"Take it. You are always my servant girl, but you can't lose the face of the palace." Qi Jiao said, to Chunmei, the gold hairpin inserted in Chunmei's head.
With red eyes, Chunmei reached for the golden hairpin.
It's not gilded, it's not hollow, it's a real gold hairpin, or the hairpin the princess gave her. She will cherish it and repay her kindness in the future.
Chunmei touched her tears and gently pushed Qi Jiao to the dressing table: "princess, you have to dress up well for the prince's banquet tonight. Don't let others steal the limelight."
Qi Jiao said with a smile: "you are such a girl. Who dares to steal my limelight?"
Chunmei picked up the comb and combed Qi Jiao's hair. She said, "I don't know what Wang Ye thought. It's clearly a banquet for Shizi Ye. Why invite Miss Feng?"
It turns out that Chunmei refers to this. Feng Tingting is her sister. It's normal for Wang Ye to ask her. What's more, when she's not in good health, it's also Tingting's way of food and clothing. Qi Jiao smiles faintly and doesn't take it to heart: "Chunmei, are you a girl, where did you hear some gossip?"
"Princess, your mind is too simple. I can't listen to those little girls in the house Chunmei continued: "you don't know what those little girls say. They all say that Miss Feng, who is staying in our palace, has a crush on the prince and wants the position of the concubine."
"Poof Chi," Qi Jiao laughed.
"You listen to those little girls chew their tongue. Do you believe that? Tingting stayed in the palace, but she didn't want to leave me, so she wanted to accompany me more! " To tell you the truth, over the years, many people have come to the palace to propose marriage to Feng Tingting, but Tingting says that she wants to spend more years with her. Qi Jiao naturally has no doubt about the relationship between the two sisters for so many years.
Looking at the princess's relieved appearance, Chunmei began to hold injustice for Qijiao again: "princess, there are some things, Chunmei wants to remind you, once you listen, don't be angry."
Looking at the girl's serious appearance, isn't it what to say? Qi Jiao said with a smile: "you say it, I won't be angry."
"Princess, there is no wind but no fire. The little girls in this house must have a basis for saying that. Chunmei thinks that since the princess is deeply in love with Miss Feng, it's better to find a good marriage for her in Shunjing." Chun Mei paused for a moment and continued: "this Shunjing is so big, and Miss Feng must have a good look at it. Since then, Miss Feng has found a good home. She can still accompany the princess. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
Listen to Chunmei so say, really wake up Qijiao, in the past are those people to the palace, how she did not ask, Tingting has a sweetheart? Maybe, it's really possible to promote this good marriage.
After Chunmei changed her clothes for Qijiao, they went to the back garden.
Before it was dark, lanterns were lit in the palace.
There is no custom of Lantern Festival in Ningling state. Bai Yuting deliberately ordered the housekeeper to buy unique lanterns in Shunjing city. There are many kinds of lanterns, such as goldfish lanterns and lotus lanterns. The most lovely one is rabbit lanterns.
Qi Jiao changed her clothes and sat on the left side of the pavilion in the back garden. Chunmei went to ask Shizi to go. Not long after Bai Yuting arrived, Qi Yang came.
It's the first time I came to Dashun at this time. I didn't expect that the lanterns in Dashun were so beautiful. Qi Yang couldn't open his eyes.
As soon as I got to my seat, I heard the sound of the piano. Then, eight women appeared in front of me. All of them were beautiful women with veils and dancing slowly with the sound of the piano.
Although sewing in winter, but those women are wearing summer gauze skirt, dancing on the lantern platform, just like the fairy in the middle of the month.
There is also a lotus lamp in the middle. When the other eight women finish dancing, the petals of the lotus lamp open one by one. A woman with long hair like a waterfall appears in the lotus lamp wearing a red dress.
That woman, is Feng Tingting, wearing a red tight gauze skirt, but also set off her exquisite body, dancing in the lotus lamp, light like a butterfly on a flower.
Qi Yang did not expect that Feng Tingting had such dancing skills. After the dance, the waiting bodyguard quickly handed the prepared cloak to Feng Tingting.
Seeing that Feng Tingting's face turns red with cold, Qi Jiao quickly asks Chunmei to invite her to the pavilion. Feng Tingting is wrapped in a cloak, and the whole person is shivering with cold, but Qi Jiao is distressed.
"Sister, you're just sick. Why do you dance with them?" Qi Jiao's eyebrows and eyes were worried: "if your body is broken, it's not to worry your sister!"
Feng Tingting raised her eyes and looked at Qi Jiao with a smile: "elder sister, I'm not happy. My son has come to Dashun from Ningling. I don't want to make him happy."
"Shizi, are you happy today?" Feng Tingting smiles and turns to look at Qi Yang.
Qi Yang drank a glass of wine and said, "happy, happy, of course happy."
Several people are happy. The bodyguard of the guard at the door comes to report that the housekeeper pan Ling is visiting.
Bai Yuting frowned and was about to open her mouth, but Qi Jiao opened her mouth first: "Lord, I invited pan Ling. Didn't the LORD say that Pan Ling can be made? I thought, take this opportunity to let the Lord test him?"
In front of Qi Yang's face, white jade court is also not good attack, can only face guard mouth: "let him in."
The housekeeper, pan Ling, is a polite scholar, tall and handsome. He is brought to the back garden by the bodyguard.
Pan Linggang wanted to salute the white jade court, and the white jade court waved: "outside the court, there is no need to be polite."
The guards moved a short table and put it opposite Feng Tingting and Qi Jiao. Bai Yuting and Qi Yang sat in the middle of the pavilion.
After a while, the short table was filled with fruits and meals. As soon as pan Ling sat down, he saw a woman in red on the opposite side. Her eyes were staring at him. Pan Ling blushed and immediately lowered her head.
The scene of Pan Ling is seen by Qi Jiao. Pan Ling, a young man, has been competent as a minister of the household. He is dedicated to serving the imperial court. His family has not married yet, but he looks very polite and handsome. Does Tingting mean that she is also interested in him?
Qi Jiao has a bottom in her heart. Today she invites pan Ling to come here to see their respective attitudes. Now it seems that her idea is quite good.
