Chapter 478: Remember, Measure
When he arrived at the Xiyan Palace, he saw that the entire Xiyan Palace was brightly lit.
Moreover, there is also a dragon chariot parked at the gate of the Xiyan Palace.
Xiaolian: "Niangniang, it seems that the emperor has come to see you and the princess." ”
His gaze fell on the dragon chariot at the door.
She helped Aunt Qin's subordinates and raised her feet into the Xiyan Palace.
When Li Zhong and the others saw it, they immediately saluted, "Pour the noble concubine Niangniang Jin'an." ”
Qian Yan waved his hand casually and motioned for them to get up, "What about the emperor?" ”
Li Zhong: "The emperor is watching the eldest princess in the side courtyard." ”
Leaning Yan bowed slightly, raised his feet and went to the side courtyard.
Once inside, she went straight to the inner room.
As soon as he entered the inner room, the emperor was sitting on the edge of the bed.
There was only a faint copper lamp in the room, and the light was dim and dim.
The man just lowered his eyes and looked at Xin Tong, who was already asleep, and the whole person seemed to be one with the night.
Before he could salute her, Ying Zhan caught a glimpse of the woman coming in.
He got up and walked out, and when he walked to the side of Qian Yan, the man said lightly: "I have prepared a gift for the eldest princess, Ming'er, you can hand it over to her for me." ”
Yan Yan replied "yes" and left the side courtyard with the man.
At this moment, the two were already sitting in the hall of the main courtyard.
Xu hasn't seen each other for two years, no matter how much he swore when he left, no matter how tender and sweet, no matter how tender and affectionate, at this moment, it is a strange time of two years, and it is relatively speechless.
It can even be said to be a little embarrassing.
In the end, it was the emperor who opened his mouth first, "Why don't you speak?" ”
Leaning over at the man, he was staring at her, too.
It's just that there is no trace of gentleness in those eyes, and there is seriousness and majesty.
He replied truthfully: "The concubine hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, and I don't know what to say to you." ”
People are always changing, even if he liked to listen to her topics back then, he may not like to listen to them now.
Rather than talking awkwardly, it is better to be silent.
Ying Zhan: "Since I don't know what to say, let's start with the eldest princess!" ”
After knowing the emperor's needs, Qian Yan told him about Xin Tong's situation in the past two years, as well as the recent situation in the past year.
When she spoke, the man would bow slightly, listen attentively, and occasionally say a few words to her.
During this period, the emperor had water prepared.
After touching a stick of incense, Aunt Qin entered the house and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the bathing water has been placed in the inner room." ”
"......"
Ying Zhan was not unfamiliar at all, he directly raised his feet and entered the inner room.
Seeing this, Qian Yan followed the man into the inner room.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw the man standing by the tub with his arms outstretched.
Leaning forward and serving the man's wide clothes.
As she untied the man's robe, a man's magnetic voice came from above her head, "Do you remember what you said when I went on a personal expedition two years ago?" ”
"Yes." Qian Yan nodded, "The concubine said at the time, on the day of the return of the edict, the concubine and the emperor will untie their robes." ”
So, he came here on the first day of his return to the palace because of what she said at the time?
At the same time, this reminded Qian Yan of what this man had said to her before the expedition.
But she just remembered suddenly, and she wouldn't ask him anything.
If he really cared, he would remember it better than she remembered.
Otherwise, her questioning would only bore him.
After helping the man take off his robe, the man was only wearing his underwear.
Xu has been in the barracks for a long time, even if he is standing in front of her, he is straight and meticulous, and his body is as strong as a steel stake and iron pillar.
Even if there is no exposed body, you can see the explosive body under the clothing.
After helping the man unbutton his underwear little by little, she was shocked.
Two years ago, the emperor's body was very strong.
And now he is stronger, taller, and more powerful than he was back then.
A tall body, a strong physique, smooth lines and perfect lumpy muscles.
And, after two years of battlefield fighting, his skin changed from the original wheat color to bronze.
Even, because of the battle, his hands and robes were stained with blood.
Even if the man's hands are clean and his battle robe is clean at this moment, he still smells a bloodthirsty anger.
Through these, she seemed to see his intrigue and conspiracy, fortitude and toughness on the battlefield.
What shocked her the most was that the man's body was full of large and small scars.
Some of the scars even have new wounds.
Those new wounds are scabbed, and they look shocking, but they are full of male charm and wildness.
Although, the emperor has been on the battlefield before, and he also has scars on the battlefield.
But this time, he had too many scars.
