The emperor sitting on a rosewood Taishi chair by the window leaned back against a purple cloud brocade pillow, looking at the gift list in his hand expressionlessly, with ten lines at a glance.

It was only a few breaths, and he finished reading.

There is also an excerpt on the small square table in the emperor's hand, which is the excerpt of the joint book of the northwest tribes, and most of the excerpt is written in a sprinkled manner, which can be summed up as the five girls of the Weiguo Mansion who show off their wisdom, know books and reason, and are dignified and dignified, and only praise her so that this woman should only have in the sky, and at the end of the excerpt, they jointly asked the emperor to make her the crown princess.

The little waiter in Tsing Yi who was serving on the side glanced at the fold, and immediately withdrew his gaze, and stood with his hands lowered and pleasing to his eyes.

I saw that the ink on the new fold was still fresh, but there was already a deep crease in the corner of the fold, and there was a puddle of hazel tea stains.

The Emperor's gaze moved from the list to the fold, and the shrewd eyes became violent and deep little by little, as if a storm was brewing in them.

More than two hours ago, the emperor received this excerpt from the northwest tribe, which was personally sent by Cen Yin, saying that he could not call the shots of this excerpt, and tactfully told him the contents of the excerpt.

At that time, the emperor was furious, and when he saw the fold with his own eyes, he was even more furious, so angry that he threw the fold and smashed the cup, and it was difficult to calm his anger.

Geng Hai, he's so bold!

He had secretly gathered the Northwest tribes, which was obviously trying to use these tribes to force himself as the emperor.

Sure enough, the so-called Sun Xiangu was arranged by Geng Hai to build momentum for his daughter.

No wonder there are so-called "phoenix girl life" and "purple qi from the sky"......

No, it's not just Sun Daogu who pretends to be a ghost, but also these tribes......

"Geng Hai really has the ability to make these Northwest princes jointly write a book!" The emperor listened to the praise, but the thick mockery in his tone could be heard by anyone.

"Your Majesty," Cen Yin, who had been standing quietly on the side for a while, stepped forward half a step, "I remember hearing the emperor say that it was the Duke of Wei Guo who proposed that these remote tribes come to the capital to ......congratulate him."

Cen Yin's feminine voice was neither light nor heavy, as if he said it casually.

The emperor's eyes flashed like a marquee, how did Geng Hai persuade himself, and he couldn't wait to coax himself to make an order......

I see!

The emperor's eyes changed brightly and secretly, and his face turned even bluer.

It turned out that Geng Hai had already planned, and he deliberately brought these tribal princes to the capital, so that it would be convenient for him to connect with them, and then he forced himself to commit it by saying "phoenix life"!

Geng Hai really played a big game of chess!

The emperor clenched the gift list with one hand, pointed to the gift list with the other, and snorted coldly: "Such a heavy gift, they are generous enough!" Not only was it heavier than the gift I gave to me when I came to Beijing, but I also forwarded all the rewards I gave them. How unreasonable! "Dare to love, all these twists and turns are fattening his Geng Hai's pocket!

The more the emperor spoke, the angrier he became, and the more he spoke, the more he felt so.

The air around him became solemn with his voice and sentences, and it was clear that there were two charcoal basins lit in the room, but the little waiter in Tsing Yi felt a chill, and vaguely felt that the sky in the capital was about to change greatly.

Emperor Huo Di stood up, walking back and forth on the white marble ground irritably, muttering in his mouth: "A traitor will always be a traitor, see profit and forget righteousness, don't expect him to be loyal to anyone!" ”

"I really believe the wrong person!"

Yes! Geng Hai is a mercenary person, he is a complete villain, he was able to betray the imperial brother and kill his former friend Xue Qiyuan, the king of Zhenbei, with his own hands...... There's nothing he can't do!

The emperor stopped again, his eyes burst out with a sharp light like a blade, and his face was even more gloomy as ink, "He didn't think I was his marionette, he could do whatever he wanted!" ”

"The emperor is angry, maybe there is a misunderstanding?" Cen Yin slowly persuaded.

"Misunderstanding?!" A cold smile appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth, "Ah Yin, you, you just think about people's hearts too well!" This Geng Hai, he is now using the matter of the Heavenly Mandate Phoenix Girl to force me to comply. If it goes on like this, wouldn't it be that whoever his daughter picked, I would make someone the crown prince, and even the prince of the country would have to listen to him Geng Hai?! ”

For the emperor, he can give favors to his courtiers, can reward his courtiers, and can also give his courtiers some face, but all this is based on ensuring his absolute imperial power.

