The palace is big at some times, and small at other times.
Ban Hua had to go to the apse to solve Gong's problem because he drank too much tea in the afternoon. Not long after he came out, he encountered Rong Xia. She casually said, "Uncle Rong, are you here too?"
After saying these words, Ban Hua felt that something was wrong with his brain, and it was too embarrassing to ask these words.
"Yeah, what a coincidence." Rong Xia chuckled, as if Ban Hua had just said "the weather is so nice", "There is a juggling show outside, so the princess is not interested?"
"There are a few jugglers at home, and it's just like watching a lot of them," Ban Hua saw Rongxia's expression so natural, and the discomfort in her heart disappeared, "I originally wanted to join in the fun, how do I know it's today? The atmosphere would be so awkward."
Ever since the subordinate prince proposed, the atmosphere on the female family's side was a little awkward, especially Shi Feixian, whose face was so cold that it was about to fall out of ice. Although Ban Hua didn't like Shi Feixian very much, the prince really wasn't worthy of this beauty, and it was no wonder that the Shi family looked so ugly.
She stole a glance at Rong Xia, who really didn't know that Shi Feixian liked him? Even she could see that Shi Feixian had some thoughts on Rong Xia, and it was impossible for Rong Xia not to notice.
"If this prince can really marry a Daye woman and live in Daye voluntarily, it will be a good thing for Daye," Rong Xia noticed that Ban Hua was peeking at him, and the smile on his face was even more gentle, "But this candidate should not be Stone girl."
It is impossible for the daughter of the Prime Minister to marry a foreigner unless the emperor is unwilling to reuse the family.
Rong Xia guessed that Ban Hua might not be interested in this topic, so he did not continue talking, but suddenly said: "The county master is very beautiful today, when you appeared at the gate of the palace, Rong almost lost his mind. "
Ban Hua squinted her eyes when she heard the words: "This set of jewelry you gave is beautiful."
"Beautiful jade and beautiful women, if there is no county master, how can they be extremely beautiful," Rong Xia's eyes fell on Ban Hua's earlobe, and there was a smile in her voice, "The real beauty is given to it by the county master."
Ban Hua has heard a lot of praise for her beauty, but if Rong Xia praised her so seriously, apart from her father and brother, there is no third man.
"Are all of you talented people who are full of poetry and books so good at talking?" Ban Yan wanted to hide her smile, but worried about the fat she just made, so she pursed her lips.
"Rong Mou doesn't know how to speak, he just says what he thinks in his heart." Seeing the wind blowing, Rong Xia was worried that the snow on the branches would fall on Ban Hua's body, and put out his hand to cover the top of Ban Hua's head. After the tree was far away, he withdrew his hand and clasped his fist at Ban Hua: "offensive."
Seeing a mass of snow falling from a tree on the back of his hand, Ban Hua pointed at the back of his hand embarrassedly: "Would you like to wipe it?"
"It's okay." Rong Xia shook his hand, still keeping a very safe distance from Ban Hua, as if he just covered the top of his head for Ban Hua just out of a gentleman's demeanor, without the slightest ambiguity.
Ban Hua doesn't think too much. What she thinks more about now is that even Rong Xia praised her beautiful dress today. It seems that it is worth it for her to get up early in the morning to dress up. A man who is admired by so many people in the capital should have a good aesthetic.
Xie Wanyu stood under the corner of the porch, looking at a man and woman walking in the snow, he could hardly believe his eyes.
She squeezed the handkerchief tightly in her hand and took a few steps back with a guilty conscience, subconsciously not wanting those two to see her, even though she herself didn't understand why she was hiding.
"Girl?" the maid behind her whispered, "what's the matter with you?"
"Nothing." Xie Wanyu shook his head, turned and ran hurriedly into the garden, where there was a performance stage and many people stayed there.
"Wan Yu, why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Shi Feixian saw Xie Wanyu coming back, and handed her a hand warmer, "When will you get rid of your troubles, and are your hands cold?"
"It's not cold." Xie Wanyu shook her head, and there was even a thin layer of sweat on her palms. But I don't know why, looking at Shi Feixian's smiling face, she remembered the second prince's look at Shi Feixian in the hall just now, she didn't tell what she saw just now.
"It seems that you are really not cold, you even sweated on your forehead." Shi Feixian reached out and wiped Xie Wanyu's forehead with a handkerchief, but Xie Wanyu tilted her head slightly to avoid her hand.
"I'm fine, what's going on on stage?" Xie Wanyu took a sip of tea. The tea was a little cold, but her heart calmed down a little, "It's quite interesting."
Shi Feixian turned back and glanced at the stage. An old student was babbling and singing. She remembered that Xie Wanyu never liked watching old students. Glancing at the cup of tea that didn't have much heat, Shi Feixian smiled, turned around and asked the palace servant to exchange a cup of hot tea for Xie Wanyu, and quietly accompanied Xie Wanyu to listen.
The sky was getting darker a little bit, and although there were many braziers around, the people sitting outside watching the performance still felt cold, but they couldn't tell that they were cold.
When they heard someone say that after the banquet started, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know what's going on, this winter seems to be extraordinarily cold. Even if I wear thick furs, the cold air still penetrates through the clothes and gets into the bones to make chaos unscrupulously.
