Chapter 64 The chaos begins, and the winner is hard to say
When facing Empress Kong, Yi Jing seemed to restrain her coquettish mischievous in front of the Queen Mother, and only sat quietly beside Huang, maintaining an impeccable dignified smile at the corner of her lips.
Thinking about it carefully, no matter in her past or present life, the only person who can cause such invisible pressure on her is Queen Kong.
Even in the face of today, Yijing has never been so "well-behaved".
At this time, she secretly raised her eyelids and looked at Queen Kong, who was wearing a real red large-sleeved phoenix robe, only to feel that the luxurious and gorgeous colors could not hide the queen's innate cold aura, even though she was now full of kindness, enthusiastically holding Yichen's hand, and saying words of praise, but the deliberateness and rustiness under the eagerness were still quite obvious.
Yijing was very sympathetic to the eldest sister's crampedness at this time.
The queen has always been dignified, and has never been so "approachable", this time she is affectionate and earnest, and she is really a little drunkard.
Yi Jing silently speculated: Guifei Chen's background is not lower than that of the queen, and she is very favored, and has two imperial heirs, the fourth prince and the tenth prince, which is undoubtedly a big trouble for the queen, and that day "eavesdropping" the conversation between Yu Feng and her grandmother, she thought that the eldest sister could not escape the fate of marrying into the royal family, and the queen, of course, would not let the four princes get such a tough foreign family as the Weiguo Mansion.
The third prince and the prince have a deep brotherhood, and they were raised by the queen, plus he is so unprofessional, he poses the least threat to the prince.
The queen must be interested in forming a good relationship between the eldest sister and the third prince.
Seeing the queen's attitude towards the eldest sister today...... Yijing's heart is even heavier, and he is a little uncertain about his own calculations for a while - even if the "amorous nature" of the third prince is exposed, it is related to the rise and fall of the family, and even the political situation of the court, it is difficult to guarantee that the grandmother and father will not compromise.
But the current plan is only to take one step at a time.
"Ah Chen is so steady and polite, and he is really taught by the Duchess of the country." The queen also seemed to be a little impatient, and after some praise, Fang gently patted the back of Yichen's hand, motioned for her to sit down, and praised Huang condescendingly.
"The mother is too famous." Huang hurriedly stood up and saluted.
At this time, the crown princess was a little sycophant in Ci'an Palace, and behaved very jumpy, and smiled: "The queen mother is really generous today, not to mention the golden phoenix hairpin, a pair of purple jade bracelets are your favorite things that you are used to with, and they were all rewarded to Ah Chen, which made the concubines red." ”
The queen only smiled faintly: "Usually you take advantage of it less?" I took Amo into the palace every time to ask for peace, when did I miss the reward? ”
"That is also the queen's grace to Amo, and the concubines only have the share of watching with their eyes." The crown princess pretended to be frustrated.
The queen shook her head, but said to the Huang family: "Let the Duchess of Guo laugh." Deliberately glared at the crown princess: "I said that Ah Mo is also seventeen years old this year, how can she still be in a hurry, it turns out that you two sisters are all of this temperament, look at Ah Chen, she is called dignified and polite, she is two years younger than Ah Mo." ”
The crown princess pretended to sigh: "Usually, the queen mother often praises the concubines for being clever, and Amo is hearty. ”
These words caused the queen to laugh seriously.
Huang hurriedly said politely: "Amo's temperament is the best, but Chen'er is not as likable as her." ”
The crown princess hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't be so modest, where can Ah Mo compare with Ah Chen, today not only the queen mother, but even the queen mother is full of praise, but my sister, although not as dignified as Ah Chen, has a somewhat similar temperament to Ah Jing, but she has won the heart of her aunt and grandmother." ”
When the queen mentioned Zhen Mo, she was already on guard and engrossed, and when she heard the words of the crown princess, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
The queen seemed to notice the beautiful scene at this time, looked at it with a faint look, and seemed to ask casually: "Oh? Ah Mo also often says that she is very compatible with Ah Jing, I was a little strange, there is a difference of five years between them, how did they become handkerchiefs? Ah Jing, is this serious? ”
In front of the crown princess, it can't be denied no matter what, Yijing sighed secretly, and had to answer insincerely: "Sister Amo is versatile, not only piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also very good at riding and shooting, and her temperament is hearty and enthusiastic, and the little girl is very happy with Sister Amo." ”
Who would have thought that the queen would simply say next: "Since you like Amo so much, why don't you let me be the matchmaker and let her be your sister-in-law?" ”
This was really unexpected by the beautiful scenery, and I was stunned for a while.
