Holding hands to see the world

Chapter 116
"You haven't seen how Little Master Xue gets along with the emperor. If you saw it, you wouldn't say that." Yun Xi paused at this point, with some mist in his eyes that he couldn't understand, "It's the emperor. Let me stay in Furongxuan. At that time, the emperor said that it was a normal day, so he knew why he let me stay. Do you know Xifeng? Seeing how the little master Xue was getting along with the emperor reminded me of my empress and the emperor outside the palace When I was in the palace, I remembered the time when I was defending against the enemy at the border. I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I always see the shadow of the empress on Little Master Xue’s body, and sometimes I feel like I’m just dreaming.”

"Are you bewitched?" Lu Xifeng said, "There are no two people who are exactly alike in this world. Even if they have similar looks, they definitely don't have the same temperament. How can there be any similarities?" At this point, Lu Xifeng suddenly paused, and his expression changed slightly.

Yun Xi looked at Lu Xifeng curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Xifeng looked at Yun Xi and said, "I don't think so if you don't say it, but when you say that, I think of something, just wait, I'll show you something."

Lu Xifeng got up and went into the inner room, and came out quickly, holding a purse in his hand, and handed it to Yunxi after sitting down, "Look at this purse."

Yun Xi didn't know why, so she showed her what a purse was for, but she still took it and watched it carefully under the light.I saw the pattern of trying to play the lotus embroidered on the red background, and the colorful koi under the green lotus leaves seemed to be alive. This workmanship is really good, but the stitching method... is somewhat similar to the Empress Empress, but the Empress Empress is good at everything, but the female red is not satisfactory. This purse is embroidered much better than the Empress Empress. Show me this Is it because of this needle method?"

"It's not embroidered by Liu Shangju's embroiderer, but a reward I got for making a suit of clothes for the young master of Furongxuan some time ago. I heard from the big maid beside her that it was embroidered by the young master Xue herself." Lu Xifeng said.

Yun Xi was taken aback, Little Master Xue embroidered it?The young master Xue has been recovering from her illness since entering Furongxuan, she has never seen her do needlework, and she didn't know that the young master Xue still has such exquisite craftsmanship.Looking up at Lu Xifeng, he asked, "So what? There are only a few kinds of embroidery art in the world, and it is inevitable that there are some similarities."

"Yes, similarities are inevitable. But didn't you just say that you can see the shadow of the former queen on Little Master Xue, but there is also the shadow of the former queen on this purse."

Is it really a coincidence that the two look at each other?
"Could it be too coincidental?" Lu Xifeng said, feeling an unspeakable strange feeling in his heart.

"There is another more coincidental thing." Yun Xi suddenly felt that her breathing was a little heavy, her expression became a little more confused, and she was a little excited besides the truth. Such complicated emotions appeared in her heart, which really made her feel a little bit. intersection.

"whats the matter?"

"Master Xue said that she likes to dance, and she wants Si Lesi to choose some dancers with strong bodies and outstanding dancing skills. The dancers selected must be able to dance the Baixuan Dance, and there are 36 dancers."

Lu Xifeng knocked the teacup in his hand to the ground as soon as he heard the words, and looked at Yunxi blankly, "There is such a thing, 36 people... and they can dance the Baixuan Dance..."

"Do you think of Xue Wu?"

Lu Xifeng nodded, but couldn't say a word.

"At that time, the first thing I thought of was Xuewu. Xuewu was trained/taught by the empress when she was in the palace. Xuewu consisted of 36 people, each of whom could dance the Baixuan dance. Until now, I still remember 36 people. , the moving scene of the willow's skirt flying and the willow's waist whirling when she dances freely. Not many people in this world know about Xue Wu, and even fewer have seen it."

"This Xuemei is a little weird. Do you think she knows about Xuewu? If she doesn't know, she just needs 36 people and a woman who can dance Baixuanwu. If she knows...but do the math, Xuemei I really shouldn't know these things at my age."

"Yeah, it's because it's too weird that I agreed to come down to find you, but I want to see what Little Master Xue is going to do." Yun Xi said.

"Are you suspecting that there are experts behind Xuemei?"

"I can't rule out this possibility. If there is such an expert, I really want to meet him. I don't know if this expert knows if there is a secret about the Queen's death." Yun Xi sighed.

Lu Xifeng looked at Yun Xi with frowned eyebrows, "But there are rules in the palace, only those who are above the rank of concubine are eligible to call dancers at will. Not to mention that Xue Meiren is just a beauty, and she wants 36 dancers, which is too illegal."

"Yes, I know it's against the rules, but Little Master Xue said that she will ask the emperor to order her to form a dance troupe by herself. I see that Little Master Xue is full of confidence, so it shouldn't be empty words. Since this is the case, we should prepare first. So, you let Si Lesi pick people first, and pick the best ones. Little Master Xue said that the dancers must be beautiful, and the dance skills must be outstanding. You should take care of this personally. I always feel that Little Master Xue has something for us to see. Something impenetrable and intangible."

"Well, I will prepare in private first. Hey, this matter is really going to be sneaky. If word gets out, I don't know what troubles will arise. Ever since this snow beauty entered the palace, I feel that the palace is getting more and more serious. It's not stable."

"What we need is this kind of insecurity, otherwise how can we do things well?" Yun Xi stood up and reached out to hold Lu Xifeng's hand, "Now our sisters can meet again from time to time, so be careful Mrs. Gan, this time the little master Xue fell into the water I almost died from the red spots on my body, and I always feel that I can't get rid of her. If this is the case, then she is not the same person we used to know."

"Didn't it mean that the drug boy beside Yang Yuanzheng was bought by Zhao Ronghua?" Lu Xifeng said.

