God's plan to save

Chapter 52

Xu was not the only one who was so startled that he almost vomited blood when Yan Xiaoqi brought back the clothes and jewelry. Luping and Xiangling happily took the bag, and when they opened it, they froze in place.

The neatly wrapped head and face are carefully laid in the box, with hairpins and rings, and there is a step like a bird's tail, which is automatic without wind.

However, the gleaming golden color and the large pieces of red coral and precious stones inlaid on it made the two maids feel the strong local style for the first time.

Doesn't her lady like the simple and elegant?Why did the taste suddenly change so much?
What about the tacit agreement?Is it tacit agreement?
The two turned their heads powerlessly to look at Yan Xiaoqi who was sitting at the table drinking tea, feeling a sense of powerlessness in their hearts again.

Tomorrow's spring banquet, is it possible that her lady will dress up like this?
The two big maids, who didn't dare to think about it at all, checked Yan Xiaoqi's jewelry box again, hoping to make up a decent set of jewelry, which would just match the bright red outfit.

The Spring Banquet was decreed by the emperor, hosted by the prince of the current dynasty, and assisted by several officials. No matter the scale or the number of guests, it can be regarded as the highest-level banquet in the capital except for the palace banquets for Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year.

Many officials, especially those with low grades, have no intention of their children being selected. They only hope to show their face, be favored by nobles, and be promoted secretly.

Yan Xiaoqi didn't know what kind of disturbance Zhang Yu's actions had caused in the capital. Dressed up by Luping and Xiangling, she walked out of the Hou Mansion with her head raised, dressed in bright red like a bride to be married.

The lotus garden in spring, with sparkling blue waves, the color of the lotus leaves stretched on the river surface has not yet turned dark green under the nourishment of the sun, and each leaf floats lightly and shallowly on the lake, showing shy sharp corners .

All the winding paths and corridors in the garden have already been repaired and cleaned, and the tables in the main hall where the banquet is held have also been neatly arranged.

The road leading to Furong Garden has been extremely crowded since the morning. Yan Xiaoqi sat in the carriage and felt the carriage stop and go. The road that could have been covered in half an hour took twice as long. .

The carriages started to line up at the corner, and moved to the door a little bit, and everyone in the carriage got up and got off.Banquet attendants of this scale are not allowed to be brought into the garden, they can only wait in the carriage, and are taken by the guards in front of the door to the designated parking space in the distance to wait.

The three girls of the right age in the Hou's mansion walked slowly into the garden behind the second master Zhao Shu and the third master Zhao Mo.The gentle spring breeze blows on the face, and the new leaves of the weeping willows on the riverside are less than a finger, surrounded by the green shade of Xinrong, surrounded by fragrant clothes, shadows on the temples, and emerald bead rings, and the maids guarding the door are all dressed in a calm and appropriate manner.

Yan Xiaoqi was careful not to turn herself into Grandma Liu, but on the way to the main hall, the scenery in the garden still made her lose her mind a little.

Aristocratic ladies in twos and threes get together, or stand on the banks of the Qujiang River and look at the koi in the river, or sit in the corridor, chat secretly with a fan behind their faces, or walk on the tree-lined path, enjoying the scenery in the garden. , That coziness made Yan Xiaoqi feel countless desires.

"The banquet will not start until a little longer. There are many people today, so don't wander around, and follow me into the hall." Zhao Shu stood in front of the three of them with a sullen face, his aura of being an official for many years leaked out like domineering , so that the three inexperienced little girls couldn't help nodding.

Zhao Shu glanced at Yan Xiaoqi, who was extremely flamboyant, and always felt that this girl had been a little weird in the past few months.

From the moment he entered the park, he noticed that everyone who passed by Yan Xiaoqi couldn't help raising their eyes to look at her.

On Bai Ruochuxue's cheeks, the black pupils are like ink dots, and the long eyelashes flutter unconsciously, covering the faint eyes, and the red lips are unconsciously pursed to reflect a rosy luster , her long black hair was pulled into a flying bun by the skillful Xiang Ling, with the set of red coral hairpin rings against the bright red dress, like the most beautiful hibiscus flower on the branches in this spring, proud and eye-catching.

Yan Xiaoqi didn't care about others' scrutiny. She was very satisfied with her eye-catching clothes. She didn't know if she would have the opportunity to meet Zhang Yu alone today. If she couldn't find a suitable opportunity, she could only rely on this A way to stand out, so that he can spot her at a glance in the crowd.

At three moments later, the crown prince and the eighth prince appeared at the entrance of the main hall under the guidance of the servants. Everyone in the hall stood up to greet them. Yan Xiaoqi stood behind Zhao Shu and bowed together with everyone.

A shocking sight swept straight from the door, Yan Xiaoqi clasped her palms tightly, a trace of uneasiness flashed across her heart, even if she didn't know what her ex was like, she could still tell from the mouths of the two maids that it was a well-rounded man. People, how can such a character easily make enemies with others?
It wasn't the trouble caused by the ex, it was for her. Could it be that Sun Bei? !

Yan Xiaoqi sat back on her seat and hid her body behind Zhao Shu. At this moment, she no longer wondered whether Zhang Yu could see her in the crowd at a glance. It seems that nothing can get out.

The maids entered neatly through the side door of the main hall, and one table after another began to present dishes one by one, such as browned crispy duck, milky white fish balls, and oily barbecue. . .These dishes that usually excite Yan Xiaoqi, who loves meat, have lost their allure.

The sound of the piano was clanging, and the enchanting dancer appeared in the middle of the hall with her pipa in her arms. This was a rare scene, but it made her even more restless.

That murderous gaze always swept past her from time to time, but she didn't dare to look for the source of that gaze at all, and could only hide behind people like an ostrich.

At the end of Shen Shi, when the banquet was coming to an end, the crown prince sitting at the head finally got up with a smile and said loudly, "It is rare for the Lord to go down the mountain once in a hundred years, so all the nobles will go with me to welcome you."

There are some things that need not be said too clearly. People in the officialdom know what they are hearing. They smile and raise their hands to give in to each other. You and I walked out of the hall with your daughters and came to the bank of Qujiang.

Behind Xiyu were two young disciples in green and gray Taoist uniforms, standing with their hands behind their backs by the river, with a bun on the top of their heads, and their long hair hanging behind them like a brocade. It was blown with a hunting sound, as if it was going to ride the wind.

The prince led the crowd to the bottom of the stairs, stopped and bowed respectfully: "See the Lord."

Xi Yu turned around, raised his lowered eyelids casually, his plain face was like the thousands of lotus flowers on the Qujiang River in midsummer, beautiful and enchanting, staring dumbfounded at the people who had no time to salute.

"His Royal Highness, you don't have to be so polite," Xi Yu waved his hand casually, "Thank you for showing me like your father."

The prince didn't say much, just bowed and made another big gift, Yan Xiaoqi couldn't help curling his lips when he saw it, it's so well done!
