The setting sun is fading, the clouds are all over the sky, the sun is no longer hot, but the air is more sultry than at noon. Yangxin lake, lotus leaf swaying, from time to time blowing a few wisps of wind, but not cool, hot and humid wind blowing people more uncomfortable. Along the lakeside, the two figures walked slowly towards Xixia palace, which was a little difficult.
After drinking that bowl of medicine, the abdomen has been dull pain, Qingfeng rely on the support of Poria cocos, can continue to move forward. Knowing that tonight's banquet is probably aimed at her, Qingfeng decides to go. She wanted to see what tricks the Empress Dowager could play and what kind of powerful character the princess Chaoyun was.
In such a hot day, Qingfeng held her hand but it was getting colder and colder. Poria looked at Qingfeng, who was still pale with makeup on his side. He was worried and urged: "master, go to the front Pavilion and rest."
Qingfeng looked up and saw that there was indeed a small pavilion by the swaying lake of Xiahe, but she had to go through the zigzag bridge to get there, and she would soon go to Xixia palace. When Qingfeng was still hesitating, his eyes were attracted by the woman who came face to face. She was dressed in a light purple Palace Dress with silver tassels on her waist. The golden step swayed gently with her elegant steps. Looking from afar, it was like a picture of a lady. The quiet and noble temperament was amazing. The green maple sighed darkly. It was a beautiful woman.
Along the Blue Maple's line of vision to see, see people, tuckahoe slightly frown, whispered in her ear: "master, that is the princess Hui."
Is she Princess Hui? It's a beautiful lady with water and jade carvings. There is such a beauty in the palace. No wonder Xin Yuening is jealous and Yan Hongtian is spoiled. When Qingfeng looks at Zhen Zhen Zhen, Zhen Zhen also notices her not far away. Mo FA hangs behind her with a light knee. Her slender figure is outlined in a blue long dress falling to the ground. She stands like a cloud in the sky, gathering and dispersing with the wind, floating and unpredictable.
The eyes of the two men are right. Zhen Zhen Zhen's heart is frightened. His eyes are clear, sharp, cold and clear. It's a long time since he saw such eyes in the palace. No wonder the emperor looks at her differently. Concealing the surprise and slight uneasiness in his eyes, Zhen Zhen Zhen nodded and smiled at Qingfeng. Qingfeng was stunned and smiled back.
"Both sisters are going to Xixia palace for dinner?" Before they had time to exchange greetings, a female voice with a smile suddenly sounded behind them. Looking back, Xin Yuening, in a gorgeous suit, was smiling at them.
They looked at each other and saluted, "good night to the empress." Qingfeng sees a hint of intolerance in Zhen Zhen's eyes. It seems that the two have a deep grudge.
"Two sisters don't have to be polite." Mouth said so, xinyuening only reached out to hold up the green maple, soft voice asked: "sister recently body can be better?"
Zhen Zhen Yingying gets up. It seems that he has been used to Xin Yuening's difficulties for a long time. Qingfeng is very interested in the empress huifei, who is used to the imperial palace. He pays close attention to her and takes back the hand held by xinyuening. He replies: "thank you for your concern. It's OK."
The wind by the lake is a little strong. The scarf on the neck of green maple is flying with the wind. Most of the women in the harem are sensitive. They can't let go of any trace, let alone the little red that can't be covered between the neck and neck of the green maple. The bright eyes like Zhen Zhen Zhen Zhen's water flash slightly. Although they soon recover calm, Xin Yuening still sees them.
Zhen Zhen, you also have today. You've finally tasted the taste of a good night spent alone in an empty room! Xin Yuening, who was in a good mood, pretended to help her arrange the silk scarves, while laughing: "the emperor is really right, my sister is just getting better, and I don't know how to be more considerate."
This strange tone of voice heard Qingfeng's eyebrows locked. The queen was using her to stimulate huifei? Is there nothing else for the women in the palace to do? Small abdomen more and more painful, green maple also don't want to be involved in their boring quarrel, simply shut up and don't talk. Qingfeng's silence is abnormal. Zhen Zhen is just standing by with a smile. No one answered her words. Xin Yuening felt bored and said, "it's getting late. Let's go with our sisters." Hum, Zhen Zhen, I want to see it. How long can you bear it!
"Yes."
The three of them came to Xixia palace all the way speechless. When they entered the palace, Qingfeng knew that Yan Hongtian had many women. There were more than 20 women waiting there in such a big house. They were all beautiful. Those who are qualified to come to the banquet have been dazzled by the green maple. How many are not qualified to go to the banquet. Green maple is cold hum, Yan Hongtian is lucky.
When they saw the arrival of the queen, they asked for a salute, but their eyes were all on Qingfeng, especially those women who had been in the palace for many years, but were still only beautiful and talented, and almost opened a hole in Qingfeng. Qingfeng is not afraid of them, but just impatient. There are so many women in the palace. They never rank on talent. They just serve people by color. There is nothing worth fighting for.
