Daoist Lin sister [Red House]

Royal garden, Feixian downstairs, the moon on the willows, people make an appointment after dusk.

The emperor and empress sat in the due east, and below them were the concubines and concubines of the harem, and all the imperial orders and daughters sat in order.As for the civil and military officials who decorate for fun, husbands and wives can sit at a table at home.Either behind a rockery, or covered by flowers, or hidden by a screen, in short, although it is the same banquet, we can hear each other's voices, but we can't see the person.It is also the meaning of taboo for men and women.

Daiyu, Yingchun, Ying Miaoyang and Lin Ruhai sat on the left side with Prime Minister Du Ming.It's not that Lin Ruhai's official rank is so high now, it's just that he is favored and is Du Ming's beloved disciple, and there is a reason why he is honored by the princess.

As soon as the two families sat like this, Daiyu couldn't help but sit side by side with Du Hanqing across the flowers and trees.

But Yongyu is in the royal family, but he is not far from Daiyu, and they can see each other.

Besides, Huo Qiong, Huo Lin, Xiangyun, and Wei Ruolan were all in the same rank as military officers.

Only the princess of Yilan had the most special seat, she actually sat far away at the end of the team on the left because of her vain job as a son-in-law.

In the current dynasty, there has always been the custom of worshiping the moon and praying for blessings and begging for cleverness on the Qixi Festival. People in the folks sweep and kneel in the courtyard of their homes, looking at the moon and begging.The palace is naturally more grand and formal.For this reason, a seven-story Feixian Tower was specially built in the imperial garden, and a lotus platform was set up on the seventh floor for praying for the Qixi Festival.

First, the ritual and music officials played the celestial music "Yin Qijie" to signal the beginning of blessing.Later, the emperor personally gave the Ruyi handle to the queen.The queen then held the jade as she wished, and led the concubines, female relatives, etc. into the Feixian Tower, went up to the lotus platform, and received the immortals.

Look at the moon and worship, sincerely pray for blessings, bless all people, protect girls, get family members, and reunite together.

In this way, it is considered the beginning of the blessing ceremony. As for other begging activities, they will be naturally interspersed in the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

"Dang—" a melodious chime sounded, and the craftsmen of the court music workshop filed in one after another. They sat on the ground or stood beside the tree in the south under the acacia tree, playing music and singing, implying the beginning of the feast of flowers.

Daiyu and Yingchun looked at each other with joy in their eyes, sat up straight and waited for the follow-up.

On the throne, the emperor and empress got up at the same time, and the emperor personally handed over a red jade Ruyi to the empress.The empress took it with both hands and held it high above her head.The concubines of He Gong and all the female family members who were ordered to stand up one after another.Daiyu was so engrossed in watching it that she got up a little late, so Yingchun secretly gave her a hand.

Lightly moving the lotus steps, the empress, dressed in bright yellow auspicious clothes, walked all the way to the Feixian Building along the carpet sewn with five-color silk thread by the concubines in the harem.

Afterwards, starting from the imperial concubine, all of them held their breaths and concentrated, lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, without squinting, and clasped their hands.

The women are divided into two teams, and accompanied by the rhythm of the music, they enter the building and climb up the steps until they reach the seven-story lotus platform.

Due to the large number of people, not everyone can go to the lotus platform to worship the moon and pray for blessings.The female relatives of officials below the fourth rank have futons laid out in advance for kneeling and worshiping under the Feixian Building.

Lin Ruhai is now a member of the second rank, so Daiyu can naturally enter the building.And the father of Yingchun, Jia She is a hereditary first-class general, and he followed Ying Miaoyang into the building, so naturally he also has a place.

"Dang—" the chime rang twice, and the drum music rested for a while.

The empress knelt down on the lotus platform, put Yu Ruyi in front of her knees, and chanted the mantra and various prayers.

"Today there is my emperor, with a heavenly heart from above, worrying about all people from below, calming the inner world, embracing the four directions, appointing virtuous and talented people, and opening up the way of speaking..." The empress first praised the achievements of the emperor and hundreds of officials in governing the country this year, expressing that the emperor is concerned about the people , Working hard on state affairs.

After all, the people's livelihood is still suffering, droughts and floods occur, and disasters occur from time to time. "The drought in the north has not subsided, and the floods in the south are frequent, and insects are even more troublesome. The people are suffering, and the emperor is very heartbroken. He tosses and turns, and cannot sleep at night. On this day, invite Seventh Sister, meet the immortals, make great wishes, and chat in return. May the heavens show mercy, and the gods bless you. The weather will be smooth, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe.”

