This thought only existed in Zhiyin's mind for a moment, the two brothers were twins, and with only one back, she really couldn't determine, only faintly strange.

But the husband also told her that the uncle has been busy with official business recently, and he lives in the official office, and today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it is reasonable for him to appear here.

The man beside him was also outstanding, and he didn't know who it was, but a woman called the girl in Tsing Yi behind her: "Girl Feng, that is Brother Ling." ”

The girl smiled and should have been the one who had just shown a sympathetic look at Zhiyin.

The woman sighed: "No wonder everyone says, Jingzhong Langjun, with Song Guogong and our champion Lang tied for the first place in Fenghua, I saw it today, and I know what a fairy character is." ”

A woman next to her teased: "It's useless for you to see it, Song Guogong already has a lord, but we are the champion, you can still think about it, the county lord is here, why don't you call your mother?" ”

The Great Wei Dynasty inherited the Northern Dynasty, the Hu and Han lived together, and later unified the north and the south, and the atmosphere was relatively open, so they did not have much scruples about making jokes, and the women laughed during the banquet.

Zhiyin also laughed, and her eyes quietly looked at the Feng girl just now.

She knows who Song Guogong is, born in the Bohai Feng clan, has been by the empress's side since childhood, the most loved, and later was named Song Guogong, in charge of Zhongshu Province, is the empress's most important right-hand man.

But the empress's husband was not him, but Zhou Xuanying, the Duke of Chu. It is said that the one who is two years younger than the empress is the husband chosen by the empress for her when she was young. However, his personality is extremely jealous, and he targets Song Guogong everywhere, and often instructs the imperial history to impeach the ministers in Beijing who "spoil concubines and kill wives", and propose that the imperial court prohibit men from taking concubines.

Although the original intention was to remind the empress not to forget her "main room" status, and her proposal was not approved, it also curbed the trend of officials taking concubines to a certain extent, so although he was not liked by the empress and courtiers, his reputation among women was good.

This girl is not only the sister of Song Guogong, but also the girl of the Bohai Feng clan.

She was looking casually, but she saw that the woman was still looking in the opposite direction amid the laughter of the crowd.

And at the banquet over there, Song Guogong had already left, leaving only his husband and brother.

Zhiyin was slightly stunned, and when she looked over again, the Feng girl had already withdrawn her gaze and listened to the women at the banquet talking and laughing, as if everything in Fang Cai was just her illusion.

Zhiyin was clear in an instant.

It seems that this lady seems to be an admirer of that husband and brother......

She looked at the attic over there twice and three times, but she couldn't hide it from Xie Mingting's eyes. Sensing that she was looking at him, he frowned slightly, and walked back to his place and sat down as usual.

Today is a palace banquet, and it is impossible for Yun Zhi, a "dead person", to attend the banquet, so he participated in the banquet today as Xie Mingting, even if he was bumped into by her, it would not be strange.

If he was playing Yun Ji, her husband, it wouldn't be surprising that she would look this way.

But he is Xie Mingting now, what does she see him doing? Didn't she know that he was her uncle, and he should avoid suspicion?

A sound of gold and jade sounded in the night, interrupting his thoughts, it was the Holy Lord and the Duke of Chu Guogong who had arrived.

The guests in the corridors on both sides stood up and saluted, shouting long live.

"Get up."

Empress Ying Huaiyu was on the Linbo Pavilion and said with a smile. She is a very young girl, about the age of Hua Xin, and she was also born with a beautiful face and a jade tree. At this moment, the robe is solemn, the high bun is in the wind, and the gorgeous twelve chapters on the clothes add a bit of majesty to the world.

"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival is both a state banquet and a family banquet, so you don't have to be polite."

There was another famous young man standing beside her, standing with his arms crossed, his appearance was delicate and beautiful, but there was a haunting aura between his eyebrows, and at a glance, he knew that he had a bad temper, it was Zhou Xuanying, the Duke of Chu.

- With her husband's identity, no matter how much the empress dislikes him, he is still the only one who can appear by her side on this occasion and accept the bowing of hundreds of officials.

Everyone is thankful and sitting, the time has come, the empress immediately ordered someone to pass the meal, under the pavilion, singing and dancing, sheng flute pipa, Zhezhi green waist.

Zhiyin was not interested in this kind of royal banquet, but she sat patiently with her mother-in-law, and suddenly, she felt that someone in the Linbo Pavilion was looking at her, looking for her, and the strange feeling of being stared at disappeared again.

