[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Xing Xiuyan felt that sometimes husbands and wives can't hold each other, she didn't understand it before.But thanks to facing a person with such a special status as Tu Yuanyi, in order to live a better life for herself, she had to let go of her indifferent and cold temper, and then gained a lot.From then on, her proud soul became a little more cute like a little woman.

She has learned how to be a woman, but she has never been hypocritical, she still has her own characteristics, sometimes gentle, sometimes domineering, Tu Yuanyi also feels strange, in short, she is different from others.

At this moment, she leaned on him to absorb his warmth, touched his neck with the tip of her nose, and said, "Say it to me again."

Tu Yuanyi rolled his eyes: "What?"

"What did you say?" Xing Xiuyan was dissatisfied and annoyed.

Tu Yuanyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but that kind of words were harder to say than the heart-to-heart words when he was happy and romantic.

Tu Yuanyi said: "I've already said it, it's good that you know."

"no!"

She pinched his waist again, it was so cruel, Tu Yuanyi let out a groan of pain, and Fu Gang evaporated, not daring to resist and pinch him back.

Tu Yuanyi had no choice but to surrender: "I... I love you."

Xing Xiuyan leaned on his shoulder, smiled slightly, but touched his chest with her hand, the man's chest muscles are really good.

"Tell me, is Princess Pearl the most beautiful, or me?"

Tu Yuanyi is clever: "Nature is beautiful."

Xing Xiuyan asked again: "Is it the empress who was beautiful when she was young, or me?"

Tu Yuanyi smiled: "Of course it's beautiful."

Xing Xiuyan asked again: "Is it your beauties in the harem, or me?"

Tu Yuanyi said: "Xiuxiu is the most beautiful, the most beautiful in the harem."

Xing Xiuyan sighed: "Look at you, how lustful you are, you have already said that you can't judge people by their appearance..."

Tu Yuanyi hurriedly added: "Xiuxiu is inner beauty."

Xing Xiu was annoyed, and Nanny Rong possessed her body, pinching her again: "So you lied to me by saying that I am the most beautiful? You said, why am I not beautiful? How can I not compare to them?!"

Tu Yuanyi was surrounded by circles, and her majestic Danfeng eyes were so cute that she was really an unreasonable woman who the emperor had never seen in modern times.

Tu Yuanyi asked: "Xiuxiu, are we beautiful... or not? How should I say that Xiuxiu is satisfied?"

Xing Xiuyan sat upright, looked into his eyes seriously, and said, "It should be said, 'My Xiuxiu is the most beautiful, but it's not just beautiful!'."

Tu Yuanyi smiled, stretched out his hand to hold her cheek, and said, "My lady is more than beautiful!"

Only then did Xing Xiuyan feel somewhat satisfied, and thought to himself: He must have some spirituality, let her become a queen as soon as possible, and then allow her to do a career.After Beishou's trip, he was used to letting her relax on the rules. Even boiling the frogs in warm water would make some progress.

Suddenly her stomach growled, and Tu Yuanyi couldn't help laughing: "Can I pass on the food?"

Li Dequan directed the little eunuch to set the meal, Qingxuan and Lan Jiu's personal maids on duty also came in to serve, but they saw that the emperor and the imperial concubine were very close to each other when eating.The imperial concubine lost her temper, and the emperor was not angry at all to convict her, which is also a miracle.

(Tu Yuanyi: How dare I get angry and convict me, I just ask Nanny Xing to pinch her lightly.)

In the afternoon, he took her out of the golden tent to hunt on horseback, escorted by Jin Yiwei, and accompanied by Xiao Jingyun, Tan Qian, Prince Ying, and Jin Haochang's son.They are all young people or relatives, not old ministers, they are just for fun.

The emperor doesn't feel that he is abusing a dog at all, he is extremely willful.Although Xing Xiuyan also had his own gentle mare, the emperor often took her with him to gallop.

Although Xing Xiuyan doesn't know how to draw a bow, she has also practiced flying knives for a while, and her spiritual power is much better than that of a circus troupe.

At this time, Tu Yuanyi and the others had gained something, she strongly demanded that they couldn't take the next prey, and let her come.

She was dressed in a red Hufu riding outfit, with a row of specially made exquisite flying knives hanging on the leather belt around her waist, she was quite heroic.

It is said that women are kind-hearted and gentle towards small animals, but Xin Xiuyan is really a strange thing.

