Chapter 101: The Royal Painting Boat
The royal painting boat is just a painting boat, it is simply a moving attic!
Yi Xiangxiang looked at the double-storey painting boat building in front of her, it was called a gorgeous and rich! I saw that the eaves and horns were majestic, and the end was extremely exquisite, and the dragon pillars were lined up, and the carvings were so fine that every scale on the dragon's body was fine and countable. And those painted reliefs are also staggered and lifelike, and the entire painting boat and even the arc are so beautiful that it can be called a work of art.
This style is really envious, jealous and hateful! Yi Xiangxiang sighed.
Luo Baohua and Yi Xiangxiang entered the royal luxury painting boat one after another, and then saluted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King An, and also greeted the others present.
A curtain of gauze is erected around the second floor of the painting boat, with the bow of the boat as the front, and tables and tables are set up on both sides.
Yi Xiangxiang had to look around after a bow, and I have to say that this place is really lively.
First of all, in the seat of the head, sitting is the crown prince Zhao Ziqian. On his left and right sat the side concubine Lin Zhimeng and the side concubine Kang Ling.
Lin Zhimeng wore a pale pink skirt with smart butterfly embroidery on the skirt. The pale yellow shawl lingers around the shoulders and hangs down like a rainbow, complementing the pink and tender skirt of the skirt. One end of the shawl is tucked into the waist of the skirt, and the other end is casually draped around the shoulder, showing a unique laziness and coquettishness.
Yi Xiangxiang greatly appreciated Lin Zhimeng's dress, because this skirt was a new product of Qianyi Pavilion under Wuda Firm, and even the way to wear it was Yi Xiangxiang's imitation of the clothing of the Tang Dynasty.
And the set that Lin Zhimeng is wearing now is what she asked someone to send it, and the purpose is naturally to advertise.
She estimated that because of Lin Zhimeng's body today, Qianyige could make a fortune again!
However, Yi Xiangxiang's appreciation is not only Lin Zhimeng's advertising effect, but this set of clothes Lin Zhimeng wears really good-looking. Lin Zhimeng's temperament is gentle, but the skirt and shawl make her a little more charming, and she is so dazzling that she can't take her eyes off it.
She is the best beauty in Kyoto! Yi Xiangxiang gave Lin Zhimeng a hundred points in her heart.
Thinking like this, she looked at Zhao Ziqian's other side concubine, Kang Ling.
Kang Ling's facial features are three points similar to Kang Rui, which is not surprising, after all, they are brothers and sisters! Kang Ling is relatively small, and although her eyebrows and eyes are not as delicate as Lin Zhimeng, they also have a unique charm.
She was wearing a pomegranate skirt, the color was as red as a pomegranate flower, which made her face even more delicate.
Seeing this, Yi Xiangxiang suddenly thought of a common saying, that is, "bow down under her pomegranate skirt"! Thinking in my heart, I don't know if this Zhao Ziqian worshiped or not? Yi Xiangxiang secretly poked and poked and found it very interesting.
But in front of everyone's eyes, she was embarrassed to be too connotative of the current prince, so she continued to look down.
The first place under the main seat is naturally His Royal Highness King An, Zhao Zixiu. Next to him is Princess Pei Yuyan.
Yi Xiangxiang felt that if the people present were talking about their appearance, they probably couldn't compare to Zhao Ziqian and Lin Zhimeng. So she didn't look at it anymore, but continued to look down at who else was.
Further down the seat of King An are Kang Rui, Xiong Wei, Yu Wenhua and others, as well as the sons and ladies of the Winning Mansion. There are also other young ladies among these people, but Yi Xiangxiang doesn't know them. She thought that these people were either famous hairpin families, or after the powerful people of the court, otherwise they would not have sat so high.
And after this group of people, there are her brother Yi Luochuan and sister-in-law Jiang Jingshan, as well as Jiang Xuanrui of Jiang Mansion, and Sheng Changhong and others of Sheng Mansion.
