148 Glory (2)
The conversation of several people fell into Duan Rufang's ears word for word, Duan Qingxuan nervously held the corner of his clothes, on the other hand, Duan Rufang, but leisurely picked up the teacup in front of him, seeing that Duke Lanxin was in front of him, Duan Qingxuan couldn't help but whisper, "Sister, why don't I go to find my grandmother......"
"Are you Miss Duan San?" Duan Qingxuan was finally a step late, Princess Lanxin came quickly, glanced at Duan Rufang arrogantly, and said loudly, Duan Rufang pretended to be frightened and put down the teacup in his hand, got up and saluted, "Exactly, I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess"
"No courtesy, I heard that you are very talented, this princess wants to see it" Lan Xin said as he took the white scroll in the hand of the eunuch on the side, spread it on the table, and stuffed a pen into Duan Rufang's hand, "At that time, your eldest sister drew a peony picture for me, I know that you are not as talented as your eldest sister, so I will let you go."
Duan Rubian was carrying the pen, but he paused for a long time, Duan Qingxuan's palms were sweating, he was afraid that Duan Rubian would be ugly, but the other party was a princess, and everyone present was watching the excitement, Jiang Chengyue covered her mouth with her sleeves, coughed in a low voice, and a fierce color crossed her eyes.
When Lan Xin was really impatient and ready to slap the table, Duan Rujian made a move. She just smiled, put the pen on the table, and possessed herself slightly, "Back to the princess, the courtiers won't"
The grapes in Yeluji's hand fell on the table, staring at Duan Rufang incredulously, what kind of fame is this woman doing
Duan Ruhua's face changed slightly, she didn't seem to expect Duan Rubian to answer so honestly, she thought that Duan Rubian would at least pretend for a while, Duan Qingxuan gasped, Duan Rubian refused to forget it, such a smile on her face, wouldn't it be a provocation to Princess Lanxin?
Obviously, Lan Xin and Duan Qingxuan thought the same, and immediately slapped the table, and the teacup on the table overturned in response, staining the white roll on the table, "Duan Rufang, are you provoking this princess!"
Duan Rubian slowly stepped back, his expression unchanged, "Her Royal Highness the princess has thought too much, but the courtiers don't dare"
"Don't you dare?" Isn't it a provocation for you to disobey the princess's order?" Lan Xin put on the princess's shelf, not retreating at all, "Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, since it is a good day, it is not suitable to see blood, this princess will give you another chance, among the four kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you can choose one, as a birthday gift for the Queen Mother's birthday, if you don't do it, you will not be able to cut off a few heads!"
As soon as Lan Xin's words came out, the corners of Duan Ruhua's mouth curled slightly, this crime is a big one, if Duan Ruhua can't deal with the past, I'm afraid he will really die here.
The scene was slightly deadlocked, seeing that Duan Rufang didn't speak for a long time, Yelu Ji frowned, and just remembered that in front of him, Wan Yan, who was sitting beside him, held the wine glass and said coldly, "You can rest assured, her ability is more than that."
Yeluji narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone was slightly cold, "How can you be so sure?"
Wan Yan laughed drunk, his eyebrows were picturesque, but his tone changed slightly, "Don't worry about this for now, but I want to warn you, if you are going to go back to Nanchu, it is best to stay away from Duan Rubian for a while, otherwise, not only your younger brother, but also some seemingly non-poisonous fierce snakes, I am afraid that they will target Duan Rufang."
Yelu Ji sat down slowly, thinking about his drunken words.
Knowing that he couldn't hide today, Duan Rubian just wanted to speak, when the screams of the eunuchs came from behind him
"The emperor has arrived—"
"The Queen Mother has arrived—"
"The Queen Mother has arrived—"
"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the queen, the queen mother, the queen mother, the queen mother, the queen mother, the queen mother,
Everyone knelt on the ground in unison, shouting loudly, the emperor came with a smile on his face, holding the queen mother, the queen mother was wearing a red robe, lined with joy, the queen seemed to be much older, the smile on her face was not very good-looking, the three of them followed, it was Yelusa and the people of the Southern Chu mission, Duan Rufang raised his head slightly, just in time to see the person who followed Yelusa, the national teacher Jian Fengyu.
