Chapter IV
The ladies turned their heads to look at each other, and couldn't help but gasp in unison.
The person who came was fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a crimson prince's regular clothes, his body was like a green bamboo, his face was like a crown of jade, a pair of narrow phoenix eyes were shining, and his black eyes seemed to be smiling.
Those who have seen him know that this is His Royal Highness King Yu, the fourth prince; I haven't seen him, seeing him wearing prince's clothes, also known as the third brother of King Kang, I also guessed his identity; Some were stunned, but they came back to their senses under the reminder of their companions, and they also figured out who he was, after all, except for the jade concubine, who was known as the first beauty of Daqi, who else could give birth to such a handsome character?
Ye Qian was also stunned for a moment, this person is so good-looking, even better than her brother!
Xiao Yanfeng, the king of Yu, didn't look at the noble girl in the garden, went straight to King Kang and sat down, threw the horsewhip inlaid with precious stones in his hand on the table, and casually arched his hand, his attitude was very perfunctory, "Congratulations to the third brother." ”
He has always been arrogant and domineering, and his three elder brothers are all conscientious, but he is the only one who is idle all day long, and he is a standard prince, so King Kang doesn't care about his attitude, "Why is the fourth brother here?" ”
King Yu's eyes looked at the girl in the garden, and sighed: "I heard that there are beauties here, so I wanted to come and have a look, but I didn't expect it to be for the third brother." ”
"Fourth brother be cautious! These women have come to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet of the Queen Mother, how can they be said to have prepared them for me? King Kang hurriedly retorted.
"What's the matter, the fourth child is also interested in beauty?" Emperor Wen looked at it with a smile, he was the most noble man in the Great Qi Dynasty, and his son was naturally also high, so he said that the girls in the garden were all prepared for their own father and son, and it was nothing, but when did the fourth child become interested in women?
"Hmm......" King Yu lazily held his chin, and his eyes casually circled around the garden, "The eldest brother, second brother, and third brother have all married wives, and the sons and daughters also want a princess." ”
"Oh, who does the fourth child have a crush on?" Emperor Wen straightened up, and the queen, the crown prince, and King Kang also looked at it together, I had never heard of which woman the fourth child liked, why did he suddenly want the princess?
"No one has taken a fancy to the sons." King Yu pouted, "However, Erchen believes that the marriage is predetermined, and when the princess of Erchen Tianding is chosen, the father will give his son a marriage." ”
"Heavenly?" The wine glass in Emperor Wen's hand was put down, "How is it determined?" ”
"Well...... "King Yu's beautiful long eyebrows furrowed, and his slender fingertips tapped a few times on the table, "There is!" Erchen blindfolded, shot an arrow, and whoever hit it was Erchen's princess! ”
Emperor Wen said with a smile: "This is a method, and the princess selected in this way can be regarded as heavenly." ”
"The fourth child has always been smart, and he has a lot of ideas." The queen smiled and pinched the veil and covered the corners of her mouth.
The prince and King Kang glanced at each other, and tacitly staggered their gazes, the prince chooses the concubine, especially the concubine, which is not a thousand choices, cautious and cautious, only the fourth child is so rash and casual, he has always been arrogant and domineering, and the jade concubine does not restrain him, the best thing is that the father also connived at him, and outsiders all spread that the jade concubine is beautiful and fragrant, and the emperor not only loves the jade concubine, but also dotes on the jade concubine Yu Wang is also doting on him, and he is reluctant to say a heavy word. Not only that, the princes were all crowned kings after they became adults, but he was only fourteen years old, so he was crowned King Yu, opened the palace and moved out of the palace to live in another place.
Seeing that his father didn't even object to such a ridiculous method of choosing a concubine, King Yu's fingers quietly tightened, and immediately let go, his white and slender fingers were raised, and he pointed to a chamberlain at random, "Go, go to the carriage at the palace gate to get the king's little *!" ”
The prince lowered his head, the wine glass in his hand hiding the sneering smile on his lips. This dynasty is both civil and military, and the princes must be skilled in bows and horses, not to mention a hundred steps through Yang, at least they must be able to hold a long bow.
Who dares to slack off on the order of King Yu, and the jeweled horsewhip is about to be whipped on his body, and the little chamberlain who was pointed out went quickly, and came back after a while, he was panting and sweating profusely, and he was running in a place where no one was.
King Yu looked at him with satisfaction, took the little * he was holding in both hands and a white feather arrow with his head removed, and walked to the large open space in the middle of the garden.
Such an absurd choice of concubines, the queen was naturally happy to see it, and sent someone to call all the nobles over and form a circle in the big clearing.
The nobles were not selected to be the side concubines of King Kang, some of them were just sullen, at this time I heard that the handsome King Yu wanted to choose a concubine, or a concubine, and suddenly became excited, standing together one after another, timidly bowing his head, but his body was as far forward as possible, and the bold side squeezed the people around him, while secretly looking at the King Yu standing in the middle.
King Yu clinged to Xiao*, raised his white chin, and shouted arrogantly: "Stand up, don't move, no one can hide." ”
He looked around and saw that Ye Qian was completely blocked out, she was small, and she didn't take the initiative to squeeze forward, only the corner of her begonia red shirt could be seen. King Yu's face sank, pointed to another little girl who was blocked, and said angrily: "Why is that one hidden?" Or did you deliberately block her? ”
was startled by the nobles he pointed out, and hurriedly pulled Ye Rong in the back to the front. Ye Rong's eyes lit up with joy, His Royal Highness King Yu deliberately took care of himself and did not allow himself to be blocked by others, he must have wanted to choose himself as the concubine! Oh my God, I'm about to become Princess Yu!
