The Beloved Imperial Consort

Xizhao Festival

Today, Xiunu's class is only half a day, and the rest of the time can be rested, dressed up, and prepared for the poetry appreciation banquet in the Imperial Garden that will start at Youshi.

Mu Xiyao's dress is very elegant today. The brocade gauze jacket with moon white rattan pattern, and the long skirt of lotus blue cloud gauze with traced flowers on the floor, only around the hem of the skirt are dark flowers embroidered with silver silk. The long skirt swayed as she walked, layer upon layer. The brilliance refracted by the silk threads shines in the interlacing, and there is a low-key luxury indistinctly.

There is only a four-butterfly flying flower on the head, inlaid with dark blue gemstones. With the movement of the owner, the butterfly spreads its wings and is about to fly, and the tassels shine brightly, which is a vivid scene. Her jet-black hair was loose at the waist, only tied up in a bun on the left side, and two or three emerald orchids were scattered on the hairpin, which was really pretty.

The most special thing is that there are two apricot white thin ribbons of different lengths hanging from the waist, and the lower ends of the ribbons are decorated with fluffy park cherry blossom balls, which bring out the girl's delicacy.

Mu Xiyao was originally nourished by the charm of the pill, and now it is the flowering period of budding, her figure is tall and plump, and the silk belt that wraps her body highlights her waist that is not full. Against the backdrop of this attire, she is even more graceful, graceful and graceful. There is just a touch of makeup on the face. Delicate and white face, slender and thick eyelashes, below is a pair of dark and watery eyes, rippling like autumn water, there seems to be a thousand words, and I want to say it. The pink lips are moist and plump, which attracts reverie. What a beautiful lady!

Mu Xiyao was shaking a landscape fan with one hand, and was holding her cousin's arm in the other. Beside her was the equally handsome Mu Xiting. The three went to the imperial garden together. There are also high-spirited show girls around, in groups of three or four, playing lively.

At the time of You, the poetry appreciation feast begins. The seats of Emperor Yuan Cheng, the Empress Dowager and the high-ranking concubines in the harem were all arranged in Shenxiang Pavilion. The rest of the people in the harem are all on the left side of the outer room of the water pavilion. On the right side are the seats for the princes and their families. All princes over the age of seven were present. After that, there are seats for courtiers and Guozijian students.

On the side of the princes, the prince and beauties surrounded him, and he even brought five family members with him. The crown princess was pregnant and was recuperating in the mansion, but she never came. The eldest prince, Zong Zhengchun, was sitting with his concubine and concubine, hugging left and right, very happy. The fourth prince, Zong Zhengyun, said that the fifth prince, Zong Zhengming, was only accompanied by his concubine, and the husband and wife respected each other as guests. Zong Zhenglin sat alone in the case, with a solemn expression and a straight figure. Only Wei Zhen followed two steps behind. At the bottom is the eighth prince Zong Zhenghan, who is only eleven years old. Although he is young, he already has a royal air.

Zong Zhenglin was in a good mood, maybe he could see Mu Xiyao today. Zong Zhenglin didn't mind that he was already attracted to her, but the other party didn't recognize him at all.

In his plan, Mu Xiyao's intentions were never taken into consideration. As long as he is tempted, everything else will follow. Mu Xiyao just waits to enter the mansion.

Mu Xiyao was sitting in the seat of the showgirls behind the concubines in the harem, at the same table as Mu Xiting. It's so hard to die, Jiang Pinting is on the left, and Mu Xiyao is amused.

Jiang Pinting also dressed up specially today, and she looks really beautiful. Because of her outstanding family background and appearance, Jiang Pinting has been competitive since entering the palace, trying to overwhelm others in everything. I don't like to see Mu Xiyao first-class. Sitting in the seat is also full of arrogance. Among all the beautiful girls talking and joking, she is the only one sitting upright, which is very eye-catching. However, Mu Xiyao will help her later, so that she can see more.

Mu Xiyao was talking to other people on the surface, but her mind had already gone astray. Zong Zhenglin should sit with all the princes, they are too far apart, so they can't see clearly at all. Do you want to have a chance encounter to warm up? Well, forget it. There are so many people, and they are far apart, it is too troublesome to design encounters, it is more interesting to toss those women.

At the poetry banquet, there was a lot of wine and wine, and Emperor Yuan Cheng was also very interested. He ordered that any good poems can be presented for everyone to appreciate at the banquet, but they cannot be signed. Guozijian, Hongwenshe and Shengjing Library jointly selected the ten most outstanding poems. Its author is highly rewarded.

As a result, the atmosphere of the poetry banquet became more enthusiastic, and the young students were eager to try it. Even the princes joined in the fun, the fifth prince Zong Zhengming and the sixth prince Zong Zhenglin won the fourth and seventh place in one fell swoop, Emperor Yuan Cheng was very satisfied. After all, the prince's academic focus is not on poetry, and it is not bad to be able to achieve such results under heavy academics.

A group of courtiers were flattering the two princes, when a woman's exclamation suddenly sounded.

