In the silent dormitory, the faint sound of bells came in, and the light gradually became brighter.
In the bed, the Queen Mother, who was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, was disturbed by the sound of bells day after day. She frowned slightly, then turned over and touched her side.
簌~
Sususu~
?
The Queen Mother paused with her right hand, then opened her eyes and looked, only to see that the outside of the bed was empty, and the skirt hanging next to the dressing table was missing.
"Where are the people..."
The Queen Mother was a little confused and thought that Xuanji had gone out for something in the evening. She was about to lie down again, but she found a white fur ball on the tea couch by the window of the outer room.
After finishing that matter, Ye Jingtang carefully found a place to eat down the street before returning to the imperial city and arriving at Changle Palace.
Seeing the night terror, Xiao You Lushu just let go of your underwear and let go, frowning slightly:
Ye Jingtang went directly to Changle Palace now. He might have bumped into You Lu and Prince Jing to take a bath and change clothes. They went to the station. For this purpose, they left the imperial city first, fetched horses and changed into white yamen official robes.
Then we went to Baiya, which was not far from the palace.
Ye Jingtang closed the sliding door and walked to the edge of the bathtub. He found that his feet touched the skirt, so he squatted up and picked up the red skirt:
Ye Jingtang's eyes were not inexplicable. He first glanced at the direction of the study on the east side of the small hall, then jumped off the balcony of the dormitory with his tiptoes, retreated into it quietly, came to the screen, and walked in the tiger head door again.
Vocal:
You Lu stirred up the water and sprinkled it into the deep white ravine, and asked:
But what I calculated was that Yuhu had no intention of giving in. Instead, when I pulled up the soft armor with both hands to cover my head, I suddenly pressed my hand on the white jade ball on the right side and coughed a few times:
"Let him go and do his work first. His Majesty will leave at noon, and he has to accompany him. He must go pack up and have a meal first, so as not to miss the time."
The Queen Mother is using the topic as a pretext, but her expression is slightly fierce, and she asked your best friend to slap her in the butt while drinking.
"Big fat bird?"
"It depends on the situation, it can take as long as ten days or as little as two months."
Those trivial matters can still be seen by the palace. If the reply is too perfunctory, the Yanguan will be worried about what to write tomorrow.
But unfortunately, Birds and Birds have a very regular schedule. They get up and play crazy when they shouldn't be sleeping, and they don't even think about waking them up when they should be sleeping.
Now that those trivial matters have fallen under Dongfang Li's head, it is even more frustrating, because you are not the one who finds fault with the officials the least. Just the fact that Bai Ya's power is too small and the expenses are too small has been mentioned countless times by Shiqing.
"Just now we had a discussion, you did it."
"..."
The Queen Mother was satisfied and raised her hand to indicate:
Night Jingtang came to the palace gate and found that Benben was busy with some minor affairs of the country. Naturally, he retreated to disturb him, so he started his job as a guard and stood at the door as a doorkeeper. The sleeping birds were placed in the palace hall.
Outside the trees inside.
??
"You are talking with a small tongue, but you still pour a thousand cups... The Queen Mother is here..."
"Miss Yuhu, is he looking for you?"
?!
But as soon as I walked to the lake, my ears twitched slightly and I heard a voice coming from inside Cheng'an Hall:
!!
"咻——~"
Dongfang Liren was sitting in front of the desk, holding a long and eloquent essay in both hands, his face was white. When he found out that the night terror hall was coming, he was probably afraid that he would restrain his emotions later and curse and be overheard by the dignified villain, so he opened his mouth and said
:
Last night, as a joke, I touched the sword of a rich man. Regardless of the value of the sword, it has the right origin. If I took it or lost it in the Night Terror Hall, I would really become a thief. For this reason, I borrowed the sword.
The sword must be returned.
"Get back." The gentle and charming Yu Jie's voice sounded from outside the large bath.
The left side was trembling violently due to the lack of restraints and coughing, and even a flash of red left an afterimage, but with Wu Kui's eyesight, it was very cloudy.
When the little Empress Wei said that, her words stopped abruptly.
The Night Terror Hall is opposite the big case. The clothes on the right side are intact, but the left side has been taken off, revealing a slender arm with perfect lines. With the rapid movement of pulling the clothes, you can clearly see the bulging of muscles on the skin...
?
"If he is so far away, if he makes a small fuss, how can Prince Jing hear him? Come back slowly."
Ye Jingtang was about to nod, but he didn't expect that the round and plump Empress Dowager behind him had a dark face. She picked up the sword next to her and was going to use the scabbard to slap Xuanji's buttocks:
In Cheng'an Hall, Dongfang Liren was still sitting outside the study, seriously helping his sister handle official matters.
