At noon on the first day of December, Wan Yanliang sat alone on the long tea table under the green curtain, quietly sipping tea, and then looked from the direction of the small altar door to the two young ladies in the courtyard happily playing in the snow. battle.
Since he brought back his wife and children from Zhongjing a few days ago, this empty house has become extremely lively, and his heart has become warm.
I just looked at the lady Xiao Ning. She was pretty and cute. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She liked freedom by nature and didn't want to wear wide sleeves and Chinese clothes. She loved the Jurchen Hu clothes the most. She could come and go at will. Easy to move around.
She wore a narrow-sleeved cotton coat with warm fur collars on the collar and between the sleeves. The lower skirt was an ankle-length crimson velvet skirt. There were four layers of bells and beads tied around her waist. Her feet looked like a man's. When she was wearing long boots and having a snowball fight, compared to Lady Yeqi who was opposite and wearing wide sleeves, she ran fast and was very agile.
She looked back. Wan Yanliang walked to the railing and held a cup of tea, then trotted onto the corridor. She wrapped her arms neatly around his waist and raised her head affectionately and called, "Your Majesty! I want to drink too."
He smiled, picked up the tea in the cup and fed her himself.
She was like a child, blowing on the tea, drinking it twice, and then wiping the water on her lips with her sleeves.
"You drank, what will happen to Qingge?" He pointed at the other little lady.
"Wouldn't it be nice if you poured me another glass, Your Majesty!" She turned her head away playfully.
"Ahem, you drank the lonely king's tea and you still want the lonely king to pour it, go!"
"I'll just go!" She smiled again and took the tea cup away from his hand, then poured a cup of tea.
"Ms. Yeyi, please drink some tea too!" She smiled and handed the tea to Yeyi Qingge who was walking over.
"Thank you, sister! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qing Ge was relatively quiet in comparison. He took the tea and thanked her again and again.
Wan Yanliang looked at Xiao Ning's hanging braid, tugged on it and said, "Look at Qing Ge, how well-educated and sensible you are, how old you are and you still act like a baby in front of the lonely king every day."
"I've loved to act like a spoiled child since I was little. When I was a child, I acted like a spoiled child to my brother. Now that I'm older and married, I can't act like a spoiled child, so I can only act like a spoiled child towards the king!" She smiled and hugged him with her white teeth exposed.
"You've been living in your brother's mansion for nearly two months, haven't you had enough?"
"I don't dare to lie to my brother, for fear that my wife will say that I am not decent!"
He looked at her dotingly, then walked over and took away the tea cup from Madam Ye's hand and said: "Okay, if you still want to play, then go ahead and have fun! Later, the lonely king will meet with two guests. Just have your fun!"
"Okay!" Xiao Ning stepped forward, kissed him on the face, and ran into the courtyard jumping up and down.
Wan Yanliang touched the kiss and suddenly laughed and said, "It's really inappropriate!"
After a while, two people in tight clothes walked along the corridor and were introduced by the waiting people.
The two of them looked at it and turned their heads again.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the two people walking in, and Xiao Ning whispered into her ear: "Qingge, do you know what these two people do?"
"Huh?" Qing Ge turned around.
"I heard from my brother that the king has a secret relationship with the eunuch Da Xingguo who serves the emperor!"
She pulled her in again and lowered her voice: "I once went to the palace to pay homage to His Majesty and saw Na Da Xingguo. I am sure that there must be Da Xingguo among these two people."
"Why are the king and his ministers so close together?"
"Ahem, the king is going to be the emperor!"
The snowballs in the young singer's heart rolled down, and he looked at her in astonishment and said, "Be the emperor!"
"yes!"
"Now that the Holy One has killed the Queen and buried her in Heungdeok Palace without allowing anyone to visit her, he also intends to let Princess Xun take over the throne of the Queen. He also kills the ministers who oppose this matter. The people in the court are panicking. The King must have something. action!"
Qing Ge was silent for a long time, then picked up the snowball and rolled it in his hand, looking at the red plum blossoms falling in the wind in trance, then turned his head and glanced at the door.
"Your Majesty, no... you will kill the king and proclaim yourself emperor!"
"My sister is too naive. If she doesn't kill the emperor, she dares to keep him until she can wait.
Looking forward to revenge in the future! "
After hearing this, Qing Ge stood up in a hurry, looked at the plum blossoms falling in the wind, and said in a concentrated voice: "Sister, it's a little cold outside, so I went back to my pavilion first!"
Xiao Ning replied calmly: "What's the matter? I see you don't look well? Don't be afraid. The king has become the emperor, and our wives can become the emperor's concubines. What a good thing."
She casually said with a smile on her face: "Yeah, yeah, I'm not afraid, I'm just really blown away by the cold wind!"
"Okay, then you can go! I'll be back later!"
Qing Ge paused, quickly gathered his cloak and stepped onto the corridor to walk away, leaving Xiao Ning standing there with a confused look on his face.
The hall was deserted and quiet, with tables, chairs, tables and couches everywhere. Beside the long tea table, it was Da Xingguo, a close servant of the emperor, and the servants of the general and bodyguard who were sitting around, holding a cup of fragrant hot tea in their hands, savoring its sweet and astringent taste.
The general of the bodyguard was tall and tall, with a face as square as a field and a shapely jaw. Two black eyes hung high on his bronze skin, and the corners of his mouth were straight. He looked like a resolute man.
