90. So bold
"I'm looking forward to seeing you!" The two sat down on the embroidery stool, and Lin Yuanxin's face couldn't hide the joy, two years. She would invite Qiao Siwan to accompany her every half month, but Qiao Siwan was very obsessed with etiquette. Either come to the banquet or accompany the Shen family. In this way, she invited her once or twice out of ten times.
Tao Tian walked up with a tray in his hand, and on the plate was Jiangnan tribute's tea. The wall of the bowl of white jade. The clear tea, the fragrant taste. So he didn't drink it. Just hold it under your nose and smell it carefully. can't help but feel comfortable, Lin Yuanxin has long turned a blind eye to all this, and there is a faint loneliness on her face.
"Cousin, if only my aunt had seen you like this. It's time to talk about you again. Qiao Siwan smiled and shook her head, her voice as cold as water. But with a hint of tenderness that is difficult to detect.
Lin Yuanxin raised her long eyebrows, and her eyes were clear: "That's because my mother doesn't know what my life here is like." ”
Qiao Siwan glanced at Shan Ju and saw that she had sent all the maid rings out. And tiptoed down the curtain. Only then did he look at Lin Yuanxin and said, "Cousin, doesn't the emperor's eldest grandson treat you well?" "No, he treats me best, but he treats everyone well." Lin Yuanxin looked at Qiao Siwan, and there was indescribable silence in her eyes. Qiao Siwan couldn't help but be shocked in her heart.
Lin Yuanxin remembered when Zhou Zhijun married into the mansion. I quietly went to my new home to watch the ceremony, and the bronze mirror reflected the red candles on the three-screen dressing table with lacquer and gold carvings. If the candlelight was red, if the sunset spread, she could only see the bride's blood-colored uniform. His dark hair was crowned with a phoenix crown of red gold, and his chest was embroidered with a trivial and rich pattern, and the magnificent color of blood made people dizzy. At that time, she suddenly understood that the other party and the difference, as a concubine, Zhou Zhijun could wear a blood-colored uniform, and her uniform made it gorgeous. But it can't be bloody. This dazzling red represents a status that no one can shake.
"Wan'er, I'll tell you the truth. In the past two years, he has had a concubine by his side. One side concubine, four concubines, and many women sent by officials at all levels. Lin Yuanxin smiled slightly, fiddling with the lid of the teacup. Xu Xu said", he is the eldest grandson of the emperor. It is necessary to make the rain and dew evenly wet, and a month to this Mohe Zhai. I didn't come a few times. When she said this, her tone was not sad, just faint. On the contrary, it made Qiao Siwan feel a little frightened.
Qiao Siwan looked at the delicate and extravagant layout of the boudoir, and said softly: "It is merit for my sister to win the favor of the emperor's eldest grandson. Ascending high will inevitably have villains who are jealous. He did. It's also a kind of protection for you. It's just that in his voice and smile, he will eventually reveal some true feelings, otherwise his sister wouldn't live in Mohezhai. The placement here will not be second to none in the inner courtyard. ”
Lin Yuanxin chuckled: . You have always been smart and wise, so you can't guess it all. But it's not much worse. He said it and came from time to time. But they still cherish and take care of me. She thought for a moment and smiled. It's already a stretched demeanor", Wan'er. Don't always talk about me, in another five months. You'll have to wait, but what's hope?
Qiao Siwan was slightly stunned. Silent.
Lin Yuanxin didn't think it was a pestle, and only smiled and said, "You have a grandmother x father." It's not my turn to worry about you, their temper. Where will I really think about you, you should think more about the way out" She said this, and suddenly looked at Qiao Siwan seriously. Road. "Do you want to marry into the royal family?"
Qiao Siwan said lightly: "Cousin." I don't have a heart to cling to."
Lin Yuanxin looked at her, and her dark eyes cleared: "Wan'er, you have been here a few times, no matter how busy the emperor's eldest grandson is, he will come every time, don't you see it, he really cooks you." ”
Qiao Siwan was not arrogant or impatient: "Sister." Do you remember? At the beginning, my grandmother had already asked you and me to cooperate in the selection of spring clothes. ”
Lin Yuanxin didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this, and there was a trace of doubt on her face.
