Wait a minute, heroine

Crackling...

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and the sound of firecrackers was heard one after another in Jiangzhou City. The laughter of men, women, old and young floated into the Chen family mansion along with the smoke of fireworks.

Red lanterns were hung between the white walls and green tiles. Sanniang, as the housewife, had already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen. Fan Qinghe couldn't go back to his hometown. He couldn't stay in the Duke's Mansion during the New Year, so he came here today. , skillfully helping each other and chatting with each other:

"Can Night Terror Hall come back today?"

"Of course you can. New Year's Eve only happens once a year. If you don't come back for a meal, wouldn't your hard work throughout the year be in vain..."

…

And to say that the happiest thing during the New Year is the children.

Although Zhe Yunli was already sixteen years old, he was not that old at all and had a rather wild temper. Seeing that his wife had not come over yet, he and Ping'er ran into the courtyard of the Escort Bureau. There was a large box of fireworks and firecrackers next to them. The hands and feet were lined up quickly.

Ping'er, as the little maid of the Pingtian leader, is not low in martial arts, but her temper is timid. She was standing far away, hiding behind a carriage, and said with fear:

"Miss, please be careful with your skirt. The new clothes Madam just made for you. If you accidentally burn a hole, Madam will definitely spank Miss..."

Zhe Yunli was tossing the firecrackers, feeling quite arrogant as if his mother was not at home, and said:

"How can I be afraid of being spanked if I have beautiful skin and beautiful bones? Don't storytellers often say that you should have fun in time in your life..."

"Yunli!"

As soon as he said a few words, a cold scolding came from behind the courtyard wall, and then he saw Luo Ning walking out of the gate carrying two jars of wine.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Ping'er hurriedly ran to the backyard, while Zheyunli suddenly stood up, hid the two big firecrackers behind his back, and put on a polite and well-behaved look:

"Master's wife? Why are you here? Where is the master?"

Luo Ning looked at the firecrackers on the ground arranged in a nine-square array, and wanted to give a few words of reprimand, but it was not appropriate to be too strict during the Chinese New Year. After thinking about it, she decided to forget it. After entering the gate of the escort agency, she handed the wine jar to Ping'er:

"Why don't I come over for the Chinese New Year? Master You is too shy to come over for dinner. You can go to the pier to persuade me."

After all, Pingtian Cult Master has no special relationship with Ye Jingtang, and he is not familiar with Sanniang Qinghe and others, so it is reasonable for him not to want to come.

When Zhe Yunli saw that his master didn't come to eat during the Chinese New Year, he must have felt that it was not possible, so he ran to the street:

"I'll go now……"

"You put down the firecrackers first."

"oh……"

Zhe Yunli stopped, handed the firecrackers in his hand to his wife, and then quickly ran out with her skirt in hand.

Tap tap tap...

After Luo Ning watched Yunli go out, she shook her head secretly and looked at the firecrackers in her hands. It reminded her of the New Year celebrations when she was a child. After a little thought, she lit the lantern and then quickly threw it into the yard.

呲呲呲~

The Sky Monkey, who was braving the sparks, quickly shot out a string of sparks, and a big firecracker that was almost as thick as a villain, swirled into the sky, flew above the back house, and made a deafening noise:

Phew——!

The entire mansion was illuminated for a moment, and then the exclamations of Sanniang Fan girl Xiuhe and others were heard:

"ah!"

"Who let it go?"

"Scare someone to death..."

Luo Ning shrank her neck slightly, pretending that it had nothing to do with me, and walked slowly towards the back house.

Outside the mansion, Zhe Yunli also looked back and felt that the vendor selling firecrackers was quite conscientious and would have to buy some more later.

With this thought in mind, just as he ran out of the street, he noticed a carriage approaching on the crowded street.

The driver was a beautiful maid, while a fat bird with white hair stood on the horse, looking straight at the various snacks on the street.

Zhe Yunli's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he quickly ran over with his skirt in hand:

"Yaoji, come here!"

"grumble?"

When the bird heard the call, it immediately turned its head, then flew to Zhe Yunli's shoulder, raised its wings and flapped it.

