Chapter 478 Punishment Kneeling and Ribbons

The palace luncheon in Guanghan Palace was as expected when Zhao Rong came.

There was a long dining table and a wide variety of dishes, many of which he couldn't remember the names of.

The Dugu family, Zhao Rong and the young emperor sat down, and they were far apart, strictly observing etiquette.

But Zhao Rong still didn't see what Dugu Clan looked like, even this time it was not as good as last time in the mourning hall, where he could see the figure of the widow above.

This time, she didn't even show her figure, hiding behind heavy curtains.

But Zhao Rong heard Fang Dugu's tone behind the curtain, and she should be quite surprised and delighted by his initiative.

The reason is self-evident.

It seems that in order to avoid suspicion, not only the three of them had a banquet, but the Dugu family also invited Zhang Huizhi and other civil officials and Confucian scholars to sit with them.

Ever since, Zhao Rong ate a formal palace banquet rather boringly.

During the banquet, most of them followed the Confucian etiquette of eating without talking, and Dugu's occasional warm-up remarks also followed the pattern of questioning and answering between monarchs and ministers.

While eating, Zhao Rong counted the number of times the figure of the woman behind the curtain wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

For every dish in front of her, she only holds one chopstick, chews each chopstick eight to ten times, and then she will put down the chopsticks and reach out, take the handkerchief handed over by the girl on the side, wipe the corners of her mouth, and then take it again A new pair of chopsticks for the next dish.

Zhao Rong nodded, muttered something in his heart, and then he didn't look at it too much, just occasionally looked at the little emperor Li Wangque.

Since the little emperor came to his mother's place, he became obedient and quiet all of a sudden, he also abided by etiquette when eating, and never looked around.

After two sticks of incense, the luncheon ended.

"Mr. Zhao and you gentlemen, do you have some leisure time? After dinner, go to the back garden for a stroll, and enjoy the chime music and dance of my Dali court by the way?"

Behind the curtain, the hazy figure put the handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and Qingyin asked.

For this kind of invitation, all the people present are scholars, so of course they can't agree. Well, at least now that there are so many people, we can't be the first to agree.

Zhao Rong, Zhang Huizhi and others looked at each other, shook their heads and refused.

The little emperor on the side looked slightly regretful, but the young man didn't dare to say anything, he bowed his head obediently, as if he was afraid that the widow queen above him would notice him and keep him.

Dugu didn't insist upon hearing the words, and after a few polite words, he let Zhao Rong and others go.

After leaving Guanghan Palace, Zhao Rong exchanged pleasantries with Zhang Huizhi and others, and then they separated.

Before the latter left, he mentioned the matter of drinking in his spare time, and Zhao Rong agreed with a chuckle.

"Mr. Zhao, why didn't you agree to the queen mother's invitation just now? The singing and dancing in the palace is a must from the ground, and our dance from the ground is the best on the mountain in the north of Wangque. See, sir, have you heard of it before?
"However, the slender beauties who are the most good at singing and dancing are all in the Lefang Division and the court, and they are all around the queen mother, and outsiders generally can't see them,"

Zhao Rong thought for a while, then nodded, "I heard Brother Yiwu mentioned something."

Following Zhao Rong's example, the little emperor rolled his sleeves and walked side by side with him.

At this time, he let out a long sigh like a little adult, and said with regret on his face:
"Although I have become the emperor, my mother seldom touches these things, and the sisters of the Lefang Division never perform in front of me, like Sister Dougao, who supervises my homework every time... Mr. Zhao, it was so rare just now It's a pity that you turned down the opportunity."

When the little emperor called himself himself in front of Zhao Rong, he rarely used titles like Zhen or Gu now.

Uh, you also want to rub it, so you feel sorry for me, right?Hearing what you said, if it weren't for the need to "see your heart and nature" these days, I would have to go to see and see, and meet your slender beauties who are far away from the court for a while...

Zhao Rong blinked.

He frowned suddenly, stretched out his hand and patted Li Wangjue's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Scholars of my generation, how can I be obsessed with this way, and you are the king of a country, and being addicted to female music is a sign of subjugation."

The little emperor looked serious, "Mr. Xie for teaching."

Zhao Rong waved his hand modestly.

He looked at the road ahead, and suddenly whispered: "Actually, it's not that you can't watch this female music."

Li Wangque was taken aback, "What do you mean, sir?"

