Chapter 37: The Court
"Hey, wake up." Li Yanhan looked at someone who was leaning there, completely unconscious, and said coldly.
"......" Tang Yao didn't react.
"I said you, wake up!"
"....." Tang Yao still didn't react.
"Tang Ziyao!"
"......" Tang Yao still didn't react!
A trace of speechlessness flashed in Li Yan's cold eyes, he didn't expect this man's alcohol consumption to be so bad. A touch of moonlight poured down, forming a faint layer of light and shadow on Tang Yao's sleeping face. Her eyes are closed, her facial features are fair, and under the cover of the eyelashes at her right eye, a beauty mole seems to be decorated by a clever painting, and her appearance is clear and handsome against the background of the moonlight, with a faint and quiet softness.
.....
Looking at the man in the pale cyan robe, Li Yanhan raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a momentary illusion in his cold eyes.... What do you think..... This Tang Ziyao ......
Tang Yao was a little restless in her sleep, she shook her head, and some messy green silk slid down her cheeks, and Li Yanhan raised her hand to help her sort it out. It's just that before he did this, he suddenly came to his senses, and the Danfeng eyes that were mixed with illusions before had now returned to their former coldness.
.... This one.... Tang Ziyao.... There seems to be a strange thought in my heart.... Even if it was Li Yanhan, he couldn't tell what it was for a while.
"The emperor is invited, the fourth prince is still here, isn't it good." Yu Chichenfeng put his hands behind his back and walked out of the road on the other side slowly.
Li Yanhan stood up straight and looked at the man in the moon-white robe and mask outside the pavilion.
"This king is going now, thank you for reminding the Marquis of Wei Chi."
The corners of Yu Chichen's lips raised slightly, his starry eyes were like the light of the stars, and his somewhat distant gaze slowly moved from Tang Yao's body to Li Yanhan, "This is as it should be." ”
Hearing this, Li Yanhan didn't stop much, and walked outside the pavilion with a step. When his figure completely disappeared, Yu Chi Chenfeng set his eyes on Tang Yao's body again. The faint moonlight swirled around his body, there was the silence and loneliness in the dark night, the coldness of the moonlight passing through the west window, and the mystery in the deep darkness.
"No.... I can't drink anymore....." Tang Yao turned around, as if muttering a dream.
"So defenseless, I'm curious, how far can you go?"
“.....”
Yu Chichenfeng slowly walked to Tang Yao's side and sat down, his good-looking starry eyes looked at the darkness outside the pavilion, not knowing what he was thinking. Banyun appeared in the pavilion quietly, he first glanced at Tang Yao, and then walked to Yu Chi Chenfeng's side and knelt down on one knee and said, "Master, it has been arranged." ”
Wei Chichen asked with a calm face, "Well, are you sure?" ”
"Fifty percent."
Wei Chichenfeng was silent for a while, his eyes looked a little unfathomable, "Go ahead." ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
The first sound of the rooster crow in the morning came from outside the house, and Tang Yao struggled in the quilt for a while before slowly getting out of the quilt. She glanced around blankly, this was her New Tang Mansion room, her mattress, and her room. Strange, how did she get back?
It was still dawn outside, and when she thought that today was her first time in the morning court, she shook her head a little swollen, and then got up and got out of bed. Looking at a brand-new official uniform on the hanger, she felt like a dream, and there was always a feeling of unreality. From today onwards, she will officially enter the court, work for the emperor, and take the royal salary, which makes her a little excited.
I changed into an official uniform by myself, but I found that it was really difficult to change this official uniform by myself. Tossing left and right is not well dressed, Tang Yao shouted directly outside the door, "Lan Xiang!" ”
“......”
"Lan Xiang, come in quickly."
After calling for a long time, the little girl didn't respond to herself, and Tang Yao was feeling strange. On weekdays, the little girl has already come over, so why call her herself. Just as he was thinking that the door of the house was suddenly pushed open, Tang Yao turned directly to the person who came and said, "Dead girl, where have you been......" Before the words were finished, Tang Yao stared at the person at the door with wide eyes.
"Xuan.... Xuanqing ......"
"......" The two stood there with wide eyes. Tang Yao only wears a thin middle coat, and because she wears men's clothes on weekdays, she has always corseted her breasts, who would have thought that Xuan Qing would enter her room early in the morning! Tang Yao's graceful figure as a woman was exposed in front of him.
"Xuanqing, why are you .....?"
"I heard your name Lanxiang... Thought you had something to ....."
“.... What about the girl? ”
"Brewing soup for you in the kitchen......"
“.......”
Tang Yao's first reaction was..... It's over, it's been discovered......
Xuan Qing's first reaction was...... There was a rare suspicious flush on his expressionless face, and even the roots of his ears were red all over the place, and then he turned sharply and rushed out of the house as if he were running away.
As a modern person, it's normal for a tank top to be short-sleeved or something, so she doesn't feel anything wrong. But seeing Xuan Qing's funny reaction, Tang Yao shouted angrily, "Xuan Qing, you come back for me!" Xuanqing's fleeing figure paused for a moment, then turned around a little stiffly and walked back into the room with his head down.
