Chapter 20 Prince Xuanyuan Che
On the opposite side of Hongxiu Fang, on the second floor of Zuixiao Pavilion, the window of a private room facing Hongxiu Fang is ajar, and several pairs of eyes inside take in the scene just now.
"This little girl is interesting", one of the men in Xuanyi smiled, his eyes were locked tightly on Yunhuang, when he saw her appearance, a trace of doubt flashed on Ruyu's face, only to think that she was familiar, where had she seen it, for a long time, he suddenly realized: "She is the granddaughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo, the lord of Yunhuang?" Didn't you go to Jiangnan, why did you come to the capital?"
The person who spoke was none other than the current prince Xuanyuan Che.
Today, he and a few friends came to Zuixiao Pavilion to taste tea, originally blowing a cool breeze, drinking tea and laughing, and when the opposite side was noisy, it attracted their attention, and then they paid attention.
"Is it Yunhuang?" Beside him, the crown princess was surprised, her eyes stopped on Yunhuang, looked carefully, turned her head to her subordinates and ordered: "Quick, invite them to come up and sit down", and then looked at Xiao Shi'an: "Do you remember her?" We played together when we were younger."
Xiao Shi'an on the side was stunned for a moment, and then showed a graceful smile: "Remember", she looked at Yunhuang below, her eyes flashing with an unknown light.
The left minister, who was sitting in a corner, lowered his head and tasted tea, but did not speak.
Xuanbei, as early as when he heard the movement on the other side, he couldn't help but run to watch, and at this time, he had just come back from watching a good show, his eyes were full of excitement, but he pretended to pat his chest and said: "This Miss Sun has such a big temper, she scared me to death."
When Xuanyuan Che heard this, he glanced at Xuanbei and said with a smile: "What Xuangongzi said is that this Sun girl is indeed arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and Yunhuang is not weak.
Xuanbei has been following Zuo Xiang, the origin is unknown, and his martial arts are even more unfathomable.
Everyone in the world is ugly and shameless, and he is not good at doing things, how do you know, to be able to be a prime minister at a young age, it is by no means idle, not to mention, he is still an apprentice of Master Wuji, think about it, the people around him are not ordinary people.
Xuanyuan Che was already easy-going, so in the face of Xuanbei, he still talked and laughed freely, and did not regard him as a subordinate.
A few people were chatting, Yunhuang and Li Wanping came up and introduced each other.
Xuanyuan Che looked Yunhuang up and down, nodded with satisfaction, it seems that she is living well in Jiangnan, the queen mother has been thinking about her, when I see her today, it is good to look back to see the queen mother, and I can't help asking: "Is everything okay with the marquis of Zhenguo?" ”
"Everything is fine, Prince Xie cares", Yun Huang looked at the prince in front of him, his face was like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the color was like the flower of spring dawn, his temples were like a knife, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, a pair of deep eyes, no waves but with a shallow smile, just looking at you quietly, like a spring breeze, the whole body is full of a kind of soothing leisure, with a refreshing elegance, the whole body is like a Lanzhi jade tree, and the temperament is warm and handsome.
Yun Huang said in his heart, the rumors are indeed true, he looks like a man with a bright moon and a sunny sky.
This Xuanyuan Che was born to the queen, gentle temperament, modest and modest, the folk reputation is excellent, last year married Zhao Yuqing, the daughter of the household Shangshu, as a concubine, a talented woman, and it was a good story for a while. Now the eldest prince guards the frontier, the second prince is not involved in partisan disputes, the emperor favors Xiao Guifei, and the fourth prince Yu is in the limelight, vaguely overshadowing the crown prince.
Looking at this situation, it seems that the prince has the intention to befriend Zuo Xiang and come to compete with King Yu.
After replying, Yunhuang's eyes fell on the man sitting in the corner, drinking tea alone.
He was dressed in white, with a silver mask on his face, which covered what should have been a red mark, and his eyes looked out the window coldly, as if sensing her gaze, he turned his head and glanced at her, as if he didn't know.
Behind him, Xuanbei caught her gaze, his mouth curled, revealing two rows of white teeth.
Yunhuang frowned and ignored it.
The crown princess has a gentle temperament, and when she was not out of the cabinet earlier, she liked Jimowan, and often ran to the Li Mansion to stick to Jimowan, and when she saw Yunhuang, she took her hand and greeted her, and she was very emotional. At this time, seeing their indifferent expressions, he thought that they didn't know each other, so he kindly introduced: "Yunhuang, this is Lord Zuo Xiang."
Yun Huang bowed his head and bowed to him, Zuo Xiang nodded, his expression was faint, but it was Xuanbei, and he smiled at her again: "My name is Xuanbei, hello Miss Yun."
