Chapter 199: The first meeting of the imperial sister-in-law and the younger brother
The head of the drama troupe ran over in a few steps, and roared fiercely: "Hmph, the first time you learn it, you dare to go on stage and play the drums, do you know which play you are singing?" This is a performance for the princess's first birthday, in fact, this is also the dance art that the actors dedicate to long live and the girls, today, there is the emperor's favorite concubine to perform in person, if you spoil the emperor's good mood, how to atone for your sins, how many lives do you have to redeem? I see that you are dressed like a boy, but you are doing such a thing that you can't help up, you are called planting taro on the field - layman. (Note: å, because it is the same as "shooting.") īš
Zhao Ji was about to escape, so he grabbed him and said, "Boy, where are you going?"
"I'm my brother-in-law, spare me this time." Zhao Ji didn't dare to make a mistake loudly, knowing that he was at a loss, he blushed and begged for mercy in a low voice.
Empress Dowager Xiang and maid Zheng Huiying also hurried over.
"Class master, forget it, young man, it's impulsive." The Queen Mother spoke.
Emperor Xu and Concubine Wen also stepped forward, and Zhao Ji lowered his head, as if he was carrying a boulder around his neck.
"Say hello to the Queen Mother!" All those present knelt on the ground and saluted, and they were right.
After the imperial concubine gave the salute, "This is the royal brother Zhao Ji, the concubine, this recklessness makes you laugh." Zhao Xu explained.
"Brother Ji, this is your imperial sister-in-law, Concubine Wen, and also the queen of the Great Song Dynasty in the world."
"Brother Huang, sister-in-law, don't punish Brother Wei, Brother Wei is also to show his intentions, and he only wants to add color to the celebration of his niece's celebration week." Before the words came out, Zhao Ji's heart had already been beating wildly like a drum, and he was holding down with his hot right hand in embarrassment, holding it down, in fact, it was just scratching the boots, and the blood all over his body had already gushed up, hot and hot, as if the maids were boiling water, almost boiling, heavens, the hot blood had all rushed to the top of his head, and the soles of his feet became light, how could he ever feel this feeling?
As soon as he heard the "Great Song Wenhou", Zhao Ji stirred up a thin layer of ripples in his heart, and asked abruptly: "Brother Huang, sister-in-law, Brother Wei still has something unclear, what did this foreman just say, 'Planting taro on the field - layman', how do you understand it?" Despite his efforts to resolve the embarrassment, he still couldn't hide the shame on his face.
Concubine Wen was really funny when she saw this stunned young man, but she was also a little pitiful, and said understandingly: "It turns out that the virtuous brother is a studious person who doesn't know how to ask, so good, just in case we sit down and talk slowly, and let the troupe take a breath." â
Seeing that at this time, Fuqing and Rutian were already tired, Xia Hua and Huang Ying shared their worries for the masters with interest, and took them to rest, and the imperial concubines planned to continue to stay to enjoy this performance of court and folk friendship.
"Brother, this proverb should be explained in this way, the whole paddy field is full of rice, so I have to plant a line of taro on the ridge, the ridge is the field in the post-break language, although the field is saved, but it has also become another line of crops, and it can't be melted into the rice."
"What a well-spoken imperial sister-in-law, there is also a deep meaning hidden in it, can't I melt into the life of the queen's sister-in-law in my life?" Zhao Ji thought to himself, and sat there stunned.
Seeing Zhao Ji's demeanor, Emperor Xu was also confused, in order to resolve the embarrassment of the imperial brother, he caught a glimpse of the two big characters "theater" in the court, and took the initiative to say: "Concubines, royal brothers, you immediately think of a good name for me to replace the word 'theater'." â
Everyone stopped squeaking, most of them had no ink on their chests, and the eighth sister also wanted to watch a good show. Although Zhao Ji has a few points of ink, he doesn't dare to show off in front of Concubine Wen, otherwise, if he looks down on himself, it will be worth the loss. Moreover, Zhao Ji was strongly jealous of the love days after the imperial brother and the beautiful fairy and fell in love, and his heart has been up and down, it is difficult to be quiet, let alone half a minute of meditation.
