I am fish
Chapter 120
"Hey? Did I disturb you?" Ah Liao came in and saw Zhen Wenjun kneeling behind the table, his face blushing, and Wei Tingxu simply sat on the table, slowly putting back the knocked-over fruit On the plate, the wine jug also got up, stood up and responded to Ah Liao:
"Excuse me, didn't you come here too? Since we're here, let's watch the moon and drink together." Wei Tingxu smiled politely. If it were someone else, he might have thought that Wei Tingxu was warmly inviting. Ah Liao had been with her since childhood. Stay together to understand what she looks like and what she says.Now Wei Tingxu looks like he wants to kill someone.
A Liao has a strong sense of survival, and after a few laughs he was about to take the girls away. A Ran dragged the elder Sun Wu out of the crowd, squeezed forward and laughed, "Yes, yes, it's almost winter, it's here It’s not such a good weather in winter to sit in the yard and drink and watch the moon.” A Ran called everyone to sit down, called a few house slaves to bring all the furniture, and placed them in a circle in the bamboo garden, calling Sun Wu and Wei Tingxu sat together.
Zhen Wenjun was very sensible and stepped aside, remembering that Xiao Hua was by her side, but it was replaced by Ah Liao at some point.
"Sister Wenjun! It's been a while since I saw you, and you've become so beautiful and beautiful! I've known for a long time that my sister is a piece of uncarved jade. It seems that Tingxu has carved you a lot these years. Let me appreciate it. The beauty of my sister Wenjun!" Ah Liao rushed towards Zhen Wenjun impatiently, Zhen Wenjun didn't even look at her, he held the fruit-peeling dagger in his hand and danced dazzledly, and finally pointed the tip of the knife horizontally, pointing at the tip of Ah Liao's nose.
Ah Liao was almost poked out, so he laughed and sat back: "My younger sister is still so steadfast and strong, I like it. Come on, I'm not kidding, Ah Zheng, pour wine for everyone."
"Yes." The beautiful woman named "Ah Zheng" who had been standing behind Ah Liao came out, took the jug from the slave's hand with a smile, and poured wine for everyone.
Zhen Wenjun remembered this lady, he had met her once in Qu County, Suichuan.Ah Zheng's melon-shaped face, Dan Fengyan's eyes are smiling all the year round, and he looks like a gentle person, as if he never speaks loudly to anyone.She looked about 25 and six, and was wearing a long skirt with narrow sleeves. Every time she poured wine for someone, she would kneel beside him and said softly, "Please use it."
After Ah Zheng poured the wine for the elder Sun Wu and left, the elder Sun Wu whispered in Wei Tingxu's ear, "I'm here to visit Duke Wei, and by the way I would like to ask about Zilian's situation. I really don't want to disturb you, but I have no choice Captured by Sister Aran."
Wei Tingxu found it funny: "Second brother has already returned to Mengliang, planning to recover the three counties of Mingsha. My father will not be able to pull him back for a while."
"Huh? Could it be that you arranged all this, Zizhuo?"
Wei Tingxu smiled but said nothing.
"That's right, if Zi Lian stays in Runing, I'm afraid it's hard to escape marrying into the royal family." Zhang Sun Wu thought it funny, "If he dies and refuses to marry, the Wei family may be implicated. Only by rushing to the front line to fight. Maybe escaped a catastrophe. But in this way, wouldn't it be difficult for Zilian to come back?"
"I think Empress Dowager Geng is making up her mind about this matter. Your Majesty is not very enthusiastic. The second brother has been on the front line for two or three years. The queen mother must not wait, and it is not good to call the second brother back with the concubine, otherwise it will delay the military plane. , even if she is the queen mother, it is easy to be involved in a few things. If the second brother doesn't come back, he can't send his majesty to the northern line. If he can't make a prince, what's the use of this noble concubine? If we don't find someone else. We still have a lot of handsome men Yes, it's not just the Wei family. Isn't that right, Zhanying?"
Chang Sun Wu heard that what she said earlier was quite reasonable, and some words to praise her wit were already on his lips, but at the end of the conversation, Chang Sun Wu seemed to smell a trick:
"Zi Zhuo, you are being unkind. If you send Zi Lian away, isn't the biggest target left for you to be our eldest grandson's family?"
"Really?" Wei Tingxu seemed to suddenly realize, "Zhan Ying's words are reasonable. It seems that the next worthy candidate for the imperial concubine may be Zhan Ying."
Chang Sun Wu: "..."
Sitting on the sidelines, Zhen Wenjun watched Wei Tingxu and Chang Sun Wu whispering to each other, and felt a little sour.However, Wei Tingxu said that even if he is married to Chang Sun Wu, it is a combination of interests, and he will not make a fake show for real.Zhen Wenjun didn't want to make things difficult for Wei Tingxu by making things difficult for him, and it would hurt him even more if he sulked himself.Simply be more open-minded, Wei Tingxu has always known it well, and he can definitely handle it properly.
