Chapter 2: The Dancer

Flat sand and geese fall in autumn, and the wind is cold. The Jade Palace is so small and not worth mentioning in the magnificent palace city of Chang'an. But every day, as soon as Yan Zhao is free, he has to run this way. The chamberlain was not allowed to follow.

After going to the morning court today, he walked to the Emerald Palace as usual. He also brought an extra little girl. The girl is very cute. Round face and big eyes. Especially those eyes, as if they could speak.

The girl held a gold-painted sandalwood box in her hand. Inside is the spiced beef jerky supplied by the Shu Kingdom. He carried a good white fox fur cloak in his hand.

As soon as he entered the Emerald Palace, he shouted loudly, "Concubine Ai, I've sent you a playmate!" ”

On a soft couch covered with brocade. Quiet is reclining against the embroidered pillow and thinking about it. "What's the noise? It's coming! She muttered impatiently, got up impatiently, and saluted impatiently, "The concubine greets His Majesty the Qingdi, and wishes His Majesty good luck for a long time!" ”

Wanyan Zhaole couldn't help but support her, "Concubine Ai, in this palace in the future, don't have so many courtesies!" He turned back to the girl next to him and said, "Yaoqin, I've come to see Mrs. Yueguo." Yaoqin stepped forward and bowed down, "The slave maid meets Mrs. Yueguo, Mrs. is auspicious!" Then, offer beef jerky in a sandalwood box.

He draped the fox fur on her: "Autumn is cool, be careful of the wind cold." ”

"Get up, you can be with me in the future, just be casual." Quiet likes this little girl.

She said to Wan Yanzhao: "What kind of prison came from your family, and taught me that set of rules, I can't remember clearly." Annoying, really annoying! ”

Wan Yanzhao said: "That's called the celebrant eunuch, don't worry about the rules if you can't remember it!" I won't allow them to come again. She nodded happily. Then, she leaned on his shoulder and said, "Wan Yanzhao, I'll go to see the Queen Mother tomorrow, is it okay?" Just look at your mother. ”

Wan Yan Zhao was sitting drinking tea, and a mouthful of water almost squirted out. He patted his chest to calm himself down, and then asked her, "I said, you don't want to see my eldest wife except for my mother?" ”

She rolled her eyes and thought for a while, and asked a little hesitantly, "Is your eldest wife fierce?" I know that the old rich man's wife was very fierce! ”

"What's the murder method? Say I'll listen? He leaned close to her face. If the old woman is unhappy, she will tie it with a hairpin and burn it with a candle, and she will be killing people anyway! Many of her servants and maids have been injured! ”

"Then why did your parents still let you marry? Wan Yan Zhao asked a little puzzled.

"I was an orphan and grew up in my uncle's house. My uncle was in the care of the rich man's house. The host can't say two if he says one, how dare he say no word! The poor can't help it! She said quietly with her chin propped up.

Wan Yanzhao said: "Tomorrow I will allocate an imperial grain village to your uncle." No one will dare to bully him anymore! ”

Quietly turned his face sideways, with a grateful look in his eyes, "Huangliangzhuang? Isn't the grain there very oily? "What do you mean?" Wan Yan Zhao didn't understand.

She blinked. "I see that those people who came out of the Imperial Grain Village all have big bellies and round waists. If it's not a big grain oil, how can it be so fat? ”

Wan Yanzhao sneered, "It's not that the grain and oil are big, it's that they eat too much." In less than half a month, I made them thin monkeys! ”

"Wan Yan Zhao, I admire you more and more. You can listen to people's hearts, and you can help people lose weight! Her little hand cocked her thumb. He touched her head, "Just admiration?" Don't feel anything else? Quiet sat up from the soft couch and looked at him very solemnly.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you like me? Wan Yan Zhao rested his head on her lap and looked up at her. Quietly combed his hair, "If you want to say you like it, it's a shame." You bought me so many beautiful clothes. Especially the meat in this box, it smells good. It must have cost a lot of money, right? ”

Wan Yanzhao pretended to be profound: "My father, the king, is my father, he left me a large sum of money, and I can't use it up." It costs a lot of money though. But, for me, it's a drizzle. ”

She looked down and pondered for a moment, "I do like things, but I can't owe you a favor. Why don't I give you a special thank you? Wan Yan Zhao felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, "What kind of thanks?" Did you agree to bed? ”

"Wan Yan Zhao! Can you be serious! Want me to sleep with you? Want to break your head! Her eyes widened for a moment. Why are you so fierce? Didn't you mention some thank-you gifts? "He's a little aggrieved.

"You sit down first, wait for me." She ran inside barefoot. Just when Wan Yan Zhao was at a loss, she came out with a small drum. There are also two more strings of bells on the feet and necks. "This is to dance the dance of the Hu people of the Western Regions for me?" He's half an expert on these. "No, you just sit and watch." She shook her head.

"Do you want to call the court band to accompany you?" Wan Yan Zhao asked. "No, you don't." As she spoke, she put the drum, which was not as big as a bowl, on the ground in the middle of the palace. Her two small, snow-white feet stood on the drum.

With the snow-white light veil floating, the graceful figure dances to the beat of the drum. It seems that under those slender feet, there is a fairy band accompaniment. The drums beat far away and the bells sound crisp. Wan Yan Zhao seemed to be intoxicated by a glass of old wine.

After a dance, Xiao Yaoqin next to her was already dumbfounded. will only say vigorously: "It's amazing, it's amazing!" Wan Yanzhao patted her head: "Hey, wake up, go and serve ginseng soup to Madame!" ”

Wan Yan Zhao gave the silence lying on the soft couch and gently beat his legs. "No thanks!" She took his hand. "Your Majesty, it's time for you to go back to the palace for dinner!" She looked at the sunlight outside. "Why did you come to Zou Zou again?" Wan Yan Zhao couldn't cry or laugh.

"I suddenly remembered that this sentence I learned yesterday came." She said.

"You're using this rigid, it's not the right time!" Wan Yanzhao pretended to be serious and said, "It's time to eat, how can you drive the guests out?" Her face was full of apologies, "Then, the emperor will eat here!" ”

"That's right! Yaoqin, pass on the Jade Palace! Wan Yan Zhao ordered Yaoqin.

After lunch, a waiter came to report. Wu Xinjun Dou Haiqing's envoy waited in the front hall to be summoned.

"I'll go to the court, and you follow Yaoqin to play. She is familiar with the roads of the Imperial City. Don't run around alone, or you'll get lost. "He told him over and over again." Got it, Wan Yan Zhao! You old man is so long-winded! She forced a forced smile impatiently.

Wan Yan Zhao was speechless, in the entire Imperial City, and even in the entire Great Xia Kingdom, she was the only one who could speak to him like this. Even the dignified Queen Mother didn't dare to talk to him like this. "It's actually pretty good, it's like a civilian couple, flirting and scolding, and having fun!" He thought to himself, a little sweet.
