Chapter 37
Feng Nishang said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor Chu is too worried, although His Royal Highness the Third Prince has a stubborn personality, Chaoyang still thinks that he is the most suitable person." Chaoyang retired. "It's just the best fit, not the love. After saying that, he returned to his seat.
The other ministers also retired one after another, and in the end, only Jiang Lige Chu Tianyi remained, Jiang Lige had already let go of Chu Tianyi's sleeves, and saluted: "The last general will retire." ”
Emperor Jianwen nodded.
Chu Tianyi said indifferently: "Since it is allowed to be discussed later, the sons will retire first, and they will not stay here to ruin your interest." He turned around and prepared to leave.
Emperor Jianwen said: "Slow ...... Let's go. Originally, I wanted to keep him at the state banquet, but when I looked around, I found that there was no place for him around, so I had to give up.
Hearing this, Chu Tianyi strode away.
For a while, the singing and dancing sounded, but it seemed that Chu Tianyi's back was extremely lonely, and Emperor Jianwen felt a little sour in his heart, did he do something wrong? Now it seems that he did something wrong, but so what, he is Lao Tzu, he is a son, even if Lao Tzu is not good, his son should not be so disobedient, not to mention that he is still her son.
Feng Nishang muttered: "Interesting, really interesting, there will be good shows in the future." "Chu Tianyi, you will marry this palace, and you will marry willingly.
Jiang Lige felt uncomfortable too, how could she help him in today's situation, she was not only herself, but also a Jiang family behind her, she couldn't be willful, Chu Tianyi, I'm sorry.
Empress Ning was angry in her heart, Chu Tianyi's face was really a disaster for the country and the people, just like his lowly mother! She must not let him gain power, let alone let him ascend to the throne! She was going to trample him on the ground forever, watching him suffer, watching him humiliate, watching him struggle.
Chu Tianshuo saw that the atmosphere had eased a bit, so he said: "Father, I heard that the eldest princess of Chaoyang is versatile, it is better to let the princess show the song and dance of Beifeng, so that the sons and daughters can feast their eyes." ”
Emperor Jianwen smiled: "You have to ask the princess about this." ”
Chu Tianshuo looked at Feng Nishang and said gently, "I don't know what the princess wants?" ”
Feng Nishang stood up and made a national salute, and then said: "The prince praises falsely, where is Chaoyang versatile?" This song and dance is extremely ungood at it. "Joke! She is the eldest princess of Beifeng, how can she scratch her head like a dancing queen! This prince is so scheming, it seems that the rumors are wrong, Chu Tianshuo is not as mediocre as the rumors, in the end, he is the one who is the prince, how can it be easy to be liked by the emperor.
Chu Tianshuo looked at Emperor Jianwen and said as if disappointed: "It seems that Erchen is destined to be disappointed." ”
Feng Nishang said with a smile: "The prince doesn't have to be disappointed, although Chaoyang is not good at singing and dancing, but this time he also brought a lot of singers, and they are enough to feast the prince's eyes." ”
Chu Tianshuo seemed to be happy and said: "This is excellent, there is Princess Lao." ”
Feng Nishang clapped her hands, and the singers of Beifeng rushed in, all dressed in strange costumes, bright and bright, and their arms were completely exposed, *** looming, but they were extremely beautiful.
Several of them stood on both sides with Beifeng's musical instruments, and soon the song and dance began.
Everyone was dumbfounded, only to feel dazzled and incomparably fresh.
An imperceptible mockery flashed in Feng Nishang's eyes, these ministers all pretended to be upright and gentlemen, except for a few high-ranking ministers, the rest were addicted to it, so it seemed that there was no difference between North Feng and South Chu!
Jiang Lige really appreciated it, this song and dance is wonderful, rare in the world, even if she often mixed in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion when she was at the border, she had never seen the dance of Beifeng, but now she took advantage of it in vain.
Chu Tianshuo's heart was full of vigilance: What did the eldest princess of Chaoyang want to give such a beautiful dance? I don't want them to be embarrassed by Nanchu, but what can this group of singers do.
For a while, there were different thoughts, and the wind was surging. Emperor Jianwen seemed to be unconscious, and watched the song and dance intently, his eyes full of appreciation.
After the dance, everyone was still a little unable to come back to their senses, I don't know who applauded first, and thunderous applause broke out.
Emperor Jianwen applauded: "Okay, good, this dance should only be in the sky, how many times does it come from the world?" I am blessed. It's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"
Empress Ning echoed: "This dance is indeed very good, the folk style of Beifeng is more open than our Southern Chu." "They all look like goblins.
Feng Nishang said with a smile: "This dance is called Mei Sheng, and it is made by a Qinglou woman named Mei Niang in Beifeng......
At this time, Shangshu of the Criminal Department interrupted: "Eldest Princess Chaoyang, what do you mean by acting like this?" How did the woman of the Qinglou get into this elegant hall!"
Feng Nishang smiled and asked, "What does Lord Zhao think of this dance?" ”
How dare Zhao Shangshu say anything else, the emperor and queen said that it was good-looking, so he had to say: "This dance is excellent, but the person who does it is vulgar." ”
Feng Nishang said again: "How can people who really love dancing care who the dancers are? Wouldn't it be too unfair to cut off the dance with people? Could it be that Lord Zhao's identity can make the dance last forever?"
