Deng Chan said disapprovingly: "He is the great general who drove away the Tartars from the northwest. Dad said that since the founding of the Great Sect, General Cheng was the first to drive away the Tartars so thoroughly. Moreover, he was only the second... At the age of eleven.”
Han Yan glanced at Deng Chan thoughtfully, and when she saw her talking about General Cheng, she became very excited, and joked: "You know so clearly, could it be that you are in love with spring?"
Deng Chan was stunned, her face turned red, and she pushed Han Yan away with her hand, looking angry and embarrassed: "It's all nonsense! Who taught you to be so bold? What are you talking about!"
Han Yan begged for mercy with a smile, and the two joked for a while before Deng Chan said: "Speaking of this palace banquet, we can meet many big shots. There is one General Cheng, and there are others."
"Others?" Han Yan asked casually.
Zhuang Shiyang had only a weak relationship with her. He didn't talk to her about North Korea-China affairs, and he didn't talk to her much about daily life. Deng Chan was the apple of Deng Shangshu's eye. Many affairs of the government and the public were not important, but he was willing to tell Deng Chan as a matter of pleasure. Hearing Han Yan's question, Deng Chan immediately pulled her and said: "The big shots in the capital, if they are young, are now King Xuanqing, Crown Prince Wei, the young master of the Helian family, General Cheng, and the richest man Jiang Yu building."
Hearing Wei Rufeng's name, Han Yan paused in her heart, and then smiled bitterly. In the eyes of the world, Wei Rufeng was indeed a rare young talent, but this young talent gave her a cup of poison in her previous life. liquor.
Deng Chan didn't notice Han Yan's expression and continued: "Jiang Yulou can't be seen today. He is a merchant, so naturally he can't enter the palace. But we can meet the others today."
Han Yan can meet her in one meal. In other words, at today's palace banquet, she will meet Wei Rufeng again? Thinking of this, I can't help but feel confused.
"General Cheng, you also know. Needless to say, the young master of the Helian family is said to be the most beautiful child in the country. He is three points more beautiful than women. But his reputation is not that good?"
Listening to Deng Chan's words, Han Yan couldn't help but want to laugh when she thought of the charming man in red from before.
Deng Chan saw Han Yan smiling, thinking that she was interested in what he said, and her interest suddenly increased: "As for Prince Wei, his name is Wei Rufeng. He is gentle, with top-notch appearance, and more importantly, he is polite and humble. , he is an upright gentleman."
Gentleman? Han Yan twitched the corners of his mouth silently, not knowing what expression to use to cater to Deng Chan's words.
"But the one who is most popular is King Xuanqing!" Deng Chan had already changed into an admiring tone: "This King Xuanqing put on armor and went into battle at the age of fourteen. I heard that he was General Cheng's master. Do you think, Cheng The general is already so brave, but King Xuanqing is even more powerful. Dad said that this King Xuanqing is an important minister in the court, and the emperor still wants to see how handsome he is. Moreover, although his appearance is not as good as that of He Lianyu, his demeanor is more Even better, I have seen his daughter fall in love with everyone here in Beijing, but it’s a pity.” After saying this, Deng Chan’s voice lowered: “I heard it’s a broken sleeve!”
Han Yan was startled, and then laughed out loud.
Deng Chan was stunned: "Why are you laughing?"
Han Yan shook his head: "I just thought, since you said he is so good, it would be a pity that he really has that problem."
Deng Chan pouted: "That's not true."
Han Yan was calculating in her mind. She had seen the most popular people in Beijing, Wei Rufeng, He Lianyu, and Jiang Yulou, but she was a little curious about the other two.
At this moment, I heard the eunuch at the door shouting in a high-pitched voice: "The emperor has arrived..."
Turning his head subconsciously, Han Yan saw at a glance that he was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, noble and gorgeous, followed by several ministers, slowly approaching.
When the emperor arrived, everyone present saluted. After the emperor signaled that he should be level, he led his male family members and ministers to sit down on the other side.
There were two long sumptuous banquets, with men and women sitting separately, separated by a crystal-clear glazed peony seat. The emperor and empress sat on dragon chairs side by side, followed by officials from the first to fifth ranks and their family members.
As soon as the male family members took their seats, the female family members became quiet. The lively atmosphere before was gone. The ladies unconsciously lowered their conversation voices and deliberately showed elegance in their movements. The ladies blushed and lowered their heads, while they couldn't help but look at the male family members. Look at the table.
Men and women are on guard at the age of seven. If this palace banquet was not special, these ladies would not have such an opportunity to see so many foreign men on weekdays. Those who have reached the age understand what their mother means, so they quietly look at the person who may become their husband.
Han Yan just felt dull in her heart. She raised her eyes and saw Brother Ming blinking at her quickly across the far table. Her heart widened and she smiled at him in an instant.
But as soon as the smile appeared on his cheeks, he encountered another strange look. Following that gaze, Han Yan couldn't help but be startled, was it him
He Lianyu originally didn't want to go to the palace to attend Lao Shizi's dinner, but he couldn't stand the scolding from his parents and heard that Fu Yunxi and Cheng Lei would also come, so he reluctantly agreed.
However, since the moment he sat down, all kinds of looks from the female family members kept coming, pounced on him, and they were glued to him. This look was familiar to him, it was nothing but admiration and amazement. Those usually gentle and gentle ladies of the boudoir were looking at him like hungry wolves looking at a delicious piece of fat, which made him both unhappy and disgusted.
He turned his head and happened to see a little girl on the side of the female family smiling at him, and he was immediately startled.
Although the little girl smiled cutely, he just felt bored in his heart. Thinking that she was another one who admired his appearance, he couldn't help but look back with disdain.
Han Yan was looking at the beautiful man in red over there in a daze, thinking that He Lian Yu would not recognize her, but he saw He Lian Yu looking at her, his eyes clearly exuding boredom towards her. .
Han Yan was confused at first, and then felt incredible. Then he noticed that the rich ladies around him were all looking over there as if nothing. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood something in his heart. He Lianyu might also regard himself as one of the women who admire him. But just now I was smiling at Brother Ming, he really knows how to be sentimental!
He Lianyu's appearance was indeed excellent. He is not as beautiful as a mortal, but a man can be charming like a natural, like a demon, like a fairy, and like a charm playing in the world. An ordinary daughter's house, seeing a smile from him, would be afraid of being seduced. I'm so confused that I can't find the direction. This is indeed the case. He Lianyu must be an expert in flowers, and he has never failed when it comes to women, so he is so conceited.
But he didn't know that Han Yan, who was opposite him, knew a truth after experiencing the lessons of his previous life. That is, you can't look at a person's appearance. She may be beautiful on the outside, but she may be ugly on the inside. That ugly face may not be so scary after all. Wei Rufeng looked so gentle and graceful, an unparalleled gentleman, but he could also watch the death of his newlywed wife. What does dough mean in this world
