There was a solemn atmosphere in Chang'an City, just like the clouds of crows and crows in the sky, which made people a little breathless.

The news of the imminent collapse of the Jingyang embankment is still known to the city, and the entire "rescue yamen" and the 5,000 soldiers of the right military guard have already marched to Jingyang to protect the embankment, but the specific result is unknown. In the face of the mighty sky, what is the manpower?

Once the Jingyang embankment collapses, the surging flood will inevitably flow down the river with an unstoppable momentum and rush straight to Xianyang!

As the rear of Chang'an City and the place of Longxing in the past dynasties, Xianyang's status is not unimportant, if Xianyang is washed away by the flood, it will bring an unparalleled disaster to the entire Guanzhong, and even the entire Tang Dynasty center will be shocked.

The government and the opposition are all paying attention to the news of Jingyang.

*****

At the beginning of the unitary hour, the sky was already as dark as ink.

The rain is pouring down, the clouds are dark, the palace lamps have already been held in the Taiji Palace, and the lights of the various dormitories and pavilions are brilliant.

In a dormitory not far from the Shenlong Temple, the palace lights are like day.

The closed doors and windows will block the wind and rain, the bronze incense burner in the corner of the palace is burning sandalwood, the faint aroma will be warm and warm in the cold and humid air, a delicate brocade couch is placed in the room, there is a crystal clear glass vase on the carved lacquer table next to it, and a snow-white and moist begonia is obliquely inserted in it.

The Wei Guifei lay on her side on the couch, her slender and plump delicate body outlined undulating lines, and the smooth skin was hidden under the thin silk clothes, which added charm under the light.

Although he is already in his forties, his well-maintained face is still captivating, his eyebrows are picturesque, his skin is better than snow, and his bright eyes are full of charm and charm that a young girl must not have, a pair of snow-white delicate feet poke out under the hem, and the slender toes are dyed with bright red cardamom, bright and delicate.

Gently tugging at the silk of her collar, the light cast a deep furrow on her plump chest, her red lips pursed, and she said in a slightly irritable voice: "This ghost weather is really unbearable, it is damp and stuffy, just bathed, it is a sweat stain, and the whole body is wet and greasy, and it is uncomfortable to die!" ”

The slightly frivolous movements and the intonation of her languid voice were enough to make any normal man rush to bow down under the white silk dress.

It's just a pity that all the people around are all palace attendants, and the peerless style of the concubine Niangniang who charms all living beings falls in their eyes, but it is no different from being looked down upon by a blind man......

The dignified-looking female official on the side hurriedly asked, "Do you want to prepare a warm soup bath for Niangniang again?" ”

Wei Guifei frowned, snorted, and said in a complaining tone: "Forget it, no matter how fragrant it is washed and how good-looking it is, who wants to take a second look?" ”

The female officer was too frightened to answer.

Wei Guifei is a woman who can't be more familiar, and she is at the age of a tiger and wolf, but the only man in the palace who can "relax her muscles" gradually becomes more and more disdainful of her, when was the last time she came to her palace?

Three months ago?

Or was it half a year ago?

She couldn't remember clearly, she felt as if a certain part of her body was about to rust, and if she couldn't channel it anymore, she was afraid that she would have to stasis......

The heart was full of resentment, but it seemed to be in this ghost weather This resentment is getting worse and worse, and gradually turns into a hot fire burning between the dantians, Wei Guifei twisted her two plump and straight long legs and grinded, couldn't bear the emptiness, bit her lip, and asked casually: "Where is Your Majesty staying tonight?" ”

The female officer didn't know, she looked up at the waiter on the side, and one of the waiters replied with low eyebrows and lowered eyes: "Back to Niangniang, Your Majesty will stay at Xu Cairen's side tonight." ”

Wei Guifei was stunned for a moment, and then a nameless fire rose violently, gritted her teeth and scolded: "Another fox!" ”

That sourness can be smelled eight miles away......

Speaking of this Xu Cairen, not only did Wei Guifei hate him, but the concubines in the entire harem were also dissatisfied with him.

This Xu Cairen's real name is Xu Hui, he is a native of the Great Wall of Huzhou, his ancestor is Xu Wencheng, the Marquis of Liang Ciyuan of the Southern Dynasty, his grandmother is from the Jiangxia Huang family, and his father is Xu Xiaode, the assassin of Yizhou, who was born in a famous family and has a noble bloodline.

