Chapter Seventy-Six: The Chrysanthemum Garden Fights for the Wind (1)
"Yo! Who should I be, such a grievance for a person who doesn't know how to be polite, it turns out to be sisters of the same clan! No wonder they are so accustomed to using weak tricks to deceive others. ”
The maiden who spoke first turned her head to the person who spoke for Li Yao.
"Yes! Our Imperial Daughter Li is also surnamed Li, I originally thought it was a coincidence, and I didn't want to be the same clan. No wonder the face and tone are quite similar to our pepper room. ”
The concubines below whispered and talked in whispers.
Qingcao looked at those people a little helplessly, a good chrysanthemum feast, it has become a gathering place for long-tongued women, and the nobles who love purity by nature should be annoyed. Thinking of this, he raised his eyes to look at Feng Luoli, who had a calm face, and a trace of impatience flashed in his clear water-like eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the weather is dry and irritable, why don't you drink some chrysanthemum tea picked by the nobles to reduce the fire!" Qingcao cleared his throat and said, "The autumn chrysanthemums in the yard are all rare varieties, and the little masters are all talented, I think our nobles are blessed with ears!" Besides, when the emperor arrives in a moment and a half, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to evaluate the talents of the little masters?! ”
With Qingcao's words, all the concubines quieted down, not for anything else but for the emperor to come. The things that were originally uncertain must have not run away at this time. Everyone knows in their hearts that the emperor will never wait to see people who talk about right and wrong behind his back.
Yi Ling smiled slightly, "Let the noble sister see the smile, we are just talking about it casually." Moreover, the people who also serve His Majesty are all sisters of the same family, so where is there really a suspicion? However, when the teeth often knock on the lips, please don't be surprised. ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! Don't blame the noble sister! ”
There was a chorus of echo below.
"It's okay! Today's weather is still good, and Qiu Ju is also in full bloom, why don't you sisters write a poem on the theme of this Qiu Ju? Feng Luoli smiled indifferently, and passed by the matter of the other party's talent.
As soon as the words fell, some palace people sent pen, ink, paper and inkstones to the concubines.
"The chrysanthemums in our Thousand Chrysanthemum Garden have their own merits, and all the little masters can take a tour first, and they will not fail to live up to the fragrance of this garden." Qingcao looked at Feng Luoli, who was drinking tea with his head down, and took the words and added.
"In this way, the concubine will be respectful and obedient!"
The concubines said goodbye to each other and went to enjoy the chrysanthemums. Because most of the concubines selected are women from families, and some are still daughters of national clans, the poems are unbearable, and finally there is such an opportunity to show in front of the emperor, so naturally they will not let it go.
"Noble, eat a few Ejiao candied fruits!"
Seeing that the concubines were scattered one by one, Qingcao stretched out her hand and took the candied fruit of various colors of fruits sent by the emperor a few days ago and put it in front of Feng Luoli. In the past, dealing with these concubines was limited to visits in the palace, but today's commotion, Feng Luoli likes quiet people so much, I'm afraid I can't stand it.
Feng Luoli turned his head and smiled at Qing Cao, if it weren't for Qing Cao beside him, he really didn't know how long he would have to make a fuss, he reached out and took a date candied fruit and put it in his mouth, and his eyes touched two other concubines who looked beautiful, had clear eyes, and looked slightly embarrassed.
Seeing this, Qing Cao wanted to step forward and ask, but he didn't want Feng Luoli to wave his hand, and said softly: "It's rare that there are two younger sisters who are willing to accompany the palace to blow the cold wind here." Calyx, let's give some food to my two sisters! ”
When the two of them heard this, they were taken aback, and when they looked up, their eyes flashed with uncertainty, and they quickly got up and bowed down, and one was wearing a light pink half-sleeved shirt and skirt, looking at the older ones, and said: "The noble man forgives the sin, it is not that the concubine does not obey the order to write poems, but that the concubine has no ink on her chest, and she really does not dare to make an axe and pollute the nobles and His Majesty's Yaxing." ”
"It's okay! Dancing and writing is not what women like me are good at, so I won't! Do those two sisters have a liking? ”
The two concubines looked at each other, and then Zhen said: "Sister Fuqu's Yueqin is the most graceful, sister, I can only play a few songs, Changxiao occasionally closes with Sister Fuqu, and there is nothing else." ”
"So good? I wonder if the two younger sisters are willing to close a song for the main palace? ”
"The concubine obeys!"
After the palace people brought the musical instruments, the two of them gave Feng Luoli a slight salute, and then sat down and played together.
The timbre of the Yueqin is crisp and soft, the sound of the flute is melodious, and the ancient style "Shang Evil" is played by the other two of them, which is as long as the mountain breeze blowing through the stream. It doesn't sound like a poignant vow, but more like a pair of lovers who love each other.
"Good, good! I can't imagine that there is still such a good news in the palace! ”
Let's play it! The sound of Tuoba Jun clapping his hands came from behind him, and the two of them were startled, and quickly turned around and bowed.
"Your Majesty!" Feng Luoli watched Tuoba Jun get up and salute, and his eyes touched Li Yao, who was dressed in a moonlight, wide-sleeved, collared, slender skirt, and elegant dress beside Tuoba Jun, and his expression moved slightly.
"Concubines see nobles!"
Li Yao saluted Feng Luolifu.
"No need to be polite! Get up! ”
Tuoba Jun left Li Yao beside him, quickly stepped forward and reached out to hold Feng Luoli's slightly cold hand, and said distressedly: "Why don't you know that stove to warm your hands when it's cold!" Hands are still so cold. ”
Feng Luoli shook his head and smiled, "It's okay!" Your Majesty is worried! Unconsciously looked at Li Yao, who was bright and beautiful, "I don't want Your Majesty to come with Li Jiaofang." ”
There was an imperceptible sourness between the words.
Tuoba Jun stretched out his hand to sort out the windblown emanation of Feng Luoli's ears, helped her sit down on the soft chair, and said in a low voice: "Isn't Li'er jealous?" ”
Feng Luoli was silent, and his expression didn't change much, "What is Your Majesty doing, where is my turn to be jealous?!" ”
"Alright, alright! I'll talk to you in detail when I go back, okay?! Tuoba Jun stretched out his hand and grabbed Feng Luoli's shoulder, and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, holding Feng Luoli's hand a little tighter.
Then he looked at the two people who were playing, "You are the two of you playing?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it was the concubine who played it!"
Tuoba Jun nodded, looked at the age and asked, "You are the granddaughter of Princess Wuwei - Fuqu Xiana?" ”
"Exactly!"
Xia Na put down the Yueqin in her hand and replied. Since her grandfather was executed, no one has ever mentioned her grandmother, Princess Wuwei, and she didn't expect that the person mentioned at this moment was the current emperor.
Tuoba Jun nodded, "Is Princess Wuwei good?" ”
"Last winter, I suffered a vicious illness and died." Xia Na was a little choked, if it weren't for Princess Wuwei's dying letter, she would not have been received into Sikong Lu Li's mansion, and then she was elected to the palace.
Although, listening to my grandmother's words about the sinister palace, it is much better here than those days when you don't have enough to eat.
Tuoba Jun's expression darkened a little and sighed, "You don't need to be too sad, if it weren't for the bad intentions of Fuqu Mujian, why would Princess Wuwei end up like this." That's it! From today onwards, you will be promoted to the pepper room! ”
