Chapter 21: Playing with fire

Boom~

Boom~

In the silent dormitory, the sound of bells came in, and the light gradually brightened.

Between the beds, the Queen Mother, who was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, was disturbed by the bells day after day, frowned slightly, and then turned over and touched her side.

簌~

簌簌簌~

The Queen Mother's right hand paused slightly, and then she opened her eyes to look, but saw that the outside of the bed was empty, and the skirt next to the dressing table was gone.

"What about people......

The Queen Mother was a little puzzled, thinking that Xuanji Zhenren had something to do at night, and was about to continue to lie down, but found that there was a white hairball on the tea couch in the outhouse window.

The Queen Mother propped up her upper body and looked carefully, only to find that the fluffy thing was a big white bird, sleeping unconscious with her head tilted, and lying on her soft pillow very carefully.

"Huh?"

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up slightly, turned over and put on palace shoes, came to the outhouse, and looked carefully in front of her:

"Giggles? Love Concubine? ”

Ai Concubine is the name of the person, and 'Giggle' is the name of Xuanji Zhenren, because the bird has been eating and drinking on the boat for a long time when she comes back, and the Queen Mother has also called it so.

But it's a pity that the bird's schedule is quite regular, and he goes crazy to play when he shouldn't sleep, and he doesn't want to wake up when he should sleep.

The Queen Mother shouted for a long time, and when she saw that the bird didn't pay attention to her, her eyes moved slightly, and she thought about it and said:

"Big fat bird?"

"Tss

Bird, who was sleeping on a soft pillow and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, raised his head when he heard the sound, and his big round eyes were full of shock.

The Queen Mother was satisfied, and raised her hand to press lightly:

"It's okay, this palace just sees that you sleep too hard and calls you, continue to sleep."

“……?”

The bird became more and more shocked, but immediately tilted his head, rolled to the side, fell into the gap between the soft pillow and the backrest, and stopped moving.

The Queen Mother did not disturb the birds that slept as piglets, and began to look for them in the dormitory.

Since the bird was in her house, the night terror must have been in front of her, and the water was gone, and the two of them ......

Thinking of this, the words that the Queen Mother was about to shout stopped abruptly, and her footsteps were silent, and she opened the door lightly, and came to the next door to take a look.

Next door is Hongyu's residence, although Hongyu seems to be a palace maid, but since she was a child, she has followed the queen mother, and after entering the palace, she also has the official position of 'maid', her actual status is quite high, and her residence is also quite bright.

Although it was just getting dark, Hongyu was already up and was sitting in front of the dressing table to clean up, and it didn't seem to realize that someone was coming from Fushou Palace.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother did not alarm Hongyu, and walked out of the gate again, going to the tea house in the side hall, and before she got closer, she heard the soft sound of clinking glasses~', as well as the words of men and women:

"Don't drink so much, there's something important to do today."

"Don't worry, I won't pour a thousand cups~ What kind of ...... is this?"

"I have a big tongue when I speak, and I can't pour a thousand cups...... The Queen Mother is here......"

The Queen Mother didn't expect her to be so careful, and the Night Terror Hall could still hear who the person was, seeing this, she hurriedly ran to the corner of the verandah, looked up, and saw that in the window of the side hall, Xuanji Zhenren's cheeks were red, sitting on the couch and leaning on the small case.

The Night Terror Hall is on the opposite side of the small case, the left side is intact, but the right side is taken off, revealing a slender arm with perfect lines, and with the rapid action of pulling the clothes, you can clearly see the bulging of muscles under the skin......

The Queen Mother's eyes widened slightly, and she walked out of the corner, assuming the majesty of the world, and said:

"Shui'er, what are you two doing?"

Night Terror wanted to pull up the clothes, but the robe on the left was torn by Xuanji Zhenren and couldn't do it, seeing that the Queen Mother ran over directly, he had to get up like this, and arched his hand:

"The Queen Mother."

Xuanji Zhenren reacted flatly, shaking his wine glass, and responded softly:

"What can you do when you drink with a man? Why did you wake up so early? ”

The Queen Mother's eyes were obviously unhappy, but the reason for her unhappiness was because her best friend didn't take her with her, she came to her with a dignified demeanor, and was about to say a few words, but she found that there were dark red scratches on the inside of Night Terror's arms, and her brows couldn't help frowning:

"Night Terror, you're hurt?"

Night Terror Hall is not very good at talking about last night's incident, it is still brewing, and the real person next to Xuanji helps answer:

"It's okay to fight, I'll fight."

