126: Losing face
With such obvious words to defend Ling Wushuang, everyone couldn't understand it, Ling Yuyan's face turned pale, and only then did she know that she was afraid. Words are sympathetic
The eldest princess meant that her self-righteousness could not be more obvious.
Ling Wushuang's eyes were light, he glanced at the horror and fear on Ling Yuyan's face, sat down leisurely, and said to the stupid king: "Do you want to go to other places to play?" ”
"Momo is going." The Silly King bent his crescent-colored eyes and nodded happily.
Just now, yes, just now, he wanted to hide his twin sons from anyone.
Alluring the country and the city, she is radiant, and she can only belong to him Xuanyuan Mo alone.
Others don't want to covet it.
In the interval when Ling Wushuang was not paying attention, Xuanyuan Mo's clear eyes glanced extremely quickly in the direction where Xuanyuan Qing was, and at that glance, there was an incomparable Yin Owl. When he felt Ling Wushuang looking at him, his eyes quickly shifted, returning to a pure and immaculate state.
"Sister Shuang'er, will you take Ling'er with you?" The county lord of Qingyang blinked his eyes wide, full of longing.
"Let's go together." Ling Wushuang nodded with a smile, seeing the eldest princess's gaze looking at her, he greeted her softly, and took the two of them, the Silly King and the Qingyang County Lord, and withdrew from the banquet and left.
No matter how embarrassed Ling Yuyan felt, she finally stiffened her head, bowed her head and returned to her position to sit down. was slapped by Ling Wushuang, and he didn't say anything, in a blink of an eye, Ling Yushan, who was a trampling person, also wanted to climb on her head and pull a bubble of to insult her, did she really think that she Ling Yuyan was easy to bully? With the fan clenched tightly in her hand, she glared fiercely at Ling Yushan, who was about to stroke the qin, as if she wanted to swallow its flesh, drink its blood, draw its tendons, and peel its skin, so as to relieve the hatred and shame that surged in her heart!
The mood is peaceful, and the body and mind are integrated into the song.
After going over Ling Wushuang's words to hers in his mind, Ling Yushan's hands were as white as jade, and she gracefully put on the strings.
The graceful and light music gradually spread over the venue with the wind.
"Your sister-in-law is too self-conscious, she dares to follow you and show off her piano skills, isn't she afraid of losing the face of your Jing'an Hou Mansion?"
When Ling Yuyan heard the words of the handkerchief beside her, her depressed mood instantly became slightly better, her red lips opened lightly, and she said, "Maybe my third sister is a dark horse in our Hou Mansion, but I don't know." "Do you want to learn from Ling Wushuang to be a blockbuster? You have to have the ability to do that, don't you?
Hearing the sarcasm in Ling Yuyan's words, her handkerchief pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
As everyone knows, he already looked down on Ling Yuyan a little bit in his heart.
Squeeze your sister, sarcastically mock your sister, can this person do anything? Several handkerchiefs who have a good relationship with Ling Yuyan have unusual family backgrounds, and they are all daughters of their respective families, and they can walk together with Ling Yuyan, the concubine of the Hou Mansion, all because of Jing'an Hou's love for his mother and daughter, and Ling Yuyan's fame among the women in the capital in the past two years.
Otherwise, who wants to spend time with a Hou Mansion maid.
The concubines in the big family are all cultivated in accordance with the etiquette norms of the housewife, and they don't have so much of a small family spirit in their minds.
Seeing that Ling Yuyan was about to watch her sister's joke in the center of the field, several women sitting with her glanced at each other before turning their eyes to the center of the field.
Xuanyuan Qing wanted to get up and follow Ling Wushuang and the others, but the flower-viewing venue was quiet at the moment, and once he got up and walked away, it was particularly abrupt.
So, his eyes lowered, he glanced in the direction of Ling Yuyan with disgust, and then looked at Ling Yushan who was playing the piano. On closer inspection, Ling Yushan's appearance was similar to Ling Wushuang, not as mediocre as Ling Yuyan's.
There is a substitute, first satisfy him by his side, it is not bad, Xuanyuan Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought in his heart.
As the music changed, everyone couldn't help but fall into it.
The sound of a clear spring in the mountains plays its own dynamic music.
The dense bamboo forest is accompanied by the wind, sometimes embracing each other; When the children chant in a low voice; Sometimes they whispered to each other; Sometimes with a faint smile, the clear spring and the bamboo forest exude an attractive fragrance, take a deep breath, enter the heart and spleen, and stay fragrant for a long time.
