Chapter 270, Now a Stranger
Cijing looked at a plate of persimmons on the table, and suddenly opened the bead curtain, but Xiao Er, who was supposed to be waiting there outside, was gone.
"Is this a mistake or is there something wrong with the little two?" Ci Jing asked.
Sun Xian Lin already had an extra silver needle in his hand, he tried it in every persimmon, the silver needle did not change, he tried longan sugar cake and tea, but it was not poisonous.
"If someone really wants to poison him, he probably won't do it wrong." Ci Jing leaned on the low table and said.
Sun Xian put away the silver needle, and his voice was a little chilly: "Xiao Er, who sent something just now, hasn't looked up, maybe Xiao Er has changed people, I didn't try the poison with the silver needle, but some poisons can't be tried with the silver needle, so let's not move." ”
"We've been discovered?" Cijing touched his mask and wore it well, how could this be discovered?
Sun Xian frowned, "The fragrance on your body." ”
Ci Jing's face changed.
On the other side, Lan Sheng had stopped at the door of the Dongxiang Hou Mansion, and was greeted by the little maid, the poetry meeting was supposed to be outside, but suddenly it snowed again, these ladies and ladies were more expensive than the other, but they couldn't freeze, so the poetry club moved to the warm pavilion.
And Su Lingling, the protagonist of the poetry club, is sitting in the corner of the warm pavilion at the moment, and the tassel is sitting on the side, muttering and complaining: "Master Hou is really, knowing that Miss likes to be quiet, he still finds so many people to come over." ”
Su Lingling didn't know what she was thinking, and the tassel's words slipped in and out of her left ear, not a word was kept.
Tassel saw that her young lady didn't take care of herself, but she was in a bad mood, and she became more and more indignant.
The little maid at the door came to report at the door: "Princess Shuo has arrived!" ”
The lively warm pavilion suddenly quieted down, everyone looked at the door, Lan Sheng was helped into the door by Xiao'e, and the little girl hurriedly closed the door of the warm pavilion, for fear that a little more cold wind would go in and freeze the ladies and ladies.
Xiao'e took off Lanshang's cloak and handed it to the maids who were waiting respectfully, those who were lower in rank than Lanshang, they all saluted Lanshang, Lanshang nodded and smiled, and couldn't help but be a little nervous, so she didn't speak. Her eyes wandered around the warm pavilion, and finally saw Su Lingling sitting in the corner, so she went straight over there.
Su Lingling suddenly had more people around her, and the instinctive reaction of her body made her raise her head and look at the person with some hostility.
Lan Sheng was startled by her cold eyes, took a half step back, and said, "I'm sorry, can't you sit here?" ”
Su Lingling glanced at this strange beautiful girl, frowned slightly, but still said, "You can sit here." ”
Lan Sheng knelt down with her skirt and sat down, Su Lingling didn't pay much attention, Wu Zi turned his head and went out of his mind, Xiao'e poured a cup of tea for Lan Shang, Lan Sheng said: "I heard that today's poetry meeting is held for Miss Su, why is Miss Su sitting in this corner?" ”
"I don't like poetry clubs." Su Lingling said in her usual cold voice, paused for a while, then turned her head to cover the tassel's ear and asked softly, "Who is she?" ”
Tassel said in his heart that his young lady took the voice of the little maid just now as a deaf ear, sighed in his heart, and also said in Su Lingling's ear: "King Shuo's newly married princess." ”
It turned out to be his cousin-in-law, no matter how cold Su Lingling was, the etiquette that should be talked about still had to be taught, but he had already skipped it just now, and it was not good to make up for it again, so he picked up the teapot and added another cup to the teacup that was almost empty, and said: "This poem will be strange and boring, and I will come over with my sister-in-law." ”
Lan Sheng was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then smiled again: "It's nothing, it's boring to stay at home on such a cold day, I have long heard that Miss Su is both talented and beautiful, and I have always been envious, I want to come to the Hou Mansion to see what kind of heavenly sister she is, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”
Lanshang is smaller than Su Lingling, even if she wears a married woman's hair in a bun and wears a gorgeous dress, she can't cover the childishness on her body, Su Lingling was very uncomfortable by her sister's call, so she said: "If my sister-in-law doesn't mind, just call me Lingling." ”
Lan Shang was overjoyed, a suitable smile appeared on his lips, and he called softly: "Lingling." ”
Su Lingling nodded, took a sip of tea, and didn't mean to continue talking, Lan Sheng didn't start, and saw that in the center of the warm pavilion, a girl in yellow was surrounded by the crowd, but because she was tall, even if she was wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, she could still show half of her head, and there was a sudden burst of cheers, Lan Sheng wanted to go over and take a look, but she glanced back at Su Lingling, and sat back with a little left the cushion.
Although Su Lingling wandered out of the world, he actually noticed the embarrassment of Lan Sheng here, so he said: "If my sister-in-law wants to chat with them and chant poetry, go over, it's no problem for me to stay here alone." ”
Lan Shang looked a little reserved, glanced over there and then took his gaze back, and said, "I don't know them." ”
Su Lingling raised her eyebrows, glanced at the crowd, she helped Xiaoji to stand up, and stretched out her hand to Lan Shang, with a gentle smile on her face, although it seemed that she was not very willing, she still said: "I'll accompany you." ”
Lan Sheng finally showed a sincere smile, she was already extremely beautiful, such a smile, Rao is Su Lingling also felt that there was a flower in front of him, and suddenly understood why his cousin, who couldn't even remember his face, would marry the girl in front of him.
