Dongjue sent Princess Yunduo to Kyoto, and everyone knew his intention, but he didn't say it openly. Chu Miaoer stood behind the Queen Mother, blinking at Fu Yunqi, the happiness inadvertently revealed in his eyebrows made Al Yun's pupils
Shrink.
The Queen Mother did not expect that Al Yunduo would be so frank. She had never dared to speak to her like this in the palace, but she found it a bit novel and said yes three times in a row.
"I heard that Dongjue women are good at dancing and are enjoying themselves today. I wonder if I'm lucky enough to do so." Fu Deyou suggested with a smile. It wasn't that he meant to make things difficult, but he had long heard that Dongjue women could dance after they were born in their mother's womb, especially
This Princess Yunduo has long been famous. Now that I have the opportunity this time, I naturally want to take a look.
Several people present looked at each other, knowing that the emperor's words were inappropriate, but they did not dare to contradict him. Chu Qianqian had been embarrassed just now, and now she was unwilling to persuade him. Only the Queen Mother spoke out.
"Your Majesty," the Queen Mother frowned and persuaded softly, "if you want to watch the dance, a dancer will perform it. Princess Yunduo has come all the way, so there are no rules for dancing here." The implication of the Queen Mother was that Al Yunduo's dance was against the rules.
After all, Al Yunduo is also the treasured pearl of Dongjue Khan. In terms of status and status, he is on an equal footing with the queen. He cannot dance in front of the ministers. Chu Miaoer turned to look at Fu Deyou, his face looked the same, and he did not look like he was drunk.
To save people's trouble, how could he say such a thing and arouse everyone's suspicion.
"Your Majesty wants to hear it, of course Yunduo is willing to dance." It was not a difficult task at first. I don't know why they looked so embarrassed. Al Yunduo responded calmly, then stood up and called to Al Yunna, "Brother, come and play the drum for me.
!”
What the Dongjue people are best at is "drumming", that is, dancing and drumming are integrated into one. But now, at a glance, there are no tambourines around, so who would carry a drum with them.
"Ning'er has learned some drumming, why not let Ning'er come and cheer for Princess Yunduo." A gentle and soft voice sounded, like a trickling stream, extremely sweet. Everyone looked up, and then noticed this person behind the Queen Mother.
A tall and tall woman.
Chu Miaoer was slightly surprised. According to her status, Xu Ning was already a candidate for the quasi-Crown Princess and the future Queen of the Kingdom of Jin. She was more noble than Al Yunduo. Now that she said she was willing to accompany her, she didn't say anything.
The emperor's face was given to Al Yunduo again, and it was really handled just right.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother also glanced at Chu Qianqian, unable to hide her satisfaction with the Crown Princess, but she calmly ordered: "Yuling, go find the tambourine quickly."
Almost no one in Kyoto knows how to play the tambourine. Where can I find one at this moment? Yu Ling, who has always been calm, rarely showed embarrassment.
"No, Queen Mother," Xu Ning stepped forward under everyone's gaze, elegantly picked up the gold spoon in the teacup, and smiled slightly, "Ning'er, just use this."
"This?!" The Queen Mother was slightly surprised, not knowing that such a small spoon could also be used to play music.
"She is right. In Dongjue, we can use whatever we have at hand to make musical instruments. It does not necessarily have to have a drum." Al Yunduo may have been spoiled in Dongjue, and he did not show any condescension to the Queen Mother, so he rushed
Xu Ning raised her chin and said, "You go first."
This Princess Yunduo has a bold temperament. If she really stays in the palace, she can be regarded as a living treasure. Then the concubines in the palace will not be afraid of boring life in the palace in the future.
Chu Qianqian frowned slightly and was about to speak but was stopped by the Queen Mother. They sat in a circle around the stone table, waiting for the music and dance to merge into one, but Chu Miaoer did not want to be in the limelight at this time and quietly retreated to the side.
After the gold spoon collided on the stone table, it made a crisp sound. The rhythm was fast and slow, cheerful and enthusiastic, and it sounded enthusiastic.
Al Yunduo's hands were gently raised to the beat of the drums, dancing in the air. When rotating, he raised his sleeves, as light as snowflakes, and like grass dancing in the wind, bringing countless delicate petals to fly between the sky and the earth.
Completely different from the weak women in Kyoto. Al Yunduo's dance is sometimes vigorous and powerful, sometimes weak and boneless, intentionally or unintentionally revealing her flawless waist that cannot be grasped, which makes people's blood rush.
Fu Yunqi took advantage of others not paying attention, quietly stretched out his hand, pulled Chu Miao'er to him, leaned over and said in her ear: "Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired." Chu Miao'er smiled and shook his head. Seeing that everyone else was watching Al Yunduo dance intently, he asked in a low voice, "I heard that the Queen Mother said that the Second Prince is on his way back to Beijing. Do you know where they are?
Already?"
"Miss you sister Huyin?" Fu Yun expected her eyes to be full of doting.
Chu Miaoer nodded lightly, and after careful consideration in his mind, he replied: "It's been more than two months since they left, so naturally they miss them very much."
"It should be soon. My second brother sent a letter yesterday, saying that they have arrived in Xiling."
It was only a few days' drive from Xiling to Kyoto. Thinking of seeing Huyin again soon, Chu Miaoer couldn't help but smile.
