Shuoyun Feidu

During the vernal equinox, when the vegetation is turning green and sprouting, and the flowers are blooming, Beitang Zunyue held a banquet in the Shanglin Garden on this day, and all the concubines and concubines who were relatives of the clan and the harem were all entrusted by the decree go to.

At the beginning of the morning light, the huge inner hall was silent, and in the soft light from the beaded curtains, Tang Rongdu was curled up on the nine-foot-wide dragon bed, with black hair scattered around the pillow, infinitely lazy. , a beautiful thin quilt of apricot red lock jade tooth flower is draped around the waist, half of the body is exposed, the white skin of the shoulders clearly shows some bright red marks, and two well-proportioned white and greasy legs slip out of the quilt Half of it, lazily trapped in the soft mattress, this kind of ambiguous scene is clearly a manifestation of the past night.

Not long after, I saw Beitang Rongdu frowned slightly, as if he had woken up. Before he could fully open his eyes, he stretched out an arm lazily and hugged him, but touched a Empty, fuzzy in Beitang Rong Ferry'huh? With a cry, he opened his eyes and saw that there was no one around him, only the clear wrinkles left on the pillow and between the mattresses, which could indicate that someone had slept here.Beitang Rongdu yawned, stretched out his hand and pulled a five-color silk rope hanging from the head of the bed, and asked someone to come in to wait for the grooming. After a while, several servants and court ladies entered the hall with basin towels and clothes. Tang Rongdu sat up, pushed aside the heavy curtains with one hand, and got out of the bed naked. A palace servant beside him hurriedly took clean underwear to help him put it on. Beitang Rongdu's face was vaguely sleepy, rubbed his eyes and said: "...Where's father?" While speaking, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Jin Lou who was recording the time, and was slightly taken aback, and said in surprise: "It's already this hour, and I don't want to wake up this king earlier!" A servant bowed in response. "Returning to the prince, His Majesty ordered him to sleep for a while... His Majesty is practicing in the back garden at this time." Beitang Rongdu knew that it must be Beitang Zunyue who saw that he was exhausted last night , I deliberately asked people not to call him and let him rest for a while, so I couldn't help but chuckled secretly, so I asked everyone to take care of washing and changing clothes.

It is the time of early spring, the grass is luxuriant, the flowers and leaves are luxuriant, and the warm wind is intoxicating. By the time Beitang Rongdu led people to arrive, many clan relatives had already arrived, and more than half of the harem concubines who were qualified to come here had arrived one after another. Decorated with gold and jade, as far as the eye can see, there are clusters of flowers and brocades, and the beautiful silk is like weaving. At that time, the breeze is blowing and the weather is fine. Beitang Rongdu led people slowly up the stairs, and saw a group of palace ladies coming together. When all the girls saw Rongdu in the Beitang, they all held their breaths and stopped. There was no sound of crows and sparrows for a while, and they just stepped forward one after another, smiling courteously. Respectfully and flatteringly, Beitang Rongdu just smiled faintly when he saw these young and beautiful women who would be called "mother concubine" if they were promoted to a few more levels, and asked them to get up casually, and asked Take a seat.

Just at this moment, a slender figure came into sight for no reason, with slender shoulders and slender waist, blue silk like clouds, wearing a light pink dress, the whole person is like a newborn peach blossom, gracefully curling up, left and right All the palace servants stretched out their hands and carefully supported her. It was Yu Danyao who was several months pregnant. Beitang Rongdu couldn't help but stop for a while when he saw her, but he left in no hurry. At this time, all the concubines also saw Yu Danyao. Suddenly, there were more or less strange colors in his eyes, such as envy, jealousy, resentment, scruples, etc., but there was still a decent smile on his face, Yu Danyao naturally saw this side, and his expression There was a slight change, but he still walked over slowly, and with the support of the palace servants beside him, he slowly knelt and said blessings deeply, a curtain of fine crystal nets half covered his forehead, making it hard to see clearly for a while With the expression on her face, she could only hear her whispering in a low voice: "... Concubine, please greet the prince." Seeing this, Beitang Rongdu knew that Yu Danyao was really willing to bow down in front of him, and it was nothing more than succumbing to the influence of power. That's all, so he smiled playfully, and turned his eyes casually on the woman's belly, then suppressed his smile, nodded slightly and said: "... Yu Ronghua is very polite today, I want to be taught by the king that day. It really wasn't in vain to follow Yu Ronghua's daily routine."

