agent queen is too wild
106 Mausoleum
On the wall of the tomb made of huge stones, there are pictures embossed with colorful paintings. The characters in the pictures are simple in appearance and lifelike.Over time, the colors are still bright. Some of these paintings depict scenes of hunting in the forest, some of them drink wine with friends in the hall, some of them depict scenes of expeditions, some of the scenes of escorting captives, and the last one depicts There is a scene of enshrining the emperor, which records the most glorious scenes in Qin Shihuang's life, which makes Wushuang amazed.
Turning around a few stone gates, the pattern began to change. Many gates appeared in front of the eyes, making people wonder which way to choose. The color of the stones under their feet also began to change. With his keen perception, Wushuang concluded that there must be a mystery.
"Follow me, if you make a wrong step, you will be in danger of your life." Dongfang Chen said flatly.
Wushuang quickly grabbed his hand and followed closely behind him.
Dongfang Chen walked in front of a stone wall with a dragon totem, pressed the longan, and the stone door slowly opened.
A bright golden light came, dazzling people.
It turned out that this was the main tomb, which was filled with all kinds of treasures and objects made of gold. The decorations were similar to Dongfang Chen's main hall and luxurious. It seemed that Qin Shihuang was really kind to him.
With this room as the center, there are eight gates in sequence, representing the tomb of Emperor Qin.There is a huge purple-core nanmu gold-covered coffin in the center. It has not yet entered the mausoleum, so it must be the first emperor's coffin with a resurrection pillow.
Although no one cleaned the tomb, it was clean and dust-free, so it must have the effect of avoiding dust beads; a special sweet fragrance made people sleepy, could it be the legendary benzoin?That resurrection pillow must be under Shihuang's head!
Thinking of this, Wushuang's heart skipped a beat. What did this emperor who unified the six kingdoms look like, and the previous dynasty dug his tomb in Lishan and found it to be empty? What is the reason?
Wushuang stepped forward lightly, knelt down in front of the coffin and kowtowed nine times, taking the opportunity to squint.
I saw the person in the tomb wearing a crown facing the sky, wearing a gold silk embroidered robe with a red border and blue border, wearing cloud boots, and with his hands on his chest, he looked majestic and domineering and unapproachable.
This person was the First Emperor, and although he had been dead for 600 years, his appearance was still the same as when he was alive. Except for a slight shrinkage of the skin, the whole person had not changed much.
Under his head was a pillow made of white jade carved into dragons and phoenixes. The jade fat was smooth and shone faintly under the ever-burning lamp. It was indeed a divine object.
Dongfang Chen also kowtowed as usual, pleaded guilty of disturbing, and then took Wushuang to see the tombs of the first emperor and first empress dowager.
The two of them don't have such a magical thing as the resurrection pillow, but they have Zhuyan Zhu in their mouths, which can keep their skin and flesh intact for ten years, so it is as if they were alive.
The coffin cover of the tomb is made of a layer of crystal. Through the crystal, you can see the first emperor holding the hand of the first empress, and the first empress is lying peacefully in a golden mask.
After reading it, Dongfang Chen pointed to one of the doors and said, "You and I can be buried in this cave after a hundred years, how about it?"
Wushuang forced a smile and said, "When a person dies, he doesn't know anything, so what's the point of all this?"
Dongfang Chen hurriedly stopped her, shaking his head to signal her not to say such unlucky words here.
An hour later, the two of them came out of the cold mausoleum and saw the sunshine again. They were in a good mood and felt the beauty of life.
As soon as the two of them returned to the palace, Dongfang Chen received a secret report to deal with the government affairs, and Wushuang went back to the East Palace alone.
"Xiao Lian, is there any fine mutton fat jade in the palace?" Wu Shuang asked with a frown looking at the things in the dressing box.
Xiao Lian knew that Master didn't like to wear gold and silver, but when she suddenly asked her for jade, she still replied honestly: "In reply to Master, there are beautiful jades from Xinjiang that were tributed in the treasury. Back to Curry!"
Wushuang frowned slightly, and said: "Come on, follow me to the library to pick jade!"
The two walked forward along the Yuli River, and when they encountered concubines along the way, they either turned around and left, or they couldn't hide and lowered their heads in fear to greet them.
Wushuang nodded slightly, and went straight to the destination without much reason.
As soon as I got off the Mingyue Bridge, I heard a woman crying. In the palace compound, crying is the most unlucky thing. Who is so bold and dares to cry here?
