055 Qiyang Palace's banquet
Everyone's eyes then moved to Xiao Jingting, and their expressions were in full view for a while.
And Xiao Jingting, who was kneeling on the ground, had turned purple and red, and his expression was a little ugly, but at this time, King Rui suddenly reacted and remembered Xiao Jingting, and said with a smile: "Xiao Sanye, please get up, this king has said that this king is here as a guest today, and it is the same as all guests, so there is no need to be polite." ”
Xiao Chenglin's face was slightly red for a while, and he couldn't understand why King Rui helped him like this.
Most of the military attaches who have intersected with King Qiyang or the nobles of the noble mansion who came here today can see some eyebrows, and this praise is also sincere.
King Rui's praise immediately made the guests in front of the mansion echo the admiration, in fact, Xiao Chenglin is still young, and he really looks like a few moments, which is very extraordinary, especially his reflexes are extremely agile.
In the end, although Xiao Chenglin was hit by King Rui's palm and retreated three steps, King Rui laughed loudly and praised: "Good boy, this king has heard that King Qiyang personally taught his grandson to practice martial arts, and I heard that the eldest young master of the county prince's mansion is a wizard who practices martial arts, and his roots and bones are excellent, so it's really good to try it today!" It seems that my Dafeng will have one more fierce general in the near future! ”
Rui Wang kicked in the air and was kicked back by Xiao Chenglin, took half a step back, and punched Xiao Chenglin again, Xiao Chenglin had already stood up at this time, avoided sideways, raised his hand to fight back, slammed twice, and the two of them passed a few moves in the blink of an eye.
As the prince, King Rui naturally practiced martial arts and learned to ride and shoot, this kick was tiger-like, Xiao Chenglin was startled, instinctively leaned back, supported the ground with one hand, avoided King Rui's kick, and at the same time spun around, raised his foot and hit back at King Rui.
Therefore, Xiao Jingting's attitude was really humble and enthusiastic, he knelt here, Xiao Chenglin also hurriedly followed down the steps, and was about to kneel down to salute, who knew that his knees had just bent halfway, but King Rui in front of him suddenly became difficult and swept over.
In Xiao Jingting's opinion, King Rui will definitely be the future prince of the East Palace, and now King Qiyang obviously doesn't fancy him, if he can take refuge in King Rui, with the support of King Rui, he may be able to compete with Xiao Chenglin.
What's more, this time the emperor is still because of the queen and King Cheng of King Rui, although he was originally framed by King Cheng and King Rui, but the emperor's actions can also show his favor for King Rui.
Xiao Jingting naturally also knows the current situation in the imperial court, King Cheng is finished, the other princes of the emperor are all concubines, and King Rui is the strongest in terms of talent and snobbery, except for the second prince, he is the eldest.
Xiao Jingting was already full of smiles, walked down the steps quickly to greet him, knelt down with his robe, and said, "I didn't know that the prince would come today, I don't know if I miss the welcome, and I hope to forgive me for the rudeness." ”
And King Rui came very quickly, not waiting for the King of Qiyang to come out, King Rui had already ridden to the front of the house, he drove lightly, but brought two guards, turned over and dismounted in front of the door of the mansion and stepped forward with a smile, while walking forward, while greeting everyone around, said: "Today, this king is a guest of the Qiyang Palace, just like all the adults, you don't need to be formal, just feel free." ”
King Cheng is finished, and now the king of Rui is in the limelight in the court, and many people feel that King Rui is half a step away from the position of the prince.
King Rui came, King Qiyang naturally needed to come to greet him in person, Xiao Jingting heard the words and hurriedly ordered the little servant to go in and invite King Qiyang to come over.
