When she saw Pei Zhao behind A'Du, she couldn't help but glance at him. Milo had blue eyes, and outsiders were always horrified when they saw her for the first time. But Pei Zhao didn't seem to be shocked. Later, I thought about it, the Pei family is the so-called noble family in Shangjing, and they are used to seeing big scenes. Beijing is prosperous, and there are also Orchards selling wine on the street, so Pei Zhao must be surprised.
In addition to good wine, this restaurant also does good beef. Milo ordered people to cut two catties of beef to serve us wine, and just as we sat down, it suddenly started to rain.
The autumn rain was extremely lingering, hitting the bamboo tiles on the roof with a clanging sound. The guests at the adjacent table were a few Persian merchants, but at this time they took out an iron flute and whimpered and played it. The tune was very strange and interesting. With the ding dong ding dong rain on the eaves, there is an indescribable charm.
Milo listened to the sound of the flute, put down the wine jar, jumped on the table, and danced barefoot. Her figure is already enchanting and soft, and she is boneless with the music, which is extremely charming. The golden bells in his hands and feet rustled like rain, and danced wildly with the sound of iron flutes like golden snakes. The Persian merchants all clapped their hands and cheered. Milo jumped lightly, but landed at the game table, surrounded the three of us, and danced.
Since I left Xiliang, I haven't laughed out loud like this. Milo's movements were clear and soft, like a ribbon, wrapped around my body, and like a butterfly, flying around me gracefully. I followed her example and made all kinds of gestures with the music, but I didn't have the slightest dexterity of hers. Milo danced for a few turns, but A'Du took out a shackle from his arms and stuffed it to me. I was instantly overjoyed, and I started playing to the sound of music.
When the Persian Hu people saw me blowing the hoops, they all clapped and made peace. I blew for a while, and when I smelled the aroma of the beef on the plate, I stuffed the rice bowl into Pei Zhao's hands: "You blow! You blow!" Then I picked up my chopsticks and ate it.
I didn't expect that Pei Zhao would really play the hustle, and he blew it very well. The music of the 筚篥 was originally mournful, but the music of the iron flute was agitated, and the two instruments matched perfectly. At first, it was Pei Zhao's rudder and iron flute, and then gradually it was the iron flute of the Persian Hu people and Pei Zhao's rudder. The tune changed from sadness to excitement, just like outside the Yumen Pass, but seeing the smoke of the desert, there was a faint sound of camel bells in the distance, and a team of camels appeared on the sand dunes. The camel bells gradually swayed and gradually approached, and gradually became denser and louder. Suddenly, the Xiongguan cave opened, and thousands of troops and horses waved their banners. The screams, the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of iron armor, the sound of the wind, the sound of the province... Countless sounds and music, overwhelming the sky It swept up, and as the beat of the music became more and more open, Milo danced faster and faster, swirling like a golden moth, dazzling me.
The music was even more desolate and vigorous, like an eagle hovering straight for nine days, overlooking the thousands of troops in the desert, flying higher and higher, and the dust and sand rolled up by the strong wind rolled in... When the child was round, the eagle seemed to have already flown to the highest snow-capped mountain. Snow lotuses bloomed on the snow-capped mountain. The big eagle flew by with its huge wings. Slowly drifting, one fell before the snow lotus. Which eagle feather fell in the snow, the wind swept the scattered snow and hit the eagle feather, the soft petals of the snow lotus trembled slightly in the wind, and the wind and sand finally stopped on the top of the snow... , The restaurant was so quiet that even the sound of dripping water from the eaves outside could be heard clearly. Milo lay on the table, gasping for breath, his blue eyes seemed to be dripping, and said, "I can't." The Persian merchants laughed, and someone poured a glass of wine for Milo, and Milo was still in his chest. In the rapid ups and downs, he drank all the wine in one breath, but smiled at Pei Zhao: "You blow well!"
Pei Zhao didn't answer, just slowly wiped the 筚篥 clean with wine, and then handed it back to me.
I said, "I really didn't see it, you would say this. Not many people in Beijing know this."
Pei Zhao replied: "My father once went on an envoy to the Western Regions, and he brought back some musical instruments. I was free when I was young, and I used to learn to play by myself."
I clapped my hands and smiled and said, "I see, your father is Pei Kuang, the general of the cavalry. My father has fought with him before, and praised him as a real leader."
Pei Zhao said, "That's Khan Miaozan."
I said, "My dad doesn't praise people casually. He praises your father because he can really fight."
Pei Zhao said, "Yes."
As soon as he said "yes", I felt bored. Fortunately, the Persian merchants sang again, and the tune was sad and melodious, which was very moving. Milo ate another glass of wine, knowing that we couldn't understand it, so she sang softly to us in Mandarin Chinese with her big tongue. It turned out that the Persian Hu people sang: "The soup of the moon is far away from my hometown, the moon is full and missing, and the hometown is not seen. Its stars are shining brightly, far from my homeland, the galaxy is splendid, and the homeland is hard to return. Its wind is gentle, blowing my old The soil, the sun is beautiful, and it looks like my hometown. Knowing Xizhixi buried my rivers and mountains, knowing Xizhixi buried me where…”
I sang a few words with Milo, and couldn't help but feel sad, and I drank another glass of wine when I heard the sadness of the Persian Hus singing. Pei Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Everyone has homesickness. These Persian Hu people miss their hometown so much, but why don't they go home?"