Qiao Siwan said lightly: "The original spring dress is the most beautiful, and Wan'er is also very porridge, but it is my sister's favorite, but I will not touch my sister's porridge." ”
Lin Yuanxin was stunned. There was a hint of emotion in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Wan'er." What I have said is not a temptation to you. between you and me. You don't have to say all that nonsense, your psyche. I know it all. I know. If you get married, you will definitely help me. , I still don't want you to marry him. ”
A smile appeared in Qiao Siwan's eyes. At this time, she only thought that Lin Yuanxin was rejecting from a woman's heart, but Lin Yuanxin continued: "Wan'er, no matter how much the emperor's eldest grandson likes a woman, he won't ignore everything for her, he is such a man, he can't cover your heart at all, and he can't give you Zhang Fu." On top of that, I've been stuck in this pond. I don't want you to be able to get out. ”
Qiao Siwan looked at Lin Yuanxin in a daze, the emotions in her heart rolled, and the smile on her face disappeared at that moment. Once again, she realized. The innocent and kind-natured cousin in front of him. It's so amiable and cute. ”。 Thinking of this, she couldn't help but reach out and hold hers.
The psychology of the emperor's eldest grandson, Qiao Siwan is also aware, every time he visits, he will come to this Mohe Zhai. At first, she thought it was an accident. A lot of times. Then she knew everything. It's just that he laughed and talked to them with them. Most of the time, she just sat far away, as if she was watching quietly, but it made it difficult for her to say no words. In all fairness. According to the attitude of identity, being able to marry the emperor's eldest grandson is already the best way out. But even for the sake of her cousin, she refused. They were the only relatives in the world who relied on each other, and she was unwilling to risk the slightest danger of failing her. Not to mention. She was right, the emperor's eldest grandson is such a man. Probably porridge for a woman. Browse a woman. But there is no way to talk about spoiling and distress, so it goes. The younger brother is also one of his many wives and brothers, how much care can he get?
So, as far as Qiao Siwan is concerned. The eldest grandson of the emperor is not the most woman's choice.
"I often invite you to come over, on the one hand, to let you talk to me. More importantly, let everyone know that you are my close cousin, and that you will marry in the future. For their sake, no one dares to insult you in the face of the emperor's eldest grandson. Lin Yuanxin said seriously. The purple phoenix on her body was shining. But it can't compare to the brilliance in her eyes.
Qiao Siwan smiled the gentlest way, and there was a faint warmth in her eyes that was not easy to detect: "These Wan'er are clear, thank you cousin for worrying about me"
Lin Yuanxin takes care of herself, she doesn't know why, because of this. She didn't want to run to the prince's mansion.
"Concubine Lin. It's time for the feast. Shan Ju reminded softly.
Lin Yuanxin stood up with a smile and said to Qiao Siwan: "Let's go, don't be late." ”
The two walked hand in hand. Talking and laughing while browsing the scenery, all the way to the pavilions, the jade bridge lying horizontally, exquisite and prosperous is extraordinary. When walking through a rockery. Lin Yuanxin suddenly stopped, and looked ahead with dull eyes.
Qiao Siwan followed her gaze and looked over, but saw that the lord of Rong Jun was wearing a light cherry blossom red crepe blouse, a long skirt with silver and white outlined treasure patterns, and the whole person was like a touching peach blossom, standing under a willow village with a smile and talking to a man. At this time, the long skirt on her body is shaking against the wind, "such as ripples, and the more accentuated people are more proud than flowers."
Qiao Siwan only glanced at it, and recognized that the man in fancy clothes was the eldest grandson of the emperor, she glanced at Lin Yuanxin sadly, but saw that her face was calm, and the smile on her lips was the most profound.
Lord Rongjun's eyes are full of water, and if he doesn't smile, he is like a laughing spirit, a graceful demeanor. Jiang Yan faced such a woman. Naturally, it is also a variety of patience. The two were talking closely. But he was cut off by a soft call: "Your Highness." ”
Lord Rong was stunned. She tilted her head slightly, and saw two young women standing near the rockery on the side of the pavilion.
In that moment. The smile on Jiang Yan's face deepened. Lord Rong glanced at them, and a natural smile appeared on his face. The sun fell on her smiling brows, as if even her smile was rippling with brilliance, dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes.
At this moment, Qiao Siwan sensitively felt that Lin Yuanxin's bright eyes dimmed.
