Chapter 155: Cheeky and helpless
The peach and plum smiled around Ke Zhi, and the lonely fang gradually drifted away with the flowing water.
The West Garden of Ci'an Palace, accompanied by only a few cochineal plum trees in the shallow canal, decorates the cold and lonely whole winter, when the grass grows and the warbler flies, the earth warms up, but can no longer resist the more and more gentle spring breeze, and say goodbye to Kezhi.
The flowers are red, but they have never been gloomy.
On the bank of the shallow canal, a dark blue robe stands under the plum, with the background of the sparse incense oblique ke, and the figure is more slender and delicate.
Yu Feng raised his cheeks slightly, his ink eyes were filled with a warm spring sun, and there was a dark shadow of a cold plum that was still reluctant to say goodbye.
He still clearly remembered that back then, the girl who had been quietly describing in his mind for many years finally met on this day.
Or it can't be called a meeting, it was he who looked through the peach, saw her playing with others, and the spring sunshine of Jinyangjing should have been pale, and it was unbelievably brilliant on her face.
He felt that they had known each other for many years, and the woman in front of him was the person he kept decribing, whether it was eyebrows or posture.
At this time, she is a little more sensitive than back then, and she is also full of depth.
But still, he always cherishes it in his memory and is reluctant to forget it.
It's just that this year, I shouldn't see her soft and graceful pen and ink, writing down the little words that amazed him.
I don't know what new lyrics and songs will be made in this life? Yu Feng couldn't help but be curious and expectant.
Suddenly, a pair of cool hands came around his eyelids from behind, because he was holding his feet, his soft body had to be close to his waist, and the girl's unique fragrant breath warmed the back of his neck uncontrollably.
For a while, the warbler sounded far away, and he clearly heard the beating in his chest, which became loud and loud.
The line of sight clearly fell into a gloom, but there was a delicate sun in front of him, and he clearly saw that under the bright peach color back then, the smile was like a flower.
He thought that she must be smiling at this time, and her lips were fluttering, with a narrow edge.
Yes, there is no need to guess, the fresh smell of magnolia flowers unique to her body, he has already remembered in his heart.
But he hesitated and asked, "Is it Aunt Ru?" ”
Yijing sighed secretly, let go of his hand, and stood firm in frustration: "How did Brother Feng guess that it was mine?" ”
She knew that the question was deliberate.
Yu Feng turned around and looked at Yi Jingwei biting his lip, the slightly tight arc of the corners of his lips tugged at his heartstrings, and he couldn't help but stretch out his palms, and finally just rubbed the top of the girl's soft hair: "In the West Garden of Ci'an Palace, how many can be like no one?" The palace ladies around the Queen Mother didn't dare to be so presumptuous. ”
Yijing sighed again: "Seeing that Brother Feng is so focused on appreciating plums, I wanted to scare you, but this time it fell short." Then he was full of smiles: "This year's Fanglin banquet, with the participation of Brother Feng, it will be much more interesting than in previous years. ”
"I'm judging the Queen Mother's mother today, and I will be iron-faced and selfless, and the fifth sister will never think that three or two good words can please me, right?" Yu Feng pretended to be serious, and when the palm of his hand was withdrawn, he had to bear behind him, so that he could hold back his imminent move.
Yijing pretended to be sad: "As soon as my mind moved, I was fully understood by you again...... I had to give up. ”
Suddenly, a gust of wind rose, and there were countless reds, sprinkled all over the shoulders of the two people.
A pair of jade people in the prime of life, standing in the bright spring scenery, envying the yellow warbler on the branches, so they became pairs of wings, which seemed to show the intimacy between lovers, and then chanted tactfully, between singing and singing, like the harmony of the piano.
The atmosphere was so beautiful that the corners of the eyes of someone who had just stepped into the West Garden at this time hurt.
