Ye Nong raised the fragrant tea beside the table, and then said to Madam Warring States: "Madam Warring States, this is the fragrant tea that was just sent to the palace this year. It is a rare thing sent from Sarao overseas all the way. I heard that I drank it. It can soothe the mind and nourish the skin! Try it!"
Mrs. Warring States smiled with red lips, lowered her eyes and drank tea. The fragrant tea did have an addictive taste, and the fragrance could only be seen rolling on the lips and teeth, making people want to lick the corners of their mouths and taste every drop.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "It is indeed a good tea, fragrant but not overpowering. After drinking it, your lips and teeth will feel soft and your whole body will feel comfortable!"
Ye Nong smiled slightly, put down the tea cup in her hand and said: "Mrs. Warring States has the business channels of various countries. This so-called fragrant tea must not be a rare thing to you, but only to me, a queen in this deep palace." It’s just a rarity. Sometimes I really envy you for being able to wander around the business world and the government and the public, living a lively and carefree life!”
"Hahaha! Your Majesty is the queen of a country, how can she act as wantonly as Wuying?"
Yenong said: "Mrs. Warring States, when I invite you to the palace this time, I will speak directly. We are both women, and there is no need to beat around the bush."
Mrs. Warring States nodded slightly. She had long known that the Queen's purpose in calling her into the palace was not simple, and she was mentally prepared.
Ye Nong said: "Since the death of Marquis Xuanlu, Madam of the Warring States Period, you have rarely been in and out of the Zhuilan Palace. I'm afraid you are not very clear about the affairs in the palace. In the past two years, Your Majesty has been deceived by the eunuchs and indulged in the beauty of beauties. During this time, he has done many things that made the courtiers question him, and now His Majesty is becoming more and more indulgent. He is afraid that sooner or later he will get angry and eventually bring misfortune to the country of Zhuilan."
Mrs. Warring States frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty has been obsessed with the beauty of beauties in recent years? The person the Empress is referring to is..."
Ye Nong nodded and said, "Yes, it's the Eunuch Lin Xie you saw at the banquet today, madam!"
Mrs. Warring States felt incredible and couldn't help but wave her sleeves and laugh: "Hahaha! Queen, you mean... Your Majesty... Your Majesty is having an affair with that Eunuch Lin? Hahaha! Hahaha!"
Ye Nong's face was still serious and he nodded.
Mrs. Warring States couldn't help but think to herself, no wonder there are rumors that His Majesty's Sacred Heart is different. She didn't expect that since Lan Lin prefers men to women, no, it should be said that he prefers people who are neither men nor women.
Hahaha! No wonder he was indifferent to all kinds of seductions from him back then, but it turned out to be like this!
Mrs. Warring States finally solved the doubts that had troubled her for many years. It was really hard for the empress who stayed in the palace so hard!
She couldn't help but lift up the fragrant tea next to the table and took a sip, and then said: "Since this matter came from the Queen's mouth, Wuying had to believe it. Alas, then again, a beauty like Lin Xie, Even I was tempted when I saw him, so no wonder His Majesty is tempted! Since Your Majesty likes such a person, what do you want the Queen to do?"
Queen Ye Nong stood up and said: "When I married Lan Lin, it was not because of love, but because of family interests. At that time, I wanted to assist this king and guard the Zhui Lan Dynasty. Unfortunately, it was not me in the end. The palace wishes. I was wholeheartedly devoted to him, but what about him? He lost his mind in playing with things, and even wanted to kick me away as a stumbling block. After thinking about it, I can only make plans as soon as possible for the little prince. !」
Mrs. Warring States raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. This is true for the empress and your majesty. Since you no longer have common interests, you must part ways and make plans early. Since your majesty is ruthless to the empress, there is no need to stop. It’s strange that the empress has no intention of him, but in Wuying’s view, even if His Majesty betrays all relatives and leaves, he still holds the military power of the Zhui Lan Kingdom in his hands. If you want to overthrow him, I’m afraid it won’t be easy!”
Ye Nong nodded and said: "I already have the support of most of the courtiers. Now as long as Mrs. Warring States is willing to help me, I am willing to escort your future business empire. When the time comes, we will win-win and plan this world together. You how about?"
Wu Ying laughed, and then said: "Men are just playthings to Wu Ying. Only women can conspire with the world. Since the Queen Empress values Wu Ying, Wu Ying is also willing to make this deal. Everything depends on the Queen Empress' will. You How much financial resources are needed to smooth the government and the opposition? To put it bluntly, Wu Yingyi
will definitely support you. "
The carriage back to the city was swaying, and the Warring States lady was leaning on the carriage couch, with bursts of cigarette smoke coming from the heater in her hand, and she was thoughtful.
The maid who was beating her legs on the side pouted slightly and said, "Madam, madam! Why do you feel so restless after entering the palace? Are you still thinking about the father-in-law named Lin Xie?"
Mrs. Warring States smiled slightly, raised her fingers to gently lift the maid's chin, and lightly swiped the rouge on her lips with her thumb, and said with a smile: "Haha! What? Are you jealous?"
The maid said angrily: "It's disgusting. It's so embarrassing for someone to dress up like this and accompany you into the palace, but you think about other men! No, he's not a man at all, he's a eunuch! How can I be with him!"
