Chapter 128: One Night in the Dragon's Bed
After retiring from the court, Pharmacist Zhu pulled Li Xiaofei to Shanglin Yuan, and ordered the inner supervisor to pass Wan Jun'er and Li Yufeng to accompany him.
Along the way, Pharmacist Zhu asked Li Xiaofei where he learned these ways of governing the country, and Li Xiaofei smiled and said: "I, I slept with others for a few days, and I learned these skills to fool people."
Pharmacist Zhu patted Li Xiaofei on the shoulder: "You, now you are not honest, and you are still lying in front of me"
"It must be the emperor's sleeping posture is wrong, haha, is it a lie to the emperor, I will drink too much later, the emperor asks, if there is half a lie, you will drive me out of the palace!" Li Xiaofei patted his chest and said
Saying this, Pharmacist Zhu was even more unconvinced: "Haha, you, after all, you have been an official for a few more years, and you have slipped your head." You are my honored guest, in this Jinling City, I allow you to lie casually, haha! I love to hear you lie and brag! ”
After a short time, the two of them arrived at Shanglin Yuan, surrounded by inner supervisors and guards.
In this Shanglin Garden, it is a place for the emperor to play, and they are going to Xuanqu Palace.
The palace gate of Xuanqu Palace is different from other places, there are many small bells tied with red ropes, the breeze blows, the bells jingle the bells, and a dance music can be faintly heard.
Li Xiaofei touched the bell: "It's really a good place, listening to this song, my heart is beautiful, it seems that I still follow the emperor to enjoy happiness."
Pharmacist Zhu said with a smile: "You have been an official for many years, and these bells are just commonplace." There are many wonderful things in this Xuanqu Palace that will open your eyes."
Entering the Changqing Hall in the palace, it was already lit by candles, and a group of musicians and palace maids knelt on the ground: "Welcome to the emperor!" ”
On both sides of the main seat in the palace, Wan Jun'er and Li Yufeng, the two concubines, also knelt down: "The concubines welcome the emperor!" ”
Pharmacist Zhu waved his hand: "No courtesy, get up, today you have to entertain my friends and old friends!" ”
After speaking, he went straight to the main seat and hugged the two concubines, the inner supervisor clapped his hands lightly beside him, the piano master and the drum master waved their hands, the pan flute sounded, the chimes should be in season, and the flute and Tao Xun also exchanged corresponding harmony.
The palace maids also danced in response, all dressed in bright red clothes, curled their hair in buns, waved their hands and raised their legs and bent over and twisted along the rhythm of the tune, Zhu Yaoshi was dizzying, and Li Xiaofei kept applauding to the beat.
Wan Jun'er and Li Yufeng got up from Pharmacist Zhu and walked in front of the palace maid: "Your Majesty, our sisters are also coming to dance, Your Majesty, you want to watch us."
Pharmacist Zhu picked up the wine glass: "Okay, look at you, don't eat the vinegar of these palace maids, come on, Xiaofei, these palace maids, if you have anything you like, call them to your side!" ”
Li Xiaofei held the wine glass with both hands: "Haha, thank Your Majesty for your kindness, but there is no blessing to suffer, once you come to this palace, all the women in this palace are Your Majesty's, how dare you be rude?" Second, there are two tigresses in the house, Your Majesty will spare me, if they know that I have found other women here to accompany me, I will not be killed when I go back? ”
As soon as they heard this, the musician's hands stopped, the sound of the piano and drums were out of place, and the dancing women were also out of pace, but Wan Jun'er and Li Yufeng coped with it freely, and led everyone to continue the dance steps and music.
Li Xiaofei put down the wine glass and slapped wildly with both hands: "Okay, good, worthy of being Your Majesty's beloved concubine, amazing, this dance skill is unparalleled in the world!" ”
Pharmacist Zhu was full of joy: "Hahahaha, the two concubines are not only naturally beautiful, but also intelligent, even I, a distinguished guest, are so praised, come on, I will reward you two pairs of golden horses tonight, Xiaofei, after this glass of wine, you will toast the two concubines again!" ”
Li Xiaofei drank it all: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen", and the internal supervisor hurriedly poured wine for Li Xiaofei and the two concubines.
