Chapter 52: Sword Dance

"It's really anxious." Mo Yunxiao said: "King Jian took a fancy to me, why didn't you ask Yuru for me yesterday in Daxiangguo Temple?" ”

Mrs. Wei sneered and said, "What kind of system is this to please other people's maids for no reason!" Even the prince can't ignore this face. Don't worry, he's definitely going to come to you today, but he's missing a reason. ”

"Yuru." Mo Yunxiao suddenly stared at Mrs. Wei and said, "Could he not have taken a fancy to me?" ”

Mrs. Wei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "What? Could it be that you fancy him? ”

Mo Yunxiao's cheeks turned red, and he hurriedly said, "How can there be such a thing!" I'm afraid our plan will fail. ”

Mrs. Wei laughed and said, "Didn't you see his dejected look yesterday?" I'm afraid that he is a worried beauty all night, tossing and turning. ”

After she finished speaking, she laughed twice, but quickly lowered her smile and said quite seriously: "Helu, but when you are a sister, I want to warn you." This King Jane is a light man and a complete swinger, you must not entrust a heart to him, otherwise you will miss your life. ”

Mo Yunxiao saw that Mrs. Wei said solemnly, so she also nodded twice and said, "Yuru, you can rest assured, I entered King Jian's Mansion only to save people, and I have nothing else to ask for." ”

Mrs. Wei also nodded twice, but sighed sadly, and said, "God who has done evil has let you make such a big risk. Alas......"

Mo Yunxiao's heart was also filled with sourness, and she was about to persuade Mrs. Wei a few words, when she suddenly saw Menzi running quickly and said, "Madam, Miss Mo, His Royal Highness King Jian has arrived." ”

The two looked at each other, and both of them were happy. "Look, what I'm talking about."

Mrs. Wei said to Mo Yunxiao quite smugly, then turned her head to Menzi and said, "Go and please." ”

Menzi left in response, and Mrs. Wei also walked towards the gate under the protection of a handmaid. As the door slowly opened, King Jian and his party slowly came in, just in time to meet Mrs. Wei.

Today's Zhao is like an ordinary swallow suit, although it is not as luxurious as when he went to Daxiangguo Temple to worship incense yesterday, but it is not ordinary. He was followed by three attendants, each holding a small wooden box in their hands. When Mrs. Wei took a look, she could see that this was a fine pear blossom wood, and it must be a very valuable gift inside.

Mrs. Wei was about to pay homage when she greeted her, but Zhao seemed to hold her with both hands and said, "The uninvited guest took the liberty of bothering, and I was already panicked in my heart, so why should Mrs. be polite." ”

Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "The prince's words can torment us, how can we say that we are an uninvited guest?" ”

"Hehe, Zeng Shumi is a minister of His Royal Highness, and this king is a caged bird in the court." Zhao seemed to complain inappropriately: "I'm not an uninvited guest, what else can I be?" ”

"What the prince said is not right." Mrs. Wei took Zhao Yan's hand and led him to the meeting room: "The prince is a sibling brother of the official family, and since the royal pole, there have been many rewards. The prince shouldn't be resentful. ”

Zhao Yan's face sank slightly, and then he laughed and said, "It is worthy of being the wife of Zeng Shumi." Well, let's not talk about the imperial court today. ”

As they spoke, they came to the front of the lobby, and the three little guys behind Zhao Ru stood up in turn and opened the box.

Zhao Ru pointed to the box and introduced it in turn: "Madam, please see, this is the best Tianshan Snow Lotus, which was paid tribute by a khanate in the Western Regions." This is the thousand-year-old ginseng of Changbai Mountain, and it is the emperor of Liao...... Jerod...... Well, it was given by the Emperor of Liao anyway. Oh, this is the white fungus bird's nest paid tribute by the emperor of Dali, which is said to have the effect of prolonging life. ”

After introducing the gift, he said: "Zeng Shumi's body is not safe, and he can just make up for it." Huh? Why don't you see Tseng's Privy Council? As he spoke, he looked up and looked around, in fact, what he was looking at was not Zeng Bu, but the servant girl who made him fall in love at first sight yesterday, but he didn't see it after looking around, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Mrs. Wei clasped her hands together and said in a somewhat frightened tone, "This is unacceptable, we dare not accept such a valuable gift." ”

"A small gift, not a tribute. Madame, don't shirk it. After Zhao seemed to finish speaking, he strode a few steps in the hall, looked around but didn't see the maid, so he asked again: "Why don't you see Zeng's secret?" ”

"Hey, it's all business." Mrs. Wei said with a haha: "Isn't this spring?" The Qiang people in the west were going south to plunder, and the lord went to the Privy Council to talk to Lord Zhang of the military department about defense. ”

"Oh, I see." Zhao nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, Zeng Bu didn't go to work, but he prided himself on being clear, and he didn't want to gang up with his wife and Mo Yunxiao to deceive people, so he avoided it far away.