Jiang Yan walked over quickly and looked at Lin Yuanxin. smiled: "Xin'er is here." "Finished. He looked at Qiao Siwan nearby. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes: "Miss Qiao." You're so hard to invite. Xin'er is looking forward to you. But it's easy not to come. ”
Under his eyes, there seemed to be an inexplicable nobleman. Qiao Siwan smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness cherishes your cousin's heart, it's really admirable. ”
Jiang Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and he was obviously not satisfied with such a light and serious reply, but he knew that now was not the time to speak, so he just smiled and said to Lin Yuanxin. Xin'er. You can help me greet Lord Rong. There are a lot of guests in the front room, and I'm going to go first. ”
Lin Yuanxin smiled and saluted respectfully. "Yes." ”
At this time. Lord Rong had already walked up with a smile. Said: "The emperor's eldest grandson is not worried. Concubine Lin and Miss Qiao. I've known each other for a long time. ”
Jiang Yan smiled and nodded at her, and glanced deeply at Qiao Siwan again. Turn around and walk briskly goodbye. Rong County Lord Ying Ying smiled and said, "Two." It's been a long time. ”
The smile on Lin Yuanxin's face was very light, but there was no trace of inattentiveness: "Lord Rong is in the palace, naturally it is not common to see it. These are the opportunities to have guests like you. Nature is our glory.
Lord Rong smiled and his eyebrows were wet. Don't have a sense of popularity. She said with a smile: "This is also because the Queen Mother has been in the palace for a long time, and she is afraid that I will be depressed." That's why I was allowed to leave the palace, but I didn't want to meet Miss Qiao here. ”
Qiao Siwan smiled: "The county advocate laughed, I just came to join in the enthusiasm."
Lord Rong's smile seemed to be nothing: "I don't know if Miss Qiao saw Lan Xin's wedding." It's a pity that she married thousands of miles away. By the way, she sent me a letter the other day. "Speaking of which. Her words suddenly stopped, and she looked at Qiao Siwan with a smile on her face.
Qiao Siwan's eyes widened. smiled lightly: "The county lord is joking." I don't leave the house. How can it be included? Fortunately, although Miss Chen said that she was married far away. But I heard that her husband's family treated her very well, so this can be regarded as a worthy marriage. I just don't know what Miss Chan said in her letter. Qiao Siwan smiled slightly, her eyes seemed to sweep over her unintentionally, "I won't say that I am not satisfied with this marriage." ”
Lord Rong was slightly stunned. It was actually a fixed color, and he smiled like a flower: "Qiao Xiaowei is really good at laughing, which family's young lady dares to say that she is dissatisfied with the husband she married?" She was surprised: "Could it be that Miss Qiao knows what's going on?" ”
Qiao Siwan smiled slightly and said, "The county lord doesn't know if he has a good relationship with Miss Chen. What's more, how can I know anything about my relationship with her? Hearing the county lord say this, it made Wan'er the most curious.
Lin Yuanxin listened calmly on the side, her face revealing a thoughtful expression. At this time, Qiao Simeiniang gossiped like a commonplace, and said lightly: "When it comes to mentioning, the marriage match event is the life of the parents, whether you are satisfied or dissatisfied, there is no room for the young lady to speak by herself, and she can't run it by herself, Lord Rong, are you right?" ”
Lord Rong was immediately alert. His demeanor suddenly froze, and he was not calm, and said slowly: "Xiao Qiao and Sister are really knowledgeable. In the show of wisdom, the words that come out make it impossible to find a little drawback. ”
Qiao Siwan said as if unintentionally: "It's just that I heard the county lord mention Miss Chen's matter, and I was impressed." Lord Rong stared at Qiao Siwan, knowing that she was deliberately getting close to the emperor's eldest grandson, but she couldn't break out, and all her feelings turned into a faint smile: "Miss Qiao is now famous in the capital, so naturally she doesn't have to worry about finding a suitable person." But she was different. It's eighteen. It's just that I don't want to do it anymore. also has to run for herself, according to her identity, if she enters the prince's mansion, even Zhou Zhijun will have to give way! Therefore, she is determined to get close to Jiang Yan, what's wrong?
Qiao Siwanning said with a smile: "Being a woman is indeed the most difficult, and you must be steady and strict in everything at all times. If it's a wrong step, it's the end of the mountain, so... The more Kong Yin, the more cautious you must be. Lin Yuanxin was slightly moved: "Wan'er is right." It's all predestined. It's not like you can do whatever you want. She said. looked at Lord Rong with a smile in his eyes.
