Chapter 5 Chai Guifei
The weight of Yuer in the heart of the empress dowager can be seen at a glance, so for many years, there are countless people who want to use Yuer to compliment the empress dowager. The older the empress dowager is, the more disgusted this kind of person who plotted against her, so Wei Fuyan immediately wink at her as soon as Yuer said this.
The Empress Dowager seemed to hum unintentionally and sat down with the help of Yuer, and then said, "Don't talk about these chores today, let's sit in first!"
Seeing Yuer nodding to her, Wei Fuyan retreated and waited quietly. I don't know when more and more people have gathered. Wei Fuyan saw Zhou Yuanzhi standing alone in the corner and nodded with a smile when she saw him. The third prince, King Tuo, still looks heroic and domineering. He is asking his biological mother, Princess Chai, followed by a blue-shirted woman with red phoenix eyes, probably Princess Tuo. Zhou Shengqian, the ninth prince, has just come here and is talking with Zhou Huaiyi. He should salute the empress dowager immediately.
There is still no Princess Jingyu and Princess Peace.
When the queen, Chai Guifei and others came to the table, Zhou Huaiyi took her hand and sat down. His eyes were not looking at her, but his hand, which had not been released, was warmer than hers. Wei Fuyan's heart suddenly became calm, exactly as down-to-earth as the road to Luodu. She smiled gently under the attention of everyone and sat obediently beside Zhou Huaiyi.
After everyone entered the table, the empress dowager said, "My family is holding a banquet here today to wash the wind and dust for King Huai and Princess Huai. The so-called state-owned national law, the family has family rules, and there are also the rules of mourning the family here, which is a word 'and'! Princess Huai left her hometown and married from the State of Chen. I don't want to hear anyone say that she is not! She has long been no longer Princess Duanyang of the State of Chen, but the Princess Huai of our State of Li. If anyone can't remember this and make trouble behind her back, I will mourn her!"
It's not Princess Duanyang but Princess Huai. Who wants to remember this? Wei Fuyan lowered her head and smiled secretly. The empress dowager has indeed been in the deep palace for a long time. One words slightly put Wei Fuyan, who may be in waves, and everyone in the banquet waiting to watch the bustle. This is not like knocking on the mountains and shaking tigers, giving her the power of other countries!
It's worthy of being the Empress Dowager. It's just that the queen hasn't said anything until now. It's difficult for Wei Fuyan to measure the relationship between the Empress Dowager, the Queen and Princess Chai, so she dared not say more.
"Oc's it, this is a family banquet, it's all casual! Let's have a banquet!" When the Empress Dowager spoke, the song and dance suddenly arrived, and Zhou Huaiyi let go of her hand and seemed to unintentionally help her pick up a piece of cake.
Chai Guifei smiled more unfathomably. Wei Fuyan found that Zhou Huaiyi was the better she treated her, and Chai Guifei smiled more and more strangely, as if there was something that convinced her from the beginning that Zhou Huaiyi was just a play with her. Wei Fuyan knew that Zhou Huaiyi had a past, but he didn't know what the past was like. According to Zhou Huaiyi's nature, no matter how much he likes a woman, it is impossible to make a scene in the city. In this case, what does it mean for Chai Guifei and other princes and concubines in the banquet to laugh like a play?
"Don't look at them," Zhou Huaiyi whispered in her ear, "It's good to be your princess, don't look at them."
She looked up and saw that he looked serious, not a joke, and couldn't help shaking her head with a smile.
"I'm here." Seeing her shaking her head, he held her hand again and added in a low voice.
Wei Fuyan looked down at the hands of the two people with ten fingers and palms, and was speechless after all.
"The Empress Dowager," the enchanting Princess Chai suddenly said, "Although this song and dance is good, we are tired of watching it in the palace every day! There are many people who can sing and dance here today. Since it is a family banquet, there are not so many rules. Why don't we let us dance to the Empress Dowager?
The fact that Chai Guifei dared to suddenly interrupt the song and dance arranged by the empress dowager was naturally accurate. Zhou Huaiyi suddenly looked up at the opposite King Tuo. King Tuo drank and did not look at them, but Princess Tuo with Danfeng's eyes squeezed her thin lips and smiled sweetly.
"You are restless for a moment!" The Empress Dowager said casually, "It's up to you!"
It turned out that the Empress Dowager was very fond of Princess Chai, and Wei Fuyan couldn't help but look at the queen who was still pale. However, even so, King Huai and King Tuo are still evenly matched. The Empress Dowager spoils Princess Chai and Yuer, but she can't be sure to add chips for both sides.
The song and dance immediately retreated and left a large venue. Wei Fuyan suddenly understood what Chai Guifei meant. She took a look at Zhou Huaiyi, and it happened that Zhou Huaiyi was also looking at her. Wei Fuyan smiled and nodded to him, and Zhou Huaiyi also nodded to her.
Since when can we communicate with each other with just one look?
Wei Fuyan was surprised by this, but unexpectedly heard that Princess Tuo with Danfeng's eyes got up first and recommended herself: "My concubine is not talented, and I would like to dance for the Empress Dowager!"
What dance does she offer? Who doesn't know that Princess Tuo is pregnant? If one day King Tuo seeks to win the world, she will be the queen. Who dares to make up her bones and flesh? But once Princess Tuo can't dance, who else dares to stand up? It's not that she hasn't seen a knife hidden in her smile, but it's really rare to laugh as sweetly as Princess Tuo but with a knife hidden. She is worthy of being the woman of King Tuo.
"I know you are filial, but how can you come out to dance when you are pregnant? Sit down quickly, in case of any loss, I can't afford it!" The Empress Dowager waved her hand to sign Princess Tuo to sit down.