As soon as the words fell, some of the concubines at the side couldn't help but sneered. Yu Ronghua accidentally bumped into the King of Chu that day, but was ordered by the King of Chu to send a stern nanny in charge, to take good care of him. After teaching the rules for a day, it has already spread throughout the harem. Since Yu Danyao became pregnant, even the concubine who is above her is not easy to face her. Look at her a little bit, but all the women in the harem are extremely jealous of her. This time, once I heard that Yu Danyao was beaten by the king of Chu, the most noble family, there is no such thing as schadenfreude. Now, taking this opportunity, I will naturally laugh Last time, when Yu Danyao saw this, her face was flushed, and there were tears in her eyes, she was so ashamed that her face was red and hot, so she could only press her moist red lips tightly, as if she was a little at a loss while holding the embroidery. Pa, only lowered his eyelids, looking at the ground under his feet, without saying a word, Beitang Rongdu fixed his eyes on Danyao with a little interest, but there was no warmth in his eyes, he just said indifferently: "... It’s good for Yu Ronghua to know the rules, there’s no harm in it.” Yu Danyao hid the resentment in her eyes very well, just bowed her head, saying yes.

All the concubines dispersed for a while, Beitang Rongdu casually exchanged a few words with the few clans who had just come over, and was about to enter the table. At this moment, three beauties in palace costumes accompanied them, and one of them was holding a powder in his right hand. The little girl carved with jade, wearing a light green dress and green shoes, is like a new leaf in spring. When the girl saw Beitang Rongdu in front of her, she immediately smiled and called: "Daddy!" At the same time, he took off the hand of the beauty beside him, ran over, smiled happily, and took his father's slender hand, Beitang Rongdu turned his head and bent down to meet her, and said with a smile: "The wedding day came so early?" Beitang Rongdu Tang Jiaqi tilted his head, and said like a little adult: "It's getting late, the sun is already high." Beitang Rongdu smiled, stretched out his hand to pinch his daughter's cheek, and then turned towards the three beauties in palace costumes It seemed that the three women came forward and saluted together: "...I have seen the prince in person." Beitang Rongdu saw that Shen Hanyan was not there, so he asked, "Where is Han Yan, why didn't you see him?" Mu Mu Qingping stepped forward to take Beitang Jiaqi's little hand again, and then said: "Young Master caught a little cold last night, so he didn't enter the palace today." Beitang Rongdu frowned slightly: "...does it matter? Concubine Xie next to her was holding a plain gauze fan, revealing a small piece of her wrist as white as jade, with a golden bracelet on it, which dazzled people's eyes. It’s okay, it’s all right, just take two doses of medicine.” Beitang Rongdu let out an “oh” and felt relieved, and they chatted a few more homely things before moving forward together, each take a seat.

In a short while, people had already arrived. At that time, the sun was shining brightly, and there were green flowers in the Shanglin Garden. The flowers of all colors exuded fragrance and competed for beauty. The sound of silk and bamboo sang in the throat, the so-called glitz and ostentation in the prosperous age, and the atmosphere of the heavenly family, roughly so. Not long after, a group of servants came slowly behind Beitang Zunyue, with black hair tied under the jade crown of double dragons, and dressed in sea blue brocade clothes, There are only a few faint dragon patterns on the cuffs and collars, which lacks the usual high status, but is more easy-going. When everyone saw the emperor arrived, they all stopped talking and laughing, and all stood up to salute, Beitang Rong Du also leaned slightly, his eyes widening, thinking of being teased and teased by Beitang Zunyue last night, he couldn't help gritted his teeth and smiled, only thinking that the debt must be paid back, at that moment, everyone re-entered their seats, and the palace officials filed forward, Putting all kinds of delicacies, fine nectar and jade dew, Beitang Jiaqi sat on Mu Qingping's lap, hooked his body and grabbed the sleeve of Beitang Rongdu next to him, and said in a voice like a silver bell: "Daddy, I want that too..."

