Three days later, the plum blossom banquet was held as scheduled.
The Royal Plum Garden on the outskirts of the city is full of fragrant flowers, plum blossoms are in full bloom in the snow, and there are large areas of red and pink. From a distance, it looks like a sea of flowers, very dreamy.
This year's plum blossoms bloomed very early and flourished.
Under the plum sea, the banquet had already been set up. Princess Changping and the crown prince Long Tianmo sat on the main seats, one on the left and one on the right. The first person on the left of the crown prince was Princess Rongle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Duanmu Yao.
Although there were many romantic and talented people attending this banquet, most of them were women. Long Tianmo didn't want to come at first, but who knew that he received an order from his father last night to accompany him.
A few days ago, I don't know who spread the rumor that Uncle Qin Huang had been with Princess Rongle all the time. It seemed that the rumor was false.
Ruthless is the emperor's family the most. Women in the royal family, whether they are wives or concubines, which one is not a tool? When it is useful, it is praised to heaven and everyone fights for it. When it is useless, it is thrown away like a shoe, let alone him, the prince's woman
If Duanmuyao wanted to marry him, he would marry him right away without blinking an eye. Unfortunately, everyone knows that Duanmu Yao's heart is with King Qin.
Although the Western Zhou Dynasty and Tianning are allies by marriage, they each have their own calculations after all. The emperor desperately hopes that Princess Rong Le can get married as soon as possible, and the two countries can further cooperate, especially in the defense of the northeastern border. A consensus can be reached as soon as possible , unanimously against the calendar.
Helpless, the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty had already let go of his words, and asked Princess Rongle to find Mr. Ruyi and remarry by herself.
Ruyi Langjun, who else is there besides Qin Huangshu
It's just that Duanmuyao hasn't made any public statement on this open secret, and no one dares to speculate on Uncle Qin Huang's attitude, so the matter has been dragged on like this.
"Yaoyao, try this plum blossom tea, is it only available in Tianning?"
Long Tianmo found the topic, and said "Yaoyao" to shorten the distance between them, but who knows, Duanmuyao didn't give him face, and said "His Royal Highness", and kept the distance, "Your Highness, call me Rong Le More appropriate?"
A flash of sullenness flashed in Long Tianmo's eyes, but he hid it very well.
This woman is very beautiful, and she is indeed both civil and military, but he really does not like this woman from the bottom of his heart. If it is not because she is the princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he will not even look at her more.
Although angry, Long Tianmo's tone was still gentle, "I heard that Uncle Qin Huang will travel in the next year, does Princess Rong Le know where he will go?"
As soon as these words came out, Duanmu Yao looked straight at her, with a shocked expression on her face.
She didn't go back with her brother Huang but stayed in Tianning for the new year. She hoped that she could find a way to get married after the next year, but she didn't expect her senior brother to travel!
Emperor Tianhui kept saying in secret that she would be able to find Mr. Ruyi. Does that count
Seeing Duanmu Yao's reaction, Long Tianmo was very satisfied.
"Princess Rong Le doesn't seem to know about it yet. It looks like I have to wait for Aunt Qin Huang to come before I ask her." He said, took a sip of tea, and didn't chat much.
However, Duanmu Yao's face changed completely! Han Yunxi? Can Han Yunxi know her senior brother's whereabouts? how can that be
At this time, most of the invitees had already arrived and were chatting in twos and threes. Of course, the hottest chatter was Han Yunxi.
Will Han Yunxi come
The Plum Blossom Banquet is not only an occasion to compete in interpersonal relationships, but also an occasion to compete in talents. Not to mention Han Yunxi's interpersonal relationships, she basically doesn't have a single girlfriend in the circle. As for talents... that is the biggest highlight of the day!
Han Yunxi is the daughter of a commoner, how can a medical family be compared with the royal family
Moreover, she has not been favored since she was a child, and she has not received any cultivation, so what talent can she have? What confidence does she have to attend the Plum Blossom Banquet? The Plum Blossom Banquet is not as simple as coming to eat, chat and enjoy the flowers.
It is said that many people inside and outside the palace gambled on whether Han Yunxi would dare to attend today.
However, amidst the whispers, the eunuch announced loudly, "Princess Qin is here... like Miss arrives..."
coming
She really dares to come
All of a sudden, everyone followed the sound and saw that Han Yunxi was wearing a beautiful and refined Shengxue white dress. The whole body was white, and only a belt of plum blossom and jade was dotted around the waist, and the white skirt was red jade. What a simple match. But it gave people a bright feeling, killing all the luxuriously dressed women present.
Of course, Murong Wanru who was walking beside her was also dim.
Due to Han Yunxi's identity, everyone stood up to greet Han Yunxi even though they were reluctant. However, Duanmuyao was sitting calmly, which was particularly obvious among the standing people.
When Han Yunxi got closer, she lazily stood up without even calling her, "Long time no see."
She hates calling her princess, and even more hates calling her "Princess Qin"!
Instead of being angry, Han Yunxi smiled harmlessly, "Princess Rong Le has been here for a few days now. I thought your senior brother would bring you home for tea. Who knew that I would never be able to wait for you."
Immediately, she assumed the attitude of the hostess, "How about, after this banquet is over, come back with me and drink tea in our courtyard."
Does she not care if Duanmuyao will really come to Prince Qin's mansion with his wife? It doesn't matter what Long Feiye's attitude is.
