Warlock Toxic General Please Control Yourself
Chapter 207 Zhang Zhu Zhang Li Shu, don't think that this king must be you!
Chapter 207 Palm of the Pearl Chapter Li Shu, don't think that this king must be you!
"Cousin?" Gongsun Min couldn't believe what he heard. She was obviously the victim, so why should her feet be restrained?
With tears still on her face, she shouted unconvinced: "Cousin, what did my cousin do wrong? Why did you ban my cousin's feet?"
"The crime of framing the queen!" Xi Liemo said coldly.
"Framed? Cousin, how can you be so biased? Even if you don't investigate, you say that your cousin has framed the queen? Cousin refuses to accept!" Gongsun Min cried out in grief.
Xi Liemo snorted coldly: "Check? The cousin will tell you first, why does the queen want to kill you, cousin?"
"The queen..." Gongsun Min was suddenly at a loss for words.
Why do you want to kill her?Yes, why did the queen want to kill her?Jealous of her beauty?It's so ridiculous, she is not even half of the queen's appearance!
Jealous of her favor?Cousin will be by the Queen's side most of the time in the next three months, who is jealous of whom!
Jealous of her good family background?What woman in this world can compare to Princess Li's identity?
Gongsun Min suddenly realized that he had done an extremely stupid thing!
She wanted Xi Liemo to believe that the queen wanted to kill her, but she couldn't find a reason why the queen wanted to kill her!
The queen is so lofty, she is the only princess of Li Guo who is loved and radiant by thousands of people. All the women in this world, including her, can only look up to her.
Such a person, why need to take action to harm those women who have no threat to her at all, and lower his status?
At least at this stage, the queen doesn't even bother, and she doesn't need to take action against any women around Xi Liemo!
"Send the princess back to Feiyang Palace! Watch carefully until she reflects on herself!" Xi Liemo's voice was cruel and devoid of emotion.
Gongsun Min's heart finally cooled down at this moment, and he also calmed down.
Growing up under the doting of Gongsun Yu, she has understood a truth since she was a child: the truth is never the most important thing, what is important is the person with supreme power, who does he believe in!
Even if the queen has a thousand reasons not to hurt others, if her cousin doesn't believe her, all her reasons are no reason!
What Gongsun Min understands, Zhang Zhu naturally understands too.
The whole farce centered on her, she hadn't had any chance to perform on stage before the curtain came to an end.
Zhang Zhu looked at Xi Liemo in a daze, wondering where did his complete trust in her come from?
He first gave her all his wealth and property to manage, and now he speaks out to defend her and trust her for no reason, and even shows no mercy to his cousin who grew up with him since he was a child!
A strange feeling spread from her heart, as gentle as water, enveloping her body and mind from inside to outside.
Zhangzhu felt that her heartbeat seemed to be a little faster, and the strange thing was that she didn't reject this feeling at all, but felt a little sweet on the contrary.
Xi Liemo was amazed by the rare gentle smile on her face, couldn't help but wink, and said cheaply: "Ashu, but you were fascinated by this king's demeanor just now?"
Disillusioned, the tenderness in Zhang Zhu's heart dissipated immediately, she resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and slightly bent down to salute: "Thank you, Brother Amo, for your rescue just now."
"Ashu, just saying thank you can't express your sincerity." Xi Liemo's eyes were bright with longing.
Zhang Zhu, who hadn't been with him for a long time, had basically figured out his temperament, stood up straight, and didn't answer his words, "Brother Amo, I arranged for the horse dancer I saw outside the palace today. Ayu will bring him into the palace tomorrow, do you want to meet Amo?"
Little girl film, learned to change the subject!
"Of course!" Xi Liemo replied quickly.
Just kidding, my queen wants to see her boyfriend, how can he not be here?
At this moment, Xi Liemo suddenly regretted that he had promised her not to trap her in the harem. In the future, his queen would definitely meet more foreign men, and he couldn't always be by her side to monitor.
However, since when did he become such a wronged king?His queen didn't want to revolve around him, so he had to revolve around his queen?
Xi Liemo stretched out a hand to stroke his chin, lost in thought.His queen's heart is not on him yet, it seems that he has to speed up!Otherwise, when will a little prince be born in Xiqiang?
His ministers' hints three years ago have now turned into explicit statements. If there is no movement in the next few months, I am afraid that the group of ministers who are concerned about the country and the people will come to the harem to personally supervise him and favor the beauties. .
-
On the second day, Zan Puzun was brought to the palace, together with several outstanding performers from the equestrian and horse training performances of the previous two days.
Xi Liemo and Zhang Zhu met them at the palace racecourse.
Including Zan Puzun, several people thought that the new queen was idle and wanted to see something new, so they all performed hard to get more rewards.
And everyone still has luck in their hearts, what if the king takes a fancy to it?Maybe the future is bright.
Because of these thoughts, the performance in the palace was naturally much more exciting than what I saw yesterday.
It was the first time that the concubine Gong Nai Ruan Ruyue, who was watching together, was even more excited when they saw it for the first time.Especially Kisaragi, whose little hands are red.
With the stimulation and encouragement of applause, the performers are also more excited.
Half an hour later, several people contributed an unprecedented wonderful performance.
Not only Zhang Zhu who came from Li country had never seen him, but also Xi Liemo, A Cong and other attendants who were in Xiqiang.
This is just a relatively primitive performance that has not been retrained and packaged. It has already attracted everyone's attention. Come up with more good ideas, this will surely become a popular performance in Xiqiang.
If it can cause shock in Xiqiang, where horses are not rare or unfamiliar, what kind of turmoil will it cause in Li, where horses are rare and rich?
Once there is such a way of making money, folk performing groups will grow rapidly, and related industries will also develop rapidly. The economy of Xiqiang may really be turned upside down because of this!
At this time, Xi Liemo realized that his queen's ambitions were much greater than he imagined!What she thinks and what she wants to do is never what he thinks, she just wants to try her own ability and try her best to do one thing well.
From the very beginning, she had the great ambition to change the economy of Xiqiang!
Xi Liemo's eyes suddenly became hotter. Such a palm ball, a palm ball with great ambitions, was born for him!
"Haha..." The proud and complacent Xi Liemo suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. If no outsiders were present at this time, he would definitely break his agreement with Zhangzhu, hugging her and kissing her hard.
However, his sudden laughter made everyone baffled.
Your Majesty, is this stupid?No matter how wonderful the performance is, there is no need to laugh so exaggeratedly, right?
"Your Majesty." Faced with his gaffe, Zhang Zhu reminded him in a low voice, only to find that he was looking at her with inexplicable eagerness, as if he wanted to swallow her into his stomach, which made her heart beat wildly. .
Xi Liemo took her hand without any scruples, and laughed boldly: "Okay, the performance is very good! All rewards!"
The performers on the stage were overjoyed when they heard the words, and knelt down one after another, "Thank you, King! Thank you, Queen!"
