After Yufu walked away, the guards raised their heads.
"What should I do now?"
"I don't know what to do..."
Everyone was at a loss. They waited eagerly from day to night, waiting for Yufu to send someone to break the sky, but they didn't expect her to come in person.
It would be better if the prince and the important ministers can resolve the conflict and ease the relationship. That is the blessing of Bei Li.
Unexpectedly, Yufu came and left. He only said that he was walking through here, and he didn't even mention what to do with Tianyunpo.
"Why don't you go in and tell Lord Tian to tell the truth?"
A guard sighed and walked into the house.
There was no cell inside, and even the door was not closed. Tian Yun was sitting there drinking tea slowly, as if he had heard the conversation outside the door.
"It looks like I'm going to sleep in the guard station tonight. Excuse me, you can put a bedding for me and clean it."
The guard waved his hand quickly, "How can this work? The guard station is so simple, how can a noble person stay here overnight?"
Tian Yunpo smiled and glanced at him, "If you don't stay here for the night, don't you want me to go back to the house to stay overnight?"
The guard lowered his head in embarrassment. Yufu didn't mention how to deal with Tian Yunpo. Naturally, he couldn't make his own way to send the person back to the mansion, but letting him stay here overnight would be wronged by Tian Yunpo.
Tian Yunpo didn't want to embarrass him, but said: "Okay, don't think about it. I remember that there are beds in the guard room. If you don't have extra clean bedding, I will sleep on the bed."
"Yes, even if not, the subordinates have to get it for you!"
The guard hurriedly handed over, "Thank you, Lord God, for not embarrassing the younger ones. The adults are forgiving and the subordinates are grateful."
Tian Yunpo put down the tea cup and curled the corners of his lips with a mockery, "What is meant by being tolerant? I'm just a white robe with no title and no honour. I'm not as good as you palace guards when it comes to court duties."
The guard knew that he was thinking about Yufu's words in the hall today, and she accused Tianyun Po without a position and no noble but not bowing down to greet him, because she was rude to the prince.
The guard thought for a while, and whispered: "Master Tian, the number of useful talents in the Northern Li Dynasty in the past few years is not an adult who used to be in a high position. Like General Ouyang, like you, in fact, your Highness is not in his heart. I don’t understand, my subordinates heard that his Royal Highness also praised General Ouyang in the palace today, and proposed to make him a knight. And you..."
Tianyun was in the guard station, but he heard clearly about what happened in the middle of the kingdom today. Yufu's detailed preparation and amazing memory were not unfavorable.
Hearing the guard's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh, what's wrong with me?"
The guard said boldly: "Your subordinates said something offensive. The person who deserves the most praise in the court today is you, an adult. But the adult is disrespectful to your Highness. Can your Highness not punish you?"
Small punishment and big admonishment, this word is used really well.
Tianyun smiled and said: "Well said. But how do you know that I want to be praised by His Highness, but don't want to be punished and admonished by His Highness?"
The guard was taken aback, how could anyone not want to be praised, but wanted to be punished instead
Wait a minute, what he means is that he deliberately offended His Highness today
The guards haven't thought about it clearly yet, Tian Yunpo has stood up and stretched his waist, yawning in his mouth, "I'm sleepy, go to bed first. If your Royal Highness sends someone to me in the middle of the night, you will wake me up again. That's it."
Midnight
Who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and wants people to talk
…
Naturally, Yufu didn't pass Tianyunpo in the middle of the night, but ordered people to pass Tianyunpo to the East Palace early in the morning.
The lights in the guards stayed up all night, because the guards in the palace had to shift their guards at night, and there would be a voice of personnel being transferred every other hour.
The pair of Tianyun, who came from a family, couldn't sleep well. He didn't sleep well all night, and finally fell asleep until dawn, and was awakened by someone sent by Yufu.
