Chapter 84: The Chrysanthemum Feast (5)
"The son of the world is good at archery!"
Seeing that the other party shot down his own arrows so easily, Changsun Ye turned his head and said to Changsun Yun: "The prince shoots three arrows at the same time, and his skill should not be underestimated. ”
The eldest grandson Yun smiled nonchalantly, "The prince is too modest." ”
When everyone was surprised by the exquisiteness of Changsun Yun's archery technique, the eldest grandson who was sitting at the top was also a little proud, how to say that it was also his own son, Meng Xianya's face next to him couldn't help but change color, looked at the eldest grandson who was sitting below and was drinking, and glanced at him fiercely.
Changsun Yun, a stinky boy, always likes to be in the limelight in front of everyone, and Li'er too, from childhood to adulthood, nothing can compare to Changsun Yun, now it's okay, this stinky boy is proud, and the prince must not like Li'er even more.
Meng Xianya thought, and the palm under her sleeve couldn't help but clench slightly.
Xia Mengning didn't expect that Changsun Yun would compete for the coral bracelet, but his exquisite arrow just now was really admirable.
"It turns out that the prince is so powerful." Just thinking about it, Liu Shihan, who was beside Xia Mengning, leaned over and whispered: "I thought I was just a gentleman, but now it seems that it is better than those princes and grandsons who deliberately gave it to the prince, at least the prince is open-minded and will not be hypocritical." ”
When Xia Mengning heard this, she couldn't help but look up at Changsun Yun, who was in the center, and saw that the other party was also looking over here with a smile, Xia Mengning couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and lowered her head in a hurry.
The eldest grandson walked back to the table at night, and said slightly apologetically to the frustrated eldest grandson Xinyue: "Brother the prince has done his best, Xinyue won't blame me, right?" ”
The eldest grandson Xinyue's eyes were full of disappointment, and he looked at the coral bracelet on the table with some reluctance, shook his head and said, "Xinyue won't blame the prince's brother." As he spoke, he turned around and said to Ziran: "Sister Ziran, Brother Shizi will definitely give you the bracelet, can you borrow it from me for two days?" ”
When Yu Ziran heard this, he looked at the eldest grandson Yun who was standing there, and hope was ignited in his heart, really, in front of the public, he should still pay attention to the relationship with himself, thinking of this, Yu Ziran felt that hope was ignited in his heart again, and his face began to be happy, and he nodded at the eldest grandson Xinyue.
At this moment, no one noticed the ruthlessness on Changsun Ye's face flashing when he turned around.
"Wait!" The eldest grandson Mo, who had been sitting on the seat, stood up and walked to the center at this time, and said to everyone with a smile: "Since the prince and His Royal Highness the prince have tried, I also want to give it a try, I wonder if the prince has any opinions?" ”
Eldest Sun Yun smiled softly, and a face that charmed all beings made many people look straight in the eyes, "King Mojun wants to give it a try, come here, take arrows, and change targets." ”
The smell of gunpowder in the hall became stronger and stronger, and everyone noticed it, but no one dared to come forward to speak, and they all quietly retreated a lot.
The eldest grandson sat on the seat at night, raised his hand and took a glass of wine into his mouth, his eyes flashing with a cruel light.
The slave took the arrow and the bow, and the arrow target on the other side had also been replaced, and the eldest grandson Yun raised his eyebrows at the eldest grandson Mo: "King Mojun, please!" ”
Changsun Mo is used to a humble gentleman in front of the people, everyone thought he was just the prince's follower, but they didn't expect that Changsun Mo was also good at martial arts, maybe he wanted to argue with Changsun Yun, Changsun Mo took three arrows, and as soon as they were launched, the three arrows were firmly inserted into the red center of the arrow target, and the people present were stunned, and it took a long time to reflect, and they stepped forward and patted their ass.
"What does the prince think?" Three arrows were shot, and Changsun Mo turned around and asked Changsun Yun with some pride, who laughed softly, took out three silver chopsticks from the girl's tray, looked up and said to Changsun Mo: "King Mojun's archery is really powerful, but in my opinion, it is a child's trick." ”
As soon as the words fell, the silver chopsticks in Changsun Yun's hand shot out in unison, only to hear the three sounds of 'Dangdang', and the silver chopsticks broke through the middle of the tail of the arrow that Changsun Mo had just shot, and broke the three arrows in half.
The head of the silver chopsticks is round, and there is no pointed head, Changsun Yun's action really amazed the audience, even Changsun Zhi, who has been sitting upright, couldn't help but slightly the corners of his mouth, revealing a look of surprise.
Looking at Eldest Sun Mo's changed face, Eldest Sun Yun chuckled and said, "King Mojun, concede!" As he spoke, he walked over and picked up the coral bracelet on the table, looked at it carefully, and said, "It's really a good agate jade, princess, and the sons thank you here." ”
Changsun Mo returned to the table, glanced at Changsun Ye with some anxiety, and saw that the other party's face was pale, so he was relieved and didn't speak again.
Zheng Hanxiu smiled, "Okay, okay, the competition is over, let's all eat." ”
Everyone sat back at the table and ate indirectly, Zheng Hanxiu asked the girl to call the dancing girl to entertain the atmosphere, everyone was attracted by the beautiful dancing, and temporarily forgot the embarrassment just now.
Yu Ziran sat on the seat, and didn't know how to put his eyes for a while, everyone knew about himself and the son, but now the son doesn't take himself seriously at all, after today, he will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole capital, so, the uncle will not treat his mother well, and his life will lose hope.
