Chapter 1 Chapter 7 Birthday Celebration in Beijing
The shopkeeper thought so, and suddenly felt quite embarrassed, so he quickly shifted his thoughts and instructed the shopkeeper: "Go to the two rooms and take the guests to the two rooms on the second floor." ”
Xiao Er immediately came over and took them to the second floor, picked the two guest rooms on the side, and settled down. Xiao Er turned around and said:
"Guest officer, rest slowly, if you need to eat at the time of dinner, please call me, and you can bring it to the two of you." The boy nodded in return.
This young boy and girl are Tian Qi and Ah Chong. After staying here, the two of them ate some dry food they had brought. Tian Qi went down to rest. After all the boat and car work, she had to make up for her sleep.
It was almost evening, Tian Qi woke up, the two of them went out to eat some snacks and snacks in the capital, Tian Qi took Ah Chong to visit the night scene of the capital, the bustling streets are very different from the quiet of Nanzhen at night. On both sides of the brightly lit streets, the special snacks of the night market, the poetry hall with the smell of books, the flower buildings with red lights, and the noble sons who take a leisurely walk on the road. This prosperous scenery is really not a loss of the land of the imperial city. There are also tea shops and restaurants in Nanzhen, but they are all simple and elegant. Compared with the excessive luxury of the capital, it is a little light. Ah Chong, who doesn't go out often, is very happy. Seeing Ah Chong smiling happily, Tian Qi was also very satisfied, and he would have to take him out to play in the future, stay in Nanzhen all day long, and see the child aggrieved. Tian Qi thought to himself.
It wasn't too early for them to return to the inn, so Tian Qi asked Ah Chong to stay in the room well, and turned around and went out by himself. At this time, Ah Chong grabbed Tian Qi's hand and said:
"Young master, just let me go with you, it's good to have a care, you are alone, I really can't rest assured! This time is extraordinary! ”
Seeing that Ah Chong's facial features were wrinkled together in a hurry, and his cute appearance, Tian Qi's heart was warm, and he reached out and patted Ah Chong's shoulder and comforted:
"Don't worry, the last time I came to the capital, I explored the way, and I was sure of it!!"
After saying that, he smiled mischievously at him, turned around and snapped his fingers, and disappeared like a gust of wind......
Today's emperor's thirtieth birthday. Officials with heads and faces from all over the capital came. Everyone here is dressed in grand and ornate attire. From the crown to the headdress, down to the jade pendant around the waist, and the tattooed boots on the feet, all of them are carefully dressed.
At this moment, the bustling flow of people, mixed with the mutual greetings of everyone, made the originally quiet imperial garden look particularly noisy and crowded.
Tian Qi is as simple and clear as ever today. Dressed in white, elegant and elegant, the neat and neat sideburns of the boy are tied with a light blue hairband. She didn't like the hustle and bustle, so she came in and stood in the distance without moving. Only the slightly fluttering headband makes people feel that it is not a picture scroll, but a living and beautiful young man.
Looking at the young man's quiet expression, it seems that this hustle and bustle is not around, he is like the immortal of Qiongtai Yuyu, and he is incompatible with the chaos of this world.
At this time, the people who came and went around seemed to be amazed by this beautiful scenery. The appearance is in the public, probably the best interpretation of Tian Qi, right?
As a result, countless eyes flashed over her, staring, and sighing! At this moment, the hustle and bustle of the Imperial Garden quieted down at some point, no one spoke, but everyone's eyes were focused together, and the atmosphere became a little weird.
At this moment, the shrill voice of the chief eunuch sounded at the right time: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
I have to say that the errand boy in this palace really has to have eyesight, and this sound brought everyone back to the state, otherwise they would all end up with a royal failure!
After a while, Chu Huaiyu, who was dressed in bright yellow, walked in with a dignified and majestic aura. His eyes glanced at the people who were kneeling down, and seemed to inadvertently stop at Tian Qi who was not far away for a moment, and then immediately withdrew his gaze. As soon as he raised his hand, he said:
"All the ministers are flat, today is my birthday, the monarchs and ministers are happy, let's be casual!"
All the people shouted three times again, and thanked them. The emperor also sat on the dragon chair in the middle of Huatai with the support of the chief eunuch.
The birthday feast is about to begin. The chief eunuch Ye Heng is reading out the gift list:
"Zuo Prime Minister Ye Yushu, present a golden jade vase. Wishing you a long life! If someone drops a drop of blood into the vase, the vase will show all of your experiences in the last twelve hours. Hit every shot, you can find someone to test on the spot. ”
So, in order to satisfy the curiosity of the saint, the head of the Internal Affairs Office pulled over a palace maid and took a drop of blood and dripped it into the treasure bottle. Immediately, the milky white glaze gradually showed a picture of a man lingering on the bed with the woman, doing something embarrassing.
The few people closest to the vase blushed and heartbeat, hindering the emperor's face, and it was not good to make unceremonious moves, so they all had to pretend to be serious, and they lowered their heads one by one and didn't dare to take another look. But now the saint is furious when he sees it:
"What's that? Make it stop!! ”
Ye Heng, the chief eunuch, immediately dripped a drop of unknown liquid into the treasure bottle, and with little effort, the treasure bottle slowly returned to its original state. Only the sharp-eyed official saw the man's side face, how could he look a little like our saint?
Next, the birthday dedication is still going on. The second, third...... It wasn't until a long time later that I heard the chief eunuch call out the name of Lu Zheng, the lord of Nanzhen.
Seeing Tian Qi stepped forward unhurriedly, he bowed deeply with his fists in a deep fist:
"Your Majesty, the grass people are the sons of Nanzhen Town, and Lu is innocent. The father-in-law's old illness recurred, so the grass people came to celebrate the emperor's birthday on behalf of the father-in-law, wishing the emperor happiness and longevity like the East China Sea!
Once the music box is opened, driven by the small mechanism in the box, the two villains above will rotate the handle like a real person, and then leave, and then rotate the handle, and then leave, and so on, the emperor, please see——"
After speaking, under the curious eyes of everyone, Tian Qi opened the box inlaid with gems and turned the wooden gear below a few times. Standing in the middle of the crowd, he pulled out the flute he carried with him at his waist.
The slow flute sound was melodious and tactful, with a slight tremor, touching the heartstrings of everyone present.
"It's moving, it's moving, it's holding hands!" Chu Huaiyu changed his usual majestic and disdainful demeanor, and looked at the two villains spinning in the center of the box with curious and childlike eyes. At this time, the small mechanism inside the box also struck a crisp and pleasant note. The strings alone are very clear, and it is inexplicably pleasant to listen to.
Just when Tian Qi was playing the flute, she inadvertently glanced up, and not far away, she saw that cold and handsome face again!
It's just that at this moment, his expression is a little complicated, his brows are furrowed, and his body does not release the coldness that the living are not close to, but an expression that Tian Qi has never seen, as if tangled? Confused? Tian Qi looked at him, he was also looking at Tian Qi, his eyes were facing each other, this look actually gave Tian Qi an illusion, he seemed to be passing through his eyes, looking at a once unforgettable old man, yes, it was a look of surprise, apprehension, and temptation......
