Chapter 214: The Shrine Maiden Dances
On the third day, Amber freshened up Xiao Mingyue, changed into the dance skirt of the party woman, and learned to paint the makeup of the party woman.
"The party woman's dress is cumbersome and heavy, and the headdress is even more cumbersome, and the young lady is going to suffer a little!" Amber said with a frown.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can find out the truth, don't let their plot succeed, and avenge Yunzhu and the people, even if I suffer a little! Put the headdress on me!" Xiao Mingyue looked at herself in the mirror, dressed all over her body by party women, and secretly swore in her heart that she must take revenge and find out the conspiracy behind it!
Then he ordered a cinnabar mole in the center of his eyebrows.
"Miss?!" Amber asked puzzled while wearing a headdress for Xiao Mingyue.
"I'm worried that Li Yuanxu will recognize me, but I won't admit it! I ordered this cinnabar mole, I hope it will be different from the previous me!" Xiao Mingyue said softly.
Amber put on a heavy headdress for Xiao Mingyue, looking at Xiao Mingyue in the mirror, dressed in exotic clothes and hair accessories, with heavy makeup on her face than usual, and a little red on her eyebrows, although her appearance has not changed, her temperament is really different from before!
Then Xiao Mingyue took Amber and Zhiru into the palace with the old man.
Xiao Mingyue and Amber sat in a carriage with the childish Ru, and Xiao Mingyue wore a beaded curtain to cover her face in addition to a gorgeous dress.
"When we arrive at the Dangxiang Palace in a while, we must not be exposed! We can't let the old black witch doubt us!" Xiao Mingyue instructed the two.
"But, Miss, that Dang Xiang King has seen you in Yunqing Palace, and he wants to marry you three times and twice, before we left the palace, if it weren't for Yuwen Gongzi, Miss would really be brought to Dang Xiang Wang! Now, we have sent it to the door ourselves, how can the party king let Miss go?!" Amber looked at Xiao Mingyue and said worriedly.
"As long as I insist that I'm not Xiao Mingyue, he can't help it! As for the rest, I'll be careful!" Xiao Mingyue said.
When the young man heard this, he took out a bag of things from the bag on his waist, handed it to Xiao Mingyue, and said: "There are cocoon gods, longan and wood fragrance in it, which I made myself, colorless and tasteless, put some in the tea, it will make people drowsy in a moment!" With the county lord with you, you should be able to use it!"
After Xiao Mingyue took it, she smiled and said, "Thank you." "
Zhiru then asked Xiao Mingyue: "County Lord, there is one thing I have always wanted to ask to understand!" If you don't ask now, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future!"
Xiao Mingyue listened and said, "Do you want to ask about Imperial Doctor Zhang back then?!"
Zhiru nodded after hearing this, and said: "I was brought up by my master, and I was originally sold into the palace by my father as a eunuch, but my master took it back and taught me to distinguish herbs and diagnose people's pulses!"
Xiao Mingyue listened to it and knew that the childish Confucian remembered the love of master and apprentice, so she comforted and said: "
Your master is the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor in the palace is not just as simple as seeing people for the doctor, but there are also many interests and conspiracies involved behind it, and the imperial doctor Zhang ...... chose to lie for Xiao Wen back then, conceal the cause of Long Beauty's death, and slander Long Beauty! According to Xiao Wen's character, he will also cut the grass and eradicate the roots afterwards, so I had to send him to the prison, hoping that he could escape for the time being. And in the heavenly prison, he told Taifu Xue what he shouldn't have said, and His Majesty was also in danger at that time, and there was no way to save him!"
After speaking, he held the hand of the childish man again and said, "Don't blame Your Majesty, blame me if you want to blame!"
Zhiru shook his head and said to Xiao Mingyue: "I don't blame the county lord! If it hadn't been for the county lord to stop me, I would have gone with the master!"
Xiao Mingyue sighed lightly and said, "Imperial Doctor Zhang saved you because he wanted you to live well, and he didn't teach you more medical skills at that time, because he was afraid of bringing you danger!"
The carriage entered the palace of the king of Dangxiang and stopped at the palace gate, followed by a group of palace guards who came up to inspect it.
Then I heard the boy of the old black witch scolding: "Get out! Don't you know that this is the honor guard of the national teacher? The national teacher has the permission of the king, and he can enter and leave the palace freely, and everyone who knows each other should get out of the way!"
The palace guards hurriedly compensated for it and said, "The villains have no eyes, which has disturbed the national teacher!" Damn the villains! Please forgive me!"
"That's it, on the king's big day, the national division doesn't want to find bad luck here, let's keep going!" The old man sat in the car and said.
Afterwards, the guard of honor marched to the palace one after another.
Amber sighed: "This old witch is actually the national teacher of the party, it seems that the king of the party values him very much!"
"Since ancient times, there has been a struggle for royal power, and everyone wants to compete for the Central Plains, dominate the world, and want to become an emperor like Qin Shi Huang, so they are blindly not satisfied and do whatever it takes to fill their ambitions!" Xiao Mingyue said.
Amber and Childish listened as if they didn't understand.
