At the same time, in the Qi Palace Xianle Hall, twelve dancers are carefully rehearsing a dance called "Beauty", this dance follows the Han music, and another singer stands and sings from the side, the lyrics and songs come from the Western Han Dynasty Sima Xiangru's "Beauty Fu", saying: The clouds are rich, the moth eyebrows are bright, the face is full of color, and the scenery is bright.

The dancers are fluttering, but they do not lose the dignity of a great country, and the singers are soft, but they do not reduce the momentum of the long story.

There are two dance floors, and there are all musicians wearing musician costumes, and the zhengqin and piano pipes are like lingering flowing water, and they are like rain beating bamboo; The bell and copper chime are like the earth cracking the mountain, and it is like the long river rushing. Play a row of rigidity and softness, yin and yang coordination of beauty.

Shen Yunzhen walked over with Liu Eryue before and after, and saw Zhixia of Dingxiang Palace standing at the door of Xianle Hall waiting. She also saw Shen Yun and Allah's servants coming towards this side, so she greeted her with a smile.

Zhixia Chong Shen Yun was really blessed and blessed, and said softly: "The emperor originally wanted to hand over the rehearsal of dance and music to my master, but think that my master is already pregnant and can't be tired, so it's troublesome." ”

Shen Yunzhen nodded slightly: "This palace knows." ”

Zhixia smiled again: "This dance music is used to entertain the envoys of the Lu State when preparing for peace talks, as long as it shows the momentum of our great country." ”

Shen Yunzhen nodded again: "The emperor has already said it to the palace." ”

Seeing this, Zhixia gave her a blessing: "Then the lady went in with the slave maid, right?" ”

There are many Xiangfei bamboos planted in the backyard of Xianle Hall, and the year is not long, so the bamboo branches are slender. Pressed by a thin layer of snow in winter, it still stands straight.

On the dance floor, a middle-aged man in the costume of the chief manager walked back and forth with a bamboo pole, sometimes stopping in front of a musician, correcting a few words, and then walking towards another person.

"That's the head of the Xianle Pavilion, called Fang Lan." Zhixia said softly to Shen Yunzhen.

Fang Lan saw that Zhixia led a person in concubine clothes to walk in, and knew that the person was Concubine Chen, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Weichen Fang Lan asks Concubine Chen's mother." ”

"Get up," Shen Yunzhen raised his hand at him: "Don't worry about this palace, you can continue." ”

As soon as Fang Yu passed, the music resounded.

Zhixia led Shen Yunzhen to sit down on the viewing platform, and a tea servant and maid brought refreshments. It's a small two-story building, and you can just see the actions of everyone in the orchestra pit below, and even the faces can be seen clearly.

Zhixia condensed Shen Yunzhen for a while, and then said to Shen Yunzhen: "Niangniang, the slave maid heard that Lu Guo has captured the puppet Emperor Nan Yinglin, and he will soon be able to send him back to Daqi, is this true?" ”

Shen Yunzhen nodded slightly, and Zhixia said again: "Then ......"

She suddenly swallowed, her expression was strange, Shen Yunzhen and Liu Eryue couldn't help but look at her at the same time.

"What do you want to say?" Shen Yunzhen asked.

Zhixia whispered: "The slave maid is just a little worried, if the puppet emperor tells all the things about the Yushan Palace, then the emperor will definitely be angry with the two masters." ”

Shen Yunzhen's eyes trembled slightly, saying that he was angry with the two masters, which was just a polite remark. Everyone knows that Concubine Su De does not occupy much of a position in Nan Yinglin's life, and no one will doubt that Concubine Su De is committed to him.

However, Shen Yun is really different.

When Nan Yinglin was in power, the imperial historians had written a book of advice, accusing Shen Yun of being a demon concubine who charmed the king's heart. Later, Nan Jingpei returned to power, and some imperial historians told the emperor about her and Nan Yinglin before.

The reason why this matter has not broken out is entirely because the imperial court did not catch Nan Yinglin, and as soon as he falls into the hands of the imperial court, this matter will cause an uproar.

This matter had already been suppressed by Nan Jingpei, but I don't know why this little palace maid suddenly mentioned this matter today.

Shen Yunzhen glanced at Zhixia lightly: "The body is not afraid of shadows, this palace and Sister Su are not committed to Nan Yinglin, so why are they afraid of gossip?" ”

"That's what I said," Zhixia said again: "But according to the slave's opinion, Nan Yinglin is timid by nature, and when he dies, he must pull people on his back, and there are some things that Niangniang should take precautions as soon as possible!" ”

Shen Yunzhen listened to her words, and unconsciously hooked the corners of her lips slightly. She only knew that Zhixia was an extremely smart little palace maid before, but she didn't expect her to have such scheming.

"Is this what Sister Su meant?" She asked.

Zhixia shook his head and said bluntly: "This is just a small insight of the slave maid, my master has been eating fasting and reciting Buddha recently, and he is determined to accumulate virtue and do good deeds for the little prince in the womb, and he always says to the slave and maid what to be forgiving and forgiving." The slave was worried again, so she dared to ask Concubine Chen to take an idea. ”

Shen Yunzhen smiled gently: "This is not a trivial matter, Rong Bengong will think about it." You go back first, and if the palace has a decision, then ask Qingluo to inform you. ”

Zhixia responded and happily retreated. Seeing her figure disappear out of sight, Liu Eryue said, "Master, do you really plan to kill Nan Yinglin?" ”

Shen Yunzhen raised his eyes and looked at her: "What?" Do you really believe her words? ”

Liu February's stunned moment, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while: "Could it be that Xia is lying?" ”

Shen Yunzhen shook her head: "She's not lying, it's just that she wants to kill people with a knife, and by the way, she kills two birds with one stone." ”

"The slave doesn't understand." Liu February's eyebrows looked at her, and she was already shivering.

