After Fu Zhaoxu and Guo Shao left, Fu Jinzhan also left Jinxiang Palace. She hid in the bedroom, her heart still pounding, and she felt a little uneasy.
The sun was shining into the palace at noon, and many palace maids were standing beside the purple curtains, but Fu Jinzhan still felt inexplicably lonely. Apart from the official business of presenting the head of her elder brother Zhaoxu, her biggest feeling was not the joy of reunion or the warmth of her family, but the strongest feeling was shame and uneasiness.
Today Guo Shao spoke confidently in the palace. I wonder why he didn't feel ashamed when he met the eldest brother of the Fu family.
Maybe Fu Jinzhan is a woman, and her mind is more sensitive. Anyway, she almost couldn't pretend to be like this when facing the two of them just now. Fu Zhaoxu's arrival reminded her that if the people of the Fu family noticed her and Shao Ge'er's thoughts, how would she face the people of the Fu family again
The Fu family had been crowned kings for three generations, and their ancestors were also high-ranking officials and nobles, with a very high status. It was a family of military generals, but it also had the bearing of a powerful family, and attached great importance to the accumulation of reputation and prestige. So when Zhao Yuan wanted to marry, everyone was very concerned about the character of the other woman.
Therefore, when the family of Fu Jinzhan's ex-husband Li Chongxun was broken up, her father and mother both asked her to commit suicide or marry to atone for her sins, which was the result of their great emphasis on reputation and etiquette.
I want to take a shower and change clothes, Fu Jinzhan said worriedly.
The head of the personal attendants, Mu Shanggong, immediately met her request and quickly sent someone to prepare it. In less than half an hour, Fu Jinzhan arrived at the bathtub where clear hot water had been prepared.
The cold weather of September had already arrived, but the bathroom was steaming and warm. Steam filled the air, covering the entire room with a thick white mist. Standing around were beautiful palace maids in their teens, helping Fu Jinzhan undress.
Another girl with delicate appearance and smooth skin was also undressing. She never did other work, and her hands were white and smooth. She was dedicated to serving Fu Jinzhan in bathing. In the past, the girl didn't need to take off her clothes, but now that Fu Jinzhan was in the pool, she had to take off her thick outer clothes and wear thin clothes to help Fu Jinzhan massage her body.
Fu Jinzhan took off her clothes, and even the palace maids blushed. In the palace, the most common thing to see is the body of women, and the palace maids would not care, but they would never see a body as beautiful as the empress dowager's again.
The maids who looked delicate and tender at first glance lacked a certain charm in front of the empress dowager. Once they stood together, they looked thin and pale. The maids standing by lowered their heads, but they all secretly looked at the empress dowager from behind. The round and perky buttocks, with their beautiful contours that could not be depicted even with meticulous brushwork, were set off by the graceful waist and slender white thighs, making the maids dare not look directly at them.
The twenty-seven-year-old empress dowager was more beautiful than the seventeen-year-old palace maid, and had more spirit and temperament than the young girls.
Fu Jinzhan gently tested the water temperature with her jade feet, and then walked down into the pool. There was a smooth shallow pool beside the wooden pool, covered with a white cotton towel, and Fu Jinzhan lay on the towel, with her arms on the pillow, she sighed quietly, and relaxed in the water.
At this time, a palace maid knelt by the pool and carefully placed an exquisite glass cup on the low wooden table. Then, the purple-red wine was evenly poured into the crystal glass cup.
Fu Jinzhan stretched out her hand, and the maid put the cup in her hand with one hand, and gently held her jade hand with the other hand. Fu Jinzhan looked at the red liquid in the cup and chanted lazily: Fine grape wine in the luminous cup, the pipa urges me to drink. Don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield, how many people have ever returned from the battles in ancient times.
The young woman, whose body was already soaked, stood in the pool beside her and whispered: The Queen Mother is truly a heroic woman, although she is not as good as a real man.
After saying this, the young lady gently placed her fingers on Fu Jinzhan's lower back and began to knead it skillfully from light to heavy.
Forget it, Fu Jinzhan suddenly said, I'm a bit bored, let's be quiet for a while.
Yes. The young lady didn't dare to ask more questions, and stood aside with a look of grievance on her face.
Fu Jinzhan's body was softened by the soak, and she inadvertently recalled another feeling: the rough palms, the hot lips, the stinging light beard, a faint scent that could make one's heart beat to the point of suffocation, and a low and gentle yet eager and passionate voice.
