Chapter 16: The Beauty in a Dream

Ling Zhen declared to the ministers that his dragon body was not good enough for the early dynasty, and then asked the eunuch to go to Xuanji Erchun to come to Suhua Palace.

After Ji Erchun received His Majesty's announcement, he secretly sneered at Concubine Li: "The trap is laid for him, jump or not to jump is up to him to choose, he is so ridiculous that he can't go to the early dynasty for an extremely boring dream, and he is also superstitious about witchcraft, hehe, do you still think he is a Ming Jun?" ”

After finishing speaking, Ji Erchun picked up the amethyst ball full of snowflake crystals in the altar and strode away.

Concubine Li looked at Ji Erchun who was gradually walking away, and her eyes were full of sadness.

Ji Erchun came to Suhua Palace, and after bowing slightly to His Majesty and Concubine Su, he asked knowingly: "I don't know what Your Majesty Xuan Ji Erchun has to order?" ”

"Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, give a seat!" Ling Zhen was sitting high on the brocade cushion, Concubine Su was helping him massage his shoulders, he asked Ji Erchun to sit down and talk slowly, and Yueji served tea to Ji Erchun.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ji Erchun thanked him and sat down.

"I've slept very badly these nights, and I always dream of someone!" Ling Zhen's expression was complicated, and there was a little excitement mixed with chagrin.

Ji Erchun asked: "Dare to ask Your Majesty who you dream of?" ”

A smile appeared on Ling Zhen's face, immersed in the memories of his dreams: "It was a strange woman with a vivid color, she came to my dormitory to dance, I wanted to catch her and ask her who she was, but every time I let her escape. ”

Ji Erchun asked, "Is it the same person every time?" ”

Ling Zhen nodded: "That's right!" Does Aiqing know what's going on? ”

Ji Erchun said: "Dreams are illusory realms, strange and strange, and it is possible to dream of anything, but Your Majesty often dreams of the same person, and it is a strange woman, which ...... Relatively rare. ”

Ling Zhen was a little frightened, and asked urgently, "Is it the demon who is doing the trick?" ”

Ji Erchun shook his head and said with a smile: "Impossible, the only one who can control people's dreams is the dream demon, and it is impossible for ordinary monsters to control His Majesty's dreams." ”

Ling Zhen was even more shocked when he heard this, and said, "Demon? If it's really a dream demon, what should I do? ”

"Your Majesty, please put your hand on the amethyst ball, and you will know the reason." Ji Erchun got up and knelt down in front of him, holding the amethyst ball in both hands, holding it high above his head, and reciting a mantra silently in his mouth.

Ling Zhen closed his eyes and lightly placed his hand on the amethyst ball, and suddenly the image of the woman in his dream flashed in his mind, the woman was wearing palace clothes and was smiling at him.

Ling Zhenxi was overjoyed and said, "I saw it!" See! ”

Concubine Su glared at Ling Zhen, who was greedy for the new and forgetful and lustful by nature.

Ji Erchun stopped working and withdrew the amethyst ball.

Ling Zhen opened his eyes, still unsatisfied, and said with a little anger: "I haven't seen enough!" ”

Ji Erchun said: "This method hurts His Majesty's body and cannot be used for a long time. ”

Ling Zhen was deflated at this time, and turned to a little more surprise in his eyes, and said, "I saw that woman, wearing the clothes of a concubine in the palace, is she going to become my concubine?" Ji Erchun, what the hell is going on? ”

Ji Erchun said: "The amethyst ball is your future, and what Your Majesty sees is what it is." ”

Ling Zhen brushed the short stubble and nodded again and again, and the appearance of the woman wearing the concubine costume in the dream lingered in his mind.

Concubine Su glanced at Ji Erchun, and Ji Erchun retreated: "Your Majesty, if you have no other orders, the minister will retreat first." ”

Ling Zhen shook his head, absent-mindedly, his heart was already filled with the woman in his dream.

Seeing that his soul was not possessed, Concubine Su turned her back to him, pretending to be angry, and said: "Your Majesty, you haven't even seen that woman, and you have been haunted by her, if you really enter the palace, then Your Majesty will not snub the concubine?" ”

Ling Zhen hurriedly hugged her into his arms and said, "Aifei, don't you know what I do to you?" You will always be my favorite woman, other women are just a moment of freshness, at most they are just your foil! ”

Concubine Su was coaxed by his sweet words and grinned, lying on his chest obediently, she seemed to suddenly think of something important, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the day of the celebration of the Eighth Prince's Hall, and you tell the concubine to remind you." ”

Ling Zhen suddenly remembered his appearance, and said: "Concubine Ai, don't you say it, I almost forgot, tomorrow I will only go out on patrol with you to give the eighth brother a surprise!" ”

Concubine Su smiled and nodded, her eyes were full of smiles, thinking in her heart, I was afraid that she would be surprised or unhappy!

