Chapter 44: A New Mission

In the sixteenth year of Yuankang, on the 20th day of July, this day was the 400,000th birthday of Emperor Wei.

Officials from all walks of life entered Beijing to celebrate his birthday, and the capital was crowded, and the nobles gathered for a while.

In previous years, the longevity festival will be held in the prayer hall, but this year, the decree of Wittite was changed to the Phoenix Terrace, and many people secretly speculated that it was the wind blowing on the pillow.

Who is it?

Naturally, she is the only concubine in this dynasty, Tang Feng. To say that her acquaintance with the emperor is really full of drama, that year, the emperor personally conquered Xining State, and the last battle was chosen in Chenping County. This place in Chenping County is perennially windy and foggy, and this place is the place of decisive battle that was chosen by the battle-hardened Emperor Wei with many years of war experience.

Sure enough, this battle defeated Xining Kingdom, not only won, but also brought back a beauty from the battlefield. Legend has it that this beauty is the daughter of the county magistrate of Chenping County, because of the invasion of Xining, her father went to the front, and she withdrew to the rear with her mother. Those who were present at the time later recalled: flying sand and rocks, the sky was full of loess, a group of refugees walked towards them, and the person walking at the end of the line was particularly eye-catching, she was wearing the usual coarse linen clothes, supporting an elderly grandmother, but just by looking at her, others could no longer notice the others.

The so-called national color is a pearl in the gravel, which is extremely eye-catching.

Naturally, this bright pearl was finally hidden in the deep palace by the most powerful man in the world, and it was easily invisible to outsiders.

Since then, Feng Nu has risen all the way, and no one can match her edge. In order to make her a concubine, the emperor even recognized her with a well-known father, Tang Zhendong, the Duke of Qi. Everything in Chenping County was covered up, and Feng Nu was no longer the daughter of the county order, but the Qi State Mansion where Zhong Ming Ding ate.

"I see, for the sake of this concubine, the imperial brother has done everything." The first prince to step into the Phoenix Terrace, Zhu Zhaoxue, King of Lu, shook his fan and commented on the surrounding arrangements.

Phoenix Terrace faces the water on three sides, the lake is planted with lotus flowers, as soon as midsummer arrives, the lotus flowers of the lake are competing to open, that is the good scenery of "receiving the lotus leaves infinitely green". The phoenix platform is built high, the platform body is built with a boulder weighing a thousand catties, the column is printed with gold lacquer, the sun shines, and the sense of gold and brilliance is all revealed.

The Phoenix Terrace was not intended to be good, this was a building built when a concubine was favored in the previous dynasty, and it cost a lot of money, and the emperor who built the tower for her was unfortunately killed in the end, which means that he was even more dissatisfied. After the establishment of the new dynasty, the Phoenix Terrace was deserted, when Emperor Wei first ascended the throne, he also intended to tear down the Phoenix Terrace to rebuild the palace, but now it is not what it used to be, for the sake of the concubine, he actually repaired this platform, and to choose the most important day of the year to be held here. It seems that men are not much slower than women in changing their faces.

The invited princes, nobles, civil ministers, and military generals climbed the building one after another, and the prince with a big belly climbed the three-storey Phoenix Terrace, panting, and actually needed someone to help him sit down.

The sacrificial celebrations during the day had exhausted these adults, and the dinner party was so laborious, that the adults who were almost in good health complained in private, and their dissatisfaction with the concubine was even heavier.

"The emperor has arrived!"

The hall was silent for a while, and after the emperor entered, everyone knelt down together, and the mountain shouted long live.

Emperor Wei strode over, about a good day, so people were also happy, sat on a high seat, raised his hand, and said: "Everyone, Aiqing, today is my 40th birthday, you can be invited to celebrate my birthday is already a toss, the next banquet please all the princes and ministers must be happy!" ”

"Congratulations to the emperor on his long life, long live my emperor, long live long live!" The ministers once again bowed to congratulate them on their birthdays.

Wei Di was really happy, and said three good things in a row.

The salutes were exhausted, and everyone sat down.