He opened his eyes in a daze, only to see a round-faced girl standing boldly in front of his bed, and said loudly: "Tian Gongzi, your Highness told you to go to the East Palace for questioning. It is a crime of disrespect to go late."
She is not tall, but her aura is very high. Those guards who are a lot taller than her can only stand on the side, secretly winking Tian Yunpo to make him quicker.
There was only one crime of disrespect yesterday, and another one today, that would be terrible.
If there is a master, there must be a servant.
Tian Yunpo thought to himself that he had to get up from the bed and saw that the sky outside the window was not clear, and immediately said: "Why did your Highness send me so early?"
Yaolan glared her eyes and raised her chin proudly, "It's getting late, Your Highness Diligent, you still have to face up after calling Tian Gongzi for questioning!"
Tian Yun was dressed while looking at Yaolan, "Are you a Dongling woman? I heard Dongling's strict ethics, there should be no woman staring at the man's dressing ceremony."
He thought that if he said that, Yao Lan would definitely face red, at least he looked a little embarrassed. really-
"Sorry, God, I am the maid of the Immortal Valley, I have served your Highness from childhood to adulthood, not a Dongling woman."
She was embarrassed, her face didn't show any embarrassment.
Tianyun put on his shoes and got up, "No wonder the girl is so majestic, she must have been fascinated by His Highness since she was a child, admire and admire her."
Yaolan frowned, subconsciously felt that he was not a good thing, and couldn't think of any problems, so she had to take him to the Eastern Palace first.
The two little palace ladies were playing lanterns in front, and the sky was shining brightly with the lights in the dark, making them very warm.
Tian Yunpo was thinking about something, and suddenly he saw Yaolan who was walking ahead stopped and turned to look at him viciously.
Tianyun froze for a moment, then let out a laugh.
It turns out that the maid didn't answer his words just now because she didn't understand the ridicule in his words.
Yufu was erudite and talented, and was able to do well in court at a young age. He thought that the cronies around Yufu must have also read books, and didn't want Yaolan to be so cute.
interesting.
He smiled, "Are the people around your Royal Highness the same as the girl?"
Yaolan thought for a while, of course it was different.
Both Lianzhu and Lianbi are very mature and stable. Lianzhu is combed with a good hair style, and is very familiar with jewelry matching. Lianbi made a good cup of tea, and greeted it with a very thoughtful delivery.
Yinling and Yinxue were younger, and after coming to Bei Li after the drastic changes in the Guhou Mansion, they gradually became more stable.
Yaolan is different. She grew up with Yufu since she was a child. The name of the master and servant is actually more like sisters. The two have deep feelings and Yufu will naturally not care about her playful and lazy.
She seemed to have no merits except to show her awe-inspiring presence in front of outsiders.
Yaolan opened her mouth, just about to speak, and swallowed back.
What did she tell Tian Yunpo about this
Thinking about it, he glared at him, "What's your intention to inquire about the things around your Highness? Is your Highness inquiring about the affairs of your highness?" After saying that, he walked forward without looking back.
The little girl is quite vigilant.
Tian Yunpo had to follow behind, and was speechless all the way to the East Palace.
To the East Palace, the twilight of the sky no longer needs lights, and the maids come and go in an orderly manner under the dim light of the morning, holding copper basins and other toilet items in their hands.
The hot water in the basin caused Tian Yunpo to sigh, "Didn't the girl say that your Royal Highness is diligent? I thought that your Highness would wash up the third watch, but I just woke up now."
Yaolan said sternly, "You have to take care of when your Royal Highness washes. What does Tian Gongzi consider himself, whether he is the first emperor or the first queen?"
She buttoned such a big hat all at once, and Tianyun couldn't answer the conversation.
I thought that Yufu would continue to disarm him and let him wait for a long time outside, but he didn't expect an older maid to walk out of the sleeping hall, "Tian Gongzi, your Royal Highness, please."
Tian Yunpo couldn't touch the routine for a while, look at those washing things, Yu Fu probably hasn't washed them well.
