Chapter 223

Shashasha~~
Fine raindrops sprinkled on the main street in the center of the city, and the shimmering light emitted by the pavilions along the street, rendered by rain and fog, made the whole street dreamlike, and the reflections of pedestrians and street scenes could even be seen on the ground.

Ye Jingtang held an oil-paper umbrella and covered Sanniang's head, admiring the rain scene which was completely different from the capital city, and the tense heartstrings of running in Wushan for several days slowly turned into a comfortable one at this moment.

King Wu's rebellion caused a lot of trouble. The people in the city were afraid that they would be trapped due to King Wu's closure of the city, and many of them escaped from the city. However, since the arrival of the imperial army, the situation has stabilized, and many people have returned to the city. Shops are opening one after another, although it is not as prosperous as usual, but the rainy streets and empty alleys also have a lot of charm.

I came out today for a private visit in a micro-service, and it can also be said to be shopping in casual clothes.

Dongfang Liren wore a prince's robe. Except for his overdeveloped chest muscles, he was very handsome in other aspects. He was holding a folding fan as if he was facing the wind.

The empress dowager was naturally dressed as a mother, followed by a servant girl. Her clothes had the charm of a housewife, but with her big eyes and a flamboyant face, she looked more like Dongfang Liren's elder sister.

The real person Xuanji is the most special. She is dressed as a scholarly young lady who has not left the pavilion, and is her apprentice's little lover. She wears a white gauze fairy dress with a flower umbrella in her hand. I have to say something about the beauty of a man.

Ye Jingtang also wore a prince's robe, and his appearance was too eye-catching. When he got close to him, he was either mistaken for Xuanji's best friend, or he was mistaken for the queen mother's little wolf dog. Mother followed behind.

A few people came out to play with the empress dowager. The empress dowager stayed in the palace for too long, and would stare at everything for a while. Instead of getting better, she became more and more sentimental. Carefree days when Miss.

Ye Jingtang showed his face and smiled, raised his arms and hugged Sanniang quietly, and lowered his head slightly to his cheek.

Pei Xiangjun was almost getting used to Luo Ning's small appearance, so he pressed her down and ordered:
"Jingtang, touch her, she will be obedient when she turns spring."

Dongfang Liren has seen a lot of fireworks, but for safety reasons, he has never been allowed to light them himself. Seeing this, he became more energetic, squatted down, took out the biggest one, and wanted to try lighting it.

"Go back and teach you secretly, so that no one can learn secretly."

Spring is born and autumn is killed. Autumn is the season when all things wither. Every year after autumn, the empress's body will become inexplicably weak. The reason has not been found yet.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang handed the lantern to Miss Xuanji who was watching the play next to her.

"Wow--"

The empress dowager quickly stood up straight, pinched Xuanji's waist, and then continued to watch Ye Jingtang.

Ye Jingtang hurriedly held down Big Benben, and motioned to the corridor above:
"This is a wooden bridge. If you burn it here, go down."

Ye Jingtang raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, feeling that something was wrong, he thought for a while and said:
"I'll set off immediately to see if I can hold Qiu Tianhe back..."

"uh-huh."

"Humph……"

In the dead of night, the people living in the Wangfu guest house had already rested. Ye Jingtang entered the courtyard corridor, and when he looked up, he saw the bird standing alone under the eaves, looking towards the direction of the city center and watching the fireworks set off by other people.

"The red and white wedding shop on the street, these things are all prepared in advance. I just started to make them. That's all. I bought them all."

Dongfang Liren suppressed distracting thoughts and walked into the corridor together:
"Just received the news that Qiu Tianhe is going to Junshantai to fight for the top sword. Qiu Tianhe was released suddenly, Junshantai must know that you have contributed a lot, and you have old friends in the past. You just killed Xuanyuan Hongzhi, and Qiu Tianhe is looking for his father to fight alone at this time ..."

Ye Jingtang was not that rude, he just moved closer and kissed the cold cheeks twice.

"The government can't contact Qiu Tianhe in a short time. When he steps into Junshan Terrace, he will be on the verge of death, and he will have no choice but to run away. I will come back immediately if I hold Qiu Tianhe."

Master Xuanji carried a lantern and walked around in lotus steps on the covered bridge. She wore a fairy dress with light gauze, and her appearance and temperament were amazing.