Night Terror was about to nod, but when she thought that the face of the Queen Mother in front of her was so round and jade, that she picked up the saber next to her, and was about to use the scabbard to suck Xuanji's real buttocks:

"You're drinking too much, aren't you? How can you start lightly or severely? ”

"Uh......"

The night terror hall was protected by the Queen Mother, and she was really flattered, but she couldn't let Xuanji Zhenren be beaten in vain, so she hurriedly crossed in the middle, and said with a pleasant face:

"It's common to have a little bit of a friction in the exchange, so you don't have to worry about ......"

The Queen Mother is a pretext to play, but her expression is slightly fierce, and she smacks on the buttocks of her best friend who drinks and doesn't call her.

Syllable~

Xuanji Zhenren wasn't angry, but just leaned on the small case and looked at the night terror hall that wanted to protect her and was not easy to stop:

"You go get busy first. The saint departs at noon, you have to accompany the escort, go to pack up and have a meal first, don't miss the hour. ”

The Queen Mother originally wanted to chat for a while, but she had to go to Yutan Villa for a vacation soon, and she was not in a hurry for a while, so she also nodded:

"The Holy Honor Guard walks slowly, you go eat something first, don't go hungry on the road for a long time."

Night Terror nodded with a smile, and after saying goodbye to the Queen Mother, he took his sword out of the side hall and whistled:

"Huh-~"

"Twitter......"

There was a feeble grunt in the side hall, and then the bird staggered out of the window, landed on his shoulder, and turned his head back and stopped moving.

The Night Terror Hall put the bird and walked out, and just turned the corner of the verandah, he heard another voice from the side hall:

"Shui'er, you slept here with Night Terror last night?"

"Uh-huh~"

?!

Night Terror Hall was staggering, I didn't expect the Queen Mother to ask like this, and I didn't expect Xuanji Zhenren to answer like this, but he didn't want to interject after all, so he didn't hear anything, and walked out of Fushou Palace quickly.

Yesterday, Da Benben also lived in the palace, and in the morning he should have been waiting for the empress to clean up, and then set off from Tianjie to Yutan Villa with the forbidden army.

The Night Terror Hall is now going directly to Changle Palace, maybe it happened to bump into the empress and King Jing bathing and changing clothes, and went outside the station, so he went out of the imperial city first, took the horses and changed into the black official robes, and went to the black ya, which is not far from the palace.

Last night, I played on the scene, and touched the sword of a rich man, whether the sword was worth it or not, it didn't come from the right way, and the night terror hall took it in its hand or lost it, and it really became a snitch, so the borrowed sword had to be returned.

As for the way to return it, it is simple, the wealthy nobleman lost his sword in Longyin Tower, and the guests don't care about the owner and have to report to the official to find it, otherwise it will have a bad reputation. Night Terror Hall handed over the sword to the black ya, and casually said that the snitch would sell the stolen goods in the black market in the city after he got it, and the people below could hand it over to him after recovering it.

After this matter was done, Night Terror Hall found a random place to eat on the street, and then returned to the imperial city and came to Changle Palace.

It is customary for the empress to go to Yutan Villa to recuperate in autumn every year, and the personal palace maid will also accompany her, and the court meeting to discuss serious matters is held in Yutan Villa.

Although it sounds a little troublesome, but Yutan Villa is only more than ten miles away from the city, and the Great Wei Dynasty is a five-day court, and there is no shortage of carriages and horses for the courtiers who can go to the court to discuss politics, because the work time is postponed because of the change of place, and there is no need to get up at four o'clock in the morning to prepare, so the courtiers have never had any opinions.

When I came to Changle Palace, I could already see many palace maids walking back and forth in the palace pavilion, and picked up the objects commonly used by the empress on weekdays.

In the Cheng'an Palace, Dongfang Liren was still sitting in the study, seriously helping his sister with official affairs.

Night Terror Hall came to the door of the temple and found that Ben Ben was busy with national affairs, so it was naturally difficult to go in and disturb, so he did his own job as a guard and stood outside the door as a door god; The birds that were still sleeping were placed in the bushes outside the temple.

The empress was weak during this time, and she didn't have the energy to deal with trivial government affairs, so she only asked about more critical matters, and the other messes were handed over to Dongfang Liren to deal with.

