Concubine Yue held a banquet in Bieyi Pavilion. The guests were all the legitimate daughters of prominent families in the capital, all dressed up in fancy clothes, because they knew that Concubine Yue had always talked about the marriage of Chen Wang Song Hanzhuo.
Such a large-scale invitation to various noble ladies will most likely be for the King Chen, the Prime Minister, and the Princess.
Ye Fuxun entered the palace for the first time since his rebirth. When the palace ladies led him to Bieyige, most of the noble ladies had already arrived, in groups of three or five, chatting happily.
Many noble ladies among them recognized Ye Fuxun and came forward to say hello to Ye Fuxun.
"I haven't seen Sister Ye since the last time I said goodbye to Tang Mansion. When I saw her today, she became even more beautiful." Wang Ying, the Minister of Secretariat, walked over and said with a smile.
"Sister Ying's little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
Wang Ying smiled sweetly, looked at the shy Ye Yili behind Ye Fuxun with her big eyes, and asked curiously, "Who is this sister?"
"This is my fourth sister Ye Yili, the daughter of the Zhongyi Marquis." After introducing Wang Ying, Ye Fuxun turned to hold Ye Yili's hand and said, "Li'er, this is the queen of Wang Shangshu.
Ying, you should call her Sister Ying."
Ye Yili took a small step forward shyly and called out softly, "Hello, Sister Ying." Wang Ying was also a cheerful girl, and then smiled and said, "Ye Mansion is really good at raising daughters. With Sister Ye,
Such a beautiful and generous daughter, as well as the charming daughters of Miss Ye Er and Ye San, are actually hiding such a gentle and beautiful sister Li."
Wang Ying called Ye Fuxun Sister Ye, and Ye Yili Sister Li. Ye Yunshang and Ye Jinyu were Miss Ye Second and Miss Ye San. They were clearly related at first sight.
Ye Yunshang on the side naturally heard Wang Ying's words and said with a smile, "Sister Ying must have eaten honey today. Her mouth is so sweet. It has been a long time since she smiled so happily." Although the words were neither salty nor bland,
If you listen carefully, doesn't this mean that Wang Ying is flattering Ye Fuxun?
Wang Ying smiled slightly and did not answer Ye Yunshang's words. Instead, she held Ye Fuxun in one hand and Ye Yili in the other, and the three of them walked away talking and laughing.
Ye Yunshang sneered and walked towards Xie Shining.
"Hey, that's not the eldest lady of the Ye family. How can she have the nerve to come?" A woman in blue saw Ye Fuxun whispering to the noble girl next to her. Although it was a low voice, the volume was enough to make every noble present present.
All the women heard it clearly. Ye Yunshang and Xie Shining were naturally watching the show.
Ye Fuxun narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in blue. The woman she recognized was Yang Jingshu, the daughter of Minister Yang. Ye Fuxun believed that he had no quarrel with her.
The noble lady next to her stretched out her hand to pull her, but she threw it away, looked at Ye Fuxun provocatively, and said loudly, "A few days ago, the noble concubine took Miss Ye's picture scroll and asked the prince if he liked Ye Fuxun.
Miss, King Chen refused directly. Unexpectedly, I saw Miss Ye here again today."
Ye Fuxun faced Yang Jingshu's provocation, smiled slightly, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "I didn't know that the imperial concubine actually showed my scroll to the prince, but I am curious about how Miss Yang knows so much about the things in Yunxiao Palace.
.”
As soon as Ye Fuxun asked, the noble ladies all looked at Yang Jingshu. Yes, the imperial concubine would look for portraits of noble ladies from time to time. These are not secrets in the capital, but it has never been said that King Chen has seen those noble ladies.
What words did you say when you were painting the scroll?
"Miss Yang, I attended the banquet today because I received an invitation from the Imperial Concubine. Let's not mention that I didn't know that the prince did not like me. If I had known, I would have come because the Imperial Concubine's life is really difficult."
Just as he was talking, the eunuch's announcement sounded outside the door, "The imperial concubine has arrived, and King Chen has arrived."
The noble ladies stood up one after another and saluted, "I have met the noble concubine, and I have met His Highness King Chen."
Concubine Yue was supported by Aunt Ding, followed by King Chen Song Hanzhuo. Today Song Hanzhuo was wearing a jade brocade python robe with a dark blue bat-patterned wide belt tied around her waist. She looked as cold as an immortal, and she didn't know how to stir up the presence.
What a noble girl's heart. When Song Hanzhuo passed by Ye Fuxun, he didn't even look at her, as if he didn't recognize her.
Concubine Yue sat down on the seat and said in a clear and clear voice, "No need to be polite, please get up."
Ye Fuxun straightened up and looked at Concubine Yue who was sitting upright. In his impression, Concubine Yue was a very beautiful woman. In his last life, the emperor held a family banquet and he had met her once. Today's Concubine Yue was wearing a large flower dress.
Peony and emerald green smoke gauze, Bixia Luo, a floor-length pink narcissus scattered flower and green leaf skirt, wearing thin gold silk smoke and emerald green gauze, low-hanging temple hair with pearls and jasper hairpins inserted diagonally, and a flowery face with moon-shaped lotus. The charm between the eyebrows and eyes is what everyone is sitting here.
Ye Fuxun had to sigh that Concubine Yue was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. She didn't look like a woman who was nearly forty years old at all.
As soon as Song Hanzhuo entered Bieyi Pavilion, he saw Ye Fuxun standing there with a low eyebrow. Thinking of what happened between her and Tang Yunheng on the street a few days ago, a certain prince walked over very arrogantly.
