Chapter 210: Dongbai Hall Gathers to Discuss Secret Matters (2)
Yu Wentai looked at her motionlessly, letting her caress his cheek, the love in her eyes that she might not have realized herself, but it burned him.
"Husband has been tired for a long time, it's time to rest." Yuan Yuying endured the pain in her heart and let go and stood up. She was about to lose her support. She suddenly felt in her heart that there might be something she had thought wrong in the past, and if she could, she would like to think about it again from now on.
Yu Wentai didn't expect her to suddenly say such a thing. As soon as he grasped her hand, he noticed that her hand was cold. She smiled reluctantly, she spoke weakly, this was not the heroic eldest princess. Yuwentai picked her up, and Yuan Yuying was already in pain and was about to faint.
Because of Nan Qiao's intentional arrangement, the slaves and maids did not see this slightly shadowy scene. Everyone thought that Lord Lang and his mother were in love, so as soon as Lord Lang came back, he went to accompany his wife first. There were no imperial doctors in and out of the mansion, and the prime minister's mansion was so quiet as if nothing had happened.
Yuan Yuying didn't know when she fell asleep, only that when she woke up, it seemed that the sun that she hadn't seen for a long time was sprinkled all over her body, and there was no pain anymore. Refreshed, he lifted the bed tent and went to bed, and actually saw his husband Junyu Wentai reclining on the rope bed next to the couch and falling asleep, he was still the same as yesterday, and he hadn't even changed his clothes.
Yuwentai, who heard the voice, immediately opened his eyes. "Your Highness is awake?!" His voice was a little low and hoarse, full of exhaustion. But he was very keenly aware of his wife, who had become radiant again, and couldn't help but get up from the rope bed.
"Husband......" Yuan Yuying's voice was a little choked.
Yu Wentai took her into his arms.
Chang'an is cloudy and sunny, and Yecheng is cloudy.
Because Dongbaitang is the place where the general Gao Cheng opened the mansion, since Gao Cheng left Yecheng on another expedition to the west, Dongbaitang has become silent. Since the general in charge of the government is no longer coming, those officials at all levels who are constantly running around because of political affairs will naturally not come again.
Although Cui Jishu, the squire of the Yellow Gate, and Cui Xianam, the servant of the ministry, were the confidants of the general, they did not go west with the general. However, the general is not in the court, everyone has to do their part, and they will not come to Dongbaitang to stay for no reason. Therefore, Dongbai Hall has almost always been inhabited by Yuan Yuyi alone, except for guards, slaves, etc.
The wind and rain at dusk blew away the last heat of summer. Yecheng was dyed with autumn colors prematurely, and the rain for a long time was even more bleak and cold autumn conditions. Yuan Yuyi is most afraid of such a dusk, day and night, which is the most suspenseful and sad.
She sat alone by the window, and the cold wind blew in through the cracks of the slightly opened wooden window, blowing the veil in the room and dancing again and again. She suddenly felt that the gauze tent was like the dance dress she wore when she danced the white silk dance, so she couldn't help herself. Beauty is beauty, but you can't do it yourself.
"Lady! Wife!! Suddenly, there was a call from the slave and maid outside. The call was full of surprise, shaking the entire Mulan Fang.
Yuan Yuyi didn't bother to speak or move, she just looked out the window through the gap in the window, letting the autumn breeze blow her loose hair.
The slave rushed in like the wind, looking a little unruly, but she didn't care, and even forgot that the lady had better be quiet and didn't like to be disturbed.
"Lady, Lord Lang and General Shizi are here!!" As if she was afraid that Yuan Yuyi would not understand, the slave tried to remind her and let her understand the good news.
Sure enough, Yuan Yuyi immediately stood up and asked a little incredulously, "Really?" ”
"Really, really......" replied the slave and maid in a stack, and the people had come and gone, and finally found the wooden comb she was looking for. She took the wide and flat wooden comb in her hand and turned it back, and she didn't care whether Yuan Yuyi wanted to comb her hair on her own initiative, as if she was still thinking about what hairstyle to comb.
"Has the general already come in?" Yuan Yuyi asked as she let her comb her hair, she was obviously much calmer than her.
"I've entered the Naruto Hall." The slave and maid replied while combing her hair carefully.
Yuan Yuyi heard her say that Gao Cheng had already entered the Minghe Hall, and immediately turned around and ordered decisively, "No need to comb it." After saying that, she reached out and took the wooden comb from the slave's hand, walked to the bronze mirror and took a photo, then reached out and scooped the ends of her hair from behind her, and then put down the comb after combing the ends of her hair slightly, and walked outside.
The slave had never seen her so single-minded, and she was a little surprised, so she didn't reflect it for a while, but just stunned and watched her walk out.
