Chapter 256
Cai Wei never thought that one day, she would be imprisoned by a woman, or for such a seemingly ridiculous reason.
Since having dinner with the emperor in Huayin Pavilion that night, His Majesty the Emperor ordered that Cai Wei, the "purple-clothed gentleman", was invited into the side hall of the emperor's palace that night, and since then, she has never been allowed to go back to live with Ma Li. I was forced to stay with the emperor from morning till night, or to tell her stories, or to listen to her sing waka songs, anyway, I had to stay where the emperor could see.
Emperor Guangming was also worried that the princess of Linchuan of Daqin would have a temper, so he kept silent and would rather die than obey anything, who knew that people had no intention of resisting at all, so he moved the place and let her tell the story, and even more relaxed in front of himself than before, and from time to time pointed out the inappropriateness of the words of some verses in the waka he composed.
The more Cai Wei came like this, the more peaceful she became, the more uneasy the emperor became in his heart in addition to joy, and his various precautions against her became stricter, and he didn't even let her see Ma Li's face, for fear that she would use some method to leak the news.
Cai Wei was still not annoyed, and asked Emperor Guangming with a faint smile, "I don't care if I don't see Ma Li, but Your Majesty has stopped summoning her for so many days, don't you want to listen to Western stories anymore?" โ
The emperor was still hidden behind the curtain, and said in a hoarse voice: "Anyway, she has already spoken about it, it doesn't matter whether she listens or not, I still want to hear Zhou Jun tell the story of that Sun Daguan, I can't imagine that this sequel is more exciting than the previous one!" โ
It turned out that after Cai Wei conquered Emperor Guangming's love of stories with a story, she was too lazy to make up fresh stories for her every day, which was too brain-consuming, but if she told her the stories of Daqin that she knew, she was afraid that she would be told that it would be a legend that had been passed down from Fusang for thousands of years.
It's not that she is a villain, but it is really that Daqin generously passed on a lot of good things to the two subject countries of Gaoli and Fusang, who knows that these two apprentices have learned, and when they learn to learn, they will not admit that they were taught to him by the master, and they want to think of themselves as sects. Among them, especially the high profit is the most shameless, not only saying that the Dragon Boat Festival is theirs, but also saying that Confucius, Xizi, Li Shizhen and other celebrities of Daqin are all their high profits.
With such lessons from the past, how dare Cai Wei tell her all kinds of novels and stories in her own country, these are all precious literary legacies passed down from her ancestors, and she can't be a loser, all of them are known to outsiders. simply pieced together the various romantic deeds of the Sun Youxiang that Qin Fei had told her as a joke, and the strange talk of hunting beauty, and added some trivial and jealous stories in the back house, and told the emperor a paragraph every day, and replaced the short story of one day with a long commentary that told one chapter a day.
Because she told them vividly, although they were ordinary stories of the world, the emperor had never seen them, and he listened to them with relish, and waited for her to tell the next chapter every day.
Cai Wei was also afraid that the emperor would not keep them in order to listen to the story, and she had estimated that the days were almost up, so she ended the story. Who knew that after listening to the story, the emperor said that the things he promised them had not been done, and they were not allowed to leave.
After staying for two more days, Qiu Wu came in, the emperor had a showdown with her, Cai Wei saw that she still couldn't leave for a while, and she was too lazy to make up a new story, so she directly brought out the story that she had just finished and then started the sequel - the story of the protagonist and his son, not only the twists and turns are wonderful, but the plot is even more incredible.
But on this day, when she came to the emperor, she was no longer greeted by the emperor's kind words with a smile, "Zhou Jun is finally here, and you can hear the following again, what a day to look forward to!" โ
Rather, it was a cry that bordered on hysteria: "Too much deception!" It's just too deceitful! โ
"Why? Why did he want me to hand them over? โ
The inner chamber was already in shambles, and the Emperor had smashed almost everything he could, and even the curtains hanging in front of her had been torn apart by her.
This is the first time Cai Wei has seen the true face of the emperor behind the curtain, and the eyes of the water cutter are not full of autumn water, but he is angry; It is also difficult to find a fairy face on the jade face of hibiscus, but the complexion is hideous.
The enraged Emperor finally sensed something abnormal, she let out a short exclamation, and before Cai Wei could look at her again, she had already turned around quickly, leaving Cai Wei with a proud back.
"Get out, I don't want to see you again today!" A hoarse voice commanded in a loud voice.
