Tang Wanzhuang walked on the water and floated straight into the balcony.
In the rainstorm, she was surrounded by a mist, not even a splash of water on her. The mist splashed around her, like a fairy riding on the mist, with ribbons fluttering, so beautiful.
Zhuque was so jealous that he had to admit that this stinky woman was really beautiful.
Thinking back to the time when the boys of the same age were all flocking together, like Huangfu Qing was the most beautiful woman in the capital, but it is obvious that there are more flies surrounding you, okay
Do men just fall for fairies
It's a pity that almost all men of the same generation are losers. Why doesn't any of them take her to the bridal chamber, hmmmm, to make people laugh
Take the current Heaven Ranking and Earth Ranking for example. All the men who are ranked around them are middle-aged and not of the same generation. There is no one stronger than them in their generation... The two of them are secretly competing with each other. Who wants to be with a weaker person first, or find an older person and be laughed at by the other person for the rest of their lives
After all these years, both of them are still single. I don’t know how much of it is because they are too proud, and how much of it is because they are fighting with each other…
But for the sake of the greater good, she still lost a trick. Entering the palace to be a concubine was just a title, after all. I'm afraid Tang Wanzhuang must have laughed herself silly...
As these thoughts flashed through her mind, Tang Wanzhuang had already stepped onto the balcony and quickly inserted herself between Huangfu Qing and Zhao Changhe, saying hastily, "Don't think that you can have any political cooperation just because she is a noble concubine. This woman can't possibly marry the emperor. There must be some conspiracy! Come back with me!"
At this moment, Huangfu Qing had no idea what he was feeling.
But she smiled slightly: "Heh... Who is he to you? What do you mean he should go back with you?"
Tang Wanzhuang's expression became very calm when facing Huangfu Qing: "He is Buqi's friend and my guest."
"You are the inheritor of Bi Bo Qing Yi and Ta Shui Ling Bo." Huangfu Qing continued for her: "Prime Minister Tang has big plans. Do you want to be the emperor's teacher? Or the queen?"
Tang Wanzhuang had a blank expression on her face: "No matter what it is, it's better than some married women hugging and flirting with each other. Huangfu Qing, do you still have some shame?"
"What's there to pretend?" Huangfu Qing said leisurely, "I don't believe you can't guess that I'm the demon girl of the Four Elephants Sect. Have I ever told you, my little man?"
Tang Wanzhuang was stunned. She really hadn't told Zhao Changhe this.
Because she always felt that Zhao Changhe would be closer to her when he heard that it was the Four Symbols Sect, she didn't want Zhao Changhe to get close to Huangfu Qing.
It was not because she was jealous, but because she always felt that there was an unclear mystery surrounding Huangfu Qing, and the things involved would be very heavy, at least not something Zhao Changhe could bear at the moment.
How dare you get close to her and kiss her!
Seeing that she seemed to be in the wrong, Huangfu Qing smiled even more happily: "The Holy Church wants to recruit Zhao Changhe, and the Holy Maiden is not suitable, so I will do it. Anyway, I am married, and I am not like some people who pretend to be noble. If you have the ability, you can do it too!"
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Tang Wanzhuang couldn't compete with the evil woman in shamelessness, so she simply ignored Huangfu Qing and stared at Zhao Changhe, "Does her identity excite you more? Do you want to die?"
Huangfu Qing sneered: "Why, you still dare to openly invite a man to stay overnight? You have been trying to save face all your life, and now you don't want it anymore?"
Tang Wanzhuang said calmly: "It's my duty, why should I care about personal reputation?"
Zhao Changhe, who had no idea what to say from beginning to end, finally sighed and interrupted Huangfu Qing's mockery: "Okay... I'll go with you."
Huangfu Qing closed his mouth and watched Tang Wanzhuang relax. He could almost feel her glowing and smiled with relief.
Huangfu Qing crossed her arms and glanced at him. At this moment, she didn't feel unhappy about being defeated by Tang Wanzhuang. Because they seemed to be talking about boring love just now, but in fact, they had already said everything they wanted to communicate, and even exchanged opinions on the next plan. Zhao Changhe might leave at night, and she would not follow him. So why did she still stick around? Was she really trying to stick around
Essentially, this man doesn't have much of an interest in romance at all. He tries to force romance into serious matters, ruining the good atmosphere.
A very boring man.
He must have something to say to Tang Wanzhuang right now, but I don't know what he will say.
Speaking of this matter, it seems that Tang Wanzhuang is the most confused and pitiful one. She is the head of the Demon Suppression Bureau, but the information she has is not even as good as Zhao Changhe, who just arrived in the capital less than a day ago.
She tried her best to maintain the empire, but the empire did not give her enough in return, as if the whole world was against her.
Huangfu Qing could see that Zhao Changhe sympathized with Tang Wanzhuang.
Sympathize with a woman who is countless times stronger than him...
