Chapter 5: Spring Feast (1)
Yu Tianqing stared at the celadon teacup, a few pieces of tea had been completely stretched out after a long time of brewing. The shape and fragrance of this tea are indeed dragon snake spring tea, so what is the problem?
Several maids couldn't help but look sideways when they saw that Jin Yuguang had brought two people over. The man was tall and handsome, but the woman in the coarse cloth clothes behind him wrapped his whole face impermeable, and he was not afraid of rashes!
Jin Yuguang made a vicious gesture towards the maids, and the maids quickly lowered their heads.
"Your Majesty, the people have brought it!"
Ruan Xinghe's long eyebrows were slightly raised, his lips were smiling gently, even if he was wearing ordinary clothes, he exuded a dazzling brilliance that was different from ordinary people.
"Your Majesty! This is the first year of junior high school. ”
Yu Tianqing's forehead, this should be the girl who sold jewelry that day.
The two gossiped.
Ruan Xinghe's eyes swept to the tea cup on the table: "Why does the king not suspect that it is me?" ”
Three years ago, Yu Tianqing knew that Yuan Yanzhi was the leader of Ah Li's tragic death, and he once wrote to Cangyunguan to inform him. It's just that Ruan Xinghe was too sad at that time and didn't read the letter. It was a year later that he found out what had happened.
Yuan Yan knew that he had ascended the throne and became the emperor at that time, and he assassinated him many times, but he never succeeded. This time, he was also looking for an opportunity to take revenge, but he didn't want to, and was delayed by the incident of the first year of junior high school.
"It won't be you." I have known each other for many days, who is Ruan Xinghe? He acted above board, how could he use such a shady trick as poisoning? If you want revenge, you will also be above board.
"Actually, the answer lies in every tea leaf."
Yu Tianqing fished out a piece of tea with a silver spoon, and a cunning light suddenly flashed in his mind, so that's it!
Ruan Xinghe naturally took Jin Chu's small hand, she seemed to be too nervous, and there was a thin layer of sweat in her palm.
"Xinghe, do you want revenge?"
Ruan Xinghe paused, but he didn't reply after all. Two figures, one white and one gray, disappeared in front of her eyes.
Yu Tianqing ordered Jin Yuguang to prepare the horse, and with the sound of "da-da" horses' hooves, her hair flew away. When I finally arrived at the station, I was shocked by what I saw.
The spring breeze is rippling, and the golden glow is fluttering.
A man in a dragon robe reclined on the chaise longue, his long eyelashes half-covered and half-hidden, his delicate skin seemed to be stained with the clear glow of the moonlight, and a sweet smell like an ice fountain spread in the air.
It's a pity that the maids in front of him with different postures and strange appearances ruined the beautiful picture.
He swept the visitor and said, "You go on." ”
Lord Liu from the post station rushed over to salute.
Yu Tianqing asked in a low voice, "Lord Liu, I can't even choose a few maids in Danhua Kingdom?" "Where did these fat, short, strange-looking maids come from?
Lord Liu lowered his head and replied softly: "Back to the king, I don't know what quirks the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty has!" Don't be thin, don't have light eyebrows, don't have a white complexion, and don't want someone surnamed Yu! ”
Yu Tianqing sneered a few times, thin, white, with light eyebrows, surnamed Yu, in this way, he doesn't want anything similar to her!
She took unhurried steps: "It seems that Emperor Yuan is very good today!" And in the mood to watch singing and dancing! ”
Yuan Yanzhi took a sip of wine: "Does the Dan Emperor like these women?" If you like it, let's watch it together. ”
"Not necessarily. This king is here to get down to business! ”
Her majestic gaze swept to the face of Fangcao standing on the side, Fangcao lowered her head, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be crushed by her.
"Take the herb down!"
Fangcao was immediately grabbed by the guards, cold sweat and tears flowed down together, and her body trembled like a sieve: "Your Majesty, it's not Fangcao!" Not me! Emperor Yuan save me, the slave and maid really love you! ”
Seeing that Yu Tianqing was unmoved, Fangcao asked Yuan Yanzhi for help. Yuan Yanzhi's cold eyes flashed, and he suddenly pulled out his saber, the tip of the sword sank into Fangcao's body, and the flying knife hidden weapon in her hand rolled to the side.
According to her posture just now, this flying knife was naturally aimed at Yu Tianqing!
The guards quickly dragged the corpse down, and the maid who rushed to wipe the blood off the ground. Lord Liu wiped the sweat on his face, fortunately the king was not injured, otherwise, it would be enough for him to be investigated by General Jin alone!
Yuan Yanzhi walked towards the hall: "Aren't you going to get down to business?" ”
Yu Tianqing entered the hall with Jin Yuguang, who had rushed over.
Jin Yuguang opened the tea leaves wrapped in brocade cloth.
"Emperor Yuan, the Dragon Snake Spring Tea you drank yesterday is not the Dragon Snake Spring Tea in the real sense. Tea, like crops in the north, is infested with insects. But the difference is that the tea leaves that have been bitten by small insects have a sweeter taste and the tea soup is clearer. Therefore, this year's Dragon Snake Spring Tea, each piece will have a small hole. If you look at the tea leaves you drank yesterday, every piece is intact. ”
"Even if it's not tequila spring tea, I am indeed poisoned in Danhua, and this can't be changed." He sat down in a sandalwood chair with a relaxed expression.
Jin Yuguang saw that he was so sluggish, and he was angry! Stinky swallow, it's amazing to be the emperor!
Yu Tianqing motioned for Jin Yuguang to go out, and she deliberately closed the door hard to show her dissatisfaction.
