Chapter 321: Gao Zihui Unintentionally Anti-Self-Restraint (4)
Yuan Zhonghua was already apprehensive in his heart, and said lightly absentmindedly at this time, "I have never liked to be lively, since the princess is going, I invite myself." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Princess Jibei probably felt that she had finally embed a thorn in Yuan Zhonghua's heart, and seeing that her expression had changed, she was finally very proud in her heart, and felt that she had won a big victory, and finally used Yuan Zhonghua, the abolished princess, to vent her husband's anger, so she led all the women to the Zhaotai Palace.
At this time, only Yuan Zhonghua, Yueguang, Ah Jiao and the slaves and maids of the Taiyuan Mansion were left under the Xinyi tree.
Moonlight also saw that Yuan Zhonghua's expression was abnormal, and she only felt that she seemed to be trembling and unable to stand on her feet while holding Ajiao. Thinking that her child was abandoned before she was born, the general made a dancing princess so quickly, and it seems that the next step must be to set up the princess Langya as the step-concubine.
Moonlight also felt that this person was cold in her heart. Knowing that he was going to abandon Yuan Zhonghua before, he thought that he wanted to make room for Princess Rouran out of consideration for his marriage with Rouran. It turns out that this is the case. Moonlight has also seen Yuan Yuyi twice and watched her dance. And she saw with her own eyes how Gao Cheng broke into the Taiyuan Mansion that day and took away the dancing girl who the emperor gave to Gao Yang, the Duke of Taiyuan.
Before, she thought that Gao Cheng had acted like this, but today she realized that he actually loved the new Langya princess Yuan Yuyi to such an extent. I can't say whether I am jealous or hateful in my heart, but I may still be more sad, so I pity Yuan Zhonghua even more.
Now it is rumored in the palace that the general has abolished the pregnant concubine and has been driven out of the general's mansion. It's really hard for Yuan Zhonghua to be calm in the palace. And even the moonlight can be seen, Yuan Zhonghua's biological brother, Emperor Yuan Shanjian, ignores her and is obviously estranged, not to mention the queen Gao Yuanjun, where do you still miss the friendship that grew up together?
Moonlight left behind him, and the slave came over and stretched out his hand to help Yuan Zhonghua. "If my sister is uncomfortable, it is better to leave the palace early." She looked at Yuan Zhonghua's pale cheeks as paper as she spoke, "The lord and the queen know that Sister is pregnant, so they won't be surprised." "Moonlight knew in her heart that the emperor and empress could still take care of this eldest princess now.
"Madame is from the Zhaotai Palace, do you know what is going on in the palace today?" Yuan Zhonghua's hand held the moonlight and held her arm, looking at her and asking.
The moonlight was quite close to her at this time, and she could see it very clearly. Yuan Zhonghua's eyes were misty with tears, his eye circles were red, his eyelashes were wet, and his pale skin seemed to be transparent. It was precisely because there were no tears that moonlight felt really sorry for her.
Last time, she told Yuan Zhonghua in the General's Mansion that she was going to be abandoned, which led to the big trouble later, so she didn't dare to talk casually.
"Who is Princess Langya?" Yuan Zhonghua looked at the moonlight and dodged, and asked again. "Won't even my sister tell me?"
Hearing this voice had already broken Moonlight's heart, and seeing that her eyes were full of sadness, Moonlight really couldn't bear to let her be in the dark anymore to make people teasing, and deliberately held Yuan Zhonghua's elbows, "Sister is the Lord's sister......" She was also sour at this time. "No one can go beyond my sister...... "She also knew that her words were just empty words, just to comfort Yuan Zhonghua, and she hated Gao Cheng for being so cold." The dancing girl Yuan Yuyi given by the Lord is the sister of Gaoyang Wang Yuanbin, and the Lord has given her the title of Princess Langya today......" Moonlight's voice choked, and she was already in tears, and she couldn't go on.
Yuan Zhonghua's hand let go of Moonlight, and only let Moonlight and Ah Jiao help her. She suddenly glanced sideways at the pickaxe pool and smiled faintly.
Such a bleak smile seemed to Moonlight and Ah Jiao's heart like a knife. Yuan Zhonghua, who was smiling like that, seemed to have lost his soul.
Yuan Zhonghua didn't shed tears, didn't cry.
She turned her head and smiled hard at the moonlight, "Since this is such a grand ceremony, it is not good for Madame to come out for a long time, so it is better to go back quickly." β
Ah Jiao's heart hurts, anger and anger. Banquet and drink in the palace, such a big event, Yuan Zhonghua is the only sister and eldest princess of the lord, no one comes to look for her when she is not there, and no one cares. What is true today, but what will happen in the future? Ah Jiao didn't even hold out hope in her heart, and didn't believe that Liu Taozhi could invite the general Gao Cheng to relieve the princess.
Outside the gate, a gorgeous carriage came slowly.
This road deliberately slowed down, and Bald Tujia saw enough of the scenery of Yecheng. Although he intends to be a vassal and elegant, he has learned the dress and rhetoric of the Han people in the Central Plains, but after all, he has grown up in the Rouran grassland, and he has long forgotten to pretend to be at this time.
