Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

When Xue Shu returned with his clothes in his hands, Yin Chengyu had already entered the water.

The curling white water vapor blurred his figure, Xue Shu could only vaguely see a trace of porcelain white soaked in the water, which was dyed red by the hot spring water not long after.

Xue Shu put his clothes behind the screen, and heard Yin Chengyu calling him from the other side of the pool.He walked over quickly, and saw Yin Chengyu half lying on the edge of the pool, looking up, his skin was like fine porcelain, and his lips were like cinnabar.The glazed bead-like eyes were filled with mist, like a demon.

"Wipe Gu's back."

His tone was flat and his expression was calm, as if this was an extremely simple request.

Xue Shu suddenly felt that the hot spring pool was too hot.

The room was full of steam, but he felt his mouth was dry.

After a few breaths, Xue Shu answered with a calm voice.He went to get a cloth towel, knelt down by the pool, leaned forward slightly, moistened the cloth with water, and wiped Yin Chengyu's back.

His movements were very light and slow, his eyebrows were lowered, and his eyes moved with the cloth.

If Yin Chengyu looked back, he would see him alone in his eyes.The storm, the seven emotions and six desires all arise because of him.

However, Yin Chengyu never looked back for a moment.

He squinted his eyes comfortably, with his chin resting on his arm, and his long black hair was tied on top of his head. The back of his head was full, and the rounded arc was retracted from the back of his neck. His snow-white neck was slender, in sharp contrast to the black hair, black The blacker, the whiter the whiter.

The strong chromatic aberration impacted Xue Shu's eyes.

He swallowed a few times with difficulty, and looked away in embarrassment, not daring to look any further.

However, within a few breaths, it was hard to restrain itself and turned back again, like a wild wolf seeing its prey, greedy and fierce, eager to try.

But in the end he just watched, afraid to scare the prey away.

Yin Chengyu soaked in the pool for three quarters of an hour, exhausted all over his body and dispersed.

"Okay, no more wiping."

He straightened up, glanced at Xue Shu, and saw that the corners of his eyes were red with restraint, so he laughed: "Pass me the bigger cloth towel."

Difficultly looking away from him, Xue Shu took a dry cloth towel and handed it to him.

Yin Chengyu took it, put it on casually, and stepped out on the steps.

The cloth towel is wide and covers most of it.

But the half-covered appearance is even more intriguing.

Xue Shu's eyes followed the porcelain white, and finally settled on the screen, unable to move anymore.

Yin Chengyu changed into a soft and dry middle coat, untied her hair crown, let her long hair loose, and then came out from behind the screen.

"Change clothes for Gu."

He turned towards Xue Shu, stretched his arms and raised his chin slightly to look at him.While speaking, the eyelashes trembled, and the water droplets at the end fell down.

Xue Shu stretched out his hand to catch it, and a little coolness spread in his palm and penetrated into his heart.

The Adam's apple kept rolling, Xue Shu looked at the man deeply, took the outer garment on the side, shook it off, and put it on for him.

It's just that when he was half squatting and fastening his belt, his eyes accidentally caught sight of the snow-white tunic inside, his fingers trembled, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Yin Chengyu: "This tunic..."

"...It belongs to the minister." Xue Shu swallowed a bit before finishing his sentence.

Yin Chengyu raised his lips, slid his fingers across his eyebrows, and landed on his very thick eyelashes. He fiddled with his fingertips repeatedly, and his tone was light: "What's wrong with you? You bit a single shirt earlier, Shouldn't one be paid for?"

Xu Shi had soaked in the hot spring pool for a long time, and even his voice seemed to be soaked in water and became damp.

Xue Shu tightened his grip on his belt, and said after a while, "...it's compensation."

Yin Chengyu glanced at him, waited patiently for him to fasten his clothes, and then sat down on the imperial concubine's couch beside him.

Xue Shu took a deep breath, brought a pair of moiré moccasin boots, knelt on the ground with one knee, and let him step on his knee.He took his other foot and carefully put on the shoe and sock.

