Chapter 57
At the moment when the music sounded, all the palace lights suddenly went out, and the place that was originally illuminated by countless palace lights fell into darkness, causing an uproar.
Emperor Jin Cheng stood up suddenly, his anger soared, of course, he was most worried about his own safety, but soon found that he was surrounded by guards, "Your Majesty, the lowly position is E Hongfeng, responsible for protecting the emperor's safety." A familiar voice came, Emperor Jin Cheng didn't think of who it was for a while, and when he heard the other party report to his family, he remembered that he was one of the chief leaders in charge of the security of the palace, and the slightly rough voice made the emperor's heart settle down instantly, and he was somewhat satisfied with the fact that E Hongfeng came so quickly. There is no additional manpower today, and this kind of celebration will only be equipped with standard guards in order to show the bearing of a great country, so Emperor Jin Cheng feels that this guard leader has a lot of brains and knows how to take precautions.
In the view of Emperor Jin Cheng, E Hongfeng is now "working overtime" independently in order to protect his own safety. Although there will be nothing on the face, at least starting to have a good impression of this Edutain, it is more important than anything.
Like E Hongfeng, who came over without an order, strictly speaking, it is considered a private transfer of the army at a higher level, and it is not a joke to be dismissed, Fu Chen will only say the problem when he asks him, Fu Chen requires that during the entire state banquet, he must not only protect the emperor in the dark, but also be able to appear nearby when there is an emergency.
E Hongfeng is hesitant, the reason is that the favor owed is not so big for him to joke with his future, Fu Chen is just a small Congsanpin, but what can he do if he doesn't return the favor? He was so polite to Fu Chen, but in the eyes of many people, he was condescending, and it was very face-saving to listen to Fu Chen.
When making a choice, Fu Chen gave an analysis of the pros and cons, and finally E Hongfeng decided to take a risk.
Sometimes the errand, whether it is a big official or a small soldier, as long as there is no special appearance, no tough backstage, and the mouth is not sweet enough, it is difficult to get promoted.
At this moment and then, when he was sure to hear the gleeful chuckle of Emperor Jin Cheng, E Hongfeng knew that he had made the right bet!
This is already the second time, saying that Fu Chen owes him a favor, but it is he who gets more, once is a coincidence, so what about twice?
Will there be more?
He even had a crazy idea, hoping that Fu Chen would come to a few more "missions", and befriending this person might be a turning point in his life, E Hongfeng secretly planned.
The darkness is only a moment, and it is as if a streamer of light overflows in front of you, and a long or short band of light passes through the air.
If it was panicked just now, now it's surprise and amazement.
A panic, a joy, a strong contrast.
The mood was also stirred up like never before.
This psychological tactic can be regarded as a good start, and the first shot has been fired!
Fu Chen looked in the direction of Emperor Jin Cheng, and sure enough, when he saw that the emperor forgot to sit down, you will be surprised, I want her to be the most special woman in your vitality.
"Who arranged this?" Concubine Jin asked Fu Chen, she just asked casually. She was shocked by the spectacular scene of hundreds of flying fireflies, even if she was calm and calm, Concubine Jin was just a woman who had just entered the palace, and it was normal that she had never seen such a beautiful scenery, she muttered to herself, feeling a little strange, "I heard that it was done by the vocal music department, but in previous years, they didn't have such dexterous thoughts." β
"I arranged it." Fu Chen bent over, not surprised by her keen analysis, "Do you like it?" β
Qualified male. Pet is to let the master know that he cares about her from time to time, which Fu Chen has always been very dedicated.
Concubine Jin chuckled lightly and covered her mouth a little ungracefully, "If you don't pay attention to this palace, I will order someone to fork you down!" β
She obviously didn't believe it, Fu Chen smiled, although he was telling the truth.
The ink painting that had just come back from the tea just happened to hear Concubine Jin's last words, and then looked at Fu Chen, who was not surprised, and rolled his eyes: Niangniang, you are really forked! If someone forks it, see if you're not in a hurry? It's not up or down, it's not up or down.
