Chapter Eighty-Seven: All Temptations

Looking at these princes, so ridiculous at such a young age, Huang Qiong's brows involuntarily wrinkled slightly. In addition to the king of Shu, the eldest of these princes, the eldest Yongwang, is only twenty years old. King Shen is one year older than himself, and the rest are basically younger than him. Except for King Song, who is half a year younger than himself, the rest are only sixteen or seventeen years old, like King Najia who is only fifteen years old this year.

They are not very old, but their thoughts are like this. Although he is not as greedy and gambling as King Yong, he is not as good as he is. It seems that King Rui and King Jing are in the fiefdom, and such nonsense is not a separate case. In a word, it was the education of his own emperor Lao Tzu, and there was a problem in the whole direction to teach such a group of sons.

It's just that the scene in front of him made Huang Qiong's brows, although it was only slightly wrinkled, and the performance was not very obvious. Maybe others didn't notice his slightly frowning brow, but the King of Shu, who had been secretly and carefully observing Huang Qiong since they met, was very keenly aware of Huang Qiong's obvious dissatisfaction.

However, although Huang Qiong's dissatisfaction was detected, King Yong did not say anything. Instead, he picked up the cup of things that made Huang Qiong vomit and ate it in a big gulp. At the end, after putting down the bowl, he smiled at King Yong and said, "I really didn't know that the seventh brother had such a good thing." When I turn around, you copy this recipe to me, and go back and let my cook learn how to make up for his master. ”

"Don't know all day long what kind of ginseng, deer blood and other things, the master who eats it is on fire, not to mention, that deer blood is something that the master drinks all year round? If you get this thing right, you really honor your master. Speaking of this, the King of Shu glanced at Huang Qiong meaningfully, but he smiled and didn't say anything more.

To be honest, the traces of the King of Shu's deliberate actions are too obvious. Therefore, for the tentative approach of the King of Shu, Huang Qiong did not accept it. In fact, from the moment they met, Huang Qiong felt that except for the greetings at the beginning, the fifth brother was secretly observing himself the rest of the time.

When he saw these young brothers, such an absurd scene, although the frown was not obvious, it must have been discovered by the King of Shu. That's why there is the kind of action that looks absurd just now, but in fact it is obviously tentative. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong couldn't help but thank Jia Quan for mentioning to him the character of the princes.

Among them, Huang Qiong's evaluation of the King of Shu is particularly profound. If it weren't for Jia Quan's evaluation in advance, Huang Qiong might not have been really, and he was confused by the absurdity deliberately shown by the King of Shu. This King of Shu is probably not good at coming this time, this is Huang Qiong's first evaluation of his fifth brother who met for the first time.

With this impression, Huang Qiong was extra careful after that. No matter how absurd these princes are, he definitely doesn't reveal a trace of what he thinks. At the banquet held by King Yong this time, although the King of Shu has been testing Huang Qiong intentionally or unintentionally, how can Huang Qiong not also test the King of Shu.

Compared with Huang Qiong and King Shu, who have different thoughts, but are silent on the surface, and they are still talking happily with each other, there is a somewhat strange atmosphere between them. Not only did the arrogant King Yongwang not notice, but the two people sitting next to him had been cautiously and without a trace of testing each other's bottoms.

The rest of them only cared about accosting and toasting the King of Shu at the wine table because they looked down on Huang Qiong, but they were indifferent to Huang Qiong, who was sitting next to the King of Shu. toasted the King of Shu, and the princes who had never piggybacked Huang Qiong also didn't notice that there was anything unusual between the two people.

In the face of this embarrassing scene, the faint smile on Huang Qiong's face was not missing half a point, and he treated the coldness of these brothers as if he hadn't seen it. Even under the table, he dragged the scene of snubbing Huang Qiong again several times, and wanted to get angry with King Yong.

Huang Qiong's performance made her silent on the surface, but she was secretly shocked in her heart. It's just that the surprise of the King of Shu was not shown on his face. For the brothers who came to take the initiative to toast, although no one paid attention to Huang Qiong. But when he raised his glass, he always had to bring Huang Qiong with him.

And Huang Qiong's dissatisfaction with the brother who came to toast the King of Shu because the King of Shu dragged him on, and even hung directly on his face, as if he didn't see it, almost did not refuse. Especially the king of Song, who was the coldest to himself, Huang Qiong even took the initiative to ask him for a drink.

Huang Qiong's performance fell in the eyes of King Shu and King Yong, but they had different tastes. Seeing Huang Qiong being snubbed, King Yong, the host, was as uncomfortable as being punished. Huang Qiong was a guest he invited anyway. At the banquet he held today, he was so cold, as if someone was slapping him in the face.

Compared with the restless King Yong, the King of Shu over there glanced at Huang Qiong meaningfully. But this king of Shu didn't say anything except when Huang Qiong toasted King Song's wine, and the King of Song, who had the biggest score, refused to raise his glass, and was somewhat cold.

