Chapter 735 Xian
Yu Wenyuan’s words brought an end to the sudden “farce” at today’s celebration banquet.
Yu Mingyue's face was pale, and even the brightly lit candles in the hall could not illuminate the haze in her eyes at this moment, but they clearly illuminated the uncertainty and loss; Yu Wencheng on the other side had already He shrunk his neck and did not dare to say anything. The ministers who had previously gathered around the two of them also buried their heads, as if they were remorseful and afraid of being discovered.
Fortunately, no one paid attention to them anymore.
After Yu Wenyuan finished speaking, Shang Ruyi immediately leaned over to pick up the wine glass on the table, held it up high and said: "Thank you, father. I would like to use this cup to congratulate my father. May my emperor The country will last forever! ”
"Okay!"
This is the third "yes" that Yu Wenyuan said to Shang Ruyi tonight. He was smiling happily, and he was actually happier than hearing the news of a great victory on the battlefield. He also raised his hand When the cup came, he beckoned to everyone: "You all raise your cup too."
The emperor spoke, but everyone dared not neglect and raised their cups one after another.
However, after drinking this glass of wine, everyone had different feelings in their hearts - although the ownership of Taiyuan's military exploits and the canonization of the prince made them all make a choice for their own team, but During this night banquet, it was obvious that some signs that they had never noticed appeared again.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has yet to marry a wife. This is something that everyone from the emperor to the ministers are extremely worried about. After all, it is difficult to establish a career before starting a family. This is an almost default state in everyone's mind. Originally tonight, Yu Wenyuan ordered people to personally bring Yu Mingyue into the palace. She herself was dressed up. Obviously everyone understood Yu Wenyuan's purpose, but they didn't expect that Lord Yu made mistakes from the moment he entered Baifu Palace. Almost none of the words he said were what the emperor wanted to hear, and almost all of them were on the verge of the emperor's anger.
After listening to the words that told her not to speak anymore, she knew that there was no way the prince's marriage would come to fruition tonight.
On the contrary, it is Princess Qin.
She acted as a dancer with the dignity of a princess, which indeed tarnished the royal family's face. If she mentioned it at other times, it would definitely attract people's attention; but her impassioned speech made people just He noticed her meritorious service and assumed the responsibility of a woman to support her family and country. This was what Empress Du had always wanted to do since the reign of Emperor Wen. In these troubled times, how could the emperor not agree that more people should be loyal and filial to the country?
So, as soon as Princess Qin opened her mouth, it was enough to crush Master Yu who didn't know the heights of the world, let alone guess the holy will.
It can also be seen that although His Majesty the Emperor has a suppressive attitude towards King Qin, he loves his daughter-in-law from the bottom of his heart.
However, King Qin and Princess Qin have not yet opened a palace and have been living in the palace.
With such a considerate and agreeable daughter-in-law by his side, it is hard to guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor will not slowly change his attitude and lean towards King Qin. This is not impossible. Moreover, King Qin and Princess Qin have been married for a long time. Once Princess Qin gives birth to a son as soon as possible -
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly becomes a little strange.
Some ministers looked at me, and I looked at you, and their eyes moved towards Princess Qin who was a little tipsy after drinking a whole glass of wine. She was shaking a little when she sat down. Fortunately, on one side King Qin's quick eyes and hands quickly supported her, and His Highness King Qin, who was killing decisively on the battlefield like Shura in a fierce battle, was looking at his wife with such soft eyes that they felt like he was a different person.
This royal matter, if we don’t go to the last step, it will be difficult to talk about it.
Thinking of this, the minds of everyone in the hall became confused. They missed you and I missed mine, just like the confluence of hundreds of rivers, creating chaos in all directions.
But at this time, everyone’s confused thoughts were combined, and no one was confused. Yu Mingyue stared at the glass of wine that she was forced to drink empty. It was obvious that the glass had reached the bottom, but in a daze But she still felt that the wine was overflowing, and the water was reflected by the surrounding candlelight, which dazzled her eyes even more.
How could this happen...
How could this happen! ?
She did not dare to raise her head, but her ears could already hear the cheers and laughter of the courtiers around her. As if to make up for the embarrassing atmosphere caused by the "farce" just now, everyone was talking and laughing, and they became bolder. There were also several generals who directly raised their wine glasses and drank with King Qin and Princess Qin. Tonight, His Highness King Qin's attitude was much softer. He would not refuse anyone who came, but he would not let Princess Qin drink any more, saying that she had already overdosed. The generals laughed and laughed, but they did not force it.
The atmosphere was extremely warm for a while.
How could this happen? how so!
Yu Mingyue gritted her teeth, clenched her fists hard, and her nails dug deeply into her palms. The stinging pain made her feel even more frustrated.
However, she still didn't understand - she was already sure of victory and could be canonized as the Crown Princess tonight, but Yu Wenyuan gave up just because of those few words; these people were originally uncivilized ancients. , it should be about three obediences and four virtues. Women should be reprimanded for any wrongdoing, even those who dip into pig cages. These are all things she has seen before. Why are they completely different?
Did she make a mistake?
But how could she be wrong?
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, but the same problem seemed to turn into countless thorns and bind her, making her unable to breathe, and she was so uncomfortable that she almost collapsed. Fortunately, her seat was at the back, closest to the entrance of the hall. Yu Mingyue remembered that Yu Wenzui had told her before that the banquet rules in the palace were not strict. If she was drunk or uncomfortable, she could leave the palace and go out to drink some wine. She was angry, as long as she was not called out by the emperor, so she stood up and walked out.
