Chapter 337: Picking the Stars and Looking at the Moon
Stepping on the artemisia grass that grows from the scorched earth, there is also a palace hall ten miles away from the Shahua Youting, which looks quite like the style of the Liang Dynasty architecture from the outside, but it is very different from the style of the Lower Tang Dynasty. There are two palaces in this palace surrounded by a circle of black earth walls, the two identical palaces are connected by an arch bridge, and outside the palace is a courtyard that imitates the water potential of the mountains and rivers of the Liang Dynasty.
Walking into this palace, you will be greeted by lush forests and bamboos, even in the lower Tang Dynasty in the winter of Xiao Suo, this palace is still full of greenery, and you can follow the cobblestone path to reach the main entrance of the palace. Standing in the courtyard, what I heard was the murmuring of the stream and the cry of a warbler; What you can see is a relaxing verdant greenery.
"It is said that the Liang Dynasty occupies the best mountains and rivers and climate in the world, although I did not go to the Liang Dynasty in person, but I can feel the weather by virtue of the mountains and rivers here, what kind of scenery would it be if I could really seize the land of the Liang Dynasty all year round?"
"King Khan has worked hard to achieve it one day."
"Effort? Hahaha, Ling Yi, your words from the Liang Dynasty are really appropriate. So what are we today? Oh, by the way, I remember there was a Liang Dynasty word to describe it, called a visit! ”
Qi Diao Le laughed loudly, and then directly pushed open the gate of the palace. The name of this palace is Xingyue Tower, and the origin of the name is based on these two same pavilions, and the owner of this palace took such a poetic name after the old man.
Walking into the moon tower, there are two palace maids on the first floor, and when they saw Qi Diaole walking in, they didn't panic much, but lifted their skirts and walked up to the palace with dignity and generosity. One of the palace servants said: "The slave maid is seeing the king of Khan, and Da Kedun is painting on the wind platform. ”
"Da Kedun is so leisurely, I have always admired it!" Qi Carving Le was raising his feet and walking towards the second floor.
On the second floor of this moon tower is the wind platform in the palace mouth, the reason why it is so called is because there are no walls on all four sides of this floor, just blocked by various colored screens, sometimes part of the screen will be removed, and the wind will go back and forth wantonly on this empty ground. When the wind blows, the curtains hanging on the edge of the caisson dance lightly in the wind, like a fairyland.
When he was stepping on the wind platform, he happened to encounter a gust of wind, and the drapery immediately fluttered, and he vaguely saw a woman sitting on the ground with a paintbrush in her hand. If the woman is painting, then she herself has already merged with this wind platform into a beautiful enough painting.
Different from the desolation and rudeness of the Lower Tang Dynasty, this painting gives Lacquer Carving Lezheng the feeling of a smoke and rain ink painting in the south of the Yangtze River, which is a scenery he has never experienced, and it is a different scenery that he has always wanted to occupy.
"No wonder my father likes you so much, even I have to admire it." Qi Carving was walking up to the woman's side and began to examine her painting carefully. When the light hits the woman's face, people can see that the woman is no longer a young girl of twenty-eight years, and her face and temperament are telling the world that she is already a middle-aged woman with charm.
However, if people think that this is just an ordinary middle-aged woman whose appearance has decayed, it is very wrong. The charm of the woman is not comparable to the average woman, her appearance is beautiful and refined, not dyed with fat powder but has a graceful and generous momentum, although she is sitting upright, but the indescribable luxury of the whole body is impossible for anyone to ignore, even including lacquer carving. With this woman, this wind platform really becomes a wind platform, and all the plain colors around can look graceful under the embellishment of the woman.
Zhuo Lingyi didn't get close, her appearance was already one of the best in the Lower Tang Palace, but in the face of this woman, she didn't dare to make a mistake at will, and she didn't even have the courage to approach her, although this palace can be regarded as a cold palace.
