Changping sat in the quiet room of the Buddhist temple drinking the tea prepared by the temple, and suddenly heard the door shaft 'creak', and saw a slender figure step in, in order to find a quiet, a cadre of guards were sent out far away, at this time also showed a panicked face, and the maid next to him reprimanded loudly: "Who are you?!" Dare to surprise our princess? ”

Zhang Dongzheng didn't expect that there were still people here, and when he saw that it was Princess Changping, he hurriedly saluted and said, "It's rude, and the princess is abrupt." ”

He also came here today to know that Mrs. Zhang's new daughter from a family also came to the Buddhist temple to offer incense, he was Zhang Donglan came over and wanted him to see the woman's appearance first, but he was rigorous, of course he didn't want to, and he was afraid of bumping into the girl, so he had to find a room to hide in.

Changping saw that he was gentle and polite, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, not more frivolous and flattering than the gentlemen in Beijing, and his expression eased when he heard the words, and said gently: "Little Grandpa Zhang is also an unintentional mistake, don't be too worried, what happened to make Gongzi so flustered?" ”

Zhang Dongzheng raised his eyes and saw that her eyebrows and eyes were elegant, although she was not extremely gorgeous facial features, but she had an elegant and indifferent, and her demeanor was also dignified, he was slightly surprised, and was about to answer, when he heard a woman's cry, the two looked out the window, and saw a young woman with a blue and mottled face being helped away.

This injury looked like he had been beaten, Changping frowned and said, "Who would give such a heavy hand to a weak woman?" ”

There was a little novice who was waiting next to him and replied with a wry smile on his face: "If you go back to the princess, it is the little Tatar Khan Buyan who visited our temple, and this female benefactor is the concubine of the little khan." He bowed and said, "The little Khan of Buyan is in the backyard now. ”

Changping was a little flustered, and suddenly got up and walked out - Jiang You was also in the backyard, and her temper was hard to ensure that she wouldn't cause anything.

Jiang You looked at Bu Yan on the opposite side with a calm face: "You dare to make a move in the realm of Daqi?" ”

At this time, the backyard had already surrounded Jiang You and Bu Yan in the middle for a circle of Tatar guards, and he raised his hand and patted it: "All stand back, don't be abrupt." He made a graceful appearance and grabbed Jiang You's arm: "I said, I just want to ask the girl to accompany me to visit the Buddhist temple." ”

He was holding her wrist, even through the overlapping clothes can feel the soft touch, his heart can't help but swing, haha laughed: "Girl, don't worry, I won't let the girl accompany you in vain, when the girl goes to Tartary, I also invite you to my house to talk for a night, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

Jiang You was about to call someone in to beat this short-eyed person, when she saw Changping with a maidservant, followed by Zhang Dongzheng, she raised her eyes and saw Jiang You being held by his hand and standing at the head of the bridge, and was taken aback and said loudly: "Stop!" Who are you?! Why do you scare my sister? ”

Bu Yan saw that the new woman came out, although her appearance was not as good as the one in her hand, but her demeanor and bearing did not lose anything, and laughed: "It turned out to be two sisters, very good, very good, so please accompany me with the two sisters." ”

The Tatars have never had any frivolous and rude concepts, as long as they look at it, even other people's wives can be snatched back, and those who are lustful will not even let go of their own father's concubines.

As he spoke, one of the guards was about to arrest Changping, but Zhang Dongzheng's face sank, and as soon as he grabbed the guard, he turned over and fell on his stomach, snatching the knife on his body and holding it across his chest, and one person and more than two dozen people were in a stalemate, making Changping look at him worriedly.

Jiang You was so angry that he couldn't hide his identity, his middle finger and thumb pinched and gave a long whistle, and before Bu Yan could react, more than a dozen people from the brocade guards rushed in over the wall, and immediately started with Bu Yan's guards.

