The 231st chapter palace banquet (2)

The sky is clear and the sky is clear, with high halls gathering in the distance, majestic and magnificent, with green tiles and white walls in the close-up, and the layout is fresh.

On the fifteenth of August, the prime minister, prince, royal family, and officials entered the court to celebrate the emperor's birthday and held a grand congratulation ceremony in Jiying Hall.

In addition to the civil and military officials of the current dynasty, the Khitan actually sent envoys to celebrate his birthday.

The relationship between our dynasty and the Khitan has always been awkward. Three battles in the border town, the first battle was won, and Yizhou was included in the Central Plains, but the latter two battles ended in failure. Now the Khitan sent envoys to carry gifts to celebrate the emperor's birthday, so our dynasty naturally cannot refuse.

The ladies of the imperial decrees of each palace led one or two young ladies in their teens. The ladies of each family had exquisite makeup, elegant clothes, and graceful figures, like beautiful and blooming flowers, with various postures and different styles. Nowadays, women in boudoirs are beautiful with simple and elegant styles, and few are gorgeous and ostentatious.

When walking past these little ladies, there was a light fragrance, and there was also a very strong fragrance on their bodies. I just felt that I could smell the strong fragrance just one foot away from her.

Yan Jingxiang was quite uncomfortable with the strong fragrance and couldn't help but sneeze, so she had to unknowingly avoid it and stay away.

Mrs. Chen led two little ladies, both of whom were Chen Feifei's cousins. I heard that Chen Feifei's marriage had been settled, and now she is waiting to marry in the boudoir, so naturally she will not enter the palace.

Mrs. Lu Ruoxian led Miss Lu Si. Lu Ruoxian, who is Lu Ruoqin's sister. This year, she looked at Wen Jingxian, but Yan Jingxiang was not very close to her and could not say a few words. Yan Jingxiang only pulled Mrs. Lu to speak intimately.

Later, Zheng Qianqian came to her and said she had been looking for them for a long time. It turned out that she was still surrounded by someone, who was the second sister of the Zheng family that Yan Hanyu had met in Jinling.

Lin Suxin knew that the second sister of the Zheng family was the child of her aunt, so she was naturally very kind. She pulled her to ask her grandmother how she is in good health and whether she has come to Bianjing.

Zheng Erjie'er is kind-hearted and likable. She called her aunt Lin Suxin affectionately and answered her words one by one.

Speaking of Mrs. Zheng, Lin, because she was not well-off, she was not suitable for long-distance travel. She is still stranded in Jinling and has never come to Bianjing.

When Zheng Qianqian learned that they had this relationship, she clapped happily and said, "I really didn't expect that our Zheng family and your Yan family are also relatives!"

Later, a palace maid came to pass the message, saying that Empress Shuyi invited Lin Suxin to go. Lin Suxin led the sister Yan Hanyu and Xie Ting, and it would be inconvenient for them to follow him. She told Yan Hanyu not to walk around in the palace and waited for her to come back, and after that, she followed the palace maid.

Yan Hanyu has always liked quietness, but she gathered some people all at once, and the conversation in groups was not very lively!

This time, Yan Hanyu met many people, all of whom were young wives from civil servants and generals. They were between the ages of twelve and thirteen and seventeen, and they were only introduced by Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu is the wife of the prime minister and has a first-class imperial edict. Her wives of all sizes are not as good as her and are very respectful to her.

Zheng Erjie'er is good at speaking. He has met several young ladies and is now talking. Xie Ting knows few people in Bianjing. He just met Lu Ruoxian and was gathering together to taste tea and discuss theories. Zheng Qianqian has not had many friends who can get along with her. She only felt that she was closest to Yan Hanyu and Yan Jingxiang. She pulled them and said she was anxious and accompanied her to the court room.

Yan Jingxiang thought this place was too boring, and Yan Hanyu really thought that she had gone to Gongfang and had accompanied her.

But she had been heading towards the outer palace wall. Although Yan Hanyu had not walked in the inner palace, she still realized, "Qianqian, where are we going?"

"It's so boring there. I'll take you to watch polo. I'll tell you, they're all gathered in Xilin Garden, and I'm afraid we can watch it for a while when we go."

I heard it was Xilinyuan, and Yan Hanyu understood, that was the place where men entered and left!

"Qianqian, it's not right for us to go." Yan Hanyu stopped.

"No!" Zheng Qianqian pulled her and said, "My cousins ​​and princess sisters are all there. I came to Yuehuayuan to find you to go with you. It's really okay!"

Zheng Qianqian thought she had a kind heart, but Yan Hanyu felt that she had cheated, "No wonder you said you didn't need a palace maid to follow me. It turns out that you were thinking about fighting?"

"Sister Yan, you've arrived here and will be here soon. Go and go."

"Sister, I also want to go and see polo. Can I go together?" Yan Jingxiang also advised that her temperament naturally goes wherever she is more lively. How could she be willing to miss this opportunity?

After leaving Yuehuayuan, Yan Hanyu originally wanted to seek peace for a while, but going to the polo stadium was probably even more troublesome. Moreover, she didn't want to go because she was afraid that she would see Zhao Weiji again. The man looked at her without any restraint, which really made her headache.

Zheng Qianqian is young, but she is very strong. She pulled Yan Hanyu, who was still hesitating, and simply said, "Let's go, don't think about it!"

Yan Hanyu was dragged away like this, without giving her any chance to refuse.

Xilin Garden is close to the Jinshui River, with a polo court and a shooting hall, and is also a place for martial arts examinations.

At this moment, there are many people around Xilinyuan. They are all young talents, those who play polo, those who watch polo, those who compare archery in the shooting hall, those who wear green clothes and mysterious clothes, gather to discuss the ball and discuss arrows. Nowadays, many young men are both civil and military, and are highly valued by the emperor.

With hearty laughter, freely galloping horses, a joyful scene, Xilin Garden is obviously more free than Yuehua Garden, this is the difference between men and women. Men can laugh freely, run away from horses, have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examinations, and become officials.

The young master didn't know how to be sad, but he didn't know whether those handsome young masters would still remain free and easy in the next few years?

The battle on the polo court was fierce, and I heard the sound of beating the gong, and then a thick sound. It was the guards who stopped beating the gong. "The Prince of Chu scored nine goals, and the Prime Minister's Young Master team scored seven goals!"

Yan Hanyu didn't know what was thinking while standing, but suddenly felt a familiar gaze looking at him.

She kept her head hanging away.

She was standing behind the crowd quietly and not tall, so she should not attract attention. Can he still see her when standing so far away?

The next moment I heard a loud voice coming from the platform, "Sister Yan, Sister Yan!"

It was Zheng Qianqian, who wanted to call her over. Several gazes looked back now, making it difficult for people not to pay attention!

When Yan Hanyu looked up, she saw the smiling face on the polo field. He rode on a handsome horse, tall and straight, with his robe flying, and his eyes were looking at her.

This time I really saw it.

The more you don’t want to see, the more you will see you!

Yan Hanyu turned her head and went to Zheng Qianqian.

Zheng Qianqian got on the platform and stood there and watched the polo stadium more clearly.

There was a wooden railing in front of the platform. The third princess Zhao Jiaxiu stood in front. When she saw her coming, Mingrun had a smile on her face, "You are here too."
