This scarlet-robed young man actually has a very outstanding appearance. He has a face like a crown jewel, a tall body, a very straight shoulder posture, a pair of bright eyes, and the young man's unique aura of energy flows through him as he looks at him.
No wonder some concubines praised him for his high spirits just now.
At this moment, he was holding a lotus in his hand and stood up slowly. Judging from his demeanor, it was obvious that he was from a wealthy family and had inherited the training from the court at a young age.
He is just born with red lips, white teeth, and delicate facial features. Because the boy's figure has not yet fully grown into the burly and generous body of an adult man, if he puts on women's clothes, he can really compare with many girls here.
"Although Concubine De doesn't like this child, he looks really good." Gu Zhen said with a smile, "By the way, whose family does this belong to?"
Someone from the palace introduced: "This is Mr. Yun Tao, the nephew of Mr. Yi Guo."
He also introduced the official positions of his father and brother. Like Yunxi Ke in the past, he was a local official who had been abroad for many years, and his rank was not low.
Yun Tao himself, like Ke Chaoruo, had only recently returned to the Imperial Capital.
The flamboyant temperament he developed in the local area has not been completely restrained. In the eyes of his peers, he may be a little arrogant, but in the eyes of elders like Gu Zhen, they really like his youthful and arrogant energy.
At this moment, Yun Tao stood up, bowed to Princess Zhaoqing first, and then said, "I know a little about sword dancing."
The skills brought out at this time, even if they are at the bottom of the box, are definitely not really just superficial.
So a moment later, taking a soft sword handed over by the guard, Yun Tao danced with a cold light and water splashing, as if it was described in the poem of the previous dynasty as thunder and anger, and then as the clear light of the river and sea. So many people watched with bated breath. After he stopped, he saluted again and returned his seat. After another moment, he applauded like thunder.
This is a treatment that the female guests have never received just now.
It's not that the girls are generally less talented, it's just that it was just starting at that time and everyone wasn't very open about it.
Furthermore, girls are reserved after all.
The chosen talents tend to be quiet and quiet. Naturally, on such an occasion, it would not be as exciting as such a hearty sword dance to arouse everyone's emotions.
Even if there were singers and dancers before, the ones they chose were polite, graceful and elegant, but after all they weren't enough to move people's hearts.
Not to mention that everyone was cheering at this moment, even Princess Zhaoqing, who was standing by the drum and pulling off her scarf, had her eyes flashing. She glanced at Yun Tao a few more times and said with a smile: "Are you...?"
She had a vague impression, but couldn't remember it for a while. Fortunately, there was a palace attendant nearby who reminded her in a low voice.
So the princess nodded and suddenly said: "It turns out that he is the son of the eldest brother's mother-in-law. It's strange that he is so outstanding."
Yun Fenghuang knew Zhao Qing's personality, and while ensuring that she was the one who stood out the most, the daughter was not stingy in praising others.
What he said at this moment may not be because he was interested in Yun Tao. At most, he temporarily remembered this person and left a good impression.
But Princess Zhaoqing was so beautiful that before she was even ten years old, she attracted many aristocratic children, who were vaguely interested in her. Today's banquet was the first time that the princess spoke out words of praise. At that moment, several male guests could not control themselves and changed their expressions slightly.
Yun Tao was obviously very happy to receive Zhao Qing's praise, and after being humbled, he sat down quite contentedly.
"This child is innocent and innocent, and I like him a little." Gu Zhen looked at him from a distance, took a sip of his drink, and sighed, "Such high-spiritedness is just a matter of snapping his fingers when he was a teenager."
The next days for Yun Tao will definitely not be easy.
Not to mention other people, just talking about Ning Guogong's direct grandson, he will not let him go.
That Ke He has been caring about Princess Zhaoqing for many years. If Ning Guogong didn't want to get involved in the dispute over the country's foundation and strictly restrained him, plus Chunjia didn't want the heirs of the imperial concubine to have to show their talents. Relying on the mother-in-law to win, she also disagrees with this marriage... I'm afraid that Princess Zhaoqing is no longer waiting for a bride, but a famous flower has a master.
The queen looked at Yun Tao with some regret and nostalgia. This young man reminded her of the years when she was so confident and confident at her own age.
It was only briefly shocking...
I don’t know what will happen to this child in the future
Gu Zhen calmed down and didn't think about it anymore. Instead, he looked at the next person who received the lotus.
While the concubines were observing attentively, Ko He was already whispering to his confidants at the table: "Go and tell the palace attendant who is serving Yun Tao, and try to get her to change in the back when she is serving her later."
"Young Master, you can't." His confidant was startled and said quickly, "This is the palace. You ladies are very shrewd. What's more, the one who is hosting this banquet is actually the imperial concubine! The imperial concubine is so perceptive. We will definitely hide everything with our methods. But her!”
"The imperial concubine has always wanted to marry Zhaoqing to this young master." Ke He said coldly, "I won't care about such a trivial matter."
"It's just that the young master wants Yun Tao to change clothes..." The confidant still hesitated. Of course he knew that the imperial concubine would not care about such a trivial matter.
But the imperial concubine is not a good person either.
She gave Koch such a convenience, which was equivalent to pinching Koch's hand.
