Vol 5 Chapter 237: Sword dance

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, out of the need to stabilize people's hearts, although it can only be held in the palace, it is more grand and grand than it was in Miyagi.
Even Yun Fenghuang was not busy alone. After all, Concubine Shu had already accompanied Wang Jiufan Song, and she had to go to a high position under her hand. She could only temporarily promote Concubine Jing to fight, involving some messengers outside the palace. It is indispensable to let Jiang's help to watch.
This time the palace invited many more guests than in the past.
In the past, it was because of the heirs of the emperor's knees that they began to reach adulthood. Nowadays, the vassal lords everywhere generally have no relationship with the emperor.
Therefore, the annual Mid-Autumn Festival banquet certainly means reunion, but in fact, the emperor’s family and the capital officials have a lively together, at most, the Yi Wang brothers are added.
But at this moment, Zhou Wang and other vassals have not yet returned, but like the Wanshou Banquet, they have to attend.
If these vassals follow their own minds, they must be longing to return to the fief long ago.
However, the affairs of King Mao had become a big deal, and it was not easy for them to leave.
The imperial court would not let them go because they were afraid that King Mao would be mad, and if they were to be assassinated on the way back, it would be too dangerous.
In fact, this is certainly a reason for worry. To prevent King Mao from assassinating the feudal lord and planting the court, the most important thing is that they are afraid that they will turn to King Mao. After returning to the fief, they will immediately respond and join the rebellion.
This is not unfounded worry. During this period of time, there have been several princes or heirs who are ready to move, even directly proclaiming that the princes and princes on the court side are pretending that the deity has been harmed by the court and forcibly inherited the throne of the vassal. , I went to reunite with King Mao.
Therefore, these vassal kings could not leave at all.
Chunjia forcibly detained people, but also used their names to suppress the fief, so naturally he had to be more generous.
So I told Yun Fenghuang in advance that there is no need to worry about the cost if the banquet specifications are higher.
Yun Fenghuang gathered and gathered the people under his hands to make this palace banquet extremely rich and prosperous, and even asked Concubine Jing to personally supervise the rehearsal of singing and dancing.
Concubine Jing has been reluctant to come forward since her blow back that year.
Especially when I have another daughter, I want to live with the child all day long, not wanting to be troublesome at all.
At first I was not happy to hear this messenger: "Manny, my concubine is dull, I am afraid it may not be..."
"Jing Concubine." It was just that the queen was interrupted before finishing speaking. Yun Fenghuang glanced at her lightly, "Isn't this palace discussing with you, it's telling you, understand?"
Concubine Jing was startled, and there was some anger subconsciously under her eyes.
It is remembered that back then, she, Meng Youyi and Ouyang Fulu were both noble ladies of the Imperial Capital, but after entering the palace, they repeatedly suffered losses in the hands of the queen. Later, Meng Youyi and Ouyang Fulu were even more... Not only is there no one who can get involved in the Phoenix seat in the palace that the second place enters, even the one who is still alive is himself.
At that time, Yun Fenghuang was like that, arrogant, strong, and beyond doubt.
Even if Concubine Jing is not young anymore, looking back on that year, she still feels blood pouring into her mind!
She took a deep breath: "Yes, the concubine body understands, and the concubine body will follow the mother's will!"
The queen sneered. This concubine Jing had been studying for so many years, and she didn't pay attention to it at all. Moreover, Concubine Jing also had a biological emperor, and she didn't dare to make a mistake for the daughter of Concubine Jing.
Yun Fenghuang put down the tea cup and said in a low voice: "You are a distinguished lady and you have a lot of knowledge. This year's feast is different. There are many clan relatives. There is no need to show ugliness for those things that are nothing new. You have to lose the royal dignity. Therefore, you have to work hard and rehearse well, and you have to call the ministers and the feudal vassal. It is good to know that everything is better than before in the past two years."
"... Concubine, follow orders." Jing Fei endured anger and lowered her head.
