Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 438 438. Closed doors

Emperor Chen was in high spirits, and there was already fine wine at the banquet, so how could there be no wonderful dancing?
Then a group of palace dancers began to dance, each of them beautifully dressed, like flowers that attract wild bees and butterflies. They bloomed spontaneously, and their fragrance spread for ten miles, still carrying dewdrops, and they were particularly beautiful.

With dance, of course you need accompaniment.

Then bursts of music sounded in the hall, melodious and soothing, and the lingering sound was like hearing the sound of immortals.

This music, coupled with this wonderful dance, has an atmosphere of prosperity and prosperity, it can be said that singing and dancing are at peace!

Singing and dancing + banquets are Chen Huang's "way of hospitality" and the only way to entertain guests.

Zhu Xiuyuan ate his food and drank a glass of wine. He raised his eyes slightly, passing the dancing palace dancers, and finally landed on Emperor Chen and Concubine You.

There is no doubt that this palace dish is indeed unique.

Compared with the new dishes on his "Sou Zhen Mi Pu", each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is already one of the top delicacies in the world!
The palace wine was as good as its own, sweet, refreshing, fragrant and well-made. It was indeed much better than the wine Zhu Xiuyuan had drunk before.

Needless to say, the wonderful dances of the palace dancers, the dance and the music, it is quite a prosperous atmosphere. Emperor Chen was addicted to it, I am afraid there is a reason for coveting this prosperous atmosphere.

In other words, self-anesthesia.

Zhu Xiuyuan saw Emperor Chen slumped on the dragon chair, his eyes slightly closed, a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, his head swaying slightly to the music, one hand resting on his knees, gently beating the beat...

Concubine You, who was next to Emperor Chen, was also smiling, sitting peacefully, enjoying the prosperous atmosphere created by the palace dancers and the music, enjoying herself, as if the world today was really a prosperous world.

After a while, all the palace dancers finished dancing.

"Okay! Okay! Watch and enjoy!"

Emperor Chen high-fived and praised, Long Yan was overjoyed, and his laughter shook the roof of the hall.

Influenced by the "prosperous atmosphere" created by the dancers, Chen Huang's interest has also reached a peak.

Life is fun, that’s how it should be!
All the dancers thanked them and then exited the hall one after another.

"My beloved, what do you think of this dance? Is enjoying this dance a great pleasure in life?" Chen Huang drank a glass of wine and asked Zhu Xiuyuan there.

"Your Majesty, this dance is really wonderful, and the atmosphere in the prosperous world is nothing more than this!" Zhu Xiuyuan stood up and bowed: "But... no matter how wonderful this dance is, it is still far inferior to the Yushu backyard flowers newly composed by the imperial concubine. !”

As soon as Zhu Xiuyuan said these words, both Chen Huang and You Guifei were in high spirits, and the smiles on their faces could hardly be kept.

"Well...yes, yes, my concubine's jade tree and backyard flowers are the best in dancing."

Chen Huang's interest suddenly increased, and there was a kind of excitement like burning oil on his sallow face.

"My beloved concubine, can you dance with the jade tree and the flowers in the backyard again?" Chen Huang asked with a smile.

"Since Your Majesty wants to see it, I am naturally willing to do so. Your Majesty, please wait a moment and let me change my clothes and come back." Concubine You said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you here. My beloved, go and come back as soon as possible!"

"The concubine obeys!"

Concubine You stood up to say goodbye, and went back to change clothes with the support of the two maids.

In the Qin'an Palace, only Emperor Chen and Zhu Xiuyuan were left chatting about the romance and the moon, speaking freely, which made the emperor and his ministers happy.

However, most of the time it was Chen Huang who spoke alone, and Zhu Xiuyuan was only responsible for listening.

He pretended to be serious, instead of nodding, and occasionally asked a question...

He is now an excellent listener.

However... what Chen Huang "boasted" were basically his romantic affairs.

Including how he seduced and molested ladies when he was young.

After ascending the throne as an emperor, how to expand the harem and attract the beauties from all over the world?

In the end, he married Concubine You Gui, how did he greet her in the daytime, and how did he try all kinds of tricks to welcome her...

All kinds of romantic affairs, and even some secret palace affairs, etc., Chen Huang also "shaked" out, used them as "capital" to show off, and received Zhu Xiuyuan's "surprise, envy, and praise."

But Zhu Xiuyuan was already frightened. This Emperor Chen must be drunk.

How could a sane person "brag" to others about such a thing!
This Emperor Chen is really weird.

After a while, Concubine You returned. She had put on her dancing clothes and led a large group of dazzling palace dancers to start dancing in the hall.

The dance of the flowers in the backyard of Yushu began, and Chen Huang finally stopped bragging and watched it intently.

He drank while watching, but while drinking, his eyes did not leave the dancing Concubine You, so his drinking movements seemed a bit strange...

As for Zhu Xiuyuan, after he glanced at Concubine You Guifei among the dancers, he couldn't help but lowered his eyelids and withdrew his gaze.