Qi Diaole is already familiar with this woman, he has not paid attention to the woman from the beginning, he has been paying attention to the painting that the woman is doing. The woman in the painting is also a woman, this woman's eyebrows are picturesque but heroic, she perfectly inherits the tradition of the women of the Tang Dynasty, unlike the women of the Liang Dynasty who linger in the female red all day long, but a strong suit riding a horse and galloping. The figure has messy hair in the wind, a ruddy face, and a bright smile on his face, and behind him is a continuous landscape of mountains and endless grasslands, and there seems to be a surging sea in the distance. But these scenes are just a foil to the people in the painting, and her retrospective smile is the magic stroke that turns the picture into a smart stroke.
The woman finally added a thick touch of ink to the lips of the person in the painting, and after tracing the bright red lips, the woman put down the brush. "How, does the Khan look like?"
Qi Diao Lezheng's face was not so good-looking, he paused and said: "Da Kedun's painting skills are naturally not mentioned, and it is difficult for anyone to match you in the Tang Dynasty." ”
The "King of Khan" woman got up slowly, and only after folding her skirt did she give a palace salute, "If the King of Khan likes this painting, take it away." ”
"People are gone, what are you going to paint for? No matter how similar the painting is, it can't bring back the old man, Da Kedun, do you say yes? ”
"Women have always been kind-hearted, and they will not hesitate to give their lives to the man they love. King Khan, you are the one who knows Sakura best, don't you say? ”
Qi Diaole was not going to continue on this topic, he stood in front of this painting and blocked the painting with his body, and then said to the woman: "Da Kedun has been married into the Tang Dynasty for fifteen years, do you still remember your hometown?" Do you want to go back to the place where you grew up? ”
"Isn't the Khan's ambition to rule the world? When the Khan King accomplishes his goal, won't I be able to go back and watch it naturally? ”
"That's nature! There are some things I still want to tell you, Da Kedun. We originally planned to make peace with the Liang Dynasty, but we actually killed the cherry blossom I sent, which is what the Liang Dynasty did wrong, and I also ordered the army to attack the Liang Dynasty in order to appease the anger of the people in the country, and now half of the land of the Liang Dynasty is already under my Tang. ”
Qi Diaole was deliberately looking at the woman's face with great interest, but to his disappointment, there was no change in the expression on the woman's face. The woman said lightly: "The whole world will be the Khan King's, so how can these cities be placed in the eyes of the Khan King?" But when that day comes, will the Khan still think of his father? ”
Zhuo Lingyi looked at Qidiao Lezheng nervously, this topic is really no one else in the Tang Dynasty except this woman who dares to mention it on the front of Qidiao Le.
"Don't worry, when that day comes, I will definitely send Da Kedun to meet your Khan King." Qi Diaole was turning around and kicked over the drawing board, he glanced at it coldly and then said: "Da Ke Dun, the Liang Dynasty dared to slaughter my soldiers under the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely not give up on this account, if Da Ke Dun does not want to see the lives of his home country ruined, then go and persuade the emperor of the Liang Dynasty to follow Da Ke Dun in any way." ”
Qi Diao Lezheng didn't plan to continue wasting time here, he suddenly thought of something after walking two steps, turned around and said: "By the way, Da Kedun has been in Xingyue Tower for too long, once he leaves here, many people may not be familiar with it, let Ling Yi help with this matter!" ”
The sound of hurried footsteps reached the woman's ears, and the originally relaxed look on the woman's face immediately dimmed, she picked up the painting and stroked the picture with her hand, until the two palace people returned to the wind platform, and the woman waved her hand to stop the palace people from coming to help.
"Da Kedun?"
"Don't call me that when no one is there, we are all people of Daliang, and now we have been trapped in Xia Tang for so many years, and all we can rely on is ourselves. Originally, I thought that sacrificing myself could be exchanged for the peace of the two countries is also a kind of merit, but since Qi Diaole is usurping the throne, the Tang Dynasty is approaching the edge of the cliff step by step, and the day when the country will be destroyed and the species will not be far away. ”
A gust of wind blew and blew away the woman's hair, and the hairpin on the back of the head was originally very loose, so the blow fell directly, and a long hair like a waterfall shook off her shoulders, so that the woman was really a woman with a beam.
"I am the eldest princess of Daliang, and I have never forgotten my mission in the fifteen years since I married into the Tang Dynasty, and now I can't stand by and watch at this time." After the woman finished speaking, there was a kind of perseverance in her eyes, which was very similar to the person in the painting.
