Chapter 86: The Chrysanthemum Feast (7)
Meng Xianya had already told Wen'er about the specific activities of this chrysanthemum banquet, and now seeing Meng Xianya giving herself a look like this, Wen'er had a number in her heart and quietly retreated.
I wanted to quietly follow Xia Mengning's master and servant, but I didn't expect to be seen by myself.
"Brother Leng......" Wen'er walked out from behind the tree and looked at Leng Xiao with disbelief: "I thought that Brother Leng was annoying to me and cold to me, because Brother Leng was so natural, but today Brother Leng was able to smile at a slave, Brother Leng, tell me, did you like the little girl just now?" ”
Leng Xiao always knew that there was someone behind him, and with his skills, it was easy to catch Wen'er, but just now Jiu'er was there, but he hesitated, if he was like this in front of her, I don't know if it would scare her.
"It's not your turn to meddle in my affairs!" Leng Xiao hardly dropped such a sentence, turned around and walked forward, Wen'er stood in place, tears slowly flowed from her beautiful big eyes, and her hands under her sleeves were tightly clenched, why, isn't she as good as a stinky girl who has not dried up, how hard he tried to please him, but he just didn't pay attention to it, ignoring his own good to like others.
Wen'er thought about it, and remembered her previous life, the same identity, why she couldn't get that person's favor no matter how hard she tried, and others could, her mother told her not to fight, but she didn't accept it, what they could do, they could do it, even if they couldn't do it, they could still do it, and they tried their best to prove it to that person, so they endured humiliation and secretly survived, and when they got here, they thought it was a road full of thorns, but fortunately they met him, but why, even he didn't like himself?
Wen'er thought of this, raised her arm and wiped the tears on her face, a pair of beautiful apricot eyes had accumulated a little murderous aura, Brother Leng, don't blame me, blame you for not liking me but liking others, I have no way to watch you being snatched away, no way!
Xia Mengning changed into a water-blue dress, the corners of the skirt are embroidered with layers of water lilies, wearing it on the body will make people look good, this dress is also a new dress that has just been made, Xia Mengning touched the lifelike lotus embroidered at the cuffs, remembering how Xia Mengyou liked this material that day, the depression in his heart was swept away, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Third Miss ......"
A woman's warm voice came from behind her, Xia Mengning turned her head, and before the smile on her face disappeared, she saw Wen'er in front of her.
"The slave maid was sent by the princess to pick up the third lady, I am afraid that the third miss is not familiar with the palace and gets lost." Wen'er had already wiped her tears, and was smiling and saying to Xia Mengning at the moment.
Xia Mengning nodded, her eyes stayed on Wen'er's face, and then smiled deeply, Wen'er only felt a feeling of being seen through, so she had to smile and said, "Third Miss, please." ”
Xia Mengning turned around and continued to walk forward, and Wen'er also followed closely and walked behind Xia Mengning.
"What's your name?" As she walked, Xia Mengning suddenly asked.
Wen'er was shocked, withdrew her hand, and calmed down and said, "The slave is called Wen'er." ”
With that, the two walked to the front of the hall, and when they passed the small stone bridge, Xia Mengning suddenly became a little unsteady, Wen'er hurriedly reached out to help her, Xia Mengning's fingers inadvertently rubbed between Wen'er's wrists, and the speed was so fast that ordinary people were afraid that they would not be able to detect it.
"Third Miss, are you alright?" Wen'er helped Xia Mengning and asked with concern.
Xia Mengning shook her head, "It's okay, thank you, let's go." ”
The two entered the hall, Meng Xianya immediately looked at Wen'er, Wen'er walked to Meng Xianya's side and nodded lightly.
When Meng Xianya saw it, a smile appeared on her face, and she smiled meaningfully in the direction of Yu Ziran.
Xia Mengning came to the center of the hall, first saluted the eldest grandson and the princess, and then turned around and sat down in front of the lyre.
"In this case, let's ask the third lady to play a song for us." Zheng Hanxiu said to Xia Mengning with a smile.
When the eldest grandson Yun saw Xia Mengning coming back, a pair of good-looking phoenix eyes couldn't help but look at Xia Mengning who was sitting there, and smiled lightly, with a deferential attitude.
Yu Ziran, who was on the other side, saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help but secretly grit a mouthful of silver teeth.
