Chapter 563: Punishment for kneeling
In the fourteenth year of Chongkang, the third day of the third month of March.
Cining Palace, Shouxuan Palace.
The royal court is in court.
At dusk, Ye Qing, who was dressed in a wide Confucian shirt, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, standing against the sunset and evening breeze.
The green silk behind is flying, uninhibited, beautiful and moving.
In the middle of the imperial court, in front of the huge phoenix wall, a young man wearing a python robe and jade belt and a purple and gold crown knelt there quietly.
It's not Jia Cong, who is it?
Jia Cong reprimanded Ye Qing for being a crazy girl in front of so many people, Ye Qing was not angry, but the Queen Mother was mad when she learned about it.
If it weren't for Ye Qing's naughty laughter and Caiyi entertaining relatives to cut off most of the Queen Mother's anger, it would not be a simple matter of summoning Jia Cong to the front of Cining Palace to kneel, but forcing the Son of Heaven to make an edict to take people!
With Jia Cong's current situation of being the enemy of the world, if the Empress Dowager really picks this head and creates momentum, Emperor Chongkang may not be able to stop it.
However, although Ye Qing resolved most of the anger of the Queen Mother, unfortunately, Jia Cong is not yet sixteen years old this year.
According to the Great Qianzu system, the children of the nobles who are still minors at this age, the queen mother of the harem is qualified to discipline.
The combination of all kinds of coincidences has caused Jia Cong's current tragedy......
"Qingchen, did you scold me before?"
Ye Qing doesn't take this kind of punishment to heart, with her mind and courage, as long as it doesn't involve human life, there is not much pain in the world that is worth her attention about.
It is precisely with this kind of courage that she can ride back and forth for thousands of miles with the body of a delicate woman, like Jia Cong.
More than ninety percent of the people in this world can't bear the pain.
However, Ye Qing only waited and regarded it as a tempering of himself.
Her kind of heart, whether it was, is or will be, will be a master.
Therefore, Ye Qing treated others with himself, thinking that letting Jia Cong kneel was nothing.
She has such courage, Jia Cong is not much inferior, and she does not take this punishment too seriously, Wen Yan glanced up at Ye Qing, and said lightly: "You yourself understand, at this time, you are still like this...... Hum. ”
Yu Guang glanced at the little yellow door and the palace maid near the palace gate, and Jia Cong didn't finish his words.
But how smart Ye Qing is, how could he not understand Jia Cong's meaning? That's why I'm smiling brighter.
It's just that suddenly, the smile on her face turned bad, and she asked, "Qingchen, you shouldn't be jealous, right?" ”
Jia Cong looked up at her again speechlessly, and said, "Do you think that I will be able to leave the palace soon, and want to add some motivation to the Queen Mother, so that I can continue to kneel down and kneel for a night?" ”
Ye Qing smiled when he heard this, and said, "Hey, when will Sister Lin come back?" I still miss her. It's really rare to see such a girl. Compared with the Xue family girl you hid at home, I like Sister Lin more. ”
Jia Cong paused, said, "What's the matter with you......" and said, "It should be there tomorrow." ”
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows a little heroically, and said, "Let's pick it up?" ”
Jia Cong twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, ignoring it.
This noble girl of heaven is so fond of tune. Drama on him......
At this moment, Jia Cong knelt with Ye Qing to suffer, the two of them could talk for a while, and the Queen Mother only thought that Ye Qing was angry when she knew about it.
But tomorrow if the two of them live in pairs. flew out of the city to pick up people at the dock, and it didn't take long for Jia Cong to come and kneel, maybe he had to put a nail board under his knee.
How much Mother Jia attaches importance to Baoyu, how much the Queen Mother attaches importance to Ye Qing, or even more.
Jia Cong's relationship with her is too close, which is a blessing in disguise.
Ye Qing saw that Jia Cong ignored it, so he only smiled and said no more.
She stood there quietly, her hands behind her back, her posture dashing.
The bright and beautiful big eyes looked to the west along the afterglow of the setting sun, watching the red sun set little by little on the side of the mountain......
It wasn't until the last red light disappeared that she looked back and smiled at Jia Cong: "Get up, the Queen Mother will let you kneel until the sun goes down, it's over." ”
When Jia Cong heard this, he exhaled lightly, but he didn't rush to get up, but first massaged his legs and feet with his hands, and after a cup of tea, he slowly tried to get up.
Seeing that his brows were slightly furrowed and it was a little difficult to get up, Ye Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and he was generous.
Jia Cong didn't refuse, because he really couldn't stand up alone.
After standing up with the help of Ye Qing, Jia Cong bent down again, enlivening his stiff leg muscles little by little......
Ye Qing didn't ask the reason, she just watched quietly, she seemed to be very patient......
