Da Wei Chun

Chapter 426 The beauty of the beautiful day, the beauty is like jade

The emperor sat cross-legged on the grand master's chair, constantly flipping the cheese on the stove.Bursts of light smoke rose, and the hall was filled with the smell of scorched animal fur.

Since he came to the throne, he has not done many actions to benefit the people. Instead, he has become famous for his brutality and tyranny. On the contrary, the world has become more and more turbulent, with more and more rebellions year after year.

But when stoves and kangs become popular all over the world, it should be able to change the world's outlook.Thousands of common people may therefore be grateful and praise him as the emperor.

Thinking of the scene when Wanmin praised, Yuan Ke couldn't stop being excited.

And all of this is due to Li Chengzhi...

The emperor couldn't help being a little proud: Li Chengzhi's reputation for rebellion is well known, just like a fierce horse, few can ride it.But in my hands, wouldn't it still shine brightly?
While feeling emotional, Liu Teng entered the hall lightly, and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear:
"A dark man came to report: King Yingchuan did not return to the mansion after leaving the palace, but guarded outside the gate of Changhe. After Li Chengzhi left the palace and agreed on Tanshan's breach of the contract, the two separated..."

The dark people in the Northern Wei Dynasty are similar to the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty. They were set up by Emperor Xiaowen to monitor officials.However, the number of people is small, there is only one division, and it is only active in Beijing.Controlled by close ministers or trusted eunuchs.But the official position is higher, and the most common secret officials are from the sixth rank.

After Yuan Ke ascended the throne, it was mainly used to monitor the clan and individual ministers.

The emperor replied indifferently: "Use the stone to raise the amount of stones, and let the traitors and coquettish people hide..."

"Two quarters ago, Her Majesty the Queen ordered the palace servants to prepare for the trip. She wanted to return to the Gao Mansion to visit relatives tomorrow, and hosted a banquet for Li Chengzhi's family..."

Invite Li Chengzhi's family?
The emperor asked suspiciously: "Is Li Chengzhi's father in Beijing? I remember he mentioned it at noon, saying that he had been on leave for a few days..."

Liu Teng replied: "It should be so!"

"Even Gao Zhao has resigned to her fate, but she still doesn't give up? The empress is extremely bored, always looking for something to do..."

The emperor waved his hand carelessly, "Gao Zhao has her own measure, so let her go!"

Liu Tenggong should be right, and was about to step back, when he saw Huang Men coming to Bingchuan: "Your Majesty, Li Chengzhi seeks to see you!"

The emperor couldn't help laughing: "I really can't bear to talk about it, pass it on!"

Entering the hall, Li Chengzhi thought that the emperor was roasting meat on the stove when he smelled a faint strange smell.When I got closer, I realized that it was grilling cheese.

Self-taught?
It's a pity that there are no potatoes and sweet potatoes in this era...

"I have seen His Majesty..."

The emperor looked at him carefully, and waved his hands impatiently: "Speak up if you have something to say!"

The two have been getting along for a long time, and they have roughly touched each other's temperament.As soon as he saw Li Chengzhi entered the palace, he stared at his face suspiciously, Yuan Ke knew that Li Chengzhi must have something to ask for.

"Your Majesty once asked me in the afternoon: How should I reward my minister for meritorious service?"

Ok?
The emperor paused and stopped turning the cheese.Liu Teng quickly took the chopsticks.

Is the sun coming out of the west?

Li Chengzhi in the past has always been flattered: Hou Xinglang from the eighth rank can do it, and the tiger general from the fifth rank can also do it.For him, there seems to be no difference between high officials and low officials.Even though the salary has been fined for many years, he has never seen a strange expression on his face.

Today, he took the initiative to ask for an official?
Realizing that Liu Teng seemed to be winking, the emperor's heart moved: Could it be related to the banquet in Gaofu?

The emperor picked up a piece of dried cheese, took a breath and threw it into his mouth: "Speak!"

Li Chengzhi was heartbroken: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to be merciful and give me a decree. Xu Chen should follow the old example of Jin Jia Chong!"

Jia Chong of Jin...Two wives?
Yuan Ke almost sprayed the cheese he just ate into Li Chengzhi's face.

"You really dare to think about it?"

The emperor laughed angrily, "You have read the books of sages, don't you know the truth that there are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two masters in the house"? Or do you not want to get better in the future?"