The things that can be sent to the table of the emperor of a country, in the eyes of ordinary people, must be some major events related to the rise and fall of a country, but in fact they are not. The territory of the Great Wei is so large, there are indeed a lot of things that happen every day, but the countless feudal officials and magistrates are enough to deal with most things, and the empress can just see it, and the most headache is the most numerous, the most troublesome thing every day, is that the officials have nothing to do.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Taizu was full of energy, and gave the official the privilege of not being guilty of his words, so it has become a practice for the official in the court to write a book every day, and the dog raised by a certain courtier barked twice when the people passed by, and he could write a large article with enthusiasm, saying that the dog barked because of the power of the people, and this official may have a place to bully the people on weekdays, and it should be thoroughly investigated.

The empress can't help but read these trivial things, if the reply is too perfunctory, the official won't have to worry about what to write tomorrow.

Now these trivial matters fall on Dongfang Liren's head, which is even more head-catching, because she is the one who finds fault with the official, and she can't count how many times she has said it just because the black government has not known the power and expenditure is too big.

Dongfang is angry from people, but she can't be angry yet, as for a board warning, don't think about it, she dares to do those words and officials dare to die, and then people will leave her name for thousands of years.

Dongfang Liren sat behind the desk, holding a tirade in both hands, his face was black, and when he found that the night terror hall was coming, he was probably afraid that he would not be able to restrain his emotions and curse and be heard by the dignified adults, so he said:

"Night Terror Hall, you go to Minglongtan to practice first, and then the king will call you later."

Seeing this, the Night Terror Hall didn't say much, turned around and went to the Minglong Pond behind the Cheng'an Palace, preparing to practice and wait for the stupid to finish.

But as soon as he walked to the lake, his ears moved slightly, and he heard a voice from inside the Cheng'an Palace:

Crash~

The sound of splashing water is located in the tiger head door at the back of the bedroom.

“……”

Night Terror was stunned, and he didn't hear what he wanted to do, but as soon as he was about to continue walking, another voice came from inside:

Boom~

It's clearly calling him.

Night Terror's eyes were a little inexplicable, first glanced at the direction of the study on the east side of the main hall, and then jumped on the terrace of the bedroom on tiptoe, entered it silently, came to the screen, and whispered outside the tiger head door:

"Yuhu girl, are you looking for me?"

"Come in." The soft and familiar voice of the royal sister sounded from the small bath.

Night Terror opened his mouth:

"King Jing is in the palace, you ......"

"It's so far away, as long as you don't make a lot of noise, how can King Jing hear? Come on in. ”

Night Terror Hall was also helpless, took out the face towel used last night from his arms, tied it to his eyes, and then gently pushed open the sliding door.

Whew-

The small bathroom is filled with mist, and the water in the pool is also stained milky white by the snow lake.

The Empress of the Great Wei was lying in the water with her back against the white jade, her hands were not covered, although she was defenseless, but the pool water was not transparent, and she could only see two semicircles floating on the surface, but on the ground at the edge of the pool, there were red skirts and small clothes and pants scattered at random.

Night Terror closed the sliding door, drove to the edge of the bath, and found that his foot touched the skirt, so he half-squatted down and picked up the red dress:

"You're seriously injured?"

"Old wounds, the weather will be like this when the weather gets cooler, whether it is heavy or not, it is not light."

The empress splashed the water and sprinkled it among the bottomless white ravines, and asked:

"I heard that Sun Wuji came to the capital, and you also learned swordsmanship?"

"Yes, I found the Spirit Sword in Wuzhou and sent someone to send it back, but Sun Lao Sword Saint came directly to teach swordsmanship, and he didn't let me speak...... You want to learn. ”

"I want to learn the way, I don't need you to teach ......"

When the Empress of Great Wei said this, her words came to an abrupt end.

Night Terror paused after moving, holding the folded skirt in his left hand, and pinching a small triangular piece of cloth on the ground with his right hand, his expression changed slightly.

He didn't scan the house before entering the door, and the clothes wouldn't move by themselves, and there was something clearly on it, and when he got it in his hand, the familiar touch and shape made him understand that he accidentally took the original flavor of Yuhu, and wanted to drop it directly, which didn't seem appropriate; But it's obviously not quite right to put away your clothes without recognizing what it is......

When the Empress of Great Wei saw that the night terror hall took her underwear, she couldn't put it down, frowning slightly:

"Just put it aside, you don't have to clean it up for me."

Night Terror Hall behaved like this, but as if nothing had happened, he put the skirt and even the triangular cloth on the chaise longue, and asked:

"How long does the Holy Lord want to recuperate in Yutan Villa?"

"It depends on the situation, as little as ten years or as many as two months."

