Chapter 81: Uninvited Guest
"Exactly!" Zhao Xianying smiled, like a spring flower blooming, and the room was full of spring in an instant.
"I didn't expect Brother Xiao to be the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and I was really clumsy in my eyes." Yelu Zongzheng was dazzled by the smile on Zhao Xian's face.
"Last time, thank you!" Zhao Xian restrained her smile and bowed to Yelu Zongzheng seriously. "Thank you, Brother Yelu, for saving your life."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Yelu Zongzheng hurriedly helped Zhao Xian with his hands, but as soon as his hands touched Zhao Xian's Rouyi, he remembered the other party's identity as a woman, and immediately shrank back.
Zhao Xian and Yelu Zongzheng have not been together for a long time, but they feel that this person has the style of a Han gentleman and the heroic spirit of a northerner, so he admires it in his heart.
"Brother Yelu, please!" Zhao Xian pointed to the desk in the cabinet and took the lead in sitting down.
Yelu Zongzheng saw that Zhao Xian was downright and generous, and he was not as shy and twisted as an ordinary woman, so he did not shirk it and sat opposite Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian said, "There is nothing important to invite Brother Yelu here today, so I just set up this invitation to Brother Yelu to gather here." With that, the palms clapped each other, and the door of the pavilion opened, and a woman holding the guqin came in.
After the woman bowed in, she gently placed the guqin on the seat, sat cross-legged, and asked softly, "What kind of music do you order?" ”
Zhao Xian looked at Yelu Zongzheng and asked with a smile: "Does Brother Yelu have a favorite song?" ”
Yelu Zongzheng shook his head slightly and said, "The guest is as he pleases." ”
Zhao Xian lowered her head and muttered for a moment, and said to the piano girl: "Then play a song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys". ”
While the girl was at school, another person brought in a set of fine tea sets and put them on the table, and another person brought in a small stove and a pot of water, and sat aside to boil water silently.
Zhao Xian said: "The meal has not arrived, so I have to ask Brother Yelu to use tea first." Then after cleaning his hands in a basin, he scalded the cup and warmed the pot, Ma Long entered the palace and washed the tea, but he saw that Zhao Xian was skillful in making tea and had a beautiful posture.
Yelu Zongzheng quietly looked at the opposite side with his fingers flying, just looking at the woman's movements, he felt relaxed and happy, until a cup of tea was handed over, Fang Huishen smiled and asked: "Just looking at the princess's tea-making technique, it seems that she has studied this Tao quite a lot?" ”
Zhao Xian said with a smile: "Brother Yelu has won the award, where do I know what tea ceremony, I just saw people brewing it, and now I just fiddle with the gourd painting scoop, which makes Brother Yelu laugh." ”
Yelu Zongzheng took the tea handed by Zhao Xian and smelled it, but he felt that it was fragrant, but the tea taste was not too strong, and he took a sip gently, and the throat was quiet and elegant, and it was extremely comfortable.
On the side, the piano girl has already played the "Plum Blossom Three Alleys", and the plum blossom noble and moving charm jumps on the piano. Yelu Zongzheng looked at Zhao Xian again, the bright face behind the tea mist loomed, like a plum blossom that was out of reach, Yelu Zongzheng heard the sound of the song, and then looked at the flowing movements, and was stupid for a while.
After three rounds of tea, Zhao Xian stopped making tea, tried her hand with a clean hand towel, took out a booklet that was carefully wrapped in cloth from the burden behind her back, and pushed it in front of Yelu Zongzheng.
"I know that Brother Yelu loves Han culture very much, and also loves to read Han books, and I can't repay the kindness of helping last time, so I now send the chapter of "Historical Records" copied by the little woman to Brother Yelu." Zhao Xian said.
"It is reported that the "Historical Records" written by Taishi Gong is missing ten articles, and my father occasionally got one of the "Book of Laws", I thought about it, and felt that this "Book of Laws" mentioned the relationship between the law and the soldiers, the ephemeris, and the knowledge of the law itself, which is quite suitable for Brother Yelu, is to give this article, I hope Brother Yelu will not dislike my ugly words."
Yelu Zongzheng heard that it was the "Book of Law" in the "Historical Records", and he already loved it in his heart, and when he heard that it was copied by Zhao Xian himself, he was even more overjoyed, and he carefully took this thin booklet and put it in his arms with love.
"Such a treasure, I accepted it with shame." Aren't the gifts of talented women all poems and songs? And this princess gift is such a special thing, Yelu Zongzheng doesn't know how many sides of this woman make him so surprised that he has to look at it differently.
"Brother Yelu has been coming to my Great Song Dynasty for some time, presumably following his brother Changsha County King has already tasted Bianliang food, I don't know how many places I have enjoyed in Bianliang?" Zhao Xian raised her head and asked.
"Bianliang is said to have eight scenes that are the most famous, but I only heard of their names in the next place, and I didn't go there, but it made the princess smile."
"The eight views of Bianliang have suitable places to enjoy in each season, but now this spring is the most suitable for 'Sui Di Smoke Willow'. I will go back to the east, and in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, how about inviting Brother Yelu and the king of Changsha County to climb the embankment to enjoy the willows and the Bianhe River cruise? Zhao Xian said sincerely.
"In this case, I have to thank the princess, we will be there then." Yelu Zongzheng said with a smile.
Before he finished speaking, there was a gentle knock on the door, and before Zhao Xian could speak, the door had been pushed open by someone outside, and then a man paced in from the screen.
The man, dressed in white and black-crowned, walked in with a smile on his face.
When Zhao Xian saw this uninvited person, her brows immediately furrowed, and she didn't speak, just watching how this person behaved.
The man saw that Yelu Zongzheng also turned to look at him, hugged his fist and said: "Brother Yelu is polite, I saw you enter this pavilion before, but unfortunately I happened to be invited by my friends in the next pavilion, and I came here to say hello to Brother Yelu." ”
This person looked at Zhao Xian again, pretended to be surprised, and said, "It turns out that Brother Yelu invited Princess Huayi, and he really envied the younger brother." ”
Yelu Zongzheng said lightly: "I didn't expect Prince Yuanhao to be so interested in Zaixia, but it is flattering. This makes it clear that there is no such thing as a coincidence.
The person who came was Li Yuanhao, the prince of Xia, who heard Yelu Zongzheng's words, his face did not change color, and he said without mind: "Another day, I hope that Brother Yelu and the princess can appreciate their faces." After that, he only looked straight at Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian already has an unknown bad feeling towards Li Yuanhao, in December last year, Li Yuanhao teased Yelia when he set up a banquet in Chunfeng Building, Zhao Xian knew that this person was a good woman, and now seeing him so rude, his heart was a little angry, and he was about to sink his face and order the expulsion.
Yelu Zongzheng stood up, intentionally or unintentionally blocked Li Yuanhao's sight, and said quietly: "The person invited by Prince Yuanhao must have been in a hurry, so we won't keep the prince here." Prince, please! ”
After saying that, Yelu Zongzheng made a gesture of please, no matter how thick-skinned Li Yuanhao was, now he had to smile stupidly and leave.
It's just that when he turned out of the screen and opened the door, his face immediately sank, his eyes were cold, thinking that the princess of Huayi of the Great Song Dynasty was the first to be promoted by Yelu Zongzheng, if Song Liao became more friendly because of this, it would be very unfavorable to Xia Guo, thinking of this, his eyes were slightly closed, and he suddenly had a plan in his heart.
