In the twinkling of an eye, it was November 28, the day of enjoying chrysanthemum banquet in the Duke of en. On this day, the sky was beautiful, and the sunshine was just right.
As soon as Nangong Yue finished his breakfast, magpie asked her servant girl to come with two pots of chrysanthemums and said, "princess, look, I've chosen one from the three pots of" golden back scarlet. ". Although the "golden back scarlet" is indeed very rich, the maid thinks that this pot of "Zuo Fei Xian Zi" is somewhat refined, and also has the appearance of chrysanthemum king. Which pot do you think we should take? "
The two pots of chrysanthemums selected by queer are really good. The pot on the left is in full bloom, and the six flowers on the plant are in full bloom. The red petal surface forms a strong contrast with the golden back. It seems that it is eye-catching, but the top one is the main one, and the other five are like the stars and the moon, which can be described as primary and secondary; the basin on the right is "left Princess Fairy" in white Transparent green, white as white as white jade, green as green as jade to drop, the thick petals and filaments of the group to embrace up, showing elegance.
Nangong Yue didn't intend to win any chrysanthemum King either. He just went to join in the party and said casually, "take the 'golden back scarlet'
Magpie son smiles to answer a way: "the son imperial concubine said is, or" gold back big red "happy
At this time, Baihui also came in and reported: "princess, zhulun car is ready. Do you want to start now?"
Nangong Yue saw that the time was almost over, so he dressed up and took several servant girls to the second gate. After a quarter of an hour, Zhu lunche set out from the palace.
When she set out, it was just at that time, but when her zhulun car arrived at Kangping street, where the mansion was located, the gate of the mansion was already overcrowded. From a distance, the carriages of the houses on the street had lined up.
Today, the banquet guests in the eunuch's mansion invited all the nobles, ministers and their families. Therefore, from a glance, all the carriages are noble and extraordinary.
Because the emperor seems to want to make the fifth Prince the crown prince, as the mother's family of the five princes, the official of the state of en naturally went up, and no one who got the chrysanthemum card did not give face.
Lily took a look at the curtain and talked about the lively situation outside. Her witty words made the atmosphere in the carriage very relaxed and happy.
However, they didn't wait too long. One of the stewardesses, who was waiting outside the mansion, recognized nangongyue's zhulun car with sharp eyes. She quickly met him and said to the coachman, "this little brother, is this the imperial concubine's car? Please follow me
Lily pick curtain secretly stuffed a purse to the steward Mammy, smiling and chanting: "it's really troublesome Mammy."
The steward took it quietly and said with a smile, "no trouble, no trouble. It's my honor to serve the princess." Said she attentively leads the south palace Yue's Zhu wheel car from the corner gate advanced house.
The other carriages waiting to enter the mansion naturally noticed this, but they didn't dare to say anything more. After all, nangongyue was the son and concubine of the royal family. She was deeply loved by the empress and had a very close relationship with the eunuch government. It was not unreasonable for her to be introduced into the mansion first.
Even if there are opinions, they can only complain in private, such as this girl Zhang. Seeing nangongyue's zhulunche disappear at the corner gate, Zhang Yiba angrily put down the curtain beside the window and said angrily, "grandmother, the government of the state of grace is too contemptuous. You have given them enough face to attend the chrysanthemum feast in person. It's really too much to let the later generations of nangongyue's son and concubine live in the house instead of welcoming you in person."
"Sister Ebara, don't get angry because of such a small matter. You are really too depressed to be angry. You are really a Zhangjia girl." Mrs. Zhang, who was in the same carriage, said sternly, but looked at Zhang Ebara lovingly.
The most proud thing about old Zhang's life is the birth of two good daughters. Although the eldest daughter can only commit herself to be a concubine at the beginning, she is a great fortune. Now that she ascends the throne, her eldest daughter will be glorified all the way, giving birth to three princesses, once ranking high as the imperial concubine Although he is now a concubine of Zhang, he believes that it will be sooner or later to be promoted to a royal concubine with the skill of the eldest daughter!
