The Favoured Medical Princess
Chapter 678 Insult
May 11 is a day for a banquet in Anjia.
Regarding this new arrival home, Luo Yuecheng’s houses were still on the sidelines until they learned that the King of Zhennan would come in person, and even the concubine of the world would also come, and he no longer hesitated and went to Anfu one after another. A long queue of cars was lined up at the door of the house, blocking the alley.
The front door of An's family is wide open, and Mrs. An Shao's wife, Feng, with her maid in charge, is welcoming them at the second gate. Today's visitors are all rich or expensive, and Feng's caution is 120,000, lest they offend by accident. Noble.
When the carriages of Nangong Yue, Xiao Fei, and Zhou Roujia arrived, they were immediately introduced into the door by the people of Anfu. The Feng family led Nongong Yue and his party to the garden of the inner courtyard.
After bypassing a goose's wing, the pedestrian walked along a cobblestone path.
Feng led the way while introducing Nangongyue to the courtyard. After a while, they saw a rugged rockery and a small lake beside the rocky mountain. The blue lake was flooded in the sun Golden luster.
This lake is not uncommon. There is no pond in the garden. What is strange is a long wisteria flower gallery built along the lake. At a glance, the shades of purple are mixed together. It's incredible.
When they walked into the flower gallery, they found that there was a pot of peony flowers blooming on both sides of the flower gallery. Peonies are happy but not exposed to the sun. It is just right to put them in the shaded flower gallery, and the wisteria flowers look far away It is as gorgeous as a layer of clouds, but it is inferior when viewed from close up, and it won't grab the peony's style.
A group of people unconsciously slowed down in the flower gallery, admiring the good water, good mountains, good flowers... At the end of the flower gallery, a large flower shed was built, the flowers were overflowing, and the flower shed was connected to a heavy eaves The style of the pavilion, with yellow glazed tiles on the top of the pavilion, shines brightly in the sun.
At the moment, there was a loud laughter in the pavilion and under the flower shed.
Many ladies and girls have arrived, and the women are all dressed up colorfully and dressed up in pearlescent looks.
At the sight of Nangong Yue and his party, the women around them stood up one by one, preparing to give Nangong Yue a gift.
Mrs. An took the lead with a 15- to 16-year-old girl. After saluting Nangong Yue, Mrs. An introduced: "Concubine Shizi, this is my third daughter, and she is a famous girl."
The three girls of Anjia Anzhi took a step forward on the floor and saw her melon seed face. The dark Qi Liuhai had a pair of bright big eyes and a small cherry mouth with a slight lift. It seemed to be a girl who loved to laugh.
Today, she wore a pink peony flower carved silk braid, took a peony bun, and wore a golden tired silk inlaid with a peony hairpin on her head. This body can be regarded as the scene of today's "peony feast".
Nangong Yue was looking at An Zhi painting, and A Zhi painting was also looking at the three of them without any traces, and suddenly judged that the young lady standing in the middle must be the princess of the world, and there were ten girls in her right hand who had not yet reached the bridle. **It is Xiao Fei, the young girl of Xiao, and the identity of another young lady is not difficult to judge. It must be the newly entered second young lady.
An Zhi's painting still smiles brilliantly on the surface, but his heart is full of ups and downs: after hearing for a long time that the "concubine" of the prince of the world is out, today it seems that he can live without water.His wife Xiao Fang was just abandoned by the prince. As a matter of fact, Xiao Luan and Xiao Fei's pair of children, Xiao Luan and Xiao Fei, must have an embarrassing status in the palace, but even so, the princess still brought the little girl Xiao and the second wife together. When it comes out, people can pick out the mistakes, and even feel that the long-sister-in-law of the concubine Shizi is kind...
This princess of the world is either a kind-hearted person, or perhaps a person with extremely deep ambitions-if the former, how could she fight even her mother-in-law was abandoned?!
An Zhihua is more vigilant the more he thinks, but now Shiziye is powerful in southern Xinjiang. In the whole of Southern Xinjiang, Princess Shizi is the most noble woman. Who dares to offend Princess Shizi!Even if she marries into the palace in the future, she may have to respect the princess of the world for a few minutes.
In the pavilion at the back, the eyes of the young girls are all projected on Nangong Yue and his party. Among them, there are examinations, speculations, doubts...Before, how many wives were ambitious in the spring hunting to make Xiao Fei his own daughter-in-law Nowadays, there are so many wives who feel regretful, and even thinking about it later, they must draw a line with Xiao Fei to avoid unpleasantness.
"The little daughter An Shizhi has seen the concubine."
An Zhi painted Yingying a blessing, saluting Nangong Yue with a smile, hesitantly wondering: Do you want to suppress the little girl Xiao to please the princess of the world?
