Chapter Seventy-Six: Pink and Ink Sing a Thousand Faces on the Stage
Just as the feast of the nights had ended, a loud explosion suddenly sounded.
The palace maids and eunuchs by the window opened all the windows one after another. For a time, the world was gorgeous. Beautiful fireworks exploded in the sky, beautiful as a dream.
The stage by the Taiye pool suddenly sounded: "Wow, yes, yes!!! ”
The gongs and drums were noisy, and this banquet really began.
The last horn sang in a voice: "The treasure hall is open, the smoke of the imperial furnace is misty, and the Qiankun Tai is open." The golden level of the sun shadow, singing the Yellow Gate worship in the morning. 'Luan Fengjing flag dawned Chen Wei's New Year's Day, and it was rumored that Liu Changqing had descended silk. King Xing will purify the demonic atmosphere Du Fu, and ask the ghost Li Shangyin without asking the common people. ’”
Li Yizhe ordered someone to bring up the birthday gift for Ruoyan.
It was a very beautiful and gorgeous dress, Li Yizhe smiled and said proudly: "In the past, Princess Anle's hundred-feather neon dress cost 100 million yuan, and I made this hundred-feather neon dress for you compared to that neon dress." Do you think it looks good? ”
"It's good-looking," Ruoyan smiled, "It's just that the concubine can't stand it." ”
"You don't like it?"
Ruoyan shook her head: "Back then, Princess Anle was extravagant, and the concubines were unwilling to follow suit. There are still many people in the world who are starving, and the concubines wear such neon clothes and have a troubled conscience. If Your Majesty insists on sending ...... The concubines took out the dowry and silver of the concubines, bought some grain, and set up porridge sheds throughout the country. also counted the grace of the people's offerings. ”
"Yan Yan is kind, but the dowry silver is your own money. My brother didn't come back earlier to handle the marriage for you, and it was my brother's fault. This money, my brother will give it for you. Yun Ting suddenly stood up and said with a smile. That handsome face made Li Yizhe look at it, and for some reason he always felt that such a smile was a little meaningful.
"Ah Yan wants to set up a porridge shed across the country, which requires millions of taels of silver, and the little grandfather can get it?" Li Yizhe looked at Yun Ting and wanted to find out something.
"The title deed shop of the deceased mother's private property has long been handed over to her nurse. A few years ago, Mama Wang went back to her hometown to care for the elderly, and when Han Sheng found me, she asked a doctor to treat me. Coincidentally, the doctor was Mama's husband. When he saw that it was me, he gave it to me. Yun Ting's words were answered seamlessly, and Li Yizhe couldn't find any mistakes.
"Brother......" Ruoyan opened his mouth to say something.
At this time, Hua Jieyu came over with a food box, Ying Ying bowed, a small face was delicate and lovely, and her makeup was exquisite: "Niangniang's birthday today, the concubine came to give gifts." ”
Li Yizhe was slightly displeased. He didn't like this woman very much, but she rushed to post it all day long, which was very annoying.
"Your Majesty's mother can taste it, and the concubine specially made golden silk cheese and begonia cake." Hua Jieyu raised her head, her face was full of charm: "What gold, silver and jade do other sisters give, and the concubines want to send something different." I also hope that Your Majesty's mother will not think that the concubines are stupid, and taste your face. ”
"Report! Your Majesty! The Nanban Khan and Kedun have arrived. A little eunuch hurriedly came over to play, "I said that it would arrive the day after tomorrow, but I heard that today's event was specially rushed for a few days." ”
"Oh?" Li Yizhe waved his hand, "Please come in." ”
Suddenly, an eagle falcon flew in and landed in front of Ruoyan with a precious snow lotus in its mouth.
A rough voice came from the door: "Nanban Khan Sutai and his wife came to offer gifts." ”
Li Yizhe subconsciously squinted his eyes. He had not yet seen this new khan of the Southern Barbarians. I don't know what kind of character it is.
Luo Hansheng quietly paced to the second floor and found a place to sit down and drink tea. Tonight's nightless banquet was far more lively than Li Yizhe thought. The gongs and drums on the stage are noisy, the lights in this building are bright, and the sheng song and man dance seem to be the peak of the prosperity of the times. But how many undercurrents are surging underneath?