Instantly, Fu Jinzhan felt her cheeks getting hot, even her ears were burning, and she immediately put the glass cup to her lips and took a big sip. Because she would blush when she drank a little. Her strong and slender thighs suddenly tensed up under the water, and her legs couldn't help stretching downwards, even her jade feet were straightened. She bit her teeth, so she didn't twist her body, but just endured it motionlessly.
You all go to the door, I want to be quiet for a while. Fu Jinzhan said in a trembling voice.
Yes. The palace maids bent their knees slightly, and the girl in the pool also splashed out a puddle of water and climbed up.
Shao Ge'er was not a handsome man, and compared with Fu Zhaoxu today, he looked even more ordinary. However, every tone and movement of that familiar and trusted face made her feel very kind and warm. Fu Jinzhan was always very proud, whether in torment or grievance. She looked down on most people who claimed to be real men, but she didn't know how Shao Ge'er entered her heart, and once he entered, he hid very deeply.
Fu Jinzhan couldn't help but greedily recall the time when she asked him to check her virginity. Her memory was very good, and she didn't miss a single detail from beginning to end, and was immersed in it. Something warm was flowing in her body, as if water was poured into her ears and poured out when she tilted her head.
But another thought disturbed her absorbed mind. From time to time, someone from the Fu family would show up, making her feel depressed sometimes.
If Fu Ermei or my father and brother knew that I had done that with Shao Ge'er, what would they think of me? Fu Jinzhan kept thinking about this question.
When a person lives in this world, she is not entirely herself. She is someone else's daughter, someone else's biological sister, someone else's younger sister; she is also the widow of the late emperor, the mother of the emperor, the empress dowager of billions of people in the world, and many more identities.
If all the people related to him despise him in their hearts, then Fu Jinzhan would not know who he is and would not be able to find his place in the world.
Is the price really worth it for a little selfish desire? No, it's not just desire, there are more indescribable thoughts. Fu Jinzhan's heart is confused and chaotic.
At this time, Guo Shao still looked calm. He sat on a chair in the military camp, with his legs apart, head held high and chest puffed out, sitting very steadily.
Wang Chenggang, former cavalry commander of the Fourth Army of the Left Wing, native of Xuzhou, lives in Lishufang, east of Tokyo; now in the army, the third commander of the First Army of the Left Wing of the Huben Army, the fourth team of the first division, the second fire, cavalry commander. A scholar read while calling a young man who was waiting in line, and said, I know you can't remember it for a while, just remember that your commander is Li De, and the tenth general is Li Mazi, go over there to recognize the people.
The armored man came up, took a cloth bag with both hands, dipped his thumb in red ink, pressed a handprint on the paper, and said: I can't read. The scholar sitting there said: Draw a circle.
The scholar was a minor official like the military counselor. Zuo You used to work in this position, and when he had no other choice, he could also act as a doctor. After being in the army for a long time, he probably knew some prescriptions for treating wounds and external injuries.
The man took the purse, walked up to Guo Shao, bowed and said: Thank you, General Guo, for the reward.
Guo Shao didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
He could not remember most of the soldiers who passed by him like a parade of horses and lanterns, but the soldiers definitely remembered that it was him who was the commander who rewarded them.
At this time, Zuo You came over and said: This place is the third command of the first army of the left wing of the Tiger Guard Army. It will receive 200 cavalry soldiers and horses. The other commands will also have a similar number.
The 20,000 troops of the left wing of the original Hujie Army were divided into 62 commands according to their original strength, with each command having about 300 people. On the basis of the original personnel, each command accepted about 200 soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army, making a full command of 500 people, and a total of about 12,000 soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army.
These were the reorganization plans that Guo Shao had come up with himself, and Zuo You repeated them to check the procedures.
Zuo You continued: After the reorganization of the Huben Army, there were more than 12,000 cavalrymen from the former Iron Cavalry Army and more than 2,000 cavalrymen from the former Tiger Jie Army's left wing, for a total of more than 14,000 cavalrymen; 8,000 Khitan horses were captured, so there were 8,000 cavalry infantrymen; and more than 10,000 infantrymen. The total strength of the Huben Army was about 33,000.
Guo Shao nodded and said: There is no omission or mistake, this is the number I remembered.
