Chapter 211: Do You Dare to Refuse This King?
"The courtiers thought that this man and woman had to be happy with each other, but the courtiers and King Zhao had only met once, and they really couldn't talk about mutual affection." Chu Yue'an said, "Niangniang understands the changes in the courtier's family and hopes that the courtier's daughter can have a good home, but many things have happened in the courtier's family, and the courtier's daughter is now flawless to consider marriage." Moreover, the princess around His Royal Highness is virtuous, Mrs. Hua is gentle, and the courtiers are reckless and ignorant, so I am afraid that they will not be able to adapt to the life of the heavenly family. ”
"Since you don't want to, it's okay, and this palace is not reluctant." Liu Guifei smiled faintly, "Just think that you have nothing to do with King Zhao." ”
Concubine Liu admired Chu Yue'an, but it was only recently that Chu Yue'an was too close to the Jin Palace, so she wanted to use this marriage to pull her over, thinking that she was in a hurry.
Concubine Liu Guifei no longer mentioned the marriage, but only asked Chu Yuean about the Ninghou Mansion to express her concern, and only when she was tired did she let Chu Yuean kneel and leave the palace.
After Chu Yue'an retired, he was about to leave the Imperial Garden, but he asked King Zhao to block the way, but he didn't expect him to be here.
"I've seen Your Highness." Chu Yue'an was surprised for a moment, then took a step back and saluted, "I haven't seen you for many days, but Your Highness still has the same demeanor!" ”
Yuwen Junqian lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Yue'an coldly, and then pinched her chin with one hand, forcing him to raise his head: "You dare to refuse this king?" ”
"It's the courtiers who are not worthy of Your Highness." Chu Yue'an smiled faintly.
"Excuses." Yuwen Junqian stared at Chu Yue'an and said, "You rejected this king because of King Jin or King Chu?" ”
"What does it have to do with them?" Chu Yue'an smiled lightly, "Women are just decorations and playthings for His Highness, and I don't want to become any vassals, so I don't marry His Highness." Today's courtship is for other men, whether it is the king of Jin or the king of Chu, they will get the same answer. ”
Yuwen Junqian put his hand down, still staring at Chu Yue'an: "You are really a strange woman. ”
"If I were just an ordinary woman, Your Highness might not notice me." Chu Yue'an smiled lightly, "If Your Highness doesn't have any other orders, the courtiers will retire." ”
"Wait a minute." King Zhao looked at Chu Yue'an and narrowed his eyes, "This king will make you willing to become this king's woman." ”
"Really?" Chu Yue'an hooked the corners of his mouth, "Your Highness may fail." ”
Then, she turned and walked away.
Yuwen Junqian stared at her back, his eyes were deep, with a little provocation and desire to conquer.
At this time, a little eunuch not far away persuaded sadly: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this flower is going to be bald." ”
Yuwen Jinghuai looked at the petals on the ground and smiled embarrassedly: "This king saw that this flower was beautiful, and he couldn't hold back for a while." ”
No matter how beautiful you are, you can't be so bad.
Yuwen Jinghuai raised his eyes, and when his gaze met Yuwen Junqian, he smiled first: "Yo, it's such a coincidence, King Zhao is also here!" ”
Yuwen Junqian snorted lightly: "You have the leisure to run to the imperial garden to pick flowers." ”
"There are flowers that can be folded straight." Yuwen Jinghuai smiled lightly, "Look at His Highness's expression, is he deflated?" ”
"It's the king's fighting spirit that has been aroused." Yuwen Jun hooked his lips and smiled, "It's getting more and more interesting." ”
Yuwen Jinghuai touched his nose: "Then I wish His Highness success." ”
Chu Yue'an returned to Ninghou Mansion, and when he thought that King Zhao actually wanted to be his woman, he still had goosebumps all over his body.
Time flashed, it was already April, and the weather was getting warmer and warmer.
On this day, Princess Yu held a polo match and invited the three sisters of Chu Yuean to watch the game together.
The scale of this polo match is quite large, and there are many dignitaries and famous daughters invited to come, and when the car from Ninghou Mansion arrives, it is eye-catching.
