315 Break
"Hahaha......"
Mu Nai's high-pitched and bold laughter echoed in everyone's ears, lingering with the mountain breeze behind the mountain......
Xu Jingsi was hugged by him across her chest, the black and supple green silk half covered her beautiful jade-like face, which looked more and more bewitching and moving, and the wide sleeves and corners of the robe also hung down, revealing her fair and delicate feet.
It had been hidden by the floor-length robes, and it was only now that everyone noticed that her feet were naked, slender and small, and that she wore a pair of red gold carved foot rings on her ankles, and her toes seemed to glow in the bright sun.
Offend public decency! The brows of the Lord He in the seat furrowed even tighter, suppressed the anger in his heart, and lowered his eyes and looked away.
Feng Yan's eyes were also surging with anger, boiling like magma, as if they would erupt at any time......
Wen Wuchen secretly pulled Feng Yan's sleeve and shook his head at him.
The sound of the horn soon sounded again, and this time, the long sound of the horn became high-pitched and majestic, as if announcing something.
The people of the capital outside the palace also seemed to hear the sound of the trumpet, and from outside there were cheers like thunder like waves, one after another, and the people were cheering and jumping for the birth of a new king......
Looking at the ministers in front of him who bowed their heads to him, and listening to the cheers from afar, Mu Nai became more and more radiant, and there seemed to be a kingly aura all over his body.
"Everybody get up." After Mu Nai ordered everyone to sit down in Pu language, he looked at Feng Yan and the others again, and said in Dasheng language, "All the Dasheng VIPs who have come from afar, please stay for a few more days to participate in my enthronement ceremony." ”
Feng Yan stood up and clasped his fists at Mu Nai: "Thank you for the king's kindness, but we are disrespectful." ”
Mu Nai said hello repeatedly, and a burst of hearty laughter came out of his throat, and he said loudly: "Today is my big day, everyone drink and enjoy themselves!" ”
The singer musician on the side has long been on standby for this moment, and they appeared in an orderly manner.
The cheerful and melodious music sounded, and one by one the brightly dressed dancers entered the venue, dancing lightly in the center of the platform, rotating and bending their waists, their arms flipped and moved with the music, and the wide skirts covered with folds flew with the dancing of the dancers, just like butterflies trampling among the flowers, beautiful as a fairyland.
Those guests were immersed in this song and dance, all of them were in high spirits, and at this moment, no one cared about the eldest prince Chi Deru.
Success and defeat are the same truth for thousands of years.
No matter how humble the background of the second prince Mu Nai is, since he has won, then he is a well-deserved monarch of their Pu country!
Mu Nai had already sat down on the throne of the next prince, raised his glass and drank first, and the others also raised their wines to salute him, and then raised their heads and took a sip.
Mu Nai gave another order to the entourage beside him, and then a group of female slaves wearing goose-yellow open-bellied skirts and tulle entered the arena one after another, walking towards the guests on both sides of the seats.
The Pu guests spontaneously took the beautiful female slave in their arms, their faces flushed, and their palms wantonly stroked the naked arms and waists of the female slaves......
Mu Nai laughed when he saw this, and said directly: "Everyone don't want to see outside, just bring back what you like!" ”
Immediately, two or three patriarchs responded with a smile, saying polite words such as "you're welcome" and "thank you, Your Majesty", and the banquet became more and more lively and noisy, and there was a staggered sound of staggering.
However, several female slaves were waved back, and the female slaves took two steps back and stood behind, somewhat at a loss.
The strangeness of this place naturally attracted Mu Nai's attention, he frowned slightly, raised his hand and made a gesture, and the music around him stopped abruptly, and the dancers who were dancing in the center of the room also stopped.
For a moment, there was silence all around, as if time had stood still at this moment, and only the sound of some grass and trees swaying echoed in my ears, and the trees wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop.
Mu Nai looked at Feng Yan and the others diagonally opposite, and the smile on his face suddenly retracted.
"Feng Gongzi," Mu Nai's voice was slightly cold, and he no longer had the politeness before the ceremony, and his extremely excited eyes were still covered with dense red blood, like a fierce beast, "The envoys of Dasheng don't even want the beauties of our country, don't you look down on my country!" ”
He was colder than every, as if he was about to fall out of the ice slag, and the temperature around him dropped sharply with his words, as if he had suddenly entered the cold winter moon, which was in extreme contrast with the previous bustle and hustle and bustle.