Concubine You, who already has a heavenly appearance, becomes even more charming after putting on this slightly "transparent" and "leaky" dance outfit. It's really eye-catching!
Seeing this scene, Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help thinking of the crazy words that Kou Wanwan once said...

What did you say... Let him conquer Concubine You Gui, help him enjoy the pillow, and even give birth to monkeys for him...

Zhu Xiuyuan was immediately frightened. He did not dare to watch the dance of the flowers in the Yushu backyard and Concubine You surrounded by all the dancers.

……

at the same time.

Outside the noon gate.

The Meridian Gate is a gate into the Forbidden City. After passing this gate, you have entered the inner courtyard of the palace.

No ordinary person can enter this door.

For example, King Jinling.

Although he is the eldest son of Emperor Chen and a first-grade prince, he can freely enter and exit Chengtianmen and enter the scope of the imperial city.

However, when entering the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City, he could not enter or exit at will.

He had to give permission and Emperor Chen agreed before he could go in.

"This general, I would like to trouble you to report. This king has something to ask to see his father!" King Jinling casually cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I will go and report it immediately!" Jin Wuwei, who was guarding the Meridian Gate, did not hesitate. He returned the courtesy and went to report it.

Naturally, the Jinwu Guards officer cannot enter Qin'an Palace directly, unless he doesn't want his head anymore.

In fact, there was a dedicated person in the palace who was responsible for communicating the information, which had to be passed on through many layers, and finally reached the hands of Emperor Chen's personal eunuch.

After accepting the errand from Tongzhen, the eunuch entered Qin'an Hall through the side door.

He "turned a blind eye" to Concubine You who was dancing gracefully in the hall. He quickly and softly walked up the imperial steps, leaned close to Emperor Chen from the side, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the King of Jinling is asking for an audience outside the Meridian Gate."

Chen Huang had already been fascinated by it.

A pair of eyes can't wait to stick to Concubine You Gui, he doesn't even want to move his eyes away when drinking...

Therefore, Chen Huang just waved his hand casually.

It's probably about the same as swatting away a fly.

He didn't even look at the eunuch.

When the eunuch saw this, he immediately understood what Emperor Chen meant.

So he returned the same way, and after leaving Qin'an Hall, he went straight to the Meridian Gate to see the King of Jinling in person.

When King Jinling saw the little eunuch running towards him, he quickly arranged his clothes and prepared to enter the palace.

However, the little eunuch held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Your Majesty is busy. If Your Majesty is not in a hurry, please wait a moment..." The little eunuch gasped as he spoke.

"what?"

King Jinling was surprised. He stopped adjusting his clothes and his expression turned ugly.

He approached the young eunuch, lowered his voice and asked, "May I ask my father-in-law, what is my father... busy with?"

At the same time, a brilliant ingot of gold was stuffed into the little eunuch's hand.

The little eunuch didn't refuse, took it with a smile, and stuffed it into his sleeve very quickly.

"My lord, don't worry, your majesty is admiring the jade trees in the imperial concubine's backyard. Normally, at this time, your majesty won't see anyone!"

"Your Majesty, if you have something important to do, you can stay here for a while. After His Majesty finishes watching the dance, he should be summoned!" The little eunuch also lowered his voice.

"Hey...thank you father-in-law!"

"My lord is too polite..."

The little eunuch returned the same way, while King Jinling was waiting outside the Meridian Gate, becoming increasingly anxious.

"It's that witch again!" King Jinling muttered secretly: "All day long she danced or played music, and she fascinated my father..."

King Jinling secretly clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and continued to whisper: "You temptress, when I one day inherit the great treasure and ascend the throne, hehe, I will make you beg for mercy under my feet!"

Two quarters later.

King Jinling was really impatient to wait.

He guessed that the back garden flowers of Yushu should be gone.

Then he raised his hands to the Jinwu Guards guarding the Meridian Gate and said, "General, please excuse me. I have something to ask you to see my father!"

The Jinwu guard quickly returned the courtesy and said yes, turned around and passed on.

King Jinling looked at Jinwu Guard's retreating back and sighed heavily, but he had no choice but to wait here.

After half an hour.

It was the same little eunuch just now, trotting over in a hurry.

King Jinling was overjoyed. He straightened his clothes again and took a half-step. He was getting ready to enter the palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... His Majesty is still busy, and he asked Your Majesty to go back. Today, Your Majesty is nowhere to be seen!" the little eunuch said breathlessly.

"what!"

King Jinling stopped adjusting his clothes again. Deep in his heart, an unknown fire suddenly emerged.

However... he suppressed the nameless fire again and asked the young eunuch in a low voice: "Eunuch, what are you doing? Why don't you see me?"

With that said, another ingot of gold was put into the little eunuch's hand.

The little eunuch accepted it with a smile, and went over to say: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is discussing the method of drinking tea with Uncle Jiang Cheng. Your Majesty is enjoying what Uncle Jiang Cheng is talking about, and you don't want anyone to disturb you!"

