154 Huaqing Yaochi and the old emperor's perfect preparation
Yanfu.
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 with the other hand, Zhang Chunhua's long black hair was entangled between his fingers...
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 in a low voice.
The "Huaqing Yaochi" he mentioned is a specially built huge hot spring pool in the Zhenbei Palace.
Huaqing Yaochi is a unique place in Zhenbei Palace.
It is said that thirty 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 at the former site of the Zhenbei Palace, introduced flowers and trees, and inlaid jade bricks and stone sculptures to build an extremely luxurious jade pool, known as
For - Huaqing Yaochi.
I heard about Nahuaqing Yaochi.
There are rockeries and strange rocks around.
All kinds of exotic flowers and plants are planted all around, and the fragrant fragrance of the flowers is emitted, mixed with the mist of the hot spring water, and finally lingers on more than ten artificial stone pillars, forming a layer of fragrance.
layer.
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, and streams of pure white liquid continuously overflowed from its roaring mouth, and finally poured into the pool.
Inside the pool is a pool of mellow-colored water with flowers.
The water in this pool is so pure and pure that it is like milk. You can't see the bottom at all. Even if the warrior's spiritual consciousness erodes in, it will be bounced back. It is obviously added with magical power.
The pond is half empty, and there is always a lingering mist.
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 thought about the "Huaqing Yaochi" that his father built for his mother. It was gorgeous, rich and unconventional, and 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 beside him, "Chunhua, do you think that since my father built the Huaqing Yaochi specifically for his mother and concubine, would he?
…”
"...Or maybe I had it with my mother and concubine. In the 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 exciting, she was so ashamed that she couldn't help but turn slightly red...
"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...
Lament the changeability of women.
But he still stopped asking, just put his hand on Zhang Chunhua's jade-red cheek, and then slowly slid it down...
"Chunhua, you are right, we shouldn't speculate on them."
"...But after returning to the palace, Chunhua, please accompany me to Huaqing Yaochi."
Yan Wulu said with a slight smile on his face.
"Prince." Zhang Chunhua's breath changed slightly because of Yan Wulu's movements, "...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 reacted and laughed out loud for a moment...
He turned over, pressed forward, looked at the beautiful woman under him, and said: "I just want Chunhua to accompany me to have a look, 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... bullied me again."
As he spoke, Zhang Chunhua subconsciously reached out and pinched Yan Wulu's waist hard.
Yan Wulu was in 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 arrogant 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 lifted Zhang Chunhua's chin with one hand and said meaningfully: "...I dare to do this to your husband. It seems that I have to train you again."
Zhang Chunhua felt the other person's movements with his body, and was secretly happy in his heart, but his face looked red with embarrassment.
Yan Wulu came closer and reminded in a low voice——
"The feeling before was always a bit unfinished."
"...I may be rude next time. Chunhua, if you can't stand it, just tell me and I will stop."
When Zhang Chunhua heard this, she smiled evilly for a moment. She boldly stretched out her hand, grabbed the other person, and replaced the reply with her actions.
Yan Wulu could feel the feeling down there...
I feel more and more that this girl has no scruples. Why is her style in bed so different from her usual style?
Sure enough, it needs to be properly trained and taught.
…
…
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 with 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 committed mischief in Jinling City bullied a friend 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, causing harm 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 Festival" hosted by King Yu yesterday, Jin King Zhao Lingcheng was attacked by an assassin. Moreover, it was an organized assassination with multiple people acting 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 Lingxin, who was in charge of Jinyi Division, for verification, and asked King Yu Zhao Lingrui and King 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 daughter, Princess Taiping Zhao Lingxin, actually told herself that she had promised Yan Wulu to hold an engagement ceremony in advance!
this……
Somewhat beyond Zhao Purui's expectation.
It’s true that women are not allowed to stay!
As a father, he still cannot understand what his arrogant daughter is 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 proposed engagement this time.
The only explanation can only be that I, as an old guy, have outgrown the age of today's 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 her husband's house with her husband.
Then, the wedding will be consummated.
But in this case, doesn’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.
The morning light appears.
A tall man, wearing the uniform of the deputy commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Division, looked to be about forty or fifty years old. His face was serious, but he was walking in a hurry.
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 long bow, 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 is born with supernatural powers. When he was young, Zhao Purui had the opportunity to cultivate and become a powerful warrior.
But at that time, Zhao Purui was romantic and playful. Compared with the boring practice of martial arts, he was more fascinated by "getting drunk in the beauty land".
but……
At the request of the previous emperor, Zhao Purui learned some archery and horse riding skills, and he was not ashamed of the "Six Arts of a Gentleman" (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 addressed to the tall, middle-aged man behind him who knelt on one knee and saluted, that is, the person who came in a hurry.
The deputy commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Division and the most senior person in the Jinyi Division—Xia Hai.
"Your Majesty, it has been twenty-seven years." Xia Hai replied respectfully.
"Twenty-seven 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.
Already."
"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, Xia Hai, you can be regarded as an old minister who stays with me."
As the old emperor Zhao Purui said, he also shot an arrow from his hand, a hundred steps away, and hit the bull's-eye.
The expression is pleasant.
Extremely easy.
He placed the long bow on the long bow stand beside him, then changed the topic and suddenly said: "...Originally, with your ability, merit and qualifications, it was more than enough to become the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Division, but unfortunately,
Zhang Jian, after all, is a member of the Jinling family."
"...I needed to coordinate the overall situation at that time, so sometimes, I couldn't give you what originally belonged 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 Jinyi Division to Lingxin. 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.
Zhao Purui chuckled lightly when he heard this.
"Don't be so cautious. Just speak your mind boldly. There is nothing to be afraid of."
"What Wei Chen thinks is indeed true."
Xia Hai said, thought for a moment, and then firmly added:
"Wei Chen was able to reach his current position from a small patrol all because of His Majesty's care, so Wei Chen has 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 merits and abilities, but you have always been inferior to others."
"Right."
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."
