Why are you so anxious?
Chapter 75
In the blink of an eye, it was the day after tomorrow, when Muxiu was in court and the Imperial College was closed.
Early in the morning, Jun Shaoyou and Zhuang Lin first went to the martial arts field for morning exercises, then had a simple breakfast, dressed neatly and went to the palace for a banquet.
As usual, please hand over the Announcement to the Tai Chi Palace first.Emperor Yongqian hadn't seen his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law for more than a month, so naturally he asked questions enthusiastically.In less than three or five sentences, Wei Jingzhong outside passed the rumor that the second prince handed over a sign saying hello.Emperor Yongqian said with a smile.After a while, Zhuang Zhou, who was wearing a crimson court dress, hurried in.
After bowing and prostrating, Zhuang Zhou got up and stood still.Seeing Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou standing side by side in front of them, a look of complexity flashed in his eyes.He nodded to the two of them and said with a smile: "I have seen the eldest brother, I have seen the elder sister-in-law."
Zhuang Lin and Zhuang Lin were right with each other with gentle smiles.Zhuang Zhou smiled calmly and said: "Brother and sister-in-law of the great emperor are really deeply in love with each other, and they are not willing to part for a moment. Even when they enter the palace to meet His Majesty, they have to go hand in hand. Such a tacit understanding of going in and going out together is really true. Envious of others."
Zhuang Lin smiled slightly, and said, "Second Emperor Brother is also very lucky. I heard that you got another beautiful concubine recently. My brother is here to congratulate you first."
Zhuang Zhou hooked the corners of his mouth disapprovingly, and said, "It's just a vulgar fan. How can it be compared to the amazing talent of the eldest sister-in-law, who crowns Jinghua. I heard that the eldest sister-in-law has done something recently. The book Yayuan comes out for the students who come to Beijing to take the exam to read, read, and discuss knowledge. Nowadays, who doesn't praise the forgiveness and charity of the great emperor's wife? My concubine is only worthy of serving people with tea and water. Brother Dahuang is the one who has the deepest blessing."
Speaking of the latter, the tone is inevitably a little sour.It's just because Zhuang Zhou united with a group of famous families to create a Jixianzhai with money and effort.I originally wanted to use this as a basis to establish some clear reputation, but who knew that Jun Shaoyou's book elegant garden came out before there was much movement.For a time, scholars in Beijing and China only knew about Shu Ya Yuan but not about Ji Xian Zhai.Zhuang Zhou only felt that his limelight had been robbed by Jun Shaoyou.How can Zhuang Zhou not be angry that even his most proud base camp has been poached?
It's just that he hid alone, even if his lungs exploded, no one paid attention to him.So the most urgent thing is to find a way to break the plan of Zhuang Lin and his wife.
While Zhuang Zhou was speaking, he observed the expression of Emperor Yongqian calmly.Seeing that Emperor Yongqian always had a calm, loving and generous appearance, he felt a little disappointed in his heart.
Seeing that Zhuang Zhou's intentions were so obvious, Jun Shaoyou smiled and said, "This is all the favor of His Majesty. If His Majesty hadn't opened the golden mouth, how could I have won the Jinshi of Jinbang High School in recent years?" The test papers are used as model essays, let alone the calligraphy articles of previous examiners for those poor students to study. In the final analysis, it is His Majesty’s charity and forgiveness, and he is willing to give those poor students a chance to learn. If you compare Shu Yayuan to An academy, His Majesty is the dean of this academy. These poor students rely on His Majesty's grace to read these articles and calligraphy. Naturally, they are all disciples of the Son of Heaven. But they are not talented, at most they can be regarded as the director of foreign affairs of the academy. Some miscellaneous matters in the academy allow students to study with peace of mind. If Enke and others are lucky enough to go to high school in the coming year, His Majesty will naturally be full of peaches and plums. Your Majesty's grace."
What he said was both humble and innovative, which made Yongqian Dilang laugh out loud. He silently recited "Student of the Son of Heaven" a few times in his heart, before reaching out his hand and pointing in Jun Shaoyou's direction, he said, "Your mouth, It's like applying honey, it's used to coaxing people."
Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, and said narrowly: "Your Majesty knows that what I say is all from the bottom of my heart. It's just that the truth has always been superficial, and it's not because of my intention."
This caused Emperor Yongqian to burst out laughing heartily again, with an undisguised self-satisfied expectation in his expression.Seeing this, Zhuang Zhou's heart sank slightly.Barely restraining his mind, he said with a smile: "Brother used to only know that the big emperor's elder brother was good at military affairs, and never liked these literary and ink idiots. I didn't expect to have someone like the big emperor's wife to help me today. The big emperor's brother is naturally Both civil and military are complete."
Zhuang Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, but smiled silently.
What Zhuang Zhou hates the most is Zhuang Lin's noble and unruly appearance, as if there is no other capable person in the imperial city except him.However, Emperor Yongqian liked his tone, even if Zhuang Zhou hated it so much, he had no choice but to do it.
And Zhuang Lin has always hated Zhuang Zhou's gentle and elegant appearance.In the previous life, Jun Shaoyou was confused by Zhuang Zhou's appearance, so he wholeheartedly helped Zhuang Zhou, a hypocrite, so that in the end his reputation was ruined and everyone betrayed his relatives.This matter has always made Zhuang Lin brooding.So in this life, Zhuang Lin hated Zhuang Zhou even more.
As the two adult princes got older, they showed an aura of incompatibility.Especially since the big marriage and the establishment of the mansion, after being able to gather forces, the confrontation between the two sides has become more obvious.If such a situation were placed in an ordinary family, even parents would have to worry about it day and night.It's a pity that in an environment like the royal family, a delicate balance has formed.
But more importantly, such a balance is what Emperor Yongqian, as an emperor, would like to see.
Everyone talked and laughed with evil intentions for a while, and Emperor Yongqian saw that it was about the same time, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat to the Jiaofang Hall to meet the empress.
At that time, Empress Yan was receiving a group of concubines who were paying their respects, as well as imperial wives from various meritorious marquis residences in Beijing.All the female relatives were led to enjoy the flowers and tea in the imperial garden, because they were afraid that the chatting of the female relatives would not attract the interest of the men.The Queen carefully arranged a juggling performance in the main hall to please the underage princes.
The three of Zhuang Lin came here hand in hand, first came to the queen to say hello and greetings, and then visited the concubine Chen and the other concubines.Yang Daimei led Jun Rouran to meet her, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Shaoyou's complexion is getting better."
Jun Rouran fell behind Yang Daimei and said with a joking smile: "It can be seen that the prince really loves Wu Lang. So Wu Lang's heart is relieved, and his complexion is naturally better."
After a pause, he said with a slightly sour smile: "In the past, the rumors in Beijing were all about how brave King Yong'an was and how he made great achievements in battle. Who would have thought that under the heroic spirit of the prince, he would be so tender and affectionate. .My fifth younger brother is truly a blessing from Baishixiu."