In front of everyone, Zhang Zhu was embarrassed to struggle, so she had to pretend not to care, only she knew the heat on her face.
She gave Kisaragi a wink, and Ruyue walked to the center of the arena understandingly, and said to everyone kneeling on the ground, "Heroes, the queen loves and appreciates your performance very much, and now I would like to invite you to join the royal circus performance team. How about next?"
Except Zan Puzun's heart skipped a beat, the rest of them didn't know how to react for a while.
Because those people are all free horse breeders, and they became free horse breeders only because they don't like restraint.They came to Kyoto purely for rewards for performances, but they had no intention of joining any performance team!If someone had told them what team they were going to join, maybe they would not have come.
It's just that the people above are the king and queen of the Western Qiang. First, they can't refuse casually. Second, there is an essential difference in identity between being a horse breeder of an ordinary noble family and being a horse breeder of the royal family. Their hearts, which had always been free, were slightly loosened again!
Ruyue didn't know what the following people were thinking, and continued according to Zhang Zhu's agreement with her earlier: "If you join the circus performance troupe, you will have a fixed monthly salary of one tael of silver, and if you perform in places other than the palace, then One hundred copper coins for each performance, except for the performance time, you can move freely during the rest of the time.
However, there is a requirement: every three months, you must come up with a new performance idea, if not, you will be disqualified from the performance; if you have no new ideas within a year, you will leave the performance team!
In addition, each of you must train three apprentices per year, and the ideas of the apprentices can also be used as the master's ideas until the apprentices become masters! "
In fact, what Ruyue said later, except for Zan Puzun, the rest of the people didn't hear what she said clearly.
One tael of silver per month, one hundred copper coins per performance, even if there is only one performance a day, there will be four taels of silver in a month, and 50 taels of silver in a year!
For people like them who earn less than five taels of silver a year, this temptation is too great!
For Zan Puzun, it doesn't matter how much he pays for a month or a performance. The important thing is that he has found what he is willing to dedicate his life to: building a huge circus performance kingdom!
At this time, Zan Puzun didn't know that Zhang Zhu actually had the same idea, and Zhang Zhu didn't know that Zan Puzun had a big dream in his heart, but at this magical moment, two people with the same ideals met, Then, in the near future, they jointly created a huge circus performance kingdom as they wished, which shocked all surrounding countries, including Li country!
"The little one is willing to accept the gift from the queen!" Everyone including Zan Puzun accepted the proposal on their knees.
Kisaragi said loudly: "Very good! Your first task is to perform a wonderful circus performance in the palace on the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival! Let all the princes and nobles see your heroic appearance!"
"Yes! I will try my best to ensure that the king and queen will not be disappointed!"
All the details about the circus troupe are actually mostly credited to Kisaragi.
When Zhangzhu took Ayu and Ji Ziqi to learn about the operation of commercial firms in the private sector, she occasionally chatted with Ruyue when she came back, and found that although she was not sensitive to politics, she was actually quite talented in business.
Therefore, when Zhangzhu married and came to Xiqiang, she brought Ruyue with her. After all, due to her own status, she couldn't personally take care of many things, and it was not convenient to find a man to manage them, so Ruyue became the most suitable candidate.
Even though Zhangzhu followed Ji Ziqi to understand the basic situation of the business operation and accepted some relatively new modern ideas, coupled with her own status, she has excellent foresight, but she is a born super rich second generation , although Ji Ziqi imposed some concept of silver on her, but to her, there is no difference between one tael a month and ten taels of silver!
Fortunately, in the process of studying with Ji Ziqi, Zhangzhu knew this weakness of his own, so there is a division of labor and cooperation: Zhangzhu Zhanghang is responsible for the formulation of the general direction and strategy, and Ruyue is responsible for the specific Implement and manage!
Another point is that Zhang Zhu, as the eldest princess of the Li country, sees and uses the best things in the world, so she can know what kind of things can attract the eyes of nobles, and what kind of styles make jade more attractive. Beautiful is more valuable!
After sharing the meticulous and practical work with Kisaragi, Zhang Zhu determined the direction of her future efforts!
Soon, the Lantern Festival is here.
The Xiqiang Lantern Festival is a national celebration event, which is different from the Lantern Festival in the Li Kingdom. It is called the Fire Dance Festival, which is what Xi Liemo mentioned to Zhang Zhu when he was in the Li Kingdom.
Xi Liemo originally planned to take Zhang Zhu out of the palace to watch the Fire Dance Festival on the fifteenth day, and he still remembered the longing and longing expression on Zhang Zhu's face when he listened to his description.
It's a pity that his queen put the promotion of the circus troupe first, and put her personal thoughts behind.
This also made Xi Liemo very depressed for a time. He is a king of a country, every day he thinks about how to make his queen agree to his courtship, and his queen thinks every day about how to make his subjects live better !
Is the cart before the horse?But when he saw Zhang Zhu's beautiful little face, this depression quickly dissipated.
Continuing the blood and incense is more important to the long-term development and stability of Xiqiang than developing the economy!His queen is just not yet enlightened, if he doesn't take the initiative, wait for his queen to automatically understand his feelings and interests, I don't know when it will be!
For the future of Xiqiang, and for the little prince to come to the world as soon as possible, Xi Liemo feels that the things he is doing now are also very, very important things!
Xiqiang has never had the custom of ministers and nobles entering the palace to celebrate the Lantern Festival with the royal family, so when they received a message from the Xiliemo sect stating that the whole family would enter the palace together to celebrate the festive season, they were a little surprised at first.
But it soon became clear.I heard that every year the royal family of the Li Kingdom spends the Lantern Festival together, and the new queen is the eldest princess of the Li Kingdom. Presumably, they want to bring this custom of the Li Kingdom to Xiqiang.
It doesn't matter if they are older, it's quite fresh to celebrate the Lantern Festival at home every year, and occasionally the family goes to the palace once in a while.
But those young noblemen and ladies were a little unhappy.
Because they have been preparing for a whole year, just to show off at the Fire Dance Festival, but when the new queen came, they didn't give them psychological preparation in advance, disrupting their overall plan.
But the ancestors of the family didn't say anything, and those of the younger generation didn't dare to say anything except whispering a few words to express their dissatisfaction.
The dinner is traditional Xiqiang food. On this auspicious day of universal celebration, Zhangzhu can't make any exceptions, and also enjoys Xiqiang food together.
After taking a few small bites, I actually felt that it was not as hard to swallow as I remembered, but had a unique taste.
Xi Liemo smiled and looked at his queen, tasting the food on the table with a very novel expression. The feeling that she accepted Xiqiang cuisine, just like she accepted him, made him very happy.
The pampering in his eyes could not be concealed, and the princesses and beauties who were watching were jealous, especially Gongsun Min, Huyan Yunxi, and even Helan Qingcheng who had already thrown himself into the arms of others.If he was willing to look at her with such eyes back then, how could she be willing to fall into Xi Lingyun's arms?He Lan Qingcheng looked at Xi Liemo and Zhang Zhu with deep hatred hidden in his eyes.
