Concubine hates each other
Chapter 5
.
This feeling is actually very subtle.
But Wang Lingyi didn't care about it, so she stepped up the steps of Xie Baolin's study.The study door was still unlocked, and it opened with a light push.
The library is as tidy as ever.There was still a book on the square table, and it seemed that he hadn't finished it.She turned and closed the door.
It's strange to say that because Wang Lingyi always liked stronger fragrances, it was difficult for her to detect light fragrances.But this is not the case in Xie Baolin's study now.No incense was burned in Xie Baolin's study room, but Wang Lingyi could smell the faint fragrance in the air.
Maybe it was because Xie Baolin had been sitting in the study for a long time, or maybe it was because Wang Lingyi was already sensitive to this fragrance.
Wang Lingyi couldn't help touching the book, and her fingertips slid across Xie Baolin's guqin again.When she stood in front of the desk, she spread out the rice paper, grinded the ink finely, and finally picked up a very thin wolf hair.
She started to write, her strokes were smooth, simple but very expressive, and she drew a picture of a beauty in a short time.
That's Xie Baolin.
It's not Xie Baolin who is dressed in a queen's palace attire, not the Xie Baolin who was full of talent when he wrote poems, but the one who appeared in her dreams, lying naked on the edge of the hot spring pool, looking back slightly Xie Baolin.

Wang Lingyi was quite satisfied with this impromptu work, the ink was drying slowly, Wang Lingyi was impatient, so he leaned close to the rice paper and blew gently.When she blew on Xie Baolin's shoulder in the painting, Wang Lingyi's heart beat wildly and he didn't dare to blow it again.
After the ink dried, Wang Lingyi pressed the drawing paper to the bottom of the stack of rice paper.
After washing Xie Baolin's pen, he returned the same way and left Fengyi Palace.
In the dead of night, Wang Lingyi couldn't fall asleep. She opened her eyes, thinking about Xie Baolin's mood when she saw the painting.
Would Xie Baolin feel...disrespected to her?
The more Wang Lingyi thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Why was she so reckless?Although it seems that the two of them have some feelings, doesn't this painting of hers show that she has evil thoughts in her heart?
But helplessly, although there is a small exit in the backyard of Fengyi Palace, there is no exit in Huayang Palace. Now it is midnight and the key has already been locked, so how can she get out?
The moon is as cool as water tonight, and the "Seven Streets" in the capital are as bustling as daytime.In the whole of Kyoto, only this street has no curfew, because it is a flower street.All the large and small Qin and Chu pavilions in the capital are gathered here, and the reputation spreads far and wide. Foreign businessmen have already come here to have a look.
However, a person walked into the lobby of Fanhua Building. This person was tall, with noble temperament and extraordinary appearance.Although she was wearing men's clothes, she could see the exquisite waistline.All eyes were on this man almost at once.
The bustard seldom receives guests in person, especially unfamiliar ones.When a person stepped into this building, the old bustard had weighed him several times in his heart.This person is different today, the bustard can tell at a glance that this is a woman, and a noble woman.
There are two reasons for a woman to come to Fanhualou, the first is to seek refuge in desperation, and the second is to arrest someone.But this girl is by no means the first type.Sure enough, as soon as the old bustard stepped forward, the woman threw a purse at her, and with her red lips slightly parted, she asked, "Where is Miss Wanzhuang, who is it now?"
The old bustard was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I can't disclose the name of the guest at will."
The woman said, "Have you ever seen how much is in the purse?"
No need to look, the bustard also knows that there is a lot of money, and even more that the woman must succeed today.
Immediately afterwards, the woman took down a soft whip from her waist, with a stern face, swung it in the air, and shouted: "Come out!"
The old bustard only felt that his ears were going to be deaf, and he was busy trying to appease him. At this time, the woman whipped him again, and said angrily, "Li Jinghuan, come out!"
Who is Li Jinghuan, who in the capital does not know, who does not know?That is the emperor's younger brother, and so is His Royal Highness King Qin today.In the past few years, he has been very messy, and he has done absurd things. In the past one or two years, he has been pestering Wang Guifei for a long time. It was not until Wang Guifei entered the palace that he was escorted to the southwest by Princess Mingde.
The ancestor is back.
Li Jinghuan was upstairs, so the aggressive person holding a whip must be Princess Mingde.
"Who is it?" Li Jinghuan's clothes were a little disheveled, his face was flushed, he leaned against the railing, looked down from upstairs, saw Mingde, and immediately smiled, "Sister."
"You are so happy." Mingde said in a deep voice.Clearly out of breath.
Li Jinghuan said: "Life is short, if you can't be happy, you might as well die clean."
"Come back with me!" Mingde gritted his teeth.
Li Jinghuan said: "Sister, this is not the place you should come to, sister, go back quickly."
The princess and the king of Qin came and went, everyone held their breath and did not dare to make other noises, and only listened intently to the quarrel between the two.
In another room, there was a person who listened more carefully.This person looks delicate, very elegant and clean, there is only a pot of tea and two plates of snacks in front of his table.But this tea, which he had held in his hand for a long time, was already cold.
"My lord, what do you want to hear next?" The woman asked warmly, taking her hands off the strings.
The man smiled: "I don't listen."
After that, he got up and walked out the door.
At this time, any other movement would be very eye-catching, so as soon as this young man left the room, everyone's eyes immediately turned to him.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Sun?" Li Jinghuan smiled casually, "Why don't you read your sage books at home and come here to have fun?"
Mingde took a quick look.
That Sun Jiaqi still looked very gentle, tall and thin, he seemed a little nervous, and said: "The King of Qin and His Highness the Princess are here, how dare I not come out?"
Mingde didn't want to look at him, so he put away his soft whip, and said directly to Li Jinghuan: "Go."
At this moment, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground near the Fanhua Building, followed by someone screaming, the sound was very clear at this moment.Mingde's face changed, and he immediately wanted to go out to check.Sun Jiaqi also immediately came downstairs and followed Ming De.
The voice came from Qinxianglou, the third house on the west side of Fanhualou.The daring crowd has surrounded the surroundings.Mingde went to the crowd, when a person stretched out his hand to push Mingde aside, a slender hand grabbed that person's wrist.
Mingde took a look, it was Sun Jiaqi.
Sun Jiaqi forced a smile at her, just like the expression of Mid-Autumn Festival when he was in the hunting ground, a little timid and a little awed.
Mingde ignored him, she finally saw the man who fell from upstairs.The man hit the ground on the back of his head, and the whole person lay flat on the ground, blood slowly flowed out from the back of his head, staining the ground.
Mingde looked down at the tragic death of this man, and suddenly covered his mouth, his stomach churned with nausea.
Li Jinghuan followed Sun Jiaqi, and originally asked: "What's going on?" But when he saw the man on the ground, Li Jinghuan immediately yelled, and the next moment he fell backwards and passed out.
Li Jinghuan was panicked when he woke up, his eyes were red: "Sister, let's go to the palace and explain clearly to Brother Huang!"
There is no other reason, the person who died was Mr. Shi.
Master Shi used to speak rudely to Mingde on the hunting ground, but now he died suddenly, who wouldn't think of King Qin and Mingde at the first time?
Let alone other people, even Wang Lingyi had some doubts in his heart after hearing about it, but the next moment, he would overthrow it by himself.Because according to the situation at the time, Mr. Master himself fell from the third floor while drunk, and there were many witnesses on the spot, so it is impossible for King Qin and Ming De to do it.
Besides, it was King Qin who went to Fanhualou first, and Master Shi went to Qinxianglou on a temporary basis, after King Qin.
This incident caused a big commotion, Li Jinghuan and Mingde stayed in the imperial study for more than an hour, but they still haven't come out.The Empress Dowager was anxious, and she couldn't go to the Imperial Study Room to urge her, so she had to come to Fengyi Palace.
Xie Baolin has never seen the Queen Mother lose her composure like this.When the Empress Dowager picked up the tea bowl, there was a slight knocking sound between the tea lid and the tea bowl. Although she did not speak, she pursed her lips tightly, looking very nervous.
"It's okay." Xie Baolin said softly.