I sighed: "Not everyone in this world is like you. You don't have to leave your hometown since you were born. They have to leave their hometown and know how many times they have to."
Pei Zhao was silent for a while, and seeing me pour another glass of wine, he couldn't help but say, "Young Master has drunk too much."
I said impassively: "How can you solve your worries? Only Du Kang!"
Seeing Pei Zhao looking at me in astonishment, I stretched out three fingers and said, "Don't think I'm too capable, in fact, I can recite a total of three poems, and this is one of them."
This time, the queen called Li Chengyin and me.
I haven't seen Li Chengyin for many days, but it seems that he has grown a little taller. Because he is going to the palace, he brings the imperial crown, Jiuqi, gold ornaments, and normal clothes. But he didn't even look at me, and got into the chariot.
I didn't know what happened until I saw the queen. It turned out that Xu Niang suddenly had abdominal pain, and the imperial doctor diagnosed it as eating something that induced labor by mistake. The queen detained all those who served Xu Niang. Then all food and drinking water are also sealed and ordered by the Tuck Court - a strict trial. In the end, it was found that the medicine was injected into the rice, and the fetus was beaten down. The queen was naturally furious and ordered a strict trial. Finally, some palace servants could not bear the punishment of renting the court and confessed that they were ordered by others.
The queen's voice was still gentle and calm: "I brought Xu Niang to the palace because I was worried about their mother and son. After all, this is the first child of the East Palace. I didn't expect it to be in the palace, right under my nose. It’s even been plotted against me, I’ve never had anything like this happen in more than a hundred years!”
Although she spoke softly, but in the eyes of her words, I have never heard the queen speak like this, and I couldn't help but dare not let out the air. Everyone in the hall, like me, held their breaths. The queen said, "You know, who instructed her when the palace servant confessed?"
I looked at Li Chengyin, but Li Chengyin didn't look at me, he just said lightly, "I don't know."
The queen ordered the female official: "Read the confession to the crown prince and crown prince."
The female official read the palace servant's statement, and I was stunned when I listened to it. After listening to a few more words, I couldn't help interrupting: "Queen, I didn't do this! I didn't let anyone bribe her. Give Xu Niang some medicine."
The queen said lightly: "Now there are witnesses and physical evidence. If you say that you didn't do it, you must have evidence."
I was about to be wronged to death. I said, "Then why should I harm her? I don't know her, nor have I seen her before. Besides, she lives in the palace. I don't even know where she lives..."
I am so wrong! Unexpectedly, he was framed like this.
The queen asked Li Chengyin, "Yin'er, what do you think?"
Li Chengyin finally glanced at me, then knelt down: "But it's up to the mother and the queen."
The Queen said: "Although the Crown Princess has a different identity and is the princess of Xiliang, it seems that it is not appropriate to preside over the East Palace if she does such a thing in a moment of confusion."
Li Cheng Yin did not say anything.
I was trembling with anger: "I didn't do this. You killed me today, and I won't admit it! As for whether the East Palace is not the East Palace, I honestly don't care, but I will never allow you to be wronged like this!"
The queen said, "The confession can be here. Yin'er, what do you think?"
Li Chengyin said: "But it is decided by the mother and the queen."
The queen smiled slightly and said, "One day husband and wife a hundred days of kindness, you don't think about the kindness of your husband and wife at all?"
Li Chengyin said in a low voice, "My son can't bear it, but there are national laws and family rules, and my son does not dare to have personal feelings for each other."
The queen nodded and said, "Very good, very good. There are national laws and family rules. This sentence is very good." The smile on her face slowly subsided, and she instructed the female official, "Release Zhao Liangdi as a commoner immediately. Expel from the Eastern Palace!"
I was shocked, and Li Chengyin's expression was even more like a thunderclap: "Mother!"
"The confession just now was indeed true, but after the confession was recorded, the palace man bit his tongue and committed suicide. Don't think that if a person dies, there will be no proof, Ye Ting really works hard. If we continue to investigate, it turns out that this palace man had been subjected to Zhao Zhao in his early years. The family's great kindness, when she died, she should have been connected to nine clans, but after investigation, this palace person has no relatives, only one adoptive mother. Now, from her family's cellar, one hundred ingots of official silver, these hundred ingots of silver, have been found. It's official silver, and there are casting files to check... Then I detained this adoptive mother and tortured her, and she confessed that Zhao Liangdi had sent people to her home. This Zhao Liangdi is a good one to kill two birds with one stone, and a good one to move Jiangdong. It's really hateful to be so poisonous. If you allow her to go on, you will really end the lineage of my royal family!"
