23 silk moving purple emperor

Chapter 1

It was a once-a-year feast, and there was always less show and less excitement in the palace. It was only held on the seventh day of February every year.

——Hou Ye's birthday

All the dignified figures in the Daguangming Palace should congratulate Lord Hou together. There are eight generals under the command of Lord Hou, who are divided into eight halls inside and outside. They are Mei Ziyang from the Golden Horse Hall, Zhao Hangtai from the Silver Knife Hall, Sima Liuyun from the Shark Bead Hall, and Ruyi from the Qiongwang Hall. The people came back.To congratulate Lord Hou on his birthday also meant to report on his duties by the way.

And the Neitang generals who were still outside the mission even rushed back early. Although the four Neitang generals are always by Hou Ye's side, Hou Ye seldom cares about their own affairs all year round. Maybe you know it Also pretend not to know.That is to say, at this grand banquet, there are some things that should be said and should be reported, or ask Lord Hou for instructions, or simply finish talking.

And the chief executive who is under one person in the palace and above everyone is even more duty-bound. He is almost in charge of this celebration. Since February, he has been busy. Fortunately, the four sons under him are all extremely capable people. , but not flustered.

These four sons - Wuli, Wuyou, Enthusiasm, and Wuzheng were brought together by the chief executive. They have special identities. Si, not counting people in the palace, even the generals are very polite to them.

From the beginning of March to the end of the month, the palace is very lively.

The palace is full of flowers, decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there are a variety of congratulatory gifts. The dishes are invited by the owner of Qizhenlou with a few proud apprentices to cook the spoons himself. , the entrance is soft and sweet, and it has its own unique clean air.

When the wine jar was opened, everyone praised it.

General Yubei not only presented the fine wine to Lord Hou for the banquet in the palace, the other generals also sent four altars to each other, which was very thoughtful.

It's snowing...

Wuyou remembers clearly, crystal clear fine porcelain?It has a faint fragrance when you pat it on, with a clean air that other types of wine do not have.The wine is also pure and transparent, without a trace of color.

That night, Mei Ziyang even drank Tian Yexue.

The palace was extremely lively that night, and the generals were half drunk, especially the generals in the inner hall. It's like getting Master Hou drunk.

Among the four generals in the inner hall, Sima Liuyun, the Jiaozhu general, hardly lay down on Lord Hou and poured wine, he looked like a child.

It was the Golden Horse General Mei Ziyang who led the trouble.

At this time, it seems that it is right for him to lead everything. He is the number one in the inner hall, and the others are "brothers". When the manager was very casual, Mei Ziyang naturally couldn't stand aside in a serious manner.

Participate in it and immediately become the protagonist and center of the excitement, this is Mei Ziyang.

There was never a time and place where Mei Ziyang got it wrong, and there was never a time when he was inappropriate.

That kind of airtight, watertight and exquisite.

When it is time to be serious, it is the dignified and majestic General Jinma, when it is time to be relaxed, it is the smiling and casual Xiao Zi, when it is time to be considerate, it is the gentle and warm Mei Ziyang, when it is time to be rebuked, it is Stern big brother.

The people in the palace seemed to be used to this kind of Mei Ziyang, they couldn't find any mistakes at any time, they would appear naturally when they should appear, just like today's occasions, everyone habitually let him lead the trouble.

Worry-free smile, if today Mei Ziyang suddenly lost his mind, forgot what to do, just stood aside and watched, all the generals might be at a loss and don't know what to do for a while.

Lord Hou, this scene is about to become deserted.

He is really indispensable in this palace.

Wuyou thought about that scene, and the more he thought about it, the more funny it became, but he couldn't laugh out loud on the spot, so he had to pour wine to suppress the smile.

Just as the empty wine glass was put back on the table, a hand stretched out from behind to remove the wine glass. The side maid put a cup of warm lily and white fungus soup on the tray and handed it to him, and said softly: "This wine has a strong aftertaste, you are not very good at drinking, so don't drink too much."

