Chapter 33: Stealing the Princess's Limelight
After Yu Yao burned incense and cleaned her hands, she sat down slowly, her white jade-like hands were on the strings, and with a pluck, the fresh tune spread melodiously, making everyone present feel comfortable physically and mentally when they heard it. Even Yurun had to admit that Yuyao's piano skills were really good.
Suddenly, Yu Yao's wrist moved, and her fingers slid onto the other strings, just now it was still melodious and tactful, like a mountain stream flowing, and in an instant, it seemed that ten thousand streams flowed into the river, from the small freshness at the beginning, it gradually became atmospheric, and then it became more majestic, and the people at the banquet also began to be a little excited when they heard this.
An ethereal flute sound came out from the seat, like a bird singing, and Yu Yao's piano sound was already the current of the great river east at this time. At this moment, everyone seems to be on the island, the beautiful island is very quiet, only the birds are circling and frolicking in the sky, there are no big waves on the sea, just random washing of the delicate sand. The people at the banquet swept away the excitement of the river that was about to merge into the sea, and instead the comfort of facing the sea and the spring flowers stretched out from their hearts to their limbs.
Everyone looked for the flute, and it turned out to be a noble son, but his face was very raw. The man was wearing an indigo auspicious cloud gilt robe, wearing a jade crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, his eyebrows were like wickers, there was a small black mole in the corner of his narrow Danfeng eyes, and his thin red lips were gently attached to the jade flute.
Just when everyone was looking at it, a woman's voice came, "Look, there are so many butterflies!" Now everyone came back to their senses, and saw colorful butterflies surrounding Yu Yao. And soon another man's voice came out, "The second lady of the Yu family seems to have a strange fragrance on her body." When they heard this, everyone who was close to them leaned against the edge of the table and leaned over to sniff it vigorously. And there was more talking.
"Wow, it really smells."
"Could it be that this scent attracts butterflies?"
"This second lady of the Yu family is a good means, not only attracting such a good-looking son's ensemble, but also attracting so many butterflies."
"This second lady of the Yu family is not only good-looking, but also smart."
"Alas, this second lady of the Yu family is really a wonderful person."
Although Yu Yao also wondered why it attracted butterflies, she was very proud when she heard the discussions of the people around her, and thought that this time she would not suppress Yu Run. But she forgot that this was a banquet held by the queen, and it was specially held for Princess Rongle to see. At this time, the queen's face was already very ugly, because she originally planned to let Princess Rongle appear in the finale, but now that Yuyao has made such a play, what is the meaning of Rongle's appearance later? Do you want to be a foil for this woman who doesn't know how to lift up? She deserves it too!
And the young lady and lady on the woman's side slowly turned into jealousy from the initial admiration, because the men opposite changed from surprise to appreciation at the beginning, and then some even showed admiration on their expressions, and those men who looked stupid made the young lady and lady opposite secretly scold the idiot, whether they had never seen a woman in their previous lives.
A good banquet has become a stage for one person, anyway, the other girls will never play again, so they don't want to be foils! Yurun looked at everything in front of him like an outsider, secretly happy in his heart, and laughter overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
Finally, when the song ended, Yu Yao got up and saluted the queen and returned to her seat. The queen didn't even look at her, but asked the man who was playing the flute just now, "Who is this son?" ”
The man stepped forward and saluted and replied respectfully: "Back to the queen's mother, the junior is Murong Hanye, the youngest son of Prince Duan." ”
The queen mother nodded, and said to the queen mother with a smile: "Queen mother, I didn't expect that the emperor's uncle is not only handsome, but also plays the flute so superbly. ”
The Empress Dowager asked Murong Hanye with concern, "Yes." Han Ye, last time your father took you into the palace, you were still a doll, walking on the road staggering, after so many years, you have grown so big. Is Prince Duan good in the fief? ”
Murong Hanye respectfully saluted the Empress Dowager and replied, "If you go back to the Empress Dowager, my father is very good." This time, the younger generation came over, and the father specially asked the younger generation to bring a piece of blood jade to the queen mother, and a piece of cold jade to the queen mother, the father said that the queen mother lost too much blood during childbirth, so the body is cold all the year round, and the blood jade can be put on the body to pass through the limbs and relieve the cold; The father also said that the queen mother can wear this cold jade in the summer, so that the whole body will be cool. After speaking, Murong Hanye took out two exquisite boxes from his sleeve pocket and handed them to the palace maid in the envious eyes around him.
After the palace maid carefully handed over the jade pendant, the queen mother and the queen mother gave Murong Chenye a lot of things respectively. Just when Yu Yao felt that the next reward was herself, the Queen Mother said to the Queen Mother: "Queen, this place is close to Cining Palace, why don't you and Yaqin go to Cining Palace with me to sit down." It's a place for these young people to be bustling with activity. We're always sitting here, and they're panicking. Old Madam Yu nodded yes. The queen mother also smiled and said yes, and turned to Princess Rongle and said, "Rongle, I will accompany your imperial grandmother to go down first, and I will leave it to you here." Rong Le nodded and reassured. The queen mother thought about it for a while, and finally left Mama Zhuang to accompany Princess Rongle, and then followed the queen mother's side to Cining Palace.
