Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Sword King Wind
After a while, when Gao Zhan brought Bai Muguan to the emperor, Fang Na, the young lady of the Fang family, had already thanked the grace and retreated to the side to stand with Li Meiyun and He Huihui.
The three young girls stood together, and Fang Na was the tallest and graceful, which was particularly eye-catching and conspicuous. As the saying goes, her niece Xiao is like an aunt who is blessed, and her eyebrows and eyes do have a little shadow of Concubine Chen's youth.
Bai Muguan knelt down lightly with a smile on his face: "Please say hello to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, and the two Highnesses are blessed." ”
"No courtesy." The emperor waved his hand and stared at her, revealing a strange look, "You are dressed plainly today, not as bright and dazzling as on Chinese New Year's Eve." ”
"The courtier's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet has taken away the grace of the nobleman, thanks to His Majesty's love and mercy and no blame, the courtier's daughter does not dare to be presumptuous from time to time." Bai Muguan was relaxed and playful when she replied, and the sweet smile on her face had no sense of disobedience, as if she was not speaking to the Lord of the Four Seas to the Heavenly Seal, but laughing with ordinary elders.
Yuwen Haotian was really in a better mood, and praised her without hesitation: "You are not presumptuous, you are loyal to me, for the sake of the country, I understand." ”
"The courtiers don't dare to bear the praise of His Majesty." After that, Bai Muguan bent his knees and blessed again.
From the moment she came in, not only Yu Wenye and Yu Wenjing were deeply attracted by her, but even Tong Shi kept staring at her. If you just look at He Huihui and Fang Na are also beauties, they can still be seen, like Bai Muguan, who is like a bright pearl, standing there, and the rest of the girls immediately become foils. Even if her clothes are deliberately simple today, it is still difficult to hide the brilliance. is also a girl raised by Mrs. Rongguo, Li Meiyun is even worse.
"Little Bai Aiqing, I asked you to come and recognize your relatives." Yuwen Haotian's tone was slightly joking, and the light emanating from the dragon's eyes was radiant, "These are the two side concubines selected by the third prince, and your cousin will be the emperor's eldest son side concubine in the future." ”
Bai Muguan understood the meaning of the emperor's words, this was to let her recognize her concubine in advance! Thinking of this, she raised her eyes and glanced at Yu Wenye quickly, but he happened to be looking at her too, his thin lips seemed to be hooked, and the smile in his eyes was overflowing.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Muguan and Li Meiyun and the other three saluted, to be precise, they greeted General Xiaobai, and a few times her chin was counted as a return gift.
Tong, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help it, but she was very deep in the city, and said with a smile: "This palace ordered the imperial dining room to make bird's nest lotus seed soup, and give it to a few young ladies to use, and it will be a family in the future." ”
The last half of the sentence was obviously not said to Bai Muguan, but Yu Wenye sounded a lot more comfortable, maybe the queen mother saw her father's intentions and didn't dare to disobey and changed her mind to accept his Guanguan? If so, he will die without regrets.
Bai Muguan smiled faintly when he heard this, but Li Meiyun and the others were flattered and hurriedly thanked him first. The Tong family has been able to stand in the middle palace for 20 years, and this ability to perceive the sacred heart is by no means beyond the reach of others. She is a wife and a queen, Yu Xin said that she disdains the side room with pretenses, but now Yuwen Haotian has the heart to promote He Huihui and others, and she immediately shows the image of a gentle and loving future mother-in-law.
Pin'er gave the order to high-five a few times, and in a moment several palace maids rushed in, each carrying a double-layer mahogany food box in their hands. The Chunhe Hall is very spacious, there is a round table in the small flower hall not far away, and several palace maids put the food in the food box on the table one by one.
A cup of bird's nest lotus seed soup per person, and a few court pastries. Bai Muguan remembered that Yu Wenye said that the pastries in the Tong Palace were the best, and they were used to treat guests for praise on her birthday. Looking closely at the few things on the table today, either Yu Wenye likes to eat, or the emperor likes to eat, and a few of them are really stained.
It is said that they are all girls who have not left the cabinet, and even the future royal daughter-in-law approved by the emperor is not qualified to eat at the same table with the emperor and queen, including the crown prince. Naturally, Pin'er was led to the flower hall, blocked by the screen and veil, and several girls sat down in turn. Bai Muguan was generous, He Huihui also behaved decently, Fang Na and Li Meiyun were nervous and nervous, and they inevitably showed uneasiness on their faces. It was Pin'er who saw their restraint, casually explained a few polite words and turned away.
"Huihui has heard Miss Bai's name for a long time, and she admires it in her heart, but she has never had the opportunity to meet her, and she admires it even more today." He Huihui opened her mouth with a smile, the pear vortex on her face loomed, her voice was neither high nor low, if the emperor listened attentively, it would not be difficult to hear clearly.
Bai Muguan pulled the corners of his mouth casually: "I have also heard that Miss He is good at music, and she is a national master with a pipa in one hand." ”
From the first time she came in, she felt that this He Huihui was unusual, whether it was her speech or demeanor or temperament, she was not like a daughter who could be raised from a six-rank official. Even if he knew that the ancestors of the He family were rich and noble, he was still suspicious. I'm afraid that the He family will not be surprised that He Huihui will be picked by the three princes, on the contrary, she has been raising her carefully over the years, and the plot is not only to be a prince's side concubine.
