Chapter 183: Foil

"The emperor is too, why is he so devoted to Jiang Jieyu, is it because of Jiang Jieyu's alluring face?" I don't understand it.

Jiang Sumo smiled and said nothing, "In a few days, the Khan of Mongolia will meet at the court, and he will be busy, and you will make good arrangements for the palace to select the show girl, and be sure to choose the emperor who is charming and understanding." ”

Fu Dong owed, "The slave understands that she will not live up to the queen's entrustment." ”

————

Half a month later, Chang'an City was bustling.

As soon as the Khan of Mongolia entered Chang'an, the team was quite large, and as soon as the Khan of Mongolia stepped into Chang'an City, news came into the palace.

"Xiao Wu, I heard that this Mongolian Khan has come to our big battle, and I heard that the double streets of Chang'an City are full of people."

Jiang Wu chuckled, "Meng Guo and Da Liang have always been good friends, and I heard that this time the Khan came, and he also came with deep sincerity. ”

Nanfu nodded, "I also heard that this time the Khan came with the little princess, and I don't know what is the difference between the little princess of the Mongolian country and our Da Liang people." ”

Jiang Wu smiled, grabbed a hand of lotus seeds and pushed them in front of Nanfu, "Peel the lotus seeds." ”

The Khan of Mongolia entered the palace at about three o'clock in the morning, and Yun Rongjue and the ministers met and received him in person.

That night, Yun Rongjue held a banquet in the palace to receive the Khan of Mongolia and the little princess, and Jiang Wu also attended the banquet.

The Mongolian people and the Daliang people are diametrically opposed in appearance, dressed, and the Mongolian Khan is rough, but he does not lose his demeanor. The little princess Gu Liangying is dressed in a masked dress, and she is really cute when she speaks.

"Father Khan, this cool song and dance is very good-looking and good-looking." Gu Liangying drank wine and enjoyed the song and dance with a smile on his face.

Yun Rongjue glanced sideways, "Khan of Mengguo, little princess, can you still use these meals?" Yun Rongjue asked.

The Khan of Mongolia straightened up and wrapped half his arms around the moon, "King Da Liang is warmly hospitable, although the eating habits of Da Liang are very different from my Mongolian country, but this feast is what we like happily." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I've never eaten these snacks with us, but they're delicious." As soon as the Khan of Mongolia finished speaking, the little princess answered.

The little princess is straightforward and informal.

"The princess likes it and it's easy, we have a lot of delicious pastries, and the Ming Sakura Palace asked the people in the imperial dining room to send it to the princess, and keep it so that the princess can eat enough and eat well." Jiang Su Mo said in a loud voice.

When the little princess heard that there was something to eat, she grinned and nodded, "This song and dance is also beautiful, it is very different from our Mongolian country." ”

"Yes, the princess doesn't know, these songs and dances are specially rehearsed for the khan and the princess, they are the most special, and the queen has not bothered much for the queen here." Zhang Ruo said.

The little princess appreciates the excitement of singing and dancing. After the song and dance, the khan surrounded the moon with half an arm, "Your Majesty, the little girl has a dance to offer, and I hope the emperor likes it." ”

Yun Rongjue had a kind and gentle smile on her face, and bowed her head lightly, "Little princess, please." ”

Gu Liangying was not arrogant, stood up, bowed to Yun Rongjue, and walked outside. After a while, she came back with a change of clothes.

Mongolian customs and habits are diametrically opposed to Da Liang, Gu Liangying is wearing a dark red dress and skirt, and the dark red clothes only cover half of her, exposing her flat and beautiful belly.

Zhang Ruo frowned, turned his eyes to look at Jiang Sumo, and looked disgusted. However, Jiang Sumo looked at it with fixed eyes, and there was not too much emotion on his face.

Singing and dancing, Gu Liangying's hands were delicate, her waist was like a willow branch caressing and swaying, and the gold pendant embellished with the red shirt on her waist made a crisp sound with her dancing.

Everyone admired and watched, and Jiang Wu couldn't take their eyes off it. Yun Rongjue looked sideways, and saw the little girl eating grapes with smart eyes looking at the dancing Gu Liangying, with a bright smile hidden on her little face.

Yun Rongjue's thin lips were lightly pulled, and a touch of satisfaction fell on his handsome face.

As the song fell, Gu Liangying's waist was like a thin willow, her hands were leaned back under her chin, her red lips were gently raised upward, and she smiled a little delicately, a little charming.

"Good, good!"

The Khan of Mongolia was the first to applaud, and he looked at his daughter as if he were a treasure.

Gu Liangying straightened up, and when she faced everyone again, the charm on her face had faded, and she reappeared smartly, and she owed to Yun Rongjue, "Your Majesty, Ah Ying is ugly." ”

Yun Rongjue smiled and praised a few times.

