Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Fish Fairy
"What's going on?" As soon as the mandarin duck entered the door, she saw the palace maid kneeling on the ground, and Duanyue scolded her coldly, and she was shocked. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Duanyue was also shocked when she saw her enter the door, after all, she was the one who peeked at other people's letters, what kind of face did she have to show off her might? She hurriedly coughed to relieve the embarrassment, waved her hand and let the palace maid go down. The palace maid was relieved, and trotted with her head down and disappeared.
Seeing the suspicious expression of the mandarin duck fox, Duanyue hurriedly explained with a smile. "I didn't come to you, but you weren't there, so I asked the palace maid, who knows if you don't know if you ask three questions, how can you serve your master like this, so I just taught you a lesson." As he spoke, he pulled her to the soft couch and sat down.
The mandarin duck frowned, and she couldn't bear the palace maid, so she defended her. "I didn't make it clear to her, so I can't blame her."
"It's just a palace maid, don't take it to heart." Duanyue 囫囵 shifted the topic. "Where did you just go?"
"Ah, what a coincidence," the mandarin duck bent her eyes, like a peony blooming in the twilight of spring, and a smile was written on her face. "I just went to your place, and it turned out that you came to me, what a coincidence." As he spoke, the laughter of silver bells filled the tent with grace.
She whispered interesting things about the hunting ground, but Duanyue couldn't listen to anything, just responded to the surface one after another. She looked at the mandarin duck's face, but she kept thinking about who wrote the letter? And will the mandarin duck go to the appointment?
Both of them are now approaching the age of Ji, Duanyue is the lord of Shi'an, no one dares to say goodbye, but Mandarin Mandarin is different. She is a well-known lady, virtuous and dignified, and the only daughter of Yu Zhongshu, with a solid family background, the threshold of Yu's house is about to be flattened, and there are many matchmakers who come to the door every day to say goodbye, and Mrs. Yu has to mutter a few words every time she sees Duanyue. Even the prime minister ran an olive branch to Yu's house, but Yu Zhongshu blocked all these people from the door, only saying that "the children's affairs are all listened to by the children", and now the courtyard is sparsely populated.
To be honest, Mandarin Mandarin only interacts with Duanyue on weekdays, and if you want to say that there is a man you love, Duanyue really can't think of it.
The delicate mandarin duck could see Duanyue's blank face, she stopped her voice and asked puzzledly. "What are you thinking?"
"Ahh Duanyue reacted in a hurry, and was quite alert, and hurriedly replied. "I think you just said that the big fish caught from that lake, that fish is really a big man?"
Mandarin Duck continued with interest. "Yes, the palace people said that it was a fish fairy, but Master Ke of the Ministry of Industry said that the emperor was the son of the dragon, and he wanted to dedicate the big fish to the emperor to shake the Three Realms."
"Huh? So what kind of fish is delicious? But Duanyue didn't catch the point of what the mandarin duck said, and suddenly ran astray, and the angry mandarin duck didn't have the will to continue.
Her delicate eyebrows glared at Duanyue fiercely, so that Duanyue could only be silenced and only dared to laugh. "You said that you have never been in shape, how can you marry someone in the future?"
"I'm not married! I want to be free. She shook her head desperately and blocked Mandarin Mandarin's words.
The mandarin duck, who was choked up, "snorted", obviously not believing her statement. "You don't have anyone you like?"
As soon as Duanyue searched in his mind, that face suddenly jumped out, and his cheeks were red, like a red glow in the twilight. "There are a lot of people who are pleasing to the eye, Brother Yin, Brother Chen, Xu Xiachu, and Yan Xinghui are all very pleasing to the eye, but I don't necessarily want to marry them, right?"
"I think Cousin Xia Chu is a good person, a talent, and now he has merits, I remember that I still live in your house, isn't this the first month near the water?" There was cunning in the mandarin mandarin mandarin's eyes, and her tone was not as explicit as if she could say it.
Xu Xiachu seemed to have had an unpleasant relationship with Xu Lin in the past year, so she moved to Ninghou Mansion in a fit of anger, and stayed idle like this, eating and living for nothing. Yan Feng didn't want to chase him, and Xu Lin never came to find his son, so Duanyue felt strange no matter how she thought about it.
Duanyue glanced at the mandarin duck angrily. "You just want to kiss me," she said, pretending to tremble. "I imagined you calling me my cousin, I really can't get used to it!"
Mandarin Yuan smiled lightly, and she nodded. "It's the same, if you climb into a relationship, you will feel uncomfortable." A sigh dissipated all the jokes just now. "It's all a joke just now, we can't help with the relationship, everything is still up to you."
"Don't patronize me, and pay more attention to your own affairs." Duanyue groaned in a deep voice, obviously having something to say. The mandarin duck just looked at her lightly and stopped answering.
The palace maid called the two to go to dinner, and it can be said that they won countless eyes along the way. Everyone was whispering, why did this Shi'an County Lord come to the hunting ground. Duanyue ignored the gazes of others, and involuntarily raised her jaw, looking arrogant.