Zhao Shangshu was quite frustrated, and at this time, Emperor Jianwen said in a timely manner: "What a good one who doesn't break the dance with people!" The eldest princess of Chaoyang is really broad-minded. He looked at Zhao Yong again and said, "Zhao Aiqing, you are narrow-minded." ”
Zhao Yong bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "The emperor is right, and Weichen knows his mistake." But he didn't mention the apology, and he still had some complaints about Feng Nishang in his heart.
Emperor Jianwen also pretended not to know, waved his hand and said: "It's good that Zhao Aiqing knows his mistake, today's state banquet, I don't care about you, sit down." He looked at Feng Nishang again and said, "Eldest Princess Chaoyang, please continue, I am very curious, what kind of experience can make such a passionate dance?"
Feng Nishang said: "It is rumored that this charming girl is as beautiful as a fairy, every move is full of charm, and she is transformed by a fox. Fifteen did the Oiran, has been a thousand gold difficult to see, this Mei Niang is also very high-spirited, the mood is too good not to accept guests, poor mood does not accept guests, even so, dignitaries and nobles are still flocking, a lot of money, bankrupt people, infatuated with demons, abandoned wives and children, at the age of twenty-five when she met a different rich son, the rich son likes her talent, praise her poetry, Mei Niang feels that she has found a bosom friend, and no longer accepts guests, day by day and the rich son chant poems against each other, the good times do not last long, When the rich son went out to play, he encountered a cliff talc and died, Mei Niang only felt that the sky was dark when she heard the news, and she had no idea of living for a while, so she committed suicide by jumping into the river after writing this song and a suicide note. ”
Everyone sighed when they heard this, and Emperor Jianwen was curious: "This Mei Niang should be sad, how can this song be so enthusiastic?"
Feng Nishang said with a smile: "Chaoyang doesn't know, but someone has read the suicide note, extended it, and said: I am also enthusiastic in my life, and I am also enthusiastic in death, and I am also enthusiastic in love, and I am also enthusiastic in hate. ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this is really a resolute woman. Emperor Jianwen sighed: "This woman lived clearly in the end, and I didn't even see the meaning of this flattery, but it was superficial." "Isn't it? Everyone only pays attention to how beautiful the dancer is, and who cares about the meaning of the dance.
At this time, Chu Tianjue stood up and saluted: "Father, the sons also have some ideas about this dance. ”
Queen Ning's smile was almost unbearable, and the son of a slut was also a slut, so she knew that she would compete for favor, and she really wouldn't let go of any opportunity! Since they love to jump so much, then go ahead, and when her son ascends the throne, she will definitely dispose of them all.
Emperor Jianwen was interested: "Oh? All the emperor has to say, I want to know what you think. ”
Seeing that Emperor Jianwen's attitude towards the two princes was so different, Feng Nishang secretly sarcastically said in her heart: This Southern Chu Emperor is really biased, obviously they are both sons, but one lives in the sky and the other lives on the ground, Chu Tianyi, just by virtue of this, you have to marry this palace.
Jiang Lige's heart ached slightly, this world is really unfair, she always knew that he was not liked by the emperor, but she didn't know that he was so disliked, Chu Tianyi, how did you come over for so many years?
Chu Tianjue said: "This dance is so enthusiastic, but no one sees the implied meaning, isn't it also that this woman is beautiful, and the world only knows its beauty, but does not know its meaning?" From this point of view, the reason why Mei Niang died was probably because she understood this. ”
Emperor Jianwen sighed and said: "What the emperor said is very reasonable, so it seems that our group of people is a little cheesy." Don't stand, sit. He said arrogantly: "Reward, each dancer has twenty taels of gold and two pieces of cloth." ”
The dancers thanked each other, all excited. Feng Nishang waved her hand and told them to retreat.
Emperor Jianwen said: "I was interrupted by the son of evil just now, my gift has not been introduced, this third gift is the night pearl of the South China Sea, placed in the room at night, bright as day, this is an accident I obtained, treasured for many years, the fourth is even more rare, called the white jade Bodhisattva, but it can emit a faint light, if it is placed in the sun, it is more dazzling, like the Bodhisattva is in the world." These two treasures are also invited to be brought to Your Majesty by Prime Minister Nangong to express my sincerity in cooperation. With a wave of her hand, the maid brought the box to Nangong Yi's table.
Nangong Yi immediately got up, took it carefully, and thanked: "Thank you Emperor Chu, the contemptible people will definitely convey the meaning of Emperor Chu to my emperor." ”
Emperor Jianwen smiled and said, "I only wish that this peaceful and prosperous world will last for a long time." "Meaning: I don't want you Beifeng to bother again.
Nangong Yi knew what it meant, Emperor Chu was an emperor who guarded the country, and he would not easily attack the horses and soldiers and invade Beifeng, which is why they would come to sue for peace. only said: "Please rest assured that Emperor Chu was indeed willful two years ago." ”
Emperor Jianwen didn't seem to care and said: "I won't care anymore, and I don't want to fight anymore." "Although Beifeng lost this battle, but in the end it is a big country, this peace is already the best result, if it is not good, the two countries are fighting, they may not be able to get any benefits in Nanchu, and the border has been restless in recent years, the two big countries will inevitably let the small border countries take advantage of the situation, which is why he knows that Feng Chaoyang is not suitable to stay in Nanchu, but he still agrees to make peace.
