Chapter 231
Yu Yan was so happy, she had never stayed in the palace, of course, everyone had never had such an opportunity, after all, not every emperor's harem was empty.
Xie Ruqing will not stay overnight at night, but she should ask Qi Wanru to play in the palace for a while before leaving. Yu Yan changed into new clothes and came out to show Xie Ruqing, "Sister Ruqing, what do you think of my clothes?" ”
Xie Ruqing laughed, "You don't dress up well during the day, why do you dress up at night?" Who is this for? ”
Of course, it's for Fang Yanping to see, there is no chance to contact men during the day, and the emperor holds a banquet at night, and they all gather together, although they will not sit with Fang Yanping, but they can be seen from a distance, and if they have the opportunity, they may be able to say a few words.
"Sister Ruqing, you knowingly asked no, of course you didn't show it to yourself!" Yu Yan felt good, raised his eyebrows and said.
Xie Ruqing laughed, this girl seems to have regained her confidence, and she is very confident, this is very good, maybe she will impress Fang Yanping.
Qi Wanru asked, "Does Miss Yu Yan have a sweetheart, do you want me to match it?" ”
Yu Yan's eyes lit up, "Really, Queen Mother, you can't break your word, I, I like Lord Fang, what can you help me with...... Do you want to make a match? ”
Qi Wanru was stunned, as if she didn't expect her to be so honest, when she reacted that her sweetheart was talking about Fang Yanping, she was shocked again, Yu Yan actually looked at Fang Yanping?
"Miss Yu has a very good eye." She smiled, "It's just that there may be more rivals in love." ”
Xie Ruqing laughed.
Yu Yan laughed at herself: "Isn't it the queen mother, I've been chasing him for a long time, and he doesn't even look at me, you say that there are so many good girls, I'm really afraid that he won't see me." ”
Qi Wanru understands Fang Yanping, it is by no means that he looks down on anyone, he is not thinking about this aspect, Miss Yu Yan's conditions are not bad, if there is fate, maybe they can become a pair in the future.
"You don't make sense." Qi said as if he had come over, "Look at my condition, don't you also marry the emperor, so the emotional matter pays attention to fate, I see that Lord Fang is not so particular about appearance, if you have a heart, try to make him feel it." ”
The conditions of the queen today are indeed not enough for the qualifications of a queen, not enough in all aspects, which is also the envy of many people, how can an ordinary woman win the favor of the emperor and become the master of the harem? Those young ladies and ladies, on the surface, seem to be respectful to the queen, but in fact, none of them can look down on them in their hearts.
Yu Yan had this idea in her heart before, after all, everyone said so, and it was inevitable that she would think like this, but after contact, she knew what kind of person Qi Wanru was, and it made sense to be favored by the emperor. So today's queen has a bowl of chicken soup, she is quite useful, no matter what her own conditions are, as long as the two of them fall in love, there is nothing impossible.
The dinner was arranged by the emperor in the imperial garden, which was a very casual family banquet, and there were singing and dancing with wine, which was very comfortable and comfortable.
Yu Yan has been following Xie Ruqing, so that he can get closer to Fang Yanping, and in order to match the two, the queen specially arranged a play session, asking unmarried men and women to beat drums and pass flowers together.
However, this is different from the traditional kind, the queen stipulates that before each drumming, the man and woman each draw out a "flower master", and then if the flower is passed to the woman, then the male "flower owner to ask", on the contrary, if it is passed to the man's hand, then the female "flower owner" to ask, the question can be poetry and songs, or any "flower owner" wants to know the question, if the other party does not want to answer, you must be punished for wine, or send a thing to the other party.
This game is fresh, the young ladies and sons are eager to try it, and some of them are interested, such as Yu Yan, who is looking forward to asking Fang Yanping, or being asked by Fang Yanping, if he can't answer, he can just send him something.
There are a lot of young ladies and sons who came today, and in order to have fun, they were divided into two groups, and Yu Yan was naturally in a group with Fang Yanping, after all, there was an arrangement by the queen. Those who happen to like someone but are not in one group don't have to worry, the two groups are very close, if you are very talented, you will naturally be noticed, and you can ask the sisters of the other group to help with questions, the effect is the same.
There is also Qu Fangmin in the group with Yu Yan, and Fang Qing is in the other group, which is also deliberately arranged by the queen, for fear that the two of them will fight, but Yu Yan doesn't like Qu Fangmin, she is afraid that Fang Yanping will be made difficult by Qu Fangmin.
Sure enough, what are you afraid of, the second game is a coincidence, Qu Fangmin drew the "flower master", and the flower passed to Fang Yanping.
