Chapter 225: The Jade Phoenix Sacred Feast
Governor Ah Shan hurriedly bowed down and said, "What Chu Jinglian said is extremely true. His Majesty worked hard for the country day and night, and now he has come to Yangzhou on his southern tour, and he should be happy with the people and feel the customs and customs of this place. ”
The rest of the ministers also chimed in.
Kangxi twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Since all the secretaries have this intention, it is better to be respectful than to obey their orders." Tonight, I will go to Yuhuangtai to take a look at the scenery of Yangzhou City. ”
An imperceptible smile flashed at the corner of Prince Yinren's mouth. All the people present shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Only two of them had gloomy faces and no smiles. One of them was naturally Murong Jielie. The murder of Guo Yan remains unsolved. Murong Jielie could almost conclude that it was Chu Jinglian who did it. But he still couldn't do anything.
The other person is Liu Jingxuan, the prefect of Yangzhou. He deeply felt that Chu Jinglian's move must have a deep meaning, but Liu Jingxuan couldn't predict what Chu Jinglian was going to do. Liu Jingxuan had already guessed that Chu Jinglian might invite Kangxi to Yuhuangtai, but according to Chu Jinglian's style of acting, he should not openly assassinate Emperor Kangxi. No one would be so stupid, and Chu Jinglian would not. The only thing Liu Jingxuan could do was to send Nangong Xuanyun and all the officials of the government to keep an eye on Chu Jinglian. He believed that Princess Chun Yu would not easily relax her guard against Jade Huangtai.
Chu Jinglian got up lightly and glanced at Murong Jielie inadvertently. That glance was full of disdain and disdain, and Murong Jielie's eyes were full of murderous intent. Murong Jielie and Chu Jinglian met for the first time today, but both of them recognized each other at first sight. They have been waiting for each other for too long.
Chu Jinglian came to the small building in the backyard of Yuhuangtai at noon, and Zhao Yushan had been waiting here for a long time. And today there is another girl who is also waiting for Chu Jinglian's arrival, he is the new Oiran of Yuhuangtai, Miss Dandan.
Seeing Chu Jinglian walking up to the small building, Zhao Yushan asked softly, "How about going here?"
Chu Jinglian smiled faintly: "It's very smooth." Kangxi has promised to come to Yuhuangtai tonight to enjoy the song and dance. Then you can arrange it and show the best programs. Remember, you can't afford to make the slightest mistake. ”
Zhao Yushan nodded, and asked with some hesitation: "Do you really want to let Miss Dandan see you tonight?"
Chu Jinglian was stunned when he heard this, stared at Dandan with his eyes and said, "I've been preparing for such a long time. Have you repented?"
Zhao Yushan hurriedly stopped the conversation: "The staff is angry." The subordinates were thinking that the Dandan girl didn't know martial arts, and she had never seen such a battle. Once there is an accident, I am afraid that I will miss a major event outside the staff. And once there is a change, Miss Dandan is only afraid that her life will not be guaranteed. It's better to let the slave and maid replace her, and then she can adapt to the situation. ”
Chu Jinglian's eyebrows were raised, and he said in a deep voice: "For today, I don't know how long I have been preparing. Dandan has been rehearsed many times. I don't think there should be a problem. Although you are a martial artist, and you are not afraid of danger. But for the fox charm, it is not as good as Dandan. If there is a real accident at that time, it will be self-cutting. ”
Chu Jinglian turned his head to look at Dandan: "Dandan, I'll ask you." Do you regret it now? If you regret it, I can let you leave Yangzhou now. ”
Dandan looked solemn and bowed down: "The slave has no regrets." Willing to repay the life-saving grace of the staff with death. ”
Chu Jinglian nodded with satisfaction: "That's it." ”
At the stairs of the small building, a figure flashed by. Upstairs, Chu Jing even subconsciously glanced at the staircase and found nothing.
At the time of the lantern, Kangxi, accompanied by all the civil and military forces, came to the Jade Phoenix Terrace. On the Jade Phoenix Terrace tonight, Chu Jinglian blocked out any guests other than Kangxi. As soon as Kangxi and the others entered the Jade Phoenix Terrace, the five hundred guards of Princess Chun Yu surrounded the Jade Phoenix Terrace. And Nangong Xuanyun also arranged for the officials to take care of each passage and exit in the Jade Phoenix Terrace.
Nangong Huangyun was very nervous, although Kangxi had Murong Jielie's care, but for Chu Jinglian's ability, Nangong Huangyun had already learned it when Shangguan Yunfei broke into Chu Mansion at night. Princess Chun Yu was also nervous, and she couldn't guess what Chu Jinglian was going to do. But she faintly felt that Chu Jinglian was about to make a move.
Kangxi walked into the Jade Phoenix Terrace and found that there were carved beams and painted buildings, sandalwood and jade railings. Agarwood curls, gemstone bead curtains. Silk embroidered curtains of various colors, soft brocade of various colors. Especially the colorful glass cup about one zhang long hanging in the hall, the brilliance is shimmering, and the color is repeated, which dazzles everyone. Kangxi couldn't stop admiring the luxury of the taste in the interior.
Chu Jinglian led Kangxi and the others to a private room on the second floor, which had been changed to a grandstand facing the lobby at this moment. Kangxi made it in the center, and the crown prince Yinren, the fourth Belle Yinzhen, and the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang sat on both sides. Governor Ahsan sat in the private rooms on both sides with Zhang Pengxi, Song Ju and others. Today, Liu Jing announced that he was on leave and did not come. Murong Jielie pressed his hand on the netherworld and stood behind Kangxi.
Zhao Yushan secretly ordered the maid to bring all kinds of dried and fresh fruits, and good tea in Jiangsu. All the utensils that were served were fine celadon and jade. Kangxi saw it in his eyes and was very satisfied.
Tonight, Zhao Yushan specially prepared a short funny double reed, which made Kangxi and the ministers laugh and couldn't stop laughing. The ensuing magic and acrobatic performances, Kangxi was embarrassed and amazed. The final performance is a song and dance.
With a pleasant sound of silk and bamboo, a group of white-clothed dancers slowly came out from under the porch. Their faces are like clotted fat, their skin is like winter snow, their skin is fragrant, their wrists are fragrant, their breasts are crisp, and their buttocks are up.
Among the white dancers is a woman in a blue peacock suit. She is slightly taller than other women in white, with a white veil on her face and her hair in a high bun. A pair of shining eyes looked forward to it, and a snow-white pearl necklace was worn on a pink stem. The twin peaks on her chest were towering, and they fluttered slightly as her body shook. A melodious sound of the piano sounded, and the blue-clothed dancer danced her waist to the sound of the piano, like a blue peacock, posing in various wonderful postures, as if it was not flesh and blood, but made of water. White and blue shine brightly.
Kangxi was a little stupid. Even the crown prince Yinren, the fourth Belle Yinzhen, and the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang on the side were all enthusiastic and eager to try. Governor Ahsan leaned his neck and leaned on the railing, eager to fall down to see it clearly. Zhang Pengxi, Song Ju and others on the side all sneered in their eyes and were extremely disdainful.
The singing and dancing were over, and the dancers left one after another. Kangxi was still immersed in the graceful dancing of the woman in blue. It wasn't until a long time later that Kangxi exhaled slightly: "Xuan Chujing has an audience." ”
