Chapter 108: Birthday Banquet (4)
Xia Mengning and Jiu'er walked out of the hall together, and Jiu'er was worried: "Miss, your feet are not good, how can you dance again?" ”
Helping the red and swollen ankle, Xia Mengning smiled and said: "Today's matter, someone must have set up a situation for us a long time ago, you also saw it, just now above the main hall, the atmosphere is so embarrassing, if I don't agree, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble." ”
Jiu'er was still frowning, "Miss......"
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a palace maid shouted at the door: "I have seen the prince." ”
Xia Mengning thought it was someone else, but when she heard that it was Changsun Yun, her heart couldn't help but let go.
Changsun Yun walked in the door, bypassed the screen and saw Xia Mengning sitting on the side, Jiu'er saw Changsun Yun coming in, so he lowered his head and quietly retreated.
"What are you going to do?" Xia Mengning asked, but saw that the eldest Sun Yun's face was a little dark, pursed his mouth and didn't speak, he sat down beside her and lifted her feet.
Before Xia Mengning could be surprised, she was taken off by Changsun Yun, "Do you know who did it?" ”
Xia Mengning nodded, understanding that the eldest grandson Yun already knew about his twisted foot, and said, "I'm afraid that it can't get out of the people above the main hall." ”
Changsun Yun took off her socks and pressed her fingers on the already red and swollen parts of her feet, Xia Meng shivered in pain, and his hands were clenched into fists.
A hint of darkness flashed in the eyes of the eldest grandson, and he quickly pressed Xia Mengning's head into his arms, "Now you know that it hurts?" On the top of the main hall just now, he promised so simply. ”
Xia Mengning was silent, but there was a warmth in his heart, and he could carefully see her discomfort, which showed that he still cared about himself.
"Then you say, what should I do, if I refuse in court, it will make the Queen Mother unhappy."
Xia Mengning watched Eldest Sun Yun carefully knead his feet for himself, and said slowly.
Changsun Yun sighed, looked at her and said: "If you don't want to, I will help you solve it, why do you always choose to brace hard, do you know, if your foot is not treated, I am afraid it will be very troublesome." ”
As he spoke, Changsun Yun gently pinched his hand on the injured part of his foot, and while Xia Mengning was not paying attention, he made a 'click' sound to bring the bones back to their positions.
"Hiss-" Xia Mengning took a breath of cold air, Changsun Yun let go of her feet, took out a small white bottle from her arms, took the ointment from it and smeared it on Xia Mengning's foot wound, a faint coolness came from between the skin, making Xia Mengning brow rarely.
After wiping the ointment, Changsun Yun took the opportunity to help Xia Mengning put on her socks, Xia Mengning was a little embarrassed, and stretched out her hand to separate Changsun Yun's hand, "I'll come by myself." ”
As if she hadn't heard, Changsun Yun took her hand away and quickly helped her put on her shoes and socks.
"You stand up and try." Changsun Yun stood up and walked to the side, crossed his arms and said to Xia Mengning.
Xia Mengning listened, slowly put his feet on the ground, stood up with the screen on the side, and walked a few steps: "It's really useful, it doesn't hurt at all." ”
Changsun Yun threw her a small white bottle, which was the medicine that Xia Mengning rubbed on her feet just now, Xia Mengning hurriedly reached out to take it, and heard Changsun Yun say: "You keep this and carry it with you, so as to prevent any emergencies." ”
Xia Mengning nodded, at this moment, she had already changed into the long-sleeved dance dress worn by the dancing girl in the palace, the moon-white long gauze skirt rolled with water-red edges, and the head was full of green silk and simply pulled her hair in a bun on the top of her head, most of which were tilted on her shoulders, and the eldest grandson Yun was a little stunned, her little princess had a charming posture at a young age.
Xia Mengning saw that the eldest grandson Yun looked at him without blinking, Rao is reborn for a lifetime, and was also a little embarrassed, coughed twice and said, "Is it strange for me to wear this dress?" ”
Eldest Sun Yun didn't withdraw his gaze, stared at her eyes and said, "The grace is graceful, and the country and the city are captivating." ”
Xia Mengning couldn't help laughing, the shallow pear vortices on both sides of her cheeks were as gorgeous as peach blossoms on the branches, "The prince said that he laughed, there are thousands of women in the north, and they are much better looking than me." ”
Eldest Sun Yun just smiled lightly, but didn't make a sound, Xia Mengning picked up the dance belt from the side and put it on her arms, "It's not a trivial matter to let the queen mother and the emperor wait for a long time." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Changsun Yun and turned around the screen.
As soon as he turned around, he was pulled back by a force, and his face was buried in a warm embrace.
The eldest grandson Yun was a head taller than her, Xia Mengning was wrapped in his arms, and his ears were full of his heartbeat.
"Ning'er......" Changsun Yun whispered, his chin resting on the top of her head and rubbing slightly, "You...... Will you marry me? ”
Xia Mengning was a little stunned, not knowing why Eldest Sun Yun asked like this, and when he raised his head to look at him, he saw the desire in his gaze.