Bang bang~

"Eh~"

Zhe Yunli held the naughty bird down, came outside the carriage, and looked inside:

"Eh? Aunt Lu, the Queen Mother, where are cousin Jing?"

Inside the carriage, the Queen Mother was still dressed as a wealthy lady, her manners were dignified and quiet, she just smiled and nodded to say hello.

Master Xuanji calmed down her idle temper, acted as calmly as a female elder should, and got off the carriage:

"I'm going to the Duke's Mansion first. I'll be here later. Can't you go out to play? Why are you alone?"

"I'm going to the pier to help my wife with some things. She and the others are cooking. We'll eat later."

"Oh... then go quickly and come back early."

"Hee~"

When Zhe Yunli saw that Ye Jingtang was not around, he didn't stay long and quickly ran towards the street with Bird Bird.

Master Xuanji stood there and watched. After the figures of the person and the bird disappeared, he walked outside the carriage and turned back on foot.

The Queen Mother had just entered the city, and she was supposed to go directly back to the Duke's Mansion for a New Year reunion, but when she returned, she had no reason to come to the Night Terror Hall for dinner, so she came here first. At this time, she was still a little embarrassed:

"Shui'er, is it inappropriate for me to go to Ye Jing Hall to have dinner with my family?"

"Did you visit to care for your subordinates during the Chinese New Year? Is there anything inappropriate? Your Majesty will be here later. What are you worried about..."

"Too……"

——

On the other side, the Duke's Mansion.

The Night Terror Hall rose and fell among the buildings in East Lake Bay, and within a moment, they arrived at the brightly lit Qin family mansion.

Although the Qin family is prosperous and yin is declining, the population is still prosperous. All the children and grandchildren who have served as officials or in the army have returned. They also have two bedrooms, three bedrooms, etc. A large family is busy in the banquet hall, and in the living room , the female officials who came with them also gathered together to spend the New Year in this strange place.

In order to avoid polite greetings, Ye Jingtang did not disturb the Qin family, and quietly fell into the guest courtyard and came outside the room where Yu Hu lived.

A lantern was lit in the room, and two maids were waiting in front of the door. A slight sound of water splashing could be heard inside.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang naturally didn't come close and fell outside the wall, coughing lightly:

"cough……"

There was a splash of water in the room, and then the soft and charming voice of the royal sister sounded from inside:

"You guys stand down."

"yes."

The two palace ladies immediately nodded and left the corridor.

Ye Jingtang then entered the courtyard and walked slowly to the door:

"Miss Yuhu is taking a bath?"

"Is it the Chinese New Year? Take a shower and change into new clothes. After going out for a while, your martial arts have improved a lot. It was only when I walked outside the wall that I discovered..."

Ye Jingtang was able to be guided by Lu Taiqing purely because Hu Niuniu greeted her from behind. She smiled and said:

"Thanks to Miss Yuhu's help, I went to Yuxu Mountain and I did have some new insights. Hmm... Where will Miss Yuhu go to have New Year's Eve dinner later?"

"We'll talk about this later, come in first."

"Oh...huh?"

As soon as Ye Jingtang moved, he paused again and looked at the room with the closed doors and windows. After some consideration, he came to the door, opened the door and entered.

The room is a partition covered by a bead curtain. Behind the bead curtain is a beauty screen. Under the bright yellow light, a woman can be vaguely seen leaning on a wooden barrel.

Ye Jingtang did not look around, closed the door, and looked at the paintings and calligraphy on the wall:

"But is there any news from the capital?"

The empress soaked in the bathtub with floating petals, gently picked up the water and sprinkled it on her chest. Her slender legs were crossed at the other end, her posture was casual and domineering:

"There is a lot of news. Cao Aning, the backbone of your development, sent a secret message, saying that Snow Lake Flower is suspected to be found in the Liaoyuan area, and there are many gangsters showing up. King Zuo Xian has been staying in the Xihai Protectorate in recent months.

"The spies sent by the imperial court to various tribes in the West Sea also found a wild Snow Lake flower a few days ago and sent the leaves back to the capital. It can be confirmed that the Snow Lake flower bloomed this year, probably in the past few days. Cao Cao My father-in-law has already taken the masters from inside to outside the customs..."

