Liu Liang was afraid that Liu Ci would do something amazing after he was drunk, so he arched his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen also specially brought a juggling from the Western Regions into the palace today, can you let them enter the palace to entertain Your Majesty's performance?" ”

Liu Xiudun was interested, and asked with a smile: "Where did Uncle Huang find the juggling of the Western Regions?" ”

Liu Liang said: "They are the capital recently, I heard that they are quite famous, most of them are from the Western Regions, as well as people from the Great Qin State, it is said that they can spit flames in their mouths, self-tie themselves, and jump twelve pills." ”

Hearing him say this, Liu Xiu also became interested.

The Great Qin State is not the Qin State of the Qin and Han dynasties, but refers to the ancient Roman Empire.

During the Han Dynasty, the ancient Roman Empire was known as the Great Qin.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Since the imperial uncle has brought them into the palace, let them enter the palace to perform!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Liu Liang agreed, stood up, and slapped the outside of the hall.

It didn't take long for a group of people to walk in from outside.

There are men and women, and they are dressed in a variety of strange clothes.

The first one, who looked to be about forty years old, wore a small pointed hat and a beard.

He walked to the center of the main hall, knelt on his knees, bowed his head forward, and said in stiff Chinese: "Faisal of the grass people meets the emperor of the Han Dynasty!" ”

As he knelt, so did the men and women who followed him.

Liu Xiu glanced at the people below, most of them were people from the Western Regions with deep facial features and curly hair, and there were also a few blonde and blue-eyed people from the Great Qin Kingdom.

Liu Xiu has not seen many people from the Western Regions, and as for the people of the Great Qin Kingdom, it is the first time he has seen them.

He smiled and asked, "Your name is Faisal?" ”

"Exactly!"

"What do you all perform?"

Faisal nodded to a strong man behind him.

The strong man was almost two meters tall, shirtless, revealing his tendons and flesh, he first bowed to Liu Xiu, and then picked up a torch, and danced in the tiger-like hall.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu and everyone present were inevitably a little disappointed, just when people were a little impatient, the strong man suddenly breathed at the torch, and a loud sound was heard in the ear chakra, and a large fireball appeared in the air, making the entire hall instantly brighter a lot.

The sudden appearance of the fireball made many people present can't help but exclaim.

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then stroked his palms and laughed.

This strong man first showed that he was spitting fire, and then he was replaced by a Great Qin person, and he performed Flying Pill.

At that time, jugglers usually flew three, six or nine pills by one person, but this Daqin man flew twelve pills by himself, and his hand speed was dizzying, even Liu Xiu couldn't help but applaud.

After the performance of Himaru, the third woman to take the stage was a woman from the Western Regions, who wore a tights and outlined her proud figure exquisitely, and she could see it at a glance.

There were two young men carrying a table in the center of the main hall, and the woman from the Western Regions jumped lightly, and the person jumped on the table and danced on the table.

Liu Xiu and others took care of the Han dance, and now when they see the dance in the Western Regions, they have a different exotic flavor.

Soon, the two young men moved over another table and threw the table upward, and the woman from the Western Regions easily caught it, and then gathered the two tables together.

Although the table is small, this girl from the Western Regions can change various postures on the table, and from time to time she also performs handstands, jiu-jitsu and other skills.

As the people watched, two young men moved to a third table.

The girl from the Western Regions is still the same, and she also puts this third table on it.

The two young men kept moving the tables, and in a short time, the girl had already set up seven tables, and everyone present had to raise their heads to see her.

When the two young men brought to the eighth table, everyone present was shocked.

If she continued to go up Luo, she was about to run to the top of the main hall, looking at Luo Qi's so tall and crumbling table, people couldn't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat for the girl from the Western Regions above.

Faisal was obviously accustomed to such performances, smiled at Liu Xiu, and said, "Your Majesty, because of the limited height of the main hall, the grass people can only perform the Eight Cases of Stacking. ”

Liu Xiu asked curiously, "Faisal, how many cases have you performed at most?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, you can stack up to twelve cases."

Twelve tables stacked on top of each other and dancing on top of each other sounded terrifying.

Faisal smiled at Liu Xiu and said, "If Your Majesty wants to see it, you can move it outside the palace, and we will continue to entertain Your Majesty's performance!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to.

Next, several more girls from the Western Regions walked to the center of the hall and presented a snake dance for everyone.

These dancers of the Western Regions were basically Sogdians, who were good at singing and dancing, and were also good at business.

The snake dance is a very tempting dance, and the Western Regions Dancing Queen's body is soft, plump and attractive, and everyone in the hall is stunned, and they swallow their saliva vigorously.

After waiting for the song to be finished, Liu Xiu laughed and exclaimed: "The performance is good, reward!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Faisal accepted a gold ingot from Zhang Kun and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

He said as if offering a treasure: "Your Majesty, the grass people have also brought the unique wine of the Western Regions, I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to taste it?" ”

Liu Xiu knows about the specialty wine of the Western Regions and has drunk it before.

He nodded and said, "Bring it on." ”

Faisal hurriedly took out a jar of wine.