Ah Zheng knelt beside Zhen Wenjun to help her pour wine, Zhen Wenjun thanked her, but Ah Zheng did not leave immediately, but looked at Zhen Wenjun carefully.
When Zhen Wenjun was about to pick up the wine glass, he found Ah Zheng staring at him, a little confused: "Madam Ah Zheng, is there something wrong?"
Ah Zheng smiled and shook his head, and left.
Originally, two lamb legs were enough for Zhen Wenjun to eat, but unexpectedly so many people came to the bamboo garden, Xiaohua went to the kitchen to carry ten lamb legs and two large pieces of pork neck, and roasted the lamb legs to the full The courtyard was full of fragrance, while building a wall on the charcoal fire, spread the sliced pork neck piece by piece.While the meat was cooked, Xiaohua was free to clean the fruit. She peeled fresh lychees specially for Wei Tingxu. After peeling off the flesh and core, she cut them into small pieces, and tasted a piece of each one. , and placed it in Wei Tingxu's hand after confirming that it was not poisonous.
Zhen Wenjun has been watching Wei Tingxu all the time, so he naturally discovered this detail.
When she first came to Wei Tingxu's side, when she and Xie Fuchen were fighting the most intensely, various assassination methods emerged one after another.It was understandable that Wei Tingxu was cautious at that time, but now that the nine Xie clans have all been slaughtered, and the imperial eunuch is about to come, there are scenes of gradually recovering, singing and dancing everywhere, she is still so cautious.
I thought it was because Xiao Hua had been serving her for many years and couldn't change her cautious style, but when she went to see Wei Tingxu, she didn't even eat the lychees that Xiao Hua had tried to poison.Ever since a large group of people came to Zhuyuan, Ting Xu didn't take another sip or drink. Zhen Wenjun knew that she didn't like to eat with others, but she really didn't eat a bite, and she couldn't go up to persuade her. She was really anxious .
Sister A Ran sat beside Chang Sun Wu, and found that Chang Sun Wu and Wei Tingxu didn't communicate with each other after a few words, and the whole courtyard was filled with Ah Liao's voice.
Ah Liao said that she was ordered to go around to recruit strange people these days to form the first "women's army" in ancient times.
She said that about half of the women's army are bandits or rangers. These women have learned martial arts from their elders since they were young, and they have practiced martial arts well. It's a pity that life is forced to be bandits.Now His Majesty spends a lot of money to recruit them, which is the joy of the court and the best opportunity for them.Among this group of people, there were even those who almost became loess rebels. His Majesty said that as long as they can swear to serve the imperial court, the past will never be blamed.In addition to bandits and rangers, there are also some strange people buried in small villages and well-educated counselors from rich families.Ah Liao's eyes were opened this time.Although only 500 people have been summoned for the time being, this is only the first batch. After she rests for a while, she will continue to recruit the second batch.
Wei Tingxu knew that this was the first step for Li Yanyi to promote Da Yu's status as a woman. From the initial planning to the implementation of specific details, Wei Tingxu actually made everything by himself.Although Wei Tingxu has not yet entered the official position, she has already become one of Li Yanyi's most important advisers. She specifically discusses with Li Yanyi how to formulate new laws, so that the status of women can be reasonably improved, so as to consolidate the position of empress.Even Wei Lun, who has been in the political arena for many years, may not be able to understand the position of women in Da Yu and all the obstacles to their advancement. The law of darkness in light.
After the establishment of the Women's Army, they undergo a rigorous training process. After being evaluated in terms of quality and loyalty, a group will be eliminated, and the rest of the elite will be placed next to Li Yanyi.This is a group of powerful dark guards directly affiliated to Li Yanyi, who specialize in carrying out orders secretly issued by the emperor.These hidden guards are facing the Huben army. The Huben army is responsible for defending on the bright side, and this group of female dark guards is responsible for attacking in secret.
Li Yanyi greatly appreciated this proposal. If Li Ju had such a team lurking in the dark, she might have been assassinated before she knew it.More importantly, Li Yanyi had been observing the entire imperial court as a central bystander for the past 30 years, and was able to discover problems in it.Now that she is in a high position, she must use Confucianism to restrain her courtiers.Although it is so on the surface, it cannot be restrained in private.The current throne was obtained by her by extraordinary means. She knows how many people keep silent, but in their hearts they are still scolding her that this witch is really covering the sky with one hand. People are everywhere.
She must not be careless.How did she come to be the emperor, how much blood was on her hands, she knew it well.
