Talk about lovesickness late at night

Before Wushuang went out, she had deliberately smeared her face dirty, and now she took a peek at Qianxue.

I saw her holding the crimson cloak, dragging it behind her for a long time, fluttering with the wind.She was dressed in a goose-yellow exquisite palace dress that outlined her figure exquisitely, and she wore a bright red floor-sweeping robe, which was elegant and grand at the same time.

She likes to dress up, put on glamorous makeup, and walked from outside the palace, her embroidered shoes stepped on the red carpet, her figure swaying, as beautiful as a red rose in full bloom.

Followed by a long guard of honor, the posture is like a princess getting married.As a result, many princes from neighboring countries were disturbed.

With a loving smile on her face, the queen mother said that the princess had grown up.The emperor was also overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to signal for Qian Xue to sit beside her.Unexpectedly, the child was used to mischief, so he disregarded the dignity of the princess and sat beside Xiao Junyi instead.

"Qianxue..." The emperor called her over.

"Father, I think this place is good, so I just sit here." Qian Xue said with a smile, not caring about Xiao Junyi's cold face.

The emperor said seriously: "Don't mess around, how can it affect the general and everyone's joy, come quickly!"

"No, I just like this place." Qianxue coquettishly refused to leave, and even pulled Xiao Junyi's arm to avoid suspicion, "Brother Junyi, today is my birthday, what gift do you give me?"

Normally, Xiao Junyi would not bother to talk to her, but today is different.

In front of the empress dowager and the emperor, in front of civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty and foreign envoys, Xiao Junyi really didn't want to embarrass her, so he poured two glasses of wine, handed one to her, stood up and said respectfully: "The last general wishes the princess Happy birthday, Bliss and health!"

He deliberately emphasized respect and inferiority, and deliberately alienated her. Qianxue was not a fool, so she naturally understood.But for the first time, even if it was just a simple sentence, she was very happy that he could speak in such a soft voice.

"Brother Xie Junyi!" Qianxue smiled and drank the wine in the glass, "Your blessing is better than any birthday present!"

In a word, the treasures given to the princess by foreign guests instantly paled in color.

The princess of a country was so disrespectful in words and deeds, the emperor was a little displeased, before she could speak, Xiao Junyi smoothed things over for her and said: "Princess, what are you joking about, you haven't seen those gifts yet, if you do, you will definitely like them. "

"What's so interesting, isn't it..." Qianxue's face was full of indifference, but when she saw Xiao Junyi's face darken, she suddenly didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing the emperor's favorite princess clinging to Xiao Junyi, the queen was very happy, and persuaded the emperor in a low voice: "Qianxue, this child, can only listen to General Xiao's words. Anyway, today is also Qianxue's birthday, and the birthday is the oldest, she loves to be there Sit down, let her do it!"

"It's up to her, and it's up to her, you've spoiled them all!"

The emperor was very displeased, and tried his best to bear it in front of everyone.Sternly said: "Qianxue, sit back in your seat for me."

Qianxue really didn't understand why her father hated her being close to Xiao Junyi so much?He couldn't help but willfully said: "Father said earlier that on my birthday, I can do whatever I like."

She really dared to talk back, Wushuang broke into a cold sweat for Qianxue.

On weekdays, all the princes are filial to the emperor with trepidation, lest he will be unhappy, but Qianxue is lucky, she is born to be bold.

The surroundings were suddenly very quiet, and the originally festive atmosphere became a little stiff.

The two sides were at a stalemate. Although Qianxue knew she was wrong, seeing the concubine and other princesses were there, she couldn't hold back her face for a while.

"Imperial sister's birthday, the imperial brother has nothing to give, so let's play a piece of music to cheer up!" Xiao Xuanyu smiled lightly to break the silence, and pointed to the Qintai Pavilion above the emperor's seat, "The imperial sister is sitting so far away, I am sure you can hear me clearly ?"

This was clearly for her to step down. Even though she was reluctant to let go of Xiao Junyi, Qianxue did not dare to continue to anger the emperor, so she hurriedly sat back and said with a smile: "Thank you, fifth brother, I have always heard my father praise your piano skills." Gao, my sister has an ear blessing today!"

Xiao Xuanyu smiled, but did not answer.

Soon, they arrived at the elegantly furnished Qintai Pavilion on the second floor. Standing aside, Wushuang listened to the graceful piano sound flowing from Xiao Xuanyu's slender fingertips, which was pleasant and familiar.

The entire Yugan Palace was enveloped by the melodious and brisk sound of the piano.

Qianxue got up to toast, thanked the ministers for their congratulations and the foreign guests who came from afar, everyone drank the wine, put the previous unhappiness behind, sat down and chatted happily, listened to the piano and enjoyed the dance, very happy.

The Qintai Pavilion on the second floor was extremely deserted, except for Wushuang and Xiao Xuanyu, there were only two young eunuchs left.

As if the joy in the palace had nothing to do with him, Xiao Xuanyu stroked the zither, looking calm and at ease.

Wushuang stood at the side uninterestedly. The advantage of this loft is that she can clearly see every move of the people below, but the people below may not be.

Wu Shuang has always liked playing the piano, and seeing Xiao Xuanyu playing it, he couldn't help being a little moved, but on such occasions, if you don't want your identity to be exposed, you'd better be honest.