"In a moment, we will see the opportunity to act, I am the witch who dances, and you are my servants, not the handmaidens of the county lord! It's not the little imperial doctor in the palace!" Xiao Mingyue said repeatedly.
"Yes!"
"Got it!"
After getting out of the carriage, the old man said to Xiao Mingyue: "Remember your mission, don't mess things up." I knew that your two little brothers were still in my hands! Especially the impolite offspring, I've been putting up with him for a long time!"
"Don't worry! Such a great opportunity, I just want to take advantage of it!" Xiao Mingyue said with a smile.
"That's good!"
The old man really had a very high status in the party, and when he got out of the carriage, the ministers of the palace came to greet him.
Two or three civil officials came over to greet him with a smile on their faces, nodding at the old man.
The old man looked like he was ignoring it, and after a few words of greeting, he walked towards the palace.
Xiao Mingyue and others followed.
Dangxiang was originally a nomadic people outside the Saiwai, and the people, both men and women, only knew the taste of meat, but did not know what vegetables tasted like.
Generations of kings relied on bravery and fearlessness to gradually approach the center of the Central Plains, and each generation of kings was ambitious and wanted to expand the land.
This Li Yuanxu is also the same, not satisfied with the existing land, secretly colluding with foreign countries, wanting to enter the Chen State to the east, and eyeing the Northern Wei and Rouran to the north.
Li Yuanxu believed in the Mandate of Heaven, so he recruited sorcerers to seek a future for himself, and the ministers of the palace of the party also opposed and supported it. Among them, Li Yuanxu's uncle Li Chengmin strongly supported and encouraged Li Yuanxu to secretly use witchcraft to expand his territory and drive away soldiers without a fight.
But what is the intention? Only he knows it in his heart.
The palace was lit up inside and outside to celebrate Li Yuanxu's birthday.
The banquet hall is full of friends, either rich or expensive.
Envoys from other countries also came to congratulate the birthday, and all kinds of gold, silver, jade, brocade and silk were sent in a steady stream.
Even the Wei State who had just offended, Yu Wendi also made an appearance and asked someone to send a pair of white cranes and two pairs of kodama Ruyi, as well as seven or eight singing and dancing music girls.
"The old man greets the king and wishes the king to live with heaven and earth! Shine with the sun and the moon!" The old man said while bowing to the king of the party.
"The national teacher doesn't have to be polite, what birthday gift did you bring to this king?!" Li Yuanxu asked.
"Jewels and jade, the king is already disdainful; Delicious food, the king has already tasted all the delicious food in the world; Where can I compare to the armor of the king?!" The old man flattered unhurriedly.
The words caused Li Yuanxu to laugh and said: "The national teacher said well, this king is happy, reward!"
"Thank you, King! However, the old man did not come empty-handed today, he adopted a female apprentice a few years ago, and now he is following the old man, and he is also half a witch, smart and clever, and his appearance is outstanding, and he has come to dance for the king today!"
"Oh? For the first time, I heard that there is a female apprentice of the national teacher, so hurry up and announce her into the palace, and this king wants to take a look!"
The eunuch on the side said: "At the beginning of the dance, the rhythm begins!"
With the sound of pipa and chimes, Xiao Mingyue stepped on the song, her gait was light and fluttering like a fairy queen.
Although Xiao Mingyue only learned the Xixia dance from others for three days, she is familiar with the Dunhuang murals.
Everyone in the hall nodded in admiration, and watched Xiao Mingyue dance intently.
Until the dance is over, some people are still intoxicated and looking forward to the next dance performance.
"Good! All right! This king thought it was the fairy in the mural who flew out!" Dang Xiang Wang clapped his hands and praised.
"Thank you for the king's compliment, the little girl blesses the king for a long time!"
After speaking, he also bowed to Li Yuanxu.
"Excuse me, remove the beaded curtain from your face, and let this king see it!" Li Yuanxu said.
Zi Ji on the side pouted and said, "The king is so eager to see this girl's appearance, I'm afraid there is some selfishness!"
"Don't be jealous of your concubine, after all, you are also the king's favorite concubine, no one will be older than you!" Li Yuanxu comforted Zi Ji and said.
"Remember, my lord, what I said today!" Zi Ji leaned on Li Yuanxu's arms, charmingly spoiled.
Li Yuanxu nodded perfunctorily at her and smiled.
Then he urged: "Don't take off your mask yet!"
The old black witch also said, "Since the king is so curious about your appearance, then you should quickly reveal your appearance!"
Xiao Mingyue knew in her heart that she couldn't hide, so she answered, and then gently removed the bead curtain below, revealing her face little by little.
Everyone looked at Xiao Mingyue busily, as if they had seen a mirage.
The moment the bead curtain faded, everyone unanimously praised Xiao Mingyue's appearance.
Li Yuanxu was even more stunned and stunned for a long time.
Xiao Mingyue was sure that he recognized himself from Li Yuanxu's reaction, so she made up her mind not to admit her identity in front of everyone, especially not to let the old black witch know.
Staying by Li Yuanxu's side will also have a better chance and more convenient to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the black witch!
