Chapter 455 What? Did you... plant it for me?
Two more days have passed.
The autumn wind rises and falls, ruffling the shallow blue of the pool, shaking away the last ray of residual heat left by the scattered sun. The eunuchs outside the palace are already drowsy, but the people in Shujing Palace are still holding scrolls and writing notes.
Read something like "In the past, I left, and the willows lingered. Now I come to think about it, and the rain and snow are falling."
Phew.
As he stood up quietly, there was a figure in front of the door.
She frowned slightly and put down the book in her hand, as if she knew he was coming, more like she was used to this scene. She rolled up her sleeves and stood up, walked to the door, closed the door, and hugged the man's waist from behind.
"Your illness...is cured?"
"It's no longer serious."
Chu Pingsheng patted her hand and pulled her forward: " Miss me?”
"..."
Under the candlelight, Concubine Shu turned her face and nodded lightly.
"You're tired of being in the palace. Let's go, I'll take you out for a walk."
He held her hand and walked out.
"No...today...don't want it."
But she raised her head and took a peek, took his hand and walked to the head of the bed, sitting on his lap, taking off her clothes and taking off her clothes with her slender hands.
Chu Pingsheng looked at the imperial concubine who was taking care of him carefully, and joked: "Do you think, if I catch Li Yunqian and stuff him under the bed, will he be very excited?"
Concubine Shu shivered and looked shocked, but also felt a little bit ashamed, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and continued her previous actions, serving him on the bed.
An hour later.
Chu Pingsheng was so satisfied that he held the imperial concubine, who was full of poems and books, in his arms: "If you are so obedient today, you must have something to ask me for. Tell me."
"I heard... you are going to Qingyun Palace tomorrow to attend the celebration banquet held by His Majesty for Prince He."
"That's right."
"Ze'er will also go."
“You want me not to embarrass him?”
“He has been confined at home these days, copying the Shurangama Sutra you gave me every day. All the retainers in the mansion have been dismissed, and he can no longer Threat to you”
"You have to know that the problem now is that Fan Xian handed over the evidence that he and the eldest princess colluded with the Northern Qi nobles to smuggle into the hands of Li Yunqian..."
Concubine Shu stretched out her fingers and pressed his lips: " I heard that when the eldest princess left the city, no one in the imperial court dared to see her off, but you rushed to the south and picked her up halfway. "
"So, you think that as long as I protect her wholeheartedly, Li Yunqian will definitely give me face?"
"Yes..." Concubine Shu held his arm and looked into his eyes and said, "I only have such a son, and he can still see me often in Kyoto. , once I am sent to another place, if I am not summoned by the king, I am afraid that I will only have a chance to be reunited when I am about to die.”
“A son?” Chu Pingsheng joked: “Why don’t you give me another one. ? Then the Qing Palace will not be lonely. ”
Concubine Shu's soft body suddenly froze, and she looked at him with disbelief: "You...what did you say? Give birth to...one child?"
"Do you think I am joking? ?" Chu Pingsheng touched her smooth belly and said, "It was planted just now. I have to find someone to try the effect of the method today."
It was planted?
It’s planted!
Concubine Shu ignored the second half of his sentence. Her mind was filled with the words "planted". She was stunned for a long time. The smile on her lips became thicker and thicker, but in the blink of an eye her expression changed. Terrified, she struggled in his arms.
"No, this won't work...the child...can't have it."
"If I say I can, I can have it."
"This is the palace, if..."
< br>"Are you worried about Li Yunqian? Don't worry, he won't be able to eat this year's New Year's Eve dinner."
"!!!!!!"
"Are you going to... attack him?"
Chu Pingsheng kissed her soft fingers with a hint of scholarly fragrance: "There is a saying that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and there is another saying that it is on the side of the couch. Let others snore, Li Yunqian has been stalling for time, so why not me? The day of the decisive battle... is not far away."
