What does this mean? Just when Zhong Ziyuan was surprised, a maid hurriedly walked up to the two of them, curtled her knees, and said, "General Guo, the banquet in the palace is about to start, and Lord Akzhen has been waiting in the hall for a long time. ”

"Hmm!" Guo Chengsi bowed slightly, and said indifferently: "Please wait a little longer, I will come out as soon as Miss Zhong and I change our clothes." ”

"Yes."

Zhong Ziyuan stared at the maid who retreated, and her heart moved. With questions, she turned her head to look at him and said, "Could it be that you are afraid that the maids in this post station will treat me slowly because they are afraid of the power of the county lord of Akzhen?" ”

Guo Chengsi shrugged his shoulders and said, "These maids were originally Han people who were bought temporarily, they have lived in Beijing for a long time, and they have a natural fear of the Khitans. When you stand with Akzhen, they naturally favor her. You were sick a few days ago, and I neglected to teach them, so I let Akzhen come and go at the post station. ”

He took her hand and put it to his lips and kissed it gently, and continued, "I told them before bathing, and if Akzhen wants to come in in the future, he must report it in advance. But it's hard to work Aster, you accompany me to meet her! When Zhong Ziyuan heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise

Today's palace is very lively, but this kind of excitement is different from the past, faint, and mixed with the caution after the bloody rain. The guests who come and go are full of smiles, and the smile is also full of care and inquiry.

Colorful lanterns are hung in every corner of the palace, luxurious felt cloth is spread all over the hall, and countless beautiful maids are busy shuttling in the palace.

Jeroder was dressed in a gold thread dress on a black background. Sitting on the top and looking around, he looked very excited. There were also a few old Khitan men with white hair and beards beside him, who had been looking at him with kind eyes.

From time to time, Yelu'er asked, "Third uncle." Hasn't General Guo come yet? And the prince of Shu, Sister Zhong, didn't come either? ”

When one of the old Khitan men heard this, he coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Khan don't worry, listen to the report of the people, General Guo and they have already left the post station." It's almost time to get to the palace. ”

"That's good, that's good." Yelu Tu'er patted her chest and smiled mischievously: "If Yue'er sees Sister Zhong." Will definitely be happy. By the way, what about Yue'er? Why didn't Yue'er come out? It's been so long, haven't you dressed up yet? ”

The old Khitan man coughed lightly, and there was a trace of embarrassment on his face. After a moment's hesitation. He finally said, "Khan. It was I who explained to Mrs. Yue and asked her not to show up for the time being. ”

Yelu Tuo'er was stunned for a moment, and then said dissatisfiedly: "Mrs. Yue, I promised her that I would make her the Great Clan." ”

The old Khitan man hurriedly said: "Please be cautious, even if you don't marry Sheng Jing or the Xiao family, with the unbearable background of Mrs. Yue, she is definitely not a candidate for the Khan clan." Qiang tonight. Hui, Jurchen and other big tribes will send people to congratulate. The Khan can reveal to them the meaning of marriage"

Jeruth rolled his eyes as he listened. Finally, he couldn't help but interrupt the old man's painstaking advice, and said extremely dissatisfied: "Third uncle, now that I am a khan, it is up to me to decide who to marry to be the great clan!" ”

Yelu'er's rebellion made the old man tear off two beards in sorrow, and at this time, another middle-aged man persuaded: "Third brother, the khan himself has his own attention, so you can say a few words!" ”

When Yelu Tuo'er heard someone agreeing with her words, her eyes lit up, and she said angrily: "It's still Uncle Seventeen who loves his nephew." ”

The middle-aged man smiled, stroked the green beard under his chin, and said mysteriously: "The Khan is still young, so there is no need to rush to seal the Great Yan clan." It's also great to marry a few more princesses from big tribes and come back as wives. ”

When he saw Yelu Tuo'er open his mouth and wanted to refute, he preemptively said: "I'm afraid the Khan doesn't know, the princesses of each tribe have different wonders, and the taste can only be understood but not spoken. In this world, I am afraid that only a powerful man like Khan can enjoy the blessings. ”

Hearing this, Jerod'er was obviously moved, his cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes were amazingly bright. His lips moved a few times, and finally he closed tightly and stopped singing. The middle-aged man and the old man exchanged a meaningful look in private.

They pacified Jerodel who had escaped, but there was an uproar in the great hall. I saw two gorgeous carriages outside the main hall, one after the other, and dozens of majestic guards were followed by each of them. Then the carriage came closer and closer, and came closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the main hall.

