Zhuo Qihua

Chapter 67

Zhuo Ji, who made his official appearance for the first time, gave everyone a big blow - Zhuo Ji expressed his injustice for this, and this was completely forced by a certain vexatious emperor to make him do this.Before leaving this morning, Emperor Yong'an made strict demands on Xiaohui, Chang Jing, Wang Bao, Yuan Xiu and Aunt Hua, that they must dress up their master in a beautiful, glamorous and luxurious manner, and absolutely not allow him to be ashamed.Zhuo Ji rolled his eyes as he listened to it, he was still enjoying the scenery, and it wasn't that he wanted to get married.Xiaohui and others who had obtained the imperial edict dared not disobey, and the result was Zhuo Ji's current appearance. His only comfort was that a certain emperor allowed him not to wear makeup.As a straight boy brother, he was actually not used to being dressed like this.

Zhuo Ji didn't get used to it, but he was very satisfied with Emperor Yong'an's attire.Huang Guixie saw the satisfaction of the Holy Majesty in her eyes, and shook her head in her heart, how much did the Holy Majesty resent Zhuo Ji's usual plainness.A group of people entered the main hall of Fengtian Hall, Emperor Yong'an helped his mother up the steps, Mingyu pulled Zhuo Ji to sit down, and Zhuo Ji was sitting between Huangguixie and Mingyu.There should be Deguixie next to Huangguixie, but Deguixie could not come, but this seat was not vacant as before when Zhuo Ji didn't come, but Zhuo Ji sat.Mingyu knew in his heart that he could not sit in that seat.

Mingyu didn't feel dissatisfied at all, he was very happy to sit with Zhuo Ji.As for Zhuo Ji's dress that surpassed his identity, Mingyu understood it very well.It's strange that Zhuo Ji doesn't dress up like this on such a day.The royal concubine was also very happy.As soon as the three of them sat down, the noble lady said, "I thought you wouldn't come today again."

Zhuo Ji: "The Empress Dowager's birthday attendant will definitely come, but last night the attendant sent a birthday gift in advance, so I won't join in the fun this morning." Then he lowered his voice, "I can sleep a little longer."

Huang Guixie suppressed her laugh, Mingyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and couldn't hold back her laughter.Huangguixie: "No wonder Deguixie always says that you just want His Majesty to give you a plate of rice cakes. There are many people today, so please be careful."

"Okay, waiter must talk less and eat more today!" Zhuo Ji made a zipper movement on his mouth, Huang Guixie and Mingxie expressed their incomprehension.

After everyone was seated, Emperor Yong'an began to speak the opening remarks.Everyone raised their glasses.Afterwards, the Empress Dowager expressed her joy today and her liking for the birthday gifts presented by everyone present, and Emperor Yong'an said that the birthday banquet had begun.Baixifang prepared a variety of performances, trying to make the queen mother happy.When the Queen Mother is happy, they will be rewarded.Ming Xi was due on November [-], and he hardly touched the food on the table.Ever since he was pregnant, he only ate food in Yanxin Palace that was cooked by his close servants and that Zhuo Ji allowed him to eat.Even if it was the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, he was worried about the plates of food on the table.Before he came, he was full and not hungry.

Eating on such occasions is secondary.Huang Guixie, like Mingxie, barely touched his chopsticks, but Zhuo Ji ate deliciously.Seeing that he likes to eat fish, Huanggui asked Changan to put the plate of fish on his table on Zhuo Ji's table, and Mingyu asked Agui to give Zhuo Ji his plate of fish.Ming Xun also asked: "Shun Xun, didn't you eat something before you came?"

"I ate it." Zhuo Ji said, "I just love to eat it. There are so many delicacies, and my mouth is watering just looking at it."

Huang Guixie and Mingxie: [What kind of life did this person live before entering the palace! 】

Huang Guixie raised her hand, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice, "Zhuo Shuzhen was sent to the countryside by Zhuo's family, and it will be difficult for her to return to Dongluo City in this lifetime. Your Majesty has finally vented her anger on you."

Zhuo Ji smiled and said, "You can have an extra bowl of rice today."

Mingyu: "Shunxi, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, go and sit in my palace."

"Okay, I'll go to your place for breakfast tomorrow."

"it is good!"

The three of them had a great time chatting, Concubine Xi was envious, and she also wanted to go over to chat, but the maid and concubine could only look at each other across the road.Above, the Empress Dowager said in a low voice: "Shun is just lazy, look how good-looking he is when he dresses up, he is much more beautiful than those enchanting ones in the palace."

Emperor Yong'an watched the singing and dancing, but the corner of his eye was always on Zhuo Ji's body, he said with a smile: "This is still my decree. You see, once he returns to the palace, he will change back for sure. He always said that his scalp hurts when the pan head is pulled."

