Leng Yi looked at the charming and delicate eyes like water, and his heart suddenly pounded, but his face did not move, and he said in a low voice: "I don't often fish in my humble position, because I am busy, but I have some friends who like fishing very much, and they told me some interesting fishing, I don't know if it's true or not, Mrs. is extremely smart, so I want to ask Mrs. for advice." ”

Xiao Zhouhou heard Leng Yi's words, and he didn't feel nervous, his big eyes blinked, and he looked at him: "What kind of fishing fun?" I don't know, but I'll tell you. ”

"Well, my friends who like fishing often say that the joy of fishing is not the fish itself, but the anticipation of waiting and the nervousness of struggling desperately after the fish is hooked. On the other hand, if the fish caught are not bouncing and are like dead fish, the angler will be interested. If you drain the water from the pond and go to pick fish, it will be even less interesting. That's why people who fish have always been interested in fishing. What does Madame think? ”

Xiao Zhouhou's heart sank, she was ice and snow smart, and immediately understood what he meant by this, Leng Yi was a big celebrity around the emperor, and he should have known that he was raped by the emperor. He was reminding himself by fishing not to let the emperor get his hands easily, but he couldn't completely refuse. What the emperor likes is the thrill of conquering himself, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty. His own resistance only increased his interest, and if he blindly obeyed, like other women, he would have no taste, and over time, he would have no interest. But isn't that exactly what you want?

Xiao Zhouhou was ashamed, ashamed and sad, lowered his head, and said: "Isn't it a happy thing for fishers to be happy if they are not interested in fishing?" ”

"If the anglers leave, of course it's a good thing. However, if the fish has something that annoys the angler, the angler will find a way to clean up the fish in the water, such as draining the water, such as poisoning the water. Will the fish still be happy? ”

Xiao Zhouhou's delicate body trembled, and he thought, is he implying that the emperor has murderous intentions towards them? I haven't done it yet, just because the emperor's interest in his fish has not been completely lost, and when there is no interest, I am afraid that it will be their death at that time!

Xiao Zhou said in a trembling voice: "What should the fish do?" ”

Leng Yi shook his head slightly and said, "I only know that before I think of a way, I can't make the fisherman angry anymore." ”

"Got it!" Xiao Zhou took a step forward, looked at Leng Yi, and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you!" ”

Leng Yi smiled and said, "Get in the car!" ”

Xiao Zhou Fuli, turned around and walked to the carriage, looked back, smiled at Leng Yiyan, but tears rolled down.

Seeing Li Yu and his wife's carriage go away, Leng Yi sighed secretly. He woke up Li Yu and his wife, just to reciprocate. After all, in order to save his wife Zhuo Qiaoniang's surname, he used means to prompt Zhao Guangyi to rape Xiao Zhouhou in advance. used Xiao Zhouhou's nude photos in exchange for the divine doctor Hua Mingzun to cure his wife Zhuo Qiaoniang's terminal illness. In the final analysis, without Xiao Zhouhou's nude photos, his wife Zhuo Qiaoniang would not be able to live. I felt guilty, so I helped them as much as I could.

The next day, the holy decree appointing Leng Yi as the "imperial belt" was officially issued, and the eunuch also sent the waist card of the imperial belt and a golden sword. Golden yellow, a color that only emperors could use, more fully illustrates the status of the imperial belt in the emperor's mind.

Leng Yi took out the treasure knife, and the cold light was forested, and it turned out to be a sharp blade that sharpened iron like clay. On the blade of the treasure knife, the word "Leng Yi" is impressively engraved.

The royal service is fast, Leng Yi admired in his heart. Straddling the sword around his waist and walking like this in front of everyone, everyone praised the majesty and abnormality. However, the eunuch told Leng Yi that unless the official Zhao Guangyi ordered him to be escorted in front of the palace, he did not need to be on duty in the palace in normal times. If he didn't do it properly, he couldn't bring this sword into the palace.

It's better this way, it's very inappropriate to walk around in front of the emperor with a knife. Leng Yi untied the treasure knife, handed it to his wife Zhuo Qiaoniang to put it away, and then went to the palace to deal with the embroidery.

When he arrived at the embroidery room, he learned that Yusi had asked for marriage leave, and the wedding was scheduled for the next day.

Leng Yi called the court painter and asked him to prepare several large copies of the palace spring palace paintings and seal them for Yusi and his wife. This is done as a task, and it has been explained clearly, to Yusi must be completely accustomed to the affairs of men and women within a month, at least not to be dumbfounded when she sees the Spring Palace painting. in order to complete the important tasks assigned by the emperor.