The Empress of Great Wei raised her hand, picked up the remaining belly pocket, put it on the other side, and then said:

"You're going to be patrolling in shifts at Yutan Villa these days. Last time, I promised you a chance to give the people around you a chance to learn the jade bone diagram, I just watched it once, and I am afraid that I will have to delay for a long time when I go to Yutan Villa. If you want them to learn as soon as possible, you can let them live in the palace these days, anyway, the saint is not there these days, and there is food and drink in the palace, which also saves you from being an errand outside and worrying about your family all day long. ”

When Night Terror Hall heard this, he was quite surprised in his heart, he ran into the small bath, and wanted to take this opportunity to ask if he could take Ning Er and Sanniang into the palace to learn the jade bone diagram when there was no one in Changle Palace, but he didn't expect Yuhu to speak directly first.

"The imperial city is important, and in the absence of the saint, there will be no problem for them to enter and stay in the Son of Heaven's bedroom."

The Empress of Great Wei shrugged her shoulders casually: "The place where the saint is here is the imperial city dormitory, and the place where the saint is not there, no matter how big the scale is, it is just a house." If you come over every day to take a look, you can be regarded as guarding the imperial city at both ends; However, I still remind you that the Ming Dragon Diagram is an important weapon of the country, and if it is to be passed on to future generations, the saints cannot dispose of it at will. Now that it's in your hands, let you teach the people around you, if something goes wrong and causes the Ming Dragon Diagram to be lost, your guilt is not small, and you will really lose your head.

Night Terror laughed softly; "I naturally know the severity of it, I change guards with Xuanji Zhenren in shifts every day, and when I come back, I can check inside and outside the imperial city once, and let them learn the jade bone diagram in Minglongtan in the past few days, and let them leave the palace when they learn it."

The Empress of Great Wei nodded, and also talked more about this matter, but after thinking about it carefully, there didn't seem to be any formal topic, so she sat up a little, let two white soft balls surface, red dots looming, and joked:

"I'm packing up my things outside, and it's going to take a while to go, so why don't you come down and help me rub my back."

??

Seeing Yuhu coming again, Night Terror Hall had the experience of dealing with it before, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "It's okay." Then he unbuckled his belt and prepared to go into the pool.

The Empress of Great Wei tilted her head slightly, seeing that the Night Terror Hall was thickened, she was not panicked, after all, she knew that the Night Terror Hall was scaring her.

She moved to the side to make some room, half-leaning on the edge of the bath and waiting, without any sense of urgency, and saw that Night Terror Hall slowed down after taking off her robe, and teased:

"Take it off? Why don't you dare to take it off? ”

“……?”

Night Terror Hall really didn't believe that Tiger Niuniu could stare at him and take it off, thinking about it with his hands crossed to the left and right, ready to take off the silver soft armor and try it.

As a result, he was right, no matter how tiger Niu Niu said, she was also a woman after all, how could this kind of thing be given for nothing.

But what he didn't calculate was that Yuhu didn't mean to admit it head-on, but when he pulled up the soft armor with both hands to cover his head, he suddenly pressed his hand on the white jade tuan'er on the left side, and coughed violently a few times:

"Ahem-a-a-"

The cough was quite loud, and there was a sudden movement in the study on the east side of the palace, followed by the sound of trotting in this direction.

Stomp ......

"You!"

Night Terror was caught off guard and pulled the soft armor down suddenly, trying to grab the door, but because the pull-down action was too big, the black scarf tied to the eyes was also brought to the nose, and the vision was immediately restored.

Then the scene that fell into view was a small bathroom shrouded in white mist, and a beautiful flower branch trembling in the pool.

The Empress of Great Wei wanted to cough out the sound hard, it was definitely not good to lean on the bath, at this time she was sitting in the bath, the water did not reach the ribs, and her right hand was holding the watermelon on the left, and she could clearly see that the white jade fingers of the onion fell into softness.

And on the right side, because there was no restraint, he coughed hard, trembling violently, and a touch of red shook out the afterimage, but with Wu Kui's eyesight, he could see it very clearly.

!!

There was an instant silence in the bathroom.

The empress suddenly stopped coughing, raised her left hand to block the other side, and turned into a posture in front of her crossed hands to protect herself, and her face immediately turned a little red.

And the night terror hall is the first time, not only is it not half nervous to take advantage of Yuhu accidentally, but it is quite cool, and the meaning of the eyes is estimated to be - suffered a loss, right? Let you tease me......

Because the footsteps were running in this direction, they reached the door after passing through the main hall, and the Night Terror Hall didn't have time to see Yuhu's reaction, so he picked up his robe and turned around and ran out, opening the door and rushing out of the bedroom in an instant, jumping out of the window......