As for the second daughter, she is also a capable woman. She was married by the Duke of Qu at that time and now the Marquis of Pingyang. She married her husband and became his wife's wife.
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel proud that all the girls in Zhangjia belong to Wangfu. One son-in-law becomes the emperor and the other son-in-law becomes the Marquis, but
Zhang Laofu sighed in his heart. By contrast, the granddaughter of Zhang's family had a hard life. One married a long time ago, and the other died young
Thinking of the early death of the second princess, Mrs. Zhang's eyes fell on the Zhu wheel car that Nangong Yue had gone away, and a faint light flashed in her eyes.
Zhang yiebara looked at the basin of "gold back scarlet" placed on his side and calmed down. Even if Nangong Yue was advanced to the Duke of en, it would not be called scenery. It still has a long history today!
She reached out and stroked the petals of the "golden back scarlet" petals, and her eyes flashed with expectation.
On the other side, Nangong Yue, who entered the eunuch mansion, got off the carriage at the second gate.
Today, there are so many guests coming and going in the eunuch. Not everyone's carriage is qualified to enter the second gate. Most of the female family members who can enter the second gate are the women of the royal family. As for the female family members of her noble ministers, they are arranged to have a rest in a wing room in the front yard, and then the women in the mansion carry the soft sedan chair to get off the sedan chair at the second gate.He and his wife are meeting at the second gate of the palace.
Seeing Nangong Yue, Jiang Yixi quickly welcomed him with a smile: "sister Yue, you can come!" Then her eyes fell on the pot of "golden back scarlet" held in magpie's hands, and praised, "sister Yue, you are really beautiful to raise this pot of" golden back Dahong. "
"Thank you for your kind words." Nangong Yue affectionately took Jiang Yixi's hand.
Jiang Yixi, as the host of the banquet in the eunuch's mansion today, naturally dressed up carefully. She combed a hundred flowers into a Xiao bun, inserted a gold butterfly hairpin inlaid with purple gems, a bright purple burnt flower and a horse face skirt embroidered with rose red lotus flower patterns. She was dignified and beautiful.
Nangong Yue was trying to praise Jiang Yixi in a good voice, but suddenly a sharp voice came from behind him: "Miss Jiang's eyes are growing up to the top of her head. Even when the princess comes, she doesn't see a look at it and greet her."
This female voice is very familiar, as if it was Princess Qi!
Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi looked at the past together. Sure enough, Princess Qi was walking slowly towards this side, with a smile on her face and a casual look on her face. However, there was a trace of malice in their eyes, as if there was a feud between them.
Han Qixia walked awkwardly beside Princess Qi, pulled her sleeve straight, and pleaded in a low voice: "mother concubine, please say less." Han Qixia looked at Jiang Yixi apologetically and made amends for Princess Qi with her eyes.
Princess Qi shook off Han Qixia without thinking about it. She said again, "Miss Jiang..."
Before she finished her words, the wife of the prince of the state of en held back her anger and said, "sister Xi, you and Miss Han have always had a good time. Don't come and talk to Miss Han and talk about the old days..." Then she deliberately blocked Princess Qi's way and said, "princess, let their girls talk by themselves. If the princess feels that she is in a hurry, she might as well talk with you in the reception hall first." Lady Shizi reached out to make a petition.
If it was not for today's banquet in the mansion, we should never let people see the excitement. The wife of the aristocratic son almost wanted to make an order. But when I think of the situation in the court, I think of some distinguished people coming to the chrysanthemum feast today Lady Shizi could only hold her breath.
But the princess of Qi didn't know what to do with her. She deliberately found fault and said, "what about the eunuch and Madame? When Princess Ben comes, she doesn't come to meet her? "
Princess Qi is the princess of the prince. The prince is the first class among the princes, while the eunuch is the third class among the princes. In order to follow the first rank, it is not impossible for the princess of Qi to let her meet her. But how can the Duke and wife of the state of grace say that they are also the mother of the queen? Under normal circumstances, who would be stupid enough to break the Queen's face!