The rest of the Pu people around were silent, with different expressions, some casually pinching the slave girl, some slowly drinking wine, and some sitting on the wall with mocking faces, all waiting for the development of the situation.
Master He, who was separated from Feng Yan by a few seats, frowned, although he couldn't get used to the barbaric style of these Pu people, he wouldn't be stupid enough to be so unhappy at the other party's banquet, isn't this a slap in the face of this new king?!
Sure enough, there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm!
In the dozens of scorching eyes around him, Feng Yan still drank the wine in the cup calmly, put down the wine glass in his hand casually, and asked with a smile: "Does the king mean to say these women...... Can you represent your country?! ”
Mu Nai's eyes widened, his face became heavier, and he subconsciously clenched the wine glass in his hand, if it weren't for the fact that this wine glass was gold, I was afraid that it would have been crushed by him with one palm.
These women are just slave girls, humble as dust, and their life and death are just a matter of the words of anyone present, and no one will care at all.
How can these lowly slave girls represent their country?!
Sparks burst into the air, like a tense bowstring.
There are also people who secretly look at Xu Jingsi who is looking in front of her, as the lord of Dasheng and the queen of Puguo, she can be said to be the link between the two countries, if the new king and Dasheng's envoys are unhappy, or even rise to the dispute between the two countries, it will also cause her position in Puguo to become embarrassing.
However, Xu Jingsi, who was sitting on the main seat, seemed to have seen nothing, ignored it, leaned lazily on the back of the chair behind her, and drank wine with a smile, her charming eyes seemed to be dyed with a faint drunkenness, her hair, her fingertips, her smile, and her eyes were all full of extreme beauty, like the legendary nine-tailed fox fairy.
Fu Qian on the side saw that the atmosphere between Feng Yan and Mu Nai was not right, and he was a little nervous, and he was thinking about whether to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, but Mu Nai laughed heartily again.
"I'm just joking, don't mind Feng Gongzi." As he spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand again, blocked it in front of his face, concealed the unhappiness in his eyes, and said casually, "I'll do it first as respect!" ”
He boldly drank the wine from the glass, then flipped the rim downwards to indicate that there was no drop of wine.
Although many Pu people around couldn't understand Dasheng's words, they smiled again when they saw Mu Nai, knowing that this matter was revealed.
The cheerful music soon began to sound again, and the dancers, who had stood dumbfounded for a while, breathed a sigh of relief and continued to dance, while the others on the platform turned their attention to the light song and dance in front of them, talking and laughing, eating and drinking.
This small turmoil passed at once, and it seemed that it did not leave a ripple at the banquet, and the platform became more and more lively, and those ministers of Pu were red-faced, but they were still drinking cup after cup......
Everyone was holding wine glasses, but Wen Wuchen in a wheelchair was holding a tea bowl, drinking the salty milk tea in the tea bowl, looking comfortable, as if there was an invisible barrier to isolate him from the staggered sounds around him.
His jet-black green silk was softly draped over his shoulders, reflecting a faint brilliance in the sun, a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and the whole person sat there quietly, like a jade statue carved from flawless jade, indescribably warm and moist, as if a fairy descended to earth.
He drank tea leisurely, his eyes scanning the surroundings as if he were casually, but he was secretly watching the reactions of everyone.
Xu Jingsi was the same as before the ceremony, still careless and didn't care, as if whoever was the new king had nothing to do with her.
The patriarchs of the other nine clans behaved differently, most of them were very attentive to the new king Mu Nai, and toasted and congratulated him from time to time, some people were lukewarm, and some people, such as the patriarch of the Gansong tribe, were absent-minded, and their expressions were very complicated, and it seemed that they still couldn't believe that the "weak" second prince would defeat his grandson.
People's hearts are different, but each is like its face.
Whether it's Dasheng or Puguo, it's the same.
Because of this, they have a chance to carve out a way out of the chaos.
The corners of Wen Wuchen's mouth were slightly hooked, and his expression was still so warm, like flowing water, like Qinglan, like a bright moon, it seemed that the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the wind was weak.
