Chapter 286: Resigning from the construction of Kang Shizi and returning to the national capital (2)
Xiao Qiongju stopped crying, and hugged Gao Cheng's neck with teary eyes.
"Sister Shunhua learned from General Yang Yu that Yang Kan Shangshu wanted to be unfavorable to you, so she came to tell me. Because she is convenient to travel, she is here to inform you. I was able to save you in Tongtai Temple because of her. Yang Kanshangshu lynched his sister and General Yang Yu with whips and severely injured them, and was still claustrophobic in the mansion and not allowed to come out. This time, he said that it was compared to archery and horse archery, but it was actually arranged a long time ago......"
Xiao Qiongju didn't finish speaking, but interrupted.
Gao Cheng was really speechless. It turned out that Yang Shunhua did not come with Princess Liyang for this reason. There are also sheep and birds, which he didn't expect. knew that Yang Yan was a loyal minister of Daliang, but he actually fought against his father Yang Kan in order to save his life.
"Zihui ......," Xiao Qiongju whispered in his ear. Jiankang is not suitable for a long time, and the general should go back to Yecheng as soon as possible. Her voice trembled slightly. She was reluctant to let him leave, but if Gao Cheng thought about it, she would persuade him to leave as soon as possible.
"I want to go back to Yecheng after all, and if the princess needs it in the future, she will send someone to Yecheng to report to me." Gao Cheng also whispered in Xiao Qiongju's ear. There is a lot of meaning in these words, which can be regarded as both his promise and his reward.
After these incidents, Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang and Prince Xiao Gang also changed their minds. I feel that it is not easy to kill Gao Cheng, and it will not work once or twice, but there will be many more extraneous branches. In this case, the big things have been discussed, so it is better to let Gao Cheng go back to Yecheng earlier.
Eastern Wei and Liang, each with its own heart, take its own common benefit, temporary peace is the current thing that is beneficial to everyone. Since then, the relationship between the north and the south has become clearer than ever, and the literati and merchants have been in close contact. The Eastern Wei Dynasty finally calmed down the worries in the south, and only waited for the relationship between the north and Rouran to be reconciled before thinking about fighting with the Western Wei and unifying the two Wei again.
The Wei envoy general Gao Cheng and the deputy envoy Situ Hou Jing, together with Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, bid farewell to Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang and Xiao Gang, the crown prince, and crossed the river from Jiankang to Guangling in the north. Then embark on the return journey from Guangling, all the way to Yecheng, the capital of the Great Wei Kingdom.
The flowering period of Qionghua has passed, and the Qionghua tree in front of the ancient temple has long been green and shady, not the scene when it comes.
Gao Cheng returned from Guangling, and there were no flower watchers before passing by the temple.
It wasn't until the ox cart he was riding walked out of the road that Cui Jishu, who was in the same car, suddenly shouted, "Shizi! He pointed out the window and motioned for him to look.
Gao Cheng looked out the window.
The Qionghua tree, which is luxuriant and completely normal, has long since ceased to be in full bloom and looks no different from ordinary trees. But there were two girls under the Qionghua tree who were particularly eye-catching, and they were silently looking into the distance, following the ox cart in which he was riding.
The person in white is naturally Yang Shunhua. She came to see him off, and refused to see him closely, is her injury healed?
The person with gorgeous makeup next to him is Xiao Qiongju, the princess of Liyang. Gao Cheng came to Jiankang this time, and he always saw her wearing men's clothes, and felt that her personality and temper had changed a lot. I become tolerant and responsible. Although he is still capricious, he is a little more arrogant.
Xiao Qiongju deliberately wore women's clothes to say goodbye today, and the scene of standing under the Qionghua tree and looking through the autumn water has always kept Gao Cheng in his heart.
Cui Jishu has already found out, why did Wang Seng Debate hit the startled horse with an arrow that day? It turned out that Wang Seng Biao was the subordinate of Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, and it seemed that he also knew that his lord wanted to be Wei Proton, so he would protect Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng felt in his heart at this time that this Xiao Yi would definitely be available in the future.
It's just that Xiao Yu, the eloquent king of Hedong, didn't get anything, and called "uncle" many times in vain. I don't know what he plans to do in the future.
Chang'an in summer is in full swing.
After the establishment of the Western Wei Dynasty, the ceremony was finally held smoothly as scheduled. In such a hot weather, performing such a cumbersome ceremony is simply a torture for Princess Luoying of Rouran.
She can't stand the summer heat of Chang'an, and she doesn't like the countless etiquette that makes people at a loss. It was fiddled with like a marionette all day. The only satisfying thing is that this whole day of rituals is equivalent to telling the officials and the world that she is already the queen of Dawei.