This banquet of Concubine Yue was organized for Ye Fuxun. From a distance, I saw her standing among the noble ladies. Her appearance was one of the best among the noble ladies. When I first saw Ye Fuxun, she was clean and looked very like Concubine Yue.
eyes.
She looked at her son secretly and found that the boy looked at Miss Ye's family from the corner of his eye from time to time, and she felt very suspicious.
Naturally, there was a lot of competition at this banquet, with each noble girl using her eighteen talents to win attention.
Ye Fuxun naturally knew that Concubine Yue held the banquet to find a princess for Song Hanzhuo. If he seizes this opportunity to win Concubine Yue's favor, then... As soon as this thought came to his mind, it echoed in his mind, Yang Jingshu's words, and Song Hanzhuo just now
Ye Fuxun felt disappointed for a moment because of his actions, and the thought naturally disappeared.
As soon as Yang Jingshu finished her dance, Song Hanzhuo, who was sitting expressionless on his seat, suddenly clapped his hands and cheered, "Miss Yang, your dance is unparalleled in the world."
When Yang Jingshu heard Song Hanzhuo praising herself, she couldn't help but feel happy. She lowered her head shyly, "Thank you, Your Majesty for the compliment." She then looked at Ye Fuxun provocatively and said with a smile, "I heard that Miss Ye is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
I also have good dancing skills, why not also play a song to add to the fun."
"Yes, the eldest sister has always been the most outstanding among our sisters." Ye Yunshang also spoke at the side.
Ye Fuxun, who was nominated, stood up gracefully and said with a smile, "In front of all the sisters, Xun'er's chess, calligraphy and painting are just embarrassing. My chess, calligraphy and painting can't be compared to Sister Zuo. I only know the surface of chess and calligraphy."
Well, she can't even compare to Sister Chang. As for her dancing skills, Miss Yang's dancing skills are comparable to those of the dancers in the music studio. Even the prince praised her for her dancing skills, so how could Xun'er dare to do anything here? If the imperial concubine doesn't dislike it,
Xun'er will play a song to cheer up the mood."
He was neither humble nor arrogant, his words were neither soft nor harsh, and he even hit back at Yang Jingshu in a thorny manner.
The palace maids brought up a piano, and Ye Fuxun sat in the center of the hall. He first gently plucked the strings and tried the tone, and then his jade hands were frivolous, and he saw the bright jade fingers playing lightly on the strings.
When playing, the sound is like a spring of clear water, clear and cold, and like a spring breeze that relaxes people... After the song was finished, Ye Fuxun smiled lightly and said, "The daughter of the people is showing off her ugliness."
Ye Fuxun played this piece very well. As she said, her piano skills were not as good as Zuo Qingying's. On the contrary, Concubine Yue's eyes deepened when she looked at Ye Fuxun. This girl is really not simple. What happened just now
After talking about it, he praised several outstanding noble ladies, responded to Yang Jingshu's provocation, and gave him a chance to step down. Now he hides his clumsiness in a song, which makes Concubine Yue look at her with admiration.
Concubine Yue stayed for a while, then excused herself to be tired and returned to the palace early. Before leaving, she ordered King Chen and several capable maids to entertain the noble ladies well.
As soon as Concubine Yue left, some of the noble ladies naturally became lively, surrounding Yang Jingshu and whispering enviously, "Sister Yang, you are so amazing. Even King Chen is full of praise for you."
Song Hanzhuo lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Fuxun who was sitting down, then he laughed loudly and said, "It is really an honor for me to enjoy such a beautiful dance today. Come on, bring me the golden walking stick and give it to Miss Yang."
.”
As soon as these words came out, all the noble ladies started talking about it. They looked at Yang Jingshu with envy, jealousy and hatred. Ye Yunshang looked like he was watching a good show. She was very happy to see Ye Fuxun abandoned by King Chen, so she could get rid of him.
Ye Fuxun's chances are even greater.
Song Hanzhuo picked up the golden walking stick and personally inserted it into Yang Jingshu's head. This was unheard of in the capital.
Ye Fuxun suppressed the strangeness in his heart, picked up the already cold tea on the table, and drank it in one gulp. The bitterness in his mouth spread to his heart.
What have I ever imagined?
Song Hanzhuo looked at the little person sitting there, drinking tea calmly, with no sign of sadness or joy in his expression. This made Song Hanzhuo a little frustrated. He, who had always been calm and self-possessed, would actually use such a childish method to irritate her today.
, yes, a certain prince did not succeed. As a result, in the future, this became a talking point, and a certain little girl was asked to talk about it from time to time.
"Miss, miss..." Qingruo waved her hand in front of Ye Fuxun's eyes, put down the cake in her hand, and asked worriedly, "Miss, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
After Ye Fuxun came back to his senses, he smiled and said, "No."
Qing Ruo asked worriedly, "Since the young lady came back from the banquet, she has always been in a state of despair. Could it be that something happened at the banquet?"
"What's going on?" Ye Fuxun picked up a piece of pastry, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile, "Who made this pastry? It's getting more and more delicious."
"If Miss likes it, can I tell the cook to do it tomorrow?"
"Okay, okay." Ye Fuxun agreed, and then said to Qingruo, "I'm going out for a while, and you look after your home. If Aunt Wang asks, just say that my cousin and I went out."
"Miss, where are you going? Why don't you let your servant accompany you?"
"No."
"Shall I ask Sister Qingyun to accompany you?"
Ye Fuxun paused and said, "Don't worry about me, I'll come when I go." After saying that, Ye Fuxun hurriedly changed into men's clothes and went out.