It's that Concubine Jin has seen a lot of people in the world who are amazed by it, not to mention others.
"It's a firefly!"
"Oh my God, it's spectacular, it's beautiful!"
Those fireflies were released, and if someone looked closely, they would find that after Fu Chen made a gesture, only the eunuch opened the captured sacks and let them fly out.
From stepping on the point, capturing, and transporting to the palace, there is also a mortality rate and a day's life expectancy of a liuxue in the middle, this seemingly easy errand took them a lot of effort, these people are also the eunuchs of the Liu faction that Fu Chen protected before Liu Zong returned to the Internal Affairs Office, and they are reliable.
The fireflies shuttled through the crowd, and the women didn't even dare to blink, as if they were in the sky, that kind of beauty was rare in the era of lack of natural view, and talented officials had begun to write a poem on the spot, especially the Nine Emperor Princes, who were known as prodigies, were even more admired.
At this time, someone reacted, and the palace lights were all turned off just now, it turned out that it was just for the effect.
is worthy of the Jin Kingdom, and only the Jin Kingdom has such a unique program.
In order to hide his overly flustered appearance, someone whispered a complaint, "I already know, but it's just some carving insect skills, which is really ridiculous and generous." β
But because it was a state banquet, he only dared to say it in private, causing jokes.
Shao Huachi squinted slightly, looking at the glowing fireflies in the air, how could there be an inexplicable sense of familiarity in this scene, this shocking sense and this big stroke.
He looked in the direction of Fu Chen, and saw that Fu Chen was talking to Concubine Jin as if no one was around, all smiling, it seemed that Concubine Jin was quite lucky about this minion, and she didn't even care if it was known, she was indeed not worried, who in the palace didn't know that Fu Chen was a good slave who sacrificed himself, and it was natural to spoil him more.
Shao Huachi suddenly remembered that the three tasks he gave Fu Chen, except for the one that approached the national teacher to find out his purpose, has not made much progress at present, although it is not big, but Fu Chen also got acquainted with the national teacher, and the other Fu Chen has done too well!
Unexpectedly, why did he give Fu Chen such a task at that time?
Is!
How is it so an eyesore!
Bang bang, the palace lamp appeared, the palace maid wearing the flowing cloud gold silk skirt came from a distance, and the candles on the entire lighting platform were also lit.
"Wow-"
A lavish feast is about to begin.
There are two performance areas on the Dianjiang platform, one is a formal stage, and the other is an abandoned pond, above which stand stone pillars, the radius of which is very small, just enough for Cheng DΓΉ to stand on two feet.
It was the place where the favorite concubine of the Jin Taizong period performed the Dianjiang dance, which was extremely difficult and had been lost in the Qianping period.
Today, the regular stage part is used, and the Dianjiang platform is abandoned, and no one notices it at all.
Now a row of candles was lit on the stone pillars, and there were eunuchs in small boats lighting wax in the darkness below, and only then did everyone realize that they had not seen this dark place at all just now, and naturally they did not notice that there was a huge lotus flower on each stone pillar.
The lotus flower gradually opens, first the pink slowly fades, and the eyes are full of snow-like colors, out of the mud without staining, like a real lotus blooming, and the tender petals unfold the most beautiful posture.
Take a closer look, you can see those women wearing cloud gauze white dresses slowly get up from the center of the petals, move with the wind, step on the ensemble music of plywood, Xiao, Zheng and other musical instruments, they dance to the rhythm, the most striking is the woman in the front, her hand and foot are extremely graceful, the crescent moon is above, the moonlight falls on her, hazy vision, like the moon palace fairy stunning city, ethereal like a fairy.
Every spin, every movement is something that people can't help but look at, and she seems to have some kind of attractive magic.
In fact, this is just because Fu Chen has added some modern dance steps, which has an eye-catching effect in the melody of ancient rhyme.
Fireflies haunt her, a little starlight, high. When the tide rises, she jumps up from a high platform, making people's hearts tight, and then flutters down to the next high platform to show graceful dancing, and then jumps, dances again, and so on and forth, almost everyone is sucked by her and can't take their eyes off it.
