Wait a minute, heroine

Swish, swish, swish~

Deep in the palace, the Queen Mother was wearing a dark red palace dress and sitting on a soft couch by the window. A piece of rice paper was placed in front of her, and next to her was a brass incense burner with smoke curling up. She was absent-mindedly framing the drizzle outside the window.

Hongyu sat next to him and helped with the grinding. He looked at the fine and dense lines on the scroll. After considering it for a moment, he praised:

"The empress has never touched Yang Chun Shui since she was a child. I never expected that she could draw the noodles below so lifelike..."

The Queen Mother recovered her mind and turned to look at Silly Hongyu:

"Is this the noodle I drew?"

Hongyu blinked her eyes and raised her hand to signal:

"The water is still bubbling all over this line. It can't be a painting of rain, haha... uh..."

As soon as Hongyu smiled twice, she noticed that the Queen Mother's eyes were slightly narrowed. She secretly thought something was wrong. She seemed to have guessed it right and stood up quickly:

"The Queen Mother, are you tired from sitting? I'm going to make a pot of tea..."

As he said that, he ran away quickly.

The Queen Mother felt that this silly girl didn't even look at her, because she had been with her since she was a child, so she didn't care. She put down the brush, picked up the paper and looked at it carefully, trying to see why it looked like noodles.

As a result, before he could see everything, his vision suddenly went dark and he was covered by someone's hands.

?

The Queen Mother sat up a little straighter, with a hint of displeasure on her round and round cheeks:

"Hongyu, you are naughty again, aren't you?"

There was no response from behind, but there was a breath approaching, and then a tap on the cheek:

Bo~

The Queen Mother was caught off guard, her shoulders shook slightly in shock, but she immediately reacted, pulled down her big hand to cover her eyes, and said in surprise:

"Night Terror Hall? When did you come back?"

Ye Jingtang stood behind the Queen Mother. Seeing that the Queen Mother recognized her, he let go and sat in front of her with a smile in her eyes:

"I just came back, come here to say hello to the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager has heard about the turmoil outside the customs these days. It can be said that she doesn't think about food or tea. She will definitely be filled with surprises when she sees her lover again.

She originally wanted to say hello, but she soon realized that Ye Jingtang was very presumptuous. He put his arm around her waist and slid it up her buttocks. She looked dignified and patted her hands:

"Is this how you greet me?"

"hehe……"

It had been a long time since the Night Terror Hall had seen the hand-warmer, and there was no one else in the room. Naturally, he put it away before it was too late. He hugged the Queen Mother to him, lowered his head to look at the scroll, and said with a soft smile:

"Why are you drawing this? Do you want to wait for me to come back and feed it to me?"

The Queen Mother wanted to squirm and dodge, but when she heard these words, her eyes froze and her tone became fiercer:

"Take a closer look!"

"Well……"

Ye Jingtang's affectionate expression froze slightly. He carefully looked at the lines on the drawing paper. No matter how he looked at it, he was putting strips into the pot. After thinking about it, he was not sure:

"Is it possible that you are painting cloud glass and cooking noodles?"

The Queen Mother took a gentle breath, causing her loose skirt to bulge out in a semicircle visible to the naked eye, and pushed the hands behind her waist away:

"It is said in books that lovers always have the same understanding of each other, but you are better off, huh..."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was unhappy, Ye Jingtang quickly smiled and said:

"Okay, okay, I know what the Queen Mother is drawing, it's just a joke to liven up the atmosphere..."

"Tell me, what did I draw?"

Ye Jingtang's mind raced and he quickly searched his surroundings for anything related to 'threads and water', but there was none in the room. Finally he looked at Tinghu Lake outside the window:

"rain?"

The Queen Mother was not sure about what she felt about the night terror, but she guessed it correctly, so she could tell a little bit, and her expression softened:

"That's more or less the same. The drizzle is like silk and the drops of water are like lotus. As long as you are an expert, you can tell them at a glance. When you reach a high position in the future, you can't just practice martial arts. You have to learn more about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, otherwise you will encounter In this situation, wouldn’t it be a shame…”

Ye Jingtang was relieved and said with a smile:

"I am a martial artist. I really don't know much about these things. I will definitely study more in the future. I heard from the palace maid that my queen has not thought about food and tea recently. Is it because of me?"

