Chapter 67
Chapter 67
The imperial concubine was abducted by the queen!
This is a major event that cannot be hidden. Chen Jia decided to take the initiative to tell Tang Yi. After all, confession is lenient and resistance is strict.
At dusk, Tang Yi thought that the queen had finally left the palace, and his mother would have time to accompany him, so he called his servants to invite Concubine Chen Guifei to come over for dinner.
Seeing that the big secret was about to be exposed, Chen Jia hurriedly dismissed the servant, took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Tang Yi.
"Ah Yi, please read this letter."
Tang Yi took a look, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of puzzlement.
The handwriting on the envelope seemed to belong to the late emperor, but why did the late emperor leave a letter for her?
She took out the letter paper, and after reading the content on it, a wave of anger welled up in her heart.
With a sound of "beep", the letter paper was slapped heavily on the table, and the thin body trembled, as if unable to bear the host's anger.
"Emperor, it's a long way for me to go here, and I specially invite the noble concubine to accompany me. Please don't worry about it."
The queen actually took her mother to Nanqiang!
What is this for?Elope?
"Why are you..." Say it now!
When her eyes met those cat eyes, she restrained her emotions and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me about this before? Why didn't you stop her."
"I... I'm not her opponent." Chen Jia felt aggrieved, "If it wasn't for thinking that we would all leave, you would be too lonely in this palace alone, I would also like to follow."
Um?The alarm bell in Tang Yi's heart suddenly sounded.
"What are you going to do?"
"Of course I went to see my cousin. Her sudden marriage is too strange. I don't feel relieved. I have to go and have a look. If she is cheated, I will take her out of the sea of suffering. If she is willing to marry the prince Ma'am, I'm going to congratulate you too."
Chen Jia regretted that he didn't persevere at the beginning, and missed an opportunity to go to Southern Qiang for nothing.
Seeing that the direction of the conversation was getting more and more deviated from the normal track, Tang Yi hurriedly interrupted Chen Jia, and persuaded: "Lin Jiao is not so easy to be manipulated, since she agreed to this marriage, she must be willing, so you don't need to talk too much. thought about it.
If you have the time, why don't you care about me more. "
Tang Yi was still a little jealous of Lin Jiao.
Lin Jiao and Jia Jia are childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is extraordinary, plus Lin Jiao's temperament of not speaking and giving silently, it really makes people feel distressed.But Jiajia is soft-hearted, if she knows Lin Jiao's thoughts, she will feel guilty again.
Chen Jia was worried at first, but after what Tang Yi said, he felt that it was reasonable, so he gave up the idea of chasing Nanqiang.
"Well, you're right, then I won't go." She sighed, "Actually, it's good for my cousin to settle down in Nanqiang. My uncle and Lin Yu's 'cousin' have already gone, and my aunt's life or death is uncertain. Talking about all of this will definitely cause her great pain. But it is different in Nanqiang, where no one understands her past, will not ridicule her, and can live a peaceful life."
Tang Yi seemed unwilling to continue this topic, picked up a chopstick and put it into her bowl.
"Let's have dinner, you're almost too tall, you're not even up to my chin, I'm really worried."
Chen Jia glared at the other party, picked up the bowl full of resentment, planed the rice vigorously, and hummed: "I'm still young, I can still grow, so someone may not be sure."
Does this dislike her for being old?Tang Yi kicked Chen Jia's calf lightly under the table to express his dissatisfaction.
Sensing the movement on the leg, Chen Jia was stunned for a moment, and wanted to kick back, but after a while, he found that the opponent's movements were regular, soft and slow.And those parts of the lower leg that are hit, create a wonderful sense of comfort.
As the saying goes, a long illness makes a doctor. Although her medical skills are not very good, she can still distinguish the common acupoints. She guessed that the other party was loosening her muscles for her. She was so happy that she picked up the dish and ate it happily.
After dinner, Tang Yi asked Chen Jia to rest earlier, and then went to the study to read some more memorials.
Chen Jia is still living in Yongning Palace with the title of princess bestowed by the late emperor.
The Yongning Palace is just opposite the study room. Turning over on the couch, you can see the scene of the imperial study room opposite with a glance outside.
One wakes up from a doze, and seeing that the light on the opposite side is still on, she rubs her eyes, puts on her cloak, and goes to the small kitchen with a cup of white fungus and lotus seed soup on the warm stove, and picks up a few plates of snacks and puts them in a food box. , holding an orange lantern and walking towards the Imperial Study Room.
"Who?"
Tang Yi's five senses were keen, and he raised his head when he heard the slightest movement, and held the brush in his hand tightly as if it were a hidden weapon.