The queen naturally didn't want to seriously ask for Yijing's opinion, and then said to the Huang family: "The prince of Weiguo is also fifteen, it's the right time to discuss marriage, can Mrs. be satisfied with this marriage?" ”
The queen spoke, and there was the crown princess on the side full of expectations, did the Huang family dare to say that she was not satisfied?
Yi Jing secretly screamed, it seems that he made arrangements at his grandmother's birthday banquet, although he avoided the eldest brother and Zhen Mo from "getting acquainted", but it also forced the Zhen family to change their strategy, and even persuaded the queen to put pressure on her mother, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while - with her identity and age, she was not qualified to intervene at this time.
Huang was also taken aback, she originally measured Mrs. Kong's attitude, only thought that the queen had taken a fancy to Yichen and wanted Yichen to be the third princess, this family matter had her own eldest princess and the queen mother's determination, she couldn't interfere in the first place, and she didn't want the queen to propose this unexpected marriage in front of her two daughters in a few words.
Although she is the stepmother of the prince of Weiguo, she has the eldest princess and the husband of Weiguogong, and she can't be the master.
Besides, once the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, the Zhen family will definitely gain power, and there is really such an eldest daughter-in-law......
The Huang family had to get up again: "Thanks to the mother's love, the concubine is flattered, but the marriage of the son of the world is ...... The concubines really didn't dare to be self-dictatorated, and they had to discuss with the grandfather and the wife. ”
The queen's original intention was only to tear the window paper slightly, and she didn't expect the Huang family to accept it in one bite, at least to teach the Huang family to understand, and tell the eldest princess that she had such a "good intention" to fight for Zhen Mo to get a head start. Therefore, he smiled faintly: "That's natural, if you want to come to the Zhen family, it is a prestigious family, which is equivalent to the family of the Duke of Weiguo, and Ah Mo has the heart of her aunt, and the Duke of Wei Guo should not object." ”
Yijing breathed a sigh of relief - won't object? After the fifteenth day of this month, Zhen Mo himself has no shame to ask for this marriage again.
After sitting on pins and needles for a while, another palace maid entered the house to report, saying that the queen mother had left the eldest princess and had dinner in Ci'an Palace at noon.
The queen said: "In this way, the Duchess of Guo, Ah Chen, and Ah Jing will stay in Jingren Palace for dinner." ”
Yi Jing complained again in her heart, she really couldn't get close to the queen, plus her next two major plans, it was undoubtedly going to ruin the plan of the harem master, under multiple pressures, she couldn't wait to leave Jingren Palace immediately, how could she have the heart to eat here?
Fortunately, the queen mother and the eldest princess have not forgotten the "little pitiful" of Yijing, and sent Aunt Ru from Ci'an Palace to rescue her, and the queen originally just wanted to get together Huang and Yichen, and she didn't care about Yijing, so she naturally wouldn't force her to stay.
"The Queen Mother knows that Wu Niang is the most unrestrained, and she is worried that the Queen Mother has a serious temperament, and you are not comfortable staying there, so she asked the slave maid to invite Wu Niang to Ci'an Palace, only this time, there is still some time before the meal, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess are discussing again, and Wu Niang will go to the side hall with the slave and maid to sit in the side hall for a while." For example, my aunt was the personal palace maid next to the queen mother, and Yijing was often ordered to enter the palace to "live", and she was very familiar with her. ”
For example, the aunt smiled all over her face, and rubbed the two small buds with beads on her head: "Since the March Fanglin banquet, the slave maid has never seen Wu Niang, and I always listen to the Queen Mother's chatter, and I am also very worried about it, I heard that Wu Niang was in the limelight at the princess's birthday banquet yesterday?" ”
"It's Ah Yue and An Hui who are in the limelight, and I'm just indiscriminate."