Although Chu Yuezi is quite ostentatious in Beijing at the moment, many people already know that she is doing something indecent now, and she is angry with her mother and younger brother, although Ninghou Mansion has long announced that this Chu Yuezi is no longer the third lady of Ninghou Mansion, but this blood relationship cannot be broken, and many people in Beijing still have to watch how the people of Ninghou Mansion deal with this scandal.
When the three of them got out of the car, they were met with a lot of white eyes, and some people commented in a voice that they were afraid that they would not hear: "They dare to appear on such an occasion now, it is because I admire their thick skin." ”
"That is, shouldn't the door not be out of the door at this time? They also came out to attract bees and butterflies, I'm afraid that it's not Chu Yuezi who has a problem, I'm afraid that there is a problem with the family style of Ninghou Mansion, right? ”
"Second sister, fourth sister, let's go back, I see that they may not welcome us." Chu Yuexi whispered.
"Let's sit upright, what are you afraid of, straighten your back." Chu Yueyun said, "We haven't done anything unseemly, so why should we hide and not be able to see people?" ”
As soon as she got out of the car, she didn't walk a few steps, and Miss Huang came to them bewitchingly, slapped her nose a few times with her hand, and said, "What a smell, it smells so bad." It seems to be a commotion, don't the three young ladies of the Chu family smell it? ”
Chu Yue'an smiled lightly: "I didn't smell it just now, but as soon as Miss Huang, you got close, I smelled it, and it was really unpleasant, so how long have you not taken a bath?" ”
"You!" Miss Huang glanced at Chu Yue'an, "You can only play tricks with me now, the reputation of your Ninghou Mansion has long been stinky, if I am afraid that you will find a temple to be your sister-in-law, where will you still show off here, and you are not afraid of making people laugh." ”
"Since we were all invited by Princess Yu, it means that we are all the same." Chu Yue'an said lightly, "Miss Huang doesn't even have to scold herself. Miss Huang thinks that we shouldn't be here because she thinks that Princess Yu's vision is problematic and not as good as you? ”
"Naturally, I don't mean that, it's useless for you to play tricks with me, and you don't look at it, now there are a few people who look down on you!" Miss Huang snorted, "Why did you come here to bring humiliation on yourself?" ”
"I think there are other people who bring humiliation on themselves." A mocking voice came, and everyone followed the reputation, only to see Shangguan Yan and Shen Yimei walking hand in hand.
"What is Chu Yue'an's character, everyone has eyes, so they naturally know it." Shangguan Yan stepped forward to maintain, "It's you, listening to the wind is the rain, do you have a long brain?" ”
Miss Huang was choked up, she didn't expect that after Chu Yuezi was so depraved, there were still people who were willing to get along with the Chu family, so she persuaded kindly: "Brother Yan, the reputation of the Chu family is already rotten, you don't have to deal with them less, beware of being affected by their reputation." ”
"I just said, what a person's conduct is, you have to rely on yourself to identify, not listen to others, I know that their character, at least a hundred times stronger than some people who step on the low and worship the high, they are my friends, I will not alienate them because they have not made mistakes." Shangguan Yan snorted lightly, "They have already come here, they can't ask them to go back, since you cherish your reputation so much, you must be unwilling to be with us, so it's better to go back early." ”
She turned her head to look at Chu Yue'an and the others, and said, "Presumably Princess Yu is still waiting, let's go in first and make a good position." ”
Miss Huang looked at the appearance of several of them talking and laughing, and stomped her feet angrily, this matter made it clear that she had done nothing wrong, why did it seem to be her fault for getting her head!
Shen Yimei looked at her and smiled lightly: "I remember that you were like a good person with Chu Yuezi before, and I wonder if you brought Chu Yuezi badly!" ”
While she was talking, the lord of Xianluo County rode a horse, got off the horse, handed the reins to the guards next to her, caught up with the footsteps of chasing Yue'an, and asked with a smile: "You came in time, Yimei, let's talk later?" ”
One of these three people is the county lord, one is the daughter of the prime minister, and the other is the daughter of the general, and the three of them can get along with the Chu family without any worries.
