The sixth month of the lunar calendar is already the hottest time. The front and back of Shiqian Hall are empty, with not even a tree, making the hall as hot as a steamer.
Gao Ying was dressed very coolly, wearing a light gauze and a tube top. Her chest was as white and tender as jade, as if it was about to explode.
With five fingers like green onions, he twisted a silver spoon, gently scraped a layer of smoothie on the mountain, and put it into his mouth.
"Taste it and see if there is any difference from the one you made last year!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Li Chengzhi lazily raised his hand, took a taste of the silver spoon, and praised it absentmindedly.
Qin Song, who was standing by, frowned slightly.
Today, he is just like Liu Teng at the time of Yuan Ke. He served as Changqiuqing, Shaofuqing, Taifu Shaoqing, and chamberlain. It can be said that he is a high-ranking official. At present, Li Chengzhi has no title other than the title of Duke. A job is close to you.
But at this time, Li Chengzhi is sitting, but he can only stand?
That's all. Even in the presence of the Queen Mother, Li Chengzhi showed no respect at all. He didn't stand upright. When he sat down, he was like a pile of mud. There was a perfunctory tone when he was playing.
If he had not served for a long time, he would have been able to figure out some of the Queen Mother's thoughts from some of her daily habits. He could see that Gao Ying was very happy at this time, and Qin Song would have shouted out.
Seeing that he was helpless and absent-minded, Gao Ying thought for a moment and smiled sweetly: "It must have been very hard after traveling and traveling all the way. It's no wonder that I am anxious. As soon as I heard that you were returning to Beijing, I couldn't wait to see you... It's time for you to Let me rest for a night and then summon you to the palace tomorrow morning..."
Li Chengzhi's heart tightened slightly.
At first glance, it sounds like the Queen Mother’s words of concern for the ministers who have returned from the victorious expedition. It is extremely normal.
But Li Chengzhi knew that Gao Ying only meant one thing: I miss you...
He glanced at Qin Song and said, "The Queen Mother is serious!"
With just this sentence, there was no sound again, and silence returned to the hall.
Seeing his bored look, Gao Ying clenched his teeth in hatred: How can I make you so impatient?
We haven’t seen each other for several months, and we should have expressed the pain of missing each other. It’s a good thing that this person has been stabbed a thousand times, but he didn’t even bother to say a word?
Qin Song had been waiting for a long time, thinking that if it were someone else who was so perfunctory, the Queen Mother would have been furious and punished him for disrespect. It must have been Li Chengzhi who returned with victory, so he endured it for so long.< /p>
Seeing a slight change in Gao Ying's face, Qin Song took a step forward, intending to yell at Li Chengzhi. But before he could open his mouth, he saw the Queen Mother wave her sleeves: "Wait outside the palace..."< /p>
Shouldn’t it be Li Chengzhi who was kicked out?
Qin Song was so surprised that he repeatedly agreed to the promise and bowed out of the hall.
When he stepped out of the door and raised his head, he realized that Li Chengzhi had been staring at him.
"What do you think he did?"
Gao Ying's face was as cold as frost, and he poured the wine cup heavily on the table, "Is he more beautiful than Gu?"
How good-looking can an old eunuch be?
"It seems that you don't know anything... Well, the eunuch doesn't know either..."
Gao Ying felt a little more relaxed.
It felt like as soon as Qin Song left, the barrier between the two disappeared.
If I had known earlier, I should have kicked him out just now.
"What do you mean by this? I don't know what I mean?"
"If it doesn't go as I expected, it will already be rumored in Beijing, so what can I do with you!"
Gao Ying was slightly stunned, and his face suddenly sank: "How could I not know?"
"If you knew, you wouldn't be so eager to summon me. You should wait a day to see my memorial.
The old eunuch must not have heard about it, otherwise he should have stayed outside the palace to avoid suspicion, instead of waiting for you to chase him away. Nor would he be ready to scold me for being disrespectful to you in front of the palace..."
"You just returned to Beijing, where did you hear about it?"
Li Chengzhi chuckled: "Gao Meng said it!"
High and fierce?
He is thousands of miles away in Xiazhou, where can he hear about it?
