Chapter 3: Beautiful Boys
The queen turned around and raised her hand to stop Concubine De's salute, "Sister, sit down, it's rare to come here." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Concubine De smiled lightly, sat down according to her words, and still held a small folding fan in her hand, fanning the wind constantly, "This day, it's weird, the dog days have passed, and it's still so hot, in the autumn of previous years, it's not as hot as this year." ”
The queen ordered someone to serve tea, and chuckled when she heard the words, "What my sister said is that this year's days are getting more and more different, my sister has double skin milk here, Lu Fushou, bring a bowl to my sister." ”
"Hey, the minion will go." After that, he went out of Fengqi Palace, and ordered people to be on errands along the way, and saw that no one was looking outside the palace, so he turned back to the small kitchen of Fengqi Palace.
Concubine De naturally knew what the queen had in mind, and after the two exchanged pleasantries, she turned to the topic, "Sister, Concubine Ning has found a sister, and she threatens her sister, and she doesn't look at who she is, she has crossed the river and threatened people." Her face was full of disdain.
The queen's eyes moved, she finished speaking, and said with a smile: "She is a mud bodhisattva, but the fourth is not, the fourth is a golden body." ”
"What do you mean, sister?" Concubine De seems to be much smarter than before recently, and when she heard it, she heard the meaning of the queen's words.
In this way, the queen's heart blossomed, and before Lu Fushou came, he instructed Zhiliu to pour tea for her, "It's good that my sister understands, don't spread it, you also have to calm down, say a word of conscience, in this palace, in addition to this palace, it should be your sister and you first, with those who are not careful, how can they cross you?" ”
When it came to Concubine De's heart, she felt that as the biological mother of the eldest prince, in the harem, how could she be above 10,000 people under one person, and she was 10,000 unconvinced by Hao Shumei and Yide.
"Sister, thank you sister for your advice, and thank you sister for looking at it, up and down the palace, sister's heart, just serve your sister."
Zhiliu and Lu Fushou, who had just come in, glanced at each other, the two smiled, Concubine De also looked up to herself too much, what qualifications did she have to disobey the queen?
However, the queen didn't say anything, and the two didn't say anything, and when they saw Lu Fushou coming back, the queen signaled to Concubine De, "Sister, hurry up and relieve the heat." ”
"Thank you, sister." Concubine De smiled and took a sip of double skin milk, talked to the queen for a while, and then walked out of Fengqi Palace.
After getting far away, the smile on Concubine De's face immediately turned cold, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Concubine De sneered, "I want this palace to deal with the fourth child, dreaming, but the fourth water dog, I'm afraid it will bite people." ”
Soon, the prince of the Huns really entered Beijing, and it was the prince who came, the future khan, who showed enough sincerity, and the honor guard walked ten miles, mighty, not at all like the surrounding subject countries, but to the **** Shangguo's style.
Emperor Mingde's illness was intermittent, and the crown prince had not yet rushed back, so the eldest prince was responsible for receiving the princes from the Huns.
In recent years, the Huns have not been idle, and they have developed very well, otherwise they would not have been so arrogant.
The queen mother did not take Qiao, the Hun prince received him on the second day of his arrival in Beijing, and in the face of the queen mother who listened to the government, the Hun prince did not show contempt and dissatisfaction.
For this reason, Xie Yun and Yan Shiren and others were worried, and several people got together to find the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, the eldest prince of the Huns is a character, he is scheming, and he can't see the depth." ”
The Queen Mother listened to Xie Yun's words, and said: "If it was really a character, it wouldn't be like this, the honor guard is ten miles long, and when I saw the mourning family, I was so calm and atmospheric, hum, if it was a character, why do you want to be so spie?" ”
When several important ministers heard this, they felt that it was quite reasonable, but they were still worried, and they were only glad that it was an insignificant woman from the clan who went to kiss.
"Queen Mother, it's better to be careful." Yan Shiren reminded.
The Queen Mother didn't say anything, and instructed Zhang Chu to prepare a state banquet to entertain the Xiongnu prince.
State banquet, Zhao Shu is also going to attend, she has a high status, and she is favored by the Queen Mother, so she naturally follows the Queen Mother, but today is different, Zhang Chu is afraid that she will be too careful, so she specially said, today she is sitting among the county lords, and Princess Chengping is next to the Queen Mother.
It's just that she wasn't with the Queen Mother once, Zhao Shu didn't care, so she prepared the court clothes for the state banquet in the middle of summer, and waited quietly for the day of the state banquet in the house.
The state banquet is a busy matter for the Ministry of Rites, first send people to the princes and envoys of the Xiongnu to talk about etiquette, and they must learn it before they are finished, and then find the Qin Tianjian to see the auspicious day of the zodiac, that is, the food and wine at the state banquet, and they are also very particular.
