Chapter 37: The Feast, IV
A song is sung, the song is stopped, the piano does not stop, the flute occasionally rises a few times, the music is continuous, when it is low, it is like the moon shining on the earth, the boat travels on the flat lake, and when it is urgent, it is like riding a horse under the moon, and the wind blows the plain.
"I picked up the nobleman, I came late, and the queen mother should not blame Hong'er. ”
I was fascinated by the sound, and a girl's voice suddenly sounded at the gate of the garden, like a tender bamboo shoot watered by the rain in spring, green and delicate, and so familiar. Wu Yan looked at the gate of the garden, the girl had a delicate smile, which was unforgettable, and more importantly, this girl was the delicate princess Xia Hong who had just met in the afternoon.
After Xia Hong bowed to the ladies at the main banquet, she smiled at the group of flower-dressed girls on the right, "Lu Kui, today is your gift, and I have also prepared a gift for you, which is a rare thing." But no matter how strange things are, when it comes to the big brother, they have also become vulgar. ”
A girl in a purple shirt in the middle of the group of flower-dressed girls stood up when she heard the words and gave a salute to Xia Hong, "The gifts are different, there is no difference between good and bad, winning or losing." What's more, this is the princess's heart for Kwai Er, the only one in the world who can compare to this heart and this gift. ”
This girl named Lu Kui has starry eyebrows, a small jasper as delicate and lovely, although she has no amazing appearance, her speech and demeanor are elegant, like an orchid blooming under the moon, and she has an elegant and beautiful charm.
Xia Hong was very happy to hear this, giggled a few times, refused to forgive, and said, "You say so, but I'm afraid that what you think is different." In your heart, even if the eldest brother gives you a bowl of water, it will be Yaochi Qiong Jelly and Jade Liquid......"
"Hong'er, don't be naughty again. ”
"Xiaohong, don't talk nonsense. ”
In the middle of her words, two voices sounded at the banquet in time, cutting off her unobstructed words. One was a smiling woman's voice, which came from the banquet, and the other was a deep male voice, which sounded from behind Xia Hong. Xia Hong should have realized that she had lost her words, stuck out her tongue, looked back at Xia Zihai, and didn't dare to make fun of Lu Kui again, and when she saw the two empty positions again, she was puzzled and asked, "The fourth brother didn't come again, hey, why isn't the third brother there?"
Seeing that the princess was looking for someone, she had someone to help. When they saw Xia Zihe sitting on the side of the table in a secluded corner, they seemed to be a little puzzled why the three princes were sitting in the corner, but they seemed to understand why they were sitting alone.
Wu Yan had long been avoided, standing quietly under a plum tree, quietly like a shadow, the light and shadow intertwined between the two, separating Wu Yan from Xia Zihe.
There were people like jade under the lamp, although Wu Yan hid beside her, but unfortunately the bright lantern still exposed her.
Xia Hong smiled slyly, stretched out her hand, pointed at Wu Yan, and said, "You palace maid will really be lazy, seeing that this princess is coming, why don't you come to serve?"
She sat down at the head of the group of flowery girls, and saw that Wu Yan did not respond to her, and her demeanor revealed the unity of points, and she looked like "see what you do".
The girls in the flower clothes who had been surrounding Lu Kui gathered around the princess, and also looked at Wu Yan, boldly followed the opening and urged, and the timid secretly warned with their eyes, and then the girls who were still sitting next to Lu Kui just glanced at Wu Yan hurriedly and hurriedly withdrew their gaze.
But in the blink of an eye, Wu Yan felt that most of the people in the garden had moved their eyes to herself, and even the culprit who caused her trouble looked at her obliquely, and the corners of her lips on half of her face were slightly raised as if she was smiling, but she didn't know how much she wanted to watch the show.
Ying Qi had already seen this scene, he stood up nervously, thought about it, and first lowered his head and whispered in Wu Ying's ear, too far away Wu Yan naturally couldn't hear it, he could only see Wu Ying looking at himself and nodding from afar.