The wall of the Minghe Hall is full of books, and there is a large bed in the middle, and there is no tent on the bed, which can be sat and bed. This type of bed is a seat that can be shared by several people. At this moment, Gao Cheng, the general who had just returned, was lying alone on the big bed, quietly waiting for his henchmen to arrive. He knew that Chen Yuankang would definitely send Cui Jishu, Cui Xian, Yang Su and others soon.
Although his eyes were closed and he was immersed in his complex thoughts, it did not prevent him from still hearing sharply. When he heard a slight voice outside, he had suddenly remembered that Yuan Yuyi lived in Mulan Fang in Dongbai Hall, and when he heard her walk in, he was overjoyed.
However, there was no sound, no sound for a long time. Gao Cheng slowly opened his eyes, and at a glance, he saw that Yuan Yuyi was in front of the big bed. She was kneeling on the ground beside the bed, looking at him with watery eyes. He forgot that she was a delphinium that could dance in the palm of her hand, and naturally she could walk silently.
"Childe is back?" Yuan Yuyi's voice was light and soft, full of sadness.
As soon as Gao Cheng heard her voice, his throat suddenly rolled, and he felt that his whole body was about to soften. Originally, he was full of pain and exhaustion, but this sentence alone made his blood boil, and his heart was full of impulses.
"Come, sit down next to me." Although he was lying still, he reached out and pulled Yuan Yuyi, who was close to the bed, and pulled her to sit on the edge of the big bed beside him.
When Yuan Yuyi sat together, he could already see clearly that she was only wearing a plain gauze skirt, and her black hair like lacquer was completely scattered, was it because he was not there, so she didn't deliberately dress up?
Yuan Yuyi also saw Gao Cheng clearly, covered in blood, sweat, dirty and torn hakama on his body, only a black hair was still the original look.
"Where did Childe go? Why is it so embarrassing? It's sad to watch. Yuan Yuyi looked at him and asked blankly. She reached out a hand, as if trying to caress his cheek, but somehow stopped at his chest, and her fingers twrenched around the clothes on his chest with some uneasiness.
Gao Cheng's heart was already burning, he grabbed her hand, and held her soft and boneless hand impatiently, sometimes loose and sometimes tightly kneaded.
"Come up." He tugged hard.
Yuan Yuyi couldn't help but pull him vigorously and had already fallen on his chest. Gao Cheng hugged her tightly, and as soon as he turned over, he pressed Yuan Yuyi under him, and he looked at her with burning eyes.
"Childe, there's someone outside." Yuan Yuyi's face turned red.
"No problem." Gao Cheng didn't need to think about it at all. Even if Cui Jishu is here, what if they come? Naturally, they will be waiting outside. What if you actually saw it?
"Isn't Childe going back to his house?" Yuan Yuyi asked as if intentionally and unintentionally. She asked, gently stroking Gao Cheng's back with her hand. His back was already dripping with sweat.
"If you don't go back, Chen Changyou and Uncle Cui will come in a while." Gao Cheng couldn't help himself to breathe.
Yuan Yuyi was shocked when she heard this, and pushed her hand to refuse, "Childe, don't ......" She knew that Minghetang was the place where he discussed politics, if Chen, Cui and other officials could see that she was favored here, the general would naturally be nothing, but she would be looked down upon even more contemptively.
Gao Cheng ignored her weak objections and lowered his head to kiss him.
After a while, Yuan Yuyi was also so forgetful that she couldn't help herself, and at the same time hugged him tightly. She wasn't pleasing him, she wanted it more than he did. The remaining trace of sober consciousness in her heart suddenly thought, why was Gao Cheng in such a hurry to ask Chen Yuankang, Cui Jishu and others to come to Dongbaitang?
There are always lonely people in Chang'an City. For example, Yun Jiang, the maid in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I don't know why, but lately she has been thinking of the grasslands of Daijun Wuchuan. The blue sky and white clouds, the green grass is like green, the hills are undulating, and there is no end as far as the eye can see. Just thinking about it, I feel infinitely sad, and I always feel that I can't go back.
The study of the Prime Minister's Mansion has been lonely for a long time. After Prime Minister Yu Wentai led his troops to Shaanzhou, the study was suddenly empty. The study is also different from other places, it is the place where the prime minister manages the government, and sometimes I also meet confidant officials here, such as Mr. Su Sui, such as General Yu Jin and General Zhao Gui.
Yun Jiang is familiar with these people, and the prime minister is not in the mansion, so these people will naturally not come again. Even the people in the house, no slave dared to come to the prime minister's study casually. Not to mention the slaves and maids, the concubines didn't dare to come here to see the prime minister. In addition to the main mother and wife Yuan Yuying, they have this power. This was tacitly approved by the Prime Minister. And Madame almost never came.
