phoenix knot

On this day, the emperor personally sent them out of the palace, boarded the empress dowager's chariot, and the group set off in a mighty way.

The envoys had already handed over the letter to King Liao, and the Queen Mother wanted to meet Emperor Huiwen, mother and son recognized each other, Emperor Hongxi wanted to confirm whether Emperor Huiwen himself was the one who was personally conscripted in the tent of King Liao, and King Liao also wanted to prove to the world, I searched all over the world and finally found the real dragon emperor.Since Emperor Huiwen is alive, as Emperor Hongxi's reputation as the emperor's uncle is not right, you should step aside and go back to the North to be your King Yan—if after this battle, King Yan is still alive if.

The phoenix chariot was loaded with heavy missions and left the palace. The Empress Dowager and Qing Yu Lianxiang sat in the same car. The Empress was afraid that Su Mingyue would be spoiled and would not be able to walk a long distance, so she arranged to ride with her in the auxiliary car at the back.

The phoenix chariot was dragged by sweat-blooded BMWs, with four horses running side by side. There were two rows at the front and back, and the auxiliary carriage was only pulled by two horses.The empress and Su Mingyue were shoulder to shoulder, arms leaning against each other, and the weather was very hot, both of them were lightly dressed in tulle and dressed in the same attire. They were maids by the empress dowager's side, with half a small piece of arm exposed like a lotus root. Outside, sweat dripping from top to bottom.

The queen raised the curtains to ventilate, Su Mingyue raised the other arm, turned her head to smell, "I don't have a bad smell, do I?"

The queen smiled, "Do you have time to worry about this at this time?"

Su Mingyue said: "I worry about trivial matters, unlike the empress who cares about the world. I also worry about the emperor."

The queen was very interested, "What do you worry about him?"

"At this time, the emperor was taken to Changle Palace by Xiyu. Wei Changzai is complaining, Moxue is covered with injuries, Jiayin is crying, and Concubine Hui calls her wronged with her big belly. It's so ingenious. The emperor is probably going to be burnt out."

The queen's eyes flashed, she was very cunning, "I did it on purpose."

"Who would entertain her husband like this?" Su Mingyue wondered.

"Three thousand beauties in the harem, how easy is it to enjoy it?"

Although Su Mingyue felt that the heat was unbearable, she was very happy in her heart. The queen's skin was as creamy and her figure was graceful. When she pinched her that day, she was very strong, and she could lift herself up lightly and deftly, but she was not like a man. It's so rude and rude, but it's very useful.

"I heard from Concubine Ning that the word Mingyue of yours is not the bright moon that is so beautiful for thousands of miles? A gentleman is like jade, with ingenuity and ingenuity. It is a good name."

"A gentleman is crowned with jade, his eyes are like bright stars, his body is tall and straight, and he is suave. Old General Liang was born in martial arts, so he named his daughter such a good name." Su Mingyue also came to praise the queen.

The queen smiled and said, "I have four older brothers above me, and my younger brother Qingyu below me. Everyone has the word jade in their names. I am the only daughter in the house. My father only had his first daughter when he was 40 years old. So he dotes on me very much, so he gave me this name ingeniously."

"Now that you are a queen, all your brothers have become beautiful jade that you carry with you."

The queen smiled slightly, "They did not bathe in blood to make the empress empress golden and jade.

"Yes, Mingyue jokingly said, the queen doesn't need to mind."

"I still have an older brother who is blind and is hidden from the world now, but he has outstanding literary talents and a heart for the world. Maybe he will return to court in the future, but now is not the time."

"You asked your younger brother to take risks and pretend to be Emperor Huiwen, and Old General Liang agreed?"

"My father is naturally reluctant. This younger brother is a concubine. It is said that his biological mother is a distant relative of the Empress Dowager Xu's family, so his appearance is somewhat similar to that of Emperor Huiwen. His biological mother is long gone. This child is naturally rebellious and intelligent. , read four books and five passages without forgetting, how could he be raised in the Liang Mansion just to carry on the family line? He was the closest to me when I was young, and when I left the court, he ran out to wander around the rivers and lakes, and even went with his brothers Bianguan, but because he is a concubine, it is inevitable that there will be pimples in his heart. He didn't get along well with his brothers, so he ran back and wanted to follow me. He is still young and his stature is not enough. I can't find him an official position , Now he is eager to make contributions, if he doesn't come this time, he doesn't know where he will go. Dad is getting old, so he can only go with him. I don't care about the succession of the family." At the end, the queen was a little It was meant to be sarcastic.She herself is the daughter of a descendant, with a noble status, but she is very disdainful and scoffs at these red tapes and secular ethics.

"Oh, it's really hot, don't let the Queen Mother lose her grip." Su Mingyue swung the round fan to create a cool breeze.

The queen held a folding fan in her hand. She unfolded it gracefully and fanned it vigorously, and also borrowed a little wind for Su Mingyue, "Don't worry, the queen mother is in her early thirties, she is in the prime of life, and she is used to big battles. I think your body is delicate, so I'm worried that you won't faint from the heat."

"How can there be such a weak wind, this heat is still bearable."

