Chapter 22: Wolf Ambition
Ah Yue saw this scene and snickered beside him, but saw that Shao Yifei had already stared at him, his expression was a little incomprehensible, as if he had seen her identity as a woman, she lowered her head, hoping that Shao Yifei would not see her expression.
Wen Yingqian thought hatefully: "Okay, you Huachen, you dare to trick me!" I won't let you go!" But thinking that there are so many people here, and remembering that this is his birthday, he has to force a smile, and this matter can only be stopped.
And everyone also offered gifts, the queen because the little prince had smallpox to take care of him and couldn't leave, specially sneaked people from the palace to bring gold and jade jewelry, Wen Yingqian, who was accustomed to gold and silver jewelry, saw the queen's well-designed unique gold and jade jewelry sent by the queen and still brightened, and couldn't put it down.
She immediately put it on her hand, the child shook angrily, and smiled at her father: "Father, look at it, is it good?" ”
Her father scratched her nose dotingly, saying that it looks good, and my Qianqian looks good in everything.
And Wen Yingqian looked happy, forgetting the embarrassment just now.
Ah Yue on the side was naturally very envious, but he was also a little lonely. She had never been so coquettish in front of her father.
During the banquet, King Rong's words disrupted the conversation between the father and daughter.
I only heard King Rong say to Shao Yifei: "I have heard that the wolf king is the leader of the wolf pack, with sharper eyes, sharper claws, and more ferocious teeth than ordinary wolves. And I heard that you captured a wolf king and made a coat out of its skin, so it's better to see it than to see it, so let's show you what the fur of the legendary wolf king looks like! ”
"Yes! We want to see it too! King Ning and Little Marquis said.
And Shao Yifei then ordered someone to present it, and said with some flattery: "King Yurong, the wolf king's eyes are sharp, and he has the demeanor of a ruler!" And even its fur is outstanding! It's not like a normal wolf! ”
King Rong touched the wolf king's hair, with a hint of envy in his eyes: "Sure enough, the luster of this wolf king's fur is soft and smooth, and it is superior!" ”
"If you like! I'll give it to you" Shao Yifei deliberately set up a set, but he didn't expect King Rong to be overjoyed: "If that's the case, then it's the best!" Biyun, put it on for me! He was a little fond of his majestic drape, and joked, "You see, I don't look like a wolf!" ”
Everyone echoed: "Like! This coat fits your identity perfectly! ”
And King Rong was not modest, and said eloquently: "This is indeed worthy of my identity, once I fought against the Huns, resisted the rebel army, Dingfengyang County, rebelled against thieves in the Ping Dynasty, and later tutored the emperor as a regent, there is no merit and hard work, I dare to say that there is no minister in the court who has my current position......"
And King Ning smiled bitterly: "It's good to have talent, but you can't be too ambitious, if it's a wolf, it's not a good thing to have ambition!" ”
He turned a deaf ear, and he just wanted to blatantly show his arrogance in front of everyone, after that, he slowly took off his clothes, and said with a smile: "I accepted this clothes, thank you Brother Shaoxian!" So he handed it to Biyun, and Biyun ordered the maid to take it.
Ah Yue thought to himself, he had heard others say that King Rong of the court was not a simple person, but when he saw it today, he really felt that his speech and demeanor were full of arrogance, and he was a very city person, and the courage and oppression exuded by his body made Ah Yue feel chilled.
However, this group of people who are accustomed to seeing big scenes are naturally in danger, although everyone is laughing, but the laughter is very fake. Although King Ning's words just now were a bit tense, everyone was still talking and laughing later.
And Prime Minister Wen's purpose is actually to take advantage of Wen Yingqian's twentieth birthday opportunity to invite these people to consolidate their position in their careers, this group of people is powerful after all, but they didn't expect King Rong to almost expose his wolf ambitions, in fact, everyone didn't say it on the surface, but they knew it in their hearts.
And Prime Minister Wen diverted the topic, toasted everyone, and paused, staggered, smiling, so lively!
In the evening, it was time for Wen Yingqian to arrange singing and dancing.
At this moment, Wen Yingqian saluted everyone, with a charming smile on her face: "The little girl is going to be ugly."
Everyone applauded.
She danced in front of everyone very generously, wearing a red dance dress to set off her delicate figure, and all kinds of eye-catching dance skills amazed everyone.
After the dance, she bowed.
Xiao Hou Ye smiled during the banquet: "Okay! Good! That's nice! Sister Yingqian's dancing skills are also getting better and better!"
Everyone applauded.
"General Shao must be very happy to be accompanied by a beautiful woman. Today is Sister Wen's birthday, General Shao might as well kiss her to comfort and comfort her daytime displeasure. "The prince of the county proposed.
Everyone said yes, so in everyone's eyes, General Shao kissed Wen Yingqian's cheek. Wen Yingqian looked very sweet.
"When are you two getting married?" Xiao Hou Ye joked.
Shao Yifei smiled slightly: "It won't be long."
"We can't wait to drink your wine." Xiao Hou Ye joked, and looked at Wen Yingqian again, "Do you still let her go?" Why don't you dance again! Xiao Hou Ye proposed again, "That's right! The prince of the county also proposed.
"However, Sister Zhuohua also has a preparation program." Wen Yingqian looked at Mrs. Zhuohua and said with a smile: "Sister Biyun is proficient in music theory, why don't you let Sister Biyun play a song for us."
