Chapter eight hundred and eighteen undercurrents surging
"Captain Wei, the Queen is calling you!" After hearing what Nanny Feng said, Wei Xun hurriedly looked at Guo Shengtong, leaned down and said, "Queen!"
Guo Shengtong smiled at him and said: "I heard that Captain Wei is very skilled in martial arts, gallops on the battlefield, and is brave enough to be invincible by thousands of people!"
Wei Xun's old face turned red, and he quickly bowed and said, "The Queen praises you so much, I am ashamed to deserve it!"
Guo Shengtong asked with a smile: "I wonder if Captain Wei can dance with a sword and let me, Yin Guiren, Xu Meiren and Xi Meiren look at him?"
"This..." Wei Xun hesitated for a moment, looked up, and saw everyone looking at him curiously, especially Yin Lihua, whose beautiful eyes seemed to contain thousands of stars, so beautiful that it was dazzling.
He took a deep breath and said sternly: "Since the queen has a purpose, the humble minister will...show his embarrassment!" As he spoke, he took a few steps back, slowly pulled out the sword from under his ribs, held the hilt upside down, and showed it.
Make a starting move.
Then, he gave a low drink and danced his sword vigorously. In front of a stunning beauty like Yin Lihua, Wei Xun didn't want to be embarrassed, so he showed all his strength and skill, and a sword was in his hand.
, sometimes it is as quiet as a virgin, sometimes it moves like a stray rabbit, sometimes it opens and closes widely, wandering like a dragon, sometimes it holds out thousands of sword flowers, which is beautiful and beautiful.
While watching, Guo Shengtong nodded repeatedly, picked up the teacup, and asked with a smile: "Yin Guiren, Xu Meiren, Xi Meiren, what do you think of Captain Wei's swordsmanship?"
Yin Lihua also learned swordsmanship, but what she learned was just fancy. Compared with her, Wei Xun's swordsmanship is naturally superior.
Xu Xiling and Xi Cheying are both experts in swordsmanship, and they naturally disapprove of Wei Xun, who is dedicated to sword dancing. In their opinion, Wei Xun's sword skills are flashy, and this kind of martial arts is of little use in actual combat.
Yin Lihua did not speak, but Xu Xiling and Xi Cheying said politely: "Colonel Wei is highly skilled in martial arts, and he is indeed the Colonel Hu Qi appointed by His Majesty!"
Guo Shengtong chuckled and said: "If Yin Guiren, Xu Meiren, and Xi Meiren are interested, I can ask Captain Wei to teach you swordsmanship! In the future, I will accompany you when you encounter danger, and I can help your majesty share the burden."
two."
While she was speaking, Wei Xun had just finished a swordsmanship dance. He held up his sword, stepped in and saluted Guo Shengtong, and said: "If the queen, noble lady, or beauty wants to learn it, it is my duty to do so."
After hearing this, Yin Lihua's heart suddenly moved. Every time she went on an expedition with His Majesty, she was just a burden. Especially last time when she went to Liqiu, she met an assassin halfway. In order to save her, both His Majesty and Long Yuan were injured. This made Yin Lihua
Lihua felt that she was useless. It would be good if she could learn strong swordsmanship.
Thinking of this, she was about to speak when Xu Xiling blinked at her and said first, "Yin Guiren should rest well now. If the fetus is induced, both Yin Guiren and the baby in her belly will be in danger."
Xu Xiling didn't know what Guo Shengtong had in mind, but based on her understanding of Guo Shengtong, she must not be hiding her good intentions when showing courtesy for nothing.
After hearing her words, Yin Lihua, who was already a little moved, immediately swallowed the words that were on her lips, smiled at Xu Xiling, and said, "That's right, Beauty Xu!"
Seeing this, Guo Shengtong frowned secretly and glanced at Xu Xiling without leaving any trace. His eyes were as if they were quenched with poison, and he wanted to poke two holes in Xu Xiling's body. Xi Cheying rolled his eyes at Xu Xiling happily and said with a smile: "
Judging from what junior sister said, it’s too scary! In fact, after a woman is pregnant, proper exercise is still beneficial. As long as it is moderate and does not hurt the body, it will also be conducive to childbirth in the future. "
Xu Xiling turned to look at Xi Cheying. She didn't believe that the senior sister couldn't see Guo Shengtong's ulterior motives, but the senior sister still helped Guo Shengtong speak. I really didn't know what she was thinking.