Here, Xiao Jingting just welcomed Yongning Hou into the mansion, and when he turned around, he saw Xiao Chenglin smiling and talking to Lord Feng, the left attendant of the military department, Lord Feng also patted Xiao Chenglin's shoulder very cordially, Xiao Jingting's expression couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, and he was about to catch up, when he saw the messenger of the Qiyang Palace, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Rui has come down to the banquet." ”
The guests who came today naturally paid special attention to the two of them, wanting to find out who the Qiyang Palace would hand over to in the future, and when they saw the posture of the two in their eyes, they couldn't help but look a little meaningful.
Although he also followed King Qiyang around some people some time ago, but in the end there are not many, not as many people as Xiao Jingting has known over the years, looking at Xiao Jingting's intentionally or unintentionally showing a delicate way of welcoming guests, calling this Shibo enthusiastically, turning his head and busy calling that brother, Xiao Chenglin has never shown Xiàn out of anger or cramped, only down and generously when the guests look at him, he either clenches his fists or makes a salute, and occasionally meets a few elders who have been introduced by King Qiyang, also greeted a few words with a calm and decent attitude, bowed down to make an invitation, and beckoned the little guy to lead the way.
And Xiao Chenglin is wearing a purple brocade robe with silver silk embroidered with auspicious clouds and dark patterns today, and the young man is wearing purple to show a little calm, standing next to Xiao Jingting, and Xiao Jingting welcomes guests together.
Therefore, today has changed from normal, Xiao Jingting wore an extremely bright sapphire blue arrow-sleeved samurai robe, with a leather belt around his waist and a jade sachet hanging, looking much more energetic than usual. Over the years, there is only Xiao Jingting left in the Qiyang Palace, and the King of Qiyang also intends to take Xiao Jingting around to meet a lot of people, and today he stands in front of the mansion like a master, and welcomes the send-off with a smile.
However, since there was an embryo Xiao Chenglin who practiced martial arts in the house, Xiao Jingting found that what Concubine Qiao said was not right, and now if he looks sick again, he will really be completely given up by his father.
And today, in front of the mansion, it is natural that the third master Xiao Jingting and the eldest young master Xiao Chenglin, Xiao Jingting used to be always dressed weak and pale, this is because his health is not good, but the second is to listen to Concubine Qiao's words since childhood, Concubine Qiao told him, so as to attract his father's attention and get more love.
In less than half an hour, it was the time when the guests came one after another, and the king of Qiyang was elders, so he did not greet guests in front of the mansion.
After saying that, seeing that Qin Yan was still holding his back on his back, his hanging hands were clucking, and he suddenly didn't dare to tease him anymore, so he turned around and ran away.
Yingluo listened to the indescribable tightness of his hoarse voice, felt that her shoulders were shaking, and she laughed sullenly, where did she dare to stay here longer, and she was busy saying without waiting for the maids to come over: "I still have to accompany my grandmother to welcome guests today, I won't accompany you more, the prince enjoys this breeze for a long time, and the melons and fruits in the county king's mansion are very sweet, and you can use more if you are thirsty." ”
Qin Yan had no choice but to drag Yingluo, his face was dark and calm, and he stood up suddenly, turned his back and calmed his breath with a little wolf, and almost gritted his teeth and said, "You wait for the master!" ”
There is a banquet in the garden today, and the pavilions and pavilions everywhere have to put tea melons and fruits and other things, and the melons and fruits are not beautiful when they are placed early, and this time is close to the banquet, there are a few maids holding melons and fruits and other things passing by the lake, Yingluo's shout, immediately attracted their attention, there are already two maids who reacted quickly, and responded crisply to this side.
"You guys, send two plates of sweet and fresh melons and fruits, the prince is thirsty."
Unexpectedly, Yingluo took advantage of the moment when he was shocked by her bold words and deeds, and suddenly used all his strength to push Qin Yan away, and ran out two steps, Qin Yan's face turned dark, and he was about to raise his hand to grab her, but Yingluo was already screaming at the top of her voice.
In short, no man in love can withstand a woman's picking, he just felt that the blood all over his body was gushing to one place, and it was ignited in an instant.
