Everyone's expressions were stunned, and after a long while, someone sighed, "Although we are far away and can't see her face, her figure is a bit casual and free, but it still makes people feel charming, I'm afraid she is a beauty.
However, isn’t there no women in Prince Jing’s residence? How could it be..."
Hearing this, many people's eyes fell on Yun Shang, who still had a gentle smile, but they couldn't help but compare Yun Shang with the woman just now. The more they looked at it, the more frightened they felt.
She is not that kind of beauty at first sight. When I first look at her, I just feel that she is soft and delicate. Standing so quietly, she seems to be in a painting. Her face is condensed with goose fat, her lips are like cherry blossoms, and her eyebrows are like ink paintings.
She looks like autumn water, and her emerald green skirt looks particularly dazzling and fresh in this gentle spring day. It is as straight as the rain hitting the green lotus, and the mist is thin on the lonely mountain, with a bit of lightness and elegance.
When did this humble princess become so beautiful?
Yun Shang saw everyone's expressions and knew what they were thinking, so she said softly, "I just said that the housekeeper in the emperor's uncle's house really doesn't know anything about holding birthday banquets. I think the emperor's uncle went there a few days ago.
I went to Prince Shunqing's Mansion and saw that Princess Qianqian also invited Miss Qianqian to play the piano and dance on her birthday, so I also invited her over. However, although Miss Qianqian's status is a bit embarrassing, her playing of the piano is excellent, and she dances step by step.
The living lotus is even more unique in the world."
Although the people present were all ladies and gentlemen, Qian Qian's reputation was so great that she was heard about even in the inner house. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. If it was a compliment, it would somewhat lower her status.
, if it was a disparagement, then it was against Prince Jing’s palace. Everyone looked at each other, but did not speak.
"Heroes don't care about their origins. Since this Qianqian girl can be praised so much by the princess, she must have her own strengths. Yan'er would like to see her performance later." In the silence of everyone, Wang Jinyan suddenly
The compliment made everyone even more silent.
Yun Shang smiled slightly and couldn't help but feel amused. The children of the Wang family were really different from other ladies who pretended to be reserved.
"Princess, the emperor is here. Your Majesty invites the princess to accompany him in the front yard." A boy came over in a hurry and whispered.
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Father is here?" Then he told the ladies and ladies and went to the front yard.
As expected, Emperor Ning was sitting in the upper seat. Next to him, Prince Jing, dressed in green, was quietly talking to Emperor Ning. Yun Shang stood in the distance and looked at Prince Jing carefully, and saw that although his face was still a little pale, his words were quiet.
There was no big problem, so I felt more at ease.
Prince Jing was the first to see Yun Chang, his eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his lips, "Shang'er, come quickly."
Emperor Ning turned his eyes and saw a confused Yun Shang standing at the door. Emperor Ning smiled and said, "Why don't you wait for your father?"
Yun Shang walked to Emperor Ning and sat down, looked up at Emperor Ning, and said with a smile, "Shang'er thought that the father was not coming, so he came first, but as soon as he arrived at the palace, he was arrested by the emperor's uncle to entertain him.
The female family members are gone, and Chang'er doesn't even know that the father is here."
Emperor Ning raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Prince Jing whose expression softened a lot after Yun Shang came in, "Oh?"
There was a bit of embarrassment in Prince Jing's smile, "My brother's birthdays were all spent in the army in the past, and everyone just drank and ate meat. Today, I am in the imperial city and I don't know how to hold a birthday banquet."
It's such a troublesome thing, and the preparations are not very thorough."
When Emperor Ning heard what Prince Jing said, he was silent for a moment, then curled his lips and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear brother."
After talking for a while, the banquet was held. After the banquet, Emperor Ning did not rush back to the palace. Instead, he watched the performance with the guests. Although the palace of Prince Jing was large, most of the places were idle, so he had to set up a table by the lake.
After getting on the tables and chairs, the performers were performing in the attic opposite. The imperial city was so big, and the performances were similar. The troupe Yun Shang hired was one of the best in the imperial city. He ordered a few plays and then left.