"This Mongolian song and dance is really different from our cool song and dance, and today we are blessed by the princess, which is an eye-opener." Zhang Ruoqi said.

Gu Liangying smiled and said to Zhang Ruo: "Mrs. Zhang has won the award." ”

"The princess has worked hard, in the past, the palace has also read some Mongolian songs and dances in the book, the princess danced today is a novelty and has never seen it, I don't know what kind of dance, the princess may teach one or two?" Jiang Sumo said.

Gu Liangying bent his lips and smiled, and said to Yun Rongjue: "Your Majesty, this dance was specially learned by Ah Ying when he learned that he was going to come to Daliang with his father Khan, and it was created by the ancestors of the Mongolian Kingdom earlier......"

"Wild Goose Dance."

Almost at the same time, Gu Liangying's voice overlapped with another voice, Gu Liangying subconsciously looked over, and in the position of the side, the man was dressed in a dark blue robe, with long hair tied high, tied with a jade ribbon, and his face was like Chu Yu.

"You know?" Gu Liangying blurted out the words.

Xiao Qijin bowed his head, straightened up, and slowly explained the origin of the Hongyan Dance.

Gu Liangying listened, her face was slightly surprised, the man in front of her not only knew the origin of the Hongyan Dance, but also explained the reason for the dance point she had just changed.

"Hahaha, Da Liang is really full of talents, Your Majesty, this is ......" Meng Guo Khan asked.

Yun Rongjue glanced at Xiao Qijin, his thin lips curled lightly and said slowly, "This is my Da Liang Heavy Minister, Xiao Qijin, Lord Xiao." ”

Xiao Qijin......

Gu Liangying's dark eyes stared at Xiao Qijin, turning and turning from time to time.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has an idea," suddenly, Zhang Ruo spoke, and when she turned her eyes to look at Yun Rongjue, her gaze fell on Jiang Wu for a moment, "The dance of the princess of Mongolia is pleasing and pleasing to the eye, the song and dance of the Mongolian country is beautiful and beautiful, we also have a lot of excellent songs and dances in Da Liang, I heard that Jiang Jieyu's song and dance is the best, it is better to let Jiang Jieyu perform a song and dance, and let the Khan and the princess see the difference between our Da Liang." ”

As soon as Zhang Ruo's words came out, the atmosphere around her suddenly froze, Jiang Wu's little hand holding the chopsticks slowly put down, she raised her eyes, and looked towards Zhang Ruo. Zhang Ruo looked at her with a smile on his face, but this smile was ......

"What are you kidding, Jiang Jieyu is the emperor's brother and concubine." Yun Huang frowned and spoke, pushing back Zhang Ruo's sentence.

Zhang Ruo was not panicked, and said: "What His Royal Highness King Shu said is that Jiang Jieyu is the emperor's favorite concubine, but ...... Aren't we intersecting with the Khan of Mongolia with song and dance, the little princess is so down-to-earth and generous, showing us the unique song and dance of Mongolia, isn't Jiang Jieyu good? ”

On the table, except for the Khan of Mengguo and Gu Liangying, everyone else looked at Yun Rongjue thoughtfully and watched the change in his expression.

Yun Rongjue's dark eyes swelled up with an undercurrent that others couldn't see, he turned his eyes slowly, his gaze crossed over, and fell on Zhang Ruo, Zhang Ruo met his eyes, and blinked lightly with some weakness.

Jiang Sumo coughed lightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, what Mrs. Zhang said is actually reasonable, she is also kind, she wants to make this banquet more lively, and seeing such a good dance performed by the little princess, she can't help it, and wants to show the Khan and the little princess more of the difference between our Da Liang." ”

Gu Liangying's eyes fell on Jiang Wu, she blinked, and bowed to Jiang Wu, "If Jiang Jieyu doesn't mind, Ah Ying can cooperate with Jiang Jieyu, just right, one of us represents Da Liang and the other represents Mengguo, Mengguo and Da Liang have always been good friends, and the two different dances together may burst out different sparks!" Father Khan, do you say yes? ”

The Khan of Mengguo smiled up, "Emperor Da Liang, it's better to let the little girl and your Jieyu dance together." ”

The Khan of Mengguo and the little princess both opened their mouths, Yun Rongjue didn't care to brush his face, he turned his eyes to look at the little girl beside him.

Jiang Wu took a deep breath, on an occasion like today, she didn't want him to be in a dilemma, she stood up and bowed to him, "The concubine is willing to be with the princess." ”

Jiang Wu walked around to the little princess, said hello to the little princess, and then went to the apse to change clothes.

After a while, Jiang Wu came out of the apse.

