Section 9 A woman's lack of talent is virtue
Xue Fanyin stood in place, originally afraid that Dongfang Chenyan would hand her over and let others dispose of her in order to settle the matter, but she didn't expect that Dongfang Chenyan would say such a thing, not to mention the four palace maids who were kneeling, even Xue Fanyin herself was shocked.
The four people who were kneeling were obviously frightened by Dongfang Chenyan's words, and wanted to say that although the prince was romantic, he was not affectionate, and when did he admit that any woman was his person, even if it was the one who looked beautiful and fragrant, and was the most favored by the prince, the side concubine had never been said by the prince to be "his woman", who was the woman in front of him.
Dongfang Chenyan stepped forward and took Xue Fanyin's hand, then turned around and left, just after walking a few steps, Dongfang Chenyan seemed to think of something, and stopped again, "Remember, this is the princess of this king, no one can bully you!" With that, he strode away.
The four palace maids were obviously frightened by Dongfang Chenyan's words, the one they offended just now was Princess Yan, didn't it mean that Princess Yan didn't like it, and since she was Princess Yan, why was she dressed so plain and simple, seeing that Prince Yan's anger just now didn't seem like he didn't care about her. With this full of questions, they could only get up and report to their masters, after all, it was not a trivial matter to offend the people of King Yan's Mansion, not to mention that this time it also led Prince Yan to come out in person.
Xue Fanyin didn't speak along the way, but Ren Dongfang Chenyan took her hand and followed behind him, still wondering in her heart whether Dongfang Chenyan had already admitted her identity just now, thinking that the hero who saved the beauty just now was still beautiful.
"Didn't you stand still and wait for the king?" Dongfang Chenyan suddenly stopped, turned around and asked Xue Fanyin.
Xue Fanyin didn't see how anxious she was when Dongfang Chenyan came back, thinking that Xue Fanyin was a road idiot, for fear that she would get lost, and if she met someone again, she was really afraid that she would be wronged, if she hadn't found her, Dongfang Chenyan would have been shouting at her all over the palace.
Xue Fanyin didn't pay attention, seeing that she was about to crash into Dongfang Chenyan's arms, she hurriedly stopped, "I remember, but I saw a pair of butterflies and thought it was quite rare, so I chased after them." Xue Fanyin was in a hurry to explain, she really didn't take Dongfang Chenyan's words as a deaf ear and left, but just forgot about it for a while.
"Won't you tell them who you are?" Dongfang Chen walked forward, and at the same time did not forget to teach the people behind him.
"I'll find out next time." Xue Fanyin followed behind Dongfang Chenyan, no matter how he saved himself just now, Xue Fanyin still knew how to repay her kindness, and now she will definitely not disobey Dongfang Chenyan.
"Well, remember that the emperor and the queen mother and the ladies of the palace will not attend the luncheon, so you don't have to whisper to them." Dongfang Chenyan instructed Xue Fanyin as he walked. If it weren't for Xue Fanyin to be polite to them just now, they must not dare to treat Xue Fanyin like this, thinking of this, he said: "Also, if it is not necessary, this king does not need to bow down to anyone. ”
"Then if I knelt down for that palace maid just now, would you still help me?" Xue Fanyin is glad now, fortunately he didn't give in, otherwise with Dongfang Chenyan's pride, I'm afraid he wouldn't care about himself at all.
"No, it won't." Dongfang Chenyan replied simply, but what he thought in his heart was that if this was the case, there was no need for those people to live.
The two didn't talk again along the way, so they walked into the garden where the luncheon was held one after another, this garden was very large, but the garden felt a little barren, and Xue Fanyin didn't see many flowers.
"Third Emperor Brother, everyone is waiting for you." The man in an apricot-yellow robe with a four-clawed dragon pattern embroidered on the robe said so when he saw Dongfang Chenyan coming in.
Seeing him dressed like this and sitting on the top position, it should naturally be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the woman sitting next to him in a pink dress, looking like a flower and the moon, with thin powder, and looking graceful and feminine, should be the crown princess.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Although Dongfang Chenyan said polite words in his mouth, his body didn't move.
Although the prince was a little dissatisfied, it was not easy to say anything, he was arrogant as a royal brother, but he had great achievements, and even his father would not let him salute sometimes, let alone him, "They are all their own brothers, why should the third emperor brother see outside, take a seat." ”
"Thank you, Prince." After speaking, Dongfang Chenyan went straight to his seat and sat down. His seat was first on the left, in order of their size among the brothers, but it was found that the second seat on the right hand was still vacant.
Xue Fanyin followed Dongfang Chenyan, and when she was about to sit down, the person opposite spoke, "Isn't this the third brother and sister?" The third emperor brother has been hiding, and it is rare to see the true face today. ”
It was Princess Ling who spoke, Dongfang Chenyan's second sister-in-law, she was dressed in a water blue dress, but she also looked dignified and moving. Xue Fanyin has to say that among the three women present, she really looks ordinary, and it is no wonder that Dongfang Chenyan has never taken her out, Dongfang Chenyan is one of the best among his brothers, but Xue Fanyin is really not comparable to such a group of beauties.