After Ling Zhen left, Concubine Su's younger brother, Liu Feng, who behaved perversely and called him "Liu Maniac" behind everyone's back, entered the palace to visit his sister again. The upper half of Liu Feng's face was covered by a bronze mask, revealing a pair of Danfeng eyes. He saluted and said, "Liu Feng sees my sister!" ”

Concubine Su glanced at Huazhi, stepped forward to support him, and said with a smile: "Don't pretend, there are no outsiders here." ”

Liu Feng smiled slyly and said, "How is the plan going?" ”

Concubine Su said: "Bait, you fisherman just wait for the big fish to take the bait!" ”

Liu Feng stood with his hands in his hands, sneered and paced, and said: "Since my sister doesn't like to attack directly and loves to play, my younger brother will accompany me, anyway, I am tired of living, and everything will come as soon as I open my hand, so boring!" ”

Concubine Su asked: "After the big fish is hooked, how does the younger brother plan to play next?" ”

Liu Feng's eyes rolled and he smiled: "Guess! ”

※※※

The celebration of Miaoyintang is naturally indispensable to the city's most famous lion team, and the firecrackers wrap around Miaoyintang, and the front of the gate is full of many people who watch the excitement, occupying the entire street, and the excitement is boiling over.

On the first floor of the Miaoyin Hall, the musicians on the stage are playing music, and the dignitaries who come to congratulate are sitting in the audience. However, the gate was almost crowded by the common people, but fortunately, there were a few big men guarding the door, so that the people would not break into the hall.

Ling Zhen and Concubine Su bought a box on the second floor, and there was a girl in the hall and Concubine Su's own girl flower branch waiting beside them.

Concubine Su said: "Family master, look, the man on the stage is the eighth brother? ”

Ling Zhen looked down the stage, only to see two servants carrying a guqin up, Ling Zixuan sat in front of the guqin, waving his hands, a burst of pleasant music sounded, and then the dancer appeared, this dancer has a delicate waist and beautiful dancing.

Ling Zhen was also stunned, Concubine Su saw his lustful appearance, the corners of her mouth moved, she smiled secretly, and looked at the moving dancing girl on the stage again.

Ling Zixuan smiled and looked at Hua Yingrong while playing the piano, she wore a plain white gauze skirt today, her graceful waist swayed flexibly, and her white greasy face was half covered by a plain white veil as thin as a cicada's wings, revealing a pair of smart and charming peach blossom eyes on her face. It's like a fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.

At the end of the song, Ling Zhen was still unsatisfied, until the beauty completely disappeared from his gaze, he couldn't wait to order the girl next to him, and said: "Go and tell King Yong, there are acquaintances waiting for him in the box, let him bring the dancing girl, and the acquaintances will be rewarded!" ”

The girl was a little hesitant, the prince is not someone who can see it if he wants to!

Ling Zhen was anxious to get to know the beauty, and when he saw that the girl was not moving, he immediately darkened half of his face, and said, "You just said that the second brother is invited!" ”

Hua Zhi on the side said: "My master asked you to go, you can go, otherwise you can't afford it!" ”

The girl who didn't know the world didn't know who the second brother was, and when she heard him say that he was invited by an acquaintance, she had to go and tell the steward Ji Ye about it, and as soon as Ji Ye heard the word second brother, he immediately went to the third floor to find Ling Zixuan.

Ling Zixuan was inspecting the outfits of the dancing girls, and when he heard that the second brother had come to his hall to celebrate in person, and said that he wanted to reward the dancing girls, he was very happy, and went to the box with Hua Yingrong. As he walked, he told her that he wanted his brother to meet his future brother-in-law. Biruo waited after them.

Hua Yingrong had already taken off her veil at this time, and when Ling Zhen saw her, she was terrified, wasn't this the beauty in her dreams? I couldn't leave my eyes for a while.

Hua Yingrong was quite embarrassed by him, and reluctantly smiled and saluted.

