Everyone paused, and after a long while, someone sighed, "Although we were far away and couldn't see the face, it's just that the figure was casual and easy, but it still makes people feel charming, I'm afraid it's a beauty. However, isn't there no woman in Prince Jing's mansion? How could..."
Hearing this, many people's eyes fell on Yun Shang who still had a gentle smile, but they couldn't help comparing Yun Shang with the woman just now, the more they looked at it, the more frightened they were, Yun Shang It's not the kind of beauty at first glance. At first glance, I just feel that she is soft and delicate. Standing quietly like that, she seems to have entered a painting. The spirit is like autumn water, and the emerald green skirt looks extraordinarily dazzling and fresh in this light and shallow spring day, just like rain hitting the green lotus, the mist is thin on the lonely mountain, with a touch of lightness and elegance.
When did this inconspicuous princess look so beautiful
Seeing everyone's expressions, Yunshang knew what they were thinking, so she said softly, "As I said just now, the butler at the emperor's uncle's mansion really doesn't know anything about birthday banquets. It must be that the emperor's uncle went to When I came to Shunqing Palace, I also invited Miss Qianqian to play the piano and dance when I saw the princess's birthday, so I also invited over. However, although the status of Miss Qianqian was a bit embarrassing, it was just that the hand piano was excellent, and she danced step by step. Shenglian is unique in the world."
Although those present belonged to wives and ladies, but Qianqian's reputation is too great, even in the inner house, I have heard of it, I don't know what to say for a while, if I praise it, it will lower my status However, if it belittles, it is doing the right thing with Prince Jing's mansion. Everyone looked at each other, but did not speak.
"Heroes don't care about their origins. Since this Qianqian girl can be praised by the princess like this, she must have her strengths. Yan'er will have to watch her performance later." In the silence of everyone, Wang Jinyan suddenly His praise silenced everyone even more.
Yun Shang smiled slightly, and couldn't help being amused in her heart. The children of the Wang family are really different from those other ladies who pretend to be reserved.
"Princess, the emperor is here. The prince invites the princess to accompany you in the front yard." A servant hurried over and said in a low voice.
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Father is here?" Then she complained to those wives and ladies and went to the front yard.
As expected, Emperor Ning was sitting on the top seat, and King Jing was wearing a green robe, quietly talking with Emperor Ning. It's not a big problem, so I feel relieved.
King Jing saw Yun Chang first, his eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Shang'er, come quickly."
Emperor Ning turned his eyes, and saw Yunshang with a dazed face standing at the door, Emperor Ning smiled and said, "Why don't you wait for Emperor Father?"
Yun Chang walked to Emperor Ning and sat down, raised his eyes to look at Emperor Ning, and said with a smile, "Shang'er thought that Father Emperor would not come, so he came first, but as soon as he arrived at the palace, he was arrested by the emperor's uncle to entertain him." The female relatives have gone, and Chang'er doesn't even know that the father is here."
Emperor Ning raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and looked at Prince Jing, whose face had softened a lot since Yunshang entered, "Oh?"
Prince Jing smiled with embarrassment, "My brother's birthdays were all spent in the army before, and the big guys also passed them by drinking, drinking, and eating meat. Today, I'm in the imperial city, and I don't know how to hold a birthday banquet." It’s such a hassle, and the preparations are not very thorough.”
When Emperor Ning heard Prince Jing's words, he was silent for a moment, and curled his lips, "Your brother has worked hard."
After talking for a while, the banquet was held. After the banquet, Emperor Ning did not return to the palace in a hurry. After getting on the tables and chairs, the performers performed on the attic opposite. The imperial city is only this size, and the performances are similar. The troupe that Yunshang hired is one of the best in the imperial city. After ordering a few plays, they also withdrew. .
There was a sound of pipa in the attic, but there was no one there. The pipa was playing a little song of picking lotus in the south of the Yangtze River, but it was very fascinating. Everyone was a little curious about who the person playing the pipa was, but they saw a pink figure flying out of the attic. It landed on a lotus leaf just showing its sharp corners in the middle of the lake.
Everyone was shocked, the weight of a person is naturally not light, but the woman was standing on the lotus leaf, but she was still relaxed, holding a pipa in her hand, and the sound of the pipa was not affected in the slightest, one can imagine , this woman's lightness skill should definitely not be weak.
It's just that the woman just turned her back to the crowd, but she didn't turn her head. She just tiptoed slightly and danced lightly on the lotus leaves.
"Okay!" Emperor Ning was the first to say hello, and everyone came to their senses, with a little interest in their eyes, and some people had already recognized the woman in the lake, "That's not the number one oiran in the imperial city, Is it a shallow girl?"
All of a sudden, the crowd started discussing quietly, but the voices of such discussions disappeared when they made a gesture of bouncing the pipa.