.
There was a sound of pipa in the attic, but no one was there. The pipa played a lotus-picking ditty from Jiangnan, but it was very fascinating. Everyone was a little curious about who the person playing the pipa was, but they saw a pink figure flying out from the attic.
It fell on a lotus leaf in the middle of the lake that had just exposed its sharp corners.
Everyone was shocked. A person's weight is naturally not light. However, the woman stood on the lotus leaf, but she was still looking relaxed, holding a pipa in her hand. The sound of the pipa was not affected at all. It can be imagined.
, this woman’s Qinggong should definitely not be weak.
However, the woman just turned her back to everyone, but did not turn around. She only stood on tiptoe slightly and danced on the lotus leaf.
"Okay!" It was Emperor Ning who was the first to shout "ok", and everyone woke up. There was a hint of interest in their eyes. Some people had already recognized the woman in the lake, "That's not the number one oiran in the imperial city.
Girl Qianqian?"
For a moment, the crowd started talking quietly, but the discussion disappeared when Qian Qian turned around and made a gesture of bouncing the pipa.
Qian Qian wears a light pink dress that reaches the floor, her slender waist is restrained by a cloud belt, which makes her look even more undulating. There is a hibiscus hairpin in her hair, which makes her face look like a hibiscus. Her face is extremely gorgeous and her pair of charming phoenix eyes are charming.
Tiancheng.
The sound of pipa played endlessly, and the woman in the lake kept changing various postures, which was overwhelming. Before the last pipa sound landed, the woman flew away without a trace of nostalgia.
For a long time, no one spoke, they seemed to be intoxicated by the sound of the pipa just now, maybe it was the dancing, maybe it was the beauty.
Emperor Ning smiled slightly, with a dark and unclear look in his eyes. After a while, he stood up and rubbed his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, your eyes have been opened to me today. Your Majesty just drank a lot of wine from me."
, now I am a bit drunk, please find a place for me to rest for a while."
Prince Jing quickly stood up and said, "Brother, please bring the emperor over."
Emperor Ning waved his hand and said, "You are the master today, so just stay here to greet the guests. Just find someone to take me there."
Prince Jing was silent for a moment, then called the housekeeper and asked him to take Emperor Ning to the east wing. The housekeeper took Emperor Ning away and the atmosphere became slightly more lively when he heard someone say, "They say this Qianqian girl is a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold."
It's hard to invite, if she doesn't like someone, she won't like it even if he holds gold and silver in front of her. I don't know how Prince Jing invited this Qianqian girl to his mansion?"
When Prince Jing heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Speaking of which, Miss Qianqian is not here for my sake. There is someone else who invited Miss Qianqian, but who it is, I will
It’s inconvenient to say more.”
Although the people who came on stage next were pretty good, just after seeing Qian Qian's dancing, everyone became a little less interested. Since Emperor Ning was not present, everyone lost their scruples and started toasting one after another.
Yun Shang looked at Prince Jing drinking one glass after another, and frowned slightly. His injury...
I just thought about it, but gave up and just watched the performance on the stage quietly.
Qianyin walked up to Yun Chang and said something beside Yun Chang. Yun Chang's eyes burst out with a bit of light, and she smiled and said, "Uncle Emperor, ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid you are a little bored. Chang
Let’s take them to the backyard to rest for a while.”
Prince Jing's eyes fell on Yun Shang. His hand holding the wine glass paused slightly before he smiled and said, "Okay."
Yun Shang stood up with a smile. She was also the female family member Yun Shang was entertaining just now. Those ladies and ladies didn't drink either, and the performances on the stage were no longer attractive. So she stood up and followed Yun Shang, saying
These words went to the backyard.
"What the princess said is indeed true. That girl Qian Qian is quite talented. Yan'er just looked at that girl Qian Qian standing on the lotus leaf in the lake. Her Qing Kung skill is probably not as good as that of her brother.
