Chapter 178 New Home
In the imperial city, several battle scars on the square in front of the hall have been repaired overnight and restored to new.

Outside the Taihua Hall, hundreds of courtiers dressed in various court uniforms filed out from the Thousand-step Corridor, discussing how to deal with the case involving King Wu yesterday in small groups along the way.

Behind the Taihua Hall, a guard of honor of hundreds of people surrounded a royal chariot of the emperor and walked towards Changle Palace.

On the imperial chariot, the Great Wei Empress in a black and red dragon robe, with her left leg resting on her right leg, revealing her red palace shoes and white ankles, her elbow resting on the armrest to support her side face, her sitting posture is a little lazy, her grandeur He has a proud figure, but exudes a different kind of domineering like a king.

The twelve jade algae hanging down from the crown covered the empress's soft and unparalleled face. The eyes that were so deep in the court hall that they seemed to be able to read people's hearts were now in a trance.

The rebellion of the vassal king is a big deal, but with Wu Wang's strength, he can't make waves at all. With a reasonable reason, he can be crushed to death with a snap of his fingers, which is not a big deal in the eyes of the empress.

She was rescued by a male hero last night, and she also saw how the beauty bathed. It was a big deal for a woman, but the empress was not an ignorant little girl, and she was not shy and timid because of it.

At this moment, he was distracted, thinking about how to break the situation next.

There is more than one King Wu who has different intentions in the Great Wei Dynasty. Outside, there are Beiliang staring at him, while inside, there are kings with ulterior motives. There are countless rebels, big and small, such as green bandits and Pingtian religion.

But the empress never regarded these as difficulties. From the day she took this position as her daughter, she knew that she had the ability to eliminate all disasters in sight, leaving only a prosperous and prosperous world with no more soldiers .

But it takes time to do this, and only by living can I accomplish everything in my heart; the dilemma she faces is only her own body.

If you want to live a long time, you have to find a way to find the five lost pictures of Minglong, and heal your physical flaws caused by touching taboos.

But she couldn't run all over the world to find Minglongtu by herself.

Although master Xuanji is powerful, he also secretly helped her find it, but luck in finding Minglongtu is more important than strength.

First of all, you have to be quite lucky to find the clues; then rely on the extraordinary detection and tracking ability to find the whereabouts; and then rely on the unparalleled martial arts to snatch it.

These three points, the link of strength, are the simplest conditions.

Ye Jingtang seems to meet these three conditions, but obviously there is no reason for her sister-in-law to go through fire and water.

If you want to arrange this important task, you have to find a way to get closer and establish a deep friendship beyond the difference between monarchs and ministers.

But after coming out like this yesterday, if they get closer, they might be dragged to the dragon bed.

What is established is not a pure friendship, but a very strange relationship.

A dignified female emperor, relying on beauty tricks to capture a man's heart, so that a man can do things for her, is not the way she should act.

As an emperor, you should use your absolute charisma to make your subordinates swear allegiance to the death.

Yesterday, he shot Eunuch Cao down with a single shot, and Ye Jingtang's eyes were filled with admiration and admiration for his peerless demeanor.

But he didn't hold on for a few breaths, so he broke his merits on the spot, his image plummeted, and all the hairless things were discovered.

A hairless phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, and a hairless tiger certainly does not look majestic and domineering.

How could this make Ye Jingtang surrender in awe...

The empress was sitting on the imperial chariot, and she didn't know what she was thinking about. Just when she returned to Cheng'an Hall, she heard the voice of the palace maid Hongyu:

"Empress Dowager, the Holy Majesty is back, you should change your clothes first, it's almost noon..."

……

The empress came back to her senses, stepped down from the imperial chariot, let the palace people retreat, and entered the palace unhurriedly.

The palace was empty, and the palace people had already been kicked out by the empress dowager. In the dormitory near the lake, Hongyu stood in front of the dragon bed, softly persuading her.