呲味~
The moment the flame touched, sparks shot out from the cannon.

What Immortal Xuanji can do is to search for the picture of the dragon calling all over the world on weekdays, and return to Beijing to protect his apprentice after autumn. Day after day, year after year, he has been searching for a full ten years.

Speaking of talking about a few big fireworks, I came to the relatively empty embankment on the side of the street.

"Ok?"

The empress dowager had fun, she didn't even care about being knocked out last time, her attitude towards Ye Jingtang was much better, and she even praised Ye Jingtang a few words along the way.

Seeing that there were too many people watching by the river, Dongfang Liren took the Queen Mother back to the palace.

Hongyu stood behind the empress dowager holding an umbrella, a little worried, and whispered:

slap~
Pei Xiangjun saw the coquettish attire of "the wolf's ambition is obvious", snorted softly, and patted:
"What are you pretending to be? Hurry up and serve Jing Tang."

Xuanji was leaning on the pillow, and when she was secretly worried, she suddenly heard a movement from outside:

With this situation, several people shook their heads secretly, but no one dared to laugh at Dongfang's cowardice.

Ye Jingtang has been to the harem many times, and knows the empress dowager's sufferings. Although she looks eccentric and loves to play, and holds grudges, the empress dowager can meet outsiders a few times a year and encounter several big and small things. If you have nothing to do all day and stay in confinement, I am afraid that you have already jumped over the wall and flew away.

"you……"

Seeing Ye Jingtang looking over, Pei Xiangjun blinked his eyes, a little puzzled:

Under the rain curtain, a flame shot up into the sky, flew to a height of tens of feet, and then exploded, sending out fireworks all over the sky.

Ye Jingtang stood under the eaves and watched, seeing several women looking up at the sky, his heart moved slightly, and he looked to the side in a blink of an eye.

Ye Jingtang couldn't help but stare at the two women who shouldn't be looking, shook his head and chuckled, and after making two more lanterns, he opened the other box.

Under the thin quilt, you can see the exquisite and graceful white body, the upper body is a hollow dress, and the bottom is bowknot trousers, which can't be covered by the moon.

After Ye Jingtang arranged the fireworks, he handed the fire folder to Benben:

"Little thief, how dare you! Believe it or not, I will go back to Nanxiao Mountain tomorrow..."

But Minglongtu depends on luck rather than strength. After so many years, she has only found clues to its existence. She has no idea how long Yuhu can last.

Pei Xiangjun grew up in the capital since he was a child, and he has seen many such human fireworks, and he was not as excited as the empress dowager, but just admiring the beautiful scenery with a gentle demeanor.

Seeing this, Dongfang Liren didn't try to be brave, he stepped back, hid behind Ye Jingtang, and covered his ears.

"Is something wrong?"

"Look, look, look..."

"These two days..."

Ye Jingtang shook his head and sighed, took Sanniang to the outside of the wing, and asked:
"It's getting late, you're still injured, it's better to rest early..."

Ye Jingtang held an oil-paper umbrella, walked out with Sanniang, saw that Benben was just talking about some historical allusions, and didn't know how to please the girl, thought about it, and searched around...
-
"This bridge has been 300 years old. When Taizu laid down Jianyang, he wrote a poem here because of his feelings..."

Luo Ning turned her head to hide a few times, but couldn't dodge, and finally resigned to her fate, closed her eyes and endured the humiliation...
-
It was early morning before I knew it, and the sound of cock crowing came from a distance:

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is still a month away. Where did you find it?"

It was daylight, and in an elegant courtyard behind the palace, all the lights were turned off in the rooms, only the two dim yellow lanterns under the eaves of the main room gave off a soft halo.

Master Xuanji will live in Beijing for a period of time every autumn. He explains to the outside world that he is visiting the empress dowager, but in fact he is serving as a guard to prevent the empress from encountering any accidents.

"A chief arrester from the Hei Ya came over to report just now, saying that he had heard some news from the rivers and lakes, and that Qiu Tianhe was going to fight in Junshantai..."

"It's just a firework. There's nothing to be afraid of. Come here, Ben Gong."

Aw~!

"Oh...huh?!"

"Already gone?"

