Chapter 210 The Greedy Sixth Prince
Chen Qingyun is now indifferent to such a banquet. He doesn’t seek excellence, but just wants to avoid making mistakes.
Yicui chose a few sets of spring shirts in advance. Although she had to dress plainly, she should not be too polite to go to the palace to attend a banquet.
Chen Qingyun took a fancy to a new set of new ones. The upper body was a plain white double-breasted jacket, the overlapping collar was embroidered with lilac silk thread, the lower body was a lilac waist-length wide hem skirt, and a light gauze embroidered sleeves. The plain white body was covered with a faint purple, which was a unique elegant color.
Pearl walked in, her eyes lit up, and she was holding a wooden box in her hand.
Yi Cui now recognizes this sandalwood box, and she smiled and asked, "But what did Prince Li send him?"
Pearl nodded suddenly. After the prince came back from the border, he began to see the good ones and sent them to the Duke's Mansion: "The lady and the prince are really in tune with each other."
As she said that, she opened the wooden box and found a purple jade bracelet inside, which was transparent and eye-catching. She wore it on Shen Qingyunhao's wrist, which further highlighted her white skin and slender and charming hands.
Even when Zhenzhu and Yicui looked at it, they couldn't help but stagger. No wonder they heard that someone fell in love with her only hands.
Chen Qingyun smiled, took off the bracelet and put it in place.
Although she believed that the two of them would not talk nonsense, she heard Si Moli's intention that Beili Kingdom would probably send someone to sign the documents of the two countries again, so she still reminded them again: "For some special reasons, no matter who we see in the future, we should not mention that there were Han Yu and Han Feng two secret guards around me. Do you understand?"
Although Pearl didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this, she still nodded obediently.
However, Yi Cui's expression suddenly became a little stunned. She couldn't help but ask, "Miss, is it that something happened to them?"
Chen Qingyun shook her head: "No, but their identities are special, just in case."
Suddenly, when she heard Han Yu's name, Yi Cui's heart seemed to be hit by a wooden stake, and it was so painful. She didn't ask again, but suddenly she seemed a little absent-minded.
Chen Qingyun glanced at her, and without saying much, signaling the two of them to retreat. He took out his pen and wrote a poem intently. His thoughts turned between strokes and strokes, and finally paused on the rice paper with a stroke.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the spring banquet was the day. The noble girls invited by Kyoto were all cleaned up early in the morning and entered the palace one after another.
The imperial concubine smiled and arranged Lin Xueying to sit beside her. Her words made many noble girls secretly envious.
Chen Qingyun's location was arranged next to Ji Qianxue. Both of them were happy when they saw this.
"Qingyun, you are here too. Today's outfit is so elegant." Ji Qianxue smiled and said hello first.
"In terms of elegance, who can compare with you, Qianxue, is like a fairy on the scroll." Chen Qingyun praised without hesitation, which made Ji Qianxue smile even more.
This statement comes entirely from the sincerity. Ji Qianxue was raised by the Grand Tutor and grew up. She had a lazy and delicate spirit in her book. Although she grew up in Kyoto, she had the graceful beauty of a Jiangnan woman, which made people feel pity.
Chen Qingyun's temperament is even more cold and alien, calm and noble. Sitting with Ji Qianxue really has its own pleasing features.
The sixth prince Si Mingxuan stood in the dark, looked at Ji Qianxue and Chen Qingyun, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He asked his confidant eunuch beside him: "Look at which one is more suitable to be the concubine of this prince."
The eunuch's eyes turned, and when he saw the sixth prince's embarrassment, he smiled and said softly: "I see that Miss Ji and Miss Shen each have their own styles. Moreover, Miss Ji is the Grand Tutor behind him, and Miss Chen is the Old General Han behind him, and each literary and military complements each other. Therefore, the concubine may not have to choose one of them. It is their blessing to be favored by His Highness."
This is simply to Si Mingxuan's heart.
"Yes, the queen of mother also thinks that these two women have their own strengths, so she took advantage of the arrangement today to take a closer look. Now it seems that it is really difficult to choose." His eyes darkened. Anyway, the world is his in the future, and the 3,000 beauties in the harem can naturally be filled in advance.
Especially when Lin Xueying's face was not so outstanding when she saw Ji Qianxue and Shen Qingyun.
When the sixth prince Si Mingxuan thought of this, he felt unwilling to accept it. Why didn’t he point Ji Qianxue to himself at the beginning? In terms of family background, although both of them were daughters of high families, they were both good-looking and talented.
He has always felt that the emperor was really too partial. It would be fine if Si Moli was the emperor's son. Why was his concubine not as good as the third brother? Fortunately, it is different now, everything is his!
So he whispered to the eunuch beside him: "Arrang to let me see Ji Qianxue first later."
"Yes, the sixth prince, I'll make arrangements now." The eunuch understood and stepped back.
On the other hand, the emperor was also asking about the situation of today's spring banquet. After the eunuch found out the news, he reported: "Emperor, Miss Ji and Miss Shen are both here today."
The emperor nodded: "Where is Mo Li?"
"The news that the imperial concubine is preparing to see Miss Chen as her concubine has been passed. Prince Li is already on the way to the palace and I believe she will arrive soon."
"Very good, you can pinch time and let Mo Li and Ji Qianxue come into contact and see how he reacts." The emperor leaned on the back of the chair tiredly, waved his hand to signal to retreat.
"I'll do it now." The eunuch and general manager stepped down gently, closed the hall gate in a low voice, and then left in a hurry.
During the banquet, although Chen Qingyun's expression had not changed, she still smiled and talked to Ji Qianxue with a faint smile. However, she unconsciously became alert. She could feel that the uncomfortable eyes were always on her side.
Looking around, the noble girls chatting and joking didn't notice where the gaze came from.
She thought and was distracted, and a low exclaim came from beside her. When she looked up, she found that the palace maid didn't take it firmly when she brought the snacks. A piece of snacks fell on Ji Qianxue's skirt, and a yellow oil stain was dragged out from the light pink dress, which was very conspicuous.
The remaining snacks rolled on the table, but fortunately they didn't fall off, otherwise Chen Qingyun's dress would have been dirty.
The palace maid was so scared that her face was pale, and she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "I didn't mean it. Who tripped me just now."
She looked around blankly, but there was no evidence.
The imperial concubine walked over with an unhappy expression: "What's going on? She's so fucked. Just drag it down and hit the top twenty boards first!"
"Grandmaster, please spare me!" The palace maid looked panicked, but was still taken down.
The imperial concubine turned her head and comforted Ji Qianxue with apologetic expression, "Look, such a beautiful dress has stained it. I have a spring coat newly sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the palace. Miss Ji can change it first."
Ji Qianxue frowned slightly, thought for a while, but did not plead for the palace maid, but said, "The little girl is grateful for her kindness, but the little girl wears the queen's dress and is not in accordance with the rules. She sent someone to the palace gate to get a spare."
After thinking about it, she paused and her face felt a little shy: "It's just that I'm a little uneasy, can Qingyun accompany me?"
An unknown look flashed in the imperial concubine's eyes, and she smiled and joked: "Why bother Miss Chen? Miss Ji, please rest assured. I will send someone to follow me and I will not lose it."
