Chapter 53: Distress in the Palace
Yat-sen Palace
After everyone sat down, soon a eunuch sang: "The emperor has arrived, the queen mother has arrived, and the imperial concubine has arrived." All the people stood up and saluted.
"Everyone, sit down!" Yun Tianfeng sat down and said, "Listen to the poems in the imperial garden from the slaves, and then you will be terrible. After speaking, he looked at Nanling Mo and said, "The county lord of Ren'an is really talented and intelligent, and his thinking is quick. The king of Zhennan has a good way to teach his daughter! King Zhennan and Nan Lingmo got up at the same time, and King Zhennan bowed down and replied: "The little girl's qualifications are dull, thanks to the careful teaching of the academy and the mountain chief, she can make up for it, and it is the credit of the academy to have today." ”
Yun Tianfeng smiled and asked the two to sit down, and said loudly: "Let's start the table!" The palace maid beside Xie Wanru clapped her hands and signaled the singing and dancing to begin.
This time, the Yun brothers all attended the palace banquet, and it was rare that Yun Tianhong was not late, and arrived at the Yixian Hall at the last moment before the emperor and the queen mother entered. After three rounds of drinking, Helian Zheng got up and said: "The song and dance of the Great Yan Kingdom is really moving, why don't you Emperor Yan enjoy the dance of our Beirong?" ”
Yun Tianfeng looked at the Empress Dowager Chen with a smile and said, "I don't know what the queen mother wants?" Empress Dowager Chen replied with a smile: "The mourning family has never seen the dance of Beirong, so it is better to watch it at all." ”
As soon as the words fell, a huqin sounded. Everyone saw seven or eight women dressed in light gauze and bearded clothes running quickly towards the center of the hall, although these dancing girls were not skinny like clotted fat, but this red light veil, bare water snake waist, and bewitching dancing posture made the men in the hall see the blood swelling. In the middle, a woman dressed in a yellow gauze dress with silver bells on the skirt is particularly eye-catching.
The rapid sound of the huqin sounded again, as if the surging river was rolling eastward, and the huqin was pulled faster and faster, faster and faster, falling like a torrential rain. In this rapid sound of the piano, the bell in Helianyue's hand also crackled like a rain, her hand posture and waist moved faster and more exquisitely, suddenly, a pick, Helian Yue jumped lightly, and the yellow Hufu bloomed like petals!
Before the crowd could catch her, she spun at high speed. At the same time, her finger posture is constantly changing, her thumb is buckled into a phoenix eye, her middle finger is twisted into an orchid, and her index finger is compared to a peacock...... The high-speed rotation makes the yellow dance skirt leave yellow phantoms in the air! The constantly changing gestures make these apparitions look wonderful and different! Looking along the phantoms, a circle was formed around the bonfire, and each beautiful dance gesture was like a demagogic net, as if to draw people closer to this dance music......
Nan Lingmo looked at Yun Tianhong and found that he was also looking at herself, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. And Yun Tianpei, the king of music beside him, stared intently at the dancing Helian Yue, and His Royal Highness King Li, who was on the left hand of the king of music, drank without squinting, and talked to His Royal Highness King Mu beside him from time to time.
When the sound of the huqin fell, everyone applauded and couldn't stop praising each other. Helian Yue, who was wearing a yellow Hu Xuan dance dress, gasped and saluted, and Yun Tianfeng praised it even more when he came to his senses: "Princess Helian's dancing posture is really wonderful, it is comparable to the posture of Feiyan. I once said to the prince of Beirong that you are allowed to choose your own wishful husband. Now that the palace is full of me, I am a great son, I don't know which one the princess fancies? ”
Helian Yue unceremoniously pointed to His Royal Highness King Li, who was drinking, and said, "I want him!" Everyone was stunned, An Yurao didn't know how hard it took to restrain her emotions, biting her lower lip and bowing her head without speaking. Nanling Mo saw her expression slightly, and slightly understood in her heart that what the eldest princess Rong Zhen said was the truth. His Royal Highness King Li didn't move at all, as if he hadn't heard Helian Yue's words, and he didn't even give her a look. Helian Yue felt that he had no face on his face, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
Seeing this, the crown prince Helian Zheng said: "In this way, this palace once got a piece of beautiful jade, which was carved into this nine-linked jade ring, as long as someone present can untie this serial jade, then the princess just made a joke." ”
Soon, there were chamberlains who spread the jade ring all over the hall, and everyone couldn't solve the law, and Emperor Xiping also felt that he had no face. Seeing that the Beirong people had a smug look on their faces, Nanling Mo suddenly chuckled, everyone looked at her, and Emperor Xiping asked, "Ren'an, what are you laughing at?" ”
Nanling Mo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the courtiers have a way, but they are afraid of hurting the face of the distinguished guests." ”
Helian Yue said unceremoniously: "Hmph, you can open it and talk about it!" Nanling Mo got up and picked up the Nine Connected Jade Rings, walked to the center of the hall, and said in a hard voice to Helian Yue: "If the county lord opens it, then my fourth brother will not marry!" After speaking, in front of everyone's eyes, Nanling Mo directly smashed the Nine Jade Rings on the ground. The jade fell in response to the sound and shattered into several petals, which was naturally solved.