The queen mother smiled unnaturally, holding the cup of warm tea in her hand, said: "Don't worry about Aijia."
But Mingde and King Qin were children brought up by the Queen Mother, and now that this kind of thing happened, the Queen Mother, who was always calm, couldn't help but feel aroused.
Xie Baolin could only choose words to comfort the Queen Mother.
But someone came in at the door and announced: "The empress dowager, the empress dowager, the fourth concubine please see me."
Seeing Xie Baolin looking at her, the Queen Mother waved directly: "This is your Fengyi Palace."
Xie Baolin just said: "Let them in."
Wang Lingyi walked in the front, his pace was a little faster, and there seemed to be some wind when he came in.The rest of the three concubines walked slowly, and the movements of crossing the threshold were very delicate.
Wang Lingyi didn't expect the Queen Mother to be there, so he was a little taken aback, and then immediately saluted the Queen Mother.Xie Baolin never looked at Wang Lingyi.
Wang Lingyi thanked Baolin because he probably didn't have the energy to care too much, so he sat quietly beside them and listened to what they had to say.
The third concubine was originally the emperor's little white flower, with a bright heart and understanding, knowing that the queen mother was in a bad mood, she didn't say much, and only said things that made the queen mother feel comfortable.
Xie Baolin couldn't be more clear in his heart, how could King Qin and Princess Mingde be guilty?They will have nothing.In this case, the empress dowager's worry was actually her concern about the emperor's attitude.
A few people sat together, and after a few words, there was nothing to say. The queen mother knew that it would be useless to continue sitting, so she got up and left.
And the third concubine originally planned to say a few more words about this matter, but before she could say anything, she saw that the queen didn't seem to be very kind, and she was a little scared, so she rushed away, leaving Wang Guifei, who had never liked the queen .
Wang Guifei, who was alone, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "All gone? Then I will go too."
"What are you going for?" Xie Baolin's expression relaxed, he sipped his tea slowly, and said slowly: "I don't know who brought the third concubine here."
Wang Lingyi's face was full of embarrassment, and he said, "Who is here? I was dragged here."
"I haven't seen you walking around my palace recently." Xie Baolin mentioned lightly.
It didn't matter if Wang Lingyi was exposed, but she immediately remembered the painting, and she didn't know whether Xie Baolin saw it or not.She is now in a very contradictory mood, wanting her to see it, but not wanting her to see it.
It doesn't matter to make jokes, but Wang Lingyi came today, apart from seeing Xie Baolin, he really came to inquire about Mingde.The emperor took care of this matter rather tightly, and Wang Lingyi was not so well informed, so he thought of coming over to ask.
"You said... Li Jingwen's matter shouldn't be serious?" Wang Lingyi asked.
Xie Baolin put down the teacup and said with a slight smile, "What? What do you want to know?"
Wang Lingyi looked at her calm expression, so he thought about it and replied: "There were not a few people who saw this incident at the time, and Li Jingwen and King Qin were only nearby, so there is no way to convict her. And pointing to such an obvious thing, Li Jingwen is sure Won't do it. Why isn't it over yet?"
The author has something to say: the second update is 3009 words, good night everyone.
☆, 233333333333333
"You know her pretty well." Xie Baolin said in a neutral tone.
Hearing this, Wang Lingyi brazenly moved a seat to Xie Baolin's side, about two steps away from her, then stretched his foot over, touched Xie Baolin's toes lightly, and said softly, "I have no other intentions."
Xie Baolin ignored her, and deliberately retracted his feet, saying: "Don't touch me."
Wang Lingyi still wanted to go over, walked up to Xie Baolin, looked at her from top to bottom, then stretched out his index finger like a onion root and gently poked Xie Baolin's shoulder: "Tell me about it."
"Why should I tell you about Li Jingwen?" Xie Baolin said half-truthfully.
"Because..." Wang Lingyi said two words, but did not continue.
Seeing her appearance, Xie Baolin couldn't help frowning, fearing that something would happen to Wang Lingyi again, he immediately said, "You want to run away again?"
Thinking back to the last time Wang Lingyi came here, she also felt that she was too timid to look down upon, so she felt a little guilty, and her arrogance also became low. She lowered her eyes: "You really care about her."
Xie Baolin has seen thick-skinned people before, but never seen such a reversal of black and white.She said angrily, "Wang Lingyi, is your brain as big as a walnut? Do I care about her?"
Wang Lingyi pouted: "I mean, you think I still care about Li Jingwen, so you seem to be very sensitive to Li Jingwen."
Xie Baolin thought that Wang Lingyi said something human, but still said: "You should be thin-skinned." But she caught Wang Lingyi's word "return", that is to say, she still cared about Li Jingwen before.
Thinking about it carefully, Mingde left Beijing at the end of spring last year, and Wang Lingyi entered the palace last summer. Thinking about what Wang Lingyi said before, "I want to come", could it be because Li Jingwen ran away?
Xie Baolin couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
Wang Lingyi groaned a few times, but said, "I haven't seen her since we returned."
This is quite comfortable to hear.Xie Baolin snorted, reluctantly accepting this explanation.
Wang Lingyi began to stare at the mole on Xie Baolin's forehead that was so small that it was almost invisible at ordinary times, and said, "I just wanted to say that because I am with you now, I will ask you clearly. Otherwise, it is also feasible for me to inquire in private. I admit that I had a relationship with Li Jingwen, and she brought up the separation. Turn a blind eye, are you sure you still like me? Do you like Wang Lingyi like that? If you like me like that, I don't like it. "
Xie Baolin lowered his head slightly, a smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and he stopped it immediately, and looked up at her, only to see Wang Lingyi's phoenix eyes slightly lowered, looking at him fixedly, as if he was hoping, but also as if he was coaxing others.For some reason, the originally charming appearance now reveals a stubborn and stupid look.Xie Baolin said: "Who said I like you?"
Wang Lingyi was stunned immediately, she thought about it, Xie Baolin did not say anything.That is to say, Xie Baolin didn't admit it, so...the kiss was meaningless.
"Ah." Wang Lingyi suddenly let out a low cry, then took a few steps back, bowed his head and said softly, "I misunderstood."
Seeing that she turned around and was about to leave, Xie Baolin asked, "Where are you going?"
Wang Lingyi paused.
Then she heard Xie Baolin's footsteps walking towards her, and the next moment she saw a handkerchief in front of her, which was handed over by Xie Baolin from her shoulder.The veil was still stained with the light fragrance of Xie Baolin's body, which smelled very nice.
Her eye sockets were hot.
She felt that Xie Baolin's actions at this moment seemed to hug her, because Xie Baolin was still behind her, but gently covered her face with a handkerchief, as if wiping her tears.
"You cry so much." Xie Baolin's voice came faintly from behind Wang Lingyi.
Wang Lingyi's face was still covered with a veil, so she couldn't see outside, so she pursed her lips and didn't speak.
Xie Baolin pressed the hand of the handkerchief and moved.
Wang Lingyi could tell that it was Xie Baolin who had walked around in front of him from behind, but the square handkerchief still hadn't been removed.
She was about to say that she was going to resign, but she suddenly found Xie Baolin approaching her.
A kiss was printed on her lips through the finely intertwined veil.
Almost a moment later, Xie Baolin moved away a little, and the two of them breathed face to face through the veil, and they came and went, disturbing the floating of the veil.
Xie Baolin said: "I said I like you.
"It's not appreciation, it's not kindness, it's not empress to concubine, but one woman to another woman. I think you should be able to understand."
At the end, Xie Baolin added: "I like you enough to show my kindness, right?"
"You go." Wang Lingyi squeezed out two words angrily.
Xie Baolin smiled: "So, when I take off the veil, you remember to smile at me, don't cry."
Following Xie Baolin's sudden release of the handkerchief, the handkerchief fluttered past the two of them and fell to the ground.
Xie Baolin saw the aura of this most special woman in the harem from drooping her eyes to looking up at her.Somehow, Xie Baolin seemed to be back when Wang Lingyi first entered the palace.