Concubine Shu grabbed his hand and looked at him without blinking. .
"That's why I like those women who have read poetry and books best. Once they fall in love, they are dead-set." Chu Pingsheng turned over and pressed her down.
“Are you...still coming?”
"According to my intention, I want you to get the rain and dew equally tonight, but now I have changed my mind. I won't go anywhere tonight and will spend the night in your Shujing Palace."
"You mean... That Northern Qi saint?"
"No, the queen?"
"Emperor...the queen?"
< br>
"That's not true, it's just a bit unexpected, but...this is you."
Just imagine that in her life, she has been a concubine for twenty years and guarded an empty house for more than ten years. That little girl's feelings have long been lost. She was worn away by the life in the palace, and now out of thin air, she got a young man in his early twenties, strong and the best in the world, with thousands of articles in his heart, and he could also take her out of the palace to have fun, what else could he be dissatisfied with? Yes, jealous? Based on her conditions, is it worthy?
On this point, Concubine Shu is still very self-aware. "This is...me?"
She said with a smile: "The lustful mountain king from the west."
"Don't tell me, I quite like this nickname."
"..."
...
Jin Ge shines in silver armor and goes to the sky with me.
Qingyun Hall, as the name suggests, is the only hall in the entire Qing Palace that can compete with Taiji Hall, especially the three-story lobby, which is transparent from the north to the south, each with its own terrace. You can see white clouds, dogs, and the world behind. You can see the flat lake and green willows, and the garden atmosphere.
Today Li Yunqian held a banquet in Qingyun Hall to celebrate Prince He.
You must know that this is the first time Li Chengru has returned to Kyoto after the battle with Northern Qi.
On the left and right sides of the wide long road and long steps are majestic guards wearing armor, holding long spears in their hands, and holding sharp knives at their waists. The battle flags of the Qing Kingdom's border troops are fluttering in the wind in front of the hall, and they are making hunting sounds. The black dragon pattern seemed to come to life, showing its teeth and claws, and writhing up and down.
The size of this banquet cannot be compared with the Four Kingdoms Night Banquet in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, but the atmosphere created and the momentum displayed are much greater than the Four Kingdoms Night Banquet in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. This is not only because the Four Kingdoms Night Banquet is a celebration of peace. The banquet with Prince Li Chengru is the face of the army, and because it is for Chu Pingsheng to see. Ordinary people don’t know the situation in Qi State. How could people like Li Yunqian not know that today’s Qi State can make major decisions? The people here are not the mother and son sitting on the dragon chair and phoenix couch, but the master and apprentice Baifeng who has returned to Nanqing.
“The emperor really thinks highly of me after creating such a grand spectacle.”
Chu Pingsheng always wore a green shirt to cover himself, but today he rarely wore a black robe, a jade belt, a small crown, and a small plain purse hanging around his waist, which contained the melon seeds that the saint of the Northern Qi Dynasty loved to eat. Have you eaten it yet? Just go inside and pinch it a little, and she won't scratch it too much.
Along the way, I lost a piece of melon seed peel, which made the guards on both sides and the accompanying young eunuch angry. They dared to be angry but dared not speak out. There was nothing they could do to her.
Chu Pingsheng’s left It was the eldest princess Li Yunrui. She seemed to be afraid that the people in the palace would not recognize her. She specially painted her eyebrows and tied her temples. She wore a black skirt with a long back hem and a phoenix crown surrounded by pearls and jade. Her black hair hung down on her chest. There were actually two kittens, one black and one white, in his arms.
When a man and two women entered from the south gate, Qin Ye was talking to the Minister of Industry. When he saw the face of the eldest princess, his expression suddenly changed.
The decision to drive Li Yunrui out of the palace was made by Li Yunqian. Chu Pingsheng not only disobeyed the holy order and took her back to Kyoto, but also brought her to the Qingyun Palace to attend the banquet. This... was tantamount to slapping the emperor in the face in public.
