Concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion: The princess is not to be messed with

Chapter 570
next day
Naturally, many princes from aristocratic families came to the poetry meeting held by Mo Xiangye.In the garden of the prime minister's mansion, Mo Zhengqing set up tables, pens and ink, as well as fine wine and food.

The sky is also beautiful on this day, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is cloudless.The sun in this spring is very comfortable without drying people.

There was also a beautiful woman sitting in the pavilion talking about the qin, and the sound of the qin was like high mountains and flowing water.

Du Xiuyan sat on his seat, watching several talented scholars reciting poems and juxtaposing each other, feeling very bored.After drinking a cup of tea, I think the sound of the piano sounds better.

He originally thought that Miss Mo Er would be in the mansion, but when he entered the mansion, he asked the servants.It was only then that I was told that Miss Mo Er had gone to the palace early in the morning and was not in the mansion at this time.

Since Miss Mo Er is not here, he can leave as long as he survives the poetry meeting.

Mo Zhengqing picked up his wine glass, and said to Du Xiuyan, "Du Zhuangyuan is a rare visitor, come and respect Du Zhuangyuan for a glass."

In the past, the arrogant Du Xiuyan didn't pick up the posts he handed over, but he didn't expect him to pick up this time, and this person came.

"I should respect the Prime Minister." Du Xiuyan picked up the wine glass, clinked the wine glass with Mo Zhengqing in the air, and drank the wine in the glass.

"Du Zhuangyuan has never participated in the poetry meeting held by someone else. It really is that Mo Xiang has a lot of face, and this Du Zhuangyuan is still here." An official son looked at Du Xiuyan and said, he was somewhat displeased with this Du Xiuyan. A noble look.But he was just a poor scholar. After he was admitted to the No. [-] Scholar, he pretended to be big.Not even giving face to the emperor, such a haughty person is really irritating to see.

"Since Du Zhuangyuan is here, let us see the literary talents of this Zhuangyuan!"

"That's right! That's right! It's said that Du Zhuangyuan is extremely talented and well-educated, so I can see him today."

Du Xiuyan frowned and said in a loud voice: "You guys are exaggerating. Xiuyan has only studied for more than ten years, and he was lucky enough to win the number one prize. He is very talented and well-educated. Xiuyan really can't afford it. !"

Mo Zhengqing stretched out his hand and said, "Why should Du Zhuangyuan be modest? I've read Du Zhuangyuan's article. It's unique, well-organized, and well-written!"

Although Du Xiuyan is a bit noble and has refuted his face, he still values ​​Du Xiuyan.It may be that the previous life experience is somewhat similar!Like Du Xiuyan, he came from a poor family.They were both admitted to the top prize at a young age, so they felt a little sympathetic to each other.

The person playing the piano in that pavilion was none other than Mo Qingqing. I heard that Mo Zhengqing praised Du Xiuyan so much.Mo Qingqing was very happy in her heart. Doesn't this mean that her father likes Du Zhuangyuan very much?

"Master Xiang is absurd."

Under Mo Zhengqing's strong request, Du Xiuyan composed two poems, which won Mo Zhengqing's appreciation.

Halfway through the poetry meeting, someone finally mentioned the person in the pavilion.

"Master Xiang doesn't know, but who is the person playing the qin in the pavilion?" The qin has been playing for an hour without interruption, the wind lifted the veil, but the figure of the woman in the pavilion can be vaguely seen.

After all, they are not today, it is so simple to simply come to participate in a poetry meeting, it is time for the Fourth Miss of the Mo family to appear.

"Don't say it, this piano is very good, no worse than Miss Mo!"

"Master Xiang also let us see the real face of this piano player!"

"Hehe" Mo Zhengqing stroked his beard and laughed, and said to everyone: "Okay, let you have a look, Qingqing came out to meet you young masters."

All the sons of the aristocratic family looked at the pavilion.It seems that they guessed right, the person playing the piano in the pavilion is really Miss Mo Si.

