Chapter 5
The courtyard has opened up a corner, hung full of poems and ink treasures, this is the trick often played by the young ladies in the boudoir in the capital, in daily life, the boudoir ladies are difficult to go out, and only rely on these banquets such as flower viewing parties, leaving some poems and ink treasures, winning a false name!
I looked at it one by one, mostly poems of sad autumn scenery, nothing too outstanding, but the handwriting was beautiful and lovely, I looked at it casually, and suddenly heard a slightly cold voice in my ears: "I have heard that Miss Su is talented, I don't know if I can leave Mobao, and let us observe one or two." ”
I followed the prestige, and there was a cluster of flowers behind me, and several wealthy daughters were standing there, which was really a piece of jewelry, and the golden light was shining. I was dazzled by the light, and I put my hand on my forehead to finally make out the face in front of me. It turned out to be Wei Jinyao and a few Houmen ladies in Beijing, who were looking at themselves with a smug face, my heart sank, it can be seen that the events of the day, Wei Jinyao completely hated me, and at this time she was still thinking about causing some trouble, waiting for me to make a fool of myself. I didn't want to meet them in general, so I smiled: "Miss Wei said that I laughed, I have never had poetry and ink treasure wandering outside, let alone any talent, so I won't be ugly!" ”
As he spoke, I was about to leave, but I didn't expect that Wei Jinyao suddenly walked in front of me, blocking my way, and didn't speak, but her face was full of arrogance. I smiled coldly, I didn't want to make trouble, but I didn't expect to be bullied in front of me, just think about it, I knew that I couldn't hide, it was better to just plug their mouths, and I didn't stop again and again.
"Isn't it an exaggeration?! The Su family has been scholarly for generations, and the long halberd is high, but it is nothing more than that! "Next to Wei Jinyao, a woman in a purple shirt stepped out slowly, seeing that her makeup must be a wealthy nobleman, she has never met me, but she can speak so viciously, and she must have a great friendship with Wei Jinyao.
I didn't care, my eyes swept over her lightly, and I looked at Wei Jinyao with a smile, her face was not good, and she didn't want to be reluctant, even so, I didn't need to show mercy, I walked to the desk, twisted a brush at random, and wrote: "The willow leaves are green and dark, and the lotus sunset is red." Thirty-six spring waters, day and night want to see Jiangnan. ”
I don't know when, there were people standing behind me, and as soon as I put down my pen, I heard endless cheers, I couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and thought to myself, Wang Anshi's poems are not comparable to you boudoir women, you have to take your own humiliation, and I don't need to save any face for you!
Sure enough, Wei Jinyao's face was pale and ugly, she stared at the handwriting on the desk, and said angrily: "This is definitely not what you wrote!" Someone must have done it for you! ”
I had no fear, I was no longer polite at the moment, pretended to smile helplessly, and said, "Otherwise, Miss Wei will make another one!" ”
She was annoyed and angry, looked around, casually pointed to a bunch of begonias next to her and said, "Take this begonia as the theme!" ”
I smiled, secretly glad that I had read the poems all over the place, and my memory was not bad, and I wrote: "Mo Dao's color is like Wodan, and Mo Dao's fragrance is more than Orchid." The east wind blows and blows down, who will see tomorrow for today. ”
"Miss Su is really talented, which really makes this palace admire!"
As soon as Fang put down his pen, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard, and I looked back, behind me, Princess Luoxi and the prince of Xingze slowly stepped forward surrounded by a group of palace people.
She stopped in front of me, glanced at Wei Jinyao deeply, and then looked back at me, smiled lightly, and said: "I have long heard that Miss Su has outstanding writing, but I didn't expect that it is better to be famous than to meet, and her demeanor and appearance are even better, no wonder the queen mother is talking all day long, which really makes the palace happy." ”
Hearing this, Wei Jinyao's originally pale face became more and more ugly, and she glanced at the woman beside her, with a trace of anger on her face, but she didn't dare to say more, and quietly retreated after kneeling.
"It really makes Miss Su laugh, these daughters of the Houmen, who have a good family background, come out to show off after learning two lines of poetry, but they have wronged Miss." Princess Luo Xi said apologetically.
"Why did the princess say this, it was just the careful thinking of the daughter's family, but it disturbed the princess's interest." I smiled lightly, and said a few words of persuasion without saying more.
Seeing that I didn't pursue it, her expression was more satisfied, and her words were more soft, I was a little curious about her intentions, and suddenly saw the prince next to her to vaguely guess a few points, and then saw his thoughtful eyes on the side, so he was more sure of his thoughts, and didn't dare to hesitate any longer, chatted with her casually, and took advantage of someone to come to say goodbye, so he found an opportunity to retire.
With this little episode, no one dared to disturb my tranquility, and I strolled through the garden, looking for a less crowded path, faintly expecting to meet the man in the moon-white robe. Unconsciously, walking more and more remotely, a gust of wind blew, faintly the sound of a flute came, my heart moved, a trace of surprise floated, looking around, I saw under the willow tree, a man in a light purple robe stood indifferently.
