Chapter 19 The Emperor Zhao Zhen
"Huh? Nan Huaijin was stunned, and suddenly felt that the strength of the eighth senior brother's hand was very strong, and his wrist hurt slightly.
The little eunuch led a few people to the palace at all, but a tea pavilion, with a table of good dishes on the pavilion, and twenty or thirty burly guards guarding the surroundings, carrying a steel knife forged from stainless steel around their waists.
He Xiao nodded, looked at a palace person on the very edge and asked, "What about Your Majesty?"
The little eunuch didn't dare to raise his head, this was to He Xiao and said: "Your Majesty asked Lord He and Master Li to eat some tea in the tea pavilion and wait for a while, Your Majesty is still enjoying the garden with the noble concubine at the moment, and will come over in a while." ”
Li Chun sat down first, looked at the dishes on the table, looked at the two little eunuchs and said, "Didn't you see the two adults here?
As soon as Li Chun spoke, a book of soldiers was shaken out of the big red robe, and Nan Huaijin looked at him and felt strange, how many things were hidden in this person's robe.
The two little eunuchs trembled, and hurriedly said, "The little one is going to ask the dining room to send some sheep's head signs." ”
Li Chun glanced at the two of them: "Why don't you go soon?"
The two little eunuchs were relieved and ran away.
Zhu Qiu leaned into Nan Huaijin's ear and whispered, "This person's temper is so bad, even the eunuchs bully. ”
Nan Huaijin nodded and whispered: "People are just two little eunuchs who pass on words, which is indeed excessive." ”
Only He Xiao smiled, sat down in one position, and shouted to Nan Huaijin: "Senior sister, come and sit, if you are hungry, eat something first." ”
Nan Huaijin showed a hint of a smile, there was a beaded veil on her face, He Xiao couldn't see it clearly, he could only see that her eyes were crooked.
I'm really a little hungry, although there are only a few dishes on the table, but the craftsmanship of the imperial chef in the palace is really exquisite, a piece of white radish is carved into a snow lotus, and the egg white is beaten on the beans, like a flat boat.
"In this palace, unlike the people, there are many rules, and there are many nobles, and the nobles in the palace love to eat some strange things. Zhu Qiu said, took a piece of lotus root handed over by Nan Huaijin in his mouth, and was shocked with a pair of big eyes, the skill of the imperial chef is really excellent, it is obviously a lotus root slice, but it is soft and glutinous as a sweet rice cake like fine powder.
Nan Huaijin squinted and smiled, "How is it?
Zhu Qiu nodded his head and exclaimed, "Why is this lotus root so delicious! It's much better than Fengxianglou's cooking skills!"
He Xiao laughed: "Just that folk cook, no matter how good his skills are, can he have the skills of the imperial chef in this palace?
Li Chun also ate the dishes, and the meat aroma of this mouthful of braised pork said vaguely: "Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, our emperor loves to eat it the most, and he is tired of eating the taste of the north, so he went to find a famous chef in Suzhou and Hangzhou to cook." ”
"Oh, that's what you don't know. He Xiao waved his hand: "Where is the emperor's own liking, obviously for that woman." ”
"Woman?" Nan Huaijin interjected and looked, the emperor went to the world to find a cook for a woman?
He Xiao waved his hand and said no more, Nan Huaijin saw some people rushing over in the distance, the handsome man led by him was dressed in a yellow robe, with a five-clawed golden dragon tattooed on his body, holding a young woman dressed beautifully, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, as well as a large group of imperial city guards.
This is the emperor? Shouldn't it be sitting on the dragon chariot? Why did he walk out? Before thinking about it, He Xiao patted Nan Huaijin, who was still stunned, on the side, on the shoulder, and everyone stood up and saluted the emperor.
The emperor came from a distance, and the two looked at each other inadvertently, Nan Huaijin was caught off guard and lowered his head.
"The grass people and the ministers knock to see Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
The emperor nodded and said slowly: "I'm here, don't kneel, just calm down." ”
Only then did everyone straighten up, Nan Huaijin stared at the emperor and the woman he was holding, this girl seemed to be only a little older than her, her face was covered with heavy makeup, she was indeed surprisingly beautiful, and a pair of charming eyes were also looking up and down Nan Huaijin's body.
