Chapter Twenty-Six: The Feast (I)
The bright and clear sunlight shone into the house, dazzling enough to dispel all the gloom, but it could not drive away the gloomy mist that shrouded An Youran's head.
With both hands on his cheeks and eyebrows, even his smart eyes lost their former brilliance, and An Youran stared at the golden holy decree on the table in a daze. It only caused the maids on the side to be anxious but there was nothing to be done. In line with the professional ethics of dedication, in the end, under the resolution of guessing the fist and the death, a little girl named Apple won the lottery with honor and was piled up in front of An Youran by the united people.
"Owner......" There was a hint of timidity on the red fluttering little face, and the apple asked in a whisper, "Aren't you going to go down?" The holy decree says that the feast will be opened when it is declared...... If you delay like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with ......."
"That's right!" It was as if the immobilization technique on her body had been suddenly lifted, and An Youran, who had been sitting still, reacted suddenly when she listened to her words: she slapped the table vigorously and said excitedly, "Although the holy decree has been issued, I can also find a reason not to go!" For example, if you are sick and the carriage is broken, you can simply set a fire and say that Zhuangzi has no time to go to the banquet! ”
Her rebellious remarks that obviously wanted to resist disobedience suddenly frightened the maids in the house, and they were at a loss and didn't know what to do. Han Erqi, who happened to step into the door with one foot, heard this, and snorted coldly and mocked, "Walking water? I think it's your head in the water that is real! What madness are you having! The queen mother's banquet today is invited by the young nobles of the current dynasty and envoys from other countries from afar, all of them have heads and faces, powerful and powerful, no matter how you look at it, you can't reach one of them! If it weren't for the light of the South Courtyard, what would it be your turn to show your face on such an occasion!? You don't know how to be grateful, but you still think about how to bully the king, are you too long, or is your skin and flesh itchy?! ”
The big thorn sat down on the main seat, picked up the white jade teapot on the small table and poured himself a drink, Han Erqi completely looked like a noisy leader, "Besides, you don't use your brain!" The objects of this participation are not only noble, but also handsome men and beauties, if you are lucky to be a handsome and dashing prince, you don't have to worry about food and clothing in this life! So which girl doesn't want to drill into it, you should also seize the opportunity to find a good family for yourself! ”
As if he was sneering at Han Erqi's kindness, An leisurely twisted his head and sneered, "Han Gongzi's trick of 'sending the plague god' really makes him smart, not only let me accept your personal feelings, but also clean up my roadblock, so that you can return to the South Courtyard as soon as possible and become the deputy envoy of the majestic palace tent army!" You don't have to work so hard, I will tell Xiao Suchen today that my Qiluo Villa Temple is small and simple and can't bear your big Buddha, and I can let you go back to the courtyard immediately, as you wish! ”
Although what An Youran said was exactly what Han Erqi wanted, he didn't dare to accept it. Han Erqi knew everything about Xiao Suchen's temperament and temperament, and Han Erqi understood: If An Youran really proposed to Xiao Suchen the reason for letting him go back to the house, I am afraid that he will not only not want to return to the hospital in this life, but will also be assigned to the frontier shepherd!
Afraid that An Youran's bull temper would come up, and he would really recklessly report Xiao Suchen according to the truth, Han Erqi said in a low voice, "Ling Biluo, think about what I said carefully, but every word is for your good!" You are also sixteen this year, my Lingbei man is a thirteen-year-old adult, a woman is twelve years old and Jing, and fourteen years old can get married! As the saying goes, women don't stay, stay and stay and stay into sorrow! You don't want to be an old aunt for the rest of your life, do you? ”
"I just want to be an old aunt who will not marry in this life!" Although Han Erqi had been patiently persuaded with painstaking words, An Youran was stunned today for some reason, and he was invulnerable. As soon as he opened the door, he pointed his hand and roared angrily, "Han Erqi! Get the hell out of here! Whether I, Ling Biluo, live or die, good or bad, I don't need you to point fingers here! ”
Seeing that the two of them were in a quarrel, and they were in the same situation, the maids could no longer sit idly by and let it go. They had a tacit understanding of dividing into two: one group pulled An leisurely from the door back to the table to sit down, and the other group stepped forward to stop the angry Han Erqi from leaving the house.
