Chapter 40: The Deceased
Li Sheng only felt that her hands were as soft as a wattle, her skin was as smooth as clotted fat, and her forehead that he had caressed was only a tremble, her whole body was as soft as an electric current, and her face was even hotter than fire.
Chunliu saw that his face was even redder, and said, "Childe, you have a fever, as he spoke, he touched his forehead, and raised his hand to probe the temperature on his forehead."
Li Sheng scolded secretly: "This girl is igniting a fire!" He abruptly raised his hand to block her hand, and his magnetic voice was muffled, with a hint of anger and said: "What are you doing, I'm fine, it's just that the weather is too hot, you go and get a few more pieces of ice to dry to cool down." ”
Junru sighed, pulled out the cabinet, and took out a few pieces of ice from the stone box wrapped in several layers of thick cotton cloth and put them into the special wide-mouth curling stone under the seat.
The carriage stopped, and Junliu lifted the curtain and saw a magnificent palace with two big characters written on the door of the palace. She secretly thought that this should be the royal palace of the imperial capital, only the royal palace has such a grandeur, rows of soldiers descended like heavenly soldiers, wearing armor and majestic! But what is Lisheng doing here?
Li Sheng saw her open the curtain and said to her, "See, do you know where this is?" Are you afraid? It's too late to go down now, it's you who said you want to come, I've helped you cover your face with yellow powder as much as possible, I shouldn't mess with a bunch of rotten peach blossoms for me anymore, I don't know how many ill-intentioned guys I've cleaned up! ”
Chunliu shook his head and replied: "What am I afraid of, if you are not afraid, I am naturally not afraid, today is not the empress's birthday, what are you doing in the palace?" Chunliu wondered if he was also invited to the empress's feast.
Li Sheng took out a jade talisman from his body, and replied incomprehensibly: "I don't want to come, someone won't let me go, two days ago he asked the empress for advice, saying that I came to the imperial capital, saying how exquisite my medical skills are, and asked the empress to invite me to participate in the feast, the empress has always been in poor health, and when she saw me coming to the imperial capital, she didn't immediately seize this opportunity to gather me." ”
"Go, go in, and I'll tell you the truth!" Li Sheng lifted the curtain on this side and handed the jade talisman to the soldier standing guard, who took the jade talisman and glanced at it and said, "Childe, please!" ”
Chunliu looked at the scenery of the palace along the way, the gold carvings and jade masonry were gorgeous, but they were far from the grandeur of their Southern Flame Country, after all, the Southern Flame Country was the most powerful country among the four countries.
After entering the Hongyan Hall, Chunliu saw that the hall was already neatly filled with seats, divided into several areas according to status, and the palace maid at the door saw Lisheng coming in, and said crisply: "This son, please report his name, the etiquette has prepared a seat, and I will take the son to the corresponding seat." ”
The empress's birthday banquet was not sloppy, and the Ministry of Rites began to set up a register for the record in the last two months, and everyone who invited the banquet was registered, and it was not until last night that the final seat placement was determined.
Chunliu followed behind, seeing the huge banquet, the princes and nobles had already sat on their seats, they were already late, Lisheng's seat was in the middle of the left, and the upper part was the VIP envoy of Yunmengguo, the members of the royal family of their country, they couldn't see it really from a distance. The central part of the country is a major official of the third rank or higher. The tail is also too far away to see the truth, I heard Lisheng say that it is the sons and ladies of the officials, as well as the nobles and merchants of the emperor.
All the guests on the table came, the chamberlain went to invite the empress to the table, the empress was the last to make a grand appearance, wearing a bright yellow imperial robe, wearing a pure gold and jade curtain imperial crown, the robe was embroidered with five-color silk thread and silver snow and red plum were particularly dazzling, the empress ascended the throne, which can be called dignified and majestic! The crowd stood up and shouted long live......
