Drunken Exquisiteness

The spring breeze darkens Yumen Pass, flying sand outside Guan, light willow inside Guan, and wild flowers everywhere.

Clouds of catkins, like the snow in the sky, and the warm breeze, rushing towards the face, around the shoulders, slightly intoxicated.

The sky at this time should be the spring scene of Asakusa without horseshoes and flying flowers flowing by the water. Qing Chen sat idle in the atrium, half leaning in front of the porch, and a fluffy flakes fluttered from his hands up, turning gently, chasing the wind freely.

There are plain bamboo pens scattered on the ebony short case in front of him, and the transparent and moist jade paper presses the paper side lightly, and the breeze is smooth, like a woman's slender jade hand flipping the pages of the paper lightly, taking a peek, and walking away with a smile.

Xue Zhan huddled together beside Qing Chen, sweeping his tail boredly. Xueying didn't know where to go to play, she slid back, jumped, and unexpectedly stepped on the side inkstone where the kingfisher was singing spring, her little paw suddenly turned black. Walking forward, a few small plum blossoms were left on the snow paper. Qing Chen raised his hand and nodded its head. It lifted its claw and pressed a plum blossom on Qing Chen's hand. When it turned around, it slipped away.

Qing Chen couldn't laugh or cry, so he put away the paper. Xue Zhan used to sleep peacefully, but Xue Ying was always spinning around, making it uneasy. She got up and stretched her waist and suddenly raised her ears.

Qing Chen still closed his eyes, and there was a faint sound of horseshoes in his ears. The horse snorted slightly, mixed with a few words of conversation, and the sword armor clashed and collided with the sound of the boots, making birds chirping in surprise. She could imagine someone striding through the courtyard, flying sword eyebrows, jet black eyes, thin lips with a trace of firmness, just matching the chiseled face.

Before a smile came up on his lips, his cold and familiar breath filled the surroundings. Qing Chen opened his eyes slightly, Ye Tianling looked down at her, her starry eyes were deep and her thin lips were smiling.

She got up lazily, and Ye Tianling shook her hand: "It's still cold outside, don't sit for too long." He took off his cloak, put a cover on her, and carried her inside: "Good today. ?"

Qing Chen smiled and said: "Okay, I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

After the city of Kana was broken, the heavenly garrison thought it was a big camp, and at the same time sent cavalry through the vast sea, taking advantage of the situation to send troops to the Western Turks.

Ye Tianling personally led the army this time and defeated the Western Turkic army at Yaoyun Mountain, beheading more than 20,000 enemies and capturing 30,000 people, including the right-sage king of the Western Turks Hersa and the great prince Lille of the Khan. . After the Western Turks were defeated in the first battle of the previous year, the country was weak, and large tracts of land were occupied by the East Turks. At this time, facing a black armored cavalry was like hitting a rock with a pebble.

On the day that Kana City was broken, Shira Khan managed to escape and went into exile in the Western Turks after a desperate death due to Mujasha.

At the beginning, Yu Suo secretly wooed the East and West Turks to establish friendship between the East and the Turks in order to resist the Celestial army. At this time, Yu Subing was defeated and the covenant became a piece of paper. The shooting guard Khan remembered his old grievances, and he was brooding, and immediately sent troops to hunt down Shi Luo and capture him alive.

If the imperial army is approaching today, the Xuanjia army’s remaining power has not disappeared, and a streak of victories has been added. The people of the Western Turkic country are panicked, and all the officials in the imperial court believe that the battle will be defeated, and it is better to seek peace.

The shooting guard Khan also felt that he was desperate, so he had to send messengers to **** Shiluo to meet with King Ling and ask for an end to the battle.

The messenger entered the camp and handed the form up and down, and the night sky was stern and cold, dismissive, if it hadn't been for the two countries to fight, they would have been ruthless. However, Shiluo Khan was not so lucky. He was beheaded and sacrificed in court. The generation of heroes who dominated Mobei for decades, died with hatred.

The Western Turkic envoy was frightened to the ground, and Ye Tianling threw words: "I will give you five days to adjust your arms and prepare for war. It is best to prepare adequately. Don't let this king down!"

The messenger took his life and returned home in a hurry. Shearing Khan heard the reply and sighed to the sky-the Turkic is dead!

