Du Xuechun's somewhat surprised expression fell into Du Heng's eyes, and even Du Heng's eyes couldn't help but soften up, "This is what your mother wore when she was dancing. It was also because of this dance that Shuang'er and I formed a bond. happy match."
Hearing this, Du Xuechun recovered. She didn't want to hear Du Heng's memory here, "Then thank you Daddy."
...
At this time, within the Imperial City of Kyoto.
The graceful queen is wearing a phoenix crown, looking at the father-in-law on the side, "Is the prince not here yet?" Yesterday, in full view, she lost to Feng Xuanche, a concubine. What a shame, now that even the invitation is late?
With a pleasing smile on his face, the father-in-law said, "His Royal Highness has been waiting outside the door for a long time."
"Declare him to come in." The woman's complexion did not change much, she was still cold, as if she was still blaming Feng Xuanming for losing the match.
The man was tall and straight, and when he saw the woman's expression, he bowed slightly. "Mother Queen."
"Today's state banquet, what are your plans?" The queen asked Feng Xuanming without a chance to breathe.
Hearing this, Feng Xuanming was a little stunned. He naturally knew the queen's plan. However, Du Xuechun still appeared in his mind. After hesitating for a while, he said, "How does the queen think about the eldest lady in Xiangfu?"
"Miss?" The queen turned her head and looked at Feng Xuanming.
"Yes."
The queen's brows suddenly frowned and said, "Do you know that Du Qingheng has two patrons behind Guo Gong Mansion and Xiang Mansion. That young lady? It seems that I heard that he grew up in the countryside?"
Seeing that the queen rejected Du Xuechun in such a way but praised Du Qingheng, Feng Xuanming's eyes also brought some disappointment. After a while, he said, "My son, I just think this person is quite magical... although she did not grow up in Xiangfu , But she has the ability to do it, and the son admires her behavior."
Although Feng Xuanming's words were explaining, but the queen couldn't hear the affection for Du Xuechun in these words, she stared at Feng Xuanming.
"Appreciation is appreciation. You are a person who wants to become a great cause. Naturally, you know what to do and what not to do." The queen's words were accompanied by a warning, which shocked Feng Xuanming.
"I know." Feng Xuanming remembered what Feng Xuanche said yesterday. Isn't his favorite woman Du Xuechun? If it is really Du Xuechun...
Feng Xuanming clenched his fists and fell into entanglement.
Seeing Feng Xuanming's gaffe, the queen's expression was very ugly. What magical power does this eldest lady of Xiangfu have to fascinate her son like this? It seems that I will meet her for a while today.
...
Outside the door of Xiangfu.
Two luxurious carriages were waiting outside the door. Du Qingheng's face was full of spring breeze, and her small face was even more charming in her pink dress. The clothes presented her graceful figure in front of everyone, even the man passing by the door could not look away. She half-covered her face with a handkerchief, and her heart throbbed at the thought of Song Qingyu's advice last night.
No matter what, she must stand out at today's state banquet, let the emperor and empress look at each other with admiration, and let Feng Xuanming... fall in love with herself.
In addition, let the other ladies take a look. You can't compete with her. In terms of family background and appearance, which family can the young lady compete with her? These thoughts swept away the worries of the recent period. She took a deep breath, and absolutely must not let the disaster star's actions affect her mood.
Du Heng stood at the door and was talking to the housekeeper. Du Qingheng tidied up his clothes and greeted him respectfully, "Father is well."
After all, she hadn't seen Du Heng for a long time. At this moment, her posture was dignified and generous, which made Du Heng's frowning brows loosen up, with some approval, nodded, "Okay, very good."
Although Song Qingyu was quite dissatisfied with what Song Qingyu did during this period, Du Qingheng's daughter was the only bargaining chip he had in participating in the conquest.
Seeing Du Heng showing a smile to him, Du Qingheng was overjoyed. It seems that his dress is really pretty today, and even his father praises him.
Who knows, what Du Heng said in the next second surprised her, "When your big sister comes out, you can start."
"Big sister?" Du Qingheng's face became difficult to look. How is this going? The state banquet is so solemn, how can you take this catastrophe!
Du Heng nodded and said, "The queen mother wants to see Xue'er. Heng'er, your eldest sister enters the palace for the first time, so please help me out. Don't let people read the jokes of Xiangfu." Du Heng still did not forget to ask. With Du Qingheng.
After hearing this, Du Qingheng became a little flustered. The queen mother wants to see Du Xuechun? Could it be that you want to meet the prostitute of Xiangfu? She was unwilling on her face. She felt that the only thing she couldn't compare to Du Xuechun was probably this.
But for a moment, Du Xuechun walked out of the door, her face was indifferent and dignified, and she didn't even see any frivolity in her steps. Such a graceful posture made Du Qingheng's blood almost solidified. How can you let this calamity enter the palace with yourself!
Moreover, Du Xuechun's dress today is so charming! He clearly wanted to seduce Feng Xuanming!
However, before Du Qingheng could speak again, Du Heng called the coachman, and the coachman placed the stool under the horse to signal the ladies to get on the bus.
Looking at the carriages at the door, Du Qingheng took a deep breath.
"Second Miss, get in the car quickly." Seeing Du Qingheng's expression on the side, the maid knew what she was thinking. But this time Du Xuechun entered the palace because of the empress dowager's decree, and no one can say a word. Du Qingheng naturally knew this truth too, she kept sucking deeply to calm herself down.
...
Inside the palace, there is endless noise.
The exquisite glazed tiles were dazzled by the morning light and shone with dazzling light. The red brick walls are always high everywhere, but it is desirable. The mottled gates do not lose their majesty, and everything is in order.
Today, all kinds of flowers are placed everywhere, and the decorations in the palace are very bright. Red lanterns are lit in the palaces and courtyards, which is like a New Year's celebration.
Countless palace ladies shuttled among the crowd with exquisite cakes in their hands, which proved the importance of this grand event.
What everyone is nervous about is not just this state banquet. It's the meaning of this state banquet. The daughters of these important ministers in the imperial court, each dressed up in splendor, constantly filling their faces with rouge. They understood the meaning of today. The emperor deliberately chose a concubine for the prince, and several other princes had reached the age of marriage. They want to impress the emperor and several princes today. If they are lucky, they can become princes in one fell swoop.
It is precisely because of this that everyone looked at a certain yard in the palace with affection, using their whole body to solve the problem, holding the shelf of the daughter. Every gesture is fascinating.
Du Qingheng got out of the carriage a long time ago and went to the Royal Garden alone, feeling angrily in her heart, so she wouldn't bring the disaster star! Let Du Xuechun find it by yourself!