Leng Yi called the remaining four embroidery girls selected from the embroidery girls, and took out the embroidered appearance of Xiao Zhouhou wearing a dress that Yusi had copied before, and Yusi had already covered Xiao Zhouhou's face with a cloth and sewed it up. No face can be seen. Give them four of them and let them embroider the body and the background. The four embroidery girls knew the rules of the palace, and they didn't dare to ask more, so they sat down on one side and began to embroider.

The various techniques of embroidery have all been finalized, so it is not meaningful for Leng Yi to stay on the side, there are special guards watching on the side, and they don't dare to peek at who the covered face is.

Leng Yi remembered what Zhao Pu had said to him the night before. Although Zhao Pu did not explain the words, he had already made it very clear that he could not just recite poems and help the emperor with some playthings and distractions, but should focus on national affairs. He had mentioned the search for the Golden Covenant earlier, and then he had said that, and it was clear that he was making himself play a role in this. In fact, Leng Yi also hopes to return to the work of solving the case, but the tasks assigned by the emperor must be completed, and this is a crucial step in whether he can naturally gain a firm foothold in the imperial court, like a fish in water, and it is worth paying a certain amount of time.

Now, embroidery is on the right track, and you can return to your original path according to what Zhao Pu said.

Leng Yi decided to go to the emperor to talk about it.

He first came to the front court office area of the palace, and after asking, he learned that Emperor Zhao Guangyi did not come to the front court to manage the government. Then he walked towards the inner court.

When he arrived at the door of the inner court, he showed his royal belt waist card, and after verification, he entered the inner court. Now, he was free to enter the heart of the Emperor, which a year ago would not have been even imaginable.

However, he didn't dare to walk around, this was the emperor's bedroom, in case he met Niangniang or something, it was not appropriate, so he went straight to the emperor's bedroom without squinting, and saw the emperor's personal eunuch Wang Jien, only then did he know that Emperor Zhao Guangyi was in a particularly high mood the night before, and played all night with the queen's concubine, and is still asleep.

Leng Yi said his thoughts, Wang Jien smiled, and said that after the official family got up, it would be better for him to tell the official family himself and ask for a will directly.

Leng Yi had no choice but to wait. Wang Jien said that the official family was only afraid that he would not get up until the afternoon, so he took him to see the embroidery room, which was in the emperor's bedroom, and there was a special guard to check it. All facilities are available. Subsequently, seeing that the time was still early, he took him to walk around the inner court, saying that since he was now the imperial belt, the emperor's imperial guard, at least he should be familiar with the inner court, lest the official suddenly let him enter the palace to guard and find no direction.

Leng Yi followed Wang Jien to visit the entire inner court. But it's just a walk around the main place, and the dormitory of the ladies has a separate courtyard, where you can't go in. Just know the general layout.

The inner court of the palace is very large, not only the palace is magnificent and luxurious, the rockery lake, pavilions and pavilions are exquisitely laid out, and there are a number of cranes, mandarin ducks and other animals to walk in it.

Leng Yizheng was full of praise, and suddenly heard a faint tiger roar, which was full of majesty. Leng Yi heard this kind of voice in the zoo, and couldn't help but be taken aback, and said, "Why are there tigers in the palace?" ”

Wang Jien smiled and said, "This is the original Hou Shu lord Meng Chang's thing, there are more than a dozen of them in the palace." Meng Chang also named them the sacred beasts that protect the country. Hey. When Meng Chang returned to my Great Song Dynasty, he brought these tigers with hundreds of his beautiful palace maids. Emperor Taizu loved Mrs. Hua Rui, I heard that Mrs. Hua Rui likes animals, and she personally raised these tigers, loved the house and Wu, so he stayed, and specially built a tiger mountain. Madame Blossom used to come with the Emperor to see the tigers and feed them beef. Later, the first emperor died, and Mrs. Hua Rui led the practice to live in seclusion in the Buddhist hall, and never came here again. However, because the official family also likes Mrs. Hua Rui, they have been keeping them, looking forward to one day being able to accompany Madame Hua Rui to raise them again, just like the previous emperor. ”

"I see." Leng Yi was a little emotional, and continued to walk, not far from Hushan, between the pines, cypresses and bamboos, there was a small courtyard, and there was a faint sound of bells coming out of it. When you get closer, you can smell the faint sandalwood. After listening to Wang Jien's explanation, Leng Yi knew that this was the Buddhist hall where Mrs. Hua Rui lived in seclusion.