At this point, all the women begged in unison: "May the heavens have mercy, and the gods bless you. The weather will be smooth and the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe."

"Your respect, Mrs. Yang." This is the Queen's wish.

"Sincerely, Daiyu, the believer." It was Daiyu's prayer.

"Faith girl..."

Everyone reported their names one after another, prayed silently and wished secretly, and kowtowed to make a knot.

The sound of drums and music reappeared, and the concubine and others stepped forward to help the empress, and the first round of blessings came to an end.

Daiyu mixed in the crowd, worshiping the moon and praying for blessings according to the ritual system, but in addition to serving the people and the world, she secretly made a wish for herself.What is the content, but it is not enough for outsiders.

Then everyone came out of Feixian Tower and returned to their positions.At that time, the Queen's empress was already sweating and her temples were wet, and she was panting slightly.The emperor was distressed, and he was grateful for the emotive part of the empress's prayer, and couldn't help raising his hand to wipe off the sweat on the empress' temples for the empress himself.

In the eyes of everyone, it is a portrayal of the deep love of the emperor and empress.

The queen empress was also very moved, she rarely showed the shy expression of her little daughter, with her head lowered and her eyebrows raised, her lips blooming.

This situation is touching.Not to mention Yongyu, even Lin Ruhai couldn't help but look back at Ying Miaoyang.

If it weren't for the presence of Yu Daiyu and others, I'm afraid there will be a scene of touching cheeks with hands.

Ying Miaoyang's beautiful eyes cast a slanted glance at Lin Ruhai, with infinite affection and self-evident.

Daiyu and Yingchun caught a glimpse, their faces were red, they pretended to be thirsty, bowed their heads to drink tea, and avoided it.But at the same time, they exchanged glances, pursed their lips and snickered.

Just at this time, a gust of wind came, sending the fragrance of Albizia Julibrissin.For a while, before the banquet started, all the people in the garden were not drunk and everyone was drunk.

Xu Shi empress also felt that the atmosphere was too glamorous, she was reluctant to part but she also resolutely withdrew from the emperor's arms, her eyes signaled the emperor to start the banquet.

The emperor was still in a daze, because he was still indulging in the expression of the queen praying for blessings.

The emperor and empress couple have been married for many years, and the scene of praying for blessings like today, apart from the Qixi Festival, there is also the Taimiao and the offering hall, which are actually common.It's just that for some reason, the emperor looked back at the empress' expression and heard the empress's voice, but felt in a trance that there is no tomorrow, this time is forever, and he couldn't tell whether he was miserable or moved, enlightened or numb.

The empress repeatedly signaled, but the emperor was unmoved, and raised his head unconsciously in doubt, and met the bewildered eyes of the last emperor.The strong uneasiness in the empress's heart surged up again, casting a shadow over the festival for no reason.

But the emperor suddenly came back to his senses, waved his big hand and said, "The banquet begins."

The sound of the music changed drastically, from the distant and solemn Zhengyue to the joyous and enthusiastic dance music, and there were also artists from the music hall.

The empress first personally put a piece of thin and smooth bird's nest stewed slowly into the emperor's bowl, and after seeing him eat it with her own eyes, she picked out some green vegetables for use.

But Daiyu can't be as elegant as the empress.After tossing and tossing for a long time today, she only had tea to dip her lips, she hadn't eaten for a long time, she was so hungry that her chest stuck to her back, and the temple of the five internal organs sang "Empty City Strategies".If you don't take the dragon liver and phoenix marrow and the nine-headed bird pillow core as a sacrifice, I'm afraid you won't be humiliated in public.

Ying Miaoyang is not a pretentious person either, she put down her chopsticks generously, while serving Lin Ruhai with dishes, pointing to the various dishes and explaining them to Yingchun and Daiyu.

"Hey, look at this dish. It's called 'Qinhuai Bayan'. It is said that a famous chef in the south made it after imitating a beauty in the south of the Yangtze River. It melts in the mouth, and the skin is like cream. You two, try it." Ying Miaoyang strongly recommended.

Not only Daiyu and Yingchun, but even Lin Ruhai was attracted by the name and appearance of the dish, followed suit and put down the chopsticks.

"It really lives up to its reputation!" Lin Ruhai picked up a piece of meat that was cut as thin as a cicada's wing, and the color was tender, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.The meat slices have a sweet aftertaste and melt in the mouth, it is not the taste of meat.And it is soft and tender, the tip of the tongue touches it, like a swimming fish gliding by, not slippery, it can indeed be said that the skin is like creamy fat, and I can't help but praise it.