In addition, the last group of people in the next group are the students of Shenghong Academy. Among them are her fifth sister Yi Ruofu, as well as Yi Ruojiao and Yi Ruofan, twins.
Well, that's right, in the spacious and bright royal painting boat, it was a large place.
Luo Baohua and Yi Xiangxiang glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Don't be surprised! It was more than a surprise to them.
Why?
Because this cruise meeting organized by Prince Zhao Ziqian must be temporary, otherwise they should all be able to get the news in advance. But it's a bit surprising to get a cruise ship on the spot and deliberately put people together so well.
The two of them are not easy to discuss now, so they can only start looking for a place in Zhao Ziqian's "Sit".
Yi Xiangxiang originally wanted to stay with her brother, but when she saw Jiang Xuanrui next to Jiang Jingshan, she gave up. Then she looked at Yi Ruofu's side, who was surrounded by her own classmates, and Yi Xiangxiang didn't bother to squeeze in.
So she hesitated, and at this time, Luo Baohua shouted to her to sit at the end of the table together.
The end of the banquet is good, you don't have to look like a lady all the time, Yi Xiangxiang is naturally satisfied.
In fact, with Luo Baohua's side, he can be among Kang Rui, but he is willing to take care of Yi Xiangxiang, which is naturally very caring.
As soon as the two sat down at the end of the table, Kang Ling above spoke:
"Brother Ziqian, look at Brother Baohua, for fear that we will break up him and Miss Yi, so quickly pull people to the back and sit down!"
Kang Ling grew up with Zhao Ziqian and Luo Baohua almost since childhood, and it is very cordial to call the two of them by her.
Everyone heard Kang Ling's words, and they all turned their eyes and looked at Luo Baohua and Yi Xiangxiang with an interesting look.
Who is Luo Baohua, a gentleman who knows everything, naturally heard what Kang Ling said, so he replied:
"Concubine Kang, don't blindly climb relatives, everyone in Kyoto knows that King Huaihai only has one son under his knees! It's because I don't have a sister in this world! ”
He thinks that he is not an elegant person, so he naturally will not give Kang Ling face at this time. Moreover, in Kang Ling's words, there was some deliberate smearing of the relationship between him and Yi Xiangxiang, and Luo Baohua would definitely fight back.
Everyone laughed secretly, but they didn't dare to show it.
As soon as Kang Ling spoke, she touched her nose, and she could only stomp her feet angrily and beg Zhao Ziqian to call the shots, but unfortunately the latter ignored her.
Yi Xiangxiang looked at Luo Baohua's angry appearance, but she felt funny. And she thinks that Luo Baohua's character, if she meets a girl she likes in the future, she must be the kind that can be caught!
Because he really makes people feel so secure!
How so? Even a beauty like Kang Ling, Luo Baohua can be ruthless, so there is no need to worry about him causing a flood of peach blossoms because of his soft heart.
After Luo Baohua finished scolding Kang Ling, he didn't pay attention to everyone anymore. He and Yi Xiangxiang sat in the back, and the two continued to have a heated discussion about the little pink between Sheng Changhong and Yi Ruofu. Now that I see people, they talk more energetically!
"Just now, Sheng Changhong peeked at your sister again!" Luo Baohua covered his mouth with a fan and secretly said to Yi Xiangxiang next to him.
"I saw it, but it's a pity that my fifth sister only cares about eating the watermelon in front of her!" Yi Xiangxiang replied with a look of watching the play.
Luo Baohua looked over and found that Yi Ruofu really only cared about eating watermelon. And the glass plate in front of her eyes is about to see the bottom!
Eh, it seems that his brother's pursuit of his wife will not be too smooth! Luo Baohua stroked his forehead.
The two of them chattered as if there was no one around, and the intimate appearance made the person sitting at the top clench his fists.
However, Luo Baohua didn't stay until the end of the banquet, because he was called away by the servant sent by King Huaihai halfway, saying that there was something in the house that he needed to go back to deal with.