This time, after a long stick of incense, Jia Cong straightened his waist, and saw Ye Qing watching with relish from the side, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
Ye Qing chuckled: "Don't look at me, it's really not my complaint, it's Mrs. Cheng Guotai who entered the palace to offer a birthday gift and accompanied the Queen Mother to eat tea......
"Slipped out? Scold. ”
Jia Cong sneered.
Ye Qing said "hey" again, and asked quietly: "Qingchen, how did Cai Chang get it there?" Famous doctors from all sides have seen it, but they can't see the symptoms, and there are a lot of people who are curious about you......"
Jia Cong frowned and said, "Who said it has something to do with me?" I don't know how many people have died of sudden diseases in the past year, but they all have something to do with me? Fortunately, the person who played the board in front of me was a guard of the Imperial Forest, otherwise I would not have been able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River. ”
Ye Qing's eyes flashed with approval, but he smiled: "I didn't say it was you, it's just too coincidental...... Don't look at me like that, I really believe it wasn't you. The timing is too delicate at the moment, the case of the second emperor brother has not been solved yet, Qingchen, you are not a fool, you dare to poison people at this juncture, it is so obvious. It seems that someone is behind the black hand and wants to kill you. ”
Jia Cong shook his head and said, "Such an obvious means of planting falsehood can't be concealed from His Majesty Shengcong." ”
Ye Qing reminded: "Uncle Huang naturally won't believe it easily, but everyone is in the noble circle, and now in the noble circle, they all say that it was your hand, and in order to retaliate against Cai Chang for instigating Zhang Liang to kill your second brother, even you admit it." ”
Jia Cong smiled angrily: "It's the demon made by Mrs. Cheng Guo again, this old woman is not right, how can I be so despicable and shameless to the two of them, but now I have found the source." However, I am dedicated to the public, as long as Your Majesty believes in me, what can the demon woman do to me? ”
After that, he bent his knees a few more times and was ready to leave the palace.
Ye Qing's face changed suddenly, his bright big eyes stared at Jia Cong's knees, and he said incredulously: "That's good?" ”
Jia Cong glanced at her and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Ye Qing looked at Jia Cong scrutinically, snorted, and affirmed: "You must be playing ghosts!" Qingchen, do you know how many people I have seen who can't walk for three days after being punished for kneeling for one day? Although your strange technique will help your legs, if you kneel honestly, you will have to cultivate for at least a few more hours before you can move, and you will have to lie down for two days when you go home, how can you walk so quickly? I want to see what secrets you are hiding! ”
After saying that, he bent down and touched Jia Cong's knee.
Her speed was extremely neat, and before Jia Cong could react, she touched Jia Cong's knees, and then her clean and beautiful face froze.
While looking at Jia Cong with slanted beautiful eyes and unkind eyes, he slowly straightened up, just as Jia Cong was about to bend over to stop him, and the faces of the two were almost staggered......
Ye Qing is very beautiful, her beauty is like the heavenly fragrance of the country, but with an indescribable confidence, atmosphere and grandeur.
Her face was very fair, there was not a mole in sight, and although she was not greased with grease and powder, her complexion was moist and shiny.
A faint aroma came from the surface, but it did not disturb the gaze of the two of them at this moment......
A thousand words cannot be put into words, but they are all in this short intertwined meeting of eyes......
In this ancient imperial court, in the last rays of the setting sun, under the glow of the palace lanterns lit like a tide in the distance, this moment seems to be frozen into eternity.
……
"Your Excellency!"
When Jia Cong came out of the palace, it was already completely dark, and when he saw Jia Cong being escorted out by the royal forest guards, Zhan Peng and others, who had been waiting outside the palace gate, hurriedly greeted him.
Jia Cong didn't say much, nodded and stepped on the carriage.
At the moment when he closed the car door, his complexion, which had remained unchanged, instantly became gloomy, and his eyes flashed with anger and resentment.
Not to others, but to yourself......
He knew, he knew what Ye Qing and the one hiding in the Dragon Head Plain had been planning.
As for what exactly they are planning......
What else could they plan?
Thinking of Jiangnan Mingxiang's words to teach the crazy woman, remembering all kinds of signs, and remembering some of the things he secretly investigated......
Jia Cong's brows furrowed tightly, it was an unbelievably crazy guess.
But there's still too much fog to see through.
In particular, he couldn't find the answers to some of the most critical points.
Therefore, when it comes to the lives of the whole family, how dare Jia Cong rely on this guess to bet on the line?
When it comes to imperial power, any absurd and unbelievable conspiracy is possible.
He couldn't believe anyone.
But......
He had already been pulled by Ye Qing onto this huge ship with endless dangers and deaths at any time, and he couldn't get out.
From the moment he had to take action to save the Martial King with Penicillium, the result was already doomed.