Yin Chengyu was lazily leaning on the bed, and suddenly noticed a little red mark on the back of his foot.

He frowned, raised his leg and stepped on Xue Shu's shoulder, pointed at the red mark and said, "Is this bitten by a bug?"

Xue Shu looked sideways, and his eyes flickered when he saw the red mark.

That should have been left by him accidentally.Yin Chengyu's skin is too fair, so it is easy to leave marks.

He secretly looked at Yin Chengyu's expression, and couldn't tell whether he saw it or not.Today's Highness is no longer as easy to figure out as in the previous life.

So he didn't answer, just looked at the red mark with strange eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I will give you some medicine for Your Highness."

Before she finished speaking, her lips touched the red mark.

Yin Chengyu subconsciously wanted to retract his foot, but he firmly held his ankle.

The warm touch came from the back of his feet, and the fingers hanging by his side tightened. Yin Chengyu breathed heavily, and his eyes were stained a little.

"Do you want me to serve His Highness?" Xue Shu noticed his change, raised his head, met his gaze, licked his lips, his eyes were full of excitement before hunting.

The two looked at each other for a few breaths, their eyes intertwined.

Finally, Yin Chengyu withdrew his legs, leaned over and pinched his chin, pressed his thumb against his lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "How do you want to serve, do you use this place?"

Xue Shu's eyes dimmed, he bit his fingertips, and his voice came out from between his teeth: "As Your Highness likes."

……

The two delayed for another two minutes before leaving.

Yin Chengyu's long hair was disheveled, and the tails of his eyes were bright red. After Xue Shu put on the fox fur and tied it for him, he hugged the hand warmer and walked slowly to his yard.

Xue Shu followed behind him, his eyes dark and unsatisfied.

It's not enough.

The next day, winter hunting began.

The winter hunt for Danxi lasted for ten days, and the first day was a banquet of singing and dancing. The nobles of the royal family, civil and military officials, and envoys from Wala and Tatars would all attend the banquet.

It is not only the relaxation before the hunting begins, but also the best time to ascertain the enemy's situation.

Emperor Longfeng had been very happy in the palace for the past two days, and when he was sitting on the main seat and toasting to the two envoys, he was quite high-spirited.

"Drink this cup to the brim, everyone!"

Previously, because of Yin Chengzhang's death, Concubine Wen Gui cried endlessly, and even the harem was not at peace.Emperor Longfeng had a headache for a while.At the beginning, he felt sorry for Concubine Wen Gui and his second son, and even fasted for a few days to pray for the dead second son.

But a man's sadness sometimes only lasts for a moment, he is the emperor and the lord of the world.Although his beloved second son died, he still has three sons and one daughter.Not to mention that there are so many young and beautiful concubines in the harem, and he will have more children in the future.

So after Yin Chengzhang's burial, Emperor Longfeng's sadness completely faded away.

Even the concubine Wen Gui, who was unhappy all day long, avoided it a little. Although the rewards continued, she no longer went to Jingren Palace.

Concubine Wen Gui also noticed the changes in Emperor Longfeng. She hadn't avenged her son yet, so she naturally refused to lose the emperor's favor, so she suppressed her grief and came to Danxi Palace together.

In the past few days in the palace, she has turned back into the charming concubine she used to be, coaxing Emperor Longfeng to feel comfortable physically and mentally.

Right now, the noble concubine Xia was sitting beside Emperor Longfeng, holding a wine glass in her hand, her eyes wandered over the people at the table, and finally settled on the Oala envoy Mubar.

This time, the emissary sent by Oala was the youngest little prince Mubar, and the envoy of Tatar was Taishi Aharu.

After the division of Mongolia in the north, Eastern Mongolia was occupied by Tatars, while Western Mongolia was occupied by Oirats. The tribes were separated and attacked each other.

The Dayan in the south of the Great Wall is the fat coveted by Wala and Tatar.

