Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Shisheng has entered the center of royal power in the northern kingdom.
Although he was also born and raised here, he was just a little savage in the deep mountains and old forests, how could he be lucky enough to come to this place known as 'Changchun in the North'?
The so-called Changchun in the north means that in the whole northern country, no matter how cold the climate is, but the imperial city is always like spring, the previous life was a little sneering at this: God is going to snow, how can you care if you are a royal city or not? Even if you are the emperor, you have to drink God's urine (fish).
But this time when he entered the palace, Shisheng was really shocked, inside and outside the palace, there are really two different worlds.
The palace door opens, the world seems to be cut off, in the palace, you can't see a trace of snow, the pines and cypresses on both sides are hung with red, orange, yellow and green fake flowers, the flowers are very cleverly folded, the wind stretches and trembles slightly, if it is not for this severe cold, take a look, it really seems to be in the warm season when a hundred flowers are in full bloom.
The guards in the palace are obviously many grades higher than those crooked melons and cracked dates who patrol the city, and they are neatly lined up, all of them are as tall as knives and axes, and they walk in unison with the wind, giving people the illusion of an afterimage from the side.
"These grandsons are walking quite well. In the carriage, Liu Bolun opened the curtain slightly, and said while pouting his gourd: "I really don't know if I can brush it like this when the fight starts." β
"You care about that. I saw Li Hanshan say: "According to legend, the northern country is still martial, and now I see that this posture is really true, and I heard that the emperor is also quite reasonable." It's not like hedonism. β
By the arrangement of the green frost, several people all changed into the costumes of the dance troupe at this time, and several ladies dressed like singers. And in the world, they put on the clothes of the little guy, maybe because of their weak hearts, along the way, Liu Bolun was always talking about idle words, and the white donkey kept ignoring him.
While the men were talking in whispers, the carriage had already hurried past the front court, turned a corner in a slightly remote place, and drove in the direction of the harem. After passing by three sentry posts, a gate was pushed open by the guard guarding the door, and Shisheng only felt a gust of hot wind mixed with a fresh and sweet smell rushing towards his face. When they looked together, several people were a little stunned.
If the previous dynasty is still a little cold and majestic, this harem area is really like spring, but you can see flowers all around. It's all flowers. In addition to plum blossoms, there are many rare exotic flowers and plants, which should be precious vegetation found in various countries. These flowers are actually blooming in the cold winter, and they look very gratifying.
Every thirty paces or so there was a large brazier, in which the charcoal fire burned brightly, and from time to time a gang of eunuchs would pick up the ashes and add charcoal. Apparently day and night. The end of the road leads to a huge pavilion in the distance, and so on. How much is the daily charcoal fire picking fee?
And at this moment, a white-haired and withered eunuch came forward, the convoy immediately stopped, everyone got out of the car, supported by two maids, Lang Qingshuang stepped forward and slowly saluted the eunuch: "The people's girl Lang Qingshuang, I have seen Grandpa Mai, and Father-in-law is blessed." β
The old eunuch pulled the corners of his mouth without smiling, nodded his head, and said in a sharp male duck voice: "Miss Lang is really a beautiful embryo, Miss has worked hard all the way, can the road be smooth?"
"Thanksgiving XiΓ Hongfu. Lang Qingshuang smiled slightly, and then said very scenely: "I don't know where Your Majesty is now, I haven't seen it for many years, Qingshuang is very concerned about the dragon face of Your Majesty." β
"This ...... Hee-hee. I saw that the old eunuch smiled, and then said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient to see the girl now, so it's better to ask the girl to settle down in the palace first, and it's not too late for our family to take you on a pilgrimage after the bath." β
"Totally unnecessary!"
Coincidentally, just after the old eunuch had just finished saying this, he heard a burst of profligate laughter in the woods on the left hand side, this laughter had just passed, and the eunuchs around were all startled, led by the old eunuch, only to see them kneeling on the ground with brushes, putting their heads on the bluestone slab, and at the same time the mountain shouted: "See Your Majesty!"
Everyone was shocked, and then looked up, but saw a middle-aged man with an open arms suddenly came out of the woods, this person looked to be in his thirties, with white and tender skin, and very thick bags under his eyes.
