Chapter 22: Morning Dew Hanyu
22 Morning dew and cold jade
At this time, Xiao Fang had already taken out a brocade box, the queen got up and opened it, and took out a Turkic scimitar with a silver scabbard, carved patterns, inlaid with six rubies, bright red, and a sapphire inlaid at the gauntlet, which was blue and shiny. The queen handed the scimitar to Yi Yue, Yi Yue took it with both hands, and then pulled out the scimitar, only to see that the blade actually glowed with a faint blue light in the sunlight, adding a bit of coldness. Yi Yue exclaimed, "It's so beautiful, it's a good knife, it's a good knife." ”
"I heard that my sister knows some martial arts, so I prepared this, it's called Chaolu, and it took three months for a Turkic casting master to do it, but my sister likes it?"
"I like it, I like it so much." Yi Yue's eyes looked at Chaolu fixedly, and said in her mouth. Suddenly, she picked up the knife and was about to slash down on the chair, but when the emperor saw it, he immediately stopped drinking, and then turned to the queen and said, "How can you give a girl a sword and sharp weapons as a gift?" It's ridiculous! ”
"Yes, the concubine has not thought it through, I hope Your Majesty will forgive her sins......" The queen saw that the emperor was displeased, so she asked for sin.
"It's none of the queen's sister-in-law's business, this is what I like!" Yi Yue immediately spoke for the queen.
"It seems that the gift of this palace is still useful, and my sister is called sister-in-law so soon?" The queen laughed.
Yi Yue was a little embarrassed and grimaced at the emperor. The emperor was speechless.
"There's another thing here, which should also be my sister's favorite, presumably, it's also in line with the etiquette in the boudoir." The queen opened a small box, took out a piece of jade from it, and said: "This jade is a thousand-year-old cold jade dug out of the iceberg. ”
"Really? If you wear it, will you live forever? Yi Yue took it with both hands, and as soon as she started it, she felt a cool breath in her hand, which was very comfortable.
"There is nothing in this world that makes people immortal, just let you be quiet and don't be naughty." Seeing this Yu Qingqi, the emperor couldn't help but say.
"Brother Emperor, how can Yi Yue be messing around? With this, I can be beautiful forever. Hehehehe......" Yi Yue kept playing with these two things in her hands, and her joy was overflowing.
"Sister-in-law, how come you Turks have so many strange things? What kind of place is it? Yi Yue is so big, she hasn't been out of the capital yet. Yi Yue's face was full of yearning.
"If you talk about the rarity and breadth of products, the Turks are probably not as good as the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou, and the Qi country in the east, because they have lived in the Central Plains for a long time, inherited the culture of the Han family, are rich in products, thriving and prosperous, and many of our Turkic things are learned from here." The queen said.
"So, our Da Zhou is still quite powerful, oh yes, the Qi country you just said is as powerful as my Da Zhou? Definitely not! Yi Yue heard the queen say that Qi Country is also a land rich in products, and she was slightly dissatisfied in her heart.
"Uh......, this palace - I also heard from others," the empress looked at the emperor who was reading a book on the dragon case.
"The queen is right." The emperor put down the book in his hand and said: "The country of Qi and my Great Zhou, whether it is Zhou Tian's products or capable people, are on a par with my Great Zhou, and the people of the Gao family can be regarded as working hard, these years of coveting my Great Zhou's wolf ambitions, clearly revealed, born in sorrow, died in peace, and hope that the subjects of my Great Zhou have a heart of distress." ”
The queen said as a result: "The concubines, as well as Sister Yi Yue, will keep in mind Your Majesty's holy teachings. Sister Yiyue, don't you want to know what kind of place the Turks are? Let me tell you, there is the most vast grassland, the most majestic horses, the fattest cattle and sheep, and the most powerful bows and arrows, but there is one thing missing, something far inferior to the Great Zhou. ”
"What's that?" Yi Yue asked.
"What is not there is a sage and sage, without a sage and sage, there is no knowledge to educate the people, there is no ability to dominate the four seas, war horses and scimitars, may make the people temporarily submit, but if you want to live and work in peace and contentment, and support the king, without the education of the sages, without the virtuous civil and military, you will not be able to prosper the society in peace." The queen said earnestly.
Although the emperor kept his eyes off the book in his hand, he could hear the queen's words. secretly paid in his heart: "This woman is really extraordinary, intelligent and abnormal, but people's hearts are unpredictable, who knows what her position is, let's take a look." ”
"Yes, yes, although my Yuwen clan is also a member of the Xianbei clan, since entering the Central Plains, I have studied the books of the hundred schools of thought, imitated the way of the sages and sages, and appointed capable people to make it strong and prosperous." It was rare for Yi Yue to say so seriously.
"That's a good point, it seems that Yi Yue has grown up." The emperor complimented.
"Of course, but the person who just said virtuous, the Mr. Lan who helped us break the formation that day, does it count?" Yi Yue suddenly remembered Lan Jun, since he saw Lan Jun on the city tower on the day of the fight, Yi Yue has occasionally surfaced recently when he raised his hand and commanded the military horses to skillfully break the strange array......