She said sternly: "Yin Guiren, just walk outside more often. As for practicing swordsmanship, it's better to skip it. If you really get pregnant, your majesty will blame you. Who can bear it?"
After hearing her carry His Majesty out, Xi Cheying stopped talking and Guo Shengtong's expression became unnatural.
Yin Lihua saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward because of her relationship, so she said with a smile: "Queen, I am a little tired, so I will go back first."
Guo Shengtong didn't try to persuade her to stay. He nodded to Yin Lihua first, and then said to Wei Xun who was standing outside: "Captain Wei, please send noble Yin back to the palace on my behalf."
"I obey the order!" Wei Xun couldn't hide the joy on his face and hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Yin Lihua couldn't refuse, so she didn't say anything. She stood up and walked out of the pavilion. Wei Xun bowed slightly and waited for Yin Lihua to pass in front of him before taking steps to follow her.
Xu Xiling and Xi Cheying also stood up to say goodbye. After receiving Guo Shengtong's approval, the two women also left the pavilion. When they walked some distance away, Guo Shengtong, who was sitting in the pavilion, suddenly called out: "Xi Beauty!"
Hearing this, Xi Cheying retreated to the pavilion, saluted Guo Shengtong, and said, "Queen."
"You are a smart person, at least, much smarter than your junior sister! I like to make friends with smart people. From now on, you can come to Changqiu Palace often."
"Thank you so much, Queen!" Xi Cheying saluted Guo Shengtong again, and then walked out.
After leaving the Changqiu Palace, she looked up and saw Xu Xiling waiting for her at the door. She stepped forward and said with a smile: "Junior Sister!"
Xu Xiling looked at her with an unkind expression, and said in a deep voice as he walked forward: "It's all right. The queen found Wei Xun and asked him to dance the sword. She also recommended him to Yin Guiren intentionally or unintentionally, and asked him to teach Yin Guiren swordsmanship. Could it be that,
Senior sister, can’t you see the Queen’s ulterior motives?”
Xi Cheying had a confused look on his face, and asked, "Junior sister, what do you think the queen is thinking?"
Xu Xiling snorted heavily and said: "This Wei Xun is so cowardly that even the emperor and his concubines dare to look directly at him. If Yin Guiren is really allowed to learn swordsmanship from him, there's no telling what he will do!"
"Isn't this bad?" Xi Cheying laughed.
Xu Xiling looked at her in surprise. Xi Cheying said: "In terms of status in this palace, you and I sisters are far inferior to the queen. When it comes to favor, you and I sisters are far inferior to Yin Guiren, a queen.
A noble person is like two mountains pressing down on us sisters. If we can move to one and destroy the other, why not?"
Xi Cheying knew what Guo Shengtong had planned. In her opinion, Guo Shengtong was really stupid. She brought Yin Lihua and Wei Xun together. If something happened between them, she thought
Can I get away with it? Can Your Majesty let her go?
Yin Lihua's reputation was ruined, and she, the queen, could not get better either. In this case, it was equivalent to the queen dragging the nobles to die together, and she and Xu Xiling could just sit back and watch and enjoy the consequences.
She said cheerfully: "Junior sister, it was really unnecessary just now. Wouldn't you like to see the results? You have wasted this good opportunity." As she spoke, she gave Xu Xiling a roll of her eyes with a smile.
Xu Xiling frowned. Now she finally understood why the senior sister helped the queen sideways.
She said meaningfully: "Senior sister, even if there are no Queen Guo and Guiren Yin in the palace, there will still be Queen Zhang, Guiren Li, Queen Wang, Guiren Zhao, and so on."
Xi Cheying shrugged disapprovingly and said: "Junior sister and I are different! Junior sister believes that destiny cannot be violated, but I believe that everything depends on man-made things."
"Sister..."
Xi Cheying stopped, raised his hand, gently stroked Xu Xiling's cheek, suppressed his smile, and said: "No matter when, I will never make things difficult for my junior sister, and I hope that my junior sister can be of the same mind as me."
