Chapter 125: Gu Ziyi's refusal
Once, Ran Yune also thought that with Xianchen's peerless appearance, dancing a song "Hanfeng Exhibition" at this melon tasting banquet would definitely win the attention of Emperor Ji Wu, and from then on, Ran Mansion would have the opportunity to soar to the next level, and now it seems that everything is just his good wish.
The Yao family deliberately blocked the development of Xianchen, and Gu Zichen also intentionally or unintentionally knocked a warning in his ear, no matter how much Ran Yune wanted to climb up, he had to weigh the weight of Ran Xianchen, Gu Zichen and the Yao family, and he had already dispelled the idea of giving Xianchen to Emperor Ji Wu.
The lights of the Taihe Hall are brilliant, but they can't illuminate Ran Yuni's selfish heart, for him, the value of the dust is too low, so insignificant, how could he give back the money for a gift of silver for an insignificant person?
Besides, most of the income in Ran's mansion comes from the rent of the shops and fertile fields that the Yao family married, and Ran Yune's little money is not enough for him to flatter and deal with those who are useful to him.
Ran Yune had a calm face and said impatiently: "If you don't take it, you won't take it, who said that I want to get him back the gift silver?" ”
Not to mention Yao's stepmother, Ran Yune is Xianchen's biological father, however, he is still harsh on Xianchen without any affection.
The opinions of these two people were unified again, and just when they unanimously agreed not to give a penny of silver in the Xianchen Huaran Mansion, the eighth princess's gentle voice sounded again, "Xianchen, the gift you gave Zi Yao is a treasure in the world, Zi Yao will definitely cherish it, you are Zi Yao's friend, and you will have a place to get Zi Yao in the future, please feel free to speak." ”
The words of the eighth princess really slapped Ran Yune and his wife in the face, snapping...... It hurt their hearts, but they couldn't scream.
Ran Yune's scheming eyes fell on Xian Chen, and he laughed at himself and said coldly: "I didn't expect that the old man was too worried, that girl gave the eighth princess a gift early, but I don't know what gift the girl gave to the eighth princess, and the eighth princess was willing to give her her painting as a return gift." ”
At the same time, Emperor Ji Wu was also looking at Xian Chen, Zi Yao didn't like to make friends, her only friend over the years was only Situ Lingxi, and today Zi Yao actually publicly admitted that Xian Chen was her friend in the main hall?
This made Emperor Ji Wu very surprised.
Looking at his three sons in the palace, two of the sons' eyes always fell on Xian Chen's body, and another son sat next to Xian Chen's side and was also courteous to her.
It seems that this Ran Xianchen is not simple!
Emperor Jiwu's eagle-like eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Xianchen sharply but imperceptibly.
Coincidentally.
"Tut-tut......"
Yao pouted and pursed his lips disdainfully, "What kind of gift can she come up with?" It's nothing more than His Royal Highness King Xi sent it for her, your daughter's means are really not simple, she successfully hooked up with His Royal Highness King Xi in less than two months after returning to Kyoto. ”
Yao's words were full of bitterness and meanness, but Ran Yune didn't refute but listened happily, and smiled thoughtfully on his face, as if this was Yao's praise for Xianchen.
Suddenly, Yao remembered what Ran Huaying once said to her, when she was in Cuiyue Lake, Xian Chen took out a necklace of Nanzhu in excellent condition and gave it to the county lord of Lingxi, could it be that Xian Chen also gave the eighth princess a string of Nanzhu necklace in excellent condition?
This Ran Xianchen is so unfilial, even her mother-in-law has never gotten her Nanzhu necklace, and outsiders can easily get it.
Thinking of this, Yao Shi was so excited that a watermelon seed almost clicked in her throat.
cough cough cough ......
She coughed for a long time before she coughed out the watermelon seed, and her face was so red that she couldn't tell where she had rouge on her face and where she hadn't, and the red patch reached the root of her ear.
The sound of Yao's coughing on the top of the main hall sounded suddenly, attracting everyone's attention, and only for a moment, their eyes were attracted by Princess Naya.
Princess Naya carried her painting and came to Gu Ziyi with joy, her smart eyes winked at Gu Ziyi, "Brother Ziyi, this painting is for you." ”
Gu Ziyi got up expressionlessly, it seemed that he was going to accept the painting in Princess Ya's hand, Princess Naya couldn't hide the joy in her heart, and proudly looked at Lord Lingxi with her chin, showing off her pride.
Lord Lingxi was not salty or light, and reminded casually: "Your Royal Highness King Rui, today's melon tasting banquet is different from the past, you have to think clearly before receiving the gift, don't be confused and accept the love gift." ”
As soon as Lord Lingxi said this, Princess Naya's face changed, and her heart suddenly became uneasy.
The corners of Gu Ziyi's mouth were slightly hooked with a strange smile, and his action of getting up to pick up the painting did not stop because of the words of the Lingxi County Lord.
The ink on the painting had not yet dried, and Princess Naya held the two ends of the painting in both hands and presented it to Gu Ziyi.
I saw Gu Ziyi pick up a corner of the painting, that corner is where he left the ink treasure, he rubbed the corner of the painting paper with his fingertips, divided it by two, and quickly tore off the ancient poem of Wang Wei that he left on Princess Naya's drawing paper.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Taihe Hall was frozen and seemed to be about to freeze, and everyone held their breath, not even daring to come out.
At this moment, Princess Naya was like being poured cold by a basin of cold water, and she was petrified in place, only tears were still surging strongly, trapped in her eyes and not falling.