It is reported that this woman began to speak at the age of five months, and at the age of four she was familiar with the "Analects" and "Mao's Poems", and at the age of eight she was good at writing articles. Her father, Xu Xiaode, once asked her to try to write poems in "Lisao", and she wrote "Imitation of Xiaoshan": "Look up to the secluded rock and look forward to it, and stroke the laurel branch to contemplate." Will Qianling Xi meet this, what is it to be alone?". For a time, Jiangnan Shilin was shaken, and countless Confucians did not hesitate to praise it, making it famous and cited as a good story.

Even His Majesty Li Er heard about the name, so he summoned him to the palace and made him a talented person.

The most annoying thing is that she is not only quick-witted, but also naturally beautiful and beautiful, and most importantly, this woman has not been in the palace for a long time, and she is just fifteen years old now......

Wei Guifei is a person from the past, and she knows very well how fatal a fifteen-year-old beautiful girl is to a heroic emperor like His Majesty Li Er, although she is jealous and hateful in her heart, she can't do anything.

Compared with Xu Cairen, who is clear and jade, she is really not competitive as a "second married woman" who was included in the palace by His Majesty by virtue of her appearance and family background......

Depressed in her heart, Wei Guifei didn't have a good face, sat up angrily, and ordered: "Prepare warm soup, bathe and change clothes, and go to bed peacefully." ”

"Whoa." The female officer answered, and hurriedly got up and went to Zhang Luo.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw an attendant hurriedly walk in, ignoring the rain that wet half of his body, and said quickly: "Qi Guifei Niangniang, Wei Shilang asks to see." ”

Wei Guifei was slightly stunned: "Why is he here?" ”

This "Wei Shilang" is naturally her brother, Wei Yijie, the waiter of the Criminal Department.

Although the last time because of the death of the eldest grandson, she was disgraced and was almost dismissed from office by His Majesty, but Wei Guifei accompanied her smiling face to say all her little words in front of Your Majesty, and the pillow wind blew for several days, which exempted her brother from punishment.

The waiter said: "Wei Shilang looked anxious, and only said that he had to meet his mother today. ”

"That's it......" Wei Guifei was a little embarrassed, looked up at the window, the black rumbling heavy rain was pouring down, although she couldn't see what time it was, but she had always been close to the key in the palace, but she thought that if it weren't for the 100,000 urgent things, it would be impossible for her younger brother, who had been cultivating at home and barely leaving home, to enter the palace directly, so she had to say: "Then let him come in quickly, and all the idle people will retreat." ”

"Whoa."

The chamberlain hurriedly went out to pass the ceremony, and the rest of the chamberlain withdrew from the palace.

When Wei Yijie entered the hall, only Wei Guifei was still lazily lying on the brocade couch, showing her beautiful lines, and asked lazily: "What are you burning on?" ”

Wei Yijie looked at his sister's beautiful delicate body and delicate bare feet, even if he was full of worries, he couldn't help but feel a beat in his heart, and quickly lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at it again, and said: "Sister save me!" ”

Wei Guifei's beautiful face was full of consternation: "What trouble have you caused again?" ”

Since she was a child, she felt most sorry for this brother, and every time she caused trouble and wanted to beat her father, she persuaded her.

Wei Yijie lowered his head and said, "That...... Brother, I resold the grain from Jingyang Yicang......"

Wei Guifei didn't pay attention to the point at first, Yicang has this kind of thing in almost every county, even if it is resold, how big is it? The family gate valve has done a lot of this, probably just taking advantage of the high price of the two to vacate out, and then buy back the amount when the price of grain is low, so as to earn the difference in the middle.

Although this difference is very small, if the scale of grain is very large, it can also make a lot of money.

Wei Guifei hated that iron could not become steel, stood up from the brocade couch, stepped barefoot on the light floor and walked in front of Wei Yijie, and the slender jade fingers pestled Wei Yijie's forehead, hatefully scolded: "Look at your useless appearance!" How many times has my sister taught you, it doesn't matter if you are greedy for a little cheap, but you must stick to the bottom line when doing things! It's nothing to resell grain to earn the difference, but you must return it to the warehouse afterwards, otherwise you will ruin your reputation because of a little grain, and how stupid people will have to do it? ”

Wei Yijie cried and mourned, raised his head, looked at Wei Guifei's delicate and beautiful face, and said with despair: "It's not that my younger brother refuses to return to the warehouse, it's really ...... I can't go back if I want to! ”

Wei Guifei said curiously: "Why is this? Discovered? Hmph, even if someone finds out, as long as you can make up the number, who can do what you do? Don't forget that you are the eldest son and grandson of King Zhao Webster...... Wait a minute! ”

Speaking of this, Wei Guifei faintly felt that she seemed to have missed a certain point, she thought about it, looked at Wei Yijie with a depressed face in disbelief, and said in a lost voice: "You mean...... Jingyang? ”

Wei Yijie nodded dejectedly.
