054. The Wind Rises
Zhenwangfu, as the king and grandson, is the pomp and circumstance of an ordinary dinner, and it is not comparable to the century-old famous families such as the Hua family and the Chu family.
It's just that on the table, although there are a lot of dishes, there are really few that can make Chu Xujun eat, and she only uses a few mouthfuls of the vegetarian dishes in the soup.
In the end, it is the palace, willing to put salt, and the salt is not the current bitter salt, but it is still a little better than the ordinary street.
The flower hall of the palace is intricately arranged, not like the concise atmosphere of red and black prevailing at present, here is mainly light color, apricot yellow, bright yellow, golden yellow intertwined, magnificent, people have a sense of dazzling.
With the sound of beautiful and passionate construction, a group of dancers in green clothes entered in order, singing and dancing, singing the simple and symmetrical ancient tune of the Book of Poetry: "The elite is in the middle of it." Seeing a gentleman, happy and deceitful......"
It is a small love poem of pleasure, which is very in line with the characteristics of Prince Zhen Zhao Zheng's indulgence in pleasure in his later years.
Looking at the original song and dance in front of him, Chu Xujun was also a little confused for a while.
In the last second, she was still kneeling in front of those in power, clearing her grievances.
In the next second, she became a guest of the people in power, singing and dancing here, drinking and feasting.
Chu Xujun wondered for a moment whether her simple desire to maintain a single life was not as easy as she imagined.
In troubled times, being treated as the meat of the chopping board, can she still nest in the Chu family and be alone?
The reason why she appeared here was just to make Wei Ling owe her a favor, so that she could gain a better foothold in the Chu family.
Who knows, the deeper the roll, the deeper.
And that's just the beginning.
The color of the wine on the table was far clearer than what Chu Xujun had seen before.
In the pre-Qin era, the wine-making technique was rough, and a bottle of sake was worth a thousand gold.
It can be seen that it is indeed a good wine, there is no soy milk at home outside, Chu Xujun has a few drops of wine, and the taste is really good.
It's a pity that in such a scene, she can't lose her sobriety.
Just like after the crossing from the beginning, she has been awake all the time.
On the high level is the position of Zhao Zheng, the prince of Zhen, who is so addicted to singing and dancing that he seems to have completely forgotten the purpose of the dinner.
The prince Zhao Xin was in a high position on the left, and Wei Ling and Chu Xujun's positions were several steps shorter, separated on both sides.
But after the prince Zhao Xin paid tribute to his father, he then stayed next to Wei Ling, talking non-stop.
"On weekdays in the camp, I wanted to have a few drinks with General Wei, but you refused. Today in the palace, we will not get drunk and will not return. ”
"Alcohol is not allowed in the camp, do you remember?"
Shizi glanced at his father: "Yes, yes, what I'm talking about is asking the general to go outside for a drink, a drink." ”
"Wei is not good at this, I'm afraid I want to disappoint the prince."
"It's okay if you don't drink, it's good to sit and talk like this, and watch singing and dancing."
"On weekdays, a certain patrol camp is busy, and he neglects the son."
"Hey, it's easy to say, I didn't mean that, general, don't misunderstand......"
The two tugged for a while, and Zhao Xin found an opportunity to whisper something to Wei Ling.
Wei Ling's expression changed.
Chu Xujun thought to herself, the prince didn't know that she was touching the tiger's buttocks, so she would wait to watch the show.
In the end, he is the little shrimp that has been affected, and these people in front of him are those big dishes.
Seeing that Wei Ling was no longer so high-end, and there was a crack in his frosty face, the prince returned to his position with satisfaction, and said to the high-ranking human: "Father, I heard that General Qianwei is catching some internal ghosts, and this Zhongzhou city guard has always been forbidden under the rule of my father. Now that such a traitor has appeared, I wonder if he has been punished? ”
Zhenwangfu was distracted from the song and dance to his son: "Xiao Ling is here in this matter, Xin'er, you just came back, take a good rest first, don't worry about this." ”
The prince Zhao Xin's expression became ugly when he heard this, and sure enough, his father still trusted Wei Ling more.
