Chapter 213 Shuangfei Douyan! Bigan presents a robe to pick a star building
Chapter 213 Two concubines compete for beauty! Bigan presents his robe to Zhaixing Tower
It was almost winter, with dense clouds and a biting wind, making me feel the air-conditioning.
The emperor, Daji and Shang Qingjun watched the singing and dancing in the palace on the roof of the Star Building, burned a big red stove, drank strong wine, and did not feel the chill. Daji on the left of the emperor, and Shang Qingjun on the right, hugged each other, and they were very happy.
Daji looked particularly charming. From time to time, she flirted with the emperor in front of Shang Qingjun, and her body also contained subtle and seductive teases. Facing such a beauty, the emperor could not control himself, and his hands began to move on her body.
By teasing some sensitive parts, Daji was well versed in the art of seduction. She was not completely at his mercy, but deliberately refused to welcome him, making the emperor's desire blazing.
Shang Qingjun turned a blind eye, always maintaining a confident smile on his face, not making any unnecessary movements, and obediently pouring wine for the emperor from time to time. When the emperor occasionally flirted with her or kissed her, Shang Qingjun showed a shy expression, even
It is touching. Compared with Daji's "movement", her "quietness" is not inferior.
Seeing that she couldn't outdo Shang Qingjun, Daji came up with another idea and went out to perform the dance herself. At that time, Gunzi tapped the sandalwood board, and Daji began to sing and dance. She had a beautiful appearance, a slim waist, and a soft singing rhythm that matched the length of her colorful dress.
The skirt was like a light cloud swaying in the wind, or tender willows blowing in the water of a pond. Looking at it, Zhang Zixing secretly praised in his heart: This enchantress is indeed a beauty of a generation.
After Daji finished dancing, she returned to her seat. Zhang Zixing made a show of cherishing her and hugged her over: "My beloved concubine's dance, even a fairy from Yaochi, should be compared to her! It's just that it's cold and windy today, so be careful, don't do it."
Caught in the cold."
Daji smiled sweetly, but glanced at Shang Qingjun demonstratively: "Thank you for your concern, your majesty. Your majesty's arms are as hot as the sun. I feel warm both physically and mentally here, so how can I catch a cold?"
Facing Daji's demonstration, Shang Qingjun smiled calmly and said to Zhang Zixing: "Your Majesty, I have recently learned an ancient piece of music called "Three Plum Blossoms". I would like to present it to Your Majesty and ask Daji's sister Yazheng."
Zhang Zixing nodded and said: "I heard that Concubine Rui once asked the Imperial Master for advice, and she is very knowledgeable in the ancient flute technique of "Le Pian", which is a real blessing!"
When Daji heard that Shang Qingjun actually asked Xiaoyaozi for music skills, she felt a sense of jealousy in her heart, but on the surface she cooperated and said, "I would like to hear my sister's wonderful voice."
Shang Qingjun walked out Yingying and stood in the middle of the field. The palace maid at the side presented a jade flute. She saluted the emperor from a distance, held the flute in both hands, and began to play.
The "Three Plum Blossoms" played by Shang Qingjun is one of the famous ancient Chinese songs. The music is long, quiet and continuous. With the cyclic changes of the flute sound, the listener seems to be watching the noble and serene static of the plum blossoms, and also as if
Seeing the plum blossoms swaying in the wind despite the severe cold, I couldn't help but be immersed in this sublime realm.
After the song ended, it took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses. Zhang Zixing stood up, got down from his seat in person, took Shang Qingjun's hand and returned to the banquet, praising: "What a plum blossom three-song, this song is the sound of nature.
No one can compare!”
Shang Qingjun said sheepishly: "Your Majesty is ridiculous. If it weren't for your Majesty's book "Rites and Music", how could I have learned this skill? After all, it is your Majesty's contribution."
Zhang Zixing smiled and said: "Not all the musical instruments in "Rites and Music" are original creations of mine, many of them are obtained from collecting historical materials from ancient people. If we talk about carrying them forward, it must be the national teacher Xiaoyaozi. His attainments in musical instruments are even among the few.
Far from it. This piece of music is exquisite and unparalleled. If it can be played with the national master Yaoqin, it will be the best song in the world!"
Daji also had to admit that Shang Qingjun's song was indeed superb. Even she could only accept the inferiority. When she heard the duet with Xiaoyaozi, she became even more jealous and couldn't help but say: "Sister Qingjun is the imperial concubine."
If my body is to perform in concert with the imperial master, I'm afraid it will be inconsistent with the etiquette."
Shang Qingjun glanced at Daji, slightly surprised. Daji's words were really a disgrace to the emperor. She usually had scheming plans and always spoke with tact, so why did she suddenly lose her calculations now?
Zhang Zixing knew that Daji was trying to win favor, so he didn't take it seriously. He nodded casually, but he still didn't forget to turn around and praise Shang Qingjun: "My beloved concubine is really good at playing the flute!"
Shang Qingjun saw the winking "obscene" expression on his face, and immediately understood the other meaning of his words. He was so embarrassed that he didn't care to think about Daji's affairs, and lowered his head with a blush on his face.
