Chapter 4 Pink Ink

The imperial eunuch here dispersed, and the little eunuch heard the little eunuch shouting in the depths of Hongmei, "The Empress is here."

For a moment, the fragrant women in the garden knelt on the ground and shouted respectfully, "Welcome to the Queen."

"Ye, get up." A graceful and tired voice bypassed Hongmei, with a majesty to grasp the overall situation.

Qin Yunuan got up with the noble women and heard the queen ask how it was to enter the palace. If she was not used to it, she also picked out a few famous women or high-ranking women with high human rights and carefully asked about the situation at home.

The whole process was smooth, the tone was gentle, and even the wording and word order could not find any mistakes. Qin Yunuan waited quietly, just secretly thinking that this Empress Chen was really the same as her previous life, exquisite on all sides, and never fell behind. In her bones, she was a completely cruel character.

"Yes, what about cloud makeup? I heard that you were scratched by Shishi?" Empress Chen seems to have thought of the chaos just now.

Qin Yunzhuang quickly responded, gave a standard salute to Queen Chen, and bent down and said, "The minister looked at Shishi's clever and cute and wanted to have a look. Who would have expected that Shishi was also a loyal kitten. Except for the Empress, she refused to recognize anyone else. She struggled a few times. In addition, she scratched her, but she was slightly injured, and It's really a sin for the queen to remember.

After hearing this, Queen Chen couldn't help showing satisfaction. This Qin Yun makeup is indeed a talkative person. Although such a woman's scheme is inevitably heavier, now, she and Rui'er lack such a young descendant. "Get up and let me have a good look, but it still hurts other places. ?"

Qin Yun makeup raised her veiled face. Queen Chen looked at it and asked a few words in detail. During this period, the meaning of favoritism was obvious. Qin Yun makeup raised her head slightly and enjoyed the envy and jealousy ejaculated from around.

After taking care of the injured Qin Yun makeup, everyone sat at the table. Queen Chen lived in the main seat, and the banquet was held around. The bright yellow trap was full of fruit plates to eat, but none of the noble women present dared to start.

Qin Yunuan sat on the left side of Qin Yunzhuang and saw Shangguanyi on the other side with a guilty face. She was probably ashamed that Qin Yunzhuang was injured by holding a cat, and finally asked Qin Yunzhuang to take the blame for herself. But Qin Yunuan knew in her heart that Qin Yunzhuang was not guilty. This speech earned a lot of sympathy and face for herself.

Looking at the noble women with rules, Queen Chen smiled calmly, "Don't be restrained. Today is the Flower Festival, which is supposed to be celebrated all over the world. It's all casual." After saying that, he turned his eyes gently and told the fat old man beside him, "Go to see why Rui'er hasn't come yet. Although he has begun to study politics and court affairs with the emperor recently, don't be too tired."

When it comes to the third prince, the face of this full-seat noblewoman has turned red again. Since ancient times, the beautiful woman has been matched with a gentleman, and this third prince Sima Rui is a good match in many women's dreams. It is just a miscellaneous article written by Sima Rui when he was studying in Guozijian. Now on the market, it is already the price of a thousand dollars.

Qin Yunuan looked at the full pride on Empress Chen's face. Although the third prince Sima Rui was not Queen Chen's own child, the ten-year mother-child friendship and common interests have closely linked the two to everything. Thinking of the previous life, the third prince Sima Rui used the crime of witchcraft to frame the eldest prince Sima Ruo, if it hadn't happened to be When he bumped into him, he must not see that Sima Rui, the modest and courteous third prince, would do such a thing to kill his brother.

Nowadays, the more fanatical the noble women around her are, the calmer Qin Yunuan is. She sat on the futon, as quiet as a virgin, and her eyes were indifferent, and this seemingly inconspicuous alienation and vulgarity fell into the eyes of Sima Rui, who raised his legs.

"Mother, my son is late." Sima Rui is dressed in a brocade robe, embroidered with sapphire blue affron patterns, golden crowns on his head, and high boots on his feet. He is romantic but noble. Such a man is pleasing to the eyes just by looking at it.

Queen Chen said with a strong smile and kindness, "Is it that she has forgotten the hour in the study again?" Really, academic performance is important, but you should also take care of your health.

Sima Rui raised the corners of his mouth, but he became more and more respectful and said, "What the mother taught me a lesson."

After saying that, Sima Rui raised his eyes and swept towards the full of fat powder Lingluo. Seeing the joy and enthusiasm under the eyes of these noble women, the self-confidence and loneliness in their hearts rose more and more, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Qin Yunuan. Yes, that was the direction just now, the highness and peace, and even With so much disdain, it was this woman who didn't take it seriously when everyone heard her name and looked forward to it.

Qin Yunuan felt Sima Rui's gaze and slowly raised her eyes, but coldly nodded slightly to Sima Rui, and there was a trace of resistance in her eyes. I have never wanted to please Sima Rui. I didn't have a chance in my previous life, and I don't want to have too much contact with this kind and cruel face in this life.

Sima Rui frowned slightly. Is he so unpleasant?

