The Happy Man in the Red Chamber

Chapter 24 Meeting Shinzong

Zhenzong was amazed for the first time when he looked at the family members of the officials who were visiting below and sitting according to their grades.He has seen beautiful women before, whether as a prince or the current emperor.I've seen a lot of stunning ones, but I've never seen that kind of graceful and luxurious person who reveals delicate and pure beauty.It is as beautiful as a peony, but not demonic.Dignified but beautiful, with a beautiful face but a clear temperament.The fine golden flowers on the forehead, matched with the peach blossom makeup handed down from the Tang Dynasty, can be said to be overwhelming.Even the Zhen family, who has always practiced martial arts and has the symbol of Cihang Jingzhai Buddhist cultivation, is inferior.

Zhen Guifei sat on the side, followed the emperor's line of sight and saw a beautiful woman.If you observe carefully, you can see that it is a woman with a soft figure and a charming posture.She frowned, that kind of glamorous beauty made her feel dazzling.Turning her head to look at the emperor who seemed to be attracted, she whispered: "Your Majesty, can we have a banquet?"

"Let's go!" Zhenzong froze for a moment, and ordered to go on.

The banquet is very simple, and the food is just to look good.The singing and dancing are not very good either, An Lan has no interest in it.I'm just curious about the palace, and it looks like that's the case.

After eating wine, the sweet plum wine is very suitable for solar terms, and of course it also corresponds to An Lan's appetite.Just looking at the emperor's eyes, there seems to be quite a surprise and something else.An Lan couldn't think of so many things, so she just told herself to ignore it.Because there was alcohol smell on his body, and he didn't want to use his internal force to loosen the alcohol, so that his whole body smelled of alcohol, so he got up and quit to relax.Zhenzong watched her leave, frowned and looked at Concubine Xian who was sitting below:

"My concubine, you have never been in good health, so don't drink too much. I will accompany you out for a walk." He got up to let the others enjoy themselves, and left with the somewhat unknown concubine Xian.Concubine Zhen looked at it, frowned and said to the maid who was serving beside her, "Let people watch."

An Lan walked around the garden outside, finding a piece of Taihu Lake stone and sitting on it, feeling that it was meaningless.Yingluo who was following her helplessly fanned her: "Ma'am, this Taihu stone is very cold and hard. Even if you have time, don't be self-willed. If you hurt your body in the future, you will feel better. Then the mansion next door Respect to the lady of the great master, isn't it just that she is young and doesn't care about it, and she is still taking medicine when the cold enters her body!"

"What else do I need to pay attention to?" An Lan rolled her eyes and looked up at the devastated starry sky: "You were sent by the Chen family. Is this the [-]th or the [-]th year?"

"Me?" Yingluo didn't understand why it fell on her head, she shook her head: "You are looking at my stature, I am only 13 years old this year."

An Lan stared wide-eyed at the well-proportioned and slightly curvaceous girl.He rolled his eyes: "What did you eat to grow up!"

"Whole grains! There is more meat..." Yingluo is not as smart as Liuli, and she is pretty good-looking, but she has a straightforward and innocent personality.Hearing what An Lan said, she lowered her head and looked at the toe of her shoe in embarrassment: "Madam, if you think I eat too much, I will just eat less in the future."

"Your master, how can I shorten your food?" An Lan smiled helplessly, turned her head to look aside, and saw Zhenzong walking over with a concubine.She hurriedly got up and knelt down two steps forward to salute: "May the emperor be blessed with peace of mind."

"This is Concubine Xian!" Zhenzong didn't shout, but just introduced Concubine Xian.

"Concubine Xian Jin'an!"

"Get up!" Concubine Xian was soft-tempered, and she spoke softly like Wu Nong.An Lan got up and thought about Zhenzong's gaze before, and boldly looked over: "I feel a little drunk, and I don't want to disturb Shengjia when I come out to relax."

She lowered her head slightly, revealing her fair neck, which made Zhenzong's eyes darken: "It's okay. I followed you. Qixiufang... Lin Le?"

Hearing that name, An Lan lost all intention of putting on a show, tensed her muscles and rushed towards him, with the corners of her mouth slightly curled up: "Dayong Zhenzong, Mu Qixian."

Zhenzong was slightly taller than her, and the rocky rockery of Taihu Lake that she had seen once covered it very densely.With a light tiptoe, he chose a short Taihu Lake stone and floated up, and sat lazily on it: "Since you said that name, you might as well open the window and speak brightly. The great ancestor of Dayong once had an oral order, Jiang Hu It's a matter of Jianghu. Heroes are not banned by martial arts, and officials are not allowed to force them. I don't know, what are you looking for today?"