Halfway through the dinner, the circus performance began.
Including Zan Puzun, plus those selected in the next two days, the total number of people performing this time is 20 people.
Most of the 20-person performances were not individual performances as before, but were arranged into one-by-one programs.
Some shows have three people and three horses, some have five people and ten horses, some have ten people and ten horses, and some have one person and ten horses. For example, Zan Puzun’s horse dance performance is also the finale performance of the whole program.
It is not difficult to perform a horse riding competition by one person. After all, everyone in Xiqiang is good at riding, and at most there are more tricks.
But when at the beginning, ten people and ten horses, all white horses, red clothes and red saddles, were doing the same movements in unison, it had to be amazing.
Not only the jumping and dancing of horsebacks, but the most thrilling and exciting thing is ten people and ten horses running in steps. One person jumps on the horse of the previous person, and the whole movement is done in one go. The horse unexpectedly broke away from the original team spiritually, ran directly towards him, and then returned to the stepped formation of ten men and ten horses.
There were constant cheers and exclamations in the stands, and the noble boys and girls who had accumulated energy for a year vented all their enthusiasm in their shouts.
This is much more interesting than the annual Fire Dance Festival!The boys and girls who were full of dissatisfaction put their previous complaints behind them not long after the equestrian show started.
Zan Puzun's bamboo flute horse dance brought the whole performance to a climax. When the ten white horses danced to the rhythm of the bamboo flute played by the young man in white, the entire palace was silent.
Their mouths were wide enough to hold a whole egg, and their usual noble and decent demeanor was completely lost.
It wasn't until the sound of the bamboo flute stopped, the young man in white bowed down to salute, and the ten horses knelt on their front hooves as a gesture of salute, that all the people in the palace reflected it, and then there was a wave of applause.
Some young masters and ladies who were younger shouted one after another: "It's beautiful, let's play another song!"
The adults beside him were caught off guard and couldn't even cover their mouths in a hurry, so they all knelt down to apologize to Xi Liemo.
Xi Liemo waved his hand generously, "No problem! Today is a festive season, everyone celebrates it together, don't take these little things to heart!"
Then he turned his head to Zhang Zhu and raised his eyebrows with a smile: "Queen, all Ai Qing and their families haven't seen enough, how about doing it again?"
Zhangzhu smiled and nodded lightly, "Listen to the king's orders!"
The original arrangement was to prepare a few extra programs just in case, but now they all come in handy.
Then the applause and cheers continued, and Zan Puzun, who was the finale, had to perform two more pieces before being allowed to leave the stage by the unsatisfied crowd.
Although the circus performance is over, the excitement brought to everyone has not dissipated, and the following food is also ignored, and they are excitedly discussing the unprecedented performance just seen.
Then, some ministers couldn't resist the request of their nephews at home, and said, "Your Majesty, Queen, where did you invite this performance team?"
Xi Liemo said with a smile: "The Queen has nothing to do. She formed it by herself. It is specially used to relieve boredom. It is also used during some festivals for your love to watch and relax."
It turned out to be the Queen's own!Some people who originally thought about spending money to invite the circus troupe to perform, gave up their minds.
"However, the queen of this circus troupe will get tired of watching it alone every day, so the queen once suggested to the king that if any noble minister's family wants to borrow a performance for a day or two, just say hello to her in advance." Xi Liemo road.
As soon as this remark came out, all the nobles, young masters and ladies below were all excited, and even the old men who were usually moody and angry showed a faint smile on their faces.
That's great!
"Thank you, King! Thank you, Queen!" These are probably the most sincere words today.
Some favored ministers said directly, "Queen, it's my son's birthday in five days, can you use this circus troupe?"
"Of course!" Zhang Zhu nodded with a smile.
This is terrible, all the ministers rushed to speak in the entire palace, "Queen, in seven days...", "Queen, in ten days..."
There were too many people and the voices were too mixed. Some people seemed to have a dispute because they bumped into each other because of the day.
Xi Liemo coughed twice, and raised the volume: "My dear friends, don't worry! Send people one by one to the queen to get the records tomorrow, don't snatch them, everyone has a share!"
Those ministers who are usually mature and prudent, realized at this moment how loud they were just now, they couldn't help but blushed, and they all fell silent.
Xi Liemo nodded in satisfaction, "That's all for today, tomorrow morning will be early, dear friends, go back early and rest."
"Yes, king, queen!"
It's already late today, and it's going to be early tomorrow, it seems that Xi Lingyun can't go to accompany him!He Lan Qingcheng pretended to glance in the direction of Xi Lingyun casually.
But unexpectedly, she discovered that her man Xi Lingyun was staring at the queen in high-ranking costumes motionless at this time, showing familiar lewd eyes, as if he wanted to strip her off her clothes, and press her down on the ground to love her fiercely!
The enthusiasm in those eyes was something Helan Qingcheng had never seen before, even when they were most intimate!She froze for a moment.
What Helan Qingcheng didn't know was that the dazed expression she stared at Xi Lingyun inadvertently fell into the eyes of Huyan Yunxi who was staring at Xi Lingyun.
Originally, after receiving her message, Hu Yanlong was very happy and agreed with her actions, but after only three days, he sent someone into the palace to inform her that this matter should not continue.
Huyan Yunxi was very puzzled, but Huyanlong refused to tell her why, and only asked her to follow orders and not to be too troublesome.
However, Huyan Yunxi refused to let go of such a good opportunity.Since Hu Yanlong was afraid and didn't want to show up, she could finish it by herself.
Anyway, she Huyan Yunxi has nothing but patience!She believed that she would definitely catch some clues about Xi Lingyun, and then link him with Gongsun Min, hitting Gongsun Min and the Gongsun family behind him!
-
On the second day, before the gate of the palace opened, there was a long line of people outside.
As soon as the gatekeeper opened the palace gate, he was startled by the dragon.
It turned out that they were the stewards who came to line up overnight at the homes of the nobles, with the purpose of booking the circus performance troupe to perform in their mansion as soon as possible.
The gatekeepers of the palace also knew about this, and those stewards held the pass tokens of each mansion and did not make things difficult, so they led them outside the temporary tent set up beside the palace racecourse.
After Ruyue received the news, she hurried to the racecourse regardless of her breakfast.
There were so many people, even though it was expected, Kisaragi was still taken aback.
She sat down quickly, directed the people to enter the registration, and distributed a notice to each person, which probably read: the safety of the people and horses in the circus troupe must be guaranteed, no outsiders are allowed to approach, and there are no more than three performances per day. field etc.
Regarding the maximum of three performances, the nobles and stewards have some opinions. Those lowly grooms and useless horses should be watched by their young masters and ladies.
However, this move won the hearts of everyone in the circus troupe. They were worried that the queen would enslave them to death. Now it seems that the queen treats them as real people, and also turns their horses into horses. Look!
