Chapter 24: Jin Jieyu fights back

Hearing Wan Yuyao's sarcasm, Queen Qian sneered, didn't even tease her eyelids, and played with the wine glass and said quietly:

"This palace is in charge of the harem phoenix power, and it is the most taboo to be a monopoly on the family. There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and only a hundred flowers blooming is the right way. ”

After Wan Yuyao, Empress Qian raised her neck and said to Emperor Jingxiao below the golden steps:

"Your Majesty, his daughter is Sun Shengsheng, the daughter of Sun Min, the governor of Liangguang, and now that she is in good health, she specially danced to cheer up the family banquet of the autumn festival."

"Oh, Sun Shengsheng......"

Emperor Jingxiao muttered to himself, his burning eyes were still focused on the girl's delicate face, seeing that her eyebrows and eyes were affectionate, her thin lips were slightly sparse, and her delicate face was covered with the red light of the dance clothes, the more beautiful she was like peaches and plums, and she had an indescribable liking in her heart.

The emperor stretched out his hand and smiled lightly:

"Shengsheng, come here, sit beside me."

"The concubines obey the order, and the concubines thank the emperor."

Sun Shengsheng was overjoyed, but he held a steady and decent shelf, gently twisted his waist lightly, and stepped forward with his skirt.

At the moment when he joined hands with the emperor, how many pairs of eyes were stung by the gorgeous red dance clothes, and how many gloom and jealousy were provoked.

Empress Qian looked satisfied and smiled, watching Sun Shengsheng and the emperor ascend the stairs and sit together, took the wine glass handed by the emperor with a crisp hand, and thanked her delicately, and her tone was tactful.

Queen Qian's dignified face was a light and breezy expression, but there was a trace of melancholy in her heart at this moment.

Who wants to give a young and beautiful woman to share the same husband with them?

However, her husband is the emperor, and she is destined to be unable to escape the fate of sharing favors with other women.

The only thing that makes her feel lucky and content, different from those women, is the position she has as the "queen", I don't know how many heads higher than those women, why should she fight for anything!

Wan Yuyao's eyes raised slightly, and her eyes looked at Sun Shengsheng as she crossed Emperor Jingxiao's gaze, her dark emotions rolled, and her mental activities did not stop.

Hmph, Sun Shengsheng! Sure enough, the person is as good as his name, clear as water, beautiful and moving. Just looking at that dance music, it is not difficult to guess how flexible its body bones are......

Regret not being at the beginning, you should be ruthless when you are in the violent room, and kill this little goblin!

Squinting coldly, Wan Yuyao cleared her throat and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, at today's family banquet, you will be busy with your harem family members to share the joy of the autumn harvest, and the concubines have also prepared a thin gift to help the fun, and please take a look at the emperor's face."

Emperor Jingxiao was peeling oranges for Sun Shengsheng to eat, and when he heard Wan Yuyao talk about it, he turned his head in surprise and looked over:

"The imperial concubine also arranged a show? In this way, how can I not look at the ceremony. ”

"The concubine thanked the emperor."

Wan Yuyao pursed her lips and smiled happily, got up slightly, and high-fived the air.

The music sounded again, but it was not as loud and passionate as Fang Cai's dance, but ethereal and euphemistic, with a hint of elegance.

Four eunuchs entered the hall before and after, and the front two ends had a triangular melon vine seal pattern sandalwood basin frame, and there was a blue and white porcelain large tile basin on it. The two people in the back carried a pear blossom wood corner table and placed it on the side of the basin rack.

The two palace maids followed up and placed pen, ink, paper and other objects on the corner table.

Everyone was puzzled, only to see a woman walk into the treasure and hall from afar, and bow down in front of the corner table:

"Concubine Weiyan Pavilion Jieyu Gu Yunjin meets the emperor and the queen and the imperial concubine."

"Jin'er?"

The emperor looked down with a surprised expression.

It was already late autumn, but Gu Yunjin was wearing an apricot-red sunset shadow gauze koi embroidered tight-fitting thin skirt, and the placket of the flowers was slightly open, revealing a touch of peach's main waist inside.

The hair is combed in a single screw bun, a few beaded hairpins are simple accessories, the small face is covered by an apricot-colored light gauze, and the sequins and tassels fall on the three edges.

And she only showed the pair of starry eyes above her nose, and her other delicate facial features and a piece of crisp breasts were faintly visible under the cover of the light veil, showing a hazy beauty.

Under the golden stage, there was a deep voice in the seat, and many concubines were already dissatisfied with Gu Yunjin's bold attire.

