Chapter 12 Bathing
Inside the Imperial Study. After Yan Feng finished going to the court, Mo Ming was a little irritable in the face of the mountains of folds on the table.
In today's court, there are many twists and turns that are jointly signed by local officials as members of the DPRK and Central China, and participate in the performance of the auxiliary general Qi Yun Yuexuan.
In the compromise, he recounted all kinds of misdeeds of Qi Yun Yuexuan, saying that he relied on his sister to be favored in the harem, and demanded high bribes from local officials and squires and celebrities in disregard of the law and discipline. Those who did not cooperate were persecuted one after another, and he was beheaded in public at the slightest dissatisfaction, and many local officials appointed by the court committed suicide because they could not bear the humiliation, which caused several counties around Fuling Pass to complain. Wanmin jointly petitioned for impeachment, but was suppressed by Qi Yun Yuexuan and his troops, which eventually led to a riot. Many ministers in the DPRK and China demanded that Yan Feng take back the military power in his hands and punish him severely.
Yan Feng knew that Qi Yun Yuexuan's character was unruly, and he once used the excuse of "the general is outside, and the king's order is not subject to it", and privately overstepped his authority and killed local officials, which gave Yan Feng a headache. Although it was later confirmed that the official had indeed committed corruption and prosperity, his unauthorized overstepping of his authority still made Yan Feng very dissatisfied. Yan Feng was afraid that he would one day hold a lot of power and would not obey the control.
Recalling his many years of friendship with Qi Yun Yuexuan, as well as his exploits at the border over the years, Yan Feng frowned. He felt that even if Yun Yuexuan killed a few people in vain, he could try to block it for him. This time, however, things got bigger, and there were already riots and many people died. If this matter is not handled well, it will affect the stability of the entire Huayan.
Murong Zhining came in with tea, and when she saw Yan Feng's preoccupied look, she asked, "Has the emperor encountered anything troublesome?" Yan Feng frowned, and told Murong Zhining about his friendship with Qi Yun Yuexuan and what happened in the court today. Qi Yun Yuexuan is his only friend since he was a child. Everyone in the world said that the Qi Yun family was prosperous because Qi Yun Wan was favored, and only Yan Feng understood that it was precisely because of his friendship with Qi Yun Yuexuan that he married Qi Yun Huan. He doted on Qi Yunhuan just because he felt ashamed of their brother and sister.
Murong Zhi's bright eyes were full of pearls, as if she was thinking: "When the slave maid was in the Zhuang Mansion before, I heard others talk about General Qiyun. said that he had an ugly face, a wild and uninhibited personality, killed people without blinking, and refused to obey discipline, and even the emperor couldn't help him. The emperor cherishes friendship, and there is nothing wrong with it. But it would be irrational to indulge him in his misdeeds. The emperor might as well find an excuse to recall General Qiyun back to the court, first cut the military power in his hands, and then investigate the matter. ”
Yan Feng pondered for a moment: "He's not as unbearable as the legend says, it's just that his personality is a little uninhibited and he is reckless." What you say is reasonable, and it coincides with my thoughts. I also plan to recall him first, find out about this matter, and give an explanation to the civil and military officials. If it is really like what is written in the chapter, I will not tolerate him. Murong Zhining nodded in approval. Yan Feng looked at her gently: "Do you say that I will accept you as my concubine?" or will I let you be my female official and help me come up with ideas?" Murong Zhi pouted: "The emperor is wise, it is most appropriate to expel the slaves and maids from the palace." "You ......" Yan Feng couldn't laugh or cry.
At night, Wan'an Palace. Yan Feng half leaned in the hot spring pool, closing his eyes and resting. The hot spring pool is on the west side of the dormitory, which is a separate terrace, and there is a cloister connected to the dormitory, which is convenient for the emperor to bathe. There is a plaque of Yan Feng's own book hanging outside the door, and the word "cleansing" is written on it, which means to wash away fatigue. The four corners of the pool are decorated with marble carved animal heads, and the open mouth of the beast slowly spits into the pool into the hot spring water brought from the back mountain. The pool is shallow on all sides and slightly deep in the middle, so that the emperor can rest by immersing himself in the water. There is also a couch on the edge of the pool, on which is covered with a plush blanket, on which the emperor can lie down and rest after taking a bath, and the emperor will be massaged by a special person. On the small wooden table next to the couch, snacks, fruits and tea are placed.
Yan Feng sent away several palace maids who were waiting for him to take a bath, and asked Qi Shangming to go to Xuan Murong Zhining to serve in the bath. With a smile on the corner of Yan Feng's mouth, he closed his eyes and guessed Murong Zhining's shy and angry appearance, and couldn't help laughing.
Murong Zhining blushed with a small face, walked into the bathhouse with her head down, her beautiful apricot eyes were always staring at the ground, not daring to look at Yan Feng. She walked behind Yan Feng, squatted down, bent down and dipped her hands in the pool, rubbing them lightly on Yan Feng's bare shoulders.
Yan Feng tried his best to hold back a smile: "How can you wash me like this?" Take off your outer clothes. ”
Murong Zhining muttered dissatisfiedly: "Doesn't the emperor have someone to serve the bath? ”
Yan Feng pretended to be angry and wanted to stand up, but Murong Zhining covered her mouth and screamed softly, so frightened that she took two steps back. She pouted and reluctantly took off her green jacket, walked over in a close-fitting white gauze coat, and squirmed and refused to go into the water.
Yan Feng stood up, grabbed Murong Zhining and pulled him over, hugged him and put it in the water, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Okay, you little girl, do you still want to serve you?" Murong Zhining let out a low cry of fright, closed her eyes and didn't dare to open them. When she opened her eyes timidly, she saw Yan Feng's handsome face squinting slightly, hooking the corners of her lips, and that face was almost close to her. Murong Zhining blocked her blushing little face with one hand, supported Yan Feng's shoulder with one hand, and lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Yan Feng's eyes.
