Chapter Thirty-Four: Honoring Me and Me
Yang Yuanqing inspected the last stop of Dingxiang County, all the way south, and finally returned to Taiyuan on the night of the fifth day of the first lunar month, he set out from the 21st of the lunar month to inspect the military situation, walked outside for nearly half a month, and was really a little tired.
Despite this, he was still very concerned about the situation in the south, and Xu Shiji's success in capturing Liyang City was expected by him, and with Xu Shiji's wit and talent, if he couldn't even take a Liyang City, it would be a disappointment for him.
There is also Luoyang, he has already ordered the grain to be transported across the Yellow River, then Wang Shichong should have the capital to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, Luoyang's contradictions have reached a touching situation, according to the evolution of the current situation, Luoyang should have mutiny at this time, he is very concerned about Wang Shichong's line, whether to directly ascend the throne, or in accordance with the inertia of history in the continuation.
Today Yang Yuanqing did not go to Jinyang Palace, but stayed in the house to rest, he sat in the inner study, the curtains were not opened, the light in the room seemed a little dim, the incense burner in the corner of the room floated a thin curling smoke, so that there was a faint sandalwood in the room, this is a fragrance he likes very much, this fragrance can make Yang Yuanqing's mind extremely sharp.
In the other side of the room there is a brazier, the charcoal fire is burning, from time to time bursting a string of sparks, in this warm and quiet room, Yang Yuanqing is comfortably lying on a soft rattan weaving semi-standing rattan couch, this is his own invention of the semi-standing couch, the shape is very similar to the later generations of Taishi chair, covered with thick mattress cushions. Extremely comfortable.
He was still thinking about the situation in Luoyang at this time, judging from Wang Shichong's quest for his support against the Tang Dynasty, this person still had a little political acumen, and he should be able to stabilize the political situation, and take advantage of the opportunity of Li Mi being dragged by Yu Wenhua and Pengcheng County to quickly expand his territory and obtain population and food resources. If he rushes to the throne, it will destabilize the situation and deprive him of his most precious opportunity.
From the interests of Yang Yuanqing. He hoped that Wang Shichong would slow down and not be in such a hurry to ascend the throne, so what Wang Shichong did could only be regarded as a coup. Instead of usurping the throne, the 100,000 grains he lent were also to help the victims of Luoyang, rather than helping Wang Shichong to rebel, Yang Yuanqing was very cautious in the handling of Luoyang's affairs, which would have a great impact on his reputation.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and someone knocked on the door, "Yuanqing!" β
This is Jiang Peihua's voice, Yang Yuanqing's inner study is generally not allowed to come in. Only the princess Pei Minqiu and the side concubines Zhang Chuchen and Jiang Peihua could enter, and he answered lazily, "Come in and talk." β
The door opened, and Jiang Peihua walked in briskly with a bowl of hot ginseng tea, and she saw that the room was very dim. The curtain didn't open, and I couldn't help frowning slightly, "There is a charcoal fire and an incense burner, and the curtain doesn't open, don't you feel depressed?" β
"I made a birdcage. It's up to you to see which bird flies in first. Yang Yuanqing still smiled lazily.
"What birdcage, do you think of yourself as a bird?"
Jiang Peihua pursed her lips and smiled, and put the ginseng tea bowl on the table, "Drink it while it's hot!" Take care of your body. β
Before she finished speaking, her hand was grabbed by Yang Yuanqing, and with a slight drag, Jiang Peihua was unstable on her footing, and fell on Yang Yuanqing at once.
"Don't mess around, get me up!"
Jiang Peihua struggled to get up, but Yang Yuanqing hugged her slender waist, looking at her with a smile, Jiang Peihua suddenly felt the changes in his body, and his pretty face turned red, Jiang Peihua was dignified and beautiful, introverted and reserved, although she was also eager to get her husband's warmth, but this was daytime, and it was a study, she was ashamed in her heart, and said coquettishly: "You stinky boy, let you recuperate well, but you have these dirty thoughts." β
In the dim light, Yang Yuanqing saw her pink cheeks, apricot eyes with spring, and her bright lips were delicate, and he didn't feel that his heart was hot, so he lowered his head and kissed her red lips, hugging her tighter.
Jiang Peihua was held in her husband's arms, and was so enchanted by him that she was panting and broke free from his wolf kiss, pillowing her pink face on his chest, and her heart was pounding like a deer.
"Yuanqing, let's talk!" Although she was very willing in her heart, the thought that it was daytime, and the reserved nature of women made her unwilling to give in easily.
"Say what?" Yang Yuanqing sniffed the fragrance on her head and asked casually.
"You let me get up first, it's uncomfortable for me to lie on my stomach like this."
Yang Yuanqing's hand loosened slightly, Jiang Peihua immediately sat up, but he grabbed his waist and still sat in his arms, Jiang Peihua knew that he refused to let himself go, and he was helpless, so he whispered: "I had a weird dream last night." β
"What did you dream about?" Yang Yuanqing's hand reached into her skirt and gently stroked her smooth and delicate psoas muscles.
"I dreamed of a fairy in a feather robe, holding a milk gourd for me to suck, she said I want to have a child, I opened it and sucked a milk gourd, but the fairy disappeared, Yuanqing, this dream is very grotesque, do you think I really want to have a child?"
Jiang Peihua simply fell into her arms again, looking at him hazy with apricot eyes, and there was an indescribable resentment and expectation in her beautiful eyes.