The Queen Mother was indeed like this recently, but in front of a man, she admitted how embarrassed she was, and just frowned and said:

"What do I miss about you? Do you want to bully others when you are here? You should care about Yuhu. She is worried about your safety these days. She can't sleep well and is sick."

"Um?"

Ye Jingtang frowned when he heard this and said, "Are you sick?"

The Queen Mother sighed softly: "Yuhu and I were taking a bath in the imperial concubine pool the day before yesterday. In the middle of the bath, I suddenly fainted. I was frightened at the time. I was about to call the doctor over, but Yuhu woke up again. , said it was nothing serious, but fainted for no reason, how could it be nothing serious..."

Listening to these stories, Ye Jingtang inevitably became worried. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the emperor's palace:

"I'll go check it out later."

"Um"

After the Queen Mother said a few words, she turned around slightly, leaned in the arms of Ye Jingtang, and looked up and down:

"I heard from Yuhu that you were injured outside. Where was the injury?"

Ye Jingtang withdrew his gaze: "My body is stiff, just a few skin injuries. It's almost healed now, don't worry."

How could the Queen Mother not worry about being a lover who could not be told to anyone for the rest of her life? She lifted up her robe and saw the scars on her shoulders, bit her lower lip, and hoped that she would never leave the house again, and just stay in the palace as a guard. .

But Ye Jingtang is too capable and irreplaceable. If he is not allowed to go out, many things will come to a halt. This is obviously unrealistic.

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and stopped talking.

Ye Jingtang sat cross-legged on the couch, holding the Queen Mother on his lap, looking at the unhappy face:

"I know the rules. Nothing will happen outside. Don't worry all day long. Just wait happily for me to come back."

The Queen Mother sighed faintly: "What's the use of worrying about me? You have to go out when you should. If I were really your wife, I could still be like my aunt and sister-in-law, and find a way to leave a seed before my husband leaves, so that he can be with me for a long time." If something goes wrong outside, you can raise the child. But I am the Queen Mother, how can I help you give birth to a baby? Even if you want to keep hope..."

Ye Jingtang blinked:

"Your Majesty, do you want to give me a baby?"

The Queen Mother's face turned red, but she still didn't shy away from being alone with each other in private. She frowned and said:

"I stay alone in the palace. You are away from home all year round and don't come here often. If you have a baby by your side, life won't be so miserable... You can't stay, so why are you talking about this?"

Ye Jingtang is young and really has no plans to have children. In the past, she used Jianghu secret methods to prevent pregnancy, otherwise Ning'er would have become a mother.

Hearing that the hand warmer wanted to give him a baby, he hugged him a little tighter:

"If you want to stay, there must be a way, but there is no need to be so anxious. Well... you can live the life of a young couple first, and then consider these things when you are ready. I am a Martial Saint now, and I will be busy with things in the future. It’s not much, I should be able to have some free time after I finish my busy work this time..."

The Queen Mother was being rubbed through her clothes and her breathing was a little unsteady. She asked:

"You are living as a married couple and you are offending me like this every day?"

Ye Jingtang shook his head and said: "This hasn't even started yet, so it's not an offense."

The Queen Mother felt that this was already going too far. It had not even started yet, so it was really offensive...

The Queen Mother reacted, her face turned red, and she whispered:

"You...you still want to have sex with me?"

Night Terror Hall is quite candid about this issue:

"As a normal man, I definitely want to serve you, but it depends on your wishes. I'm not in a hurry."

Although the Empress Dowager dares to kiss and touch her, she is still a bit timid about actually having sex. After all, she is a young girl, and she cannot go back if she breaks the precept. Moreover, if she accidentally gets pregnant, she will live in Fushou Palace with a big belly. Are you still alive after the news gets out?

