Chapter 32: The Pleasures of the Boudoir
The prince was boredly rummaging through the fish on the plate with chopsticks, Nanhou's words made him suddenly give up his interest in fish, he picked up Ling Caiwei opposite, her pair of thick curly eyelashes trembled slightly under the light, and only trembled, then calmly picked up the cup on the table and stood up.
"The queen has an overreputation, and it is the son's duty as the crown princess to teach the concubines in the palace. I really don't dare to worry about the queen. Ling Caiwei looked around the hall, her slender and delicate waist was straight, in front of Nanhou, who was in awe of everyone, she had no fear at all, and raised her glass to Nanhou: "This cup of wine should be a courtier to the queen, compared with the majesty of your harem and impartial law enforcement, Erchen has still learned a little." In the future, the ministers will ask you for more advice. With that, she covered half of her face with her sleeve and tilted her head to dry the wine.
Since the prince's wedding, the Southern Emperor took into account the prince's physical inconvenience, and specially issued a decree to exempt the couple from the etiquette of greeting in the palace. Therefore, after Lin Liangdi was caught in the dungeon for witch crimes, Nanhou never had the opportunity to ask for the guilt, and even the people she sent to the prince's mansion to pick up Lin Liangdi were sent back by the prince and his wife. I finally saw them and his wife today, and there was no reason to easily expose the matter.
Although Lin Liangdi is just a chess piece, it also depends on the master to fight the dog, and Nanhou looked at Ling Caiwei with cold eyes: "Recently, this palace has followed Master Jingkong to study Buddhism, and the most touching thing is the great compassion that Buddhism says. The crown princess is young, and she must accumulate more blessings for her future heirs. There should be more room for dealing with things, and it is also for others to be human. ”
The sharp edge in Nanhou's words rushed towards Ling Caiwei with a murderous aura, causing her to breathe slightly, and she caught a glimpse of the prince's eager gaze at her, and suddenly realized that unconditional concession would only make people weak. She hated the woman in front of her and didn't want to suppress her disgust for her.
"The Buddha said that the wicked harm the sage, and they still look up to the sky and spit on them, but they do not spit on the sky, and they fall from themselves. If the seed is the cause, and the harvest is the effect, the queen please be relieved, the sons are merciful, and the gods are wise, and the wicked will definitely be punished as they deserve. Her eyes were like cold stars, and she couldn't take her eyes off Yuan Leyao, who was vicious but persuaded others to be merciful.
Nam Rongyeol's heart that he had been carrying was finally put down. He knew that his beloved concubine was sharp-toothed and her ability to think and argue was not inferior to him, and seeing that she not only did not suffer a loss under the difficulties of the Southern Queen, but had the upper hand, he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, lowered his head and took a sip of wine, hiding his pride at the moment.
"The princess of the country is different from the women of the southern country, I don't know if the princess has any other skills to let the palace and the people present learn a thing or two. Nanhou helped the broken hair between his sideburns, and rarely showed a bright smile: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and at this time in previous years, there were some kaki and maiko performances, and there was no novelty every year, which made people annoyed to watch." I heard that the crown princess sang well when she was defending the country, and they were all fresh songs, so it was better to let everyone feast their ears today. ”
The lights and candles in the hall crackled one after another, and the stagnant atmosphere in the air flowed a little, and His Highness held his breath and secretly gasped for breath in this crackling sound.
"Okay, great. The queen mother's proposal is quite satisfactory to me. King Xian sat in his seat and clapped his hands happily, and the prince glanced at him with his spare eyes. "I don't think that's the right idea. Nan Ronglie leaned back on the chair and stretched lazily before continuing: "This king heard that Princess Xian is good at the art of royal horses, and she carries a reinless horse with a leather whip and often whips it, forgetting that she is an animal. It's better to perform a piece of work for everyone first. ”
As soon as Nan Ronglie's words fell, King Huai squirted out a sip of tea, and several other princes were embarrassed by their feelings, and they couldn't hold back their laughter and didn't dare to make a sound. King Xian's face turned from red to white, from white to blue, and he opened his mouth to say something, but somehow swallowed it. Princess Xian was so ashamed that she covered her red face with a handkerchief, and her head was so low that she wanted to burrow under the table.
