Chapter 99: The Man This King Doesn't Know
Murong Yan - a man she rescued by accident a year ago.
At that time, he was seriously injured, the high-grade Yunjin he was wearing was already stained with blood, and there was a large group of black-clothed people chasing and killing behind him. But all this did not affect the feeling he left her when he first met, slender thick eyebrows, obsidian-like shining eyes, high nose bridge, thin lips, all showed people his handsome face like a crown of jade, but what made her feel the most was not here, but his innate temperament, which made people feel a kind of gentleness and warmth like a spring breeze when they saw it, even if his situation at that time was extremely miserable.
It's strange that she has never been nosy, and she is the kind of gossip that will get involved in conspiracies and fights if she doesn't get it right, but that time, she still saved him from that group of people.
I don't know if it's his life or hers, as soon as he escapes from the pursuit, he completely faints, so that she has to find a way for him to heal his injuries and take care of him for a whole day.
But the first thing he said to her when he woke up was to question her coldly, asking her who had sent her to do the wrongdoing, and she almost couldn't resist stabbing him againβhow dare the people she had worked so hard to save him suspect that her purpose was not pure? If she was really a villain, could he still lie there so well!
Later, he probably figured this out, so he accepted the previous posture and regained the warm and elegant feeling he had when he first met.
That time she really sent the Buddha to the west, hiding him secretly in a courtyard in the capital without telling the old lady, as if he was cheating with someone to go out every day to see his injury, about ten days and half a month, his injury gradually improved, and then he resigned from her.
In fact, she really didn't expect him to repay her, and saving him was just a gesture after she happened to be pleasing to the eye, but she didn't expect that this man not only kept saying that he wanted to repay her, but also that way of repaying almost scared her to death!
Pledge in person?
Does he think he is a woman?
Well, in fact, his exact words were that he would come back and marry her one day.
At that time, she really couldn't cry or laugh, but seeing that she didn't want to, he didn't force it anymore.
After more than a year of separation, she never saw him again, and she didn't take that incident to heart, but she didn't expect to see him at Emperor Jing's birthday banquet today. And his identity made her even more stunned - although she had already guessed that this person was either rich or noble, she never thought that he was actually the rumored Prince of Qisheng!
"Ahem......" The man next to her coughed softly, pulling her wandering thoughts back.
That Murong Yan had already closed his gaze, and his faint expression seemed to have happened to nothing, making people think that his momentary astonishment was just his own illusion.
Narrowing her eyes, she smiled meaninglessly: "Didn't the prince misunderstand something?" I, a little woman who has lived in the boudoir for a long time, how can I know the dignified Prince Qisheng? β
"Misunderstanding?" Jun Luohan raised his eyebrows with a smile, but the depths of his phoenix eyes were cold.
Where did so many misunderstandings come from?
Although he didn't know how they met, he would never be mistaken, Murong Yan's eyes staring at her were too complicated, stunned, surprised, regretful, and regretful...... There are also some things that even he can't understand, this kind of feelings are mixed together, how can it be that a person who meets for the first time should have?
But when it came to her mouth, everything became a misunderstanding!
"I didn't expect the princess to be amazing, but her communication skills are good, first Rong Heng, and then Prince Qisheng, how many men are hidden in the dark that the king doesn't know?"
What is this called!
Su Ziran's face changed, and he turned his head to stare at him, squinted, and the smile on the corner of his mouth turned cold: "Isn't it amazing?" In that case, why should the prince bother to pay attention to who I associate with? Anyway, a woman like me who is not amazing-looking, General Rong and Prince Qisheng must not be able to look down on it, so the prince doesn't have to worry about it at all. β
The man's eyes flashed, his thin lips pursed slightly, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he slowly moved his eyes away and didn't speak again.
"The emperor drove to ......"
With the screaming of the little eunuch at the entrance of the palace, Emperor Jing, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, entered the palace with the enchanting and colorful concubines, and stepped on the top platform of the Zhenghe Hall step by step.
Everyone visited the shrine, and the envoys also presented gifts and words of congratulations. The singing and dancing performances also began again, with staggered planning and joy for guests and hosts.
Emperor Jing looked at the people below with satisfaction, and there was a little smile in his majestic face.
At the end of the dance, one of the Tianzhu envoys drank too much, got up slowly, and said with a smile to Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty, although the dance music performed by these dancing girls is good, it is always not as good as the phoenix dance of Princess Rui for nine days. I don't know if we have the honor to be able to see Princess Rui again? β
In just a few words, the eyes of everyone in the hall were drawn, even those who had not seen Su Ziran in Qisheng and Mo Yuan followed everyone's line of sight.
It was at this time that many people noticed that there was another woman sitting in the seat of King Rui, and the expression on her face couldn't help but become a little subtle.