The wife took a deep breath and said politely but sarcastically, "well, there is no one in the house who has the same status as the princess. It is indeed a slight. I will pay attention to it in the future. Since you can't afford to welcome the princess, don't make a fat face and invite the princess to come to visit. "
Princess Qi's whole face was black, and said in a cold voice, "Madam son, what a clever mouth. Why don't you help Miss Jiang to say the next marriage? She's very old!"
Princess Qi had no enmity and hatred with the eunuch, but since the emperor almost betrothed Jiang Yixi to Han Huaijun, she had a thorn in her heart. She did not sleep for several nights. She was afraid that Jiang Yixi would marry Han Huaijun in the end. Although Jiang Yixi's children were difficult, she was born in a noble family. If Han Huaijun married her, it would be more difficult for Han Huaijun to control her!
How can she tolerate Han Zhun Jun, the son of a slut, to stand out? Isn't that a blow to her face? She wanted to find a more prominent marriage for her son. Who would have thought that Fu liuniang of yongyang family would rather marry that Nangong fool!
The more she thought about it, the more angry she was. She glared at Nangong Yue, who was standing beside her. She could not help thinking of the meaningful post she had sent back a few days ago when she sent Fang Wisteria back. At that time, she almost didn't vomit blood.
Seeing that Princess Qi's face turned blue and white for a while, his wife said with a faint smile: "it's really hard for the princess to take care of her marriage. She pays attention to fate. She can't do such things as buying and selling by force."
Lady Shizi said this with deep meaning. She was so angry that she turned blue and turned her sleeve. She went to Han Qixia, who was talking to nangongyue. She took her hand and said, "sister Xia, since the master doesn't welcome us, let's go." When the king of Qi went back to his house in the evening, she had to find the king of Qi to file a lawsuit! However, she hesitated at the thought that the king of Qi had been beaten by yongyang last time and was critical and dissatisfied with herself.
"My mother." Han Qixia cried out in a pleading voice. It's very impolite to leave just now.
As soon as Princess Qi's heart shook, she took Han Qixia and wanted to leave. At this time, two soft sedans arrived. Old lady Zhang and Zhang Ebara were coming out of the sedan. They happened to see Princess Qi pulling Han Qixia and wanted to get on the carriage.
Supported by Zhang yiebara, Mrs. Zhang went to Princess Qi with a gentle smile, saluted first, and then said affectionately, "princess, what's the matter? Why are you leaving? " She said, glancing at the wife of the prince with a glance, "but where did you neglect the princess?"The princess of Qi said with a cold face: "the temple of the Duke of the state of grace is so big that I can't climb up to it!"
"Princess, I'm so humble that I don't deserve to entertain her." Lady Shizi shook her head with a bitter smile.
However, Zhang yiebara did not focus on this, but looked at the "golden back scarlet" behind nangongyue. Unexpectedly, nangongyue's chrysanthemum was also "golden back scarlet". Moreover, her plant had six flowers, and her own plant had only five flowers. It felt like she had been forced to head.
Damn There was a flash of anger in Zhang yiebara's eyes.
Mrs. Zhang didn't notice her granddaughter's abnormality. She began to make peace with her husband with a smile: "the princess has always been gentle and approachable. There must be some misunderstanding..." Then he went to Princess raqi, "since the princess has come, how can she go like this? What kind of words can this spread out like? Walk around and give me a thin noodles. How can you stay for a meal before you leave?" Then she winked at her granddaughter Zhang yieba.
Zhang Yiba took Han Qixia's arm and said, "Miss Han, it's rare to meet her. Let's go to the garden and enjoy the chrysanthemum."
Princess Qi was worried that there were no steps. She could not help but feel relieved and went down.
Looking at their wife's wife's back, she was smiling at her husband's wife
Jiang Yixi was slightly surprised.
Zhang Jia was born as a merchant. Because one daughter was a imperial concubine and the other was Madame Hou, she was squeezed into the expensive circle. Now it seems reasonable to think of a real princess.
