Chapter 325: First Encounter
"Commander Ye doesn't need to say much, I'll go back with you." still fell into the trap designed by others, and a person like him, who used his power in the court for three dynasties, naturally knows his whereabouts very well, and it is useless to say more.
After returning to the city, Xue Tianao punished Li Zhengzong in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, dismissed the official and went back to retire for the sake of the elders of his three dynasties, and his son Li Sheng was assigned to the border and was never allowed to return to the dynasty, as for Tang Mingxuan-thick burial.
Xue Tianao did the happiest thing since he ascended the throne, and after going to the court, he didn't care about changing his court clothes and came to the Tingyue Pavilion to find Yanran, and he wanted to tell her about it in person.
Entering the Tingyue Pavilion, Xue Tianao didn't let people get through, and walked in directly. Xiao Wanyao was sitting in the yard basking in the sun and drinking tea, her eyes narrowed slightly, like a cat, with a laziness and a shrewdness. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his narrowed eyes couldn't see the hidden murderous intent inside.
No one could guess, she was wondering in her heart who would kill next.
Xue Tianao's figure suddenly appeared in front of her, she was still stunned, and rubbed her eyes, at this time, he should be in the early court, could he have seen it wrong?
When he came back to his senses and saw that it was indeed him, he had already rushed to her with a smile on his face, "Yanran, you don't know what happened today, this is the most exciting thing since I became the emperor." β
"Oh? Gold fell from the sky? Xiao Wanyao spread out her hand, looked up at the sky, and said jokingly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Seeing his happy appearance, she was even happier than him.
"What gold, I dismissed a few people's officials. And you don't know who died. Xue Tianao said.
Since Ji Xiangning became pregnant, he and Yanran have not met again, she seems to be deliberately avoiding him, and sent people to find her a few times, she also said that she had something to do, and then suddenly disappeared out of the palace for a few days, and just returned to the palace yesterday, Xue Tianao took advantage of today's happy things to come to her.
"Who died?" Xiao Wanyao's face was indifferent.
"The Seven Princes!"
She was slightly stunned, "You're talking about the Seven Princes of Wei?" Tang Mingxuan? β
"It's him!"
Xiao Wanyao was stunned again, came back to her senses, and shouted in surprise, "He's dead?" How could he die? Don't they all say that bad people live for a thousand years? Is it because I cursed him? β
Xue Tianao was really happy, so he didn't care about what Xiao Wanyao said, "I haven't seen you happen a lot in the past few days. Although I still can't figure out some places, at least the result is what I want, by the way, what have you been doing when you left the palace these days, why have you only come back now? β
Xiao Wanyao picked up the teacup and took a sip, put it down again, during which she had already thought of an excuse, and then said, "I found a few old friends to drink, and there is nothing else to do." The palace is so big, and after a long time, I feel bored, so I often want to go out for a walk. β
Regarding Tang Mingxuan's matter, Xiao Wanyao secretly operated, although there were a few places that were a bit far-fetched, but fortunately, Xue Tianao thought that there was a conflict between them, killing each other, and the matter was exposed, allowing him to take a big advantage.
Xue Tianao's face suddenly sank, "Old friend? So, you have a lot of old friends in my capital? Didn't those old friends of yours come to steal my treasures? β
Xiao Wanyao was stunned, she didn't expect Xue Tianao to say this, she looked back at him, and saw him looking at herself like him, her eyes were gentle, her temperament was good, and she was still chic, who said that when you really love someone, you won't love his appearance?
In fact, Xue Tianao's beauty has always attracted Xiao Wanyao, if he hadn't known him first, Xiao Wanyao would definitely think that there are still many beautiful men in the world, but if he took the lead, it would overshadow other men. If it weren't for his amazing appearance, maybe she would really let him go.
"Yanran~ What do you want? Thinking so fascinated? Xue Tianao noticed her ambiguous eyes and that little bit of and addiction, and there was an inexplicable sweet feeling in his heart.
"You're so good-looking! The best-looking man I've ever met. Xiao Wanyao blurted out, although she was a little, but it was what she said in her heart. In the past, she had never said such a thing so brainlessly, he was really beautiful at the moment, and the beauty made her not a nymphomaniac.
