The carriages entered the palace and stopped at one place. The young eunuchs came forward one by one and led the ladies to the side hall to wait.
Zhu Ying and others followed a young eunuch into the side hall. Many noble ladies had gathered in the side hall, sitting dignifiedly in order of rank. A few familiar ones gathered together quietly and drank tea elegantly. Occasionally,
They talked quietly, holding a handkerchief over their mouths and laughing softly.
Zhu Ying suddenly felt as if she had entered a doll world, and she did not belong here.
The entry of several ladies from the Shangshu Mansion into the side hall immediately caused a commotion among the ladies. Firstly, Zhu Ying's makeup was too shocking and frightened the ladies present. Secondly, Su Luomei was no longer that Xiao Zi.
Instead, the man stood tall and graceful, his brilliance shone everywhere, and the ladies all felt threatened.
Su Luomei is wrapped in a pale pink dress, with a white gauze on top, revealing her graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones. Her skirt is pleated like snow, her gait is graceful and graceful, her three thousand black hair is tied up with a hairband, and her hair is
Wearing a butterfly hairpin, a strand of blue silk hanging on the chest, applying a thin layer of pink and white, it only adds color, and the looming red on the cheeks creates a delicate and lovely pure skin like petals, and the whole person is like a butterfly flying in the wind.
It is also like clear and clear ice and snow.
Zhu Ying and she stood together. One was elegant and refined, like an elf; the other was vulgar and vulgar, creating a strong contrast.
When all the noble ladies see Zhu Ying, they will naturally turn their eyes elsewhere. This is what she wants to achieve. She does not want the Zhu family to recognize her, no matter whether they still remember her as a sister, let alone others.
Remember her true face.
Su Luomei rarely attended gatherings in the ladies' circle, so naturally she had few friends. She and Zhu Ying sat at the arranged seat to drink tea.
When Zhu Ying drank tea, she deliberately made a "baba" sound, which made the ladies even more disgusted with her and avoided her out of fear.
Zhu Ying said: "Sister, I'm sorry, I'm tired of you being hated too!"
Su Luomei smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, they don't like me in the first place!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Zhu Ying looked at the ladies present. She saw that Su Luoyan and Su Luotao were already talking to the ladies they were familiar with. The girl with them had a delicate face.
She has a pretty face with big eyes and a small mouth, but her hooked nose looks a bit sinister.
Zhu Ying asked: "Who is that girl?"
Su Luomei said: "It's Master Zhu Neng and Zhu's daughter is named Zhu Zirong."
Zhu Ying frowned, wondering why her names were different from those of her younger siblings. A sadness arose in her heart: Why? Why do you hate me so much? What did I do wrong?
She glanced at her half-sister a few more times, and Su Zirong was also looking at her secretly, with unkindness in her eyes. Zhu Ying understood that Su Luoyan and Su Luotao were talking bad about her in front of her.
At this moment, her heart was filled with grief and anger, and she glared at her with a fierce look in her eyes. Su Zirong was so frightened that he immediately retracted his gaze and did not dare to look at her again.
Zhu Ying didn't like this half-sister. In her eyes, she was just as vicious as her mother. When her father alienated her mother, it was the intervention of her mother, Li Xiangxiang, who in her father's ears
The wind blows beside the pillow.
At this time, a palace official walked into the side hall and said, "Dear ladies, please follow me to the Imperial Garden!"
The ladies stood up one after another and followed the palace people into the imperial garden in groups of two.
This time it was called "Lotus Appreciation Banquet" and naturally the banquet was held by the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden.
This was the first time Zhu Ying saw the royal garden of Daliang Kingdom. The garden was planted with ancient cypresses and locust trees, exotic flowers and rare herbs, and there were also rows of rare stone and jade seats and potted flower piles, which added to the changes in the scene in the garden and enriched the landscape.
Layers. The garden ground is inlaid with various colored pebbles to form symbolic patterns of fortune, wealth and longevity, which is rich and colorful.
When we came to the lotus pond, there were tables and chairs arranged according to men's left and women's right. Every noble lady and noble man was assigned a seat. The seats in Shangshu's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion were relatively near the front.
When Su Luomei entered, she aroused the exclamation from the young master of the aristocratic family. Zhu Ying also saw Zhu Zixuan, whom she had longed for, and she felt better when he saw that he was no longer frowning.
She looked around again but did not see Zhao Yu, but there was still () at the head of the male guests..co
.
The few empty seats are presumably the royal seats, and Zhao Yu should be sitting there.
Zhu Zixuan saw Su Luomei smiling politely and nodding towards her, and Su Luomei smiled kindly in return. This smile attracted envious whispers from many young masters from aristocratic families.
After sitting down, Zhu Ying discovered that this lotus pond was indeed a royal lotus pond. There were not only various rare lotus flowers in the lotus pond, but also Wenjun Buddha Chen who grew in the palace of Siyou Kingdom. This made Zhu Ying feel a little happy.
I was very excited. If I could pick some flower stamens and bring them back, I could prepare some beauty ointment for Nongzhu.
At this time, the eunuch's melodious and high-pitched voice rose: "The emperor and the queen are here!"
Everyone knelt down and saluted, shouting: "Long live my king, my queen, my queen, my queen."