Qin Yan was already rubbed by her, who would have thought that she would dare to use such words to stimulate and tease him, and his face suddenly turned a little red, but he didn't know whether he was angry, excited, or ashamed.
Her voice is soft and sweet, seductive.
After that, she also leaned into his ear and laughed softly, sighed, and said, "What are you bothered about?" ”
Her hand stroking Qin Yan's hair as she spoke, suddenly crossed his ear, and her eyes even glanced boldly and recklessly at a certain place under his robe.
Yingluo looked at him, but was stunned: "Angry? I said you have soft hair, but I didn't say anywhere else. ”
Yingluo said and poked her fingertips into Qin Yan's bun twice, Qin Yan didn't want to discuss the issue of hair quality with her at this time, her eyes became darker and darker, her expression became more and more tense, and she was already on the verge of a violent outburst.
Yingluo raised her right hand and pressed it against Qin Yan's chest, not allowing him to get close, raised her body slightly, stroked Qin Yan's hair bun with her other hand, and said, "Didn't you say that my attention is not on you, let me take a good look, hey, Qin Yan, I found that your hair is quite soft." ”
Qin Yan was full of anger at the moment, where did he still have the kung fu to discuss this issue with her in depth, and when he heard this, he didn't answer, and pressed Yingluo again.
Who knew that Yingluo suddenly raised her head and avoided Qin Yan's kiss, and then she winked at Qin Yan and said: "When I and Brother Chi got married, we were still in Ding'an Hou Mansion, it was a tiger and wolf den, I was in a hurry to jump away, and naturally hoped that the sooner I got married, the better, but now that the Junwang Mansion is so good, the natural situation is different, and this little thing is worth your taste?" ”
He hadn't seen Yingluo for almost a month, and he was already a little thirsty, so he couldn't stand her teasing and teasing like this, so he immediately stopped competing with Yingluo, and simply admitted defeat, leaned over and wanted to kiss her passively.
Qin Yan was just a single shirt in the middle of the underwear in winter, and then put on a big coat outside, but now that the weather is warmer, he has only one underwear on his body, and the splendid robe that has passed the rain and the sky is clear, and the thin fabric is covered on his body, and he can clearly feel every softness and every movement of her fingers.
She even approached him, rubbing his hard chest with the woman's soft body, intentionally or unintentionally.
Qin Yan's breathing suddenly became a little chaotic, the muscles on his body were clearly tightened, Yingluo made persistent efforts, and his right hand had slid to his lower abdomen, like a paintbrush, along his abdominal muscles, touching down the ground at once.
The corners of Yingluo's lips lightly crossed a sly smile, and the tip of her tongue tirelessly traced Qin Yan's thin lips, but the hand that was originally around Qin Yan's neck moved, stroking down along his back, a little closer to his waist and abdomen, and gently scratching and pribing with his fingernails when it came to the sensitive parts.
She was full of slander, but she was also aroused by Qin Yan's competitive spirit, the more he did not move like a mountain, and his face was cold, she wanted to make him completely admit defeat and throw away his armor.
Just because she didn't say a word, she really got into trouble, and she really settled the old account with her, which is really pampered and proud.
Yingluo opened her eyes slightly, and saw Qin Yan staring at her with deep eyes, like a deep well without waves, with a cold color, and said in her heart, this person is really childish.
Qin Yan was arrogant, Yingluo found that he kissed him for half a sound, he didn't react at all, Yingluo didn't feel a little funny, poked out his fragrant tongue and went to Qin Yan's mouth, but he still closed his teeth tightly, and let her lick and pry back and forth with his little tongue, he didn't move, he just didn't let her in.
Seeing that Qin Yan was getting closer and closer, Yingluo simply didn't wait for him to teach and punish herself in person, took the initiative to raise her arm to wrap around Qin Yan's neck, raised her head and kissed him on the lips, and gently rubbed it.
