Chapter 15: The Liquor Order
Crabs are beautiful, men are more beautiful. The women were either reserved or bold in their attempts to attract the attention of the only male protagonist, and the delicacies on the table were ignored. Only Yan Yue ate from beginning to end, fiddling with those crab-eating gadgets, eating leisurely, elegantly and comfortably, but only Yan Yue clearly knew that all her senses were paying attention to that man and paying attention to that man's every move.
"Your Majesty, if we don't make a wine order, the sisters have already made a poem just now, why don't we guess the word puzzle this time?" The eldest concubine said gently, Murong Yan smiled and nodded, and everyone smiled and agreed. Then everyone clarified the rules of the liquor order. It is the first person to make a riddle and the second person to guess. If you guess, the second person will give the third person a riddle, and the person who can't guess will be punished with a glass of wine. And so on, and so on.
Yan Yue couldn't help but be annoyed, the ancients were so elegant, eating a crab and guessing a word puzzle with a poem, these women are indeed idle and have nothing to do! And Yan Yue basically didn't know anything about anagrams, and it was estimated that Yan Yue only had to drink. The key to drinking is not terrible, the terrible thing is that Yan Yue herself can't come up with anagrams. Yan Yue searched her intestines and thought about it for a long time, and she was a little annoyed that this Yan Yue's predecessor had nothing but the experience of masochism.
"The emperor will give the sisters a start this time, right?" The eldest concubine pleaded gently. Murong Yan nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "This word is extraordinary, there are four strokes, no horizontal, no straight, no hook, and the saint will salute when he sees it." Yan Yue couldn't help pouting, this kind of word game is not difficult, the key is that she has never played it, it always takes some time to think about it slowly, it doesn't matter if you drink, it is estimated that you will be laughed at by these people again.
Wan Guifei's voice came from his ears: "The emperor favors Sister Gu every time, for fear that Sister Gu will drink." Before Yan Yue had time to raise her head, she heard Qing Guifei say, "Sister Gu is not in good health and never drinks alcohol. The emperor's partiality should also be partial, and Sister Wan knows that she has to say it. "
Yan Yue only felt a chill in her heart, raised her head and stared at Murong Yan in a daze, his gaze was falling thoughtfully on Wang Shuyuan beside her, and Wang Shuyuan's delicate and charming face had already flown a red glow. Yan Yue sat there, feeling as if she was immersed in an ice cellar. It turns out that he not only spoils Wang Shuyuan, but also cares about Gu Guifei, maybe he has a good impression of which beauty!
In the 21st century, I have overheard the saying that it is better to believe that there are ghosts in this world than to believe in the broken mouths of men. And Yan Yue listened to Murong Yan and said, "I have always liked Xiao Yue'er, I care about Xiao Yue'er, and I don't want to leave Xiao Yue'er." I decided to stay for him. But he may have said such things to other women, and he may have said more intimate love words than this......
Yan Yue sat there stupidly, and it wasn't until Mama Zhuang, who was standing behind her, deliberately touched Yan Yue's arm by pouring tea, that Yan Yue came back to her senses. At this time, the anagram had reached Wang Shuyuan. She glanced at Yan Yue with a smile and said, "Sister Yan, my anagram is: Maitreya Buddha, guess a four-character idiom."
Yan Yue almost didn't know how to think and said, "Smile often." After answering, I realized that this must be Wang Shuyuan's release of water to herself. For some reason, this Wang Shuyuan took a lot of care of herself when she was a beauty, but she was very uncomfortable because she was Murong Yan's only pet.
"Yan Shuyuan, hurry up and come up with the question!" A beautiful woman urged urgently. Yan Yue's heart had already become a mess because of the thoughts just now. At this moment, when I heard the urging, my thoughts went blank.
"No wonder Wang Shuyuan came up with such a simple anagram, could it be that she knows that Yan Shuyuan doesn't know anagrams?" Wan Guifei said with a smile, Yan Yue only felt pain in her heart, and ignored her cynicism, picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it up. After putting down the wine glass, his eyes looked at Mu Keyan again, but he saw that his gaze was falling on him this time, and there was a faint irony in his eyes. Yan Yue only felt that the fire started in her heart, and her brain was burned a lot clearer by the wine, didn't these people look down on themselves? Can a broken crossword puzzle stump yourself?
The wine order continued, and Yan Yue listened carefully. "Peacock Open Screen" is the next word; The sunset is fragrant, and the heart is bald; The spring rain is continuous, and the grass is full of words; Say not to say, take or not to call to take is the most word...... The beauties have their own tricks, see the tricks. Yan Yue couldn't help but sigh that these women were all a little at a small level. Taking advantage of this effort, Yan Yue thought of a few words in her heart and dismantled it, and began to wait for her turn again.
