Chapter 35: In the Hall of Roaring
"Princess Rena is really temperamental, well, I will allow you not to take off the veil!" Listening to the strong and resolute words of the princess of the Western Regions, Emperor Daqian smiled loudly and couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart.
In Daqian, it is a great disrespect to the emperor to hide his face when he sees the emperor, and today the emperor of Daqian authorized the princess of the Western Regions not to take off the veil, which can be regarded as a gift, plus the sincerity of the marriage.
"Thank you, Emperor Daqian!" the princess of the Western Regions saluted again.
"Princess Gena doesn't have to be polite!"
Emperor Daqian read the letter of state submitted by the Western Regions, and said: "The letter of state mentions that Princess Rena wants to choose a young talent between the ages of twenty and twenty-three in my Daqian to complete the marriage, but she has to pass your three tests, I don't know what those three tests are?"
The princess of the Western Regions said: "If you want to be my husband, you must be an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, first of all, the first test, naturally it is a martial arts test, Rena doesn't want her husband in the future to not be able to protect me!"
"After the Great Dry Dynasty Meeting, I hope that Your Majesty will set up a ring for Rena in front of Suzaku Heavenly Street, and only those who get the top ten in the martial arts test can participate in the second test of Rena. ”
"That's easy to do!" Emperor Daqian directly agreed: "Now that the young talents from all over my Daqian are gathering in the imperial capital, after the imperial meeting, I will order someone to set up a ring in front of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Street for Princess Rena!"
Lin Mo listened quietly on the side, a little interested in his heart, although he was more than twenty-three years old, this princess of the Western Regions had nothing to do with him, but watching the martial arts competition, he must bring a few ladies to join in the fun!
"The first test is a martial arts test, so I don't know what is the second test of Princess Rena?" After finalizing a test, Emperor Daqian asked the second: "Could it be a literary test?"
"Exactly!" The princess of the Western Regions said categorically: "Rena doesn't want my future husband to be a rough man who only understands martial arts and doesn't understand words.
"Then I don't know what the third test of Princess Gena is, and it also prepares my young talents!" King Rong suddenly spoke, smiling.
The princess of the Western Regions said: "It's very simple, that is, in the competition with me, defeat me, my future husband of Dilibel Rena, must be stronger than me, and can be her wife willingly!"
"Oh, Princess Rena is not joking!" King Rong's face changed slightly: "I heard that Princess Rena is a genius in cultivation, and she has already advanced to the realm of the Great Swordsman when she was nineteen years old, and it is difficult for a young talent between the ages of twenty and twenty-three to be able to beat you!"
Hearing King Rong's words, the faces of all the courtiers and Emperor Daqian were a little unsightly: Isn't this princess of the Western Regions specially here to humiliate Daqian's face?
Just when the courtiers and the Emperor Daqian were unhappy, the princess of the Western Regions spoke: "That's easy to do, I will relax the age to twenty-four years old!"
It was only relaxed by one year, which is equivalent to not relaxing, the faces of Emperor Daqian and the courtiers were still a little unsightly, and the courtiers below were talking about something.
Xiyu may have seen everyone's difficulties, and added: "Please also rest assured that His Majesty the Emperor Daqian, Rena is really going to choose a wishful person in Daqian, if that person appears, Rena will naturally lose!"
"Okay then, I'll be sure!" Listening to the princess of the Western Regions' almost reassuring words, Emperor Daqian's face became a little better: "At noon, I and the Empress Dowager set up a banquet for Princess Gena, and asked Princess Gena not to postpone it. ”
"Rena obeys!" The princess of the Western Regions saluted again: "In order to show the sincerity of my marriage in the Western Regions, Rena specially prepared a dance music for the banquet!"
"Great, wonderful!" Emperor Daqian suddenly became happy: "I have long heard that Rena's dancing skills and martial arts are unique in the Western Regions, and I and all the ministers will wait and see." ”
"Wait and see!" said the courtiers in unison.