Although she was not reconciled, she was afraid of the queen, but she still used all her skills and let the palace dancers rehearse some fresh songs and dances in a short period of time.
Yun Fenghuang saw it in person and thought it was good, but he praised a few words and gave some rewards.
Perhaps it was because of the fear that the queen would pick a thorn, Concubine Jing really used her mind, and even arranged a sword dance. Dao was specially prepared for the generals of the Dingbei Army who attended.
The Dingbei Army was ordered by King Qin, and the vanguard had already arrived in Gyeonggi, and it had repelled the coalition forces of King Mao and others before it came. Although it was only a small victory, it at least allowed the imperfect court to restore a little dignity.
For this reason, the imperial court brags a lot, as if the Maowang faction is about to fall to the ground.
For this reason, even though the ranks of the soldiers who came to aid were not high, the royal made an exception and allowed some of them to participate in the banquet as a show of grace.
Yun Fenghuang hadn't considered taking special care of these people, but since Concubine Jing thought about it, she would not dismiss it. After saying some words of encouragement, she settled.
In this way, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet opened, a place of singing and dancing, the monarchs and the ministers were in the same joy, and the coquettishness was intertwined, as if Wang Mao and others were not afraid of the risk of scabies. The whole banquet was full of laughter and laughter, without any haze.
After three rounds of wine and singing and dancing, a group of tricksters with high buns and beaded jewels, wearing soft armor on colored skirts, fast boots and holding long swords, came onto the stage with the high strides of an ordinary Kabuki man. .
The emperor and his ministers were quite surprised when they saw this, and Yun Fenghuang smiled and introduced: "This is the meaning of the concubine Jing. It is specially rehearsed for the military merits of the Northern Army."
The emperor immediately gave the Dingbei Army Pioneer a bottle of royal wine.
The pioneer stood up and thanked him, Yun Fenghuang followed and took a look, only to realize that the other party turned out to be Qi Jiuzhang.
auzw.com She smiled the same, but she felt a little bit emotional in her heart.
When she was a teenager, she was not unfamiliar with Qi Jiuzhang, who was Qi Jiulu's half-brother.
Although the Chen family doesn't like concubines, but because the two generations of the Qi family have few offspring, in fact, Qi Jiulu's relationship with Qi Jiuzhang is pretty good.
After all, Qi Jiulu is both a long-term prostitute and outstanding talent. He is an undisputed candidate for the ancestors. The younger brothers who are born out of the concubine have no capital to compete with him, and he never felt that his half-brother would be an enemy.
Later, when Xie Fenghu's affairs came out, Qi Jiulu was obsessed with Yunfenghuang and did many things that disappointed the family. When the head of the Qi family was angry, he would promote Qi Jiuzhang and beat the eldest son who had high hopes.
However, neither Yun Fenghuang nor Qi Jiulu took the threat of the Qi Patriarch too seriously.
One is that he knows that Qi has cultivated Qi Jiulu for many years, and he will not give up Qi Jiulu as a last resort; the second is that Qi Jiuzhang has mediocre qualifications, and his sexuality is not good, and he is even quite paranoid. Outside of his elder brother, who was convincing him everywhere, he was not very obedient to his biological father, Qi family leader. Seriously considering the candidate for the future Patriarch, Qi's boss will not choose him.
In short, Yun Fenghuang didn't have much hatred for Qi Jiuzhang. She still remembered that Qi Jiuzhang was standing by his brother when Qi Jiulu was dying and the Chao family was running around.
It's just that Qi Jiuzhang in her impression is a pale and weak young man with a silent expression and stubborn eyes.
The Qi Jiuzhang in front of him, although he changed his robes for the banquet, he was tall and big, his face was cold, he had an old wound on the corner of his eyes and on his cheeks, and his temperament was rather fierce. If it weren't between his eyebrows, he could tell the past. In addition to the shadow of Nian, and the fact that Yun Fenghuang had just rolled her name, Yun Fenghuang couldn't recognize the acquaintance who had been timidly calling her "Sister Huang".
