Chapter 315: Ye Xi resigns and returns to Beijing

Shi Situ is actually talented in dancing. The dance she danced just now, although it tends to be atmospheric, is still interpreted from a woman's perspective after all, and there are still some differences from that real masculinity. But Shi Situ can draw inferences from others and find his own style from them. Although it is still a little restrained and not open enough, the idea is already very clear.

It would be nothing if Shi Situ just drew a gourd and learned it according to her movements, but in a short period of time, she was able to make some changes to her dance, which made it more manly and appreciative, but it was not easy.

"Miss, Shi Gongzi is still talented in dancing." Moji watched Shi Situ groping on the drum, and had gradually formed a set of his own style. Especially since she didn't use the pipa to accompany him at the moment, she was dancing by herself to the rhythm of the drums, which was much more difficult.

"That's true. His body is softer than that of ordinary men, and although he has taken a detour in the past, he has learned some after all, and several years of practice are not useless. Fang Xiaoyu admitted that at least in the past, when he only knew how to twist and imitate ordinary dancing girls, although the path was deviated, after all, his body had been polished, which made him really dance, and he had the strength of both rigidity and softness more than other men.

"It's just ......" Although the ink mark praised Shi Situ, he couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth in the end and said, "Miss, Shi Gongzi wrote this word...... It's too ugly......"

Just before getting off the pile, Fang Xiaoyu deliberately turned over the four-sided vertical drum, and turned the other drum surface without writing to the horizontal drum.

Shi Situ improved the movements of Fang Xiaoyu's dance just now. Make it more suitable for him to dance by himself, while learning Fang Xiaoyu to throw up the chain and write on the drum.

at his level. It's a little difficult to write a poem or something, after all, it's a brush tied to a chain, and it takes a certain amount of skill to write those small characters. He will practice these slowly after he goes back, and today is to try, so he tried to write the four big words 'God Bless Dacheng' on the drum surface to see the effect.

But. I have to say that the effect of this is really a little laughable.

Crookedly not to say, in the words 'God bless Dacheng'. In addition to the two characters 'Tian' and 'Da' with simple strokes, which can still be barely recognized, the characters 'You' and 'Cheng' have completely become abstract masterpieces, and even if the civil officials who brought in Quan Dacheng, they may not be able to recognize what they wrote.

Frankly. Although Shi Situ was not a little serious in the past. But after all, it is equivalent to a famous background, General Shi is not a military general, but the cursive script of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing in one hand is famous in the capital. Shi Situ has been taught by General Shi to practice martial arts since he was a child, although he can't compare to his eldest brother in martial arts, and he can't compare to his second brother in reading, but the rules and regulations are still written, although there are no big characteristics, but they are also beautiful.

But alas. At this time, he was standing on a big drum and dancing. Throwing the chains. The strength and skill used to write in this way are fundamentally different from writing on a desk.

His martial arts skills were mediocre, and writing with heavy chains was a big challenge for him. It's good to be able to write like this for the first time, after all, aren't there at least two words that you can understand?

Fang Xiaoyu helped his forehead, he didn't know what words to use to describe Shi Situ's handwriting like a crab, and finally sighed, waved his hand and said, "He still has days to practice." Ink marks, there are still a few months before the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, these days, you and Sizhu take turns to watch him practice, be sure to ask him to at least give me the four words 'God Bless Dacheng' before the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony comes. I don't have that time to spend with him. ”

"Yes, miss, the slave will take a good look at Shi Gongzi, and he must be asked to practice this character well before the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky." As he spoke, a dark smile appeared on Moji's beautiful face.

Shi Situ was dancing, but suddenly felt a cold behind him, and subconsciously turned around to look at Fang Xiaoyu, but saw Fang Xiaoyu and the ink marks standing there creepily looking at him, Shi Situ suddenly had a bad premonition.

Shi Situ was chilled by Fang Xiaoyu and Mo Marks, and even the movements he was dancing made mistakes several times. He is really confident in Fang Xiaoyu, he believes very much that Fang Xiaoyu is a person who has the ability to change flowers and toss him.

The flawed dance eventually stopped with a shout.

Sizhu gasped, pushed the door open, and ran directly to Fang Xiaoyu in a flying attitude, his face was full of joy, and said, "Miss, it's a good thing, a great thing." ”

"What made you look like this?" Fang Xiaoyu rarely saw Sizhu so excited, although she was much more lively than Mo Ji, but there were rarely times when she was so out of shape.