Zhang Zixing saw her shy and charming look, which was a hundred times stronger than Daji's deliberate flattery. He couldn't help but feel real desire in his heart. He held Shang Qingjun in his arms and said with a smile: "It's almost winter now, by then we can step out."
When the snow is looking for plum blossoms, wouldn't it be nice to have my beloved concubine play the flute?"
Shang Qingjun's eyes lit up when he heard the four words "walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms". He looked up and saw his narrow eyes emphasizing "playing the flute". He felt even more shy and said: "Today's fun, your majesty, why don't you recite a poem with plum blossoms as the title?"
First? Your Majesty’s literary talent is the best in the world. You can write a poem in ten steps.”
"You little youngster, you actually deliberately raised a difficult problem and wanted to take a small revenge on your husband?" Zhang Zixing used Xuan Gong and whispered in her heart, "What are ten steps? With your husband's talents, you can trust him at your fingertips.
.If your husband does it, you can brag for him..."
Before he could finish his whisper, he was interrupted by Shang Qingjun's gentle pinch. Faced with his big bad wolf-looking eyes, Shang Qingjun finally couldn't resist and nodded with a blushing face.
A certain wolf was so happy that he immediately recited a poem: Beside the broken bridge outside the post, I was lonely and without an owner. It was already dusk and I was sad alone, and there was more wind and rain. I had no intention of struggling for spring, and I was jealous of all the flowers. I scattered them into mud and crushed them into dust, only
The fragrance remains the same.
This is exactly "Bu Suanzi: Ode to the Plum Blossoms" written by Lu You, a famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was also one of Yu Xian's favorite poems during his lifetime. Now it just happened to be "picked up" by a guy who ignored intellectual property rights. Only Shang Qingjun heard it.
Her eyes were shining, and even Daji was entranced.
At this time, the chamberlain came to report that the Prime Minister wanted to enter the palace and offer something to the emperor.
Zhang Zixing's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he nodded and said, "Xuan Bigan comes to Zhaixing Tower to meet you."
Daji saw Zhang Zixing and Shang Qingjun looking affectionate and reciting poems for her. To ease her own predicament, Daji immediately praised: "Your Majesty, this poem has a wonderful artistic conception, and it can be said that it complements Sister Qingjun's previous poem "Three Plum Blossoms".
, it can be called a double masterpiece. It is a pity that I am not good at dancing, otherwise I would have danced with Qingjun's sister's flute, and I would have lived up to His Majesty's wonderful words."
This is a lyric, not a poem, okay? It’s terrible to be uneducated... Zhang Zixing muttered in his heart, but smiled on his face and said: "My beloved, why should you belittle yourself? Your dancing skills are also unparalleled in the world. If Qingjun's flute is as good as that of others,
Poetry is a double masterpiece, and my concubine’s dancing skills can be regarded as three unique skills.”
Daji received his praise, and the smile on his face became even more charming. She personally served him wine and fed him to drink. At this time, Bigan had already arrived at the Zhaixing Tower in response to the imperial edict. He entered the palace and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, Bigan, you two ladies.
"
Zhang Zixing motioned the two concubines to sit down and said to Bigan: "It's a day of rest now. The emperor's uncle is not drinking wine in the mansion to keep out the cold, but he came to see you. I wonder what business he has to do?"
Bigan said: "Your Majesty is not here on official business to disturb your Majesty's pleasure. It's just because the Zhaixing Tower is close to the sky. It's almost severe winter. I'm worried about your Majesty's body getting cold, so I specially present a rare robe and coat to keep you warm from the cold." Drive away the cold and make me feel a little sad."
Zhang Zixing praised: "The emperor is old and should be kept for his own use. Now that he is with me, he is a sign of loyalty and love!"
Bigan ordered his servants to present a red plate, in which was placed a large cloak. The outside was bright red and the inside was full of fur. Bigan shook it open with his own hands, stepped forward and stood up with Zhang Zixing to put it on. Zhang Zixing was wearing this The robe turned around in a circle and it felt very good. He asked Shang Qingjun and Daji: "My dear concubines, what do you think of this robe?"
Shang Qingjun smiled and said: "It's a perfect fit, and it's majestic and has the air of a king."
Zhang Zixing added another sentence to Shang Qingjun's comment in his heart: The tiger's body shook, and the aura of domineering king came out.
But Daji suddenly turned pale, and even her body started to tremble slightly, her eyes fixed on the robe.
Daji's performance was already within Zhang Zixing's expectation, and he wondered: "Why does my beloved concubine suddenly look like this? Could it be that she is feeling unwell?"
Daji felt something was wrong when Bigan took out this robe. When she took a closer look, she saw that it was indeed the furs of those fox tribes in Xuanyuan Tomb. More relevant than Gan!
Seeing the emperor wearing the furs of her "descendants", Daji felt pain in her heart, but she couldn't say it out loud, so she could only reply: "I may have caught some cold when I danced for your majesty just now, so I can just rest by the fire for a while." It doesn’t matter. Just as Sister Qingjun said, your majesty’s robe really fits you very well.”