Qing Chen entered the room with Ye Tianling, but still felt lazy and weak, so he sat in front of the couch at will. Ye Tianling took off her armor by herself, lying on her back next to her, half-closed her eyes and relaxed.

Qing Chen supported him with his hands and stared at him, only to feel that he seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, he was not like a person who had just returned with a soldier, and his handsome and cheerful eyebrows made him look warm and smiling. With her hair scattered in front of her, she was playful, pulling a strand of hair to itchy him. He didn't seem to notice it, but the moment she stepped forward, he vigorously held her in his arms.

"Oh!" Qing Chen laughed in shock, punched him with a fist, and Ye Tianling smiled and said, "What bad thoughts do you have?"

Qing Chen curled her mouth, and looked for a comfortable posture while resting his arm, Ye Tianling tightened her arm and pulled her closer to herself. Qing Chen said strangely: "What happened today, so in such a good mood?"

Ye Tianling raised the corners of her lips comfortably: "It's nothing. When we come back, we will go deep into Yaoyun Mountain with the wind of Wan Tuo, and we will gallop along the grass, very happy. Yaoyun Mountain is connected to Kunlun to the west, with continuous mountains and lakes, clouds and mist, and the scenery is strange. I heard that it has been traveling westward, and there are lakes frozen for thousands of miles that will not freeze for many years. It is ethereal like a fairyland. It is called holy lake by the Rouran people. It turns out that the mother concubine often wandered in the mountains when she was unmarried. When I come back, I will give it to my mother and concubine, she might like it."

Qing Chen said: "You should go to the holy lake to hold another pot of water. If there is mountains and water, it will be all."

Ye Tianling shook his head: "I didn't go to the holy lake, we will go again when your body is convenient. Qing'er, the sky is high and the earth is wide, let me smile, then I want you to be with me."

Qing Chen said softly: "Okay, go to Qiongbi and go to Huangquan, just follow you."

Ye Tianling smiled and said, "The beauty of the world is endless, enough for you and me to ride horses and boats, Huangquan doesn't need it."

Qing Chen looked up at the top of the tent, smiled, and hummed: "You and I promised a hundred years, if anyone die at the age of ninety-seven, how can they wait on the bridge for three years..." The low, soft voice, graceful tone, such as In the fresh south of the Yangtze River with grass, a pear blossom with spring rain, small bridges and flowing water, Yingyanfangfei.

Ye Tianling listened, turned his head and stared at her with a smile and asked, "I didn't mean that I will follow me when I go to Qiongbi and Huangquan. Why do I have to wait?"

Qing Chen said: "How did you know that you were waiting for me, if I was waiting for you?"

Ye Tianling frowned slightly and said, "I don't like to hear that."

Qing Chen said: "Then I won't follow what you said."

Ye Tianling pretended to be solemn, and his face sank: "It's stubborn and you can't teach it!"

Qing Chen made a face: "The talk is broken!"

The two people looked at each other, and suddenly laughed at the same time. Qing Chen leaned over Ye Tianling and had enough trouble, the two stopped laughing, and the surroundings seemed to gradually become extremely quiet.

Luo Ting was like smoke, surrounded by beauty, Qing Chen only felt that Ye Tianling's eyes were so clear, like the sky full of stars reflecting the clear lake, he smiled faintly, there was a wave of waves in the smile, Ren Ye Ruthless and touching.

Unexpectedly, feeling his heart beating so fast, she moved a little, and suddenly a peachy color appeared on her face.

Ye Tianling whispered in a dumb voice: "Didn't you say that after three months, it won't get in the way?"

Qing Chen nodded lightly: "You lightly, don't hurt the child."

Ye Tianling caressed her lower abdomen carefully and leaned over to look at her. The concentration and deep desire to turn people into it, the real heat stirred up the warm currents in people's hearts, making people nowhere to escape .

A strand of black hair lingers around Qing Chen's ears, with snow-skinned flowers, bright and moving. Ye Tianling stared at her face for a while, leaned over and kissed her soft lips, but heard the voice of Wei Changzheng outside: "Your Highness!"

Ye Tianling was startled, helplessly propped up, Qing Chen raised her eyebrows to look at him, and couldn't help smiling while covering her lips.

Ye Tianling glared at her and cleared her voice: "What's the matter?"

Wei Changzheng replied: "Mrs. Bai and the others have arrived at the camp."