Zhenzong pulled Concubine Xian to find a Taihu stone and sat down, shook his robe and didn't care about An Lan's rudeness: "Cihang Jingzhai."

"The Seven Embroidery Workshop has never had anything to do with Cihang Jingzhai. Besides, the Seven Embroidery Workshop has been closed for many years."

"Then... how about Yuhuan Taizhen?" Zhenzong's gaze was like a torch, and he wanted to see something from this beautiful woman.Hearing him mention Yang Yuhuan, An Lan smiled: "The emperor thinks... how do you say that your favorite concubine and Wu Huang Zhou Zheng...?"

She chuckled softly, and turned her wrist to look at the red musk beads she was wearing today: "Back then, Qixiufang was a place to teach women and take in those women who lost their family members or had a miserable fate. Right now, it's only functional It's just a little more. But to say, compared with Cihang Jingzhai, I don't want to touch that mold. They all think that they are for the sake of the country and the country, throwing their heads and blood. Such a righteous sect, seven I am afraid that the small daughter's family in the embroidery workshop can't be compared. What's more, the meritorious deeds of the family will be implicated here."

After hearing her words, Zhenzong held Concubine Xian's hand and groped gently: "I hear what you mean, are you planning to intervene?"

"There's no point in meddling." An Lan raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "You look like an elderly person, and you're in the middle of the game right now, so you can't understand it. As an outsider, I can see it very clearly. Cihang Jingzhai Compared with the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, they are much weaker. From the point of view of martial arts, they can't cultivate a sword heart. Just because of this, they dare not touch my Seven Embroidery Workshop. Because I am already innate. The next step is to enter the Tao. From the perspective of education for descendants, take a look at the concubine Zhen in your palace and the harem of the previous emperors.

If it was in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, I am afraid that you, the emperor, would have been unable to sit still.But what about now?What he was playing was nothing more than the underworld tricks of the housewife.If this thing fell to the Zhen family in the past, then there would be no concubine Zhen in the future.It's that Prince Zhongshun, in my opinion, he doesn't even have a point for the King Yi back then.In this way, as long as the front court runs properly, what will happen in the future... Aren't they all women?I think for you, the emperor, there is actually no difference between having one more woman in the harem and one less woman! "

How could Zhenzong not hear the irony in her tone, but he had to agree with her words.But some things are not so simple.He looked at An Lan with some uncertainty in his eyes: "If I... Rongguo Mansion wants to come, then Jia Amnesty..."

"Whatever you want!" An Lan understood what he meant, and smiled indifferently: "Your Majesty may have misunderstood many things. First, as An Lan of the Xing family, the cause and effect between me and Rongguo Mansion lies in the prosperity and decline of Rongguo Mansion." .Once the Rongguo Mansion declines, and the nobles go to slaves, this karma will be over. I stay here for this karma. Second, I have no husband and wife relationship with Jia She, but It's because he needs a wife, and I need the identity of Xing's Anlan. Thirdly, Cihang Jingzhai and us are at peace right now. Things in the Jianghu are also turbulent. If the two powers are fighting, maybe others will get involved There's a loophole. It's not necessary."

Hearing An Lan's words, Zhenzong frowned: "Don't you all say that the family, the country, and the world are moral? How can you face the country and society, but you don't."

Hearing this sentence, An Lan sneered: "The one who has these things is Cihang Jingzhai! The little girl in Qixiufang just wants to be peaceful in the world, but she can't afford these things. Besides, the family, the country and the world are not the same. Is it all your men's business? Of course, except for those female men in Cihang Jingzhai. Qixiufang are all little girls, little men. How can you afford to be like this? Don't put yourself on airs, your back will bend instead. "

The sarcasm can be heard, and Zhenzong also understands that it is obviously a mistake to treat Qixiufang in the same way as Cihang Jingzhai.This woman was obviously a little bit reticent, he frowned: "Seven Embroidery Workshop is on the West Lake..."

Hearing this threat, An Lan smiled instead.She smiled beautifully, with small smiles, and finally laughed until the flowers trembled, and she kept beating the Taihu stone on one side with her hands to stop.After taking a breath, she looked at Zhenzong, who was over half a hundred years old: "I would like to think that you are a hero with little talent, and you can be regarded as a hero. Looking at it today, you are just an ordinary person. This kind of joke, but Don't say anything good. I just have two things to tell you, just keep it in your heart. "

An Lan glanced at Concubine Xian: "Looking at this lady, it must be true that your heir is the fifth son of the emperor. Qixiufang is different from Cihang Jingzhai, so don't use Cihang Jingzhai to treat me. Back then The reason why Emperor Gaozu allowed the existence of Ji Jianghu is that firstly, the folk customs can be strong and good soldiers can be produced; secondly, many martial arts schools are backed by practice schools. Although the cultivators hide behind them, it is hard to see clearly, but in detail, It's not that there are no traces to be found. These two points, the first point is the martial artist's entry."