He first poured out the cup, bowed his hands, and said with sonorous force: "Your Majesty, since you have the intention to become a master, I, my servant, will follow you to the death!"
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I am serving as a general of the bodyguard in the palace. I have seen His Majesty's drunkenness and immorality. He often drinks too much and goes crazy while drinking. He kills people around him with his sword. Several capable bodyguard captains under Weichen, They were all killed by him wantonly!"
"Other people are trivial, but the empress has been virtuous and intelligent for more than ten years, but she has also been brutally murdered by him. It is a pity. I only remember that her father was shot to death by the rebels' arrows while trying to save the emperor. But now ...It’s all love in vain!”
He was sitting upright, the tea he was holding on his right hand spilled out, his brows were furrowed, his eyes turned reddish, he looked sideways and caressed his chest, these words were indeed sincere.
"Although the empress is involved in politics, she treats her servants well, takes good care of the princes and princesses, and even harmonizes the concubines. She enjoys a good relationship with everyone in the harem. We all see it," Da Xingguo sighed, and shook his head gently.
"Don't sigh. Just keep some things in mind and keep them in mind. I gathered you two today to discuss something." He suppressed his deep voice and swung his legs wide. , there is an aura of a king that shocks the world in his posture.
"Sir, please speak!"
Just looking at him, there was a trace of bohemian smile on his evil yet handsome face, he picked up the cup and stood up, turned around with his eyes closed and asked: "General Pusan, do you know when you will be on duty in the palace?"
"It's the fifth day of the Winter Solstice this month," Hutu replied.
"Where is your lord?" he asked again.
Da Xingguo hurriedly bowed in front of him: "Oh, the king has punished the humble minister, how dare I say a word of respect from the king. The humble minister is on duty every two days!"
Wan Yanliang curled her lips and turned around with a smile: "I'll just choose the night when you two are both on duty, and let's do it!"
"Did you hear me, the lonely king? Whenever you are on duty at night in Xingguo, in order to facilitate your entry into the palace to serve the emperor, you will take the long key of the palace door home from the person in charge. Is this common among the servants?"
Da Xingguo hesitated and said, "How does the king know?"
"Of course it was Gu Wang's people who found it."
"Damn, the king is still smart!"
Wan Yanliang laughed and nodded: "You naughty bitch!"
Da Xingguo lowered his voice, raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that you know it, why don't you wait until the night of the winter solstice, and the ministers will use the long key to open the palace door, lead you in, and send the generals to the front of Fu'an Hall to meet the king? How about that?" "
Wan Yanliang took a sip of tea, looked at him with evil eyes and said: "This is what I have in mind, the lonely king. I want to choose the night of the winter solstice to form a sect with Shan Zhen, Bing De, Tang Kuobian and Wu Dai. , Tu Shanzhen, and Old Monk Li are waiting outside the gates of each palace. When you open the door, they will go straight to Fu'an Hall."
He patted Pusan Hutu heavily on the shoulder again and said: "General Pusan, please send a team of close guards to cover us and ensure that there are no obstacles on the way from the palace gate to Fu'an Palace."
Pu San suddenly bowed his head and said: "I honor your order!"
He thought for a moment and then said slowly: "But the emperor... always keeps a knife under his pillow, and a long sword under his bed..."
Da Xingguo said with a smile: "The general won't have to worry about it. The humble minister will take the sword away on his own."
The three of them quickly reached a consensus and drank tea comfortably, then took a few tea cakes into their mouths and chatted about the affairs in the palace. It was very lively.
Da Xingguo tilted his head and looked outside the golden gate. Xiao Ning stood up and left with a little jump. There was a blush on his face. He held the tea cup in his hand and said: "This is the lady Xiao, Lord Xiao Yu's little boy." Girl?"
"What's going on?" Wan Yanliang smiled with her eyebrows pressed down.
"Oh, no, I don't dare to have any wrong thoughts. I just feel that everyone in the king's palace is a beauty. Just look at Madam Xiao, she has an almond-shaped face and peach cheeks, small and exquisite eyebrows, and a petite figure. Keren, she doesn’t look like the king’s wife, but she looks like the king’s sister!”
Wan Yanliang raised the corner of her mouth, then put her hands away and said, "Well, King Gu really treats her as his sister. When she was in her boudoir, whenever King Gu and Xiao Yu were playing together, she would follow him. , he kept shouting "Brother Yuan Gong", which made the lonely king's heart tremble and made Xiao Yu's ears hurt. Just marry her."
"Hahaha, the king is handsome and charming. Most men avoid him out of jealousy, but my daughter's family loves men like the king the most!" Pusan Hutu said with a smile.
After hearing this, Wan Yanliang felt a little arrogant. She leaned back, looked at the hanging curtains, plucked the pendants between her ears, and smiled wildly: "There are only four concubines in the mansion now. If the lonely king Ruo When I become a king one day, I will make three ambitions."
——"I am responsible for all major affairs of the country, one thing; commanding an army to attack a distant place, holding the leader of the emperor and asking those who have done it before him, two things; no matter whether we are close or distant, having the most beautiful wife in the world, that is the third thing."
"How can you appreciate the beauties in the palace? There are naturally three thousand beauties serving you, especially those from Wanyan Wulu. The lonely king is waiting to settle the score!" He suddenly condensed his smile and touched the hair on his waist. That sachet.
The two of them knew what he was talking about and what he was secretly referring to.
Then he put his hands in front of him and bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty! I know this."
