Chapter 200: "Up, Up?"
Hello, I'm Xiaomian.
It's a very simple greeting, but Bai He is a little unsure of how to interface.
Tai Nima shocked Ariki Yu!
"I have a green dragon on the left, a white tiger on the right, and the old cow is ...... on the chest" Tang Bohu's lines of Qiu Xiang are familiar to everyone, leaving aside the pure spoof of the old cow, Suzaku is one of the four elephants standing side by side with the green dragon and the white tiger, and the other is Xuanwu.
Many people think of the Suzaku as a phoenix, or a type of phoenix, but in fact, as one of the four elephants, the Suzaku is very different from the phoenix. The simplest and most straightforward explanation is: the phoenix is auspicious, and the vermilion bird is the firebird. Shirakawa thought it was a phoenix at first, until he heard the people around him shouting, "See Suzaku-sama."
He looked at Xiao Mian in front of him, and really wanted to ask: After the founding of the country, he said that he would not be allowed to become a fine man?
"You are Lin Wanqing?" Xiao Mian asked Miss Er.
"Lin Wanqing, a folk girl, has seen Lord Suzaku."
The second lady's performance was obviously not as earthy as Bai He, and she bowed generously. It was just a subconscious move when she just drew her sword, but now that she saw Xiao Mian, her vigilance had already disappeared.
In fact, Xiaomian's existence has never been a secret.
Everyone knows that there is a vermilion bird beside the Holy Queen, who can transform into a human form, named Xiaomian. Before the Holy Queen ascended the throne, she was the little maid beside her, and after the Holy Queen ascended the throne, she was the most unruly little palace maid around her.
It's not the first time Xiao Mian has done it, and it won't be the last, as long as she is a native of the Great Zhou, she has more or less heard her rumors, and the Shendu people are even more accustomed to it, and only Baihe, a traverser, would make such a fuss.
"Well, when I saw you in Jinling back then, you were only so ......" Xiao Mian said and gestured, but she was not tall, and now the second lady is a head taller than her.
“…… Now you're an adult, huh...... Sixteen-year-old little grandmaster, good, good! Xiao Mian then finished speaking, praised it, turned his head to look at Bai He, and then pointed to his towering hair and asked, "This is Mei Niang's hairstyle?" ”
...... charming, charming?
As soon as Bai He finished digesting the shock in his heart, he was instantly held up again.
"Yes."
As soon as he nodded, Xiao Mian suddenly smiled, and then her hair stood on end, like a fluttering flame...... Well, it's not hair at all, it's a flame condensed by flames, it's just that there are too many of them, they're too dense, so they look like hair.
Then Xiao Mian asked the second lady: "Is it like it?" ”
The second lady was choked by her genius, and was stunned for a long time before squeezing out a sentence: "Lord Suzaku is very skillful......
"Hee-hee-hee......"
Xiao Mian smiled, as if she had had enough fun, and then said to the two: "Mei Niang has been waiting for you for a long time, she knows that you have arrived in the divine capital, so she ordered me to pick up people, come with me." As he spoke, he jumped into the dog cart and led Bai He into the dark and narrow city cave.
Watching San Roll and the seven fierce dogs under his command pull the car away, Fang Cai laughed at the man and suddenly knelt down with a "snap", the reason for which is needless to say.
- Even the holy queen has been waiting for a long time, if he is a dirt bun, how old is he?
"Qing'er, this Suzaku-sama...... Do you know? In the carriage, Bai He quietly asked the second lady.
"Hmm." The second lady nodded, and replied softly, "She went to Jinling once with the Holy Empress back then, and I saw it once at that time, but I didn't expect that five years later, she would still remember me." ”
"I guess it's because of your air domain...... There is no one in ten thousand who has a qi domain, the Lin family has a door and three qi domains, and it can be regarded as a wealthy family in the entire Great Zhou, it is not surprising that she remembers you, not to mention that the eldest lady has also fought the world with the holy queen, and Linglong is even the one who does not hesitate to treat the holy queen as the prime minister......"
Bai He thought so, Che Yu had already walked out of the city cave, and in an instant, the sea and the sky were wide, and the breath of the world came to his face.
"I'm Nima!"
Although he has long been accustomed to this world that is very different from the historical records, and has long been accustomed to the bustling nightlife of Jinling, the moment he walked out of the city cave, Baihe was still shocked.
Boisterous.
