The happy life of the devil and the devil

Before setting off from China, Su Taizhen knew that there was such a King Kang in Beiliang.

The good sister who served as the military attache of the embassy exclaimed in the letter: "You are good-looking, gentle and funny, and you are also very good to your daughter's family. Not only are you good at singing and dancing, but you also have a lot of experience in changing makeup, making powder, and playing with clothes and jewelry. ..." The new style of jewelry sent with the letter is said to be a pattern made in Beiliang, and the picture was drawn by His Royal Highness Kang Wang himself. Su Taizhen wore this set of exotic necklace armbands, which was very outstanding at the banquet. Some limelight.

So, when she heard that Jiang Min, the new scholar she was pursuing, was appointed to the Northern Liang Mission, Su Taizhen did not hesitate to ask his mother, King Anping, to get the position of the New Year's envoy to Beiliang.

let you run!let you escape!The entire mission is full of papers and armed forces, and there are only five or six people with official positions. Among them, I am the only unmarried woman. If you have the ability, run away! ——Even if you can't catch up for a while, you won't be lonely. Anyway, there are many interesting men in Beiliang, so His Royal Highness Kang Wang can use it to pass the time, right?

Hmm... I hope that Kang Wang will not disappoint her...

When Su Tai sent his envoy to Beiliang, he either crossed Yuxia, or made a circle from Ximin, or set sail directly, taking advantage of the trade winds to go northward by sea and arrive at Qingzhou.The first road was originally the best one to take. The road is picturesque and abundant, but Beiliang and Yu Xia have never stopped fighting in the past few years. Like the last time, they followed Prince He until Yuyang, and then followed Beiliang. Emperor Liang walked the second half of his journey back home, this kind of luck is really rare--by the way, her good sister is really lucky!Martial arts contest recruits relatives!Why didn't she see such a sensational thing!Embarrassed!

Going around in circles from Ximin is quite tiring. The terrain of Ximin is rugged and cold.All that's left is to take a sea boat to Qingzhou and then go to Beiliangdu... That's right!Qingzhou!The fief of the beauty queen!It is said that His Royal Highness Kang Wang even designed beautiful clothes for the beauty queen!Maybe she'll get a glimpse of it when she gets off the boat?

I heard that His Royal Highness regretted not being able to get that queen back as a side concubine, and always regretted that it was too late...

After getting off the sea boat happily, Su Taizhen still didn't see the legendary queen until she crossed Qingzhou and came to the capital.After exchanging the letters of credence and worshiping the emperor, Su Taizhen couldn't help but walk around. This day, he was resting in a gazebo with his servants. He had just poured a cup of tea from a silver bottle and hadn't had a drink yet. As soon as he looked up, a general in black was surrounded by dozens of cavalry and came on horseback, passing by the avenue in front of the pavilion amid billows of smoke and dust.

The teacup in Su Taizhen's hand immediately rolled to the ground.

"...What a beauty." The horse team passed for a long while, and the Su Taizheng, who had come from afar, found his voice. Just now, in a glimpse, the person immediately was as bright as a bright moon and as cold as frost. He had never seen such a color in his life. , but... "Can he wear a better dress!"

"Yeah!" A man's voice suddenly came in from the side, hating iron and steel just like Su Taizhen, almost beating his chest and feet, "I made so many clothes and sent them in in different ways, every day I'm still all black and all black All in black... Even if you are all in black, you should change your style! Other than the military uniform, it is the armor, which is mine—" Immediately, the person next to me covered his mouth.

Su Taizhen felt a sense of confidant.

Shouldn't beauties be clean and beautiful every day?The so-called "the shade of thrush is in fashion", the more beautiful you are, the more you have to keep up with fashion!In Sutai, if any husband attends the party every day wearing dusty outdated clothes, the wife will be accused of not caring for her husband, not fulfilling the responsibility of supporting the family, or more seriously, pampering the concubine and destroying the concubine...

"That's right, although the messy hair and rough clothes can't hide the natural beauty, but after all, the beauty still looks better when dressed..."

"That's it!"