Zhao Rong frowned, and sighed in embarrassment, "You are a king, watching this profligate dance and music, you need an elder with a strong wind to watch and wake up."

He reluctantly nodded, "Hey, how about it, next time, next time you have a chance to watch this dance music, you can come to me, I will check for you."

The little emperor: "..."

"What? If you don't speak, you don't believe me?"

"No... no, I was just thinking, will it implicate my husband and tarnish my ascetic state of mind?"

The young Confucian scholar waved his hand, "It's okay, with their little knowledge, they still want to destroy my realm? Don't worry, come to me and I will hold it for you."

"Okay...well, sir."

The little emperor scratched the back of his head.

The young Confucian scholar nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, he didn't lie. After going through this period of time, he has successfully seen his mind and nature, and his state of calmness, few desires, and pure heart must be greatly improved.

Even though it has been a few days since that night, he still hasn't fully figured out what the clarity of the mind is, but it must be a very powerful state...

"Hey, Gui, if you're still alive, make a noise."

Zhao Rong thought for a while, and called a sentence in the heart lake.

Waited a moment.

No one answered.

In this regard, Zhao Rong looked as usual, and continued to walk forward with his sleeves folded.

At this time, Li Wangque suddenly pulled his sleeves, and said quietly: "Mr. Zhao, you know that we Lidi girls have slender waists and are good at dancing, so do you know who is the most powerful dancer from Lidi?"

Without thinking about it, Zhao Rong said casually: "It can't be your mother."

He finished speaking and smiled.

As a result, after waiting for three breaths, he didn't hear the boy next to him speak.

Zhao Rong was startled, and turned his head to look, Li Wangque was looking at him with admiration.

"..." Is it really your mother?

"Your mother... Keke Queen Mother, is she so powerful?" Zhao Rong coughed twice.

The little emperor nodded with pride on his face:

"The queen mother is not only recognized as the number one beauty in Dali, the most beautiful girl with a slender waist, but also the undisputed number one dancer in Dali."

"However, I have never seen the dancing posture of my mother, and it is rumored that she only danced once, which was at the founding ceremony of the country. Only this time, she became the undisputed No.1 divorced daughter. Let the women in Dali be eclipsed, everyone said that the queen mother is the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Goddess from the Li clan..."

He glanced at Zhao Rong who was listening carefully, shook his head and said:
"The queen mother later became a queen and never danced again. Now she is a widow... and she will never have the chance to show up and dance again. I have no blessing to see you again...well, no man is qualified to let the queen mother do this now. gone."

Zhao Rong nodded, just listening to it as an interesting story.

The little emperor and Zhao Rong walked together for a while, and when they were about to part, the boy invited Zhao Rong to sit in the imperial study for a while, and wanted to ask some questions about the Book of Songs.

Zhao Rong glanced at the palace wall in the distance, it was still early, after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed, and smiled and said to borrow some books to read.

The boy named Li Wangque nodded happily.

Not long after, the two arrived at the Imperial Study Room with ease.

This is the second time for Zhao Rong to come here. He has an excellent memory and is already very familiar with the roads in the Imperial Study Room and other places in the palace.

The little emperor habitually dismissed the maids and eunuchs and closed the door.

Although he skipped class and ran out today, he finally brought Mr. Zhao back to the palace for dinner. The queen mother didn't mention him at the banquet just now, so he escaped in time.

The young man went to pick up the book with a happy face, and asked Zhao Rong for advice.

However, just as Li Wangque handed the book to Zhao Rong, the closed door was suddenly opened by an outsider.

A bookish young girl in court attire walked straight in, followed by Xianyue Linu who was left guarding the door.

With red flower tinsel on her eyebrows, holding wide sleeves in both hands, she came in front of the little emperor and Zhao Rong.

The girl in palace costume didn't seem to see Zhao Rong, and kept looking at the little emperor.

Poker face.

Zhao Rong looked at her curiously, and just when he thought the latter was about to bend his waist to salute, the little emperor suddenly got up, stood in front of the girl in palace costume, and then knelt down without saying a word.

Facing the direction of Guanghan Palace.

…………

Guanghan Palace.

Not long ago, there was a group of young maids in the main hall where a dinner party was held for the honored guests of the Empress Dowager, cleaning with ease.

very carefully.

The expensive curtain at the top of the hall was torn off with great sympathy and replaced.

The white veil worn by an extremely noble woman was also thrown on the ground at random, and its owner disappeared...

