Tang riddles

On the third day of the first lunar month of the second year of Xiantian, Changlefang, the mansion of Princess Taiping of Zhenguo.

Just after the Chinese New Year, the whole Chang'an is still immersed in the joyous atmosphere, the pepper plate sings the flowers, the torches are lit in the red night, and the magnificent Taiping Princess Mansion is also a peaceful and wonderful atmosphere.

This time, Taiping became interested. At the end of last year, many people from Wu's hometown were invited to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year.In order to receive these relatives and friends of the Wu family, Taiping has been busy since before the New Year's Eve. The Princess Mansion was full of excitement, and I don't know how many guests came one after another.Taiping even asked his son-in-law Yin Yu to bring relatives from her hometown to Chang'an to watch the new year and have fun together. They stayed in Chang'an for a while to relieve the pain of lovesickness.In the past, Yin Yu rarely mentioned his family to Taiping. Originally, Taiping thought she would not agree, but unexpectedly, she really brought all the family members here.She has two cousins, Erlang Yinbi has a son Yin Zidong, Sanlang Yinfang has two sons——Yin Zijiang and Yin Zihe, and she also has a fourth cousin who brought her husband and a pair of children who are about to grow up. up.

Recently, Taiping felt that Yin Yu was in a good mood, and the smile on his face became more real, so she couldn't help feeling relieved.This person, after all these years, can finally stop looking back on the past.In the beginning, she didn't even want to see her, she hid far away, as long as there was an external task, she would definitely fight for it, if Taiping didn't block it for her, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to see her for a year one side.Later, she was finally willing to stay in Chang'an honestly, but even though she always faced him with a smile on her face, Taiping could always see the indelible sadness in her eyes.She can't understand how much she loves her, and she can't believe it.Taiping only wants her to be happy and carefree, so she does her best and spares no effort to please her.

"Yu Lang, wait for me." In the evening of this day, after having dinner with relatives and friends, Yin Yu accompanied Taiping back to the bedroom to change, and was going to go to the Qihuang Pool to listen to music together.Recently, Taiping invited Dong Tinglan, a great violinist who is famous in the Tang Dynasty, to come to Fuzhong to play music, and by the way, he wanted him to guide the piano slaves' piano skills.It's a pity that Mr. Dong didn't have the will to accept disciples, and Taiping didn't force it either.

Yin Yu changed clothes quickly, and went to the outside room after changing, Taiping thought she left him and left first, so he hurriedly shouted, came out from behind in a hurry, the belt around his waist was not fastened, and the maid who was serving her beside him They seemed to be in a hurry, and ran out after her.Yin Yu was helpless, turned around and said:

"I didn't leave, don't worry."

Taiping smiled and stared intently at Yin Yu's side face. She didn't move, and the maids finally had time to tie her belt.

After changing her clothes, Taiping couldn't wait to step forward and hold her arm.Yin Yu sighed in his heart, a woman in her 40s still behaved like a girl, and she was well maintained, she looked no different from her [-]-year-old counterpart.Especially after the birth of Qin Nu, she seemed to be rejuvenated, getting younger and younger.Yin Yu knew that this was the effect of Luanhuang's blood, if this woman hadn't drugged him, he would never have done such a thing.It's just that now, she doesn't want to regret it. Since Qin Nu was born, it is her child, and she loves this child from the bottom of her heart.

Taiping walked out of the hall with Yin Yu on his arm, and said with a smile as he walked:

"Recently, there will be a batch of gifts arriving at the mansion one after another. They are gifts from relatives and friends from all over the world who can't come in person. The Shangyuan Festival is coming soon, and my birthday is coming soon. It's really double happiness."

There was a smile on Yin Yu's lips, but his eyes were cold, and he said softly: "They have bothered, but you don't need anything, so I'm curious what they will give you."

Taiping sneered and said, "It's just some curios and jewels, nothing new."

"Really? How about we make a bet? I guess someone will give you something very special, not among the rare treasures." Yin Yu said.

Taiping looked at her suspiciously, thinking that this person must know something.But it is rare that she is willing to bet with herself, how can such a good opportunity be missed, so Taiping smiled and said:

"Okay, what do you want to bet?"

"If I win, give me some time on the night of Shangyuan Festival. I want to meet a friend." Yin Yu said.

Taiping's heart sank, he paused, and said, "Who are you going to see? Is it... Qin Zhen?"

