Chapter 397: The Calm Before the Storm
7298
After a night of heavy rain, the sky is finally clear, but the water in the city is inevitable, even in the palace, early in the morning, the sky has just dawned, the little eunuchs all over the palace are busy, the sound of the broom splashing water mixed with the crisp chirping of the early birds is very noisy, the original thinking of Concubine Yan De was noisy, since she can no longer sleep, this is just before the hour has already gotten up, and there is no need for the palace maids to wait, sitting alone in front of the dresser and putting on light makeup, It's just that under the restlessness, this makeup was put on very slowly, and most of the hours have passed, and it will be regarded as makeup, but I didn't see Concubine Yan De get up, so she sat quietly on the round chair in front of the stage, looking at herself in the bronze mirror and was stunned, until the voice of the chief eunuch Qin Wuyong, who hurriedly walked in from outside, sounded, which could be regarded as waking Concubine Yan De from her reverie.
Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Yue has come down. Qin Wuyong walked quickly behind Concubine Yan De and whispered, his voice was full of excitement, and his wrinkled old face was much more rosy because of this.
Concubine Yan De's body trembled slightly, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and after being stunned for a while, she took a deep breath and said a word of invitation concisely, although she was still sitting on the chair and not moving, but a white silk in her hand was twisted into a twist by Concubine Yan De, showing Concubine Yan De's extremely uncalm heart.
The son-in-law knocks to see the mother! Soon after Qin Wuyong went, Li Zhen walked into the room, and when she saw Concubine Yan De looking at her with a smile on her lips, Li Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and respectfully saluted.
Hurry up, come, let my mother take a look. Concubine Yan De was excited, got up, stepped forward, leaned over to help Li Zhen's body, and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes because of this.
Mother Concubine Li Zhen looked at Concubine Yan De with tears streaming down her face, and her heart was also very excited since she beat Li Zhen to cross over to this dynasty, Concubine Yan De has always taken care of Li Zhen meticulously, for Li Zhen's great cause, Concubine Yan De also took the risk of falling out of favor, helping Li Zhen to take care of everything in the palace, Li Zhen has not been in the court for more than two years, and it is Concubine Yan De who is in control of the general direction, all of which makes Li Zhen grateful to her wise mother, and under the agitation of the mood, the words can't go on.
It's dark, but it's much stronger, okay, it's good to come back, it's good to be back. Concubine Yan De stretched out her hand and stroked Li Zhen's face, and said lovingly.
Mother, the child has been far away from the plug for many years, and he has failed to fulfill his filial piety in front of the mother, and the child's sin is also. Li Zhen looked at Concubine Yan De and said with a choked voice.
Don't talk about this, come, talk to my mother about it, I have done a lot in the Western Regions over the years, and I will talk about Xiao Chunchun's things, so that my mother will be happy and happy. Concubine Yan Defei stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, looked at her tall and burly son with great satisfaction, smiled lovingly, took Li Zhen's hand and walked to the couch, and said with joy.
Yes, Princess. Li Zhen replied, sat down on a round chair in front of the couch, and picked out some interesting things to talk about when she was in the Western Regions, and the things about the war were mentioned in one stroke, and most of the topics revolved around the naughty and naughty little Li Chun, and Concubine Yan De laughed from time to time.
This little innocent, it's really like you when you were a child, it's all elves and weird, my mother really wants to hug this little guy. After listening to Li Zhen's account, Concubine Yan De said with longing.
Er, are we so naughty? As soon as Li Zhen heard Concubine Yan De say that Xiao Li Chun was like herself, she really couldn't cry or laugh, but she didn't dare to say a word to her face, seeing that Concubine Yan De was anxious to hug her grandson, she hurriedly comforted her: Mother don't worry, the son will send someone to send a letter and ask them to speed up the journey, and they should go to Beijing in more than a month.
That's not going to work. When Concubine Yan De heard this, she was happy at first, but she immediately reacted, shook her head and said: Your two princesses are pregnant, and they are fast, if they have fetal gas, it is not good, my mother is not in a hurry, just let them go slowly, they have been waiting for two years, and they are not bad for these days.
Yes, the mother taught the lesson yes, and the child knew. Li Zhen saw that Concubine Yan De took care of the bodies of the two princesses, and she was very grateful, and responded respectfully.
Well, it's good to know. Concubine Yan De nodded with a smile, and changed the topic: Zhen'er, the sage has clouds: when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses, and everything is like this.
Although Concubine Yan De's words are plain, the meaning inside is very profound, this is to remind Li Zhen to be careful that the highest call to enter the East Palace is Li Zhen at the moment, but Li Zhen is not a concubine after all, although her performance is so good that it is staggering, she may not necessarily be able to enter the East Palace, this is not only a matter of Li Shimin's own wishes, nor is it just a matter of the princes' secret small actions, but also involves the support of the entire Guanlong nobles, even if Li Shimin himself has to compromise when facing the Guanlong Group, Li Zhen can not get his wish, It depends on the next layout, which is really not to be ignored.
What the queen mother said was that the child knew it. Li Zhen understood the hidden meaning of Concubine Yan De's words, and after thinking about it, she replied very calmly.
