Chapter 351: Yao Que Meets
Qionglin Garden is the royal palace of the Great Song Dynasty, located in the west of Bianjing City.
A rockery that rises from the ground is dozens of zhang high, and there are pavilions and pavilions built on the mountain, and the Yansu carved beams. At the foot of the mountain, there is a paved Jinshi road, a pond with weeping willows, and lush flowers and trees. There are gardens and mountains in the mountains, which are extremely spectacular and handsome.
The banquet held by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty was luxurious and beautiful.
Laying fragrant fruits, carving nectar and frying, all kinds of new melons and fruits, as well as the faint fragrance of incense. The staple food has not been served, just sitting for a while, and it has allowed all countries to make them feel the peak of the national power of the Great Song Dynasty and the prosperity of their products in their respective small flower halls.
The incense in the flower hall is intoxicating.
Xin Yi sat with bated breath, and he had heard a lot of Fu Jiuqu's things in his ears.
He plotted to dismiss the prime minister and harm Pang to be released from Yunzhou, and he strongly supported Di Qing to take the throne, making Zhang Xun fall out of favor.
He personally selected beautiful women and sent them to the palace to become the favorite concubines of the official family.
He lived extravagantly, sold his land and squandered all the money in the house.
He holds the handle of the minister of the DPRK and the central government, and frequently makes black hands.
He didn't know the warmth and coldness of people, but he carefully raised the three children of Zhang Xun's family......
He seemed to be omnipotent, and he seemed to have no desires or desiresβ
"This weirdo, no one knows what he wants."
Gao Minglou's voice was low and shallow, telling Xin Yi about Fu Jiuqu's affairs.
Glancing at Xin Yi's pale little face again, he looked at her with a complicated gaze, and said gently: "So, this person has to guard against him and stay away from him...... Got it? β
Xin Yi nodded quietly.
"Good." Gao Minglou glanced at her again, "If you can help me tide over the difficulties, it won't be in vain that I desperately saved your life......
Xin Yi lowered his eyes, "I understand......"
"Shhhh Gao Minglou lowered his head, approached as if intimacy, and looked at her timid appearance, "In order to prevent you from making a mistake in speaking, I will tell them that you fell into the water last night and broke your throat, and you can't speak today." β
Xin Yi's shoulders stiffened slightly, and he didn't move.
"Blind and dumb? I'm afraid I'm not pretending to be. β
"You can do it, Ayima." Gao Minglou's dark eyes swept half-brightly and half-darkly across her pale little face, exuding a touch of indifferent and treacherous light, as if excited, curious, a kind of beastly nature that was suddenly stimulated, and he couldn't wait to see what Fu Jiuqu looked like when he saw her......
"You do as I tell you, and when you return to Dali, I will find someone to cure your eyes, and I will give you the honor that others don't have...... At that time, you will be the most noble woman in Dali. β
Xin Yi still lowered his eyes and sat stiffly, his fingers clenched slightly, as if he was afraid.
This appearance made Gao Minglou sigh secretly.
She's good at everything, it's just ...... It's a little too cowardly.
But where does a blind man who can't see come from his strength and bravery?
With her face, that's enough.
Xin Yi was silent for a moment, and suddenly a singing promise came from outside.
"The official has arrived! Xuan - Envoys from various countries went to the Yaoque Hall for dinner! β
Yaoque is Sendai, built on the peak of dozens of zhang high, you can pick up the stars in your hand, and it is the largest temple in Qionglin Garden.
Xin Yi followed behind Gao Minglou, supported by the girl Hongdou, bowed her head slightly, and walked slowly, looking weak, but her ears and eyes were not idle.........
The heart is also pounding.
As soon as he entered the temple, he saw the person he wanted to see.
Dressed in civilian clothes, she was a little far away from her, and she couldn't see her face clearly, as if she glanced at her lightly, but she didn't seem to see her, until she followed Gao Minglou and saluted Zhao Zhen, and the person snorted in a low voice.
It seems to be disdainful, more like mockery.
The familiar voice brushed the eardrums, bringing layers of ripples, and Xin Yi subconsciously turned his head to look.
Fu Jiuqu didn't look at her, a guard was whispering something in his ear.
Therefore, that mockery seemed to be not to her, let alone to Gao Minglou, but he suddenly heard something funny............
Gao Minglou saluted with Xin Yi, and when he turned to sit down, he passed by Fu Jiuqu's seat, paused, bowed slightly to him, and smiled politely and politely.
"The horse that was given to the king of the county, I wonder if the king of the county likes it?"
Fu Jiuqu looked at him, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, "That horse is too picky to eat forage, and I can't afford to raise it in my house." Someone has been sent back to the post house this morning. β
Gao Minglou obviously hadn't received the news yet, he was slightly stunned, his eyes swept deeply at the guards behind Fu Jiuqu, and he smiled and saluted.
"It's a lack of consideration, and next time I will pick another horse to feed."
Fu Jiuqu returned the salute, "You're welcome, the king of Dongchuan County, please sit down." β
Gao Minglou glanced at Xin Yi sideways, saw that her face was full of blankness, and she looked dazed and ignorant, and then looked at Fu Jiuqu, who had already turned her head to talk to Cai Xiaohouye, and it seemed that she didn't look at the little lady beside him who looked like Xinyi in her eyes at all.
