Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 362 No Results

Even at the beginning of last year, on the grounds that Zhang Wumeng bewitched the emperor and made the emperor's condition worse, she resisted all opinions and forcibly set two bans against the Taiping Sect, but the emperor still trusted Zhang Wumeng.And the secret of this is unknown even to her today.For more than a year, she tried her best to investigate, even asked the emperor, but to no avail.

Just now, the emperor saw the excitement and intimacy shown by Zhang Wumeng, which made her very upset.Especially just now when she asked Zhang Wumeng to come up with the Taipingjiao cultivation method, Zhang Wumeng refused in silence, but when the emperor spoke, the latter agreed without hesitation after asking the situation clearly.This made her even more unhappy.

Empress Xiao walked to the side of the palace, and a green tree slowly hung down its branches, gently resting on the black eaves corners, which complemented each other beautifully.

Empress Xiao lowered her head and fell into deep thought with her hands behind her back.

After a while, she raised her head, with a confident smile on her face, but she turned her feet and walked up a mountain road on the right. At the end of the mountain road, the sound of a waterfall could be faintly heard.There are hills and waterfalls in the imperial palace. Such imperial palaces are extremely rare in the Central Plains and southern countries.

The eunuchs and maids beside her hurriedly followed in silence.

After a few turns on the mountain road, I came to a green platform by the cliff, and there was a pavilion on the platform.

Empress Xiao pointed to the pavilion, and the eunuchs and maids beside her immediately rushed over, placed the embroidered pier, lit the fragrance, and cleaned the dust.

Empress Xiao walked into the pavilion, looked at the stream under the pavilion, and stood by the fence facing the cliff flowers and plants, and suddenly ordered: "Everyone withdraws, everyone withdraws."

The eunuchs and maids in the pavilion looked at each other, thinking that the rocks are cold, if His Majesty catches the cold, they will not be to blame for their death a hundred times.

But they knew that the current Khitan is already decided by the queen. Although the queen is a woman and young, she is extremely determined. The soldiers went south and fought a battle with the Song State. Although the Northern Han Dynasty was still captured by the Song State, she took the opportunity to firmly control the army in her own hands. Then she presided over several major changes in the court. The killing was decisive, and nearly one-third of the ministers and ethnic group leaders in the imperial court were killed by her and shut down.

Today, the young Empress Xiao has completely controlled the Khitan court.The ministers of the Khitan court no longer dared to look at her the way they first looked at women.

After the eunuchs and maids left, the pavilion immediately returned to its usual quietness when no one was there.

Empress Xiao stood by the fence and took a deep breath. She loved the emperor deeply, and everything she did at the beginning was to help her husband, the current emperor of Khitan, control this huge country.

However, as she sat in the emperor's position for more than a year, doing what the emperor did, and enjoying the ninety-five-five-year status and power enjoyed by the emperor, she has been deeply addicted to it, and she can't even extricate herself.

However, what if the emperor recovered from his illness?She is bound to stay behind the scenes again, to be a queen who can only stay in the deep palace, to fulfill her role as a queen.

Every time she thought of this, she felt a little panicked and unwilling.Of course, there are also hidden contradictions deep in my heart that I dare not reveal.Because, although she was addicted to drugs as the Ninth Five-Year Lord, she still loved the emperor deeply.

Thinking of Princess Haoyue's proposal just now, she whispered to herself: "Let Zhang Wumeng give Haoyue the cultivation methods of the Taiping Sect, let Haoyue go to the Song Kingdom to invite that ghost doctor, regardless of whether the ghost doctor can be accepted in the end." Please come, whether His Majesty's illness can be cured, I have tried my best."

Empress Xiao's brows gradually relaxed, she vaguely thought of something, and said softly: "What's more, if the emperor is dead, I need a son to control this country in a legitimate way, but how can your majesty give this palace the right to do so? a son."

Princess Yongqing only hopes that the waterway of Wuyue Kingdom will never reach the end, but even though the journey is long and slow, she will finally arrive one day.

Ye Chen and his party sneaked onto the official ship just after the three imperial envoys from the Song Dynasty passed through Suzhou, but Princess Yongqing was already tired of the boat and wanted to go ashore by land.As soon as Ye Chen gave an order, he took people ashore ahead of time. Qian Hongchu, the leader of Wuyue Kingdom, reacted quickly, and soon sent troops to meet him.

It was Qian Zhiyin, the eldest son of Wuyue Kingdom, who brought people to welcome him. When he saw Ye Chen, he was very enthusiastic and thanked him endlessly.According to court rituals, before getting married, he and the princess could not meet each other, so he just bowed to the princess from a distance.

When the princess heard Qian Zhiyin's arrival, she secretly looked around in the carriage, and was overwhelmed by the latter's handsome face and extraordinary demeanor with just one glance. The so-called love at first sight is exactly like this.

The elder son Qian Zhiyin, apart from saluting the princess's carriage from a distance when he first arrived, didn't pay any attention to the princess, nor did he intend to see the princess's face in advance.On the contrary, when this son saw Ye Chen for the first time, he seemed to hit it off with Ye Chen. His eyes were frighteningly bright when he looked at Ye Chen, and he was as affectionate as a friend and confidant for many years. When facing Ye Chen, he had endless words. It didn't bother Ye Chen very much, but he could only forcefully smile and chat with Qian Zhiyin.

Speaking of chatting, Qian Zhiyin seemed to be full of infinite curiosity about everything about Ye Chen, which was similar to Princess Yongqing and the little prince Zhao Defang, but it was different in detail.The Yongqing siblings were curious about Ye Chen's legendary deeds.But this prince is obviously interested in Ye Chen, to be precise, very, very interested.

