Yanmenchun

Chapter 15

No one dared to poke the eighth princess's displeasure, everyone pretended that the matter was over and continued to listen to the play.

"Eight Emperor Sister, you haven't apologized to Miss Shentu, have you?" Yan Wang, who had been silent all this time, was stunned.

The ladies looked sideways at him. He was sitting on the table in a leisurely manner, still holding the wine glass in his hand, his eyelashes were raised, and he looked at the eighth princess with a calm expression.

The eighth princess clenched her teeth, not understanding why this difficult brother suddenly wanted to stand up for Shen Tuchan.

She had lost enough face today, she simply had bigger fruits waiting for Shen Tuchan, so she loosened her cheeks and said, "It's mine, isn't it, Miss Shentu is wrong."

The people in the audience breathed a sigh of relief, King Yan saw her apologizing and stopped talking, his eyes flicked past Shen Tuchan.

Shen Tuchan immediately became vigilant, the eighth princess had to refute a few words even in front of the emperor, why would she bow her head when King Yan spoke, it could only be that there was a real ruthless move waiting for her, she immediately pretended not to look at Xiaoman glanced.

After Shen Tuchan's performance, Yan Xin, the number one talented woman in the capital city, got up to play the harp. Usually noble girls can play the qin, dance or Xiao, but it was the first time for Shen Tuchan to see the harp playing.

Yan Xin is very beautiful, with a dignified and beautiful temperament, her eyes are clear and bright, and her lips are red. She is wearing a crimson skirt today. I don't know what kind of spices she smoked. When she walks, there is a burst of fragrant wind. Even the noble girls couldn't help but look away, Yan Xin seemed to know her own advantage, with a girlish and shy face.

Shen Tuchan looked at her lost in thought, Feng Yingru revealed to her a few days ago that this woman is very fond of the prince, and the empress has intended to hire him as the prince's side concubine, but there is no way out yet.

The maidservants have already lifted up the harp, the harp is very delicate, it doesn't look like it should be in the teaching workshop, presumably Yan Xin has long planned to perform in front of the prince.

Yan Xin saluted and sat down, and was about to play, when a eunuch came outside to report to Lord Xianrong that Miss Zheng from the Duke's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty had come.

All around suddenly fell into whispers again, and Shen Tuchan knew even if she didn't listen, it must be something like "Why is she here", "There is a good show to watch", "Princess Tai'an is still there" and so on.

Over there, Lord Xianrong had raised his eyes to see Princess Taian, but Princess Taian acted as if he hadn't heard it, so Lord Xianrong had no choice but to ask the eunuch to welcome Zheng Cuicui in.

When Zheng Cuicui came in, it was probably not Princess Tai'an who would annoy her the most, but Yan Xin who was ready to play.

It was the first time for Shen Tuchan to see Zheng Cuicui. She only heard that this daughter from the Duke of Ming Dynasty was always very picky when looking at people, and felt that a lady without a title in her family was not worthy of talking to her.

Zheng Cuicui's looks are not outstanding among the noble ladies in the capital city, but her complexion is fair. Although Shen Tuchan grew up in Mobei, due to natural reasons, she is almost the fairest among the ladies present. Miss Zheng can almost compete with her, but Miss Zheng is very small.She was wearing a jade-colored dress today, with hair tinsel and Bu Yao on her head.

In this scene, it seemed that she was coming late, Shen Tuchan thought she would take a seat directly after saluting, who would have thought that she would walk slowly in front of the crown prince and all the princes to salute and say hello.

This really made the noble ladies present not know what to say, Jun Xianrong's face was stiff, seeing her finish the salute, he hurriedly said: "Miss Zheng, please come to the table quickly."

Zheng Cuicui turned her head to salute the two princesses and Princess Baoqing before slowly walking to the position prepared for herself.

Yan Xin was already waiting there with a pale face, she quickly glanced at Zheng Cuicui with some disgust.

Shen Tuchan passed Yan Xin and looked at Princess Tai'an. Princess Tai'an seemed to know that Zheng Cuicui would do such a stupid thing. With one hand on her forehead, she quietly waited for Yan Xin to play the piano.

When the music starts, sometimes it is like broken jade in Kunshan, sometimes it is like a rainstorm knocking on the steps, the lingering sound is full of lingering aftertaste, and it really lives up to the name of the most talented woman in Kyoto.

