Drunken Exquisiteness - Chapter 119

In the Hanguang Palace, several court ladies kneel and hold the nine-diy phoenix crown, hairpin garments, gold silk embroidered real red hazel, zizi, and medium singles. A few days later, the ritual of the grand ceremony.

The complicated clothes rustle lightly, sometimes mixed with the jade pendant ring and Dingdong, quietly echoing in the depths of the sleeping hall. Baguio and the two maids help Qing Chen to adjust the cloud pattern that flutters after the crown dress: “Manny, it’s a good fit.”

Qing Chen gently raised his hand to signal the female officer next to him to stop, then turned and asked, “How long?”

The female officer replied: “Hui Niangniang, the whole ceremony is three hours.”

Qing Chen’s eyebrows tightened slightly: “So long?”

The female officer respectfully said: “This is the canon after your Majesty’s book, so the time is longer.”

Qing Chen nodded slightly: “I see, you can go down.”

When the maid of the palm of the hand retired, a maid came in and said: “Manny, your majesty will pass the meal tonight in Hanguang Palace.”

Qing Chen responded, and Baguio couldn’t help being surprised, and asked: “Manny, the few new palace costumes that Shang Yi Jian sent yesterday were very careful. The one with a red background is very good. It looks energetic, but I remember whether there is a magnolia embroidered in a lavish color, it is both noble and elegant, I will let them all take a look?”

Qing Chen only wore a soft apricot silk shirt at this time: “No need, I’m a little cold, give me that piece of silk.”

Baguio reflexively took a drape and put it on her shoulders, with the color of the cloud tactfully, her shoulders were sharp and thin, and Qing Chen leaned on the phoenix couch at will, with no intention of getting up to dress and change clothes.

Baguio couldn’t help but urge her: “Your Majesty will be here soon, won’t you change your clothes?”

Qing Chen raised his eyes and replied: “He came to see the clothes?”

Baguio stunned: “Of course not.”

Qing Chen closed his eyes again.

Baguio couldn’t help but be anxious for her, and persuaded: “Manny, it’s been a few days. Your Majesty is now clearly reconciling first, so you can accept it.”

Qing Chen closed her eyes and said nothing. On that day, she went out and returned to the palace. Before entering Shangjiufang, she met Wei Changzheng and others and brought her from Xuanjia Army. The navy guard dispatched the Tiger Ben warship, and the Chuyan River was in a state of strict combat readiness. After returning to the palace, he saw Ye Tianling’s face pale, and he didn’t listen to any explanation, and immediately ordered Mingzhi and other guards who had left the palace with Qingchen to hold twenty army sticks. Qing Chen tried his best to stop him, he coldly ignored, there was the sound of a rod hitting in front of the hall, and blood flew across. Qing Chen hated it very much, and went back to the palace in a rage, and hadn’t spoken to Ye Tianling for a few days. Ye Tianling also didn’t seem to come to Hanguang Palace every day to go to bed, and coupled with the various affairs, the two really seemed to be born like this, only to see Baguio and the others secretly anxious.

Seeing Qing Chen’s stubbornness, Baguio whispered again to persuade: “The Inner Court has already been on the agenda for choosing a concubine. After all, your Majesty is the emperor, how can you do this?”

Qing Chen had a bit of wind and chill on the river that night, and has been uncomfortable for the past few days. I have been tossing about those crown clothes for a long time. At this time, I felt weak in my body. Hearing these words inevitably made me even more annoyed. I closed my eyes and said, “I will sleep for a while. You will call me again when you are down.”

Seeing that she was very sleepy and knew her temper, Baguio couldn’t say more, so she closed the window and quietly withdrew.

After Baguio left, Qing Chen couldn’t fall asleep over and over, and simply got up and sat there with a silk cloth. The bronze mirror in front of her reflected her face, and she looked down aimlessly at the clouds and silk spread out on her feet, but the lines in her eyes were a little fuzzy from time to time. She raised her hand to prop her forehead, and suddenly saw a figure in the bronze mirror. She did not know when she appeared there, standing not far behind her.

The green shirt was faint, she couldn’t see the look on his face, but she could feel his deep eyes, quietly looking at her in the mirror.