The empress dowager folded her hands on her waist, sitting upright on the edge of the dragon bed, with a very vivid expression - puffed cheeks, big foggy eyes, obviously very angry!

The empress knew the reason, she didn't wake up naturally this morning, but was kicked off the dragon bed by the empress dowager who was awakened from a nightmare.

Then the empress dowager huddled in the corner of the bed and hugged her knees, as if she had been humiliated, she still didn't dare to say what happened.

Based on that reaction, the Empress reckoned what Ye Jingtang really did last night, the Empress Dowager would also be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, so she dared not speak out.

The empress was afraid that the empress dowager would be upset, so she specifically explained to the empress dowager that she was the one who called Ye Jingtang, and she had a secret errand to explain, so she told the empress dowager not to take it to heart.

Then the Empress Dowager couldn't hold back any longer, she felt wronged and sued her, accusing Ye Jingtang of atrocities, and wanted Ye Jingtang to enter the palace for interrogation.

The empress definitely didn't agree, she declined to shirk, the empress dowager lost her temper, and sat here all morning without eating or changing clothes, as if the palace was about to go on a hunger strike.

The empress entered the dormitory, spread her arms, asked Hongyu to take off her dragon robe and crown, and said softly:
"It's already noon, the queen mother should go eat, don't starve."

The empress dowager got up and pushed the red jade out, and helped the empress undress, her eyes were very wronged:

"How can I be in the mood to eat? Ye Jingtang sneaked in. Even if the Holy One secretly summoned me, after finding out about me, I shouldn't have covered my mouth and knocked me out... I'm a dignified empress dowager. His Majesty didn't care about his behavior, if it were Liren, he would definitely help Ben Gong to discuss..."

The empress comforted: "I have already reprimanded him, he is afraid of disturbing the palace people, so he has no choice but to faint the queen mother."

The empress dowager didn't think so, she hesitated a little, and said in a low voice:
"It's helpless, but what did he do, I have to ask clearly, right? When he knocked out Bengong, the Holy One was not there, and there were only Bengong and him in the room. No one would know...they dared to knock Ben Gong unconscious, and by the way, kiss and touch..."

The more the Empress Dowager talked, the more wronged she became.

The empress was asleep at the time, and she didn't know if Ye Jingtang did anything, but judging from Ye Jingtang's attitude towards her, she would not do any outrageous things, and explained softly:
"As soon as he knocked out the queen mother, I came back. I don't have time to offend the queen mother."

The empress dowager raised her hand and tapped twice on the empress' collarbone:
"Isn't this offensive? This place is something a man can touch? And he covered Bengong's mouth so tightly..."

The Empress put on the belt of the red dress, but compromised: "It was my lack of consideration that surprised the Empress Dowager. How is the Empress Dowager going to punish him?"

The empress dowager's red lips parted slightly, and she really wanted to vent her anger, but thinking of Ye Jingtang taking her to explore the tunnels the day before yesterday and protecting her with all her strength, it seemed that she couldn't do anything...

"He is the Holy One... No, he is Li Ren's or something, the Holy One called him in the middle of the night..."

The empress raised her hand slightly, her gaze was serious:
"This matter is related to the fate of the Great Wei Kingdom, and the Empress Dowager must not spread it to the outside world. If I am interested in Ye Jingtang, I can openly call into the palace to accompany me. If I can make Li Ren a king, how can Li Ren let my sister?" Beg but not feel dejected."

The empress dowager thought about it, and with the character of an empress, if she wanted to sleep at night, there was really no need to be sneaky, so she continued:
"He is the Holy Majesty's favored minister. If I punish him, the Holy Majesty is in a dilemma. This matter... I just don't care about him, but the Holy Majesty has to let him know that it is the Palace who did not punish him, not the Holy Majesty. Let him go and tell him not to make an example."

The empress nodded slightly: "I will tell him that he will not be allowed to set foot in the Fushou Palace in the future, and avoid the Queen Mother in advance, so as not to make the Queen Mother angry."