This is the same reason as setting up two queens in the palace. The emperor knew the end of doing this without even thinking about it: there would be no time for a peaceful home in the future.

Regardless of Hu's family, she is only one of the nine concubines, but she takes care of her children and dares to fight the queen, let alone a flat wife?

Li Chengzhi gritted his teeth: "Gao Wenjun and Wei Yu are like sisters, they are both gentle and kind, and I have confidence..."

"Li Chengzhi, ask yourself, do you believe this?"

The emperor sneered and said, "Human nature is greedy, and it has always been long and long, and it will change. I don't see how virtuous the first emperor Feng was when he first entered the palace, and she was the biological sister of a compatriot, so what?"

In order to fight for the next position, Feng Run and Feng Qing used swords and swords, you come and go, poisoning and stabbing, how exciting?

Yuan Ke said again in a deep voice: "You must already know that this matter was written by me. With your intelligence, you should be able to see what is right and what is wrong. And I can even guess how much your parents and parents are thinking. points, but how come you don’t know how to follow the trend?”

Go with the flow?

It is nothing more than that after the Hu family's son succeeds to the throne, the Gao family will surely lose power.And nine times out of ten, Gao Zhao will be unlucky.From this point of view, as long as Li Chengzhi is smarter, he should stay away from Gao Zhao.

The emperor didn't want Gao Zhao to become a big man, so he didn't want a talent like Li Chengzhi to get too close to the Gao family.

If you think about it further, Li Chengzhi is only about 30 years old, so he should live for [-] or [-] years.After the training is done, it might not be possible for Li Chong, who was the first emperor, to assist the young emperor loyally.Therefore, the emperor never allowed Li Chengzhi and Gao Zhao to join forces.

He didn't force Li Chengzhi to regret the appointment, but acquiesced in accepting Gao Wenjun as his concubine, which was already good.

Li Chengzhi actually fantasized about marrying a flat wife?

dream!

As for the Hu family, who is in the same situation as him... After he murdered the queen twice, Yuan Ke has long since regretted that he should have changed the ancestral system too early.

Like this kind of vicious heart, how can we get a glimpse of it in the future, nine out of ten it is the kind that harms the country and the people.

But since it can be changed, of course it can be changed back...

If he could be persuaded so easily, Li Chengzhi would not have come to this.He bowed his head slightly, and argued in a low voice: "The subject is dull, and can't see that far, and only wants to point directly to the heart!"

What a direct point to the heart?
The emperor stared at Li Chengzhi up and down, as if looking at a rare treasure.

Li Chengzhi is dull?
Just a joke!
Then he knew that he might be implicated by Gao Zhao in the future, so why did he insist on going his own way?
It's really like what he said, he is ready to ignore it and let his temper go.

Is Gao Wenjun that good?
The emperor sneered faintly: "I didn't expect that you are still a seed of infatuation? Humph... no..."

Hearing the first half of the sentence at first, Li Chengzhi was secretly happy, thinking that the emperor would agree, but he suddenly turned a corner?
It was purely an instinctive reaction, Li Chengzhi suddenly raised his head: "Your Majesty, why?"

Yuan Ke laughed angrily: "What a rebellious minister, is your neck too itchy, or your life is too long, and you dare to question me? I have been so earnest, have I told the truth to the dog? That's all, Only by thinking of you will you make great contributions, and let me forgive you for this, Liu Teng, get out..."

Liu Teng made a gesture to take him, and kicked Li Chengzhi hard twice.It means don't push yourself too far.

Li Chengzhi was so discouraged, he bowed his head and retreated dejectedly, as if he had lost his soul, he left Shiqian Hall in a daze.

In the past, Li Chengzhi was always full of energy and high spirits.No matter whether he was demoted or fined, even when he was subjected to a cane, he had never been so despondent.

The emperor was so surprised: "I always thought that a person like Li Chengzhi who is free and unscrupulous, with a strong will and will rarely have a depression. I don't want to be trapped by love? Liu Teng, tell me, what is so good about a woman?" ?”

The old eunuch popped his eyes and opened his mouth for a long time, but he didn't know how to play it right?

Seeing his face full of hesitation, he was so embarrassed that the emperor realized: What is the benefit of asking a eunuch woman? Didn't he ask Yu Blind?
……

In the past, Li Chengzhi was so lively, but suddenly he became a dull gourd without a mouth, and he didn't even seem to want to talk much.

Knowing where his heart lies, Li Shixian also lazily persuaded him.