"Bah, such a strong woman, why is she pretending to be weak? How shameless!" Huangfu Qing angrily kicked the bathtub in the room and suddenly laughed out loud.
Zhao Changhe wanted to take a bath wherever he went, but he never managed to take a bath.
You won’t wash it together with Tang Wan’s makeup
… …
It seemed like a lot of things had happened, including drinking and making trouble, becoming famous in Beijing, going to the gambling house and coming to the lakeside, and talking a lot, but in fact, it had only been two or three hours in total, and it was not yet midnight.
The streets were deserted on a rainy night. Tang Wanzhuang held an oil-paper umbrella and quietly walked home with Zhao Changhe. There was a height difference between the two, and she looked a little tired and cute when she raised her hand to hold the umbrella. Zhao Changhe glanced at her and reached out to take the umbrella.
Tang Wanzhuang was stunned for a moment, but didn't refuse and let him take it.
The feeling of "who is taking care of whom" is instantly reversed, and any bystanders must admit that the current situation is more like a painting as it should be.
But in fact, Tang Wanzhuang's clothes were not wet, so she didn't need an umbrella.
The two men stepped on the bluestone slabs of the capital, one foot high and one foot low. Every footstep was so clear in the night, and gradually merged into a synchronized beat.
Like a heartbeat.
"Have you noticed..." Tang Wanzhuang suddenly spoke, interrupting Zhao Changhe's silent counting of beats.
"Hmm?" Zhao Changhe seemed to have just woken up from his deep thoughts.
"Huangfu Qing took you back, right? You are still wet, but she is dry."
"You mean... Genkan Kunou can't do this?"
"Xuanguan Jiuchong can do it, but I instinctively feel that she is more than that. How could she be stuck here without making any progress when she was so talented and brilliant back then?" Tang Wanzhuang sighed, "But as a noble concubine, she hasn't fought with anyone for several years. No one knows her true strength. Only if I fight her seriously can I test it out, but it's not appropriate... The noble concubine is always the noble concubine, and I am a subject. It was inappropriate for me to act in anger just now."
"Um… "
"Speaking of this, I also want to remind you that even the Book of Chaos is not necessarily trustworthy. After all, it speaks based on combat records, and there are many people without combat records. If you meet someone who is not on the list in the future, don't be as arrogant as the restaurant did today. Being nameless does not necessarily mean being weak."
"Yeah. But I think people without actual combat experience can only be so strong. They are the kind that will be challenged by people above their level."
"Not necessarily..." Tang Wanzhuang whispered, "Let's talk about Huangfu Qing... No matter how strong she is, it's always right that she is a member of the Four Symbols Sect. Don't trust the Four Symbols Sect too much because of Xia Chichi. Xia Chichi is Xia Chichi, and the Four Symbols Sect is the Four Symbols Sect. Her personal friendship with you will not affect the sect's inclination. If Zhuque wants to kill you, he will definitely not care about Xia Chichi's feelings."
"Know."
"You are so arrogant in the restaurant. Is there any purpose?"
"Yes, the bigger the fuss I make, the more likely Xia Longyuan will pay attention to it. The more he pays attention to it, the less likely others will dare to move. The storm that might have been caused by entering the capital has simply disappeared. It's that simple."
"I'm afraid it's more than that. You hoped His Majesty would see you. Unfortunately, it was Queen Wang who came."
"Um… "
"Do you dare to meet him? With your current attitude of not speaking or calling him by his first name?"
"Nothing... because he won't care. But now I don't dare to meet him. I learned something at Anle Casino. I feel that my previous guess was a bit off. It's better not to meet him rashly."
Tang Wanzhuang didn't ask him what he learned in the gambling house, but just said: "I feel like you know His Majesty better than I do."
"Because you are a subject, and I am not."
"You have your own ideas. It seems that I am impatient... Did I ruin your plan by forcibly pulling you away?"
"No, I've actually finished talking to her about what happened... I'm glad you're worried about this."
Tang Wanzhuang stopped talking.
The lanterns on the buildings on both sides swayed in the rain, illuminating the long shadows of men and women under umbrellas on the long street on the rainy night.
The two of them talked as they walked, their tone very calm and casual, as if they were an old couple taking a walk after dinner, so natural.
It was completely different from the template of Huangfu Qing just now, and even different from the intersection in Gusu.
Zhao Changhe knew why there was awkwardness between him and Huangfu Qing.
Because it lacks sincerity and impartiality, and also lacks the accumulation of time.
"If you want to leave, don't leave by yourself." Tang Wanzhuang finally said, "Go to my place and rest first. I'll find someone to confuse the enemy so that more than a dozen Zhao Changhe will leave from different directions."
"Afraid of the Queen?"
"No..." Tang Wanzhuang's voice was so soft that she couldn't even hear it: "I'm afraid of Your Majesty."
Zhao Changhe suddenly felt that Tang Wanzhuang did know everything. At least she knew as much as the people in the gambling house.
She just didn't want to know.
