Chapter 183: Modesty
"Ma'am." The ancient rumor stepped forward and whispered in her ear.
Su Xiaojin only felt that something was stuffed in his palm. The Queen Mother was beside her, so she didn't want to open it directly, so she pretended to cough, covered her face with a handkerchief, and opened her palm.
"Sister, I'll see you in the hall at one hour." Notes Juanxiu, at first glance, it is Xiao Yu's words.
She looked at Xiao Yu, who was sitting next to the queen on the other side, and the other party nodded at her slightly, her eyes full of trust. She also responded, secretly putting the note away.
"I have heard for a long time that Tang Fan is full of talent and extraordinary bearing, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation. Tang Houye, he is really a good godson, and even his son is so good, you are really out of reach! At the banquet, an old minister stood up not to be outdone.
Tang Fan, who was originally full of confidence, heard him say this, and his face changed. It's a concubine again, yes, he's not a son-in-law, but is it his fault? is also the son of the Hou Ye, why should he be inferior, just because his mother is Meng?
Tang Chuan, who was at the banquet, didn't expect someone to stir up the situation, and in front of the civil and military officials, he couldn't get off the stage, and he trembled with anger. He looked up and saw that it was none other than his sworn enemy Meng Xianxian. This guy also has a son at home, and I heard that he is also talented and beautiful, and he wants to be the master of the horse.
"Where, Doctor Meng also has a talented son, I heard that not only can he make a fuss, but Dou Cricket is also the best among the sons and brothers in the capital!" Not to be outdone, Tang Chuan fought back. Today is the day when his son is in the limelight, and this old thing doesn't know how to stand in his way.
For a while, the two were tense, and they were quite on the verge of breaking out. Tang Muchen quietly poured himself a glass of wine, picked it up and drank it all.
Su Xiaojin found out that although it was a Mid-Autumn Festival state banquet, everyone had a ghost in their hearts, and it was really sinister.
The Queen Mother naturally heard this ominous voice, and glanced at the emperor with dissatisfaction. The emperor naturally knew what the old man meant, so he smiled and came out to mediate.
"It seems that today's poetry is very exciting, the two Aiqing are both veterans of the imperial court, and the children are naturally taught differently from ordinary people, and it is understandable that they are comparable for a while, just drinking and composing poems, don't care too much." After the emperor finished speaking, he clapped his palms, gave Gonggong Liu next to him a look, and motioned him to let the dancing girls sing and dance.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoqian, who had been silent, suddenly stood up. Tang Muchen's face changed for a while, and he looked at him with a frown.
Su Xiaojin also looked at his younger brother nervously, so frightened that he didn't dare to come out. This idiot just wants to win the attention of the princess, and he doesn't even want his life, which is really stupid.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has a sentence, I don't know if I should say it or not." Su Xiaoqian stood up and stood straight.
His voice was not tight, and everyone looked over. Clear-eyed people know that the emperor is easing the atmosphere and deliberately letting people perform songs and dances, but he was actually interrupted by this short-eyed guy.
For a while, the civil and military officials looked at Su Xiaoqian in surprise, ridicule or gloating, waiting for his next move.
"Say." The emperor was displeased, but for the sake of face, he still agreed to Su Xiaoqian.
Su Xiaoqian walked out of his seat, walked to the center of the main hall, and saluted respectfully to the emperor.
Almost subconsciously, the third princess glanced at Su Xiaojin, and she wondered if this was planned by them. But Su Xiaojin only cares about being frightened, where does he have the heart to care about others.
"Your Majesty asked the moon to compose a poem today, and the minister feels that the moon is above the main hall." Su Xiaoqian said unhurriedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers began to discuss, 'They talked to each other about who the moon was. If you talk about the emperor, he is the Son of Heaven, and comparing him to the moon is ridiculous and generous.
"Su Aiqing, what do you mean by this?" The emperor lowered his face and stared at Su Xiaoqian and asked.
"The emperor is the honor of the ninety-five, the pride of the sky. The queen is graceful and luxurious, and the mother is the world. So the third princess, as the daughter of the dragon and phoenix, is more suitable than the moon. Su Xiaoqian said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Tang Muchen's face did not move, but he couldn't help but smile in his heart. is worthy of being Su Xiaojin's younger brother, and his clever words are not half as bad as his sister.
The Queen Mother's eyes also focused on Su Xiaoqian.
What a handsome man!
She squinted her eyes and looked her up and down.
It seemed that he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with long black hair curled high, bright eyes as firm as torches, a high nose, and a ruddy cherry mouth. Dressed in a blue brocade robe, with a dark belt around his waist, and a pair of black boots on his legs, he stood out in the crowd with his gestures.
The Queen Mother was amazed in her heart, she only cared about eating vegetables, and she didn't realize that His Royal Highness had such an excellent man.
"Who is this person? How do you feel so raw! The Queen Mother turned her head and asked Mama Liu beside her.
"Back to the Queen Mother, this person is Su Xiaoqian, the younger brother of the concubine......" Su Xiaojin hurriedly reported to the house. Today is for the princess, if the younger brother enters the eyes of the queen mother, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort.
The Queen Mother nodded again and again, but smiled and said nothing, but there was a lot of appreciation in her eyes.
The Queen Mother turned her head to look at Xiao Yu behind her, and found that she was looking at Su Xiaoqian affectionately, and the smile on her face unconsciously became stronger.
The woman is not staying, this clever ghost, dare to love is a suitable colt in her heart, no wonder she is reluctant to arrange a marriage for her.
"You say the princess is the moon, but does it mean anything else?" The majestic voice of the Queen Mother sounded in the main hall.
"Tell the Queen Mother, the ancients said, the so-called beauty, with flowers as the appearance, birds as the sound, the moon as the god, the willow as the state, the jade as the bone, the ice and snow as the skin, the autumn water as the posture, the poetry as the heart, the three princesses all have." Su Xiaoqian responded calmly, and his words were full of admiration for the princess.
"Sure enough, it's still what Dr. Su said, the talent and beauty of the third princess are all responsible for taking the moon as a god." When everyone heard it, they all praised it.
Tang Fan was stunned in place, never thinking that his limelight would be stolen by Su Xiaoqian, a guy from a humble background, and his face was pale for a while, which was very ugly.
Tang Chuan also looked at this poor boy who was killed halfway indignantly, if Tang Fan was a concubine, this Su Xiaoqian didn't even have parents, let alone want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, it was a big joke in the world.
The third princess, Xiao Yu, was flushed at the moment, like sitting on pins and needles. She didn't expect Su Xiaoqian to comment on herself like this, she was ashamed and happy, and she was a little overwhelmed.
"Haha, I know that you have a talent for governing the country, but I don't want to appreciate beauties! The pearl of my palm naturally takes on this moon! The emperor laughed, and his words were full of appreciation.
