Chapter 254: Hairpin Flowers and Butterflies
The path is right, but the people who want to avoid it can't. Chu Jiayin originally planned to use this outfit to reduce the interest of the Seven Princes in herself, but who would have thought that because of her maverick and golden rooster independence, she became the most eye-catching in the crowd.
As soon as she took the seat, the Seventh Prince looked over to her.
Chu Jiayin glanced at the front of the banquet, that is, the royal seat, and happened to meet the gaze of his prince. The Seventh Prince smiled at her, Chu Jiayin was shocked, and hurriedly lowered his head, took a sip of the soup on the table, and calmed down.
As soon as the mother concubine of the Seventh Prince sat down, she saw that the two of them were "eyebrows and eyebrows", and the sour taste of Laotan sauerkraut was the opening: "Miss Chu Liu, why did you come here dressed like this?" Look at the palace maids standing next to you, they are all a little more delicate than you. ”
In the past, when the Chu family's business was prosperous and their wealth was extensive, it was impossible for the concubine Niangniang to look down on the Chu family. But now, the Chu family has to rely on a little girl to raise, and if they enter the palace in the future, maybe the Chu family will be defeated, and they will have to pull the legs of the Seventh Prince.
Of course, the biggest reason why the concubine hated the Chu family was Chu Liangshan. Regardless of whether the emperor and his affairs are true or not, the noble concubine only knows that the emperor treats Chu Liangshan more important than everyone in the harem.
If someone has an accident in the harem, the emperor will go to see it when he is free, and if he is not free, he will call the imperial doctor, the guards, the eunuchs, etc. As soon as Chu Liangshan had something, the emperor raised his feet without saying a word, and he really wanted to be a gossip is nonsense, and he was sorry for his eyes and ears, seeing everything he heard.
Chu Jiayin is the Chu family, except for Chu Zhang, who looks the most similar to Chu Liangshan, and has a natural temperament without embellishment. Although Chu Yun has the same father and mother as Chu Liangshan, it is very unfortunate that she has inherited most of Ruan Xiangling's pitiful and pitiful skin appearance from her small family.
The concubine Niangniang has been very favored over the years, but she has to compete with Chu Liangshan and be jealous, the key is that she can't compete with him as a big man, and she is very resentful. Now that you see someone or something related to him, you will inevitably be crowned with the sin of desire.
The concubine's casual remarks made the girls who had already taken their seats laugh. Many people like to base their happiness on the pain of others, and once Chu Jiayin, a person with a beautiful scenery everywhere and a long face, is destroyed, they are the most jealous.
The laughter that filled the back garden was extremely harsh.
Chu Jiayin was not a little annoyed, and replied: "I was too busy at home, and after dealing with the business matters, I didn't have time to change my clothes." I was afraid of delaying the hour, so I came here like this. ”
Someone laughed and said: "I'm afraid I can't get any dazzling outfits, so I just don't do two things, change into a plain one, come and attract people's attention." To be honest, although our well-dressed people are eye-catching, they can only be short-lived. Sisters, look at Miss Chu Liu, her style is completely different from ours, in this crowd, she is the most eye-catching at a glance, and the Seventh Prince must be able to see her at first sight, right? ”
"That makes sense. Seeing that Miss Chu Liu is so young, she has such a big scheming and calculation, sister, I am really willing to bow down. ”
Chu Jiayin has become the target of public criticism, and now it is not good to reply to anything, so he can only remain silent. Suddenly, an extremely nice voice came, which broke the laughter of these women and returned the peace of the world.
Chu Jiayin only felt that there was suddenly an extra bead hairpin on her bun, and the tassel was swaying and sticking to the side of her ear, cold and cold. The owner of the hairpin sent the pearl hairpin bypassed her, walked to the other table and sat down, and then said to everyone: "It's okay to come here like this, my sixth sister is suitable for unpretentious dress." Dressed like a peacock opening the screen, it makes people look uncomfortable. ”
What he said was true, Chu Jiayin and his appearance, deep facial features, eyelashes and eyebrows are just the right amount of thick ink, and the lip color is just right, adding extra color will only make people feel redundant and cumbersome.
"Why is he here?" Someone muttered quietly.
"I don't know."
When the girls saw Chu Liangshan, they had no extra expressions except for jealousy and restlessness. In the early years, when Chu Liangshan first became an official, there were still many girls in the inner and outer cities of Kyoto who admired him, but later he practiced his reputation by himself, and now, everyone thinks that he really likes men.
If you want to say that you really know what he likes, I'm afraid the only one is Qinglou Chu Pavilion. It's a pity that the old wives who gossip about the girls in that kind of place won't go, and most of the men who can go will not be able to clarify Chu Liangshan and act bravely.
They wish that Chu Liangshan had lost face and would no longer be able to gain a foothold in the imperial city.
The concubine's face changed, and the smile on her face was a little flattering, and she said, "Why does Lord Chu have time to come?" ”
"Why aren't you available? When did the mother see that I was not available? This kind of scene is lively, I naturally want to come and see it, Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Seventh won't mind, right? Chu Liangshan came to take a look after hearing from the people on the side of the road about how his sixth sister was doing today.
