Chapter 257: The Heroine's Sister (3)
Yao Huang replied in a low voice: "My father and eldest brother asked her to take care of me. ”
"Take care of you? It's almost as good as stealing the limelight from you. Ling Xuefen scoffed.
Yao Huang smiled: "I can't let her steal my limelight, it's best to let everyone's eyes focus on her." ”
Ling Xuefen smiled knowingly: "You want her to help you prevent disasters!" ”
"Hehe, I don't care about the jealousy of women, I hope that her biggest prince will take a fancy to her."
"You don't want to marry the eldest prince?"
"You want to marry into the royal family?"
Ling Xuefen shook her head: "Marrying into the royal surface scenery, the inner suffering is only known to oneself and the Tao." I don't want to be like my aunt. ”
Ling Xuefen's aunt is a concubine, and Ling Xuefen, who is close to her own aunt, understands the bitterness of her aunt on the surface.
The two of them were chatting in a low voice in front, Yao Chulan walked patiently behind the two, and while enjoying the surrounding scenery, she secretly laughed at the girls in the garden: this one's makeup is too thick, that one's clothes are ugly, this one has a red flower on his head like a matchmaker, and that one laughs so fakely......
The girls who have a relationship with Yao Huang and Ling Xuefen are not good, and the two of them greet many people along the way, but Yao Chulan has almost no acquaintances, and it seems more and more incompatible with these daughters.
"That woman is the eldest lady of the Town King's Mansion, the princess of the Cloud Kingdom?" A woman asked in a whisper.
"Yes! You look at her haughty appearance, she doesn't see us at all. Another lady whispered.
"Who called a woman a princess of a country? The status is high! Another daughter whispered.
"Cut! High status? I know that this woman is willing to fall into depour, and she actually mingles with lowly peddlers and pawns. "Another humane.
"Really?" Some people don't believe it.
"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes."
"I think I've heard about it, too. The eldest lady of the town's royal mansion disguised herself as a man and often haunted the market. ”
"yes. I remembered. My cousin once saw Miss Yao dressed as a man in Baihualou. A girl dressed in red said.
"What kind of place is Baihualou?" Many ladies asked for some reason.
The girl in red blushed, and said in a snort: "Baihualou is, it's Qinglou!" ”
"What?" All the daughters exclaimed in unison, and their faces turned red one by one.
"This Miss Yao is too bold!" A young lady gasped.
"She's done even more outrageous things! That day, the Oiran of Baihualou had three exam questions, in order to choose the guest to enter the curtain, and this Miss Yao also went to join in the fun, passed three levels in a row, and became the guest of the Oiran. It made a dry man angry. The girl in red said.
"When I heard you say that, I remembered, too. My cousin also participated in the selection of the Oiran, and I heard that a song of begonia that day amazed the audience and amazed all the talented people. A girl in a pale yellow shirt said.
"I heard that the eldest prince also went that day, and he praised the words of Begonia and wanted to bring his author under his command." The brother of the girl in the green dress is the companion of the eldest prince, and he is very well-informed.
"Don't the eldest prince know the identity of Miss Yao?"
"I don't know what to do!" The girl in green said hesitantly. With the power of the eldest prince, the identity of Miss Yao should be found out, right?
Just as the young lady's daughters were talking about Yao Chulan's gossip, a palace maid beside the queen came out of the palace and announced the queen's topic of teaching everyone: a poem with peach blossoms as the theme. The top three will be rewarded by the queen.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet is an opportunity for the daughters of all families to show their talents. can be appreciated by the queen, and the reputation of the daughters can also be improved. To add bargaining chips to their search for their in-laws, many young ladies who can write poetry have been gearing up and preparing to show their talents in front of the queen.
"You're not participating?" Ling Xuefen asked Yao Huang.
Yao Huang said: "If I don't have the talent to make poetry, I won't be ugly." You do it. ”
Ling Xuefen nodded, asked the little palace maid for a pen and paper, and started to write poems with her heart. Yao Huang stepped aside, picked up a cup of tea, and leisurely enjoyed the scenery in the garden while sipping tea. The peach blossoms in the garden are in full bloom, like the clouds dyed red by the morning sun, dreamy and beautiful, no wonder the queen will use the peach blossom as the theme to let the daughters make poems.
"The peach blossoms bloom in the East Garden, smiling and praising the day. Occasionally, the spring breeze is glorious, and this sunny quality is born. There is no beauty, but I am afraid that the flowers are not real. "There are a lot of poems about peach blossoms in Yao Huang's memory, but unfortunately he can't write them, otherwise he will be suspected of the identity of Yao Chulan, a traverser. She didn't want to have a "fellow villager with tears in her eyes" with Yao Chulan.
Yao Huang looked into the crowd and saw that her cheap sister was proudly handing over the well-written work to the palace maid. Yao Huang snorted slightly, not knowing which celebrity's poems Yao Chulan had stolen.
After a pillar of incense, all the daughters have finished the poem. After another pillar of incense, the palace maid announced the results of the competition, and Yao Chulan really won the first place.