When she was a child, she heard her father say that the national flower of the snow forest country is the red plum, according to legend, the first generation of emperors encountered assassins on the way to the snow, and there was no escape in the snow, and later avoided the assassin's tracking in a red plum forest, when she was hungry for three days in Meilin and was about to die, she met a woman named Mei Gu who saved him, and the emperor took Mei Gu to the palace as a concubine, but Mei Gu unfortunately died early, in order to commemorate the love between the emperor and Mei Gu, to commemorate the plum forest that saved him, the emperor took plum blossoms as the national flower, Anyone who inherits the throne must wear a snowflake red plum emperor robe before ascending to the throne.
Chunliu stood behind Li Sheng and said, "Childe, wait a minute, are you going to the front to congratulate, I hate this process the most." ”
Li Sheng nodded and whispered: "This is the rule of the banquet, and the waiters must follow the master to congratulate him." ”
The envoys of Yun Mengguo who sat on the first seat had already begun to salute Jun Liu looked at the back of a man, how could she be so familiar as if she had seen it somewhere, she rubbed her eyes, and when he turned around, he finally saw it clearly, oh my God! She secretly exclaimed: "This, this is not Xuanchenjun, why is he here?" ”
He pulled the clothes from Lisheng's back and whispered, "Childe, I won't go up with you." ”
Li Sheng shook his head and said in her ear: "No, so many eyes are staring, you said you were going to come along, give me a good performance, no one knows you anyway." ”
Seeing that it was Lisheng's turn to go up and congratulate her, Chunliu lowered her head and followed behind and walked towards the throne of the empress, hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at you, she was not afraid of things, but this Xuanchenjun knew her here, what if he found out.
Lisheng said: "Wujiang Dao Lisheng wishes Her Majesty the Empress, longevity is better than Nanshan, and longevity is boundless!" ”
Chunliu also shouted at the same time: "Wujiang Dao Lisheng maid wishes Your Majesty the Empress, longevity is better than Nanshan, and longevity is boundless!" ”
Lingji looked at Hua Yu and exclaimed that it was him! He is the most famous doctor in Xuesen Country, the last time they met in the ready-to-wear shop, at that time he saw his outstanding temperament, I thought it was the son of a family. I didn't expect him to be a well-known doctor at a young age. Next to this is probably the maid last time, she happened to sit on the right seat close, saw her head down and her face was black and yellow, I don't know how to get her face black and yellow today, she almost couldn't recognize it, if she hadn't seen her peerless beauty, she really thought she was an ugly woman.
Qi Shang sat at the tail from a distance, and couldn't see what was happening above, if she saw Li Sheng, it was estimated that with her temperament, she didn't know what kind of moth she would make trouble with.
Xuan Chenjun sat on the top of the left, because he came from another country, the empress attached great importance to his arrival, and the Ministry of Rites arranged for him to be a distinguished guest. He watched Lisheng come up from the middle seat and congratulate a servant, seeing that this servant lowered her head, as if she had met somewhere, and saw that her figure was very similar to Princess Junliu, just because he was sitting in the opposite direction of the maid on the left seat, he wanted to see that this woman's face was hard to see, and was blocked tightly by this master.
The empress saw that the departing doctor of their Xuesen country looked like an immortal descending, and her old face was also fighting for a sigh of relief, today the Jade Shizi, Zuo Overseer, and Xuanchenjun from other countries all look like such Zhilan Yushu, so that the women in her own country can't find such a beautiful man in the Xuesen country, no! Lisheng's beautiful face in the prosperous world finally earned face for Xuesenguo.
The ladies of their country saw that the doctor Lisheng was indeed the rumored beautiful man - happy like nine springs, and happy like autumn frost! It's not much worse than the first beautiful man in the four countries, and suddenly there were ripples in my heart, after all, my country's sons still have a greater chance than men from other countries.
When they retreated to the seat, Xuan Chenjun took a closer look at the maid, but unfortunately the maid was too cautious, and she couldn't see her face if she had been lowered, only to see her wearing the dress of a green maid, and her figure was graceful, and finally when she turned around and walked to the table, he saw her blurred face from a distance, and the snow muscles of a woman without any tricks were slippery, and her facial features were vaguely similar to Chunliu, could this woman be Chunliu?