But she said that Xin Xiuyan was only in the third year of junior high school and went to her grandmother's house in the countryside to celebrate the New Year.Twelfth lunar month 28 is very busy, but my uncle went to play mahjong. At that time, he was going to kill chickens. Uncle couldn't leave the gambling table for a while, and grandma urged him again. My aunt and cousin didn't dare to do it.

Xin Xiuyan, who has always been so strong, thinks that she can do what a man can do, so she naively took it up.But when she grabbed the first chicken and held the knife, she was soft-handed, but at that time, her aunt, cousin and neighbors were all in the yard, laughing and saying that she was too brave to ride a tiger, so she had to grit her teeth and go down with a knife. Chicken blood on the spot.At that time, her heart was shaken, her mind was blank and dizzy, and her back felt cold for 5 minutes. Then she cut the necks of the other two chickens and two ducks, which left her aunt, cousin, and neighbors stunned.

In fact, Xin Xiuyan's talent back then was only above average, and she was not a natural academic master with an unforgettable memory like Daiyu.At that time, her family's conditions were not good, and she didn't meet any famous teachers, but with a personality of "can't lose to myself", she performed very well in the college entrance examination.But because of her hobbies and hearing that art graduates make a lot of money, she went to study art with high cultural points.

It's not without reason that Zhao Jiahuan felt that she was a tomboy wearing a soft girl's skin.Although she is kind-hearted and open-minded, she is too strong in spirit. In the professional field, even for him, she admires him, but she does not obey him. She acts very assertively, which will make men feel tired.But only those who are too different from her and have abilities in fields (spell cultivation) that she is unfamiliar with, such as Tu Yuanyi back then, can make her female.

In fact, some classmates and colleagues think that she should abuse scumbags and sluts, and she doesn't think like that except for the kindness and simplicity of Zhao's father and Zhao's mother.

She thought that defeating Hua Zhenzhu again in business would be enough to prove who is the dragon and who is the worm.I don't send out flowers when the flowers are in bloom, but if I send out flowers, I will be scared to death.

In terms of emotions, in her three wonderful views, there are only love or not, want or not, and being sorry is the second, even though she can't do betrayal herself.Emotions are also a war. In real life, she must not be the only one who is blamed. Existence is reasonable. When she encounters misfortune, it is a normal human thing. If she can't bear it, she is too fragile, and she wants to cry Carry it over.

Even if it is inevitable that there are mortal emotions and sadness, she insists in her bones that "winning is beautiful, and losing is frank."——she believes that if there is no property that is invaded by shameless people's conspiracy and ambition, or people's health or life is harmed For this kind of dramatic injustice, she didn't seem heroic enough in that play.

A hero should be able to afford it and let it go. Others laugh at her for being too cowardly, and she laughs at others not being able to see through.

She was chasing a roe on horseback, Tu Yuanyi put his bow and held the rein, looking at her he couldn't help shaking his head secretly.His woman is getting wilder and wilder. Fortunately, she is lazy and only practiced flying knives. Otherwise, if she can practice martial arts like Mrs. Xiao Hou, wouldn't he be a laughing stock like Xiao Hou?

Xing Xiuyan held the rein in one hand, and touched the flying knife at his waist with the other. When he was within [-] steps of chasing him, he swung the knife out luckily, but saw that the knife had pierced the deer's thigh.

She tightened the rein, and the horse beneath her grunted twice and stopped.

Tu Yuanyi also drove his horse over to have a look, and Xing Xiuyan said proudly, "I told you that your arrow skills are no worse than yours. Tell me, if we were born in Orion's family, I would be able to cook, sew, and hunt by myself." , what use do I need a man for?"

Seeing that others were far away at this time, Tu Yuanyi teased and said, "You can't have children by yourself."

Xing Xiuyan's expression was slightly annoyed, and she glanced at him, Tu Yuanyi couldn't help but feel agitated, but she saw that she was very interested in driving a horse and ran up the open field.

With a thought in his mind, Tu Yuanyi rode his horse and chased after him. He was a steed, and his master was better than his apprentice in riding skills, so he soon caught up.

Xing Xiuyan ran side by side with him, very happy, she smiled and said: "When my 'Ajin' grows up, I will ride it, you will not be able to outrun me!"

Akin is the golden Arabian pony.

Tu Yuanyi smiled and said: "If I can't even run away from you, how can I rule the country?"

