Chapter 36 [King Ke's Banquet II]
"Hey," Princess Jing, who had already walked to the edge of the pool, was almost startled when she saw Ye Junyi flashing out from behind the rockery, and said loudly, "I said Mrs. Xu, why are you here?" ”
"No," Ye Junyi excitedly put a spring flower in her hand, "This is a spring flower, and the concubine likes it the most." ”
"What kind of rare thing do I have, so happy that Madame is," Princess Jing threw away the flowers, and hurriedly pulled her away, "I have called you for a long time, the emperor and the queen have arrived with the favored Yun Jieyu and Zhou Meiren, everyone has gone to worship, and Princess Ke has called someone to urge you and me many times." ”
Ye Junyi also hurried back after hearing this. When I walked to the edge of the open space, I saw that the nobles who had gathered together in twos and threes just now were already sitting in a regular column, and in a begonia flower forest, I could only hear the chirping of sparrows.
In the pavilion where I saw the two princes just now, I could see a person in bright yellow clothes sitting in it from a distance, and on both sides were several women in gorgeous clothes. Downwards are small tables for two people in two rows, where some high-ranking nobles sit. Spread out on both sides of the Eight Immortals table, even then only a very small number of guests can sit here. Most of the guests who are not high enough are arranged in the lobby outside.
A subordinate quietly led the two from behind from their respective positions, Xu Ziqian was not there, she arranged to sit at the same table with Bai Yiyi at the head of King Jing and his wife. This arrangement surprised Ye Junyi very much, Xu Ziqian's official position should be lowly here, how can he sit at the head of King Jing and others. Her heart moved, it seems that Mrs. Zhou once said that Xu Ziqian was treated very holyly in the court, and what she said was quite weighty, and it seems that this statement should be true in this treatment.
Ye Junyi lowered his eyebrows and walked over and sat down next to Bai Yiyi, and all kinds of delicacies and wines were already on the table in front of him.
"Where did my sister and Princess Jing go to play just now?" Bai Yiyi asked her in a low voice.
She lowered her head and was about to answer, but suddenly heard a woman on her head ask loudly, "Then it was Marquis Xu's newlywed wife who sat down just now?" ”
Ye Junyi was startled, and suddenly raised his head to look at the people in the pavilion in front of him, it was okay not to look at it, but he was even more stupid to stay there - the old man sitting on the top ........
"Bold woman!" At this moment, I heard the woman shouting angrily just now, "You came masked in front of the emperor, what do you want?" ”
This drink woke up the stupid Ye Junyi, she slowly got up, walked closer, and knelt on the ground: "Concubine Xu Ye has seen the emperor and all the maidens. ”
"Be bold ....." The lady was about to reprimand again, but at this time, she saw the emperor slowly stop talking: "Hey, Yun Jieyu don't scare Mrs. Xu anymore, and listen to Mrs. Xu first." ”
"But it's not," the other lady who was sitting under Yun Jie Yu said very dissatisfiedly at this time, "Your Majesty, this cousin of the concubine is the most gentle and skillful, and she handles things decently, so there must be a reason." But my sister is young after all, and she was scolded by Yun Jieyu, but everyone was scared stupid, so there was a reason. ”
"So gentle and skillful, good and decent." Yun Jieyu sneered and walked down from his seat, "Zhou Meiren, isn't your father rumored that your cousin is the number one beauty in the capital?" Let me wait and see what this first beauty looks like. ”
As she spoke, she was already beside Ye Junyi, so she wanted to lower her body to remove the veil, but Ye Junyi's body flashed, and she opened the void. Yun Jie didn't want her to be so bold, he was annoyed and ashamed, and couldn't help but stay on the spot in anger.
"Back to the emperor," Ye Junyi stood up and blessed the old man sitting in the middle, "The concubine was stung by a bee when she first entered the flower forest, and half of her face was red and swollen. As for the rumors, the concubine's parents are in mourning, and the uncle and aunt regard the concubine as their personal love, and their own daughter is the most beautiful and moving in the world. I hope that the saint and all the ladies will forgive their sins. ”
"Hehe," the old man in bright yellow clothes shook his folding fan and chuckled a few times, "I see." Although this flower is beautiful, there are indeed many insects. Women's families love beauty the most, and Mrs. Xu is not only stung, but it is excusable, Yun Jieyu is embarrassed Mrs., let Mrs. sit back.
Yun Jieyu listened, snorted coldly, and returned to his seat stupidly.
Ye Junyi gave Zhou Meiren a smile in gratitude, Zhou Meiren took a glass of wine and gave her a look, drank the wine, and stopped looking at her.
"Thank you for your grace." Ye Junyi blessed again, and turned back to his seat.
"Everyone, Aiqing," the emperor raised his glass and said to everyone, "Today, there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers, everyone is free, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return." Come on, come on, have a drink. ”
"Your Majesty." The people in the garden hurriedly got up and took a glass of wine and drank with the emperor's husband.
"Smack, smack." Listening to Si Yi's loud slap twice, a few crisp chimes came, and then Xiao, flute, qin and other music greeted and played, and the dancing girl wearing a semi-transparent light veil on the verandah flew into the field like a fairy in the sky.
"When did my sister offend Yu Yunjieyu?" Bai Yiyi elegantly picked up the wine glass, looked at the head and asked Ye Junyi.
Ye Junyi raised her eyes and saw that Yun Jieyu was looking at her with fire-breathing eyes, as if she wanted to dig out her heart and lungs at this time, but when she saw Ye Junyi looking at her, she withdrew her eyes gloomily and drank the wine in her hand.