"Oh," Ye Tianling said, "I see, let them come to see the princess."

Wei Changzheng went away, and Qing Chen said in surprise: "Mrs. Bai?"

Ye Tianling smiled and said, "Go, take a look."

The two walked out of the inner room. Madam Bai, Baguio and a few younger maids were already waiting outside, and they came forward to greet them.

When Baguio saw Qing Chen, he quickly stepped forward and shouted "Princess Lord", his face was full of joy, and Mrs. White also laughed from ear to ear. Qing Chen said to Ye Tianling: "You took Madam Bai and them all without telling me in advance."

Ye Tianling smiled and said: "It was the emperor's grandmother who got the good news and was anxious. She planned to send you back to Tiandu first, but she was worried along the way. Mrs. Bai is an old man in the palace, and she is safe to take care of. People who are used to you, it is easier to have them by your side."

Mrs. Bai looked at Qing Chen in a white-cloud brocade robe, and she was covered in a water-blue turquoise dress, her eyebrows were calm, and she smiled quietly. Although her body for more than three months is still not obvious, she looks better than others. I was a little plump when I was in Tiandu, the flirtatious charm of my eyes is more like apricot blossoms, pink lotus blooming, very touching, and asked with a smile: "How well is the princess? The queen mother is not at ease. I specifically asked two experienced female officials in the palace to come together and see the princess after a while."

Qing Chen smiled and said, "This is really annoying."

Baguio ordered the maids to bring in the things they had brought in, and turned back: "The queen mother, the emperor, and the empress's empress have a reward from the palace. Ah, yes," she took out something from her arms and gave it to Qing Chen. "This is from the imperial concubine who asked Hades to send it."

Qing Chen reached out and took it, somewhat curious. Opening the peony-colored light silk, there is a peaceful talisman in the heart of the hand. It seems that the color is a bit old. The ordinary satin surface, the plain weave moire, and the tapes with a wishful knot can be seen in ordinary Buddhist temples.

Madam Bai was watching and suddenly said, "Is this... the one that your Highness wore when he was a child?"

Ye Tianling frowned, a little confused: "What?"

Madam Bai smiled and said, "It looks like, but your Highness seems to have lost it at the beginning, so I'm not sure."

Qing Chenfeng's eyes were light, teasing him: "So lost?"

Ye Tianling smiled softly, a little sad in his smile. If it weren't for Mrs. Bai to mention it, he really didn't want to remember this peace symbol.

It was the birthday of ten years old. According to the custom of the heavenly family, the princes always give a banquet on their birthdays in the palace of the mother and concubine. However, the year-round desolation of the lotus pond palace has not been changed by the growth of the four princes. As a mother, the lotus concubine, like the cold icy color of the autumn water in the Yaochi, keeps away thousands of miles away day after day, year after year. .

Therefore, as in previous years, the gift banquet was held in Yanxi Palace. Because of the empress dowager's favor, the banquet was lively and lively, and Ye Tianling was also quite happy until the people from Lianchi Palace gave this peace symbol.

The red lacquer gilded disc, with a dark background supporting such a lucky charm. The maid came forward and took it to the front. I don’t know who was nearby and whispered: “Ordinary Buddhist temples are everywhere. People with a little bit of face outside the palace don’t ask for such auspicious signs. Empress Lian is careless enough. ."

But there are even more people who say: "In previous years there was no such thing, this year is strange."

A few very light gossips were heard in Ye Tianling's ears. The young and arrogant he couldn't restrain the arrogance in his heart. Just after the banquet, he rushed to the Lotus Pond Palace alone.

"Chuang" was said because the maid of Concubine Lian passed the word "not seen". He became even more annoyed when he heard it, and stepped inside. Behind the misty veil, his majestic Sixth Palace's mother concubine turned half sideways. He couldn't see the expression on her face. The dull face was distant and unfamiliar, as if it was separated by thousands of mountains.

The green lotus-wrapped incense pot, the misty light smoke, curled and twisted.

For some reason, at that moment, the impulsive anger suddenly ceased, and replaced by the desolation of his heart. He stood for a moment in the empty hall, put down the peace talisman, and left without looking back.

The moment she turned around, Concubine Lian stared at each other in the veil. He didn't understand the emotions in the calm and indifferent eyes, and she had been confused in her heart for many years.