Xing Xiuyan laughed angrily: "What's the relationship between rivers and mountains and horse racing?"

Tu Yuanyi said: "Skills are needed to control horses and control mountains and rivers."

Xing Xiuyan smiled against the wind: "Then according to this theory, if I ride a horse well, it means I have skills. What kind of official do you make me?"

Tu Yuanyi couldn't help being startled, and smiled again: "Xiuxiu is really an official fan! What do you want if you are under one person and above ten thousand?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "After living for so many years, I feel more and more that I should not waste my time. It is hard for the emperor to be an outstanding person in the world. I must be worthy of you. A wife of an official official is naturally virtuous and virtuous, and it is enough to preside over the middle class. But it is not enough to stand by the emperor's side."

Tu Yuanyi listened to what she said, and saw her high-spirited appearance on the horse, and finally understood her intentions. He was not angry, but just had an indescribable feeling.He has been emperor in two lifetimes, although he has the power to fight, but no one can "stand" by his side.According to the etiquette, the empress can stand side by side with him, but his first wife and two empresses in the previous life did not know him very well. They were too defensive and the harem was complicated, making it difficult for them to synchronize their plans with him.

Tu Yuanyi's phoenix eyes flickered slightly, he took a step forward on the horse, reached out to grab her rein, and the two of them stopped their horses.

Her beautiful eyes flashed, and she said angrily: "I still want to run for a while, why are you stopping me?"

The imperial horse stomped its hooves on the spot and flicked its tail. Tu Yuanyi steered it steadily and got closer. He looked at her and smiled evilly.

He turned sideways, bent his head and kissed her lips, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help but her heart beat faster, his tongue outlined the shape of her lips, sucked for a while before letting go.

Her beautiful eyes are lingling, and the corners of her mouth are slightly raised.

"Kissing from this angle...is it difficult? Is your waist okay?"

Tu Yuanyi took her hand and said with a smile: "Is my waist good, my lady doesn't know?"

Xing Xiuyan's cheeks were finally dyed crimson, Tu Yuanyi laughed and hugged her vigorously to his horse, and ran towards the open field in autumn.The younger brothers, brother-in-laws, brother-in-laws, Jin Yiwei, and Xichang eunuchs who accompanied, protected or traveled with him only followed from a distance.

Xiao Jingyun felt that he wanted to be like his brother-in-law and learn to flirt with women, but Tan Qian felt that this could be done in broad daylight, if the ministers knew about it, there was no guarantee that he would not criticize the imperial concubine.Your majesty is a wise king, why don't you always pay attention to the majesty of the king, it's so good.

Tu Yuanyi hugged her, smiled, and lowered his head to bite her ear lightly: "Xiuxiu is a bitch, and I will let you. I am the emperor, how can I let people beat me for nothing, I have to let me know that I have been beaten." If there are benefits, I will be willing. Is this the reason?"

Xing Xiuyan said angrily: "You small belly, do you have the demeanor that a Mingjun should have?"

Tu Yuanyi said: "Which Mingjun has a mother tiger in his house?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty."

Tu Yuanyi smiled and said: "That's Empress Dugu." He was somewhat deliberate, implying that she is not an empress, and he wondered what would happen to her.

Xing Xiuyan did not jump, but sighed: "Empress Dugu is also very pitiful."

Yang Jian was afraid of guilt, but he also betrayed his previous oath. Not only did he secretly visit the court lady, but Queen Dugu succumbed afterwards.Allowing him to get close to other concubines, he finally died of depression.After the death of Queen Dugu, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty indulged in wine and sex in his later years, which was also a stain on the first emperor after Qin Shihuang.Lust is a man's nature, and it has nothing to do with a foolish king. Stealing food is almost a man's instinct, and there is no need to learn.It is very rare for Sui Wendi to be like this, but Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youtang always had only one empress, living like a folk couple, accompanying him day and night, and playing harmoniously.But it may also have something to do with his untimely death, which was only 36 years old when he died.

Tu Yuanyi said: "I am not Yang Jian, and Xiuxiu is not Dugu Jialuo."

Xing Xiuyan turned her head to look at him, he held her hand, and said suddenly: "But Xiuxiu always waits until I am satisfied."

"..."

The brother who was playing with him halfway, Li Dequan, the eunuch of Xichang, was really a roundworm in the emperor's stomach. When he saw the emperor stopped far away, he took the man off his horse and walked towards a grass that was as tall as a person, so he stopped him from following. .

