Chapter 44: A Night in Chang'an
"Wow~" Rows of fireworks were shot out around the ice rink, and the color of rubies was particularly dazzling in the night sky, gathering in the sky in the middle of the ice rink, and then turning into stars and scattering.
"Yikes!" During the feast, there were three or three delicate children's surprises rising and falling.
The scattered fireworks that should have dissipated seemed to be attached to the body of the woman in the ice rink, flickering and dimming, outlining the beautiful figure of the woman in the field.
At this time, the bamboo basket was secretly hiding in the distance, and when he saw this moment, he was half relieved, and it seemed that he had already succeeded halfway.
"Knock!" The crisp drum beat seems to wake up the sleeping air on the field, the flickering light on Haoyue's body echoes the braziers erected at the four corners of the ice rink, and the orange flames are even more set off with the crystal clear white moonlight on Haoyue's body, like a fairy dancing alone in the cold moon palace, mournful and desolate, but still with a trace of hope.
The sound of cracking silk, like a sharp knife, tore through Haoyue's cold and lonely clothes, revealing her fierce and rushing heart, with a little wildness, with a little determination, like a broken silver bottle, bursting out of a thin liquid slurry, out of control.
All the dance moves in this dance were prepared by Haoyue herself, and Zhu Zhen didn't give any advice, and she didn't even watch her dance a complete one. Looking at Haoyue's figure flying on the ice and the fluorescent ribbons around her body that are entwined and dancing, and the colorful rotating light balls on the sidelines create a dynamic atmosphere for the entire ice rink, Zhu Zhen returned to the modern concert scene in a trance, although it was much simpler, but she seemed to feel that the distance between herself and the modern era was closer.
When the streamer flew into the air with the force on Haoyue's arm, drawing a brilliant wavy line in the inky night sky, the real dance had just begun.
Haoyue, who had lost her colorful clothes, was dressed in plain clothes, and she looked weak and weak in the thin air of Layue, doubling the guilty. She whirled, searching, so thin, so helpless. Suddenly, the drums thundered, the horse's hooves sounded, the horns neighed, and the banners stood up, and the tall flags fluttered violently in the wind, making a terrible sound, and gathered around the ice rink, pressing closer and closer to Haoyue, and pressing closer, and closer, as if a little more advance would crush her. The two armies fought, and no one had time to take care of a embarrassed and humble woman, she was in a hurry, she was frightened, she fell on the ice in a panic, and the next second, just when she thought she was going to die under the iron hoof, a black shadow flashed, and the whip wrapped her around her waist, and led her away from the front of this chaotic battle. Far away from the drums and horns, dimmed the sword light and sword shadow, everything just now seemed like a terrible dream, but the resolute back of the distance silently confirmed everything that happened.
On the opposite bank of the banquet, Zhu Zhen had already arranged a group of instrumental music, and another group of female harmonies, with cold tunes and distant singing voices floating from the shore into the distance. Turning to leave, Zhu Zhen didn't look at the field again.
"Life is like this, floating like a ......" while walking back, the bamboo basket inadvertently hummed softly, and the green and white figure seemed to appear in front of him.
"Hello bamboo girl." A palace person who retired passed by the bamboo basket and said hello to the bamboo basket. Zhu Zhen responded casually, caught a glimpse of the red clothes in the hands of the palace people, and said, "The one that Miss Haoyue just had?" ”
"If you go back to the girl, it is exactly, the slave is planning to take it back." Seeing the bamboo basket asking, the palace man stood and said.
"Give it to me, I'll take it back later." Seeing that the bamboo basket had already reached out, the palace man seemed to hesitate and handed it over.
"Go ahead." The people of the palace left in response.
Unconsciously, he had walked far away, and there were few people here, and somehow, when he saw that touch of red, the ghost stopped his clothes by mistake. With a shake of his hand, Zhu Zhen put Haoyue's bright red dress on his body, and he didn't even tie the belt.
"It turns out that the purple and red are all over the place, and they are all paid with broken wells and decaying walls, and the beautiful scenery of the good day is no day, and they will enjoy their homes. Flying in the morning and twilight, clouds and clouds, rain and wind, smoke and waves painting boats, Jinping people look at this Shaoguang cheap. ”
I don't like Kunqu Opera very much, at that time I always felt that it was a human nature, so it would only be this classic joke, I never thought about it, but there is such a situation today, it is really too old? Stroked the sleeves of his shirt, the bamboo basket silently hooked the corners of his mouth, and then took off his clothes.
Back in the courtyard where the clothes were changed, Zhu Ji thought about going back to the house where Haoyue changed clothes and put the clothes away, but he felt that there seemed to be some commotion in the yard. went back to the house to call the Korean palace maid beside Haoyue to question, and learned that when Haoyue went to Kangxi to receive the reward, he actually asked for marriage in front of the prince's minister and the Korean mission.
The Korean palace maid seemed to be in a hurry, for fear that Haoyue would be guilty of Kangxi, and she wanted to stop talking, thinking that she hoped that Zhuyue would help Haoyue plead for mercy. Zhu Zhen didn't respond to her, Haoyue should have expected the worst outcome from the moment she decided to take this step, if it's okay, it's okay anyway, if there's something, it's a thousand mouths to help say that there will always be something.