Although many of them brought the concubines from the palace today, after all, it was rare for Emperor Jing to make such a will, and it was not easy for him to come to the palace to see the world, so he naturally didn't want to miss it. But King Rui is different, although there are not a few women in the backyard of King Rui's mansion, King Rui is newly married Yan'er, and he is famous for his affection with the princess, what does it mean to bring such a beautiful woman to come today?
Could it be that in such a short period of time, Princess Rui has already fallen out of favor?
But it's no wonder that although Princess Rui is talented, what men value most should be women's appearance, right?
The eyes of everyone looking at her gradually changed, some sympathized and pity, some gloated, and some simply watched the show......
Su Ziran didn't care about this, but she really couldn't ignore Su Liuyue's gaze, full of resentment and sarcasm, as if she wanted to break her body into thousands of pieces in front of everyone.
Emperor Jing's eyes turned deep, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Princess Rui, would you like to perform again today?" β
Su Ziran slowly stood up, her eyes fluttered, and she smiled slightly: "Father, it's not that the courtiers and daughters-in-law are unwilling, it's just that the courtiers and daughters-in-law are already poor in donkey skills, and they can only do so little things, and they are embarrassed to take them out and show them ugly." However, the courtiers and daughters-in-law can recommend one person to their father, which will surely satisfy the father and the envoys. β
"Oh?" Emperor Jing nodded slightly, as if he was still a little surprised, "Who is this person?" β
"It's her......" Su Ziran raised his hand, and the moon-white water sleeves rippled gently, "This is a lady brought by the prince today, her name is Ni Shang, she has been proficient in music and dance since she was a child, and today she can also feast the eyes of all envoys and adults." β
Everyone was surprised, and they really couldn't understand how Princess Rui would recommend her rival to appear.
If you want to say that Princess Rui is jealous, but in fact, this lady doesn't know anything, it's a little unreasonable, after all, this is in front of Emperor Jing, and she won't be full of lies and say that Ni Shang is proficient in music and dance and committed the crime of bullying the king, right? But to say that she is sincerely recommended, it is even more strange, how can someone let her rival in love be in the limelight?
Nishang was even more stunned, she never thought that this woman would say this. But she just thought about it for a moment and felt that Su Ziran's move must be to see him make a fool of himself, but this woman must not know, in fact, she is indeed proficient in music and dance, right?
Then don't blame her for stealing the limelight today!
Jun Luohan's phoenix eyes swept her deeply, and his slender knuckles struck on the desk in front of him.
Ignoring everyone's inquiring gazes, Su Ziran raised her lips and waved respectfully towards Emperor Jing: "I don't know what my father thinks?" β
Emperor Jing pondered for a moment and nodded: "Just according to what Princess Rui said." β
The melodious music sounded, and in the center of the main hall, a woman in a brocade dress only made a few spinning movements, and in an instant, there seemed to be thousands of customs circulating.
Today's dress is dressed up to enter the palace, and under the reflection of various colored glazed agate in the Zhenghe Palace, the beautiful face is more vivid and sultry.
The water sleeves are lightly swayed, the shadow is fluttering, the steps are graceful, soft as boneless, and every smile is accompanied by a beautiful and elegant dance.
The slender jade fingers are slightly condensed, spinning, jumping, the clothes are flying, the hair is dancing, and the whole person is like a colorful butterfly flapping its wings and fluttering, interpreting the beauty of the heart.
After the song was finished, everyone praised it one after another.
Ni Shang turned her head sideways with a smile, looked at Su Ziran, and a provocative and proud smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Emperor Jing nodded: "Good dancing." Song Lian, reward ......"
"Yes." Song Lian nodded respectfully.
Emperor Jing looked at the banquet of the Tianzhu envoy with a smile and a deep voice: "What does the envoy think?" β
I thought that the person would at least give Ni Sheng some face, but who knew that most of these people were more simple and sincere, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, although this lady's dancing posture is good, in our eyes, it is less than one-tenth of Princess Rui's nine days of phoenix dance!" β
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched slightly.
What do you say...... It's too straightforward, isn't it......
People who have not watched the Phoenix Dance for nine days can't help but feel that he is exaggerating, after all, today's dance is already wonderful; But those who have seen it feel that he is not unreasonable, after all, in that dance of the world, I am afraid that they will never see anyone who can stand out in their lives.
The smile on Ni Shang's face suddenly froze, her face turned from blue to purple, and she wrung the handkerchief in her hand angrily, if it weren't for the fact that this person was a border envoy, she would definitely suspect that this was Su Ziran's special childcare to insult her!
Emperor Jing said "En" meaninglessly, and then looked at Su Ziran again: "Princess Rui, the person you recommended doesn't seem to be able to satisfy the envoy......
Su Ziran helplessly helped his forehead, how could this Tianzhu envoy be so serious?
In good conscience, Ni Shang's dance is not bad, do they have to ask her to put on her armor and go into battle herself? But the dance clothes and gold yarn didn't prepare anything, but how did she dance!
