This is a reply written by Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty to his son. It was written on the night of New Year's Eve and spanned several pages.
The general idea is that I miss you. I heard that you suffered a lot outside. I am very heartbroken. The Chinese New Year is a time for everyone to get together. Without you, my son, at the banquet, I feel that a piece of my heart is missing, and the food and wine are no longer delicious.
, I miss you so much... Son, please come back immediately to spend the Lantern Festival with your father!
He couldn't even count how long it had been since he had received such a "loving" letter from his father.
Since his father misses him, he must go back quickly to show that "his son misses you too."
So he ordered everyone to pack their bags and prepare to talk to Xiao Fu Niang again. If she comes up with anything new in the future, she can send it to him.
Although he couldn't find anything no matter how much he checked, he always felt like this little lady was hiding some secret.
Who knew that as soon as he went there, she would invite him to play chess.
He was the one who taught her how to play chess while watching Sheng Rong. Even if she played poorly, her chess quality was not good.
He had a headache when he heard it, and just as he was about to find a reason to refuse, he saw her holding out a chessboard with a sly smile on her face.
Yan Dong took a look and saw something he had never seen before.
The chess pieces are carved from wood, with soldiers carved on them, wearing clothes of six colors, instead of the six-color chess pieces. The chess board is also made of wood, and the chess board is carved out of gold wire. Although it is only chicken wing wood, it is more exquisite and looks more beautiful.
good.
This kind of thing is most convenient for people with money and leisure to play. As the saying goes, "What is good for the superiors will be bad for the inferiors." So Tang Shiyue took the idea to the emperor's harem and tricked him into making a bet.
Yan Dong initially chatted with her for a few words, but when the killing started, he frowned and said, "This won't work."
Tang Shiyue was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Yan Dong said: "The soldiers are fighting each other, which is a bad omen."
Huh? Tang Shiyue really didn't expect it, but he also knew that the ancients seemed to attach great importance to this. He frowned and said, "Then what do you think is better to carve?"
Yan Dong thought for a while and said, "Let's carve it into a boy. If a boy jumps and plays and has many children and grandchildren, the omen is better." He raised the chessboard and said, "Let's destroy this one."
That's okay...
Tang Shiyue was about to go to the workshop to explain, and Yan Dong said: "You can find some good wood, such as rosewood, huanghuali, and golden nan. Make more of them."
Tang Shiyue got what he wanted: "You want to take it back and give it away?"
He nodded, and her eyes curled up: "Then I want to engrave my name."
"Let's carve it," Yan Dong waved his hand and said, "Let them do it quickly, the sooner the better."
Tang Shiyue hummed. Yan Dong turned around and called for someone to help her find the wood, and dispatched craftsmen to help.
But in this case, it will be delayed for another day.
Yan Dong seems to have figured out how to get along with Emperor Ming Yan now, so he is not too anxious. Anyway, the movable type printing is the business at hand, and the checkers is the leisure time. It will be enough to communicate when he goes back.
Who knew that in the afternoon, the shadow guard came to report that there seemed to be suspicious people in the town and county.
Yan Dong is no stranger to this.
As the crown prince of a country, his younger brother has gradually grown up. Especially after he left the capital, he became a living target and was hunted down and killed countless times.
Especially this time, his father was attracted to him.
It is said that at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, my father showed off the four and a half treasures he had woven by himself and praised him for his pure heart. People behind the scenes were afraid that they could not sit still.
Yan Dong hesitated for a while, then called Huo Qijing over: "Are you willing to do something for me?"
Huo Qijing said: "Your Highness, please give me your instructions."
Simply and neatly, without thinking.
Yan Dong couldn't help but be startled, and then he said: "Gu Xiang asked you to be a suspicious soldier and secretly escort Gu back to the capital."
Huo Qijing cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Still crisp and without thinking.
Suspicious soldier... Huo Qijing could not possibly not know what he meant. He just wanted to use him to distract the pursuers. This was an extremely dangerous thing.
