Chapter 46: The Palace Banquet (6)
Murong Rin spoke, "Whose turn will be next?" ”
Nanmen Yaoxue glanced at Murong Haoxuan, and the cute little blushing was about to say that she was coming, but Nalan Ruoyan took the first step to say: "Your Majesty, please let the little girl present a dance for everyone." ”
Seeing that Nalan Ruoyan hadn't moved for a long time, Murong Rin asked, "Why hasn't it started for so long?" ”
Nalan Ruoyan bent down and said, "Your Majesty, this dance cannot be completed by the little girl alone, and it can only be completed with the help of the eighth prince." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Murong Rin was puzzled.
Nalan Ruoyan replied: "I still remember that at the palace banquet more than a year ago, I liked it since I heard the 'Mountains and Flowing Waters' played by the Eighth Prince, so the little girl went back to the house to study and choreograph a new dance with the musician. But not everyone can play the song "Mountains and Flowing Water", and it can't be like the Eighth Prince, who can't play that kind of artistic conception. So the little girl dared to ask the emperor to agree to the little girl's request. ”
Murong Haoxuan listened to it and frowned, this piece was a piece that he had played with Yu Wei the previous year, and they had worked together seamlessly. Now what is Nalan Ruoyan's intention in suddenly mentioning this matter? Murong Haoxuan was so focused on thinking about this issue that he didn't even hear Murong Rin call him twice. Later, when he came back to his senses at noon, he found that Murong Rin was calling himself.
"Eighth Prince, did you hear Nalan Ruoyan's request? Do you agree to play for Nalan's little girl? Murong Rin asked inquisitively.
Seeing that Nalan Ruoyan had no other thoughts, Murong Haoxuan withdrew his heart and replied, "Okay, my brother, let my subordinates bring the qin." After a while, Bai Chi brought Murong Haoxuan's qin over.
Murong Haoxuan sat beside the piano and gently plucked the piano, and the beautiful melody slowly flowed out from his fingers. Although Nalan Ruoyan's dancing posture is not as expressive as Yu Wei, her graceful and graceful body also fascinated a group of talents present.
Empress Shangguan Yueyun looked at the fascinated crowd and said with a smile: "I didn't expect this Dr. Nalan to train her daughter so cutely, presumably she has gained the hearts of many men tonight." ”
Murong Rin said: "Yes, the so-called fair lady, a gentleman is good." This is also thanks to the queen's proposal, looking at them reminds me of the scene when I was still a prince, the scene of meeting the queen for the first time. It's so beautiful that I won't forget it. ”
Shangguan Yueyun didn't expect Murong Rin to say such a sensual thing in front of everyone, and Shangguan Yueyun also shyly stopped Murong Rin and said, "Your Majesty~ The protagonist tonight is not a concubine." ”
Murong Rin smiled and said, "Okay! The Eighth Prince and Nalan Ruoyan really made us feel like we were in a fairyland, and they both had rewards, and they were rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. ”
"Emperor Xie!" Nalan Ruoyan and Murong Haoxuan thanked the emperor for his favor and returned to their respective positions.
Seeing that it was getting late, Murong Rin got up and said, "I'm a little tired, go back to the palace first, and the secretaries are free." After speaking, he left with Shangguan Yueyun, and the other concubines also felt bored when they saw that Murong Rin was not there, and they all withdrew one after another.
Sure enough, as soon as the emperor left, the palace banquet became much easier, the ministers all walked out of their places to toast and connect with feelings, young talents gathered together to talk about the world, and women gathered around to share rouge gouache and compare jewelry with each other.
"Diya, are you feeling better?" Yuwei asked with concern.
Sadiya touched her face and said, "My face is no longer hot, and most of this wine has dissipated." I'm fine, didn't I dance just now, this dance made me sweat and more sober. ”
Yu Wei grabbed Sadia's hand and said, "It's okay, thanks to you just now, you are really my lucky star." ”
Sadiya took Yuwei's hand and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I've never seen you dance, I think you don't like to dance, I just came back to see you and was embarrassed, so I said I'll dance for you." Actually, I've always wanted to ask you why you don't dance. ”
Yu Wei thought for a while and said, "One is that I don't like to dance, and the other is that I feel a little unwell today. It's not good to arouse everyone's good interest, and you're embarrassed that you're here. Sadia nodded and didn't ask any further.
Because she drank too much tea at the banquet, Yuwei retreated to the hut. Murong Mufeng noticed Yu Wei leaving, called a personal guard and said, "The princess is not familiar with the palace, you go and watch the princess." ”
"Princess, the slave maid asked just now, it's here." Linlang followed Yuwei and said. This palace has many turns and eighteen turns, even if Yuwei is very good at recognizing the way, but the vision is not very good at night, and it is easy to get lost. I finally found the thatched house, but when the results came out, I found that I didn't know when I lost the 'Heart of the Ocean' given by Murong Mufeng, which was something very important to Yuwei.