The Shendu in the twilight is full of excitement.
The wall made of Suzaku mud was extremely wide, thick, and long, and it seemed to be kept out not only by foreign enemies, but also at night.
I saw that the streets in the city were spacious, enough for eight horses to gallop in parallel, and the lanterns on both sides illuminated the flat bluestone pavement like day, and the pedestrians on the streets were like weaving, or talking about the scriptures, or pointing to the sky and talking about the day. When people talk, they must not leave words such as "looking at the world" and "I am a great week".
The capital of a country, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the weather is not comparable to Jinling, and even the vision of the people in the capital is superior.
In the streets, men dressed in dashing swords walked with swords, their golden spikes fluttering in the wind, looking like a tall swordsman. But when he saw juggling on the side of the street, the man would stop and huddle with a group of big girls, staring nervously, and then clapping his palms red and applauding loudly.
But when the juggler collected the money, he returned to the cold appearance of the swordsman, which means that the people in the rivers and lakes are valuable, and I am optimistic about you, so I support your field, but it would be vulgar for you to mention money to me.
Jinling's sister paper is dressed boldly, but the gods are not far behind, and even win.
It was the end of July, and the night breeze was a little cooler, but the girls were dressed even cooler than the wind. Some bold and charming young women actually walked around the street wearing a bandeau top, and those big white steamed buns and long legs provoked Bai He to suffer from the "gentle caresses" of the second lady.
On the street, the bearded people with their chests tied to their wine bags, some looked around curiously, some leaned on the railing upstairs to watch the stars and drink, and some pretended to laugh heroically for some reason.
The smell of rice wafting from nowhere, mixed with the sour smell of sweat and hormones, diffuses in every corner of the divine capital, making people feel intoxicated.
I don't know the sound of silk and bamboo from He's house, the melody is melodious, accompanied by a shout from the east and a laugh from the west, and the sound is in the ears.
Shendu is such a city.
It seems that the grace and bearing of the whole world are concentrated in this majestic city, where magnificence and gentleness coexist, and swords and beauties dance together. Its style is far better than the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen that Baihe has been to or seen in his previous life.
The old god Xiao Mian was sitting on the wheel, and he was already used to all this.
But Bai He, who was ridiculed just now and said that it was a dirt bun from nowhere, is really a dirt bun now. The second lady is not the first time to come to Shendu, but the last time she came, Shendu was not Shendu, but Luoyang.
The couple looked out of the car window, but they were shocked and couldn't stop exclaiming. Xiao Mian listened to their exclamations outside the car, but was a little curious in her heart.
Although it is true that she proposed that the Holy Queen summon Bai He to meet the driver, but he is such a dirt bun, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a person of literary style. Occasionally, he even uttered a sentence or two of foul language such as "", which is simply vulgar according to the standards of Shendu!
"How did such a person write a book like "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals"? Could this be what human beings often call wisdom and foolishness? ”
I don't know how far and long, but the lights are still bright, but the number of pedestrians on the street is gradually decreasing.
Suddenly, two rows of willow shades obscured the view, but behind the willow shades, you could still see the heavily guarded moat, and the imperial city behind the moat.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is the first male country in the world, the divine capital is the first male city in the world, and the imperial palace is naturally the first majestic palace in the world.
The holy queen was born as a woman, and the palace was described by the word "Xiongqi", or it was a little weird. But the palace inherits her invincible magnificence in the world, so there are no seventy-two concubines in the three palaces, six courtyards, and it is not a romantic and noble place formed by flowing fat, but it is more like a majestic pass standing in the center of the divine capital.
The vermilion wall is thick, the yellow eaves are like a sword, and the end is a myriad of weather, magnificent and solemn.
In the distance, I saw an altar-like building, towering like a sharp sword in the setting sun, which was the tallest building in the divine capital, and it was Gan Terrace. A red figure floated on it, quietly watching the world and the dog cart coming.
Under the leadership of Suzaku-sama, there is no obstacle to traffic. However, instead of entering through the main entrance, they followed the moat in a half-circle, and then drove in through a very inconspicuous side door.
The dog cart entered the palace like this.
I don't know how many turns I turned, my vision was all blocked by the high walls and cornices on both sides, and I could only see the night sky cut by the eaves corners, and Baihe didn't have a chance to see the whole palace at all, but felt that the palace inside was extremely high.
It's almost as high as the sky.