In fact, Bald Tujia has been in Chang'an for a long time, but at that time, he lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, and he rarely had the opportunity to go to the market. Moreover, the Western Wei Dynasty suffered natural disasters one after another, and the country was poor and the people were weak, unlike the Eastern Wei Dynasty, which had made great efforts to govern the country and implemented new policies in the past few years since Gao Cheng entered the Ye Auxiliary Government.
Seeing the prosperity of the market, he was eye-opening, and he felt that he was very different from the hungry people in Chang'an at that time, and was surprised that the national strength of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was so much stronger than that of the Western Wei Dynasty. In my heart, I was full of admiration for this auxiliary minister, who was only a few years older than him. secretly thought that he would be close to Gao Cheng, and he could learn how to govern the country when he became a Rouran Khan in the future.
At this time, he was more willing to choose Gao Cheng as a suitable partner, and felt that this general was talented and beautiful, and he could be a gentle horse. It's just that I don't know if he has a princess, who is the princess, and whether he is favored? If you think about it, there must be. But after thinking about it, Gao Cheng doesn't look like a person who is obsessed with one thought and doesn't care about the overall situation like the Yuan Bao Torch of the Western Wei Emperor, as long as his princess is not the sole favorite of his single-mindedness, it will be abolished. His sister Princess Moonlight is also beautiful, and she is also good at riding and shooting, isn't she also talented and beautiful? Over time, I will be able to become a good couple with the general.
"Xiao Langjun," Bald Jiajian saw that he was approaching the gate of the Wei Palace, and finally withdrew his gaze and called out.
He just wanted to praise a few words, but suddenly saw Gao Cheng frowning and listening, it seemed to be a very serious matter. At this moment the carriage stopped. Bald Tujia also heard a voice calling outside, "Lord Lang." β
Gao Cheng heard that it was Liu Taozhi's voice, and he didn't care about Bald Tujia anymore, and when the carriage just stopped, he lifted the curtain and asked outside, "What's the matter?" β
At this time, Bald Tujia saw a very young man-headed slave with thick eyebrows and big eyes walking to the window. The man glanced inward, ignored Bald Tujia, and replied to Gao Cheng, "The princess was embarrassed in the Zhaotai Palace, and the slave and maid who followed me asked me to inform Lord Lang quickly." β
Gao Cheng still didn't expect that someone would dare to openly embarrass Yuan Zhonghua in the inner garden. He didn't really abolish Yuan Zhonghua's name. No matter what the legend is outside, in fact she is still his concubine, is anyone really impatient? He was even dissatisfied with Emperor Yuan Shanjian and Empress Gao Yuanjun in his heart.
"Where is the Lord?" Gao Cheng'an sat still and asked again.
"The lord is in the Zhaotai Palace." Liu Taozhi replied.
Gao Cheng understood in his heart.
Liu Taozhi retreated, and Gao Cheng also understood in his heart, but Bald Tujia was like being trapped in a five-mile fog.
He didn't know who the "princess" mentioned by this cangtou slave was, and it didn't sound like Gao Cheng's concubine. According to his guess, if it is really Gao Cheng's concubine, with Gao Cheng's identity in Great Wei, who would dare to be rude to his concubine in the Wei Palace?
If this "princess" is the person he favors, Bald Tujia thinks it is even more impossible. Seeing Gao Cheng sitting still at this time, he seemed to have no worries. If he is really a person who favors him alone, how can he hear that he is embarrassed and he has nothing to say?
Bald Tujia smiled and said, "Xiao Langjun, since the Lord is in the Zhaotai Palace, can you ask Xiao Langjun to take me to meet me?" β
Gao Cheng smiled, "What the virtuous brother said is exactly what I want. β
In the Zhaotai Palace, there is already a song and a swallow dance.
Princess Yuan Yuyi of Langya is the first time to sit and watch others sing and dance at such a palace banquet. It's a bit like sitting on pins and needles, and I'm not used to it.
At this time, the maiden who was accompanying her suddenly saw a gorgeous and outstanding lady walking behind her slave maid. And at this moment, the girl with good eyesight inadvertently swept and found that the palace maids at the gate of the palace welcomed the general Gao Cheng in.
The singing and dancing stopped, and the huge Zhaotai Hall was quiet. The hall was full of people who didn't care about their own business, whether they were ridiculing or gloating, they all watched the noble lady walk up to Yuan Yuyi and sit down in front of her table.
Ti Nu knelt beside Yuan Yuyi and told Fu Er. Yuan Yuyi didn't speak, didn't move, and didn't look at the door of the hall.
At this time, the general Gao Cheng had already walked in, except for the noble lady herself, who couldn't see it because of the back, everyone else saw it.
"Princess Langya has always been worried, but because today's singing and dancing can't be seen?" The noblewoman beckoned to herself, and the slaves and maids behind her obeyed her instructions and filled the jade pot in front of Yuan Yuyi with wine. The noble lady herself held her own pretended to be reserved and smiled, "Since the lord ordered the princess to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors today, and gave her a knighthood, I am the eldest sister-in-law of the princess, and I will first live for the princess." After saying that, she didn't pay attention to Yuan Yuyi, just drank one after another, and then stared at Yuan Yuyi.
