Wait a minute, heroine

Boom~

Boom~

In the silent dormitory, the faint sound of bells came in, and the light gradually became brighter.

In the bed, the Queen Mother, who was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, was disturbed by the ringing of bells day after day. She frowned slightly, then turned over and touched her side.

簌~

Sususu~

?

The Queen Mother paused with her right hand, then opened her eyes and looked, only to see that the outside of the bed was empty, and the skirt hanging next to the dressing table was missing.

"Where are the people..."

The Queen Mother was a little confused and thought that Xuanji had gone out for something at night. She was about to continue lying down when she found a white fur ball on the tea couch by the window of the outer room.

The Queen Mother raised her upper body and took a closer look, only to find that the fluffy thing was a big white bird, sleeping unconsciously with its head tilted, and lying on her soft pillow very elegantly.

"Eh?"

The Queen Mother's eyes brightened, she stood up and put on her palace shoes, came to the outhouse, and looked carefully in front of her:

"Kekeke? Beloved concubine?"

"Ai Fei" is Li Ren's name, and "Keke" is the name of the real person Xuanji. Because Niaoniao ate and drank on the boat for a long time after returning, the Queen Mother also followed suit.

But unfortunately, Bird Bird's schedule is quite regular. When he shouldn't be sleeping, he gets up and plays like crazy, and when he should be sleeping, he doesn't even think about waking him up.

The Queen Mother shouted for a long time, but when she saw that Niaoniao ignored her, her eyes moved slightly, she thought for a while and then said:

"Big fat bird?"

"grumble?!"

Niaoniao, who was lying on the soft pillow sleeping without knowing whether he was alive or dead, raised his head when he heard the sound, his big round eyes full of shock.

The Queen Mother was satisfied and raised her hand to indicate:

"It's okay. I just saw that you were too sleepy and called you to continue sleeping."

"...?"

Niaoniao became more and more shocked, but immediately tilted his head, rolled to the side, fell into the gap between the soft pillow and the backrest, and stopped moving again.

The Queen Mother did not disturb the sleeping piglet anymore and began to search in the bedroom.

Since Bird is in her room, Naye Jingtang must be there, and Shuishui is gone, the two of them...

?

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's words that she was about to shout suddenly stopped, and her footsteps made no sound. She opened the door softly, and first went to the next door to take a look.

Next door is Hong Yu's residence. Although Hong Yu looks like a palace maid, she has been with the Queen Mother since she was a child. After entering the palace, she also had the official position of "maid in waiting". Her actual status is quite high and her residence is quite spacious.

Although it was just getting dark, Hongyu had already gotten up and was sitting in front of the dressing table getting dressed. She didn't seem to realize that someone was coming to Fushou Palace.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother did not disturb Hong Yu. She walked out of the door again and went to the teahouse in the side hall. Before she could get closer, she heard the soft sound of clinking glasses and the words of the man and woman:

"Don't drink so much, you have important things to do today."

"Don't worry, I won't pour a thousand cups~ This is nothing..."

"You talk so loudly that you still have a thousand cups to drink... The Queen Mother is here..."

?

The Queen Mother did not expect that she was so careful, and the Night Terror Hall could still tell who the person was. Upon seeing this, she quickly ran to the corner of the verandah, raised her head and looked around, and saw the real Xuanji sitting in the window of the side hall with her cheeks flushed. There is a small case leaning on the couch.

On the other hand, Ye Jingtang was opposite Xiao An. His clothes were intact on the left, but he had taken off his clothes on the right, revealing his slender arms with perfect lines. As he quickly pulled the clothes, he could clearly see the bulge of muscles under the skin...

The Queen Mother's eyes widened a little, she walked out from the corner, put on the majestic air of her mother, and said:

"Shui'er, what are you two doing?"

Ye Jingtang wanted to pull up his clothes, but the left side of his robe was torn by Xuanji, so he couldn't do it. Seeing the Queen Mother running over directly, he had no choice but to stand up, cup his hands and say:

"The Queen Mother."

Master Xuanji responded indifferently, swaying the small wine glass and responded softly:

"Drinking with a man, what else can you do? Why did you wake up so early?"

The Empress Dowager was obviously unhappy in her eyes, but the reason for her unhappiness was because her best friend didn't take her to the wine shop. She came up to her in a dignified manner, and was about to say a few words, when her sharp eyes noticed that there was a dark red rub on the inner side of Ye Jingtang's arm. Mark, his brows couldn't help but frown:

"Night Terror Hall, are you injured?"

It was hard for Ye Jingtang to talk about what happened last night. It was still brewing, so Master Xuanji next to him helped answer:

"There was nothing to discuss just now, I did it."