The eyes of the third prince were cold, the palms in the crow-blue open sleeves couldn't help clenching, the smoke eyebrows seemed to frown, the corners of his lips smiled, he strode forward, and raised his voice from afar: "The prince is really here!" When he got to the side of Huaxi, under the plum mangrove tree, he was a little surprised: "It turns out that the fifth sister is also there?" When I saw it from a distance just now, I thought it was the son of the world and the brothers and sisters of An Ran gossiping here. ”
Yi Jing was about to talk to Yu Feng about that Doctor Hu and analyze whether Mama Song would use him to harm, but she was "intervened" by such an uninvited guest, and she was very dissatisfied, and she was secretly disappointed, but she had to step forward and give a blessing: "Your Royal Highness is good." Although he never looked cold, his respectful demeanor was rejecting.
The third prince became more and more unwilling, his eyes flickered slightly on the faces of the two, and he coughed lightly: "The fifth sister treats me a lot strangely, to put it mildly, we are also brothers and sisters, so we should be closer." ”
"Your Royal Highness is the prince after all, and the little girl doesn't dare to neglect etiquette." The scenery is still lukewarm.
"The fifth sister calculated me that day and made me drunk with tincture, why was she unscrupulous?" The three princes pulled the corners of their lips, but they didn't give up.
Yu Feng didn't speak, quietly staring at the complex emotions seeping from the eyes of the third prince, and the palm held behind his waist couldn't help but tighten a little.
Yijing raised his eyebrows, pretending to be puzzled: "Your Highness, this is a crime that you want to add, that day it was clear that the Queen Mother was distressed that the little girl was small, so she let Her Highness drink on her behalf, His Royal Highness was bold, and those who came did not refuse, so that he was defeated later, and I think he underestimated the amount of alcohol of the eunuchs." ”
"Even so, the fifth sister owes me a favor." The third prince also seemed to be aware of Yu Feng's vigilance, but he didn't respond, still staring at Yijing: "I remember it in my heart, sooner or later, I will ask my sister for it." ”
What a wickedness! Yijing sighed helplessly: "I'm afraid that the little girl is weak, so I have to be cheeky and owe it this time." ”
Do you want to pay the bill? The third prince smiled even more: "I won't be embarrassed for the fifth sister, even if I want you to return this favor, it is within my power." ”
This is not reluctant, Yi Jing gritted his teeth, impatiently quarreled with him, turned to Yu Feng and said: "Maybe the Queen Mother is idle now, let's go and take a look, and when we say hello, it will be time for the banquet." ”
Do you want to escape? The third prince sneered in his heart, and then raised his eyes to look at Yu Feng: "When I just came, I heard that the queen mother was talking to her grandmother, let's say hello, and we have to wait a while, that day in Tangquan Palace, and the prince to learn chess skills, I am slightly inferior, I am fortunate to get the son of the world, these days I have consciously improved a few points, why not take advantage of this time, and ask for another game?" The fifth sister is just a witness. ”
At the moment, he couldn't help but say, stepped forward and took Yu Feng's arm, and went to the flower hall outside the garden.
The three princes saved up enough strength this time, and wanted to "raise their eyebrows" in front of Yijing, and "frustrate" Yu Feng between black and white, but the sky did not follow people's wishes, and the palace maids just held the chessboard and chess pieces, such as the aunt, they came to pass the three nobles to meet.
"Shizi, this victory or defeat has to be left for the future." The third prince was not depressed, seeing that Yijing walked away with Aunt Ru first, don't smile deeply.
Yu Feng smiled back, his eyes as clear as water, and looked directly at the undercurrent in the eyes of the three princes: "Regarding Yiyi, being so obsessed with winning or losing, it is really a loss of taste, just like everything in the world, it is difficult to judge the gains and losses, but if His Royal Highness cares, Feng will not avoid it." "Humility is a battle.
However, the beautiful scenery that has already left, naturally she has not noticed, and she seems to have become a bargaining chip in the competition......
After greeting her, it was time for the banquet, and the queen mother asked the chamberlain to pass the invited nobleman Langjun and Zong's relatives to the Pearl Garden, and personally returned with Yijing, Yu Feng, and the three princes.
And at this time, in the peach blossom forest, the people who are "all watching" are no longer An Hui and Pingle, or surprised, or suspicious, or disdainful, or ridiculed, or looking forward to the show, all of them are focused on the woman who has already entered the table, sitting side by side with the Wen lady, wearing a colorful begonia around the branches and carving silk clothes, combing a three-stamen lily bun, wearing a golden phoenix with beads and silk, still shining brightly, like a spring breeze.
