Adore Trick of Beauty

The sky was twilight, and the vermilion-red central gate of the palace was wide open. People who had gotten up early and passed by had to move to both sides. First, there were armored guards on horseback who roared out from the door. Amidst the thunderous sound of horse hooves, brightly dressed and angry horses, The horses are like dragons, the people are like dragons, they are uniformly aligned. They stand on both sides of the royal road. Their resolute faces are like stone carvings, cold and solemn.

The people on both sides whispered as they watched the guards falling from the sky. It seems that a nobleman from the Tian family is leaving the palace. I don’t know if it’s the emperor or the concubine. But the person who comes out of the middle door must have a very high status.

In the silence, a guard of honor composed of palace maids and chambermaids filed out. The bright yellow canopy was like clouds, and the carriages rolled out slowly.

In the center is a phoenix driven by five white horses, with bright yellow embroidered auspicious clouds flying under the phoenix canopy. The phoenix is ​​three times the size of an ordinary carriage, and layers of bright yellow shark gauze cover the yellow satin surrounding the phoenix. , only the gauze in front of the car is slightly thin, and you can vaguely see a slim figure of a woman leaning sideways inside, so casual, but it makes people feel logical. Her face couldn't be seen clearly, but her vague figure already made people imagine her. The people stretched their heads but couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. The wind blew and gently lifted a corner of the gauze curtain. There was a faint fragrance floating in the wind, which was refreshing.

"The queen comes out of the palace, and everyone else gets out of the way!" A chamberlain sang loudly in front, and the high-pitched voice contained the arrogance of the Tian family.

The people on both sides knelt down one after another, and Feng Chu ran over the royal road. The palace maidens followed closely around Feng Chu. All of them had beautiful faces and graceful manners. People couldn't help but guess how the queen who was rumored to be extremely mysterious was so beautiful and fragrant. .

The entire Zhuque Street was silent. The majesty of the Tianjia made people feel as if a heavy weight of lead was weighing on their hearts, and they dared not let out the air.

Finally, after half a cup of tea, Feng Zhu walked by leisurely. The people on both sides of the royal road sighed and stood up.

"I heard that the Queen is as beautiful as a fairy." Some bold people commented.

"Yes, I heard that he is from the Qi State, and he fled to our Ying State... tsk tsk..." someone added. His words were all full of envy: "What kind of beauty can this be so that the saint can take notice of it and keep it favored for three years..."

"She must be more beautiful than Concubine Yun back then..." someone said enviously.

"It must be, and I heard that she was very powerful in the palace. The deposed empress Xu was forced to death by her...

"Someone said mysteriously.

"Seriously? Seriously?!" Someone smelled the gossip and quickly came over and asked.

"Of course this is true..." The speaker lowered his voice and began to speak vividly.

…

In the gently swaying phoenix, Nie Wushuang leaned on the brocade pier. Under the heavy phoenix crown, an alluring face with exquisite make-up was peacefully closed, eyes resting, and breathing evenly. Xia Lan on the side held her breath and lowered her head.

After a long time, Nie Wushuang opened her eyes and exhaled. Her beautiful eyes looked faint, like a deep pool of water, making it difficult to tell whether she was happy or angry. She asked calmly: "Are you here?"

"It will take half a day to get back to the Queen. But I will definitely arrive before lunch." Xia Lan smiled, straightened Jin Dun behind her, and asked with a smile: "Is the Queen impatient? That lake The chrysanthemums at Guangsi will bloom for several more days. Your Majesty, I just saw them a few days ago, and you are thinking about them again so soon?"

Nie Wushuang smiled, lowered his eyes, and his thick eyelashes cast a small shadow on his face: "The autumn wind chills the flowers and they fall easily. If you don't see them in time, it will be too late in a few days."

Xia Lan only felt that her smile was vague, and she had an unspeakable feeling in her heart. She wanted to make some more jokes. Yang Zhi approached Feng Hu, got on the carriage and said through the curtain: "Empress, today Zen Master Mingrong is here to give a lecture. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Nie Wushuang raised his head, his smile even wider, and his bright eyes flashed: "Very good! Go and send someone back to the palace to report to the emperor, saying that I will stay overnight in Huguang Temple and listen to Zen Master Mingrong's lectures. We will meet again tomorrow morning. Return to the palace."

"Yes!" Yang Zhi responded and stepped back to do as he was told.

Xia Lan was happy in her heart and said with a smile: "This is great for the Queen. You can stay in Huguang Temple for one night and you can look at the chrysanthemums as you like."

Nie Wushuang raised his eyes and looked at the gauze curtain decorated with pearls in front of him, and said with a half-smile: "Yes, you can look at it however you want..."

In the distance, the golden-domed Buddhist hall of Huguang Temple can be vaguely seen...

