Chapter 106 Sometimes I'm Too Rational
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Kangxi sat at the top, looking at the officials on the left from time to time.
The princes sit on the right.
Fourth Master was wearing a dark blue official robe and sat under Third Master.
At this time, the dancers in the center of the hall, not afraid of the severe cold, danced in cool costumes.
Under the melody of the musician, all of them danced gracefully like wicker.
There is also a professional frown and smile on the face, charming and charming.
The third master is simple, with a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, without blinking, full of appreciation.
Even the corners of his mouth had an affectionate smile.
From time to time, he would tilt his head and discuss with the fourth master: "Fourth brother, these girls look simple and innocent, and they are quite exciting when they dance."
Because it is a group of dancers presented by King Yunan.
Out of politeness, fourth master looked openly at the dancer in front of him.
Then he glanced at the third master from the corner of his eye, and said calmly: "Third brother's words are wrong, if you are really simple, you won't know how to dance."
"Fourth brother, you, you, sometimes you are too rational. I was just talking about girls with you. Where are you going?" The third master shook his head, feeling that the fourth master was puzzled.
The fourth master raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "It's the third brother who is too sentimental. To be honest, girls, the Manchu girls in our country are bold and majestic. They can gallop on horseback and hunt wantonly. Han girls are petite and affectionate, especially They are from the Jiangnan generation, gentle and delicate, like these dancers, I guess the third brother has already experienced it."
The reputation of the third master reading countless daughters has long been spread among elder brothers.
Even the courtiers know a thing or two.
Some people sneered at it, some people envied it.
As for the fourth master, he was pure and didn't like Yu Nanwang's style.
Every year, I go through the motions here, offering some worthless things, and saying some insincere words.
It is also known as a national treasure, so it is good to get some valuable and rare rich rewards here.
"It's different. Every country has its own characteristics. I heard that Yu Nanguo has mountains, waters, and forests, and the girls are more beautiful." The third master said and turned to look at the fourth master, "Fourth brother, for Woman, you are so stubborn, I am really curious, brother, what kind of woman can be in your eyes?"
He was really just speaking from the eyes of countless women, in all fairness.
"Which place has mountains, rivers, and forests?" The fourth master was asked by the third master, and ended the topic neatly: "There are many people around, and we represent not only ourselves, but also the spiritual outlook of a country. Third master Brother, keep your mouth shut."
After finishing speaking, he sat upright, with a serious expression on his face.
It's just that in his mind, a beautiful face appeared unconsciously.
It seems that his Fujin not only has the atmosphere of being full of people, but also has the beauty of Jiangnan women, and always has a sense of water and spirit.
She is a woman who combines grandeur and femininity.
Seeing that fourth master was not happy, the third master was startled for a while, and then he didn't talk much.
After all, Kangxi usually hated him for not being full of manners.
At this time, he should take it easy.
After a while, the dancers stepped aside.
King Yu Nan stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, I specially invited hundreds of national envoys to meet with me this time, and brought a bronze drum of national treasure level to present to the Emperor. It was made by our nation, the top craftsman team, It was specially built for the emperor."
"Oh? Why did you present the bronze drum to me?" Kangxi looked at the bronze drum carved with complicated patterns in the hall, and asked with raised eyebrows.
"Back to the emperor, for the nation of the ministers, the drum can inspire people's hearts and morale, and it is also a traditional cultural relic art. This kind of cultural relic with faith can only be controlled by the emperor. I hope it can inspire the emperor's courtiers on the battlefield. We have won many battles and victories, and I hope he can promote the common progress of the nation." Yunan Wang bragged happily.
After all, the last sentence is what I really want to say.
After Yu Nanwang finished speaking, someone came forward carrying dozens of boxes.
After opening, most of them are copper products.
It is mixed with a little jade ornaments.
There are also pearl-style jewellery.
"Your Majesty, these are also the tributes we specially selected for the Emperor, including the dancer just now, which is also included in the gift list. Please accept it with a smile." King Yu Nan put his hand on his chest and said respectfully.
Kangxi's sharp eyes scanned King Yu Nan and the envoys of Yu Nanguo with incomparable majesty.
A few seconds later, he suddenly smiled and said, "You bring envoys to pay tribute every year, so you have a heart."
Hearing this, King Yu Nan's hand was still on his chest, and he was still saying something that was not uncommon: "Without the emperor's protection, there would be no us Yu Nan Kingdom. In the whole world, everything is like dust. Only you, will always be yours!" In the hearts of our people, the most supreme king."
As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed, and made a poisonous oath: "The loyalty of the minister to the emperor is witnessed by the heaven and the earth, and the sun and the moon can learn from it. If it violates loyalty, thunder will roll in the sky, and lightning and flint will rise!"
A word, although said every year.
But also called Kangxi, as well as ministers and princes, they are quite confident in their hearts.
Fourth Master looked at this scene indifferently, the bulging drum looked like a big copper vat, and it could be said to be controlled.
The third master even leaned into the fourth master's ear in a low voice: "The one who can talk about a drum in such a fresh and refined way, and at the same time, is King Yu Nan."
The corner of fourth master's mouth curled into a lazy smile, which was a response.
Immediately afterwards, Kangxi smiled arrogantly, and said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "King Yu Nan, get up quickly, I feel your heart. Besides, it is not easy for you to come here, so I will visit here for a while before going back !"
"Yes, I thank the emperor for your kindness." Yu Nanwang said gratefully.
It is rare for the county king and envoys of the foreign feudal clan to come here. Naturally, the singing and dancing were performed until dusk, and then gradually the audience left.
And at the end of the show, there was a dancer, who was pretty good-looking, and was summoned by Kangxi on the spot.
I don't know if it's just for fun, or if I'm interested.
This caused many princes to feel dissatisfied.
Fourth master was indifferent the whole time.
After leaving the palace, he looked at the darkened sky, boarded the carriage, and said in a cold voice, "Go home!"
After the coachman agreed, he landed conveniently and drove the carriage.
It was nearly seven o'clock when we returned to the mansion.
When they arrived at the front yard, the maids and eunuchs went up to change and wash fourth master.
He Zhongkang stepped forward with a smile and said, "Fourth Master, Fujin has prepared a table of New Year's Eve dinner in the main courtyard, just waiting for you."
Fourth master's eyes turned slightly, and he gave a faint "um".
After changing into his robe, he took his servants to the main courtyard.
"Fourth Master is here!" Su Peisheng sang the newspaper shrilly.
"Fourth Lord is auspicious." Ruoyin and the others saluted one after another.
Fourth master strode up to Ruoyin, helped her up, and said in a rare and easy-going way: "Tonight's eve, everyone is here to reunite, don't be restrained."
