In the past, when Yun Qingci was provocative, Li Ying would probably glance at him lightly as a message to warn him not to mess around.
But at this moment, he only frowned briefly, and then wrapped the gauze for him more gently.
"Nap." Yun Qingci continued to kick him with his feet and said, "Shoes."
Li Ying squatted down, helped him take off his shoes, and said, "You have to wipe your feet."
The person who came to the door should not be in vain, Yun Qingci put his foot directly on his knee, Li Ying took off his foot bag and ordered someone to replace it with a handkerchief.
He served him carefully, from the ankles to the gaps between the toes, the warm and moist water handkerchief slipped through every place, and when it slid across the soles of his feet, Yun Qingci suddenly shrank.
He held back his face again.
I don't know if Li Ying noticed that he was ticklish, but he didn't stop at Yun Qingci's feet.
Then, without waiting for Yun Qingci to speak, he picked him up, walked a few steps, and put him on the couch.
The person serving was so good-natured, and there was no reason for the person being served to be displeased. Li Ying took off his hairpin for him, and after serving him lay down, he pulled the quilt to cover it, and patted his chest with his palm.
Yun Qingci glanced at him indifferently, turned his back, closed his eyes and started to sleep.
For a quarter of an hour at the beginning, he was thinking about what the unfinished ingot was, Your Majesty, what happened to Your Majesty
He didn't find the answer, and the body that had long been used to taking naps was found by the familiar doze. Yun Qingci quickly relaxed and fell asleep unconsciously.
A hand reached up to his ear restrainedly, and then slowly retracted.
Forbidden City, Taici Palace.
A dead branch was cut off by a well-maintained finger. Empress Dowager Zhang took the scissors and pruned it patiently, saying, "The emperor has gone to the prime minister's residence again?"
Beside her, the eunuch, Qin Qian, headed to her side: "I've been there several times."
"No wonder he didn't go crazy." She sneered, "This time it's good, the emperor rushed a few times and took him to the sky again."
Qin Qian followed with a chuckle: "In the end, it's the young son of the Xiangfu family, and it's reasonable to be a little self-willed."
"Useless things." The scissors were thrown heavily on the side of the basin. The Empress Dowager Zhang turned around, Qin Qian immediately handed over the handkerchief, she wiped her hands, and said, "The grace that was delivered to the door, how could there be any incense that I stole from myself? The emperor just doesn't understand this truth, and he did such a disreputable thing, but instead asked him to take Joe."
"Your Majesty must be really distressed when the Queen cut her wrists this time."
"No matter what, people still have to pick them up. How is Zhou Zhao's injury?"
"People are not in the way, it's just scaring Your Majesty."
"The emperor has never liked Aijia to take care of their affairs. He dares to take the initiative to mention it. It is a gift to save his life." She sat down on the main seat and took the new hand thoughtfully. The tea, said: "But the emperor is a little heavy this time, I have never seen him like this before."
"It may be the Queen's injury that has stimulated Your Majesty."
"After all, it is also a childhood sweetheart." After the queen mother said, her expression suddenly became unclear, and she said casually: "Then go for a run and coax people back first."
"Your Majesty can't even coax him back, sir..."
"The emperor will only follow him, how can he be coaxed back." The Queen Mother casually pointed out: "You have to scare him, make him afraid, just let it go, he will be arrogant."
Mrs. Yun and Yun Xiang were originally the envied husband and wife of everyone in the capital. She was a woman who couldn't rub the sand in her eyes. She was still pregnant, so she moved straight to another courtyard in the suburbs. From birth to raising, for seven years, Yun Xiang was not allowed to step into the other courtyard.
Perhaps it was because the pressure during pregnancy was too high, or because her husband who had been with others for many years had an affair with others, which caused her to have a gap. She had some mental problems, so she pinned all her hopes on Yun Qingci, and did not allow Yun Qingci to interact with anyone else. When people approached, Yun Qingci was ordered to have only her in his eyes, and he was not allowed to mention his father.
It wasn't until later that she found out that Yun Xiang was not really having an affair with others, so she let Yun Qing resign to find her father, but unfortunately Yun Qing resigned and returned to the prime minister's mansion soon after sex, which made the relationship between husband and wife who had just eased even worse. Taking the resignation as his own life, the youngest son was in a coma for nearly a year, breaking her tortured life.
Yun Qingci had no friends, and after his mother died, he resented his father, and Li Ying's appearance almost replaced the existence of Mrs. Yun.