Daiyu and Yingchun also nodded in agreement.

Ying Miaoyang looked around and saw that the three of them had indeed eaten the meat, and suddenly said: "Actually, although this dish is delicious, it is strange to be cautious when you think about it with this name."

The three were puzzled and looked at Ying Miaoyang unanimously.

Ying Miaoyang bent her lips into a smile, and hooked her fingers towards Yingchun and Daiyu.The two little heads took the initiative to come to the door.

Only Ying Miaoyang whispered, "Isn't this cannibalism?"

"Pfft——" Yingchun took the lead, spitting out the piece of meat that was still in her mouth and was not enough to swallow.

Daiyu also wanted to do the same, but she ate a little anxiously, all the meat of Bayan went into her stomach, and she couldn't vomit, so she could only laugh bitterly, angry at Ying Miaoyang.

Ying Miaoyang laughed out loud.

Lin Ruhai didn't hear Ying Miaoyang's words, and looked left and right in a daze, not knowing why.

On the other hand, Du Hanqing, who was seated next to him, couldn't help but sneak a few glances when he heard the excitement here.

Yingchun didn't know Ying Miaoyang well, and she thought what she said was true, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, her internal organs were like fried, not only couldn't eat, she almost vomited, she became very disrespectful on the spot.

Seeing Yingchun's painful expression, Daiyu knew that she took it seriously, and hurriedly said: "Second sister, don't listen to the princess's nonsense, she must be teasing us. The name of this dish is probably called Qin Huaiba Jane, not Qinhuai Bayan, and it has nothing to do with human flesh. Seeing how she said that, but she still ate so happily, it can be seen that most of the dishes are not meat dishes, but vegetarian feasts."

"Haha, Yu'er knows me!" Ying Miaoyang laughed, "This dish is indeed a vegetarian dish, it is eight delicacies rather than eight colors. The dishes are all delicious, but the wine is famous. How dare you two drink?"

Lin Ruhai heard it from the side, and only then did he realize that his little wife was playing tricks again. With his right hand, he sneaked under the table and found a soft spot on Ying Miaoyang's slender waist.

"Oh--" The soft flesh on Ying Miaoyang's waist is the most ticklish.Between the beds, every time Lin Ruhai "accidentally" touches there, she always feels numb for a long time.This time someone maliciously exerted force there, Ying Miaoyang only felt a numb and itchy feeling from the soles of his feet to the sky, and half of his body suddenly became limp as mud, unable to move any more.

Ying Miaoyang couldn't help moaning softly, her body almost fell into Lin Ruhai's arms, and she turned to look at the instigator.

Lin Ruhai, however, pretended to be serious, as if nothing had happened, and put another piece of eight-colored meat into his mouth, chewing on it.

"Death!" Ying Miaoyang spat in a low voice, and simply leaned against Lin Ruhai, lowering her head and giggling.

He didn't mention how windy, moony, emotional, and thick Daiyu's table is, but said that it always rains in the west while the sun rises in the east.

At the end of the team on the left, the table of Princess Minghui and Princess Yilan was overcast and gloomy, almost howling like ghosts and wolves, not like Qixi Festival but Zhongyuan.

First of all is Ming Hui, Huang Chengcheng has a face with a big bag on her forehead, wrapped with gauze, but she finds it ugly, so she has to wear a veil to cover it up.

Secondly, there is Princess Yilan, she is of noble birth, and always sits at the head of the banquet. How could she have received such contempt? clear air.

Together with the master son-in-law, they came here to have fun listening to the music and appreciating the beauty of the moon, but they had to face two stinky faces, one big and one small, and paid for the good breeze and bright moon, so they had to drink alone.After a few cups, I was already drunk.

Seeing that everyone was full of wine and food, someone suggested that they perform poetry and dance, and let the children of each family show their strengths, which is also a search for love and elegance.

The emperor naturally agreed.

This is the beginning of the Hundred Flowers Love Feast.

Daiyu didn't know it yet, but saw many boys and girls getting up and leaving the banquet, Ying Miaoyang pushed her and said: "Be careful! Otherwise, your elder brother Yu will be snatched away by others!"

Daiyu knew that Yongyu was definitely not that kind of person, but she couldn't help but look up.

As expected, many young girls were faintly crowding in front of Yongyu's table, and each of them held palace flowers in their hands, with a shy look on their faces.