Amidst the cheers, the emperor appeared in everyone's eyes holding the queen's hand, followed by a group of marriageable princes and princesses, including Prince Zhao Jinchen, Princess Yonghe Zhao Jinyan, etc., as well as Zhao Jinchen, who is eye-catching no matter where he is.
Yu.
Zhu Ying finally met the man who made his father loyal to him at all costs.
Zhao Xian is a middle-aged man who is nearly fifty years old. He is well-maintained, has a slender figure, a thin face, and white skin. He has a beautiful beard, which adds to the majesty of an emperor, but his eyes are sinister and vicious.
Although the queen's appearance is not outstanding, she has an approachable face, a slightly chubby face, a very round, white and blessed appearance. It is said that everything went smoothly after Zhao Xian married this wife, and he rose through the ranks and ascended to the throne all the way, so Zhao Xian always regarded her as his own
With his lucky star, the relationship between the emperor and the empress was very harmonious.
After the emperor and queen took their seats, the eunuch shouted again: "Get up - take your seats!"
Everyone replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Queen!"
Then they all stood up and took their seats.
After Zhu Ying sat down, her eyes drifted towards Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu sat at the head of the princes and princesses, wearing a purple python-patterned robe with a python-patterned belt of the same color tied around his waist. His black hair was tied up with a jade crown. His slender body was straight. He was handsome and handsome.
With his innate nobility, he stands out from the crowd.
Zhu Ying was very dissatisfied with him for imprisoning her. She didn't want to give him a good look, but when she saw him wearing the jade crown she gave him, she felt warm in her heart and her eyes became gentle.
Zhao Yu was also looking at her. Their eyes were glued to each other in the air. Seeing the warmth in his eyes, all Zhu Ying's dissatisfaction disappeared, but she felt a sense of heartache in her heart. After not seeing each other for a few days, he had lost weight.
Already.
While Zhu Ying was looking at Zhao Yu, the ladies below were also looking at him. He was so dazzling.
Although the elders warned him not to have too much contact with King Chun before going out, they still couldn't help but watch quietly.
The emperor made a toast and raised his glasses to drink together.
Then Princess Yonghe stood up and said: "Father, Emperor and Mother, the garden is full of lotus flowers today. I would like to present a song to wish everyone a happy future."
The emperor smiled broadly and nodded in approval.
Princess Yonghe bit her lip and continued: "But I ask my father's permission to allow Mr. Zhu to accompany me."
The queen knew her daughter's thoughts and said: "The Ai family has long heard that Mr. Zhu has superb piano skills, and the sound of the piano has been lingering for three days. It is really rare to be lucky enough to hear it today."
Zhu Zixuan immediately stood up and said respectfully: "The queen is so complimentary."
The little eunuch brought a lyre. Zhu Zixuan walked to the lyre and sat down. He adjusted the sound and then collaborated with Princess Yonghe on a song. New
The princess' singing voice is crisp and Zhu Zixuan's piano music is melodious. The two of them work together seamlessly and complement each other. It's no wonder that the princess chooses to sing. Firstly, singing is her strength. Secondly, it is also to recommend her beloved man to her father. Thirdly, it is a warning.
Those noble ladies who are interested in Zhu Zixuan, Zhu Zixuan belongs to her.
Princess Yonghe's eyes intentionally or unintentionally turned to the several daughters of Shangshu Mansion, looking at them provocatively.
Su Luomei naturally understood why the princess was hostile to them. It was because Zhu Ying caused the princess to misunderstand the ice silkworm grass given to Zhu Zixuan by Shangshu Mansion. She thought for a while to find an opportunity to explain to the princess.
The emperor praised the two of them and rewarded them with ()..co
.
After receiving the gift, Zhu Zixuan and Princess Yonghe thanked En and returned to their seats.
Then, one after another, young gentlemen and noble ladies showed off their talents in front of the emperor.
Zhu Ying is not interested in this, and her talent does not lie here.
She looked around for an opportunity to sneak out. She wanted to try her luck at Tai Hospital to see if she could meet Xu Mubai and see if she had a chance to get what the master wanted. If not, she could get Wenjun Fochen.
The stamens are also good.
Zhu Ying thought of a way to escape, and Princess Yonghe stood up again. She saluted the emperor and queen, and her eyes fell viciously on the Shangshu Mansion.
"Father, the Queen and the Queen, I have heard that several of the noble ladies in the Shangshu Mansion are very talented. Why don't you let everyone see them together."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on the Su sisters and Zhu Ying. Most of the young masters' eyes were on Su Luomei. They were so angry that Su Luoyan and Su Luotao almost broke their handkerchiefs.
.
Zhu Zixuan frowned and glared at Princess Yonghe. He didn't like her using her power to deliberately target the Su family.
The daughters of the Shangshu Mansion are also very confident. Su Luoyan and Su Luotao are even more eager to go on stage to give it a try, but Zhu Ying is really a little panicked. She really doesn't have much else besides being able to use acupuncture to save people.
I wonder if she is one of the few noble ladies in the Shangshu Mansion among the talents?
The emperor laughed "haha" and said, "I want to get to know my beloved daughter of the Su Qing family."
Su Luomei saw the embarrassment in Zhu Ying's eyes. She reached out and held Zhu Ying's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. My sister doesn't have to perform. I will explain to the Emperor and Queen."
The queen also said kindly: "Which noble lady will come first?"..co