"The young lady must be happier than the slave after hearing this." Sizhu suddenly smiled and pointed in the direction outside: "Miss, the prince is back." ”

"What?" Fang Xiaoyu thought she had misheard.

"Miss listened well, the son of the world is back." Sizhu looked at her young lady with a smile on her face, and her happiness was written on her face.

She knew that Miss must miss her uncle. Don't look at the young lady who doesn't care on weekdays, but occasionally looking at the jewelry given to her by her uncle, she will still be in a daze.

"You said the prince is back?" Fang Xiaoyu was a little stunned.

Ye Xici came back so soon? How long has it been out? The war on Beiyan's side could not be fought so quickly.

This invasion of the quicksand country must have been planned for a long time, otherwise a small country with a total population of only 700,000 would dare to confront a big country like Dacheng? There must be a shadow of the Great Zhou in this.

Da Zhou used this to threaten Da Cheng and his relatives. How long has it been since the emperor refused? The war in the northwest has not started, and Beiyan is finished?

Fang Xiaoyu didn't know why she had some ominous premonitions in her heart, so she asked, "My father is also back?" ”

Sizhu shook his head and said, "The general doesn't seem to have returned to Beijing. The news from Beiyan's side is really a bit chaotic, even the news from our people is the same every day, and the battle situation is ever-changing, but our side seems to be at a disadvantage. has been pressed and beaten by the quicksand country, even if the general and the prince go to Beiyan, it will be difficult to start for a while. The return of the prince to Beijing. The slave maid did not receive the news, but she was at the gate of the city, and the slave maid saw the prince return to Beijing with her own eyes. ”

"What did you see with your own eyes?" Fang Xiaoyu frowned, always feeling that something would happen when Ye Xici returned to Beijing this time.

The slave saw it with her own eyes, and spoke to the prince. Shizi was injured a little, but it was not a big deal, but it seemed that something went wrong with Beiyan. The general sent the prince back to Beijing to report to the emperor. The prince said that he would return to the palace after entering the palace. Sizhu's face was also a little more worried.

She is happy that Shizi can come back safely. Although he was injured, he was fortunate to be alive. After all, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and it is impossible to lose his life at any time. But Miss Fang Cai's expression was full of worry, and she couldn't help but worry.

"Sizhu, prepare the horse. I'm going to the palace. Fang Xiaoyu finally decided to go to the palace.

Ye Xi resigned, she was happy. But her father still stayed in Beiyan. Ye Xici came back so soon, there must be something that required him to come back as soon as possible to report to the emperor. What could have been done with a letter had to be done by Ye Xi to hurry up and return to Beijing, which was a trivial matter. She needed to hear it for herself.

"Miss, the slave will go right away." Sitake immediately left the preparation horse.

"Moji, you are here to watch Shi Gongzi practice martial arts, and before I come back, send someone to ask what strange things happened to Beiyanke." Fang Xiaoyu commanded.

"Miss, don't worry, the slave will go and check." Moji's face also stiffened a little.

Fang Xiaoyu hurried to the palace. The guards at the palace gate recognized her, and even more so the waist card on her body that could enter the palace at any time. So he didn't even ask, and let him go.

All the way to the outside of the imperial study, Su Wanfu and Father-in-law Xia were guarding outside the door, and their faces were mostly worried.

Seeing Fang's smile coming, Su Wanfu immediately cheered up and greeted him, and the smile on his face was a little reluctant: "Princess, you have finally arrived." ”

Fang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Grandpa Su knows that I am coming?" ”

Su Wanfu pulled Fang Xiaoyu aside and whispered: "After the prince entered the palace, the emperor sent someone to King An's mansion to invite the prince and the princess into the palace. It's just that the princess is not in the house, and she doesn't know where she went for a while, so it's delayed. The emperor sent the old slave to wait here, and if the princess entered the palace, the old slave would take the princess to see the emperor. ”

Fang Xiaoyu's face was a little gloomy. She can now be sure that what Ye Xici has brought back is probably not good news. Otherwise, after asking the question, I will put it back directly, and there is no need to call her to enter the palace with Prince An.

"Father-in-law Su, can the emperor and the West Ci be inside?" Fang Xiaoyu pointed to the seat in the imperial study and asked.