When Beitang Rongdu saw her pointing at the wine bottle full of wine in front of him with her small white hand, he couldn't help but relax his brows slightly, and stretched out his hand to caress the exquisitely carved silk phoenix pattern on Fubeitang Jiaqi's body, and said amusedly: "...Little Girl, you are only a little older now, you can't let you drink like this." Mu Qingping beside her raised her eyes leisurely, looked at Beitang Jiaqi with a bit of love in her eyes, and took a sip of the red wine in front of her. Extracted the juice, tasted it carefully, and then handed it to Beitang Jiaqi, his eyes were like rippling waves, and said softly: "...this is delicious, Luer, would you like to taste it?" Beitang Jiaqi thought for a while, and murmured With a soft 'hmm', she took the jade cup with both hands and drank it slowly. Concubine Song next to her took the rose-colored gauze begonia embellished with beads wrapped around her arm, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: " The princess has always had a temper very similar to that of the prince, so it’s hard for me to listen to my sister." Mu Qingping smiled lightly, caressed Beitang Jiaqi who was drinking red grape juice in her arms, and said: "...it must be that Luer and I have some differences. It's a matter of fate."

While talking, Beitang Jiaqi had already finished drinking the fruit juice, but saw Yu Danyao among the concubines not far away, being supported by the palace servants, slowly stood up, presumably the pregnant woman had been sitting for a while, Because of some swollen legs, she stood upright for a while, relaxed for a while, and then sat back down again. Beitang Jiaqi saw that Yu Danyao's stomach was slightly swollen, which was exactly the same as when Concubine Song was pregnant with Beitang Runyou. She slid off Mu Qingping's body and ran all the way to Yu Danyao's side, staring intently at the other's swollen belly to take a closer look. Although few people present have seen Beitang Jiaqi, they only looked at her. She came from the side of Beitang Rongdu, and she had a pair of eyes that looked like Beitang Zunyue, so she knew that this must be the little princess of Chu Wang's family, so they all smiled to see what she was going to do. Beitang Zunyue was also noncommittal, just looked at Beitang Jiaqi and smiled faintly.

Beitang Jiaqi looked left and right at Yu Danyao curiously, then suddenly gave a 'giggle' laugh, then stretched out his little hand, making a gesture to touch Yu Danyao's swollen belly, with a childish face and interest in his mouth He asked the other party vigorously: "...Is there my younger brother here too?" The people around couldn't help laughing when they heard this immature childish words, Yu Danyao's face moved slightly, and he covered his stomach with one hand without showing any traces, without letting him go. Beitang Jiaqi touched her hand, but her tone was very kind, she just smiled and said: "The Princess is joking." Before Beitang Jiaqi could say anything more, Beitang Zunyue had already waved her to go over, saying: "... girl Come here." Beitang Jiaqi turned her head when she heard the voice, and saw her grandfather calling her, so she left Yu Danyao behind, and made a face before leaving, when Yu Danyao saw her, her face was red and white, and her white teeth were light. Biting her lips lightly, she just lowered her head, Beitang Jiaqi turned her face, and rushed to Beitang Zunyue's side, holding the hem of the man's clothes with her soft little hands, raised her face and smiled sweetly: "...Grandpa!" Beitang Zun Yue stretched out his hand to scratch the girl's little nose, and said with a sneer, "That's not some younger brother, it should be your little uncle or aunt."