The man was thin and tall, looking very weak, but his eyes were very sharp, wearing a red robe, but he didn't wear Rong Qi's enchanting charm, but it looked very incompatible with his temperament.
In the back, it is naturally the princes, Xiao Yuqing and Xiao Yanchen's outfits are very eye-catching, the appearance of Qi Yu Xuanang makes people can't take their eyes off, Xiao Lanshu seems to be looking for someone, a smile appeared on his face when he looked at Duan Rubian's side, of course Duan Rubian would not be naïve enough to think that he was smiling at himself, Duan Ruhua behind him knelt upright, not squinting.
Calming down the noise in his heart, Duan Ruhua closed his eyes, but heard the sound of gasping behind him, and couldn't help but glance back, Duan Ruhua knelt in place and looked not far away, looking very out of shape, Duan Rubian was puzzled, and looked at her gaze, and was inevitably amazed.
He didn't wear red today, but instead wore a purple satin robe, which exposed the trim of silver hollow hibiscus, outlining his slender and upright figure, and his black hair was tied up high with a white jade crown, which was a little more indifferent and evil than the charm of the past.
He participated in the birthday banquet as the seventh son of Rong Wangfu, followed by the young lady of Rong Wangfu, Duan Rubian recalled the chrysanthemum banquet in his previous life, Duan Ruhua at that time fell in love with Su Jinyu on the chrysanthemum banquet, and it happened that day, the seventh son of Rong Wang did not seem to participate, yes, if it was the chrysanthemum banquet that Rong Qi attended, I am afraid that Duan Ruhua married Su Jinyu in the previous life.
Looking at Duan Ruhua and lowering his head with a spring face, Duan Ruhua's mood was not very good, and his face was even more indifferent.
The emperor and the queen mother sat down, let everyone be flat, the emperor was the first to speak, looking at Lan Xin, "Xin'er, I was outside just now, I heard a noise in the building, what happened?"
Princess Lanxin smiled and strode forward to the Queen Mother's side, "That's the case, Sister Youwei just drew a peony picture for me, I was interested for a while, and I wanted the third lady of Duan Mansion Duan Rubian to also make a pair for the Queen Mother, as a birthday gift, but the third lady didn't seem to be very willing."
Princess Lanxin deliberately erased some things, forcing Duan Rubian to refute it, of course, she didn't seem to bother to argue at the moment.
The Queen Mother had a smile on her face and looked at Duan Rufang, "How about Duan San......?" Don't want to congratulate the mourning family on their birthday?"
Duan Rubian walked from his position to the center of the hall with a cold face, and knelt down slowly, "It's just that what the princess has chosen, not Rufang's specialty, since it is to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, she must show her ability."
"Then tell me, what are you good at?" Concubine Yue interjected, her expression was full of disdain, who didn't know that Duan Rubian was from Licheng, a village girl in the countryside who was fostered since childhood, how could she have any skills, but she was just smiling and generous.
"Concubine Yue, listening to what you say, it seems that you don't believe Miss Duan San very much?" The queen's eyes swept to Concubine Yue, and her voice was faint, "This little girl has a good kung fu in archery, and the three princes can't fight her."
Thinking of the defeat to Duan Rufang in the past, Xiao Lanshu's face darkened, after all, in front of Duan Ruhua, he didn't want to lose to a woman in the boudoir, but the queen opened her mouth, he could only admit it, and nodded slowly, "Miss Duan San's riding and shooting is really good, if it wasn't for the comparison with Miss Duan San, she wouldn't have pushed so many relatives, and Miss Shi wouldn't have been disfigured......"
This birthday banquet, Shi Qian also participated, sitting at the back, with a mask, she heard this, a trace of anger crossed her eyes, that incident, she will never forget for the rest of her life!