At this moment, even Emperor Ji Wu frowned and secretly slandered, "Ziyi doesn't know how to pity the child too much?" Immediately, his eyebrows stretched out, and he secretly praised, "Okay, very good, Ziyi did this very well, and completely broke Princess Naya's infatuation." ”
"Princess Naya, as Lord Lingxi said, I can't accept today's gift casually, and naturally I can't give it casually, the words on your painting are written by this king, this king is afraid that Princess Naya will misunderstand, so this king will tear it off, and please forgive Princess Naya for any offense."
Gu Ziyi, how could he be so ruthless?
The irrepressible sourness welled up in her heart, like a blunt knife, and the flesh fell on Princess Naya's heart, so painful that she couldn't breathe, and even her hands holding the painting trembled, and her teeth bit her lower lip tightly, holding back her tears from rolling down her eyes.
She remembered that year, Gu Ziyi led the troops to quell the civil strife of the royal family for the Wurong Kingdom, and after the victory, the evening before the army left the Wurong Kingdom, Gu Ziyi sat on the sand dunes, watching the afterglow of the sunset reflect the sky and the entire royal city of the Wurong Kingdom, so she sighed, "The sunset in the desert is so beautiful, I really want to keep this moment forever." ”
Princess Naya, who heard this sentence not far away, secretly vowed to paint today's beautiful scenery and give it to Gu Ziyi.
She hired a famous teacher, studied hard, practiced hard for more than two years, and finally had the current results, she was full of joy, and painted this picture at this melon tasting banquet, just to give it to Gu Ziyi, to give Gu Ziyi a surprise, but she didn't expect him to refuse so decisively.
The strong Princess Naya forcibly put back her tears, and she asked unwillingly: "Brother Ziyi, didn't you say that you wanted to keep the sunset of the desert forever?" Why are you rejecting my painting today? Is it because I'm not good at drawing? ”
"No, you draw well, I just don't like it." Gu Ziyi said very simply, without the slightest bit of mud and water, nor did he give this Naya princess any affection, and there was obvious disgust on his face.
Princess Naya didn't seem to see Gu Ziyi's disgust for herself, suddenly, her strength was no longer there, tears flowed out, like a wounded kitten, saying touching words of pity.
"Brother Ziyi, do you know that on the sand dunes that day, I heard you say that you like the sunset in the desert and want to leave this moment forever, so I will visit the famous teacher and take the trouble to learn to paint the sunset every day, just hoping that one day, I can help you leave the beauty of the sunset at that moment forever."
Isn't it wonderful? Maybe that moment was really beautiful, but behind that beauty was dirty and unbearable, Gu Ziyi did not pity the jade, and said in a voice that was so cold that it could freeze: "If Princess Naya has this leisure, it is better to go to Princess Nalan's grave to confess and confess, and to sacrifice the undead." ”
Gu Ziyi threw out a big melon, and the people who ate the melon sighed, knowing that Gu Ziyi had something to say, but no one dared to ask, because they knew that Gu Ziyi threw out this melon, and they couldn't eat it.
Princess Naya's heart trembled, her feet retreated unconsciously, her face was like ashes, how much did Gu Ziyi know about the events of the year? Is she really, unable to fight even a dead man? "Di Linalan, will you really let me go if you die?"
Princess Naya shook her head and returned to her seat crying.
Gu Ziyi didn't look at Princess Naya indifferently, he carefully folded the torn poem into a small tofu cube, put it in his arms like a treasure and patted it gently, this is a poem written by his girl, he must take good care of it.
In the Taihe Palace, some unreasonable people speculated that His Royal Highness King Rui had refuted Princess Naya's overtures for the sake of Lord Lingxi?
Envy and eyes full of jealousy but helpless fell on the Lingxi County Lord.
The county lord of Lingxi was very arrogant and calm, and all the eye knives were collected according to the order.
At the same time, the county lord of Leyun, who lived in Yunhua Palace to recuperate from his injuries, heard that the woman sitting next to Gu Ziyi tonight was the county lord of Lingxi, and Gu Ziyi not only refused the painting sent by Princess Naya for the sake of the county lord of Lingxi, but also cried Princess Naya angrily......
"Situ Lingxi, you slut, slut ......!" The Lord of Leyun, who was lying on the bed, was so angry that his face was full of scars, his face was twisted to hideous, and he threw out everything he could throw around him like crazy.
The palace maids and maids did not dare to approach her, let alone persuade her, and let her go crazy in bed.
"King Rui is mine, he is mine...... Situ Lingxi, you slut, I want you to live better than die......"
Situ Lingxi is actually the person that the county lord of Leyun hates the most, the two of them are both county lords with different surnames, but her position as the county lord was obtained by herself like a dog, begging for good things in front of Concubine Yun.
The county lord of Leyun knows that in fact, no one looks down on her among the children of those families, his father is a dou who can't be supported, and the big sesame petty officials can't help him, unlike Situ Lingxi, who has a great father, and his great achievements are the princes of the opposite sex who are personally crowned by Emperor Jiwu.
As a nominal county lord, where is Situ Lingxi's county lord position? Because of this, the county lord of Leyun has always disliked the county lord of Lingxi, and today, she has been even more vicious to the county lord of Lingxi and made up her mind to get rid of the county lord of Lingxi.
Gu Ziyi's ruthless refusal and Princess Naya's sad tears made the atmosphere in the Taihe Palace a little embarrassing for a while.
Emperor Ji Wu glanced at Duke Li, and Duke Li comprehended, and pulled his male duck's throat and said, "Singing and dancing......!" He still habitually dragged out the last word for a long time.
The singing and dancing performances in turn not only alleviated the embarrassing atmosphere in the Taihe Palace, but also made the atmosphere here lively.
