After becoming the villain

Chapter 155 "Huaqing Yaochi" and "The Old Emperor's Perfect Preparations"

Yan House.

In Yan Wulu's gorgeous bedroom.

The huge bathtub is filled with heat...

The large and comfortable bed is covered by curtains.

The beautiful ancient screen is slightly unfolded, with various brocade clothes hanging on it.

Even on the floor made of ancient purple wood, there are various white linings for men and women scattered.

Yan Wulu was lying on his side on the gorgeous and spacious bed. He supported his head with one hand, and Zhang Chunhua's long black hair was entangled between the fingers of the other hand...

In front of him, there was that beautiful woman embracing each other naked.

"Sure enough, if we talk about the bathing place, it has to be the 'Huaqing Yaochi' in our Zhenbei Palace. It is much more comfortable."

Yan Wulu said calmly.

The "Huaqing Yaochi" he mentioned was a specially built huge hot spring pool in the Zhenbei Palace.

Huaqing Yaochi is a unique place in Zhenbei Palace.

It is said that 30 years ago, before she became Princess Zhenbei, Liu Mengyun was born with an inexplicable obsession with bathing.

Similarly, Yan Dong, who was not the King of Zhenbei at that time, followed his fancy and specially dug a hot spring pool, introduced flowers and woods, and inlaid jade bricks and stone sculptures in the former place of Zhenbei Palace to build an extremely luxurious jade pool, known as For - Huaqing Yaochi.

I heard about the Huaqing Yaochi.

There are rockeries and strange rocks around.

All kinds of exotic flowers and plants are planted all around, and the faint fragrance of flowers radiates out, mixes with the mist of hot spring water, and finally wraps around more than ten artificial stone pillars, forming a layer of faint fragrance.

In the center of the stone forest, there is a huge pool paved with white jade marble.

Around the pool, there are eight stone statues with horse-shaped heads of mythical beasts, which are the "Eight Horses of the North" recorded in the ancient books of Zhenbei Palace.

Its huge mouth opened wide, streams of pure white liquid continuously overflowed from its howling mouth, and finally poured into the pool.

Inside the pool is a pool of mellow-colored white water with flowers.

This pool of water is so pure and white that it looks like milk, and the eyes can't see the bottom at all, even if the warrior's spiritual consciousness is eroded, it will be rebounded and returned.Obviously it has magical powers attached to it.

The pool is half empty, and there is always a light mist lingering there.

There is also a slight scent of flowers in the mist, and it is obvious that the mechanics who built this pool have put a lot of effort into it.

And this was one of the many precious gifts that Yan Dong gave to Liu Mengyun that year - "Huaqing Yaochi".

……

Yan Wulu had actually always been thinking about the "Huaqing Yaochi" that his father built for his mother. It was gorgeous, rich, and unconventional, and it was extremely spacious and comfortable.

Presumably, even if dozens of people bathe together, there is no problem.

Of course, only Yan Dong and Liu Mengyun have used Huaqing Yaochi so far.

Yan Wulu only went in to take a look.

But haven't used it yet.

Suddenly, Yan Wulu seemed to have thought of something, and he turned to ask Zhang Chunhua next to him, "Chunhua, do you think that since my father built the Huaqing Yaochi specifically for his mother and concubine? Then, will he? …”

"... Or should I say that I once had an affair with my mother and concubine. In Huaqing Yaochi, my father and my concubine did what we just did in the bath together?"

When Zhang Chunhua heard this, he recalled all the previous events.

Although it was indeed very exciting, but it was too shameful, it still made her blush...

"Your Majesty, it's not good to speculate about the King and Princess in private." Zhang Chunhua replied with some embarrassment.

Yan Wulu looked at the person in his arms. He was so coquettish and proactive before, but now he has become so innocent again...

Sigh the changeability of women.

But he stopped asking, just put his hand on Zhang Chunhua's jade-red cheek, and slowly slid it down...

"Chunhua, you're right, we shouldn't speculate on them."

"...But after returning to the palace, Chunhua, please accompany me to Huaqing Yaochi."

Yan Wulu said, without much change in expression on his face.

He was thinking, it would be a pity if such a gorgeous and beautiful place was not shared with those around him.