I hadn't figured out what she meant when I came over, Li Chengyin had already said first: "Mother, please calm down, my son thought, there must be someone who framed Zhao Liangdi, and we should order someone to investigate slowly. Please don't get angry, the hurt. body."
It's better if he doesn't say it, but it adds fuel to the fire when he says it.
"You are simply dazed by that fox! That Zhao Liangdi, who was crying and making a fuss about Xu Niang at the beginning, has now bribed someone to harm Xu Niang! He even framed the blame for the Crown Princess, his heart can be punished. !"
Li Chengyin continued: "Mom, calm down, my son knows that Zhao Liangdi will not be that kind of person, and ask the mother's name to check."
"Mingcha what? Who is the child in Xu Niang's stomach getting in the way? She sees it as a thorn in the flesh! Such people are starting work, which is a disaster for the country!" The more the queen said, the more angry she became. You have not defended the Crown Princess a word. Now that I tell you the truth, you keep saying that the fox is wronged. You are the Crown Prince now, and you are the Emperor who loves you. How can you be so partial to your personal relationship! What is wrong with doing things like this? This kind of disaster must be killed, and if I don't kill her again, I'm afraid that in the future, I will fascinate you to the point where you don't even want the world!"
Li Chengyin was shocked, so I had to kneel down and said, "Mom, please calm down, Zhao Liangdi must have been confused for a while. If Zhao Liangdi is killed, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..." I can't think of what to say next, Li Cheng However, Yin continued: "Mother think twice, Zhao Liangdi's father and brother are both in the court, and she is also a high-ranking official of the father and emperor. Please think twice."
The queen sneered: "You just said it yourself! There are national laws and family rules, so you dare not have a relationship with each other!"
Li Chengyin's face was ashen, he just knelt there and called out again, "Mother."
The queen said: "The matter of the East Palace should have been decided by the Crown Princess. I have no choice but to do it for me. Such a wicked person, let me do it." Seeing that things were not going well, I hugged the Queen's knees and said, "Can the Queen Mother let me say something? Since the Queen Mother said, I am in charge of matters in the East Palace. I know that I have never done well, but today I ask the Queen to let me speak. words."
The queen seemed to lose her anger and said, "Go ahead."
"His Royal Highness really likes Zhao Liangdi. If the queen mother kills Zhao Liangdi, I'm afraid that Your Highness will not be happy for a lifetime." When I was in a hurry, I also said things in different ways, "My son and His Highness have been married for three years, although His Highness does not like it, but I I know, Your Highness must not be without Zhao Liangdi. Without Zhao Liangdi, His Highness would not like me even more. Also, there are many things I can't do, and Zhao Liangdi is responsible for me. Leave it to Zhao Liangdi, without Zhao Liangdi, the East Palace would not be as smooth as it is now..."
I was in a hurry and didn't know what to say, so I turned around and called Yong Niang: "Yong Niang, tell the Queen!"
Yong Niang respectfully said, "Yes." She kowtowed and said, "Niang Niang, the Crown Princess means that Zhao Liangdi has served the Crown Prince for many years, and even if there is no credit, there is also hard work. Moreover, Zhao Liangdi is not wrong in treating people on weekdays. It is also very respectful, and she unanimously assists the Crown Princess in the management of the East Palace, please see that she is confused for a while, and take it lightly."
The queen said slowly: "This Zhao Liangdi, it is impossible to keep her, and if you keep her, the East Palace will have a big disaster. At the ceremony for the establishment of the crown princess, the emperor once said that such a beautiful child and a beautiful wife are really me. Royal luck. It's a pity that you have been married for three years, but you haven't heard a word, and now there is something about Xu Niang, which really bothers me."
Li Cheng Yin looked down at the ground, but said in his mouth, "It's the son who is not filial."
The queen said, "If you are really filial, get closer to the crown prince and stay away from that fox."
Li Chengyin said in a low voice, "Yes."
What else should I say, Yong Niang pulled the corner of my skirt from behind, motioning me not to say more. The corners of Li Cheng Yin's mouth moved slightly, but he did not speak again.
The queen said, "All get up."
But Li Cheng Yin still knelt there and didn't move, so I had no choice but to get up.
The queen didn't look at him, but said, "Don't be too sad about Xu Niang, after all, you are still young."
Li Chengyin didn't say anything. I don't think he would feel any sadness. If he was really sad, it must be because of Zhao Liangdi.
The queen said again: "Xu Niang looks so pitiful, let's step in and make her a Baolin."
Li Chengyin seemed to be disheartened: "I don't want to... I'm still young, and there are many concubines in the East Palace. I don't think it's right."
I know that he promised Zhao Liangdi that he would not accept other concubines, that's why he said this. Sure enough, the queen got angry again and said, "You are the one who will be emperor in the future, how can you be so puzzled."
The Empress said to me, "The Crown Princess gets up first, go see Xu Niang for me, and give her a few words of comfort."
No matter how stupid I was, I knew she was going to let me go, so that I could teach Li Chengyin a lesson. So he stood up and bowed to her to leave.
