"Are you ready?"
A male voice sounded outside, and Yun Si hurriedly pulled up her clothes: "Okay!"
The sound of the wheel slowly approached, and a thin blush appeared on Yun Si's face: "Master Jiu, didn't you go out?"
"You didn't say you had started to change clothes." Huo Shenzhi's eyes were bright and aboveboard, and he looked closely at the hem of her clothes.
There was a warm yellow light shining in from outside the corridor, and he hooked his hand towards Yun Si.
The dim and dim boudoir was filled with a faint fragrance.
Yun Si obediently moved two steps towards Huo Shenzhi.
"It's too far, come closer."
The hazy light and the lavender color of her body made her skin breakable, sweet and gentle.
Huo Shenzhi knew that she was nervous about being alone with him. Her chest was still rising and falling, and her fine white collarbones were stained with beautiful cherry pink.
Yun Si felt like her heart was about to break through her skin, but she didn't move at all. She even wanted to hide and escape...
"Being by my side for so many days has made you more courageous."
Huo Shenzhi's eyes were filled with knowledge, and he rested his hands on the armrests. The shadow on the ground was lengthening little by little, covering Yun Si's petite body.
Yun Si's pupils suddenly dilated, and she raised her head little by little following the man in front of her -
"You...you...your leg is healed?!"
The man's handsome face was calm, his eyes were thick and bone-burning, and his voice was low and seductive: "Am I indulging you too much?"
The tall body pushed Yun Si back little by little.
It wasn't until her back hit the wall that she panicked and said, "I just think these things are too expensive!"
Seeing her panic, Huo Shenzhi pressed her against the wall: "So, you are still obedient?"
Yun Si stretched out her hand in panic, put it against Huo Shenzhi's heart, and subconsciously pushed him out: "Nine Masters..."
His slender fingers gently pulled on the belt of Yun Si's clothes, and Yun Si's robe spread out. She didn't dare to scream, so she could only move more violently.
Huo Shenzhi glanced over the hand that kept pushing on his chest, and the skirt of his clothes was messed up by her. She was obviously resisting, but it was like teasing, making him breathe a little heavier.
"I'm sorting your clothes, but you want to take off my clothes?"
He raised his hand to grasp the hand on his chest, and his low voice was like an ambiguous whisper.
Yun Si's legs felt a little weak. She lowered her eyes and saw Master Jiu pulling up her clothes.
On a spring-like day all year round, she wore thin clothes.
Yun Si only felt a pair of sharp-jointed hands on her waist. She didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. The touch seemed to be absent, making her body feel hot.
"Are you nervous about dressing, or are you not good at it? Relax, I will teach you slowly."
The tall body leaned down, breathing against her lips. This made Yun Si's body completely soften, and she leaned against the wall and slid down slightly.
Master Jiu is so terrible, she...she...
Tying a knot with his slender fingers, he raised his eyebrows and clasped one hand on her waist to prevent her from sliding further down.
Yun Si bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes wet: "Nine..."
"Useless little thing." Huo Shenzhi raised his hand, lifted the hair from her chest, and looked at her trembling appearance.
He had tasted her taste a year ago, and it was so soft and tender that he could still remember her.
The raised Adam's apple rolled slightly.
"You look like this. It's not very convincing to say that you refuse my marriage contract."
If he doesn't let her go, she won't be able to escape.
"Tomorrow will be dangerous, follow me carefully."
Yun Si's eyelashes trembled slightly and she nodded slightly.
Huo Shenzhi stopped teasing her or having any contact with her. He was the one who felt uncomfortable, so why bother.
-
At dusk the next day, the palace was shrouded in majesty and solemnity.
Yun Si, dressed inconspicuously, sat in another carriage and followed Master Jiu into the palace.
As soon as she got off the carriage at the palace gate, Yun Si felt that many people's eyes seemed to be fixed on her. She could even hear faint teasing laughter.
She turned a deaf ear and looked at the bright hall lights in the distance in the dusk, blooming with a startling beauty.
In the Shuiqinghua Banquet Hall, there is a carpet woven with gold threads. On the top pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, exquisite palace lanterns are painted, red silk is hung on them, furnace tripods are placed around them, and light smoke curls around them.
The whole hall was filled with a warm and joyful mood, and laughter of all sizes was drowned in the sound of silk and bamboo.
On the dragon chair, Emperor Wu Zong smiled slightly, half-squinted his eyes, and seemed to be in a good mood. He was still holding Empress Zhou's hand, not knowing what he was talking about.
The rest of the concubines were sitting at the bottom, watching the singing and dancing in a polite manner.
Passing through the crowd, Li Yu saw Yun Si standing next to Huo Shenzhi at a glance.
She is dressed simply and inconspicuously, but if you look closely, you will easily be reminded of the bright and unattainable moon in the sky.
As long as the rumor issue is resolved, he can make next arrangements with peace of mind.
"I can't believe that something that is not worthy of publicity has caused such a fuss, but it actually has the nerve to come?"
"I am following Master Jiu now, but she is so majestic. The one who is embarrassed now is Concubine Shu, oh, she has been deposed. You see, neither the King of Chu nor the third princess are here."
The positions of Huo Linye and the third princess were indeed empty.
"I am very happy to see all the ladies gathered together today."
So many things happened, but it didn't seem to affect Emperor Wu Zong's mood at all.
Yun Si stood aside and watched, silent.
Li Yu stood up and said, "On His Majesty's birthday, I, the Lord of Beiliang Kingdom, have specially asked my foreign ministers to bring a mascot to congratulate Your Majesty on your future."
As he said that, everyone's eyes focused on Li Yu.
I saw him clapping his hands.
The messenger entered the temple holding a cage covered with red cloth.
"This is?"
Today, there was something unusual in Emperor Wu Zong's eyebrows.
Li Yu clapped his hands.
The messenger pulled down the curtain, and a very beautiful crane appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Red-crowned cranes are not unusual.
But the one in front of me has a long beak, a cinnabar-colored top, and a completely snow-white coat. It is not as black as the red-crowned crane is accustomed to. It is rare in the world!
Yun Si narrowed her eyes and thought to herself: This Li Yu is really good at it.
Empress Zhou smiled lightly and said: "This crane is unique, and in Beiliang, it is called the incarnation of the gods. It has a noble temperament, and it is so good today. Its appearance on such a good day seems to mean that your majesty is protected by the gods."
Who doesn’t like to hear auspicious words on birthdays?
Queen Zhou's remarks attracted the support of many people.
"What a good omen, what a god protecting me. Take it down and take good care of it."
Emperor Wu Zong smiled and picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
Only then did Eunuch Desheng take over the cage. The crane, which was still full of life, suddenly had its neck crooked!
"ah!"
Eunuch Desheng's face suddenly turned pale: "Your Majesty, is this crane dead?"
In an instant, all civil and military officials in the court became quiet.
——The "god" who protected Emperor Wu Zong is dead?
Yun Si's eyes suddenly darkened.
The game against her begins!