"I'm afraid Zhao Ronghua is an unlucky scapegoat. If you have time, let your people get closer to Zhao Ronghua. People who stay in the cold palace for a long time will inevitably become a little impatient and lose their minds. Maybe they can find out something. True love. What kind of good clothes and food can a person in the cold palace have, you just need to raise your hand, and you can punish her." Yun Xi will never let go of any clues.

Lu Xifeng nodded, "Leave this matter to me, it's the third watch, and you should go back, so as not to be seen and suspicious."

Yun Xi nodded and said goodbye, his figure gathered into the vast night and gradually disappeared.With Lu Xifeng's upright figure, looking up at the starry sky, countless waves are churning and clamoring in his heart. Is there really a problem with the death of the empress?
Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand and called Yuzhan, a court lady who had been serving her, to come over, whispered something in her ear, and Yuzhan nodded, "Don't worry, Lord Shang, the servant will live up to the entrustment, and there will be trouble tomorrow. Come on."

The sun rose slowly from the horizon, and the golden sunlight spread over every corner of the resplendent harem. The light reflected by the colorful glazed tiles made people dare not look directly at it from afar.On the steps paved with white marble, the courtiers are slowly entering the Chongde Hall. Looking from a distance, it is majestic and solemn, and countless palace people around them stand quietly with bowed heads.
"Your Majesty, I believe that you should first send envoys to meet with the Emperor Xiqi to discuss with him the issue of peaceful co-existence between the two countries. You must not recklessly use troops and put the people at the border gates in fire and water. The people are suffering from the fires of war, and it is inevitable that people will change their minds. Please, Your Majesty. Think twice." Situ Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty agrees with what the Prime Minister Zuo said, please think twice." Fu Jingzong, Minister of the Ministry of War, also appeared on the list.

"What if Baili Chengxuan doesn't plan to negotiate peace at all? What are the two adults going to do?" Wang Zimo also came out at this time and choked, "Baili Chengxuan has always been cunning and cunning, and his words must not be trusted. Otherwise, the covenant between the two countries will not be unilaterally broken. This time Baili Shengxuan regrouped, he must have intended to wash away the humiliation of the defeat in the past, and it would not be easy to persuade Baili Shengxuan to suspend the army and talk about peace I am ashamed, I don't have a solid tongue to persuade Baili Chengxuan, since the two adults insist on peace talks, why don't you recommend an envoy first?"

Above the main hall, Mu Yuanche was dressed mightily in a bright yellow nine-dragon-patterned dragon robe, looking down at his courtiers confronting each other, without showing the slightest expression on his face, only then did he speak when he heard Wang Zimo's words, "What Wang Aiqing said is reasonable, since Prime Minister Zuo Both the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Secretary of the Ministry of War believe that the main battle should not be held, and they recommended an envoy to go to the peace talks. Since the two adults firmly believe that Baili Shengxuan is willing to negotiate peace, this difficult task will be entrusted to the two adults. I just wait for it. information."

Situ Zheng and Fu Jingzong were taken aback for a moment, and they looked at each other. They originally thought that the emperor would be the main force in the battle, and they had to spend a lot of time talking about the emperor's truce today. They never thought that the emperor would actually agree to peace talks.What's more, they didn't expect that the emperor would actually place the task of peace talks on them. Where can they find such a suitable envoy?
The two were waiting to talk again, only to hear Yan Xi shouting loudly, "Retire!"

Mu Yuanche strode away, leaving only a kind of courtiers looking at each other in blank dismay. The emperor who was still very angry yesterday, why did he suddenly change his mind today?
Situ Zheng grabbed Li Maolin, "Master Li, what do you mean by the emperor? You didn't say a word this morning, didn't we all agree yesterday?"

Li Maolin looked up at Situ Zheng with a slight sense of old loneliness, "I said yesterday that Baili Chengxuan is not easy to get along with, you don't listen to me, today I'm still in harmony, I If it’s not good to choke with the family, we can only keep silent.”

Situ Zheng was furious, looked at Li Maolin and said: "Master Li, you can't say that. You and I are both family members, and we share weal and woe. How can you say such a thing? If you think of the family's interests first. Empress Xiaoyuan It has been many years since he passed away, and Li Xianggai has come to his senses, if he is still immersed in the pain of losing his daughter all day long, it may cause dissatisfaction in the family."

"It must have caused the dissatisfaction of the right minister." Li Maolin snorted coldly, "I don't want to say more now, but you will know my painstaking efforts in the future. I just want to say one thing, you should pay attention to the person for this peace talk, Qian Don't make a fool of yourself so as not to lose the face of the family. The interests of the family must be taken into account, but the premise is that the country is complete, the internal affairs are clear, and the people are happy. No eggs."

Li Maolin left with a black face and shook his sleeves. The aristocratic family has become more and more disfigured over the years. I thought the emperor on the throne was so easy to get along with.Today, the emperor suddenly changed his mind. He was afraid that he was going to dig a hole for the aristocratic family. He had persuaded as much as he could, and whether he listened or not was not something he could consider.

Fu Jingzong looked at Li Maolin's back and frowned tightly, and looked sideways at Situ Zheng, "Master Zuoxiang, look..."

"Let's go back and discuss." Situ Zheng said in a low voice, and walked out, never expecting to meet Wang Zimo and Su Guang talking at the door.

The two watched Situ Zheng, Fu Jingzong, and a group of officials behind them come out. They came forward to salute. I admire it. It's just that my lord has never dealt with Baili Chengxuan before. I am a humble minister. I used to follow the emperor's personal expedition back then, and I was fortunate enough to fight with Baili Chengxuan. For the sake of being an official in the same dynasty, I I don’t know if Mr. Zuo Xiang would like to hear something?”
