Chapter 140: Birthday Ceremony (Part II)
After a simple breakfast, King Xiao asked someone to bring the picture scroll sent by Yao Huatang yesterday. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Cuinon and Chifu held a scroll on one side and slowly unfolded the painting.
The four beauties come to life on the page.
It's me, Xie Anruo, Fan Shuangcheng and Kong Qingzhuo!
King Xiao got up from the chair in amazement, took my hand and approached me to take a closer look.
The people in the painting are all dressed up by An Ruo and Shuangcheng on the day they came to Xiao Wangfu. Shuangcheng is dressed in a garnet red riding and archery costume, holding a long sword, standing upright under the colorful pink plum tree, ready to dance. I stood under the plum tree next to the steps of the Flower Pavilion wearing a cloak of green and yellow gold feather veil, smiling and looking at Shuangcheng, surrounded by An Ruo in an emerald jacket. Qing Zhuo stood on the steps of the Flower Pavilion in a gray squirrel skin jacket and a piece of dim sum in his hand, looking at Shuangcheng intently.
Qingzhuo's coquettishness and loveliness, An Ruo's wisdom and coquettishness, and Shuangcheng's beautiful and heroic spirit are all painted exactly right. I couldn't help but say to King Xiao: "I didn't expect that Master Yao is also a person who is good at painting. ”
King Xiao also said curiously: "The situation was chaotic that day, and he was able to remember a few of you so clearly. He looked at it and said with a smile: "Xiaoguan is like a spring flower, looking forward to the brilliance, Huatang painting is very good!"
My gaze fell on the face of Anruo in the painting.
"Master Yao sent this painting, but what else did you say?"
"Talked to me about some things in the court. I didn't say anything else, except that this painting was specially sent to congratulate you on your birthday. ”
I smiled and said, "That day, Master Yao had some contact to help the eldest lady of the Xie family. Now I have specially sent this painting to reproduce the scene of that day, and I can't think too much about it. Mr. Yao is ...... to Miss Xie."
I stopped and didn't say any more, and if I continued to say it, my words would be inappropriate, and Yu Anruo's reputation would be damaged.
King Xiao pondered for a while, "If Hua Tang can marry the daughter of the Xie family, this king will naturally be happy to see it! But this Xie family, I'm afraid that it is not so simple, will allow the Yao family to marry." Do you know that the second son of his family has just been married to King Wei's cousin. This is tantamount to openly stating that the Xie family supports King Wei, and then supports the crown prince of King Wei. ”
I was silent.
In addition, the Xie family let Changruo enter the court as a member of the East Palace, and Huo Changfeng, the father of the Huo family, the former daughter-in-law of the Xie family, was tried to protect him in front of Emperor Wei by Concubine Shu and the crown prince. All these signs indicate the position of the Xie family.
Now it is natural that he will not give his daughter to Yao Huatang, the right-hand man of King Xiao's lineage.
Unless......
I looked at King Xiao, "If Master Yao really has a heart for Miss Xie, why don't you give it a try." If the Xie family wanted to remain neutral, they would naturally allow Master Yao. Being so impartial and having a close relationship with both factions, so that they can be left and right, is also a common thing for many families who have gone through several dynasties!"
King Xiao nodded and said, "You can give it a try." ”
I smiled.
There is another meaning that I haven't said, even if the Xie family is now a princeling, if you can take the opportunity of the marriage of Yao and Xie to move your affection, maybe there will be a turnaround. Or, in terms of Xie Funian's relationship with Gu Fu in the past, it is unknown whether he can turn to support King Xiao.
It's just that I don't know if Chang Ruo marries Lin Zhao'er, many things will still be the same as before.
Even if there is a matter of me using the horizontal sword method to save Xie Dagongzi, I don't dare to say that Xie Fu will definitely change his ways.
