170.Xia Ji's Troubled Times (10)
When Chen Linggong and Yixing's father came to Sima's mansion, they saw the peach blossoms all over the surrounding mountains, forming a sea of crimson flowers. The breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers refreshes people's hearts. Sima's Mansion is located in this sea of flowers, as if it were located in paradise.
"This king remembers that when the royal uncle got married, this place was not like this, and it was no different from other places. Now that it has been made like this, it seems that this royal uncle of this king is also a seed of infatuation! Chen Linggong couldn't help but sigh.
It is said that Mrs. Xia likes peach blossoms, so Lord Xia asked people to plant peach trees on all their fiefdoms to please her. This kind of courage can't be done by the ministers themselves. Father Yi Xing followed Chen Linggong's words and said.
He's not praising Uncle Xia, he's just hinting that he's a guy who is dazed. Although there is no contradiction between them, some people just belittle others to highlight their own value. This is just a reflex behavior.
However, Chen Linggong's brain circuit is not the same as ordinary people. He didn't hear the implicit meaning of the words, but pulled in another direction.
"The woman who can make Uncle Yu so attentive and make Gongsun Ning so infatuated is definitely not ordinary. It seems that this king will not be disappointed today. Chen Linggong took a few steps forward with a smile, pointed to the black gate and said to the inner supervisor below: "Call the door!" ”
The inner eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and slammed the door loudly: "People from Sima Mansion, open the door quickly!" The king is here! ”
As a result, I shouted several times but there was no movement. That's not right! I've said hello before! How could there be no one? The inner prisoner was wondering in his heart, and suddenly heard a crisp and transparent sound of a string of pianos like a silver bottle breaking and pearls falling on a jade plate, and suddenly forgot the movements of his hands.
Chen Linggong and Yixing's father followed the prestige, only to see a path on a small hill on the left, surrounded by various flowers, winding up. At the end of the path is a terrace, where a beautiful woman in a light veil is dancing among the flowers. Looking at it from afar, I saw that its body was like a swimming dragon, its sleeves were like Su Yu, its dancing posture was elegant, and its body was graceful. The action is like a wave, like a cloud, like a rainbow flying, like a smoke, floating like a floating cloud, like a frightening Hong, it is really beautiful. Chen Linggong and Yixing's father couldn't help but be attracted to attention.
The sound of the piano in my ears was as clear as splashing jade, trembling like a dragon's groan. They stopped and looked at it for a moment, only to feel that the woman's raised long sleeves, fluttering long coat, and graceful posture were all interpreting beauty. The two of them glanced at each other, and their eyes flashed with amazement.
The sound of the piano jingled, and there seemed to be a curling singing. Although it is indistinct, the faint melody sounds even more soul-grabbing. Chen Linggong and Yixing's father coincidentally stepped on the flower path.
Halfway up the mountainside, Xia Ji, who was hiding in the peach blossom forest, played with the phoenix body Jiaowei qin under her hand and sang softly.
"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. One look at the city, and then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country? It's hard to get a beautiful woman! ”
Chen Linggong and Father Yi Xing were immersed in the beautiful sound of the piano and singing, and walked towards the terrace on the mountain step by step.
The terrace was built neither high nor low, not far or close, exactly five hundred paces away. The people at the foot of the hill were just able to see the figures on the terrace, listening to the sound of the piano and singing on the mountainside along the way.
When they reached the terrace, the piano stopped abruptly, and Natsuki finished singing the last note.
Xiao Su heard the sound of the piano stop and knew that the critical moment had come. She slowly stopped her figure, looked at the position where Chen Linggong was standing, pretended to be indifferent, and fell down softly.
The clothes Xiao Su is wearing today are made of translucent green yarn, which is different from the style of the top and bottom at this time, Xia Ji designed it into the style of the Tang Dynasty dance costume, with sleeves that are two meters long. Natsuhime asked her to learn the movements of the spinning dance, which was to perform long sleeves. As long as you turn well, you can keep the same movement on your hands.
Her makeup was also designed by Natsuhime herself. At this time, people rarely combed their hair in a high bun, but Xia Ji made her a startling bun and braided her hair on the top of her head to make it look like a frightened bird spreading its wings and flying high. Then she painted golden eyeshadow with pollen, with the eyebrows that flew obliquely into the temples, and the five-petal plum blossom between the forehead, it was really charming and charming.
Now that Xiao Su fell into Chen Linggong's arms, his little heart was really beating with nervousness. Chen Linggong also looked excited. He had never seen a woman dressed like this. This is much more beautiful than those women who only wear deep clothes and comb short buns. Moreover, the smell of peach blossoms made him feel intoxicated. That's right, the fragrance emanated from the beauty in front of her, not from the peach forest next to her. Chen Linggong looked at the delicate face in front of him, thinking that such a fairy-like beauty would be brought to the palace for everything.
Although the father of the ceremony on the side was eager to replace Chen Linggong to support the beauty, he could only look at the greed. The king is here, he can't rob it with King Chen Ling! Although King Chen Ling sometimes shared his women with them, that was when King Chen Ling took the initiative. If he dared to ask for it, he would be impatient.
