Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 30
It has been sunny for several days, and the previous snow has melted, and only the shades of the flowery corners and other dark places are still accumulating dots of snow.
Next to the flowerbed in front of the hall, the **** dog was squeezing away and basking in the sun leisurely, the rubble rang softly, and a gorgeous tortoiseshell cat leaped lightly and swayed past the **** dog with graceful steps. It was a little bit. Not afraid.
The **** dog felt that his majesty had been challenged by this little thing, and he hurriedly raised his ears, barked his white fangs, and let out a vague growl in his throat, and his faint green eyes stared at the leisurely approaching cat like a threat.
Amber, the little ancestor, has been familiar with Dongchang for a long time. When he is in a good mood, he will honorably let the fans pick up two hairs and change a few small yellow croakers to eat. It is not even afraid of the notorious Fanzi, but also afraid of a dog? Then he ignored him and continued to move forward with light and small steps.
Running three feet away, it seemed to think of something again, turned back, and stood still in front of the **** dog.
The black dog continued to bark his teeth and grinned, Amber looked at each other indifferently, and then suddenly lifted his claws with lightning speed, and scratched the **** dog’s face for more than ten times, so fast that the cat’s claws turned into shadows. He scratched the black dog so that he could not resist.
After assaulting the snake in the east factory, Amber was satisfied, and continued to patrol the’territory’ with small broken steps, hiding his merit and fame, leaving the **** dog squatting on the spot with a blank face, as if his soul was devastated and could not accept reality. It took a long time. ‘Wow’ to show grievances.
At this moment, the door in front of the hall opened, and Xiao Changning walked in, wearing a pearl-white winter coat with fur collar. His elegant posture echoed the remnant snow and Daiwa behind him. The eunuchs of the East Factory had to see it, and they had to be heart-warming. Say “beautiful”.
Humber had just won a battle, and with a meow forward, he touched Xiao Changning’s calf affectionately, seeming to be asking for a reward. Xiao Changning was full of thoughts and had no time to respond to this little ancestor. He only picked it up and handed it to Xia Lu’s hands. Then he saluted Lin Huan who came to greet him and said, “Where is the emperor?”
“The emperor and the factory superintendent are both in the Chamber.” Lin Huan took off his saber because he was a saint, but his mouth was still stuffed with sugar and other food, and it didn’t stop for a moment.
Xiao Changning nodded, let Xia Lu stay outside and wait, slowly stepping up the steps and entering the chamber.
As soon as the door opened, several pairs of eyes fell on Xiao Changning’s body. Today, it is rare that the four chief officers are all here. Shen Xuan is sitting in the second seat, and her eyes are as deep as ink when she looks at Xiao Changning, which makes her face hot, and remembers the ambiguity that was so close when she was on the same bed last night…
Xiao Changning’s eyes touched Shen Xuan, and he calmly accepted the courtesy of the chief officers. Then he looked at the little emperor with red nose and eyes, and said helplessly: “Your Majesty, what’s the matter?”
“Sister…” As if seeing a savior, Xiao Huan hurriedly got up and took Xiao Changning’s hand, led her to sit down beside him, and whispered in tears, “I’m done!”
“What silly thing to say!”
Xiao Changning took out his veil to wipe his tears, and cast a calm look at Shen Xuan. Shen Xuan understood, the court chiefs raised their jaws and signaled them to retreat first.
When there were only three of them in the house, Xiao Changning said: “Now the emperor can speak.”
Xiao Huan still had concerns, and looked at Shen Xuan tremblingly, not willing to speak.
Xiao Changning didn’t conceal him, so calmly said: “Admiral Shen is his own, your Majesty does not have to worry about it.”
Xiao Huan blinked his wet eyes with a dazed expression, as if he couldn’t react. It took a long time before he was astonished and said: “Sister! Are you really together?!”
Shen Xuan’s eyes were deep, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she said with a smile but not a smile: “Didn’t the emperor always expect the minister and the eldest princess Qin Se to reconcile?”
“Okay, let’s talk about business.” Xiao Changning was a little embarrassed, cleared his throat, and turned away from the subject, “What happened to the emperor? But the queen mother embarrassed you again?”
When the incident was mentioned, Xiao Huan’s eye circles turned redder, and he kept his head in a daze.