Yan'er is really convinced that a woman from the mortal world is so powerful. I think that girl Qianqian's martial arts must not be weak. If there is a chance, I will definitely learn from her." Wang Jinyan walked beside Yun Shang for a moment.
He was in a backward position and said with a smile.
Yun Shang squinted her eyes and nodded, "It's indeed a surprise."
"I'm just a prostitute from a brothel, but I deserve such praise from you. Do you think you're not even as good as a brothel girl?" A cold and somewhat mocking voice sounded. Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and looked.
To Cangyang Yu'er who spoke.
"Talented people deserve our respect regardless of their birth level. But Miss Yu'er, I heard that your family background was not very good before you were picked up and adopted by the Imperial Master." Yun Shang's voice was flat and without any trace of emotion.
The uproar made Cangyang Yu'er couldn't help but change her face. She naturally knew what her identity was before she was adopted by the national master. Saying that her family background was not very good was also a compliment to her. She was just a girl who was destroyed by floods before.
She is just a beggar who goes around begging in her home. But since she recognized the Imperial Master as her adopted father, she has covered up all the previous things. How could this be possible? How could Ning Yunshang know?
There was a touch of pity in Yun Shang's eyes, which made Cangyang Yu'er feel very angry, and her face looked very ugly, "What do you mean by this, princess?"
Wang Jinyan stood in front of Yun Shang, blocking Cang Yang Yu'er's gaze from Yun Shang, and said with a cold face, "What does Miss Cang Yang want to do?"
Yun Shang smiled slightly and said, "This is in Ning Country. Miss Cangyang will definitely not be so ignorant."
Cang Yang Yu'er's eyes were a little deep, she gritted her teeth and stood up, "I am a little uncomfortable, so go and pay my respects first, and you can chat."
As soon as Cangyang Yu'er left, Yun Shang heard a sneer from behind, "She is just a foreigner, and she is a foreigner with the name of an adopted daughter. She is just an adopted daughter, and she wants the whole world to listen to her.
It’s really too naive.”
Yun Shang turned around and looked at the woman who was speaking, and saw that it was an acquaintance she had met once before on New Year's Eve, Li Yingying.
Yun Shang didn't say anything. He walked to the side and sat down. He said with a smile, "Ladies and ladies, please take a seat. There is nothing to entertain in Prince Jing's Mansion. For fun, why don't we just play drums and pass flowers around?"
Hearing this, the Crown Princess of Shunqing Palace smiled and said, "We should just watch these little girls playing with things like this. Princess, you can just play with these ladies. My ladies and I will go to the pavilion over there."
Let’s chat for a while.”
Hearing this, Yun Shang said with a bit of gratitude in her eyes, "The Crown Princess has thought carefully, so I would like to thank the Crown Princess very much."
The ladies of the official family were all taken to a nearby pavilion, where there were women from the boudoir who were less than 20 years old. The atmosphere was a bit more lively. "Since we are beating drums to spread flowers, there must be punishment."
Yun Shang nodded, "Of course there has to be a punishment, how about this, I have someone prepare a lotus tube. After the drumming stops, whoever's hand the flower falls on will draw a lotus and accept the punishment."
But none of us thought about writing down the punishment on this lot."
Everyone responded one after another, and the boys on the side quickly prepared things and handed out the lottery tickets to the girls. The ladies all wrote down the punishment content with pens and put them in the lottery tubes nearby. Then they gathered around.
They formed a circle and sat down.
While everyone was waiting for the servants to set up the stools, Wang Jinyan quietly approached Yun Shang and said, "Just now I saw that there seemed to be one less maid next to Cangyang Yu'er. I'm afraid she has some conspiracy. Princess, you'd better let someone go."
Let’s go find out where that maid went.”
Yun Shang looked at Wang Jin's genuine worry on her face, patted her hand gently and said, "It doesn't matter, this is Prince Jing's Mansion. Although Prince Jing's Mansion doesn't seem to have many servants, the guards are definitely not lax.
