Chapter 252: The Feast Begins
"Your Highness?" At this moment, Xiao Shu'er, who was standing beside him, called in a low voice, and as soon as her voice fell, seeing that Jun Liyuan didn't speak or return to her senses, her expression sank slightly, and then she turned her eyes to look in the direction of Jun Ruoxuan, and when her gaze swept to Feng Yao again, she was caught off guard for a moment, and even on that graceful and beautiful face, there was also a half of astonishment.
She was indeed surprised.
Today is the birthday of His Royal Highness, and the banquet is set up in the East Palace. The people who came to the East Palace all came after receiving the ceremony, why did the maid of the Li Wangfu appear here so grandly?
Although he has the intention to cooperate with this powerful prince's servant, it is not a good thing to get too close after all. What's more, she Xiao Shu'er has always only used her, why do you want her to really enter the East Palace and get close to her Royal Highness? After all, although His Royal Highness does not really look down on a humble servant, the rumors about His Royal Highness and this servant in the past are not groundless.
"Brother Huang, today, it seems that the spring breeze is very proud."
It was only a moment, Jun Liyuan's gaze fell directly on Jun Ruoxuan's face, and he spoke out calmly. His voice is gentle, but the gaze that falls on Jun Ruoxuan's face is really not gentle.
If you have to take into account the overall situation, just talk about Jun Ruoxuan's life under his nose over the years, he would have wanted his life a long time ago, but unfortunately, behind this Jun Ruoxuan is the power of the queen and his uncle, even if he Jun Liyuan has a majestic heart, he still can't act recklessly, but has to find an opportunity to disintegrate him little by little.
It's just strange that in the past, I still had the patience to wait, but now, for some reason, I suddenly felt that this Jun Ruoxuan was extremely eye-catching, even to the point of wanting to get rid of it. Could it be that he has been too impetuous in recent days?
Just as he was about to think about it, at this time, Jun Ruoxuan had already slowly hooked his lips and smiled, and said slowly: "The beauty is on the side, and the younger brother is naturally proud of the spring breeze." The royal brother is not unaware that the courtier brother likes beauties. ”
His speech was natural, and his voice was a little natural.
But as soon as these words fell, he turned his eyes to look in all directions, and continued: "Today's crown prince and brother are birthday stars, why do you stand here and do something." All the officials and ministers are still waiting for the imperial brother, and the imperial brother should be sitting on the top at this time. ”
As soon as these words came out, Jun Liyuan finally did not delay any longer, and after dealing with Jun Ruoxuan casually, he walked forward slowly with several concubines behind him and the attendants who followed behind.
The group walked very slowly, very slowly, and that Jun Li Yuan was also full of trim, the whole person was in a brocade robe, and his pace was leisurely, and he was in a gentle and elegant state.
Everyone present stared at him, and when he saw him sitting at the front, he suddenly looked at him, and his slightly complicated and deep gaze fell on Feng Yao and Jun Ruoxuan again.
At this time, the courteous official saw that it was not early, so he took the initiative to start the abbot's banquet.
Feng Zi slightly glanced at him with sharp and deep pupils, and then pretended to lower his eyes naturally, no longer looking.
It was not long before the beginning of the ceremony was completed, and the palace slaves quickly began to serve wine and food, and sheng flutes and singing and dancing also rose one after another.
Because of the preparation of the Ministry of Rites, the dancers who danced with the sheng flute in the middle this time were all of excellent appearance and excellent dancing, and those women were wearing light pink gauze clothes, beating, the gauze and green silk were all moving on and off, and the silver bells on the ankles were crisp with the beat of the sheng flute, but they were really beautiful and beautiful.
Feng Zi raised her eyes and looked at those women indifferently, but at this moment, a soft and lazy laugh suddenly rose in her ears, "Why should Miss Feng'er envy them, Miss Feng'er's figure and appearance are not worse than them." ”
Feng Zi was taken off guard for a moment.
Jun Ruoxuan thought that she had been staring at those dancing girls because she was envious of the figure and appearance of those dancing girls.
She was speechless, and the corners of her eyes twitched almost imperceptibly, and then she came back to her senses slightly, and her calm and indifferent gaze fell towards Jun Ruoxuan, and she saw that his slender fingertips were holding the wine cup, and he looked at her with interest while sipping wine.
"If the slave maid is not mistaken, the prince said today that the team of these sheng flute dancers was personally found by the people of the Ministry of Rites, and they thought that they had been carefully selected layer by layer, so that the appearance and dancing skills of these dancers were undoubtedly superior, slaves and maids, how could they compare with them."
She spoke out calmly.
Jun Ruoxuan chuckled, and her handsome face pretended to be a little helpless, "Why does Miss Feng'er always like to go against this king?" The king finally praised you and said that you were good-looking, how could you not accept the king's heart? ”
As he spoke, without waiting for Feng Zi to react, he raised his eyes to look at the other courtiers and relatives at the table, hooked his lips and smiled, and asked lazily: "You said yes, right?" The figure and appearance of those dancing girls are not as good as the girl next to this king? ”
King Rui spoke, how dare the people present talk nonsense.
Although they are not the henchmen of King Rui, they are not princelings, although they are in the middle of the court, they are just neutral, and both parties do not want to offend.
"That's what Lord Rui said. How can those dancing girls be as good as the girl next to King Rui. ”
It was only a moment, and the courtiers and relatives at the table all replied with a flattering and enthusiastic voice.