Ye Jingtang was about to nod, but he didn't expect that the face of the plump and plump Queen Mother in front of him darkened. She picked up the sword next to her and was about to use the scabbard to slap Xuanji's buttocks:

"You were drunk again, weren't you? Why didn't you strike lightly or harshly?"

"Well……"

Ye Jingtang was really flattered to be protected by the Queen Mother, but he couldn't let Master Xuanji get beaten in vain. He quickly stood in the middle and said kindly:

"It's normal to have some bumps in the discussion. Don't worry, Madam..."

The Queen Mother used the topic as an excuse, but with a slightly fierce expression, she slapped her best friend on the buttocks for not calling her while drinking.

Pa~

Master Xuanji was not angry at all, she just leaned over Xiao An and looked at Ye Jingtang who wanted to protect her but could not stop her:

"You go ahead and do your work first. Your Majesty will leave at noon, and you have to escort him. Go and pack up and have a meal first. Don't miss the time."

The Queen Mother originally wanted to chat for a while, but she had to go to Yutan Villa for vacation soon. She was not in a hurry, so she nodded:

"Your Majesty, the guard of honor moves slowly. You go and eat something first. Don't be hungry for a long time on the road."

Ye Jingtang nodded with a smile. After saying goodbye to the Queen Mother, he walked out of the side hall with his sword and whistled:

"咻——~"

"grumble……"

A weak cooing came from the side hall, and then the bird flew out of the window unsteadily, landed on the shoulder, and fell down without any movement again.

Ye Jingtang put the birds away and walked out. Just as he turned the corner of the verandah, he heard another voice coming from the side hall:

"Shui'er, did you sleep here with Ye Jingtang last night?"

"Hmm~"

? !

Ye Jingtang staggered. He did not expect the Queen Mother to ask such a question, nor did he expect Master Xuanji to answer such a question. However, after all, he could not interrupt the private jokes between women, so he pretended that he had not heard anything and hurried out of Fushou. palace.

Da Benben also lived in the palace yesterday. He should have been waiting for the empress to clean up in the morning, and then set off from Tianjie with the imperial army to Yutan Villa.

Ye Jingtang went directly to Changle Palace now. He might have happened to catch up with the Empress and Prince Jing bathing and changing clothes. They went outside the station. For this purpose, they left the imperial city first, fetched the horses and put on the black official robes, and went Heiya is not far from the palace.

Last night, just for fun, I touched the sword of a rich man. Regardless of whether the sword is valuable or not, the origin is not correct. If I hold it in my hand or lose it, I will become a thief. For this reason, I borrowed this sword. The sword must be returned.

As for the method of returning it, it is very simple. A noble son of a wealthy family lost his sword in Longyin Tower. Even if the guest doesn't care about the owner, he has to report it to the official to retrieve it, otherwise he will lose his reputation. Ye Jingtang handed the sword to the Hei Yamen, and casually said that after the snitch succeeded, he would sell the stolen goods in the black market in the city, and the people below would recover it and hand it over to him. As the deputy commander of the Hei Yamen, no detective would ask for the truth.

After finishing this matter, Ye Jingtang randomly found a place to eat on the street, and then returned to the imperial city and came to Changle Palace.

It is customary for the empress to go to Yutan Villa to rest in autumn every year, and her personal maids will accompany her, and the court meeting to discuss official matters will be held at Yutan Villa.

Although it sounds a bit troublesome, Yutan Villa is only more than ten miles away from the city. The Wei Dynasty originally came to court every five days, and the ministers who could go to court to discuss affairs were not short of carriages and horses. Because they changed places, their working hours were postponed, so there was no need. I got up at four o'clock in the morning to get ready, and the courtiers never had any objections to this.

Ye Jingtang arrived at Changle Palace by familiar means, and could already see many palace maids walking back and forth in the palace, carrying items that the empress often used in daily life.

In Cheng'an Hall, Dongfang Liren was still sitting in the study, seriously helping his sister handle official matters.

Ye Jingtang came to the door of the palace and found that Benben was busy with national affairs. Naturally, it was not easy to go in and disturb him, so he did his job as a guard and stood outside the door as a doorman. The sleeping bird was left behind Inside the trees outside the temple.

The empress was physically weak during this period and had no energy to deal with trivial government affairs. She only took care of the more critical matters and left all other messy matters to Dongfang Liren.