After hearing this, Ye Jingtang realized the urgency of the situation and turned around and said:

"Then I'm afraid I have to leave right after dinner. If I'm late..."

"There's no rush yet."

The empress turned around in the tub and lay on the edge of the tub, looking at the handsome young man in black robe outside the screen:

"It's not that easy for Beiliang to get a rare thing like Snow Lake Flower safely. If I want to get a share of the pie, it's not something that only one or two people can do.

"Tomorrow I will return to Beijing with you. You can take people to Tianlang Lake to take care of this matter. I will personally lead troops to Yazhou, and I will provide you with 100,000 troops to hold down the rear.

"It's best if you can get the Snow Lake Flower under the table. If you can't get it, send troops to attack the Tianmen Gorge Pass and put pressure on Beiliang..."

Ye Jingtang knew that the two dynasties were in a period of peace, had only been trading for a few years, and were evenly matched in terms of national strength. This fight could easily turn into a tug-of-war that would last for more than ten years. The impact would be too great. He thought for a while and asked:

"If you can't get the Snow Lake Flower, are you really going to fight?"

"I don't dare to fight. How can Beiliang spit out what's in his mouth? But the cost of a real war is too high. As long as we can't hit Hudong Road, Beiliang won't give many Snow Lake Flowers if we can get things under the table." It’s best to come back.”

Ye Jingtang nodded slightly, stroking his fingers and pacing for a moment, then sat down next to the tea table:

"How many people have gone to Beiliang? Is there any general news?"

Wow…

As soon as the words came out, I saw the beautiful woman behind the screen, standing up with her back turned. Through the screen, I could faintly see the perfect lines of shoulders and waist, and the arc of half a moon slowly appeared...

? !

Ye Jingtang noticed something was wrong and quickly looked away:

"Uh...what do you do?"

"Just get up, what can I do?"

The empress lifted her legs and stepped out of the tub, wrapped her body in a red bath towel, and walked out from behind the screen. The bath towel was only wrapped up to her armpits. Under the candlelight, she could clearly see Xue Ni's shoulders and collarbones, and her lower body only reached three inches above her knees. inches, revealing her smooth calves.

Seeing this posture, Ye Jingtang subconsciously sat up a little straighter, not looking right or wrong, feeling like he had nowhere to put his hands and feet.

Ta Ta ~

The empress walked barefoot across the carpet, came to sit on a chair next to the Night Terror Hall, put her left leg on her right leg, and picked up the tea cup:

"Snow Lake Flowers are too scarce. People in the arena in the Northern and Southern Dynasties will soon receive the news. Countless people tried their luck in the past. With your current strength, you no longer need to pay attention to the warriors below Wu Kui. You only need to beware of those at the top. Batch people..."

The faint scent of daughter comes to the nostrils, and the snow-white thighs and white neck are close at hand. It is not easy for Ye Jingtang to calm down and talk about business, so he can only try his best to look elsewhere:

“Who’s at the top?”

The empress probably liked to see Ye Jingtang's reserved look, so she stood up with a teacup in hand and deliberately paced back and forth in front of Ye Jingtang, looking thoughtful:

"Among the ten great masters of Beiliang, Shi Daoyu will definitely be there. I don't know if Yin Shicheng from Juntian Mansion will pass. These two are good at strange and obscene skills. As long as you are careful not to plot, they will hardly pose a threat to you. .

"Qi Qingfeng of the Drum Stage is the spearhead of Beiliang and a good friend of King Youxian of Beiliang. He has been responsible for the safety of King Youxian all year round. He should not take risks by going to Tianlang Lake."

"As for the Four Sages of Beiliang, Beiyunbian is the overlord of the snowy plains. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. They have always been on the same page with the imperial court. In order to prevent things from going wrong, Beiliang must have promised a share and told Beiyunbian not to cause trouble, so he will definitely not come.

"The Beiliang Imperial Guard recently showed up outside Yazhou Pass, patrolling the border troops everywhere. It seems that he wants to hold back Lu Taiqing, and Lu Taiqing naturally has to accompany him. The two sides are facing each other across the pass, and no one wants to interfere.