"Prince, what kind of occasion is this to speak without a sense of proportion, it is simply too unruly. Nan Hou's face turned red, and his eyes glared at Nan Ronglie with anger, and he said leisurely as if he didn't see it: "Erchen knew that the queen mother wanted to watch the show, so he specially recommended it, if you don't like to watch it, you can change the show, why be angry." ”
Nanhou was angry for a while, and the palace maid next to her was busy beating her back and stroking her chest.
Ling Caiwei wondered the reason and wanted to ask Princess Qi next to her for advice. Seeing that she kept her head down and was concentrating on drinking the tea that had already been cold, and didn't care about her, she put away her thoughts.
How did she know that the art of the royal horse in the prince's mouth was the matter of the boudoir and the bed. The joy of the flute. King Xian has a strong taste, likes to look for excitement when he has sex, and often goes to brothels to have fun. In order to capture his heart, Princess Qi learned a set of husband control techniques from somewhere and used them on King Xian. I didn't expect King Xian to be tired of it from then on, although he was often bruised by Princess Xian, but he doted on her, although these things are secrets, but it is inevitable that the eunuchs and palace maids with many mouths will spread as anecdotes.
The so-called good things don't go out, and bad things go thousands of miles. What's more, there is still such an anecdote about the pleasures of the boudoir, and it will not take long for it to spread among the royal family. When Nanhou heard this, she was so angry that she almost wanted to divorce this virtuous princess, but it was her precious son who stopped her alive and dead, so she stayed. Punish her for copying women's virtues and Buddhist scriptures for half a year as a punishment.
This was two years ago, and the prince turned it out and made a fuss about it, which was nothing more than angry that the Southern Empress did not respect Ling Caiwei and wanted to be angry with them.
Sure enough, a trick worked, and Nanhou didn't mention letting Ling Caiwei sing.
Suddenly, the dancers who had been prepared for a long time were allowed to enter the hall by the south, and posed closely in the middle of the main hall, the musicians played a song of spring and the moon, and the young woman in the tulle dress waved her long sleeves, and the middle of the hall was like a budding flower, which bloomed instantly under the hypnosis of the music.
The dinner is officially begins. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At least under the cover of the music, the tension eased temporarily.
Nan Ronglie was worried about Nanhuang's physical condition, so he took advantage of this gap and quietly left the table to visit Nanhuang. Before leaving the hall, he glanced at Ling Caiwei opposite, who was looking intently at the women dancing in the middle of the hall, as if attracted by their movements.
Actually, she didn't see anything, she was just thinking about it.
Ni Xiaonuan didn't like singing and dancing, and her eyes were attracted by the little ferret in King Huai's arms. She ran over and begged King Huai to come and play for a long time, and King Huai advised: "This is my new one, the beast nature has not been removed, you be careful that it bites you." The ferret was quite quiet in King Huai's arms, but as soon as it reached Ni Xiaonuan's hand, it became restless, and its two round eyes swirled around on a group of female dependents, and suddenly it was like crazy, let out a strange scream, turned around and bit Xiao Nuan's hand, Xiao Nuan shook it off in pain, and the little animal jumped down and shuttled from the dancing kabuki.
The kabuki felt a cloud of white lightning scurrying under their feet, and they were so frightened that they had long forgotten their dance steps, screaming and jumping to avoid the ferrets.
When King Huai saw the change, he was afraid that the ferret would frighten Nanhou, so he hurriedly got up to chase after him, and the maiko who couldn't dodge was either knocked down by King Huai or accidentally fell into his arms. The chaos in the hall was suddenly like a startled horse breaking into the crowd, and there were signs of people turning on their backs.
"Catch it, don't let it hurt the Queen. Du Fu stopped in front of Nanhou, and the palace maids with him also surrounded him.
Who knew that the target of the ferret was not Nanhou at all, it bypassed the crowd, dodged obstacles and pursuits, and pounced on Ling Caiwei, who was staring wide-eyed.