"It's really boring, when I was a child, I argued with the emperor's brother about love, but now, why my brother is silent is really hard for me to understand." Emperor Xu frowned tightly.
"The dragon has a phoenix heart, the husband sings and the wife follows, and the micro brother really has self-knowledge." Zhao Ji looked for a downhill step for himself and retreated.
"Aifei, you're still the only one out of the horse."
"I think that my Great Song Dynasty is really a happy country, from the bazaar, everywhere to watch all kinds of performances of the Washe Goulan, different sizes of the shed, up to the official lavish banquets, halls, theaters and buildings, in the opera and listening to music, has long forgotten all kinds of unhappiness in life, so happy to forget the place, is not for the family or relatives and friends to find that happy time? The concubines will be long live, and the Song royal family will be renamed 'Good Times'. â
"Good time, good emperor, good queen, great, I really can't wait to change the name of my drama troupe to 'good time', let's stop our drama troupe today, I see that this brother is not in good spirits, so let's rest early, and we will come to enjoy the palace performance tomorrow night."
"Since the head of the class has such a preference for good names, then the palace will think of a name for the head of the class, how about calling it the 'Qiongtai' theater troupe? Neither competing with the royal family for the limelight, but also class. â
"Thank you for the kind-hearted and extraordinary Concubine Wen Niangniang Chrysostom for giving her name, the old student will be unforgettable, I wish the royal family all the best! Never again! The master thanked him excitedly, almost incoherently.
In the evening, Emperor Xu couldn't wait to ask about today's anecdotes about catching Zhou, and Concubine Wen poured beans from the bamboo tube and generally put them out. Emperor Xu exclaimed: "With this princess in this life, how full my heart is, how full!" It was shocking to say to me when I was a child: 'Since you are human, why be afraid?' 'There is a similar effect, this is my authentic inheritance. â
"Naturally, it coincides with 'dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and jade trees can only bloom Qionghua.'" In a word. â
"I remember a saying that 'dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the children of mice make holes.'" â
"Where is it, today is a great day, naturally we can only speak of auspicious words, otherwise, it is a lack of reverence for heaven and earth, which is inappropriate." Concubine Wen replied without humility or arrogance in the midst of the flowing water.
"The little princess of Fuqing can have such calmness, and it is inseparable from the essence of the concubine's talent, just wait for the reward tonight." âĻâĻ
"In order to find the beauty of Zhezhi Dance in history, the concubine also specially appreciated Bai Juyi's famous poem, 'The beauty of the Zhejia family is especially delicate, and the prince and grandson suddenly forget to return.'" Long live, you should follow these dancers, you are so infatuated, the concubine's heart is so heavy. â
"You call it 'get cheap and sell well.'" Emperor Xu said with a smile.
"Many folk sayings, Banzai even know it, it is really a good emperor who is close to the people, and I can't imagine that Banzai also has a royal brother, which is 'meeting relatives halfway through the road - happy meeting.'" Somehow, hearing this, Emperor Xu inexplicably felt a trace of jealousy in his heart.
It was night, and Zhao Ji, who was terrified, also pondered repeatedly in the hidden inner world: how can I have the ultimate happiness like the royal brother, and the queen uses the moon flower as the hem of the phoenix dress, what does this mean? The other imperial concubines are all peonies, peacock feathers or longevity flowers. The glamorous beauty is so strange: so far away, it turns out to be a layer of spring water and autumn waves on the tender baby-like skin of the imperial sister-in-law, could it be that the coolness is blown over with the wind?
Zhao Ji couldn't sleep for a long time, so much so that he really had a sweet dream for a while, and actually staged a big scene vividly. 'In the middle of the night, I dreamed of being an emperor - a moment of happiness is a moment. I didn't expect that from then on, the literati would move it to make a break as it was, which Zhao Ji never expected.
