Drunken Exquisiteness

After the confession of the wedding, there are still many etiquettes to be done to sacrifice to the temple, enter the palace to give thanks, and return to the Xiangfu. Ye Tianling accompanied Qing Chen with every inch, dripping water from place to place, but the two of them seemed alienated in front of everyone, and they really responded to the words of respect as a guest.

The coldness of Ye Tianling and the calmness of Qing Chen are unavoidable in the eyes of people. For a time, rumors and rumors in the Tiandu became clear and secret. At the beginning, King Ling refused to marry, and now King Zhan’s love is as clear as he saw it in person, and it has become a secret affair of the Duan Tian family.

Qing Chen occasionally only laughed when he heard it. Yun's temple dress was reserved in the palace with wide sleeves, and he entered and exited with Ye Tianling. The graceful Gao Huazhong always carried a clear but vague silence. I also met that palace gentry clan playing their tongues, but it was either frightened by Ye Tian’s stern stare, or confused by Yu Qingchen’s calm smile. Often the amusement words came to the mouth and swallowed back, but turned into Luo Yuanxuan from time to time. The topic of jokes.

But one day, the five princes set up a banquet in the Xiwang Mansion, and most of the princes and princes were among them. Madam Zheng, the side concubine of King Xi, was very much loved, and accompanied her to the table.

After drinking for three rounds, Xu Shi was a bit drunk, Madam Zheng talked a few words with Qingchen, and suddenly glanced at Ye Tianling, and said with a half-sour smile: "I heard that His Royal Highness Zhan came back with Luan Fuzhong thought about it behind closed doors. Recently, I was slightly affected by the cold. I know that my sister-in-law is good at medicine, so how can I not go to see it, maybe the medicine will get rid of the disease?"

According to the ancestral precepts of the celestial dynasty, the prince is not allowed to go back to Beijing privately when he is outside. Although Ye Tianzhan did well in Huailuan's errands, he was reprimanded by the Emperor of Heaven on the day of Qing Chen's wedding privately. Not only did he fail to reward him, but instead made him think behind closed doors in the mansion, and he was not allowed to go out in January. For this reason, Empress Yin was very annoyed with Qing Chen, and Qing Chen was rather helpless, but because of the lingering guilt for Ye Tianzhan, she could only avoid it everywhere.

Mrs. Zheng's words fell, and Ye Tianling glanced at King Xi with a sharp gaze. As a coincidence, Qing Chen also raised his eyes to look at King Dingxi as if there was something like nothing.

There was a steep silence during the dinner, and no one came and went to answer. Madam Zheng was shocked to say nothing. She was not smiling or not smiling there. King Xi's expression sank, and he hesitated to shout: "I can't go down yet!"

Qing Chen raised her eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile quietly rippled on her lips. Although she was unhappy when someone said nothing, but after drinking, she smiled and took Madam Zheng's hand and said, "I just used that embroidery method. I haven't understood yet, and I have to ask my sister to tell me more."

Hearing this, Ye Tianling swept the corner of his mouth slightly and raised his glass to King Xi. During the banquet, Qin Guogong, Chang Dinghou and others hurriedly smiled and rounded up the field. Princess Xi also said to Qing Chen: "Sister Zheng is good at embroidering. If the fourth sister-in-law likes it, ask someone to bring it and let her embroider it for you."

Madam Zheng knew that she was in trouble, and said embarrassingly: "Sister-in-law...Even though the fourth-sister-in-law drew it to me, I will embroider it and send it to her."

Qing Chen was not aggressive, and said: "I am a very layman with these, and I will ask you for advice when I have time."

After a few words with a smile, Princess Xi gave Qing Chen a cautious look. There were so many flowers blooming in the palace, but she had never seen anyone act like this. If he said that he was not annoyed, he turned his eyes to King Xi and asked about the crime. A word was different from Mrs. Zheng's theory, but it didn't seem to be annoying when he looked at it. Shuibo smiled unhappily, calmly and unhappily. Suspect him.

Fortunately, Princess Xi sighed in secret. I heard that she was a soft and sharp woman, and she was calm and undaunted when she was with the Emperor. This is really the opposite of King Ling. If King Zhan is allowed to marry Going back, I'm afraid that I can't bear it.

Two days later, Qing Chen had forgotten the matter, but Mrs. Zheng sent a special embroidered screen with flowers.

The workmanship is exquisite and lifelike, and Qing Chen thought that if she wanted her to embroider such a piece, it might take a few years. Thinking that she always got the thread and silk cloth and her fingers into the horror, she had to raise her eyebrows and let it go. Anyway, this was not a big deal.