These words were too flattering and sour, everyone frowned slightly, thinking of how Jun Rouran loved Yong'an Wang Zhuanglin in the past.It's a pity that Luohua intends to be ruthless. The king of Yong'an would rather marry Jun Shaoyou, a barren concubine, as his concubine, and he would not take a second look at Jun Rouran, a concubine.
For a while, everyone whispered and whispered.Mrs. Li Guogong hid in the crowd, her face darkened with a little displeasure.Li Qingxu, the legitimate daughter of Duke Li, curled her lips in disdain, and turned her face to whisper a few words to Mrs. Li Guogong.I saw Mrs. Li Guogong's face became more and more gloomy.
Yang Dai's brows tightened, and she quickly reprimanded her: "I know you have always been friends with your brother, and I'm glad that your brother will be depended on for life. It's just that today's occasion is such a reason for you to talk nonsense and make fun of your brother."
When Jun Rouran heard the words, she blinked her eyes calmly.He leaned over and smiled and said: "It's all my fault. I always thought it was a wanton joking among my sisters and brothers at home, so I became abrupt. I hope the prince and younger brother don't take offense."
Zhuang Lin seemed to have never heard of it, and just lowered his head and whispered to Jun Shaoyou.Jun Shaoyou showed his face and smiled, saying that he didn't care.It's just that although this act of nodding and chuckling was done in a smooth manner, it was a bit careless.In this way, it seems that Jun Rouran is deliberately trying to get close.Jun Rouran stood aside, pursing her lips in embarrassment.
Most of the concubines and concubines and noble daughters from aristocratic families are masters with bright eyes and bright hearts.In this way, although they understand that this is the face and affection between Yong'an Palace and Duke Huguo's Palace, they don't want to care about it.However, she also secretly laughed at Jun Rouran's abrupt behavior and indiscriminate words and deeds, and thinking of the series of scandals that came out of the Duke Huguo's mansion before, she gloated even more.Even the female relatives of Duke Li's mansion were pointed at by others, so it was shameless.
Standing in the crowd, Mrs. Li Guogong suddenly regretted discussing this marriage.
The queen looked at Jun Shaoyou's discord with Duke Huguo's mansion, and exchanged glances with the second prince Zhuang Zhou.In a short while, many imperial family members who were not as high as Princess Yong'an came forward to pay respects.The queen wanted to pull Jun Shaoyou to sit and talk at the table of female relatives, but Zhuang Lin refused on the grounds that men and women were different.Just when I was about to take Jun Shaoyou back to the main hall for a banquet, I saw a group of people headed by the third prince came out unwilling to be lonely, and said with a smile: "It's still lively on the Queen's side. If the Queen doesn't mind, I will also Take a seat in the garden."
Da Chu's folk customs are open, and the defense of men and women is not as strict and harsh as the previous dynasty.What's more, most of the female relatives present here are concubine mothers and sisters of several princes, even those who have meritorious deeds, after careful calculation, they are all relatives of these princes who can't be beaten at all.The queen intentionally left Jun Shaoyou at the table, so she went along with the flow and responded to the request of several princes.Only the male and female relatives are seated on the left and right seats.
Da Chu respected the right, so the queen put the seat of the eldest prince Zhuang Lin on the first seat on the right.Jun Shaoyou belonged to the type of husband and wife, and sat in the first seat along Zhuang Lin's seat.After the second, the second prince, the third prince and the sixth prince.On the left are the concubines, concubines and family members.
Everyone took their seats, and there were palace servants shuttled among them to present delicious food and wine.The musicians and dancers came along, and the bell rang for a while, and the silk and bamboo were unaware, and the clothes were flying, and the sleeves were full of singing, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Jun Shaoyou sat on the table with a wine bottle in his hand, his expression was flat, he was silent, and he was lazy and absent-minded in his laziness.There is no anxiety at all when attending a royal banquet in the palace for the first time.He was originally born very well, and now he behaves so well, gentle and elegant, which naturally attracted everyone at the table to look at him frequently.Seeing this, Zhuang Zhou unexpectedly thought of his previous response in the Taiji Palace.Then he said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the great emperor's sister-in-law has a brilliant literary talent and she speaks well. I was even more amazed by the song 'Ask the world, what is love' at the eldest princess's mansion that day. It's a pity that after that day, I no longer heard about the great emperor's sister-in-law. Sister-in-law only spoke a few words. Today is a good day, why don't Dahuang's sister-in-law compose a poem to add two points of color to this banquet."
Jun Shaoyou came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "The article is natural, and you can get it by chance. Now I am asked to compose a poem in a hurry, and there is really no good."
Before the second prince could reply, the third prince, Zhuang Jue, said with a smile: "The elder sister-in-law also said that there are no good poems. This sentence 'articles are made naturally, and you can get them by chance' is excellent. It can be seen that the emperor Sister-in-law is really humble."
Jun Shaoyou smiled at Zhuang Jue when he heard the words, but did not answer.
Seeing this, Zhuang Jue continued: "I'm not afraid of Da Huang's wife's jokes. In fact, I also like poetry and books, but I don't have the talent of Da Huang's wife. The poems I write are just for my own entertainment. If Da Huang's wife doesn't dislike me, I will If I have free time, I would like to ask the Great Emperor's Wife for advice."
Jun Shaoyou heard the words, and said modestly: "The third prince is absurd. In fact, from my point of view, the biggest function of this poem is to please people's hearts. Therefore, the words of the third prince's self-entertainment and so on, I think it is true." Get the essence of poetry."
Zhuang Jue raised his eyebrows excitedly, and asked, "What's the explanation for what the eldest sister-in-law said?"
Jun Shaoyou continued: "I think that in a poem, exquisite rhetoric is only the most superficial layer. Only when it comes from the heart can it touch the heart. Therefore, the poems written by several famous poets in the previous dynasty are simple and plain. , but it can be said in one sentence, and if there is something in the words, it will naturally resonate with people. This is the highest level of poetry and prose."
Zhuang Jue nodded suddenly, and said, "These words are similar to what my grandfather said."
Zhuang Jue's maternal grandfather was Sun Henian, a famous scholar who was known as the leading figure in the literary world.Although he never served as an official in the court, he has compiled countless classics in his life.In the year of no doubt, Taoyuan Academy was established in Tanzhou, where he was originally from, to teach and educate people, which can also be said to be full of peaches and plums.Because of his calm temperament, he did not hesitate to disputes in the court, so before and after the establishment of the Da Chu Dynasty, Emperor Yongqian personally invited him three times, and Sun Henian never came out of the mountain.However, Emperor Yongqian didn't have any gains at all, at least he abducted his daughter and returned to the palace to be a concubine.