He raised his hand and stroked a scar on the man's right arm.
The scar appeared to have stitches, and the surface of the scar was raised, with stitch marks like centipede feet.
This reminded her of a letter he wrote to her, and the handwriting on the letter was not so strong.
That's when she suspected that his right hand was injured.
Now I see that his right hand is indeed scarred.
It's just that he reports good news and not bad news.
"Your Majesty, in the past two years, you have been tired." ”
Ying Zhan saw the woman staring at the scar on his arm, and said indifferently: "As long as it is for the good of the northern country, then you won't be tired." ”
With that, he had already lifted his foot into the tub.
Tilt Yan sat outside the bathtub and waited for the man to bathe.
Because the man was scarred, he didn't dare to use too much force when he scrubbed his back.
Especially the new wounds with blood scabs, she didn't dare to touch them.
She first scrubbed the man's back, and then scrubbed the front of her body.
When she saw a wound in front of the man, she couldn't help but pause slightly.
The wound was an old scar, about an inch wide.
It's not deep, it's not shallow, it's like a sharp weapon like a short knife and dagger.
The wound seemed to be almost healed, with only a nearly transparent scab remaining, with a little blood scab in between.
Yan Yan pulled his lips and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, this scar on your chest is so dangerous, if you get closer, it will be pierced into your heart." ”
Ying Zhan looked down at the wound, and said frankly and indifferently: "A girl is injured, say that she is not measured, she is wrong again, say that she is measured, she is not good at piercing, she is biased to the heart." ”
Somehow, intuition told Qian Yan that the girl in the emperor's mouth was the woman who was brought back by the emperor in everyone's mouth.
She asked, "Could it be the woman you brought back as rumored?" ”
Hearing this, Ying Zhan was slightly stunned, and then said a faint "um", "It's her." ”
She didn't expect the emperor to be so open in front of her.
The man in front of her dared to answer her words, but she didn't want to ask more questions on this topic.
These days, there has been no rumor in the palace that the woman has injured the emperor.
Otherwise, if this matter had spread in the palace, the woman would have already become the target of everyone's condemnation.
Especially the concubines, they regard the emperor as the most important person in their lives, and they all serve gently and considerately, but others hurt the man in their minds, so what's the point?
Then, it can only be said that the emperor concealed this matter.
But he was so calm in front of her, did he believe that she wouldn't chew the root of her tongue everywhere?
If I remember correctly, at the dinner today, those concubines said that the emperor brought back more than twenty women.
At this age, although she is nearly ten years younger than the emperor, she can no longer be called a girl in the northern country.
But just now, the emperor called her a girl, or a girl.
Such a pampered title, only adults would call their children like this.
In the eyes of adults, no matter how old your child is, he will always be a child.
Now in this harem, the Queen Mother is a good example.
Even if she is a mother, every time the Queen Mother sees her, she still calls her "Yan girl" affectionately.
Compared with the queen mother's name for the woman, the emperor's name for the woman seems to be more intimate.
Since he had never met the woman, let alone gotten along, he didn't know much about the woman.
Not to mention anything else, from the emperor's understanding alone, the other party should be a woman with a unique personality.
The harem is not without a younger woman than this woman, but the emperor has never called anyone a girl.
The point is that even if the woman hurts the emperor, the emperor thinks that the other party is a good one.
It seems that this is really not simple!
After waiting for the man to bathe, the minions came in with another bathtub and filled it with water.
Because the emperor was tired of traveling all the way, the first bucket of water was to scrub his body.
When the second bucket of water is used, it is to bathe in incense and wash away the blood and bad luck on the battlefield.
At the same time, Aunt Qin burned incense in the hollow incense burner in the house.
When they were done, they all went out and closed the door.
At this moment, the Emperor stepped into another tub again.
Qian Yan put the clean dressing gown and clothes on the side of Mu Shi for the man.
Then, she found a palm-sized blue and white porcelain vase from the top cabinet in the house, and dropped a few drops of medicinal oil in the water in which the man was bathing.
Tilting Yan: "Your Majesty, this is a medicinal oil recently developed by the Tilting Medical Pavilion, which can remove scars, invigorate blood and muscles, and have a good effect on the wounds on your body." ”
After dripping the oil, she closed the mouth of the bottle and placed it on a low table beside her.
When she put the bottle and turned around, there was a strong force on her waist.
With a "poof", she was swept into the bathtub by the man's arm, and the water splashed her.
To be exact, most of his body was soaked in water.
In desperation, she instinctively clinged to the man's broad shoulders.
