Chapter 138: Showing Attitude
During the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, in order to increase the play characteristics of the Furong Garden, people carved various water decorations in the Qujiang Pond, drained into a stream, and introduced the elegant behavior of the literati of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, that is, the game of the Qushui Liuzhen, into the palace.
Although Emperor Yang has died, this tradition has been well inherited and carried forward, even if it is Wei Zheng and other direct ministers, they often mention that they should be wary of the Sui Dynasty, but occasionally, they will come here for recreation, not to mention, those ladies and ladies who are usually very lonely and boring, when they come here, they have to experience it.
Like the literati and scholars, near the Liuyu Pavilion, there are many famous ladies and ladies sitting on both sides of the Qushui, and the banquet is full of flowers, balsam, pink towels and other things, gathering in groups of three or five, letting the utensils float around in the water, not so much playing the game of the Liushui Liuzhen, but rather being a vassal and elegant, just making a appearance.
In this way, it also made some girls who boasted of being outstanding in learning and ready to show their talents, and they felt very helpless, and they looked left and west boredly, and suddenly found a few people walking in front of them, and their eyes immediately lit up, and shouted: "It's Sister Zheng, and Sister Wan'er......"
It can be seen that the two of them have a prestige among the girls, and when they appeared, there were many young girls who greeted them, greeting and calling for hello, the warbler Yanyan, the powder fragrance fluttered, and they were all raised, just like the yellow warbler lark, squeaking, although the scene was a little noisy, but it was very pleasant to the ear.
At this time, there was another group of people on the opposite side, the pomp was vast, more than a dozen palace ladies held Luo yarn, laid down step curtains, blocked the surroundings, seven or eight famous ladies wearing colorful clothes and silk Luo, clustered next to a beautiful and elegant beauty like a hibiscus out of the water, but of course a few people are just a foil, and the sense of existence is very weak, because their demeanor is all covered up by the noble and beautiful, elegant and elegant beauty.
"It's Princess Changle."
The sharp-eyed lady immediately exhaled the identity of this person, and in an instant, all of them got up and rushed up to greet her.
Who doesn't know, Changle princess Li Liqing, is the eldest daughter of the Son of Heaven, benevolent, famous for beauty and good at calligraphy and painting, deeply favored by the emperor, regarded as a treasure, a year ago and the eldest grandson of the uncle Wuji's eldest grandson Chong Ding, usually live in the palace, rarely go out, but now attend the party, the meaning of which is self-evident.
With the respect of the emperor and queen, naturally he will not personally screen the candidates for the crown princess, and through various methods, select a few qualified girls, and then select the best to admit, simple and convenient, maybe Princess Changle is now acting on orders, even if she does not have the qualifications to participate in the selection of the crown princess, it is good to take a look forward and increase the impression.
Naturally, among the crowd, there may not be all people who tend to be inflammatory, and there are a few girls who are usually friends with Princess Changle and are good friends, and they also went with them.
It is worthy of being raised by the eldest grandson queen herself, coupled with her virtue, Princess Changle's surname is soft and humble, regardless of high and low, with a gentle and warm smile, she returns the salute, especially when she sees a few close friends, the smile is even worse.
"Sister Zheng, you're here too." Princess Changle smiled happily, very sincerely.
"Preparing to participate in the Qushui Liuyu with Wan'er, does Princess Changle want to participate?" Zheng Naoyue said, his voice was not indifferent, but full of affinity.
"Okay, it's crowded, let's come together." Princess Changle simply agreed, and did not forget the people next to her.
With the princess involved, there are many responders, and the game will naturally not be as cold as just now, besides, this is also a rare opportunity to perform, and people who don't know how to grasp the opportunity will naturally be excluded.
With the help of the accompanying servants, a lot of seats were added on both sides of the qushui, and the fruit and cakes were served, and the wine was naturally indispensable, what three pulp, dragon paste wine, wine, palace wine, everything, everyone sat down, set the rules, launched the arbiter, announced the order with the flag, the official start of the qushui flow, a group of noble ladies and girls, had a lot of fun.
Gathering with the same surname, it is naturally difficult to participate in the different surnames, Han Rui stood alone in front of the pavilion, alone, his expression was very helpless, fortunately, there was a young man next to him, who seemed to be thrown off, so he had to sit on the railing, looking back from time to time, and his expression was a little depressed.
A sense of sympathy for the same disease rose in his heart, Han Rui walked up, smiled and arched his hand: "Brother Tai, please." ”
A few steps forward, Han Rui found that the young man in front of him had a fair complexion, delicate facial features, and a touch of gentleness, and was also a gentle spleen.
Naturally walking to the opposite side and sitting down, Han Rui sighed, "I regret it." ”
The young man was stunned, puzzled for a while, and only heard Han Rui continue: "I shouldn't have promised her to come, I am now lonely, unsettled, sad." ”
Hehe, understood, the young man smiled, his voice was warm, and he asked politely: "In the next eldest Sun Chong, dare to ask the ...... under the feet"
"Eldest Sun Chong, don't have a relationship with this despicable and shameless villain, lest you lose your identity." Zhao Jie rushed into the rage, sat unceremoniously next to the two, staring at Han Rui with his eyes, that look, as if he couldn't cramp his bones and eat him alive.