…

In the bamboo forest, there is a bamboo house and a little candlelight. There was a stone table and a few smooth stone benches placed in the simple courtyard. It was already golden autumn and the night was very cold. A handsome figure stood under the moon, looking at the bright moonlight and thinking for a long time.

It has been more than ten days since I came to Yingjing. I want to go back to Qi, but I am blocked for various reasons and cannot leave the capital even half a step. Several envoys from the State of Qi who came to Yingjing had long been fascinated by the prosperity here. They played and sang all night long, drunk and dreamy. How could they be willing to follow him back? !

Sigh... He sighed and touched the stone table with his hand. The water and wine in the glass had reached the bottom. In this remote place, there are no dignitaries to be welcomed, and there are no restaurants or shops, making daily life very inconvenient. He had to do everything himself. But he prefers this Yingying Xiuzhu. The world is too dirty and noisy, so he is lucky to live in a corner.

There were slight footsteps outside the house. He looked back and saw the bamboo door opened with a creak, and a slender figure appeared outside the door.

He looked closely and saw the woman taking off the hood on her head and slowly revealing her face. The moonlight in the courtyard seemed to suddenly become a little brighter. She looked at him and smiled faintly: "Master Gu, are you okay?"

Gu Qinghong looked at her for a long time and sighed slightly: "Queen's wife

When my mother came to the humble house in person, Gu was frightened. "

Nie Wushuang walked in slowly, her eyes glanced at the wine pot and wine glass on the stone table, and smiled: "I heard that Mr. Gu was leaving the capital, so I came to say goodbye to Mr. Gu. After all, we are old friends, and we have not fulfilled the rites of a landlord. I am so ashamed, how could I let Mr. Gu return to Qi in such a state of embarrassment?"

Gu Qinghong looked at her, who was wearing a long black dress embroidered with red patterns. In the moonlight, she looked like a fairy and was as charming as a charming princess. The years have not left any rough traces on her body, but have tempered her sharper and stronger.

He laughed at himself and raised his head: "I'm afraid that if Gu wants to leave Yingjing, he won't be able to do so."

Nie Wushuang glanced at him and frowned slightly: "Oh?——"

Seeing that she was indifferent, Gu Qinghong asked coldly: "Isn't this all the Queen's instruction?"

Nie Wushuang was not angry, and his expression was extremely gentle: "Anyway, Mr. Gu has already made a conclusion about my character. Yes or no, no matter what I say, it is useless. It is not easy for me to leave the palace. Is it possible for me to leave the palace tonight? Come on, Mr. Gu, you don’t want to invite me to sit down and have a glass of water and wine?”

Gu Qinghong was silent for a while, then waved his sleeves: "Please!"

Nie Wushuang looked at him sitting on the stone bench and clapped his hands gently. Immediately, a servant in green clothes and a small hat came in from outside the house to serve snacks and hot wine. The steam was steaming and the aroma was fragrant. Lanterns were lit in all directions, and the simple courtyard suddenly felt a bit warm and lively. Nie Wushuang looked at it for a while, then waved the servant away with satisfaction.

Gu Qinghong knew that she was a queen and her travels were taken care of by the palace staff, but her preparedness still made him look surprised.

Nie Wushuang sat opposite him, smiled in a daze, and looked at Gu Qinghong: "You and I are husband and wife. Tonight, there is no need to mention the past. I want to have a glass of water and wine with Mr. Gu and play a game of chess. From now on, you Life or death, my life or my death, it has nothing to do with each other, how about it?"

After she said that, she poured a glass of water and wine and drank it in one gulp. She flashed the bottom of the cup at him, and seeing that Gu Qinghong still didn't make a move, she raised her eyebrows and said with a smile in her beautiful eyes, "What? Master Gu is afraid that I will poison this wine?"

Gu Qinghong smiled lightly: "Of course not." He poured himself a glass of wine, looked at the wine in the glass, and said lightly: "Anyway, the Queen is not interested in caring about someone's life."

Nie Wushuang poured another glass of wine. Under the dim candlelight, her face was extremely beautiful, as hazy as the clouds: "Really? Master Gu's life is worth thousands of gold, can it be easily handed over to my hands?" ?”

"Even the Holy Emperor wants to recruit talents from Mr. Gu, not to mention how many people in Qi State respect Mr. Gu."

Every time Nie Wushuang said something, the self-deprecating look on Gu Qinghong's face grew stronger. When she reached the end, Gu Qinghong said lightly: "Thank you for the compliment."

After that, both of them were silent.

He drank one glass after another, and the courtyard was silent, illuminating the two of them. Nie Wushuang looked at the table full of delicacies and was just lost in thought.

There was a "click", and after an unknown amount of time, Gu Qinghong put down the wine glass, with calmness in his clear eyes: "Gu has finished the wine given by the Queen."
