At this moment, the night is getting dark and the heat is falling, which is when people's hearts are impetuous.
In the backyard of the East Palace, Li Qiuya washed away her sweat under the service of Mingzhu. She was already lying on the bed, just tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep, and couldn't help but turn over on the bed. An arm as white as a lotus root suddenly reached out from the ice silk quilt, and pressed half of my round and round face against the brocade quilt. There was a candlestick on the high table. Through the gap between the curtains, it penetrated into the bed.
Under the delicate jade-like clavicle, two waxing moons appear and disappear in the mist, sometimes evenly, sometimes slightly rapidly, breathing.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to resume the morning dynasty and gain the power to discuss politics. I don't know how my father will deal with it?" Li Qiuya thought about it, and an intoxicating blush gradually appeared on Xue Ni's cheeks.
Now the balance in her heart has begun to tilt slightly.
When I think about how much I have been loved by His Highness the Crown Prince these days, I feel flustered and my whole body is burning, my fair face and jade skin are as hot as fire.
Furthermore, His Highness the Crown Prince was actually willing to serve her at that time. He did not feel that she was dirty, nor did he hold any hatred in his heart. He wanted to torture her in retaliation for his previous poisoning. There was no hatred in such an attitude. On the contrary, it was Like before.
And this kind of love seems to really make Li Qiuya feel what love and pampering are.
Doubts surged in Li Qiuya's mind. His Highness, the Crown Prince, had been hiding for many years. He must have remembered how she treated him. Why was he still willing to respect her as the Crown Princess and serve her?
While he was tossing and turning, suddenly, a bright pearl and a voice seemed to come from outside the house, and his heart skipped a beat.
Your Highness is here.
These days, His Highness is busy with things. He has not come to let her sleep for several nights, nor has he summoned a beautiful lady to sleep with him. He sleeps in the side hall of Xi Zheng Palace and does not know what he is busy with.
Mingzhu was about to fall asleep, but when she saw the lights at the entrance of the courtyard, she knew that the Crown Prince was coming, and she quickly bowed and said, "I'm here to pay my respects to Your Highness."
"Qiu Ya is asleep now?" Xiao Yi nodded and asked warmly.
Mingzhu replied truthfully: "The Crown Princess has just finished taking a bath and is going to bed now."
Xiao Yi glanced at the small group of light that was faintly revealed inside, and said, "Then let Qiu Ya have a good rest. I'll come back tomorrow."
In the past few days, he had been so busy dealing with the bandits in Taiping Town, appeasing the people of the capital, preparing for the construction of the East Factory, and re-opening the morning court, that he had no time to think about his children's personal affairs.
Fortunately, things are almost settled now, and the matter of reopening the morning court can also be settled.
Then I thought about coming to the backyard and relaxing.
With that said, he was about to leave, but at this moment, a cough was heard in the room, and then the sound of Li Qiuya's water moistening the broken jade, "Mingzhu, I'm thirsty, please pour me a cup of tea."
The voice is a bit soft, but if you listen carefully, you can still catch some expressions of trembling emotions.
Xiao Yi's expression paused, and he felt a little weird.
thirsty?
I don’t know if it’s because I’m thirsty or because my heart is thirsty.
I haven't been to the backyard for several days, although we had dinner together several times during the day, met each other, and chatted a few times.
However, he was entangled in many things and was unable to do anything else. After all, his wealth and life were the most important thing.
How can you delay your own important events just because of mere beauty!
"Empress, Your Highness is here." Mingzhu responded quickly.
A rustling sound came from inside, and then came Li Qiuya's crisp voice, "I respectfully welcome Your Highness."
Xiao Yi followed Mingzhu through the curtain and entered the inner room. At this moment, because the owner of the room had gone to sleep, only one of the four bright lights was left, so the light was slightly dim.
Li Qiuya had put on her outer clothes, stretched out her delicate jade hands to hang one side of the curtain with a gold hook, put on her little flower shoes, and bowed again to salute.
I didn't know what happened just now, but when I heard that he was about to leave, he suddenly called Mingzhu out of nowhere.
It was just for him to hear, as if he wanted to come over and have a look.
Xiao Yi stepped forward and took Li Qiuya's hand, sat down on the bed, gently pulled Li Qiuya into his arms, and whispered: "Do you want to be alone?"
Hearing this, Li Qiuya's heart skipped a beat, her face turned red, she placed her head on Xiao Yi's heart, and muttered: "Think about it...Think about it."
Why don’t you want to!
After all, she still hopes that she can be the mother of the world, and that she can survive such a battle and become a queen.
From a young age, she has always believed in one truth, that is, you must fight for what you want.
No matter what method is used, as long as it can be obtained, it is success.
Li Linfu ruined many families and still has not received the retribution he deserves. On the contrary, he has many children and grandchildren.
seven sons and eight daughters.
Several grandchildren.
Li Qiuya grew up in the Li Mansion. As one of the eight daughters, she did not receive much favor from Li Linfu.
Li Linfu was not a good father. He had fifteen children, not to mention his daughters, and even his sons were not favored by him.
So Li Qiuya learned to fight for herself since she was a child.
The day Xiao Yi took possession of her, he was full of hatred, but later he discovered that His Highness the Crown Prince was wise, courageous and decisive, with a majestic appearance, and suppressed Xiao Ce once and for all in the political hall.
Looking at it this way, Xiao Ce didn't even deserve to carry his shoes.
