227. Fear
She was not afraid, and walked in front of Jiang Yan to bless her, and said: "Your Highness knows that I am unwilling in my heart, and I am so embarrassed by the fact that I am far away, and I have already fulfilled His Highness's request at this time, and I hope you will obey and agree, so let me go!" ”
Jiang Yan looked at her with interest and said with a smile: "Do you want me to abandon it?" You know how hard it took me to get you, how could it be so once? ”
Qiao Siwan was not annoyed, but just smiled like a shallow twilight spring moonlight, "Your Highness is the prince of the Great Calendar, and he has the power to the universe." But I am also the daughter of the princess, the concubine of the king of Mingjun, the sister of Concubine Lin, and the granddaughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo. The breeze stirred her long loose hair, and she took advantage of her thin body like a willow in the wind. I only heard her speak softly and eloquently, like a jade bead slowly falling on a jade plate, which was very touching, "In fact, it is unwise for you to force me to serve." I am married and married, and Your Highness's move is undoubtedly ruining people's homes and forcing people to distinguish between them, not to mention, you are so blindly coercive, it will only make me hate in my heart. ”
Jiang Yan's sharp eyes seemed to penetrate her, and he only stared firmly at the ground, "Since you think clearly, why do you need to answer me today." ”
Qiao Siwan's face turned red, and she was a little shy, "I always have to let His Highness stop thinking." ”
Jiang Yan looked at her: "Let me break my mind?" ”
Qiao Siwan slowly raised her head, her eyes were shining, and she looked at him fixedly, "Your Highness will be a promising monarch in the future, since you have fulfilled your long-cherished wish, you will naturally not think about it anymore, I trust, you will not ignore the affairs of the country for the sake of women." ”
Indeed, if you can't get it yourself, you will naturally think about it and get it, and you will feel bored. Jiang Yan was stunned, but laughed instead, "You think a lot." ”
What do you think? After a lifetime, she really knows a little about the psychology of these men. If she refused to comply, Jiang Yan would only become more and more obsessed, but since she had already promised herself, at least in his opinion, this matter was not so important in Jiang Yan's eyes. But every woman, only when her heart is broken, can she be clear about the world, and so. Her smile cooled slightly, like a shallow floating cloud, and the wind would disperse, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." ”
"It doesn't matter if you believe or not what I say," Qiao Siwan's voice was gentle and clear, and at this time, word by word, even others could feel a chill on his body, "Your Highness, if you want to maintain such a relationship with me for a long time, you really won't, Chi Truth is your brother, you should understand his skills and abilities, and the hatred of taking his wife is you to death, and he still doesn't hear anything about it at the moment, but if His Highness still refuses to let go in the future, forcing him to be angry, can His Highness still live in the position of the crown prince?" ”
Jiang Yan thought for a moment, high-fived and smiled, "Okay!" Good! This psychology and personality really touched me very thoroughly, and I had nothing to say. He gave her a deep look, "Let's go!" Today's events will not be talked of at all! ”
Qiao Siwan bent down to salute, with a smile on her face, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
Palace luncheon
The banquet, in fact, the young masters of the Wang clan gathered, to put it bluntly, it was a feast for the lord of Yanran to choose a son-in-law.
Qiao Siwan did not nod and agree to this marriage in the end, and the patience of the king of Chu was exhausted, and he returned to the emperor and asked to hold a banquet, so that the young masters of the Wang clan of the whole capital would intervene and choose a female son-in-law for the lord of Yanran, if it was just that, it would be fine, but it happened that he also asked all the palace ladies and ladies to be included. In the final analysis, it is to let Qiao Siwan know that without her younger brother Qiao Siyuan, there are more people kneeling and begging to marry the county lord.
Qiao Siwan knew this, and could have said that she would not go because she was sick, but she went, just because she didn't want Yanran's stupid child to be too sad. When Jiang Yanran caught a glimpse of Qiao Siwan's awareness, a smile appeared on her face.