It's also Miss Huang herself who wants to touch this brow, in fact, there is a good word for human interaction, Chu Yue'an has outstanding medical skills, there will be no time to ask her in the future, why offend her? What's more, at present, Chu Yue'an has been in contact with many noble ladies in the circle because of her excellent medical skills, and offending her will outweigh the losses.
The few people who said cool things before saw this battle now, how dare they say another word, Miss Huang originally wanted to incite everyone to isolate Chu Yue'an and them, but she didn't expect that she would get a bunch of white eyes now, and it was really a waste of rice to steal chickens.
At this time, Princess Yu was greeting a few women, looking at Chu Yue'an and them coming, Ying Ying walked over and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, a few of you came together." ”
Everyone saluted Princess Yu, and Princess Yu smiled: "I have left a good place for you, hurry up and take a seat, this polo game will start later." By the way, after this serious polo game is over, I have prepared some lottery heads, you can form a team and play together, county lord, Miss Shen, you are all all kinds of good players, and you will definitely remember to show your hand when the time comes! ”
The two maids took the group to the position arranged for them by Princess Yu and sat down, thinking that Princess Yu also knew that they were close, and this position was also next to each other.
In front of the position is a bamboo curtain, presumably to separate the gaze of the absolute male guest.
Chu Yue'an looked at it, but there were also a lot of male guests, Shangguan Xun, Qi Yu's brother, and Yuwen Jinghuai, who loved to join in the fun.
When Chu Yue'an was observing the people opposite, another greeting sounded, Chu Yue'an turned to look, and only heard the Xianluo County Lord on the side laughing lightly: "It's still Princess Yu's big face, and this actually invited Princess Zhao, who doesn't like to go out." ”
I only saw a few women hugging a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old woman who came, her woman's expression was a little cold, with a heroic spirit between her eyebrows and eyes, not a beautiful appearance, but only a charm. This kind of bearing has a bit of the demeanor of the mother's world.
Mrs. Hua followed behind Princess Zhao, and under Princess Zhao's aura, she looked a little darker, like a maid.
Everyone stood up and saluted: "I've seen Princess Zhao." ”
Princess Zhao's expression was still cold, but there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth: "You're welcome, it's all polite, sit down." ”
Princess Yu and Princess Zhao sat on the main seat, and Mrs. Hua accompanied each other on one side.
Just watched the sound of the gong, everyone retracted their eyes on the field, presumably this ball game was about to start.
"I'm still watching a polo game for the first time." Chu Yue'an said, "You can tell me about the rules of this ball game later." ”
Chu Yueyun nodded: "And rest assured." ”
"It's a very intense polo match, it's hearty, and you should like it." The county lord of Xianluo said, "You might as well learn it too, and we can have a good discussion in the future." ”
At this time, Shen Yimei whispered something in the ear of the county lord of Xianluo, only to see the look of the county lord of Xianluo was first startled, and then glanced at Chu Yue'an suspiciously and admiringly, turned her head and asked in a low voice: "Have you grown?" ”
"It's a lot of progress." Shen Yimei said, "It's all real kung fu, and there is no showmanship." The boxing book is still with me, I'll ask her later, if she agrees, I'll give you a rubbing, and you will definitely grow if you practice. ”
"Very good." The county lord of Xianluo said, "I also feel that my martial arts have stagnated recently, my father has never wanted me to practice martial arts, and those masters who invited me only taught me the skin, and refused to hand over the real kung fu to me." ”
Chu Yue'an also couldn't help but look at the county lord of Xianluo, if she was really the child of King Qin, then wouldn't this county lord of Xianluo be her sister?
At this time, the polo teams of both sides came on the field, and the spectators also burst into applause.
Many ball games will set bets, but this ball game is more spectacle than confrontational is to avoid this step, a gong and drum sounded, the two sides drove their horses wildly, waved their sticks, and the game began.
Just when Chu Yue'an was concentrating on watching the game, a maid came to her side and whispered, "Second Miss Chu, Princess Zhao is invited." ”
Chu Yue'an's eyes narrowed slightly, Princess Zhao? Isn't it for the incident that Liu Guifei mentioned when she entered the palace two days ago?
After Chu Yueyun on the same side of her spoke, she got up and came to Princess Zhao's side with the maid.
