Chapter 442: Doing What You Want
It’s late at night and the wind is cold.
The imperial chariot was replaced by Xu Mansion's carriage and horses, and Qiu Suan took Emperor Longqing, who had left the palace in disguise, to the west of the city late at night.
Before the carriage and horses arrived, the Qiu family had already arranged for someone to go and meet him in advance. Although the identity of the emperor was not revealed, the status of a person who could be treated respectfully by Shilang Qiu was naturally extraordinary.
I am afraid that he is not a prince or aristocrat from somewhere in the capital, so the shopkeeper of the flower shop who received the news in advance brought someone to greet him outside the door early.
On the high platform, the dancers are graceful and graceful, and the beautiful exotic tunes are lingering in the entire inner hall. Listening to them, all the guests are so intoxicated that they wish they could lie down drunk in the beauty land every night and waste their barren years.
Xia Houjie, wearing a fox fur cloak and turning a jade ring on his fingertips, got out of the car and walked slowly in. Along the way, on both sides of the road, there was wealth and happiness in the world.
Qiu was one step behind, but followed suit behind him.
The shopkeeper of the flower shop leads the way in front, and an oncoming young woman offers wine on a tray from behind.
"Master, please be careful where you step." The person leading the way bowed and reminded.
Xia Houjie, Emperor Longqing, walked through the door and walked down the steps until he entered the circular inner courtyard. When he looked up, he happened to see a stunning face appearing in front of him.
The flawless and exquisite facial features, the slender and slender figure, the swaying and dancing steps, are all exotic and exotic that he has never seen before.
The woman's eyebrows are deep and three-dimensional, and under her thick, curly long eyelashes, there is a pair of eyes that are particularly eloquent.
The eyes as soft as spring water passed slightly through the cheers of the people in the audience, and the look of surprise unexpectedly fell on a tall and beautiful girl. The stalwart man in front of her.
At a startling glance, the smile on the corner of the beauty’s mouth bloomed as dazzlingly as a summer flower.
Unexpectedly, a surprise flashed across the depths of his dark eyes.
Excited cheers and laughter can be heard all around, and everything noisy seems to have become a slowed down background and noise at the moment when the two eyes meet.
In the man's pupils, the woman's beautiful eyes were reflected and she looked back with a smile.
In the depths of the woman's dark blue eyes, there is a beauty that can turn all living beings in this world upside down.
Cheerful singing and dancing in minor tunes, accompanied by sonorous and powerful drumbeats, a group of bold and beautiful dancers whirled on the stage. Wherever their long sleeves passed by, they could see the faces of all human beings in the dark night.
Xia Houjie squinted his eyes for a moment and became confused.
I didn’t expect that right at the feet of the emperor, there would be such beauty and fragrance.
"Master, please enjoy it from the high seat!"
The colorful lanterns hang quietly in the flower tower amidst the bustle of people, and the candles in the cages are extinguished. , from time to time, servants would climb up to replace them.
Qiu Suan accompanied the current emperor tremblingly, enjoying the exotic programs on the stage in the elegant and unique seats.
Wei Xi, the general manager of the palace, stayed not far away conscientiously.
It was always a good place for him to relax and feel comfortable, but Qiu Suan had been sitting there for most of the day tonight, still secretly sweating behind him.
I don’t know how long Emperor Longqing raised his head to admire it, until the beauties on the stage had changed three times. Qiu Suang just took a sip of his drink when he suddenly heard the Ninth Five-Year Master next to him finally speaking in a deep voice. He said: "Let the woman dance another song."
Qiu raised his head, was startled for a moment, and immediately guessed which woman the emperor was talking about.
Qiu Suan was overjoyed to see that the emperor had someone to belong to tonight!
As long as he has a direction, the next thing will be much easier for him!
Qiu Suan bowed and stood up, went out and said a few words, then came back and sat down.
Not long after, the young woman, who had already taken a break from the stage, once again held a pipa, swung the bell on her ankle, and came quickly barefoot.
A pair of beautiful eyes looked around, and when they met the deep and majestic eyes on the stage, they couldn't help but smile, stood up, and performed on the stage again!
The audience was filled with thunderous cries!
Qiu Suan looked at the emperor's face from the side, and as expected, he showed a look of satisfaction and joy.
He finally fell in love with the emperor!
Qiu Suan was very proud and couldn't hold back his excitement. He seized the opportunity and quickly asked his servants to return to the Duke's Mansion to deliver the message.
He accompanied the emperor to have fun late at night, fearing that he would not be able to sleep in the mansion.
Not long after. The old Duke was drinking ginseng soup to warm his stomach in the study, and finally waited for the news from his son.
A weather-beaten face, under the candlelight, it was difficult to tell whether he was happy or worried.
The Sacred Heart is truly unpredictable.
The palace gate of Daliang Palace was never opened again that night.
Inside the palace gate, it was eerie and lonely.
Outside the palace gate, the night is beautiful, the lights are bright, singing and dancing are happening, it is like a Daliang City.
The fourth watch has passed.
The watchman kept knocking and shouting: "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of candles!"
The official residence in Dongcheng was quiet.
Everyone is immersed in sleep, snoring like thunder.
In a dark bedroom, a hand pulled open the bed curtain and tied it to the head of the bed.
"Master, can't you sleep?"
Hearing the movement behind him, Ruan Weizhi hurriedly turned around and looked back. Seeing that his wife was also awakened by his movement, he felt little guilt and hurriedly turned to his wife Sun. Shi tucked in the corners of the quilt, "It's cold at night, cover yourself well. Did you wake me up?"
"No, I feel light-headed recently." Sun Shi lay on the pillow sleepily, Rubbing his forehead.
“Have a headache?” Ruan Weizhi was a little worried.
Ms. Sun shook her head, "No."
As she spoke, she sat up from behind and stared at her husband with concern for a while.
“Not sleeping anymore?”
“Not sleeping anymore, it’s already this hour, I’ll pack up and go to court after waking up for a while.”
“Yes.”
Ms. Sun nodded and tried to get up to help her husband change, but was stopped by Ruan Weizhi.
"You have been feeling unwell these days. Don't be busy and rest more. It's still early, so why not sleep for a while." Ruan Weizhi said with concern.
Ms. Sun smiled lightly and said, "I can't sleep either."
The old couple woke up before dawn and couldn't sleep anymore. In desperation, the two of them They got up to change clothes and wash up together. The maid outside brought hot water and prepared breakfast.
The two of them lit up night lights and had breakfast in the bright main room.
Sun filled the porridge and placed it in front of her husband Ruan Weizhi, "I see that the master recently went to court and was in a bad mood every time he came back. Is it going to be nothing serious?"
Ruan Hezhi took the bowl, and the couple retreated from the servants in the room to talk to each other.
Ruan Wenzhi said: "There is nothing big in the court, it's just that there are too many trivial matters and I feel a little tired."
"I still have to be at ease in everything."
"I know, don't worry. It's almost the end of the New Year, and there are many people coming back from all over the country to report on their work, and there are many things to do. Have you finished sending out all the boxing gifts?"
"The arrangements have been made a long time ago, don't worry." Mrs. Sun filled a bowl for herself, sat down and chewed slowly.
We shouldn't be talking during the dinner, but they have been married for many years, there are no outsiders in the house, and it's still early in the morning. It's a comfortable time to chat while eating.
Halfway through eating, Ruan Weizhi sighed deeply.