The Queen Mother pursed her lips and said hesitantly: "If you want it, there is nothing I can't give you. It's just... it's hard to explain to the palace. How about I just do what is written in the book and help you... …”

Night Terror Hall is a bit funny:

"I'm not in a hurry. I haven't thought about it. I'll talk about it later. Of course, if the empress wants to play the tricks in the book, I will definitely have no reason to cooperate..."

"I am here to serve you, and you still have to say what I want? Why are you so thick-skinned? As I said last time, I will reward you well when you return to the capital. This is not the capital, but the Jingjie City..."

The two of them chatted like this, talking about private things between men and women. When Ye Jingtang came in, he signaled with his eyes that Hong Yu should go to rest, and no one disturbed him halfway.

However, the main purpose of Ye Jingtang's trip to the palace was to recover his life, and he could not stay for too long. After sitting for a while, footsteps were heard outside the palace, and the palace maid reported:

"Your Highness, Prince Jing is here."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother quickly closed her loose clothes, stood up from Ye Jingtang's arms, and pushed her shoulders:

"Li Ren is here, get out quickly."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang didn't say much. After standing up and saying goodbye, he went out of the palace door. As soon as he came to the verandah outside the palace, he saw a big man with his head held high and his chest walking towards this direction with several palace maids.

When Ye Jingtang saw this, he wanted to say hello, but he saw Benben who was in a good mood when he came. When he saw him, his eyes turned cold, as if he really wanted to beat him...

?

Ye Jingtang paused and said in a daze:

"Your Highness?"

Dongfang Liren clenched his fists under his sleeves, walked to the Night Terror Hall, stepped on the toes of the Night Terror Hall, and said: "Sex embryo!", and then took the palace maid without looking back. Entered the hall.

Tap tap tap...

?

Even if Ye Jingtang was a god, it would be impossible for him to guess that Benben was responsible for bringing Xue Baijin in. He was blamed on him, and he felt quite confused inside.

Seeing Benben entering the house directly, Ye Jingtang couldn't chase him in to ask the reason, because he was still worried about Yuhu's health, so he could only quickly go to the emperor's palace with full of doubts...

——

The place where Yuhu lives is located in the center of the palace. The courtyard and lake are surrounded by exotic flowers and trees, which are in bud under the continuous spring rain. The scenery is extremely elegant.

But Ye Jingtang heard from Huaiyan that Yuhu was unwell, so he had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery at this time. He walked quickly through the corridor and followed the palace maid's guidance to the outside of a main hall.

The main hall was the same as before, there were no maids inside or outside, and it seemed quiet and deserted.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang didn't care too much about etiquette. He walked to the door and found that the door was closed, so he raised his hand and knocked:

"Miss Yuhu?"

"here I am."

A slightly lazy and charming voice came from the hall, with a hint of weakness in her tone, which sounded like something was wrong with her body.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang didn't dare to delay. He raised his hand and pushed open the door. The result was:

Squeak~

"Yu...I'm going!"

Although the main hall looks quite solemn and solemn from the outside, the inside is not the living hall of a palace, but rather like the Sun Pool of the Imperial City.

As soon as the door of Night Terror Hall was opened, the first thing you saw was a translucent gauze screen. On the left and right sides were tea couches, chess tables and other furniture, and behind the screen was a two-foot-square pool made of white jade. There were faucets at the four corners, spewing water. Hot spring water.

On the wall facing the door, there is a mural carved from jade, with a relief of a coiling dragon carved on it, and below the mural, there is a woman leaning on the edge of the pool.

The woman's arms were spread out on the edge of the pool, and there was a tray beside her with Lianghu small wine in it. The water in the pool was up to her chest, and on the semi-circular arc line of the half-floating surface, she was wearing a red dress with a very new style. It looks like a swimsuit, but underneath...

I didn’t dare to look at the Night Terror Hall below.

Ye Jingtang opened the door worriedly, and was stunned when he saw such an exciting scene. After he came to his senses, he quickly exited and closed the door, looking around:

"Why are you taking a shower again?"