The relationship between the three parties is delicate and fragile.

Wala and Tatar not only paid tribute to Dayan, but also sent troops to harass without hesitation when they were powerful, trying to bite off a piece of meat from their powerful neighbors.In order to compete for the right to speak in Mobei, Oala and Tatar have been fighting continuously for years. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

As for Dayan, counting from the Taizu, several ambitious emperors have sent troops to conquer several times, but they have not conquered the northern tribes.

In the period of Emperor Xiaozong, he cut off all contact with Wala and Tatar.It was not until Emperor Longfeng succeeded to the throne that they resumed contact.It's just that the national power was empty at that time, and Emperor Longfeng had no ambitions. Therefore, the external policy for these years was to support the weak and maintain balance.

Between Wala and Tatar, no matter who is at a disadvantage, Dayan will help to ensure that the internal strife in the northern tribes continues, and they cannot completely withdraw themselves to deal with Dayan.

Just this spring, the Tatars raided Oara, and the king of Oara was seriously injured. The injury is unknown, and there was a lot of turmoil in Oara.I heard that the little prince Mubar, who was sent to participate in the winter hunting of Danrhinoceros, was the most beloved son of King Oara, and King Oara had always intended to pass on the throne to him.

The reason why Mubar was invited to participate in the winter hunting as an envoy this time was to seek help from Dayan, and the second reason was that King Oara intended to marry Mubar and Dayan to help Mubar secure his throne with the help of Dayan.

These news are what Concubine Wen Gui heard from Emperor Longfeng.

When Emperor Longfeng first arrived at the palace, the envoys of Oara had already paid a secret visit, expressing the idea of ​​marriage in a vague way.

It's just that Emperor Longfeng didn't immediately agree because he was concerned about his face—whether Tatar or Wala were subordinate countries of Dayan, and they had to rely on Dayan's support.For more than two hundred years, only Wala and Tatars have paid tribute to Dayan, and there has never been a princess and marriage.

Concubine Wen Gui took a sip of her wine, glanced at Yin Chengyu and Yin Ciguang who were attacking, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, and she quickly suppressed it.

During the banquet, toasts were mixed, and cups were exchanged.

The dancers wore light gauze clothes and spun on the carpet with bare feet.

Ahalu stood up, raised his wine glass, and said in fluent mandarin: "Your Majesty Dayan, strong wine should be a beauty match. For this winter hunting of red rhinoceros, I brought not only the fierce horses from the north, but also the wild horses from the grassland. Pearl." He looked at the graceful dancer in the center, and contempt flashed in his eyes: "Please let our prairie pearl dance for His Majesty, only the heroic daughter of the prairie is worthy of this fine wine!"

There was a faint belittle in his words, and some sensitive officials had already frowned.

But Emperor Longfeng didn't realize it, he put down his wine glass and said "OK".

"Bring up your prairie pearl."

Ahalu clapped his hands and glanced behind him, then a woman in black came forward and stood in the center,

She was wearing a loose black robe, her face was hidden under the hood.But with the tightened belt, you can still see some pretty figure.

The dancers who were originally dancing in the center slowly unscrewed to make room for her.

The woman raised her head, her wonderful eyes swept across Emperor Longfeng and Concubine Wen Gui on the main seat in turn, and finally settled on Yin Chengyu.

She lifted her hood, revealed a bright face, and smiled in Yin Chengyu's direction.Then before everyone was amazed, they saw her jumping on tiptoe, casually pulling the belt around her waist, and the black robe fell to the ground, revealing the delicate dance clothes inside.

Under the dance clothes, there is a degree of slenderness.

She raised her hands above her head, spread her five fingers, her palms trembled, and golden bells rang between her wrists.Then he turned his wrist and pulled out a delicate thin whip from his waist.At the same time as he jumped up suddenly, the thin whip whipped across the ground, and the crisp sound of whipping even overwhelmed the sound of music.
