It feels strange to see Renya standing by the table without squinting, concentrating on polishing ink for him.
She pushed up her sleeves as before, revealing her crystal-white forearms, swaying gently in the morning light. Neither of them wanted to speak, so as not to disturb the tranquility of the imperial study.
Long Ying was sure that Renya was reliving the old dream he had when he first met him. Time is indeed wonderful, but it can change subjectively. At this moment, it has the effect of going backwards, and a certain episode in the past seems to be replaying, and during this time it is just like
It's an unreal dream.
As Long Ying moved his pen as fast as he could, he said, "You are elegant!"
Renya responded with a "hmm", her face turned red and she was so pretty.
"Renya!"
Seeing that she still refused to look at him, Long Ying's ears turned red, and he was stunned by the sight and said, "What bad things are Renya thinking about?"
Renya was so shy that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into, and said angrily: "You are thinking of bad things."
Long Ying said calmly: "Let me guess what bad things Renya is thinking." Renya said in embarrassment: "You are not allowed to guess!"
Long Ying wondered: "I can guess it. Of course it is something Renya said before. Ha! I guessed it! Is it related to good guys and bad guys?"
Renya said proudly: "You guessed it wrong!"
Seeing her innocent and cute expression, Long Ying looked like a little girl who would never grow up. She showed two deep charming dimples when she smiled. He said with itch: "This move is called 'throwing a stone to ask for directions'. It's purely a test. Yes."
! Good guys and bad guys are so ordinary, how can Renya be so embarrassed and blushing because of this? He must be thinking of some ulterior villain things. Come on! Remind me again!"
Renya was embarrassed and said, "Don't say it."
Long Ying said happily: "Renya knows that I guessed it right! Ha! It turns out that I am working for the Holy Lord sincerely, but Renya is secretly thinking bad things. Of course I will not say it on behalf of Renya, please tell me!
"
Ren Ya said angrily: "Don't tell me!"
Long Ying was so drunk that he got a wife like this. What more could a husband ask for? Everyone has his own dreams and pursuits. For ordinary people, of course, it is to start a family and start a career, or to marry a husband as he wishes, to be rich and glorious, or to have power and status.
, is only the patent of a small group of people. The entire society is like a huge spire-shaped sand dune in Taklimakan. However, as long as you look at the emperors and generals at the top, they still often feel inadequate, and you will know that there must be something wrong in some aspect.
A flaw, or an irreparable flaw in human nature.
I also think that the sand dunes are constantly changing and even being flattened by the wind, which is a reflection of the actual situation.
Long Ying knew Renya's character of taking soft things rather than hard ones. Even though she looked weak and fragile on the outside, she had a firm heart. He softly begged, "Good boy Ya, please tell me and let your husband listen!"
As Wu Zhao said last night, life is a battle that can never be won, because for her, from the moment Huanhuan accepted her as her disciple, she embarked on the road of no return to the battlefield.
The war between the sect and the White Way, including the imperial court, was a complete subversion and reaction to the society where men were superior to women, and it turned religion into a political tool.
Renya said softly: "What a person you are! You are so embarrassing."
Long Ying said: "What Renya reminded me of, I have fucked Renya at least a thousand times, what else is there to be ashamed of?"
Renya chuckled and said, "How come there are so many times? Master Ying loves to talk nonsense."
Long Ying used both soft and hard tactics and threatened: "If you don't tell me, I will have sex with Renya here for the thousand and first time."
Renya knew clearly that he was making false threats, but she was also shocked and said: "No!"
Long Ying stopped writing, glanced at her sideways, and returned to the manuscript with added annotations, feeling satisfied in his heart. The greatest pleasure between lovers is that anything trivial can also become the subject of flirting.
, and the joy is endless.
"Love" can indeed be the antidote to life's shortcomings.
Another way out may be religious belief. However, judging from Xi Yao's experience, what he needs is not nihilistic thoughts, but substantial religious experience. When he wakes up from the reincarnation of this life, everything is different.
You can imagine how much shock it brought to the two witnesses, Sun En and Yan Fei, when the three robes were combined into one and the gate of immortality was opened. It was more powerful than the rebirth of Buddha or Li Er who taught them the Dharma and Taoism for ten days and nights.
Tens of millions of times larger.
This is a religious experience, that is, our world is not limited to the unbreakable reality in front of us, more than birth, old age, illness and death, but has endless possibilities, mysterious beauty.
The empress described it very brilliantly. The Immortal Gate not only opened a door to the external world, but also opened a door to the heart. The world is no longer the same as before. It is precisely because the Immortal Gate transcends this world that Longying cherishes peace and harmony even more.
Take control of everything in front of you.
Triggered by a series of events, Long Ying went from deliberately evading to facing and thinking deeply.
Longying's eyes returned to Renya.
Renya happened to be peeking at him, and when she caught his gaze, she hurriedly avoided it.
The distant past has returned and everything is as before.
This is the first time he has set foot in the imperial study. Sitting in this position, Renya is still the most beautiful little palace concubine in Shangyang Palace, polishing ink for him.
The elegant jade neck was stained with red clouds, and she said in a voice like a mosquito: "Sister Qing and Sister Li are waiting for me in the atrium!"
