Chapter 155: Provocation
The huge palace is full of singing and brilliant lights.
Jiang Huaiyang didn't even care about the ministers and envoys of the palace under Taiji, stretched out his long arms and took the people to his laps.
Ruan Yuyi moved uneasily, and sure enough, there was a warning in her ears, so she had to turn her face away and not look at the people below. It's that the bottom of her eyes is so red that she doesn't look like it, and she still remembers, "The concubine has been sitting still, and she hasn't hooked people." ”
"Yes, you don't." His hand around her waist tightened.
It's just that people don't know it. I knew I should have let her dress more plainly.
He pulled the hood of the cloak and brought it to the little lady. The cloak was so wide that it almost held the little lady inside. Her eyes suddenly darkened, and she wondered, "Your Majesty? ”
She touched the brim of her hat and tried to take it off.
"Wearing it." He commanded in a deep voice.
She was silent and leaned into him. Her snort was filled with the familiar fragrance, her hood limited her gaze, and in the small light, there were only his broad shoulders and slender neck.
More than half of the palace banquet, singing and dancing are temporarily resting. The envoys of the subject countries presented gifts to the Emperor.
Ruan Yuyi was ashamed to turn around, so she simply buried her head in his shoulder and neck, listening to the movement in her ears.
What can be taken to the front of the palace is nothing more than some rare treasures, no different from previous years, and it is still fresh at first sight, but this year, I can't take out more flowers. The only difference is that the emperor sitting at the top has changed.
When the envoy saw the banquet in the palace of the new emperor, he did not leave the concubine in his arms, but he was a person of heavy desire, so he looked clear and said, "The villain knows ordinary treasures, and His Majesty has no shortage of them. Therefore, this time of the audience, the villain brought something to ensure that His Majesty was happy. ”
After that, he applauded twice, and a woman in a beautiful dress stepped in outside the door.
She seemed to be unafraid of the cold, wearing only a woven gold gauze on her body, and when she walked, the gold chains on her body swayed. She wore a veil and showed only a pair of deep eyes.
She saluted and smiled smartly, "I've seen Your Majesty." "Dressed in kitsch and beautiful beauty.
Listening to this non-standard Wu language, Ruan Yuyi knew that the envoy was offering a woman. She turned her face sideways and lifted her hood a little to look at it.
There are two seats side by side at the bottom, all kinds of silk brocade clothes, gold bottles and jade cups, all under the feet. Her heart tightened, was this what he saw?
When she saw that exotic beauty, she couldn't feel a wave in her heart, but she felt a little cold and panicked.
Jiang Huaiyang attached to her ear, lowered his voice, and only allowed the two of them to hear, "Such a beauty, do you think I should stay or not?" ”
She listened to what the Queen Mother said, and felt that more concubines could share some of His Majesty's mental strength from her, so as not to suffer from the clouds and rain alone.
Because he said, "If Your Majesty likes it, stay it." She spoke softly, without the meaning of half-heartedness.
His eyes darkened, and he leaned under her cloak, "How can I get there?" Covered by a wide cloak, in the darkness where no one could see, he lifted her complicated skirt and toyed with the soft flesh of her legs.
As if to remind her that she replied, he didn't like it.
She was tempted to tremble, grabbed the placket of his clothes, and tried to make her voice sound like usual, "Although they are only subordinate to our court, they must also be lenient and gentle, if Your Majesty refuses, I am afraid it will be inappropriate." ”
He froze, and used a little strength in his hands.
It's really a long skill, but I can reason with him.
A soft snort escaped her lips, and she glanced down her eyes, but luckily no one noticed the strange appearance. She bit her lip tightly and suppressed all her gasps.
The exotic beauty below didn't hear the new emperor's voice for a long time, and raised her eyes uneasily, but she only dared to glance at his forging boots.
"The Four Emperor Brothers' Mansion is not prosperous, so why don't you bring this beauty back." With a fluttering word, he decided her fate.
Her heart sank. She came to Dawu to be a mother, but not to be a concubine for any prince. Seeing that King Jing, who got up to reply, did not look as good as the new emperor, he was even more reluctant in his heart.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." King Jing calmly responded. There was a slight unhappiness in my heart.
He also knew that the new emperor didn't look down on him, and it was not good to save the envoy's face, so he stuffed it to him.
However, there are scattered heirs in King Jing's mansion, not only is he far away in the fief all the year round, but also because the guests at home are jealous, he can't tolerate too many beautiful concubines, and this exotic beauty enters the palace, I'm afraid it won't be long better.
But he didn't care. Even if this beauty is tossed by the princess one day, his freshness should have passed a long time ago.
Jiang Qi looked the exotic beauty up and down, stared at the beauty with a crimson face, and turned to watch King Jing's face change several times with a smile, and shook the wine in his hand into ripples.
Seeing that the matter was done, the envoy also bowed down and withdrew.
Jiang Huaiyang and Ruan Yuyi bit their ears and said, "If my Ling Ling is really so tolerant and righteous, it is better to look at the beauty picture for me later, and choose a full palace of one or twenty people." ”
He sneered and pinched her slender wrist, as if complimenting and threatening.
She felt that she had said the wrong thing, and lowered her eyes to climb up to his neck, softly admitting her mistake.
But what I thought was - it was okay.
After two or three envoys entered the salute, they did not see the shadow of the Khitan envoys. The guards sent to the post station to investigate the situation approached and whispered a few words.
Jiang Huaiyang sneered, "Sleepy? I saw that they were greedy for the grand scenery of Dawu, and pondered that they wanted to sleep here. ”
The guard didn't dare to make a sound, obviously Jiang Huaiyang said it lightly, but he only felt a chill all over his body. Seeing that the new emperor signaled him to retreat, as if he had been granted amnesty, he hurriedly lowered his hands and staggered and almost fell.
Noticing that the new emperor's face was pale, the dancers stopped, looked at each other, and didn't know whether to continue.
Wen Pheasant glanced at his expression and hurriedly ordered them to continue. So the long sleeves rose again, and the dancers moved more carefully, so as not to make the new emperor even more displeased.
Only Wen Pheasant understood what really made the new emperor angry.
The Khitan harassed and robbed the people on the border of Wu all the year round, and although there was no big war in recent years, small riots continued. Although this time it was under the banner of peace talks with the Wu Kingdom, the person who came was only one of the Khitan royal families.
In recent years, the Khitan royal family has been in chaos due to the seizure of the heir, not to mention that the branch that came this time may not necessarily represent the meaning of the entire Khitan in the future, and the attitude of this envoy is not sincere at all.
After about a cup of tea, the palace door was slammed open, interrupting the sound of silk and bamboo in the palace.
The person who came was a few rough men dressed as Hu people, and when they saw the new emperor, they only did their etiquette early, and laughed loudly, "I have heard that the big Wu is prosperous, and this is especially true in Beijing." These bamboo trees, mountains and stones, pavilions and railings are all what I don't have in Khitan.
"Yesterday, a few of us couldn't help but be greedy for the scene, so we got tired of playing, so that today we were not sleepy and missed the hour. I hope that the emperor is not strange. ”
He just said flattering words in his mouth, and the ambition in his eyes was also obvious. The tone of the scenery in the palace is like announcing that it will come soon.
Jiang Huaiyang was silent.
The atmosphere in the palace condensed for a while, and the whole audience held their breath, looking at their noses and noses.