In the eyes of ordinary people, things that can be brought to the table of the emperor of a country must be important matters related to the rise and fall of a country, but in fact this is not the case. The territory of the Wei Dynasty is so large that a lot of things happen every day, but the countless feudal officials and local officials are enough to handle most things. The empress can just take a look at them. The biggest and most troublesome thing every day is the officials who are looking for trouble.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Taizu was very motivated and gave the officials the privilege of not being punished for their words. For this reason, it has become a routine for the officials in the court to submit a letter every day. A dog kept by a certain official was seen by the people when they passed by. After barking twice, he can write a long article eloquently, saying that the dog barks because he takes advantage of the power of others. This official may use his power to bully the people in his daily life, and he should investigate thoroughly.

The empress can't help but read these trivial things. If the reply is too perfunctory, Yan Guan won't have to worry about what to write tomorrow.

Now that these trivial matters fall on Dongfang Liren, it is even more troublesome, because she is the one who finds fault with officials the most. She can't count the number of times she has complained about the unclear authority of the black office and the high cost.

Dongfang Liren was furious when she saw it, but she couldn't be angry yet. As for giving a warning, forget about it. If she dared to attack those officials, she would die, and then they would leave her name and be infamy for eternity.

Dongfang Liren was sitting behind the desk, holding a long and eloquent speech in both hands, with a dark face. When he discovered that the Night Terror Hall was coming, he was probably afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions and curse and be overheard by the adults, so he said:

"Ye Jingtang, you go to Minglongtan to practice your martial arts first. I will call you after we set off."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang didn't say much. He turned around and headed to the Minglong Pond behind Cheng'an Hall, preparing to practice and wait for Benben to finish his work.

But as soon as he reached the lake, his ears twitched slightly and he heard a voice coming from inside Cheng'an Hall:

Wow~

The sound of splashing water was located in the Hutou Gate behind the dormitory.

"..."

Ye Jingtang paused in his footsteps and wanted to pretend he didn't hear anything, but just as he was about to continue walking, another voice came from inside:

Wow~

This was obviously calling him.

Ye Jingtang's eyes were a bit inexplicable. He first glanced in the direction of the study on the east side of the main hall, then lightly jumped on the balcony of the dormitory, entered it silently, came to the screen, and whispered outside the tiger head door:

"Miss Yuhu, are you looking for me?"

"Come in." Yu Jie's soft and charming voice sounded from the small bath.

Ye Jingtang opened his mouth:

"Prince Jing is in the palace, you..."

"It's so far away. As long as you don't make a lot of noise, how can Prince Jing hear you? Come in quickly."

Ye Jingtang was helpless. He took out the face towel he used last night from his arms, tied it around his eyes, and then gently opened the sliding door.

call--

The small bathroom was filled with mist, and the pool water was dyed milky white by the snow lake.

The Empress of Wei was lying in the water with her back against the white jade stone and her hands were not covered. Although she was naked, the water in the pool was opaque and only two semicircles could be seen floating on the water. Instead, they were scattered randomly on the ground at the edge of the pool. Wearing a red skirt and small clothes and pants.

Ye Jingtang closed the sliding door, and came to the edge of the bathtub with ease. When he found that his feet touched the skirt, he squatted down and picked up the red skirt:

"Are you seriously injured?"

"Old wounds will become like this when the weather turns colder, whether serious or not."

The empress stirred up water and sprinkled it into the bottomless white ravine, and asked:

"I heard that Sun Wuji came to the capital. Did you learn swordsmanship?"

"Yes, I found the Lingji Sword in Wuzhou and sent it back. As a result, Old Sword Master Sun came directly to teach me the swordsmanship without even asking me to open my mouth... You want to learn it."

"There are ways to learn what I want to learn, I don't need your teaching..."

When the Empress of Wei said this, her words stopped abruptly.

Ye Jingtang paused after moving. He held the folded skirt in his left hand and pinched a small triangular piece of cloth on the ground with his right hand. His expression changed slightly.

He didn't scan the room before entering, and his clothes didn't move on their own, and he knew what was on the ground. When he took it into his hands, the familiar touch and shape made him realize that he had accidentally taken Yuhu's original flavor and wanted to throw it away directly. , it doesn’t seem appropriate; but if you put the clothes away without recognizing what they are, it obviously doesn’t seem quite right either…

When the Empress of the Wei Dynasty saw Ye Jingtang, she just took away her underwear, but she still couldn't put it down and frowned slightly:

"Just put it aside. You don't have to clean it up for me."

Ye Jingtang behaved like this, pretending that nothing happened, placed the skirt and even the triangular piece of cloth on the imperial concubine's couch, and asked again:

"How long will your Majesty stay at Yutan Villa to recuperate?"

"It depends on the situation, it can take as little as ten days or more as two months."

