Shashasha~

Deep in the palace, the Queen Mother was dressed in a dark red palace dress, sitting on a soft couch by the window. There was a piece of rice paper in front of her, and next to her was a brass incense burner with cigarette smoke curling up. She was absent-mindedly framing the drizzle outside the window.

Hongyu sat next to him and helped with the grinding. He looked at the thin and dense lines on the scroll. After thinking about it for a moment, he praised:

"The empress has never touched the spring water with her fingers since she was a child. I never expected that she could draw the noodles below so lifelike..."

The Queen Mother recovered her mind and turned to look at Silly Hongyu:

"Is this the noodle below that I drew?"

Hongyu blinked her eyes and raised her hand to indicate:

"The water is still bubbling all over this line. It can't be a painting of rain, haha... uh..."

As soon as Hongyu smiled twice, she noticed that the Queen Mother's eyes were slightly narrowed. She secretly thought something was wrong. She seemed to have guessed it right and stood up quickly:

"The Queen Mother, are you tired from sitting? I'm going to make a pot of tea..."

As he said that, he ran away quickly.

The Queen Mother felt that this silly girl didn't even look at her, because she had been with her since she was a child, so she didn't care. She put down the brush, picked up the paper and looked at it carefully, trying to see why it looked like noodles.

As a result, before I could see everything, my vision suddenly went dark and I was covered by someone's hands.

?

The Queen Mother sat up a little straighter, with a hint of displeasure on her round and round cheeks:

"Hongyu, you are naughty again, aren't you?"

There was no response from behind, but there was a breath approaching, and then the cheek was tapped:

Bo~

The Queen Mother was caught off guard, her shoulders shook slightly in shock, but she immediately reacted, pulled down her big hand covering her eyes, and said in surprise:

"Night Terror Hall? When did you come back?"

Ye Jingtang stood behind the Queen Mother. Seeing that the Queen Mother recognized her, he let go and sat in front of her, with smiles in her eyes:

"I just came back, come here to say hello to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother has heard about the turmoil outside the customs these days. It can be said that she does not think about food or tea. She must be filled with surprises when she sees her lover again.

She wanted to say a few words of greetings, but she soon realized that Ye Jingtang was very presumptuous. He put his arm around her waist and slid it up her buttocks. She looked dignified and patted her hand:

"Is this how you greet me?"

"hehe……"

It had been a long time since Night Jingtang had seen the hand-warmer, and there was no one else in the room, so naturally he put it away before it was too late. He hugged the Queen Mother to him, lowered his head to look at the scroll, and said with a soft smile:

"Why are you drawing this? Do you want to wait for me to come back and feed it to me?"

The Queen Mother wanted to squirm and dodge, but when she heard these words, her eyes froze and her tone became fiercer:

"Take a closer look!"

"Well……"

Ye Jingtang's affectionate expression froze slightly. He carefully looked at the lines on the drawing paper. It seemed that he was putting strips into the pot. After thinking about it, he was not sure:

"Is it possible that you are painting cloud glass and cooking noodles?"

The Queen Mother took a gentle breath, causing her loose skirt to bulge out in a semicircle visible to the naked eye, and pushed the hands behind her waist away:

"It is said in books that lovers always have the same understanding of each other. It's better for you, huh..."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was unhappy, Ye Jingtang quickly smiled and said:

"Okay, okay, I know what the Queen Mother is painting, it's just a joke to liven up the atmosphere..."

"Tell me, what did I draw?"

Ye Jingtang's mind raced, and he quickly searched the surrounding area for anything related to 'line, water', but there was nothing in the room. Finally, he looked at Tinghu Lake outside the window:

"rain?"

The Queen Mother felt uncertain about the night terror, but she guessed correctly, so she could tell a little bit, and her expression softened:

"That's more or less the same. The drizzle is like silk and the drop of water is like lotus. As long as you are an expert, you can tell it at a glance. When you reach a high position in the future, you can't just practice martial arts. You have to learn more about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, otherwise you will encounter

In this situation, wouldn’t it be a shame…”

Ye Jingtang was relieved and said with a smile:

"I am a martial artist. I really don't know much about these things. I will definitely study more in the future. I heard from the palace maid that my queen has not thought about food and tea recently. Is it because of me?"

The Queen Mother was indeed like this recently, but in front of a man, she admitted how embarrassed she was, and just frowned and said:

"What do I miss about you? Do you want to bully others when you come? You should care about Yuhu. She is worried about your safety these days. She can't sleep well and is sick."

"Um?"

Ye Jingtang frowned when he heard this and said, "Are you sick?"

