Chapter Forty-Eight: The Master of the Husband
On the fifth day of the winter month, Chinese New Year's Eve, on the occasion of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, Yin Linxi's father set up a banquet in Ganquan Palace to entertain all princes and grandchildren.
And I, the newlywed princess, was even more miserable, not only did I not know any of the people who came, but also brought Mo Daier to the dinner party in a grand manner, so that those people exchanged greetings and discussed my newly married "fall out of favor" crown princess.
Hehe... At this time, I am really a prairie above my head! But follow the etiquette system, in order to avoid falling into the truth, I can't leave without permission.
But if I stay, the atmosphere at this time is really embarrassing for me...
At this time, in the crowd, I don't know which one opened his voice without eyesight, "You are the crown princess, right?" ”
As this crisp voice fell, countless eyes came to me.
I couldn't stand this kind of scene the most, so I smiled and nodded to the ladies in fine clothes, until I saw a woman in a lake-blue robe walking towards me with a wine cup in the middle of the banquet filled with sheng songs.
"Greetings to the crown princess!" When she walked up to me, she saluted me upright, and I saw that face clearly, with bright eyes and bright teeth, eye waves, and indescribable elegance between gestures, she was really a beauty, but who was she?
Seeing her enthusiastic face, I raised my eyebrows and thought about it, but I was really not impressed.
The woman also seemed to see my thoughts, and said with a smile, "The concubine is Wu Mu's family, and the husband Wu Gang was fortunate to accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to envoy Zhongli, and after coming back, the concubine often heard the husband mention how the crown princess was graceful, which made the concubine yearn for it. ”
Looking at the smile on her face, I couldn't help but twitch the corners of my mouth, and sighed in my heart...
is a master who can speak well, and this vinegary remark was said by her clever mouth, and there was no sense of disobedience.
It's just that she just said that her husband is Wu Gang, who has been with Yin Linxi to Zhongli? But who is that?
I only felt that the name Wu Gang was a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, a rough face flashed in my mind.
Only then did I remember, wasn't Wu Gang the uncle who poured me wine when I first saw Yin Linxi? Is this woman in front of you actually the uncle's wife?
I think it's very incredible, because that uncle seems to be at least not confused, and this Wu Mu's face is pink, and he looks like eighteen or nineteen at most, such two people are actually husband and wife?
I was stunned for a moment, and in order to avoid embarrassment, I got up and saluted her again, "Thank you, Mrs. Wu, for your praise." ”
Wu Mushi was stunned for a moment, and then raised a bright smile, "The crown princess is really polite. ”
Anyway, she looked at me as if she was attracted by something...
I also followed her line of sight and looked at Yin Linxi, who was drinking alone on the right, and Mo Daier, who was constantly flattering beside him.
Just as I was about to speak, Wu Mushi suddenly walked up to me and pulled me aside, muttering, "Crown Princess, what is this?" ”
"What?"
"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the one next to him..."
I saw that her gesture of covering her lips with one hand was very funny, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly and teased, "Maybe it's His Royal Highness the Prince's new love!" ”
"Huh?" Wu Mushi seemed to be taken aback for some reason.
I was taken aback by her and wondered, "What's wrong with Mrs. Wu?" ”
Wu Mushi pulled me and walked a few more steps, with a "serious" expression, and said to me, "Crown Princess, don't blame me for talking too much, although this Crown Princess is not an uncommon thing, but you have just married His Royal Highness the Prince, if you tolerate that person at this time, I am afraid that your status will be in the future..."
She didn't finish her sentence, she just looked at me with a sigh, and I couldn't help but be interested when I saw the huge difference between her reaction and the first time she saluted me.
Pretending to be distressed, he said, "Then what should I do as you see it?" ”
"This woman..."Wu Mushi spoke, glancing at Yin Linxi's side, and when he was sure that the two of them were not paying attention to our side, he continued reassuringly, "This woman, you have to keep the man, you can't keep the man just by appearance, you have to know how to put it away properly!" ”
"Retract?" I raised my eyebrows, amused by her words, "How do you call it retraction?" ”
Wu Mushi said mysteriously, "You have to give him sweetness when you are happy, but this sweetness can't be given too easily, you have to make him wait, and... When you're angry, keep three rules in mind: turn down your voice, slow down, and try to express yourself in three sentences! If he doesn't understand, you turn around and leave, and don't stop, man... I can't stand this feeling of being separated the most. ”
"Huh?" I looked at Wu Mushi in amazement, good guy, I see that she is not very old, according to what she said, she is really a master of husbandry!
As for whether it is useful or not...
In the blink of an eye, my eyes fell on Yin Linxi, who was surrounded by a group of old ministers at this time, and kept sending wine cups to his lips after complimenting each other.
"Will this work?" I opened my mouth.
