Chapter 99 Fighting Grass

Yuan Xiu didn't know that she just ran for Jiacheng, but Chang'an had already talked about it in private. At this moment, she is sitting leisurely in the Penglai Hall, carefully looking at the newcomers who were hired into the palace after the cherry banquet.

This day was the time when Yizhi asked to enter the palace. The queen Wang wore a bright yellow clothes only on a formal occasion, combed Lingyun buns on her head, and inserted red gold silk phoenix hairpins the size of a bowl mouth. The phoenix eyes were embedded from two obsidians, with three strings of thumb-sized pearls in her mouth, and almost fell to Wang's eyebrows. It was completely covered.

The nearest Fangyi Zhao wears a pink and beautiful spring shirt, which is very low, revealing the pink and white silk-bottomed embroidered mandarin ducks playing in the water, dragging six Xiangshui skirts down, and the long black hair is tied into a charming and colorful snake bun. Two fuls of green birds swayed obliquely inserted on the temples with beads, and another lifelike one The red peony of the concubine.

Originally, Zhao's status in the palace was second only to Wang's. Because Wang's childless and not much favored by Fengchun, Zhao's was even more arrogant. Now she was demoted because she offended Yuanxiu. Even the enlightened King of Han also taught him a lesson from her. Now there are five new concubines in the palace, all of whom are of good origins. Wei's position is in her. That's it. The most important thing is that she is still the daughter of Wei Xiang. Zhao has served Fengchun for many years. How can she not know Fengchun's dependence on Wei?

Today, she put on a special strict makeup, with her eyebrows, red and yellow. She must refuse to show her decline. Even Li Jian, the king of Wei, who was next to her, wore a prince's robe, dressed in a noble dress.

Compared with these two, the two talented people of Cao's Qin's family are only slightly more solemn than when they came to Penglai Hall to comfort them, but they are also limited, and Wei Wang Lixin is even more luxuriously dressed and low-key for fear of arousing Wang's interest.

Princess Jiacheng has never participated in such an occasion. Although Yunzhou has recovered, she may have been too shocked. During this period, she has been staying in her own hall and has not even appeared by the Taiye pool. Therefore, the princesses in the hall were led by Changyang. The youngest Princess Liyang was bored and looked down and found something from her sleeve. Playing around with his fingers, Xu Wang and Li You, who was at her head, saw curiosity and stretched out his hand to ask for it. The sister and brother bowed their heads and had a good time. Yuan Xiu couldn't help leaning over, but saw that it was two stinglings. Liyang gave Li You one. The two played grass in the hall. Because Liyang's wet nurse coughed and reminded them to pay attention to their manners, the two They didn't dare to exert too much force, so that they were deadlocked for a long time, but they didn't break a single one.

The play of fighting grass started from Hanwu. In the previous dynasty, there were people called stepping on hundreds of grass. In this dynasty, it was extremely popular. It was renamed to fight grass, also known as fighting hundreds of grasses. It was divided into two kinds of literature and martial arts, such as Liyang and Li You, each took a bridle to test its tenacity, which was martial arts. The so-called Xiaomo took the cage, and Sanglin Road was separated by Huai. How to fight hundreds of grasses and bet on Fenghuangpin. It is specially written by the poet of this dynasty.

This play is generally popular during the Dragon Boat Festival. Yuan Xiu was young and asked in a low voice, "Is there any more? If there is, take me with you."

Princess Liyang said to Li You, "Ten brothers, let go. Sister Jiu and I will take another one."

"You hide the qiling in your sleeve? Where did you pick it? Is it born on the ground now? Although the beginning of summer is approaching, Lingnan has already become red and green, a thick blue and deep green, but Chang'an has asked since spring, even if it has appeared, it is flexible and without martial arts.

Princess Liyang and Li You, reached out and touched the sleeves and said, "When I just walked through the Hanliang Hall, I saw it, so I asked someone to stop and pick it. It happened that the tenth brother saw it and took it out to play."

"Ninth sister, I'm gambling with Sister Eleven. I don't know what bet you bet on?" Li You reminded.

"What are you betting on?"

Princess Liyang looked at Li You and said, "I took this hollowed-out bracelet on my wrist to bet on the lotus jade he wore." The bracelet on Princess Liyang's wrist is red gold, pinching out the shape of the coiled phoenix chasing the full moon, but the full moon is a pearl the size of a thumb, which looks ingenious and is what she has always liked.

However, Li You's lotus jade is a lotus-colored jade pendant carved into a landscape and tied to the waist with five-color silk. This kind of jade color is originally rare. This piece is flawless, and it is rare that the landscape is made of jade, which is as excellent as Liyang's pair of bracelets.

Yuan Xiu looked down at himself and said, "Then I will take this hollow honeysuckle hanging chain silver sachet as annot." After saying that, he untied it and showed it to the two. The sachet was hollow and round, from which could be separated. The upper half was covered and the lower half as the body. It was connected by a hinge, and the mother's mouth was buckled at the separate place, and the outer bracket controlled the opening and closing of the sachet. After opening, you can see the ingenious design of a bowl-shaped incense bowl, with double ring maintenance next to it to prevent the loss of spices. The workmanship is exquisite and exquisite.