Ling Zixuan also found that he was looking at Hua Yingrong intently, and suddenly woke up to the rumors that His Majesty was lustful, and regretted bringing her in his heart, so he preemptively stated his relationship with her, and said: "Zixuan see the imperial brother!" This is the future princess Hua Yingrong mentioned by the previous courtier and the royal brother. ”

Ling Zhen's heart sank for a moment, Fang retracted his admiring gaze, and said with a smile: "Eighth brother has a good eye!" ”

Ling Zixuan glanced at Concubine Su and said with a smile: "Brother Huang is smiling, there is a big beauty like Concubine Su who often accompanies him, and there are many beauties in the harem, and the royal brother is the real blessing!" ”

Of course, Ling Zhen understood the mystery in his words, and in order to break his younger brother's concerns, he said: "Eighth brother, if you still have anything missing, just ask me to speak, and in a few days, I will ask Zhao He to send some congratulatory gifts to King Yong's mansion." ”

Ling Zixuan thanked and said: "Second brother Xie, the eighth brother doesn't lack anything, I hope that on the wedding day, the second brother can come over early to have a glass of wine." ”

Ling Zhen smiled: "Of course! ”

Ling Zixuan said: "Then it's okay, the younger brother chooses a good day and immediately informs the second brother." The celebration is busy, and the younger brother will deal with it first, so don't bother first. ”

Ling Zhen bowed his head and continued to drink, and after Ling Zixuan went out, he turned his head to look at the bewitching back, feeling a sense of loss in his heart, but it's a pity......

Concubine Su glanced at him, smiled secretly, and then sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in his bowl, and said, "Try it, it tastes good!" ”

She also commanded the flower branches: "The wine is full." ”

Ling Zhen absentmindedly gnawed on the ribs, only to feel that he had a toothache, threw down the chopsticks with a "snap", got up unhappily, and with a wave of his sleeves, he was about to leave.

"Head of the house, wait a minute!" Concubine Su and Huazhi immediately caught up, and Concubine Su secretly scolded this moody faint monarch in her heart.

Ling Zhen returned to the palace this time, and after seeing the real person, he was even haunted by Hua Yingrong, and even couldn't sleep at night. But this is my brother and daughter-in-law, what if you like it?!

Of course, Concubine Su understood his thoughts, and asked pretendedly, "Your Majesty, why have you been sullen for the past few days?" ”

How dare Ling Zhen reveal his liking for his brother-in-law, he could only shake his head and say nothing.

Concubine Su said: "How can Your Majesty hide it from your concubines? ”

As soon as Ling Zhen heard her, she suddenly found that she was holding a scroll of paintings in her hand, very curious, and when she slowly spread out the painting, she found that she had secretly drawn a picture of a beautiful woman who had been secretly painted by her, and in the painting, Hua Yingrong was wearing a veil and dancing in the forest.

"This," Ling Zhen feigned anger, "how can you touch something of mine casually!" ”

Concubine Su smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, if you really like this beauty, the concubine will offer a plan." ”

Ling Zhen refused to admit it, and said, "This is my brother-in-law, how can I like her?" I just admired her appearance and painted her in the painting, not really liked her! ”

"Your Majesty, since you came back from Miaoyin Hall, you haven't thought about tea and dinner for the past few days, and the concubine still doesn't know what you're thinking? My Fair Lady, good gentleman, not to mention that this beauty has not yet married King Yong, besides, this beauty is destined to be a concubine for His Majesty, have you forgotten the future that Ji Erchun helped you predict? Concubine Su added fuel to the fire. How can a lustful person give up a seductive beauty, even if she is a brother's woman? All that's missing is an excuse to convince yourself!

Ling Zhen thought about it, the love of flesh and blood was still no match for the beauty's smile, and he said, "What is the plan of the concubine?" ”

Concubine Su said: "If Your Majesty robs it, it will definitely turn against King Yong, but what if the beauty takes the initiative to give her a hug?" Blame him for seeing the wrong person! ”

Ling Zhen nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, brushed his beard, smiled and picked Concubine Su's chin with his fingers, and asked, "Concubine Ai is not jealous?" ”

Concubine Su said: "Your Majesty has more beauties in the harem, and you are not the only one who favors the concubine?" No matter how beautiful she is, she is just a wild flower, but the concubine is a family flower, and the concubine believes that His Majesty is tired of playing and will come back. ”

Ling Zhen laughed, pinched her small nose lovingly, and said, "You are so bold that you don't take the queen in your eyes." ”

Concubine Su pretended to be innocent and apologized jokingly: "The concubine accidentally offended the queen, please ask Your Majesty to confess." ”

Ling Zixuan laughed and pinched her face, and said, "You little naughty! ”

The matter of getting Hua Yingrong was fully entrusted to Concubine Su.

Early the next morning, Ling Zhen personally took a sedan chair and took a group of guards to carry the congratulatory gifts to the Yongwang Mansion.

Ling Zixuan saw that his brother came in person, so he went out to greet him, and after chatting in the palace for a while, Ling Zhen said: "If you have nothing to do, why don't you take me to Miaoyin Hall to watch a play?" ”

After Ling Zixuan agreed, Ling Zhen left dozens of guards in the mansion in order not to be publicized, leaving only Zhao and his father-in-law to serve by his side.

Ling Zixuan sent a sedan chair from the palace to carry the holy car, and he still rode through the clouds and snow.