At that time, she stepped into the threshold of the main hall together with several others, and all the etiquette movements were standard, from entering the door to saluting, she didn't even lift her head.But when the emperor asked them to look up, Wang Lingyi raised his eyes with a warm smile, those phoenix eyes were really shockingly beautiful.Xie Baolin felt at that time that this person must be a scourge.
as predicted.
She remembered the emperor asking her: "What do Zitong think? Can the daughter of the Wang family stay?"
Xie Baolin, who had never liked to meddle in the emperor's private affairs, suddenly said, "That's right."
The emperor thought so, so Wang Lingyi entered the palace like this.
Xie Baolin thought, was it the intoxicatingly warm weather that day, or was she already tired of the sameness?But now, Xie Baolin can confirm that this scourge has been kept well.
At this moment, Xie Baolin had another illusion, as if Wang Lingyi's phoenix coronet, which she lifted up just now, was Fang Dahong's hijab.
Wang Lingyi winked like silk, and said with a smile, "I'm beautiful, right?"
Being so brazen, Xie Baolin suddenly regretted her charming thoughts just now, and she changed the topic deliberately: "I have a different opinion from you about what you asked just now."
Wang Lingyi could keep up with Xie Baolin's transformation: "I would like to hear more about it."
Xie Baolin gave her a look of "You can also use idioms, you are not bad", then she naturally pulled Wang Lingyi's wrist, led her back to the seat, and said as she walked, "You must know, King Qin has always been Protect Mingde. This time, in Fanhualou, the two had a dispute. Of course, there will always be disputes, but the timing is too good. And there is another person present, Sun Jiaqi."
"Sun Jiaqi?" Wang Lingyi was a little surprised this time, "Didn't he always read sage books, why did he go to Qitiao Street?"
Xie Baolin said: "This is the strange thing, maybe someone counted them, but I always feel that there is something wrong with dealing with King Qin and Mingde so blatantly."
Wang Lingyi said: "Li Jingwen is very cunning, she can avoid anything."
Although Xie Baolin couldn't bear it, but after thinking about this series of things, he still asked, "How did you separate?"
"This." Wang Lingyi didn't seem to care much, "It's because she thinks I'm pushing her too hard. I used to be very self-willed, so I probably can't stand it."
Xie Baolin said: "But King Qin asked you to propose marriage."
"I didn't know at the time that she was going to the southwest. She told King Qin to marry me before." Wang Lingyi lowered her eyes this time, "She said that if King Qin married me, we could be together, but why did she have to do this? I I didn’t understand it then, and I still don’t understand it that much.”
Xie Baolin was silent.
As Wang Lingyi said, Mingde is cunning, so why can't she achieve multiple things in one fell swoop?Qin Wang's marriage took the opportunity to settle down, even the relationship between Wang's aristocrats, and Mingde was able to stay with Wang Lingyi for a long time.
"Xie Baolin, I've told you everything you want to know." Wang Lingyi said, "I only let you know."
Xie Baolin nodded, stretched out his hand and patted the back of Wang Lingyi's hand, and said, "I'll let people keep an eye on Mingde's matter, and I'll let you know if there's any progress."
Wang Lingyi couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"By the way, you asked me to teach you calligraphy earlier, and I happen to be free today, so why not choose another day?" Xie Baolin suggested.
Wang Lingyi:! ! !
She hasn't forgotten the picture she made.What about that painting that makes people feel ashamed but can't help looking at it again and again?How can you steal the painting in front of Xie Baolin?Maybe the original atmosphere will collapse in her painting on the spur of the moment.
Well done, what kind of painting did she draw in Fengyi Palace!Actually, she just wanted to leave a letter to Xie Baolin!
At this moment, Wang Lingyi couldn't think of anything to say no to, so he could only follow Xie Baolin to the study in the backyard in despair.
As soon as he entered the study, Wang Lingyi rushed to the small square table first, pretending to casually look at the pages on the table, and saw that it was still the same page from that day, which means that Xie Baolin probably didn't come to the study yesterday, or Did not read the book.
In order to verify his idea, Wang Lingyi rushed to the desk again.Checked the inkstone, touched the nib, it was dry.Immediately, he quickly counted how many pieces of rice paper were left, and Wang Lingyi was not relieved until he confirmed that the number was the same as yesterday.
It seems that Xie Baolin really didn't come.So Wang Lingyi's immediate goal is to divert Xie Baolin's attention while she steals the painting herself.
How can Xie Baolin be distracted?Wang Lingyi looked at Xie Baolin beside him in thought.
The author has something to say: 3012 words in this chapter.
☆, concubine and concubine are happy
"What do you see me doing?" Xie Baolin asked suddenly.
Wang Lingyi hurriedly put on a shy face, lowered his eyes and smiled, "I think you look good."
Xie Baolin looked at her with a half-smile, without revealing anything, and said directly, "Let's get started."
Wang Lingyi wondered how could this be possible, so he thought about it and persuaded him: "If you teach me once, then you can go and rest."
"I found you to be very strange today," Xie Baolin slowly polished the ink, "it seems that you don't want me to stay in the study."
"Why don't I want to let you stay?" Wang Lingyi hurriedly cried out.
After Xie Baolin finished grinding the ink, he took out a Zihao, and then Xie Baolin stretched out his hand to pull out the paper from under the stack of rice paper.
Wang Lingyi was a little stunned immediately, and pressed Xie Baolin's left hand directly, and asked, "Is there paper on it?"
"I'm used to keeping the good ones at the bottom and keeping them well. The above ones are for practice."
Seeing that Xie Baolin was about to pull out the painting, Wang Lingyi turned sideways and kissed Xie Baolin's chin without thinking.
Xie Baolin was startled, and then took advantage of the situation to put the Zihao back together, freeing his hands to hug Wang Lingyi lightly, as if enjoying Wang Lingyi's initiative.After a while, she raised her hand to caress Wang Lingyi's eyes, and suddenly approached Wang Lingyi's ear, and whispered, "Your drawing is not right."
"You saw it!" Wang Lingyi couldn't help but raise his voice.
Xie Baolin smiled without saying a word.
After she entered the study room yesterday, she sat down and read the book for half an hour, and then got up to practice calligraphy.She hasn't practiced recently, her hands are raw, and she wrote a few sheets with the poor paper on top. Finally, she felt that she could write well, so she took another good paper out from under the stack of paper.
It doesn't matter if you pull out, you actually pulled out a bathing picture?
Xie Baolin had seen Wang Lingyi's paintings before.Because Wang Lingyi's writing style is very special, it is easy to identify.In addition, besides Xie Baolin, who would come in this study room and leave a painting behind?It almost didn't take much thinking to know that this was Wang Lingyi's masterpiece.
Xie Baolin looked at the painting, and his ears felt a little hot.This Wang Lingyi thief seems to have become more courageous, and he dared to draw her... The person in the painting is a little more casual and charming, and her temperament is completely different from hers, but he can tell at a glance that it is her.
"Wang Lingyi still has some skills." Xie Baolin said so, but his eyes looked at Huazai carefully.
But Xie Baolin also knew Wang Lingyi's boldness, thinking that Wang Lingyi put the painting at the bottom, maybe he was not sure whether he wanted her to see it or not.After Xie Baolin finished reading it, he put it back as it was. There were not a few sheets of rice paper on it, so he took out a corresponding amount from the box to make up for it.
When he was about to leave the study, Xie Baolin flipped the book on the table back to the pages he had read before, just to be on the safe side.
But these, Xie Baolin didn't want to tell Wang Lingyi.
Wang Lingyi felt that Xie Baolin had lost all the face he had so far, so he went all out, immediately put his arms around Xie Baolin's neck, and said in a drawn-out tone: "You said that my drawing is wrong, why are you right? Well, yes Get you up out of the water? Or..."
"You should draw yourself again." Xie Baolin said.
Wang Lingyi seemed to understand: "Understood, you just want to take a mandarin duck bath with Ben Gong."
Xie Baolin wished he could throw Wang Lingyi out.
"By the way, how did you get in yesterday? Oh, you didn't get in through the dog hole in the back wall, did you?"
Wang Lingyi: "..."
Xie Baolin regained some face, smiled and repaired the knife, and said: "If you don't go through the good door, why drill a hole."