She sighed in her heart for a while, and while the emperor was talking to Qi Jiuzhang, she whispered to the people: "This time is he here? Where is his brother?"
"General Qi has to sit in the north, it is not easy to get away." The Qing people also glanced at Qi Jiuzhang and whispered, "Probably for this reason, Qi Jiuzhang was specially assigned as a pioneer for showing his loyalty? After all, if General Qi does not come, Qi The clan must always show something. Otherwise, the court might suspect that General Qi was deliberately sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight."
After Qi Jiulu married the little Gu family for the renewal, because Gu family had no successor, he inherited Gu Fangshu’s legacy in the Dingbei Army. In addition, he was born in a poor family. He has been promoted frequently, and now he has actually taken charge of the Dingbei Army.
Regarding this point, many old people are talking about Yunfenghuang's methods behind their backs.
If it wasn't for her to be powerful and to keep the emperor firmly in control, based on the period between Qi Jiulu and Yun Fenghuang, can the emperor be assured of handing over the Ruodading Northern Army to his former rival in love?
Of course, both the empress and Qi Jiulu are very human nowadays. This kind of remark is to say a few words in private, and no one dares to really convey it.
Yun Fenghuang occasionally heard some wind noises, although he was annoyed and asked people to deal with the nonsense minions, it didn't make a big deal.
After all, everyone is ashamed of the trouble.
Listening at this moment, he sighed slightly and said nothing.
Just as the emperor finished saying the words of encouragement, he ordered Qi Jiuzhang to return his seat.
Below the bells, drums, silk and bamboo sounded together, and with the sound of music, dozens of people in colorful skirts wielded long swords with beautiful ladies, and started this sword dance with a strong momentum.
Yun Fenghuang then condensed his mind and focused on appreciating.
Generally speaking, the skills of these imperial performers are not as good as those of the Imperial Palace. Probably still in Miyagi, the best tricks, of course, are chosen by the teacher.
But for those who can serve the heavenly family, no matter how bad they are, there is a bottom line.
Concubine Jing did not have many days to train them, but all of them were sullen, and the special soft sword danced in a chill, like a large group of snowflakes, and there was a cool breeze in the hall, setting off the autumn breeze at this moment. The climate is quite vigorous.
Yun Fenghuang has been in the palace for many years and is used to seeing extravagant scenes. Although this sword dance is a bit new, she has something in her heart now, and she is a little distracted after watching it for a while.
Just thinking about the current situation, I suddenly felt that something was wrong in front of me: the tricks were dancing and moving forward, but they were approaching the throne at an unpleasant but definitely not slow speed.
…It seemed that there was no such scene during the rehearsal?
Yun Fenghuang went to see Concubine Jing immediately, but Concubine Jing was not in the seat?
She suddenly became alert, not knowing whether this was specially arranged by Concubine Jing, or if she had an internal relationship. With a change in her mind, she suddenly raised her hand and brushed off the wine cup in front of Chunjia
Now I don't know the situation, if it is a false alarm, it will not be embarrassing to the royal family.
In this eye, the royal family is extremely indecent.
It also seemed that she was born in a humble background, and she was shocked to be unworthy of the Phoenix Seat.
But if there is a real difference, the others will be fine. Chunjia has three strengths and two shortcomings, what will she do?
So it's better to find an excuse to make the emperor retreat immediately, so that no matter what's going on, it won't be...
Who knows that just when her fingertips touched the edge of the wine cup, and she noticed that Chunjia was looking at her arm, the first two dancers dancing with sword flowers suddenly separated, revealing the main maiko in the middle. .
The trick man didn't know when, he suddenly drew a small crossbow from his sleeve, and moved it against Chunjia!
The crossbow arrows shot out in a fan shape, almost sealed all Chunjia's dodge space!
The arrow clusters are blue in color, and are clearly poisonous, just like the eyes of that trick person, killing intent and awe-inspiring!