Emperor Wei asked the person waiting beside him, "Can the concubine get up from the Chengqian Palace?" ”

"Niangniang got up early and felt uncomfortable, so I guess I have to delay for a while." The great eunuch Xu Zhong replied.

Emperor Wei had a violent temperament in his early years, and the people who fought for his life on the battlefield naturally had a ruthless energy, so he almost monopolized power in the past few years, and he couldn't tolerate the nonsense of others. Lateness has happened before, but the last person who was late to the court no longer knew which poor countryside to go to to help the poor, and the concubine dared to touch the emperor's moldy head today, and she was really a woman who could run rampant and domineering in the harem.

Emperor Wei did not whisper when he asked, and King Lu, who was sitting closer, naturally heard it, he got up and bowed, and said: "On such a big day as the imperial brother, the concubine Niangniang, as the model of the harem, was the first to be late, obviously he did not put the imperial brother in his eyes, and the younger brother was very disappointed in Niangniang. ”

King Lu grew up with the emperor, so he naturally knew that he had the same temperament, but it happened that the concubine made a mistake today, and it was a good time for him to speak.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Wei waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's already cumbersome for women to go out, I have a drink with you first, and let the concubine take her time." After speaking, he raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "I will have fun with you and other monarchs and ministers, and celebrate the New Year together!" ”

The ministers held it one after another, and King Lu missed the blow and the opportunity was lost.

At the beginning of the banquet, the dancers of the music workshop also entered one after another, all wearing bells, with enchanting postures, and dancing charmingly between movements, seducing people's hearts. Even King Lu, who had just touched a soft nail at the emperor's place, not only admired this graceful dance, but also seemed to have fire in his eyes.

When everyone was intoxicated, there was a eunuch outside singing: "The concubine has arrived!" ”

The music of the dance in the room came to an abrupt end, and the dancers were divided into two sides and knelt on the ground.

The phoenix platform is hollowed out on all sides, covered with light yarn, and the wind comes slowly, and the light yarn is graceful like a dance. At this time, there was still a little glow left in the sky, and the night was gathering momentum to hide its light.

Tang Guifei stepped into the hall from the main entrance, and as soon as the embroidered shoes woven by Yunjin touched the ground, countless eyes followed her.

The metropolitan concubine is the first beauty of the Xia Dynasty, but this beauty also has all kinds of styles, how do you know that the concubine's complexion can overwhelm the women in the world?

When she entered the hall with the last ray of light and walked past the dancers, the smart and delicate dancers were not enough to see, like the bright candlelight and the bright moon, the difference was thousands of miles.

"The green clouds are both inserted into the golden warp, the age is enchanting, the Han concubine is bundled, and the little weeping willow occupies the waist of Luocheng."

The phoenix girl has a moth eyebrow, a greasy face, especially a pair of beautiful eyes that hook the soul, and the afterglow passes, which makes people soften half of their hearts.

She was wearing a garnet red long skirt, covered with a gauze as thin as cicada wings, and the pomegranate flowers that have always been uneye-catching bloomed on her skirt, which also had a bit more charming and dazzling. Feng Nu has always been bold, and she likes to dress up the most, so how can she miss such a good opportunity to show? Yes, her originally well-rounded chest was tightened and lowered by half an inch for no reason, but this half an inch is about to accept her fate, you can see the halva of Dongxiang? The outside is white, and when you bite into it, it tastes layer by layer, and it makes people scratch the aftertaste of the lungs when you eat it.

Looking at her head full of pearls, a single piece is already worth a lot, and she actually has a complete set of ruby heads. What made the ladies present particularly special was a drop-shaped pearl that fell from her eyebrows, and the two sides were strung with extremely thin silver chains.

She passed through the hall, her eyebrows raised, and without giving them a cent, she went straight to the man on the high seat.

"The concubines wish the emperor a long life, long live my emperor, long live long live." Ying Ying bowed down, the wide sleeves spread out, and a refreshing fragrance followed.

Subsequently, Xu Nankui came to his senses.

As soon as Xu Nankui opened his eyes, he was brought into a new picture, and the whole person was a little blindfolded, and after a long time, he asked, "What is this?" ”

A voice came to my head: "Your next employer." ”