She then realized that it was the direction where the empress was, and she was unsure in her heart, so she thought she was wrong.

In the Linbo Pavilion, the empress retracted her gaze: "That's the bride of my aunt for Yun Jianna?" ”

"Isn't Yun Jian in Jiankang, how to get married."

The imperial court has its own intelligence organization Wu Gootai, which monitors all ethnic groups in Beijing, and Feng Siyuan immediately reported that the lord of Wuwei County ordered the eldest son to pretend to be the youngest son to marry. The empress couldn't cry or laugh: "How can my aunt be so ridiculous." ”

Her mother, Empress Taishang Pei, and the cousin of the lord of Wuwei, Liangzhou Gongqi Yun, are cousins, and her husband is the cousin of the lord of Wuwei, so she calls her aunt.

There are some things that the county lord of Wuwei doesn't know, but she knows as a monarch. This time, Xie Yunzhi stayed in Jiangnan to check the army's salary and silver in accordance with her order, because the local military and political officials were complicit in transferring the dirty silver in advance, and nothing could be found. So he thought of this method and ordered him to "die" the golden cicada to get out of the shell, so that those people could relax their vigilance.

Then, she asked Yun Ji's "corpse" to be transported back to Luoyang, claiming that it was a "serious injury". In this way, it is clear that Xie Yunji is "dead", but the court is secretly trying to cover up his death, true and false, false and true, those people are convinced of his "death", and since then, they have been celebrating with peace of mind, and it is really that Yun Jian has found out something.

What she didn't expect was that the county lord of Wuwei actually believed it and welcomed the Gu family daughter who was engaged by Yun Ji through the door, wanting the eldest son to succeed in marriage.

Feng Siyuan's face was slightly solemn: "In this way, Yun Zhi will return to Beijing in the future......"

"What then? Have they rounded up? Ying Huaiyu said, "If it has already been done, why don't you wait for Yun Ji to come back, and I will come forward and give that woman to his two brothers?" ”

Although Zhou Xuanying, the Duke of Chu, was present in the cabinet, the empress's face was only towards Feng Siyuan, obviously this sentence was with him.

How ridiculous this matter is, a helpless smile surged in Feng Siyuan's eyes, and before he could speak, a mocking sneer was clearly heard from his side, it was Zhou Xuanying.

Feng Siyuan was a little embarrassed, and then continued: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate." ”

"I always have to ask Gu Niangzi's own opinion." He said.

The empress also heard the sneer, but she didn't care, and laughed narrowly: "Anyway, both of their brothers look the same, one is literary and one is martial, and Ming Ting is also a rare excellent son in Beijing, if she likes Yun Zhi, she doesn't know if she likes Ming Ting." ”

"It's not enough for Your Majesty to have one of his own, so all the women in the world are like this."

Zhou Xuanying's words suddenly sounded very clearly in the pavilion, and he stood up: "In the opinion of the ministers, whether a man or a woman, there should only be one partner, not to mention that the Gu family girl and Xie Yun's marriage have been decided early, and Chen Liuhou's mansion is like this now, how is it different from cheating marriage?" ”

He is a posture to leave, and the ministers and ladies are sitting on both sides of the Linbo Pavilion, which is also very conspicuous. The empress was just joking, and she was annoyed by him so carelessly, and when she saw that he was leaving, her face sank for a moment: "The banquet has just begun, where are you going?" ”

Zhou Xuanying replied coldly: "Didn't Your Majesty want to see Xie Mingting?" Go and call him. As he spoke, he went to the minister's seat.

Feng Siyuan smiled but didn't say a word, and the empress was angry: "This vinegar essence!" ”

She just praised Xie Mingting, but that was also a fact. In fact, since the year before last, she was named the champion in the palace and deliberately mentioned it as a confidant, he has targeted Ming Court everywhere, often so yin and yang.

However, regarding the case in Dengzhou, she did have a few words that she wanted to ask Ming Ting's opinion, so she didn't stop it anymore, and Ren Zhou Xuanying left.

The sudden departure of the Duke of Chu in the Linbo Pavilion was seen by the ministers, and they were very surprised, just when he was wondering if the "emperor" was out of harmony again, he had already come to the banquet, and he ignored the salute of everyone, and called Xie Mingting with a cold face:

"Xie Yousi, Your Majesty is invited, let's go."