Yingluo was shrouded by his figure in the narrow space where the gooseneck chair and the pavilion pillar were connected, and when she saw him turn over the old accounts, she didn't feel a little weak. Didn't she just want to avoid Qin Yan and urge Chi Jingyi to get hired early.
Qin Yan sneered lightly, his eyes were cold, and his posture was dangerously pressed over like Yingluo.
Qin Yan's face sank when he saw her like this, he snorted coldly, and said in a weird manner: "Is it fast?" Ye remembered that he was half a month away from the capital, and the dowry of the Chi family went to the Ding'an Hou Mansion. How could you not be too fast? I'm afraid it's just too slow, right? ”
Yingluo suddenly glared and said, "You will come to hire tomorrow?" That's a little too fast! ”
It's okay not to mention it, as soon as she mentioned Qin Yan's face, her face sank slightly, and said: "The Ministry of Rites is doing things with ancient rites, which is more cumbersome than the usual three books and six rites, and the lord urged it twice, and it took almost a month to complete one book and three rites, but yesterday the book of rites had been listed and sent over to the princess of the county for a look, and Ye Ming'er personally came to collect the gifts." ”
Regarding Yingluo and Qin Yan's family affairs, Tang didn't say much to her, but only urged Yingluo to embroider the wedding dress, Tang didn't mention much, and Yingluo naturally didn't want to ask herself, so she knew that the Ministry of Rites would visit from time to time, but she didn't know how far the three books and six ceremonies had been carried out.
Yingluo said to Qin Yan and said, "Don't fool me, where do you need to personally supervise these things, by the way, someone from the Ministry of Rites came to see my grandmother yesterday, where is the marriage going now?" ”
It's just that he naturally won't say much to Yingluo, only tugged at the corners of his lips slightly, and said: "Busy, busy with the people in the Ministry of Rites, so that they can hurry up and finish the three books and six ceremonies, and the lord can marry you as soon as possible." ”
Qin Yan is naturally busy, the fall of King Cheng, a bloody storm in the court, many officials followed the fall, and the snobbery of all parties naturally had to openly and secretly install people who supported themselves to take the opportunity to take the position, Qin Yan had not come to see Yingluo for nearly a month, first, he didn't dare to break into her boudoir casually, and then he really couldn't spare his hands and feet.
Seeing that he had an accusatory face, Yingluo couldn't help but sneer, leaned over slightly and raised his hand to hold Qin Yan's cheek, fiddled back and forth twice, and said, "Don't say it, it seems that you have reduced some weight, have you been very busy lately?" ”
Yingluo was thoughtful, but she felt a pain in her scalp, she glared at Qin Yan and saw a strand of hair wrapped around her on his index finger, staring at her with slightly squinted eyes, looking at each other, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "I haven't seen you for almost a month, you woman can't pay more attention to the master?" ”
"Oops."
Princess Yongle had better be able to pretend to be able to last a lifetime, otherwise even if she wants to get better, she has to think about whether she can bear the crime of bullying the king again.
Not to mention how much of a crime Princess Yongle would suffer if she pretended to be crazy, she had never heard that people were shocked or had a fever that damaged her brain, but I never heard that the madman could suddenly get better.
Although Qin Yan's words were not finished, they were already full of coldness, Yingluo thought about it and smiled, she felt that what Qin Yan said was very right.
He said with a slightly cold expression, and his voice was slightly cold, and said, "She'd better be really crazy, or ......"