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, Concubine Xie in the seat was holding a freshly pinched flower in her hand, resting her hand on the hairpin of her dark temples, with an indifferent smile on her lips, she hummed softly, and secretly left She curled her lips, then turned her head to the second concubine beside her, lowered her voice, and said coldly, "...Yu Ronghua is too careful, our princess is only curious and wants to touch her because of her young age. Take a look, but she seems to be guarding against thieves, could it be that a little girl can even touch her belly? After all, she is pregnant with a dragonborn, and she is very delicate and cautious." Song on the side The concubine frowned when she heard this, and she was also displeased. Beitang Jiaqi is the beloved daughter of Beitang Rongdu, who has always been honored by gold and jade. They are the children of the Chu royal family, but now people are disgusted and guarded against them. Although It's not my own, but after all, it's also a concubine, how can I be happy?Therefore, he smiled lightly, pinched a plain silk fan with a picture of a lady with his slender fingers, shook it slightly, and said calmly, "The Princess is only three years old and doesn't understand anything. It's not a harem woman, Yu Ronghua is really too careful about what she will do."

Mu Qingping was listening to the two talking, but she didn't make a sound, she just raised her hand to support the trembling Qibao gold hairpin on her temples. Since she was already concerned about Shen Hanyan, of course she also loved the house and the black, and treated Beitang Jiaqi , is no different from his own child, at this moment, he felt bored with Yu Danyao in his heart, and Rong Du, who was sitting in Beitang, saw that Yu Danyao was wary of his young daughter At that time, the expression in his eyes had already sank slightly. Didn't Yu Danyao's defensive attitude tell others clearly that as the eldest brother, he would not allow younger brothers to be born, and maybe he even taught his daughter what to do. Even a child who is a little over three years old has to be wary?At this moment, when I heard the whispers of the concubines beside me, I even sneered in my heart. I took a piece of dried fruit, put it in my mouth, and said lightly: "...the daughter of this king is the imperial princess, Your Majesty's eldest granddaughter, how can anyone despise her, a little Ronghua from the fifth rank will give birth to a prince in the future, but it is a pity that the birth mother is of low status, and it is useless after all, not to mention the prince, even a county king It may not be possible to get it, be careful if you only get a prince, you will end up... And if you are a girl, the title of 'princess' is not something everyone can get. If you are unlucky, you will be an emperor for a lifetime. "

After hearing this, the three women all looked at each other, knowing that since Beitang Rongdu said so, the child born to Yu Danyao will be suppressed in the future. With Beitang Rongdu around, the child's future will be very good. Where are you going... Beitang Jiaqi was sticking to Beitang Zunyue's side, grabbed candied fruit from the plate and gave it to Beitang Zunyue, and said with a smile, "Grandfather, I'll eat it for you." Beitang Zunyue rubbed the girl's lips With a small head, with candied fruit in his head, he scoffed: "...just like your old man when he was a child, ghost spirit." Tang Zun became more and more interesting, so he hugged her and let her sit on his lap. Beitang Jiaqi put his arms around the man's neck, and whispered into his ear, "Grandfather, is there really Luer's?" Little uncle?" Beitang Zun laughed more and more, flicked Beitang Jiaqi's snow-white forehead lightly, and said: "...not bad."

After hearing this, Beitang Jiaqi thought for a while, then said with a half understanding: "So that person, is Lu'er's grandmother?... But father has already said that Lu'er's grandmother has passed away." Beitang Zunyue smiled casually, and said, "Grandmother? What kind of grandmother is Yu Shi? How could she be my wife... There is only one wife for me." As he spoke, his eyes turned to Beitang Rongdu He glanced in the direction of Beitang Jiaqi. Although Beitang Jiaqi is young, children know who really likes him or not, so he twisted his body in front of Beitang Zunyue's chest and whispered: "That person doesn't like Luer ... Luer just made a funny face to scare her." Beitang Zunyue laughed heartily, pinched Beitang Jiaqi's cheek, and said, "Why are you as cunning as your father when he was a child!"

