On the second day, Ye Sheng was woken up by the hustle and bustle on the street. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

She usually slept very lightly, and somehow she slept quite deeply last night. As soon as he pushed it up, there was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of the old Han Tou: "Little Brother Ye, but is it up?" ”

Ye Sheng said "um", "It's up." ”

"Little Lao'er has reheated breakfast, do you want to bring it in now?" Old Han asked.

Ye Sheng subconsciously shook his head, and thought that the old Han couldn't see it, so he said lightly: "Send it to my sister's room, I'll use it with her later." ”

The footsteps outside the door left, and after a while, I heard the sound of the door opening next door, Jiang Wan seemed to have woken up a long time ago, so she talked to Lao Hantou at the door, and when it came to today's Spring Festival ceremony, Ye Sheng's dressing action couldn't help but stop.

The so-called three waits for the beginning of spring, one waits for the east wind to thaw, the second waits for the stinging insects to start vibrating, and the third waits for the fish to bear the ice. This is the big day of the year, and the whole city will go to participate in today's Spring Festival. After the ceremony was held on the bank of the Qinshui River, there were also singing and dancing performances on the Phoenix Stage. The tavern Qinglou in Shangying City will also be open to the public for free to celebrate the arrival of spring. However, Phoenix Terrace is a place that only the royal family and nobles can enter, and the common people can only indulge in the major dance halls and music halls in Beijing.

The two of them were talking energetically, and when they heard the door next door, they all turned their heads to look at Ye Sheng.

At this glance, both of them were stunned.

Jiang Wan glared, looked at Ye Sheng, pointed to her strange appearance that her body was tightly wrapped up and down, and even her face was wrapped in gauze, and asked, "What are you doing when you dress like this?" ”

Ye Sheng followed her gaze and looked at herself, and replied lightly: "Go to the Spring Festival Ceremony." ”

"Just go, why are you dressed up like this...... Unsightly? Even Old Han couldn't help but ask out loud.

"There are so many people today that I don't want to attract attention." Ye Sheng didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her mummy dress, in short, others couldn't see her face.

The corners of the old Han's mouth twitched at the same time, dressed like this, it was difficult not to be noticeable!

Jiang Wan remembered what Ye Sheng said to her last night, thinking that she must have planned to secretly solve the gunpowder matter when she went to the Spring Festival Ceremony this time, so she fixed her eyes on the strip of cloth on her face, and suddenly smiled: "Cousin, you can't do this, let me dress you up!" After the words fell, she turned her head to look at Old Han Tou, "Please ask Grandpa Han to find me some rouge gouache snails and mud paste, and then find a power fence." ”

Old Han Tou responded, put the pastries in his hand into the house, glanced at Ye Sheng's outfit again, and left with a smile.

On the long street of Shangying, the imperial capital, at this time it is the sound of firecrackers, the noise of gongs and drums, the carriages and horses are difficult to come and go, and the crowds of people are crowded. Many rich sons have abandoned their cars and taken a group of guards to create a spacious and comfortable environment in the flow of people. What's more, the three-year-old child rode on the shoulders of tall bodyguards to watch the procession, and his condescending and arrogant look was actually ashamed of right and wrong, but proud.

Here, a sneer came from a side room surrounded by carved jade and jade, as if he was disdainful of these people's shameless behavior.

Looking at the room, I saw six people sitting in front of the round table with red lacquer and gold carvings, namely Du Feizhou, the son of Dali Siqing, Lu Jin, the son of the General's Mansion, Dong Zhang, the son of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Kong Liang, the son of the Shangshu of the Military Department, Gongsun Jun, the son of the Yushi of Zuodu, and Yun Qingran, the second son of the Marquis of Zhongyuan. It was a group of people who appeared in the Chungwon Marquis Mansion a few days ago. From this point of view, the laughter with three points of coldness and seven points of ridicule must have come from Yun Qingran.

These people are all real kings and grandsons, and they are naturally more elegant and elegant than the sons of big families who have no power, no power and no support.