That was the only time in the memory that he stepped into the Lotus Pond Palace. In the autumn, he followed Emperor Yan Zhao's first journey through the battlefield. Since then, he has been fighting repeatedly, and that is why he went to Tiandu to stay more.

Qing Chen picked up this peace talisman, only to feel that it was heavy, and it seemed a little different. She looked carefully and found that this lucky charm was actually a small bag, and when she turned it upside down, she had another lucky charm falling out of it.

The silver thread woven bottom, exquisite craftsmanship, different from ordinary craftsmanship, two small Hetian jade pendants, carved into exquisite double locks tied to the soft silk ribbon, it seems to have been stroked countless times to present a smooth and elegant luster . The half-inch square auspicious symbols were embroidered in small characters with pure gold thread on both sides. They were not Chinese characters. She didn't understand, so she looked up at Ye Tianling.

Ye Tianling stretched out his hand to take it, and when he saw it, his heart was shaken. That is Rouran's text, embroidered with "Xileankang" on the front, and his birthday is on the back. One stitch and one thread, the threads are inserted into the buckle, with the traces of the years, deep and complicated. His heart surged for a while, and it was difficult to control himself. He held the peace talisman in his palm and slightly raised his head to avoid Qing Chen's inquiring gaze.

How could the lonely and arrogant teenager guess the mother's heart? He didn't even have the patience to discover the deep blessing.

But now, he is willing to use the vast land of Mobei and the flourishing mother of Jiangshanbo from the sky to smile, and hope that from now on, he will be kind and happy.

After a long time, Ye Tianling's emotions calmed down a bit, he lowered his eyes, reached out his hand to fetch Qing Chen's long hair scattered on his shoulders, and put the peace talisman around her neck.

Qing Chen said: "Is it for the child?"

Ye Tianling nodded: "Yeah."

"Then why do you wear it on me?"

Ye Tianling smiled slowly: "Mother gave it to the child."

Qing Chen was confused and asked again later, seeing Wei Changzheng coming in from outside, as if something was going on, so he put aside the topic for now.

Madam Bai and Baguio knew that there must be something to discuss, and they both quit. Wei Changzheng stepped forward and replied: "His Royal Highness, a few days ago, Chang Ding Hou wrote to impeach Shao Xiubing, and then Qin Guogong shook out many evidences that the generals in the army were involved in the private salt trade. The DPRK had an order to remove Zhong Dingfang, Shao Xiubing, and Feng Changjun. The three men were immediately escorted back to Beijing for trial."

"Oh? So fast?" Ye Tianling raised his eyebrows slightly, "what did you say over there?"

Wei Changzheng said: "His Royal Highness Zhan did not give any orders, only dispatched other people to supervise the transportation of grain and grass. However, people who heard back said that Gong Sicheng had previously pleaded with King Zhan to try to save the three of them, but he did not agree."

Qing Chen sat back and smiled coldly. Gong Sicheng was wise for a lifetime, and he was confused for a while. He made a lot of mistakes, and he was wrong in making claims. Ye Tianzhan is gentle and elegant, but it does not mean that he can be at the mercy of others. In certain times of need, his unfeeling and ruthlessness may not be inferior to Ye Tianling. The three of Shao Xiubing and others were determined to be unable to keep their plans, and Gong Sicheng had a slight vision, and he must have seen the way forward.

Ye Tianling nodded, and asked Wei Changzheng, "How much food and grass have you got?"

Wei Changzheng said: "The first batch has passed Jizhou, and will probably arrive the next day at the latest. His Royal Highness has successively summoned the inspectors of the prefectures and personally supervised them. I think it will not delay the dispatch of troops to the Turks in five days."

Ye Tianling said lightly: "Very good."

At this time, there was some noise from far away, and Ye Tianling raised his eyes, his eyebrows tightened slightly. Wei Changzheng turned around, called the guard on duty to ask, and returned: "His Royal Highness, the guards are competing with Mujasha. Speaking of Mujasha's injury, he has healed. Please show me how to deal with it."

Ye Tianling pondered for a moment: "Bring him here to see me." After talking, he looked at Qing Chen and said, "Go to camp."

Qing Chen smiled slightly: "Everyone is saved, are you still afraid that I will be upset? Bring him over."

Ye Tianling raised the corner of his lips and signaled to Wei Changzheng, but for a moment, Wei Changzheng brought Mujiansha in.