King Qin and Princess Mingde had nothing to do with Master Shi's death, but in the near future they still need to move around as much as possible.
As soon as the result came out, Master Shi's family was not satisfied, saying that Master Shi had a lot of good relationships, and he didn't like to go to Qitiao Street on weekdays. Why did something happen near King Qin, who had a quarrel with him?But the emperor above meant that the result was clear, and insisted on pressing the matter.Now that the emperor has already spoken, the Shi family can't say anything more, but just put the account in their hearts on King Qin and Princess Mingde.
As soon as he left the imperial study room, the head of the Shi family opened his mouth and said in a cold voice: "King Qin, princess, you are really good at calculating, sorry for my nephew's lack of scheming."
Li Jinghuan immediately said: "Master Shi, why did you say that? My king originally liked to have fun, who in Beijing didn't know? It's normal for me to go to Qitiao Street, but it's Master Shi's nephew who never touches flowers. Went there yesterday? Shouldn’t the master check to see if someone said anything to his nephew?”
"Sophistry!" Master Shi suddenly stepped forward, "Although my master's family is small, I will never give up pursuing it!"
Li Jinghuan said angrily: "Your Majesty's tone is too loud. After all, I, Li Jinghuan, is the son of the first emperor, the current King of Qin. If your lord wants to accuse me and come with evidence, I will open the door of the palace without saying a word and wait for you." Your Excellency!"
"You wait!" Master Shi said, and left in a huff.
These words finally reached the ears of the Emperor Yushufang.The emperor put down the pen in his hand, and after listening to the palace servant who answered without saying a word, he said: "You step back."
Mingde went back to Beijing directly with Li Jinghuan, and he didn't even go to the Taixi Hall of the Empress Dowager.What the two of them said along the way was irrelevant, and it was already evening when they returned to the first place.
"Sister." Li Jinghuan suddenly stopped Mingde who was going back to the yard.
At this moment, it is an open place, with few vegetation around, no one can hide there.Mingde turned around, looked at Li Jinghuan from a distance, and responded, "What's the matter?"
Li Jinghuan said: "Sister should not be involved in this matter."
Ming De said nothing.
"My sister should have lived a leisurely life in the fief earlier." Li Jinghuan said with a serious look, "rather than follow my useless younger brother and suffer all kinds of suspicion."
Ming De approached him slowly, then stopped, and said softly: "You are my younger brother. Jing Huan, tell me honestly, Master Shi's death...does it have anything to do with you?"
"Sister suspects me?" Li Jinghuan asked.
Mingde stared at him steadfastly, without saying a word for a while, and finally said slowly: "You are my younger brother."
After finishing speaking, Mingde raised his hand, patted Li Jinghuan's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "Take a good rest."
Mingde's yard in Beijing is exactly the same as her yard in the southwestern fiefdom.Although Mingde looked tired, he knew that he would not be able to rest well even if he lay down, so he sat under the plane tree in the courtyard and called someone to move out his chessboard.
This chessboard and chess pieces look good, but the material is quite ordinary, even inferior to the middle-level chess in the market.But Mingde has been using this chess set for more than two years, and he is already familiar with every chess piece.
She dropped the white stone first.
What Go wants is meditation.
In this round, Mingde himself was in a mess and had no rules.
At this moment, her accompanying guards came in from the courtyard gate, strode into the courtyard, and saluted Mingde: "There is a letter from the palace."
Mingde put away the chess piece casually, and said, "Present it here."
The guard immediately delivered the letter.
Mingde opened his eyes to read the contents of the letter, his brows gradually furrowed.She read that short line of words over and over for a long time.
"The empress and concubine are happy with each other."
Mingde held the letter, got up and went to her study, she walked as usual, her actions were naturally noble.She stood in the middle of the study and looked at the east wall. It was a painting she brought back from the study in the southwest fief.
Mingde's emotions calmed down almost instantly, she stretched out her hand and threw the letter into the brazier, blew on the fire, and burned the letter clean.
The fire of licking that letter seemed to be glowing in Mingde's eyes.
The weather is getting colder, Xie Baolin is wearing a little thicker than usual, but his hands and feet are still cold, it seems that he is not warm at all, it is still autumn, what should we do in winter?
How bad is Xie Baolin?Wang Lingyi didn't have a specific idea, but she knew that Xie Baolin had recuperated for so long and seemed to have had little effect, which made Wang Lingyi feel very strange.
It is true that the loss of the body and the poor foundation cannot be repaired by medicine in a day or two, but at least there must be signs of improvement.But one or two times before, when Xie Baolin came to Kuishui, the pain seemed to be getting stronger.
Wang Lingyi took advantage of Xie Baolin's small kitchen not paying attention one day, and asked He Jiang to collect a bag of medicine residues and bring them to Imperial Doctor Xu.
After observing, Imperial Physician Xu pinched the dregs of different medicinal materials and sniffed them on his fingertips, then put them in his mouth to taste, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this the Empress's medicine? There is nothing wrong with this medicine."
Wang Lingyi said: "If you take this medicine according to your estimation of your mother's body, how long will it take to take effect?"
"Understood the official, I will ask to see the empress again." Doctor Xu said.
Wang Lingyi nodded.She knew that Imperial Physician Xu would not tell herself too much about the queen, so she stopped short, and as long as Imperial Physician Xu went to show Xie Baolin again, she would be more assured.However, Wang Lingyi's doubts have not been eliminated.After returning to Huayang Palace, she immediately asked He Jiang to deliver the news to the Wang family.
On the second day, Wang Lingyi's sister-in-law went to the palace to ask to see her.
Wang Lingyi's sister-in-law brought her youngest daughter here this time, thinking of making Wang Lingyi happy.
Wang Lingyi was teasing the three-year-old niece in his arms, seeing that she was born ice-snow and smart, he liked her very much, and played with her for a long time.Tired of playing, the little niece fell asleep in Wang Lingyi's arms.
Only then did Wang Lingyi lower his voice, and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law's family has a deep history of medicine, I wonder if there are any doctors with rich money who can recommend one or two?"
"What? Are you tempted?" Sister-in-law glanced at Wang Lingyi's stomach with a smile, and said, "The imperial doctor in the palace is already one in a hundred. Where does your empress want me to find?"
Wang Lingyi smiled and said: "I know my sister-in-law has a solution. My sister-in-law will help me find one or two as soon as possible. There are some things that I want to confirm."
☆, 30.1
The sister-in-law immediately responded, as if she suddenly remembered something, and said: "Madam, I don't know if you have heard that Mrs. Yuan's elder brother seems to be very good at controlling floods in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Yuan Wen still has such abilities?" Wang Lingyi thought of Xie Baolin's cousin, "Xie Zhen also went to Xie's family. I wonder if Xie Zhen is better?"
The sister-in-law shook her head: "I haven't heard much, and the Xie family seems to have nothing to do."
Wang Lingyi thought that it was difficult to control the floods, and it was good to have no faults. The Xie family lineage is weak, and it would be better for Xie Zhen to come back safely.
But Wang Lingyi just thought about it in his heart, Wang Lingyi still wouldn't tell Xie Baolin about the Xie family.
The sister-in-law saw that it was about the same time, and she was about to leave.Wang Lingyi finally saw her once, but she just hugged her little niece and refused to let go, saying repeatedly: "Why don't you let Xiao Qi stay for a few more days?"
"Your Majesty made me feel relieved. Don't look at her being good at the moment, she will be dishonest when she sleeps at night." Sister-in-law's tone was very gentle.
But in the end the little girl also pestered Wang Lingyi and refused to leave, crying with snot and tears.The sister-in-law could only give up and leave the little girl here to accompany Wang Lingyi for one night.
Before leaving, I repeatedly told the little girl's nanny to coax the little girl well, and don't run into the nobleman in the palace.
The little girl next to her nodded obediently until her mother left, the little girl took Wang Lingyi's hand and asked sweetly, "Auntie, can you take Xiao Qi to see outside?"
When Wang Lingyi saw this child, his heart softened, and he couldn't refuse anything, so he said, "Auntie asked someone to bring you some pastries, okay?"