Nothing big will happen."
After Wang Jinyan heard this, he nodded and sat down next to Yun Shang.
The drummer on the side was blindfolded. Yun Shang held a flower tied with silk and said with a smile, "Are you ready? If you are, we will start..."
Seeing everyone's faces showing a bit of excitement, Yun Shang called out, "Start."
The drums began to sound.
The silk flowers were passed quickly among the people. Suddenly, the drum beat stopped. Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked at the woman who smiled a little reluctantly.
"This is the young lady from Taiwei Qin's residence. Xing San is a concubine. She doesn't seem to have much talent." Wang Jinyan's lowered voice came over.
Yun Shang nodded, "Miss Qin is lucky today. She got the silk flower first. Miss Qin will come over and draw a lot."
Miss Qin's eyes wandered around everyone's faces, then she walked to the lottery tube, drew a lottery and handed it to Yun Shang. Yun Shang lowered her head and glanced at it, with a gentle smile, "It's not difficult, just play a tune.
That’s it.”
Then Miss Qin took a breath, took the piano handed to her by the servant, and played a piece at will.
The drum sounded again, and for the second time, the silk flower fell into the hands of a woman wearing rouge. Yun Shang raised her eyes and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. This one was also careless, Jing Wen
Xi.
Jing Wenxi stared at his big eyes, which were wet, like a frightened rabbit, "Oh, I was not very lucky in the past and today. I hope the punishment will not be too difficult."
Jing Wenxi walked to the lottery tube and drew a lottery. He glanced at it casually, but his expression became a little strange. Seeing this, everyone gathered around him, but they saw that it was written on the lottery ticket, "Tell me about you."
Who is the young man you like?"
The handwriting was somewhat free and easy, and Jing Wenxi was embarrassed when he heard Wang Jinyan burst into laughter, "I wrote this, so I was thinking who could get it, but I didn't expect that it was Miss Jing who got it.
It’s okay, none of us can’t keep secrets, just say it.”
Jing Wenxi's face was a little pale, and the tip of his nose was slightly red as he stood there.
"Huh? Could it be that Miss Jing doesn't want to say it? That's true. After all, it's her secret. After all, Miss Jing is not married to Yunying. It's really not appropriate to say such a thing." Wang Jinyan frowned and touched the tip of her nose and said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sneer coming over him, "She is indeed in some inconvenience, but this inconvenience is not because she is unwilling to say it or is shy, it is just because the person she likes has already been engaged, and her fiancée is here
…”
Before the voice with a touch of sarcasm could speak, Jing Wenxi heard anger in his eyes and rushed towards the woman, "Wen Ruyu, why did I offend you? You have no reason to target me like this.
?"
The atmosphere was tense for a while, but many people were secretly wondering who Jing Wenxi liked. There were many women who were engaged, but if they hadn't gotten married yet, their future husband would be coveted by other women. This
I'm really a little unhappy.
Wen Ruyu snorted and raised her eyebrows, "Why, you have the courage to like me but don't have the courage to say it? You don't even look at what kind of virtue you have grown into, and you think Prince Jing will like you?"
Prince Jing... Many people have noticed the most important thing Wen Ruyu said. It turns out that the person Jing Wenxi likes is actually Prince Jing?
Everyone quietly looked at Yun Shang, but they saw that Yun Shang didn't seem to care at all, her eyes were very gentle, and her voice was extremely calm, "You two ladies, today is the birthday banquet of the emperor's uncle. Please don't leave your personal information to us.
Bring your grudges here."
Seeing that Yun Shang was so calm, everyone naturally had nothing to say, but they couldn't play the game any more. Someone who was familiar with Jing Wenxi or Wen Ruyu helped them sit down on a chair nearby.
As soon as he landed, he heard a woman's scream coming from the east.
Yun Shang's expression changed, and a cold smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.
"Princess, something happened? I seem to remember that just now Prince Jing asked the steward to take the emperor to the east wing to rest. This sound seemed to come from the east wing..." The Crown Princess hurried over, her face a little pale.
