Chapter 53: The Bright Moon Shines on the Night
On the second day, Emperor Chu really sent Su Birou out of the palace under the pretext of being sick and went to the nunnery outside the city to recuperate. Then he said to Zhao Heng that he was willing to give other clan girls as wives.
Zhao Heng said that he was obsessed with Princess Chaoyang and was willing to wait.
Hearing this, Emperor Chu also knew that this matter was not so easy, but since he had already sent Su Birou out to recuperate, he could only say that this matter needed to be postponed and decided after some time. At the same time, the matter of Zhao Qingyang and Su Junyan was also temporarily relieved.
After leaving the palace, Zhao Heng had a strange smile on his face. The more Emperor Chu didn't want to marry Su Birou to himself, the more he wanted to get her.
Before coming to Chu State, he heard that Su Birou was the most beloved princess in the court of Chu State. Moreover, she is good friends with all three brothers.
Such a princess is the most valuable.
Emperor Chu didn't want to marry her to himself, but not everything in the world was under his control.
Is there a nunnery outside the city? Zhao Heng hooked his lips and smiled, it seemed that he could go for a walk outside the city.
Su Junyan instructed Gao Wanwan to write an invitation, inviting the dignitaries and nobles in Huichi City to attend the banquet in the mansion three days later, and the Tao was to wash the dust for the old friends Zhao Heng and Zhao Qingyang, the princes of Zhao State. After the invitation was sent out, everyone was surprised and expectant. After all, Su Junyan has been back to China for three years, and he has occupied a place so quickly, but this is the first time that he has held a banquet in the mansion.
Emperor Chu has already set up a banquet for Zhao Heng and Zhao Qingyang, and Su Junyan has also set up a banquet once, it seems that the three princes are indeed old friends with them.
Su Birou was sent to the nunnery outside the city, and when she arrived, she felt that it was quiet and elegant, which was better than being stuffed in the palace for a long time.
Vaguely, she also knew her father's intention to send her out, in order not to let herself marry far away.
She could feel her father's love for her, but she always felt that something was wrong. Over the years, she has also read a lot of history books, and understands that the royal family enjoys supreme privileges and glory, but she must also understand her responsibilities at critical moments. If she had no choice but to do so, she was willing to go to other countries, just for the alliance between Chu and Zhao.
What's more, Zhao Heng looks like a sword-eyed person, but he is also handsome, not very like someone with bad intentions.
That night, when everyone was impressed by Li Zhenzhen's dancing and calligraphy, she listened to the sound of his flute that accompanied Li Zhenzhen.
The sound of the flute is melodious and extraordinarily beautiful. Vaguely, she felt that Zhao Heng was always looking down at her. Later, when the two looked at each other, he even gave her a smile.
Just such a smile made Su Birou pound at that time.
Su Birou has also read some books in private, and those talented and beautiful women seem to be moved at a glance. From then on, even if they encountered many hardships, they insisted on going on with each other.
Could it be that she was also moved, and Su Birou, who realized this idea, immediately blushed. She thought, she was probably stunned.
Three days later, the Three Princes' Mansion was lit up, and all the people in the palace were busy preparing to welcome the guests.
Zhao Wuyan was in a good mood today, because the news from her mother made her feel uncomfortable. She sat down in front of the bronze mirror and had her most beautiful garments and most precious jewelry brought out. It's time to dress up today.
And Li Zhenzhen was sitting in the dark room at the moment, feeling sorry for her Gu worm that was about to develop but died. After spending so much effort, it is clear that it is almost completed, how do you know that it will be gone all of a sudden, how can you not regret it?
She couldn't help but sigh, although she had successfully cultivated two Gu worms last time, this matter also depended on fate after all.
Seeing her like this, Ah Li couldn't help but feel anxious for her. Although it is indeed a pity that the carefully raised Gu worm died, but today is the day when the mansion welcomes guests, how can the princess be so indifferent.
She is obviously half the mistress of the house, but she has a posture that she has nothing to do with herself, and she is afraid that it will be difficult in the future.
"Princess, today we have a banquet for guests." In the end, Ah Li couldn't help but remind.
"So?"
Seeing that Li Zhenzhen was indifferent, Ah Li had to make it clearer, "Princess, you are the mistress of the house, shouldn't you dress up?" ”
Hearing this, Li Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Ah Li, then Zhao Wuyan and Gao Wanwan will naturally dress up and greet the distinguished guests for the mansion, I don't need to do anything." ”
"Princess, you've been like this for a long time. In the future, the entire Huichi City only knows that there are the county lords and concubines of the three princes, but they don't know that there are you. ”
"So what?" Li Zhenzhen said lightly, "Whether they know it or not, I am still in this mansion." Ah Li, people don't need to care about other people's eyes when they live, as long as they feel that they are living well. ”
"But......" Ah Li asked boldly, "Princess, do you think you are doing well?" Master, he hasn't been to our yard for a long time. Are you also trying to find some way to get back the master's heart? ”
Li Zhenzhen shook her head, "Ah Li, you still don't understand. If a man really cares about you, there is no need for any way to please him and pull him back. If a man doesn't care about you, even if he tries his best, he won't get the slightest mercy. ”
Li Zhenzhen's words, Ah Li seems to understand or not, in fact, she doesn't think that it is a good way to please the man she loves. It's just that she knows how deep Li Zhenzhen's feelings are for Su Junyan, and she is worried that the princess will be hurt.