No one can infringe on his rights and status as the Son of Heaven!

Even if it's Geng Hai!

At this moment, as long as the emperor thought of Geng Hai, he felt as if there was a thorn in his heart that pricked him with a burst of pain.

The emperor couldn't wait to pull out this thorn, but he inevitably had to take care of Geng Hai's military power and the connections of the Weiguo Mansion in the court for more than a hundred years.

Especially the military power......

If he ordered to seize Geng Hai's military power now, he would definitely force him to directly force the palace to rebel.

Thinking of this, the emperor felt a breath in his heart, and almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

The emperor sat down again, rubbed his tangled eyebrows, and said to himself in his heart that he should think about it.

He'll have to think about it!

In the warm pavilion, it was quiet, and the needle drop could be heard.

Cen Yin made a gesture to the little waiter in Tsing Yi on the side, and the other party hurriedly went to pour tea for the emperor, and the sound of pouring water echoed in the room.

When the new cup of tea was delivered to the emperor, the emperor raised his eyes to look at Cen Yin, who was a few steps away, picked up the teacup and ordered: "Ah Yin, you let Dongchang continue to stare at Geng Hai......"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Geng Hai bowed down to receive the order, and followed, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, as far as the ministers know, in addition to the tribes in the northwest, Duke Wei seems to be very close to the Huaqu tribe in the north, and a few days ago, he also asked Prince Ashina of the Huaqu tribe to go to Yunting Restaurant. ”

"......" The emperor's pupils shrank sharply when he heard this, and the teacup in his hand almost didn't slip out of his hand to look at it, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped.

Hua Quinoa and Geng Hai!

One betrayed the king of Zhenbei at the beginning, and the other killed the king of Zhenbei at the beginning.

The two of them are basically the same dog!

The chamberlain found that the candle flame in a certain palace lamp on the side was about to burn out, and the candle flame began to dim, so he hurriedly stepped forward to open the lampshade and quickly changed a candle.

Cen Yin's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and under the half-drooping curtains, the charming eyes were as deep as an impenetrable valley.

His voice was as soft as a trickle, comforting the emperor and saying, "The emperor takes care of the dragon's body." For the sake of these people, it's not worth it. ”

The emperor took two deep breaths and calmed down a little, but his eyes were still full of bloodshots, and he looked hideous.

"Ah Yin, you sent people to keep an eye on those tribes as well...... When the Chinese New Year is over, send them all back! The Emperor almost gritted his teeth and said, "One by one...... All are white-eyed wolves, and I have wasted my grace to them. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cen Yin replied again.

However, Gilles and the others did not know that the emperor had been annoyed with them.

Originally, after taking the children out of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Gilles and other princes of the northwest took them back to Qianyayuan, but the lord of Roland was unwilling, she wanted to see Feng Yan, so she quietly broke away from the team halfway and returned to the capital.

was locked up in prison for a day and a night, Lord Roland was angry and aggrieved, Feng Yan was also on Pingyang Street yesterday, but he didn't say a word to him, and he was imprisoned......

She knew that this must be Duanmu Fei's hatred for hurting Duanmu Heng's hand, and she used the topic to play and sow discord.

So she wanted to come to see Feng Yan, she wanted to tell Feng Yan that Roland had always dared to act, she accidentally injured Duanmu Heng's hand, but that was also for a reason, it was Duanmu Heng who was rude to her first, she just taught him a small lesson, she could be sure that the bruise would scab over in a day.

She has always been a person who knows how to measure, and she can't let Feng Yan misunderstand her.

Heru also came, and after Giles found out that his daughter was missing, he asked Heru to chase his daughter, but Heru couldn't grind Roland, so he had to follow her to the Anping Eldest Princess's Mansion.

As soon as the brother and sister turned over and dismounted, they saw Feng Yan personally send a green canopy carriage out of the corner door on one side.

Seal the flames! As soon as the county lord of Roland saw Feng Yan's handsome face, he was shocked, and subconsciously took a few steps forward, and then stopped suddenly.

Feng Yan, who was straddling a black horse, lowered his head slightly, talking to the people in the carriage through the window, and the curtain of the carriage was picked open by a small white hand, revealing half of a delicate little face.

The person sitting in the carriage was Duanmu Fei.

Lord Roland's eyes were slightly cold, and his gaze was fixed on Duanmu Fei's little face.

