Chapter 104: The Feast of the Hung Gate
The Queen Mother hooked the corners of her mouth, and her eyes swept over Duanyue, who was sitting below, with a touch of intriguing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 She asked abruptly as she put down the tulle fan she was holding.
"Shi'an, you're not too young, but what do you like?"
Duanyue was shocked when she heard this, she raised her eyes and looked at the Queen Mother suspiciously, seeing that she looked like she was smiling but not smiling, she really didn't understand what the Queen Mother's intentions were. She swallowed softly, the sore throat around her white neck rolling up and down, and a soft reply leaped out from between her lips and teeth.
"Back to the Queen Mother, Duanyue is still young, and she doesn't understand the relationship between these men and women." She had her head down, and the roots of her ears were red and shiny. Everyone thought that Duanyue was too shy to speak, but in fact, Duanyue felt ashamed because she lied.
Hearing the Queen Mother ask, "The person you like", Yan Xinghui's face suddenly appeared in front of Duanyue's eyes, no matter how he shook his head, he couldn't shake him out of his head. However, Duanyue finally denied it with a clear conscience.
After listening to what Duanyue said, a touch of anger appeared on her face, and she nodded slightly at Duanyue with the fine lines at the corners of her eyes. "Fifteen is not too young, it's time to start thinking about getting married. Oh, that's right! The queen suddenly turned her face to the queen mother and grinned. By the way, the queen mother, I remember whether the old family's Yucheng is similar to Shi'an's age, Yucheng looks dignified, has good literary talent and martial arts, and is very compatible with Shi'an! ”
As soon as she said this, Duanyue chuckled in her heart, and her back was cold. Meng Yucheng is the eldest son of the eldest prince, and because he was born early, his age is no different from Duanyue. But although they are the same age, the seniority is really really different.
When Duanyue heard this, she immediately refused. "Duanyue thanked the queen for her kindness, but this is absolutely impossible. I am a generation behind the little prince of Yucheng, and I am afraid that it will not be good to say it. ”
"The county lord's thoughts are also reasonable," Shu Concubine, who was nesting in the corner, suddenly spoke. As soon as she spoke, everyone's eyes were drawn to her. "The queen mother, the concubine thinks that Xiao Eleven is good, he is a smart and sensible child. In a few years, I will get married, and I will be in peace with the world. ”
Duanyue's complexion couldn't hold anymore. Let's not mention that Meng Yucheng is a round younger than Duanyue, and now the eleventh prince mentioned by Concubine Shu has just reached the year of dancing spoons, and the last time Duanyue saw him was just a child dragging his nose and playing around, he actually wanted to marry him himself, isn't this talking stupid?
"Duanyue thanked all the mothers for their kindness, but the marriage is about the life of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Although I am bereavement, it is still up to my brother to decide the marriage. I'm really sorry for all the girls. Duanyue took a deep breath and said all the words in his heart in a basket, so he pushed the matter on the wind first.
Concubine Shu and the queen looked at each other, and they were surprisingly harmonious. The queen thought for a moment and smiled awkwardly. "Although the eleventh year is still young, isn't it good for the people to say? The female junior holds the gold brick, isn't Prince Mu three years younger than the princess! ”
Seeing that the queen was still so unrelenting, Duanyue really had no choice. She had a straight face, and she didn't give the queen and others a good tone at all. "How can there be a reason that if the elder brother does not start a family, the younger sister will start a family first. Duanyue's own marriage, I have my own number, don't bother you to worry! ”
"Oh Shi'an, don't be angry." The queen mother softened her voice, and her eyes swept coldly over the queen. "You are Shen Changfeng's orphan daughter, and the mourning family naturally cares about you when she thinks of your father's merits. Since you don't want to marry, no one can force you, can you? ”
Duanyue nodded, forcibly suppressed the irritation in her heart, and kept in mind the admonition of "don't cause trouble", not to mention that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person, but the queen mother and queen. Even if Duanyue has the old emperor's "death-free gold medal", he can only avoid one death, and he will not die twice if he collides with the two.
"I know that all the ladies care about me, and Duanyue has a heart." She raised her eyes and scanned the people sitting around her. "But Duanyue still hasn't figured it out, why did Niangniang order Duanyue to enter the palace?"
When everyone heard her question, their faces froze, and they didn't say a word in an embarrassed moment, and they could hear it clearly even when they dropped a needle. Duanyue looked at the dodging eyes of the Queen Mother, and immediately understood that this was just a Hongmen banquet. Looking around at everyone on the side, everyone had the same expression. She was even more convinced of her thoughts.
"This ......" the queen turned her eyes to the queen mother for help, and hesitated for a moment. Spring is about to pass, the palace invited a group of women, together to enjoy the flowers and garden, I wonder if the lord of Shi'an can enjoy a face? ”
At first glance, it was a temporary reason, but Duanyue didn't pierce her, but agreed with a smile. "The queen mother invited, how dare Duanyue refuse." She nodded slightly at the Queen.
"That's good," the queen pinched her handkerchief and secretly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. "Then ladies and ladies will go to the Imperial Garden with the main palace."
The Queen Mother softened her forehead and reluctantly showed a smile. "When the mourners are old, they will no longer play with you young people. Why don't you go to the Imperial Garden, there is nothing to see in this Furong Hall of the Mourning Family! ”
All the women stood up calmly and bowed to the queen mother, and then dared to go outside. Seeing that the queen wanted to reach out to hold her, Duanyue immediately subconsciously dodged to the side, but her hand was tightly held by one person. Duanyue was surprised, and looked at the owner of the hand, it turned out to be Qin Yang standing beside him.
"Is that you?" Duanyue half-narrowed her eyes and looked at Qin Yang with a little vigilance. However, Qin Yang held Duanyue's hand tightly, making it difficult for her to pull it out.
Qin Yang looked ahead, not daring to turn his gaze at all. She deliberately lowered her voice and said to Duanyue. "The Queen Mother is watching us."
Duanyue bit her red lips, and she squinted her eyes just in time to see the queen staring at the two of them, revealing a subtle look in her eyes. Qin Yang took Duanyue by the hand, forced a smile, and took advantage of the chaos of the crowd to take Duanyue to a sparsely populated place with a turn, and then let go of his hand.
"Whew!" Qin Yang leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her head to look at Duanyue worriedly. "This is a Hongmen feast, you better hurry up and leave, don't stay here."
"What do you mean by that?" Duanyue took half a step back, subconsciously distancing herself from Qin Yang.
Qin Yang pursed her lips, she stared at the ground wrizzledly and hesitated for a while, but she couldn't help but speak.
"Then I tell you, you can't tell anyone."