In the final analysis, Li Yanyi formed this women's army because she was panicked.She wants to use sharp means to control the growth of forces similar to hers, and to eradicate all forces that may overthrow her and make her follow in Li Ju's footsteps.
"It's just that I'm worried that the women's army will be opposed by the ministers before they actually enter the Forbidden Garden." Li Yanyi appreciated Wei Tingxu's advice to her, but all these implementations are based on the fact that the women's army can really enter the Forbidden Garden. .It's not good for the female officer's decree to be promulgated immediately, after all, the rules of the ancestors are here.Yesterday, Li Yanyi asked Wei Tingxu to go to Huai Chen Mansion to look for her because of this headache.The selection of the Women's Army has come to an end, a total of 300 people have passed the inspection, and Li Yanyi has already named them "Chasing the Moon".
"Actually, this matter is quite easy to handle." Wei Tingxu easily threw back this sentence after listening to Li Yanyi's worries.
"Oh? Zizhuo, tell me quickly!" Li Yanyi's eyes were sharp, and he strode to her desk to urge her.
"Isn't there a little yellow door next to your Majesty who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and always wants to find His Majesty to relieve his worries?"
"That's right." Li Yanyi felt disgusted at the mention of this little Huangmen, "This little Huangmen is a distant relative of Zuo Xu, and he entered the palace just to beg for a meal. I saw him being bullied by other Huangmen that day, it was really pitiful, I put him by my side to serve him out of my teacher's affection, but I didn't expect this kid to have something wrong in his heart! If it wasn't for him being inseparable, I would definitely kill him!"
"Don't be upset, Your Majesty. This miscellaneous thing must be eliminated. Your Majesty's sage kept him to use it to introduce Zhuiyue in a legitimate way. It is really a long-term plan." Wei Tingxu's soft words made Li Yanyi suddenly enlightened.
The reason why eunuchs are eunuchs is because they are afraid that they will be promiscuous in the palace, but now that the Empress is in power, even eunuchs who have been castrated still make the Empress be on guard.If all the servants and eunuchs are replaced by women, it should be the best solution, and no one can gossip too much.Furthermore, even if a well-trained army is brought in by the Empress's side, it is not necessary to grant any official position, and temporarily replace the servant with the status of a palace maid.
This is just the first step.Once Zhuiyue replaced the servant, it would be a matter of course to replace the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and serve as the supervisor of the internal servant.Wei Tingxu often finds a different way to start with very small things, but it is unexpectedly effective. It was the same when he used Hong Ai as a clue to conquer Xie and Feng Yidang in one fell swoop.
And Li Yanyi discovered a detail.
Wei Tingxu, who used to directly analyze the situation and tell the strategy, has now learned to beat around the bush.She didn't explain it directly, but let Li Yanyi experience it by herself in a guiding way. The strategy she finally came up with was "the son of heaven is wise", which had nothing to do with her, and she didn't want to steal Li Yanyi's limelight at all.
Li Yanyi is no longer the eldest princess who rode in a carriage with her and traveled abroad. Li Yanyi understands it, and Wei Tingxu understands it even more.
Of course, Wei Tingxu, a smart person, knows how many things have been cooked by rabbits and dogs, and he is extra careful.
"Okay." Li Yanyi said, "That's it."
A Liao mentioned the Women's Army, which caused Wei Tingxu's thoughts to wander for a while, but A Ran called her three times and she didn't respond.
A Ran thought that her sister ignored her on purpose, so she knelt down beside Wei Tingxu, held her hand and said, "Did you hear what sister said?"
"Hmm..." Wei Tingxu actually didn't listen, but she knew what Sister A Ran would say without listening to her, "There is no rush to get married."
"It's not a matter of urgency." Aran also knew her sister, and knew that she would answer like this, so she put on a smile and said, "It's a matter of course, why don't you get married as soon as possible, and let your parents hug your grandson as soon as possible?" At the beginning, you said that it is difficult to marry a sister because of the war, but now that the war is over and the new emperor ascends the throne, isn’t it a great day for the whole world to celebrate? I think I will choose an auspicious day in the near future to set the date, Don't let my mother and sister worry about it anymore, huh?"
Sister Aran's tone of voice has been the same for many years, without any change at all.Wei Tingxu knew that if she opened her mouth to refute at this moment, her sister would have a hundred sentences waiting behind her, so she simply smiled and turned to the elder Sun Wu, whose face was uglier than hers, and said:
"Let Zhanying decide this matter."
In one night, the elder Sun Wu, who had been pitted twice in a row, was stuffed in his heart with thousands of words, so he could only smile wryly.
Zhen Wenjun, who had been concentrating on eating meat and fruits, obediently throughout the whole process without interrupting or losing his temper, just kept looking at Wei Tingxu, his watery eyes were full of grievances, and she didn't say anything about her grievances.