The servant opened the door, took the lantern and food box from Chen Jia, and immediately put them on the table.
Tang Yi looked at the things on the table, feeling moved and helpless.Chun Wei is too busy with this matter, she is afraid that she will have to stay up all night, so she can't ask Jiajia to stay up together, right?
She patted Chen Jia's forehead, and said a lesson: "Why are you here, why are you still not settled? Go to bed late and be careful not to grow taller."
Chen Jia patted her hand away, and led her to the table, pretending to be apologetic: "I didn't have enough for dinner, and I woke up hungry, so I went to the small kitchen to find something to eat. It's just that I accidentally took too much. If you can't eat it, you can help me solve it, okay?"
Tang Yi glanced at the things on the table, they were neat and tidy, even the mouth of the soup bowl was clean, without any trace of spillage.Where has this been used before? It was clearly made for her.
In fact, she was really not hungry, but she couldn't refuse the other party's kindness, so she just picked up a few crystal lotus root cakes and stuffed them into her mouth, drank a few spoonfuls of soup, and was about to send Chen Jia back.
But Chen Jia finally came out for a while, so it was so convenient.She ordered the maid to put away the things on the table, but she pushed Tang Yi out of the imperial study and walked towards the imperial garden.
She put on the tone of a person who has experienced it, and persuaded: "You can't go on like this, so tired, you will break your body sooner or later."
She groped around for a while, then took out a piece of bamboo as if by magic, and handed it to Tang Yi.
"Didn't you say that you would ask me to practice martial arts after returning to Beijing? But after returning to Beijing for so long, you haven't taught me every move." There was some complaint in the words.
Tang Yi took the bamboo stick and looked at the shiny cat's eyes, and finally understood why the other party was so active today.This is changing the way to 'seize power'.
Forget it, Jiajia is also doing it for her own good, and the political affairs will be dealt with tomorrow, but this body cannot be dragged down.
She moved her muscles and bones, and the joints of her whole body made a "creak, crunch" sound, and there seemed to be soft flesh trembling when her arms were shaking.
Ah, she seems to have a unicorn arm, it's scary!
"Then from tonight, I will accompany you here to practice martial arts for half an hour every day, okay?"
Chen Jia nodded again and again, she didn't really want to learn martial arts, she just hoped that Ah Yi could take this time to relax.
"Then tonight I will play the sword trick again, you have to watch carefully."
Tang Yi withdrew his gaze, his eyes froze, and his figure danced with the moonlight.
In the imperial garden, the silver-white figure was as light as a suckling swallow. Accompanied by the sound of rustling leaves, the man's wrists fluttered, and the bamboo sticks were like white dragons spitting out beads, hissing and breaking the wind, and walking through them like a dragon, agile and free.
Suddenly a silver light flashed across, only a rustling sound was heard, and the green leaves collapsed.
Chen Jia touched his cold neck and took off a broken leaf.
Seeing Tang Yi pointing his sword at the sky with awe-inspiring aura, he was stunned for a while before he could react and applauded hurriedly.
"Aww, Ah Yi, you are so handsome!"
"I adore you so much."
Although he told himself in his heart that he must be humble and not fall into other people's sugar-coated shells, Tang Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
She put away the pose and said with a smile: "This is just the simplest move, it's easy to learn, as long as you practice the sword skillfully, you can be like me."
"I will work hard." Chen Jia said seriously.
She will never forget the fear of being held down by the neck, waiting for the butcher knife to fall and make minced meat.
Chen Jia was weak and had no foundation, so he was sweating profusely and out of breath after a short practice.
Seeing her like this, Tang Yi shook his head secretly, but couldn't bear to tell the truth, he just said, "It's getting late, I've practiced so far today, let's go back and rest first."
Chen Jia glanced at the position of the moon, estimated the time, and nodded in agreement.
After the two separated, they went back to the palace to take a bath, and then rested.
Last night, she didn't notice anything wrong, but in the morning, Chen Jia felt sore and weak all over, especially her arms seemed to be filled with a layer of lead.
A sigh sounded, she is really not suitable for martial arts.
"Why can't you pay it back? The sun is going to burn your ass." A chuckle came from outside the hall.
Hearing Tang Yi's joke, Chen Jia turned over in a hurry and wanted to get up, but unexpectedly pushed too hard and fell off the bed.
The expected pain was not felt, and the next pair of hands supported her firmly.
The man frowned slightly, and reproached, "Why are you so careless?"
Chen Jia cried bitterly, "The neck is sore, the arms are sore, the back is sore, and the legs are sore."