Xue Zhan lay beside Qing Chen as if he knew her thoughts, squinted at her, swept her tail, covered her nose and continued to sleep in a fake sleep. Qing Chen accidentally caught the little beast's gaze, dropped the embroidery and rubbed its head with ulterior motives. Xue Zhan was tragically ravaged, and reluctantly raised her paw to fiddle with her hand, Qing Chen's cuff slipped, revealing a crimson crystal bead.

The exquisite blood rewarded by the Queen Mother at the wedding was the garnet in the crystal spirit stone. Tourmaline spirit stone, ice sapphire, moonflower stone, amethyst stone, blood Linglong, this is already the fifth exquisite crystal she found. Jinfengshi is in the hands of Queen Yin, and Qing Chen can't help but turn around and look at Ye Tianling. Go, there is still an obsidian with him.

Because of the big wedding, Ye Tianling put aside his government affairs these few days and even exempted him from the early days. This person who does not miss anything on weekdays actually feels at ease and is surprisingly idle. In addition to the false gifts outside, he only accompanies Qing Chen every day. His blue shirt is faint, and his body is full of strange leisure, as if the coldness that was like a shadow before is just an illusion. The area between the eyebrows and the eyes is often stunned by that spirit. Diluted.

Slowly, his eyes fell along his wrist to his solid chest, steady shoulders, thin lips, straight nose, and the deep eyes, Qing Chen forgot why he turned his head. Simply put his chin to look at him.

Ye Tianling inadvertently raised his head and was falling into the gaze of Yingying, the gentleness of the path warmed people's hearts, like a darkly fragrant dusk, with soft and boney peach shadows and colorful, falling full of breasts.

With a move of his slender fingers, he held the scroll in his hand and looked back quietly, facing each other day and night. This life is quiet and good, and it seems that he will never be bored.

The people around them have become imaginary, and this situation does not happen day by day, so Baguio, Yan Xi or even Madam Bai often bowed their heads and pursed their lips and quietly retreated. Lingwang Mansion gradually revealed some exquisiteness and beauty from the solemnity. The green shade was slightly thick and the breeze was clear. The sun warmed the picturesque late spring day by day.

After a few days of idleness, the rhythm of the past was restored. There were many things in the middle of the court. Ye Tianling used to have to go back to the mansion until night every day, but today is very early.

The flowers outside the window were light, and before the sun was half shining on the table, Qing Chen leaned in front of the window to solve an ancient game facing the chess book. Seeing him coming back, he asked strangely: "I haven't been to court for so many days, so there is nothing to be involved in?"

Ye Tianling sat down beside her and copied a few chess pieces to play with. The jade-colored chess piece jumped between his slender fingers, making a crisp sound: "Why, do you expect me to be busy?"

Qing Chen smiled and said: "No, it's just curiosity. I was busy a while ago, why can I be free today?"

Ye Tianling brushed his sleeves, leaned on the case leisurely, looked at the chessboard, and said lightly: "I handed over the tiger talisman."

Qing Chen was stunned upon hearing the words: "What?"

"Today up, I handed over the military power of the God Imperial Army to my father." Ye Tianling repeated.

Qing Chen paused in the air and looked up at him. Military power, that is something that many people can't think of, and how many people are deeply jealous of the military power in Ye Tianling's hands. How can he hand it in such a chic and unrestrained sentence?

After thinking about it for a while, she probably understood the reason. When King Zhan and King Ming both asked for an decree to marry, the Emperor of Heaven unexpectedly referred her, the daughter of the Feng family, to King Ling. It seemed that he wanted to use King Ling to counterbalance King Cham and divide the power of foreign relatives. Ye Tianling held a heavy soldier in his hand, too taboo, only by taking the initiative to regress at this time, can the Emperor of Heaven be at ease.

"Due to our marriage?" she asked.

Ye Tianling didn't pay much attention to the authenticity: "That's it."

Qing Chen slowly retracted a few chess pieces in his palm, and frowned, "Without military power, it means losing half of the world. My wife has made you lose such an important thing."

Seeing that she was serious, Ye Tianling raised her thin lips slightly, and said unhurriedly, "I have brought soldiers for so many years. Isn't it necessary to use that tiger charm to dispatch soldiers? Don't underestimate your husband."

Qing Chen stared at him for a moment, and there was a small burst of starlight in his deep eyes in front of him. It was extremely light, but as dazzling as dazzling. She suddenly opened her heart, her eyes were light, and she rolled out a smile, slowly placed the chess piece in her hand on the chessboard, and one dropped off. The entangled situation in the board changed faintly: "If this is the case, it is not necessary for King Ming's Shence Army. handed in?"

Ye Tianling said, "It depends on whether he is smart."

"Smart, but unfortunately sometimes too smart." Qing Chen has never liked Ye Tianming, "I bet he won't pay."

"It doesn't matter whether he or not." Ye Tianling's tone was slightly sharp, "It's just that he shouldn't be wrong, shouldn't frame the big emperor brother, let alone be unruly towards you." While speaking, he threw a white child into the game.

