Every winter, many palaces in the royal capital hold fire-warming parties of various sizes. Nangong Yue often goes to Princess Yongyang’s mansion on weekdays, and she is already familiar with them. However, this time the fire-warming party is... There are some differences. Yongyang posted a message and invited many princes, ministers and noble families in the capital.
For a time, most of the king was shocked.
Everyone knows that the eldest princess Yuncheng likes to be lively and holds various banquets in the mansion, but the eldest princess Yongyang is different. This eldest princess who has fought on the battlefield is different from ordinary women. In addition to happy events in the mansion, she usually There are no large-scale banquets held in Princess Li's mansion throughout the year, and Yongyang himself rarely attends banquets in other mansions.
But she held this fire party for Wen Yu. Nangong Yue even learned from Fu Yunyan that Yong Yang had invited several princes and princesses, which showed how much she valued Wen Yu, her grandson.
Early in the morning that day, Nangong Yue dressed up carefully. She put on a rose-red silken pattern slant-breasted jacket, a plum-pink pleated skirt underneath, and a silver hairpin inserted into her bun. The flower-shaped hairpin inlaid with gold filigree and rubies reflected her jade-like skin, making her look more delicate than a flower.
When Xiao Fei looked at her, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she praised: "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful!"
She said it sincerely, without any politeness, which made several maids on the side snicker. They were all used to Xiao Fei's upright temperament.
Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Sister Fei, you look very good today."
Nangong Yue’s words are not polite. What Xiao Fei is wearing today is one of several new clothes made for the New Year. She is wearing an emerald green embroidered silver-white plum blossoms, paired with a silver-white dress. The floral satin horse-faced skirt, with a glossy black hair and a transparent jade centerpiece, looks extremely elegant and perfectly matches Xiao Fei's own cold temperament.
The two of them were ready and immediately set off for Princess Yongyang's mansion. It was actually still early, but Nangong Yue always didn't like to come during the most crowded times, and would rather go as early as possible.
Furthermore, if she came over earlier, she could talk to Yongyang and let Yongyang get to know Xiao Fei.
Nangong Yue thought that she had arrived early, but she didn’t expect that there was someone who arrived earlier than her.
When she got off the carriage at the second gate of the princess mansion, Fu Yunyan came up to her and whispered to her: The third princess had arrived.
Nangong Yue was stunned when she heard this. The palace was no better than the outside. The third princess is about to leave the palace, and she still has to go to pay her respects to the queen first. In addition, this huge palace has many gates. It will take at least half an hour just to leave the palace, and then come to the princess mansion... It would probably take an hour and a half anyway.
Of course Fu Yunyan knew it well and exchanged a tacit look with Nangong Yue.
Xiao Fei didn't know this, so her expression was very calm and indifferent.
The three girls walked forward, and soon Wufutang appeared in front. Nangong Yue whispered to Xiao Fei: "Grandma Yongyang is very kind. Your elder brother and I regard her as our own grandmother. , you don’t have to be too reserved.”
"Yes." Fu Yunyan nodded in agreement, "Grandma and grandpa Ling were both generals in the army decades ago, and they cherish each other. Our two families can be considered family friends. Grandma will be very happy to see you."
Xiao Fei nodded thoughtfully. She knew that the Red Feather Army led by Princess Yongyang had been under her grandfather's command, but she didn't know that the two families still had such a relationship.
As they spoke, they had arrived outside the main hall of Wufu Hall, and the third princess's surprised voice came from inside: "Cousin Yu, it turns out that Princess Zhennan is still your savior?"
"I will always bear in mind the concubine's kindness to me." At the same time as Wen Yu spoke, Nangong Yue and the others entered the room, and his eyes immediately looked over here.
There are currently five people sitting in this room. In addition to Yong Yang, Wen Yu and the third princess, Mrs. Fu and Fu Yunhe are also there.
"Yueer is here!" Yongyang, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, saw Nangong Yue and waved with a smile, then looked at Xiao Fei, "This one must be Ayi Is she your sister?"
Xiao Fei hurriedly bowed to Yongyang: "Fei'er has met Her Royal Highness Princess Yongyang."
Yongyang had long known from Fu Yunyan that their aunt and sister-in-law were getting along well, and said with a smile: "Sister Fei, just follow your elder brother and sister-in-law and call me Grandma Yongyang."