As for Sun Henian's daughter, Sun Xianya, who was influenced by her father, she naturally had a calm and gentle temperament. She was conferred the title of Concubine Xian by Emperor Yongqian, and she really deserved her name.His son, Zhuang Jue, is in the same line of character as his mother's family. He is also a calm and breezy figure who doesn't talk about government affairs, but only knows calligraphy and painting.However, although he did not participate in the battle for the reserve, he has always remained neutral, and he is the object that both Zhuang Lin and Zhuang Zhou want to win over.Prior to this, Zhuang Jue was taught by his mother that he had always been lukewarm to his two elder brothers, and treated him with a flat bowl of water.Now that he is impressed by Jun Shaoyou's talent and learning, he can't help getting close to the lineage of Yong'an Palace when talking.Zhuang Zhou saw it and was very anxious.
On the left seat, a Liang Yuan dressed in a light pink court dress suddenly said: "The concubine Guan Wangfei speaks with certainty and orderliness, she doesn't look like she has no talent and no poetry. Maybe Princess Yong'an thinks that we are all ordinary people , I don’t know if he’s not worthy to ask him to recite a poem.” After saying a word, there was a sudden silence at the table, and many princes and princesses ordered their wives to look at each other, and finally they all looked at the Liangyuan and Jun Shaoyou.
There was a bit of obvious anger on Concubine Chen's face.She snorted coldly, opened her vermilion lips lightly, and said, "There are more and more articulate people in the palace. It can be seen that the empress is well trained."
The queen's face also sank, and she said solemnly to the Liangyuan: "Today's imperial banquet in the palace, all the ladies who come here are high-ranking wives, and Princess Yong'an is even a super-class nobleman. How could it be that you are a little girl?" A fourth-rank Liangyuan can make false accusations. It is not the rule of our palace to violate the above. Hurry up and apologize to Princess Yong'an."
The Liangyuan heard the words, and immediately said to Jun Shaoyou in fear and trepidation: "The concubine offended the princess for a while, please have a lot of concubines, and don't care about it like the concubine."
Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Liangyuan is being polite. I really dare not take it seriously."
That Liang Yuan felt that she had slipped her tongue, and sat in panic for a while at the table, then excused herself because she was unwell, and left.
Princess Pingyang, who was sitting on the table, looked at Shen Liangyuan's almost fleeing figure, and suddenly said, "It's no wonder that Shen Liangyuan's advances and retreats were inappropriate for a while, it's only because the eldest sister-in-law was amazing that she was so beautiful. Now everyone is disappointed to see that the eldest sister-in-law stopped writing poems after finishing her sentence. The eldest sister-in-law should take pity on us. Let us listen."
Before saying a word, all the princes, princesses and wives also started begging one after another.When Jun Shaoyou saw this, it was really hard to shirk it, and he was also suspicious of Princess Pingyang's deliberate overtures.He pondered for a moment, then said: "I don't have any good poems myself, but I heard a good poem read by a passer-by before. If you don't mind, I will read it for you now."
When everyone heard what Jun Shaoyou said, they became even more curious for a while, and they all urged: "Wangfei, please read it quickly."
Jun Shaoyou cleared his throat, and said, "The peony in front of the court is unqualified, and the lotus on the pond is pure and unfeeling. Only the peony is really beautiful, and the capital moves when it blooms."
The poem was finished, and before everyone had time to appreciate it, they heard the third prince Zhuang Jue clapping his hands and laughing, and said full of praise: "One sentence is only the true beauty of the peony, and it moves the capital when it blooms. Just this one sentence is the end of the story." Knowing that the world prefers the richness and enchantment of peonies, it is really simple in rhetoric, sincere and sincere, which makes people have endless aftertastes. The great emperor's wife is a great talent."
Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, and emphasized again: "It's not my poem, but I just heard it sung by a passer-by once in a while."
The third prince glanced at Jun Shaoyou with great interest, raised his eyebrows and smiled and said: "Since the eldest sister-in-law said so, but who is the name of the passer-by, and where is he from?"
Jun Shaoyou smiled, shook his head and said, "It's just a passerby who met once, how can I know so much."
After finishing speaking, I didn't want to talk more, so I immediately turned to lead the topic elsewhere.Seeing this, the third prince thought that Jun Shaoyou really didn't want others to pester him about his poems, so he smiled slightly and stopped forcing it.
The atmosphere at the banquet became more and more heated.All the men and women in the field looked at Jun Shaoyou secretly with curious eyes, and some people who felt that their status was not bad enough rushed to say a few polite words gossip.Jun Shaoyou answered a few words with ease.
Seeing Jun Shaoyou's calm and calm appearance, many female relatives sighed in their hearts.On that day, Jun Shaoyou married into Yong'an Palace as a man. Although the aristocratic family in Beijing didn't say anything in front of them, they all laughed at Jun Shaoyou's self-willed depravity, and the Huguo Gongfu sold his son for glory.However, time flies and in less than two years, Jun Shaoyou has achieved great fame.Now that both literary talent and martial arts are praised by the world, everyone immediately changed their tune, thinking that it is a pity that such a great talent as Jun Shaoyou is confined to the inner house.
However, Jun Shaoyou's attitude has always been the same. He neither became domineering just because he reached the sky that day, nor is he resentful and unwilling to be restrained by his status because of his talent and learning today. Humbled.
Jun Shaoyou, who stayed at home for a long time, did not know that his image had been beautified to such an extent by outsiders.But even if he knew, he probably just smiled and pretended not to care.After all, it was a habit for Jun Shaoyou to pretend to be forceful in his previous life, but now he has become a bit of a natural demeanor.
Ignoring the scorching gazes of the imperial wives around, Jun Shaoyou is more concerned about the attitude of the other party who always hesitates to speak whenever his gaze intersects with Pingyang, which really baffles Jun Shaoyou.
After a while, Princess Pingyang quietly left the banquet under the pretext of being hot.But after a while, a palace servant took the opportunity of pouring wine to come up to Jun Shaoyou, and whispered that Princess Pingyang was waiting outside.Jun Shaoyou moved his mind, whispered a few words to Zhuang Lin, and withdrew from the flower viewing feast.
All the way through the flowers and willows, along a narrow path paved with cobblestones to the side of a lotus pond.At this moment, it was afternoon, the sun was scorching, and the bright sunlight was pouring on the lake, reflecting the sparkling water of the lake.A gust of breeze blew by, the green lotus leaves in the pool swayed with the wind, and the sound of silk and bamboo came faintly, making it seem more quiet here.
A woman in a lavender palace dress stood at the end of the path. The thin gauze fluttered with the wind, her skirt fluttered, her skirt swayed slightly, and the green jade bell on her waist made a crisp sound from time to time.Her back is exquisite and graceful, and just standing there quietly gives people a feeling of being a small bird and a delicate and pitiful one.However, Jun Shaoyou only felt his footsteps stop, and frowned slightly troubled.
