Chapter 234: The Dinner Party
Zhao Minmin painted a simple light makeup for Jing Hao, originally this age is a flower and moon appearance, a little powder is very outstanding, and she changed into a plain clothes that show her figure, don't be too conspicuous, lest she be like Wang Zhaojun, it is not a good thing to be remembered by the emperor, Wang Zhaojun got married, and the painter who painted was unlucky, and for Zhao Minmin, he was the painter!
"You'll be honest when you go to face the saint later! Remember! Your Majesty is Your Majesty first, and then your brother-in-law! Zhao Minmin took his sister's hand and walked to the queen's palace, he had been chatting with her all afternoon today, he was not sure, he was always emphasizing and emphasizing!
"Got it! Look at your rambling afternoon! Sister! I haven't seen you for a long time, and when you see it, you will talk about me! Zhao Jinghao was obviously impatient, and was dragged away by her sister's hand.
"Don't play any tricks this time! Father and mother both hope that you can tie the knot with Murong Qin..."Zhao Minmin continued to walk in a low voice, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, and he still felt very anxious to say it.
"Brother-in-law's master is called Murong Qin!" Zhao Jing likes martial arts, she has always wanted to be a chivalrous woman, just now I thought, how good it is to be a master and apprentice with that person, her father always does not teach her martial arts, nor does she ask her to learn from others, if she worships this master, then her father will not dare to say a word again, and the little abacus in his heart crackles.
"You can't call him by name, you have to call him the Commander! You can't even shout master, that's your brother-in-law's master! Zhao Minmin stood and looked at Jing Hao seriously, this child was spoiled at home, why didn't he have this treatment when he was a child! I want to emphasize and emphasize with her.
"Can't I talk at night? I went to be looked at by Murong Qin, he can marry me if he likes it, even if he can't look at it? Zhao Jing felt so uncomfortable, pouting, she was also a young lady raised in the boudoir, what kind of family is this!
"You should speak and speak when you are holy, and if you don't speak, you will be dumb! Your Majesty is not allowed to speak while he is speaking! Ah! Is it too late to teach you the rules at this time! Zhao Minmin was a little anxious, and pulled Jing Hao to walk again, his pace was faster, and he took his sister to the queen, it's not good to be late!
"Sister, look at what you say! I learned the rules in the last draft! Zhao Jing gave her sister a good look, I don't know how many times I have learned the rules at home, I have been learning before the draft, and the surprised mother at home is also tireless in teaching and teaching.
"Amitabha! That's good, that's good, remember, don't talk too much! Don't be killed by you! Zhao Minmin was still a little worried in her heart, and clenched Jinghao's hand.
"The lady has arrived!" The little eunuch screamed: "The noble lady came early, and His Majesty and Niangniang have just arrived!" Ladies please! After speaking, the little eunuch made a gesture of please.
Zhao Minmin pulled Zhao Jinghao and smiled at the little father-in-law and went in, the little father-in-law in front of the queen mother is not an ordinary person, he is more popular than the low-level beauty, and his face is bigger.
"The concubines (courtiers) participate in Your Majesty, see Niangniang!" Zhao Minmin took her sister to salute first.
"Noble get up, come, call Jing Hao to come to the palace, last time I just looked at it from a distance, today my family is here, you can get close and have a good chat." The queen beckoned to Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing took a good look at Zhao Minmin, Zhao Minmin gave her a look, meaning to hurry up!
Zhao Jing lowered her head, and walked to the queen with an embarrassed and docile appearance, Zhuge Sheng also glanced at the side, this lady's sister is upright and young, and she is more beautiful than the lady, this Zhang Nuanyu, what kind of things were selected in the last draft, there is no such one, Zhuge Sheng calculated, if the master falls in love tonight, he will return to the master and give him a marriage; If you don't like it... You're welcome.
"My sister's name is Jinghao, right?" Zhang Nuanyu stepped forward and took Zhao Jinghao's hand, let her sit next to her, and continued: "The true sign of my sister's birth!" Hongu likes it when he looks at it..."
