I'm the substitute and I'm with the real master

Because He Xulan was about to lead troops to the expedition, Cui Lingjing specially hosted a banquet, and Yin Qingxuan was also present at the banquet.When He Xulan saw Yin Qingxuan at the banquet, his eyes couldn't help changing slightly. After drinking for three rounds, he saw the two Lianjiazi servants, and instantly understood Yin Qingxuan's intentions.

Yin Qingxuan put down his wine glass and said respectfully: "The queen mother is going this time, the journey is hard, and the battlefield is full of dangers. Usually, the palace servants who serve the queen mother do not know martial arts. If they are brought to the battlefield, I am afraid it will only be a burden. Boldly let the two Lian family servants around you follow the Queen Mother. The two of them are safe, and the Queen Mother can order them anything. If they do not do well, the Queen Mother will punish them."

Cui Lingjing on the side agreed: "Yes, Father Ya, you bring these two with you. I saw the two of them sparring today, and their martial arts are really good."

He Xulan withdrew his gaze from Yin Qingxuan and looked at Cui Lingjing beside him, "Eunuch Huang and the others are used to serving me, and they know my preferences. If I change people rashly, I'm afraid I won't be able to get used to it, and it may delay the battle. .”

Hearing what He Xulan said, Cui Lingjing hesitated for a while, but at this moment, Yin Qingxuan suddenly stood up, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, humble ministers are useless, unable to fight the enemy in person, that's why the Queen Mother personally conquered the enemy." The only thing I can do now is to try my best to keep the Empress Dowager safe, otherwise I will not be able to let the Empress Dowager lead troops to fight against Lei Qiurong and other rebels!"

As soon as these words came out, He Xulan's eyes gradually turned cold, and he said softly: "It's a good death, Li Chao is really lucky to have you, Yin Qingxuan."

Yin Qingxuan replied calmly: "The Queen Mother is absurd."

Even Cui Lingjing could hear something was wrong, he felt that these two people were inexplicably confronting each other.As far as he knew, He Xulan and Yin Qingxuan were good friends before entering the palace, and both of them were among the most influential figures in Beijing, one He Lang and the other Yin Lang.

It was once rumored that the two of them had a drink together on a boat. On the banks of the lake in spring, with willow leaves fluttering, one played the piano and the other played the flute, which attracted crowds of people watching. Seeing that more and more people gathered around the lake, some even watched He Xulan and Yin Qingxuan fell into the lake.While the two men were saving lives, the two of them looked at each other and went west by boat.

Because Cui Lingjing liked He Xulan, he investigated everything about He Xulan before entering the palace. When he knew that Yin Qingxuan and He Xulan had such a good relationship, he was very wary of Yin Qingxuan.

But after a long time, he found that Yin Qingxuan didn't overdo He Xulan, and his heart slowly settled down.

Cui Lingjing had to admit that although he always scolded Yin Qingxuan and threw cups and memorials at him, Yin Qingxuan was indeed a very useful courtier left to him by his father.

The three generations of the Yin family were all officials in the court, and all of them were loyal, so this is why Yin Qingxuan was able to serve as the prime minister when he was only in his 20s.

When Cui Lingjing noticed that the two were faintly confronting each other, and he really felt that Yin Qingxuan's method was more secure, he said, "Father Ya, I think what Yin Xiang said makes sense. In fact, I am still very worried about Ya. Father's safety, didn't the imperial physician say that Yafu's injury has not fully healed? Or should someone else lead the army?"

He Xulan raised his eyes and looked into the distance. The sky was originally vast, but there were high walls in the deep palace.The high wall tightly covered the scenery outside the palace, and it was also like a gorgeous golden cage, shutting people inside.

Ningfu Palace.

Xue Ya knew that He Xulan had a banquet today, and he would probably return very late, so he didn't wait for the other party to come back to sleep, and went to bed after taking a bath.It's just that when he was sleeping soundly, he was woken up by someone.

