King Rong was not happy and his expression dropped. Google search reading
Everyone saw that His Highness King Rong and the Lord of Yong'an County were at odds with each other. The two of them didn't agree with each other for more than a few words, and they would fall out after a few words.
Wang Ce is very bald. He really knows Su Xinyi, his cousin, who is strong-headed and has high martial arts. He will take action if he disagrees with her. He works as an errand under the East Palace and has heard about her a lot.
However, he didn't expect that he would be so tough on Rong Wang's cousin, couldn't he be a little gentle like a daughter?
What to do?
Wang Ce was just thinking about an idea to round off the occasion when he heard Prince Shang next to him speak, "What the Lord of Yong'an County said is that being an official must make decisions for the people, but we won't talk about official business today. Since we are here for a banquet, There are so many people now, how about we play a game of flying flowers? It’s simple and fun, and it can also kill time.”
Shang Junyan knew that Su Xinyi hated King Rong very much, and was afraid that King Rong would cause trouble if he disagreed with him. Su Xinyi was angered and was afraid that he would really take action. If the trouble got to this point, it would not end well.
Su Xinyi:......
King Rong:......
Both of them fell in love with Shang Junyan.
"You let her play Feihua Ling?"
"You want me to play Feihua Ling?"
As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent again.
Su Xinyi took a breath and looked at King Rong.
King Rong refused to admit his guilt with a straight face.
Su Xinyi had to admit that she and King Rong were really at odds with each other.
King Rong felt that he was rude. He clearly didn't mean it, but the words changed as soon as he said it. It was obvious that he had offended someone again.
As for Su Xinyi's bad temper, I'm afraid I won't be able to coax him.
"My cousin is also thinking about Yong'an County Lord. After all, the County Lord grew up in the countryside. Isn't it embarrassing for you to ask the County Lord to take Feihua Order?"
A sudden female voice suddenly sounded, and Su Xinyi looked up and saw Xu Yurong's face that needed a beating.
After Xu Yurong finished doing the work for Princess Runyi, she saw that there were many people here and walked over. She happened to see this scene and such a good opportunity, so she naturally wanted to ridicule Su Xinyi.
Don't think that just because you have been granted the title of County Lord, you have forgotten where you grew up.
Su Xinyi looked at Xu Yurong and smiled lightly, "What Miss Xu said is that it doesn't matter whether we country people know how to fly flowers, but we must know how to swim."
I don't know who laughed softly, and everyone's expressions suddenly became strange.
Everyone present was familiar with the grievances between Su Xinyi and Xu Yurong, which started when they fell into water at Dongli Palace. As a result, Xu Yurong himself fell into water not long ago and was engaged to get married.
It would be fine if others didn't mention it, but the person involved, Yong'an County Lord, brought it up himself. This scene is really fun.
Xu Yurong's expression changed, and she could feel the way everyone looked at her suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but regret that she shouldn't have been so reckless before.
Yan Qiongsi couldn't see Su Xinyi being so proud, so he looked at her and said, "County Master Yong'an, what happened back then was also a misunderstanding. Besides, Miss Xu has already apologized to you, so why are you holding back?"
"It seems that Princess Runyi really wants to pick people to listen to her words. Miss Xu mocked me for coming from the countryside and not being literate enough to see the princess uphold justice. I just told the truth and it was Princess Lao who spoke up. I am really honored. However, Yes, after all, Princess Runyi and Miss Xu will become relatives soon, and Miss Xu is also your cousin-in-law, so she naturally has to protect the whole family. "
Who doesn’t know how to be yin and yang?
It was enough for her to learn a little bit about how their fifth sister spoke on weekdays.
Su Xixian and Su Jingmo looked at each other, and both of them fell silent. There were more than one dozen Xiaoliu in their family, so it seemed that they didn't need to play.
King Rong coughed lightly. He didn't want his cousin to annoy Su Xinyi anymore. She might be the unlucky one in the end. He immediately looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "Otherwise, let's go horse racing?"
Su Xinyi sneered, "I shouldn't refuse the prince's invitation, but after thinking about what happened at the polo field last time, I might as well forget it. If I ride a horse well and then turn it into a horse race, my reputation may be even better."
Han Zhao walked quietly to his sister, stretched out his hand to poke her arm, and asked in a low voice: "Does this person usually have this temper?"