Hearing my footsteps, the man turned his head in surprise, and under the sun, his clear face was shrouded in a faint light, revealing a trace of loneliness, looking at me quietly.
Just one glance, I knew that this person's identity was extraordinary, I was just attracted by the sound of the flute, but I didn't expect that it was not the person I wanted to see, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed in my heart, so I owed a slight debt, and said softly: "I wandered around casually, I didn't want to break in, I don't want to disturb Your Excellency, I'm really sorry." ”
The man seemed to be stunned, his eyes were dazed for a moment, but he was relieved in an instant, hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "It's okay! I was just wandering around, but I didn't expect to come here. ”
The sun spread on his body, covering a layer of golden light, I know that at this time, I should leave immediately, after all, the two of us are different from men and women, and meeting in such a hidden place will inevitably provoke right and wrong, not to mention that Wei Jinyao has been staring at me.
I bowed slightly and said, "Farewell!" Then, without waiting for him to speak, I turned around lightly and was about to leave.
"Please stay!"
The raised leg sudden, and I stood in the distance, silently turning my head. He walked slowly from the bluestone slab, and the breeze blew the hem of his clothes.
"Is there something wrong?" I spoke lightly.
But he was silent, just standing in front of me, and I looked up at him, but I saw only the silence of a pool in his eyes. For a moment I couldn't make up my mind, so I could only be silent, letting the breeze pass through the leaves, leaving only a rustling sound.
"Luoxi Palace is huge, and there are many paths in the garden, if you want to go out, remember to choose the wider road at each intersection."
I was slightly stunned, and instantly realized that the road in the garden was specially designed, and the way I came seemed to be inadvertent, but in fact it was an involuntary choice made in my consciousness.
"Thank you." I nodded, and I owed him a debt, but he didn't stop him, and when I turned around, I could vaguely see a smile in his eyes.
I silently walked far away before I realized that I didn't even ask his identity, and then I thought that even if I did, would he tell me?! I walked silently, just as I was crashing into a man.
I took a step back with my head in hand, but he grabbed me. When I looked up, it was Haoxi.
"Why are you in such a trance, you didn't see me when I came so far away! Can it hurt? He complained, but he was looking to see if I was hurt.
"It's fine!" I pulled down his hand that was on my arm, and with so many people present, it was inevitable that he would be talked about for being so close.
Only then did he realize that something was wrong, withdrew his hand, and asked with a cold face, "I heard that Wei Jinyao was difficult for you just now?" ”
I was stunned, and I was interrupted by the man just now, I forgot about it, and said with a smile: "What's the matter!" It's just a poem! ”
His face was full of an expression of hatred: "Your temperament is too soft, you are bullied like this, and you don't know it, if you don't take this breath, you still think that our Zhaohua Palace is easy to bully!" “
I burst out laughing and pulled him along: "You are a man, why are you getting more and more childish!" ”
"That is, you don't care about anything!" He was indignant.
I didn't dare to provoke him, so I changed the topic with a smile: "Why did you run out, didn't you want to accompany that prince of Xingze?" ”
"What does he have to keep him company!" He pouted disapprovingly.
I looked at him puzzled, and he reluctantly explained: "It's just an inconspicuous prince!" You still need to be accompanied by this king! ”
I knew that he regarded himself as a prince and had always been a little arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be so arrogant: "An inconspicuous prince? No matter what, he is also the son of the emperor and the princess, and this identity is also a strong contender for the throne, maybe when he will be the king of a country. ”
He saw me angrily putting on a preachy face, but laughed out loud: "Xingze attaches the most importance to blood, because of the remote location, he has always been weak over the years, and he has to bow to us, so he will be close to him to keep safe." But no matter what, these princes with foreign blood will not be allowed to ascend the throne! ”
I nodded thoughtfully: "I see, doesn't this mean that marrying a princess in the past means staying away from the political center!" Then who wants to marry it! ”
"Yes! If it is not a last resort, who wants to marry to other countries, they all say that the prince and princess are golden branches and jade leaves, who knows, how can the children of the royal family be so good, and the princess also has her own mission that she has to shoulder, these years, I don't know how many princesses have been married, how can Aunt Luo Xi have such a good life and can marry her uncle! I don't know which sorrow moved him, he rarely had the patience to explain carefully: "My uncle's family is a military family, inheriting the first-class lordship, and is deeply relied on by my father, my uncle is the eldest son, guarding Gyeonggi, leading 250,000 troops, this is an errand that many people are jealous of, my aunt married in the past, and she was able to marry her aunt, and her uncle's status in the family is also more prominent. ”
"There are so many people guarding the capital, are they all under his command? That's really trusted! "I was a little surprised, I didn't expect that the 250,000 defenders of the capital were all under his command, if there was a different intention, wouldn't the country change hands in an instant.
