Empress dowager, the queen sighed

Pei Yao reads Buddhist scriptures, learns Zen, and firmly remembers not to violate the way of heaven.The longevity medicine is against the way of heaven, so it should not be kept in the world.

A gust of wind wafted from the palace road, rippling through the pupils, making Pei Yao's eyes slightly astringent, "Bailishu is so smart, he has tried it for a hundred years without success, so it can be seen that God will not agree, why not follow the way of heaven and destroy all the methods developed gone."

Li Lexi didn't respond, she was not reconciled, and neither were the scholars from the southern border.

But there is only one Chu Yuan.

Pei Yao didn't try to persuade her anymore, because she felt a sense of oppression.Li Lexi fell into her own predicament, Pei Yao felt sorry for her, and she still insisted: "If you stop being paranoid, maybe the dream difficulty will disappear. Look, have you been dreaming for so long? How often do you see her?"

"Go back to Xuanshi Hall first." Li Lexi refused to answer.

****

Envoys from southern Xinjiang entered Luoyang City during the Shangsi Festival.People in southern Xinjiang dress differently from Luoyang, and the strange clothes make the people vigilant.

The official who received the envoy was Bailishu. She was fluent in southern Xinjiang, so she did not feel too much pressure to communicate with the envoy.

Bailishu took the envoys from Southern Xinjiang to take a look at the imperial street first, the bustling and bustling neighborhood made people unable to walk.She deliberately made people yell, sell wine, perform arts, and juggle that is not available in southern Xinjiang.

There was still a puppet show on the street, and the envoy stood in front of the stage and couldn't walk, so he proudly said with Bailishu: "We play better."

Baili Shu almost closed his eyes, but when he wanted to curse someone, he saw a familiar figure.

Li Puyu took Zhou Youan out of the house to watch the puppet show, the two stood side by side, Li Puyu was kind and considerate, holding two oiled paper bags in his hand, Zhou Youan took out the oiled paper bags from time to time.

It was a little far away, and Bailishu couldn't see what Zhou Youan was holding, but from her cheerful expression, it could be seen that it should be something she likes to eat.

The Southern Xinjiang envoy kept pointing and pointing at the puppet stage: "It's too small."

Bailishu didn't respond, and they pointed at the person who was playing with the puppet: "The movements are stiff."

Bailishu couldn't bear it anymore, and turned to look at them, "Say it again!"

The strong coercion made a group of Nanjiang people shut their mouths tightly. They laughed, but dared not speak any more.

Bailishu walked through the imperial street with them with a cold face, and Zhou Youan's squinting and smiling expression kept appearing in his mind. Li Puyu was obviously very patient.Otherwise, she would not be taken out to play. Today's puppet show was specially arranged for the envoys to watch.

The envoys from southern Xinjiang, Xu Shi, were soft and fearful. After being scolded by Bailishu, they became more peaceful and stopped talking along the way. When they entered the palace from the upper east gate, they showed obsessive expressions.

Back then, they almost came here by taxi, and they were almost taxis from the Central Plains.

They were talking in Nanjiang dialect, but Bailishu pretended not to hear them. After entering the hall of Xuanshi, she threw the person to Pei Yao and went to find the queen by herself.

The queen is in the side hall, and it is the emperor's business to summon the envoys. She can't do it on her behalf, and if she wants to hear it, she has to 'eavesdrop' in the side hall.

"Queen, I have come to ask you to marry me."

Li Lexi was stunned, "Who do you like?"

Bai Lishu said directly: "Zhou You'an." She closed her eyes, her head was buzzing.

Li Lexi stood still and looked at her coldly: "Zhou Youan is 16 years old. When I was with you last year, I didn't know about love and liked you in a daze. You didn't want to. Now, she has some eyebrows with Xiaoyaohou. You What are you going to mix in again?"

"The queen only cares about giving marriages, she still has ministers in her heart."

"Bailishu, you are reasonable, she doesn't like you anymore." Li Lexi smiled lowly, "It was you who thought she was crying, and she was afraid of pain, so you sent her back. Now, you can't see her Well done and come to propose marriage again, what are you pretending to be in your mind?"

Baili Shu remained expressionless, "I found out that I like her."

But Li Lexi said: "It's late." Zhou You'an lived in the Hou Mansion for many days, and if she didn't return to the Zhou Mansion immediately, it showed that she had some thoughts on Li Puyu.

"I gave you a chance, but you don't cherish it. Isn't it too late for you to make fried dough sticks after breakfast?"

