Chapter 505 Come here, smash this ax to me!
Hua Qianqian, who was lying on the couch, listened to the two girls laughing, looked at the sky and curled her lips slightly.
It is really hard to say that fate is clear. Who would have thought that Qiu Shuang and Ah Mo would fall in love with each other?
How great would it be if all the lovers in this world could finally get married!
Unfortunately, her prayers were useless. The next day, Marquis Cheng came to Li's house and retired the marriage between Cheng Li's families.
Marquis Cheng didn't say anything, but Hua Qianqian read a deep disappointment from his eyes.
Cheng Yu was not as easy to talk to as Marquis Cheng. He pulled Li Yuanbang to the backyard and fought, and beat Li Yuanbang's face to the point of purple.
It was Bai Suniang who rushed over to stop Li Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu gave up.
In the past few days, Hua Qianqian has been with Cheng Zhen as she and Li Yuan said, either in the palace or in the Cheng Mansion.
Fortunately, Cheng Zhen was not as fragile as she thought. She did not eat or drink, but practiced swords with Marquis Cheng all day long, and her martial arts became much more refined.
Not long after, the day of the celebration banquet came. Just like during a winter hunting banquet, the king and his ministers rode in a carriage and drove towards the west mountain in a mighty manner.
Hua Qianqian, sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the scenery along the road. This time she came to Xishan again was very different from what she was half a year ago.
At that time, Ayuan was her serious cousin!
At that time, she was still thinking about how to deal with Yue Annian.
At that time, Zhen'er and her second cousin were still happy enemies...
She turned her head and looked behind the car, and was about to see Li Yuanbang handing the water bag to Bai Suniang in the carriage behind her.
Seeing that the second cousin took care of the mother and the two of them in every detail, Hua Qianqian sighed. If Zhen'er saw this scene, she would be sad again.
Bai Suniang took the water bag, thanked her gently, and then lowered the curtain.
Xiaotong saw Li Yuanbang urging his horse to walk away through the gap in the car curtain, and leaned in Bai Suniang's ear and whispered:
"Mom, Uncle Abang is so sick, you shouldn't marry him anymore. Let's stay away from the house to take care of him, okay?"
Bai Su Niang frowned and said, "What's wrong with you these two days? Why did you mention this again? Didn't you hope that your mother will be with you Uncle Abang before!
Uncle Abang will definitely get better. You are not allowed to mention Uncle Abang's illness again. If others know about it, I will definitely not forgive you!"
Xiaotong lowered her eyes and flattened her mouth. When she didn't come to leave home, she certainly hoped that her mother could marry Uncle Abang so that she could live a life of food and clothing without worries.
But now, she has lived a life of having no worries about food and clothing, so she wants a better life.
Although she was young, she could still see that her family didn't want Uncle Abang to marry her mother. If Uncle Abang died, wouldn't they have no support again?
But she didn't dare to say these words to her mother directly, so she could only hold Bai Su Niang's arm and silently consider her thoughts.
...
At night, the convoy arrived at the Xishan Palace. After getting off the bus, Hua Qianqian did not go to rest, but arranged for everyone's residence with Aunt Axiu and other female officials.
The empress dowager was already exhausted after a day's carriage. Hua Qianqian did not let her continue to work hard. After settling everyone down, she and Aunt Axiu went to the hall.
The celebration banquet was held the next day, so they had to set up the hall tonight.
When they arrived at the hall, the palace servants in the palace had already arranged the place almost as follows the drawings Hua Qianqian mentioned to send people.
Looking at the festive and solemn hall, Aunt Axiu nodded repeatedly and praised:
"Minister, you can't do anything to you. I'm worried that you will be in a hurry if you haven't handled these things. Unexpectedly, I can't get involved at all!"
Hua Qianqian smiled and said, "Auntie, don't praise me. It's all your explanations. These palace ladies are smart, otherwise I don't know what to do if I want to do it!"
The palace servants around him became more and more motivated when they heard Hua Qianqian’s praise!
As the two were talking, a sneer came from the hall gate.
Hua Qianqian turned around and saw two people she didn't really want to see.
They are the princess of Zhenguo and Chu Yiran.
The princess of Zhenguo was wearing a crimson purple dress and a purple jade-carved golden phoenix hairpin, and she was dressed in gracefulness.
Behind her, in addition to Chu Yiran, there were more than a dozen maids surrounded by her, and her pomp was far superior to the Queen Mother.
She stepped into the hall gate and looked around the hall coldly, her face suddenly filled with anger.
"I said that preparing for a celebration banquet should not be left to an ignorant woman!
This hall was arranged like this, so how can you not be ridiculed by the ministers tomorrow!”
Aunt Axiu frowned and walked to the princess of Zhenguo, saluted and said, "I think the place is well arranged. I wonder where Your Highness is dissatisfied with it."
"As long as it is?" The princess of Zhenguo seemed to have heard a huge joke.
"Are you breathing in your eyes? Anyone who comes to you will be well arranged!
Such a happy event is not at all joy, without red silk decoration, and white palace lanterns are set up around it, which is really dismay!"
She pointed to the white cranes around the hall and held the palace lanterns, and said to the maids behind her:
"Come here, move those palace lanterns to this palace! Change them to the big red octagonal palace lanterns!
Also, carry down all the black tables and replace them with mahogany! Then tear off the silks of ghostly talismans on the beams and replace them with red silk and colorful silk!"
The maids behind her were ordered and immediately started to tear up the banners and cloths painted with auspicious patterns on the beams.
Aunt Axiu was very anxious and hurriedly asked the palace servants in the hall to come forward to stop them. The hall suddenly became a mess.
At this time, the princess of Zhenguo saw a piece of axe placed on the top. She looked at the tiger painted on the axe and shouted:
"Hua Liuniang, you are so brave. How dare you put such an axe behind the emperor? Are you cursing the death of the Great Feng general?"
Aunt Axiu was confused by the princess of Zhenguo. It was only after Hua Qianqian realized that there was a word Wang on the tiger's head, which was homophonic to "death".
Even so, no one has ever associated a tiger with "death".
The princess of Zhenguo stared at Hua Qianqian and said, "Hua Liuniang, what are you? You, the ambition witch, are you deliberately cursing me? You are here to smash this axe to me!"
After saying that, she pushed the axe down. Qiu Tao hurriedly ran over to stop him, but because the axe was too heavy, she was injured by her hand.
Hua Qianqian looked at the wound on Qiutao's hand, and her eyes suddenly became angry. She couldn't bear it and said sternly to the palace servants who rushed over:
"Stop it all, I see who dares to move! The Queen Mother has handed over the matter here to me, and I can decide how to arrange it. If you move it again, I will make you regret it!"
"presumptuous!"
The princess of Zhenguo reached out and slapped Hua Qianqian, but Hua Qianqian reacted quickly and directly grabbed her wrist.