Turning around a shade of flowers, a maid in a green palace dress was sitting on a Taibai stone and weeping softly, presumably something sad happened.
Just as Wu Shuang was about to walk over, suddenly a fat nurse in charge rushed out from a diagonal stab, and beat the woman head-on and face-to-face.
"You little hoof, I said why you can't find anyone if you can't see it. So you came here to be lazy? Seeing that the empress's birthday is coming, the emperor ordered our embroidery yard to rush to make the hundred birds towards the phoenix embroidery. The work is not finished yet, how dare you run here and cry? If you delay the empress’s birthday, I see how many lives you have!”
The palace maid hid and wept: "Mother Liu, please do me a favor, my mother is dying of illness, please let me go out and see her!"
Liu Mama thought she was tired from the beating, so she gave a loud baw and said, "I don't care if your old lady dies! Since you entered the palace, you are the emperor's man, and you can't leave the palace without the emperor's pardon. Yes, are you ignorant of the rules or looking for trouble on purpose?"
The palace in green raised her tear-stained face, with a flash of determination in her eyes, she said: "Bi'er knows the rules, but I, Daqin, put filial piety first, if Bi'er can't be filial to her mother, what's the point of being alive? It's better to die!"
After speaking, he turned around resolutely and was about to jump into the lake.
Grandma Liu couldn't help panicking, and shouted: "Come on, it's terrible, someone is going to jump into the lake!"
Wu Shuang gave a slight signal, and Xiao Lian shouted loudly: "The empress is here!"
Frightened by the majesty of the queen, the maid in green was so frightened that the lake stopped jumping, and quickly knelt down together with Liu Mama.
"The queen's body is in good health, and everything goes well!" The two sang promises in unison.
Wushuang approached Bi'er slowly, and said in a neutral voice, "Raise your head!"
Bi'er slowly raised her head, her black and white pupils were full of fear but clear, with almond eyes and long eyelashes, and a fat nose on her melon-seeded face, she was actually a very beautiful person.
Wu Shuang looked at it carefully and said: "I will allow you to go home to visit your relatives, and reward you with fifty gold for your mother's medical treatment, but you will only be given one day off!"
Bi'er was overjoyed when she heard that, and kept kowtowing in gratitude: "Thank you, Empress Empress, for being considerate of my servants, and my servants will definitely do their best to do things for Empress Empress!"
Wushuang waved his hand: "Go!"
After Wushuang walked away, Mammy Liu said angrily: "Damn girl, you are lucky, you should leave the palace soon!"
Bi'er took a deep look at Wushuang's background, bit her red lips and ran out.
When they came to the treasure house, the guards saw that it was her, and they all held down their sabers and knelt down to pay their respects.
Xiao Lian stepped forward and said: "Brothers, the empress wants to enter the vault to pick some treasures, please open the vault door."
Several guards guarding the gate looked at each other, and said embarrassingly: "Empress, without the emperor's decree, the subordinates dare not open the treasure house privately!"
Xiao Lian was slightly angry, and was about to reason, but Wushuang stopped her, and said lightly: "If it is someone else, this rule can be followed, but I don't have to follow it. I haven't taken back the gift that the emperor gave to me last time. Of course, I have the right to take it back, and I want to surprise the emperor, if you ruined this palace, aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you and chop off your heads?"
Everyone knew about Wushuang's favor in the palace. After thinking about it for a while, these guards knew that they couldn't afford to offend them, and hurriedly took the key to open the treasure house.
"Empress, please choose as you like, but the selected treasures must be registered in the library. If the emperor asks, please ask the empress to defend it for his subordinates."
Wushuang nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I assure you that nothing will happen to you."
The door of the treasury opened with a bang, and there were countless gold, silver and jewels inside. The treasure tree made of coral and gemstones, the screen carved of emerald and agate, and all kinds of rare treasures tributed by foreign countries were simply dazzling. Eye.
But Wushuang didn't look sideways, and went straight to a jade tree made of white jade, and only took this inconspicuous thing.
The guards guarding the treasure house looked at each other, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they hurriedly wrote down the treasures they took out, and Wushuang took out the phoenix seal and stamped it, and returned to the East Palace with Xiao Lian.
Back in the palace, Wushuang whispered to Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian nodded in understanding, and walked out of the palace with a bag of things.