The emperor seemed to be very fond of her, and picked up the dishes and sent them to her bowl, Nan Huaijin opened his mouth to talk to Zhuqiu on the side, but was interrupted by He Xiao's hand.
He Xiao whispered softly: "Senior sister, you are really bold, the emperor is here, you still dare to talk to others?"
Nan Huaijin smacked at him Nunu and whispered: "The emperor doesn't speak when he eats, you see, you know that you can pick up vegetables for that woman, if the master knows that he bullies me like this, he will definitely hit him in the head with his own hands." ”
He Xiao smiled and said: "Don't take the master and his old man out, you just let the master and his old man spoil him, this is the emperor of my Great Song Dynasty, the supreme emperor of the world, you say this so that he knows, are you not afraid?"
"Let's just speak softly, you see, that Li Chun, didn't you hear it too?"
"He and I can hear you talking, don't whisper. Li Chun had been eating vegetables, and suddenly turned his head and said something to her.
"Your Majesty has arrived, and you don't salute, Master Li, but it's too unruly. He Xiao smiled, Li Chun blinked, the corners of his mouth curved, got up and threw off his red-sleeved robe, bowed to the emperor, and sat down to continue eating.
Nan Huaijin was stunned and glanced at the emperor, although Zhao Zhen was still eating tea and letting the eunuch add food, but his eyes were staring at her, staring at her all over her hair, the emperor slowly spoke: "Ling Tianmen, Qingyun Mountain, Lu Weisheng, they are all so famous, little girl, your master, is he okay?"
The emperor's speech, surprisingly powerful pressed on Nan Huaijin, Nan Huaijin's sword clanged for a while, Nan Huaijin knew that it was the shadow, she really didn't expect that this Emperor Zhao would actually know martial arts!
This mighty power, she felt like she had never felt before, she was powerless to resist at all, this momentum came suddenly, and it disappeared, Nan Huaijin was relieved, it turned out that Li Chun was standing beside her, with his hand on her shoulder, and dispersed the pressure that condensed on her body for her.
"Your Majesty has mercy, look at you are a girl, relax some strength. He Xiao smiled slightly, got up and saluted the emperor again.
Li Chun looked at Nan Huaijin's stunned look, his hand was still on her shoulder, he withdrew his hand and said: "After all, the emperor is a supreme figure, how can he really be angry with the junior?" Your Majesty, this is the closed disciple of the Lu Sect Master of Lingtianmen of Qingyun Mountain, Nanhuai Jin Nan Girl. ”
The emperor smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Since she came down the mountain, I have known her, the most spoiled female disciple of the Lord of the Lu Gate, the disciples on Qingyun Mountain said that she has practiced the hegemony of the Lord of the Lu Gate, and her talent is superb, I thought that her martial arts far surpassed her peers, but I didn't expect that, Nan Huaijin, you have disgraced your master." ”
Nan Huaijin raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes to look at the ground and said to himself: "What's so good about practicing martial arts, you can't really become an immortal." ”
He Xiao shook his head with a smile and said, "Do you know how old the old man of Huashan was when he died?"
Nan Huaijin was curious.
"As far as I know, when Huashan Weng's predecessors died, there should be more than one hundred and forty, although I don't know whether it is true or not, but ask the old woodcutter on the mountain, when he was young, this Huashan Weng was already sixty or seventy years old. Li Chun spoke, but his eyes under the mask kept staring at Nan Huaijin.
"More than one hundred and forty years old, isn't that an old fairy?" These words were said by the beauty next to the emperor, although she had been talking, but she was talking to the emperor, her voice was very soft, and now she exclaimed, Nan Huaijin also heard it clearly.
Her voice was so nice, like a silver bell, and like a refreshing nightingale. Nan Huaijin also wanted to speak, she also wanted to say that this old man of Huashan was a true immortal, more than one hundred and forty years old, what is this not a living immortal?
Li Chun nodded: "Although it is just a legend, it is recorded in the local county annals, and it should be such an age." ”
The emperor laughed at the beauty, the beauty was only two or three years older than Nan Huaijin, so the beauty often called herself sister when she talked to her, but Nan Huaijin ignored her and looked left and right with her.
"Zhuqiu, are you tired?" Nan Huaijin asked her on the shoulder of Zhuqiu, Zhuqiu was stunned from time to time, and he didn't want to move when he looked at the ground.
