frivolous princess

Chapter 207

The embarrassment on Shangguan Fuxue's face still persisted, she lowered her head, and heard the queen call them up.She was suspicious for a long time before thinking about going to see Nangong Lieyan.

Nangong Lieyan's throat was still itchy, and he coughed lightly from time to time. He was rubbing his throat when he felt Shangguan Fuxue look over.He was suddenly upset, turned his head, and gave her a sharp eye knife.It seems to be saying, look at your good deeds!

Shangguan Fuxue trembled in her heart, but straightened her back on the face, coughed lightly, and followed Yingtong up, Nangong Lieyan followed closely.

Only then did Shangguan Fuxue see the Empress Dowager's face clearly. Although she was sixty years old, the Empress Dowager did not look old at all. Not only was her body strong, but even her face had fewer wrinkles than people of the same age.It's just that although she always had a kind smile on her face, there was always a kind of tiredness and depression deliberately hidden between her brows and eyes.

Shangguan Fuxue secretly turned her eyes to the emperor, and the moment she saw the emperor's face, she couldn't help shivering, not because of the majesty of the emperor, but because of his familiar face.Shangguan Fuxue's mind turned quickly, and suddenly remembered——

As soon as she thought about it, she sighed in her heart—it's terrible!
Shangguan Fuxue suddenly felt that something was wrong all over her body.It's like rolling around on a pegboard, and everything feels vivid.

Seeing her looking at the emperor in a daze, Nangong Lieyan reminded: "Why don't you salute the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen?!"

Only now did Shangguan Fuxue salute one by one, the queen mother said lightly: "Since you are here, please sit beside me."

I don't know who I said this to, Shangguan Fuxue looked suspiciously at Nangong Lieyan, but Nangong Lieyan bowed to the queen mother and said: "Thank you, grandma!" Then he went to the east and sat down on the seat of the prince and grandson.

The relationship between the Empress Dowager and Nangong Lieyan was originally not close, but it would not be too estranged, but since Nangong Lieyan's mother (the eldest princess of Beichen Kingdom) Long Yurou had an accident, the Empress Dowager has been a little bit indifferent to him asked.Although it's not overly indifferent, it doesn't talk occasionally like before.

Shangguan Fuxue had heard the old lady mention before that the princess was originally the flesh in the hands of the former emperor and the queen mother, so it can be said that they spoiled her to the extreme.The eldest princess has never been arrogant because of favors, she advances and retreats calmly in everything, her nature is indifferent but not cold.Inside and outside the palace, they are very popular.

The eldest princess has reached the age when she should get married. Both the first emperor and the queen mother are willing to obey her own wishes in this regard.However, a major event at that time changed everything.As for what happened, the old lady did not say.It's just that at that time, the eldest princess had to marry Nangong Qingtian, the highest commander of the three armies at that time.As a result, Nangong Qingtian was named Beichen's first king with a different surname.

The accident five years ago caused the eldest princess to die.

Shangguan Fuxue thought to himself, the queen mother changed her attitude towards Nangong Lieyan because of this.You can't hate, you can't love, you can't love.It's also quite, heart-wrenching.

Shangguan Fuxue thought for a while with her eyelids downcast, and when she raised her eyes, the Empress Dowager was sizing her up, and finally there was a smile on her face, "You are the Shangguan Fuxue who was famous at the Lanting Yahui earlier?"

Shangguan Fuxue nodded neither humble nor overbearing: "Back to the queen mother, she is the daughter of the courtier."

The queen mother looked her around again with a smile, "I heard Xiuqin mentioned you before, and your face before was not flattering. Now that your face has recovered, it is also beautiful, with eight or nine points of Yun's charm." Praise Nodding, he suddenly asked: "Have you agreed?" (Xiuqin is the maiden name of Mrs. Shangguan.)
Shangguan Fuxue blushed slightly, and secretly glanced at Nangong Lieyan, not knowing how to answer.

She glanced at it, but the Queen Mother understood it, and then smiled and said: "I often hear your grandmother mentioning you, saying that you are a considerate person, and you often do unexpected things to please her. The Ai family likes filial piety the most." , and an informal child."

She said, raising her hand, "Go and sit on your father's seat."

Shangguan Fuxue walked to the guest table where his family was, and as soon as Fang sat down, he heard the old lady say from the side: "This man is getting old, and he sees things lightly. It seems that the Queen Mother is just like the old man."

Shangguan Fuxue smiled, and said: "Perhaps the Empress Dowager has been working hard recently, and she is a little tired." She said it casually, which was regarded as a response to the old lady.

The old lady shook her head and sighed, "This man's heart is full of flesh, and he can't bear bumps. If he encounters too many things, his heart will get tired."

Shangguan Fuxue just smiled lightly and didn't answer.