Yi Xiangxiang admires King Huaihai very much, how can he still find Luo Baohua in the middle of this lake? It shows that he is also staring at it quite closely!
Hey, but why did King Huaihai call Luo Baohua away in such a hurry? Could it be that there is really something wrong with this royal painting boat? Yi Xiangxiang had to raise her suspicions.
She looked around, and there was no waves, even the lake outside the painting boat was calm and untraced.
It shouldn't be a big deal, right? She comforted herself.
Yi Xiangxiang analyzed it for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she put her mind at ease. But Luo Baohua left, she was very bored, so she could only sit alone.
So there was a lively wine tasting chat in front of him, but Yi Xiangxiang sat at the end of the table in a daze.
She remembered her previous life, and it was not a time without parties before, but she could play with her phone while being embarrassed! And now in this ancient time when technology is outdated, she can only miss the past when she is bored!
I really want to play with Snake! This is what Yi Xiangxiang thinks now.
Zhao Ziqian was enjoying the VIP-like feeding service of the two side concubines, and occasionally looked at Yi Xiangxiang from afar. He suddenly had an inexplicable feeling that she was out of place in the world.
He wanted to go down and talk to her, but remembering the unhappy parting that day, he retreated again.
Eh, the people on the bridge are looking at the scenery.
The people who see the scenery are watching you.
Yi Xiangxiang didn't know that she had become a scene, she sat on half a pillar of incense, and then took advantage of no one to pay attention, and secretly went down the first floor of the painting boat from the side stairs. She found a deserted place to stretch and sat in the fence to enjoy the view of the lake.
And just as she was drowsy, she felt a knock on her shoulder. Looking back, isn't it Zhao Zixiu who is holding a fan!
She was just about to get up and salute, but was stopped by Zhao Zixiu: "There are no outsiders, no need to be polite." ”
Yi Xiangxiang didn't like to salute either, so she didn't bow down when she heard the words, but invited Zhao Zixiu to sit next to her.
"Why did you come to the lake today?" Zhao Zixiu sat down and asked Yi Xiangxiang, he was very surprised to see her here today.
"It's too hot, come out and blow the wind." Yi Xiangxiang squinted and said.
She felt the cool breeze blowing on the empty lake, and there was a sense of comfort that the years had been quiet.
Hearing this, Zhao Zixiu opened the folding fan and shook it gently, and the wind flew from his side to Yi Xiangxiang next to him. The latter felt a burst of coolness, and was just about to say thank you, when he heard Zhao Zixiu sigh and say: "This year is indeed a scorching heat, and it will be another big drought in Meizhou." ”
"Meizhou is not the domain of His Royal Highness King An, what does Your Highness care?" Yi Xiangxiang opened her eyes and teased: "Tongzhou is even close to the canal, Jizhou and Huzhou are also rich lands, and the Holy Lord still prefers His Highness very much." ”
The fourth prince Zhao Zixiu was crowned king, and the eighth prince and the ninth prince, who had always been unknown, were also crowned kings, but the fiefs were not as large as Zhao Zixiu's territory, nor was he rich.
In Zhao Zixiu's fiefdom, the other two states are not listed for the time being, and as far as Tongzhou is concerned, the annual tax is a lot of money. Yi Xiangxiang's father, Yi Xihu, was appointed as the governor of Tongzhou, and Yi Xiangxiang is still very clear about this.
Zhao Zixiu listened and shook the fan, and pretended to be displeased and said: "How can I listen to what you say, I am a person who only cares about my own domain!" ”
"That's not it, I'm just talking about things. Whether this is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, there is no way to avoid it. The problem of Meizhou has not been solved for a hundred years, and since it is difficult to cure it, we will try our best to save it, and there is no other way. ”
Meizhou is one of the most barren places in the Li Dynasty, with perennial famine, and is located on the remote northwest border, and there are many rogues who are in trouble!