Xiao Fei glanced at Yong Yang unexpectedly. This was the first time she saw such a cheerful old woman like her. She looked towards Nangong Yue again, and when she saw Nangong Yue nodded towards her, she changed her words in a kind manner and saluted again: "I have met Grandma Yongyang."
Yong Yang smiled even more kindly, took off a jade pendant from his waist and gave it to Xiao Fei.
Following that, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei went to salute the third princess. The third princess gently and generously waved her hand to signal them to excuse themselves, and then said with a smile: "Prince Concubine, I was just listening to Cousin Yu talking about you. , I didn’t expect that the Crown Princess was Cousin Yu’s savior. The Crown Princess is really ‘a good person who doesn’t want others to know’, which makes me admire her.”
Nangong Yue smiled slightly and responded: "Your Highness, the princess said something serious, it's just a little effort."
At this time, Wen Yu stood up, greeted Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei politely, and then said: "To the Crown Princess, this is just a small thing, but to me, it changes my destiny. Big deal."
"What Cousin Yu said is true." The third princess agreed softly, with a pair of bright black phoenix eyes glowing with a hint of spring, as if spring had arrived early.
After everyone sat down, the third princess said warmly: "Grandma Yongyang, cousin Yu, I heard that the plum grove in the princess's mansion is very famous. The plum blossoms are in bloom these days. Please take me to enjoy the plum blossoms later." Yes."
"That's natural." Wen Yu nodded, then looked at Xiao Fei, and asked with a smile on his lips, "Miss Xiao must be a plum lover, right?" He has a gentle smile that makes people fall in love with him at first sight.
The way Xiao Fei was dressed today was obvious at a glance, so she was not surprised and nodded in agreement.
Wen Yu's eyebrows became gentler and he said: "Then Miss Xiao, please come with us to Meilin later."
Hearing this, the third princess' face suddenly stiffened, and she quickly concealed the sullen expression between her brows and eyes.
Nangong Yue Ze was talking to Xiao Fei: "Sister Fei, Grandma Yongyang's plum grove here is indeed one of the best. According to Liu Niang, their princess palace claims to be the second best, and only the palace dares to claim it. First!"
Nangong Yue talked about it later, with a bit of ridicule, but Fu Yunyan didn't take it seriously. He puffed up his chest confidently and said, "It is, grandma, don't you think so?"
Yongyang was also amused, and Mrs. Fu sighed helplessly: "Liu Niang, you really don't know how to be humble." This child is really sad, and he will finally get married this year...
Xiao Fei's eyes were shining, and she nodded repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, Liu Niang, I must go and see you."
The third princess’ pretty face froze a little more. Just when the smile on her face could no longer be maintained, a maid came into the room and reported to Yong Yang: “Your Highness, the eldest princess of Yuncheng and the original eldest daughter The young master, the former second young master, and the head of Liushuang County have arrived at the second gate!"
Yuan Yuyi and the others arrived. Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan exchanged glances. Fu Yunyan was about to go to the second gate to greet them when another maid came over in a hurry and reported: "Your Highness, the eldest prince and the second prince , the car of the fifth prince and the fourth princess has arrived at the intersection!"
At this moment, it is still a stick of incense away from the time written on the invitation, and even most of the guests have not arrived yet. It is obvious that several princes and princesses attach great importance to Yongyang, their aunt, and it is indeed true. , Yongyang was not only deeply respected by the emperor, but even though she had handed over military power, she was still one of the top figures in Dayu's army.
After a while, the eldest son of the Fu family and his wife, the eldest son and his wife, led the four princes and princesses, as well as Yuan Yuyi and the others over. Yuan Yuyi and the fifth princes have always been close to Nangong Yue, so as soon as they entered the room, they all nodded slightly to Nangong Yue, and Nangong Yue naturally smiled back.
With the addition of these people, the originally empty main hall suddenly seemed crowded, and the atmosphere was very lively.
It took everyone a quarter of an hour to finish the ceremony. Han Lingguan looked at the third princess with a smile and said: "Third Princess, why did you come here alone without saying a word to the rest of us?" , he deliberately glanced at the fourth princess, as if to say, why did you leave your six-year-old imperial sister and come out of the palace alone?
Han Lingguan's words were probing, and he also felt strange in his heart. The third princess had never been close to Princess Yongyang's mansion in the past, so why was she so attentive today?
Thinking about it, Han Lingguan glanced at Wen Yu calmly, and Wen Yu shook his head without any trace, indicating that he didn't know either.