Because a lot of male guests were invited this time, the women's seats were set up with a thin transparent silk curtain, and there was a sparse curtain outside the curtain, so that the people outside the curtain could not see the scene inside the curtain, but the people inside the curtain could clearly see all the news inside.
Lin Yuanxin sat next to Qiao Siwan, I don't know why, but she sighed, looked at the puppet-like Jiang Yanran from a distance, and said, "You really refuse to nod?" ”
Qiao Siwan shook her head, "Yanran is a good lady, but her friend may not be beautiful......"
Lin Yuanxin smiled and shook her head: "They do have good intentions, but we may not be counted together." ”
Qiao Siwan had a hint of frost in her eyes: "Cousin, I can't risk Siyuan's life." ”
Lin Yuanxin sighed and swallowed the melancholy in her heart: "You are too protective of Siyuan, and you are reluctant to let him suffer a little." ”
Qiao Siwan smiled, this is really a disaster, this is a banquet and not a shooting range, how do these young masters of the wang clan usually have to follow the rules here, and it looks naturally very restrained. Jiang Yanran's vision is so high, if you want to blame it, you have to blame the men of the Jiang family for being too good, causing her to look down on any of the young men of other people's families. She thought for a while, and whispered to the eunuch on the side: "Go and invite King Mingjun to come over." ”
"Yes."
When Jiang Chi opened the curtain and walked in, all the young men in front of him were startled; hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look into the curtain, but the ladies had all seen Jiang Chi, and when they saw him in brocade clothes and jade belts and his demeanor, they inevitably lit up.
Jiang Chi walked over slowly, and his profound and sparse eyes showed an extremely steady and extremely strong strength, like a gentle and quiet brush with cold light, filling the strength of the stinger; In silence, he did not hide his natural nobility. Even the act of walking is so elegant and noble, so good-looking that people are reluctant to take their eyes off. Jiang Yanran sighed: "Sister, my brother Chi is so handsome, you really have to take care of it." ”
Qiao Siwan smiled and said to her, "If he doesn't have any psychology, why should I worry." If he has already made up his mind, I can see how he can stand it. ”
Jiang Yanran's face showed a puzzled look, Qiao Siwan knew that she couldn't appreciate the intention of this sentence at this time, and she didn't answer much, but just said to Jiang Chi: "Yanran said, a man should be both civil and military, she has already read these young master's words, I don't know how to ride and bow?" ”
Jiang Chi looked at Jiang Yanran and nodded, "Why not give it a try?" ”
Jiang Chi ordered someone to go Jiang Qinwu said a few words, and the Son of Heaven smiled and nodded, and he agreed. Jiang Chi waved his hand and ordered someone to take a bow.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, the people in front of him had not yet reacted, Jiang Chi was already about to take the string and bend the bow, the arrow was on the string, his eyes narrowed into a line slightly, his fingers were slightly loosened, and a sharp roar was heard, and the sharp arrow pierced the air and flew straight towards them.
It happened suddenly, and everyone was stunned.
The arrow was powerful, and with a fierce wind, it immediately shot straight at the pillar in front of it. There were three or four young masters standing under the pillars, most of them didn't know what to do, they were already stupid with fright, some people hurriedly avoided the neighborhood with pale faces, and some people even more impossible, hurriedly pulled the people on the side to block in front of them.
Jiang Yanran sneered softly and shook her head slightly. Qiao Siwan also frowned, Jiang Chi's arrow was still surging. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he noticed a young man in a blue brocade robe, he flew up, lifted the low table next to him to block the arrow, and his body spun lightly and skillfully fell to the ground. The action was as fast as lightning, and the palace people on the side were stunned when they saw him, and they couldn't help but be happy when they saw him landing steadily, and the temporary cheers were like thunder.
Everyone was cheering, and Jiang Yanran's face showed a look of shock, "Qiao Siwan couldn't help but have a headache when she saw that figure, God, it's not good when this kid will come back, but it just so happens that he came back at this time." saw Jiang Yanran cast a pleading look at herself.