It is a beautiful situation, and everyone seems to have stepped into this fairyland one by one, enjoying a moment of leisure and comfort.
Forget all the troubles of the world. The birds are singing, walking slowly, to the state of forgetfulness.
No one could bear to make a noise, disturbing this comfort and tranquility.
The eldest princess of Showa nodded again and again when she heard this, and she had a strange idea in her heart, as if Ling Yushan could play this song, which could only be made by Ling Wushuang's strange woman.
Is it her? Was it the music she composed for the third lady of Hou Fusan in the scene?
After the song was finished, Ling Yushan got up and smiled at everyone, that smile was elegant and refined, not pretentious at all, and extremely good-looking. She didn't look at the king, she didn't look at it, her posture was elegant, she walked in front of the eldest princess of Showa from the center of the field, and bowed, "The little girl is not good at the piano, and I hope the eldest princess will not blame!" ”
"You played very well, and Hongu listened very comfortably, as if all your troubles had dissipated with the sound of your piano." The eldest princess smiled softly and said, "It seems that this song has never been heard in this palace?" ”
The eldest princess's question was very subtle, but Ling Yushan heard the meaning of the eldest princess's words, and in order to keep her promise to Ling Wushuang, she replied with a salute: "Back to the eldest princess, the little girl played this song by accident, and it has not been spread so far. Nodding thoughtfully, the eldest princess casually took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, handed it to the maid beside her, and said, "Miss Ling San's song is very much in line with the heart of this palace, this bracelet will reward her!" ”
"Yes, eldest princess."
The maid responded, took the jade bracelet from the eldest princess's hand and held it to Ling Yushan's approach, "Little girl, thank the eldest princess for the reward!" Ling Yushan's expression was calm, and she was not complacent because she had been rewarded by the eldest princess, she knelt on the ground, stretched out her hands, held the jade bracelet in her palm, and thanked the eldest princess.
"Excuse me!" The eldest princess raised her hand and smiled to let Ling Yushan get up.
Ling Yuyan felt that she had to go into the hole in the ground to avoid losing face.
What she had just said to a few handkerchiefs beside her had come true! Ling Yushan, who practiced people, also had good piano skills, which was better than her, how did my aunt ask the master to teach her? Not to mention an amazing talent Ling Wushuang, this one, just today, there is another Ling Yushan with superb piano skills.
Annoyance, hatred, and embarrassment poured into Ling Yuyan's heart.
"Fourth brother, I can't imagine that you, the future side concubine, still have this hand? This piano technique is completely comparable to Ling Wushuang's evil woman. Xuanyuan Li sat next to Xuanyuan Qing and teased: "However, this fourth brother, your concubine can be regarded as losing face!" Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice, and Ling Wushuang was first insulted by his words, and then he was pressed down by his sister with piano skills, alas! After today, she will most likely become the talk of the people in the capital after dinner. ”
"You don't speak, no one treats you as a mute!" Xuanyuan Qing's evil eyes were full of gloom, he already felt that he was shameless, but he was so unscrupulously teased by his own brother, he was a person, and he was afraid that he would turn his face. Regarding what Xuanyuan Qing said, Xuanyuan Li smiled, touched his nose, and said, "Brother, isn't this just a casual talk!" Fourth brother, why should you take it seriously. ”
Xuanyuan Qing snorted coldly, and didn't pay attention to what Xuanyuan Li said.
"I didn't expect Miss Ling San's piano skills to be so good, I heard Princess Lu's piano sound last time in the poetry competition, in comparison, Miss Ling San's piano skills are only a little worse than Princess Lu's piano skills. Alas! It's really enviable. ”
"I love this song, it sounds so comfortable!"
"Me too! I don't know who wrote Miss Ling San's song? If I knew, even if I was licking my face, I would have to ask for a song for myself. ”
"Seeing that you all think beautifully, if you want me to say, most of Miss Ling San's piano music is from the hands of Princess Lu."
"You're right, the music played by Princess Lu during the poetry competition, and the flute played during the wedding, all sound very novel, she is really talented!"
The women sitting next to Ling Yuyan, that is, Ling Yuyan's so-called handkerchiefs, put their heads together, and talked in a low voice and eagerly about the piano skills of Ling Yushan and Ling Wushuang.
wanted to pretend that she didn't hear it, but she still heard it in her ears, Ling Yuyan's face was ugly. But even so, she couldn't lose her rules and refute these handkerchiefs and say a few words.
lest people say behind her back that she is small and can't tolerate her sister being stronger than her.
