The moonlight is hazy, the evening breeze blows the palace lamps and swayes, and the fragrance is mottled on the ground.

Emperor Xiao suddenly visited Xiaoyexuan, and Gu Yunyao and the palace attendants knelt down to greet him.

Emperor Xiao was full of joy and high spirits, stretched out his arms to help Gu Yunyao, who was prostrate in the hall, and couldn't wait to ask her:

"Yao'er, something new suddenly appeared in the palace just now, have you heard of it?"

Gu Yunyao was half-embraced by Emperor Xiao, her eyebrows were lowered, her expression was gentle and a little shy, her delicate lips were pursed with the fragrance of cherry blossoms, and she replied lightly:

"The concubine heard that at sunset, a team of chariots and horses suddenly came in the palace, and the momentum was magnificent. The capital is strictly governed by palace rules, and foreign cars and horses are not allowed to enter the outer city. Now, it's the first thing I've heard of. ”

Emperor Xiao smiled "hehe", his expression was like a spring breeze, and he said loudly:

"This Leng Qingtang does have some means. I thought that if he was beaten, he must be recuperating in the mansion. How could I have imagined that people have not been idle in the past three months, and secretly handled a major case of speculative dereliction of duty in other provinces. This time, the cart was led into the imperial city, and the cart was loaded with three million taels of stolen silver! ”

Gu Yunyao looked at Emperor Xiao intently, and listened to him patiently with a smile.

As an informant of Leng Qingtang, she naturally knew some things earlier than Emperor Xiao. Moreover, an hour ago, the truth about the things that the chariots and horses entered the palace had already caused a sensation in the entire harem.

At the moment, Gu Yunyao pretended not to know, it was just because the emperor was too overjoyed, and she knew that she couldn't defeat his interest, so she had to deliberately pretend to be stupid.

After Emperor Xiao finished speaking, Gu Yunyao immediately raised the carefully painted autumn eyebrows high, and the bottom of his eyes was bright and surprised:

"Huh? That's a lot of silver taels! The concubines really want to congratulate the emperor and solve a big worry, which is indeed a happy event for the country and the people. ”

After leaving the mind of Emperor Xiao, he will be blessed.

Emperor Xiao smiled and clasped her jade wrist to prevent her from saluting. Hand in hand with her, he paced quietly towards the sandalwood tea case, and said:

"This case was handled in a timely manner! Before the white disaster in Jiang'an and the pacification of northern Xinjiang, the treasury was empty of a lot of silver.

On the birthday of the eldest princess last year, I sent an envoy to Xiyi Wudan to send congratulatory gifts, and the treasury was drawn from the bottom of the kettle. was worried, and he Leng Qingtang came to give me silver, and the amount was quite considerable! ”

The eldest princess of Anhe, Hua Nanyue, was originally the eldest sister of Emperor Xiao. Many years ago, in order to establish diplomatic relations between Gu Dayi and Xiyi Wudan, he married away and became the side concubine of the current king of Wudan, Suo Luo Yeli.

Serving Emperor Xiao sat down in front of the tea case, Gu Yunyao's eyebrows were smeared with a light smile:

"The emperor is kind-hearted, and he values Confucianism and Taoism, and even the gods in the sky are helping you."

Emperor Xiao nodded, and suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly between his eyebrows for a while, his eyes were slightly lower, and he said in a deep voice:

"Huh...... To say that this Leng Qingtang is really capable, but his temper is becoming more and more weird and uninhibited. I just passed him into the palace, and I had the intention to appease him by solving the case. Who knew that he dared to refuse to enter the palace to see me on the grounds that he was ill. I don't know what to do, or I don't know how to fight! If you look for him one day, I will reward him with some more sticks! ”

Gu Yunyao was fiddling with the large and small delicate tea sets on the case, and when she heard this, she raised her eyes to look at the emperor, smiled a little helplessly, and called in a long voice:

"The Emperor"

Bringing the freshly cooked hot tea to him, she comforted him in a harmonious voice:

"There are also people who have no roots and have an impermanent temperament. Why does the emperor need to be as knowledgeable as a eunuch. I think it was because he knew that his previous dereliction of duty and laziness made the emperor frightened at the palace banquet, and he still feels guilty. He hid from you today, is it possible that he will hide from you for the rest of his life? However, the concubine guessed that if the emperor didn't love and hate the admiral of the Dongchang factory, how could he care so much about his every word and deed? ”

Emperor Xiao was drinking tea, and he was about to laugh when he heard this. Looking up again, I saw that Gu Yunyao was covering her mouth with her brocade sleeves and smiling, she hurriedly put down the teacup, stretched out her hand and pointed, and couldn't help but smile:

"Yao'er is getting more and more naughty, and even I have to make fun. Okay, okay, I'll see how I punish you later! ”

Seeing that her palace clothes had not faded, she asked in surprise:

"It's already time to settle, why hasn't the concubine removed her makeup and freshened up?"