Because that person was not Princess Pingyang, but Zhuang Zhou's most beloved concubine—Chen Yuexi, the remnant of the former dynasty.
Sensing that the person behind him stopped hesitantly, Chen Yuexi, who had been waiting here for a long time, curled the corners of her lips proudly, turned around and said with a smile: "I only think that the banquet is too stuffy, so I come out to walk around." Walk around to relieve the heat of alcohol. It is really a blessing for Yuexi to meet Mr. Jun here without Chengxiang."
Today's banquet in the palace, no matter the prince or princess or the concubine's wife, treats Jun Shaoyou as "Wang Concubine".Chen Yuexi also called him the same at the banquet, but when he turned around, he changed to Mr. Jun again. Such a clever move of observing words and demeanor really made Jun Shaoyou amazed.
So he nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, what a coincidence."
When Chen Yuexi heard the words, she covered her mouth and smiled lightly, the innocence, charm and coquettishness revealed in an instant blended into a coquettish style that made it difficult to move her eyes away.In the previous life, Jun Shaoyou fell into Chen Yuexi's beauty trap just like that, and was willing to be tricked by her.Even though he was vigilant in this life, he couldn't help but stop and admire this beautiful scenery for a moment.
Come to think of it, Chen Yuexi also understands how attractive she is.She was a little proud of her money, and smiled as she walked: "Although I am a deep palace woman, I have never had the chance to meet the young master, but I have always admired the young master's literary grace. Things', really sad and desolate, the Tao exhausted the mentality of a daughter in the world."
Jun Shaoyou stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, looking at Chen Yuexi, who had a graceful figure and charming demeanor, and said with a smile: "It turns out that what a girl likes is the affair between children, which is lingering. Wanted much more than that."
For some reason, Chen Yuexi's heart suddenly fluttered, and the charming smile on her face froze slightly, and she said in a cold voice: "What do you mean, my lord, I can't understand it."
"Don't you really understand?" Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, and said, "The girl went to the second concubine's side after a lot of hard work, and won her trust with clever words, and then frequently used tricks to make Zhuang Zhou fall in love with you. All kinds of things Even a plot cannot be made by a class of punctual servants. I am afraid that a mere concubine in the royal family who has not been canonized can not satisfy the girl?"
Chen Yuexi's heart relaxed, and she immediately recovered her original charm with every gesture, and said with a clever smile: "Master, you are absurd. In fact, Yuexi just wants to live a better life. It's just that we have such identities, Even those who have admiration in their hearts can't say it, they can only stand aside and watch silently."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Jun Shaoyou affectionately, his almond eyes were hazy.
Jun Shaoyou smiled but said nothing.Chen Yuexi secretly rejoiced, her steps became more and more hurried, walking in front of Jun Shaoyou in three steps and two steps in parallel, just about to throw herself into Jun Shaoyou's arms to express her ambiguity.But suddenly there was a figure behind Jun Shaoyou, who bowed to salute and said: "I have seen the princess, I have seen Miss Yuexi."
Chen Yuexi's complexion changed drastically, her delicate flower-like face turned blue and white, and she stood in place with a sunken figure, and blurted out, "Why are you here?"
Cheng Ying lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, and said back: "If you go back to the girl, the servant has always been here."
Chen Yuexi looked up at Jun Shaoyou openly.I saw that Jun Shaoyou was just as calm and elegant as before, and he smiled nonchalantly: "There are so many eyes and ears in the palace, and I am a man next to me. I can't avoid the embarrassment of meeting concubines and concubines when walking around the palace, so naturally there must be maids to serve. In this way, some gossip can also be avoided. Besides, my girl was also from the palace since she was a child, and she has high eyebrows and low eyes when she does things. She doesn't sway in front of me on weekdays, so as not to spoil my interest in watching the scenery. The reason for this is, I hope the girl Forgive me."
Chen Yuexi weighed Jun Shaoyou's words, and his thoughts were like flashes of lightning. In an instant, he turned pale, knelt down and begged for mercy: "I have always admired the gentleman's character, today's words and deeds I can't help being innocent, and I hope that the son will keep his mouth shut because of the infatuation of my concubine. Otherwise, my concubine will be doomed."
Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "What is the girl doing? Between you and me, it was just a chance meeting and a few words. Other than that, there is no other love. The girl said these words for nothing , is really puzzling."
Chen Yuexi looked up at Jun Shaoyou, immediately got up and said with a smile: "I understand. I just met my empress by chance and exchanged a few words."
After finishing speaking, he leaned over and said with twinkling eyes: "It's getting late, I'm going back to the table first."
Jun Shaoyou nodded and smiled lightly, letting Chen Yuexi hurry back to the banquet.From the beginning to the end, Chen Yuexi was never asked why she appeared at the place where Princess Pingyang met him.Naturally, he would not ask the palace eunuch who was secretly lying in ambush behind the flowers and trees on the opposite side of the lotus pond.
After a long time, rustling sounds came from behind, the belt fluttered and the rings jingled.Jun Shaoyou smiled lightly in the blink of an eye, looked at the graceful Princess Pingyang, nodded and said, "The princess is finally here, please wait."
Princess Pingyang smiled warmly, and said: "I thought that the eldest sister-in-law could not wait to return to the banquet. I didn't expect the eldest sister-in-law to be so calm. It is Pingyang who came late, please forgive me."
Jun Shaoyou shrugged his shoulders contentedly, and said disapprovingly, "It's okay. It's always a woman's right to be late on a date."
Princess Pingyang blushed a little at Jun Shaoyou's frivolous words.After Wei Wei calmed down, she asked: "Sister-in-law Huang, don't you want to ask why the second brother's concubine appeared at the place where you and I met?"
Jun Shaoyou didn't take it seriously, and confused Princess Pingyang and said, "Didn't she just talk about it just now, it's just a chance encounter."
Princess Pingyang chuckled, and said: "If the eldest sister-in-law really thinks so, then it's a chance encounter."
Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, and asked again: "I don't know if the princess please come here, what is the matter?"
Princess Pingyang fixedly glanced at Jun Shaoyou, but she was not in a hurry to get to the point, but asked curiously: "Is the eldest sister-in-law always so indifferent to her own safety and reputation?"
Jun Shaoyou smiled lightly, and said with a pun: "I never worry about things that can't happen."
A gleam flashed in Princess Pingyang's eyes, and she said calmly: "In this way, the eldest sister-in-law is quite confident. It's just that the eldest sister-in-law is confident in herself. I don't know how the eldest sister-in-law will handle it if the same thing happened to the elder brother. ?”
After finishing a sentence, Jun Shaoyou was still in good shape, but Cheng Ying who was beside him suddenly changed color.
At the same time, there was a sudden commotion in the direction of the banquet.Princess Pingyang gave Jun Shaoyou a meaningful look, and said, "My business is not in a hurry. If the eldest sister-in-law is interested, we might as well take a look at the excitement of others first."
