Zong Qiongyao's Haoxiang

Haoxiang and the others hid in the tree for a while, when a royal boat with a bright yellow flag sailed slowly.

This royal boat is huge, and once it comes, it fills up the originally not narrow river.Yuzhou is a two-story building boat. The building above the deck is made of sandalwood. The carved beams and painted buildings on it are extremely exquisite, as if all the exquisiteness in the world are integrated into one body.

The emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe and several accompanying officials stood at the bow of the boat with their hands behind their backs, looking at the bustling Qinhuai River, and listening to the Jiangning magistrate's endless praise for this place behind him, his gloomy face Finally, a smile appeared on the face.

The two beards on the emperor's mouth fluttered slightly under the breeze, as if they would blow away with the wind at any time, so he had to touch them twice to confirm the existence of the beards.

Ever since he suffered the sword from Little Swallow, the emperor has been diagnosed as inhumane by the imperial physician.This matter was a palace secret, and only a few people who were present at the time knew about it. Afterwards, the embarrassment and anger of the emperor secretly dealt with these imperial physicians. Only one Fucha Haoxiang was tightly protected by the empress dowager, so the emperor could not do anything to him.

But no matter how many imperial physicians the emperor kills, it has become a fact that he has a hidden disease.The emperor found many glamorous concubines, but they still failed to revive him.He even found that he became like the eunuch beside him, his beard gradually became thinner, and the last one was not left.The emperor was afraid that others would know his secret, so he made two fake beards and stuck them to his mouth all day long.

The emperor became irritable and gloomy. Although the chief culprit who caused him so far had been tortured to death by him, it was still not enough to relieve the hatred in his heart.He thinks that during the past 30 years of his reign, he has worked hard, pacified Jinchuan to establish Tibet, and diligently governed and loved the people to make the world peaceful and prosperous.He deeply felt that his martial arts and martial arts were comparable to the holy ancestor (Kangxi).But even though he had done so much, God still treated him so harshly—it made him lose his dignity as a man.

Since the heavens are not benevolent, what kind of emperor is he, the emperor?Carpe diem is serious.

Therefore, this southern tour, on the surface, was the emperor's visit to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the people's sentiments, but in fact it was the emperor's visit in the name of the tour.There were more than 1000 concubines, entourage ministers, and bodyguards, more than [-] horses, and more than [-] ships.All the way to the front and back to embrace the mighty.Its ostentation and cost are astounding.

Local officials along the way knew that the emperor paid attention to ostentation and entertainment, so they competed to please each other, arranged palaces, displayed antiques, and purchased various famous delicacies and special products.

However, the emperor not only did not stop the flattery and flattery of local officials, but encouraged them.Some of the accompanying ministers who spoke out and advised them were reprimanded by the emperor at least, or dismissed from office at worst, so no one dared to persuade them again.

The emperor was very satisfied with this, he just wanted to play comfortably, but these people insisted on making irresponsible remarks, and it would be best if these obtrusive people could disappear from his eyes.

Without those "jumping clowns" who "professed to be upright", the emperor's mood was much happier.At this time, the west is sinking day by day, the lights on the Qinhuai River are shining, and the pavilions and pavilions on the riverside are too beautiful to behold.The emperor finally started to travel, and asked local officials to serve as guides to explain the scenery here.

The local officials knew the emperor's romantic disposition, heard him talk about "the scenery here", but they didn't know what he was referring to, so they immediately sent people to bring the prepared Qinhuai prostitutes to the dragon boat.

At this time, the guards came up to report and said: "My Majesty, Twelve Elder Brothers and Fucha's imperial doctor happened to travel here, and they are now on the shore. Do you see?"

"Since they are here, let them come up."

"twitter"

Yong Xin and Hao Xiang originally wanted to touch the boat to find out what was going on, but Yong Xin saw the queen on the boat.It has been more than three months since they came out, and Yong Xin missed the queen very much, so the two decided to show up on the boat.

After boarding a dragon boat in a small boat, the two first went to meet the emperor.

The emperor was a little indifferent to Twelve, and only asked him where he had traveled and what he had experienced in the past few months, and he didn't ask any more questions. As for Emperor Haoxiang, he didn't even look at him.