Gu Yunxi's complexion was gloomy, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

On the golden platform, the emperor was already fascinated.

Queen Qian immediately understood something, her scarlet eyes were violent, and she poked Wan Yuyao across the table with infinite hatred.

Sun Shengsheng's delicate little face turned gloomy in an instant, and he was silenced in displeasure.

Wan Yuyao sensitively noticed the change in the expressions of the two of them, but did not turn her head to greet them, she only raised her glass leisurely, took a sip of wine slowly, and then whispered softly:

"My sister is just learning and selling to the queen, didn't you say that you don't like a single family, why not ask Jin Jieyu and Sun Jieyu to be companions and serve the emperor together? Hehehe......"

Emperor Jingxiao looked at the large porcelain jar full of clear water under the stage with full attention, naturally ignored the dispute between the two women, and asked curiously:

"Jin'er, what show are you going to put on with these things?"

Gu Yunjin's laughing and chanting voice was tactful and clear, which made people listen to it very well:

"Back to the emperor, the concubines have learned some tricks recently, and they will perform one or two powers for entertainment at today's feast, please don't blame the concubines for being ugly."

"Juggling?"

Emperor Jingxiao's eyes were bright, and he was interested, and he said loudly on the golden platform:

"Don't want Jin'er to have such ability? Well, you have changed, and I have been rewarded for your change. ”

Gu Yunjin bowed down, then held a brush in his hand and an inkstone in the other, and walked around the field for the next week, and said:

"Look, everyone, this is a brush, an inkstone......"

Jiang Xuanzhi at the banquet smiled "poof", frowned and said:

"Sister Jin, we have good eyes, don't you say. If you want to change anything, you can continue, don't sell off. ”

When Concubine Shu heard this, she leaned over to look at Jiang Xuan, and smiled coldly:

"My sister doesn't know, those tricks are just the side door of the left road, and I said this in advance just to get the first word and attract the attention of others so that it is convenient for them to do tricks underneath."

Gu Yunjin hooked her lips awe-inspiringly, and didn't pay attention to their discussions, she polished some ink and dipped it with the tip of her pen, raised her eyes to look at Tai Shenjun, and said calmly:

"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to write a poem on this tank of water."

"Ti Shi?"

Emperor Jingxiao couldn't stop laughing, and under his fingers:

"When ink melts when it meets water, how can you write on the water?

Gu Yunjin nodded, confident:

"Your Majesty, look."

The pen fell, sprinkled on the clear water.

There was silence in the Baohe Palace.

Everyone stretched their necks and flamboyantly, and some of them were half-straight, all staring at the tank of water.

What shocked them was that with Gu Yunjin's jade wrist bent and raised, there were indeed rows of ink left on the transparent water, and every time the soft tip of the pen fell, a touch of light waves and slight dustpans would appear on the water surface, and those ink words really gathered on the water surface but did not disperse.

The crowd was amazed.

Only Queen Qian and Wan Yuyao sat majestically and firmly, solid as a rock.

Wan Yuyao knew early in the morning that Minglan had arranged for Gu Yunjin to study magic with the warlocks of the rivers and lakes, and also knew that Queen Qian was secretly cultivating her own people, waiting for the autumn family banquet to be presented to the emperor.

Wan Yuyao wants to join in the fun, and she wants to arrange for Gu Yunjin to also take the stage tonight to compete for favor with Queen Qian's people.

Thinking that the autumn festival family banquet should be a time for the emperor's wife and children to reunite and share their family, they had no choice but to become a fighting arena for the harem concubines to sharpen their knives and fight at a high level, so the emperor should be pitiful.

Looking at the shocked looks of the concubines in the audience, Queen Qian only rolled her eyes, and said in her heart that these women are really shallow!

That kind of evil magic is nothing more than a problem with the water in the celadon jar, or a problem with the ink, what is there to make a fuss about!

After Gu Yunjin finished writing a poem, her eyebrows were proud, she turned her head to look at Yang Cainu on the seat, and said sweetly:

"Sister Yang has the best voice, can you recite this poem to the emperor?"

How is it also an opportunity to show her face, of course Yang Cainu refused to let it go, Mei Zizi stepped forward, saluted to the golden platform and began to read:

"The sunset is separated by a thousand mountains, and the smoke village is a water.

The golden autumn is clear and rhyme, and the high moon is cloudless.

Talk and laugh about the harvest and welcome the proud gentleman.

Add chrysanthemum tea to the cup, and persuade each other to be more diligent. ”

When the words fell, the emperor was overjoyed and took the lead in applauding:

"Okay, a wonderful five-word quatrain to celebrate the harvest!"

