I don't know when, the warm sunlight at the turn of spring and summer shone into the small building through the wooden hollow ceiling that looked like stars in the sky. The orange-yellow light spots scattered on the thick Persian carpet, which made people feel uncomfortable.
The lusty scene seemed a bit holy.
Xiao Guanyin curled up in Chen Ke's arms with soft bones and muscles. Both of them were naked and lying on the scattered clothes. Chen Ke gently stroked her white and smooth jade back, feeling satisfied and not wanting to say a word.
"Mr. Chen," Xiao Guanyin changed into a comfortable position, pressed her jade face close to her lover's arms, and murmured: "I don't want to be a queen anymore, please let me stay by your side, even if you are a concubine or a maid, I will be willing to do so."
.”
"Hmm..." Chen Ke responded vaguely. The calmest time for a man is when his magazine is empty. This is exactly the opposite of a woman...
"I know you don't have the guts to agree." Xiao Guanyin squeaked and said foolishly: "Just for a moment, in this room...can you forget all the constraints and make me happy?"
"Well..." Chen Ke replied softly, "I'm afraid you will be in more pain after leaving this room."
"I don't care, I just want you now." Xiao Guanyin murmured: "You, a heart-stealing scholar, either give your heart back to me, or you have to take responsibility..."
"Okay then," Chen Ke gently held up her little feet. There was no part of Xiao Guanyin's body that was not beautiful. Even though she had natural feet, she also looked thin and pretty. The pink soles were smooth and shiny, and her five neat and small feet were
His toes were pressed together, and his toenails were as shiny as shells.
"It's so beautiful." Chen Ke couldn't help but kiss her feet, and then tied their ankles together with a red rope, saying in a low voice:
"The ears of the red rope are used to tie the feet of the husband and wife, and they have a potential relationship during their lives. Even if they are enemies of each other, the nobles and the lowly are separated, they are far away from home, and Wu and Chu are in foreign lands, this rope will never be tied together..."
This ancient version of the vow of love is no worse than the Western version of later generations. Xiao Guanyin couldn't help but be fascinated and said with tears: "I don't need a jade pestle to be hired with a thousand gold, but I have promised to tie my feet with red rope."
"Madam..."
"Um?"
"I will serve you Tang Mu as my husband."
"Thank you for your service..."

There is an exquisite Arabic bath in the small building, and the water in the pool is warm but not hot.
Chen Ke cleans every inch of the beloved woman's skin. In the mist of water, Xiao Guanyin's delicate body exudes incomparable temptation. However, at this time, there is no evil intention in the two people's hearts. Instead, there is a deep feeling of reluctance.
The only thing left for those who feel so sad and sad is to say goodbye. Today we say goodbye, thousands of mountains and rivers away, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again in this life...
After the beauty got out of the bath, Chen Ke put her into a cloud dress, brocade skirt, tube top, underwear, doublet, and silk shoes... After putting a pair of embroidered silk shoes on her slender feet, Chen Ke kissed her completely.
Xiao Guanyin, who looked like a daughter, said softly: "Madam, I will carry you out."
Xiao Guanyin lay on his back, hugged his neck, closed her eyes, and hugged him tighter and tighter... She left the bathroom lightly, and when she opened her eyes, she found that she was already standing in front of the dressing table.
Seeing the woman in the mirror wearing a hundred phoenix cloud clothes, a red bone cloud skirt, and her hair shawl, Xiao Guanyin smiled and shed tears: "She looks like a bride."
"It doesn't look like it." Chen Ke said softly: "Come on, let me draw my eyebrows."
Xiao Guanyin sat down, Chen Ke gently held her waterfall-like hair, and said softly: "In Han Dynasty, a man should prepare a satisfactory head and face for the woman he loves." After saying that, he tied up her black silk and covered her with a delicate trousers.
The eight-treasure crown was fixed with gold hairpins inlaid with precious stones. He carefully unfolded his temples and said, "I never imagined that I would put them on for you with my own hands."
"Stop talking, otherwise your makeup will be ruined later..." Xiao Guanyin couldn't stop crying.
"My beauty is natural, why do I need pink and white?" Chen Ke smiled and held up a mirror so that she could see the scene behind her head, "What a beautiful bride."
Looking at the beauty with jade in the mirror, Xiao Guanyin said sadly: "It's beautiful, but I don't dare to wear it out of this room."
"..." Chen Ke felt sad.
Xiao Guanyin stood up suddenly, hugged his neck tightly, and kissed him passionately and almost crazy. After a long time, she closed her eyes and said: "I think in your impression, you will always be this lady in red, so you leave now
Bar……"

As the sun set, the Liao people who woke up from their drunken state thanked their hosts for their hospitality and then returned in their carriage surrounded by the prince.
Chen Ke stood on the balcony with a deep expression on his face, looking at the group of Liao women wearing Su curtains. One of them seemed to be aware of it. She took off her veil, put her hand on the awning, turned back, and took a deep look at him.
The woman raised her arms, and her sleeves slid down to her elbows, revealing a white arm. Although she was far away, she could clearly see that there was a red rope tied around her wrist, which was bright red!
Chen Ke stretched out his hand and exposed his arm. There was also a red rope tied around his wrist, which was bright red...
The Liao team left for a long time, but Chen Ke still stood there. The dusk was rising, and he could no longer see the distance. But he seemed to still be able to see the woman wearing a hundred-phoenix cloud dress and a red-bone cloud skirt, who looked like a fairy concubine.