"Prince Jing is in the palace, he..."
"Old wounds will be like this when the weather turns colder. It's important to say it's important."
Night Jingtang paused in his footsteps. I wanted to pretend that I heard everything, but just as I was about to continue walking, another voice came from outside:
Although it doesn't sound like any trouble, the Empress Villa is only about ten miles away from the city. Xiao Wei doesn't come to court every seven days, and the ministers who can go to court to discuss affairs are also short of carriages and horses. Because they have changed places, their work time has been postponed, so they still go to court at seven in the morning.
Get up at 0 o'clock and get ready. The courtiers never have any opinions on this.
"Your Majesty, the guard of honor moves quickly. He should go and eat something first. Don't be hungry for a long time on the road."
Ye Jingtang arrived at Changle Palace by familiar means. Before he could see it, many palace men were walking back and forth in the palace, carrying items that You Lu usually used in daily life.
Thank you [Jian Suyan] for the reward from the leader of the gang or2!
"Cough cough - cough -"
Ye Jingtang paused after moving. He held the folded skirt in his right hand and held a large octagonal piece of cloth on the ground with his left hand. His expression changed slightly.
You moved to the side to make room, half leaning on the edge of the bathtub and waiting, without any sense of urgency. When you saw Ye Jingtang move quickly before taking on the inner robe, you even said jokingly:
"How long will Your Majesty stay at the Empress Villa to recuperate?"
Yesterday, Xiao Benben also stayed in Youlu. He should have been waiting for Youlu to clean up in the morning, and then led the imperial army from Tianjie to the Empress Villa.
"...?"
Master Xuanji responded brilliantly, swaying the large wine glass and responded softly:
Pa~
Although it was just getting dark, Hongyu had not gotten up yet. She was sitting behind the dressing table getting dressed, and she seemed to be aware that someone was coming to Fushou Yutan.
Ye Jingtang wanted to pull up his clothes, but the right side of his robe was torn to pieces by Master Xuanji. When he saw the Taiqian running over, he had no choice but to stand up and cup his hands and said:
It is customary for You Lu to go to Youlu Villa to rest in autumn every year. At that time, the personal palace maid will accompany him, and the court meeting to discuss official matters will be held at Youlu Villa.
?
The Empress Dowager's eyes were obviously unhappy, but the reason for her sadness was because her best friend was taking you to the wine shop. You came up behind her with a dignified manner. You were about to say a few words, but you noticed with your sharp eyes that Ye Jingtang's arm
There are no dark red scratches on the inside, but a frown on the brow:
Ye Jingtang staggered. I didn't expect the Queen Mother to ask such a question, and I even expected Master Xuanji to answer like that. But after all, I couldn't interrupt the private jokes between men. I just pretended to have heard everything and walked out of Fushou Palace slowly.
.
The Queen Mother had expected that you were so careless, and the Night Terror Hall could still tell who the person was. Upon seeing this, she quickly ran to the corner of the verandah, raised her head and looked around, and saw Xuanji, the real person with flushed cheeks, sitting in the window of the side hall.
Leaning under the couch and leaning against the big case.
Empress Xiao Wei raised her hand, picked up the remaining bellyband, put it on the other side, and said:
The Queen Mother did not disturb the sleeping piglet anymore and ended up searching outside the bedroom.
"Shui'er, where did he sleep with Ye Jingtang last night?"
"Just put it aside, I will help you clean it up."
"It's common for the discussion to go nowhere, so I must be worried..."
There was a feeble chirping from outside the side hall, and then the bird flew out of the window unsteadily, landed under the shoulder, and then there was movement again.
"If there's something wrong, I'd like to see him sleep too hard and tell him to continue sleeping."
"Well……"
"Worry, you can only pour a thousand cups~ That's nothing..."
At the beginning of the founding of the country, Taizu was very motivated and gave officials the privilege of being punished for their speeches if they heard about the news. For this reason, it had not become a routine for officials outside the court to read a book every day. A dog owned by a certain official was seen by the people passing by.
After barking twice, he could write a short article eloquently, saying that the dog barked because he was taking advantage of the power of others, so the official might not have used his power to bully the people on weekdays, so he should investigate thoroughly.
The Queen Mother originally wanted to chat for a while, but after getting off the horse she had to go to the Empress Villa for a vacation. After taking it easy for a while, she nodded:
The Queen Mother raised her upper body and took a closer look, only to find that the fluffy thing was a big white bird, sleeping unconsciously with its head tilted, and lying very elegantly on her soft pillow.
"Take it off? How dare you take it off?"
"His injuries are minor?"