After saying this, Tang Yi understood.
She simply picked him up and sent him back to the bed. Looking at the stretched limbs, she slowly covered her hands and massaged him gently.
She took out a sword manual from her arms and handed it to the other party, "Remember what's on it."
what is this?
Chen Jia opened it casually, and saw a page of illustrations, on which a little man was waving a sword and practicing sword moves, and there was a line of small characters on the side that read "Phoenix single-pointed wings, turn around and cut flat".Turning back again, it is still the sword style, chopping, chopping, picking, pointing, stabbing, each movement has corresponding illustrations and notes.
Bringing the book closer, you can smell the fragrance of ink faintly at the tip of your nose.
She looked up at Tang Yi, saw a slight bruise under the man's eyes, and then thought of the dense annotations on the sword manual, she was a little moved.
Tang Yi saw that Chen Jia practiced martial arts hard last night, so he found the sword manual he practiced when he was a child, recalled the details of his martial arts practice, and wrote down his experience.
After such a toss, I only slept for two hours, and my head was still a little groggy when I woke up. I felt a little tired according to my spirit, and began to doze off.
Suddenly, she was overwhelmed, and a soft body covered her.
The sleepiness dissipated all of a sudden.
"You... what do you want to do?"
"I want to do something that makes you happy." Chen Jia rolled up the quilt to cover the two of them, and smiled maliciously.
"This...isn't this good." Tang Yi refused a little, but quietly kicked off his shoes, hooked his feet around Chen Jia's bare feet, and slowly rubbed them.
Chen Jia felt that the place scratched by those feet became weaker and weaker, like elbows soaked in honey, crispy and soft.
Looking at the person below him again, the eyes that were foggy just now suddenly became much brighter, clear and bright, and the black eyes stared at her, like a whirlpool, which made her sink involuntarily.
Ah Yi, it's not coming for real, is it?
Chen Jia faltered all of a sudden, she was playing tricks on the other party just now, but she didn't know that the other party seemed to take it seriously, this is not acceptable.
So he hurriedly turned his eyes away, buried his head, covered under the brocade quilt, and said in a muffled voice: "I haven't woken up yet, you can sleep with me again."
After finishing speaking, he stopped making a sound, as if he had fallen into a dream.
Tang Yi pulled off the quilt, looked at the swarthy head, kissed the black hair, and then closed his eyes.
Probably because I let go of the things I was thinking about in my heart, once I closed my eyelids, I was really tired.
A long and steady breath came into his ears, and then Chen Jia opened his eyes, like a frightened little rabbit, carefully sizing up the person in front of him.
The hot and humid breath sprayed onto her face, and the rationality remaining in her mind gradually blurred, as if she had been bewitched by someone, and coveted the exposed snow-skinned and icy muscles.
Afraid to startle that person, he avoided the most delicate lips, licked the delicate collarbone, and ate it happily like tasting a pastry.
"Hmm..." The person on the bed groaned, as if waking up.
Chen Jia immediately stopped his movements, not daring to offend any more.
That sound seemed to be made unintentionally, and there was no more movement after that, and Chen Jia's evil heart was born again.
It's just that this time he didn't dare to get so close again, and gave up the delicious collarbone, and locked his new target on the slender and delicate fingers.
As soon as the lips touched, the fingers bent slightly and trembled a little.
Chen Jia was there in shock, unable to advance or retreat, wishing to cover his face and roll out of bed.I was caught stealing a kiss, which is really embarrassing.
Unexpectedly, the crooked finger suddenly opened, clasped her five fingers backhanded, turned around, and she was pressed down.
She was a little surprised, "Didn't you fall asleep?"
"How can I fall asleep with a restless kitten next to me making noise?"
She was about to argue, when she saw her bright red lips pressed down, and she obediently closed her eyes.
……
"I'm almost out of breath."
"Okay, let's take a break first, and continue later."
The wind suddenly picked up, and the veil flew up, cutting off the murmurs in the room.
Outside the window, the spring is bright, bees are flying and butterflies are dancing, and the warmth is harmonious.
***
The empress gave the imperial concubine a three-day drunk, and the carriage walked on the road for three days before the imperial concubine woke up.
The imperial concubine learned that she had been "abducted" out of the capital, although she was annoyed, she just reprimanded the queen on the face, and then began to look forward to the future journey.
She has been trapped in the palace for nearly 20 years, and the scenery she sees is the same every day. Naturally, she looks forward to the outside world, which is one of the reasons why she likes to read travel notes.Although the body cannot be there, the heart can travel all over the world with the words.
