Chapter 14: Impulsiveness
When she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Yan took Wen Youran into her boudoir, and the maids hurriedly stepped forward to change their clothes, Liu Yan said to one of the maids: "Xiaoyu, you go and get a piece of my clothes and help Sister Youran dress up carefully." ”
Xiao Yu responded, hurriedly went to the side house to get clothes, Liu Yan saw Wen Youran carefully looking at all kinds of potted plants in her room, her eyes turned, and she glanced at Cui'er, who immediately understood, nodded slightly, and turned around to go to the side house. When she arrived at the side house, she saw that Xiaoyu really took a beautiful pink dress, Cui'er stepped forward and gave Xiaoyu a fierce look, grabbed the clothes, sorted them out carefully, and hung them back in the wardrobe, she carefully found a simple light blue lotus lace dress and put it in Xiaoyu's hand, Xiaoyu understood the meaning and nodded hurriedly.
Liu Yan looked at her well-dressed self from the bronze mirror, and said with a slight smile: "Sister Youran, today is my birthday, dress up plainly for you like this, you won't blame, right?" ”
Although there were some deliberate suspicions, Wen Youran could understand it, she smiled slightly, and said sincerely: "Yan'er is the protagonist today, of course she has to be beautiful, my sister doesn't mind." ”
Liu Yan nodded, and said with a bright smile: "Sister Youran is so good." ”
Wen Youran followed Liu Yan, through several side halls and a delicate covered bridge, to the place where the Prime Minister invited guests today, Wen Youran was surprised to find that Liu Yan's birthday banquet was so luxurious and high-profile, male guests and female guests were arranged separately on both sides of the performance stage in the middle of the garden, the scene was full of friends, cups and cups, lively and extraordinary, around the back of the guest position, is a long artificial pool, all kinds of koi fish swim in the meantime, so cheerful, all kinds of lanterns between the tree pavilions are exquisitely made, vivid, The number of people makes the whole banquet scene as bright as day, the main course is not served, and the long table in front of the guests is full of delicacies, all kinds of cakes and wines, and the fragrance is overflowing.
Wen leisurely followed behind Liu Yan, feeling a little uncomfortable, and for a moment, she took a deep breath, straightened her chest, and adjusted her mentality.
Liu Yan was wearing a pink dress, her elaborate makeup and hairstyle made her beautiful and extravagant, she moved the lotus step slowly from the steps of the covered bridge, the aisle was full of flowers, everyone focused on her, Liu Yan stopped at the end of the aisle, Liu Hongtai stepped forward, stood beside Liu Yan, and said to everyone: "Thank you for taking the time to participate in the little girl's birthday banquet, I am grateful, I hope everyone eats well, drinks well, and has fun today." ”
The scene immediately responded to warm applause, and when Liu Yan sat down in her seat, the singers and dancers immediately rushed to the middle stage to perform.
After Long Yizheng glanced at Liu Yan, his eyes were always on Wen Youran, she was simply dressed up with a gentle and lovely temperament, and her fair cheeks were even more delicate and beautiful.
"Yan'er's temperament has changed? How could you change to a maid who is more beautiful than yourself? A voice sounded from Liu Yan's side, the woman who sarcastically mocked her was Wei Bingyu, the daughter of the Imperial Doctor, she was dressed exquisitely today, the limelight almost overshadowed Liu Yan, she wore the most fashionable bun, embellished with expensive beads, she said, smiled lightly, two sweet dimples loomed on her cheeks.
Liu Yan turned her head and glanced at Wei Bingyu, her face immediately lengthened, and after a while, Liu Yan came to her senses, smiled slightly, hugged Wen Youran's arm, and said to Wei Bingyu: "Sister Bingyu misunderstood, this is Wen Youran, my good friend, and the daughter of Shangshu." ”
Wei Bingyu listened to her words, a little embarrassed, and hesitated whether to apologize to Wen Youran for Fang Cai's faux pas.
Wen Youran smiled back at Wei Bingyu, and asked first, "Who is this sister?" ”
Wei Bingyu was stunned for a moment, and said slightly unnaturally: "My name is Wei Bingyu, and my father is a doctor of imperial history." ”
"No wonder ......" Wen nodded leisurely, smiled slightly, and spit out half a sentence meaningfully.
Wei Bingyu's face instantly turned cold, and she was immediately displeased, but she couldn't reply to her words.
"Sister Bingyu is still angry about what happened last time?" Liu Yan picked up the wine jug and poured a glass for Wei Bingyu, put the wine jug away, picked up the wine glass on her table, and said apologetically, "It was Yan'er who was wrong last time, Yan'er drank it first, I hope Sister Bingyu doesn't have to worry about Yan'er again." With that, she stretched out her sleeve to cover it and drank the wine in one gulp.
Wei Bingyu smiled lightly and accepted unceremoniously: "It's good that my sister knows it's wrong." ”
Wen Youran didn't care about the contradictions between them, and she didn't want to care about Wei Bingyu's abrupt words just now, now she just wanted to leave early after finishing the meal quietly.
Liu Yan smiled on the surface, but she tried her best to hold back her emotions in her heart, she was so angry, she knew that Wei Bingyu was dressed up like this on purpose today, but she was helpless.
Wen raised her head leisurely, accidentally met Long Yizheng's gaze, her eyelashes trembled slightly, remembering her missed the appointment, she felt a little guilty in her heart, and immediately stopped looking at him.
Long Yizheng looked at Wen Youran with soft eyes, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, with a beautiful arc, and after a moment, his face sank again, and he took the wine glass and drank it all.
After the singer and dancer performance, Liu Yan took the initiative to come to the stage to stroke the piano for everyone, she stretched out her white jade hand, ten fingers on the strings back and forth, the beautiful sound poured out instantly, soft and moving, like a clear spring murmuring, and like the murmur of birds in the forest, a fold and three sighs, and then, the style of the song turned, the sound of the piano became sonorous and resolute, like a wave hitting a stone, the river entered the sea, shaking the heartstrings of everyone present......
I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the piano slowly stopped, but the music still seemed to float around, lingering for a long time......
The guests immediately burst into applause......
Towards the end of the banquet, Liu Hongtai walked straight to the middle of the performance stage, he clapped his palms, and after a while, the sky burst into a gorgeous salute flower.
With the loud sound of "crackling--", the fireworks suddenly bloomed, shining the entire night sky, and bursts of meteor-like sparks fell straight from the sky, like a rain of petals, which changed in an instant, and was beautiful......
People stood up one after another, and the beautiful scenery in front of them seemed to be within reach.
It's beautiful! Wen leisurely stared up at the sky, a bright smile on the corner of his mouth.
Long Yizheng didn't seem to be interested in this beautiful scenery, his eyes couldn't help but look at Wen Youran, looking at Wen Youran's happy appearance, Long Yizheng was in a trance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Liu Yan has been paying attention to Long Yizheng, and found that he looked at Wen Youran with a smile, and trembled slightly with anger, for a long time, Liu Yan calmed down, and saw that Wen Youran and Wei Bingyu were standing next to the pool, Liu Yan smiled coldly, and while Long Yizheng was socializing, he suddenly stepped forward and hit Wen Youran hard.
Wen Youran's body couldn't control Wei Bingyu who was leaning in front, and with a "po......of", Wei Bingyu was squeezed into the artificial pool half waist deep, Wen Youran was startled, and hurriedly reached out to pull her up.
