Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen Invitation (Part 2)

At this time, everyone around me, including Li Ying, stood up, so I had no choice but to stand up and look behind me. I saw Yu Wujian standing between a man and a woman, wearing a blue dark cloud robe, a jade belt tied around the waist, black hair tied high, and his slender and tall figure was more elegant and free compared to the grace and nobility of the two people around him. After listening to the greetings and greetings from the group of people around me, I realized that the men and women beside Yu Wujian were the current eldest prince Jun Luoxu and the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess who came to celebrate her birthday knew about it, and made a fuss about Yu Wujian to accompany her to the garden. With Jun Luoxu's support, the threesome in front of me appeared.

Looking at the shy and affectionate expression of Princess Nine looking at Yu Wujian, I suspect that Yu Wujian's appearance here was arranged in advance by the two brothers and sisters. "Won't the concubine introduce to Wujian, who is so beloved by Prince Rong?" Yu Wujian sat down directly opposite me with the nine princesses. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. me. Li Ying was still sitting next to me, and Jun Luoxu was sitting on the other side of her. After hearing Yu Wujian's words, she smiled coquettishly before saying, "Wujian, let me introduce you. The person sitting next to me is Prince Rong." The granddaughter of Prime Minister Zhou who married two months ago is now Princess Rong. Sister Yunxin, the person in front of you is the eldest son of the current Taifu, last year's champion of the new division, Yu Wujian. This Wujian has a stubborn temper, what do you say? I also don't want to be an official in the court, but only accept the title of Yushufangxing, which has no rank."

I gave Yu Wujian a gentle and generous smile, nodded my head as a salute, and didn't speak, because I really didn't know what to say. "I didn't expect that Prince Rong, who has such a sensational past, can still marry such a beautiful woman as Princess Rong. It's really a blessing." Yu Wujian said to me with thorns in his words, and the amber eyes flickered with brilliance that flickered on and off. "It's my good fortune to be able to marry such a noble and extraordinary man as Prince Rong." Not to be outdone, I smiled and replied to Yu Wujian, no matter how Jun Huangyue treats me in private, I should defend his dignity as a husband in front of others.

"Okay, okay, I'll talk about these lucky and unlucky ones later. Today, I invited you all to come to this garden to enjoy the flowers. You come at a good time, you are a talented man. Please write a poem that fits the occasion for us to enjoy." Li Ying took up the conversation with a sweet voice, and Jun Luoxu followed her to let Yu Wujian compose a poem, and the surrounding female relatives talked even more coquettishly, asking for it one after another, and the pavilion became lively again for a while. But Yu Wujian was unmoved, leaning against the guardrail beside the pavilion, looking at the garden outside with no expression on his face.

Looking at the aloofness hidden under his plainness, I sighed in my heart: He really is a stubborn person, and he doesn't even pay for the prince and concubine's account. He should have known that the man who kissed me so unscrupulously is definitely an arrogant and unruly person. It's just that his bookish appearance and the clear color between his brows often mislead others to think that he is elegant and gentle. "I want to show my ugliness and write a poem first. Please don't laugh at me." The soft voice of the nine princesses broke the embarrassing whispers of the crowd first. It seems that she really loves Yu Wujian very much, and she will come forward to ease him. The atmosphere is coming.

I have never studied poetry, and after listening to a few poems sung by the nine princesses, I don't know whether it is good or bad. I just saw that everyone around me was clapping and applauding, and I thought that the nine princesses might really have some talent. "Sister-in-law Wang is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Zhou, the daughter of Grand Master of the Palace Pavilion and Master Zhou, the great minister of agriculture. She should have a high level of literary talent. Why don't I ask my sister-in-law to compose a poem too, so that my younger sister and all the sisters can write a poem?" Be happy."

The Ninth Princess suddenly named me and spoke to me, a look of resentment flashed in her soft eyes, I was slightly stunned, could she be dissatisfied with me because of my refutation of Yu Wujian just now, the meaning of these words is clearly provoking me . I really want to tell her, adding a lot of names and official names to my name does not mean that I have a relationship with my literary talents. Are you unhappy if I don’t write poems?At this time, I seem to be able to understand a little bit of Yu Wujian's mood. The poems and texts should be inspired by the situation, and they should be written with emotion. If you are forced to write, you will lose your natural color. No wonder he refused.

Should I refuse like him?But I don't have the arrogant capital like him. Today is the first time I have appeared publicly in the "upper class". Will be looked down upon by them, so I have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. "I can't compare to Ninth Princess's elegant words, so I have no choice but to hide my clumsiness, but seeing the beautiful flowers in this garden, I would like to draw them on the spot for everyone's entertainment. Do you know how good it is?" I was really annoyed that the ninth princess gave me such a problem, I was unwilling to get close to her, and deliberately ignored her affectionate title.