During the banquet, after being scolded by the emperor for matching Xiao Junyi and Qian Xue, the empress felt unhappy and dared not speak again.But if you miss this opportunity, it’s hard to find a good time, so you can’t help but say to the emperor: "Princess’s birthday is so lively. Brothers and sisters gather together, but the eldest prince is missing. This child has lost his mother since he was a child, and now he is confined in the mansion. The emperor should understand. The concubine is also a mother, and I really can't bear to see him like this, so I am bold enough to ask the emperor to allow him to attend. First, to fulfill the brother and sister relationship between him and Qian Xue. I won’t dare to mess around in the future.”

The emperor's face changed slightly, but he saw that the empress' son Xiao Xuanchi also said that he wanted to see the elder brother, and he was grateful for his brother's love for a moment, and he couldn't help but felt compassion.

"Sure." The emperor responded lightly, turned his head and hugged Xiao Xuanchi with a smile on his face.

His Highness's singing and dancing remained the same, and did not stop for a moment due to the conversation of the masters. Wushuang clearly heard that Xiao Xuanyu's piano sound became more and more chaotic.

This is the second time for Xiao Xuanyu to play this song. The first time was the night when she first entered the capital and Feng Guanxia was living in Hengwang's mansion.They played together, and she was surprised that Xiao Xuanyu knew this piece.Maybe it's just a coincidence, just like Wushuang doesn't know why he can play.

The tune and the melody seem to be in my mind, and I can't forget it no matter what.But she just forgot her past, her childhood.

The memory of before the age of seven is very vague, she knew that Qing Dai was not her own mother, and Qing Dai never concealed it.

Wushuang remembered that she had a mother and an older brother, but Qing Dai said that when she met her, a woman protected her with flesh and blood, which saved her from the disaster. , Qing Dai said, only a mother can sacrifice her life to protect each other like this.

Wushuang always thought that her biological mother was dead, but as for her elder brother, Qing Dai said she didn't know.

And in the years that followed, Wushuang went away with Qingdai and lived in Yuzhou. Those distant and fragmented memories became more and more blurred. She even began to wonder if it was just a dream of her own. She longed for someone to protect her. I only imagined a brother by myself!

After a while, the eldest prince appeared, and Xiao Xuanyu was so confused that he was actually cut by the strings of the zither.

"My lord..." Wu Shuang was very worried, bright red blood gushed out, the strings were not broken, Xiao Xuanyu continued to play regardless.

The Eldest Prince Xiao Xuanhong came into the palace with a haggard look. After thanking the emperor for his kindness and congratulating the princess, he took his seat.

He was rarely so honest and quiet, the emperor didn't know whether to be happy or sad.Looking around, the children are all there, and my heart is much more at ease.

The birthday celebration lasted until midnight, and the foreign guests and most of the courtiers left one after another, and the palace banquet gradually became a family banquet.

The emperor was in a very good mood tonight, drank a lot of wine, his face was full of red.Apart from the family members, only Situ and his son and Xiao Junyi were left in the hall.

They are the right and left hands of the emperor. With them in civil and military affairs, the emperor is at ease.

The queen mother was tired, so she went back to the palace to go to bed.

The emperor looked at Situ and his son, praised Situ Liansheng, and then asked his father, Situ Zhong: "I'm so confused, how old is your son?"

"It's just a weak crown." Situ Zhong replied.

"It turned out to be 20 years old in a flash, and it's time to start a family and start a business."

The emperor's words shocked everyone.

The intention of bestowing marriage had already begun to emerge. The princesses lowered their heads and blushed, thinking that if they could marry into Situ's family, such a handsome man would naturally be the best belonging.

However, Lian Sheng had no intention of climbing high, and hurriedly said: "The minister has been away for many years, and he is free and carefree. He is used to being idle and has no intention of starting a family. Besides, the minister is at the stage of starting a career and has no time to care about other things."

"You can't say that, you have to start a family before starting a career. When I was your age, I already had a prince." The emperor smiled and asked pretendingly, "Do you have someone you like who needs a marriage from me?" yes?"

Hearing this, Lian Cheng and Xiao Junyi subconsciously glanced upstairs, Wushuang kept his head down, flustered and flustered.And Xiao Xuanyu's hand was bleeding all the time, but he still played the faint melody stubbornly.

Besides, the Qintai Pavilion is above the main seat, the emperor thought that Lian Cheng was looking at Qianxue, and suddenly his face was overjoyed, and said: "I understand."

Before Lian Cheng could say no, he couldn't help being surprised: "What does the emperor understand?"

"You and Qianxue are indeed a good match. Although I don't want to part with her, she is sixteen after all, and she is going to marry after all..."

Before the emperor finished speaking, Qianxue jumped out dissatisfied: "Father, what are you talking about!"

"Why, did I say something wrong?"

"Wrong, of course it's wrong!" Qianxue pointed at the other princesses, "There are so many royal sisters here, and there are too many of them who like Situ Liancheng. Get out of the palace."

"Princess, don't talk nonsense, your father wants you to marry someone, so why chase you away?" The queen persuaded.

Qian Xuebuyi: "What's the difference, since Father doesn't want to see me so much, I can just leave the bedroom in the future!"

As he spoke, he left in a huff, regardless of the presence of the crowd.

"Stop for me!" The emperor was furious, "Come when you want, leave when you want, behave pervertedly, do you still have Zhen in your eyes, do you have etiquette and education!"

Qianxue stood in the hall aggrieved: "Anyway, I don't want to marry Situ Liancheng."

"You don't want to marry him, who else do you want to marry?" The emperor blurted out angrily.

"Xiao Junyi!" Qianxue called his name directly, stepped forward and took Xiao Junyi's hand, "You know that my daughter likes brother Junyi, and she will not marry anyone except him!"