How could Duanmu Fei be here?!

Lord Roland clenched his fists, and his heart fluctuated.

She took a deep breath and continued to step forward with her head held high.

After being locked up in prison all night, she didn't sleep all night, and she was a little tired now, but when her brown eyes looked at Feng Yan, they flashed unusually bright.

"Feng Gongzi," Lord Roland looked at Feng Yan, then at Duanmu Fei in the carriage, and declared war with a calm expression, "Fourth Duanmu girl, I want to fight with you for marriage!" ”

Marriage again?! Feng Yan, who was sitting on Benxiao's back, his face sank, his eyes fell on Heru, who was a few feet away, his thin lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, and he said in his heart: This is not over!

This inexplicable woman actually wants to help her eldest brother compete with herself, which is really unbearable.

It seems that the brother and sister don't remember it, so they still don't fight enough.

Feng Yan narrowed his eyes, a dangerous light flashed under his eyes, and he wondered whether to beat him up and lock him up in prison, or after he was locked in, he would fight slowly.

Feng Yan was about to open his lips, when he heard Duanmufei's crisp voice like a bell from the carriage: "Okay, I'll compare with the county lord." ”

Duanmu Fei responded very happily, and looked at the Lord of Roland outside the carriage without evasion.

Feng Yan was about to blurt out the words when he swallowed them back in an instant, looking at Duanmu Fei with blazing eyes, as if there was a little sparrow flapping its wings happily.

Vera is going to make a move for herself...... Well, it's nice to be protected.

Feng Yan straightened his back and smiled smugly.

Although he felt for a moment that this "marriage competition" seemed to be different from what he knew, he didn't bother to think about it, anyway, he would beat Heru again later, so that the other party would not dare to appear in front of Zhen Zhen again!

What a fist can solve, that's not a problem!

Duanmu Fei smiled slightly, and said: "County Lord, this is the Princess's Mansion, and we can't disturb the purity of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, so let's go to Luhua Pavilion, what does the County Lord think?" ”

Anping is Feng Yan's mother, and Rao is the lord of Roland has always boasted that he doesn't care about other people's eyes, and he must also take into account Anping's thoughts. She immediately responded: "Okay, just as you say." ”

Thinking that the capital was Duanmufei's territory, the county lord of Roland turned around and ordered a few words to the maid on the side, asking her to take the county lord Yuzhen and them to Luhua Pavilion as well, so as to give her a witness, lest this Duanmufei lose and not admit it.

Lord Roland and Heru turned on their horses again.

Feng Yan gave the coachman an order, and the carriage took the lead along the empty street and headed for Zhongsheng Street in the west of the city.

Gradually, the snow lightened, drifting lightly in the air like catkins, making the surrounding streets hazy, as if a thick fog filled the air.

"Gotta ......"

A thin layer of snow had accumulated on the streets, and the horseshoe's hooves were steadily stepping on the slightly muddy streets, making a clear sound.

The Lord of Roland followed behind Feng Yan almost step by step, looking at the young man's upright back with blazing eyes.

In the cold wind, the handsome young man only wore a thin purple robe, but he was not afraid of the cold at all, he was refreshed, the oncoming cold wind blew his robe puffed up, his clothes flew like a swallow like a butterfly, and the young man's side face was as handsome and profound as a knife and an axe.

This boy simply walked out of her dream, so dazzling, so perfect!

Duanmufei is not worthy of him at all, only he can gallop side by side with him on the vast grassland, the sky is high and the sea is wide, let me soar!

She's going to win. Lord Roland swore secretly to the sky.

There were no passers-by on the street, and the carriage and horses were unimpeded, but the coachman did not dare to let the carriage go too fast, and it took a little more incense than usual to reach the Luwah Court on Zhongsheng Street.

Snowflakes are flying outside, the cold wind is blowing, but the Luhua Pavilion is very lively, today is the last condensation meeting this year, many ladies come here to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms with friends, chanting poems and paintings.

Under the guidance of the female shopkeeper, the four of them came to the second floor of the Condensation Pavilion.

The arrival of the four of them attracted a lot of curious eyes, or whispering, or smiling, or secretly speculating, or not impressing, most of them were curious about how the four of them could get together.

"Duanmu Fourth Girl......" Lord Roland stopped by the window, she instinctively wanted to ask Duanmu Fei what to compare, but when the words came to her mouth, she remembered that she was tricked by Duanmu Fei for this last time in Qianya Garden, which made her in a dilemma.