However, unlike Yong Xing, the emperor frequently praised Yong Xing, the eleventh elder brother who accompanied him on the tour, saying that he was very good at handling affairs.

Comparing the emperor's attitude towards these two elder brothers, the accompanying officials couldn't help wondering whether the emperor's move was for the eleventh elder brother.

But Yong Xin didn't care about the throne at all, so he didn't care about it.What really caught his attention was the unusually hot gaze from behind since he sat down, and he knew it wasn't Haoxiang, because that gaze made him shudder from the bottom of his heart, but when he turned around, he didn't find anything unusual.

Haoxiang felt his strangeness, so he squeezed his hand quietly, and asked him via sound transmission: "What's going on?"

Seeing that it's not the time to talk now, Yong Xin gave him a look of "Let's talk later".

While the two were making eye contact, the famous Qinhuai prostitutes called by the official also came on board one by one, and in an instant the emperor's cabin was full of beauties, with a faint fragrance.

The famous Qinhuai prostitutes really lived up to their reputation. These ten beauties each had their own strengths, singing and dancing, taking turns to perform on stage, amazed and amazed by the officials on board.Even the emperor, who was used to beauties, admired these talented prostitutes.

"Why is she here too?" Yong Xing looked at Shen Mengru in the field in surprise, lowered his voice and asked Hao Xiang who was sitting beside him.

"However, she is also one of the ten beauties in Qinhuai, so it is not surprising that she was invited here." Hao Xiang didn't care about Shen Mengru.

When he answered Yongzheng, he glanced at Brother Eleven inadvertently, just in time to see Brother Eleven constantly glancing at Yongzheng, Haoxiang's hand holding the teacup tightened suddenly, seeing Yong Xin seemed to be unaware of this, so he suppressed himself and planned to wait and see what happened.

After hearing Haoxiang's words, Yongzhen didn't pay much attention.But when the emperor stared at Shen Mengru with a good eye, Yongzhen was a little anxious, because he heard the panic in Shen Mengru's piano sound.

"What should I do? She doesn't seem to want to be seen by Huang Ama."

"It's easy to do, just change someone who is willing to be his fancy." Hao Xiang swept his eyes, only to see a woman in red holding a pipa constantly flirting with the emperor.

"It's her."

Hao Xiang secretly pinched a magic formula, which gradually dimmed the brilliance of Shen Mengru's face, while the woman in red shone brightly.

After a while, the emperor turned his gaze to the woman in red, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became - the temperament and charm of this woman was so similar to Xia Yuhe!

The emperor waved his hand to stop the singing and dancing, and couldn't help asking the woman in red: "What's your name?"

"Slave Xia Yingying, I'm here to greet the emperor." The woman in red suppressed her excitement when she heard the words, stood up with her pipa in her arms, bowed to the emperor Yingying, and replied softly.

"Your surname is Xia too?" The emperor looked at her thoughtfully.

"Yes, this servant's family name is Xia."

The emperor pondered for a while, then said to Xia Yingying: "I know."

Then he waved his hands and said to everyone: "It's getting late, I'm here today, you all go back."

Compared with the previous few days, today is already very early, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but since the emperor had spoken, they still got up one after another, saying: "Your ministers (ministers, etc.) leave first."

"Slaves and maids leave." All the famous prostitutes also got up to leave.

"Xia Yingying stay, everyone else go back."

Xia Yingying thought that the emperor didn't take a fancy to her and she was a little disappointed, but when she heard this, she immediately recovered, and said to the emperor with a smile: "Yes, I obey."

When the other singing girls left, they were very envious of Xia Yingying, but Shen Mengru was secretly grateful.Shen Mengru originally thought that she would not be able to escape tonight, but fortunately the emperor did not take a fancy to her, otherwise it would be difficult for her to live a clean life in the future.

Although she saw the two people who entered her boudoir that day during the banquet, she did not dare to have any communication with them, for fear of causing trouble to them.So when he went out and passed them, he only nodded slightly to the two of them, and hurried off the boat.

"She is a sensible person." Hao Xiang said with a smile as he looked at Shen Mengru's back in a hurry.

Yong Xin smiled and nodded, admiring this intelligent and indifferent woman.

He knew that the emperor had long since lost that ability, but he didn't care about the reason why the emperor kept Xia Yingying. All he cared about was the empress, "Let's go see the empress's mother."

