Chapter 90: Winding the Beam, Foolish Dreams
"What the queen said, wouldn't it be embarrassing if my little Yue'er didn't know anything?" Without waiting for Su Muyue to answer, Sikong Yan said coldly: "Could it be that a woman in this world must have what talent to gain a foothold?"
"Ah Yan, when did this palace have such a meaning?" The queen said as if she was a little sad: "This palace just thinks that those children are shy, so let the county lord come first, at least let everyone be less nervous, Ah Yan, you think too much." ”
"Queen Mother, why don't you let me come first?" At this time, Yun Chu suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "They are all shy, I don't care." ”
Yun Chu said this, it was naturally impossible for the queen to continue to let Su Muyue perform her talents, and nodded lightly, but no matter how you look at it, she is not very enthusiastic.
Lin Shi looked up at Yun Chu with some concern, and when he saw that she turned around and gave himself a reassuring look, he sighed lightly and did not stop her.
How could Su Muyue not understand that Yun Chu didn't want Sikong Yan and the queen to have a dispute because of herself, and the queen would still hold a grudge against herself, so she took the initiative to ask to come out and perform some talents.
Su Muyue lowered her eyebrows, and the hand hidden in her sleeve clenched slightly.
Queen Xu, after a lifetime, she really still doesn't like this woman.
"Girl. Sikong Yan's wide sleeves were covered, he gently held Su Muyue's hand, and whispered to her: "Everything has to be seen from both sides, for example, Yun Chu, who is so true to his temperament, will also be truly appreciated." ”
When Su Muyue heard Sikong Yan's words, she couldn't help but look in the direction of his gaze and found that the person Sikong Yan said was actually Huang Chen.
In fact, this is also the first time Su Muyue has seen Huang Chen.
Huang Chen, who was sitting not far away, was dressed in a water-green robe, and his gestures were quite charming.
At this moment, Huang Chen's eyes looked at Yun Chu who was dancing the sword without blinking, and compared to the previous unconcerned greetings, there was clearly a pure appreciation in his smile.
Yun Chu danced the sword dance that Yu Ji performed in front of Xiang Yu before killing herself.
Maybe it was because of the fire in his stomach, so Yun Chu not only did not show a trace of grievances, but a little more murderous aura.
It's just that there are some literati around, and most of them think that the eldest lady of the Yun family is too rude and not gentle at all.
After Yun Chu regained his momentum, he wiped a handful of sweat on his head, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled: "I heard that the eldest lady of the Su family is extremely talented, I wonder if she will be interested in showing it?"
Sikong Shengzhe was previously cheated by Sikong Yan for 60,000 taels of silver, and he once hated Su Muyue so much, but when he learned Su Muyue's true identity from Zhao Hui and Qi Xiang, he couldn't help but change his mind again.
Sikong Shengzhe felt that he should find a chance to talk to Su Muyue, after all, they also had a marriage contract before, although those misunderstandings happened later, but as long as he explained clearly, presumably a country girl like Su Muyue would not be too careful.
What's more, he found that Su Muyue seemed to be a little more beautiful than Su Muyao when she was dressed up, no wonder Sikong Yan was so concerned.
Although Sikong Shengzhe's gaze occasionally fell on Su Muyue without a trace, Sikong Yan still noticed it, and immediately raised his eyes to look at Sikong Shengzhe and said: "Miss Yun's talent is very outstanding, but the eldest lady of the Su family has rarely appeared in front of everyone, why don't you let the fourth miss of the Su family come first, how about it?"
Su Mulin never thought that she could be picked by someone honestly sitting in the back, and looked at Chen Shi a little crampedly, Chen Shi turned his head and glanced at her comfortingly.
Su Qi'an got up and said, "King Yuyan, the four girls of the old minister are not feeling well today, so it is not convenient to dance." ”
"This king heard that Shengzhe is good at playing the flute, and he also danced with the flute for Su Mulin in Su Mansion, and I wanted to see it today, which is a pity. Sikong Yan said lightly: "Since Lord Right said that Su Mulin can't dance today, then Su Muyao must be okay, right?"
"It's better for the people to be respectful than to obey their fate. Su Muyao got up, interrupted Su Qi'an's intention to refuse, and said generously: "On weekdays, the third sister plays the piano, but unfortunately the third sister did not attend the palace banquet today, so I don't know if I can ask the county lord to play the piano for the people's daughter?"
"Su Muyao, do you want me to stroke the piano for you?" Su Muyue heard Su Muyao's words, suddenly sat up straight, tilted her head to look at Su Muyao, the look in her eyes could not be ignored, "Have you thought about it?"
"It is a blessing for the people to be able to ask the county lord to play the piano for the people's daughter. Su Muyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, Su Muyue, I don't believe you can do anything!
"Good. Without waiting for Sikong Yan to speak, Su Muyue had already gotten up, walked slowly to Su Muyao's side, looked at her sideways, and suddenly grinned: "Su Muyao, I hope you won't regret it today." ”
"Is this Su Muyue the county lord who mocked the gentlemen of the Kyoto Pavilion?"
"I really didn't expect that I was so good-looking, so I didn't know what to do!"
Many people heard what Su Muyue said to Su Muyao, and couldn't help but talk about it, such an arrogant woman was really unacceptable.