Dongfang Liren put on his clothes and walked out of the room. When he saw Xuanji, he said:

Dongfang Liren knew that Ye Jingtang valued friendship, and if the unknowing Chou Tianhe was slaughtered by the angry Xuanyuan Chao because of killing Xuanyuan Hongzhi, Ye Jingtang would definitely feel guilty, so he walked quickly towards the courtyard. outside.

Dongfangli people thought that Qiu Tianhe was really unlucky. He turned his head and hit the muzzle of a gun the moment he was released from the Heiya dungeon. It would be better to lock Qiu Tianhe in the capital and deliver food.

Ye Jingtang saw the real Xuanji standing behind the empress dowager watching a play, and deliberately said "Pa!" to scare the empress dowager, without saying much, came to the street and stood with Sanniang under the eaves.

With the movement and movement, the noise of women, children, old and young suddenly sounded along the banks of the river.

"Don't move!"

Luo Ning must not cooperate, twisted her waist, and lightly elbowed Pei Xiangjun:
"What's wrong with you? If you're too busy, just fix it yourself... Take your hands away!"

Ye Jingtang tasted the big peaches presented by Ninger and Sanniang yesterday. He fell asleep a little bit. He woke up just now and didn't clean up the messy battlefield. How dare he let Daben see it, so he raised his hand to protect her and went out :

"Oh……"

When we got back to Prince Wu's Mansion, the night was already dark.

"Ning'er is still awake, let's go to the veranda and talk."

Dongfang Liren followed to the river, held up an umbrella for Ye Jingtang, and asked:
"Is this voice loud?"

Finding that Ye Jingtang came back, Niao Niao may be unhappy at being left at home, so she tilted her head and ignored him.

The empress dowager was sleeping inside wearing a thin bellyband, with a smile on her familiar face, she was probably dreaming of flying out of the palace and being free one day.

Back then, in order to force the palace to seize power, the Empress embarked on a road of no return. Although the matter was accomplished, the price of going against the sky has always remained on her body.

"I don't know, just light it up and you'll know."

The Empress Dowager blinked her eyes, took the little lantern with a smile and held it in her hand, and Hongyu fetched a torch to help light it.

Pei Xiangjun didn't believe that Hu Meizi could fall asleep by staying alone in the empty boudoir, so Mimi walked up to him and lifted the thin quilt slightly.

Flames shot up into the sky, and soon countless pedestrians from the neighborhood came to the riverside to watch the excitement. After experiencing a storm, Jianyang City also regained its usual vitality at this time.

Luo Ning trembled, seeing Ye Jingtang being so presumptuous, she wanted to get out of bed in anger.

"Eh..."

"Swords have no eyes, Qiu Tianhe took the initiative to come to the door to fight, which is equivalent to signing a life and death contract. Xuanyuan Chao kept his hand to emphasize martial arts, and he was really a killer. If he accidentally missed it afterwards, the government has no reason to punish him severely.

"Little thief!"

Master Xuanji had already woken up, so she got up, put on her clothes, and went outside the room.

Pei Xiangjun took off his shoes and got into bed, imitating what Luo Ning did last time;
"Jingtang, come."

"Mistress, be careful, back away immediately after lighting it up, this is scary to look at."

Only she knows about these imminent matters, she can't do anything but has nowhere to complain, and she can't give up this responsibility to outsiders, what should she do in the future...

Dongfang Liren came to the courtyard wall, and was about to call out when he heard movement from the main room.

dong dong~
"Your Highness? Your Highness?"

"Master, can Qiu Tianhe beat Xuanyuan Dynasty?"

After all, the Empress Dowager was born in a general family. Although she is not good at martial arts, it does not prevent her from being as talented as a general. Hearing these teachers tell historical allusions is a bit painful.

"What is this king afraid of? It's just a firework. Can something happen with Master around?"

The empress dowager was so startled that her shoulders trembled slightly, and she threw all the fire pockets on the ground. She quickly got up with her skirt up, hugged Xuanji's arm, and looked at it intently.

"After five knives?"

"This is a Taoist fairy art. If you want to learn it, you must first learn from a teacher."

The boxes are full of ruthless goods, about as thick as buckets, soaring firecrackers, star-studded fireworks, and so on.

