Chapter 149: Secret, Happy
Three days later, the plum blossom banquet was held as scheduled.
The royal plum garden on the outskirts of the city, the fragrance of flowers is full of flowers, the plum blossoms are in full bloom in the snow, a large patch of red and pink, looking at it from a distance, it is like a sea of flowers, very dreamy.
This year's plum blossoms bloomed particularly early and were particularly prosperous.
Under Meihai, the banquet had already been set up, Princess Changping and the crown prince Long Tianmo sat on the main throne on the left and right, and the first on the left side of the prince was Princess Rongle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Duanmu Yao.
Although there are many romantic and talented people attending this banquet, but most of them are women, Long Tianmo didn't want to come, but who knew that he only received an order from his father last night to let him accompany him.
A few days ago, I didn't know who spread the rumor, saying that Uncle Qin Huang had been accompanying Princess Rongle, and it seemed that the rumor was false.
Ruthless is the most emperor's family, the women in the royal family, whether they are wives or concubines, which one is not a tool? When it is useful, everyone fights for it to break the blood, and when it is useless, it is abandoned like a shoe, let alone the woman of the prince?
If Duanmu Yao wants to marry him, he won't blink his eyes, and he will marry him immediately. It's a pity that everyone knows that Duanmu Yao's heart is with King Qin.
Although the Western Zhou Dynasty and Tianning are allies by marriage, they each have their own calculations after all, and the father and emperor are eager to hope that Princess Rongle can come over as much as possible, and the two countries can further cooperate, especially in the defense of the military division on the northeast border, and can reach a consensus as soon as possible to unanimously fight against the Celestial Calendar.
Helplessly, the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty had already let go and asked Princess Rongle to find Ruyi Langjun to remarry.
Ruyi Langjun, who else is there besides Uncle Qinhuang?
It's just that Duanmu Yao has not publicly expressed his position on this open secret so far, and Uncle Qinhuang's attitude is even more daring to figure it out without permission, so the matter dragged on like this.
"Yaoyao, try this plum blossom tea, and you can only drink it in Tianning?"
Long Tianmo looked for a topic, and a sentence of "Yaoyao" narrowed the distance between them, but who knows, Duanmu Yao did not give him face, and kept a distance with a sentence of "His Royal Highness the Prince", "His Royal Highness the Prince, is it more appropriate to call me Rongle?" ”
A trace of anger flashed in Long Tianmo's eyes, but he hid it very well.
This woman is very beautiful, and she is indeed beautiful, but he really looks down on this woman from the bottom of his heart, if it weren't for the fact that she is the princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he wouldn't have looked at her more.
Although angry, Long Tianmo's tone was still gentle, "I heard that Uncle Qin Huang will travel after the New Year, does Princess Rongle know where he will go?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Duanmu Yao looked at them with a shocked face.
She didn't go back with her royal brother but stayed in Tianning for the New Year, hoping to find a way to get married after the year, but she didn't expect her senior brother to travel!
Emperor Tianhui secretly kept saying that he would guarantee that she could find Ruyi Langjun, does this still count?
Seeing Duanmu Yao's reaction, Long Tianmo was very satisfied.
"Princess Rongle doesn't seem to know about this yet, it seems that she has to wait for Aunt Qin Huang to come and ask her again." As he spoke, he took a sip of tea and didn't talk much.
However, Duanmu Yao's face has all changed! Han Yunxi? Can Han Yunxiju know the whereabouts of his senior brother? How is this possible?
At this time, most of the invitees had already arrived, chatting in twos and threes, of course, the hottest conversation was none other than Han Yunxi.
Will Han Yunxi come?
The plum blossom banquet is not only an occasion for competing interpersonal relationships, but also an occasion for competing talents, not to mention Han Yunxi's interpersonal relationships, she basically has no girlfriends and friends in the circle, as for talent...... That's the biggest attraction of the day!
Han Yunxi, the daughter of a commoner from an ordinary background, how could a medical family be compared with the royal family and nobles?
And she has not been favored since she was a child, she has not received any cultivation, what talent can she have? What confidence does she have to participate in the plum blossom banquet? The plum blossom banquet is not as simple as eating, chatting, and appreciating the flowers.
It is said that many people in and outside the palace have set up gambling games, and they bet on whether Han Yunxi dares to attend today.
However, in the midst of a whisper, the eunuch made a loud announcement, "Princess Qin has arrived...... It's like a lady to ......."
Here it comes?
How dare she come?
For a while, everyone followed the sound and looked, only to see Han Yunxi wearing a beautiful and refined Shengxue white dress, snow-white, only a plum blossom jade belt was embellished around the waist, and the white skirt was red jade, what a simple match, but it gave people a feeling of brightness, killing all the luxuriously dressed women present in seconds.
Of course, Murong Wan, who was walking beside her, was also dim.
Because of Han Yunxi's identity, even if everyone was reluctant, they still got up to greet each other, but Duanmu Yao sat calmly, which was particularly obvious in a group of people standing.
Han Yunxi got closer, and then got up lazily, without even a title, "It's been a long time." ”
She hates to call her princess, and she hates to call her "Princess Qin"!
Han Yunxi was not angry, but smiled harmlessly, "Princess Rongle has been here for a few days, I thought that your senior brother would take you to the house for tea, who knows that I can't wait for you anymore." ”
Immediately, he assumed the posture of the hostess, "Or, when this banquet is over, go back with me and go to our courtyard to drink tea." ”
She didn't care if Duanmu Yao would really go to the Qin Palace? It doesn't matter what Long Feiye's attitude is.