An Lan sat up, sitting upright, looking at Zhenzong: "The martial arts of Cihang Jingzhai, practiced to the point where the heart of the sword is clear, is the first step to enter the Tao. But this is only the foundation, and the other point is that anyone who has reached this level, All of them can enter the Xiantian. Qixiufang’s exercises also have this requirement. If you enter the Xiantian, you will be close to the Tao. This is not the Tao of Hongjun. It is the Tao of Heaven. If you are not a saint, you will not be close to the Tao of Heaven. But It is a small innate talent, not even the top three flowers, and it is impossible to approach the way of heaven. It is only the first step in seeking the way and cultivating the truth.

The second point is the causal cycle of heaven and earth luck.Some people have certain things, and they have their own rules and days.It's like I have the ability to be at ease, but I have to be the Mrs. Xing of the Rongguo Mansion.You can obviously live a happy life with your beloved concubine, but in the end you have to bear the crime of killing your father and brother, just like ascending to the throne.Cihang Jingzhai has been able to manipulate the situation to make people alert for so many years, and this Buddhist sect is behind it.It's just a pity that they have fewer and fewer qualified people over the years, and with the chaos of war, more and more things have been lost.Qixiufang is divided into two parts, inside and outside, Shushan Qingcheng School, and behind it is Shushan School of Jianxiu.Kunlun is divided into four steps, upper and lower.You are the emperor of the mortal world, and you have the destiny of the emperor of the mortal world.We are people who deal with cause and effect, so we naturally have our destiny. "

After saying this, An Lan kept patting her chest in her heart.So exciting... so exciting.It was the first time she said these words so righteously.Thinking of the cultivation essays I had read, I suddenly felt that I was tall or not.But she didn't show it on her face, she just looked at Zhenzong coldly, and then glanced at Yingluo:

"It's very windy and dewy at night, Yingluo, you didn't remind your wife that I should go home."

Complaining slightly coquettishly, An Lan's eyes brightened and shone with excitement in her heart.Holding the cuffs of the underwear tightly with both hands, she felt that this was the most exciting time since she traveled here.

Concubine Xian looked at Zhenzong, thought for a while, squatted down and lowered her head: "Your Majesty, my son absolutely has no such wrongful thoughts. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

She is not the biological mother of the fifth prince, but took over the fifth prince who has been living alone three years ago.Right now, the relationship between mother and child is not bad, and the time for the fifth prince to leave the palace to build a mansion is a sensitive time.How is she not afraid? She still has memories of the bloody fight for the throne last time.

Zhenzong watched the beautiful figure disappear, and looked down at Concubine Xian.After thinking for a while, he said: "I allow him to have it, and he is the only one to have it. Get up!" Said leaving the garden with her hands behind her back, Concubine Xian followed behind with complicated thoughts.She didn't know if the emperor was testing or something else.But you have to be careful in the future.Thinking of this, she decided to take it back to the fifth prince after the banquet was over.

Back to the banquet, it was not yet the end, and the lights inside were very lively.Concubine Zhen Gui, who was cold and gentle, carried a little bit of beauty in the hazy east light.Zhenzong snorted coldly, and said in his heart: Demon girl.

He grew up in the royal family since he was a child, and he is also the son of the empress.What many brothers don't know, his elder brother who is the prince once said a thing or two.Just like those fairy things, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.It's just that the royal family can't think about longevity if they have emperors.Most ascetics do not interfere with ordinary affairs.Just like that woman, although she is beautiful and capable.But if you refuse to say anything, there is still a lesson to be learned.In contrast, Cihang Jingzhai seemed to be quite inferior.

Thinking of this, he sat down in his seat and looked at the woman who returned to her original position, pinching the wine cup, squinting her eyes and smiling gently, and suddenly felt that the plan that Bo Zhao made at the beginning might not be so dangerous.He is the emperor of the world, if his life will be cut off because of Ci Hang Jingzhai, that is his life too.However, if Cihang Jingzhai is not eliminated, the world will become a plaything of monster monks and ghosts in the future, and it will be even more unbearable as a royal family.Might as well give it a go.

Thinking in this way, he looked at Concubine Xian on one side, and then at Concubine Zhen Gui on the other side, twitching his lips.

Liang Jiugong, who was serving on the side, looked at the emperor, and followed the emperor's eyes to look around, thinking that this concubine Xian might have a fortune.Thinking this way, he didn't forget to remind Zhenzong that it's time.Although the palace gate was locked late because of the banquet, it is not too early now.

