Chapter 95: The Feast of the Hung Gate
After entering the palace, Xia Chutao and Youlian were directly escorted outside the Zichen Palace of the emperor's last court.
At the beginning of the summer, Momo was locked in cold chains, and he could feel the cold feeling of the iron lock coming from his wrist.
It was already cold at night, but now it was raining heavily, making it even more cold and desolate.
In the cold wind, Xia Chutao couldn't help but shiver, and then she was pushed by Huang Yi behind her, and scolded coldly,
"Get in."
Xia Chutao was pushed to the wound on his body, and after gasping in pain, he couldn't help but glare at Huang Yi behind him.
"What are you pushing me to do? I can walk on my own. ”
"Huh."
Hearing Xia Chutao's answer, Huang Yi smiled disdainfully,
"I hope you can have such arrogance in front of the emperor in the future."
Dragging the heavy shackles, Xia Chutao and Youlian slowly walked into the main hall one after another.
The sound of shackles scraping across the ground and rubbing against the ground resounded throughout the hall, making it extremely clear and hollow.
Xia Chutao raised her eyes and saw that the hall was silent, and there were only three people in the lobby.
After being escorted up by the forbidden army in the main hall, Xia Chutao and Youlian were forced to kneel down in front of the emperor.
Xia Chutao raised his eyes and saw that the emperor was holding a stunning beauty in his arms, with a smile on his face, and his eyes looked at Xia Chutao gloomily.
The beauty in her arms was wearing a naked, almost transparent gold gauze skirt, and you could even vaguely see the beauty's bare skin and her seductive figure.
She just nestled in the emperor's arms, and just a gentle smile had a seductive charm.
Hibiscus is not as good as beauty makeup, and the water hall is fragrant, probably like that, right?
Looking at the other seat, there was an extremely thin old man, who looked almost humanoid skeleton, with his back bent, nestled in his place, looking at Xia Chutao with a faint gaze.
In the changing light of the main hall, the old man's eyes were like the dark eye holes of a skeleton, and he couldn't see anything.
He kept smoking a hookah in his mouth, grunting, without expression, and without speaking.
"This is Youlian? Sure enough, it's very beautiful. ”
The beauty gently wrapped her arms around the emperor's neck, and after looking at Youlian's body a few times, she chuckled, her voice was as crisp and beautiful as the singing willows and yellow orioles by the stream, and the laughter was as pleasant as a silver bell.
"Concubine Ai thinks she's good-looking?"
The emperor pulled the corners of his mouth and looked at Youlian who was kneeling in the audience, and then said to his favorite concubine with a hint of amusement,
"Since Concubine Ai likes this skin of hers, how about I peel off her skin and give it to Concubine Ai?"
Xia Chutao heard that this emperor could actually say such cruel and unreasonable words, and couldn't help but look at Youlian beside him with some worry.
However, Youlian was more calm than Xia Chu Tao at this time, her eyes were slightly drooping, her gaze was faint, and she didn't know where to look.
"That's not good, the emperor said this, and he wasn't afraid of scaring Miss Youlian. Such a good-looking skin naturally has to be raised to look good. ”
The beauty pouted, obviously disagreeing. The glamorous gaze then fell on the body of the peach at the beginning of summer,
"I think if you want to peel hers, you can peel hers."
At the beginning of summer, Tao was stunned.
Early Summer Peach: ???? This game doesn't think she's miserable enough, right? Why is it you who suffers from this?
"Good shot!"
"Little Peach's black question mark."
"Hahahaha, woe comes from heaven."
There was still a lot of laughter in the barrage, and Xia Chutao really admired that his fans could laugh out loud at any time.
Even if they don't know that she's a real person in the game, don't they have any sympathy when she encounters something like this?
They laugh like this every time, don't they really feel that their conscience hurts?
Xia Chutao even wondered if it was her own black fan who was watching her live broadcast.
"Why did Concubine Ai skin her?"
The emperor glanced at Xia Chutao playfully, and then asked with a smile.
"The general has no interest in state affairs now, and he defended her very much before. It is true that she collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, but the loyalty of the general is clear to the emperor. Such a bewitching slut is only afraid that it will be a scourge to stay by the general's side, and it is just a good example to strip her. ”
The favorite concubine snorted, and after speaking, she laughed even more. The laughter was like beads off the thread on a plate, one after the other falling to the ground and echoing through the hall.
Xia Chutao was speechless and choked, thinking that most of this concubine was also Fu Rin's brainless fan, and when she caught herself in her hands, she couldn't wait to cramp and peel herself.
"What Concubine Ai said naturally makes sense."
The emperor is also very fond of this concubine, and he is obedient to her words. The Emperor's gaze wandered back and forth between the two men, as if to gauge whose skin he was going to skin.
"But I have a better idea."