But
The air in the hall was unusually cold.
From Zhao Zhen in the first place to the attendants in the palace, everyone who knew Xin Yi expressed surprise at this similar face without exception.
Zhang Xun's pupils shrank.
Zhou Yiliu's heart was pounding.
The eldest princess stared at her in amazement, unable to turn her eyes......
The entire Yaoque Hall seems to be breathing less.
No one knows who this woman is from Gao Minglou or where he found it, but she is too similar to Xin Yi.
However, Fu Jiuqu turned a deaf ear and didn't seem to know him at all.
As for the "blind and dumb" Xin Yi, he knew nothing, standing calmly, like a piece of wood.
After a long time, Xin Yi slowly raised his hand in the strange silence and groped to the front, looking panicked.........
"Be careful!" Gao Minglou squeezed her arm tightly, and his hanging heart finally let go.
No one spoke in the hall for a long time, and even breathing so lightly that in the world of the blind would be very frightened. She didn't look like she was lying......
She really didn't remember anything.
As for Fu Jiuqu.........
Is the city deep enough, or is it really not caring anymore?
Gao Minglou couldn't understand this king of Guangling County.
However, he was quite satisfied with the reaction of these people in the Yaoque Palace, holding Xin Yi's trembling arm, he immediately lowered his face and trained the girl to be a red bean.
"What are you doing? Don't help Ayima into the table? Abrupt a group of nobles, I want you to look good! β
Hongdou turned white in fright, lowered his head, and hurriedly helped Xin Yi to take a seat. β¦
Gao Minglou put on a smiling face, arched his hand and saluted the seat, and said:
"Let the official family laugh, I, a maid, came from a small place, and when I saw the majesty of the official family, I was at a loss. Forgive me! β
Zhao Zhen's gaze swept over Xin Yi's face, suppressed his inquiring thoughts, and said politely:
"King Dongchuan, please take a seat."
"Thank you!"
The guests and hosts exchanged pleasantries, and the voice of the inner supervisor came from outside the door.
"Pass the meal!"
The banquet officially began at this time, with twelve large dishes, eight small dishes, and a few interpolated dishes successively introduced into the Yaoque Hall by the glamorous palace maids.
Delicacies, pushing cups and changing lamps, should be the Yaotai in the world.
Xin Yi sat quietly. The red beans are the dishes for her, and she eats them slowly with chopsticks, and more often, she is just quiet, not moving, silent, like an ornament.
In fact, Gao Minglou's purpose in bringing her here was to let her make a decoration.
In the laughter, there is an undercurrent.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Yiliu suddenly turned his face sideways and said to Zhao Zhen: "Official, the concubine looks at the little lady beside the king of Dongchuan County, and she is a little kind...... Like an old man. β
Her sincerity is heard, and her voice is crisp and smiling.
Zhao Zhen looked at her deeply, "Really?" I didn't notice it. β
Zhou Yiliu glanced at Xin Yi, and saw her sitting stupidly, without any reaction, a cluster of fire light crossed her eyes, but her face was a little more gentle than Fang Cai.
"Dare to ask the king of Dongchuan County, this lady is Ling Zheng (wife)?"
Gao Minglou didn't expect that the first to light the fire would be the soft and weak favorite concubine beside Zhao Zhen.
He paused and smiled slightly, "Dare to ask what the lady is called?" β
Zhou Yiliu's face changed.
She is Zhao Zhen's concubine and has no honorific title.
She was pregnant with Zhao Zhen's child, but not his wife.
Gao Minglou came to ask her directly, which seemed polite, but he was actually laughing at her - which of you want you to ask me?
Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhou Yiliu's faded face, frowned slightly, and said, "Harem woman, don't talk a lot!" β
Zhou Yiliu hung her head aggrievedly.
Gao Minglou smiled when he saw this, "It turned out to be the lady of the official family, and she was abrupt." β
When he said this, he looked at Xin Yi with uninterested, "This is the sister, Ayima." She hurt her eyes two years ago and is not very able to read. This time I came to Bianjing with me, and I accidentally fell into the water in Jinzhuang and broke my throat...... Let everyone laugh. β
He spoke decently and calmly, as if Xin Yi really was his sister.
Not to mention that Xinyi has changed a lot from more than a year ago, even if it is exactly the same, who can recognize his relatives according to his head? Do you have to say that the sister of the king of Dongchuan County is Zhang Xiaoniang?
"Huh!"
A sneer broke the politeness of each child.
Everyone followed the prestige, but saw Fu Jiuqu holding the cup and examining Xin Yi slowly.
"As far as I know, the king of Dongchuan County has no sister."
Everyone took a small breath.
Fu Jiuqu became more and more comfortable, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked.
"I don't know where this beautiful sister was picked up by the king of Dongchuan County?"
Xin Yi listened to Fu Jiuqu's scornful voice and lowered his head deeply.
Gao Minglou glanced at her and chuckled, "It's not a secret, Ayima is indeed a half-sister, who kept filial piety for her mother in her early years, and has been cultivating in the temple with Emperor Duan, living in a simple place, so few people know ......about it."
Fu Jiuqu nodded quietly and suddenly smiled.
Looking at Xin Yi again, elegant and cold.
"I don't know if Sister Ling has a marriage match? How about marrying me? β