Zhuge Sheng slandered in his heart: Hmph! I don't have to worry about letting you choose a show girl, you see what you choose, and I'm embarrassed to tell me the real sign in front of me! Which of those beauties has such a mark!
"I'm embarrassed to praise her..."Zhao Minmin was busy playing haha, before the last draft, she begged the queen mother early, so that she must be Jing Hao lost, but none of the beauties selected can be compared with Jing, the queen is really not afraid of His Majesty's anger, even she can't stand it.
Zhao Jing didn't dare to look up at the queen last time, she looked at it from a distance, and she was teased with a brand, this time she raised her head and looked at it, and lowered her head again, the most is the gentleness of the bowed head, Zhuge Sheng really likes it, and his heart is missing half a beat, such a look, how can he give a brand!
"It's still young, it's good, you see a little bit of powder." The more the queen looked at it, the more she liked it, and she felt that the master would definitely like it after watching it, and her own medium would definitely be successful, and she would become an immortal in the future.
"Your Majesty, the Great Commander is here, waiting at the door." The little eunuch at the door hurriedly came to pray.
"Please!" Zhuge Sheng hurriedly stood up to show respect.
"The ministers see Your Majesty, see the queen mother, the lady of the lady!" Murong Qin knelt down and bowed when he came in, he could only see everyone's feet, and looked down, the woman next to the queen must be the woman who is going to meet tonight, looking at the clothes underneath is quite plain, it must be a plain woman.
"Master, there are no outsiders here, please hurry up, don't be so restrained!" Zhuge Sheng stepped forward to help him, and in front of Zhao Jinghao, he still had to show his status as a master.
"Your Majesty Xie..."Murong Qin knew the purpose of coming this time, and he was embarrassed to raise his head, so he walked to Zhuge Sheng and stood next to Zhuge Sheng with his head down.
"Everyone is here tonight, let's have a meal together, and give the two of you some time to chat alone, master, okay?" The queen asked Murong Qin.
"It's up to Your Majesty and Niangniang to decide!" Murong Qin didn't look up, but lowered his head even more, and the old guy was also shy...
"Then let's eat first, Jinyu, let's serve the food!" The queen turned back to Jinyu and said, Jinyu retreated after listening.
"Master, this is the sister-in-law of the noble lady. Sister Jing, this is Master Murong Qin, but His Majesty's master, he is good at swordsmanship, and he used to be a master on Hima Mountain..."The queen mother made an introduction first.
"Master Murong is good, Jing is polite." Zhao Jing squatted for a while, which was considered a courtesy.
Murong Qin was busy making a gesture at Jing Hao, and he didn't dare to look at others, but looked at the ground: "The son-in-law is good." ”
"Look at it, the two of you are so reserved, let's eat first!" Zhuge Sheng himself went to his place and sat down first, and only when he sat down could others sit. The queen saw that he sat down first, and also sat down next to him, the noble man sat on the other side of the emperor, Murong Qin and Zhao Jinghao were not so easy to sit, they were not sitting anywhere, today's family banquet, but it was a round table, everyone ate at the same table, and it was inconvenient for Murong Qin and Zhao Jing to sit anywhere, so they could only wait for the arrangement.
"Sister Jing come and sit next to the palace, the master sits next to Sister Jing!" The queen's palace, she naturally has to arrange.
"Yes!" Zhao Jinghao lowered her head and went to sit next to the queen, and Murong Qin also sat next to her.
The two of them ate the kind of meal that didn't say much, and this blind date atmosphere was too embarrassing. The ladies didn't dare to talk much, and only the emperor and queen kept talking on the scene.