In order to save her face, and even more sarcastically sarcastic Ling Yushan, Ling Yuyan smiled, looked at Ling Yushan, and said, "Third sister, you can play this song, it was taught to you by the eldest sister, right?" "It's better to be able to hit one by one than to lose face by herself. Ling Yushan's clear eyes blinked slightly, nodded and said hello to the eldest princess, moved lightly step by lotus, and walked to Ling Yuyan's table, a faint smile overflowed from the corner of her lips, and she said softly: "Back to the second sister, the song Shan'er played just now was obtained by Shan'er from someone outside the party by chance. As for the second sister saying that the eldest sister taught me, it was completely gone. ”
"Really?" Ling Yuyan pursed her lips and asked lightly.
Ling Yushan still smiled lightly, not in a hurry, and replied: "Of course it is!" Don't the second sister believe it? After a pause, Ling Yushan continued: "Shan'er originally wanted to find the eldest sister to learn piano skills, but unfortunately the eldest sister was very busy and didn't have time to teach Shan'er. ”
A few simple words came out of Ling Yushan's mouth, which made Ling Yuyan lose her mind for a while, she was annoyed with Ling Yushan's sharp teeth, but she had to pretend to be smiling, "So that's the case!" In the future, if there is a chance, the two sisters will find the eldest sister to learn piano skills together. ”
"The second sister wants to learn piano skills with the eldest sister, so you can talk to her." Ling Yushan smiled lightly, and saluted Ling Yuyan: "Does the second sister still have something to say to Shan'er?" I wanted to return to my position, but I was worried that Ling Yuyan would go crazy and shout something out of character later, so Ling Yushan asked him softly.
Ling Yuyan waved her hand at Ling Yushan casually and twisted her head away.
Losing face again, Ling Yuyan was bored and just wanted to get out of here quickly. However, the flower viewing party was only halfway through, and she couldn't fold the face of King Qi, let alone put the eldest princess in her eyes, and let the girl help her to take the carriage back to the palace.
In the center of the venue, everyone's talent show continued to be in full swing, and what everyone thought of Ling Yuyan's behavior in their hearts, only everyone knew in their hearts, or a few who had a good relationship with each other whispered to each other, knowing that the so-called talented girl in the capital turned out to be such a brainless woman.
Mo Muyun, as the number one talent in the capital, was naturally invited to participate in this year's flower viewing party, since he had Ling Wushuang's figure in his heart, he had lived a good life like a year.
I want to see it, but I don't have a reason.
What's more, knowing that there can be no result, he is still deeply trapped in a hopeless love and cannot extricate himself.
The confrontation between Ling Wushuang and Ling Yuyan just now, in his eyes, the heart lake, which had always been indifferent, became rolling waves as the strange woman's grace bloomed, and it could not be calmed down for a long time.
I wonder where she's going? As he thought in his heart, Mo Muyun got up from his seat and quietly left alone.
It's strange to say, after Mo Muyun left, Brother Xuanyuan Qing seemed to have discussed it, and left the flower viewing venue one after another, enjoying it leisurely in Mingcui Courtyard.
The eldest princess of Showa frowned slightly at the halfway departure of the Qi Wang brothers, and said to everyone: "The palace is slightly unwell, so leave first, and everyone will have fun." ”
"Yes." Everyone stood up and saluted, watching the eldest princess slowly leave her seat with the support of the maid. Without the eldest princess and King Qi and other princes, the ladies who want to show their talents again are in a much lighter mood.
Groups of three or five, groups of four or five, sit together and gossip.
"Why do I think this year's cherry blossom viewing is going to be a little weird?"
"Don't talk nonsense, the eldest princess held it, where can it be blamed? Be careful to be heard by someone with a heart, spread to the ears of the eldest princess, and cure you of a great crime of disrespect! ”
"Oh."
"Princess Qi is such a toss today, when she returns to the palace, she will definitely be counted down by King Qi."
"It's good to count! It's best to get rid of her, so that we don't have a chance to enter the Qi Palace!" ”
"Don't think about what you don't have, King Qi is good, but the fiery eyes he looked at the goddess just now, didn't you see it? If you really want to let you enter the Qi Palace, maybe what awaits you is the companionship of a lonely lamp every night. ”
"I'm dead!" The woman heard the words of her companion and said with a shyness in her voice.
