Chapter 18: Origin
The sound of silk and bamboo is endless, everyone is talking and laughing, and it is a lively scene as far as the eye can see.
It's been a while since the feast started, the dancers have left their seats, and then the ladies are ready to go on the stage for a talent show.
The young ladies who were preparing in the apse were busy gathering in a group to chat.
There was only a woman in pale pink clothes sitting upright drinking tea, and her gestures were full of everyone's beautiful demeanor.
At this time, I only heard a female voice behind me: "I really didn't expect that Your Majesty was born with such a good appearance." ”
Another was slightly discouraged. "Who would have thought? Anyway, now I really believe the words of the second prince of Qi Province. ”
She remembered the two lines of the poem that had been rumored in the market, and the other woman sighed sadly. "Even the women of us are shocked, and those men don't know what to think in their hearts, what is the use of Miss Ben preparing for so long."
The woman's face changed when she heard her words, and she hurriedly twisted her, and said in a low voice: "Oh, be quiet, I heard that there are many His Majesty's personal guards here..."
The other party glared at her in pain, knocked her hand off and said, "It hurts!" Tap your hand! ”
Hearing this, the woman in pink who had been sitting suddenly put down the teacup, smiled, and said softly: "Are you sisters ready?" ”
One of them immediately replied, "What else to prepare?" Needless to say, it must be my sister who won the house again today. We all have to be foils. Although she had a smile on her face, there was a hint of fierceness in her eyes.
Before she could answer, she heard another voice. "I heard that Duchess An Guo likes her sister very much, and my sister is here
What's the point of attending the Spring Feast? Sooner or later, they are going to marry into the Guogong Mansion, so why bother to steal the limelight? ”
Hearing this, the ladies in the apse all looked over.
The woman in pink heard the prickly words in her words, and she didn't care. On the contrary, the maid beside her did not look very good-looking, she smiled comfortingly at the maidservant, and said: "It's strange, Your Majesty sent a post to the Huainan Marquis Mansion, and the county lord was invited to participate, didn't you actually receive the post?" ”
Since the Duchess of the Kingdom looked at her differently at the flower banquet and faintly wanted her to be her daughter-in-law, she was dissatisfied with many noble ladies and attracted many people's eyes, which she still knew.
She used His Majesty's invitation to block the woman's words, and at the same time proclaimed herself the lord of the county, reminding them of her identity, and skillfully defusing the jealousy that the woman had attracted for her.
Sure enough, the young ladies who watched the excitement laughed at this woman for not knowing the etiquette after listening to her words.
Seeing that they were all looking at her with unkind faces, the woman said angrily, "You..."
But he was stopped by a woman next to him, and the other party whispered: "How can you afford to provoke the county lord of Yongshuo?" ”
Even if she was dissatisfied in her heart, she had to suppress her heart when she heard this, who didn't know that since His Majesty ascended the throne, he only gave this county lord the title, that is the supreme dignity, and there is only this Yongshuo county lord in the country, thinking of this, she looked at the young ladies around her, and left with her sleeves indignantly.
Shen Yilin only smiled lightly when she saw this. "Sisters, get ready, there are a lot of people here today."
Everyone present heard what she meant: Most of the people present today are young talents who defend the country, and it is up to them whether they can find Ruyi Langjun or not. Although some high-spirited Xiao Xiang Ji Yan didn't have a good face for this county lord openly and secretly, most of them still had vision, and most of the young ladies couldn't help but have a good impression of this county lord for a while.
The ladies gave her a kind look, and then they all went to practice their prepared talents.
Shen Yilin still has a light smile, she has a grub collar, a moth eyebrows, and a smile can be included in the painting. Where others couldn't see, there was an inexplicable worry in her eyes, but it only stayed for a moment, and then quickly disappeared.
In the front hall, Wei Ning waited for those dancing girls to go down, turned his fingers around the wine glass, and said casually: "This year's spring banquet, the emperor has been preparing for a few days, let her start first." ”
Wei Yu, who was forcibly nibbling on a chicken leg next to her, almost didn't throw the back of her hand out, but Qiong Hua, who had been standing behind her, stepped forward and wiped her hands with a handkerchief through the excuse of service, and then she put down the half-gnawed chicken leg.
Wei Yu clearly felt Qiong Hua's eyes that hated iron and steel, as well as the many inquiring eyes below.
Before she could say anything, she only heard Wei Ning say, "Liuzhu, bring me Mingyu." ”
In less than a moment, the palace maid had already set up the piano in the center of the main hall.
Wei Yu secretly scolded her in her heart for not giving her face too much, but she had no choice but to settle down, thinking about the etiquette she had practiced in the past few days and walking step by step.
At this time, Gong Wanpu spoke: "Today, this king can see Her Royal Highness the princess, and he can also listen to His Royal Highness play, which is really a blessing for three lives." ”
Wei Yu frowned slightly, and a trace of disgust flashed in his heart. She didn't look at him, she didn't even stop, she thought about it a little in her head, and still made a noble look on her face. It wasn't until she sat down that she condensed and said, "The second prince praises falsely." ”
After speaking, I didn't wait for him to answer. Wei Yu put his hands on the piano and began to play by himself.
