94, gold and jade strike (1)
Tuoba Yao's eyes widened, Yu Cheng took out an arrow from the small quiver he carried, unhurriedly put it on the string, and shot out with a "whoosh" through the buns of the five girls in turn, just shooting through the animal bone hairpins on the top of their heads. This arrow needs to be matched with just the right amount of strength and direction.
"Your Royal Highness Princess," Yu Cheng's hand pulling the bow slowly lowered, "These girls are all the daughters of the leaders of the Rouran tribes. This arrow not only requires the shooter to have a steady hand, but also requires these girls to be bold enough. If one of them shivered with fear and dodged, the arrow would not have penetrated the five. ”
Tuoba Yao only understood his intentions at this time, with her own archery skills, she might not be able to do it if she was clever with her strength, but for a while, where did she go to find five Dawei girls who were bold enough? She raised her small bow as if to test the use of the bowstring, and grinned as she aimed the arrow at a string of animal bones adorned with the garment belt.
"Six princesses!" Feng Miao saw her intentions and shouted from afar. When the Rouran envoy spoke just now, although he pointed his finger at Yu Cheng, his eyes did not dare to look at him, obviously this person was either rich or expensive in Rouran. If Tuoba Yao fired arrows at him, even if it only hit the ornaments he was wearing, it was likely to cause a battle between Rouran and Great Wei.
As soon as she shouted like this, Tuoba Yao's hand pulling the bow loosened, and the eyes in the hall turned to Feng Miao. Feng Miao had no choice but to stand up and say to Honeysuckle, who was standing aside, "Go and get a Susha Palace lamp." ”
After a while, the palace lamp was delivered to her, and in the middle of the plain white silk yarn, a bean candle jumped. Feng Miao stepped forward with the Susha Palace Lantern and said to Tuoba Yao, "I dance with the palace lantern, can the princess extinguish the lantern with one arrow?" Tuoba Yao understood what she meant, nodded and replied, "Naturally, I don't know if this can be regarded as my win?" She turned her head and smiled at Yu Cheng defiantly, "Do I win?" ”
"It is more difficult to shoot the dancing palace lamp than to shoot the person who is standing still, if the princess can do it, she will naturally win." Yu Cheng readily agreed.
Feng Miao carried the plain yarn palace lamp and stood up. Gao Zhaorong sat on the seat, suddenly covered his mouth and said with a smile, "I'll sing music for my sister." She cleared her throat and didn't use musical instruments, so she sang a tactful and beautiful Xizhou song, "Picking lotus in Nantang autumn, lotus flowers are over people's heads." Bow your head and get lotus seeds, the lotus seeds are as clear as water. ”
With the tune, Feng Miao's arms stretched, and the lotus steps moved lightly, like a fisherman's lotus girl, shuttling between the lotus leaves in the sky. Tuoba Yao took an arrow and chased the Susha Palace Lantern to aim, and the bowstring was gradually pulled to the fullest.
Just as the hand pulling the string was about to let go, Tuoba Hong had already gotten up at some point, stood behind her, and suppressed her bowstring, which was as open as a full moon, "I shoot this arrow with the sixth sister." ”
Tuoba Yao's left hand was still on the yew bow, but the bowstring was pulled by Tuoba Hong, he leaned over to aim, and the arrow cluster chased the Susha Palace Lantern in Feng Miao's hand, and when she raised her arm, her fingers loosened. The cluster of arrows flew straight out, piercing through the palace lamp into the wooden case behind Feng Miao, and the light flickered a few times before finally going out.
Feng Miao's movements stopped with the soft sound of shooting through the plain gauze lampshade. She looked up to look the other side, only to see that Tuoba Hong had paced back to the throne, leaving Tuoba Yao in place, smiling at her.
"Your Majesty and the princess are good at archery, and they are admired." The man was also very happy, and when he saw them shot, he turned around and walked back to stand behind the Rouran envoy, no longer speaking, but his eyes kept following Tuoba Yao back to his seat.
The Empress Dowager sat on the other side of the hall, watching this scene quietly, and said to herself as if to Aunt Cui, "Miao'er, this child, is in love with Yao'er." ”
The situation just now was pressing, Feng Miao barely danced, and felt unbearable pain in her waist, almost unable to sit still. The banquet etiquette is cumbersome, and at the end, it is almost the unitary time. Feng Miao waited until everyone else was gone, so she called Honeysuckle to come over and help her. At the entrance of the Taiji Palace, there were several steps that went up and then down, and Feng Miao raised his feet, but he couldn't step through. was anxious and annoyed, his body was light, and the whole person was picked up.
Tuoba Hong carried her all the way, walked through the courtyard, and walked towards the Huayin Palace, the leaves swirling down, brushing her arms, and breathing with a little laziness of a summer evening. No one spoke, and when the evening wind blew, the satin clothes stuck to their bodies, and they were slightly cold. The place where the man was holding was a little hot.
In the main hall of Huayin Palace, Ruyi with two palace maids was busy in front of the bed where Feng Miao usually slept on, and when she saw them come in, Ruyi obediently blessed her body and said, "Your Majesty, it has been prepared." ”
Feng Miao's eyes widened, and she looked around with questions, but she couldn't see anything. The palace maid lowered her head and pulled up the bed curtain with a golden hook, and Tuoba Hong stepped on the woven carpet beside the bed and put her on it, this time with a light gesture.
The touch under him is very strange, the bed is very hard, and the soft cotton mattress that was originally laid out has all been removed and replaced with a layer of grass and non-grass, with a sweet aroma. Through the light clothes, I was scratched on my back by the layer of slightly hard "grass", and it was slightly itchy.