The Fengyi Hall was solemnly and festively decorated. Princess Luoying's maidservant Tao Rui came to see it before. Luo Ying was finally reserved and didn't come by herself. Listening to Taorui come back, she was also satisfied, but she didn't like honeysuckle flowers, so she ordered Taorui to replace the decorations of several honeysuckle flowers with the peach blossoms she liked.
Sitting in the Fengyi Hall today, looking around the hall through the jade, I feel that whether it is the peach blossom bed tent or the peach blossom curtain, it is extremely beautiful. Luo Ying felt that Peach Blossom would bring her good signs.
It was already dark, and the Son of Heaven did not come to Fengyi Hall for a long time. The new queen Luoying sat on the couch and waited for a long time. When the lamps and candles were lit, she felt that the Fengyi Hall was so big. It was much larger than the Hanbing Hall she had lived in, which made her very unaccustomed to it.
This kind of tall and grand palace makes her feel empty, and she will even be afraid to be alone in it. Fortunately, in the past few days, she has lived in the palace, and she has heard that the former emperor lived in the Fengyi Hall with the former and the queen. Will it be the same in the future?
Luo Ying was curious. The emperor didn't live in Zhaoyang Palace, but he lived in Fengyi Hall with the queen. Even her Khan father would not be like this, the emperor actually did this. This made Luo Ying look forward to it very much, and she was very longing for it. Let her feel that the days in the Wei Palace in Chang'an will be very much in line with her in the future.
Luoying was only immersed in her own dreams, not paying attention to the situation outside. In fact, the palace maids in the palace have been serving in the Fengyi Hall for a long time. How the emperor and the empress were in love in the past is vividly remembered by the palace maids.
Later, he witnessed that the emperor was forced to abolish Empress Yifu, and the prime minister had to coerce the emperor to re-establish Princess Rouran as the queen for the sake of the so-called importance of society. But today, the maid of the ceremonial palace can see that the emperor does not like this new queen, and by this time it has been deeper and quieter, and he has not come to Fengyi Hall for a long time, which is very different from the previous emperor's attachment to Fengyi Palace.
Naturally, none of the palace maids dared to speak much. A few Rouran maids were brought by the princess, and they are also Rouran people, and they don't understand so many rules. Only Luo Ying's henchman Taorui was looking at each other from afar in the courtyard outside the dormitory at this time, hoping that the emperor would come soon to make a ceremony with the princess.
The summer night was still sultry, and at night the Wei Palace was quiet and dark. Tao Rui didn't understand, the ceremony had already been completed, what was the important thing for the emperor? Will the new queen be left alone in the Fengyi Palace and ignored? She was worried that because of the incident in Zhaoyang Hall last time, the emperor still had a grudge against the princess in his heart. She was secretly worried about the princess. The longing in the princess's heart was too good, but Taorui obviously didn't see any ardent expectations from the emperor, and she even had a little bad omen in her heart. Of course, she didn't dare to tell the princess to death.
"Your Majesty!" The crisp voices of the palace maids came from the palace gate.
Tao Rui was awakened by this call, surprised and delighted. Through the courtyard, she could not see the palace gate, but she had to hurry up and tell the princess the good news.
Tao Rui turned back into the hall and walked inside, almost so brisk that she was about to run. After passing through the curtains and entering the inner bed, I saw that the new queen Luoying was still sitting on the couch, so quiet that she didn't look like the princess Luoying. Taorui felt a shock in her heart, the princess had never been like this before.
"Your Highness, the Lord has come up." Taorui seemed to sense that the palace maids were looking at her with strange eyes. She tried her best to restrain her free behavior, and also learned from those palace maids to behave in a proper manner, talking less and listening more. She didn't kneel down until she knelt down next to Luoying and told her.
"Where is the Lord?" Luo Ying immediately reached out to remove Yuhan, who was blocking her sight, and looked at Tao Rui and asked eagerly.
"Your Highness, don't worry." Tao Rui helped her put the jade down again, "The Lord will come in immediately." ”
It's been a long time. Strange, there was no sound outside. Tao Rui even wondered if she had heard it wrong?
Luo Ying also fidgeted, obviously unable to sit still.
Taorui returned to Luoying and went to see the situation outside.
As soon as Tao Rui stood up, she suddenly saw the curtain lifted, and then the palace maids in the hall all hugged to take over, and the emperor's ingot torch was helped by the palace maids and walked in. He walked slowly, his body swaying slightly, and it seemed that he was drunk, and not lightly.
The ingot torch had already changed out of the dress and was wearing an ordinary black robe, which was incompatible with the grandeur and festivity in the Fengyi Palace. He was supposed to be the main character, but now he becomes a spectator.
Luo Ying saw this scene through Yuhan, and she wanted to stand up for a moment, but she restrained herself and sat on the couch without moving. Tao Rui glanced at the princess and greeted the emperor. She couldn't help but meet her.