Gu Yunyao's eyes were full of color, and her smile was charming. It is up to the emperor

Bow down at your feet, and your voice is soft:

"The concubine didn't know that the emperor was arriving tonight, and she lost her demeanor without preparation, and I hope the emperor will forgive her sins.

Thinking that the imperial concubine's birthday is approaching, the concubine has just ordered someone to take out the many treasures in Xiaoye Xuan, thinking about choosing the best as a birthday gift. You can choose left and right, and you can't always make up your mind......"

Emperor Xiao smiled lightly, pulled Gu Yunyao up, fell into his arms again, and said to her:

"She, what good things haven't you played? Yao'er doesn't have to worry about this matter, just take out one casually.

If you are still not satisfied, I will order someone to select fresh things from the Shanggong Bureau and bring them to your palace, and you will present them on the birthday of the imperial concubine. ”

Gu Yunyao leaned over and sat on the emperor's lap, her lips curled sadly, and a mist gathered between her eyebrows:

"Hey! The concubines know their own depths, and they are not as good as the imperial concubines in terms of their backgrounds. Niangniang's mother's family is a huge businessman in Dayi, and her family is wealthy. The daughter is really pampered, and she has indeed seen a lot of good things.

Every time the concubine thinks of this, she is always panicked in her heart. I am afraid that the birthday gift sent is too shabby, and I will dislike the mother at the birthday banquet, and I will also be laughed at by the concubines. ”

"I see how dare them?!"

Seeing that the beauty was sad, Emperor Xiao was distressed, raised his voice an octave with a white face, and then grabbed Gu Yunyao, his expression melted, and he coaxed with a smile:

"Yao'er's talent and virtue are unmatched, and I know it in my heart. If you talk about the gentle and graceful, the harem will belong to you except for the queen. Although you don't have a mother's home to live by, but there is me in the palace to shelter, so you don't have to sigh in vain. ”

"Yes, the concubine Xie Emperor is compassionate."

Gu Yunyao replied shallowly, pressed the delicate cheeks rubbed with apricot blossom powder against Emperor Xiao's chest, and rubbed them twice, and the soft and slightly itchy feeling made the emperor's heart ripple for a while.

Gu Yunyao's mist between her eyebrows was relieved at this time, and she whispered:

"The concubines have been favored by the emperor since they entered the palace, and they have been taken care of by the queen, so they are naturally grateful to Dade at all times, serve the emperor wholeheartedly, and dare not slack off...... It's just that the concubine is also a woman, and she often chats with the harem sisters. At that time, when I heard them mention the imperial concubine between their words, there would be a lot of envy in my heart......"

"Oh? What did they say? ”

Emperor Xiao asked in a charming voice, holding Gu Yunyao's slender waist tightly with one hand, and walking around her body with the other hand through several layers of clothes.

"Zuo just said some dioramas that can show people's appearance, jewelry boxes that can sing for themselves, those all kinds of things, the concubines have not seen or heard of before, and they always feel novel. When Ming'er went to the palace of the imperial concubine with her sisters to greet her, she must take a serious look.

However, the most talked about by the concubines recently is the house that Kagura Marquis is building in Nanyuan.

I heard that there are some three-storey attics, with colorful glazed tiles as the roof, golden cushions, and the cellar where the ice is hidden in the house is piled up with a whole fine jade stone. How much financial resources do you have to support such an imposing mansion?

The mother's family is still like this, and the concubine chose the birthday gift for the mother, so she naturally has to be a hundred times more cautious and carefully selected. ”

Gu Yunyao suddenly fell silent, she already felt Emperor Xiao's palm roaming freely on her delicate body suddenly paused.

Turning his head silently, he saw that the emperor's complexion was stiff, and there seemed to be a dark shadow floating between his eyebrows.

Dayi State has strictly customized the size and architectural pattern of the mansions of Wenchen and military generals.

Although the Marquis of Kagura is the imperial prince, but he does not reach the title of prince, how can the building in the palace be as high as three floors?

After a moment of thought, the emperor said softly:

"How could this be?"

A trace of awe flashed in Gu Yunyao's eyes, and the light was sharp and complex.

After a leisurely conversation, she finished the matter that Leng Qingtang had explained

If the lips are smiling, the jade arms are raised, gently intertwined behind the emperor's neck, and the eyes are shining towards the emperor, as charming as a fairy who has entered the world:

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Emperor Xiao didn't answer, but only looked at Gu Yunyao intently.

I saw that her eyes were clear and clear, and her expression was ambiguous and pious. The snow-white cheeks were stained by two faint red glows, and I thought I couldn't stand the teasing of his caresses.

