Chapter Seventy-One: Shock
The warm spring sun silently moved the light and shadow in the hall, and the gentle breeze gently blew the gold silk curtain next to the window. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Shimin, who was sitting in a high position, looked unfathomable, and the two richly dressed concubines saw that the emperor did not squeak, and it was inconvenient for them to speak out because of the rules of the harem that they were not allowed to interfere in politics.
The crown prince Li Zhi, who was at the bottom, had a strange smile on his face, as if he hadn't seen or heard Hu Tange's words, and was playing with a fine porcelain cup in his hand, as if he had found something worth studying, on the contrary, Li Ke, who was sitting below him, had a thin anger on his handsome face, but the officials who were familiar with Li Ke knew that if Li Ke could show such anger, that matter must have made him extremely dissatisfied.
The atmosphere in the hall was so weird, and the ministers sitting below didn't dare to breathe, and no one wanted to touch this moldy head.
Some discerning officials don't know that this businessman is not comparable to ordinary singers. Not to mention that under the lofty banner of Luoyang, how many ministers under the skirt are holding their waists behind them, just talking about the life-saving grace of the prince at the beginning, although the prince has never admitted it explicitly, but all those who have some means have seen a little clue from the valuable things pulled by the prince's mansion to Yunshuifang. There is also Li Ke, the king of Wu, who left his own Peony Pavilion and ran to Yunshuifang, and it was not a matter of two encounters.
If these are not enough, then the emperor's praise makes people have to take this singer in their eyes. The emperor watched the singing and dancing of the merchants, counting the total of three times this time, but which time did not make the businessmen laugh happily, not to mention the last audition, the merchant businessman's sentence "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband", now it has already been spread all over the world, and today's businessman, the emperor will never easily give her to a foreign leader.
Li Shimin looked at the face of the stairs with a high face and a rebellious face, and couldn't help but scold him for not being able to measure himself! Just a Tiele leader, do you want to show off your power in my Tang Dynasty?
"I can't imagine that the leader of Hu Luge is still a person who cherishes flowers!" In just an instant, Li Shimin softened his face and chuckled.
"The emperor praises!" Hu Duge raised his chin a little arrogantly, he didn't think that he needed to bow his noble head in front of this mongrel emperor.
"However, the leader of Hu Luge doesn't know, this woman is the daughter of a criminal minister, and now she is serving in the palace to atone for her sins, and her status is so low that it is not enough to match the leader, so I will order the concubine to personally select a few beautiful women for the leader of Hu Luge and give them to you!"
Li Shimin understated that the identity of a businessman was extremely low, and Hu Luge looked at Li Shimin's face and was a little surprised.
He didn't believe a word about Li Shimin's words. If it is said to be lowly, why can't it be given? Didn't he want her to be the chief's wife? It's just a plaything, what does it matter if it's lowly or not? The real reason is that it's not simple, right?
Yao Luoge looked at Hu Luge a little anxiously, he knew that this man was ambitious, but his behavior, in Yao Luoge's opinion, was completely a mantis arm blocking the car, and he couldn't help himself.
Seeing that the untamed color in Hu Luge's eyes was getting stronger and stronger, and he wanted to speak, Yao Luo Ge immediately rushed ahead and shouted softly in the ethnic language: "Hu Luge! Have you drunk too much? Thank you for the emperor's grace! ”
Hu Luge's words were suffocated back into his stomach by Yao Luoge, and he couldn't help but change his face, and he was about to have a seizure, when his eyes blinked, he saw the rest of the leaders looking at him coldly, and after a while, although he was unwilling, he had to stalk his neck and say: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!" ”
"Hmm." Li Shimin let out a soft snort from his throat, raised his hand, and motioned for the singer who was waiting outside the hall to enter the hall to continue singing and dancing, and the ministers below then returned their attention to the singer who entered the hall.
After Hu Luge's interruption, the people in the hall felt a little excited, although the following songs and dances were also wonderful, but how could there be a good show staged above the hall? Even Li Shimin was a little absent-minded.
Li Shimin's heart clearly knew what businessmen meant to Li Mo. The child, who has been hidden since he was a child, has never been so attentive to anyone other than Li Zhi, and from Li Zhi's words, he can see Mo'er's intentions. He went to great lengths to place people around the merchant who could protect her, and often secretly went to see her at night, wanting to be nice to her, but he didn't know what to do with her!
Mo'er, the child, has been suppressed by their side for too long, and even the overtures to the woman they value the most are ridiculous, but this clumsiness makes people feel so distressed.
The prince also mentioned to him that he wanted to get rid of the cheap status of merchants, but he always felt that it was not the right time. Li Shimin thought to himself: He is still a selfish father! In my selfish heart, I always feel that let the businessman stay in the lowly status for a while longer, so that she can rely on Mo'er more, so that she can see more of Mo'er's goodness and love him more?
As a father, he can do so little for his children! He can be prosperous and wealthy, and he will have no worries for a lifetime! But Mo'er didn't want that, he wanted what he couldn't give! This made Li Shimin feel powerless, but the rules of the ancestors were so insurmountable, and he could only sigh as the Son of Heaven! If Mo'er missed this woman because of his identity as a businessman, Li Shimin didn't dare to imagine what Mo'er would do!
For the first time, Li Shimin moved the idea of selling his membership to businessmen.