Some people who originally planned to quit after earning some money in the first half of the year began to waver. Where can they find such a good master?
Although wandering abroad is free, it is also dangerous and precarious!What's more, the royal palace doesn't have high restrictions on them. If they are free, they can go out at any time after telling them where to go.
When Ru Yuet registered the list and date, he did not explain the required fee.
About this point, Zhang Zhu specifically confessed to her, without mentioning a word, even if someone asked quietly, just laughed it off.
Zhangzhu has learned from the successful experience of the last bicycle, not to mention the cost, those nobles will give enough gifts in return for comparison and face.
When the time comes, the highest gift will be properly leaked out. In order to impress her and Xi Liemo, the people behind will only send more and more gifts.
When the aristocrats find that they can’t afford it, various folk circus troupes must have developed. At that time, some small families and middle-class nobles will take the next best thing and set their sights on the folk circus troupe. , In this way, the entire Xiqiang circus performance project will become popular.
Zhangzhu believes that even if she doesn't take the initiative to let the circus troupe go to Li Country to perform, those shrewd businessmen will definitely set their sights on the wealthy Li Country.
The stewards of the aristocratic mansions who were scheduled to borrow the specific date of the circus performance troupe, Xing hurried back to report and sent a gift list in the afternoon.
This has never been done before, and the managers of each government are not sure how much to give. After communicating with the host, they have prepared three gift lists, and plan to decide which one is more appropriate to give according to the situation.
However, under Ruyue's intentional or unintentional hints, for example, only one white horse without variegation can be picked out of thousands of white horses, and only one of a hundred white horses without variegation can be selected that is more spiritual and suitable for circuses. Performance;
The costumes for this performance are all made of the valuable cloud brocade brought from the Li country; the accessories on the performers are all designed and made by famous craftsmen from the Li country, which are very valuable...
Every time Ru Yue said a word, the steward's heart trembled, and the fingers in the sleeves couldn't help but slowly moved to the gift list with higher specifications.
The aristocratic families who were relatively late in the schedule were better off, but the stewards of the several houses in the front had no choice but to grit their teeth and presented the highest standard gift list.
With the comparison, it is easier to handle, and there is some competition between the various governments, so naturally it cannot be less than others!Those who were less prepared, found an excuse to go back to the master’s house for further discussion, and those who were well-prepared, took them out on the spot, and couldn’t hide their pride.
As a result, later on, the later in the schedule, the richer the gift list, which made it difficult for the nobles who sent out the gift list first, so they had to find another excuse and send another big gift list.Of course, these are all a few days later.
Today is the [-]th, the first day after the new year, there are too many government affairs that have accumulated for half a month, and Xi Liemo has dealt with less than one-third of them after the morning, and it is getting dark. : "My lord, it's getting late, it's time for dinner."
Xi Liemo moved his neck and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony naturally. He had already forgotten about Zhang Zhu telling him that he should go to a certain beauty today.
Zhangzhu was discussing with Ruyue how to make the folk circus troupe develop in a relatively fair environment, when suddenly he heard Ru'an say: "The king is here!"
Zhangzhu was a little surprised, and there was even a hint of surprise in the surprise that she hadn't noticed.
It's already past the time for dinner on weekdays. When Zhang Zhu had dinner alone, he felt a little melancholy, thinking that Xi Liemo had already gone to the beauty's place.
Kisaragi resigned tactfully.Now she is quite used to the fact that as long as the king is around, she will not be able to serve the queen personally.
She used to feel a little lost in her heart, but these days the circus troupe has distracted her all her attention, and she doesn't even have time to feel lost.
"Ashu, order someone to prepare meals!" Xi Lie Mo said naturally while taking off his outer shirt.
Zhang Zhu stood still, hesitantly said: "Brother Amo, you should go to Chen Meiren's tonight, presumably Chen Meiren has prepared a meal and is waiting for you."
It was only then that Xi Liemo remembered what Zhang Zhu had said to him in the morning, paused for a moment with his undressed hand, and then said casually: "This king is tired today, and I don't want to go there, Ashu just send someone to tell Meiren Chen."
Zhangzhu's heart was desperately tangled at the moment. On the one hand, she seemed a little happy that Xi Liemo stayed, and on the other hand, her status as queen told her that she had to do her duty and could not follow him like this.
In the end, the status of the queen prevailed, "Brother Amo, all the sisters in the palace know about the bedtime watch. It was a waste of sister Chen's heart."
Tired and hungry, but still being pushed away by the woman he loves, Xi Liemo couldn't help being angry, his face was livid: "This is the harem of the king, whoever wants to serve the king has the final say!"
Zhang Zhu never expected that her warm voice would persuade her, but in exchange for his sarcastic remarks!She is the queen, and it is her responsibility to arrange the affairs of the harem. If the matter of attending the bedchamber cannot be carried out, how can there be any prestige in what she, the mother of the first palace, will say in the future?
Faced with Xi Liemo, who was so disregarding her position, Zhangzhu was also angry. She raised her face, and there was fire beating in her beautiful eyes. The harem doesn't have any rights?"
Xi Liemo didn't answer her, but just stared at her fiercely, his gaze seemed to tear her apart.
Zhang Zhu met his eyes without flinching, "If the king didn't mean that just now, please forgive me for my position and difficulties!"
Then who will forgive him?Waiting for the sleeping table, hum!When is he a stallion?One place today, one place tomorrow, we have to follow the arrangement!
Xi Liemo looked at the indifferent and heartless woman standing in front of him, and his heart suddenly turned cold. What did he gain by treating her wholeheartedly?
Xi Liemo's eyes were as cold as ice, staring at Zhangzhu's words, his voice was low and slow, without warmth but with a trace of pain: "Li Shu, don't think that this king must be you!"
After saying this, Xi Liemo stepped forward with both legs, strode past Zhang Zhu, didn't notice that after hearing these words, Zhang Zhu's complexion turned pale, and his body trembled slightly.
After the palace servants trotted behind Xi Liemo for a while, they finally couldn't help but boldly asked: "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
"Go to the study and order someone to prepare meals!" Xi Liemo held back his angry voice.
"Yes!" The palace man trembled, not daring to say a word, and quickly prepared.
Xi Liemo left as she wished, but Zhangzhu's mood was not happy because of it, she kept thinking about Xi Liemo's last words before leaving, "Li Shu, don't think that this king it has to be you!"
He was talking about Li Shu, not the queen!
If he was talking about the queen, it meant that he could have many choices for this later position; but he was talking about Li Shu, and her name was Li Shu.
No one had ever called her full name like that.Her father, mother, queen, and brother called her Ashu or Zhangzhu. She was a daughter and she was a younger sister. Others called her Princess. She was the eldest princess of a country.
But putting aside these identities, Li Shu is a woman!She once longed for Du Feng to call her like this, but he only wanted to call her princess in a distant manner.
