Chapter 207: Acting on the stage
"Yes, it's the first time I've seen the pure black best Hai Dongqing!" King Jin also raised his glass and toasted Wang Nanyao.
Wang Nan smiled slightly, with an extremely modest expression on his face, and said, "Where, His Royal Highness King Yu and His Royal Highness King Jin, the two of them have won the award!" β
"Hey, don't be too modest!" King Jin waved his hand and said, "It's better to tell me in detail about the process of catching this Hai Dongqing!" β
Wang Nan's face seemed to be infinitely glorious, and said: "Returning to Your Highness, this Hai Dongqing was not caught by me, but I knew that I was going back to Kyoto, and I flew hundreds of miles with our team. β
The emperor was shocked by the strange scene he depicted, regardless of whether it was true or not, this was indeed a great good omen, so the emperor was even more cheerful, and actually took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and said: "Lord Wang, you have raised a good son, and you have brought me good signs!" β
The prince hurriedly said: "It is his duty to be loyal to His Majesty, and it is also the blessing of my Wang family!" The look on the face of the prince was extremely humble, and he couldn't see that he was a majestic general, and his attitude was more reverent than that of the eunuchs around the emperor, and the emperor was very satisfied, and specially ordered to give Wang Nan a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
Pang Luoxue looked at it, but suddenly laughed.
The eighth princess whispered: "Sister Xue'er, what are you laughing at?" β
Pang Luoxue lowered her voice and said, "I, naturally, laughed at this auspicious omen." β
The eighth princess didn't understand it at all, but she saw that Pang Luoxue didn't mean to answer for her at all. I couldn't help but wonder even more.
With this stubble, the atmosphere of the palace banquet became more enthusiastic, and everyone saw that the royal family was in full swing. They all flattered and welcomed the Wang family to the sky. Pang Luoxue carefully observed the expressions of the Wang family, but did not see a trace of pride, especially the prince and the prince, who didn't even move the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
And yet at this very moment. Concubine Yi suddenly exclaimed and said, "Your Majesty, look?!" β
The Emperor took a look. Immediately stood up from the throne, and Hai Dongqing, who was a pair of divine horses and had just been called the best divine birds, rolled his eyes and died in the cage.
The eunuch guarding the cage knelt on the ground. Shivering. The prince beside the emperor hurriedly went up to look at it, and replied: "Your Majesty...... Haidong Qing ...... Hai Dongqing is dead......"
Everyone was in an uproar, and the prince's face changed, and he said angrily: "Nan'er, how do you take care of this!" β
Wang Nan's eyes showed an imperceptible smile, but he said, "Father, I'm ...... I...... I don't know! Since entering Beijing, this pair of Hai Dongqing has been very good. How could it be all of a suddenβ" He immediately fell to his knees and pleaded guilty. "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty!"
The emperor's face was ugly, originally this Hai Dongqing was just a bird, the bird died when it died, at most it was a little disappointing, but just now everyone said that it was a good omen, and it died, isn't it very bad! Can auspicious omen die?! Definitely not! If the auspicious sign is dead, there must be some calamity!
Seeing that the emperor's face was cloudy, those who said that Hai Dongqing was a good omen just now all seemed to be dumbfounded, and they all looked at each other, and the entire hall was silent, even the ladies held their breath.
At this moment, an old Taoist priest with immortal wind and Taoist bones strode in from outside, and his voice was like Hong Zhongdao: "Your Majesty!" This matter is very unlucky! But there is a demon star in the temple! β
All the people looked at this old Taoist priest in great amazement, and someone immediately recognized him, Yin Tianshi! It turned out to be Yin Tianshi, who had been missing since the beginning of the banquet!
In the silence, Pang Luoxue and Zhao Zhengyang glanced at each other, and saw a smile in each other's eyes, and sure enough, they came!
Yin Tianzhao was wearing a crown of fragrant leaves and a gossip robe, and he was looking at the emperor with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, do you remember the last divination of the poor road?" At that time, Poor Dao spent countless efforts, but he couldn't occupy who this demon star of the dangerous hΓ i calendar fortune was, and now he has found a way, and he will definitely be able to make this person show his original form! β
The emperor's eyes immediately widened and he said, "Really?!" β
Concubine Yi glanced at everyone, her eyes fell on Pang Luoxue's body, although it was just a sweep, but with a sneer, Pang Luoxue, don't blame me, originally you and I have no grievances, I won't do much to harm you, but you are so ignorant, since you don't look down on my King Jin and don't want to help her, then the palace will not look at you to help the queen's son in vain, not to mention, if the Pang family does not have you, they will definitely support Pang Luoyu wholeheartedly, and then this Pang Luoyu will be better used, At least she has a deep affection for her son. Thinking of this, she smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Heavenly Master Yin has never missed it, since he said that there is a demon star in this hall, it must be true, otherwise, how could he kill the auspicious omen of His Majesty for no reason?!" β
She deliberately emphasized the word death, and somehow it was particularly harsh in everyone's ears, and a bad premonition also rose in Pang Luoxue's heart.
