In the main hall of the Floating Palace, the banquet was coming to an end, and officials and royal nobles began to leave one after another.
Zhao Wenyi sat alone and drank wine. He no longer cared about the departure of officials and other royal nobles.
A quarter of an hour later, he and some eunuchs and maids who were taking care of the funeral were the only ones left in the hall.
"Young Master Wenyi~~" A confidant walked up to Zhao Wenyi and whispered.
Zhao Wenyi came back to his senses, shook his head with a wry smile, and stood up: "Has everyone dispersed?"
"It's gone~"
"What about Zhao Ming's people?"
"It's gone too~"
"Okay, let's go back too~ Hey~~"
...
In the wedding room, Ma Xiaoquan, who had just had sex with Princess Ting, was sitting on the bed and teaching Princess Ting how to play backgammon.
"This is wrong, it's not the way to go. Remember, if five identical ones are connected in a line, you win... If there are no obstacles in the front and back, you can win with four pieces~" Ma Xiaoquan said, holding the hand in his hand
The chess pieces are shown to Princess Ting.
Princess Ting covered her mouth and smiled softly, saying: "Everyone is just getting married and resting, so it would be better for you to play backgammon with high spirits..."
Ma Xiaoquan said helplessly: "Are you okay? You don't want to sleep and you insist on letting me teach you. Hey, women are so fickle..."
Princess Ting said: "Okay, I admit, I just can't believe that my husband will be you..."
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head and said: "Actually, if you count, I have been married many times..."
Princess Ting nodded and said: "Of course I understand, you are just like my father. When he was young, he had many women..."
"Oh, yes, then I'm very interested. They say you lived for more than a hundred years. If that's the case, tell me what happened to you in the past hundred years, hehe...
....”
Princess Ting smiled slightly and said: "Okay, let's rest first, I have to see my father tomorrow... By the way, I have to praise you, your performance on the bed is quite good~
~”
Ma Xiaoquan frowned and said proudly: "Of course...you don't even know who I am, hehe~~"
Princess Ting immediately threw herself into Ma Xiaoquan's arms: "What about one more time?"
Ma Xiaoquan's hair stood up when he heard this, and he quickly said: "No, we just finished, I was still a sage..."
Before Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, his mouth was already blocked by Princess Ting's red lips...
...
At this time, Zhao Wenyi was standing depressed at the door of the Fire Temple, quietly looking at the plaque on the main hall.
"I really failed..." Zhao Wenyi smiled bitterly, shook his head, and planned to leave.
At this moment, the door of the main hall opened, and a maid came out, holding a basin of cold water in her hand.
"Well, Mr. Wenyi, it's so late, why are you here? Are you looking for the empress?" the maid asked as she poured out the cold water in the basin.
Zhao Wenyi asked back: "Isn't there anyone else?"
The maid shook her head: "I don't know what happened to the empress today. She is always distracted... several times, I heard her crying in the room..."
"What's going on? Who dares to offend Qing Han?" Zhao Wenyi frowned and said angrily.
The maid shook her head: "I don't know. The queen didn't say anything. She just asked me to bring in a basin of hot water. The queen washed my face and then let me out."
Zhao Wenyi thought for a while and said, "Can I go in and have a look?"
"Okay, okay, but Mr. Wenyi, you can't say that I let you in, otherwise the empress will punish me if she finds out~"
"Okay~~"
Zhao Wenyi walked into the Fire Temple and looked around.
The Fire Temple was not originally a Fire Temple, but a historical relic here a long time ago. Later, Li Qinghan came and fell in love with this place at first sight, so he reached an agreement with Zhao Yuntai to transform this place into a Fire Temple.
Zhao Wenyi has been here more than once, but every time he comes, he feels very strange, especially at this moment.
...
As long as Li Qinghan was not dealing with church affairs, he would stay in the "Pianan Xiaozhu" in the temple. Zhao Wenyi came several times but was never able to enter.
Arriving at the entrance of the small courtyard of "Pian'an Xiaozhu", a maid saw Zhao Wenyi, and her expression of surprise instantly came over her.
Zhao Wenyi made a gesture, and the maid nodded, then stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Master Wenyi, why are you here? It's very late~"
Zhao Wenyi did not answer the maid's words, but asked directly: "Is Qinghan still not asleep?"
The maid nodded: "Yes, the empress seems to be crying in the room, and none of us dare to go in and disturb her..."
"Then let me try..." Zhao Wenyi nodded, walked to the door, and knocked gently.
No one in the room answered, so Zhao Wenyi bravely pushed the door open with a gentle push.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Wenyi walked in and closed the door behind him.
In front of the round table in the room, Li Qinghan sat blankly. She had no idea that Zhao Wenyi had entered the room.