These people can be selected to be on duty in front of the emperor, and their kung fu is naturally one in a hundred, although the number is small, but it is still three times and five divided by two to let Bu Yan's guards lie on the ground, he suddenly changed his face, looked Jiang You up and down and said, "You, you are?" ”

Jiang You didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and raised his chin and said, "Beat him up for me." ”

Before Bu Yan could react, he was surrounded by a few brocade guards who knelt on his knees and fell to the ground, and a few people lifted it harder, and he pouted and lay on the ground, although he raised his hand to parry, but he couldn't stand the overwhelming fists and feet, and in a blink of an eye, a pair of blue eyes were turned into panda eyes, and Jun's face was blue and purple.

Jiang You shouted to stop, Bu Yan subconsciously wanted to break free of the shackles of a few brocade guards, but was trampled to the ground by a small foot wearing brocade boots against his collarbone, he looked over with tears in his eyes, and saw Jiang You looking at him coldly, she stepped on him: "I remember that a group of envoys have come from Tatar, who are you?" It's a fake."

Bu Yan gritted his teeth and didn't answer, and one of the brocade guards immediately kicked him in the waist, this kick was so fast and hard that he almost screamed, and he slowed down before saying, "I am the cousin of the Ninth Prince, Bu Yan, not Empress Jiang." ”

Jiang You immediately understood, this Jiang Hou is also a strange woman, she was originally the daughter of a minister, more than 20 years ago was Xiaozong named a princess and gave the surname Jiang to Tatar and relatives, and later the Tatar Khan was seriously ill, she gave birth to a son, and it was logical to take over the internal affairs of Tatar, but she is a Han princess in the end, although she occupies a name, but there are many people who oppose it below, especially the Khan's younger brother Mo Si is the most fiercely opposed, so Tatar is almost divided into two forces.

That Empress Jiang was nominally Jiang You's aunt, she sighed with some admiration, and ordered to the left and right: "Escort him to the heavenly prison." ”

Bu Yan was so frightened that he hurriedly struggled to get out of trouble, he came out this time to represent the face of the Tatars, if they were imprisoned before they could face the saints, their faces would be lost by him.

Jiang You ignored him, turned around and walked outside the courtyard: "Remember this person's name, and find an opportunity to put on a good pair of shoes for him." ”

In this way, everyone lost the interest in visiting the temple, Jiang You jumped into the carriage with a gloomy face, Changping and Zhang Dongzheng glanced at each other, and said goodbye to each other politely.

Changping has lived in the palace for so many years, and he is still a little afraid when he thinks of the scene of Fang Cai: "That Tartar is too arrogant, in the end, he is a barbarian, without education, fortunately, you took the guards out of the palace, otherwise I don't know how to end up today." ”

Jiang You sneered: "Our Great Qi Dynasty has always tolerated Tatars, he probably thinks that you and I are ordinary young ladies, even if you offend him, you can't do anything to him, it's not like this hasn't happened before, didn't it all end hastily?" ”

Changping sighed: "We are still like this, I don't know how sad those women who have kissed in the past should be." She thought of the Han woman just now: "It is really not easy for a Han woman. ”

Jiang You shook his head and said, "If you look at those Tatar women, they may not be much better, and they don't treat women as human beings." ”

Changping smiled bitterly and sighed: "All women in the world are bitter. ”

Jiang You returned to the palace and immediately instructed his subordinates: "Let the two Tatar envoys stay closer, and think of instigation, don't let the relationship between the two sides be too good, it is best to fight." ”

The people below did the same, and the summer was when the willow was sleepy, so she went to bathe after she ordered, and it was easy to wipe a few times after washing, and when the jade chime outside rang a few times, she woke up and found that something was wrong, and the half of the face next to the pillow was like wood, and even the corners of the mouth could not be moved.

She covered her face and said 'oops', and hurriedly ordered Hui Xue to find the imperial doctor, and while looking at her face in the bronze mirror, she found that half of her face was paralyzed, the corners of her eyes, mouth and cheeks were stiff, and she couldn't move if she wanted to.

She also thought that she had eaten something inappropriate and was poisoned, and when the doctor came, she learned that it was because her hair was not dried before going to bed, and the moisture entered her body, so she was a little paralyzed.