One song was played, followed by another, the enthusiastic and unrestrained drums and strings sounded intertwined, and the men and women of the maiko sang and danced with tambourines, full of vitality, and the exotic singing and dancing made several great envoys look at it intently......
The banquet lasted for nearly two hours before it ended, and the guests either stayed in the palace for the time being, or left the palace and scattered, including them.
When the sun set in the west, they returned to the inn. Seeing that there were no Pu people around, Lord He, who had been suppressed for most of the day, erupted like a volcano:
"Shameless! Cheap! ”
"The son marries the mother, he is not ashamed, but proud!"
"Brother and brother, it is clear that he is not disrespectful, and he is respected as the king!"
"Gathering crowds for adultery, can't bear to look at it, it's really unheard of, unseen!"
Lord He talked endlessly, and his whole face turned red, as if he was about to explode in the next moment.
This time, Master He was still a little sensible, and he didn't dare to reprimand Xu Jingsi in front of Feng Yan again, and only said that Pu Guoren was from Pu Guo, but his dissatisfaction with Xu Jingsi had already overflowed.
Feng Yan looked at Lord He lightly, and said with a smile: "Lord He, if you can't stand it, why don't you go back to Beijing early?" Lest the personnel of this Pu country pollute the eyes of Lord He! ”
"......" Lord He's mouth opened and closed, although he longed to leave the uncivilized barbarian land of Pu immediately, but he still remembered that he had a heavy responsibility on this trip. Before leaving, the emperor specially announced to him and warned him that there were three purposes for this trip, one was to see the attitude of the new king of Puguo towards Dasheng, the second was to persuade the lord of Xinle to stay in Puguo, and finally, the most important purpose was to monitor Feng Yan.
Feng Yan didn't leave, how could he go, how dare he go!
Master He's face was a little embarrassed, and he cleared his throat and said, "Feng Gongzi, you and I have a holy order, how can you be happy for your own selfishness!" Hey, the Buddha said: I don't go to hell, who goes to hell! ”
He made righteous words, but all he got was the cold and sneering eyes of the others, and Lord He became more and more embarrassed, and under the pretext of being tired, he retired.
Mu Jinfan and the others also returned to their own rooms, but Wen Wuchen remained in Feng Yan's room.
Sunlight poured in through the open windows, illuminating the room in a golden-red color.
Feng Yan personally pushed Wen Wuchen's wheelchair to the window, and there was a chessboard on the square table by the window, and the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard were scattered...... There is also a chess book on the side.
Thinking that he could see Xu Jingsi today, Feng Yan barely slept last night, and as soon as the first ray of light from the morning dawn star illuminated the sky, he got up.
Since there was nothing to do, he simply set up a chess game according to the chess game, which he had ordered from Zhen Zhen before leaving, and it was Zhen Zhen who rearranged some of the remnants of her collection and assembled them into a book......
Thinking of Zhen Zhen, a bright streamer like a meteor flashed under Feng Yan's eyes.
Wen Wuchen looked at the endgame on the chessboard, and vaguely guessed that Feng Yan must have tossed and turned all night last night, and his heart was uneasy.
Feng Yan poured tea for Wen Wuchen again, pouring Mao Feng from Dasheng, the big fish and meat at the banquet just now, just drink some Mao Feng to relieve the greasy.
"Ah Yan, what did the county lord say?" Wen Wuchen asked straight to the point, his eyes casually scanning the chess game in front of him, this game of chess has reached the middle game, the sunspot is unstoppable, like a winding black dragon on the chessboard, and the white son has become chaotic under the fierce attack of the sunspot......
Feng Yan was pouring tea for himself, and when he heard the words, the movements in his hands paused slightly, and the sound of pouring tea was interrupted for a while, and then the sound of water continued to sound.
After the sound of pouring tea stopped, Feng Yan roughly told him how he was taken to see Xu Jingsi by the slave girl, including Xu Jingsi's unexpectation that Feng Yan would represent Dasheng as an envoy to Pu Guo, including her evaluation of the two princes, and some of her plans...... Some words, Xu Jingsi said it lightly before, but when Feng Yan relayed it at this time, there was blood in every word, so that he almost had to use all his strength to say it word by word.
After a while, only Feng Yan's voice was left in the room, and Wen Wuchen's eyes were half-drooping, as if he was listening, and he seemed to be staring at the chessboard in front of him.
