Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 297 The Man in the Picture

This is the first time that Shang Ruyi has left this cultivation palace since she came to Jiangdu Palace.

As soon as she went out, she immediately felt an indescribable sense of relief. Jiangnan is really Jiangnan. Even if she hasn't seen any scenery yet, the wind blowing towards her face is warm, with a fragrance of green grass, which immediately makes people feel happy. piece.

When she raised her head, she saw the towering and majestic hall in front of her.

It is said that the Jiangdu Palace was rebuilt on the former site of the Chen Dynasty Palace after Chu Yang destroyed Chen Dynasty. The scenery seen from above is the main hall.

The main hall is built on a high platform three feet high, and the palace itself is also several feet high. There are wide side steps around which can carry carriages. Looking at it from a distance, it feels like you can climb the steps into the clouds and become immortals. , and that palace may be a heavenly palace that is so high that the world cannot reach it.

This is the projection of Chu Yang's mood and spirit left in the world.

He is so proud, arrogant.

However, although Jiangdu Palace has such a majestic main hall, it is also in the south after all. Since it was built on the former site of the Chen Dynasty Palace, it naturally retains some features of the old palace.

For example, now Eunuch Yu took her down a set of steps, and after passing through two doors, she entered the inner palace.

It's a different picture here.

In the long corridor of the inner palace, the aisle suddenly became narrower, the surrounding palace walls were not high, and the palace gate was built into different fan shapes and moon shapes, which looked interesting and gave people a delicate and exquisite feeling; Especially after entering a garden, the bluestone road under the feet is wet and smooth, surrounded by overgrown vegetation, and because of the proper pruning, the whole road presents a comfortable feeling of winding paths leading to secluded places.

Shang Ruyi felt that she seemed to be in some fairyland on earth.

Ever since she woke up, Chu Yang sent someone to take care of her clothes. She was wearing some seemingly simple but exquisite and extravagant black clothes in every detail, and her feet were woven fabrics that were changed every day. The feather shoes made her look elegant and ethereal.

In addition, the surrounding flowers and trees are flourishing, and there is still a milky white mist all around.

Walking in such a landscape, even Shang Ruyi felt that she was like a person in a painting.

However, when she looked at the beautiful scenery around her and felt that she was in the Heavenly Palace in a trance, what she heard was the bloody murder.

Listening to Eunuch Yu's words, Shang Ruyi finally understood the current situation in Jiangdu.

Chu Yang led 40 troops on this southward tour, of which more than 30 were troops. Apart from thousands of officials and their families, attendants, maids and eunuchs, the most numerous were the imperial guards led by Wang Shaoji. military.

The problem lies with these imperial guards.

Most of these people are honorable descendants, and many are brave and courageous men selected by Chu Yang from the army. They usually stay in the imperial city and are superior to others. After they came to Jiangdu, they looked down on the old people here. The palace guards, the little eunuch came to report just now, it was a few people from the imperial guards who went to a restaurant in the city to drink today, and they happened to meet a group of old palace guards there, and they quarreled if there was any disagreement. In exchange, many people have been summoned from both sides, causing a brawl in the city, and it is said that many people have been killed or injured.

Shang Ruyi frowned tightly: "How could such a thing happen? Does Wang — Master Wang don't care?"

"he?"

Hearing the name Wang Shaoji, although Yugong always had a smile on his face, at this time, he couldn't hide a little coldness.

He said: "If he took care of it a little bit, the imperial guards wouldn't be in trouble like they are now."

Shang Ruyi heard some reason, said: "So, this is not the first time?"

Eunuch Yu shook his head and said, "The Imperial Guards and Jiangdu Palace guards have clashed several times in the palace, but because His Majesty and officials at all levels are present, the matter has never become serious, but when they leave the palace, they are not so obedient. gone."

"..."

"These people are domineering in the city and oppressing the people. The people below are also angry and dare not speak."

The more Shang Ruyi listened, the more she frowned.

Of course she knew that Wang Shaoji was not a good person. He had the title of frivolous son when he was in the Eastern Capital, and his subordinates were even worse than him.It's just that in Luoyang City, there are still some scruples, but when they arrive in Jiangdu City, these people will run rampant.

However, wouldn't this deepen the conflict between the imperial court and the southerners?

If Chu Yang really wants to gain a foothold in Jiangdu, he must at least control his subordinates. If Wang Shaoji and his people are allowed to continue like this, Jiangdu may follow in Luoyang's footsteps.