Because it was in public, the conversation between Emperor Yong'an and the Empress Dowager would not be as casual as it was in private.The Empress Dowager smiled a little, and said lightly: "When Shi Fangyun is born, let her go to Concubine Xiao's or Concubine Wen's palace. This girl is a bit delicate, and the imperial concubine is raising her body now, so I'm afraid she won't care about training her."

Emperor Yong'an nodded, obviously not wanting to talk about Shi Fangyun.

After the first dance, Concubine Xi said, "Shunxi, didn't you just say that you prepared a show for the Queen Mother? Why don't you show it soon?"

Concubine Xi asked casually, with a coquettish smile on her face, obviously not looking for faults, Zhuo Ji said arrogantly: "Young Concubine, once the show of Waiting for the Body is released, the subsequent shows can be withdrawn, and there is no need to watch it at all. So Waiting This show can only be put at the end, the finale."

Concubine Xi: "You are so shameless." She turned to the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, if Shunxi's program is not good, you can punish him."

The queen mother laughed: "Punish! I will definitely punish you!"

Emperor Yong'an: "If the Empress Dowager does not punish, I will."

Concubine Xi laughed.

Most of the people present here saw with their own eyes for the first time how the Empress Dowager and His Majesty doted on the noble lord of the Xiangfu Palace, which made them dumbfounded, envious and jealous.Two dark and malicious eyes shot at Zhuo Ji from behind, Zhuo Ji felt it, and he didn't look back.Feng Xichao, who stood at the top and waited on Long Live, cast a casual glance and lowered his eyes.

Singing and dancing, playing, the performance of Baixifang is very exciting.Zhuo Ji yawned several times. Emperor Yong'an, who knew his fault, gave Zhang Xian a few words, and Zhang Xian left.When Zhang Xian came back, the musicians who were going to play later wanted to cry.By the way, I felt sleepy after listening to the playing. Your Majesty decreed that all subsequent playing repertoires should be cancelled.

"By the way, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Mingyu asked with concern.Zhuo Ji: "No. That's my problem. When I couldn't sleep well when I was a child, I went to the theater to listen to others play music, and I could sleep for a while. As time went by, as long as I listened to play music or something, I would fall asleep."

Mingyu wanted to laugh but felt sad.Zhuo Ji is the young master of Zhuo Mansion, and if he wants to listen to the music, he has to go to the theater.Huang Guixie asked: "Is your problem of not being able to sleep better now?"

"It's better. I'm worried about you and Brother Ming."

The cheerful rhythm sounded, and seven or eight dancers with their belly exposed appeared on the stage.Huang Guixie immediately said, "This is a dancer from Haixi Kingdom."

Zhuo Ji nodded.It was a hot day, and the Haixi country dancers wore very little clothes, with a layer of tulle on the outside, with their belly exposed and bare feet.Kodan is also painted on the toenails, which is very beautiful.All the male members of the royal family present were drooling, and the faces of the women were all bad.Zhuo Ji watched it with relish. In the last days, such entertainment and pastimes disappeared long ago. Even if there was, there was some kind of rot behind it.Being able to appreciate exotic dances in such a pure way, Zhuo Ji is very nostalgic and emotional.

The dancers danced their bodies heartily, swinging their slender waists.The dancers of these Hercynian countries all have particularly white skin, and their appearance is full of exotic amorous feelings.Zhuo Ji's gaze lingered on the dancer's waist, and he thought to himself: [It would look better if it was a belly dance. 】

The face of Emperor Yong'an on the head gradually darkened, where is someone's eyes looking!Thinking of Zhuo Ji's disability, Emperor Yong'an said, "Zhang Xian."

"Long live." Zhang Xian approached.

Emperor Yong'an: "Go tell Shunxi, if you don't want me to chop off the heads of these dancers, he will take care of his eyes for me!"

Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, then suppressed a smile, and hurried down to come behind Shun Yu Zuo, listening.Zhuo Ji looked up in obvious surprise, and then his face was speechless.After Zhang Xian left, everyone saw that Shunxi (俍俍) picked up the chopsticks, lowered his head, concentrated on eating and drinking, and stopped watching the dancing.Look at Your Majesty again, huh!Your Majesty is displeased!

The queen mother was also extremely speechless watching from the side.There is no better way to know a child than a mother.Emperor Yong'an always denied that he was in love with Zhuo Ji, but just doted on him.The Empress Dowager can see clearly now, how can she not be emotional?Zhuo Ji just looked at the dancer a few more times, and the emperor was not happy.The queen mother called Shen Gu and said a few words to her, Shen Gu nodded and left.