It's just that Er has always been assertive, and his mother is just worrying about it. Concubine Yan De shook her hand with a smile, and said with a casual look: A few days ago, Zhuhuangmen sent someone to send some seasonal melons and fruits to the concubine, and my mother thought it was good.
Zhu Suiliang? Gifts? Ha, what's going on, what does this smiling tiger want to do? Li Zhen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, Zhu Suiliang's always smiling face flashed in front of him, and Zhu Suiliang, who was really guilty of muttering in his heart, has always been very close to the eldest grandson Wuji, and is considered a figure of the eldest grandson Wuji's faction, he was originally an important minister in front of Li Zhi, and now that Li Zhi is dead, he naturally wants to change the court, which is inevitable, but the problem is that Li Zhen has never had a personal relationship with him, and there is an old grudge between him and the eldest grandson Wuji. How can Li Zhen believe it, but since Concubine Yan De said so, Li Zhen will not say anything, but just said with a smile: Yes, the mother's explanation to the sons and daughters remembered, the sons and daughters rushed back from the Western Regions this time, and only brought some gadgets with them, and the children sent some to the adults when they turned around.
Well, it's good if you have a heart. Concubine Yan De said with a smile: If you are tired of traveling these days, my mother will not keep you much, so go out of the palace early to rest.
Yes, the child is gone. Li Zhen originally wanted to ask about Wu Meiniang, but after thinking about it, it was really difficult to speak, so she couldn't help it, got up, saluted, and withdrew from Min'an Palace, along the avenue in the palace, and walked outside the palace gate. Looking back, it was Li Su, the king of Shu, who couldn't help frowning slightly, and then regained his calm, turned around to greet him, and said with a smile: It's the sixth brother, what's the matter? Did you also enter the palace to see Concubine Yang?
Hehe, yes, my brother thought he was coming early, but he didn't expect the eighth brother to come earlier than his brother, this is also the eighth brother. Li Su seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness he had yesterday, giggling and laughing, but there was no truth.
The sixth brother has won the award, no matter how tired he is, he can't forget his filial piety, the younger brother still has some things to deal with, so he will leave first. Li Zhen really didn't want to talk nonsense with Li Su, a hypocritical guy, so she smiled, responded casually, and planned to leave.
The eighth brother is slow. Seeing that Li Zhen was leaving, Li Zhen hurriedly came over, pretending to be mysterious, and after looking left and right for a while, he lowered his voice and said: Eighth brother, my brother has heard that the Jingshi Du family has been very active in the past few days, and the third brother and fourth brother have not gone there, ah, Lord Situ seems to be preparing for this chapter, and the eighth brother has to be careful.
Thank you Sixth Brother for your love and farewell. Li Zhen's face remained unchanged and bowed, no longer giving Li Su a chance to say more, turned around and walked outside the palace, Li Zhen behind him looked at Li Zhen's back with interest, suddenly smiled weirdly, shrugged his shoulders, and swayed towards Concubine Yang's bedroom
At the end of the time, the night is already a little deep, but the heat of summer has not decreased much, although only wearing a single clothes, even if the breeze in the back garden can bring a trace of coolness on the body, but Li Zhen still feels uncomfortable, always feel sticky and uncomfortable, coupled with the boredom in his heart, it makes Li Zhen quite irritable, and after sending the little eunuch around him to prepare the bathhouse, he walked slowly in the back garden alone.
Tired from what I said, it's just a day since I returned to Beijing, and there are so many kinds of entertainment that Li Zhen has a feeling that I can't bear from entering the palace early in the morning to ask my father and mother to return to the palace, Li Zhen can't really take a breath, and the flock of all kinds of visitors and the flow price of the general came to visit, not only Cheng, Qin and other world friends, but also not only the courtiers who served Li Zhen, many courtiers who have never had much friendship also roared to the door to worship the dock, and Li Zhen couldn't help but see the opinion of the two strategists at this time. This time, Li Zhen can't be as secretive as the last time, he must be openly upright, and he must have the domineering spirit of giving up who he is, so just meeting those guests made Li Zhen busy, and the muscles on his face almost cramped from laughing too much, and he couldn't bear it, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
Physiological tiredness is easy to do, after all, with Li Zhen's good body and bones that he has been trained in martial arts since childhood, he can still bear such hardship, but the tiredness in his heart is not enough pressure for outsiders, omnipresent pressure! Li Zhen has never felt that the burden on her shoulders will be so heavy as today, facing the upcoming test and the situation that the brothers may join forces, Rao is Li Zhen's heart is calm, but there is also an indescribable sense of boredom in her heart.
Your Highness, the bathhouse is ready, please show it to Your Highness. Just as Li Zhen was immersed in contemplation, a personal eunuch hurriedly ran over and reported in a low voice.
Oh, that's good. Li Zhen replied slowly, raised her head, glanced at the full moon in the sky, shrugged her shoulders, and strode towards the bathhouse.
Greetings to Your Highness. Li Zhen had just walked into the steaming bathhouse, and a group of warblers and warblers dressed in light veils had already greeted her, and the crisp greetings were extremely pleasant.
