Chapter 569: The spy enters the palace, and the "lark" appears
Fangyi Hall of Huazhang Fang, in the Eastern Ming Dynasty is a well-known theater, at first it was a place where the common people gathered in the market, the facilities were simple, and later it was undertaken by a businessman with a lot of brains, after a large renovation, set up an elegant room to clear the seat, and invited famous actors to perform here, and gradually became a place for literati and elegant guests and noble ladies to enjoy the play, and ordinary civilians became extinct in Fangyi Hall.
With the arrival of the Fame Club in Beijing, Fangyitang took the lead in inviting them to the stage, and the entire Huazhangfang was lively and boiling, and the incense cars and BMWs continued to enter Huazhangfang, and their exchanges were even better than the New Year's Lantern Festival.
This is already the tenth day, and after today, the Fame Club will not take the stage in the market, but will start to go to the major mansions to hold singing halls.
In the elegant seat separated by a painting screen facing the stage, Peng Lan watched the "Overlord of Chu" on the stage slash to himself in the swan song, couldn't help but high-five, turned his face to look at Yang Liu with a restless look, and became a little more interested: "There are very few spring banquets this year, and it is easy to look forward to the fame coming to Kyoto. ”
Yang Liu smiled lightly: "You don't know, I went back to my ancestral hometown to live for a period of time when I was a child, and I saw the reputation of the performance, at that time a few boudoirs were really called famous actors, and later I heard that this reputation will also have a branch, looking at these few today, they are all extremely faced, maybe because I came to Kyoto, the play is more in line with the northerners' appreciation, not like the few elegant performances I watched in the south at that time, although it is also better than ordinary, how much reminds me of some old things, only a little distracted." ”
Peng Lan was slightly silent and said, "Yes, I remember that you gossiped with Ah Jing again, saying that you lived in Concubine Yang's house in the south at that time, and Ah Jing also asked if you knew a person named Wei Ran...... But I remembered Concubine Yang. ”
"My cousin was very fond of watching dramas at that time." Yang Liu lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the sadness in his eyes.
Peng Lan changed the topic: "Ah Jing and Eleven Niang don't like those scenes where talented and beautiful people love each other, this time I heard that the reputation will be based on 'The Story of a Thousand Golds' and 'The Story of the Sword', etc., and thought they would not miss it, so Ying Yu didn't say it, because they were pregnant, but the two of them didn't come." ”
"Ah Jing is in charge of the feed now, how can there be so many idleness in the past, as for Eleven Niang...... The matter of dancing was in an uproar, the crown princess was her eldest sister, and the Wei family was also closely watched at this time, how could she be in the mood to come out to listen to the play. ”
Peng Lan bowed slightly, did not talk about political affairs in depth, his eyes widened slightly, but he saw several men in brocade clothes arrive in front of the stage, and vaguely heard one of them asking the class master to come to see him with a sharp voice.
Yang Liu also paid attention, and couldn't help but glance at Peng Lan, and both of them leaned over to lower their voices.
"It's like an inner servant, and I don't know which prince's mansion it is." Peng Lan naturally didn't think that the Son of Heaven still had leisure to listen to the drama at this time, so he made a special trip to invite the reputation to enter the palace to perform.
Yang Liu once went in and out of the East Palace, and he knew a few female officials: "It's the prince." ”
Peng Lan was a little disdainful: "Your Highness still has this leisure at this time." ”
The overlord of Chu who had just fallen to Yu Ji's side was the head of the class, and at this time he was bowing down and inviting those high-spirited visitors to go to the back stage.
It didn't take long for the conversation between them to reach his goal in a few words, and he led Sui Cong away with his head held high, without answering the class master's courtesy, and his eyes did not look at the tea cup presented.
The head of the class sent the group of uninvited guests away with a hug, and it took a while to straighten his waist, but a handsome face with a little pastel was instantly solemn, and a cold light swept in his eyes.
"Go out and keep watch." The "poppy beauty" also stepped in at this time, waving his hand to drink away from the idler, but his voice was no longer as soft and melodious as when he was on stage, and it was a little cold, it turned out that this was also a man.
"It's the Silkworm Garden." King Chu looked at Yu Meiren's gaze as if he was excited, and with a bit of ambition and the poignancy of breaking his wrist.
"Sure enough, it was really expected by the man." The poppy took a deep breath.
"After years of preparation, we seized the opportunity." King Chu raised his sword eyebrows obliquely: "Even if the soul is cut off from a foreign land, it is not vain that the king attaches great importance to our family." ”
"It's a pity that I can't slash the Da Long Dog Emperor, and I am ashamed of the Northern Plains." The poppy's makeup is still gorgeous, but her clenched fists are full of muscles.