In the room, there were obviously two people sitting, but there was a faint loneliness and depression in the air.
After Feng Yan finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea a little absentmindedly.
A slight sound of chess pieces colliding suddenly sounded, and Wen Wuchen picked up a white piece from the chess box, and the white cloud was as white and immaculate as the frost-colored robe with silver threads on his body, sacrosanct.
"Smack!"
Without hesitation, Wen Wuchen put the white piece in his hand in the upper right corner of the chessboard.
He smiled slightly, his eyes flashed, his dark eyes were bright and warm, and he said, "The county lord has been an idea since she was a child. As he spoke, there was a hint of embarrassment in his tone, "Back then, she also asked for and kissed Pu Guo...... earned a way for the Xu family to make a living. ”
Feng Yan looked at the chessboard in front of him, with the addition of this white son, the chess game that had been decided was like a pebble falling into the lake, rippling in a circle, and the chess game underwent an extremely subtle change, which seemed to be lingering, and seemed to vaguely reveal a trace of vitality.
Wen Wuchen may not know, but Feng Yan knows that this game of chess is actually not finished, and the move that Wen Wuchen took at this moment is completely different from the chess score.
Feng Yan's thin lips pursed into a straight line, and his gaze straightened slightly.
They came to Puguo to meet Xu Jingsi and see if she wanted to return to Dasheng, or if she already had other plans, and then decide on the next move.
Feng Yan picked up a sunspot from the chess box, and landed according to the way of the chess game, and the sunspot was aggressive.
Wen Wuchen seemed to be a little surprised, glanced at Feng Yan, twisted up another grain of white, and suddenly changed his words and said, "I'm afraid that the morning competition will be boring." ”
Feng Yan looked at Wen Wuchen and raised his eyebrows with interest.
For the morning competition, in fact, he also felt a little strange.
According to the momentum of the first half of the game, the eldest prince is obviously better than the second prince, and according to the reactions of the surrounding Pu people, the eldest prince should be stronger than the second prince in martial arts on weekdays.
"I saw that the eyes of the second prince Mu Nai were bloodshot, his pupils were dilated, his muscles were bruised, and his whole body seemed to be in a state of extreme excitement, even after the competition, his forehead and the back of his neck continued to sweat profusely...... Nine times out of ten, he was able to turn defeat into victory because he took some kind of drug to increase strength, speed, and so on. Wen Wuchen speculated unhurriedly, and another white seed fell.
Feng Yan squinted his eyes, carefully thinking about some details in the previous competition, especially Mu Nai's expression, movements, and complexion at that time...... Sure enough, as Wen Wuchen said.
Feng Yan thoughtfully played with the sunspot in his hand, rolling from the index finger to the tail finger, and from the tail finger to the index finger at will, his slender fingers were flexible and agile, and the chess pieces were like a part of his body.
"The eldest prince Chi Deru probably didn't expect that he would lose." Feng Yan said as he dropped another shot according to the chess game. Chi Deru thought that he was winning, but he didn't expect to be overshadowed by the second prince.
Wen Wuchen nodded, and his right hand touched the chess box again, "I'm afraid the eldest prince's grandfather is not convinced......"
In Pu country, the eldest prince's mother, the Gansong clan, is the most powerful clan besides the Fu clan, and there are also many small clans attached to him.
If it is a fair decisive battle today, and the strong are respected, even if the eldest prince loses, the Gansong clan will admit it. However, in today's competition, the second prince won not without flaws, and when the patriarch of the Gansong clan and the eldest prince think about it carefully, they will know that something is wrong, and maybe they can also see the clues, and the Gansong clan will definitely not accept it.
The ten tribes of Puguo on this plateau, for hundreds of years, have all respected the strong, and once the person who ascended to the throne was not a strong man, he could not suppress these ambitious people below.
Now that the second prince has won, he has actually created a great hidden danger for himself, but unfortunately, he thinks very highly of himself, and he is afraid that he has not thought of it.
As Wen Wuchen spoke, a third white seed fell.
It was just a three-move move, and the game was turned upside down, and the white son was alive again, while the black man, who was originally entrenched on the chessboard like a dragon, was crumbling, like a building about to collapse......
Feng Yan didn't continue, and the sunspots on the chess game just came to this point.