After this preparation, more than half a month has passed, and on the day of the state banquet, the prince has also returned, and the old lady Peng, who has not come out for a long time, has also returned to Beijing.
The most worthy of cheer is that except for King Jing, all the vassal kings have descended.
This life is different from the previous life, the previous life Emperor Mingde was tough, eager to kill all the vassal kings and descendants, this life of the queen mother left the life of the king of Shu, and the other vassal kings naturally also surrendered.
At the beginning, Huo Baichuan said that today, without the heroes of the Warring States Period, and without the wise princes who guide the world, the Dayong Dynasty cannot become the Zhou royal family.
Now it seems that what he said is really right.
Although the vassal kings have all surrendered, King Yong still did not return to Beijing, he was busy collecting the troops under the vassal king, and the crown prince would not have returned if it were not for a letter from Wei Tingsi.
On the day of the state banquet, Zhao Shu got up early, Sheng Xia and the others were busy, and finally packed her up, put on court clothes, and she entered the palace.
Zhao Shu came earlier than others, when she arrived at Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was washing, and after serving the Queen Mother to wash up and have breakfast, she began to accept the worship of the woman.
In the past, the Queen Mother accepted the worship of the Queen Mother during the New Year's Festival, and Zhao Shu had also seen it, but this time she was a little surprised, because these women were obviously afraid of the Queen Mother.
Some are old-fashioned, and even a little dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother understands that the clanwives of these big families are afraid that they think that she is a woman who interferes in politics and is a chicken.
It's ridiculous to say that it's often women who embarrass women.
There are too many women, and the queen mother needs to meet those who have a very high status, and if the status is not enough, the queen will meet them.
Since ancient times, the etiquette used to entertain foreign vassal countries has been debated, since the death of Zhou, since the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Zhou etiquette does not exist, and later the imperial court has no perfect etiquette for entertaining foreign envoys.
The same is true of Dayong.
Entered the palace early, in fact, when the state banquet began, it was already afternoon, the bell rang, and everyone met Emperor Mingde and the Queen Mother in the Taihe Palace.
Bow to the queen mother and the emperor and queen in the Taihe Palace, and then go to the Ganlu Hall to have a banquet, and there are dancing queens and musicians touching the piano.
Dayong does not have the reason for the concubines to scratch their heads and pose to dance to foreign envoys, so naturally if it is necessary to say that it is to dance for the emperor, it is not advocated, but it is not said that it has not been, but in this way, it will be compared with the singer.
Thanks to Zhao Shu's good health, she didn't pant after a day of work, and the other county lords had white faces.
When I arrived at the Ganlu Palace, I had to salute before I sat down, this time I didn't have to toss anymore, I could eat and drink after I sat down, Zhao Shu's position was in the front, she also wanted to be faced, unlike a few people sitting in the corner, the position was good, and others would not pay attention to eating one or two pieces of dim sum.
As a highly respected new miracle doctor, the signboard of Tai Hospital, Old Doctor Peng has a very high status, sitting next to Xie Yun and others, as soon as he comes back, Emperor Mingde will see him.
Doctor Peng swore that he really didn't prescribe any miracle medicine, it was the emperor who saw him with a steady heart and a happy face, so he got better quickly, and he got heart disease.
The prince has lost a lot of weight, but he has also matured a lot, calm and atmospheric, at the head of the princes, like the ding of the town, restrained but impossible to ignore.
He had just arrived, and he hadn't had time to see Zhao Shu yet, but when he saw him in the hall at this time, he signaled from afar.
Zhao Shu also smiled sweetly at her, it's good, the prince is still alive in this life, and the more alive the better, the queen mother is still there, and Emperor Mingde has not died, as long as these people are not dead, those small people will not want to move a penny of mediocrity.
Glancing at the people in the hall, those annoying people in the previous life, some came, some didn't, but no one has the same scenery as the previous life.
She remembered that Lin Xiuxue was unrivaled in Beijing at the beginning, but now there is no her at this state banquet.
She said five years ago that she would not kill them so quickly, she must let them lose their ambition for a lifetime, and pass by their achievements for a lifetime, watching her stand at the top and look down on them, so that they will no longer have the face to regard themselves as opponents.
Because, not a grade.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the master of ceremonies and eunuchs shouting, "The eldest prince of the Huns, Tulev, has come to see you." ”
"Xuan." Emperor Mingde said happily.
Everyone's eyes fell on the gate, and Zhao Shu was no exception, and after a while, he saw a man from the wind of a jade tree walking in from the gate.