Small
This feeling is actually very subtle.
But Wang Lingyi didn't care about it, so she stepped up the steps of Xie Baolin's study.The study door was still unlocked, and it opened with a light push.
The library is as tidy as ever.There was still a book on the square table, and it seemed that he hadn't finished it.She turned and closed the door.
It's strange to say that because Wang Lingyi always liked stronger fragrances, it was difficult for her to detect light fragrances.But this is not the case in Xie Baolin's study now.No incense was burned in Xie Baolin's study room, but Wang Lingyi could smell the faint fragrance in the air.
Maybe it was because Xie Baolin had been sitting in the study for a long time, or maybe it was because Wang Lingyi was already sensitive to this fragrance.
Wang Lingyi couldn't help touching the book, and her fingertips slid across Xie Baolin's guqin again.When she stood in front of the desk, she spread out the rice paper, grinded the ink finely, and finally picked up a very thin wolf hair.
She started to write, her strokes were smooth, simple but very expressive, and she drew a picture of a beauty in a short time.
That's Xie Baolin.
It's not Xie Baolin who is dressed in a queen's palace attire, not the Xie Baolin who was full of talent when he wrote poems, but the one who appeared in her dreams, lying naked on the edge of the hot spring pool, looking back slightly Xie Baolin.
☆, 233333333333333
Wang Lingyi was quite satisfied with this impromptu work, the ink was drying slowly, Wang Lingyi was impatient, so he leaned close to the rice paper and blew gently.When she blew on Xie Baolin's shoulder in the painting, Wang Lingyi's heart beat wildly and he didn't dare to blow it again.
After the ink dried, Wang Lingyi pressed the drawing paper to the bottom of the stack of rice paper.
After washing Xie Baolin's pen, he returned the same way and left Fengyi Palace.
In the dead of night, Wang Lingyi couldn't fall asleep. She opened her eyes, thinking about Xie Baolin's mood when she saw the painting.
Would Xie Baolin feel...disrespected to her?
The more Wang Lingyi thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Why was she so reckless?Although it seems that the two of them have some feelings, doesn't this painting of hers show that she has evil thoughts in her heart?
But helplessly, although there is a small exit in the backyard of Fengyi Palace, there is no exit in Huayang Palace. Now it is midnight and the key has already been locked, so how can she get out?
The moon is as cool as water tonight, and the "Seven Streets" in the capital are as bustling as daytime.In the whole of Kyoto, only this street has no curfew, because it is a flower street.All the large and small Qin and Chu pavilions in the capital are gathered here, and the reputation spreads far and wide. Foreign businessmen have already come here to have a look.
However, a person walked into the lobby of Fanhua Building. This person was tall, with noble temperament and extraordinary appearance.Although she was wearing men's clothes, she could see the exquisite waistline.All eyes were on this man almost at once.
The bustard seldom receives guests in person, especially unfamiliar ones.When a person stepped into this building, the old bustard had weighed him several times in his heart.This person is different today, the bustard can tell at a glance that this is a woman, and a noble woman.
There are two reasons for a woman to come to Fanhualou, the first is to seek refuge in desperation, and the second is to arrest someone.But this girl is by no means the first type.Sure enough, as soon as the old bustard stepped forward, the woman threw a purse at her, and with her red lips slightly parted, she asked, "Where is Miss Wanzhuang, who is it now?"
The old bustard was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I can't disclose the name of the guest at will."
The woman said, "Have you ever seen how much is in the purse?"
No need to look, the bustard also knows that there is a lot of money, and even more that the woman must succeed today.
Immediately afterwards, the woman took down a soft whip from her waist, with a stern face, swung it in the air, and shouted: "Come out!"
The old bustard only felt that his ears were going to be deaf, and he was busy trying to appease him. At this time, the woman whipped him again, and said angrily, "Li Jinghuan, come out!"
Who is Li Jinghuan, who in the capital does not know, who does not know?That is the emperor's younger brother, and so is His Royal Highness King Qin today.In the past few years, he has been very messy, and he has done absurd things. In the past one or two years, he has been pestering Wang Guifei for a long time. It was not until Wang Guifei entered the palace that he was escorted to the southwest by Princess Mingde.
The ancestor is back.
Li Jinghuan was upstairs, so the aggressive person holding a whip must be Princess Mingde.
"Who is it?" Li Jinghuan's clothes were a little disheveled, his face was flushed, he leaned against the railing, looked down from upstairs, saw Mingde, and immediately smiled, "Sister."
"You are so happy." Mingde said in a deep voice.Clearly out of breath.
Li Jinghuan said: "Life is short, if you can't be happy, you might as well die clean."
"Come back with me!" Mingde gritted his teeth.
Li Jinghuan said: "Sister, this is not the place you should come to, sister, go back quickly."
The princess and the king of Qin came and went, everyone held their breath and did not dare to make other noises, and only listened intently to the quarrel between the two.
In another room, there was a person who listened more carefully.This person looks delicate, very elegant and clean, there is only a pot of tea and two plates of snacks in front of his table.But this tea, which he had held in his hand for a long time, was already cold.
"My lord, what do you want to hear next?" The woman asked warmly, taking her hands off the strings.
The man smiled: "I don't listen."
After that, he got up and walked out the door.
At this time, any other movement would be very eye-catching, so as soon as this young man left the room, everyone's eyes immediately turned to him.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Sun?" Li Jinghuan smiled casually, "Why don't you read your sage books at home and come here to have fun?"
Mingde took a quick look.
That Sun Jiaqi still looked very gentle, tall and thin, he seemed a little nervous, and said: "The King of Qin and His Highness the Princess are here, how dare I not come out?"
Mingde didn't want to look at him, so he put away his soft whip, and said directly to Li Jinghuan: "Go."
At this moment, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground near the Fanhua Building, followed by someone screaming, the sound was very clear at this moment.Mingde's face changed, and he immediately wanted to go out to check.Sun Jiaqi also immediately came downstairs and followed Ming De.
The voice came from Qinxianglou, the third house on the west side of Fanhualou.The daring crowd has surrounded the surroundings.Mingde went to the crowd, when a person stretched out his hand to push Mingde aside, a slender hand grabbed that person's wrist.
Mingde took a look, it was Sun Jiaqi.
Sun Jiaqi forced a smile at her, just like the expression of Mid-Autumn Festival when he was in the hunting ground, a little timid and a little awed.
Mingde ignored him, she finally saw the man who fell from upstairs.The man hit the ground on the back of his head, and the whole person lay flat on the ground, blood slowly flowed out from the back of his head, staining the ground.
Mingde looked down at the tragic death of this man, and suddenly covered his mouth, his stomach churned with nausea.
Li Jinghuan followed Sun Jiaqi, and originally asked: "What's going on?" But when he saw the man on the ground, Li Jinghuan immediately yelled, and the next moment he fell backwards and passed out.
Li Jinghuan was panicked when he woke up, his eyes were red: "Sister, let's go to the palace and explain clearly to Brother Huang!"
There is no other reason, the person who died was Mr. Shi.
Master Shi used to speak rudely to Mingde on the hunting ground, but now he died suddenly, who wouldn't think of King Qin and Mingde at the first time?
Let alone other people, even Wang Lingyi had some doubts in his heart after hearing about it, but the next moment, he would overthrow it by himself.Because according to the situation at the time, Mr. Master himself fell from the third floor while drunk, and there were many witnesses on the spot, so it is impossible for King Qin and Ming De to do it.
Besides, it was King Qin who went to Fanhualou first, and Master Shi went to Qinxianglou on a temporary basis, after King Qin.
This incident caused a big commotion, Li Jinghuan and Mingde stayed in the imperial study for more than an hour, but they still haven't come out.The Empress Dowager was anxious, and she couldn't go to the Imperial Study Room to urge her, so she had to come to Fengyi Palace.
Xie Baolin has never seen the Queen Mother lose her composure like this.When the Empress Dowager picked up the tea bowl, there was a slight knocking sound between the tea lid and the tea bowl. Although she did not speak, she pursed her lips tightly, looking very nervous.
"It's okay." Xie Baolin said softly.