Jiang You had a needle on his face, and it was inconvenient to even drink water, at this time, Xue Yuan happened to come over to look at her, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her face with her sleeve and said, "Don't come here, I can't see people like this." ”

Xue Yuan lightly pulled away her hands and put them down, and couldn't help but smile when he saw her with silver needles on her face, but he still coaxed her and said: "The emperor is good-looking, how can he not meet people?" ”

Jiang You didn't dare to move, so he had to twist his body, turn his back to him and say, "Why did the palm print come over at this time?" ”

Xue Yuan pulled her shoulders and turned around: "I heard that the emperor invited the imperial doctor, and I thought something happened to the emperor, so I hurried over." After a slight pause, he continued: "The emperor sent the Tatar envoy to the prison today? ”

Jiang You waved his hand and said: "I just can't see his arrogant appearance in the capital, so I locked him in and let him suffer well, and he will still be released when the time comes." After she finished speaking, she carefully explained: "Now that the Tatar civil strife is not stopping, it is the time to ask for the Great Qi, and the majesty of killing him, the Tatar side will not dare to say more." She cleared her throat again, "Besides, this time Empress Jiang also sent an envoy, he just hated it in his heart, and he had to endure it for the sake of his reputation, and he couldn't talk to me like a shrew." ”

Xue Yuan smiled helplessly and sighed: "The emperor has been messing around for so many years, what did the minister say about you?" Why should you be careful to explain? He said that his heart sank slightly, and asked sideways: "The emperor has never worried about this, but he has been very concerned about political affairs recently?" ”

Jiang You saw his flashing haze, and waved his hand disapplausively: "I've been watching the excerpt for so much half a year, how can I not know it at all." ”

At this time, the imperial doctor came up and carefully pulled out the silver needle for her, and took the ointment to wipe her face, but Xue Yuan raised his hand to stop her, waved his hand to let the imperial doctor retreat, poured the ointment into his white and powerful hands, let her pill on her lap, and slowly pressed her fingertips.

Jiang You exhaled comfortably, closed his eyes slightly and enjoyed a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes again and said, "Don't worry about the palm print, I understand your thoughts, and I hope you can understand my intentions." After a slight pause, her eyes were bright and gentle, and it turned out to be a girl's unique attitude, and she seemed to have grown up in a blink of an eye: "The palm print in my heart is naturally different from others." ”

Xue Yuan is so suspicious of people, he can't get close to anyone, when he got close to her, he thought she was still a child, and her heart was pure, but then when she was embedded in her heart, it was too late to think □□about it. His anointed hand paused, and said with a wry smile: "The minister's suspicious temperament is difficult to change for a while, please Emperor Haihan." ”

Jiang You blinked, seemed to be a little contradictory and embarrassed, and only after a long time did he sigh, as if he was a little depressed, why did he have to be a eunuch? And he is also the most powerful eunuch in the world?

She sometimes thinks how good it would be if he were an ordinary son, she must marry him back to the palace, give him good food and drink every day, dress him up beautifully, and let the whole world know that he is hers. But this scene can only be imagined, and now the situation of the two is almost the opposite of what she thought.

Xue Yuanmo rubbed her delicate cheeks, gently rubbed her blood veins, noticed that her feelings were low, and sighed: "Does the emperor still dislike the half-crippled body of the minister?" ”

Jiang You's half face was still a little wooden, and he could only reply to him with one eye open: "I have to say something unpleasant, since the day I knew the palm prints, the palm prints are not all eunuchs, when did I dislike you?" ”

Xue Yuan paused, sometimes this kid spoke so straight that people didn't know how to answer, he spit out: "The emperor knows what the minister means." His face was stunned: "The happiness that ordinary women can get, ministers can't give the emperor." ”

Jiang You has seen the spring. Palace, still remembered on the incense. Yan Lu. Bone love. I want to draw, but after all, I've just seen it, and I still don't understand it. Why can you make people sink. She is in love. If you want to be ignorant, you don't think it's very important that men don't have that.