"Huh? Why is Shi'an here? The old emperor leaned forward, as if he thought he had seen something wrong, and looked at it seriously, and sure enough, it was Shi'an standing in front of him!
Duanyue crossed Murong Chui's difficulty, and now she looks at ease. She bowed to the old emperor. "Shi'an is not convinced!"
The old emperor stroked his beard, smiled, and asked puzzledly. "What's not convincing about you?"
"If you want to talk about riding and shooting, Shi'an grew up in the border pass, and she is still the daughter of a general, of course, these are all familiar to you, and I am very happy to learn that the emperor is going to organize a hunt! But who knew that the emperor would not come to Shi'an, so Shi'an came secretly. She showed an aggrieved little expression, and others looked like it was real.
Seeing that she moved out of Shen Changfeng, the old emperor could only fool around. "Originally, he wanted Ning Hou to come, but he led his troops to Yueyang. That's it, it's okay for you to come for your brother. As he spoke, he glanced at the mandarin duck who bowed his head behind Duanyue, and waved his hand to the palace people who were waiting on the side. Come on, give ...... Two seats. ”
Since it is a hunting ground, this dinner is naturally the prey of today's hunting, and a large earthen kang was dug in front of everyone, and the four eunuchs carried a huge deer up and set it up on the grill on the earthen pit. The dead deer that was disemboweled, the mandarin duck who saw it couldn't help covering his face with a papa, frowning, as if he could still smell blood.
When the old emperor saw this huge deer, he laughed heartily. "Who shot this deer?"
Meng Yin stood up from his seat, bowed to the old emperor, and said in a tone that was neither arrogant nor humble. "Back to the father's words, this deer is hunted by the sons, "deer" and the word Lu homonym, the sons wish the father and the emperor auspicious longevity, longevity! Such a flattering remark followed the old emperor's wishes.
He shuddered with laughter. "Good! Come on, give the strongest deer leg of this deer to the fifth child! ”
Everyone should be reconciled, and everyone's attention did not notice Meng Yin's body, but they were all looking forward to the "fish fairy". After three rounds of drinking, Manager Gao glanced at the people below, and the two clever eunuchs immediately ran down. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but put down the cups in their hands.
The "fish fairy" was placed on a wooden plank, and the two little eunuchs were lifted up with difficulty. You can see the green tendons on their arms and necks to know how heavy the fish is. Duanyue was also attracted by this, although I heard that there was a person who was long, but it was really more than one person at this glance. The head of the fish alone was the size of the table in front of it, and the eyes of the fish were the size of a man's fist.
Everyone sighed at the size of the fish, and Duanyue stared at the fish that had already died, and goosebumps appeared behind it. Such a big fish, to say the least, has lived for decades and almost a hundred years, and they are all spiritual things, so can't you eat them?
But as far as she thinks so, the courtiers all use this to flatter the old emperor.
"My emperor is powerful in all directions, and even the fish immortals are willing to bow down, which shows that my Liang is prosperous!"
"That's what your lord said! The emperor is the son of the dragon, the son of the real dragon, this fish fairy is really not enough to worry about! ”
Duanyue rolled her eyes and listened to everyone's sycophants. It is too marginal for such a big fish to be able to bring prosperity to the country.
When the old emperor saw the big fish, his eyes hesitated slightly, and he didn't know whether to eat it or not for a while. He said to the crowd. "This fish is a sacred omen, and I would like to share it with all of you."
But immediately a minister stood up and politely refused. "Your Majesty! How can mortals eat this fish, only the emperor can enjoy it exclusively. ”
I don't know if everyone has their own thoughts, after someone started, everyone said that mortals dare not eat "holy things", which is not clear that they don't want to eat and force the emperor to eat.
The old emperor could naturally see what everyone meant, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger. If you don't eat it, you will lose your face if you spread it. As soon as his heart was crossed, he ordered the senior manager next to him to bring the fish meat. In response, Mr. Gao immediately walked to the edge of the fish fairy, took the short knife handed by the eunuch, and as soon as his eyes were clear, he took the knife and inserted it into the belly of the fish, and in an instant the scarlet blood came out and sprinkled all over the ground.
Seeing that he was flustered, the mandarin duck immediately turned his head away and didn't dare to look again. Duanyue, who had seen a big scene, also felt a little cruel, so she frowned and continued to watch.
I don't know if the fish is not dead, or if it is really spiritual, and its tail flutters. This shocked the ministers even more, and they were talking nonsense about "holy relics" and "aura" in their mouths.
Mr. Gao quickly cut off a piece of white jade meat on the belly of the fish, placed it on a plate, and presented it to the royal car.
The old emperor held silver chopsticks, which could only be picked up and put in his mouth. His face twitched, then he nodded with a smile.
"This fish is very delicious."
With that, the big fish that had been cut off a small piece of flesh was carried back the way it came. Duanyue felt very sorry for the fish, and lived for so long in fear, but it still fell short. However, after being arrested, he didn't make a good dish, and the fish on the board could only be helpless.
