Chapter Seventy-Three: A Thousand Mouths Are Tongues
"As luck would have it, I don't like this kind of banquet either. But when I saw you today, I felt like I was familiar at first sight, so if I had more time to come to the house to accompany me, would it be good? The tail finger slid over the peony embroidered with gold thread on the sleeve, and smiled, "Poetry and songs, I think I am not as good as you, but I like to develop some refreshments on weekdays." ”
Suppressed the doubts in his eyes and smiled on his face. Princess Shou is actually quite a means, and she has been walking around the harem for King Shou over the years, and enveloping other concubines for her to say a few more kind words in front of Emperor Li.
Compared with the crown princess who was born in the Lin family, both Emperor Li and other clan relatives prefer this exquisite Shou princess Xue family. It is no wonder that over the years, although King Shou has several side concubines, his favor has not surpassed Xue Yanyue.
"Since Niangniang invited, how could Yaoguang refuse. I'm afraid you'll nag me then. Xie Yaoguang took a sip of the teacup, and tilted his lips gracefully.
The conversation was lively, and before I knew it, it was almost noon. The people of the Xue Mansion came to report that the banquet had been prepared, and the nobles were invited to move to the meal.
Princess Shou got up and grabbed Xie Yaoguang's arm, and the two walked hand in hand, but Xie Yaoguang still deliberately lagged behind half a step in order to maintain his respect for Princess Shou.
As for the other people who saw the scene in front of them, they appreciated Princess Shou more and more, after all, with such a beautiful staff next to her husband, I am afraid that they will not be able to live with peace of mind.
What's more, it's a high-powered Shouwang? Princess Keshou is so generous, she is really virtuous and virtuous.
The place where the guests feasted was set up at the water's edge, and the water was pumped to the eaves by a waterwheel, and then flowed down the gap in the eaves to form a curtain of water. And swept away the heat. Walking into the hall, I felt cool and spacious, and the maid properly served sweet and delicious almond tofu after the guests took their seats one by one.
After some of the remarks in the flower hall just now, Xie Yaoguang also had just the right benefit to get rid of his alienation and mingle with them, and the alienation between them gradually disappeared. Suddenly, a pretty dancing girl entered from both sides of the hall, and in an instant with the music, I saw the water sleeves flying like butterflies, and the golden bell was faintly heard ringing between the sleeves and the waist.
Everyone was already familiar with each other, but there was no special formality at this time, and the gossip and anecdotes between the many houses and boudoirs were poured in.
Although Xie Yaoguang was talking to Su Wan and them in a low voice, he still didn't miss a word in the hall, and he thought about it in his heart, quietly wrote down the important information, and the smile on his face gradually became richer.
It's over. Princess Shou invited everyone to enter the garden to enjoy the flowers, but this time she did not specially invite Xie Yaoguang to join her, but let Xie Yaoguang and Su Wan come together. Regarding Princess Shou's kindness, Xie Yaoguang also accepted it with great interest.
"Yaoyao, didn't you see how disgusted Xue Leyan looked at you at the banquet just now." Xu Tianyue glanced coldly at Xue Yanyue's back, and her tone was quite disdainful, "You are a guest invited by Princess Shou to the mansion, and you are not afraid of losing the face of the Xue family like this." ”
"It's Princess Shou who invited me, not the Xue family. Besides, she is young and doesn't know how to count, so the Xue family didn't teach her well. What does it have to do with me?" The sneer in his eyes was suppressed, and he smiled warmly.
Princess Shou treated her with courtesy, and she naturally did not bother with Xue Leyan in return. Frankly speaking, I don't like Princess Shou, but I have never thought of making enemies with her at present.
Xie Yaoguang wanted to avoid confrontation with others, but some people didn't want her to have a good time. Seeing the familiar figure on the stone bridge, I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh, it's really a narrow road.
When I thought about it and planned to take a detour. The sound of footsteps turned into her ears from far and near, and when she raised her eyes again, Xue Leyan had already blocked her way with her crossed arms.
"Xie Yaoguang, you stop for me. Why are you afraid of this girl, you want to run when you see me?" A pair of mighty apricot eyes looked at Xie Yaoguang with disdain, Xue Leyan raised his eyebrows coldly, "It is said that you are so amazing and beautiful that King Shou looks at you differently, I see what do you want to do when you are wearing such a charming fox at all?"
Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but smile. The two sisters of the Xue family are really different, Xue Yanyue is very smart, cautious and cautious, and Xue Leyan is probably spoiled, which only makes people think that she is rude and willful, which is unreasonable.
"Xue Leyan, Yaoyao is a guest invited by your sister. You are so rude to her, the Xue family's face has made you lose everything!" Su Wan pulled Xie Yaoguang behind him to protect him, and raised his eyes to Xue Leyan and sneered.
"My sister was deceived by her too!"
Xie Yaoguang sighed faintly, looked at Xue Leyan with pity in his eyes, shook his head, and slowly tilted his lips, "Second Miss Xue, do you mean that Your Majesty also doesn't know anyone?" Or is it that today's wine is strong, and you are drunk. ”
"Don't press me with Your Majesty! It's clear that you are a fox and a fool, and you are still quibbling here! Seeing that Xie Yaoguang was still pretending in front of her, she remembered that she had been slapped at the spring banquet that day. couldn't help but be angry and wanted to step forward and tear Xie Yaoguang, there was no way to hide the anger and hatred in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and reprimanded, "I have to tear your fox skin today, so that they can all see what you look like!"
Xu was annoyed by Xue Leyan, and Xie Yaoguang's gaze wandered from her. Suddenly, the originally gentle gaze turned into a sharp blade, and the coldness was obviously mixed with a bit of sneering.
"Is it different for the Xue family to raise their daughters? I originally thought that with the good name of Princess Shou Niangniang, the other daughters of the Xue family would not be bad. I didn't think I was wrong. "There was the sound of the eaves bell floating, and the wind came and the shadows of the trees moved. Smuggled with a pleasant fragrance. The eyes are slightly constricted, and the eyebrows of the distant mountains are dyed like a daisy color, but they have their own awe-inspiring edge, which looks particularly weird under the graceful lips.
Xie Yaoguang said in a deep voice, as if a cold intention had soaked into the bone marrow, "Second Miss Xue knows how to write the tongue of 'tongue'?" A thousand mouths are tongues, in fact, everyone has a thousand mouths. And the ghosts of the underworld also prefer to find these people to pull out their tongues, be careful of the misfortune coming out of the mouth~"
The tail note is deliberately elongated, and the moment of the eyes is like a demon laughing and grabbing the world. However, there are many warnings and ruthlessness hidden in the words.
Xie Yaoguang gave Princess Shou face and the Xue family face, but he did not mean that he was happy with Xue Le's face. And when it comes to scoring points without giving face, Xue Leyan is really annoying.
Xue Leyan couldn't get used to Xie Yaoguang's high-minded appearance, obviously the daughter of a merchant family, why could she draw an imperial swallow lottery to make so many people look at her differently, and even such an excellent sister had to win her over. Thinking of this, he felt endless disgust for Xie Yaoguang, and he made a gesture to push Xie Yaoguang.
"Sister Le Yan can't!"
A blue-colored figure hurriedly ran in front of Xue Leyan, stretched out his arm and hurriedly stopped her, and persuaded in a low voice, "Sister, you are so confused." She's a guest of your house, if something happens. The Xue family will be impeached by the officials!"
"Jiang Yuheng, you don't care about my business!" Xue Leyan shook off the hand of the person in front of him and scolded.
