famous concubine

Chapter 62 Hongmen Banquet (1)
Three days later, the weather was fine, and everyone deliberately dressed up for entering the palace. Of course, Dongfangxiu and Dongfangni dared to overshadow Dongfang Wu's limelight. Dongfangyu dressed very casually, neither overbearing nor rude. The only requirement is that people can't find any faults, and it's convenient.

In order to enter the palace, she, who never wears makeup, had to put on a little makeup. This rouge color was applied to her face, which made her bright eyes like waves, her skin whiter than snow, her charm was peerless and charming.

When Dongfang Wu saw her peerless appearance, her handkerchief almost crumbled, and she didn't even notice the deep tooth marks left on her bright red lips.

During the Hundred Flowers Feast, the Empress invited almost all the young daughters of the officials in the imperial capital to enter the palace. Dongfangyu walked leisurely among the crowd, quietly admiring the luxurious scenery everywhere in the Jiuzhong Palace.

It rained continuously all night last night, and it cleared just before dawn. At this time, the path paved with blue bricks with auspicious clouds in all directions was dry, with only beautiful flowers and plants of different shapes on both sides, and glittering crystals hanging on the branches and leaves. drops of water.

Among the thin and fat girls, some acquaintances met and whispered in a low voice; not far behind Dongfang Yu, followed by a sweet-looking girl, turned her eyes and looked around excitedly. He was not familiar with the rules of the palace, so he dared to be so casual and unscrupulous.

What is particularly eye-catching is that there are many small golden bells adorned on the hem of her skirt that reaches the ground. She swayed forward, and the hem of the skirt swayed slightly, and the bells made a crisp and melodious jingle sound. , along the way, naturally attracts attention.

However, the girl didn't know that walking behind her was a beautiful woman with an elegant posture, refined from the world, like an orchid in an empty valley, staring at the budding orchid flower on her dress, listening to the clear and crisp There was a ding ding sound, the eyes gradually deepened, and the beautifully manicured nails under the long sleeves slowly and silently dug into the flesh, gradually pinching faint bloodshot.

The breeze suddenly picked up, wantonly blowing the neat hair of the girls, and even more mischievously fluttering the skirts of the sweet girls with bells.At this moment, the refined and orchid-like woman raised her jade-like delicate hand towards the small golden bell in front of her wide sleeves, and a glare of light flickered on and off.

The sweet girl was still walking forward happily, "Hey..." The sound of the cloth being torn apart by external force was particularly ear-piercing and long-lasting in the still relatively quiet crowd.

The sweet girl turned her head and saw that the hem of the skirt was firmly caught by the branches on the side of the road. She was startled, then widened her eyes, quickly covered her lips, drowning the exclamation that rolled to her lips, closed her eyes resignedly, and waited. In close contact with the earth, dyed in mud and dressed in embarrassment in front of others.

Behind her, that refined and beautiful woman who looked like an orchid, at this moment, her lips curled up, and a chilling smile appeared in her eyes.

If the sweet girl's words are poured to the end, Dongfangyu who walks ahead of her is bound to suffer disaster.

The beautiful and refined woman at the back, with a joyful and chilling smile on her beautiful lips, slowly expanded, and she almost couldn't wait to see the blue figure in the front, which was obviously unassuming but conspicuous, caught by her eyes. How messed up it would be if he fell into the mud.

She remembered seeing this blue figure twice, and that man with a flamboyant face who didn't like to be approached by others stood next to this figure as a protector... Let's see, who else can change this blue figure? The fate of a woman in clothes eating mud!

And this obnoxious girl covered with broken copper and iron, with her vulgar appreciation level, is also worthy of liking orchids?

However, before the delicate and ethereal smile at the corner of her mouth had time to spread to her cheeks, the blue figure who had been walking leisurely in front of her suddenly turned sideways, backed away a few steps in the blink of an eye, then bent down, stretched out her hand, and looked at the sweet girl. Before kissing Mother Earth thoroughly, he grasped the girl's leaning shoulders in some embarrassment.

Although the posture is not graceful and the movements are awkward, he finally saved a little bit of face for the sweet girl with the torn dress.

In the midst of surprises, the sweet girl opened her eyes wide, jumped up vigorously, opened her arms, and danced and laughed excitedly with Dongyu in her arms, thanking her repeatedly.

"Hello, my name is Duan Xiling. I was really grateful to have you just now, thank you, thank you so much." The sweet girl's voice was like a yellow warbler, and she smiled brightly. Two deep dimples appeared on her cheeks. The little bell made a pleasant tinkling sound with her movements, and her delicate and mellow voice was really beautiful.

"You're welcome." Dongfang Yu smiled slightly, his eyes flicked back intentionally or unintentionally with a faint coldness, "Saving others is equivalent to saving oneself, anyone can do it."

Duan Xiling was startled, obviously not quite understanding what she meant.

"By the way, my name is Dongfang Yu. There are maids here. You can change clothes with them." Dongfang Yu smiled and pushed Duan Xiling lightly. The fabric on the hem of Duan Xiling's skirt is clearly made of soft and smooth quicksand. The wind was not strong just now. Logically speaking, even if the hem of the skirt floats over the branches, it will not be easily caught...

After Duan Xiling thanked Dongfangyu repeatedly, he followed the maid and left the brigade.

Dongfang continued to follow the crowd, she slightly raised her head to look at the cornices and golden tiles on the palace, her eyes rolled, gradually giving birth to a charming brilliance.

Suddenly, I felt a strong and sinister gaze on my back that pierced through thousands of years of ice-cold eyes, quietly entangled her like a dormant poisonous snake, this feeling... There is a long-lost but not unfamiliar sense of familiarity.

The girl frowned slightly, slowly recalling in her mind.After a long while, she finally remembered when she had this feeling. It was when she took Feng Yu to the street to buy a belt for Mo Bai. There was once a girl with an indistinct appearance standing quietly outside the jewelry store. , and used to stare at her with such cold eyes.

She still remembered that she felt someone peeping and turned her head to see that there was a maid next to the girl holding a Guerlain plant in her hand.

If she read correctly just now, the girl walking behind Duan Xiling, the embroidery fluttering in the wind on her luxurious dress is exactly the orchids in full bloom.The material and style of that dress are by no means what ordinary official women can wear.

A long way across Yunxiandu, the fragrance is like orchids.

A word that was widely spread in the imperial capital suddenly flashed in Dongfangyu's mind, and she finally understood what it meant when she saw a maidservant holding a Guerlain plant in her hand that day. Leng Lanruo, the owner of Youlan County.

But she has never met this princess, so she really doesn't understand where the resentment towards her comes from.

It was near the end of the hour, and the palace servants led the ladies into the Hongde Hall to sit for a while, and then began the luncheon.

The luxury and grandeur of the royal family is really not something ordinary people can enjoy!

Sitting at the table, Dongfang Yuduan was filled with emotion, watching the maids serving dazzling dishes one after another, his index finger moved wildly.
