Chapter 448: Opportunity

Last night, Princess Taiping let her be the master, and Du Xian said another word from His Royal Highness, so Du Xinmei's fate was decided, and she had no part to speak. But this qiē is all taken for granted.

Today's dinner should be to legally marry her to the King of Jin, and it is a banquet to celebrate joy. Du Xinmei arrived at the banquet hall in the front hall, and sure enough, she saw that the red lanterns and red paper-cuts arranged the gorgeous palace room with warm colors, which was exactly that kind of atmosphere.

Guests entered one after another, and the air was filled with joy as the light and beautiful music was played. The environment is undoubtedly very beautiful, the gorgeous palace decoration and the beautiful action of the palace maid make it seem like the fairy palace is not stained with a trace of mortal dust, it turns out that between the palace and the folk is actually two completely different worlds, there is no poverty and no labor here, as if the flowers are blooming in all seasons.

The antique mullioned window is pasted with red paper, there is a picture of the plum snow scene on the screen, and the red candles are densely lit on the copper frame, red is the most color, and then purple, gold, a rich and noble style. At this time, a "fairy" dressed in a light-colored long-sleeved skirt danced on the wooden platform, the soft sleeves were gently flicked, and the beautiful posture was reflected on the picture on the screen, and suddenly it seemed that there were snowflakes falling on the platform, and it seemed that the white clouds in the sky had descended into the palace.

Everyone watched the dance and listened to the music and waited for a while, and then they heard the people on the other side of the door talking, and the guests and ladies all got up from their seats to salute, only to see a group of people hugging and hugging Princess Taiping, who was wearing a bright red dress and full of jewels and makeup, came in. The grandeur of the scene made Du Xinmei a little dizzy, but the most eye-catching thing was obviously Princess Taiping, who surrounded her and set off her, and everyone couldn't help but pay attention to her. Princess Taiping had a smug look, and she was very useful for such a scene.

When Princess Taiping walked to the throne in the middle of the screen, Du Xinmei noticed that a tall man was bending down and gently supporting her. Rao is the man is tall, but he didn't have a peaceful pomp to cover it up just now, and only now did people notice him.

The man was not ostentatious at all, but when Du Xinmei noticed him, he was deeply impressed at first sight, mainly because the action of him supporting Princess Taiping was too ...... Du Xinmei can't say what it feels like, it's just very special, as if Princess Taiping is a piece of ice that will slip off in her mouth, and like she is a glass person, she will break when she touches it, so she has to be careful and gentle. If that person is a woman and not so abrupt, but the person who makes this appearance is a tall man with a noticeable beard on his mouth, how can people not feel that the contrast is weird?

Who is this person? Du Xinmei easily thought: Could it be the King of Jin?

Most of the time it's him, who else can be with the man who can stay with Taiping in this palace except her son, if it is the emperor's etiquette, it is not like this, and the emperor will not wear a purple robe.

So she couldn't help but take a few more looks, but seeing that Xue Chongxun had an elegant demeanor and was not at all like that crude martial artist, Du Xinmei was relieved, but she breathed a sigh of relief, and her face was a little more bloody.

At this moment, Princess Taiping asked, "What about Du Miniang?" ”

Hearing this, Du Xinmei hurriedly stood up and bowed, and the people around her all cast their eyes, and she felt very uncomfortable with her naked and half-bulging breasts. But seeing that those noble ladies were also dressed like this, but they stretched their necks straight and deliberately held Bai Shengsheng's chest without feeling ashamed at all, she was encouraged, and secretly took a breath to make herself natural and generous.

Princess Taiping said, "You come to me." ”

When all the ladies heard this, their eyes were full of envy. Du Xinmei replied "yes" unhurriedly, maintaining the family's demeanor and peaceful spirit, and left the stage from her seat. The princess sat on the wooden platform, a cut above the middle of the hall, behind the dancing courtesans and beauties. After Du Xinmei walked up, she suddenly found that Xue Chongxun was staring at her chest unscrupulously!