Ye Jingtang behaved like this, just pretending that nothing happened, put the skirt and even the octagonal cloth piece under the imperial concubine's bed, and asked again:
————
The little Empress Wei had to cough hard. If she was leaning against the bathtub, she was sitting outside the bathtub. The water was up to her ribs. She was holding the watermelon on her right side with her left hand. She could see the turbid white jade fingers sinking into the soft greasy substance.
Ye Jingtang had no choice but to take out the face towel he used last night from his pocket and tie it under his eyes, while Qian Zhongrou pushed open the sliding door.
Dongfang Li was furious, but he still managed to get angry. Forget about giving him a warning. If you dare to attack these officials, you will die. Otherwise, you will be remembered forever.
"Ai Fei" is Li Ren's name, and "Keke" is the name of the real person Xuanji. Because Niaoniao ate and drank on the boat for a long time after returning, the Queen Mother also followed her.
The Queen Mother's eyes brightened, she stood up and put on her palace shoes, came to the outhouse, and looked carefully in front of her:
Lying on the soft pillow, Niaoniao, who was sleeping as if he was alive or dead, raised his head when he heard the sound, his round eyes full of shock.
Little You Luchu shrugged casually: "The place where His Majesty is, is the palace of the Imperial City. The place where His Majesty is, no matter how small it is, is just a house. He comes to visit every day, which can be regarded as taking care of both ends to protect the Imperial City."
; But you should remind him that the Minglong Diagram is an important weapon of the country. It has to be passed down to the descendants of previous generations, and His Majesty can dispose of it at will. Now it is handed over to him and let him teach the people around him. If something goes wrong
, causing the Minglong Picture to be lost, his guilt was so great that he would really lose his head.
Ye Jingtang was really flattered to be protected by the Queen Mother, but it also made Master Xuanji get beaten in vain. He quickly stood in the middle and said kindly:
"The Queen Mother."
In the eyes of ordinary people, things that can be brought to the table of the emperor of a country must be trivial matters related to the rise and fall of a country, but in reality it is not the case. The territory of Xiaowei is so small, and things that happen every day are indeed quite few, but they are numerous.
The petty officials and local officials in the border areas are enough to handle a small number of things. You Lu can just take a look at them. The least number of things every day and the most troublesome are the officials who are looking for trouble.
"Night Terror Hall, is he injured?"
The large bathroom was filled with mist, and the water in the pool was dyed milky white by the snowy lake.
"he!"
Since the bird is outside your house, this night terror must be following behind, and Shuishui has met again, the two of them...
"Yes, I found the Lingji Sword in Wuzhou and sent it back. As a result, Old Sword Master Sun came directly to teach me swordsmanship. He even asked you to speak... He wants to learn."
Empress Xiao Wei tilted her head slightly, and she was quite panicked when she saw that Ye Jingtang had become thick-skinned. After all, you knew that Ye Jingtang was trying to scare you.
"grumble……"
Thinking of this, the words that the Queen Mother was about to shout suddenly stopped, her footsteps also made a sound, she opened the door with heavy steps, and first went to the next door to take a look.
Ye Jingtang took precautions and pulled up the soft armor suddenly, trying to rush out of the door. However, because the pull-up movement was too small, the white scarf tied under the eyes was also brought under the nose, and his vision was immediately
recover.
Ye Jingtang opened his mouth:
Tap tap tap...
"He's drunk again, right? How come he's so heavy and heavy?"
Ye Jingtang saw Yuhu coming again, and without the experience of dealing with it in the future, he just followed the trend and said: "That's okay." Then he untied his belt and prepared to get into the pool.
Ye Jingtang put away the birds and walked inside. Just as he turned the corner of the verandah, he heard another voice coming from outside the side hall:
Because the footsteps were running in that direction, they passed through the main hall and reached the door. Ye Jingtang also had time to see Yuhu's reaction. He picked up his robe and turned around and ran inside. He opened the door and rushed out of the dormitory, jumping out of the window.
go out……
Ye Jingtang nodded with a smile, and before saying goodbye to the Queen Mother, he left the side hall with his sword and whistled:
When Ye Jingtang heard those words, he felt quite satisfied in his heart. I ran out of the big bath, and wanted to take this opportunity to ask if I could take Ning'er and Ba Niang out of the palace to learn the Jade Bone Diagram when there was someone in Changle Palace.
, I thought that Yuhu would speak directly first.
"He has to do rounds at the Empress Villa those days. Promise him next time to give the people around him a chance to learn the Jade Bone Diagram. I just saw it once. I'm afraid it will take a long time to go to the Empress Villa. He wants you to hurry up
If you learn, you can't be allowed to live in Youlu during those days. Anyway, His Majesty was there during those days, and Youlu didn't have anything to eat or drink, so he didn't have to work as an errand and worry about outsiders all day long."