"Excuse me." Wei Tingxu stood up and walked in front of Zhen Wenjun, "Wenjun, come with me to get some wandering wine. I picked the petals of wandering flowers to make wine when you were on the expedition. I think I should be able to drink it." .So many friends are here today, so it’s time to share with everyone. Let’s go Wenjun, help me move out.”
"Huh? It's..." Zhen Wenjun was a little confused at first, why didn't she know when Wei Tingxu had a drink?It's been a long time since I came back and I haven't heard her mention it.After thinking about it for a moment, Wei Tingxu should be looking for an excuse to leave, so he immediately stood up and followed behind Wei Tingxu.
A Ran's elder sister called "Zi Zhuo", Wei Tingxu didn't look back, when A Ran was about to follow, Sun Wu held her back, and asked in a soft and eccentric voice: "Oh, I suddenly thought of something. Something. Doesn’t Sister Aran have a marriage contract? I don’t know when they will get married?”
Ah Ran has a headache when she thinks about her terrible marriage. The other party is a general who has his own general's mansion, but she dislikes him as a warrior. She must be sweating all day long. She still likes elegant Confucian scholars, so she has been procrastinating.Now when asked, he prevaricates: "I'm not in a hurry."
"How can you not be in a hurry? Sister Aran should get married as soon as possible and give birth to a fat baby as soon as possible. Besides, sister is not in a hurry, I am in a hurry." The elder Sun Wu seemed quite sincere, "Sister is not married, how can Zi Zhuo grab it in the first place?" Get married first? There is no such rule in the ancestors."
"I……"
"Let's not talk about it, Zhanying understands that my sister is shy, and my daughter's family will not take the initiative. So, tomorrow I will go to the general's mansion and beat that stupid fool hard, so that he can come to propose marriage soon!"
"you……"
"Ok, deal!"
Aran: "..."
Wei Tingxu and Zhen Wenjun walked out of the bamboo garden together, and actually went to the wine cellar.
"Huh? Sister really made wine?" Zhen Wenjun didn't expect it.
"Why should I lie."
When walking down the steps, Zhen Wenjun called her to stop her, went to carry the gauze lantern and walked ahead, holding Wei Tingxu's hand with one hand lantern and the other, feeling the coldness of the wine cellar while walking, so he stopped in his tracks.
Wei Tingxu asked her why she stopped, and Zhen Wenjun handed her the lamp: "Sister, please hold it for me for a while."
Wei Tingxu took the lamp, and Zhen Wenjun took off his coat and put it on her:
"The weather is getting colder, and it's even worse in the wine cellar. Sister, don't catch the cold."
Seeing that she was gentle and considerate, Wei Tingxu pulled her skirt and took her down.Zhen Wenjun lowered his neck, matching Wei Tingxu's height, and pressed his lips against hers.
"I've already said it before, what do you call me?" There were only the two of them in the wine cellar, Wei Tingxu's voice was very thin and low, but it was amplified by the empty wine cellar, rippling in Zhen Wenjun's heart.
"Tingxu..." Zhen Wenjun's voice became hoarse.
The light of the gauze lamp flickered across Wei Tingxu's face, and Zhen Wenjun's heart was beating thumpingly.
She thought of Wei Tingxu who was under her that night, hugging her and moaning suppressedly, and her throat became dry unconsciously.
"What are you thinking?" Wei Tingxu put his arms around her neck, just like when she held Wei Tingxu before, Wei Tingxu stabilized his balance.
"I was wondering why you are so pretty."
"No." Wei Tingxu exposed her, "You are thinking about other things."
"Oh? Then what am I thinking?" Zhen Wenjun protects her waist, she likes being alone like this, if possible, she wants to stay with Wei Tingxu in an empty wine cellar until the end of time, no one will disturb them.She guessed that Wei Tingxu might also think so, and they might have to stand here for a while, fearing that her waist would be uncomfortable, so they supported her to relieve the pressure.
Wei Tingxu took advantage of her unpreparedness and kissed her.
The feeling of entering Wei Tingxu's body last night flashed through Zhen Wenjun's mind.Fiery and fragile, she explored this damp wilderness cautiously at first, and then Wei Tingxu's voice and tears almost made her lose control.
The two fought until midnight, Zhen Wenjun was overwhelmed with excitement, but Wei Tingxu couldn't take it anymore, so she had to give up, and the two embraced and fell asleep.
Wei Tingxu may not be the most perfect, but she must be the one who fascinates Zhen Wenjun the most.