This man has a peerless face, that seductive face, people can't open their eyes, Hao Shumei is already beautiful enough, although Yide was not allowed to participate in today's state banquet, but everyone remembers her beauty.
However, these two women don't seem to be able to suppress the beautiful men who walk in, that is, several of the civil officials who are known as great writers, and they all feel that they are running out of words and can't find words to describe the beauty of men.
Even Emperor Mingde was stunned, he was a man with two peerless beauties, and to say something unpleasant, some men's hearts were beating faster.
Not to mention women, except for Zhao Shu and several who were calm, almost all the women's eyes were straight, and the girl with Sichun was blushing at this time.
Zhao Shu looked coldly at the eyes of everyone in front of her, and then looked at the beautiful man, and found that he applied fat powder, painted his eyebrows and eyes, and looked naturally better than the five big and three thick men, plus the foundation was good, and with a little modification, he threw off the idle man for eighteen streets.
"Who are you?" The Queen Mother's cold voice called everyone's thoughts back, and when they realized the gaffe, everyone lowered their heads.
What a shame! I'm a big country, it's like I've never seen the world, it's really humiliating!
Zhao Shu can't wait to find a beautiful man to compare this person, beautiful man?
She immediately thought of Chu Yang and Zhao Bi in the early years, these two people are no worse than this man, if they dress up well, they have their own characteristics.
"Hahahaha, Empress Dowager Dayong, this man's name is Duolita, and he is the most beautiful man in the world." The Xiongnu prince strode in, with a smug look on his face, compared with when the Queen Mother received him, it was like two people.
Seeing his arrogant appearance, Yan Shiren and Xie Yun and the others were much more relieved, they were not afraid of the enemy's arrogance, they were afraid that the enemy would be silent.
"The first beautiful man? The prince is exaggerating. Yan Shiren stood up and said, "This Dolita is like a woman who has applied fat powder, painted her eyebrows and eyes, and pretended to be pretending, which is really eye-catching, but this boy and girl are inevitably feminine and lose the sunshine of a man." ”
Which Hun prince Tulev had a cold face, "Lord Yan, if you don't admit that Duolita is the first beautiful man, you can do it, as long as you can find a man who is more beautiful than him, if you can't find it, then ask Emperor Dayong to abdicate!" ”
As soon as he changed his words, he was full of civil and military affairs, men and women, all of them were discolored, and the heart of appreciating beautiful men disappeared at once.
In front of the country, there were no beautiful men, and everyone looked at Tulev coldly.
Tulev looked at Emperor Mingde arrogantly, Emperor Mingde was not angry, he had been the emperor for all these years, how could he not know that the other party was provoking, tying the country to a man, it was ridiculous, if he was angry, he lost the prestige of a great country.
The other ministers also thought the same, Xie Yun was the first to laugh, but he didn't laugh too much, it was really funny, he couldn't help laughing, but he shouldn't laugh, so he almost hurt himself.
"The emperor forgives the sins." Xie Yun stood up and saluted, "The barbarian etiquette is not clear, and the people of Jiangshan Society and Li are regarded as child's play, this is a child's style, the emperor please forgive Prince Tulev for the crime of ignorance." ”
"Please forgive Prince Tulev for his ignorance!" Everyone stood up and shouted.
Tulev was furious, his face was pale, "Emperor Dayong, you look down on me Huns!" ”
Emperor Mingde looked at Tulev with a smile and waved his hand, "I am the Son of Heaven, I will not look down on anyone, the prince misunderstood." ”
Zhao Shu almost laughed, Emperor Mingde was actually very damaged sometimes.
Tulev was even more unhappy, and he said loudly: "Emperor Dayong, if you can't find a more beautiful man than Dolita, you will abdicate, if not, this prince will immediately return to the steppe and throw off the army to level your territory!" ”
Such a bold and unashamed, presumptuous and rude, if it is still a joke, it will lose the prestige of the country, Emperor Mingde grimaced, "I have a vast territory, a wide territory, the people of Dayong are also humble and polite, and they are also friendly and caring for foreign subjects, but since the prince is to compare, how can I not allow it?" However, national events are not child's play, if I find a man who is more beautiful than this man, from this year, the Huns will increase tenfold, how about it? ”
The Xiongnu also paid tribute to Dayong every year, and called him a minister every year, but many times he sent envoys to come, and people from the royal family rarely came to the court.
Tulev was very confident in the beautiful men under him, and nodded very happily, "Okay, if Emperor Dayong can't find it, then my Xiongnu will no longer be a subject of Dayong from now on!" ”
"Okay." Emperor Mingde showed the demeanor of a great country, so that people could not find the slightest mistake. (To be continued.) )
