Chapter 2 Hold High and Step Low

Although the Flower Festival is a feast for flower appreciation, it is held in the cold winter, and there are no flowers to enjoy. In fact, the fake flowers made of silk yarn and silk are specially enjoyed by the daughters, who is the most skillful and the flowers are the most vivid and eye-catching.

In addition, there are also lottery, flower poems, and several activities to select a winner. The queen has her own rich awards. Even if she has nothing to get, she can enter this deep palace courtyard and see the phoenix body and dragon face, which is also what many girls dream of.

Liao's mother and other maids were waiting outside the palace. Qin Yunuan walked behind Qin Yun's makeup, hanging a crescent white flower bag around her waist, and walking on the palace road paved with bluestone bricks with more than 20 women. Listening to the girls next to her chatter, many of them were inevitably a little excited when they entered the palace for the first time.

"Ah, what do you think the iron-faced general looks like? Wearing a mask all day long, it's not boring.

"I want to say that no matter what he looks like, such a powerful and brave man, even if he grows into a pocky face, he is still a hero. What's more, I heard that the iron-faced general covered his face with a mask because he was too beautiful for fear of causing trouble.

Qin Yunuan walked next to the two girls who were talking, and the words fell in his ears. The four words "iron-faced general" had greatly touched him. In his previous life, he was forced to marry this person. Finally, he didn't even know whether the groom was tall or short, fat or thin, and he was burned to death in a sedan chair.

Although I have nothing to do with this person, my heart will always tremble when listening to others mention it. After all, I just woke up from the nightmare of my previous life. The fire and the burning temperature in the fire seem to be vivid and fresh in my memory.

"Huh," Shangguanyi snorted coldly when she heard the conversation between the latter two people and replied disapprovingly, "It's just an illegitimate son of the Ningwang Mansion, which is worse than a concubine. There is nothing to care about this kind of lowly person. If it comes to appearance, it must not be much better." After saying that, he deliberately provoked Qin Yunuan, "Sister Qin, don't you think so?"

Shangguanyi is nothing more than trying to belittle herself.

"Bah," before Qin Yunuan replied, the girl in the discussion just spat, "The third son of Leng Changxi is a first-class general. He once won the head of the enemy general in a million troops and rode back in the rolling yellow sand but is spotless. I'm afraid that you Shangguan Yi is jealous of such a legendary figure, just because Your brother is a strawbag. It is said that he hasn't even been admitted to the Guozi Supervisor after five years. I'm afraid he can't find a second person who is more confused than your brother.

Shangguanyi's eyes turned red, "Well, my brother's name is Zhi Ruoyu. It's not like your Fang family. He even has five daughters and doesn't even have a son. I'm afraid he will be extinct."

Shangguanyi's words were quite poisonous. Qin Yunuan couldn't help frowning, scolding them for not saying anything if they had a son, and cursed that Shangguanyi was really speechless.

After saying that, Shangguanyi was still angry and said to the girl Fang, who was so angry that she couldn't speak, "Besides, you admire the cold general. If you have the ability, tell the queen and let her marry her. After you marry such a ruthless martial artist, will you still say that he is powerful and brave?"

"Forget it, Sister Shangguan, don't say any more." Qin Yunzhuang looked aside for a long time before coming out to persuade Shangguan Yi. As far as she is concerned, she also looked down on Leng Changxi, who was born as an illegitimate child. What if she had military merit, what if the emperor was important? After all, she was not a bad name, and she could not enter the ancestral temple even if she died.

"That's all, let's not talk about it. The commoner and the illegitimate son are different from the direct room itself." Shangguan Yi's apricot eyes picked up and deliberately glanced at Qin Yunuan, and her eyes were full of arrogance. Sister Qin, are you right?

"I think Shangguan's words are bad." A leisurely and graceful female voice sounded, like the gurgling stream in the mountains, pouring a little coolness into people's hearts.

Shangyi turned around and found that it was Qin Yunuan who spoke. She couldn't help adding a little contempt in her eyes, and her eyelids were about to rise to the sky.

Qin Yun makeup was a little surprised at first, but soon covered up his emotions and frowned and advised, "Yu Nuan, stop it."

"Sister, this is what the Shangguan girl asked me first. If I don't answer, I'm afraid it's rude," Qin Yu warmly replied. They all pointed to their noses and spoke. Do they still want to put up with it? Qin Yunuan suddenly smiled gently and asked Shangguan Yi, "I don't know, what is the origin of the Shangguan master of the Shangguan family?"

Shangguan Yi raised his head, "My father is a scholar and firstborn. He has been an official in the court for 22 years and has never made a mistake."

"Oh, how about asking the origin of Master Shangguan's father?"

Shangguan Yi was even more proud, "My grandfather Shangguan Yi is a Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, and his students are everywhere."

"Yes, it's true," Qin Yunuan nodded and sighed, "Mr. Shangguan Yi learned from five cars, learned from ancient times to modern times, and even wrote good words. Even the previous emperor once sighed that there was Yi Lao in Daqi, as if he had a treasure."