When I entered the city, it was just twilight, but when I entered the palace, it was already late at night, and the size of the divine capital was evident from this.
"You can stay here tonight, tomorrow morning, someone will naturally summon you to go to the court." Xiao Mian took the two of them to a side hall without a plaque and commanded.
"Up, up?" Bai He was stunned, isn't this the ancient version of the State Council Conference?
I thought that the Holy Queen summoned me, at most, to meet in private, and then what to do, after finishing the business, if the Holy Queen had no other instructions, then it could be withdrawn. But I didn't expect that it was the rhythm of the dynasty as soon as it came up.
"But......" He wanted to say something, but Xiao Mian left directly after speaking, and didn't give him a chance to speak.
Then a few palace maids came out of nowhere, and they had already been instructed to take the two of them to bathe and eat, and then talked about some rules when facing saints, such as light steps, speaking quietly, not loud noise, no free movement, no open defecation, etc......
There are many rules in the palace, and I don't know if they are tired or not, anyway, Bai He is quite tired when he listens to it, and he doesn't remember much at all, so he nodded his head for a while, looking like he was fishing.
It was already early in the morning when I survived in such a hurry.
Perhaps because they thought that the two were husband and wife, the palace maids arranged the two of them in the same room to rest very "intimately", and told them that if they needed anything, they would wait outside and so on, and then left, leaving only the two of them in the same room.
Like sleeping with a beautiful woman, of course, Baihe will not refuse those who can't ask for it, but the problem is that the beauty refuses.
However, in the past few days, along the way, the two of them have been grinding in the same carriage, and they have long been in love with each other, except for the last step, they have almost done what should be done and what should not be done, and it is not difficult to accept. In this way, spending the night in the palace, a good thing that many people could never dream of, was honored to be paved by Baihe.
Although it is only more than 700 kilometers, he is not a big master like the second miss, he has been tired for a few days, and he is already tired, and he has not spoken a word with the second miss, and he snores unconsciously.
And the second lady had insomnia all night.
For example, if one day *** suddenly invites you to meet and entertains you to spend the night in the Forbidden City, you can sleep in exchange for you?
She had the heart to go outside and see the style of the imperial city, but she didn't dare to think about it. There are guards patrolling the outside all the time, and if you get caught, it's no joke. She shouted a few times, "Baihe, have you slept?" but all she answered was even breathing and a slight snoring.
"This Dead Man......"
The lights in the hall outside were reflected in the room through the bead curtains, but the faint light fully illuminated the eyes of the second lady. The night is long, how can you relieve boredom? Only look at the book......
She hadn't finished reading the 400,000-word manuscript that Bai He brought, but now it's just right......
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, oh no, it was the middle of the night by the standards of the White River. It was only four o'clock in the middle of the night, and someone had already come to summon him to go to the court. It was not the palace maids who came to summon last night, but a yin and yang man walking with his legs between his legs - a eunuch.
Although they are all in the court on the fifth watch, that is, around five o'clock in the morning, there has always been a reason that there are only courtiers and other masters, where is there a reason for masters and other courtiers?
Being an official is a kind of knowledge, and being an official in ancient times was even more of a university question.
Of course, the sooner the better, if you come early, it is easy to be caught and interrogated by the guards, and if you come late, you will be attacked by political enemies if you are not careful, saying that you are disrespectful to the monarch or something, and you will lose your head in minutes. Therefore, experienced officials usually wait outside the imperial city gate in advance, just wait for the city gate to open and enter the palace in a hurry, and then wait for a while, or a colleague to pull a relationship, or play with political opponents to kill time, wait for ten minutes, the saint will appear on the stage, start the court meeting.
This is in line with the golden mean of the Chinese people.
This eunuch, who is called Gonggong Chen, is a very mediocre person.
He was an old man who had been serving in the palace during the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty, and his experience was very sophisticated, and Lord Suzaku Xiaomian knew that Baihe and the others did not understand the rules of the palace, so he specially ordered him to pick up people.
He pinched the time, came to the side hall where Baihe stayed on time at four o'clock, thinking about washing up and going to the toilet for fifteen minutes, walking from this side to the Vientiane Shrine (that is, the place of the upper court) for about thirty-five minutes, and waiting for about ten minutes, the holy queen would go to the court on time at five o'clock, just right.
The abacus was quite wishful, but when he came and looked down, he was speechless and choked on the spot - this guy in front of him was still sleeping!