Baili Shu was so angry that her face turned pale, her gaze was a little erratic, she clearly fell behind the queen, but she seemed to be devoid of spirit.

The hall was stagnant, and Gong'e didn't dare to breathe.

Li Lexi was not angry, and just looked at her calmly, "If I agree with you, I will tear them apart, Baili Shu, you are destined to live forever, and you are destined to suffer."

"Li Lexi, when you got Pei Yao, you didn't think about her death. Did you end up living?" Baili Shu was furious, resentful that the queen didn't help her.

Friends who have been friends for a hundred years, why not cherish them.

Li Lexi's eyes trembled, and he squeezed the fingertips of Zuoshu hard, his joints were clear, and he smiled coldly: "Is Zhou Youan Chu Yuan? Bailishu, you have lived for a hundred years, and you are not ignorant of world affairs. Don't look back. If Zhou You'an has feelings for you, you can go to the Zhou Mansion to propose marriage, if she agrees, I will give you a marriage."

Baili Shu gradually calmed down, "I will go to the Zhou Mansion to propose marriage tomorrow."

"I hope I get what I want, but the spies came to report that Li Puyu took great care of Zhou Youan, and would take her out of the house for outings on holidays. Do you think she will refuse Li Puyu to like you?" Li Lexi sighed.

"Try it, and then you'll know."

"Bailishu, just fight openly and don't do anything. If you hurt Li Puyu, I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs." Li Lexi reminded.

Baili Shu left without looking back, she didn't believe that she couldn't compete for a child.

Anyway, she still lived a hundred years!

Back at the Xuanshi Hall, Pei Yao was reading the national book, which was written by the southern border national scholar himself.

Pei Yao struggled to read, and when she saw Bailishu came back, she asked her to translate.

The letter of credence is not long, so it is first to say hello, and then to explain the benefits brought about by the exchanges between the two countries.It's an eloquent article with gorgeous rhetoric and no practical use.

Pei Yao felt that she had heard it but didn't, so she tried to ask Bailishu, "Didn't you say the elixir of longevity?"

"Are you a fool to be a national scholar in southern Xinjiang?" Bailishu sneered.

Pei Yao's face turned red from the sarcasm, she thought about it for a while, then signaled Bailishu to back down, and continued talking with the Southern Xinjiang envoy.

After Bailishu withdrew, he felt uncomfortable all over. Before the envoy from Southern Xinjiang returned to the post, he rode his horse to find Zhou Youan in Yujie.

The Nanjiang envoys in the palace didn't pay much attention to the Empress. The eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman was young and immature. They laughed at her wantonly and said words that Pei Yao couldn't understand.

Pei Yao held her chin and asked people to summon the queen, and she said to the envoy: "My queen is proficient in all languages ​​and has extremely high martial arts skills."

Nanjiang Shichen laughed wantonly, and looked at his companions with contempt.

Pei Yao grabbed the memorial and looked at Jing Tuo who had just recovered from his injury, "Commander Jing, how do you plan to deal with them?"

Jing Tuo remembered what the Empress did to the envoys of the puppet Han, and replied: "Chop a knife, make a corpse, and send it back to the southern border soldiers."

Pei Yao shook her head: "You have become kind."

Jing Tuo was curious: "How?"

"Destroy their bones and ashes." Pei Yao chuckled, with invisible coercion in her eyes, "Your master will shatter their bones and ashes."

At this time the queen entered the palace.Jing Tuo tilted his head, the master came, his eyes were cold, he whispered to the Empress, "Master doesn't need to do anything, it's fine if I come."

Pei Yao raised her eyes, glanced at the envoy indifferently, stood up, met the Queen's eyes, and stretched out her hand, "Queen, this is the envoy from Southern Xinjiang."

The moment the empress looked at each other, their hearts were glued together, and some of the envoys suddenly changed their faces, and they stared at the empress's face in disbelief.

The queen was seated, Pei Yao took her hand and asked quietly, "Do they know you?"

"I killed someone that day, so I just missed a few." Li Lexi said unhurriedly, and cast the most peaceful gaze at the envoy of Southern Xinjiang: "Long time no see."

Pei Yao pursed her thin lips, she didn't plan to get involved in their affairs anymore, after all, the queen doesn't like others to talk too much when she does things.

The envoys from southern Xinjiang started to panic and pretended to be confused, "The queen is very beautiful, just like a goddess on a snow mountain."

Pei Yao was amused.Li Lexi hooked her lips slightly, "Who told you to dig that grave?"