Wuyou picked it up, looking at the slightly raised corner of his clothes when he turned around.

How did he see such a quiet corner in such a lively and bustling place?

Such impeccable thoughtfulness...

It's really scary.

The chief manager also drank a lot, but he still cared about Lord Hou not to drink too much. Sima Liuyun walked around the two of them and ate countless tofu from them. Zhao Hangtian leaned on a pillar on one side, lazily Laughing, but the wine is unambiguous, Jun Ruyi is the one who concentrates most on drinking, one cup after another, he is supposed to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but Yexue seems to be just right for his appetite this day.

See worry-free smile deeper.

Hey, why is Mei Ziyang missing?Does he have time to hide?

But he didn't see him, naturally there was a reason for him not seeing him, and it must be incomparably correct.

Wuyou slowly drank the lily and white fungus soup in the pastel fine porcelain pomegranate cup in his hand. It was sweet and smooth, and it was really suitable for drinking after drinking.

He drank half of the cup and put it back on the table, just as he saw Wuli finally stepped forward to block the wine for the chief executive, several generals from the outer hall happened to see the timing and surrounded him.

Is this called sinking deeper and deeper?

Wuyou saw that Wuli was surrounded and was searching down, obviously looking for help, so he changed his mind and walked quietly to the door.

He managed to get out of the encirclement smoothly, but with a last glance, he happened to see Wuxin being pulled over by Wuli.

But, poor Wuxin, who is obviously not good at drinking, will undoubtedly be drunk today.

In fact, it’s good to be drunk, at least for one night, you can let go of those entangled thoughts, let go of some depression that has been entangled for too long, and maybe sink into a dream while drunk, which is something that may never see the light of day. A dream, even in a dream, a dream that I dare not admit.

In Tian Yexue's gentle intoxication, maybe he can see clearly.

Worry-free shook his head slightly, and walked gently into the backyard.

It's early spring, and the unbearably chilly spring is just right for the slightly hot face caused by alcohol, bringing a comfortable coolness. Dozens of white Changlan plants are in full bloom in the yard, and one tree after another is in full bloom.

Wuyou saw that the person sitting by the small stone table under the tree was reaching out to pick up a purple jade grape that was transported by horses from other places on the emerald plate on the table. His slender and graceful fingers were on the purple jade grape, as if Jade is gentle.

It was the rarest color of brocade jade after being warmed, with a faint glow.

The man picked up a grape and was about to bid farewell to his mouth when he seemed to hear the movement, turned his head around, and smiled when he saw Wuyou.

The bright and pure smile like a child reaches directly to the bottom of the eyes, shining brightly.

Even priceless jewels can hardly match the light, so bright.

Wuyou was slightly taken aback, walked over, and sat opposite Mei Ziyang.

Mei Ziyang smiled and handed him the grapes in his hand.

Wuyou stretched out his hand to pick it up, Mei Ziyang's smile showed a bit of childlike naughtiness, he didn't give it to him, but delivered it directly to his mouth.

Wuyou blinked, and opened her lips involuntarily.

Mei Ziyang put the grape into his mouth, and stuffed it in with a little force.

His fingertips scratched his lips, itching a little.

It was an adult's hand, it was Mei Ziyang's hand, it was the hand of Mei Ziyang who was impeccable, long-sleeved and good at dancing, exquisite in all aspects, and never made a mistake.

But what Wuyou did with this hand was something Wuyou had never thought of before, with a childlike smile and childlike actions.

he's drunk.

There is only such a possibility, and Wuyou can only draw such a conclusion.

Layers of shells were peeled off by alcohol, leaving only bright and pure smiles, naughty but lovable actions.

Wuyou held the grape in her mouth and forgot to move.

Mei Ziyang didn't care about him, and just ate grapes one by one, feeling satisfied and smiling every time he ate.

Mei Ziyang's world was left behind in the hall, and in this quiet courtyard full of magnolias, there was only a contented and careless Mei Ziyang.