Once he has tasted the forbidden fruit, he will never forget it. At this time, Wei Tingxu offered a kiss and immediately aroused Zhen Wenjun's impulse.Lips and tongues intersected fiercely, and Zhen Wenjun heard Wei Tingxu's breathless breath being kissed by her, which made her even more excited, and he hugged Wei Tingxu and sat on the big wine tank, so that she could have a fulcrum Don't have to stand too tiring.
……
The two went to get the wine and took more than half an hour before they came out.
Xiaohua has been standing at the door of the wine cellar, knowing that she shouldn't go in, and afraid that Zhen Wenjun will make the girl suffer because of her inappropriateness, so she stands here and waits.
Finally, Zhen Wenjun walked out with Wei Tingxu in his arms, with a jug of wine hanging on his waist. This was the first jug of wine that Wei Tingxu tried to make under Xiao Hua's instruction.
"Hey? Why are you here?" Zhen Wenjun's lips were a little red and swollen, but his hair was combed and neat.Her complexion hadn't completely faded yet, and she smiled forcedly when she saw Xiao Hua.Zhen Wenjun felt that he was a sinner who broke a certain balance and subverted certain relationships, so he didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Hua.
At this time, Wei Tingxu let her hold her in his arms without strength, glanced at Xiao Hua, and did not speak.
Xiaohua noticed that Wei Tingxu's lips were also a little swollen, and there was a red spot of blood on his neck.
"What happened to the girl's neck? But was she injured?" Xiao Hua didn't blame Zhen Wenjun, she knew that she had no position to blame, but was genuinely worried about Wei Tingxu.
It's just that her worry made Zhen Wenjun very embarrassed, and Wei Tingxu was speechless, so he could only say weakly:
"I'm not hurt. Xiao Hua, go down, there is Mr. Wen here."
Xiao Hua accompanied Wei Tingxu since she was a child and took care of her daily life. She has no experience in that field at all, so it's no wonder she can't understand the key points.Xiaohua could only say "yes", and went back to Wei Tingxu's room to help her lay out the quilt. After thinking about it, she changed to a wider quilt that was big enough for two people to cover together, placed two pillows, and ordered Went to Wei Tingxu's favorite aromatherapy, and then left.
"I won't marry the grandson Wu."
Zhen Wenjun heard Wei Tingxu say this after taking two sips of wandering wine.
"It doesn't matter." Zhen Wenjun said, "I understand that the marriage of the children of your aristocratic family is an important means to strengthen the clan. I will not be ignorant of good and bad, besides you and the eldest grandson Wu..."
"In the past, it was an alliance of interests. It was because of fighting against the Xie family. My father was afraid that once he and the grandson uncle passed away, our generation would be divided. At that time, it was Xie Fuchen's wish. But now that Xie Fuchen is dead, we want to unite His interests have been transferred." Wei Tingxu said firmly, "I will not marry him."
Zhen Wenjun was very happy in his heart, and he still tried to be brave: "What are you telling me about this...I have already said it, I don't care."
"Really." Wei Tingxu nodded, "So you don't care. That's right. I was confused when I said what to do. What my sister reminded me is that I will think about it again. After all, Changsun Wu is also a rare good man. people."
Zhen Wenjun didn't expect her to turn her face when she said that she would turn her back, stood up and left, and immediately followed up to admit her mistake: "Why is she a younger sister again, isn't she called Wenjun? I made a mistake, good sister, don't be angry, or your ass will be beaten by you How about beating until you are happy? Sister! Tingxu! Sister Tingxu!"
"Excuse me, didn't you come here too? Since we're here, let's watch the moon and drink together." Wei Tingxu smiled politely. If it were someone else, he might have thought that Wei Tingxu was warmly inviting. Ah Liao had been with her since childhood. Stay together to understand what she looks like and what she says.Now Wei Tingxu looks like he wants to kill someone.
A Liao has a strong sense of survival, and after a few laughs he was about to take the girls away. A Ran dragged the elder Sun Wu out of the crowd, squeezed forward and laughed, "Yes, yes, it's almost winter, it's here It’s not such a good weather in winter to sit in the yard and drink and watch the moon.” A Ran called everyone to sit down, called a few house slaves to bring all the furniture, and placed them in a circle in the bamboo garden, calling Sun Wu and Wei Tingxu sat together.
Zhen Wenjun was very sensible and stepped aside, remembering that Xiao Hua was by her side, but it was replaced by Ah Liao at some point.
"Sister Wenjun! It's been a while since I saw you, and you've become so beautiful and beautiful! I've known for a long time that my sister is a piece of uncarved jade.

Ah Liao rushed towards Zhen Wenjun impatiently, Zhen Wenjun didn't even look at her, he held the fruit-peeling dagger in his hand and danced dazzledly, and finally pointed the tip of the knife horizontally, pointing at the tip of Ah Liao's nose.