"The king searched the palace last night, and found this tea in the abode of herbs, and found arsenic. Therefore, the poison of the Yuan Emperor is actually caused by the herbs. Just now, Fangcao was killed by your own hands, and you deserve it. ”
"So what?"
"Therefore, please Emperor Yuan must not misunderstand that it was my royal family, so as not to hurt the peace, let alone affect the signing of the letter of alliance."
Yuan Yanzhi raised his eyes and said word by word: "In two days, it will be the Chunhua Night Banquet of Danhua Country, it is better to make a decision after this matter!" ”
Yu Tianqing thought about it for a while, it seems that this guy is bound to use this matter as a threat, but I am afraid that he will have to prepare for both.
Yu Tianqing: "Just do what Emperor Yuan said!" ”
"You get out. Tell the little ones to come and serve. ”
When she first heard the name, she was slightly stunned, and finally opened the door.
Outside the door, a group of strange-looking women stood in a row with their heads down.
Yu Tianqing cleared her throat: "Little girl? ”
A woman with a nose facing the sky, thinning hair, strong palms, and a tiger's back stood up, her dark face slightly shy.
"Go back to the king, slave and maid."
"Serve the Emperor well."
"Yes."
Jin Yuguang, who was guarding the door, sneered, and suddenly felt the dark clouds disperse. She said loudly: "After many years, Emperor Yuan's taste is still so peculiar, you must wait for it!" ”
She leaned next to Xiao Dian's ear: "Xiao Dian, don't take a bath, Yuan Huang likes 'original'!" ”
Xiao Xiao smiled shyly, twisted his waist and walked into the hall.
Yu Tianqing changed to a carriage, and the egret carefully helped her up.
"Your Majesty, the prime minister is waiting in the imperial study."
Yu Tianqing closed her eyes and recuperated, and sorted out the things in her mind in the past few days. Yu Ming doesn't seem to be a person who cares about the fate of Danhua in vain, who is the person who sells illicit tea and poisons the Yuan Emperor?
Yu Ming presented the report, and said with a glance: "Your Majesty, this is the roster of the Chunhua Night Banquet, as well as the process and cost. ”
Yu Tianqing glanced at it a few times: "The prime minister is quite experienced in presiding over the night banquet, so he will do it according to the previous practice." The seats of the Yuan Emperor and the Prince of the Western Jin Dynasty must be bothered to prepare. ”
"Yes. Why didn't the king take the opportunity to choose a few more guards? ”
Yu Tianqing took out a book from another stack of folds and opened it, as if she hadn't heard it, Yu Ming really retreated.
The Chunhua Night Banquet was originally a grand event of the beauty villa in the past dynasties, similar to the emperor's selection of concubines. Whoever he likes, he will give him a gem, which is divided into three types, blue, green, and red, which also represent three grades, and this gem will be set on the crown of the head. Because of the high status of the women in Beauty Villa, the people began to follow suit.
On the day of the feast, the whole capital is lit up, and the women of rich and noble families usually give the man a jewel, and if the man agrees, he will set the gem on his belt.
And ordinary women will also dress themselves up beautifully, and after taking a fancy to the man on the street, they will sprinkle red dates and longan on the man, and if the man catches and eats it, the two will have a marriage contract.
Since Yu Tianqing came to power, the Chunhua Night Banquet has been nothing but a virtual one, no different from an ordinary banquet. Yuming will be so nervous, it is nothing more than because her son is about to become an adult, if she can enter the palace, then her position as prime minister will have an extra layer of important weight.
The days flickered, and it was the day of the feast.
The entire palace is lit up, and there is a joyful scene everywhere, which is comparable to the New Year.
Yuan Yanzhi stepped into the palace with Jin Mochen.
The two sat opposite each other, and in addition to the high-ranking officials above the fourth grade, there were several more handsome young men on the table.
On the golden lacquer throne in the center, Yu Tianqing sat upright. She is not wearing a crown today, and a crested golden hairpin is inserted in her bun, the golden tassels tremble and hang down, and her eyebrows are like distant mountains, fresh and moving.
"Emperor Yuan, Prince Jin, please!"
The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the soft figure of the dancer swayed out of the flowing water, which was wonderful.
Yuan Yanzhi followed the rules today, playing with a longan in his hand.
Zhuo Xingyin stood up after receiving the eyes of his mother Yuming, he was only 15 or 6 years old, as long as a willow, his slender eyes were slightly bulging, and he had the charm of a teenager.
"Your Majesty, Xingyin is willing to entertain the guests with a sword dance!"
"Accurate!"
He walked to the middle, and the sword was like frost and snow, and the sound of a faint spring fell, as if countless petals were volleying into the air. Suddenly, the soles of his feet slipped and he lunged forward! Everyone saw a bright yellow figure galloping out, and with a "dang" sound, the sword fell to the ground.
Zhuo Xingyin's eyes widened, only half an inch away, and the tip of the sword was about to sink into the king's neck!
Yuming hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down with her son: "There is no way for the minister to teach his son!" Forgiveness from the King! ”
"It doesn't matter! Thank you Emperor Yuan! ”
"This sword technique is flashy, if the Dan Emperor really wants to see it, why don't I demonstrate it!"
After Yuan Yanzhi finished speaking, his wrist turned, and the long sword was like a rainbow. The breeze was blowing, and his outstanding figure seemed to give life to the sword qi! Wherever the sword goes, it is like thunder and anger, and it is like the condensation of light on the sea, and it does not distinguish between reality and fiction!
Those young men were stunned! Their seats were supposed to be next to each other, but suddenly a gust of wind hit, and I only felt a chill on my chest, and my exquisite clothes had been cut out of a few big cuts!