The third princess had never thought about taking the fourth princess out of the palace with her. When Han Lingguan said this, a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, but with a gentle and pleasant look on her face, she said: "Second Emperor Brother, I happened to get up early today and had some free time, so I came here first."
Everyone knows that is just an excuse.
Han Lingguan didn't pursue him fiercely, he was just thoughtful.
Yongyang saw that there were many people, and it was not convenient to talk, so he simply ordered Fu Yunyan and Wen Yu to take them out to sit down, leaving Yun Cheng alone to talk with him in Wufu Hall.
The cold wind blew outside, and even though they were wrapped in thick cloaks, the girls could not help but shrink back, especially the six-year-old Fourth Princess, whose tender cheeks were still red from the cold. , sneezed.
The third princess said softly: "Fourth sister, since you are not feeling well, you should have a good rest in the palace."
It sounds like the elder sister cares about her sister very much, but every word of her words has the meaning of reproach, which makes the bystanders feel a little uncomfortable, but they can't fault her.
The fourth princess was young but very sensitive. She glanced at the third princess timidly. In fact, she didn't feel uncomfortable. She just felt her nose was a little itchy due to the cold wind.
At this time, a maid from the Princess Mansion smiled and smoothed things over, saying: "Your Royal Highness, Crown Princess, County Lord, Miss Xiao, the fire dragon in Wangmei Pavilion has been burning all day and night, and now it is burning hot inside. , please have some patience."
Soon, Wangmei Pavilion and Dongyun Pavilion appeared in front, and the group split into two groups. Wen Yu took the eldest prince and others to Dongyun Pavilion, while Fu Yunyan led Nangong Yue and the others to Wangmei Pavilion. go.
As the maid said, it was very hot in Wangmei Pavilion, and even wearing a thin spring shirt was probably enough. As soon as the girls entered the room, they couldn't wait to take off their cloaks. The maid in the princess's house was very clever and immediately served hot **** tea to the fourth princess.
After one drink, the fourth princess looked much better.
"Cousin Yan," the third princess called gently, "I heard that you can see the plum forest from Wangmei Pavilion. Why don't you take me to have a look?"
The third princess has the highest status in Wangmei Pavilion. Since she made this request, Fu Yunyan is both the master and the cousin, so naturally she can only agree.
Fu Yunyan led everyone up to the second floor. From the southeast window on the second floor, you can see the plum forest next to Wangmei Pavilion, where white plums, winter plums, and red plums are blooming in the cold wind!
The nearest plum trees can be easily picked just by standing by the window!
Xiao Fei was already mesmerized by what she saw. Although she also participated in the plum blossom appreciation party in Yuncheng last time, it was still early winter at that time, so some wintersweet flowers could only be bloomed. Now is the plum appreciation festival.
The third princess felt a little regretful as soon as she got closer. Although the wind was not blowing from the southeast today, she could feel the cold wind as soon as she got close to the window. She was thinking about whether to use an excuse to leave. At this time, the direction of the stairs There was a sound of footsteps going upstairs.
It turned out that several more female relatives from the mansion had arrived. When they heard that the third princess was on the second floor, they came up to greet her and salute her.
The third princess then took advantage of the situation and leaned towards the direction of the charcoal basin, surrounded by a group of female relatives.
But Xiao Fei still stayed in the distance and stared at Merlin obsessively, muttering to herself, as if she was meditating on some poem.
Seeing Xiao Fei's fascination, Fu Yunyan said with a smile: "A Fei, how about I take you for a walk in the Plum Forest first?" Here is Grandma Fu accompanying the third princess and other female guests, and Fu Yunyan takes Xiao Fei with him. It wouldn't be rude to step away for a while.
Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue questioningly, and Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Sister Fei, let's go together."
Yuan Yuyi was almost shivering from the cold, and said hurriedly: "You go ahead, I won't go. In such a cold weather, I'd better hide in the house!"
Fu Yunyan shook his head and sighed: "Cousin Yi, I have told you a long time ago that you should move more on weekdays and not be so afraid of the cold. Look at A Fei, who is from the south and is in better health than you. ."
Yuan Yuyi glanced at Fu Yunyan angrily, "I told you too, women should pay more attention to their appearance in order to please themselves. Have you heard of me?"
The cousins are used to bickering, but the atmosphere is extremely harmonious.