The emperor said with a smile, and his gaze finally fell on Youlian's body,
"It's okay not to peel the skin of the peach at the beginning of summer, and the girl Youlian only needs to dance a wild goose dance. I heard that this dance was shocking to the world, and for hundreds of years, only Youlian girl in Beizhao could perfectly interpret this dance. ”
Xia Chutao felt very puzzled, what happened to this emperor? It seems that she has always had a soft spot for dancing, and she used to want her to dance, but now she wants Youlian to dance.
Thinking about it, Xia Chutao put her tentative gaze on Youlian's body, and looked at her silently, wondering what Youlian was thinking now.
But Youlian's face still didn't have a big expression, but the corners of her mouth rose strangely for some reason when the emperor said this sentence - what was she laughing at?
"If you go back to the emperor, you can't show people at will."
Youlian's red lips opened slightly, and with a hint of charm, her voice spread out above the main hall.
"I never dance this song to show people, because once this song comes out, you will see blood."
When Youlian said this, the emperor sitting on the high hall was even more interested, and looked at Youlian with a playful expression.
"If Miss Youlian doesn't jump, she also wants to see blood, doesn't she?"
Saying that, the eyes of the favorite concubine fell on Xia Chutao's body again, which made Xia Chutao can't help but have a cold war, she really knows the horror of brainless powder now.
"What Concubine Ai said is reasonable, Miss Youlian, you don't want to jump, I am the Son of Heaven, and I am not afraid of anything happening."
Saying that, the emperor looked at the thin old man on the side, and asked with a smile,
"What do you think?"
Right phase?
Xia Chutao couldn't imagine that such a walking skeleton-like old man was actually the prime minister of Dawan, looking at him like this, I don't know how long he has lived, he looks more like a monster.
Thinking of Xia Chutao, I couldn't help but feel slightly in my heart.
"The Hongyan Dance is rare to see, and even if it is Beizhao, few people can interpret it. If Miss Youlian could jump, the old man would naturally want to see it. ”
Xia Chutao looked at Youlian again, she naturally wanted Youlian to jump, after all, her life was in Youlian's hands.
But what is the matter with Youlian's expression now...... Why does Xia Chutao think that she is quite happy?
"Then Youlian is respectful, it is better to obey fate."
Youlian happily agreed, more simply than anyone could have imagined.
"Okay, since Miss Youlian has agreed, let's go down and prepare. As for the early summer peach ......"
After Youlian was taken down to prepare, the atmosphere in the hall solidified again. The three beams of gaze above the high hall fell on Xia Chutao's body in unison, making Xia Chutao feel a lot of pressure, and even made her feel a little difficult to breathe.
At this time, the emperor's gaze swept over Xia Chutao's body without a trace, and then said,
"As for the peach at the beginning of summer, let's go to the table and enjoy it together, but it's just ......"
The Emperor slowly glanced at the empty and deserted palace, and after a moment of silence, said,
"It seems that it is still too lonely, and there is still a lack of visitors."
As he spoke, the emperor clapped his hands, and a person came in at the door of the main hall.
Xia Chutao looked at it, and after seeing the person clearly, Xia Chutao's heart skipped a beat.
"Fu Rin......"
The person standing at the door of the main hall is Fu Rin, still wearing the black robe, still the crane, everything is exactly the same as when Xia Chutao first saw Fu Rin, the only difference is that Fu Rin looks a lot thinner, and the stubble on his face has not been dealt with properly, and it seems that the whole person's spirit has languished a lot.
In the past, Fu Rin was like a sword that bloomed to the fullest, but now he looks a lot duller, and his edge is also dim.
Just like this, Xia Chutao knew that for such a period of time, Fu Rin was actually not doing well.
Xia Chutao didn't understand: what did the emperor call Fu Rin for......
Fu Rin calmly came to the center of the main hall, next to Xia Chutao, lifted his robe and knelt down.
"Minister Rin, I've seen the emperor."
From entering the hall to kneeling beside Xia Chutao, Fu Rin's gaze never fell on Xia Chutao's body.
Xia Chutao couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart, obviously this was the first time they had met in such a while, but Fu Rin was so cold to her, as if she was a stranger.
"Aiqing is here? Aiqing came just in time, I was planning to let Miss Youlian dance a wild goose dance, and Aiqing also came to watch with me. ”
"The emperor said that if Miss Youlian doesn't dance well, she will have to peel the skin of the peach at the beginning of summer."
The favorite concubine also said this with a smile, and Xia Chutao obviously saw Fu Rin's figure stiffening,
After speaking, the emperor shouted in a deep voice outside the hall,
"To the general, give a seat to the peach at the beginning of summer!"
As soon as the words fell, several little eunuchs came in at the door one after another, respectfully holding seats and cups and plates, and then placed them in front of Xia Chutao and Fu Rin one by one.
Xia Chutao looked at Fu Rin, he still didn't speak, and after the seat was set, he obediently entered the table, his face was cold......