Ye Chen, who saw Qian Zhiyin for the first time, was also surprised by the peerless appearance of the eldest son Qian Zhiyin. Ye Chen asked himself that he had seen a lot of handsome guys on screen under makeup, beauty, and plastic surgery techniques in later generations, but he had never seen such a beautiful man. .That's right, Qian Zhiyin's appearance can only be described by the word beautiful, even words such as handsome and handsome are not enough to express Qian Zhiyin's beauty.Forget about that appearance, the smooth and tender skin is really not what a man should have. Under Ye Chen's perceptive eyes, he even found that Qian Zhiyin's skin has almost no hairs on his skin. Ye Chen swore that most of the No woman has such good skin.

If he hadn't seen that the prince of Wuyue had a real Adam's apple and no two steamed buns on his chest, Ye Chen would really have suspected that Qian Zhiyin was a woman disguised as a man.

"Why is this prince of Wuyue born so beautiful? It's almost a monster..."

Passing by Taihu Lake in the evening, under the arrangement of Qian Zhiyin, the group lived in a palace of the Wuyue royal family next to Taihu Lake.

There are maids in the palace to serve the basic necessities of the Song people. The Song people from the north feel very different after experiencing it.

In the gazebo next to Taihu Lake, four handsome and beautiful young people sat facing each other. Ye Chen's left hand was Yu Qingyan, who poured tea herself, and her right hand was an extremely handsome young man who was Princess Yongqing's female disguised as a man.Opposite Ye Chen is Qian Zhiyin, the heir of King Wuyue, who is so handsome that he doesn't look like a man.

Ever since Princess Yongqing met Qian Zhiyin, she was fascinated by the latter's appearance and temperament, and even lost the girl's reserve. Ye Chen's ideas are naturally different from the conservative feudalism of this era, and Yongqing begged him twice , he ignored the strong opposition of Deputy Envoy Zhang Mingqing, and agreed to Yongqing's request. It was only in order not to shock the world, and in order not to damage the face of the Song and Wuyue royal families, that's why he disguised himself as a woman.

Four maids with charming smiles and sweet smiles stand in the four corners of the gazebo.Ye Chen and Qian Zhiyin talked very happily, and Yu Qingyan and Princess Yongqing interrupted occasionally.

The four tasted all kinds of local delicacies in Suzhou and Hangzhou and the authentic West Lake Longjing.At this moment, Qian Zhiyin said with a smile: "So, Wu Nong speaks softly, sweet and waxy, we are used to it, but people from other places say it is really nice, we Suzhou and Hangzhou girls always speak They are soft-spoken and sweet, and I have heard someone say that listening to them quarrel is a kind of enjoyment."

Ye Chen remembered the scene of traveling to Hangzhou in later generations, smiled, nodded and said: "What the prince said is very true, I have actually been to Hangzhou once, but it was many, many years ago...uh...before, following my own The master passed by in a hurry, but he never tasted the small folk customs in the streets and alleys of Hangzhou."

Princess Yongqing gnawed on the crab, and hearing what they were saying, she couldn't help snorting coldly: "Ye Chen! You said that you were escorting this princess this time, but I think you are mobilizing a large number of people to come to Wuyue Kingdom. You have business to do, right?" Even this princess knows that the demon monks of the Maitreya Sect will definitely seize the opportunity to assassinate you. You see, you are sitting here eating, and there are nearly a hundred bodyguards standing by the shore. Could it be that when you arrive in Huaibei, Hangzhou, you will bring hundreds of bodyguards? Do you want to go to the alley to listen to other girls chatting?"

Ye Chen felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and glared at Princess Yongqing, thinking that the people taught by Maitreya would not only assassinate me, but also you, the princess of the Song Kingdom, and these people are not standing here mainly to protect you.

Yu Qingyan smiled slightly.Qian Zhiyin looked at Ye Chen interestingly. Although Yongqing was talking to Ye Chen, most of his attention was still on Qian Zhiyin.

Qian Zhiyin quickly changed the topic and said: "Actually, Brother Ye went to Hangzhou, apart from business, of course, to see the scenery and appreciate the scenery of the Jiangnan water town. Speaking of scenery, we will arrive in Hangzhou tomorrow. There are many unique scenery in Hangzhou. The top ten scenic spots are the West Lake. There are many legends about the scenery beside the West Lake, and the most famous one is the imperial concubine." But he pretended not to hear what Princess Yongqing said about Maitreya teaching assassins.And because of the presence of the two girls, Yu Qingyan and Princess Yongqing, they dare not talk about the characteristics of Jiangnan women, and instead tell some interesting stories.

It turns out that the Leifeng Pagoda that Ye Chen is most familiar with was built by Qian Hongchu, the leader of Wuyue Kingdom, and it was not called Leifeng Pagoda at this time, but Huangfei Pagoda.According to Qian Zhiyin, it was built by his father, Qian Hongchu, ten years ago to commemorate a concubine Huang who died of illness, so it is called Huangfei Pagoda.

Ye Chen remembered that when he traveled to Hangzhou in later generations, the tour guide seemed to have mentioned this passage, and now it is exactly what Qian Zhiyin said that it was built ten years ago.It was indeed called Huangfei Pagoda at first, not Leifeng Pagoda.As for the myths and ghosts of Xu Xian and the White Lady, they have not yet appeared.However, this did not affect Ye Chen's whim, and used the Huangfei Pagoda as the prototype to tell this story.