Shen Xuan, who was on the side, watched coldly, and suddenly said, “Presumably, the empress dowager forced the emperor to marry.”
Xiao Huan suddenly raised his head, panicked, and asked: “How does Admiral Shen know?!”
“The minister is ordered to serve the emperor. The movement in Beijing can’t hide from Dongchang’s eyes.” Shen Xuan is wearing a silver white python gown today, wearing a black gauze round hat, and black silk ribbons with golden beads hang down on her temples, making it even more lining. It’s so sharp. He sneered, his eyes were calm and strategized, and he whispered, “Guess, the future queen candidate should be the niece of Empress Dowager Liang.”
Xiao Changning was clear and frowned, “Liang Yourong, the daughter of the Nanyang prefect.” The empress dowager Liang is by nature. With her temperament, the future queen can only be named Liang, so that it will be more convenient for her to control the court and the harem.
Even more frightening is that the Liang family has advocated force for generations. Although Liang Yourong is sixteen years old, he has outstanding martial arts, and his courage is not inferior to that of the Queen Mother Liang. In this way, it is no wonder that Xiao Huan was so afraid of this marriage.
Xiao Huan wiped his tears and said, “The Liang family girl is sixteen, but I’m not fifteen. Why do we want to marry her as a queen?”
Shen Xuan relentlessly said: “The first emperor was married at the age of thirteen, and he married the Liang family who was one year older than him. Your majesty has been delayed for a year because of the new funeral of the first emperor. It is not too early to get married now. “
Xiao Changning was really worried about his younger brother. He was fostered under the knees of the Empress Dowager Liang at the age of eight. He was slammed and suppressed. He developed such a cowardly temperament. He is still a child. How can he marry?
Thinking of this, she asked Shen Xuan: “From Admiral Shen’s view, is there any room for the emperor to decline this marriage?”
Shen Xuan tapped the armrest of the Nanmu chair rhythmically with her fingers, her eyes sharp: “Yes. Kill the Liang family girl.”
Xiao Huan was taken aback by his gloomy tone, his tears were still wet, and he said in a panic: “Kill, kill…”
Xiao Changning carefully observed Shen Xuan’s face, and saw a trace of joking in his eyes, and immediately sighed helplessly: “The emperor is timid, and Admiral Shen should not frighten him. Killing Liang Yourong is the last resort. Kill one of her. The queen mother can always find another confidant to replace her as the queen.”
It’s a pity that this Dongchang is an eunuch, and she doesn’t have a female family who knows her roots, otherwise she can pick a reliable and clever woman into the palace to accompany the emperor…
As if a light flashed through his mind, Xiao Changning’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Xiao Huan hopefully and said: “Or, the emperor rushes to marry Yueyao from Beizhen Fusi before the queen dowager’s marriage is the queen?”
Xiao Huan looked dull.
Shen Xuan smiled and said, “How innocent the emperor is, does your Highness want to cheat him like this?”
Xiao Changning was unwilling to say: “Although Yueyao is a bit older and has a blunt and straightforward character, after all he is holding the door, and holding the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi in his hand, how can he not protect the emperor?”
“Forget it, Sister.” Xiao Xiaohuan tugged at the sleeves, embarrassed, “I always treat Yue Fu as a half mother. If I want to accept her as a queen, it’s really…”
Xiao Changning couldn’t help but finger, flicked his forehead lightly, worrying: “If you don’t marry a girl who knows everything, does your Majesty really want to marry the niece of Empress Dowager Liang?”
“It’s not a bad idea.” Shen Xuan said, “Liang Yourong is the queen mother’s only niece, and the relationship is extraordinary. If the emperor marries her, she can at least save her life. After all, the queen mother will not let her niece become a widow.”
At this time, a small sedan decorated with gold tassels slowly stopped in front of the majestic and quiet Ci Ning Palace. In a short while, the curtain in front of the sedan was lifted by a plain white hand, and then a girl in a cloak of bright red thorns and white plum got out of the car.
The queen mother Yu Kou, the maidservant of Liang, was already waiting in front of the door, and she gave a big gift to the girl, and said warmly: “Slavery Yu Kou, I have seen Ms. Liang.”
