Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 16

[Chapter 16 Snow Fox (16)]

Misfortune and good fortune depend on each other, and good fortune disappears. People in Pingshan Town died one after another, but this did not affect the construction of the palace. The living people are all rushing to the future of nothingness. With the silver in place, the palace has been renovated very well. Well, the emperor just finished it by then. The extravagance piled up by money made the emperor feel pleasing to the eyes, completely forgetting the purpose of his coming, and in a great mood summoned the people who contributed, among them Qian Dagui was the leader. After receiving the emperor’s approval, Qian Dagui was very proud, and when he heard that the emperor was going to summon his family to share a dinner together, that kind of happiness was not to be mentioned.

The Zhou family was also invited. Qian Dagui wanted to break his head and found a way to perfunctory the Zhou family’s inquiry. The reason was that Zhou Hanliu was pregnant and could not attend, so Qian Dagui only brought his son Qian Lu. and daughter-in-law Xuefu.

At night, by the lotus pond, the candles flickered and the silk and bamboo lingered. After the accompanying ministers and invited people arrived, the emperor slowly came out. The eunuch shouted in a sharp and high-pitched voice: “The emperor is here!”

“Long live my emperor, Long live!” The minister and others greeted him, all bowing their heads.

The emperor sat on the high seat and said with a smile: “Pingsheng, today everyone just treats it as a normal dinner party, just talk and drink, no need to be polite.”

“Thank you, the emperor.”

The next step is to raise a glass frequently and say something to please the horse. The talented scholar will show off his literary talent and make the emperor smile. The emperor is very happy, and he will drink toast. Everyone present stands up in order. Next to her, she was last in line. When Qian Lu finished speaking auspicious words, she stood up gracefully, holding a glass of wine, and said softly: “My concubine is not good at poetry, I wish my emperor a long life with a glass of thin wine.” .

It was this drink that made the emperor stunned, the skin was better than snow, the bullets could be broken, and the eyes were full of autumnal waves. That drop of residual wine flowed down the corner of the mouth to the chin, like tears falling, and the beauty in front of him was like a lotus that just came out of water. He felt pity, no, he thought it was more beautiful than lotus, like a fairy, so he forgot his feelings and said dementedly: “Beautiful, flat body.”

“Xie Long live.” Looking sideways, I feel that there is no such perfect thing in the world, and I can’t help clenching my palms.

Throughout the banquet, the emperor did not take his eyes off Xue Fu. Her frowns, smiles, and the love between her and Qian Lu all touched the emperor’s heart. As an emperor, he didn’t want anything, only this The beauty was accompanied by a mediocre Qian Lu, which made the emperor sigh and annoyed. After everyone left, he lay in the palace and could not sleep.

A courtier saw the emperor’s thoughts in his eyes, and found Qian Dagui the next day, and after a polite look, he told the truth. Hearing the minister’s words, Qian Dagui almost didn’t fall to the ground, but the supreme emperor actually took a fancy to his daughter-in-law, and she was his son’s favorite woman, what was he doing? If you don’t give it, you will offend the emperor. If you give it, you will kill your son. After the minister left, Qian Dagui locked himself in the room and beat his chest. Helpless, I found my son Qian Lu to discuss it, and wept bitterly with snot and tears: “Lu Er, all mistakes are my father’s fault, father should not spend money to build that palace, let alone let you go with me. Ah, it’s all Daddy’s fault.”

“No.” Qian Lu knew that the emperor had taken a fancy to Xue Fu, and he was completely dumbfounded.