If you let the palace know anything about this matter, the Jia family from top to bottom, I'm afraid that even a chicken won't survive......
However, Jia Cong knew that with the power he currently controlled, let alone helping over there, as soon as it was exposed, he would be the biggest pig teammate......
But......
If you don't do anything, your fate is completely dominated by the influence of others......
made Jia Cong sit on pins and needles, panicked.
The only thing he can do now is to try his best to give the tea lady who is trying to open up the road to the south in Jiangnan.
Only by opening up this lifeline can he have a little confidence to gain a foothold.
With his current strength, some unforeseen disasters are really going to happen, and it is more than enough to save the sky, but it is much less difficult to run away with people close to him......
After all, there is still not enough time, if he can be given two years of calm time to develop, he is confident enough to say no to anyone......
But Jia Cong knew that he wouldn't have to wait too long.
The Martial King has been dead for too long, and if he continues to breathe, the one in the palace should react......
Thinking of this, a heavy feeling like the top of a mountain made Jia Cong faintly breathless.
In addition, when he and Ye Qing looked at each other just now, he saw the look in her eyes, the touch of comfort to him, and the calm crazy color, which really made Jia Cong worry.
Jia Cong couldn't understand why Ye Qing had to do this, her life even exceeded the comfort of most people in this world.
Why did she ...... Play with fire!
What made Jia Cong even more unbearable was that Ye Qing once again told him with his eyes that he would rest assured that even if he lost, he would never be implicated.
As long as he doesn't show his head......
Perhaps, on the day of defeat, she is still willing to die in his hands......
But what the hell is he?!!
It's ridiculous!
"Bang!!"
In a fit of rage, Jia Cong slammed his fist on the board.
The guards outside were shocked, and Zhan Peng asked anxiously, "My lord, what's wrong?!" ”
After a while, I got Jia Cong's gloomy answer: "It's okay, speed up and go home." ”
……
Dongfu, Ning'an Hall.
After seeing Jia Cong's return, Ping'er hurriedly got up to meet him, and actually looked at Jia Cong's knees first, and asked, "Master, are you really kneeling?" ”
Today, someone from Cining Palace came to pass the decree, and the momentum was not good.
After Jia Cong got the letter, after thinking about it for a while, she asked Ping'er to take the thickest knee pad she usually made and quickly put it on the knee of her inner robe.
The wide brocade robe concealed the traces.
This knee pad was made by Jia Cong in order to bow down to the court earlier, and Ping'er did it secretly, and no one knew about it.
Even if someone accidentally bumps into it, you can also use the excuse that you have left joint pain by lying in the snow in the bitter cold land of Heiliao, and wear knee pads to warm your knees.
The arrival of people from Cining Palace was expected by Jia Cong.
In such a big scene as the day before yesterday, he reprimanded Ye Qing mercilessly, and he was ready for today.
However, he also thought about it, with his current status, the Queen Mother would punish him to kneel at most.
Killing heads, hitting boards or anything, it won't be enough, and Emperor Chongkang won't nod......
Moreover, he expected that Ye Qing would help him beat the side drum and speak.
Because what he said the day before yesterday was originally for Ye Qing's goodness, Jia Cong believed that she would understand......
If it weren't for that, Ye Qing wouldn't have accompanied him to the end today.
Thinking of this, a touch of gloom flashed in Jia Cong's eyes, but seeing Ping'er's panicked appearance, he still gathered his mind, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "It's not in the way, there is a baby sewn by Sister Ping'er's own hands, and it is not difficult to kneel today." ”
Hearing this, Ping'er squatted, lifted the front hem of Jia Cong's brocade robe, untied the tie, and took out two knee pads that had been deformed and sunken, and tears came down.
Jia Cong looked at it, a touch of softness flashed in his eyes, but he smiled evilly: "Get up quickly, otherwise I can't help this posture again, you are not feeling well these days, and you can't serve me." ”
"Oops!"
Ping'er was ashamed when she heard this, and quickly got up, seeing that Jia Cong could still laugh like this, most of the distress and worry in her heart were gone, and the pear blossom glanced at Jia Cong with rain, her face was shy, she said: "Master go to the west, I have sent people to ask seven or eight times, and the three masters have been sent to run twice." ”
She was afraid that Jia Cong would never leave, so she had to pull her ridiculous.
Although she is willing to do anything for Jia Cong, she ...... Xifu is really in a hurry.
In fact, Jia Cong wouldn't really come here at this time, and he didn't have this mind, he just didn't want Ping'er to cry.
Jia Cong put a gift box into his pocket, took a scroll of paintings handed by Ping'er, said goodbye to Ping'er, and went to Xifu......
……
PS: I may not be able to make three shifts today, I will do my best, the feeling of being exhausted and hollowed out......