Qianqian is wearing a light pink dress, long enough to drag the floor, her slender waist is restrained by a belt of clouds, which makes it even more slender, and a hibiscus hairpin in her hair reflects her face like a hibiscus, her face is extremely gorgeous, her pair of phoenix eyes are charming natural.
The sound of the pipa is endless, and the woman in the lake keeps changing various postures, making people overwhelmed. Before the last sound of the pipa lands, the woman is seen flying away without a trace of nostalgia.
For a long while, no one spoke, as if they were intoxicated by the sound of the pipa just now, maybe it was the dancing posture, maybe it was the beauty.
Emperor Ning smiled slightly, with a gloomy look flashing in his eyes, after a long while, he stood up and rubbed his forehead and said, "Your brother today really opened my eyes, I just drank a lot of wine , but now I'm a little drunk, brother, find me a place to rest for a while."
Prince Jing got up quickly, "Your brother, bring the emperor over there."
Emperor Ning waved his hand and said, "You are the master today, so stay here to greet the guests, and just find someone to take me there."
Prince Jing was silent for a while, and then called the housekeeper, who asked him to take Emperor Ning to the East Wing. The butler left with Emperor Ning, and the atmosphere was only a little more lively, when someone said, "It is said that Qianqian girl is hard to please, if she doesn't like someone, even if you bring mountains of gold and silver to her She also doesn't like it, but I don't know how Prince Jing invited this Qianqian girl to the mansion?"
Hearing this, King Jing slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "Speaking of which, Miss Qianqian didn't come here for my prince's sake. The person who invited Miss Qianqian here is someone else, but whoever it is, I will decide." It is inconvenient to say more."
Although the people who came to the stage next were not bad, but after seeing Qianqian's dancing posture, everyone's interest faded. Since Emperor Ning was not present, everyone lost their scruples and started toasting one after another.
Yun Shang watched Prince Jing drink glass after glass of wine, and frowned slightly, his wound...
I just thought about it, but I still gave up and just quietly watched the performance on the stage.
Qian Yin walked up to Yun Shang and said something beside Yun Shang. Yun Shang's eyes burst into light, and she smiled and said, "Uncle Emperor, all the ladies and ladies may feel a little bored. Let's take them to the backyard for a rest."
Prince Jing's eyes fell on Yun Shang, and the hand holding the wine glass paused for a moment before he smiled and replied, "Okay."
Yun Shang stood up with a smile, she was also the female family member Yun Shang was entertaining just now, those ladies and ladies did not drink, and the performances on the stage were not attractive, so they also stood up and followed behind Yun Shang, saying These words go to the backyard.
"The princess is right. That girl Qianqian is very talented. Yan'er saw that girl Qianqian standing on the lotus leaf in the lake just now. Compared with her elder brother, her lightness kung fu is probably not inferior to that of her elder brother. The downwind, a woman in the world of mortals, is so powerful, Yan'er is really a little convinced, presumably that girl Qianqian is definitely not weak in martial arts, if there is a chance, I will definitely find her to learn from." Wang Jinyan walked beside Yunshang for a while Backward position, said with a smile.
Yun Chang narrowed her eyes and nodded, "It's really surprising."
"It's just a brothel that sells jokes, and it deserves your praise. Don't you think you are not as good as a brothel girl?" A cold and mocking voice rang out, Yun Shang squinted her eyes, looked To Cangyang Yu'er who spoke.
"A talented person deserves our respect no matter how high or low he was born. But Miss Yu'er, I heard that before you were picked up by the national teacher for adoption, your family background was not very good." Yun Shang's voice was flat and without a trace Waves, but Cangyang Yu'er couldn't help but change her face. She naturally knew what kind of identity she was before she was adopted by the national teacher. It was a compliment to say that her family background was not very good. She was just a girl who was destroyed by the flood before. Just beggars begging around their homes. It's just that since she recognized the national teacher as her adoptive father, she has covered up all the previous things. How could this be, how could Ning Yunshang know
There was a touch of pity in Yunshang's eyes, which made Cangyang Yu'er very angry, and her face was very ugly, "What does the princess mean by this?"
Wang Jinyan stood in front of Yunshang, blocking Cangyang Yuer's gaze from looking at Yunshang, and said coldly, "What is Miss Cangyang trying to do?"
Yun Chang smiled slightly and said, "This is in Ningguo, Miss Cangyang will definitely not be so ignorant."
Cangyang Yu'er's eyes were a little deep, she gritted her teeth, and stood up, "Miss I feel a little uncomfortable, first go to congratulate me, let's chat."
As soon as Cangyang Yu'er left, Yun Shang heard a sneer from behind, "It's just a foreigner, or a foreigner with the name of a righteous daughter, but a righteous daughter, so I want the world to listen to her, It's just too naive."
Yun Chang turned to look at the woman who was speaking, and saw that it was Li Yingying, an acquaintance whom she had met once on New Year's Eve.