Xue Tianao was slightly stunned, the breeze blew, mixed with the smell of sunshine and flowers, blowing the long hair on his temples, and his eyes were facing each other, as if he was deeply attracted by something.
He gently approached her, leaned over and leaned close to her lips, and her heart was beating faster, her mind was blank, and there seemed to be someone in a corner of her heart who kept persuading, but to no avail, just when his lips were about to touch her, his mouth called out Wan Yao's name in a low voice, "Wan Yao......"
Xiao Wanyao's body stood up abruptly as if she had been stabbed by something, took a few steps back, and stood there staring at Xue Tianao in a daze.
Xue Tianao also suddenly realized how he did such a thing, so he got up and avoided her eyes.
"I ...... I'm not Wan Yao! Xiao Wanyao looked at him and said with a somewhat flustered side face. But what she wanted to express in her heart was not this, what she wanted to say was that she didn't want to reject him, but she didn't want to accept him as Yanran, and she didn't want him to treat herself as Xiao Wanyao.
Anyway...... It's messy......
Xue Tianao took a deep breath, "I have other things to deal with. With that, he strode out of the Moon Listening Pavilion.
Xiao Wanyao stood there stunned for a long time before she suddenly came back to her senses. She saw the tenderness in his eyes clearly just now, but she didn't know whether that tenderness was for Xiao Wanyao or Yanran.
After Tang Mingxuan's incident, many forces in the court and the central government were moving closer to Xue Tianao, and there were several princes who stood on Tang Mingxuan's side before, and now they also took the initiative to show favor to him.
This is a good start, and it is a great thing for Xue Tianao. However, for Xiao Wanyao, it was like a stone falling into the lake, causing a ripple, but it passed after all.
She is still a little medicine girl in the harem, and she still goes to the imperial pharmacy every day, but fortunately she will not get bored with the things there.
On this day, Zhu Yueyou, the palace maid beside Ji Xiangning, came to the imperial pharmacy to get the medicine again, and asked Xiao Wanyao to get it. Doctor Le happened to be busy, Xiao Wanyao ignored her arrogance, got up and helped her get the medicine, which was nothing more than some medicine to stabilize the fetus.
After taking it, he sued Dr. SΓΉle, and then made a registration and asked Zhu Yueyou to leave with him. Ji Xiangning lives in the Summer Palace of Jingren Palace, and the main seat is Concubine Jing Niangniang-Xia Chu Dance.
After Xiao Wanyao watched Zhu Yueyou leave, she yawned lazily, the sky outside had gradually darkened, and it was almost time to change shifts. But she didn't want to go back at all, because although the Tingyue Pavilion was in Taihe Palace, the closest place to him, he seemed to be very busy recently, and he was so busy that he never saw others.
Xiao Wanyao guessed that she was not busy, but avoiding herself.
Although she was reluctant to go back, she slowly packed up her things and prepared to change shifts. Seeing her lazy appearance, Doctor Le glanced at the sky outside and said, "It seems that there will be rain again today, Yanran, you can clean up and go back quickly." It's far away from Taihe Palace, so you won't get caught in the rain again on the road. β
Xiao Wanyao didn't want to go back so soon, but Doctor Naile said so, so she simply cleaned up and left the imperial pharmacy. On the road, she turned left and right, and there was only a long way, because she knew that when she went back, she was just guarding the Moon Pavilion alone, thinking about another person alone.
She was bored and a little depressed and walked slowly, but before she was halfway there, there was a sudden thunder in the air, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but look up, a few drops of rain fell on her forehead, she was shocked, she didn't expect it to rain so soon.
The evening rain came quickly and quickly, at the moment she was walking in the middle of the road, there were bare walls everywhere, there was no place to hide from the rain, the rain was getting denser and denser, so she had to run forward busily, she remembered that there was a side hall in a small courtyard in front of her, and there was a corridor on one side of the side of the side hall, where you could take shelter from the rain and then walk.
It's just that if you go from there, you'll have to make a big detour back to the Moon Pavilion, and now that the rain is hitting you, you can't think about so many things and hurriedly walk into that garden. The rain was pouring down, the clothes on my shoulders were almost soaked, and my vision was blurred by the heavy rain.
As soon as she broke into the corridor of the garden, it was suddenly dark in front of her, and she didn't know what she had bumped into, she groaned, covered her nose, only to feel that her nose was sore, and then two lines of heat flowed out.
