Chapter Twenty-Eight: Honorable Princes
Everyone waited and waited, looked and searched, and saw that they could no longer drag it out, so they had to come out first.
At such a banquet, Duanmu Qingchen has disappeared more than once, most of them went to the venue first, pretending to be the son of another family to hook up with an ignorant girl.
They guessed half right, Duanmu Qingchen did sneak into the venue first, and then slipped away.
Everyone is no longer looking for Duanmu Qingchen, even the eunuchs are very calm, and they understand the temperament of the crown prince Duanmu Qingchen.
"Brother Sanhuang, come on. Duanmu Yaxin looked at Duanmu Jinhong with a little excitement, "Brother Prince must have slipped away to the venue first, he was the worst." ”
The third prince, Duanmu Jinhong's slender eyebrows have been twisted, and he doesn't like this kind of occasion.
"Brother Prince likes to play the game of teasing Miss Commoner, hey......" Duanmu Ruifeng shook his head again and again.
"Brother Prince is like this every time, and he doesn't take us with him when he plays. Duanmu Yunkang pursed his lips like a child, he also wanted to feel the taste of pretending to be a civilian, this feeling of hiding his identity was very exciting.
"Brother Prince, how can I bring you?" Duanmu Yaxin said with a determined face, as if she knew her best Brother Prince, "The daughters of those officials, don't they all rush over like flies when they know the identity of Brother Prince? ”
"Huh~~~~" Duanmu Ruifeng's eyes widened and pinched Duanmu Yaxin's pink face, "You are clear again, then you are not afraid that the sons of those families will also come to you with a purpose?
"I'm shameless!" Duanmu Yaxin blushed suddenly, and kicked Duanmu Ruifeng repeatedly, "I'm a princess!
"You're so savage, if you weren't a princess, I don't think any man would dare to ask you!" Duanmu Ruifeng, who was beaten, immediately teased Duanmu Yaxin.
Duanmu Ya's heart was immediately angry.
"Don't make a fuss. Duanmu Jinhong pulled away Duanmu Rui and Duanmu Yaxin, and looked at everyone, "Everyone be calm tonight, even if others have no purpose, in the end, Yaxin was given by his father to the son of a certain important minister in the court, it is better to let Yaxin choose what he likes first." ”
Everyone thinks the same is true. Rather than being given marriage by his father and marrying Yaxin to a father who thinks it is good, but Yaxin doesn't know a strange man, it is better to let his sister pick and choose tonight, if there is something he likes, and then let his father check his character.
Duanmu Jinhong looked at the lively venue in front of him, his eyebrows were even tighter, he didn't like this kind of crowded occasion the most, he loved purity, looking at those men and women with blank eyes, one by one full of desire, he was bored.
This troublesome prince always upsets him. If Duanmu Qingchen is here, he will definitely jump around in front of him again: If you can't get used to me, what can you do with me? I am the prince, you are not the prince~~~
"Let's go. Duanmu Jinhong walked forward with a sullen stomach, everyone smiled secretly, and walked to the venue with him.
From here, there is a stone bridge of intricately carved white marble called Lanyue Bridge. Under the moonlight, the white marble glows with white jade light, which is really like the fairy bridge of the Moon Palace. If the mountain fog rises during the day, this white jade bridge will become looming in the misty morning mist.
This bridge in a fairyland is called the noble status of His Highness.
The honorable princes walked onto the Lanyue Bridge and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the venue.
Knowing that His Highness had come from here, he was already waiting by the bridge, just to stand in the first row, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the other Royal Highness Princesses could see their faces clearly and leave a slight impression in their eyes.
Duanmu Jinhong and them were like stars in the night sky, and they walked onto the stone bridge in the eyes of everyone looking up, and immediately, the crowd under the stone bridge surged, and everyone flocked to the bottom of the stone bridge and knelt down in unison.
"Meet Your Highnesses and Princesses—" Lang Lang's voice echoed through the entire venue.
The fat Buddha, who was busy eating pastries from afar, looked here and smiled, not forgetting to hide more pastries in the sleeves of the little lettuce, and saw that the eunuch who was in charge of placing the pastries on the side looked disgusted, and his expression seemed to say: Where did the countrymen come from, they can actually come to this lantern banquet.
On the Lanyue Bridge, the third prince Duanmu Jinhong is also wearing a white robe embroidered with gold dragon patterns, the jade tree is in the wind, and the instrument is lofty. The clean white color is more and more called his cold and lonely special temperament, like an immortal monarch in the cold moon, disdainful of the world.
Behind him are the fifth prince Duanmu Ruifeng and the sixth prince Duanmu Yankang, and of course, there is another protagonist today: the seventh princess Duanmu Yaxin.
Duanmu Yaxin is dressed up today and becomes the most beautiful girl tonight. She hid behind the royal brothers with a red face, but there was excitement and excitement in her eyes.
When she came, her mother had already told her that although she chose a good husband, she was not in a hurry, because she didn't know people and faces, so she asked her to choose a few more, and then asked her father to check her character before making a decision.
Duanmu Ya's heart was beating so hard that she couldn't breathe at this time, and she was shy and happy at the thought of letting herself choose a few more wishful teenagers.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was specially organized by her father and the crown prince and brother. She was far happier than her two sisters. The two imperial sisters did not have the right to choose to marry friends, but she could be here, let her choose among the sons of this family, and Emperor Cheng's favor for her can be seen.
She secretly glanced at Lanyue Bridge Xiaoxiao, all the teenagers hung their heads, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, but even so, she felt that she was the happiest girl in the world at the moment, and what girl in the world could have such supreme rights as her, and the young talents in the whole capital were at her disposal?
Thinking of this, although she was always a little shy, she still raised her chin and looked down proudly at the sons of the families under the bridge.
Also as happy as her are the Duanmu Ruifeng brothers, they are stained with the light of the prince's brother and the seventh sister today, and they can choose concubines here. Moreover, although the seventh sister can choose a few more, in the end, she can only set one.
And they, no matter how many they choose, there is no problem, this is the privilege of the men of the Qianchao. Three wives and four concubines, a dozen girls in the room, there are lovers outside sweetly, and occasionally go to the Qinglou to smell the fragrance of wild flowers.
They are romantic, and they are also romantic, and they are justifiable, because: people are not romantic.
The most unhappy of their group should be Duanmu Jinhong, because Duanmu Qingchen disappeared again and threw everything in front of him to him. This lantern festival is for him and the seventh sister, but he is so cynical, doesn't he take them and other princes in his eyes?
Hmph! That scourge prince is this virtue. At this moment, Duanmu Qingchen still did not appear, and Duanmu Jinhong knew that he would not appear again. Depending on the situation, it shouldn't be pretending to be the son of a family to flirt with the official lady, it is estimated that she sneaked down the mountain and didn't know where she went.
In this palace, the person who knows Duanmu Qingchen best is actually him: Duanmu Jinhong.