“You don’t need to be polite, take me to see the empress quickly.” The girl’s voice was crisp and clean, and she walked briskly. She had already stepped through the atrium while she was speaking. The bright red cloak was lifted by the cold wind, and a long sword hanging from her waist was faintly revealed. , Sharp and unparalleled.
Entering the Ci Ning Palace, she bowed her head towards the woman who was high above the chessboard, and said calmly: “The courtier Liang Yourong, see the empress dowager.”
“You Rong, you are here.” The queen mother pressed a black stone to herself, smiled and waved to the prostrate girl, “Come here and finish the game of chess with Ai’s family.”
The girl slowly got up, raised her head, revealing a clear and upright face, and said crisply: “Yes.”
Xiao Changning untied her outer robe, and sat cross-legged on the couch wearing only a soft white shirt, her long hair like ink dangled from her cheeks, and her facial features were more delicate and soft in the shadow of the lamp.
“I heard that the Queen Mother will bring Liang Yourong into the palace to raise him. My palace plans to enter the palace tomorrow.” Xiao Changning looked at Shen Xuan who opened the door and said seriously. The wind; secondly, my palace wants to see what kind of **** Liang Yourong is.”
Shen Xuan untied her saber and hung it beside the couch, looking down at Xiao Changning condescendingly, and said with a smile: “His Royal Highness is very concerned about the emperor’s affairs.”
“I’m also very concerned about your affairs.” Xiao Changning retorted with a smile, “Isn’t this because you are worried about something wrong with your sacrifice, so you want to test the empress dowager’s tone.”
At this time, Shen Xuan’s expression turned slightly awkward, and she stood on the side of the couch and opened her arms, raising her eyebrows to look at her.
Xiao Changning learned well this time, and no longer went up to hug him indiscriminately, but honestly undressed him.
The candle fire crackled, and Shen Xuan stared at Xiao Changning’s slightly trembling eyelashes, her eyes were dark, she suddenly pulled her into her arms, and said dumbly: “Why don’t you hug her tonight?”
Xiao Changning was startled and blushed. He threw the untied belt aside, and said with shame: “Admiral Shen, don’t laugh at me.”
Shen Xu was in a happy mood. She knelt on the couch with one knee, her upper body closely fitting with Xiao Changning, her voice was low, as if she was trembling from her chest, and said: “It’s not a joke. When will Your Highness be a real husband and wife with me?” “
Xiao Changning laughed and said: “How to be a husband and wife with an eunuch? Unless Admiral Shen is really like this palace thinks, he is not a true eunuch… But if so, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, for fear of a catastrophe.”
“His Royal Highness should know that I am an arrogant person. I don’t care about others, but only ask His Highness’s wishes.” Shen Xuan still stared at her, her eyes bottomless. Xiao Changning could even feel his vigorous and ready-to-go muscles, with explosive power that was completely different from that of a feminine eunuch.
Shen Xuan’s desire tonight came so deep that Xiao Changning was caught off guard.
After struggling for a long time, she took a deep breath, pushed Shenxuan away with determination, and fled back into the bedding as if she fled, and muttered, “Wait until the day you figure it out, and then ask my wishes.”
Sink
Looking at the empty embrace, Xuan’s long eyebrows were slightly twisted: he wanted to touch her, wanted to have **** with her desperately, wanted to seize her and possess her… Such an obvious desire, he already understood so much that he could no longer understand it, and still have to How to figure it out?
Hey, what is Xiao Changning expecting?
No…or rather, what are you afraid of?
The long night is lonely, and the sound is even more leaky.
Xiao Changning drank too much hot porridge at night, awakened anxiously in the middle of the night, faintly lifted the bedding and got up, only to find that the place beside him was empty.
She stayed for a while, and Fang rubbed her eyes, and subconsciously touched the position of her side. There was still warmth. Shen Xuan was obviously just getting up.
Strange, it’s not dawn now, where did he go?
Suspicious, Xiao Changning grabbed his robe and put it on, pulling the embroidered shoes on the bed, leaving the bedroom like a wandering soul, and walked to the cubicle next to the toilet.
The compartment is separated by a screen, and there is a clean toilet in it, which is specially designed to wait for the owner to use it at night. At this time, the sky was twilight and the light was dim. Xiao Changning yawned sleepily to solve his internal anxiety. He did not see a familiar and tall figure standing beside the toilet behind the screen, accompanied by the faint sound of running water…