Yu Feng only met the queen and the crown princess, and as soon as he turned around, he felt two cold eyes, raised his eyes, but saw Zhen Mo quietly looking at the beautiful scene of the ceremony with the queen, he obviously didn't expect that after such a turmoil in the old year, Zhen Mo would be so cheeky, dressed up, and openly appeared at the Fanglin banquet, couldn't help frowning slightly, and sat down with Yu Zhou.
It wasn't until she returned to the table that she noticed Zhen Mo, and she was also stunned.
"I came with the crown princess, and I just had a few arguments with An Hui." Liu Niang whispered.
Although the current aristocratic banquet, most of them use a round table of eight people to sit together, but on the palace banquet, there are still several long pairs of sitting, although it is not like the ancient system of the rule of sitting on the knees, and the rose chair is also set up, but it is a single or double person in the same case, according to the title of the family and the official position of the father and ancestor, sit in turn.
Therefore, the children of the clan are naturally in the first column, and in turn, they are the children of the prince, the candidate, and the earl, and then the families of the invited courtiers.
Zhen Mo's father is a marquis, and he is a relative of the emperor, and her position happens to be in the Yijing case, but she is behind the clan women such as the lord of Pingle.
Originally, when Gaozu was in power, there were four princes of the country, and the British duke was implicated in the nine clans because of Jiao Yue's rebellion, and the title was naturally not guaranteed; Back then, Duke Wei Guo, although he sought self-protection, ignored Concubine Yao and the six princes, but when Duke Wei Guo died of illness, he was also taken away; There is another prince of Xianguo, whose son-in-law was also co-sponsored by Qin Xiang, and he was charged with "overstepping" and reduced to favor. At present, only the Su family is left in the position of the national prince.
In terms of the prominent title, the Zhen family is second only to the Weiguo Mansion.
Er Niang and Si Niang are only the nieces of Wei Guogong, and they should be ranked below the marquis, and they are farther away from Yijing and Liuniang.
When the Queen Mother was seated, everyone sang a promise with the attendants, and they all attended and saluted in unison.
After the ceremony, the Queen Mother gave her a seat again, and everyone sat down one by one.
I don't know how An Hui argued with Zhen Mo just now, but looking at her expression, she obviously didn't take any advantage, then she glanced back at Zhen Mo and took the lead in making a move: "Ah Jing, you were in Lingshan Xiapu Garden that day, and I heard that you were almost stained by Zhen Si's bloody mouth, but is it true?" At this time, the sound of silk music did not start, and An Hui's words were very loud, so that the crown princess who was on the side of the chief heard it clearly, not to mention the nobles around her.
There was a lot of talking.
Although most of the Lang Jun on the opposite side did not hear An Hui's words clearly, but in view of the situation, they probably guessed the reason for this disturbance, some frowned slightly, some were very contemptuous, and some were indifferent, but most of them were overt and secretly, paying attention to the situation on the little ladies' side.
Yi Jing smiled slightly, looked at Zhen Mo, and her expression had changed from surprise to calm: "The Queen Mother has made a conclusion on this matter. ”
"That's right, the Queen Mother reprimanded Zhen Si for being vicious in public, and she didn't want anyone to be so cheeky, and she was embarrassed." An Hui snorted coldly: "Such a vicious and unrepentant person, we are not ashamed to meet with him." After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, with righteous words on his face, and looked left and right, as if he was trying to win over people who hated the same enemy.
After all, it was a palace banquet, and there was a crown princess sitting there, although Zhongmei was ashamed of Zhen Mo, but in the end, she was afraid, especially the people around her, who avoided An Hui's blazing gaze, for fear of getting involved in this right and wrong.
An Hui couldn't find an alliance, so she had to force Yi Jing: "Ah Jing, Zhen Si almost killed your future sister-in-law's life, even I am not angry for you, can you and Liuniang swallow your anger?" ”
As soon as these words came out, many eyes were focused on the two concubines of the Guogong Mansion, and some people secretly looked at the princess's very worried look.