Ye Rong proudly went to see Ye Qian, and saw that she was originally blocked behind, because King Yu was angry with herself just now, and the noble girl next to Ye Qian hurriedly pulled her to the front, anyway, she was small and couldn't stop others. Ye Rong was a little displeased, King Yu was angry for himself, but let Ye Qian also pick up a bargain, but even if she squeezed in front of her, King Yu would definitely not choose her, His Royal Highness King Yu didn't even look at her.
When King Yu saw Ye Qian in front, he took out a dark handkerchief from his sleeve and tied it to his eyes slowly. He was born handsome, and his movements were pleasing to the eye, and his slender fingers glowed with a faint luster in the sunlight like mutton fat and white jade.
Ye Qian swallowed her saliva quietly, looking at the finger, she suddenly wanted to eat white-cut chicken.
King Yu blindfolded, the white feather arrow was on the small *, and the nobles began to move their feet again, squeezing others back, and they tried to move forward as much as possible.
King Yu's handkerchief is specially made, specially for today's use, others look at it as opaque, in fact, he can see it clearly, seeing that Ye Qian is about to be squeezed out again, he gritted his teeth angrily, this stinky girl, she doesn't know how hard to squeeze forward, it seems that she doesn't want to be this Princess Yu at all. He shouted: "Don't move, this king is going to choose a concubine!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around twice in place, and the white feather arrow in his hand came out of the string, and with a "whoosh" sound, it was rightly tied to one of Ye Qian's exposed buns.
King Yu tore off the handkerchief and stuffed it into his arms, "Who is the princess of this king, come out quickly!" ”
The nobles are in mixed moods, and the nobles around Ye Qian regret it even more, it's really just a little bit, this little girl only showed a small mustache on her head, and she was shot by King Yu, if she had a little more strength just now and squeezed her out completely, wouldn't it be herself who was shot now?
Ye Rong was almost mad, how could this be, King Yu obviously wanted to choose himself, how could he shoot Ye Qian? She wanted to rush up and tell King Yu: "Mistaken, mistaken!" I am your princess! It's just that as soon as she took a step, she was stopped by Ye Fu.
Ye Fu clasped Ye Rong's arm hard, her eyes were full of warnings, and she said in a low voice: "You give me honesty!" Except for the second prince, the royal family members were all present, and she would never allow her sisters to make any embarrassing moves, even though she herself was angry to death.
Ye Qian's big apricot eyes looked up, and he could see the white arrow feather tail, which was tied to his small mustache.
King Yu saw her standing there blankly, biting her lip, rolling her eyes to look at the sky, no, looking at the arrow, he was almost happy again, casually threw Xiao * to the waiter, and strode over, and the nobles on both sides of Ye Qian reluctantly retreated a few steps.
King Yu stood in front of Ye Qian, touched his chin, and looked at her with disgust, she was really short, her legs were really short, and she looked stupid.
Ye Qian didn't care about saluting King Yu, she was in a hurry to take off the white feather arrow and return it to him, she couldn't see what was going on her head, she could only grope with her feelings, but the arrow feather was entangled in her hair.
King Yu watched her chubby little paws working in an orderly manner on her head, the white feather arrow did not come down, but a few hairs were torn off, and the small mustache was also crooked. He finally couldn't bear to see her anxious, so he squatted down in front of her and carefully untied the strands of hair wrapped around the white feather arrow.
Her hair was thin and soft, and as soon as his fingers touched it, he remembered the time when he had pulled her hair in his previous life, when she had a green hair hanging behind her like a waterfall, and her big apricot eyes looked at her with trust......
It's just that at this time, the apricot eyes were full of anxiety and grievances.
Xiao Yanfeng hurriedly reined in his mind and concentrated on untying the arrow from her head, Ye Qian also wanted to help, although she was not helping, Xiao Yanfeng did not stop her, just because the chubby little hand touched his white and slender fingers from time to time, and the softness and warmth spread from his fingertips to the tip of his heart, making him a little greedy for this brief touch.
Finally untied the white feather arrow, Ye Qian rubbed his scalp that was torn and hurt, "Your Highness, the arrow is back to you." ”
"Also...... Give me? Xiao Yanfeng felt that something seemed to be wrong.
Ye Qian nodded seriously, "Give it back to Your Highness, Your Highness can shoot others again." ”
Xiao Yanfeng understood what she meant now, and the little girl just didn't want to marry herself! His narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his dark eyes stared at her white, tender and round little face, and said word by word: "You are my princess of heaven!" ”
Ye Qian's apricot eyes widened, she didn't want to marry him, if she married him, she would have to leave the Hou Mansion, leave her mother, leave her brother, and live in his house. However, my brother also told himself that what the nobles said could not be refuted......
Ye Qian's pink lips opened and closed, wanting to refuse but not daring.
Xiao Yanfeng watched her little face slowly redden, and the water vapor gathered in her big apricot eyes, and the water vapor gathered more and more, and finally turned into a crystal clear teardrop, which flowed down her small face, flowed through her small chin, and dripped to the ground with a "pop".
This teardrop seemed to have turned on some kind of switch, and Ye Qian's tears rushed out.
"Wow", she, cried......