I saw Wan Jun'er stretching out his feet and holding the wine glass with his toes, bending it back and sending it to his mouth without spilling a drop, Li Yufeng was not to be outdone, he took the wine glass upside down with his left hand and slowly twisted his body to stand up, and also sent the wine to his mouth without spilling a drop.
Li Xiaofei was amazed: "Thank you again Your Majesty Longen, if it weren't for Your Majesty's care, how could you have seen such a stunt of drinking today?" The minister does it first for respect! ”
Wan Jun'er and Li Yufeng said in unison: "Master Li, slow down, our sisters' drinking method is extraordinary, if you only drink one cup, wouldn't you treat our sisters as ordinary?" Doesn't this equate His Majesty with ordinary people? ”
Pharmacist Zhu looked at Li Xiaofei and smiled: "Xiaofei, I see how you drink this wine?" ”
Li Xiaofei got up and faced Pharmacist Zhu: "Your Majesty, the dancing skills of the concubines are unparalleled in the world, and the drinking method of this drink is even more invincible in the world, and I have to take it under the next, it seems that I am going to get drunk again with this wine, this drinking method is all based on His Majesty's instructions, today I have seen the unparalleled music and dance in the world, and I can drink with Your Majesty, even if I drink to death, I will die without regrets and smile Jiuquan." Haha"
As soon as Pharmacist Zhu waved his hand, Wan Jun'er spoke: "Master Li is very sharp-toothed, and our sisters also want to accompany you as a distinguished guest, where do you want to drink to death?" But you can't drink this wine too cheaply, according to the concubine, it is better to soak the dried pomegranate apricots in front of you in the wine, we take a sip, you will drink a cup and have to eat the dried pomegranate apricots. What does Your Majesty think? ”
Pharmacist Zhu clapped his hands: "Okay, Concubine Ai is really well-informed, I am the master, I can't deceive customers, I drink the same way as Li Xiaofei!" Haha"
Li Yufeng stepped forward and took Pharmacist Zhu's hand and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven has the way to drink the Son of Heaven, and the concubine will come to demonstrate first!" ”
After speaking, Li Yufeng first picked up some dried apricots and pomegranates and put them in front of Pharmacist Zhu's wine glass, shook them a few times, and then fed them to his mouth without swallowing them, and then sent them to Pharmacist Zhu's mouth.
Pharmacist Zhu immediately understood, so he took the sip of wine and the dried apricots and pomegranates in it and swallowed them.
Pharmacist Zhu smacked his lips: "Xiaofei, it's your turn, haha, I'm going to drink you down again today!" ”
"Haha, Your Majesty drank me, it was easy, but under the willingness, under the drink!" Li Xiaofei took the wine glass and drank it, chewing the pomegranate and dried apricots in his mouth for a long time.
At first, it was still the taste of pomegranate and dried apricots, but after drinking a few glasses in a row, the sweet and sour taste became entangled with the flavor of the wine, and it became more and more intense.
Wan Jun'er drank two glasses of wine more than ten times, and Li Xiaofei was already shaking his eyes and squinting.
Pharmacist Zhu snatched the wine jug from the inner supervisor and walked in front of Li Xiaofei: "Xiaofei, I still have a few more drinks with you!" ”
Li Xiaofei's eyes couldn't be opened, and he barely raised his head: "Okay, good, Xie, Your Majesty" planted on the case in front of him.