Yin Yu turned to look at her, with a flat expression on his face: "Qin Zhen and I broke up long ago, how could I go to see him. Don't worry, he is a friend I met when I was in Huzhou. He came to Chang'an to seek an official recently. I think Get together with him. There happened to be a poetry meeting that night in Shangyuan, so I'll take him there to entertain and meet some Hanlin scholars, which should be able to help him."

Taiping pursed his lips, and suddenly remembered a brown-haired and green-eyed woman from the Western Regions who often appeared beside Yin Yu, and couldn't help saying:

"You don't want to see that Annayi, do you?"

Yin Yu smiled and just shook his head.

Taiping bit his lips angrily, stopped her in front of her, held her cheeks together and said:

"Okay, I bet you that if I win, you are not allowed to go out on the night of Shangyuan Festival, you have to accompany me. We haven't seen each other for many years, and I want you."

Yin Yu suppressed the discomfort in his heart, gently pulled down her hand, held it in his palm and said:

"it is good."

Taiping was pleasantly surprised, unexpectedly Yin Yu agreed to her angry words.If...if Yin Yu was in a better mood that night, would it be...they could have another child... Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel hot, thinking of Yin Yu's incomparable beauty in the bed, she still remembers it abnormally clear.Her heart fluttered, her lower abdomen tightened for a moment, she couldn't help but stepped forward to hug Yin Yu and asked her for a kiss.

Yin Yu clenched his teeth, hooked his arms around her waist, and accepted her kiss.The desire for peace was aroused, and he wanted to ask for more. Thanks to this time, the savior came. Lu Yifeng came from the other end of the corridor with a knife. Seeing this situation, he immediately said:

"Princess, son-in-law, the guests are rushing."

Yin Yu pushed Taiping away and glanced at Lu Yifeng gratefully, but Taiping glared at him angrily.That night, Yin Yu went to find his daughter on the pretext that he hadn't checked Chishi's homework recently, but he didn't come back all night, leaving Taiping to sleep alone.Taiping did not force her, after getting along with Yin Yu for many years, Taiping knew that she could not be forced, otherwise their relationship would become more and more rigid.Back then, Yin Yu was still unwilling to give her a child, so he pushed Taiping into a hurry and resorted to extraordinary measures.Afterwards, Yin Yu had a cold war with her for more than half a year, and their relationship did not ease until Qin Nu was born.During that time, she was pregnant with Qin Nu, and it was extremely difficult, but she didn't want to suffer like this again.

……

The next day, Yin Yu took Lu Yifeng to work in the Secretary's Province.She is Secretary Lang, and her job is to manage the royal collection of books, collect precious ancient books and volumes from all over the world, and correct errata.At the same time, she sometimes needs to draft some great imperial edicts for the royal family, offering sacrifices to the heaven and the earth and to the common people.When Emperor Wu was alive, the Secretary Province was still called "Lintai". Six years after it was changed back to the Secretary Province, some people still habitually call Yin Yu Lintai Lang.This position is usually the springboard position for the new champion. It is extremely noble, and after a few years, it will usually be promoted.However, because Yin Yu is Princess Taiping's son-in-law, her promotion has been restricted. For many years, she has only been a secretary.Zhang Jiuling, Qin Zhen and others who were at the same time as her had already been officials in other places for many years and accumulated rich political achievements.

Yin Yu doesn't care about her own promotion. If it was ten years ago, she might still care about it. However, after experiencing all the hardships, she is completely disappointed in this court. Her only hope now is to find Qin Qin as soon as possible. Lian, and then completed the last step of her revenge plan, and retired to the world together with Qin Lian and the children.Recently, because all Qianyu Sects have been mobilized to look for Qin Lian, many people from the Chang'an headquarters have also been transferred out, and there is a serious shortage of manpower.Yin Yu specially brought his second brother, third brother and fourth sister from his hometown to take over the affairs of Qianyumen's Chang'an headquarters.In addition, reporting on Taiping may inevitably cause some troubles. When the time comes, she will leave with her two daughters in feigned death, and she will need the help of her family.Yin Yu planned not to return to Jinling after the event was completed, but to live in seclusion in Shu with his family.

She wants revenge, for which she has been preparing for ten years.After overthrowing Emperor Wu, Zhongzong and Ruizong, it's time to deal with the final opponent - Princess Taiping Li Lingyue who has bound her for ten years.At this point, she began to hesitate, whether she should really be cruel.She really hated Taiping, and she really wanted to kill her, but because of the existence of Qin Nu, it became the reason why she was unable to advance her revenge plan.She hesitated for a long time, and finally decided not to do it herself. She had already contacted the current saint and was about to hand over the evidence of bringing down Taiping. When she entered the court today, she would secretly accept the summon of the saint.Letting Taiping die alone is her last revenge.