Princess Liyang and Li You nodded after they looked at each other.

With Yuan Xiu's joining, Liyang's wet nurse did not dare to interfere any more. Liyang and Li You openly continued the martial arts fight just now. The two were about the same age and had equal strength. After persisting for a long time, the bridle in Li You's hand snapped into two pieces. He sighed and didn't care about it. He readily asked Dong Buzhou to come forward for him. Untie Peiyu and hand it to Liyang.

Liyang received the lottery and was in a good mood. He took another shackle from his sleeve and said to Yuan Xiu with a smile, "Sister Jiu, it's our turn!"

Yuanxiu excitedly pulled the jiao in his hand after intercourse with her. Today, it may be because of Liyang's excellent luck. In a short time, Yuanxiu also broke this one first. Li You smiled and said, "I was wondering if Sister Jiu could win back a city for me, but I didn't expect Sister Jiu also lost."

"It doesn't matter, we can continue to gamble!" Yuan Xiu handed in the sachet and asked, "Do you still have many stingles in your sleeves?"

Liyang made a grimace face at her and smiled and said, "Nine is going to be disappointed. There are only four, and there are no more."

Li You was in high spirits and said, "I'll find you later and bet on you."

"Now, the fu xian hasn't grown tough yet. Why don't we wait for the Dragon Boat Festival?" Princess Liyang bent her eyes and said, "I promise my tenth brother that I will give you three chances to win back your jade."

"But a piece of jade, what's so rare? If Sister Eleven wins, it's Sister Eleven." Li You curled his lips and said, "As long as Sister Eleven agrees to take this pair of bracelets as a bet at that time."

"What do you want me to do with this bracelet?" Princess Liyang said curiously.

Li You was about to speak, but Tao Niang came in and reported in a clear voice, "Your Highness, Huafei Wei, Fangyi Lu, Cui, and the beauty Zheng and talented Pei have arrived outside the hall and are looking for a meeting!"

"Please!" On the phoenix seat, Wang nodded slightly, and the beads hanging in the center of her eyebrows hit each other, making a pleasant crisp sound.

Yuan Xiu and the three quickly tidied up their clothes and sat back to their original positions.

In a short time, I saw Tao Niang leading five people to fish in. When the first person was wearing a purple wide sleeves and half arm, wearing a short collar against the deer concubine, lining the magenta Luo skirt, combing the fairy bun, the head was green, the head was green, the eyebrows were green, the eyebrows were painted diagonally red, the cheeks were silver, the forehead was yellow, and the forehead was covered with makeup. And it's the Wei Huiduan that Yuanxiu has seen.

Following her, Lu Fangwei and Cui Shuhuan. Lu Fangwei also met and went with him. Cui Shuhuan was indeed very similar to Cui Shuyu, but not as beautiful as Cui Shuyi. She was eight-s-similar, but they were inferior in brightness. Cui Shuhuan wore a blue dress. The wind passed through the palace and brushed a pool of green water on her, which was exactly red and green with Wei's.

And the beauty Zheng Shu was about the most ordinary of the five, but she inherited the position of the beauty. Yuan Xiu looked at her and glanced over and fell on the last Pei's daughter.

This Pei's Qi Niang is said to be the half-sister of Pei Shangde, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. She said that she was a sister, only two or three years older than Pei 24 Niang. This time, the other girls followed their mother to the palace, but she followed her sister-in-law.

Pei Qi, as a concubine's daughter, was able to pass the Pei family's direct daughter to receive a request from Wang's invitation. Naturally, she has a pink face. Her eyebrows are extremely open and can reach her temples. Her eyes are much larger than ordinary people. Her eyelashes are very long, but the shape of her eyes is not the common phoenix eyes and apricot eyes, but Ruo Ling. The shape is shining and attracting great attention. Among the newcomers, her origin and position are the lowest, that is, the position of Cao and Qin in the palace is the same as her, but Cao has the king of Wei, and Qin is the old man when Fengchun was still in the East Palace. Therefore, although Pei Qi looked forward to it, she was behind everyone when she acted. , looks very humble and clever.

When Princess Changyang saw this, she picked up the Luo fan in front of her and blocked half of the face. She approached Princess Dongping and said a few words. When Princess Dongping heard this, her eyes swept over Pei Qi and smiled without saying anything.

Yuan Xiu was quite surprised. At the cherry banquet that day, she only heard that Cui Shuyi, the sister of Cui Fengwu, was extraordinary. After seeing it with her own eyes, she also felt that the rumors were true. At that time, Pei was silent and unknown, and no one even mentioned it, but at this moment, Pei Qi seemed to be no less than Cui Shuyi, better than Cui Shuxuan. Potential.