Yu Wei and Linlang hurriedly walked back, and finally saw the abandoned 'Heart of the Ocean' on the ground of the promenade. was about to bend down to pick it up, but at some point Zhang Yunli came out of the darkness and also bent down to help Yuwei pick up the necklace. Under the dim light, Yu Wei felt a hand grab her right hand and turn it over, Zhang Yunli looked at it seriously and touched Yu Wei's palm, her expression was full of confidence at the beginning to a look of disappointment. Zhang Yunli thought: Why don't there be cinnabar moles in the palms? Didn't the old lady say that she had a cinnabar mole in the palm of her hand? Why is there no trace at all? Could it be that she is really the princess of Yaha?
Linlang, who was on the side, said anxiously: "Who are you?!" How dare you offend our princess! ”
Yu Wei had already seen through Zhang Yunli's thoughts, pretended not to know and asked, "May I ask who this girl is?" ”
Zhang Yunli realized at this time that the woman in front of her was not her hated Zhang Yuwei, but the real fourth princess, she offended the princess, Zhang Yunli let go of the hand that grabbed Yuwei and said: "The little girl is the daughter of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, named Yunli." The little girl had just passed through the corridor and saw something shining on the ground, which must have been left by the princess. So the little girl wanted to help the princess pick it up, but she didn't expect the light to be too dark to see the princess's hand clearly, and accidentally offended the princess, the little girl deserved to die, please forgive the princess! ”
Yu Wei sneered in her heart: It's too dark to see clearly, but this can make you die, don't keep grabbing me. Yu Wei tightly held the cinnabar mole in her left hand and said, "The so-called ignorant is not guilty, so why are you guilty?" ”
"Princess Xie is tolerant and doesn't care about the little girl." Zhang Yunli said.
"Linlang, let's go, the prince won't be able to find me in a while, so I should be in a hurry." Yu Wei took Linlang to the place of the palace banquet, and after a while, Yu Wei returned to the banquet, and Murong Mufeng came over and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Why did you suddenly ask like this, Yu Wei glanced at Murong Mufeng with strange eyes and replied, "It's okay." ”
Murong Mufeng confessed: "I saw you and Linlang leave just now, and I asked Bai Chi to follow you." No wonder Murong Mufeng knew everything, and Yuwei was also warmed by his warm heart.
"Why don't we go home, I'm a little tired." Yu Wei said.
"Okay, let's go, the carriage is ready." Murong Mufeng replied, he didn't like this kind of noisy palace banquet in the first place, and he wanted to leave a long time ago, but Yuwei didn't say anything, and he also accompanied him to the end.
"Di Li, you and the prince should go back first. I want to stay and have something to do. Sadiya looked at Murong Haoxuan, who was a little drunk, and said to Yuwei.
Yu Wei saw that Sadia's eyes had never left Murong Haoxuan, so she knew the purpose of her stay. Yu Wei nodded and said, "Okay, you pay attention to your own safety, and I will let the carriage of the palace pick you up later." ”
Yu Wei and Murong Mufeng got into the carriage, and along the way, Murong Mufeng saw that Yu Wei was so quiet, and he couldn't bear to break the silence. And Yuwei was still worried about why Zhang Yunli knew that she had a cinnabar mole in her hand, but she didn't know that her cinnabar mole was in her left hand, not in her right hand. However, this cinnabar mole in the palm of the hand for a day will bring trouble to yourself, and tomorrow you must discuss the solution with Baili Lone.
When he was about to arrive at King Rong's Mansion, Murong Mufeng couldn't help but say: "Zhang Yunli deliberately followed you out when she saw you leave the table, and there was no guard next to her, it seems that she still suspects your identity." She wanted to verify that you had a cinnabar mole in the palm of your hand, but what she didn't expect was that your cinnabar mole was not on your right hand, but on your left hand. ”
"You know everything?" Yuwei wasn't surprised.
Murong Mufeng leaned against the window of the carriage and said slowly, "Yes, I already knew. What are you going to do next? Continue to find someone behind you to help you? ”
Yu Wei looked at Murong Mufeng in surprise and thought: Could it be that he already knows Baili Lone? But after thinking about it again, if you know, how can you only talk about the people behind you, and not about Baili Lin or the Xuanling Pavilion Pavilion? I don't think I know yet.
"Are you surprised that the king knows that there is someone behind you? It's very simple, if no one helps you, you can't easily pretend to be dead and escape from the country of Hibiscus, the person who helps you must be a very powerful person, otherwise there is no way for you to become Sadili unconsciously, if you alone is difficult to do. I know you won't be comfortable with saying who that person is behind you, but are you sure he's someone you can count on? Won't they use you to hurt you? ”
"I'm sure, thank you for your concern." Yu Wei had an expression of rejection thousands of miles away.
Murong Mufeng sighed and said, "Okay, you don't want to say that I am absolutely not reluctant, but I hope you can let me protect your safety." ”
"Okay." Yu Wei replied.
After Sadiya saw Yuwei leave, she walked straight to Murong Haoxuan, only to see Murong Haoxuan sitting on the table, drinking one cup after another. Sadiya walked to Murong Haoxuan and sat down, chopped the wine jug in his hand, and said, "Lord, borrow wine to dispel your sorrows, let me have a drink with you." ”
Murong Haoxuan raised his confused eyes and looked at Sadiya and said, "Okay, Lingxi, bring a pot of wine to Princess Diya." He drank again.
Sadiya also poured herself a glass of wine to strengthen her courage, and after a glass of wine, Sadiya said: "Murong Haoxuan, I like you!" ”
