Chapter 183: Covetous
Wu Sheng glanced at him in surprise, although he tried his best to restrain himself, but with such a violent emotion, how could he hide from his brother who grew up together?
"Tsubashi?" Wu Sheng asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Zhengxiang took a deep breath, looked at his brother who looked worried, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, big brother, I'm fine." ”
How can he call it okay like this? Wu Sheng wondered in his heart. His younger brother has had a lot of fate since he was a child, and although he has gained some trust from him, since he performed the crown salute, he has not acted mysteriously, and now he is not good at interfering too much in his affairs.
Wu Shenglei smiled and said, "Okay." If you have something, don't carry it alone, no matter what, I'm still with my eldest brother. ”
Wu Zhengxiang's heart warmed, the fist in his left hand loosened slightly, and his voice relaxed a little, "I know." "The secret road is so dangerous, if it weren't for the eldest brother by his side, after hearing that the prince used Zhen'er as a pawn to win over the Anguo Mansion, he might not have done anything. Fortunately, I have listened to their plans today, and then I need to think carefully about the countermeasures.
But this is his own business, and he can't let his brother, who has always protected him, worry about it. He shook his head and shook off these thoughts, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Come, I'll toast my eldest brother." If it weren't for my eldest brother's care over the years, I'm afraid I would have been out of this world long ago. ”
Suddenly hearing him mention those pasts, Wu Sheng was surprised. After so many years, the two brothers have already had a tacit understanding, and they never mentioned the events of the year, what is going on today, Yizhi must have something on his mind.
But he didn't want to say it, and he couldn't force it, so he picked up the wine glass and touched it, took a bold sip, and praised: "Good wine!"
Wu Zhengxiang put down his wine glass and silently remembered what was on his mind. Today, he came to the princess's mansion, of course, not just to participate in the "Peony Flower Meeting". On the orders of the Lord to arrest Tong Huachi, where did he have the leisure to participate in the banquet?
The two groups of wind and thunder are either dressed in disguise, or pretending to be the long-term followers of the guests, or hiding their traces, staring at the inside and outside of the princess's mansion impenetrably, and laying a net of heaven and earth. The two shadow guards of the rain group, who were originally in the princess's mansion, had already been notified by him to protect Princess Zhaoyang today, for fear that Tong Huachi would make any changes and attack the princess.
Although careful arrangements were made, Wu Zhengxiang did not want to see Tong Huachi appear here from the bottom of his heart. The guests at the flower party are all top magnates, and most of them are weak women and children, if Tong Huachi really appears, he is afraid that he will hit the mouse and turn over the jade bottle.
Tong Huachi has a city in his heart, and if it appears, he must have a plan. When the fish died, the net was broken, and he grabbed a person as a hostage at will, and he had to be careful. Don't say it's a princess, it's a princess or a lady, and it's not a joke if you're hurt.
Fortunately, according to the news just from his subordinates, Tong Huachi stayed in the tea shop all day today and never went out. Even so, Wu Zhengxiang didn't dare to relax his mind, and still watched and listened to all directions, and was on guard with all his might. Because of this, he will hear a conversation between the prince and the prince of Anguo.
In "Shuyuxuan", the maid of the princess's mansion has spread pen and ink on a bookcase in the house.
Princess Zhaoyang walked to the center of the house and said with a smile: "Let's wait for me to write a poem and a painting, and throw bricks and lead jade." ”
After that, he rolled up the sleeves of his robe, picked up a tube of Changfeng wolf's hair, and splashed ink on the rice paper. I saw that her gestures opened and closed, and the font was also a grass that women rarely learned, and in an instant, it became a poem.
Yuegui, who was waiting for the pen and ink, read: "The peony is sheng, and the dragon musk is added to the day." The owner still regrets himself, and the brocade curtain protects the spring frost. ”
The poem is neat and catchy. Although it is not amazing, it is to express the meaning of love through poetry and peony. During the banquet, everyone thought exquisitely, and at a glance they understood the deep meaning, even though they knew that the poems at the flower party were made in advance, they still praised one after another: "Good poems!"
Only the crown princess Fu Shi's eyebrows did not move, with her position, it was good to attend, and she couldn't follow to boast about Princess Zhaoyang.
Princess Zhaoyang smiled proudly in the room, as bright as a spring moon, with her status, status and talent, she naturally deserves these praises. All the women were intimidated by her heroic appearance, and Xu Wanzhen was no exception.
In the midst of praise, Princess Zhaoyang completed the peony picture in her hand, and said with a smile: "Who is next?"
Laurel and Hibiscus gently picked up Princess Zhaoyang's poems and paintings and placed them aside. After the ink is dried, the money is covered with long strips of rice paper and sent to the "Qingxuan Pavilion" for evaluation.
Xu Wanzhen watched all this quietly, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. The so-called obfuscation is just a trick. "Qingxuan Pavilion" and this place across the river, who made poems and paintings at a glance.
Fortunately, this poem and painting is to be presented to the emperor as a birthday gift, and those who can get the first name must be talented and outstanding. Princess Zhaoyang took out this poem, and at first glance, she didn't want to compete for the first place, but it didn't prevent everyone in the "Qingxuan Pavilion" from voting for Princess Zhaoyang.
Bai Shao lit a stick of incense, smiled and saluted everyone, and said softly: "Regardless of identity, you can come to compose poems or paintings, and the time limit is one stick of incense." ”
The women in Xuanzhong already knew the content of the "Peony Flower Meeting", who didn't come with careful preparation? Those who are not strong enough are like Tu Manfen, so they have to press their own impulses to step forward.
Although Xu Wanzhen was also prepared, when she heard Bai Shao say this, it was obvious that she was asking everyone to do what they could, not reluctantly, and did not forcibly stipulate that every young lady must have a poem and a painting. Come to think of it, there are only a few people who are proficient in these two things at the same time, and it is not beautiful to do it hard.
In that case, it's better not to go up and offer ugliness. She had already made up her mind to gradually fade out of the sight of Princess Zhaoyang after the flower party, why bother to attract attention at this time?
You have to know that you have this calligraphy, although you practice every day, but you have no choice but to take this soft nib, so far it is only a little more regular, but it is difficult to get into this elegant hall.
The second one to go up was Cao Qinghui, the eldest daughter of the Dingguo Mansion. Although there are many daughters in the boudoir here, in terms of noble status, except for Princess Zhaoyang, there is no one to compare with her.
She was dressed in a blue dress, with a simple emerald green moire jasper hairpin inserted into her bun, and the ice plum pattern feather satin skirt moved lightly with her lotus steps, faintly flashing with silver brilliance, and the corner of the skirt was a piece of mutton fat white jade Ruyi Pei. This is low-key luxury, Xu Wanzhen secretly admired.
Cao Qinghui stepped forward, and gave a salute to Princess Zhaoyang, the Duchess of Dingguo, and the Crown Princess above in all directions.
Yuegui said: "Who doesn't love peony flowers, occupy the good things in the city." It is suspected to be the work of Luochuan God, and it is beautiful to break the morning glow. ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the women shouting. What can make them so out of shape at this time is naturally such a wonderful poem. The sentence "Thousands of delicate states break the morning glow", writing the delicate beauty of the peony when it is in full bloom, "suspected to be the work of the goddess of Luochuan" is even more reverie.
Hearing the applause here, all the men in the "Qingxuan Pavilion" probed to look at each other. Seeing that it was Cao Qinghui, everyone showed a natural expression.