"Prince." Zhang Chunhua's breath changed slightly because of the movements of Yan Wulu's hands, "...Prince, Chunhua is worried that if we go to Huaqing Yaochi, we will be disrespectful to the king and princess."

When Yan Wulu heard this, he didn't react at first.

After a while, I finally understood what Zhang Chunhua meant, and immediately laughed out loud...

He turned over, pressed forward, looked at the beautiful woman under him, and said, "I just want Chunhuayou to accompany me to see her, but I didn't say what I was going to do there."

"...Chunhua, what are you thinking about in your little head all day?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chunhua felt ashamed and angry for a moment, "Your Majesty, you...you bullied me again."

As he spoke, Zhang Chunhua subconsciously reached out and pinched Yan Wulu's waist hard.

Yan Wulu felt pain for a moment and snorted accidentally.

"Your Majesty, yes, I'm sorry!" Zhang Chunhua realized later that he seemed to have acted a little too wantonly.

I don't know since when, she began to feel a little pampered and proud in front of Yan Wulu... although she had always suppressed it deliberately.

"Oh, you're such a good girl..."

Yan Wulu seemed to be amused by the other party's actions.

He raised Zhang Chunhua's chin with one hand and said meaningfully: "...How dare you do this to your husband. It seems that I have to retrain you."

Feeling the opponent's movements with his body, Zhang Chunhua was secretly happy, but his face was blushing.

Yan Wulu came closer, spoke in a low voice, and whispered a few words.

This caused Zhang Chunhua to burst into thin laughter.

Yan Wulu felt the other party's movements, and felt more and more that this girl had no scruples - why was her style in bed so completely different from her usual style.

However, he liked it very much.

……

……

Inside Jinling City.

In recent times, there have been countless explosive news circulating in the market.

First, Daqianguo Temple and "Daxiangguo Temple" were provoked by a Western Yi Holy Buddha. Then Cao Xi, the Governor of Dongchang, fought against that Western Yi Holy Buddha here. The fierce battle even caused a giant Buddha to appear in the sky. elephant.

Later, the evil young man of the Zhang family who often did evil things in Jinling City bullied the friends of Prince Zhenbei, and was severely punished and beaten by Prince Zhenbei who appeared in time.

A fishing village on the outskirts of Jinling was massacred, bringing disaster to the Zhang family. Overnight, their home was confiscated and they were exiled.

Among all the news, the most popular one right now is the assassination at the "Jinling Poetry Club" yesterday.

At the "Jinling Poetry Meeting" hosted by King Yu yesterday, Jin King Zhao Lingcheng was attacked by an assassin. Moreover, it was an organized assassination involving multiple people at the same time.

This incident, exaggerated by some thoughtful people, caused a lot of noise for a while.

It seems that if the assassin is not caught and given an explanation, public resentment will boil over...

The common people lamented that assassins would appear in Jinling City, which had been peaceful for a long time.

Emperor Zhao Purui of Daqian was slightly surprised when he heard this.

He handed the matter over to Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui, who was in charge of the Jinyi Division, for verification, and asked Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui and Prince Jin Zhao Lingcheng to assist her.

As soon as this news came out, in the eyes of others, the emperor's doting on Princess Taiping had reached its peak.

It turned out that two famous Qizhu Princes were working for Princess Taiping at the same time.

But for Zhao Purui, he is more concerned about another thing——

His own daughter, Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui, even told herself that she had promised Yan Wulu to hold an engagement ceremony in advance!

This……

Some things were beyond Zhao Purui's expectation.

It's really a girl who doesn't stay in college!
As a father, he still couldn't figure out what his arrogant daughter was thinking.

She would actually be willing to have an early engagement with Yan Wulu, the man who had embarrassed her so much in Lanyue Tower?
Zhao Purui couldn't figure it out for a while. He thought that the other party would try his best to disrupt Huang's engagement this time.

The only explanation can only be that he, as an old guy, has outgrown the age of young people and cannot keep up with the pace of their emotional changes.

But no matter what, Zhao Purui has to rethink how to completely retain Yan Wulu.

According to the Daqian etiquette system, after the princess's engagement is completed, she can go to the prince's house with her husband.