Yun Chang didn't speak, walked to the side and sat down, said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, please sit down, Prince Jing's Mansion doesn't have anything to entertain, it's fun, why don't we play drums and pass flowers."
The concubine of Shunqing Palace smiled and said, "Let's watch what little girls are playing with. Princess, you can play with these young ladies. I will go to the pavilion over there with all the ladies. Let's talk for a while."
When Yunshang heard this, she said gratefully in her eyes, "It's still the concubine Shizi who thinks carefully, so I would like to thank the concubine Shizi."
The wives of the officials were all taken to the pavilion beside them. There were boudoir women who were less than 20 years old, and the atmosphere was a bit more lively. "Since it is drumming to pass flowers, then there must be punishment."
Yun Chang nodded, "Naturally, there must be punishment, how about this, I will ask someone to prepare a lottery tube, after the sound of the drum stops, whoever gets the flower, I will draw a lottery, how about accepting the punishment from above? But no one of us wants to write down the content of the punishment on this sign."
Everyone responded one after another, and the servants at the side quickly prepared their things, and handed out the lottery to the girls. All the ladies wrote down the punishment content and put it in the lottery tube at the side. Then they formed a circle and sat down.
While everyone was waiting for the servants to arrange the stools, Wang Jinyan quietly approached Yunshang and said, "Just now I saw that the maid beside Cangyang Yu'er seems to be missing one, I'm afraid she has some conspiracy, princess, you still let people Go and find out where the maid went."
Seeing Wang Jin's unfaltering worry, Yun Chang patted her hand lightly and said, "It's okay, this is Prince Jing's Mansion. Although it seems that there are not many servants in Prince Jing's Mansion, the guards are definitely not loose. Nothing big will happen."
Wang Jinyan nodded after hearing the words, and sat down beside Yunshang.
The drummer on the side was blindfolded, and Yun Shang smiled while hugging a silk flower, "Are you ready? If you are ready, we will open it..."
Seeing that everyone was eager to try, Yun Chang called out, "Start."
The drums sounded.
The silk flowers were passed quickly in everyone's hands. Suddenly, the drumbeat stopped. Yun Chang raised her eyebrows and looked at the woman who was smiling a bit reluctantly.
"This is the lady from Qin Taiwei's mansion, Xingsan, she is a concubine, she doesn't seem to have any talents." Wang Jinyan's lowered voice came over.
Yun Chang nodded, "Miss Qin is lucky today, she was the first to get the silk flower, so Miss Qin will come and draw a lottery."
Miss Qin's eyes wandered around the faces of the people, and then she walked to the lottery tube, drew a lottery and handed it to Yunshang. Yunshang looked down and smiled gently, "It's not difficult, just play the first piece of music." That's right."
Then Miss Qin breathed a sigh of relief, took the piano handed over by the servant, and played a piece casually.
The drum sounded again, and the second time, the silk flower fell into the hands of a woman wearing carmine. Yun Chang raised her eyes and couldn't help raising her eyebrows. This is also a worry, Jing Wen Xi.
Jing Wenxi stared at a pair of big eyes, the eyes were wet, like a frightened rabbit, "Oh, I'm not lucky today, I hope it's not too difficult a punishment."
Jing Wenxi went to the lottery holder and took a lottery, glanced at it casually, but his expression became a little strange. When everyone saw this, they gathered around one after another, but they saw that the lottery said, "Tell me about you!" Who is your favorite son?"
The handwriting is quite rare, and Jing Wenxi was embarrassed when he heard Wang Jinyan laugh, "I wrote this, so I thought who could get it, but I didn't expect Miss Jing to get it. It's okay, none of us can't keep a secret, just say it."
Jing Wenxi's complexion was a little pale, standing where he was, the tip of his nose was slightly red.
"Huh? Could it be that Ms. Jing doesn't want to say it? That's true. After all, it's her own secret. After all, Ms. Jing Yunying is not married. It's really inappropriate to say such a thing." Wang Jinyan frowned, touched the tip of her nose and said lightly.
Just as she finished speaking, a sneer came over, "It's true that she is in some inconvenience, but the inconvenience is not because she doesn't want to say it, or because she is shy, it's just because the person she likes is already engaged, and her fiancée is just now …”
Before the slightly sarcastic voice could speak, Jing Wenxi rushed towards the woman with anger in his eyes, "Wen Ruyu, why did I offend you? You dare to target me like this!" ?"
The atmosphere was tense for a while, but many people secretly wondered who the person Jing Wenxi liked was. There were many women who were engaged, but if they were not married yet, their future husband would be coveted by other women. It's really not happy.
Wen Ruyu snorted and raised her eyebrows, "Why, you have the guts to like it but don't have the guts to say it? You don't even look at what kind of virtue you have grown up, and you think Prince Jing will like you?"