"You can think about it." Zhao Zixiu continued to fan the wind.
"Of course you have to think about it, the world is so complicated. No matter who you compete with, don't get along with yourself! I just don't know if His Royal Highness King An can think about it? ”
Yi Xiangxiang's words are a pun.
Zhao Zixiu is an understanding person, so he naturally heard the meaning of her words: "Why did you help him?" ”
"Eh, you always think that I help each other, but I am not that or that, and I am not a person inside and out!" Yi Xiangxiang shook her head, quite helpless.
Zhao Ziqian felt that she was on Zhao Zixiu's side, and the latter felt that he was on Zhao Ziqian's side. This makes her look like a villain who messes with right and wrong.
"Then why did you persuade me?" Zhao Zixiu persevered on this issue.
Yi Xiangxiang stood up and walked to the other side of the fence, pointed to the lively street market on the edge of the West Lake and asked, "What are you fighting for?" Is it this great river and mountain, or the dragon chair in the palace? ”
There are many shops on the edge of the West Lake, and there are already many people shopping at this point, and it is very lively.
"I don't think there's any difference between the two." Zhao Zixiu also walked over.
"The people of Li in the great rivers and mountains don't care who sits on the chair in the palace, they just need to eat and wear warm clothes! So for them, it doesn't matter whether you, His Royal Highness King An, win the throne, or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne smoothly! You see, how good the country and the people are now! If His Highness wants this river and mountain to be good, let it be less miserable. ”
At the moment when she said these words, Yi Xiangxiang felt a bit like a wise man, she never thought that she would say such words as "for the people".
But she was right, after the purge of the previous case of selling officials and forcing the palace, the Li Dynasty was already seriously injured, otherwise the saint would not be in a hurry to replenish talents.
But the problem is that the new people are really far less skilled than the veterans who are used to handling things, and it takes a time to cultivate the Yi Dynasty.
And at this time, if the forces of the crown prince and King An fight again, it will definitely shake the foundation of the country. There are many small countries around the Li Dynasty, and although those big countries are thousands of miles apart, if the Li Dynasty is turbulent, they are bound to attack! It is Yi Xiangxiang's argument that "the mountains and rivers are ruined", which is not alarmist.
"More than ten years of hard work, where is it said that you can let go of it."
Zhao Zixiu knew the stakes of the struggle, but it was not a matter of his personal honor or disgrace. There is also Concubine De behind him, as well as the Yuwen family, and those who follow him!
Yi Xiangxiang looked at the sparkling lake and smiled: "You will, you are kinder than him." ”
If she didn't know Zhao Zixiu before, she would think that this was a person who would rather die and break the net. But now, she doesn't think so anymore.
Zhao Zixiu is a person with a benevolent heart, although he is also selfish and has desires, but he is actually more benevolent than Zhao Ziqian.
"Do you know that if I put down my sword, his sword will pierce my chest." Zhao Zixiu turned his head to Yi Xiangxiang and said, he didn't want to let go of any expression that Yi Xiangxiang showed to him for this sentence.
He wanted to see Yi Xiangxiang choose between him and Zhao Ziqian, and he wanted to do it very much!
But he knows that rationality is like Yi Xiangxiang, and he will not make meaningless choices. It was he who used this theory of life and death to explore Yi Xiangxiang's emotions.
But Yi Xiangxiang didn't have a different understanding of this sentence, and she turned her head to look at Zhao Zixiu, and said firmly: "He won't." ”
"You believe him?" Zhao Zixiu was not satisfied with this answer.
Believe it? No, it's just that he promised before, and she thinks he's serious.
That day in Yongle Ju, Zhao Ziqian said that as long as Zhao Zixiu gave up, he would not embarrass him! Yi Xiangxiang felt his seriousness, coupled with Zhao Zixiu's title, King An. Judging by Yi Xiangxiang, Zhao Ziqian really has no intention of starting a dispute again.
"I don't believe him, I believe me."