In the dark of night, Xue Ya opened her eyes in a daze, only to realize that the person who teased him was He Xulan, and closed her eyes again.He was so sleepy that he just wanted to sleep, but He Xulan didn't seem to want him to sleep.

Xue Ya smelled the strong smell of alcohol on He Xulan's body. He felt a little disgusted, wrinkled his nose and rolled into the bed, but after a while, he was carried out again.

He was carried on He Xulan's lap and wanted to continue sleeping, but the smell of alcohol on He Xulan's body made him unable to sleep.Xue Ya could only open her eyes and complained, "Brother, you go take a bath."

It was obviously a complaint, but because she had just woken up, her voice was soft, and it sounded like she was being coquettish.

He Xulan didn't speak, he held Xue Ya's face with one hand, and kissed between her eyebrows.Xue Ya frowned slightly, he endured the smell of alcohol on He Xulan's body and let the other party kiss him, thinking that after two kisses, He Xulan would go to take a bath.Who knew it would be endless, he felt the smell of wine on his lips and teeth.

"Brother!" Xue Ya finally struggled to get away. He still remembered He Xulan's injury, so he didn't dare to stretch out his hand to push her. He just begged for mercy, "Brother, I'm so sleepy, let's kiss again tomorrow."

But at this moment, He Xulan turned his face away as if she couldn't understand what he said, and continued to kiss.Xue Ya was really about to cry, he was sleepy, and he was also uncomfortable with the smell of alcohol on the other party's body. After an unknown amount of time, he was finally put back on the bed.

Xue Ya breathed a sigh of relief when she heard He Xulan get up, raised her sleeves to wipe off the water stains on her lips, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.Seeing that sleepiness enveloped his upper body again, he felt that there was an extra hand on his waist.

Because Xueya is afraid of the heat, she wears little clothes at night, and she wears the thinnest material at the same time.The hand on his waist seemed to be not separated from the clothes, and he could even feel the water drops from the other's palm sticking to his skin through the material of the clothes.

He didn't dare to open his eyes, trying to pretend to be asleep to fool him, but soon he couldn't fool him anymore.

Xue Ya didn't know where He Xulan's interest came from in the middle of the night, so tormenting him, he asked He Xulan to read about his injury, but He Xulan didn't listen.In the middle of the journey, Xue Ya was still wondering if it might not be He Xulan, but he put his arms around the other's neck, looked at the face in front of him many times, and thought it was He Xulan's face.

He seemed to have returned to the night when he gave He Xulan the medicine. Seeing that it was already dawn outside, Xue Ya couldn't help but sobbed and scolded He Xulan, "Bastard!"

It's not that he didn't want He Xulan to touch him, why did he bully him so hard?And He Xulan clearly said that as long as he said to stop, he would stop, but this night he begged countless times, said all kinds of good things, and even slapped He Xulan's arm because he was too angry, but He Xulan simply ignored him.

When being carried to drink water, Xue Ya felt that he could not lift his hands, and his whole body hurt.He tried his best to raise his head to drink the water that was brought to his lips, when he heard He Xulan's voice.

"Xueya, I left Eunuch Huang to take care of you in Ningfu Palace."

Xue Ya drank the whole glass of water thirsty, and then looked wearily at He Xulan.He hadn't slept much, and his head was dull.

"Eunuch Huang takes care of me?"

He Xulan put down the celadon cup, and gently stroked Xueya's eyes with her fingertips.He looked at the face in front of him that was more charming than Xia Ri Fu Que, and slowly pursed his lips.

Xue Ya blinked, and then she was so tired that she pressed her chin on He Xulan's shoulder, "Brother won't you take me out of the palace?"

He thought about going out of the palace, thinking that he could buy some folk candy on the way.If you have time, it would be even better to go back to your hometown to see A Niang.

"Ah."

Xue Ya was a little dissatisfied when she heard that He Xulan only answered one word.He Xulan bullied him most of the time, and still treated him so coldly, it was too much!

