Chapter Five Ginkgo Tree
After confirming that the figure had gone away, Ye Xingtang put his knife back into the sheath, and his face turned solemn.
Regardless of whether the "Red God of Wealth" is an enemy or a friend, the battle just now really made him feel pressure.
In the past, he was the "No. 1 master" in a border town. He believed that his martial arts skills were also considered first-class in the world.
But after seeing the shooting skills of the "Red God of Wealth", he realized how big the gap between him and the world's celebrities was - it felt like playing chess. He wanted to smash the chessboard every step, but if he really smashed the chessboard, he could not change the fact that he was a bad chess game. There was no point in the chess power.
To put it simply, it seems that he has put his strength into the "knife handle" and has gone in the wrong direction.
Ye Jingtang was not surprised by this. He learned martial arts from his adoptive father, but his adoptive father did not teach real skills at all, which means that he learned all the "fake styles". If he could learn it correctly, there would be a problem.
This time I came here with a "friend". I may not be able to come to the door next time. Without advanced martial arts, it is definitely not a long-term solution...
Thinking of this, Ye Jingtang raised his eyes and looked towards the direction of the imperial city.
The Red God of Wealth said that he wanted to teach marksmanship, and it was impossible to regard this as a hope before he really learned it.
Even if the Red God of Wealth really wants to accept him as his disciple, he must leave some back-up to prevent being controlled by others.
As for this "backhand, trump card", it seems that only the "Songlong Picture" mentioned by the adoptive father.
Let’s not talk about immortality, the rumor of the world, the nine "Singing Dragon Pictures", as long as you succeed, you can become an ordinary person and far beyond ordinary people.
Although "The Dragon Singing Picture" is buried under a ginkgo tree in the 'harem', it is difficult to get it.
But when a woman is a woman today, even if she has a marriage, she is unlikely to live in the harem. In this way, the harem will inevitably be sparsely populated...
Even if the head of the palace lives in the harem, there are many handsome men in the harem, his appearance of "The Queen Mother chasing and feeding" seems not difficult to go into troubled waters to catch up with fish...
It is obviously not something that can be decided by just slapping your head. If you don’t understand the situation clearly, you can easily play yourself as “Concubine Ye”.
After staring at the direction of the imperial city for a long time, Ye Jingtang had no idea yet, so he kept the matter of "sneaking into the harem" in his heart, returned to the house and began to clean up the rubble and wood.
Not long after I cleaned up, the sound of horse hooves came out in the alley, and the sound of the old stoogee Yang Chao and the bird bird came:
"Young boss? Young boss?"
"Jijiji..."
"I'm fine."
Ye Xingtang clapped his hands, walked out of the yard, and looked at the escort rushing to help:
"I just came here and chatted a few casually, but I've left, and I'm in a false alarm."
Twelve corpses scanned the dilapidated alleys and frowned. Yang Chao advised:
"Young master, Sanniang is a good family. She has arranged a residence for each of us. Xiao Liuzi lives in a brighter place than you. Otherwise, you might as well go back, you are not familiar with the place in the capital..."
Ye Jingtang was not sure whether the "Red God of Wealth" was related to the Pei family. After a little consideration, he shook his head and said:
"It's okay, it's clean and you'll live in the habits. I really can't find a way in the capital. I'll visit the Pei family tomorrow and ask for an errand. Don't worry, go back early to rest."
When the escorts heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and immediately got off the horse gang Ye Jietang to clean up...
-----
Under the same night sky, the imperial city is in the inner world.
As night falls, the lights are on, and the palace lanterns are swaying in the wind under the eaves. The light passes through the prosperous branches and leaves of the big trees, leaving a small fan-like reflection of leaves on the white stone tiles.
Several palace maids in colorful clothes stood quietly in the corridors with lanterns with their heads hanging down.
Under the "Ginkgo Tree", which is thousands of years old, there is a swing hanging.
The young woman in a golden phoenix robe grabbed the swing rope with her hands and swung back and forth in the night, swinging very high, with gorgeous skirts and red embroidered shoes drawing a half-moon arc under the tree.
call……
call……
The night is quiet and the beauty is picturesque, but there is no voice at all, which makes the originally beautiful and moving scene show the loneliness of the "deep courtyard".