Li Ying is the life of Yun Qingci, and taking Li Ying may abandon him to intimidate him, which is more effective than any other means.
Qin Qian bowed his head and complimented, "This minister is taught."
After Yuanbao followed back to the palace, he was called by Liu Ziru. He cautiously apologized: "Mr. Liu."
"I heard that you picked up the empress' wooden plaque today, which is a token of love between your majesty and the empress." Liu Ziru smiled and greeted him to sit down, saying, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to it, and especially asked me to come to you, A gift."
He clapped his hands, and soon someone brought a plate, Liu Ziru stretched out his hand to uncover the yellow silk on it, Yuanbao saw what was on it, and his face suddenly turned pale.
He was stiff, and his head was buzzing sharply.
Liu Ziru suddenly sighed and waved his hand hastily: "How do you do things? Seeing that the little father-in-law of Yuanbao was frightened, he went to get the one on the third floor of the wooden frame."
The eunuch duanpan hurried to accuse him, covered the body again, and after retreating to change it, Liu Ziru sighed: "Each one of them doesn't work, little father-in-law, come, use tea."
The ingot shivered and lifted it up and accidentally spread it all over. Liu Ziru immediately took the handkerchief and handed it over, and said kindly, "Be careful."
"Sir... But what do you have to say about Yuanbao?"
Anyone who can beg for food in front of the emperor is not a fool. After listening, Liu Ziru smiled and said, "Although His Majesty and the Empress have some conflicts now, they have grown up together since childhood. No one can compare this feeling."
Yuanbao looked at him.
Liu Ziru continued: "Your Majesty has been having nightmares a few days ago. During this period of time, he has been in poor spirits and has been a little different from what he did in the past, but he has been checked by the imperial doctor Xuan, and there is no serious problem. Don't let the queen worry."
Sure enough, for this matter, His Majesty didn't want the Queen to know how frantic he looked when he woke up that day, Yuanbao knew it in his heart.
The eunuch who had exchanged the reward has come back again. Liu Ziru uncovered the yellow silk for the second time, and there was a row of silver taels and a letter of worship on it.
"I heard that your mother is sick in bed, and there are two sisters below. You can use this money. This letter of worship will allow your younger brother to enter Hanhua Academy. If he finishes his studies, he can serve me in court." Liu Ziru Meaningful: "Yuanbao, thank you."
This grace has come down, you have to pick it up, you have to pick it up, it just depends on how you pick it up.
It can be a gift, or it can be a murder.
After Qin Qian returned from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he went directly to the Queen Mother's palace, and soon after, an angry shout came from inside: "What?!"
When was Yun Qingci so daring? The people she sent in the past didn't even see her, and she was in a state of ill health. She went out to see Bingxi yesterday.
The Queen Mother said with a gloomy face, "What did Yun Yu say?"
"Master Xiang said that his position is low and he dare not ask the queen's affairs."
"Presumptuous!" The Empress Dowager Zhang hated: "The Yun family is getting more and more daring, and they dare to openly oppose the Ai family!"
If the Yun family is not eliminated, disasters will inevitably arise.
A murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "What does the emperor want to do, can you find out?"
"I heard that His Majesty was having nightmares two days ago. I was afraid that the way in which he was in power would make the late emperor displeased, so I was going to pay homage to the emperor's mausoleum."
Li Ying was a filial son who had a deep relationship with the father and son of the late emperor. The late emperor belonged to the one who only needed money to save his life. When he encountered corrupt officials, he just ransacked his house and put him in prison, or picked black hair to go to the frontier, but Li Ying was different. He wanted money and he wanted to die.
He was generous to court servants and ministers, but he hated corrupt officials. Once he found out, he was imprisoned all over the house. There was an official who spoke out against his wife and children. The superior material conditions come, so they should share the guilt.
In the past few years, he has rectified the court, killed a lot of people, and ushered in the goodwill of the people. Those who have never done evil praise him for his generosity, benevolence, virtue and virtue, while those who do evil hate him to the core.
However, most of the money is searched for their own children. Since the criminal law of father and son being punished for the same crime, the phenomenon of sexual abuse has become rare.
He had gone to worship a few times before, but all of them were small drivers and never had a legal driver. The Queen Mother thought for a while, secretly thinking that this nightmare probably really shocked him.
He said, "If you go to the imperial mausoleum with the law, you won't be able to return within three days. Tomorrow, the law will lead you, and the Aijia will go to the prime minister's residence to visit the queen in person."
The last few words, she bit very hard.
