Chapter 40: What a Rare Pair of Eyes
Not far away, the voices of several women who were originally talking were obviously quieter, and while whispering, their eyes glanced over from time to time.
Yun Qixi has a straight temperament, likes to get straight to the point, goes straight, and hates the person who pokes people's backbones in the back the most in his life. Knowing that they were talking about her, she stared at them with a grin.
Then one of the women winked at them, put her finger to her lips, shhh ”
Several other women were already a little weak by Yun Qixi, and after she reminded them like this, they immediately stopped talking.
Yun Qixi raised the corners of his lips amusedly, withdrew his gaze, reached out and picked up a grape on the plate and put it in his mouth.
After a while, a crisp and pleasant laughter sounded outside the hall, and when I looked up, it was Zhang Qinxue who came back with a few women. And on the same road with them, there are Yun Lanyue and her mother Su Yuwan, who must have come from the queen's Fengyang Palace. Everyone rushed to tie up with the queen, how could they not maintain this relationship since they were related to the queen?
The strange thing is that Yun Lanyue caught a glimpse of Yun Qixi sitting in the corner, and changed her previous attitude of glaring as soon as she met, and seemed to be unmelting. There was a hint of a smile on her face, but she smiled a little meaningfully, as if there was a hint of pride in it. They sat down in the front row.
Zhang Qinxue looked around, found Yun Qixi, walked over and sat down beside her, deliberately keeping a straight face.
"Qixi Festival, I was waiting for you in Fengyang Palace for a long time, why didn't you come?"
Yun Qixi smiled and pulled her flatteringly, "I'm sorry, my stomach has been uncomfortable, so I just sat here." ”
Hearing this, the feigned unhappiness on Zhang Qinxue's face disappeared immediately, and she was replaced with worry.
"Still uncomfortable? Is it a bad stomach? Why don't you find a doctor? ”
Yun Qixi's heart warmed, and he smiled, "No, it's much better now." ”
After talking for a while, the originally noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and people looked at the entrance of the hall.
I only heard the sound of gently turning the wheel, the sound was not loud, but it became clearer and clearer in the environment that gradually quieted down. Yun Qixi also involuntarily looked at the door, only to see Ge Feng pushing Shan Liancheng and slowly walking into the main hall.
"See His Royal Highness King Jin." Everyone got up to say hello.
In the past, the tall figure of His Royal Highness the King of Jin was enough to shock people's hearts as soon as he stood there, but now, His Royal Highness the King of Jin was pushed in by a wheelchair, wearing a black brocade python robe, and the jade crown tied his hair meticulously, although it was still noble, but it was much worse than the image of the majestic God of War in everyone's minds. It was as if a mountain had suddenly fallen, and many people who had previously revered Shan Liancheng looked at it with compassion and sympathy in their eyes. However, there are also some people, because of excessive hypocrisy, there will always be a trace of schadenfreude in their eyes that cannot be hidden.
"How so? His Royal Highness King Jin was really injured? ”
"Oh my God, that's so unfair." The girls tried their best to suppress themselves from screaming.
The male god in their minds in the past has now become a cripple, and they can't believe their eyes.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is so seriously injured?" Zhang Qinxue's gaze followed Shan Liancheng, and her tone was full of regret.
Yun Qixi knew the inside story, so he didn't feel so much emotion, and only smiled lightly, "It's normal for the sword to have no eyes on the battlefield, get injured, and even lose your life." ”
Zhang Qinxue turned her head and looked at her in surprise, "Qixi Festival, you ......"
Yun Qixi suddenly understood, in the face of this major event that shocked the entire capital, he seemed to be too calm, and was about to find some explanation to fool the past, but Zhang Qinxue seemed to have comprehended it.
"Yes, life is a blessing and a curse, just like you, who would have thought that your life would go through so many twists and turns? But right now, no one can easily defend the status of the crown prince, if you become the crown princess, you will definitely have smooth sailing in the future. ”
Dare to love her, meaning that Shan Liancheng was injured, and the prince has one less rival? Did she see her as part of that schadenfreude?
"What if I say I don't want to be this princess anymore?" Yun Qixi said half-jokingly.
Zhang Qinxue was stunned for a moment, looked at her for a while, and then smiled, "Who is the person who has been thinking about marrying Ziyin's brother since he was ten years old?" If others don't understand you, can I not understand you? ”
As the second lady's best friend, Zhang Qinxue thinks she knows her very well, and she only treats her as a joke.
Shan Liancheng sat down in the second seat opposite, and when he raised his eyes, his gaze fell on Yun Qixi impartially. It was as if he had always known her whereabouts.
She is the center of everyone's discussion, although he is the prince, but his fate seems to be similar, and he is also facing all kinds of eyes at the moment. At this moment, Yun Qixi actually felt that she and him had a feeling of being connected to the same disease.
Moreover, his calmness and calmness seemed to infect her, making her mood a little calmer. As she herself often says, isn't there still a tall man when the sky falls?