"It turns out that sister Yunxin still has this level of talent, of course we can't wait to ask for it." Li Ying played the role of an excellent socialite to the fullest, supporting me enthusiastically, as if she took extra care of me, and I have no time to think about the reasons behind it for the time being. The servants quickly placed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the stone table in the pavilion. I picked up the pen and started to draw quickly on the paper without even thinking about it. I don’t know how many times I practiced the painting of flowers when I was in college. Now I can draw N pictures with my eyes closed, so in less than half an hour, I painted a picture of "Five Flowers Blooming".

Now is the season of approaching summer, and there are many kinds of flowers in the garden. I only chose five kinds of crabapple, iris, wisteria, viburnum and peony to paint with ink and wash, three parts thick ink, seven parts light color, faint and blurred. Not stained, ink is not hindered, the scenery of a corner of the garden seems to come alive on the paper. The surroundings have been quiet since I first started to paint, and now that I have finished painting, the surroundings have become even quieter, except for the slight sound of the wind outside the pavilion. "Good painting! My sister admires Mrs. Wang's extraordinary talent." The voice of the nine princesses resounded faintly in the quiet space.

When I looked up, I saw that her eyes were full of warm admiration, and the trace of complaints towards me earlier disappeared, and her bright and innocent expression was a bit cute. At this time, everyone around also followed the words of the nine princesses and began to praise me. Various expressions such as surprise, admiration, and admiration flashed across their faces. Looking at this situation, I knew that I had passed the test. I believe that no one will raise it in the future. What is it about competing for literary talent? Anyway, in this era, as long as a woman has a specialty, she will be regarded as talented. At this time, Jun Luoxu finally spoke to me for the first time, and he looked at me with deep meaning in his eyes and said with a smile: "A few days ago when I visited Uncle Si Wang, I chatted with Cousin Huangyue by the way. Chatting, he was very satisfied with his princess in his words, but he didn't answer when he asked the reason for his brother, and now he knows that his siblings are so outstanding in appearance and talents, no wonder he treasures you so much, cousin." I listened with a smile on my face, unexpectedly not only I can do superficial tricks, Junhuangyue can also do it, it seems that I have a good understanding with him in maintaining the superficial love between husband and wife. When I turned my head inadvertently, I saw Yu Wujian. He was standing in the crowd silently looking at my painting, with a calm expression and no emotion.The angle I was standing at was just right enough to see his perfect profile, his high nose bridge and his tightly pursed lips. Later, when Li Ying waited for everyone to appreciate it, she called a servant and asked him to carefully take out my painting, frame it and hang it in the flower hall, and then greeted us to go to the main hall where the dinner was held. When entering the main hall, I saw tall rafters, large columns, and embroidered curtains with red curtains, which are very grand.There is a large open space in the middle of the main hall. The open space is covered with red bamboo mats, and desks for two people in different styles are neatly surrounded around the open space. Princess Nine took the initiative to hold my hand and sat down behind the second table on the right side of the main hall, Li Ying sat next to me behind the first table alone, and Jun Luoxu and Yu Wujian sat on the first table opposite me. after a case After everyone was seated in their seats, Li Ying ordered the people to start passing meals, and after a while, rows of maidservants were orderly holding the food trays and placing gold plates, silver chopsticks, and rare delicacies on the table. . Princess Nine chatted with me affectionately, telling me that her boudoir name is Jun Yingxue, etc. I responded to her one after another, always feeling that there was a line of sight falling on me from time to time, but every time When I looked over, I didn't find anything unusual. Yu Wujian and Jun Luoxu kept talking with each other, and they seemed to be chatting speculatively. It took more than an hour for the dinner to end. During the meal, Jun Yingxue and Li Ying, who were sitting next to me, kept talking to me. By the end of the dinner, they and I gradually became acquainted. I thought today's party was over here, but Li Ying smiled at me mysteriously, saying that she had something new to show me. A burst of drum music sounded from outside the hall, and several slender women walked in one after another. The melodious music came from the instruments in their hands. I saw them playing or blowing or beating or knocking into two rows. Stand behind the people in the hall. Then came several dancers wearing long-sleeved dance gowns and gauze masks. These people stood still on the red poles in the hall and began to dance to the instrumental music. There were only ribbons dancing in the hall. The dancing postures of the dancers are soft and masculine, they cooperate with each other in a certain direction, the ribbons are flying and intertwined, and the long sleeves of the dance clothes interweave various patterns in the air, which looks extremely wonderful, even I The person who thought he had seen all kinds of dances also watched and admired, and the exclamation and praise of the surrounding women could be heard faintly in his ears. At the end of the dance, the dancers tore off their veils. I was very surprised. I didn’t expect that the dancers with soft postures and graceful figures were all men, and all of them had white teeth, red lips, and facial features. No less. Next, they rolled up the long sleeves in their hands, held up the jugs on the case tables, and poured wine and cups for the women after each case. Almost every case had a dancer like this, and the hall