Yingluo took a bite of us, Qin Yan unconsciously appeared a shallow smile on the corner of his lips, raised his hand and gently pulled up a strand of long hair behind Yingluo's back that was blowing lightly in the wind, and said, "I will send someone to keep an eye on her at all times." ”
Hearing this, Yingluo threw all the fish food in her hand into the water, clapped her hands and turned around, and said: "I always think that she is crazy by coincidence, Princess Yongle now hates most people except King Rui, it is us, if she pretends to be crazy, that mental perseverance is definitely very comparable to people, such a person is the most terrifying, we still pay more attention to her good." ”
Qin Yan sat down beside Yingluo in his robe, and then said: "It's been almost a month now, she looks like a complete madman, and there are no flaws, although the emperor no longer pays attention to her, but he also sent his henchman Wu Mama to take care of Princess Yongle personally, and even the emperor thinks that she is crazy, maybe she is really crazy." ”
Yingluo always felt that it was too time for Princess Yongle to be crazy, and she always doubted that she was crazy. She knew that there must be Qin Yan's people in the palace, what kind of state Princess Yongle was in now, Yingluo thought that Qin Yan should be clear.
Emperor Tianxi did not punish Princess Yongle more, let alone denounce her as a commoner, but still let her enjoy the honor of the princess and live in the Yongle Palace.
The news that Princess Yongle is crazy has already spread all over the capital now, and Yingluo naturally knows about it.
The two arrived at a water pavilion near the lake, Yingluo sat down on the gooseneck chair, and looked down at the fish according to the railing, Qin Yan took the fish food next to him and sent it to Yingluo, Yingluo raised her eyes and smiled at him, took it and sprinkled it into the lake, while watching the fish compete for food, shaking her head and tail, and saying to Qin Yan: "I have heard about Princess Yongle, is she really crazy?" ”
Today, the garden of Qiyang Wangfu is also very bright, and almost all the flowers in the greenhouse have been moved out and decorated everywhere.
On the same day, Yingluo returned to the Qiyang Palace, and she never saw Qin Yan again, and it was almost a month in the blink of an eye. The taste of missing is always a little sweet and a little bitter, the two hold hands and go to the garden side by side, probably reminiscing about the many days of separation, no one took the initiative to speak, but they shook hands that never separated each other and poured out their thoughts to each other.
said that he was about to lead the way, but Qin Yan took the opportunity to take her hand, Yingluo did not break away, and the left and right were married, and the two behaved a little intimately, and it was nothing to be seen.
Tang Chong Yingluo said, took Mama Du's hand and took a few maids away. Yingluo didn't twist it, and stepped forward to Qin Yan and said, "Now there is some spring in the garden, let's go." ”
Qin Yan didn't want the Tang Clan to praise his appearance so directly, and his face was a little uncomfortable for a while. Tang Shi had already stood up and said, "Today's banquet guests are busy, old, take advantage of this time to rest for a while, you will lead the prince to the garden on behalf of your grandmother, so that you can entertain guests." ”
Qin Yan entered the room, his eyes naturally swept over Yingluo's body, and then he stepped forward and respectfully saluted Tang's, Tang's voice woke up, and his smiling face was full of wrinkles, and he couldn't stop nodding, his eyes were full of satisfaction, and said, "Good, good!" The prince does not wronged our sisters, they are a perfect match and complement each other. ”
Tang heard that Qin Yan no longer wore a mask, but this was the first time she saw Qin Yan without a mask, and she was immediately stunned, not to mention Mama Du and the maids.
Tang laughed again, Qin Yan entered the room while speaking, Yingluo looked at it and saw that he was wearing a rare rain-swept azure brocade robe today, with dark flower moire, a brocade belt tied around his waist, a green jade pendant tied on the left, decorated with blue tassels, and the blue purse she gave before was still hanging on the right, with a jade belt and a golden crown, and a dragon's eye was inlaid in front of the golden crown.