Xing Xiuyan didn't want to do such a shameless thing, but he smiled evilly and said, "I'm at ease, so Xiuxiu can be at ease!"

Xing Xiuyan understands that: If you want to be a queen, you have to follow him, and you have to die if you die.

Overwhelmed by him on the grass, he passionately kissed her, and she responded to him.

The two were about to take off their clothes when she suddenly said, "Will there be snakes in the wilderness? I'm afraid of snakes."

Tu Yuanyi smiled and said: "If there is a snake, I would have found it long ago. Xiuxiu don't worry, it is important for us to have a son."

Xing Xiuyan frowned, and said, "What if I still can't get pregnant?"

Tu Yuanyi somewhat realized that it was difficult for him to conceive a woman because of his profound cultivation of kung fu, because intercourse at the time was an act of releasing essence, and the essence of cultivation kung fu was to preserve essence, but he would not give up.

"There is no couple who can't have children, only couples who don't work hard." Tu Yuanyi leaned over her.

Xing Xiuyan: ...

Under the golden sunlight, the undulating grasslands and the distant mountains and forests turned into a freehand sketch. The cool north wind in the afternoon blows the grassland reeds flying all over the sky, and a few light snowflakes touch her face.

Xing Xiuyan was lying on his cloak, only his hot body was still burning her.With snowy skin and fragrant sweat, and a graceful figure, a pair of pure and beautiful eyes stared at him, and he was already fascinated.

His muscles are big, and he gallops to control her. He has seen Qianfan's charm long before he met her, but he never has such a love that can't let go of everything, and has never experienced such a wonderful fit of indulgence and intensity on her body. The ultimate joy, the joy of peace of mind.

Just like a raging fire burning the wild grass on the golden autumn field, turning it into ashes, turning into dust and mud, the spring rains come and give everything a vitality.

The sun was slanting to the west, and the two embraced on the ground, she was pillowed on his left arm, and he was still gently stroking her body.

Tu Yuanyi murmured: "In that place before, why did Xiuxiu never consider me her husband? If I am old and Xiuxiu is still young, will Xiuxiu look at other young and handsome brothers?"

Xing Xiu let out a chuckle: "At that time, I was a lonely soul, how could I think in that direction?"

Tu Yuanyi sighed, "I treat you as my concubine."

Xing Xiuyan smiled lightly: "You are still like that and still have such extravagant thoughts?"

Tu Yuanyi said: "At that time, I thought, if the magic of space and time can't be successful, I will let you practice hard, and you can gather the aura of heaven and earth to transform your body. Then we can always be together, life is not too bad."

Xing Xiuyan said: "Fortunately, you succeeded."

Tu Yuanyi's voice was still characteristically lazy, and he said: "After I came back, I missed you more and more, but I felt strange to the concubines back then, and it bothered me when I saw them."

Xing Xiuyan thought to herself: Does this mean that he liked her earlier?

Tu Yuanyi was silent for a while and said: "Now I and Xiuxiu have formed a mandarin alliance, as evidenced by the heaven and the earth."

Xing Xiuyan said weakly, "You are not afraid of the eye of a needle."

Tu Yuanyi said with a smile: "Confucian scholars are always inseparable from the Four Books and Five Classics, but there are many such scenes in the "Book of Songs", even their Confucius sages are also from wild/combined."

Xing Xiuyan blushed: "Do you still expect me to give birth to someone like Confucius? My stomach may not be so competitive. Dragons have nine sons, each of which is different. My son is stuffed with sesame seeds, which is definitely better than others , I don’t have this kind of confidence. What should I do if I give birth to a big horse monkey?”

Tu Yuanyi put her left arm as a pillow, and his right arm rested on the back of his head with one hand. He laughed and said, "I am not afraid of the big horse monkey. I am afraid of my daughter, Mother Xiao. If you give birth to a big worm, that is really the emperor's daughter." Sad to marry."

Xing Xiuyan was angry and funny, and went to beat his chest.The two laughed and laughed for a while, and the sun was about to set, so they got up and put on their clothes.

Tu Yuanyi blew his whistle, and the royal horse grazing a hundred meters away came galloping.Tu Yuanyi helped her get on the horse, and rode with her himself. It turned out that her docile mare just came back with Shen Jun's royal horse.This divine steed's open imperial horse has seduced that docile mare.