The banquet fell silent for a moment. This is a disgrace in front of the imperial court, and everyone turned their eyes away. I saw a beautiful girl, her face turned pale, she was so frightened that she jumped up from behind the desk and kept checking her dress, as if there was something very scary on it.

The guard hurried over to investigate, only to find seven or eight stinging spiders on the table, two were dying, and the rest were corpses.

With a gloomy face, Emperor Yuan Cheng ordered the imperial concubine to thoroughly investigate the matter and punish him severely. Such vicious things are never allowed in the palace. He also ordered people to pull down the beautiful girl who was disrespectful in front of the imperial court and punish her with a staff of twenty boards. If you still don't understand the rules, you will be disqualified as a show girl and sent back home! This is a very serious punishment. If the woman is sent back by the royal family, there is basically no hope of marrying.

Jiang Pinting's face was pale, she was dragged down by the guards, she was shocked and hated, but she didn't know who murdered her. Just now, I just felt a blur in front of my eyes, as if something had fallen, but after careful inspection, I found the stinging spider on the table. Forgot the occasion for a while and made a startled sound, but caused a disaster. Originally, relying on her family background and appearance, as long as she passed the final election, the side concubine was almost at her fingertips. But now, it would be a great fortune to be accused of being a concubine in the Prince's Mansion. All thoughts were lost for a while.

Mu Xiyao also pretended to be frightened, and supported Mu Xiting to stand aside, but she was very happy in her heart. Using Jiang Pingting to lead out the real culprit of the stinging spider case kills two birds with one stone, just right.

It's over here, so I happily went to watch the lanterns and guess riddles with Mu Xiting.

Mu Xiting is a girl at heart, she likes to guess riddles, she falls behind and ponders secretly. Mu Xiyao didn't have that patience, she just followed the lanterns one by one to look at them.

Suddenly, Mu Xiyao's eyes lit up, and when she found a super cute rabbit lamp, she quickly walked over to stand under the lamp, raised her head and admired it carefully. Suddenly thinking of the fat rabbit in a certain country in modern times, he laughed. In the end, I looked around and felt that the bunny was so fat and cute. I really want to take it home...

like?

Mu Xiyao was very surprised when she heard the mellow voice of the young man behind her. Slowly turning around, the sixth prince, Zong Zhenglin, was dressed in a dark blue prince's robe, with a straight figure and a handsome face, looking at him with dark phoenix eyes.

Mu Xiyao regained her composure at dusk, before adjusting her posture, she saluted very standardly and said hello: Qingzhou beautiful girl, Mushi Xiyao, please greet Your Highness.

It really was her. Zong Zhenglin was stunned for a moment when he looked at the girl with outstanding appearance, light temperament and graceful figure under the lamp. After a while, he came back to his senses, his face still expressionless. He raised his head to look at the lamp, then asked with disgust, Do you like this lamp?

Mu Xiyao began to beat the villain in her heart. Do you want to put on such a straight face and ask questions in a tone that you have a problem with aesthetics? That obviously distasteful tone and expression are completely out of tune, okay?

But facing the big boss, Mu Xiyao didn't dare to be presumptuous, and only replied in a low voice: I like it. Then she stood there with lowered eyebrows and eyes, pretending to be reserved.

Zong Zhenglin looked at her very well-behaved appearance, and a smile flashed in his eyes. If he hadn't seen her wandering around the lamp just now, he really didn't know that she was so childish. Then he told Wei Zhen: Take it down and give it to her. He stood aside without saying a word.

Wei Zhen's limbs were stiff, and she was obviously still moving mechanically. After taking off the lamp and handing it over, he glanced at Mu Xiyao from the corner of his eye. Then bow respectfully.

Mu Xiyao held the rabbit lamp in a daze, feeling that her memory was a bit unreliable.

In his memory, Zong Zhenglin was very indifferent to Mu Xiyao at first, but later he became a little closer, and he just liked to stay in her yard and read books, and just sat for a longer time. Maybe he also has a slight liking for her, but he likes the ease and comfort of staying in her yard more.

Which show is it playing now? Zong Zhenglin in his previous life never gave her a hair. And we are not familiar with each other now! In the memory of the previous life, I have never heard that the sixth prince is an acquaintance...

Mu Xiyao hadn't sorted out the changes in Zong Zhenglin, and heard him say: If you like it, take it back and read it. Go around, stupid.

Mu Xiyao was petrified. It's fake, it's definitely fake, this guy must have been worn too!

Zong Zhenglin didn't know that Mu Xiyao was slandering him in her heart, it was very interesting to just watch her dazed in a daze.

It was only when Mu Xiyao was freed from the mess that she realized that she was disgusted and called her stupid! Immediately quit, staring at Zong Zhenglin with puffed cheeks, eyes wide open, without blinking.

Zong Zhenglin looked at her airy look, then glanced at the fat rabbit next to her, feeling... like. Unexpectedly, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he took another deep look at her, then took Wei Zhen and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Seeing that the person had gone far away, Mu Xiyao put away her bun-faced expression just now, carried the cute rabbit, and went back to look for Mu Xiting. Girls in their teens have to show their innocence and mischievousness properly to be more attractive, isn't it? Mu Xiyao's eyes sparkled.