The queen mother smiled unnaturally, holding the cup of warm tea in her hand, said: "Don't worry about Aijia."
But Mingde and King Qin were children brought up by the Queen Mother, and now that this kind of thing happened, the Queen Mother, who was always calm, couldn't help but feel aroused.
Xie Baolin could only choose words to comfort the Queen Mother.
But someone came in at the door and announced: "The empress dowager, the empress dowager, the fourth concubine please see me."
Seeing Xie Baolin looking at her, the Queen Mother waved directly: "This is your Fengyi Palace."
Xie Baolin just said: "Let them in."
Wang Lingyi walked in the front, his pace was a little faster, and there seemed to be some wind when he came in.The rest of the three concubines walked slowly, and the movements of crossing the threshold were very delicate.
Wang Lingyi didn't expect the Queen Mother to be there, so he was a little taken aback, and then immediately saluted the Queen Mother.Xie Baolin never looked at Wang Lingyi.
Wang Lingyi thanked Baolin because he probably didn't have the energy to care too much, so he sat quietly beside them and listened to what they had to say.
The third concubine was originally the emperor's little white flower, with a bright heart and understanding, knowing that the queen mother was in a bad mood, she didn't say much, and only said things that made the queen mother feel comfortable.
Xie Baolin couldn't be more clear in his heart, how could King Qin and Princess Mingde be guilty?They will have nothing.In this case, the empress dowager's worry was actually her concern about the emperor's attitude.
A few people sat together, and after a few words, there was nothing to say. The queen mother knew that it would be useless to continue sitting, so she got up and left.
And the third concubine originally planned to say a few more words about this matter, but before she could say anything, she saw that the queen didn't seem to be very kind, and she was a little scared, so she rushed away, leaving Wang Guifei, who had never liked the queen .
Wang Guifei, who was alone, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "All gone? Then I will go too."
"What are you going for?" Xie Baolin's expression relaxed, he sipped his tea slowly, and said slowly: "I don't know who brought the third concubine here."
Wang Lingyi's face was full of embarrassment, and he said, "Who is here? I was dragged here."
"I haven't seen you walking around my palace recently." Xie Baolin mentioned lightly.
It didn't matter if Wang Lingyi was exposed, but she immediately remembered the painting, and she didn't know whether Xie Baolin saw it or not.She is now in a very contradictory mood, wanting her to see it, but not wanting her to see it.
It doesn't matter to make jokes, but Wang Lingyi came today, apart from seeing Xie Baolin, he really came to inquire about Mingde.The emperor took care of this matter rather tightly, and Wang Lingyi was not so well informed, so he thought of coming over to ask.
"You said... Li Jingwen's matter shouldn't be serious?" Wang Lingyi asked.
Xie Baolin put down the teacup and said with a slight smile, "What? What do you want to know?"
Wang Lingyi looked at her calm expression, so he thought about it and replied: "There were not a few people who saw this incident at the time, and Li Jingwen and King Qin were only nearby, so there is no way to convict her. And pointing to such an obvious thing, Li Jingwen is sure Won't do it. Why isn't it over yet?"
The author has something to say: the second update is 3009 words, good night everyone.
☆, 233333333333333
"You know her pretty well." Xie Baolin said in a neutral tone.
Hearing this, Wang Lingyi brazenly moved a seat to Xie Baolin's side, about two steps away from her, then stretched his foot over, touched Xie Baolin's toes lightly, and said softly, "I have no other intentions."
Xie Baolin ignored her, and deliberately retracted his feet, saying: "Don't touch me."
Wang Lingyi still wanted to go over, walked up to Xie Baolin, looked at her from top to bottom, then stretched out his index finger like a onion root and gently poked Xie Baolin's shoulder: "Tell me about it."
"Why should I tell you about Li Jingwen?" Xie Baolin said half-truthfully.
"Because..." Wang Lingyi said two words, but did not continue.
Seeing her appearance, Xie Baolin couldn't help frowning, fearing that something would happen to Wang Lingyi again, he immediately said, "You want to run away again?"
Thinking back to the last time Wang Lingyi came here, she also felt that she was too timid to look down upon, so she felt a little guilty, and her arrogance also became low. She lowered her eyes: "You really care about her."
Xie Baolin has seen thick-skinned people before, but never seen such a reversal of black and white.She said angrily, "Wang Lingyi, is your brain as big as a walnut? Do I care about her?"
Wang Lingyi pouted: "I mean, you think I still care about Li Jingwen, so you seem to be very sensitive to Li Jingwen."
Xie Baolin thought that Wang Lingyi said something human, but still said: "You should be thin-skinned." But she caught Wang Lingyi's word "return", that is to say, she still cared about Li Jingwen before.
Thinking about it carefully, Mingde left Beijing at the end of spring last year, and Wang Lingyi entered the palace last summer. Thinking about what Wang Lingyi said before, "I want to come", could it be because Li Jingwen ran away?
Xie Baolin couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
Wang Lingyi groaned a few times, but said, "I haven't seen her since we returned."
This is quite comfortable to hear.Xie Baolin snorted, reluctantly accepting this explanation.
Wang Lingyi began to stare at the mole on Xie Baolin's forehead that was so small that it was almost invisible at ordinary times, and said, "I just wanted to say that because I am with you now, I will ask you clearly. Otherwise, it is also feasible for me to inquire in private. I admit that I had a relationship with Li Jingwen, and she brought up the separation. Turn a blind eye, are you sure you still like me? Do you like Wang Lingyi like that? If you like me like that, I don't like it. "
Xie Baolin lowered his head slightly, a smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and he stopped it immediately, and looked up at her, only to see Wang Lingyi's phoenix eyes slightly lowered, looking at him fixedly, as if he was hoping, but also as if he was coaxing others.For some reason, the originally charming appearance now reveals a stubborn and stupid look.Xie Baolin said: "Who said I like you?"
Wang Lingyi was stunned immediately, she thought about it, Xie Baolin did not say anything.That is to say, Xie Baolin didn't admit it, so...the kiss was meaningless.
"Ah." Wang Lingyi suddenly let out a low cry, then took a few steps back, bowed his head and said softly, "I misunderstood."
Seeing that she turned around and was about to leave, Xie Baolin asked, "Where are you going?"
Wang Lingyi paused.
Then she heard Xie Baolin's footsteps walking towards her, and the next moment she saw a handkerchief in front of her, which was handed over by Xie Baolin from her shoulder.The veil was still stained with the light fragrance of Xie Baolin's body, which smelled very nice.
Her eye sockets were hot.
She felt that Xie Baolin's actions at this moment seemed to hug her, because Xie Baolin was still behind her, but gently covered her face with a handkerchief, as if wiping her tears.
"You cry so much." Xie Baolin's voice came faintly from behind Wang Lingyi.
Wang Lingyi's face was still covered with a veil, so she couldn't see outside, so she pursed her lips and didn't speak.
Xie Baolin pressed the hand of the handkerchief and moved.
Wang Lingyi could tell that it was Xie Baolin who had walked around in front of him from behind, but the square handkerchief still hadn't been removed.
She was about to say that she was going to resign, but she suddenly found Xie Baolin approaching her.
A kiss was printed on her lips through the finely intertwined veil.
Almost a moment later, Xie Baolin moved away a little, and the two of them breathed face to face through the veil, and they came and went, disturbing the floating of the veil.
Xie Baolin said: "I said I like you.
"It's not appreciation, it's not kindness, it's not empress to concubine, but one woman to another woman. I think you should be able to understand."
At the end, Xie Baolin added: "I like you enough to show my kindness, right?"
"You go." Wang Lingyi squeezed out two words angrily.
Xie Baolin smiled: "So, when I take off the veil, you remember to smile at me, don't cry."
Following Xie Baolin's sudden release of the handkerchief, the handkerchief fluttered past the two of them and fell to the ground.
Xie Baolin saw the aura of this most special woman in the harem from drooping her eyes to looking up at her.Somehow, Xie Baolin seemed to be back when Wang Lingyi first entered the palace.
