Chapter 3 The prince loves red vegetables
The palace maid on the side hurriedly filled Xiangye with wine, and Xiangye raised his glass and drank the wine, and then slowly sat down.
Qingge has always been idle, seeing that Hua Xuanji only cares about eating the osmanthus cake on the plate, she has no intention of watching the song and dance, so she whispers to Yeguoguo what she heard.
The emperor of Dayang has six sons, among which the eldest prince is also the current crown prince who has a marriage contract with Yeguoguo, and the second prince and the eldest prince are twins. In other words, the second prince is the most unfavored prince now.
And the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince have all had a marriage contract, so today's banquet is mainly for the prince, and the sixth prince is the illegitimate son of the emperor, and he has appeared a few times, so this time it is for the second prince and the three princes to choose concubines. Of course, it must be headed by the crown prince.
After listening to the light song and chattering, Hua Xuanji had to admire her gossip ability, while stuffing a piece of osmanthus cake into her mouth again, and said inarticulately: "I really don't know where you know these things." ”
She was originally a little girl, and her father didn't love her mother, so there were no such things in Hua Xuanji's memory. She, a little palace maid, knows so much.
Qingge smiled embarrassedly, scratched her head and said, "The slave maid is also boring, and I just followed the palace maids in the palace to inquire." ”
Hua Xuanji smiled slightly, the women and the men were made separately, far apart. In addition, there was a group of dancing girls in the middle, so Hua Xuanji looked up anxiously for a long time, and she didn't look at the faces of several princes. Rubbing her sore neck, the man in yellow sitting closest to the emperor attracted her attention.
Beauty, this is the only word that can be used to describe Yeguoguo at this time.
A golden robe lined his handsome face with snow-white, a pair of eyes as gentle as a spring breeze in March, and thin red lips under the high bridge of his nose were tightly pursed. However, he didn't pay attention to singing and dancing like everyone else, just holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand, and picking something out of the bowl in front of him very seriously.
Somehow, Hua Xuanji only felt that this face looked a little familiar, but she couldn't remember anything.
Hurriedly poked forward curiously, and suddenly, I saw the emperor wave his hand slightly, and the sound of singing and dancing stopped abruptly, and then the shrill voice of the eunuch came: "Hua Xuanji, the daughter of Hua Caichen, the prime minister of Xuanyipin, is driving."
As soon as the voice started, Hua Xuanji only felt that a sudden gaze suddenly hit her body, and she didn't go away for a long time.
No matter who he was, Hua Xuanji didn't dare to think about it, and slowly walked in front of the emperor with the support of Qingge, bowed down and said with a slight bow to learn from others: "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." However, this distance was even closer to the prince, and Hua Xuanji really couldn't control her curiosity, so she squinted her eyes and looked vigorously at his table.
In the golden dragon-patterned bowl, there were only a bunch of red dishes left at this time, and those dishes of other colors that he had sandwiched out were scattered on a table, looking very embarrassed. However, the prince was indifferent, and now everyone's eyes were on her Hua Xuanji, but he continued to pick it out quietly and seriously as if he had nothing to do with him.
Hua Xuanji rolled her eyes, and thought with some uneasiness that her husband would be a fool in the future. God, I didn't tell her this light song.
"Get up." The emperor's majestic voice suddenly came from overhead, and Hua Xuanji hurriedly got up, but her eyes were staring at the prince's table for a moment.
"Could it be that you care a lot about what the prince is doing?"
"yes. Why did he pick out all the dishes except the red ones? Hua Xuanji was thinking about the prince's question at this time, and her brain couldn't turn and she said what she thought.
Suddenly, there was a gasping sound in the crowd, mixed with a few traces of disdain.
This disdain, of course, comes from the mouth of the corolla.
"Presumptuous, how can you talk to the emperor." The eunuch's voice was strange, and Hua Xuanji, who was still shocked in her gaffe, heard it in her ears, and there was a bit of a terrible taste.
