Chapter 31: To each his own mind
Sure enough, General Zhao paused for a moment, and continued to say to the emperor: "The king of Jinyang is getting older, and he has not yet had a wife, so he is really delayed in the war for the country abroad, and the minister has a daughter who is just sixteen years old, and she is not married. ”
This is a person who can speak, and humbly asks for his daughter to be considered as a candidate, which is actually a clear desire for the emperor to give marriage.
In fact, the emperor had already heard that General Zhao's youngest daughter had both ability and political integrity, and when he saw him say this, he said: "Zhao Qing's family is too modest, who doesn't know that your beloved daughter is both talented and beautiful, and she is knowledgeable, if the emperor can marry such a virtuous and good-looking wife, it is also an honor for the royal family!"
The emperor observed Hetai, and saw that his expression remained unchanged, he looked unfazed, and it was not his business, and it was inconvenient for him to agree directly, this son was stubborn, if he did not agree, wouldn't it be difficult for him to step down, so he added: "But although the marriage event is said to be the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, it is better for them to be in love, by the way, has Qing's beloved daughter come today? Let her come forward and meet with the second emperor, if they have no opinion, I will make the decision." ”
The little girl has long admired the bravery of the second prince, and has long looked forward to seeing the heroic appearance of today's banquet. "Seeing the emperor's appearance, there is a chance that he will agree, and General Zhao can hardly hide his joy.
Zhao Wan'er, the daughter of General Xuan Zhao, replied closely. The eunuch shouted.
A girl responded from below, her clothes were ringing, her body was plump and slender, her waist was slender, delicate as a willow, she was thin where she should be thin, and she was fat where she should be fat, she was really a beauty, her father General Zhao was really too modest, saying that his daughter's qualifications were mediocre, but she was such a beautiful woman!
She walked lightly, the corners of her skirt fluttered, gently climbed the steps, stood beside General Zhao, and made a big salute.
"Courtier Zhao Wan'er visits the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Meet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose! "The red lips are lightly opened, and the courtesy is thoughtful. Ruyu's skin is snow-white and pink, as if it can wring out water, moon eyebrows and starry eyes, and a night pearl hanging from her forehead, emitting a faint light.
The Queen Mother smiled and looked quite satisfied.
Hetai just glanced at the Zhao family's father and daughter lightly, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
The reason why he was sent out to fight back then was because of the plots and fueling of these people in front of him. Now, when these old foxes see that they are not only alive but also returning triumphantly, they see that the wind is making the rudder, and he knows all this very well in his heart, so let this group of clowns jump first, and it is not the time to tear their faces.
Yu Die'er peeked at Hetai next to him, and saw that his face was as usual, without a trace of surprise and joy, such a beautiful girl wanted to marry herself, and she was already happy to be designated by others, this Hetai is really weird!
The Queen Mother beckoned Zhao Wan'er to sit down beside her, holding her hand and asking long and short questions, as if she had become her granddaughter-in-law. Zhao Wan'er's pair of affectionate single phoenix eyes glanced at Hetai from time to time, and two red clouds flew on her cheeks.
General Zhao was overjoyed, his face was full of red light, now he climbed up to the imperial family, he happily drank a few glasses with his colleagues around him, and his face showed a slightly drunken flush, but what really made him slightly drunk was definitely not the things in the cup, but that he got the in-laws he wanted, the wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk!
At the beginning, he noticed the fish and butterfly at the same table as Heyan, and wondered in his heart, when did the prince accept such a beautiful concubine?
He couldn't help but look this way frequently, and glanced at it again and again, but how could that beautiful woman seem to have an enmity with him? His eyes were full of contempt and contempt when he swept over him, and he looked disgusted? It was really incomprehensible!
I shouldn't have seen her before? I won't offend her, right? The more I look at it, the more I feel that it seems to be a little familiar, but I really can't remember where I have seen it! I don't know where the prince found such a beautiful woman.
And now he saw that Hetai, who had just been crowned king, was so blessed, and his heart was even more envious and jealous, General Zhao's daughter he had already coveted, and he had already let his mother hint, but the old guy said that his daughter had just passed cardamom and had not yet reached the line, and he was not in a hurry to marry others, but he still didn't think of himself later, but now he took the initiative to rush to paste Hetai! It turned out that he held his daughter in his hand, and he promised which one had a future, hum! Look down on me, sooner or later you will regret it, he drank a glass of wine hatefully.
Yu Die'er had already found that Hebi was sitting opposite her, casting a bunch of eyes at him, she looked away in disgust and pretended to turn a blind eye, too lazy to look at him, just afraid that if she looked more, she would lose her appetite, but it was a pity that this table was delicious!
Such a man with bitter jealousy engraved on his face, was he blind in his previous life, and he always felt that he was a decent gentleman.
Pingyuan Hou and his wife also brought the third prince Pinglianchuan and Pingwanxiang to greet the Queen Mother, and Pingyuan Hou's wife and the Queen Mother were already close, so they naturally chatted very affectionately. praised the fragrance of the fragrance more and more vividly, and the eldest lady also took the opportunity to ask the queen mother to help find a good son-in-law.
However, Ping Lianchuan noticed Yu Die'er, and saw her at the same table with His Royal Highness the Prince, from disbelief to hesitation to confirmation and then calmly walked up to her and said a few words, his expression was a little complicated, and what he said was all polite.
"Die'er, how does he know you?" After Ping Lianchuan left, Heyan asked.
Yu Die'er looked at the singing and dancing performance in the audience, and said: "Your Highness said that the third prince of Ping? just happened to meet, and learned that he was sick, and it happened that my family had a prescription for healing, so I cured him." ”
"Oh, can Die'er still heal, I really can't underestimate you!" Heyan quipped.
Yu Die'er is afraid that there will be many mistakes and leaks, because she has not memorized all the medical scriptures, and she has only read part of the medical books obtained in the valley, not to mention that she has never practiced it, and she is not even a barefoot doctor with half a bucket of water. So she pretended to be fascinated by singing and dancing, and stopped talking.
Heyan was a little lost, she only cared about eating and didn't care about herself since the opening of the banquet, and now she finally has the opportunity to say a few words. She was silent again, alas, Jiang kept talking, but he was very annoyed!
Why is a person so strange, he wants to talk to someone who doesn't speak, and he is still annoyed by talking to him.
The court music under the stage is playing, the bells and drums are ringing in unison, and the sound is majestic, which seems to depict a prosperous scene of prosperity and celebration all over the world!
From time to time, some people come to toast to the prince Heyan and the king of Jinyang, the monarchs and ministers rejoice, raise a glass and drink, everyone smiles on their faces, but they have their own thoughts inside!
After a song, the musicians retreated, a woman in a green shirt held a sandalwood piano, Ying Ying came over, sat down gracefully, the body of the piano carved dragon pattern phoenix, like a guqin, she stroked the piano surface with both hands, quiet for a moment, the sound of the piano suddenly sounded in the hall, the sound of the piano poured and flowed, like a secluded spring water clear and ethereal, not only not abrupt but suddenly entered the hearts of people, a transposition and into a murmuring strong current, through the cliffs, flying straight down, into the turbulent and tumbling river, and finally returned to calm!
At the end of the song, the woman in the green shirt did not leave the stage, her hands were still on the piano, and her jade fingers fluttered lightly to start the next piece of music, but there was only a leisurely sound, faint like the waves splashed by the jump of a fish.