If you can't even figure out such a small matter, how can you talk about it?
Early the next morning, the family went to Li Shiliang's residence first.He didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly left in an hour, and then visited Gu Zangbo Li Shao.

It is indeed the queen who urged me too quickly...

The two families come from the same source and are family friends, so there are not so many distances.Both Guo Yuzhi and Mrs. Zheng were present.There were no outsiders, and Li Chengzhi and Li Shao's youngest sons who had not yet become officials served tea and wine.

In Youshi, they had to go to the Gaofu for a banquet, and both Li Shixian and Guo Yuzhi only drank a few cups.Seeing that Li Chengzhi was absent-minded, Li Shao signaled slightly, meaning what's wrong.

"Leave him alone!"

After replying, Li Shixian picked up his wine glass and said with a little worry: "Just after entering Beijing yesterday, an imperial edict from the queen came to the mansion: Your Highness wants to hold a banquet in the Gao Mansion... Dare I ask you brother: What is the meaning of this?"

Li Shao thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It's okay! Eight out of ten is the one who made his own decision, I'm afraid Gao Zhao didn't expect this festival!"

After a short pause, Li Shao pointed to the sky again, "With that person there, there will be no big waves..."

Li Shixian calmed down a little, and respected from a distance: "Thank you brother for clarifying the confusion, brother understands!"

There is no reason to go to a banquet without getting stuck.At the end of the time, Li Shixian got up and said goodbye to Li Shao.Just after Shenshi, he arrived at Yijing where Gaofu was located.

As soon as he entered the inner gate, he was greeted by Gaofu's servants, and someone immediately summoned him.Walking inside, there are still tens of feet away from the Gaozhao Mansion, and you can see a dense crowd standing outside the gate of Gaozhao Mansion.

Li Chengzhi reminded in a low voice: "The person who is the leader and the center is Gao Sikong!"

Li Sixian was startled.

He thought that if he could open the middle door of the Gao Mansion today, he would be Corporal Gao Zhao Lixian.But he didn't want him to be the emperor's relative, son-in-law, and rank among the third princes, and he brought his whole family to welcome him out of the mansion?

No wonder he was surprised, it's true that the two families are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles...

People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.Li Shixian didn't dare to neglect, got out of the carriage in a hurry, and went up to meet him quickly.

"Sikong welcomes you so much, Li is flattered!"

Li Shixian shouted impolitely, and bowed down with his fists in his arms, but before he could bend his waist, he was supported by Gao Zhao.

Gao Zhao had a smile on his face, and his words were unambiguous: "Huai Demo wants to be more polite, your two families are getting married soon, why do we need more courtesy? No matter the official title, you and I will be called brothers in the future! "

It is really rare for Gao Zhao to say such words.It can be seen how urgent his mind is.

Li Shixian was suspicious for a while: what did this rebellious son do, why did he feel that Gao Zhaosheng was afraid that his son-in-law would fly away?

The two hit it off as if they hit it off, and they climbed up the steps hand in hand.

Gao Zhan, his wife, and a group of servants greeted Li Shixian and his wife in unison.

Li Sixian was really flattered to see the dense crowd of worshipers.

From this scene alone, we can know the weight of Li Chengzhi in the hearts of Gao Zhao and Gao's family.

Suspicious in his heart, Li Shixian asked again: "Dare to ask Your Highness where, I wonder if Huaide is lucky enough to see Shuyan?"

"An edict came from the palace in the afternoon, saying that His Majesty summoned His Highness to discuss matters, so it is temporarily detained, and may not arrive until later..."

Speaking of the queen, Ren Gaozhao's face was as thick as a wall, and he couldn't help showing a bit of unnaturalness, "According to my brother's intention, it should be three or five days later, when Huaide visits the old and the old in Beijing, I will invite you to talk about it again." But I don't want Your Highness to be so anxious..."

Gao Zhao only said half of what he said, but how could Li Shixian not understand?
As expected by Li Shao, today's banquet was made by the empress, even Gao Zhao did not expect it.

And Gao Zhao obviously gave up his mind, suggesting that he can go to the Wei Mansion to ask for a marriage first, and then it will not be too late to come to the Gao Mansion to accept him.

The one that goes first is naturally the bigger one...

Li Sixian heaved a sigh of relief, and looked up at Li Chengzhi again.