If Dongfang Chenyan knew that Xue Fanyin thought so, he felt that he was wronged, in fact, it was never that Dongfang Chenyan was unwilling to take her out, but Xue Fanyin didn't even dare to look at him in the past, let alone follow him into the palace to see such people, Dongfang Chenyan took Song Mengqin with him wherever he could take Song Mengqin, and if he couldn't take Song Mengqin, he said that Xue Fanyin was sick and couldn't get up, and it was the same except for the people of the Xue family and the people of the Yan Palace, it is estimated that no one knows Xue Fanyin. Let Xue Fanyin enter the palace today to see if she has really changed.
"Exactly." Xue Fanyin was not pretentious, she nodded to the person opposite and sat down, it was not that she was rude, it was Dongfang Chenyan who told her that she didn't have to whisper to people, Dongfang Chenyan could do this to the prince, so she couldn't do this to the person opposite.
"I heard that the three brothers and sisters have a unique piano skill, I don't know if it's true." The crown princess looked at Xue Fanyin and said.
"Didn't the crown princess hear that the third brother and sister admitted in front of everyone a few days ago that they were just in vain, and they don't know if it's true or not." Princess Ling still had disdain in her eyes.
"In this way, this concubine is lonely and unheard." The crown princess looked like I didn't know anything.
Xue Fanyin looked at the way the two of them sang and harmonized, and knew that there was no good banquet, but she had admitted it before, and there was nothing to hide, so she said: "That's not a rumor, I'm really in vain." ”
Seeing that Dongfang Chenyan didn't say anything, Princess Ling decided that Xue Fanyin was indeed as unloved by Prince Yan as she heard it, and her courage also increased, "It seems that there are really a lot of people in this world who have a false name!" ”
"Second brother and sister, this is a bad word, who doesn't know that General Xue's daughter Xue Fanyin is a famous talented girl in the city, and you and I are not as good as you." The crown princess seemed to be speaking for Xue Fanyin, but who knew what she was thinking.
Xue Fanyin thought, it's a pity that these two don't go to act, they don't eat so much delicious food, and you don't have to hold on to yourself without saying a word, and I don't know where you offended them.
In addition to Dongfang Chenfan, who was unable to attend, the other princes all looked like they were watching a good show, Dongfang Chenqi wanted to look at Dongfang Chenyan's face to speak for Xue Fanyin, but was stopped by Dongfang Chenyan's look, although he was a little puzzled, but he also watched the play quietly.
Xue Fanyin saw that no one helped her, and the two of them looked like they had to find out, and Xue Fanyin also wanted to enjoy the food, so she said: "I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and what you said is just rumors." ”
Xue Fanyin didn't think there was anything, but everyone present was shocked, they never thought that Xue Fanyin would say so happily that she didn't know anything, and the crown princess wanted to say something, but was stopped by the prince.
Princess Keling would not let Xue Fanyin go like this, she was going to embarrass her in the same way, but now she actually said that she would not say anything, and they could no longer embarrass her, so she didn't see the horses over there, so she said: "The so-called tiger girl of the gate, General Xue is brave, presumably the third brother and sister should know a little bit about equestrianism." ”
"No, it won't." Xue Fanyin replied quickly, horseback riding is a dangerous thing, and she doesn't want to joke with her life.
"How could it not, isn't it that even General Xue is in vain, so it's no wonder that he can't return to the dynasty." Princess Ling looked pityful.
It was also these words that angered Xue Fanyin, "Princess Ling, please don't confuse me and my father, the dead are the greatest, since you have to get on the horse, I will get on it, but I really won't, but please remember that this has nothing to do with my father and my brother, their brave and good soldiers are all obvious to all, and you can't be so slandered." After saying that, Xue Fanyin got up and walked towards the horses.
"Tell me, which one." Xue Fanyin thought that she wouldn't be able to do it anyway, and it would be the same to choose any horse, so it was better to let them choose, so as not to fall into the hands of others.
"Just the jujube one." Princess Ling pointed to the horse, looking like she had succeeded in her treacherous plan.
Xue Fanyin took out the horse and turned over and rode up, not to mention that it really looked like that. Dongfang Chenyan seemed to be drinking, but his eyes kept looking at Xue Fanyin.
The horse was obedient as soon as it was ridden, but it didn't take long for it to start galloping, Xue Fanyin couldn't control it at all, so he could only hold on to the reins tightly and let it run, but the speed of the horse was too fast, Xue Fanyin's strength was limited, thinking that he would die like this today, and his hand had been broken by the reins, and he couldn't hold on to it, and he was about to fall, but he saw Dongfang Chenyan flying on the horse, sticking to Xue Fanyin's ear and saying, "Don't let go." ”
It is strange that this horse is so docile to Dongfang Chenyan, and he was controlled by him and rode back to its original place. Dongfang Chenyan got off the horse with Xue Fanyin in his arms, but he didn't forget to say the last sentence "Be strong!" ”
"It turns out that the third brother and sister really can't ride a horse, which is really embarrassing." Princess Ling said embarrassedly, her eyes full of joy that the treacherous plan had succeeded.
Xue Fanyin glanced at her, sat down in her seat, and slowly spoke: "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented." ”
