Chapter 150, Peerless Beauty
The gaze turned back to Liaozhongjing. That night, a delicate and elegant mountain villa outside the city was brightly lit and lively, and luxurious carriages kept coming to the bottom of the mountain, and one by one the powerful figures of the Liao Kingdom entered the villa. Yang Peng and the eldest princess Yelu Guanyin came together, and met Xiao Tianzuo, who also came to the dinner party, in front of the villa.
Xiao Tianzuo came forward to greet with a smile on his face: "Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Yelu Guanyin replied lightly: "Lord Privy! Xiao Tianzuo glanced at Yang Peng, who was standing next to Yelu Guanyin, and said with a smile: "Boss Jin is also here?" Yang Peng smiled and said, "Lord Privy! Xiao Tianzuo smiled and said teasingly: "I think it won't be long before I change my name to Boss Jin as the master of the horse!" Yang Peng smiled slightly, and Yelu Guanyin looked very happy.
The three of them walked into the villa while talking, and the servant who was in charge of welcoming guests at the gate of the villa saw him coming together, and hurriedly raised his voice and sang: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arrived!" The privy envoy Xiao arrived! Since he didn't know Yang Peng, he didn't tell Yang Peng's name. A few middle-aged people came to meet them, and their posture should be bureaucrats who came to celebrate their birthdays. Xiao Tianzuo hurriedly confessed, walked over, and chatted. Yang Peng and Yelu Guanyin walked towards the backyard.
When I came to the backyard, I saw the lights bright, and countless guests gathered in groups of three or five to chat, including nobles and bureaucrats, wealthy businessmen, and some young people who looked like so-called talents. Beautiful maidservants weave through the crowd like butterflies in flowers, arranging a banquet.
Yang Peng said with some surprise: "Why are so many people here?" Yelu Guanyin smiled: "Although my sister-in-law has long been in seclusion, she has an extraordinary influence in the government and the opposition, so every year my sister-in-law's birthday banquet, everyone will rush to celebrate her birthday!" ”
Yang Peng smiled: "Little sister has one thing to say." Yelu Guanyin looked at Yang Peng puzzled. Yang Peng smiled: "Didn't the little sister say that she is a beautiful woman with a beautiful national color?" I think a lot of people here are here for this! Yelu Guanyin smiled and nodded, "You're right, many people should be here for this." ”
"Niece Xian, you are here, I am still looking for you everywhere!" A bold voice suddenly came. The two of them followed the prestige and saw the kind old man Yeluchun striding with a smile. Yelu Guanyin hurriedly saluted and said, "Uncle Cousin." Yang Peng hugged his fists and said: "Marshal Du!" ”
Ye Luchun waved his hand angrily, "It's too angry to call Marshal Du, you can also call me cousin!" Yelu Guanyin looked at Yang Peng longingly. Yang Peng smiled, "Uncle Cousin! Yelu Guanyin smiled, Yelu Chun also smiled, and laughed: "Good, good! This cousin screamed that my old bones were very comfortable! Yongsan, you really accumulated virtue in your last life, so you can get the favor of my niece in this life! I can say that my niece, it is difficult to find a second person in the world! ”
Yelu Guanyin said: "The eldest brother is also unparalleled!" Ye Luchun laughed, "Yes, yes, yes, so you are a natural pair!" I couldn't be happier! Yang Peng didn't know what to say, so he simply didn't speak, and Yelu Guanyin looked very happy.