Xiao Fei looked at them, with a slight smile in her cold eyes. She once envied their close relationship as cousins, envied them and their sister-in-law for having such close friends, but now She is no longer envious, she and her sister-in-law are the same as them!
A few people talked and laughed and went downstairs, but Yuan Yuyi did not follow them out in the end.
Fu Yunyan, who was surrounded by cloaks again, led Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei towards the Meilin, and said: "A Fei, this is your first time in the capital, so you must not have participated in the furnace heating party in the capital. This furnace There are not only warm pavilions at the meeting, but also warm pavilions." As she said that, she pointed to a looming pavilion in the plum forest and said, "Look, that's it."
There are several large screens surrounding the Nuanting Pavilion to isolate it from the cold wind.
Nangong Yue explained on the side: "There is a heater buried in the ground of the Nuanning Pavilion, so the pavilion is as warm as spring." As long as you block the wind, drink some wine and enjoy winter plums in the Nuanning Pavilion, it is very Elegance, so the elegant literati in this royal capital still like to hold this kind of fire-warming party.
This was the first time Xiao Fei had heard of it, and she found it very novel.
Fu Yunyan waved his arms boldly, "Let's go sit in the warm pavilion!"
The three of them walked slowly and slowly into the plum forest. Gradually, they heard a burst of elegant music coming from the forest...
Looking at the direction, the sound of the piano came from the direction of Nuanting.
The person who plays the piano obviously has extraordinary skills. Every stroke, every stroke, every stroke... are all just right. A piece of piano played is not only smooth and sweet, but also soft and firm, leaving the listener with a feeling that should not be forgotten. There is a picture of "plum blossoms swaying in the wind, gently dancing jade and silver"!
Xiao Fei's ears twitched and she blurted out: "It's "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms"!"
As the saying goes: "The first plum blossoms make the wind clear; the second plum blossoms make the flying snow; the third plum blossoms make the light and shadow". Amidst the elegant and pleasant sound of the piano, there are actually some snowflakes falling from the air, which is a perfect match for this piano. The sound adds a bit of artistic conception.
The cool snowflakes fell on the skin and turned into snow water. Xiao Fei came back to her senses from the sound of the piano and said: "Sister-in-law, Liu Niang, since there are people in the Nuanning Pavilion, we should go back to Mei Pavilion first. Right."
Fu Yunyan thought about it. If the person in the warm pavilion was a man, it would not be good if he collided with him.
She was about to respond when she heard the voice of the Fifth Prince coming from the Nuan Pavilion: "Sister Yue, Cousin Yan, you are here too." While speaking, the Fifth Prince walked out of the Nuan Pavilion, accompanied by others. Follow the second prince Han Lingguan.
The three girls hurriedly stepped forward to salute the two princes. At the same time, the sound of the piano in the warm pavilion suddenly stopped, and another familiar figure walked out.
"Cousin Yu!" Fu Yunyan called in surprise, "The person who played the piano just now was your cousin?... I didn't expect that my cousin's piano skills were so good!"
Wen Yu nodded, showing a hint of embarrassment, and said with a bow: "Let my cousin, the Crown Princess, and Miss Xiao laugh."
Xiao Fei replied seriously: "Young master Wen is very good at playing the piano, but he is too obsessed with the skill of playing the piano. He should try to figure out more about his artistic conception and state of mind, and he will definitely improve to a higher level."
If someone who doesn’t know Xiao Fei well or is a narrow-minded person will be angry after hearing this, Fu Yunyan already knows a little about Xiao Fei and is about to explain a few words to Wen Yu, but hears Wen Yu said sincerely: "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Wen Yu has learned a lesson. Miss Xiao is good at playing the piano. I wonder if I can give you some advice in the future."
Although Wen Yu is the grandson of Yong Yang’s grandmother, he is still a man. It is not appropriate to let Xiao Fei, a woman from the boudoir, give advice. Nangong Yue was about to refuse, but Xiao Fei spoke first and said bluntly: "Mr. Wen His piano skills are worse than mine, and I feel ashamed. The way to play the piano lies in your state of mind. When you reach your state of mind, your piano skills will naturally improve by leaps and bounds."
Wen Yu said humbly: "What Miss Xiao said is true."
Xiao Fei nodded, her expression seemed to say, a child can be taught.
Lily almost laughed, gritting her teeth to hold back.
This is really Xiao Fei’s temperament! Nangong Yue smiled and said: "Your Highnesses, it's starting to snow, let's go back to Nuan Pavilion." Especially the fifth prince, his health has gradually improved over the years, but after all, he is still a little weaker than ordinary people, so it is not suitable Dipped in snow.
