Chapter 229 Let's Play a Show
There are stars in the sky and warm lights on earth.
That night.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony, which was used for large palace banquets, was brightly lit.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony is located on a three-story white marble platform. The overall building is magnificent and solemn.
To the south is Taihemen Square, in front of the square is a river, and the spacious bridge in the middle is very lively at this time.
Palace maids in uniform held dragon and phoenix palace lanterns and led the way for the princes, ministers, concubines, and noble ladies who were attending the banquet.
Looking from afar, the sky and the ground are clearly distinguished, yet they echo each other from afar, as if the Milky Way is upside down, creating a unique artistic conception.
To the north of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the Imperial Garden, where there are several times more lanterns than usual. The small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, towers, rockery and strange rocks in the garden are magnificent under the lights.
It can be used by the guests to have fun, have private conversations, hold hands, pass notes, etc...
Qi Yuyi and his group arrived neither early nor late. The three of them exchanged glances and went to their respective seats.
Qi Yuyi followed the little palace maid who led the way and stopped at a position close to the throne. She frowned slightly. According to the previous order, she should not be in this position.
Qi Yuyi looked at the seats around her calmly. Although she was confused, she did not make any unnecessary movements and sat down with a calm expression.
After all, this banquet was not hosted by her family, and she was just a guest at the banquet, so she should just sit wherever she was told to sit.
It’s just that Minister Lin, Censor Li, and Master Xie are all here, so why is she not here? Where did she go?
Qi Yuyi looked around the hall but couldn't find Li Jiaojiao, so she played with the round fan in her hand out of boredom.
Her actions naturally did not escape the eyes of Lin Weilan and Meng Siyue. They were sitting next to each other and whispering to each other.
"Sister Lin, the princess seemed to be worried today. Was she looking for someone just now?" Meng Siyue covered her cheek with a round fan, her almond-shaped eyes searching around unusually.
"Even you can see that the princess has really regressed." Lin Weilan also covered her face with a round fan, her eyes were gentle as water, but her words were completely opposite.
"Oh, Sister Lin, you are too stingy. Didn't I apologize? Tell me, who is the princess looking for? Is there someone the princess likes? Which young man is she looking for?" Meng Siyue took advantage of the cover of the table and reached out to pull Lin Weilan's sleeve.
"Okay, I'll ask for you." Lin Weilan pulled back her sleeves and stood up.
"Don't." Meng Siyue exclaimed and reached out to stop her, but saw Lin Weilan go straight to Madam Lin at the door of the hall.
And his mother was gnashing her teeth and looking at him with a look of regret...
It's over, it's over...
I was misunderstood by my mother again.
Oh my God, she never wants to mess with that black-hearted Lin Weilan again.
Meng Siyue hurriedly put on a fake smile, lifted her skirt, and looked towards her mother with a bright face, ready to help, but seeing her mother's disapproving look, she quickly put her skirt down, and finally turned around and sat back down...
Forget it, the punishment is inevitable anyway, so let it be.
If you have too many lice, you won’t be itchy. If you have too many debts, you won’t have to worry.
On the other side, Lin Weilan calmly pushed Lin Min'er aside and helped her mother to her seat.
Turning around, I saw Lin Min'er craning her neck to look around, "What are you looking for, sister?"
Lin Min'er retracted her gaze upon hearing this, lowered her eyes and smiled calmly, "I heard that today is a celebration for Yuncheng's hero, Fuyao County Lady. I was curious about what kind of extraordinary woman she is. I couldn't help but look around. Please forgive me, elder sister."
Meng Siyue, who was standing by, rolled her eyes immediately when she saw Lin Min'er's behavior. She couldn't stand Lin Min'er's sissy behavior. Fortunately, her family didn't have these annoying things.
Lin Weilan also frowned slightly and said sternly: "Be careful with your words! This is a celebration banquet for Yuncheng's heroes!"
The celebration banquet for Yuncheng's heroes and the celebration banquet for Fuyao County Princess are two different concepts.
Lin Min'er is looking for trouble!
As expected, there were already people talking about it.
"The imperial envoys going to Yuncheng this time are all in the main hall. Why is Princess Fuyao not here?"
"Yes, even Princess Yuyi and Princess Qingyang have taken their seats, why hasn't she arrived yet?"
"I'm afraid you didn't dare to come out after seeing those two? Are you afraid of being outdone?"
……
Mother Lin, who originally did not want to speak, put down the teacup in her hand. There was a crisp ding sound, and the surrounding voices paused. Then Mother Lin spoke lightly, "My master did mention the county lady several times in his letters. Lan'er, Min'er, your father is in Yuncheng and is being taken care of by the county lady. Go with mother to pay a visit to the county lady later."
Lin Weilan was startled. She naturally couldn't see the letters from her father and mother, but whatever her mother said was what she meant. "Yes, mother."
Lin Min'er tightly held the handkerchief in her hand. Her aunt always said that her father had her in his heart, but her father had been gone for two months and he hadn't even written a letter to her.
Don’t say that it was detained by the Madam. Although she didn’t want to admit it, a Madam from the Duke’s Mansion really wouldn’t bother to do such a thing.
She was gentle and respectful, and said softly: "Yes, mother. Min'er will definitely remember the county lady's kindness."
Seeing this, the people around immediately changed the subject.
Are you kidding? If it was just the identity of the Shangshu's wife, it would be fine, but Madam Lin is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Anguo.
His ancestors were founding heroes of Daqing, and their titles were inherited from generation to generation.
Lin Min'er wanted to say something, but at this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the hall.
She looked up and saw a huge white wolf following a woman in green into the hall.
The woman was cool and otherworldly, with a natural temperament. She was wrapped in a gorgeous dress of clear blue water. Under the reflection of the candlelight in the hall, she looked sparkling as she walked, looking extremely agile.
The visitor's overall demeanor outshined everyone else in the hall.
Everyone's eyes followed Li Jiaojiao's movement, but her footsteps were getting farther and farther away.
There were even timid ladies who fainted from fright.
There were also some who were a little braver, who huddled together and discussed the matter.
"Hey, this must be Princess Fuyao. I heard that when she was in Yuncheng, she liked to ride a white wolf on patrol all day. Seeing her today, this white wolf is really... heroic."
"Wow, Sister Lin, did you see that? This wolf... this wolf... is so beautiful!" Meng Siyue grabbed Lin Weilan's arm with both hands, her hands trembling with excitement, "I really want to touch it."
Lin Weilan nodded in a daze, her fan-holding hand stroking the smooth handle, her eyes following the footsteps of the man and the wolf in the field, and she murmured, "I want to, too!"
……
Li Jiaojiao had a severe headache and originally wanted to eat some melon seeds and watch the show, but unexpectedly, she became the first actor to leave the stage.
No one knew what Emperor Qing was thinking, but he wanted her to bring Little Wolf to the banquet.
If you want to join, you should have told me earlier. I arrived early and let the little wolf lie on the side and keep quiet. At most, people who are closer to me will see it, and I won’t be discussed and treated like a monkey now...
Don't I want to lose face?
Li Jiaojiao followed the eunuch's footsteps without looking around, but the eunuch's footsteps were not fast. She walked in from the main hall entrance like a slow-moving sightseeing bus...
Behind the car, there were many people watching the excitement...
Now that the banquet is over, I guess everyone in the capital city knows her. Even if they don’t know her, they should know her kid.
I hope that one day, some merchants will give her a discount when she buys things for her sake...