When Dongfang Chen returned to the East Palace, it was already You Hour, Wushuang knew that he hadn't eaten yet, so with a wave of his hand, servants immediately brought delicate side dishes and porridge.
Wushuang held a piece of tender bamboo shoots for him and said in a warm voice: "Why is the emperor so frowning?"
Dongfang Chen let her feed with his eyes slightly closed, and said with a long sigh: "The Jialing River is seriously flooded, and the homes of the people along the river have been destroyed and displaced, their lives are precarious, and their clothes are not covered. It is now the spring planting period, and if the spring planting is missed, there will be famine next year. What's more, the food in the national treasury is prepared for wartime. If it is withdrawn to the victims, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to pay the food in the future. This is not the most troublesome thing for me. According to the report from the spies, the four princes fled to Mobei and colluded with the northern Tartars. Take some action. And the five kings secretly recruited troops in the fiefdom, ready to make a move. The six kings did not move, but he regarded himself as a benevolent king, and often met with some literati and poets. These people praised him every day, and their hearts were unpredictable—”
Seeing that his appetite was not good, Wushuang took a cup of Baihua honey dew wine to his lips and fed him a sip. Fang softly said: "The people are water, and the king is a boat. Water can carry a boat or capsize it. No matter how urgent it is, It is not as important as the lives of the people. The people's request is actually very simple, as long as they have enough to eat, the emperor has won the hearts of the people by saving the people. It is better than the reputation of the historians who wrote dozens of eulogizing books. Quick, at least there is no war now, I think it is more important to open warehouses for disaster relief."
Dongfang Chen opened his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Yes, yes, you have always put the people first. Last time, you almost turned against me because of the epidemic. It's rare that you are so good-tempered. How can I disobey you? Come, pass on my will , open warehouses for disaster relief!"
The eunuch following Dongfang Chen hurriedly conveyed the will.
Wu Shuang chuckled lightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Dongfang Chen suddenly asked: "I heard that you went to the treasure house to pick out a jade tree, where is it, why didn't you see it?"
"I want to make a pair of concentric pendants for the emperor and me, so why don't people go out and make them!"
"I thought you were a ruthless woman, but now you seem to know how to please people?"
Wu Shuang said without giving in: "I also thought that the emperor was a violent person who would not listen to others' persuasion, but now it seems that he is a wise emperor."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help laughing.
"By the way, what are you going to do with those princes?" Wu Shuang asked.
Dongfang Chen rubbed his brows with a headache: "I don't know, the little wolf has gradually grown up, and the eagle's feathers have also plumped up. One day, they will fly high. I'm afraid they will turn against them and raise tigers to make trouble, but now the It is even more a headache to have a teacher without a name."
Wushuang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "Leave this matter to me!"
"you--?"
"Why, don't you believe me?"
Dongfang Chen smiled for a while and said, "Of course I believe it, then I'll just wait and see!"
On June 23th, the [-]rd birthday of Empress Cheng Wushuang of the Northern Qin Dynasty, the whole country of the Northern Qin Dynasty celebrated, and envoys from the Southern Chu also sent rich gifts.
The fifth prince, the sixth prince, and the seventh prince were invited to celebrate the Queen's birthday.
Wushuang caressed the two carved white jade pendants, his face full of thought.In fact, it doesn't matter whether her birthday is on this day, the important thing is to use this cover to do business.
Carefully put the dragon-carved jade pendant in the golden nanmu box, and put it down gently.
"Give it to the emperor."
Xiao Lian took the box and retreated silently.
Wushuang walked slowly towards the embroidery room, with a smile on her lips, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and one needs to always think about reciprocating favors from others.
After arranging everything, Dongfang Chen had ordered someone to notify her of attending the banquet.
Because today is her birthday, she purposely dressed in a grand manner. The wide-sleeved tunic with bright red peonies made her look even more slender, her breasts were tall and straight, and the tail of the dress was graceful on the ground, dragging out beautiful curves when walking.
Her skin is snowy and fat, her eyes are like black jade, her nose is straight and her lips are red, her black hair is tied behind her head, fastened with gold hairpins, and her ears are wearing long tassel earrings. pressing.
Before entering the main hall, one can vaguely see the bright lights, the soft and lingering sound of silk and bamboo singing, an image of peace and prosperity.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, the eunuch immediately announced loudly.Dongfang Chen stood up and greeted Wushuang to take her seat. Although His Highness's senior officials could not understand her, but because today was a good day and the emperor had every possible way to protect her, they had no choice but to salute reluctantly.
