Chapter 240: Argument for Reason
The pair of eyes full of imperative certainty stared closely at Guo Yue, who was sitting opposite, as if Guo Yue was already in his mouth.
Guo Yue didn't notice it for a while, but she actually found that she had become the object of discussion in everyone's mouths, and at this time she found Wu Jinghan's violent eyes staring at her.
Guo Yue actually oozed a thin layer of cold sweat from his back at this time, and the hand holding the handkerchief subconsciously tightened, and looked at Guo Wang with a slight panic in his eyes.
And King Guo's face was calm but he just smiled faintly, and then said: "The eldest prince is really too fond of the little girl, it is just the entertainment used by the daughter's family for recreation on weekdays, how can it be on the stage, I am afraid it will make the prince, the eldest prince and the guests laugh." ”
"This prince thinks that King Guo is too modest, and among the young ladies present, the appearance of Lord Guo Yue is the most outstanding. Why should King Guo be arrogant?
Or is this prince not worthy of appreciating the county lord's dancing skills at all? Wu Jinghan's face changed in vain at this time, and there was a touch of ruthlessness in his eyes staring at Guo Yue, which made Guo Yue's expression suddenly tighten.
Although her face was still cold at this time, her heart was beating nervously, and her heart became more and more disgusted with Wu Jinghan in front of her, who was always trying to target her.
Then he couldn't help but look at Zhao Jinhuai, but found that he was not affected by the situation in the field, and was still sipping the wine by himself.
This made Guo Yue's heart sink a little again, and the injury in his eyes was immediately replaced by jealousy, and then he stood up and said with a light smile: "The eldest prince praised it falsely, Guo Yue is really ashamed." Guo Yue is not good at dancing on weekdays, but the only thing that can be used as a pastime is the guqin, and today I am afraid that it has been surpassed by others. If the eldest prince really wants to appreciate his superb piano skills, it is better to invite the eldest lady of the Protector's Mansion to come and play the piano for everyone, and he will definitely not disappoint the eldest prince. ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted all kinds of eyes around him, Gu **'s thin lips sipping wine rose slightly, and a cold light flashed in his half-drooping eyes, and then he was covered by a light smile, so that people couldn't notice the change in his expression for a moment.
And the eldest prince's face was becoming more and more lonely, but his eyes at this time did not look at Guo Yue, who was smiling and smiling on the other side, but looked at the queen coldly, and the light in his eyes was like a pillar of ice edges, which made those who saw it fearful.
Concubine Sun Xian quickly handed a look to Sun Xiaoyu who was about to get up, her eyes were full of disappointment and reproach for him, but Sun Xiaoyu still insisted on doing so, completely ignoring Concubine Sun Xian, but found that at this time a laughing voice sounded in her ears: "Little sister, why shirk today, let the eldest prince appreciate your piano skills, and then ask Miss Jiang to stroke a song for everyone, which is higher and which is lower, I believe that there will be a judgment in everyone's hearts at that time, Emperor, I don't know what Weichen said is right?" ”
After saying that, Guo Haichen actually ignored the harsh accusation in King Guo's eyes, and instead threw this thorny question directly to Zhao Duqi.
Hearing what Guo Haichen said, Guo Yue's face turned slightly pale, and her eyes stared at Guo Haichen, who was smiling arrogantly opposite, and the handkerchief in her hand was already deformed by her hand at this time.
And Princess Guo on the side was already anxious about the ants on the hot pot, especially after seeing that the eldest prince of Nanyue seemed to be very interested in Guo Yue, which made Princess Guo's brows wrinkle.
No matter what Zhao Duqi had in her heart, she couldn't let her daughter embark on this road of no return, so she frequently glanced at King Guo on the side.
At this time, the queen seemed to pretend not to see the eyes of the eldest prince, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, the county lord Guo Yue is a golden branch and jade leaf, is it undignified to do so?" If it is spread out, won't it make outsiders laugh at our Qing Qilian regardless of dignity or inferiority. ”
After seeing the queen speak, Princess Guo breathed a deep sigh of relief, although she did not directly agree to the queen's request just now, but from the current situation, the queen said these words, but it was much more important than herself, the princess.
"What the queen said is a little inappropriate, this palace brought her own sister Princess Jiyue to Qingqi today, just to learn from Qingqi's first talented girl.
Besides, the performance of this palace banquet is really a bit dull and boring, so why don't we appreciate it with elegance and vulgarity, so it is even more interesting. At this time, Wu Jingqi spoke.
And when everyone heard that he had brought Emperor Lingxiao's favorite youngest daughter Wu Jiyue this time, they all stretched their necks to see the princess's appearance.
And as soon as Wu Jingqi's words came out, even Zhao Duqi was difficult for him to refuse.
After all, who is more noble compared to a county lord and a princess, everyone present knows it.
However, there was a low whisper among the crowd below.
"Sister Zhen, is this Wu Jiyue very famous?" Seeing that Wu Jinghan didn't notice him, Weng Fandie slowly came to his senses at this time, and saw a hint of worry in Wen Rongzhen's eyes, so he asked in a low voice.