He didn't realize that the woman in front of him was a small cat after changing her makeup.
The untimely voice of the inner supervisor next to "bold ......" sounded, and before the end of the note fell, Chen Linggong waved his hand to stop it.
No matter how greedy you are in front of you, you have to do enough tricks first. Xiao Su struggled to get up, bowed to Chen Linggong Yingying, and said: "Xiao Su is rude, please punish the king!" ”
"Xiao Su, your name is Xiao Su? Good name, this king remembers. Chen Linggong picked up Xiao Su and took her in his arms.
"Are you a peach essence? How can there be the fragrance of peach blossoms on the body? Chen Linggong asked with a smile while sniffing carefully on her.
"Returning to the king, this is the body odor of the concubine's birth." Xiao Su knows very well that if it weren't for this dress and this makeup, his appearance could only be regarded as an upper-middle level. If there is no abnormality in the body, how can the king treat him differently? As for what to do in the future, as long as I can continue to get peach blossom dew from my wife!
Chen Linggong smiled with satisfaction, and whispered in Xiao Xu's ear: "Are you willing to go back to the palace with me?" ”
Except for the last time when she was saved by Xia Ji when she was dying of starvation on the side of the road, this is simply the most wonderful language Xiao Su has ever heard.
"Hmm!" Xiao Su nodded shyly.
Small flocculents? Yixing's father was shocked, carefully observed the eyebrows and eyes of the beautiful woman in front of him, and vaguely saw the shadow of the girl in the past. I couldn't help beating my chest.
I knew that she would be so beautiful if she was carefully dressed, so I got her home in the first place. Thinking that Gongsun Ning had already brought Xiao Liu'er to his own mansion, Yixing's father was a little envious in his heart.
Chen Linggong sat at the top of the main hall in the outer courtyard of Sima Mansion, pulling the smooth and tender Rouyi of the small flocculent, and looked at Xia Ji who was sitting at the bottom, his eyes were full of disappointment.
This is the fairy-like beauty that Gongsun Ning said he would never forget? Although she is not as beautiful as other women of the same age, but looking at her sallow and freckled skin, and a few gray hairs exposed from her sideburns, a fool will think that she is as beautiful as a fairy, right? Gongsun Ning must have been bitten stupidly by that wild dog.
Looking at the new people around him, Chen Linggong showed a satisfied look. Fortunately, he didn't come in vain today, God gave him another beautiful woman.
Father Yi Xing looked at Xia Ji and sighed. She was still very beautiful when he left last time, Gongsun Ning's praise for her was not false, why didn't she look old when she didn't see her for twenty days? Sure enough, when a woman is old, she says that when she gets old, she will get old!
He looked at Xiao Su beside Chen Linggong again, and he almost couldn't hold back his jealousy. Sure enough, women still have to look for young ones! Suddenly, Xia Ji's thoughts faded a little.
After Xia Nan finished seeing Chen Linggong, he stood aside obediently, looking at his mother intently. After watching it for a long time, he suddenly couldn't help but smile, and he quickly covered his face with his hands to prevent Chen Linggong and Yixing's father from discovering it.
Fortunately, Xiao Su was talking at this time, and no one noticed his side.
"The king, the concubine lost her parents since she was a child, encountered a famine, and almost starved to death on the side of the road. Fortunately, my wife rescued me and brought me back to the house to raise me, so I have today. The concubine originally wanted to serve his wife for the rest of his life in order to repay her great kindness. It's just that ...... now" Xiao Su said this, glanced at Chen Linggong shyly, and stopped talking.
"This king understands!" Chen Linggong looked clear, turned his head and said to Xia Ji: "Madame has anything to need, just tell this king." This king will compensate you on behalf of Xiaowu! ”
"Back to the king, the courtiers don't need anything, I just hope that Nan'er can grow up as much as possible, and be like his father in the future." Xia Ji looked at Xia Nan and said expectantly. Then he quietly glanced at Xiao Su.
Chen Linggong didn't hear the meaning of Xia Ji's words at all, and didn't answer.
Xiao Su received Xia Ji's signal and immediately launched an offensive against Chen Linggong.
"Oh King, you still don't understand? Madame's only wish is for her son to inherit his father's business! Although the son has not yet reached the age of the weak crown, he has grown in size. If he can inherit his father's business and inherit Sima's throne, I can follow the king into the palace with peace of mind. Otherwise, how could a concubine leave her benefactor behind and enjoy glory and wealth alone? ”
Xiao Su said with tears in her eyes, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Chen Linggong saw that the beauty was crying, and he immediately became anxious. "Okay, good, it's all up to you, it's all up to you! Someone comes, pass on the order, and from now on, Xia Nan, the son of Xia Sima in the past, will inherit the position of Sima of Chen Guo. Ordered all the ministries to send the crown and uniform printing book. Is that okay? ”
Xiao Su burst into tears and smiled: "Thank you, King!" The concubine also just wants to repay the favor and be with you well. ”
"The king knows! The king knows! Chen Linggong gently stroked Xiao Su's fair arm, enjoying the beauty's dependence.