When Zhao Wenyi walked up to her and called her softly a few times, Li Qinghan came back to his senses.
"It's you..." Seeing Zhao Wenyi, Li Qinghan changed his usual indifference and said lightly, as if he were meeting an old friend.
Although Zhao Wenyi was a little surprised that Li Qinghan didn't ask him why he came in, but from her tone, he could hear her loneliness, or in other words, loneliness...
"Hmm~" Zhao Wenyi hummed softly, pulled out a stool and sat next to Li Qinghan.
Li Qinghan did not escape, but fell into her thoughts again.
Sitting next to Yi Ren, and having drunk a lot of wine before, and smelling the faint fragrance from her body, Zhao Wenyi could no longer control his lust.
Suddenly, Li Qinghan came to his senses and asked Zhao Wenyi: "Wenyi, do you love me?"
Zhao Wenyi was stunned for a moment, tried hard to control his emotions, and nodded repeatedly: "Love, always love~"
"Then will you stick with me forever?"
While Zhao Wenyi nodded, he began to wonder if he had heard wrongly. Why did Li Qinghan, who had always been indifferent to him before, seem to be a different person today and became more enthusiastic towards him? Was he hallucinating? Or was it alcohol?
Drink too much?
Thinking of this, Zhao Wenyi pinched his thigh hard, causing pain.
Pain shot from his thigh into his head. Zhao Wenyi shook his head. Seeing Li Qinghan sitting next to him, he suddenly realized that he was not dreaming, this was reality.
At this time, Zhao Wenyi could no longer control his lust, so he hugged Li Qinghan.
Li Qinghan did not struggle, but closed her eyes obediently, and crystal tears shed from the corners of her eyes.
How could Zhao Wenyi, who was suffering from spermatozoa, notice this? He picked up Li Qinghan sideways almost roughly and walked to the bed.
The maid outside the door heard the movement in the house and was a little surprised to go in to stop her, but then Zhao Wenyi's voice suddenly came out.
"Anyone who enters the door will be killed without mercy!"
The maid's status was low, so even if Zhao Wenyi could not control her directly, she would not dare to take another step forward.
Two little birds fell on the roof. They were chirping non-stop. They seemed to be quarreling and singing happily. The maid closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She shook her head and said, "Perhaps Mr. Wenyi can take care of me."
Your Majesty, this is the best destination for your Majesty..."
...
The next day.
Ma Xiaoquan and Princess Ting went to see Zhao Yuntai early in the morning.
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan, Zhao Yuntai warmly greeted the couple to have breakfast together.
Seeing that Ma Xiaoquan's eye circles were a little blue, Zhao Yuntai smiled and said, "Boy, did you use too much force yesterday?"
When Princess Ting heard what her father said, her pretty face turned red instantly, and then she rolled her eyes fiercely at her father.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said nothing.
Zhao Yuntai laughed: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm very happy to see you like this, but this is only a short-term happiness..."
Ma Xiaoquan put down his chopsticks and said, "Father, is it because of Hongzhou?"
"Well, there is information from Hongzhou that some tribes have begun to rebel..."
"What tribe?"
"Hundred Arts Clan~"
"What, Baiyi Clan?" Ma Xiaoquan widened his eyes and repeated.
Zhao Yuntai was startled by Ma Xiaoquan's call, then calmed down and asked: "Why, do you know the Baiyi Clan?"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while, took out a piece of metal foil from his arms, and handed it to Zhao Yuntai. Zhao Yuntai took the piece of metal foil, looked at it carefully, and then said in surprise: "Why do you have this in your hand?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Should I ask my father about this?"
Zhao Yuntai chuckled and nodded: "Indeed, I left this at Ma's house. I didn't expect it to still be there, huh~" As he said that, Zhao Yuntai ordered his subordinates to bring the candle over and twist the metal foil.
A corner was baked on a candle.
"Huh? Can it still be done like this?" Ma Xiaoquan said in surprise.
"Haha, I don't know~" Zhao Yuntai took off the metal foil and squinted his eyes to read it.
"Hey, what a pity, I don't recognize many of the words on this..."
Ma Xiaoquan licked his lips and said, "This, father, why don't you let me see it?"
Zhao Yuntai looked at Ma Xiaoquan suspiciously: "Do you know the writing of the Baiyi clan? Well, yes, you are from the Ma family, and you know more or less the classics of the Ma family..."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, took the metal foil from Zhao Yuntai, squinted his eyes and nodded while looking at it.
Zhao Yuntai and Princess Ting looked at each other, and Princess Ting asked: "Husband, do you really know the characters on it? Those are all characters of the Baiyi Clan. Among the tribes in Hongzhou, only the characters of the Baiyi Clan are