Mrs. Wei saw that Zhao seemed to be a little depressed, and couldn't help but smile secretly, and then she greeted her, stood behind Zhao Ru and said: "The prince gave such a big gift when he first came to the door, and we have nothing to repay, but it just so happens that there is a servant in the house who has the ability to dance the sword, I wonder if the prince has a view of Yaxing?" ”

"Oh?" Zhao seemed to immediately turn around, his eyes glowed with infinite brilliance, and he said happily: "In this case, please invite her to come up and dance for a while." ”

"Come on, serve wine to the prince." Madame Wei gave an order, and everyone retreated, and several maids came up one after another with wine jugs, wine cups, and some dishes to accompany wine.

Mrs. Wei invited Zhao Yi to sit down, personally poured him a glass of wine, and said, "Lord Wang, this is a good wine in Changfeng Building, you can taste it." ”

Zhao seemed to drink a glass, but felt that the wine was fragrant and fragrant, and he couldn't help but praise: "It is indeed good wine." ”

At this moment, a woman dressed in colorful satin clothes and wearing soft-soled white silk shoes greeted her with broken steps.

She kept her head down, her toes tapping to the ground, her hands held high in front of her, and she clutched a golden sword.

Her long hair drooped and obscured her face, but she was graceful and outstanding. Zhao Qi, who was about to drink heartily, was stunned for a while.

The woman flipped her wrist slightly, and the tip of the sword slowly turned upwards. When the tip of the sword pointed to the sky, the woman suddenly made a mistake with both feet, and the horizontal sword was used as her chest. Zhao seemed to be even more surprised, only to feel that the woman in front of him was arrogant and intimidating.

Under the dance of this woman, this sword flew up and down, flashing sword light with the woman's soft and powerful figure, sometimes jumping, sometimes squatting, between the sword light entanglement, like a dragon out of the water, very eye-catching.

Mo Yunxiao has been traveling for a long time, and she has long been familiar with the skills of this body. Therefore, this set of swordsmanship is particularly handy.

While dancing the sword, she caught a glimpse of Zhao Yi with her peripheral vision, and saw that he and Zhao Ji were indeed somewhat similar, but his eyes did not have Zhao Ji's artist-like agility.

Thinking of Zhao Ji, she couldn't help but think of his abrupt behavior in Jin Mingchi that day. Mo Yunxiao felt a strong sense of shame, and a depressed atmosphere had accumulated in her heart for a long time.

She danced the sword and danced vigorously, and in a trance, she actually took Zhao Yi as Zhao Ji. So she raised her eyebrows, and a sword stabbed at Zhao Ru's chest.

"Ahh Mrs. Wei was taken aback and stood up unconsciously. But Zhao seemed to be still in a dream, looking at Mo Yunxiao with a pair of confused eyes.

"No!" Mrs. Wei suddenly shouted, and the tip of Mo Yunxiao's sword had already touched the placket of Zhao's clothes. And Mo Yunxiao was also taken aback by her drink, and was suddenly startled, only then did she come back to her senses and hurriedly withdraw her sword and turn back.

If this sword is stabbed, not only will it be a big crime to kill your whole family, but it will also affect Zeng Bu and Mrs. Wei. Thinking of this, Mo Yunxiao was drenched in cold sweat, hurriedly put away the sword, knelt down on one knee, the tip of the sword was facing down, and said with his chin bowed: "The prince forgives the sin." ”

"Good, good!" Zhao seemed to applaud at this time, as if he didn't know that Mo Yunxiao had a sword in his chest just now. Mo Yunxiao and Mrs. Wei both looked at each other very puzzledly.

Zhao Ru turned his head to Mrs. Wei and said, "Madame has such a talented woman to serve, how fortunate is it." Even if Aunt Gongsun, who is good at sword dancing, is alive, she can't help but be ashamed. ”

Mrs. Wei hurriedly smiled and said, "The prince is too famous." ”

"Huh? Madame, when did you stand up? Sit down, sit down. Zhao seemed to get up slowly, and said to Mo Yunxiao: "Your sword dance is very good, get up too." ”

"Yes." Mo Yunxiao stood up uneasily.

Zhao seemed to look at her for a while, and sure enough, it was the maid she saw in the backyard of Daxiangguo Temple yesterday. Mo Yunxiao's gaze touched him, and he lowered his head busily.

Of course, she wasn't really shy, she just pretended to be a gesture, which made Zhao seem to be even more obsessed with herself.