They strolled around until noon, then returned to the emperor's bedroom, and waited for a long time before Emperor Zhao Guangyi got up.

After washing and cleaning up, Wang Zeen went in to report, and the housekeeper immediately summoned him.

Leng Yi said his thoughts, and Zhao Guangyi said lazily: "This is not in a hurry, there are no clues yet, even if you go to Kaifeng Mansion, it will not be of much use, so let's be busy with my side first." -- I have something for you to do this afternoon! ”

Leng Yi was a little strange as to why Emperor Zhao Guangyi didn't seem to be too enthusiastic about finding the Jingui Covenant. Hearing that he still had arrangements, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please ask the official to tell me." ”

Zhao Guangyi looked left and right, waved his hand, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting on both sides retreated. There are three left: Zhao Guangyi, Leng Yi and Wang Jien. Zhao Guangyi still beckoned Leng Yi to step forward and whispered a few words in his ear.

―――――――――― Lantern Festival has passed, but it stands to reason that it has entered spring, and somehow, it seems as if it has just entered winter. The weather was colder than before, and the wind and snow were heavier.

Li Yu and his wife came back from Leng Yi's mansion, and only then did they read the letter handed over by Leng Yi.

This letter was written to them by their personal maid Qingnu when Li Yu was still the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. This Qingnu is very pretty, when the Great Song Dynasty was ordered to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty's general Xuanhui Southern Courtyard Cao Bin led the army to attack the imperial city of Jinling, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he saw her among the captured palace maids, and fell in love at first sight and brought her back to Kaifeng. In addition to being beautiful, this Qingnu is also very well-behaved, and he is very loved by Cao Bin, and in the end, he was accepted into the room by Cao Bin as a concubine.

Qingnu learned that the original old master was also taken captive to Kaifeng, and she felt nostalgic for the old master and often cried. After Cao Bin's inquiry, Qingnu knelt down and told the truth. Cao Bin said that it was not appropriate to meet them, but he could write a letter, and Cao Bin would hand it over to them, so that he could be a master and servant. So, Qingnu wrote this letter. It happened that the crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo was a guest at Cao Bin's house at that time, and Cao Bin said this matter intentionally or unintentionally at the banquet. The prince said that as a servant girl, he was grateful to the old master, and this kind of affection was commendable, and offered to forward the letter for him. This proposal was exactly what Cao Bin wanted, and he immediately thanked him and gave him the letter.

Li Yu and his wife read Qingnu's letter, and they were very sad, but they were not in the mood to reply, because what the two were more worried about at the moment was how the official family would deal with Li Yu's transcription of the poem "Poppy Beauty".

That night, Li Yu and his wife lay in bed until the fourth watch, and the two still didn't feel sleepy at all. What they were most worried about still happened, the poem copied by Li Yu fell into the hands of the emperor!

And Xiao Zhouhou was more worried than Li Yu, because she already knew from Leng Yi that the emperor had already killed them! That said, danger is imminent. What to do, you must have a good way to deal with it.

It was very cold in the house, and it was already late when they came back, and after the personal maid Panxiang left, Xiao Zhouhou had not arranged for a new maid to serve by his side, because these women all wanted to learn from Panxiang and get benefits from Li Yu. Since there are no maids who serve in the house, there is no one to take care of the affairs of the house. So when they came back, there was no fire in the house, and it was cold. The two were not in the mood to let the attendants outside come in and make a fire, so Suo took off his coat and went to bed and lay down.

The two were originally lying on their backs, but Li Yu turned over, hugged Xiao Zhouhou, and put his cheek on Xiao Zhouhou's shoulder and chest.

This posture was only available to Li Yu after they surrendered. Xiao Zhouhou was a little helpless at the beginning, originally, it should have been a woman leaning on a man's arms, how could it be that he leaned on his arms. Later, she learned that every time Li Yu was ridiculed and humiliated by Emperor Zhao Guangyi, she would do this. He was born cowardly and needed a strong arm to support him, and now, only himself could support him.

Xiao Zhouhou put her arms around his shoulders lovingly, wanting to sigh, but she couldn't help it.

In the darkness, there was a faint sound of sobbing, but it was Li Yu.

Xiao Zhouhou knew why he was crying, in fact, he also wanted to cry, just like crying desperately in Leng Yi's arms that day. However, in front of Li Yu, she must be strong, otherwise, the building will collapse.