However, he agreed as a matter of course, as if this was a logical and completely unambiguous choice.
In fact, as soon as the prince said these words, almost everyone would immediately think of the fight for the heir.
The people in the capital are all smart people. They assess the situation one by one and act according to the wind. They are having fun!
Ever since his father scolded him for being a clique in court and neglected him for two years, he has become more and more uncomfortable in doing things. He has seen more of these people's hypocritical and submissive skills, and they all speak in a cryptic way. Now, suddenly,
However, meeting such a pure person like Huo Qijing made him sigh with emotion.
The "combination of kindness and power" he wanted to express had no chance to be used. Even wanting to say: "I will not treat you badly" seemed to be a kind of contempt for him.
In fact, this is both a danger and an opportunity.
The descendants of the Huo family saved the prince, which brought them to the forefront again.
This has advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that he no longer has to climb up the ladder step by step. The disadvantage is that when he does something later, many people will stare at him. If he does anything wrong at all, he will be "unworthy of his descendants."
But he believed that Huo Qijing had not considered this.
He is simple and direct, the king has orders and the ministers obey them, that's all.
Although the Huo family has become common people, their duty as ministers engraved in their bones has never changed.
In comparison, those ministers who are full of scheming and never forget to bargain, look even more disgusting.
If the ancestor of the Huo family also had such a character, then he would understand that Emperor Taizu had great trust in the Huo family. No king would dislike this feeling of being able to act like an arm and a finger.
…………
Tang Shiyue was sleeping soundly when she felt the door ring.
She turned over in a daze, and a familiar smell slowly approached, and Tang Shiyue suddenly woke up.
She never thought that one day she would be able to recognize someone just by their smell.
When she recognized him, she suddenly thought of something, jumped out of bed barefoot, threw herself into his arms, and put her arms around his waist.
Huo Qijing was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and gently stroked her hair: "Did I wake you up?"
She tightened her arms hard and he said: "I..."
"Stop talking!" She said loudly, her voice choked with sobs: "Stop talking!"
He stopped talking and just held her tightly silently. After a long while, she choked and said: "If...you are next to me in the future, even if there is a female cat or mosquito...not a male one! In short...anyway, if you...
In this way, we will be enemies from now on!"
Huo Qijing couldn't laugh or cry: "I understand."
"I'm not kidding you!" She pinched him hard: "I don't care about the reason, no matter what, we are enemies, and I will not return your brother to you!"
In the darkness, their eyes met, and he kissed her eyes gently: "No, don't worry."
She twitched twice and then thought of something, "I want to put a stamp on you! Bite it with my teeth!"
His body stiffened suddenly, and he didn't know what weird thing he thought of. He was silent for a long time this time, and then she said fiercely: "Hurry up! Take off your clothes!"
He was pushed by her and sat on the edge of the couch, his voice a little wavy: "Where do you want to bite?"
She thought for a moment and said, "Put it on your shoulders!"
He took a long breath: "On your shoulders!"
Then he started to undress.
In the darkness, the rustling sounds were too evocative... Tang Shiyue also began to feel uncomfortable, her cheeks burning.
Seeing him unbuttoning his clothes and looking up at her, she reached out in the darkness and touched his smooth and hot skin. Then she pounced on him without any politeness and took a hard bite.
He said nothing, not even a groan.
The taste of rust suddenly hit her mouth. Tang Shiyue slowly let go of her teeth and kissed her gently again.
She is a very independent person, otherwise she would not have had a boyfriend for so many years. Her people, let alone acting in intimate scenes with other women, even a normal handshake and hug made her feel uncomfortable.
.
You are so lonely and perverted, so be afraid, little Ajing!
I'm afraid it's too late! Once you get on my boat, don't even think about it!
She touched his face: "Be good, I'll wait for you to come back."
Huo Qijing nodded: "You have to be good and wait until I come back to marry you." (To be continued)