"Yes, Rufang still remembers, it is the third prince who must compare his courtiers and daughters......" Duan Rubian shot back indifferently, not afraid that the other party was a prince, and only explained the facts, Xiao Lanshu gritted his teeth, yes, if he hadn't been in a hurry, he wouldn't have shot Shi Qiao's face with one arrow, alienating the relationship between the royal family and the historian.
"Having said so much, Duan San, what do you want to show the mourning family?" The Queen Mother interrupted the two of them, narrowing her eyes lovingly, she also wanted to see why Duan Rufang wanted to win back a game today.
"The little girl is not talented, she has lived in Licheng since she was a child, and she can only ride and shoot well, but she has learned the piano with Miss Qin's family for a few years" Duan Rubian said slowly, the piano skill is one of her best attainments in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the qin saint personally taught her to practice the piano, with her first-hand piano skills, and also asked the master to go out of the mountain to help Xiao Yuqing win the heir, which shows the high piano skills.
"Okay, come on, go get a piano" The emperor waved his hand and ordered, Concubine Yue opened her mouth to stop, "Your Majesty, there is a good piano there is a concubine there......"
"Coincidentally, this Shizi also got a treasure piano a while ago, but it's a pity that no one can play the artistic conception, I don't know if Miss Duan San is feasible"
Concubine Yue made a move, she must have done enough, Duan Rubian was thinking about how to take it, and a familiar laugh came from the male guest on the side, Rong Qi said something, Concubine Yue's face was obviously very bad, he was clearly provoking himself, but with his grandfather and his family's power, Concubine Yue could retreat
"Since the seventh prince has a good piano, why don't you take it out and take a look" The emperor agreed, Rong Qi asked people to fetch it, Duan Rubian was helped up by the palace people, and stood aside silently, but he always lowered his head and did not respond to the hot gaze cast not far away, Lu Pingzhu pouted in the female guest seat, "This is like a flaw, it won't be a bluff."
"Not necessarily" Although Jiang Chengyue replied like this, she was very sure in her heart, but what she doubted more at the moment was the relationship between Rong Qi and Duan Rufang.
Duan Ruhua was furious in his heart from the moment Rong Qi opened his mouth to help Duan Rufang just now, and stared at Duan Rufang's back viciously.
Not long after, Yueluo came to Changyin Pavilion with the qin in her hand, the moment Jiang Chengyue saw the qin, her body couldn't help shaking, and Lu Pingzhu leaned over suspiciously, "Sister Jiang, what's wrong with that qin?"
Jiang Chengyue swallowed her saliva, her eyes flashed with envy, "It's Jiaoweiqin, how can this qin be in his hands"
Jiang Chengyue was not the only one in the hall who recognized Jiaowei, and they all started to discuss, Yelu squinted his eyes, and his tone was slightly sour, "Good luck for the seventh son, I can find Jiaowei, a famous qin who has disappeared for a long time."
Rong Qi smiled lightly and did not answer, Yue Luo put the qin in front of Rong Qi, and he personally handed it to Duan Rubian, and set it up for her, his eyes were gentle, which made all the women present stunned, and the people in Rong Wang's Mansion stared incredulously, Baili Xue came to Baili Chen's ear, and couldn't suppress the surprise in his tone, "Isn't Baili Wuyan a broken sleeve......!
"Shut up!" Bai Li Chen stopped Bai Li Xue and stared at Duan Rufang's side face, the cursing sound of Bai Li Yan beside him made him upset.
Duan Rufang pushed away Rong Qi's hand expressionlessly, and said in a low voice, "Thank you"
Before his hand touched the strings, he was gripped, and his hoarse and magnetic voice came from his ears, "Since I gave the famous piano to the third lady, can you let me decide the repertoire?"
Duan Rufang's heart was unstable, and he pulled out his hand in shame, pretending to calmly straighten his sleeves, "Please say"