The wide and elegant beautiful courtyard looks like a carefully woven bird cage.
The young woman who was swinging alone on the swing was like a canary in a cage, trying to use the swing to make herself jump over the red walls and gold tiles and take a look at the outside world.
Step on...
After countless times of the swing, a sound of footsteps rang out from the corridor, followed by the respectful greeting of the palace maid:
"Meet Prince Jing."
The swing under the ginkgo tree slowly stopped, and the woman in the phoenix skirt turned her head and showed a handsome cheek.
Red lips and apricot eyes, and picturesque eyebrows and eyes, but with a bit of resentment of living in the deep boudoir for a long time.
Seeing King Jing coming, the woman in the phoenix skirt did not come down to greet her. She continued to swing the swing and asked softly:
"Li Ren, why are you free to come here today?"
"Come here to pay tribute to the Queen Mother."
Dongfang Liren was wearing a silver python robe, looking like a handsome prince with a glorious appearance. After coming to the swing, he held the Queen Mother's shoulder and gently pushed:
"I just discussed political affairs with the emperor, and the emperor asked me to come and take a look. It's so late, the empress dowager will not go to bed, but I feel that the palace is deserted? Do I want me to arrange someone to send the empress dowager to Yutan Villa for a while?"
"It's a person in the palace, and it's the same person when you go out, what's the difference?"
"The same is true for me and the Lord."
"It's different. You and the emperor have something to do. As long as you think, you can go anywhere in the world and choose the man you like~"
The Empress Dowager turned her head and looked at Dongfang Liren:
"What can I do? I will stay in the palace for ten years. I have no concubine in the harem and let me take care of it. The only hope for living is to wait for a few days to be buried in the imperial tomb..."
"As soon as you enter the deep palace, you will never see spring every year."
Dongfang Liren pushed the swing and comforted softly:
"The imperial family has been like this since ancient times. Although you have lived a quiet life, you are at least respected and loved by the emperor..."
The Empress Dowager was a little displeased: "I would rather not be favored by the emperor. The other concubines of the late emperor had a son to go out with their son to go out, and it would be better if they had no son. They could leave the palace for three years after guarding the tomb. This was the most miserable thing for me. If I could not go out without a son, I could not remarry..."
Dongfang Liren looked helpless: "You are the queen mother! The queen mother is the wife and the concubine is the concubine. Since ancient times, there is no saying that the queen mother remarries?"
The Empress Dowager was silent: "There is no remarried Empress Dowager in history, but there are countless empress dowagers who do not follow the moral principles of their wife and raise their 'faces'..."
?!
Dongfang Liren felt that this was saying that he was "requesting for a meeting" from her cheap daughter, and he patted the Empress Dowager on the shoulder of the Queen Mother:
"Mrs. Queen Mother, what are you saying?"
The Empress Dowager snorted: "I'm almost crazy in the deep palace, so I can't just talk about it casually? I didn't say that I wanted to raise a couple... Fortunately, I am not your biological mother, but just an ornament in the palace. If the emperor's legitimate mother does not abide by etiquette and law to raise a couple, you can only turn a blind eye..."
Dongfang Liren sighed: "Forget it, I just pretend I didn't hear it."
The Empress Dowager thought about it and asked again:
"You and the Lord have no one beside you. Have you found a photo recently? Are there any portraits or something? The Queen Mother gives you the palm of her eyes?"
Dongfang Liren had just painted a "beautiful man picture", but looking at the Empress Dowager's eager appearance, it is not easy to take it out and taste it together.
"The emperor is busy with government affairs. I am so worried about the Green Bandits. I have no intention of considering marriage..."
"You are not young anymore. If you have a chance, you should consider it early..."
...
After a while of a chat, a few cold raindrops fell from the gaps of the ginkgo tree.
Rush rust...
The Empress Dowager raised her eyes and looked at the lush crown of the ginkgo tree, with three resentment in her eyes:
"It is said that this tree has spirits. I come to visit every day, but it turns out to be very good. I haven't encountered a good thing for ten years in the palace. It's just that I'm suffering. I swing my swing to relax and it's raining. I'll cut you down in a few days!"
"It doesn't rain well, and the trees shelter the Queen Mother from the wind and rain. If the Queen Mother cuts down this tree, wouldn't it be even more helpless?"
"Too……"