For the king of Shu, after pulling himself into the water, he has always been quietly watching the fire on the other side. But at the critical moment, he didn't pay attention to King Song and helped himself round out the scene, but Huang Qiong was secretly wary in his heart. At the end of a banquet, both of them had an evaluation of each other, almost almost the same: "This person is not simple. ”

Fortunately, no matter how good the banquet is, there is a time to end. This time it didn't matter to others, but it made Yongwang, the host, sit like a pins and needles banquet, and before Yongwang was made unbearable by his brothers, it was finally time to end. Among the people at the table, King Shu and Huang Qiong don't have to go to the study to study, so naturally they don't have to worry about getting up early tomorrow.

And King Yong is a famous bastard among the princes, and he went to the study to read just for a scene. But the other princes entered the palace to study the next day. These people probably have their own ideas, and they don't dare to be unscrupulous like King Yong. So when it came to Youshi, under the leadership of King Shen, they asked the King of Shu to have a dinner alone, and then they said goodbye one after another.

Seeing that these guys were finally gone, King Yong, who was almost not angry with their performance today, drank the wine in the wine glass in front of him with a gloomy face and said: "I still go to the study to read all day long, I really don't know if all their books have been read in the dog's stomach." No matter how much you read like this, you're fucking useless. ”

Because the King of Shu was present, Huang Qiong didn't say anything about King Yong's venting. It was the King of Shu who patted King Yong's shoulder very chic and said, "You kid, what are you doing with such a big fire?" If the ninth brother is not angry, you will not restrain yourself. No matter what, they are also you and my brothers after all. ”

"It's a bit too much today, but you can't make them really unable to get off the stage, can you? You are also about to get married, and when the time comes, you will be out of sight and your heart will be pure. If you learn more from the ninth brother, you will have a little more city in your heart, and don't get angry at every turn. If you get angry, these people can change? I am angry with myself, but I am not the one who suffers? ”

Speaking of this, the King of Shu looked at Huang Qiong, who was silent, but smiled and said: "Okay, today's matter has given the fifth brother a face, and it has been turned over, and it is not allowed to be investigated." Ninth brother, I, who is an elder brother, also bring these ignorant younger brothers, and I will give you a crime today, and you don't take it to heart. ”

The King of Shu's style, Huang Qiong said indifferently: "The fifth brother is serious, it doesn't matter if he makes amends or not." The younger brothers are still young, so it will be good to wait until they are older. These things are just small things, maybe the brothers don't know much about me as a person. As you get acquainted with it, I think something will change. As the fifth brother said, they are all brothers, so will the younger brother go to his heart? ”

Huang Qiong's answer, the King of Shu smiled and nodded, and did not continue on this matter. Looking at King Yong, who was still angry in front of him, King Shu changed the topic and said: "I said Seventh, you kid left me and the ninth brother alone, isn't it just to sulk here with you." ”

At the mention of King Shu, I remembered that King Yong, who had not yet appeared in the most exciting show today, couldn't care about it. hurriedly took the King of Shu and Huang Qiong to a secret room in his Yongwang Mansion. After a few people entered the secret room, several eunuchs from the Yongwang Mansion immediately closed the door of the secret room.

After entering this secret room, Huang Qiong found that the candles in this secret room were already bright at this time. Although the area of the entire secret room is not large, it is extremely luxurious. The floor was covered with thick Persian carpets. The three floor tables, each on three walls, are already filled with a variety of fruits and wines.

Behind each desk lay a thick cushion, and on the side stood two beautiful maids with only a thin veil on their bodies. On the other side of the chamber, it was tightly covered by a curtain. The windows to the south are also tightly blocked by curtains.

Looking at the scene in the secret room, Huang Qiong's brows couldn't help frowning slightly. He should have known a long time ago that Yongwang's so-called wonderful program was definitely not a good thing. It's just that I've come in now, and if I want to leave now, I don't even think about it unless I'm really willing to turn against King Yong.

But Huang Qiong now knows that the one who can't turn his face the most, let alone turn his face, is King Yong. If the king of Shu is not there, he will be gone. But there is still the King of Shu at the moment, and if he wants to leave, King Yong will have to turn his face. In desperation, Huang Qiong could only sit on the cushion.

But before he could sit down, the two maids, who were only dressed in thin veils, had already leaned over like snakes. One held a glass full of wine and handed it to Huang Qiong's mouth, and the other brought the cut fruit to Huang Qiong's mouth. And just when Huang Qiong, who was very uncomfortable with this kind of scene, was trying to avoid the wine that these two beauties brought to her mouth.

Yongwang, who was sitting on his side, slapped his face lightly. As King Yong's slap fell, the curtain that had covered everything before slowly opened. As the curtain opened, a melodious song came out. Hearing the music coming from behind the curtain, Huang Qiong couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Why does this sound so familiar to him?

It is somewhat similar to the Tang Dynasty music masterpiece "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes" that he heard when he watched ancient art performances in Xi'an in his previous life. It's just that although it sounds similar, some details are plausible. However, after a simple comparison, Huang Qiong still heard that this was "Ni Dress and Feather Song".

And if he is not wrong, this should be left by the authentic Sheng Tang. Compared with what I heard in my previous life, first after Nantang Li Houzhu and Zhou Hou, it was added to the remnants left in the Tang Dynasty, and then modified by Jiang Baishi, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, and there must be a difference from the original version.
