Chapter 194: The Praying Mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Yun'er walked out of the house humming a song.
Ye Changchuan and his wife looked at each other, not understanding what happened to Ye Yun'er, would they be so happy?
Even when she washes and dresses up and even eats, she is always smiling and secretly silly.
But last night, I saw her usually, huh? There was nothing unusual at all. Why is it that after only one night, she seems to be a different person?
But no matter how they asked, she just said that the weather was good in the morning, and her mood improved.
The two couples also believed her.
There is a scene of spring in all directions, and in the imperial garden of the palace, there are even more flowers, bees and butterflies, and they are thriving and beautiful.
Many palace concubines came to the imperial garden in groups to play and enjoy the scenery, so it was not lively.
Princess Yanxi, accompanied by her attendants, walked to the Imperial Garden and wandered around absentmindedly.
After playing for a long time, she met Queen Chen under the reminder of the maid.
Empress Chen was sitting and drinking tea in the pavilion by the lake, chatting and laughing with the girls on the side.
Princess Yanxi hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and saluted respectfully to Queen Chen: "The queen is a good Yaxing, and it is a pleasant thing to taste tea and enjoy flowers here." ”
Empress Chen smiled and said: "I was mentioning you to Lord Ouyang, and you said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, did you say that it was a coincidence?" Well, I'm just going to introduce you to this sister of yours, but since I saw you at yesterday's banquet, she likes you so much that she wishes to be good sisters with you. ”
Princess Yanxi glanced at Ouyang Xiao and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the Ouyang County Lord of Prince Ningwu's Mansion, I have long heard that Ouyang County Lord is the number one beauty in this capital. ”
Ouyang Xiao smiled with crooked eyebrows, "My sister's mouth is really coincidental, she really praised me like a fairy, so unexpected." But I know very well that no matter how beautiful I am, I can't be as beautiful as you, the princess of the Ember Country, which everyone can see at a glance, and no one can argue with it. ”
"You're still a little self-aware." Empress Chen said jokingly.
"What's the matter, it's Lord Ouyang who is humble." Princess Yanxi said humbly in her mouth, but she was as proud as ever in her heart.
It's just that even the first beauty in the capital said so, so how can it be fake?
"Sister, come and sit down." Ouyang Xiao got up and grabbed Princess Yanxi's hand, asked her to sit next to him, and ordered someone to pour her a cup of tea.
Ouyang Xiao praised Princess Yanxi a few more words, and suddenly changed his words and said: "It's strange to say, with such a unique appearance as my sister, how can I make several princes refuse the marriage?" Could it be that they are clumsy and can't see that this is a real treasure? ”
Princess Yanxi didn't expect Ouyang Xiao to suddenly mention this matter, and the smile on the corner of her mouth suddenly froze.
This is undoubtedly after smearing her with honey, and cutting open the old wound here for everyone to see.
As for whether Ouyang Xiao really praised her for liking her, or deliberately embarrassed her, she really couldn't guess.
Empress Chen just drank tea by herself, throwing fish food into the sparkling lake water to tease the swimming fish, as if the two of them were talking about trivial things, let alone entering her heart.
"What did my sister say, didn't this insult a few princes?" Princess Yanxi smiled reluctantly, "Didn't the princes say it clearly yesterday, they shirked the marriage, just because they already had a favorite woman, or they had already agreed to others in private, and there was a candidate for the princess?" Yanxi is a daughter's family, and she can only resign herself to fate, where can she rush to beg someone to marry? I can't bear to forcibly break up the marriage of others! It's all about fate. ”
Princess Yanxi said it so understandingly, and she picked up face for herself, and she had to make others admire her sharp teeth.
It's just that Ouyang Xiao suddenly burst out laughing, as if he had heard a big joke.
Princess Yanxi's face was slightly gloomy, and she finally became a little angry, and said solemnly: "Lord Ouyang, I don't know if there is a sentence so funny that it makes you laugh so much that you can't breathe?" If there is something wrong with my words, please point it out and don't act like you're mocking me. Even though I am a princess from a foreign country, I still have the dignity of this princess. ”
As she spoke, she raised her head, showing a sense of arrogance.
"I'm sorry, I'm not doing it on purpose." Ouyang Xiao couldn't hold back a laugh in the end, and explained to Princess Yanxi, "It's just that you said that the third prince has a candidate for the princess and wants to marry the daughter of the royal scholar, which is reasonable." But the so-called future four princesses used by the four princes as excuses, do you know who they are? ”
"Who is it?" Princess Yanxi asked curiously.
Ouyang Xiao smiled again, "It's okay to tell you, she's just a small boss who sells tofu and soy milk, a humble wild girl!" You are a newcomer and don't know, but we know it, but you fell for the fourth prince, and you didn't know it in the dark. ”
As she spoke, she laughed for a long time.
Even Empress Chen couldn't help laughing.
In this mocking laughter, Princess Yanxi's face was red and white.
She didn't ask anything anymore, she simply stood up and said coldly: "I suddenly felt uncomfortable, let's go back, and I won't bother the queen mother and Ouyang County Lord's Yaxing." ”
With that, she turned and walked away.
She walked as quickly as she could.
A heart is like being pierced by a needle, I don't know if it was tormented by this mocking laughter, or hurt by Mu Yihan's fake prevarication.
It turns out that Mu Yihan's so-called favorite woman is just a businessman?
No wonder when Queen Chen asked him at that time, he kept silent and refused to spit out, because he was afraid that he would not be able to control the scene if he said it.
And what did he see in his own unpleasant eyes, so that he did everything possible to prevaricate?
Could it be that she is a princess of a country, not even a small businessman?
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and the embroidered handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a crumpled ball.
She made up her mind that she must go and see for herself what that little merchant was capable of!
Here, when Empress Chen saw Princess Yanxi walking away, she patted Ouyang Xiao's hand and smiled helplessly: "You, you're so naughty." What should be said and what shouldn't be said has been said by you, if she doesn't pursue it, it's just that, if it is investigated, won't it be so burdensome that the fourth prince must marry her? When the time comes, see how you regret it! ”
Ouyang Xiao stopped laughing, glanced at Princess Yanxi's back with a touch of yin owl-like fierceness in his eyes, and then looked at Empress Chen with a smile, and pouted: "Queen Mother, you love Xiao'er the most, if you ask the emperor to marry Xiao'er and the fourth prince, it's not a matter of your casual words?" It's just that the important thing is to eradicate the fox spirit who confused the minds of the four princes first, so that there are no worries. ”
"It seems that this is a trick of 'praying mantis catches cicadas, and yellow finches are behind', a clever plan to capture the old and indulge?" Empress Chen shook her head more and more helplessly, only sighing that Ouyang Xiao was too smart.
"Niangniang, you can see clearly, it's you who are smart." Ouyang Xiao stammered at the right time, and raised his head proudly, his face full of ambition.
