[Chapter 9: Lang Shiqing and Concubine Shiyan] (3)
In the Taiji Palace, everyone talked happily.
It was rare to see such a harmonious scene, and Li Dan was very relieved. He first looked at his smiling sister, and then at San Lang, who at least looked humble and polite on the surface, nodded secretly, and suddenly remembered that not long ago, the young son seemed to be a little unwell, so he turned his head to look at Concubine Wang Xian's seat.
And at this moment, in the seat of Concubine Wang Xian, I don't know when she is the only one left.
"Where's Goro?" Li Dan asked.
Concubine Wang Xian shook her head helplessly: "He thought I was annoying here, so he said that he wanted to go out to breathe." I couldn't stop it, so I let him go. β
"He's okay, right?"
Concubine Wang Xian pursed her lips: "Looking at his active appearance, it doesn't look like he's sick." β
Li Dan smiled and said, "Fang Niang, it's also because your loving mother is too much. How old is Gorou, and he is still sitting with his mother at the banquet, what kind of physique has he become? β
Concubine Wang Xian was not happy, but she still smiled brightly: "The sage thinks the concubine is too much? The concubine went back to the palace and thought about it. With that, he stood up, turned his head around the wall, and walked out through the back door of the Taiji Hall.
"It's obvious that I'm worried about Wulang, and if I want to go out to find him, I have to put the fault on me......" Li Dan raised his hand to stop him, so he could only look at the direction where Concubine Wang Xian left, and sighed aggrievedly.
The Tai Chi Hall is very lively, but the courtyard is quiet.
In the middle of summer, there are still clothes under her coat?!
Cui Xiang became more and more angry, and immediately reached out to pull it again, but the belt of Xiao Jiangyuan's snow-white shirt was extremely tight, and he tried hard several times, but he didn't tear it open. He tried to calm himself and patiently untie the knot, but it didn't work well with one hand, and instead of untying the knot, he made it tighter.
Xiao Jiangyuan quietly looked at Cui Yu without speaking, and his expression was very peaceful. Seeing this, Cui Xiang's eyes flashed, and he sneered, and actually leaned down and bit the knot on the side of Xiao Jiangyuan's neck!
Xiao Jiangyuan immediately turned his head sideways to avoid it. Feeling Cui Xiang's fiery breathing on his neck, his slightly loose hair still poked her cheeks itching, her eyes were cold, but the corners of her lips were hooked.
After the cooperation of teeth and hands, Cui Yu finally untied the knot in his underwear. He couldn't wait to lift the placket of his undershirt, but he almost turned his back in anger - how could there be another layer here?!
"This knot is not as easy to untie as the one just now." Xiao Jiangyuan said lightly. As early as the moment she heard the rumors about herself, she did not hesitate to sweat in the heat and put on three layers of underwear, and one knot was more cumbersome and tighter than the other.
"Youβ" Cui said angrily.
"Dare to ask Cui Zuocheng," Xiao Jiangyuan interrupted with a direct smile, "Do you want to see whether the slave is a man or a woman, is it your idea, or the idea of Princess Zhenguo?" β
Cui Xiang's face changed suddenly.
It seems that Cui Zuocheng doesn't care whether the slave is a man or a woman, and he doesn't even want to see the slave or maid at all, he just does what he is ordered to do, and he has no other choice. In order not to expose the princess of Zhenguo behind her, she performed the play just now. β
Thinking back to what he had just said and done, Cui Xiang's voice lowered: "Fang Cai...... It's not all performances. β
ββ¦β¦ People are dead, does that matter? β
"Of course it is!" Cui Xiang said hatefully, "Do you think everyone is as cold-blooded as you?" She is the one who brought you out of the court, she is the one who taught you to speak and write, she is the one who teaches you with all her heart, and everything you have now is due to her! Why didn't you save her?! β
Xiao Jiangyuan suddenly understood something, but he didn't have any explanation, he only chuckled: "It turns out that Cui Zuocheng took refuge in Princess Zhenguo, not for his own power and glory, but for his deep affection, and he wants to avenge Shangguan Zhaorong?" β
Cui Xiang's face changed slightly: "You...... You don't deserve to mention her! β
Xiao Jiangyuan smiled coldly: "I am half an apprentice of Shangguan Zhaorong, she never regretted it until she died, I don't know who Cui Zuocheng is, and she is worthy of using her as an excuse to cling to power?" β
"I didn't!"
"Before I decided that I didn't have it, I still hope that Cui Zuocheng will take a good look at the state of you and me at this time. Can you endure the nausea and touch me, not to fulfill the orders of the princess of Zhenguo - well, the entrustment? β
Cui Xiang immediately let go of his hand, got up and stood aside, first took out the silk handkerchief, rubbed his hands very hard, and shook the hem of his skirt fiercely, as if in this way he could clean the place that touched Xiao Jiangyuan.
Xiao Jiangyuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and Shi Shiran stood up. She didn't rush to tidy up her clothes, but just opened it up and approached Cui Xiang step by step: "Cui Zuocheng may not like to hear it, but the slave still has to say, Shangguan Zhaorong, she died well, if she is chased in the future, at least she will still be a Zhaorong." If she hadn't died, I was afraid that not only would she not have a good death, but she would also be like Wei Shu and the rebellious Shu people, even if she was buried with a first-grade ceremony or a third-grade ceremony, she would eventually have a bad reputation.
"Weigh the world, red-makeup prime minister, do you want her to die with such a reputation, and after her death, she will be remembered, regretted, sympathized and even admired openly, or will she not be at peace after her death, and she will be scolded by all generations?"
