Chapter 15
Luo Xue walked to a low table and sat down elegantly, but Tiancheng ran over and muttered, "Sister, why are you making yourself ugly today?"
I didn't pay much attention to it just now, but when I saw the eyes of the people around me, I noticed that Sister Yan didn't seem to be as amazing as before. But Luo Xue said disapprovingly
"Ugly, no, I've been dressed up for a long time, I look good," Luo Xue pretended to be puzzled
Luo Tiancheng rolled his eyes and went back to his seat, since then Luo Xue has a problem with his aesthetics, and the impression of not being good at dressing up is engraved in his heart.
In fact, Luo Xue's current appearance is really not ugly, after all, such good facial features are placed there, no matter how much she hides it, she will not be ugly.
It's just that it's far less beautiful than in the past, Jin Lan and Tiancheng are used to seeing her in the past, and then look at the present. I feel that the gap is a bit big, but in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, she is also very delicate.
After a few tea hours, the people at this banquet were filled one after another, and the courtyard was full of young ladies and young ladies.
The one she wore was really all kinds of brocade and satin, colorful and gorgeous, but Luo Xue was dressed in plain clothes, and her style was also very ordinary, which overshadowed the whole person, and only her calm, elegant and generous temperament did not lose the face of Luofu.
Seeing that there should be all the people, a small servant shouted "Miss Li is here" At this time, a woman walked through the path between the flowers and walked towards this side:
"It's all too late for Wushuang, so you have been waiting for a long time, Wushuang is here to compensate everyone."
I saw that this woman was dressed in a bright red dress, her eyebrows were like distant daisies, her eyes were like peach blossoms, her cheeks were blushing, and her lips were lightly opened.
Presumably this is Li Wushuang, the eldest daughter of Li Shangshu's mansion, it is rumored that she is fifteen years old this year, and she is already known as the first beauty in Zhao Kingdom, although Luo Xue is not keen on the praise of these women's boudoirs, but she has also heard of it in the past few years.
Now I see that Li Wushuang is really beautiful. I saw her move lightly and sit down at the main seat of the banquet table, and then she looked at the young ladies sitting on the table again and said a kind word, announcing the start of the flower banquet.
The flower banquet was carried out unhurriedly according to the process, and it was almost time for the talent show, and the emperor of Zhao State really came.
Behind him, Li Shangshu and Mrs. Li were also followed, and everyone knelt down to greet this Ninety-Five, but Luo Xue was secretly looking at him, this emperor of Zhao was named Zhao Chande, who ascended the throne at the age of 20.
And Zhao Chande has always been up and down in the power and politics of the big things, there are a few concubines, but the middle palace has been empty, Zhao Chande has been in politics for five years, twenty-five years old, and now the situation in Zhao has stabilized, the queen mother intends to expand the harem for him.
Even if there is no Mid-Autumn Festival flower banquet in Li Shangshu's mansion today, the Queen Mother will set up another banquet soon, presumably Li Shangshu also knew in advance about the upcoming election, so there is an invitation to the Mid-Autumn Festival flower banquet.
All the young ladies and sons of the nobles were invited, and whoever the emperor fancied was naturally a blessing to him, and he did not fall behind outsiders, but he was full of confidence in his daughter, and he was naturally selfish.
I saw Zhao Chande wearing a dark purple regular clothes, and the leader of the clothes was a nine-clawed golden dragon embroidered with gold and silver threads, and his face was handsome and extraordinary.
"Today is a courtier's family banquet, there are not many rules in the palace, so you don't need to be polite, get up. With a wave of his sleeve, he motioned for everyone to get up.
Li Wushuang had already hurriedly given up his main seat: "The little girl doesn't know that Your Majesty is coming, if there is any rudeness, please also ask Your Majesty Haihan, please take a seat"
Li Wushuang got together, and immediately a servant stepped forward to change the tea and fruit snacks on the low table in front of him. I saw Zhao Chande smile heartily, waved his hand indifferently, walked to the main seat and sat down
"I also heard Li Aiqing say that many young ladies in the garden are showing their talents, so I was curious to come and see, of course Miss Li is not guilty, don't take it to heart"
Seeing that the emperor was seated, everyone took their seats one after another, and a servant brought another table and chair, and Li Wushuang sat down under Zhao Chande's side, with an elegant posture and decent manners.