In the imperial concubine pool, the empress had a smile on her lips:

"I'm not feeling very well. I want to soak in the hot springs to get rid of the cold. I have to say something before entering. Why are you so rash?"

Ye Jingtang really didn't expect Yuhu to be taking a bath. After all, Benben had just been here and it didn't look like he had played in the water.

However, the time was so short, it was possible that Benben had not entered the water. Ye Jingtang knew that he was being abrupt and did not make any excuses. He took out a face towel, covered his eyes first, and then opened the door and entered the hall:

"Why are you feeling unwell?"

The empress was actually wearing clothes, but there were relatively few clothes. When she saw Ye Jingtang coming in blindfolded, she picked up the water and sprinkled it in front of her:

"I don't know, I'm just dizzy and weak, just like in the autumn in previous years. I guess there is something wrong with the Mingshen Picture and the Evergreen Picture. These two pictures can't be found for the time being. Don't be too anxious. They can't be found for the time being. event."

How could Ye Jingtang not be in a hurry? Now the Wei Dynasty is marching to the border, and the war may start tomorrow. If Yuhu falls at this time, the Wei Dynasty will be leaderless, and Benben cannot be allowed to preside over the situation.

Ye Jingtang judged the route based on the subtle movements in the hall, walked around the screen and came to the back of Yuhu, squatted down and held his right wrist to check carefully:

"I have a solution for Evergreen Tu. King Zuo Xian was fought with the help of Master Pingtian. I was seriously injured afterwards. She went after Xue Huhua and should get back a lot. I made a deal with her, and she gave Xue Huhua and The Evergreen Picture was sent, and the imperial court taught her the Minglong Picture. As long as the imperial court agreed, she could get the Evergreen Picture.

"As for the Ming Shen Tu... two thousand cavalrymen dispersed into the ice field. Leader Pingtian could not recover them all by himself. Most of them must have been sent to Hudong Road. This is the only part of Snow Lake Flower. If we can hold them all in our hands, Beiliang No matter how angry you are, you can only turn to us. It can be considered an important bargaining chip in future negotiations between the two countries.

"When I recover from my injuries, I will leave the quarantine and go to Yanjing. I will try my best to get all the Ming Shen Tu and Snow Lake Flowers back. If I can't get them back, I will burn them. I won't leave any of them to Beiliang..."

The empress originally wanted to tease Ye Jingtang, but when she heard these words of concern and concern, her heart turned into a sigh of relief. She turned sideways and raised her fingers to pull off the black scarf that covered her eyes.

"Eh!"

Ye Jingtang suddenly saw the light, saw the fair-skinned beauty so close at hand, and quickly turned his head:

"I'm talking about business, what kind of monster are you?"

The empress leaned on the edge of the pool and raised her hand to pour the wine:

"I'm wearing clothes and I'm not showing anything."

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he was as shocked as a child:

"You call these clothes?"

The empress lowered her head and looked at the red dress and the diagonal skirt below her waist:

"Isn't that right?"

"..."

Ye Jingtang was silent for a while, having nothing to say. He found a futon and sat down next to him, and continued to ask:

"what do you think?"

The empress picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Ye Jingtang:

"You were seriously injured outside the customs and you just came back. Before I could reward you, I asked you to risk going deep into the enemy's territory. If word of this spreads, who else would dare to serve the imperial court."

Ye Jingtang took the wine glass, shook his head and said:

"Beiliang destroyed the Northwest Royal Court. Although I have been in Honghe Town since I can remember, the revenge of genocide still has to be avenged. Snow Lake Flower will never be given to Beiliang. And I also want the Ming Shen Diagram. This matter is what I want to go to Okay, I'm just helping you treat your old illness by the way, you don't need to think about rewards."

The empress knew that Ye Jingtang would say this, but how could she really accept it calmly? She thought about it and signaled to Chizi:

"Would you like to come down and take a bath? There are a lot of elixirs in here, which are good for recovering the body."