…
When he finally came to his senses, he saw Chen Zhong standing aside, seemingly waiting for a long time.
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty invites you."
"Yeah." Chen Ke nodded and walked downstairs.
When they arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion during the tea time, Zhao Shu and his family had not eaten yet and were waiting for him. To his slight surprise, Wang Yu was also there.
Chen Kedao felt guilty and went to the table to eat. He was obviously familiar with the road.
After dinner, the three of them moved to the study. The palace servants served tea again, and then Zhao Shu got down to business and said, "The matter of Lord Liao's white dragon fish suit can no longer be kept secret."
"Oh?" Chen Ke couldn't help but feel ashamed secretly. These days, his mind has been filled with all the slaves of Guanyin, and he has become a little slow to other things.
"Zhao Zongshi and the others already know about this." Zhao Shu said: "Thankfully, today is not Chang Chao, so we didn't expose it directly."
"How did they know?" Chen Ke frowned and asked himself, since the Liao delegation did not do anything extraordinary after coming to Beijing, it should not be exposed.
"It came from the Liao Kingdom." Zhao Shu said, "It should have been leaked intentionally by Chongyuan and his son."
"Oh?" Chen Ke frowned even more tightly.
"Yelu Chongyuan is trying to usurp the throne." Wang Yu said first, "Why did Zhao Zongshi become Yelu Chongyuan's accomplice?"
"Maybe he wants to cause trouble for me." Zhao Shu said.
"Yeah." Wang Yu nodded and said in a dark voice: "If Yelu Hongji can't go back, Yelu Zhongyuan will definitely be willing to pay all the price. When the time comes, he will respect Hongji as the Supreme Emperor. After he ascends to the throne, he will do the first thing
The thing is that Shuai's army went south, which was a shame for Emperor Yi Xue to hunt south. But it was a lie that he went south to fight the decisive battle with the Song Dynasty, but it was true that he took the opportunity to control the army, so it is very likely that it will be another battle of Chanyuan." He paused and raised his palms.
One attack said: "By then the situation will change drastically, and the whole country's focus will shift to fighting against the Liao. By then, the opinions of the officials will not matter. Zhao Zongshi, who can resist the Liao's southern invasion, will be the best candidate for the throne."
"Isn't this too much fun?" Zhao Shu's expression turned very bad. He didn't expect that Zhao Zongshi's simple move actually contained such ambition.
"They are not afraid of playing tricks now, but they are afraid that the world will not be in chaos." Wang Yu said coldly: "Only when there is chaos can the army be mobilized..."
"We must not let them succeed," Zhao Shu said in horror, "Zhong Fang, do you think so too?"
"..." Chen Ke looked at Wang Yu. He wanted to say that you are too imaginative, but when he realized that Zhao Shu had deliberately asked him to discuss matters with him, his interest waned and he nodded: "Drive carefully for ten thousand years."
Boat……"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, the Kaifeng Prefecture actually sent troops to surround the Liao embassy, and loudly announced that the Lord of Liao, Yelu Hongji, was among them. As a result, the people watching the excitement surrounded the Liao embassy.
Zhao Zhen was shocked when he learned about it and immediately ordered Zhao Zongshi to withdraw his troops. However, Zhao Zongshi asked the court to find out whether this was true on the grounds that his ministers would not be able to bear it if the Liao lord left.
Here Zhao Zhen and his son were still trying to find ways to cover it up, but over there the Liao people jumped in and admitted that our emperor was in the embassy, and he came to congratulate the uncle of the Southern Dynasty Emperor on his birthday. He wanted to wait until the Southern Dynasty Emperor's birthday to see him again.
It’s a surprise for the emperor! I didn’t expect you to treat them like enemies. Is this the so-called country of etiquette? How disappointing!
This news was like a bomb, detonating the Song Dynasty. Zhao Zhen, an official, had to urgently summon the eight ministers and ministers of the two governments to discuss how to deal with the Lord of Liao.
The ministers were naturally divided into two groups. One side thought that the envoys should not be killed if the two countries were at war. Besides, the two countries were still brothers. How could they attack the Emperor of Liao? It was better to entertain him and send him gifts out of the country.
The other faction insisted on detaining the Emperor of Liao and letting the Liao people exchange him for Yan Yun. Such a God-given opportunity must not be missed.
There was a fierce quarrel between the two factions. Zhao Shu wanted to speak, but Zhao Zhen shook his head to stop him. Then Wen Yanbo stood up and said in a deep voice: "I heard that father and son Yelu Chongyuan, the emperor's uncle of the Liao Kingdom, are talented and powerful.
The government and the public have long coveted the throne. Most of the news about the Lord of Liao in our country was released by them. Once we fall into the trap, they can legitimately ascend the throne as emperor, respect Yelu Hongji as the Supreme Emperor, and then lead their army south to take revenge.
.When the time comes, who will be able to resist Liao’s millions of cavalry?”
"You are all just guessing. How can you stop eating because of choking?" Wang Gongchen said disapprovingly: "The emperor of Liao didn't dare to eat it when it was brought to his mouth. The whole world would laugh at us."
"The actions of Lord Liao are so absurd and frivolous." Wen Yanbo laughed and said: "Prime Minister Wang is too considerate of the Liao Kingdom. He knows that with such a person as the king, the Liao Kingdom will inevitably decline, so he has to replace them with a new one.
An emperor who is stronger than him actually takes the initiative to break the alliance for them. I really have to wonder if you are Yelu Zhongyuan's spy."
"Don't be so rude!" Wang Gongchen twisted his nose in anger.