Well, change clothes for this king. Li Zhen didn't look at those half-naked beautiful girls, and walked into the bathhouse by herself.
Li Zhen is a person who enjoys well, and he has money to enjoy it, and the bathhouse in the Yue Wangfu is naturally very high-end, but it is not the kind of ordinary people who can be regarded as luxury equipment with a big wooden barrel, nor is it the ordinary rich and noble people who dig a pool and put some warm water on it, not to mention the spaciousness of the bathhouse, not to mention the luxury of the decoration of the entire bathhouse, just those novelties such as shower heads designed by Li Zhen are not found in the palace, of course, The maids serving in the bathhouse are all beautiful women with superior appearance, not that Li Zhen has the habit of being in the bathhouse, in fact, Li Zhen has never broken melons for these women, and has never even had a light oil stroke, just when the vase looks good, according to Li Zhen's words, it is purely for the sake of eye-catching, but it is not enough to enter such a place as the bathhouse by virtue of beauty, these beauties who can be selected for the bathhouse are carefully selected, and beauty is only a necessary condition, In addition, you have to be steady, your mouth is tight, and you have to know some massage skills for takeout, no, Li Zhen is leaning on the edge of the bathhouse with her eyes closed at this moment, drinking lightly with a jade cup of wine, while enjoying the grasp of a beautiful girl, humming so comfortably, not to mention enjoying more.
Well? What's going on? Li Zhen was enjoying the room, and suddenly found that the woman who was massaging behind her seemed to be a different person, not to mention that the technique was rusty, and the strength of her hands was pitiful.
You, how did you get in? Li Zhen was stunned for a while, then suddenly sank, shrunk most of her body into the water, and asked with an embarrassed face.
Poof. As soon as Salanyini, who was only draped in a light veil, saw Li Zhen's shy appearance, she couldn't help laughing, stood up generously, tilted her head to look at Li Zhen hiding in the pool, and had a smug smile on her face.
Li Zhen was speechless for a while, he never thought that he would have such a gaffe in front of a beautiful woman, looking at Saranyini's proud figure, and the red and black grass faintly visible between the light veils, he couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth, and he really didn't know how to deal with this situation for a while.
Your Highness has it, and Innie can't come? Salanyini didn't care if Li Zhen was embarrassed or not, tilted her head cutely, and asked with a smile.
This Li Zhen really doesn't know how to answer Li Zhen has feelings for Saranyini, such an innocent woman, who doesn't like it, but the problem is that Salanyini is only fourteen years old, although the women of this era are married early, and they can barely marry at the age of fourteen, but Li Zhen is here after all, and she always feels that Salanyini is still young, and she originally planned to accept Salanyini again in a few years, but she didn't expect this little girl to come to such a hand, which is really embarrassing for Li Zhen.
Salanyini was actually very nervous, she actually struggled for a long time before stepping into this bathhouse, but as a grassland woman, she knew very well that happiness had to be fought for by herself, in her opinion, Li Zhen was her sky, she didn't want to lose this sky that could shelter from the wind and rain, so she came, of course, she was still very worried in her heart, she was afraid, afraid of Li Zhen's refusal, but as soon as she saw Li Zhen's panicked appearance, Saranyini let go, gently ripped off the light veil on her body, and let go of her hand, Let the scarf float into the pool, and then, slowly squatted down, stretched out a foot, tentatively stretched into the pool, and then leaned forward, the person was already standing in the bath, a pair of bright big eyes looked at the wooden Li Zhen without blinking, and stood there like a proud swan.
Oh, damn it! Salanyini is undoubtedly the embodiment of beauty and vitality, sometimes innocent, sometimes elf and eccentric, for Li Zhen, it is definitely a fatal temptation, at this time, when I saw Salanyini put on such a provocative posture, a certain part of Li Zhen's body immediately reacted, but the ambivalence made Li Zhenshi unwilling to destroy Saranyini's crystal-like perfection like this, and poor Li Zhen's head was a few laps bigger.
Although Saranyini blushed because of this, when she saw that Li Zhen was more unbearable than her, she became proud, stepped on the water and leaned towards Li Zhen, a pair of jade arms and a ring, she had hugged Li Zhen's waist, gently put her face on Li Zhen's thick chest, shook her lips, quietly listened to Li Zhen's rapid heartbeat, and the towering softness gently squeezed Li Zhen's body, which made Li Zhen's breath uneven.
It's over, I'm going to be raped by a little girl! This was Li Zhen's last thought before falling into confusion, and then Li Zhen completely lost control, picked up Saranyini with one hand, and divided the two ** to the side, and did not return to the pool, just standing in the water, the spear that had already been raised was gently rubbed a few times in front of the peach blossom source, aiming at the entrance of the cave only one, but listening to a coquettish scream, a stream of blood swayed and floated to the surface, and the painful Saranyini's legs suddenly contracted, tightly coiled around Li Zhen's waist, The whole person hung weakly on Li Zhen's body, trembling, trembling, and letting Li Zhen's wave after wave of sprints bring him to the peak of lust/desire, the sound of water, Jiao/panting, and low roars were intertwined, and a fierce battle was staged endlessly in this bathhouse