"Rui'er, now General Leng has just triumphed from the Eastern Qin Dynasty, and he is also coming to this banquet to show his face. You used to quarrel with him to compete with swordsmanship, do you remember?" Queen Chen saw that Sima Rui was distracted for a moment and secretly pulled back Sima Rui's wandering thoughts with a topic.

Sima Rui was stunned and quickly replied, "It's all childhood jokes, and the mother still remembers it."

As soon as the words fell, the palace man outside had reported loudly, "General Leng has arrived."

Just a noble woman was busy sitting upright, and the hem of her purple clothes swept across the steps. Leng Changxi was dressed in a dark purple gown, capable and gloomy, with a four-finger-wide belt around his waist and a square jade embedded in it, which vaguely revealed a fearful noble spirit.

Leng Changxi raised his head slightly and swept the wind and grass on the banquet into his eyes in an instant, but he walked to the queen step by step before bowing. "Weichen is late, please atone for your sins."

"It's okay," Empress Chen, with a standard smile, knew well about Leng Changxi's current position in the court, and even kindly motioned a vacant seat on her right and said, "This is the position specially left for General Leng. It will be the most clear when these girls draw lots to perform the program."

Hearing this, many noble women's faces surged with joy, and their little eyes kept throwing in the direction of Leng Changxi. Unexpectedly, Leng Changxi did not sit down. On the contrary, he bowed his head and said, "Weichen has something to do later. I'm afraid I can't stay for a long time."

Queen Chen smiled a little dryly, still pointed to the empty seat and smiled, "It doesn't matter. Now the wine and food are ready. General Leng, use it."

Leng Changxi sat down, and his eyes seemed to glance at somewhere unintentionally. Qin Yunuan had just picked up a piece of fish crisp that had been blown up, but suddenly shivered by a sharp and ignorant gaze. The fish crisp fell into the bowl. Qin Yunuan only swept it with only the remaining light and saw the cold. As soon as Changxi moved his eyes, his heart was like a cool breeze blowing, and he was uneasy.

In terms of appearance, I am only a beautiful person. In terms of talent, I only know some embroidery. In terms of family background, I naturally can't compare with those direct daughters. However, he met the cold general in the back mountain of Meiyuan and hurriedly met him. It was not worth this indifferent general Leng to pay so much attention to himself.

With a snap, Qin Yunuan seemed to think of something, and she was suddenly a little flustered. She had been worried about what flaws appeared when she talked to Leng Changxi before, but she forgot that Leng Changxi could hide behind the narrow rockery without being discovered and silently watched all the developments. Who knew that she had changed her flower bag. At that time, will Leng Changxi also see it somewhere?

The heart of defense is indispensable. After Qin Yu thought warmly, her eyes at Leng Changxi became longer and longer. This is a game. She can't lose. Even if she is at a disadvantage, she will find a way out for herself.

Sitting aside is Fang Ziying, a girl from the Fang family who had argued with Shangguanyi before. She is open-minded and easy to get along with. She has a good talk with Qin Yunuan. She saw that Qin Yunuan was just in a daze and couldn't help joking, "It is said that this cold general is heroic and brave. Although he is masked, he has also won the hearts of many daughters. Now, Even this always thin sister Yu Nuan stared at the cold general without his soul. It's true.

"What did Sister Fang say?" Qin Yunuan withdrew her deep thought and said annuously, "I'm just curious why this cold general wears a mask all the time. You see, it's not even convenient to drink a glass of fruit wine."

Fang Ziying suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I don't know much about this, but I heard that it was because General Leng was injured while practicing martial arts as a child and fell a long scar and hurt his face, so he covered his face with a mask." Finally, she sighed, "However, it's just a scar. Don't you think it's more interesting for men to add more scars?

Qin Yunuan looked at Fang Ziying, who was full of heroic feelings, and just smiled and said, "Of course it smells. Looking at Sister Fang's obsession, I smelled a smell of spring."

Fang Ziying suddenly heard that Qin Yunuan was deliberately making fun of herself. The two whispered and laughed for a while, and the dishes were also served.

"Today, it's all casual." Queen Chen smiled elegantly without losing her calmness. She had not yet clipped her chopsticks to the end, but she heard the noise outside the garden. It seemed that someone was crying and shouting something, and her voice was sad and sad.

Queen Chen's face was cold, and the mother next to her immediately understood and ordered Xiao Gong'e to investigate the situation. "Go to see who is crying outside the garden, and when she doesn't pick anything, it spoils the interest of the Empress and the girls."

Queen Chen's face only changed slightly, and the noble women around naturally did not dare to continue to eat. However, Leng Changxi was very calm. She slowly tasted a small glass of fruit wine and was not affected by this chilling atmosphere at all.

He half lowered his eyes and only focused on the grape brewing in the white jade cup, but suddenly raised his head and looked at Qin Yunuan's inquiring eyes.

This person is too calm and too indifferent, Qin Yunuan thought in her heart.

The maid who went out to ask questions came back for a moment, bowed her head and honestly reported the situation outside.

"Are you telling the truth?" A little surprise flashed in Queen Chen's eyes.

"It's true," the maid replied, "the soldiers who were punished with 80 military sticks cried. He said that he was a member of the Leng army and died for Daqi for so many years. There is no reason why he was punished with such a punishment just because of such a trivial matter. He wanted to ask General Leng and ask the queen for clarification."