She reached out and looked at it, and it turned out that she had a nosebleed.
"You...... You are! A young man in armor stood in the hallway, looking back in shock at the girl who had bumped into him with his head.
Xiao Wanyao didn't care about looking at his appearance, and tilted her head vigorously, "Is there a ...... Is there a handkerchief or something, give me ......"
Seeing this, the man hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his body and handed it to her, Xiao Wanyao didn't care too much, and directly blocked her nose with a handkerchief, which stopped the bleeding, and then washed her hands with rainwater.
The nose was hit, and the tears could not help flowing. The man thought she was crying, and hurriedly apologized, "In the next-Guo Hong, I bumped into the girl, and I hope the girl will forgive." β
Xiao Wanyao burst out laughing, this laughter made the young and handsome man stunned, she smiled, "I hit you, what do you apologize for." It's just that my nose wasn't hard enough to knock you off. β
Listening to her naughty words, the man also suddenly laughed, "The girl's nose is injured, if you don't mind if you don't mind after the rain stops, I will accompany the girl to the hospital to ask the doctor to take a look." β
"No need, I'm also a healer, so this little injury is nothing." Xiao Wanyao waved her hand and said, only then did she look at the man in front of her, and saw that he was wearing armor and a sword on his body, and the person who could still carry weapons in the palace was definitely not an ordinary person. And he just mentioned that he was going to the Imperial Hospital, except for the concubines and the emperor in the palace, who can use the imperial doctor if he wants to? "You are?"
"Under Guo Hong!" Guo Hong clenched his fists and said. He didn't realize that Xiao Wanyao wanted to ask his identity, so he reported his name again.
"Oh~ Guo Hong, don't you know that no one is allowed to carry a knife in this palace?" Xiao Wanyao said deliberately.
Sure enough, Guo Hong smiled, with a touch of clarity, "It was authorized by the emperor to carry a knife here." After speaking, he turned sideways to Xiao Wanyao and looked at the heavy rain outside.
Xiao Wanyao sighed again, making this gesture, presumably because she didn't want to continue talking to herself, and she didn't want to show her identity. In that case, don't ask. It's just that she doesn't seem to remember such a person in the court.
Chapter 326: Mockery
Xiao Wanyao stood in the pavilion, the sky was getting darker and darker, but the heavy rain had no intention of stopping. She was a little chilly from the cold, Guo Hong on the side glanced at her, reached out and ripped off the cloak behind her back, "If the girl doesn't mind, put on this first." lest thou catch a cold. β
Her upper body was almost soaked, her hands were slightly cupped, she looked back at him in surprise and pursed her lips and smiled, "No, where I live is not far from here, go first." After that, Guo Hong rushed into the heavy rain under Guo Hong's surprised gaze.
After being watered by the pouring rain, Xiao Wanyao gasped, and then she regretted a little why she was so reckless? It was nothing to accept his kindness, but I didn't know why, the young soldier's clean and innocent gaze made her a little awe-inspired, so she didn't want to come closer.
It's strange to say that I have seen a lot of deceit in this palace, and when I see that kind of innocent and flawless person, I stay away. Could it be that he himself has been defiled with unbearable darkness?
Tingyue Pavilion is still some way from here, and after running for a short while, she really began to regret why she ran out? Everyone is sheltering from the rain, it's so normal, what are you hiding?
Seeing that there was a pavilion in front of her, Xiao Wanyao didn't bother to look at it and broke in, only to find that the pavilion was already full of people, and there were bursts of delicate chuckles from women. After Xiao Wanyao entered, she didn't have time to see the person in front of her clearly, so she sneezed violently.
provoked a burst of laughter from the people present, "Where did Miss Yanran come from?" How to drench it like a soup chicken, quickly make room for Miss Yanran, warm and warm. β
The person who spoke was none other than the twin sister Su Lisu Chang.
Xiao Wanyao came back to her senses and glanced at the audience, in addition to the twins, Ji Xiangning was also here, she covered her mouth with her hand and looked at Xiao Wanyao's appearance with her head and smiled lightly, sitting not far from her was the virtuous concubine-Yan Mosu, the corner of her mouth hooked a touch of mockery, and her eyes stared at Xiao Wanyao with hostility.
