Concubine Mengfei

Chapter 284 Dazzling Shadow Puppetry

After He Lianyu snapped his fingers, a trusted entourage beside him pulled out the saber in his hand, stepped forward a few steps, and stabbed the man on the spot, and the man fell to the ground and died.

The whole process is just a split second, so fast that people can't take their eyes off it.

After the man vomited a mouthful of blood, everyone took a few breaths of air-conditioning, and the fear of He Lianyu in their hearts increased by three points.

"Wipe the blood clean, don't dirty the sword." He Lianyu didn't even blink, he put his hands behind his back, and looked at the corpse with cold eyes, "I just want you to know that whether it is Who is the son, as long as the intention is wrong, this king will never let it go!"

He glanced at Helianze a few times, as if speaking to Helianze.

Helianze was very relieved, and said in a good voice: "My brother knows."

Alina blinked her eyes wide, although she was fine, but just now, she also saw He Lianyu's disrecognized appearance, and she was directly caught on the spot.

Even if she doesn't like that person who made a mistake and still accuses her, she thinks how to punish him can be done according to the seriousness of the circumstances. That person's crime is not worthy of death.

In the past, when she got along with He Lianyu, she never saw him show hostility to anyone, nor did she see him being so bloody.

In her mind, He Lianyu will always be a person who can't express his emotions or anger, but will never kill people at will.However, after seeing the scene just now, she couldn't even accept it.

"Go and entertain Princess Alina to rest in Xuanyi Pavilion." Yu Moying asked Hongxing to lead someone to put away the poisonous snake on one side, and sent a group of ladies to serve Alina.

Seeing Alina's slightly pale face and slightly dull eyes, she probably already knew that Alina was shocked by the situation just now.

Yu Moying thought to herself, maybe He Lianyu has always been a perfect incarnation in Alina's heart, so when something like executing a person on the spot happened, she needed time to digest it.

But, in this world, who is perfect?Especially when you are in the center of the storm and above the authority, who is really free from blood?
Moreover, the higher the status, the more complicated the environment is, and it is often necessary to do some actions that ordinary people cannot understand.

Today, He Lianyu executed people to death. The bigger reason was to give Helian Ze and other people with bad intentions a warning.

In addition, the children of the emperor's family have more burdens than the children of ordinary people.Especially a child like He Lianxiang who is in the ninth five ranks.

He Lianxiang is young and doesn't have enough ability to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, but he can use this opportunity to make He Lianxiang more aware.Since then, all major military affairs will gradually require him to make decisions alone.

He has to learn to grow not only in knowledge, but also in controlling power.Although this was a bit cruel to him, since he had already walked this path, he could only grit his teeth and go on.

"Wang Concubine, according to your instructions, all the members of the Baixi Troupe have arrived." Not long after, a maid answered in her ear.

Yu Moying said lightly: "Understood, let them prepare first."

*
In the evening, the envoys from the Jiyue clan and the nobles of various palaces were brought to the imperial garden by the palace people one after another, and sat down in their respective seats step by step.

Because He Lianxiang broke his bones and needed some time to recuperate, he did not attend the evening banquet.

The darkness has fallen, and the candles in the imperial garden are shining brightly.Several elegant green gauze palace lanterns illuminate the entire garden brightly.

With the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, everyone felt refreshed.Even in late autumn, other flower species tend to decline, but the large clusters of autumn chrysanthemums still bloom modestly and stunningly, not inferior to other flower colors.

Like the previous banquets, this time the palace banquet also featured silk and bamboo orchestras, shengxiao, singing and dancing.But among those present, very few of them really put their minds on singing and dancing. He Lianyu and several envoys of the Jiyue clan were returning their rewards.

On the surface, it seems that only Helianze and Alina are the only ones who can concentrate on enjoying the singing and dancing. This is the first time Arina has come to Beiming Country, and she is interested in anything new she sees.Moreover, she can be regarded as a person who can see things openly. During the day, that incident didn't affect her too much.

Therefore, at this time, she can still happily eat the fruit and watch the singing and dancing.

Helianze was still holding the jug in his hand, leaning lazily by the desk. From time to time, when a few beautiful court ladies passed by, he would give them an ambiguous look.This made many palace maidens blush and their hearts beat wildly.

In the middle of the banquet, the general singing and dancing has been completed.At this time, Yu Moying called a female official, whispered a few words in her ear, and the female official went down to work.

Not long after, the female official came back, and a white gauze screen was lifted up on a small platform in front of the imperial garden.

He Lianze glanced at the white gauze screen, with a hint of meaning: "Sister-in-law Liu is planning to give you any surprises for the distinguished guests?"

Yu Moying smiled and said, "Yes. Please wait a little longer."

