Chapter 101: Competing for Wooing
"Fifth brother does he have a favorite girl?"
Ji Yao listened to the question of solving worries, and couldn't help but look at King Su curiously, just glanced at King Shangsu, only to hear him laugh at himself: "I have been in the military camp all year round, and I am worried about how to fight a beautiful battle every day, how can I have time to contact any girl?"
"Isn't there this opportunity now?" Xie Wei winked playfully, swept his head behind the screen, clapped his hands and said loudly, "Sister-in-law, come out." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and then an extremely soft "yes" came, which made people wonder how the woman behind the screen should look like a demure and still water.
When Sima Yanting's figure appeared in front of everyone, although it was not so amazing, it was like a spring breeze, she was wearing plain clothes today, her face was powdered, and her broken hair was naughtily swaying back and forth in front of her with her footsteps, but her weak eyes were vaguely resolute.
"I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness King Su, His Royal Highness King Ding, and Her Royal Highness the Princess. She walked up to them without haste and saluted them respectfully.
"This ......"
The prince's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he looked at the person in front of him carefully, his face couldn't help but change greatly, this Sima Yan was the youngest daughter of Sima Confucius who was burned alive in a thatched house, and it was also many months ago that he discussed with Sima Ru and decided to let her marry into the Xingwang Mansion!
That fire burned several ministers and extinguished his last trace of contact with the Sima family, and now seeing Sima Yan endure her grief and appear at the banquet with singing and dancing, I can't help but be puzzled.
"Come, go away. Xie Wei got up and helped her to sit down, and then sighed and looked at the prince and said, "That's right, the father of the concubine is Sima Ru, and today is unfortunately ......."
Xie Wu didn't say anything more here, but patted Sima Yan's hand, and looked at her with a pair of sympathetic eyes: "The Sima family suffered this catastrophe, and there were a bunch of old and weak women left in the family. ”
Ji Yao couldn't help but glance at Xie Wei when she heard this, and when she saw that her expression was really sad, she couldn't help but be surprised, when did Xie Wu have a friendship with this Sima Yan? Looking at her like this, she probably wanted to be a matchmaker for Sima Yan, and King Su should be her best choice.
Sure enough, Xie Wu nudged Sima Yan and said: "Go and toast His Royal Highness King Su, after all, this is His Royal Highness King Su's reception banquet." ”
Sima Yan responded softly, squeezing out a bitter smile, and only then did her slender hand touch the wine jug, and King Su had already spoken in a calm voice: "Since the family has suffered such an accident, why force a smile? ”
King Su's hard voice that couldn't hear a trace of kindness made everyone stunned, Sima Yan blushed and subconsciously looked at Ji Yao, seeing that she was also shocked and couldn't react, so she had to say to herself: "Sister-in-law obeys His Highness's teachings." ”
"If you need any help, just come to me. When King Su saw her like this, he nodded appreciatively.
When he said this, the prince couldn't bear it, and he was very anxious that King Su was pulled away by others, and his cunning eyes looked at the face of the person beside him slightly.
Jiang Chuxiu has always paid attention to the prince's movements, seeing his eyes staring at him tightly, he couldn't help but be happy, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, the prince "huh", and suddenly looked sideways at King Su and said: "This king heard that you and Chu Xiu can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and now you are both unmarried and unmarried, it is better to get together and let this king achieve this beautiful thing." ”
King Su didn't react when he heard it, but Jiang Chuxiu's mood was like a mountain peak falling to the bottom, his face was white and blue, green and white, but he didn't dare to refuse in person, he just laughed and didn't make a sound.
"If you really want to talk about this childhood sweetheart, Ji Yao is the most suitable person, King Su, what do you say?" King Ding, who was always silent, couldn't help but come to make fun of King Su.
"Haha, I can see that today's reception banquet is actually a pro-conference, don't joke with you, don't move the chopsticks, this meal is cold. Su Wangle laughed twice, and then planned to turn the page on this matter.
Ji Yao saw today's scene, and she knew it in her heart, in the days when King Su left Jinling, everyone was crazy to slap her eldest brother, just because Chang Jiyang was the youngest and most promising general in the dynasty.
As soon as King Su came back, everyone's choice was different, he was the prince with heavy troops in his hands, and he could be said to occupy three points of land above the military power, but Chang Jiyang was insignificant compared to him.
But what made her wonder was why Xie Wei also had the intention of wooing King Su, and who did she want to win over King Su for with Sima Yan as the line? The most unbelievable thing was that since she had the intention of wooing King Su, today's banquet should have been an excellent opportunity, so why did she invite the prince and the king of Ding to intervene in this step?
This meal was not very comfortable, but no one left the table in advance, and they all endured the discomfort to end the meal, and at the end, Ji Yao wanted to say something to King Su, but saw the prince clinging to his side, and said with joy on his face, so he went back to the house with Chang Jiyang.
"Ji Yao, what do you think of His Royal Highness King Su?"
On the way back, Chang Jiyang suddenly spoke seriously, with a solemn expression as if he was talking about a big event, Ji Yao couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Big brother has the idea of His Royal Highness King Su again? It is impossible for me to talk to His Royal Highness King Su, big brother, don't worry." ”
"How can I rest assured? The prince now intends to accept you as the crown princess, and the holy decree has not been issued for a day, and the Shen family will not dismiss the idea, and you are so close to that Liu Xun, I am really worried that you will choose the worst one in the end." Chang Ji Yang's heroic sword eyebrows were tightly wrinkled at this moment, and the sadness and hesitation on his face were the expressions that a person who had never made a decision on the battlefield.
Ji Yao was silent for a moment, but instead of answering, he asked: "Does the eldest brother hope that I can find a good husband and become a dazzling pearl for the rest of my life, or do I hope that I can be simple and comfortable every day without having to calculate people's hearts?"
"If there is a choice, I naturally hope that you can live the life of the latter, but we are in the whirlpool of power, everyone around you is close to you because of profit, you want to live a life that does not count people's hearts, then in the end you will only be calculated by people's hearts!" Chang Jiyang became anxious, and hurriedly pressed her shoulders to force her to face herself," Ji Yao, Liu Xun's kid is not as simple as you think, even if there is really affection between you, but the feelings under the power struggle cannot be pure, and it will not last longer, you might as well plan for yourself for the rest of your life, and stop being so naïve and willful. ”
A faint disappointment flashed in Ji Yao's eyes, her already depressed mood became more and more depressed today, Chang Jiyang, who usually didn't like to say these words, spoke directly to her heart as soon as she opened her mouth, so that she couldn't say half a word.
But......
Thinking that she would have to calculate the rest of her life, Ji Yao couldn't help but shudder, she didn't want to.
