Huaiyu is slightly cool

The eldest princess tiptoed to see Zhou Huai who was curled up on the bed and curled up on the outside. Seeing that the other party was breathing steadily and seemed to be in a deep sleep, she wanted to back out, but she accidentally saw Zhou Huai's fingers on the brocade quilt. ' with a sound, then bent down and stared into Zhou Huai's eyes.After a while, the eldest princess sneered suddenly, and sure enough, Zhou Huai's eyelashes moved slightly, and he turned over to lie flat, but he still didn't open his eyes.

Seeing that Zhou Huai was still pretending to be asleep, the eldest princess stretched out her hand to pinch her nose.At this moment, Zhou Huai screamed: "Run!" Before he finished speaking, he sat up abruptly and bumped head-to-head with the eldest princess.

After a muffled sound, Zhou Huai covered his head with stars in his eyes, looked at the eldest princess who was sitting on the ground rubbing her head with one hand and covering her buttocks, and tentatively called out: "Your Highness?" and hurriedly got out of bed to help the eldest princess, He still said: "When did His Highness come, why are you sitting on the ground?"

The eldest princess put down her hand covering her buttocks, and rubbed her red and swollen forehead with the other hand. Seeing that Zhou Huai was trying to fool this matter like a normal person, she suppressed her anger and asked her, "Where did you go all afternoon and night yesterday?" ?”

When the eunuch came to report Zhou Huai's disappearance in the Imperial Garden yesterday, more than half an hour had passed since Zhou Huai's real disappearance.After the eldest princess knew about it, she didn't dare to say anything, so she sent someone to go to the imperial garden in the name of looking for hairpins until she found the palace gate to get the key before returning, and she stayed up until dawn in fear.As soon as the palace gate outside was opened, the eldest princess took people to turn the imperial garden upside down, but she still didn't see Zhou Huai's shadow, and was about to ask Queen Wei for help, but an eunuch came to report that Zhou Huai Huai Ping returned from the outside without incident, so she hurried to find him.Seeing that Zhou Huai was asleep, I was going to go to work first, and I would come to ask her later, but seeing Zhou Huai pretending to be asleep, the eldest princess suffocated the fire that had been suppressed all night, and it went straight to her forehead.He wanted to teach Zhou Huai a lesson, but he saw that the air pressure around him seemed wrong, like a small beast that suddenly grew fangs overnight, with a vicious aura that wanted to choose someone and devour it.The eldest princess was a little puzzled, so she suppressed the fire, and asked Zhou Huai in a cold tone what he did yesterday.

"When I was playing in the imperial garden, I found a secret passage, which was criss-crossed, and I was trapped inside." Zhou Huai made up nonsense, and in order to enhance the credibility, he showed the night pearl to the eldest princess, mouthing Li also said: "Look, this bead was found in it."

The eldest princess only glanced at Ye Mingzhu lightly, but instead looked seriously at Zhou Huai, stared into his eyes for a long time, then nodded slightly and followed her words: "I heard that when the palace was built in the previous dynasty, a lot of repairs were made. The secret passage has traps inside, so don't enter it indiscriminately next time."

Zhou Huai looked at the eldest princess in surprise when he heard the words, and suddenly smiled and opened his hands and said, "Yes, it's too scary, I want to hug."

The eldest princess didn't smile, nor did she make any movements.Ever since Zhou Huai opened her eyes just now, she noticed something was wrong with the other person's eyes.After careful identification, I found that the most eye-catching eyes of the other party, although still clear and bright, seemed to be a little less clear inside, appearing dim, and even faintly confused and depressed, no longer the eyes that used to be A spirit of high spirits.The eldest princess couldn't guess what happened to make her become like this, but Zhou Huai, who was full of lies, obviously couldn't ask anything. Even if she wanted to continue to get to the bottom of it, the other party would just make up more lies. .

Zhou Huai withdrew his hand in embarrassment, scratched his head, and went to the vanity mirror to tidy his hair.At this time Yunling came in with a basin of water from outside, her eyes were still red and swollen.She was sullen, put down the basin, said nothing, silently folded Zhou Huai's clothes and quilt, and wiped the table with a rag, without saluting to the eldest princess or looking at Zhou Huai.

The eldest princess looked at Yun Ling, then at Zhou Huai, approached the dressing table and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with her?"

"Probably angry."

"Can't you see it as Bengong? Bengong is asking her why she is angry!"

Zhou Huai combed her hair, tied it loosely behind her back with a headband, and said, "As soon as I entered the door, she came up and asked me: 'Where did Miss go last night? Did you get hurt? Qingchuan went to look for you. I didn’t call back all night, didn’t you two stay together?’ I was in a daze at the time, so I didn’t call her back, and slept on the bed first. When I woke up, she was like this.”

After Zhou Huai finished speaking, she spread her hands, her voice was not low at all, and Yun Ling who was on the side threw the rag, and avoided it with a dark face.

The eldest princess looked at Zhou Huai speechlessly, shook her head, said nothing, and hurried out again.