This made Shangguan Yi feel comfortable, but Qin Yunzhuang frowned. Even the Fang girl who had just spoken was a little puzzled. Whether this Qin San girl came to refute Shangguan Yi or to flatter Shangguan Yi.

"Well, dare you ask, what is the origin of Mr. Shangguan Yi's father?" Qin Yuwarm's eyes were sharp, like a cold knife in the hand of the top assassin, and hit Shangguan Yi in unison.

Shangyi's little face suddenly turned green, gritted her teeth and didn't say a word. She looked angry, annoyed and nowhere to send. Suddenly, the girl of the Fang family also understood something.

"Shangguan sister can't remember, why don't you say it for your sister," Qin Yunuan said with a smile, "From Mr. Shangguan Yi, he is Mr. Shangguan Cong, born as an ordinary village scholar and Mr. Ren Private School; further up, it is Shangguan Quan, born as an ordinary fisherman in Jiangnan; further up, it is Mr. Shangguan You, who was born But it's good. He is the descendant of the Shangguan family, one of the four major families in the south of the Yangtze River. Unfortunately, he was born from an outside world and has never been included in the genealogy for life.

Qin Yunuan emphasized the following sentence. To be honest, if it weren't for her direct mother, she would also like Shangguan Yi very much. If she wanted to explore the customs of the Shangguan family after the Spring Festival, and settled the marriage between the two early. Therefore, she also took all kinds of situations of the Shangguan family to study. She was just sending embroidery products. When I accidentally glanced at it, I remembered it all. It seemed that my unforgettable ability was still not reduced at all.

Qin Yunuan looked at Shangguanyi's blue and black face, and her tone became more gentle. "Therefore, Shangguan girl introspected herself first to avoid targeting others, but instead encircling herself in. Besides, what about the concubine? What about the bad origin? The so-called heroes don't ask about the source. Zhang Lian and Daru of the previous dynasty, the founding Marshal Meng Zhen, and today's iron-faced generals. They are all loyal people for Daqi. If they don't have their blood and courage, they will not have today's Daqi. Shangguan girl blindly emphasizes her birth, and she can know how many ordinary sergeants who risk their lives on the front line for the peace in the capital now. Shangguan girl, you'd better not forget your original.

The last sentence is particularly important, which not only reminds everyone of the hard-won peace at this time, but also emphasizes the origin of Shangguan Yi's ancestor.

Shangguan Yi was anxious again. A pair of apricot eyes were red as if she was about to bleed. She was just a small concubine. What right do you have to teach her a lesson? I can't be angry!

Helplessly, Qin Yun makeup has been secretly pulling Shangguan Yi to prevent her from making trouble again.

Qin Yunuan looked at Shangyi's liver-colored face and saw the admiring and admiring eyes of the Fang girl just now. Unexpectedly, she had the pleasure of resisting for the first time. It turned out that the feeling of self-resistance was so good.

"What are you doing here? Still not leaving?" The fat old man who led the way wanted to scold a few words, but she saw that it was Qin Yunuan who was surrounded in the middle.

Qin Yunuan just motioned at the fat lady, looking clever and calm. The fat lady didn't say much, but it was just a banquet of the Flower Festival. She didn't want to provoke these noble girls in Beijing. She just waved and asked everyone to go quickly.

When he went to the garden of the banquet again, no one in the crowd dared to speak loudly.

Listening to other people's whispers, Qin Yunuan knew that tonight's Flower Festival banquet is not only an annual celebration, but also for Leng Changxi, the great general who has just triumphed from the Eastern Qin Dynasty.

Dongqin? Triumph? It's really strange. I remember that in the memory of his previous life, Leng Changxi had to postpone a year to make a great success in breaking the Eastern Qin Dynasty. How could he advance in this life? However, there is nothing to be annoyed. Even his rebirth may happen. It's nothing if this incident is postponed by a year earlier.

Just listening to the comments of these girls, it seems that many people are still very optimistic about Leng Changxi. After all, Leng Changxi originally went to support as a reinforcement this time. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived with 100,000 troops, he not only turned the tide and reversed the whole war, but also attacked all the way to the east Qin directly. The capital forced the king of the Eastern Qin to offer the jade seal with both hands and be willing to be a minister.

Daqi's 20-year-old trouble was so easily solved by a 19-year-old man. It's really gratifying and a national honor.

Looking at the scarlet and expectation of many noble women talking about Leng Changxi's face, I'm afraid that there are many women who regarded Leng Changxi as a great hero and good man.

Entering the garden, it was full of rare and precious blood-colored red plums. All the way to see the scenery, the fat mother who led the way said that the queen had not yet arrived, so that all the girls could visit the garden first. A group of girls who had been bored for a long time became excited again and pointed to each other to look at this and that.

Walking to a realistic rockery, I don't know who suddenly shouted, "Look over there, there is a Persian cat."