Jun Shaoyou quietly glanced at Princess Pingyang, smiled and said, "Okay."
Early in the morning, Jun Shaoyou and Zhuang Lin first went to the martial arts field for morning exercises, then had a simple breakfast, dressed neatly and went to the palace for a banquet.
As usual, please hand over the Announcement to the Tai Chi Palace first.Emperor Yongqian hadn't seen his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law for more than a month, so naturally he asked questions enthusiastically.In less than three or five sentences, Wei Jingzhong outside passed the rumor that the second prince handed over a sign saying hello.Emperor Yongqian said with a smile.After a while, Zhuang Zhou, who was wearing a crimson court dress, hurried in.
After bowing and prostrating, Zhuang Zhou got up and stood still.Seeing Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou standing side by side in front of them, a look of complexity flashed in his eyes.He nodded to the two of them and said with a smile: "I have seen the eldest brother, I have seen the elder sister-in-law."
Zhuang Lin and Zhuang Lin were right with each other with gentle smiles.Zhuang Zhou smiled calmly and said: "Brother and sister-in-law of the great emperor are really deeply in love with each other, and they are not willing to part for a moment. Even when they enter the palace to meet His Majesty, they have to go hand in hand. Such a tacit understanding of going in and going out together is really true. Envious of others."
Zhuang Lin smiled slightly, and said, "Second Emperor Brother is also very lucky. I heard that you got another beautiful concubine recently. My brother is here to congratulate you first."
Zhuang Zhou hooked the corners of his mouth disapprovingly, and said, "It's just a vulgar fan. How can it be compared to the amazing talent of the eldest sister-in-law, who crowns Jinghua. I heard that the eldest sister-in-law has done something recently. The book Yayuan comes out for the students who come to Beijing to take the exam to read, read, and discuss knowledge. Nowadays, who doesn't praise the forgiveness and charity of the great emperor's wife? My concubine is only worthy of serving people with tea and water. Brother Dahuang is the one who has the deepest blessing."
Speaking of the latter, the tone is inevitably a little sour.It's just because Zhuang Zhou united with a group of famous families to create a Jixianzhai with money and effort.I originally wanted to use this as a basis to establish some clear reputation, but who knew that Jun Shaoyou's book elegant garden came out before there was much movement.For a time, scholars in Beijing and China only knew about Shu Ya Yuan but not about Ji Xian Zhai.Zhuang Zhou only felt that his limelight had been robbed by Jun Shaoyou.How can Zhuang Zhou not be angry that even his most proud base camp has been poached?
It's just that he hid alone, even if his lungs exploded, no one paid attention to him.So the most urgent thing is to find a way to break the plan of Zhuang Lin and his wife.
While Zhuang Zhou was speaking, he observed the expression of Emperor Yongqian calmly.Seeing that Emperor Yongqian always had a calm, loving and generous appearance, he felt a little disappointed in his heart.
Seeing that Zhuang Zhou's intentions were so obvious, Jun Shaoyou smiled and said, "This is all the favor of His Majesty. If His Majesty hadn't opened the golden mouth, how could I have won the Jinshi of Jinbang High School in recent years?" The test papers are used as model essays, let alone the calligraphy articles of previous examiners for those poor students to study. In the final analysis, it is His Majesty’s charity and forgiveness, and he is willing to give those poor students a chance to learn. If you compare Shu Yayuan to An academy, His Majesty is the dean of this academy. These poor students rely on His Majesty's grace to read these articles and calligraphy. Naturally, they are all disciples of the Son of Heaven. But they are not talented, at most they can be regarded as the director of foreign affairs of the academy. Some miscellaneous matters in the academy allow students to study with peace of mind. If Enke and others are lucky enough to go to high school in the coming year, His Majesty will naturally be full of peaches and plums. Your Majesty's grace."
What he said was both humble and innovative, which made Yongqian Dilang laugh out loud. He silently recited "Student of the Son of Heaven" a few times in his heart, before reaching out his hand and pointing in Jun Shaoyou's direction, he said, "Your mouth, It's like applying honey, it's used to coaxing people."
Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, and said narrowly: "Your Majesty knows that what I say is all from the bottom of my heart. It's just that the truth has always been superficial, and it's not because of my intention."
This caused Emperor Yongqian to burst out laughing heartily again, with an undisguised self-satisfied expectation in his expression.Seeing this, Zhuang Zhou's heart sank slightly.Barely restraining his mind, he said with a smile: "Brother used to only know that the big emperor's elder brother was good at military affairs, and never liked these literary and ink idiots. I didn't expect to have someone like the big emperor's wife to help me today. The big emperor's brother is naturally Both civil and military are complete."
Zhuang Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, but smiled silently.
What Zhuang Zhou hates the most is Zhuang Lin's noble and unruly appearance, as if there is no other capable person in the imperial city except him.However, Emperor Yongqian liked his tone, even if Zhuang Zhou hated it so much, he had no choice but to do it.
And Zhuang Lin has always hated Zhuang Zhou's gentle and elegant appearance.In the previous life, Jun Shaoyou was confused by Zhuang Zhou's appearance, so he wholeheartedly helped Zhuang Zhou, a hypocrite, so that in the end his reputation was ruined and everyone betrayed his relatives.This matter has always made Zhuang Lin brooding.So in this life, Zhuang Lin hated Zhuang Zhou even more.
As the two adult princes got older, they showed an aura of incompatibility.Especially since the big marriage and the establishment of the mansion, after being able to gather forces, the confrontation between the two sides has become more obvious.If such a situation were placed in an ordinary family, even parents would have to worry about it day and night.It's a pity that in an environment like the royal family, a delicate balance has formed.
But more importantly, such a balance is what Emperor Yongqian, as an emperor, would like to see.
Everyone talked and laughed with evil intentions for a while, and Emperor Yongqian saw that it was about the same time, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat to the Jiaofang Hall to meet the empress.
At that time, Empress Yan was receiving a group of concubines who were paying their respects, as well as imperial wives from various meritorious marquis residences in Beijing.All the female relatives were led to enjoy the flowers and tea in the imperial garden, because they were afraid that the chatting of the female relatives would not attract the interest of the men.The Queen carefully arranged a juggling performance in the main hall to please the underage princes.
The three of Zhuang Lin came here hand in hand, first came to the queen to say hello and greetings, and then visited the concubine Chen and the other concubines.Yang Daimei led Jun Rouran to meet her, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Shaoyou's complexion is getting better."
Jun Rouran fell behind Yang Daimei and said with a joking smile: "It can be seen that the prince really loves Wu Lang. So Wu Lang's heart is relieved, and his complexion is naturally better."
After a pause, he said with a slightly sour smile: "In the past, the rumors in Beijing were all about how brave King Yong'an was and how he made great achievements in battle. Who would have thought that under the heroic spirit of the prince, he would be so tender and affectionate. .My fifth younger brother is truly a blessing from Baishixiu."