Hearing this, Yingluo raised her eyebrows and said arrogantly: "He dares!" ”
Suddenly, Mama Du laughed again, Tang smiled and patted Yingluo's hand to her, and it calmed down after half a sound, and said, "People came here early in the morning, what is the picture?" Okay, after a while, the guests are here, and it's not good to let you meet again, and now he is here, and my grandmother can't be disgusted, so be the wicked person who beats the mandarin ducks, and you go to the garden to talk for a while. This time, you went to change your clothes, and he thought that his grandmother had done a wicked person and wouldn't let him see you, so shouldn't he complain about his grandmother when he went back? ”
Yingluo took the opportunity to sit back next to Tang's side, and said: "The granddaughter is all fulfilling the grandmother's wish, the grandmother just wants to see that the granddaughter is shy, and the granddaughter is ashamed of filial piety, and the grandmother has arranged the granddaughter again, but there is no such reason." ”
Bodhi stopped Yingluo and pushed her back to Tang's side, Tang pulled Yingluo, pulled away her hand covering her face, and saw that her face was as white as jade, Mo said that she was blushing, and she didn't have any shyness, but she was cunning and narrow, and she unconsciously raised her hand and pointed at her and said: "You leather monkey, grandmother teased you and became you teasing grandmother, hey, my stomach hurts when I laugh, and grandmother won't dare to provoke you again in the future." ”
As she spoke, she covered her face and went out, her behavior was too fake and exaggerated, causing Tang and Du Mama and others to be stunned for a moment, and when they reacted, Tang suddenly laughed and tears flowed down, raised his hand and pointed to Yingluo, who was about to leave, and said, "Don't hold her yet, so that I can see if my face is burning." ”
She immediately stood up, hung her head and pinched the corners of her clothes, stomped her feet like a little woman, and said angrily: "Grandmother, ignore you, people go back to change the clothes of the guests." ”
Yingluo has long been used to being teased at these times, and it is really difficult to pretend to be shy, but looking at Tang's interesting eyes, she feels that she is not suitable for being shy, and she can't help the old man's high hopes.
When Tang heard this, he also looked at Yingluo with a smile, and said: "What time is this, the prince came early, isn't there any treasure in our county palace that Jingwang Mansion doesn't have?" ”
In the Millennium Garden, Yingluo had just accompanied the Tang family to have breakfast and was about to go back to change the clothes to welcome the guests, and Mama Du came in with a smile, glanced at Yingluo playfully, and then said to the Tang family: "The prince of King Jing is here, and now he has met the prince of the county, and he wants to come over to say goodbye to the princess of the county." ”
In the morning, the Qiyang Palace's mansion was sprinkled with dust, and the decorated flowers were splendid.
It is said to be a flower viewing banquet, in fact, the people in the county king's mansion know that the county king and the county princess mainly introduce the two little masters to relatives and friends, and the eldest young master and the county lord of Zhenning met the magnates in Beijing for the first time in the Qiyang palace. The county king and the princess of the county attach great importance to this matter can be imagined, so people dare not slack off at all, for fear of making a little mistake and losing face for several lifetimes.
And a few pots of peonies in the conservatory of Qiyang Wangfu also bloomed early, Tang went to the mansions on the third day to send a flower-viewing sticker, today is the Qiyang Wangfu to hold a flower-viewing banquet, the day of the banquet guests.
On the rockery everywhere, the tender yellow spring flowers have drawn out a delicate layer of yellow, the blue lake water, the weeping willows planted by the lake are also inadvertently draped in light green silk, dancing lightly in the morning breeze, even a peach forest by the lake has bloomed sparsely pink, the scenery is picturesque.
However, the tense atmosphere in the capital has not affected the Qiyang Palace, these days the warm sun is shining, as if in a few days, the garden of the Qiyang Palace has emerged with a lot of fresh colors.
With the fall of King Cheng's Mansion, the Xianguo Mansion and the Yongyi Marquis Mansion were connected with several clans, and then Emperor Tianxi successively sent down several mansions that were originally close to King Cheng, and the sound of the armor of the Praetorian Guards resounded in the streets and alleys, which made this early spring a little more indescribably tense and gloomy.
The Shangyuan Festival has been gone for nearly a month, although the winter has not yet gone away, but there is already some spring warmth in the capital. However, the spring warmth of this probe did not make the magnates in Beijing pay attention to it, and they were all overshadowed by the bloody rain and bloody wind in the capital for several days.
