Chapter 38 Spring Banquet


The eldest princess is the eldest daughter of the emperor, and the first half of her life can be described as full of legends.Lively since childhood, he was favored by the emperor and learned martial arts.The first son-in-law came from a martial arts competition to recruit relatives. The two had been in love for several years. Later, her husband took command of the expedition. He went to pacify three times, but never returned.

She was posthumously named the eldest princess, and she is still single to this day.

The emperor was afraid that she would be bored by herself, so he ordered her to take charge of the spring and autumn banquets, especially the spring banquet, which announced the prosperity of the Song Dynasty to the world, and predicted that the new year would be even better. Of course, it was also a feast of flowers.In spring, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, and the eldest princess will order envoys from all over the world to bring exotic flowers and place them all over the bustling streets of the capital.

If men and women of the right age can walk out of the house with a flower today, and walk towards the street of ten miles of flowers, if they meet their beloved on the road, they will bring flowers to him.

As for the sons and daughters of princes and generals, they will gather at the eldest princess's mansion, reciting poems and painting.

When it was still daylight, the lamps on the ten miles of flowery streets were all lit up, and there were pictures of all kinds of ladies.The bright yellow light illuminates the ladies with different postures, their charming smiles float on the paper, and their enchanting figures attract people's imagination.

It's time to go, Ouyang Qing looked at the shredded clothes on the bed.

This dress was tailor-made by Xu Rongniang and the three sisters to the tailor shop. They chose the same style but different colors.They are all two-color flowers and gold silk wrapped around their backs, and they are dressed in blue background with golden butterfly and arrow sleeves.

It's just that Ouyang Li is red, Ouyang Qin is lotus root pink, and she is emerald jade.

"Miss... what should I do?" Xiaodie walked around anxiously, she never expected Xu Rongniang to make such a move.

Ouyang Qing sneered, and said: "It's hard for her son to kneel down in the ancestral hall for such a big thing. She still grabbed me and held me tightly."

If she changed her clothes, she would become the outlier among the three, and instead, it would give Xu Rongniang the opportunity to spread that the young lady is so arrogant and domineering that she wouldn't even wear the clothes given by her stepmother. "She wants her daughter to show off, and that's it..."

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and a maid said at the door: "Miss, the tailor said that the clothes you ordered have arrived."

……

The carriage had already stopped at the side door, Xu Rongniang brought Lin Huier together at the side door, Xu Rongniang put on a good face at first, but seeing Ouyang Qing coming, her smile also sank.

Xu Rongniang glanced at Ouyang Qing and narrowed her eyes.The clothes were the same as the ones I gave Ouyang Qing.The emerald-colored waistcoat made her complexion fairer, and the arrow-sleeve dress of King Butterfly on a blue background made her look more upright and pretty.

Seeing Ouyang Qing coming, Ouyang Li's complexion also became extremely ugly. Ouyang Qing was originally born well, but after being raised in the mansion for the past few months, his complexion became more and more beautiful and radiant, and the jade-colored waistcoat he was wearing looked very attractive More pretty and pure.The three of them wore the same style and stood together, but they were not as good-looking as Ouyang Qing.She had long begged her mother to destroy that dress, and if she couldn't get it, she wouldn't let anyone get it, but she didn't expect her mother to do so, and she was really mad at her.

Ouyang Qing, Ouyang Qin and Ouyang Li were sitting in the carriage. Although they were in the same carriage, they had nothing to say, and they became cold for a while.

After a while, Ouyang Qin seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. He glanced at Ouyang Qing weakly and asked: "My sister has been here for a long time, but you and I rarely meet each other. I have long wanted to ask my sister, what about the days in the countryside?" What's it like?"

Hearing this, Ouyang Li also looked at Ouyang Qing.

"It's not rich, but it's leisurely. Although the number of people is small, there is no time for loneliness." The life in the countryside is hard, and the person who delivers the food delivers it once a month. When it's time to cook, Ouyang Qing often eats women leftover meals.At night, the quilt was as cold as iron, Xiaodie was in a hurry, she always warmed the quilt first and let Ouyang Qing sleep, but in the middle of the night, Ouyang Qing would always wake up from the cold.Of course, Ouyang Qing would not say these things, and she would not let anyone see the joke.

Ouyang Li sneered, looked at Ouyang Qing and said, "It's really as good as you said, so why don't you go back?" It's blocking my eyes here.

Ouyang Qing looked at Ouyang Li and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. He looked at Ouyang Li's bones numb, and then withdrew his eyes and said, "My parents are here, so I won't travel far. Since father and grandmother are here, How can I be so unfilial and hide alone?"

While speaking, the carriage had already arrived at the Princess' Mansion.

There are people serving at the door, and these distinguished ladies are invited to get off the carriage.All the personal maids who should follow to serve, all went back with the carriage.

Xiaodie looked at Ouyangqing worriedly, and Ouyangqing smiled, reassuring her.

Strings of lanterns were hung with silk ropes in the air, and when the door was opened, one walked onto a red carpet made of petals.

Miss Yiying walked in giggling, covering half of her face with the small round fan in her hand, as if she was extremely shy, but also had a sultry aura.

Yingying and Yanyan walked among them, and from time to time someone looked at Ouyang Qing and asked in a low voice, "Who is that? It's the first time I've seen you."

"The ones walking together are members of Ouyang's family. They should be the eldest lady of Anyang Hou's mansion who just came back."

"Really?" The man looked at the three of them thoughtfully, then turned his eyes away and squinted.Over there, a group of princes and elder brothers were guessing lantern riddles around the lanterns. The servants in the eldest princess's mansion were responsible for recording. If they guessed a lantern riddle correctly, they would be given a peony. After a while, the few people in the front row had peonies.

There was only one person who was not interested, standing outside and looking at everyone.

The woman gently covered half of her face with a round fan, and the cranes embroidered on the round fan were flying together. She walked slowly towards Bai Jingxuan, and when she approached, she smiled and said, "Why don't you guess the last one?" guess?"

Bai Jingxuan glanced at her, the girl was petite and lovely, she was wearing a pink dress, and she walked like a peach blossom falling down, many young masters had already turned their heads to look at her, asking whose girl was so beautiful.

The girl could no longer hold back her smile, and said angrily, "Guess the lantern riddle!"

You young masters have already turned their eyes away, and already know who the woman is.

"Don't guess!" Bai Jingxuan finally let out a sympathetic voice.

"I heard that Ouyang Qing is here." The woman said with a blank expression, she no longer wanted to maintain a false smile. "If you don't win the first place, give those flowers to her?"

"Can you stop joining in the fun with Ping An?" It's not enough to have a gossip guy by your side, and you need another one.

"Then you admit it?" Usually, letting him come is like trying to push a duck to a shelf, but this year he came here by himself.At first, I thought it would take a lot of talking to let him take a look with me. He is already 20 years old, and he still keeps his body like a jade.Nong's mother nagged in her ear every day.

"Sister." Bai Jingxuan looked at her with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Just learn from other ladies."