"You...... Why do you ask? Xia Mengning replied softly, looking at Changsun Yun's eyes, she only felt as if she was deeply absorbed, allowing herself to be deeply trapped and unable to extricate herself.
Eldest Sun Yun leaned forward slightly, her warm lips were imprinted on her forehead, Xia Mengning subconsciously closed her eyes, but she did not resist his intimacy as before.
Since the two met, they have experienced so many things together, Xia Mengning's early unconfidence and resistance have long been defeated by Changsun Yun's tolerance and tenderness, when she is alone, she often thinks of his gaze when he looks at her, and the affection in it almost melts her.
The whole room was quiet, only the heartbeat and breathing of the two people remained, and after a while, the eldest grandson Yuncai gently removed his lips and put his forehead against Xia Mengning's, "Answer me, if the emperor gives you a marriage, are you willing to marry me?" ”
Xia Meng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "I am willing." ”
Changsun Yun looked at her eyes, looked at her carefully for a while, and suddenly curled his lips and smiled.
Xia Mengning looked at his smile, vaguely feeling as if she had been hit, she remembered that moonlit night, by the pond in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he used to smile like this, and she was very surprised at that time, in this world, there are people who smile so well.
Eldest Sun Yun's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his sculptural facial features were deep and handsome, and now the lines of his face were softened, which made people can't help but admire.
Xia Mengning looked at him and said, "Why do you ask that?" ”
Eldest Sun Yun blinked, with a smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and his slender index finger pressed against her lips, "I'll tell you later." ”
The two returned to the main hall, everyone had been waiting for a long time, Xia Mengning was about to step forward to explain, only to hear the eldest grandson Yun say: "Grandson just talked to Miss Xia, delayed for some time, and I hope grandmother won't mind." ”
Admitted the matter so generously, everyone on the field was a little surprised, and a few of the daughters of everyone who had been to the chrysanthemum banquet couldn't help but sigh, since the last banquet, the attitude of this prince towards this Miss Xia San is well known, and everyone can see that on weekdays, the prince treats others as cold as ice, but he treats this Miss Xia San very gently.
Wu's eyes turned around the eldest grandson Yun and Xia Mengning a few times, smiled, and did not speak.
Xia Mengning was slightly blessed in the center of the venue, and saw that the palace lamps that had been burning were dimmed, and the windows above the main hall were all covered, and the entire hall fell into darkness.
Everyone was a little confused, and when they were about to shout, they only heard a distant flute sound, the flute sound was ethereal and a little arrogant, which made people involuntarily think of the green bamboo all over the mountains, as if the whole person was immersed in the boundless bamboo forest.
The sound of the flute is getting closer, and a few dancing girls with red octagonal palace lamps in their hands are stepping slowly up, and at this time, the sound of the flute will slowly become fine, like a river in a mountain stream, flowing slowly, and the stream is silent.
At this time, a white light veil floated in the air, and then, a woman in a white shirt stood on top of the white veil, green silk like a waterfall, and a touch of white light veil covered her face, revealing only a pair of water and autumn pupils that wanted to speak, which made people involuntarily reverie.
The woman in white held the cyan jade flute in her hand, and slowly walked between the dancing girls, and everyone realized that the flute sound just now was played by this woman.
The flute sounded weaker, and the court music hidden in the dark played music, only to see the woman in white throwing her sleeves in the air, her slender waist was all down, the wide sleeves were flicked together with the music, the toes were light, and countless petals were suddenly sprinkled on the body, and with the woman's steps, slowly fell all over the body.
At this time, the music suddenly turned urgent, only to see the woman with her left foot as the axis, the delicate body slowly rotated, the breeze with the wide sleeves made the petals on the ground fly in the air, several palace maids stood around, and suddenly threw out a few white light yarns into the air, only to see that the woman in white was light, a little on tiptoe, and jumped on the light yarn, her head was full of green silk hanging down like a waterfall, but her hand was holding a jade flute, and she blew softly.
The flute sound became weaker and weaker, and several palace maids slowly blew out the palace lamp in their hands, only to see that the woman in white suddenly turned around, and actually played the flute while dancing.
Finally, the flute gradually became inaudible, and all the petals in the sky fell quietly to the ground, and everyone took advantage of the faint light to see a woman in white standing on the side like a waterfall, holding a jade flute, like a fairy.
"Good!"
The first to applaud was Changsun Han, and then as the palace maid removed the shield in front of the window, the hall returned to its original appearance.
Only then did everyone react and applaud.
After Xia Mengning finished dancing, she couldn't help but sweat, and she took a few steps forward and fell to the ground, "The little girl danced clumsily, which made the emperor and the queen mother laugh." ”
When Changsun Han heard this, he laughed a few times and said, "Don't be modest, that dance just now can be regarded as a country and a city," and said, and said to the Wu family on the side: "Queen Mother, what do you think?" ”
Wu smiled: "Dancing skills at a young age are exquisite, which is really commendable. ”
The color of Yu Ziran's face changed and changed, she didn't know why Xia Mengning was still dancing even if she sprained her foot, but Xia Mengning's performance just now undoubtedly made the queen mother and the emperor like it very much, thinking of this, Yu Ziran felt worried.