Yang Yuanqing knew her thoughts, she was the same age as herself, but she had no children under her knees, this was her biggest heart disease, he was extremely fond of Jiang Peihua in his heart at this time, so he gently took off her coat, hugged her tightly, kissed her pink lips, and whispered beside her round and delicate earlobes, "This is God's arrangement, arrange for you to have a child today, don't let down the will of God." β
"But..... Wait for the evening! All right? β
Yang Yuanqing turned over and pressed her under him, and shook his head with a smile, "No! I just want it now. β
Jiang Peihua's heart was melted by Yang Yuanqing's fiery gaze, and she sighed lowly, "Hey! You're really my enemy......"
Yang Yuanqing's heart arrived, and the spring in the study was suddenly infinite, and the two of them were happy, and they loved each other to the extreme......
Half an hour later, Jiang Peihua quietly came out of Yang Yuanqing's inner study, saw that there was no one left and right, quickly walked up a long corridor, and walked briskly through a small door to her courtyard, her dress neat. I can't see anything abnormal, but my hair is a little messy, and the average man doesn't notice these subtle changes, but he can't escape a woman's eyes.
Jiang Peihua didn't dare to go back to the courtyard through the main gate, for fear of being discovered by Minqiu and Chuchen, so she could only sneak back to her yard through the side door and comb her hair again.
Jiang Peihua returned to his yard in a panic. She was just about to enter the room, but someone called her from behind, "Second sister! β
Jiang Peihua turned around. saw that it was the little sister Yang Fangxin, "Is there something wrong?" Although Jiang Peihua likes this sister very much, he doesn't want her to appear at this time.
Yang Fangxin and Jiang Peihua live together. She has gradually become accustomed to this peaceful life in Taiyuan, reading, painting, feeding fish, or chatting with Yang Bing, going to the suburbs together, life is peaceful and tranquil, she just finished writing today, and was about to go for a walk in the back garden, just saw Jiang Peihua come back in a panic, she felt strange in her heart. He followed her.
Yang Fangxin stepped forward and glanced at Jiang Peihua, feeling more and more strange in her heart, "Second sister, what are you doing in such a panic?" β
Jiang Peihua's face turned red, and he said weakly: "Nonsense." Where am I panicking? β
"Lie to me!"
Yang Fangxin's red mouth pursed and said, "You don't usually walk like this, you walk like this." β
Yang Fangxin learned Jiang Peihua's elegant posture and walked slowly in front of the flower bed, with a slight waist swing, "It's like this, calm and elegant." Beauty admires flowers, but today you are panicked, like a duck. β
Yang Fangxin walked a few steps briskly like a duck again, and she couldn't help laughing, a pretty face stepped forward, and asked with a salivating smile: "What did the second sister do today?" So panicked back. β
Jiang Peihua's face turned even redder, and she pushed her away, "Go!" Go! Go! Don't mess around, I didn't do anything! β
At this time, Jiang Peihua's personal maid stepped forward and saluted, "Madame is back." β
"Hmmm! You comb my hair, it's blown by the wind. β
Jiang Peihua walked back to the room, but Yang Fangxin followed, "Second sister, is it so windy outside?" Blowing your hair like this? β
She picked up a hosta from the ground and pretended to be surprised: "Oops! What kind of wind is this! actually blew off the hostas. β
Jiang Peihua sat on the embroidery pier and asked the maid to comb her hair, she snatched the hairpin from Yang Fangxin's hand, and said helplessly: "My little aunt, can you go back to your own room, don't bother me." β
Yang Fangxin smiled and asked: "Then tell me, why did you mess up your hair, and come back in such a panic, you said I'll leave." β
"Hey! I can't help you, okay! Let me tell you, I was walking in the back garden, I accidentally fell, my hair was hooked by bush branches, I was very embarrassed, and I was afraid that people would see the joke, so I ran back in a panic, and I am satisfied! β
"So that's what happened!"
Yang Fangxin looked at her suspiciously, "But your dress is very clean, it doesn't look like you fell." β
Jiang Peihua was already driven crazy by her curiosity, "Did I fall on the grass, when did you see me walking on the dirt?" β
Yang Fangxin nodded, she believed it, but she complained a little, "The second sister didn't call me when she went for a walk in the garden, I just wanted to go!" If I had been here, I would have been able to hold you. β
Jiang Peihua breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart and said with a smile: "Next time!" I'll call you next time. β
At this time, a maid walked into the courtyard, holding a phoenix golden hairpin in her hand, and said loudly: "Third lady, the master asked me to send this phoenix golden hairpin, saying that the lady forgot it." β
The room fell silent for a moment, and suddenly 'Goo! With a sound, Yang Fangxin covered her mouth and laughed, she turned around and ran, smiling and shouting: "I know, I understand!" β
Jiang Peihua secretly hated Yang Yuanqing in her heart for being troublesome, what hairpin did she send over at this time, she hurriedly called Yang Fangxin: "Fangxin, what do you understand?" β
Yang Fangxin stopped, turned around and blinked, and smiled slyly: "I now know why you didn't ask me to go to the garden with me, because you were with another person, didn't you?" β
Jiang Peihua's heart was relieved, and he scolded with a smile: "You little ghost elf, remember, you are not allowed to go out and talk nonsense!" β
"I won't talk too much about this kind of thing!"
Yang Fangxin stretched out two fingers and compared, and a smile bloomed on her pretty face, "You two must be hiding behind a tree.... That's why your hair is messed up. β
She covered her smile and ran away.