The steward of Baixifang almost burst into tears, and the dancers in the back can't be too revealing!How could he find the right clothes in time!

In the following programs, Zhuo Ji was absolutely well-behaved, and his eyes never wandered. Only then did Emperor Yong'an turn his anger into joy.Huang Guixie found an opportunity to ask, "What happened just now, Your Majesty?"

Zhuo Ji was full of resentment: "Your Majesty said that it is inappropriate for the servant to stare at the belly of the dancer. The servant is really wronged. The servant is just analyzing whether these dancers are good or not from the perspective of a doctor. Although the waist is a little thinner, the buttocks are big enough. It's big, but it's easy to give birth to."

Huang Guixie and Mingyu felt the pain of Deguixie sitting with Zhuo Ji.Huang Guixie put the two plates of meat on Zhuo Ji's table with her own hands: "Eat more! Shut your mouth!"

First up, the Queen Mother: "Shun Xun has a good appetite. Last year in the Chongyang Festival, Shun Xun ate a lot, why don't you see him gaining weight? Is it because you have worked too hard recently for your concubine to give birth?"

Emperor Yong'an: "It's a little hard work, but he can't sleep well, which has affected his body. He was hungry before, so now he likes to eat. Even if he is full, as long as there is something delicious, he is reluctant to put his chopsticks away." .”

The queen mother's eyes were heavy: "I am tired of seeing the Zhuo family now."

Emperor Yong'an nodded.And the Queen Mother's words also determined the fate of the Zhuo family.

Everyone eats, drinks, listens to music and dances.At the end of the last program, Zhang Xian spoke to the emperor and queen mother.Emperor Yong'an immediately said: "Shunxi, where's your side show?"

Zhuo Ji put down his chopsticks: "The performance of Baixifang is over?"

"Well, it's your turn."

Zhuo Ji rinsed his mouth, wiped his hands and mouth and stood up: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, this show by the servants can be regarded as offering flowers to Buddha."

Emperor Yong'an: "Oh? Why borrow flowers to present Buddhism?"

Zhuo Ji came out, raised his arms, and patted his hands on the side of his face. He saw Qin Wang Nanrong Chenzhu, Qi Wang Nanrong Chenzhu and the four princesses Nanrong Bier, the daughter of the eldest princess Xiao Bin, and the second princess Jinyu Nan Rong Wan'er, the daughter of the third princess, Nan Rong Xin'er, the daughter of the third concubine Wen, and Nan Rong Ran'er, the daughter of the fourth princess Qiong, came out and stood behind Zhuo Ji.Qin Wang and Qi Wang are in front, and the four princesses are behind.Nan Rong Bi'er and Nan Rong Wan'er supported Nan Rong Xin'er who was helped by the palace servants on crutches.

Zhuo Ji took the lead and led the six children to salute, and they heard them shouting in unison: "Shunxi (Chen 杋...) I wish the Queen Mother (Emperor Grandmother) Songhe Changchun, the spring and autumn are not old, the old days are renewed, and the joy is long-lasting. The Queen Mother (Emperor) Grandmother) happy birthday~"

"Hehe, good, good!"

There are splashes in the queen mother's eye sockets, isn't the old man just trying to be a filial heir?Especially when the queen mother saw that the third princess was able to stand up on crutches and walk a few steps, even though she was tired of Concubine Wen, she couldn't help feeling sad and even more fortunate seeing this scene.Concubine Wen covered her mouth with a handkerchief to keep herself from crying, tears were streaming down her face.

Zhuo Ji saluted again alone, and said: "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the servants, Your Highness, and the princesses have prepared a program to cheer up the Queen Mother. The servants will play a flute for the Queen Mother and Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an almost coughed.blowjob? !

Emperor Yong'an restrained the expression on his face, maintaining his original composure, but changed his sitting posture, and the thing between his legs began to raise his head uncontrollably.Emperor Yong'an gritted his teeth in his heart, this person was deliberately teasing him!Zhang Xian and Feng Xi were full of surprise, by the way, they really know how to play the flute!

Chang Jing picked up the Xiao box, opened it, and Zhuo Ji took out the "Feng Luan" inside.As soon as this Xiao was taken out, someone who knew the goods immediately said: "Isn't this the 'Phoenix Luan' left by the past and future masters named Xiao?!"

When the queen mother went to see the emperor, Emperor Yong'an said with dangerous eyes: "I indeed gave Shunxi the 'Fengluan'."

After a few gasps, those who were surprised then understood.Given that the Holy Majesty loves Shunxi so much, it should be expected that Fengluan would be given to him.

