Chapter 9 Protecting the King and Walking the World

At the end of the palace banquet, Yun Yiwan refused the soft sedan chair prepared by Father-in-law De, and led Hua Jiang to sneak out of the palace gate while the ministers were forming a gang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hua Jiang stood still in front of the forty-nine steps in front of the Fengtian Palace, looking at Yun Yi's back at dusk with a slight concentration.

"Come," the young man suddenly turned around and gently took her hand, "try how it feels to walk down this white marble staircase." ”

The dim yellow glow blurred the young man's handsome face, as if melting the long-accumulated ice and snow.

Hua Jiang clearly heard the heavy chaos in his heart, and opened his eyes a little helplessly, staring stupidly at the young man holding his hand and following him step by step.

"The white marble level in front of the palace of the Great Jin Dynasty is the highest cultivation among the countries, and each step is just right." Yun Yi looked at the solemn scenery around him, and said in a deep voice: "In the Great Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years, there are countless courtiers who have walked through this white jade step, some people have come up to point out the country, and some people have been pushed down and died without a body. And you and I are also destined to embark on this path. ”

The forty-ninth order of white marble comes to an end from time to time. Hua Jiang seemed to have just come back to his senses at this time, and his chubby little hand grabbed the hand that the young man just wanted to let go, and the cat's eyes were full of determination, "Hua Jiang protects you, brother." ”

Yun Yi was slightly stunned, and then the corners of her lips were hooked beautifully, and she stretched out her other hand and rubbed the top of her hair, "There are a lot of drunken skin red planted at the palace gate in front, aren't you clamoring to eat osmanthus cake?" Let's go, let's go steal a little. ”

"Really?!" When I thought of the glutinous and sweet osmanthus cake, everything was left behind, Hua Jiang said excitedly with a red face: "Is the osmanthus cake made of drunken skin red red?" ”

"Then it depends on Mama Li's craftsmanship, don't be picky about you delicious ghosts."

“…… Flower ginger is not. ”

In the Shoukun Palace, the Empress Dowager Zhang took off her complicated headdress, changed into a plain dress, and went to the back kitchen. Leaving Jiayue and the little fat man sitting at the table and staring dryly.

When Father-in-law De saw this, he instructed the palace maids to bring pastries and tea from the imperial dining room first.

Although Jiayue is a princess, the customs of the nomads are not as fine and elegant as those of the Central Plains. She looked at the fragrant blue tea in the lush sweet white tea cup, and happily grabbed it and poured it violently, who knew that her face turned green as soon as she entered her mouth, "cough cough cough, bitter to death!" What the hell is this?! ”

The little fat man who was poking the horseshoe cake on the side saw her embarrassed appearance, raised his head and said blankly: "Kyoto Longjing, haven't you drunk it?" ”

"Humph!" Putting down the teacup heavily, the girl raised her chin, the agate in her ears shook slightly, and her face was even brighter, "It's hard to drink to death, the Central Plains people are really weird, and they have nothing to blame for themselves!" ”

The little fat man grew up in the palace since he was a child, and the women of the Great Jin Dynasty are all gentle as water, especially in the palace. Where have I seen such a woman with such a strong temperament, she felt slightly uncomfortable in her heart, pursed her lips, and muttered: "Vulgar! ”

"Hey! Who are you talking about, fat man? The girl's thick eyebrows and eyes were horizontal, "If it weren't for the way you look like you can't help kicking, this princess would have greeted you with a horsewhip!" ”

The little fat man thought of his unsteady steps and his unskilled Lingshuo palm, so he had to secretly grit his teeth and hum twice, not daring to provoke her again.

Glancing at his cowardice proudly, Jia Yue lifted Erlang's legs, and the princess demeanor in the hall was long gone. Grabbing the delicate pastry in one hand and biting it heavily, he sneered: "In our Huhan grassland, which man can't bend his bow and shoot eagles?" Look at you, even if you're fat, you're still so cowardly! ”

The little fat man lowered his head and devoured the pastry, he felt that if he had internal strength, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood at this moment. It turns out that there are still benefits to not having martial arts, huh......

Standing outside the hall, Father-in-law De took out a handkerchief on his cuffs and wiped the sweat on his head, this prince has been pampered since he was a child, where can he withstand the temper of this arrogant princess! It's really hard for these old bones of them, and they are scared to follow behind, when is this a head!

Yun Yi and the others returned to their idle residence, and then led the drunken red with a coat of clothes to the dining room. At this time, it was getting late, and Mama Li happened to be preparing for the second day's food in the dining room, as soon as Hua Jiang entered the door, she pounced on Mama Li's side, handed over her pocket, and said pleasantly: "Mama Li, Mama Li!" Hua Jiang wants to eat red osmanthus cake tomorrow! ”

"Okay, my eldest lady!" Mama Li took the pocket of her clothes with a smile, opened it and picked it carefully, "Mama Li kept the wine stuffed rice balls for you in the pot, I drank a lot of bars in the palace, come and taste a bowl, it's still warm!" ”

The three of them were happy, and the dim lights warmed people's hearts. Yun Yi replied in a low voice, and the phoenix eyes that were usually indifferent were a little more gentle, and just wanted to take the porcelain bowl handed by Li's mother, when he heard a maid outside the door calling loudly: "Little young master, the head of the family has summoned, please come with the slave." ”

After passing through the idle house, Yun Cang waited in the small pavilion at the foot of the Yan Mountain, leisurely brewing tea in the purple clay pot, and when he saw him coming, he beckoned him to sit opposite. Immediately poured the scalded tea soup into the two tea cups, pushed one in front of Yun Yi, picked up the other and tasted it carefully.