These words were too flattering and sour, everyone frowned slightly, thinking of how Jun Rouran loved Yong'an Wang Zhuanglin in the past.It's a pity that Luohua intends to be ruthless. The king of Yong'an would rather marry Jun Shaoyou, a barren concubine, as his concubine, and he would not take a second look at Jun Rouran, a concubine.
For a while, everyone whispered and whispered.Mrs. Li Guogong hid in the crowd, her face darkened with a little displeasure.Li Qingxu, the legitimate daughter of Duke Li, curled her lips in disdain, and turned her face to whisper a few words to Mrs. Li Guogong.I saw Mrs. Li Guogong's face became more and more gloomy.
Yang Dai's brows tightened, and she quickly reprimanded her: "I know you have always been friends with your brother, and I'm glad that your brother will be depended on for life. It's just that today's occasion is such a reason for you to talk nonsense and make fun of your brother."
When Jun Rouran heard the words, she blinked her eyes calmly.He leaned over and smiled and said: "It's all my fault. I always thought it was a wanton joking among my sisters and brothers at home, so I became abrupt. I hope the prince and younger brother don't take offense."
Zhuang Lin seemed to have never heard of it, and just lowered his head and whispered to Jun Shaoyou.Jun Shaoyou showed his face and smiled, saying that he didn't care.It's just that although this act of nodding and chuckling was done in a smooth manner, it was a bit careless.In this way, it seems that Jun Rouran is deliberately trying to get close.Jun Rouran stood aside, pursing her lips in embarrassment.
Most of the concubines and concubines and noble daughters from aristocratic families are masters with bright eyes and bright hearts.In this way, although they understand that this is the face and affection between Yong'an Palace and Duke Huguo's Palace, they don't want to care about it.However, she also secretly laughed at Jun Rouran's abrupt behavior and indiscriminate words and deeds, and thinking of the series of scandals that came out of the Duke Huguo's mansion before, she gloated even more.Even the female relatives of Duke Li's mansion were pointed at by others, so it was shameless.
Standing in the crowd, Mrs. Li Guogong suddenly regretted discussing this marriage.
The queen looked at Jun Shaoyou's discord with Duke Huguo's mansion, and exchanged glances with the second prince Zhuang Zhou.In a short while, many imperial family members who were not as high as Princess Yong'an came forward to pay respects.The queen wanted to pull Jun Shaoyou to sit and talk at the table of female relatives, but Zhuang Lin refused on the grounds that men and women were different.Just when I was about to take Jun Shaoyou back to the main hall for a banquet, I saw a group of people headed by the third prince came out unwilling to be lonely, and said with a smile: "It's still lively on the Queen's side. If the Queen doesn't mind, I will also Take a seat in the garden."
Da Chu's folk customs are open, and the defense of men and women is not as strict and harsh as the previous dynasty.What's more, most of the female relatives present here are concubine mothers and sisters of several princes, even those who have meritorious deeds, after careful calculation, they are all relatives of these princes who can't be beaten at all.The queen intentionally left Jun Shaoyou at the table, so she went along with the flow and responded to the request of several princes.Only the male and female relatives are seated on the left and right seats.
Da Chu respected the right, so the queen put the seat of the eldest prince Zhuang Lin on the first seat on the right.Jun Shaoyou belonged to the type of husband and wife, and sat in the first seat along Zhuang Lin's seat.After the second, the second prince, the third prince and the sixth prince.On the left are the concubines, concubines and family members.
Everyone took their seats, and there were palace servants shuttled among them to present delicious food and wine.The musicians and dancers came along, and the bell rang for a while, and the silk and bamboo were unaware, and the clothes were flying, and the sleeves were full of singing, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Jun Shaoyou sat on the table with a wine bottle in his hand, his expression was flat, he was silent, and he was lazy and absent-minded in his laziness.There is no anxiety at all when attending a royal banquet in the palace for the first time.He was originally born very well, and now he behaves so well, gentle and elegant, which naturally attracted everyone at the table to look at him frequently.Seeing this, Zhuang Zhou unexpectedly thought of his previous response in the Taiji Palace.Then he said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the great emperor's sister-in-law has a brilliant literary talent and she speaks well. I was even more amazed by the song 'Ask the world, what is love' at the eldest princess's mansion that day. It's a pity that after that day, I no longer heard about the great emperor's sister-in-law. Sister-in-law only spoke a few words. Today is a good day, why don't Dahuang's sister-in-law compose a poem to add two points of color to this banquet."
Jun Shaoyou came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "The article is natural, and you can get it by chance. Now I am asked to compose a poem in a hurry, and there is really no good."
Before the second prince could reply, the third prince, Zhuang Jue, said with a smile: "The elder sister-in-law also said that there are no good poems. This sentence 'articles are made naturally, and you can get them by chance' is excellent. It can be seen that the emperor Sister-in-law is really humble."
Jun Shaoyou smiled at Zhuang Jue when he heard the words, but did not answer.
Seeing this, Zhuang Jue continued: "I'm not afraid of Da Huang's wife's jokes. In fact, I also like poetry and books, but I don't have the talent of Da Huang's wife. The poems I write are just for my own entertainment. If Da Huang's wife doesn't dislike me, I will If I have free time, I would like to ask the Great Emperor's Wife for advice."
Jun Shaoyou heard the words, and said modestly: "The third prince is absurd. In fact, from my point of view, the biggest function of this poem is to please people's hearts. Therefore, the words of the third prince's self-entertainment and so on, I think it is true." Get the essence of poetry."
Zhuang Jue raised his eyebrows excitedly, and asked, "What's the explanation for what the eldest sister-in-law said?"
Jun Shaoyou continued: "I think that in a poem, exquisite rhetoric is only the most superficial layer. Only when it comes from the heart can it touch the heart. Therefore, the poems written by several famous poets in the previous dynasty are simple and plain. , but it can be said in one sentence, and if there is something in the words, it will naturally resonate with people. This is the highest level of poetry and prose."
Zhuang Jue nodded suddenly, and said, "These words are similar to what my grandfather said."
Zhuang Jue's maternal grandfather was Sun Henian, a famous scholar who was known as the leading figure in the literary world.Although he never served as an official in the court, he has compiled countless classics in his life.In the year of no doubt, Taoyuan Academy was established in Tanzhou, where he was originally from, to teach and educate people, which can also be said to be full of peaches and plums.Because of his calm temperament, he did not hesitate to disputes in the court, so before and after the establishment of the Da Chu Dynasty, Emperor Yongqian personally invited him three times, and Sun Henian never came out of the mountain.However, Emperor Yongqian didn't have any gains at all, at least he abducted his daughter and returned to the palace to be a concubine.
