Chapter 84 Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet 5
"The son of the world is a good arrow!"
Seeing that the other party shot down his arrow so easily, Changsun Ye turned his head and said to Changsun Yun, "The son shot three arrows at the same time. His skill should not be underestimated."
Changsun Yun smiled carelessly, "The prince is too modest."
When everyone was surprised by the exquisite archery of Changsun Yun, Changsun Zhi, who sat on the head, was also a little proud. Anyway, he was his own son. Meng Xianya's face next to him couldn't help changing color. She looked at the eldest grandson who was sitting below drinking and took a fierce look at him fiercely.
Changsun Yun, a stinky boy, always likes to show off in front of everyone. It's the same. From childhood to adult, he can't compare with Changsun Yun. Now it's all right. This stinky boy is proud, and the prince must not like it even more.
Meng Xianya thought, and the palm under her sleeve couldn't help clenching slightly.
Xia Mengning didn't expect that Changsun Yun would compete for the coral bracelet, but his exquisite arrow just now was really admirable.
"It turns out that the prince is so powerful." While thinking about it, Liu Shihan, who was beside Xia Mengning, came over and whispered, "I thought he was just a playboy, but now it seems to be better than those Wang Sun Gongzi who deliberately gave it to the prince. At least the prince is open-minded and not hypocritical."
When Xia Mengning heard the words, she couldn't help looking up at Changsun Yun, who was in the center. Seeing that the other party was also looking this way with a smile, Xia Mengning couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and hurriedly lowered her head.
Changsun Ye walked back to the table and said apologetically to Changsun Xinyue with a depressed face, "Brother Prince has tried his best. Won't Xinyue blame me?"
Changsun Xinyue's eyes were full of disappointment. She looked at the coral bracelet on the table reluctantly and shook her head and said, "Xinyue won't blame the prince." With that, he turned around and said to Ziran, "Sister Ziran, my brother will definitely give you the bracelet. Can you lend me a bracelet for two days?"
When Yu Ziran heard the words, he looked at Changsun Yun standing there, and there was hope in his heart. Really? In public, he should still pay attention to his relationship with him. Thinking of this, Yu Ziran felt that there was hope in his heart again. He began to be happy on his face and nodded to Changsun Xinyue.
At this moment, no one paid attention to the fierceness on his face when Changsun Ye turned around.
"Wait!" At this time, the eldest grandson Mo, who had been sitting at the table, stood up and walked to the center. He smiled and said to everyone, "Since the prince and the prince have tried, I also want to have a try. I don't know if the prince has any opinion?"
Changsun Yun smiled softly, and a charming face made many people look straight. "Prince Mo wants to have a try. Come, take arrows and change the target."
The smell of gunpowder in the hall was getting stronger and stronger, and everyone noticed it, but no one dared to come forward and quietly retreated a lot.
Changsun Ye sat on the table, raised his hand and picked up a glass of wine and sent it to his mouth, with a grim light flashing in his eyes.
I took the arrow and bow, and the arrow target on the other side has also been changed. Changsun Yun raised his eyebrows at Changsun Moyang: "Prince Mo, please!"
Changsun Mo was used to being a modest gentleman in front of him. Everyone thought that he was just a follower of the prince, but they didn't expect that Changsun Mo was also good at martial arts. Maybe he wanted to challenge Changsun Yun. Changsun Mo took three arrows and fired them out. The three arrows were firmly inserted into the red center of the arrow target. The people present I was stunned. It took me a long time to reflect, and they came forward to flatter each other.
"What do you think of the son?" Three arrows were fired, and Changsun Mo turned around and asked Chang Sun Yun proudly. The latter smiled twice, took out three silver chopsticks from the girl's tray, looked up and said to Changsun Mo, "Prince Mo's arrows are really powerful, but in my opinion, it is a children's trick."
As soon as the words fell, the silver chopsticks in Changsun Yun's hand shot out together, and only heard three 'dangdang' sounds. The silver chopsticks broke through the middle of the tail of the arrow just shot by Changsun Mo, and broke the three arrows in half.
The head of the silver chopsticks is round and has no sharp head. Chang Sun Yun's movements really stunned the audience. Even Chang Sunzhi, who had been sitting upright, couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his mouth, showing a look of surprise.
Looking at Changsun Mo's changed face, Changsun Yun smiled and said, "Prince Mo, Cheng Rang!" With that, he walked over and picked up the coral bracelet on the table, looked at it carefully and said, "It's really a good agate jade, princess, I would like to thank you."
Changsun Mo returned to the table and looked at Changsun Ye uneasily. Seeing that the other party's face was pale, he was so re-eased and didn't say anything.
Zheng Hanxiu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, the test is over. Let's eat."
Everyone sat back to eat indirectly. Zheng Hanxiu asked the girl to call the dancer to entertain the atmosphere. Everyone was attracted by the beautiful dance and temporarily forgot the embarrassment just now.
Yu Ziran sat in his seat and didn't know how to put his eyes for a moment. Everyone knows everything about himself and the prince, but now the prince doesn't pay attention to himself at all. After today, he will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole capital. In this way, uncles will not be kind to their mother, and their own life will also Loss of hope.
After thinking for a while, Yu Ziran only felt uncomfortable all over his body and his chest was very stuffy, so he quietly said to Changsun Xinyue, "Princess, I feel a little chest tightness. Go out to get some air first and come back later."
Changsun Xinyue likes Yu Ziran very much. Seeing that she said this, she also wanted to go out with her. Yu Ziran shook her head, "The princess, don't leave here casually. Maybe it will be fun later. Don't miss it because you go out with me."