"Peach blossom nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, peach blossom fairy under peach blossom nunnery. The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms for wine money. When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers. Half-awake and half-drunk, day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year. I hope that the old man will die in the wine room, and he will not bow in front of the carriage and horse. The car dust and horses are full of fun for the rich, and the wine cup is rich in flowers. If you compare the rich with the poor, one on the flat earth and the other in the sky. If the poor are compared to chariots and horses, he has to drive me to be idle. Others laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it. I don't see the tomb of Wuling heroes, and there are no flowers and no wine hoeing fields. ”
As the palace maid read out the poem written by Yao Chulan, although everyone was jealous, they had to admire, only Yao Huang covered his forehead. Where did you come from such frivolity to see through the red dust, and the loneliness that you have never encountered? Even if you write "The face of the person doesn't know where to go, the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze", it is more in line with your side than Tang Yin's poem!
"Sister, who are the five heroes of Wuling? Where are their graves? Yao Huang made an ignorant expression and "asked" Yao Chulan.
Yao Chulan's smile froze when she heard this: how could she explain the five emperors of the Han Dynasty to this person in the world? There is no Han Dynasty in this world!
"Wuling heroes, I made it up." Yao Chulan said, "Don't talk about this, this is the gold phoenix hairpin that the queen awarded me, beautiful, right?" I've got it for you! ”
"Sister Xie Lu, Xie Xie!" Yao Huang took the phoenix hairpin with a smile, don't be in vain, if you don't have money in the future, you can still exchange money.
Yao Chulan's "poetic talent" won the favor of some pretentious daughters, who discussed poetry around her and had her own circle of friends. Yao Huang was talking to Ling Xuefen without a match, and his divine sense was attached to the palace maid who was reciting the poem, and followed her all the way out of the imperial garden to a hidden pavilion.
"Please the eldest prince, please the second prince." The maid of the palace saluted and presented the poems of the young ladies.
"Others laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at others for not being able to see through it! Good poetry! Li Qingquan, the companion of the second prince Bai Hongfei, couldn't help but high-five, "I didn't expect there to be such a talented person in the boudoir." It's a pity, if it's a man, I'll make friends with him. ”
"Big brother, what are you laughing at?" Bai Hongfei asked the eldest prince Bai Hongyu curiously.
"Nothing." Bai Hongyu restrained his smile, and his expression indifferently commented on the merits of many poems with others. In fact, the villain in his heart was so excited that he turned his head, found it, found the person!
Yao Huang smiled and retracted his senses, blinked his eyes, and responded to Ling Xuefen's question.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet is over, and Miss Yao's reputation for her talent has also spread, Yao Wentian was happy and waited for the emperor to marry his second daughter, but what he was waiting for was the emperor's opinion that he wanted to change people.
"Yu'er is very stubborn, he is not willing to marry any other woman except your eldest daughter. Even your second daughter won't marry. The emperor sighed and said, his son is too stubborn, and he is very embarrassed to be a father.
"Ke Lan'er is the daughter of the Yun Kingdom, and she has a Zhengjun." Yao Wentian said in embarrassment. The eldest prince is very good, he is very happy that the eldest prince can be his son-in-law, but it is impossible for him to be the eldest daughter and the eldest prince. Although his second daughter is not as good as the eldest daughter, she is also very good, why doesn't the eldest prince like it?
"Aren't your eldest daughter and second daughter twins? Why don't you let your second daughter inherit Yunguo, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? The Emperor's eyes flashed and he proposed.
"Your Majesty, this law is not appropriate. The upbringing of the two daughters is different, and the youngest daughter has been raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, and she basically bears the burden of a country. Yao Wentian hurriedly dispelled the emperor's idea.
The emperor had long had the idea of annexing Yunguo, how could he let go of such a good opportunity at this time.
"But the eldest emperor has identified your eldest daughter, and I can't help it." The Emperor sighed, "You can't let my son beat a bachelor, can you?" ”
"This ......" Yao Wentian wanted to say "There is no grass at the end of the world", but the emperor's expression of "My son recognizes your eldest daughter, how can you bear to make my son sad" made him stop.
"Aiqing, why don't you let your eldest daughter marry Yu'er?"
"But Lan'er will have to return to Yunguo sooner or later."
"Then let them learn from you and your princess, at most the two of them will work hard and run on both sides."
"Will this wronged the eldest prince?" Yao Wentian asked worriedly.
"It's his own choice, and I can't help it as a father." The emperor sighed, "Although he is the identity of the prince, but your daughter already has a prince, we can't make your family regret the marriage just by relying on our identity." I'm afraid that the emperor of the Yun Kingdom will not agree. ”
Yao Wentian gave a salute: "The emperor is wise!" ”
"As for your second daughter, I will give her the title of county lord to compensate her! There are a lot of excellent children in Kyoto, which one she likes, I will give her a marriage. The emperor used the name of "county lord" to compensate for Yao Huang's reputation, and the marriage between Bai Hongyu and Yao Chulan was decided. Although Yao Wentian felt ashamed of Yao Huang, he also had his own calculations, and his little daughter was put aside by him. (To be continued......)