As for Sun Henian's daughter, Sun Xianya, who was influenced by her father, she naturally had a calm and gentle temperament. She was conferred the title of Concubine Xian by Emperor Yongqian, and she really deserved her name.His son, Zhuang Jue, is in the same line of character as his mother's family. He is also a calm and breezy figure who doesn't talk about government affairs, but only knows calligraphy and painting.However, although he did not participate in the battle for the reserve, he has always remained neutral, and he is the object that both Zhuang Lin and Zhuang Zhou want to win over.Prior to this, Zhuang Jue was taught by his mother that he had always been lukewarm to his two elder brothers, and treated him with a flat bowl of water.Now that he is impressed by Jun Shaoyou's talent and learning, he can't help getting close to the lineage of Yong'an Palace when talking.Zhuang Zhou saw it and was very anxious.
On the left seat, a Liang Yuan dressed in a light pink court dress suddenly said: "The concubine Guan Wangfei speaks with certainty and orderliness, she doesn't look like she has no talent and no poetry. Maybe Princess Yong'an thinks that we are all ordinary people , I don’t know if he’s not worthy to ask him to recite a poem.” After saying a word, there was a sudden silence at the table, and many princes and princesses ordered their wives to look at each other, and finally they all looked at the Liangyuan and Jun Shaoyou.
There was a bit of obvious anger on Concubine Chen's face.She snorted coldly, opened her vermilion lips lightly, and said, "There are more and more articulate people in the palace. It can be seen that the empress is well trained."
The queen's face also sank, and she said solemnly to the Liangyuan: "Today's imperial banquet in the palace, all the ladies who come here are high-ranking wives, and Princess Yong'an is even a super-class nobleman. How could it be that you are a little girl?" A fourth-rank Liangyuan can make false accusations. It is not the rule of our palace to violate the above. Hurry up and apologize to Princess Yong'an."
The Liangyuan heard the words, and immediately said to Jun Shaoyou in fear and trepidation: "The concubine offended the princess for a while, please have a lot of concubines, and don't care about it like the concubine."
Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Liangyuan is being polite. I really dare not take it seriously."
That Liang Yuan felt that she had slipped her tongue, and sat in panic for a while at the table, then excused herself because she was unwell, and left.
Princess Pingyang, who was sitting on the table, looked at Shen Liangyuan's almost fleeing figure, and suddenly said, "It's no wonder that Shen Liangyuan's advances and retreats were inappropriate for a while, it's only because the eldest sister-in-law was amazing that she was so beautiful. Now everyone is disappointed to see that the eldest sister-in-law stopped writing poems after finishing her sentence. The eldest sister-in-law should take pity on us. Let us listen."
Before saying a word, all the princes, princesses and wives also started begging one after another.When Jun Shaoyou saw this, it was really hard to shirk it, and he was also suspicious of Princess Pingyang's deliberate overtures.He pondered for a moment, then said: "I don't have any good poems myself, but I heard a good poem read by a passer-by before. If you don't mind, I will read it for you now."
When everyone heard what Jun Shaoyou said, they became even more curious for a while, and they all urged: "Wangfei, please read it quickly."
Jun Shaoyou cleared his throat, and said, "The peony in front of the court is unqualified, and the lotus on the pond is pure and unfeeling. Only the peony is really beautiful, and the capital moves when it blooms."
The poem was finished, and before everyone had time to appreciate it, they heard the third prince Zhuang Jue clapping his hands and laughing, and said full of praise: "One sentence is only the true beauty of the peony, and it moves the capital when it blooms. Just this one sentence is the end of the story." Knowing that the world prefers the richness and enchantment of peonies, it is really simple in rhetoric, sincere and sincere, which makes people have endless aftertastes. The great emperor's wife is a great talent."
Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, and emphasized again: "It's not my poem, but I just heard it sung by a passer-by once in a while."
The third prince glanced at Jun Shaoyou with great interest, raised his eyebrows and smiled and said: "Since the eldest sister-in-law said so, but who is the name of the passer-by, and where is he from?"
Jun Shaoyou smiled, shook his head and said, "It's just a passerby who met once, how can I know so much."
After finishing speaking, I didn't want to talk more, so I immediately turned to lead the topic elsewhere.Seeing this, the third prince thought that Jun Shaoyou really didn't want others to pester him about his poems, so he smiled slightly and stopped forcing it.
The atmosphere at the banquet became more and more heated.All the men and women in the field looked at Jun Shaoyou secretly with curious eyes, and some people who felt that their status was not bad enough rushed to say a few polite words gossip.Jun Shaoyou answered a few words with ease.
Seeing Jun Shaoyou's calm and calm appearance, many female relatives sighed in their hearts.On that day, Jun Shaoyou married into Yong'an Palace as a man. Although the aristocratic family in Beijing didn't say anything in front of them, they all laughed at Jun Shaoyou's self-willed depravity, and the Huguo Gongfu sold his son for glory.However, time flies and in less than two years, Jun Shaoyou has achieved great fame.Now that both literary talent and martial arts are praised by the world, everyone immediately changed their tune, thinking that it is a pity that such a great talent as Jun Shaoyou is confined to the inner house.
However, Jun Shaoyou's attitude has always been the same. He neither became domineering just because he reached the sky that day, nor is he resentful and unwilling to be restrained by his status because of his talent and learning today. Humbled.
Jun Shaoyou, who stayed at home for a long time, did not know that his image had been beautified to such an extent by outsiders.But even if he knew, he probably just smiled and pretended not to care.After all, it was a habit for Jun Shaoyou to pretend to be forceful in his previous life, but now he has become a bit of a natural demeanor.
Ignoring the scorching gazes of the imperial wives around, Jun Shaoyou is more concerned about the attitude of the other party who always hesitates to speak whenever his gaze intersects with Pingyang, which really baffles Jun Shaoyou.
After a while, Princess Pingyang quietly left the banquet under the pretext of being hot.But after a while, a palace servant took the opportunity of pouring wine to come up to Jun Shaoyou, and whispered that Princess Pingyang was waiting outside.Jun Shaoyou moved his mind, whispered a few words to Zhuang Lin, and withdrew from the flower viewing feast.
All the way through the flowers and willows, along a narrow path paved with cobblestones to the side of a lotus pond.At this moment, it was afternoon, the sun was scorching, and the bright sunlight was pouring on the lake, reflecting the sparkling water of the lake.A gust of breeze blew by, the green lotus leaves in the pool swayed with the wind, and the sound of silk and bamboo came faintly, making it seem more quiet here.
A woman in a lavender palace dress stood at the end of the path. The thin gauze fluttered with the wind, her skirt fluttered, her skirt swayed slightly, and the green jade bell on her waist made a crisp sound from time to time.Her back is exquisite and graceful, and just standing there quietly gives people a feeling of being a small bird and a delicate and pitiful one.However, Jun Shaoyou only felt his footsteps stop, and frowned slightly troubled.
Because that person was not Princess Pingyang, but Zhuang Zhou's most beloved concubine—Chen Yuexi, the remnant of the former dynasty.
