143. Chapter 143
His Royal Highness the Wayward Prince, even if the emperor comes, he has to make concessions, Princess Huyang has no choice, and she can't just let her brother go, so she has to look at Su Yan with her eyes, hoping that the princess can be more reasonable.
Su Yan lived up to Princess Huyang's expectations, and persuaded softly: "Today is my sister's birthday, and it is in the princess's mansion. ”
The prince pursed his thin lips, with a little grievance, "I don't worry about you." ”
"This is in my sister's house, what's there to worry about." Su Yan quietly squeezed her husband's hand, "Besides, let's not stay long, just sit down and go back, so that the people at the banquet will not be uncomfortable." ”
The prince nodded reluctantly, and said reluctantly, "Okay then." Then he turned his head sideways and saw Princess Huyang, and said solemnly: "Sister, Yan Yan will ask you to take care of it." ”
Princess Huyang raised a smile, "Qilang, don't worry, I will take care of Qiniang." ”
The prince looked at his sister with a little suspicion, "Sister, do you know how to take care of Yan Yan?" "To tell the truth, his sister is so big that she doesn't even wear her own clothes, saying that she can take care of his family, who believes it!
Princess Huyang: ......
"Shichiro!" Su Yan glanced at her husband with disgust.
The prince got up sullenly and once again instructed Princess Huyang: "Sister, you have to worry too much. "That's what I said, but no matter how I look at it, my look is full of distrust, and Princess Huyang's heart is stuffed.
Princess Huyang was relieved to see that her younger brother had finally left, got up and said with a smile: "Qi Niang, let's go too." "It's good to separate them, if they stick together, her plans will be ruined.
Su Yan lowered her eyes, let the palace maid help her to get up, and walked with Princess Huyang to the place where the female guest was.
On the princess's birthday, the crown prince and the princess congratulated each other in person, so that the rumors that the two sisters and brothers had an awkward quarrel faded a little in everyone's hearts. Seeing that the crown princess, who was elegantly dressed and had a radiant complexion, stepped into the palace gate in the company of Princess Huyang, everyone in the palace stood up and saluted in unison.
Su Yan signaled with a light smile, Princess Huyang gave her up to the chief, Su Yan slightly excused herself, and sat down steadily. When she looked up with a smile, she met a pair of apricot eyes full of complex meanings, and she was about to take a closer look at them, and those eyes drooped.
Su Yan called with a smile: "Sanniang." ”
Duan Yan was a little restrained, and called out in a low voice: "Crown Princess." ”
"We were friends when we were in the boudoir, and we get along in private, just like before." Su Yan sighed a little, since marrying the prince and getting along with his former friends, there has been more estrangement. Like Duan Yanzhi, the little ladies who had occasional friction with her before they got married were even more restrained, and they were very careful and respectful to her one by one, which was boring.
Duan Yan smiled reluctantly, "The courtiers didn't know how to advance or retreat before, so the crown princess smiled." "When I was not married, everyone was the same, but now the difference between the monarch and the minister is different, and then it is stupid to do it against Su Yan. Having said that, it is impossible for people's temperament to change immediately, so the two sat down at the same table, and it didn't take long for them to talk.
Princess Huyang looked at her sister-in-law with satisfaction, yes, she knew that she had a good relationship with the crown princess in advance, which would also be good for her life in the East Palace in the future.
The birthday banquet of Princess Huyang, there are countless natural delicacies, the sound of singing and dancing is endless, Su Yan watched with great interest the six thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls throwing colored balls together, the little hands like jade butterflies flying up and down, dozens of colored balls up and down, obediently jumping in the hands of several people, extremely exciting.
"Okay." Seeing the highlights, Su Yan lightly high-fived, turned his head sideways to Mu Lan who was standing behind him, and said, "Reward each of them with a golden hairpin." "These little girls who do a hundred operas, life is not easy, many of them were beaten and scolded by the master and grew up, they can practice this skill, I don't know how many rattans they have eaten. Su Yan felt pity in his heart and was generous.
The six little girls won the reward of the crown princess, and their excited little faces were swollen and red, and they gave Su Yan a snort again and again. They probably also knew that if they got the crown princess's reward today, there would be more eunuchs who invited them to perform a hundred operas in the future, and then they would get more money.
Princess Huyang glanced at Su Yan with some surprise, in her impression, this princess loves elegance and refined taste, how can she also like to watch this kind of worldly play? However, it is good that she can see that she can stay longer, and it will also facilitate her plans. Princess Huyang calculated the time and felt that it was almost there, so she gave Duan Yan a look.
Who knows, Duan Yan happened to bow her head to pour wine, but she didn't see it. Princess Huyang was a little anxious, and motioned to the palace maid who was waiting on the side to remind Duan Yan. It's a pity that no matter how Princess Huyang moves, Duan Yan didn't move at all, quietly sipped the wine in the cup, and focused on His Royal Highness's hundred plays, watching it extremely fascinating.