Sitting upright in the main hall, Wu Shuang looked up and saw crowded people, fragrance everywhere, and the expensive carpet woven of gorgeous soft golden deerskin shone with dazzling luster.Eight towering gold-clad pillars support the dome of the main hall, and the ferocious golden dragon perched on the pillars looks even more magnificent.And the giant-arm candles lit a few every five steps, illuminating the surroundings in a brilliant, bright yellow color.
The two rows were several times long, and they were arranged on both sides of the main hall. The food and wine were filled with all kinds of delicacies. There was no banquet at the moment, and everyone was chatting and chatting, and it was very lively.
The fifth prince, Dongfang Qing, sat on the first right. He saw Wushuang looking at him, with a pair of fierce eyes looking at Wushuang unabashedly. I can smell his anger.
Everything that is too rigid is easy to break. I don't know if this fifth prince is really showing his sharpness or hiding a mystery?
Wu Shuang raised his glass to signal, and drank it down in one gulp, while the fifth prince also drank it in one gulp, raising the bottom of the empty cup as a signal.
Sitting next to him was the sixth prince, Dongfang Qing. Although the sixth prince was in the royal family, he only wore a moon-white robe with gold trim. His face was handsome and elegant, more like a scholar, and he didn't look threatening at all.
The Seventh Prince is still young, only 15 years old, but he is dressed in brocade and jade clothes, extremely luxurious, and he was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes, merciful everywhere, and he was famous at a young age.
Seeing everyone present at the table, Dongfang Chen said, "Open the table!"
Civil and military officials, all the imperial brothers knelt down and shouted in unison: "I wish the emperor great blessings, and the empress will live forever!"
Dongfang Chen raised his hand in satisfaction, and everyone returned to their seats one by one.
Dongfang Chen cast his eyes on the fifth prince, and said: "Now that the Jialing River is flooded, I ordered King Qinghe to adjust the grain by three thousand shi to prepare for an emergency. How is the preparation of the grain and grass for King Qinghe?"
Dongfang Qing was tall and tall, and said sonorously: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, my brother has prepared food, and it will be shipped to the south soon."
The Sixth Prince smiled slightly and said, "We Beiqin has Fifth Brother, so we can relax a lot. Fifth Brother can rule the country with martial arts, and can govern the country with literature. He is indeed a rare talent!"
The Seventh Prince smiled and said: "The Sixth Brother is right, otherwise I would not have the chance to fall in love with you!"
The two brothers sang and chorused, apparently praising Dongfang Qing, but secretly they wanted to arouse Dongfang Chen's suspicion, with ulterior motives and killing people invisible.
Dongfang Qing had a rather irritable temper, and couldn't bear it any longer. He said loudly: "My brother has always thought about Bei Qin, shared the emperor's worries, and is loyal. Unlike some people, they only set up a juxian hall all day long, and only face themselves. I don’t know what kind of heart is there to add money? And the seventh brother, who is so old, only knows how to ask for flowers and ask willows. If everyone is like you, wouldn’t I, Beiqin, be about to perish?”
Dongfang Yan was furious: "You—"
Dongfang Qing pressed his hand and said: "Seventh brother, the emperor is respected here, how can you reprimand Seventh brother here?"
As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Qing realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately apologized endlessly.
Dongfang Chen laughed and said: "Brothers are the pillars of Beiqin, no one else can do it, as long as it is for Beiqin's good, I will not blame it."
No matter how tense it was before, the atmosphere of the banquet has been restored at this moment. After a while, the hall is full of joy, the sound of silk and bamboo, the dancers are dancing gracefully, everyone is eating, talking and laughing, and gradually relax.
Wushuang pours wine and dishes for Dongfang Chen, she is gentle and virtuous, quite like a mother in the world.And Dongfang Chen raised his glass to drink from time to time, and Wushuang drank a few more glasses, his cheeks were slightly flushed by the smell of alcohol, and he was very charming.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the gift began.
An ancient divine sword presented by the fifth prince, named Mo Xie.
One of the civil servants immediately grasped this point and didn't exaggerate it. He said that offering a murder weapon on the occasion of a birthday would damage the auspiciousness and meant to demonstrate to the emperor.