Magnanimous, ignoring the beam-jumping clown next to him, Han Rui looked at him in surprise: "The eldest grandson is attached to the horse? ”
"If possible, please call me Zongzheng Shaoqing, or call him by his name, I won't mind." Changsun Chong suggested, after all, the two have not officially married, but it sounds like a pleading.
Han Rui said that he understands that the pressure of marrying a princess is not something that ordinary people can imagine, and the princess of the Tang Dynasty is even more famous for her debauchery, and the luck of the eldest grandson's family is not bad, Princess Changle's spleen surname is very similar to the eldest grandson queen, virtuous and virtuous, gentle and polite, belonging to the type of good wife and mother, and it is also earned by the eldest grandson.
But then again, they are cousins and sisters, born family, the eldest grandson Wuji is deeply respected by Li Shimin, and he is the elder brother of the eldest grandson queen, even if Princess Changle has a big temper, it can't be sent to the head of her uncle and cousin.
"Congratulations." Han Rui smiled and blessed.
"Thank you." The eldest grandson returned the salute politely, but said confusedly: "But I don't know where the joy comes from?" ”
Han Rui explained: "The young and the old are orderly, after the crown prince accepts the concubine, it must not be far from the eldest grandson's brother Princess Shang." ”
The eldest grandson Chong smiled softly and looked back at Princess Changle, full of affection and happiness.
Cough, Zhao Jie cleared his throat, Han Rui and the eldest grandson Chong turned a deaf ear, and continued to talk, eagerly exchanging experiences on how to please women.
Is it tolerable, which is unbearable, do the two of them think they don't exist? Zhao Jie was furious, and suddenly slapped the case: "Did you listen to me?" ”
"No need to roar, we are not deaf, we can naturally hear clearly, the problem is ......" Han Rui said strangely: "Don't you feel pain when you slap so hard?" ”
Pain? Zhao Jie was stunned, raised his hand slightly, and felt a spicy stinging pain coming from his palm, which was unbearable, and his eyes were hot, and tears almost overflowed.
"Brother Tai, pay attention next time, you can't shoot anywhere, the consequences of hitting a stone with an egg, that's it." Han Rui comforted him and suddenly proposed, "Brother Eldest Sun, why don't we also go over and have a good time?" ”
"So, isn't that right?" The eldest grandson was impulsive, but hesitated.
"Then you can just sit down." Han Rui smiled and got up, and said meaningfully: "I'm going to show my attitude, so that some people don't give up and make up their minds." ”
Saying that, Han Rui left the two of them and walked over lightly, only to see Zheng Nao sitting elegantly, the corners of Xiangluo's skirt carefully folded and flattened, and the long hair as smooth and shiny as silk satin was draped over the shoulders, and the green silk was dyed like ink, showing her slender figure and beautiful curves.
His eyes were like autumn waves, looking at the Gu Gu floating in the water, and suddenly noticed that the girl opposite was surprised, Zheng Naoyu's heart moved slightly, and he looked back sideways, but what caught his eye was Han Rui's smiling face.
"Why are you here?" Zheng Naoyue asked, his voice was indifferent, but his eyes were full of anticipation, and he was inexplicably ashamed and happy in his heart.
Han Rui smiled but didn't answer, knelt down lightly next to her, skin to skin, Zheng Naoyu trembled slightly, Xiushou lowered, and said softly: "Don't go too far." "Soft-spoken, through the flustered.
In fact, Han Rui may not be less nervous than her, but when he saw Zheng Naoyu's appearance, his heart was relieved, with a bright smile on his face, and he nodded to the girl next to him in a friendly manner.
In the Tang Dynasty, the defense of men and women, although not as powerful as in later generations, it cannot be said that there is no sitting at the same table, but it is also necessary to divide the situation, people are calm, but the two of them are ambiguous, and the feelings in it are clear at a glance, and there is no need to guess at all.
Kneeling with his head down, Zheng Nao didn't dare to wait and see the reaction of others, slowly, his palms were a little cold, and suddenly, a fiery palm came, wrapped layer by layer, firm and powerful, full of warmth, and reassuring.
"They're blessing us."
Han Rui's gentle voice came, Zheng Nao raised his eyes, quickly glanced at the surrounding situation, and met him, but there was no imaginary ridicule, but smiling faces full of ambiguous expressions, and the meaning of teasing was extremely strong.
"Sister Zheng, who is next to you, don't introduce us to it."
The girl's laughing voice came, Zheng Naoyu's beautiful cheeks flushed slightly, and he didn't know how to speak, but Han Rui, cheeky, smiled shyly: "No matter who it is, it's right to call your brother-in-law." ”
Scoundrel, Zheng Naoyue scolded secretly, only to feel that her pretty face was hot, and she hurriedly lowered her head, a touch of crimson appeared on her skin that deceived Frost Shengxue, and pinched Han Rui's palm with her fingernails, gently, softly, and without strength.
"Don't be ashamed, what should I do?" Han Rui smiled, picked up the vessel full of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Writing poetry, drinking, or whatever." Zheng Naoyue glanced lightly, as if he was blaming Han Rui for acting too quickly.
Han Rui smiled: "It just so happens that I will help you drink, so you don't have to write poetry anymore." ”
"Sister Zheng can drink, but you can't, not only do you have to drink, but you also have to compose poems, if you can't write it, don't stay here, just wait in the pavilion." When the girl next to her heard this, Qingling's eyes swirled, and she exclaimed, "What do you think?" ”
