Fan Xian felt a little uncomfortable, and took a half step back very imperceptibly, lowered his cheeks slightly, and quickly glanced at the hall with the corner of his eye.
The courtiers of the Qi State, there are no unusual characters, what makes him most curious is the bead curtain that is rippling slightly next to the high dragon chair. Incomparably beautiful.
He knew that the empress dowager who really had power in Northern Qi was behind the bead curtain.
…
…
After a long time, the emperor on the dragon chair stretched his jaw and yawned, as if he was tired of hearing it.
"The envoys have come to work hard, step back and rest." The young emperor waved his hand. Fan Xian was relieved, knelt down on the ground with a smile on his face, bowed to the dragon chair with all his subordinates, and was about to slap his ass and go find the real officials in Northern Qi to get poor Mr. Yan out.
But the development of things is always beyond people's expectations.
"Mr. Fan...?" The Northern Qi Emperor looked at Fan Xian with a hint of a smile on his lips, and called out softly, "Stay with me and gossip."
The ministers were slightly surprised for a while, thinking that in the court, His Majesty actually called the chief envoy of the other party as a son instead of an official title, which is really a bit impolite. Fan Xian couldn't think of this, but he was shocked. Could it be that the young emperor knew something
He hurriedly saluted and responded: "The foreign ministers have just arrived, and they don't know how to deal with them in front of the palace. They are really frightened."
"No problem, no problem." The young emperor seemed to be easy to talk, and said with a smile: "I am very happy to know that it is Mr. Fan who came here this time, so that I can teach Mr. Fan that I also often recite "Hanxianzhai Shihua" Even Mr. Tai Tuo is full of praise for your talent. Today's state affairs are over, and Mr. Fan will accompany me to walk around at will. I have been looking forward to Mr. Fan's arrival for a long time, and I will also let Mr. Fan see the people in the imperial palace on the way. view."
Having said this, as a foreign minister, Fan Xian didn't dare to talk too much, but his heart moved slightly. The Grand Tutor of the Northern Qi Dynasty was Zhuang Mohan's son. Zhuang Mohan was in the palace of the Qing Dynasty, and he was made into a mess by himself, and the other party actually praised his talent
The mission left the main hall, Lin Jing looked at Fan Xian slightly worried. Fan Xian nodded slightly, signaling to the other party that he would pay attention.
After the courtiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty also withdrew, the whole hall appeared even clearer, and the sound of fish tails hitting the water in the pool by the long platform could be faintly heard, and the gentle footsteps of the palace ladies behind the veil.
The young emperor who had been sitting on the dragon chair seemed to have relaxed at this moment, stretched his waist, looked at Fan Xian with a chuckle, jumped off the dragon chair, took the towel handed by the eunuch and wiped it carelessly, He patted Fan Xian on the shoulder and said, "Come on, I want the poets of the Southern Dynasty to see our fairy palace in the Northern Kingdom."
Fan Xian groaned secretly, who would have expected that His Majesty was still a child, and was about to follow him to the back of the hall, when he heard a coughing sound from behind the bead curtain that he had been paying attention to secretly.
The Northern Qi Emperor was slightly taken aback, turned his head with a bitter expression, bowed to the bead curtain and said, "Mother, my son saw Fan Xian's joy in his heart, so he was rude. I hope the mother will forgive me."
A court lady slowly opened the bead curtain, and the sound of the beads colliding was heard, and a lady came out from the curtain.
Fan Xian hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look carefully, but his poisonous eyes were still looking at the foot under the bead curtain.
The lady was wearing a pair of gold-embroidered silk shoes, which seemed casual but extremely luxurious.
What shocked Fan Xian even more was that following the pair of silk flowered shoes, another pair of feet also stepped out of the beaded curtain—who in this world would dare to sit behind the beaded curtain with the Queen Mother of Northern Qi, listening to Dialogue between the emperor and foreign missions!
Those feet are wearing a pair of cloth shoes, the soles are densely packed with thousands of layers of cloth, which is a very common handicraft in the countryside, the shoe openings are black and white, and only a trace of festive flowers are exposed on the delicate and tender heels cloth. This kind of cloth shoes is usually seen in the New Year in the countryside, but it is very strange to appear in the court of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
However, Fan Xian guessed who the owner of the cloth shoes was, and looked up in astonishment, no longer caring about etiquette, his eyes were quiet, but he secretly looked at her vigilantly, at the Begonia girl who was still wearing a flowered cloth scarf on her head!
Unexpectedly, Haitang would come out of the bead curtain together with the Queen Mother!
…
…
The eyes of Fan Xian and Haitang collided as if they were real, and the atmosphere in the Northern Qi palace became a little uneasy. It was only a moment before Baiju passed, and Fan Xian looked away again, and knelt down to the lady next to Haitang: "Fan Xian, my foreign minister, pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
The queen mother glanced at him, frowned slightly, and thought to herself, how could this Qing official named Fan Xian be so beautiful? It can be called a demon, no wonder Duo Duo insisted on sneaking up to the palace to see today, could it be that the girl beside her... She waved away these thoughts, nodded slightly, and then said to the emperor: "Your aunt is back, since you want to bring Fan Your Excellency is going to hang out in the palace, then go with Shigu."