Tang Yao looked at him silently, then closed the door arrogantly, then clasped his hands to his chest, staring at him with burning eyes, "My Tang Ziyao's biggest secret has been discovered by you, so naturally I can't let you out easily!" ”
Xuan Qing lowered his head and said in a stubborn tone, "If you want to kill or chop, listen to it!" ”
This person... It's really .... It's been so long, and it's still such a stinky temper! Tang Yao raised his hand and pointed at his sharp eyes and said, "Since that's the case, you will gouge out your eyes as compensation." It was originally a joke, but he pulled out a short blade from his arms with a 'rub', and was about to beckon to his eyes.
Tang Yao was so frightened by him that he rushed up to stop him with an arrow, "Dude, I'm kidding, you're really digging!" ”
Seeing that he was stopped, Xuan Qing raised his head to express his doubts, but when he saw Tang Yao being extremely close to him, his cold face couldn't help but turn red again. Tang Yao stood up and straightened out his clothes, and then said indifferently, "Since you stay in the Tang Mansion, you will know about this sooner or later, so you don't need to be so vigilant." ”
Xuan Qing was slightly stunned, unconvinced, "You're not afraid that I will say it?" ”
Tang Yao smiled lightly and asked, "You don't ask me why?" ”
Xuan Qing silently put the short blade back, "Whatever your reason, it doesn't matter. You have been kind to me, and I will not say it. ”
"Well, I believe you." Ignoring Xuan Qing's surprised gaze, Tang Yao walked to the table and poured himself a cup of cold tea, "Don't be surprised, I have always been very accurate in recognizing people." ”
Xuan Qing hesitated for a while, then stood up and walked to Tang Yao's side, thinking very seriously and said, "Men and women don't kiss, since I have seen you.... You..... I'll take care of it. ”
Tang Yao almost squirted out a mouthful of cold tea, "What are you talking nonsense, what have you seen!" What is responsible or not responsible, there is no such thing at all! ”
“..... I stand tall in the sky, and I have never been afraid of anything, so what do you want? ”
Tang Yaofeng's eyes rolled slightly, and he already had an idea, "The reason why I kept you in the Tang Mansion was also out of helplessness. Since you insist on doing so, I can't refuse. And you said earlier that I am kind to you..... It's better to be like this, you will be by my side for three years, and when the three-year period expires, you will be left to go or stay. ”
"........" Xuan Qing was silent
"Today you know my identity, and I'm not a messer, I have to pull you to do something responsible."
"That's it?" Xuan Qing asked.
"That's right, it is a very dangerous thing for a woman to enter the court. So I want to hire you to guard me for three years, of course this is not an order, but a deal I make with you. Don't worry, I'll pay you extra every month, so what do you mean? Tang Yao still looked at Xuan Qing with burning eyes, without the slightest intention of questioning.
"As I said before, you don't know my details, maybe I ......," Xuan Qing hesitated.
"It doesn't matter who you are, what you do. I still say the same thing, I have always been very accurate in seeing people, so I believe you. ”
Xuan Qing's unruly eyes flashed with a different color, and then he walked up to Tang Yao's side, bowed and saluted, "Since this is the case, I will answer the son for these three years." ”
"Well, that's good!"
Before the hour, Tang Yao was already waiting at the gate of the Taihe Hall of the early dynasty. Taihe hall ** and solemn, the door of red lacquered wood on both sides is carved with the golden dragon flying into the sky, eighteen bronze tripods are erected in front of the door, the bronze statue is made with the symbol of longevity of the turtle and the crane, in order to show the nobility of the imperial power.
Tang Yao was dumbfounded, it was really rare to be able to observe the palace up close now. Although she had also seen the Forbidden City and visited every palace, this was the first time she had faced it so immersively, especially as an official of the emperor.
When the officials who had just arrived saw her, they stepped forward to greet her because of the title of the latest new champion. Tang Yao silently wrote down these people, and each of them was a gentle return gift. So much so that the officials have a good impression of this newly appointed champion, at least not the kind of scorching sun.
The red lacquered wood was wide open, Wang Quan walked out, looked at the ministers, and said loudly, "The emperor has a decree to announce that the ministers will enter the palace." ”
The officials were divided into two rows, and entered the Taihe Hall one by one in a neat and orderly manner. Tang Yao followed the crowd in and found his place to stand. Although I didn't dare to look around, I could feel the sudden sense of solemnity. She was keeping her head down when someone tapped her on the shoulder.
Li Hengyu's lake-clear eyes looked at her with a smile in them, as if he was greeting her. Tang Yao gave him a gentle smile in return, and then withdrew his gaze and ignored it. All the ministers stood still, and they all knelt on the ground neatly, raising their voices to ask for peace.
"The son asks his father to say goodbye, long live his father, long live long live."
"Weichen to the emperor to say goodbye, long live the emperor, long live long live."
Li Nannan was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a crown and tied hair, and his dragon eyes were shrewd and his aura was magnificent. He raised his hand slightly and said, "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”
"Your Majesty."
Wang Quan took a step forward, looked at the officials in the lower hall, and raised his voice again, "The emperor has a decree, and the six departments of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry come forward to report one by one. ”