At that time, she stepped into the threshold of the main hall together with several others, and all the etiquette movements were standard, from entering the door to saluting, she didn't even lift her head.But when the emperor asked them to look up, Wang Lingyi raised his eyes with a warm smile, those phoenix eyes were really shockingly beautiful.Xie Baolin felt at that time that this person must be a scourge.
as predicted.
She remembered the emperor asking her: "What do Zitong think? Can the daughter of the Wang family stay?"
Xie Baolin, who had never liked to meddle in the emperor's private affairs, suddenly said, "That's right."
The emperor thought so, so Wang Lingyi entered the palace like this.
Xie Baolin thought, was it the intoxicatingly warm weather that day, or was she already tired of the sameness?But now, Xie Baolin can confirm that this scourge has been kept well.
At this moment, Xie Baolin had another illusion, as if Wang Lingyi's phoenix coronet, which she lifted up just now, was Fang Dahong's hijab.
Wang Lingyi winked like silk, and said with a smile, "I'm beautiful, right?"
Being so brazen, Xie Baolin suddenly regretted her charming thoughts just now, and she changed the topic deliberately: "I have a different opinion from you about what you asked just now."
Wang Lingyi could keep up with Xie Baolin's transformation: "I would like to hear more about it."
Xie Baolin gave her a look of "You can also use idioms, you are not bad", then she naturally pulled Wang Lingyi's wrist, led her back to the seat, and said as she walked, "You must know, King Qin has always been Protect Mingde. This time, in Fanhualou, the two had a dispute. Of course, there will always be disputes, but the timing is too good. And there is another person present, Sun Jiaqi."
"Sun Jiaqi?" Wang Lingyi was a little surprised this time, "Didn't he always read sage books, why did he go to Qitiao Street?"
Xie Baolin said: "This is the strange thing, maybe someone counted them, but I always feel that there is something wrong with dealing with King Qin and Mingde so blatantly."
Wang Lingyi said: "Li Jingwen is very cunning, she can avoid anything."
Although Xie Baolin couldn't bear it, but after thinking about this series of things, he still asked, "How did you separate?"
"This." Wang Lingyi didn't seem to care much, "It's because she thinks I'm pushing her too hard. I used to be very self-willed, so I probably can't stand it."
Xie Baolin said: "But King Qin asked you to propose marriage."
"I didn't know at the time that she was going to the southwest. She told King Qin to marry me before." Wang Lingyi lowered her eyes this time, "She said that if King Qin married me, we could be together, but why did she have to do this? I I didn’t understand it then, and I still don’t understand it that much.”
Xie Baolin was silent.
As Wang Lingyi said, Mingde is cunning, so why can't she achieve multiple things in one fell swoop?Qin Wang's marriage took the opportunity to settle down, even the relationship between Wang's aristocrats, and Mingde was able to stay with Wang Lingyi for a long time.
"Xie Baolin, I've told you everything you want to know." Wang Lingyi said, "I only let you know."
Xie Baolin nodded, stretched out his hand and patted the back of Wang Lingyi's hand, and said, "I'll let people keep an eye on Mingde's matter, and I'll let you know if there's any progress."
Wang Lingyi couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"By the way, you asked me to teach you calligraphy earlier, and I happen to be free today, so why not choose another day?" Xie Baolin suggested.
Wang Lingyi:! ! !
She hasn't forgotten the picture she made.What about that painting that makes people feel ashamed but can't help looking at it again and again?How can you steal the painting in front of Xie Baolin?Maybe the original atmosphere will collapse in her painting on the spur of the moment.
Well done, what kind of painting did she draw in Fengyi Palace!Actually, she just wanted to leave a letter to Xie Baolin!
At this moment, Wang Lingyi couldn't think of anything to say no to, so he could only follow Xie Baolin to the study in the backyard in despair.
As soon as he entered the study, Wang Lingyi rushed to the small square table first, pretending to casually look at the pages on the table, and saw that it was still the same page from that day, which means that Xie Baolin probably didn't come to the study yesterday, or Did not read the book.
In order to verify his idea, Wang Lingyi rushed to the desk again.Checked the inkstone, touched the nib, it was dry.Immediately, he quickly counted how many pieces of rice paper were left, and Wang Lingyi was not relieved until he confirmed that the number was the same as yesterday.
It seems that Xie Baolin really didn't come.So Wang Lingyi's immediate goal is to divert Xie Baolin's attention while she steals the painting herself.
How can Xie Baolin be distracted?Wang Lingyi looked at Xie Baolin beside him in thought.
The author has something to say: 3012 words in this chapter.
☆, concubine and concubine are happy
"What do you see me doing?" Xie Baolin asked suddenly.
Wang Lingyi hurriedly put on a shy face, lowered his eyes and smiled, "I think you look good."
Xie Baolin looked at her with a half-smile, without revealing anything, and said directly, "Let's get started."
Wang Lingyi wondered how could this be possible, so he thought about it and persuaded him: "If you teach me once, then you can go and rest."
"I found you to be very strange today," Xie Baolin slowly polished the ink, "it seems that you don't want me to stay in the study."
"Why don't I want to let you stay?" Wang Lingyi hurriedly cried out.
After Xie Baolin finished grinding the ink, he took out a Zihao, and then Xie Baolin stretched out his hand to pull out the paper from under the stack of rice paper.
Wang Lingyi was a little stunned immediately, and pressed Xie Baolin's left hand directly, and asked, "Is there paper on it?"
"I'm used to keeping the good ones at the bottom and keeping them well. The above ones are for practice."
Seeing that Xie Baolin was about to pull out the painting, Wang Lingyi turned sideways and kissed Xie Baolin's chin without thinking.
Xie Baolin was startled, and then took advantage of the situation to put the Zihao back together, freeing his hands to hug Wang Lingyi lightly, as if enjoying Wang Lingyi's initiative.After a while, she raised her hand to caress Wang Lingyi's eyes, and suddenly approached Wang Lingyi's ear, and whispered, "Your drawing is not right."
"You saw it!" Wang Lingyi couldn't help but raise his voice.
Xie Baolin smiled without saying a word.
After she entered the study room yesterday, she sat down and read the book for half an hour, and then got up to practice calligraphy.She hasn't practiced recently, her hands are raw, and she wrote a few sheets with the poor paper on top. Finally, she felt that she could write well, so she took another good paper out from under the stack of paper.
It doesn't matter if you pull out, you actually pulled out a bathing picture?
Xie Baolin had seen Wang Lingyi's paintings before.Because Wang Lingyi's writing style is very special, it is easy to identify.In addition, besides Xie Baolin, who would come in this study room and leave a painting behind?It almost didn't take much thinking to know that this was Wang Lingyi's masterpiece.
Xie Baolin looked at the painting, and his ears felt a little hot.This Wang Lingyi thief seems to have become more courageous, and he dared to draw her... The person in the painting is a little more casual and charming, and her temperament is completely different from hers, but he can tell at a glance that it is her.
"Wang Lingyi still has some skills." Xie Baolin said so, but his eyes looked at Huazai carefully.
But Xie Baolin also knew Wang Lingyi's boldness, thinking that Wang Lingyi put the painting at the bottom, maybe he was not sure whether he wanted her to see it or not.After Xie Baolin finished reading it, he put it back as it was. There were not a few sheets of rice paper on it, so he took out a corresponding amount from the box to make up for it.
When he was about to leave the study, Xie Baolin flipped the book on the table back to the pages he had read before, just to be on the safe side.
But these, Xie Baolin didn't want to tell Wang Lingyi.
Wang Lingyi felt that Xie Baolin had lost all the face he had so far, so he went all out, immediately put his arms around Xie Baolin's neck, and said in a drawn-out tone: "You said that my drawing is wrong, why are you right? Well, yes Get you up out of the water? Or..."
"You should draw yourself again." Xie Baolin said.
Wang Lingyi seemed to understand: "Understood, you just want to take a mandarin duck bath with Ben Gong."
Xie Baolin wished he could throw Wang Lingyi out.
"By the way, how did you get in yesterday? Oh, you didn't get in through the dog hole in the back wall, did you?"
Wang Lingyi: "..."
Xie Baolin regained some face, smiled and repaired the knife, and said: "If you don't go through the good door, why drill a hole."