Now, her marriage partner, Xi Liemo, the great king of Xiqiang, calls her Li Shu in anger!
(End of this chapter)
"Cousin?" Gongsun Min couldn't believe what he heard. She was obviously the victim, so why should her feet be restrained?
With tears still on her face, she shouted unconvinced: "Cousin, what did my cousin do wrong? Why did you ban my cousin's feet?"
"The crime of framing the queen!" Xi Liemo said coldly.
"Framed? Cousin, how can you be so biased? Even if you don't investigate, you say that your cousin has framed the queen? Cousin refuses to accept!" Gongsun Min cried out in grief.
Xi Liemo snorted coldly: "Check? The cousin will tell you first, why does the queen want to kill you, cousin?"
"The queen..." Gongsun Min was suddenly at a loss for words.
Why do you want to kill her?Yes, why did the queen want to kill her?Jealous of her beauty?It's so ridiculous, she is not even half of the queen's appearance!
Jealous of her favor?Cousin will be by the Queen's side most of the time in the next three months, who is jealous of whom!
Jealous of her good family background?What woman in this world can compare to Princess Li's identity?
Gongsun Min suddenly realized that he had done an extremely stupid thing!
She wanted Xi Liemo to believe that the queen wanted to kill her, but she couldn't find a reason why the queen wanted to kill her!
The queen is so lofty, she is the only princess of Li Guo who is loved and radiant by thousands of people. All the women in this world, including her, can only look up to her.
Such a person, why need to take action to harm those women who have no threat to her at all, and lower his status?
At least at this stage, the queen doesn't even bother, and she doesn't need to take action against any women around Xi Liemo!
"Send the princess back to Feiyang Palace! Watch carefully until she reflects on herself!" Xi Liemo's voice was cruel and devoid of emotion.
Gongsun Min's heart finally cooled down at this moment, and he also calmed down.
Growing up under the doting of Gongsun Yu, she has understood a truth since she was a child: the truth is never the most important thing, what is important is the person with supreme power, who does he believe in!
Even if the queen has a thousand reasons not to hurt others, if her cousin doesn't believe her, all her reasons are no reason!
What Gongsun Min understands, Zhang Zhu naturally understands too.
The whole farce centered on her, she hadn't had any chance to perform on stage before the curtain came to an end.
Zhang Zhu looked at Xi Liemo in a daze, wondering where did his complete trust in her come from?
He first gave her all his wealth and property to manage, and now he speaks out to defend her and trust her for no reason, and even shows no mercy to his cousin who grew up with him since he was a child!
A strange feeling spread from her heart, as gentle as water, enveloping her body and mind from inside to outside.
Zhangzhu felt that her heartbeat seemed to be a little faster, and the strange thing was that she didn't reject this feeling at all, but felt a little sweet on the contrary.
Xi Liemo was amazed by the rare gentle smile on her face, couldn't help but wink, and said cheaply: "Ashu, but you were fascinated by this king's demeanor just now?"
Disillusioned, the tenderness in Zhang Zhu's heart dissipated immediately, she resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and slightly bent down to salute: "Thank you, Brother Amo, for your rescue just now."
"Ashu, just saying thank you can't express your sincerity." Xi Liemo's eyes were bright with longing.
Zhang Zhu, who hadn't been with him for a long time, had basically figured out his temperament, stood up straight, and didn't answer his words, "Brother Amo, I arranged for the horse dancer I saw outside the palace today. Ayu will bring him into the palace tomorrow, do you want to meet Amo?"
Little girl film, learned to change the subject!
"Of course!" Xi Liemo replied quickly.
Just kidding, my queen wants to see her boyfriend, how can he not be here?
At this moment, Xi Liemo suddenly regretted that he had promised her not to trap her in the harem. In the future, his queen would definitely meet more foreign men, and he couldn't always be by her side to monitor.
However, since when did he become such a wronged king?His queen didn't want to revolve around him, so he had to revolve around his queen?
Xi Liemo stretched out a hand to stroke his chin, lost in thought.His queen's heart is not on him yet, it seems that he has to speed up!Otherwise, when will a little prince be born in Xiqiang?
His ministers' hints three years ago have now turned into explicit statements. If there is no movement in the next few months, I am afraid that the group of ministers who are concerned about the country and the people will come to the harem to personally supervise him and favor the beauties. .
-
On the second day, Zan Puzun was brought to the palace, together with several outstanding performers from the equestrian and horse training performances of the previous two days.
Xi Liemo and Zhang Zhu met them at the palace racecourse.
Including Zan Puzun, several people thought that the new queen was idle and wanted to see something new, so they all performed hard to get more rewards.
And everyone still has luck in their hearts, what if the king takes a fancy to it?Maybe the future is bright.
Because of these thoughts, the performance in the palace was naturally much more exciting than what I saw yesterday.
It was the first time that the concubine Gong Nai Ruan Ruyue, who was watching together, was even more excited when they saw it for the first time.Especially Kisaragi, whose little hands are red.
With the stimulation and encouragement of applause, the performers are also more excited.
Half an hour later, several people contributed an unprecedented wonderful performance.
Not only Zhang Zhu who came from Li country had never seen him, but also Xi Liemo, A Cong and other attendants who were in Xiqiang.
This is just a relatively primitive performance that has not been retrained and packaged. It has already attracted everyone's attention. Come up with more good ideas, this will surely become a popular performance in Xiqiang.
If it can cause shock in Xiqiang, where horses are not rare or unfamiliar, what kind of turmoil will it cause in Li, where horses are rare and rich?
Once there is such a way of making money, folk performing groups will grow rapidly, and related industries will also develop rapidly. The economy of Xiqiang may really be turned upside down because of this!
At this time, Xi Liemo realized that his queen's ambitions were much greater than he imagined!What she thinks and what she wants to do is never what he thinks, she just wants to try her own ability and try her best to do one thing well.
From the very beginning, she had the great ambition to change the economy of Xiqiang!
Xi Liemo's eyes suddenly became hotter. Such a palm ball, a palm ball with great ambitions, was born for him!
"Haha..." The proud and complacent Xi Liemo suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. If no outsiders were present at this time, he would definitely break his agreement with Zhangzhu, hugging her and kissing her hard.
However, his sudden laughter made everyone baffled.
Your Majesty, is this stupid?No matter how wonderful the performance is, there is no need to laugh so exaggeratedly, right?
"Your Majesty." Faced with his gaffe, Zhang Zhu reminded him in a low voice, only to find that he was looking at her with inexplicable eagerness, as if he wanted to swallow her into his stomach, which made her heart beat wildly. .
Xi Liemo took her hand without any scruples, and laughed boldly: "Okay, the performance is very good! All rewards!"
The performers on the stage were overjoyed when they heard the words, and knelt down one after another, "Thank you, King! Thank you, Queen!"
In front of everyone, Zhang Zhu was embarrassed to struggle, so she had to pretend not to care, only she knew the heat on her face.