Longying didn't allow her to distract her and said, "My husband is listening!"
Renya stamped his feet and sighed: "You said you were doing business, why did you listen to me?"
Long Ying showed off his rogue style and said, "If you don't talk about elegance, I won't write about it. It's the same when the Holy One comes."
Renya finally gave in, and spoke softly with her tender lips: "To Lord Ying, Eunuch Rong has ordered Renya. If Lord Ying wants Renya to sleep with you, Renya cannot refuse."
Long Ying said "ha": "I thought Renya was thinking about other things, but it turns out it's related to this aspect."
Renya said angrily: "You are not a good person."
Then he whispered: "Renya is reminding the bad guys!"
Long Ying was fascinated by Li Gao and reached out to touch her. Renya smiled and avoided it. At this moment, the voice of "Long live" came from outside the imperial study room.
Wu Zhao arrived.
Wu Zhao helped Renya up, who was kneeling on the ground. Seeing that her face was still pale, he said lovingly: "Ya'er, don't be afraid, come! I have something good to show you."
He held her hand and walked towards the dragon table. He said, "Mr. Long, come with us."
Seeing Renya's unsteady steps, Long Ying, who was following the two of them, was really afraid that she would collapse on the ground. This shows the power of the empress. Even her favorite personal maid, she was scared to death. And he was the only one who understood.
Wu Zhao is a person who has special feelings for Renya.
The empress arrived at this side of the dragon table, let go of Renya's hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Long is holding Renya."
Renya said in shock: "No need!"
Long Ying moved to Renya's side, put his arm around her slender waist, and said with a smile, "What good things does the Lord have for us to see?"
Wu Zhao took out a brocade box from his arms, placed it on the dragon table, and opened it.
Renya shouted "ha".
The box contains the upper, middle and lower jade pendants. The upper and lower parts together form a hollow ring, respectively decorated with cloud patterns representing the sky and mountains and rivers representing the earth. The middle one is as round as the full moon, smooth and moist, without any decoration.
.
Both the polishing and the carvings are made by first-class craftsmen, not to mention the quality of the jade. The three pendants themselves are already priceless.
Wu Zhao said in an understatement: "The jade is beryl from Lantian. The First Emperor used this jade to make jade seals. The seal script was carved by Prime Minister Li Si. It is the best of jade. It is warm in winter and ice-clear in summer. The beauty of jade is
The second most beautiful balls are blue, but they are all of the highest quality. The name of Lantian means "the land of beautiful jade". What you see before you is the ball jade. I originally wanted to make three sets, but due to lack of materials,
Therefore, I have only had two sets in the past two years. One set is kept by me, and the other set is given to Renya as the dowry I owe her."
Renya was surprised and happy, and wanted to kneel down to thank her, but was stopped by Wu Zhao.
Long Ying understood that Fa Ming came back from Chang'an three years ago and told her about the Immortal Sect. She then found the dimensions of the patterns and sizes of the Three Pedestals of Heaven, Earth, and Heart, and asked a craftsman to copy them. A set that had not yet been made,
It should be to give Fa Ming.
Wu Zhao said: "Everything is made according to the size of the original jade. I have seen more than ten different versions. Among them, the version recorded in Taoist classics in the late Han Dynasty is the most accurate."
Then he asked, "How do you feel, Mr. Long?"
Long Ying frowned and thought, then smiled and said, "Renya's heart is beating faster and faster. Can the Holy One grant her permission to go to the middle courtyard to meet her sisters?"
Wu Zhao smiled hoarsely and said: "Give me permission!"
Renya had truly received the royal pardon. She said "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness" and left as if running for her life.
Wu Zhao's eyes fell elsewhere.
Long Ying said: "Is the size wrong? The heart pendant is barely able to fit into the heaven and earth pendant."
Wu Zhao smiled and said: "This is the main reason why no one has been able to make the three robes fit together."
Long Ying said: "Is it really possible to inject true energy into Pene?"
Wu Zhao said: "Tell me, can the Evil Emperor feel the murderous intent from the enemy soldiers?"
Long Ying nodded and said: "That's true. The young commander's Jing Zhongyue has a very murderous spirit. I didn't think deeply about it before, but now I remind you of it, it's really interesting."
Wu Zhao said: "I can't wait for Xiang Yutian's comments! I also recall the wonderful feeling of working separately with the Evil Emperor. Sit down and talk." He closed the brocade box and put it into Long Ying's hands.
I worked until noon, completed the annotation of three chapters, and then left the imperial study room.
Wu Zhao returned to the palace half an hour ago, and the three women took the opportunity to sneak in to wait on him and flirt with him. Everyone was so happy. Before entering the imperial study, he had asked Eunuch Li to send someone to Guolao Mansion to inquire.
When the little witch's boat arrived in the capital of God, after sending the three girls back to Gantangyuan, they knew that their maid would not return to the capital until dusk. Seeing that she still had time, she accompanied the three girls to have lunch and then visited Lou Shide and Zhang
In Cambodia, he arranged a long-distance military operation to attack the "King of Thieves" Bian You, and also handled the deployment of Ling Yu. At present, his relationship with Wu Zhao was unprecedentedly good, and the empress would not hesitate to approve anything he came up with.