When the people present heard this title, they were all stunned, but when Xuanbei didn't know Yunhuang, and heard them shouting, they thought that Yunhuang's surname was Yunminghuang, and it was certainly called this.
Li Wanping immediately frowned and said: "This son, Yunhuang's surname is Li, not Yun's."
On the contrary, it was Yun Huang, when he heard the title of "Yun Girl", he raised his eyes and looked at Xuanbei a few more times, and it was rare, and he smiled at him: "It's okay, left and right are just a title, and you can call the son whatever you want."
In an instant, Xuanbei's heart was full of joy, haha, his sycophant was in place, and the future housewife, who had always been cold, actually smiled at him, this is an exciting moment, and you must magnify and celebrate when you go back.
The crown princess smiled lightly, she took Yun Huang's hand, and said: "The word Yun Huang, but the father gave it himself, it is a good name, but there is one point, you are a skin monkey, you look like a big girl, and as the county lord, why are you still the same as when you were a child, you offend people when you come?" The tone seemed reproachful, but it was full of concern.
Yunhuang lowered his head and squeaked.
When the Marquis of Zhenguo handed over the military power, it coincided with her birth, and the emperor was happy, gave the name Yunhuang, and was named the county lord.
If it weren't for the crown princess to mention it, she would have forgotten about this stubble, it turned out that she still had the identity of the county lord to use, because she was still young at that time, and she had been in Jiangnan for so many years, others had long forgotten it, and no one mentioned it again, but the prince and the princess were different, they were members of the royal family, and the most important status level in the palace naturally refused to forget.
Yunhuang's eyes are circulating, although the county lord is just a title, and has no real power. But in this hierarchical ancient times, the official level crushed people to death, this point, she can make good use of it in the future, just thinking about it, a voice came.
"I thought that Wanping was already a rare beauty in the capital, but I didn't expect the lord of Yunhuang to look even more symbolic, and really, the demeanor of the concubine is different", a woman in purple walked over and smiled at Yunhuang.
Yunhuang looked over and saw that she had a sweet appearance, impeccable makeup on her face, ice muscles and jade skin, eyebrows like green feathers, teeth like shellfish, waist like a bundle of vegetarians, and a light purple dress with a soft texture, showing her graceful posture.
The person who spoke was Xiao Shi'an, the first beauty in the capital, and she really lived up to her reputation.
What she said sounded like she was praising Yunhuang, her tone was not as casual as other people, and her address was even more rigorous, so that people couldn't make mistakes, but the words pointed out that Yunhuang overshadowed the limelight of other girls in the Li Mansion as soon as she came, and she was suspected of sowing discord, so it was clear that she was saying it to Li Wanping.
Li Wanping is not stupid, she doesn't like Xiao Shi'an, she smiled when she heard it, and pulled Yunhuang's arm without minding, and said: "That's natural, Yunhuang is good-looking, and the person is good, I will also follow the light", the pride jumped on her face, and it sounded like she was being praised herself.
The crown princess took a sip of tea, and seemed to say to Xiao Shi'an inadvertently: "You yourself are the number one beauty in the capital, why do you still praise the beauty of others, don't you see Yunhuang's beauty, I'm afraid that she will beat you in the future?" ”。
Xiao Shi'an was stunned, she didn't expect the princess to help and speak so directly.
She chuckled in her heart, but she still maintained a soft smile on her face, and she was not annoyed, she turned her head to look at Xuanyuan Che, and pouted: "Brother Prince, you see that my sister is making fun of me again, you have to make decisions for me."
The crown princess's face froze, and her tone suddenly became cold: "When did this palace make fun of you?" ”
Seeing that the atmosphere became stiff, Zuo Xiang, who had not spoken all this time, put down the teacup in his hand at this time, and said in a timely manner: "I received news yesterday that there will be a feast in the eighth palace at the beginning of next month, but you want to choose a concubine for King Yu?" ”。
Changed the subject in an instant.
"That's true, but I don't know which minister's daughter can be favored", Xuanyuan Che bowed, but remembered this incident, he looked at Yunhuang with a pair of dark eyes, and said: "The queen mother has mentioned you many times, I miss you very much, I will go to the palace to see her when I have time", his voice was gentle, and a spring breeze blew by.
Yun Huang glanced at Zuo Xiang without a trace and nodded.
The crown princess chuckled: "The invitation of the Li Mansion should arrive soon, and the families of all officials above the third rank can participate, Yunhuang, you have been away from the capital for a long time, and you will also go to join in the fun, and then you will go to the feast with the palace?" ”。
A feast in the palace? This is a good opportunity to meet Xiao Guifei, who hurt her mother a lot.
An imperceptible glimmer flashed in Yunhuang's eyes, like a thin ray of light flashing on the blade.
She spoke, and her tone was determined: "Okay, I will definitely participate when the time comes."