Apple, as the chief lobbyist, stubbornly said to An leisurely, "Owner, you should dissipate your anger first." What Lord Han said is not completely unreasonable......"
Seeing An Youran's cold and unmoved face, Apple bit his lip and thought for a moment, then changed his previous sad face and said happily, "Owner, don't you usually like to watch handsome guys and beautiful girls?" This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Do you think about how spectacular and eye-catching it is to look at the scene full of handsome guys? And how could you miss it!? ”
Hearing her mouth full of modern terms, An Youran couldn't help but have black lines on her head. Is this called learning from good people and harming people from bad people? I think that this innocent girl who is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper has been taught by her own words and deeds in just three months, and the handsome guy with her mouth and eyes is closed, how can she really be embarrassed?
Apple, on the other hand, was completely immersed in her fantasy world, not noticing An Youran's self-blame at all, the corners of her lips raised her eyes and said obsessively, "And the outside world is rumored that the first beautiful man in Dayu, the prince of King Jin, will also come to this banquet!"
So the slaves and maids are looking forward to your coming back and giving us a good description after you see it! What kind of stunning appearance does this handsome guy look like? ”
Apple's expectation is right in the middle of the sore spot, the reason why she is reluctant to go to the banquet is that she doesn't want to see Li Yan again at the banquet, that is, she doesn't want to see Li Yan and Liu Wanxuan in person, she just doesn't want to ...... Let yourself be heartbroken again!
I once heard someone say that if you have heartache, it means that your heart is not dead, and if your heart is not dead, it means that you have not let go. An leisurely understands this truth, and at the same time, he clearly knows what Li Yan means to himself!
So before she died, she chose not to come closer! If you don't see it, your heart won't beat if you can't see it, and if you can't hear it, you won't be moved by it anymore......
Time is a double-edged sword, it will take away your most precious life, but it will also slowly smooth out your wounds that cannot heal on their own......
His eyes sank, and An replied with a gloomy expression, "I don't like to show up in crowded places, so don't talk about it...... I won't go! ”
Seeing that An Youran's mind had been decided, Apple decided to use the last killer move, "If you don't go, King Xiao will go to the meeting alone!" He is our young man in Lingbei, and the wishful man in the eyes of the girls! If he's lost to another girl, what will you do then......"
Xiao Suchen and An Youran have a very good relationship, which is a well-known secret in Yiluo Villa. Even if he is busy with official business, Xiao Suchen will find time to visit. Usually shush the cold and ask for warmth, and there are countless actions to send clothes and things. Even Apple's subordinates privately thought that An Youran and Xiao Suchen were a pair of affectionate people, so she deliberately resorted to this trick, in a vain attempt to turn the tide and force An Youran to change her mind and obey the banquet.
However, An Youran only heard one sentence from her words: Xiao Suchen is also going to attend the banquet in the palace! Thinking of the last chance encounter at the market, An was uneasy. Tang Ning could easily recognize Xiao Suchen as Su Chen with just one glance...... In King Jin's mansion, the two of them ate and slept together, and they worked together. Tang Ning's everything about Su Chen can be said to be too familiar! And Tang Ning's personality is quite stubborn, if he has doubts about the 'misidentification' last time, he will definitely take the opportunity of the banquet to pay attention everywhere, thinking that his understanding of Su Chen, in case he finds clues during the period...... The consequences are unimaginable!
First of all, Xiao Suchen organized the assassination of Liu Kun, the Marquis of Zhongyuan, many times during the Dayu period, and if his identity was revealed, it would definitely cause the two countries to fight each other, and it was unknown when the soldiers met. Secondly, Lingbei prohibits Chinese people from leaving the country without permission, and it is a great crime of treason! Judging from Xiao Suchen's rumors, he is obviously Da Yu who went quietly from the emperor. Once the matter is revealed, I am afraid that it will be impossible to escape death......
Thinking of this, An Youran gasped, stood up without hesitation, and ordered in a deep voice to the frightened maids in the room: "Hurry up and help me get dressed up, I want to enter the palace!" ”