Pharmacist Zhu laughed: "This kid, it's still such a bad amount of alcohol, don't touch him, get him something to cover him so that he doesn't catch a cold, I still have to ask him!" These musicians and palace maids have all withdrawn! ”
The musicians and palace maids dispersed one after another, and Pharmacist Zhu sat beside Li Xiaofei and touched his forehead and shook it slowly: "Xiaofei, who taught you those words in the court?" ”
"Red Stamen!" Li Xiaofei said vaguely
"Who?" Pharmacist Zhu opened his eyelids
"My eldest wife, Hongrui!" Li Xiaofei struggled
"It's really taught by the people you sleep with! Let me ask you again, what are you doing this time? Pharmacist Zhu patted his face again
"Peace is coming!" Li Xiaofei was a little impatient and squirmed
Pharmacist Zhu paused for a moment, and then asked, "How did the prince explain it to you?" ”
"Whatever!" Li Xiaofei shouted
Pharmacist Zhu shook his head, it seems that this Li Xiaofei is really big-hearted, and the conditions for peace are actually casual, but this person is also the only person who does not lie to himself, so it is better to keep him by his side.
"Xiaofei, how about staying and being an official under me?"
"Okay" Li Xiaofei replied very quickly
Pharmacist Zhu was not at ease, so he scratched him and squeaked a few times, Li Xiaofei just twisted a little and did not laugh, it seemed that he was really drunk.
Pharmacist Zhu asked again: "What kind of official do you want to be?" ”
There was no response this time, Li Xiaofei's snoring had already gotten up, and even the birds kept in cages outside were chirped and chirped by the snoring, followed by the sound of dogs barking and horse neighing.
Pharmacist Zhu hurriedly shouted: "Come on, settle Li Xiaofei and prepare hot water and sobering soup." Today, I will sleep in this Xuanqu Palace! ”
After a while, an inner supervisor brought a very low carved dragon pattern small stool and placed it at the feet of Zhu Yaoshi, the inner supervisor behind brought hot water with a silver basin and put it on the small stool, and another palace maid who followed in stood behind him with a dried silk brocade handkerchief. Pharmacist Zhu tried it with his hands, and the water for washing his feet was warm and suitable. Pharmacist Zhu closed his eyes and went out, and the two inner supervisors knelt down at the same time, took off Pharmacist Zhu's gold-rimmed boots, took off the yellow silk silk stockings for him, and skillfully scrubbed Pharmacist Zhu's feet gently.
Pharmacist Zhu closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, but after a while, he also snored, and the inner supervisors didn't dare to wake him up, so they had to send someone to change the hot water and Jinpa over and continue to rub Pharmacist Zhu's feet.
Pharmacist Zhu's snoring stopped abruptly and woke up suddenly: "What time is it?" ”
The inner supervisors looked at each other, in fact, Pharmacist Zhu had been asleep for a while, Pharmacist Zhu shook his head and saw Li Xiaofei still lying on the desk and sleeping: "How do you serve your guests?" Send someone to wash his feet and put him on bed to rest! ”
A bold inner supervisor asked, "Your Majesty, where is the bed to be sent?" ”
Pharmacist Zhu pointed to the apse: "It's on my dragon bed!" ”
The inner supervisors were stunned, and Pharmacist Zhu was anxious: "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you do it soon? ”
The inner prisoners had no choice but to bring hot water to Li Xiaofei again, take off his boots and socks, scrub them, and carry them to the wide dragon bed.
Li Xiaofei continued to fall asleep, unaware of the dragon bed.
Pharmacist Zhu also went to bed on the dragon bed under the service of the inner supervisor, but when he heard the snoring like thunder, Pharmacist Zhu couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and couldn't help but regret it.
Pharmacist Zhu got up and looked at Li Xiaofei: "It's really a fool to be a fool, I haven't slept a good night's sleep since I became the emperor!" ”
Suddenly, there was a clattering of tiles on the roof of the main hall, and Pharmacist Zhu immediately shouted: "Someone, there are assassins on the roof!" ”
Dozens of internal guards quickly climbed to the roof with torches, it turned out that a big cat was fighting with a flower snake on the roof, and the flower snake could not get into a loose tile, and the big cat even planed the tile, so there was this uproar.
After Pharmacist Zhu heard the details of the internal guard's report, he waved them out, and looked back at Li Xiaofei, still snoring.
This night, Li Xiaofei slept peacefully, but Pharmacist Zhu couldn't sleep!