'Bang', Xia Mengning's hand played on the piano, the hall was quiet, Xia Mengning stretched out her index finger, as if casually plucking, monotonous syllables flowed out from under her hands, everyone was a little disapproving, this third lady, really didn't know much about the piano.
Yu Ziran's heart was relieved, seeing that Xia Mengning agreed so happily, he thought that he really kept a hand, but he didn't expect it to be such a piano skill.
Just when everyone began to look impatient, Xia Mengning suddenly put out her hands together, her left hand was still the monotonous syllable at the beginning, but her right hand was quickly stroking the strings, connecting the monotonous syllables one by one.
Everyone heard some doorways, and they all calmed down and listened carefully, only to see Xia Mengning's left index finger leisurely picking the strings, and the five fingers of his right hand caressing the strings, the monotonous syllables became a little vivid in the flowing rhythm.
The rhythm came faster and faster, and the originally monotonous syllables were still clearly audible in such a huge rhythm, and everyone unconsciously heard the gods, just thinking that they were wearing armor and holding Jin Ge, riding on a war horse to kill the enemy.
Gradually, the rhythm became a softer tone than before, but the monotonous syllables of 'dong dong' still did not stop, but with the soft rhythm, people walked out of the previous Jin Ge iron horse, imagining that they had returned triumphantly, and at the city gate, standing were their relatives, leaning against the city gate with hot tea in their hands, looking forward to themselves.
The rhythm slowly became smaller, and gradually, everyone could only hear the 'dong dong' sound at the beginning of the song, and everything was calm, as if nothing had happened.
Retracting her hand, Xia Mengning stood up and said softly: "The little girl is ugly." ”
Everyone was still immersed in the rhythm just now, and when Xia Mengning said this, they suddenly realized.
"This song is wonderful, it can be intoxicating and inspiring, it's really wonderful." A prince who was sitting in the banquet stood up and said, looking at Xia Mengning's direction, he only felt that Yiren not only had the posture of a captivating city, but also had a smart and exquisite heart, not only fell in love, but also looked at Xia Mengning's eyes eagerly.
The eldest grandson Yun who was sitting at the banquet looked at Xia Mengning and smiled, it should be a great blessing in life to have such a woman.
Yu Ziran's eyes have become blood-red, what is this, it is obviously his own glory, why did he let Xia Mengning snatch it.
"Okay!" The eldest grandson couldn't help but praise him, and had to say that although he didn't approve of his son marrying her, this Xia Mengning had behaved very well since the beginning, calm and polite, and generous, without the squeamishness of our young lady and the inferiority complex of the concubine, this song just now was even more heartfelt, reminding me of the scene when I went to the battlefield with the imperial brother to kill the enemy, this Xia Mengning is really good!
Zheng Hanxiu looked at the appearance of the eldest grandson, and smiled: "Looking at everyone's performance now, it can be seen that Miss Xia won today's competition." ”
Everyone agreed, nodding their heads.
Yu Ziran's pretty face turned pale, looking at Xia Mengning's appearance, he was angry in his heart, and he almost fainted.
Meng Xianya was also overwhelmed by this situation, looking at the appearance of the eldest grandson, Meng Xianya regretted that she had not been at the beginning, why did she provide Xia Mengning with such a good opportunity, after thinking about it, she was still determined to save it, so she said with a smile: "Wen'er, you go and get the Night Pearl to Miss Xia." ”
Wen'er nodded and retreated, and Xia Mengning walked to the banquet and sat down.
"Ning'er, you were so powerful just now." As soon as he sat down, Liu Shihan beside him hurriedly came up and said, Xia Mengran was also beside Xia Mengning, and when she saw Xia Mengning coming back, she also smiled and said: "The third sister has extraordinary piano skills, she is really powerful." ”
Xia Mengning smiled, and at this moment, Wen'er, who had just retreated, walked up with a panicked face, Meng Xianya saw it and asked, "What's the matter, didn't you go and get the Night Pearl to Miss Xia?" ”
Wen'er knelt down in a panic, "Back to the side concubine, the slave just went to fetch the night pearl you put in the house, opened the box and looked, the night pearl is gone." ”
"What?!" Meng Xianya stood up from her seat and shouted exaggeratedly.