Thinking of this, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled at him.
Shan Liancheng's eyes were half of a point of surprise, and soon they all calmed down again, and quietly looked away.
The music sounded, and several graceful red-clothed dancers came to the center of the hall and began to dance. The banquet gradually returned to the hustle and bustle. And all this excitement seemed to have nothing to do with Shan Liancheng, his gaze fell on the center of the main hall, as if he was looking, but he didn't seem to see anything.
At the end of the song, the list is hidden.
The more important the person, the more late he has to come, to put it bluntly, he has to hold the shelf.
Today is the celebration banquet of Shan Liancheng, even if there are a million people who are not willing to participate, they have to participate. As the dual identity of the crown prince and his brother, he must show his generosity in front of the hundred officials, and he must also show his brother, friend and brother in front of the emperor.
Shan Ziyin's slender figure wears a bright yellow prince brocade robe, and the delicate embroidery pattern reflects a bit dazzling in the bright light. In the midst of everyone's flattery, he walked in with a leisurely gait.
Since he appeared, Yun Lanyue has not been very comfortable, and his expression is shy and timid.
"Your brother Ziyin is here." Zhang Qinxue turned the cloud with her elbow.
Yun Qixi just smiled and didn't respond.
When the road reached the seat of Shan Liancheng, Shan Ziyin stopped.
The hall was a little strange in an instant, and the two eyes met, although they were silent, but the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.
"King Jin is okay?" Shan Ziyin had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.
Shan Liancheng slowly raised his head, looked back at him calmly, and also lightly hooked his lips, "Fortunately, there is no worry about your life." ”
The two of them sat and stood together, but Shan Liancheng did not lose his momentum, but his meaningful words made Shan Ziyin's face change.
After a while, Shan Ziyin regained his smile and said, "That's good." With that, he walked over to the seat of the head of the city and sat down.
The tense atmosphere was finally eased slightly, but Yun Qixi, who was sitting in the corner on the other side, sighed very much, the people in this palace are all self-taught, and their acting skills are first-class?
"Qixi, are you angry with the prince because he almost married your sister?" Zhang Qinxue suddenly came to say this.
If it weren't for Yun Qixi suddenly closing his mouth, he would definitely squirt out a mouthful of tea.
Putting down the teacup, she laughed dryly, "How can you see that?" ”
Zhang Qinxue said, "You saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, but it wasn't like this. ”
"And what am I like?" Yun Qixi asked funny.
Mo Fei also stood up and shouted, wow, so handsome, male god male god I love you, just like a mouse loves rice.
Zhang Qinxue smiled lightly, "Qixi Festival, I haven't known you for a year or two, I can see your thoughts, just like at the beginning, I could see at a glance that you had affection for the prince, but now, I can't see that love in your eyes, why?" ”
"Why not?" Yun Qixi looked very natural, "I went to the Hades Palace and walked around, there are many things I don't remember." ”
Zhang Qinxue looked at her with a stunned face, "Don't remember? Even forgot his feelings for the prince? ”
Seeing that she followed her wishes, Yun Qixi no longer explained in detail, but just smiled noncommittally.
Zhang Qinxue originally wanted to say something more, but suddenly stopped talking, and just looked in the direction of the entrance of the main hall.
Following her gaze, Yun Qixi was also stunned.
It's him?
The lights of the Taihe Hall were very bright, and his face became more and more abnormally white, and he put his hands in front of his mouth from time to time, and coughed secretly.
His facial features were very beautiful, but Yun Qixi looked at his clear eyes alone and couldn't take his eyes off.
In this court full of intrigues, these are a pair of rare eyes, as clean as a child.
Between people, it is really important to pay attention to an eye edge. Although she didn't communicate with him a word, she was glad that she had saved him with good intentions at the beginning, so she could see such a pair of eyes that were so clean that they didn't have a trace of magazines again.
She heard everyone call him the fourth prince.
Yun Qixi knew that although he had recovered some of his physical strength, his body was still weak, but he was obviously strong and had an elegant smile on his face. This smile, like a warm sun, can shine into people's hearts.
is a gentle and jade-like fourth prince, but it's a pity that he has such a weak body.
Sitting down at the bottom of Shan Liancheng, he exchanged a few words with Shan Liancheng in a low voice, as if he was greeting, and Shan Liancheng's face was rarely a little softer.
When Shan Jingyan's gaze inadvertently cast over and landed on Yun Qixi's face, his gaze was slightly sluggish.
Just as Yun Qixi was wondering if he had recognized himself, Shan Jingyan had already looked away.
The light was so dim, he probably didn't have time to see her face clearly, right? Thinking like this, Yun Qixi turned around, but caught a glimpse of Zhang Qinxue's face flushing slightly.
Yun Qixi looked at Zhang Qinxue, and then looked at the four princes with an elegant temperament sitting opposite, and couldn't help but see a trace of interest.
"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived, and Concubine Hui has arrived."
Suddenly, there was a shout at the door, as if he was pinching his voice.
