Chapter 356: The Queen Mother of the West (1)
Song Yi looked at Xiao Tian's appearance, he was a little annoyed, what he hated most in his life was the person who clings to the powerful, although he heard that when His Majesty was in southern Xinjiang, this person took care of him a lot, but in the final analysis, it was not as good as the military exploits he fought with his life, thinking like this, he was not afraid, staring at Xiao Tian and said: "This is a bad word, in front of Your Majesty, not you can say anything, I returned to the German General's Mansion with a sincere heart, and when I came to Miss Xiao, it turned into a contrived drama to invite merit and reward, it was really ridiculous." β
When Xiao Nai saw Song Yi say this, she got up softly, and said with red eyes: "Naier's heart is straightforward, and her unintentional actions are so serious that the general wants to use the entire general's mansion to suppress me." β
Xiao Nai was already worried during this time, and her body had lost a lot of weight, but now she looks a little more delicate, coupled with her infinitely sad hanging head, her eyes are slightly red, everyone thinks that Song Yi is too deceitful, Shangshu Zhao Yancheng got up and smiled: "It's just a joke, since Miss Xiao also admitted that she was wrong, why should we lose our manners." β
Song Yi's face was blue, Song Yanran's face was not good-looking, but now his father is no longer reasonable, if he goes up to add a fire, I am afraid that Xiao Nai's words are confirmed, she is not more upright than Song Yi, she was destined to live in the back house of a noble family, even if she is from the General's Mansion, she can't honor anything, Xiao Nai's trick, she still sees it really, after a little thought, she figured it out and said: "It's all the little girl's thoughtlessness, which makes everyone laugh, my father just loves his daughter, Miss Xiao Nai don't blame, The courtier's dance made everyone unhappy, which was the sin of the courtier, and asked His Majesty to forgive the sin. β
Xiao Nai didn't expect her to be so polite, and she turned her words back in four or two.
Fuqing looked at the smile on Tuoba Yue's face, and secretly said that it was not good in his heart, so he hurriedly glanced at Zhao Yancheng, Zhao Yancheng wanted to make a round, and when he saw Fuqing like this, he sat down in a daze.
Tuoba Yue played with the crystal clear glass cup in his hand, and the intoxicating plum blossom white took advantage of the splendor of the hall to shine, he suddenly raised his head and drank it all, and then slowly chanted: "Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink the pipa, immediately urge, drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient timesββ"
His voice was low, and the melancholy and heroic feelings in Wang Han's Liangzhou words were already vividly displayed.
The Taihe Hall was silent, as if a piece of snow was falling, and the sound could be heard.
Tuoba Yue raised his head, looked at Xiao Tian standing at the bottom of the steps, and suddenly asked, "What does my uncle think of this Liangzhou poem?" β
Xiao Tian frowned, and could only reply: "There is sadness and tragedy in free and easy. β
Tuoba Yue asked again: "Why is it sad and tragic?" β
Xiao Tian already knew Tuoba Yue's intentions, and his face gradually became a little embarrassed, he was borrowing this Liangzhou word to warn himself that Song Yi was the hero of guarding the border pass, and he was the minister of the court, and he couldn't move.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Tuoba Yue didn't force it, turned his head to Fuqing and said: "I remember that the Western Regions paid tribute to a batch of fine wines before, and among them there were excellent grape wines, which had a mellow smell and were not intoxicating, so let's take this as a reward." β
Song Yi felt a burst of warmth in his heart, and hurriedly leaned over and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward." β
Song Yanran was also overjoyed, thanked her respectfully, and retreated.
Tuoba Yue's move not only suppressed Xiao Tian's arrogance, but also appeased the hearts of the old ministers, killing two birds with one stone.
The second half of the palace banquet is just a graceful song and dance, until late at night, fireworks and blessing Kong Ming lanterns, this is regarded as keeping the New Year, everyone has already been sleepy, and they dispersed in twos and threes.
Fuqing followed Tuoba Yue to Lingxiu Palace, Tuoba Yue just entered Lingxiu Palace, his expression became cold, he stopped, and looked at the little eunuch guarding the door, the little eunuch almost buried his head in the cracks in the ground, and he didn't dare to look at him.
Tuoba Yue sneered and said, "Fuqing, send all the people on duty in Lingxiu Palace to the Shen Penal Division-"
Fuqing didn't know why, and before he could ask why, he saw the drapery sprinkled with gold and garnet red hanging next to the bed in the dormitory moved gently, and a plain white hand stretched out from it, but there were two fingers with gold wires on them.
Fuqing knew it in his heart, and glanced at the little eunuch standing in front of the door viciously.
The little eunuch was already so frightened that he couldn't speak, but just knelt on the ground and kept buttoning his head.
A person walked out of the curtain tent, Fuqing only glanced at it, and then hurried out.
It's Xiao Nai, at this time she is just wearing a moon-white middle coat, which clearly outlines her figure.