Zhu Qiu shook her head, she was not tired, but she didn't know why, maybe she was really angry too much, her stomach hurt badly, she greeted Nan Huaijin, touched her stomach and went back alone, Nan Huaijin wanted to go with her, let the emperor stay, and the two soldiers from the front of the palace stepped forward to escort her away.
The emperor called the dancing girls, each of them was a gorgeous and delicate woman, Nan Huaijin also looked at their soft figures, the waist was twisted as if there was no bone, the face was pulled with a white veil, and in the dark night, with the moonlight and oil lamps, you could see a pair of charming eyes and a white neck, and the twisted waist was even more exposed to the navel, and the guards on the side were secretly swallowing saliva.
Zhao Zhen clapped with Zhang Meiren's hands, applauded loudly, and said to Li Chun and He Xiao: "These are the beauties of Western Xia, don't look at their tender appearance, they are very chaste, they will only like one person, and when I caught them, they would rather die than obey." ”
"Holy. Zhang Meiren was coquettish in his arms, and Zhao Zhen lowered his head and pinched the woman's nose. Nan Huaijin looked at the two of them, and the emperor didn't have a half
"The beauty dance is good, but the saint still needs to be diligent in the government tomorrow morning, and he needs to rest early, the saint. He Xiao said.
Two little eunuchs came from a distance, and two of them carried a sheep's head on a plate, kowtowed to the emperor first, and then raised the square plate and placed it on the stone table.
The emperor looked over and saw that it was a sheep's head stick, and said, "Who asked the two of you to send the mutton?"
The two little eunuchs timidly replied: "It was Master Li Chun who said that there were fewer dishes, so the slaves and maids went to the dining room and asked the imperial kitchen to make it." ”
"Why is it so slow?" Li Chun directly grabbed the sheep's head stick, the oil soup of the sheep's head stick was still hot, and there were a few verdant crispy vegetables on it, he stuffed it himself and began to chew, and the mutton mixed with the thick oil soup overflowed at the corner of his mouth. Nan Huaijin is also greedy, she likes to eat meat the most, and mutton is her favorite, according to her words, it is best to have a meal.
I still remember that when I was in Qingyun Mountain, the master would always bring some lamb meat, and the senior sister didn't know when she learned a good dish, and she would also make mutton and sheep's head sticks. It's so fragrant, and this imperial chef really looks like the craft she used to do on the mountain.
"You two went to the Sword Shrine together today?" the emperor asked suddenly, his eyes staring at everyone, Nan Huaijin looked at him, and there was a trace of golden light in his eyes.
He Xiao nodded, glanced at Li Chun and said, "Let's go together." ”
The emperor stared at them: "How." ”
Li Chun shook his head, thought for a while, and just spit out one word: "Difficult." ”
As soon as he thought of the sudden chill and invisible blade, Li Chun felt that his scalp was numb, he could become the head of the forbidden army above 10,000 people under one person, and he was naturally capable, but he couldn't confidently avoid the chill.
He Xiao was also silent, he secretly thought to himself, he was not as good as Li Chun in terms of martial arts alone, and the treasures did not have the jade hand clothes on the list of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, even he couldn't do it, and he thought that he shouldn't be able to.
"The artifact is naturally protected by a divine object, and the two emperors of Taizu and Taizong both want to use the entire world Kyushu Emperor Tianlong Qi to suppress this thing, naturally it is not an ordinary product, forget it, since you can't get it, you can't get it." "The emperor seemed to have known what was in the sword mound for a long time, and said lightly, not sad.
He Xiao nodded, helpless, only Li Chun's eyes were shrewd, and only he would not admit it so simply.
"Go back earlier, I will also go back with my concubine. The emperor got up, everyone hurriedly got up and saluted, the emperor leaned over to look at Nan Huaijin, her face was still covered with beads, and she couldn't see the lower half of her face clearly, it was indeed a beautiful embryo, the emperor thought.
"If you are usually free, you can come to the palace, you can see that the concubine likes you. Emperor Zhao Zhen was talking about Zhang Meiren, Zhang Mihan smiled and nodded, she saw how many years younger than Nan Huaijin, so she called her sister.
He Xiao pulled her behind him, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, go slowly." ”
The emperor pouted, hugged Zhang Meiren and walked away surrounded by the eunuch guards, laughing with the beauty, and looking at it at ease.