Lord Rong's eyes trembled slightly, and he really lowered his head. She didn't know. How happy is she? The Queen Mother promised her an empty promise, and forced her to wait for a few years, and now she can't wait! What the two of them said to themselves today may not have the intention of prompting, but she Ke Rong is so talented, if she wants to marry an ordinary man, how can she be willing." ”
When the three of them arrived at the banquet, many guests had already arrived, and Lord Rong went to the seat first. Then Lin Yuanxin smiled at Qiao Siwan and quietly pointed to the seat on the side. Motioned for her to sit there. He went to the emperor's eldest grandson. Qiao Siwan looked from afar, and saw Jiang Yan sitting next to him with eyebrows like green feathers and muscles like snow. A woman with a beautiful face and outstanding temperament, a small style of hairpin step shakes densely in her dark green silk. Surprisingly. She turned out to be completely plain. No fat powder was applied to the face. Qiao Siwan immediately recognized that this was Jiang Yan's concubine Zhou Zhijun. Now, she sat quietly beside Jiang Yan. Everyone only saw her, which showed her mellow temperament and amazing complexion. If the lord of Rong County is a beautiful peony in the flower garden. Then Zhou Zhijun was like a Youlan raised in the empty valley, until he married the emperor's eldest grandson, and then attended various places, people just exclaimed that there was such a woman in the Zhou family, but she had hidden it for so many years and did not let others see it. Earnestness is amazing.
watched Lin Yuanxin quietly sit under Zhou Zhijun. A pair of heads bowed. A slight smile of consciousness. Qiao Siwan couldn't tell the truth of her state of mind at this time, whether she was happy or sad. I felt that there was a blank white fog in my heart. Cousin Xin is such a good woman. Once married into the royal family, he can only be so strict and stable in the world, not daring to have the slightest transgression, and even acting according to the expression of the concubine. If she can find an ordinary family, why not."
Qiao Siwan was fascinated by herself, and a pair of bright eyes suddenly noticed in front of her eyes: "Miss Qiao! Jiang Qinghan's voice was the most pleasantly surprised. It was as if a person who had been on a journey for a long time suddenly saw his fellow countryman. The enthusiasm was so good that Qiao Siwan didn't know how to react for the time being, for fear that being too indifferent would hurt the heart of the young county king.
"Miss Qiao, I knew you were here this time!" Brother Jiang Qinghan's generosity was about to say something, but he heard a voice sarcastically say: "King Yunjun, why doesn't Uncle Zhou lock you up." Did you force you to study hard? King Lu's son, Jiang gradually left the most familiar smile and hugged Jiang Qinghan's shoulder. A pair of soaring eyebrows were three points unruly, "Why are you so free to come to Miss Qiao to offer your courtesy!" Jiang Qinghan pouted quietly. What is the dedication? As soon as he had said a word, this man came, and he did not even utter a word of courtesy. The last time he approached Qiao Siwan, it was this person who destroyed it, and instead of pulling Qiao Siwan to play chess, he also recruited Jiang Chi, but now he actually noticed it again, and the serious ghost is still lingering.
Jiang gradually ignored his suddenly gloomy expression. How many smiles did the mighty look bring: "Miss Qiao." Long time no see. ”
This is the opening line. He Jiang Qinghan is almost the same. Qiao Siwan was amused by their funny delirium. He just nodded slightly.
"Miss Qiao rarely goes out, and she doesn't even include such banquets often. Usually there is some kind of pastime at home. Not to be outdone, Jiang Qinghan shook off Jiang Wanli's restraints and asked seriously.