The palace lantern in the bedroom slightly jumped, and Qing Chen sighed softly and stood up. Unexpectedly, it was suddenly dark, she hurriedly reached out to support the mirror case, but she was pressing on the opened makeup. The jade sound rang, and the phoenix hairpin green ring flew to the ground, and Ye Tianling stepped forward to support her. Baguio and the others were alarmed by the sound of things falling, and rushed in. They were all embarrassed, and the emperor grabbed the queen’s hand and looked angry.

The palace attendant who came afterwards knelt on the ground, not knowing what happened, and no one dared to speak. Only Baguio shouted tremblingly: “Your Majesty, Empress…”

Qing Chen fainted for a while, seeing Baguio and the others looking at them with great trepidation, and said slowly: “It’s okay here, let’s go down.”

Baguio’s heart was overwhelming. It seemed that the two of them were really quarreling, but they were afraid that rashly persuading each other would be counterproductive, so he said boldly: “Your Majesty, the lady is uncomfortable, you…”

Qing Chen’s eyes faintly swept over here, and Baguio didn’t dare to say any more, and couldn’t do anything, so she had to take everyone out of the temple temporarily.

Qing Chen sat down with Ye Tianling’s support, and Ye Tianling said displeased: “Why don’t you declare an imperial doctor if you feel uncomfortable? Who else are you angry with?”

Qing Chen’s eyes darkened, and he had no intention of arguing with him, only saying: “It’s just that I’ve been tired after trying the crown dress for a long time. These Fengguanxiamen don’t seem to suit me.”

Hearing what she said, Ye Tianling’s face darkened slightly, and the anger in her heart could not help being aroused in the past few days, and she was about to faintly break out.

The two were in a stalemate, and the hall was unusually quiet for a while.

Qing Chen leaned against the phoenix couch, tired and closed his eyes. She had been trying hard at first, but now she felt that her chest was stuffy and couldn’t help coughing frequently. Suddenly one hand covered his forehead, and then he heard Ye Tianling’s sullen voice: “Pass the Imperial Doctor!”

Qing Chen knew this symptom himself, and when he wanted to say that he didn’t need an imperial doctor, but didn’t want to argue with him, he let the imperial doctor rush to ask for a pulse to prescribe the medicine, and soon the maids served **** soup.

She had never liked the taste of **** soup, but under Ye Tianling’s gaze, she stood up and drank it, threw the jade lamp back into the plate, turned and lay inward. The small steps of the maids disappeared outside the temple one after another, and the empty surroundings made them look particularly deserted, but Qing Chen came up with a thin quilt: “Why, do such a bold thing behind my back, and lose my temper with me?” Ye Tian Ling’s words were low and unpleasant.

Qing Chen didn’t regret going out of the city that night to make him unhappy, and said: “If I did something wrong, you would punish me, why do you vent their anger with Mingzhi? Besides, I have already returned, and the 400,000 troops entered the city safely, where am I? make a mistake?”

Before he finished speaking, Ye Tian Ling Jian frowned, stretched out his hand to pull her up from the couch to face him, and said angrily: “If you can’t come back? My Ye Tianling has been fighting for more than ten years. , What can a mere four hundred thousand army do for me? It takes you to go out of the sky at night and take risks alone? Are you afraid that I will lose this time, or are you afraid that he will die by my sword?”

He was almost stern, his eyes were harsh and cold, and he was forced to fall into an ice cellar. Qing Chen blurted out: “I am really afraid, I am afraid that any of you will become the second eleven!”

Ye Tianling’s face froze suddenly, and the blue veins loomed on his forehead, but the sharpness in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

When he said this, Qing Chen also stayed for a while, then turned his head to look down, and his whole body was filled with sadness: “The five people who fought alongside you on the court back then are now only him and twelve. You. If you really believe in me, you shouldn’t bother me. Although I acted boldly, I thought it over. Now not only are you and him safe, and nearly a million soldiers don’t have to kill each other. Isn’t these promises worth the risk?”

Ye Tianling embraced her fiercely, her eyes low, “If it weren’t for believing in you, I had ordered an army to quell the rebellion that night. Although I believe you are sure to retreat, but if you really missed it, More than just a river of blood flowing in the sky? But what’s the use? Could there be another miracle, and let me meet Ning Wenqing or Feng Qingchen after thousands of years?”