Next, as long as you take a wrong step, the sunspot is afraid that it will collapse completely......
Wen Wuchen didn't urge him, quietly looked at the unpredictable chess game in front of him, and looked at the chess book on the side again, the beautiful handwriting on the cover made Wen Wuchen's eyes linger for a moment.
Ah Yan's sweetheart, Ah Yan's aunt, and Ah Yan's mother...... But she is not a simple woman.
"I don't know if the current situation was deliberately arranged by the county lord," Wen Wuchen said slowly, "Ah Yan, you have to find a chance to meet her again." Let's wait and see what happens for the time being, and we can't act at will, so as not to miss the county lord's arrangement...... "Let her so many years of forbearance and dormancy fall short!"
"The new king came to the throne ten days later......"
This meant that they had to try to meet Xu Jingsi before that.
The room was quiet, but there was still a lot of noise outside, and today was a day of great joy for the people of the capital and the whole of Pu Kingdom, immersed in the joy of deciding a new king.
Inside and outside the city, gongs and drums, strings, singing, cheers...... One after another, all kinds of voices were intertwined, resounding in the sky above Jinluo City.
His Zhen Zhen likes to watch the excitement the most, and if she is here, she will be happy. Feng Yan looked at the blue sky, and his soul flew into the sky and thought.
At the beginning of the unitary period, the sun in Pu was still hanging high, and in the distant Dasheng, the sunset was about to set, and he reluctantly looked down below.
Duanmufei, who was sitting by the window of the hall in a daze, suddenly felt an itchy nose, hmm, could it be that she drank too much ice sherbet today and got cold?! She's going to have to drink some hot ginger soup......
Duanmu Fei was about to call Bi Chan, when she heard someone next to her shouting "Duanmu Four Girls", she suddenly came back to her senses and subconsciously followed the voice.
"The last one is the words of the fourth girl of Duanmu!" In the center of the hall, a little girl in pink said with a smile, and beckoned to Duanmu Fei, "Fourth girl Duanmu, Mrs. Zhang is going to comment on your words next, come and listen." ”
There were seven or eight girls beside the little girl in pink, all of them clustered around a fair-skinned woman with a primrose-colored crane title Lingzhi carved silk gown, and there were five or six girls sitting around the hall, talking and laughing in twos and threes.
That elegant woman is one of the three women who came to Beijing in early June - Mrs. Zhang, one of the four great families, the head of the Huaibei Zhang family, and a talented woman who can write poetry and paint, so she is full of fame.
Duanmu stood up generously and walked towards Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang looked graceful and noble, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, and looked at Duanmufei quietly, and the eyes of the other girls also looked at Duanmufei.
Duanmufei quickly walked up to Mrs. Zhang, blessed her, and said with a smile: "There is Mrs. Lao Zhang's guidance." ”
Duanmu Fei came to Ningjiang Palace with the emperor, Han Xing and others three days ago to escape the summer.
Han Xing didn't deceive her, this Ningjiang Palace in Jizhou is indeed a good place to escape the summer, after Duanmu Fei came here, she wandered around, today she came to this Qinglan Hall with Han Xing and Dangui to enjoy the lotus and feed the fish, but I didn't expect the famous Mrs. Zhang to come suddenly. Dangui knew that Mrs. Zhang was a person who could write poetry and paint, so she asked the other party to comment on a small poem she had just written.
Dangui likes to write poems, but her poems are really "indescribable", and Mrs. Zhang simply commented on her words euphemistically.
That's all there is to it.
However, seven or eight more girls happened to come in, and seeing this, they also asked Mrs. Zhang to comment on their words, and they looked like they were united.
Thinking of the scene just now, Duanmu Fei wanted to sigh in his heart.
These three girls' families can form a vegetable market, not to mention, there are a total of fifteen or sixteen girls' families here, they are like many sparrows, you say a word to me, at first they only say "I", gradually, "I" became "we", inexplicably, just to feed the fish Duanmu Fei also became a part of it.
The palace maids serving in the palace directly prepared the pen and ink tables and chairs, and the ink that had been ground could not be wasted.
Compared with other girls who tried their best to write more than two or three fonts, Duanmu Fei just made up a number and responded to a scene.
She only writes these four words, and she has her own reasons.
