Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Feast
Chen Danzhu left the Chen house, Ah Tian followed behind her, worried and puzzled, the master wanted to kill the second miss, fortunately the eldest lady stopped her, but the second miss was still kicked out of the house, but the second miss didn't look scared or sad.
Chen Danzhu walked briskly on the street, and couldn't help humming a little song, and when the little song came out, she remembered that this was her favorite when she was a teenager, and she hadn't sung it for ten years.
Li Liang was killed, her father and sister's family were still alive, and the mountain she had been carrying for ten years was unloaded.
Ah Tian saw Chen Danzhu looking so happy, and asked cautiously, "Second Miss, where are we going next?" β
Chen Danzhu stopped, the street was full of noise, the emperor entered the palace of King Wu, the people did not disperse, talking about the emperor, everyone saw the emperor for the first time.
The emperor never leaves the capital, and the princes and kings should go to worship every year, but as far as the current people of Wu are concerned, the king has never visited the emperor in memory.
Countless people flocked to the royal palace.
Chen Danzhu stood on the street, the capital of the previous world was not so lively, there were floods that drowned countless people, and Li Liang killed many people in the city, and when the emperor came in, the prosperous Wu capital was like a dead city.
Chen Danzhu retracted his gaze and looked out of the city: "Let's go back to Peach Blossom View." β
Ah Tian was also happy immediately, yes, the second lady was kicked out of the house, but no one said that she couldn't go to Peach Blossom Temple.
She said happily: "Our things are still in the Peach Blossom View." Then he turned his head and looked around, "Miss, I'll hire a car." β
It's a long walk from the city to the mountains.
Chen Danzhu said hello, she saw that the market in front of her was no longer strange, after all, she had not been here for ten years, Ah Tian found the car and horse shop well, hired a car owner and servants, and the two went to Taohua Mountain outside the city.
Chen Danzhu has been looking at the scenery outside, and after being reborn for so long, she is still in the mood to look around for the first time, and Ah Tian is very puzzled, Wu Du is very beautiful, but there is nothing new after watching it for so many years.
Alas, if she also came back from ten years later, she would definitely not think so, Chen Danzhu looked at the childishness in the corners of Ah Tian's sideburns, and Jingxin was also imprisoned in Peach Blossom Temple for ten years.
Peach Blossom Mountain has not changed much in the past ten years, Chen Danzhu went to the bottom of the mountain and looked up, the servants left by Peach Blossom View had already run out to greet them, Ah Tian asked them to take the money to pay for the carriage and horses, and then instructed everyone: "Second Miss is tired, prepare meals and hot water." β
The people here already know what Chen Danzhu has been doing these days, and when they saw Chen Danzhu returning, they looked suspicious and didn't dare to ask more questions and disperse to get busy.
Chen Danzhu ate a table of meals to his heart's content, and Ah Tian ate a small table of meals next to him, and the maids and servants were stunned.
"We've been hungry for a long time." Ah Tian said to them, "Miss and I haven't eaten seriously these days, and I've forgotten what hunger is." β
After the two finished eating, the hot water was ready, Chen Danzhu took a bath and washed away the past, changed into clean clothes, wrapped in a soft futon, closed her eyes and fell asleep, she hadn't slept well for a long time-
The night shrouded the Peach Blossom Mountain, the Peach Blossom Temple was lit up, like a lamp hanging in the air, and the people in the night shadows under the mountain looked at this side again, urging the horse to gallop away.
The banquet in the palace of King Wu was in full swing, except for Mrs. Chen, who was locked up like this, and who understood that King Wu would lose power, sad and desperate and refused to go to the banquet, almost all the magnates in Wu came here, and the emperor sat side by side with King Wu, laughing and talking with the powerful families of Wu Capital.
The wine was presented like a stream, the beauties danced in the audience, the literati and inkmen waved, still dressed in armor and an iron-masked general, and the beauties did not dare to stay by his side for long, and there were no powerful people who wanted to talk to himβdid they want to talk to him about how to kill?
In the rebellion of the Five Kingdoms that year, after the Yan State was jointly attacked by the Qi State, the Zhou State and the Wu State, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court entered the city, and the iron-faced general personally killed the King of Yan, and almost all the nobles of the King of Yan were wiped out.
This was the first time that the Iron Mask General attracted the attention of the princes and kings, and then he conquered the King of Lu, and then for more than 20 years, he continued to hear about his prestige.
The Iron Mask General didn't care about being left out in the cold, he didn't drink alcohol while wearing a mask, he just watched the singing and dancing in the field, his hand was still gently responding and patting on the table, a guard whispered through the crowd behind him, the Iron Mask General nodded after listening, the guard stepped aside, and the Iron Mask General stood up and walked towards the throne.
The forbidden army eunuchs standing around the throne did not dare to stop him, and watched the iron-masked general walk to the emperor's side.
"Your Majesty." He said, "While everyone is here, let's tell me what I am happy about." β
King Wu on the side heard it and asked happily, "What's the matter?" β
The emperor smiled and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and King Wu hurriedly asked the eunuch to stop singing and dancing, and listened to the emperor: "I have now understood, King Wu, you did not send assassins to assassinate me, and I am very relieved in Wudi, so I plan to stay in Wu for a few more days." β
The magnates in the hall were almost drunk, some were drunk and hazy, some were half-asleep with beauties, and some were happy to raise their glasses, "Good!" β
King Wu looked at the emperor again: "If Your Majesty doesn't dislike it, brother-"
The emperor interrupted him: "The palace of King Wu is good, but it is a little small. β
King Wu was a little unhappy, he had also been to the capital, and the palace was not much bigger than his palace of King Wu: "The shabby room makes His Majesty laughββ"
The iron-faced general stood in front of King Wu, and the cold iron-faced looked at him: "Your majesty, if you move out, the palace will be spacious for Your Majesty." β
I don't know if he was frightened by his face or by this sentence, King Wu was a little dumbfounded: "What? β
The emperor held the wine glass and said slowly: "I said, let you get out of the palace!" β
King Wu finally heard it clearly, was startled, and screamed: "Someone-"
"The Son of Heaven is here!" The iron-masked general stood in front of the throne with his sword in hand, and his hoarse voice rolled like thunder, "Who dares!" β
The eunuchs immediately crawled back, the guards pulled out their weapons, but none of them stepped forward with hesitation, and the drunken people in the hall also woke up, screaming and stumbling around.
The emperor sat on the throne, looked at the iron-masked general on the side, and laughed loudly: "You are right, it is more interesting for me to see with my own eyes the current appearance of the princes and kings." β