Qiao Siwan smiled slightly. Just about to reply. Jiang Yanli smiled: "I heard that Miss is not very well, I don't know if it is uncomfortable?" ”
Two years have passed. The wound on Qiao Siwan's heart left only a shallow mark. But his body is not as healthy as it used to be. became afraid of the cold, so he almost didn't go out in winter, Qiao Siwan smiled: "It's some old diseases, it's not in the way, it's worrying about the world." ”
"It's right for girls not to go out. What's more, Miss Qiao is about to merge in time, and it's not good to provoke those unorthodox disciples," Jiang Qinghan hurriedly said, "Miss Qiao should take care of her body first." I have a dry ginseng that can be met but impossible to seek, which is the most nourishing for the body. There is another hot spring in the courtyard in the suburbs of my capital, and bathing in this spring can nourish the spirit, nourish the body, and maintain skin and beauty. ””
As soon as his suggestion came out, Jiang Yanli immediately turned cold: "King Yunjun is too contemptible." Sure enough, invite a young lady who has not left the cabinet to live in your other courtyard, and spread the word. You can't be trying to ruin Miss Qiao's reputation! “
"Jiang is leaving! You're getting more and more annoying to talk. I said that I was inviting Mr. Qiao and Miss to go with me, would I do this if I had other plans? What's more, the courtyard is empty and empty, and it is my business to lend Miss Qiao, what does it have to do with you! I'm an idler who has nothing to do all day long, you King Lu is the son of the son, hasn't King Lu recently assigned you several errands? Jiang Qing Yan Han laughed and said, "If you don't do your business yet, what does it have to do with you when I talk to Miss Qiao, you have to stand here." Don't you feel like an eyesore? ”
Seeing that the two of them were about to pinch each other, Qiao Siwan hurriedly smiled and said, "I understand the good intentions of the county king, but the doctor said that I am weak." You can't add tonic without permission, what a treasure the thousand-year-old ginseng is, don't waste it in vain. As for the hot springs in the annex. If you have the opportunity to go again, thank you for your concern. ”
Calamus quietly and Hongyu bit their ears: "They are all Fengying Miss." Hongyu glanced at her and nodded approvingly for the first time, and Calamus's face suddenly revealed a look of yearning.
Seeing that Qiao Siwan refused. Jiang Qinghan's face couldn't help but reveal a disappointing look, but Jiang was overjoyed when he left it, and said with a smile: "I heard that Concubine Lin's grandfather." In the past, the old marquis's calligraphy was the best in the universe, and there was a manuscript in the handwriting left behind, which was the culmination of his calligraphy and was a work of handwriting. It's a pity that last time I asked Hou Ye to borrow a look, but I learned that the manuscript of this book was no longer in Hou's mansion. I can't see it if I want to. ”
The Hou Ye he said was Lin Zhiran, Qiao Siwan's eyes couldn't help but sparkle, and she asked softly, "What the prince said." Is it "Hanzhong Collection"? ”
"Yes. Be. Jiang gradually left to investigate Qiao Siwan's expression and said, "I'm looking for it, has Miss also seen it?" ”
Qiao Siwan nodded. Laughing: "Although the original manuscript has been lost. But I have another handbook over there, if it's Shizi porridge. On the other day, I asked Siyuan to send him to your apartment. ”
"How can this be! No way, no way! It was a lovely manuscript of the young lady. How can I snatch love? Jiang gradually left and waved his hand again and again. I'll pay you a visit, because I have some other calligraphy questions that I want to ask you for. ”
He refused to accept the manuscript. Instead, take the initiative to come to the door. I understand that, so this is a borrowing. I want to enter the house. Jiang Qinghan saw that the situation was wrong, and couldn't help but be a little anxious. Busy said: "I also have questions about this to ask Miss Qiao!" “
As soon as these words came out. Even Qiao Siwan's face showed a look of surprise. Who in Dumen didn't know that Jiang Qinghan was porridge, but he hated reading and writing, and he was about to say something wrong. Suddenly his face was red and his ears were red. Speechless.
Calamus smiled. Eyes sparkle under the eyebrows. Firmly whispered in Hongyu's ear, "King Yunjun is lying." ”
Ruby: ". ”,
What is being said here is being enthusiastic, and Jiang Lingfeng over there sees it all in his eyes, and his always smiling face is more and more comfortable. He said to Jiang Tianye on the side: "Your Miss Qiao is very welcome." Why, aren't you worried? ”
Jiang Tianye groaned, "What kind of joke are you talking about, she is so vicious and dangerous, she is not worthy of lifting my shoes. Then, he smiled and pointed at the beautiful woman beside Jiang Lingfeng. I look at the princess beside you. is several times stronger than her. ”
Sitting next to Jiang Lingfeng was his concubine. Zhao Fangyi, the eldest granddaughter of Wujing public. Now she heard Jiang Tianye say this. Immediately chuckled:. How can I compare myself to Miss Joe. Although she rarely goes out, she can seriously say that she is the number one woman in the capital, and even the lord of Rong County has been a little lacking in the past few years. ”
Jiang Lingfeng couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense." He saw the two men go and offer their courtesy. It's just a taste in my heart. ”
Jiang Tianye laughed even more: "That's it." If you have to say that, I can't help it. ”
"Tianye, then again, if it were me, I would be willing to choose a gentle and compassionate woman, your sweetheart looks weak, but your heart is more upright than a man, it is really impossible to love at all." Jiang Lingfeng's smile was the most narrow.
