Bright moon out of Tianshan

On the eve of the eve, the situation at the battle between the two countries on the front line stabilized slightly, and Zhao Yuancai rushed back to Taiyuan to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with a large number of entourage.As soon as he arrived in Taiyuan City, he gave Xiao Jian an official position, and he was a relative of Xun Yiwei Yulin Zhonglang, a fourth rank, with [-] forbidden troops in the capital, stationed more than [-] miles outside the east gate to guard Youzhou, the capital of the Northern Yan Kingdom. Kwong Cheong Road.Putting him in the east, Zhao Yuancai also has his own plans. He always suspects that Xiao Jian and Gao Huai are involved in collusion, but it is well known that Gao Huai and Gao Hong are now at odds with each other.Even if Gao Hong conquered the capital of Northern Yan one day, this Guangchang Road would never be lent to Gao Huai.What's more, now that Beiyan and Zhao Guozheng are hooking up happily, the defenders on Guangchang Road are idle there, so Zhao Yuancai feels relieved to put Xiao Jian here.

When Xiao remonstrated to thank you, Zhao Yuancai sneered and said: "You used to be a small congregation in Dongqi and suffered a lot of grievances. Don't think I don't know. This time I will be more generous. If you don't believe me, your heart is as hard as iron." of."

Of course Xiao Jian's heart was not made of iron. Hearing this, he stared at him blankly and said nothing.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Zhao's palace is bustling with preparations.In the imperial garden, there is a Qing Dynasty business table cast from white marble, covered with thick woolen carpets, where a feast of various mooncakes, snacks, and fresh fruits and vegetables was held.His Majesty the Emperor wanted to take his civil and military officials to enjoy the moon, and when the civil and military officials received the scene, they retreated and went back to reunite with their families.Then the harem concubines and male pet slaves came to accompany the emperor to have fun and enjoy the moon.

It's a pity that there are too many concubines and male favorites of his, and there is no room for him to sit on the Qing business platform, so he has to choose the one who is worthy of the emperor.Therefore, the chief eunuch in the palace spent a lot of thought before arranging this matter properly.

At this time of solar terms, the night is cool and the moonlight is like water, Xiao Jian leaned against the white jade railing on the Qingshang Terrace, bursts of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance permeated his body, lingering around him.Looking at the noisy crowd in front of me, and the carved fences and jade buildings, the flying beams and painted buildings, it is hard to avoid the pain of homesickness and the sigh of going to the country.

Linglong brought a group of girls and danced in the open space on the stage. Her figure was slim and elegant, light and swift, just like Chang'e fairy descended into the world.Everyone applauded, but Zhao Yuancai said: "It's not good-looking! Linglong, why are you wearing a dark green dance dress today? Although the moonlight is bright, you can't see anything."

Linglong was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, you are the one who made my servants wear dark green. Have you forgotten?"

Zhao Yuancai squinted his eyes and said: "I haven't forgotten, but you should wear white gauze today! Forget it, you don't have the ability to draw inferences from one instance to another, and it will be useless for me to support you any longer." Squintingly glanced at Xiao Jian who was standing far away: "Do you know that someone has taken a fancy to you and wants you!"

Linglong shivered in fright, "Who?"

Zhao Yuancai said: "I...don't tell you, I want to go. Dance, dance!" Linglong hurriedly led the girls to continue dancing.Zhao Yuancai drank too much wine, excited to watch, suddenly pulled Baili Rong who was leaning against him, and said, "Come on, let's dance too!" Pulling him, he broke into the group of girls, and was in Linglong's He twitched his chin, causing an exaggerated exclamation.Seeing the king's actions, the musicians hurriedly played hard, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

He brought Bailirong, it didn't look like he was dancing, but it seemed like he was practicing martial arts, and he made a lot of noise, causing the girls to stumble and stagger, unable to dodge, so they screamed coquettishly.The situation suddenly became chaotic.

Zhao Yuancai laughed happily, and said to Xiao Jian: "Xiaoxiao, you play the flute for us! Lord, I like to hear the sound of your flute."

Xiao Jian said: "Observe the edict." He took out his flute and played a piece of "Song on the Frontier". Zhao Yuancai and Bai Lirong danced to the sound of his flute.Where the two raised their hands and feet, Zhao Yuancai was vigorous, Baili Rong was soft and charming, and they complemented each other beautifully.Accompanied by the distant and soft sound of the flute, it is Huayue who is figuring out the shadow, so it seems to be in the world!

In the end, the two of them rolled to the ground together with the curling end of the flute sound. Linglong was tripped by Zhao Yuancai's foot stretching out and fell on top of him. The three of them laughed together.Such a drunken carnival, the people next to him also booed, the noise was extremely lively.Xiao Jian sighed in his heart: "This emperor is really crazy, really crazy! But it's also very interesting." But the emperor suddenly shouted: "Xiaoxiao, you play the flute well, I will give you Linglong today, You take it away!"

Xiao Jian was stunned, Linglong exclaimed "Oh my god" and said, "Why is it him? Your Majesty, don't, I don't want to follow this ugly monster!"

Zhao Yuancai turned over, pressed her slender and flexible waist, and said: "If you dare to resist the order, I will cut off your waist!" Linglong couldn't move, so she had to beg her: "Your Majesty, do you think Linglong is not good at serving you?"

Zhao Yuancai said with a smile: "You serve him well. But I like him, and unfortunately he also likes you. In order to please him, I had to give you to him. In my heart, I don't want you to spoil him. But If you don't want to part with your child, you can't beat the wolf, and you have to be patient."