She had a clear sense of taste, just immersed in her own world, and the darkness around her made her seem to dance in mid-air, her sleeves and skirt floating in the air, deriving a thrilling arc.
Even if he had seen it incomplete once, Emperor Jin Cheng was still shocked by the multifaceted nature of this woman, and he found that he couldn't help it.
He had never seen such an ethereal woman, like an unreachable fairy in the sky, lazy looking back on the world.
No, he would never let her go! Take this woman for yourself!
He had promised her that he would not accept her as a concubine without her consent, and at that time he thought that for this woman, it was just a sustenance for his mother's nostalgia, and he just wanted someone to talk to, and he didn't want to use the same set of ordinary women to make their relationship deteriorate.
But now, he's going to break his promise, and he's got *, never so thick*.
Want a woman!
Mei Jue, whether you agree or not this time, I can't let you out of my sight.
Even if he knew that this decision would make Mei Jue hate himself for the rest of his life.
The only woman he didn't want to persecute was now against her will.
Mei Jue, accompany me, you like this, how can I be willing to let you out of the palace!
Empress Wu Yinya looked at Emperor Jin Cheng's obsessive appearance, and her fingers tightly picked at the carved armrest.
Emperor Jin Cheng is not restrained in women, perhaps there is never a shortage of women, although he is lustful, he is not to the point of hunger. There are few such gaffes, that is, when Concubine Li was alive before, except for the initial pampering for a few months, and the day was not early, he had never seen him show such an inevitable madness to a woman, and before that he was even lacking in interest, he couldn't keep up his spirits at all!
She looked at the woman who led the dance, why had she never seen this woman in the palace, such a look was not in vain when Concubine Li was young!
It's really just a matter of not making a move, and as soon as you make a move, you will be shocked!
Those new show girls competed for beauty, and she was still thinking about who would take the lead this time, but she didn't expect to kill the dark horse halfway.
Wu Yinya gradually sank her anger and distorted feelings, the emperor is just a momentary interest, and he will soon get tired of it, just look at the previous Qi Guifei, no matter how much she is favored, she will not lose her square inch because of this little thing.
Constantly comforting herself, Wu Yinya regained the queen's bearing.
The successive blows of these days have made her tired to cope, and her depression and pain have been infinitely magnified, and she is naturally not as calm as before. I always keep recalling that I just didn't have a child in Changning Palace, and Emperor Jin Cheng announced Shao Huayang's sin outside, and now she has lost the right to the harem, lost the inheritance of her son, and the younger son is still in Qiangwu, what confidence does she have to fight for now?
And found that the emperor was out of shape, but the queen was not alone, originally Emperor Jin Cheng got up because of the short darkness just now, and before he could sit down, he started dancing over there, and this back and forth made people think that the emperor was fascinated by the dance and got up, which made many people's minds lively, who can not say that the entire palace thinking revolves around the emperor.
When the last action is over, there is another big exclamation.
In the distance, four golden characters appeared in the field of vision: Dominate the mountains and rivers.
Take a closer look, it is clear that the palace people are holding the palace lantern, and one person and one lamp piece together these words, which is too well connected with the dance, and I don't know how much time it took to rehearse. This ingenuity makes people marvel at the good intentions of the planners. Those four words are indeed too rampant, but it also depends on the temperament of the emperor now, and Emperor Jin Cheng is the best to be so happy.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Before people could come back to their senses, a group of eunuchs shouted in unison, obviously this was also a carefully arranged follow-up.
The force of shouting in unison was shocking, and everyone couldn't help but kneel.
"Good, good!" Emperor Jin Cheng laughed, his face was full of spirit, who doesn't like to be praised like this, admired by all the people, "All those who participate in this dance arrangement, arrangement, and music will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!" β
After a group of people thanked him, Emperor Jin Cheng withdrew his smiling face, looked at Mei Jue, who was kneeling above the stone pillar, and looked at Mei Jue, who was weak, with a slight meaning, "I once gave an edict, and those who are excellent in today's dance will be promoted, and Mei Jue will accept the order!" β
Some people also wondered why the emperor knew the name of a little lead dancer, but the confusion was quickly dispelled by the emperor's next sentence.