The Empress Dowager sighed softly: "Yuhu and I were taking a bath in the imperial concubine pool the day before yesterday. In the middle of bathing, I suddenly fainted. I was frightened at the time. I was about to call the doctor over, but Yuhu woke up again.

, said it was nothing serious, but fainted for no reason, how could it be nothing serious..."

Listening to these stories, Ye Jingtang inevitably became worried. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the emperor's palace:

"I'll go take a look later."

"Um"

After the Queen Mother said a few words, she turned around slightly, leaned in the arms of Ye Jingtang, and looked up and down:

"I heard from Yuhu that you were injured outside. Where was the injury?"

Ye Jingtang withdrew his gaze: "My body is stiff, just a few skin injuries. It's almost healed now, don't worry."

The Queen Mother would spend the rest of her life as a lover who could not be told to anyone. How could she not be worried? After lifting her robe and seeing the scars on her shoulders, she bit her lower lip, hoping that she would never leave the house again, and just work as a guard in the palace.

.

But Ye Jingtang is too capable and irreplaceable. If he is not allowed to go out, many things will come to a halt. This is obviously unrealistic.

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and said nothing.

Ye Jingtang sat cross-legged on the couch, holding the Queen Mother on his lap, looking at the unhappy face:

"I know the rules. Nothing will happen outside. Don't worry all day long. Just wait happily for me to come back."

The Queen Mother sighed faintly: "What's the use of worrying about me? You have to go out when you should. If I were really your wife, I would still be like my aunt and sister-in-law, and find a way to leave a seed before my husband leaves, so that he can be with me when he leaves. If something goes wrong outside, the child can be raised. But I am the Queen Mother, how can I help you give birth to a baby? Even if you want to have hope..."

Ye Jingtang blinked:

"Your Majesty, do you want to give me a baby?"

The Queen Mother's face turned red, but when they were alone with each other in private, she still didn't shy away from it. She frowned and said:

"I stay alone in the palace. You are away from home all year round and don't come here often. If you have a baby by your side, life won't be so miserable... You can't stay, so why are you talking about this?"

Ye Jingtang is still young and really has no plans to have children. In the past, she used Jianghu secret methods to prevent pregnancy, otherwise Ning'er would have become a mother.

Hearing that the hand warmer wanted to give him a baby, he hugged him a little tighter:

"If you want to stay, there must be a way, but there is no need to be so anxious. Well... you can live the life of a young couple first, and then consider these things when you are ready. I am now a Martial Saint, and I will be busy with things in the future. It’s not much, I should be able to have some free time after I finish my busy work this time..."

The Queen Mother was being rubbed through her clothes and her breathing was a little unsteady. She asked:

"You are living as a married couple, only to be offended by you like this every day?"

Ye Jingtang shook his head and said: "This hasn't even started yet, so it's not an offense."

The Queen Mother felt that this was already going too far. It hadn't even started yet, so it was really offensive...

The Queen Mother reacted, her face turned red, and she whispered:

"You...you still want to have sex with me?"

Night Terror Hall is quite candid about this issue:

"As a normal man, I definitely want to serve you, but it depends on your wishes. I'm not in a hurry."

Although the Empress Dowager dares to kiss and touch her, she is still a bit timid about actually having sex. After all, she is a yellow flower girl, and she cannot go back if she breaks the precept. Moreover, if she accidentally gets pregnant, she will live in Fushou Palace with a big belly. Are you still alive after the news gets out?

The Queen Mother pursed her lips and said hesitantly: "If you want it, there is nothing I can't give you, that is... it's just that it's hard to explain to the palace. Otherwise, as written in the book, I will help you... …”

Night Terror Hall is a bit funny:

"I'm not in a hurry. I haven't thought about it. I'll talk about it later. Of course, if the empress wants to play the tricks in the book, I will definitely have no reason to cooperate..."

"I am here to serve you, and you still have to say what I want? Why are you so thick-skinned? As I said last time, I will reward you well when you return to the capital. This is not the capital, but the Jingjie City..."

The two of them chatted like this, talking about private things between men and women. When Ye Jingtang came in, he signaled with his eyes that Hong Yu should go to rest, and no one disturbed him halfway.

However, the main purpose of Ye Jingtang's trip to the palace was to recover his life, and he could not stay for too long. After sitting for a while, footsteps were heard outside the palace, and the palace maid reported:

"Your Highness, Prince Jing is here."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother quickly closed her loose clothes, stood up from Ye Jingtang's arms, and pushed her shoulders:
To be continued...