"The Empress Dowager arrived." After a shout, a little fat woman in her fifties came into the house with the help of Mammy.
"Empress Dowager Wan Fu Jin'an."
"Get up." The gentle voice sounds very kind. Qingfeng looks up at the top leader. The woman is wearing a long purple dress and simple headdress. She looks very simple and has a warm smile. Is she the queen mother? Qingfeng was a little surprised. The queen Dowager and her guess were not the same. Qingfeng secretly observed that the Empress Dowager suddenly looked at her and shivered at those smiling eyes. After seeing her for a long time, Empress Dowager Xi didn't make trouble for her. She said with a smile, "today is the first day of the new year. Abbess Xiuyun temple has prepared a vegetarian room for the mourner. The mourner specially invites you to have a taste and make a wide Buddhist connection."
"Thank you for the banquet."
"Take your seats." The queen naturally sat on the right side of the empress dowager, whispering to her from time to time, while Princess Hui sat in the next row, deliberately avoiding the position of being equal to the queen.
Qingfeng's abdominal pain is unbearable. He doesn't have the heart to observe others. He goes to the back and sits down. After waiting for her to sit down, she found that many women came to her back and sat down. There were only six or seven people who dared to sit in front of her. She now understood why she was envied.
An old mother came in and whispered a few words in Yang Zhilan's ear. Yang Zhilan's mouth was light and he said with a smile, "today, the mourning family has invited a distinguished guest."
Everyone secretly guessed, who is the person who can make empress dowager Xi be a distinguished guest? Before they could wait long, the old mother led a woman into the palace.
The woman is tall and has a clear face, but there are two scars on her cheek. Everyone's eyes linger between Qingfeng and the woman, and they instantly understand the identity of the woman.
Elder sister? Seeing the heart of the woman's appearance, Qingfeng suddenly mentioned the voice and eyes, and the hand holding the tea cup was tight. Why did the elder sister enter the palace? It turned out that this banquet was not aimed at her, but Elder sister?
Receiving the surprised sight of Qingfeng, Zhuo Qing looked in her direction, first in a daze, then returned to her with a smile of a little peace. The calm and confident smile made the heart mentioned by Qingfeng a little more stable.
"Are you Qingling?" The inquiry uploaded by the host interrupted the eye contact between the two people, and Zhuo Qing replied generously, "yes."
"Come, come to the mourner." Zhuo Qing walked to her side generously, and Yang Zhilan began to look up and down at her, holding her hand when she was about to get goose bumps, and smiled: "Lou Xiang's eyes are really good, and she is really a smart girl. It's a good name to get, just like its name, don't you think? "
The people who held their breath all the time finally breathed a long breath. The story that Lou Xiang wanted to marry Qingling was widely spread in the palace. On the one hand, the empress dowager, and on the other hand, the future Prime Minister's wife may be. None of them wanted to offend. Now it seems that the Empress Dowager doesn't want to have a bad relationship with Qingling. People naturally praise Zhuoqing according to the Empress Dowager's words.
"Ling'er, please sit by the mourner's side. When you have arrived, pass on your meal." Say, still really arrange her to her left hand side, and queen far away.
After a while, the dishes were also on the table. Qingfeng was not in the mood to eat them. The Empress Dowager called her eldest sister and her to Xixia palace. What was her intention?
The exquisite food is not only hard for Qingfeng, but also for Zhuoqing. At this time, someone asked with a smile, "what's the entertainment for Qingmei on weekdays?"
Entertainment? "Autopsy."
Zhuo Qing coldly throws out a word, for a time the hall is dead and quiet.
Cough
Qingfeng was choked by the tea. She couldn't stop laughing. How dare she say! The eldest sister is kind-hearted. She likes to take care of the injured animals and read books. She believes in studying some medical skills by herself. But she doesn't believe that her elder sister dissects the body on the main hall. Although the people in the palace say it clearly, Qingfeng still doesn't believe it.
At the Palace Banquet, Qingfeng was taken away by Yan Hongtian '.
In contrast, the Empress Dowager was obviously more calm. Her hand was only a slight pause, and her face was still a friendly smile. She said, "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, so I must miss her very much. It's better for ling'er to live in the palace for a few days, and the two sisters are easy to talk."
Zhuo Qing didn't have time to say no, but Qingfeng took a step faster than her and said, "thanks for the grace of Empress Dowager. The wedding is coming soon. My elder sister must have a lot of things to prepare. Besides, it's not good for my wife who is an important official to go in and out of the palace at will." Even if Yan Hongtian didn't know what else she had in mind about her sister, Princess Chaoyun would not give up. The Empress Dowager must have had some plans to do so. She could never let her eldest sister into the palace.
The wedding is coming? Is it time to prepare for the wedding? The Empress Dowager and the emperor agreed?