Dongfang Qing was a half-life soldier, and he always hated those calligraphy and painting antiques, so he specially offered this sword, but he didn't get it well and was framed by someone, his handsome face turned red, and he almost went crazy.
Fortunately, Wushuang was a generous person and accepted the congratulatory gift graciously, which relieved his entanglement.
The sixth prince presented a screen made of long life and boundless beautiful jade, suitable for the occasion without losing the nobility, but the seventh prince presented a box of 'Famous Move the World' rouge made from Zhirouzhai.It is said that this rouge is only given to those who are destined, and it is difficult to buy it with money, so it is difficult for him to have a heart.
After presenting the birthday gift, Wushuang clapped his hands together, and immediately three beautiful and pleasant women came out in the same attire.
In addition, there are three parrots, three-tailed dolphins, nine century-old turtles, and fifteen singers.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, Dongfang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and Wushuang held his hand, motioning him to read on.
"My lords can come to congratulate this palace. I am very happy. I also have a few things for you to express my gratitude." Wushuang said unhurriedly, "These three women , is a woman from a good family selected by the palace. Not only is her family background clean, but she is also outstanding in appearance. She was sent to the three princes as concubines. Generally speaking, they are all trained. They can not only understand the human language, but also sing and sing acrobatics.
The three-tailed dolphins and nine sea turtles are even more rare. I ordered my relatives to go to the East China Sea to catch Fangde in March. Take care of yourself. "
The three princes stood up and kowtowed to thank the empress for the reward.
At the end of the banquet, these people naturally went to the fief with the princes, Dongfang Chen was free to open the brocade box.
An exquisite white jade dragon pendant lay quietly in the box, with long tassels on the end.
He picked up the jade pendant, tied it around his waist, and stared at Wushuang bathing in the hot spring with his back turned, a small flame ignited in his eyes.
But it's only been a year since we saw each other, but he and she have changed a lot.
Even though his temper is still violent, he only treats her tenderly. She is still stubborn and intelligent, but she is willing to polish a jade pendant for him.And her one is carved with a phoenix.
A strange feeling of satisfaction and happiness flowed slowly in my heart. It turns out that the joy of two people is so beautiful!
Before he finished thinking, Wushuang had already walked over in a snow-white and soft brocade robe, his black hair was draped over his shoulders just after a bath, his eyes were sparkling, and there was still crystal dew on his pink face like a rose, flowing along the edge of his chin. The slender neck dripped into the delicate collarbone, and then slid into the chest, disappearing in a flash.
There is a peerless beauty, one looks at the city, and the other looks at the beauty, it is true!

Turning around a few stone gates, the pattern began to change. Many gates appeared in front of the eyes, making people wonder which way to choose. The color of the stones under their feet also began to change. With his keen perception, Wushuang concluded that there must be a mystery.

A bright golden light came, dazzling people.

The six kings did not move, but he regarded himself as a benevolent king, and often met with some literati and poets. These people praised him every day, and their hearts were unpredictable—”
Seeing that his appetite was not good, Wushuang took a cup of Baihua honey dew wine to his lips and fed him a sip. Fang softly said: "The people are water, and the king is a boat. Water can carry a boat or capsize it. No matter how urgent it is, It is not as important as the lives of the people. The people's request is actually very simple, as long as they have enough to eat, the emperor has won the hearts of the people by saving the people. It is better than the reputation of the historians who wrote dozens of eulogizing books. Quick, at least there is no war now, I think it is more important to open warehouses for disaster relief."
Dongfang Chen opened his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Yes, yes, you have always put the people first. Last time, you almost turned against me because of the epidemic. It's rare that you are so good-tempered. How can I disobey you? Come, pass on my will , open warehouses for disaster relief!"
The eunuch following Dongfang Chen hurriedly conveyed the will.
Wu Shuang chuckled lightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Dongfang Chen suddenly asked: "I heard that you went to the treasure house to pick out a jade tree, where is it, why didn't you see it?"
"I want to make a pair of concentric pendants for the emperor and me, so why don't people go out and make them!"
"I thought you were a ruthless woman, but now you seem to know how to please people?"
Wu Shuang said without giving in: "I also thought that the emperor was a violent person who would not listen to others' persuasion, but now it seems that he is a wise emperor."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help laughing.
"By the way, what are you going to do with those princes?" Wu Shuang asked.
