Chapter 9: Flying Fireflies for You

"That's okay?" Chun Tao looked at the unchanged step, thinking that it was her own dazzle, and hurriedly blinked her eyes a few times to look again, but the step, or the step.

Bu Tong stretched out his hand to cover a Nanzhu and looked at it, and smiled with satisfaction,

"Chun Tao, don't be too cumbersome for tonight's hair accessories, the headdress I saw the queen last time almost broke my neck, today with this hairpin, just make a simple and generous style."

Chun Tao is a little genius in dressing, seeing that his young lady made up her mind to take the simple route, she didn't say much, and quickly pulled up a simple and dignified hair ornament for Bu Tong, only sparsely decorated with three or two jade hairpins, elegant and quite noble, and then took out a moon-white dark pattern palace dress in the cabinet, and looked at it carefully, "Miss is wearing this tonight." ”

Bu Tong walked over and stretched out his hand to brush the gold and silver threads,

"I'm afraid that under the lights at night, this dress will shine even brighter."

Chun Tao saw that Butong was a little hesitant, and also hesitated, "Does Miss think it's too eye-catching?" ”

Butong gently brushed and shook his head,

"It's okay, didn't you say it, the nobles of other mansions have always been beautiful, what I want is different from them."

Chun Tao smiled happily. "What Miss said is that my young lady is already fragrant and beautiful, how can those vulgar fans compare with Miss."

……

In the end, Bu Tong got on the horse and followed Nanguo Gong and Mrs. Qi all the way into the palace, until the sunset outside slowly darkened, and then entered the inner side of the palace wall. ”

Mrs. Qi saw Bu Tong's dress from the carriage in front, she just chuckled and shook her head, but did not say anything, Nan Guogong was soon called away by the courtiers, and Bu Tong followed Mrs. Qi to the queen's palace to say goodbye.

Although it is a dinner party, most of the ladies and ladies of the various provinces come at such a time, first go to the queen to sit, and then go to the main hall to feast later.

"Concubine Qi Bushi, take the little girl Butong, and meet the queen."

Bu Tong followed behind him and followed Mrs. Qi's movements, "Meet the queen mother." ”

"Mrs. Qi doesn't have to be polite, Tong'er is also here, get up and sit down." The queen's voice came from the main seat, as if she was very happy, Bu Tong went up to help Mrs. Qi get up, looked around at the three or two noble ladies, sure enough, they were all dressed in flowers, and they were a little surprised to see Bu Tong's plain body, and there was a small discussion in his ears.

"This is the family of the Duke of Nanguo?"

"Presumably, the one behind Mrs. Qi is not that Butong."

"The second lady of the Nanguo Mansion?"

"Second Miss? Nanguo Mansion is such a serious lady, who married into the Six Princes' Mansion a few days ago, she is just a concubine. ”

"What do Nanguo Gong and his wife think, they don't ask for such a good marriage, but marry a concubine?"

"What do you know? I've heard that it was His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince who fell in love with that concubine. ”

"If there is such a thing, how can the concubine have face?"

"Presumably Miss Bu was frustrated, and the Mid-Autumn Festival State Banquet was dressed so plainly."

"It's not ......"

Mrs. Qi naturally heard this, stretched out her hand and patted Bu Tong's hand, Bu Tong rolled her eyes, without the slightest mind and sadness, and smiled at Mrs. Qi to say that she was fine, and she didn't mind, Mrs. Qi sat down under the queen, and Bu Tong retreated to the back of several young ladies, looking for a corner that did not attract attention.

Competitiveness is the most useless psychology, the most is to let others see the jokes, Bu Tong'an quietly eats the fruit, and the ladies on the side discuss a few words and say something else.

The queen's eyes swept over the corner behind the palace as if nothing, and slowly brought a smile of approval.

Although Bu Tong regarded the chewing tongue in front of him as a wind in his ears, he had been observing the movement on the main side, and naturally he also noticed the gaze that the queen had been throwing, and felt confused.

What's wrong? Actually, I can't say it.

When the time passed, a housekeeper came to whisper a few times, the queen got up when she heard the words, her posture was graceful and cordial, and she smiled at everyone who sat down, "Your Majesty sent someone to deliver a message, everyone follow me to the palace, today's dinner is a royal feast, please don't be formal, you need to have the guests and hosts happy." ”

Everyone thanked them one after another, and went out behind the queen one after another, Bu Tong hid at the end, and when he was about to go out, he was stopped by Mama,

"Miss Bu, Your Majesty Yun asks to see you."

Lord Yun?

Isn't this the one who is very interested in the art of war in the mouth of his brother, Yun Fang, the commander of the imperial guards, right?

Although the elder brother had already guessed about this meeting and said that he could refuse, Bu Tong was very curious about this character in the blind spot of memory, so he nodded and saluted respectfully.

"Please ask my aunt to lead the way."