The person who stood under the dragon and phoenix pillar on the first floor and drank alcohol, the person who sat behind the curtain on the second floor and drank tea with his wife, and the person who "came back from the dead". The man with the falcon on his arm. This night was not only Zhou Tang's nightless feast, but also the beginning of Zhou Tang's ups and downs. The chess game is about to begin.
The monsters of this era come together. Even, Luo Hansheng raised his head and looked out the window. The maid on the edge of the stage was wearing a skirt and a strong suit. It's not like Feng Yuetian's new Nine Heavenly Lord Qi girl has come in person.
"I heard that Concubine Yun Guifei is a beauty, but when I saw it today, I knew that the rumors were true. It's really a country and a city. Emperor Tang is so blessed. Su Tai smiled, "Ke Dun and I came all the way, and the decent gift we brought with us was this Tianshan Snow Lotus." There is also a limousine that arrives in a few days. ”
I saw Wuyang standing beside Su Tai with a well-behaved appearance. Looking at Ruoyan's eyes, he was not as hateful as before.
"Great Khan, the concubine has not seen the imperial sister-in-law for a long time. I wonder if I can say a few words to the imperial sister-in-law? Wuyang turned to Li Yizhe and said with a smile, "Please also rest assured that the imperial brother will borrow the imperial sister-in-law for a while, and the original will be returned to the imperial brother later." ”
Li Yizhe was still a little hesitant, but Ruoyan felt interesting, and spoke before him: "Since you can urge, shouldn't this palace make an appointment and refute the Khan's face?" It just so happens that there is a gazebo outside that is relatively quiet, and it is not far from here, and it is bright. She looked at Li Yizhe as if she was still worried, and smiled and comforted him: "The concubine will go with Xueying, it will be fine." ”
Li Yizhe saw that she had said so, so he had no choice but to agree.
Wuyang and Ruoyan came out of the Star Picking Tower and sat down in the pavilion. Ruoyan held the hot tea sent by the palace people and waited for Wuyang to speak.
"You ......" Wuyang hesitated.
"Huh?" Ruoyan raised her eyes and looked at her with a smile, "Don't you have something to say to me?" ”
"Thank you for speaking for me in front of the imperial brother before." Wuyang blushed a little.
"I didn't say anything for you, but I just said what His Majesty thought. In fact, His Majesty has already had an idea. What I said was just a round of his scene. Ruoyan smiled, "I see that you used to be a domineering person, but this time you came back quietly." ”
"I didn't know anything at first. At first, I was very afraid of Sutai, but when the old khan died and he put me under house arrest and forced me to marry him, I hated him very much. But then things didn't seem to be what I thought. He's actually stupid, but he has a good heart. The expression on Wuyang's face when she said this was like that of a shy little daughter, "The old khan is old and violent, although he didn't treat me harshly, but he didn't lose his temper with me. After the death of the old Khan, I was not in a good situation. Most of Su Tai's younger brothers are womanizers. In fact, he put me under house arrest to protect me. ”
"What do you ...... Xiangye," Ruoyan asked tentatively.
"Luo Hansheng is a good match." Wuyang smiled coolly, "But he doesn't have what I can do in his heart." In the past few years since I went to Nanban, I have also understood. Although the Nanban occupies a southern character, it is in the desolate north. Who can save me there and who can help me? It's just that the mother concubine and the royal brother can't help either. It's just that the mother concubine really can't help, and the royal brother is ...... But I don't want to help. What really matters is the people around you who always look after you. ”
"Speaking of which, Concubine Shen ......" Ruoyan remembered what Concubine Shen had done before.
"Needless to say, it's safe for the concubine to be locked up." Wuyang suddenly smiled a little weirdly, "The imperial sister-in-law shouldn't think that my imperial brother is really a good person, right?" ”
Ruoyan frowned: "What do you mean by this, princess?" ”
"There are some words, Niangniang might as well ask your brother Sheng. After all, the imperial brother is not only stained with your family's blood. Wuyang stood up and just smiled, "The imperial sister-in-law is a smart person. It's time for us to go back. ”
Ruoyan wondered in her heart, what kind of play is Princess Wuyang singing? She seemed to be a little confused. The first half seems to be courting her, but the second half is like a warning or something.