The transparent pale golden sunlight shone down on his body with a thin layer of warmth. While he was talking, he suddenly saw Beitang Rongdu waving to this side, and said, "Jiaqi, don't pester your grandfather, come here, come to my father's place." "Beitang Jiaqi looked back, seemed to be hesitating, not knowing whether he should go or not, but Beitang Zunyue said: "... I am a tiger who can eat her, so come here and stay with me I'm going to drink, so I'm going to change your daughter back!" After hearing this, everyone laughed loudly, Beitang Rongdu was caught off guard for a moment, blushing, had to stand up, walked over, and stood next to Beitang Zunyue Sitting on the slightly lowered chair, Beitang Jiaqi's child's heart, seeing him coming, got off Beitang Zunyue's body, returned to Mu Qingping's side, and ate the dishes he liked on the table, Beitang Zunyue ordered others He took a new wine glass, filled it with fine wine, and looked at Beitang Rongdu. He saw that today Beitang Rongdu was wearing a blush red muslin gown with ivory, turquoise, and white robes hanging on his chest. The eye stone three-color hanging beads added a bit of lively and handsome appearance, so I couldn't help but look at it more, and said with a teasing smile: "...you still look better in fresh clothes."

Beitang Rongdu said softly: "Thanks to you, I have a good appearance, even if I am in rags, I can't see where to go anyway." Beitang Zun Yue could smell the faint fragrance of lilies coming from him , suddenly he asked with a low smile: "... how are you, sleeping well?" Hang Zhu, without raising his head, lowered his voice and said: "...Are you boring or not? You have to chew on every little thing." Beitang Zunyue had a lock of black hair hanging from the jade crown Seeing this, he said with a half smile but not a smile: "Tsk, why are you ashamed? It's not once or twice, but I'm twisting." Beitang Rongdu raised his delicate eyebrows slightly, and took a sip of wine , Zhanyan said: "...Who is tweaking? Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, so, I want to spare you tonight, okay?" Beitang Venerable became more dumb, with a look of irony on his face, and then said: "... It's up to you? Try it if you have the ability." Beitang Rongdu smiled and said nothing.

During the banquet, there were common banquet games such as throwing pots and passing flowers, etc., for fun. Later, someone proposed to draw flower sticks. There are many kinds of requests to write poems according to the title. When it was the turn of Beitang Rongdu according to age, he saw that he took out a stick with a frog engraved on it, so he waved his hand and said: " ...Forget it, I have never made any poems before, so I should change the punishment to drink." Beitang Zun smiled more and more than a smile, glanced at the sign, and said: "How can I let you get away with it, and I won't make it for you. !" Beitang Rongdu pondered for a while, frowned and muttered: "Isn't this difficult for a strong man..." As he spoke, he remembered a song, but he couldn't say it, so he had to use it, and then said: "Yes." Then he said loudly Yin said: "... Sitting alone in the pond is like a tiger crouching, and under the green poplar tree to nourish the spirit. If I don't speak first when spring comes, which insect dares to make a sound?"

As soon as this poem came out, the lines between the lines immediately conveyed the aura of disdain for the world and self-respect, the posture of a dragon and tiger, domineering and extraordinary, hidden by a faint aura of dignity, ready to go, it is clearly a sentence of an emperor, everyone secretly glanced at each other, and felt heartbroken After understanding, Beitang Zunyue's eyes flashed brightly, and he said with a smile: "...well, my son Rong Du is really a thousand-mile horse from the Beitang clan, with extraordinary momentum and great ambitions." Beitang Rongdu bowed slightly and said: "My Daqing Dynasty established the country with military force, and followed the way of strengthening the army and the people, and the way of poetry and poetry is nothing more than a small way, which is not beneficial to the country or to others. It’s all for entertainment, and you can’t go to the hall of elegance again and again, otherwise, the literati will be useless except to recite poems and write poems, and how can poems be used to govern the country? For a long time, it is the way to erode government.”