But he quickly cleaned up his mood and said with a smile: "Father, it's not that the child wants to intervene in this matter, but there are already some voices of discussion in the camp now. In the end, there is an internal ghost that affects the morale of the army, according to the child's intentions, it is better to complete this matter as soon as possible. ”
Lord Zhen clapped his hands, waved a few more times, and the dancers who twisted their waists and sang in a circle immediately stopped, and rushed out with the performance team on the right side of the flower hall.
The butler stopped serving the prince's meal, got up and took the rest of the servants with him.
Obviously, it is the meaning of the master's conversation and clearing the field.
Seeing this, Chu Xujun exchanged a look with Wei Ling, could she also slip away?
Wei Ling's eyes rolled: "The prince is discussing business, why don't I send the eldest lady of the Chu family back first." ”
Prince Zhen waved his hand: "It's okay, this king remembers, it seems that he also entrusted the blessing of the eldest lady at that time, let her listen, it doesn't matter." ”
Wei Ling's expression was even more ugly than Fang Cai's.
Prince Zhen seemed confused, and he knew better than anything else that he had never mentioned the matter of the little girl of the Chu family in the palace.
Looking at the appearance of Zhao Xin, the son of the world, today is also the first time to mention the inner ghost, and Prince Zhen learned about it through his own channels.
No wonder the premature birth of the fetus in the womb of the favored concubine Guo Meiren seems to have something to do with the eldest lady of the Chu family, and the prince Zhen doesn't seem to be too angry, and he doesn't think about what to do with Chu Xujun.
It was because he knew the inside story of the banditry in Montenegro in advance.
Prince Zhen Zhao Zheng had great kindness to Linlang Wei in his early years, and Wei Ling stayed in Zhongzhou when he grew up to do things for King Zhen's mansion.
In the early years, Prince Zhen was still clear and upright, and his temperament was a little hesitant and indecisive, but he would eventually listen to advice in the right thing and not blindly follow the situation.
Now that the prince is getting older, the curtains in the palace are becoming more and more unrepaired, and the eldest son of Zhao Xinyisheng, who favors the eldest son of Xinxin, can be seen in the matter of ghosts.
Wei Ling had a long-term plan, so he hit it off with his friend Zhu Qi.
People's hearts are not ancient, and it should be a simple matter, but once it is involved in the political situation, it will be a change.
Wei Ling was selfishly disgusted, but in the whirlpool of troubled times, he couldn't help himself.
But the eldest lady of the Chu family is beautiful, clean, and innocent...... He really shouldn't be implicated here.
Seeing that Wei Ling's face sank like water, the prince Zhao Xin suddenly knelt down and said, "Father, the child is guilty." The child actually heard that the ghost was related to the second brother, so he was so worried that he had to send it. In the final analysis, it's all because I, as an elder brother, can't be a brother and a brother, which made the second brother go astray......"
Prince Zhen, who was still listening to the music and dancing, turned to Wei Ling as if he had changed his face, as if he had changed someone: "Xiao Ling, is this matter really related to Ah Cheng?" ”
Wei Ling was not flustered: "The prince is good, and the subordinates learned that Lin Er was poisoned in prison, and the person behind him did reveal before he died was the second son, Zhao Cheng." The matter was urgent, and it had not yet been verified, so his subordinates did not report it in time, and asked the prince to forgive him. ”
Seeing that he was calm, Prince Zhen was still lenient towards Wei Ling: "You have always been cautious, what is the crime?" ”
Shizi interjected--said: "If you heard it right, the eldest lady of the Chu family is hiding in the West Third Pavilion, right?" It seems that General Wei is also the one who was found there? I boldly guessed, come to think of it, the second brother is no longer in the mansion at this time, right? ”
The green tendons on Prince Zhen's forehead burst out, and he gave an order: "Come here, pass on Ah Cheng." Just go!! ”
