Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 182 Reward you with a song and dance troupe

Zhao Mu briefly explained to A'Zhu, and then got into the car and drove to the palace. Soon they arrived at the inner palace.

Emperor Zhezong was sitting on the dragon chair and was having a meal. When he saw the eunuch bringing Zhao Mu, before the eunuch could report, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and said, "Uncle, there is no need to be polite. You just happen to have dinner with me." .”

Zhao Mu quickly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Zhao Mu was then led to a lower position by the accompanying palace maid.

Zhezong pointed with his chopsticks and said: "This! This! And this! What I made today is good. Give it to the emperor to try."

Then several palace maids brought the dishes in front of Zhe Zong to Zhao Mu's wooden table.

Seeing Zhao Mu standing up to salute and thank him, Zhezong waved his hand and said, "Uncle, sit down quietly. Today it's just you and my uncle and nephew. Uncle, you don't have to be polite. Come on, fill up my imperial wine for your uncle."

After hearing Zhezong's words, a palace maid picked up another jug ​​of wine from Zhezong's table, came to Zhao Mu, and then filled it for Zhao Mu.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, these beautiful little palace ladies, and the mellow imperial wine. Zhao Mu didn't know why he always felt a little hairy. He couldn't understand what the hell this kid was doing.

But now that he's here, he has put away his wariness, and instead accompanies Zhe Zong to finish the meal anxiously.

After Zhezong was full of wine and food, he waved his hand to take down all the food. Zhe Zong looked at Zhao Mu and said, "Uncle Emperor, how are my skills in the imperial kitchen?"

Although Zhao Mu wanted to say it, that was all. But since it is a leader asking questions, even if it is not good, you have to change the way to say it is good.

Zhao Mu then replied: "Reporting to your majesty, your majesty's royal dining room has famous chefs from all over the world, so the dishes produced are naturally the best in the world."

Zhe Zong just smiled knowingly when he heard this. Then Zhe Zong clapped his hands, and a group of court musicians slowly entered from the side door. Then the musicians took their seats with instruments in hand.

As the music sounded, two teams of dancers in dance costumes filed in from the entrance of the hall.

Zhao Mu looked at everyone carefully, and Zhao Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, they are worthy of being a music and dance troupe supported by the palace. Not only are these dancers graceful in figure, dancing gracefully, and beautiful in appearance, but each of them is in the prime of life. Compared with The playthings my mother raised for me are not inferior even when autumn frosts and winter snows come. Moreover, the looks of some of them are not inferior to those of A'Zhu, Mu Wanqing and other beauties.

Just as Zhao Mu was getting excited, as the music gradually sped up, a woman in red slowly entered the room.

The dancers who were responsible for accompanying the dancers immediately surrounded her. The leading dancer in red, with fluttering sleeves, was looking forward to it. From time to time, she also glanced at Zhao Mu who was admiring the dance. This woman's dancing posture is graceful, light and elegant, and her cheeks are flushed and charming. I think Zhao Feiyan, who was under the control of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, was nothing more than this.

Seeing so many graceful and stunningly beautiful young women in front of him, Zhao Mu really felt like he was in a small position now. No matter how fancy you play outside, it's still not as good as dancing in front of the Emperor's palace. No wonder so many people in the world want to be emperor.

Seeing Zhao Mu holding the wine glass and watching the singing and dancing, Zhe Zong also smiled with satisfaction.

As the music gradually speeds up, the movements of the dancers also become faster and faster, and the red dancer's long skirt with water sleeves flies like a blooming peony. At the end of the song, the sixteen backup dancers, together with her, are really there. The main hall formed a beautiful peony flower.

Zhao Mu wanted to applaud this wonderful dance, but he just wanted to close his hands. But suddenly he thought of Emperor Zhezong. He then looked at Emperor Zhezong.

Seeing Zhao Mu's reaction, Zhe Zong clapped his hands, and Zhao Mu then burst into applause of his own.

Zhe Zong said: "That's right! Reward!" After everyone thanked them, they exited in an orderly manner as when they entered.

The woman in red who led the dance at the end thanked her for the last time before slowly leaving.

Zhezong asked at this time: "What do you think of the singing and dancing in the palace?" Zhao Mu praised: "The lotus steps move lightly, and the beauty of the country is beautiful. The music and dancing in the palace are naturally excellent."

Zhe Zong smiled at this moment and said: "The emperor's uncle was fascinated by what he saw just now. If the emperor likes it, how about I reward him with all these dancing girls?"

Hearing this, Zhao Mu couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He stood up quickly, then saluted and said, "I would never dare! Your Majesty, please forgive me for my misconduct."

Seeing this, Zhe Zong asked: "Uncle, what are you doing? Get up quickly. Your uncle told me before that he likes fame, wealth and beauty. Today, beauty is in front of you, why is your uncle like this? This is all I have carefully selected them for the emperor's uncle. They are all top-notch in terms of their beauty and dancing skills. Does it mean that the emperor's uncle doesn't like them? Or maybe he is a little henpecked? Hahaha."

Hearing that Zhezong was not angry, Zhao Mu replied: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness. However, these dancers are all the ladies in the palace, and they are all your Majesty's people. Although I am greedy and lustful, I never dare to covet the palace." Female relatives.”

Emperor Zhezong was a little surprised when he heard Zhao Mu's words. But then a smile appeared.

But this time Zhao Mu really judged the emperor's belly with a villain's heart. Zhezong rewarded these seventeen beautiful dancers to Zhao Mu, which was indeed out of good intentions. The purpose is to give Zhao Mu a little sweetness and make him sincerely serve him.

Although Zhe Zong also likes beauty. But as an emperor, he also knew how to win over capable ministers to work for him.

These women were nothing more than property to Zhe Zong, no different from the jewelry, gold and silver in the treasury.

Moreover, no matter how beautiful a woman is, even if she is the descendant of Luo Shen or the reincarnation of Xizi, there will be a day when her beauty will fade away. Women are all the same when they get older.

And as long as he sits on this dragon chair, young and beautiful women will be sent to him anytime and anywhere.

Women who want beauty only need to issue an imperial edict. But winning over a capable and loyal minister is not an ordinary price that can be measured.

Although Zhao Mu thought too much, Zhezong liked his uncle's attitude very much.

Then Zhezong smiled and said: "Hahaha, uncle, don't worry. I know your loyalty and courage. Now you only need to tell me whether you like them or not."

Upon seeing this, Zhao Mu replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, each of these women are in their prime, and they are all beautiful and charming. My lord."

Zhe Zong said with a smile: "Uncle Huang is a manly man. Why do you speak so hesitantly? You just need to tell me whether you like it or not!"

Zhao Mu replied frankly: "I like it."

Hearing this, Zhezong laughed and said: "Hahaha, okay! Since the emperor likes it, then these dancers will be rewarded to the emperor. I am the emperor's eloquent words. If the emperor refuses, it will be disrespectful and disrespectful."

Hearing Zhe Zong's words, Zhao Mu became increasingly confused as to what Zhe Zong wanted to do.

Zhao Mu didn't know if this was a trap, and he didn't dare to agree directly for a while, but he couldn't refuse either.

Then Zhao Mu thought for a while and said, "I would like to thank your Majesty for the reward."

Zhe Zong nodded and said: "Yes! That's right. Whatever I give to the emperor's uncle, the emperor can use it. I am lucky to have such a capable person as my right-hand man in the Song Dynasty clan. , the good fortune of the country.”

Then Zhao Mu continued: "I will go through fire and water to repay His Majesty's kindness!"

Zhe Zong smiled and waved his hands and said: "Okay, okay, uncle, please get back on your feet."