Han Wenyin almost gave her brother a roll of her eyes. She lowered her voice and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? Xinyi's temperament couldn't be better. I like her very much. I feel very comfortable with her. I just like to talk to her." ”
Han Zhao thought silently, do you owe it to yourself?
He has a good temper and didn’t notice it.
It's true that he has a bad temper.
I can't afford to offend him. I can't afford to offend him. I didn't even see Rong Wangdu's face turned green by the rebuke.
Jiang Ruolan looked left and right. Fortunately, her eldest brother didn't come today. She looked at Su Xinyi and said with a smile: "With so many talented people here today, our girl's family won't play any tricks. Isn't this just a trick? County Master "Didn't you say we were going to take a boat ride? We can't see lotus flowers, so we can pick lotus pods to eat. Thank you so much for that."
Jiang Ruolan's words were wonderful. She didn't offend her for a few moments. She praised today's host, pulled Su Xinyi out of the battlefield, and praised all the male guests as great talents. Everyone's expressions finally softened.
Of course, Su Xinyi would not brush off Jiang Ruolan's kindness. She immediately stood up and said, "Let's go take a boat."
Yan Qiongsi didn't want to tarnish her own reputation by targeting Su Xinyi at the polo match last time, so she immediately smiled and said, "The weather is good today and it's a good time for a cruise. I'll go with you." "
Yan Qiongsi lowered her status to show her goodwill. Su Xinyi also knew that too much is as bad as too little, so she said: "The princess has a lot of things to do today, so you should stay on the shore to take charge of the overall situation. If something happens, you will need your care."
Yan Qiongsi didn't really want to go into the water with her, but she didn't want to be criticized in front of everyone. After hearing Su Xinyi's words, she smiled and said: "That's fine. I'll wait for you on the shore to return with a full load. It's just right that we can add another dish to our lunch."
Everyone watched a big show, and their eyes kept lingering on a few people. At this time, Prince Rong wanted to take everyone to play Feihualing. No one would miss this opportunity to show their faces in front of Prince Rong.
On the other side, Su Xinyi took a group of ladies on the boat to pick lotus seeds. The group of girls wearing colorful clothes and talking and laughing looked really pleasing to the eye.
This is what a banquet should look like.
Shang Junyan was also relieved. He was really worried that Su Xinyi and Yan Qiongsi would fight. Since her rebirth, her temper has become more and more sharp. Every time they meet, they are always on edge. He didn't dare to interrupt just now, for fear that he would add fuel to the fire instead of trying to reconcile.
Now it's good, one is divided into two, each of them is quiet.
"Brother Shang."
Shang Junyan turned his head and saw Yan Qiongsi looking at him with a smile. He couldn't help but shudder. Knowing that Su Xinyi had left, he still took a step back, "Princess Runyi, is there anything?"
Yan Qiongsi was stunned for a moment when she heard Shang Junyan's unfamiliar attitude, and a bit of grievance flowed on her face, "Brother Shang, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts, why are you so unfamiliar with me now?"
Shang Junyan pursed his lips. In the last life, my family and I were wiped out because of you. How could I not hide?
If he hadn't avoided it today, he wouldn't have wanted to come at all.
Shang Junyan was about to make an excuse to leave when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw Su Xinyi walking back again.
Shang Junyan's face froze, but Yan Qiongsi didn't think anything of it. She looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "Why did the county lady come back again?"
Su Xinyi pointed to the place where she had sat before, "I forgot my handkerchief here. I came back to get it."
"Just let a maid come back. Why should the county lady run there in person?" Yan Qiongsi asked with alarm.
Su Xinyi said, "I asked the maid to go and look at the boat. I can walk a few steps faster by myself. I won't disturb you two from chatting. Goodbye."
Su Xinyi picked up the handkerchief and turned to leave. It was really unlucky. She didn't expect Shang Junyan and Yan Qiongsi to talk here. Everyone else had left. She thought there was no one here. If she had known they were here, she would not have come back.
Shang Junyan had a headache and felt that he couldn't clear himself even if he jumped into the river today.
Yan Qiongsi saw Shang Junyan's distracted look after Su Xinyi left, and she was even more annoyed. She suppressed her anger and looked at Shang Junyan and said, "I heard that the Duke of Qi is discussing a marriage for the Princess of Yong'an County. I wonder which son the Princess will choose."