He bit the other person's shoulder as if venting his anger. He didn't bite too hard, and then let go, "If you don't take it, don't take it. I don't want to go out in such a hot day. You will peel off your skin when the time comes. But I will laugh at you."

After saying that, Xue Ya felt the hands on her waist suddenly tightened. He was in pain all over, and when he was hugged tightly, he immediately took a breath.

Angrily, he scolded He Xulan again——

"asshole!"

He Xulan left, and when he left, Xue Ya was catching up on sleep.

When Xueya woke up, Ningfu Palace was still the same as Ningfu Palace, there was no missing a single member of the palace, but there was no master.

Xue Ya looked at the dormitory that didn't seem to have changed, and was stunned for a while before getting up and going out.He still felt uncomfortable and walked slowly.After finally stepping out of the palace gate, he saw Eunuch Huang.

"Eunuch Huang, I'm hungry." Xueya said to Eunuch Huang.

When Eunuch Huang saw Xueya, he paused. He stood not far away, his expression seemed a little different from the past.Seeing Eunuch Huang standing still, Xueya felt strange, and asked again, "Eunuch Huang?"

"The porridge is ready in the small kitchen, just waiting for you to wake up." Eunuch Huang finally smiled, returning to his former amiable appearance.

Xue Ya nodded, turned and went back to the room to wash.

He still doesn't understand what He Xulan's departure means, but he just feels a little bored, so boring that he feels that the days are getting longer and longer, and the nights are a little better because he can force himself to fall asleep.

Maybe five days, maybe ten days, Xue Ya couldn't remember how many days passed.He sat on the beauty couch under the window of He Xulan's bedroom every day, read He Xulan's scripts, and played with the Qiqiao lock that he had played before.Maybe he was too bored, but Eunuch Huang actually told him to write a letter.

"Write a letter? Can my brother receive the letter?" Xue Ya didn't even know where He Xulan was going to fight.

Eunuch Huang nodded, "Yes, every three days the palace will send a letter to the Queen Mother and General Yi. After Xue Ya writes the letter, I will send Xue Ya's letter to the Queen Mother together with the messenger. .”

Xue Ya had never written a letter before, so she was a little hesitant.He procrastinated until night before he picked up a pen and wrote crookedly on the letter paper: "As you see the words, I am Xueya..."

Just for these eight characters, he wasted three sheets of paper.After finally finishing the first sentence, the second sentence got stuck again.

What should he say to He Xulan?

Asking what he ate, or asking if He Xulan's injury healed?

The candlelight in front of her eyes was getting darker and darker, and there were more and more waste papers on the ground. Xueya finally finished writing the letter——

"Seeing the words is like a face, I am Xueya, I miss my brother so much."

Xue Ya admired her letter by the candlelight, and suddenly felt that the content seemed too small. He racked his brains for a while, and then drew two pig heads on the letter paper.

The two pig heads are close together, as if they are a pair.

After the letter was sent, Xueya asked Eunuch Huang, "Eunuch Huang, will my brother reply to the letter after receiving it?"

"Should be." Eunuch Huang said in a low voice, "I gave you a lot of money."

When Xueya heard "a lot of money", she immediately felt heartache.I wouldn't have sent it if I knew it earlier, and asked Eunuch Huang to give him all the money.

Thinking about it this way, but after the letter was sent, Xueya was still looking forward to receiving a reply, but before he could get a reply, he first looked forward to Cui Lingjing.

Without He Xulan's Ningfu Palace, Cui Lingjing naturally didn't have to worry about anything, he called Xueya to him, and tried to force a smile, "Xueya, do you still remember the meritorious service I mentioned earlier?"

Xueya nodded.

"Nowadays there is a severe drought. You help me to pray for rain. If you succeed in praying for rain, you will make a great contribution. I will change the low status of you and your mother, and you will no longer be a slave in the future. Next to Fengrui Palace, there is The palace is called Beauty Pavilion, you can live in it." Cui Lingjing said.