Du Xiuyan just glanced at the pavilion and drank his own tea.

Vaguely looking at the pavilion, a slender figure stood up, and lifted the veil with a bare hand.Mo Qingqing, who was dressed in pink, came out from the inside. She had light makeup and elegant hair accessories, and she walked like a weak wind blowing willows.

"What a beauty." A young master couldn't help but praise.

In the past, the eldest lady of the Mo family and the second lady were there, but they didn't notice the beauty of the fourth lady.Looking at it today, this fourth young lady is also a delicate beauty!

Mo Qingqing saw Du Xiuyan at first glance, and lowered her head to sneak a glance at Du Xiuyan.I haven't seen him for a long time, but Mr. Du is a bit handsome, which makes people very excited.

Mo Qingqing Shi Ran walked to Mo Zhengqing's case, and said to Mo Zhengqing, "My daughter has met her father."

"En." Mo Zhengqing nodded.

Mo Qingqing turned sideways, blessed Du Xiuyan and said: "The little girl has met Du Zhuangyuan, and all the young masters." The tenderness of Mo Qingqing's little daughter made her even more beautiful.

Du Xiuyan stood up, and politely returned the salute: "I have met Miss Mo Si."

This Mo Qingqing greeted Du Xiuyan alone, and the other young masters also understood a little bit.The enthusiasm for Mo Qingqing has also dropped a little bit. The Fourth Miss Mo greeted Du Xiuyan alone, so she meant to treat Du Zhuangyuan on behalf of others?
This Du Xiuyan likes the Second Miss Mo, who has already been appointed as the Crown Princess.This Du Xiuyan is out of play, but if there is no sister, isn't there a sister?It seems that Du Xiuyan is destined to be the son-in-law of the Mo family.

The garden is full of men, so Mo Qingqing can't stay longer, but when she saw someone, she went back again.

The fourth aunt also came out and took a look at Du Xiuyan. She was very satisfied with his appearance and praised Mo Qingqing for his good eyesight.

After the poetry meeting was over, everyone left, but Mo Zhengqing left Du Xiuyan alone.Because Mo Qingling had said it in advance, Du Xiuyan also knew what Mo Zhengqing was going to do.

In the flower hall, Mo Zhengqing and Fourth Aunt sat on the main seat, and Du Xiuyan sat on the chair on the right.

After serving tea, the maids retreated to one side to serve.

The fourth aunt is the mother-in-law, and the more she looks at her son-in-law, the more she is satisfied. She thinks that Mr. Du is a good match for her Qingqing.Although Si Yiniang had heard about Du Xiuyan's liking for Mo Qingling.But if Mo Qingling is now the princess, it's not what Du Xiuyan thinks about, so the fourth aunt doesn't care very much.

Mo Qingqing hid behind the screen and watched secretly. After all, it was her parents who wanted to talk about her marriage, and it was not good for a daughter of hers to be present.If she insisted on being there, Mr. Du might think that she was frivolous again.

"Who else is in Du Zhuangyuan's family?" Fourth Aunt looked at Du Xiuyan and asked.

Du Xiuyan replied: "There is only my mother in the family, and now I have received Jingzhong to live with me."

Si Yiniang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Du Zhuangyuan is a dutiful son!"

Regarding Si Yiniang's compliment, Du Xiuyan just smiled and did not speak.

"What does Du Zhuangyuan think of our Fourth Miss?" Fourth Aunt looked at Du Xiuyan and asked.

Du Xiuyan said: "Miss Fourth is the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, how dare Xiuyan make unreasonable judgments."

Fourth Aunt and Mo Zhengqing looked at each other, their expressions a little embarrassed.

Mo Qingqing behind the screen was in a hurry, and asked Hongyu next to her in a low voice: "Hongyu, what do you mean by Mr. Du?"

Hongyu thought for a while and said, "Perhaps this young master is shy."

