Chapter 453: How is she?
Chapter 453: Why is it her?
It was getting late, and Le Youyou followed the crowd to the courtyard surrounded by flower buds. The palace lanterns were raised high with wooden frames to illuminate the entire courtyard. About forty or fifty noble girls in the courtyard were chatting and laughing, while the palace maids were busy placing fruit plates.
Because Le Youyou, who was dressed in a unique manner, has become the focus of the women present this time, even if she intends to ask the nanny to arrange herself in the corner of the corridor, it will be useless.
All the female family turned their heads to look at her intentionally or unintentionally and whispered and laughed loudly. She sat in her own position and looked at the arrangement in the backyard. The eastward direction was the queen mother's phoenix position.
The various patterns woven by riveted gold on the phoenix throne not only reflect the empress dowager's rights, but also secretly use the brilliance to reflect, thus forming a posture of being arrogant without anger.
Following the left and right edges of the phoenix position were noble ladies related to the royal family. The only thing that surprised her but confused her was that the three concubines who were supposed to be sitting at the head of the phoenix position.
As a result, there was no one, and Gu Ji sat in the corner of the other side like her. Even Jinzhu was arranged to chatter around Gu Ji.
This incredible ranking, in addition to her own requirements, even those with discerning eyes can see that this is the arrangement of a person with intention, but the subsequent development of the matter verifies Le Youyou's idea, and she became the first victim of this incredible ranking.
"The Empress Dowager arrived-"
A sharp and thin voice suddenly opened the beginning of the Tanxiang Flower Feast tonight. The noble ladies of the royal family who were originally talking were dignified and generous in saluting to the Empress Dowager in a golden green phoenix robe and said in unison: "We have seen the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, a thousand years old, a thousand years old..."
Le Youyou slightly raised her head and watched the empress dowager walking in front of her with a dignified demeanor and lotus steps. She lowered her head slightly but didn't want to stop in front of her.
The queen mother turned slightly and looked down at the woman kneeling on the ground, wearing dark red and black gold. She couldn't help but frown and asked in a stern voice: "Do you know where this is today?"
Le Youyou glanced at her sleeves, frowned slightly, and quickly thought about how to answer the Queen Mother's question. Jin Zhu opposite her watched Le Youyou begged for being questioned by the Queen Mother.
However, Gu Ji clenched her fists and looked at Le Youyou, who used this method to attract the attention of the queen mother and seek other attention. The hatred for her in her heart increased by two points.
"Where is the Queen Mother asking you? She can't answer quickly..."
The eunuch's sharp voice made Le Youyou frown, and the empress dowager looked at the aggressive Eunuch Xu gently, "Please raise your head and let the Ai family see..."
Le Youyou knew that this must have happened, but at this moment she had to raise her head. The light ink-colored watery eyes clearly reflected the appearance of the queen mother. The candlelight in the palace lanterns around her were refracted by her eyes, showing a shining light in the emerald, which made the queen mother lose her mind.
After a moment, the queen mother shook her sleeve and poked Le Youyou's forehead with her jade finger, "Little girl Youyou, why are you so naughty?"
Le Youyou was stunned and looked at the empress dowager in surprise. She couldn't help but suspect that the empress dowager could see through her at first sight. She bit her lip and looked at the empress dowager, slightly at a loss.
"Empress Dowager, you admit your mistake. She is not the Le Youyou, the Zhan Prince's Mansion. She is the fiancée of Mr. Yun Qing." Jin Zhu cleared her throat and explained to the empress dowager "kindly", but the empress dowager suddenly felt doubt and frowned, "Oh?"
"Go back to Grandma Huang, Miss Le is indeed the fiancée brought by Mr. Yun Qing, not the King of War... The Le Youyou from the King of War."
Gu Ji stepped forward and gave a slight tribute to explain. Le Youyou looked at the Empress Dowager and the other two with confusion, but she did not expect that the Empress Dowager would actually help herself up and carefully look at herself and said: "There is indeed all kinds of wonders in this world. Although the Ai family has heard of the same name and surname, they have never thought that they would be so similar at this time and are people with the same name and surname..."
Le Youyou looked at the queen mother with frivolous eyes. Although she looked surprised on her face, the light-hearted one just now told her that the queen mother just didn't believe it.
She couldn't help but smile without looking for traces and really broke free from the empress dowager's hands and explained: "Reporting to the empress dowager, there are all kinds of wonders in the world. I also came to heaven and found another person with the same name and surname as me and the same appearance, but we have different personalities, which are incorrectly different. Therefore, for the sake of convenience, everyone called me Miss Le."
The queen mother raised her eyebrows, turned around and looked at Gu Ji and smiled, "Is it really as Miss Le said?"
Gu Ji replied politely: "Grandma Huang, Miss Le's words are absolutely true. Miss Le is dressed so special today. She must know that every noble girl will perform a special skill before the tanus flowers bloom today, and she must be fully prepared."
"Oh!" The queen mother's eyes sank, and she smiled and said as she walked: "Since that's the case, the Ai family should take their seats quickly."
Le Youyou's lips twitched, looking at Gu Ji who had finally recovered his nature, but Gu Ji smiled gently at herself at this moment, as if she kindly helped her to help her escape.
The relationship between the two is indeed very good in the outside world. However, Le Youyou has another understanding of this kind of "kind help" on the surface, but fate is not so simple waiting for her.
Before one wave was resolved, another wave started again. Eunuch Xu urged her to go to the stage specially opened by the central government to prepare for the performance. She glanced at all the noble girls' indignant little eyes, and walked to the imperial stage with great collapse.
The palace lantern shone on her very thoughtfully, and the candlelight from top to bottom hit Le Youyou's skirt. The refraction from various angles made the hem of the lotus skirt reflected on the light red and beautiful lotus flowers on the ground.
Suddenly, lotus bloomed from the ground like magic, "Wow—"
Everyone looked at the sudden blooming lotus flowers and started to talk about it. Even the Queen Mother couldn't help but open her mouth slightly in amazement.
Le Youyou and the others also looked at the lotus on the ground in surprise. Suddenly a plan flashed through their minds. They could only rely on the dance about "Lotus" that the dancers of Tianhe Guoliyuan in their impression.
She raised her hands slightly to make a gesture of a lotus flower in bud, her wide sleeves hang down her arms as white as jade lotus roots, and her steps slightly open.
She moved agilely, her body rotated, and the lotus around her feet were like lotus growing step by step, shaking and moving, and her frown and smiled as if she was Sifan's lotus fairy.