Lord Roland's heart fluttered, and he changed his words: "I heard that all the ladies in your Central Plains are versatile, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, song and dance, everything. I want to dance with the girl, what does the girl think? ”

They are not better than horsemanship, not archery, not better than polo...... is more than dance, then she can't take advantage of Duanmu Fei!

Lord Roland looked at Duanmu Fei brightly, and he was bright and upright.

She didn't deliberately keep her voice down, and the other people in the room naturally heard it, and cast curious glances, and some of the girls seemed to be chatting with friends, but in fact they pricked up their ears and listened intently.

Dance?! Dangui's eyes widened in surprise, and there was an indescribable helplessness in the eyes of Lord Roland.

Duanmu pursed his lips and smiled, the corners of his mouth crooked.

Lord Roland was right, but at the same time he wasn't right.

Since ancient times, being able to sing and dance is a kind of self-cultivation of scholars, and there is no shortage of stories in history books about those monarchs and ministers holding banquets and having fun.

However, scholars can sing and dance, but they do not make a living from it, if they sing and dance in front of Shangguan or in public, and flatter them, they will be reduced to the situation of being a servant, and they will be despised.

Since the beginning of this dynasty, several great Confucians of science advocated the respect of the Lord and the Lord's quietness, requiring people to stand and sit, and various rules became more and more cumbersome, and gradually, singing and dancing became a taboo for scholars.

Nowadays, in order to let girls have an elegant and upright figure, many high-ranking families will still invite people to teach dance, but they do not include her. When she was still Chu Qingci, she suffered from a serious heart disease, and her hyperactivity was in danger of triggering heart disease, let alone dancing.

And now Duanmufei's body is healthy, but because she is used to being lazy, she is too lazy to study at all.

Besides, even if she had studied, she didn't want to compare this with Lord Roland.

Dancing in public is done by a maiko, and fighting with singing and dancing will only be said to be frivolous.

The other girls around couldn't help but secretly exchange glances, and also wanted to see how Duanmu Fei would respond, and unconsciously, the surroundings became quieter and quieter.

"County Lord, let's do it......" Duanmu crooked his little face and smiled more cutely, but Dangui was bright-eyed, and she knew best about Sister Scarlet's little fox-like eyes...... Hmm, there's a good show. Does she want to send someone to inform Sister Yunhua?! Hanxing is in the palace, and he has no choice.

Feng Yan looked at his own Zhen Zhen with burning eyes, how do you look at it, how cute she is.

Duanmu Fei continued unhurriedly: "I use the qin to accompany the county lord, if the county lord can't keep up with my qin, even if the county lord loses, otherwise, even if I lose." I remember that the county lord had a sword dance with Brother Ling at the reception banquet in Qianya Garden, so it is better to use this song as the tune, what does the county lord think? ”

Duanmu smiled and looked at Lord Roland across the table from her.

The sword dance at the reception banquet is accompanied by drums, and it is magnificent, like a war drum beating, which makes people's blood boil.

However, the rhythm of the drum is necessarily interrupted, and the sound of the piano is often melodious and smooth, which is contrary to the two, and the drum can accompany the sound of the piano, but it is not easy to change the sound of the drum to the sound of the piano.

The Lord of Roland also knows this.

She is confident that her sword dance will not lose to any woman, and naturally includes Duanmu Fei's qin!

No matter how well the other party plays, she has the confidence to deal with it calmly!

"Okay." The lord of Roland responded in one bite.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the surrounding commotion was stirred, like the noisy waves of the sea, the waves were undulating, and some people who had been enjoying the plum blossoms in other places in Luhua Pavilion also heard the news and rushed in the direction of Ninglu Pavilion.

Those sons and girls all heard that Roland County mainly used the knife dance to fight with Duanmufei's qin, and their expressions were a little strange, and their eyes were contemptuous.

In the boudoir, the close friends of the boudoir who have made good friends dance with each other, and it is just a matter of having fun, this girl from a good family will not dance in public, isn't this lord of Roland County having brain cramps?

They knew that the emperor was quite polite to these tribes, and some ugly words were not easy to put on their lips, so they could only secretly exchange glances, and they were all a little disdainful of the lord of Roland: It is difficult for a barbarian woman to enter the hall of elegance!

In the Condensation Pavilion, there are more and more people, and they are becoming more and more lively and noisy, but there is a trace of weirdness in the noise.