She presided over the entire Mid-Autumn Festival flower banquet, which was very perfect. For the talent display of the ladies at the flower banquet, Zhao Chande had no intention of watching, his eyes stayed on Li Wushuang from time to time, thinking that Li Wushuang had obtained his green eyes both in terms of beauty and ability, and the harem really needed such a generous and decent queen.
Seeing that the matter had basically come to an end, Luo Xue was about to get up and leave, when Luo Tiancheng ran over. "Sister, I heard that there is a pond of autumn lotus in the back garden of Li Shangshu's mansion, it is very rare, this kind of lotus can bloom in autumn, I really want to go and see it, you can go with me"
Luo Xue saw that he was full of interest, and she couldn't bear to spoil his interest, so she followed him to the back garden of the Li Mansion, only to see that there was indeed a pond that was not small.
There are golden lotus flowers blooming in groups of three or five inside, which are beautiful, Luo Xue has never seen them bloom in this season, and they are still lotus flowers of this color, and the corners of her lips are also swaying a smile.
Luo Tiancheng said excitedly, "Sister, you see there is a rockery in the pool over there, it looks very fun, let's go over and have fun."
"The little young master used to be introverted. It's rare to have such a child appearance today" Jin Lan looked at Luo Tiancheng who was full of anticipation, and smiled with Luo Xue.
Luo Xue nodded, remembering that Luo Tiancheng studied all day long in the house, and it was difficult to go out, and it was not easy to go out today, so it was not easy to have a little fun, so according to him, the three of them got on a small boat by the pool and rowed to the rockery in the pool.
On the ground of the rockery, the three of them found that there was a hole here, and the rockery outside was flowing water, printed with a pool of golden lotus, which looked beautiful.
On the ground in the middle, only to find some taste of paradise, the original space in the rockery is very large, there are three or two small caves, the layout is very exquisite. The tables and chairs, the tea collapse, the melon and fruit snacks, the light gauze curtains, are wonderful.
Luo Tiancheng wowed excitedly, and hurriedly went to the low table next to the tea collapse, ate the small snacks on it, and motioned for Luo Xue and Jin Lan to go over and eat some.
Seeing that she was reserved and didn't move, she ran around and dragged the two of them to sit down by the dim sum again, and stuffed a piece in Luo Xue and Jin Lan's hands, "Sister, you can taste it." This one is super tasty, even better than what you have in your house."
Hearing him say this, Jin Lan really tasted a few pieces, and was not surprised, "There should be some sweet pulp in it, and it tastes really good." Miss, wait for the slave to go back. I'll make you this flavor of dim sum in the future. ”
"Yes, no wonder my mother told me she wanted to come and play in this back garden. It turns out that there is such a fun place."
Luo Xue just put the snack in her mouth fell to the ground: "Who did you just say asked you to come here?"
Luo Tiancheng's eyes were a little cold when he looked at Luo Xue, and he snorted, "I... Mother..."Luo Xue quickly slapped the pastry in Jin Lan's hand, and said coldly, "Let's play here today, let's go back"
Jin Lan agreed, wiped her hands, and was about to go back with Luo Xue, but suddenly her feet were weak and she collapsed to the ground: "Miss, slave, slave is a little dizzy"
At this time, Luo Tiancheng also muttered a little confused: "Sister, I'm also sleepy, let's rest here for a while" said that he actually tilted his little head and fell asleep on the tea floor!
Luo Xue had more and more bad premonitions in her heart, and she just wanted to leave here quickly, but at this time, Jin Lan couldn't walk, but Luo Xue was extremely powerful, rolled up her sleeves, and carried Jin Lan on the boat under Jin Lan's surprised gaze, and hugged Luo Tiancheng over and put it away.
After rowing the boat ashore, I looked left and right, and I couldn't find a helper, so I had to put Jin Lan and Luo Tiancheng on the shore, and advised: "I'll call someone, you must wait for me and stay awake." ”
After speaking, Luo Xue hurriedly looked for servants along the backyard, and after walking for a while, she finally saw a maid who looked like a maid sweeping the fallen leaves by the walkway, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for help
"I am the slave maid in the Prime Minister Luo Guozhong's mansion, my name is Jin Lan, my young lady and young master fainted on the edge of the lotus pond in the back garden, please help me carry them out so that I can go back to the house to find a doctor to heal."
The maid saw her report to the door and hurriedly said, "Miss Jinlan, don't worry, your young lady and young master have fainted, I may not be able to use my strength, I'll call you a few little guys, you are waiting for me here." With that, he ran away