Zhuo Ji held Xiao in a dignified manner, moved two steps to the side, and gestured to the six children.The six children also signaled to him that they were ready.Zhuo Ji began.The melodious Xiao Sheng sounded, it was an unfamiliar tune.After the prelude, the six children sang.

"Legends are shining in the distant sky. There is a beautiful city floating faintly in the middle of the clouds. I don't know what it looks like, but I have to find its direction. I hope I can fly to the sky and find the place in my dream... "

Many people whispered in surprise, what song is this?

Suddenly, the three princesses began to sing solo: "In the city in the sky, there are small wild flowers that are fragrant. In the city in the sky, the singing of birds is melodious."

Then, the six people began to sing in chorus again: "Looking at the sky gently, singing softly in my heart..."

Concubine Wen's crying had already overflowed, and Concubine Xiao and Concubine Qiong were comforting her.Concubine Xiao and Concubine Qiong also had tears in their eyes, tears of shame and pride for their daughters.

The three princesses sang solo again: "In the city in the sky, there are small wild flowers that are fragrant. In the city in the sky, the singing of birds is melodious."

Listening to the children's unique voices, many people here seem to see a distant sky, a lonely city like a paradise floating faintly.The city is surrounded by clouds and mist, and only the most innocent people can enter that city.

The queen mother's tears also slid down, and the children began to sing for the second time.At the part where the three princesses sang solo, this time, the four princesses sang together.In the city in the sky, there are small wild flowers, where they are just carefree princesses, not royal princesses deep in the palace, with all kinds of labels on their bodies, who can't help themselves.

Xiao Sheng stopped, singing stopped.Zhuo Ji took the six children and saluted again: "Happy birthday to the queen mother (grandmother)!"

"Okay, okay, very good, very good. You are all good children, good children of the emperor's grandmother!" The queen mother wiped her tears and said, "Aunt Shen, put the names and birthdays of these grandchildren of the old man on the table." In the Buddhist hall of the old man."

"Yes."

Huang Guixie immediately supported Chang'an's hand to stand up, Wen Pin, Xiao Pin, Qiong Pin and Jin Ni also came out in a hurry, took their children to kneel down and thanked each other.In the Buddhist hall of the queen mother, there are only taboos of the emperor's name and birth date.The Empress Dowager worshiped the Buddha every day to pray for the emperor.Even the noble concubine was so excited that she cried, not to mention Concubine Wen, Concubine Xiao, Concubine Qiong and Concubine Jin.The Queen Mother asked them to get up and said, "Concubine Wen, take good care of Xin'er."

"Yes, Empress Dowager..." Wen Bin wept uncontrollably.

It was only at this time that Emperor Yong'an said, "Give the four princesses Liuying Zhuhua."

Concubine Wen, Concubine Xiao, Concubine Qiong, and Concubine Jin held their daughters and wept to thank each other again.Liuyingzhu flowers will glow slightly at night, which is caused by inlaying fluorite, and is a woman's jewelry.Only Concubine Xi, the former Cheng family, and the favored Concubine Shu lived in the harem.Emperor Yong'an did not bestow official princess titles on the four princesses, but bestowed Liuying Zhuhua on them, so the meaning is naturally different.

Zhuo Ji, who returned to his seat, was unhappy: "Your Majesty, what about the servant's reward?"

Emperor Yong'an: "Your flute can barely catch your ears. It's completely because Chen Mu and Chen Mu sing well. I want you to be rewarded, and you can practice hard when you go back."

Your Majesty, why do I have other meanings when I hear your words?

Zhuo Ji accused Emperor Yong'an with his eyes, and the queen mother said with a smile: "Shun, the emperor doesn't reward you, but I will reward you. The emperor forbids you to drink, so I will reward you with a pot of wine, okay?"

Zhuo Ji stood up, pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward!"

Shen Gu took a jug of wine and put it on Zhuo Ji's table, Zhuo Ji was very happy.Emperor Yong'an did not stop it.Emperor Yong'an rewarded the four princesses but not the two princes, but the noble concubine would not be dissatisfied, and he believed that the noble concubine would not be dissatisfied either.Concubine Wen, Concubine Xiao, Concubine Jin and Concubine Qiong should be very grateful to Zhuo Ji now.Even if Concubine Wen and Concubine Xiao did not fall out of favor, it was impossible for them to put their daughter's name and date of birth in the Empress Dowager's Buddhist hall, and it was even more impossible for the Holy One to bestow Liuying Zhuhua on their daughter.They really have no resentment towards Zhuo Ji, and they are convinced.

However, many concubines and servants present felt uncomfortable. They just felt that the reward from the Holy One was too heavy. Didn't they just play a flute and sing a song?They will too!