Qu Fangmin hated Fang Qing to death, so she naturally couldn't look down on Yan Ping, and her problem was very tricky.
"I don't know who the woman Lord Fang admires the most, the scope is there." Qu Fangmin asked.
This question made many people sweat for Fang Yanping in their hearts, this kind of question is too private, and they all know that there are many girls who like Fang Yanping, if Fang Yanping says one of the names, then this girl will definitely be hated by others, Qu Fangmin This is obviously a provocation.
Yu Yan clutched her handkerchief and stared at Fang Yanping very nervously, to be honest, she still wanted to know the answer, but she was afraid that the answer was not herself, so it would be too devastating.
Fang Yanping was calm and composed, because he didn't have those twists and turns in his heart, he was naturally open, he looked around at the scene, his eyes stayed on the upper seat for a moment, and there were several ladies sitting in that position. Just when everyone thought that Fang Yanping was surprised by which lady he had taken a fancy to, Fang Yanping said: "The one I admire the most is Mrs. Qingyang Hou." ”
As soon as these words came out, even the other group of people were muted, everyone looked at Xie Ruqing and then at Fang Yanping, and they all didn't want to be crooked.
What's the situation? Lord Fang actually fell in love with Mrs. Qingyang Hou? This news is too shocking, isn't it?
Could it be that Mrs. Qingyang Hou and Master Fang have a leg, or did the two of them once look at each other and were preempted by Qingyang Hou? After all, the Hou family of Qingyang is illustrious, and he is much more powerful than the nameless Fang family back then.
Conspiracy theories began in everyone's hearts, Qu Fangmin secretly sneered, and asked again: "Oh, Lord Fang actually likes Mrs. Qingyang Hou, Mrs. Hou is really good, otherwise how could she get the favor of Qingyang Hou?" ”
Fang Yanping corrected: "It's appreciation." ”
Qu Fangmin smiled indifferently, "No wonder Lord Fang hasn't married yet, it turns out that he has a crush, but Lord Fang still has to think about it for himself, after all, he is now a wife......
"Miss Qu," Fang Yanping interrupted her, "Your words are presumptuous, I'm afraid I can't understand my so-called appreciation, this problem can be passed." ”
"Okay," Qu Fangmin didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and deliberately said something that made people reverie, "It's really useless to say more, and I ask Lord Fang to do it himself." ”
Fang Yanping frowned, he didn't know why Qu Fangmin was so malicious, his answer was originally heartfelt and honest, he did appreciate a woman like Xie Ruqing, but this appreciation has nothing to do with love, let alone a dirty meaning, who knows that it was misinterpreted by Qu Fangmin into such a bad meaning.
This will inevitably cause trouble to Xie Ruqing, what if Qingyang Hou misunderstands?
He subconsciously looked at Xie Ruqing, but saw that Xie Ruqing's face was as usual, as if he was not worried at all, he felt a little more comfortable, thinking that it was really Mrs. Hou, different from ordinary women.
Xie Ruqing was worried in his heart and didn't show it, because the more he showed something, the easier it was to be over-interpreted. What she was worried about was not how she was, but that Yu Yan thought too much, after all, not everyone can understand and appreciate this meaning, and it is not good to think about it a little.
Ma Shi next to him said at this time: "Mrs. Hou, don't think about it, Min'er doesn't mean anything else, she originally wanted to ask Lord Fang if there was an unintentional person for a sister, but no one expected Lord Fang to be ...... Don't think about it, she doesn't mean anything else. ”
Xie Ruqing sneered in his heart, if it weren't for Qu Fangmin's deliberate guidance, no one would think about it much, this girl just has a bad heart, and when she is a mother, she is so maintained, it can be seen that the family style is like this on weekdays.
Qi Wanru said at this time: "Mrs. Qu, if people don't think too much, then they can't say that, otherwise even if Miss Qu is not malicious, the meaning expressed is easy for us to think too much, what do you say?" ”
Ma didn't expect that the queen who couldn't offend people would actually stand up and say these words at this time, her face was a little unbearable, she laughed dryly and said: "The queen is right, I will definitely say that she should learn to speak for others like Mrs. Hou." ”
Xie Ruqing said: "Madame is too famous, you should invite two female gentlemen for Miss Qu." ”
Teach Miss Qu the virtues well, it's not that she can't speak, it's a loss of virtue.
Ma was ridiculed by the queen and Xie Ruqing, and he was very faceless, so he smiled dryly and stopped talking.
The drumming and passing the flowers continued, this time Fang Yanping became the "flower master", and the flowers just happened to be passed to Yu Yan's hands. Yu Yan was still worried about Fang Cai's affairs, she heard that Fang Yanping admired Xie Ruqing, and her first reaction was that she was a little disappointed and a little jealous. But soon she figured it out, Fang Yanping definitely didn't mean that kind of appreciation, but then she was very shocked, after all, Sister Ruqing is really good, if Fang Yanping's vision is so high, wouldn't it prove that she can't look down on her at all?