In addition, Xiao Yi was very kind to her. Not only did he not mind being dirty, but he also did not hold grudges. He also promised to canonize her as queen in the future.
Li Qiuya's heart has begun to turn toward Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi looked down at the plump, pink face and whispered: "Where are you thinking?"
While asking, he moved his hands.
First, he put it on his heart and asked: "Is it here?"
Another hand reached down and asked: "Or here?"
Li Qiuya felt a little ashamed and said angrily: "Don't... don't ask."
Xiao Yi looked at the shy Li Qiuya and paused slightly.
What a twenty-eight-year-old woman with a body as soft as a stick and a sword at her waist to cut down the common people!
Li Qiuya wanted to ask His Highness the Prince to take a rest, but she saw the shadow approaching, and the soft and willful breath hit her face. Her pink lips softened, and then she snorted softly from the wings of her nose.
He took the initiative to gently put his hands around Xiao Yi's shoulders to facilitate his work.
After a while, when Li Qiuya's delicate body was limp and nestled in Xiao Yi's arms, she suddenly felt that her butterfly plate was unbuttoned, and her heart was startled. She opened her closed beautiful eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I am concubine. body……"
"In the past few days, Gu has been busy with important things and has no time to come to the backyard. I neglected you, so I will ask Gu to take care of you and make amends." Xiao Yi whispered in Li Qiuya's ear.
If you want a horse to run, you must feed it.
The process of conquering the princess can be longer, and love will last for a long time. The great writer once said that the best way to a woman's heart is that.
Xiao Yi actually felt that Li Qiuya seemed to be leaning towards him now.
In the past, I often went to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. In fact, I took this opportunity to pass the news about the East Palace to Li Linfu.
But now, I rarely go there.
On the contrary, he sent some news to him and reminded him to be careful about certain people.
Xiao Yi was naturally happy.
Serve a beauty, and the rewards you get will be double!
More than an hour passed.
The two of them were sweating profusely.
Mingzhu had already prepared bath water.
It's summer.
After exercising a lot, if you don't take a shower, your body will be sticky and you won't be able to sleep well.
After washing up a little, the two lay on the bed again.
Li Qiuya lay on Xiao Yi's body and asked softly: "Your Highness, I have heard that you intend to resume the morning court?"
Xiao Yi hugged Li Qiuya's shoulders and said warmly: "Yes, if we don't reopen the morning court, I can only review the memorials in the East Palace. I can't listen to the officials directly because they can't discuss the Imperial Advisor and the Political Affairs Hall together. He will always control the state affairs."
"Reopening the early dynasty is the first step to gain political power. Gu also needs to slowly weaken the power of the prime minister, thereby centralizing the imperial power and stabilizing the power to supervise the country."
"Wait until the ministers in the court have exchanged a batch of blood, and then wait until Gu Zhen sits in the court."
"The so-called internal and external troubles are nothing to worry about."
"In name, Gu is the crown prince of Da Qian, but in fact he is no different from the emperor of Da Qian."
"At that time, my father can retreat to the Tai Chi Palace to maintain his health, and be respected as the Supreme Emperor, and I will ascend the throne as the emperor."
"Daqian also has the system of two saints coming to court."
When Li Qiuya heard this, she felt happy and said with a cheerful face: "Congratulations, Your Highness, for re-opening the morning court."
As he spoke, he buried his head in Xiao Yi's heart.
If His Highness the Prince has himself in his heart and always loves him, it is not impossible to entrust him directly with him in this life.
"Restarting the early dynasty is just a move. In this chess game, Gu is still at a disadvantage."
"However, I have confidence."
Xiao Yi gently stroked Li Qiuya's smooth white back and said softly: "It's late at night, let's rest."
The next day, the sky was bright and clear, and it was another sunny day.
After reviewing the memorial, after reading the list of the first batch of Dongchang non-staff personnel recruited by Sanbao eunuchs, there were only three people, as well as the task of capturing the capital thief Cao Shangfei, and ordered a few more tasks.
After that, there was a secret message from Di Yan, indicating that the general trend was to reopen early, but Li Linfu seemed to have done nothing.
Until noon.
Xiao Yi went to Ganlu Hall again.
Xiao Di looks much better and is now leaning on the bed, eating bird's nest and red date porridge made by Concubine Li herself.
Xiao Yi was seen walking in.
Xiao Di showed a slight smile and praised: "I heard that the rebel Li Hongji in Qinzhou was killed by Yue Hongling. The biggest rebel in Longyou Road was put down. He did a good job."
Xiao Yi first bowed and saluted, and then said: "Father, this is also the responsibility of the son and minister."
He also reported on the situation on Longyou Road, and talked about the progress of the work-for-relief program, as well as the natural disaster countermeasures to deal with drought and floods in the later period.
Xiao Di listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
After Xiao Di finished eating the porridge, Xiao Yi looked at Concubine Li, as if she had some secret words that she wanted to talk to alone.
Concubine Li packed it up very wisely, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I will leave this concubine."
Xiao Di raised his right hand and waved.
Only after Concubine Li Gui left did Xiao Yi talk about resuming the morning court.
Xiao Di thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Since you are allowed to supervise the country, you are supposed to govern the world on my behalf. How can you not participate in political discussions?"
After saying that, he signaled to the Three Treasures eunuch and said, "Bring the jade seal and give it to His Royal Highness."