Before dawn the next day, there was a sound of neat armors colliding in the palace. The commander of each battalion asked for the number of people. The honor guard hurriedly took the fan on the picture and rushed to the front door.
There was chaos in the palace, but Yun Qingci still slept sweetly. He didn't wake up until Chen Shi, and after eating the snow circle made by Aunt Ding, he sat in front of the desk with his cloak and started to practice calligraphy.
The sun rises, the emperor walks out of the Jiangshan Temple, the umbrella is held high, and the fans are surrounded.
On the other side, a small car drove out of the east gate, and the queen mother closed her eyes and said, "Detour, don't collide with the law driver."
If Li Ying knew that she was involved, he would probably complain again.
Yun Qingci suddenly sneezed, his hands crooked, and the words he finally wrote were stained.
He sighed, rolled up the discarded rice paper, and threw it into the wastebasket.
Suddenly I heard someone coming to report: "The Queen, the Queen Mother is visiting you and is already in the front hall."
After leaving the court today, Yun Xiang was also at home, receiving him.
Empress Dowager Zhang succeeded not only by luck but also by means. It's not that Yun Xiang didn't know that she had ulterior motives to promote the marriage between Yun Qingci and Li Ying, but at that time Yun Qingci was all focused on Li Ying, and he couldn't do anything.
Now watching the mother and son come one by one, it is a bit funny.
Although the Yun family is powerful, they have never been unfaithful. He and the late emperor are even more sympathetic, but in the eyes of the mother and son, they have become officials with ulterior motives.
I don't know what Yun Qingci is thinking now, but he doesn't take the initiative to mention Li Ying, and Yun Xiang is not easy to ask.
Yun Qingci arrived quickly. He was wrapped in a big cloak, and his long hair was tied with a wooden hairpin at will. He did not deliberately tie the crown, and the whole person looked simple and elegant.
The Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at it, and she felt indescribable.
I don't know if Yun Qingci didn't take her as an outsider, or didn't take her seriously. With a kind and worried face on her face, she quickly got up and walked over: "How is the injury, let the mother see, is it thinner?"
Yun Qingci avoided her hand that was about to touch her cheek, took a step back, and saluted, "My son has seen my mother."
He stepped forward and said to Yun Xiang, "My son has seen his father."
"My family, don't be too polite." Yun Xiang smiled and said, "Since you are too late, do you want Daddy to avoid it, and the two of you to talk?"
He knew in his heart that Yun Qingci was more affectionate to the Queen Mother than to him. After all, she was Li Ying's mother. He valued Li Ying, and naturally he also valued the Queen Mother.
Yun Xiang's departure is a good thing for the queen mother. With this old fox around, she has to think a lot if she wants to fool Yun Qing's speech.
She said: "It's Aijia's abruptness."
Yun Qingci said, "No need."
Empress Dowager Zhang's smile froze, her eyes fell on his face, and there was a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
Yun Qingci turned around and said warmly, "I don't know why my mother came here?"
This temptress, he wanted to see how she dared to show her ugly face in front of her father.
Yun Xiang sat down again.
The queen mother also sat down slowly and said: "The emperor is going to the imperial mausoleum today to pay homage to his ancestors, and he probably won't come to see you recently."
She is reminding Yun Qingci not to take an inch, there are too many things for the emperor, and there is no time to coax you Yun Qingci every day.
Yun Xiang interfaced, "Your Majesty is really a dutiful son."
Yun Qingci echoed: "He has been there several times before, and I don't know how he communicated with the late emperor."
Empress Dowager Zhang: "?"
What is communication? The late emperor has been dead for many years. Are you cursing your husband
Yun Xiangdao: "The meaning of Xiaoci is that I don't know if the previous emperor can understand your majesty. After all, the emperors of all dynasties have their own characteristics."
Yun Qingci went on to say: "My father is wise and talented, and I should understand the principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences. Your Majesty often goes to the imperial mausoleum, perhaps just because I miss my father."
Yun Xiang took the risk: "The late emperor and His Majesty have a deep relationship with their father and son, and His Majesty's filial piety can be learned from the world."
He noticed that Yun Qingci was deliberately targeting. Why did the late emperor understand to seek common ground while reserving differences? If so, how could Li Ying have nightmares? He added that His Majesty often went to the imperial mausoleum. It was like laughing at Li Ying to always go to the imperial mausoleum under the pretext of nightmares. .
While he was sighing, he hoped that the youngest son would be more restrained, not to say more, to see what the Queen Mother's face looked like.
Yun Qingci did not panic: "Your Majesty should be raised under the knees of the late emperor, it is only natural, but..."