The two of them came to the center of the warm pavilion one after the other, and someone noticed that the two of them came over and automatically made a way, and the girl in yellow also saw them, and when they came, Ying Ying saluted: "I've seen Princess Shuo, I've seen Miss Su." ”
Lan Sheng showed a standard smile with good etiquette, and the girl in yellow was stunned for a moment, and said: "Princess Shuo's flower and moon appearance also make this plain white winter a little more beautiful." ”
Xiao'e whispered in Lan Shang's ear: "This is Qiao Yiyi, the eldest lady of the heroic general Qiao's family." ”
Lan Shang said softly when she heard this: "Just now I sat in the corner and heard everyone cheering for Miss Qiao, presumably Miss Qiao must be talented, I am waiting for a country woman, and this skin can be on the stage, how can it be worthy of the ladies and ladies to show off their wisdom?" ”
She is just a woman who King Shuo Su Yongye kindly took in, everyone knows this, although King Shuo has no power, but after all, there is a prince's name, she is an ordinary girl, marrying the prince is naturally a sparrow to become a phoenix, inevitably jealous, Lan Shang lowered his value, and praised these ladies and young ladies well, praising them to their satisfaction but still not forgetting to say in their hearts: You are self-aware.
Qiao Yiyi smiled slightly, walked out of the crowd, and said: "In front of the princess, how dare we claim to be beautiful and wise, we are not as good as one-ten-thousandth of the princess in terms of beauty, and in terms of talent, we can only be ugly among us, and we can't be on the stage." ”
Qiao Yiyi spoke politely, and her smile was perfect, but Lan Sheng was extremely uncomfortable to hear, but she didn't show it, she also smiled, Qiao Yiyi said again: "We just received the question, and the next question is to write a poem on the topic of today's heavy snow, whether it is the Seven Absolute or the Five Laws, does the princess want to participate?" ”
Lan Shang's face turned pale, she still listened to it outside the private school for a period of time when she was a child, and she barely memorized the enlightenment readings of the Thousand Character Wen Sanzi Sutra, and she could recognize all the words and let her compose poems, how could that be possible?
But so many people are just waiting to see her jokes.
Su Lingling saw her embarrassment, sighed in her heart, and said, "Princess She doesn't want to participate, so don't force her." ”
"Isn't it that the princess can't write poetry? King Shuo is also a prince, how can he take an illiterate girl? One of the caustic voices came out of the crowd, Su Lingling's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of cold light burst out, and the man immediately shut up.
Qiao Yiyi said very regretfully: "Since the princess is unwilling, then we don't have the right to force the princess, it's me who is talking too much, I apologize to the princess, and ask the princess for forgiveness." ”
Lan Sheng looked at her deeply, and suddenly looked behind her, behind Qiao Yiyi, separated by two or three people, there was a gray figure at some point, he stood among a group of girls and looked tall, but it was not conspicuous, he looked at her, looked at her, and looked at her, this time he did not dodge, but nodded lightly at her.
Lan Shang didn't know where she got the courage, took a deep breath, and took a half step forward: "I'll participate." ”
Everyone present was shocked, and Su Lingling looked at her with a rare curiosity, Lan Sheng smiled and said, "Miss Qiao came first?" ”
Qiao raised his eyebrows one by one, his eyes slowly rolled, and he said loudly: "The city is full of ice and snow, and the shadows are deep in dreams." The spring and autumn in the world have passed several times, and no one listens to the flowers blooming and falling. ”
After Qiao Yi finished reading a poem one by one, there was another round of applause in the warm pavilion, Qiao Yi couldn't hide the smugness in his eyes, raised his chin and looked at Lan Shang, but he still said politely: "Princess, please." ”
Lan Sheng looked past her to look at the gray-clothed man behind Qiao Yiyi, he opened his mouth slightly, with so many years of tacit understanding, Lan Sheng saw what he said: "The remnant snow has not melted at night, and the soul is under the moon." When cardamom was gone, now—"
Lan Shang's eyes suddenly turned red, and she was silent for a moment before continuing: "Now a stranger." ”
Everyone was going to see Lan Shang's joke, but after listening to her read it, no one made a sound, Lan Sheng felt out of shape, lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, raised her head and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm smiling." ”
Qiu Jizhen, who had been watching not far away, came over and said: "Miss Qiao and the princess's poems have their own merits, why don't you choose one, who you think is good, you will stand behind whoever you want, and whoever has more people will be regarded as today's poet." ”
Everyone nodded yes, and Lan Sheng looked around the warm pavilion, only to find that the person had disappeared again at some point.
She shook the hand in her sleeve, and a strange brilliance flashed in her eyes, and Su Lingling noticed it at her side.
The final result came out, there were actually three more people behind Lan Sheng than Qiao Yiyi, Qiao Yiyi still politely blessed her, Lan Shang said: "It's Miss Qiao who has conceded, I still have a lot of places to ask Miss Qiao for advice." ”
