Chapter Fifty-Eight: Sitting in the Seat (One Shift)
Hua Yan secretly scolded in her heart, Yun Chi, this bastard, who is Yan'er? Vomit her to death.
Lord Zhao was shocked in his heart, not only because of Yun Chi's words, but also because of the tone in which he spoke to Hua Yan, his eyebrows were smiling, gentle and tender, which was very different from what he had seen before.
He was accustomed to seeing Yun Chi's coldness and indifference, but now when he saw him like this, he was shocked for a while.
immediately thought of it, did the prince really like this crown princess? That's why you chose her? Wasn't it the concubine selection that circulated in Ninghe Palace that day and decided on the roster casually?
Therefore, the queen mother has repeatedly persuaded her, and the emperor is also very dissatisfied, but His Royal Highness the crown prince insists on not changing?
He couldn't think about it much, so he immediately humbly invited Yun Chi and Hua Yan into the mansion.
As soon as the group walked not far away, the singing sound sounded again, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess, send 600,000 taels of silver, and wish Zhao Zaifu a long and happy birthday banquet." ”
Lord Zhao's feet swelled, and he almost fell out one by one, he turned his head to look at Yun Chi in surprise, the birthday gift given to his eldest brother by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned out to be 600,000 taels of silver?
This...... I've never heard of a birthday banquet gift giving dry silver......
Hua Yan admired the expression of this Lord Zhao, and felt that his face was really wonderful, this singing, the entire Zhao Mansion was estimated to be able to hear it, I don't know what the expression on the face of Zhao Zaifu and the guests in the hall was?
It's a pity that they sang too early, and they should have sung it after they had entered the hall and seen everyone, so that they could all enjoy it.
Yun Chi smiled slightly, his face calm, "What's wrong with Lord Zhao?" ”
Lord Zhao didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly collected his expression and said with a smile, "The lower official walked too quickly, and accidentally turned his foot, no hindrance, no hindrance, Your Highness is careful about the road under your feet." ”
Yun Chi bowed his head and said no more.
Lord Zhao didn't dare to think about it anymore, nor did he dare to make another mistake, so he respectfully invited people to the hall.
The hall of Zhao's mansion is very large, the emperor sits on the upper left, the upper right is empty, Zhao Zaifu sits at the bottom, and the rest of the people are either officials in the court and the central government, or people with status in famous families, accompanied by them.
Yun Chi and Hua Yan came, and except for the emperor, everyone stood up to salute the prince.
Yun Chi glanced at everyone, and smiled lightly in a cool voice, "Zhao Zaifu is exempt from courtesy, today is your birthday, and the birthday star is big, so there is no need to be polite." When the words fell, he added, "Everyone is also exempt from courtesy!" ”
Everyone was on the same page.
Zhao Zaifu looked at the flower face beside the prince, looked at it for a moment, and asked with a pair of old eyes that couldn't see anything, "His Royal Highness the prince, who is this?" ”
Yun Chi kept holding Hua Yan's hand and smiled, "Lin'an Hua Yan, the crown princess of this palace, after she entered Beijing, because she was unwell, she didn't even step into the palace gate, and the day before yesterday she received a post from Zhao Mansion, and this palace took her to Zhao Mansion to congratulate Zai Fu on his birthday, and by the way, let everyone see it." ”
Zhao Zaifu listened to Yun Chi's words, quickly turned in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The old minister has seen the crown princess, thanks to the princess for giving the old minister such a big face, the old minister is ashamed." ”
Hua Yan smiled lightly, and her voice made people feel like a spring breeze, "Zhao Zaifu is serious." ”
She is already stunning, even if she lightly applies fat powder and sweeps Emei, she can't hide her appearance, especially this shallow smile, which is even more radiant. Dressed in a blue brocade Luo long skirt, the skirt of the two tangled begonias seems to bloom quietly because of her smile, there are few hairpins on the head, and there are not many jewelry around the body, but no matter how you look at it, it is elegant and beautiful, which makes the hall seem to be a little more colorful.
Everyone was silent in unison, and their hearts were amazed, it turned out that this princess was really good-looking.
In the silence, Yun slowly stepped inside, came to the emperor, and greeted with a smile, "Father." ”
Hua Yan couldn't break away from Yun Chi's hand, so she could only follow him forward and salute calmly, "Your Majesty!" ”
The emperor didn't expect Yun Chi to come to congratulate Zhao Zaifu on his birthday, and the birthday gift he prepared turned out to be 600,000 taels of silver, he was just like everyone else, and he was also shocked, but then he returned to his normal color, and now when he saw the two of them, he smiled extremely kindly and waved his hand, "The crown princess looks a lot better than the day before yesterday, sit down." ”
Hua Yan thought that there was no woman in this hall, where would she sit?
