Gu Qingci

Yang Ling held a piece of red-headed rope in her hand and was in a daze.

This red-headed rope was brought by Sha Yu for a long time, and was finally stored in a box and given to her.

"Return it to its original owner..." Yang Li twisted the rope up and down in his hands, but still couldn't remember anything, so he put it back into the box again.There is also a phoenix-shaped jade pendant with red spots in the box. The red is so bright that it looks like blood at first glance.

After closing the lid, Yang Ling got up and walked out, preparing to go to the main house in the center of the water tower.I just got off people to report, and Mrs. Xu came again today.

Mrs. Xu, Emperor Lingxu Liu Yuehua.This woman is really good, she gave herself such a blatant title, she almost said that she wanted to "continue to fly in the sky".

Yang Hui felt amused, because Liu Yuehua ran here twice in three days, and couldn't be stopped. Originally, the servants called Liu Yueying "Mrs. Liu", but they had to change it to "Mrs. Ying" to distinguish them.As for why it wasn't Mrs. Kong... because what Liu Yueying said was too harsh.

The main house of the water tower looks square and square, and it is stable. Usually, if there are any important events, the people who welcome people and guests are here.

Because the renovation of the main house is too formal, Yang Li doesn't like to run here.But Mrs. Xu seemed to be here for too long today, and Liu Yueying did not come out after waiting for a long time.

As soon as the front foot stepped over the threshold, a slight cough was heard.

"Sister, are you still in good health? These medical officers are really useless. I will dismiss them as soon as I go back."

"It's an old problem, how can it get better so quickly. You are too hasty." Liu Yueying took a sip of tea, put the teacup back on the table.

"Hey, Yangli, you came just in time." Liu Yuehua saw Yangli walking in wearing a lavender curvy dress, and her long hair that was always fixed on the top of her head fell down behind her back, and she couldn't help sighing: "You look so good with this outfit. The clothes you used to be an official in the palace ruined your appearance."

Yang Li smiled indifferently, walked up to Liu Yueying and sat down, and then said, "Madam Xu, please eat less salty radish."

How could Liu Yuehua not understand the words of salty eating radish and light worrying, and said with a smile: "Your mouth hasn't changed for so many years. I don't want to be foolish with you. I have business to do today. I discussed it with my sister just now and couldn't make a decision." Sure, you just happened to be here, I would like to ask you, the former prime minister, your opinion."

Yang Li turned to look at Liu Yueying, saw her nodding her head, so she nodded and said, "All ears."

"More than a year ago, didn't sister set up the Outer Gate Martial Guard Guard House in order to restrain the two generals Nan Gong and Xiao Chu?" Liu Yuehua raised her head, Yang Li was listening, and her eyes were wandering in the main room.

"Who is standing under the porch? Don't you need to avoid it?" She suddenly saw two shadows under the veil on the porch on the left side of the main house. One seemed to be a young woman, and the other was a ten-year-old boy.

"No, she is the niece of the wife of the minister of rites. She is quick and dexterous, and her mouth is tight. I will choose her as the new female officer and follow me. The one next to her is her son."

"So that's the case." Yang Li was relieved, waiting for Liu Yuehua to continue.

"The original intention of the establishment of the Martial Guards of the Outer Gate was to use martial arts forces to maintain local law and order and transfer troops to the capital. The power of the Outer Guards was firmly controlled by my elder sister from the beginning of its establishment, and no one else could do it at all. Intervening. Therefore, this general has lost his military power and is restrained by the Outer Guard House, so it is no longer worrying. What I am worried about now is the civil servants."

"Civil officials are just forming cliques for personal gain, so they can't cause too much trouble. Why do you worry Mrs. Xu?" Yang Li propped his head up, waiting for the next sentence.

Liu Yuehua's throat moved, but she didn't speak; Liu Yueying, who had been listening silently, took up the conversation and said: "There was one emperor and one courtier, and now the court officials haven't been cleaned up, and the confidants trained by Yuehua can't replace them, so some old officials fight It is the memorial of the local government who refuses to accept the discipline and conceals the seniority. What I mean is that the Shengqing building that controls you has been incorporated by the cabinet, so it is better to directly change it into an outer sect. , is to absorb the power of the people to contain the officials of the court. If such a non-governmental organization can be established, and the power will be directly handed over to Yuehua, those civil officials will not be able to conceal the local memorials."

"Hmm..." Yang Li lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "I don't have any objections to being so thoughtful, what is Mrs. Xu worrying about?"

Liu Yueying sneered: "Yuehua has no face, you built Shengqing Building by yourself, and now she wants to make it into a separate organization. She is ashamed to discuss it with you, so she hesitated for a long time."

Yang Li unconsciously touched the jade pendant on her waist, and smiled: "Mrs. Xu is now the Ninth Five-Year Master, so you can just announce what you want, and talk about it."

"If it wasn't because you are sister's wife, who would care about you?" Liu Yuehua was not angry at all, and laughed it off.