Yi Xiangxiang didn't believe Zhao Ziqian, but she believed in her own judgment.
Zhao Zixiu smiled, this is the Yi Xiangxiang he knows, who has always been confident and flamboyant!
"Will you miss Tongzhou?" He asked suddenly.
"Yes! Eh, don't you know? I'm going to get to that house again! It's just that the original Yi Mansion is not an official residence, and the Holy God has rewarded me! When I'm old in the future, I'll go to Tongzhou for the elderly! It's not as cold as Kyoto, and I love it! I want to plant peach trees in the yard, pick flowers and make wine, and choose fruits for longevity! Live the days of the gods! Yi Xiangxiang said that she had a yearning!
Zhao Zixiu saw that Yi Xiangxiang was happy, so he didn't interrupt her vision for the future. After the two talked for a while, a little father-in-law came down and said that the prince invited King An to go up, so Zhao Zixiu went back to the second floor.
Yi Xiangxiang wanted to go back to her boat, but she didn't bother to go up to say goodbye to the people on the second floor, so she was too lazy to procrastinate by the railing. But not long after, just as she was about to go up, her brother Yi Luochuan came down.
"What's the matter? My brother also thinks the air above is not good? Yi Xiangxiang smiled and teased Yi Luochuan.
Yi Luochuan knocked Yi Xiangxiang's head and handed her the ivory silk jade hall wealth fan she had just forgotten on the table.
"What did you talk about with His Royal Highness King An?" Yi Luochuan asked, leaning against the railing.
Yi Xiangxiang waved her fan vigorously: "What can you talk about, the family and the country are all over the world!" ”
Yi Luochuan glanced at Yi Xiangxiang, indicating that he didn't believe half a word.
"Really! I used to think about it, Zhao Zixiu...... His Royal Highness King An is a fake person. is gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact, he is very hypocritical in his bones. Well, he's still out there! But it's also because of identity! If he was born in a hairpin family, it is estimated that he will really be a clear and moonlit character, after all, he still has that kind of temperament in his bones! It's just that he was born in the emperor's family! Yi Xiangxiang sighed with a smashing mouth.
Yi Luochuan nodded, he agreed with Yi Xiangxiang's words.
The brother and sister were talking against the fence, Yi Xiangxiang watched the sun gradually slanting in the west, and asked Yi Luochuan to help her confess to Zhao Ziqian, she had to secretly withdraw first.
"Will you come back with us later?" Yi Luochuan was puzzled.
"I'm gone, Moxi has entered Beijing, and I guess the boat will be able to get to the dock in the evening! Now it's just right for me to pick up the time, by the way, brother, you tell your mother, I won't go back to dinner! ”
She is going to open a hot pot restaurant, with the purpose of coming to Beijing from Moxi, and naturally she is going to take a trip to the paradise. Only Moxi came to the paradise with the attitude of learning from the scriptures, and then the Wuda business could justifiably drive the hot pot to all parts of the Li Dynasty.
Yi Luochuan nodded when he heard this, Yi Xiangxiang told him about the Wuda business before, and he also knew Moxi's people.
"Then you remember to go home earlier, so as not to worry your mother." Yi Luochuan explained.
Yi Xiangxiang agreed, waving her hand to let her painting boat come over, during which she took out a piece of blood jade and pondered.
The blood jade was a "mortgage" given to her by Zhao Ziqian when she was in Tongzhou Huanxi Pavilion before, and Yi Xiangxiang returned it once, but it was not returned. Later, after she and Luo Baohua got acquainted, the latter told her that this was Zhao Ziqian's identity symbol, which was as important as the jade wrench in Zhao Zixiu's hand. After Yi Xiangxiang found out, she always wanted to find an opportunity to return it to Zhao Ziqian.
She handed the blood jade to Yi Luochuan and said, "Brother, you help me give this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and by the way, bring him a word." ”
"What?" Yi Luochuan took the blood jade.
"It's the same root, so why be in a hurry."