The emperor had a troubled expression on his face, he seemed very reluctant to go with Haitang, but it was hard to hinder his mother's life, so he had to smile wryly and said to Haitang: "When will Shigu come back?"
Haitang moved her cold eyes away from Fan Xian's face, and saluted slightly to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the civilian girl returned to the capital yesterday, and my master was worried that there were too many villains in Beijing recently, so he sent the civilian girl back to the palace." .”
Fan Xian smiled bitterly, there are villains in Beijing? This is naturally talking about myself who loves to use aphrodisiacs.
※※※
Walking in the palace of Qi State, Fan Xian couldn't help thinking of a very unfamiliar idiom, which is a remnant of his previous life: the blessing of Qi people. Because this palace is really worthy of the word "immortal palace" that the young emperor said earlier. The nobles of Qi who live in this palace are indeed very blessed.
Tall green trees stretch out from the overall black palace complex, like a stern and careful woman fanning for someone, and those green branches playfully poke out the plain black eaves Peeping from the corner, or resting lazily on the blue tiles for a while, or stretching over the blooming flowers on the ground in the palace, as if contemptuous of those delicate plants.
The whole palace is intermingled with the big green trees that can be seen everywhere, shining, green and black, hard and soft, and beautiful.
The palace group is divided into several floors, and it is built according to a green hill, which is particularly wonderful. The three of them walked forward under the service of a large group of eunuchs, walked around the promenade beside the clear stream in the mountain, and reached the second floor. It wasn't until this time that Fan Xian calmed down a little, and began to observe the scenery in the palace attentively, admiring it unavoidably. Although the palace was built on the hillside, it seemed a stupid choice from the perspective of military or daily life, but seeing the clear water flowing slowly beside the promenade, and the refreshing colors and scenery all around filled his eyes, Fan Xian finally understood The real reason why people chose this place as the palace many years ago.
Beauty, it is so beautiful!
It's a pity that Fan Xian is not from Qi, and at this time there is no spoke of Qi people, and there are not two stunning beauties around him, but only His Majesty, the supreme emperor of Qi, and the strongest master of Qi's younger generation, who once beat himself The Begonia girl crawling all over the place.
The emperor was dressed in a black coat with a gold ribbon around his waist and wide cuffs. He was dressed in an antique style. He put his hands behind his back and led the way to the palace. He seemed to have forgotten that he was the one who forced Fan Xian to stay. down.
Fan Xian cautiously followed behind the emperor, glancing at Begonia beside him from the corner of his eye from time to time. He and this woman had a great quarrel. Although he believed that the other party would not treat him in the palace, he still felt a little nervous.
But Haitang Duoduo didn't even look at him, it seemed that she had never met him, never been poisoned by him, and never heard his harsh words.
Fan Xian understood something, so he smiled gently and didn't say much. But for a while, the young emperor seemed to be tired at last, pointing to a gazebo on a flat ground in front of him, and lightly tapped his finger.
All of a sudden, a large group of eunuchs "rushed" over without touching the ground, and cleaned the gazebo clean in a very short time. I bought a tea pot and cup.
Walking into the gazebo, the mountain wind blows slightly with the clear stream and dampness beside him. The emperor stood by the railing, with his hands behind his back, and said softly: "When you clap the railing, the forest flowers blow your temples and the mountain wind is cold. .”
Fan Xian responded just right: "Good words."
The emperor turned around and looked at Fan Xian with great interest in his clear eyes. After a long while, he suddenly said, "Fan Xian is the first person who flatters me so casually."
Fan Xian was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so he cupped his hands and said, "The ministers are terrified."
"It's all about panic, don't be anxious." The emperor sat down and took a sip of his teacup. Suddenly seeing Haitang, he couldn't help smiling and said, "Little aunt, why are you so reserved in front of me today? Please don’t move, you’re only willing to grow vegetables in the garden. Since you’re entering the palace today, you can relax and enjoy the scenery.” He sighed softly, “I always thought this palace was so beautiful that I didn’t even have the heart to leave the palace. walk."
There seemed to be some meaning behind these words, Fan Xian pretended that he didn't understand, and sat down under the sign of the emperor's gaze. The eunuch offered fine tea to him, and he sipped it slowly, not knowing that the young emperor suddenly Tempted to keep himself in the palace, what exactly does it mean.
Haitang also brought a cup of tea, and sat on the railing outside the pavilion, staring at the flowing water beside the pavilion, not knowing what to think.
"Fan Xian, what do you think of the scenery in my palace?"
Fan Xian was slightly taken aback, thinking this is the first time the emperor has repeated this topic today? After a little deliberation, he replied: "The palace is in the mountains, and there are trees on the mountains. The trees are in the palace, and the scenery is beautiful. The most surprising thing is that the eaves of the palace seem to be integrated with the whole mountain scenery. It doesn't look like the mountains engulf the palace." The majesty, and secondly, the prosperity of the palace does not weaken the mountains and deserts, but it actually gives people the feeling of harmony between man and nature, and the ministers are really amazed."
"Alas?"
Fan Xian's unintentional words seemed to surprise the emperor of Northern Qi.