"Huh? It's only been a few months, and Wu Niang has become a big girl, so she knows how to be humble? ”
"Auntie, is this praising me or hurting me? When I was at home, I still remembered my aunt, and I knew that my aunt was happy with the piano music composed by Mr. Wei, and I practiced it carefully, remembering to enter the palace to listen to my aunt. ”
The two talked all the way, and then returned to Ci'an Palace, such as the aunt really asked a few palace maids to set up a piano case and an incense burner, and waited in the vestibule pavilion to listen to the beautiful scenery and caress the qin.
The song "Flower Question" is a new song that Wei Yuan made before leaving, which is cool and tactful, and it seems that there are endless grievances.
For example, the aunt closed her eyes slightly in the sound of the piano, and her thoughts seemed to fly out of this heavy palace, drifting away with the wind, and some memories that had been indifferent clearly appeared in the darkness of the closed eyes.
That person was thousands of miles away at this time.
And the distance between them seems to have always been extremely far away.
But listening to the music he composed, there is still such an illusion, once upon a time, they also had the same mind.
When Aunt Ruru was immersed in the sound of the piano, a teenager also stopped under the pavilion.
The third prince just stepped into the Ci'an Palace, and was attracted by the sound of the qin, and approached step by step, and at this time he was looking up at the stunning face that attracted thousands of women's dreams, and looked at the pavilion on the fake stone, the girl was half bathed in the golden sun, and the jade wrist was lightly suspended.
It's her!
The third prince slowly curled up the corners of his lips like a diamond flower, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were bright.
Yesterday's song "Qiongtai Banquet", although it was an ensemble, her piano sound was clearly separated, and she was caught off guard, and it hovered in his ears and was remembered.
even made him forget his original plan - before the marriage is decided, remember to be cautious in words and deeds, and never be frivolous, so as not to dislike his aunt and grandmother and lose the marriage that must be fought for - it is because of this girl's song that he can't hold it back, and he ends up in person, and with a song accordingly, he clearly feels the endless amazing eyes of those women, and he is still proud in his heart, but when he raised his eyes, he found that this girl turned a deaf ear, and only cared about talking to the female companions around him, and didn't even look at him!
Even though Su Wuniang is still young, she still doesn't appreciate "beauty", but I have heard that she likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting......
The three princes thought to themselves that the song "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud" was like flowing water, and it would definitely attract the attention of the "bosom friend", but he still ignored the "bosom friend"!
Is that girl still a woman?
and the aunt of the Su family, who was also sitting upright, didn't even look at him.
The three princes are very frustrated, the Su sisters, are they all generally ignorant of customs?
Only the concubine Sanniang has affection for him, so that he can't wait to gouge out her eyes.
But fortunately, the aunt and grandmother did not seem to be dissatisfied with his demeanor, and eye-catching.
But in his heart, he couldn't help but feel lost, the third prince was very annoyed, after returning to the house yesterday, he still felt that the aftersound in his ears was lingering, so that he couldn't sleep one night.
He secretly warned himself that this was not the time to be ridiculous.
In that chess game that has been planned for many years, Wei Guogong is an indispensable key!
Su's fifth mother is destined to be his wife and sister.
But I was stunned for a while...... Could it be that he unconsciously moved other thoughts about that little girl?
It's really ridiculous, it seems that he has gone mad, those women, whether they are sinking fish and geese, or being ashamed of flowers in the closed moon, are generally vulgar fans, what he needs is nothing more than the family power behind them, all these years have been performing the image of the prodigal son who is chanting poetry and making the moon, and not doing his job, is nothing more than to let the queen dispel her worries, let the prince let down his guard, when did he actually fake the show.
He was born among thousands of flowers, and the leaves did not touch his body, but he tossed and turned for a young and ignorant girl.