There are a lot of new things in the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet every year. As soon as the eldest grandson Xinyue heard this, he also hesitated. Yu Ziran stood up quietly, winked at her, and retreated by himself.
Meng Xianya was thinking about what to do. She saw Yu Ziran go out with a wistful face. Meng Xianya's eyes turned around and said to Changsun Zhifu, "Your Majesty, I'm going to change my clothes first."
The eldest grandson nodded, and Meng Xianya retreated with Wen'er.
Yu Ziran retreated alone and did not dare to go far. After all, she was not familiar with the royal palace. She slowly walked to the small pavilion behind the hall and sat down, dragging her chin to look at the lake in a daze.
If you can't marry the son of the world, I'm afraid that the empress dowager can't protect herself for a long time, but what is the purpose of taking good care of the empress dowager for so many years? Isn't it just to win her favor and find a good home for herself? Since the death of her father, all her property has been occupied by her uncle, if it weren's not for you. Still in the palace, my mother has been osted out of the house for a long time. Therefore, since the first day she entered the palace, my mother has told herself not to give up the opportunity, and must coax the queen's favor in order to get herself and her mother out of the sea of suffering.
But what should I do now? I'm already sixteen. Usually, my daughter has either got married or made a marriage contract at this age. The matter between me and the son of the son is just a promise of the empress dowager. There is no certificate at all. Now the son is not cold and happy with himself. What should I do if I fall in love with others?
"Princess Zi Ran..."
Yu Ziran was frowning and thinking about how to deal with it. He heard someone calling him. He turned his head and saw that it was Meng Xianya, the side concubine of the royal palace.
"Side Concubine Xian." When Yu Ziran saw the person coming, his face was faint. In fact, he didn't want to be interrupted by others when he was thinking.
Seeing Yu Ziran's appearance, Meng Xianya smiled and came over and sat next to her. She pretended to be concerned and asked, "Princess Ziran seems to be very unhappy. I guess it should have something to do with the son of the world, right?"
Yu Ziran turned his head and looked at her, moved his position, and the distance between him and Meng Xianya was much different. He said lightly, "Why, Xian's side concubine seems to like to spy on other people's thoughts?"
Meng Xianya covered the corners of her lips with an embroidered handkerchief and smiled, "No, I just prefer to be allies with others and seek benefits together."
Yu Ziran listened and was a little confused, but he just turned his head and looked at Meng Xianya and did not ask.
Seeing this, Meng Xianya coughed twice: "You want to marry the son of the world, but the son of the world likes the girl Xia Mengning. As a daughter's family, it is really inconvenient to deal with the son of the world, but how do you know that the son likes that girl, and it is also the son who the girl took the initiative to seduces herself."
After hearing this, Yu Ziran suddenly turned around and looked at Meng Xianya. The latter was very satisfied with Ziran's expression and said with a smile, "Men can't help **, and the girl looks like the previous one..."
When Meng Xianya said this, she suddenly paused. Yu Ziran also turned her head unnaturally. She knew in her heart that when she saw Xia Mengning at first sight, she was also shocked. Does the son like Xia Mengning? Because of this, as long as she is not sincere, she still has a chance. Besides, Xian The side concubine is also right. Which man can stand **, and there are several men who are not three wives and four concubines. If you really can't bring down Xia Mengning, you can be wronged to carry her as a side room.
Thinking of this, Yu Ziran immediately figured out the stakes and asked, "So you mean you want me to form an alliance with you? What's good for you?"
Meng Xianya smiled and said, "Xia Mengning is vicious. If she gets married, it will be difficult to deal with it, but if we become an ally now, then you will be our own person in the future. I will worry less."
Yu Ziran thought for a moment and felt that what Meng Xianya said was also reasonable. The main reason was that she was helpless about the current situation. Instead of being anxious, it was better to form an alliance with her. Even in the future, it was not certain whether she was her own.
Thinking of this, Yu Ziran nodded and said, "So what are you going to do next?"
Meng Xianya said solemnly, "If you want to get rid of Xia Mengning, it's natural that you can't be hard. We can let the world slowly hate her first, and then you slowly show your advantages. At that time, the world's heart will naturally be on your side."
Yu Ziran nodded, and Meng Xianya said, "In a while, I will ask the prince to compete with everyone. I will say what you are best at, so that you can show your demeanor in front of everyone. In this way, the prince will see your good."
Yu Ziran nodded excitedly. If he had the opportunity to show himself, he would definitely attract the attention of the prince. Even if he retreated ten thousand steps, he still could not attract the prince. With his talent and appearance, there would always be people who like him. Thinking of this, he said, "I heard about Xia Mengning. I'm the best at painting, and the others are just so-so. Then you will say that you want to test the piano skills in a moment, and I will definitely be better than Xia Mengning.
Meng Xianya nodded, "It's so good. Then go back quickly."
Looking at Yu Ziran's back, Wen'er asked, "Side Concubine, are you really going to do this?"
Meng Xianya smiled and said, "As long as Changsun Yun is in the royal palace for a day, there will be no day to stand out. Oh, doesn't that stinky boy like Xia Mengning the most? Then I will make a fool of her in front of the prince. Do you think the prince will let him marry Xia Mengning? Changsun Yun's temper is so stubborn. If the prince doesn't agree, he The father and son will definitely fall out. At that time, I will add a fire from it. Sooner or later, the position of the son of this world will be in.
