Emperor Chu's sword dance was over. Little Chu Chen looked at him with stars in his eyes. He worshiped Emperor Chu as a god and said in a sweet voice, "Father is so powerful. His spear and dance skills are so good. Chen'er wants to learn!"
"Chen'er, your father has so many things to do, how can he have time to teach you how to practice a gun?"
Hear the sound.
Emperor Chu put the cold spear into the dragon ring, waved his hand towards Nangong Xi and said: "Xi'er, Chen'er wants to learn marksmanship. As his father, even if he is busy, he can spare time to accompany him."
"Don't worry, Chen'er. My father will not only teach you marksmanship, but also hammer skills. When you have free time, father will take you to see another type of gun."
Another type of gun mentioned by Emperor Chu is, of course, the latest flintlock gun manufactured by the Academy of Sciences. As the largest prince of the Chu Kingdom, Chu Chen will be the first to face the empire in the future. Let him be exposed to more new things, which can also be regarded as laying a solid foundation for the future.
Base.
It was cold and snowy outside the palace. Emperor Chu signaled his beloved concubines to enter the Ningxiang Palace. He held Chu Chen and Chu Yan with his left and right hands respectively and sat down at the top.
All the girls sat close to Emperor Chu so that they could serve Emperor Chu when the palace banquet began on New Year's Eve. Of course, they also had the intention of attracting His Majesty's attention.
However, when Chu Chen and Chu Yan were sitting on both sides of Emperor Chu, the girls took their seats one after another, and it was not easy to compete with the two children.
After the ladies were seated, Emperor Chu asked Xiao Guizi to inform the imperial kitchen that the New Year's Eve banquet was about to begin and asked them to bring the delicious food.
Xiao Guizi followed the order and exited Ningxiang Palace. Nangong Xi looked sideways at Emperor Chu and said, "Your Majesty, what kind of spear was that dancing in the courtyard just now?"
"It seems simple and plain, flowing and flowing, and does not seem to have any murderous intention, but in fact, it hides murderous intentions and is closely linked. Once it is shrouded in the light of the gun, there will be no chance of survival."
"I didn't expect Xi'er to have such a high attainment in marksmanship and to be able to see the secrets of 'Tai Chi marksmanship'. She is indeed my queen, as meticulous as hair and good at observation and deliberation."
"Tai Chi marksmanship?"
Nangong Xi murmured to herself, seeming to understand. Although she could spy on the door, she didn't know that Emperor Chu's Tai Chi gun technique contained Yin and Yang. It seemed to have no lethality, but with one shot, Yin and Yang could change life and death.
Make a judgment.
And Emperor Chu had already cultivated the Tai Chi marksmanship to a state of great success, where he could achieve the state of using intention without exerting force, "acting with the heart", following the movement of the mind, and "conducting the body with the mind". Everything should be allowed to take its course and follow the laws of movement and stillness.
The gun moves the dragon.
Void within emptiness, yin movement changes, yang movement changes, reality within reality, murderous intent blooms, and can kill people invisibly.
"Xi'er, I have the Tai Chi Spear Technique, which also includes Tai Chi Sword Technique. I will teach you this sword technique in a while."
Emperor Chu was well aware of the power of Tai Chi swordsmanship, and teaching it to his beloved concubines would give them more power to protect themselves. Chu's potential opponents were getting stronger and stronger, and he could not protect his daughters all the time.
As soon as they heard that Emperor Chu was going to teach them the Tai Chi sword technique, all the girls bowed and saluted, thanking Emperor Chu for his grace. At this moment, Xiao Guizi, along with the cook and the chamberlain, had delivered the New Year's Eve dinner.
The first appetizer arrived, Emperor Chu made eight dishes of cold dishes for the girls. The dishes were placed on the desks. The girls' eyes were shining, and they were completely attracted by the delicious food.
Then the hot dishes came one after another, and Emperor Chu attached perfect meanings to each dish, including good luck, plenty every year, a house full of gold and jade, etc.
Of course, hot pot is indispensable for all the girls. No matter how many preparations are made for the New Year’s Eve dinner, hot pot is a must. The celebration is booming.