She gave Kisaragi a wink, and Ruyue walked to the center of the arena understandingly, and said to everyone kneeling on the ground, "Heroes, the queen loves and appreciates your performance very much, and now I would like to invite you to join the royal circus performance team. How about next?"
Except Zan Puzun's heart skipped a beat, the rest of them didn't know how to react for a while.
Because those people are all free horse breeders, and they became free horse breeders only because they don't like restraint.They came to Kyoto purely for rewards for performances, but they had no intention of joining any performance team!If someone had told them what team they were going to join, maybe they would not have come.
It's just that the people above are the king and queen of the Western Qiang. First, they can't refuse casually. Second, there is an essential difference in identity between being a horse breeder of an ordinary noble family and being a horse breeder of the royal family. Their hearts, which had always been free, were slightly loosened again!
Ruyue didn't know what the following people were thinking, and continued according to Zhang Zhu's agreement with her earlier: "If you join the circus performance troupe, you will have a fixed monthly salary of one tael of silver, and if you perform in places other than the palace, then One hundred copper coins for each performance, except for the performance time, you can move freely during the rest of the time.
However, there is a requirement: every three months, you must come up with a new performance idea, if not, you will be disqualified from the performance; if you have no new ideas within a year, you will leave the performance team!
In addition, each of you must train three apprentices per year, and the ideas of the apprentices can also be used as the master's ideas until the apprentices become masters! "
In fact, what Ruyue said later, except for Zan Puzun, the rest of the people didn't hear what she said clearly.
One tael of silver per month, one hundred copper coins per performance, even if there is only one performance a day, there will be four taels of silver in a month, and 50 taels of silver in a year!
For people like them who earn less than five taels of silver a year, this temptation is too great!
For Zan Puzun, it doesn't matter how much he pays for a month or a performance. The important thing is that he has found what he is willing to dedicate his life to: building a huge circus performance kingdom!
At this time, Zan Puzun didn't know that Zhang Zhu actually had the same idea, and Zhang Zhu didn't know that Zan Puzun had a big dream in his heart, but at this magical moment, two people with the same ideals met, Then, in the near future, they jointly created a huge circus performance kingdom as they wished, which shocked all surrounding countries, including Li country!
"The little one is willing to accept the gift from the queen!" Everyone including Zan Puzun accepted the proposal on their knees.
Kisaragi said loudly: "Very good! Your first task is to perform a wonderful circus performance in the palace on the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival! Let all the princes and nobles see your heroic appearance!"
"Yes! I will try my best to ensure that the king and queen will not be disappointed!"
All the details about the circus troupe are actually mostly credited to Kisaragi.
When Zhangzhu took Ayu and Ji Ziqi to learn about the operation of commercial firms in the private sector, she occasionally chatted with Ruyue when she came back, and found that although she was not sensitive to politics, she was actually quite talented in business.
Therefore, when Zhangzhu married and came to Xiqiang, she brought Ruyue with her. After all, due to her own status, she couldn't personally take care of many things, and it was not convenient to find a man to manage them, so Ruyue became the most suitable candidate.
Even though Zhangzhu followed Ji Ziqi to understand the basic situation of the business operation and accepted some relatively new modern ideas, coupled with her own status, she has excellent foresight, but she is a born super rich second generation , although Ji Ziqi imposed some concept of silver on her, but to her, there is no difference between one tael a month and ten taels of silver!
Fortunately, in the process of studying with Ji Ziqi, Zhangzhu knew this weakness of his own, so there is a division of labor and cooperation: Zhangzhu Zhanghang is responsible for the formulation of the general direction and strategy, and Ruyue is responsible for the specific Implement and manage!
Another point is that Zhang Zhu, as the eldest princess of the Li country, sees and uses the best things in the world, so she can know what kind of things can attract the eyes of nobles, and what kind of styles make jade more attractive. Beautiful is more valuable!
After sharing the meticulous and practical work with Kisaragi, Zhang Zhu determined the direction of her future efforts!
Soon, the Lantern Festival is here.
The Xiqiang Lantern Festival is a national celebration event, which is different from the Lantern Festival in the Li Kingdom. It is called the Fire Dance Festival, which is what Xi Liemo mentioned to Zhang Zhu when he was in the Li Kingdom.
Xi Liemo originally planned to take Zhang Zhu out of the palace to watch the Fire Dance Festival on the fifteenth day, and he still remembered the longing and longing expression on Zhang Zhu's face when he listened to his description.
It's a pity that his queen put the promotion of the circus troupe first, and put her personal thoughts behind.
This also made Xi Liemo very depressed for a time. He is a king of a country, every day he thinks about how to make his queen agree to his courtship, and his queen thinks every day about how to make his subjects live better !
Is the cart before the horse?But when he saw Zhang Zhu's beautiful little face, this depression quickly dissipated.
Continuing the blood and incense is more important to the long-term development and stability of Xiqiang than developing the economy!His queen is just not yet enlightened, if he doesn't take the initiative, wait for his queen to automatically understand his feelings and interests, I don't know when it will be!
For the future of Xiqiang, and for the little prince to come to the world as soon as possible, Xi Liemo feels that the things he is doing now are also very, very important things!
Xiqiang has never had the custom of ministers and nobles entering the palace to celebrate the Lantern Festival with the royal family, so when they received a message from the Xiliemo sect stating that the whole family would enter the palace together to celebrate the festive season, they were a little surprised at first.
But it soon became clear.I heard that every year the royal family of the Li Kingdom spends the Lantern Festival together, and the new queen is the eldest princess of the Li Kingdom. Presumably, they want to bring this custom of the Li Kingdom to Xiqiang.
It doesn't matter if they are older, it's quite fresh to celebrate the Lantern Festival at home every year, and occasionally the family goes to the palace once in a while.
But those young noblemen and ladies were a little unhappy.
Because they have been preparing for a whole year, just to show off at the Fire Dance Festival, but when the new queen came, they didn't give them psychological preparation in advance, disrupting their overall plan.
But the ancestors of the family didn't say anything, and those of the younger generation didn't dare to say anything except whispering a few words to express their dissatisfaction.
The dinner is traditional Xiqiang food. On this auspicious day of universal celebration, Zhangzhu can't make any exceptions, and also enjoys Xiqiang food together.
After taking a few small bites, I actually felt that it was not as hard to swallow as I remembered, but had a unique taste.
Xi Liemo smiled and looked at his queen, tasting the food on the table with a very novel expression. The feeling that she accepted Xiqiang cuisine, just like she accepted him, made him very happy.
The pampering in his eyes could not be concealed, and the princesses and beauties who were watching were jealous, especially Gongsun Min, Huyan Yunxi, and even Helan Qingcheng who had already thrown himself into the arms of others.If he was willing to look at her with such eyes back then, how could she be willing to fall into Xi Lingyun's arms?He Lan Qingcheng looked at Xi Liemo and Zhang Zhu with deep hatred hidden in his eyes.