Ridiculous, ridiculous.
The three princes laughed at themselves, but they paced up the pavilion with a smile.
It's not bad to have a good relationship with your future wife and sister first, maybe you can get her a hand......
Third Prince, you don't realize it, you have already begun to deceive yourself.
But he said that the scenery was beautiful, and he raised his eyes with a smile, but he saw that his aunt was sitting on the beauty with her eyes closed, her soft eyebrows were slightly constricted, and the corners of her lips seemed to be sad, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
I suddenly heard three applause, and when I looked back, I saw the young man in the purple robe and the golden crown standing on the steps, looking at her and smiling very strangely.
How come the blue sky and white sun, under the golden sun, I just encountered such a demon! Yijing gritted his teeth and thought, he couldn't help but worry, was the third prince edicted into the palace by the queen? The eldest sister is still in Jingren Palace, if that's the case, wouldn't she have to meet this demon? But he hurriedly stood up from the piano case and bent his knees: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”
Aunt Ru also woke up from a dream, and followed Yifu: "Slave and maid to His Royal Highness." ”
"Fifth sister, I haven't heard this song anywhere else, but it's Mr. Wei's new work?" The third prince took a few steps forward, sat down in front of the piano with a big thorn, plucked the strings lightly, and repeated a short piece of beautiful scenery.
Yi Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, the name of the three princes of Xindao was not false, but after listening to it once, he remembered the tune.
"It's the work of the gentleman." Yijing replied with a smile, his mind turned, and he asked in a playful voice: "Your Highness is here to say hello to the Queen Mother?" ”
The third prince was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, this little girl finally paid attention to him? The eyes are turning, like spring waves.
He had expected that the eldest princess would enter the palace today to thank him, and the queen had also spoken with him - the queen mother would discuss the marriage with the eldest princess today, so he took the opportunity to ask for peace and show up in front of the eldest princess, so as to observe the attitude of the eldest princess and measure the odds, but he didn't want to enter the Ci'an Palace and be attracted by the sound of this girl's piano.
"Exactly, I wonder if my grandmother is free right now?" But this was said to Aunt Ru.
"Niangniang is talking to the eldest princess, but it's almost noon, and His Royal Highness should be able to go." As my aunt replied.
From this point of view, the three princes did not follow the queen's edict, and the beautiful scenery was slightly relieved.
The third prince was not in a hurry to leave, and plucked the strings again: "The song that the fifth sister stroked is very beautiful, I wonder if you can transcribe a copy of the score to me?" ”
Yijing was absent-minded: "Dare not obey your fate." ”
She was very worried, for fear that after the third prince greeted her, she would go to Jingren Palace, so that she would inevitably meet with the eldest sister.
The queen's attitude has been very clear, and I think the queen mother also has this meaning, maybe she has discussed it with her grandmother...... But these days, there has been no progress on Sanshun's side, and this demon has never been to Qianrao Pavilion, although Shi Si has made friends with Sanshun, he is very cautious, until this time, he is still hiding that he is the head of the Three Princes' Mansion, and it is not easy to get more hidden feelings from his mouth, this progress is not smooth, but the situation is pressing, and it is imminent.
His Royal Highness the Third Prince, why didn't you go to Qianrao Pavilion to find the girl in red?
The beautiful scenery is very resentful.
——
And on this day, the three princes came out of Ci'an Palace, did not go to Jingren Palace, but left the palace directly, along the way, holding the piano score transcribed by Yijing in his hand, and the smile never fell at the corner of his lips.
First, because the eldest princess was extremely kind to him, and the queen mother also praised him in person, the meaning of which was very obvious, the two elders seemed to have discussed, even if this marriage had not been agreed, at least the eldest princess had no intention of objecting; Second, staying in Ci'an Palace for dinner today, the little girl looked at herself frequently, and she was a little absent-minded, so she said, with her talent and demeanor, which little lady wouldn't be tempted?
Su Wu Niang, in the end, is just a vulgar fan.
As soon as he thought of this, the third prince was slightly disappointed.
But in the end, the score was folded neatly and put into the placket.