Seeing that the emperor was in such a bad mood, Cai Wei's mood that had been depressed for more than twenty days suddenly improved, and she smiled: "It seems that His Majesty the Emperor has not listened to the story of Yaxing today." The Tokugawa shogun has already come to ask for someone, and I will not be able to finish this story a hundred times. โ
She sighed deliberately, "What a pity! I can't tell this story to His Majesty in its entirety! โ
When the emperor heard this, he seemed to want to turn back, just twisted his neck, and suddenly paused, and said in a dumb voice: "It turns out that Zhou Jun did it on purpose?" โ
Deliberately telling her the same story as usual, telling the story more twisting and moving than before, gripping, and then, at the most fascinating moment, suddenly withdrawing so that she could no longer hear the following.
It turned out that her Zhou Jun had long known that there would be this day, and the general would come to take care of her important people, so in order to retaliate against her, he deliberately continued to tell her stories. What could be more malicious revenge for a story-addict?
She just wanted Zhou Jun to stay by her side, why didn't she agree? Why can't she, as the emperor, even do such a small thing?
"Get out! Get out of here! Since Zhou Jun wants to leave, then let me get away and never appear in front of me again! โ
For some reason, after the initial pleasure of revenge, looking at the Guangming Emperor who had lost his demeanor and was hysterical, Cai Wei suddenly felt a little sad in her heart.
But the thought of soon being able to leave the palace where she had been locked up for almost three months made her happy again. Since General Tokugawa will come to the emperor to ask for someone, it means that he already knows her identity, then he will never let her be an idler eating rice in Fusang Country, as long as he makes a move, then Qin Fei will definitely know the news that she is in Fusang.
As for how to take her back from Fusang again, he threw it to her good husband, His Royal Highness the King of Chuan, and threw her into the sea without saying a word, and said that he lived and died together, he stayed with the Tartars, but let her run away alone?
The more I think about it, the more infuriating it becomes!
Cai Wei thought that since the emperor had told her to "get out", then she could go back to her original residence and continue to squeeze a room with Ma Li. But who knew that she had a breeze on her sleeves, and she just walked to the door of the Chang Palace without anything, but she was still stopped, so she had to continue to go back to her side hall to stay.
When it was time for dinner, the dishes were more elaborate and hearty than usual. It's a pity that Cai Wei didn't have much appetite, so she tried to eat some, but there was still a lot left on the plate.
Cai Wei looked at the dishes that she couldn't eat, and felt a pity in her heart, and suddenly heard a voice behind her: "There are so many left, but are these meals not to Zhou Jun's taste?" โ
Cai Wei didn't deny it, but said: "Who let this meal sent is too much, I can't finish it." โ
"If you haven't had dinner yet, why don't we have dinner again? I haven't touched any of these dishes. โ
After a while, a figure slowly walked in front of Cai Wei.
Cai Wei looked at the Emperor from head to toe, curled her lips and smiled: "Your Majesty still looks better in women's clothes." โ
Xu is wearing women's clothes in front of people for the first time, although she is forced to calm down, Emperor Guangming is still a little at a loss, she pinched the corner of her clothes, bit her lip and said: "Xingzi, don't call me Your Majesty, the one standing in front of you tonight is not the emperor, just a woman called Xingzi." โ
Cai Wei was as kind as a stream, and made a gesture of please, "Please also invite Miss Xingzi to take a seat." โ
Miss Xingzi gathered her clothes and knelt on the cushion opposite Cai Wei, not knowing what to say for a while. She watched Cai Wei put all the dishes she hadn't touched in front of her, dish after plate, and her face gradually became gloomy again.
"Isn't our Fuso food really delicious? Why is there so many dishes, Zhou Jun doesn't even want to taste them? โ
Cai Wei nodded without thinking about it: "The so-called food in your country is indeed not very delicious. โ
She has long been dissatisfied with the cuisine of Fusang Kingdom, she really doesn't understand, why did the Fusang people come to their Great Qin Kingdom to learn from the East and the West, and all the good ones can't be learned in one go, what chess culture and tea culture have been learned โกโก, why can't they learn the food culture of Daqin?
In addition to learning a sashimi, I haven't learned the essence of the diet of the Great Qin Kingdom, and these dishes look really good, but unfortunately they only have one of the five flavors, and they can't taste anything other than sweetness, which is completely unsuitable for her current taste, okay?
Xingzi pursed his lips, "Although Fusang's diet is not to Zhou Jun's taste, what about the other things here, etiquette education, poetry haiku, chess and tea ceremony, even Zhou Jun himself said, it is very similar to your appearance in the Western Qin, is it the kind you like very much?" โ
Cai Wei nodded, "I like it, but I like my homeland even more." โ
Xingzi suddenly became a little excited, "Your homeland? Although it is still called Daqin, it is no longer the Daqin that you returned to in your dreams, since you were destroyed by the Mugultures in the Southern Qin, the real Daqin is gone, gone! โ
"There is no Qin State after the mountain, and the roots of the Great Qin civilization are no longer in that land, but here, in our Fusang!"