Half an hour later, the morning dynasty ended, because it was close to four o'clock (10:00), the courtiers did not leave, but went directly to the Luan Ying Hall behind.
Lin Morong and Wang Xuanyuan were side by side, walking at the front of the line, chatting happily, while the remaining courtiers followed behind unhurriedly.
"Lin Shangqing, have you seen the singing and dancing of the Western Regions?" After walking for a while, Xuanyuan suddenly opened his mouth and provoked the topic: "Compared with my Daqian, the singing and dancing in the Western Regions have a different charm, and they even provoke anger." ”
"No!" Lin Mo shook his head with a wry smile: "Xuan Shangqing may not know something, Mrs. in the lower mansion is strict with me, never let me enter the song and dance workshop, and never let me raise a dancing girl, so I haven't seen it!"
"Hahaha, I didn't expect the famous Lin Shangqing to be afraid of guilt!" Xuan Yuan smiled loudly: "However, Lin Shangqing doesn't have to worry about it, he has raised a few Western Regions Dancing Girls in the lower mansion, and Lin Shangqing can come to the mansion at any time to have a look!"
Hearing that Lin Mo was afraid of guilt, the Houdang courtiers who followed behind him also let out a chuckle, as if they were all laughing at Lin Mo's seven-foot man, who was afraid of guilt.
"Xuan Shangqing's words are wrong!" King Rong interjected: "Lin Shangqing is a wife who respects and loves herself, and she is also clean and self-conscious, so why should she be afraid of the inside." ”
"That's it, Lin Shangqing is a model among men!" When the courtiers in the Rong Party heard King Rong's words, they stood up for Lin Mo and praised Lin Mo as a role model for men in the world.
"Alas, it's a pity!" King Rong sighed suddenly.
"What's the matter, His Royal Highness King Rong?" Lin Mo asked cooperatively.
"Originally, the thief Li Tai died, and there were two concubines in his house named Luzhu and Yunzhu, who were very good at singing and dancing. King Rong looked heavy and sighed: "Originally, this king gave the two of her to Lin Shangqing to you to be a dancing girl, but it's a pity, it's a shame, a red face!"
"Ouch, fortunately I didn't send it!" Lin Mo shouted, and said happily: "If His Royal Highness King Rong sends the two of them here, the rude third lady will have to make a big fuss." ”
Hearing King Rong mention Li Tai, Xuanyuan's heart was like being pricked by a needle, and he was angry for a while, and he immediately scolded King Rong in the bottom of his heart, but he didn't blame Lin Mo in the slightest.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xuanyuan said in a weird way: "His Royal Highness King Rong is really bold, he dares to fight the idea of someone who should be exiled, and he is not afraid that His Majesty will blame him, or implicate Lin Shangqing?"
"Xuan Shangqing's words are wrong!" King Rong had a faint smile on his face, and arched his hand and said: "How can Your Majesty blame, Lin Shangqing is deeply valued by Your Majesty, and if you want two criminal slaves to be dancing girls, Your Majesty will definitely agree!"
"Okay, okay, His Royal Highness King Rong, Xuan Shangqing, there is Luan Ying Hall ahead!" Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Lin Mo hurriedly gaged and looked at the Luan Ying Hall not far ahead.
Hearing that Lin Mo was making adjustments, King Rong and Xuanyuan couldn't help but give Lin Mo face, looked at each other and smiled, and the three of them walked towards Luan Ying Hall very happily again.
Somewhere, in a mountain villa called "Golden House".
Green Bamboo and Yunzhu are dressed in gorgeous winter satin skirts, standing on the edge of the stream at the gate of the villa, Green Bamboo is dancing with a long sword, the movements are a little stiff, and Yunzhu is sitting by the stream fishing.
There were four handmaidens waiting behind him.