The ministers all around cast sympathetic glances at Xie Mingting, and said in their hearts that Zhuang Yuanlang would have to be embarrassed by the Duke of Chu again. Xie Mingting himself was still calm, got up and went to Linbo Pavilion.

"Xie Qing, you're here." The empress said with some embarrassment.

Xie Mingting gave a courtesy: "I don't know what Your Majesty called the ministers?" ”

The empress then asked about the Dengzhou case and the law, Xie Mingting replied in an orderly manner, and Feng Siyuan, the Duke of Song Guo, occasionally interjected a few words.

The maids and eunuchs in the pavilion have all retreated, only four people are inside, and the corridors on both sides are far away from the Linbo Pavilion, although there is no window to cover, there is no possibility of leaking secrets.

Therefore, the people in the corridors on both sides only saw that Zhuang Yuanlang was talking happily with the empress and Song Guogong, but they couldn't hear what they said, and the noble ladies smiled and complimented the lord of Wuwei: "Ling Lang is really valued by the Holy Master." ”

I'm afraid that the instrument is so heavy that it will take people in.

Lord Wuwei smiled silently.

In the Linbo Pavilion, Zhou Xuanying became more and more jealous the more she looked at it, and suddenly got up and lifted the curtain to go out.

Soon, he went and returned, and when the song and dance on the banquet platform of Your Excellency had ended, thunderous applause broke out in the surrounding banquet, and the empress got up and smiled: "Reward! ”

She grabbed a handful of money and sprinkled it down the pavilion, and there were bursts of laughter and thanksgiving from below, probably because the musicians who had just performed had won it.

At this time, the palace people served wine, and the empress personally poured a glass and handed it to Xie Mingting: "Mingting, you can also drink a cup." ”

She poured herself another cup and said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Ling has married a wife, this cup, I wish you to find a beautiful woman as soon as possible and conclude a good relationship." ”

This cup of monarchs and ministers drank together, and the empress only didn't know about the fact that the lord of Wuwei County ordered him to marry him, and Xie Mingting could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and lightly thanked him and drank the wine in the cup.

After putting the cup down, he quietly looked at Zhou Xuanying, the Duke of Chu who was always silent.

Zhou Xuanying shook his cup at him and smiled proudly.

Xie Mingting soon returned to the banquet, and as he expected, a fire gradually ignited at the bottom of his abdomen, and his steps were also floating. The little guards on the side hurriedly surrounded him: "Yo, Xie Shaoqing is drunk, the little one will help you down to rest." ”

The person who recognized it was Zhou Xuanying, he didn't do much useless struggle, and was obediently taken off the table.

In the opposite banquet, a woman with sharp eyes hurriedly said to the lord of Wuwei: "Hey, hasn't this banquet just begun?" How did your eldest man go? ”

Zhiyin also glanced at it when she heard this, and the figure that looked like Lang Jun was really gone, and at this time, the empress left the table, and everyone got up and saluted. The women also bowed, but there was some mockery in their eyes.

The county lord of Wuwei naturally understood what they had misunderstood, and smiled and didn't care: "No matter what he does, it's probably because he is busy with official business, so he went back to approve the file." ”

She wasn't worried that her eldest son would be favored by the empress.

With Xuanying here, the empress couldn't say that it was a man, so she couldn't even fly a male fly.

The crane slave should have returned home in advance, otherwise when the bride returned home and disappeared from others, she would be exposed.

*

Ziwei City, Huiyou Palace.

Under the stone steps with lush flowers and trees and moonlight, the son of the Wuwei County Lord, who had expected to return home, had been waiting for a quarter of an hour.

This is the left side of the Empress's Bedroom Emblem Hall, standing under the stone steps, and its window is visible.

The autumn wind was whining, and the night breeze in the Mid-Autumn Festival was already a little cold, but his wide vermilion official uniform was soaked with sweat, and his jade-like face was also hot with sweat, and his eyes were red.

He was also a grown man, and he naturally understood what that surging desire represented, let alone someone who had stirred up such a fire with his own hands a few days ago.

It's just that it was a spark at the time, but now it's a molten flame!

This Zhou Xuanying dared to put dirty medicine in the wine given to him by the saint!

Xie Mingting's face turned pale.

He has been watching Zhuang Lao since he was a child, and when he became an adult, he studied Confucianism and Legalism, and he has never been pure-hearted, and he doesn't even care about life and death, let alone violent emotional fluctuations for foreign affairs.