In addition to the prince of the East Palace, once the prince is over ten years old, he can not live in the palace, a few years ago, the three princes set up a mansion outside the palace and lived, the three princes' mansions, is separated from the imperial city by a river Yong'an Street, not far from Zhengzhengfang.
The six riders stopped in front of the door, and a servant in Tsing Yi stepped forward: "Your Highness, the right Tongzheng Chen Mansion Shangliulang has arrived for half an hour and is waiting in the flower hall." ”
The third prince lifted his purple robe, jumped off the carriage, walked into the door, and went straight to the flower hall.
This Chen Liulang, but the nephew of the noble lady Chen, is now the prisoner of the Guozijian, two days ago, this Chen Liu was drunk in the restaurant, and happened to meet the third prince, and the two had a long talk.
It turned out that this Chen Liulang, in the romantic season of spring flowers, walked leisurely on the bank of the streamer river, saw a delicate beauty weeping under the willow, pear blossoms with rain, so pitiful, Chen Liu's heart was the most soft-hearted, and he immediately said that he was relieved, only to know that the beauty was the Oiran of Qianrao Pavilion, and had a pitiful life experience, and had to fall into the dust, unwilling to lose his innocence, but helpless.
The beauty was looking for death and life, which disturbed Chen Liu's heartache, so he had the idea of hiding the beauty in the golden house and saving the beauty of the hero.
Helplessly, the Chen family is a prestigious family, and they are very strict with their children, not to mention the golden house, go to a brothel, and have a private meeting with a beauty, Chen Liu is also worried and sneaky.
Qianrao Pavilion's mother regards the beauty as a cash cow, claiming that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, let the nobles in the capital bid, and see that the beauty is about to break.
Beauty had to congregate.
Chen Liu was worried, not to mention redeeming himself for the beauty, even the silver that bought the first night of the beauty, he didn't have it at hand.
The beauty claimed that if the day really came, she would not be able to help herself, and she would die to keep her innocent body.
How can Chen Liu be willing to give it? But he was shy in his pocket, and he didn't dare to ask the family for silver, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching and imminent, he only knew how to use wine to drown his sorrows.
Thanks to the three princes who met the "righteousness".
Today in Guozijian, the three princes invited him to a gathering and said that there were good things to discuss.
Chen Liu couldn't wait to come to the Prince's Mansion.
When he listened to the sincere friendship of the three princes, he almost cried bitterly, prostrated on the ground, and his words of gratitude were like a river.
This amorous Langjun didn't expect that his "affair" was the situation painstakingly laid by the three princes.
And on this evening, the three princes dressed in light clothes and went to Qianrao Pavilion.
A few little beggars guarding Yong'an Street followed all the way, and when they saw the three princes with green curtains on their heads, they got off at the back door of Qianrao Pavilion, entered the house, and climbed the stairs, so they ran to the back street of Zhengzhengfang.
It was still in this evening that a steward in the Three Princes' Mansion patronized Chunlai Lou and bought a vegetarian brocade.
After an hour, Gray Du walked back to Guan Sui Yuan, grinning at the clear sky that had been reduced to a gatehouse, indicating his excitement.
A good show is about to be staged.
The red-clothed girl in Qianrao Pavilion was full of affection: "Your Highness, are you really willing to give the slave family to Chen Liu?" ”
The third prince smiled charmingly: "Could it be that you are willing to follow the fat pig of the Zhu Shoubei family?" ”
The girl in red Qiu Bo was angry, leaned in the arms of the third prince, and put her jade arm on her shoulder: "Your Highness, do you really not know the mind of the slave family?" ”
The door of the box suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man strode in, seeing this, he hurriedly turned around: "Your Highness, but the little one is not at the right time?" ”
The three princes squinted, and the red clothes stood up and avoided the inner room.
"You've come at the right time." The third prince got up, dusted off his white brocade clothes, and looked slightly solemn: "Please sit down, I don't know if the second master asked me to meet today, but what happened because of the prince?" ”
At this time, a touch of sunset outside the window of Xuan was dyed all over the sky.