Only then did Daiyu remember that she hadn't prepared palace flowers, so she hurriedly looked at Yingchun.

Yingchun lowered her head shyly, and also took out a goose yellow winter jasmine flower from her sleeve, and held it tightly in her palm, but she didn't get up.

Daiyu panicked, and stammered: "Oh, how could I have forgotten this, I never brought the palace flower with me."

Seeing this, Yingchun hurriedly said: "Sister Lin, don't panic, if you don't dislike it, why don't you just take my flower?"

Daiyu quickly shook her hand and said, "How can that be done? This winter jasmine is exactly the same as the second sister's boudoir name. Looking at its craftsmanship and materials, it is clearly made by the second sister herself. How can it be cheaper for me? Besides, I, I I don't need palace flowers, so I don't need them." Daiyu said so, but she was very annoyed in her heart.

Originally, she never thought about preparing palace flowers, but because she knew that Yongyu would definitely have flowers for her.But today, especially after she heard Yongyu's oath with her own ears, she couldn't be indifferent anyway, secretly hated herself for being ruthless, and blindly watched him express his expression, but she did nothing at all.

On the opposite side, Yongyu didn't know what Daiyu was thinking, so he stared at her intently.Seeing that Daiyu suddenly turned from joy to sadness, she even frowned, thinking that Daiyu saw so many women around him, and mistook him for attracting bees and butterflies. Pushing aside the crowd in front of him, he was about to rush towards Daiyu.

Unexpectedly, he only walked halfway, stabbed obliquely, and stabbed a person horizontally.

The visitor's colorful skirt is fluttering, the gauze hat is flying low, and the fragrance of powder is tangy to the nostrils. At first glance, it looks like a fairy.

But Yong Yu sneezed three times in a row, quickly covered his mouth and nose and said: "Who is so vulgar and reckless that he mixes Yiqin fragrance with safflower!"

The so-called Yiqin fragrance is the spice that Yongyu personally prepared for his mother, the princess, when he was young.

When Princess Xian was in the boudoir, she was the best at playing the piano, and she had the reputation of moving the capital.The virtuous prince Su likes eloquence, and is especially fond of qin music. Because he once listened to Yi Ren's song, he was completely desperate. After a long time of hard pursuit, he finally embraced the beauty.

However, when Princess Xian was born in Yongyu, she suffered from a serious illness, she was weak after giving birth and she lost her recuperation.Prince Xian loved her deeply, and from then on, she was not allowed to play the piano easily.

Boya's son is rare, and the sound of the piano is no longer.

Later, when Yongyu grew up, after hearing about the past, and on the birthday of the princess, he personally mixed this incense as a congratulatory gift.

And Yongyu has unique ingenuity, this Yiqin fragrance contains not only ordinary spices, but also hidden nourishing things.The princess used it every day, but it healed many hidden dangers left by her over the years one by one, and nourished a virtuous princess like a flower bone, and she was more beautiful every day.As a result, everyone sought after it, and gradually became a famous fragrance in the capital.It's just that the raw materials used by Yiqinxiang are very expensive and cannot be easily obtained by ordinary people.

And safflower is a thing for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and has the effect of abortion.It is naturally impossible for Yong Yu to mix safflower in the spices prepared for his mother.And this safflower also conflicts with several ingredients in Yiqin Xiang, mixing together will make the original fresh and pleasant fragrance become strange and unpleasant.

Yongyu is the incense maker, as soon as he heard it, he felt that he was playing the qin to a cow, and his incense was ruined for no reason, so naturally he didn't look good.

The person whom he called out to his face froze in place.

She deliberately used this incense, and for the Yiqin incense, she paid a lot of money to invite an embroiderer from the south of the Yangtze River, and worked hard for more than three months to make this neon dress and feather coat.But Yong Yu didn't even look at it, and directly scolded her for being vulgar and boring.And how did she know that the reason why she used safflower was not because he was so heartless that he lost his soul and bled profusely, so the imperial physician forced it?

The others didn't know this, and when they heard Yongyu's reprimand, they also felt that it was too vulgar, and they all looked around.

He saw a woman in white standing in the middle, blocking Yongyu's way.

Those who are interested look around and recognize that the woman in white is Ming Hui.

Minghui stood alone in the open space in the middle of the banquet, under the eyes of everyone, her face was hidden behind the tulle, looking at Yongyu who was standing in front of her, she felt that she was close in front of her eyes, but far away in the sky.

