Zhou Xian braved the rain to greet the car at the gate of the palace, and after Guo Shao came down, he took the umbrella in Wang Zhong's hand, covered her head first, and then helped her up.

Although it was a trivial matter, Zhou Xian was suddenly a little moved. When Zhou Duan was convicted of a big crime and she failed to take the position of a virtuous concubine, some people in the palace talked about her falling out of favor, but Zhou Xian often felt cared.

"Wang Zhong, go back." Guo Shaodao.

After he finished speaking, he silently entered the house with Zhou Xian, and did not say any more superfluous words, but his expression was as usual. Guo Shao is not a talkative person, but Zhou Xian knows that he is not very old-fashioned, and he looks a little listless today.

When Guo Shao sat down in the hall, Zhou Xian poured a cup of tea, handed it to Guo Shao, and said softly: "The concubine doesn't dare to interfere in the government, let alone understand everything." However, since the concubine serves His Majesty, if she can make Your Majesty feel better, she will also do her duty. ”

"Oh?" Guo Shao looked at her with some expectation, and after a while, he said straightly, "I want to do a big thing and prevent Jiaozhi from becoming self-reliant in time, I thought it was a matter of merit, but no one seemed to agree, but I thought that I was arrogant and greedy." ”

He smiled reluctantly, "It doesn't matter if you think about it, it's an achievement anyway." If I am for the long-term benefit of the country, why do I have to be understood? ”

Zhou Xian had the same thoughts as Guo Shao's later sentence at the beginning. But seeing him sitting there like this, as if he was alone against the backdrop of the rain, Zhou Xian couldn't bear it...... The big man in front of him is not a person who is innocent and indifferent to fame and fortune, but he is high and low; Zhou Xian suddenly thought of the loss that no one appreciated in the past.

She pursed her lips and said, "If ordinary people do a good deed, the neighbors and villagers will not understand, and most of them will be forgotten; But Your Majesty is different, you are the founding emperor of Daxu, who will unify the country and the country, recover the clouds, force the Liao State to cede land and sue for peace by force, and form an alliance of brothers in the enemy country, which is destined to be rich in history!

This means that many people will know what His Majesty has done, even if there is not even one person in the world today who does not understand His Majesty's long-term achievements, can no one understand it for thousands of years?

There are many people of insight in all generations, and your majesty's good intentions will be praised...... If it's really a great achievement. ”

…… Guo Shao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help stroking his palms and laughing: "Well said, what a 'if it is really a great achievement'!" ”

Guo Shao agrees with these words very much, if you want to be praised by famous people, won't the descendants of the tenth and hundred generations be more than the current generation, and remember them longer? Zhou Xian's words are thorny, soft and rigid, and quite provocative. However, Guo Shao likes her feeling, she is not a person who is obedient and submissive, and a thorn in her eyes raises her knowledge to the same place.

Guo Shao didn't blame, but was aroused, and took a sip of the warm tea.

Zhou Xian got up and took off the pipa, and said with a salute: "The concubine plays and sings a song as Your Majesty to comfort your hard work." ”

At this time, Guo Shao couldn't help but think that Li Yu was a famous talent and a bosom friend, and he was very vulgar and only understood the body of a beautiful woman, so he blurted out and sighed: "It's a pity that I don't know anything about music and rhythm, so I can only listen to a rough idea." ”

Zhou Xian said with a smile: "The concubine thinks that although Your Majesty doesn't understand Gelu fur, he is very good at appreciating it." The little woman is different from Your Majesty, Your Majesty must be praised by all the people, and the woman only needs one person to know her good ......"

When Guo Shao heard that he actually appreciated elegant music, this is the words of the most accomplished artist in the world today. He was more and more happy, and thought to himself that if it was a good classical Chinese, the illiterate person would be completely confused; But music is different from dance, and you can always feel something anyway.

All he could do was sit there seriously, put aside distracting thoughts, and enjoy Zhou Xian's performance seriously.

Zhou Xian fiddled with the pipa, glanced at Guo Shao, who was focused and serious, and then began to play and sing. Guo Shao didn't even understand the words, it was a casual song.

However, a small song is sung by Zhou Xian, and the Jiangnan accent is very gentle, and the words are correct and round, without the slightest sense of softness and powerlessness. Coupled with the right posture and expression, the eyes flow with the melody, and the white and beautiful appearance is integrated with the amorous and tactful singing.

Rao is Guo Shao doesn't know the doorway, but he can sing any song like this, which shows his work, and it is not the same as the singing and dancing in ordinary banquets or ordinary palace banquets.

As soon as the song ended, Guo Shao immediately stroked his hands and admired, but he didn't applaud, and immediately said: "If it's difficult, the tone is too high, the changes are tricky, or the exhalation is too long, it is easy to show your singing skills; There are also some big dances in the palace, and the body movements are very accessible, and they are also known at a glance. But I thought that what could make people obsessed at will, with a raise of hand, was the real skill. ”

He said seriously: "It is 'the sound of the great sound', 'the avenue is invisible'......"

