When Liu Che came to Xuanqu Palace, Wei Qing, Zhao Xin, Zhang Cigong and all the soldiers who participated in the archery competition had been waiting for a long time. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone saw Liu Che walking into the hall, and they all bowed respectfully.

Liu Che waved his hand boldly, ordered all the soldiers to be flat, and said loudly: "All the secretaries are the most heroic soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and I am very happy to see your outstanding performance on the school field today." At today's banquet, I would like to drink and have fun with all of you, and I will not return if I am not drunk. ”

Everyone agreed in unison, and only after Liu Che sat down in the first place, did they all sit down. At Liu Che's signal, the palace banquet officially began. The palace maids presented exquisite and delicious imperial meals to everyone with light steps, and the rich flavor of various stir-fried vegetables and pastries with different fillings was very appealing to the appetite of the soldiers. The people here are different from civil officials, although they have been quite restrained in front of Liu Che, and pay attention to restraining their words and deeds, so as not to violate the palace rules and anger Long Yan, but at this time, in the face of the imperial meal rewarded by His Majesty, they all enjoyed the food happily, although the appearance was not Sven, but it was not rude.

Liu Che saw the appearance of the soldiers feasting, not only did he not feel displeased, but smiled with satisfaction. Liu Che's requirements for civil officials and military generals are very different, and for military generals, Liu Che has never restrained them with the etiquette that binds civilian officials. Liu Che felt that as a military general, he must maintain his heroism and blood, if the generals become as civil officials as polite and polite, the cumbersome rules will slowly exhaust the courage and courage of the generals, how can such soldiers gallop on the battlefield and fight bloodily with the enemy to win the war?

Liu Che picked up the silver chopsticks and picked up a round and delicate dumpling, but the entrance was a familiar taste. Liu Che suddenly remembered the first time he ate this special shape of pasta, when he had just returned to the Jiaofang Palace, he originally had a stomach and wanted to talk to Gillian, but he saw Gillian and Mrs. Li eating this strange-looking food together, he looked at Gillian's small mouth stained with soup, and felt that such Gillian was very cute, and he wanted to lean forward and take Gillian into his arms and kiss the tender lips fiercely.

However, Liu Che didn't do that, because he knew that Gillian was very thin-skinned and refused to make love to him as long as there were palace people present. But Liu Che looked at Gillian who was constantly seducing him inadvertently, and he was very unwilling to suffer alone. Therefore, Liu Che deliberately opened his mouth to bite the remaining half of the dumplings in the spoon held by Gillian's right hand, and praised it after tasting it carefully, so Gillian's pretty face turned red all of a sudden, like snow dyeing the sun, and like a pearl fainting, Gillian was very beautiful at that time.

Liu Che was surprised to find that although it had been a long time, he could still clearly remember every expression of Gillian at that time, especially the pair of clear eyes looking at him, with three points of shame and seven points of anger in his soft eyes, he felt very happy at that time, and the happiness that surged from the depths of his heart made him feel comfortable and content. It's a pity that he didn't find out about this at that time, and he continued to quarrel with Gillian again, wasting so much precious time in vain. Liu Che thought that now he wanted to see the pair of clear eyes that he loved the most, but it had become a luxury, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Chun Tuo saw that His Majesty had just taken a bite of the dumplings and was silent, showing a look of nostalgia on his face, and he knew that His Majesty was missing the queen mother again, and his heart was worried and anxious, for fear that His Majesty would be depressed and depressed because he missed the queen mother, and it would be difficult to show his face, and in the long run, it would definitely endanger the health of the dragon's body.

Chun Tuo rolled his eyes and whispered: "Your Majesty, the court musician Li Yannian composed a song for His Majesty's favorite Shanglin Fu, and wants to present a song to His Majesty." ”

Liu Che thought of the beautiful and elegant Li Yannian, thought of the magnificent and gorgeous Shanglin Fu, smiled, and said gently: "Quasi-play." I am also very curious about what kind of music can fully interpret the grandeur of Shanglin Fu! ”

Chuntuo hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and then chanted the decree, and ordered the court musician Li Yannian to perform a song on Lin Fu. This piece is played by Li Yannian himself on the guqin, and more than ten other musicians are accompanied by pipa, zheng, flute, horn, zhu, gonghou, etc., which is majestic and passionate, showing the beauty of the royal garden and the grandeur of the hunting scene of the Son of Heaven, which makes the listener's blood boil and excited.