Not long after the words were finished, all the people present made suspicious voices. It turned out that some palace people had extinguished several lamps, and the surrounding light suddenly dimmed a lot. The palace lanterns that were still on were only used for everyone to see the people around them clearly.

And behind the curtain on the platform, beside the white gauze screen, there are several lanterns hanging, concentrating all the light on the screen.

When the curtain was pulled up by Gong'e, everyone turned their heads and looked, and saw a few shadow puppets suddenly appeared behind the almost transparent screen, which was equivalent to a curtain. Under the operation of the shadow puppets, they were performing vividly. .

Yu Moying got up and explained: "Today, my concubine came a few steps late, so she was a bit inconsiderate in terms of hospitality. However, before entering the palace, this concubine specially invited the famous guests in the capital to welcome the honorable guests. The hundreds of opera troupes come to perform a few performances to make up for the mistakes."

The Baixi troupe she said is good at, not just shadow puppetry performed on stage.The hundreds of opera troupes in the capital have been assembled from hundreds of schools over the years.He is not only proficient in using shadow puppets and humorous operas to interpret stories.

Moreover, in it, there are also a large number of actors who are good at playing, playing and singing, and the few well-known ones are all from the Baixi troupe.

"Okay, coming to Beiming this time, I have gained a lot of insight." Arina became interested when she heard it, and she watched the shadow puppet show seriously, occasionally knocking a few melon seeds.

"Sister-in-law Liu has a heart." He Lianze also began to watch the shadow puppet show on the stage. He poured a large pot of wine into his mouth, his eyes were blurred, and he didn't know what he thought of. "My brother doesn't know, During the day, Sixth Sister-in-law's late arrival has other intentions."

As the shadow puppets behind the white gauze screen began to finish the prelude, accompanied by the voices and traction of the actors, three or four lifelike shadow puppets also jumped up behind the screen made of paper paste.

The first shadow puppet show seemed to have no backbone, it was just describing the folk life of the Beiming Kingdom, but the envoys from the Jiyue clan and Arina from the Lantian Kingdom all became more and more interesting the more they watched.

They originally thought that the life in the city of Beiming Country would be no different from that of their own side and that of Huaxi Country. They never thought that those people living at the bottom of Beiming Country would have such a rich life.

They never imagined that in the large Beiming Kingdom, there are areas rich in natural resources distributed from south to north.

The shadow puppets behind the screen are moving and still, some are children and some are old people. Each character is in the best condition to show the local customs of Beiming Kingdom.

Each place has its own characteristics. The Wanli Glacier in the extremely cold place of the Northern Territory is frozen for eight months every year.

After the freezing period, the people there would dig out ice blocks from the glaciers with shovels and carve them into ice sculptures of various shapes.

In the place close to the sea to the east, all kinds of Shugu and all kinds of fish are extremely rich.In several places in the northwest, the horses bred are particularly staunch.

Lands like the Southern Territory that are full of Gu insects and snakes are actually rich in scarce medicinal materials.

Arina couldn't take her eyes off her eyes. She couldn't help applauding, "It's so interesting. When I leave the capital, I must go to these places."

He Lianze's thin lips parted slightly, and his eyes were smiling: "No wonder everyone says that Sixth Sister-in-law has a delicate heart. Today, I finally saw this one again."

"Eighth brother, thanks." Yu Moying greeted him appropriately, and met He Lianyu's admiring eyes.

After the two looked at each other and smiled, she looked away.They all already know what is in each other's mind, and they can make each other understand with just a look without too much words.

In fact, when she first came to Beiming Country, she didn't know much about the local conditions and customs of Beiming Country. At most, she had seen some records in geography before.

She also started to notice the uniqueness of each place in Beiming Kingdom when she followed He Lianyu to the epidemic area last time.Later, when she helped He Lianyu take care of some things from all over the world, she learned a lot.

When the envoys of the Jiyue clan came, it was necessary to show the special features of Beiming, so that people could know more about Beiming.

Her plan was undoubtedly a success. The shadow puppet show on stage went on for a while, except for the envoys of the Jiyue clan and Alina, even some princely children of Beiming Kingdom were very involved in watching it.

Even though they were born and raised in Beiming, they don't know as much about Beiming as Yu Moying, and they feel ashamed when they think about it.

Before, under the influence of Helianze, they thought that only by using precious things from other countries could they reflect their status.But they don't know that in Beiming, there are many things that are incomparable in other places.

As soon as it was out, the palace people put down the curtains again in unison, and the surrounding palace lanterns were also lit, beeping.

"Why is it gone?" Alina was still immersed in it, reluctant to end it so soon.

In fact, this shadow puppet show lasted for half an hour, but in her opinion, it was very short.

Others also had the same opinion as her, expressing regret and reluctance one after another.

Yu Moying smiled sweetly, held the wine bottle delicately, and took a small sip of the clear grape wine.
