Chapter 140: Trapped in the Chen Mansion
After three rounds of drinking, the show begins. Chen Lu ordered someone to slowly push a screen up, and Dou Yifang and Chu Hongsleeve hid behind this screen. They were surrounded by a screen, and the guests were not visible, and they were all curious about the people inside.
However, Dou Yifang can observe the people present through the gap in the screen, if Liu Heng is there, such as sitting on the main seat. But what she saw was Chen Jingxuan. In other words, Liu Heng did not come.
Dou Yifang was extremely disappointed, and it wasn't until Chu Hongsleeve next to her pushed her that she didn't know that she was going to start playing. However, the situation was born from the heart, and the upset Dou Yifang played the piano greatly discounted.
Chen Jingxuan, who was listening to the piano, was expressionless, but there was disappointment in his eyes, and Chen Lu on the side also felt uneasy, which was much worse than what he heard last time in the Drunken Red Mansion. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Red Sleeves was playing the piano?
"Lu'er ......" Chen Jingxuan said to Chen Lu, "Withdraw!" ”
Chen Lu nodded helplessly.
Chu Hongsleeve was not very disappointed, she thought that Zhong Muyin was deliberately playing like this, so that she would not have a chance to enter the Chen Mansion, and she was secretly happy in her heart.
"Wait!" Queen Chen said suddenly.
Chen Jingxuan and Chen Lu stole puzzled glances at her, only to hear her say, "Remove the screen!" ”
Chen Lu was the most nervous, and frequently gestured to Queen Chen's eyes, asking her what she was doing? Do you want to embarrass Chu Hongsleeve?
Queen Chen ignored him, and when she saw that the subordinates did not move, she said it with majesty, and the subordinates immediately did so.
Soon, the screen was torn off, and I saw two people inside. Dou Yifang sat quietly, and Chu Hongsleeve stood behind her uneasily.
Chen Jingxuan had never seen Chu Hongsleeve, so he didn't recognize it, and he was curious why his daughter did this. But many of the other guests were Chu Hongsleeve's guests, so there was a playful smile in their eyes.
Queen Chen looked at Dou Yifang carefully, imagining putting down her tied hair, that's right, she is Dou Yifang!
Why is Dou Yifang in Chen's Mansion? Queen Chen didn't think about it first, she only knew that she was killing herself.
"Dou Liangren came to celebrate my father's birthday, what a heart!!" Queen Chen smiled triumphantly.
Dou Liangren's three words made everyone present stunned, they looked at the main hall, but they didn't see Dou Yifang, and thought that there was something wrong with their eyes.
Chen Lu looked at Queen Chen, and then followed her gaze to see Zhong Muyin, with the concept of Dou Liangren, he finally found out that Zhong Muyin was a woman.
Chen Lu couldn't wait to let people take Dou Yi's room immediately, but Queen Chen spoke first, and said with a smile: "My sister can come to celebrate my father's birthday, it's really painstaking, come here, please ask Dou Liangren to sit in the cabinet for a while." ”
Chen Jingxuan was very pleased that Queen Chen could adapt to the situation, of course, he was as eager to kill Dou Yifang as Chen Lu, but in front of such many guests, they couldn't do anything out of the ordinary and give people a handle.
The Chen family's scruples, Dou Yifang is also very clear, so she will not leave this hall easily. Two maids had already come to her side and asked her to come down.
But Dou Yifang ignored it, got up and saluted Chen Jingxuan, "Since Yifang is here, of course you have to give the old man a glass of wine......
Dou Yifang said that he wanted to toast, but the Chen family didn't dare not give it, after all, the guests were watching. Queen Chen motioned to the maid beside her to give Dou Yifang a glass of wine, Dou Yifang took it in her hand, and said to Chen Jingxuan: "I wish the old man happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”
Chen Jingxuan also poured a glass of wine, "Thank you for your kindness." With that, the two drank together.
Queen Chen said with a smile: "Why did my sister suddenly come to my house? ”
"Didn't the king summon me back, I heard that it was Master Chen's birthday, and I was thinking about why I had to come over to celebrate my birthday. I didn't have an invitation, so I had to pretend to be like this and sneak in. Uninvited, Master Chen won't blame, right? ”
"Dou Liangren can come to the cold house, Chen is so honored, how can he blame." Chen Jingxuan said against his will.
"Since my sister is here, how about I take you around?"
"I've seen it today, so I won't bother my sister......"
Queen Chen sensed that Dou Yifang had already seen through her intentions, so she would definitely do everything possible to stay here. Because there are guests present, and they can't be rude, how to let Dou Yifang leave? Soon, she thought of words again.
"My sister can come to celebrate my father's birthday, and I am very grateful. But the king misses his sister very much, and her sister should enter the palace as soon as possible. I'm going to let people get a car and send my sister to the palace. ”
"Sister Xie is kind, but since Yifang is here, he should also give the old man a birthday gift. But now I have nothing around me, only this banana leaf guqin, I heard that the old man likes music, Yifang is not talented, so I want to send a song about the qin!! ”
Queen Chen knew that she was deliberately delaying time, and when she was about to refuse, she saw that Dou Yifang had already sat down and closed her eyes. She placed her fingers flat on the strings and danced gently, outlining syllables to form a melodious tune.
At this moment, at the moment when her life was at stake, Dou Yifang didn't dare to be careless, so she played very seriously, and the sound of the piano was extremely beautiful. Even Chen Jingxuan, who wanted to open Dou Yi's room, listened carefully at this time. The other guests were also immersed.