Sensing that the person behind him stopped hesitantly, Chen Yuexi, who had been waiting here for a long time, curled the corners of her lips proudly, turned around and said with a smile: "I only think that the banquet is too stuffy, so I come out to walk around." Walk around to relieve the heat of alcohol. It is really a blessing for Yuexi to meet Mr. Jun here without Chengxiang."
Today's banquet in the palace, no matter the prince or princess or the concubine's wife, treats Jun Shaoyou as "Wang Concubine".Chen Yuexi also called him the same at the banquet, but when he turned around, he changed to Mr. Jun again. Such a clever move of observing words and demeanor really made Jun Shaoyou amazed.
So he nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, what a coincidence."
When Chen Yuexi heard the words, she covered her mouth and smiled lightly, the innocence, charm and coquettishness revealed in an instant blended into a coquettish style that made it difficult to move her eyes away.In the previous life, Jun Shaoyou fell into Chen Yuexi's beauty trap just like that, and was willing to be tricked by her.Even though he was vigilant in this life, he couldn't help but stop and admire this beautiful scenery for a moment.
Come to think of it, Chen Yuexi also understands how attractive she is.She was a little proud of her money, and smiled as she walked: "Although I am a deep palace woman, I have never had the chance to meet the young master, but I have always admired the young master's literary grace. Things', really sad and desolate, the Tao exhausted the mentality of a daughter in the world."
Jun Shaoyou stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, looking at Chen Yuexi, who had a graceful figure and charming demeanor, and said with a smile: "It turns out that what a girl likes is the affair between children, which is lingering. Wanted much more than that."
For some reason, Chen Yuexi's heart suddenly fluttered, and the charming smile on her face froze slightly, and she said in a cold voice: "What do you mean, my lord, I can't understand it."
"Don't you really understand?" Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, and said, "The girl went to the second concubine's side after a lot of hard work, and won her trust with clever words, and then frequently used tricks to make Zhuang Zhou fall in love with you. All kinds of things Even a plot cannot be made by a class of punctual servants. I am afraid that a mere concubine in the royal family who has not been canonized can not satisfy the girl?"
Chen Yuexi's heart relaxed, and she immediately recovered her original charm with every gesture, and said with a clever smile: "Master, you are absurd. In fact, Yuexi just wants to live a better life. It's just that we have such identities, Even those who have admiration in their hearts can't say it, they can only stand aside and watch silently."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Jun Shaoyou affectionately, his almond eyes were hazy.
Jun Shaoyou smiled but said nothing.Chen Yuexi secretly rejoiced, her steps became more and more hurried, walking in front of Jun Shaoyou in three steps and two steps in parallel, just about to throw herself into Jun Shaoyou's arms to express her ambiguity.But suddenly there was a figure behind Jun Shaoyou, who bowed to salute and said: "I have seen the princess, I have seen Miss Yuexi."
Chen Yuexi's complexion changed drastically, her delicate flower-like face turned blue and white, and she stood in place with a sunken figure, and blurted out, "Why are you here?"
Cheng Ying lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, and said back: "If you go back to the girl, the servant has always been here."
Chen Yuexi looked up at Jun Shaoyou openly.I saw that Jun Shaoyou was just as calm and elegant as before, and he smiled nonchalantly: "There are so many eyes and ears in the palace, and I am a man next to me. I can't avoid the embarrassment of meeting concubines and concubines when walking around the palace, so naturally there must be maids to serve. In this way, some gossip can also be avoided. Besides, my girl was also from the palace since she was a child, and she has high eyebrows and low eyes when she does things. She doesn't sway in front of me on weekdays, so as not to spoil my interest in watching the scenery. The reason for this is, I hope the girl Forgive me."
Chen Yuexi weighed Jun Shaoyou's words, and his thoughts were like flashes of lightning. In an instant, he turned pale, knelt down and begged for mercy: "I have always admired the gentleman's character, today's words and deeds I can't help being innocent, and I hope that the son will keep his mouth shut because of the infatuation of my concubine. Otherwise, my concubine will be doomed."
Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "What is the girl doing? Between you and me, it was just a chance meeting and a few words. Other than that, there is no other love. The girl said these words for nothing , is really puzzling."
Chen Yuexi looked up at Jun Shaoyou, immediately got up and said with a smile: "I understand. I just met my empress by chance and exchanged a few words."
After finishing speaking, he leaned over and said with twinkling eyes: "It's getting late, I'm going back to the table first."
Jun Shaoyou nodded and smiled lightly, letting Chen Yuexi hurry back to the banquet.From the beginning to the end, Chen Yuexi was never asked why she appeared at the place where Princess Pingyang met him.Naturally, he would not ask the palace eunuch who was secretly lying in ambush behind the flowers and trees on the opposite side of the lotus pond.
After a long time, rustling sounds came from behind, the belt fluttered and the rings jingled.Jun Shaoyou smiled lightly in the blink of an eye, looked at the graceful Princess Pingyang, nodded and said, "The princess is finally here, please wait."
Princess Pingyang smiled warmly, and said: "I thought that the eldest sister-in-law could not wait to return to the banquet. I didn't expect the eldest sister-in-law to be so calm. It is Pingyang who came late, please forgive me."
Jun Shaoyou shrugged his shoulders contentedly, and said disapprovingly, "It's okay. It's always a woman's right to be late on a date."
Princess Pingyang blushed a little at Jun Shaoyou's frivolous words.After Wei Wei calmed down, she asked: "Sister-in-law Huang, don't you want to ask why the second brother's concubine appeared at the place where you and I met?"
Jun Shaoyou didn't take it seriously, and confused Princess Pingyang and said, "Didn't she just talk about it just now, it's just a chance encounter."
Princess Pingyang chuckled, and said: "If the eldest sister-in-law really thinks so, then it's a chance encounter."
Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, and asked again: "I don't know if the princess please come here, what is the matter?"
Princess Pingyang fixedly glanced at Jun Shaoyou, but she was not in a hurry to get to the point, but asked curiously: "Is the eldest sister-in-law always so indifferent to her own safety and reputation?"
Jun Shaoyou smiled lightly, and said with a pun: "I never worry about things that can't happen."
A gleam flashed in Princess Pingyang's eyes, and she said calmly: "In this way, the eldest sister-in-law is quite confident. It's just that the eldest sister-in-law is confident in herself. I don't know how the eldest sister-in-law will handle it if the same thing happened to the elder brother. ?”
After finishing a sentence, Jun Shaoyou was still in good shape, but Cheng Ying who was beside him suddenly changed color.
At the same time, there was a sudden commotion in the direction of the banquet.Princess Pingyang gave Jun Shaoyou a meaningful look, and said, "My business is not in a hurry. If the eldest sister-in-law is interested, we might as well take a look at the excitement of others first."
Jun Shaoyou quietly glanced at Princess Pingyang, smiled and said, "Okay."