The man in front of him smiled so much that he showed his white teeth, Su Taizhen raised his brows, and was shaken by this bright smile - ah, ah, ah, this is also a beauty!Although it is not as good as the one that passed by just now, this one looks very good!Unlike the one just now, if he didn't freeze to death, he would also be cut into pieces by the murderous aura on his body!

The man was wearing a spring-colored robe. Most people wearing this color were either poor or vulgar. Every year, Su Tai did not know how many people worked hard to get promoted, just to change the green robe on their body into a scarlet color, which made him look like a tender bamboo. Soaring in the sky, new willows spit out green, no matter how you look at it, how energetic.A layer of thin clouds floated across the sky, and the light and shadow in the pavilion flickered, and even the man's robe was covered with layers of waves, which seemed to be of excellent material.Although there is nothing on his body that can show his identity, the hook on the belt is carved from suet jade, the jade is shiny and shiny, the hooked goose bends its neck and looks back, its wings are slightly spread, as if it came to life.

Pretending to be obsessed with grasping the palm of the man, the touch is soft and slender. Although it is a man's hand, it does not have much strength, and there are no calluses in the palm of the finger-this man neither often holds a sword or bends a bow, nor is he The kind of person who grinds ink and writes for a long time.But the words are really interesting--it's also very good-looking!

The more they talked, the more speculative they became. The housemaid who followed Su Taizhen and the book boy who had just covered his master's mouth silently retreated to the side, watching a man and a woman in the pavilion in high spirits.First they chat, then pour tea and drink together, and finally, a man and a woman with comparable beauty call people to pour wine, push and change cups, and drink freely.

After drinking until he was drunk, the sky began to rain lightly, Su Taizhen frowned and looked at the sky, before deciding whether to ride back to get wet and soaked in makeup, a carriage had already arrived, and they had a drink together The man stood up, his wide sleeves fluttering, and he gestured forward chicly:

"The weather is bad, girl, do you want to drive with me?"

This is the first meeting between Su Taizhen and King Kang of Beiliang.

We met again, but it was at the flower appreciation banquet held by Kang Wangfu.

As a foreign envoy, you should not have too much contact with the prince of the country where you are stationed, but His Royal Highness Kang Wang is an exception.First, His Royal Highness Kang Wang was weak and unable to practice martial arts since he was a child, which meant that he had almost nothing to do with the throne; It can be seen that the eldest son of the Marquis family and the junior officer of which guard drank shoulder to shoulder, and when they got drunk, they rolled down on the same felt and were carried away.

The whole capital city of Beiliang knows (maybe Xuanjiawei doesn’t know) that to attend a banquet or something, you have to go to Xingwuwei’s Shen’s house to see its elegance; , there is no doubt that Kang Wangfu is the first choice.Of course, it’s not just singing and dancing. You can find anything you want to play in Kang Wang’s mansion.

Su Taizhen put down the carved bow in his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.Sutai's habit is that the men cultivate their character by playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the daughter's poems and books, bow and horse to travel the world, rituals and music, and the number of imperial books.Whether it is the Tai Academy where the nobles' children are enrolled, or the major academies for the common people, there are special courses to teach students the skills of riding, archery and swordsmanship.

Although Su Taizhen has learned to fish for three days and two days to dry nets, she can also open a half crossbow. She hits eight out of ten shots within thirty steps, and two of the arrows hit red hearts.Putting down the bow, just brushed the cloud temple, when there was a click sound, a bead flower flew out from the temple, and rolled down to the ground two steps away, shining brightly.

I'm so tired, I really don't want to bend down to pick it up...

Wailing like this from the bottom of his heart, Su Taizhen threw the bow and quiver to the maid who was serving beside him, moved two steps forward and slowly bent over.Before the waist was bent halfway, a white palm had already picked up Zhuhua first.Su Taizhen raised his hand to pick it up, but the man didn't pass it directly. Instead, he took out his handkerchief and wiped off the floating dust on it, and thrust it squarely into her temple.