Nonsense! Hu Duge! You really shouldn't be thinking about businessmen! Li Zhi, who was sitting at the head of Li Shimin, sighed softly in his heart, picked up the wine cup in his hand and drank it all, the unwillingness in Hu Luge's eyes was clearly reflected in Li Zhi's eyes, Li Zhi gently took off the jade pendant on his waist and put it on the low table in front of him. Some things are better done sooner than later!
Just a moment after Li Zhi took off the jade pendant and put it on a few tables, a waiter with a tray of wine jugs stepped forward.
"Prince, do you want to add wine?" The chamberlain knelt down beside the low table in front of Li Zhi and said in a low voice.
"Well, put it down." The light in Li Zhi's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his finger and tapped the jade pendant on a few points.
"What does the prince command?" The inner attendant raised his eyelids slightly, lowered his head and said softly.
"Go tell your family master, and find a chance to solve Hu Luge." Li Zhi picked up the freshly poured wine cup to cover his lips and said softly.
"Yes, slave understands." The inner attendant leaned over slightly, put the wine jug in the tray on the table, replaced the empty wine jug on Li Zhiji, got up and withdrew lightly from the hall, and turned to leave.
Li Zhi quietly put away the jade pendant on the table again, and shook his head slightly with the bright Hu Xuan dance tune in the hall, looking intoxicated.
Li Ke saw Li Zhi's small movements in his eyes, snorted slightly, put down the hand that was originally on his waist, picked up the wine cup on the table and took a sip. Since someone has already made a move, there is no need for him to intervene again, Yuwen has returned to Luoyang and there is no news coming, thinking that it should be here today, he still puts his mind on his side, otherwise, one day he will not even be able to figure out what is going on!
The singing and dancing in the front hall are still going on step by step, as soon as the performance of "King Qin's Breaking Array Music" is finished, the other side hall opposite to Shang Shang and others is full of human voices, and the men who participated in the dance are disassembling their costumes in that side hall.
Liu Xianglan was leaning outside the door and listening to the movement of the front hall, but she saw a man pacing over from the side hall opposite.
"Deng Tong has seen Liu Sile." The man approached the door of the hall, saluted Liu Xianglan, who was standing by the door, and raised his head.
"Is that you? Is there anything wrong? Liu Xianglan raised her eyes and saw that it was Deng Tong, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised, he was the lead dancer of King Qin's Breaking Array Music, but why was it on their female Maiko's side?
"Dare to ask, can the merchant girl and the Ruyi girl be in the palace?" Deng Tong suppressed the anxiety in his heart and asked as politely as possible. The news he heard when he was removing from the main hall just now made him unconsciously a little anxious, and no one thought of that Tie Letou
He asked the emperor to discuss it, but because of the rules, he couldn't stay in the palace, because he didn't hear the emperor's answer, but such a thing had happened before. Although the merchant is quite famous, and she is still the emperor's blue eyes, it is not certain that the emperor will not give her to the leader of Tiele, after all, compared with Jiangshan Sheji, a singer is really nothing!
"Exactly, but you must know that according to the rules of the palace, the male and female departments do not interact with each other on weekdays." Liu Xianglan was a little unsure of what Deng Tong wanted to do, there were many rules in the palace, and if something went wrong, she wouldn't be able to please her.
Deng Tong hesitated, it stands to reason that he really shouldn't come to Shangshang and Ruyi, but this matter is not trivial, if it is not done well, Shangshang's whole life will be lost! After thinking about it, he still felt that he should talk to the merchants, and in any case, he had always had some feelings with them.
"If it's inconvenient, please tell Liu Sile." Deng Tong arched his hand, his face was open.
When Liu Xianglan saw him like this, she laughed first, but it was just a matter of a few words, and she was thinking too much, with her staring at the side, could there be any problems?
"Merchant! Wishful! You two come out for a moment. Liu Xianglan whispered twice to the hall.
The merchant who was removing his makeup was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Ruyi, neither of them understood what was going on, the merchant put the small sword that had just been removed from his elbow on the dressing table, and Ruyi walked to the door of the hall, and when he looked closely, he saw Deng Tong standing at the door in a dance costume waiting.
At this time, the businessman didn't know how shocking the news he would hear next was, and when he saw Deng Tong with a dignified face, and looked at Ruyi with a pretty face next to him, he felt a little funny.
The smile on the face of the merchant made Ruyi on the side even more ashamed! Standing there helpless, just wringing the handkerchief in her hand, with the shyness of a little daughter.
"Merchant girl! Ruyi girl! Deng Tong bowed to the two, although Ruyi's expression was a little strange, but he didn't think deeply at this time.
"Deng everyone!" Shang Shang and Ruyi also gave a salute to Deng Tong, and with Deng Tong's dancing skills, they called everyone well-deserved!
"Please forgive the two girls for taking the liberty of taking the liberty, there is really something important to inform the two girls." Deng Tong looked at Shang Shang and Ruyi a little eagerly, and the smiles on the faces of the two girls were so obvious that he almost couldn't bear to say what he was about to say.
"Deng, everyone has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Although it was a little strange about Deng Tong's eagerness, the merchant still couldn't think of anything that would make Deng Tong so anxious.
"Merchant girl! This matter is very important, you must not take it lightly, when I was in the palace, I heard that one of the leaders of the nine surnamed Tiele outside the Guanwai asked the emperor for a merchant girl, and he was anxious for a while, so he took the liberty to come over and tell him. Deng Tong finished what he wanted to say in one breath, and the eagerness on his face was obvious.
"What did you say?" Shangshang, Ruyi, and Liu Xianglan were all shocked, and they exclaimed in unison.