Emperor Ning was resting in the east. If something happened, they would definitely be implicated. When they thought of this, everyone looked a little bad.
Yun Shang pondered for a moment and looked to the east, "Let's go and take a look." She called Qian Yin again, "The prince may not know about it in the front yard. You go to the front yard and inform the prince."
Qianyin responded and left, and Yun Shang led everyone towards the place where the sound came from.
Yun Shang had just walked to the door of the east wing when she saw Prince Jing coming with some guests from the front yard. Yun Shang hurriedly greeted him and said, "Uncle Emperor, shouldn't there be guards in the mansion? Do you know where it came from?
What happened?"
Prince Jing nodded, "It's not the east wing. The emperor is resting in the east wing. I specially sent secret guards to protect it. It's the Tingyin Pavilion next to the east wing."
Hearing this, Yun Shang raised her head and saw three words written on the attic of the east wing: Tingfeng Pavilion.
Yun Shang lowered her eyes slightly, hiding all her emotions, and followed Prince Jing to the Tingyin Pavilion. Yun Shang paid special attention to the person who came with Prince Jing, but that person was not inside.
Walking to the Tingyin Pavilion, the courtyard door of the Tingyin Pavilion was ajar and opened with a push. There was also a man's robe scattered in the courtyard, and there were some strange sounds coming from inside.
Someone's expression changed slightly.
Prince Jing paused for a moment, then stepped forward and opened the door. The Tingyin Pavilion was originally a resting room prepared for guests, so the layout was relatively simple, just a resting bedroom.
Opening the door, everyone saw clothes scattered on the floor, including men's and women's dresses. There was also a woman's bellyband on the screen facing the door. On the screen, the figures of two people were faintly reflected.
In a strange posture, a slightly suppressed voice came over.
At this time, even the ladies in the boudoir who were unaware of what was going on, vaguely understood what was going on inside, and their expressions changed.
Prince Jing looked very bad and said angrily, "I would like to know who dared to do such lax things in my palace and defile my place. Someone come and kill these two people."
This king throws out this bitch of a man and a woman."
"Yes." As soon as King Jing finished speaking, a secret guard fell to the ground and rushed in.
There was a roar from inside, and Yun Shang curled up the corner of his mouth slightly. Naturally, he recognized this voice. He turned his head and saw the ministers following King Jing with a little surprise on their faces. Yun Shang looked at it,
They must have regretted following Prince Jing, and some of them even quietly took two steps back. However, the secret guards of Prince Jing's Mansion were always very quick in action and did not give them a chance.
He was thrown out and fell to the ground, and he was actually naked.
Suddenly, there were screams in the courtyard, and many ladies in the boudoir quickly covered their eyes and kept chanting, "Don't look at anything inappropriate."
There are also bold ones, such as Yun Shang and Wang Jinyandi, who frowned slightly but looked at the woman on the ground as usual. The woman seemed to be suddenly pulled out of joy, with a bit of anger on her face.
He smiled happily, but frowned due to the sudden pain. He stood up slightly and looked at everyone with a bit of confusion on his face.
"Ah, isn't this Miss Cangyang, the righteous daughter of the national master of Yelang Kingdom? Why, how come...here? And..." Wang Jinyan frowned and exclaimed, instantly making everyone understand what was happening before them.
person's identity.
Just thinking of the familiar man's voice coming from the house just now, I felt even more surprised. How could this woman... be with him?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a voice coming over, "The Emperor has arrived."
Everyone quickly came to their senses and turned around to salute.
Emperor Ning frowned and looked at everyone, "What's going on here? I heard the sound from the side."
Prince Jing frowned and told what happened just now. Emperor Ning frowned slightly and looked at the woman on the ground, "Where is the man?"
Prince Jing smiled coldly, "Why don't you escort him out quickly?"
Then, the secret guard escorted a person out of the house, but unlike the naked woman, the man had already put on his underwear and walked out with a pale complexion... (To be continued)