Qiao Siwan sighed, lifted the curtain and walked out: "Siyuan." ”
There were cheers, and I didn't expect a beautiful young woman to come out on the other side of the curtain, and many people over there were silent, as if they were stunned. As soon as the young man in the blue robe saw the arrival, he suddenly showed a surprised expression, and quickly ran over and knelt down at her feet: "Sister! ”
Seeing her younger brother who she hadn't seen for many days, Qiao Siwan had a faint tear in her eyes, but she tried her best to hold back; Far-fetched back said, "Why didn't you report me." ”
Jiang Chi smiled slightly and said, "This is a surprise for you." ”
Surprise? It's a fright. Qiao Siwan glanced at him cautiously, and there was infinite charm between his eyebrows.
Not only were those who had never seen her in front of her amazed, Jiang Yan was also staring at her, Qiao Siwan was wearing a jade silver and white dress, which was the shape of the most porridge among aristocratic women, and it was equipped with a gauze made of light golden silk threads, with light markings floating on her head from time to time, because she was included in the palace banquet, she had to wear gorgeous clothes, but she almost had no ornaments on her body, and there was a four-petal begonia in her hair, with nine pieces of white jade, a white jade collar around her neck, and the jade skirt was spread out layer by layer, flashing with a faint brilliance. Most in line with her usual outfit, Ponsuri has a unique beauty that cannot be denied.
Jiang Yan tried to take his eyes off her, but he realized that this motivation was in vain, and there was no need, because from the moment she realized it, no one could take her eyes off, and even when she sat on the back of the curtain, Jiang Yan could clearly see which direction she was. He didn't know why, every woman was dressed in generally beautiful clothes, and when most people were intoxicated by the face of the Rong County Lord, he could only put his eyes on Qiao Siwan's body.
This is not a good sign, Jiang Yan said to himself. A woman who had already been acquired should not have attracted his attention again, and in fact he had done so for all this time, and when he saw her when he thought he was about to forget her, he realized that he had not forgotten her for a moment.
Qiao Siwan was intoxicated with the joy of seeing Qiao Siyuan at this time, and only cared about seeing her brother's slender face, high nose bridge, slightly trembling thick long eyelashes, and sparkling emotions in her eyes. She looked at him, sighed unconsciously, and turned to beckon to Lord Yanran, who was hiding behind the curtain with a red face.
Jiang Yanran was almost speechless, just looking at her feet, not knowing whether she was studying the beautiful embroidered shoes, or looking at how many jade bricks there were on the ground.
Qiao Siyuan smiled and said to Qiao Siwan, "Who is she?" Clearly, he didn't remember this girl who was so fond of him at all.
Qiao Siwan suddenly smiled: "Lord Yanran." ”
Qiao Siyuan looked at the little girl, and saw that she was wearing a moon-to-earth skirt, the pleats of the skirt with pearl brilliance were like a glorious flow on the ground, the color of the moon white called her skin was carved and jade, and the hood was a purple palace veil, and the body was a gold necklace with inlaid treasures, decorated with red, sapphire, pearls and green jadeite, and also equipped with a set of earrings, and the head was also a sixteen-piece inlaid gold hairpin, and a jasper phoenix wrapped in the middle was the most bright and beautiful. He suddenly smiled and whispered to Qiao Siwan, "It looks like a colorful lantern." ”
Jiang Yanran didn't know if she heard this sentence or what, her mouth bulged.
There was a subtle embarrassment and confrontation in the air, and Qiao Siwan saw that these two people were like this, it was Luohua who deliberately lived cold blood, and couldn't help but say to him in a solemn tone: "Why did you come back suddenly?" ”
Qiao Siyuan's expression was solemn, and he said, "Sister, I have other business to do, and I will go to Yanwang's Mansion to answer to you later." ”