After Yan Xin finished playing the song, she got up to thank her and went back to her seat. The prince smiled and praised: "The rhymes are lingering, like hearing the sounds of heaven."

At this moment, Yan Xin was very happy, and was about to stand up and thank the prince, but Zheng Cuicui quickly answered, "There is more than enough emotion, but not enough skill."

This time the audience was really silent, Yan Xin's face remained unchanged, but the veins on his neck were almost showing, the eighth princess laughed, and even covered her lips with her sleeves, Zheng Cuicui felt that she had said something wrong Wang Ziyang got up and saluted the prince: "Your Highness, it's my fault, my humble opinion, Your Highness, please forgive me."

She was talking about Yan Xin, but she only apologized to the prince.

Shen Tuchan was really curious about how Mrs. Ming Guo taught her daughter.

The prince just laughed it off, and when the prince didn't speak, no one dared to answer this sentence again, this farce was over.

It is said that it is a banquet, and it is also a meeting of poetry and tea. After the opera is over, everyone gets up and walks around at will.

Shen Tuchan had no intention of participating in this. She really wanted to know what the Eighth Princess had arranged for her. Just as she was thinking, Zheng Cuicui, who was not far away from her, suddenly got up and threw herself on her, even grabbing her skirt with one hand and pulling it out. Shen Tuchan was thrown to the ground by her, and before she could move, she heard her shout: "Help! There are snakes! There are snakes!"

Everything is in the blink of an eye!Xiao Man hurriedly looked around, and when she looked back, Shen Tuchan had already been thrown to the ground by Zheng Cuicui.

Seeing that the clothes were about to be ripped off by her, Shen Tuchan kicked her belly hard. Zheng Cuicui covered her belly and fell to the side. Shen Tuchan hurriedly straightened the skirt with one hand, and He followed Xiaoman's hand to support her and stood up.

Looking up again, two huge black snakes appeared out of nowhere, and they were swimming towards Shen Tuchan with their cores spit out.

The scene was chaotic for a while, there were all noble ladies here, the men didn't dare to step forward for a while, Zheng Cuicui was still lying on the ground, and the eunuch over there shouted: "Escort! Escort!"

Before the eunuch came over here, Xiao Man quickly stepped forward and stepped on one of the snake heads, and the other had already slipped from her feet to Shen Tuchan. She hurriedly called out to Shen Tuchan as a reminder: "Miss, be careful!"

Zheng Cuicui bowed her body and hid back in fright, panicking all over, shouting for help indiscriminately.

Shen Tuchan kicked over the small table under the eyes of everyone. The small table was made of unknown material and it was very heavy. She pressed half of the snake's body on the spot. Under the carpet was green bricks, which were hard and flat. The snake spattered blood, and Shen Tuchan quickly stepped on the small table that had been turned upside down.

The black snake writhed the back half of its body in pain, and flicked its tail back and forth. The noble lady who was watching was terrified, and several eunuchs hurried forward to deal with the two snakes.

The maid came to help Zheng Cuicui, but she had fallen to the ground, her clothes were disheveled, and she was holding her stomach in pain, tears were streaming down her face, she was in a panic, Jun Xianrong hurriedly called someone to call the imperial physician.

Feng Yingru was so frightened that her heart almost stopped, she came over and anxiously held Shen Tuchan's hand to confirm, "Are you all right? Are you not injured?"

Shen Tuchan shook her head, Xiaoman took out the cloak and put it on for her, Zheng Cuicui pulled her clothes just now, although she didn't pull them off, they were still a little disheveled.

Shen Tuchan turned to look at the eighth princess, she was sitting where she was, with a venomous look on her face.

Princess Tai'an and Princess Baoqing saw that Shen Tuchan was fine, and they also took a look at Princess Ba.

There was nothing wrong with Shen Tuchan, Zheng Cuicui was crying over there with pear blossoms and rain, and Lord Xianrong ordered someone to take her to the wing.

Seeing that the matter failed, the eighth princess stood up and said, "Miss Shentu, why did you hit Miss Zheng just now?"

Few people saw that Shen Tuchan kicked Zheng Cuicui, the Eighth Princess didn't know martial arts, and it was even more impossible for her to see it. Shen Tuchan knew well that Zheng Cuicui was under the order of the Eighth Princess to harm her.