Guo Yuzhi is not easy to point out to Li Chengzhi, but he knows everything about Li Shixian.Therefore, he already knew that the queen might have evil thoughts, and she had a heart of underestimating her son.

It's better if the queen is not here...

"Brother Shouwen is serious, Huaide has already been rude: I should have visited Beijing as soon as possible, but it was delayed until today..."

Gao Zhao laughed loudly: "It's not too late now!"

The two said polite words and entered the mansion arm in arm.

Li Shixian marveled that Gao Zhao was so respectful and virtuous as a corporal, but Gao Zhao secretly became suspicious: Li's ancestral home was already a low-ranking family, and Li Shixian lived at home for nearly ten years, and he was lucky to recover due to Li Chengzhi's achievements.Now he is only a captain of the seventh rank, two ranks behind Li Chengzhi.

But at this moment, it seems that there is a bit of calmness, calmness, stability, and calmness?

After thinking about it, I took it for granted: If it is really mediocre and mediocre, how can a son like Li Chengzhi be born?

He didn't know that Li Shixian was determined to be the emperor's father, not to mention that Gao Zhaocai was just Sikong, even if he really met Yuan Ke, he would definitely be neither humble nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor aggressive.

The two of you said something to each other, and they kept talking beautiful words.There is quite a gesture of sympathy and hatred for seeing each other, and everyone in the Gao family is amazed.

Gao Zhan approached ghostly, admiringly said: "You can do it?"

It means that he is evenly matched with Gao Zhao.

Li Chengzhi didn't make a sound, but said in his heart: nonsense.

When it comes to deceit and acting out of every occasion, Lee Si Hyun is not necessarily inferior to Gao Zhao.Otherwise, why was he scolded by Jingzhou Shilin as "an old traitor and a big slippery man"?
Coupled with being fooled by Li Chengzhi and firmly believing that it must be the fate of the Supreme Emperor, Li Shixian's spirit has more than doubled?
For Gao Zhao, who is the most expensive person in the world, naturally he will not be false...

After entering the mansion, both parties entered the table.During the banquet, the cups and cups went back and forth, so I had a good time.Especially Gao Zhao and Li Shixian, their faces were flushed from drinking before the dishes were finished.

Both of them were drunk, and what was rare was that neither of them showed any signs of losing their composure, even when they were joking, they were both calm and stable, without revealing anything.

Holding the wine glass, Li Shixian showed shame on his face: "I came in a hurry, so I am very polite, and please invite Brother Shouwen Haihan. When brother is free, Huaide must be very polite, so I made a special trip to visit!"

This is to ask Gao Zhao, when is it appropriate for him to come to ask his relatives.But it's definitely not tomorrow: because tomorrow I'm going to the Wei Mansion...

Gao Zhao's heart is clear, but he just pretends not to know: "I'm a brother, and I'm waiting for you. Huaide doesn't need to be polite, and a brother doesn't need to compare with others. Even if you come to the door with a goose feather, brother can do it. accept it frankly..."

This is clearly expressing to Li Shixian: Don't be afraid of breaking the face of my Gao family, even if I am a concubine, I, Gao Zhao, are willing to marry this family.

Li Shixian's heart was determined, and he was even more surprised: he didn't expect Gao Zhao to be so calm?
Whether Gao Zhao was really happy or pretended to be willing at this time, Li Shixian could still get a glimpse of it by asking himself.

Surprised in his heart, Li Shixian said again: "When I come to the door, I should bring one or two relatives and friends. Brother Shouwen, what do you think of Cui Xiu?"

Li Sixian wants to ask Cui Xiu to be a matchmaker?

Cui Xiu comes from the Cui family of Qinghe, and is the younger brother of Cui Guang and Cui Liang.Now serving as a doctor in the Ministry of War, one of Gao Zhao's right and left hands, the right one couldn't be more suitable.

The strange thing is that the Li family is in Guanzhong, and the Cui family is in Shandong. The two families have never had any friendship. How did Li Shixian invite Cui Xiu?
It is by no means the kindness that Li Chengzhi sought through Cui Guang and Liu Fang: Compared with the Gao family, the Wei family and the two are related by marriage, and the relationship is closer.Those two naturally wouldn't engage in such a double-faced trick...

Gao Zhao was in a trance for a while, he didn't think of the Zhang family in Jingzhou who was married to the Li family: Zhang Jingzhi and Cui Xiu are cousins!

If he knew, Gao Zhao would be even more surprised: Li Huaide is very capable!