"The queen is beautiful, why do you say something we don't understand?" The southern border envoys smiled. The great pressure that followed the woman made them feel uncomfortable in their hearts, and they always felt that there was a breath in their hearts. Not coming.

"If you don't tell me, I will crush your ashes and scatter your ashes in the downtown area." Li Lexi looked at them indifferently, his eyes were as cold as ice.

"We are envoys from southern Xinjiang, and we came here with the good ideas of our national soldiers in southern Xinjiang. The queen can't kill us. Your Majesty the Empress of Wei, why are you silent?"

Pei Yao's body was slightly stiff, and it was difficult to keep silent. With a cold face, she said lightly: "Great Wei Jiangshan, the queen is a scholar."

The envoys couldn't sit still and stood up one after another, keeping vigilant, "Empress, we are sorry, but we only followed orders. Besides, we also gave you the bones later."

"Break your bones and ashes back to this palace?" Li Lexi stood up quietly, "It's okay, this palace will also smash your bones and ashes, knead your ashes into balls, and give gifts to the southern border soldiers."

"Queen..." The leader was astonished and panicked to the extreme. He lowered his voice and asked the queen, "Don't you want the two countries to be friendly?"

Although the mother of a country is not as far-sighted as the empress, she should think more about the obvious things for the common people.

"The communication between the two countries has nothing to do with this palace. What this palace wants to do is to crush you, that's all." Li Lexi was extremely arrogant, and didn't want to hear a word from them, so he ordered Jing Tuo to take him away.

Pei Yao added: "It's just that the envoys are disrespectful and covet the queen's beauty."

Jing Tuo: "..." This reason is too lame, who would believe it.

Anyway, he didn't believe it.

The envoys were dragged down, and they spoke arrogantly and behaved arrogantly in the imperial street, which was obvious to all the people.

After Pei Yao returned to silence in the hall, she quietly tugged on the Queen's cuff: "Will they solve your dream?"

"It's been a while since I've had a dream." Li Lexi's eyes were confused, and she didn't know why Chu Yuan didn't have a dream.

Pei Yao sighed softly, "Maybe your obsession is not that deep anymore, Queen, if you give up the elixir, maybe your obsession will disappear. As for Nanjiang, even if we kill the envoys, they will not dare to act rashly."

A strong country is good at war, the generals defend the country, and the queen is the best general, so they will weigh it before going to war in southern Xinjiang.

Li Lexi didn't believe Pei Yao's words, "I will look for it, if not in the future, I will accompany you if you die."

"Why bother, isn't Chu Yuan's idea just to be tied to you forever. If you die, her hard work will be in vain." Pei Yao shook her head and said with a little regret: "Longevity is not easy, you should cherish it."

Li Lexi shook her head, "Changsheng is too lonely without you."

It took 120 years to find Pei Yao, so it will take another 120 years.

It was too long and she didn't want to wait.

Pei Yao sighed softly, hugged her shoulders, and said slowly: "Eternal life is rare, it's a pity to abandon it. Isn't it great that you are alive and waiting for me to come back?"

"I don't want to, you don't have any memory, I still have to chase you, it's too difficult." Li Lexi showed a embarrassed look, what should I do if I chase the wrong person.

This relationship started with Chu Yuan and ended with Pei Yao.The country is changing, and the country is returning, and the golden year is the most beautiful brilliance.

Pei Yao gave up continuing to persuade, the future is too far away.She leaned on the queen, resting her head on her shoulder, her gaze fell on the dark palace door, "Queen, I want to go to southern Xinjiang."

"Southern Xinjiang is not fun, not as good as Luoyang." Li Lexi showed a look of disgust, "If southern Xinjiang is good, the ancient statesmen in southern Xinjiang will not desperately snatch the border of the Central Plains."

"Go and meet, find a day."

Li Lexi compromised: "When that child grows up and can take charge of the country, we will leave."

Pei Yao sighed: "It's too long ago."

Li Lexi also ignored her small thoughts, and walked towards the outside of the hall, Pei Yao followed immediately, "Queen, today is the Shangsi Festival, go to the Zhao Mansion for dinner, there is wine to drink."

****

The people in Zhao's residence are Pei Yao's last relatives, Jingan can't leave the nunnery, so she can only run to Zhao's residence more diligently.

Today's dinner is very rich, Mr. Zhao is a guest, the juniors sit together and throw pots, two people form a team, one person throws pots, and the other drinks after losing.