He turned around and looked at the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty is going to the imperial mausoleum, how could the Queen Mother have the time to come and see me?"
We all know that although the late emperor liked Li Ying, he didn't like the Empress Dowager Zhang very much. The two always respected each other like guests. Li Ying also knew this.
But before, he would greet the Queen Mother in advance when he went, but this time he didn't.
Yun Qingci didn't know this last bit, but the queen mother knew that Li Ying not only went to the imperial mausoleum in a fair manner regardless of her mood this time, but she didn't even say hello to her before leaving, as if she didn't take her seriously. .
She hadn't thought about it at first, but now she suddenly realized that Li Ying's actions this time were completely different from before.
Yun Qingci accidentally stabbed her hard, and the Queen Mother's face turned cold on the spot.
Yun Xiang tried to save his respect: "... the queen mother is worried about you."
"Yunxiang." The queen mother said slowly: "Although the emperor is the son of Aijia, but today Aijia has to say a fair word for him, this contradiction is because Aci provoked first, which is put on others and has already been The crime of desecrating the dragon's body and stabbing the emperor can be cured, but the emperor is just handling it lightly, and Yun Xiang can be weighed clearly."
The implication is that His Majesty has already given you enough face to the Yun family, so don't condone your youngest son, making trouble too ugly.
Yun Yu was displeased in his heart, but this matter was indeed due to Yun Qing's jealousy. He could only say: "The queen mother said the most is that the child is ignorant, and the old minister must strictly discipline him."
The queen mother brought the topic back and sighed: "The emperor is in a hurry, you are young and vigorous, and he can understand when he is angry with his family, but you are the queen after all, so what does it look like to live in your mother's house like this?"
"Queen?" Yun Qing said, "He confiscated my ceremonial car. I'm still not the queen. Does the mother have no idea?"
The queen mother smiled and secretly said that she was angry with this: "You have been in a relationship for so many years, what do you care about with him? The mother will pick you up and take the queen's luan drive, how about you?"
Yun Xiang felt resentful in his heart, and wanted to say something for Yun Qingci: "The queen mother just said that the queen's crime of blaspheming the dragon's body should be fatal, but why should she talk about it now? If the child shouldn't care, So, shouldn't Your Majesty take care of it first?"
Empress Dowager Zhang: "..."
Yun has been a speech official for many years, and is very good at grabbing people's words.
"The queen mother, the old minister does not ask for anything else, but only speaks a fair word. If Your Majesty is so angry, my Yun family will never say anything, and I am willing to accept the crime, but since the ceremonial car has been confiscated, my son's reputation will be ruined, and there will be slander in the public. , Now the queen mother wants my son to take a ride back to the palace to be a nominal queen, but the old minister refuses to obey."
Empress Dowager Zhang knew that she was not his opponent, so she once again set her eyes on Yun Qingci, with a hidden threat: "Xiaoci, have you thought about it, really don't go back with the queen mother? Now Your Majesty is ashamed, but still has the heart. Let alone you, if another day…”
Yun Xiang's face sank, and he squeezed the teacup tightly.
Seeing the Queen Mother Zhang like this, he seemed to begin to understand why the young son became more and more paranoid.
He frowned and looked at Yun Qingci, who said lightly, "Then I will be abolished."
Yun Xiang suddenly felt relieved.
But the queen mother was nervous, she almost got up and lost her voice: "You can think clearly, the emperor doesn't want you again..."
Yun Xiang is no longer intolerable, why does Li Ying not want him? His child has a father and an elder brother, and is an independent person. He was blackmailed like this, as if he was talking about something. But he knew that since the Queen Mother said this, it meant that such a threat had happened more than once.
He said loudly, "Then let's leave!"
Yun Qingci lowered her eyelashes and smiled lightly.
The queen mother's expression froze, and then sneered, she didn't believe it, Yun Qingci really couldn't leave Li Ying.
Just then, there was a sound of gongs and drums outside.
The cavalry clears the way, armored soldiers, infantrymen, armed with spears, arrows, or shields, surrounded by a square formation, followed by a guard of honor, and the emperor’s chariot, composed of tens of thousands of people and several chariots, came to the Prime Minister’s residence in a mighty manner.
Butler Ding hurriedly came to report: "Master Prime Minister, the emperor, the emperor is driving by the law, and came to pick up the queen and return to the palace."
After tidying up her clothes, the Queen Mother Zhang, who stood up gracefully, softened her legs and fell back on the chair with a pale face.