"Master Qin, Shangshu Feng, you have always been kind."
Looking at her proud smile, she didn't look like she had lost power and was driven away.
"Oh, how are you, eldest princess..."
The two of them answered with a forced smile.
Li Yunrui smiled and meandered away.
Qin Ye glanced at Chu Pingsheng's back with resentment. This guy's master killed his son, but he looked disdainful to talk to him. It was really hateful.
Feng Yuzhang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was hesitating whether to find an excuse to escape, because just looking at Chu Pingsheng's posture, today's banquet... I'm afraid it won't be a good banquet.
At the same time, Chu Pingsheng climbed a few steps, but was stopped by Gong Dian.
"The eldest princess is not included in the banquet."
His voice was cold and businesslike.
"What if I have to ask her to go up?"
Chu Ping stretched out his right hand.
"Slow down later, I'm afraid that the speed of cracking melon seeds can't keep up with the speed of killing people."
Begonia Duoduo placed the peel of the melon seeds that she had just finished cracking in his palm.
Chu Pingsheng chuckled: "How could it be possible? Although the officials of the fourth rank and above are all in Qingyun Palace, killing them and the Qi army going south can wipe out everything, but I am in the same league with them, so I have to read it. It’s an old relationship, isn’t it? So... Deputy Commander of the Palace, oh no, now he is the Commander-in-Chief of the Palace. Let’s have a wonderful banquet. You don’t want your head to become a wedding gift from me to Prince He and the Princess of Northern Qi... Or do you think Ye Liuyun can save your dog’s life if he returns to Kyoto?”
"Master Chu, Master Chu..."
Hou Zhigang's voice came from the other side of the steps.
The old eunuch walked down from top to bottom: "Your Majesty saw the memorial, it was almost evening, so the palace commander..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet, Chu Pingsheng The skin of the melon seeds in his hand flew out.
How much weight can the melon seed peels that the Holy Lady of the Northern Qi Dynasty weigh after eating? But this kind of thing pierced Gong Dian's right eye like a flying knife and penetrated into his brain. He immediately fell on his back and rolled towards the bottom of the steps.
The guards on both sides took a look and raised their guns.
Haitang Duoduo threw away the melon seeds in her hand, and Chu Pingsheng waved his sleeves. The guards standing on both sides of the long steps suddenly fell to the ground. More than a dozen of them, none of them were alive, and they were all dead.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry at Changdao Station at the foot of the stairs was so frightened that his legs were so weak that he could not walk.
Qin Ye had seen large battles before, and his face was pale at this time, because he never thought that Chu Pingsheng would do such a thing, and there were already signs of rebellion.
“Oh, it’s okay, don’t be nervous.” Chu Pingsheng patted Hou Zhigang on the shoulder: “I just want to try to see if Ye Liuyun will jump out, and then kill him before the night banquet and send him away. A generous gift to His Majesty, and he has ignored so many imperial edicts. It would be better if this kind of dog who is not subject to the royal family is dead, isn't it... Believe me, I really don't regret His Majesty for not paying attention to my memorial. "< br>
These words sounded like they were spoken to Hou Zhigang, but the sound was loud and loud, like the sound of a big bell crashing, and could be heard throughout the palace and half of the northern city.
Who will believe that he does not hold a grudge? No one will believe that he does not hold a grudge.
Of course, the appearance of Jiye Liuyun is also one of his purposes.
It happened that Xin Qiwu, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and a minister of the Ministry of War turned in from the long corridor outside. When they saw the corpse on the long steps, they were so frightened that they froze up.
"Chu...Master Chu...you...are you...going to rebel?"
Xin Qiwu couldn't understand. He was fine when Li Yunqian ordered him to come to visit with supplements that day. He hadn't seen him for seven days, and the celebration banquet hadn't even started yet. Chu Pingsheng had killed the commander of the imperial guards?