"A woman who is too docile has no intentions. The more fierce a woman is, the more funny she feels, isn't it? ”
Jiang Lingfeng laughed and said, "Take a look." In just three or two sentences, you'll be exposed. Talking about it. You have been dragging your feet and refusing to marry a concubine. Don't you recognize that you're waiting for her? I'm not kidding you. I'm afraid that this little sister Qiao has a big proposition in her heart. I may not be able to look down on you as the prince of Gong! After speaking, he glanced at the main seat meaningfully, and Jiang Tianye also followed his eyes. Seeing Jiang Yan's eyes, he also looked at Qiao Siwan's location lightly, as if he was paying the most attention.
Jiang Chi lowered his eyes. After taking a sip of wine, he said slowly: "She won't take a fancy to Jiang Yan." With that, he quietly turned back. Forcibly pressed and couldn't help but look at Qiao Siwan's eyes, and the elixir in his throat only felt a chill, and he couldn't taste anything.
At this time, Wang Jiangchi of Mingjun was wearing a dark purple bat casual clothes, wearing a red gold pipe crown, with a long body and a jade body, and a rich and bright spirit. Slowly walk in from inside. It is most striking under the bright sun. It attracted countless eyes at once.
Qian Xiangyu on the table turned his eyes slightly, staring at him, there seemed to be infinite confusion on his face, and he couldn't take his eyes off for half a minute.
Cui Youruo laughed loudly. The small, fair-skinned fingers held an ivory bone woman's fan and shook it one by one, and said softly: "King Mingjun is seriously handsome, rare in the universe. No wonder Miss Qian, you are stunned. ”
Qian Xiangyu came back to her senses. Immediately blushed. The ladies in the neighborhood all laughed secretly.
Xu Mingxi also smiled: "Miss Qian's temper is really frank. "There are a lot of girls who value King Mingjun here. But no one stared at a man so impolitely as she did, thinking so inwardly. He whispered in his mouth, "I heard that once the king of Mingjun went to a banquet." Miss Qian played it in public. This is really from the heart of a city. ”
Cui Youruo pretended to be surprised and let out an "ah". The jade willow leaf pendant in his ear shook slightly. smiled casually and covered the smile on his lips with a silk, and said, "Miss Qian is really infatuated." ”
Qian Xiangyu snorted coldly, carelessly.
That's when it happened. Emperor Sun Jiangyan clapped his hands, and the banquet began.
A young girl with a lute in her breast. Came out from the back of the curtain and sat gently on the embroidery stool. Qiao Siwan looked at her, but she could only see her tiny fingers gently plucking the strings, and then she heard the watery sound flowing slowly from under her fingers, and the pipa music was long and sparse, swaying and intoxicating.
Just the pipa. She didn't play very well, when she opened her voice. But it is like a breeze blowing through the lotus pond. Refreshing and tactful, the most pleasant, there is a kind of beauty of knocking on the crystal and breaking the jade, when people hear it. It seems that every pore is stretched out, and it is warm and cool and indescribably comfortable. Qiao Siwan listened carefully, and only felt that she had never heard such a beautiful voice in her life.
"She is the most popular female musician in the capital, and I heard that even the drama of the teaching workshop is not as good as her!"
Cui Youruo whispered to Qiao Siwan, Qiao Siwan nodded when she heard this, and said. "The singing is truly extraordinary."
At this moment, I heard Qian Xiangyu whisper: "Look! ”
In front of the seat. A man lost his soul and stood up without respecting etiquette, not even knowing that his chopsticks had fallen to the ground. Even if you look at the female music called Miaoyin.
Everyone looked at him in surprise, but Qiao Siwan only glanced at it. recognized this person as Cao Rong, she subconsciously glanced at the woman in a gorgeous dress sitting next to the other party, and sure enough, it was Lin Yuanrou who was wearing a cloud-colored water-patterned Lingbo Tong skirt.
After Miaoyin's song was played, she stood up and saluted, and Cao Rong suddenly stumbled and was about to walk towards her. Lin Yuanrou suddenly pulled him with a shameful face. Only then did he stand abruptly, a look of hesitation on his face.
Jiang Yan glanced at Cao Rong and said with a faint smile: "Young Master Cao, what's wrong?" ”
Cao Rong glanced at Ms. Miaoyin. The face is exposed to the demeanor of Ai Ai. Miaoyin also glanced at Cao Rong affectionately, but when she saw Lin Yuanrou's extremely cold expression, her expression turned white.