In front of so many people, she felt as uncomfortable as if she didn't have any clothes on. Her impression of Xue Chongxun suddenly dropped by more than half, and she only felt that this person had no gentlemanly manners, and he must be a prodigal son, so she couldn't help but feel a trace of disgust.

She walked in front of Princess Taiping, and Princess Taiping pointed at Xue Chongxun and said, "You sit with Chongxun." Du Xinmei didn't dare to show her feelings, and still saluted Xue Chongxun. Xue Chongxun only said a word lightly, but his eyes had already looked at Du Xinmei's cleavage several times.

He only felt that this little lady was not very old, and her were developing so well, and he didn't think about anything else, just thinking that he would soon be able to play with it at will, and he felt very happy.

In Xue Chongxun's view, the whole marriage and pomp is like a game, it is nothing more than the Du family climbing up, and at the same time, Princess Taiping is pulling together a force, and everyone is playing a political game. But it's cheaper, and there are beautiful women to play with, and it's a beautiful family, a good thing that ordinary people can't think of.

The dinner party continued, in addition to singing and dancing to promote peace and have fun, the princes, ministers, and court ladies also flattered each other, or mixed with a little unpleasantness, but they didn't dare to make a fuss in front of Princess Taiping. In fact, Xue Chongxun felt that this kind of banquet was very boring and boring, and the gathering could not gather real friendship, and people with a little status would show off their ...... Anyway, he usually rarely speaks on such occasions and appears to be obscure. Only last year, he accidentally got drunk and messed too much, but he also found that as long as his status was enough, no matter how nonsense he was, it was not a problem.

In short, what he is looking forward to now is to wait for the boring banquet to end and bring home the lady of the Du family next to him.

……

Du Xian's youngest daughter became the concubine of King Jin, and the relationship took another step, and she usually walked around the kingdom more frequently. Originally, Du Xian was a capable person, Xue Chongxun intended to win over, and now he is happy to make it like this. Once hinted that Du Xian wanted him to step down from his post in Helong and transfer him back to the military department.

The effect of nepotism is immediate. But at this time, Du Xian's friend Zhang Shilang gave him another idea: don't enter the military department.

Among them, Du Xian really didn't understand it, in his opinion, transferring back to Beijing to enter the three provinces and six departments was a proud step on the way, why did Zhang Shilang let him refuse? However, this Zhang Shilang's strategy has some tricks, and Du Xian has already seen it.

Zhang Shilang's name is Zhang Xiaozhen, and he is the cousin of Zhang Xiaosong, a general in the northwest, and both brothers are proficient in the art of war, but his younger brother is obviously more intelligent in officialdom and has a lot of talent.

Zhang Xiaozhen said to Du Xian: "If you are transferred to Jingshi, of course, it is a great thing, don't think about it; But now there is another opportunity. You can't grab both, you have to choose, you have to give up! ”

Du Xian hurriedly asked: "Another opportunity refers to the use of troops in the north?" ”

Zhang Xiaozhen nodded and said: "I have long been clear in the military department, and the use of troops against the Turks is a foregone conclusion. In this battle, the king of Jin is determined to win, and he will definitely use a large number of troops and national strength to regain face, and the chance of winning the war is very great, so the opportunity is too good to be better. Don't be an officer of the military department, compared to that road, you will rise as slowly as a turtle. It is best to fight the Turks with the King of Jin, and then enter Beijing after making meritorious contributions in Anbei, and the background is different, coupled with the kinship with the Xue family, it will be easy to go out. ”

When Du Xian pondered, Zhang Xiaozhen said again: "Unless the secretary of the military department is ordered to lead the troops as the main general, where is the civilian official of the military department to be the general?" So if you want to lead the troops, you can't enter the military department, that's what I mean by trade-offs. ”

Du Xian said: "Zhang Shilang woke up with a word, and said from the bottom of his heart, Du Mou's entry into Beijing this time is thanks to you." ”

Zhang Xiaozhen said with a smile: "What is the relationship between the two of us, just say this...... When Brother Du is famous, we will also marry the daughter of the Zhang family to the lintel of your mansion. ”

Du Xian laughed and said: "It's easy to say, it's a blessing that the boy of the Du family can be a woman of the Shilang family." ”Q