Zhenzong nodded, put down his wine glass and coughed, and the surroundings slowly became quiet.He stood up and took two steps forward slowly: "Today's banquet, firstly, is to thank you for taking care of it at home, and not distracting my good ministers and generals from the main business. Secondly, I also want to take this good opportunity to announce a decree .”

He paused, looked at the expressions of the surrounding women and the behavior of their husbands on the other side, and the corner of his mouth hooked: "Concubine Xian listens to the order."

Concubine Xian raised her head abruptly, stepped out of her seat with a beating heart, and knelt down to listen to the order.

"Concubine Xian's heart is gentle and gentle, well-behaved and obedient, and has good virtue. She is specially conferred the title of imperial concubine and bestowed the number cloud. The Ministry of Rites will pick an auspicious day tomorrow to complete the canonization ceremony. Bestow upon Jingyang Palace, the main hall of Jingyang Palace Change the name to Yunxianju!"

Hearing this canonization, Concubine Xian was stunned.She kowtowed to thank her in a daze, and looked at Concubine Zhen who was also dazed.With Cihang Jingzhai's status, Zhen has always been a noble concubine after the queen's death.But right now, there is an imperial concubine.She didn't understand what the emperor meant by this.Although the phoenix seal in her hand has not been taken away right now, the noble concubine is a noble concubine, and the imperial concubine is a deputy queen!

She looked at Concubine Xian blankly, and the future Imperial Concubine Yunxian slowly frowned.It's only been out for less than half an hour, how did things become like this?

She didn't understand, and An Lan was a little surprised when she heard it.Is this a hush money for Concubine Xian?One is just to spend some of the cost of the canonization ceremony, and then take out the original things for use, so that the hush money is cheaper?What a bargain!Thinking this way, she picked up the glass and took a sip.The plum wine made from this rice wine has not been distilled and has been aged for a year, which is similar to table wine.

At the male guest's table, Jia Amnesty heard the movement early on.He watched An Lan go out, and the emperor left with Concubine Xian.Thinking of this, he carefully looked at Concubine Xian, could this woman be from Qixiufang?I never heard that the Liu family has any relationship with Qixiufang!

With doubts, he hurried back to his carriage after the banquet. An Lan was waiting for him inside.Smelling of alcohol, Wei Wei watched him come up, opened the curtain of the carriage, supported his head on the edge of the window with one hand: "I thought you would be faster!"

"I was smelling of alcohol, so I came here when I was gone." Jia Amnesty got into the car, and leaned against her on the other side of the car window: "Then Concubine Xian is from Qixiufang?"

"No!" An Lan pouted and shook her head: "I met the emperor today and chatted with him. I thought I was like that Cihang Jingzhai, full of benevolence and morality, and Jiangshan Sheji. I gave him a lecture, probably because Concubine Xian was by his side at the time, so she must have given you the hush money!"

Thinking of this, she hooked her scalp with her fingers, then pulled out the hairpin and let the hair hang down relaxedly: "Why do you ask that?"

"When you go out, he takes Concubine Xian with him. When you come back, he brings Concubine Xian back. It was never rumored that he liked Concubine Xian, but now he was promoted to Imperial Concubine, comparable to Vice-Queen. The Palace Master was always a benevolent concubine The Zhen family in Hangjingzhai is getting bigger, so that's all I can think about." Jia Amnesty didn't want to say more, his face was a little stiff.

After hearing this, An Lan turned her head and laughed.She climbed forward on Jia She's body and pinched his cheek with her fingers: "What a fool. Hehe..."

After she finished speaking, she smiled, and pressed it softly and tenderly, face to face, nose tip to nose tip.Jia Amnesty smelled the strong aroma of wine, and immediately understood: "Are you drinking too much?" He gently pushed An Lan away. Although he was interested in this woman, if someone he couldn't beat would take advantage of her at this time Well, in the future, if I can't say it, I will be skinned and broken.On balance, it's not as good as a gentleman's.

"It's just a little bit, I just think the weather is really nice today." An Lan lazily leaned against the window edge again, knocked on the carriage to make the car start, then stopped making any noise, and stared at the night street scene outside.

The author has something to say: [-] a day, I try my best to stick to it!

Recently, my mother is not in good health, I am still taking medicine, and then... the fruit is running out

and so……

In addition, regarding the typos that everyone thinks, many of them are intentional.Because a lot of words have been squandered.For example, the window [is the one that sleeps.These are homophones] have become Kou Kou, for everyone to understand, Homophones are always better than Kou Kou