After Mu Chinsha entered, he did not bow down or bow, and stood with his head held high, looking at Ye Tianling. Ye Tianling only raised his eyes calmly. After a while, Mu Jiansha was a little unbearable, frowned and turned his head, unexpectedly seeing Qing Chen sitting not far away.

A pair of clear eyes looked at him quietly. He stunned, opened his mouth, and suddenly said in blunt Chinese: "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life that day!"

Qing Chen flicked her eyebrows, looked over indifferently, just smiled, and said nothing.

Muzhisha bowed respectfully, and said loudly to Ye Tianling: "I have served your martial arts, and your princess has saved my life, but you want me to return to the heavens, but I refuse , If you want to kill or slash, you have to be happy!"

Ye Tian Ling Jun's eyebrows raised lightly, with a smile but a smile: "If you are killed, it would be a pity."

Mu Chi Sha said: "What do you want?"

Ye Tianling said, "I really want to know, why do you refuse to return to the heaven?"

Mujisha said with a cold face: "You want me to fight for you and kill the Turks. I naturally refuse."

Ye Tianling said: "When did I say that I wanted you to go to battle, if you can fight this battle, the result of the Turks will be the same."

Mu Chi Sha said: "If you don't fight, what do you do?"

Ye Tianling said: "I have always been a few deputy commanders in my guards. Are you interested in trying?"

Mu Chisha couldn't help but his eyes widened, and for a long time he asked: "You...you dare to use me as the deputy commander of the guards?"

Ye Tianling said lightly: "Why don't you dare?"

Mu Chi Sha said: "Aren't you afraid that I will assassinate you?"

Ye Tianling said, "Since I use you, I don't think about it."

Mu Zhisha hadn't answered yet, Wei Changzheng stepped forward and hurriedly persuaded: "His Royal Highness..."

Ye Tianling raised his eyes and swept away, but he didn't say anything. The Royal Guards have always been responsible for the safety of King Ling and the princess. They have great responsibilities and are inconvenient for those who are not extremely credible. Mu Zhisha, as an enemy general, once had the intention of assassination, the consequences would be disastrous. Wei Changzheng looked at Qing Chen anxiously, asking her to dissuade Ye Tianling, Qing Chen smiled, shook his head slightly, and signaled that he would be safe.

Muzhisha is a well-known general, and if he wants to use it, he can only recruit in this way. Since he cherishes this talent, how can she obstruct it?

If he wants to save, she will save; if he wants to take risks, she will take risks with him.

Finally, after Mu Chisha was silent for a long time, he said: "I now know why Khan was defeated in your hands."

Ye Tianling smiled proudly, his gaze had already seen him clearly: "I will give you three days to think about it. After three days, you go and stay free."

Mu Zhisha asked, "You won't kill me?"

Ye Tianling said: "I have no habit of killing indiscriminately."

After Mu Chisha meditated, he raised his head and said: "I have drunk blood and wine with Khan, life and death are only loyal to Khan. Although I admire you, you are the enemy of Khan and Turk. You don’t kill me today. In the future, I will not be able to seek revenge from you, but I will never surrender to you! You are repenting to kill me now, and I still say this!"

Ye Tianling laughed loudly and said: "A good man! Am Ye Tianling me an unbelieving person? Long March, give him horses, send him out of the camp, no one should be embarrassed."

Wei Changzheng breathed a sigh of relief and responded loudly. When Mu Chinsha retired, he walked a few steps, suddenly turned around and stroked his chest, gave Ye Tianling a very noble Turkic gift before leaving.

Wei Changzheng walked to the atrium, and a guard hurried forward with a person in front of him: "Leader Wei, an urgent report from Tiandu!"

When Wei Changzheng saw that it was an urgent report, he didn't dare to neglect, and when he saw that the dress of the messenger was actually from the palace, they greeted each other and immediately informed them.

The messenger came in and delivered an urgent report. Qing Chen was vaguely disturbed when he saw the white book that was used urgently for 800 miles, but when he saw Ye Tianling open it, his expression changed suddenly and he stood up suddenly.

It is rare for him to be so gaffe, Qing Chen was really taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Fourth brother?"

The snow-like thin paper slipped from Ye Tianling's hands, and she lowered her head to see only four words-Lian Guifei.