Mo Qingqing frowned and looked at Du Xiuyan through the gap in the screen. Is he really shy?
"Our Fourth Young Lady has a bit of admiration for Du Zhuangyuan, and we are also very fond of Du Zhuangyuan. I don't know Mr. Du, but is she interested in marrying our Mo family?"

As soon as Si Yiniang's words fell, Mo Zhengqing's face became dark.This fourth aunt spoke so bluntly, if Du Xiuyan refused, wouldn't it be a slap in the face for him?

For the sake of her daughter, fourth aunt couldn't care less.If he was playing Tai Chi with Du Xiuyan, Du Xiuyan might have let this matter pass him by.

Du Xiuyan stood up, first cupped his hands at the two of them and said, "Xiuyan appreciates the kindness of Master Xiang and his wife. It's just that Xiuyan's son from a poor family really can't afford to climb up to such a high-ranking family as the Xiangfu. Grandpa and Madam's kindness."

He didn't think that such a direct refusal would leave room for both parties.It's just that the fourth aunt asked so directly, and he could only refuse so directly.

Mo Zhengqing glared at Si Yiniang, and stood up straight away.Looking at Du Xiuyan with displeasure, he said: "There are still things to deal with, so Du Zhuangyuan can do it himself!"

"Master Xiang..."

Mo Zhengqing didn't seem to hear Fourth Aunt's voice, and walked away in a huff.This Du Xiuyan first rejected his family's Xianyu, and now he rejected Qingqing. He really didn't give him any face.

Du Xiuyan glanced at Fourth Aunt, then cupped his hands at Fourth Aunt and said: "Xiuyan also bid farewell first."

"Du Xiuyan, stop for me." Mo Qingqing came out from behind the screen with eyes wide open.

Du Xiuyan turned around and looked at Mo Qingqing and said, "What's the matter with Fourth Miss calling Xiuyan? If nothing happens, Xiuyan will leave."

"Why? Why do you treat me like this? If my place is not good, you don't want to marry me. "

Du Xiuyan said: "Miss Fourth is very good, it's just that Xiuyan is not good enough for Miss Fourth."

Mo Qingqing was trembling with anger, her own teeth marks were bitten on her lips.

"How can you not be worthy of me? How can you not be worthy of me if you are a champion. Since I saw you for the first time on the boat that day, I have fallen in love with you. When I met you on the street , I just wanted to help you, but you abandoned my good intentions like shoes. Also in the palace, I mustered up the courage to express my heart to you, but you turned a blind eye to my sincerity. Today you refused mercilessly , Du Xiuyan, I love you so much, are you not tempted at all?" Speaking of the sad part, Mo Qingqing actually shed a line of tears.

Du Xiuyan couldn't bear it in his heart. He had some prejudice against Miss Mo Si at first.His attitude towards her is also very bad, she just really likes him.

"Feel sorry."

Fourth Yiniang couldn't help touching her tears, it seemed that Qingqing really had a deep-rooted affection for Du Zhuangyuan, and she didn't even know about these things.

"You don't need to be sorry, Du Xiuyan, I can assure you that there will never be anyone in this life who loves you more than me, definitely." Mo Qingqing finished speaking firmly, turned and walked out.

"Qingqing" Fourth Aunt wanted to chase him out immediately, but the guest hadn't left yet, how could she leave first.

Fourth Yiniang sighed, looked at Du Xiuyan and said, "Du Zhuangyuan has forgotten what happened today!"

Du Xiuyan nodded stiffly, turned around and left before he reached the door, when he heard someone shouting: "It's not good, Fourth Miss threw herself into the lake."

"Qingqing" the fourth aunt yelled and passed out.

"Fourth aunt, fourth aunt" the maids in the room hurriedly helped fourth aunt up and pinched her among the people.

Du Xiuyan only felt that his eyes were dark, his body swayed, he gathered his mind and hurriedly ran towards the lake.