On the crystal cherry lips, the fragrance of lipstick went straight into the emperor's nose, and finally made his heart ripple more and more

It's messy.

Bowing his head violently, Emperor Xiao took the beauty's lips in his mouth, and wiped the pink lipstick on it in a blink of an eye. hugged her and got up, he hurried towards the dormitory, all the way to her coquettish voice in a pinching voice:

"Your Majesty, the concubines haven't removed their makeup yet...... Emperor! ”

……

At dawn, Ai Qing led ten of his guards to escort a carriage into the Hidden Mountain Emperor's Mausoleum area.

Hidden Mountain, located in the northwest suburbs of Gyeonggi, Dayi, is surrounded by the Hu'an River on three sides. Because it is a treasure land surrounded by mountains and rivers, Dayi was selected as the holy place of imperial tombs by the ancestor emperor at the beginning of the country. So far, a total of 25 emperors of the Dayi Kingdom have been buried here.

Cross the white jade bridge of the Hu'an River and go up the mountain road. The road is flat and open, lined with lush cypresses.

The convoy walked up the mountain for a short time, and then saw a majestic and towering white jade archway.

The pattern carving on the archway is delicate and original. In the middle is a gilt plaque engraved with the word "hidden mountain", which is brilliant under the light gauze and is particularly eye-catching.

There are several people standing under the archway, and among the two people at the head, one is wearing a dark red court uniform, and the other is a navy green regular dress, with a sword hanging from his waist. Seeing Ai Qing leading the carriage up the mountain, he hurriedly walked up to meet him.

Ai Qingmai dismounted and saluted the two of them with fists:

"I've seen Gonggong Hu and Li Xiaojun in Xia Aiqing."

"You don't have to be polite to block your head," so my father-in-law waved his hand and said suddenly:

"Now that the person has been rescued, wait for our family and Master Li to see it. Later, the two of us can also rush back to the palace as soon as possible and report to the emperor and queen. ”

"Please move, two."

Ai Qing led the way. In front of the carriage, the coachman raised the curtain, and Gonggong Hu and Li Xiaojun looked into the carriage one after another.

The two delicate-looking women were both dressed as ordinary peasant girls.

A trembling look at the face of a stranger who suddenly appeared in front of the car door, trembling with fright, and exclaiming in a sullen voice.

The other looked glazed-eyed, and instead of panicking when he saw the living person, he grinned loudly, and he didn't know what to say.

Falling off the car curtain, Ai Qing said to Hu and Li:

"These two people were rescued by the secret guards of Dongchang from the Rongguo in southern Xinjiang, and one was poisoned and dumb, wandering around with the juggling camel team of the Rongguo. A slave in a border guard camp, who had been severely beaten and abused, was already stupid. There is another whose whereabouts are still unknown, and the Secret Guard has also abandoned the rescue operation. ”

"Hey! What a wickedness! ”

Gonggong Hu's face was full of bitterness and hatred, sighed deeply, and slowly shook his head.

Li Xiaojun said at this time:

"It's because Lord Leng ordered in advance, and he was afraid that such a woman would be shocked, so he didn't dare to rush into the palace.

The emperor also considered this, and thought that I and Gonggong Hu were both present on the day of the Spring Banquet, so he sent the two of us to meet with him on behalf of the saint. What I have seen now can be proved by the two of us, and I will report truthfully to the emperor and queen when I go back. ”

Ai Qing greeted again:

"This matter still needs to rely on the two of you, there is work! I also heard that after the tribute girl returned to the court, it was Gonggong Hu who admonished her in front of the emperor to save the lives of the two of them. Ai Qing is here, and thanked Gonggong Hu on behalf of the two of them. ”

According to the precepts of Dayi Palace, although the tribute girl did not serve the saint, her body was humiliated and defiled, and she would be punished by death.

I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me!

Leng Qingtang tried his best to save the two tribute girls, naturally he didn't want them to worry about their lives as soon as they returned to China. Rather than that, it would be better to leave them in a foreign land!

So, Leng Qingtang entrusted Gonggong Hu to find an opportunity to advise the emperor and the queen, and try to save the lives of the two tribute girls.

coincided with the 100th day of Concubine Xu's son, and Gonggong Hu took the opportunity to admonish, and the emperor did not want to create another killing karma, so he exempted the two from the death penalty and served as food for the soul guards. What the future holds, and it depends on their creation.

Gonggong Hu waved his hand, his eyes returned to the carriage with the door curtain closed, and his expression was quite solemn:

"It is not their will to be captive by the strongman, although they are dirty, they are the people of Dayi. The old slave only did his best, and I only hope that this matter will end here, whether it is the Lord Leng or the tribute girl, everything will go smoothly from this matter, and there will be no more tribulations. 2k reading network