"The slave is here."
"Today, there are 12 aunts Mei Jue in the west of Longyu, who is virtuous and has a good temperament, elegant demeanor, high quality, and is uncommon in the state banquet.
This time, it caused quite a stir, this time it was a state banquet, not only the concubines in the palace would arrive, but also courtiers, wives and some family members could also attend.
Wanyi, that is from the position of the fourth grade, how can there be such a high position in the first canonization. Just look at the show girls who have just entered the palace, which one is not starting from a low level, and those who have not been fortunate are even no grade, or they are fortunate to do it from changing clothes and agreeing to do it.
Besides, the word Deshu is not used casually, and the four concubines can match these words, which is a very high evaluation of women in the palace.
The last is to give the title, the title also depends on the emperor's mood and whether he attaches importance to this concubine, just like the previous Concubine De, the full name of Concubine De is Concubine Jinde, Jin is the word given by the emperor, compared with other concubines who are just surnames and concubines, it is the highest at the same stage.
It's that Concubine De has been demoted, and the title is still there, so no one dares to offend her.
In the same way, the Mei title given by this is two different things from her surname Mei, and those who are interested will also find that the word Mei, Mei Lan Zhuju ranks first, and the emperor has put a lot of thought into this Mei Wanyi.
Mei Jue looked up in horror, perhaps too surprised, she had no joy at all, only full of disbelief, and then turned into anger and accusation.
She boldly looked at Emperor Jin Cheng with accusatory eyes, as if she wanted to resist the decree and disobey it, "slave maid ......"
Emperor Jin Cheng was stung by Mei Jue's gaze, not only was he not offended by anger, but he was full of guilt and more and more provoked conquest*, only he knew the purity of this woman, she really didn't want to enter the harem, he ruined her! But he doesn't regret it!
He turned away, not giving Mei Jue a chance to refuse, and interrupted directly.
This public refusal not only damaged his emperor's face, but also made a joke with his own life, and said ruthlessly: "Next show, come up!" β
Mei Jue saw that there was no turning point, so she had no choice but to get off the platform, and until she left, she didn't look in Fu Chen's direction, and Fu Chen was the same.
Any plan, in the process of execution, they are two unrelated individuals.
Breaking into the heart of Emperor Jin Cheng, this plan has been completed to the third step!
Fu Chen poured wine for Concubine Jin, and looked in the direction of Shen Xiao in the afterglow, still talking and smiling with the princess, and there was nothing strange about it.
In the sky, the horn has not yet appeared.
Fu Chen did not relax, but even so, without knowing the law and the other party's purpose, he could not make countermeasures in advance.
He saw Shen Xiao moving slowly under the table, it was a teacup fragment!
What is he going to do?
The splinter was pinched and cut the palm of the other hand.
Blood flowed and rushed out.
He cut himself and mutilated himself? No, there must be a connection, what is it?
Fu Chen raised his head and appeared!
The rhino farrow.
At this point, so coincidentally?
It was coming in his direction.
Over there, Princess Yongle also noticed that Shen Xiao was injured, and was whispering about the injury, Shen Xiao also responded gently and comforted, but his eyes seemed to be searching the audience, and he was paying attention to the direction of the rhino's flight.
Gradually, it moved in the direction of Fu Chen.
Worst!
The aroma, the smell that had been smelled before when the dead man pounced, reappeared!
Blood--Aroma-Rhinoceros!
This is the key, but after Fu Chen finished contacting, it was too late.
The horn sparrow, getting closer and closer, seemed to be able to accurately capture his location no matter how he dodged.
Shen Xiao's gaze was also sharper and shining.
The rhino sparrow screamed, sprinted obliquely, and then slowly landed on Fu Chen's shoulder.