"Concubine Shu will go back first." After Zhuge Sheng finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and then remedied: "There is nothing wrong with Min Min, I have been following me for so many years, and the master has also checked, it is definitely not Min Min's fault, and the position will be restored to the position of concubine first, and wait for some time... Take it a step further. ”
"Concubine Xie Your Majesty!" Zhao Minmin hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, before his sister's matter was decided, he was promoted first, and when his sister's matter was decided, he was considered someone in the palace, this master was his brother-in-law, how could he be biased towards himself, and then he had an heir, hum, the queen of the harem could compare with her!
"Congratulations to Sister Shufei, these days this palace is shouting Shugui is very awkward!" The queen also followed suit, turned her face to look at Zhao Jinghao, and said to Murong Qin: "Sister Jing and the master will go to the imperial garden for a walk..."
"Retire!"
"The courtiers are retired!"
Zhuge Sheng and Zhang Nuanyu went back to the dormitory, Concubine Shu went back to her palace, Zhao Jinghao followed behind Murong Qin, the two didn't say a word, and walked awkwardly.
There are also many flowers blooming in the imperial garden in Nanyue at night, and there is a faint fragrance from a distance.
Syllable! Zhao Jinghao was bitten by a mosquito when he walked behind Murong Qin, and he killed the mosquito when he went up.
"Son-in-law, there are a lot of mosquitoes here, and I'm also a boring person, otherwise, you can go back first..." Murong Qin didn't speak when he saw her, he didn't know what people looked like until now, he kept his head down, there was no woman in the valley for so many years, and now he doesn't need any women to accompany him, and he just can't shirk the emperor's kindness.
"Master Murong, can I learn swordsmanship from you?" Zhao Jinghao has one purpose today, wanting to learn swordsmanship from Murong Qin.
"This..."Murong Qin didn't know how to answer for a while, raised his head and glanced at her, thinking about the answer, but when he looked up, Zhao Jing was good in the dark, and his hazy beauty revealed a quirky playfulness and cuteness, and his eyes were clear and bright.
"Master Murong, my father didn't let me learn swordsmanship and martial arts, nor did he ask anyone to teach me." Zhao Jinghao felt that she couldn't say much to this master, so she had to pick up important things to say and let him agree, and then said: "I have wanted to be a chivalrous girl since I was a child!" But no one wants to..."After speaking, he didn't forget to take out the handkerchief and prepare to fake crying.
"What's so hard about that?" Murong Qin laughed, this girl looked really interesting.
"Really?!" Zhao Jinghao's face suddenly changed, and her face was full of excitement.
"I can't teach my son-in-law in the imperial garden, why don't I ask Concubine Shuniang to take you to the guard camp another day and I'll teach you again, okay?" Murong Qin lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at it again, it was rude.
"My sister won't take me there, the master is bluffing me... Ay! Forget it, I'm used to it too. Zhao Jinghao felt that it was not sincere at all when she heard that another day.
"I never lie!" Murong Qin raised his head and looked at her again: "If the son-in-law can trust me, I can take you to the guard camp to teach you some simple moves now, but this is not something that can be learned overnight, you have to lay the foundation, and it will take a long time..."
"Master is talking, then let's hurry up and go to the guard camp!" When Zhao Jing heard that she was really willing to teach her to forget all the etiquette to Java, she stepped forward and pulled Murong Qin's sleeve to leave.
Murong Qin has never been so close to anyone, not to mention that she is still a woman, but fortunately, the moonlight is dark, and her old face is red to the root of her ears.
"Son-in-law, it's not that direction, this way..."Murong Qin stopped in the opposite direction.
"Master, don't call me a son-in-law, call me quiet, the master is really willing to teach me, so kowtow to the master!" Zhao Jinghao let go of the sleeve she was holding and was about to kneel, how could Murong Qin tell her to kneel, and hurriedly helped her, the two came back to look at each other head-on, intimate contact, Murong Qin held her arm, looked at her eyes, and heard her own heartbeat, bang, bang!
"Jing, Miss Jinghao, you really can't kneel here, this is the Imperial Garden, you can only kneel to the emperor..." Murong Qin hurriedly let go of his hand after helping her stand up and took a step back.