"So, you didn't save her?" Cui Xiang snorted coldly, "How nice it is, you just use her death to win Li Sanlang's trust in you." β
Xiao Jiangyuan let him say it, neither explained nor denied it, and even said: "People in the same way know each other very well. β
"You!" Cui Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "Don't get too complacent. In the scorching heat, you can still wear these layers under your coat, and the knots are still tied so tightly, doesn't that show your identity? β
"Then Cui Zuocheng should go and tell the princess of Zhenguo, but before that, I also ask Cui Zuocheng to demonstrate the dance of "The Longevity Girl", so that the slave can learn it." After a pause, Xiao Jiangyuan said, "Just once, the slave remembers." β
is well-informed and strong, and so is Shangguan Wan'er. Cui Xiang didn't look at Xiao Jiangyuan anymore, turned around and walked to the side, and began to demonstrate the dance. Xiao Jiangyuan watched Cui Xiang's dancing posture and began to take off his coat and untie his underwear. After Cui Xiang finished jumping, when he looked back, he inevitably saw Xiao Jiangyuan's half-naked body.
She hadn't begun to take off the lower half of her body, only the round-neck blouse and the undershirt of her upper body had been removed, leaving the snow-white cloth band that was tightly and densely wrapped around her chest and abdomen, which was clearly displayed in front of Cui Xiang's eyes.
For a while, the scene when Shangguan Wan'er was holding Xiao Jiangyuan when she was a child and teaching her to write came into his mind, Cui Xiang picked up his dance clothes and threw it at Xiao Jiangyuan's upper body: "What are you doing?" β
"Doesn't Cui Zuocheng want to see it? Thinking that if he couldn't see it, he wouldn't be able to return to the princess of Zhenguo, so the slave maid would help Cui Zuocheng. β
Cui Yu is indeed still skeptical about whether Xiao Jiangyuan is a man or a woman, after all, Xiao Jiangyuan's performance is so surprising that he can't be sure. And now, Xiao Jiangyuan is about to take the initiative to send it to the door, but he doesn't want to come forward. Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan was about to untie the belt of his chest, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop it: "With this chest, it is enough." β
Since she wears a bib, it means that she is a woman, how can a man wear a bib?
She can even put on several layers of underwear in advance in case of self-help, and she can wrap her chest in advance so that she can cheat and confuse the public at any time, isn't it impossible? He didn't want to care so much.
"Ah Yuan!" Suddenly, I heard a rush of footsteps and a shout, and the door was pushed open, and Li Longye, who was dressed in a fancy suit, immediately rushed in, "Are you okay...... Right? β
Li Longye froze as if he had been struck by lightning, staring at Xiao Jiangyuan's chestβthere were layers of snow white and Xiao Jiangyuan's hands, which were also covered with Cui Yan's hands.
A nameless anger suddenly ignited in his chest, Li Longye raised his foot and kicked Cui Xiang aside, ran to Xiao Jiangyuan, grabbed his clothes and covered Xiao Jiangyuan's body, and said while covering: "What a sanctimonious hypocrite!" Shameless! Vile! Dirty! See if I don't tell Ayer! Get you out of Chang'an! Never Hiring! β
Without waiting for Cui Xiang's reaction, Xiao Jiangyuan said, "King Xue misunderstood. β
"Where did I misunderstand?!"
"Before the slave maid became a eunuch, he was naturally a man, and Cui Zuocheng was also a man, so why not guide the slave and maid how to change women's clothes?" Xiao Jiangyuan said seriously, "Anyway, the slave maid is embarrassed to let the palace people and other servants who are women see the slave maid's body, so only Cui Zuocheng can help the slave maid, but King Xue ...... him."
Cui Xiang didn't expect Xiao Jiangyuan to intercede for herself, but yes, if this matter spreads, it will not do her any good, it will only make her reveal her identity earlier, it is better to give him a way out, and give her a way out. She could have imagined that even if Princess Zhenguo learned her identity, she would not expose it immediately?
Li Longye still didn't believe it, but seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan said this, he had nothing to refute. He turned a blind eye to the snow-white cloth belts, and smiled at Xiao Jiangyuan as before: "So that's the case. Cui Zuocheng, I was offended just now, you won't blame me, right? β
Cui Yu stood up and arched his hand: "Chenglan doesn't dare." β
Li Longye nodded: "Don't you dare, I can't do anything else, you can't stay in Chang'an, you can still do it." β
"King Xue is right."
"By the way, how to wear this dance costume, you have already taught Ah Yuan, right?"
"Exactly."
"What about dancing and singing?"
"I've been taught."
"Ah Yuan, are you all right?"
Xiao Jiangyuan said: "Cui Zuocheng teaches very seriously, and the slaves and maids are already all right." β
Li Longye said "um": "Then Cui Zuocheng will step back first, there is still me here." β
When Cui Xiang heard this, he obediently retreated. As soon as the door was closed by Cui Xiang, Li Longye asked, "What happened just now?" Without waiting for Xiao Jiangyuan to answer, he said first, "I'm not a fool, you are not allowed to fool me!" β
Xiao Jiangyuan had no choice but to tell Li Longye everything about Fang Cai, and even if Li Longye wanted to rush out and beat Cui Xiang again, he was stopped by Xiao Jiangyuan: "This incident should be treated as if it never happened, and the slave maid has her own plans." β
"You don't lie to me!"
"How could the slave have deceived King Xue?" Xiao Jiangyuan smiled comfortingly, "Slave maid, please enter the urn." β
The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