?

The empress dowager felt that if the empress said this, she would never see Ye Jingtang for the rest of her life. Although she was meaningless, it was completely unnecessary.

"No, I just pretend that this matter never happened."

The empress dowager's complexion softened a bit, and she changed the subject:

"When will Master Xuanji come over? The Holy Majesty has been busy with government affairs, and he wished he could follow Ye Jingtang from morning till night. Yesterday, he promised to pick up the palace, but he forgot when he turned around, and he didn't even say hello..."

"Realist Xuanji comes here every autumn, it's already June, it's coming soon. When the real Xuanji comes, I will let her accompany the Queen Mother to go out and have a good time for a while, and private visits to Wutong Street in the middle of the night are fine."

The Empress Dowager looks forward to the pastimes when her girlfriends come over every year. Hearing these words, even yesterday's anger subsided a bit:

"His Majesty urged her. She has been cultivating in Yuxu Mountain for many years, and she has not seen any tricks in her cultivation. Coming to the capital is not the same as meditating."

"Know it."

……

----

It was noon, and the scorching sun in midsummer in June turned Yun'an City into an oven in an instant, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.

Ye Jingtang rode a horse and walked along the street under the shade of trees, covering Niao Niao's eyes with his hands, still studying Ting Feng Zhang.

Listening to the Wind Palm uses the sense of touch to perceive subtle fluctuations, which is not only useful for people.

In the past, Niao Niao would shake his head and brain when his eyes were blindfolded, but today he found that whenever it swayed, Tangtang's hands would follow.

After being unable to shake it again and again, it also aroused Niao Niao's fighting spirit!
Niao Niao didn't move at first, then suddenly poked his head, and even "chirped!" to release false information about the enemy's attack, disturbing Ye Jingtang's attention, and thus made a sneak attack.

Ye Jingtang teased Niao Niao, and came to Ranfang Street first.

The rebuilding speed of Ranfang Street is very fast, and now it can be regarded as a new look, but it is still under renovation and no merchants have settled in.

Ye Jingtang came to the depths of Shuanggui Lane and didn't come back for a few days, and the courtyard didn't change much.

Although she is about to move and change to a bigger house, Luo Nvxia hopes to keep the place where the two met for the first time and open melons. This yard is still bought, and the objects inside have not been touched, so that they can be with Luo Nv in the future. The hero came to recall the past.

Ye Jingtang opened the door of the main room, and took out the picture of a "hawker buying chicken" hanging on the wall. Thinking of the painter who just provoked this painting yesterday, he felt pressured in his heart. After carefully scrolling, he took a few more Daily objects, turn back to Tianshui Bridge.

Sanniang helped him build a house, it must be a little selfish, the new house is only half a small street away from the Pei family's mansion, the distance is very close, it is close to the Nanxun River, the east side is the viewing corridor facing the river, and the front is the walking path leading to the stone bridge The small street is surrounded by willow trees, and the environment is extremely elegant.

Ye Jingtang led the horse to the gate, and it could be seen that there were a lot of Tianshuiqiao's men inside, busy in the house, cleaning or placing furniture.

In order to satisfy Luo Nvxia, the house is in the style of Jiangzhou, with gardens on the east side and most buildings on the west side. The layout is compact. The back house is divided into four small courtyards, and there is a two-story embroidery building where the lady lives in the east. Visually, it is not a problem to live with dozens of people including the master and the maid.

It was the first time Yejingtang came here, and I really didn't expect Sanniang to build such a big house in the capital where every inch of land is expensive. After walking around in it, I finally found Sanniang in the big garden on the east side.

There is a small lake in the middle of the garden, with a small stone bridge on it. Behind the stone bridge is a pavilion, and the original east wall, because it is facing the river, has been built into a row of houses. After entering, there are viewing corridors and other buildings.