"I have a few cousins ​​who are raised in the boudoir on weekdays. They can only survive by embracing iced sour plum soup in the hot summer. One year I was training in the school grounds. At that time, I had just formed a cavalry team. I gave orders directly. Girls, they made a fuss to come and see Qiqi, standing on the stage beside the field, with a canopy to shade the sun, I saw that the tassels were not moving, the banners were not dancing, and there was not a breath of wind. It was only a cup of tea, and I passed out again and again. Three or four people."

Su Mingyue covered her mouth and smiled, "It's your fault. My cousins ​​came to visit, but they didn't even prepare chairs and sour plum soup."

"I want to see how many can stand it, so I can include them together."

Su Mingyue said strangely: "Which pampered official lady likes to wield knives and guns, even if she likes it, she may not be able to bear the pain, even if she can endure the pain, she will still be ridiculed by her parents, brothers, and colleagues on the battlefield , Suppression and exclusion."

The queen smiled wryly, "Yes."

"So the empress is a dragon and a phoenix among people, and she has skyrocketed."

"Don't flatter me, I don't want to become what I am today. My father was born in martial arts. When the army was in chaos, he was just a small lieutenant in the previous dynasty. Shangfeng asked him to kill the rebels. , after interrogating, he found that these people were all arresting civilians from all over the place in order to make headway. My mother couldn't eat enough in her hometown, so she took my brother out to seek refuge. During this time, there were countless times when my life was hanging by a thread. I have been with my third brother since I can remember. He can read and write, and at least he is not illiterate. In addition, I disguised myself as a man in the military camp, serving tea and water, and my father and brother were strategizing. They brought their delicate cousins ​​to join the counselor, and I realized that I am very different from other women."

"To put it bluntly, the Queen's sword is swaying, is it because Old General Liang didn't study hard?"

"You are so brave, you still dare to entertain yourself as a general and wait for the Duke of Dingbei." The queen's words were obviously to scare her, and she was not really angry.

Seeing that Su Mingyue's face was gradually pale, and Liu Ye's eyebrows were slightly frowned, the queen hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you?"

"A little dizzy and tight in the chest."

"Could it be that you are suffering from heat stroke?" The queen quickly poked her head out, and said to the guard holding the horsewhip, "Quickly, bring the water bottle."

It was the first time for Su Mingyue to suffer from heat stroke, she only hated herself for being useless, so that she would not miss the empress' important affairs.The queen fed her water and ate Huoxiang pills to relieve summer heat, opened her neckline again, and untied the straps of her obscene clothes, and when she was about to take off her underwear, Su Mingyue blushed and covered her chest.

Seeing that she was still busy and shy, the queen said: "You are a woman, and I am also a woman, what are you afraid of?"

"The curtains are still open."

The queen said: "You are in the car, and the attendant is underground, and I can only see the top of your head when I look over."

Su Mingyue was still blushing, the maid's attire and her hair had to be coiled up, and she didn't even have a strand of hair to hide her shame, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

Seeing this, the queen could only sigh, and unhurriedly took off her clothes, just like Su Mingyue, leaving only a green and white embroidered gold bellyband, almost bare chested and backless, she shook her folding fan and nodded , "Sure enough, it's much cooler."

Su Mingyue didn't dare to answer, she just shook the round fan, and then shook the round fan again, feeling dizzy in her head, she didn't know if it was caused by the heat.

"Concubine Hui left so many wounds on your body, are you ready to take revenge?" The queen saw that from her neckline to her wrists, there were not a few inches of bare skin intact, and there were bruises and purple spots everywhere. down.

"Mingyue has been with the empress since then, and she is completely different from her. She is her favorite concubine in the harem, and we go to the enemy camp to capture the thief and the king. What is this little injury and pain?"

"Promising!" The queen was overjoyed, "There are still several days to cross the Yellow River from here, so don't be overwhelmed."

After traveling for several days, we finally arrived at the bank of the Yellow River.

At about noon, a group of people were on their way to Kaifeng Mansion, when they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes rushing in front of them, which made the Empress Dowager stand in front of the phoenix chariot, stopped the team, and then got off the horse, "Welcome to the Empress Dowager, Your Highness the King of Liao, please take the Empress Dowager The waterway, the emperor will meet the queen mother on the boat. The queen mother please."

Su Mingyue was startled, the emperor was of course not referring to Emperor Hongxi, but Emperor Huiwen, the empress dowager's own son.Why did the King of Liao decide to meet on the boat instead, so their plan must be completely negated?

Liang Guanjing's folding fan beside him swayed loudly, his clothes fluttered, and the blue silk danced. At the fork in front, the car turned around and took the left road to the pier.Su Mingyue didn't dare to vent her anger, for fear of interrupting Liang Guanjing's thinking.

After walking for half a day before seeing the waterway, Liang Guanjing closed the folding fan, dressed in a leisurely manner, then lifted the curtain of the car, and jumped out of the car nimbly.Su Mingyue thought that she was going to rush forward to help the Empress Dowager get out of the car, but saw that she didn't walk away in a hurry, but turned around and stretched out her hand to him, her mouth was full of concern.

"Are you feeling better? Come on, I'll help you out of the car."