But is that really the case?
Nangongyue's lips are smiling, and his expression is not clear
"Princess," said Magpie in nangongyue's ear in a low voice, "I see that Zhang's house is also a pot of" gold backed scarlet. "
Nangong Yue frowned slightly. Of course, she didn't feel that her "golden back scarlet" was unique. She was also prepared to bump into flowers with other houses. However, she ran into Zhang's house, which made people feel separated.
"Lily, magpie..." Nangong Yue whispered two words in their ears.
"Sister Xi, ah Yue!"
At this time, another carriage arrived at the second gate, and Fu Yunyan got off the carriage without the help of a servant girl.
Then, Madame Fu, supported by a servant girl, also got out of the car and looked at her daughter's impetuous appearance.
Madame Shizi quickly met with a smile and met Madame Fu. Then she told Jiang Yixi to take nangongyue, Madame Fu and Fu Yunyan to the flower hall to greet his wife.
Everyone was busy greeting each other, and no one noticed that Lily and magpie walked away quietly
There are too many wives and family members who have come to greet the wife of the Duke of England today. Therefore, Nangong Yue, after seeing the wife of the Duke of grace, did not say much. A servant girl led the way to the garden to enjoy the chrysanthemum, and Jiang Yixi went to the front to welcome the guests.
The garden is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers. Although it is late autumn, the sunshine in autumn is still warm. All kinds of chrysanthemums in the garden are in full bloom. Most of them are cold chrysanthemums, some are in bud, some are in full bloom A plant, a basin, a cluster, a pile, red as fire, yellow as gold, green as jade, white as cloud Hundreds, even thousands, of chrysanthemums are surrounded by each other, competing for beauty and fragrance, which makes people dazzled.
Obviously, in order to fit the theme of today's Chrysanthemum appreciation, the government of the state of grace has made great efforts to rebuild the garden.
As soon as you enter the garden, the servant girls of the government of the state of grace come up to meet and guide the position of the Duju terrace. Today, all the chrysanthemums who participate in the competition will be put in the Duju terrace.
Madame Fu quickly told the maid to go. Fu Yunyan noticed what was missing. After looking at half a circle, she asked suspiciously, "ah Yue, where is your chrysanthemum?" She squinted and tried to remember whether nangongyue had brought chrysanthemum today.
Nangong Yue was about to answer when a familiar voice came from the front right: "Yue Er, Liu Niang..."
From a distance, she saw yuan Yuyi, wearing a scarlet dress, coming to them with a bright smile, and then saluted Madame Fu Yingying.
After two words of greetings with Yuan Yuyi, Madame Fu walked away wisely and talked to several familiar ladies.
Seeing the elder go away, Yuan Yuyi's expression became naughty. She blinked and looked at Fu Yunyan with ridicule, "why do you two have such a tacit understanding today that even their clothes are of the same color? It's not an appointment, is it? "
When she said this, Nangong Yue noticed that the clothes he and Fu Yunyan were wearing today all had chrysanthemum yellow. Nangong Yue's horse face skirt was embroidered with large yellow chrysanthemums, while Fu Yunyan was wearing chrysanthemum sticks.
This is a coincidence! Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan looked at each other, and their eyes flashed with laughter.
Fu Yunyan didn't care about yuan Yuyi's ridicule at all, and calmly said to Yuan Yuyi: "our sister-in-law has a good feeling! Cousin Yi, are you envious? " She also deliberately increased the volume on the "sister-in-law".
Yuan Yuyi shook her head helplessly, "this just ordered a kiss, call oneself aunt sister-in-law, six Niang, how don't you know to carry point? Be careful, ah Xin is scared away by you. " They are cousins who have known each other since childhood. They have no scruples about joking. In fact, she was very happy for Fu Yunyan.If the marriage is to be harmonious and beautiful, it is not only the relationship between husband and wife, but also the most important thing for mother-in-law to get along well. Lin, the mother of nangongyue and nangongxin, is naturally known by yuanyuyi. It is a person with the best temperament. Fu Yunyan will not have any dispute with his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when she marries nangongyue. Moreover, she has a good relationship with nangongyue's younger sister-in-law. So when she gets married, she doesn't have to worry too much about looking for her to play with.