"Do you dare to think that you are afraid of me? It's boring! ”
Ling Yuyan was far away from this group of ladies and didn't hear it.
Once it gets into her ear, she may vomit half to death.
"Sister Shuang'er, Ling'er knows a beautiful place, do you and Brother Mo want to go and see it?" The county lord of Qingyang clenched Ling Wushuang's hand and raised his head and asked.
Ling Wushuang smiled and bowed his head and said, "Listen to you, let's go." ”
"Sister Ling'er, how far do we have to go?" The silly king was afraid that his own lady would be tired, so he blinked his eyes like a star and looked at the county lord of Qingyang with a happy face.
The county lord of Qingyang tilted his head and thought about it, pursed his lips, and said, "It's not far away, it's coming soon." Brother Mo, are you tired? ”
The silly king shook his head and said, "Momo is afraid that the lady will be tired, the lady will be tired, and Momo will be unhappy." Ling Wushuang laughed again and again in his heart, this stupid big man would hurt people, and said with a smile: "I'm not tired, let's walk over slowly." ”
After walking for less than half an hour, Ling Wushuang was shocked by the flawless sea of white jade cherry blossoms in front of him!
The white petals, dancing in the wind, are like falling snowflakes, with a faint fragrance, which makes people feel happy.
"It's beautiful!" Ling Wushuang smiled at the corner of his lips and praised sincerely.
The Silly King pulled out his hand and ran under the cherry blossom tree, "Lady, come quickly!" Momo is here! The county lord of Qingyang smiled playfully at Ling Wushuang and said, "Sister Shuang'er, Ling'er wants to chase Brother Mo!" As he spoke, the corners of the goose-yellow skirt, like a flying butterfly, left Ling Wushuang's side.
Walking under the cherry blossom trees, Ling Wushuang's mood was more comfortable than ever. The petals of the flowers, like a light white veil flying overhead, are dreamlike and very charming.
"Lady, come and chase Momo! Otherwise, Momo will disappear! Without waiting for his wife to chase after him, the foolish king stopped running, turned around, bent his crescent-like eyes, and called Ling Wushuang again.
The corners of Ling Wushuang's mouth chuckled, "um", with a tap on her toes, a fiery red shadow floated towards the position of the Fool King, and when she was in love, she took out her Mingyue flute and put it to her lips to play, and the whole person slowly fell in front of the Fool King and the Lord of Qingyang.
The cheerful sound of the flute and the petals flying in the sky only surrounded the three of them.
The woman's silver bell-like laughter and the man's innocent laughter sounded immediately after. The county lord of Qingyang and the foolish king squatted on the blanket made of petals, holding the petals with both hands, raising their heads, and throwing them wantonly into the air, Ling Wushuang's eyes were smiling, and the flute sound played in his lips became more agile and cheerful.
"Ling'er hasn't been so happy for a long time!" The eldest princess, supported by the maid, stood outside the cherry blossom forest, looking at Ling Wushuang and the three of them for a long time. The maid replied respectfully: "The county lord looks very fond of Princess Lu and Prince Lu!" ”
The eldest princess had a kind smile on the corner of her lips, bowed her head lightly, and said, "Yes, it is rare for Ling'er to have someone she likes." "The young masters and ladies of the Rongguo Mansion often come to Mingcui Courtyard to play, but her Ling'er just doesn't like it, and when she sees someone, she will only purse her mouth quietly and hide behind her.
Since I heard that the white bird held flowers that day, congratulating King Lu and Princess Lu on the grand spectacle of the wedding. Her Ling'er was like a demon, and she fell in love with Princess Lu and King Lu, who had never met once, and she wanted to see them.
Is the beauty in front of you fate? The eldest princess had a smile in her eyes and couldn't help but think of it.
"Hello aunt!" The Qi Wang brothers bowed their hands to the eldest princess and said.
The eldest princess bowed her head lightly and said with a light smile: "The flowers here are blooming so well. Yu Ling Wushuang's beautiful and cheerful Xiao Yin, the eldest princess didn't say it, she knew that people with ears could hear it, and if she didn't say it, she had her considerations.
As a person who came over, she took in the various lights cast by the King of Qi and the others on the enchanting and extraordinary woman in red clothes at the flower viewing party.
(The first watch is coming, and the second watch is later!) )