"Yes, master, the apprentice is so stunned that he forgets what kind of place this is." Zhao Jing was embarrassed to pretend to be a lady again, took out a handkerchief and lowered her head and wrapped it around.
"This way, please..."Murong Qin pointed to the road over there.
"Yes, yes, master." Zhao Jing was so busy walking behind Murong Qin.
The two stopped talking again, walking one after the other, Murong Qin felt that he was really... I don't know if it's the iron tree flowering, it's rare to want to talk to her and stay a little longer. Zhao Jing was in the back, Ye Ye Ye, he didn't dare to make a sound, he was happy in his heart, the emperor's brother-in-law's master was willing to teach himself, and his father would definitely have no way to stop himself from doing such a thing, which was really good!
"Female...!" Murong Qin wanted to talk to Zhao Jinghao, but the girl who followed behind didn't look at the road, and suddenly bumped into his arms, touched her forehead and grinned and took a step back, Murong Qin looked at her with a smile and said: "Son-in-law, oh, Miss Jinghao, here, the guard camp is full of men, how inconvenient, you can practice in the open space next to this, you see?" ”
"Listen to the master!" Zhao Jing looked at Murong Qin and gave him a big smile, this master is older than himself, bigger than his sister, but he has the masculinity and integrity of a person who practices martial arts, and he looks very safe and trustworthy! Favorability doubled!
"Actually, you have to practice squatting first, and then do warm-up exercises, but Miss Jinghao didn't bring a sword tonight, and it takes a long time to squat and warm up here, and the uterine door will be closed..."
"It's okay! I'm going to stay with my sister tonight! Zhao Jing didn't understand, but she understood that the palace gate was closed, she wouldn't leave the palace tonight, what did it matter if it was closed.
"So that's the case, I showed Miss Jing Hao the first chapter of the first form, Miss is optimistic! If the young lady is not in a hurry to leave the palace tomorrow morning, you can also come here to find me, let's start by squatting and practicing hard! It's just a matter of accepting apprentices, Qin can't make decisions on his own..."Murong Qin picked up a branch and showed it to her.
"Wow! The master is amazing! Zhao Jinghao looked at Murong Qin with complete admiration, like a little fan girl, Murong Qin laughed embarrassedly, and the old man was also drunk...
"Yes, it's actually that simple, I'll find a short sword for Miss Jinghao tomorrow morning, and Miss Jing will practice first..."Murong Qin handed the branch in his hand to Zhao Jinghao and asked her to come too. Zhao Jing took the branch excitedly and did what Murong Qin had just done.
"Master, do you think that's the case?" Zhao Jing posed and asked hurriedly, Murong Qin saw that the difference was still very big, he stepped forward to hold her hand, and repeated the action just now, the moment the two of them held their hands, they were a little electrocuted, Murong Qin gritted his teeth and hurriedly took a few steps back and said to her: "Trespassing!" ”
"Master, just tell me to be quiet, don't add any more misses, this trick is really amazing, wow!" Zhao Jinghao came again with a branch.
"It's quiet, it's not like that, it's still not right." Murong Qin stepped forward again, grabbed her hand, and took her to demonstrate.
"Mmmm, master, what should I do if I want to learn every day in the future?" Zhao Jing has to go home after having breakfast tomorrow morning, so that he can practice again tomorrow morning, and this matter will come to an end, Murong Qin is in the palace every day, and he can't enter the palace every day.
"Why don't I go and talk to General Zhao, every day I will take some time to go to the house to teach you for a while, just say first, I only accepted one apprentice from His Majesty, you must not be able to apprentice, only learn art... Luckily? After Murong Qin finished speaking, he felt that he must be a ghost.
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Jing was so happy that she was about to fly.
"Then I'll send Jing Hao back to Concubine Shu Niangniang first, as soon as the time arrives tomorrow morning, I will wait here for Miss and teach you for half an hour, okay?" Murong Qin looked at the little girl in front of him and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Jing was so happy that she didn't know how to express it.