But listening to the princess's current tone, does it seem that she is planning to give up her master? For a while, Ah Li's heart was mixed. Obviously, a few months ago, the two of them were like a pair of beautiful people, why are they suspicious now, and they have the meaning of going their separate ways?
Listening to the sound of silk and bamboo music outside, Li Zhenzhen suddenly said, "Ah Li, you sent someone to tell Brother Jun Yan that my Gu worm is dead, and I am very sad, so I won't participate in tonight's banquet." ”
Hearing this, Ah Li was dumbfounded, the reason of the princess is really capricious. If you really don't want to go, at least find a reason to feel unwell.
"Gong ...... Princess, is this reason appropriate? ”
Li Zhenzhen smiled, "It's about appropriate, it's better than saying that I don't have the heart to go directly." ”
When Su Junyan heard Li Zhenzhen's reason, he couldn't help laughing, but he still couldn't laugh.
Such a willful Zhen Zhen is the girl he first liked. He was glad that he could at least give her a little wayward sky to fly freely.
It's okay if she doesn't show up tonight, after all, there's going to be a lot going on.
Gao Wanwan looked at the clothes and jewelry that Su Junyan had sent her, and the joy in her heart was beyond words. In fact, the third prince was really a considerate person, and he knew that Zhao Wuyan would probably dress up tonight, so he gave himself these gorgeous clothes and jewelry, in order not to overshadow himself.
She still doesn't understand that sometimes a man's thoughtfulness hides murderous intentions.
Gao Wanwan was just full of joy at the moment, sitting in front of the bronze mirror and dressing up, wanting to make herself look extra beautiful for a while.
Zhao Heng and Zhao Qingyang's carriage came to the Three Princes' Mansion, and the housekeeper immediately introduced the guests to the garden of the mansion, where the banquet took place.
Tonight the moon is bright in the sky, the night is just right, and it seems to be a peaceful night. Zhao Qingyang smiled, but is it really as peaceful as it seems? Not really.
Guests came in an endless stream.
Su Junyan stood in front of the window and stood with his hands in his hands. Su Heng walked in and said slowly, "Master, everything is ready." ”
"I see."
The corners of Su Junyan's mouth rose, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
He came to Gao Wanwan's room and smiled at her, "Concubine Fang, let's go together." ”
Hearing this, she smiled shyly, the third prince really treated herself differently. In the future, when he gives birth to the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in his womb, his status will be more stable.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hold Su Junyan's hand. She is the woman he values the most.
By the time Su Junyan and Gao Wanwan arrived, the guests had almost arrived. I don't know why, seeing the two of them in pairs today, and the couple's deep affection, Zhao Wuyan no longer felt dazzling. Because she knew that Gao Wanwan wouldn't be proud for long.
Zhao Wuyan looked at Princess Zhao not far away, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
It didn't take long for everyone to find that Su Junyan's banquet was different. After all, other banquets are basically all silk and bamboo singing and dancing, and his banquet is really focused on one banquet.
Fresh dishes are constantly being served, all of which are full of color and flavor. It not only satisfies the appetite, but also opens the eyes. In fact, such a unique banquet is also interesting.
Suddenly, Zhao Qingyang seemed to be a little overwhelmed and lay on the table. At first glance, it is really indecent.
Su Junyan smiled and said to Zhao Wuyan on the side, "Lord Ting, please wait for Princess Qingyang to rest for a while." ”
It was rare for him to tell her things kindly, so Zhao Wuyan agreed, "Okay." ”
It was probably Su Ri Su Junyan who was so bad to Zhao Wuyan that she actually began to wonder if it was his way of showing favor to her.
Zhao Wuyan ordered the little maid on the side to help Zhao Wuyan, and slowly left the banquet, ready to settle her alive, after all, she was Su Junyan's old friend.
The banquet continued, the staggered and delicious food was also quite interesting.
Suddenly, Gao Wanwan only felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, accompanied by warm liquid, as if she was usually menstruating. She was shocked in her heart, she had been pregnant for several months, and it must not be a menstrual event. In that case, it must be ...... Abortion.
Gao Wanwan grabbed Su Junyan's hand and said with a look of horror, "Third prince, ...... child"
Hearing this, Su Junyan immediately looked down at her, and there were already a few drops of blood on the ground.
He shouted, "Someone, please the imperial doctor." ”
Gao Wanwan was in pain, and desperately covered her stomach, wanting to keep the two children. That was her and Su Junyan's child, it was her hope, how could she leave?
"Third prince, we must keep our children."
Su Junyan comforted her and hugged her back to the room.
As soon as there was a mess here, another servant girl hurriedly ran over from the side of the birth. Ran again and again, shouting, "Oh no, no, Princess Qingyang was pushed into the water by the county lord of Pingting." ”