Anyway, she is hard-hearted, no matter who wants to bully her, if you want to show her face, there is no way!
As soon as these words came out, the hand in Duanmu Yao's sleeve clenched into a fist, there is no doubt that Han Yunxi's words hit her to the point, what kind of status is she in King Qin's heart, she herself knows the most, and the companionship of that day is just the coercion of Emperor Tianhui.
On that day, the senior brother didn't say more than five sentences to her!
"Okay, I'll go and play with my senior brother another day!" Duanmu Yao endured her temperament and replied, she thought, Han Yunxi, don't be too complacent, you will be good-looking later!
Han Yunxi sat down between Duanmu Yao and Long Tianmo, as for Murong Wanru, she didn't have such a high-standard treatment, so she could only sit down.
Princess Changping didn't say anything, glanced at Han Yunxi from time to time, and sneered in her heart, her banquet today was all for Han Yunxi!
Han Yunxi will definitely be the protagonist, but he must be the protagonist of the ugly!
Compared with Princess Changping, the crown prince Long Tianmo was much more polite, and as soon as Han Yunxi sat down, he opened his mouth, "Aunt Qinhuang, I heard that Uncle Qinhuang will travel after the New Year?" ”
His voice was not loud, but it was enough for Duanmu Yao beside him to hear it, undoubtedly, he did it on purpose, even if he didn't like it, he still had to win Duanmu Yao, and if he wanted to win Duanmu Yao, he must first make her die for King Qin.
Han Yunxi didn't expect Long Tianmo to suddenly ask her about Long Feiye, and she really had never heard of this matter, well, in fact, she knew less about him than anyone else.
He was about to answer truthfully, but he caught a glimpse of Duanmu Yao's hostile gaze.
Han Yunxi admitted that she was very bad, and she said without thinking about it, "Who did you listen to, King Qin only sued me for this matter." ”
Long Tianmo smiled, "Naturally, I heard it from my father. ”
Emperor Tianhui!
Duanmu Yao narrowed his eyes, Emperor Tianhui knew that Long Feiye was leaving, why didn't he tell her? Damn it!
"Aunt Qin, where is Uncle Huang going? How long to go? Long Tianmo asked again.
"You ask your father to go." Han Yunxi replied casually.
"My father didn't know, so ...... Let me ask you! Long Tianmo lowered his voice.
Han Yunxi smiled, looking mysterious, "Secret!" ”
False and real, she didn't know what Long Mo was doing when she asked about these things, but when she saw Duanmu Yao's overcast face that was about to drip water, she was very happy.
She found that Duanmu Yao and Long Feiye didn't seem to be that close, at least, Duanmu Yao, like her, didn't know that Long Feiye was going to travel after the New Year.
Thinking of this, Han Yunxi's mood was much more relaxed, and she didn't even notice it.
While chatting, the eunuch's loud announcement once again attracted everyone's attention.
"Pingbei Hou Mansion, Gongzi Che is here...... Pingnan Hou Mansion, Gongzi Shepherd! ”
The two sons of Pingbei Hou and Pingnanhou, known as the sons of the north and south, are not small, and their reputation is not good.
The eldest son of the Pingbei Marquis, known as the son of the Northern Prince, is dressed in white, holding a folding fan, outstanding and suave. He is not only famous for his talents, but also famous for his amorous nature, he has just turned eighteen this year, and he is already a ten-room concubine, and it is rumored that he even has his father's concubine involved, which is simply a human-faced beast.
Pingnanhou's son-in-law Li Muge, known as Nangongzi, is dressed in purple, holding a folding fan, at first glance, it is also dusty and clean, and he looks like a fairy, but when he takes a serious look, he sees that he has lotus fingers in his hand, and his feet are small broken steps, so feminine that he is more feminine than a woman, and it has long been an open secret that he has the goodness of Longyang.
The appearance of the sons of the north and south has caused a lot of restlessness, the suave man is the poison of the woman, and the feminine man is the best friend of the woman, and the popularity of these two sons has always been high.
This time, Princess Changping presided over the banquet and invited many men, but Princess Changping has never been associated with them, so why did she invite them this time?
Not minding everyone's timid discussions, Princess Changping glanced at Murong Wanru playfully, Murong seemed to reply with a meaningful look, and the two tacitly understood that they seemed to be hiding some secrets.
Han Yunxi also wondered in her heart, she glanced at the prince of the north and south, and always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say anything was wrong.
Soon everyone arrived, and the feast began......
This year's plum blossom banquet is themed on plum blossom refreshments, and all kinds of ingenious pastries and teas are sent
But I don't want to taste it.
Looking at Han Yunxi sitting high above, they can be described as all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, and they are also eager to try, and they can't wait to see Han Yunxi make a fool of themselves.
A commoner's daughter from a lower background than them is simply insulting the words "Princess Qin", and she dares to sit on it so calmly.
Today's opportunity has come, they want to beat this woman back to her original form, to break her ridiculous pride, blind arrogance; Let her know that even if she really treats herself as a green onion, no one will ever eat her dipping sauce!
No, Princess Changping hasn't spoken yet, and someone can't hold back her temperament, this person is none other than the youngest daughter of the Ministry of Shangshu, Mrs. Xu's sister Xu Yunrong.
She got up and said respectfully, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the plum blossoms are blooming so vigorously this year, why don't we come to Yongmei!" ”
Yongmei ......
Princess Changping was waiting for someone to open her mouth, she was overjoyed, and she stood up excitedly, "Miss Xu is so elegant, this is a good idea!" ”