Among them, the one that everyone paid the most attention to was naturally Mu Lao, who was named by Su Muyue at the beginning.
Mu Lao was sitting next to several other great Confucians in the Kyoto Pavilion, who had heard the rumors outside earlier, and only thought that Su Muyue was just selling her reputation and reputation, but when she saw it today, she couldn't help but mutter.
"Mu Lao, you see ......" A gentleman next to Mu Lao looked sideways at him and said in a low voice: "If you don't have the ability, you probably don't dare to be so arrogant." ”
Most of the gentlemen who can enter the Kyoto Pavilion are modest and introverted, and they will never look at people or things like ordinary people.
Regarding Su Muyue's words, they remembered the person they had not paid attention to at the beginning almost at the same time.
Mr. Minghe.
At that time, Mr. Minghe taught them a profound lesson, that is, never underestimate anyone.
"I'm not sure yet, let's see. Mu Lao's gaze fell on the jade pendant on Su Muyue's waist, and his eyes couldn't help but flash, could it really be that person?
Su Muyao didn't take Su Muyue in her eyes, or that no one put Su Muyue in her eyes.
Many young ladies of the family are already waiting to see Su Muyue's jokes.
In their opinion, Su Muyao undoubtedly dug a pit for Su Muyue to jump.
You must know that this kung fu of the piano, if you haven't practiced it for a few years, it's basically just a smile and a generous one.
Su Muyue sat in front of the piano prepared by the palace maids, and when she noticed the worried eyes of Yun Chu and the others, she couldn't help but smile slightly, put her hands on the piano, and murmured with some disgust: "What kind of piano is this......"
"Wait a minute. Sikong Yan suddenly raised his voice and spoke.
"His Royal Highness King Yan must be afraid that Su Muyue will make a fool of himself, so he interrupted!"
"I'll just say, how can a country girl like Su Muyue really go up to play the piano?"
"That's it, in the end, it's not His Royal Highness King Yan who protects him!"
Although the discussion below was not loud, Queen Xu heard it clearly, and she couldn't help sneering in her heart, this Su Muyue is nothing more than that.
"Uncle Huang, the county lord here has already agreed, if you are repenting, isn't it okay?" Sikong Shengzhe hated Sikong Yan's revelation, and said with a smile on his face while holding a wine glass: "When the time comes, won't you let the county lord be the one who doesn't believe in his word?"
"Fifth brother, Uncle Huang hasn't said what he wants to do yet, you are too anxious to say this. Sikong Jingyun glanced at Sikong Shengzhe lightly, and then said, "If the county lord wins Su Muyao, what will be the face of the fifth brother at that time?"
"The prince's words are bad, people are just sisters helping each other, where does the saying come from to win or lose?" Sikong Shengzhe naturally didn't say anything, but he had long thought in his heart that Su Muyue would definitely lose.
"That's what the king wants to say. Sikong Yan took a sip of wine and said lightly: "Su Muyao, if you ask the county lord to play the piano for you, then there should always be a saying, how about winning or losing?"
"This ......" Su Muyao looked at Sikong Yan as if surprised, blinked her big eyes and said innocently: "The folk girl only thinks it's funny between sisters, and she doesn't mean to win or lose, is Your Highness misunderstood?"
"In that case, don't play that month. Sikong Yan put down the wine glass and said coldly: "Who are you the princess of this king, who will go and stroke the piano for you casually?"
"Brother Yan, don't be angry. Su Muyue suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe Miss Su is just afraid of losing and embarrassed, so she doesn't dare to compare with me?"
"It's really unashamed!" This time it was Hua Ming, who had been sitting on the side and looking at Su Muyao stupidly, and when he heard Su Muyue slandering Su Muyao so much, he immediately said angrily: "The county lord is not good at learning and arts, don't drag down Miss Su, thank God, you still want to win Miss Su?
"Amazing, Master Hua!" Yun Chu heard Hua Ming mock Su Muyue like this, he couldn't hold back at the moment, and said with a sneer: "You dare to say that His Royal Highness King Yan is a fool and a dream?"
"When did I say Yan ......" Hua Ming was blocked by Yun Chu, and he was about to refute but only reacted, and he was about to say that the person who won or lost was Sikong Yan, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, wanting to explain something, but he didn't know what to say.
"Okay!" The emperor, who had been sitting on the dragon chair, finally opened his mouth, glanced at Su Muyao and Su Muyue and said, "Since Ah Yan said that he wanted to set the rules, then he would decide to win or lose, and the winner would be rewarded...... A set of gold-faced jewelry is ready. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Su Muyue and Su Muyao thanked at the same time.
In fact, for Su Muyao, it doesn't matter what the reward is, the important thing is only the emperor's reward, which is enough.
"Qingcang!" Sikong Yan waited until the two of them thanked him, and suddenly shouted outside: "Change the piano for Xiao Yue'er." ”
Qing Cang walked in from outside, walked in front of Su Muyue, threw the ordinary qin in front of her aside, and then gently put the wrapped qin in his arms in front of her, and said with a smile: "County Lord, this is the first gift specially prepared for you by His Royal Highness." ”
"That's ......" Mu Lao's eyes widened when he saw Qing Cang open the cloth, and he muttered in disbelief: "It's Huanliang!"
