Chapter 49: Everyone Confesses Himself
Inside the side hall of the Taihe Palace.
"Miss Lu, you are dressed very delicately today, let's compare with you, there is really a difference between cloud and mud!"
Lin Yiman, the youngest daughter of the Lin family of Dali Temple, is used to saying good things to please Lu Huanting.
This flattering sentence also transferred everyone's nervous mood to Lu Huanting.
Her father is the prime minister of the dynasty, and if he can become friends with her, it will be beneficial and harmless to his family.
Everyone also followed Lin Yiman around, Lu Huanting wore a blue dress with streamer Shu brocade today, plus the light-colored bead hairpin on her head, which was indeed gentle and lovely.
Listening to Lin Yiman's compliment, a trace of disdain flashed in Lu Huanting's eyes, but there was still a smile on her face.
"Iman, you see that the other sisters are also good-looking, we are here to entertain the queen's birthday performance today, so naturally we all have to dress the best."
The rest of the ladies also chattered around Lu Huanting, and naturally they all praised her for her good looks and temperament.
Only Zhao Pingping, the daughter of Zhao Yong, sat on the side, bored watching this group of people complimenting Lu Huanting.
"Really? I don't think she's the same thing. ”
A delicate voice came from outside the hall, instantly interrupting everyone's compliments.
Lu Huanting's little face was flushed, she was about to see who didn't even give her face, and everyone looked at the source of the voice.
"It's Qin Ruoxi!"
Someone shouted quietly.
Qin Ruoxi is the orphan of the king of Ruyang, the king of Ruyang is the first emperor to be sealed, died of illness five years ago, leaving Qin Ruoxi a daughter, the queen mother is pitiful and raised her by her side, Qin Ruoxi is deeply favored by the queen mother, the emperor is even more pity on her and named her the county lord of Jiacheng, and now she is also given the county lord's mansion, which is considered to be a supreme glory.
The prominent status and supreme honor have created her extraordinarily pampered temperament, and even Lu Huanting is not her opponent.
Today, Qin Ruoxi is wearing a big red palace dress, but she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and this dress is lined with her fair and transparent skin, which is particularly playful and cute.
Lu Huanting gritted her teeth and saluted the county lord of Jiacheng with everyone.
"See the county lord of Jiacheng."
Qin Ruoxi raised his chin slightly, and put his hands behind his back.
"The queen's banquet for you to perform, but you are here to discuss whose clothes are good-looking, and the mess is a mess, is no one caring?"
Lu Huanting's eyes flickered, and she suddenly stepped forward to remind.
"The aunt of Kunning Hall said that Princess Yu came to arrange it today, but she has not seen Princess Yu at the moment, and the sisters are nervous for a while, so we found other topics to distract ourselves, so as not to be too nervous and make a mistake in the performance and sweep the interest of the queen mother."
These words were extremely good, first pushing the responsibility of being unattended to Princess Yu Su Youning, and then interpreting the situation where everyone was messing around her just now to relieve everyone's tension.
Qin Ruoxi raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was not disgusted by Lu Huanting's words, and blinked her eyes and asked the palace maid in the side hall.
"When will Princess Yu come?"
When asking like this, Su Youning had already walked in with the palace maid.
The palace maid was a little stunned, looking at the county lord of Jiacheng who appeared here at this moment, and hurriedly returned to her senses to give a salute.
"Slave and maid, see the county lord of Jiacheng."
Qin Ruoxi looked at the girl wearing palace clothes behind the palace maid, stepped forward to look her up and down, and then asked.
"You're Princess Yu?"
Su Youning listened to the palace maid call her the county lord of Jiacheng, although she was very disgusted by her inquiring tone, she still nodded slightly.
Just as Lu Huanting and the others were waiting to see the good show of Princess Yu angrily choked by the county lord of Jiacheng, Qin Ruoxi suddenly smiled and stepped forward to take Su Youning's hand.