When Wang Shuyuan came up with a word puzzle for Yan Yue to guess, everyone was waiting curiously, she slowly opened her lips and said softly: "Jinmu water and fire, type a word" Yan Yue opened her mouth and wanted to answer "earth", isn't Jinmu water and fire just missing the word "earth". But I heard Wang Shuyuan say softly again: "Think carefully and then answer." Yan Yue then remembered that she was a little impulsive, and if she didn't have the soil riddle, of course it wouldn't be soil, but the word "kan".
This time it was Yan Yue's question, Yan Yue said with a smile: "This time my anagram is still in the story, there used to be a boss who dealt with cultural relics, who was squandering money and fighting righteousness, making friends and liking to dance and write, witty and interesting." One day, he ingeniously put a small beautiful jade carving with fine work and a lot of value on the counter, and wrote four words next to it's 'one inch beauty', typed a word, and the guesser gave this jade carving. At first, there were only two people on one side of the comparison, but then more and more people gathered, and there were many discussions, and no one entered the store to tell the boss the answer to the riddle he guessed, and the boss either shook his head or smiled. After a long time, a young man separated from the crowd, entered the store, went straight to the window to close the beautiful jade carving, turned around and gave a salute to the boss, and left the store without saying a word. The boss touched his chin and said happily, "The young man got it right!" 'What do you say is the end of this riddle?' ”
Everyone didn't arrive, Yan Yue could tell such an interesting story with an anagram, but fortunately, it was not himself who guessed the riddle, otherwise all his thoughts were spent listening to the story, how could he remember what the word was! Sure enough, the beauty sitting at the bottom of Yan Yue didn't guess it for a while, and Yan Yue said bluntly and directly: "It's just a word for "奪".
This time Yan Yue was in the limelight again, and the story of Fahai told when writing poems has made many women remember this unique Yan Shuyuan, and at this time, the anagram story of this inch beauty once again amazed everyone. In the eyes of everyone who were surprised, admired, or jealous, when Yan Yue looked at Murong Yan again, she saw that he had already lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
And the breeze around her was light, and it was Wang Shuyuan who stood up and walked away quietly. Yan Yue couldn't help but admire this Wang Shuyuan, so many women gathered here to attract Murong Yan's attention, but she actually gave up such an opportunity, turned around and left without care. Isn't she afraid that Murong Yan has a crush on a woman today, and her only favor in the palace will disappear? Yan Yue thought about it again and again, and found that she was really not as open as that Wang Shuyuan, she just didn't feel at ease, so she wanted to stay here and take a look......
Yan Yue raised her head again, but heard Murong Yan say in a deep voice, "Let's disperse like this today." In the harmony and kneeling of the women, Murong Yan also quickly left Xiyue Palace. The male protagonists all left, and all the women lost their interest in tasting crabs and returned to the palace separately. However, the little beauty who was moved to tears by listening to the story of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian just now entangled Yan Yue, and kept asking Yan Yue to tell her a story like Bai Suzhen.
"Sister, I'm a little tired today, if you are free, I will tell you a story when I go to Sister Birongxuan one day!" Where did Yan Yue have the heart to tell her a story, there was a doubt that was backlogged in Yan Yue's heart, and Yan Yue desperately wanted to solve it. Fortunately, that little beauty is still sensible, and when she heard Yan Yue say this, she immediately said that she would go to Yan Yue's Palace next time to listen to the story.
Yan Yue stopped when she left Xiyue Palace, Yan Yue had to wonder if Wang Shuyuan had just left Xiyue Palace on her front foot, and Murong Yan ordered the banquet to disperse and leave Xiyue Palace, would he go with that Wang Shuyuan. Yan Yue immediately instructed Mama Zhuang: "Mama Zhuang, you go to Yingyue Xuan to have a look, you can find the reason yourself, I just need to know where the emperor went?" ”
Mama Zhuang didn't expect her master to be so direct and impatient, she only suffered an unruly loss last night, and today she doesn't publish according to common sense. Thinking of this, Mama Zhuang immediately persuaded: "Today's emperor is not a person who is greedy for women, there are many beauties in the harem, but the emperor favored only the queen before, and now there is only Wang Shuyuan." If it weren't for the master's ingenuity yesterday, I believe that the favored master of the harem would have one more mother. Therefore, the slave also asked Niangniang to pay more attention to the emperor, and Niangniang should still be cautious about this jealousy matter. ”
Yan Yue was stunned and stunned, the queen's affairs Mama Zhuang didn't know the inside story, but one thing she said was right, Murong Yan was indeed not a person who coveted women, otherwise how could this harem woman be spoiled. But how could she let Mama Zhuang know her thoughts, so Yan Yue ignored Mama Zhuang's advice, and ordered directly: "This matter has been decided by the palace, so please ask Mama Zhuang to go back quickly." ”
Seeing that Yan Yue had made up her mind, Mama Zhuang also knew that she couldn't stop it at all, so she still went to Yingyue Palace according to Yan Yue's order. And Yan Yue slowly paced back to the palace alone.
