Chapter 31: An Zhi is jealous
This bitter voice, with a hint of jealousy, sounded abruptly in the courtyard, interrupting the words of the envoy of the Sivu.
"Who are you? So no politeness? ”
The envoy who came to see himself was interrupted by a woman, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he glared at the person who came angrily, and his words were unceremoniously.
"You! Licentious! ”
An Zhi had never suffered such humiliation, her thin eyebrows instantly turned upside down, and her whole face turned red. The staring apricot eyes were eager to eat them alive.
The corners of Zhaoyun's mouth on the side showed a little coldness imperceptibly, and he stepped forward and said to An Zhi.
"Sister An Zhi, this is the person sent by Prince Mu from Xiwulai......"
"Do you need to tell me?"
An Zhi was angry, turned her head and glared at Zhaoyun fiercely, interrupting her later words.
And Zhaoyun just shrugged his shoulders, smiled and retreated lightly, no longer speaking.
Seeing that Zhaoyun was deflated, the envoy of the Western Vulture wrapped his arms around his thick arms, stepped forward and glared angrily at An Zhi.
"Please be respectful, this is the future princess of our Xiwu! I can't allow you to have no purpose here! ”
"This is Princess An Zhi of Yun Qiguo! Don't be disrespectful, you envoy! Behind An Zhi, a rather tall palace maid dressed in a pink palace dress stepped forward and scolded angrily.
"This kind of arrogant woman will be the princess of Yun Qiguo?" The envoy pursed his bearded lips and shrugged his shoulders with a disapproving look.
"I always thought that the princesses of Yun Qiguo were like Princess Zhaoyun, gentle and virtuous. Gee! I didn't expect it......" The envoy deliberately only said half of his words, but he couldn't help but lead people to reverie.
As soon as these words came out, it instantly added fuel to the fire, igniting the jealousy and anger that gradually spread in An Zhi's heart.
But because the provocates are not only the envoys of Xiwu, but also Mu Xici's subordinates. She couldn't go up or down with this breath that she was holding back, and it was very uncomfortable to freeze in place.
Zhaoyun, who was watching the play on the side, saw that her entire chest rose and fell with her breathing, and the two cheeks with fat powder also turned red, and even the handkerchief in her hand was ravaged by her, which was ridiculous.
Knowing that the envoy of Xiwu was not so easy to mess with, he still stepped forward to provoke out of jealousy of her, and finally annoyed himself like this, which was really boring......
An Zhi was angry for a while, perhaps realizing this, glared at them viciously, and took a few palace maids and left.
Seeing them leave, the envoy of the Western Vulture saluted Zhaoyun again, and continued to signal his subordinates to open the remaining three slightly smaller boxes.
The three boxes snapped and were opened in unison, and the eyes of the onlookers became scorching.
That's three full boxes of neat gold! Yellow and clear, under the light, even more shiny!
"These are all dowry gifts carefully prepared by our three princes for Princess Zhaoyun alone, which shows the sincerity of our courtship and the admiration of the three princes for the princess." The envoy slowly rolled up the gift slip in his hand, grinning at his mustachioed lips and smiling.
After Zhao Yun said a few polite words to him, his eyes gestured to Ming Cui. The little girl on the side immediately understood what her princess meant, took out a few gold barley from her sleeve, and smiled at the envoy.
"It must be very hard to pick up such a few boxes of things, so let's keep this bit of barley for the adults to buy wine and drink." Zhao Yun said politely.
The envoy instantly smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed together, and he bent down to take it respectfully. The upright envoys who were standing on the side also saluted and thanked him.
I secretly slandered in my heart that my own prince was really blessed to be able to marry a princess who was both beautiful and sympathetic.
After a few more flattering words, the leading envoy waved his hand and quickly left with the stout men.
After the palace maids who were watching on the side glanced at each other, they all hugged each other with a smile, and said auspicious words to Zhaoyun one by one.
"I wish the princess a long and happy future!"
"I wish the princess a white head with the prince of Xiwu, Changchun!"
"I wish the princess a melon (die second sound) Mianmian!"
"I wish the princess and the prince of Xiwu a thousand years of harmony!"
"I wish the princess all the best!"
“……”
For a moment, Zhaoyun only felt as if he had fallen into a sparrow's nest, and there was a lot of chatter around. The helpless eyes drifted to Mingcui, who was smiling from ear to ear.