The black and white twins are scattered across the latitude and longitude. The black and black was originally aggressive and aggressive, but this one entered the game, and a large area of ​​blacks suddenly became a dead move. Heizi's straight-forward advance was blocked, and the emptiness behind him was suddenly unsustainable. Baizi's previous pattern of steadily steadily battling and fighting quickly prevailed.

At this time, if Ye Tianming had the power to hand over, he would have lost a vital chess piece in his hand. He would not have the influence of Ye Tianling in the army; if he did not hand over the power, then unless he had the right to hand over, the Emperor of Heaven would also Can't tolerate him for a long time. Obviously, the Emperor of Heaven now also has the plan to reclaim the power step by step. Qing Chen smiled and provoked a few black chess pieces, but she was taken aback. She didn't mention Ye Tianming's non-discriminatory actions. She looked at Ye Tianling inquiringly, "How do you know that he treated me... um... …"

"Huh?" Ye Tian raised his eyebrows lightly, and then snorted lightly, "Every time he sees you, it's like seeing your sister's dance in the past. Would I not know?"

Qing Chen smiled suddenly: "You know that he is looking at me, isn't it because you are also looking at me?" Her lips were slightly pursed, and her eyes were agile, rather mischievous.

Ye Tianling dropped the remaining chess pieces at random, and a game of chess was suddenly messed up. He looked at her with a somewhat ambiguous smile, but he lowered his head in her ear: "Well, I have been looking at you."

Qing Chen's expression of teasing others turned into shyness without resistance, and hid in his arms. Ye Tianling circled her, with a teasing smile on the corner of her mouth. Qing Chen glanced at him and leaned in his arms: "Four brother, I will give you something later, or I can make up for one or two, but it will take some time."

Ye Tianling lowered his head and asked: "What?"

Qing Chen smiled and said, "I won't tell you yet!"

Ye Tianling didn't ask, but looked at her clear eyes and said: "I can exchange you for your side, don't say anything about military power, even if the world is exhausted?"

With a faint word, he slammed into the heart of the lake, overthrowing his soul. An unprecedented joyful feeling surged in Qing Chen's heart, raised her eyebrows, and said proudly like him: "I can add fragrance to your boudoir, and then I can overcome difficulties with you. If you marry me, you will not lose sight of the world."

There was a wave in Ye Tianling's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "I only dare to marry such a woman. Who else wants it?"

Qing Chen refused to accept it and raised his head: "You don't want it, someone will want it!"

Ye Tianling bent his arms tight, and slowly said, "He dares."

Seeing him domineering, Qing Chen was very happy, raised his voice and laughed, Ye Tianling couldn't help but laughed.

With faint laughter, he walked through the window, and even Yan Xi who walked outside was infected a little bit. He couldn't help but grinned, only to feel that he was drunk in the late spring, and his life was so beautiful.

Tianji Mansion is where Ye Tianling must go every day. Today, he went with Qing Chen. It happened that Mingzhi came back from outside and brought the things he asked for a few days ago. He asked: "Your Majesty, see if these are enough. complete?"

Ye Tianling took it and flipped it over, throwing at the case, with a bit of anger on her face: "Asshole thing, it's so lawless!"

Qing Chen stretched out his hand to fetch it, and saw the evidence that officials bullied the people, corrupted and broke the law. Some were really unexpected and hateful, no wonder Ye Tianling was angry.

Lu Qian and the others have seen it, and said, "His Royal Highness, the whole country will be in jeopardy if the household is not integrated! Although I know that the clansmen are corrupt and the officials must be greedy, no one wants to reach this point."

Ye Tianling's eyesight was meager: "When I temporarily release the military power, I want to free my hands to get the malignant tumor."

Du Jun asked: "His Royal Highness handed over the military power after all?"

Ye Tianling nodded.

"Where does Your Highness plan to do it in the future?" Zuo Yuansun asked.

"From these people." Ye Tianling said coldly, pointing to the case.

"In order not to attract people's attention, it is better not to come forward." Du Jun said, "It is also best not to check from the Ministry of Households, otherwise I am afraid it will be extremely difficult."

"Then check from the army's salary." Qing Chen put down the things in his hand and said lightly, "check the army's salary, once you check it, once you have let go of the Ministry of War, it happens to be from the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Justice will rectify the Ministry of War. So go to the household department to check."

Du Jun said: "It's not that the military pay has been checked, but the cause is still in the household department. Not to mention that the officials underneath protect each other, even the emperor did not seem to have so much determination to move. I have done it a few times before, but only clicked. until."

"This time I can go farther." Qing Chenfeng raised his eyes slightly, "The matter must start from the Shence Army barracks, and the trouble will go to the emperor's place. Now the emperor is staring at the military power, she will definitely follow the boat." I clicked the paper page on the case, "At least these, no one will run away by then, and the key to this is that you can move him."