This is the first time, you don't have to realize that he also wants to kill people, and he will get rid of Zhou Xuanying as soon as possible!

The little guard who brought him over hid in the shadow of the garden, and when he caught a glimpse of him, he was still standing on the rocky ground like a pine mountain, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.

It is worthy of the Zhilan Yushu that the nobles in Beijing are vying for, and the skill of "seven days of drunkenness" is so strong that it can also be resisted.

It's just that this medicine is extremely powerful, and it will attack three times, and most of the Lang Jun can't resist it. The master is determined to let him fall out of favor with the saint, after all, the saint never wants a "dirty man", I don't know who this glorious champion will find to relieve him?

The one who smiled reminded him: "Lord Shaoqing, be patient and wait, the Holy Lord will be back soon." ”

Before his words fell, the shadow of a man and a woman entangled suddenly appeared on the window of the main hall, and a woman was approached by a man, as if she wanted to push him away but was weak, while scolding angrily: "Presumptuous! ”

"How dare you drugged me! You are a bully! I want to punish your nine clans! ”

Immediately, the man's chuckle pulled her into his arms with a slight tug: "Bully? In the past, did the ministers bully His Majesty less? Why was His Majesty very happy in the past, but now he scolds his ministers for bullying the king? ”

"Or is it because the minister failed to fulfill the obligations of the imperial husband and sent Xie Mingting to His Majesty's bed, and His Majesty became angry?"

The two quarreled fiercely, it was the empress Ying Huaiyu and Zhou Xuanying, the duke of Chu.

Even though he had expected it, Xie Mingting was almost laughed at by the absurd scene in front of him - Zhou Xuanying, the dignified Duke of Chu and the husband of the Son of Heaven, actually decided that the empress was interested in him, so he drugged him.

Don't say that Ying Huaiyu doesn't mean anything to him, how can he be like Zhou Xuanying, like Zhou Xuanying, fighting every day like a jealous husband and jealousy.

Xie Mingting's face turned pale, and he turned around to leave, but in the quiet night, there was a sudden exclamation from the woman, who had broken free from his embrace, Ying Huaiyu, who had broken free from his embrace, was hugged to the window bookcase, held her face and kissed her hard.

The utensils on the case crackled and rolled down the bookcase, and it was a mess. The shadow of the two kissing was reflected on the window by candlelight without reservation, Xie Mingting didn't dare to look at it, turned around and left.

The little guard's laughter sounded in the night breeze behind him: "Huh? Are you leaving, sir? ”

"But don't hold on, this medicine can't be relieved, but it's going to die!"

*

Ziwei City, West City Gate.

Xie Mingting's steps were fast, and he forced the guards in the palace to inspect the token, and the guard Chen Li was already waiting there in the car.

Seeing that his son-in-law's face was as cold as iron in the silver moonlight, he hurriedly jumped out of the car and asked, "What's wrong with the son?" ”

Xie Mingting only had two words: "Go back." ”

It was easy to get back to the house, and the raging fire had burned his mind, and there were layers of black fog in front of him, and everything was not real.

It was the shadow of men and women entangled in the candlelight, and the hands that were buckled around the waist that day and night...... He took a deep breath and closed his eyes to force himself not to think about it.

When I opened my eyes again, my sanity also returned a little, and I realized that I was not going back to Luming Temple, but Qilin Temple.

He had been pushed into the bath by Chen Li, who supported him with one hand, and turned around and instructed the maids: "Go and fetch some water, the prince wants to bathe." ”

"It's going to be cold." He added. Turning back to Xie Mingting's cold gaze, "Hehe" laughed twice, "Don't be afraid, just take a cold bath." ”

Xie Mingting glared at him coldly.

Considering that he had been delayed for a lot of time on the way back, and his body was really uncomfortable, he had to stay, hoping that the cold water could extinguish the dirty desire in his heart.

I hope Gu doesn't come back so quickly.

Chen Li poured the water into the bucket, took the change of clothes from the maid and put it on the hanger for him, and set off to go out.

In fact, he didn't think about anything, as a man, he naturally saw what kind of medicine the prince had been in, and he also knew that he was taboo to be involved with the young lady.

But the prince has always been pure-hearted and has few desires, that is, it is just a cold shower of Chinese medicine to relieve himself, and when the young lady comes back, it will naturally be solved, and it will not be exposed.