When I got closer, I smelled the smell of wine on the emperor's body. The palace maids originally wanted to help the emperor sit down in front of the table. But Yuan Bao Ju staggered towards the bed where Luo Ying was sitting. The palace maids could only follow him and hold on to prevent the emperor from falling.
Luo Ying saw the tall and muscular figure in front of her like a dark cloud, she looked up, and the black shadow fell down. Before he could reflect it, the ingot torch had already fallen on the couch.
The palace maids all looked at Luo Ying, and Luo Ying didn't expect it to be like this, she turned sideways to look at the ingots torch lying on the couch, and closed her eyes as if she was asleep. Luo Ying simply picked up the covered jade by herself, and looked at the ingot torch at a loss.
Since the emperor was already drunk like this, Tao Rui had to make up her mind for the queen, and ordered the palace maids to give the emperor a wide robe, and let him sleep.
Putting down the peach blossom bed tent, Luo Ying also removed the decoration in the service of the palace maid. Everything returned to normal, and her first night as the Empress of Great Wei began at this time. Looking at the palace maids who were busy shuttling in the Fengyi Palace, they withdrew the palace banquet until they withdrew from the hall, except for the palace maids who were on duty tonight, and the outer hall was empty.
Luoying saw that the lights were dimming, and she suddenly remembered the grassland, Rouran, and even her sister, who was supposed to marry Yueguang from Chang'an. If it's moonshine, what will happen tonight? Where will the moonshine go?
Peach Rui served her to sleep.
The peach blossom bed tent was put down, and by the dimming light, she could still see the peach blossoms embroidered on the bed net. Luo Ying suddenly thought, Chang'an is really good, it can have such a beautiful bed tent. The peach branches on it were flying, and the peach blossoms were brilliant, just like she had imagined in her dreams.
Encouraged by this, she felt better. She is the Empress of Great Wei, from today. Chang'an Wei Palace is her home, and she can have a lot. It is precisely because of this man by her side that she has all this. Luo Ying slowly turned around and looked sideways at the man beside him who was breathing evenly. He was so close to her that his breath was at the end of her nose. Although there is a strong smell of alcohol, that kind of heroic masculinity is also close at hand.
I know that there are palace maids in the dormitory, but it is quiet outside, which is easy for people to ignore. There was nothing in the bed tent, and there were only two of them. Luo Ying couldn't help but move her body over, wanting to get closer to him, wanting to take this opportunity to take a good look at him. He was heroic and elegant between his eyebrows, and he seduced her even when he was asleep.
Rouran women were originally uninhibited, and there were not so many Han etiquette rules. But at this moment, Luo Ying didn't do anything. She cherishes what she is looking for, not only for the person who wants to get him, but also for his heart. She hoped that he would wake up, that he would take the initiative to get close to her, so that she could see his heart clearly.
The ingot torch lying on the couch with closed eyes was completely different in Luoying's eyes. It's not as indifferent as when I first met in the suburbs of Chang'an, and it's not as sharp as it was in Zhaoyang Hall that day. At this time, he should look like a very gentle man.
Closer, closer, Luo Ying couldn't control herself, and finally raised her head from the pillow, and then carefully tried to use her lips to get close to the lips of the ingot torch. Her lips had just lightly touched his, when suddenly the ingot torch took her into her arms and pressed her under her.
Didn't he fall asleep? Luo Ying was surprised and delighted, he knew that she was by his side.
Luo Ying didn't have time to say anything, and Yuan Bao Ju had already taken the initiative to kiss her. Luo Ying was completely dominated by him, I didn't expect him to be so proactive. The ingot torch was as hot as fire at this time, both domineering and gentle, plundering everything he wanted. He kissed her deeply, and at the same time undid her middle garment, reached into his arms and stroked her.
His hot palm touched Luoying's skin, and Luoying was almost crazy. She couldn't stand the barrier of clothes, and took the initiative to untie the middle coat of the ingots torch. Both were completely out of control.
This is the most indulgent side of the ingot torch that Luo Ying has ever seen, and he can't imagine that when the two of them are alone, he will be completely different from usual. At this time, he was not the Emperor of Great Wei, he was just an ordinary man, using all means to get everything he wanted.
He even trembled slightly because of his excitement, and treated Luo Ying like a long-awaited treasure. He was very attached to her, and he couldn't give up, as if he was afraid of losing her, as if he had finally found great comfort for him. He couldn't ask for enough, he wanted everything from her, everything from her, and everything from her forever.
Luo Ying was completely infected by the ingot torch, and also released all the enthusiasm in his vision. She was greatly satisfied and comforted. It was everything she wanted, and she got it all. The great happiness of this moment almost drove her crazy, and this man was deeply engraved in her heart.