"Discussing a marriage?" Shang Junyan frowned. Was the Duke of Qi too anxious?
Seeing Shang Junyan frowning, Yan Qiongsi felt that she had not guessed much. Shang Junyan really had some ideas about Su Xinyi, so her face naturally turned ugly.
She suppressed her anger and whispered, "Brother Shang, I don't believe you don't know anything about the things between you and me. My aunt should have told you something, right?"
Shang Junyan's face turned cold. If he didn't know in his previous life, he would have trusted his family blindly, resulting in such a tragedy.
He thought he was smart in vain. Although he couldn't say that he was rising to prominence in his official career, he was also a leader among young talents.
It's a pity that he trusted his family too much. In addition, when Su Xinyi fell into the water and married him, he believed his family and thought she had done it deliberately. Although they became husband and wife, they were worse than strangers.
He didn't know how his family members joined others to bully Su Xinyi in places he couldn't see.
In another time, he saw many things clearly, such as the attitude of his mother and elder sister towards Su Xinyi, and the malicious targeting of Su Xinyi by Princess Runyi.
Forget it in the previous life, Su Xinyi married him so she had to endure those. In this life, he and Su Xinyi did not get married, but sadly, they were still so hostile to her and still targeted her.
He was very restrained, but it seemed that the result was not what he wanted. What went wrong?
Shang Junyan looked at Yan Qiongsi, whose face was even more distant than before, "I don't quite understand what Princess Runyi said. I don't know what my mother wants to say to me. If Princess knows, can you tell me something?"
How could she say such a thing? After all, she was just a girl in the boudoir. He was not a village girl like Su Xinyi who didn't know etiquette.
Yan Qiongsi's face was not very good either. She didn't believe that Shang Junyan really didn't know. He was just perfunctory to her. That's why she was even more angry.
He was not like this before. He changed towards her after meeting Su Xinyi.
Shang Junyan looked at her and saw that she had nothing to say, so he bowed and turned away.
Thinking of the look in Su Xinyi's eyes when she turned back before, he had a headache. This was really adding insult to injury.
After walking a few steps, he saw that everyone was gathered together and playing Feihua Ling. He didn't have the heart to stand outside in a daze.
Yan Congjia, the playboy, was eliminated after a few rounds. He simply didn't care about it and bowed to everyone. Everyone laughed and he took the opportunity to withdraw.
What's so fun about Feihualing? It's only for nerds.
As soon as he looked up and saw Shang Junyan standing outside, he walked over, looked at him and said, "Jun Yan, why are you here and not going to play?"
Shang Junyan raised his head and looked at Yan Congjia. Some words came to his lips but he had to swallow them back. He was just a dandy. It was useless to tell him. One mistake would only make the matter bigger. Forget it, there will be more in the future. Let’s talk about it later.
On the other side, Yan Qiongsi saw that Shang Junyan actually left like that. He was angry and anxious, and returned to the room where he took a rest with a dark face. The more he thought about it, the more angry, annoyed and sad he became.
She liked Shang Junyan so much that it was not suitable for the two families to get married now. She reluctantly agreed to the Pingjing County Prince's offer to marry him a wife first, but what was his attitude towards her?
She didn't believe that he didn't know that he was seduced away by Su Xinyi.
Yan Qiongsi's mood was getting worse and worse. Suddenly she thought for a moment, looked at Shaoyao beside her and asked, "Has Xu Yurong done a good job?"
Shaoyao hurriedly said: "It's ready. It's in the inner room. Princess, do you really want to try?"
Yan Qiongsi's face was dark and white, and she didn't believe it, but Shang Junyan's attitude made her so uncomfortable. She wanted to ask, did he really not like her at all?
She doesn't believe it!
Xu Yurong said that this kind of support technique was very effective, and it came from Daling Temple. The monks in Daling Temple would not easily lie to others, and Xu Yurong had tried it herself. She couldn't help but feel excited.
Regardless of whether it was divination, she could get the answer to anything. She didn't believe it before. She always felt that it was the charlatans who deliberately set up traps and said specious words to deceive people.
But today she was so sad that she couldn't help but think about relying on the power of ghosts and gods.
You won’t lose any pieces of meat if you give it a try, it’s just inaccurate at worst.