Fu Yunyan's face triumphantly propped up quite not particularly plump chest, confidently said: "I am like this, ah Xin also likes me like this!"
Yuan Yuyi couldn't help her forehead. She was startled by Fu Yunyan's thick skin.
Fu Yunyan couldn't help but chuckle.
Joking, a little familiar voice suddenly came from the rear right: "three sisters!"
Nangong Lin walked quickly towards nangongyue, leaving Liu Qingqing and Nangong Yan behind two or three positions.
"Four sisters." Nangong Yue implicitly nodded to Nangong Lin.
Nangong Lin doesn't care about nangongyue's indifference. She presents gifts to Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan one by one. In her heart, she has decided that this chrysanthemum feast must follow the three sisters to death, so that she can't get along with the noble people!
Liu Qingqing and Nangong Yan soon came to see each other.
Although we have seen each other before, Fu Yunyan was not the daughter-in-law of Nangong government in the future. So this time, Liu Qingqing and their eyes when they examined Fu Yunyan took on a trace of meaningful flavor.
If this is a little girl with introverted personality, she may be a little shy, but Fu Yunyan is always open and easy-going, and she looks at them calmly.
Next, the six people would enjoy chrysanthemums everywhere at will. Liu Qingqing and Fu Yunyan will be sister-in-law in the future, and they will talk with each other warmly and intimately.
Among them, there was a prince of Zhennan, a princess of liushuang County, and Yuan Yuyi, the head of liushuang county. Therefore, people came to them from time to time to salute and talk, and they were hardly quiet for a moment When it was half past the time, the maid invited the girls in the garden to douju terrace, saying that it was time to start.
All of a sudden, like pigeons returning to their nests, they were fighting against the direction of the chrysanthemum terrace.
This is called "Dou Ju Tai". In fact, it is just a stage like high platform specially built by the government of the state of en. Under the high stage, several awnings are pulled up. Under the awning, tables and armchairs are placed to attract the female guests to their seats.
Yue Niang just sat down and asked, "who is the original judge?"
Since we want to fight chrysanthemums, we must have a judge to decide which pot is the chrysanthemum king today.
Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan looked at each other, but they completely forgot the problem. Nangong Lin looked at the opportunity, and quickly interrupted: "is it the lady of the benediction country?"
When she said this, others were all smiling.
If you want to be the judge today, either you have enough taste for flowers to impress the guests; or you have a noble status, which makes people convinced and dare not have any objection Although the Duke and wife of the state of grace are distinguished, she is not satisfied with either of the above.
On the contrary, a few people are already thinking about it. The eunuch seldom entertains people in such a high-profile way. Is it that this time that they come to Thinking about it, I can't help but look at the sky.
"County Lord, I know something about the recent review." A bright female voice suddenly came from the side, very tone seems to be quite familiar with the original Yuyi.
Yuan Yuyi was stunned, as if she had thought of something. She followed her voice in surprise and said, "cousin Zi, how can you come back No, when did you come back? " Then she looked at each other angrily, "you don't tell me when you come back Wait, you're back, don't you say... " It's just a bit of a conversation.
"Cousin Zi" in Yuan Yuyi's mouth seems to be twelve or three years old. She is not particularly beautiful, but delicate. However, she has a bright smile and a pleasant voice like oriole, but she also has a bright smile. Her eyes are bright and her expression is bright. She is wearing an orange printed pair of breast butts and a light yellow horse face skirt. She looks pretty and lively.
"Cousin Zi" chuckled and nodded: "yes! As you think, cousin Yi. " Then she said with a smile: "cousin Yan..."
Fu Yunyan also had a smile in her eyes. She probably guessed something. She turned to Nangong Yue and said, "ah Yue, this is Lu..."