Xu Xiling stared blankly at Xi Cheying, saying nothing for a while. Xi Cheying smiled leisurely, returned to a cheerful look, waved to Xu Xiling and said, "Okay, junior sister, I'm going back to the palace."
Looking at Xi Cheying's leaving figure, Xu Xiling took a long time before sighing softly, shaking his head helplessly, and returned to the Phoenix Palace with his four personal maids.
Yin Lihua returned to the West Palace, followed by three maids: Xueying, Hongjian, and Li Xiu'e. Wei Xun walked quickly to Yin Lihua's side and glanced at her cautiously.
Even though he could only see the profile of his face, he was still extremely beautiful. He cleared his throat and said, "Yin Guiren has also learned swordsmanship before, right?"
Yin Lihua didn't have much feeling for this Wei Xun. He was just a minister of her husband, but relatively speaking, he was a minister with a special status and an important one.
She said calmly: "I have learned some in the past, but they were all just showy."
Wei Xun's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "If Lord Yin is interested, Wei Chen has here some formulas for Qi training and sword training manuals, which can be given to you!"
Yin Lihua smiled calmly and said: "No need, I can't accept such an expensive gift from Colonel Wei."
"It's not expensive, it's not valuable. As long as the noble person likes it, all the humble ministers can be given to the noble person." As he spoke, he turned to look at Yin Lihua, and his eyes almost flew out of his sockets.
Before Yin Lihua could speak, Li Xiu'e scolded dissatisfiedly: "What are you looking at!"
Wei Xun was shaken, and he quickly looked away, bowed to Yin Lihua, and said, "I am rude to you. Please don't blame me."
Even though Yin Lihua felt unhappy, she still couldn't help but be unfaithful towards Kai Xun.
Wei Xun is the eldest son of Kai Xiao, and the importance of Wei Xiao to the Luoyang court is self-evident. This involves national policy, which is not something she, a concubine in the harem, can interfere with.
She smiled and said: "Colonel Wei, you're welcome. The West Palace is in front of you. Colonel Wei will send it to you!"
Changqiu Palace and West Palace are close to each other, one in the south and the other in the north.
It was a rare opportunity to be together with a stunning beauty. Of course, Wei Xun didn't want to leave so soon. He smiled and said, "The queen asked Wei Chen to take the noble lady back to the West Palace, but Wei Chen must be sent there."
Li Xiu'e said with a sullen face: "Your Majesty asked you to be sent here, so where did all this nonsense come from?!" As she spoke, she took two steps ahead and stood in front of Wei Xun, blocking his way.
Wei Xun could not get around Li Xiu'e, so he could only watch helplessly as Yin Lihua walked further and further away, and finally disappeared into the gate of the West Palace. Looking back, he saw that Yin Lihua had entered the West Palace. Li Xiu'e gave Wei Xun a hard look and whispered
He warned: "Kui Xun, please remember clearly, the noble is not someone you can dream of coveting. If you dare to do anything to the noble, I will not let you go!"
After she finished speaking, she bared her teeth at Wei Xun, showing a fierce warning expression, and then turned and left.
Wei Xun didn't look at Li Xiu'e at all, nor did he hear her warning. At this time, his entire mind had already flown to the West Palace.
After Liu Xiu, Deng Yu, Jia Fu and others finished discussing government affairs, it was already afternoon, and he finished reviewing the remaining memorials before getting up and walking out.
After leaving the main hall, Zhang Kun immediately came forward to greet him. Liu Xiu asked: "Is the tea party at the Queen's side over?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"How's it going?"
"It is said that the queen, the nobles, and the beauties were chatting and laughing, and even invited Wei Xun to perform a sword dance to add to the fun!"
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled leisurely and said, "Zitong will enjoy it. No matter what you say, Wei Xun is still the dignified eldest son of Lianghou!"
It's so embarrassing.
Having said that, the smile on Liu Xiu's face actually deepened a bit, and he was obviously very satisfied with Guo Shengtong's arrangement.
Wei Xiao's disobedience was clearly revealed, and he sent his son to Luoyang to be a hostage. His purpose was just to stabilize himself.
Regarding Wei Xun, if Liu Xiu humiliated him, it would indeed be bullying the small, and it would also show that he was too narrow-minded. However, his own queen humiliated him, which made Liu Xiu quite happy.