Yesterday, Empress Wei said that she would hold a banquet for her return to the palace, and asked her to come over earlier this morning, but Zhou Huai kept her awake all night.Seeing that Zhou Huai was fine now, the eldest princess hurried over, but before she reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw Yunling bringing four maids around seventeen or eighteen years old into the courtyard holding a big wooden box, and she went straight to Zhou Huai. Huai house in the past.

The eldest princess looked at the faces of those people, and their walking posture was light and steady, and they seemed to have practiced kung fu, so she took a few more glances, and she didn't leave until she saw those court ladies entering Zhou Huai's room.

When the female officer in the Queen's Palace came to send invitations to invite Zhou Huai to the Empress's Weiyang Palace to attend the luncheon for the Eldest Princess, Zhou Huai was still bitterly looking at the thick stack of drawings in his hand, There were also a lot of papers piled up in a mess on the table, and there was still half a box of drawings in the wooden box next to it that had not been taken out.

When Zhou Huai heard this, he squinted at the four serious court ladies beside him. Seeing that they were expressionless and did not express anything, he immediately threw the blueprint in his hand into the wooden box, and went to change his clothes again. So I went to Weiyang Palace alone with this legitimate reason of being lazy.

At this time, the spring is bright and beautiful, a hundred flowers are blooming, and the spring is full of vitality.In Weiyang Palace, many princes, grandsons and noble ladies have come, ranging in age from eight or nine to fifteen or sixteen years old, chatting or fighting in groups in corridors, waterside pavilions, flower pavilions, etc. .Aunt Qing next to the empress was busy arranging tables, chopsticks and cups. The court ladies and eunuchs in the courtyard were busy. Boys in brocade clothes and jade crowns and girls with tinkling bells came and went among the flowers in the courtyard, and the sound of laughter passed through. The pavilions and pavilions with carved columns and painted buildings spread far away.

Zhou Huai, who was dressed in a light blue skirt with embroidered ruffles and a pair of plain shoes with pearl embroidered on her feet, did not attract everyone's attention with her low-key or even plain attire.She walked past the groups of young girls in red and willows, looking for the only eldest princess she knew.But it wasn't until the banquet started that the eldest princess and a group of colorful and charming little girls came out of the room.

The banquet is divided into two places, one inside and one outside.The inner banquet was for Empress Wei and concubines, as well as the emperor's sisters and some ministers' wives.The outer banquet was held in the Yun Lanxuan in the courtyard, and it was hosted by the children headed by the eldest princess. At this time, there were no adults watching, and this group of half-grown children was even more indulgent. The banquet was noisy and noisy. Shocking.

At the banquet, between the cups and cups, there were witty remarks, which was very lively.When someone presents a poem for the occasion of the banquet, everyone's emotions are even higher, and the atmosphere is warm, and someone takes the opportunity to propose a drinking order.

Wei Xuan, the elder princess's cousin, saw the green lotus leaves in the pool next to the pavilion, and the spring breeze was blowing, as if they were dancing, and said: "The water is wearing a windbreaker, such a beautiful scene, why not use the 'lotus' as an order."

The younger brother of Wei Xuan's mother, Wei Cheng, immediately answered, "It's good, but there are many poems with the word 'Lotus', but this word is not easy to start. How about this, the first sentence contains the word 'Lotus', The next family starts from the last character of the previous sentence, regardless of poetry, music and Fu, as long as you can catch it, take a sip after you finish it, and then say a sentence with the word "荷". The order is from left to right. Her Royal Highness is the commander, how about the first order?"

Chen Zixuan, the grandson of Chen Wei, stood up and said, "This is too simple. What's the point of not punishing a few? It's better to make it more difficult! The last word of the next sentence is the beginning of the sentence, but the sentence must also contain the word 'water. How about one of the four characters for 'Pei Fengshang'?"

Everyone laughed and said, "With this addition, some people will definitely be drunk today."

Duan Shuzhang, the youngest son of Duan Jie of the Imperial Academy, said with a smile, "It's okay to be drunk. Isn't there a poem that says: When drunk, one sleeps under flowers? How can one be a celebrity if one is not drunk and lies among flowers?"

Everyone looked at Duan Shuzhang and laughed, and Fang Haojie, the son of the Fang family who sat at the head of him, closed his folding fan and clapped his hands and said: "There are no penalties yet! In my opinion, there are two simple rules: one is not to make up things, Second, anyone who can’t be ordered to escape will be force-fed, and the order will not be recognized. What do you think?”

Everyone smiled and nodded, and then asked the eldest princess to give orders.The eldest princess did not refuse, she tapped on the wine cup, and gave the order with a smile: "Sparkling lotus blossoms, and the pavilion emerges from the water." After reading this, the eldest princess paused for a moment, glanced at Wei Xuan, and then continued to read: "A solitary stem draws green, and two shadows share dividends."

Sitting next to the eldest princess is Wei Xuan, who looked at each other with a smile, and immediately opened his mouth to receive: "Red mane, brocade mane, windy horse, yellow lace, green silk, and electric purple horse. Ben Xing is in the flower field, the first moon Fly here to draw the head of the stick." After taking a sip of wine, he looked at his close friend Zhang Yan who was sitting first, smiled and said: "After the light rain, the little lotus is turning over, and the pomegranate is about to bloom. The jade basin is slender. Find out the spring, the Qiongzhu is broken but round."