Her words did not finish, was "Zi cousin" interrupted, her eyes toward the direction of the garden entrance, and said with a smile: "say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is coming."
Fu Yunyan did not know that Nangong Yue saw this "cousin Zi" for the first time in his life, but he knew her. Thinking of the identity of the other party, Nangong Yue also guessed the identity of the judge.
At this time, the female family members around also saw the visitors one after another, as if a stone fell into the water, rippling again and again.
In the direction of the entrance of the garden, the wife of the Duke of the state of en and the wife of the eldest son were personally accompanying a thin old man who was nearly 60 years old and had white hair and hair. He was wearing an apricot yellow robe. He had three claw dragons embroidered with gold thread on his chest and sleeves, and a jade crown on his head.The old man and his wife were at the front of the line. They were very familiar with each other at will.
The women's dependents whispered: "it's an Wang!"
"I didn't expect that even king an was invited to come!"
"But I don't think that the king of an has gone to the south of the Yangtze River for a few years, and has already lost his heart for Shu?"
“……”
When it comes to gossip, the women's wives are excited.
This king an was the third younger brother of the late emperor, but he always ignored the government. He only loved idle clouds, wild cranes, flowers, birds and crickets If we talk about Wen Cheng's military strategy, Wang An has not got half a cent. But when it comes to the ability of appreciating flowers and raising flowers, it is absolutely rare among all the Wangdu. At least he is one of the most powerful people, let alone Uncle Wang.
Since Wang An has both the identity and the ability of appreciation, it is really appropriate for him to be the judge of today's douju, which can definitely hold the scene.
On the one hand, some of the women present secretly admire the good intentions of the government of the state of en, and they even invite the idle king an. On the other hand, they can't help but speculate that even Wang An, who has always been idle, will stand in line? So does the meaning of king an represent the meaning of the emperor?
However, some of them knew that Wang An would never join the throne. He had no son, only a daughter. A few years ago, she even had no daughter, leaving only a granddaughter named Lu yingzi.
Wang An is absolutely an absolute weirdo recognized by Wang. How many people thought that he had no son to end his life and sent him a concubine, but he was dismissed by his saying "never force me to die".
Wang An is busy and whispers to others. Even if Princess Qi meets an elder like Wang An, she has to bow to her knees.
King an waved his hand at will! I am not a king today, but a judge. "
People in the heart of Fei, even if you say you are not a king, but you are the king!
An Wang didn't care about people's attitude at all. His attention was immediately attracted by the chrysanthemum on the stage of fighting chrysanthemum. His eyes were burning and he couldn't hide his obsession. He was worthy of being known as "three infatuates", one for flowers, two for birds and three for crickets.
An Wang walked around quickly, pointing to The three maids who followed him chanted words, as if they were remembering something.
The owners of those potted flowers were secretly pleased. But Wang an finally said, "these are not good. They are eliminated first! All of them have been moved away for me With a wave of his big arm, he eliminated most of them at once. The servant girls moved quickly with their hands and feet and removed all the chrysanthemums that had been eliminated.
In the twinkling of an eye, there are only 20 pots of chrysanthemums left on the daisy: "wearing Xiang skirt", "green clothes and red clothes", "gold back red", "Green Peony", "ten Zhang bead curtain", "left Princess Fairy", "Phoenix Zhenyu" From this point of view, all the pots and pans have their own advantages and characteristics. People under this stage don't know flowers at all. They think: this king an deserves to be "three infatuated", but he still has some insight.
Then king an asked the servants to put together several kinds of chrysanthemums of the same variety. One pot of "ten Zhang bead curtain" was eliminated from two pots, and two pots of "green cloud" were eliminated When it came to the two pots of "golden back scarlet", an Wang glanced back and forth. His eyes fell on the potted plants of six flowers in one pot. Mu Lu sighed with pity: "it's a pity that one of them has been broken..."
Under the stage, Zhang yieba's eyes flashed a touch of pride, and his heart said: that is to say, the key is to see who can laugh to the end