As soon as the curtain of the car in front of the car was lifted, a young man wearing a dark purple robe and a young man wearing a moon-white robe jumped down one after the other. When the two arrived at the front of the main hall, they were not in a hurry to come in, and they saw the young man in the purple robe stretch out his hand, and a woman's plain white hand stretched out in the car, holding his arm, and the woman walked down from the carriage step by step.

A light purple embroidered bauhinia gown, a violet skirt, and a dark purple gold veil draped over her shoulders! This woman is not only outstanding, she also has fair and delicate skin, and picturesque eyebrows.

Although there is only an amethyst tassel hairpin on her hair bun, while walking, the crystal clear long tassel gently sways on the side of her cheeks, and the long hundred-piece skirt is blown up by the wind, making her whole person like a dancing butterfly, which has a unique moving style. Standing with a handsome young man who is also wearing a dark purple robe, it is simply a pair made in heaven.

And the beautiful young man in the moon-white robe stood on the other side of the woman with a smile. His elegant posture and charming peach blossom eyes have fascinated many ignorant girls in the hall. The appearance of the three of them almost took the attention of everyone in the main hall.

No one noticed that in the carriage behind, the county lord of Akzhen who came down alone had complicated eyes.

When they came to the temple, the three of them saluted Jerod, who was sitting high on the top: "I have seen the Khan! ”

"Hurry up and give a seat to General Guo, the prince of Shu and my sister Zhong!" Jerodel saw that they were already too excited to help themselves, and sat on their thrones and writhed. If it weren't for his third uncle who had been silently suppressing his eyes, I was afraid that he would have jumped up and greeted him in person.

Immediately, a maid came up to guide Guo Chengsi and the three of them to take their seats, and then the county lord of Akzhen also stepped forward to salute. Relatively. This time, Jerodor was much more reserved. He bowed his head slightly and said, "Come on, give the county lord of Akzhen a seat." ”

Akzhen's position was at the head of Jerodir. Compared with Guo Chenghe, their position is obviously much more noble, but it also widens the distance between her and them.

The most important guests had arrived, and the whole hall was boiling. The dancers danced, the musicians played melodious music, and countless beautiful maids shuttled among the guests, offering them the strongest wine and the freshest food.

Jeroder was a typical pro-Han faction. Several of his uncles and courtiers were also less wild and ambitious under the years of Jerutereth's suppression. Especially this time, Yelu Tuo'er was able to take the throne smoothly, thanks to Guo Chenghe. Zhu Fei added fuel to the fire. So they are particularly enthusiastic and flattering to Guo Chengsi and Zhu Fei.

In addition, the two of them are already outstanding in appearance and have noble backgrounds. Those dancers who have a good voice are all secretly happy. They were smiling. Autumn waves are thrown. The tightly bound waist is twisting wildly, and the magic of the jade leg is looming when it is kicked. Their enthusiasm made the men in the entire hall go crazy.

It's a pity that Guo Chenghei and Zhu Fei admired their graceful dancing with a smile on the corner of their mouths. But the majesty and indifference exuded by them, intentionally or unintentionally, made those spring-hearted dancers dare not make rash mistakes.

Opposite them was a Khitan princess in a gorgeous costume, she smiled coquettishly, her soft and boneless body was soft and half-leaning on the collapse, and a pair of misty eyes swept over Guo Chenghe's body intentionally or unintentionally. With the laughter shaking, her full **** trembled. It made the man's blood gush when he saw it.

Zhong Ziyuan sighed secretly, the blood stains in this hall had not been completely washed away. The people sitting in the temple began to forget about the killing frenzy that had just passed. They no longer have to worry about it, and they begin to indulge in sensuality, enjoying the riches and luxuries in front of them with peace of mind.

The aroma of wine, meat, and the rich aroma of fat powder in the hall were mixed together, and Zhong Ziyuan's head was dizzy. She stretched out her slender fingers and knealed the corners of her forehead. Seeing this, Guo Chengsi hurriedly asked in a low voice, "But you don't feel well?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan lowered his eyes and said, "It's nothing, I just feel bored and panicked, and I want to go out for a walk and breathe fresh air." ”

"I'll be with you." Guo Chengsi was quite considerate.