"Yuan?" Zhang Jie frowned and thought hard. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help coquettishly saying to Wei Xuan: "Sister, you are bullying me again. There are poems that start with Yuan. I know there are 'The round cover returns to heaven and earth, and Fang Yu falls into the wasteland." ’, ‘Yuanhao’s voice is calm and fresh, Kong Yan’s broadness and obstinacy are nothing’, but how can there be a poem with the words “Water Pei Fengshang” in the sentence?”

Wei Xuan scolded her with a smile: "It's a pity that I still have the heart to let you go, but you don't know a good heart. Have you forgotten the sentence 'Yuanguang low moon palace, broken shadows chaotic wind'?"

Zhang Jie listened, her face was slightly red, but she said softly: "Thank you sister for helping me pick it up, I will say the next sentence directly." After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone to speak, he quickly read: "The pulse of the lotus, the tears and the blushing Facing each other, leaning against the green cloud and crescent moon, the curved ring is just like a frown."

Everyone else laughed and said repeatedly: "What you say doesn't count, the officer will punish her quickly." Someone yelled: "I wanted to be lazy and play tricks at the beginning, and I will be fined one more cup. If the order is violated, both of them will be fined. "

Zhang Jie had no choice but to pick up the cup and drank it down. Looking at Chen Zixuan who was leaving the table, he thought that it was him who added the checkpoint, so he provocatively said to everyone: "If Zixuan can accept my order, I will accept a cup of punishment. "Speaking of this, she rolled her eyes and looked at Chen Zixuan with a smile: "I will toast you again, Mr. Chen."

The atmosphere suddenly became more active, and everyone hurriedly asked her next family, Chen Zixuan, to take her drinking order.

Chen Zixuan showed no signs of fear, raised his hand and raised his glass first as a respect, then poured himself another glass of wine, and then said: "I can't catch it."

After speaking, he raised his neck, took another glass, and then sat there and waved his hands to signal Wei Zheng, who was leaving home, to take the drink order.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then all of them laughed in disbelief.

Wei Zheng, who was only eight or nine years old, felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, frowning and thinking hard, but he remembered a few poems that started with the word "良", such as "Everything is like gold, small and light, and slightly moist will melt into Ziyuying" "The sample comes from Tongchuan, and the words are formed because of hidden places", but none of these have one of the four characters "Shui Pei Fengshang". Chen Zixuan must have thought of it just now, so he didn't say it.But it is rare to see a poem with a sample word at the beginning, and he couldn't think of a suitable one for a while, so he turned his attention to his sister Wei Xuan, but Wei Xuan was dangling in Zhang Jie's arms, and he didn't even see his eyes asking for help.Wei Zheng scratched his head and was about to admit defeat. Fang Haojie, who was sitting next to him, coughed lightly, and then pointed his fan at the two words 'Yang Shui' written with wine on his table.Wei Zheng looked at it suspiciously, and then said happily, "Yangshui goes east, Zhangliu goes straight south."

After hearing this, everyone clapped their hands and applauded.Only Chen Zixuan asked suspiciously: "Does it count if the characters are different?"

Fang Haojie rushed to say: "Why don't you count? You didn't say you have to answer with the same word just now!"

Those who hadn't yet had their turn also stood by Fang Haojie's side and nodded for him.When others saw it, they had no choice but to acquiesce.

Seeing that he had 'escaped a catastrophe', Wei Zheng hurriedly took a sip of wine, and said, "The green lotus grows in a secluded spring, and the sun is bright and fresh. Autumn flowers emit green water, and dense leaves are filled with green smoke."

The drinking order went on in such a chaotic manner, those who were punished and those who were respected drank a lot, and after drinking a glass of wine, they scattered in all directions within a moment of being slightly drunk.

Zhou Huai, who was in the corner, watched the scene at the banquet and rubbed her forehead. During the banquet, everyone praised each other endlessly, but she only felt bored.

There are few scholars in Jingguo, but most of the talented and talented women who are erudite are born in noble families.This drinking order is just a glimpse of the leopard.Today, those people who are beautiful, elegant, talented, and brilliant today will also become influential figures of this era in the future.Comparing myself again, I really lived my whole life in vain.Zhou Huai covered his head, which was probably just an ornament, and lowered his head to glance at the princes and grandsons, Haoyuejia and the others. He looked around, looking for an opportunity to leave the table secretly.

The Zhou family has a prominent status in the Jing family, but today many princesses and princesses from the royal family have come, and they are ranked according to their closeness and family status. She can only sit at the bottom, and those with lower status than her are Sit in another place.And she was too young, everyone would gather around the eldest princess if they had the chance, and no one wanted to talk to her, at most they would just look at the slap marks on her face that hadn't disappeared.Zhou Huai was not in the mood to take the initiative to talk, so she sat in the corner alone, watching those high-spirited teenagers reciting poems and composing poems, and looking at the eldest princess who seemed to be moved by the stars. pouted.She had already eaten half full, and now that the order had passed most of the time, she took a plate of fresh fruit and sneaked away while no one was paying attention.