After practicing a sword dance, Lu Zhu took the Jinpa handed by the maidservant, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said: "Yunzhu, why are you still fishing, my lord has explained, let us practice this sword dance." ”
Yun Zhu shook his head and said a little willfully: "I don't want it, that long sword is dead, that sword dance is too difficult to practice, I still have pain all over my body now, I'm still good at fishing." ”
Lu Zhu took out a long sword from a maidservant, put it in Yun Zhu's hand, and said seriously: "Yun Zhu, don't be willful, the adult said, if we practice this sword dance well, we can become cultivators in the sword apprentice realm, it is good for our body, and it also has the effect of nourishing our face!"
"Okay, then for the sake of nourishing the face and softening the muscles and bones, I'll practice!" Yun Zhu thought for a while, and picked up the sword a little unwillingly.
Looking at Yunzhu's reluctant look, Luzhu said with some sadness: "Yunzhu, we should have been exiled to the frontier, but the adults took us in and treated us with respect, we should be grateful!"
"Besides, adults are completely different from other men, our sisters have gone through wind and dust, gone through wind and rain, and now there is a peaceful place from the sky, we should cherish it!"
"What's the difference!" Yun Zhu said with a little blush: "The last time I came, he tossed me to death, and I think he is more lustful than his other men." ”
"That's good, next time the adult comes back, I'll tell him that you haven't practiced the sword dance well!" Lu Zhu suddenly said very coquettishly: "Let the adult not touch you, let him only toss me alone, okay?"
"I don't want it!" Yun Zhu's face turned red again, and he hurriedly said: "Okay, I'm going to practice sword dancing for a good time, and I will surprise him next time the adult comes!"
As he spoke, Yun Zhu picked up the long sword and danced, the movements were very stiff, seeing this, Lu Zhu covered his mouth and smiled, and also picked up the long sword, and together with Yun Zhu, he practiced seriously.
The movements of the two of them are not very smooth, but it can be vaguely seen that although the two of them practice a sword dance, it is more like a martial art, a martial art with an ornamental nature.
In the Luanying Palace, it was slightly around noon.
King Rong has the most respectful status, the first position under the royal ranks, accompanied by Xu Qiuniang.
King Rong and Xu Qiuniang's mouths kept talking, but due to a distance, the voices of the two were very clear, Lin Mo didn't hear it very clearly, but he vaguely heard it as if he was talking about the marriage of the princess of the Western Regions.
Glancing at Xuanyuan, who was next to him, and his plump wife, Yu Ping, Lin Mo asked Liu Ruoshui in his arms curiously: "Ruoshui, although Xuanyuan is also fat, but after all, he is Shangqing, why is his wife like that... That sturdy?"
In front of the courtiers being held in Lin Mo's arms, feeling the gaze of the courtiers, Liu Ruoshui blushed like a sunset and said: "Ruoshui heard that it is because of Yu Ping's father, Yu Xiu. ”
Lin Mo is very familiar with this name, Yu Xiu is the former Mingzhou Zhangjun State Pastor, can be regarded as half of Xuanyuan's teacher, and now the Ming Zhou Zhangjun State Pastor is Yu Xiu's son, Yu Jian.
"It turns out to be another political marriage!" Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly laughed in a low voice: "But a fat couple is quite compatible!"
"My lord, you're wrong!" Liu Ruoshui retorted with a blushing face: "This Yu Ping was also a beauty before, but later she suffered from bulimia, so she changed!"
"Anorexia! It turns out that there is such a thing!" Lin Mo smiled lightly and said.
After speaking, Lin Mo picked up the grapes on the table and was about to feed one to Liu Ruoshui, but when he looked down at Liu Ruoshui in his arms, he found that she was blushing so much that she was about to squeeze out the water!
"Strange, why is this chick so shy today?" Lin Mo was strange in his heart, and when he looked up, he found out the reason, the reason was that there were many courtiers who were looking at Liu Ruoshui with the light of a tiger and wolf, and they were still commenting.
"Good guy, dare to judge the woman in my Lin Mo's arms!" With a sneer in his heart, Lin Mo put Liu Ruoshu down, and he stood up and looked around.
Seeing that Lin Mo no longer had a beautiful woman, but suddenly stood up, still looking for something, the courtiers turned their eyes to Lin Mo to see what he wanted to do.
