Twelve, Princess Qingle's hunger meal

The next morning, Zhou Xuan took Qin Que, Yang Xiaopin, Xiao Xuxiang and others to "Zhi Jinlou". Together with Ruichu, Nian Nujiao, Xi Liu, Ji Zhi and other four other WuYi, they danced aerobics together. This good tradition cannot be lost. Fairy Jingyi did not forget to dance aerobics in the Taoist temple. How could these women in the Zhou family not practice?

The current aerobics team in the Zhou Mansion has grown. A total of more than 20 people, together with the little maid who joined in the fun, Yang Xiaopin and Nian Nujiao are dancing skillfully, acting as leaders, standing in front, leading the women to swing their arms, kicking their legs, twisting their waists, swaying their hips, and their charming and heroic postures are feasting their eyes. The aerobics coach is just a pleasure. In a few days, you can be the coach of the women's swimming team. Life is endless.

Qin Que also practiced with it. Jiangzhou is a small place compared to Jinling. Qin Que thought that women in Beijing were popular with this kind of fitness method. Her county lady, the imperial physician order of the Tang Dynasty, could not seem too outdated. She had to practice intensify her practice and catch up, so her small waist and long legs were very hard-working. Her husband's eyes frequently looked full of encouragement and appreciation.

Ernine also came with the company of two maids. She stood aside and watched Zhou Xuan beat the Jie drum with "head as green as a mountain, and hands as white raindrops". Ernine saw a layer of sweat on her husband's forehead, so she took out a handkerchief to wipe Zhou Xuan's sweat. Zhou Xuan lowered his body slightly and asked Ernine to wipe it, and smiled at her.

In a cup of tea, there was a panting sound under the "Zhu Jinlou", with a lot of powder and sweat, and a strong fat fragrance. Some of the weak could not jump.

Zhou Xuan's two small yellow sandalwood drumsticks in his hand beat the edge of the Jie drum, and the drum sound stopped, saying, "I'll practice aerobics here. Let Mrs. Que'er take you to practice the Five Animal Play. I'll persist every day in the future and don't be lazy!"

Zhou Xuan went to Houyuan to play Cuju, Sichi and others played Cuju. As soon as the kick started, the manager came to report that King Wei brought the Cuju team.

When King Xu Mian of Wei saw Zhou Xuan, he laughed: "Mr. Duke, I brought Cuju to the competition. Haha, this is unexpected. Is it considered a sneak attack?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "My Royal Xinzhou Yuanshe has been preparing for war and has been waiting for a long time."

The two Yuanshes competed for each other on the Cuju field. After months of practice, the players of Royal Xinzhou Yuanshe have improved their skills very quickly, and their passing and cooperation are like flowing. There are masters like Three and Four, and those of Big and Ronaldo in the team are already above Yuanshe, and the strength of the King of Wei’s Mansion Yuanshe. After one game, Royal Xinzhou Yuanshe won seven to five.

Xu Mian, the king of Wei who was watching the battle, exclaimed: "The Yuanshe of the County Duke has made great progress. Next year's Qingming Quju fights with Guiyuanshe is expected to win the championship. In addition, before the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Jinling City will hold the Five Kingdoms Cuju competition, namely our Tang Kingdom, Song Kingdom, Western Song Dynasty (i.e. Zhao Defang's Song Kingdom), Wu Yue and Southern Han Dynasty. The Cuju champions of these five countries will compete for the world's first place. The hosting places are the capitals of the five countries, which are held in turn. This year it is our turn to Tang Kingdom. This time, the leader of the Qingming Quju - the Yuanshe of the Jinling League. But according to my king's view, the Yuanshe of the County Duke has more potential."

Zhou Xuan also heard of the Five Kingdoms Cuju Competition. In the years when the confrontation and war was not started, the monarchs of the Five Kingdoms like to compete in fierce competitions such as Cuju, fighting insects, and fighting arena competitions. These wins also demonstrate the strength of national strength. Among them, the Cuju Competition and fighting insect competition are held every year. Because the competition is bloody, it is once every two years. The competition will be held next year in Kaifeng, the capital of Song State. Last year, the Five Kingdoms Warm Competition was held in Jinling. An insect king of Song State fought against the Qinhuai River. It was invincible and won the championship in one fell swoop, which made the emperor of the host country Li Yu very depressed for two days. This year, Cuju battles were in Jinling, the Tang Dynasty. The Yuanshe of the Jinling Alliance cannot be lost. The Five Kingdoms War is the turn of the Southern Han Kingdom this year, and the date is held between the cold dew and frost drop every year, that is, around mid-September.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "It's very good, there's fun to watch then."

King Xu Mian of Wei said: "The county lord goes to take a bath first, and then I and the county lord go to the Qinhuai River to see the houses. Didn't I say that I would give a house to the county lord to build a worm club?"

Zhou Xuan swam up from Bixi, changed into a gentle summer shirt in the locker room on the sidelines, Xiao Xunxiang combed his hair and put on a black veil hat, and rode his horse with King Xu Mian of Wei from the gate of Cuju Field, followed by Sanchi, Gu Changshi, two officials, and more than ten servants of the King of Wei's Mansion.

The group came to the Qinhuai River and saw a large mansion in the river with pink walls and black tiles, two floors above and below. There was a rectangular yard in front of the building, paved with stone slabs, simple and spacious, several times larger than Zhou Xuan’s “Super Autumn Zhan Hall” in Banxian Street, Jiangzhou.

Zhou Xuan was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

King Xu Mian of Wei asked his subordinates to hand over the deed of the house to Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Xuan bowed and said, "Zhou Xuan is not a person who receives generous gifts. He must repay the prince."