Dressed up as a little daughter-in-law, Pei Xiangjun leaned against Ye Jingtang, and when he saw that Xuanji and the queen were both enlightening the queen mother, he felt a little sighed in his heart, and said in a low voice:
"The empress dowager is also pitiful. The late emperor passed away before he came to the capital. The palace servants of the late emperor's time were able to leave the palace after he ascended the throne. Those with children went to fiefs to enjoy the blessings, and those who had no fiefs returned to their hometowns to remarry. Only the empress dowager I can't leave, the sage has no concubines in the harem, and I live alone in the harem, just thinking about life makes me miserable..."

"You just killed someone, and you went to Junshantai at this time, didn't you throw yourself into a trap? Or should I send a message to Junshantai..."

Yejingtang bought quite a lot of fireworks, and they lined up by the river, and the empress dowagers lit them one by one. Dongfang Liren, emboldened by the empress dowager, also went up and lit two, and it took a full quarter of an hour before they were all set off.

"That means death is certain."

"Master, you didn't teach me this hand!"

If something happened to Yuhu, relying on Liren would not be able to control the civil and military kings of the Manchu Dynasty, and she said that Potian is only a warrior, it is easy to guard one person, but it is difficult to guard a country, and there is no way to influence the general situation.

The light of fireworks illuminates the street from time to time.

Li Ren obviously realized what would happen to Qiu Tianhe, who was the half-master of Ye Jingtang, if he came to provoke trouble when his son died, and there was a sound of getting up and putting on his shoes in the room.

The Empress Dowager stood under the umbrella, admiring the magnificent night view of the city, and seemed to be listening to Dongfang Liren's narration, but she was not very interested in it.

"I know, don't bother me."

Pei Xiangjun was slapped on the street just now, and he still hasn't recovered yet. When Ye Jingtang asked about this, he hesitated for a while, and generously dragged Ye Jingtang to Hu Meizi's room:
"You must be thinking about Shuangjiao Xiantao in your heart. If I rest, you still have to worry about it for half the night..."

On the covered bridge across both sides of the long street, Dongfang Liren's folding fan swayed gently, telling all kinds of deeds of the founding of the country; seeing that there were no passers-by around, Xuanji took off the wine gourd from his waist and leaned against the carved stone lion. Drinking wine on the fence.

Hongyu slept in the common room, and on the table not far away, there were lanterns, smiling face masks, rouge gouache and other messy objects, all of which were bought on the street, and they were regarded as souvenirs from a trip to Wuzhou.

……

The bedroom was quiet and there was no movement. Luo Ning was lying between the curtains, with her back to the door, she could only see the back of her head, she seemed to be asleep.

Soon, Li Ren's slightly sleepy voice came from the main room:

Ye Jingtang paused, then turned his head:

Dongfang Liren saw that the Empress Dowager was refreshed, and he didn't know whether to praise Ye Jingtang for being able to coax girls, or whether to say that Ye Jingtang even dared to coax the Empress Dowager.Seeing that Ye Jingtang made another lantern and handed it to her, she stood up a little bit, indicating her attire:
"This is something for girls to play with. What does this young man say?"

Ye Jingtang smiled at the corners of his eyes, sat in front of him, and tickled his fingers a few times:

Noticing that Ye Jingtang's eyes were weird, he glanced back at her, Dongfang Liren's expression turned cold again, he stood up straight and snatched the umbrella over, pretending to be as steady as Mount Tai:
"Go and stand behind, what are you doing here?"

Then the door opened, and Ye Jingtang, who was wearing a robe, came out of the room:
"Your Highness, why did you come here so early? What's the matter?"

blah blah blah...

"Fairy Lu, how did this happen?"

"Okay, rest early..."

After watching for a while, from the corner of her eyes, the empress dowager suddenly saw Ye Jingtang coming from the street carrying two boxes, with a mysterious expression on her face, she couldn't help but wondered:
"Yejingtang, what did you do?"

Because he had a female family member with him, Dongfang Liren arranged it very thoughtfully. There was a single house and no one lived in the surrounding area. No one heard what he did at night.

? !
Pei Xiangjun's expression froze, seeing that Jingtang was so bold that he was going to kiss her on the street, and there were people beside him, he must have been a little confused, but before he recovered, warmth came out from his red lips.

"It sounds like not yet, but the wind is blowing, and it's only these two days."