Sanniang was sitting on the small stone table in the pavilion, with the ledger in front of her, and she was checking it carefully, while Xiuhe was helping, looking like a lady in charge of the house.

Ye Jingtang walked across the small bridge, came to the pavilion, and said with a smile: "Sanniang, this house is probably a bit big, and there are only three of us including Luo Nvxia and the others. Just cleaning up will have to make them both tired." .”

Seeing Ye Jingtang coming, Pei Xiangjun remembered what happened last night, his face was still on fire, he turned slightly, dignified and dignified, buried his head in the settlement, and spoke calmly:

"Who knows how many girls you will bring back in the future, if you don't buy a bigger one, what will you do if you can't live in it in the future?"

Xiuhe was enthusiastic, holding a small round fan, got up to let Ye Jingtang sit down, helped fan the wind beside her, and said with a smile:
"The young master will live here in the future, so I don't need to clean it myself. There are many maids in the house. They think the young master is nice and have no airs. They all want to come and serve them. Now they are drawing lots. Only those who win can come. I will be the housekeeper for the young master in the future. The young master will not dislike it. Bar?"

Ye Jingtang looked at the lovely and graceful Xiuhe, as happy as if a new official had just taken office, a little funny:
"Why would I dislike it, but you ran away, what will San Niang do?"

Xiuhe sat down in front of her, and said proudly: "Those who can do more work, I'm running around now, waiting for Sanniang to live in..."

"Xiuhe!"

Pei Xiangjun raised his eyes and looked at Xiuhe, as if preparing to clean up the house.

Xiuhe blinked her eyes, knowing she had made a slip of the tongue, she put down her fan and got up and said, "Then what... I'll go outside and have a look, the young master will talk first." After saying that, she ran away.

Ye Jingtang picked up the fan and fanned Sanniang who was sitting sideways on the stone bench. He raised his eyes and saw that Sanniang was lighting up her masculine lip balm, her hair was combed meticulously, and there was also a sparrow tail hairpin he gave her. , although he seemed to be serious when he buried his head in writing, but he glanced at him from time to time, and then quickly retracted it, obviously something was on his mind.

Ye Jingtang took a look around the garden and said, "The house is too big, there are few people living there, it's weird, or Sanniang can live here too."

Pei Xiangjun's eyelashes moved slightly, and he glanced at Ye Jingtang, but he didn't understand what Ye Jingtang meant, and his heart was a little complicated.

Last night she fell naked into Jing Tang's arms, and even sat down. Although she was embarrassed, she still figured it out, and it was just an accident.

But before falling, she and Hu Meizi were chatting about very private things, they said everything that should be said, and Jingtang must have heard it all...

This is no different from expressing your feelings to Jingtang face to face...

Jingtang let her live here...

After taking a few glances at Ye Jingtang, Pei Xiangjun looked down at the account book, and said unhurriedly:

"I'm a young lady of the Pei family, so it's not suitable to live outside... But you are often away, and it's such a big house that no one cares about it. I'll discuss it with my aunt. If she arranges it this way, I'll come over; Mrs. If my aunt doesn't agree, just ask Xiuhe to come over and take care of her."

Ye Jingtang smiled, and nodded following the words:
"Sanniang has to tell my aunt well. I used to live in Liangzhou, and the yard was not as big as the stable here. I didn't have maids, and I didn't know how to housekeeper. Sanniang doesn't live here, let me be the head of the house, and come to help The servant girl is afraid that she will have to go to the house to uncover the tiles, so she will all sneak into my room at night."

Pei Xiangjun knew that this was the truth, Xiuhe was much more courageous than her, and asked Xiuhe to sleep next to Ye Jing Tang, and within three days, he would have to stage a "sleepwalking" scene of getting into the wrong bed.

"Got it. This house doesn't need to be tidied up. You can start the stove by moving the daily objects here. You can go and look around. I'm busy."

Ye Jingtang smiled lightly, without disturbing Sanniang, got up and took Niao Niao to look at the new nest in the future...
