Chapter 737 Tengu Swallowing the Sun
Concubine Li was blessed.
"My concubine greets the noble concubine."
Xiao Xixi smiled and let her sit.
Su Cairen took the initiative to move his position down, giving up the position close to the main seat.
Concubine Li was not polite, she walked over and sat down there.
Immediately a maid served refreshments.
Concubine Li saw the variety of pastries with exquisite workmanship in front of her, and the smile on her face suddenly became a bit more real.
She picked up a piece of almond ricotta without hesitation and took a bite. It was fragrant and sweet, with a strong milky taste.
She couldn't help but eat another piece.
Concubine Jing covered her lips and smiled.
"Sister Li Fei's appetite is still so good."
Concubine Li finished eating the almond custard in her hand and drank the scented tea, and then said slowly.
"If you want to ridicule me for being fat, just say it directly. There's no need to be so circumstantial."
Concubine Jing still smiled: "Why do you think so? I just want to remind you that eating too many sweets is not good for your health."
Concubine Li: "Thank you for your reminder. I think I'm doing fine now. I have food, drink, and people to serve me every day. It's not a comfortable life."
Concubine Jing shook her head helplessly, as if she couldn't do anything about her.
"You are so unmotivated, what will you do in the future?"
Shao Liangren said softly: "It's better for people to be better."
She looked at the imperial concubine who was sitting on top.
"Princess Concubine, do you think so?"
Xiao Xixi nodded and said seriously: "Yes, if people don't know how to make progress, what's the difference between being carefree?"
Concubine Jing: "..."
Shao Liangren: "..."
Concubine Li: "..."
Even Su Cairen, who had been lowering his head to adjust the pipa, couldn't help but raise his head to look at the concubine who looked up.
Concubine Jing tried her best to maintain a smile: "The imperial concubine is really good at joking."
Shao Liangren smiled cooperatively.
Xiao Xixi looked at Concubine Li with a very kind gaze.
"Are these pastries enough for you? If not, I'll ask someone to bring you some."
Concubine Li felt that the way she looked at her was weird, and she couldn't help but feel a little bit furious.
"No, no need."
Xiao Xixi said sincerely: "You don't have to be polite to Ben Gong, Ben Gong is actually very envious of you. Like these cakes, they only add up to a kilogram. If you eat them all, you will grow at least five kilograms of meat. Eating a pound is worth five pounds, what a bargain!"
Unlike her, no matter how much she eats, she doesn't grow meat, she eats it all for nothing.
Concubine Li: "..."
I suspect you are mocking me, although I have no proof.
Concubine Jing and Shao Liangren were also confused.
They really don't understand, the imperial concubine was talking for Li concubine just now, why did she turn around in a blink of an eye?
Where is the concubine?
At this time Baoqin led two dancers in.
The two dancers were slender, with high noses and deep eyes, and at first glance they were not Dasheng people.
After asking, I found out that they were Liao women.
Because the Liao Kingdom was conquered by the Sheng army and the Liao King surrendered, the Liao Kingdom has now become a vassal state of the Dasheng Dynasty, and every year it pays a large amount of gold, silver, cattle, horses and slaves to the Dasheng Dynasty.
And these two dancers were female slaves from the Liao Kingdom.
They knelt on the ground, respectfully speaking in big words with this slightly alien accent.
"The slaves and servants pay their respects to the noble concubine."
Xiao Xixi asked them to get up, and his eyes stayed on their faces for a moment, and unexpectedly found that the two men had a black evil spirit on their brows.
This is a typical short-lived phase.
It seemed that this dancer was about to die.
Before the two dancers came here, they already knew that they were here to accompany Su Cairen. After standing up, they looked at Su Cairen.
Su Cairen has properly adjusted the pipa.
She asked warmly, "What dance are you good at?"
The two dancers looked at each other, and the one in the pink and white dress replied.
"The slaves can do anything, it all depends on what the talented lady likes to play."
Su Cairen smiled: "Then "General's Order"."
Xiao Xixi was quite surprised.
She originally thought that Su Cairen would play "House of Flying Daggers", after all, this is a track that must appear in every romance, and every time this track appears, someone will definitely do something.
Su Cairen slender hands, plucked the strings, and the pipa sounded
The clanging sound suddenly sounded, like countless jade beads falling to the ground, crisp and sweet.
The two dancers were obviously very familiar with this tune, and immediately stretched out their postures and danced to the sound of the pipa.
Xiao Xixi listened carefully for a while, and the "General's Order" played by Su Cairen was almost the same as what she had heard in her previous life. Although this world was a dynasty she had never heard of before, the culture here has many places. What she is familiar with, such as words, and poetry and songs.
Because of the strong style of this song, the dancers' movements are also more forceful, and most of them are big movements that open and close.
In the middle of the song, the two dancers were already sweating a lot. The sweat soaked through the thin clothes, and the clothes were tightly attached to the skin, which outlined their body curves vividly.
Fragrant sweat is probably the case.
The skirt flutters, and the waist swings.
A tense and mysterious feeling pervaded.
Everyone could not take their eyes off it.
At this moment, the sky outside suddenly darkened!
It's still morning, how could the sky suddenly turn dark?
Someone shouted outside.
"It's a tengu swallowing the sun! It's a tengu here! Everyone, find a place to hide!"
Everyone in the house was shocked.
The two dancers stopped dancing and stood in the same place at a loss, their breathing was a little short, their faces were panicked, and they didn't know what to do.
However, the sound of Su Cairen's pipa did not stop.
Concubine Jing stood up and said, "Concubine Concubine, the sudden appearance of the Tengu will definitely make people panic, and maybe something dangerous will happen because of this, so let's quickly gather everyone to prevent them from running away and causing even more trouble. ."
Xiao Xixi stretched out her right hand and looked at Drizzle who was standing beside her.
Drizzle was also frightened by this sudden vision.
She was stunned for a moment before she realized it, hurried forward, and carefully helped the imperial concubine up.
The two walked to the window and looked out through the window.
The sun in the sky is disappearing little by little, and it looks like it has been swallowed by some monster.
This is actually just the sun being blocked by the moon, which is a solar eclipse.
But the ancients believed that the eclipse was because the sun was eaten by tengu.
There is no way to explain this kind of thing to the ancients.
Xiao Xixi said casually: "It's just dark, there is nothing to panic, let everyone go and light the candles, don't run around, everything will be fine."
Shao Liangren also stood up: "Your Highness Concubine, Tiangu swallowing the sun is no trivial matter, and it must not be taken lightly."
Xiao Xixi looked back at them.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of the tengu jumping down and eating you?"
Concubine Jing took two steps forward: "Now is not the time for jokes, Concubine, you should be very clear that the Tengu will not appear in vain, it must be a reminder to us that a catastrophe is about to occur!"