King Qin and Princess Mingde had nothing to do with Master Shi's death, but in the near future they still need to move around as much as possible.
As soon as the result came out, Master Shi's family was not satisfied, saying that Master Shi had a lot of good relationships, and he didn't like to go to Qitiao Street on weekdays. Why did something happen near King Qin, who had a quarrel with him?But the emperor above meant that the result was clear, and insisted on pressing the matter.Now that the emperor has already spoken, the Shi family can't say anything more, but just put the account in their hearts on King Qin and Princess Mingde.
As soon as he left the imperial study room, the head of the Shi family opened his mouth and said in a cold voice: "King Qin, princess, you are really good at calculating, sorry for my nephew's lack of scheming."
Li Jinghuan immediately said: "Master Shi, why did you say that? My king originally liked to have fun, who in Beijing didn't know? It's normal for me to go to Qitiao Street, but it's Master Shi's nephew who never touches flowers. Went there yesterday? Shouldn’t the master check to see if someone said anything to his nephew?”
"Sophistry!" Master Shi suddenly stepped forward, "Although my master's family is small, I will never give up pursuing it!"
Li Jinghuan said angrily: "Your Majesty's tone is too loud. After all, I, Li Jinghuan, is the son of the first emperor, the current King of Qin. If your lord wants to accuse me and come with evidence, I will open the door of the palace without saying a word and wait for you." Your Excellency!"
"You wait!" Master Shi said, and left in a huff.
These words finally reached the ears of the Emperor Yushufang.The emperor put down the pen in his hand, and after listening to the palace servant who answered without saying a word, he said: "You step back."
Mingde went back to Beijing directly with Li Jinghuan, and he didn't even go to the Taixi Hall of the Empress Dowager.What the two of them said along the way was irrelevant, and it was already evening when they returned to the first place.
"Sister." Li Jinghuan suddenly stopped Mingde who was going back to the yard.
At this moment, it is an open place, with few vegetation around, no one can hide there.Mingde turned around, looked at Li Jinghuan from a distance, and responded, "What's the matter?"
Li Jinghuan said: "Sister should not be involved in this matter."
Ming De said nothing.
"My sister should have lived a leisurely life in the fief earlier." Li Jinghuan said with a serious look, "rather than follow my useless younger brother and suffer all kinds of suspicion."
Ming De approached him slowly, then stopped, and said softly: "You are my younger brother. Jing Huan, tell me honestly, Master Shi's death...does it have anything to do with you?"
"Sister suspects me?" Li Jinghuan asked.
Mingde stared at him steadfastly, without saying a word for a while, and finally said slowly: "You are my younger brother."
After finishing speaking, Mingde raised his hand, patted Li Jinghuan's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "Take a good rest."
Mingde's yard in Beijing is exactly the same as her yard in the southwestern fiefdom.Although Mingde looked tired, he knew that he would not be able to rest well even if he lay down, so he sat under the plane tree in the courtyard and called someone to move out his chessboard.
This chessboard and chess pieces look good, but the material is quite ordinary, even inferior to the middle-level chess in the market.But Mingde has been using this chess set for more than two years, and he is already familiar with every chess piece.
She dropped the white stone first.
What Go wants is meditation.
In this round, Mingde himself was in a mess and had no rules.
At this moment, her accompanying guards came in from the courtyard gate, strode into the courtyard, and saluted Mingde: "There is a letter from the palace."
Mingde put away the chess piece casually, and said, "Present it here."
The guard immediately delivered the letter.
Mingde opened his eyes to read the contents of the letter, his brows gradually furrowed.She read that short line of words over and over for a long time.
"The empress and concubine are happy with each other."
Mingde held the letter, got up and went to her study, she walked as usual, her actions were naturally noble.She stood in the middle of the study and looked at the east wall. It was a painting she brought back from the study in the southwest fief.
Mingde's emotions calmed down almost instantly, she stretched out her hand and threw the letter into the brazier, blew on the fire, and burned the letter clean.
The fire of licking that letter seemed to be glowing in Mingde's eyes.
The weather is getting colder, Xie Baolin is wearing a little thicker than usual, but his hands and feet are still cold, it seems that he is not warm at all, it is still autumn, what should we do in winter?
How bad is Xie Baolin?Wang Lingyi didn't have a specific idea, but she knew that Xie Baolin had recuperated for so long and seemed to have had little effect, which made Wang Lingyi feel very strange.
It is true that the loss of the body and the poor foundation cannot be repaired by medicine in a day or two, but at least there must be signs of improvement.But one or two times before, when Xie Baolin came to Kuishui, the pain seemed to be getting stronger.
Wang Lingyi took advantage of Xie Baolin's small kitchen not paying attention one day, and asked He Jiang to collect a bag of medicine residues and bring them to Imperial Doctor Xu.
After observing, Imperial Physician Xu pinched the dregs of different medicinal materials and sniffed them on his fingertips, then put them in his mouth to taste, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this the Empress's medicine? There is nothing wrong with this medicine."
Wang Lingyi said: "If you take this medicine according to your estimation of your mother's body, how long will it take to take effect?"
"Understood the official, I will ask to see the empress again." Doctor Xu said.
Wang Lingyi nodded.She knew that Imperial Physician Xu would not tell herself too much about the queen, so she stopped short, and as long as Imperial Physician Xu went to show Xie Baolin again, she would be more assured.However, Wang Lingyi's doubts have not been eliminated.After returning to Huayang Palace, she immediately asked He Jiang to deliver the news to the Wang family.
On the second day, Wang Lingyi's sister-in-law went to the palace to ask to see her.
Wang Lingyi's sister-in-law brought her youngest daughter here this time, thinking of making Wang Lingyi happy.
Wang Lingyi was teasing the three-year-old niece in his arms, seeing that she was born ice-snow and smart, he liked her very much, and played with her for a long time.Tired of playing, the little niece fell asleep in Wang Lingyi's arms.
Only then did Wang Lingyi lower his voice, and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law's family has a deep history of medicine, I wonder if there are any doctors with rich money who can recommend one or two?"
"What? Are you tempted?" Sister-in-law glanced at Wang Lingyi's stomach with a smile, and said, "The imperial doctor in the palace is already one in a hundred. Where does your empress want me to find?"
Wang Lingyi smiled and said: "I know my sister-in-law has a solution. My sister-in-law will help me find one or two as soon as possible. There are some things that I want to confirm."
☆, 30.1
The sister-in-law immediately responded, as if she suddenly remembered something, and said: "Madam, I don't know if you have heard that Mrs. Yuan's elder brother seems to be very good at controlling floods in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Yuan Wen still has such abilities?" Wang Lingyi thought of Xie Baolin's cousin, "Xie Zhen also went to Xie's family. I wonder if Xie Zhen is better?"
The sister-in-law shook her head: "I haven't heard much, and the Xie family seems to have nothing to do."
Wang Lingyi thought that it was difficult to control the floods, and it was good to have no faults. The Xie family lineage is weak, and it would be better for Xie Zhen to come back safely.
But Wang Lingyi just thought about it in his heart, Wang Lingyi still wouldn't tell Xie Baolin about the Xie family.
The sister-in-law saw that it was about the same time, and she was about to leave.Wang Lingyi finally saw her once, but she just hugged her little niece and refused to let go, saying repeatedly: "Why don't you let Xiao Qi stay for a few more days?"
"Your Majesty made me feel relieved. Don't look at her being good at the moment, she will be dishonest when she sleeps at night." Sister-in-law's tone was very gentle.
But in the end the little girl also pestered Wang Lingyi and refused to leave, crying with snot and tears.The sister-in-law could only give up and leave the little girl here to accompany Wang Lingyi for one night.
Before leaving, I repeatedly told the little girl's nanny to coax the little girl well, and don't run into the nobleman in the palace.
The little girl next to her nodded obediently until her mother left, the little girl took Wang Lingyi's hand and asked sweetly, "Auntie, can you take Xiao Qi to see outside?"
When Wang Lingyi saw this child, his heart softened, and he couldn't refuse anything, so he said, "Auntie asked someone to bring you some pastries, okay?"
