Chapter 297: The Man in the Painting
This is the first time that Shang Ruyi has left this palace of cultivation after coming to Jiangdu Palace.
As soon as she went out, she immediately felt an indescribable relief, Jiangnan is really Jiangnan, even if she hasn't seen any scenery, but the wind blowing in front of her is warm, with a fragrance of grass, which suddenly makes people feel a piece of heart.
And when she looked up, she saw the towering hall in front of her.
It is said that Jiangdu Palace is Chu Yang after the destruction of Chen, rebuilt on the site of the Chen Dynasty Palace, the momentum pattern is much larger than the previous one, for example, these days Shang Ruyi is almost closed, but can also see the scenery from the window, is the big hall.
The main hall is built on a high platform that is three zhang high, the palace itself is also more than a few zhang high, there are wide and can run the carriage of the sub-steps all around, looking at it from a distance, it gives people the feeling that they can climb into the clouds, and become immortals, and the palace may be a heavenly palace that is high above and beyond the reach of the world.
This is the projection of Chu Yang's mood and spirit left in the world.
He's such a pride, it's unbeatable.
However, although Jiangdu Palace has such a majestic main hall, it is also the south after all, and since it was built on the site of the Chen Dynasty Imperial Palace, it naturally retains some of the features of the old palace.
For example, now Gonggong Yu took her down a staircase, and after passing through two gates, she entered the inner palace.
It's a different story entirely.
The corridor of the inner palace, the aisle suddenly became narrow, the palace walls around it were not high, and the palace gate was built into different fan-shaped, moon-shaped, which seemed interesting and gave people a delicate and exquisite feeling; Especially after entering a garden, the bluestone pavement under your feet is moist and smooth, surrounded by grass and trees, and because of proper pruning, the whole road presents a sense of winding paths and secluded comfort.
Shang Ruyi felt as if he was in some kind of fairyland.
Since she woke up, her clothes and accessories have been taken care of by Chu Yang, and she is wearing some seemingly simple, but all the details are exquisite and extravagant, and the shoes on her feet are changed every day, making her whole person look elegant and elegant.
In addition, the surrounding flowers and trees are flourishing, and there is a milky white mist all around.
Walking in such a landscape, even Shang Ruyi himself felt as if he was the person in the painting.
However, just when she looked at the beautiful scenery around her and felt that she was in the Heavenly Palace, what she heard in her ears was a bloody killing.
Listening to the words of Father-in-law Yu, Shang Ruyi finally knew the current situation in Jiangdu.
Chu Yang led 400,000 horses to the south this time, of which more than 300,000 were troops, and the rest were in addition to thousands of officials and their families, attendants, palace maids and eunuchs, the most was the Praetorian Guard led by Wang Shaohe.
The problem lies with these Praetorian Guards.
Most of these people are nobles, and there are many brave and resolute people selected by Chu Yang from the army, they stay in the imperial city on weekdays, they are already superior, after coming to Jiangdu, they don't look down on the old palace guards here, just now the little eunuch came to report, that is, a few people from the Praetorian Guard went to the city restaurant to drink today, and they also met a team of people from the old palace guards there, and they quarreled with each other when they disagreed, and they didn't give in to each other, and now many people were called on both sides, causing a scuffle in the city, I heard that many people have been killed and wounded. β¦.
Shang Ruyi frowned: "How could there be such a thing? The kingβdoesn't the king care?"
"He?"
As soon as he heard Wang Shaohe's name, although Yugong always had a smile on his face during the fair day, at this time, he couldn't hide a little coldness.
He said, "If he had taken care of it, the Praetorian Guard would not have become what it is now."
Shang Ruyi heard some reasons and said, "So, isn't this the first time this kind of thing has happened?"
Gonggong Yu shook his head and said, "The Praetorian Guards and the guards of Jiangdu Palace have clashed several times in the palace, but because of His Majesty and officials at all levels, things have never made a big fuss, but when they leave the palace, they are not so obedient."
γβ¦β¦γ
"O these men are tyrannical in the city, and oppress the people, and those below are angry
I can't say it."
The more Shang Ruyi listened, the tighter his brows furrowed.
Of course, she knew that Wang Shao and this person were not good people in the first place, and when he was in the Eastern Capital, he had the title of a light and thin son, and his subordinates were even better than him. It's just that there are still some scruples in Luoyang City, but when they arrive in Jiangdu City, these people are rampant.
However, wouldn't this deepen the contradiction between the imperial court and the southerners?
If Chu Yang really wants to establish a foothold in Jiangdu, he must at least control his own people, if Wang Shaoji and his people are allowed to go on like this, I am afraid that Jiangdu will also follow in the footsteps of Luoyang.