King Xiao raised his voice and called, "Someone is coming." Invite Mr. Yao to the Freedom Hall. Outside, Xiao Anzi's voice answered. King Xiao turned to me and smiled, "If you don't remind me of the reason in this painting, this king will almost be negligent." Hua Tang seems to be an uninhibited person, but he is actually a shy person. Since he sent this painting, most of them have already been moved by Miss Xie's heart. He rested in Zhuangzi's guest room yesterday, and this king went to ask him, if he could confirm this matter, he would get what he wanted, and this king could also get a lot of help from the Xie family. ”
I said no more and sent him out quietly.
Seeing that Cuinong also retreated, Chi Fu Fang whispered: "On the ninth day of the first month, Miss asked the maid to send a message to Xiang Chuan, and asked the second prince to ask Huo Changfeng why he did not ask for credit for the eldest prince, didn't Xiang Chuan say that Xie Gongzi's little servant hugged Pu and avoided him? Presumably he was going to marry the daughter of the Lin family, so he hurriedly drew a line with us." Why should the young lady bother with his sister's reputation now!"
I pondered for a moment, and looked out of the window indifferently, "Brother Changruo probably thought that I asked Xiang Chuan to find him to ask him about the truth of marrying Lin Zhao, but he felt that he couldn't live with me, so he had to avoid it. Actually, I love King Xiao now, how can I be worthy of him!"
Shicai Chifu and Cuinong had already spread the painting on the table, I reached out and brushed it on the painting, and said in a low voice: "Work hard for An Ruo, isn't it also for King Xiao and myself!"
Chi Fu shook her head: "Why does Miss say this about herself! If you don't think that Master Yao is a rare person, and she is also a good match for Miss Xie, Miss will never talk to the prince to remind her." ”
"Now it's just a matter of whether the two of you have this creation!" I waved my hand for Chifu to put the painting away, but suddenly paused.
Chifu followed my gaze and read on the inscription: The hall is full of three thousand drunken guests.
I muttered: "'The hall is full of flowers and drunk with three thousand guests, and one sword is frosty and cold in fourteen states'? This Master Yao is so bold!"
Suddenly, there was a high-five.
It stands out in a quiet room.
I turned my head to look at it, and I couldn't help but widen my eyes - Mo Di!
Yes, it's Mo Di, not Yao Huatang.
Actually appeared in the inner room!
Mo Di casually waved his hand on Chifu, and Chifu suddenly fell down and fell on the table.
I opened my mouth to scream, but he bullied me and covered my mouth.
A low, cold voice whispered in my ear, "If you don't call someone, I'll let go." Otherwise, you're in trouble!"
This scene is familiar.
I nodded hesitantly.
He slowly removed the big hand covering my face and said soothingly, "I'm not here to kill you! The woman who can chant 'One Sword Frost Fourteen States' is also very bold when she thinks about it!"
"What are you going to do?"
A red cloud suddenly appeared on his face, and I almost thought it was my delusion.
"I'm coming, yes...... and I'm sorry to you. ”
I scoffed, "I heard me right, I thought you were going to ask for your life!"
"Last time I was at the Jokhang Temple, I thought too much. Later, after listening to the words of his sweetheart, he realized that he was wrong. Even my master later reprimanded me for being reckless. ”
He didn't seem used to saying so many things at once, and he already had an extremely unnatural expression on his face.
I thought about his help in the palace, and in the end my heart softened, but I still said with a stiff face: "What kind of birthday gift? As long as you don't try to take my life again, I'll thank God! If you don't go quickly, if people see me, I'll be killed by you again!"
He suddenly smiled, like the wind passing through the bamboo forest, clear and handsome. "Don't worry. ”
This is inexplicable, what do I care?
However, before I could ask him, Mo Di continued: "I will help you with your brother's affairs." He glanced at me, and Fang continued: "Quan is my birthday gift to you." ”
After saying that, he looked at me deeply, turned and walked out the door.
The room was as quiet as ever. I almost thought that what happened to Fang Cai was what I saw in my dreams.
However, Chifu still crouched on the table, reminding me that Mo Di had indeed been here!
I was stunned for a moment, but suddenly I woke up and reached out to shake Chifu awake.