The empress is naturally in the same group, Li Lexi wants to throw in the pot, but Pei Yao refuses, "I'm here, I will never let the empress drink a drop of wine."

Everyone covered their lips to hide their smiles, and Li Lexi held his forehead, hoping to avoid drinking a glass of wine.

Pei Yao grew up in a nunnery, but she didn't know that tossing the pot is a game often played by nobles, it is not difficult to hit nine out of ten, and there are also two and three hits with one pot.

Pei Yao was stunned after getting the special arrow, "Compared with archery?"

Li Lexi sat behind the food table and covered her face. Her Majesty the Empress, who didn't even know what a pitching pot was, threatened just now that she wouldn't let her have a sip of wine...

The girls of the Zhao family covered their faces and smiled lowly. They were really afraid of the Queen's Tianyan, and they didn't dare to laugh too much. They only dared to laugh lowly for a while, and they pushed the empress to vote first.

Pei Yao walked slowly in front of the queen, "Is it okay to hold Buddha's feet temporarily?"

"Throw it, I won't get drunk after a thousand cups." Li Lexi almost lay flat on Ren Xiao, pointing to the mouth of the pot, "Just throw your arrow in it, nothing else."

Pei Yao regained her spirits and said to herself: "I will definitely win them."

Li Lexi warned: "Monks don't tell lies."

Pei Yao glared at her: "I have returned to vulgarity, so I am not considered a monk."

"Your Majesty, vote quickly."

"Your Majesty, let us see how you can keep the queen from drinking a drop of wine."

Before Pei Yao was in love with the queen enough, she was pushed down before throwing the pot. She asked the queen, "Is it okay to throw it in?"

"That's right." Li Lexi waved to the maid who was carrying the 'fortified wine', and did not forget to tell the Empress: "Your Majesty, you and I are in the same boat through thick and thin, this time you make your own decision."

There was something in the words, Pei Yao suddenly came back to her senses.Li Lexi rested her chin, resting a well-knit hand on the food table, tapping lightly on the surface of the table, making a low muffled sound from time to time, looking at her face again, she was at ease, when the maid approached, she resolutely Picking up a glass of wine, with a gentle smile on his face: "Your Majesty, feel free."

This casual sentence made Pei Yao much more relaxed. With a light movement of his wrist, he threw an arrow and missed.

Li Lexi sighed, Yang Shou drank a glass of wine.

Pei Yao tried again.

Perhaps it was too easy, once Pei Yao missed, the others won without having to vote.The queen sneered, "Where's your arrogance?"

Pei Yao's face flushed with embarrassment, "I thought throwing a pot was just drinking..."

Li Lexi: "..." How could she like this idiot?

She needed to get back some face for the Empress, and looked at the little girl on the other side: "I'll just use it once to compare with you, how about it?"

It's not very kind to bully the little girl. She wanted to change her words, but the other girl almost jumped up and agreed one after another.

Helpless, the queen had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Li Lexi was slightly drunk, and his steps were vain, he lined up ten pots, holding five arrows in each hand.

The little girls were surprised, but only the old lady Zhao said with a smile: "You have lost, the empress is going to do her best."

As soon as the words fell, there was a bang, and the arrows entered the mouth of the pot without exception.

The old lady Zhao laughed even more happily, "The empress kills three birds with one stone, let alone piercing Yang with a hundred steps, it's just a mere throw of a pot, it's a bit of a bully."

Pei Yao stepped forward to hug her queen, kissed her forehead in front of everyone, and said proudly, "My queen is omnipotent."

Not knowing whether it was drunk or shy, Li Lexi's cheeks flushed slightly.

Drinking alcohol is not considered cheating, it coincided with Zhao Zhihuai's return to the mansion, the juniors did not dare to make a fuss, and the empress returned to the palace.

In the twilight, there was a lamp hanging in front of the carriage, through the faint light, Pei Yao saw Li Lexi's face clearly, and said softly: "If a wife is Li Lexi, she will be happy if she loses her bones and sheds ashes."

Li Lexi's heart warmed up, the icebergs in her eyes melted and turned into a pool of spring water, she stared closely at Pei Yao's eyes, "Why, I will guard you."

She was a little drunk, there was a sense of tenderness in her dark eyes, and her slender eyelashes were full of joy.Pei Yao saw her eyes clearly, they were crystal clear, as if they were empty, but also seemed to be full of affection.

Li Lexi's face flushed slightly, she raised her head and kissed the corner of Pei Yao's lips, unable to stop, from shallow to deep.