See this. Jiang Yan smiled and said, "What does Young Master Cao have to say?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
Cao Rong was ruthless and said loudly: "This lady Miaoyin is my friend." I should have taken her as a concubine. It's a pity that Mrs. forbidden, so that she has nowhere to go, and today I just asked the emperor's eldest grandson to be thoughtful! ”
As soon as I said that. Lin Yuanrou's expression immediately turned red and was about to drip blood. I just felt extremely embarrassed, she already knew that the man she married was not a good thing. But I didn't expect him to be completely different! Such outrageous words can be said in such a place. He made her the laughing stock of the whole door!
Jiang Yan knew the delicacy of the Marquis Mansion, and had the intention to vent his anger for Lin Yuanxin. smiled and said: "It is common sense for a man to have three wives and four concubines, how can your lady not allow it?" Which laws of the Great Calendar Dynasty have these rules? There was a burst of laughter in the hall, the male guests laughed at Cao Rong's nest, and the female guests all hid the laughter on their lips. Lin Yuanrou has always been arrogant, and in the end, she married such a husband, and she secretly sent Qiu Bo to the female music in public, and she didn't leave any room for her daughter-in-law in front of everyone, which really embarrassed Lin Yuanrou's face.
Lin Yuanrou said coldly: "Your Highness doesn't know anything. This is called Miaoyin's women's cheapness, how can I let my husband marry such a woman? ”
Lin Yuanxin was silent, and glanced at Jiang Yan at this time. smiled faintly: "In this case, I want to say a favor for the brother-in-law of the Cao family today, since Sister Rou is worried that this woman's identity is insulting to the family background." His Royal Highness might as well cancel her lowly status and give her to enter the Cao family as a concubine. Isn't it all the best of the best? I wonder what His Highness thinks? ”
Qiao Siwan smiled slightly, and shook her head behind her, who said that Cousin Xin didn't know how to bully people, isn't this the best?
Jiang Yanxi said: "This proposition is good. ”
Over there. Lin Yuanrou stood up suddenly, as if he was about to be angry in public. But I didn't dare. I could only endure it hard, and I almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth.
At this time, Zhou Zhijun on the side said lightly: "Your Highness is a piece of beauty, and I am also happy for Young Master Cao." , what Concubine Lin said, I think something is inappropriate. ”
Jiang Yan was stunned. I couldn't help myself, "If there's anything wrong, tell me about it." ”
Zhou Zhijun said: "Ms. Miaoyin's background, no matter what, is always a little shameless. Concubine Lin said that she would cancel her cheap status. In this way, she can serve Young Master Cao openly and honestly. Even being a slave is a rare grace to her, and it is a wonderful thing. But if she is directly made a concubine, Mrs. Cao is not interested now. Wouldn't His Highness's good intentions affect their harmonious couple. The most important thing is that there is always a truth in this universe that you are a noble wife and a concubine, and what kind of status should be in what kind of status, and it is impossible to be temporarily happy and ignore the norms of the universe. Set a bad precedent for others. I said that I was reckless, and Your Highness forgave me. ”
These few words. Akari is talking about Ms. Myon. In fact, he was talking about Lin Yuanxin. Hinting that she was just a side concubine. Don't forget who you are! Qiao Siwan heard. My heart sank, and I couldn't help but glance at Lin Yuanxin, only to see Lin Yuanxin's beautiful eyes with hazy tears and lowered her head.
A motive party has not been turned. Jiang Yan already smiled and said: "Zhijun is right, since this is the case, I will cut off her lowly status, and as for being a maid and a concubine in the future." He glanced at Lin Yuanxin and smiled slightly, "Let Young Master Cao decide by himself." ”
Cao Rong sat down complacently. Lin Yuanrou's whole person seemed to be ossified, her proud look slowly became decadent, she subconsciously looked into the distance, and happened to crash into Qiao Siwan's quiet and waveless eyes, she couldn't help but move slightly in her heart, and lowered her voice and said to Cao Rong: "If you allow me to do something, I will promise you to let Miaoyin enter the door." ”
Cao Rong was stunned. Suddenly revealed a surprised look. He followed her gaze and looked in front of her, but when he saw Qiao Siwan, who was beautiful and refined, his face suddenly became indignant. is a woman, and he thinks that Lin Yuanrou is a big woman who has captivated the country and the city. It took a lot of effort to ask for a marriage, but at the moment when the hijab was lifted. Realize that it's all a trap. Where is the big woman who married into the door, and understood that it was a dominatrix! Come to think of it. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, looked at Qiao Siwan fiercely, and said, "Whatever you want to do, I will cooperate with you!."