Just when she was in a heavy mood, Eunuch Yu took her through a small vase-shaped door, and it suddenly opened up in front of her eyes. There was a huge garden surrounded by a long corridor, and in the center of the garden , there is a tree with an unknown name. The trunk is about as tall as a person. The ribbon, hanging down and flying with the wind, looks very gorgeous and dreamy.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but took a deep breath.

She had never seen such a beautiful scene, and what surprised her even more was that under the tree, there was a huge carpet that almost covered the entire garden, and she was sitting on the carpet with her back against the tree trunk, holding a There is only a jug, and the person who is raising his head and pouring the clear wine into his mouth is Chu Yang.

I saw him wearing a flawless white dress, the belt hung loosely between the crotch, the collar was wide open, and the long black hair like black jade was only tied casually, hanging behind his head, shoulders, and the wine spilled from his mouth , flowed to his chest, and also wet his long hair, but he didn't care, and even laughed out loud with the smell of alcohol while swallowing.

In those slender phoenix eyes, there was a hint of wine and a stream of light.

Shang Ruyi stopped involuntarily.

Then, she saw Chu Yang throw away the wine pot, raised a long sword from his side, and slowly drew the sword out of its sheath, cold light flashed across his eyes, he narrowed his eyes slightly, staggered to his feet, and turned his wrists Pulling out a sword flower, the wide-sleeved robe also flew up, and the whole person was like a phoenix flying in the air, elegant and eye-catching, and even more gorgeous and arrogant that the world can't imagine.

As he danced his sword, he slowly chanted:
Cranes fly three thousand miles, spring flowers still bloom by themselves,

The shadows on the high platform are messy, and the songs are wandering alone;
Liubo sent the moon to go and not return, Xiaoxiao fell to the star with a smile...

At this moment, Shang Ruyi almost suffocated.

She and Chu Yang have known each other for a short time, even less than a year, but in less than a year, they have experienced so much that now, whether she wants to or not, she can Being imprisoned by his side, even if she is not his, she is already very familiar with him.

However, even with such familiarity, she will still be amazed by his celestial appearance.

Just now, she felt like she was in the painting, but now, seeing Chu Yang like this, she realized that this is the real person in the painting.

Perhaps, he is really a person who is loved by the heavens, to the extreme.

But how long can this kind of love last?
and--

"Send the moon to go and not return it", "Falling star"... Does he know how ominous these verses he sang are? !

Or, what has he felt?
Just when Shang Ruyi was in a state of confusion, Chu Yang had already seen them, a smile appeared on his face, he staggered over, and grabbed her wrist: "You are here."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi struggled, but couldn't break free from his hand.

Eunuch Yu on the side had already knelt down and bowed down: "Your Majesty, servant girl, servant girl has something important to report."

Chu Yang didn't seem to hear his voice at all, and just smiled at Shang Ruyi: "It seems that you have recovered. Are you in good health? Can you move freely?"

Shang Ruyi couldn't break free, but fortunately, there were not many people here, so he could only let him hold his wrist tightly, and said softly: "Thank you for your concern. The medicine sent by His Majesty these days is very effective, and Ruyi is gone. Big problem."

"That's good,"

Chu Yang's hands kept exerting force, as if he wanted to pull her into his arms, and he kept saying, "Come on, come here."

Shang Ruyi looked at him, and then at Eunuch Yu, who was kneeling beside him and had nothing to say. The latter was winking at her—Shang Ruyi also understood why he had to grab her to come together just now. Obediently, Chu Yang dragged him to the center of the garden.

Chu Yang kicked away the wine jugs that had been emptied just now, picked up another wine jug, and handed it to her.

"Come, drink with me."

"..."

Shang Ruyi frowned slightly, facing such a drunken person, she still said seriously: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Although Ruyi can move freely, she cannot drink alcohol yet."

"Can't drink alcohol?"

These four words made Chu Yang frowned, and then looked at Shang Ruyi, he suddenly smiled again, and threw the jug aside: "Okay, if you don't drink, don't drink."

He grabbed Shang Ruyi's hand and held the hilt of the sword in his hand.

Then he said with a smile: "Then, dance sword with me!"

"I--"

Shang Ruyi wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, Chu Yang had already walked behind her in a flash, hugged her slender waist with one hand, and put it in his arms, then lowered his head and whispered in her ear: " This is also the first time for me to have a sword dance between two people."

"..."

"You have to cooperate with me, don't move around."

Shang Ruyi did not move, because at this moment, her heart was beating so fast that she had no time to move.

Except for the man who made her heart ache, she had never been so close to any man. Her back was almost completely in his arms, her waist was also bound, and she held the hilt of the sword with him with one hand. The sleeves are light, even like twins in one body.

She tremblingly said: "Your Majesty..."