Just when she was in a heavy mood, Father-in-law Yu took her through a small door in the shape of a chic treasure bottle, and suddenly opened up in front of her, it was a huge garden, a long corridor surrounded the whole garden, and in the center of the garden, there was a tree with an unknown name, the trunk was about one person high, the branches and leaves were flourishing, and it was stretched out like a canopy, and the emerald green leaves were dotted with dotted white jade flowers, and the branches were tied with ribbons of various colors, which fell down and flew in the wind, looking extremely gorgeous and dreamy.
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
She had never seen such an exquisite scene, and what shocked her even more was that under the tree, there was a huge carpet, covering almost the entire garden, and the person sitting on the carpet, with his back against the trunk of the tree, carrying a wine jug in his hand, was Chu Yang.
I saw that he was wearing a flawless white dress, his belt hung loosely between his crotch, his collar was wide open, and his long black hair was only tied up casually, draped behind his head, and on his shoulders, the wine overflowed from his mouth, flowed to his chest, and also drenched his long hair, but he didn't care, and even laughed with wine while swallowing wine.
In those slender phoenix eyes, the wine was full of wine and streamers.
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but stop.
Then, she saw Chu Yang throw away the wine jug, raise a long sword from his side, slowly draw the sword out of the sheath, the cold light swept over his eyes, he squinted his eyes slightly, staggered to his feet, flipped his wrist and pulled out a sword flower, and the wide-sleeved robe also flew away, the whole person was like a Luan phoenix flying in the air, elegant and dazzling, and there was a gorgeous arrogance that the world could not imagine.
While dancing with his sword, he slowly chanted:
The crane flies three thousand miles, and the spring flowers are still blooming,
The high stage shadow is messy, and the song wanders alone; β¦.
The flowing waves sent the moon and didn't pay it back, and Xiaoxiao fell into the stars with a smile......
At this moment, Shang Ruyi was almost suffocated.
She and Chu Yang have not known each other for a long time, not even a year, but in less than a year, they have experienced too much, so that now, whether she wants to or not, she is also under house arrest by his side, even if she is not his person, she is already extremely familiar with him.
However, even with such familiarity, she would still be amazed by his celestial appearance.
Just now, she felt as if she was the person in the painting, but now, seeing Chu Yang like this, she realized that this was the real person in the painting.
Perhaps, he is really a person who is favored by God and pampered to the extreme.
But how long can this kind of favor last?
Andβ
"Send the moon and don't pay it back", "Falling Star"...... Does he know how ominous these verses he sings are?!
Or, is he already feeling something?
Just when Shang Ruyi's heart was in turmoil for a while, Chu Yang had already seen them, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he staggered over and grabbed her wrist: "You're here."
γβ¦β¦οΌγ
Shang Ruyi struggled for a moment, unable to break free of his hand.
The father-in-law Yu on the side had already knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty, slave maid, slave maid has something important to report."
Chu Yang didn't seem to hear his voice at all, and only smiled at Shang Ruyi, "It seems that you have recovered. Are you okay? Are you already able to move freely?"
Shang Ruyi couldn't break free, but fortunately, there were not many people here, so he could only let him grab his wrist and whisper, "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern
γ The medicine that Your Majesty has sent these days is very effective, and Ruyi is no longer in serious trouble."
"That's good,"
Chu Yang's hand kept exerting force, as if he wanted to pull her into his arms, and he kept saying, "Come, you come here."
Shang Ruyi looked at him, and then at Father-in-law Yu, who was kneeling beside him and couldn't say anything, the latter was making a look at her - Shang Ruyi also understood his intention to come with him just now, thought about it, and was obediently pulled by Chu Yang to the center of the garden.
Chu Yang kicked away the several wine jugs that had been drunk just now, picked up one again, and handed it to her.
"Come, drink with me."
γβ¦β¦γ
Shang Ruyi's eyebrows frowned slightly, and in the face of such a drunk person, she still said very seriously, "Please forgive your majesty. Ruyi may move freely, but he can't drink alcohol yet."
"Can't you drink alcohol?"
These four words made Chu Yang's brows twist, and then he looked at Shang Ruyi, he suddenly smiled again, and threw the wine jug aside with his backhand: "Okay, if you don't drink it, you won't drink it."
He grabbed Shang Ruyi's hand and grasped the hilt of the sword in his hand.
Then he smiled and said, "Then, just dance the sword with me!"
"Iβ"
Shang Ruyi wanted to refuse, but before the words could be spoken, Chu Yang had already walked behind her in a flash, hugged her slender waist with one hand, buckled it into his arms, and then lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "The sword dance of two people, I am also the first time."
γβ¦β¦γ
"You have to cooperate with me, don't move."
Shang Ruyi did not move, because at this time, her heartbeat had made her no time to move anymore.
She had never been so close to any man except the man whose heart ached, her back resting almost entirely in his arms, her waist being restrained, one hand holding the hilt of her sword with him, and the two of them were dressed like twins.
She trembled and said, "Your Majesty ......."