It is an extremely favored honor for a minister to take a bath and chat with the emperor, but it is different if the emperor is a woman. This is not an unspoken rule for subordinates.

When Ye Jingtang heard this, his eyes showed a bit of helplessness:

"If you keep doing this, I will stand outside the door and talk to you."

"Haha~ This threat is quite scary."

Seeing that Ye Jingtang could not come down, Yuhu got up and stepped onto the edge of the pool.

Wow~

Ye Jingtang was originally sitting on the futon, and as soon as Yuhu got up, there was only a gold ring on the left side of the connected red oblique skirt, which appeared in front of him. From the outside, there was definitely no bow-tie panties under the oblique skirt.

Ye Jingtang's breath condensed and he quickly stood up:

"You're not wearing pants?"

The empress was dripping with water. She walked slowly and sat down next to the tea couch. She put her left leg on her right leg and shrugged slightly:

"What pants should I wear in the shower?"

"..."

Ye Jingtang opened his mouth, held it in for a long time, nodded and said:

"That makes sense!"

Then he walked to the other side of the tea table and sat down straight:

"Your health is important, don't be joking. Let's settle the matter of Evergreen Picture first. What do you think of the request of Leader Pingtian?"

The empress swayed her white toes slightly:

"What if the court doesn't agree?"

Ye Jingtang spread out his left hand: "If you don't agree, I will go talk to the leader of Hepingtian and ask her to relax the conditions. We will run back and forth until both parties agree. The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh, and I can't just ignore them. What can I do?"

The empress blinked her eyes. Faced with these words, she would be lying if she said she wasn't moved. She smiled and said:

"Why don't I worry about you doing things? With the sign of 'I am here in person', no matter what happens in the future, if you agree, the Wei Dynasty will agree. There is no need to come back to ask me what I mean."

Although this was an understatement, it was basically equivalent to a direct delegation of power. When the prime minister heard this sentence, he would probably burst into tears of gratitude on the spot, and then he would give in after a while.

But Ye Jingtang is a pure Jianghu person, so he really didn’t feel much about these words. He just said:

"That means you agree. I will go back later and see Master Pingtian and get the Evergreen Diagram back. You can return it after you finish studying it."

The empress was stunned: "Xue Baijin is in the city?"

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he was afraid that the two would run out and fight again, so he said seriously:

"Leave this matter to me. If you don't interfere, if you continue to act on your own and make trouble, I will abandon my choice and go back to Honghe Town. It's useless for you to come and beg me in person."

Ye Jingtang is definitely the first person in the world who dares to speak so forcefully to the empress.

But the empress was really a little timid when she heard this. She smiled and poured wine for Ye Jingtang:

"Okay, I, a woman, shouldn't talk too much about interfering in men's affairs, right? Let's put aside the matter of Minglongtu for now. This time you snatched the Snow Lake Flower and came back, which can be regarded as making an immortal contribution. The Holy Master hasn't said anything yet. , the court officials have already begun to ask you for rewards, and want to grant you the title of Dazhu Kingdom..."

"What is Dazhuguo?"

"Dazhuguo is not a thing, it is a false title, meaning the right-hand man of the emperor. There are only two in the entire Wei Dynasty, one is Qin Xiangru, the Duke of Jiang State, and Wang Yin, the Duke of Zhenguo. They are basically on the same level as the prince."

Ye Jingtang waved his hand and said: "I have no use for these things. The court can reward them as they wish."

The empress sighed softly: "If you were interested, this matter would be easier to handle. But if you are not interested, and I only give you these, wouldn't the Holy Spirit chill your heart? What do you want, just tell me directly, don't you? It’s okay to go too far.”

Ye Jingtang wanted to decline politely, but thinking of the Queen Mother's words, he hesitated a little and turned his head to look in the direction of the Queen Mother's palace.

The empress had actually known it for a long time and had not revealed it. Seeing Ye Jingtang's actions, she said:

"The Queen Mother has a special status. The current situation between the two countries is unclear. If the Queen Mother is deposed and allowed to return home and remarry, the Southeast will be in chaos. I will deal with this matter first. I will not care about it privately, but I will not make it public until things settle down."