There's nothing more striking than this.
"Miss Yu?" Fang Yanping called Yu Yan twice, "Can I ask?" ”
"Oh, yes, yes." Yu Yan came back to his senses and listened intently to what he was saying.
Fang Yanping didn't feel sorry for Yu Yan, but just said a poem, telling her to answer the back, Yu Yan just happened to know, and answered very smoothly, Fang Yan nodded with satisfaction in a balanced manner, and praised: "Miss Yu Yan is very good." ”
This compliment made Yu Yan happy again, Fang Yanping actually said that she was good, he had never praised her, was this an affirmation of her?
People are so easily satisfied, a compliment from a sweetheart can make people laugh and forget all the original unpleasantness.
The drumming and passing the flowers continued, I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, this time it was Yu Yan who asked Fang Yanping, Yu Yan thought about several questions in his heart, but he thought of it and vetoed it, but in the end he didn't know what to ask.
She hesitated for a moment and asked a very cautious question, "I don't know what kind of books Lord Fang likes to read on weekdays?" ”
Fang Yanping was stunned, he didn't expect her to ask this, he always felt that Yu Yan was a noisy girl, and he might not calm down to read, but he didn't expect her to be a lover of reading.
Fang Yanping was happy to share books with others, so she recommended a few to Yu Yan, Yu Yan didn't remember much, and there was no pen and paper at the moment, so she planned to ask him in person when she was free.
Fang Yanping had a very high winning rate tonight, and he actually got the flower again, this time it was Miss Liu who asked the question, she and Qu Fangmin are good sisters, Yu Yan couldn't help but sweat for Fang Yanping, and had a hunch that this girl would make things difficult for her again.
This Miss Liu really asked a very personal question again, she asked, "I don't know if there is a girl in Lord Fang's room?" ”
I don't know if I was taken away by Qu Fangmin's first question, and then everyone began to ask some personal questions, the more they asked, the more explicit they became, what is there or not, how many wives and concubines are there at home, what do you usually like to eat, etc., when you get to Miss Liu, you have to ask the girl in the connecting room.
This year, everyone's son, brother, which didn't have a room girl early, it's just that there are more people and some people are less, some fun sons, I don't know how many girls in the room, these girls don't need a name, they can be changed at any time after playing enough, unlike the concubine, who will be said to be flowery, and the main house at home is not happy.
Fang Yanping's style is very positive, after some problems, he is simply a perfect person who can't find fault - he knows astronomy and geography, he has no wives and concubines at home, he only reads and dances on weekdays, and he doesn't even go to the Qinglou, so the girls are even more fond of him. But no matter how perfect a man is, how can he have a girl in the room, Miss Liu can't find his shortcomings, so she asked the girl in the room.
Which Fang Yanping shook his head and said, "No." ”
Now everyone was really surprised, there was no connecting room, what kind of peerless good man is this!
The girls sitting there looked at Fang Yanping's eyes full of stars, and they just wanted to pack up their dowry and marry into the Fang family tomorrow.
Qu Fangmin and Miss Liu both rolled their eyes, and Qu Fangmin asked in a weird manner: "Is Lord Fang afraid that the image of a good man will not stand up so he deliberately said this, how can there be a man who does not have a girl, I can remind Lord Fang that deliberately telling lies will also be punished." ”
Fang Yanping frowned, he thought to himself what was wrong with this girl, why did she always target herself?
Without waiting for him to say anything, Fang Qing from the group next door couldn't help but stand up and scolded: "Qu Fangmin, what do you mean, what do you always do for my brother!" You're not happy to come to me! ”
"Fang Qing!" Fang Yanping reprimanded solemnly: "You sit down!" ”
Fang Qing had been holding back the fire since just now, and she couldn't help it for a long time, let alone Fang Yanping at this time, it was useless for the emperor to stop her, she had to argue with Qu Fangmin to understand!
"What's that your name?" Qu Fangmin chuckled, "I'm asking Master Fang a question, and I haven't talked to him, are you afraid that I won't be able to eat him?" ”
"You're clearly targeting my brother! It's okay to ask questions, but after my brother finishes speaking, you want to misinterpret and deliberately lead everyone to think in a bad place, so you can't hear it? Fang Qing pinched his waist and scolded angrily, "Why don't you ask other men these questions, you are clearly targeting my brother, let me tell you Qu Fangmin, don't think that my family is easy to bully, you just can't target my brother!" ”