He, Gao Zhao, and the Zhang family of Jingzhou had a big feud...

After guessing, Gao Zhao responded with a smile: "If it is Cui Xiu, it would be great!"

One was afraid of unexpected twists and turns, and the other was afraid of sudden changes. In a few words, the two not only set a time to ask relatives, but even discussed who to invite as a matchmaker. How about it?
Li Chengzhi's eyes showed surprise, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he felt pain in his ribs.

Guo Yuzhi warned him in a low voice: "Sit down honestly, don't talk too much!"

Li Chengzhi shook his head, mocking himself secretly: What's the use of talking too much?

Gao Zhaosheng seemed afraid that he would run away...

A banquet, the host and guest enjoy themselves.

By the time the banquet ended, the two of them were seven or eight percent drunk.

Li Sixian is okay, he is less than [-] years old, and he has been pampered for many years, and he is in the prime of life.Still somewhat sober.

But Gao Zhao is over half a hundred years old and has been working hard all day, so he is too strong to drink.At this moment, it seemed that he was unable to stand still.

The two bid farewell to each other, with a naive attitude.

……

Shiqian Hall is as warm as spring.

The emperor was sitting in a rocking chair specially made by Li Chengzhi, swaying around, feeling very comfortable.

On the side of the stove, the queen was kneeling on a futon, her eyes were full of tears, she was so pitiful.

Gao Ying had just prepared the ceremonial car and was about to leave the palace when he was summoned to the Shigan Hall by an oral order from the emperor.

The queen was full of joy, thinking that the emperor was merciful, and finally remembered her.He came running happily, but when it came, it was nothing but joy?

The emperor first talked about him from left to right. After talking for nearly an hour, he didn't say a single point.The queen only thought that the emperor was bored with government affairs, and wanted to have a family affair with her on a whim.

But while talking, Yuan Ke actually fell asleep?
At this point, Gao Ying didn't know that the emperor did it on purpose, he just didn't want her to see Li Chengzhi's parents, and didn't want her to interfere in Li Chengzhi's and Gao Wenjun's marriage.

It's fine if you treat me coldly, but now even the third sister is implicated?
Yuan Ke, how ruthless you are...

The more Gao Ying thought about it, the more desperate he became, and the more he thought about it, the more sad he became. Tears kept falling like a broken bead curtain.After a while, the clothes were dripping wet.

The emperor turned a deaf ear, pretending not to see, still rocking the reclining chair.

Seeing this, Gao Ying's heart was ashamed, and she burst into grief, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, how unfair is it that you treat your concubine...?"

The emperor scratched his head a little.

It is true that during this period of time, he has been too indifferent to the queen, and he feels a little guilty.

But what are you asking for, other than to be happy with me?
You know, as soon as I see you, I can't help but think of the scene when you fell ill.If I can hold back and not spit it out, I have to use all my strength...

The emperor sighed sadly, and coaxed: "Don't cry anymore, I promised you to leave the palace?"

What is the use?

It was almost dark, the gates of the city had already been locked, and Li Shixian and Guo Yuzhi had already returned home...

"Isn't there still Li Chengzhi? He has a palace ban badge, so it's not easy to enter the city? If you really want to be angry, call him to beat him..."

The emperor was half serious, half joking, "It's all because of his insatiable desire and greed. If he refuses to obey, then Li Shixian and Guo Yuzhi can hold his head and force him to marry the Wei family." Can't you be a girl?"

The queen was stunned: Is this really the truth?
The emperor just pushed the boat along with the current and exerted a lot of strength.But if Li Chengzhi is a pool of stagnant water, who can push it?

Gao Ying gritted his teeth fiercely, stood up and wiped away his tears: "But that little thief has always been rebellious, and since His Majesty has backed him, he just ignored the decree of an orphan, so how could he enter the city under the decree?"

Are you really going to beat Li Chengzhi to vent your anger?
This is too coaxing!

Forget it... At least the queen won't be crying here, crying makes me upset.

Seeing the misfortune coming to the east, the emperor couldn't help feeling relieved: "It's okay, I asked Liu Teng to pass the message, saying that I want to see him... It just so happened that Yinger also comforted me when she met her uncle..."

After returning to Zhaoyang Palace, when she was about to drive out of the palace, the queen finally realized: the emperor thought she was annoying, so he coaxed her out...

The tears that had just been stopped for a short time, gushed out again like spring water.