"Paint cousin is free."
Nangong Yue raised her hand with a smile, and then praised Anzhi's painting with politeness. What kind of "knowledge is reasonable, gentle and demure" and so on, she pulled a gold inlaid jade bracelet from her wrist and gave it to Anzhi. Meet up.
An Zhihua put it on his wrist after taking both hands, and thanked him with a smile.
Following this, the women from the other residences in the pavilion also came to please Nangong Yue.
When all the female relatives surrounded Nangong Yue and took a seat one by one again, it was already a cup of tea, and the ladies and the girls greeted each other with acquaintances.
"Small girl Xiao." Chang Huanwei stepped forward with a smile and greeted Xiao Fei, not even noticing that Mrs. Chang's face behind her was a bit stiff.
In the past, Mrs. Chang hoped that her daughter would go close to Xiao Fei, but sister Wei was reluctant in every way. Now that Xiao Fei's status in the palace is so subtle and embarrassing, her daughter has to bump into it regardless.
But when thinking of Xiao Fei's maintenance of Chang Huanwei during the spring hunting, Mrs. Chang was hesitant.
My family is not a person who thinks of poverty and loves the rich. If Xiao Fei fell for a while, he turned away and didn't recognize anyone. It seemed that he was too powerful... But his son was still under the prince of the world, and too close to the big girl Fei Will it make Shiziye unhappy?
Mrs. Chang was immersed in the tangled emotions alone. Chang Huanwei had already sat down next to Xiao Fei, and in a few moments the two of you chatted about the piano with me.
Nangong Yue didn't know the thoughts of these women's relatives around, but she didn't want to say more, and talked too much. In some people's eyes, she just wanted to make it more obvious.Moreover, she didn't want to find Xiao Fei a family that could only share wealth but not suffering.
Life is so short and so long, who can guarantee that he can be smooth all his life!
Nangong Yue looked at Chang Huanwei with a smile, and for the first time left an impression on this Chang girl. This sister Chang Huaixi was a person who could come and go. It would be nice if Sister Fei could have more close friends in the future.
Afterwards, the female dependents were centered on Nangong Yue, greeting each other, looking at the harmony of happiness. As for everyone's thoughts, only they themselves knew.
Everyone sat for a moment, and An Zhihua proposed with a smile: "The Princess of the World, it is rare that today the little girl and the girls present have a chance to meet, and now there are still some days away from the banquet. The guests have not yet arrived, anyway, waiting is also It’s boring, it’s better to play a little game with a few girls and get familiar with each other. If the princess thinks that the girl’s idea is good, can she enjoy a lot of money?"
She smiled brighter and brighter than the sun outside the pavilion, and a pair of lovely dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, coupled with that pretty face and dark eyes, which made her feel good at first glance.
An Zhihua said that the girls were whispering and the atmosphere was alive.
Today's Peony Banquet is inevitable because of the presence of Princess Shizi. These girls will inevitably appear a little cramped. If you play a small game together, you can also relax.
Nangong Yue did not intend to disappoint, and asked with a smile: "How does the cousin painter want to play?"
Seeing that Nangong Yue had no objection, An Zhihua continued with confidence: "Drumming passes flowers. When the drums stop, whoever hydrangeas falls in will be chanting a poem, and whoever did not expect it in the five breaths, To be eliminated."
At this time, a lady on the side smiled and said: "Sister Princess, this idea is quite good, anyway, their girl's house to sit here with us is also boring, it is better to play by themselves."
"Yeah." Another lady echoed, and then proposed, "Since today is a peony feast, as I see it, this verse should also be a scene. It must be related to peony. Princess Shizi, what do you think ?"
"Mrs. Yu has a good idea," Nangong Yue sighed. "As for this colorful head, if anyone wins, I will reward her with a set of three-colored gemstones and red gold head."
With the colorful head rewarded by the concubine, the girls on the side were more excited and chattered with their friends.
An Zhihua quickly ordered the maid to take the hydrangea.
Nangong Yue turned her head to look at Xiao Fei and asked in a low voice: "Sister Fei..." Are you going to play together?
Xiao Fei shook her head, she was always quiet and unmoved, so she liked piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she was not interested in games such as drumming and passing flowers and throwing pots.
Nangong Yue brought Xiao Fei out also to let her relax and enjoy the flowers, not to be bored in the palace, so Nangong Yue did not plan to force her.
She smiled at Xiao Fei slightly and pointed to the flower gallery over there: "Sister Fei, I watched the wisteria flowers in that flower gallery bloom so well, it would be better for you to pick some and make some fresh tea, Isn't it the right time?" Xiao Fei didn't like strangers anyway, she might as well let her play around.