Wuyou felt a little dizzy, maybe this wine really has a lot of stamina.

Master Hou's birthday has passed, and the busiest month in the palace has passed, and the calm and busy calm of the past has begun here again.

Hou Ye went out for some reason, except for the chief executive and the leader of Hou Ye's bodyguard Sui Qingfeng, no one knew where Hou Ye had gone, and when Hou Ye was not around, the generals in the inner court all went back to their mansion , the palace was exceptionally deserted.

Wuyou is still by the Chief Manager's side, doing his own thing.

Wuli has also traveled far away, Wuxin doesn't like to talk, Wuzheng lives and recuperates from injuries, the palace is really very quiet.

It's just that urgent mails from all over the world are flying in like snowflakes, and there is no time for leisure.

The head manager smiled at Xin Xin, "Xiao Zi is here to ask for credit again."

Wuyou heard it on the side, and stretched out his hand to read it. It was Mei Ziyang's handwriting, and he was familiar with the eight-point grass Erwang Xiaokai.

He listened to Bie Wuxin and said: "General Jinmatang has done a good job in this matter, who would not take credit for it?"

Wuyouben didn't care about the paperwork, so he didn't quite understand this matter. He looked up at Wuxin, and Wuxin smiled and said, "General Jinmatang instigated the eldest disciple of the head of Kunlun, and took the head of the Kunlun. Naturally, he joined the alliance, and by the way Taking the wealth of Kunlun Xueye’s old ginseng into his hands, and the ginsengers there also pay hundreds of thousands of silver a year, such a good thing is of course worth mentioning.”

Wu Zhou understood and nodded.

The chief manager laughed: "Speaking of which, Xiao Zi is really impeccable in her work, but it's a pity..."

He didn't go on, but Wuyou understood the meaning behind the words, but it's a pity that Mei Ziyang has high ambitions and is difficult to control, and now he can't find the most effective means of control.

Hou Ye once said: "When you can afford him, you will use him. When you can't use him, you will make plans."

No one shuddered when they heard these words.

Suspicion is so deep, it is not the blessing of Lord Hou.

Wu Xin said again: "Along with this letter came a message from General Jin Ma Tang, asking where Lord Hou has gone."

The Chief Manager smiled: "You just answer him and say you don't know."

Nod indifferently.

Chief Constable: "For the past two years, I've been thinking that you guys can't help Xiaozi, but I've been hesitating, wondering if I should or not."

Worry-free and silent, what does the chief executive's hesitation mean?

He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to figure it out.

Inadvertently do not speak.

The chief manager smiled and said, "I'm at ease with you guys, I've been with you all the time, and I don't have to report to the Marquis when I send you there. I hesitate because I don't know what Mei Ziyang will think."

Wuyou thought for a while, and said: "If the young master thinks it is necessary, Wuyou will convince General Jinmatang."

This is an automatic request.

There was a gleam in the chief executive's eyes: "Are you willing to go?"

Wuyou smiled and said: "If you can relieve the young master's worries, how can anyone be willing?"

The chief manager smiled: "You guys are all good, so it's my luck. Since you are willing to go, you can go in two days. Whatever you want, you can take it yourself. The messenger owl will take the little one. .”

Take command without worry.

In a blink of an eye, Wu Xin looked at him, frowning slightly, and the expression in those eyes was hard to fathom.

Wuyou avoided his eyes, turned his head away, and listened attentively to the chief manager's arrangement.

The big alliance established by Mei Ziyang has more and more members, and the affairs are getting more and more busy. Only Mei Ziyang and his group of people are indeed very busy. Mei Ziyang also said several times that he needs to increase the number of people.

It's just that the people in the palace are not sent, but the people around the chief executive, who are not part of the palace management, are sent, which is indeed a bit strange.However, the chief executive seemed to have other considerations, not only sending people around him, but also skipping Lord Hou, which was even more strange.Wuyou exited from the study and went back to his own room. As soon as he walked to the small veranda, he heard the sound of slightly quicker footsteps behind him, very light, and he didn't need to turn his head to know that Wuxin had caught up.

