Chapter 68
Jiang You has been getting along with Changping these days, and he already has a good impression of her, and when he saw Bu Yan facing his concubine a few days ago, he couldn't bear to see her jumping into the fire pit. Besides, from the side of government and politics, the old witch of the Empress Dowager is still dead, today her birthday banquet, the Empress Dowager does not stop returning to the palace through this reason, Changping is her granddaughter after all, if she marries into Tatar, what if the Empress Dowager grows stronger? She didn't want to give way to politics. The bureau couldn't be more complicated.
She lowered her eyes and said: "Marrying a daughter in the Qi Dynasty is always more important than marrying a daughter-in-law, ordinary small families still have to be cautious, not to mention marrying a clan daughter, this matter is not urgent." ”
Bu Yan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, our prince is not too young to be silent, but because he has admired Daqi for a long time, the position of princess is vacant, this time I am looking forward to my return this time to bring him a happy letter, and please ask the emperor not to let the prince's hope be disappointed." ”
Jiang You coughed, grabbed the handle and said: "You Mo Si Khan is already twenty-six, but our Princess Changping is only sixteen years old. She thought for a while and said, "It's better to choose one of the important ministers in the court to marry someone of the same age and willingly." ”
As soon as these words came out, the minds of many ministers at the bottom were overflowing, and some of them felt sorry for their daughters, but they had a calculation in their hearts, but Bu Yan said: "Your Majesty, we are a prince after all, how can we take the daughters of ministers at will, is he not worthy of the bloodline of the Great Qi clan?" ”
Jiang You was made to sink his face by his repeated refusals: "You just took Princess Wencheng as an example, then I want to ask, the dowry brought by Princess Wencheng has strengthened the national strength of Tubo, but it has made Tubo eyeing the Tang Dynasty, can you Tatars also have the intention of emulating Tubo?" ”
Bu Yan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Minister, the minister naturally doesn't dare." He is arrogant and arrogant, although he bends over and bends his knees for a while, it doesn't mean that he is really a person who is willing to bow his head, the ruthlessness in his bones came up, and his eyes stared at Jiang You fiercely: "The minister is really on behalf of the Mosi Khan to ask to marry the princess, and the emperor is the lord of the court, why make things difficult everywhere?" ”
Jiang You said with a cold face: "The princesses of Daqi are all used to being respected in the palace, and they can't say anything to run to a barren land to suffer like that." ”
The anger in Bu Yan's eyes flashed, but he laughed for a long time: "Since the emperor is reluctant to marry the princess far away, the minister has a way, which can not only let me Tatar and the court conclude a marriage, but also avoid the pain of the princess." As soon as he arched his hand, his gaze fell on Jiang You unabashedly: "I heard that the emperor has not yet married the queen into the palace, so it is better for me to send a man worthy of the emperor in terms of identity and appearance to fill the emperor's harem, what do you think?" He smiled flirtatiously: "If the emperor is willing, the minister is willing to recommend himself." ”
Jiang You glanced at him expressionlessly: "I am the son of the Great Qi Heaven, how can I marry a man of a different race as the queen, isn't it a joke?" She turned the wine glass in her hand and sneered again: "If you insist on stuffing people, you can also pull them into the palace to be a male pet of a gentleman and concubine without rank, and it will be difficult to say when the time comes." ”
When she said this, Xue Yuan glanced over with a smile, her back tightened, and she had to grit her teeth and endure it.
Bu Yan's face was so angry that his face turned pale, and he stiffened his body and returned to his original place, Changping saw that Jiang You had bitten to death and did not let go, and let out a long sigh at the table in front of him, but he didn't have the heart to watch the song and dance anymore.
Jiang You saw that Bu Yan'an was divided, and took advantage of the temporary break in singing and dancing, and was about to say a few words to everyone, when Bu Yan, a thing that is not long-eyed, opened his mouth again: "Your Majesty, Yingge Yan Dance is good, but I have grown up fighting on horseback, and I always feel that something is missing when I see Song and Dance Shengping, so it is better to ask the emperor to choose a warrior from Daqi to compete with us in equestrianism, which can be regarded as our waiting for the emperor to accompany the wine." ”
Over the years, the Tatars and Daqi have fought many times, although the Daqi has a slight advantage, but there is no overwhelming advantage, especially the Tatars are proficient in equestrianism, which is far inferior to the Han sergeants, these situations Jiang You naturally knows, he clearly proposed to be more equestrian than the equestrian is to slap Daqi's face in front of everyone, not to agree is cowardly, and if he agrees, it will be more embarrassing if he loses.