"No, I didn't." Ye Junyi ignored this person, and played with the wine glass in her hand by herself, she didn't drink, and she took the wine glass just to make a show.
"Oh," Bai Yiyi put down the wine glass lightly and looked directly in front of them again, "I heard that person is Yun Jieyu's younger brother who has been missing for many years, and he found it a few days ago. This person actually lived in the Hanlin Academy for many years as a historian and revised. The two sisters and brothers are so close to each other, but they haven't seen each other for many years, sister, do you say it's strange? ”
Ye Junyi followed her gaze and saw that the person sitting on the Eight Immortals table in front of her was actually Yun Gong Qiu. Yun Gongqiu kept looking at her, and when he saw the two of them, he quietly moved his eyes to the dancing girls on the field.
"Oh, there are such ...... Affair. Ye Junyi chuckled lightly, and was about to withdraw his gaze, but saw that there was a middle-aged man in a dark blue forged robe on the table next to Yun Gongqiu, who was also looking at her, and that look was very familiar, and it seemed to contain strong dissatisfaction. She was about to take a closer look, but the man withdrew his gaze and drank to himself. She chuckled to herself and set her eyes on the dance floor.
These dancers are dressed in light yarns, like the fairies of Yaochi descending to earth, dancing beautifully, especially in the end, they take off all the yarn clothes, revealing almost naked graceful bodies, and there is a burst of men's joyful laughter and slapping on the field, at this time, the music gradually subsides, and the dancers leave again.
"Good, good," the emperor also clapped his hands happily, "Come on, see it." ”
"Hehe," at this time, the queen, who had never made a sound by the emperor's side, chuckled, and said to the emperor charmingly, "Your Majesty, although these dancing girls dance well, how can they dance lightly and gracefully." Now that the emperor is so interested, Yun Jieyu might as well dance a song to cheer the emperor. ”
"Okay!" When King Najing heard this, he didn't see the eyes of his wife next to him who wanted to kill him, he clapped his slap and stood up and shouted, "Since the queen said so, the emperor will let the ministers open their eyes." ”
"Hahaha, okay," the emperor laughed happily a few times, and said to Yun Jieyu, "Concubine Ai will dance today, I haven't seen Concubine Ai's graceful dance for a long time." ”
Yun Jie listened, he was already in a bad mood, and he was even more angry at this time.
"Your Majesty, the concubine's body is ....... today" Yun Jie wanted to shirk when he attended the blessing.
"Huh?"
But before she finished speaking, the emperor, who was still in high spirits, turned his face dark, and looked at her gloomily, Yun Jieyu couldn't help but snort when he saw this, and quickly stopped. Silently retreated and prepared.
Seeing this, Ye Junyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Yun Jie Yu is also a princess, and he is compared with a dancing girl here, this queen is jealous, King Jing is ridiculous, and the emperor does not defend her for half a point. The emperor's behavior is actually the same as Xu Ziqian's attitude towards his noble concubines.
In less than half a cup of tea, there was a burst of music in his ears, and Yun Jieyu, who had already taken off his gorgeous clothes and changed into a red gauze robe, was surrounded by a group of dancers in white gauze clothes, standing in the middle of the field and dancing.
"Hey!"
"Heh," Yiyi heard Ye Junyi's unreachable sigh, smiled faintly, looked at the field and said, "Everything in the world has a cause. This Yun Jie was in the Clothes Bureau at the beginning, and his future was already hopeless. Unexpectedly, by chance, she met the queen one day, and the queen cherished her talent and transferred her to her side as a female official. She was not grateful for the queen's kindness, but took advantage of the master's absence in the palace to dance in front of the emperor to invite pets. ”
"Oh, the original ...... That's right. ”
Ye Junyi sat here, always feeling that there were a pair of eyes staring at her all the time, looking around, but seeing that everyone was looking at the field, and someone was looking at her.
In this era, acrobatics are all attributed to dance, and there are very few practitioners, and people can't help but feel fresh when they see it. However, acrobatics is about flexibility and lightness, Yun Jieyu looks like he is already in his thirties, and it is inevitably a little difficult to do, so he has to twist his body hard and add some dance moves to cover up.
Ye Junyi felt that she couldn't bear to look at it, so she withdrew her gaze, and suddenly her eyes swept to Yun Gong Qiu, only to see him looking at Yun Jieyu on the field, his eyes were red, his lips were clenched, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and the hand on his knee clenched his fist, trembling uncontrollably.
Yun Gongqiu turned his head with difficulty, but he looked at Shang Ye Junyi's watery gaze.
Ye Junyi shook his head gently at him, and signaled him to be patient with his eyes. Seeing this, he gradually relaxed his body, and after a while, he calmly picked up the wine glass and drank the wine.
Seeing that Yun Gong Qiu had returned to normal, she wanted to withdraw her gaze, but she met the gaze of the middle-aged man in blue, Ye Junyi saw him looking at herself so aggressively, and felt inexplicable in her heart, and then she continued to look at him a little provocatively: Then the emperor is here, doesn't he support Mrs. Ben? I'm afraid of you! The man looked at her for a long time, and when he saw that she didn't withdraw his gaze, he turned his head to look at the middle of the field in dissatisfaction.
Yun Jie danced to a song, and the dancers continued to perform the show. After Ye Junyi bravely looked at this strange man, he calmed down and thought carefully, how could this gaze be so familiar? He is......
Suddenly, everything in front of her felt boring, she didn't know anything about what was being performed in the field, and her ears were full of extravagant silk and bamboo sounds and people's cheerful noise, which made her irritated.