She scratched her head: "It's not that I don't like palm prints, it's just" She looked at Xue Yuanxi's face and said embarrassedly: "I am the emperor, I must have a bloodline inheritance, right?" ”

Every time she talked to him, she could speak straight to the center, Xue Yuan's face sank again, Jiang You knew that he had said the wrong thing again, but it was a matter of family and country, and what should be said had to be said, being the emperor was not good, some people obviously liked it very much, but they couldn't follow their temperament.

Xue Yuan looked at her worried eyes, and didn't know what to say, so he could only kiss her on the cheek and said, "What if the minister can let the emperor have a parent?" ”

Jiang You thought of that scene, glanced at him suspiciously, and thought of many people who eat children's brains and eat dead people's yang. Gu's rumors were startled and said, "Don't mess around!" ”

Xue Yuan helped her apply the last bit of medicine and hugged her in his arms: "The minister just wants to share the emperor's worries." He smiled, leaned over and rested his chin on her shoulder: "The minister has taken the emperor for so long, are you willing to watch the emperor give birth to someone else?" ”

Jiang You was also reluctant in his heart, and he didn't know how to persuade him to let go, so he could only curl up in his arms, and the two hugged each other and slept for a night.

The birthday banquet is also said to arrive, Jiang Yousheng in the summer, the day before yesterday just had a rain, it is a good time for 'affectionate peony with spring tears, powerless roses lying on the branches', the sound of cicadas from the Qianqing Palace all the way to the Jiaotai Palace, a number of flower branches are full of low-hanging dew, and the dew is hanging on it, and it is a clear but not complicated splendid scenery from a distance.

Jiang You went to Jiaotai Hall in the evening to stay, and what surprised her was that Changping somehow walked in with Zhang Dongzheng, but due to the rules, there was a distance between them, but the two of them had a shallow smile on their faces, and they seemed to have a good conversation.

She was amazed, the first to come up were a few princes who came to congratulate her birthday, then the powerful family and the important ministers of the court, and finally the envoys of various countries were led to the table by the people of the Ministry of Rites. She sat upright and saw Bu Yan see her, her face obviously showed a look of surprise and shock, but after a while, she returned to normal, bent down to her and saluted: "Tatar envoy Bu Yan, wish the Holy Emperor a long life and a boundless holy body Kangtai, and the fortune of the country will be prosperous!" ”

Jiang You's gaze swept over him faintly, still letting him continue to bend: "Where are the officials of the Ministry of Rites?" She saw the people from the Ministry of Rites hurriedly stand up: "It is said that the envoys should be taught etiquette by the Ministry of Rites, why don't the Tatar envoys kneel when they see me?" ”

Seeing that it was indeed a loss of honor for the emperor not to kneel and bow, seeing that the emperor didn't care about it, one of the tall envoys behind Bu Yan shouted: "Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, our Tatar etiquette, see that people can't bow and bow, I"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang You gently knocked on the table, and the two imperial guards smashed his knee with the handle of the knife, forcing him to kneel.

Jiang You set his eyes on Bu Yan again, but saw him kneeling calmly, and said the greetings again, and even made a five-body bow, and then thanked Jiang You: "The minister is the first time to see the true face of the Son of Heaven, and he was impressed by the emperor's bearing for a while, so he forgot to salute, and I hope that the emperor will not be surprised, and the minister will make up for it." Although he is lustful and domineering, he also knows when to be an uncle and when to pretend to be a grandson.

This person can be regarded as bending and stretching, Jiang You glanced at him in surprise, and had to ease his expression and let him take a seat. The Tatars sent two groups of envoys this time, and the one sent by Empress Jiang turned out to be a girl, which made people look sideways.

As soon as Bu Yan took his seat, he ate and drank without scruples, and sprinkled a lot of wine and delicacies on his clothes, not only that, but also praised the palace and the capital, looking poor and sour that had never seen the world, so that many jealous ministers were jealous, and their eyes showed contempt, and those who had good things could not help but whisper.