I thought it was a fool, but I didn't expect it to be a sharp one, Jiang You squinted slightly, and listened to Bu Yan smile, his eyes swept around her, and finally settled on the dragon pattern jade pendant on his waist, and arched his hand at her: "The jade pendant on the emperor's body is shining, it is not an ordinary product at first glance, and it is also a thing worn by the emperor. ”
Although this jade pendant is rare, it is not worth even the city, but the dragon pattern engraved on it is of great significance, not to mention that she wears it closely, what does it look like for a man of different races to take it back?
Some ministers immediately stood up and shared their worries for the emperor and said: "The Tatar envoys don't know the rules of my Daqi, and such a fierce thing as dancing and playing sticks is really not suitable for performing at the birthday banquet, so it is better to ask the envoys to change the project."
Jiang You's temperament is strange that he should not fight at this time, she waved her hand and motioned for the minister to sit down, and suddenly saw Xue Yuan get up, took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, since the Tatar envoys insist on comparing, the ministers are willing to ask the Tatar envoys to appreciate the tricks of the Tatar envoys." ”
As soon as he spoke, more than a dozen generals in the hall stood up, and among them were Zhen Guogong and Zhang Dongzheng.
Bu Yan saw Xue Yuan get up first, and his face couldn't help but look amazing, although he had seen Xue Yuan's portrait, but how could the portrait compare to the demeanor of one ten-thousandth of the deity? But then he looked contemptuous, no matter how powerful Xue Yuan was, he was just a eunuch, daring to respond to his battle was simply looking for death, his eyes swept over Xue Yuan's white skin and Danyan's red lips, and the contempt under his eyes was even more obvious.
Jiang You was stunned, and when he saw Xue Yuan looking at Bu Yan without saying a word, his eyes were a little gloomy, knowing that he was really angry, he coughed and said, "Then Xue Qing will fight." She turned her head to look at Bu Yan: "It's really not suitable for dancing and playing sticks at the birthday banquet, so let's decide the winner in one game, who are you going to send to fight?" ”
Bu Yan said proudly: "Naturally, it is the ministers who personally go to battle to be worthy of the identity of Gonggong Xue." ”
Jiang You glanced at him lightly: "If the palm print wins, what will you use as a lottery?" ”
Bu Yan also stayed at the border pass, knowing how weak the equestrian skills of the Qi Dynasty were, he never thought that he would lose, and laughed when he heard this: "The emperor will give whatever the minister wants, even if he lets the minister enter the palace to serve the minister, he is also happy." ”
Jiang You sighed: "If I want your head, will you give it too?" She saw Bu Yan's face frozen suddenly, raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and whispered a few words, and after a while, Ma Chengcheng smiled and walked over with a woman's clothes and skirt and a pair of embroidered shoes, she pointed to the pile of things: "If you lose, put on this and walk back to the post house for me." ”
Bu Yantie walked out with a blushing face, Xue Yuan glanced at Jiang You with a light smile, and also ordered someone to prepare a horse, got up and went outside the hall, and when the two of them were ready, Jiang You took everyone out to watch the battle.
Bu Yan was annoyed and angry, but he didn't think he would lose at all, and he would lose to such a eunuch who was neither male nor female, but then things proved that he had to believe some things if he didn't believe it, he turned over and got on the horse, smiled at Xue Yuan, and rushed over the horse first, but he didn't expect that he felt that something was wrong when he looked at him, his methods were so fierce that people couldn't resist it, and the tricks were aimed at the key points, which made people take care of themselves.
Xue Yuan held the long sword in his hand, and there was no expression on his face, but when he lowered his eyes and saw the cheap mouth that spit out wild words, he slapped it fiercely with the spine of the sword with his backhand, and his lips were red and swollen this time, and his handsome face was crooked by half, and he felt that his teeth were a little loose.
There is a saying that beating people does not slap their faces, and scolding people does not expose their shortcomings, but Xue Yuan specially looked at his face, and in a blink of an eye, he had a long nosebleed, his face was swollen, and he couldn't say anything vaguely, Bu Yan was not a vegetarian, so he naturally fought back, but he saw that Xue Yuan didn't even frown after being hit a few times, and the offensive was still fierce.
Xue Yuan saw that he had almost beaten the person, and kicked Bu Yan off the horse with one kick, and pointed obliquely at the tip of his sword: "You lost." Immediately, several attendants brought warm water, towels and other things for him to clean his hands.
Bu Yan's face turned blue and pale, Jiang You saw the battle situation here, ordered someone to throw the woman's dress on him, and said in time: "Don't forget to change your clothes." ”
Immediately, a few guards who were eyeing each other greeted them, and looking at that look, if Bu Yan dared to deny it, they would immediately be able to strip people naked and replace them with them.
Jiang You was in a good mood, and after taking people back to the palace, she drank two glasses of wine in a row before announcing the end of the banquet, she didn't drink much, and when she returned to the Qianqing Palace, she was already a little drunk, and she saw everything a little blurry, knowing that she bumped into someone to distinguish by smell: "Palm print" and then leaned on him, and didn't bother to leave.