Princess Rongle saw that the queen mother and the queen mother had gone away, so she said: "Don't stay here, everyone, this imperial garden is quite big, everyone can walk around." When it's time for lunch, the palace maid will come to inform everyone. After everyone saluted respectfully, they dispersed in groups, and Princess Rongle ran to Yurun's side and pulled her to the largest pavilion.
"Pepe, Iman, look who I've brought here." Princess Rongle said excitedly.
"Hey, this is not the eldest lady of the Yu family." Suyman looked up.
Yurun saw that the eldest granddaughter of the Imperial History Mansion was also there, so she felt a little cramped, her aunt was beaten because of herself just now, and she must have hated herself at this time. But so many people surrounded him and he was embarrassed to leave, so he stepped forward and introduced himself a little shyly: "Hello everyone, I am Yurun, the eldest daughter of the Yushang family. It's a pleasure to meet you all. ”
"Poof." Jiang Peipei seemed to see Yurun's embarrassment and couldn't help laughing, and then said with a big grin: "You don't have to be too restrained, Iman won't be jealous of you." On the contrary, she will thank you. ”
Yurun looked at Jiang Peipei strangely, then at Su Yiman, and then at Princess Rongle, and finally asked, "Why is this?" ”
"Sit and talk, sit and talk." Rong Le drove a few people to sit together.
Jiang Peipei glanced at Su Yiman, and after the two made eye contact, Su Yiman spoke: "Originally, my father and mother had a very good relationship, and my father would tell my mother anything. Once, my aunt came to talk to my father for a long time, and when my aunt left, my father told my mother what had happened. The mother disagreed, and after a few days the aunt came to the mother again, and then the father and mother had a big fight, and the relationship between the father and the mother was not so good from then on. My mother always cried quietly, and her health was sometimes good and bad. Alas, I was really worried about my mother's body. ”
Yurun understood half of it, that is, Su Yiman's parents had a big quarrel because of Su Yuemei, which affected the relationship between the two, but why? Yurun thought for a while and asked, "Miss Su, why did your parents quarrel?" ”
Su Yiman lowered his head and said sadly: "Because my mother married into the Su family for many years and only gave birth to one daughter, my grandmother was not there when I was not born, and my grandfather was embarrassed to open his mouth and asked his aunt to tell his father to let him take a concubine." My father told my mother about it. My mother disagreed, saying that I would see it in a few years, but my father did not object at that time. But after a few days, my aunt came to my mother and said that she had found several houses for my father, and she would be welcomed into the door in a few days, and my mother would have to agree if she didn't agree. After my mother waited for my aunt to leave, she had a big fight with my father. A few days later, my father welcomed several concubines into the door. Since then, my mother has been lukewarm to my father. ”
These Yurun are even stranger, even if you want to take a concubine, why do you have to take a concubine for several days in a row? Su Yiman seemed to know Yurun's doubts, and continued to explain: "At first, I didn't understand why my father wanted to marry concubines in a row, but later I overheard the conversation between my mother and the nurse and learned that some of these people were sent by Ning Wangfu, and some were sent by Sun Wangfu. ”
Yurun finally brightened up, and then said with emotion: "Miss Su, don't you know that my grandmother recently brought a concubine room to my father, and my mother can make a lot of trouble." Sure enough, the governor only set the fire, and the people were not allowed to light the lamp. But this is also out of her control, grandmother said that because my eldest brother has been to the border for many years, there is no news, and it is not good to have only one male brother Yu Hao in the family, so our family should soon have happy events. ”
"Really?" When Suiman heard this, his tightly knit brow finally relaxed.
Yurun patted Su Yiman's hand and said, "It's true." And there is one thing you don't know, that is, my mother began to smell of foxes for some reason, and she invited a lot of doctors, including the doctor from the Tai Hospital, but she didn't see it well. As soon as I sweat, the smell wafts out. Once, my father was vomited. As he spoke, Yurun seemed to smell the stench and covered her mouth with Juanpa.
"Hahahaha" Princess Rongle, Jiang Peipei, and Su Yimanle laughed loudly, and a thin woman stepped forward to cover Jiang Peipei's mouth. The skinny woman looked around and said, "Be careful that the wall has ears." After all, it was Miss Yu who was talking about her mother-in-law, and it wouldn't be good if someone knew about it. Even if you want to pass it on, someone else has to pass it on. The skinny woman winked at Suyman.
"Who is this clever girl?" Yurun asked curiously.
Princess Rongle, Jiang Peipei, and Su Yiman were trying their best to hold back their laughter and didn't bother to explain, and finally the thin girl walked up to Yurun's side and took Yurun's hand and said, "Can I call you Run'er?" You can call me Zhilan, I am the daughter of Mrs. Chen's family. ”
Yurun smiled slightly: "Of course you can." You can all call me Run'er. ”