Zhang Kun took it and first called an attendant to taste it and confirm that the wine was not poisonous, and then sent it to Liu Xiu and poured a glass for Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiule waved his hand to everyone present, Zhang Kun understood, hugged the wine jar, and poured a glass for everyone present.

Liu Xiu picked up the wine glass and smiled at Liu Liang: "This time Uncle Huang has a heart, I will give Uncle Huang a glass!" ”

Liu Liang hurriedly picked up the cup and said to Liu Xiu: "Your Majesty's words are serious, and you are tormented by Weichen!" ”

Everyone present also picked up their cups and said in unison: "Respect Your Majesty!" To King Zhao! ”

Liu Xiu held a banquet in the palace this time, which can be described as a joy for the guests and hosts.

Liu Liangneng invited jugglers from the Western Regions, and it can also be seen that Luoyang at that time was rapidly replacing Chang'an and becoming the new political, economic, and cultural center of the country.

The banquet in the front palace came to an end, and Liu Xiu went to the harem.

The banquets in the harem are all female dependents, which have ended, the wives of the ministers have left, and the remaining female dependents, in addition to Guo Shengtong, Yin Lihua, Xu Xiling, Xi Cheying, Liu Xiu's concubines, and Liu Huang and Liu Boji, the two princesses.

Seeing Liu Xiu coming, everyone got up and saluted, and said in unison: "Your Majesty! ”

"No courtesy."

Liu Xiu waved his hand to them with a little drunkenness.

After taking a seat, Liu Boji said with some regret: "I heard that Uncle Huang specially invited the jugglers from the Western Regions tonight, but unfortunately, I couldn't see it." ”

Liu Xiu looked up and smiled, and said, "If Bo Ji wants to see it, what's the difficulty, tomorrow I will let them go to the princess's mansion to cheer up Bo Ji's performance." ”

Liu Boji said with a smile: "It's better for the imperial brother to treat me!" ”

Liu Xiu and Liu Boji talked and laughed, and accidentally found that Liu Huang was a little wrong.

Liu Huang tonight is extraordinarily taciturn.

He asked puzzledly, "What is on the mind of the imperial sister?" ”

Liu Huang glanced at Liu Xiu, shook his head slowly, and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu became even more nervous, and asked with a solemn face: "Eldest sister, what happened?" ”

After being silent for a while, Liu Huangfang slowly spoke: "Ah Xiu, Ah Sister is going to the fiefdom. ”

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned, and they all showed surprise.

Liu Xiu was also surprised, and asked, "The imperial sister lives well in the capital, why do you suddenly want to go back to the fiefdom?" ”

After a pause, he asked with a calm face, "But who bullied Sister A?"

Sister told me that I would go to him to settle accounts! ”

Liu Huang glanced at Liu Xiu, Luoyang Ling Dong Xuan had bullied her at the beginning, and I didn't see how you, the emperor, punished him.

Liu Huang said slowly: "I have been concentrating on the study of Taoism recently, the capital is prosperous, and there are many mundane things, which is not suitable for my cultivation. ”

Liu Xiu's face was dazed, he subconsciously looked at Liu Boji, and asked her with his eyes, when did the eldest sister start to specialize in Taoism?

Liu Boji pursed her lips at Liu Xiu, saying that she didn't know very well.

Liu Huang's title is the eldest princess of Huyang, and her fief is naturally Huyang County.

Huyang is located in Nanyang, not far from Luoyang, but Liu Xiu still doesn't want the eldest sister to return to the fiefdom.

Now their sister and brother can meet at any time if they want to meet, once the eldest sister goes to the Huyang fiefdom, it will be difficult to meet again.

Liu Xiu persuaded and said: "The eldest sister returned to Huyang alone, how can I rest assured, the eldest sister should stay in the capital!" ”

"Yes, eldest sister will listen to Your Majesty!"

Guo Shengtong walked to Liu Huang's side, knelt down, and took her arm.

Liu Huang first smiled at Guo Shengtong, patted the back of her hand, and then said to Liu Xiu: "Ah Xiu, the eldest sister has made up her mind. ”

Liu Xiu wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, pondered for a moment, and said, "Even if Sister wants to go back to Huyang, at least wait until the princess's mansion is built in Huyang!" ”

Liu Huang shook his head and said, "I don't need the Princess's Mansion. ”

"Huh?"

"I just need to live in the Taoist Temple, I have already thought of the name of the Taoist Temple, Lianzhen Palace!"

Liu Huang said on the ground.

Liu Xiu's face was helpless.

Liu Huang asked, "Would the emperor be willing to help Sister Ah build the Refining Palace?" ”

He smiled wryly and said, "I listen to Sister." ”

Liu Huang nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and walked out flutteringly.

Liu Xiu and Liu Boji glanced at each other, and they didn't know what Liu Huang was stimulated.

Liu Xiu raised his hand, and Xuying outside the hall walked in and said to Liu Xiu: "Your Majesty! ”

"Go and check it out immediately, who has the imperial sister been in contact with recently!"

's own sister, can Liu Xiu not understand?

It is impossible for Liu Huang to return to the fiefdom to cultivate the truth for no reason, something must have happened, or he was bewitched by someone.