Gao Wenjun picked up the silk scarf and helped her wipe away tears: "My uncle and I have accepted it calmly, why do you bother?"

It's okay not to persuade, this persuasion seems to make Gao Ying feel the same, and the tears flowed faster.

"San... Sanniang, why do you want to accept your fate? Could it be that I, Gao, just... just let others bully me..."

Gao Wenjun could only sigh secretly: Who made that the emperor?
"No, I want to see my uncle..."

Gao Ying stood up fiercely, "Gu must ask clearly, what mistake did I, Mrs. Gao, make His Majesty so cold? I also want to ask Li Chengzhi, why Qin Muchu, half-hearted, can't just marry you?"

Gao Wenjun was stunned: Do you think I'm a princess?

Don't look at the eldest brother who only married Yuanying, and now I regret it...

……

It is said that Liu Teng is to pass the decree, but how can the emperor be so contemptuous as the minister in the hall and the minister of Changqiu Temple?

The one who passed the message was naturally the little yellow gate in the palace...

Assuming that the emperor had summoned him, Li Chengzhi informed Guo Yuzhi and followed the little eunuch into the inner city.

But after entering Guangmo Sect, the little eunuch led him straight to Yijing, not the palace?

Li Chengzhi asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty is in the Sikong mansion?"

"No!" The little eunuch replied, looking left and right, saw the four servants of the Li family far behind, and then approached Li Chengzhi and said, "There is a reason for what happened tonight, even if you are to be blamed, Li Shilang will also suffer?"

blame?

Li Chengzhi's heart moved, and he suddenly realized: the one in Gaozhao's mansion is not the emperor, but the queen?

In Gao Mansion, when Gao Zhao said that the queen was imprisoned by the emperor, he guessed a bit.The emperor deliberately held Gao Ying back because he was afraid that the queen would make trouble unreasonably and use power to overwhelm others.

At that time, he was still grateful to Yuan Ke for coming.

But now...hehehe!

You can't appease your wife, so you let her go to me for anger?
When thinking of Gao Ying, Li Chengzhi has two big heads in one head: this is the master who gives even the emperor a headache...

"Thank you for reminding me, and thank Si Qing for me!"

Li Chengzhi thanked him, and when he touched his sleeve, a copper collar was exposed.

It's just a small yellow door, and it's still a long way from getting things done.But Li Chengzhi has always acted like this, never underestimate anyone, and never stingy.

For him, things that can be solved with money are never considered things...

He had already gotten used to it, and the little eunuch didn't refuse, took the copper collar and stuffed it into the sleeve calmly.

After entering Yijing, Huangmen left on his own, and Li Chengzhi took Li Liang, Li Rui and others straight to Gaofu.

It should have been summoned, so Gao Zhan waited in the gate of the mansion early.Seeing his drunken eyes and bleary-eyed appearance, and his tongue can't be straightened out, it's clear that the alcohol is not over yet.

"Eldest... Eldest sister seems to be... being very angry by His Majesty, her eyes are swollen... like peaches... Mother... Mother asked me to tell you: Be patient..."

Li Chengzhi's eyelids twitched slightly: "Where's Sikong?"

"I drank too much today, and sometimes vomited while sleeping, how can I get up?"

"Where's the princess?"

"I was also very drunk, and I couldn't get up... Eldest sister didn't want to be disturbed, so she didn't let my parents sit with me, and went to the west courtyard alone..."

Li Chengzhi felt pain in his heart: there is no elder around him, and according to Gaoying's domineering and unreasonable temperament, nine out of ten he will anger himself, and maybe he will be rude...

"Is San Niang always here?"

"Naturally, I will serve by Eldest Sister's side!"

Ok!

Li Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Send me there!"

Although Gao Zhan has not woken up from the wine, but his consciousness is still clear, how could he send him to the door to find him uncomfortable?

He just pointed to a servant and took Li Chengzhi to the west courtyard.

It is not a trivial matter for the queen to go out of the palace. Even though the palace is less than two miles away from Gao's mansion, Gao Ying has put on a guard of honor.There are more than 20 Gong'e, Cainu, imperial guards, and ceremony officials accompanying the Gaofu.

Fortunately, the Gao Mansion had already made preparations. The west courtyard dedicated to the empress' family visit was not only large, but also well-equipped. There were more than a dozen side rooms for the palace people to rest for a while.There is even a warm room built at the ear door for guards to avoid the cold.