"Why not..." Chai Guifei's eyes turned and smiled lightly.
Wei Fuyan was about to rise, but he heard Chai Guifei continue to say, "I have heard for a long time that Cixuhou has excellent piano skills, but Cixuhou has been traveling abroad, so I have never been lucky to hear of it. Can you bother me to play a song for you today?
The darkness in Zhou Huaiyi's eyes immediately deepened. Wei Fuyan could feel Zhou Huaiyi's suppressed anger in her short hands. She didn't expect that Chai Guifei would be so bold, and Zhou Huaiyi dared to drag Zhou Yuan in front of her!
A group of people had different faces, some unknown reasons, and waited for a good play. Zhou Yuanzhi was named, but he still smiled as warmly. He got up and saluted the empress dowager and said, "It's really an honor."
Zhou Yuanzhi naturally knew what these people were waiting for. Instead of covering up and making people guess, it was better to take the initiative to make it clear. Wei Fuyan understood his thoughts, so he secretly clenched Zhou Huaiyi's hand and nodded to him gently. Zhou Huaiyi rolled his dark face and stared at the king in front of him for a long time without letting go.
"Although the solo song is elegant, it is a little less lively!" Princess Chai looked at Wei Fuyan with regret and said, "It's a pity that Princess Tuo has a body and doesn't have this blessing to please the Empress Dowager!"
The queen, who had never spoken, suddenly said lightly, "It's the same for Princess Huai."
If you don't dance, it's against the order, and dancing is a joke. Wei Fuyan looked at Zhou Huaiyi slowly breaking free from his hand and saluted and said, "It's such a concubine to be ugly!"
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Wei Fuyan. The Empress Dowager seemed to be a little hesitant, but finally said "Okay" with a smile. Wei Fuyan saluted again and walked to the middle and looked at Chai Guifei with a smile and said, "I have heard for a long time that King Tuo is brave and good at fighting. I have been in my teens to kill the enemy and defend my country, and I have always admired it. Since this concubine came out to show her ugly, she is the inconvenient Princess Tuo. In addition to cheering for everyone and praying for the Empress Dowager, this dance should also wish Princess Tuo and her mother and son safe, and wish His Royal Highness King Tuo another battle on the battlefield and be invincible!"
The reason why Wei Fuyan wants to involve King Tuo is to make everyone ignore Zhou Yuanzhi, but Zhou Yuanzhi suddenly took the initiative to ask, "I don't know what dance Princess Huai wants to perform?" Or what song should my subordinates play?"
He doesn't want her to offend Chai Guifei? Wei Fuyan was satisfactory and smiled at Zhou Yuanzhi and said, "Bian Sai Ge. So I don't know if I can borrow the king's sword?"
You are not allowed to bring weapons into the palace, but King Tuo always carries a sword, which can be seen by the emperor. Junlang, the king of Tuo, smiled and presented the sword and said, "Since it is praying for the Empress Dowager and my family, this sword must be borrowed, please!"
Wei Fuyan came forward and picked up his sword and smiled, "Thank you, King Tuo!"
Zhou Yuanzhi pressed the strings with his fingers and nodded to Wei Fuyan, and the two began. Zhou Yuan's piano is sometimes as low as a drum beating, sometimes as high as shouting in the battlefield, sometimes as sad as ghosts crying and wolves, and sometimes as gentle as homesickness. What Chai Guifei said is true, and Zhou Yuan's exquisite piano skills and Wei Fuyan have seen nothing in his life.
Zhou Huai drank without changing his face. He remembered that some people had said that Wei Fuyan's martial arts were also mediocre. Later, this sentence even became the reason why he was angry with her, but at this moment he knew that Wei Fuyan really knew some martial arts moves. When Wei Fuyan proposed to dance the sword, he understood her intention: it would be natural for the two to have an excessive tacit understanding, but if she deliberately danced badly, it would be even more serious to have swept away the Empress Dowager's interest. Sword dance focuses on momentum and moves, which can make people ignore the connection between sword dance and the sound of the piano, but also looks ingenious. It's really a good way.
The red dress in front of her is still like a fairy. Her movements are still like singing and dancing, but with a sharp sword, the momentum is different. Such a combination of strength and softness is just right. With the unique sound of the piano in the world last week, it is really eye-catching.
King Tuo's shortness is opposite Zhou Huaiyi, and he can almost understand King Tuo's look and mind. King Tuo was born to love all the seemingly perfect best, from a piece of jade to a battle or even a woman. The concubine and concubine on the side of King Tuo seemed to be few but could not be underestimated, and now his eyes fell on the dancing Wei Fuyan, looking exactly the same as when he first saw Princess Tuo.
Zhou Huaiyi didn't know how to explain his anger. The opposite Tuo Wang was just like looking at Wei Fuyan intoxicatedly. The second virtual marquis beside him was fully cooperating with her dance steps. Everyone around him was waiting to see their jokes, and he was just sitting here!
Next to Tuo Wang nodded repeatedly and suddenly stepped on the beat and said loudly, "The knife is like snow, the horse is like flying, a sword in the ten-mile battlefield is red, and the wind and moon are boundless."
When the sound of Zhou Yuan's piano changed from urgent to slowdown, the long sword in Wei Fuyan's hand also echoed. "The knife is like snow, and the horse is like flying" long sword brushed through the wind and snow, and the sword is red. The long sword suddenly turned to recover Luo skirt like blood splashing, but in a blink of an eye, the gentle posture blooms like flowers, to the "wind and moon are boundless" Zhou Huaiyiqin The sound seemed to come from thousands of miles away, and Wei Fuyan put away his long sword and waved it gently like a weak willow. The piano, dance and words are just right, and even people who are as interested as the queen can't take their eyes off.