Hua Xuanji unexpectedly said that she had said the wrong thing, stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly said uneasily: "Your Majesty, the courtiers said the wrong thing when they saw the driver for the first time, please forgive me." "It is said that a companion is like a tiger, and the second sentence he said offended the emperor. Hua Xuanji subconsciously touched her neck, for fear that she would be separated from herself in the next second.
The emperor did not speak, and the whole banquet was quiet for a moment, and everyone thought that the emperor was angry, and they all waited with bated breath for the next storm. Hua Xuanji closed her eyes even more uneasily.
But the queen who was sitting on the side came out to play a round, and said with a loving smile: "Look at this little girl, before she has passed the door, she first cares about her husband." Your Majesty, it is also a great luck in the world for Sheng Er to find this kind of wife. ”
Hua Xuanji raised her head slightly and quietly looked at the queen who was speaking for her.
I saw that she was dressed in a deep verdant bamboo group, wearing a thin golden silk dress outside, luxurious but not charming, Lingyun temples coiled high, with a pure gold ruby peony swaying, a smile and an extraordinary bearing, and with a little kindness, melon seed face, big eyes, warm and loving looking at Hua Xuanji, small nose, absolutely first-class posture, quite a queen's style.
"Yes. Get up. The emperor finally spoke out unhurriedly, so that Hua Xuanji's hanging heart also swallowed steadily into his stomach, and glanced at the queen gratefully, feeling that his head would not be separated from him at present. It seems that you have to be careful in what you say and do.
The queen smiled lovingly and said to the prince who was concentrating on picking vegetables: "Sheng'er, do you like Miss Hua Xuanji." As he spoke, he pointed at Hua Xuanji.
Hua Xuanji got up slowly, looked at the prince who was concentrating on picking vegetables with some uneasiness, and waited for his reply with everyone.
However, after not seeing him make any other moves for a long time, the queen frowned a little embarrassedly, and repeated with a smile: "Sheng'er, do you like Miss Hua Xuanji." ”
The beautiful man in yellow raised his head slowly, put down the chopsticks in his hand gently, and glanced at Yeguoguo and replied in a light tone: "Erchen." ”
And then there was no follow-up. The cold wind is swishing, and the cool moon is lonely.
No less than hundreds of people, staring at each other with big eyes.
A cup of tea passed.
The moonlight was lonely, and the big eyes glared at the prince.
A stick of incense passed.
The cold wind swished, and the small eyes stared at the emperor.
Just when Hua Xuanji's legs were completely sore, she heard a faint sound. The beautiful man in yellow who was picking vegetables didn't raise his head. "I like it."
Oh my god. Ye Guoguo took a cold breath, how could this prince speak and pant so loudly that she was so frightened that she thought that there was something wrong with her ears.
Looking up again, looking at the emperor and queen sitting on it, they were still the same as just now, with a familiar look.
At this second, Hua Xuanji seemed to have thought of her married life.
The candlelight flickered, and in the fiery cave room, the prince and wife were picking vegetables while staring at her.
She's going crazy with this kind of person. Hua Xuanji looked at Qingge behind her with an innocent face. Qingge spread her hands and looked at her innocently.
Oh my God, Hua Xuanji couldn't help but sigh. What kind of fate is she Hua Xuanji, why did all the bad things let her stand up. thought that marrying a prince would be able to soar, but this prince was still paralyzed and gasped for breath with less words.
"Huh." The queen laughed lightly twice, and then said, "Since we like it, the emperor might as well set a date for them." ”
"Your Majesty, the courtiers have something important to do." In Hua Xuanji's helplessness, Hua Guancai suddenly walked out of the crowd with a luxurious dress and knelt down to Yeguoguo's side.
"What's the matter?" The emperor's speech was also concise and to the point. A pair of eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the corolla.
"The courtiers have heard that the little sister Hua Xuanji is not a virgin."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd burst into a loud noise, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and the whole crowd heard voices of disdain from time to time. Almost instantly, the old emperor's face, which originally had a faint smile, instantly dimmed, as if a frost suddenly fell on a bright June sky, and asked sharply. "What did you say?"
This time, Hua Xuanji really felt that her head and neck were about to wave goodbye.
