You are my golden finger

Chapter 223 The Later Life of the Palace Leaders

There were suddenly more and more bigwigs in the palace who were enjoying a leisurely life in their old age. Lin Xijin felt that her three children were not enough to trouble them. Sometimes Lin Xijin went from one palace to another, and she had no idea who the three children ended up with.

If this continues, the three kids will definitely be spoiled by these big guys.

Lin Xijin felt that she should come up with something for leisure and entertainment.

Therefore, the Heqing Palace near the Imperial Garden soon became a leisure and entertainment center. There are various fitness equipment in the small square in front of the palace. In addition to go and chess, there are also poker, leaf cards, and Tianjiu... Lin Xijin grandly introduced the most suitable and most popular mahjong for our ancestors.

Lin Xijin gathered everyone at Heqing Palace on a holiday. In order to satisfy everyone's mahjong addiction, she only took out a set of mahjong at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, today I'm going to teach you a new thing. It's really fun. It requires four people to play together. Who among you wants to go first?" Lin Xijin placed the mahjong on the table, tempting everyone present.

"We go first!" The Empress Dowager and the Noble Concubine vied for the seat, and so they sat at the same table with the Retired Emperor and the Holy Mother Empress Dowager.

Lin Xijin explained the rules of mahjong to the four people, and she and Murong Xu gave them some specific guidance. The four people quickly got the hang of it and had a lot of fun playing.

But not long after, Princess Yuehe, who was watching the game, could not help herself and said to the Queen Mother, "Mother, you shouldn't have played this card. If you played it, it would be touched by Father, and all the cards would be revealed."

"Watch the cards without saying a word! Watch the cards without saying a word!" the emperor reminded.

"Mother, let me help you play a few rounds! You always lose." Yuehe couldn't help but join in.

"Kid, if you want to play, just say you want to play. Why are you looking for excuses?" So Yuehe successfully squeezed into the ranks of those playing mahjong.

Of course, the noble concubine finally couldn't stand Xin Lan's burning gaze and gave her her seat.

Of course Lin Xijin would not let everyone down. She estimated that everyone had learned enough, so on the second holiday she set up three more mahjong tables for everyone to play.

However, the retired emperor seemed like a man who loved to show off his new toy. He actually invited many semi-retired servants from the court to the palace for exchanges. Not only did he give them tea and food, but he also sometimes put in some gambling money.

People like Lin Taifu, Anguo Duke, and the Imperial College Chief Academician were all those he loved to invite, because these new things were not available outside the palace, and these energetic old men never tired of it and were addicted to the games.

Therefore, Lin Xijin had to set up a time for rest and exercise in the entertainment room, for fear that these people would become addicted and ruin their bodies, which would not be worth the effort.

In this way, these people can rest, entertain and exercise at the same time, and with the nourishment of Lin Xijin's tea, their mental state is getting better and better.

Soon these novelties spread out of the palace, and Lin Xijin asked Ye Jinglin and Xingwen to start the production of mahjong and playing cards. At the same time, he asked the Police Supervisory Office to strictly monitor the gambling situation in various places to prevent gambling from spreading.

However, the entertainment room in the palace did not disperse because of this. These old men came to court as punctually as before.

"It looks like the situation will change tomorrow. Will you still go to the palace?" Duke Anguo asked Master Lin before getting in the car.

"Of course we have to come in. We can't drink such delicious tea at home." Master Lin answered frankly.

After careful investigation, it turned out that the reason for going into the palace every day was to drink tea.

The three cute babies would sometimes be brought over to play, and these national pillars began to get excited and were planning to take these children in as their disciples when they grew up.

Winter is coming, and it is the end of the year again. At this time of year in previous years, the most worrying thing is the safety of the northern border, because the northern Qiang tribe often takes advantage of the cold weather to rob the people of their food, burn, kill and loot.

But this year there is no such worry. Because of the appearance of cement, the wall of the Northern Frontier was built very solidly. Even when the Northern Qiang tribe was strong and powerful, they might not be able to break through it, let alone the Northern Qiang tribe after Lin Xijin and Murong Xu had harvested them.

The Northern Qiang could not break through the defenses of the Jin Dynasty, and could no longer come to the Jin Dynasty to harvest money and grain for free as in previous years. After a struggle for power within the country, the second prince, Asikoji, finally won the throne.

Faced with the dilemma of having no money, no food, no soldiers and no horses, Asikoji had no choice but to send his eldest son Ashiliza and daughter Ashinaza, led by General Tuoba Zhuoyun, to come to the Jin Dynasty to request peace talks.

The Northern Qiang delegation was probably overwhelmed by the difficulties at home. They changed their previous arrogant attitude and acted very low-key when they first entered the city.

In order to show the great power of Jin, the palace held a banquet to entertain the Northern Qiang prince Ashiliza and his entourage. At the palace banquet, Ashiliza was humble and frequently toasted to the emperor Murong Xu with Ashinaza.

Tuoba Zhuoyun jumped onto the stage and challenged the men of Dajin in the name of exchanging martial arts. Looking at his iron tower-like body, many people could not help but feel scared.

Xihui and Xinfeng were eager to try, but before they could step out, An Yi, dressed in tight clothes and the current Chief Inspector of the Police Office, Zhao Xinyu, jumped out to challenge Tuoba Zhuoyun.

Although Tuoba Zhuoyun was tall and strong, he was clumsy. An Yi used his flexible body, exquisite steps, and leaps to play with him like a cat playing with a mouse. Finally, he kicked him in the back and knocked him off the stage.

There was thunderous cheers at the scene.

Tuoba Zhuoyun's plan to intimidate the Jin Dynasty with force failed, and Ashina Zha began to implement her beauty trap.

To be honest, besides her dark skin, which was a healthy wheat color, Ashina Zha was also a great beauty. She was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with countless braids on her head, and she was indescribably cute.

Ashina Zha finally led the dancers on stage to perform, and of course she also played the role of lead dancer.

Ashina Zha danced the Northern Qiang ethnic group's folk dance - the Shoulder Bell Dance. The dance slowly unfolded under the soft and mysterious lights, like a flowing painting, showing in front of the audience, which was refreshing.

As the soft music began, Ashina Zha stepped into the center of the stage with an elegant posture, followed by the dancers. They were wearing long, glittering dresses, and their hems brushed the ground, like the gentlest clouds in the night sky.

As the rhythm grew stronger, Ashina Zha gently rang the small silver bell hanging on her shoulder. The sound of the bell was clear and pleasant, like the gurgling of a mountain spring, or the wind in the forest blowing through the treetops, with an indescribable agility and harmony.

Ashina Zha danced lightly to the rhythm of the shoulder bells, twisting her body flexibly, sometimes jumping lightly, sometimes spinning slowly, dancing with her soft waist, and every movement seemed so smooth and powerful.

Ashina Zha fully releases her youthful vitality as a beautiful girl and displays the charming grace of a woman.