But a genius knows how long such a relationship can last?
Outside the gate of Zhongshu Province, Shangguan Wan'er's carriage stopped. Long Ying got on the carriage and sat next to the talented woman.
The carriage drove out.
Longying asked smoothly: "Where to go?"
Shangguan Wan'er said casually: "I will take you to meet the person who wants to meet you most."
Long Ying said: "Prince Liang?"
Shangguan Wan'er said calmly: "Why does Prince Liang see you? You have convinced him and solved the most pressing problem of his Wu family. Of course he is grateful, but there is no reason to see you urgently."
A few sentences have described Wu Sansi in detail. How could the Wu family's children really be grateful to him? All outsiders were regarded by them as tools to consolidate power, and they were discarded when they were useless. This mentality is exactly the mentality of the nouveau riche.
, but they are political upstarts, with an endless greed for power and position.
Long Ying looked out the window and said, "Princess Taiping! Right?"
At the same time, he was complaining in his heart that his relationship with Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping were complicated and ambiguous, and the way he spoke and spoke was a headache.
Shangguan Wan'er came over and held his arm, saying softly: "Why does Brother Long convince Prince Liang?"
In the past two days, he couldn't help but think about the problems of life. At this moment, he felt that his life might just be endlessly answering different questions, and most of the questions could not be answered truthfully. He said: "It's very simple. Just the lifting of the ban in the East Palace has already made a difference."
This made King Liang alert enough to understand the changes in the climate."
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Then how did Brother Long persuade the Holy One to lift the ban on the East Palace?"
Long Ying smiled and said: "It was not me who convinced her, but the fat father-in-law. Everything has a beginning and an end, and then there is another new beginning. This is called the cycle of heaven. As for what the fat father-in-law said to the Holy One, I'm sorry.
I can’t answer because I don’t know.”
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Why is the fat father-in-law willing to help you like this? Don't tell Wan'er that the fat father-in-law suddenly went to talk to the Holy Master on a whim. Ever since Brother Long came to the capital from the south, the fat father-in-law has always stood firm.
On Brother Long's side, he takes care of me in every possible way, which makes people puzzled."
Long Ying smiled hoarsely and said, "Is Wan'er interrogating my little brother?"
Shangguan Wan'er said coquettishly: "Wan'er wants to find out!"
Long Ying couldn't do anything to her and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I have to ask my fat father-in-law to know more about this. The relationship between people is very strange. Maybe it's fate at first sight, or maybe it's fate. Who can tell?"
Shangguan Wan'er said angrily: "I knew you wouldn't tell me. Things related to you are always mysterious. To this day, no one knows your origins, and it has become a taboo in the imperial court."
Then he said: "Of course the Holy One knows it, the fat father-in-law also knows it, and the old man also knows it, otherwise how could he let you get close to his precious daughter?"
Long Ying puzzled: "Since we know that my origin is taboo, why did Wan'er suddenly get to the bottom of it and pursue it so hard?"
Shangguan Wan'er fell into his arms and said obsessively: "She is your woman! Of course you have to think about the men's affairs. As for how you flirt with women outside, Wan'er doesn't care. She has no control!
"
She resorted to gentle tactics, but Long Ying was at a disadvantage and couldn't say harsh words. I hope her tricks to deceive herself would never go wrong and the relationship between them would continue to be pleasant.
The most unfortunate and fortunate thing in the world between people is that they cannot see what is going on in the other person's mind, so they don't have to "face each other" and see the dark side of human nature without any concealment. Therefore, ferocious evil beasts can be disguised as tame.
of sheep.
At this time, Long Ying's mind was entirely focused on the little witch's maid, and he was really not interested in the relationship with Shangguan Wan'er that was full of lies and almost intrigues. He said: "There are some things that Shangguan and everyone are better off not knowing.
.When will I let my little brother appreciate everyone’s poems?”
Shangguan Wan'er said happily: "Of course Wan'er is welcome, how about tonight?"
Long Ying secretly scolded himself for talking too much and talking carelessly. How could he be able to change his mind after the little witch came back? He said, "Not today, let's see in the next few days!" He thought that although no one was taking care of him, he had to take care of himself.
, otherwise you will be exhausted and happy things will turn into hard work.
Shangguan Wan'er sat upright, looked out the window, and said, "We're here!"
The carriage slowed down.
Shangguan Wan'er said solemnly: "Wan'er has already dealt with the issue of Wang Tingjing for Brother Long, and will block Wang Tingjing's inquiries from Prince Liang. But can Brother Long tell Wan'er? Why did the Holy Master appoint Brother Long to accompany Prince Liang?
When you go to Fangzhou, do you still need to borrow Wang Tingjing’s identity?”
He lowered his voice and said, "Is there a secret order to welcome King Luling back?"
The carriage stopped in front of the stone steps of the gate.
Long Ying leaned over and kissed her sweet cheek, and said: "The person who least wants to go to Fangzhou is my younger brother. If you, Shangguan, ask me, who should I ask?"