The Empress Dowager followed suit, but she didn't have that extraordinary lightness kung fu, so her spinning was a bit rough, but there was a lot of human fireworks, which had a special charm.

Master Xuanji saw the queen mother and the little girl sizing up her body, her round buttocks were quite seductive, and she made another old mistake, so she came up to her and squeezed them quietly.

"Woo~..."

Master Xuanji took the lamp over and showed off a skill. He flipped the candle lightly with his plain hand, and lit the candle with a sweep. Everyone around looked surprised.

?

Dongfang Liren fell under the eaves. He instinctively wanted to say the news that came just now, but subconsciously glanced into the room again. Unfortunately, the inside was the outside room, so he couldn't see how many girls were in the bedroom...

call out--

The empress dowager was taken aback, she covered her chest and looked around:

Luo Ning was indeed pretending to be asleep. After being patted awake, she turned her head and looked displeased:
"You don't take good care of your injuries, what are you doing here?"

"..."

The bedroom was very quiet, only three faint breathing sounds could be heard.

"Sleep, otherwise what else can you do?"

Relying on her domineering physique that she would never be beaten to death as long as she was not killed on the spot, the empress dowager was not cowardly. She covered her ears and waited for a long time. Seeing that Liren was useless, she trotted forward with her skirt in her hand:

While speaking, Pei Xiangjun gently opened the door and looked into the inner room.

call out--

"Cuckoo~"

"If you admit defeat quickly, you still have a chance to step down. If Xuanyuan Chao didn't talk about martial arts under the pain of losing his son, he shouldn't be able to escape the arena."

The real Xuanji lay flat beside her. Although she was usually cynical, when she dreamed back at midnight, there was still a faint melancholy on her cheek that outsiders could not see.

Ye Jingtang carried the box to the covered bridge and opened it—there were lanterns inside, and some of them had Mid-Autumn Festival blessings on them.

Dongfang Liren jumped onto the house lightly on tiptoe, walked straight through the large palace, and could see some old courtiers doing morning exercises in several guest courtyards, and the courtyard of Yejing Hall was lit up, and it seemed that they had woken up too .

"..."

Dongfang Li was tired from running around all day, so he didn't ask Ye Jingtang to work overtime, and Ye Jingtang finally got off work, and went back to the courtyard where he stayed with Sanniang.

But no matter how boring it is, being able to see scenic spots in other places is more interesting than staying alone in a daze between the palaces and pavilions. The Empress Dowager didn't intend to go back home, but just looked around, looking for objects that could arouse her interest.

Bang bang~!

The real Xuanji wears a belt and thinks a little:
"At the same level, Tianhe Dao can't beat the Dragon Slaying Token and the Eight-Step Crazy Saber. In the past, Qiu Tianhe could receive three swords at most, but now that his strength has improved, it should be no problem to receive five swords."

Pei Xiangjun's heart was in his throat, and his hands were curled up on his chest. From the corner of his eye, he carefully watched the women watching the fireworks, and slowly opened his red lips...
-
huh~
bang bang—

Ye Jingtang took out a small lantern from inside, hung it on a handle, put a candle in it, and handed it to the bright-eyed empress dowager:
"Give."

Dongfang Liren held a fire folder in his hand and wanted to light it, but when he saw the big firecracker thicker than her waist, he felt a little timid after all. After glancing at the waiting man, he cautiously moved to the fuse, put it together and put it away.

The empress dowager's eyes were also bright, and she raised her eyes together with Hongyu, and let out an astonishing whisper.

In the bedroom, two sets of gorgeous skirts hang on the screen.

"Your Highness is not afraid?"

"Go shopping."

Like the six accompanying courtiers, Ye Jingtang lived in the guest courtyard outside the palace.

The empress dowager held the lantern in one hand, squatted down carefully, and placed the fire pocket on the fuze.

Dongfang Liren was worried after all, thought for a while and said:
"Let Master go with you, with Master behind you, at least Xuanyuan Chao can't kill you, so be on the safe side."

Ye Jingtang thinks that his strength is not bad, but he is still a bit hypocritical when facing the sword leader who has been famous in the world for decades, so he didn't refuse. After speaking, he went back to the house and packed his clothes...

Thank you [Little Flying Carpet] for your rewards!