Counting that they have lived together for many years, anyone's footsteps can be heard clearly.

Worry-free stopped and turned to look at him.Wuxin still frowned slightly, as if the frown hadn't been stretched before.

Wuxin walked up to him and said, "Why are you going?"

Wuyou smiled and said: "The young master said that just because he wants someone to take the initiative to ask for his life. If you don't want to go, I naturally have to say it. He has never revealed this at all. Why is it that the two of us are here today?" Did you say it suddenly? Didn’t you just want us to go.”

Wuxin frowned even tighter: "You don't have to say anything, let's just get along."

Worry-free smiled, stretched out his hand to caress Wuxin's eyebrows: "Don't wrinkle, it's not good-looking——since the young master has that intention, can you still hide? Think about what the young master has done over the years. What's a success? It's better for me to go to the end than you to go."

Wuxin pulled his hand down, but didn't let go, just held it in his hand, and stretched his eyebrows reluctantly: "Go and compare with me, isn't it the same?"

Wuyou has always felt that although Wuxin is the same age as him, he is always like a younger brother. He usually looks gentle and stable, and he is quite calm, but when he is in a hurry, he looks like a child. exposed.

He laughed and said, "On weekdays, I have more contact with several generals, so I naturally want to know more."

Wu Xin grabbed his hand and said flatly: "I don't understand why the young master is so guarded against Mei Ziyang, especially when the waiting master is not around, he is extremely guarded against Mei Ziyang's every move."

Wuyou patted his hand: "Not only we don't understand this, but maybe Master Hou didn't understand either. Once I heard Master Hou persuade him that Mei Ziyang is very capable, and there are indeed some things that he didn't report, but those are not What a big deal, he is a general after all, and he should handle some things by himself. But the young master is very stubborn about this matter, so it doesn't matter if the waiting master says it."

Wu Xin nodded: "I don't think Master Hou is particularly suspicious of Mei Ziyang, but the young master is always nervous, no wonder he wants us to go together this time, probably because he doesn't want to argue with Master Hou."

Fuai smiled and said: "We have been with the young master since we were young, and we are all his. What can we not do? Since the marquis is not very jealous of Mei Ziyang, then the danger of this trip is limited, so don't be nervous. .”

Wuxin tilted his head and thought for a while, finally reluctantly nodded.

But probably still not very happy, when he set off worry-free two days later, his face was stern, without a smile at all, and he was sent away for a long time before he was willing to go back.

Wuyou smiles, with Wuxin's temperament, she will probably find it awkward when she goes back, the young master may just have to coax her.

Speaking of it, it's a fortune teller. With such a master, he has a good temper, and he is indulgent to them, and he protects his weaknesses. He doesn't suffer much. Sometimes he vents his anger a little, but the young master still laughs and coaxes them. Although what I often do is life-like deeds, I don't feel wronged when I think about it.

Wuyou thought about some irrelevant past events along the way, as if he was using this to suppress his slight excitement and nervousness, and he arrived in Jincheng in just one day.

The residences of the four generals in the inner hall are not far from the palace, which is also convenient for the Hou Ye to call someone urgently if there is an emergency.It's just scattered in different directions.

If there is something urgent, it will take about three hours to arrive quickly.

Set off worry-free in the morning and arrive at Jincheng at dusk.

Mei Mansion is the tallest and grandest mansion in Jincheng, the gate is already open at this time, Wuyou knows that Mei Ziyang should have received the report when he first entered Jincheng, and is standing at the door waiting for him.

Wuyou got off the carriage, although he had martial arts, Mei Ziyang personally stepped forward to help him, his hand was warm and delicate, holding Wuyou's hand was very comfortable, he smiled and said: "Young Master Wuyou, the journey has been hard. "

A very good host.

Wuyou replied: "Where is it, it's not too far away."

Mei Ziyang led him in, and the door closed behind him.