Yun Fang is a person who knows the system, understands that Bu Tong is still a noble lady of the boudoir, in order to avoid suspicion, the place to meet is selected in the southeast of the front hall of the corridor, the next can see all the people who come out of the hall, condescending and extremely open, Bu Tong "tsk" sound,

"The commander of the guards, sure enough, the people who got together with my brother can't be those people who are not right-minded."

After the mama who led the way in front saw the figure over there, she made a "please" gesture and wanted to retreat, Bu Tong looked at the tall figure suspiciously, it was the heroic appearance of a young man, and he stretched out his hand to the person in disbelief,

"Auntie, dare to ask who this is, Cloud Commander?!"

Mama saluted,

"If Miss Hui is there, this is Yun Fang, Lord Yun." After saying that, he retreated.

"Lord Yun?" Butong's little head was full of doubts, it stands to reason that such a person who was in a high position at a young age, how could he not remember, but later it was clear that it was the brocade guards of the East Factory who took over the defense of the palace, but where did this team of imperial guards, even the commander and the guards, go? Did you go to join the army?

With all kinds of possible speculations, Bu Tong's approach has attracted the attention of the person who is closely observing the defense, Yun Fang was keenly aware of Bu Tong's approach, and turned around in time, it was a tough and capable general, and he saluted with his fists, "Your Majesty has seen Miss Bu." ”

Bu Tong smiled steadily, squatted slightly and made a daughter salute,

"Commander Yun is polite, the courtiers are not talented, and they dare not be questioned by the commander. Besides, the commander is a brother and friend, and he is also Butong's brother, so he shouldn't be so angry. ”

Yun Fang nodded a little embarrassedly, "Brother and sister, it's really different from those ordinary nobles who only know how to apply grease and powder." ”

Bu Tong smiled,

"Brother said a day ago, Commander Yun has a lot of research on the study of army management, and Bu Tong is only shallow in learning, but it is just a fur thing, which makes the commander smile."

Hearing this, Yun Fang's face changed instantly, and he looked at Bu Tong very seriously, "Miss Bu is too modest, although I have only read a few pages of your book on soldiers, I still feel that it is very subtle, and there are some incomprehensions, and I ask Miss to give me advice." ”

Bu Tong saw that this person also really wanted to ask for advice, so he invited Bu Tong to come to meet, and naturally nodded very happily,

"Commander, please speak, Bu Tong must know everything."

……

The ministers began to increase, but the position of Bu Tong and Yun Fang was too high, and the people below could see that it was not easy for the people below to look up and find, the two chatted for a long time, Yun Fang led the troops to govern the army with unique insights, and Bu Tong hit it off, it was very fate, and in the end, Bu Tong stretched out his hand to hold the jade fence in front of him, and sighed lightly,

"Commander Yun, listen to my advice, if you really have the heart to join the army, just take advantage of your young time, what kind of family inheritance, generational responsibility, I believe that the parents and clansmen of the Grand Commander will also hope that the Grand Commander will do it from his heart, and if they can make contributions to this, they will naturally be happy."

Yun Fang's eyes suddenly brightened a little, and he bowed respectfully and saluted, "Thank you, Miss Bu, listening to Qing's words is enough to comfort your subordinates' depression." ”

"It seems that Miss Bu and Commander Yun have a good chat," the fourth prince came up from the stairs on the side, and he actually looked smiling, Bu Tong didn't know why he was so happy, until he saw Tang Xuanlin's face from behind with a rejection of people eight thousand miles away, it was clear.

It seems that the fourth prince was already worried about his previous words, and now he happened to see himself chatting with Yun Fang in front of the palace, so he mistakenly thought that he was just joking a few days ago, and now there are others around him, so he hurried over to join in the fun.

The prince is also so gossipy?

Yun Fang saluted frankly, "Your Excellency has seen His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and please don't misunderstand, Your Majesty just happened to see Miss Bu's art of war at General Bu Shao today, which is very exquisite, so I reported to Brother Bu and found an opportunity to ask Miss Bu for advice." ”

Before Bu Tong could explain, Yun Fang had already said it in a serious way, and even added the words "report to Brother Bu", Bu Tong applauded silently in his heart, "Sure enough, he is the one who serves under the royal court, rigorous and thoughtful, without any flaws." ”

Bu Tong looked at the face of the four princes who suddenly turned helpless for a moment, and couldn't hold back a smile, in order to distract his attention, Tang Xuanlin stood behind the four princes expressionlessly, and didn't look at this side at all, this appearance made Bu Tong's heart "chuckle", thinking that he might be angry, and then turned around and looked at Yun Fang,

"Today, I have gained a lot from talking to the great commander, if the palace is busy, the great commander does not have to take care of the courtiers."

When Yun Fang heard this, he looked up at the busy guards under the hall, and then made a decisive salute and left, Bu Tong watched Yun Fang's back disappear at the corner of the stairs, and happily ran up to hold Tang Xuanlin's hand in front of him,

"Xuanlin, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much."

Tang Xuanlin's hand collapsed there under the stiffness, and even his meticulous appearance couldn't help but collapse a little, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he slowly spoke,

"Miss Step."