"That's great." When she tilted her head and smiled at Fu Yunqi, the smile on her profile was extremely bright, the corners of her lips were filled with the bright color of dark flowers in bloom, and the air seemed to be floating with fragrance.
While she was happy, she suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill coming from behind her. Chu Miaoer shivered slightly and subconsciously turned her head to look for the source of the chill. But looking around, she found that everyone was smiling.
The look is the same.
Could it be that there was something wrong with his intuition? Chu Miaoer couldn't help but lean into Fu Yunqi's arms.
And Al Yunna looked into the pavilion, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but upon closer inspection, there was no smile at all in his pair of deep eyes, only a cold chill, but there was a hint of arrogant smile at the corners of his lips.
Al Yunduo spun faster and faster amidst the rapid percussion, and it was difficult to distinguish her facial features in her constant spinning movements.
The music stopped for a moment, and Al Yunduo stood firmly in place, with his chin raised high and his face full of pride: "How well can Yunduo dance?"
Fu Deyou was still satisfied with the sight, and the hot body was still circling in his mind, so he didn't care about her rudeness at all, he put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "Princess Yunduo dances very well——"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Al Yunduo's face was radiant and unabashedly arrogant. He turned to Xu Ning and nodded gently to her.
All the women present cast envious glances. Al Yunduo's boldness and enthusiasm were beyond their imagination. Xu Ning was somewhat flattered by her politeness.
The Queen Mother looked at the beautiful woman thoughtfully, thinking secretly in her heart. After everyone left, she left Fu Deyou alone.
"Your Majesty, what do you think Dongjue's purpose is in sending Al Yunduo here?"
Fu Deyou turned around and found a stone bench to sit on. His movements seemed casual, but a flash of calculation flashed in his eyes: "Of course he wants to have something to do with my country, the Great Jin Kingdom."
"The Ai family thinks so too." The Queen Mother nodded lovingly. "The Queen Mother," Fu Deyou asked tentatively, "What are your plans for her?
"The Ai family saw her today and felt that her temperament and Yan Shuo were the same, and they were a perfect match," the Queen Mother said with a smile. "For so many years, he has only been served by Ye Zhiqiu. Although the two of them have always respected each other as guests and never had any conflicts, they have also
The Ai family is very sorry that they were unable to add a boy and a half to the royal family."
Seeing that the emperor's expression was calm and silent, she continued: "So the Ai family thought, how about giving her to Yan Shuo?"
It's not that the Queen Mother doesn't like Ye Zhiqiu, but as the second princess who spends all her time raising flowers and planting grass, she has no interest in it. She obviously doesn't take the inheritance of the family line seriously, so how can this be done?
"But Queen Mother," Fu Deyou just looked at her and said with a smile, "As far as I know, my second brother has always had a confidante named 'Huyin', and he has a very deep relationship. You rashly granted him a marriage. Second brother
That person is used to having his way, so I'm afraid he won't agree."
"Oh, so what if he doesn't agree," the Queen Mother pretended to be sullen and glanced at the emperor, "The Ai family are considered his mother-in-law after all, so how can they harm him?"
"Of course the queen will not. I will wait until the second brother returns to the palace before mentioning it to him." Seeing that she was a little unhappy, Fu Deyou quickly added, "Don't let the second brother have any resentment because of women."
She was speaking so grandly at the moment. She didn't seem to have any guilt when she robbed her son's wife. The Queen Mother looked at the emperor in front of her. Although she was thinking secretly in her heart, she didn't want to bring up the old things again. She just nodded and told him thousands of times.
Wan remember this.
The sun was setting over the western mountains, and the sky was filled with red clouds. Fu Deyou walked slowly along the gravel path without saying a word. Behind him, Eunuch Cao followed closely and tightened his lips.
"Your Majesty—" Eunuch Cao called softly. Seeing that he didn't respond, he called a few more times.
Finally, Fu Deyou stopped in response, turned around and asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
Eunuch Cao walked forward quickly, with a flattering smile on his wrinkled face: "Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the cards."
Fu Deyou came back to his senses when he saw his hands holding a bright plate with signs neatly placed inside.
"Go to Yang Guiren's place." Fu Deyou's enchanting figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and he replied calmly, "Send someone to tell Concubine Xue that I won't go there tonight."
"But Xia He from Lingxuan Hall, it was only at noon that-"
"I can go wherever I want, why," Fu Deyou shouted in a deep voice unhappily, "You still want to comment?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare," Eunuch Cao responded immediately. He handed the tray to a young eunuch tremblingly, turned around and said with a smile, "I will send someone to Lingxuan Palace right now."
"etc!"
Eunuch Cao lowered his head and stayed where he was, quietly waiting for instructions.
"If Concubine Xue asks," Fu Deyou paused and then said, "Just say that I am hosting the young Khan Dongjue and cannot be separated. Do you understand?"
I am used to seeing ordinary women pretending to be reserved. When I saw Al Yunduo's dancing today, I remembered that Yang Guiren, who was born as a maid in the harem, was also very enthusiastic. Chu Xianxue was charming, but after all, she was the apple of a wealthy family. For a certain
I still can't let go of these things, unlike this Yang Gui man who is so bold.
He vaguely remembered that the last time he went to Yang Guiren's place was a year ago, but now he could think of her charming eyes and wandering fingers. Thinking of this, Fu Deyou couldn't help but speed up his pace.