Under the gaze of the courtiers, Lin Mo walked to the outside of the Luanying Palace, and from a forbidden soldier on duty outside the palace gate, he took out the sharp long sword on the waist of the forbidden soldier and walked back.
Carrying the long sword and walking up a few steps of the royal steps, Lin Mo turned to look at the courtiers and said with a cold smile: "The adults must not know my Lin Ziyong's temper, right?"
Saying that, Lin Mo walked down the royal steps, stood in the hall, pointed his sword at those courtiers and said coldly: "You are a person who actually criticizes my women, and also casts the light of the tiger and wolf, today, I, Lin Mo, want to let all the adults remember a truth." ”
Facing Lin Mo, who had a cold tone, the courtiers didn't dare to say a word, while King Rong and Xuanyuan quietly watched Lin Mo's next actions on the side.
Lin Mo, who was carrying a long sword, walked in front of Zhuo Ping, the Qing of Dali Temple, and with a wave of his hands, he actually split the low table in front of Zhuo Ping in half, and the things on it were scattered all over the ground.
Zhuo Ping trembled, his body trembled and said: "Lin Shangqing, you are roaring at Luan Yingdian, still holding a sword, His Royal Highness King Rong is still here, could it be that you are going to rebel?"
"Rebellion, I don't dare!" Lin Mo smiled coldly, pointed his sword at Zhuo Ping, and said with a smile: "Zhuo Ping, you were the most energetic just now, right? Let me tell you, Zhuo Ping, and all the adults!"
As he spoke, Lin Mo turned around and said coldly: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you still dare to stare at my woman and dare to judge, then this handle will be inserted into your heart." ”
After speaking, Lin Mo's hand holding the sword moved, and the long sword flew out and inserted it into the wooden wall behind Zhuo Ping, making a sound of sword roaring.
The audience was suddenly shocked, Zhuo Ping swallowed his saliva, and shouted tremblingly: "Lin Ziyong, you are bold, you dare to hold a sword in front of His Royal Highness King Rong, and be so presumptuous in the Luanying Palace." ”
Listening to Zhuo Ping, Lin Mo smiled faintly, looked at King Rong who was drinking tea without distraction, and said, "His Royal Highness King Rong, do you hear?
"Lin Shangqing is afraid that he heard it wrong!" King Rong picked up a cup of tea and smiled at Xuan Yuan: "Xuan Shangqing, have you seen Lin Shangqing roaring with a sword in Luan Ying Palace?"
"Xuanyuan has never seen it!" Xuanyuan picked up the tea, drank a cup with King Rong, and said with a smile: "I only saw Lin Shangqing condescending and demonstrating a wonderful sword dance for everyone. ”
"Hahaha-" King Rong laughed loudly, suddenly slapped the table heavily, and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, have you seen Lin Shangqing roaring with a sword in Luan Ying Palace." ”
"No!" King Rong was furious, and the courtiers of the two parties were suddenly shocked, and the voice of the reply was like a rehearsal, unusually neat and orderly, and very loud.
When the voices of the courtiers fell, King Rong looked at Zhuo Ping with cold eyes, and said sonorously: "You actually framed Lin Shangqing, and you should have been punished with a cane, but this king remembered your hard work, and slapped his mouth three times, remember, you have to work hard!"
"Xiaguan... Obey!" King Rong spoke, Zhuo Ping had no choice but to break his teeth and swallow in his stomach, and when he raised his hand, he smacked three mouths fiercely, and his voice was loud.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Rong, for distinguishing right from wrong and giving you justice!" Lin Mo smiled with satisfaction, sat back in his place, and hugged Liu Ruoshui into his arms again, as if nothing had happened to him, and enjoyed the fruit and Liu Ruoshui's nephrite.
But this time, no one dared to judge Liu Ruoshui anymore, nor did they dare to cast the light of the tiger and wolf on her, all like a good baby, eating tea and fruits.
The turmoil subsided, and King Rong ordered Gong'e to change Zhuo Ping to a new low table, replaced with fresh fruits, and hot fragrant tea, but it is estimated that Zhuo Ping, who has a terrible pain in his mouth, will not be able to enjoy it.