In the end, her eyes fell on the real protagonist in the pavilion, she didn't expect Xue Tianao to be here, and what was even more unhappy was that he also saw himself like a wolf.
Just as he was about to speak, his nose itched, followed by another sneeze, and not only the concubines present, but even the palace maids and eunuchs serving on the side laughed. Xiao Wanyao felt extremely faceless, gritted her teeth, and wanted to fight back, but saw Xue Tianao walking straight towards her, "You should have already changed shifts and returned to the Moon Pavilion, why did you come here?" There are so many places to hide along the way, why don't you hide in advance? β
Xue Tianao swept away the domineering and cold arrogance on his body, and greeted her coldly, his tone was soft, especially when he took off his robe and closed it for her personally, which immediately made the people around him stunned, and the atmosphere instantly froze.
Xiao Wanyao frowned, Xue Tianao, what is this for? Did he do it on purpose, and did he feel like he wasn't the focus of these people?
"I'm fine!" She nudged his hand.
was cared for by him so closely, or in front of so many concubines, even those concubines didn't even enjoy such good treatment.
"Put it on, it's my order." He lowered his voice, naturally knowing what was going on in her heart.
Xue Tianao's robe was draped over his body, wrapping his delicate body, and a large section was on the ground, his shoulders were not even half of the robe, and the wide sleeves on both sides were scattered to the ground. It makes her even more delicate.
It's just that her body has already been drenched by the rain, and the robe is on her body, and it will soon be drenched.
The concubines in the back gave each other a look, needless to say, they each had their own thoughts and opinions in their hearts. Su Li, who was still laughing at Xiao Wanyao just now, stepped forward and took her hand, "Miss Yanran has run such a long way, come and sit down and rest for a while." Don't stand at this door, it's cold outside, you're soaking wet and careful of catching a cold. This is the closest to Changchun Palace, Yue'er is going to the palace to get a few of my dry clothes. β
Of course, Xiao Wanyao knew in her heart who she was acting for so attentively, and she didn't shirk it, giving her enough face, "Thank you Su Chang for being there, but you don't have to trouble Miss Yue'er, after the rain stops outside, the slave maid can go directly to the Moon Pavilion." β
"Let's go get it, lest you get sick." Xue Tianao said.
Su Li pulled Xiao Wanyao away from Xue Tianao's side, and he returned to his seat and sat down after he was unable for a while, still surrounded by the beautiful concubines around him, but when his eyes wandered, he looked at Xiao Wanyao from time to time.
Yan Mosu on the side saw it in her eyes, angry in her heart, calculating how to deal with her in the past. The two sisters of the Su family looked heartless, and when they saw Yan Mosu's angry blackened face, they were naturally happy in their hearts, and they treated Xiao Wanyao as a baby, shouting back and forth with their sisters and sisters.
"I see Miss Yanran, who understands etiquette and knowledge, although she is a child of the rivers and lakes, she is very familiar with the rules of the palace, and she understands the emperor's stomach, and accompanies the emperor all day long. It's better to just give a reward and be sisters with us. Su Mo said with a smile, saying this is not because she really wants Xiao Wanyao to become an opponent in the harem, but it is just that it is really funny to look at Yan Mosu, so she deliberately angers her.
As soon as these words came out, Yan Mosu's face became more and more dark, she is now in charge of the harem, so she naturally has long coveted the position of the queen, and any concubine who appears in the harem may become her opponent.
Xiao Wanyao snorted coldly in her heart, in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that she Su Chang was generous and generous, thinking about the emperor, but in fact, she wanted to push herself into the household registration. Concubine Xian's side is eyeing her, and the reason why she is not taken seriously is because she has not yet threatened her authority.
If Xiao Wanyao is made a concubine, the first person Yan Mosu will deal with is her. This can be described as killing two birds with one stone for the Su family sisters.
Xiao Wanyao lowered her head slightly and was silent, when Su Chang said this, her eyes glanced at Xue Tianao, and happened to meet his gaze. Maybe it was because of Su Changzai's words just now, Xiao Wanyao's heartbeat couldn't help but be a little chaotic, and her cheeks were slightly red.
The atmosphere became more and more awkward, and the Su sisters and Yan Mo Su were tense and refused to give in to each other. On the other hand, Ji Xiangning on the side has been silent since Xiao Wanyao came in.