He was so overbearing that he didn’t give people the slightest chance to breathe, and the words and sentences were like hot flames, burning people’s hearts with warmth and pain. Qing Chen had never lost his words to him, but at this time he couldn’t speak, only clutching his shirt tightly, touching his heartbeat ups and downs in the bottom of his hand, he was really angry.

Qing Chen was stunned, only to hear him say again: “This throne is just a game. How can I use your safety in exchange for it, and how can I allow others to covet you? If I can’t even protect my wife , What else to talk about!”

Qing Chen’s heart was already soft, but her face was reluctant, and her jaw raised slightly: “Since I am your wife, am I still afraid of this risk? If I can’t even protect myself, why should I be your wife? ”

Ye Tianling was startled, he couldn’t laugh or cry, angry and hated: “My wife has to listen to me. If you dare to make your own claim against me, I…”

He stopped here when he said, Qing Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, “How are you?”

Seeing her eyes full of blackness, full of tenderness and warmth, Ye Tianling looked at him so close in front of her eyes, she forced her anger to surround and entangle her, turning her every inch into helplessness. He finally let out a long sigh and hugged her into his arms: “How come God sent you such a woman!”

Qing Chen put his head against his shoulder, and said quietly, “Since my woman makes you so dissatisfied, they have prepared beautiful women in the world for you to choose from, and they must be considerate.”

Ye Tianling was startled slightly, pulled her body and asked, “What?”

Qing Chen raised his eyes lightly and looked at him: “The Nei Tingsi has drawn up the criteria for selecting concubines. Under the first queen, fourth concubine, and nine concubines in the sixth palace, there are nine Jieyu, nine beauties, and nine talents. , Baolin twenty-seven people, twenty-seven imperial women, twenty-seven picking women. Under the eighth rank, there are four female officials in the six bureaus and twenty-four masters, twenty-eight stewards, twenty-eight diaries, and palms. Twenty-eight, and the number of other gradeless female officials is uncertain.”

Ye Tianling frowned when she heard it: “When did it happen, why don’t I know?”

Qing Chen said: “Yi Zhang was sent to Zhiyuan Hall two days ago, haven’t you seen it?”

Ye Tianling laughed: “I didn’t pay attention, the memorials about the affairs are not enough for me to read? How can I have time to read them.”

Seeing the faint tiredness in his eyes, Qing Chen must have not slept peacefully for several nights, and couldn’t bear to care about these things with him anymore, just quietly embrace him. Ye Tianling stroked her long hair that was draped on her shoulders. For a long time, she suddenly smiled: “Tomorrow, we decreed that the Inner Court Secretary will rectify the palace, lest they have nothing to do.”

Qing Chen smiled without saying a word, leaned in his arms, the warm man’s breath on his body faintly fell, like a peaceful peach in the stormy waves. She had already said what should be said, and there is no need to repeat it. He never made any promises to her, but he knew what she wanted, he would do some things, he would protect her, she knew. A tired feeling came over, she closed her eyes, nostalgic for the familiar embrace, thinking about nothing.

Ye Tianling unexpectedly fell asleep with such a snuggle in his arms, feeling helpless, and gently stretched out his hand to touch her face, but at this moment there was only love and pity in his heart.

I am angry that she hates her, but how can she not know why she is willing to take strange risks? She has never been his weakness, she is a confidant who lives in the same boat with him, a companion who lives in the same boat, stays with him all the way, lives with each other, is wonderful because of each other.

He just looked down at the person in his arms and stayed still. Once the indifference of the past few days was uncovered, it was discovered that she had long been in the eyes of her heart, and she would not be able to look at it for a lifetime. Nothing like the San Gong Six Hospitals and Jiao’e Fendai could smile as her.

With her in this world, he only sees her; if there is no her in this world, he has nothing.

After a while, Qing Chen was sleeping groggy, and Yan Xi begged to see him outside the hall. Ye Tianling didn’t speak, but motioned for him to come in.

Yan Xi arrived in front of the couch, afraid of disturbing Qing Chen, lowered his voice and said: “Your Majesty, King Zhan has asked to see Niang Niang Yin, it has been almost two hours.”

Ye Tianling frowned, and said in a deep voice: “Let him go back.”