By then, who knows what price the Ke family will pay
His confidants tried to persuade Koch to calm down, but Koch had no choice but to love Zhaoqing for many years. Now he saw Zhaoqing wearing beautiful clothes, wearing a silk scarf, laughing and playing drums. He was so lively and charming, and it became even more difficult to let him go. Thinking of today He hadn't even said a word to Zhao Qing yet. Yun Tao, a boy who had just returned from overseas, was praised by the princess. How could he endure it
Then he said in a cold voice: "Shut your mouth! Are you going? If you don't go, when you go back today, get out of the house with me!"
The confidants knew that this young master had no mercy when it came to Princess Zhaoqing. Although he was worried and considered his future, he could only leave in the end.
Sure enough, he found a quiet place and called a steward to make the request. The steward agreed directly without going to Zezhilou to ask for instructions.
Therefore, the first round of communication on the male guest's side has not yet been completed. Yun Tao is still looking at his love rivals with piercing eyes, and suddenly feels a chill on his shoulders.
He was stunned for a moment. Before he could realize what was going on, a palace maid beside him knelt down in fear: "My maid deserves to die!"
Yun Tao looked sideways and saw that she was holding a small bowl of snow-soaked dumplings in her hand, but most of the bowl was poured onto him.
This made Yun Tao frown instinctively, but thinking that this was the palace, he didn't dare to get angry and just asked in a deep voice: "Where is the dressing room?"
"It's right behind." The palace maid looked very scared and didn't dare to raise her head, so she quietly pointed him in the direction.
Although this scene attracted some attention from nearby, it was not worth interrupting the drumming and passing flowers, so Yun Tao stood up and left quietly with his attendants.
The concubine upstairs at Zezhi could see it clearly, and Gu Zhen couldn't help but feel speechless and said: "Our Zhaoqing is really beautiful. I thought that after today's banquet, there will be few people who want to cause trouble for Yun Tao. Who can Do you know someone but can't wait for the banquet to end?"
"How can we blame Zhao Qing?" Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "It is human nature for children to be impatient. When we are at their age, how can we be considered stable?"
After saying this, everyone glanced at her subconsciously.
They all have one thought in their minds: Others may not be considered stable when they are young like this, but you, Concubine Min
As for your series of achievements after entering the palace at the age of fifteen... Well, stability may not be considered stability, but the depth of the city, how can Koch compare
The queen didn't want to argue with the imperial concubine at this moment, so she only reminded: "It's better to send someone to keep an eye on it. After all, they are all descendants of the imperial concubine. If it's just a verbal dispute, we can just turn a blind eye and close one eye." . Otherwise... how can we not mediate? In a good life, there is no need to cause trouble. If there is a similar opportunity next time, it will be difficult to bring it up. "
Yun Fenghuang was actually happy to see Kohe causing trouble. After all, she didn't want Princess Zhaoqing to choose Yun Tao.
She was even a little worried, which Chunjia was happy to see happen.
After all, firstly, the emperor did not want her to rely on Princess Zhaoqing to win her over to Duke Ningguo; secondly, Duke Yi, a veteran who had stood by Chunjia from the beginning, was particularly taken care of by the emperor. Over the years, the emperor had often tried to ease the relationship between the imperial concubine and Yun. The feud between families.
So the best way to turn hostility into friendship is, of course, to marry Princess Zhaoqing, who is regarded as a precious concubine, into the Yun family.
This allowed the imperial concubine Aiwujiwu and Yunshi to settle their old feud.
Chunjia still believed in Yun Fenghuang's love for Princess Zhaoqing.
Otherwise, Yun Tao and his father and brother were well away from home, so why did they come back by such a coincidence
So let Ko He take action to deal with Yun Tao. He not only grabbed a handle on the grandson of Duke Ningguo, but also killed Princess Zhaoqing, who was suspected to be brought by the emperor to deal with one of the best cards in her hand... Wouldn't it be like killing two birds with one stone?
But what the Queen said makes sense...
This was the first blind date party, and the most important thing was that more than one of Yun Fenghuang's sons and daughters wanted to go on a blind date.
She is still responsible for today's banquet. If something happens, she will be the first to bear the brunt of it. If she doesn't tell her, similar banquets in the future will not be easy to handle...
Moreover, with her methods, if she allowed Ko He to do anything to Yun Tao, she might not be able to hide it from Chun Jia's eyes and ears.
With his mind spinning, Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly and said: "What the empress is saying is, Chen Jing, please go and take a closer look. If the two young masters just chatted, that's fine. If there is anything inappropriate, Please go up and try to persuade me."
Chen Jing accepted the order and left.
Seeing that it was the chief steward of her palace who was going, the queen nodded slightly.
Just as he was about to say something, he looked down and couldn't help but look speechless and said: "Why another one?"
The concubines followed her gaze and saw another richly dressed young man quietly leaving the table.
"Perhaps they really want to change their clothes?" Yun Fenghuang glanced at them and said disapprovingly, "After all, they have been drinking for a while, so it is normal for them to take advantage of the situation to tidy up."
The queen didn't say anything, but not long after, a servant came over to report that the man who had just left the table was the young master of the Yin family. He went to the back under the guise of changing clothes, but instead picked up a bowl-sized piece from the roadside. The stone climbed up the tree, seemingly wanting to hit Yun Tao when he passed by...
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
Queen: "..."
The concubines: "..."
