Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Phoenix Arrives

*

"Slaves ...... damned"

I saw Aunt He lying on the ground, surrounded by overturned trays and broken teacups, and steaming tea spilled all over the ground.

"Yu'er, go see if Aunt He is okay." Zuo Ying commanded.

Scarlet Feather hurriedly took the order to help Aunt He up, and a palace maid consciously came over to clean up the porcelain cup crumbs and tea.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the slave is fine." Aunt He lowered her head and said in a slightly trembling voice: "The slave maid just, just wanted to serve tea to His Majesty and the Grand Master to quench their thirst, and forgot that her left hand was inconvenient for a while, so she broke the cup and plate. Please forgive your ......"

Scarlet Feather persuaded in a low voice: "Aunt He, you just came here from the desert thousands of miles away, you must have a lot of discomfort, and you are not feeling well, it is better to go back and rest for a while before coming to serve Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not blame." ”

"No, Your Majesty, Lord Scarlet Feather." Aunt He hurriedly raised her head and said, "The slave and maid are greatly favored by Your Majesty, even if they are reluctant to make cattle and horses for Your Majesty day and night in the second half of their lives, they will not be able to repay it." Slaves and maids do not need to rest, and they should be more careful in the future. ”

Saying this, Zuo Ying was a little "flattered", this person dared to be more moved than Scarlet Feather. Zuo Ying was anti-guest and saved the day in the turmoil of Chengze's departure from the palace because of her whistleblowing; And what was given to her was just to stay in the palace as a palace maid, and to give back the false names of the Han surname, how could she be enough to be a cow and a horse, and she was reluctant to give up day and night?

"Aunt He, I order you to go back to your room immediately and have a good rest, and come back to the imperial study tomorrow to wait, and you must not disobey."

Under Zuo Ying's order, Aunt He showed a last resort. Only retreat. Before walking out of the imperial study, he quietly looked back twice, almost paying attention, and collided with a chamberlain who hurriedly walked in.

The chamberlain hurriedly came to Zuo Ying and knelt down. Seeing that Helan Chu was also beside him, he looked a little speechless, but no one in this palace dared to let His Majesty retreat when He Lanchu was present.

"Your Majesty. Please forgive the villain for being bold, the villain has something important to tell. The waiter kowtowed with a look of urgency.

"Your Majesty is concentrating on schoolwork, and I will report something in an hour." Helan Chu said majestically.

The chamberlain didn't dare to disobey, but seemed to have to report it, and under the great confusion, he burst out with a crying voice: "Your Majesty! The second half of the sentence ...... the royal husband came to the imperial study, as if it was too late if he didn't run.

As soon as Zuo Ying heard it, she knew that Ashina must be coming to make trouble indefinitely. It doesn't matter if he makes trouble, what matters is that his reckless demeanor will be exposed in front of Helan Chu at once, so that Helan Chu can easily realize that he is not the legendary gentle and well-versed Confucian. Helan Chu used this as a handle. Even if he is sarcastic and sarcastic every day, he is likely to use this as an excuse to promote a hardline policy against the Turks again, and her plan for peace will fall short. Although Helan Chu's eyes are developed, it may be a matter of time before he suspects it. But as the saying goes, "I'd rather be known than be seen", it's better not to let the two of them meet too early.

"Yu'er," Zuo Ying said quietly to the scarlet feather beside her, "You go to meet the imperial husband and tell him that I am concentrating on my studies here and can't get out." An hour later, I will pass it on to him again. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The firefighter Scarlet Feather understood. The commander followed the chamberlain out of the imperial study.

Zuo Ying's gaze inadvertently fell on Helan Chu's eyes after sending the back of the scarlet feather, and he was stabbed by his eyes that did not particularly show ruthlessness but naturally had a bit of sharpness, and in an instant, he really had the mood of being lazy and cheating behind the teacher's back when he was studying.

"Your Majesty, please concentrate and have no distractions." Helan Chu said coldly.

"Aiqing has learned a lesson." In order to appease Helan Chu's curiosity that must be stirring in secret, Zuo Ying still had to pretend to be a grandson.

On the way less than twenty meters from the door of the imperial study, Scarlet Feather intercepted Ashina Wuji. Behind him was a group of panting palace people. I didn't dare to persuade him, I didn't dare to stop him, I didn't dare not point him out, and I didn't dare not point to him, so I had to go around the road to point out, but I couldn't stand his fast feet.

Ashina did not wear Hanfu for an indefinite period of time, and he still retained the habits of the Turkic people when he dressed up, coupled with his tall and sturdy figure and dignified appearance, he walked around the palace and attracted a lot of lively eyes.