The earth dragon was extremely hot, before entering the house, and just entering the courtyard, Li Chengzhi felt a scorching heat wave rushing towards his face.

The guards had already obtained the order, and they only inspected Li Chengzhi's badge symbolically before letting him in.

Li Chengzhi entered the middle room, and saw seven or eight picking girls and palace maids standing in the hall like sculptures, all of them silent like cicadas.

I don't know if it's the heat or the fright, but everyone's forehead is sweating profusely.

It was as if all the bones in Gao Ying's body had been taken away, and he slumped on the couch like a puddle of mud.

Gao Wenjun winked at the leading ceremony officer, who nodded slightly, and led the rest of the palace staff out.

It stands to reason that if the empress summons foreign ministers, even if it is Gao Zhao, the ritual officer must be by her side to remember his words and deeds.

But Gao Ying is used to being domineering, and this ban has long been useless.Moreover, Gao Wenjun was originally the head of the ceremonial officials in the queen's palace. With her, it was equivalent to the presence of the ceremonial officials who recorded the queen's words, deeds and daily life.

Li Chengzhi took another two steps forward, took a closer look, and saw that the queen's eyes were indeed swollen, but it was far from "swollen like peaches" as Gao Zhan said.

He cupped his hands and said: "I have seen Your Highness!"

Hearing the sound, the queen woke up like a dream, and sat up straight.

The ground dragon was too hot, so she had long since removed her fur coat, and only wore a tube top on her upper body, covered with a layer of gauze.Because it started so fast, I saw white flowers jumping on my chest several times.

Even though we met more than once, Li Chengzhi was still so excited that he lowered his head hurriedly...

The queen was staring at him, and just happened to catch this expression in her eyes.Instinctively looked down, only to realize that he had accidentally disappeared.

A strange feeling suddenly appeared in Gao Ying's heart, as if a stone had been thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples.The thought of wanting to beat Li Chengzhi violently when he saw him before disappeared completely in an instant.

I was extremely shy in my heart, but felt unusually comfortable.The queen gritted her teeth and scolded: "Men don't have a good thing!"

Gao Wenjun turned his back to the queen, and Li Chengzhi was lowering his head, unaware that the queen blushed suddenly.Just when she was still angry and wanted to attack Li Chengzhi, Gao Wenjun winked anxiously.

Li Chengzhi sighed inwardly: Forget it, I'll just treat you as scolding the emperor.

"What Your Highness taught is!"

Well, to be so obedient today, is this still Li Chengzhi?

For some reason, looking at the pretty face not far away, Gao Ying only felt that the hall was a little hotter, a little hot and unbearably hot, and her face was extremely hot.

Enduring the strangeness in her heart, Gao Ying tried her best to put on a ferocious look: "You know it, so why are you still messing around? Now that your wish has been fulfilled, your father and uncle have even agreed on the date of acceptance, so it is Even Gu can't put his beak on it, are you happy?"

What is there to be happy about?
"It is true that I am greedy and untrustworthy, which led to today's fruit. I am also very guilty..."

After a short pause, Li Chengzhi raised his head and smiled apologetically at Gao Wenjun, "Yesterday, I entered the palace to face the saint, and I would like to ask His Majesty to grant me the old story of Jia Chong, but unfortunately, His Majesty did not allow..."

"You really went to ask for an order? You...why do you..."

Gao Wenjun's eyes turned red, and tears rolled down his face. After only half a sentence, he was choked up and speechless.

Even Gao Ying was stunned.

Gao Wenjun told her that it was just to stabilize Li Chengzhi's excuse at the time, but he didn't expect that Li Chengzhi not only took it seriously, but also went to Yuan Ke to ask for an order?

As long as Yuan Ke didn't lose his mind, he would never agree.

And just relying on Li Chengzhi's courage to try to hate the emperor, it can be seen that he has a deep affection for Sanniang.

What's more, Li Chengzhi back then dared not even take his life for Sanniang...

And what about Yuan Ke?

Seeing himself now makes him more disgusted than seeing shit...

Tears dripped down one by one, onto the gauze and onto the back of the hand.Gao Ying gritted her teeth hard, admonishing herself over and over again: Sanniang was crying because she was moved and happy.And why are you crying, Gao Ying?
And why... can't I meet such a man?

Tears covered his eyes, the figure not far away was gradually blurred, but the shadow imprinted in his heart became clearer and clearer, as if it had already been carved into his bones...

