Chapter 32: Acting Talents
Ah Jiu's delicate body was shocked, and she quickly looked up-
A long figure slowly stepped into everyone's sight, followed by two plainclothes guards.
Everyone was a little surprised, they didn't expect that the emperor, who had not been in court for a few days on the grounds of ill health, would appear here today. But they didn't dare to hesitate to get up and leave the table together, stood still, lowered their heads slightly, and respectfully greeted the holy car.
When he approached, everyone knelt and bowed, "Ministers and others see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." β
Ah Jiu heard that the emperor was very important to Shen Junmo, and he had also imagined that this kind of celebration banquet would be attended by the emperor. But when I really saw the real person, in addition to curiosity, there was also a trace of inexplicable nervousness.
However, everyone's attention was focused on the emperor's side, and no one noticed that she was still standing upright.
"All the love is exempt. Tonight is General Shen's celebration banquet, so you don't have to be too formal. β
His voice was as clear as flowing water, the better it sounded. His eyebrows are like distant mountains, his eyes are like bright stars, and under his towering nose are perfectly curved thin lips, the color of his lips is like warm jade, and the corners of his lips are slightly raised. It is full of elegance.
This is the Son of Heaven of the Southern Liang Kingdom, her ex-husband, who ordered the destruction of the Feng family and the man who sent her into the cold palace!
However, judging from his appearance, he really can't see that he is a ruthless person! Ah Jiu looked at him, thinking a little distractedly.
Shen Junmo also greeted him. But Shangguan Jueshi didn't move, just glanced sideways at the person beside him, his eyes were slightly dark, and he whispered in her ear: "How do you feel about seeing your ex-husband again?" β
A low teasing voice pulled back to her thoughts. Ah Jiu frowned at him slightly, not wanting to express any thoughts. In fact, she was very unfamiliar with this man. If there is only one feeling, it is that he almost had his head cut off and still resentful.
It's just that she thought that the emperor should be a cold-blooded, ruthless, majestic and intimidating tyrant, but she didn't expect it to be an elegant and handsome young man with a lovely smile.
"You're staring at him so directly, it's easy to be exposed." Shangguan peerless kind reminder.
Ah Jiu was slightly stunned, and sure enough, she saw that the emperor seemed to be looking at her as if he had a feeling.
She reacted smartly and withdrew her gaze the moment she almost collided with his.
Shangguan Junye walked towards them.
"Brother of the courtier, see the emperor." Shangguan peerless saluted him with a smile on his face.
The unchanging posture and lazy attitude are a bit perfunctory. However, Shangguan Junye seemed to be used to his casual attitude, and he didn't care about him. With a faint smile, he said, "Nine Emperor Brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Shangguan said with a peerless smile: "The emperor has a good complexion. β
"During these days, the Nine Emperor Brothers and the Taishi handled political affairs for me, so that I was able to calm down and recuperate."
"It's my brother's business."
Shangguan Junye smiled, didn't say anything more, walked to the main seat that had been vacated for him, and said to the guests who were still standing, "Everyone sit down." β
At this time, everyone's nerves were tense, and they looked at the two of them with bated breath.
As we all know, the Nine Princes have self-respect for their troops, and there is no one in their eyes, and it is common for them to disagree with the emperor in the court. Coupled with the reason behind Feng Qingge's rescue, various versions of the capital are flying all over the sky, and the heat of the discussion has not cooled down so far. This includes Feng Qingge's unclear relationship with the Nine Princes-
Although Feng Qingge was executed on other charges in the palace, in fact, the real charges of fornication had been spread in private, and everyone knew it. No man can stand to be cuckolded, let alone a king on high, and the adulterer is his own brother who has always been against him......
Therefore, when the two of them confronted each other, how could they not make these courtiers worried.
Seeing the emperor and the Nine Princes smiling and smiling, the peaceful atmosphere made them even more uneasy. This is clearly the calm before the storm!
Ah Jiu noticed that everyone's expressions were strange and the atmosphere was weird, and then looked at the two men in front of him, and probably guessed why they reacted like this.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. I have to say that these two are powerful actors. They seem to have a tacit understanding, and they never mention sensitive topics.
But it's understandable to think about it, family ugliness is not publicized, especially on such a celebratory day, it is really not suitable to be solved on the table.
Shangguan Junye felt that the atmosphere was a little restrained, so he picked up his wine glass and took the lead in speaking: "I am very happy today, Yue Ling Guo sent a peace letter, has surrendered to my Southern Liang State and formed a friendship state, promised never to start a war again, and divided four states and five cities into the territory of my Southern Liang State, and the people in the frontier finally no longer have to suffer from the war and chaos of displacement, and these credits are all due to General Shen." β
He glanced at Shen Junmo and continued: "General Shen only retreated 30,000 soldiers and horses from the enemy with 8,000 elite troops, and the casualties of our soldiers were less than one-third. β
Shen Junmo stood up, held the cup with both hands, and said humbly: "The emperor has a good reputation." β
"General Shen is brave and good at fighting, and he uses soldiers like a god, and as soon as the general comes out, the enemy army will be terrified......"