"As for Zhongsun Jin, the ancestor of Qianjimen, he is close to the Beiliang court, but Yanjing must leave someone behind to guard the rear. Otherwise, you or Monk Shenchen will not go to grab the snow lake flowers and instead take a detour. What should I do if I go to Yanjing to assassinate Emperor Liang?

"So near Tianlang Lake, I'm afraid only King Zuo Xian will participate. As long as you can pass the test of King Zuo Xian, you have a great chance of succeeding."

…

Ye Jingtang's eyes were almost dizzy from the two big white legs. After hearing the situation, he nodded and felt that it was not too much trouble. However, after thinking for a moment, he asked again:

"Eunuch Cao and I have left, and Yun'anke has become an empty city. If Zhongsun Jin goes against the grain and sneaks into the pass to cause trouble..."

The empress slightly shrugged her fair shoulders: "He is here. The current Holy Emperor is not Emperor Liang. He is only good at power and scheming, but his martial arts are mediocre."

"Oh yes."

Ye Jingtang thought about it. After thinking about it for a while, he made sure that he had no doubts, and then raised his eyes to look at the sky outside:

"Then it's settled. It's getting late, why don't you go to my place for New Year's Eve dinner first?"

The empress was waiting here specifically for the Night Terror Hall to pick her up. Naturally, she did not refuse at this time. She turned around, opened the closet, picked up her clothes, and asked:

"By the way, today seems to be your birthday. Will you be nineteen tomorrow?"

Ye Jingtang didn't expect Yuhu to still remember this, and said with a smile:

"That's right. Could it be that Miss Yuhu has prepared a gift?"

When the empress saw that Ye Jingtang dared to ask for a reward, her eyes became meaningful and she turned back to look at Ye Jingtang:

"Hmm? What do you want?"

"Well……"

Ye Jingtang couldn't control Yu Hu at all. In order not to play himself like Concubine Ye, he blinked his eyes and said:

"Actually, I don't want anything. Miss Yuhu can ask Lu Taiqing for advice, which is already the best gift."

The empress unfolded her red skirt and gestured on her chest:

"That's right, but it's your nineteenth birthday, so it's okay if you don't express it at all. Otherwise, you can compose an impromptu poem, and if it satisfies me, I'll reward you with a big gift?"

Ye Jingtang didn't mean to ask for a big gift, but he wanted to make Yuhu happy during the Chinese New Year, so he did what he wanted and joked casually:

"Hmm... The twenty-eight beauties have a body that looks like a crisp, and they wield a sword at their waists to kill ordinary people. Although no heads were seen, they secretly taught you that their bones were withered."

"..."

The empress blinked her beautiful eyes and thought a little, with a strange color in her eyes:

"I don't see it. Do you still know this?"

"Haha, I just listened casually before. Please change your clothes quickly. I'll go first... I'll go!"

While Ye Jing was talking openly, he saw Yu Hu, who was savoring it secretly, shaking his skirt twice, seemingly trying to shake it evenly.

As a result, the bath towel wrapped around her body was not that strong. With a big movement, her plump figure made waves, and the red bath towel slipped along her white and greasy skin and fell to the ground.

Thump~

There seemed to be a flash of white moonlight in the brightly lit room.

Ye Jingtang is sitting on the tea table on the side, the curve of his flawless back is completely reflected in his eyes, the plump white moon has a tension that makes it difficult to look away, and his legs are as straight as round jade pillars.

And Yuhu is holding the skirt with both hands, and the scenery in front of him is naturally endless. The astonishingly sized white ball only falls slightly under the action of gravity. Dots of red cherry blossoms can be seen on the side, and below it is a flat waist and abdomen, as well as a slightly visible white jade tiger. head……

Wow~

Ye Jingtang just caught a glimpse, and before he could take a closer look, Yuhu quickly hugged the skirt and turned around, only revealing the white curves on the left and right sides, his face also turned red, and he stared at him with a slight embarrassment:

"What are you looking at?"

"Well……"

Ye Jingtang didn't know if it was a birthday gift from Yuhu or if it was just an accident. He coughed lightly and stood up:

"I'm going out first, so what...be careful in the future. In fact, these words are the same if you say them through the door."

The empress narrowed her eyes slightly, and after watching Ye Jingtang Ma slip out of the door, she secretly "hum~" and continued to put on her clothes...
