Get on the wrong sedan chair and marry the right wolf

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the month, and the arranged princess flower banquet was held in the imperial garden of the palace as scheduled.Since ancient times, if there is a situation where women are brought to the palace to have a banquet together, even if there is no special event in the harem, a banquet will be set up to entertain the women of the former ministers.Adhering to the rule of different seats for men and women, if there is no banquet in the harem, gauze tents will be set up on the banquets of the previous court, and the female relatives brought by each minister will go to the banquet with their husbands or fathers behind the gauze tents. But such a situation basically did not happen after Emperor Yulong came to the throne.

Although Daxia currently has four female officials in the court, because these four female officials except Wei Yueyan and Qu Quan already have wives in the house, and the husbands of the other two are also officials in the same dynasty, so they went to the court in the previous court. Others at the banquet can't criticize it.

Ling Qiufan came down to the imperial garden under the guidance of the palace maids. There were not many court ladies and family members who attended the table early, but almost everyone gathered together to talk.

The words are nothing more than an upgraded version of folk chatter. Which official's daughter married the servant, which official's official married an official of the household department? The hairpin was custom-made at a high price, which girl's satin is woven from the rare ice silkworm raised in the north, which is a rare and rare material... Ling Qiufan has a cold temper and doesn't like to talk to others In addition, Wei Yueyan's status is based on the record, even if she wants to build a relationship, Wei Yueyan will handle it by herself in the previous court, without her wife's trouble, so she just sat down silently according to her heart, and didn't want to What is the intersection with these women and ladies.

She only cares about one thing. This time, all officials above the fourth rank are required to attend the banquet. Qu Quan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, is also invited. Since Qu Quan went to the farewell banquet of the previous dynasty, her own sister, Ling Xueji, the wife of the Minister of Justice, was naturally also invited to the Princess Flower Banquet.Shangshu's mansion is closer to the imperial palace than the general's mansion, I have already been here, why haven't I come here yet?

While thinking about it, a lady in turmeric clothes and wearing emerald feathers seemed to have noticed Ling Qiufan, she twisted her handkerchief and pressed the corner of her mouth after drinking tea, turned around and said with a smile: "This is a dangerous woman." The general's wife?"

Hearing this, Ling Qiufan paused the hand holding the teacup, and turned his face to meet a face in his early thirties, but it was obvious that he had carefully maintained his face so that his real age could not be seen.

"Exactly, what's the matter with this lady?"

----------------

In fact, Ling Xueji had arrived at the place a long time ago. She just walked to the place not far from the banquet when she was smelled of rouge and powder. She really didn't want to get too close to those people, so the maid took her to a similar place. He waved his hand and let the maid go down, indicating that he knew the place and didn't need to lead the way anymore, and rewarded each of the maids with the broken silver that Qu Quan asked her to prepare in his sleeve, and the little maid left happily after getting the reward, left and right These ladies and noble ladies were all going to attend the banquet, and Princess Zhaoren did not come, so it would not be considered a breach of duty not to bring people to the banquet.

So Ling Xueji, who found an opening, happily wandered around the imperial garden alone.

As the name suggests, the flower viewing banquet is a feast for appreciating flowers. Although everyone knows that the flower viewing banquet cannot really let a group of people sit there and look at beautiful flowers, but the meaning still needs to be done, so in today's imperial garden , many precious flowers have already been transferred to the place where the banquet is and nearby by careful gardeners. Put it all the way near the palaces of various empresses and princesses.

In addition, these female family members in the harem are usually leisurely and panic, so they prefer to plant some flowers and plants outside the palace gate or in the palace, so these flowers in the imperial garden will also form a flower road. Naturally, people can enjoy the flowers along this road, but from ancient times to the present, there are very few women and noble ladies who attend this kind of harem flower feast. They do not want to make friends with nobles, help their husbands pave the way and expand contacts, but concentrate on seeing flowers .So these flowers have never been cared about.

But today is different, Ling Xueji just loves to look at flowers instead of talking, so she looked at the flowers she knew and didn't know all the way, wandered around the entire imperial garden, and finally followed her most pleasing to the eye. Hua walked into a courtyard that looked a little quieter than the banquet area.

Not for anything else, just because the flowers here are orchids in full bloom.

Qu Quan's favorite flower.

"Oh, Que'er, be careful."

"It's okay, it's okay, I can pick it up right away."

"Forget it, it's just a kite. I'll just make another one later. Come down quickly, it's too high up. Oh, Yan'er, put the ladder over there!"

"It doesn't matter—ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

"Finch!"