In the depths of Guanghan Palace.

There is a place filled with mist and fragrance.

In the mist like a fairyland, there are faint green, red and red and a touch of white things.

The water mist suddenly rolled up.

Through the mist, if you look carefully, it turns out to be a bathing pool covering an area of ​​tens of meters, and it seems to be a natural hot spring spring, which is very rare.

The baths are luxuriously decorated and surrounded by rare and precious flowers and plants.

Among the lush and fragrant flowers and plants, some women's clothes were sparsely scattered, including skirts, ribbons, purple gauze, and panties with bellybands... One piece of clothing fell all the way to the side of the bath.

And in this huge bathing pool, at this moment, there is only a graceful and charming snow-white figure, bathing in the hot spring water.

Around the bathing pool, from time to time, there was a girl from the crescent moon with a high status walking around.

They stared intently, or carrying basins, or handing towels, or holding clean dresses...

Most of them are clean towels.

It is embroidered with golden silk thread and a picture of the goddess flying to the moon.

There are also some divorced women who sprinkle expensive fragrances such as high-quality flower petals and spices into the bath water from time to time.

"Cardamom."

At this moment, the extremely honorable widow in the bath suddenly called out.

"Your Majesty, the servant is here."

Beside the bath, the girl in palace costume holding a gorgeous towel quickly glanced at the stunningly beautiful woman in the mist with her eyes closed, and then she responded with a low eyebrow.

Dugu Chan's fragrant clothes are below the shoulders, soaking in the water surface where the pink petals float.

She was silent for a moment.

No one around the bath dared to make a sound.

Cardamom and the others held their breath, waiting for the beautiful woman who looked like a picture of a goddess to speak.

For a moment, in the air of the bathing pool, there was only the sound of tumbling water splashes and dripping water.

Dugu Chanyi closed her eyes and rested her mind, she lightly raised her head, she gently stretched out her hand, and pulled her black brocade-like black hair to her left shoulder, combed it with her jade hand, bent her jade palm, scooped up a hand of warm water, and poured it on the On her delicate collarbone.

Elegant movement, noble temperament.

"The Ai family asked him to study hard, but he tried his best to run around. Did he forget Li Mingyi's lesson last time?"

Dugu Chanyi frowned slightly.

Cardamom waited for Li Nu to look down and bow her head, not daring to make a sound.

"Kneel for two hours."

She caressed the wet blue hair on her shoulders with bare hands, understatement.

The cardamom of the temperament book was hesitant to speak, but she still closed her mouth and nodded, "I obey the order."

At the end of the sentence, she handed the luxurious towel in her hand to the girl who was looking down beside her, turned around and left directly.

Not long after the girl in palace costume named Cardamom left.

Outside the misty bathing pool, a figure of Li Nu suddenly appeared. She hurried to the bathing pool, knelt down, and held a colorful ribbon in both hands, before going forward.

"Ma'am." He whispered softly.

A beautiful woman with her eyes closed in the bath suddenly opened her eyes, her lacquer-like pupils were crystal clear and bright like North Stars.

She turned her head and looked at the colorful ribbon that she hadn't seen for a long time.

The jade arm reached out and grabbed it in his hand.

Dugu Chanyi narrowed her eyes, "Bring her in."

"Yes."

The girl who delivered the token stepped backwards.

Dugu Chanyi stretched out a slender hand, brushing the rose petals on the surface of the water, and then stood up suddenly.

Streams of warm bath water flowed smoothly along the amazingly curved slender waist.

The water drops ding-dong.

In an instant, white snow and spring appeared.

The surrounding girls immediately stepped forward and gently wiped her delicate body with towels.

A total of 99 brand-new towels embroidered with gold thread will be used only once before being destroyed, and the towels of each part must not be mixed, and each part performs its duties.

"Um……"

The beautiful woman squinted her eyes and let out a long breath.

In addition to the slight blush after bathing, the cheeks as white as milk showed a rare look of comfort and relaxation.

Afterwards, under the careful service of the divorced women, a simple but extremely clean dress was put on.

Her peach cheeks were flushed, her eyes were lazy, and with the ribbon in her hand, she casually tied up her wet blue silk like a waterfall. She walked forward with lotus steps on her bare feet, and her dress dragged the rare flowers and plants on the ground.

"All leave the palace, no one is allowed to enter the palace without the permission of Ai's family."

"According to the order!"