Halfway through the dinner, the circus performance began.
Including Zan Puzun, plus those selected in the next two days, the total number of people performing this time is 20 people.
Most of the 20-person performances were not individual performances as before, but were arranged into one-by-one programs.
Some shows have three people and three horses, some have five people and ten horses, some have ten people and ten horses, and some have one person and ten horses. For example, Zan Puzun’s horse dance performance is also the finale performance of the whole program.
It is not difficult to perform a horse riding competition by one person. After all, everyone in Xiqiang is good at riding, and at most there are more tricks.
But when at the beginning, ten people and ten horses, all white horses, red clothes and red saddles, were doing the same movements in unison, it had to be amazing.
Not only the jumping and dancing of horsebacks, but the most thrilling and exciting thing is ten people and ten horses running in steps. One person jumps on the horse of the previous person, and the whole movement is done in one go. The horse unexpectedly broke away from the original team spiritually, ran directly towards him, and then returned to the stepped formation of ten men and ten horses.
There were constant cheers and exclamations in the stands, and the noble boys and girls who had accumulated energy for a year vented all their enthusiasm in their shouts.
This is much more interesting than the annual Fire Dance Festival!The boys and girls who were full of dissatisfaction put their previous complaints behind them not long after the equestrian show started.
Zan Puzun's bamboo flute horse dance brought the whole performance to a climax. When the ten white horses danced to the rhythm of the bamboo flute played by the young man in white, the entire palace was silent.
Their mouths were wide enough to hold a whole egg, and their usual noble and decent demeanor was completely lost.
It wasn't until the sound of the bamboo flute stopped, the young man in white bowed down to salute, and the ten horses knelt on their front hooves as a gesture of salute, that all the people in the palace reflected it, and then there was a wave of applause.
Some young masters and ladies who were younger shouted one after another: "It's beautiful, let's play another song!"
The adults beside him were caught off guard and couldn't even cover their mouths in a hurry, so they all knelt down to apologize to Xi Liemo.
Xi Liemo waved his hand generously, "No problem! Today is a festive season, everyone celebrates it together, don't take these little things to heart!"
Then he turned his head to Zhang Zhu and raised his eyebrows with a smile: "Queen, all Ai Qing and their families haven't seen enough, how about doing it again?"
Zhangzhu smiled and nodded lightly, "Listen to the king's orders!"
The original arrangement was to prepare a few extra programs just in case, but now they all come in handy.
Then the applause and cheers continued, and Zan Puzun, who was the finale, had to perform two more pieces before being allowed to leave the stage by the unsatisfied crowd.
Although the circus performance is over, the excitement brought to everyone has not dissipated, and the following food is also ignored, and they are excitedly discussing the unprecedented performance just seen.
Then, some ministers couldn't resist the request of their nephews at home, and said, "Your Majesty, Queen, where did you invite this performance team?"
Xi Liemo said with a smile: "The Queen has nothing to do. She formed it by herself. It is specially used to relieve boredom. It is also used during some festivals for your love to watch and relax."
It turned out to be the Queen's own!Some people who originally thought about spending money to invite the circus troupe to perform, gave up their minds.
"However, the queen of this circus troupe will get tired of watching it alone every day, so the queen once suggested to the king that if any noble minister's family wants to borrow a performance for a day or two, just say hello to her in advance." Xi Liemo road.
As soon as this remark came out, all the nobles, young masters and ladies below were all excited, and even the old men who were usually moody and angry showed a faint smile on their faces.
That's great!
"Thank you, King! Thank you, Queen!" These are probably the most sincere words today.
Some favored ministers said directly, "Queen, it's my son's birthday in five days, can you use this circus troupe?"
"Of course!" Zhang Zhu nodded with a smile.
This is terrible, all the ministers rushed to speak in the entire palace, "Queen, in seven days...", "Queen, in ten days..."
There were too many people and the voices were too mixed. Some people seemed to have a dispute because they bumped into each other because of the day.
Xi Liemo coughed twice, and raised the volume: "My dear friends, don't worry! Send people one by one to the queen to get the records tomorrow, don't snatch them, everyone has a share!"
Those ministers who are usually mature and prudent, realized at this moment how loud they were just now, they couldn't help but blushed, and they all fell silent.
Xi Liemo nodded in satisfaction, "That's all for today, tomorrow morning will be early, dear friends, go back early and rest."
"Yes, king, queen!"
It's already late today, and it's going to be early tomorrow, it seems that Xi Lingyun can't go to accompany him!He Lan Qingcheng pretended to glance in the direction of Xi Lingyun casually.
But unexpectedly, she discovered that her man Xi Lingyun was staring at the queen in high-ranking costumes motionless at this time, showing familiar lewd eyes, as if he wanted to strip her off her clothes, and press her down on the ground to love her fiercely!
The enthusiasm in those eyes was something Helan Qingcheng had never seen before, even when they were most intimate!She froze for a moment.
What Helan Qingcheng didn't know was that the dazed expression she stared at Xi Lingyun inadvertently fell into the eyes of Huyan Yunxi who was staring at Xi Lingyun.
Originally, after receiving her message, Hu Yanlong was very happy and agreed with her actions, but after only three days, he sent someone into the palace to inform her that this matter should not continue.
Huyan Yunxi was very puzzled, but Huyanlong refused to tell her why, and only asked her to follow orders and not to be too troublesome.
However, Huyan Yunxi refused to let go of such a good opportunity.Since Hu Yanlong was afraid and didn't want to show up, she could finish it by herself.
Anyway, she Huyan Yunxi has nothing but patience!She believed that she would definitely catch some clues about Xi Lingyun, and then link him with Gongsun Min, hitting Gongsun Min and the Gongsun family behind him!
-
On the second day, before the gate of the palace opened, there was a long line of people outside.
As soon as the gatekeeper opened the palace gate, he was startled by the dragon.
It turned out that they were the stewards who came to line up overnight at the homes of the nobles, with the purpose of booking the circus performance troupe to perform in their mansion as soon as possible.
The gatekeepers of the palace also knew about this, and those stewards held the pass tokens of each mansion and did not make things difficult, so they led them outside the temporary tent set up beside the palace racecourse.
After Ruyue received the news, she hurried to the racecourse regardless of her breakfast.
There were so many people, even though it was expected, Kisaragi was still taken aback.
She sat down quickly, directed the people to enter the registration, and distributed a notice to each person, which probably read: the safety of the people and horses in the circus troupe must be guaranteed, no outsiders are allowed to approach, and there are no more than three performances per day. field etc.
Regarding the maximum of three performances, the nobles and stewards have some opinions. Those lowly grooms and useless horses should be watched by their young masters and ladies.
However, this move won the hearts of everyone in the circus troupe. They were worried that the queen would enslave them to death. Now it seems that the queen treats them as real people, and also turns their horses into horses. Look!