Lin Yuanrou looked at Qiao Siwan, who was in a daze, and the smile on her face slowly became tyrannical, in the past two years, she was looking for an opportunity to take revenge, and now she knows. When it was a very woman's opportunity, thinking of this, she laughed and said, "You will listen to me later." ”,
The women continued to feast, and the men played archery as usual. Try your hand at it.
Qiao Siyuan smiled at Qiao Siwan, then stood up and stepped off the stage, pulled his bow and tried the string strength. Draw three long arrows from the quiver at random. I took two of them and bit them with my teeth. stretched his arm and stretched his bow, and fired three arrows in a row. Cui Youruo probed at the beginning, looked at the target, and exclaimed: "The three arrows all hit the red heart!" ”
Everyone suddenly showed their eyes in amazement. In the past, many young masters had been to the banquet of Qiao's family, and friends still remembered Qiao Siyuan's stupid appearance of not being able to pull the bow, no one would have imagined that in just two years, his bow and arrow skills would really change with each passing day.
Xu Mingxi also sang unconsciously and praised: "Young Master Qiao is so young, he has these archery skills. It's impressive. ”
Qian Xiangyu drank a glass of wine slowly. There was a hint of poisonous coldness in Ru Simei's eyes, "I just regret that I was born in a mediocre background, and I am far worse than the emperor and grandson." After that, he glanced at Qiao Siwan intentionally or unintentionally.
Qiao Siwan didn't take her sarcasm to heart at all. Just staring at Qiao Siyuan from the sidelines, she was oblivious to the cheers of the crowd. I saw Qiao Siyuan flying off the string. Stabbed towards the bright red hearts in the distance.
"Medium!" After each chanting, the soaring arrow tip brought bursts of joy to her heart.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the young but extremely outstanding Qiao Siyuan, and no one saw it, at this time, a person set up a long arrow and pulled the bowstring. Only heard. Whoosh. The bow and arrow were like meteors, and they went straight towards Qiao Siwan with arrogance.
The heroine has a lot of enemies. This arrow, friends guess it is to do it?
The long arrow came so violently and quickly that it did not give people a chance to hide at all, and when it was too late, it was too fast, but only a roar was heard, and something happened to hit the body of the arrow.
"Jingle Bell"
Ruby's exclamation was swallowed raw into her throat. Qiao Siwan only sensed a burst of cold air coming towards her. There is no chance of dodging at all. In an instant, I saw the cold light suddenly fall on the table. The feather slammed to pieces, and the liquor spilled out in all directions. Wet her dress.
She glanced at the scattered tabletop, the long arrow that fell to her feet, and the jade pendant that had been shattered, and her expression was fixed. If there is no interception of this jade pendant. The arrow will shoot straight through the skull. Kill yourself!
Everyone witnessed this scene falling from the sky, and they only felt frightened, and they didn't react to what happened for a long time.
Jiang Yan was furious, stood up suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Who is so bold! ”
Everyone heard it. They all looked into the field. But he saw more than a dozen people standing in the field, looking over here with bows and arrows in hand, the expressions on their faces were innocent or panicked, and they couldn't tell whose bow they shot from Lin Yuanrou watched from afar. The resentful eyes were full of disappointment, and she subconsciously looked at Cao Rong in the field, and that look seemed to be a good sight. Cut him into a thousand pieces! I can't complain about her indignation, so I'm one step away. It's one step away. If only he could move a little faster, he wouldn't give anyone a chance to stop him. Qiao Siwan will break her appearance if she doesn't die! Bemoan. Sure enough, it fell short!
Qiao Siyuan threw away his bow and arrows, and ran over quickly, with a frightened look on his face: "Sister! Are you okay! ”
Qiao Siwan glanced at him lightly and nodded slightly. "I'm fine, I'm not worried," and then he stood up and saluted Jiang Chi's position. He said softly: "Qiao Siwan, thank you King Mingjun for coming to the rescue." ”
Jiang Chi's eyes were deep. I can't see the smugness on my face after saving people. said: "Miss Qiao is not polite, just exactly." ”
When Qian Xiangyu saw such a scene now, she hated that the arrow was not shooting, otherwise she would be able to talk to King Mingjun.