And Wen Rongzhen was in the mood to say this to her at this time, so she glared at Weng Fandie angrily, and secretly scolded Weng Fandie in her heart, an ignorant fool, who had never even heard the name of Wu Jiyue, the first beauty in Nanyue, which was really embarrassing.
"Your Majesty, Liu Er was infected with wind and cold yesterday, I'm afraid it is not appropriate to enter the palace at this time." The eldest princess, who had been silent, spoke at this time, reminding everyone that Jiang Yuanliu was not shirking like Guo Yue, but was just ill and could not attend the dinner today.
"Eldest princess, you are too worried, my Nanyue people have always been strong, and few people are infected with wind and cold all year round, this is thanks to a famous doctor, the medicine he prepared is definitely a cure.
If it is the eldest princess, she is afraid that Miss Jiang's attack will worsen her condition, and this prince has a fox fur coat here that is the warmest, and today it should be given to Miss Jiang. ”
I didn't expect Wu Jingyue to come with such a hand, I am afraid that she had already inquired about the news that Jiang Yuanliu was infected with wind and cold and could not attend the banquet today, and this was nothing more than trying to force him out.
"This little marquis is not talented, but I don't know why the Ten Princes have to let the sick go out today?" Gu ** put down the wine glass in his hand at this time, smiling, but his eyes revealed a cold light that could not be ignored.
If you accidentally meet his eyes, you will definitely fall into those deep eyes, but although these eyes are beautiful, they are extremely cold, and people can't help but be afraid.
It made Wu Jingyue, a person who has suffered losses at the hands of Gu ** many times, vigilant.
"Little Hou Ye doesn't know, these ten brothers in this palace have never forgotten Miss Jiang since they saw him, and now they just borrowed an excuse to see Miss Jiang." Wu Jingqi saw that Wu Jingyue didn't know what to say for a while, so she answered for him.
The pair of deep and gloomy eyes and Gu **'s calm and calm eyes collided in mid-air, and there seemed to be sparks splashing, but the mouths of the two were almost at the same time with a sneer that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, which made people completely unable to understand the meaning.
"Qingqi folk style has always been restrained, naturally not as open as Nanyue folk style, and everyone's ladies are rarely showing off their talents in front of people, and now Miss Jiang is sick again, I'm afraid that today I can't fulfill the wishes of the ten princes." But everyone didn't want to, when Gu ** was competing with Wu Jingqi, Sun Xiaoyu actually said unprecedentedly at this time.
For a while, the banquet hall was quiet, and even the music just now gradually stopped, and the concubine's finger joints were white at this time, and she couldn't wait to immediately call Sun Xiaoyu in front of her to reprimand her.
Zhao Yuhuai also opened his mouth at this time and agreed, the queen sitting on the upper seat didn't expect her son to speak too, and her face was extremely ugly for a while.
Previously, Zhao Yuhuai actually wanted to make Jiang Yuanliu the concubine, and said that the power of the protector of the country is also of great benefit to herself, although the queen is also greedy for the power in Jiang Fengmao's hands, but she has always had a prejudice against Jiang Yuanliu, and in addition to the relationship between the Fuguo Mansion and the eldest princess, if she marries such a daughter-in-law, then she will definitely not be comfortable in the future.
Gu ** looked at Zhao Yuhuai with a light smile, and his voice was like a warm spring breeze blowing across the earth: "I didn't expect the eldest prince, Sun Gongzi and I actually reached a consensus." ”
But Sun Xiaoyu didn't pay much attention to Gu **, just stared at Wu Jingqi on the other side, and continued to speak: "Besides, it is also rude for a VIP to let Miss Jiang meet guests with a sick appearance. The crown prince is the national capital of Nanyue, and I believe that these most basic etiquette rules do not need to be brought by the prince one by one. ”
"In this way, Sun Gongzi and Gu Xiaohou are unwilling to sell the face of this palace today? I didn't expect the two of them to stand up for Miss Jiang, this friendship is really admirable. Wu Jingqi was not annoyed but smiled generously, and then threw out a reverie sentence, which immediately caused a panic among the young ladies opposite.
After all, when Guo Yue was in distress just now, except for King Guo, she didn't see anyone to speak for her.
But when it was Jiang Yuanliu's turn, Gu **, Sun Xiaoyu and even the eldest prince all got on the pole to shirk her, which caused envy and hatred in the hearts of the daughters of all families for a while.
Everyone's backgrounds are obviously similar, why is Jiang Yuanliu so good to get the favor of these people.
And the concubine had a completely cold face after Sun Xiaoyu finished speaking.
Concubine Sun Xian looked at Sun Xiaoyu with hatred at this time, but she didn't expect him to offend the Nanyue royal family and Guo Wangfu for Jiang Yuanliu.
"Cui'er, you go and bring the young master a cup of sobering tea, the young master seems to be drunk." There was silence in the field, but Concubine Sun Xian's voice sounded slowly, and then she saw a palace maid beside her, immediately picked up a cup of hot tea, walked towards Sun Heyun, and then respectfully held it in front of Sun Xiaoyu, "Young master, please use tea." ”