This is the first time for Ye Jingtang. Not only did Daxin take advantage of Yuhu, but he felt quite happy. The look in his eyes probably meant - you suffered a loss, right? Let him tease you...
Master Xuanji is also angry, but she is leaning on the big case and looking at Ye Jingtang, who wants to protect you but is a bad person:
As for the method of returning it, most of the time it was for a noble son of a wealthy family to lose his sword in Longyin Tower. Even if the guest cared about the owner, he had to report it to the official to find it. It was a good reputation. Ye Jingtang handed the sword to Bai Yamen and said casually before the snitch succeeded.
Sell the stolen goods at the White Market in the city, and just give it to me before the superiors recover it. As the deputy commander of Bai Yamen, there are also arrests who will get to the bottom of it.
"grumble?!"
"Don't drink so little, you have nothing to do today."
Niaoniao became even more shocked. When he passed the horse, his head tilted, rolled to the side, fell out of the gap between the soft pillow and the backrest, and moved again.
Ye Jingtang smiled heavily and said, "You naturally know all the details. You and Master Xuanji take shifts every day, and you can just check once in the imperial city when you come back. During those few days, I will let you study the Jade Bone Diagram in Minglong Pond.
When you learn how to do it, I will let you leave the palace."
"Night Terror Hall, he will go to Minglongtan to practice his martial arts first. I will call him later when we set off."
"What you want to learn is that you don't have a way, you need his teaching..."
Seeing that Hong Yu was disturbed by this, the Queen Mother walked out of the small door again and went to the teahouse in the side hall. Before she could get closer, she heard the sound of clinking glasses and the words of a man and a woman:
Ye Jingtang really believed that Hu Niuniu could watch me take off my clothes, so I crossed my arms and crossed them to the right and left, ready to take out the silver soft armor and try it out.
"Since His Majesty is in the important place of the Imperial City, it will be no problem for you to retreat and stay in the Emperor's Palace."
"Hmm~"
The scene that caught my eye before was not the large bathroom shrouded in white mist, nor the beautiful little girl with trembling flowers outside the pool.
Wow~
Miyazato suddenly coughed, raised his right hand to block the other side, and changed into a protective posture with his hands crossed, and his face immediately turned a little red.
"Eh?"
Ye Jingtang didn't say much when he saw this. He turned around and went to Minglongtan in front of Cheng'an Hall, preparing to practice and wait for Benben to finish his work.
The coughing sound was quite quiet, and there was a sudden movement outside the study room on the east side of the palace, followed by the sound of running in that direction.
The Queen Mother shouted for a long time, but when she saw that Niaoniao ignored her, her eyes moved slightly, and she thought for a while and said:
"I heard that Sun Youji came to the capital and he also learned swordsmanship?"
The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed a little, she walked out from the corner, put on the majestic air of her mother, and said:
In the end, I was right. No matter how talkative Huniuniu is, she is still a man after all. How can it be cowardly to do something like this for nothing.
"Shui'er, what are they doing?"
There was a moment of dead silence outside the bathroom.
Wow~
call--
You Lu was physically weak during that period and had enough energy to deal with trivial government affairs. She only took care of the more critical matters and left the rest of the mess to Dongfang Liren.
Little You Luchu nodded and stopped talking about that matter, but after thinking about it casually, he realized that there was no formal topic to talk about, so he sat down a little lower, letting two white balls of soft tissue surface, with red dots looming, and joked. :
"Drinking with a woman, what else can you do? Why did you wake up so early?"
After I exited the door, I glanced outside the room. The clothes moved on their own and I vaguely said it was nothing. When I took the watch into my hand, the unfamiliar feel and shape made me realize that Daxin had taken the original flavor of Yuhu and wanted to throw it on directly. It seems to be a perfect fit; but if you recognize what it is and put the clothes away, it is obviously not a good match...
It was obviously calling me.
"We are packing things inside. It will take a while before we leave. If he comes up and rubs your back."
The sound of splashing water was located inside the Hutou Gate in front of the dormitory.
The Little Empress of Wei was lying in the water with her back against the white jade stone, and her hands were not covered. Although her body was covered with hair, the water was transparent, and she could only see two semicircles floating on the surface of the water. Instead, they were scattered randomly on the ground at the edge of the pool. Wearing a red skirt, coat and trousers.
"Kekeke? Beloved concubine?"
"...?"
?
Next door is Hong Yu's residence. Although Hong Yu looks like a palace boy, he has followed the Queen Mother since he was a child. He did not have the official position of "male attendant" before entering the palace. His actual status is quite low, and his residence is quite spacious.
The Night Terror Hall was too bad to talk about what happened last night. It was still brewing. Master Xuanji next to him helped answer:
