Layers of Old Things Like Dreams (3)
Yuxi listened for a while, smiled quietly, greeted the faint moonlight, and stepped into the hall, "Isn't it a pity that Niangniang played such a wonderful sound, and no one appreciates it?" ”
The graceful sound of the piano did not stop, Yu Xi found a chair to sit down, and leisurely looked at the slightly inclined phoenix hairpin on the head of the bamboo concubine, with the candle flame, and slowly blurred her eyes.
Concubine Zhu raised her eyes lightly and smiled softly: "It's rare that Aunt Eleven has such a good luck." The girl's dancing posture is ethereal and ethereal, not like everything in the world, but the sound of Zizhu's piano is still in the world, in comparison, it is far behind. ”
A clear light is like electricity, turning into a little light in the eyes. The bamboo concubine instinctively held on to her shoulders, dodged to the right, frowned slightly, the dagger and the golden needle fought, the fire was shining, and a red plum bead flower gently fell on the table.
Concubine Zhu smiled coldly: "The girl doesn't wear any hair accessories, and she is really a stunning person." Is this place of speech splendid? ”
A black silk poured down, Yuxi turned the candle flame, did not answer directly, but smiled lightly: "The lights shine in the shadows, and the country and the city are overwhelmed." In the whole world, except for slaves, who dares to have such a face? ”
The slender figure outside the door paused, and couldn't help but hook his lips and smile. In the world, how can there be such a woman?
The two people in the room, looking at each other, the atmosphere around them was suddenly tense, quite tense, and no one made the first move. But at this moment, I suddenly heard a small maid outside come in and report: "Niangniang, Niangniang, Your Majesty is here." The holy car has arrived at the door. ”
Yu Xi was shocked, when she met Jiang Zi at the door, she should think of the emperor and the future harem.
Concubine Zhu smiled softly again, looked at a red plum on the table and said, "Auntie wants to run for her life, but don't forget to take the bead flowers away." ”
Yu Xi knew that something was wrong, gritted her teeth and was about to escape through the window, only to hear a cold voice sound, "Eleven, I asked you to come and talk to Concubine Zhu, I will come later." Have you done your errand? ”
Hearing this, Yu Xi's heart was racing, and she pulled a green ribbon on the head of Concubine Zhu, tied her long hair over her waist, and before Ning Xi came in, she had already cleaned up, and immediately bowed her head and knelt down and said, "The slave maid just replied to Niangniang's words." ”
Since the emperor has come to help, it will be much easier. Yu Xi wondered in her heart, but why didn't the emperor come directly to the Bamboo Fragrance Pavilion?
After listening to a few tunes, he walked with her on the shore of Qifeng Lake. She finally couldn't help it, and looked up and asked him where he was.
She waited for a while, but he didn't speak. A pair of eyes stared at him so stubbornly, until he said lightly: "I've been sitting on the roof and thinking about things." It's just that you didn't see it from Pingyao. ”
Yu Xi's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but think of exploring the royal secrets at night, looking for Jiang Zi to borrow a token, peeking at the spring palace map, and running to the harem to fight with people, I don't know how much he looked. What should I do? If he asked, he was thinking about the wording, but who knew that Ning Xi looked down at her, and his eyesight was really excellent, so he just asked, "Why did you lose the bead?" ”
Yu Xi was shocked again, and couldn't guess how much he knew, so he only sighed abruptly: "It's broken." ”
He looked at her lightly, with a cold demeanor under the moonlight, but said softly: "You give me the silk thread, and I will ask the palace people to string a string of good ones for you." “
After March, Qianyang Palace.
Jiang Zi came to report happily, "Your Majesty, there is a letter from the south." ”
Ning Xi kept his hand off the pen, his eyes swept over his happy face, continued to criticize the fold, and asked casually, "What do you say?"
Jiang Zi said with a gentle smile: "Long live the master first forgive the slave disrespect, and then the slave will talk about it." ”
Ning Xi stopped writing and said with a smile: "Heh! You've learned to slip your head too. Okay, spare you first, let's talk about it! ”
A joke, no need to worry.
Jiang Zi, who has always been stable in the world, couldn't help but have some eyebrows fluttering, "The Qinghuang envoy went back, saying that our Moqing Dynasty was poor, the people couldn't eat enough, and the most prosperous streets were full of beggars, guessing that the impact of the flood was too heavy." Emperor Ningxi of the Moqing Dynasty was greedy and lustful, lingering in the flower street and willow lane. There are countless palace concubines, and they all have flower names. also said that the emperor has outstanding appearance, but unfortunately his vision is too poor, and he doesn't even let go of the palace concubine's maidservant! ”
Ning Xi also felt funny, and it was not good to lose his physique, so he said with a straight face: "I know, you go down first!" ”
As soon as Jiang Zi retreated, Ning Xi paused his pen and smiled faintly.
The court discussed, local officials reported that Qinghuang continued to harass the Cainan border, robbed money and harassed the people, and was miserable, Ning Xi pressed the case and put it on hold. The court officials were divided into three factions, one faction for peace, one faction for the main battle, and one faction for silence.
The imperial court did not make a decision, and kept secretly collecting grain and grass in private.
There is also a court discussion, and the hidden prince, who has been a proton in the Moqing Dynasty for many years, was asked by Emperor Hao of Qinghuang to send Qinghuang again. To make a long-term plan for the development of relations between Moqing and Qinghuang, Ning Xi pressed the case and put it on hold.
The imperial court continued to privately order and raise armaments, including battle robes, weapons, etc.
There is another discussion, and this time it is not a matter of whether to fight or not, but whether to make peace or not to fight. Because, Qinghuang's army in the south has already been hit by artillery fire. It is urgent to decide whether to decide or not.
At this time, an extremely talented civil official in Qinghuang sent an article, the words were powerful and orderly, which made people read it, and felt that this world should be able to live in it. The Manchu Dynasty was angry with both civil and military forces, but the emperor was the only one who nodded and praised his quick mind and excellent literary style.
Finally, it was autumn and the army was mobilized.
To Qinghuang's surprise, Emperor Ning Xi of the Moqing Dynasty really responded this time. He didn't look for another woman to kiss, but, the royal family!
Two nights before the army marched, Yu Xi saw him reading a book in the hall, and he didn't know what he was reading. Yu Xi saw that he was very fascinated, obviously frowning, but suddenly raised his lips and smiled, as bright as a warm spring.
Yu Xi saw that the book was covered with a blue cover, with faint creases, as if it was a little familiar, and she didn't have time to look closely, but Ning Xi had already discovered her, and quietly inserted the book into her sleeve, as if she was a little uncomfortable, but there was still a faint smile between her eyebrows, and asked, "Who let you in?" ”
Yuxi was slightly stunned and said, "Didn't the emperor call the slaves and maids over?" ”
Ning Xi seemed to pause slightly, and said, "Listen to the people below, you have been very close to my palace concubine recently?" ”
Yu Xi said in his heart: "Isn't it always close?" But he said, "The slave doesn't dare to go, if the mother calls the slave and the maid to go, the slave and the maid don't dare not go." ”
Ning Xi sighed and asked, "Which lady?" ”
Yu Xi thought that he must have known, and he didn't hide it, and said, "It's Rong Niangniang." ”
Ning Xi seemed to think of something and said, "In the future, you, don't go to my harem again." After speaking, there was a faint crimson on his face.
Yu Xi didn't know why, and lowered his head and said, "Yes!" ”
Ning Xi asked again, "Do you know Xiang Si?" (To be continued.) )
