Chapter 60 Hundred Flowers
This Hundred Flowers Festival is very grand, and there are princes and nobles from all over the world. Which woman doesn't want to seize this opportunity?
Listening to Ru'er's happy story, Sikongwu doesn't have a big feeling. She has married, and it doesn't matter whether she is a hundred flower fairy. The legend is that it can be used to deceive ancient people. It is not easy to deceive her, a modern person.
Looking at Ru'er, who lacked interest in the princess, also felt that it was boring, so I changed the topic, "Princess, what are you going to wear for tonight's banquet! Where's the hairpin?" Ru'er came over with a few hairpins, and Lu'er was holding a few sets of clothes.
Sikongwu took one casually, "This one!" I didn't look at it.
"Princess, other princesses and ladies are all dressed beautifully. Why don't you..." She didn't dare to say it.
"Ru'er, do you think tonight's purpose is not only to entertain the envoys of various countries, but also about peace! Look at what I am doing as a married princess dressed up. Do you know the principle of keeping a low profile and doing things in a high profile? I am also an irrelevant person at the meeting. I will be a foil. If I am too high-profile, it will be annoying. Sikong dance patiently told her all kinds of truths.
Ru'er and Lu'er were half-understanding and half-prepared, but they were still obedient and chose plain clothes and jewelry.
As the heroine of the Chen Palace, Sikongwu can't treat her servants badly during the festival. Everyone rewarded today with double wages and ordered people to set up a banquet to reward everyone. Everyone in the palace was very happy to follow a good master, so Sikongwu bought people's hearts again.
Ling Chen said after listening to the housekeeper's report: She is really good at losing her family. Although it's nothing to reward his subordinates, he is angry with her! I was so angry that I said it casually, as long as I could refute her. Who knew that the housekeeper told him that several industries under the name of the royal palace had made a lot of money under the management of the princess, and the money had doubled several times. Ling Chen was stunned and speechless. Originally, those industries had made a lot of money in his hands, and then he handed over the business to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper later handed them over to the princess. How much would it be if it doubled? Ling Chen fell into meditation and turned into a stormy wave in his heart. The expression on his face is uncertain, and he can't see what he is thinking.
Before the dinner began, everyone would go there in advance. Ling Chen went out early in the morning, and Si Kongwu had to go to the palace by herself. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the palace, someone picked her up. It was the maidservant next to the queen in early summer.
"Princess Chen, the queen sent a maidservant to pick you up and come with me!" Say it gently in early summer.
"Well, good work." I don't know what the queen is doing, but she has to go whether she wants to or not, right?
"Where are we going?" Sikongwu asked tentatively and looked at the surrounding scenery. The scenery of the palace was the most exquisite and beautiful. If it hadn't been for the palace too much, and if it hadn't been too much freedom, it might have been a good place, but if she had no choice but to escape.
"The Empress is entertaining all the princesses, empresses, and family members of ministers in the royal garden. Usually, we rarely have a chance to get together, and now we have found this opportunity to get together." Chuxia said with a smile that she still likes Princess Chen very much.
Sikong Dance came late. There have been all kinds of beauties sitting on the seat in the Royal Garden for a long time, which is a little beauty-seeking. Looking at his simple clothes, it seems to be a little like a servant costume among this group of people, and they are all colorful brocade. Luo skirt, with a unique pattern embroidered with golden needles and a golden step shake on her head, but she is wearing a water-blue Luo skirt. I don't know what thread is used to embroidered with plum blossom patterns on it. Generally, one of them doesn't look very eye-catching.
It is inevitable to compare with each other at such a party. Others laughed secretly when they saw her dressed so ordinaryly, and some of them laughed out loud. Sikongwu's face was not moved at all and disdained to compare with them. He walked to the queen and saluted, "Empress Jin'an, all of you are safe."
She behaved generously and decently, and the queen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Get up! A few days ago, I was uncomfortable. I heard that Princess Chen had been kneeling outside the palace gate for a long time. These slaves were also ignorant. How could they make Princess Chen kneel all the time! I have punished them. How's the dancer? It's wronged you, isn't it? The queen said everything, pushed everything to the slaves, and changed her name from Princess Chen to Wuer. Sikongwu couldn't help admiring this woman from the bottom of her heart. She was worthy of being able to do today's position. Obviously, she hated her in her heart, but she acted as if she liked her very much. Sikongwu stood up and smiled slightly: " Is the mother feeling better? How can the dancer suffer? The mother's body is important. Who can't do this.
"Look at your child. Although I am not Chen'er's mother, I have watched him grow up since I was a child. You can't call me a mother." Her loving eyes pretended to be slightly angrunted at Sikongwu, as if she was dissatisfied with her name but did not blame her.
Sikongwu immediately shouted sweetly: "Queen Mother." These words were sweet to the queen's heart and immediately laughed.
Other people who wanted to wait to watch the play looked at each other and were a little confused about the situation. Hasn't this queen always been at odds with King Chen? Is Princess Chen too charming? Will this many years' long-cherished wish be untied because of Princess Chen? Everyone can't help looking at the Sikong Dance carefully. This will be obviously different from the feeling just now. This will be: Princess Chen's dress is beautiful and refined, simple and generous but dignified. A white jade hairpin pulls up the green silk, beautiful and exquisite facial features, floating The extraordinary figure has a little different temperament. It is difficult for such a person not to be disliked by the Empress! Their ideas are completely subverted.
Some people are also beginning to please.
"How happy my sister is to see Princess Chen, I! It's rare to see my sister so happy in the palace for so long!" A woman dressed as a concubine said with a smile on her face.
"Who said no!" Another concubine also followed.
"Yes!" That's right!" ......
The people below also echoed one after another, and Sikongwu was still smiling, neither too excited nor other different expressions because of everyone's praise.
The queen has been observing her, seeing that her honor and favor remains unchanged, and she really admires her, but her position is wrong! It's a pity, it's a pity, otherwise I can help Yuer with her.
At this time, there was a report outside: "Princess Yu has arrived."
The queen couldn't help frowning. She was getting more and more outrageous. This kind of party was not punctual, and she hadn't settled with her about the last time!
Ren Xiangyun is dressed up and looks no different from others. He wears gorgeous clothes and dazzling jewelry, which is a word 'vulgar'.
The difference between the two princesses came out. Although Princess Chen's clothes were simple and Princess Yu exuded noble spirit all over, they stood there and felt that they still felt more comfortable and temperament.