Dongfang Chen rubbed his brows with a headache: "I don't know, the little wolf has gradually grown up, and the eagle's feathers have also plumped up. One day, they will fly high. I'm afraid they will turn against them and raise tigers to make trouble, but now the It is even more a headache to have a teacher without a name."
Wushuang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "Leave this matter to me!"
"you--?"
"Why, don't you believe me?"
Dongfang Chen smiled for a while and said, "Of course I believe it, then I'll just wait and see!"
On June 23th, the [-]rd birthday of Empress Cheng Wushuang of the Northern Qin Dynasty, the whole country of the Northern Qin Dynasty celebrated, and envoys from the Southern Chu also sent rich gifts.
The fifth prince, the sixth prince, and the seventh prince were invited to celebrate the Queen's birthday.
Wushuang caressed the two carved white jade pendants, his face full of thought.In fact, it doesn't matter whether her birthday is on this day, the important thing is to use this cover to do business.
Carefully put the dragon-carved jade pendant in the golden nanmu box, and put it down gently.
"Give it to the emperor."
Xiao Lian took the box and retreated silently.
Wushuang walked slowly towards the embroidery room, with a smile on her lips, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and one needs to always think about reciprocating favors from others.
After arranging everything, Dongfang Chen had ordered someone to notify her of attending the banquet.
Because today is her birthday, she purposely dressed in a grand manner. The wide-sleeved tunic with bright red peonies made her look even more slender, her breasts were tall and straight, and the tail of the dress was graceful on the ground, dragging out beautiful curves when walking.
Her skin is snowy and fat, her eyes are like black jade, her nose is straight and her lips are red, her black hair is tied behind her head, fastened with gold hairpins, and her ears are wearing long tassel earrings. pressing.
Before entering the main hall, one can vaguely see the bright lights, the soft and lingering sound of silk and bamboo singing, an image of peace and prosperity.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, the eunuch immediately announced loudly.Dongfang Chen stood up and greeted Wushuang to take her seat. Although His Highness's senior officials could not understand her, but because today was a good day and the emperor had every possible way to protect her, they had no choice but to salute reluctantly.
Sitting upright in the main hall, Wu Shuang looked up and saw crowded people, fragrance everywhere, and the expensive carpet woven of gorgeous soft golden deerskin shone with dazzling luster.Eight towering gold-clad pillars support the dome of the main hall, and the ferocious golden dragon perched on the pillars looks even more magnificent.And the giant-arm candles lit a few every five steps, illuminating the surroundings in a brilliant, bright yellow color.
The two rows were several times long, and they were arranged on both sides of the main hall. The food and wine were filled with all kinds of delicacies. There was no banquet at the moment, and everyone was chatting and chatting, and it was very lively.
The fifth prince, Dongfang Qing, sat on the first right. He saw Wushuang looking at him, with a pair of fierce eyes looking at Wushuang unabashedly. I can smell his anger.
Everything that is too rigid is easy to break. I don't know if this fifth prince is really showing his sharpness or hiding a mystery?
Wu Shuang raised his glass to signal, and drank it down in one gulp, while the fifth prince also drank it in one gulp, raising the bottom of the empty cup as a signal.
Sitting next to him was the sixth prince, Dongfang Qing. Although the sixth prince was in the royal family, he only wore a moon-white robe with gold trim. His face was handsome and elegant, more like a scholar, and he didn't look threatening at all.
The Seventh Prince is still young, only 15 years old, but he is dressed in brocade and jade clothes, extremely luxurious, and he was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes, merciful everywhere, and he was famous at a young age.
Seeing everyone present at the table, Dongfang Chen said, "Open the table!"
Civil and military officials, all the imperial brothers knelt down and shouted in unison: "I wish the emperor great blessings, and the empress will live forever!"
Dongfang Chen raised his hand in satisfaction, and everyone returned to their seats one by one.
Dongfang Chen cast his eyes on the fifth prince, and said: "Now that the Jialing River is flooded, I ordered King Qinghe to adjust the grain by three thousand shi to prepare for an emergency. How is the preparation of the grain and grass for King Qinghe?"
Dongfang Qing was tall and tall, and said sonorously: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, my brother has prepared food, and it will be shipped to the south soon."
The Sixth Prince smiled slightly and said, "We Beiqin has Fifth Brother, so we can relax a lot. Fifth Brother can rule the country with martial arts, and can govern the country with literature. He is indeed a rare talent!"
The Seventh Prince smiled and said: "The Sixth Brother is right, otherwise I would not have the chance to fall in love with you!"