Jun Ruoxuan seemed to be extremely satisfied, and his gaze fell on Feng Zi again, "Miss Feng'er, look, so many people say that you are no worse than those dancing girls, Miss Feng'er is happy now?" ”
Happy size. was dragged by Jun Ruoxuan to dry in front of these ministers, she had already stepped on the tip of the knife under her feet, and she had already become a person in the whirlpool of public opinion, how could she be happy!
This may not be the news of public opinion that will be widely spread in Kyoto City tomorrow, that is, the dignified prince of Rui actually fell in love with a servant girl who does not eat oil and salt, once such a rumor spreads and reaches the ears of the queen in the palace, maybe the queen will use the reason of causing trouble to her son, and she will be dealt with by Yunfengzi.
"Lord Rui praised the slave and maid so painstakingly, and the slave and maid received this intention." Feng Zi was silent for a moment, calmly replied, and said, not planning to say much to him about it, just turned his eyes to look at the people around him layer by layer, and then took the initiative to change the topic, "Why is the prince's birthday today, and the emperor and queen are both in the future?" ”
"My father is unwell, and my mother is worried, so I am waiting for my father in the palace." Jun Ruoxuan also answered naturally.
Feng Zi's expression moved slightly, only that the old emperor's body was fragile, and he was already terminally ill, almost dying, yes, the queen stayed by the old emperor's side and never left an inch, if it was natural to be worried, but there was still a little bit that could not be ignored, that is, the prince was the son of the concubine after all, and the queen and the prince were also hostile, so, the prince's birthday, how could the queen be willing to pull down her identity and come over to congratulate the prince on his birthday?
And I still remember that when Jun Ruoxuan had a big birthday a few days ago, the queen came alone, thinking that she was also precious to her own son, so she would be considerate and thoughtful no matter what, and that Jun Liyuan was just a sin who wanted to take away her son's throne in her eyes.
Feng Zi knew this, and he didn't plan to ask more questions about it, so he was silent for a moment and continued: "Didn't the prince say that the prince of Daliang will also come over to celebrate his birthday today?" Why is it that at this time, there is no trace of the prince of Daliang? Moreover, it is the prince of Rui and the national teacher, who are gone. ”
Jun Ruoxuan was not surprised by Feng Zi's words, and his slender fingertips slowly played with the empty wine cup, "Maybe wait a while, those people will appear." ”
I really didn't say that.
Thinking about it, Xiao Jin and the others may not appear in this palace at all, because today's trip, she Yun Fengzi was undoubtedly framed by him.
At this point, I am not interested.
Feng Zi didn't say anything anymore, just reached out and grabbed the chopsticks, and began to eat vegetables.
Jun Ruoxuan suddenly pushed a glass of wine in front of her, and when the chopsticks in her hand paused slightly, he smiled: "This is the new wine offered by Fanbang this year, the taste is mellow and sweet, you can also taste it." ”
Feng Zi lowered her eyes and swept the wine cup in front of her, only to see that the cup was a jasper cup, and the wine in the cup was clear and transparent, without any impurities. And this wine is extremely fragrant, and she can smell the wine at such a large distance between her nose and the wine.
Her expression moved slightly, and after a moment, she indifferently reached out and took a cup, took a few sips of the wine glass, and when she put down the cup, Jun Ruoxuan asked in her ear leisurely: "How does it taste?" ”
Feng Zi said slowly: "What the prince said is not wrong, this wine is indeed mellow and sweet, much better than those wines in the past." ”
She doesn't judge or hide her liking.
Jun Ruoxuan chuckled twice, "Since it's delicious, drink more." Entering the palace today, it is just to have a good time, to have fun, Miss Feng'er today, there is no need to be restrained. ”
As soon as his voice fell, he personally raised the wine jug and filled the Fengzi cup with wine.
Seeing his strange diligence, Feng Zi was wary, her eyes swept towards him indifferently, and she asked calmly: "Although the wine is good wine, the slave maid is not strong enough to drink after all, a few sips are enough, and there is no need to drink again." ”
"This wine is not intoxicating, so if you like it, drink it more. Life should be unbridled, so why be cautious. Moreover, even if you are drunk, there is still this king, and this king will send you back to King Li's mansion unmistakable. ”
His voice was soft and gentle, and his tone was a little hard-to-be-earnest. It's just that the smile on his face is really too strong, even so strong that it is slightly ridiculous and ridiculous, as if it is mixed with calculations, which makes people shudder inexplicably when they look carefully.
This is a word that cannot be trusted. Moreover, once she is really drunk, this person may not know where to send her.
The guard in her heart was still not relaxed, and when Chao Jun Ruoxuan stared at it for a few moments, she responded to a few words casually, and then looked away.
The sheng song and dance in front of it was still going on as usual, and the dancing skills of those dancers were indeed good, and the dance that danced out was not vulgar, it was quite a little fresh and elegant, which made the people present refreshed, and most of them looked at those dancers as if they had lost their minds.
The surrounding atmosphere was warm and noisy, but this atmosphere did not last too long, only for half an hour, at the back of the path, suddenly a group of people stepped over, and the sound of those torn footsteps slightly disturbed the sound of silk and bamboo, and then, a tall and heroic voice suddenly rose up, "The prince of Daliang has arrived!" ”