After saying this, the maid stood up and turned her back to Mrs. Warring States, with a look on her face that she was angry and could not be coaxed.
This maid is really tall, with broad shoulders, her voice is a little rough, her waist is straighter, and her chest is flat.
It turns out that she is not a woman, but the male favorite of the Warring States Lady in disguise.
Mrs. Warring States sneered and scratched his waist, while he couldn't help but smile and turned around. Mrs. Warring States held his belt with one hand and said softly: "I watched those dancers dance on the stage today. No one can dance as gracefully as you, how can the people in the palace compare with you?"
The male favorite smiled proudly, and let Mrs. Warring States tug on his belt. Then she swayed her waist and danced charmingly. Her slender fingers slowly ran down the trembling skirt of his clothes, like a swimming dragon. Walk the snake.
The movements were silky and seductive, and then he slowly moved his palm upwards, slightly raising his slender neck, hovering above the Adam's apple, squinting his eyes and looking sideways at Mrs. Warring States, with a bit of intoxication in his black eyes. A bit provocative.
The night is as cool as water, and snowflakes are falling into the cold forest.
After drinking some wine at the winter banquet, Qingyi suddenly became interested and asked Hua Jue to accompany her for a walk in the Royal Garden.
Even in winter, many flowers were still blooming in the imperial garden. They stood in the pavilion, admiring the white snowflakes and pink cherry blossoms outside, as well as the various flowers in the garden.
Qingyi wears a purple cloak, her white face is turned pink by the cold, and her long eyelashes are hung with a thin layer of white frost, which makes her look even more fairy-like.
Hua Jue used a small stove to make tea for her. He made a cup of sobering tea and carefully handed it to her. She held it in her hand, warming her palms and lowering her head to take a few sips.
I saw a group of people walking outside the Moon Gate at the end of the imperial garden. The leader was Lin Xie, who was wearing blue clothes and blue robes. Behind him were a group of eunuchs in black palace uniforms. Snowflakes fell on Lin Xie's black cloak, and his eyes But he looked at Qingyi on the pavilion.
Qingyi's eyes were also facing each other, looking at each other from a distance. The two of them seemed to have a clear understanding of each other and slowly approached each other.
Qingyi said to Hua Jue, "It's almost done, Hua Jue, let's go back."
Hua Jue didn't realize that her master stayed here to wait for Lin Xie. The Royal Garden was the only way to Yuqian Palace, and Qingyi knew that she could meet Lin Xie here.
The two faced each other, and Lin Xie led a group of eunuchs to salute Qingyi.
"I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty Qingyi. It's a cold night, why are you still staying in this imperial garden?" Lin Xie asked knowingly, and raised his bent body slightly. The moment he raised his eyes, a wave of light flashed across Qingyi's eyes. Pink face.
Qingyi said: "I just had a few too many drinks at the winter banquet in the palace, so I came here to walk around the imperial garden to get rid of the alcohol. But Eunuch Lin is really a busy man, and he is still walking around in the palace so late. !」
Lin Xie said: "As the eunuch in charge, everything is my responsibility. Besides, His Majesty will leave for the hot spring villa to recuperate in two days. I have to take care of everything in advance to ensure that Your Majesty has a great time during this trip. Okay! Otherwise, it will be a failure of the slave."
Qingyi frowned slightly, looked at Lin Xie and said, "Eunuch Lin, you said His Majesty is going to the Hot Spring Villa in a few days?"
"Yes."
"Your Majesty, can you indicate which concubine you want to take?"
"No, Your Majesty is here to cultivate his body and mind and has no intention of bringing a concubine with him.
The concubine goes to bed. "
Hearing what Lin Xie said, Qingyi couldn't help but feel worried. She raised her eyes and met Lin Xie's eyes. There was a trace of sadness in their eyes in the silent wind and snow.
Qingyi also knew that Lin Xie could not help himself, but some rumors became more and more sinister and she began to have doubts, but she still did not have the courage to ask Lin Xie directly.
Lin Xie seemed to see the sad look on her face, and was afraid that if the stalemate continued, it would arouse suspicion.
In the heavily guarded Zhuilan Palace, a pair of lovers can only try their best to find opportunities to have a brief encounter with each other, but they are unable to express their feelings and can only look at each other from a distance and speculate about each other.
Lin Xie said: "Ms. Qingyi, the night is cold and the snow is slipping. I will send someone to take you back!"
Lin Xie's words seemed to be a slave's concern for his master, and did not make anyone feel that he was overstepping his bounds.
However, Qingyi didn't want outsiders to know that the two had a close relationship, so she deliberately established a hostile relationship, which would also make it easier for them to stay together in the future.
She said with a jealous tone: "Don't bother Eunuch Lin. Eunuch Lin has been working day and night for Your Majesty. Thank you for your hard work!"
Her words were either true or false, and they did contain a hint of anger towards Lin Xie.
After saying that, he took Hua Jue and left straight away. Lin Xie could only look at the beauty's retreating back and felt melancholy in his heart. He knew that Qingyi was blaming himself in his heart. But when he entered the Zhui Lan Palace, what could he do? What can you control?
