Chapter Seventy-Two: Talented and Beautiful
The Hibiscus Garden on the Qujiang River is in full bloom in the night, the Hong Lim Garden is brightly lit, and the guests on the red carpet are full of guests, but there are no words in sight, only the graceful sound of the piano under the moonlight.
The red gauze tent hangs down, a soft woman in a moon-white plain skirt hangs her head lightly, her jade hands are plucked between the strings, and five steps beside her stands a slender white-clothed man, with one hand on his sleeves and a pen in the other, and he is sketching between the papers.
Yi Yu held his cheek with one hand and looked at the pair of handsome men and beautiful women who were cooperating to sign not far away, and as soon as the thought of "talented and beautiful" popped up in his head, he heard similar praises whispered by people on the table.
Although she doesn't understand the sound of the piano, she can also hear the song of Changsun Xian is really beautiful and beautiful, which is also the first beautiful woman she has seen.
It's just that for some reason, looking at this pair of men and women who are very good in all aspects, an awkward emotion rose strangely in her heart, frowning and suppressing this feeling, Yi Yu leaned sideways to Lu Zhi, and whispered in his ear, "Big brother, this eldest grandson is really good to play the piano." β
Lu Zhi responded lightly and replied simply: "Well, Miss Changsun's piano skills are indeed famous. β
As soon as Yi Yu was about to ask again, he saw a eunuch behind him who had not known what time to bow down and approach, and whispered two words in Lu Zhi's ear, Lu Zhi's face changed, and he nodded to the eunuch.
Then he turned his head and whispered to Yi Yu: "Big brother has something to leave the table, you stay here obediently, don't go around." β
Yi Yu knew that this was not the time to ask more, so he nodded and let him follow the little eunuch, taking advantage of the fact that the guests were intoxicated with the demeanor of talented and beautiful women, he quietly retreated all the way, until Lu Zhi, who was dressed in blue, disappeared from her sight, and then Yi Yu turned back and continued to admire the handsome men and beautiful women.
When the eldest grandson finished playing, Du Ruojin just dropped the last stroke, and the two palace ladies stepped forward to carefully pick up the drawing paper on the table and slowly unfolded it in front of everyone.
"Good painting! What a scene! β
"Du Gongzi's painting skills are really wonderful!"
The banquet suddenly sounded a lot of praise, and the relict jade looked sideways, only to see that on the three-foot-long picture scroll, the scenery of the river and the moon jumped on the paper, and the ink and wash were lifelike, which is indeed a masterpiece.
Gao Yang sat on the seat, ignoring Chai Tianwei, who was pouting on the side, and laughed loudly, "My cousin and Sister Xian really have a tacit understanding, I already seem to have a scene in my heart when I listen to the sound of the piano, and this painting of my cousin is even more appropriate, haha, this piano is also played, and the painting is also made, let me see who the next one is - seventeen!" β
Gao Yang smiled and held up the red head sign in his hand, but no one stood up for a long time, and everyone turned their heads to look at the neighbors when they saw that no one answered.
Yi Yu was still admiring the paintings displayed by the palace maid, but she didn't want an extra arm to suddenly appear next to her, so she picked up the green head sticks that had just been left by Lu Zhi from the desk beside her.
"Here!"
Yi Yu looked at a girl who was still sitting on her seat, and was standing beside her at the moment holding up the green head stick, and before her mind turned for a while, she heard Gao Yang's delicate voice sound:
"Come here and get the order!"
Yi Yu was stunned to take the lottery that the girl next to her forced into her hand, and was pulled up and pushed out, staggered a few steps, stood firmly in the open space between the banquets, noticed the inquiring eyes of the guests, and looked up to see Gao Yang's cold eyes not far away, and then suddenly realized.
She hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Gao Yang and said, "Your Highness, my brother has just left the table, so I guess I'll be back later." β
Gao Yang's thumb gently rubbed the edge of the jade cup, and squinted at her and smiled, "Do you want this palace to wait for him, come here, draw a lot for your eldest brother, and do it according to it!" β
Yi Yu lowered his head and frowned slightly, looked sideways at Lu Jun, who was drunk, and then glanced at Gao Yang, who was not good-looking, his heart was bitter, and he secretly said that he was unlucky, and walked forward with a little heavy steps, bowed down and stood in front of the princess's case, took the gold head and signed it out and handed it to the other party.
Gao Yang quickly took the wooden skewer from her hand, and when she saw the book on the sign, her face changed, and she laughed directly, "It's really funny!" It's so much fun! β
After speaking, he handed the gold head tag in his hand over the jade to her, and the jade only felt that a person around him was approaching, and just smelled a faint fragrance, he heard a low laugh from the top of his head:
"It's really interestingβthen I'll bother Miss Lu to add a poem to my painting, okay?"
Yi Yu straightened up, stared slightly at the big hand holding the order in front of him, took a look, and saw that there were four characters written on it in small block letters - relying on painting and writing poems!
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, she struggled for a while and turned to Gao Yang to salute, and said apologetically, "Your Highness, it's really that the little girl is not good at reciting poetry." β
asked her to compose poems, if she did it well, it would be too eye-catching, and if she didn't do it well, Gao Yang would definitely trouble her, so it was better not to do it at all.
"Smack!" Gao Yang slapped the case and said strangely, "No? I heard Lu Jun say, you will have a lot, don't you want to give face to this palace at all! β
Yi Yu lowered her head and gritted her teeth secretly, and scolded the talkative Lu Jun a few times in her heart, before she extinguished the fire, she was not angry, although she had realized the cruelty of this social system, she was still very unhappy to be scolded by a stranger like this.
"Hongu will tell you now! Either you should write a poem to this palace, or you will not want both of your hands! β
Du Ruojin, who was standing aside and watching Gao Yang get angry, frowned slightly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Gao Yang, don't do this." Then he turned his head and said to Yi Yu in a harmonious voice: "Miss Lu only needs to respond to a scene, I paint a scene, it is indeed not difficult to compose poetry, so that my brother is very highly educated, and Miss does not have to be humble." β
Yi Yu was entangled in his heart, how could this still have something to do with Lu Zhi, although they are brother and sister, but he can only learn well and it doesn't mean that he is good at learning, isn't there such a living example as Lu Jun.
Gao Yang suppressed the unhappiness below, and Changsun Xian came over and sat down beside her, frowned and glanced at the Yu Yu, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Gao Yang.
Yi Yu felt that everyone was throwing mockery and sarcasm on her, and her heart was even more bitter.
Sighed secretly, knowing that if he didn't take advantage of Gao Yang's intentions tonight, I was afraid that the end would be miserable, Lu Jun was drunk like that, and Lu Zhi didn't know where he went, and now he could only rely on himself.
Thinking so, Yi Yu raised her head lightly, nodded at Du Ruojin, and then said to Gao Yang respectfully, "That little girl is ugly." β
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the mahogany high table, the two palace ladies had already re-tiled Du Ruojin's paintings on the table, Yi Yu gently lifted his sleeves, revealing a small half of the white lotus root, and was about to put down the pen, but he heard Gao Yang's cold voice again:
"Listen to Lu Jun say that you should only be in the sky, this palace has high hopes for you, if you wait and let this palace down-hum!"
Yi Yu turned to look at Gao Yang's seat, and just glared at Her Royal Highness the princess, as well as Du Ruojin, who was originally sitting next to Chai Tianwei, and I don't know when she changed to Changsun Xian's side, the two were talking about something with their heads down, and they smiled a little from time to time.
Scanning the full circle of guests again, many of them had sarcastic smiles on their faces, looking like they were watching a good show.
She looked up at the bright moon in the sky, thinking of the Lu family who was still waiting at home, and the bitterness and helplessness in her heart suddenly dissipated.
She is not good at composing poems, and she is not in the mood to chant poems right now, but she has not forgotten what she did in her last life.