As if there was a ghost urging her behind her, the Queen's heart surged with overwhelming anger, and even gave birth to an impulse that even the gods could not stop: Yuan Ke, you are not benevolent, so don't blame me for being unrighteous...

As if going all out, Gao Ying gritted her teeth.For some reason, as her heart swayed, she suddenly felt as if a thousand catty shackles had been removed, and her whole body felt indescribably relaxed...

Sure enough, Gao Sanniang was right, so she had evil thoughts a long time ago?

The queen wiped her tears vigorously, and stared at Li Chengzhi closely.He looked heartbroken, but there was a smile in his eyes.thicker and thicker, thicker and thicker...

"San Niang, get some wine... get that fragrant wine, get a few more jars!"

The queen shouted loudly, and pointed at Li Chengzhi again, "Take it as what you said is true, and Gu will forgive you for the time being... But if you don't drink with Gu to your heart's content today, then don't blame Gu for not trusting his words." ..."

drink again?

As soon as he listened to the wine, Li Chengzhi felt sour water in his stomach.

The four of them drank pretty well: Gao Zhao and Li Shixian had already passed out, and even Gao Zhan was already staggering.Li Chengzhi is a little more sober because of his good physique, but his recovery is limited.

Seeing the queen's situation, it is clear that she wants to drink away her sorrows, and nine out of ten she will not return drunk.Where can I go all by myself?
He rolled his eyes to think of an idea, but Gao Wenjun responded: "Sister, wait a moment, I'll go get it!"

When passing by, he whispered a few words in Li Chengzhi's ear: "She suffered a lot of grievances today, and she wanted to take her anger out on you... It's better to drink with her than to be made things difficult by her..."

Feeling the tangy fragrance, only feeling the unbearable itching in the ears, and seeing the jade-like skin from the corner of the eye, an evil fire suddenly burst out in my heart.

Biting the tip of his tongue, suppressing his impulse, Li Chengzhi asked in a low voice: "What if she takes the opportunity to get drunk?"

"Eldest sister rarely loses her composure after drinking... Besides, if she drinks a few more drinks, she will be completely drunk, so she won't have the energy to go crazy..."

What else could it be?

Li Chengzhi nodded slightly.

As the fragrance faded and the beautiful shadow faded away, Li Chengzhi felt lost.

The queen gave a sudden coquettish smile: "Li Chengzhi, I'm afraid it's itching to wait?"

Let me go, you are the queen of the world, can you make such a joke?

Li Chengzhi turned his head instinctively, and saw that although the queen's cheeks were still full of tears, she was full of laughter and the corners of her eyes were pretty, like a peony blooming in the wind, extremely charming.

Especially those eyes, like a pool of autumn water, the waves turn slightly, reserved and deep, as if they can speak.

Where did you see this look?

Being imprisoned in the palace is extremely boring, and occasionally she is cowardly and has evil thoughts, and when she teases Gao Wenjun, she seems to be coquettish and shy.

How can this happen?

I was still crying just now, the tears on my face were still wet, why did I feel emotional in the blink of an eye?

Could it be that seeing Gao Wenjun and himself forget about love for a while, rubbing their ears together, and the empress felt affection, reminding him of the time when he was intimate with the emperor?
Seeing Li Chengzhi looking straight at her, the empress felt even more strange: there was the fear of what might happen, the pleasure of revenge on Yuan Ke, the yearning to break the taboo, and the fiery desire, and the desire to be like a bean gangster. At the beginning, I fantasize about the splendor and shyness of love...

All kinds of strange and complex emotions are intertwined, which makes Gao Ying feel an indescribable pleasure.In my mind, I couldn't help thinking of the scene that Li Chengzhi had imagined emotionally when he applied the medicine to her.

With a sudden jolt, she felt trembling, and the queen's body was covered with goose bumps.

"Li... Li Chengzhi..."

Hearing this groaning moan, Li Chengzhi's tailbone trembled, as if electrified, and the bones all over his body were numb.

Just when the dark clouds suddenly dispersed and the clouds broke through the sky, a ray of moonlight suddenly passed through the half-opened window lattice, spilled into the hall, and shone on Gao Ying.

I saw the queen's jade body lying horizontally, like a jade carving, shining brightly.Eight words suddenly popped up in Li Chengzhi's mind: beautiful day, beautiful woman like jade!
