Chapter 12: Going to the Feast
Just as Lu'er told Lan Yu the secret she heard outside the kitchen, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and Lan Yu made a silent gesture to Lu Er.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the prince is invited. Duman's respectful voice rang out outside the door.
Lan Yu walked out of the door and said to Du Man with a smile: "Butler, you don't have to call me 'Her Royal Highness Princess', just call me Lan Yu." ”
"This ...... The slave didn't dare to ......" Du Man glanced at Lan Yu hesitantly, still standing with his head bowed respectfully.
"That's good, you call me Miss Lanyu, call me Your Highness, I'm really not used to it. Lan Yu insisted.
"That'...... All right. Duman reluctantly agreed. "That'...... Can Miss Sapphire go now?"
"You go back to the prince first, I'm not used to the climate here, I'm a little cold, I'll be there later when I change my clothes. ”
"Yes, the girl doesn't need to worry, I'll go and tell the prince first. I'll come back later, and ask the girl to come. ”
With that, Duman turned and left.
Lan Yu entered the room, looking at the things sent by the Yizhi cult, he didn't look carefully at first, but now he looks, those clothes are suitable for wearing in the morning, noon and evening, the Xiongnu is located in the north, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is particularly large, so the clothes are sandwiched, single, and gauze, all available.
Lan Yu originally wanted to refuse, but looking at those clothes, she couldn't help but feel glad that she didn't refuse, and she was even more surprised by Yi Zhixi's carefulness.
"Princess......" Lu'er looked at Lan Yu, "what are we going to do now?"
"Now that we are in the palace, now that we know his intentions, it is better to respond to all changes with the same. Lan Yu mused.
"But...... That man is so scary, who knows what he's going to do with us?" Lu'er looked at Lan Yu with some concern.
"I know your worries, but that's the only way to do it, at least for now, Yi Zhiyi is good to us, isn't it?" Lan Yu muttered, "Besides, we don't know what kind of person Yu Shan is...... Maybe it's even worse in his hands......"
"yes," Midori nodded, "maybe it's a scarier person......
"Okay, let's not let the prince wait for a long time, once he comes, he will be safe. Help me pick out a piece of clothing. ”
As they spoke, they both turned their gazes to the clothes.
The style of these clothes is modeled after the clothing of Han Dynasty women, but the wide robes and large sleeves of the Han Dynasty are slightly improved, and the cuffs and waist are modified to be more close-fitting. Lan Yu liked it at a glance. Picked out a light blue silk from the inside, gold inlaid jade buttons rolled fur edge jacket changed, looked at the bronze mirror, couldn't help but admire the designer of this dress, maybe his original intention was for ease of action, but I didn't expect this narrow sleeves and thin waist design, worn on the body but highlighted the wearer's figure, more and more the woman's charm and moving to the extreme.
"My princess looks good in anything!" said Lu'er smiled.
"It's just your sweet mouth!" Lan Yu said angrily.
At this time, Duman's voice sounded outside the door at the right time.
"Are the girls ready?"
"Alright. Lan Yu looked at the veil on the table, thought about it, picked it up and put it on her face.
"Girl, please come with me. Duman made a gesture of invitation and took the lead.
Lan Yu and Lu'er followed Du Man, and the three of them went out of Luo Yuxuan together, bypassed the garden of the palace, and walked to the front court.
As soon as Lan Yu entered the hall, she saw that the noisy hall seemed to be silent for a moment, and dozens of eyes with different meanings in the hall were projected on her.
Lan Yu felt a little cramped, looked around, didn't know where she should sit, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Yi Zhixie lazily reclining on a chair covered with tiger skin, and was also looking at her at this time. There was something in her eyes that she didn't understand.
Yi Zhiye only stared at Lan Yu and didn't speak, and everyone in the hall didn't dare to speak, and the atmosphere gradually became a little awkward. Just as Lan Yu was hesitating to say something, Yi Zhixie's voice slowly sounded:
"Come over here, sit here. ”
Following his fingers, Lan Yu saw that the seat was in the first position on the right hand side of Yi Zhixie, and without anyone else's words, Lan Yu could also see that it was a VIP position. She walked over as she was told, and caught a glimpse of Princess Hezhen sitting opposite. Kazuma was blushing at this time, looking at her with jealous eyes.
Lan Yu sighed secretly in her heart, it seems that she has settled with this princess's Liangzi, and she is afraid that her life will not be easy in the future.
Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Hezhen on the other side couldn't hold his breath and was in trouble:
"Oh, it's really a VIP, don't say that you have made all the guests wait for so long, even the prince didn't pay attention to it, and I don't know which wild place it came from, the shelf is so big, don't you pay attention to etiquette there?"
Lan Yu frowned, got up with his hands, and bowed to everyone: "Lord Wang, distinguished guests, let everyone wait for a long time, please forgive the little girl for not guilty, it is really because I first arrived in the precious land, the night was cold, and I changed my clothes again, so the banquet time was delayed, and I hope you will forgive me!"
These words were reasonable, and Lan Yu's voice was gentle and beautiful, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, everyone was stunned for a while, thinking to themselves, this woman's voice is so beautiful, but it's a pity that the veil covers her face, and she doesn't know what her appearance is. Everyone didn't care about Lan Yu's late arrival at all, but the princess spoke, and they didn't know what to do, so they all looked at Yi Zhixi.
Kazuma wanted to say something more, but seeing that everyone was looking at Yi Zhixi, she also looked over, only to see Yi Zhixie pursing her lips and looking at her coldly, so she had to stop her mouth stupidly.
Everyone below looked at the prince's expression, and didn't seem to blame Lan Yu, but blamed the real princess for having more mouths, and immediately understood the weight of this blue jade in the prince's heart, and they all played a round and said:
"Distinguished guests come from afar, and there is no need to be polite. ”
Yi Zhiyi waved his hand, and Du Man hurriedly announced the official start of the banquet.
The servants began to serve a variety of food and drinks, and the dancers also came on the stage one after another, and began to entertain the banquet performances.
The food here is not the same as Loulan, and there are many things imported from the Han Dynasty, Lan Yu has never seen them at all, her attention is attracted by these strange things, she tastes the delicious meal seriously, and watches the dancers perform dances, completely ignoring a thoughtful gaze that stops on her from time to time.
He Zhen turned his head and wanted to toast Yi Zhixi, but what he saw was such a scene, and Yi Zhixie's eyes actually drifted to that woman again! They had only met a few times, and this woman had already snatched away the soul of the prince! She couldn't be tolerated! He Zhen thought angrily.
It's just that I don't know the origin of this woman, it seems that I heard that it is related to the prince, the prince has always had a gap with the prince, I don't know what the relationship between this woman and the prince is?
While thinking about it, Kazuma signaled to the maid beside her, Yanhong, who immediately understood, bowed her head to Hezhen's side, and explained to Yanhong like this, and Yanhong quietly retreated.
