Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Beautiful Empress Zhen
The autumn weather has gradually turned cold, and at this time I am standing outside the high imperial study, taking advantage of the whistling breeze, I can't help but shiver,
It seems that every time I come to see His Majesty, there must be such a thing, not cold, it should be scary.
I was standing at the door, and my father-in-law walked in, and said in His Majesty's ear,
Then I heard it clearly at the door,
"Xiao Lin, come in."
Hearing his words, I stepped in, and when I came to the palace to salute, he continued: "In the future, I will come in without reporting here.
There's no need to kneel anymore, it's not in the court, it's all a family, what are you doing with such a life? ”
Family! When did you become a family!?
No, this matter must be made clear, otherwise my innocence will be completely ruined!
I said to him,
"Your Majesty... This family...."
He snorted very reluctantly, raised his sword eyebrows, and his eyes were wide open!
"What? The girl who just kissed me didn't admit it, you kid is so bold! ”
"I..."
I waved my hand at him in fear,
"Your Majesty! The minister is wronged! Not really! It was all forced by the princess, and she said that if I didn't listen to her, I would kill my whole family, how dare I not kiss it! No, no, no, no! I didn't really kiss her! There really is no pro! I, I, I, I...."
Finished... I instantly became incoherent, but fortunately, my father-in-law was a righteous person, and he didn't laugh at me when he saw me, and interjected from the side,
"Your Majesty, when the old slave went out just now, he did see that Lord Ji wanted to kiss Her Royal Highness the Princess, but he was stopped by the old slave in time."
Your Majesty's huh? He glanced at him very dissatisfied,
"Why are you so troubled!?"
After speaking, he snorted coldly.
Hiss... Seems to be something? I'm not going to fall into any more traps, am I? Look at that posture, Your Majesty seems to know that the princess will meet me at the door!
But before I could think about it, he said.
"What are you doing here today?"
With a little unhappiness in my words, I was suddenly a little stunned, and I didn't know whether to mention the matter of money and food, but I still said it when I thought of the gold bars that were about to bottom out.
"Your Majesty, the minister has enclosed a piece of land around Miyun Lake in accordance with His Majesty's orders, and recruited three thousand Xianbei strong men in Liaodong County, and is now building a school field, and training will start in a few days."
"yes, got it."
When I saw that he had no follow-up, I was immediately embarrassed, scratched my head and continued to laugh at him.
"Uhhh Hey, hey, when will the amount that His Majesty promised to allocate to his ministers arrive? ”
"This matter has been left to the household department, you just wait."
It's strange that this guy agreed so simply, and he didn't have the slightest displeasure with me asking for money!
Isn't that like his character?
But I can't control it, he decides what kind of character he has, as long as he agrees, he has no jokes, and if he wants to be the king of a country, he will not send the rations of my thousands of people.
In that case, I have nothing to do here, and I have already told him what should be reported, and he has let me take care of it myself, so that there is no need to mention some trivial matters.
I threw my hand at him,
"Your Majesty, that's nothing, Weichen will retire."
"Wait!"
I was about to turn around when I heard that ethereal voice from the back hall again, you don't have to think about it, it must be the stunning beauty Queen Zhen again,
I didn't dare to move, and stood there waiting for her to come out, but I waited for a while and found that there was no response from behind. The wonderful body hid behind the screen and said,
"What? I'm still waiting for the palace to go out and invite you, hurry up! ”
I'm about to become a friend of women... How can these women be so 'good' to me? I wiped the cold sweat from my head, glanced at His Majesty's face, saw that he was also looking at me, and nodded.
I bowed to him and walked to the back hall.
Queen Zhen is still dressed in a golden-red luxurious coat, with a beautiful face, the vicissitudes of time have not left any traces on his face, and he can't see that she is already a mother of three children.
That's right, this Queen Zhen is also in her early thirties this year, and it is when a woman is full of charm, I saw her sitting lazily on the wooden couch, raising one of her soft jade hands, and gently brushing the hair draped on her chest.
It seems that a girl from a good family in the boudoir is waiting for the groom.
When she saw me coming, she began to change her posture, put her arms on the couch, and the high mother of the country came back in an instant.
"What are you doing standing there? Come and do it! ”
Oh, my God... At this time, there was not even a eunuch and palace maid who served, wouldn't there be gossip when I sat opposite him?
I bowed my head and said to her,
"Uh... The queen has something to say, and the minister just stands and listens. ”
Her two willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said with a little anger,
"Let you do it, what are so many words!"
The beauty is so good-looking even when she loses her temper, and she can't help but think in her heart, such a beautiful woman in the city, if she marries me, she is willing to reduce her life by ten years!
This emperor is really, he doesn't know how to cherish such a stunning companion by his side, and he has to recruit dozens of new concubines into the palace every year, which is simply a tyrannical thing.
People say that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, taking a concubine and Namei, this wife has both virtue and beauty, it is really a blessing for strange people!
I was going to timidly come across from her and sit there on my knees respectfully. Don't dare to have the slightest dirty thoughts, and don't dare to float around, silently staring at the tea set in front of you,
"Didn't you say okay, you have to see the main palace often? Why not listen? ”
There was a bit of seduction in her voice, and my heart jumped, and I still didn't squint and said,
"Niangniang forgives her sins, the minister has been busy with the enclosure and conscription recently, and if you are negligent, please don't mind."