When he saw Scarlet Feather, his frowning thick eyebrows eased, and he said in a tone that he finally saw a living person: "Bloodless muddy boy, you came just in time, take me to see her quickly." ”

Scarlet Feather was stunned for a moment, and after reacting for a second, he realized that he was calling himself, "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty is working hard in the imperial study, and you will have to wait a while to see Your Highness." If Your Highness has anything to do, please do whatever you want to do with Scarlet Feather. ”

"Hmph, if you can solve it, I'm not interested in meeting her." He disdains to call Zuo Ying "Emperor", "Your Majesty" and the like, and calls "Dog Emperor" when he is not quarrelling, and he seems to be nameless, so he has no choice but to "her, her, her", "What kind of palace did you let me live in, I don't want to live, you change places for me." ”

When Scarlet Feather heard it, it turned out that the imperial husband was not used to living in a new place? This is human nature, it seems that it is not a vexatious tricky matter, so he said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, the Fengyi Palace where Your Highness lives is the position of the main lord of the Hou* Palace, and only the queen and the imperial husband have always been qualified to enter it. Scarlet Feather dared to ask His Highness, what was there in Fengyi Palace that failed to satisfy His Highness? So that after Scarlet Feather knows, he will ask the people below to rectify it. ”

"Well, in our place, only mares are allowed to give birth!" Ashina showed a look of disdain indefinitely, "I am a dignified man and a husband, how can I live like a woman in a place called 'Fengyi Palace'?" Last night, the lights were unknown, and I didn't see the plaque at the door clearly, so I was tricked into sleeping in it all night; I woke up this morning and saw that I couldn't stay there any longer, unless you changed your name. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, and they didn't know how to persuade them for a while. But it seems that it has never happened to change the name of the palace room specifically for the sake of a highness.

"The royal husband has misunderstood." At this moment, a pleasant voice came from behind everyone, and everyone looked back and saw that the person who was followed by a few palace people and walked with a smile was Li Yunshen. Li Yunshen is usually thoughtful to both the palace and the upper and lower levels, so the palace people are always the most active and enthusiastic when they see him.

"Shangshu? Yiji" has a cloud: "Xiao Shao is ninety, and the Phoenix Emperor is coming." Li Yunshen looked at Ashina Wuji, who had thick eyebrows and slightly locked, and said with a smile on his face, "Compared with the majesty and dignity of the dragon, the phoenix is a sign of peace and peace, and has nothing to do with gender. If you want to be more serious, the 'phoenix' is the male, and the 'phoenix' is the female, so the song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" has been handed down. ”

Ashina looked at Li Yunshen indefinitely, only to feel that he had red lips and white teeth, a weak physique, and luxurious and cumbersome clothes, which was far from their Turkic aesthetic taste for pursuing fierceness and roughness, and immediately had no good impression of him. And this person has also touched his minefield - he hates to listen to people quote scriptures and classics and show off his literary talents, and this one mouth is really unpleasant.

Scarlet Feather saw Ashina looking at Li Yunshen with a disdainful look that a big child looked down on his playmate younger than himself, and hurriedly introduced: "Your Royal Highness, this is Her Royal Highness Concubine Yun of Qingquan Palace. ”

"Li Yunshen has seen the imperial husband." Li Yunshen smiled and said: "The palace was originally planning to go to Fengyi Palace to meet the imperial husband, but I heard that the imperial husband came to the imperial study, so I followed here." The palace has heard the name of the imperial husband for a long time, and the imperial husband is very admired and respected in his heart, if the imperial husband does not dislike it, please enjoy the face to the Qingquan Palace for a few drinks. A few days ago, the palace sent someone to bring a few jars of good old wine from the best wine shop in Luoyang City, which was just right to pay homage to His Royal Highness. ”

Ashina doesn't know much about what the title of "concubine" is, but he only knows that the place where this person lives is also called "XX Palace", so he may be his current neighbor. And more crucial than knowing exactly what this man does, he says he has good wine waiting for him to come and drink!

The customs of the Turks are extravagant and hospitable, and even if they meet for the first time, they are likely to invite people into their tents to drink wine and eat meat, and talk freely; Correspondingly, it is not a new thing to go to the house of a stranger who has fallen in love with you to drink. In Ashina's opinion, Li Yunshen was able to make this invitation, which was very impressive to him, and he still prepared fine wine, Ashina's dissatisfaction in his heart was all put to the back of his mind, and he hooked his lips and smiled: "Okay!" Anyway, I won't go back to that Fengyi Palace, I'll go to your place for a drink or two first! ”

"The royal husband is willing to appreciate his face, which is really a great honor for this palace." Li Yunshen smiled and let go of the road behind him, "Imperial husband, please." ”

Watching the two of them leave with a smile on their faces, Scarlet Feather breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't expect such a tricky matter to be solved by Her Royal Highness Concubine Yun so lightly, I am really glad.

"Go back to the car and drive a long road. Looking around, the east wind shakes the grass. What you encounter for no reason, why don't you grow old quickly? There are times of prosperity and decline, and it is not too early to stand up. Life is not a golden stone, how can you live a long life? Suddenly materialized, the name is treasured......"

In the lonely courtyard, there was a singing sound with the sound of the piano. The singer does not have a shocking voice, and the melody of the song is also very plain and classical, but with the gust of smoke, through the layers of powder walls, it is faintly transmitted, so that the person who hears it wants to get closer to listen to the lyrics, melody and the singer's feelings.