Everyone's faces changed drastically, and they were thinking that the county lord of Ren'an had probably stabbed the hornet's nest, and some people were gloating and watching the joke. Emperor Xiping was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed "hahahahaha", and then everyone laughed. Nanling Mo saluted and said: "Your Majesty, it was Ren'an who was reckless, but this solution is afraid that it will hurt the face of Beirong's distinguished guests, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”
"The county lord of Ren'an is really smart," Yun Tianfeng said with a smile, "The king of Zhennan has really raised a good daughter. ”
"You !!" Helian Yue was furious, "This is my Beirong treasure!" How dare you damage it like that! ”
"Don't worry, princess," King Li smiled slightly, "I Dayan pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang, jade belongs to yin and yang, why don't you ask the palace craftsmen to inlay with gold, metal yang, so the harmony of yin and yang, is a good omen for the top." ”
Helian Zheng got up and stepped forward and arched his hand to Yun Tianfeng and said, "My sister is stubborn and likes to joke, please Your Majesty Haihan, don't take your previous words seriously." ”
Yun Tianfeng said with a smile: "The youngest daughter loves to joke, I should understand it, since the Emperor of Beirong talked about marriage, I have already married my cousin into Beirong as a princess, and now I have named Princess Helian as a concubine and given a residence in the Moon Palace." ”
Everyone was relieved to see that this peace had finally come to an end. At this time, they all stood up and raised their glasses in unison to congratulate His Majesty and the Prince of Beirong.
Nanling Mo had no intention of appreciating the song and dance after sitting down, and he didn't want to look at the person in the upper seat. She was afraid that the more she looked at it, the more she hated, and she couldn't control herself and wanted to rush up and kill that person to avenge herself, and avenge the lives of more than 300 people in the Zhenguo Mansion. The anger burned all over her body, and she used the only reason to control herself to calm down, and it took seven or eight glasses of wine in a row to calm the anger in her heart slightly.
After a few glasses of wine, she felt a little drunk, so she quietly left the banquet with Mei Xue, wanting to go outside to breathe. The cold breath outside the hall suddenly made Nanling Mo, whose brain was hot, sober up. She took several deep breaths and said softly, "Mei Xue, help me go!" ”
The master and servant walked out along the Yixian Palace, and they didn't know how long they walked, as if they had arrived near the Thousand Carp Pond. It was about to be blown by the wind, and Nan Lingmo felt a little like vomiting. She eased up a little and ordered: "Mei Xue, I'm a little drunk, you go to the side hall to find the palace people to ask for a bowl of sobering soup, I will hold on to the white jade railing along the road and slowly walk towards the side hall." Mei Xue left in response, leaving Nan Lingmo alone and slowly walking back.
"Humph! /people, you stand for this palace! Nan Lingmo was suddenly stunned by a coquettish shout, she looked back and forth, left and right, and there seemed to be no one else in the entire corridor except her. She fixed her eyes and saw that it was Helian Yue, the princess of Beirong.
"I don't know who Princess Helian is calling 'cheap/human'?" Nanling Mo asked with a smile.
"'Cheap/human' is naturally called you!" Helian Yue didn't want to rush out directly, followed by the little palace maid in the palace who couldn't help laughing out loud for a while when she heard it. Princess Helian reacted and slapped her in the face angrily.
After beating the palace maid, Helian Yue took out a dagger from his sleeve and was about to stab the palace maid, Nan Lingmo hurriedly stepped forward to stop Helian Yue and said: "Princess Helian, the palace maids in this palace are all good family girls in my Dayan country, and you can leave the palace after the age of twenty-five, you can't careless of people's lives." ”
"Hmph, what is a low/cheap/slave?!" Helian Yue said angrily, "If this palace wants her to die, she has to die!" Saying that, Helian Yue shook off Nan Lingmo's hand and was about to stab the little palace maid.
said that it was too late, Nan Lingmo grabbed Princess Helian's hand holding the dagger tightly with one hand, and wanted to snatch the dagger with one hand. It's a stalemate. The little palace maid seemed to be frightened and stupid, and stayed where she was. "Don't go find someone yet, what are you going to do!" The little palace maid suddenly realized and hurriedly ran in the direction of the Yixian Palace.
Helian Yue gritted her teeth and said as she broke free: "It's all you, a cheap/person, who has ruined the good things of this palace again and again!" You hurt this palace to marry His Royal Highness King Li, and you will lose face in the public, and today this palace will paint your face to see who dares to marry you!! As he spoke, he changed direction and waved at Nan Lingmo's face.
Helian Yue is a native of Beirong, and her physique is taller and stronger than Nanling Mo, although her kung fu is not necessarily better than Nan Lingmo, but Nan Lingmo can't make it hard to drink too much, and her physical strength has been exhausted just now. At this time, her hands were already stiff and sweating profusely, Helian Yue struggled to break free when she saw the opportunity coming, and the blade scratched Nan Lingmo's hand, and the huge inertia made her fall into the water.
Princess Helian was frightened when she saw her fall into the water, she originally just wanted to teach Nanling Mo a lesson, but she didn't really want her life. It's just that she doesn't know what to do, and she provokes herself again and again, and her great anger makes her lose her mind. Nanling Mo was drunk and out of strength and couldn't drink water, so she was choked by the water and fainted directly. Princess Helian was about to run, but found Yun Tianhong and Mei Xue appearing in front of her with a cloak and sobering soup.
"Save people." Mei Xue didn't wait for Yun Tianhong's command, and hurriedly jumped into the water to find Nanling Mo. Nan Lingmo in the water felt a violent tearing and burning sensation in her body, and her brain felt like it was about to explode. Slowly, even consciousness became unclear and dizzy. In her previous life, the scene of witnessing the killing of more than 300 people in the Zhenguo Mansion reappeared in front of her.
Am I going to die? No, no, I'm not reconciled, my revenge hasn't been avenged, how can I leave like this? Just when she thought she was going to die in the lake, she suddenly felt a light in her eyes, and fresh air poured into her nose......