After Ye Tianling ascended the throne, the Queen Mother was named Empress Dowager, and the Concubine Lotus was named Empress Dowager Hehui. Among the concubines of the emperor, except for Concubine Su Shu, who was promoted to the emperor’s concubine, they were all sent to live in Qianmen Temple according to regulations. Although Empress Yin is the empress of the palace, she has not received the honorary title. Now she moves to Qingquan Palace and her identity is quite embarrassing. After King Zhan returned to Beijing, he visited his mother several times without permission. Yan Xi looked at the expression on the emperor’s face and said that it was useless. Just about to retreat, Qing Chen woke up when he heard the voice: “Yan Xi, slow Now.”

Yan Xi bowed and stayed: “Niang Niang.”

Qing Chen looked down and thought for a moment, smiled at Ye Tianling, walked barefoot down to Feng’s couch, stood in front of the case and wrote a few words, then turned around and told Yan Xi: “Bring it to King Zhan.”

Yan Xi looked at Ye Tianling hesitantly. Ye Tianling lifted his jaw slightly, he took the paper and exited Hanguang Palace. When I entered the side hall of the Zhiyuan Hall, I saw King Zhan standing in front of the window with his hand holding his hand, and the afternoon sun fell on him through the window, making the five-clawed cloud dragon on the prince’s uniform alive, holding his hands firmly behind him. Elegant and calm face. He calmly looked at the plants, trees and flowers in the imperial garden, and the beautiful waters and streams, as if he had been standing like this since Yan Xi left, unmoved.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ye Tianzhan looked back, and Yan Xi stepped forward and said, “Master, your Majesty is now in Hanguang Palace, I’m afraid he won’t be back for a while.”

Before raising his head, he felt a sharp gaze fall in front of him, and the gentle and moist voice of King Zhan sounded faintly: “This king is waiting here.”

Yan Xi looked up, and saw that King Zhan had already looked out the window again, with only his back standing in front of him. He submitted the paper and said: “This is for the prince from the empress, please have a look.”

Ye Tianzhan turned around unexpectedly, took the paper and unfolded it, only four words were written on it: Treat like my mother.

The black ink in the clear ink turned into a shock in his eyes. Although he has never seen Empress Yin, he also knows that, except for her status, her expenses for food and clothing remain the same as that of the previous empress, without any change. Since Qing Chen is there, he doesn’t worry that his mother will be wronged, and he can’t take this matter too hastily. He pondered for a long time, a very light sigh escaped from his lips, he didn’t say anything, but finally turned around and walked out of the Zhiyuan Hall.

After Yan Xi left, Ye Tianling didn’t ask what Qing Chen had just written, nor got up. He sat on his knees for a while before standing up slowly, and only moved, he secretly gasped.

Seeing his expression, Qing Chen understood what was going on, and said hurriedly, “Hurry up and get energized.”

Ye Tianling stretched her shoulders, turned her head, and suddenly smiled slightly, her deep eyes full of playfulness.

Qing Chen blushed, lowered his head and glanced at him from under his eyelashes, finally couldn’t help but asked again: “Is it better?”

After Ye Tianling’s blood energy circulated throughout his body for a week, the tingling feeling gradually subsided, and he smiled and shouted and said: “Come here, palm the lamp!”

Immediately there were two rows of scarlet maids filed in, each holding a sapphire-wrapped gold lamp in his hand, walking lightly, lighting the lights in the hall one by one.

Ye Tianling turned back in front of Qing Chen and stretched out her hand to try her forehead: “Would you like to sleep for a while? Keep your spirits up these few days. After the book, the world will be watching you.”

Qing Chen broke out in a sweat when she slept. Although she was a little relaxed, she was still soft and weak. He leaned back on the phoenix couch and asked, “Why are you going to hold a big ceremony suddenly? The female officer was tortured to death.”

Ye Tianling stroked her slender eyebrows with her fingertips and smiled lightly: “I want to tell the world that you are my wife.”

Qing Chen smiled leisurely and asked, “Isn’t I your wife if there is no postscript?”

Ye Tianling said: “It’s different.”

Qing Chen said quietly: “Why is it different? Whether you are Ye Tianling, the prince, or the emperor, to me, it’s just my husband. Just such a person is the same.”

Ye Tianling lay beside her with one hand on the back of her head, looking out from the distance: “Qing’er, as long as this world is mine, it is yours; as long as I can give it to you, I will give it to you. My wife, I don’t want her to feel wronged or regretted.”