Yan Feng pulled her in front of her with her hand, and her thin lips almost touched her ears: "Murong Zhining, aren't you bold? Didn't you dare to look at me before? How did you become so timid now? Shy? Huh?" Yan Feng's hot and dangerous breath roamed in Murong Zhining's ears, she was so flustered that she didn't know what to do, and begged Yan Feng in a low voice: "The slave didn't know the height of the sky before, and she collided with the emperor. Haven't slaves and maids changed now? Please don't embarrass the slaves and maids. ”
Yan Feng let go of Murong Zhining with satisfaction, smiled and closed his eyes and leaned on the edge of the pool, his deep voice could not be resisted: "Wait for me to bathe." ”
Murong Zhining blushed and wanted to pick up the towel in the pool, but unexpectedly, she tore off the cloth that Yan Feng wrapped around her waist. Yan Feng couldn't help but smile and glare: "Are you so unreserved? What do you want to do to me?" Murong Zhining became even more flustered: "I'm sorry, slave...... The slave didn't mean it. Yan Feng pretended to be angry: "Come and retie it for me." Murong Zhining's hands trembled with nervousness, she took the cloth and used her hands to wrap around Yan Feng's waist, in order to tie it behind him, she could only stick her body to Yan Feng. Yan Feng sniffed her hair, leaned over and kissed her on the neck. Murong Zhining was so nervous that her hands shook, her feet slipped, and her whole person fell on Yan Feng. Yan Feng took advantage of the situation to hug her tightly: "Are you throwing a hug to me? Murong Zhi was so ashamed that tears fell down: "The emperor forgives the sin, the slave didn't mean it." Yan Feng couldn't bear to tease her again, so he took the cloth and wrapped it around his waist: "Continue to bathe me." ”
Murong Zhining carefully picked up the towel in the water and wiped it on Yan Feng's shoulder. Yan Feng dissatisfiedly snatched the towel in her hand: "Rub it with your hands, don't just wash your shoulders, wash other places too." ”
Yan Feng smiled evilly and closed his eyes and leaned back to the pool. Murong Zhining lowered her eyes shyly, and a pair of slender plain hands flicked back and forth on Yan Feng's body. Yan Feng's heart was ape, he secretly opened one eye and looked at Murong Zhining.
A mist of water swirled around the girl, reflecting the pink color of her cheeks like peach blossoms. Her neck was slender and white, and her delicate porcelain skin shone like pearls. The soaked sheer gauze was tightly wrapped around her body, and the red corset and roundness and fullness inside were clearly visible. Her thin waist was exposed on the water, and she swayed slightly from side to side due to the movements of her hands, so beautiful that Yan Feng was suffocated. Yan Feng thought of Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu": Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow. Forced to observe it, the scorching waves appeared. The fiber is heartfelt, and the fit is shortened. If the shoulders are cut, the waist is as plain. Stretch the neck of the show, the quality of the dew, the fragrance is not added, the lead Huafu Yu. Yan Feng felt that this seemed to be made specifically for Murong Zhining.
Murong Zhining felt Yan Feng's scorching gaze, his hand froze, and he said angrily: "Your Majesty, please be reserved, it seems inappropriate for the emperor to look at slaves and maids like this!" Yan Feng stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms: "Only you dare to accuse me like this, I have to teach you some lessons." Is this okay?" Yan Feng held Murong Zhining's thin waist with one hand, pinched her chin with the other, and pressed her thin lips domineeringly against Murong Zhining's small mouth.
Yan Feng sucked Murong Zhining's soft lips unwillingly, his breath was rapid and flustered. He was anxious to pry open Murong Zhining's teeth, but he didn't succeed, in fact, he didn't have any extra experience at all.
Murong Zhining was stunned for a moment, then began to resist, she bit Yan Feng's lip angrily, and took advantage of his distraction to push him away and want to escape. Yan Feng grabbed her hand and pulled her closer again. Murong Zhining's struggle stirred up a splash, and during the pull, Yan Feng's hand touched the softness on Murong Zhining's chest. Yan Feng was a little uncontrollable, hugged Murong Zhining who was facing away from her tightly, and whispered in her ear: "Is this how your mother Qin taught you to serve men? Let me teach you! Yan Feng looked at Murong Zhining, who was fleeing like a frightened fawn, and didn't force it again, he didn't want to frighten her.
Murong Zhining climbed up from the other end of the pool, ran over in embarrassment, picked up the clothes on the ground and draped them on his body, and quickly escaped with a red face. Yan Feng's unbridled laughter rang out behind her.
Yan Feng closed his eyes and continued to lean against the edge of the pool, stroking his lips that had been bitten by Murong Zhining, and a smile of obsession and intoxication appeared on his face. His heart was restlessly like it was about to jump out of his chest.
Murong Zhining and Cai Sang were embroidering handkerchiefs under the lamp, Cai Sang saw her uneasy look, and asked, "What's the matter? Who did you think of?" "You can't lie, the emperor's eyes are as gentle as water when he looks at you, I have never seen him look at others like this." Zhining, if you can't find your little brother, will you be the emperor's concubine?" Murong Zhining was a little absent-minded: "I will find my little brother, we will definitely be able to leave the palace." I don't belong here, and I don't want to be bound by the rules of the palace. Caisang shook his head: "If there is no little brother, maybe you will be willing." Some things also have to talk about fate, the little brother did not appear, that is, the old man of the month has arranged another marriage for you. Murong Zhining thought thoughtfully: "Little brother is just a shadow in my heart, returning Biwu to him is my wish for many years, I haven't thought about what it has to do with fate? I just want to find him first." ”