A slightly sharp girl's voice reached Ling Xueji who was concentrating on admiring the flowers. She followed the sound to the courtyard separated by a wall, and suddenly saw a girl in white palace clothes running anxiously. A towering ancient tree, such an ancient tree can only be found in remote mountains and old forests, it is not surprising in the palace.Ling Xueji took a closer look, but saw a little girl with double rings standing under the tree, she was younger than the girl in the palace dress, because she was too young and her stature was not mature, she didn't stand under the ancient tree for a while. see.

And beside that little girl, there is actually another one, dressed exactly like her, with emerald green clothes and double rings on her head, it looks like she just fell from a tree, it has been a while since Ling Xueji heard her cry just now , I haven't stood up until now, so it can be seen that I fell hard.Seeing another little girl squatting beside her and trying to help her up, Ling Xueji quickly ran over.

"If you can't help her up immediately, you will be injured again."

Yan'er was about to help him up, but found that a girl in a begonia red dress suddenly came here, she looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, as soon as she came, she pressed Que'er in place, preventing her from moving.

"who are you?"

Ling Xueji didn't care about her, and immediately went to check on the little girl who was injured from the fall. She had suffered countless injuries since elementary school, and she had her own way of dealing with injuries of various degrees.When she didn't move, she checked the person from head to toe, "She twisted her bone, and I need to help her reattach it. You hold her down for me."

At this time, the girl in the white palace dress also came to the front.

【Qixi Festival】Four short jokes, two candies and two knives

1. When the Qixi Festival comes, the garden of the prefect’s mansion in Wujun is full of flowers of pagoda tree flowers like snow, and the sound of the waves is endless, reflecting the moonlight in the middle of the sky, as if to lead people into a fairyland in a dream.A wisp of fragrant mist drifted away from the desk under the moonlight. On the desk were tea, wine, five sons and other offerings. 16-year-old Ling Qiu sat on the side of the desk and straightened her dress, and then got on the low table beside her. Take a piece of cork, on which nine silver needles are erected with the needle points facing down, called: Nine Tail Needles.The delicate and slender catkins attract five-color silk threads, and the thread ends are familiarly threaded.

"Sister! Sister, what are you doing!!"

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Ling Qiufan's fingers holding the silk thread shook, and the eight holes that had been penetrated came off four holes, Ling Qiufan sighed, turned around helplessly, "Xue Ji."

"Sister, sister, what fun are you playing, I can see it all!"

Ling Xueji approached him, but saw two small round boxes in Ling Qiufan's hands as if by magic, "This thing is fun, do you want Xueji to play with my sister?"

Ling Xueji cheered and took one of them and opened it and said "wow", and quickly closed it, and said with lingering fear: "Sister, why is there a big spider in this?"

"This is called spider web begging for cleverness." Ling Qiu smiled and handed a thin piece of paper to his sister, "You put your horoscope in it, if the spider web is dense and orderly tomorrow, it shows that you are a girl with ingenuity and ingenuity." , if tomorrow the spider's web is sparse and messy, it means that you should practice your female celebrity."

"Ah." Ling Xueji was taken aback, "It's so boring, then I won't play."

Ling Qiufan pulled the younger sister who was about to leave back and sat down, "I planned to do it for you, but since you're here, you can do it yourself."

Ling Xueji had no choice but to act according to the words, put away the spider box and worshiped Vega together with Ling Qiufan. The two sisters knelt side by side in front of the desk and made a wish to Vega from afar.

Ling Xueji murmured quickly, then crawled to Ling Qiufan's side, and opened one eye playfully, "Sister, sister, what wish did you make?"

Ling Qiufan ignored her, and after making a wish, Fang said: "I won't tell you." Even so, his cheeks were flushed.

Ling Xueji let out a long "Oh~~", "I know if you don't tell me, my sister must be looking forward to marrying a good man!"

"Xue Ji! You, what are you talking about..." Ling Qiufan, who was cold and self-sufficient, was rarely red from the roots of his ears to his neck.

Ling Xueji leaned over and looked at her slyly and smiled: "Sister, don't you want to know what wish I made?"

"What else can you wish for?"

"I made a good wish!" Ling Xueji raised her face with her hands behind her back, "But wish, it won't work if you say it out! I won't tell you even if you beg me!"

"Pfft, ghost spirit."

"Sister, what did you say to me!"

"Little ghost spirit."

"Ah! Sister, pinch my face! Stop!!"

Perhaps Ling Qiufan will never know that the 14-year-old Ling Xueji's first wish on Chinese Valentine's Day was not for herself.

——I would like to exchange my marriage for a good marriage for my sister.