"As long as they can successfully assassinate the crown prince, it will also be a heavy blow to Dalong, and this time they still have the cooperation of traitors, they must be the prince who covets the throne, if they can cause civil strife, it will be of great benefit to my northern plains." The overlord of Chu also clenched into a fist, and his frowning brows were still worried: "But the person who has helped us over the years has not yet found out the details, his identity is so mysterious, and he has such ability, it is really shocking, we are directly under the king's order to sneak into Dalong, but that person knows the identity of you and me well, it must be a detail among the king's cronies, I am afraid that other countries have ill intentions, and it will be unfavorable to Beiyuan in the future." ”
"Didn't the eldest brother already hand over the book to remind the king to pay attention to ......?"
The overlord of Chu sighed for a long time: "I'm afraid that the king doesn't care, it's just that, we have done what we should do, with a clear conscience, you and I will die for the country, and the king will remember our loyalty." ”
The Beiyuan fine workers have already had the will to die, and in the western suburbs of the palace garden, the prince did not know that he was about to experience death.
The prince was not dissatisfied with Kong Jun's persuasion to leave the palace, but agreed very much, the Haoying Garden is an imitation of the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, compared with the majestic atmosphere and strict public solemnity of the palace, it looks more beautiful and elegant, and far away from the control of the father and the queen mother, the prince felt more and more relaxed, and even regretted: "Why didn't I expect that when I arrived in the Yingyuan, who would care if I listened to music and drank." ”
Kong Jun couldn't cry or laugh, but still persuaded: "Your Highness, although the subordinates suggest that you be relaxed on the surface, you ...... You should also have a plan in your heart, Prince Qing is ambitious, if the matter of dancing can't be resolved......"
The prince waved his hand heavily: "With the third brother and the queen mother to worry about, they will be able to turn the danger into a disaster, and the fourth brother is the opponent." ”
Kong Jun opened his mouth, only to feel powerless: "If you can survive this catastrophe, Your Highness can no longer be wasted in government affairs." ”
The prince became more and more impatient: "Don't say that there is a father and the emperor at the moment, and it is not the turn of political affairs to point alone, even if you inherit the unification in the future, you are assisted by these virtuous ministers, the queen mother is in charge of the overall situation, and there is a third brother as an arm, why worry about everything, as long as you do meritocracy, you can ensure the peace of the country and the people." ”
turned around and hugged a beautiful palace maid, and called for a banquet: "When the wind and the sun are beautiful, the willows are green, and the flowers are red, so I set up the wine banquet in the pavilion on the pond and call a few music girls to come...... By the way, didn't you say that you invited the Fame Club? Go and ask what day the singing hall will be, Shan Yinglian's name can make Lone like thunder, I heard that his appearance is more beautiful than a woman, and Lone must see it with his own eyes. ”
Kong Jun slandered again: I discussed with Huang Tao to invite the reputation to sing in the hall, the original intention was nothing more than to make a joke, so that the saint thought that the prince did not care about the dance case, he was innocent, and dared to love the prince This is really worrying about people? If it is an ordinary aristocracy, it is not a big deal to pursue a trick, but the prince is the prince, how can he waste his mind on these, his father thought that the prince was weak and weak, and it would be beneficial to the Confucian family in the future, but to this extent, it is too much, and then let the prince be so wasted, can he really inherit the unification as he wishes?
Kong Jun was uneasy, and then discussed with Huang Tao and proposed that the matter of the singing hall should be cautious.
Where did Huang Tao allow Kong Jun to regret and prevent the assassination from happening, how could he make meritorious contributions, how could he completely eliminate the three princes? It is necessary to ensure that the reputation of these assassins entered the other palace smoothly, and said with a smile: "My lord is a little worried, just singing a church meeting, even if the prince likes that Shan Yinglian, there is no reason to leave an outside troupe in the other palace for a long time, and after this period, the prince returned to the East Palace, and he has no chance to make friends with the outside actors, what kind of heart the prince is is is not clear, and as time goes by, he will leave people behind." ”
Kong Jun thinks about it, and the matter of the reputation meeting has already made the prince worry about it, and if he stops it at this time, the prince is not happy, and the master is guilty, if he wants to invite him in person, it will be even more ridiculous.
Kong Taibao didn't pay attention to the shadow in Huang Tao's eyes at all.
A few days later, more than ten people from the Fame Club entered the Western Suburbs Palace in such a grand manner, of course, they had to go through the search and inspection of the palace guards, focusing on the lines brought into the troupe, such as wearing props, because of martial arts, it was inevitable that there would be long swords and iron guns, but the palace guards saw that the sword was not sharpened, and the gun head was also a wooden brush of silver paint, which could not hurt people, so they did not intercept the flow.
All the actors have also been searched to make sure that there are no sharp weapons hidden on their bodies.
In the last day, the actors were introduced into the Tingli Pavilion, set up the stage, prepared for rehearsals, and were guarded by palace guards to prevent them from coming and going at will.