"I've seen Princess Zhao." Chu Yue'an saluted behind.
Princess Zhao turned her head, pointed to the left position she had vacated, and said, "Sit down." ”
"Princess Xie Zhao."
Chu Yue'an sat down, Mrs. Hua glanced at her with a smile in her eyes, and then picked up the wine jug on the table and poured Chu Yue'an a glass of wine.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Princess Zhao looked at Chu Yue'an carefully: "I heard a rumor in the past that the second lady of Ninghou Mansion is not good looking and has a crazy demeanor, but today I see that you are infinitely gorgeous and elegant, and this rumor is also wrong." ”
Chu Yue'an lowered his eyes: "I was indeed crazy for a while before, but the rumors are not necessarily wrong." ”
"I saw you today, no wonder our prince wants to belong to you." Princess Zhao said in a flat tone, "It's rare to see the mother concubine say kiss in person, so I'm more interested in you, but what interests me more is that you have no intention of being with the prince, you are really not an ordinary woman." ”
"Zhao Wangfeng is handsome, and he is a nobleman and powerful, and he is indeed the fast son-in-law of a woman in Beijing." Chu Yue'an smiled lightly and said, "Yue'an's rejection of King Zhao is not because he doesn't know how to lift, it's just that what Yue'an asks for is not quite the same as that of ordinary women." ”
"Oh?" Princess Zhao became interested, "What is Miss Chu Er asking for?" ”
Chu Yue'an smiled slightly and said, "One life and one couple." ”
"It's not common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, if you want to have a couple for the rest of your life, it's too difficult." Princess Zhao said, "Why bother to recognize the reality earlier? ”
"Why do you need to recognize reality?" Chu Yue'an smiled, "Everyone in the world wants women to start from the beginning, I prefer to wait for the man who is willing to end up for me, if I can't wait, I will accept my fate, this is my own choice, it's a big deal to follow the eldest princess to practice for the rest of my life." ”
"You're such a strange woman." Princess Zhao shook her head gently, "If women are like you, wouldn't the world be chaotic?" ”
"It's just my personal choice, I bear the consequences of my choice, and there may not be other women who imitate me." Chu Yuean said.
Jiang Meihua's eyes rolled slightly: "It's not that there are no such men, it's just that you're a step late." Look at the King of Jin, isn't it just the Princess of Jin? ”
"There may not be only one King Jin in this world." Chu Yue said calmly.
"You're being honest." Princess Zhao said, "You dare to say these words, if they are spread, I am afraid that it will be another storm." ”
"The content of today's conversation is only known to the three of us, so how can it be spread?" Chu Yue'an said with a smile, "Since I dare to say these words, I didn't say some polite words that were false and wrongful, so I naturally believe you." ”
"That's it, I won't ask anymore, you can go back to watch the game." Princess Zhao said, "It's time to go to a wonderful place." ”
After Chu Yue'an left, Princess Zhao said to Princess Yu: "No wonder you have been close to her recently, you are indeed not an ordinary girl. ”
Princess Yu smiled: "It is indeed a very special girl. ”
Princess Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said, "It's just to get closer to Princess Jin." ”
"It's just to regulate the body of Princess Jin." Princess Yu said.
"Not necessarily." Princess Zhao said softly, "Let's take a look." ”
Returning to his original seat, Chu Yueyun leaned over and asked, "What did Princess Zhao ask you to do?" ”
Chu Yuean took a sip of water and said lightly: "She just wants to meet, nothing important." ”
"That's good." Chu Yueyun nodded, and then she lowered her voice again, "Although Princess Zhao doesn't like to go out and socialize on weekdays, she is different from Princess Jin who is light and breezy, she is a woman with a lot of means. ”
"There are indeed means, I hope her means will not be put on me." Chu Yue'an said, "How is the event now? ”
"It's a three-to-three draw, you see that the incense is almost burning, and it's about to be the most critical time, let's see who can score the last goal, it can be said that one goal will determine the winner." Chu Yueyun said.
Chu Yuean had seen the playing style of polo in the TV series before, and the on-site ball was much more exciting than the TV series, and it was not inferior to the excitement of modern football.