"General Shen is a one-man man, and he can't be opened, he is really the champion of the three armies. The emperor has such a good general, which is really a blessing for my Southern Liang Kingdom......"
The emperor raised his head, and the other officials began to follow. In an instant, all kinds of praise came overwhelmingly, but he was almost not praised as a god.
Ah Jiu couldn't help but peek at him again, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became.
Shangguan Junye raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "Taking advantage of this excitement, I have decided to reward the three armies. And specially named Shen Aiqing as the general of Dingguo, Wu Zhonghou, commanding 300,000 Praetorian Guards, hereditary titles for descendants, and giving 10,000 taels of gold and 1,000 acres of fertile land. Shangguan Junye paused and continued: "Another Qiantian Sword will be given, and a gold medal will be given to avoid death." β
There was a sudden burst of envious exclamation and sighs all around. Just these titles are already a great honor, you must know that the Qiantian Sword is the sword of the Zhenguo, the upper beheading of the faint king, the lower beheading of the minister, plus the gold medal of avoiding death......
Oh, my God! Isn't this equivalent to being on an equal footing with the emperor and owning half of the country?
Now, General Shen's power should be greater than that of the Nine Princes!
As a result, the officials with their families gave the girls who had not left the cabinet a suggestive look. If anyone can climb this big tree, they will be able to shine on the lintel, and the whole family will ascend to heaven. Even if you are a concubine, you can enjoy endless glory, wealth and honor!
Shen Junmo was also stunned for a moment, he glanced at the emperor deeply, and then returned to his calm and indifferent bowing: "Weichen thanks the emperor for his grace." β
The daughters of the celebrities present have long been conscious. Even if the emperor didn't reward these, they would have already fallen in love with General Shen's handsome appearance.
Ah Jiu was keenly aware of the strong fierce gaze cast around him. This Shen Junmo is now a big fat sheep in the eyes of all women!
She secretly said in her heart: Tsk, it seems that she has a lot of rivals! However, if she Ah Jiu wants to make a move, how can these ladies be her opponents.
It's a pity that she is in this position now......
Thinking about it, I can't help but feel sad.
Ah Jiu thought that no one would notice her standing behind her, but she frowned for a while, pursed her lips, and even stuck her gaze to other men's demeanor, all falling in someone's eyes.
After the seal was given, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate. At this time, the sound of the silk bamboo piano sounded, and four Maiko Yukan came to the middle. This is a program prepared by the Ministry of Rites for everyone.
Ah Jiu was not interested in watching this kind of cabaret performance at first. Suddenly she heard an exclamation, and she looked up curiously, but saw four Maiko throwing out of the clouds, and the breeze blew, waving layers of waves. A woman in a green shirt with a graceful figure descended from the sky like a fairy and landed lightly on Yunxiu.
She whirls and dances to the music, sometimes briskly like a butterfly fluttering in a flower, sometimes playful like a fairy in the water, sometimes squirming like a snake with a slender waist, with a charming and seductive posture.
Everyone was amazed and couldn't take their eyes off it. Especially the men's wolf-like eyes, staring straight at the cool and attractive concave curves.
This is the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Guoren collected the entire Jiangnan, and finally found a famous singer with both color and art, which has been collected in the house. If it weren't for the sake of currying favor with General Shen, he would still be reluctant to take it out.
Cao Guoren secretly glanced at General Shen, and saw that he was quite satisfied while drinking, and he was overjoyed. After a while, he took the opportunity to dedicate this Ling to General Shen, and if he was willing to accept it, then his career would be guaranteed.
Ah Jiu stood behind Shangguan Jueshi, first looked back and forth at Shen Junmo and the emperor, and finally his eyes stayed on Shangguan Jueshi, and found that he was quite focused, and couldn't help but whisper in a volume that he could only hear: "Pervert!" β
Shangguan's peerless ears were sharp, he turned his face to look at her, and suddenly hooked his lips.
Ah Jiu saw him suddenly look at him and smile weirdly, and suddenly felt a feeling of furry in his heart.
I heard him suddenly speak: "It's just that dancing is too monotonous." β
Shen Junmo and Shangguan Junye looked at him sideways. Shangguan Junye asked, "What good advice does the Nine Emperor Brothers have?" β
Shangguan peerless glanced at Ah Jiu and said with a smile: "This little minion beside my brother also has some talents. β
whatοΌ
Ah Jiu glared at him.
Shangguan Junye looked at what he was pointing at. Ah Jiu froze suddenly, this is the emperor, her ex-husband - looking at her for the first time tonight.
Shangguan Junye was stunned when he saw her appearance clearly.
I'll go, what kind of eyes is that? Why did you look at her with that kind of surprised gaze? Did he recognize her?
She guessed right. Shangguan Junye recognized her at a glance. Even though she was wearing men's clothes, Shangguan Junye, who was deeply impressed by her facial features, still recognized it.
He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shangguan Peerless with scrutinizing eyes. He actually ...... Dare to bring her out so blatantly. Knowing that he could recognize her at a glance, he had to deliberately attract his attention.
Nine Emperor Brothers...... What are your intentions?
Shangguan Peerless calmly met his questioning cold gaze, and still said in a relaxed and comfortable manner: "Why don't you let me, a minion, show you?" β