Yin Tianzhao said lightly: "I want to board the platform, and then I will let that demon star automatically appear!" β
Pang Luoxue looked at it coldly, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong, he didn't know what the reason was Hai Dongqing's death, but this old Taoist priest suddenly appeared - if something is abnormal, it must be a demon, it seems that you have to deal with it carefully!
Of course, the emperor agreed, not only that, but also personally led the civil and military officials out of the main hall, stood on the wide steps, and watched Yin Tianshi ascend the platform. The platform, which is four meters high, was specially built to pray for rain. Yin Tianshi wore his hair and danced around on the platform.
At this moment, even the ladies walked outside curiously, looked at Yin Tianzhao on the platform, and talked about it.
Pang Luoxue looked at it with a smile and didn't say a word, until Zhao Zhengyang walked up to her and whispered, "There will definitely be something very interesting happening later." β
Pang Luoxue tilted her head and said, "Is it all arranged?" β
Zhao Zhengyang smiled: "My hands are itchy for a while...... A little change was made, but Bao Jun was satisfied. His handsome face shone in front of him, and Pang Luoxue was strange, but seeing that his eyes were shining at him, he couldn't help coughing lightly and turned his head.
This kid, I don't know what to do, actually showed such a cunning expression.
Ji Weisheng in the crowd couldn't help but glance at Zhao Zhengyang and asked him to show him. I saw Zhao Zhengyang smile slightly, his left hand slowly hung down, and his middle finger was on top of his index finger. Ji Weisheng understood this code, which meant that the plan remained unchanged, telling him to act as usual without suspicion, Ji Weisheng couldn't help but smile in his heart, and then quietly took a few steps back and disappeared into the crowd.
After the bronze bell rang nine times in a row, the ceremony began, and a team of eunuchs held lamp hats to extinguish all the surrounding candles and oil lamps, and the light on the stage was dim, making the whole ceremony a bit mysterious. Yin Tianzhao on the platform said loudly: "Your Majesty sincerely respects the sky, and you don't dare to slack off a little, why doesn't the sky give the Great Calendar a smooth wind and rain, and give His Majesty's subjects and peace and tranquility?" At this time, the sky was overcast, with thunderstorms, like a sign that heavy rain was about to fall, and Yin Tianzhao's body trembled even more, sifting chaff like non-stop, coupled with flying sand and rocks, and sudden changes in the weather, this old Taoist priest of the fairy wind and bones seemed to be really connected with heaven and earth.
When everyone saw this strange scene, their eyes widened, and they didn't dare to breathe, staring directly at Yin Tianzhao.
King Jin sneered, Pang Luoxue, as the princess of the royal family of the Eastern Qin Kingdom and the Sea Kingdom, and the daughter of the Duke of Pang Guo, if she wants to knock her down at once, she must personally express this scene in front of everyone, and as long as she says that the scourge is Pang Luoxue, then her life will be over! Such a beauty, such a smart woman, how good it would be if she learned from herself, but she is so ignorant! King Jin felt extremely sorry in his heart, and there was a faint heartache, which was what he wanted most in his life besides the throne, but now he wanted to use it to flatter the Wang family...... It's a pity, it's a pity...... Thinking like this, he glanced at Pang Luoxue one last time.
Goodbye, stubborn and intelligent girl. Since you are unwilling to help me win the country, then make a stepping stone for my country!
On the other side, Wang Nan hooked his lips, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
At this time, there were several lightning bolts in the sky, and the wind outside suddenly became stronger, and it blew into the hall with a sharp whistling sound, which not only blew the people outside the hall to the ground, but also blew the windows creaked like crazy, and the veils in the hall also floated up, and the wind swept down a few at once, and threw a precious porcelain vase on the ground, shattering it on the spot...... On the stage, Yin Tianshi shouted rampantly in the midst of the changing color of the storm: "What a scourge, can it hinder my history? β
At that moment, a piece of yellow paper floated down from the sky and flew to the ground. The eunuch hurriedly went up to pick it up and said, "Your Majesty, look! β
Yin Tianzhao said loudly on the stage: "Although this person is beautiful and intelligent, he is born with the appearance of a gentleman. This person is alive, I'm afraid it will be bad for the emperor! β
At this moment, the lead cloud in the sky is thicker, the rotation speed is faster, the electric snake is entangled, and it seems that it will break away at any time, for a long time, the lead cloud energy seems to have gathered to the limit, a thunderbolt burst out, suddenly fell from the sky, cut through half of the sky, and was actually on the top of Yin Tianzhao's head, he was talking about the eyebrows flying and dancing, but suddenly screamed, his body was like a dead pig, rolled down from the four-meter-high platform, snapped, fell to the ground, splashed countless plasma at once, and the bones were broken, Caused a palace maid standing in the audience to scream, the sharp scream suddenly interrupted everyone's attention, and even the emperor didn't have time to take a closer look at the person on the paper, and was shocked on the spot by the fact that the immortal Taoist he respected was killed by lightning. (To be continued......)
