A knife in love

Chapter 3001

Murong Danyan listened to the gray-clothed old man's words, and the more he listened, the more he felt strange and abnormal. He thought to himself that my sister Xiaoyu and I heard the story of Xue Gang's rebellion against Tang Dynasty in the teahouse of Dongliao County. It was really interesting.Although the stories told by this old guy are also related to Wu Zetian, but they are long-winded, circling around, full of weird things, far less exciting than the stories told by the storyteller.No wonder the people in the Central Plains look down on the Fusang people. These guys live on the island, their knowledge is shallow, their speech is confusing, and they are boring.

The old man in gray went on to say: "Seeing the appearance of the main hall, Bao Xi became more and more suspicious, and after entering the main hall, he felt the coldness inside the hall, as if entering ice water, the chill pierced his bones, and his body couldn't help shivering. At this time, he realized that the eight women in white clothes who had been walking on the left and right sides had disappeared. He was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look. It was already closed, but there was no sound at all. Bao Xi suddenly felt remorse in his heart, thinking that this place is so weird, I didn't know the heights of the world, and I broke in in a daze, if the master blamed it, disaster would be imminent.

"The woman in Chinese clothes stopped before she walked to the long couch. The court lady quickly walked to the right side of the long couch, took out a purple embroidered pier from the back of the long couch, and placed it respectfully beside the woman in Chinese clothes. She said in her mouth, please sit down, Zhaorong. The woman in fine clothes frowned, and said in her mouth, "You really don't know how important it is! Mr. Bao is the master's distinguished guest, so naturally Mr. Bao should be invited to sit first."

"The court lady trembled when she heard the stern voice of the woman in fine clothes, and hastily moved the embroidered pier to Bao Xi's side, asking Bao Xi to sit down. Bao Xiqian made a few words, and then sat down on the embroidered pier. Then A maid of honor moved over to another embroidered pier, and asked the woman in Chinese clothes to sit down, and she stood beside the woman in Chinese clothes with her hands down, with a very respectful expression.

"After Bao Xi sat down, he felt the chill on his body recede, so he breathed a sigh of relief. After the woman in the Chinese dress sat down, her eyes seemed to be closed, as if a monk had entered meditation. Bao Xi originally wanted to find out who the woman in the Chinese dress was. Who is it, but seeing her like this, naturally dare not speak up, so I can only sit on the embroidered pier patiently, with my mind full of thoughts and uneasy."

When Li Qiufeng heard the old man in gray say this, he thought to himself, although Bao Xi did not pass the examination, but he studied since he was a child, passed the examination as a scholar, and has extraordinary knowledge, how could he not know the story of Wu Zetian?Fangcai Huafu and others have already mentioned the Empress Dowager Zetian, but Bao Xi is still ignorant, isn't it strange? !
When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, the old man in gray continued to say: "I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I heard three crisp bells coming from the right. The woman in Chinese clothes suddenly opened her eyes, and immediately stood up from the embroidered pier. Get up. Bao Xi's heart trembled, and he also stood up hastily, turned his head to look to the right, and saw the court lady walking quickly to the left of the embroidered couch, bowing her body and bowing her head and standing there, not even daring to make a sound .

"Seeing this situation, Bao Xi's heart trembled, and he thought to himself that the master of the beautifully dressed woman would finally show up. Whether he will be able to succeed in his official career will soon be decided. Thinking of this, Bao Xi only felt His tongue was dry, his body trembled slightly, and he almost couldn't hold himself back. A moment later, a portal suddenly and silently appeared on the wall on the right, and a light shot out from the portal, shooting into the main hall. Bao Xi saw this situation, Only then did I realize that there was a hidden door in the wall, and a heart was raised in my throat again.

"Seeing the secret door opened, the woman in the Chinese dress hurried forward a few steps, and then stopped when she reached the secret door. The palace maid had already knelt down on the ground with her hands on the ground, not daring to move her body. After a while , I saw two eunuchs in brocade clothes walking in from the secret door, holding fly whisks in their hands, walking straight towards the hall without looking sideways.

"After the two eunuchs walked into the hall, two eunuchs followed behind them, but these two eunuchs did not hold dust whisks in their hands, but each held a small golden incense burner. Wisps of light smoke. After the two eunuchs holding incense appeared, two more eunuchs entered the hall through the secret door. These two eunuchs had neither dust whisks nor incense burners in their hands, but each held a brocade scroll. It has not been opened, so I don't know whether there are pictures or words written on the brocade scroll.

"Bao Xi was terrified when he saw these eunuchs with solemn expressions, one by one entering the hall through the secret door, and thought to himself that the clothes of these eunuchs were a hundred times more gorgeous than the eunuchs I saw on the stage in my hometown. The size of the hall is huge, and the master is served by eunuchs. Could it be that he is not an ordinary minister, but a prince here?!
"While Bao Xi was thinking, nine pairs of eunuchs entered the main hall. After entering the main hall, these eunuchs stood on the left and right sides of the long couch, facing each other without looking sideways, just like clay sculptures and wooden statues in the temple. Bao Xi was captured The eunuchs were overwhelmed by their aura, and stood there tremblingly, not even daring to make a sound.

"After the eighteen eunuchs stood still, another nine couples of court ladies entered the hall. These court ladies were handsome and luxuriously dressed. After entering the hall, they placed the tea trays and tea sets in their hands on the long table in front of the couch. Go up, then back a few steps, and stand in front of all the eunuchs with hands down.

"The women in Chinese clothes saw the eighteen maids standing back, and then they came to the secret door, as if they were going to greet someone. After a while, they saw two court ladies helping a man wearing a high crown into the hall. This man As soon as she appeared, the woman in fine clothes knelt down together with all the eunuchs and court ladies. In an instant, Bao Xi only felt that the hall seemed to be much shorter, and the figure of the man wearing the high crown seemed to grow taller.

"Bao Xi saw the beautifully dressed woman kneeling on the ground, but she didn't dare to move her body. She knew that the person who came must be the owner of this house, so she hurriedly bowed her body, clasped her fists with her hands, and hid her head between her arms. Dare to make a sound. He heard the ding ding dong dong sound from the impact of the jade pei, and knew that the man had walked from the secret door to the couch. Bao Xi held his breath, and his body trembled slightly.

"After a while, a strange fragrance came over, like the breath of lotus flower, and it was very refreshing to smell it. Bao Xi was in a state of surprise, and peeked forward, only to see that the person wearing the high crown had been supported by two maids to walk. In front of the long couch, he sat down slowly on the couch. Bao Xi didn't dare to look any more, and hid his head between his arms again. After a while, someone said slowly, you all get flat.

"After the man finished speaking, the lady in fine clothes stood up cautiously along with a group of court ladies and eunuchs. Bao Xi slightly raised his head and looked forward, and saw the man wearing the high crown sitting on the long couch, as if he was looking at himself. His heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head again, only using the corner of his eye to secretly observe the situation in the hall. The woman in Chinese clothes walked quickly to the long couch, stood beside the man wearing the high crown, and whispered a few words. After hearing this, the person wearing the high crown raised the corners of her mouth slightly, as if she was smiling, her teeth were as white as jade, but her face was mostly covered by the beads hanging from the high crown, so it was not clear whether her face was beautiful or ugly .”