When the emperor heard that both concubines said the benefits of this robe, he was immediately delighted and praised it: "This robe is warm and comfortable, and it is indeed different from ordinary fur! I am the emperor, rich all over the world, but I don't have this robe to keep out the cold. Today's emperor's uncle's contribution , There is so much in this world! I just don’t know where the emperor’s furs came from?”
Bigan replied: "This robe is made of fox fur. Most of them are foxes that are thousands of years old or hundreds of years old. They were collected by my subordinates and carefully interwoven by skilled craftsmen. It has the ability to keep out the cold, so it is extremely rare."
When Daji heard this, she felt like a knife cutting out her lungs, burning her liver and intestines, biting her silver teeth into pieces: "Old thief Bigan! It turns out you are the one who ruined the lives of my descendants! Even though my descendants are monsters, they are cultivating in Xuanyuan Tomb, and you What's this old thief doing? If I don't disembowel you and gouge out your heart, I won't survive!"
The emperor liked this robe and coat very much, and he immediately drank from the cup with Bigan. Bigan drank three large cups in a row without changing his expression. He said goodbye to the emperor, thanked him and left.
Zhang Zixing sat down wearing this red robe and said to Daji: "My dear concubine, this robe is very warm. You happen to be suffering from the cold. Come here and I will put it on for you to keep out the cold."
Daji forced a smile and walked over and said: "I have a foolish opinion, I wonder if your majesty can accommodate it? Your majesty has the body of a dragon, how can you wear this fox fur? It is not safe to do it, it is very disrespectful."
But Zhang Zixing shook his head and said: "My beloved, what you said is wrong! In the past winters, mink fur and animal skins were all worn, so how can I say that it is disrespectful? What's more, this is the skin of a thousand-year-old fox. It is a rare beast and is really rare. Yes, I feel sorry for you!"
Daji couldn't explain it clearly, so she had to knock out her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. Soon after, Daji resigned and left midway, claiming she was "unwell".
After the incident, Da Ji tried her best to harm Bigan, but Bigan was an uncle of the royal family and held a high position as prime minister, so he was deeply trusted by the emperor. She was so anxious that she could do nothing.
Zhang Zixing knew what she was thinking, and "suddenly" remembered what she had said before about a beautiful adopted sister in front of her, intentionally or unintentionally. Daji changed her mind and said that this adopted sister was named Ximei.
After leaving Chaoge, he practiced with an expert and did not stay at Chaoge.
As Daji expected, when the emperor heard that Ximei was a practitioner, he immediately became interested and asked many specific questions. Daji revealed the beauty of this sister in a very subtle way, and mentioned that Ximei herself
He grew up with her and had a deep relationship with her. They were once sworn to be a husband. Unfortunately, Ximei didn't have the opportunity to meet the emperor last time and is currently practicing in a distant place.
The emperor hurriedly asked if there was any way to contact him, and Daji's answer was that Ximei was proficient in the art of the five elements and had left a letter incense for contact, but currently Ximei was at a critical juncture in her cultivation and could not be contacted temporarily.
Seeing Zhang Zixing's disappointed look, Daji smiled and said to him that after a while, as long as she contacted Ximei, she would definitely invite her to come to Chaoge again. Then the sisters would work together to serve the emperor and fulfill their long-cherished wish.
Zhang Zixing was very satisfied with Daji's answer and looked overjoyed. He stayed in Shouxian Palace that night and had a long and affectionate relationship with Daji.
In fact, this was his plan to lure out the nine-headed pheasant spirit. Now the killings have begun. Although the dog-rong rebellion has been calmed down, the great merchants will still be unable to escape the disaster of turmoil and war. He does not want to waste too much energy on the nine-headed pheasant spirit.
As for the supporting role of the pheasant chicken spirit, I don’t want to waste my precious time playing the wait-and-see game with her.
Since Ximei never showed up, Zhang Zixing took the initiative. In the original book, in order to avenge Xuanyuan Tomb, Daji lured Ximei to come and achieve good things with King Zhou. Later, Daji pretended to be ill, and King Zhou listened to Ximei's wishes.
With Mei's words, Bigan was ordered to cut his heart to cure Daji.
Zhang Zixing had been waiting for Ximei for a long time, so he used this trick according to the original work. Daji hated the fox fur when she saw it. When Zhang Zixing mentioned Ximei, Daji was really moved. Of course, now Zhang Zixing
Using Bigan as bait to attract Ximei is naturally not for beauty, but to completely eliminate this scourge.
In the next few days, Daji has been secretly contacting Ximei. She does not use any incense, but a translucent mirror. This mirror is called a developing mirror, and it is the magic weapon that Ximei left for her last time.
This mirror has two sides. The other side is in the hands of Ximei. It can realize remote image and call functions on the mirror like a video phone. However, it requires the support of magic power. Once one of the two holders fails,
When the call cannot be kept.
Finally, a smiling face appeared on the developing mirror: "Sister, my little sister was recovering from her injuries the day before yesterday and just recovered today, so she is unable to respond. Why is my sister so anxious to summon me?"