Yun Chi glanced at the emperor's side and glanced at the upper right side of the emperor, there were only two seats, the emperor sat on one side, and the other was empty. He turned to look at Zhao Zaifu and said with a smile, "It seems that the ladies of Zaifu's mansion are very busy. ”
Zhao Zaifu's face changed, because he was indeed a little unhappy with Yun Chi's choice of Huayan as a concubine, and heard about the Shunfang gambling house and the matter of the marriage signing of the Qingshui Temple, although the prince suppressed these two things, but he was really dissatisfied, so although Mrs. Zhao gave Huayan a post, she privately thought that she was not a serious princess, and she did not arrange someone to greet her today.
Now that the emperor treats Hua Yan very kindly, Yun Chi came with her hand, and she has not let go so far, this attitude could not be more obvious.
His heart was cold, but in the end, it was Zaifu who had been in the court all his life, and he hurriedly said, "The eldest princess came earlier, and the lady welcomed the eldest princess to the backyard, so she shouldn't have time yet." When the words fell, he shouted, "Come on, quickly sit down for the crown princess." ”
Someone immediately responded, hastily moved a chair and placed it next to the empty seat on the upper right.
Yun Chi smiled faintly, "Naturally, you can't slack off when the eldest aunt comes, and I haven't seen the eldest aunt out of the palace for half a year." After the words fell, he smiled and dragged Hua Yan to the seat.
Hua Yan sat down with Yun Chi before he let go of her hand.
After she got rid of the clamps, she glanced at her hands, and he grabbed the red marks, and she hated in her heart, if he didn't drag her, she wouldn't run away, and now she is acting like this to show people, what a bastard.
The emperor glanced at the two of them, and there was a slight amusement smile on his face, knowing that they were more energetic.
Everyone sat down in turn, either openly or secretly.
Lin'an Huayan, the crown princess chosen by the crown prince, has been curious since more than a year ago, but for more than a year, there have been many spies sent by Jingzhong, but they have not recovered a portrait of her. Now when I see it, I don't say anything else, just this appearance, I secretly praise that she is really a beauty.
It's just a pity that this beauty is good at gambling skills, and when she goes in and out of the gambling house, she seems to have no boudoir rules and etiquette.
For a while, the hall was very quiet, and there seemed to be no noise outside the courtyard.
Someone brought tea, Hua Yan drank the tea calmly, let everyone look at her openly or secretly, she also looked back unceremoniously, her gaze is not more subtle than these people, but very direct, as if to see people's hearts.
For a while, many people couldn't stand it, and looked away, secretly thinking that this crown princess is really bold, how can a woman look at a man like this? Especially when there were young officials and sons of big families in the hall, they blushed when they caught her gaze.
Hua Yan looked around and thought to herself, Su Ziqi was not there, Lu Zhiling was not there, they didn't come? An Shuli seems to have set off for Southwest Fanbang yesterday, and he will not come.
After being quiet for half a cup of tea, there was a sound of footsteps outside, small and shallow, with the sound of rings and rings, into the hall.
Suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted into the threshold, the bead curtain was raised, and a woman in her prime walked in.
I saw that she was wearing a lotus lotus flower skirt, with a graceful waist, exquisite, and a beautiful appearance like the moon. However, her eyebrows and eyes are pure, and she looks even square, so that people can see her like a water lotus, and they should not be blasphemous.
Hua Yan looked at it in amazement, thinking that this is Zhao Qingxi, the only daughter of Zhao Zaifu, right? This is called the real gentle and virtuous, dignified and virtuous, and everyone is beautiful.
She stared at her enough, until she stepped forward to salute the emperor and Yun Chi and turned to salute her, she still didn't retract her gaze, got up and took a step forward, pulled her up, held her hand, and said with a smile, "Sister Zhao is really a lovely person who makes people love it at first sight, there are many sisters in my family, but none of them are as unscrupulous as you, I am a person with no etiquette, standing with you, I am really incomparable." ”
Zhao Qingxi was stunned, she didn't expect Hua Yan to be so enthusiastic in front of the emperor and the prince's guests when they first met, and she greatly complimented her with beautiful words, and at the same time degraded herself worthless, she was stunned, quickly regained her composure, and smiled, "Where did the princess say, where can the courtiers compare to the princess?" The crown princess is pale, don't depreciate herself, and the courtiers are ashamed. ”
She came in the door, although she only glanced at Huayan, but this glance was enough for her to be surprised by her appearance.
Hua Yan smiled brightly and sincerely, tilted her head and said to her, "This kind of thing is the most unreliable thing, just skin, where is the inner beauty of Sister Ji from her bones?" I never tell lies, Sister Zhao really deserves to be the first beauty in Nanchu. ”
Zhao Qingxi was praised and blushed a little, caught off guard, when she came earlier, Hua Yan's mental preparations were disrupted without a trace, and she didn't know what to say for a while, she glanced at Zhao Zaifu, and was very surprised to see him, she could only smile and say, "The princess has won the award, and the courtiers are really ashamed to see people by your praise." ”