Lord Roland didn't realize that for her, the more people the better, so Duanmu Fei couldn't afford to lose the account.

After a while, the maid of Luhua Pavilion brought a piano and placed the piano case in the center, and Duanmu Fei sat behind the piano case, leisurely cleaning his hands and burning incense, as if he was carrying out an extremely important ceremony.

Pretending! Lord Roland pursed his lips disdainfully, took the scimitar from his brother Heru, and got ready.

"A few VIPs, please come here." Outside the hall, the maid's respectful voice was heard, accompanied by the sound of messy footsteps.

Everyone in the hall followed the prestige, and saw that in the snow, more than a dozen young people and girls dressed in foreign costumes walked towards this side, but there was silence, and everyone was dusty and had complicated expressions.

They were locked up in prison for one night last night, in fact, many people were still shocked, they didn't relax, they didn't want to come, but they were afraid of the strength of the Baichuan clan, afraid that Heru and Roland would hold a grudge because of this, so they had to come, but they were a little indignant in their hearts.

Their arrival made the hall a little crowded and crowded.

The young men and girls of the northwest tribe stepped forward to greet Heru and the lord of Roland with different expressions, some of them smiled, some of them had stiff faces, and some of them forced a smile, the atmosphere seemed to be lively, but there was a faint haze hidden in it.

In the final analysis, the reason why they suffered this flying disaster yesterday was also because the Lord of Roland had nothing to do to find trouble with Duanmu Heng, which made the matter bigger, causing them to be imprisoned, and they had just been released, and the Lord of Roland County came to cause trouble again!

Her temperament is inevitably too domineering, and she doesn't know how thick the sky is!

Many noblewomen of the Northwest tribe secretly exchanged glances, already thinking that in the future, they should try to alienate this Roland County Lord, so as not to cause trouble, but they also involved innocent people.

Everyone sat down on both sides of the hall, and at this time, Duanmu Fei was also ready, put his hands on the piano, and smiled at Lord Roland.

"Please advise."

Immediately, Duanmu Fei's wrist was lightly raised, and her white ten fingers flew like butterflies on the strings, her hands and her movements looked soft and picturesque, but the sound of the piano flowing from her fingers carried the momentum of thunder, and the momentum was magnificent.

There was silence for an instant.

The sound of this piano sounds heroic and sassy, like the long song of the eagle on the grassland, as if the war drums are beating, as if thousands of horses are galloping, as if the golden ge is handed over......

The little girl is in perfect contrast to the sound of the piano under her fingers.

Lord Roland was also shocked, but then calmed down, she had already heard that Duanmu Fei had changed the music of a violinist in this Luhua Pavilion before, and it was said that the piano skills were acceptable, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

If the other party's piano skills are too poor, it won't be interesting if you win.

Lord Roland spun around, the red hem of her skirt fluttered like a butterfly, and the cold glittering scimitar swept out with her spin, and the blade seemed to have a fierce aura.

The sound of the piano is loud, and the tune is the same as that day at the reception banquet.

With the piano playing, it is more agile than the monotonous drum sound, two points sharp, and three points clear.

The county lord of Dangui was also participating in the reception banquet that day, and he heard it all at once, and his face showed admiration. Sister Scarlet's attainments in piano and music are really perfect, and her luck is really good!

The lord of Roland danced with the sound of the piano, her posture was soft and vigorous, like a frightening dragon, graceful like a dragon, and every time the knife in her hand danced out, it brought a burst of sound of breaking the air, setting off a piece of silver-white knife shadow, red and white, red like fire, white like snow.

The corners of Lord Roland's mouth hooked a confident smile, even if she didn't look at it, she knew that everyone would be impressed by her dance, and Duanmufei's piano sound was just her foil after all!

Lord Roland rotated three times in a row, and with that rotating dance, the silver-white sword light was layered on top of each other, like a cold snow lotus blooming.

In the hall, whether it was those foreign races or the sons and girls of the capital, their eyes fell on the lord of Roland, some appreciating, some joking, some amazed, and some disapproving.

Several young men secretly exchanged glances with each other, compared with the sword dance of the lord of Roland, compared with the Oiran peony of the fragrant building, they have their own merits!

Their eyes were a little smiling.

Suddenly, the rhythm of the piano suddenly became faster, like several dry thunders in the sky.

Lord Roland took it calmly, in their Baichuan clan, the sword dance was not static, and when the drum beat accelerated, the dancers also had to adapt to the situation.

It's not hard for her!