Xue Yuan simply picked her up and entered the dormitory, but his voice was faint: "The emperor leaned over like this, not afraid of recognizing the wrong person?" ”
Jiang You's mind was a little confused, and he was stunned for a long time before he explained seriously: "The taste of palm prints is different from others, and I smell it." ”
These words made Xue Yuan's face soothe slightly, and he teased: "Is the emperor a dog?" ”
Jiang You's mind was still confused, and he snorted: "Hu, nonsense!" I belong to the tiger, I eat meat! Whew! ”
Xue Yuan couldn't help laughing, and was afraid that she would be drunk, so he ordered someone to cook sobering soup and feed her by hand, and when she was sober, he smiled casually: "The emperor knows Na Buyan?" ”
Jiang You finally found a little bit back on himself, thinking of what he said just now, he was busy holding his forehead and ashamed of himself, and only then did he be embarrassed when he asked: "I was hit by him in the Buddhist temple last time, and then I ordered someone to put him in prison, and the palm print asked what this is for?" ”
Xue Yuan raised his lips with a half-smile: "The emperor's kung fu to attract bees and butterflies is too powerful, which makes Na Buyan miss the emperor and want to enter the palace to serve one by one, and the minister wants to ask clearly, what else does the emperor owe to the peach blossom debt that has not been repaid, so as to save the ministers from worrying." ”
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at Jiang You carefully, and saw that her long hair was scattered, her apricot eyes were slightly sparse, her cheeks were red and glamorous like floating clouds, and her elegant and graceful posture was difficult to describe. At the beginning, Empress Zhang made Xiaozong fall in love at first sight, and even Han Dayjin, who was far away in the south, was fascinated, but she didn't expect the little emperor to let it go, it was really a disaster in the same vein. When he thought of this, he suddenly felt extremely annoyed in his heart
Jiang You looked at him with a confused look in his eyes, and said boldly: "Where are there other peach blossom debts besides the palm print?" ”
Sure enough, he was a lot bolder after drinking, and he dared to speak and tease, Xue Yuan leaned over and kissed her earlobe: "I owe a debt, but I have to pay it back, how does the emperor plan to pay it back?" ”
Jiang You tilted his head slightly, knowing that he shouldn't, he still bit his lip uncontrollably, and said vaguely: "The palm print also owes me a peach blossom debt, and the two debts are offset, so I won't pay it back." ”
Still drunk Jiang You is more interesting, Xue Yuan held her in his arms, Jiang You was panting by his kiss, he was more sober, he wanted to break out, and then fell into his arms and gasped, unable to say a word, and only said slowly for a while: "Suffocation." ”
Her legs kicked like jumping down, Xue Yuan rested his chin on her shoulder, frowned and said, "The minister is injured, don't move the emperor." ”
Jiang You remembered that he had indeed taken a few hits, and said with concern: "The palm print is okay, right?" ”
Xue Yuan lightly relaxed his muscles and bones, and his brows tightened a little: "I always feel that my qi and blood are not smooth, don't fall into any problems." He didn't hurry and put his face to face with her: "But the minister was injured for the emperor, not to mention the root of the disease, even if he went like this, he was willing." He rubbed her thin waist as he spoke.
Jiang You didn't have the time to say anything about him eating tofu, and said a little nervously and suspiciously: "So strict? ”
Xue Yuan looked at her with a concerned and chaotic look, and his heart was stunned, and he said lazily: "Please ask the emperor to help the ministers rub it a few times, and it should be fine to open your muscles and bones." ”
Jiang You tilted his head to look at him: "You can just find a few people to press at random, why do you have to be me?" ”
Xue Yuan frowned and said, "The people under that kid are stupid, what if they collide?" ”
Jiang You was a little unconvinced, but he was afraid that he would really hurt something, so he nodded hesitantly and said, "Okay then, why are you taking off your clothes?" ”
Dressed lightly in the summer, he tore off the python robe and middle coat on his body in a blink of an eye, and looked at her with a flattering look: "How can you press it well through the clothes?" Besides, isn't the emperor always curious about the minister's body? Don't you want to take the opportunity to take a closer look? ”
Jiang You hurriedly pressed his hand on the jade belt around his waist: "When did I want to see your body?" She was afraid that he would get excited and take it off, so she turned around and asked him to lie down on the chaise longa, took the medicinal wine and poured it into the palm of her hand, and pressed it carefully on him, the amber wine seeped into the texture, and in a blink of an eye, it was plain white.
Her hands were a little light and heavy, and in a blink of an eye, several red handprints floated on her white jade-like skin, densely connected together, Xue Yuan made a sour demeanor, Jiang You stopped and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
He lifted his chin and rested on her soft legs: "You'er helps me with my own hands, no matter how light or heavy, it's good." ”
