their eyes off it.
At this time, everyone had a bit of pity in their eyes.
If it is said that the jade tree is in the wind, it must be that His Royal Highness is the leader. It's a pity that those legs, if the legs are not injured, it is a freshly dressed angry horse boy, and it is a bright color in Kyoto City.
Qin Yuxiu couldn't help but clench his wine glass, what he didn't like the most was to be pitied!
Nan Luo, who was sitting beside him elegantly peeling the fruit, felt his emotions, hooked his lips and smiled, but did not make a sound.
The position of Gu Jinbai, the third cousin of the Gu family, was next to Nanluo, and he could speak with a little sideways.
"Hey, is it true that last time you said that I would be able to win the first prize in the hunting tournament held by the Academy?"
Gu Jinbai hesitated for a long time before pulling down his face and talking to Nan Luo.
And Nan Luo leaned his ears and moved, obviously hearing it, but he still ate the fruit indifferently, staring at the field with clear eyes, and put on a clear posture of watching the play.
Gu Jinbai shouted twice, but Nan Luotian still didn't react.
In desperation, he had to reach out and pat her on the shoulder, "Hey, I'm talking to you, did you hear me?" ”
"There is no one to feed here, Gu Sangongzi spoke cautiously." Nan Luo tilted his head and looked at him with a smile, looking at the relationship very distant.
Gu Jinbai had never imagined such a situation, after all, Nan Luotian was very good at talking in the Gu Mansion before, and he thought that Nan Luotian had changed his temperament.
At least people have become gentle and virtuous.
But he didn't expect it! Nan Luo's temperament is still so tricky and difficult!
It was he who was blind and thought that Nan Luotian had really gotten better.
"What kind of tricks are you playing? Didn't you ask me before, saying that if I wanted to win the competition, I would come to you? ”
"It depends on our friendship, if you tell me to feed us, we don't have any friendship at all. If you call me a little cousin, won't our friendship be deeper? ”
After Nan Luo finished speaking, Gu Jinbai felt very reasonable.
That seems to be the case.
So, Gu Jinbai obediently called out to his little cousin, "You said you had to give me a bow and arrow last time, but it's still a word?" ”
"Naturally, I'll send you to the house in a few days."
The little cousin was very useful, and she agreed happily.
Gu Jinbai realized that he seemed to be a little in a hurry, so he coughed lightly and explained to himself: "I'm not trying to get you a bow and arrow, I just want to see what tricks you play." ”
"Third cousin, don't worry, you will beg me when the time comes." Nan Luo was very confident.
At this time, the lights on the field dimmed a little, and elegant music sounded again.
The queen mother said at the top: "Zhong Aiqing is also tired of tasting wine, look at the singing and dancing to relieve the fatigue." However, in order to make everyone enjoy it, the main palace has added a colorful head, that is, the dragon's blood mushroom, which is rare in a hundred years, is a healing medicine. This palace has always cherished and is reluctant to take it out, and today is happy, there is nothing willing and reluctant, and the public Aiqing is the best happy. ”
As soon as the words fell, a grandmother took the dragon's blood mushroom out to show everyone.
Nan Luo's attention was all attracted by the dragon's blood mushroom, under the candle flame. Dragon's Blood Mushroom is still glowing.
That's a good thing.
Qin Yuxiu's face was black all the time, no matter what the queen said, he was not interested.
Nan Luo secretly scolded him for not knowing the goods.
"That dragon's blood mushroom is the second medicine to treat the prince's leg injury, and there will be no such shop in this village after that." Nan Luo kindly reminded.
Qin Yuxiu was reluctant to turn his head and glance at Dragon Blood Zhi.
There are quite a few people on the field who are bound to get Dragon's Blood Zhi, after all, this is a healing elixir, who doesn't want to leave a life-saving medicine.
The girls were not interested in any elixir, and they dressed up carefully so that the nobles on the field could take a more look at them.
In this way, they are more likely to fly up the branches.
"Since it's the second flavor medicine, you have to get it." Qin Yuxiu said even more lightly.
Nan Luotian didn't take his words seriously at all, so she didn't do such a flattering thing.
Since Qin Yuxiu wanted Dragon Blood Zhi, he had to figure out his own way.
The Queen's voice continued to ring.
"In order to make the competition more fair, the palace invited the prince of Chu to be the judge, thinking that it would be the most fair and just. If there are no objections, you can start now. ”
Everyone was in an uproar, the prince of Chu State is here? I had never heard of people from other countries attending the Queen's birthday banquet.
Chu is a neighbor of Qi, although it is not as strong as Qi, but it is a prince of a country.
Some girls put their hopes on the prince of Chu.
If you happen to be taken by the prince of Chu State, then she is also a princess.
Nan Luotian was also a little curious about who the prince of Chu was in the mouth of the queen's mother, so she turned her eyes around, but she didn't find the person who was suspected to be the prince of Chu.
I don't know where the man is hiding.
Perhaps there were too many such eyes at the banquet, and the queen mother patiently explained: "Everyone doesn't have to guess where the prince of Chu is, he is behind the curtain, although you can't see him clearly, but he can see you clearly."
If everyone is almost ready, they can come up and perform, in no particular order. ”
There are singing and dancing, and you can also watch beautiful women, most people are very interested.
The first one to go up was Chu Xuan'er.
