Chapter 61: Enter the Palace
After everyone arrived, the old lady said happily: "The queen sent someone to send an invitation, and the three young ladies in our house have been invited, which is also a glorious thing." ”
After speaking, he asked Lin Shi: "It's just that the third girl's injury has not healed, and she can't go this time." ”
When Lin heard this, he hurriedly said: "I have asked Dr. Lin to take a look, and said that Yan'er's injury has been healed, walk carefully, pay more attention to rest, and it should be no big problem." ”
The old lady nodded: "Well, you can decide her affairs." ”
After speaking, he said to Mama Chen: "Go, ask the people from the garment shop to come into the house, and then make a few clothes for each of the young ladies to wear then." ”
Mama Chen smiled and answered, and went out to make arrangements.
Finally, the day came to go to the feast.
Xiahou Shuang started to get up early to dress up, and Green Lake combed a bun for his young lady, and brought the ruby head given by the old lady.
A little powdered skin like coagulation, eyes like spring water clear stream looking forward to, eyebrows like crescent moon teeth and red lips, a step inlaid with ruby swayed down a few strands of gold wire, swaying between walking.
Wearing a red gold woven smoke cloud coat and a flower cloud satin skirt with wisps of gold, the whole person is as bright and bright as the moonlight.
Xiahou Shuang walked to the gate of the Hou Mansion, Xiahou Yan was sitting in a carriage, Lin was admonishing, and saw Xiahou Shuang Lin said: "Miss, Yan'er's feet still need to be careful not to walk, and the maids who enter the palace can't follow, and you need to take care of them at that time." ”
Xiahou Shuang said lightly: "Please rest assured mother, I will naturally protect my sister when I go out." ”
Lin still wanted to say something, but seeing Xiahou Shuang's indifferent expression, he had to shut up, and he knew in his heart that the eldest lady was already burning high incense if she didn't fall into the well, and it was impossible to expect to help her, so she had to turn around and ask Xiahou Yan a few more words.
Xiahou Yan was impatient when she heard this, and called Hongxiu and said, "Go and urge the second sister, why is it so slow." ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiahou Jing also walked to the gate and entered the carriage with the support of the maidservant, Xiahou Yan saw it and complained: "Why did the second sister come, it makes people wait in a hurry." ”
Turning his head, he waved his hand at Lin and said, "Mother, go back." Then he commanded, "Let's go." ”
Xiahou Jing didn't care about Xiahou Yan's words, sat down beside her and asked, "Third sister, how is your injury?"
Xiahou Yan pursed her lips and said, "It's almost fine, otherwise my mother wouldn't let me go out." ”
Thinking of Lin's left and right instructions, Xiahou Yan felt bored for a while, and just went out of the door, as if she couldn't come back properly.
Xiahou Shuang looked at Xiahou Yan, thinking that she had inadvertently bumped into Dr. Lin yesterday, and asked about the third sister's injury, Dr. Lin said: "The third lady's injury is not all good, if you go out rashly for a long time, the bones will crack again, I am afraid that there will be sequelae, and it will be difficult to save the Daluo Immortals." ”
At the end, he also told himself to comfort the third lady, don't go out easily.
Hongxia came with news that in order to be able to participate in this banquet, Xiahou Yan directly forced her to die and went on a hunger strike for a day before letting the Lin family comply.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Shuang sighed in her heart: "It's still the Niangniang's flower banquet that is attractive, so that Xiahou Yan can go at the risk of being disabled." ”
Halfway through the carriage, a voice came from outside: "Is Sister Shuang inside?"
When Xiahou Shuang heard that it was Zhang Yanyu's voice, she shouted: "Stop." ”
Lifting the curtain of the car, he looked out, it was Zhang Yanyu, who stuck out her head in the carriage and looked here.
After seeing Xiahou Shuang, he said with a smile: "From a distance, it looks like a carriage in my sister's house, and sure enough, my sister is inside." ”
Next to Zhang Yanyu sat a young man in green brocade, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with sword eyebrows flying, this person was Zhang Yanyu's eldest brother Zhang Yanchong.
After seeing Xiahou Shuang, he smiled heartily and hugged his fists and said, "Sister Shuang is good." ”
Xiahou Shuang hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Brother Yanchong is good." ”
Zhang Yanyu's brother and sister often went to Hou's Mansion to play when they were children, and the two families lived not far away, Xiahoushuang often went to Zhang's Mansion to visit Zhang Yanyu, and Zhang Yanchong was no stranger.
After speaking, he asked, "Did Brother Yanchong deliberately send Sister Yanyu?"
Zhang Yanchong said: "I came to escort her on the order of my mother, and my mother was afraid that she would go to the banquet for the first time, and she would be delayed on the way. ”
"Who said that I would be delayed on the way, it wasn't because you said this in front of your mother, and my mother was not at ease. Zhang Yanyu glanced at her brother and said dissatisfiedly.
Zhang Yanchong touched his head and was not angry, and said with a hearty smile: "Yes, I am worried about you, afraid that you are lost." ”
As soon as she heard this, Zhang Yanyu didn't follow and said: "Why did my brother say this about my sister, I will go back and tell my father that the bow in his study was broken after you took it out, and it will be up to my father to punish you." ”
Zhang Yanchong thought of his father's appearance with a ring ruler, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't have spoken to my sister like this, spare me this time." ”
Zhang Yanyu saw that her brother had repeatedly asked for forgiveness, so she said triumphantly: "I'll let you go this time, if you say this next time, I'll sue my father and let him punish you." ”
Xiahou Shuang saw that the brother and sister had been fighting, and she was envious in her heart, her brother was far away at the border, and there was no one around him who could laugh and play wantonly, the relationship between the brothers and sisters of the Zhang family was so good, Uncle Zhang and aunt contributed a lot.
Uncle Zhang only has one wife, Aunt Zhang, and there are no concubines around him, so the two brothers and sisters he raised have such a carefree personality.
Xiahou Yan glanced at Xiahou Jing, who was sitting quietly in the carriage after saying hello, and saw that she was silent, so she had to shout by herself: "Eldest sister, if you don't leave, it's too late." ”
Following Xiahou Shuang's instructions, the carriage creaked and walked in the direction of the palace.
When they arrived at the Zhengyang Gate of the palace, several carriages had already been parked, and the Praetorian Guards glanced at the invitation and let a few people in.
Zhang Yanchong also wanted to attend the flower banquet of the Red Queen, so he was with everyone.
When he was halfway through the long corridor, Xia Houjing asked with concern, "Third sister, are your feet okay?"
Everyone stopped when they heard this, and Xiahou Shuang looked at it with a faint expression.
Xiahou Yan's feet ached faintly, and she looked up just to see Xiahou Shuang's gaze, and said secretly: You must not let her see the joke.
Shaking his head slightly at Xiahou Jing: "It's okay." ”
When they heard this, they did not stop but continued to walk forward.
The eunuch at Yongding Gate was waiting early, and saw a few people greet him and guide them all the way to the Imperial Garden.
There have been a lot of ladies from various provinces, Tong Yingxuan and Wang Shuwan saw Xiahou Shuang and a few people, and moved Lianbu over to greet each other.
Everyone waited for a while, and Queen Chen and many palace concubines came.