Yeluchun looked serious, looked around, and said to the two, "Let's go to a secluded place to talk." Then the three of them walked towards a pavilion on the left that was empty. When they came to the pavilion, the three of them sat down around the stone table, and Ye Luchun said: "I got a tip, and that kid from Xiao Tianzuo seems to be ready to do it at the field hunting conference!" The Northern Army is secretly preparing! ”
Yelu Guanyin smiled coldly, "He's looking for death!" Yeluchun nodded thoughtfully, "Not bad! With the armies of both of us, with one northern army, we can't make big waves! However, our previous plans will need to be slightly adjusted. What I mean is that the army will be mobilized to surround the entire field hunting site, and after Xiao Tianzuo is eliminated, he will force the northern army to submit with absolute strength. There shouldn't be a problem. Then the Northern Army was quickly reorganized, so that control of the Northern Army could be guaranteed. ”
Yelu Guanyin nodded thoughtfully. Yang Peng frowned and said, "Since we can find Xiao Tianzuo's movements, I'm afraid that Xiao Tianzuo can also discover our movements." If he was prepared, he was afraid that the surprise operation would turn into a violent clash between the two armies, and the consequences would be unpredictable! ”
Ye Luchun nodded and said, "What Yongsan said is extremely true!" So we have to keep it secret, and we have to be prepared for the worst! Looking at Yang Peng: "Do you have any suggestions?" Yang Peng said: "I don't think there is any need to do too much before the field hunting conference. Xiaomei's Dongying army is just east of the capital, the distance is very close, and it is completely too late to mobilize before Tian Hunt! Therefore, for the Dongying army, don't do anything for the time being, just tell those trustworthy generals and let them prepare in advance, so that when the time comes, the army can be pulled immediately! Other than that, there is no need for superfluous actions! In this way, it will be difficult for Xiao Tianzuo to find out the clues! ”
Yeluchun and Yeluchun nodded thoughtfully, and Yeluchun said, "Yongsan said it very well!" Then he frowned and asked, "Then how should my army move?" The camp is hundreds of miles to the west, and if you wait until the field hunts to act, I'm afraid it will be too late! Yang Peng smiled; It's easy to do. Isn't the Song army now attacking Xijing Road? We can use this as an excuse for Uncle Cousin to ask the emperor for his life, saying that the situation in Xijing Road is critical, and asking the Queen Mother to give you permission to lead the Xiying army to aid Xijing Road. ......" Ye Luchun's eyes lit up, and he high-fived: "Wonderful! Such an excuse, not to mention that the Queen Mother will not be suspicious, even Xiao Tianzuo will definitely not be suspicious, he must wish that I would lead the army to leave! looked at Yang Peng and exclaimed: "Yongsan, you are really wise and brave!" ”
Yang Peng smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Uncle Cousin has won the prize!" Yelu Guanyin looked at Yang Peng, and her beautiful eyes were full of joy. Ye Luchun continued: "After the Queen Mother gives the order, I will return to Xiying. Lead the army to the west first, and then go around in a circle and secretly enter the vicinity of the capital. When the field hunting conference is held, he and his niece's army will unite to get rid of Xiao Tianzuo, and then ask His Majesty to entrust him with military affairs! It's a big deal! ”
Yang Peng frowned slightly, as if he was worried about something. Yelu Guanyin noticed Yang Peng's expression and asked; "Is Big Brother worried about anything?"
Yang Peng frowned and said: "For now, our plan is seamless, and there should be no accidents." However, I am worried that there will be any action on the Western Xia side during this period? Once Western Xia launched an attack at this time, the matter was serious! ”
Both of them were also worried, and Ye Luchun said, "I don't think it should be such a coincidence." Moreover, the Western Xia side was still carrying out military and political reforms, and there was no sign of resuming the conquest. Yang Peng nodded, "I hope everything goes well, God bless Da Liao." Yelu Guanyin also hoped so. The three of them were silent, worried and longing wrapped in their chests.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside. The three of them couldn't help but look outside, only to see that everyone gathered towards the water pavilion in the distance, and in the corridor behind the water pavilion, a woman in plain clothes walked towards the water pavilion accompanied by several maids. It's far away, it's night, the light is not very good, and it can't be seen really, but in the haze, Yang Peng feels that it should be a peerless beauty!
Yelu Guanyin smiled: "My sister-in-law is here, let's go over quickly." The three of them immediately left the pavilion and walked towards the water pavilion in front of them. The pavilion is large enough to seat more than 100 people, but because there are so many people who come to congratulate the birthday, only people with considerable status can sit in the pavilion, and most of the others can only sit by the lake outside the pavilion. The water pavilion is connected to the shore on one side, facing the water on three sides, the moon is in the sky at night, and the lake is sparkling, and the environment is very beautiful.
Yang Peng, Yelu Guanyin, and Yelu Chun entered the water pavilion, and Ye Luchun laughed; "I haven't seen her for many days, and my little sister's demeanor is better than before! My brother is getting old! The woman smiled, and her red lips lightly opened: "Brother Chun is not old!" "The voice is tactful and moving, and in today's parlance, the voice is very sexy and tugging.