She is now pregnant with the prince, so she naturally calms down, let you fight for the wind and be jealous of me, it has nothing to do with me, keep the prince in her belly, let's come to a long time.
Xue Tianao, who was disgusted with the harem battle, also sank his face at this moment, but fortunately, the sound of rain outside was getting smaller and smaller, and the sky was darkening. He got up and said, "It's okay, let's go back to eat and rest early." I'm still on business. "Let's get up and leave.
All the concubines stood up and saluted, "Congratulations to the emperor." β
After that, the Su sisters and Yan Mosu exchanged a 'wait and see' look, and then parted ways and went back to their respective palaces. Ji Xiangning walked to the door slowly, glanced back at Xiao Wanyao, who was still standing in the pavilion, and smiled softly, "Miss Yanran, let's go back as much as possible." Be careful if you really catch a cold here, you don't have to take what you just happened to mind. β
Xiao Wanyao paused, she didn't expect Ji Xiangning to say such a thing, and hurriedly saluted, "Thank you Noble Ji, the slave will leave." After that, Ji Xiangning was sent away. Xiao Wanyao fought a cold war tightly, and she was still wearing Xue Tianao's robe, but it was no longer enough to keep warm.
I only felt very cold, and after everyone left, she turned around and walked outside, Xue Tianao's robe was too long, she was worried about being soiled by the sewage outside, so she took it off directly and held it in her arms. There was a familiar smell on his clothes, and he couldn't help but look down and sniff it, holding it in his arms, and even feel the warmth on his body.
She smiled softly and walked slowly towards the Tingyue Pavilion as if she was holding a baby.
Just as she turned into another small courtyard and figured out how to return to the Tingyue Pavilion, she was suddenly startled by a voice behind her.
Xue Tianao was slightly stunned, looked at her who was hugging her in a ball, and immediately laughed, "Look at your timid appearance, this is not like when you broke into the palace alone and challenged my Praetorian Guards." β
Seeing him come out of the shadows, Xiao Wanyao breathed a sigh of relief and was slightly displeased, "Didn't you go back?" What to do here? Xiao Wanyao paused, "Are you waiting for me?" β
Xue Tianao tilted his head, "What, isn't it okay?" β
Xiao Wanyao was stunned, he rarely showed himself so much, "Of course you can, this is your palace, you can naturally be wherever you want." No, it's yours and yours to give it back to you. If it's okay, I'll go back first. β
But her hand stopped in the air, and he did not take the clothes in her hand.
"Why are you hiding from me? Could it be that I did something wrong? Xue Tianao said hesitantly.
"No, who dares to say that you are not doing it right! I understand my status here, and I know what I am doing here, I am just a stand-in for Xiao Wanyao, you have so many concubines in the harem to accompany you, and there will be children to share with you in the future, what can I do. Xiao Wanyao said in a low voice.
"Are you jealous?"
"No, how can I be qualified to eat your vinegar! The person who loves you is Xiao Wanyao, not Yanran. She didn't dare to look up at him, but what he said just now did speak to her mind.
She's jealous, and it's not a little bit, but the whole vat of vinegar is pouring into her stomach. She didn't mean it, she didn't want to do it, she felt stupid, but she couldn't help it.
He took a step closer to her, "You haven't answered the question I asked last time. β
Last time? Xiao Wanyao couldn't remember when Xue Tianao had asked herself a question, "Eh, what is the problem?" When was this. β
He walked towards her again, her thin form in the shadows, "I asked you if you like me?" β
Xiao Wanyao was suffocated in her heart, "That...... That ......"
"Answer me!" His words carried an irresistible command.
What if you like it, and what if you don't like it? She is Yanran, just a substitute for him.
However, before she could answer, he had already lifted her chin and kissed her deeply, and she couldn't help but take a step back, only to meet his other arm and forcefully stop her back into his arms. She was too petite, and he pushed her hard to kiss her further.
"Hmm...... The emperor, the emperor ......"
He picked her up and took her to the Tingyue Pavilion and pressed her under him without hesitation, and his mind went blank at that moment. The person in front of him, the scene in front of him seemed to have returned to the past, to the time when he domineering her body again and again. It feels like the same as before.
"Wan Yao...... Wan Yao ......"
She listened to him whisper, unable to push him away, and as he invaded she gradually sank into his warmth. R1154