At this time, Yuwen Sui, who was sitting in front, also saw this scene. His brows were slightly frowned, a look of uneasiness appeared on his face, and he subconsciously wanted to get up.
But before he could move, he heard Yu Wenyuan say: "Kai'er, you also have a drink with me."
Yu Wenzuo immediately raised his head and saw Yu Wenyuan raising his glass to He, he didn't dare to neglect, hurriedly stood up, picked up the wine glass, and the two of them drank together; but before he finished drinking, several ministers toasted him, and he could only accept them one by one before he could sit down.
Looking back, Yu Mingyue was no longer there outside the door.
The atmosphere in the hall became more and more lively, drums and music were playing, and dancers walked to the center of the hall and danced to the music. Not only were they waving pairs of slender and jade-like soft robes in the air, , the colorful clothes and skirts are also full of the faint fragrance of wine. In such an atmosphere, Shang Ruyi's face became increasingly red.
Her drinking capacity is actually not bad, but I wonder if it is because of fatigue. Although all the ministers who came to toast were taken over by Yu Wenye alone, the banquet started The few drinks she had had made her smell of alcohol well up, and she gradually became a little tipsy. In addition, the dishes served by the palace maids one after another were all fish, which were so greasy that she felt a little suffocated. She sat in her seat. He frowned and said nothing.
After drinking another glass of wine, Yu Wenye looked down at her: "What's wrong?"
Shang Ruyi raised his eyes pitifully: "I feel bad."
Looking at her like this, Yu Wenye suddenly felt distressed and felt a little funny. He pursed his lips and said, "What should I do? My father is happy tonight. , it’s not good for you to go back early.”
Shang Ruyi certainly knows that as one of the protagonists of this celebration banquet, she must not go back early. He was leaving, so he looked around and said softly: "I want to go out for a while to let the wind blow away the smell of alcohol. If my father asks, you can help me round it off."
Yu Wenye nodded. , but then said: "Don't you want me to accompany you?"
Shang Ruyi immediately shook his head: "That's not possible, what if someone asks you to drink?"
Yu Wenye smiled and said, "Are you just going to leave me here to be drunk?"
Shang Ruyi also smiled, but didn't say much to him. After all, her chest was getting more and more stuffy at this time, and she was vaguely thinking. Feeling like they were sick, they waved their hands and stood up. Taking advantage of the opportunity when a palace maid came up to refill their drinks, they turned around and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the hall, he felt a cool breeze blowing over him. Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and felt that the turbid air in his chest immediately dissipated with the wind.
The whole person felt a lot more comfortable.
She breathed a long sigh of relief, and regardless of Yu Wenye's life or death in the hall, she walked forward slowly with the help of the lanterns under the eaves of the palace and the still bright moonlight.
Although it had been some time since she moved into the palace, and she had taken Shen Wuzheng and Pei Xingyuan on a tour of the inner court, she was not very familiar with the surrounding environment after passing Baifu Hall. After walking for a while, she saw a tall palace gate in front of her. There were many vigorous pines and cypresses planted inside and outside the palace gate, which gave off a strange sense of majesty under the moonlight. Only then did Shang Ruyi remember that this gate was the Chengqing Gate. After passing this gate, the Chengqing Hall was in front of him.
It is now renamed Chengqian Hall and is the residence of Yuwen Sui.
Shang Ruyi immediately stopped and prepared to walk back.
At this moment, a sneer came from the shadow of the tree. Such a familiar and arrogant voice made her heart tremble. Looking back, she saw Yu Mingyue's slim figure slowly walking from a tree. Walked out.
Under the moonlight, her eyes were colder than the moonlight, and she glared at Shang Ruyi with a bit of undisguised anger.
Shang Ruyi had never been a narrow-minded person, but Yu Mingyue's overt hostility and disrespect towards her still made her a little angry. She said coldly: "Master Yu, I am still Princess Qin. If you don't kneel down or salute me when you see me, what are you doing!"
"..."
"In your eyes, do you still have superiority and inferiority?"
As soon as he heard these words, Yu Ming Yue seemed to be even more angry. She sneered, with disdain and contempt in her words, and said: "Do you think I am really afraid of you? I am afraid of you...not because of you, nor because of your status as Princess Qin. Putting aside these, You are nothing.”
“…”
"On the contrary, I look down on you."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly became filled with anger.
Of course she knows that she and Yu Mingyue have been fighting to the death since the first "meeting". Now they have come to this point, especially when Yu Mingyue targeted her just like that in Baifu Hall, if she hadn't With the power of his clever tongue, he is afraid that his reputation will be ruined now, and he does not know what his fate will be in the future. Therefore, they all want to stab each other a few times, but Yu Mingyue really has no respect for superiors and inferiors, and has no respect for others as a human being. respect.
However, the more this happened, the more she wanted to maintain her dignity and dignity as Princess Qin.
So she smiled lightly and said: "What is there about me that makes you look down upon? Tell me and I will listen."
Yu Mingyue sneered and said: "You, when you marry a man, you actually help him take in concubines. , but also to persuade him to rest with other women. Do you know how embarrassing it is for a woman to say you are a virtuous person?"