When the beauties of Yunmengguo came to congratulate him in the end, Zhu Qi saw that the identity of the arrogant lady in the ready-to-wear shop was just a gift beauty, and he secretly scolded in his heart that a gift beauty dared to provoke him!
Qishang said respectfully to the empress: "Your Majesty, today is your birthday, the day of the whole country to celebrate, the little woman is from Yunmeng country, today Your Majesty is so happy, I want to ask you for a grace and joy, I fell in love with the little prince of Beihou Mansion at first sight, and the son also fell in love with me at first sight, and asked Your Majesty to complete our marriage." ”
Lu Xin was shocked when he heard this, when did she get involved with Beihou Mansion, wouldn't his plan be in vain! He glanced at Zhu Qi who was sitting opposite him, he opened his mouth wide and looked incredulous, stunned on the seat, he scolded in his heart: "If you get cheap, you will sell well, you can also rob the person I like, it seems that this matter is not simple!" ”
Princess Yabu picked up the wine cup and took a sip, looked at Bei Houye, her face was slightly angry, the prey she fancied was actually making a name for herself under her nose, this matter is by no means so simple, could it be that the second prince also got the news and knew the identity of Qishang, it is impossible.
Xi Yan ate a piece of dim sum, he wanted to see how this scene would go on, he admired the boldness of this woman, and it was really embarrassing for her to ask a man for marriage in front of so many princes and ministers!
The empress saw this beauty's bold courtship, and admired her courage in her heart, this woman remembered that it was Yabu who was selected to stay in the Snow Forest Country, and saw that this woman was the little son of the North Hou Mansion, and said secretly: "This beauty is too powerful, if she wants to stay in the Snow Forest Country, she will immediately cling to the North Hou Mansion, what a thunderous means!" ”
Everything came so suddenly, whoever caused the trouble would solve it, she threw the topic to Bei Hou Ye and said, "Hou Ye, what do you think?" ”
Beihou Ye saw that a mere beauty dared to ask him for a kiss in Beihou Mansion, his eyes glared at Zhu Qi, he only hated that this was the empress's birthday banquet, and he couldn't be scolded at will, otherwise he would be a slap in the face when he rushed up, and the good little boy would provoke a little beauty before he married his wife, and he would make trouble for everyone in the world!
Xiyu took the lead in saying: "The beauty told me about this matter, I Yunmeng woman is arrogant, but whoever is identified will die unswervingly, she also has the jade pendant and token of the son, I am in favor of their family affairs with both hands." ”
Ling Ji also stood up and nodded: "I am also a beauty who supports my Yunmeng Kingdom, and my courage to dare to express my love in front of so many princes and nobles is commendable!" ”
Bei Hou Ye looked at Zhu Qi and secretly scolded this kid for giving people even a jade pendant, so it seems that with the strong support of the princess of Yunmeng Kingdom, I am afraid that there is no room for turn, he tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" How did you meet her? ”
Zhu Qi looked at his father and questioned himself, knowing that if it weren't for today's occasion, he would have rushed up to discipline him, so he stood up and replied: "I met in the ready-to-wear store a few days ago, and I didn't fall in love with her at first sight. ”
Xiyu interrupted before he finished speaking: "Don't care about love at first sight, or what, all in all, such a good thing, and a token as a basis, don't worry too much, the empress and we will naturally be beautiful." ”
Qishang also intervened, pretending to be affectionate and said: "Childe, I fell in love with you at first sight, you gave me a jade pendant as a basis, I know that my identity is not worthy of the door of your family, but my love for Gongzi can be seen from the sun and the moon, Childe, I don't ask for the position of a wife, even if it is a concubine, I am willing." ”
The corners of Lisheng's mouth rose when he heard her words, that son really caused evil to provoke such a woman, he was clear about the situation that day, who knows what kind of crazy thing that beauty smoked, I am afraid that there is something strange about this matter, look at her arrogant arrogance Princess Lingji to protect her, I am afraid that the identity is not simple!
Chunliu frowned and scolded secretly: "This woman is sick, she doesn't believe that the son fell in love with her at first sight, it's no wonder that they got well so quickly!" ”
