127 I’m tired, don’t pretend anymore, let’s show off my cards?
Seeing Ye Qingchuan wearing plain clothes and a jade belt, he instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. Peng Huan and Shi Songgao both had smiles in their eyes.
So similar, so similar...
Not only did they think it was like this, but the officials in the capital headed by Mr. Li Ge also frowned when they saw it.
In contrast, the officials in the North, who had just become frightened because Peng Huan and Shi Songgao were embarrassed in front of the princess, were much more relaxed.
The Liaozhou magistrate even gave Shi Songgao a thumbs-up secretly, secretly saying that their brother Songgao really had a solution.
Shi Songgao also smiled heartily at this, and even acted more boldly while drinking.
Because under their careful layout, Princess Zhaoming, who was in charge, finally no longer lowered her head to eat the food, but looked at Ye Qingchuan in surprise.
And after seeing this, her eyes never moved away for a long time.
This scene was not only noticed by the people around him, but also noticed by Ye Qingchuan, who was playing the piano while secretly observing Feng Xi.
If he was facing other people, he might have raised his eyes to look at them, using his outstanding appearance and temperament to attract them, just like facing the daughters of merchants in Huaizhou.
But the defeat on the mountain that day told him that Feng Xi was a princess, and no matter how idiot she was, she was a well-informed princess.
There are countless people with outstanding looks in this world, but how many of them can make the princess ask for her?
Isn’t that good-for-nothing consort Qi Xiao good-looking?
Of course that's good.
But isn’t he not even allowed to enter the princess’s boudoir, so he can only be a consort in name only?
Therefore, it is not enough for him to just have a similar appearance to that person. His temperament, behavior, speech, and even his attitude towards the princess must also be similar to that person.
He had to hold on, and he had to be in sharp contrast to the submissive good-for-nothing prince-in-law.
Finally, a song of fairy music ended with Ye Qingchuan's full of calculations.
Although his piano skills were just that, under the influence of the surrounding atmosphere and his own appearance and temperament, he still won the praise of many officials present.
Especially the local officials under Peng Huan and Shi Songgao, all of them were as if they had honey on their lips. These smart people did not praise their piano skills and music, but they focused on their "elegance".
While boasting, he also looked at the main seat, wishing that he could instantly understand what the other party was thinking from the princess's expression.
Although the princess's expression has not changed much, they can conclude that she is interested because she has not taken her eyes away from the piano player.
In contrast, the expression on Prince Consort Qi Xiao's face was very complicated, not showing any of the arrogance that Peng and Huan had shown just now in the name of rescuing the siege.
Seeing this, Peng Huan finally put down the wine glass in his hand and said to Feng Xi who was sitting on the throne:
"Princess Sajia knows that she likes to hear people playing the harp the most. No, the Huaizhou prince lived here, which just gave the Sa family the opportunity to borrow flowers and offer sacrifices to Buddha."
Having said this, Peng Huan did not wait for Feng Xi to answer, and immediately said to Ye Qingchuan outside the pavilion:
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you come in quickly and give the princess a reply?"
Hearing this, Ye Qingchuan stood up from the piano, but he was obviously frowning, as if he was reluctant and aloof.
How can a scholar with such a strong character be ordered around by a eunuch?
It has to be said that Ye Qingchuan's performance was very good, which made Li Gelao and others who were also from the imperial examination looked at Peng Huan displeasedly, feeling that Ye Qingchuan was probably forced by Peng Huan and others.
After all, if this person takes one step further, he will become a real Jinshi, and he can join the court and become an official like them.
"What? Did Sajia tell you that you can't be moved?"
Peng Huan didn't care at all about Ye Qingchuan's resistance and the looks in his eyes from Mr. Li Ge and others.
The moment he said these words, the fans behind him even drew their swords to threaten Ye Qingchuan.
As long as this thing can be accomplished, he, Peng Huan, is willing to be the villain.
"Eunuch Peng, this young man has a good reputation after all. Don't go too far."
Li Ge didn't speak, but Liu Wanshi, who was upright by nature, couldn't help it.
Back then, he was unwilling to bow to this eunuch, so he was tricked by the eunuch and was forced to live in a poor place for two years.
If it weren't for his outstanding political achievements and the emperor's secret care, he might never have thought of returning to Beijing in this life.
Therefore, when he looked at Ye Qingchuan at this moment, he felt a sense of sympathy.
"Oh? Mr. Liu, what do you say?"
Peng Huan snorted coldly and had no intention of giving Liu Wanshi any face. Shi Songgao stood up at this moment and showed his peacemaker-like smile again:
"Okay, okay, isn't this just a matter of replying? Imperial Commissioner Peng and Mr. Liu should say less. Qingchuan, you see everyone is waiting, why don't you..."
Seeing Shi Songgao looking at him with some embarrassment, Ye Qingchuan finally glanced at Liu Wanshi gratefully and walked slowly to Feng Xi.
"My son Ye Qingchuan from Huaizhou has met Princess Zhaoming and all of you."
He deliberately repeated the introduction that day. He thought that no matter how stupid Princess Zhaoming was, there was no way she would not remember him, right?
As expected, the next moment he heard Feng Xi say:
"It turns out to be you!"
Ye Qingchuan was overjoyed and wanted to answer with a straight face.
Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, Feng Xi said again:
"The one who twisted his neck in Qingyun Village and could only turn his face towards me."
Ye Qingchuan: "..."
In an instant, Ye Qingchuan's words, "It's me, I agreed to put down my body and play the piano at the banquet just to thank you for saving my life," got stuck in his throat.
What is elegant?
What is precious?
At this moment, he could even hear the hateful laughter of some people who tried hard to suppress it but failed to suppress it.
But he has to endure it.
So he still nodded to Feng Xi and said:
"If you go back to the princess, it's me."
Fortunately, Shi Songgao and others on the side immediately helped and asked about the relationship between Feng Xi and him, and he was able to finish what he had not said before.
When they heard that he was repaying the princess for saving her life, he stooped down to play the harp at the banquet, and planned to leave immediately after playing the harp, not staying much longer. Liu Wanshi and others had a better impression of him.
At least I no longer stick to his appearance, but face him as a person.
So Ye Qingchuan not only left without finishing playing the piano, he also took advantage of this to stay in the Nuan Pavilion for a reasonable period, making the shameless Peng Huan and Shi Songgao nod secretly.
Of course, if you nod your head, you will still be in trouble.
Therefore, some of the disaster relief officials quickly got up and couldn't stand Peng Huan's behavior. They asked Feng Xi for instructions and said that they were short of people now. Anyway, the road was blocked by heavy snow and Ye Qingchuan would not be able to return to Huaizhou in a short time. He simply took him back to help them.
work.
Ye Qingchuan didn't say anything to this, and didn't even look at Feng Xi. He just showed hope first, and then lowered his head and endured without any trace, making people couldn't help but worry for him.
After hearing this, Feng Xi looked at the official who spoke, then at Ye Qingchuan who was bowing his head, and soon said with a sincere smile:
"OK."
Chapter completed!