The two brothers sang and chorused, apparently praising Dongfang Qing, but secretly they wanted to arouse Dongfang Chen's suspicion, with ulterior motives and killing people invisible.
Dongfang Qing had a rather irritable temper, and couldn't bear it any longer. He said loudly: "My brother has always thought about Bei Qin, shared the emperor's worries, and is loyal. Unlike some people, they only set up a juxian hall all day long, and only face themselves. I don’t know what kind of heart is there to add money? And the seventh brother, who is so old, only knows how to ask for flowers and ask willows. If everyone is like you, wouldn’t I, Beiqin, be about to perish?”
Dongfang Yan was furious: "You—"
Dongfang Qing pressed his hand and said: "Seventh brother, the emperor is respected here, how can you reprimand Seventh brother here?"
As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Qing realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately apologized endlessly.
Dongfang Chen laughed and said: "Brothers are the pillars of Beiqin, no one else can do it, as long as it is for Beiqin's good, I will not blame it."
No matter how tense it was before, the atmosphere of the banquet has been restored at this moment. After a while, the hall is full of joy, the sound of silk and bamboo, the dancers are dancing gracefully, everyone is eating, talking and laughing, and gradually relax.
Wushuang pours wine and dishes for Dongfang Chen, she is gentle and virtuous, quite like a mother in the world.And Dongfang Chen raised his glass to drink from time to time, and Wushuang drank a few more glasses, his cheeks were slightly flushed by the smell of alcohol, and he was very charming.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the gift began.
An ancient divine sword presented by the fifth prince, named Mo Xie.
One of the civil servants immediately grasped this point and didn't exaggerate it. He said that offering a murder weapon on the occasion of a birthday would damage the auspiciousness and meant to demonstrate to the emperor.
Dongfang Qing was a half-life soldier, and he always hated those calligraphy and painting antiques, so he specially offered this sword, but he didn't get it well and was framed by someone, his handsome face turned red, and he almost went crazy.
Fortunately, Wushuang was a generous person and accepted the congratulatory gift graciously, which relieved his entanglement.
The sixth prince presented a screen made of long life and boundless beautiful jade, suitable for the occasion without losing the nobility, but the seventh prince presented a box of 'Famous Move the World' rouge made from Zhirouzhai.It is said that this rouge is only given to those who are destined, and it is difficult to buy it with money, so it is difficult for him to have a heart.
After presenting the birthday gift, Wushuang clapped his hands together, and immediately three beautiful and pleasant women came out in the same attire.
In addition, there are three parrots, three-tailed dolphins, nine century-old turtles, and fifteen singers.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, Dongfang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and Wushuang held his hand, motioning him to read on.
"My lords can come to congratulate this palace. I am very happy. I also have a few things for you to express my gratitude." Wushuang said unhurriedly, "These three women , is a woman from a good family selected by the palace. Not only is her family background clean, but she is also outstanding in appearance. She was sent to the three princes as concubines. Generally speaking, they are all trained. They can not only understand the human language, but also sing and sing acrobatics.
The three-tailed dolphins and nine sea turtles are even more rare. I ordered my relatives to go to the East China Sea to catch Fangde in March. Take care of yourself. "
The three princes stood up and kowtowed to thank the empress for the reward.
At the end of the banquet, these people naturally went to the fief with the princes, Dongfang Chen was free to open the brocade box.
An exquisite white jade dragon pendant lay quietly in the box, with long tassels on the end.
He picked up the jade pendant, tied it around his waist, and stared at Wushuang bathing in the hot spring with his back turned, a small flame ignited in his eyes.
But it's only been a year since we saw each other, but he and she have changed a lot.
Even though his temper is still violent, he only treats her tenderly. She is still stubborn and intelligent, but she is willing to polish a jade pendant for him.And her one is carved with a phoenix.
A strange feeling of satisfaction and happiness flowed slowly in my heart. It turns out that the joy of two people is so beautiful!
Before he finished thinking, Wushuang had already walked over in a snow-white and soft brocade robe, his black hair was draped over his shoulders just after a bath, his eyes were sparkling, and there was still crystal dew on his pink face like a rose, flowing along the edge of his chin. The slender neck dripped into the delicate collarbone, and then slid into the chest, disappearing in a flash.
There is a peerless beauty, one looks at the city, and the other looks at the beauty, it is true!