It seems that Kangxi is in a good mood today, so he immediately pointed out the marriage, and for a while, Qibeile, the most unknown among the princes, became the focus of the most attention. If you talk about it, Zhu Zhen is still a little puzzled, before gossiping with Sibeile to his brothers, when it comes to Qibeile, Sibeile said, Qibeile is extremely stubborn, Kangxi and he is sick, and he is extremely tolerant of this son, and he also thinks of some Qibeile in everything, this time Kangxi didn't even say hello, and directly stuffed a foreign daughter-in-law to him, this Qibeile, even responded without saying a word?
The holy decree came down three days later, and Zhu Zheng was transferred back to the imperial front by an edict on the night of the banquet, and she didn't even have time to say goodbye to Haoyue and Xiaoci, so she only asked Haoyue's side of the North Korean palace maid to bring a message to Haoyue, saying that she was waiting for her thank you matchmaker.
"Where did you go tonight? I didn't see your shadow either. In front of the desk, Kangxi was practicing calligraphy and said casually.
The bamboo basket waited for the pen and ink on the side, and did not stop in his hand, and replied: "The slave and maid are waiting behind, so that the emperor can see the dance of the seven-sided Fujin with colorful clothes and dancing postures, isn't it?" ”
Kangxi snorted, put down his pen and looked at the bamboo basket and said: "The clothes look good, but if you talk about appearance and dancing, in front of you, I'm afraid it's nothing!" ”
Zhu Zhen took a step back, blessed his body and said: "The emperor's false praise can torment the slave maid, the slave and the maid are timid, don't you want the slave and maid to be flattered, sit still, and have trouble sleeping and eating?" ”
"Come on, I haven't seen you for a few days, you're still so smart!" Kangxi pointed to the bamboo basket, got up from the desk, and walked to the octagonal table and sat down.
Zhu Zhen also stepped forward, replaced it with another cup of tea, handed it to Kangxi, and said with a smile: "The slave and maid thank the emperor for his praise." ”
Taking a sip of tea, Kangxi said, "I'm not curious why I transferred you back in advance?" ”
"The emperor has his own plans, and the slaves and maids just listen to the emperor's will and do it, curious about what they are doing?" Seeing Kangxi pouting, Zhu Zhen pretended to be aggrieved and said, "The slave maid is a little palace maid, and her brain is not enough, if you are curious about this and that, isn't the slave and maid embarrassed by herself!" ”
"There are a lot of palace maids beside me, and there are really not many girls like you." Kangxi sighed.
Seeing that Kangxi was sincerely joking with himself today, Zhu Zhen pouted and said: "The emperor summoned the slaves and maids back at night, it turned out that there was less fun, and he had fun with the slaves and maids." ”
Kangxi smiled and said, "I'm tired, let's settle it." ”
"Yes." The bamboo basket was ordered to go down outside the door, and returned to Kangxi's side, and after a while, the palace maid who served to wash and wash the wide clothes came in, and the current grade of the bamboo basket did not need to interfere.
"Lazy girl!" Kangxi looked dissatisfied and rushed to Zhuzhendao.
Hearing this, Zhu Zheng almost laughed out loud, and hurriedly stepped forward to replace the palace maid who was Kangxi's wide clothes. When unbuttoning, Kangxi asked casually: "After the New Year, there are eighteen too, right?" ”
Zhu Ji didn't know why Kangxi suddenly asked about his age, but when he had nothing to chat, he took off his belt and handed it to the palace maid on the side, looked up and smiled at Kangxi, and said, "If you go back to the emperor, after the New Year, it will be eighteen." ”
"It's eighteen, eighteen ......" Kangxi raised his head and muttered, "If you don't pay attention, I have left you for a long time, and I almost delayed you." ”
Zhu Zhen's heart tightened, and he didn't know if Kangxi suddenly remembered it, or if he was really thinking about it, and he still smiled on his face: "Slaves and maids like to serve the emperor, how can you say delay?" Besides, the slave and maid have only been transferred for a few days, and as soon as they get started, will the emperor take the slave and maid away? ”
"Big girl, it's time to plan for yourself." Kangxi nodded the forehead of the bamboo basket and said.
"The slave maid is a palace maid, she didn't leave the palace until she was twenty-five years old, and there are still seven or eight years to go, what do the slave maid plan to do so early?" Handing over the mouthwash, Zhu Zhen smiled.
"This is easy to do, you have been by my side for so long, I have shown you good family affairs, and even the dowry I have bought for you, and then you will get married!" Applying an overheated towel, Kangxi's face glowed red.
"Your Majesty." Zhu Zhen took Kangxi's towel and pouted at Kangxi.
Seeing this, Kangxi smiled: "Not happy? I have a lot of talents, but you don't even fancy any of them? ”
"Your Majesty, look at what you said, no matter how many talents there are around you, they are also above the court, and the slaves and maids serve in the harem, where can you see them!" This Kangxi, isn't this teasing her!
"In the harem? The young man walking around in the harem is the most outstanding talent in our Qing Dynasty. Kangxi seemed to say something inadvertently, so that Zhu Zhen completely understood that he was going to send himself to his own son's house!
finally made Kangxi temporarily dispel this idea, and after serving Kangxi to lie down, he returned to his house. Sitting down and thinking about it carefully, Zhu Zhen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't feel anything, but now that he thinks about it, if Kangxi insists and points himself out on the spot, isn't this the end of the game?
shuddered, Zhu Zhen felt that sometimes, it was still necessary to "cherish life and stay away from Kangxi......