Linglong wanted to cry without tears: "Your Majesty, my family is a delicate and weak girl, who spoiled whom?"

Zhao Yuancai said: "No matter, you go!" He was very drunk, and stretched out his hand to push Linglong, Xiao Jian hurriedly came up to thank her, and took a moment to stare at Linglong, Linglong also stared back, showing no sign of weakness.

Zhao Yuancai saw it, and said with a smile: "Is this a flirtatious look? Go ahead, today is the wedding night for the two of you. It's a beautiful day, so don't miss it."

Xiao Jian took Linglong all the way back to his room, and Linglong followed him angrily, reluctantly.After entering Mingjietang's bedroom, Xiao Xuefei, the owner of the Ecstasy Hall, showed his original shape, changed his face, went up and grabbed Xiao Jian's clothes, and tore off his mask, saying viciously: "Damn it!" Boy, it really is you, you are crazy! How dare you play sister's idea! Since you have taken a fancy to sister, let's do it for real, you better not run away!"

Xiao Jian flicked her hand away, and said, "You are crazy! Why are you scratching me? Let my elder brother know, and I will definitely scold you."

Xiao Xuefei said angrily: "Don't bring out your eldest brother to scare me, he is in Youzhou, and he can't come here! Tell me, why did you bring me here? You are not clear about your flirting with the third prince. You broke your sleeves after following him. I don't believe you are still interested in women."

Xiao Jian smiled and said: "You are right, I am indeed not interested in you. But in a foreign country, no matter what inconvenience you do, let us be a companion. Sister, why did you come to Zhao country? "

Xiao Xuefei glared at him, and said angrily, "I'm here to steal the jade seal."

Xiao Jian sighed and said: "There is a long way to go, have you stolen it?"

Xiao Xuefei flicked his sleeves, bawled, and sat down on the edge of the long rosewood couch behind him, complaining: "Shit! I didn't even steal a single hair of the jade seal! The emperor hid the jade seal very well. It’s just that I heard that in the imperial study, I sneaked in several times, but I didn’t find it. I guess no one should know where it is except him. What are you still doing? Pour me tea!”

Xiao Jian hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, thinking: "It seems that Jiangnan Five Great Halls are all dispatched for the sake of the third prince." He sat down beside Xiao Xuefei, and said with a smile: "Sister, do you know What are Baili Rong and Xiumei from the Thirteen Banners here for? I asked Xiumei, but he refused to say."

Xiao Xuefei said: "You are useless, can't you talk to him even if you guard him? Beat me on the shoulder, I'm exhausted from dancing every day, if this continues, sister, I will really become a maiko."

Xiao Jian shook his hands into a fist and gave her a gentle thump on the shoulder. Xiao Xuefei was finally satisfied, and said, "I know a little about it. You know that Zhao Yuancai's former queen was Gao Yan, Princess Anya of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and Zhao Yuancai killed her." This incident was caused by Baili Rong."

"At that time, Bailirong was presented to the monarch by a minister of Zhao State. The monarch took a fancy to him at a glance and ignored the queen. The queen was in vain at first, and it didn't matter whether she was ignored or not. In the end, it was fine. People from the Three Banners came to Zhao, and it is said that there were three of them. The other one was Pei Ruohong, the second head of the Hongqi Gate of the Thirteen Banners. Pei Ruohong somehow sneaked into Princess Anya's bedroom. The princess was drugged, and Zhao Yuancai happened to be able to hold back the news. It was obviously a trap, but Zhao Yuancai got angry and killed Princess Anya. It is said that he regretted it after killing him, and ordered A rich burial. Pei Ruohong took advantage of the chaos and escaped. But not long after the burial, she heard that Princess Anya's head was lost. It turned out that Pei Ruohong stole the head and sent it to the palace of Dongqi. He wrote a letter, which made the old emperor vomit blood in anger. He didn’t come back, and I heard that he was killed.”

Xiao Jian said: "In this way, they also came here under orders, and their intention is very clear. They just want to stir up disputes between the two countries."

Xiao Xuefei said: "That's probably the case, we don't understand this either. In June of last year, when Zhao Guo and Dong Qi had already sent troops, I was chased by my elder brother and asked me to steal the jade seal while waiting for the opportunity. This is all rumored by other people in the palace. Now that the jade seal has not been obtained, you have turned it around. Zhao Yuancai has even left me in the cold when you come here. I don’t know when I will get this jade seal. Xiao Tiantian, since everything is wrong I blame you, I will let you steal the jade seal! Maybe Zhao Yuancai will take the initiative to take out the jade seal if you obediently serve the bed twice."

Xiao Jian glanced at her, and said: "Yuxi is not a big deal, let's talk about it later. The key is who Bailirong and Xiumei are instigated by now."

Xiao Xuefei said: "Does it matter? It must be Wang Junlin and Ye Qi from Thirteen Banners."

Xiao Jian said: "No, Chief Wang and the Seventh Young Master would not send people to such a far place as Taiyuan for no reason. There is another person who instigated this matter, I think it is the eldest prince Gao Hong."

Xiao Xuefei stared blankly at him with big dark blue eyes, and said, "What you said... I don't understand, what does this have to do with Gao Hong?"

Xiao Jian said: "I guess, Gao Hong always wanted Taiyuan and provoked disputes in order to justifiably send troops to Zhao Kingdom. However, Emperor Xu Wen asked the third prince to send troops to Zhao Kingdom, so he had to go to Beiyan. Now he is in Beiyan , in his heart, he still thinks about Taiyuan."