Except for Yun Qingran, several other people were playing with the pitcher and drinking order, laughing and laughing from time to time. Du Feizhou lost three times in a row, drank the last glass of wine, was already a little drunk, and pushed his hand to play: "Don't play, don't play!" The four of you teamed up to bully one of me, and I won't play anymore! ”

Lu Jin said a little funny: "It's obvious that your eyesight is unknown and your luck is not good, how can you blame us?" ”

Du Feizhou glared and complained: "The four of you all have martial arts, but I don't!" The rule is that two people can shoot at the same time, but it doesn't say that your arrows can shoot me down halfway! ”

"It's even more resent of us." Gongsun Jun said with a smile while drinking, "Originally, Brother Qingran joined, and the six of us could be divided into three groups, but since Brother Qingran was not interested, the number of five of us was strange, so naturally we had to choose one to be the banker." And this dealer is also a voluntary part of your choosing, isn't it? What's more, the mouth of the pot is thin and the belly is big, and if you want to win, of course, you have to rely on your ability. ”

Gongsun Jun is the son of Gongsun Mao, the imperial history of Zuodu, who has been good at literature and martial arts since he was a child, and has been nurtured by his father, and his kung fu is also first-class. With his defense, Du Feizhou had no words to refute, so he had to snort unwillingly and walked to Yun Qingran's side.

The window was wide open, Du Feizhou glanced out, and happened to see the Spring Festival procession walking through the long street. The people who walked in front were all wearing cyan clothes, holding the cyan flag, and several people in the middle carried a gorgeously decorated green wood platform, surrounded by musicians and pianists before and after, and the phoenix flute and luan pipe echoed leisurely, and the Yingying singing voice came out from a high platform, like a jade bead round, and like gurgling water, chanting and singing, with a unique charm.

Du Feizhou's eyes lit up, and he looked down fixedly at the woman in red dancing on the high platform.

The woman's forehead was hung with beads, her face was covered with tulle, and she could only faintly see a pair of clear and moving eyes. In the group of emerald green, she is the only one with the color of Yeli, as if for a moment, she is the only one in the sky and the earth smiling and fragrant.

Around the high platform, four virgins sat on their knees and threw flowers at the crowd standing on both sides of the long street. In previous years, everyone had to reach out to receive flowers, which means "blessings", but now few have reached out. Everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the woman in red who was stunning and captivating, and her soul had already flown away from the nine heavens. However, the woman turned a blind eye to the eager eyes of the street, holding the feather in her hand, the lotus step moved lightly, the waist was curled, the sleeves were flying, and the green silk was elegantly dyed, like a fairy who had strayed into the mortal dust, which made people afraid to look at it.

"Which girl danced this year's Yunqiao Dance?" Du Feizhou couldn't help but ask, his eyes didn't leave the street for a moment.

Kong Liang also walked over, looked at it appreciatively for a while, and said: "'Dancing like an orchid, graceful like a dragon', this year's Yunqiao Dance is much better than in previous years!" Everyone raised their eyebrows in surprise, and they all left their arrows and walked towards the window. Originally, they didn't come out to watch the Spring Festival Ceremony, after all, no matter how beautiful things are, they will get tired of watching them every year!

The five of them all came to the window, and it was inevitable that it would be crowded for a while, not to mention that there was a Yun Qingran lying on the beauty couch basking in the sun nearby.

Sure enough, before they got closer, Yun Qingran pinched the bridge of his nose and said with some displeasure: "What a fuss, what's there to see?" ”

Du Feizhou turned around and retorted to him, "You can't look down on any woman, and it doesn't matter if you look good or not!" But a few of us are normal men, let's see what's wrong with the pretty girl? The ancients said: Chromophobia also! Every time they enter and leave the Qinglou, they hug each other left and right, and they are beautiful, but he is the only one who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, and only cares about drinking!

Yun Qingran squinted her eyes and asked a little dangerously, "You mean, I'm not a normal man?" ”

Everyone was shocked by his eyes, and their hairs rose suddenly. Du Feizhou knew that his words were wrong, and he was afraid that he would provoke the irascible lion, so he hurriedly laughed and begged for mercy: "Of course I didn't mean that!" I mean......" His mind went blank for a moment, and he couldn't hold back half a word.