Han Lingguan looked up at the sky and praised: "The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. My aunt really knows how to choose the day. Naturally, the plum blossoms must match the snow!"
While talking, the group walked out of the plum forest and headed towards Nuan Pavilion. Then they parted ways, and Nangong Yue and his party returned to Wangmei Pavilion.
Nangong Yue and the others had just taken off their cloaks when they heard footsteps coming downstairs. The third princess walked down surrounded by a group of female guests and walked to them.
The third princess looked a little stiff, but she still said in her usual gentle voice: "Cousin Yan, you just went to Merlin with the second and fifth emperor brothers, right? Why don't you ask me to come with you?!"
Just now, the third princess happened to see Nangong Yue and his party saying goodbye to the second prince and the others by the window. She didn't take it seriously at first, but when she saw Wen Yu among them, her whole face turned dark.
She couldn't help but wonder if Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan were deliberately trying to match up Wen Yu and Xiao Fei... The third princess became angrier as she thought about it, and hurried downstairs.
Although the third princess was smiling, there was a hint of questioning in her tone unconsciously. She thought she was hiding it well, but everyone present heard it. Fu Yunyan frowned displeased at first, and finally said calmly: "Third Princess, we happened to meet the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince in the Plum Grove just now. If the Third Princess is interested, I can also take Your Highness to the Plum Grove. Take a walk."
It's such a cold day, and you may not be able to meet it... The third princess suddenly lost interest and said slightly embarrassed: "I was just talking casually." She quickly looked at Xiao Fei glanced at it, but she still felt unhappy. Although she is clearly a superior princess, why are Fu Yunyan, Aunt Yongyang, and Wen Yu more affectionate towards Xiao Fei?
At this time, following the maid's singing, the two princesses Yongyang and Yuncheng arrived.
The female relatives hurriedly stood up to greet each other and saluted respectfully.
Yongyang has a cheerful temperament and has always disliked these polite social things. After letting the girls waive the courtesy, he went up to the second floor with them and sat down one by one according to their status.
The maids served plum blossom tea. After drinking the tea, Yuncheng was in high spirits and said: "Little aunt, you know that I always like to be lively. It is rare that so many young girls came today, and there are also many talented women among them. , how about giving them a chance to show off?"
Before Yongyang could say anything, he heard the third princess stand up and say gently: "What my aunt said is, let me play a piece of music today."
Since the third princess took the initiative, no one objected.
After a cup of tea, the third princess sat down behind the piano table, and a sonorous and powerful piano sound soon flowed out from her slender jade fingers...
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. Isn't this the "Ambush from Flying Daggers" that she once played at the Jinxin Club?
Most of the female relatives present heard it and were a little surprised. After all, today is a fire party. Playing the elegant "Three Plum Blossoms" is to add elegance. This murderous "Ambush from Flying Daggers" is always a bit weird. !
However, I have to admit that the third princess's piano skills are indeed superb. Not only can she find no faults, but it is also not easy for a woman to play such strong piano music.
They also all know that Nangong Yue once defeated the Holy Maiden of Baiyue at the Jinxin Conference with a song "Ambush from Flying Daggers". So today, the three princesses are provoking Nangong Yue, or they are simply trying to cater to her who was born in the battlefield. What about Yongyang’s preferences?
Everyone secretly speculated...Unconsciously, the sound of the piano ended.
Immediately a lady clapped her hands and praised: "The third princess is really extraordinary in her piano skills. I am afraid she is one of the best in this royal capital!"
The other lady also responded loudly and praised the third princess again, but Yongyang and Yuncheng said nothing.
A dark light flashed in the eyes of the third princess. She stood up and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Miss Xiao from Zhennan Palace is not only beautiful and fragrant, but also has outstanding talents. I wonder if I can show it to you today." ?"
But the eyes of the female relatives in the room lit up, and they heard a hint of provocation in the third princess's words. Xiao Fei's appearance is similar to that of Xiao Fang. She is a beautiful little beauty, but she is definitely not a beauty. Besides her talent, Xiao Fei has been in southern Xinjiang in the past. This is her first time in the capital. Who knows? What a talent she has!
So the third princess’s compliment was definitely not what she meant on the surface. It turned out that the third princess was at odds with Miss Xiao from Zhennan Palace!