At the end of the song, everyone was still immersed in the magnificent and passionate music, and they were all a little unfinished.

Liu Che nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Li Aiqing is really extraordinary, it is rare for Lin Fu to be so secretly in line with my mind in this song." I don't know if Li Aiqing can have other wonderful scores, and then choose one to play for all the soldiers. ”

Li Yannian really didn't want to introduce his sister to His Majesty at this time, but thinking of Princess Pingyang's secret letter, he couldn't go against the princess's arrangement, so he could only reluctantly smile and say: "Your Majesty Shengming, there is indeed an extremely outstanding song, and Weichen is willing to sing it for Your Majesty." ”

After Liu Che nodded his head and agreed, a soft tune that was quite different from the style just now slowly sounded, and Li Yannian's clear and pleasant voice sang: "There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent, one cares about the city, and then the country, I would rather not know the city and the country, and the beauty is hard to get." ”

Liu Che listened to the melodious tune, thinking about the beautiful woman sung in the song, his sharp eyes gradually showed a soft color, and his deep eyes concealed sentimentality and longing, but his thoughts had gradually drifted away.

At the end of the song, Liu Che was still immersed in his thoughts, and after a long time, he sighed in a low voice: "Aiqing sings this song so well." The heavens are really powerful, and they have created such a graceful beauty, but it is a pity that the country is overwhelmed, and the beauty is difficult to ......get again."

Li Yannian misunderstood the meaning of Liu Che's words, mistakenly thinking that Liu Che was quite interested in the beauty in the song, but he was suffering from nowhere to find the beauty, so he sighed in distress.

Li Yannian said respectfully to Liu Che: "Your Majesty, this piece of music is called "Beauty Song", which was made by Weichen for his little sister. ”

Liu Che was slightly stunned, then narrowed his eyes, "Your sister?" ”

Li Yannian couldn't guess Liu Che's thoughts, so he could only respectfully reply: "Weichen has a little sister who likes music and rhythm since she was a child, is good at singing and dancing, and is now serving in Princess Pingyang's mansion. ”

The corners of Liu Che's lips raised slightly, and he chuckled: "Since this is the case, invite your sister out and let me meet this beautiful woman in the beauty song!" ”

Li Yannian was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked his sister to enter the palace to dance. Under the attention of everyone, a beautiful woman in a light blue dance dress walked into the arena, dancing gracefully and softly, although her beautiful and beautiful face was slightly immature, but she could vaguely see the stunning beauty of the city after growing up.

Originally, Li Ziyan was also a beautiful woman with outstanding appearance, but it is a pity that today Liu Che and the soldiers have just seen the amazing archery skills of the beautiful Princess Huining, and the softness and firmness, and the pure-hearted character. It's not as stunning as it was when it first appeared.

Liu Che looked at the shy and timid girl in front of him, smiled softly, and praised: "Your dance is really good, I and all the soldiers like it very much." I want to reward you two brothers and sisters, but I don't know what you want? Why don't I give you a good marriage? ”

Li Ziyan smiled shyly, and replied softly, "Thank you, slave, for your grace." ”

Liu Che's eyes flashed slightly, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he said slowly word by word: "I will give you to the general of the chariot cavalry Wei Qing as a concubine, I hope you will always show your strengths and serve the general of the chariot cavalry well." ”

Li Ziyan's coquettish smile froze on her face, forming an extremely strange expression, and then she burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty must not ......"