Does she plan to see herself without washing and changing clothes
Lianbi led Tian Yunpo towards the direction of the sleeping hall, and entered a peony round arch, with a silk screen made of Xishi Huansha in front of it.
Going around the screen and continuing to move forward, Lianbi lifted the bead curtain in front, and Tian Yun paused slightly before walking in quickly.
Inside was the inner room of the dormitory, and the maids who had just been holding various toiletry items outside stood in two rows, unheard of.
Tianyun frowned slightly, and soon saw Yufu sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and another round and round maid combing her hair.
What shocked him was that Yu Fu was only wearing a white silk shirt, his clothes were thin, and the curve of his white and smooth neck was exposed.
He subconsciously withdrew his gaze and imagined many scenes of Yufu talking with him in depth, but he didn't think of this one.
"Heavenly Son."
Yufu didn't turn his head back, only glanced at him in the bronze mirror with a smile.
Tianyun broke his hand, "If your Highness has anything to say, if it is for what I said yesterday, then there is no need to talk about it. What I said is the truth, even if your Highness feels offended, I won't take it back."
Lianbi twisted the hot veil on the copper basin in the maid's hand, and sent it to Yufu to wipe her face. Yufu closed her eyes and waited on her. "What I want to talk to you is the so-called marriage in your letter. thing."
Tianyun's eyes flickered, watching the white facial mask slip across her skin, and she suddenly felt a little dry mouth.
Could this be the legendary... Beauty trick
Yufu suddenly opened his eyes, "Tian Gongzi wants to marry the main palace, and this palace feels good. Anyway, the six houses of the Sannomiya are a custom since ancient times, and this palace does not mind if you have one more harem. Although the position of the main room cannot be given to you , But my palace will not treat you badly."
Tianyun was taken aback for a moment, and then a shy anger surged to his face, his voice became cold, "His Royal Highness meant, let me make you a side room?"
Lianzhu put down the comb and looked in the mirror, satisfied with the hair style that Yufu combed today, and waited for her to change into clothes.
The palace costumes of the upper dynasty are naturally much more solemn. Although it is the scorching summer, there are a total of three layers inside and outside, plus the middle garment that was originally worn next to the body is four layers.
Seeing the maid serving Yufu to change clothes, Tian Yunpo finally couldn't help but shut his eyes.
Yu Fu glanced at him sideways, "Why, are you not satisfied?"
Tian Yunpo suddenly realized that this was not a beauty trick, but a provocation.
She washes, grooms, and changes clothes in front of her face, which is contempt for him, and contempt for the subordinates who are in the upper ranks.
She regarded him as a man who was indistinguishable from a palace man, and even regarded him as an eunuch, so she did not shy away from doing these things in front of him.
Tian Yun was so angry that his face rose red. He tried his best to restrain his emotions, but he couldn't restrain himself.
From the time when he was still the grandson of the Taishifu, until the old Taishixian went to his father to enter the court, until he became the actual controller of Beili Zhaotang, he had never suffered such humiliation!
"Humph!"
He didn't answer whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied. He threw his sleeves and left, completely forgetting the manners and manners.
Yufu closed her eyes again, Lianzhu put on her clothes, and found that she was trembling all over, with her teeth biting the corners of her mouth.
When she was strange, Yufu couldn't hold it anymore, clutching her belly and laughing silently.
With such a smile, Yaolan couldn't help but also laughed, presuming that Tianyun broke away and Yufu laughed out loud.
All of a sudden, laughter in the hall, full of joy.
When Yufu returned to Bei Li and laughed so happily for the first time, Yao Lan almost rolled on the floor, "His Royal Highness looked at him just like that, his face is more uglier than eating a fly!"
Yufu took a few deep breaths before suffocating his smile, "I thought he was so forbearing, so scheming, it turned out that it was just that, and the little fierce general method made his face angry into pig liver, hahaha!"