And the long sword that was inserted into the wooden wall, the forbidden soldier who was "borrowed" the long sword was also very interested, and quietly ran in and took the sword back.
After a while, with the transfer of His Royal Highness King Rong and Xuanyuan, the atmosphere became active again, if it weren't for Zhuo Ping's mouth being slightly red and swollen, it would have been as if nothing had happened just now.
In the midst of the staggering, Liu Ruoshui, who was held in Lin Mo's arms, asked Lin Mo in a low voice, "My lord, why did you do that just now?"
Lin Mowan smiled, picked up Liu Ruoshui's chin, and said with an evil smile: "Beauty, of course it's for you, they are disrespectful to you in their eyes and words, so I naturally want to teach them a lesson!"
"My lord, don't be funny, Ruoshui knows that you have a purpose!" Liu Ruoshui said coquettishly, her demeanor was very coquettish and cute.
At this moment, Liu Ruoshui knew in his heart that Lin Mo was not for himself, but he was still moved, because Liu Ruoshui firmly believed that Lin Mo was three points for himself and for himself.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you!" Lin Mo smiled happily and whispered in Liu Ruoshui's ear: "One, I came to the imperial capital this time, and I behaved too gently, now it is necessary to deter this group of courtiers, two!"
Without waiting for Lin Mo to say it, Liu Ruoshui interrupted him and said, "Second, it is naturally for King Rong and Xu Qiuniang to see!
"That's so smart!" Lin Mo smiled knowingly, kissed Liu Ruoshui lightly on the forehead, and whispered: "Ruoshui, as long as you cooperate with Tang Yunuan and complete that thing for me, our relationship will be true." ”
"Yes, Ruoshui understands!" Liu Ruoshui nodded her head a little shyly, and suddenly, a little worry arose: "But, my lord, if you let the lady know, will it?"
"Don't worry, no, I have my own certainty!" Lin Mo comforted, and immediately blocked Liu Ruoshui's cherry mouth with a grape.
King Rong, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Lin Mo, and saw that Lin Mo and Liu Ruoshui were so close, and said to Xu Qiuniang: "Qiu Niang, she is worthy of being the person you personally selected and trained, Lin Ziyong actually loves her so much!"
"Lord Wang, you have won the award!" Xu Qiuniang smiled coquettishly: "It's all Liu Ruoshui's good looks, and it's also her own struggle, as well as the credit of that Mei Xiang!"
"It's really good, with Liu Ruoshui's eyes in the Lin Mansion, this king will feel much more at ease!" King Rong smiled happily and drank with Xu Qiuniang.
Noon came in a blink of an eye, only to hear the eunuch shouting at Yagongsang: "His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother have arrived!"
All the courtiers immediately got up, including Liu Ruoshui, Xu Qiuniang, and Yu Ping.
When the emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe and the Empress Dowager Xuanshu in an embroidered phoenix robe sat down, Gao Yue straightened up and shouted at the top of his voice: "All the ministers are going to the mountains to call for a big salute. ”
"See my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"
"See the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, Chitose Chitose, Chitose Chitose!"
Emperor Daqian and Empress Dowager Xuanshu raised their hands together, Emperor Daqian nodded with satisfaction, and just as he was about to speak, he was preemptively said by Empress Dowager Xuanshu: "All the Qing families are the pillars of my Daqian, hurry up and be exempt!"
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Xie!" the courtiers sat back in their seats.
The words of forgiveness should have been said by Emperor Daqian, the most respected person in the Great Qian Empire, but thinking of the current situation, the angry Emperor Daqian had no choice but to endure it.
Holding back the anger in his heart, Emperor Daqian gave Gao Yue a look, Gao Yue has followed Emperor Daqian for many years, and was cited by Emperor Daqian as a confidant, so he understood it in his heart, so he shouted at the top of his throat:
"Princess Rena of the Xuanxi Domain, enter the palace to dance!"