Liu Che immediately sank his face and reprimanded: "The bold slave maid, who is just a singer of Princess Pingyang's family, dares to resist the decree in person, what crime should he be guilty of?" ”

Li Yannian hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" Your Majesty forgives your sins! Just because Weichen didn't take good care of his sister, she was unwell and talked nonsense, I hope Your Majesty sees that she is still young and doesn't understand the rules of the palace, spare her life, and Weichen is willing to be punished on her behalf! ”

Liu Che frowned unhappily and said in a deep voice: "Although you and your sister have both served in Princess Pingyang's Mansion, their conduct and personality are very different. I don't like rude and reckless women the most, and I should have severely punished your sister for the crime of inappropriateness in front of the emperor, but I thought of you presenting the Shanglin Fu and the beautiful woman song, and the brother and sister are deeply affectionate, so I will be exempted from the punishment of your sister. If I make a mistake again in the future, I will punish him severely. ”

Li Ziyan bit her lip, her heart was cold, as if she had fallen into an endless abyss. She originally thought that she would try her best to stay by His Majesty's side no matter what, but as soon as she saw His Majesty looking at her from above, she knew that His Majesty had no interest in her at all, and even when she saw that she had boldly disobeyed his will and wanted to say what she thought, her eyes not only did not show appreciation, but there was a deep disgust in her eyes.

What's going on here? Doesn't Your Majesty love Empress Chen? I heard that every time Empress Chen boldly contradicted His Majesty, His Majesty not only did not get angry, but was tender and caring for Empress Chen. Li Ziyan thought that Princess Pingyang had praised her for her clear eyes, much like Empress Chen when she was young, and she deliberately imitated Empress Chen's frank personality, but why did His Majesty dislike Empress Chen so much? Not only did he not have half a penny, but he also gave himself to General Wei Qing as a concubine? ”

Li Ziyan thought about Wei Qing's identity, thought of Princess Pingyang's extraordinarily bright eyes when she mentioned Wei Qing, and then thought of His Majesty's words and deeds just now, and gradually understood His Majesty's intentions. His Majesty must have deliberately given himself to General Wei Qing as a concubine because he didn't like the princess's move, embarrassing Princess Pingyang.

Li Ziyan couldn't help but smile bitterly, if His Majesty had a trace of pity for herself, she could still try her best, or she could break out of a bloody path, but now when she saw His Majesty's cold eyes when she looked at her, she knew that it was impossible for her to gain His Majesty's pity and favor.

Li Ziyan's biggest advantage is that she is very aware of current affairs, and when she saw that the overall situation had been decided, she respectfully saluted and thanked her, and secretly glad that she had not just said the absurd words that her favorite majesty wanted to serve the left and right, otherwise, even General Wei Qing, who was born as a slave, would not allow his women to have other men in his heart, if he was disgusted by his husband, how could he have a good life?

Wei Qing respectfully kowtowed to thank him, but his face was indifferent, neither embarrassed nor joyful.

Liu Che looked at Wei Qing like this and asked gently, "Does Wei Qing not like this woman?" Why don't you see half the joy? ”

Wei Qing bowed and replied: "Weichen likes to train soldiers to fight and gallop on the battlefield, and he has never cared much about these children's affections. But the woman given by His Majesty should be treated kindly by the ministers, and this girl will not be wronged. ”

Liu Che waved his hand and smiled: "It's not a wife, it's just a concubine, what grievances are not wronged." Just treat her like any other woman in your house. ”

Wei Qing bowed in agreement, but Li Ziyan lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly.

Later, there were other singing and dancing performances, and Liu Che gave two singers to Zhao Xin and Zhang Cigong respectively. When the palace banquet ended, Liu Che was already slightly drunk on the surface, but in fact he was extremely sober.

As soon as Liu Che returned to the dormitory, he asked the palace people in the Imperial Palace if there was any news. The chamberlain respectfully presented a secret recital to Liu Che, Liu Che couldn't wait to unfold it, and couldn't help but be stunned, only to see a gorgeous red plum painted on the white silk silk.

Liu Che's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled lightly: "Sure enough, she is a smart woman who knows how to use some means to protect herself." It's just that if you want to use this method to deceive me, you have made a mistake. ”