"Uncle Jiang Cheng! Zhu Xiuyuan?"

King Jinling was stunned for a moment, his eyes as big as copper bells.

Then, two clusters of blazing flames burst out from the depths of his eyes.

"Uncle Jiang Cheng! Zhu Xiuyuan!" King Jinling read again, gritting his teeth and the corners of his mouth twitching.

The purpose of King Jinling's visit to the palace to see Emperor Chen was to show Zhu Xiuyuan's unhappiness, persuade Emperor Chen to cancel the military examination, and severely punish Zhu Xiuyuan...

However, Zhu Xiuyuan was also in the palace!

Still discussing with Chen Huang how to drink tea...

The fire of ignorance burst out in King Jinling's heart again, and it suddenly rose dozens of feet high!
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!" The little eunuch took people's money to eliminate disasters for them, and looked around nervously: "Your Majesty, Uncle Jiang Cheng is favored now. He is a famous person beside His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine. He is so powerful. My lord must not..."

"I understand, thank you for your advice, father-in-law." In an instant, all the anger in King Jinling's heart disappeared, and he became depressed.

"But Your Majesty, according to our opinion, Your Majesty is just in a high mood for the moment, so he doesn't want to see anyone. However, if Your Majesty is really in a hurry, you might as well wait a while longer." The young eunuch suggested.

"Thank you for your advice, father-in-law!" King Jinling's eyes lit up, and his fighting spirit was rekindled.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome..." The little eunuch returned.

King Jinling continued to wait outside the Meridian Gate.

"Zhu Xiuyuan! This calamity star!" King Jinling gritted his teeth secretly and muttered: "When this king ascends to the throne, you will be the first person to be killed! Humph, I'll allow you to be proud for a while!"

King Jinling was walking back and forth outside the Meridian Gate, with many thoughts in his mind and his complexion fluctuating.

"Template, Zhu Xiuyuan..." King Jinling thought silently in his heart: "Both of these two people must die! If Zhu Xiuyuan is the case, just behead his whole family, leaving no one alive!"

"As for that temptress..." King Jinling showed an evil smile, and he couldn't help but secretly swallowed his saliva: "Although that temptress has a heart of snakes and scorpions and is extremely vicious, but... she can be regarded as a person who can conquer a country and a city, so wait. After I get tired of playing with her, it won’t be too late to kill her!”

"Father is so confused. First he was deceived by that temptress, and now he listened to Zhu Xiuyuan's slanderous words..." King Jinling gritted his teeth: "Father, I am your biological son! Since ancient times, father and son have been the closest. But Father, you..."

King Jinling looked at the towering Meridian Gate, the cold city wall, and the soldiers guarding the Meridian Gate...

He wanted to cry but had no tears in his heart!
About half a quarter of an hour passed with such random thoughts.

The King of Jinling asked the Jinwu guards for the third time to report on his behalf.

While waiting anxiously, the little eunuch appeared again.

"Eunuch, how is the situation?" King Jinling hurriedly approached.

"Hey, Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty is playing a game with the Imperial Concubine and Uncle Jiang Cheng... it seems to be called... something like 'Fighting Corrupt Officials'... His Majesty is in a very high mood and says that he doesn't want to see anyone, so he should go back!" The little eunuch answered truthfully.

"Yet again……"

The King of Jinling murmured, his heart was complicated and unspeakable, and the two emotions of nameless fire and loss were entangled together.

Now he wanted to rush into the palace desperately, shake Chen Huang's shoulders, and ask loudly: "I am your biological son, and you actually didn't see your biological son because you were having fun with outsiders! Three times, this This is the third time you have asked to see me! Am I your biological son..."

call!
King Jinling took a deep breath and suppressed all the emotions in his heart.

He handed over another ingot of gold and forced a smile on his face: "Eunuch, do you think this king...can I still see my father today?"

"Yes!" The little eunuch accepted the gold with a smile, "As the saying goes, sincerity leads to gold and stone. If you persist, Your Majesty, your Majesty will definitely be moved."

"Furthermore, according to our secret observation, Your Majesty is already a little tired after playing for half a day. Your Majesty will finish playing soon. When the time comes, your Majesty will ask for an audience again, and Your Majesty will naturally grant it."

"Thank you, Eunuch, for your guidance!" King Jinling thanked him.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome..." The little eunuch returned.

As expected, King Jinling continued to wait outside the Meridian Gate, waiting for the opportunity, but he was even more anxious than before.

At the same time, the hatred for Concubine You and Zhu Xiuyuan deepened.

The punishment he envisioned for Zhu Xiuyuan and Concubine You also changed.

"Zhu Xiuyuan, it would be too easy for this disaster star to behead his whole family. No, he must be cut into pieces with a thousand swords. Only in this way can I appease my anger today!"

"As for that temptress... After this king gets tired of playing with her, he will build a brothel just for her. Hehe, let her be ridden by thousands of people and crotch by ten thousand people..."