She looked at Tuoba Yue with tears on her face, and there was infinite resentment in her eyes, she asked, "Is Brother Yue disgusted with Na'er so far?" β
Tuoba Yue untied the bright yellow fur on his body, threw it over, and said with a different face: "Put it on-"
There is no pity in the simplicity, Xiao Nai's intuitive palm is slippery and greasy, it is obviously the cold winter weather, but there are layers of cold sweat, and he almost can't hold the big one.
The man in front of him had already turned his back, Xiao Nai's heart was horizontal, and he threw the big coat aside, and then took off his middle coat, only wearing a close-fitting small coat, which was delicate pink, and was densely embroidered with lingering mandarin ducks with a neck, and the roughness of the stitches made Xiao Nai tremble layer by layer, she stepped forward quickly, and grabbed Tuoba Yue from behind, crying: "Brother Yue, don't you want Nell anymore?" Nell is wholeheartedly devoted to you and has given you everything, do you look back and see if Nell is okay? β
There was a begging in her voice, she didn't want any dignity, and from the moment she stepped into this Lingxiu Palace, she really felt that she was going to lose Tuoba Yue.
Everything here maintains the appearance of when the woman left, Xiao Nai can even imagine the appearance of He Xi reading a book by the window, which makes her crazy with jealousy, if He Xi is dead, it is fine, so even if Tuoba Yue thinks of her and thinks about her, with the passage of time, sooner or later one day will be smoothed out by the long flow of years.
Butβbut the woman she was clearly not dead, and the child in her womb, either of them was like a guillotine hanging over her head, which would fall at any moment and kill her.
And the person secretly sent by his father couldn't find the slightest clue, and the whole person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
She was resentful and angry, and everything mixed up almost made her lose her mind.
Tuoba Yue lowered his head, suddenly caught a glimpse of something, his eyes flashed, and then he said: "I remember, you said that when you were in Shuzhong, the medicinal effect of the devil was too strong, and I lost my mind and did something that exceeded the etiquette, didn't I?" β
Xiao Nai couldn't hear the joy and anger in his words, so he had to say in a sway: "No, it's Nai'er's willing, Brother Yue, Na'er has never complained about you, I just ask you to let Na'er be by your side-"
Tuoba Yue's eyes deepened, like a leopard hiding in the jungle waiting to catch its prey, he sighed and said, "Naer, I remember that you used to be the most naΓ―ve, what did you become like this?" β
Xiao Nai's body trembled, her hand almost slipped down, and she pulled out a smile with difficulty: "Brother Yue, what are you talking about?" Why can't Nair understand, Nair has never changed, Nair is still the same Nair as before-"
Tuoba Yue pulled away Xiao Nai's stiffly bound arm with his hand, turned around, and saw Xiao Nai's tearful appearance, and he didn't even have half a pity in his heart, he used to be good to Xiao Nai, because only Xiao Nai was good to himself, and he was clean.
Xiao Tian treats herself as a bargaining chip and plays power, but Xiao Nai is different, she has been timid since she was a child, hiding behind Xiao Tian and calling herself Brother Yue, coupled with the similarity between Mei Yu and her mother, he always can't help but pity her, but when she started to do the first thing, that kind of good, she was stained with impurities, it turned out that what she wanted was the same as her father.
Xiao Nai watched Tuoba Yue staring at him tightly, he couldn't help but feel a little shy, his body was soft, and he wanted to fall into his arms, who knew that before he touched the corner of Tuoba Yue's robe, he heard Tuoba Yue say in his most gentle tone: "Nair, if I really occupy your body, why is your palace guard still there?" β
Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, she subconsciously retracted her arms, she unconsciously took half a step back, and sat down on the ground, the cold ground continued to stimulate her senses, but she seemed to be unconscious.
Tuoba Yue looked at her condescendingly, and sighed: "Your father wants to control me by all costs, at all costs, does he want to wait for the day when I become the emperor, make you the empress, and make the second Lan Zhili?" β
Xiao Nai shook his head desperately, tears had already fallen uncontrollably, and he could only mutter: "No, no-"
Tuoba Yue said in a deep voice: "Over the years, how many people has he placed around me? How many things have you done behind my back? Don't you really know? β
Xiao Nai was afraid of being anxious, she crawled forward, crying: "Father, he is not, he is just worried about you, Nell is also worried about you, Brother Yue, you can't be so ruthless, you grew up in southern Xinjiang, you still have Xiao blood in your body, we do all this for Xiao, for my aunt and youββ"
Tuoba Yue shook off Xiao Nai and suddenly laughed mockingly: "For the sake of the concubine? For me? Then I ask you, when I was infected with the epidemic, when life and death were uncertain, why did you return from southern Xinjiang? β
Xiao Nai didn't expect that Tuoba Yue had even found out about this matter, her eyes flashed slightly, and she smiled reluctantly: "Nell is going back to Southern Xinjiang to find medicine, Nellββ"
Tuoba Yue looked at Xiao Nai's weak heart, and knew that he had guessed correctly, he didn't know that Xiao Nai had returned to Southern Xinjiang, but because of Xiao Nai's words before, he took care of him without undressing, and that incident happened again, even Tuoba Yue believed it, maybe Xiao Nai went back to find a prescription, but the moment he saw the palace guard, he understood.