Seeing her master's "pitiful" eyes, Ming Cui smiled even happier. It wasn't until Zhaoyun glared at her that he reluctantly took out a handful of broken silver from the sachet tied around his waist and distributed it to the little palace maids who were full of excitement.
In the scorching sun, the cicadas resounded non-stop in the Zhaoyun Palace. And the Changde Palace in the distance can't avoid this noisy sound.
The inner hall of Changde Palace, which is carved and painted, seems to be like an autumn day, and it is cool.
In the four corners of the inner sanctum, there is a Quartet Ice Jian (han fourth tone).
And this Bingjian is made of fine mahogany, and the pattern on it is imitation bamboo weaving style, all of which are well-cast. The mouth is large and small in the shape of a square bucket, and the waist is tied with copper hoops for two weeks, and there are copper rings on both sides. It is covered with a mahogany cover with carved money-shaped palm-sized holes.
Inside the ice book, there is a whole block of ice that has been stored in winter. At this time, they were turning into wisps of cold air, bubbling out of the small hole, and gradually filling the entire Changde Palace.
Even though the palace was so cool, it still couldn't alleviate the raging anger burning in An Zhi's heart.
"Queen Mother, I have suffered a great grievance in Zhaoyun Palace today." With a nameless fire, An Zhi lay aggrievedly in Changde's arms, crying silently.
Looking at the delicate girl lying in his arms, Chang De stroked her temples and asked softly.
"Who messed with my Princess An Zhi?"
"It's not the scheming Zhaoyun yet!" She looked up, revealing a crying face.
On the face that was powdered with fat, although there were tears, it was not weak at all, and even a little fierce.
The thin eyebrows drawn by the two curved snails should have been more feminine, but because of her eyes that seemed to be quenched with poison, they were raised even more sharply. The face of a little fat powder, but because of the tears that flowed, it had already been mottled into one piece after another. completely lost her usual high-minded appearance.
"Look at you, you're crying like a big cat!" Changde took out a silk handkerchief embroidered with a phoenix with gold silk from his arms, and gently wiped the tears on An Zhi's face.
"Queen Mother, can you not let Zhaoyun go to Xiwu and kiss?" An Zhi took the handkerchief in Changde's hand, wiped it on her face a few times and asked, her tone was quite cautious.
"No!" Chang De sat up straight, and suddenly said, "This matter has been decided, don't say more." ”
"Why do you insist on going to kiss? Do we still have to rush to the West and the Wu? ”
Looking at An Zhi with an indignant face, Chang De felt a little more disappointed in his heart for a while. Leaning slightly on the backrest of the rosewood, he put his arms on the wooden armrests, supported his head, and closed his eyes weakly.
But An Zhi has been immersed in her own resentment, and has not paid any attention to the great changes in Changde's mood.
"It's just a helpless move!" Changde stretched out his thin fingers with finger cuffs and gently rubbed his temples.
"That's exactly what the Queen Mother said!" Luo Ye, who was dressed in a bright yellow dark pattern robe, abandoned the attendant beside him, walked through the socket landscape screen, and strode from outside.
After bowing respectfully to Changde, he sat down on the mahogany chair beside him.
He took the tea made by Mama Wang on the side, took a sip, and then looked at An Zhi, whose eyes were still red and swollen, and his tone was quite weak.
"I don't want to send the princess to make peace, but this is indeed the best way right now."
"Then why do you insist on sending Zhaoyun to make peace? Can't other princesses? An Zhi wiped the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief.
"Have you made enough trouble?" Changde opened his slightly closed eyes, slapped the armrests of the yellow rosewood chairs on both sides, and roared angrily.
As soon as these words came out, An Zhi's tears instantly gushed out like the river that released the turn.
"Queen Mother, you don't hurt me anymore!" only hurriedly left this sentence, An Zhi lifted the corner of her skirt and snatched the door out of the hall.
Looking at the shadow of her running out, Changde was extremely disappointed.
"It's really me who pampered her so much that made her so stupid and stubborn! My heart was full of love and love, and I couldn't even listen to my mother's words......"
After that, he sighed heavily.
Sitting on the side, Luo Ye comforted: "Don't be angry, the queen mother. Later, An Zhi will understand the good intentions of the queen mother. After the marriage, I immediately found a good colt for her, and at that time, she would be completely dead to that Mu Xici. ”
"I hope so......" Changde held his forehead and sighed again.