But someone blocked their way.

"Twelve brothers, long time no see, why don't we go out and have a chat?" Brother Eleven stood in front of Yong Xin and said with a smile on his face.

Yong Xing parted the arm that was on his shoulder, frowned and refused, "Forgive me, Brother Eleven, I may not have seen Huang Erniang for a long time, and I miss you very much. I am going to Huang Erniang's place now."

Brother Eleven was rejected by him but still didn't give up, and continued to insist: "It's true, why don't we go together to pay respects to Queen Mother."

Yongzheng didn't know how to refuse, when Haoxiang said: "Brother Eleven, it seems that you can't go, someone is looking for you." Haoxiang raised his chin, indicating that there is someone behind him.

Several officials felt that elder brother eleven was likely to be made the crown prince by the emperor, so they rushed to curry favor with him, and were about to invite him to have a drink.Eleven Brother secretly resented them for being in the way at the critical moment, but there is still room for them, so it was not good to lower his face and refuse in front of them at this time, so he had to say sorry to Yong Xin.

Yong Xing finally got rid of Eleven's inexplicable closeness, rubbed off the goosebumps on his arms, and went to the queen's cabin with Hao Xiang.

The concubine Ling was pregnant this time, and the queen mother was in poor health. Neither of them could travel long distances, so this southern tour was not able to come.There was not much space on board, and only the emperor, the empress, and two concubines with higher status had their own separate rooms in the cabin. The two quickly found the queen's cabin under the guidance of the guards.

Haoxiang didn't go in with him, it was dark and it was difficult for him to follow in, so he waited outside the door for him.

After Yongxin knocked on the door, Nanny Rong opened the door.

"Emperor Niang, I'm here to see you."

The queen knew that Yongzhen was on the boat, and she had been waiting for him early in the morning. Seeing that he really came, the queen was very happy, but she didn't let him go. It's been three months since the two of you went there, and there hasn't been a single letter, Empress Empress is so worried."

After being reminded by the queen, Yongzhen finally remembered that the two of them had forgotten to report to the queen that they were safe, and felt a little ashamed, "It's my son's fault."

"Okay, it's good to be back, where is Haoxiang?" The queen said those words just to remind him to remember to keep safe next time, not to blame him.

"It's just outside, do you want to call him in?"

Yong Xing was about to open the door to let Hao Xiang in, but was stopped by the queen. "Don't, don't, just talk to us girls, what do you want him to do? Come, let the empress take a good look at you."

The queen looked him over and said with satisfaction: "That's right, it seems that Haoxiang didn't make you thinner, and you have grown a little taller. What have you guys done these past few months?"

"...Hehe, it's nothing, I just lived in Kunlun Mountain for a few months." Yongzheng thought that the two of them were still messing around this morning, so he didn't dare to speak, his face was burning hot, so he could only laugh cover up.

Fortunately, the candlelight was dim at this time of night, and the queen didn't see the blush on his face clearly, but was amazed at the Kunlun Mountain he was talking about, "What are you doing there? You are not afraid of the cold the most, are you not frozen?"

As the queen said, she wanted to check to see if there were any signs of frostbite on his body.

At this time, the boy Yongzheng still had red marks all over his body, he didn't dare to show it to the queen, he ran around to prevent the queen from touching his clothes.He kept yelling: "No, no, I'm not afraid of the cold anymore. Queen Mother, I'm already this old, can you stop treating me like a child."

"It doesn't matter how old you are? You are still my son." The Queen laughed.

Then Yongzhen picked out interesting things that happened in the past few months to tell the queen, and heard some things about the palace from the queen, and stayed with the queen for half an hour before coming out.

"Huh, it's dangerous!" Yong Xing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter?" Haoxiang looked amused, as if he had escaped a catastrophe.

Yong Xing wanted to get angry again when he heard him ask this question, but he still remembered that this place was on a dragon boat, so he glared at him and shouted in a low voice: "The empress almost found the marks on my body, and it was all because of you! Scared me to death Already!"

"..." Haoxiang shuddered when he thought of the scene when the queen found out the terrifying traces of Yongzheng's body.

According to the queen's strong desire to protect Yongzheng, if she really knows what good things he has done to her son, I am afraid that he will eat the good fruit.