"..."

Ye Jingtang's expression froze, and his calm and self-assertive aura weakened a lot, and he whispered:

"You know?"

"Hmph~ The Queen Mother is as pure as a blank sheet of paper. How can she hide her thoughts? How can I not see it when I get along with her day and night?"

The empress said this and then looked at the Night Terror Hall:

"But in this case, when you get back the Singing Dragon Picture from Yanjing, what reward should I give you? You should look down on the maids in the palace, and there will be no one else."

Ye Jingtang was quite ashamed, shook his head and said:

"I have never asked for any rewards. These are all deserved. If you insist on rewards, I will not be able to resist..."

The empress smiled softly and said no more. She turned to lie on the soft couch, exposing her snowy back, and took out a small bottle from the box next to her.

"This is medicine sent from Tai Hospital. It can promote blood circulation and qi. How about massage? You can help me push it."

Ye Jingtang caught the small medicine bottle and looked down at Yuhu in the swimsuit:

"How about I call the doctor girl over?"

"The doctor's technique is too gentle and the pressure is uncomfortable. You are a man, so use more force. Come on."

"..."

Ye Jingtang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, sat down next to Yuhu, rolled up his sleeves, poured the essential oil into his palms, and rubbed his hands and feet quickly:

"I used to say that in the escort agency, I practiced martial arts with the escorts. We often massaged each other to relax the neck bones. I was quite good at this. Come on, put your arms back flat and lie down..."

The empress originally thought that Ye Jingtang would be embarrassed to restrain her hands and feet. Seeing this, she was slightly stunned and felt that something was wrong, but she still obeyed the order and lay down.

Bang bang bang~

After Ye Jingtang touched the essential oil, he patted it quickly on his fair back. After relaxing the muscles, he pressed his thumbs on the left and right sides of the abacus bone and stroked along!

"hiss--"

The sudden pain came, and the empress immediately raised her upper body, and her face, which was no longer as light and pale as before, was twisted a bit:

"It hurts...you..."

"It just hurts! If you don't feel it when you press it, it means you are in a vegetative state. Your body is too skinny, so you have to be strong, otherwise it won't be effective. Just bear with it!"

Ye Jingtang said, pinching Xiang Xiang's shoulder again, pressing the back shoulder muscles with his thumb, and exerting acupressure:

"Relax, don't tense up..."

The empress's red lips parted slightly, and she almost lost her breath. She waved her hand lightly, and waited for Ye Jingtang to stop her strength before speaking:

"Okay, okay, let's call the doctor girl over. You have been fighting here and there for so long. You should go home and rest early."

Ye Jingtang frowned and said: "How can you massage and set bones if you are afraid of pain? Do you think this is a concubine's fault? I was pressed by my adoptive father and cried for father and mother. I couldn't survive it and felt very comfortable afterwards. Come on, take a breath... …”

The empress can withstand severe pain when fighting, but she is currently in a relaxed environment, and Ye Jingtang's hands are still so strong. She can't withstand the sour feeling. She frowned slightly when she was pressed and tried to beg for mercy. In the end, she simply used her feet. He kicked Ye Jingtang's waist and pushed him away:

"Okay, okay, you go out..."

Yuhu was originally only wearing a diagonal skirt. Now he was lying on his side, raising his legs and kicking the man. The red diagonal skirt was lifted up, and the tiger's head without anything painted on it was displayed generously in front of his eyes.

Ye Jingtang originally had no evil intentions and wanted to give Yu Hu a good bone-setting massage, but when he saw a crescent moon from the corner of his eye, his breath suddenly became confused. He coughed lightly and turned his head to look away:

"That's okay. Let the doctor girl press it hard. If it doesn't work, call Fairy Lu. Also, remember to put on your pants. I've reminded you so many times."

Yuhu didn't say anything. He just watched Ye Jingtang go out. After the door was closed again, he raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow. He didn't know where to start if he wanted to complain...