Jiang Wu changed into a white and blue dress, she and Gu Liangying stood together, Gu Liangying's red was public, her white and blue were refreshing and low-key, the two colors complemented each other, just looking at it like this, it had a different flavor.

Jiang Wu came to Gu Liangying's face, lowered his voice, and said a few words to Gu Liangying.

Gu Liangying listened, his little face slowly showed a light smile, and then nodded, "Okay, I'll cooperate with you in a while!" ”

The music sounded, and everyone's eyes fell on the two people in the center, one red and one blue. Jiang dance is the mainstay, Gu Liangying is supplemented, although the steps and movements of the two are different, but they overlap and fuse together, which does not make people feel awkward and uncomfortable, but makes the dance of the two of them have the unrestrained spirit of Mongolia and the restraint of Da Liang. It was a surprise to everyone.

Yun Rongjue looked at the little girl who was at ease, and her handsome face, which was tense and unhappy, slowly fell, and there was a light smile hidden between her thin lips.

After singing and dancing, the two stopped, and the Khan of Mongolia was still the first person to applaud at the table.

"Okay, okay, Emperor Da Liang, this dance between the two of them is really wonderful, our Mongolian country and Da Liang have completely different dance styles, blending together, and they have a unique flavor." The Khan of Mongolia praised.

"That's," Gu Liangying smiled with a smile on her face, "Father Khan, this is what Jiang Jieyu told me just now, and how to jump is also discussed between her and me, she is very powerful." ”29GG

The Khan of Mongolia looked at his daughter dotingly and nodded in response.

Yun Rongjue glanced at Jiang Wu and gestured, she owed her body and returned to her seat.

After sitting down, she instinctively picked up the cup in front of her and took a sip.

Although she agreed happily, there was still nervousness and uneasiness in her heart, especially in the process of dancing just now, her palms were sweating a lot.

Jiang Wu just put down the cup, raised his eyes, and happened to look at Zhang Ruo opposite the upward slope with a warm and unwilling look.

Jiang Wu knew that Zhang Ruofang's proposal was to make her embarrassed in such a scene, but she didn't expect it......

"The Khan of Mengguo, the song and dance of Da Liang, there is more to it than that, by my side, Mrs. Zhang, the pipa is a must, I don't know if the Khan is interested in listening to it?" Yun Rongjue said to the Khan of the Mongolian State.

When Zhang Ruo heard this, her eyes widened, and she wanted her to play the pipa?!

The Khan of Mongolia did not like to be restrained, and he was most interested in these lively things, and he quickly responded.

Yun Rongjue blinked his eyes and looked at Zhang Ruo, "Mrs. Zhang, please play a song." ”

Zhang Ruo frowned, "Your Majesty...... This...... The concubines don't dare to offer ugliness, the Khan of Mongolia is a distinguished guest, and the concubines are afraid that the concubines' unrefined piano skills will sweep away the interest of the emperor and the khan. ”

"I know your piano skills, don't be modest, not to mention, Jiang Jieyu has the courage to give it a try and dance, how come Mrs. Zhang's here, Mrs. doesn't dare? Madame, don't say more, otherwise it will really disturb me and the Khan's interest. Yun Rongjue said.

Yun Rongjue's words blocked Zhang Ruo's later words, so that she had no possibility of refusing.

"Sister, since the emperor asked you to play, you can just play, the Khan of Mongolia is still here, sister don't disturb the emperor's interest, so as not to get out of control." Jiang Sumo reminded in a low voice.

Zhang Ruo's face was extremely reluctant.

But there was nothing to do, so I could only listen to Yun Rongjue's words and play the pipa.

Although Zhang Ruo was playing, Yun Rongjue and Mengguo Khan were talking, not as distracted as they were when they watched Jiang Wu dance just now, and they didn't even give her a single afterglow!

It's as if she's a geisha from one of those music houses! Just a foil!

After finishing the song, Zhang Ruogang wanted to stand up, but Yun Rongjue moved his eyes and said: "Madame plays it well, play a few more songs." ”

Zhang Ruo: "!! She just wanted to say something, but she saw Yun Rongjue and Mengguo Khan, chatting again, so that she had no room to interject!

Zhang Ruo played several songs in succession.

After she finished playing a few songs, the banquet was over, and she returned to the palace with a belly full of anger.

After the banquet was over, Jiang Wu returned to the Spirit Dance Hall.

About an hour later, the internal officials of the Heart Cultivation Hall came to talk to her, and Yun Rongjue returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall and asked her to come over.

On the table, Yun Rongjue drank a lot of wine, and the smell of alcohol on his body was obvious. Jiang Wu asked people to bring hot water and waited for Yun Rongjue to wash his face and change clothes.