"Mei'er wishes my sister-in-law a young man!" Yelu Guanyin stepped forward to worship. The woman looked at Yelu Guanyin, her beautiful eyes flowed, and her charming charm showed twelve points in her! "Mei'er is getting more and more heroic! Every time my sister-in-law sees you, she is very happy! His eyes turned to Yang Peng's body behind Yelu Guanyin, his expression moved, and he asked with a smile: "This must be the Goryeo businessman who shot the head of the goldfinch with an arrow, right?" ”
Yang Peng hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "I've seen the imperial aunt!" The woman smiled slightly, "You can call me sister-in-law like Mei'er." ”
Yang Peng was a little depressed in his heart, to be honest, it was difficult for him to look at the gorgeous and moving woman in front of him as an adult. "Sister-in-law." Yang Peng shouted. The woman squinted her eyes and smiled, looking at Yelu Guanyin, "Mei'er, this wishful husband of yours is very good!" You've finally got a lifelong trust! At this, a hint of melancholy appeared in her eyes, and she sighed softly. A light sigh is like crying, swaying people's hearts, I don't know if she thinks of her own life experience, so she is melancholy and can't be resolved.
The woman raised her head and smiled, "You can sit down, you don't have to be restrained here." Ye Luchun smiled: "I won't be polite to my little sister." With that, he walked to the left and sat down, as he was qualified. Yelu Guanyin and Yang Peng saluted the woman, walked to Yelu Chun and sat down in turn.
At this time, people kept coming in to congratulate the woman on her birthday. Yang Peng looked across and saw Xiao Tianzuo, who was sitting on the right, looking at him gloomily, but when his expression changed instantly when Yang Peng looked over, it turned into a kind smiling face, which made Yang Peng wonder if he had seen it wrong just now?
Xiao Tianzuo smiled this way, and Yang Peng responded with a chin. Yelu Guanyin next to him snorted coldly and whispered: "The guy who hides the knife in his smile!" Yang Peng smiled. Turning his head to look at the beautiful woman above who was receiving congratulations from everyone, he asked curiously, "I don't know what my sister-in-law's name is?" Yelutri said: "My sister-in-law was originally called Yelu Temo, but she took a Chinese name herself, called Yelu Hanyu. My sister-in-law likes calligraphy and painting, and there are very few ink treasures circulating in the market, and the signatures on them are all Yelu Hanyu. ”
Yang Peng touched his chin and thought: "Cold rain, this name is cold and lonely, and it tastes of self-pity and self-pity!" Yelu Guanyin sighed, "Hey, I'm afraid this is a portrayal of my sister-in-law's heart!" He turned his head to look at Yelu Hanyu, and said hopefully: "I hope my sister-in-law can find the lover she has been waiting for!" Yang Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The most bitter thing in life is Lonely!" ”
Xiao Tianzuo stood up with a wine glass in his hand and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, let's congratulate the imperial aunt on her birthday and wish the imperial aunt an ageless appearance!" Everyone stood up one after another, holding wine glasses and said, "I wish the imperial aunt a good look!" Yelu Hanyu smiled slightly and raised his glass, "Thank you!" Then he covered it with his long sleeves and drank the wine in his glass, and everyone immediately dried the wine one after another.
Yelu Hanyu put down his wine glass and glanced at the waitress standing aside, who understood and immediately raised his voice: "Sing and dance!" The melodious music immediately sounded, and a group of young men and women dressed in traditional Khitan costumes entered and danced, which was completely different from the dance of the Central Plains and full of grassland style. Yang Peng couldn't help but immerse himself in it, feeling as if it was telling about the love between men and women.
At the end of the song and dance, all the dancers gathered into a huge flower and held out a beautiful dancing girl, who knelt down to congratulate: "May the imperial aunt stay young forever!" Yelu Hanyu was very happy, turned his head to look at the waitress next to him, and smiled: "It's all your idea, right?" You've bothered, I love it! The waitress looked very excited.
The dancers all retreated. Xiao Tianzuo said: "Speaking of this music and dance, the history of my Khitan clan is not inferior to that of the Han people in the Central Plains!" The styles of the two are different and each has its own characteristics, but if you trace back to the roots, they all have the same goal, and they both originated in ancient times as a ritual dance! A chubby official immediately flattered: "Your Excellency the Privy Counsellor is really knowledgeable, and my words have opened my eyes!" ”
Xiao Tianzuo smiled and waved his hand, "I have won the prize!" He glanced up at Chen Xiao, "I heard that Goryeo is also a nation that can sing and dance, I wonder if Boss Jin can let us see it!" "Some of the bored people started to laugh.
Xiao Tianzuo said with a smile: "It may be necessary to disappoint the privy envoy, who is busy with business all year round, and has little involvement in singing and dancing." Xiao Tianzuo didn't intend to let Yang Peng go, and said with a smile: "Boss Jin is too humble!" I don't believe that Boss Jin really doesn't know how to sing and dance! Today is the joy of the emperor's birthday, Boss Jin doesn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, he should also reward this face! ”
At this time, everyone could see that Xiao Tianzuo was clearly squeezing Yang Peng and wanted him to make a fool of himself. Many people looked at Yang Peng gloatingly, these people were originally jealous of Yang Peng's favor by Yelu Guanyin, and now they finally had a chance to make Yang Peng ugly, so they were naturally extremely excited. "Boss Jin, it's too much to be so hypocritical on the emperor's aunt's birthday!" Someone shouted.