Shisheng was stunned, and at this moment, the consul of the dance troupe hurriedly told them to kneel, and after everyone knelt, Lang Qingshuang stepped forward, bowed down to the middle-aged body with an open arms and said: "Qingshuang has seen His Majesty, I haven't seen him for a long time, and His Majesty's complexion is really getting better and better." β
The monarch of the northern kingdom grinned, and then actually reached out to mix the green frost, only to see him laugh and said: "Qingshuang doesn't need to be polite, three years ago at the Dongcheng Nations Conference, Yi Zhi Miaoyin is still in my mind, now you come to the northern country, but don't be restrained, come here, clean a palace for Miss Qingshuang to stay." β
The old eunuch hurriedly complied, and at this moment, Lin Zhongcai 66 continued to run out of a team of beauties, although the weather was cold, but those beauties were all untidy and untidy, and they were not stunned when they saw the living people entering the palace, only to see them delicately ran to the monarch's left and right, and then laughed coquettishly with the monarch: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that it was fun to hide and seek, you are good, you actually ran halfway, but you are tired of our sisters." β
"Really, you can't bear to leave us there. β
"Yes, yes. You are Laipi, we don't follow. β
Seeing this group of wild bees and butterflies laughing around the monarch, no one in the dance troupe dared to raise their heads, and several people in the world couldn't help frowning, thinking to themselves What kind of emperor is this, why is he doing this?
And under the 'siege' of the concubines, the monarch of the northern kingdom did not have the majesty that an emperor should have, on the contrary, this gentle country made him very useful, I saw him laugh and said: "Okay, I admit the punishment, take the wine and I punish myself with three glasses!" Qingshuang, it's better for you to .................. too."
The emperor was drinking wine and wanted to let Lang Qingshuang stay here and play with him, but at this moment. A little eunuch hurriedly came to him and whispered, "Your Majesty, the three ministers have been waiting for two hours. I want to discuss with you about opening the warehouse and distributing grain to the people on the day of the dragon's birthday, I don't know .................. you."
"Let them keep waiting. I saw that the monarch frowned, and then scolded very unhappily: "I really don't understand, what does my birthday have to do with those untouchables? If it weren't for the rules of the ancestors, I would still care about them?"
"Yes, yes. I saw the little eunuch wipe his cold sweat and said, "But the ancestral rules can't be broken." If those historians criticize it because of this, it may damage the reputation of His Majesty. β
The monarch snorted, then muttered, "I'll kill all those bullshit historians sooner or later." When the time comes, who will dare to write nonsense.................. Forget it, the mood is gone, you go back to the palace first, Qingshuang, you also go to rest first. I'll see you later. β
The blue frost responded calmly. Then the king turned around, and Shisheng looked up at the man's back, thinking to himself what kind of nonsense he was talking about.
"This grandson is really in trouble. On the way to his residence, he saw Liu Bolun say with emotion: "We have also seen the emperor, this should be the best in the emperor, but he is really good at playing, look at the posture just now." It's clearly a wine pond and a meat forest? How can there be a trace of Mingjun's virtue? It's clearly a subordinate three, okay!"
Li Hanshan sighed: "I took the time to calculate just now, and you are right. He is really a second ancestor of the next three abuses, his father became the emperor because of a coup d'Γ©tat, the country has not been sitting for a few years, and the sons below have begun to be greedy, this kid is relying on the royal family who supported him, not to mention that his Lao Tzu was drugged to death, and he was also a puppet in peace, but he didn't know that he was just a puppet. β
"The Emperor's house is really messy. Liu Bolun took a sip of wine, and then said: "I'm really fed up, this huge palace is completely a place of black miasma, hey, let's get things done as soon as possible and leave quickly." β
It didn't take long for them to come to the residence, the harem was extremely luxurious, and the people began to carry the boxes from the car down, and several people in the world also began to find the whereabouts of the Tai Sui, because they couldn't use the Tao, so they had to rely on Xiaobai's ability.
As in Ma Cheng, Xiao Bai found a mouse hole outside a kitchen, leaned down to make a special sound at the mouth of the hole, every little time, there was a gray mouse in the mouse hole out of the hole, Xiao Bai took the mouse in his hand and took it back to the room After a few words, the mouse ran out quickly, and every time it took, it attracted dozens of rats.
"Do you understand? That man has a scar here, please come back and sue me after you find him, thank you for your hard work. While telling the mice the face of the mysterious man, Xiaobai took out a few pieces of bean cake from his pocket, broke them and threw them to them.