Gongsun Jun answered with a smile: "Brother Feizhou means that a man like Qing Ran who is clean and self-conscious, I am afraid that there will be no second one in the world." The court of the Marquis of Zhongyuan is full of loyalty, such as the Marquis of Zhongyuan's life, which has long become a good story in Daqin. Brother Qingran is a little ear and eye, and he may be a couple for the rest of his life in the future. ”

Du Feizhou nodded violently at his words, and his heart was suddenly grateful to Gongsun Jun, and the unhappiness of playing the game just now disappeared in an instant.

Yun Qingran snorted coldly, but she didn't care anymore, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and each glanced at each other, with a somewhat helpless smile in their eyes.

"Hey, didn't the emperor come to this year's Spring Festival Ceremony in person?" Lu Jin suddenly looked at the last sedan car of the Spring Festival team, a little surprised.

A few people followed his gaze, only to see a wide three feet three inches sprinkled gold warm sedan chair carried by eight people slowly walking, the car cover, wheel and pole are all decorated with gold, painted and embroidered with colorful Zhai, carved up and down exquisite flowers, although it is also gorgeous enough, graceful and noble, but it is indeed not the emperor's jade!

Gongsun Jun said with an inquiring expression: "Listen to my father, General Wei entered the palace yesterday to meet the emperor, and I don't know what edict he secretly received. Did you find that in this year's Spring Festival Ceremony, the soldiers and horses of the Jingwei Command Envoy and the Qingyu Battalion were not strictly guarded, and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion did not impose martial law and blockade, but only sent some people to maintain order among the people. It's weird! ”

When Du Feizhou heard this, he turned his head to look at Yun Qingran, who was refreshed, "What did your brother say to the emperor, why didn't the emperor come to the abbot's ceremony?" And the defense of the whole city was withdrawn? What if something unexpected happens? ”

"Are your questions too much?" Yun Qingran opened her eyes slowly, the fox eyes were lightly picked, and in an instant, her eyes flowed, her expression was misty and dazzling, "Want to know?" Go into the palace and ask the emperor by yourself! ”

Du Feizhou was stunned, and thought to himself, it may be difficult for someone in this world to be better than Yun Qingran's beauty, how could such a person be reincarnated as a man? But thinking about it again, according to what he said, he can anger the temperament of a big living person, if it is a woman, she probably won't be able to marry in this life!

After some cranky thinking, he felt depressed in his chest, and instantly didn't care about Yun Qingran's bullying of him, and said with a smile: "Qingran, you have such a good relationship with your brother, you must be able to guess what he talked about when he entered the palace and talked to the emperor, don't be stingy!" Everyone also looked at him expectantly, not only because he had a good relationship with Yun Shaohuang, but also because he was smart!

Yun Qingran hooked her lips, and under their eager gaze, she finally said compassionately: "The emperor is not out of the palace, it is nothing more than because there is a threat to him from outside!" ”

Lu Jin was astute, and after hearing the words, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized, "General Yun must have seen through some conspiracy, and he only rushed into the palace yesterday to meet him." But if the emperor doesn't come in person, why should he withdraw the defending army? ”

Yun Qingran glanced at him and said, "Isn't it the reason why you said it upside down?" The defenses of several major camps were removed, and the emperor did not come in person. ”

Lu Jin was stunned, lowered his eyes and thought again.

Gongsun Jun and the others also thought silently.