Xiao Fei's eyes lit up. She remembered that her sister-in-law told her that wisteria flowers are not only good-looking, but also medicinal and edible. They are used to make wisteria cakes and purple rice cakes. The ground has been well disturbed.
She was about to answer, but listened to the An Zhi painting beside her and smiled: "The Princess Shizi thought about going with me. I also prepared some purple rice cakes and wisteria flowers wine for a drink. , You must try it later."
Nangong Yue responded faintly.
Afterwards, Xiao Fei stood up, and Chang Huanwei beside her said enthusiastically: "Girl Xiao, let me go with you!"
The two girls left hand in hand, a blue and green back, slender and slim, looking like the sisters.
An Zhihua looked at Xiao Fei's back, his eyes flashed, and his heart became more affirmed with his previous guess.
This kind of thing can be ordered by a maidservant to do it, but let the little girl Xiao go... Sure enough, the princess of the world looked good to the little girl Xiao, but in fact just doing some superficial effort.
I am afraid that the concubine of the world brought the little girl Xiao here. The biggest purpose is to deliberately be cheap and humiliating.
She lowered her eyes halfway, covering the strange color in her eyes.
After a while, the ladies of Anfu successively put on wisteria cakes and purple rice cakes.
The husbands were tasting the pastries, and the two young ladies in a blue-and-purple dress hurriedly fetched the instruments and hydrangeas to be used for the drumming.
Although the game is called "Drumming Flowers", these famous families often use other musical instruments to replace the drums for elegance, such as piano, such as flute, such as Se, such as the pipa used in today's Anzhi painting.
However, what attracted everyone's attention was not the lute, but the red hydrangea in the hands of another little maid.
This is said to be a hydrangea, in fact, it is a huge red silk flower. The silk flower is also covered with a hollow gold spheroid. The gold spheroid is really exquisite. The gold-shaped wire outlines the flower-shaped lines, and the stamens are inlaid with rubies. And the rubies are wrapped in small balls of gold like small fingers. The craftsmanship is incredibly delicate and complicated. It is obviously from the hands of famous craftsmen, and it is also worth a lot!
When the girls saw the hydrangea, they couldn't help but look around. A girl in purple dress took it in her hand and looked at it again. She said with indulgence: "Miss An, where are you making this witch ball? I also think Ask someone to make one."
An Zhihua smiled slightly, with a trace of pride in his eyes, and said with a grin: "This is what my father ordered me to bring back from overseas. Dayu can't buy it."
Everyone knows that Anjia is engaged in maritime trade, and it is no wonder that such rare and precious things can be obtained.
Those girls knew that this witch ball was unique in Southern Xinjiang and even the whole of Yuyu, and I envied it more. They took it in their hands and appreciated it. After a while, they praised the hydrangea's ingenuity, while they praised the three girls for their elegance. .
After Ai Chi painted a smile, he greeted several girls to play under the flower shed.
The girls have rounded up a dozen pear blossom chairs into a large circle according to the number of girls. The girls are all like young birds that have been released from their cages.
For a time, the atmosphere was very lively, and all the ladies in the pavilion also looked at the direction of the flower shed and smiled with a smile.
Zhou Roujia sat on the left hand side of Nangong Yue and smiled: "Sister-in-law, this wisteria cake is well done. Although it is slightly sweeter, it is just right with Pu'er."
Looking at only half of the hot tea in the Nangong Yue tea cup, Zhou Roujia hurriedly ordered the maid to add tea to her, and delivered a small dish of wisteria cake to Nangong Yue.
The Anzhi painting under the flower shed not far away seems to be talking to a girl in pink beside her, but in fact has been paying attention to the movement of Nangong Yue, seeing Zhou Roujia whispering with Nangong Yue for a while, and then busy attentively After being busy, An Zhihua dismissed Zhou Roujia in his heart, and at the same time he was relieved.
As long as you can see what kind of person Shizi is.I'm afraid that the other party doesn't show up, so I don't know how to shoot.
An Zhihua had an idea in her heart. Seeing that the girls were sitting down one by one, they gave a command to the maid, and then began to drum and pass flowers.
"Zheng Zheng Zheng..."
When the powerful pipa sounded, the hydrangea was thrown from the hands of An Zhihua and fell into the hands of the girl in pink clothes on her right hand. The girl in pink clothes thought that she was the second, and was not nervous and slow. I intend to pass the hydrangea to the next girl. Who knows that the hydrangea hasn't let go, and the sound of the pipa stopped.
The girls and the lady were a little surprised, and startled, but An Zhihua smiled, and compared with the lower right hand playfully, reminded: "Sister Yu, five breathing time." Five slender jade fingers have been put away in the discourse One became four.
The girl was just a little surprised, and soon reacted. She casually said a verse that everyone said was catchy: "Only the peony has a true national appearance."