She had already known the news of Lang's triumphant return. Even if she doesn't like to inquire around, but the whole house is spreading, how can she not know. The rough maid outside the study said to her, "Yun Jiang, Lord Lang is back." Lord Lang must be in a good mood when he defeated the East Thief. Even the little maid was full of irrepressible joy.
Yun Jiang replied with a smile, but quietly kept the study more organized, warm and comfortable.
It's just that it's still icy here. She is just a slave in the study, and she is fortunate to be able to welcome the lord back home. There are so many people, and everyone is looking forward to Lord Lang. Seeing so many people, her longing heart will weaken point by point. Because Lord Lang won't see her, and he won't care about her, she can only dodge and hide far away.
When Lord Lang returned, she only glanced at it and left. Just this glance was enough for her to return to the study and reminisce for a few hours. From dawn to dark, and then to dawn. There was no sleepiness at all, sitting quietly alone, facing a warm lamp, was the celadon lantern maid her? When will she be able to return to the grasslands of Daibei Wuchuan?
Yun Jiang didn't notice that the door behind her opened, and it was Yuwentai who walked in.
Yu Wentai pushed open the door of the study and walked in. He didn't deliberately lower his voice, and his eyes lit up, and in the shadow of the lamp was a slender but not thin person who turned his back to him. It was Yun Jiang, Yu Wentai's heart was hot, as if he had been comforted by something. He subconsciously wanted to get closer to her, to get more comfort.
Yun Jiang didn't know that he walked in at all, and still knelt in front of the low table, staring at the celadon maid with the lantern. Yu Wentai had already walked behind her, his steps slow. He was a little curious, what was she thinking, would she be so focused?
Yuwentai just wanted to call her name, but Yun Jiang finally noticed the abnormality behind him. She was awakened but did not panic, and slowly turned around. She knew that not everyone dared to come in's study. But she just didn't expect to see Lord Lang standing behind her, like a god.
Yun Jiang's eyes hurt as if they were dripping blood. The light in the hand of the celadon maid was reflected on Yu Wentai, and Yun Jiang felt a smile in his eyes. When she was still at a loss, Yu Wentai leaned over and reached out to help her up from the ground. He held her arm, unable to let go of his hand anymore. Yun Jiang couldn't suppress it anymore, and her heart was beating so hard that her breathing became short.
Just now, I felt that the study was empty and cold, but at this moment, fine beads of sweat were already growing on the wings of my nose. "Lord Lang......" She lowered her head, not daring to look at him again.
"Why didn't I see you outside the main hall today?" Yu Wentai's voice was lowered, very soft, his hands caressed her shoulders and arms, he was also a little uncontrollable, and the frequency of his breathing increased significantly, as if he was a little speechless.
"The slave and maid are waiting for the lord to come back in the study." Yun Jiang lowered his head and whispered back.
"Look up." Yu Wentai lowered his head and leaned close to her and whispered, he had already leaned over and almost carried her into his arms.
Yun Jiang slowly raised her head, and her beautiful face suddenly appeared, almost suffocating Yuwentai. Yun Jiang's chest rose and fell as she looked up at him, and she burst into tears. Yu Wentai lowered her head, her lips were so warm. The two of them are a little inseparable.
Yu Wentai picked up Yun Jiang and walked to the sleeping place inside.
The atmosphere in Yecheng has been weird lately. It is said that the general's defeat of Shayuan should be like a great mourning for the country, but Yecheng was too quiet. Beneath the quiet surface is not the worry of the country, nor the sorrow of the fallen soldiers, but there is an undercurrent of excitement and unwillingness to be quiet. This undercurrent is already in the works.
An even more bizarre phenomenon is in the Wei Palace in Yecheng today. The maids of the inner eunuch palace were surprised to see Emperor Yuan Shanjian, who had originally been dressed in white robes and went out of the city to welcome the general Gao Cheng, back. He was the only one who came back. The emperor and the lieutenant servants were in a state of disarray. The emperor's clothes were dirty, and there were blood stains on his face. The middle attendant was even more complex, and he had to be helped by the little eunuch when he walked, obviously injured.
Could it really be that the general dared to make a move with the emperor? It makes sense for the palace people to speculate like this. Who hasn't seen the general's domineering on weekdays? Is it really the end of the Great Wei Qi? The palace people inevitably whispered and discussed, and Emperor Yuan Shanjian had already returned to his Yanju Renshou Hall in a hurry.
Yuan Shanjian returned to the Renshou Palace, and as soon as he walked through the courtyard into the hall, a little eunuch hurriedly came in and said a few words to Lin Xingren, the regular attendant who was following the emperor. Seeing this, Yuan Shanjian turned to look at Lin Xingren.
"Your Majesty, King Yuanhui of Jibei is here." Lin Xingren walked a few steps to follow the emperor, and after returning to look at Yuan Shanjian and waiting for his orders.
"It's just in time, let him in, I'm going to ask him about something." Yuan Shan's face was full of iron.