Looking at the dazzling array of delicious food in front of them, everyone smiled like flowers and were surrounded by happiness for a while. Since the beginning of winter, Emperor Chu has been staying in the capital. First there were stoves and fire pits, followed by ice cream, yogurt, and fireworks, almost every once in a while.
surprise.
In addition, Emperor Chu would never favor one over the other, and treated all the women equally and never treated them differently, which made all the women bathed in happiness.
Especially for the New Year's Eve dinner, Emperor Chu, as the king of a country, cooked the food himself. Many of his ideas and methods puzzled the girls.
Looking at the entire war continent, the emperors of various countries regarded women as just accessories, perhaps items in exchange for their interests, but Emperor Chu made the women feel the dignity of freedom and independent women.
Emperor Chu felt the tender eyes of the girls and chuckled softly, saying: "Xi'er, go and take out the good wine I asked you to collect. All my beloved concubines will have a drink with me tonight!"
Hear the sound.
Nangong Xi stood up and left in person. The good wine that Emperor Chu asked her to keep had always been treated as a treasure, and she was the only one who knew where to put it.
In fact, the good wines that Emperor Chu asked Nangong Xi to collect were Maotai and Wuliangye as rewards in the system supermarket. The quantities were small, so even Emperor Chu regarded them as treasures.
Nowadays, the wine first developed by Chu State has already been sold well, but it is still far different from Moutai and Wuliangye. After all, industrial methods are incomparable.
Otherwise, Li Yuanba and Li Jing would not regard Erguotou and Jiang Xiaobai as gifts from Emperor Chu as rare treasures. If they knew that Emperor Chu had Maotai and Wuliangye, they would probably keep them in the imperial study.
.
A little while.
Nangong Xi brought a bottle each of Maotai and Wuliangye forward, handed it to Xiao Guizi and told him to open it. After sitting down, Emperor Chu asked the girls to start using their chopsticks.
The girls were already salivating. Chu Chen and Chu Yan had already begun to eat secretly. At this time, the two of them were just like little tabby cats, their mouths full of grease.
The New Year's Eve dinner began, and the girls were immersed in the joy of delicious food. All the food on the wooden table was something they had never tasted before, such as the sweet and sour fish, the sweet and intoxicating eight-treasure rice, and the spicy hot pot.
It really whets your appetite and makes you salivate.
At this moment, Xiao Guizi ordered his maid to start pouring wine for Emperor Chu and the empresses. The crystal clear Maotai entered the wine glass, and the aroma of the wine instantly filled the air.
The mellow aroma is outstanding and intoxicating. Even if you don't drink it with the cup open, the aroma is fragrant and fills your mouth with fragrance.
Emperor Chu raised his glass and signaled the girls to drink together. He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. The wine was elegant and delicate, full-bodied and mellow, with a long aftertaste, mellow and fragrant.
"Ahem~"
"Ahem~"
After a glass of Maotai wine was poured into the mouth, three of the girls, Zhao Feiyan, Zhao Hede, and Daji, coughed lightly one after another. Although the wine was good, it was a little too strong compared to the wine in War Continent.
There was no way, the three women had just entered the Chu Kingdom not long ago and had few opportunities to drink. They didn't know that Nangong Xi, Diao Chan, Lin Yun and others were in charge of the entire Chu Kingdom's drinks.
"Feiyan, Daji, Hede, drink this wine slowly to feel the beauty!"
Emperor Chu saw that the three women's cheeks were flushed with fragrance, so he put down his wine glass and warned him. At this time, Nangong Xi had already signaled Xiao Guizi and the chef to step back, and the women would take over the task of pouring the wine.
"Your Majesty, this wine is really a dew and nectar. It has a mellow taste in the mouth, as if it is rolling in the mouth. The aroma enters the nose and sublimates to the top of the heart. At the same time, there is no burning sensation like a line of fire. The feeling of rolling into the stomach is incomparable.
, indescribable. It's like a firework blooming in your body, gorgeous and dazzling, but it will not burn you or hurt you.
It’s really fragrant!
Nangong Xi's description is indeed very accurate. It seems that she also has a deep research on wine. It is also the second time for Emperor Chu to drink Moutai, because he was lucky enough to drink it once before traveling through time.
The feeling at that time was exactly the same as what Nangong Xi said. Now, he was just as intoxicated. It was still the original recipe and the familiar taste.