Yong Yu did it unintentionally and blurted it out, but now that he has attracted everyone's attention, he also feels sorry for the girl.Just when she was about to say a few words to smooth things over, she could tell from the gap in the veil that the person in front of her was slightly fluttering that she was actually Ming Hui.Yongyu hated her woman's thoughts and behind-the-scenes actions, and turned his hands away to walk around her.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Minghui gritted her teeth, suddenly her hands spread like flowers and brushed against willows, and with one movement, she danced in front of Yongyude.

I don't know if Ming Hui had arranged it earlier, but the drum band played the Ming Emperor's song at the right time.

Under the bright moon, the Yiren dances alone, the colorful clothes fly, and the breeze rises by itself.

Slim fingers are raised, and all eyes gather.The slender waist moves, and the gods are hard to stop.

All of a sudden, warblers crowed everywhere, and petals came one after another.Looking closely, it turns out that Hu skirts are spinning and Luan bells are intertwined.

"Ding." It was just the sound of one person's silver chopsticks touching the bowl, but it reached everyone's ears.

It turned out that at some point, the dance music ended.Everyone was so intoxicated that they could hear a needle drop for a moment.

After Minghui danced to the song, she gasped for breath, the wound on her forehead was stimulated by hot sweat, and the pain became more and more painful.But she didn't bother to wipe it, she hurriedly took out a palace flower from her bosom, and was about to stuff it into Yongyu's hand.

Yong Yu was not intoxicated like others.Minghui's dance is indeed amazing and has its own unique features.It's just Hu Xuan's dance, seductive and charming, which attracts people at first, but after a long time, it becomes tasteless.

Furthermore, appreciating dance is like appreciating people.Yongyu is impatient with her, even if she descends to earth as a real fairy, Yuhuan comes to the world, and dances a song, he will not be tempted.

Sure enough, when Yongyu saw Minghui's act of sending palace flowers, he avoided it and rushed to Daiyu's side in two or three steps.

Minghui's outstretched hand was hanging in the air in embarrassment, and she couldn't take it back.

Seeing Yongyu rushing to her side suddenly, Daiyu knew what he was thinking and kept silent.

But Ying Miaoyang sighed quietly and said: "This Minghui is also stubborn, why did he identify you? She doesn't even look at it, just her dance alone has attracted the eyes of many young masters. "

Ying Miaoyang really expressed her feelings, but she didn't know how many tricks Minghui had done behind the scenes.

Yongyu suddenly sounded in Daiyu's ear again—"Yu'er is not talented, and he only has one eye on the road. Let him be rained and winded, and everything invades. I respect her, respect her, respect her, and love her." "Kam", white hair for life. If you violate this oath, you will be expelled from your family and go home, and there will be five thunders from the sky." The oath.

In the evening, after Daiyu, Yingchun, Ying Miaoyang, Xianqin Wangfei and others visited the empress, they went to the imperial garden under the guidance of the maids.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to walk through the corridor, a female Shi from the empress's palace trotted over and called Daiyu, saying that the empress had just forgotten, and there was something else she wanted to know.

Ying Miaoyang wanted to turn around with her.But the female history only wants Daiyu to go back.

Daiyu and Ying Miaoyang looked at each other and felt that something was wrong, but she was familiar with the female history.What's more, they are in the empress's palace at the moment, and the empress is strict, so nothing will happen to them.

Ying Miaoyang and others stopped and waited in place, and let Daiyu go back.

Daiyu followed the female historian, and indeed retreated back to the side door of the main hall, feeling at ease.Who would have thought that when she was about to step in, she heard the empress questioning Yongyu, might she guarantee that she will only be loyal to her for the rest of her life, and treat others even if she is as beautiful as a fairy?

Daiyu went to see the female historian in surprise.Nu Shi blinked at her, turned around and disappeared.Daiyu neither entered nor retreated for a while, standing awkwardly behind the door.

But he also listened to what Yongyu said, every word and every word.

"This life, this life, three lives and three lives, Deqing is like this, the six reincarnations will never be burdened. If you violate this oath, you will be wiped out in ashes and smoke, and you will never exist forever." Daiyu also swore.

Daiyu was still remembering, but there was thunderous applause around her.Everyone was applauding for Ming Hui, and by the way pretended that they hadn't seen the scene where a concubine had a lover and a man had no intention of doing so.

Suddenly, Daiyu, who was looking down and thinking, suddenly raised her head, looked at Yongyu, and said word by word: "I also have a song, I want to dance for you. Do you mean it?"

The author has something to say: the second watch has been achieved.mwah!