Jiang You ordered Ma Cheng to summon singing and dancing, and when he saw his appearance, he also felt that this person had no city government, he was a reckless man and a womanizer, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, and he always felt that he was a little deliberate when he made a fool of himself, not like a real vulgar person.

She swept Bu Yan with cold eyes, turned her head to Cheng Shu, the woman sent by Empress Jiang, and said with a pleasant face: "Although you are also an envoy of Tatars, you know the rules and etiquette, which is much better than others. She was a little not fluent in her official accent, and coughed a few times before pointing to a pot of 'Golden Wind and Jade Dew' on the table: "I am very satisfied with you, and this pot of wine will be rewarded to you." ”

Cheng Shu respectfully thanked the reward, looked at Bu Yan with the wine jug, and said respectfully to Jiang You: "If you go back to the emperor, although the minister has lived in Tatar for many years, he has been taught in the future, and he also knows a little bit about Han etiquette. ”

Jiang You expressed great satisfaction to her upper path, and then the bead curtain that blocked his face looked at Bu Yan, and saw that although the smile on his face was not reduced, there was obviously a ruthless color flashing in his eyes, and the hatred between the forces on both sides of Empress Jiang and the Nine Princes had accumulated for many years, and she had been deliberately instigated by her in the capital for a long time.

She was a little proud, but she touched her chin and pondered, 'The bird will strike, and the wings will be low', what is he showing weakness and flattering like this?

When she encountered something she couldn't figure out, she subconsciously went to see Xue Yuan, and saw him sitting on a python chair not far from her, the vermilion tassel hanging down on his shoulders, and a little jade in the crown and hat lined his face as white as jade, his lips were red, but he could only be seen in the room full of clothes and sideburns. Jiang You looked a little distracted, and when he saw him look over, he hurriedly came back to his senses, but saw him stand up and come to her: "Respect the emperor for a cup." ”

Jiang You hurriedly reached out to pick it up, and saw that he held her hand with his own cover, and his little finger drew a few times in the palm of his hand, she was so frightened that she hurriedly looked around, but saw that he was a little closer, his face was dignified and solemn, but there was a smile in his eyes: "Why doesn't the emperor drink?" ”

Jiang You dried the wine in one gulp, and then held the glass to show him, he sat down with his wide sleeves raised, she was depressed, why did she provoke her if she had nothing to do?

At this time, Bu Yan suddenly stood up, the congratulatory gift sent by the envoy had been handed over to the Ministry of Rites, but he raised his hand and offered a congratulatory gift, opened the sandalwood box and turned out to be a pair of delicate longbows, he bowed to Jiang You and said: "The minister can see the emperor's demeanor today, and he admires the emperor very much in his heart. ”

He probably inquired, and this longbow was quite in line with Jiang You's wishes, but she didn't accept it, just looked at him coldly.

Bu Yan continued to praise her, until she boasted that the virtue and the three emperors were more than the five emperors, until Jiang You was dizzy when he heard it, he sighed: "Don't hide it from the emperor, the Great Qi Dynasty is a big country, and I live in a corner of Tatar, and I admire and admire the country and dynasty in my heart, and I just hate to stay in the country for a few more years to study." ”

After he finished speaking, he bowed again, and his eyes swept over Changping's face: "But I heard that there is a princess to be married in the last dynasty, virtuous and virtuous, graceful and luxurious, our little khan is twenty and six this year, and this princess matches her age, and the princess of ancient Wencheng entered Tibet, bringing cultural farming into Tibet, and passed it on as a good story, I don't know if the emperor is willing to cultivate Qin and Jin with me Tatar, and marry this princess into Tatar?" ”

Jiang You only then knew what he was deliberately showing weakness for, and glanced at Changping, who was sitting on the side with a pale face: "Princess Wencheng married Songtsan Gampo with the dignity of a princess, but she is only the identity of a side concubine, are you looking down on us Daqi?" ”

Bu Yan thought that she was mindful of her identity, and hurriedly said: "Mo Si Khan only has one side concubine, and the princess must be the concubine when she marries, and she will not be wronged by the princess." ”
