Chapter Eighty-Nine: Prince Yi
In the past, Chu Yunsheng would comfort Meng Wan'er a few words, either that King Zhao was also very good, or that Meng Taifu's Mansion would rely on her to support the lintel.
Now, Chu Yunsheng didn't mention these things, but lowered her voice in her ear and said, "Wan'er is really interested in King Zhao's heart, Pingyang, a bystander, is Wan'er willing?" ”
Needless to say, it is also unwilling.
Chu Yunsheng's gaze fell on her face, as if he was expecting her answer. Meng Wan'er really didn't disappoint her, she shook her head, expressing her unwillingness, blinking a pair of dark eyes, she couldn't see any calculation, but it made people feel pity.
Chu Yunsheng didn't continue the topic, "The day after tomorrow, how does Wan'er plan to spend the Qixi Festival?" ”
Meng Wan'er didn't believe that her words were casually asked, and sure enough, it was premeditated, she replied, "There are a few sisters in the clan, grandpa means let me take them around the capital, take advantage of the Qixi Festival the day after tomorrow, I plan to take them to the street to see, and then go to the Daxiangguo Temple to ask for a marriage sign." ”
"If Sister Pingyang asks Wan'er to accompany her, Wan'er can take the sisters in the clan to ask for a sign another day."
Chu Yunsheng remembered her itinerary in her heart, and when Meng Wan'er asked if she had an appointment, she shook her head, "Your clan sister came from the Meng family's own clan and worked hard all the way, you should accompany the clan sister!" ”
Meng Wan'er was stunned for a moment, and then said something around the noble lady of the capital.
As the loud voice of the inner eunuch sounded, the originally chaotic banquet immediately became quiet, and Meng Wan'er also returned to her seat, Meng Taifu's mansion is noble, and Meng Wan'er's seat is not too far from her.
Chu Yunsheng listened to what the inner eunuch said about the arrival of His Majesty and the Empress, turned his head and looked at the position of the Queen Mother and her mother, the two had not yet come, she was a little worried in her heart, whether her mother could convince the Queen Mother.
At this time, His Majesty and the Empress had already entered the table, and everyone did not relax before, and they all returned to their original seats, with a solemn atmosphere.
In the past palace banquets, the emperor and queen Shanshan were late, and today it has come to the beginning of the birthday banquet, and the emperor and queen have come, but the owner of today's birthday banquet has not yet been found.
The emperor looked at the empty position beside him, and then looked at the empty position below, "Why don't you see the Queen Mother, Sister Yongning and Princess Yi haven't come." ”
After saying this, the emperor looked at Chu Yunsheng.
Chu Yunsheng's heart moved, Prince and Princess Yi didn't come, and her grandmother actually invited Prince and Princess Yi away? The emperor's eyes fell on her, and many people looked at her, and she quickly restrained her thoughts, "Pingyang didn't go to Changle Palace today, I don't know." ”
The emperor frowned, and instructed the inner eunuch beside him, "Send someone to Changle Palace to ask if the Queen Mother is not feeling well." ”
Before the emperor's words fell, he heard a middle-aged man's majestic voice sound, "The princess has been in Changle Palace for so long, you go and see if it's safe." ”
This voice was half a cut higher than the emperor, Chu Yunsheng was shocked, and looked over there curiously. The seats opposite were all men, and that person was sitting on the first seat over there, and it must be Prince Yi, who was in power. Back then, he fought against the emperor for many years, even if the emperor had been on the throne for many years, Prince Yi was still in the court, and Prince Yi should not be underestimated!
After listening to her mother's old stories, she vaguely felt that Yongning Mansion had kicked a stone.
The internal supervisor next to the emperor and the cronies next to Prince Yi, before they could walk out of the banquet, they heard a sharp voice outside the door: The Queen Mother, the eldest princess of Yongning, and the princess of Prince Yi have arrived-
Chu Yunsheng followed the sound and looked, led by the Queen Mother, his mother, Princess Yongning, and Prince and Princess Yi stood on both sides, and slowly walked inside.
The emperor asked a few words of concern, and Prince Yi also asked about the safety of the princess, as if Princess Yi would have an accident if she stayed in Changle Palace for a long time.
Everyone was gathered, and the birthday banquet began soon. At the banquet, the staggered and silk bamboo were pleasant, but Chu Yunsheng's mind was not on this, he looked at the song and dance absent-mindedly, a little distracted.
The banquet soon came to the part of the gift, Chu Yunsheng came back to his senses a little, and looked at what other people had sent, either rare medicines, or expensive tables, but also calligraphy and paintings, all of which were calligraphy and paintings by ancient sages, compared to hers, it was dwarfed.
Chu Yunsheng showed an embarrassed look on his face, and when her birthday gift was presented, the ceremonial official next to her read this thing, Chu Yunsheng's face couldn't hold it, and he just wanted to hide under the table where vegetables, fruits and pastries were placed.
Chu Yunsheng had a thought in his heart, and after announcing her salute, he hurriedly turned the page and presented the next family's birthday gift. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother said, "It's really good to be able to pick up a pen to paint and write poems, so bring it up and take a look." ”
The Queen Mother saw it, her face was full of smiles, and she nodded yes, "This painting is good, there is progress, this poem is better!" ”
After listening to the calligraphy and painting of the queen mother praising the sages, and then seeing his own painting, Chu Yunsheng couldn't hear it, the queen mother obviously intended to elevate her, but in fact, it was ...... Lost in it
Chu Yunsheng's ears were red from ear to heel, but the Queen Mother didn't finish praising it, and continued, "This poem is good, much better than Wan'er's "You Qu Ting". ”
"Emperor, take a look." As she spoke, the Queen Mother asked her to hand the calligraphy and painting to the emperor.
The emperor looked at the poem, his eyes flickered, nodded in agreement, and read, "Chang Ji Xiting sunset, drunk and don't know the way back, happy to return to the boat at night, strayed into the depths of the lotus flowers, fought for the crossing, and startled a shoal of gulls and herons!" ”
"Yes, it's much better than the one that won the first prize at the last poetry tasting." The emperor laughed again and again, and then praised the eldest princess of Yongning for her adopted daughter, who does not look outstanding on weekdays, but in fact, she is a blockbuster.
Chu Yunsheng was embarrassed to be praised, remembering that this was written by Li Qingzhao, a "great lyricist", and he had been studying for thousands of years in history, and it was still passed on to future generations.
The emperor praised for a while, and his eyes narrowed at the inscription above, "I personally taught the words of King Su, this looks like the words of King Su!" ”
Chu Yunsheng's heart suddenly tightened, he didn't expect the emperor to see such a good look.
Many people at the table looked at her, even her mother. Chu Yunsheng's heart trembled, and he didn't know how to justify, at this time Qin Qi spoke, "Erchen's words are on the front side of everyone's Liu Chen's style, and the county lord of Pingyang also loves Liu Chen's calligraphy, and he is practicing the words on the calligraphy. ”
Chu Yunsheng nodded smoothly, "Yes, there are still many words from Senior Liu in the house." ”
The emperor looked at his son with a smile, something quickly flashed in his eyes, and said to the inner supervisor beside him, "Since Pingyang likes it, the Forbidden Book Pavilion has also received a lot of Liu Chen's authentic works, and I will send them over later." ”
Chu Yunsheng wanted to turn the page, but her beloved grandmother said, "Yunsheng and King Su have the same preferences!" They all love Liu Chen's calligraphy. ”