Ah Liao was almost poked out, so he laughed and sat back: "My younger sister is still so steadfast and strong, I like it. Come on, I'm not kidding, Ah Zheng, pour wine for everyone."
"Yes." The beautiful woman named "Ah Zheng" who had been standing behind Ah Liao came out, took the jug from the slave's hand with a smile, and poured wine for everyone.

After being evaluated in terms of quality and loyalty, a group will be eliminated, and the rest of the elite will be placed next to Li Yanyi.This is a group of powerful dark guards directly affiliated to Li Yanyi, who specialize in carrying out orders secretly issued by the emperor.These hidden guards are facing the Huben army. The Huben army is responsible for defending on the bright side, and this group of female dark guards is responsible for attacking in secret.
Li Yanyi greatly appreciated this proposal. If Li Ju had such a team lurking in the dark, she might have been assassinated before she knew it.More importantly, Li Yanyi had been observing the entire imperial court as a central bystander for the past 30 years, and was able to discover problems in it.Now that she is in a high position, she must use Confucianism to restrain her courtiers.Although it is so on the surface, it cannot be restrained in private.The current throne was obtained by her by extraordinary means. She knows how many people keep silent, but in their hearts they are still scolding her that this witch is really covering the sky with one hand. People are everywhere.
She must not be careless.How did she come to be the emperor, how much blood was on her hands, she knew it well.
In the final analysis, Li Yanyi formed this women's army because she was panicked.She wants to use sharp means to control the growth of forces similar to hers, and to eradicate all forces that may overthrow her and make her follow in Li Ju's footsteps.
"It's just that I'm worried that the women's army will be opposed by the ministers before they actually enter the Forbidden Garden." Li Yanyi appreciated Wei Tingxu's advice to her, but all these implementations are based on the fact that the women's army can really enter the Forbidden Garden. .It's not good for the female officer's decree to be promulgated immediately, after all, the rules of the ancestors are here.Yesterday, Li Yanyi asked Wei Tingxu to go to Huai Chen Mansion to look for her because of this headache.The selection of the Women's Army has come to an end, a total of 300 people have passed the inspection, and Li Yanyi has already named them "Chasing the Moon".
"Actually, this matter is quite easy to handle." Wei Tingxu easily threw back this sentence after listening to Li Yanyi's worries.
"Oh? Zizhuo, tell me quickly!" Li Yanyi's eyes were sharp, and he strode to her desk to urge her.
"Isn't there a little yellow door next to your Majesty who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and always wants to find His Majesty to relieve his worries?"
"That's right." Li Yanyi felt disgusted at the mention of this little Huangmen, "This little Huangmen is a distant relative of Zuo Xu, and he entered the palace just to beg for a meal. I saw him being bullied by other Huangmen that day, it was really pitiful, I put him by my side to serve him out of my teacher's affection, but I didn't expect this kid to have something wrong in his heart! If it wasn't for him being inseparable, I would definitely kill him!"
"Don't be upset, Your Majesty. This miscellaneous thing must be eliminated. Your Majesty's sage kept him to use it to introduce Zhuiyue in a legitimate way. It is really a long-term plan." Wei Tingxu's soft words made Li Yanyi suddenly enlightened.
The reason why eunuchs are eunuchs is because they are afraid that they will be promiscuous in the palace, but now that the Empress is in power, even eunuchs who have been castrated still make the Empress be on guard.If all the servants and eunuchs are replaced by women, it should be the best solution, and no one can gossip too much.Furthermore, even if a well-trained army is brought in by the Empress's side, it is not necessary to grant any official position, and temporarily replace the servant with the status of a palace maid.
This is just the first step.Once Zhuiyue replaced the servant, it would be a matter of course to replace the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and serve as the supervisor of the internal servant.Wei Tingxu often finds a different way to start with very small things, but it is unexpectedly effective. It was the same when he used Hong Ai as a clue to conquer Xie and Feng Yidang in one fell swoop.
And Li Yanyi discovered a detail.
Wei Tingxu, who used to directly analyze the situation and tell the strategy, has now learned to beat around the bush.She didn't explain it directly, but let Li Yanyi experience it by herself in a guiding way. The strategy she finally came up with was "the son of heaven is wise", which had nothing to do with her, and she didn't want to steal Li Yanyi's limelight at all.
Li Yanyi is no longer the eldest princess who rode in a carriage with her and traveled abroad. Li Yanyi understands it, and Wei Tingxu understands it even more.
Of course, Wei Tingxu, a smart person, knows how many things have been cooked by rabbits and dogs, and he is extra careful.
"Okay." Li Yanyi said, "That's it."
A Liao mentioned the Women's Army, which caused Wei Tingxu's thoughts to wander for a while, but A Ran called her three times and she didn't respond.