Suddenly remembering the bet between herself and Taiping, she smiled. This time Taiping's birthday, the most special gift she gave her was probably her own denunciation.The sage should be in trouble in the next few days. At that time, Taiping probably won't have the leisure to take care of this gamble with him.And her so-called "meeting a friend" was naturally going to see Qin Lian, and made a complete break with all this from then on.

The meeting went well, and the location was in Hanxiang Hall.Yin Yu handed over all the criminal evidence without reservation. She never doubted Li Longji's determination to bring down his aunt. The two had been fighting for a long time, and it was time to end it.With Taiping's character and ability, if she really controls the government, it won't bring good things.In this respect, Li Longji is better than his aunt.It has been a few years since the heroine of the Tang Dynasty ruled, and Yin Yu has never really seen the appearance of a Mingjun in these noble women.There may be only one Wu Zetian in this world. There is no one before or after. When Emperor Wu was in power more than ten years ago, she took part in the scientific examination with the naive idea that "it is the empress who is in power and the best opportunity for our generation to display their ambitions". It caused her lifelong remorse and endless pain for the rest of her life.She no longer wants anyone to repeat the same mistakes as her, because she has fully realized that no matter who is in power, whether it is a man or a woman, if this person does not have the virtue of a wise king, it will be a disaster for the subjects below.Emperor Wu may be a good emperor, with skills and strategies, but she is not good enough. There has never been a saint in this world, never.And Taiping is far worse than his mother.

Yin Yu secretly entered the court to be summoned by the emperor, and Lu Yifeng was her personal bodyguard. He had no official position and was not allowed to enter.Yin Yu didn't want him to wait outside, so he asked him to stay in the secretary's province to rest.But when Yin Yu returned to Secretary Province, he did not see Lu Yifeng.She asked her colleagues in the secretary's province, and a small official told her that he had seen Lu Yifeng go out from the side door of the secretary's province earlier, and he didn't know where he went.

Yin Yu was a little puzzled, but he didn't care too much. Lu Yifeng also had his own social circle in Chang'an, and Yin Yu rarely cared about it.Maybe he was out to meet friends.

But in the afternoon, when she was sorting out the library, she ran into another colleague from the secretary department.This colleague has been in the palace all morning and is responsible for counting the borrowed books in each palace.When I came back to report to the warehouse in the afternoon, I happened to meet Yin Yu.When he saw Yin Yu's first sentence, he smiled and said:

"Brother Changheng, did you go to see His Majesty in Xuanwei Palace this morning?"

"What?" Yin Yu was a little puzzled, she hadn't been to Xuanwei Hall all day today.

Seeing Yin Yu's reaction, the colleague couldn't help being surprised and said:

"Didn't you go to Xuanwei Hall? But I saw your bodyguard Lu Yifeng in the porch of Xuanwei Hall. I thought you went to Xuanwei Hall."

"Oh... well, I did go there once." Yin Yu blinked and said.

"Hey, the sage has just ascended the throne, and there are many political affairs. He actually spent an afternoon in the Xuanwei Hall to deal with politics. I didn't dare to go to the Xuanwei Hall to check the bibliography. I have to go there tomorrow..." the colleague said in a rambling manner.

There seemed to be an icy chill spreading in Yin Yu's chest, the hairs on her body stood on end, she froze in place for a long while without recovering.

At night, outside Princess Taiping's mansion, Lu Yifeng was cleaning in his room and getting ready to rest.Suddenly, his ears moved, and he hurriedly took out his hands soaked in the copper basin, grabbed the dry towel on the shelf, pretended to be wiping his hands, and wrapped his left hand.

Immediately, Yin Yu pushed the door open and entered.

"Yifeng, are you still asleep?"

"Darang didn't sleep either, what's the matter?"

"I forgot to tell you. I'm afraid I won't have time to go to the headquarters tomorrow. You don't have to go to court with me. Go to the headquarters for me to check the latest information about Lian Er and Zhi Qin Weng."

"Okay, I understand." Lu Yifeng nodded.

Yin Yu glanced nonchalantly at the copper basin that Lu Yifeng used to soak his hands just now, and vaguely saw some kind of skin-like debris floating in the water.Without showing any flaws on her face, she smiled at Lu Yifeng, said "rest early", then turned and left Lu Yifeng's room.

The author has something to say: The chapter on Huang Yun is not long, and it will end in about three or four chapters.
