Chapter 83 Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet 4
Changsun Yun went straight to the guest house of the royal palace. After entering the house, he put Xia Mengning in **.
"I'm a son of the world. I'm proud of being smart, but I can't see that you are pretending." Changsun Yun put Xia Mengning in **. After taking two steps away, he held his arms and looked at the ** person with a smile.
Xia Mengning, who was named, opened her eyes at the right time. Seeing that although Changsun Yun was saying something to blame, she had a doting smile on her face, she couldn't help relaxing her mind. She got up and sat upright and looked at the humane in front of her very sincerely: "I'm really caught in the wind and cold..."
Changsun Yun stretched out his finger, quickly put it on her wrist, closed his eyes for a while, and said, "The pulse is empty. Although there is inflammation, it is not unstable."
Xia Mengning pulled back her hand and blinked her eyes and said, "Then why don't you expose me?"
Changsun Yun sighed and walked to the bedside and bent down slightly. Xia Mengning blushed a little and unnaturally retreated a little. The autumn wind was soft and brought the breath of the people in front of him to the tip of his nose. Changsun Yun's face was like a fairy in front of him. Xia Mengning suddenly felt as if he had returned to the moon night, in front of him. It is his unparalleled smile.
"You blush..." Changsun Yun bullied his body, holding the hollow decoration by the bed with his right hand, and holding Xia Mengning's body that kept retreating but almost losing its balance. The distance between the two became very close. Xia Mengning struggled unnaturally and tried to bring her reason back. "You haven't answered yet. What about me!"
Changsun Yun held her body with both hands, stepped back, smiled and said, "Because I don't want you to face them alone."
This simple answer made Xia Mengning a little distracted. How long has it been? She has chosen to rely on herself for everything. Facing the big wind and waves alone, even her aunt never said that she would accompany her. Now, this man actually looks at herself with this slightly distressed eyes and tells himself that he is not I am willing to be alone.
"You...in fact..." Xia Mengning opened her tongue. This state really made her uncomfortable. Why could she say thousands of words? She just felt so warm in her heart that she wanted to laugh so much that she wanted to cry happily.
Changsun Yun stretched out his finger and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly, "No matter what happens in the future, I won't leave you alone."
Is this a vow or a promise? Xia Mengning doesn't know or don't know, but she quietly said to herself in her heart. Only this time, let go of her heart once, accept the current life and live well.
Although it was not a big problem, Changsun Yun still let the girl decoct the medicine for Xia Mengning to drink. It was not until the luncheon began that Xia Mengning pretended to be much better and went to the front hall with Jiu'er.
When she came to the front hall, a girl led her to her seat. As soon as she sat down, Xia Mengning saw Xia Mengran sitting on the left. Seeing Xia Mengning coming, Xia Mengran had to pretend to care and ask a few words.
"The play that the fifth sister wants to see, but the sister can't make the sister do what she wants. The sister must feel uncomfortable, right?" Xia Mengning pretended to tidy up Xia Mengran's clothes, leaned over, and whispered in Xia Mengran's ear.
Xia Mengran's face suddenly became embarrassed. He thought that he could lead to a conflict between Xia Mengning and Princess Ziran, but he didn't expect that he was relieved by the prince and there was such a big limelight. Xia Mengran regretted it. Now that he heard Xia Mengning's saying this, it's hard to say anything more. He could only force a smile and said, "Sister said it. No matter what, my sister is frightened.
Xia Mengning covered the corners of her lips with a silk handkerchief, looked at Xia Mengran with deep meaning, turned around and stopped talking.
The place where the luncheon was held in Dingxi Palace was a hall. In the middle were empty dishes for convenient girls. The guests sat on both sides in order. Xia Mengning turned around and saw that it was Yu Ziran above her right. Seeing that she also looked over, Yu Ziran bent her lips and smiled. Xia Mengning saw the smile. There are too many strong ingredients, and I don't pay attention to it. I also returned with a bright smile.
Xia Chuanyuan sat on the other side of the table and handed a concerned look to Xia Mengning. The latter saw it and also returned a reassuring look.
"Ning'er?" Just then, Xia Mengning heard a shout and turned her head to see that it was Liu Shihan, who had not seen her for many days.
"It's really you!" Liu Shihan sat down on Xia Mengning's right hand, eagerly took Xia Mengning's hand and said, "I just heard them say that they are the young lady of the prime minister in the backyard. I didn't expect it was really you. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
Xia Mengning looked at Liu Shihan's sincere eyes and knew that she really regarded herself as a friend. She was a little moved. It was rare that she was born in a family but did not have the character of ordinary people to step down and worship high, so she also laughed and said, "I blew the wind last night. I felt a little headache today, so I went to the lobby in the front yard to rest for a while."
Liu Shihan listened and asked quickly, "It doesn't matter, right?"
Xia Mengning shook her head. Liu Shihan smiled again and patted her hand and said, "Last time we agreed to post and invite me to play. I didn't wait left and right. I thought you forgot me?"
Xia Mengning smiled and said, "There have been too many things in the house recently. I really can't take care of it."
Liu Shihan shook his head, "I don't blame you. By the way, I heard that your mother smoked spices banned by the emperor and was sent to the temple?"
Xia Mengning nodded, but Liu Shihan said, "This is good, so that she won't always bully you."
The two were talking when the king of Dingxi walked up with Zheng Hanxiu and Meng Xianya. After the three of them sat down, Changsun waved his hand and said, "Let's have a banquet."
The girls calmly served a plate of delicious food without a sound. It can be seen that the royal palace is well trained for the servants.
"Your Majesty, I heard that a young lady in the guest just now is not feeling well. I don't know what's going on now?" The banquet was going on, and Meng Xianya said.