"Giggle......" Zhou Xian didn't wait for Guo Shao to finish speaking, his body was already trembling with laughter, as if he couldn't breathe, "Your Majesty is a martial artist, but he came with his mouth open, and he praised that no one could find Beimi." ”

Guo Shao didn't smile at all, he was a little dazed. Heart song and dance can really increase the charm of women, I think when I watched girls sing and dance at school, my brain was cranky and thought the most. I also think about the emperors of ancient times, those who are really proficient in the rhythm of literature and ink are not necessarily very lustful, but those who don't know anything are faint gentlemen, who like to watch singing and dancing the most, and their voices are excessive; It can be seen that in addition to its artistic value, this thing is itself a kind of temptation.

Guo Shao bowed, stretched out his long arm, and gently grabbed Zhou Xian's wrist and pulled it back, his palm was already hot, and he said cheekily: "After listening to Yangchun Baixue, what I think is low-level fun, but the most instinctive happiness is the most direct......

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xian's body was flexible and slippery, and Guo Shao was not willing to exert herself, she turned around lightly and slipped away two steps, blushing and chuckling: "The concubine didn't get a letter all day, thinking that Your Majesty would not come tonight." It's raining again today, so I didn't shower. Even if we don't bother to eat dinner first, you can wait first, and the concubine will go to the bath first. ”

Guo Shao was stunned and said, "I don't think I need to ......."

Zhou Xian smiled: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." ”

She's always been like this, and she's not very obedient anyway. Guo Shao was helpless, so he had to wait for a while.

At this moment, Guo Shao stopped Zhou Xian again: "Wait a minute, I think of something to tell you first." ”

"What does Your Majesty have to say?" Zhou Xian turned around and walked back.

Guo Shao groaned: "There are a few people in the palace, and I have always wanted to make a name. But the four ladies below the queen have no quotas, and they are low, and I can't bear it, so I keep delaying. ”

Zhou Xian listened quietly and did not speak.

Guo Shao paused and said, "Recently, I have thought about it again. In the imperial court, talented people must be allowed to have a way to make progress, in order to maintain the vitality of the country's operation, and appropriate competition is beneficial and harmful; But the palace is not as good as the court, and if I connive at the concubines to fight for fame and fortune, it is not a good thing.

Although I like Emperor E, I can't let you get into trouble because of my favor, and only increase my jealousy and hatred...... Therefore, I decided to crown Emperor E as Zhaoyi, Hua Rui as Zhaoyuan, and Lu Lan as Xiuyi, so as to have a proper reputation. Why does Emperor E think so? ”

Zhou Xian bowed his knees when he heard this, and said with a happy face: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Guo Shao made a gesture to make her flat. Zhou Xian stood up and said softly: "Then I'll go take a bath first." ”

When she left the hall, Guo Shao opened the wooden door to take a breath, and let the cool breeze in the rain blow for a while.

Zhou Xian is a separate palace here, with palace maids and eunuchs to serve specially, it turns out that she has no name, but her salary is very high. In summer, the flowers and plants are luxuriant, this palace is lush and lush, and there are more pavilions and corridors scattered layout, and the environment is very good.

Guo Shao stood at the door, looked over a corridor, and saw a beautiful young lady standing under the pavilion at the end of the corridor. Guo Shao looked at it for a while, and then he recognized it, wasn't that Zhou Xian's second sister Zhou Jiamin? No wonder at first glance it feels a little similar to Zhou Xian.

Guo Shao almost forgot about Xiao Zhou. So much so that when I saw her again, I felt that she was growing so fast, as if she had grown into a big girl in a short time.

At this time, Xiao Zhou is indeed easy to be forgotten, her identity is just the second daughter of a once prominent Zhou family, the sister of the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty who has perished, and she is separated from a famous person by two layers.

I'm afraid she'll never be much more famous again. However, Guo Shao felt that maybe for her, living quietly was better than the kind of fame she should have......

Zhou Jiamin also seemed to find Guo Shao standing at the door, but across the corridor, she still didn't move, lying there listlessly with her arms propped up on the railing, as if she was not very happy.

Guo Shao couldn't help but walk out the door and walked down the corridor towards the pavilion.

Zhou Jiamin first turned his head to look at Guo Shao for a while, then stood up straight, squatted down slightly, and saluted Guo Shao with both hands together.

"Your Majesty."

Guo Shao walked to the bottom of the pavilion, waved his hand, and looked at her face, "Who bullied you?" ”

Zhou Jiamin stood up and leaned against the railing again, compared to anyone Guo Shao had ever seen in the palace, her appearance seemed extremely unserious, which made Guo Shao think of a girl who was still a little rebellious. She shook her head and said, "It's nothing, anyway, everyone will laugh at me for being unsick** and ignorant." ”

She spoke very squeamishly, as good as her sister's, her voice was a little more delicate, her face was spotless and pure, and her body had developed into a shape. Guo Shao smelled a breath that seemed to be nothing, could it be the legendary fragrance? He thought it might be a hormonal smell emitted by Xiao Niang during her development.

Guo Shao suddenly didn't think she was naïve at all, so he immediately leaned on the railing and said seriously: "I don't think so. Perhaps those who claim to be sensible have lost their sensitivity to perceive all things, and instead think of everything as simple and cheesy. ”

Zhou Jiamin looked at Guo Shao with some surprise when he heard this. Guo Shao is completely silent, still very serious, but it is still easy to make friends with the little lady who doesn't know what to do, as long as he puts down the old-fashioned shelf.

At this moment, Zhou Jiamin suddenly said: "My eldest sister has come out, Your Majesty should go over quickly." ”

Guo Shao turned around and saw a light red silk floating by the door.