Sitting on the golden palace, the Empress Dowager's gaze was sometimes calm and sometimes soft, accepting the congratulations, compliments and flattery from the princes and grandchildren, officials and foreign envoys, she was overwhelmed at the moment.The Empress Dowager always had a decent smile on her face, but she was not overly joyful or excited.

No matter how Shangguan Fuxue looked at it, she felt that it was a bit perfunctory.

On the guest seat below the Empress Dowager, on the left are the princes and grandchildren and foreign envoys, and on the right are the seats for the officials and their families.

Shangguan Fuxue discovered that Longevity King Long Xiangtian was among them.He was wearing a blue brocade suit, and against his ostentatious aura, he felt very eye-catching.At this moment, she remembered that the last time she saw her was when Su's mother had an accident.A lot of things happened later, judging from his nervousness towards Shangguan Miaoge, he didn't show up to trouble him.I don't know if it is these days, but he is not in Yanjing City.

Long Xiangtian noticed Shangguan Fuxue's gaze, and quickly gave her a look, his eyes were full of resentment and resentment, and he even gritted his teeth.Yi Wang Long Yaotian next to him saw him looking here, and also looked over. The moment he saw her, his almost indifferent expression softened a little.

He pursed his thin lips deeply, always looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze.Earlier, he had heard people mention Shangguan Fuxue from other people's mouths, most of them were praises.Looking at her now, she is neatly dressed, not ostentatious but very eye-catching.With a smile on her face, she looked calm but not restrained, generous but not out of proportion.Her skin is better than snow, and her whole body exudes a good temperament.It's neither too flamboyant nor too introverted, giving people a proper experience.

Long Yaotian slowly raised the corners of his lips, with a half-smile, and finally moved his eyes away.

The guest seats on the left were seated in turn by several princes and grandchildren, the first seat was the eldest grandson Long Yan, followed by the second prince Long Xiaotian, the third prince Long Yaotian, and the sixth prince Long Xiangtian.Because the fourth prince died of a serious illness the year before last, and the fifth prince died young, there are only three princes present.

Long Yan wore a light yellow dress, his face was like a crown of jade, and he always had a dignified and gentle smile.Sitting next to him was the second prince, Long Xiaotian. He was dressed in a dark gray robe, embroidered with golden threads, the light was hidden in the original color of the robe, but it didn't look dim, but gave people a kind of awe-inspiring life. fearful courage.There was a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were cold and deep, making people afraid to look at him.

Shangguan Fuxue's heart trembled, feeling a little uncomfortable.This person, like the emperor, has been seen before.At that time, she knew that these two people were not ordinary people.Although she guessed that they were high and powerful people, she didn't guess that they were the emperor and prince!
Shangguan Fuxue was faintly worried, and turned to look at Nangong Lieyan.At this time, he was sitting in the guest seat behind the prince, chatting and laughing freely with the prince and grandson next to him, the two-color brocade belt on his head followed his movements, making it difficult to hide his suave and romantic style.

She slightly curled her lips into a smile, and then heard a low and charming laugh from the side: "Sister San, let me catch you right now."

Shangguan Fuxue turned her face pale and glanced at Shangguan Miaoyun, and said, "Miaoyun, what are you catching again? You're a ghost all day long."

Shangguan Miaoyun pursed her lips, her eyes lit up again, and said playfully, "Third Sister, tell me, when the song and dance performance will be performed later, which one will Sister Miaoge's performance be ranked in?"

Shangguan Fuxue shook her head and said, "How can I know the order of the programs? I have to ask my second uncle who works in Taichang Temple."

Shangguan Miaoyun smiled and didn't care, just said: "Thinking that the dance that Sister Miaoge will dance is choreographed by the third sister, I can't help but be curious and want to see it."

"If you want to see it, what's the point of waiting."

The eldest lady smiled and said: "Your sister is like this, she always can't calm down, and when she gets to a lively place, she just thinks about having fun."

The old lady also laughed and said: "This girl always has to be naughty before she gets married. Let her be left alone while there are still two years left."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.While the family was chatting, the banquet had already begun as usual.

After pushing the cups for a round, I saw a dozen or so elegant women wearing thin yellow gauze clothes, with streamers wrapped around their arms and waists, stepping barefoot on the carpet in the middle, and music poured out from the hands of the musicians.The women use their right foot as the axis, and with the music, they are like soft willow branches, rotating and swinging lightly.

The music seemed to come from outside the sky, clear and ethereal.Listening to the music, my body seemed to become a wisp of smoke, soaring up with the breeze, light and comfortable.The troubles and melancholy in the body and mind are slowly washed away unconsciously, leaving only a peaceful feeling.

The girls followed the music, like blooming flower buds, scattered from the outside to the inside, and the rain of flowers scattered down the sky. A woman as beautiful as a fairy, like a newly bloomed orchid, followed the lightness His movements slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
