Chapter 67: The First Conspiracy (II)
Qianqian's eyes were gentle and firm, and Jinyu felt at ease for a while.
"I need someone who can stand up and speak up at a critical time and help us have enough reasons to play music at the feast. This person should have a noble status and not be involved in party disputes, only in this way can he stand up and gain the trust of the emperor if he says it. Whether it is the crown prince or the king of Yi, anyone after the two of them will be suspected of competing for favor in the emperor. ”
"I see what you mean!" Qianqian lowered her head and fiddled with the peony pattern on her sleeves, brushing the fine stitches on her fingertips, a burst of numbness, and a smile like a flower bloomed on her lips, "The status is noble and not involved in party disputes, and he wants to be able to help us, he is the only one who counts the top and bottom of the court!" ”
The sky was gradually darkening, the wind and snow were coming as scheduled, Qianqian and Jinyu had been sitting in the room for the stove and talking, Qianqian's face showed a long-lost smile, and each other's eyes were much warmer.
It wasn't until dinner that Zhuo Yinfeng came back in the wind and snow, and when he passed by Qianqian's door, he felt the smell of wine, Jinyu and Qianqian were chatting, very happy, and he was shocked: Recently, the people in the house said that the relationship between Qianqian and Jinyu is very different from before, and he didn't think so at first, but now it sounds like these two people are really in love for a long time? But when I thought of the prince's attitude towards Jinyu, I still felt that Qianqian couldn't let Qianqian have too much emotional expectations for Jinyu at the moment.
knocked on the door and entered, Jinyu and Qianqian worshiped each other, the two were neatly dressed and looked calm, Zhuo Yinfeng was embarrassed "um".
"What's so fun to talk about, let's talk about it, let Daddy be happy too!" Zhuo Yinfeng stretched out his hand to warm himself on the brazier, but his eyes were looking around, the room was clean and tidy as usual, but there was an extra pot of wine on the table, but he had never opened it, and the cup was only full of tea.
Qianqian smiled with her sleeves: "In previous years, there were relatives performing at the court meeting, and this year, my daughter wants to play a double piano ensemble with her husband to cheer up the emperor!" ”
"You know how to play the harp?" Zhuo Yinfeng frowned when he heard this.
"I learned from my teacher when my family was never in decline!" Jin Yu replied respectfully, knowing that Zhuo Yinfeng would not believe it, and immediately took Qianqian's piano and played a song "Falling Geese and Pingsha", three ups and three downs, and Zhuo Yinfeng, who listened to the aftermath, was very surprised.
"I didn't expect you to be so capable, you are the Si Le of Taichang Temple, and you are the aunt of Nangong Houfu on the surface, there is nothing wrong with playing for the emperor with Qianqian, as long as you don't mess things up, it's a court banquet, and you won't help you with any baskets!" Zhuo Yinfeng's tone rose and fell a few times, and the words "on the bright side" were suppressed and frustrated.
I didn't want to stay any longer and went back to the room directly, and even the dinner was sent to the study.
After everything was discussed, on the second day, Jin Yu told the master of Taichang Temple about the performance of himself and Qianqian Shuangqin at the same time in the court, Jin Yu was a relative, and it was not uncommon for Qianqian to want a banquet.
All the necessary musical instruments are prepared by herself, Jin Yu took the opportunity to go to the storehouse of Si Le, and there are common musical instruments for qin, xiao, flute, gonghou, and chime.
Although it is rare, but after all, this is in the palace, what curiosities will there be, not to mention a musical instrument, when Jin Yu found it, it was quietly squatting in the corner, covered with dust. After a cursory look at the intact, the playing is perfectly fine.
Today is not Jinyu on duty, when I returned home in the afternoon, I just came out of the palace gate and saw Qianqian standing not far away talking to a gorgeously dressed young man.
Jin Yu looked at it from a distance, that person was none other than Yu Wenyun, the seventh prince who twisted himself to Nangong Hou and was beaten that day.
Although Yu Wenyun is far away from the government, he is also a prince, Yu Li Jinyu should be a courtier, not to mention that Qianqian is also there, it is impossible to avoid it.
"Taichang Temple Si Le Zhuo Jinyu to meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"Excuse me!" Yu Wenyun smiled gently, holding the jade belt in his waist, "I didn't think I would have been on an errand in the palace for a few months!" ”
Yuwen Yun's crown is pressed to the top, and the tailor-made costume perfectly shows the tall figure of an adult man, Qianqian is soft, and Jinyu is also long and jade, and the three of them stand together to provoke the passing palace eunuchs to peek frequently.
"Thank you for your mercy on that day?" Jin Yu lowered his eyes and said, "If it weren't for His Highness's words, I'm afraid that my father-in-law would definitely not spare the minister!" ”
"I'm not helping you, I'm helping you for Qianqian's sake!" Yu Wenyun looked at Qianqian and couldn't help but sigh, "What's more, I can't get out of bed for half a month, this punishment is not light!" ”
Jinyu didn't answer, turned her head to look at Qianqian, and felt more pity. Although the wind and snow have stopped today, every breath of sunshine and the cold wind outside the imperial city blew Qianqian's cheeks with a layer of redness: "It's so cold, why are you here?" ”
As he spoke, he saw Qianqian wearing a black satin cloak on her hand, which she forgot to bring when she went out this morning.
"As the saying goes, the snow is not cold, and the snow is cold, I thought you would return late today, and you forgot to bring this cloak, so I won't send it to you!" Qianqian turned her head and glanced at Yu Wenyun, her lips changed with a hint of shyness, "I happened to meet His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, and just now I was saying thank You Your Highness for raising your noble hand that night!" It's just that Yu Jue is really worthy of His Royal Highness! ”
Yu Wenyun waved his hand: "It's okay, it's been repaired with red gold, and now it's become gold and jade!" After saying that, he smiled.
Yuwen Yun glanced at the entourage following behind him, and said with a slight pause: "This king still has something to do to enter the palace, so don't go over it!" ”
According to the farewell, Yu Wenyun's figure disappeared behind the tall palace wall. Jin Yu stood by his hand and said slowly: "The person you said yesterday who has a noble status but is not involved in the party struggle is him!" ”
Qianqian Wan'er smiled, and her eyes fell on Jinyu's face: "Why don't I look at you more and less like a gambler?" ”
Jin Yu's thin lips hooked up a smile, took the cloak from Qianqian's hand and said: "People always change, if I have always been a gambler, how can I be worthy of your Nangong Hou Qianjin?" ”
Jin Yu shook off the cloak and put it on her body, and even made fun of Qianqian: "Although this cloak was not specially sent for me, I still thank the lady for her kindness!" ”
After speaking, he walked straight to Qianqian's casual carriage, and a clear voice came from afar: "I can only walk back home on weekdays, but today I have a carriage thanks to the lady!" ”
The sky reflected the snow, Qianqian looked at Jinyu's back, a little dizzy: is this period of time a dream or real, and the trick in that night's dream looks like a dream, but it is so real. Whether the crazy conjecture in my heart is correct, the fog will finally be lifted, and I don't know whether I will choose to meet calmly or continue to hide it at that time.
Qianqian endured the sourness in her eyes, quickly caught up with Jinyu, and the two took a carriage back to the house together.