2. Wanxia Mountain, Tiannv Temple

16-year-old Qu Quan was lying in front of the desk, holding a half-read "Han Feizi" in his hand, but staring blankly at the dark sky outside the window with his amber eyes.Tonight is the Chinese Valentine's Day, when you look up you can't see the stars, and when you bow your head you can't see the human world. The turbid air that has been born since the beginning of the opening of the primordial world envelopes the whole world, until the sun is dark and the moon is covered with dust.

She couldn't help but think of the previous year's Qixi Festival, when her mother would wash her hair with tree sap, hoping that she would have a happy relationship, and would take her to worship the Weaver Girl and wear colored threads, things that ordinary daughters would do on Qixi Festival. The same never fell.She even knelt down on the ground sincerely every year, praying to Empress Zhinu to bless her and her family in good health.

However, the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.

It is the third year that the family has been destroyed.

"Quan'er." The silver-haired old woman came to Qu Quan with a stick of incense, wiped the sweat from her forehead and sat down next to her, "It's so late, I hurt my eyes carefully. After worshiping the Weaver Girl, I will rest." Come down."

Qu Quan took the incense stick from the old woman's hand, took advantage of the situation to hold the rough and dry palms, and put them in his palms: "Quan'er knows what she has, grandma should go to bed early."

"That's fine." Seeing that she was determined, the old woman didn't persuade her much, "Grandma will worship with you before you rest."

Qu Quan supported the old woman all the way in silence, when he saw the lame table that looked like it would collapse in the wind, there were two celestial maidens on the table, and a quarter of the apples were gnawed off by mice. It was as if a hole had been pried open in the heart, and the hot liquid gushed out, full of sadness.

"I will not worship Zhinu this year."

The seventh day of July...

"Bai Kuixing."

Qu Quan's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he knelt down on the ground in spite of the wind blowing his sleeves, unable to bow down.

————————Still a knife, eat with caution————————

3. It is said that on the night of Qixi Festival, the sky, the earth and the moon are bright, and it is a good night together.

The 19-year-old Wei Yueyan couldn't see the bright moon. She only felt the moonlight tonight. It was extremely cold, as if possessed by a wild mountain ghost. Bone erosion all over the body.

Probably because she faced a burial mound.

The joint burial of her father, uncle, and brothers.

She moved her body slightly, and she was slightly involved in the weird herpes that had covered nearly half of her body. Even after years of fighting, she couldn't help moaning in pain.Half a month has passed since that day, during which time she has completely lost the will to live, and she has lived to this day only because of the human instinct to survive.

There was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and only in this kind of dead of night, could he have such a rare saneness, and knew to collect the bones of his relatives and bury them in one place.Only when the world is silent like this, will she think about that extravagant possibility——

revenge.

At the age of 16, it has been three years since she joined the army. The three years of fighting have been long and hard. She thought countless times that she was pierced by the enemy, or trampled into mud by the enemy's cavalry. At that time, she naively thought that this was pain the ultimate.

Good fortune tricks people, what they say is true.

Wei Yueyan, physically and mentally exhausted, lay on her back on the ground, surrounded by the bones of her comrades with carrion hanging on her body. She was so tired that even if she faced the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, she could hardly make waves. Her beautiful long eyes were lifeless. Looking at the bright moon sky, panting, looking forward to death.

When the sun rises from the mountains tomorrow, and when the first ray of sunshine shines on her face, she will finally set off.

It's just a person who has lost all hope, where does he go?Where does it belong?

The sky and the earth are big, as far as she is concerned, they are just places where bones are buried.

—————— Eat the knife, let’s eat candy —— Yuyu’s desire to survive ————

4. Wei Yueyan: Ma'am, what are you going to do?

Ling Qiufan: Today's Chinese Valentine's Day, I'm going to prepare some tricks for the evening.

Wei Yueyan: Ah!Is there anything I can do to help?

Ling Qiufan: (temporarily at a loss for words, thought for a while) The general is very skilled, why don't you help me catch spiders.

Wei Yueyan: (rolls up sleeves) No problem!

After a stick of incense

Wei Yueyan: Ma'am!I'm back! (unpacking, showing off while unpacking) Ma'am, look!I caught a lot of species for you, red, blue, white, and black. Which one do you like?You can take them all away! Is this bag enough? I'll grab it for you!Ma'am?Where are you going madam?lady? ? ?

Zhan Jin: (stops him) General, take away your supernatural powers!Didn't you see Madam's face turned blue with fright?

Lu Chen: (Looking at the spiders crawling all over the table)......

That night, General Wei, who had never celebrated Qixi Festival, knelt in front of his bedroom door for 23 years.