"The emperor already knows the matter of An Parallel Palace, and the reason why he didn't have a seizure is because the emperor doesn't believe that this palace will commit to Nan Yinglin at all. But if this palace kills Nan Yinglin at this moment, wouldn't he be a thief? In that way, nothing will become something, but it will be true. ”

"Oh......" Liu Eryue nodded, and suddenly her heart beat wildly for a while, she didn't want to fight side by side in the past, and her friend who had fought side by side had already sharpened her knife in an instant, and she couldn't turn around for a while, and she felt a little chilled.

"Then why didn't the master pierce her just now?" She asked again.

"Piercing?" Shen Yunzhen sneered disapprenousively: "Isn't that equivalent to pulling Concubine Su De in?" ”

Judging from Shen Yunzhen's understanding of Concubine Su De, Concubine Su Defei didn't know about it.

Although Concubine Su De is not extremely smart, she is self-aware, the most rare thing in this life is to recognize herself, Concubine Su De knows so clearly that she is not a very important person in the emperor's heart. From this point of view, Zhixia is just a little smart.

Zhixia didn't play tricks in front of Shen Yunzhen for herself, presumably it was Taishi Su who secretly instructed her to do so. Mrs. Su knew his daughter too well, he knew that his daughter had shared ups and downs with Shen Yunzhen, and he would definitely not turn his head to deal with Shen Yunzhen. Instead of competing with her, it is better to let Zhixia do it directly.

Concubine Su Dezhen is unwilling to deal with Shen Yunzhen, how can Shen Yunzhen want to deal with Concubine Su Dezhen?

Therefore, although she noticed that Zhixia was abnormal, she did not expose it. Such a little trick, Shen Yunzhen was already tired of playing when she first arrived at Tian Meiren's side.

"That's it," Shen Yunzhen waved his hand: "It's just a trivial matter, no matter how she provokes, this palace won't accept it." ”

She was chatting with Liu February, when she suddenly heard the voice of a eunuch in the courtyard. In a few moments, the emperor had already stepped up to the second floor.

Shen Yun was really busy leaning down to say goodbye, but Nan Jingpei stopped him: "Get up." ”

"Why is the emperor interested in coming to the Xianle Pavilion?" As she spoke, she instructed Liu February's to arrange refreshments.

Nan Jingpei smiled slightly, also sat down, and took a sip of Shen Yunzhen's teacup: "A group of old ministers came to intercede for Nan Yinglin, and Rory said that I had a headache, so I found a reason to come out." However, I was not polite, and told them all to return to their hometowns. ”

Shen Yunzhen pursed her lips: "It must be a cliché again, saying that the king is the blood of the first emperor, and he has the same ancestor as the emperor, and the emperor governs the country with benevolence, and killing his brother is against the word benevolence." She said with a disapproving sneer: "They still think that they are in line with Confucian benevolence, but they don't know that interceding for the traitor is tantamount to acting for the tiger." ”

Nanjing Pei laughed loudly: "How do you know what they say?" ”

"I guessed it," Shen Yunzhen kneaded Nan Jingpei's shoulder: "The puppet emperor is heinous, and if you want to intercede for him, you can only say that you have 'flesh and blood affection'." ”

Nan Jingpei closed his eyes gently, his ears were filled with the music of Huang Zhong Dalu, he nodded slightly with the music, and said to Shen Yunzhen: "Ci is not in charge of soldiers and righteousness, and he is not in charge of wealth, this time I will never be half merciful to him again." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly saw Donglai coming up to the viewing platform, his face was a little solemn, as if a thousand pounds of big stone was falling in his heart, and he looked uneasy.

He bowed down and walked in front of the emperor and knelt down: "Your Majesty, something has happened." ”

Nan Jingpei opened his eyes: "What's the matter?" ”

Donglai said: "Lu Guo sent an envoy Chu Ping here. ”

"Oh?" Nan Jingpei raised her eyebrows slightly

"He brought Lu Guo's war book." East said.

Nan Jingpei's eyes suddenly stood up, he stared at the east for a while, and said faintly: "That little emperor of Lu Guo is a little bold." ”

Donglai lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to summon him?" ”

Nan Jingpei touched the fence and his eyes fell on the musicians who were still rehearsing downstairs. Seeing this, Donglai hurriedly went online and shouted downstairs: "Stop, stop!" All stop! Don't queue anymore! ”

Chu Ping was taken to the Qinzheng Hall to wait for the emperor to summon him, and Nan Jingpei changed into a court dress to meet him.

"Chu Ping, the envoy of the State of Lü, see His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qi." Chu Ping leaned down and knelt deeply.

Nan Jingpei stared at the not wide figure under the jade steps, and after a long time, he said, "Get up." ”

Lu Guo's national letter had already been placed on Nan Jingpei's desk, and he lowered his head to read it, and the more he read, the more surprised he became.

"Lu Guo will marry Princess Jiahui to one of my fugitives from Daqi?" He sneered: "This is a bit sloppy, isn't it? ”

Chu Ping pursed his lips and didn't speak, maybe he felt sloppy in his heart, but at this moment he represented the entire Lu Kingdom and not himself, and he couldn't express his attitude to Nan Jingpei.

He pondered for a while before he said: "My Empress Dowager thinks that King Nan Yinglin is the orthodox throne of the Great Qi, and the marriage with my princess is a match made in heaven. ”

"In this way, Lu Guo is the empress dowager." Nan Jingpei said sarcastically unceremoniously.

Chu Ping was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "What does the Great Qi Emperor mean by this?" ”