"Okay, let's go this way." Murong Qin made a gesture of invitation.
"Master, my father is not very good at talking, I'm worried..." Zhao Jing really wanted to go to his father's resolute attitude, and was a little worried.
"Don't worry, I have my own way to make General Zhao want you to learn, but, one point, this will have an impact on the girl's name, I am also a foreign man, and I go to teach it every day..."
"That's... Can you only make a promise with your body? Zhao Jinghao was happy just now, and he didn't expect these for a while, as soon as he said it, it was true, but he really wanted to be a chivalrous girl, did he really want to marry him?
Murong Qin was taken aback by her boldness and straightforwardness, in fact, he was really satisfied with this girl, so he didn't want to accept her as an apprentice.
"Master, I really want to be a chivalrous girl, I also like the master, I'm not talking about that kind of like, yes, that's it, it's that simple like, that's..."
"Yes, I know what the girl meant!" Murong Qin stopped, and Zhao Jinghao hit his head in his arms again.
"Master, tonight I just asked the master to take a look at me, if the master can take a fancy to me, Jing Hao is willing..."Zhao Jinghao said more and more quietly.
Murong Qin was naturally willing in her heart, but she just felt that she married herself in order to learn martial arts, and she felt a little ...
"Miss's flower and moon are as beautiful as a fairy, diligent and ugly, and old, if Miss wants to learn swordsmanship, it is not impossible to teach, and there is no need for Miss to promise this..."Murong Qin also said that the more he spoke, the quieter his voice became.
"No, no, no, the master has the masculinity of a mature and stable man, Jing Hao just feels that he has just met the master, and I am afraid that the master will think that Jing Hao is a random person... In fact, Jing Hao is just a poor person raised in the deep boudoir, and he has the dream of a chivalrous woman in his heart..."Zhao Jinghao is also entangled, whether it is to learn swordsmanship, and then improve his reputation, he really wants to marry this man who is nearly twenty years older than himself.
"Quiet, you go back and think about it, if the time comes, tomorrow morning, I will tell Your Majesty to give marriage, if the girl is still in the future, then I will find General Zhao, let him teach you some simple moves in the future, there is nothing wrong with the girl learning some, it will be beneficial to strengthen the body!" Murong Qin felt that it was better to tell her to think slowly, it was not difficult for her, if she was willing, of course she would be happy, if she was unwilling, she would be used to it alone anyway.
"Master, Jing Hao is still afraid that the master will dislike it, Jing Hao is willing... Don't wait for tomorrow..."Zhao Jinghao strengthened the thought in his heart, raised his head and looked at Murong Qin firmly.
"It's quiet..."Murong Qin's heart fluctuated, this girl really liked it the more she looked at it, and the more she looked at it, the more cute she became.
"Hmm..." Zhao Jinghao lowered his head, took the handkerchief and smiled, the gentleness of the bowed head, Murong Qin was also stunned, when had he ever seen such a thing.
"Well, tomorrow I will wait for you at the gate of the palace of the lady concubine, pick you up here to practice, tomorrow I will go to His Majesty to give marriage, marry you earlier, teach you swordsmanship, I can also not be a great commander in the future, take you to the end of the world, be a real chivalrous woman, you see... Luckily? Murong Qin suddenly had this idea, there was another person in his world, and he had to think about her.
"Hmm..."Zhao Jinghao was embarrassed, the little girl's shyness was written on her face, and she said to Murong Qin: "See you tomorrow morning." ran away, leaving Murong Qin, who was standing there and watching her back, was also happy in his heart.
"It's really called Niangniang, it's right, it's such a sign and interesting person, all these years, I didn't know that I would be tempted by love words again! Experiencing the taste of this love makes people can't refuse and has an endless aftertaste. Murong Qin stood in place and watched for a long time, and he suddenly felt that tonight was a long night, and it was so long that when it would be dawn before he could see that lovely person again.