"I don't mind." After that, she changed to a more comfortable posture, and leaned back on the cushion, "Is there anything new and interesting recently, talk to this palace." ”
I told her about the Liaodong conscription and the scenery and pleasures I saw along the way, she laughed when she heard the funny flower branches, and the white rabbit on her chest also shook up and down with her body, I couldn't hold back for a while, so I glanced at her chest,
I didn't expect my subtle lewd action to be caught by her!
"Hmph, you kid even dare to look at this palace, it's really a demon in the sex, crazy, right!? Aren't you afraid that this palace will gouge out your eyes and stir-fry dishes and eat them!? ”
She said this with a smile, I knew it was fine, but I always had to do enough to make it so as not to give her the impression of being spoiled.
"The minister doesn't dare, the minister... For a while... For a while, she was fascinated by the heart, and her mother was full of country and city, and her demeanor was thousands, and the minister couldn't hold back for a while... Please forgive me. ”
Fortunately, His Majesty is not here, and he should not be able to hear the two of us talking softly, and the queen mother listened to my compliment and laughed again.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect to be so happy at such a young age, I won't tease you, but... Have you forgotten something you haven't said? ”
I don't understand what it means,
"Mother, what's the matter?"
"I've heard that you've caught a lot of big fish in Miyun Lake, how about it? Is this fish delicious? ”
When I heard her say this, I chuckled in my heart!
This lady is gentle and funny on the surface, but in fact she is a black-bellied lord, although this matter is not secret, but how can it reach his ears hundreds of miles away?
Besides, this is what happened yesterday!
I'm really scared now, this royal spy is everywhere.
"Back to my mother... The fish was delicious, but it was not edible. ”
I have no choice but to tell the truth,
And she listened, 'Oh? 'Sighed.
"Oh?"
"It's really unacceptable, yesterday we had a guy there who was strangled to death because he ate this mouthful of fish."
Her bright eyes flashed with surprise,
"Hold on!? Will there be such a thing? ”
"Yes, there should be something in the body of that fish, after eating it, people will lose their sense of pain and consciousness, and this thing can change people's nerves, and the more they eat, the more they like to eat, and the more they eat, the more hungry they become, so they will kill themselves.
It's also strange that the minister didn't find out in time, so... The minister is guilty. ”
"Hmph, even if you are honest with this kid, this palace has indeed heard about it, but I don't know the mystery, um... In your opinion, how did this fish come from?
There is such a thing in the territory near the capital, and the local people don't have anything to say about this black fish? ”
I shook my head,
"No, there are no people around Miyun Lake, even if people go fishing and eat fish, then after eating to death, they may just think that they will die, and there will be no other symptoms.
The person who died would not report to the official for the sake of face, so it didn't spread here. As for the origin, the minister has an idea in his heart,
These fish are supposed to be kept in captivity by people with hearts in the upper waterfalls, where there will be a dead man's pile, this dead man's pile is composed of burial slaves from a certain tomb, and the fish grow up by eating dead people's flesh, so it is unusually hugely fertile.
Of course, this is just an idea of the minister, and it has not yet been confirmed. ”
The queen nodded,
"And what are you going to do next?"
"The next step must be to train these three thousand strong men first, yesterday I have already made them swear, swear, swear allegiance to Your Majesty,
Please rest assured, after the training, I will let them try their skills, first look around Miyun Lake, if you can find it, you can go in and see, familiar with the first time, then the second time when we set off to the West, it will be much more convenient. ”
The queen mother nodded with satisfaction, and looked at me with a little appreciation, her eyes were very gentle, soft, like a lotus soaked in water,
Xiu opened his mouth slightly and said.
"I acted so carefully at a young age, and I don't expect Your Majesty and the palace to be so optimistic, yes, go back, and come to the palace to see the palace when you are done with nothing to do for a while."
I replied quickly, "No, thank you for your trust with Your Majesty, and the minister has retired." ”
I'm afraid this queen mother treats me as a child, but I don't know that I am only 10 years younger than you, and I am already an adult, and the personal charm he exudes is really not something that ordinary people can resist.
I've come too often, and if I make some unforgivable mistake of principle, I guess all my previous efforts have become flowers in the moon mirror in the water.
Hmph, you want me to come!? I won't come unless you call me...
When I came to the lobby of the Imperial Study, I found that His Majesty was still reviewing the recitals, and I bowed in front of him.
"Your Majesty."
"Hmm, are you done talking?"
"After the conversation, there was nothing to do, and the minister retired."
He said in a majestic and cordial voice.
"It's okay, get out, report anything in time, and you can talk to me if you encounter any difficulties."
"No!"
I finally said yes and left.
And Empress Zhen also walked to the emperor at this time, leaning crookedly into the emperor's arms, the emperor hugged her with both arms, and asked lightly.
"How old is Xueyang this year?"
The queen gave him a strange look, "Look at your memory, sixteen!" ”
"Sixteen... It's time to get married..."
The murmured words came out of his mouth and into the queen's ears, and the two looked at each other and smiled, hugging each other tightly.