Her pride, the prestige accumulated over a hundred years, was reduced to nothing at this moment.

Pei Yao kissed her and kissed her, she became extremely submissive, she let it go, but the moan between her teeth could not be suppressed.

She became extremely weak, as if she would break if touched.Pei Yao took care of her carefully, and the journey back became very short.Finally, the carriage stopped in front of the Zhonggong Gate.

The two of them didn't get out of the car, no one dared to urge them, Qingzhu drove them away, and he himself guarded from a distance.

When it was almost midnight, the empress came down. She carried the empress on her back and walked slowly towards the Jiaofang Hall.

Qing Zhu was surprised, this time His Majesty came back standing up?

****

In the early morning of the next day, the national teacher was absent, and the courtiers turned pale with fright when they heard that the empress had crushed the southern border envoys to ashes, and dared not say a word.

Therefore, the speed of the dispersal of the court was much faster than in the past, and it was over in an hour, and the courtiers couldn't wait to leave the Xuanshi Hall.

At this time, the national teacher Bailishu asked to see the empress.

Pei Yao's heart skipped a beat, could this foolish man have failed in his confession?

Baili Shu walked into the hall with a blank face, his footsteps were flimsy, Pei Yao hurriedly asked: "Did the Zhou family not accept your betrothal gift?"

"Zhou You'an said that she likes Li Puyu." Bailishu's tone was extremely calm, and she slowly looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, you said that she obviously likes my minister, so why would she change her love for him?"

"She stopped the loss in time. After all, Li Puyu is gentle and considerate." Pei Yao explained.

Baili sighed, "But he is a man."

Pei Yao's brows twitched, "Xiaoyaohou is a woman, and the queen supported her to ascend to the throne of God because she is a woman. You should think about the queen's temperament, she can't do things that ordinary people do."

Bailishu cried bitterly, "You lied to me..."

"Whether Xiaoyaohou is a man or a woman has nothing to do with you. Even if she is a man, Zhou You'an will also like her. Maybe she will like someone else. When she first fell in love, you hurt her. Now, she has found love. For a person, getting out of the pain you gave her is the happiest thing she has ever done in her life." Pei Yao explained slowly.

"You like Chu Yuan, but you don't know that she is a woman. Now, what role does she occupy in your heart? Li Lexi can kill everyone in the world for her, but you, what have you done? You have lived for a hundred years and still I don't know love. Now, it can be regarded as a lesson for you. "

Baili Shu's eyes were sharp, "I can make her change her mind, I can make her forget about Li Puyu."

After saying that, she left in a hurry before saluting, and went to find the queen to ask for the secret art of southern border.

Pei Yao didn't know her obsession, but she was a lunatic again.

People who have lived for a hundred years are more or less obsessed.Miss Li's obsession is still unresolved. Last night she was dreaming and talking, and she was still calling Ah Chu.

Who is Ah Chu?Pei Yao guessed that it was Chu Yuan's baby name, or an alias.In short, the queen does not dream of other people in her dreams.

Pei Yao didn't care about other people and guessed that the queen should wake up at this time.

****

Li Lexi woke up with a splitting headache, and even felt some pain in her body. She got up numbly, but felt extremely tired.

What happened last night?

She can't remember.

But when he lowered his head, he saw the marks on his chest, and he knew what happened without guessing, the little thing must have bullied her while she was drunk.

She is not enough on a daily basis and dares to act while she is drunk...

Before thinking too much, Bailishu broke into the central palace, fought with the inner court guards, and entered the Jiaofang Palace all the way.

Li Lexi put on her clothes and stood up at the entrance of the hall, looking at the woman in white robes, her brows and eyes trembled, and she ordered: "Everyone go down, the national teacher enters the hall to talk."

"Li Lexi!" Bailishu yelled violently, rushing over to stop the queen from returning to the palace, "Li Lexi, help me once."

Li Lexi woke up for the first time, her brows and eyes were sleepy, and there was a blush on her lips, she couldn't see it herself, she just felt a little pain.She covered her clothes tightly, and met Bailishu's crazy eyes: "I don't do things to break up mandarin ducks. I can do anything else. Even if I want to kill someone, I won't blink."

It's not easy for two people who love each other, why bother breaking up.

She admits that she has done all the evil things in the world, but she has never separated a lover.She has experienced pain, how could she let others experience heart-piercing pain again.Although she is not kind, she doesn't want to beat mandarin ducks with sticks.

"Then help me kill Li Puyu."

The author has something to say: This is called regretting after you can't get it.