Du Feizhou's eyes rolled, and he suddenly laughed, "You guys are so stupid, I can't figure this out!" Although the Jingwei Command Envoy and the Qingyu Battalion did not defend with great fanfare, they did not necessarily secretly dispatch! ”

Lu Jin was spotted by him, and said with a bright eye: "That's right! General Yun must have wanted to capture those assassins with malicious intentions, so he did not mobilize troops and horses to blockade them, just to lure the snake out of the hole. But the emperor felt that his safety was so threatened, so he simply left the palace. On that sedan chair, it must be the prince he sent to comfort the people on behalf of the Son of Heaven and the abbot of the Spring Festival Ceremony! Eh, it's a pity for General Yun's clever plan. In the capital of the Great Qin Emperor, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are still people who plot against each other and want to do disobedient things. If it is not removed, it may become a cancer that shakes Great Qin in the future. ”

He let out a long sigh and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

Yun Qingran glanced at him appreciatively. Although Emperor Qin is high up and has great power, he also has something to fear. He is afraid of death, because when a person dies, there is nothing! Even when he was young, he crisscrossed the western frontier, galloped on the battlefield, and had hills and valleys in his chest. Even if he is now sitting on the Great Qin River, he is majestic and unattainable. He was still afraid.

Yun Qingran smiled lightly, got up from the beauty couch, walked to the window, and swept her eyes over the Spring Festival team that had already gone away, deep and unfathomable.

On the bank of the Qinshui River, Ye Sheng waited on the slow slope early. The wind blew the hem of her clothes, causing a cold arc, and the veils of the fence fluttered endlessly.

Seeing the group of people walking from the city gate, her eyes quickly fixed on Mangshen and Chun Niu, and of course she also saw Yun Shaohuang, who pretended to be an ordinary person and followed the crowd behind the team. After a distance, there were a few people dressed as sons, who followed and appeared.

Ye Sheng retracted her gaze and turned to look at the most likely hiding place around, and after glancing around, she looked back at the Spring Festival team.

The brightly dressed man was holding the knighthood ceremony, her eyes paused, and she smiled secretly in her heart, sure enough, once the emperor knew that someone wanted to kill him, he would definitely not appear again. Then this man, presumably the son he doesn't fancy to?

Let his son take the risk instead of him, the key is that the son may not know what to do, thinking that he is loved by the emperor, so he got this errand. It's really called being sold and helping people to count the money!

At this time, the ceremonial officer struck the spring ox with a colored whip and respectfully handed the golden pestle into the man's hand. He took it and slowly stepped up to the earth cow platform, his movements were crisp and neat, and he smashed the clay spring cow to pieces.

The ceremonial officer shouted a few auspicious words, and the crowd of onlookers echoed him.

At this moment, a rocket suddenly shot out from the forest in the south, and it broke through the air!

Ye Sheng was standing in the southwest corner, and her ears were sensitive, she had noticed the movement as early as when someone was lighting the arrow, and she was ready, and now the arrow was out of the sheath, and the stone in her hand shot out like lightning, and when the rocket was about to ignite the gunpowder hidden in the spring cow, it fell to the ground.

Yun Shaohuang jumped out of the crowd, came to the earth cow platform, and saw the gunpowder and the extinguished rocket in the spring cow clearly, and his face sank slightly.

The ceremonial officer exclaimed in surprise and sat down on the ground in fright.

Those people were really annoyed and angry, she sabotaged their plan, and she couldn't kill the emperor, so she took these innocent people to relieve their hatred. Ye Sheng smiled coldly, and his eyes hidden under the fence seemed to shatter ice, making people tremble when they saw it.

After solving the problem, she was just about to turn away when she suddenly felt two eyes grab her. One to explore, one to play. She was shocked in her heart, with the way she made a move, it was so fast and fast, even Yun Shaohuang, who had outstanding martial arts in the empire, didn't even notice it, who could have such a keen observation?

And it's two!

Her eyes changed a little, and she simply raised her hand to remove the fence above her head. The sunlight swayed down, shining a face completely different from Ye Sheng's. The eyebrows are wide and the eyes are narrow, the bridge of the nose is deep, the cheekbones are high, the cheeks are slightly sunken, and the complexion is dark yellow with dark spots. But the owners of those two lines of sight were quite far away from her, and they could only see her face.

Ye Sheng hooked his lips slightly, feeling that the two lines of sight were invariably retracted, so he put on the power fence again, turned around and left the bank of the Qinshui River.