"The Queen Mother said that Princess Yu just saved her, I just wanted to see what kind of person it was, but I didn't expect Princess Yu to be a few years old with me!"
Su Youning was slightly stunned, almost didn't react to Qin Ruoxi's sudden smile at her, and smiled quietly after coming back to her senses.
"It's just a coincidence, and being able to turn the Queen Mother into peace is also the creation of Youning."
Qin Ruoxi squinted at Su Youning slightly, and the smile on his face seemed to be very satisfied.
"You still have important things to do today, so I won't talk to you more, I have to go to my county lord's mansion to sit down."
The people in the entire side hall were stunned, Qin Ruoxi, who had always been arrogant, was so polite to Su Youning, and the meaning in his words was that Su Youning accidentally saved the Queen Mother?
Lu Huanting was really angry, and the hand holding the handkerchief gradually tightened.
After Qin Ruoxi left, Su Youning looked at the room full of delicate and glamorous young ladies, and her mind was dizzy for a while, but she had to endure the performance and said loudly.
"Do you have a record of the content of the programs prepared by each lady?"
The palace maid in the side hall handed over the booklet.
Su Youning flipped through it roughly, there were songs, dances, operas, sword dances, guqins, pipa and so on!
It's just that most of them are dance-based, and after pondering for a while, Su Youning quickly decided that the performance would start with a dance, and the rest of the programs would be interspersed, and finally end with a dance.
Thinking so, he picked up the pen on the table and began to mark the order before the show reported by the ladies, and the corresponding number of the show was the number of the show.
Lu Huanting frowned and looked at her when Su Youning came in, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Earlier, she sent a message to King Yu's mansion to see what was so strange about Princess Yu, and actually asked her to arrange this, but she didn't expect to wait for a rejection post.
Before coming to the side hall, she was with Lin Suya again, and listened to Lin Suya talk about Su Youning's clever mouth when she visited the shrine today, and she was even more displeased at this moment.
"Princess Yu, do you make your own decisions like this and don't consult with your sisters? So many shows, all in your order? ”
The ladies naturally have the order in which they want to play, some are timid and want to be at the back, and some are bold and want to perform quickly.
Lu Huanting seized this point and caused everyone's dissatisfaction with Su Youning.
Sure enough, Lin Yiman was the first to echo Lu Huanting.
"What Miss Lu said is exact, Princess Yu, the queen mother just asked you to arrange it, but no one let you call the shots!"
The other ladies began to whisper, their frowning brows showing their dissatisfaction with Su Youning.
Ruyi began to panic, there are so many young ladies, and she alone knows many people whose family backgrounds are higher than those of Su Fu, not to mention Lu Huanting, who is the leader.
The palace maids of Kunning Hall all stepped aside at this moment, looking like they were watching a good show.
Su Youning pursed her lips and looked at everyone chattering in front of her.
Zhao Pingping suddenly rushed from the back to the front.
"Since the queen mother has been handed over to Princess Yu, we have to listen to her!"
Su Youning glanced at Zhao Pingping gratefully.
Lu Huanting snorted coldly.
"It's an arrangement, but you have to take into account everyone's ideas, if you listen to her, won't it become a hall of words."
When everyone saw Lu Huanting speak again, they immediately agreed.
"Yes, Princess Yu should consult with us."
"That's it!"
"yes, I don't want to be the first to go, what if something goes wrong?"
......
Su Youning watched the commotion in the side hall, and slammed the booklet in his hand on the bookcase on the side.
This kind of movement made everyone silent instantly, and Su Youning said with a calm face.
"Do you want to keep making trouble? Do you want to continue to argue? ”
"The Thousand Autumn Banquet has begun, and there is no young lady performing in the hall at this moment, if everyone still wants to argue, the time is left for everyone."
Immediately afterwards, Su Youning took the booklet in his hand and presented it to everyone.
"It's just that I have arranged all the programs on the booklet, and the young people are soft-spoken, saying that they can't move everyone to play, so let's go, if the queen asks about it, everyone can explain it by themselves."