King Jing... Many people have noticed the most important thing Wen Ruyu said. It turns out that the person Jing Wenxi likes is Prince Jing
Everyone looked at Yun Shang quietly, but they saw that Yun Shang didn't seem to care at all, her eyes were very gentle, and her voice was extremely calm, "Miss, today is the birthday banquet of the emperor's uncle. The grievances are brought here."
Everyone saw that Yunshang was so indifferent, so naturally they had nothing to say, but they couldn't continue playing the game, and the people who knew Jing Wenxi or Wen Ruyu helped them to the chairs beside them and sat down.
As soon as they landed, they heard a woman screaming from the east.
Yun Chang's expression changed, and the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
"Princess, something went wrong? I seem to remember that just now Prince Jing asked the chief steward to take the emperor to the East Wing to rest. The voice seemed to come from the East Wing..." Shi Zifei hurried over, her face turning pale.
Emperor Ning rested in the east. If something happened, they would definitely be implicated. Thinking of this, everyone looked a little bad.
Yun Chang pondered for a moment, then looked east, "Let's go, let's take a look." Then Qian Yin called again, "The prince may not know in the front yard, you go to the front yard and inform the prince."
Qianyin responded and left, and Yunshang led everyone towards the place where the sound came from.
As soon as Yunshang walked to the door of the East Wing, she saw Prince Jing coming over with some guests from the front yard. Yunshang hurried up to greet her and said, "Uncle, shouldn't there be guards in the mansion? Do you know where they come from?" What's wrong?"
Prince Jing nodded, "It's not the East Wing. The Emperor is resting in the East Wing. My king specially sent secret guards to protect it. It's the Tingyin Pavilion next to the East Wing."
Yun Chang heard the words, raised her head, and saw three words written on the attic of the East Wing, Tingfeng Pavilion.
Yunshang lowered her eyes slightly, hiding all her emotions in her eyes, and followed Prince Jing to the Tingyin Pavilion. Yunshang made a special trip to pay attention to the person who followed Prince Jing, but that person was not inside.
Walking to Tingyin Pavilion, the courtyard door of Tingyin Pavilion was ajar, and it opened as soon as it was pushed. There was still a man's outer robe scattered in the courtyard, and there were some strange sounds faintly coming from inside.
Someone's expression changed slightly.
Prince Jing's footsteps paused before he stepped forward and opened the door. Tingyin Pavilion is originally a resting room for guests, so the layout is relatively simple, it is just a resting bedroom.
Pushing open the door, everyone saw clothes scattered all over the floor, including men's and women's dresses, and a woman's bellyband on the screen facing the door. On the screen, two figures were faintly reflected. In a strange posture, a slightly suppressed voice came over.
At this moment, even the boudoir ladies who had been inside without knowing it also vaguely understood what was going on inside, and their expressions changed one after another.
Prince Jing's expression was very bad, and he said angrily, "I really want to know who would dare to do such a mediocre thing in my palace and pollute my place. Throw out a dog and a woman for this king."
"Yes." As soon as King Jing finished speaking, a hidden guard fell to the ground and rushed in.
There was a roar from inside, and Yun Chang slightly hooked the corners of her mouth. She naturally recognized the voice, and when she turned her head, she saw that the ministers following King Jing were all somewhat suspicious. Yun Chang looked at it, They must have regretted following Prince Jing, and some of them even took two steps back quietly, but the secret guards of Prince Jing's mansion are always very quick to move, and they didn't give them a chance. He was thrown out and fell to the ground, completely naked.
All of a sudden, there was a sound of exclamation in the yard, and many ladies in the boudoir quickly covered their eyes, and kept chanting, "See no evil."
There are also bold ones, such as Yunshang and Wang Jinyan, who only frowned slightly, but looked at the woman on the ground with the same expression as usual. Smiling happily, but frowned because of the sudden pain, slightly propped up his body, and looked towards the crowd with a little bit of confusion on his face.
"Ah, isn't this Miss Cangyang, the adopted daughter of the national teacher of Yelang Kingdom? Why, how come...here? And..." Wang Jinyan frowned and exclaimed, instantly letting everyone understand the person in front of him. identity.
Just thinking of the familiar man's voice in the room just now, I was even more surprised. How could this woman... be with him
Just as she was thinking, she heard a voice, "The emperor is here."
Everyone quickly came back to their senses, turned around and saluted.
Emperor Ning frowned and looked at the crowd, "What's wrong here? I heard the sound from the side."
Prince Jing frowned, and said the matter just now, Emperor Ning frowned slightly, his eyes fell on the woman on the ground, "Where is the man?"
Prince Jing smiled coldly, "Why don't you rush out?"
Then, the dark guard escorted a person out of the house, but unlike the naked woman, the man had already put on his underwear and walked out with a pale complexion...