King Xu Mian of Wei smiled and said, "It's not worth mentioning in a small house, but Xiao Wang has something to ask the county magistrate--"

Zhou Xuan was quite embarrassed when he knew what King Xu Mian of Wei wanted to ask.

Sure enough, King Xu Mian of Wei said: "Mr. Duke of the County, Xiao Wang said bluntly, I wonder why Your Majesty changed his order to ask his son Xu Min to be the wedding envoy to the Southern Han?"

Zhou Xuan really didn't know how to answer this matter. The ambiguous incident between Princess Qingle and him could not be said. He turned a sharp turn and said, "I painted the princess yesterday, and there was some quarrel. The princess got angry and didn't want me to send her to Nanhan. That's it."

Princess Qingle's personality is well known to the court and the king of Wei nodded, but said, "The child Xu Min has always been weak and sick, and it is difficult to adapt to the journey of thousands of miles. Xiao Wang received the order yesterday and was very worried. He asked the county prince to speak to his Majesty on behalf of Xiao Wang and find someone with a noble status and a strong young man to be sent to the marriage envoy. Xu Min is really difficult to be able to do it."

King Xu Mian of Wei was very particular about self-protection and never participated in the disputes between the parties in the court. He knew that Princess Qingle's marriage envoy was not so easy to be. Not to mention the long journey, Wu Yue would definitely obstruct it. It was hard to say that he sent someone to intercept it on the way. Even if he arrived at Prince Xing's mansion, the brutal and absurd Liu Jixing would be difficult to serve, so he did not want his son Xu Min to be the marriage envoy.

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, I'll go and ask His Majesty for the prince—"

Before he finished speaking, several people stumbled in, panting. There were officials from the Wei Palace, the servants from the Xinzhou County Duke's Mansion, and there were three palace eunuchs behind, one of which was Eunuch Bai.

Eunuch Bai was sweating heavily and gasped like a bellows. He grabbed Zhou Xuan's hand: "Mr. Duke - follow the family quickly, enter, enter the palace-"

Seeing that Eunuch Bai was so anxious, Zhou Xuan's first thought was that Li Yu was critically ill and even died. He hurriedly asked, "Bai Lishi, what happened in the palace?"

Eunuch Bai bowed to King Wei, and then pulled Zhou Xuan out: "The Empress is eager to summon you into the palace, let's go quickly. The family found the Wei Palace from the County Duke's Mansion, and then found it from the Wei Palace, and his legs were almost broken."

Seeing that Eunuch Bai was anxious but not panic, Zhou Xuan knew that he had guessed wrongly and asked, "Bai Lishi, what's wrong? Tell me first, so that I can prepare?"

Eunuch Bai found Zhou Xuan, and felt a little relaxed, and said, "It's up to Your Highness, Princess, please don't ask too much, go quickly, the empress is anxious to wait."

Zhou Xuan's heart sank, and he knew that Princess Qingle would not let him go so easily. He turned around and bowed to King Xu Mian of Wei and said, "Prince, then I will go to the palace first. I will do my best to do what the prince has entrusted."

When Zhou Xuan followed Eunuch Bai to Linde Hall of Daxing Palace, it was already the first time. Queen Zhou was walking back and forth in the hall, frowning. When he saw Zhou Xuan, he said unhappy: "Why did Nephew Xuan come yet!"

Eunuch Bai defended Zhou Xuan and said: "Empress, the Duke of Xinzhou County went out with the King of Wei. He just found it. As soon as he heard that the Duke of the County was summoned by the Emperor Xuan, he came here."

Xiao Zhouhou said "Hmm": "Nephew Xuan, go to Jingxu Palace with your aunt."

Zhou Xuanying said: "Yes." Following Xiao Zhouhou, she came out of Huayou Xianghui Tower, surrounded by dozens of eunuchs and palace maids.

Queen Xiao Zhou did not take a car or took a chariot. She walked to Jingxu Palace. A strong eunuch held a cranked yellow umbrella to protect Queen Xiao Zhou.

How dare Zhou Xuan share an umbrella with the Queen? He quietly lags behind a few steps and his body is exposed to the scorching sun.

Xiao Zhouhou walked briskly and walked very quickly. After walking a long way, he looked back and saw Zhou Xuan falling behind and waved, "Nephew Xuan is coming, my aunt has something to say."

Zhou Xuan took a few steps, entered the shade of Huangluo umbrella, and asked: "What are the things that my aunt is so depressed? My nephew has to share her worries even when he goes through fire and water."

The little Zhou Hou didn't speak, but looked at Zhou Xuan while walking, which made Zhou Xuan feel nervous and uneasy.

When he was about to arrive at Jingxu Palace, Xiao Zhouhou said softly: "Huzhu has been staying in Chuxiu Pavilion since yesterday's Shenshi. He didn't have dinner last year or breakfast today, which made me anxious."

Zhou Xuan did not dare to speak nonsense, but just asked: "When my aunt went to comfort me, what did the princess say?"

Xiao Zhouhou said: "I issued an order not to let Nephew Xuan be a wedding envoy. When Huzhu heard this, he didn't say a word and hid in Chuxiu Pavilion. Fangcha came out and passed away and said, 'The princess said, she wouldn't have dinner if she didn't go to Nanhan, otherwise she would rather starve to death'!"

Zhou Xuan didn't dare to answer.

Xiao Zhou Hou sighed: "I know Huzhu doesn't want to marry to the Southern Han Dynasty, but how can she not go at the moment? The Prince of Southern Han will arrive in Jinling soon. If he regrets his marriage, it will be a big joke and will also bring shame to the royal family. My aunt takes back yesterday's order, and this Nan Han Dynasty still has to go. My aunt knows you are smart, and Huzhu also wants you to persuade her to change her mind."