Yun Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip, the fragrance of the tea was scattered between his lips, "Grandfather didn't go to the palace banquet today, because the Yun family is not the time to show his attitude today?" ”

"No, I'm just showing my attitude as prime minister." The old man smiled, "You have already made them see the attitude of the Yun clan very clearly. ”

"Today on the top of the main hall, Sun Er also saw a rough idea, among the six departments, the officials and household departments are all the queen mother's people, and it seems that the princelings are all fat, but the other four are tightly grasped in the hands of King Ning. If we encounter a major decision, we do not have an advantage among the six departments. Yun Yi carefully analyzed the current situation and frowned.

The old man has always looked unhurried, shaking the white porcelain teacup, "Then do you think you want to move the four parts of King Ning, which one will move first?" Which one doesn't move first? ”

"The spy once reported that Shu Zhi, the commander of the forbidden army, was single-handedly promoted by the queen mother, although the forbidden army was mainly dispatched by the emperor, but after all, it belonged to the military department, and it would be restrained after all. Since we want to move, we should first move the military department. Yun Yi got up and added some tea, "Dali Siqing is the queen mother's family, and with him to contain the criminal department, the criminal department can't do big cases, so the criminal department is not in a hurry." ”

"It's not bad what I thought, but that Zheng Ying in the military department is an old fox, and he is very slippery!" Yun Cang sneered.

Yun Yi smiled faintly, "It is precisely because of the 'old fox' that after doing it for a long time, there are many leaks." I heard that Zheng Ying's daughter has been in the palace for a long time, so let's help the queen mother solve the troubles of the harem. ”

"You are measured, and your grandfather is relieved. However, the struggle for imperial power has always been dangerous, and all affairs must be fully prepared and must not be rushed. "The old man rarely became serious.

"My grandson will be careful."

As soon as he pushed open the door of the small courtyard in the idle house, he caught a glimpse of Hua Jiang running in front of him with a dark face.

Yun Yi: "......"

The child who realized it suddenly stopped after running for a while, turned his head excitedly and said, "Brother, you're back!" ”

Yun Yi looked at her miserable little face, "Hmm......"

Hua Jiang happily pulled him into his room, "Brother, you wait for me for a while." With that, he ran out, and after a while, he came in with a bowl of steaming things, and carefully placed it in front of Yun Yi's case.

In the bowl of blue and white porcelain, the freshly whirlpooled lilies were still swirling, and the fragrance of sour dates and longan was overflowing with steam.

"When my brother was away just now, I begged Mama Li to help me build a small kitchen in the small courtyard," the child smiled as if he was invited to work, "Brother, you often can't sleep peacefully, in the future, Hua Jiang will cook you a bowl of soothing soup every night, brother, you can sleep well after drinking." ”

Yun Yi looked at the soup bowl in front of him a little stunned, and said with an uncertain expression: "Have you been busy all night?" ”

"Yes, yes," Hua Jiang anxiously stuffed the soup bowl into Yun Yi's hand, "Brother, drink it quickly, otherwise it will be cold in a while." ”

"Hmm."

Holding his cheeks, he watched his brother drink it with satisfaction, Hua Jiang held a dusty little face, "I will make a lot of delicious food, boil peach blossom soup in spring, boil sour plum soup in summer, just make osmanthus cake on this day, wait for a while in winter, I will boil yam soup for you every day to drink......"

Putting down the soup bowl after drinking, Yun Yi took a handkerchief to wipe her face, soaked it in water, and walked to Hua Jiang, bowed her head and gently helped her wipe the charcoal ash.

"Next time you're done, remember to touch your face."

The boy smiled intently, staring intently at her face, and a pair of hands that usually held a sword carefully wiped the dust for her.

Suddenly being treated so gently, Hua Jiang opened her mouth slightly and looked at Yun Yi stupidly.

It was obviously a cold handkerchief that slid over his face, but he felt that his cheeks were so hot.

Not! Taking advantage of Yun Yi's turn to wash the veil, the child reached out and covered his eyes shyly, or Mr. was right, it was really a misfortune for life, and everything was wrong!

Taking a deep breath, Hua Jiang picked up the soup bowl on the case and ran out in a hurry, and after washing it in the small kitchen, he ran to the backyard in a hurry to get the wooden sword and began to practice the "Hidden Star Sword Technique".

Yun Yi leaned outside the door and watched slowly.

may be talented in martial arts, and the basic exercises are also solid, and after getting Yun Yi's guidance that day, he fully understood the mystery of Yun's martial arts. Yun Xiaoxuan's exercises seem casual, but in fact, a set of exercises is suitable for one student.

This set of "Hidden Star Sword Technique" highlights the sharpness between Hua Jiang's moves, and improves her flexible transformation, without the dullness of her previous moves.

The ten styles of the sword trick are progressing layer by layer, such as the flowing water is wonderful, and the last formula, turn around and pull out a sword flower, lift the qi, press the sword, and calm down.

Yun Yi looked at the flower ginger standing in the center of the courtyard, shrouded by the silhouette of the osmanthus cast by the moonlight, and the beautiful back looked delicate, but it had survived too much pain that ordinary people couldn't bear.

Stunned, he bypassed the backyard and found the small kitchen that had just been built.

Small stone stoves, all kinds of cooking utensils, grains, fruits and vegetables are placed on the small table next to the stove, and there are traces of movement on the ground. It's obviously an extremely simple place, but it's really warm and distressing to him.