The bead hairpin that was pinned to Chu Jiayin's bun was asked by Chu Liangshan to a princess in the palace. Chu Jiayin's shirt is not too plain, although it is a pale pink narrow-sleeved tight-waisted skirt, the skirt and sleeves are embroidered with chic patterns, if it is not for these peacocks who have opened the screen, it is definitely a very eye-catching and exquisite dress.
However, there is also a failure, the hair accessory still needs to be brightly colored to support this outfit. The hairpin sent by Chu Liangshan was added to Chu Jiayin's hair ornament before, as well as the hairpin flower obtained from Jing Yan's hand, and the whole person was in good spirits.
The original Chu Jiayin, like a cold and often mournful chivalrous woman, now has a little bit of playfulness.
"How so. It is my son's honor to have Lord Chu free. Niangniang clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and she actually wanted to drive Chu Liangshan away in her heart.
The emperor also came after a short time, he first glanced at Chu Liangshan, and then saw Chu Jiayin. walked to the seat and sat down, and said, "Chu Qing's side, but your sister?" I can tell at a glance that your brother and sister look quite similar. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was nothing, ordinary polite words. But everyone knows that Chu Liangshan's sister in the real sense should be Chu Yun. In the early years, everyone also heard that Chu Liangshan and Miss Chu Liu were competing against each other, and the relationship was very unharmonious. These will be obvious to everyone, whether it is the noise in the street market, or the fight at home!
It's nothing to fight between brothers and sisters, the bad is bad, not long before Chu Liangshan and Chu Jiayin fought openly and secretly, the news that Chu Yun almost killed Chu Jiayin just came out. Let's ask, as a brother, will you really have a solid relationship with the life-and-death rival of your sister who grew up together?
It's like a joke to say that the two of them look alike, or have a good relationship, etc.
"That's nature, it's a dad after all." Chu Yun still has to consider whether it is Chu Zhang's own child, Chu Liangshan's face is very face-giving and tells the world that he is a relative, and he has to tell the world, look, how similar we are, Chu Jiayin is my own sister.
And Chu Yun, who came out of a mother's womb, was pitifully forgotten by the world, and at the same time was abandoned by Chu Liangshan.
The atmosphere quickly got on the right track, the performance of the show, the kind words that should be said, and the concubine selection banquet, which should have been very lively, became a lot weaker because of the initiation of the war. hastily went through a process, and even the talents displayed by those girls were tasteless.
"Sixth sister, what do you say if you are chosen?" Chu Liangshan suddenly approached Chu Jiayin and asked gloatingly.
This guy knows who Chu Jiayin is thinking about in his heart, and he also knows that Chu Jiayin definitely wants to marry her second brother, even if she can't marry her second brother, she definitely won't want to marry someone else.
"What else can I do? Do you give an idea? Chu Jiayin smiled like Chu Liangshan, these two people have looked more similar since then.
The emperor talked to the father of the girl who was performing on the stage for a while, and suddenly turned his head and saw Chu Jiayin, who was facing him, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled evilly at his brother. The unusual ruffian is very eye-catching.
Chu Liangshan only responded to his sister with an eyebrow and a grimace, so he turned back and sat down. Before the emperor's gaze could be withdrawn, Chu Liangshan found out, raised his glass at the emperor, and drank it all.
After the liquor was down, Chu Liangshan's eyelids suddenly jumped, he gritted his teeth lightly, and looked at Chu Jiayin uneasily. Isn't it, if you solve a seventh prince, won't the emperor also look down on the sixth sister?
Yesterday, Chu Liangshan found the Seventh Prince and chatted with him for a long time, and the Seventh Prince had already removed Chu Jiayin from the list of concubine selection banquets. The reason why I want to stare at Chu Jiayin today may be because of Chu Jiayin's outfit, or maybe because Chu Liangshan is not interested in this little girl.
Chu Jiayin only knew the things in her previous life, but she didn't know that in the dark, because of her mistakes, Chu Liangshan reformed and worked hard, and now he has achieved what he is doing. I didn't know that Chu Liangshan, who was sitting in this position, had already known the Seventh Prince.
Under the influence of Chu Liangshan, the Seventh Prince is no longer the one Chu Jiayin knew, the Seventh Prince who fell in love with her at a glance in her previous life.
Chu Liangshan just wanted to give his sister a face last night and take care of Chu Jiayin, who already had a heart. Who knows that after this walk, there is one after another, although he is favored by the emperor, but it is just a playful play between the monarchs and ministers, and the attitude of doing things coincides. If he really wanted to interfere in the emperor's affairs, it was impossible for the emperor not to care about it at all.
Besides, the current emperor hates others to take care of the affairs of his harem the most, even if he doesn't take those women seriously.
The emperor also raised his wine glass in the air, drank the wine in the cup, and finally turned his eyes elsewhere.