And at this moment, I suddenly heard a few knocks on the door, it turned out that the Qingshuang who had been cleaned up was coming, to be honest, Liu Bolun is really a little afraid of seeing her now, the reason is simple, it is because of the eldest sister next to her. But since people are here, they can't be gone, so Li Hanshan went to open the door, and after the door opened, Lang Qingshuang was frightened by the mice in the house, and she said in surprise: "This, this ............"
"Don't be afraid. I saw that Li Hanshan hurriedly explained to her: "These are our 'friends', we have just arrived at the palace, and we are asking them where the 'plum blossoms' bloom best." β
By the way, the reason why they talked to Qingshuang was to enjoy the plum blossoms in this palace, and when Qingshuang saw Xiaobai, the 'beast whisperer', when he could really communicate with the beast, his admiration for several people was even deeper, and when she endured fear and walked into the house, she couldn't help but sigh to a few people: "You really opened Qingshuang's eyes, how to describe it, Qingshuang now seems to have an illusion, we are not in the same world." If I have time, I really seem to talk to you about how wonderful your world will be. β
When he said this, Lang Qingshuang's eyes always stopped on the personable Liu Bolun, and Liu Bolun finally understood, because his eyes were full of love.
Lang Qingshuang is a rare talented woman in the world, she accepts new things quickly, and her words are appropriate, which makes people feel close, of course. This closeness is immune to the white donkey. After listening to her words, the white donkey sneered in his heart: What kind of sourness, can't you speak well?
But she was right. They really aren't a world.
I saw the white donkey smile and said: "Hey, sister, you are really talented, we are just a little trick, how can it be compared with the sister's connections, by the way, the previous ...... Didn't the king say he wanted to see you, why do you still have the time to talk to us, girl?"
It made a few people laugh. I saw that Qingshuang sighed, and then said gently: "Qingshuang's life is bitter." has its own dust, and for the livelihood of the dance troupe, it can only be bumpy and lingering on various wind and moon fields. If there is a choice, Qingshuang really wants to travel so freely with a few ordinary Hongchen. β
Others only said that Qingshuang is one of the best beauties today, but they don't know that there are countless sadness behind the benefactor of this happy scene, she was sold to Qinglou at a young age. The old bustard saw that she was a good seedling, so he deliberately cultivated it. Behind his beauty and talent, accompanied by countless harsh scolding, although he is now famous and sought after by royal families from all over the world, but the more books she reads, the more confused her heart becomes. But what about the future? What will happen to her when she is not old and gone?
So. When she saw Liu Bolun and others, she was immediately full of yearning for their lives, and only felt that this was a group of masters in the world, just like the legendary immortals, if, if possible, she even wanted to go with them, go to the world that ordinary people can't understand, and live that kind of free life.
And most importantly, she wants to be with Liu Bolun.
After listening to Qingshuang's words, several people did feel a little emotional about her life experience, accompanied by this troubled world, they have been in contact with three generations of Oiran, whether it is the chaste and strong red lady, or the ordinary old Lin Baoer, they all have an indescribable sad past, which they know in the world.
And Liu Bolun inevitably felt some pity in his heart after listening to the words of the green frost, so he sighed: "Actually, it's all the same, the world of our people may not be as beautiful as you think, maybe it's ..................."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a report from a small servant outside the door, saying that the king of the northern kingdom had invited the young lady to go and talk about it, and Qingshuang didn't go on, only to see that she smiled indifferently, and when she got up, her face returned to her usual look, she smiled and said: "Qingshuang is going to wear a mask to laugh with those boring people, but Qingshuang has time, and when it's okay, I will listen to you tell your story, by the way, you can also go with me, walk around this palace, maybe you can find beautiful plum blossoms?"
Everyone nodded, so they walked out of the door with him, it was already afternoon, the sky was gradually darkening, walking on the road, the braziers on both sides were exceptionally bright, as if the two factions were leading to the end of the stars, today the Qingshuang came to the palace, the monarch who was lazy and tired was one intended to please this beauty, and the other was also to show off, so a royal banquet was held in the palace, and the officials of the court were invited to drink and have fun together.
The palace is full of lights, this posture is more lively than the New Year, and this festive carnival will continue until after the king's birthday.
What is the significance of this activity? If half of the money used for this celebration were used to give to the people, how many poor people would be able to survive this cold winter? When I think of the little leaf that picked up beans on the street before, my heart is not happy.
"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and the royal wine stinks even more. Liu Bolun sighed: "It turns out that there is also wine in the world that I don't want to drink." β
His words were heard by the Qingshuang, who smiled sadly, and then sighed: "Who really wants to drink this kind of wine except those rotten skins?"