The simpler the game is, the simpler it is, and the more it comes to the end, most of the verses have been recited, and then the more tested the people.
After Yu girl read the poem, the sound of pipa sounded again, and the golden and red hydrangea flicked together among the girls' hands...
The girls often read poems such as "Who Doesn't Love Peony", "A Peerless Peony", "Pink Peony", and so on. Some of the girls were out of luck because they were in a hurry. .
The maids moved the empty chairs from time to time. After a joss stick, there were only nine chairs under the flower shed, that is, nine girls, including An Zhi painting.
At the moment of the game, most of the eloquent peony poems of the girls have been read by other girls. Although they have not reached the point where no poems are available, beware of other girls preemptively saying their prepared poems. Even though this is just a small game, the atmosphere unconsciously becomes a little nervous.
After Yu girl reads "Ya calls Huazhong as the first crown, and the elderly account for the broken spring", the pipa sounds again...
At this time, Xiao Fei and Chang Huanwei, who had picked a basket of wisteria flowers, said that they came back with a smile. In the flower gallery, looking at the lake, smelling the fragrance of flowers, picking wisteria, it really made people feel relaxed.Chang Huanwei also asked Xiao Fei to go to Huanxi Pavilion to enjoy painting and tea.
The two girls walked along the flower gallery while talking and laughing.
An Zhihua's eyes quickly glanced at Xiao Fei's eyes, and his eyes flashed quickly, and then quickly made a gesture. The girl who played the pipa immediately grasped the moment, and suddenly held the pipa string at the moment when the hydrangea fell into the hands of An Zhihua. .
"clang--"
An Zhihua seemed to whisper nervously, the hydrangea in his hand came out, slipped in the air, fell to the ground, and then rolled towards Xiao Fei and Chang Huanwei, and rolled to the distance Xiao A place one or two feet away...
An Zhihua got up quickly, stroked her skirt, and then blessed Xiao Xiaofu with a lively tongue and said with a smile: "Small girl Xiao, I slipped my hand just a moment ago. Could you please help me pick it up?" "
An Zhihua said saucyly and casually, as if he only asked Xiao Fei to do a favor, but the husbands present were not stupid. In a flash, he heard provocative from this sentence of An Zhihua. taste.
It’s not that there is no maid of Anfu near here. An Zhihua had to let Xiao Fei’s majestic Wangfu daughter-in-law bend over to pick up her hydrangea. Isn’t that a deliberate insult?
It seems that the three girls in Anjia looked lively, but in fact they weren't fuel-efficient lamps.
However, most of the ladies are also waiting to watch a good show, or take a tea cup, or eat snacks, or pretend to look at flowers. They all want to see what attitude Princess Shizi has towards Xiao Fei, and Mrs. Yao and Tian Da Madam and they know a little bit about Nangong Yue's life, knowing that Shizi's temperament is by no means a person who has fallen into the rock. Anzhi's painting may have an intention to please Shizi, but it should be self-defeating.
Xiao Fei looked at An Zhi's paintings coldly, his expression unchanged, neither irritated nor humiliated.
She was no longer the former "Xiao Fei" who was a solitary admirer, and of course she felt a little taunt, a little cold, even a bit malicious in the eyes around her.
An Zhihua and Xiao Fei looked at each other and smiled brighter and brighter. Fifteen Fanghua girls only needed a smile and makeup, which was more charming than those precious jewelry powdered clothes.
At this moment, time seemed to stagnate for a moment, and the surroundings were silent, as if the wind was still.
It's so deceiving!Chang Huanwei frowned slightly and stepped forward, but was held down by Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei's eyes moved away from An Zhi's paintings, and he looked towards Nangong Yue in the pavilion.
Although Xiao Fei doesn't care about setting up a home, after all, An's home is a relative of Big Brother...
Nangong Yue smiled slightly at Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei had a deep heart in an instant.
An Zhihua also looked at Nangong Yue with Xiao Fei's eyes, and naturally saw Nang Gongyue's subtle expressions and movements, but thought that Shizi was a compliment to herself, and she was more proud.
At this time, Xiao Fei moved.
An Zhihua had a deeper smile at the corner of his mouth, only waiting for Xiao Fei to lean over and pick up the ball, but he didn't want Xiao Fei to step on the hydrangea directly.
"Kap--"
The hollow golden witch ball is so delicate as a delicate flower that it can’t stand tossing at all. Xiao Fei's random foot went down, and the golden wedge ball was instantly squashed. The original treasure worth thousands of dollars was almost worthless in an instant. By now, only the few big rubies were still shining in the sunlight.
The surroundings were quiet again, and everyone could see that this was Xiao Fei's return, simple and rude, and a trace of contempt, as if saying to An Zhihua, in your identity, it is not worthy of my tongue!