Zhao seemed to be really excited, but he couldn't lose his temper in Zeng Bu's mansion, so he could only suppress his inner impulse and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Mo Yunxiao stole a glance at Mrs. Wei, and then said timidly, "The little one's name is Linglong." ”

Zhao seemed to be about to say more, but Mrs. Wei preemptively said: "Linglong, it's rare for King Jian to appreciate your sword dance, go to the housekeeper to receive the reward." ”

"Whoa." Mo Yunxiao snickered in her heart, then curtsied, and was about to retreat, but Zhao seemed to stop her: "Wait!" ”

He turned to Mrs. Wei and said, "This woman is of good character, but she is just a little maid in your mansion, but I am afraid that she will use the night pearl as a lantern, and she will be greatly bent." ”

Mrs. Wei smiled and asked, "What does the prince mean?" ”

Zhao seemed to hesitate for a while before he said his thoughts: "Madam, you know, this king never goes out easily. When I went out and served someone else's tea bowl, people always had to show their hearts and send me a singer. The king could not retreat, and gradually it became a common practice. I see that this woman is generous and has the ability to dance the sword, so it is better for the lady to be a favor and sell her to the king. When the king invited the guests, he also asked her to come out and dance for a while, which naturally greatly enhanced the glory. ”

Mrs. Wei showed a look of embarrassment, frowned and said, "Shuyun 'come and don't be rude'." The prince has sent these many precious objects, and I should do this favor. It's just that this woman was bought by my lord, and if I let the prince take people away without saying hello, my lord will not be able to explain it. ”

Zhao Ru laughed and said, "What's the matter. There are no less than thirty singers in this king's mansion, so I sent two to show exchange. ”

"But this ......" Mrs. Wei was still embarrassed.

Zhao seemed to be in a hurry, stretched out the five fingers of his right hand, and said, "Five!" How? ”

"Lord Wang, it's not a question of how much." Mrs. Wei secretly laughed in her heart, but said: "It's just that my master loves this Linglong, and others can't get into his eyes." ”

"Ten!" Zhao seemed to spread out his hands, stretched out ten fingers, and said, "Ten for one, Zeng Shumi will not suffer." ”

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid I still have to discuss this matter with my master."

Zhao Ru gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "I turned over the dye workshop and made colorful clothes!" This king gave all the thirty singers in the house to Zeng Shumi, just asking for this one exquisite! ”

Mrs. Wei and Mo Yunxiao were both greatly surprised. They do have the idea of taking the opportunity to rescue these women, maybe Huan'er is among them. But I didn't expect to be able to catch them all. This made them surprised, delighted and apprehensive.

Zhao Ru's eyes were blazing, glaring at Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Wei paused for a moment before she said, "Okay, it's rare to have a deep friendship with the prince." It seems that if I don't let people go, it will be too unkind. ”

Zhao's expression finally relaxed, and he said with a smile: "The thirty singers in this king's mansion are all beautiful in the sky. But ......" He glanced back at Mo Yunxiao behind him, and said, "Compared to this Linglong, he is a vulgar fan, and he is unbearable." ”

"Alas. The prince is determined to win, what can I do? After Mrs. Wei finished speaking, she turned her head to the butler on the side and said, "Go, take Linglong's deed." After a while, I will go with the prince and get back the deeds of the thirty girls. ”

"Whoa." The butler answered and left.

Zhao seemed to be distressed for a while, but when he turned around and saw Mo Yunxiao, who was still looking down and shy, he was overjoyed again.

He came to Mo Yunxiao's side and asked, "Are you willing to go back with me?" ”

Mo Yunxiao said timidly: "The slave family is all up to the prince. ”

"Good!" He said to Mrs. Wei again: "Thank you, Madame, for your success." We're going back. ”

"It's rare for the prince to come once, don't you leave without eating?" Mrs. Wei said this deliberately.

Zhao seemed to be already anxious, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't dare to bother, don't leave it here, stay and stay." ”

According to the usual practice, every time Zhao seems to ask for a girl, he has to use a sedan chair to carry it back. This time is no exception. When the shopkeepers and pedestrians on the side of the road saw it, they all talked about it one after another. "Look, the 'dragon in the flower' has begged another girl." "Tut-tut, Yanfu is not shallow!" ”

People have seen a lot of such scenes, so naturally they don't think it's strange. But there's one thing they've never seen. A sedan chair was actually lifted out of King Jian's mansion.

In the eyes of the melon-eating masses, King Jian's move was comparable to the spectacle of the sun coming out of the west, which naturally caused a lot of discussion.

"I've never seen people enter King Jian's mansion, but I've never seen people come out. What's going on? ”

"Hey! Who knows, I heard that this flower dragon has that kind of problem, and he has to cut his love! ”

"Nonsense! I've heard that it was the new lady who was jealous and forced the dragon in the flower to drive the other ladies away. ”

"Hey! How can there be anything, my third nephew is working in a helper house of King Jian, and he said that King Jian is determined not to look for flowers anymore, and the prodigal son turned back, so he made this move. ”