In a secluded place, "Poppy" Shan Yinglian, under the cover of her good partner "Chu Overlord", took off her boots, and actually disassembled the soles of her boots and took out something from them - a thin piece of cold blade emerged from the cloth belt.
A wooden dagger suddenly split into two in Shan Yinglian's hand, and it turned out that the blade could be pulled out of the hilt.
Inserting the thin blade into the handle of the knife, and then tightly wrapping the interface with the yarn, Shan Yinglian inserted the temporarily assembled sharp weapon into the boot, raised his eyes and smiled at the overlord of Chu, just like a ripple in the autumn, very beautiful: "If I can get close to the prince, I will be able to kill him." ”
"Don't act rashly, that person said that there will be internal responses, and when the changes are made, they will attack the pro-soldiers, so let's grab the long sword in our hands, don't be patient, don't startle the snake." Chu Bawang said in a deep voice.
An assassination was imminent, but the prince was still hungover, and outside the dormitory where he was temporarily staying, Wei and Zhuo, who followed him, were facing each other angrily.
Concubine Zhuo's brutality has long been "cultivated" by the abolished princess Zhen, it is difficult to change, and she has never been liked by the prince, Concubine Wei has lost her grace since she was "corrected", even if she gave birth to a little princess, she didn't get much love from the prince, in fact, the two concubines are alone in the empty space for a lot of time, but they are often jealous, no, today is a narrow road encounter, although the prince's side of the inner servant sticks to the mission and rejects both of them, there is still a dispute.
After arguing and shouting for a while, they still didn't wake the prince from his hangover to uphold justice, and then with the bitter persuasion of several chamberlains, the wives and concubines finally felt bored, and left with a cold snort one after another.
Danli, the palace maid on the side, breathed a sigh of relief, and then lifted the lotus step lightly and stepped into the prince's bedroom.
On the bed, the man was already half-sitting up, rubbing the pain in his brows.
"Your Highness, the slave maid will call people in and wait for you to get up." Danli stepped forward to bless her body, but before she could get up, she was grabbed by the prince's arm: "Don't worry." ”
As soon as the palm of his hand slipped and his arm was closed, Danli lost his balance and was pulled into the prince's arms.
But he didn't make love any further, and the prince asked slightly lonely: "There is still no reply from the Rehe Palace?" ”
Seeing people shaking their heads, the prince let out a long sigh, half-closed a pair of single phoenix eyes, and looked very depressed: "Ah Lian must be complaining about me." ”
"Your Royal Highness, the crown princess is also worried that the letters are coming and going too often, but they have revealed traces...... His Royal Highness cares for Niangniang everywhere, although Niangniang is forbidden to go to the palace, His Royal Highness bothered to take care of it, and those servants dare not slack off, Niangniang will definitely be grateful for His Highness's kindness. When Danli spoke, her eyes were slightly red.
"Ah Lian was forbidden to enter the palace, and there was not a single cronie around her, and most of the few who entered the palace from her private residence were executed...... Even Biho ...... She must have been victimized by a matchmaker, Lone would never believe that Concubine Zhuo's miscarriage was her hand, Ah Lian said no, Lone believed it. ”
Danli's tears slid down: "The slave maid has only one wish, that is, to wait for the princess to come back from the other palace one day, and the slave and maid can still serve the princess." ”
"There will come a time." The prince screamed.
Danli was full of gratitude, but struggled to stand up: "The slave maid still serves His Highness to freshen up, has His Highness forgotten to invite the church today?" ”
Only then did the prince remember this thing: "Lone just heard the noise outside, but those two women who don't know what to call it?" Don't let them go with them to listen to the oriole hall, lest you spoil the fun. ”
With Wei and Zhuo two jealous women present, the prince can't let go of his hands and feet to "share happiness" with the beauties, and today there is the famous Shan Yinglian, who is very easy to get close to the famous characters, and the prince doesn't want to listen to the two concubines.
With the crown prince's order, the "breakfast" was placed in the Tingli Pavilion, and he was to share it with the members of the Fame Society, and after he left, the dormitory was restored to quiet.
Danli turned around the corridor, where there was a gray-clothed waiter on duty.
"Skylark beware of himself today, don't be involved in a later accident." The chamberlain said in a deep voice: "Your family has arrived in Xiliang safely, and they will be rich and noble from now on, and they will no longer be slaves." ”
Danli exhaled a long breath: "Your Highness, he ......"
"Don't gossip, wait for the call, and when the time comes, I will naturally explain how you will act." The waiter's tone was even more gloomy: "After doing this, you can be considered relieved, but in case there is a mistake, your parents and brothers ......"
"The servant will never dare to affect His Highness." Danli said immediately.
The chamberlain smiled lightly and said no more.