Then, the wedding will be consummated.

But in this case, wouldn't it mean letting Yan Wulu go back to the north in vain?
Zhao Purui thought about it and started writing an edict. He felt that it was necessary to make complete preparations in advance.

Then, he called his attendants, went to Jinyi Division, and summoned someone urgently...

He thought about it, whether doing this would undermine the majesty of the royal family?

But then I thought about it - majesty comes from strength and will not disappear just because of such a trivial matter.

……

Jinling Palace.

Morning breeze.

Morning dawn.

A tall man, dressed in the uniform of the deputy commander in chief of Jinyi Division, looked about 50 to [-] years old, with a serious face, but hurried.

He suddenly received an urgent summons from the emperor.

For a while, I still didn’t know what the holy will was.

Led by several palace servants, the tall middle-aged man quickly rushed to the palace martial arts field.

……

Inside the Imperial Palace School Martial Arts Arena.

It was rare for the old emperor Zhao Purui not to be immersed in the mountains of memorials today.

Wearing a light yellow military uniform and holding a longbow, he practiced archery in the school martial arts field.

Zhao Purui is not proficient in martial arts.

But it is said that he has excellent bones and innate supernatural power. When he was young, Zhao Purui had the opportunity to cultivate and become a powerful warrior.

But at that time, Zhao Purui was flirtatious and playful. Compared with the boring practice of martial arts, he was more fascinated by "getting drunk in the land of beauties".

but……

At the request of the previous generation of emperors, Zhao Purui still learned some archery and horseback riding skills, and he is not ashamed of the "Six Arts of Gentlemen" (1).

"Natsumi."

Zhao Purui drew his bow and took aim, and asked: "...how many years have you been working in Jinyi Division?"

Zhao Purui's words were about the tall middle-aged man behind him who knelt on one knee and saluted, that is, the person who came in a hurry before.

Xia Hai, deputy commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Division and the most senior person in the Jinyi Division.

"Your Majesty, it has been 27 years." Natsumi replied respectfully.

"27 years..."

Zhao Purui said, thoughtfully.

"...I remember that almost when I established the Jinyi Division, you were already a small patrolman in the Jinyi Division, right? At that time, you followed me to Beidi. You still saved my life. gone."

"Your Majesty actually remembers the events of that year so clearly, I am flattered."

Xia Hai lowered his head, his words full of excitement.

"Hahaha, Natsumi, you can be regarded as an old minister by my side."

As the old emperor Zhao Purui said, he also shot an arrow from his hand, a hundred steps away, and hit the target.

Look comfortable.

Very easy.

He placed the long bow on the bow seat of the long desk beside him, then changed the topic and suddenly said: "...Originally, with your ability, merit and qualifications, you were more than enough to become the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Division, but unfortunately, Zhang Jian is, after all, a member of the Jinling family."

"...At that time, I needed to coordinate the overall situation, so sometimes, things that originally belonged to you, but I couldn't give them to you."

"... In recent years, I think you have often been squeezed out by Zhang Jian, and you have endured a lot of anger, right?"

Xia Hai was silent and did not respond.

Zhao Purui followed immediately and continued: "This time, I handed over the Jinyi Division to Lingrui. In fact, it was just for her to play with for a few days."

"...When she gets tired of playing, you still have to take the position of commander-in-chief."

"...Natsu Hai, you don't hold a grudge against me, do you?"

"I only think about Your Majesty." Xia Hai said directly.

Hearing this, Zhao Purui chuckled.

"Don't be so cautious. Just speak your mind boldly. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"What Wei Chen thinks in his heart is indeed so."

Natsumi said, thought for a moment, and then firmly added in answer——

"The fact that I was able to go from a small patrol to where I am today is all thanks to His Majesty's care, so I have no complaints."

"All right.",

Zhao Purui seemed a little helpless, "...Since you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

"...However, I should also compensate you. You have great achievements and abilities, but you have always been inferior to others."

"correct."

Zhao Purui seemed to suddenly think of something, and then said: "...I remember, don't you still have two proud disciples? It just so happens that this year's martial arts competition is about to begin, let them gain fame and title."