There were few things to do in the palace today, Liu Yuehua wanted to avoid laziness, so she stayed in the water tower for an afternoon, and Pian Qiu came in to refill her tea cups several times.After Liu Yueying abdicated, she only brought Pianqiu and Wuxia with her, and because of Pianqiu, Chang Shi also came to be a housekeeper.The rest of the servants in the water tower are new recruits, and no one knows the identity of Mrs. Ying.

Pianqiu drained the scalding boiling water several times, and the temperature was just enough to drink.The water poured into the cup along the small mouth of the purple sand pot, Liu Yuehua seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Sister, why did you let those old people keep silent about the Guangkai harem?"

Liu Yueying was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Why, they started forcing you to draft Nafu again?"

"That's right, every day there is an excerpt, it's like a reminder."

"Hurry up and straighten Feng San, and you will be able to shut their mouths in a short while." Liu Yueying glanced at Yang Li, and said, "But it is impossible to completely shut them up, and they will start arguing again every few months. If you can bear the mess in the harem, you might as well agree to their opinions, otherwise those ministers will be troubled."

"But sister, didn't you just not have a harem?"

"I didn't open it, and my father didn't open it. If you don't open it, I'm afraid that group of ministers will fall into chaos. The successor is the top priority for the country's fortune. The father only has two children, you and me, so I'm counting on you, you Can you just count on Wen Jiu? Or, you have a deep-rooted love for Feng San, so you have to rely on him?"

"It's not like that, you and father are both seeds of love, I'm not." Liu Yuehua pouted, "If you think about it this way, being too single-minded might not be a bad thing."

Yang Li rested her chin on her chin and listened to their sisters chatting with each other, when she suddenly heard Liu Yueying say that, the smile on her face couldn't be stopped, she couldn't help but asked deliberately: "Yueying, who do you love?" Deep roots?"

Liu Yueying turned her head and pretended not to hear, reached out for a cup of tea and took a sip to moisten her throat. When she looked up, she saw Liu Yuehua's eyes narrowed into foxes, waiting to watch the play.

Yang Li didn't wait for a response, and was reluctant: "Yueying, why is this other courtyard called 'Shuiloutai'? Mrs. Xu said that you came up with this name yourself."

Liu Yuehua covered her mouth and snickered, Liu Yueying's complexion was crimson, and she whispered angrily at Yang Li: "You bastard, don't say this in front of Yuehua."

Yang Li looked at Liu Yueying's burning face, and said contentedly, "Okay, okay, can't I stop asking?"

My wife is too showy, some things can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

==

It was sunset, Liu Yuehua reluctantly rushed back to the palace, and the female official who came with her also left.Yang Li stood up and stretched a lot, and stepped over the threshold to go to the right ear room for dinner.

"I won't go there for dinner today." Liu Yueying stopped her, turned around and walked towards the back garden.

The back garden is lush and lush, and the warm wind makes many wild flowers bloom.A temporary curtain had been set up near the pond long ago, covering it in the dense grass.

"Such a big table of dishes?" Yang Li looked at the table full of delicacies, and turned around to ask Liu Yueying in surprise, "What day is it today?"

"You've been busy all day, haven't you forgotten Tonight and Hexi?" Liu Yueying looked at the man's sluggish expression, pulled out the chair and sat down.She took a large wine jar on the table and opened the top with a "bang".

The rich aroma lingers on the tip of the nose, with a hint of peach blossom.

"Haven't you had a drink for a long time? Gu Yu today, this is the peach blossom wine that I specially ordered someone to find. I allow you to drink a few more glasses."

Yang Hui's eyes stared a little: "It's Gu Yu again? I really don't remember." She poured out a full glass of wine as she spoke, and couldn't wait to take a sip.

"What do you drink so fast, and no one will snatch it from you."

"I am, I am happy!" She smelled the aroma of the wine again, and grinned silly, no different from the idiot who entered the palace face saint back then.

"I don't want to eat something to pad my stomach, but I'm afraid I'll get drunk quickly." Liu Yueying put a piece of beef in sauce into the sun thread bowl, her white wrist was exposed from the cuff, and she was wearing a very ordinary, very dull bracelet.

Yang Li recognized this bracelet.

"Yueying, have a few drinks with me." Her heart was sour, and then sweetness leaked out.

"Hmm." The wine glasses collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

After drinking for three rounds, the sun was getting lower and lower, and a few butterflies appeared at some point, fluttering and fluttering in the grass, covered with a layer of gold by the sunset.

Suddenly there was music in the distance, it was Dong Xiao.

"I almost forgot how to play the hole flute, haha."

"I can't find a better skill than you. This person is the chief of the martial arts music workshop. You can just make do with it."

"It sounds good, you can play it better than me!"

Yang Li took another sip of the peach blossom wine, turned her head to look at the golden sunset in front of her, countless sunsets flashed in her mind, none of them could compare to today's evening.

With a bit of drunkenness, she said affectionately to the people beside her: "Yueying, when you recover, we will go and visit every inch of Daxing."

The eyes of the woman beside her included the sunset in the sky and the people in front of her. She nodded and replied seriously: "Okay."