A Ran thought that her sister ignored her on purpose, so she knelt down beside Wei Tingxu, held her hand and said, "Did you hear what sister said?"
"Hmm..." Wei Tingxu actually didn't listen, but she knew what Sister A Ran would say without listening to her, "There is no rush to get married."
"It's not a matter of urgency." Aran also knew her sister, and knew that she would answer like this, so she put on a smile and said, "It's a matter of course, why don't you get married as soon as possible, and let your parents hug your grandson as soon as possible?" At the beginning, you said that it is difficult to marry a sister because of the war, but now that the war is over and the new emperor ascends the throne, isn’t it a great day for the whole world to celebrate? I think I will choose an auspicious day in the near future to set the date, Don't let my mother and sister worry about it anymore, huh?"
Sister Aran's tone of voice has been the same for many years, without any change at all.Wei Tingxu knew that if she opened her mouth to refute at this moment, her sister would have a hundred sentences waiting behind her, so she simply smiled and turned to the elder Sun Wu, whose face was uglier than hers, and said:
"Let Zhanying decide this matter."
In one night, the elder Sun Wu, who had been pitted twice in a row, was stuffed in his heart with thousands of words, so he could only smile wryly.
Zhen Wenjun, who had been concentrating on eating meat and fruits, obediently throughout the whole process without interrupting or losing his temper, just kept looking at Wei Tingxu, his watery eyes were full of grievances, and she didn't say anything about her grievances.
"Excuse me." Wei Tingxu stood up and walked in front of Zhen Wenjun, "Wenjun, come with me to get some wandering wine. I picked the petals of wandering flowers to make wine when you were on the expedition. I think I should be able to drink it." .So many friends are here today, so it’s time to share with everyone. Let’s go Wenjun, help me move out.”
"Huh? It's..." Zhen Wenjun was a little confused at first, why didn't she know when Wei Tingxu had a drink?It's been a long time since I came back and I haven't heard her mention it.After thinking about it for a moment, Wei Tingxu should be looking for an excuse to leave, so he immediately stood up and followed behind Wei Tingxu.
A Ran's elder sister called "Zi Zhuo", Wei Tingxu didn't look back, when A Ran was about to follow, Sun Wu held her back, and asked in a soft and eccentric voice: "Oh, I suddenly thought of something. Something. Doesn’t Sister Aran have a marriage contract? I don’t know when they will get married?”
Ah Ran has a headache when she thinks about her terrible marriage. The other party is a general who has his own general's mansion, but she dislikes him as a warrior. She must be sweating all day long. She still likes elegant Confucian scholars, so she has been procrastinating.Now when asked, he prevaricates: "I'm not in a hurry."
"How can you not be in a hurry? Sister Aran should get married as soon as possible and give birth to a fat baby as soon as possible. Besides, sister is not in a hurry, I am in a hurry." The elder Sun Wu seemed quite sincere, "Sister is not married, how can Zi Zhuo grab it in the first place?" Get married first? There is no such rule in the ancestors."
"I……"
"Let's not talk about it, Zhanying understands that my sister is shy, and my daughter's family will not take the initiative. So, tomorrow I will go to the general's mansion and beat that stupid fool hard, so that he can come to propose marriage soon!"
"you……"
"Ok, deal!"
Aran: "..."
Wei Tingxu and Zhen Wenjun walked out of the bamboo garden together, and actually went to the wine cellar.
"Huh? Sister really made wine?" Zhen Wenjun didn't expect it.
"Why should I lie."
When walking down the steps, Zhen Wenjun called her to stop her, went to carry the gauze lantern and walked ahead, holding Wei Tingxu's hand with one hand lantern and the other, feeling the coldness of the wine cellar while walking, so he stopped in his tracks.
Wei Tingxu asked her why she stopped, and Zhen Wenjun handed her the lamp: "Sister, please hold it for me for a while."
Wei Tingxu took the lamp, and Zhen Wenjun took off his coat and put it on her:
"The weather is getting colder, and it's even worse in the wine cellar. Sister, don't catch the cold."
Seeing that she was gentle and considerate, Wei Tingxu pulled her skirt and took her down.Zhen Wenjun lowered his neck, matching Wei Tingxu's height, and pressed his lips against hers.
"I've already said it before, what do you call me?" There were only the two of them in the wine cellar, Wei Tingxu's voice was very thin and low, but it was amplified by the empty wine cellar, rippling in Zhen Wenjun's heart.
"Tingxu..." Zhen Wenjun's voice became hoarse.
The light of the gauze lamp flickered across Wei Tingxu's face, and Zhen Wenjun's heart was beating thumpingly.
She thought of Wei Tingxu who was under her that night, hugging her and moaning suppressedly, and her throat became dry unconsciously.