Princess Huyang was half angry with her, and in front of Su Yan, it was not good to make a big move, so she could only hold it by herself.
Duan Yan looked calm on her face, but her heart was churning. Growing so big, it was the first time she didn't listen to this princess sister-in-law. It's just that it's about her life and reputation, and she doesn't want to be at the mercy of her sister-in-law. Not to mention, use means to rely on His Royal Highness the Prince, in order to be able to enter the East Palace as a concubine. Although she is not as noble as the princess and sister-in-law, she is also the granddaughter of the prince of the country and the daughter of the prince, and she has her own dignity. I couldn't win the favor of the prince before, and I couldn't be the princess, because the prince didn't have this fate with her, and the prince was blind and couldn't see her good.
can't be the crown princess, she can still marry a husband who is the right person, and he was carried through the door in a big red sedan chair by the three media and six hires in the open. It is not appropriate to put a good wife, why should she practice herself, ruin her innocent reputation and the face of the Duan family, and go to be a concubine for the prince. Even if the crown prince ascends the throne as the emperor in the future and can be a concubine, she is not uncommon.
Duan Yan held her breath, stiffened Princess Huyang's knife-like gaze, but refused to move.
Princess Huyang held back the fire in her belly, but she couldn't let it out at all. can only take advantage of Su Yan's inattention to take a few fierce glances.
"Princess......" Princess Huyang's personal palace maid was in the planned place, waiting and waiting, but Duan Yan didn't come out, and there was news from the male guest, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was leaving. In desperation, she could only find the banquet and whispered in Princess Huyang's ear, "Your Highness is leaving." ”
As soon as the palace maid's words were finished, he saw the prince's palace swaggering in, he didn't look at others, and went straight to Su Yan, "Yan Yan, I'm here to pick you up for my husband, let's go back to the palace." ”
Su Yan glanced at Princess Huyang with a smile, and saw that her heart trembled, and she listened to the gentle smile of the beautiful younger brother and sister: "Today, I and Qilang are bothering my sister." ”
Princess Huyang smiled and said, "How come, I can't invite Qi Niang on weekdays." She looked sideways at her younger brother, "Today's hundred operas are very exciting, Qi Niang seems to like it very much, why don't Qi Lang and Qi Niang sit for a while." ”
Hearing this, the prince asked Su Yan softly, "Yan Yan, do you like it very much?" ”
Su Yan smiled and nodded: "It's really exciting, especially the little ladies who throw colored balls." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand very generously, "What's this, let people recruit them all into the music shop." "Since he likes it, then bring it back, it's a big deal.
Princess Huyang's face is green, what's the matter, it's not enough to come to dinner, and you have to pack someone to take it away?
"What, Sister is reluctant?" The prince raised an eyebrow.
"It's just a few tricks, what's so reluctant." Princess Huyang gritted her teeth and said.
The prince helped Su Yan to walk out, suddenly thought of something, turned around and smiled: "Sister has been too busy lately, flawlessly managing the princess's mansion, or is Changshi lazy, the maids in the mansion are a little hairy, and even a wine is not good, how dare you let it out to entertain guests." ”
Princess Huyang looked at her younger brother's cold gaze, sighed secretly, and said weakly: "I've been feeling a little unwell recently, and I have indeed been negligent, is Qilang okay?" ”
The prince smiled slightly, "I have to thank my brother-in-law for blocking the drink for Guyi, but I accidentally knocked over the hot soup on my brother-in-law, it seems to be a little burned, I'm really sorry." When he returned to the palace, he asked someone to pass the imperial doctor to the house and give his brother-in-law a good look. ”
Princess Huyang's thin white teeth clenched tightly, "Your brother-in-law has thick skin and thick flesh, so you don't need a doctor to see it." "If it weren't for his sister, he would have used this trick to make his brother suspicious of himself.
The crown prince and the crown princess were leaving, and everyone hurriedly got up to see each other off, until the two boarded the chariot and went away, and then turned back to the mansion.
"Shichiro, are you hurt?" Su Yan asked her husband with concern. She had just heard the prince's words clearly, and looked at her husband with a pair of wonderful eyes, for fear that he would also be scalded by the hot soup.
The prince hugged his wife and smiled contentedly: "No, no." He also proudly showed off his neat and new robe, and proudly asked his beloved wife for credit: "As soon as I saw the girl's eyes, I knew that she was not at ease, and sure enough, she poured wine on me." I immediately pulled my brother-in-law in front of me, and by the way, I also spilled the soup. ”
Su Yan raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked with a smile: "Qilang still has time to look at the maid's eyes?" ”
Prince:...... Huh, Qingqing, you heard my husband say, I didn't mean to look at her......
Looking at her husband's aggrieved eyes, Su Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud, she reached out and stroked her husband's handsome face, "I believe in Qilang." ”
The prince's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and the whole person seemed to be shining light, following a large dog, hugging Su Yan and rubbing and rubbing, and whispering tenderly: "Qingqing, you are so good." ”