Yun Rongjue held her little hand tightly and looked at her.

"What's wrong?" She met his eyes and asked, puzzled.

Yun Rongjue led her to sit down on the couch, "I wronged my sister today." ”

Jiang Wu was stunned, and after a while, she reacted to what he was talking about, she shook her head, "Don't take it to heart the emperor, Xiao Wu is not aggrieved, in today's scene, Xiao Wu can help the emperor, Xiao Wu is very happy." ”

Yun Rongjue's thin lips tugged at her, and she said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for the presence of the Khan of Mongolia today, like Mrs. Zhang, I would definitely take care of her, she has always been hostile to you, and she wants to humiliate and embarrass you when she finds an opportunity." ”

Jiang Wu smiled with relief on his face, "The emperor doesn't have to feel that Xiao Wu is wronged, and he doesn't have to worry, just now at the table, didn't the emperor also bring back the grievances to Xiao Wu, and let Mrs. Zhang play several songs." ”

Jiang Wu knew that later Yun Rongjue asked Zhang Ruo to play the music one after another, not for anything else, but for her breath.

Yun Rongjue chuckled, stroked the little girl's soft hair, and said slowly: "The Khan of Mengguo will stop for some time in Da Liang, and I will be busy during this time." ”

Jiang Wu nodded, "Xiao Wu knows that the emperor can handle court affairs with peace of mind." ”

————

For two or three days in a row, Yun Rongjue was busy with the affairs of the Khan of Mengguo, and rarely appeared in the harem.

Under the big tree in the imperial garden, after Yun Rongjue explained, the palace people quickly set up a swing there.

The big trees provide shade, and even on a summer day like this, you don't feel the heat.

Jiang Wu sat on the swing, swaying gently, her hands wrapped around the thick ropes on both sides, pinching the flowers with both hands, and weaving garlands.

"Xiao Wu, I heard other people say that the south side is the side where the little princess of Mongolia lives, and it's lively."

Jiang Wu lowered his head and knitted a wreath, "What's so lively." ”

"It's that little princess, I heard that she has a lively and lively personality, and she is also curious about this and that, and she often plays with the palace people below."

Jiang Wu chuckled, "That's good, she has such a personality, and she is the favorite little princess of the Khan of Mengguo." ”

"Does this look good?" She handed the wreath to Nanff.

Nanfu smiled and nodded, "It's beautiful, white, yellow, purple and pink, it looks so good to string together." ”

Jiang Wu put the wreath on his wrist, looked at it and smiled, "Then I'll weave another one for you!" ”

"Xiao Wu!"

Nanfu pushed Jiang Wu with her arm and gestured for a look, Jiang Wu looked up and saw that not far away, Zhang Ruo and Gu Liangying walked over side by side.

She got off the swing, and after a while, Zhang Ruo and Gu Liangying approached and walked in front of her.

"Concubine, see Madame Zhang," she looked at Gu Liangying, "Princess." ”

Gu Liangying looked at Jiang Wu, her eyes lit up, "I know you, you are the one who danced with me at the banquet a few days ago!" Is that right? ”

Jiang Wu bent her lips and bowed, "Yes, the princess remembers." ”

Gu Liangying smiled, "Of course I remember, you danced very well, and you cooperated well with me, I remember that you are ...... It is the ...... of Emperor Daliang What is ginger coming from......"

There are many titles of concubines on Da Liang's side, and her father Khan told her before, but she always confuses or forgets.

"Princess, she is Jiang Jieyu, now the emperor is in the harem and there are only the queen's mother, and there are concubines, and then there is Jiang Jieyu with the lowest rank." Zhang Ruo explained.

Jiang Wu: "......"

"Jiang Jieyu......" Gu Liangying muttered, "I remember, Jieyu, is it the title of your concubine here?" ”

Jiang Wu bowed, "Yes." ”

"And what's your name?" Gu Liangying asked.

"The concubine's name is Jiang Wu."

"Jiang Wu...... Jiang Wu...... Is it a dancing dance? ”

"Yes."

Gu Liangying showed his face, "Jiang Wu, okay, this princess remembers!" Your name is much easier to remember than Jiang Jieyu! I'll just call you by your name from now on! ”

Jiang Wu smiled and did not refuse.

Zhang Ruo's eyes rolled, he bent his lips and smiled, and stepped forward, "Jiang Jieyu's name is indeed easy to remember, originally, as soon as I heard Jiang Jieyu's name, I knew who Jiang Jieyu was." ”

The gentleness on Jiang Wu's face fell, and he looked at Zhang Ruo.

Gu Liangying was puzzled, "What does Madam mean by this?" Just by name, you know who it is? What is the meaning? ”