Su Wanfu shook his head and said, "The princess, the emperor and the prince are facing up. The ministers have also arrived. The emperor has an order, if the princess arrives, the old slave will lead the princess to the pilgrimage. ”

"On the plane?" Fang Xiaoyu took a deep breath. This incident also alarmed the courtiers? It doesn't seem to be a trivial matter. But why did you call her to an audience?

As for the matter of war, this is already the domain of state affairs. Since ancient times, women were not allowed to participate in politics, why did the emperor repeatedly let her participate in some state affairs?

What kind of medicine is sold in the emperor's gourd?

"Please also ask Grandpa Su to lead the way." Fang Xiaoyu knew that Su Wanfu's knowledge was also limited. If it's really a big deal, there's no need to talk to a chief eunuch about it. What's more, the matter has alarmed many ministers, and I am afraid that it will take a lot of twists and turns.

She only hoped that this matter didn't have much to do with her father, otherwise......

"The princess, please come with the old slave." Su Wanfu didn't reveal anything, just led the way in front.

"The princess, please wait, the slave and maid will go to report to the emperor." Su Wanfu and Fang Xiaoyu stopped in front of the court.

"Grandpa Su, go." Fang Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, and then waited quietly outside.

It didn't take long for Su Wanfu to come out and say that the emperor had summoned him, Fang Xiaoyu took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and stepped into the court.

Her arrival made the eyes of the courtiers all focused on her.

These ministers in the court looked at her with very complicated eyes. Some were worried, some sneered, and even more like Shang Jingwei, who directly had a gloating look, which made Fang Xiaoyu feel irritable.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair with a majestic expression. Ye Xici stood under the hall covered in blood, and when he saw her coming, he first glanced at him, and then smiled bitterly. Fang Xiaoyu's heart sank a little again.

"The courtiers greet the emperor." Fang Xiaoyu stood quietly under the hall and did not communicate much with Ye Xici. She still doesn't know what the situation is, so it's better to talk less and figure things out before speaking.

King An glanced at Fang Xiaoyu with a worried face, as if he wanted to speak a little, but after looking at the serious emperor on the dragon chair, he still held back his words and stood there silent.

"Laughing girl, get up." The emperor's tone was quite peaceful. Fang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty." Fang Xiaoyu stood up, and glanced at Ye Xici out of the corner of her eye, but saw that Ye Xici had been looking at her all the time.

"Laughing girl, do you know why I called you here?" The Emperor's tone was a little inscrutable.

"The courtiers don't know." Fang Xiaoyu shook his head. She really didn't know. is the matter of entering the palace, and that is also because Sizhu saw Ye Xiqi come back at the city gate.

She entered the palace directly from the Drunken Immortal Tower, and she didn't go back to King An's Mansion at all, so it wasn't until just now that she learned from Su Wanfu that the emperor had sent someone to King An's Mansion to summon her into the palace.

The emperor sighed suddenly, and then said with a heavy face: "Xi Ci has just returned to the palace and brought a message from Fang Aiqing, saying that the war in Beiyan is tight and has lost nearly 300,000 troops. The grain and grass have been delayed, and there is a drought, and the army of the quicksand country is pressing the border, and the more they fight, the more courageous they become, and they are already in danger of running out of food. Fang Aiqing wanted to make a desperate gamble and ambush the opponent's general, but this matter was very dangerous, and his subordinate soldiers could not stop him, but Fang Aiqing insisted on not listening, and led 50,000 soldiers to disappear. ”

"Missing?" Fang Xiaoyu's little face wrinkled together.

What does it mean to be missing? is a good living person, can he still evaporate from the world? What's more, he still has 50,000 soldiers.

"It's just nowhere to be found. Fang Aiqing originally intended to lead the army to ambush the other party's general, but the fact was that the other party's general had already approached the city, but Fang Aiqing never appeared again, nor did he return to the city, completely losing contact. The emperor looked at Fang Xiaoyu's expression, wanting to see something from it.

"With 50,000 soldiers?" Fang Xiaoyu asked.

"Together with 50,000 soldiers." The emperor nodded and said, "The reason why the west resigned and returned to Beijing was for this matter." The disappearance of 50,000 soldiers in Beiyan made the war more and more tense. The prince sat in Beiyan, which made the army's morale not slacken. In fact, I also received a hundred miles of urgency, and someone has written to accuse Fang Aiqing, saying that he was stubborn and even derelict in his duties, resulting in the burning of grain and grass. It is said that his loss of trace this time was caused by evading responsibility. (To be continued.) )