But what if it's true?
She walked into the inner room and saw that the sand table, pens and other items were indeed placed on the table. She took a deep breath and looked at Shaoyao and said, "Go and call Haitang."
Shaoyao hurriedly went out and called Haitang. They were the most trusted servants of the princess. They closed the door as soon as they came in. Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be seen by others.
She remembered Xu Yurong's special reminder to write down the heavenly stems and earthly branches with cinnabar dripping into her own blood. She asked Shaoyao to take the embroidery needle, endure the pain and prick her fingertips, squeeze a drop of blood into the cinnabar.
The color of cinnabar itself is blood red. When mixed with blood, the color deepens and makes people look a little uncomfortable.
Yan Qiongsi took a deep breath, mixed the cinnabar mixed with blood, then stood with a pen and wrote down the heavenly stems and earthly branches on the prepared paper, and then drew the two poles of yin and yang. Yang means affirmation, and yin means negation. .
After doing all this, she glanced at Peony and Begonia.
The two of them hurriedly stepped forward to hold the ji pen with their fingers, not daring to release their breath. Yan Qiongsi spread the paper under the fine sand on the sand table, and then covered the paper with a thin layer of fine sand, which was faintly visible. See the red writing on the paper.
The T-shaped wooden frame was placed on the sand table, with the hanging cone hanging down. Peony and Begonia each held the two ends of the horizontal beam, their expressions a little unnatural.
Yan Qiongsi stared at the sand table tightly, took a deep breath, then clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly: "The Great Immortal is above me. The believer Yan Qiongsi sincerely worships and asks the gods to answer my questions."
After saying this, Yan Qiongsi paused. She wanted to test whether this method was true. As soon as her mind changed, she said, "Is it true that Su Xinyi was granted the title of County Lord?"
After saying that, Jones closed his mouth and stared at the tip of the awl. The room was so quiet that it was disturbing. Soon the tip of the awl started to shake, circled around the sand table, and finally stopped tremblingly. side of the anode.
yes.
Yan Qiongsi was stunned and felt a little dazed. Is it really useful?
Are there really gods between heaven and earth?
Do immortals really exist?
She just wanted to give it a try, just wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect it to actually work.
Yan Qiongsi was shocked and horrified, but soon a look of surprise appeared in her eyes. She immediately put away her previous doubts, took a deep breath, clasped her hands together, and asked again: "What happened between me and Shang Junyan?" Can the marriage happen? "
The cone tip rotated again, and after a circle, it stopped tremblingly on the side of the cathode.
no!
Yan Qiongsi's face turned pale, can't it be done?
"Shangjun Yanxi doesn't like me?"
The cone tip rotated again, and finally stopped at the cathode side.
no!
Yan Qiongsi's face turned completely gloomy, how could this be possible?
Shang Junyan was obviously very kind to her when she was a child. He would keep delicious food for her and play with her patiently.
She sat slumped on the ground, how could this happen?
At this time, Shaoyao and Haitang seemed to have just come back to their senses. They looked at the princess sitting on the ground and hurriedly came over to help her up. "Princess, are you okay?"
Yan Qiongsi looked at the two girls crying and laughing, "Did you see it?"
"Princess, this servant didn't see anything."
"My lord, this servant didn't see anything either."
Yan Qiongsi was stunned and looked at them, "Really?"
"Yes, when the princess started to worship, the slave girl felt very sleepy and wanted to have a good sleep, but her eyes were completely white and she couldn't see anything."
"The same goes for my slave." Haitang's face turned even paler, "Princess, why is this fuji a little weird? I'm a little scared. You'd better stop asking and put it away quickly."
Yan Qiongsi's face became increasingly ugly, and she looked at the two of them, "If you continue to support me, I have one last question."
Haitang and Shaoyao had no choice but to hold the two ends again.
Yan Qiongsi took a deep breath, looked at the hanging awl, worshiped seriously and asked: "Great Immortal, how can I win Shang Junyan's heart? Do I really have to do something he regrets before he changes his mind? ",
Yan Jones's eyes were fixed on the tip of the cone. This time the cone rotated for a long time before stopping, and finally stopped on the side of the anode.
Yan Qiongsi's face turned pale.
At this time, a figure quickly disappeared under the window behind the palace.