Qing Chen held his hand with her hand, her long hair dangled beside his face, and as she smiled with her head sideways, there was a slight scent of orchid. He stretched his hand through the black curtain, as if he had penetrated into a mysterious dream, her beauty was everywhere, nowhere to hide.

Qing Chen raised his hand and clasped his ten fingers, pressed it against his cheek, and smiled: “I know what you want to do with me. It doesn’t have to be clear to others. Brother Si, you asked them to cancel the ceremony after the book. Well, what I want, you have already given me, I don’t care about it. This time, the ceremony cost nearly one hundred thousand taels of silver before and after, and it’s just a glorious sight for the people of the world. Now the war in northern Xinjiang is in turmoil. Pepsi is waiting for prosperity. Stabilization of the Western Regions and Nanzhi Dajiang are all waiting for the treasury’s money. How many people are looking forward to us taking care of this and losing the other. Although one hundred thousand taels of silver is not a big sum, it is better to use the knife. Besides, I really have nothing. It’s better to be mentally coping with those etiquette than to let me relax for a day.”

Ye Tianling was silent for a moment: “If you insist on not wanting it, just follow you. I read their memo today. The rituals are indeed too cumbersome, and I want to ask your opinion. The heat outside is too hot and you feel uncomfortable. , I’m afraid you can’t bear it.”

Qing Chen said softly contentedly: “Thank you so much for the grace of the Holy Spirit.”

Ye Tianling looked down at her, raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly: “Forget it.” He raised his hand to hug Qing Chen. Seeing that he hadn’t spoken for a long time, Qing Chen seemed to have something to think of, so he couldn’t help asking: “Fourth brother, you What are you thinking about?”

Ye Tianling turned his head to look at her. At this moment, his eyes were shining, and his energy was dazzling. The previous fatigue has long disappeared: “Qing’er, do you know how much I want to do?” He stretched out his palm and shook it in front of him. Cheng Quan said, “This emperor’s career is not in the glorious moment of holding the royal power, but in the prosperous age, the prosperity of the country and the strong people. Give me ten years, I will not disappoint you, my subjects, and even my opponents. You must be proud of being against me.”

Qing Chen seemed to see the flying sand in the desert of the past, the moment he was watching the heroes before the army, he was cold towards all living beings, and he was ambitious. This man conquered her and conquered the world; she conquered this man, and joined hands with him to go to the world.

“Four brothers, one mountain is surrounded by mountains, the peaks are high and the roads are dangerous, it is a good view, I can’t help but want to go climbing!”

Ye Tianling embraced her and said with a long laugh: “Today, there is an emperor like me in the heavenly dynasty, and an afterthought like you. It will be passed down through the ages and admired forever. You and I have a great time!

Qing Chen smiled and hugged his neck, smiling like a flower, exhaling like a blue flower, Ye Tianling stared at her for an instant, and suddenly turned over and kissed her soft red lips. Qing Chen’s starry eyes closed lightly, and naughty stretched out his hand into his clothes, with soft fingertips, lingering along his back, sliding down all the way.

Ye Tianling’s breathing gradually became rapid, and she whispered: “Qing’er.” Qing Chen responded vaguely, warming nephrite, snow-skinned jade, and Lange-like fragrance lingering, tempting to palpitation. The temperature of her skin burned lovingly along the caress of his palm, but he suddenly buried his head on her neck and sighed in annoyance, propped up and sat on the couch with his back facing her.

Qing Chen was very strange, hooked his waist and leaned over, looking at him questioningly.

Ye Tianling blindfolded her eyes and let out a deep breath: “The body is still hot, so lie down.”

Qing Chen was taken aback, then smiled and squeezed into his arms, Ye Tianling hugged her tightly, her voice was muted: “Don’t make trouble, if you can’t sleep, just watch memorials with me for a while. Si Weiyun’s handwriting is today It’s sent here, you can also take a look, there are a few suggestions that are very good.”

Qing Chen heard him say this, so he stopped making trouble. Ye Tianling ordered people to go to the Zhiyuan Hall to fetch the memorial here, and pass the dinner.

After eating, he sat in front of the desk and concentrated on the unfinished government affairs, and Qing Chen leaned close to read Si Weiyun’s handbook.

The two talked a few words from time to time, unconsciously the midnight night, the palace lanterns were long, the room was quiet, occasionally raised their eyes accidentally, their eyes met, and a knowing smile.