"The person who can break through the great array of the unity of heaven and man is indeed a genius at that time, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" The queen asked.
Speaking of this Lan Jun, the emperor has been figuring out this person recently, although on the surface he has been named a member of the Great Zhou Dynasty. But it is unknown what it will be used for and for whom. Although the emperor's power is down, he must not be subservient to Yuwen Hu, but the emperor has always had great ambitions, and has long secretly cultivated a group of people of his own, although the number is not large, but all of them are brave and loyal, all of which are done extremely secretly.
Recently, the emperor secretly reported that Yuwen Hu's father and son were all paying attention to this person, and Yuwen Xun. The Yuwenshen brothers all wooed Lan Jun in every way. This Lan Jun is Zhu Xuanzhi, the leader of the Lantern Society on the rivers and lakes, and is known as having the skill of climbing the dragon. Through Yu Wenshen's recommendation when he broke the formation last time, it seems that this Lan Jun may be closer to Yu Wenshen. Who is this mysterious wizard? Is it just waiting to see the situation and choosing a tree to perch? It was difficult for the emperor to draw conclusions, and when he heard the queen ask, he said casually: "It's just a remnant formation, and it may not be a genius, as for whether you can serve my Great Zhou, it depends on the future." ”
When it comes to Lan Jun, the three of them all have their own thoughts, and the emperor is suspicious. The queen admired, and Yi Yue admired her talent, and the three people who were still talking just now suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became stuffy.
The emperor didn't know what the two were thinking, and thought about Zhu Xuanzhi's position and intentions, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, so he said upset: "Let's go out for a walk, it's boring." Then he went out of the palace gate, came to the courtyard, looked at the rockery and swimming fish in the pool, and said nothing.
After talking to the queen for a while, Yi Yue saw that the emperor's brother seemed to have something on his mind, so he left quietly.
After Yi Yue left. Hurriedly rushed to his palace and shouted to the two maids: "Ruolin, quickly serve and change clothes!" This princess is going to go out. Ruoli, go to Murong Mansion and let Sister Qingshi come to pick me up at the gate of the palace, quickly! Go ahead! ”
The two maids knew that their master would go crazy once he played, so they immediately took action, one changed his clothes, and the other hurried to call the guards to Princess Murong's mansion.
Yi Yue quickly changed into a set of clothes that looked like a rich lady, and then brought the morning dew given to her by the imperial sister-in-law, and ran to the palace gate to wait for Sister Qingshi, because the palace has its own rules, she can't leave the palace without permission. The Queen Mother had already told her that she had to go with Sister Qingshi when she left the palace! Otherwise......
Yi Yue just waited for a while, and then saw Sister Qingshi riding a horse to come. She galloped over all of a sudden, grabbed Qingshi's horse, and said, "Sister came so fast today, you must be missing me!" Hee-hee-"
Qing Shi smiled, got down from the horse, pinched Yi Yue's face, and said, "I calculated that our Princess Yi Yue was full of disasters today, so I was ready early, just waiting for you." ”
Yi Yue made a grimace, "It's still my sister who understands me best!" ”
"Let's go, where are you going to play today?" Qing Shi handed the horse to the guards on the side and asked.
"What, isn't my sister going to ride a horse?" Yi Yue asked.
"Golden branches and jade leaves, show up, have you learned the etiquette of Shude Bai these days? If I let the Queen Mother know again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take you out in the future. "Qing Shi is colorful.
"Alright then, let's go in a carriage." Yi Yue's face was full of reluctance.
After the two princesses got into the car, Yi Yue said to the guards who were driving: "Go to the horse market!" ”
"What are you doing in the horse market?" Qingshi asked.
"Pick a horse, of course." Yi Yue replied.
"What do you want horses for?" Qingshi became more and more curious.
"This princess not only wants a thousand-mile horse, but also a set of majestic armor and a sword that sharpens iron like clay!" Yi Yue said, taking out the morning dew and grabbing it.
Qing Shi saw that the weapon she was holding was absolutely superb, so she took it and took a look. The pearl is bright, the cold light is swallowing, and it is really the best in the knife!
"The queen's sister-in-law gave it to me, it's beautiful, isn't it?" Yi Yue grinned.
Qingshi nodded: "It is indeed a good knife, extremely sharp, cold and light, it seems that the queen has a heart, you can take it with you." ”
"Hmm-" Yi Yue took Chaolu, and then took out the cold jade from her arms, playing with Qingshi and admiring it.
Unconsciously, the horse market arrived, and after the two princesses got out of the car, although they covered their faces with plain veils, they still attracted the attention of many people.
The two of them have been around the horse market for most of the circle, and it seems that none of the horses can enter the eyes of the princess, because the horses in the palace are of the highest quality, but Yi Yue wants to ask the emperor's brother for a horse of his own, which will never work, and besides, is she in such a hurry to have a horse of her own, is there a small plan......
Just when Yi Yue was a little disappointed, she was attracted by a burst of aroma. The smell of livestock manure in this horse market is very surprising.