Wu Mushi's face suddenly turned red, he took my hand and patted it, "Don't be afraid of the princess's jokes when you say it, the concubine married her husband at the age of thirteen, this husband and wife get along with each other is a matter of knowledge, and now the princess will naturally face many problems when she is newly married, but you have to remember that many things should not be rushed, otherwise it will be a big loss for others to take advantage of the loopholes." ”
"Uh..."To be honest, I didn't quite understand what she meant.
Wu Mushi pursed his lips and smiled, took my hand and walked towards the center of Ganquan Palace.
Then he bowed to Yin Linxi's father and the queen Li on the main seat, "The courtier Wu Mu has the audacity to disturb Sheng'an!" ”
As this not light or heavy voice fell, the originally noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on the two of us like raindrops.
What's going on?
I stretched out my hand weakly and secretly pulled the corner of Wu Mu's clothes, but this guy waved his hand and dusted my hand off?
My eyes widened in astonishment.
At this moment, Yin Linxi's old father said suddenly, "Wu Mushi, what do you have to do?" ”
Wu Mushi lowered his head a little lower, waved his hand and replied, "Your Majesty, on this occasion of the Spring Festival, the courtiers have the courage to ask for something!" ”
"Oh?" Father Yin Linxi's gaze wandered back and forth between me and Wu Mu's family, and a trace of interest appeared on his vicissitudes of life, "What's the matter?" ”
"The courtiers heard Zhongli's husband mention it earlier, saying that the princess's piano skills are first-class, and the ten fingers are plucked like sliding heaven, so that the listener is also open-minded and cheerful in the dark, and the courtiers are very yearning after listening to it, and today I am fortunate to see the princess, so I dare to ask for a song to add some joy and auspiciousness to this New Year, and I hope the emperor will approve it!"
After that, Wu Mushi was a deep bow again, and I was stunned by her, and then I realized that she was pulling me here to let me play the qin?
"What's so hard about that?" I saw Yin Linxi's father "hehe" smiled, and then raised his big hand very freely, "Come on, prepare the piano!" ”
"Emperor Xie!" After Wu Mushi thanked me, he turned around and winked at me playfully, shook my hand slightly, and whispered "Come on" before withdrawing.
And I haven't reacted for a long time, is this a bullet or not?
It wasn't until there were two attendants behind him who put the piano stand under their noses that I remembered to salute Yin Linxi's father, "Father, Mrs. Wu really loves her, and her daughter-in-law's little skill may be difficult to get into the hall of elegance, but today's New Year, since Mrs. Wu opened her mouth, her daughter-in-law had no choice but to offer her ugliness, and the clumsy piano skills will please all of you present Duoduo Haihan." ”
With that, I lowered my eyes and turned to the full house of guests, which attracted a lot of praise.
Yin Linxi's father also smiled with satisfaction and nodded at me.
Then, I slowly sat down in front of the piano stand, my fingers stroking the strings...
I recall the last time I played the piano, it was also in such a banquet, my father sat on the main seat, the face that had been eroded by the years was full of love and looked at me, and his eyes were full of pride.
As the bitterness gradually spreads from the bottom of my heart, as soon as my hand moves, the sound of the strings comes like flowing water...
Then a song of the spring river flowers and moonlit nights, between the fingers...
It's just that until the end of the song, there was still silence in the Ganquan Palace.
I paused for a moment, looked into the tips of my fingers, and thought... Could it be that I didn't play the piano correctly?
After a while, I only heard Wu Mushi suddenly let out a "yes", and the whole hall immediately erupted in warm applause.
It made my heart feel relieved, and I hurriedly got up to salute back, thinking that it would be enough to finish the performance, but when I was about to bow and retreat to Yin Linxi's father, the voices of the crowd discussing me became louder and louder, and two of them even came forward to praise me.
It made me very embarrassed, but it was difficult to refute the face of others, so I had to humbly say "where, where" when they praised him, while searching for Yin Linxi's figure in the crowd.
But the strange thing is that only the old minister who had greeted him in his seat was left, and the jealous Mo Daier on his face.
What about Yin Linxiren? Just as I was looking left and right to look for Yin Linxi, my hand was suddenly grabbed in my hand.
When I raised my eyes, Yin Linxi was already standing beside me, and there was a hint of shadow on the gorgeous face lined with the dark robe.
"Yin Linxi?" I looked at the side of his face in amazement, and the cold temperature between my fingers made me shiver unconsciously.
But Yin Linxi just leaned over to his father and said, "Father, this qin is also finished, Erchen looks at the princess and seems to be a little tired, so I will take her back to rest today, and Shu Erchen will retire first." ”
After saying that, Yin Linxi lowered his body slightly to the other guests, and after expressing his apology, he couldn't help but take my hand and walk outside the Ganquan Palace.
One of them didn't even look at me.
I was like a monk who was confused, and then looked behind me, only to see that in the lively banquet, Wu Mushi showed me a smile with deep meaning, and then said something on his lips.
Following the curvature of the corners of her mouth, I thought to myself for a while, and then I realized that she was talking about the word "come on".
But what kind of oil to add?
I looked back at the slightly angry dark figure in front of me...
Come on?