Yelu Guanyin glared at the man, and said angrily: "Big brother doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, what are you who dare to shout here!" The beautiful Yelu Guanyin was so angry that she was like an angry tigress, and it was so frightening that the man quickly shrank back and didn't dare to say anything.
Yang Peng smiled and patted the back of Yelu Guanyin's hand under the table, and Yelu Guanyin cast a gentle look at Yang Peng. The contrast between the violent and the gentle is so great that the people who see it can't help but sigh in their hearts, and they are infinitely jealous, they really don't understand, what is so good about that Goryeo businessman, who can actually get such a different favor from Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?
Yang Peng looked at Xiao Tianzuo and said with a smile: "I have been doing business in the Central Plains all the year round, but I am unfamiliar with Goryeo singing and dancing, but I am involved in the singing and dancing of the Song Kingdom. Since you are so enthusiastic, let's throw bricks and jade to offer a poem of the Song Kingdom. First, I want to congratulate the imperial aunt on her birthday, and secondly, I also want to express my affection for the eldest princess. Yang Peng has already made up his mind to stimulate those boring people.
Many people sneered again and again, waiting to see Yang Peng make a fool of himself. Yelu Guanyin frowned and whispered, "Big brother doesn't have to care about those people!" Yang Peng patted the back of Yelu Guanyin's hand to show comfort. stood up, walked to the middle, and hugged his fists towards Yelu Hanyu, who was sitting at the top, and said, "It's ugly below!" Yelu Hanyu smiled slightly, "I don't know if you write poems, so how about I ghostwrite for you?" Yang Peng said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”
Yang Peng walked to the middle of everyone, thinking about looking at the sky, and said slowly, ""Qingyu Case: Yuan Xi" The east wind blooms thousands of trees on the night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim. ”
At the end of a poem, the scene was silent, and everyone was reminiscing about the poignant artistic conception and couldn't extricate themselves.
Yang Peng took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and hugged his fists at Yelu Hanyu and said, "I don't know if the imperial aunt is satisfied?" Only then did everyone come back to their senses one after another, and many people couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect there to be such touching poems!" ”
Xiao Tianzuo said, this should not be the scene, how about another song. Yang Peng said. I'm making a poem for my sister-in-law, maybe it shouldn't be the scene, and I ask my sister-in-law not to be surprised.
Yang Peng walked around the lobby, suddenly walked in front of Ye Yu Hanyu, picked up a glass of wine, groaned down, and said loudly, "Man Tingfang, Xiaoge Zangchun", "Xiaoge Zangchun, idle windows lock daytime, the painting hall is infinitely deep. The incense is burned out, and the curtain hook is under the shadow of the sun. It's better to plant Jiangmei by hand, so why bother to climb the building near the water. No one arrived, it was lonely, He Xun was in Yangzhou. Never, knowing the rhyme wins, embarrassing the rain, and not tolerant of the wind. Who's more transverse flute, blowing deep sorrow. Don't hate the incense and reduce the snow, you must believe in the Tao and sweep the traces. It is difficult to say, the good night is light, and the shadow is still romantic. ”
Yelu Hanyu lowered his head, tried his best to calm down the churning emotions, and it took a while to raise his head, and he had returned to normal, but there was still a trace of excitement in the pair of beautiful eyes, and there was still a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes. "The poem of the virtuous nephew makes all the songs lose their color!"
"The Imperial Aunt has won the award." Yelu Hanyu asked curiously, "I wonder who made this poem?" Yang Peng said, "It's exactly what I did just now, and I asked the imperial aunt to give an evaluation,"
Yelu Hanyu showed a thoughtful look, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yang Peng returned to his seat, Yelu Guanyin threw himself into Yang Peng's arms regardless of the public, and took the initiative to offer a fragrant kiss. Some watched with extreme frenzy, but many more smiled kindly. Yelu Guanyin stared at Yang Peng and said excitedly: "You killed me!" From now on, I'll be thinking about you all the time! Yang Peng smiled.
Boss Gold shoots a Plantagenet head to win the princess's favor. This matter has now spread throughout the capital. It can be seen that Boss Jin's archery skills are outstanding! I wonder if we have the best eyes to see Boss Jin's peerless archery? Xiao Tianzuo said.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