Fortunately, the accompanying brothers brought by Tu Yuanyi went back first when the opportunity was wrong, leaving only some Xichang and Jinyiwei, and they dared not look around and talk nonsense.

……

Two days passed, but it was to clean up the dust for the Mongolian envoys, but Tu Yuanyi was different from modern people, and had no intention of keeping the envoys down to watch the military parade and exercises.

Soldiers are deceitful, so they can show that they can't, and use it to show that they don't need it.Tu Yuanyi comprehensively considered that most of the tribes at this time did not engage in major conflicts with Da Zhou when he was in power in the previous life, so there is no need to vent the truth.

The dust-cleaning banquet was held in a spacious golden tent, and the envoys of the various ministries lined up the seats according to the size of the tribe and the status of the envoys, and the civil servants and generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty also accompanied them.

Singing and dancing started, cups and cups staggered, and at the banquet, both the host and the guest took turns to sing praises. Sitting beside Tu Yuanyi, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help but blush when he heard it. It's hard for him to be very calm.

Princess Mingzhu has learned that the "matchmaker" Prince Xining has politely refused the marriage on behalf of the emperor, and she is feeling distressed.After leaving tomorrow, it will be difficult for her to see her sweetheart again in this life.

Although Princess Mingzhu is a bit savage, but she is a Mongolian woman, she dares to love and hate, and her true feelings are wasted, but she wants to leave like this, how can she be reconciled?

After Prince Batu made a toast, he stood up to toast Tu Yuanyi, who also drank a glass with a smile.

Princess Mingzhu did not return to her seat, hesitated again and again, and said, "Your Majesty, wouldn't it be good for Da Zhou and Horqin to be friends forever?"

Tu Yuanyi smiled brightly: "This is a good thing, and I wish it!"

Princess Mingzhu paused and said, "Mingzhu is willing to be a bridge of friendship between Da Zhou and Horqin. The emperor thinks that Horqin is not worthy, or Mingzhu is not worthy?"

Under the surprised eyes of the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if it was a Mongolian woman, Mingzhu also blushed, her palms were sweating.

Tu Yuanyi smiled and said: "I already have a queen. If the pearl of the grassland is treated like a concubine, wouldn't it be dusted as a pearl? Dazhou is a state of etiquette, and it is impossible to do such a disrespectful thing to a friend. If the princess of the pearl chooses the best Son-in-law, I will definitely offer you a generous gift, all in the spirit of a friend."

Prince Batu couldn't help but feel that this was a shame. Even if Mongolia didn't have the ethics of the Han people, there were few daughters' families like this.Princess Mingzhu has no chance to meet Tu Yuanyi, if she doesn't say anything at this time, she really has no chance.

Batu ordered Mingzhu to back down, but Mingzhu clenched her fists tightly and said: "If the emperor... treats me like your concubine, Mingzhu will... have no objection."

The ministers of Da Zhou who were present couldn't help but suffocate. Some people thought to themselves: Which concubine has any objections to concubine Chen Guifei?

Tu Yuanyi said: "Princess Mingzhu has an extraordinary appearance, and I also think she is amiable, but she is just like a little sister, and I have never thought of him."

Batu pulled Mingzhu back, but Mingzhu was so heartbroken that she wanted to shed tears.

At this time, the envoys of the Zhungeer Department prepared an acrobatic performance, and Tu Yuanyi hurriedly showed great interest in order to divert everyone's attention.

After a while, I saw a few Mongolian men coming into the golden tent after listening to Xuan. They all brought a lot of tools, and Xing Xiuyan was also attracted.

Several big men performed dazzling somersaults, and then saw a big man take off his coat, revealing his strong upper body.Tu Yuanyi was actually slightly displeased, how could this man take off his clothes in front of Xiuxiu.

Seeing other performers beside him holding big knives, maces and other tools, Xing Xiuyan was full of interest and thought to himself: Do the Mongols also have magical skills such as golden bell jars and iron cloth shirts?Longevity manifests spirits?Or the magic of a shaman archmage?

In this world, there are monks, fairies, Chixia palaces, etc. It may not be that the Mongols do not have the magical powers of longevity and shamanism.

"Little Bamboo Pieces" suffered from an unconstrained occupational disease, and her eyes couldn't help but widen for fear of missing a single detail. She had absolutely no intention of seeing no evil, she wanted to witness a miracle.Tu Yuanyi squinted his phoenix eyes and hummed softly, but she didn't hear it either.