Tian Yunpo hurriedly walked out of the sleeping hall, regretting before leaving the East Palace, he shouldn't have been so uncomfortable just now.
Most of Yufu's words are about violent generals, not to mention that there is no precedent for the empress to accept the harem, even if there is, can Gu Shubai be willing
He is from the Dongling military family, and he was educated by Dongling men and women since childhood. How could Yufu's deep relationship with him make him willing to share his wife with other men
He secretly hated himself for being too impulsive. He underestimated Yufu, but he did not expect that she was so smart at a young age that she caught her own weakness all at once.
Side room
He still feels angry when he thinks about these two words. Losing Yufu can tell!
"Godson?"
He was standing where he was hesitating whether to leave or go back, when he heard someone calling him behind him, and looked back at Gu Shubai walking towards him.
He smiled modestly and politely, "I recklessly offended Tian Gongzi yesterday, and wanted to apologize to you, not wanting Tian Gongzi to come to the East Palace by himself. Please don't mind, I didn't mean to make your courtiers embarrassed yesterday."
It was okay for him not to mention yesterday, and it was even more uncomfortable to mention that Tianyunpo yesterday.
Gu Shubai and Yufu are truly a perfect match, both of them smile and say something infuriating, but on the surface they can't grasp their handle.
He didn't sleep well last night, and he suffered so much sulking early in the morning, and his life was short for one or two years.
When he was about to speak, he suddenly smelled a familiar faint scent on Gu Shubai's body, which was very similar to what he had just smelled in the bedroom.
His scalp was numb, and he wished to leave the East Palace immediately, "I said you are a big man. Is it interesting to entangle your Highness? You even use the same bath beans as your Highness?"
He cursed in his heart, and left the East Palace without looking back when he threw his sleeves.
Yufu just stepped out of the hall, followed by a group of attendants, seeing Gu Shubai couldn't help but smile: "Did you see Tianyun broken?"
"What did you do to him?"
It is hard for Gu Shubai to imagine that the person he met today was the invincible Tianyunpo of yesterday, his tolerance and calmness disappeared.
Yufu hooked up the corner of his mouth proudly, "I knew that there was a person like Tian Yunpo, so how could he not inquire about him? Tian Yunpo does have amazing talents in government affairs, but he also has a fatal flaw. "
Gu Shubai was curious, "What are the fatal flaws of someone like him?"
Yufu looked behind him and felt that it was not very pleasant to say, so he stood on tiptoe to Gu Shubai's ear, "He is twenty-five years old, but he has never married a wife or a concubine. Nothing, do you understand?"
Gu Shubai didn't quite understand.
Yufu meant that he was inhumane, or was he not good at femininity and preferred masculine style, or was there any other unspeakable reason
Seeing that he couldn't understand, Yufu said more clearly, "He has nothing wrong with him, but he hasn't touched a woman. That's why I... He really panicked like an unmanned big girl."
Just now... What happened just now
Yufu didn’t make it clear. Gu Shubai was about to ask. She looked up at the sky and said, “I’ll come back later and speak slowly. I’ll go to the hall for early morning. Now that I’m back, I have to take over government affairs one by one. Yes."
After all, leading everyone out.
Gu Shubai stood there thinking about Yufu's talent. For a while, he suddenly thought of Tianyunpo's words—
"Even the bath beans are the same as your Highness?"
How does he know what bath bean Yufu uses
Could it be that the talent Yufu said before was actually...
------Off-topic ------
The slogan of this chapter is like this. In the 17th century, there was a trend in Europe where noble ladies met guests while bathing, which represented a kind of identity suppression.
In layman's terms, just as ordinary people do not feel shy when bathing in front of their own cats and dogs, in the eyes of aristocratic women, they are like the inferior subjects and cats and dogs that she meets.
Of course, due to the limitations of the times and national conditions, Yi Ren is not as open here, just wearing clothes, but for ancient China, this is already very bold and provocative~