Anyway, she is determined, no matter who wants to bully her or show her face, it has no way!
As soon as these words came out, Duanmuyao's hands in her sleeves clenched into fists. Undoubtedly, Han Yunxi's words hit her vital point. She knew exactly what kind of status she was in King Qin's heart. , but it was forced by Emperor Tianhui.
On that day, the senior brother didn't say more than five sentences to her!
"Okay, I must go and play with my senior brother some other day!" Duanmuyao answered with restraint, she thought, Han Yunxi, don't get too complacent, you will be there later!
Han Yunxi took a seat between Duanmuyao and Long Tianmo. As for Murong Wanru, she didn't have such a high standard of treatment, so she could only sit at the bottom.
Princess Changping remained silent all this time, she glanced at Han Yunxi from time to time, and kept sneering in her heart. Her banquet today was all for Han Yunxi!
Han Yunxi will definitely be the protagonist, but it must be the protagonist who shows ugliness!
Compared to Princess Changping, Crown Prince Long Tianmo was much more polite. As soon as Han Yunxi sat down, he said, "Aunt Qinhuang, I heard that Uncle Qinhuang will travel in the next year?"
His voice was not loud, but it was enough for Duanmuyao beside him to hear. Undoubtedly, he did it on purpose. Even if he didn't like it, he still wanted to win over Duanmuyao. To win over Duanmuyao, he had to make her give up on King Qin first. .
Han Yunxi didn't expect that Long Tianmo would suddenly ask her about Long Feiye, and she had never heard of it before. Well, in fact, she knew less about him than anyone else.
Just as he was about to answer truthfully, he caught a glimpse of Duanmu Yao's hostile gaze.
Han Yunxi admitted that she was bad, she said without thinking, "Who did you listen to, King Qin only told me about this matter."
Long Tianmo said with a smile, "Of course I heard it from my father."
Emperor Tianhui!
Duanmuyao narrowed her eyes, Emperor Tianhui knew that Long Feiye was leaving, why didn't he tell her? hateful!
"Aunt Qin Huang, where is Uncle Huang planning to go? How long?" Long Tianmo asked again.
"You can ask your father." Han Yunxi replied casually.
"Father doesn't know, so... let me ask you!" Long Tianmo lowered his voice.
Han Yunxi smiled, with a mysterious face, "Secret!"
To be true, she didn't know what Long Mo asked these things for, but seeing Duanmu Yao's face that was so gloomy that she was about to drip water made her very happy.
She found that Duanmu Yao and Long Feiye didn't seem to be that close. At least, Duanmu Yao, like her, didn't know that Long Feiye was going to travel after the night.
Thinking of this, Han Yunxi felt much better again, without even realizing it.
While chatting, the eunuch's loud announcement once again attracted everyone's attention.
"Pingbeihou Mansion, Young Master Che is here... Pingnan Hou Mansion, Young Master Mu is here!"
The two princes, Pingbeihou and Pingnanhou, are also known as the North and South Princes, and their reputation is not small, but their reputation is not good.
Sun Che, the eldest son of Ping Beihou's single lineage, known as Bei Gongzi, dressed in white and holding a folding fan, is extraordinary and suave. He is not only famous for his talent and learning, but also for his flirtatious nature. He has just turned eighteen this year, and he is already a ten-room concubine. There are rumors that he even has his father's concubine, which is simply a beast.
Li Muge, the direct son of Pingnanhou's single lineage, known as Nan Gongzi, is dressed in purple and holds a folding fan. At first glance, he looks clean and looks like an exiled immortal. However, when he looks carefully, he is holding lotus fingers. It's been an open secret that he is as good as Long Yang, who walks in small steps, and is more feminine than a woman.
The appearance of the North and South sons caused a lot of restlessness. A suave man is a woman's poison, while a feminine man is a woman's best best friend. The popularity of these two sons has always remained high.
This time Princess Changping presided over the banquet and invited many more men, but Princess Changping never interacted with them, why did she invite them this time
Not minding everyone's timid discussions, Princess Changping glanced at Murong Wanru playfully, Murong Wanru returned a meaningful look, the two of them understood each other, as if they were hiding some secret.
Han Yunxi was also puzzled. She took a look at Mr. Nanbei and felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Soon everyone will be here, and the banquet will begin...
This year's Plum Blossom Banquet, with the theme of Plum Blossom Tea, served a variety of ingenious pastries and tea drinks, but unfortunately, everyone
But he didn't want to taste it.
Looking at Han Yunxi who was sitting high above, they were full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and they were also eager to try, eager to see Han Yunxi make a fool of herself.
A commoner's daughter whose background is lower than theirs is simply an insult to the words "Princess Qin", yet she dares to sit on it so calmly.
Today's opportunity has come, they want to beat this woman back to her original form, break her ridiculous pride and blind arrogance; let her know that even if she really treats herself like an onion, no one will ever dip her in it Sauce to eat!
No, before Princess Changping made a sound, someone lost her temper. This person was none other than the youngest daughter of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Mrs. Xu's younger sister Xu Yunrong.
She got up and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the plum blossoms are so blooming this year, why not, let's come to Yongmei!"
Yong Mei...
Princess Changping was just waiting for someone to speak, so she was overjoyed and stood up so excited, "Miss Xu is so elegant, this is a good idea!"