Queen Chen was anxious, but she was helpless, she couldn't interrupt Dou Yifang's piano and stir up the guests' interest!! Anyway, this piano always has to be finished, so I just have to wait a little longer.
Dou Yifang played this song, the tune is soothing, gentle, just like a breeze blowing through the trees, the stream flowing thinly, and the dragonfly gently rippling on the water.
Smelling only the heart is relaxed, relaxed, just like lying quietly on a bamboo raft, drifting with the current.
Half a pillar of incense has passed, Dou Yifang's piano is not over, and the audience is not tired of it. Queen Chen was already anxious, and she deliberately knocked over the cup on the table, causing the cup to fall to the ground and make a sound.
Everyone who was immersed in the sound of the piano seemed to have woken up from a sweet dream, and their eyes couldn't help but look at Queen Chen.
The dream woke up, and it was difficult to come back, so the sound of the piano came to an abrupt end.
"Sister, can you go?" Queen Chen said with a smile.
Dou Yifang has no reason to continue to stay, even if she can stay, the dinner party will eventually disperse, and at that time, she will also be in trouble.
Dou Yifang slowly stood up, bowed slightly to Master Chen, and then turned around and walked towards the door. Queen Chen looked at her brother with a wicked smile on her face. Chen Lu understood and quietly retreated.
Dou Yifang really couldn't think of a way, but she didn't panic at all, maybe this time, she would never have a chance to apologize to Chu Hongsleeve, so when she went out, she said "I'm sorry" to Chu Hongsleeve.
Knowing that Zhong Muyin was a woman, Chu Hongsleeve was very heartbroken, but Dou Yifang's apology moved her very much, so she decided to leave with Dou Yifang. I hope that with her present, Chen Lu can open up the net.
But Dou Yifang rejected her kindness, because she didn't want the innocent Chen Hongxiu to get involved, and there was no room for alleviation in the grievances between her and the Chen family.
Chu Hongsleeve stood in front of the door, watching Dou Yifang walk towards the sedan chair, with a little sadness in his eyes.
At this moment, a "King has arrived" stunned Dou Yifang and Queen Chen.
When Queen Chen left the palace, she asked Liu Heng if she would go to celebrate her birthday, Liu Heng only said that she couldn't get out of her body and asked her to celebrate her birthday on her behalf, why did she suddenly come here at this time?
Dou Yifang came back to his senses, and his eyes were moist unconsciously.
The people in Jinhua Xuan also heard it, and they all poured out. Everyone knelt down in unison and saw in unison, but Dou Yifang was still stunned in place, which made Liu Heng immediately notice her.
"Bold, why don't you salute when you see the king?" Wanquan scolded.
Liu Heng stared at Dou Yifang, as if he was about to recognize her, and at this time, Dou Yifang knelt down, "The concubine is the king." ”
Hearing the voice, Liu Heng recognized Dou Yifang.
"Why are you here?" He didn't seem surprised at all.
"It's a long story, does the king want me to say it now?"
Dou Yifang's words shocked the Chen family, especially Chen Lu. Cold sweat had broken out on his forehead, because he had sent someone to intercept and kill Dou Yifang, and now that Dou Yifang had returned to the capital safely, he just begged that there was no handle in Dou Yifang's hands.
Liu Heng looked around at everyone, and saw Dou Yifang dressed as a man, and knew that the reason for this was not clear at once, and today was Chen Jingxuan's birthday, and he was in the Chen family, so it was better not to have any more troubles!!
So he made everyone even, today is here to celebrate his birthday, and the matter of Dou Yifang will be talked about when he returns to the palace.
Chen Jingxuan and Queen Chen forced a smile and invited Liu Heng to sit inside. Liu Heng didn't say much, left a few boxes of birthday gifts, toasted a glass of birthday wine, and drove back to the palace.
Queen Chen was worried that Dou Yifang would chew the root of her tongue at Liu Heng, so she also said goodbye to her father and went back. If there is an accident in the palace, she can also notify the Chen family in time.
Chen Jingxuan and a guest sent Liu Heng and others to the door, and then returned to Jinhuaxuan, although the banquet continued, but everyone saw that the old man was preoccupied and happy, so he left early.
Chen Lu ordered someone to bring Chu Hongsleeve into the hall, glared angrily, and asked, "How can Dou Yifang be with you?" ”
Chu Hongsleeve was wronged and said aggrievedly: "The slave family doesn't know that she is Dou Liangren." ”
Chen Lu knew that Chu Hongsleeve would not lie to him, and suddenly remembered that there was a piano boy beside Dou Yifang, so he asked where that person was.
Chu Hongsleeve only said that he should still be in the Drunken Red Mansion, so Chen Lu immediately sent someone to the Drunken Red Mansion to get people, but he went to pounce. Jiang Yanxiang followed Dou Yifang's instructions and left the Drunken Red Mansion a long time ago.
Chen Lu listened to the reply of his subordinates, and saw that the cooked duck had flown away, and he was angry. The old man said that he was too impetuous, which made him think more about Queen Chen's study and become more calm, and at the same time sighed: "This Dou Yifang, don't underestimate her, she is not simple." ”
Queen Chen was very curious, Liu Heng obviously said that he would not go to celebrate his birthday because he was entangled in government affairs, why did he suddenly come again?
Later, when he asked Liu Heng, he said that the concubine asked him to go. The concubine said that Chen Jingxuan was also a veteran minister, and he had made significant contributions to the country, and he had to celebrate his birthday no matter what. When Queen Chen heard this, she was very relieved.