"That's all right." The visitor took two steps back, looked her up and down, and smiled slightly: "The moon is bright and the cheeks are snowing, and the spring breeze is messing around the temples—would you like to move around and get your makeup done?"

Su Taizhen smiled sweetly.

Unlike the Sutai mansion, the front yard of Kang Wang's mansion only entertains male guests.Of course, there are also places for women to get their makeup done, but the crowds there are all Kabuki, which is not suitable for such distinguished guests as the envoy of a country.Su Taizhen was led towards Neiyi Gate by King Kang personally and courteously. Along the way, there were whistles and applause coming from behind.

After entering the inner door, after three turns and two turns, we arrived at an elegant small building.The green trees outside the building were towering, Ye Lang groaned softly, Su Taizhen was sweating profusely, and felt sticky and uncomfortable for a moment.She came out of the bath under the service of the maid, and a brand new set of makeup was already placed on the dressing table. The maid who combed her hair said with a smile, "This is made by our lord himself~~~~~"

What's the big deal, there are more men in Sutai making makeup by themselves.Su Taizhen rolled his eyes.

As soon as she turned around, seven or eight maidservants came over with several sets of clothes, water blue light red, light yellow light green, luxurious and luxurious, elegant and elegant, and at a glance, each set of clothes was in line with her wishes.Su Taizhen hesitated a little, and the leading maid observed her words and expressions, and immediately explained: "These are just made and have not been touched by anyone. The prince has personally checked them before ordering them to be sent to the girl. I also ask the girl to be careful." Don't dislike..."

It turns out that the man who personally gave her hairpins can choose clothes?Sure enough, it was the rumored style of His Royal Highness Kang Wang.Su Tai chose a set of scarlet skirts, and a maid immediately brought matching jewelry, the forehead ornament in it was particularly eye-catching, it was wrapped in gold silk and made into a thin strip, and a large bead hung down from the middle , the color is light gold, and the brilliance radiates when it is turned slightly. It is the tribute Beizhu, which is a specialty of Beiliang Yazi River——"This is too precious."

"Girl, please don't say that." The maid serving Su Taizhen's makeup is obviously also a favorite. She is wearing a short skirt of pink satin and an apricot-colored moon skirt. There is a finger-sized sapphire on the nobile hairpin. shining brightly.When she smiled, two dimples appeared on her cheeks, she was kind and playful, "No matter how expensive the beads are, can they be compared to girls?"

This is also true - in terms of quality, the Hepu beads produced in Sutai Mingfeng County are not inferior to Beizhu. For beads of this quality, Su Taizhen himself can get ten or eight in a year.He didn't ask any more questions at the moment, Xi Zizi got up and gestured on his forehead.The little maid immediately stepped forward, carefully fixed her hair, and whispered in a low voice while fiddling:

"Two years ago, these beads were very precious. Since last year, there was no need for jewelry in the palace. The crown princess and princess split half of it, and there will be a lot of it in the hands of our prince. But after all, it is a tribute, and who is worthy of it?" What about Dai? Our lord worked so hard to finish the drawing, and watched the craftsman make it according to his own rules, and most of it was sent to the princess..."

That is that, your emperor scattered his concubines, leaving only the empress in the palace, and the empress is still a man who wears a black pillar every day... Jewelry and other sincerity are useless.Su Taizhen smiled secretly, then turned around and asked:

"Your lord really paints and makes jewelry by himself?"

"Of course! I didn't want to come out with a new look for a month and a half, so I handed over the post from the Princess Mansion..."

"..." Is this being regarded as a royal designer by my own sister?

After grooming and make-up, there was another banquet. When Su Taizhen left, it was Kang Wang who personally delivered it to the second gate.Back at the embassy, ​​I washed the clothes and returned the jewelry. On the second day, a female official came to Kang Wang’s mansion, and sent them all back politely, with a note written by Kang Wang himself saying, “Small gifts are not acceptable. respect".

After a few days, Su Taizhen received a second invitation to a banquet in the palace.

The author has something to say: continue the gossip episode...

It is said that Su Taizhen and Kang Wang are very similar in terms of martial arts, a pair of beautiful fists and embroidered legs...