The fourth prince coughed lightly on the side, and Tang Xuanlin was just that

In a trance, he turned towards Bu Tong, "Imperial City Ouchi, please also ask Miss Bu to restrain a little." ”

However, the words are peaceful, not like the spear and blade of the previous life.

Only, what is there to converge on this? Bu Tong shook his hand indifferently, until the stiff big hand became soft and warm, and looked up at his appearance carefully, looking sincere,

"I haven't seen you for many days, I see that you are thinner, what's the matter, the food in the Four Princes' Mansion is not the right appetite?"

Mu Hesheng couldn't listen to it on the side, and stepped forward to block the middle of the two, and Bu Tong's hand suddenly became empty.

"Miss Xie Bu cares, but now that we are, shouldn't Miss pay attention to her demeanor? If this is looked down upon by someone with a heart, it is not a trivial matter, and it will definitely cause an uproar. ”

Bu Tong raised his eyebrows in agreement, and smiled brightly at Tang Xuanlin,

"Xuanlin, tonight, remember to bring your Royal Highness here to talk to me."

Tang Xuanlin nodded and said that he had written it down.

Mu Hesheng didn't agree immediately, and frowned, "I just heard what Commander Yun said, Miss Bu actually knows the art of war strategy?" ”

Bu Tong waved his hand and replied seriously,

"It's not that I understand, it's just that I saw it in my dream, and I wrote it down silently for my brother's idle reference, and I happened to see it by the cloud commander who came to visit this morning."

Obviously, "The Art of War" is everyone's life's work, how can they seize fame.

As soon as these words came out, Tang Xuanlin glanced at Bu Tong thoughtfully, but Mu Hesheng was frank, "Could it be that we meet tonight, and Miss Bu is also going to give me a military book?" ”

Bu Tong raised his head, his eyes flashed slightly, and he took a few steps forward to lower his voice, but the content of his words was really shocking,

"Tonight, please invite His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince to come and talk about the crown prince's position."

Mu Hesheng's pupils instantly dilated, and he shouted:

"Bold, such a major matter is decided by the father, how can it be our turn to say in private, you are a noble girl, and you should know the system and understand the proportions."

Bu Tong was not surprised by his reaction, shrugged his shoulders and continued,

"As I said, I will let Your Highness believe in my sincerity, but now that Your Majesty is sick, some ambitious thieves have begun to be restless, and they are eyeing their hearts and should be punished, doesn't Your Highness know? The courtiers don't want to control the affairs of the world, they just want to share the worries of His Highness, if His Highness shows his face in front of His Majesty in the future and has a good future, it is also His Highness's fate. ”

Mu Hesheng didn't expect a little woman in Butong to have such insight, she seemed to mean something but didn't say a word, she was choked and finally spoke, "What do you think?" ”

Bu Tong smiled mysteriously,

"If you continue to talk about it now, you will make a mistake, why don't your highness enter the palace first, and then discuss with me later?"

Mu Hesheng looked back and saw that there were only a few people entering the hall behind him, and after thinking about it, he agreed, "I'll listen to what you have to say for the time being." ”

Bu Tong saluted to bid farewell to the Fourth Highness, and looked at Tang Xuanlin delicately by the way,

"Xuanlin, do you think I look good today?"

The topic turned abruptly, but Tang Xuanlin looked back and nodded with a smile, "It's good-looking." ”

Bu Tong happily looked at their backs farther and farther away, and suddenly said,

"Xuanlin, the flying fireflies are coming, no matter where I am tonight, as long as you see the fluorescent dots on my head, it will be a heart lamp I have lit for you."

The figure gradually disappeared, I don't know if the person heard it, Bu Tong gently fiddled with a few beads on his head and a short tail, and turned back to look at the towering palace in the distance and the gradually disappearing sunset, only to feel a little cool on his body.

"Miss, why are you here?"

Chun Tao ran over with a "snort", "But let Chun Tao be easy to find, the banquet is about to start, Mrs. saw that you have not yet entered the table, so I specially asked Chun Tao to find it." ”

Butong nodded, "Then let's go." ”

Chun Tao glanced behind Bu Tong, a little surprised, "Ah, what's going on?" ”

The beads on Butong's head, with the disappearance of the daylight a little bit, began to emit a faint blue and yellow light, and Chun Tao covered her mouth in surprise,

"This is clearly the pearl of the night."

Bu Tong chuckled,

"It's a fluorescent effect, and the beads are still those southern pearls of the day."

Chun Tao helped Bu Tong to walk towards the main hall, tilting his head in confusion, "Fluorescent effect?" ”

Bu Tong thought about the smile left by Tang Xuanlin, and sighed that he had never seen him smile in his previous life, and he didn't think it was very funny, so he patiently explained,

"The fluorescence effect is the phenomenon that after the short-wave ultraviolet light irradiates the fluorescent substance, the fluorescent substance emits light in the long wavelength band.

Chun Tao naturally didn't understand, so she only nodded stunned, "Miss is so amazing, she can actually make her own night pearl." ”

Butong: ......