He Huihui's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she sighed in a low voice: "I play the pipa just to relieve boredom and pass the time, where can I afford the word national player?" ”
"Miss He is too modest." Bai Muguan stopped his mouth and used a small spoon to send the delicately stewed bird's nest into his mouth. She could tell that although this bird's nest was fine and white, it was not the best blood bird's nest, and in Donggong Yu Wenye, she only ate blood bird's nest. The subtle details can be seen in the depth of Tong's thoughts, indeed, it is a great honor to reward them, why waste the best blood swallows?
He Huihui noticed the taunt that flashed in Bai Muguan's eyes, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, could it be that the bird's nest soup rewarded by the queen's mother is not to Miss Bai's taste?" Her voice inadvertently raised a few points.
Li Meiyun was obviously stunned, subconsciously looked in the direction of the screen, and then hurriedly made a shushing gesture.
Bai Muguan's face suddenly sank slightly, the corners of his mouth pursed, and the sharp edge in his eyes shocked He Huihui with a smile and shut up.
At the same time, on the other side of the screen, Yuwen Haotian smiled at his two sons and said: "The weather is good today, there are still two hours before the dinner starts, I haven't seen you for a long time, you might as well try it in front of me and the queen." ”
Yu Wenye squinted at Yu Wenjing, who was smiling, and clenched his fists tentatively: "Erchen didn't bring a sword into the palace today, I don't know if my father would like to borrow your private sword?" ”
Yuwen Haotian has a high martial arts in half his life, and one of his preferences in his life is to hide weapons privately, and there is a room in Chaoyang Palace that is specially used to place all kinds of weapons. Usually, it is not easy for either a clan member or a favorite minister to touch his sword and sword, even Yu Wenye has loved one of the swords called "Wang Feng" for a long time.
"Gao Zhan went to fetch my Wang Feng." Yuwen Haotian slapped his thigh and stood up, full of interest, "You brothers let go of your hands and feet and do your best, whoever wins, I will give Wang Feng to whom." ”
Wang Feng, as the name suggests, is the wind of the king, and it is rumored that the person who gets this sword wins the world, and its status is not inferior to the Shang Fang sword used by the emperor. Originally, the owner of this sword was a master of the world, a martial arts person who traveled the world with a sword, but he used this sword to practice a set of self-created swordsmanship and died unexpectedly less than two years ago. This sword was picked up by a Taoist priest and named Wang Feng, claiming to be able to dominate the world. If the eight characters are not heavy, the life is not expensive, and they cannot control it, but they will be injured by the evil qi and die.
Since then, many good martial artists have been proud of themselves, and they have not hesitated to fight for a lot of money, and this sword has been passed to many masters, and these people have unfortunately died of death and cripples. In the end, it fell into the hands of Yuwen Haotian, when he was still the prince, and King He was still alive, no one would have expected that the world would be his.
"Father, no one in the world knows that the prince is the best at swordsmanship, and even the top master in the imperial guard is difficult to go through twenty moves under his sword. Erchen's swordsmanship is not good, but he is afraid that he will lose embarrassed, so please show mercy to the prince's subordinates! When Yu Wenjing spoke, there was no thin smile on his face, only a little bit of pitiful grievances.
The emperor smiled and comforted as he walked outside: "Third brother, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, I want to see if you are profitable." ”
Yu Wenjing responded softly.
Wang Feng, just with this majestic name, how could he not think of it? It's just the result of this competition, and the emperor hopes that the crown prince will win and take over Wang Fengjian in the name of justice. And his Yuwenjing's strength can completely tie with the prince, not to mention that the prince was poisoned and injured his internal breath before, he is not without a chance to win! How should he choose? Is it to expose his skills early to win Wang Fengjian, or continue to endure in order to come to the future?
Yu Wenjing pondered all the way, and followed the emperor to the martial arts training ground near the spring of Wuling. Gao Zhan had already ordered someone to take Wang Feng's sword and place it on a three-foot high platform, covered with red cloth, which looked very similar to the form of a folk competition to win the lottery.
At this time, many women and daughters came to stop and watch, and the atmosphere was quite lively. In addition to wanting to see the heroic posture of the crown prince and the third prince, there are many people who are curious about what the legendary Wang Fengjian looks like?
The emperor and queen sat under the bright yellow umbrella cover on the south side of the martial arts training ground, and Yu Wenye and Yu Wenjing each changed their uniforms and stood on the field. Since it was a competition, for the sake of fairness, they didn't use Wang Feng to fight, but they used the pair of swords that had been sealed for a long time - the pair of swords that the first emperor gave to Yuwen Haotian and King He!
Yu Wenye's eyes widened in surprise when he took the sword, and he looked at the word "crane" on the hilt of the sword, and his gaze did not retract for a long time. Their unfathomable father asked them to play against each other with this pair of swords, which symbolize brotherly love, and it was really painstaking! He raised his eyes and found that Yu Wenjing's expression was equally complex and subtle.