As he spoke, the dance troupe came to the outside of the main hall where the royal banquet was held, because the characters in the hall were all ministers of the royal family, so the inspection outside the hall was also indispensable, and the guards checked the props in the box one by one, only to hear a guard suddenly scolded: "Where are the mice?"
Xiao Bai was stunned, and in the darkness, she saw a black shadow running towards him on the ground, so she hurriedly squatted down, hid the mouse in her cuffs, and then raised her sleeves to her ears, and the mouse in the sleeves squeaked, and after listening to it twice, Xiao Bai's face changed color.
I saw that she quickly came to Shisheng's side, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Shisheng, these little grays have found that person." β
Shisheng sighed in his heart, and then hurriedly glanced at Liu Bolun and them, Liu Bolun and Li Hanshan understood, and hurriedly retreated to the crowd, only to see Xiaobai say to them in a deep voice: "That mouse just now told me, saying that they showed the person we were looking for, and he is very close to here now." β
"Where?" Shisheng couldn't help but ask.
Xiaobai pointed behind him with his thumb and said, "Right there, on the roof of this building." β
Now where they are is the king's banquet hall, and the mysterious man is on the roof of a six-story platform not far from the main hall!
After hearing the news, everyone raised their vigilance, their bodies were tense, and they were ready to fight at any time, but the current environment really did not allow the battle of 'spiritual power', although the new regime in the north was also a ** grass platform team, but after all, they were related to the safety of the people in the city, if these bastards died, the north country would fall into chaos again, which several people could not bear to see.
Moreover, the reason why the mysterious man chose to meet them here must be a bit of a cat compared to them, so a few people decided to keep quiet at that time, but sneak over to meet that guy and see what he wants to do!
Thinking of this, Liu Bolun hurriedly stepped forward and said to Na Lang Qingshuang that they were a little tired, so they didn't go to the temple with him to face the saint, and after listening to his previous words, Lang Qingshuang also said that a few people were arrogant and disdained this extravagant banquet in the palace, so she also responded, and wanted to send someone to send a few people back, Liu Bolun hurriedly refused, just let them go back by themselves.
Seeing that he insisted on doing so, Lang Qingshuang had no choice but to agree, and then took out the silver and dotted the guards, which allowed a few people to leave.
Seeing that the guards were about to finish the investigation, Shisheng told Xiaobai and Paper Kite that when they went to the top of the building, the three of them first found a place to hide and wait for them, because no one knew what was going to happen next, Xiaobai and Paper Kite responded, and they understood that now their strength could not help at all, and the only thing they had to do was to wait quietly behind a few people.
On the way back, two more guards escorted, after all, the palace could not trespass, so those two guards also played the role of 'supervision', but if they wanted to supervise a few people, these two martial artists were obviously not enough, even if they didn't use any Taoism, just with simple martial arts, Liu Bolun was enough to beat the eight of them.
So, when passing by the high building, when they went to a secluded place, Liu Bolun smashed the two guards into black eyes when he talked about the gourd, and after stunting them, Shisheng instructed Xiaobai and the paper kite again, and the three of them ran towards the building.
Very reluctant to see a few people leave, Xiaobai and Paper Kite were not idle, they dragged the unconscious guard into the grass, and then tried to find a place to hide and watch the changes, but who knows, when they just jumped out of the grass, they suddenly heard a shout from afar: "Who is there!?"
I saw a team of people and horses carrying lanterns coming towards this side, it seems that it should be the team of ministers who went to the banquet, the paper kite scolded secretly, and then hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My lord is blessed, the slaves and maids are the family members of the Qingshuang lady, and they are entrusted by the master to go back to the palace to take the props used in singing and dancing. β
"Are you singers?" the guard looked at them, then turned to report to the people in the sedan chair, and the officials in the sedan chair did not think much about it, so they ordered their men to continue on the road, while the three paper kites retreated to the side of the road to give way, wanting to wait for the group to pass before leaving.
But how did they think that it was this decision that led to even greater disasters.
Just when the sedan chair had just passed by the three people, an exclamation suddenly came from the sedan chair: "Stop the sedan chair!!"
The team of people and horses were all stunned, and the paper kite on the side of the road trembled violently after hearing this voice, after the sedan chair stopped, I saw a middle-aged man walk out of the sedan chair, the man looked at the paper kite, his face was full of incredulity, only to see him mutter: "Paper kite? is it you...... Is it really you?!" (To be continued......)
