Chapter 29: The Feast of Flowers
Spring is shining, and fragrant flowers are in full bloom.
The daughters of the boudoir in the capital, each of them got up early, sat in front of the dresser, and painted delicate and beautiful makeup.
Just because today is the feast of flowers that everyone is looking forward to.
Lin Jinglan got up very early today, sitting in front of the dresser, and Qiao Yan helped her make up.
"Miss, is that good?"
The person in the mirror, with a face like a flower, beautiful and dignified, looks really beautiful, and does not deliberately compete for brilliance, but on the original face, a little powder.
The bun is lightly pulled up, only held in place by a few hairpins, revealing a swan-like neck.
A light blue dress complements each other.
"Good."
Neither very plain, nor too bright, competing for whose brilliance.
Today's Hundred Flowers Banquet was presided over by the queen, and all the daughters and ladies in the capital came to participate in the flowers, flowers and drink.
The scene of the annual Hundred Flowers Banquet is very large, and the emperor will also bring civil and military officials and sons of families to participate.
The most important thing is that at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, if each daughter is absolutely confident in herself, she can perform on stage.
In the end, the emperor and empress jointly evaluated, and the winner was the leader of the year's hundred flowers.
The woman who got the leader must be both talented and beautiful, and then became the first place in this year's silkworm working hour festival.
It can be said that it is the highest pursuit of many women, after all, who doesn't want to be famous in the world and sought after by men in the world.
At this time in Lin Jinglan's previous life, it was a time of despair in his heart, so he did not participate in the performance, and Lin Qingxue did not participate.
However, Lin Qingxue made the queen look at her differently, which was much more useful than the so-called Hundred Flowers Leader.
"Miss, are you alright? Madame and Second Miss were already waiting at the door. ”
Someone outside the door came to urge, and Lin Jinglan got up and walked out.
Her mother has always been like this, she only cares about Lin Qingxue in her heart, and she has never been her.
"Xue'er is so good-looking today, if you want to, Xue'er must be the leader of today's Hundred Flowers Banquet, but unfortunately, Xue'er doesn't value these."
"Hmph, the second brother will laugh at me."
As soon as I came to the gate, I heard Lin Qingyun praising Lin Qingxue with a smile, and his eyes were full of love.
And Lin Xiaotian and Mrs. Lin stood to the side with loving eyes, and Lin Jinglan didn't want to disturb the happy scene.
Simply stand aside and wait until they all have good things to say before leaving.
They said a few more words of praise to Lin Qingxue, and it seemed that they had just thought of Lin Jinglan, and Lin Qingyun frowned and asked.
"Why is that girl so slow, let so many of us wait for her, there are no rules at all."
"Second brother, I'm here."
When Lin Qingyun wanted to speak again, Lin Jinglan smiled directly and said, letting them notice that he was already standing at the door.
"When did you arrive?"
Lin Qingyun felt that his face was a little unbearable, and frowned and asked.
"Well, for a while, seeing that you were chatting happily, I didn't bother."
is still that dignified and generous, but in the eyes of their family of four, it seems to be mocking.
"My sister didn't say anything when she arrived, so let's leave as soon as possible."
Lin Qingxue smiled and spoke, today she was wearing clothes made of cloud smoke brocade, which was brilliant and bright.
Coupled with the set of ruby heads that Lin Jinglan gave her before, her face is really like a hibiscus, lively and delicate, and at a glance, it is much more eye-catching than Lin Jinglan.
"My sister looks really good in clothes made of this cloud and smoke brocade."
With a tone of envy and pity, Lin Qingxue said with joy in her heart.
Lin Jinglan has never been able to compete with herself, even if it is something that her grandmother left her.
If she says a word to herself, her father, mother, and brother will help her get it.
And she will not marry Xu Huai'an.
"My sister is also very good-looking."
Lin Qingxue looked a little shy, and saw that Lin Xiaotian and his wife were both spoiled.
In the end, everyone got into the carriage, Lin Xiaotian and Mrs. Lin plus Lin Qingxue in a car, Lin Qingyun rode a horse, and only Lin Jinglan sat in a carriage alone.
Looks lonely and unfed.
But this is what she likes, and now she doesn't want to be in the same room with them and watch them happy.
The place where the Hundred Flowers Banquet is held is in the Imperial Garden in the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Garden is very large, and the tables and chairs are scattered among the flowers, which is very different from before.
The nearest ones are the emperor and queen, and there are several seats for the prince and prince, and the position of the Lin family is still relatively high.
Lin Jinglan also consciously chose a side seat to sit, looking at the people coming and going, with that light and dignified smile on the corner of his mouth.
"The fifth princess is here, that's the fifth princess."
The fifth princess is from the queen, dignified and noble, and she is also the leader of the last Hundred Flowers Banquet, and she is the object of envy of the entire capital women.
The fifth princess walked all the way, not squinting, but when she arrived at the Dingbei Hou Mansion, she stopped slightly, as if she had met an acquaintance.
There were rumors before that the emperor took a fancy to Lin Qingyun and intended to marry the fifth princess to Lin Qingyun.
The fifth princess stopped here, presumably just to talk to Lin Qingyun more.
After all, Lin Qingyun is also a rare young talent in the capital.
"The fifth princess is fine, second brother, don't hurry up and meet the fifth princess."
Lin Qingxue smiled and saluted the fifth princess, and then stabbed Lin Qingyun, who was still that proud.
Many young people looked at this place, faintly envious of Lin Qingyun.
It's just that Lin Qingyun is not happy, although he thinks that the fifth princess is not bad, but he is unwilling to marry the princess.
Just because after marrying the princess, there will be many restrictions, which will delay his achievements.
"See the fifth princess, it's just that at this time the Hundred Flowers Banquet, if the princess has something to say to me, it's not the right time, it's better to wait until after the banquet."
Lin Qingyun said lightly, as if the princess was pestering him.
It makes many people hate it.
It's just that the fifth princess glanced at Lin Qingyun and Lin Qingxue coldly, without emotion, cold and dull.
"I'm not here to look for you."
After saying this, he set his eyes on Lin Jinglan, who had a light and dignified expression on the side.
"Lin Jinglan, it's been three months, just because of an angry word, you can't come to me, do you really want to break off relations with me? However, you won, the last time it was me who was not good, without your feelings, don't be angry, okay? ”
“.....”
At the end, the fifth princess was still a little aggrieved, and looked at Lin Jinglan fixedly.
The fifth princess didn't come to find Lin Qingyun, but to find Lin Jinglan.
This came as a surprise to everyone.
"What did the fifth princess say, how dare I be angry with the princess, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the Hundred Flowers Banquet today."
