Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 314 The King Is Dead (18)
Shi Yan also noticed her gaze, felt a little ridiculed, and concealed his displeasure: "Isn't the princess laughing at Shi? Presumably, the princess can also guess a little bit about my sage's temper. In the future, the princess will stay in the In the palace, it's better to...seek good fortune for yourself!"

But Xianglai said: "General Shi is a bit irresponsible, you brought me to the Nanliao palace, if I encounter trouble in the palace, the clan general will come to rescue me no matter what, otherwise Our mother and son have three advantages and two disadvantages, what will General Shi use to coerce the King of Northern Liao?"

Shi Yandao: "Since the concubine has already arrived here, Shi may as well tell you clearly that after the concubine is handed over to the Holy Majesty, Shi will invite himself to be the commander of the Northern Liao army and lead my favorite troops to collect the army of the Northern Liao. Over time, the threat from Beiliao will slowly disappear."

He could guess these fragrances without mentioning them, and said with an unchanged expression: "Oh, so General Shi planned it like this, but don't you think it's too early to tell the plan in this advanced training?"

Shi Yan said: "Why, is it possible that the princess can still regret going back to Beiliao at this time?"

Xianglai smiled and said: "But you are not worried that I will commit suicide if I want to, and let you fetch water from the bamboo basket in vain?"

Shi Yandao: "If only the princess herself is the only one, I would really worry about this, but the princess is pregnant with Liujia now, so I don't believe that you are willing to let the unborn prince of Beiliao go to hell with you."

Xianglai didn't speak anymore, and said in her heart: "Yeah, if I'm the only one who's really not afraid, two lifetimes as human beings are enough, but after all, now that I have Luo Jinxing's flesh and blood, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will work hard to fight for it. How could you die so easily..."

During the conversation, he had already arrived outside the Jingchun Pavilion.

Only when they got to the place did people know that the so-called Jingchun Pavilion is a three-story building, located in the center of the imperial garden where hundreds of flowers are blooming. The inside of the room is a hall, and the outside is a wide plaster platform, which seems to be used for banquets. The second floor is a beautifully decorated bedroom. I don't know who lives there. The third floor is designed as a transparent attic, which is convenient for viewing the scenery.

The entire pavilion is based on white jade, built on nanmu, green walls and glazed tiles, and a large crystal bead curtain can be seen from the outside. Occasionally, one or two objects are either jade or agate, and none of them are ordinary items.

Xiang Lai and others followed the eunuch from the outside jade steps step by step, and a faint sandalwood fragrance wafted from the room. It is estimated that the furniture inside is also carved from fragrant sandalwood.

When they came to the third floor, Xianglai and others waited outside, the eunuch went inside to report and then came out to ask a few people to go in, and then Xianglai followed Shi Yan into the inside.

After entering, it was even more refreshing. It turned out that the above three floors were not just ordinary pavilions. It turned out that there were also vines planted in the house. Although the flowering period had passed at this time, they were neatly pruned, and the curtains hung down halfway. Pavilions and pavilions, carved railings and windows, jade cases and embroidered piers, all of which are extremely gorgeous.

At this time, on a table of concubines behind the vines, there was an open-chested man, about forty years old, and his face could not be seen clearly for the time being, but he was hugging a few women on the left and right, playing and laughing , there were two court ladies kneeling by the side, holding fruit plates and refreshments in their hands and serving them.

Xiang Lai only glanced at it and then looked away, thinking to himself that the emperor is really so licentious and stupid, no wonder he governed the country like that, he must look less at such a person, lest he will spoil the child in his womb.

Although Shi Yan knew that the emperor of his country was like this, he still couldn't help feeling cold when he saw such a scene, and he didn't return for several years. The palace was built more beautifully, and the people in Nanliao became more and more impoverished.

Although he was loyal, he knew that many loyal and outspoken officials had been executed in the court, so he would not come to this trouble. It would be better to hide far away in Beiliao, out of sight and out of mind, and Why not do more for a country that has served us for generations.

Thinking of this, he acted as if he hadn't seen those women, and knelt down to pay homage: "Chen Shiyan kowtows to the Holy One!"

As soon as he knelt down, Lian Xiangjin, Lian Xiangyin, and Lu Fusheng all knelt on the ground, saying: "The surrendered minister Lu Fusheng and the women kowtow to the Holy Majesty!"

Xianglai didn't move when she saw them kneeling down. No matter if she was a hostage or what her status was, she had no reason to kneel to this fatuous emperor.

Tao Yu originally planned to just listen casually behind the vine curtain, but he didn't expect that there were three women among the people who came in, and they looked quite beautiful. He picked up the women in his arms and walked out, and those women also temporarily There was no sound, and she sat on the couch in various postures and waited.

Tao Yu came to the table and sat down, and was about to tell everyone to calm down, but he couldn't help feeling unhappy when he saw Xianglai standing there without kneeling, but after seeing Xianglai's face, he eased a little, and asked, "Who are you?" , Why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Xiang Lai glanced at him first, and saw that the emperor of the Southern Liao Dynasty was about in his early forties, his figure was not very fat but a little bloated, and his baggy eyes were obviously caused by excessive indulgence.

Most people who are excessively greedy don't have brains, but this kind of person is still Shi Yan's master.

Xianglai's thoughts turned quickly, and she felt that she should use him to do something, so she quietly glanced at Shi Yan on the ground, and said deliberately: "I am pregnant, so it is inconvenient to kneel down, and... The general didn't say that I need to bow down to the Emperor of Nanliao."

"General Shi?"

Tao Yu's face was indeed a bit gloomy, and he said, "How come General Shi has to decide this matter for me?"

Hearing Tao Yu's dissatisfaction, Shi Yan thought to himself that it was really abominable for this woman to harm herself in this way.

So he quickly raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, this woman is the concubine of Beiliao. I have brought her here as a hostage. I have never said that I would not let her kneel down to worship the Holy Majesty. Please don't believe her provocative words."

Xianglai said: "The general never said that I don't need to bow down to the emperor, but the general never said that I need to bow down. The general is the one who controls my life and death in Beiliao. I have to think about your thoughts. "

Shi Yan was a little annoyed by her, and said: "I never said it before, so let me tell you to bow down now. If Luo Xuan doesn't come, you can kneel down and worship the Holy One on his behalf!"

Xianglai put his hands on his waist, moved forward on purpose to shy his belly, and said: "Since the general said, I was going to bow down, but this belly is so heavy that I really can't kneel down..." Said He looked at Tao Yu and said, "Your Majesty, do you think I should listen to the general?"

She is now seven months pregnant, and it does look very obvious, but it is not to the point where she cannot kneel down.

It's just that her few words just now caused Tao Yu to have a grudge against Shi Yan. He felt that the majestic emperor was not as prestigious as his courtiers in the eyes of the hostages. How could this fatuous emperor feel happy? Wouldn't it be unreasonable to ask the princess to pay homage to the pain of pregnancy, but forget it, the princess should stand up and answer."
