On the celebration banquet of the Jinxiang Palace, with the melody of the musician's transverse flute getting higher and higher, the strings of the harp are also rapid, and the dresses in red dresses are graceful with a festive smile, they look up sideways, high temples like clouds and peach blossoms, and the big red long sleeves are thrown upwards together, and suddenly a piece of morning glow seems to have landed on the platform, gorgeous and beautiful.

In fact, the skills of the dancing girls are not very high, and the songs and dances of the Tokyo court do not seem to have developed much, and they are all sorting out the old bottles of dance left over from the Tang Dynasty...... Because the emperors of the Central Plains have been fighting for decades, there is no impetus for development, and the court courtesans are mainly performing for the emperor and princes. The current Imperial Court Sect Division has been abolished, and only Taichang Temple is supervising these people.

However, at this time, the emperor Guo Shao, who was watching the singing and dancing on the upper throne, and the generals who went to the banquet did not recommend dancing...... As long as the woman is beautiful, it can be twisted twice.

Guo Shao looked back on the left and right of the upper position, the ministers and generals on one side watched with great interest, and the ladies on the other side also enjoyed this lively and noble occasion, and he was very satisfied with this banquet at the moment.

At this moment, a group of palace maids wearing Yuebai Luo skirts came over from the side with small steps, they first served food to Guo Shao, and then successively served it to the guests below. Guo Shao looked down and saw that it was roast mutton that had been cut.

A female official took the opportunity to approach Guo Shao and bent her knees in the sound of music: "Your Majesty, Shaoqing (Zuo You) of Taichang Temple told the people in the imperial dining room that His Majesty talked to the generals when he went out on the expedition and wanted to eat the roast sheep made in the palace, so the slaves and maids specially presented it."

"Okay, okay." Guo Shao nodded and praised twice.

He immediately lifted his chopsticks and said, "Tell the ministers to taste them too." ”

"The slave obeys."

Guo Shao suddenly remembered the life on the front line, the food was very monotonous, and which military general said that his mouth would fade out of the bird! At that time, I really wanted to eat something delicious, and people's desires were actually very simple, and now they are easily satisfied.

He lifted his chopsticks, took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, the skin was crispy, the meat was delicious, and after chewing it twice, his mouth was full of oil. On such a lively occasion, he didn't taste it carefully, and it felt okay after eating a few pieces. His attention couldn't be focused on one point, the newly changed dancing girl was dressed very attractively, and Guo Shao couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Those women were wearing purple light dresses, bandeau tops, and half-exposed breasts, dangling in front of Guo Shao, making him feel hot and dry. He hasn't been close to a woman on the front line for a long time, and although Jing Niang is by his side, Guo Shao can't call her to sleep at will...... It's not good to be noticed by the soldiers.

At this time, Guo Shao's mood was very impetuous, he had just returned to Beijing, everything had not yet landed, all kinds of things were in front of him like people watching the lights, and all kinds of emotions were floating up and down. Although he socialized properly and behaved calmly, he had been dealing with it randomly in his heart.

The luncheon lasted until the afternoon, and Guo Shao personally rewarded the military with some saddle horses, ribbons, gold and silver, etc., and waited for the people to thank them, and then it ended.

Guo Shao returned to the study of Jinxiang Hall and saw a pile of files on the table. But it was not a chapter, he opened it and looked at it, it was Wang Pu's suggestion of rewarding meritorious deeds in the Battle of the Northern Han Dynasty, in addition to the list and article submissions, there were also written military orders collected by the former camp military government...... as evidence of reward and punishment.

The complicated military orders are related to the process of all links in the campaign. Guo Shao really couldn't calm down and looked at it, so he threw it aside. He just wanted to pause and settle his mind now...... This kind of impetuousness is like after the family has just finished doing red and white affairs and entertaining a large number of relatives and friends.

The Imperial City of Tokyo is now Guo Shao's home, but he didn't feel at home when he came back, it was very much like a kind of work place, and a large number of officials and eunuchs in the imperial city also regarded the emperor's living place as a place of work. In the era of the family and the country, the royal family is indeed not only a home, but also a country!

Guo Shao has never lived in the environment of a high-ranking family for two generations, and at this time he has a feeling: the bigger the family business, the more family members and relatives are actually a resource distribution relationship, especially the royal family, almost everyone is active around this matter.

In the bustling center of Tokyo's imperial city, Guo Shao suddenly felt a little lonely, no wonder the ancient kings called themselves "widows".

Guo Shao put down the file in his hand, got up and walked to the lounge at the back, and Cao Tai, the eunuch on duty, followed in. As soon as Guo Shao walked into the hall, he immediately felt a little strange, and soon found that this place was different from before, because there were blue, blue, green and green flowers and plants in it.

With blue flowers and green leaves, Guo Shao didn't recognize what kind of plant it was, and he didn't know much about this thing.

"Your Majesty, this is Iris. When you went on the expedition, Empress Duanci was ruling here and asked the palace people to move in. Cao Tai said.

Empress Duanci Fu Jinzhan is no longer in Jinxiang Palace, and Guo Shao has not seen her since he came back. He suddenly remembered one thing, that is, when he returned to the court, the second sister Fu went to Xuande Gate to greet him, and then feasted the ministers...... Fu Jinzhan did not come, and her identity did not seem to be suitable for such an occasion.