When Yang Cainu returned to her seat, Gu Yunjin raised her eyebrows upward,

With undisguised ruthlessness and arrogance, he glanced at Sun Shengsheng, who had a frustrated face, and then stirred the water with a brush, and the ink words quickly dissolved in the clear water.

Gu Yunjin stretched out his hand and grabbed something from the red sandalwood round box, gestured to the emperor on the stage, and raised it to the left and right seats, and said loudly:

"Everyone, look at it, this is the black sesame we often eat, it has the effect of moisturizing black hair, and I will say that it will be thrown into the water later, and everyone will turn into a few little goldfish to play."

Emperor Jingxiao laughed when he heard "haha", waved his hand and said:

"Jin'er, slow down, if you can't conjure a goldfish later, I'll punish you."

"Your Majesty, just take a look."

The red lips squirmed under the light veil, Gu Yunjin threw the sesame seeds into the water, unfolded a square black cloth on the corner table to cover the mouth of the cylinder, counted more than ten, and shook his hand to uncover the black cloth.

The celadon jar is still a celadon jar, and the water in it is not much or less, but I don't know when there are ten more lively little goldfish in the water, and the tail of the fan is swimming happily.

When Emperor Jingxiao shouted "wonderful", Gu Yunjin tore up another page of rice paper, threw his water sleeves in front of everyone's eyes, and the shredded paper disappeared in an instant.

Then she threw her sleeves left and right, and from time to time flowers flew out of the cuffs, colorful and fragrant, which caused the scene to be spectacular for a while.

Next, Gu Yunjin drew a bare tree on the blank rice paper, and a few dead branches on the trunk swaggered, resembling ghost claws.

The emperor frowned when he saw it, and smiled astringently:

"Jin'er, if you say that no one in the painting harem can compare to Yuan Jiao, if you like it, you can learn more from her on weekdays."

Gu Yunjin knew that the emperor was making fun of her poor painting skills, so she didn't argue, she raised her brilliant eyes and flirted with the emperor, and her voice was shallow and soft:

"Sister Xu was born in a scholarly family, how can she dare to compare with her sister if she is a concubine who is shallow in learning? The tree painted by the concubine is known as the 'wine tree', and she likes to drink the most. Just pour it over the wine and it will sprout on its own. ”

"Oh? Is there such a mystery? ”

Emperor Jingxiao was delighted and curious, picked up the Panlong gin jug in his hand and handed it to his attendant Hu Gonggong, and said:

"Go, and pour this wine on her precious tree."

"The minions obey."

Gonggong Hu walked down the golden steps quickly with the wine jug in his hand, bowed to Gu Yunjin in a flattering manner, and then poured a pot of imperial wine on the painting according to her instructions.

A miracle happened, when the rice paper was soaked with wine, the bare branches of the tree slowly showed pieces of ink-colored leaves.

"Oh, what a spectacle!"

Gonggong Hu was surprised to see it, and it was also a sensation on and off the stage.

Gonggong Hu turned around and was about to go back, when he suddenly found that the lid of the gin jug was missing, and he was so anxious that he searched around the table and under the table.

Gu Yunjin smiled and said:

"Father-in-law, don't worry, the master will go with you to the emperor to find it."

After climbing all the stairs and meeting the emperor and the masters of the east and west palaces, Gu Yunjin took off the veil in front of the emperor's eyes, revealing the beautiful face of the autumn water hibiscus.

The emperor looked straight at it, and his eyebrows were dyed with joy in the faint and faint eyes.

Gu Yunjin acted and said softly:

"Your Majesty, just now the concubine was clumsy and ugly, you told Gonggong Hu to help the concubine, how did you hide the lid of the wine jug?"

The emperor pouted:

"Hey, Jin'er is talking nonsense. All the concubines present could see that when I ordered Hu Shun to step down and give wine, the gin jug was clearly intact. ”

Gu Yunjin raised her eyes, curled her lips and smiled:

"Well, you'll let me look around here."

The Emperor raised his hand:

"If you look for it, if you can't find it, I will sentence you to deceive the king!"

"The concubine takes the order."

Gu Yunjin's face was calm, he turned his head to look at Sun Shengsheng beside the emperor, the cold light in his eyes was fierce, and he said with a smile and arrogance:

"Ben is going to look carefully in front of the dragon couch, and trouble Sister Sun to get up and get out of the way."

Sun Shengsheng pouted, his expression was reluctant but he didn't dare to show it in front of the emperor, so he had to frown and get up, his aggrieved gaze was biased towards the queen, and then he turned his head to look down, and met Gu Yunxi's cold eyes.