Wu Yan didn't say anything before, in fact, he was also watching Wu Ying's reaction, but now seeing that Wu Ying had nodded, Wu Yan immediately spoke, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant, "The princess chose me at a glance because I have a relationship with the princess, but we Tianshan spirit girls serve the gods, and we don't practice harem etiquette, and we dare not offend the princess." ”
"You, the Spirit Girl of the Tianshan Mountains, are so young, how is it possible?" Xia Hong was taken aback, the smugness on her face turned to disbelief, and the inadvertently raised voice made the people at the banquet hear it clearly, she realized that she was out of shape, closed her mouth and just stared at Wu Yan back and forth, and no longer spoke easily.
Well, Wu Yan can only bear the gaze that falls on her body from all directions at this moment, as if she has become a strong light, attracting the "moths" around her, even the eldest prince and the second prince also looked at herself three or four times here, as for how much meaning is mixed in everyone's eyes, she has no intention of guessing, fortunately, everyone is interested, but no one dares to blatantly stare at Wu Yan all the time.
"Our princess is not a smart girl, you rejected her, and gave her the stairs down, others may understand that they will be fine, but she may not. ”
Xia Zihe had just finished whispering the words of the reminder, and sure enough, Xia Hongjiao's voice was raised, and she did not stop pestering, "The witch of the Tianshan Mountains occupies the fortune of the country, Bu Ji is fierce, and she knows the future." Although you are a spirit girl, your ability should not be underestimated, why don't you show one or two hands to open our eyes, how about it?"
Mei Qianqian, who was sitting at the main banquet, stood up, she looked at Wu Yan, her mouth moved, and she was about to speak. But another voice sounded before her.
- "Am I late, I seem to have missed something." ”
Everyone looked and saw that under the white plum blossom lamp, a beautiful woman was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a smile on her face, and she came with a smile.
Xia Hong immediately got up from her seat, ran a few steps to meet her, called "Sister Mu" to the beautifully dressed beauty, and called "Sister Love" to a red-dressed palace person next to the beauty, and said coquettishly, "You are finally here, if you don't come again, I have to invite you again." ”
Mu Yunyun's face was full of disgust, he stretched out his hand and twisted it on Xia Hong's face, shook his head and said, "Scream again, be careful that your father knows about it, and then punish you." ”
Hearing this, Xia Hong shrugged her shoulders and stuck out her tongue, and laughed again. Mu Yunyun took Xia Hong's hand in the crook of his arm, and when he passed by Wu Yan's side, he deliberately stopped, and the gentle expression on his face was retracted, and he said seriously, "Is Tianshan a juggling in the market, if you want to open your eyes and give you a performance, but also please you? You are a royal princess, the proud daughter of the sky, you should be cautious and sensible, how can you be as troubled and smiling and generous as you." ”
Xia Hong was reprimanded, grabbed Mu Yunyun's arm and lowered her head and flattened her mouth, Wu Yan saw that her eyes were still dripping, and she knew that she must be convinced. When she raised her eyes to look at Mu Yunyun again, she turned her face to look at the main banquet and looked at Wu Ying.
"The princess is young and childish, and now she knows that she is wrong, and asks the shrine maiden to give her a chance to change her ways. ”
While speaking, Mu Yunyun pulled Xia Hong, who looked like she was hanging her head and knowing her mistakes, with a soft expression, and slowly taught, "If you make a mistake, change it, and apologize to the witch soon." ”
Xia Hong raised her head, obediently gave a big gift to the witch, and apologized for what Mu Yunyun said to Wu Ying just now, and turned around to apologize to Wu Yan if she knew her mistakes, but Xia Hong, who was facing away from everyone, was not as well-behaved as anyone in front of her, she puffed out her eyes and stuck out her tongue at Wu Yan, and made a grimace, which made Wu Yan cry and laugh, and she couldn't react to the princess's provocation in the face of everyone, so she simply turned her eyes and looked away.
Elsewhere, I don't know if it's because of the lights, Mei Qianqian's face is as white as paper, if people don't know the reason, they will think that it is not Xia Hong who is being trained in public but her.
