166 Show affection in front of rivals
Marquis Rong's birthday was March 14, when the spring flowers were blooming, and I still remember that last year was also this month, and a hundred flowers banquet was held in the Ronghou Mansion. A year has passed, and there is a feeling that things are wrong.
On this day, the Ronghou Mansion was very lively, and there was a lot of joy up and down, and this joy seemed to rush away all the bad things in the past year.
Outside the house, there are all kinds of carriages parked, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.
Rong Yao followed Marquis Rong to receive guests outside the second gate, and his smiling face was sour. also looked out from time to time, thinking in his heart, when will Rong Zhao arrive.
"The Lord of Rong is blessed like the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan. ”
"Brother Rong, Shoufu Kangning. ”
The guests all said auspicious words, and Marquis Rong responded one by one, "Thank you, thank you, please, I want to drink two more glasses in a while." ”
While talking and laughing, Marquis Rong glanced outward, and his expression instantly froze.
Gao Yunyi's brother came uninvited.
Since Gao Yunyi's death, the Gao family and the Rong family have stopped contacting, and now the sudden visit has made the Rong Marquis feel uneasy.
Greeting him, Marquis Rong greeted him with a smile and said, "Brother Lao Yunpeng is running this trip, please sit in the house." ”
Gao Yunpeng stared at him with a sneer and said, "I thought you had forgotten my brother-in-law, and you didn't even send an invitation, but fortunately, I remembered in my heart that Brother Shi'an wouldn't blame me for coming uninvited." ”
Marquis Rong dealt with it decently, "Oh, Brother Yunpeng didn't receive the invitation? That must have been an omission when the next person sent the letter to the various mansions, I'm really sorry, please hurry up, and I'll punish myself three cups later." ”
Gao Yunpeng sneered, he dealt with it really well, and he was mainly anti-customer.
He looked around and said, "Haven't the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu arrived yet?" The King of Chu for disaster relief in Shu this time was very appreciated by the saints, and he praised it in front of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and your father-in-law also had a light on his face. But I'm quite worried about your daughter, I heard that the relationship between their husband and wife is not very good, and on the second day of the first lunar month, there was a big quarrel here, and the king of Chu left without even eating. ”
Rong Zhao is the heart of Lord Rong, it doesn't matter what he says, but Rong Zhao is his bottom line. Seeing that Marquis Rong had a cold face, Gao Yunpeng said with a smile: "After the husband and wife fight at the end of the bed, Brother Shi'an doesn't have to worry too much." With that, he entered the door by himself, with a sneer on his lips.
"Dad, the people of the Gao family deceive people too much. Rong Yao was uneven, and whispered in the ears of Rong Hou Ye, Rong Hou Ye stepped in to stop him from talking further, and said: "Find someone to keep an eye on him, don't let him make any trouble." ”
"Yes. Rong Yao looked out, only to see a carriage pulled by four jujube red horses outside, the carriage was wrapped in expensive and exquisite silk on all sides, the windows inlaid with gold and treasures were covered by a curtain of light blue crepe, and the carriage was hung with the sign of the Chu Palace, and he said happily: "Dad, look who is coming." ”
Marquis Rong stretched his neck all morning and waited, and finally looked forward to his daughter, and hurriedly picked up his clothes and went out to greet him.
"Daddy. It was the voice he missed, and the wrinkles on Rong Hou Yele's face bloomed, and he muttered, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
Rong Zhao complained a little about herself, she should come back to see her father as soon as she returned to Beijing, but there were people in the house who she didn't want to see, so she pushed it to today.
"I miss you so much. Outside the gate, Rong Zhao sprinkled Jiao, hugged Rong Hou Ye and leaned on his shoulder.
Xiao Junjue followed her out of the carriage, and Marquis Rong's face was even more happy, no matter what, he was still willing to sell his daughter's favor and did not let her come back alone.
Xiao Junjue said goodbye that day, he was so angry, but in front of Rong Zhao, he didn't show it.
"Okay, I'm still like a child when I'm married, hurry up and enter the house with the prince, don't neglect the prince. ”
"The remarried person is also your daughter, and you still don't like me. Rong Zhao glanced at Xiao Junjue, "He is your son-in-law, what if he neglects?"
Xiao Junjue sent the calligraphy and painting and said, "This is a gift for my father-in-law, please accept it with a smile." ”
Rong Yao pouted secretly, he was so stingy, he was still the prince, he didn't have any intention at all, and he couldn't do acting.
Rong Zhao was afraid that Marquis Rong would misunderstand, and said: "This is priceless, because the person on the painting is a priceless treasure." It's best to hang this picture in your bedroom so you can see her every day. ”
Marquis Rong had already guessed who the person in the painting was, and smiled, "The gift given by the prince is naturally to be cherished." "Towards Xiao Junjue, please go inside," the prince pleases. ”
Rong Yao also had to follow Rong Zhao and the two people inside, and was called back by Rong Houye, "Receive guests here with me." ”
Rong Yao had a bitter face and reluctantly returned to Rong Houye.
As soon as she entered the door, Rong Zhao's hand was suddenly held by Xiao Junjue, she looked at him confused, Xiao Junjue said, "Didn't you say that this is a loving couple?"
His hands were so big that they could completely wrap around hers, and Rong Zhao stretched out his five fingers and intertwined them with his, with a shy and sweet smile on his face.
This shy smile was like being dyed by flowers, Xiao Junjue looked at her, only to feel a little dazzled in front of her, and couldn't take her eyes off for a while.