The Empress of Wei raised her hand, picked up the remaining bellyband, put it on the other side, and then said:

"You have to do rounds at Yutan Villa these days. I promised you last time that I would give the people around you the opportunity to learn the Jade Bone Diagram. I have just seen it once. I'm afraid it will take a long time to go to Yutan Villa. Do you want to If they learn it early, they can be allowed to live in the palace these days. Since the Holy Spirit is not here these days, they can still eat and drink in the palace, and you will not have to work outside and worry about your family all day long."

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he was quite surprised. He ran into the small bath and wanted to take this opportunity to ask if he could take Ning'er and Sanniang into the palace to learn the Jade Bone Diagram when there was no one in Changle Palace. Unexpectedly, Yuhu spoke directly first.

"In the important place of the imperial city, there will be no problem for them to stay in the emperor's palace in the absence of His Majesty."

The Empress of Wei shrugged casually: "The place where the Holy One is is the palace of the imperial city. Where the Holy One is not, it is just a house no matter how big it is. If you come here every day, it can be regarded as protecting the imperial city at both ends; but I still Let me remind you that the Minglongtu is an important weapon of the country. It must be passed down to future generations and the Holy One cannot dispose of it at will. Now it is in your hands and you can teach the people around you. If something goes wrong, the Minglongtu will be lost. Yes, your guilt is not small, it will really make you lose your head.

Ye Jingtang smiled softly; "I naturally know the importance of it. I take turns with Master Xuanji every day, and just check once inside and outside the imperial city when I come back. I will let them study the Jade Bone Diagram in Minglongtan in the past few days. Let them leave the palace once they learn how to do it.”

The Empress of Wei nodded and talked more about this matter, but after careful consideration, it seemed that there was no formal topic, so she sat up a little higher, letting two white balls surface, with red dots looming, and joked:

"We are packing things outside. It will take a while before we set off. Why don't you come down and rub my back."

? ?

Ye Jingtang saw Yuhu coming again, and with the experience of dealing with it before, he just followed the trend and said: "That's okay." Then he untied his belt and prepared to get into the pool.

?

The Empress of Wei tilted her head slightly and saw that Ye Jingtang had become thick-skinned, so she was not panicked. After all, she knew that Ye Jingtang was trying to scare her.

She moved to the side to make room, half-leaning on the edge of the bathtub and waited, without any sense of urgency. Seeing Ye Jingtang slow down after taking the robe, she even joked:

"Take it off? Why don't you dare to take it off?"

"...?"

Ye Jingtang really didn't believe that Hu Niuniu could watch him take off his clothes. He crossed his arms and crossed his arms to the left and right, ready to take off the silver soft armor and try it.

In the end, he was right. No matter how talkative Hu Niuniu was, she was still a woman after all. How could she not be timid when she was given nothing for nothing?

But what he didn't expect was that Yuhu had no intention of giving in. Instead, when he pulled up the soft armor to cover his head with both hands, he suddenly pressed his hand on the white jade ball on the left side and coughed several times:

"Cough cough - cough -"

The coughing sound was quite loud, and there was movement in the study room on the east side of the palace, followed by the sound of running in this direction.

Tap tap tap...

"you!"

Ye Jingtang was caught off guard, and he suddenly pulled down his soft armor, trying to rush out of the door, but because the pull down was too big, the black scarf tied around his eyes was also brought to his nose, and his vision was restored immediately.

Then the scene that came into view was the small bathroom shrouded in white mist, and the beauty of the trembling flowers in the pool.

The Empress of Wei had to cough hard, so she would definitely not be able to lean against the bathtub. She was sitting in the bathtub, with the water up to her ribs. She was holding the watermelon on her left side with her right hand, and she could clearly see the green-white jade fingers sinking into the soft greasy substance.

The right side was shaking violently because it was not restrained and coughed hard, and a bright red color was left as an afterimage, but with Wu Kui's eyesight, he could see it very clearly.

! !

There was a moment of dead silence in the bathroom.

The empress stopped coughing immediately, raised her left hand to cover the other side, and changed into a posture with her hands crossed in front of her body, and her face immediately turned a little red.

This was the first time for Ye Jingtang to accidentally take advantage of Yuhu. Not only was he not nervous at all, but he was also quite happy. The look in his eyes probably meant - he suffered a loss, right? Let you tease me...

Because the footsteps were running this way, they passed through the main hall and reached the door. Ye Jingtang didn't have time to see Yuhu's reaction. He picked up the robe and turned around and ran out. In an instant, he opened the door and rushed out of the dormitory, jumping out of the window. …