The eldest grandson raised his eyebrows, and Zheng Hanxiu beside him said softly, "Your Majesty, this is the third lady of the prime minister's house. I have already seen the doctor."
As soon as she finished saying this, Xia Mengning couldn't make a sound anymore, so she had to stand up from the table and walked to the central body: "The little girl, thank you for your care. Thank you, princess, the prince, for your concern."
Changsun Zhi looked at Xia Mengning, who was standing below, and his heart was stunned. He quickly covered up his emotions and said, "It's good to have nothing to do. Go back to the table."
The eldest grandson Mo, who has never been silent, said, "I heard that it is the doctor who the son of the world personally called, and the son of the son is really a Bodhisattva heart."
There are people who know the situation, and there are people who don't know it. Now that Changsun Mo said, everyone's eyes fall on Changsun Yun, a concubine's young lady and an unmarried son. Doesn't it have anything to do with these two people?
Xia Mengning returned to her seat and heard Changsun Yun laugh and said, "My fair lady, the gentleman is so good. Prince Mo's heart is very broad, and he always likes to interfere in other people's affairs."
Changsun Zhi frowned and seemed to be very dissatisfied with his son's answer. For a moment, everyone on the table looked uncertain. Meng Xianya had a gloating expression, while Yu Ziran had an awkward expression.
Changsun Yun's words almost stated her position. Xia Mengning listened and bit her lip slightly without saying a word.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Zheng Hanxiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we have had an archery test at this banquet in the past. This year's lottery concubine is ready. Why don't we start now?"
Changsun Zhi listened, took over the topic, smiled and said, "Okay, take the lottery head."
A girl brought up the tray. Zheng Hanxiu smiled and went down to uncover the red cloth covered on it. There was a string of scarlet coral agate bracelets on the tray. As soon as it was uncovered, it attracted the attention of the people present.
Seeing that what he prepared attracted so much attention, Zheng Hanxiu was also quite proud and said with a smile, "This coral bracelet is from the south of the Yangtze River. There is a legend that this coral bracelet is a love gift given to his wife by the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Although the legend can't be fully believed, it also borrowed a good meaning today. Well, if you want to try it. Let's start."
Changsun Xinyue's eyes were shining and she said to Changsun Ye, "Brother prince, that bracelet is so beautiful. Why don't you go archery and give it to me if you win."
Changsun Ye and Changsun Xinyue were both born to the queen. A mother compatriots have a good relationship. Hearing this, Changsun Ye smiled and said, "Well, Xinyue likes it, and the prince's brother will have a try. It's just that most of them are capable in today's banquet. If you can't win, you can't blame the prince's brother."
Changsun Xinyue nodded happily. Yu Ziran beside her was not guided by the atmosphere at all. Her pretty face looked pale, and she was still stuck in what had just happened.
Soon, several princes and grandsons who were eager to try walked forward. The arrows were in front of the big tree facing the hall, and the distance between the hall was 50 meters. Each of them fired three arrows in a row, and the one who hit the bullseye won.
Seeing that the prince also came to participate, everyone's strength in their hands weakened a little. When it came to the prince, Changsun Xinyue jumped to the front with an excited face. "Brother prince, none of them hit the bullseye. As long as you play steadily, you will definitely win."
The eldest grandson Ye smiled, took the bow from the slave's hand, and took an arrow in his left hand, 'Sw, sw, sw."
Three arrows in a row, all of which hit the bullseye.
"The prince is a good archery!" Everyone came up to compliment.
Liu Shihan looked at it and said to Xia Mengning, who was drinking tea, "It's obvious that those people deliberately gave it to the prince. What's there to admire?"
Xia Mengning looked up at Liu Shihan and whispered, "That's the case. Her Royal Highness said that she likes that bracelet. Who can go up and grab it so ignorant of current affairs? It can round the princess's face and flatten the prince's flattery by the way. I'm afraid it's too late for these people to be happy."
Liu Shihan nodded, "However, the coral bracelet is really beautiful. Unfortunately, I can't shoot arrows. If only I could do it."
Xia Mengning heard this and looked up. The string of bracelets on the table in the center of the hall was emitting a soft light. The strings were crystal clear and beautiful, but she didn't know that her existence was taken around by these people, and who really liked her? What these people value is just her role at this moment.
Changsun Yun was looking at Xia Mengning. Seeing that she was staring at the bracelet, she showed a regretful expression. Looking at the prince who happened to win, Changsun Yun paused, his beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and an evil smile overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
"So, the winner of today's archery is His Royal Highness." Zheng Hanxiu said, turning to get the coral bracelet on the table.
"Wait!" Changsun Yun stood up from his own table, and his handsome facial features made many of the daughter present blush. Walking to Zheng Hanxiu, Changsun Yun smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. I also want to play this game."
Everyone looked at each other in con's sight. I don't know what happened, but Changsun Ye smiled generously and said, "Since the world is also interested, let's compare it. It's just entertainment."
Everyone just held the prince. Now when they meet Changsun Yun, they also want to compete, so they don't know which side to go. After all, according to the current situation, the only one who can compete with the prince is the prince. If he stands in the wrong team, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome.
Changsun Yun went to the front and picked up the bow. Seeing this, the family was about to run to change the target. Only Changsun Yun said lightly, "No need to change!"
After saying that, he took three arrows at a time, and only heard a 'swish' sound. The three arrows flew to the target together. Everyone stretched out their necks and waited. The three arrows seemed to have life and flew in different directions. Everyone was so surprised that they heard three 'bangs'. The prince just shot at the bull's eye. The three arrows were knocked down by the three arrows of Changsun Yun, and the three arrows of Changsun Yun were just inserted in the red part of the center of the arrow target.