After thinking for a while, Yu Ziran only felt uncomfortable all over his body, and his chest was very tight, so he quietly said to the eldest grandson Xinyue: "Princess, I feel a little tightness in my chest, go out first to breathe, and come back in a while." ”
The eldest grandson Xinyue likes Yu Ziran very much, and when she said this, she also wanted to go out with her, Yu Ziran shook her head, "The princess shouldn't leave casually here, maybe there will be fun later, don't miss it because you go out with me." ”
There are a lot of fresh things in the chrysanthemum banquet every year, and when the eldest grandson Xinyue heard it, he also hesitated, Yu Ziran stood up quietly, glanced at her, and withdrew by himself.
Meng Xianya was thinking about what to do in her heart, when she saw Yu Ziran walking out with a sad face, Meng Xianya's eyes rolled, and she said to the eldest grandson: "Lord, Concubine Rong will go to change clothes first." ”
The eldest grandson nodded, and Meng Xianya and Wen'er retreated together.
Yu Ziran retreated alone, and she didn't dare to go far, after all, she was not familiar with the palace, she slowly walked to the small pavilion at the back of the hall and sat down, dragging her chin and looking at the lake in a daze.
If I can't marry the prince, I'm afraid that the queen mother can't protect herself for a long time, but what is the reason for taking care of the queen mother for so many years, isn't it just to win her favor and find a good home for herself, since the death of her father, all her property has been occupied by the eldest uncle, if she wasn't still in the palace, her mother would have been kicked out of the palace, so since the first day she entered the palace, her mother told herself not to give up the opportunity, and she must coax the queen mother to get herself and her mother out of the sea of suffering.
But what to do now, I am sixteen, the daughter of ordinary people at this age has either been married or has already made a marriage contract, and the matter between myself and the son of the world is only agreed by the queen mother, there is no evidence at all, and now the son of the world is lukewarm to himself, and he also likes someone else, which ...... What should I do?
"The ...... of the Lord of the Child-Dye County"
Yu Ziran was frowning and thinking about how to deal with it, when he heard someone calling him, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Meng Xianya, the side concubine of the palace.
"Concubine Xian." When Yu Ziran saw the comer, his face was indifferent, but he actually didn't want to be interrupted by others when he was thinking.
Meng Xianya saw Yu Ziran's appearance, smiled and walked over to sit beside her, pretending to be concerned and asked, "Lord Ziran seems to be very sullen, I guess, it should have something to do with the prince, right?" ”
Yu Ziran turned his head to look at her, moved his position, separated him from Meng Xianya a lot, and said lightly: "What, Concubine Xian seems to like to spy on other people's hearts?" ”
Meng Xianya covered the corners of her lips with an embroidered handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Where, I just prefer to be allies with others and seek benefits together." ”
Yu Ziran listened, a little puzzled, but just turned his head to look at Meng Xianya, and did not ask.
Seeing this, Meng Xianya coughed twice in a low voice: "You want to marry the prince, but what the prince likes is the girl Xia Mengning, as a daughter's family, it is indeed inconvenient for you to deal with the prince, but how do you know that the prince likes that girl, and it is also the son of the girl who took the initiative to seduce,"
When Yu Ziran heard this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Meng Xianya, who was very satisfied with Ziran's expression, and said with a smile: "Men, they can't help but be tempted, and that girl looks like the one before......"
Meng Xianya said this, but suddenly stopped, Yu Ziran also turned her head a little unnaturally, she knew in her heart, because when she saw Xia Mengning for the first time, she was also shocked, could it be that the prince likes Xia Mengning, it is because of this, it is good, as long as he is not sincere, he still has a chance, besides, what Concubine Xian said is also right, which man can resist the temptation, and there are a few men who are not three wives and four concubines, if they really can't bring down Xia Mengning, it is okay to wronged some people to carry her as a side room.
Thinking of this, Yu Ziran immediately sorted out the stakes, and asked, "Then you mean that you want me to form an alliance with you?" What's in it for you? ”
Meng Xianya smiled, "Xia Mengning is evil-minded, if she marries, it will be difficult to deal with, but if we become allies now, then you will marry your own people in the future, I will worry less." ”
Yu Ziran thought about it and felt that what Meng Xianya said made sense, mainly because she was helpless about the current situation, rather than worrying about herself, it was better to form an alliance with her, even in the future, whether it was her own person or not.
Thinking of this, Yu Ziran nodded and said, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”
Meng Xianya said: "If you want to get rid of Xia Mengning, it is naturally not possible to come hard, we can first let the prince slowly dislike her, and then you will slowly show your advantages on the side, and at that time, the heart of the prince will naturally be on your side." ”
Yu Ziran nodded, and Meng Xianya said again: "I will propose to the prince in a while, and I will say what you are best at, so that you can show your style in front of everyone, so that the prince will see your goodness." ”
Yu Ziran nodded excitedly, if he has the opportunity to show, he will definitely attract the attention of the prince, even if he takes 10,000 steps back, he still can't attract the prince, with his own talent, there are so many princes and grandsons present, there will always be people who like him, thinking of this, he said: "I heard that Xia Mengning is the best at painting, and the others are average, then you will say in a while that you want to try your piano skills, I will definitely beat Xia Mengning." ”
Meng Xianya nodded, "That's very good, then you can go back quickly." ”
Looking at Yu Ziran's back as she walked away, Wen'er asked, "Concubine Fang, are you really going to do this?" ”
Meng Xianya smiled: "As long as the eldest grandson Yun is in the palace for a day, there will be no day for Li'er, heh, doesn't that stinky boy like Xia Mengning the most, then I will let her make a fool of herself in front of the prince, do you think the prince will let him marry Xia Mengning, the eldest grandson Yun's temper is so stubborn, if the prince does not agree, their father and son will definitely fall out, and then I will add fire to it, and the position of the son of the world will be Li'er sooner or later." ”