suddenly became noisy. Waking up, the women and girls laughed softly one after another, and the charming atmosphere gradually permeated the hall. I opened my eyes wide and watched this interesting scene. I didn't expect there to be a male publicist here. Lan Chao's atmosphere is so open. Yingxue next to me is shyly dealing with the male dancer kneeling in front of our table, seeing her bewildered look, I know she has never seen such a battle before. I secretly suppressed a smile in my heart and looked at Yu Wujian who was facing me. I saw a graceful and handsome dancer holding a wine glass to his lips. The dancer's slender waist whispered, causing the dancer to smile endlessly. It turns out that these dancers are both male and female. Yu Wujian's unrestrained, evil, unrestrained appearance completely shattered his elegant and gentle gentleman appearance. I don't know how many topics will be circulated about him in the capital tomorrow.of I turned my head to look at Li Ying beside me, and saw that she was also looking at me, and said to me with a narrow smile: "Sister, the one next to me is the boss of Zuilv Pavilion, the famous Ni Fei, he made up the wonderful sleeve dance just now, he never performed it for others, but today he made an exception for me, you should have a good chat with him." After listening to her words, I noticed that there was also a dancer sitting beside her, and that dancer moved over after she finished speaking, and sat down in the space between me and her. I looked at him sideways. He was wearing a bright red dance dress that was different from other dancers. The large cross collar revealed his beautiful collarbone. The color is like Wangyuan Mountain, the eyes are rippling under the deep double eyelids, the lips are thick and red, and the beautiful appearance is better than "throwing fruit Pan'an". He is definitely the most beautiful man I have seen in the past few decades. What is rare is that his beauty is seductive but not charming, flamboyant but not vulgar, and his straight nose makes him more masculine in the flirtatious. Seeing me leaning over to look at him, he didn't say a word, just smiled and let me look at him with a calm expression.His brows and eyes are clean and clear, and he wears a bright red dance dress with a clear and elegant temperament, which shows that he is a super handsome man with both appearance and temperament. "I didn't expect there to be such a dancing posture and such a talent in the Drunken Green Pavilion. You, the boss, have contributed a lot." I smiled and said to him, the purity in his eyebrows made me quite fond of him. "Drunken Green Pavilion's existence today depends on the hard work of all the members of the pavilion, and Nifei is just the boss." He continued to maintain a smiling expression, and his voice was as clear and crisp as pearls falling on a jade plate. "Young Master Ni is so humble. Since we are destined to meet, let's drink some wine to celebrate." I didn't want to chat with him about those unnutritious topics, and I didn't know when the Qi Ni in this hall would dissipate, so I decided to play something else. relieve boredom. Then I taught him the fifteen-twenty boxing method, and the two of us competed back and forth like this.He lost a lot at the beginning, but after a few cups, he gradually became familiar with it, and it turned out that I lost more and won less after playing. "Pause, Pause, Ni Fei, you are too powerful, a majestic man doesn't know how to let me, a weak woman, look, you've only drank half a pot, and I've run out of a pot here." Alright, drinking may be the best way to get acquainted with strangers, and I've gotten so mixed up with Nifei that we call each other by first name. "Okay then, I'll let you do the rest, I'll pay ten every time, you should remember it." Ni Fei showed a helpless expression to me, her beautiful eyes were full of smiles. "What's the point of this? Don't let me go. I'm sure I'll turn defeat into victory." I looked at him funny and said, I didn't expect him to have such a good manner, or is this a way for him to please the guests? I moved my body slightly, and I picked up a pear from the table, and when I looked up, I saw Yu Wujian looking at me with a gloomy face, with anger hidden in his eyes, and the dancer beside him was nowhere to be seen. I shrank my shoulders unconsciously, what kind of expression did he have, his vicious eyes looked like he was going to swallow me alive. Not to be outdone, I stared back fiercely, picked up the pear in my hand and took a big bite, and finally gave him a big smile showing my teeth. Nifei laughed softly beside me, as if she saw the scene where I was inseparable from Yu.I didn't care either, and continued to punch and drink with him after eating the pears.In my previous life, I was also known as a master of fifteen or twenty, so how could I lose to him so easily. After more than an hour of eating, drinking, and making noise like this, Li Ying announced that today's party was over.Before leaving, Ni Fei told me the address of Drunken Green Pavilion so that I could go find him before punching him, and I nodded in agreement. Yu Wujian left with Jun Luoxu long after I glared at him, and I didn't see him again until I left the Great Prince's Mansion. The distance from the main hall to the gate of the Imperial Palace was accompanied by Yingxue and Li Ying. On the way, Li Ying told me that Zuilv Pavilion is a famous restaurant in the capital. The building is full of private rooms without a lobby. The singers and dancers accompanying the wine were all men, both male and female guests were received, but they never performed. Today, it was Li Ying who made Nifei bring the dancers in the pavilion out to dance with a huge favor. I thought to myself: This Li Ying is also open-minded, unexpectedly thought of such a one-handed greeting to all the girls attending the banquet, Jun Luoxu didn't stop her, it seemed that she doted on her very much.And the happy performance of everyone at the banquet tonight also shows that they do not reject these male dancers who serve men in Israel. The upper class of a society can accept it so easily, so it is no wonder that it is popular in the market.