Mrs. Zhuohua smiled politely during the banquet: "Yes, but it's too boring to just listen to music, you might as well ask Sister Yingqian to dance." Everyone was attracted by her peerless elegance, and Xiao Hou Ye also sat down in the banquet, looking forward to the next performance.
"That's nature." Wen Yingqian said with a smile.
Everyone is looking forward to the next performance.
Bai Yuhan also had some expectations.
In fact, Mrs. Zhuohua also prepared for Yingqian's birthday, and came with her and King Rong, as well as the musicians in her house.
With the high-fives of Mrs. Zhuohua, there were eight musicians, the leading one, wearing a silver foil mask, but it was difficult to hide his own handsome temperament, he held a piano, the other seven, also held their own musical instruments, Mrs. Zhuohua introduced: "Musical instruments, since the beginning of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, have been divided into eight tones, respectively, divided into "gold, stone, earth, leather, silk, wood, bamboo, eight categories, gold refers to the bell here, soil refers to the Xun here, leather is the drum here, silk refers to the qin, se, erhu, pipa, etc., and here is the qin, Kuang refers to the sheng here, and the bamboo is the flute, flute, etc., and here is Xiao. ”
Madame introduced the instruments in the hands of the musicians one by one.
Madame Zhuohua took the piano in the hands of the luthier wearing a silver foil mask and wanted to play a tune herself, which she had arranged. The word is Wen Tingyun's "New Sound of Willow Branches".
A foot of crimson is better than dust, and the old is not as good as the new. Hehuan peach pit is hateful in the end, and there is no one else in Xu Yuanlai. The bottom of the well is lit with deep candles, and the Gonglang is a long line of Mo Go. Exquisite dice An red beans, into the bone lovesickness does not know.
The other musicians also cooperated very well, accompanied by the beautiful melody played by the instruments, Mrs. Zhuohua couldn't help but sing the lyrics, which attracted everyone's applause, Wen Yingqian also threw off her sleeves and danced in front of everyone
After a while, the tune ended and the dance stopped.
Everyone was not satisfied, and asked the group of musicians to play a few songs, and then played a few more tunes, before they gave up, the pianist led by the silver foil mask and the other seven musicians just wanted to retreat, but they didn't expect Xiao Houye to start making trouble: "Didn't you find out? Only the luthier wearing a mask? Why, I can't see it~" Before the words could be spoken, he suddenly lost his temper: "What's wrong?" Pouring wine doesn't have long eyes? ”
It turned out that Bai Yuhan deliberately poured wine on the little marquis in order to help the person wearing the silver foil mask, because she saw that the figure of the person wearing the silver foil mask was a bit similar to the willow painter, but she knew that this was not the willow painter, because the willow painter would not appear in Mrs. Zhuohua's mansion, because the willow painter did not know Mrs. Zhuohua, and suddenly remembered Liu Yanxi, and couldn't help but feel sad, he didn't know how he was doing? The little Hou Ye was angry, Bai Yuhan hurriedly knelt down, bowed his knees and said: "Hou Ye atoned for his sins~"
"Forget it, he didn't mean it." Shao Yifei helped her out.
At this time, Mrs. Zhuohua had already ordered the musicians to retreat, and the pianist naturally did not take off the mask, Bai Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief, because she thought that he must have an unspeakable addiction to wearing a mask, and it must be very difficult to take it off in front of everyone.
Xiao Hou Ye was unwilling to let his game end like this, and he made trouble for the second time.
I saw him fiddling with the chopstick, and said a little carelessly: "King Rong is really sloppy, there is such a beautiful woman in the family who actually left her alone, and she was mixed with a group of musicians, not afraid of being gossiped." His words were very sharp, and everyone present was a little surprised, I am afraid that the only one who can ask such a question is the little Hou Ye who is disrespectful.
King Rong's face changed suddenly, and he was about to get angry, but Lady Zhuohua shook her head and motioned for him not to be angry.
"I train this group of musicians, but because of my own preference for music, Rongwangfu has always had rules, how dare I transgress half a point, and there is nothing to gossip about, but those who are not pure-minded always try to speak quickly and gossip about others." Mrs. Zhuohua responded unhurriedly, making Bai Yuhan can't help but admire her unique aura.
"Let's drink. I'll start with a toast. Shao Yifei hurriedly came forward to solve the siege and drank it all in front of everyone.
"Yes, let's drink, and I'll toast you too." Wen Yingqian wanted to end this embarrassing atmosphere quickly, so she came forward to pour herself a glass of wine and toasted everyone.
So everyone drank wine during the banquet, and for a while, they staggered, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and everyone was so unhappy!
However, King Rong's expression was a little displeased, Bai Yuhan saw that Mrs. Zhuohua's face turned crimson after drinking some wine, and her appearance became more and more moving, so King Rong said to everyone: "I still have some official business to deal with in my house, Bi'er and I have retired first, you drink slowly." "
So King Rong took Mrs. Zhuohua to retire first.
After a while, Ning Xiangyu and Xiao Yan also said goodbye, he had to rush to Chizhou overnight to do business, in fact, he came to Wen Yingqian's mansion to celebrate Wen Yingqian's birthday, and secondly, to see Mrs. Zhuohua.