The wind was blowing outside in the afternoon, and everyone's appetite was better at the dinner than at the luncheon. Even the noble ladies, who were particular about their manners, moved a few more chopsticks.
In order to ensure that the temperature and taste of the food are not affected, the people in the imperial kitchen have come up with a lot of methods. Anyway, no matter what they do, at least when the food is delivered to Ban Hua, it is scalding hot, making people look at it. Then the index finger moved, the only bad thing is that the amount is small.
She doesn't pay attention to eating less than three times. Ban Hua who likes to eat will use her chopsticks more, and if she doesn't like to eat, she will not even try it.
"Hua, this child is still so picky about eating," the queen said to the eldest princess at the bottom right of her, "but people are getting better and better every year."
"It was her parents who spoiled her," the eldest princess laughed. "Even the emperor and the empress loved her so much that they developed her lawless temperament."
"Xungui's family, the daughter's family should be more casual," the queen did not refute the eldest princess's words that she was accustomed to Ban Hua. "She is the only granddaughter of my aunt, and she can't be too pampered."
"Niangniang's words are biased," the eldest princess smiled and shook her head. "She doesn't call her randomness, she calls it unruly, and she doesn't know who she follows with her temperament."
The queen wanted to say that she must have followed Duke Jingting's temperament, but when she thought that Duke Jingting and the eldest princess had a strong relationship and had been sick for ten years, mentioning this person now would only make the eldest princess feel uncomfortable. He swallowed the words back, "Hua has the blood of our royal family and the family of military generals on her body, her status is noble, and her temper naturally follows the ancestors on both sides."
The eldest princess raised the teacup and respected the queen: "You are favoring her again."
After drinking a sip of tea, the eldest princess wiped the corners of her mouth and suppressed the itchy cough that rushed to her throat. Her cheeks were as rosy as a young woman in her twenties or thirties.
At the end of the banquet, the palace set off beautiful fireworks. Ban Hua stood on the main hall, standing with Yinshi among the female relatives, and after bowing to the emperor again, did she support Yinshi's hand and walk out of the warm hall.
The moment she walked out of the hall, a cold wind rushed towards her face. She pulled the cloak on her body and whispered to Yin Shi: "I really want to go home and take a hot bath."
Having roasted the dragon in the hall for so long, she felt that her whole body was roasted dry.
Yin Shi laughed and said, "Don't worry, the servants in the house have already prepared hot water."
Ban Hua rubbed against Yin Shi's body, acting coquettishly, like a seven- or eight-year-old child.
"Miss Shi, please stay!"
"Miss Shi, please stay!"
Ban Hua heard a voice with a strange accent behind her, and looked around curiously. Wasn't Shi Feixian still inside when she left the temple just now, and came to the front so quickly
"Miss Shi!"
A young man with dark skin and curly hair suddenly stood in front of her, put one hand on his chest and bowed to her: "Miss Shi, I don't understand the customs and habits of the great cause, so when I was talking at noon there was something wrong. If you are disrespectful, please forgive Miss Shi."
The people who were still whispering around seemed to have seen some supernatural phenomenon. They all stopped and looked at Ban Hua and the subordinate prince standing in front of her with a subtle look.
The beautiful woman before the subordinate prince met did not speak, thinking that she was still angry with herself, and quickly explained: "The next name is Tu Bo'er, the name is Akqi, the second prince of the Aipo country, but before he came to the great cause, The father gave me the name of the next great cause, and the young lady can call me Tu Aqi."
Ban Hua looked at the prince who had recognized the wrong person. In fact, this young man was not bad, with deep eyes and bright eyeballs like precious sapphires. The only drawback was that his skin was not white enough. A black cover a hundred handsome, Ban Hua prefers a whiter man.
"Prince Akqi," Wang De walked over with a smile and explained politely, "You have mistaken the person, this is not Miss Shi."
"What?" Akeqi's eyes widened in surprise, such a beautiful woman is not the first beauty of the great cause, how should Miss Shi be beautiful
"I don't know, which beautiful lady is Miss Shi?" Akqi is an upright and good young man. After seeing that he recognized the wrong person, he gave Ban Hu a great gift from the state of Aipo, and then looked at Wang De, hoping that he could lead him to find him. The real Miss Shi.
Wang De turned around with a smile, walked to Shi Feixian and saluted, "This old slave has seen Miss Shi."
"Your Majesty, you are too polite." Shi Feixian did not dare to offend the most trusted eunuch in front of His Majesty, and smiled back to Wang De.
But she didn't look at Prince Akzi from beginning to end, as if she didn't know Akzi was looking for her or that Akzi recognized the wrong person.
Shi Feixian is a beautiful woman, an uncompromising beauty, with blue silk, white skin, willow waist and golden lotus feet. No one can say that she is not beautiful, but she is not really the first beauty of the great cause, even if she has the name of the first beauty. No.
Everyone knew why Akzi would admit the wrong person, so everyone was silent.
Akeqi looked at the woman from Chenchen standing in front of Wang De, and at the girl who was not far from him, who was as beautiful as a flame, and also fell silent.
Father, I didn't expect that the first problem I had to correct when I came to Daye was aesthetics.
The great cause is really a kingdom of heaven, and even the aesthetics are so different.
He still has a lot to learn.
The author has something to say: Prince Akzi: I am a country man who is too out of fashion.