"It's smoked wormwood, specially smoked with an extra layer of rosin to remove the miscellaneous smell," Tuoba Hong said softly with his thumb in a circle on the back of her hand, "just lie down here and sleep on it at night, and quickly take care of your waist." ”
Feng Miao gently withdrew her hand, her voice so small that she could barely hear it, "It's already much better......
"Okay, too," Tuoba Hong grabbed the palm of her hand that wanted to escape, "a hard-tempered person deserves to sleep on such a hard bed." Seeing that she closed her mouth honestly, she said with satisfaction, "There is still some wormwood, tell your palace maid to heat it up a little every night, wrap it around your waist, and don't leave the root of the disease." ”
He lowered his head, stretched out his hand to cut her loose strands of hair behind her ears, and suddenly leaned over her eyes and pecked them quickly, and said with a playful smile, "Your eyes are beautiful, like two pieces of a full moon." The two crescents of the moon just stared at him so silently.
When she lifted the Susha Palace lamp, she also looked at people silently like this, and everyone wanted to drown in the eyes like a deep pool. He could have avoided shooting that arrow himself, but he was suddenly afraid, afraid that Tuoba Yao would not have the right head in his hand and accidentally hurt her, so he had to control it himself without fail.
The rude behavior of the Rouran envoy caused an uproar like a pebble thrown into the heart of the lake, in the middle of the Tuoba royal family. The princes of the clan wrote to the empress dowager and the emperor one after another, asking for troops to be sent to fight against Rouran. In fact, since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the border war with Rouran has never stopped. Rouran was a nomadic people, and when the water and grass withered yellow, they migrated south, making a living by raiding the towns on the border of the Great Wei. When the grassland was fertile and the cattle and sheep were flocked, they sent envoys to pay tribute to the Great Wei, which was very inlong-lasting.
Tuoba Hong threw Ren Chengwang's recital on the table, and said to Tuoba Xian with a smile, "Even Uncle Ren Chengwang advocates sending troops, and it is the first time I have seen the opinions of the clan relatives so unanimous. He remembered something and suddenly asked, "There was an assassin in the palace that year, and I privately ordered you to intercept it, what happened?" ”
Tuoba bowed to the emperor, with a faint shame on his face, "The younger brother was originally sending someone to catch him, so he was in the palace of the younger brother, but that person was very cunning and was rescued. ”
Tuoba Hong tapped his fingers on the white porcelain tea cup, smiled and said, "It's not that person who is cunning, with the strength of the whole clan, it is not surprising that he can retreat with you alone." Forget about it, but you have to check the people in the mansion to see if there is any information about Rouran, and get rid of it as soon as possible to avoid future troubles. ”
Seeing that Tuoba was confused, Tuoba Hong added with a smile, "If I remember correctly, before the arrival of Luo Buzhen Khan, his name was Yu Jiulu Shi Yucheng, he was caught by mistake when he came last time, and he dared to change his identity to come, but he was a little bold." ”
"As for the war," Tuoba Hong thought for a moment, his fingers snapped, and he made a crisp sound on the teacup, "I still want to hear the opinions of the two people. ”
In the Chang'an Palace, Feng Miao was pouring the medicine into the jade bowl. Lin Lang has been pregnant for more than six months, and she has passed the time when she is prone to slippery tires. But Feng Miao gradually began to worry about another thing, after seven months, if the maintenance is not careful, the child is easy to be born prematurely. Because of the crown ceremony, her pregnancy was deliberately delayed by more than two months, even if she was born at full-term, she still had to be said to be born prematurely. If it is really a premature birth, the crime of seducing the king to be immoral is inevitable.
She took care of it very carefully, and asked the doctor to match the decoction with the old lady, checked it herself, and then personally fried it and gave it to Lin Lang.
Lin Lang took the jade bowl, took a sip and frowned, put the medicine on the small pear wood case in front of him, looked at Feng Miao and asked, "On the day of the palace banquet, why take such a risk?" When the sixth princess drew her bow and arrow, it really scared me to death. ”
Feng Miao slowly stirred the medicine in the jade bowl with a silver spoon, "This competition must be won, but it can't be won, so Rouran has no face." If my guess is correct, the retinue of the arrows is the most honorable person in the ranks of the Rouran envoys. The tribute is just an excuse, and the gifts they send are not sincere at all. The real purpose should be to investigate the strength of Great Wei. ”
"They provoked in every way, first, to see if Great Wei would be afraid, and secondly, to push the notoriety of waging war to Great Wei." Feng Miao raised her face and asked with a smile, "Sister Lin, why are you suddenly interested in these things?" ”
Lin Lang was a little unnatural, "Where am I interested, but I heard that the princes of the clan have asked the emperor for war, and I am a little worried." ”
"I know what my sister is worried about," Feng Miao said with a playful smile as she put her hand on her stomach. "My sister is worried that if the emperor wants to recruit in person, he will come and go, and when the child is born, the emperor will not be able to accompany him. I also have to worry about whether the emperor eats well, sleeps well, and cares about whether the people who take care of him are careful or not in the barracks......"
Before she finished speaking, Lin Lang reached out and twisted her face, "More and more can talk nonsense, see if I don't sew your mouth." Feng Miao hid backwards and lay down on the long plush brocade carpet, begging for mercy in her mouth, "Sister, don't worry, the emperor will not recruit in person." ”
Lin Lang withdrew his hand with a little surprise, and before he could ask, Tuoba Yao walked in and asked first, "Why won't the imperial brother be in person?" In the past, the ancestors and emperors of the Great Wei Dynasty had conquered Rouran, and we were not afraid of them. ”