There was a condescending arrogance in her smile, not so piercing, but so deep that it seemed to come from the bottom of her heart. From her words, Yuan Yuyi knew that this was the princess of her "brother" Gaoyang Wang Yuanbin. It seems that she has the same attitude as Yuan Bin, and she doesn't disdain to recognize her as a young sister at all.
Yuan Yuyi had already seen that the emperor, the empress, the king of Jibei, the princess of Jibei, and those women she couldn't fully know all looked at her with a smile and a groan, and no one spoke. And among them, only her brother Gaoyang Wang Yuanbin's smile was cold. None of the other people's laughter seemed to be directed at her, and no one was willing to come out to relieve her at this moment.
Yuan Yuyi knelt up straight and picked up the jade slur, and smiled as if she was unconscious, "Since you are the eldest sister-in-law, please forgive me for being rude." With that, he drank it all.
The lady laughed and said, "The princess is not only good at singing and dancing, but also good at drinking. As she spoke, she beckoned again, and the slave behind her came up again to pick up the copper bucket. I don't know if it's because of the length of the handle of the copper bucket or because the gap between the banquets is too small to operate, the slave didn't accurately pour the wine into the jade in front of Yuan Yuyi when she scooped it out of the honor, but splashed her all over her body.
The slave was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty. Yuan Yuyi didn't say anything yet, but Princess Gaoyang raised her hand mercilessly and slapped her face hard, and scolded the slave and maid sharply at Yuan Yuyi, "Eryi slave, after serving in the palace a few times, do you really think you can enter the palace?" How dare you do this? Aren't you afraid that you won't know how you died in the future? β
The slave and maid also kowtowed and asked for sin, "The slave and maid really deserve to die, please forgive the princess, and in the future, you will be content with your duty to serve the princess well, and you will never dare to forget your identity." β
Princess Gaoyang said angrily, "I soiled the princess's dress, how can the princess perform for a while?" β
Who can't hear this singing and other meanings? Besides, Princess Gaoyang still used Yuan Yuyi as a dancing girl to speak in her tone.
Yuan Yuyi's face was flushed, her eyes were full of tears, and she didn't dare to fall, she bit her lip desperately, and her clothes and skirts were all stained with wine, looking extremely embarrassed and pitiful.
Bald Tujia is the first time to Yecheng and the first time to enter the Wei Palace. The Chang'an Palace was rebuilt by the official office, but the Yecheng Wei Palace was built on the basis of the original palace of the previous generation. In order to renovate the Yecheng Palace, even the Wei Palace in the old capital of Luoyang was demolished and relocated. Comparing the two phases, he naturally felt that the Wei Palace in Yecheng was more grandiose, magnificent and luxurious.
Gao Cheng entered the Zhaotai Hall to see the emperor and asked Bald Tujia to wait outside the hall. Bald Tujia naturally agreed, but after all, he was still a young man who had just grown up, and he was inevitably curious, and it was the first time he went to Yecheng Wei Palace, so he took the opportunity to look left and right. At this time, the clouds covered the sun, and the golden light leaking from the clouds sprinkled on the pickaxe pond was a golden red, which made Bald Tujia feel that this place was like a fairyland. He has never known how to gallop on horseback on the grassland, when has he ever had a moment of quiet watching the scenery?
Bald Tujia didn't know what the scene was in the palace, Gao Cheng went in for a long time and didn't come out, so he just watched the women and palace relatives by the pickaxe pool, everyone was dressed in gorgeous makeup, which made him feel bored, so he didn't care about the rain at this time, and the sparse ground had been sprinkled down, so he walked back and forth by the pickaxe pool.
At this time, the moonlight had already returned to the Zhaotai Palace. Although he pitied Yuan Zhonghua, Yuan Zhonghua had already instructed Ah Jiao to leave the palace after a short rest here, and it was not easy for Yueguang to persuade him again.
After watching the Duchess of Taiyuan and the slave leave, the princess stood motionless under the Xinyi tree alone. She would not allow her to come forward to help her, nor would the slaves and maidservants come near. Ah Jiao could only see Yuan Zhonghua's back. I could only see that Yuan Zhonghua had stood there for a long time without moving, but she neither dared to speak nor move, and she was worried in her heart, she had never seen Yuan Zhonghua like this.
Naturally, the general didn't come, and even Liu Taozhi didn't talk back, and Ah Jiao thought that the general should not come. Because she paid too much attention to Yuan Zhonghua, Ah Jiao didn't even know that it was raining. Suddenly, I heard a man's voice behind me.
"Sister doesn't know it's raining? Why don't you go into the temple to hide from the rain? "It's the voice of a slightly naughty teenager.
Ah Jiao was stunned for a while, she didn't dare to turn back so quickly. She was afraid that this was not the person she had been looking forward to for Yuan Zhonghua a thousand times.
Yuan Zhonghua slowly turned around.