Some people who originally planned to quit after earning some money in the first half of the year began to waver. Where can they find such a good master?
Although wandering abroad is free, it is also dangerous and precarious!What's more, the royal palace doesn't have high restrictions on them. If they are free, they can go out at any time after telling them where to go.
When Ru Yuet registered the list and date, he did not explain the required fee.
About this point, Zhang Zhu specifically confessed to her, without mentioning a word, even if someone asked quietly, just laughed it off.
Zhangzhu has learned from the successful experience of the last bicycle, not to mention the cost, those nobles will give enough gifts in return for comparison and face.
When the time comes, the highest gift will be properly leaked out. In order to impress her and Xi Liemo, the people behind will only send more and more gifts.
When the aristocrats find that they can’t afford it, various folk circus troupes must have developed. At that time, some small families and middle-class nobles will take the next best thing and set their sights on the folk circus troupe. , In this way, the entire Xiqiang circus performance project will become popular.
Zhangzhu believes that even if she doesn't take the initiative to let the circus troupe go to Li Country to perform, those shrewd businessmen will definitely set their sights on the wealthy Li Country.
The stewards of the aristocratic mansions who were scheduled to borrow the specific date of the circus performance troupe, Xing hurried back to report and sent a gift list in the afternoon.
This has never been done before, and the managers of each government are not sure how much to give. After communicating with the host, they have prepared three gift lists, and plan to decide which one is more appropriate to give according to the situation.
However, under Ruyue's intentional or unintentional hints, for example, only one white horse without variegation can be picked out of thousands of white horses, and only one of a hundred white horses without variegation can be selected that is more spiritual and suitable for circuses. Performance;
The costumes for this performance are all made of the valuable cloud brocade brought from the Li country; the accessories on the performers are all designed and made by famous craftsmen from the Li country, which are very valuable...
Every time Ru Yue said a word, the steward's heart trembled, and the fingers in the sleeves couldn't help but slowly moved to the gift list with higher specifications.
The aristocratic families who were relatively late in the schedule were better off, but the stewards of the several houses in the front had no choice but to grit their teeth and presented the highest standard gift list.
With the comparison, it is easier to handle, and there is some competition between the various governments, so naturally it cannot be less than others!Those who were less prepared, found an excuse to go back to the master’s house for further discussion, and those who were well-prepared, took them out on the spot, and couldn’t hide their pride.
As a result, later on, the later in the schedule, the richer the gift list, which made it difficult for the nobles who sent out the gift list first, so they had to find another excuse and send another big gift list.Of course, these are all a few days later.
Today is the [-]th, the first day after the new year, there are too many government affairs that have accumulated for half a month, and Xi Liemo has dealt with less than one-third of them after the morning, and it is getting dark. : "My lord, it's getting late, it's time for dinner."
Xi Liemo moved his neck and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony naturally. He had already forgotten about Zhang Zhu telling him that he should go to a certain beauty today.
Zhangzhu was discussing with Ruyue how to make the folk circus troupe develop in a relatively fair environment, when suddenly he heard Ru'an say: "The king is here!"
Zhangzhu was a little surprised, and there was even a hint of surprise in the surprise that she hadn't noticed.
It's already past the time for dinner on weekdays. When Zhang Zhu had dinner alone, he felt a little melancholy, thinking that Xi Liemo had already gone to the beauty's place.
Kisaragi resigned tactfully.Now she is quite used to the fact that as long as the king is around, she will not be able to serve the queen personally.
She used to feel a little lost in her heart, but these days the circus troupe has distracted her all her attention, and she doesn't even have time to feel lost.
"Ashu, order someone to prepare meals!" Xi Lie Mo said naturally while taking off his outer shirt.
Zhang Zhu stood still, hesitantly said: "Brother Amo, you should go to Chen Meiren's tonight, presumably Chen Meiren has prepared a meal and is waiting for you."
It was only then that Xi Liemo remembered what Zhang Zhu had said to him in the morning, paused for a moment with his undressed hand, and then said casually: "This king is tired today, and I don't want to go there, Ashu just send someone to tell Meiren Chen."
Zhangzhu's heart was desperately tangled at the moment. On the one hand, she seemed a little happy that Xi Liemo stayed, and on the other hand, her status as queen told her that she had to do her duty and could not follow him like this.
In the end, the status of the queen prevailed, "Brother Amo, all the sisters in the palace know about the bedtime watch. It was a waste of sister Chen's heart."
Tired and hungry, but still being pushed away by the woman he loves, Xi Liemo couldn't help being angry, his face was livid: "This is the harem of the king, whoever wants to serve the king has the final say!"
Zhang Zhu never expected that her warm voice would persuade her, but in exchange for his sarcastic remarks!She is the queen, and it is her responsibility to arrange the affairs of the harem. If the matter of attending the bedchamber cannot be carried out, how can there be any prestige in what she, the mother of the first palace, will say in the future?
Faced with Xi Liemo, who was so disregarding her position, Zhangzhu was also angry. She raised her face, and there was fire beating in her beautiful eyes. The harem doesn't have any rights?"
Xi Liemo didn't answer her, but just stared at her fiercely, his gaze seemed to tear her apart.
Zhang Zhu met his eyes without flinching, "If the king didn't mean that just now, please forgive me for my position and difficulties!"
Then who will forgive him?Waiting for the sleeping table, hum!When is he a stallion?One place today, one place tomorrow, we have to follow the arrangement!
Xi Liemo looked at the indifferent and heartless woman standing in front of him, and his heart suddenly turned cold. What did he gain by treating her wholeheartedly?
Xi Liemo's eyes were as cold as ice, staring at Zhangzhu's words, his voice was low and slow, without warmth but with a trace of pain: "Li Shu, don't think that this king must be you!"
After saying this, Xi Liemo stepped forward with both legs, strode past Zhang Zhu, didn't notice that after hearing these words, Zhang Zhu's complexion turned pale, and his body trembled slightly.
After the palace servants trotted behind Xi Liemo for a while, they finally couldn't help but boldly asked: "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
"Go to the study and order someone to prepare meals!" Xi Liemo held back his angry voice.
"Yes!" The palace man trembled, not daring to say a word, and quickly prepared.
Xi Liemo left as she wished, but Zhangzhu's mood was not happy because of it, she kept thinking about Xi Liemo's last words before leaving, "Li Shu, don't think that this king it has to be you!"
He was talking about Li Shu, not the queen!
If he was talking about the queen, it meant that he could have many choices for this later position; but he was talking about Li Shu, and her name was Li Shu.
No one had ever called her full name like that.Her father, mother, queen, and brother called her Ashu or Zhangzhu. She was a daughter and she was a younger sister. Others called her Princess. She was the eldest princess of a country.
But putting aside these identities, Li Shu is a woman!She once longed for Du Feng to call her like this, but he only wanted to call her princess in a distant manner.
Now, her marriage partner, Xi Liemo, the great king of Xiqiang, calls her Li Shu in anger!