Rong Yao silently "wow" and blinked, this state is not right. It wasn't like this last time he held hands, his arrogant and savage sister was captured by the King of Chu like this?
Rong Zhao wore a big red embroidered Baixian pomegranate skirt embroidered with the pattern of Luan Feng's wings, a soft-colored shawl on his arm, and his hair was curled into a Lingyun bun, which was set off by the princess's royal hairpin. She is painted with delicate makeup, and a peony flower is also painted on her eyebrows, which makes her more charming and bright.
Looking at Xiao Junjue again, he was wearing a snow-white Yunxiang Fu Bat pattern robe, the neckline and cuffs were inlaid with silver silk edge cloud pattern piping, and a blue auspicious cloud wide-edged brocade belt was tied around his waist, and his jet-black hair was tied up and wearing a jade and silver crown inlaid with a top, and the white jade crystal on the silver crown was moist and bright, which set off the black and smooth of his hair, like satin.
The gold mask of half of the face, covering the nose, revealed the cold and dusty Danfeng eyes, slender and tall but not rough figure, like an eagle in the night, exuding a cold and arrogant and lonely temperament.
As soon as the two of them appeared, they grabbed everyone's attention, Rong Zhao is beautiful and glamorous, needless to say, but she is like the most blooming red peony, as gorgeous as fire, but this gorgeous peony is matched with the cold and lonely King Chu, no matter how you look at it, you feel that these flowers bloom in winter, and the colorful phoenix follows the crow.
Knowing that Xiao Junjue was not good at socializing, Rong Zhao took him directly to Qiwulou, anyway, it was still some distance away from the banquet.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or deliberate, and I met Rong Wan halfway. Xiao Junjue's hand was a little loose, and Rong Zhao's chest swelled, and he grabbed his hand hard.
Xiao Junjue, if you dare to let go of my hand, I won't be done with you!
Rong Zhao threatened in his heart, and a provocative smile appeared on Rong Wan's face.
Rong Wan blessed the two of them, "The prince and princess are fine." ”
Rong Zhao looked her up and down a few more times, and now she is dressed much better than in the past, and now the makeup satin on her body is still a fashionable material this year.
It seems that the Gao family is dead, but she has fulfilled her, and she no longer has to be suppressed by her mother-in-law, otherwise how could she wear such good clothes.
Rong Wan stared at Xiao Junjue, his eyes were soaked with water, and he was full of Chu Chu's pity, and said, "King Chu...... The sixth sister worked hard all the way back to Beijing, and I miss you very much...... Guys. ”
"But remember, we're fine. Rong Zhao slightly blocked Xiao Junjue's side, declaring her sovereignty, "Go and get busy with you, I'm familiar with the road, I don't need you to entertain." ”
Rong Wan still wanted to say something, but Rong Zhao had already driven people away, she looked at Xiao Junjue again, and saw that he just lowered his eyes and didn't say anything, as if a thorn had been drilled into her heart, she said gloomily: "Then don't bother, I'll leave first." ”
It's long overdue, what to say here. Rong Zhao gave her a blank look.
She leaned towards Xiao Junjue, and her heart was sour. As soon as she took two steps forward, she suddenly leaned towards Xiao Junjue, pretentiously, "Oops, my foot is twisted, it hurts." ”
Rong Wan heard the voice and turned around, helped her, and asked with concern, "Sixth sister, are you okay?"
Xiao Junjue held Rong Zhao's other arm and frowned, "Why are you so careless." ”
"The road on the ground is uneven, you still blame me. Rong Zhao brushed away Rong Wan's hand without a trace, and sneered at Xiao Junjue, "I can't walk anymore, you carry me." ”
Xiao Junjue was embarrassed, Rong Zhao saw that he didn't move, and said, "Hurry up, it's not that you haven't memorized it, Qiwulou is very close to here, so you don't need to walk for two quarters of an hour." ”
She stole a glance at Rong Wan, and when she saw that her face changed all of a sudden, she snickered proudly in her heart.
Xiao Junjue caught her sly eyes and knew that she was deliberate. But he still lowered his body and carried her up, but he didn't look at Rong Wan again.
He was guilty of Rong Wan, but the matter had come to this point, and there was no need to dwell on it anymore.
Seeing that Chu Wang Zhen was carrying Rong Zhao so naturally, Rong Wan's body shook slightly, and his hand supported the pillars of the verandah. Her gaze stretched to the backs of the two of them, and the lonely tears slid down her cheeks to the corners of her mouth, a bitter taste.
She murmured softly, "Why, why has it changed?"
No one answered her, only the breeze listened.
At the bend of the corner, Rong Zhao glanced at her sideways, and saw that she was still leaning on the pillar and not leaving, and his eyes followed all the way. Rong Zhao gently hooked the corners of his mouth and snorted heavily.
When he arrived at the door of Qiwu Tower, Rong Zhao jumped off Xiao Junjue's back at once, glared at him, pouted and strode into the room.
"Go out, go out, I'm annoyed when I see you, stand there like stupid pillars one by one, be the door god for me? Rong Zhao took his temper out on his subordinates and drove them away.
Rong Zhao puffed up angrily, "Remember, I need her to worry, pretend to care for me here, I don't know how to hate me in my heart." Yes, she doesn't just think about me, but where does she think about me. ”
Xiao Junjue stood silently aside, she squinted her eyes, she was angry, grabbed his collar and asked, "Say, are you still thinking about Rongwan in your heart!" Without waiting for others to speak, she beat him like a vent, "Xiao Junjue, I have been married to you for so long, and you still think about other women in your heart, are you worthy of me?"