"He? The princess meant..." Lu Qian looked over and asked.

"Yeah." Qing Chen nodded, "When everyone is overwhelmed, it is the best time."

"What if he surrendered the military power himself?" Lu Qian said.

Qing Chen smiled and shook his head, and looked at Ye Tianling: "It's still the same sentence, I bet he won't pay."

Ye Tianling said: "The military pay must not be rigorously adjusted, and the future tough battles will be more difficult to fight. It is just this opportunity to do it all."

While talking, Nangong Jing, Xia Bufeng and other generals asked for a meeting. Xia Bufeng entered the door and almost forgot the etiquette, and hurriedly asked: "Why did your Highness release the military power? There was a lot of discussion in the Ministry of War, saying that your Highness no longer cares about this stall, how will we fight in the future?"

Ye Tianling glanced at him: "What are you yelling? After taking so many years of soldiers, I still have a rash temper!"

Xia Bufeng is a rare war fighter, but he is naturally quick and straightforward. For this reason, Ye Tianling has not rarely been reprimanded by Ye Tianling, and he dared not speak again.

Nangong Jing is more secure in these matters than Xia Bufeng, but there are also doubts: "His Royal Highness, you just handed over the military power like this, who will the soldiers listen to?"

Ye Tianling said lightly: "Listen to you."

Nangong Jing was stunned, and then he was stunned, and solemnly said: "I am waiting to live up to your Highness's trust."

Xia Bufeng still couldn't help asking: "His Royal Highness, when will the Beijiang matter wait until? I wanted to fight a fight, so why don't you become dumb?"

Ye Tianling stood in front of the window with a hand and said: "If what I expected is good, the princes will soon come by asking them to withdraw. If they are not handled properly by then, they will turn back. Now Yezhou, Dingzhou, Yanzhou , Jingzhou, and Suzhou are still under the control of Bei Yanhou. At this time, revitalizing troops is afraid that the effort will be doubled.

Zuo Yuansun nodded and said: "The war is pinging, the country is empty, and there is another flood along the river this spring. It doesn't seem to be the time."

Lu Qian said: "If you cut the feudal clan at this time, the outcome is indeed unpredictable.

Zuo Yuan Sun deliberated: "If it can be delayed until next year, Yezhou and others will be fine, but Yanzhou...Your Highness, then Conan Xu forgive me for nothing."

Ye Tianling looked at him and said, "Conan Xu, who is called Shuangjue with you, seems to be able to compete soon."

Zuo Yuansun closed his eyes and smiled, and Qing Chen instantly saw a flash of hatred in his eyes. The palpitating coldness that appeared on such a leisurely and unrestrained person was actually murderous at that moment. However, Zuo Yuansun's tone was still calm: "His Royal Highness has ever thought about it, if the court insists on cutting the feudal clan at this time, what should it do? The princes of the Quartet, especially the Bei Yanhou, are afraid that it will be too soon. "

There are constraints on the side, and there is a good strategy in his chest, but I don’t know if it can be done. The bright spring light outside the window casts a clear and shallow shadow on Ye Tianling’s face, but there is a faint and sharp light in his eyes: "He can't stand it? This king? He didn’t have the patience to spend it any more with him. Several battles with the Turks were difficult to accomplish because of him. He knew that once the trouble of foreign races disappeared, the princes would be like chicken ribs, and it was imperative to cut the vassal. . This time I’ve turned it upside down, first Jing inside and then outside.” He stood slowly in front of the case, placed a point on the spread map, and slender fingers went straight up north, “The battle to cut the domain is bound to be fought, come early. There is an early style of play. After setting up the inner border, I directly point the soldiers to Mobei, and after all, I will let the East and the West Turks never turn back."

Several people were speechless, all staring at the picture. Nangong Jing looked at it for a while and said, "Yanzhou is easy to defend and hard to attack. I am afraid it is the most difficult place, but I still can't see the truth on this picture."

Ye Tianling said to Zuo Yuansun: "These have to trouble Mr. Zuo."

Zuo Yuansun smiled and glanced at Qing Chen, and said, "His Royal Highness still has..." Qing Chen hurriedly shook his head quietly, Zuo Yuansun turned around and said, "His Royal Highness has time to rest assured."

Lu Qian looked up from the picture: "It is a complete victory, and then it will take a lot of time to recuperate."

Du Jun also said: "Although it is not impossible to fight, but only the soldiers and the people are suffering, it is really the last resort."

Ye Tian Ling Meifeng frowned slightly, everyone did not say, but they all knew clearly that it was imperative to hold power. With careful consideration in their minds, both the front and the back must have the worst plans, and they must also be very safe. Replenishing energy and ambition, waiting for a long time, now the arrow is on the string.