Zhong Ziyuan raised his eyes and looked at the head, a white-bearded old man sitting next to Yelu Tuo'er, who was holding a silver cup and walking towards this side with a flattering smile on his face. She smiled helplessly and said, "No need, I'll just walk around the door and come back in a while." ”

Guo Chengsi wanted to say something, but the white-bearded old man had already walked in front of them. Guo Chengsi had to leave her for the time being and greet the white-bearded old man. Taking advantage of Guo Chenghei's lack of time to take care of himself, Zhong Ziyuan quietly slipped out of the main hall.

The air outside was much clearer, and she took a deep breath of satisfaction. It's late summer and early autumn, and the evening breeze is blowing with a hint of coolness. Zhong Ziyuan gathered the placket on his body and walked slowly around the main hall.

The magnificent hall is now brightly lit, as if it were daylight. When the guards on both sides saw her, they all saluted respectfully. After Zhong Ziyuan bowed slightly, they immediately retreated quietly, for fear of disturbing the distinguished guests in front of them.

Zhong Ziyuan smiled sarcastically, remembering that not long ago, he tried his best to get close to this hall, and he had to be driven and intimidated by the guards from time to time. At that time, I never thought that one day, I would be able to wander around the hall with a swagger like Mrs. Naxiao, and all the guards retreated to the side in fear, and the taste of power was really intoxicating.

Unconsciously, she walked to the dormitory where the former Queen Mother lived. Unlike the bright lights outside, the dormitory was dark at the moment, and it looked extremely gloomy and desolate.

Zhong Ziyuan walked in, and in a blink of an eye, her figure blended into the dark night. She fumbled and sat on the bed where the former Queen Mother rested and was silent for a long time, not noticing the passage of time, until a slight sound brought back her attention.

Zhong Ziyuan's heart tightened suddenly, and she immediately whispered, "Who is over there?" ”

The small sound disappeared immediately. Zhong Ziyuan's heart became more and more vigilant, she stood up suddenly, and while quietly moving towards the gate, she threatened in a low voice: "If you don't make a sound, I will call the guards." ”

Zhong Ziyuan had just touched the door frame of the gate, and a petite dark figure sprang out like a rabbit. Zhong Ziyuan looked at it fixedly, only to find that this figure was a young maid, and she seemed to be carrying a lot of things in her arms.

Zhong Ziyuan was furious, but she didn't expect that the queen mother's bones were not cold, and these little thieves actually stole into her dormitory. Without saying a word, she lifted her foot and kicked over. The maid was defenseless and was kicked to the ground in an instant.

Zhong Ziyuan said angrily: "You thief is not small, you steal things and want to run, could it be that you are all decorations as a guard outside?" ”

The maid was frightened, and hurriedly got up and knelt in front of Zhong Ziyuan, kowtowing again and again: "The noble man spares his life, the noble man spares his life, the slave and maid are not thieves, and the slave and maid are not thieves......"

The silvery moonlight poured in and shone on the maid's tearful face. Zhong Ziyuan's heart moved, and said, "It turned out to be you!" ”

The movement in the dormitory immediately attracted the attention of the guards outside, and someone asked vigilantly, "Who is here?" ”

The moment the shouts came out, countless hurried footsteps immediately sounded around them, and several torches illuminated the originally dark and cold door of the dormitory.

Seeing those murderous guards, the maid immediately panicked, she hugged Zhong Ziyuan's thigh fiercely, and shouted in horror: "Noble help!" It was the queen mother's idea to send the nobles out of the palace that day, and it had nothing to do with the slaves! ”

"The Queen Mother?" Zhong Ziyuan's heart moved, she took a few steps forward, exposing her face to everyone's eyes, and then pretended to be angry and said, "It's me, what advice do you have?" The maid was obedient, and immediately shrank down and hid herself in a dark corner.

When the guards saw Zhong Ziyuan, they immediately respectfully accepted the weapons in their hands and retreated quietly. Only the leader of the guards gave her a chest salute and said, "I have disturbed the nobles, please forgive me!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just revisiting the old place." I was in a state of anxiety for a while, so I made a move. ”

The leader of the guards nodded and said, "In that case, I will retreat." He knew that the woman in front of him and her man were the Khan's distinguished guests, and his status was much higher than him, so he was very polite in his words.

Before leaving, he did not forget to kindly remind: "If the noble person is fine, you might as well leave early, this dormitory is not very clean at night." ”

Zhong Ziyuan's heart moved, and said, "How can you say this?" ”

The head of the guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with some fear: "It is said that on the day the palace was broken, the former queen mother hanged herself in this dormitory, and her death was quite tragic. Later, every late at night, there would be strange voices in this dormitory, and they all said that the queen mother did not see her son before she died, so she did not look for her and came to look for her every night.