No, it's Gao Zhao... What is his intention in doing this?
Let Li Chengzhi turn against the court and let the courtiers think that she, the Queen Mother, has impure intentions...
"You asked Zhen'er (Gao Zhen) to act as your letter, didn't you say that everything is fine?"
It wasn't until this moment that Gao Ying's expression changed slightly, but most of it was anger rather than alarm.
It is said that after three days of separation, people should look at each other with new eyes, let alone more than half a year.
Today, Gao Ying is becoming more and more stable. He is no longer as coquettish and arrogant as before, and his every move shows grace.
It seems that power is the best ripening agent for men and women...
Li Chengzhi sighed leisurely: "I left 30,000 Chinese troops in Guanzhong, and sent all the state troops to various counties. With such an arrangement, even if someone wants to plot evil, they must act within their capabilities. Since there is no chaos in Guanzhong, everything will be fine.
..."
Gao Ying slapped the case in anger: "Guanzhong is not in chaos, but what about other places? You said everything was fine, so I thought I was wrong...Then why didn't you explain it to Zhen'er?"
"You said it was just speculation. If there is no real evidence on such a major event that shakes the foundation of the country, who dares to make a conclusion?"
Li Chengzhi lazily leaned back to make himself more comfortable: "Are you afraid that Yuanying will hate me to death, or do you hate that I am too comfortable after returning to Beijing?"
Gao Ying was stunned.
Yes, it's just conjecture. How can I get him to make it clear? Should he tell Gao Zhen that Gao Zhao wants to rebel?
The courtiers had preconceived notions that he had bad intentions. Then they heard him criticize Gao Zhao, and they must have thought that he was malicious and deliberately framed him.
But even if he knew what he could do, could it be possible that based on Li Chengzhi's conjecture, he could seize Gao Zhao's military power and become commander-in-chief again?
Military affairs are nothing trivial. Even if she insisted on going her own way, Yuan Ying and other ministers would never agree.
Gao Ying felt bitter and glared at Li Chengzhi hatefully: "It's all down to you... If you stayed in Beijing and were always vigilant to me, why would there be such twists and turns?"
Are you running out of options?
Li Chengzhi chuckled: "If it weren't for me, Guanzhong would have turned into a pot of chaos. Maybe the enemy troops have already left Tongguan and are heading towards the capital... How can you be able to stay in the palace?"
Gao Ying's face turned red.
It was also her fault. If she had not believed deeply in Gao Zhao, how could she have been deceived by him, changed him into a commander, and relieved Li Chengzhi of his military power?
If Li Chengzhi hadn't made a bitter confession in the victory report, she would still have been kept in the dark. And even if she had woken up, it was too late.
At that time, Gao Zhao had already led his troops out of Beijing, and Li Chengzhi had gone north angrily. The courtiers were even more outraged by Li Chengzhi, and instead trusted Gao Zhao even more.
What's more, Gao Zhao also had a backup plan: if she argued hard, or if she wanted to deprive Gao Zhao of his military power, she and Li Chengzhi would be in trouble. The whole court thought that she, the queen mother, was justifying an adulterer. After all, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, not the emperor. Even if she is as strong as Yuan Ke, she still cannot do whatever she wants.
So it will only get worse!
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and Gao Ying felt regretful...
"Don't panic, what if you guessed wrong? Even if you guess right, there will be no danger within three to five months... at least after Rouran retreats."
"What about after March and May?"
After March and May?
Li Chengzhi smiled: "Now I am like a clay Buddha crossing the river. I can't protect myself. How can I care about three to five months later? Let's get over the current hurdle first and then look at it?"
"Who can harm you if you are alone?"
This is not a question of who can harm me or not, but...I quit...
Just as he was secretly laughing at himself, he heard Qin Song saying at the palace gate: "The Queen Mother, Your Royal Highnesses, King Rencheng, King Zhongshan, and King Guangyang, please see me!"
If you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here?
Li Chengzhi sat up a little straighter and said seriously: "Remember, a little impatience will mess up a big plan. No matter what, after today, it's not too late to worry about it!"
Gao Ying felt a warm current in his heart and nodded decisively...