The blood on Li Yizhe's hands is not limited to the Yun family. She seemed to understand something about Wuyang's words.
She always felt that her heart was getting more and more chaotic. How much does Li Yizhe know about Luo Hansheng? She was young back then, and there were many things she didn't know. She is also confused about what feelings she should have for Li Yizhe and Luo Hansheng now.
In the end, Meng Zhaoyi is proper, thinking that Wuyang must have someone to pick up when he comes back from talking to Ruoyan, right? Besides, he was afraid that if Wuyang said something wrong and provoked Ruoyan, he rushed to pick her up.
Seeing Meng Zhaoyi, Wuyang still restrained a little: "Sister Meng is good." ”
"I haven't seen the princess for a long time, is the princess still healthy? The palace saw that the princess had a good complexion, not to mention the ruddy, and also grew some flesh, which was more lovely than the thin appearance before. I think Khan is also a distressing person. Meng Zhaoyi's face was already kind and gentle, and her speech was not leaky, after all, she was the daughter of the prince's family, Meng Zhaoyi took Ruoyan's arm, "In autumn, the weather is still a little cold." The emperor was worried about Niangniang's body, so he asked his concubines to come and pick up Niangniang. ”
"The relationship between the royal brother and the imperial sister-in-law is really good." Wuyang smiled and looked at Meng Zhaoyi, thinking that he could see feelings such as jealousy. But Meng Zhaoyi didn't seem to care at all.
"The emperor's mother raised her eyebrows, which is Zhou Tang's blessing. Isn't the princess the same as the khan? Meng Zhaoyi was still smiling, but the meaning of her words sounded a wake-up call for Wuyang. No matter where you marry, you are the princess of Zhou Tang, and you want to work for Zhou Tang.
"That's what Sister Meng said." Wuyang was still smiling, but he felt a little chill behind him.
When she felt as if she was being stared at by someone, the person who was staring at her showed her face. It's just that a face is as warm as if the coldness just now is not around her.
"Yan Yan." The clouds are coming.
"It's still the little grandfather who loves his mother. Niangniang hasn't heard her family call her name for so many years, and she must be happy to hear it now. Meng Zhaoyi glanced at Wuyang, and some words were directly intercepted into Wuyang's stomach.
Meng Zhaoyi is still old in the end, and she has dealt with Wuyang. Others don't know what Wuyang sings, but she knows that this country is easy to change, and her nature is difficult to change. Can Wuyang change his personality because of a Sutai? I'm afraid this is also a joke. It's just acting. Meng Zhaoyi glanced at the lively stage, all of them in this royal family were excellent plays. I'm afraid there will be other tricks later.
When I returned to the Star Picking Tower, everyone was actually tired of carnival. But everyone felt as if the play was not finished.
Sure enough, Wuyang pulled Su Tai's sleeve: "Khan, the concubine hasn't returned to Zhou Tang for a long time." I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to this kind of country sound often tonight. The imperial sister-in-law has a good voice, and if the concubine can listen to the imperial sister-in-law sing a song before she goes back, she will be very content. ”
"Ask Princess Wuyang." Suddenly, Wuyang felt that his ears were wrong. Why did you listen to Luo Hansheng's voice? How could he greet himself.
"When the little grandfather comes back today, the mother hasn't said a few more words to her brother, I'm afraid I won't have time to sing for the princess. Besides, when I saw my brother, my mother cried, and I was afraid that her voice was a little hoarse. Weichen is now giving back his sister to others, it is also difficult to do, the princess is not embarrassed by Your Majesty, nor is it difficult for Weichen to be good? Luo Hansheng bowed, "Weichen thanked the princess." ”
Wuyang was stunned, and immediately calmed down and smiled: "Xiangye is polite." It's the dancing sun that is not good. ”
"Your Majesty." Luo Hansheng turned to Li Yizhe, who was silent, and couldn't help but be a little happy when he saw that man's face was a little ugly, but what he was going to say next. Heh, Luo Hansheng smiled faintly, some things should come or will come, "Today, on this happy day, I ask Your Majesty to give you a marriage." ”
Li Yizhe hooked the corners of his lips: "Which girl did Luo Qing look at?" ”