Seeing this, Gong Huipu didn't care, but chuckled twice.
After a while, the hall sounded the sound of high and undulating agility, sometimes the spring water tinkling, like the sound of the empty valley, sometimes the pearls fell on the jade plate, like a waterfall flowing from the sky, like a long-lasting end.
It seemed that everyone in the palace was indulged in the sound of the piano for nine days, but Wei Ning drank the slightly sweet wine cup after glass, without too much intoxicated expression.
The song was finished, and Wei Yu saluted Wei Ning from afar.
Wei Ning saw that her eyes were full of the meaning of coming to praise me, so she almost didn't say it, and she couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.
There were faint inhalations.
In the apse, Shen Yilin involuntarily tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and through the blocked screen, her eyes were firmly fixed on the woman in the distance, the dazzling red seemed to burn her through.
The maid saw the unpredictable change in the expression on her face, and couldn't help but say loudly: "County Lord, what's wrong?" ”
When she came back to her senses, she immediately put on her old expression again, and smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's my turn in a while, let's go and prepare first." ”
After hearing this, the maidservant did not doubt him, and bowed her head and replied, "Yes." ”
Wei Ning smiled: "There is progress compared to the previous few days, and I have to reward it." Say, what do you want? ”
Wei Yu walked up and sat down in his place, looking at Wei Ning excitedly with his two eyes, but he almost didn't pounce. She said: "The imperial sister knows what I want...", but she was shouting in her heart: Lift the ground, lift the grounding.
Wei Ning turned his face and pretended to suddenly realize: "In this case, I will give you my Mingyou, I hope you will practice your piano skills well in the future, and strive to reach a higher level as soon as possible." ”
Wei Yu pretended to be angry and glared at her.
Gong Huipu didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty's relationship with the emperor is really good, it is really enviable. ”
On the other side, Qin Ming said casually: "After all, Your Majesty and Emperor Ji are compatriots of the same mother, and the relationship between blood and blood is naturally excellent." ”
At this time, even Wei Ming, who had a straight temperament, could hear that Qin Ming was secretly sarcastic, and Gonghui Pu was a concubine.
Speaking of which, Gong Hui Pu is quite talented in leading troops to fight, which is a well-known thing in Shikoku, otherwise he would not have been with
The Patriotic War lasted for eight years, but again, his origins are well known.
It is said that his mother was born in the Qi country, and was sold to the palace by his parents who were also lowly in the country, because of his low background, he could not do anything else in the palace of the Qi country, but poured the night pot. I don't want to be drunk in the garden one night, I actually met this woman, it is rumored that she is extremely beautiful, like an immortal under the moon, so she was favored by the * King Qi.
Originally, on the second day, King Qi saw her appearance and wanted to include her in the harem, but the queen said that she was from a lowly background and was not allowed to stay in the harem, otherwise it would be a violation of the law of the ancestors. In the country of Qi, the law stipulates that people with untouched status are passed down from generation to generation and cannot be changed.
Although King Qi coveted the woman's appearance, because the queen was very powerful in the country of Qi, King Qi had to bow his head and compromise, and never saw the woman again.
But what I didn't expect was that she was pregnant with that favor, and then she gave birth to the child with great difficulty, and their mother and son lived in the corner of the palace as if they were forgotten, until the child was seven years old, and it was recognized by the royal family of Qi State.
To be precise, the second prince of Qi Kingdom, Gong Huipu, is actually just a prince from a low background.
Wei Ning looked at Gong Huipu with interest, she really wanted to see his face change.
Who knew that Gong Huipu seemed to feel it, and looked up at her fiercely.
Wei Ning squinted, wondering if she had seen it wrong, there was a suffocating sadness in his eyes, thick and permeated, and she could even feel the pain that penetrated deep into her bone marrow.
Who would have thought that Gong Huipu actually spoke: "This king didn't know about the relationship between the emperor and the adult's family before..."
Qin Ming said: "It's okay, the second prince can know now." ”
The young man sitting next to Qin Ming looked down at the desktop, as if the affairs in the hall had nothing to do with him, and he looked indifferent from the world. But looking at him, Wei Ning couldn't help but think of someone he hadn't remembered for a long time...
It is also that kind of sitting posture upright and straight all the time, exuding a heavy breath all over the body, so that people can see the vast expanse of the desert border at a glance, and the eyes are always desolate and thin, as if they have seen through the world, and all the right and wrong, good and evil are hidden in it.
He's like that guy...
"Sister Huang, is that Qin Jing? He doesn't look like a messy person from head to toe, aren't you pushing me into the fire pit! ”
Wei Ning said solemnly: "What do you know, only people who have experienced life and death will have such a bearing, I still underestimated him before." ”
Wei Ning glanced at her and said with disgust: "It's a pity that he deserves you." ”
Wei Yu didn't hear it, and felt that what the imperial sister said this time was quite in line with her heart, and she said proudly: "That's it, this princess is so good, it's really a pity to be worthy of him." ”
Yuzhu behind her heard this, and she couldn't wait to cover her face and find a crack in the ground to get into.
Peiyu Liuzhu, who was close, tried her best to hold back her laughter.
Wei Ning: "What I said is a pity for Qin Jing. ”