"What are you thinking?" Wei Tingxu put his arms around her neck, just like when she held Wei Tingxu before, Wei Tingxu stabilized his balance.
"I was wondering why you are so pretty."
"No." Wei Tingxu exposed her, "You are thinking about other things."
"Oh? Then what am I thinking?" Zhen Wenjun protects her waist, she likes being alone like this, if possible, she wants to stay with Wei Tingxu in an empty wine cellar until the end of time, no one will disturb them.She guessed that Wei Tingxu might also think so, and they might have to stand here for a while, fearing that her waist would be uncomfortable, so they supported her to relieve the pressure.
Wei Tingxu took advantage of her unpreparedness and kissed her.
The feeling of entering Wei Tingxu's body last night flashed through Zhen Wenjun's mind.Fiery and fragile, she explored this damp wilderness cautiously at first, and then Wei Tingxu's voice and tears almost made her lose control.
The two fought until midnight, Zhen Wenjun was overwhelmed with excitement, but Wei Tingxu couldn't take it anymore, so she had to give up, and the two embraced and fell asleep.
Wei Tingxu may not be the most perfect, but she must be the one who fascinates Zhen Wenjun the most.
Once he has tasted the forbidden fruit, he will never forget it. At this time, Wei Tingxu offered a kiss and immediately aroused Zhen Wenjun's impulse.Lips and tongues intersected fiercely, and Zhen Wenjun heard Wei Tingxu's breathless breath being kissed by her, which made her even more excited, and he hugged Wei Tingxu and sat on the big wine tank, so that she could have a fulcrum Don't have to stand too tiring.
……
The two went to get the wine and took more than half an hour before they came out.
Xiaohua has been standing at the door of the wine cellar, knowing that she shouldn't go in, and afraid that Zhen Wenjun will make the girl suffer because of her inappropriateness, so she stands here and waits.
Finally, Zhen Wenjun walked out with Wei Tingxu in his arms, with a jug of wine hanging on his waist. This was the first jug of wine that Wei Tingxu tried to make under Xiao Hua's instruction.
"Hey? Why are you here?" Zhen Wenjun's lips were a little red and swollen, but his hair was combed and neat.Her complexion hadn't completely faded yet, and she smiled forcedly when she saw Xiao Hua.Zhen Wenjun felt that he was a sinner who broke a certain balance and subverted certain relationships, so he didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Hua.
At this time, Wei Tingxu let her hold her in his arms without strength, glanced at Xiao Hua, and did not speak.
Xiaohua noticed that Wei Tingxu's lips were also a little swollen, and there was a red spot of blood on his neck.
"What happened to the girl's neck? But was she injured?" Xiao Hua didn't blame Zhen Wenjun, she knew that she had no position to blame, but was genuinely worried about Wei Tingxu.
It's just that her worry made Zhen Wenjun very embarrassed, and Wei Tingxu was speechless, so he could only say weakly:
"I'm not hurt. Xiao Hua, go down, there is Mr. Wen here."
Xiao Hua accompanied Wei Tingxu since she was a child and took care of her daily life. She has no experience in that field at all, so it's no wonder she can't understand the key points.Xiaohua could only say "yes", and went back to Wei Tingxu's room to help her lay out the quilt. After thinking about it, she changed to a wider quilt that was big enough for two people to cover together, placed two pillows, and ordered Went to Wei Tingxu's favorite aromatherapy, and then left.
"I won't marry the grandson Wu."
Zhen Wenjun heard Wei Tingxu say this after taking two sips of wandering wine.
"It doesn't matter." Zhen Wenjun said, "I understand that the marriage of the children of your aristocratic family is an important means to strengthen the clan. I will not be ignorant of good and bad, besides you and the eldest grandson Wu..."
"In the past, it was an alliance of interests. It was because of fighting against the Xie family. My father was afraid that once he and the grandson uncle passed away, our generation would be divided. At that time, it was Xie Fuchen's wish. But now that Xie Fuchen is dead, we want to unite His interests have been transferred." Wei Tingxu said firmly, "I will not marry him."
Zhen Wenjun was very happy in his heart, and he still tried to be brave: "What are you telling me about this...I have already said it, I don't care."
"Really." Wei Tingxu nodded, "So you don't care. That's right. I was confused when I said what to do. What my sister reminded me is that I will think about it again. After all, Changsun Wu is also a rare good man. people."
Zhen Wenjun didn't expect her to turn her face when she said that she would turn her back, stood up and left, and immediately followed up to admit her mistake: "Why is she a younger sister again, isn't she called Wenjun? I made a mistake, good sister, don't be angry, or your ass will be beaten by you How about beating until you are happy? Sister! Tingxu! Sister Tingxu!"