Guo Shao paced back and forth in the fragrance of iris for a few steps, then turned his head and said to Cao Tai: "Prepare the car, I want to go to the Zide Hall to see Empress Duanci." ”

"The slave obeys." Cao Tai replied.

…… Zide Hall is one of the main halls of the harem, built on a high pedestal on the central axis of the imperial city; The place where Guo Shao and Fu Jinzhan met was the pavilion on the west side, which was where they used to meet often, and the position here was very high.

Fu Jinzhan sat in the chair very dignified and quiet, as if far away from the hustle and bustle, but her red cheeks, gently fluttering eyelashes, and some trivial and subtle movements, it could be seen that her mood was not so calm at this time, Guo Shao was in a hurry to come to meet, she was very surprised.

Guo Shao bowed his hand slightly and said: "The forbidden army returned to Beijing this morning, and there are a lot of things to do when they come back, and only now have they come to ask the imperial sister-in-law how she is doing, please don't blame the imperial sister-in-law." ”

On both sides and behind Fu Jinzhan stood a woman in a round-necked purple robe, her words and deeds were also very generous and decent, and she immediately said soothingly: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, of course, you should focus on major matters, I can understand, I thought it would take a few days to see Your Majesty, but I didn't expect you to be so polite." She smiled again, "Congratulations to Your Majesty on the defeat of the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han Dynasty), and the major event of the unification of the world is one step closer." ”

In front of people, she behaved very uprightly, and talked about such lofty things as the unification of the world, and everyone around her was in awe.

She raised her arm lightly and said, "Your Majesty, sit down and speak." ”

Guo Shao nodded, took advantage of the fact that he was sitting and moved more, and took the opportunity to look at Fu Jinzhan a few times, under normal circumstances, according to etiquette, he can't stare at Fu Jinzhan to see, this is called indecent and do not look, and it is also the habit of men and women in the world when they talk...... Therefore, when men and women speak at this time, they will not look at each other's faces, not because they are distracted and rude, but because they are respectful.

They are very polite and well-behaved, but people's hearts are not limited by rules. Guo Shao was in the middle of the ceremony, his eyes swept over Fu Jinzhan's chest, and under the cover, he paid attention to the outline covered by the light and soft yellow silk, full and plump, and the natural lines of fat were very wonderful.

He swept it over, and immediately found Fu Jinzhan smiling eyes, and he felt like he had been seen through in his heart, and he was busy paying extra attention to his words and deeds...... The object of attention is always quite uncomfortable sometimes.

Fu Jinzhan Zhengse said: "I learned that His Majesty's class teacher returned to the court today, and I have sorted out all the affairs of the court and put them in the Jinxiang Palace. Your Majesty can ask the government hall about the handling of political affairs in the past few months. ”

"Let the imperial sister-in-law bother." Guo Shaodao.

"There are a few things ......" Fu Jinzhan pretended to say something and stopped, then glanced sideways slightly. The surrounding women bowed their knees one after another, and withdrew from the open hall one after another.

Soon Guo Shao and Fu Jinzhan were left to get along with the lonely men and widows...... But those who stand outside the door can see the inside of the open temple; And you can also see it on the road outside the Zide Temple. This is also the reason why Fu Jinzhan and Guo Shao always meet here, even if they get along alone, most of them are in a place where people can see, so as not to give people a "misunderstanding".

After all, the gossip about them has been spread before, and it is too easy to arouse suspicion.

The attendants had already retreated, but Fu Jinzhan didn't say anything about it, obviously she had nothing to do, she just wanted to find an excuse to be alone...... Although it is in broad daylight, there is no one around, at least the details such as the eyes are not visible to others, and others cannot hear what they say.

The two looked at each other silently. Don't meet again, but it can only be like this.

But this place is very good, the location is high, the open hall is also very airy, from time to time a cool breeze blows, the air is fresh and feels very refreshing. The line of sight is very open, the heavy eaves palace, the brick and stone avenue are in full view, and the people on the road are very popular, but they are not noisy (no one dares to make noise near the main hall). Tokyo and the Imperial City are also one of the most prosperous and luxurious places in this era, as if they were the center of the world; ）； This kind of place where there is no sense of depression will have a different state of mind, which makes people open-minded.

Guo Shao did feel very comfortable, there was no dirty dust, no noise...... The season is also very good, neither hot nor cold, not even mosquitoes.

Unconsciously, he felt that his impetuous state of mind was gradually precipitating, and the restlessness that floated in the superficial turmoil had dissipated, and he regained his stability and tranquility. And all this is just a short period of time.

Guo Shao looked at Fu Jinzhan's face, his eyes were bright, his lips were smooth, and his white skin was glowing with goose yellow, which was the color of the bright sunshine outside. She is beautiful, but she is very decent and dignified, especially the smile like moonlight, which makes Guo Shao's heart full of joy and sunshine, and all kinds of negative emotions are scattered with the wind.

"It was a great afternoon, and it was nice to see Marigold." Guo Shao said gently.

Fu Jinzhan said in a joking tone: "Even if you don't see me, there are still many people waiting for you to meet, and those people are no worse than me." ”

Guo Shao: "......"