"Hans Pineapple's Travel Notes" is the book she has read the most. The content recorded in it is completely inconsistent with that in ordinary books, and it has a strong attraction for her.
Nanqiang is the country closest to the sea, and she has long wanted to go there.This time, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of the wish by accident.
However, she didn't mind the outcome of this incident, but she couldn't condone the fact that the queen drugged her to stun her.Although the imperial concubine said verbally that she didn't care that day, she stopped talking to each other afterwards, and the two fell into a cold war.
When they arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, the team abandoned the carriage and changed boats to go by water.
But it was the first time for the imperial concubine to take a boat, and she was eager to try before boarding the boat, but when she stood on the deck, her face changed drastically.
She seems to be seasick!
As soon as the boat swayed, she felt nauseous and broke out in a cold sweat. The scene in front of her was spinning, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Although the two were still in a cold war, but after seeing the imperial concubine holding the spittoon and spitting out, and the almond eyes glistening with steam, the queen gave in first.
She tried several methods but failed to cure the concubine's symptoms, so she had no choice but to donate the treasure she kept at the bottom of the box.
"What is this?" The imperial concubine saw the queen walking over with that familiar little box.
The queen took out a book from the box, hesitated for a while before handing it to the imperial concubine, turned around and ran away when the other party took it.
"The Secret History of the Golden House, what book is this?"
She had only heard of the Golden House Cangjiao, could this book record Chen Ajiao's secrets in the Golden House?
From the proud daughter of heaven to the deposed empress, this fate has ups and downs, which is really embarrassing.Keeping in mind the history as a mirror, the imperial concubine opened the book and read it.
It's just that the content described in the book is quite different from the stories of her childhood sweethearts that she is familiar with.
There is no Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the book, but there is a mysterious woman in Chufu, who is as enchanting and beautiful as a poppy flower, but with the strongest poison.
Although the story is different, it is still novel. The imperial concubine read it with great interest and became fascinated, and the nausea and vomiting never happened again.
She didn't realize something was wrong until she turned to a page of illustrations.
There is a rockery in the painting, there is a gazebo under the mountain, and there are two women under the colorful flowers, one of them is wearing a light dress, and the other is leaning over, with red lips in her lips.
What kind of strange book is this?
She quickly browsed through the following content again, and found several pages of illustrations like this.Although the scenes and clothes were changed, what the two daughters did became more and more daring.
One of the pages was even more familiar to her. Under the golden Buddha statue, the two women were intertwined. Under the slender and straight jade legs, there was a hidden water stain slowly flowing, soaking the Buddhist scriptures.
This...she suddenly remembered that chaotic night in Xiangguo Temple.
She always thought it was just a dream.
The red cloud burned from her ears to her neck, she hurriedly threw away the book, and leaned against the edge of the window to breathe heavily.
What is the queen sister doing?It is abhorrent to insult her soul with such a 'bad' book.
Concubine Chen Guifei got up and wanted to ask the queen for an explanation, but turned back when she stepped out of the threshold.
If she went to the queen in such a bright way, wouldn't she tell the other party that she read the book?shame!
Thinking of this, she hastily closed the door and even the windows, but she sat down again, picked up the book and read it again.
Well, since reading this book can cure the chronic illness of seasickness, let's bear with it for now.
Well, the skill of this painter is really profound, the person in the painting is vivid and lifelike, the expressions and movements are so lifelike... Wait, what is she thinking.Stop and read carefully!
The empress and the noble concubine seem to have a tacit understanding, each is busy with its own affairs and never disturbs the other, and there is no shadow of it except when eating.
Facing the current situation, the imperial concubine felt at ease and avoided the embarrassment of meeting, but also felt a little lost and wronged, but seeing that the queen did not take the initiative, she nestled in the cabin and read a book.
The boat sailed along the water, traveling thousands of miles a day, and arrived in Nanqiang in just five days.
When they landed, the envoys were busy returning to the palace, but the queen didn't want to enter the palace so soon.She had been imprisoned in the palace for decades, and hated the lifeless palace walls the most, and wanted to see if the king would change, so she parted from the envoy.
The queen took the concubine to the busiest restaurant in the city, called the waiter, ordered some special dishes, and was about to speak when she saw the storyteller on the stage.
There was a thunderous applause from below.
The storyteller arched his hands to all the guests, patted the gavel, and said loudly: "Thank you, masters, for your support. I am very grateful. Last time we talked about the princess who robbed the beauty that the princess brought back from Daqi Kingdom. , the two sisters met each other in battle, this time we will continue to talk..."
The chatter in the restaurant was lively, and a veritable show was also going on in the Tainu's Mansion.
