Blush and Jealous

Summer came especially early this year. It rained so much in early spring that it was already unbearably hot during Mengxia season.

Zhao Yuan was most afraid of heat. After summer, the heat caused him to suffer from heat poisoning. Although the Taiyuan Hospital gave him a prescription, seeing that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Cao Dingzhen decided to accompany him to the palace in Jiucheng Mountain to escape the heat.

Yan Qing stayed in Beijing. She was afraid of the cold, but the heat was fine. But in midsummer, it was moved to the Hanliang Hall in Xiyuan.

The Hanliang Hall was originally built on the edge of the wild goose pond. At dusk, the wind blows from the lake and the summer heat subsides. Moreover, a water hall is also built, which can divert water to the eaves and then splash down along the four corners. Like a water curtain.

Although Xiyuan is also in the forbidden area and is known as Xinei, it is far away from the Meridian Gate and the three main halls of the outer dynasty.

As soon as Cao Dingzhen left, Yan Qing moved to Xi Nei again, and no longer discussed matters in Wende Hall. The cabinet votes and the approval of the Supervisor of Ceremonies were directly sent to Xi Nei for Yan Qing to see. There were some things that Yan Qing felt were inappropriate. As a result, Jiang Weiren and Zhang Fang were summoned to Hanliang Hall for a duel.

This year is still not peaceful. Several state capitals in the east are suffering from drought. Because of this, Yan Qing sometimes calls Zhang Fang several times a day.

Zhang Fang was so worried that he had to send someone to invite the Chief Assistant every time. For this reason, Jiang Weiren stayed in the duty room of Wenyuan Pavilion for days and never returned to Jiang Mansion.

Ever since they were drunk by Jiang Weiren in Hushan at the end of the New Year, the clan members of Boyang Hou have been thinking about finding an opportunity to have another drink with him. They have repeatedly discussed how to arrange their troops in such and such a way when the time comes. Usually, people vow to avenge their past embarrassment.

As a result, something happened to Jianghuai not long after returning to Beijing. Jiang Weiren hurried away and did not come back for more than a month. After returning, he recuperated from his injuries. When his injuries were almost healed, he was too busy to see anyone.

Marquis Boyang always had amazing perseverance when it came to eating, drinking and having fun. He would go to Jiang Mansion to block people in person every now and then. Finally, he was blocked once. He held his hand and refused to let go, almost to the point of bursting into tears. Jiang Weiren was also infected by his persistence and promised to attend the banquet.

Although Jiang Weiren agreed, Boyang Hou thought about it and felt that the master's house was too deserted after all. It was fine that he did not remarry the main wife. He didn't even have a maid in these years, so he only focused on state affairs. , so that now there is no offspring.

Queen Mother Shengyi said in Yaohua Palace that she would be considerate of Mr. Jiang and marry him a second wife. Several clan members heard this, but who would have thought that after so long, there would be no movement. Boyang Hou carefully selected two beautiful maids and sent them to Jiang Weiren's house when he was away, thinking of giving him a surprise.

By the time Jiang Weiren found out, the two maids had been living in the house for several days.

He originally asked the housekeeper to send the person back, but the housekeeper advised him: "Sir, if Boyang Hou just sent it, it would be fine if you politely sent it back.

" But now those two girls have been living in our house for a few years . Today, those who know know that you have been in Wenyuan Pavilion these days and have never returned home, but those who don't know think that these two girls have already served you.

"I don't know how to arrange it when I send someone back now. Not only will it damage your reputation, but the two girls will not be able to stand up when they go back."

What the housekeeper said was not unreasonable. Jiang Weiren thought about it and said: " Then keep it, just don't arrange to come to my place. In the future, when Shiying comes back from Taihua Peak, she will be her maid."

Boyang Hou thought that the person he chose was in line with his wishes, and he was very proud. On the appointed day, he specially asked the kitchen to stew a tonic soup with soft-shell turtle, deer whip and other ingredients, thinking that he would give Jiang Weiren a good tonic. Several clan members also said that he was the one who thought carefully.

"Master Jiang works so hard all day long, especially when there is a drought in the east recently. He works too hard, and it is inevitable that there will be times when he is physically weak. I specially asked them to make it like a vegetarian soup, so that Master Jiang would not know that we gave him this aphrodisiac. "Bu Tang, we are questioning his ability, and we can't save his face."

Boyang Hou thoughtfully asked the people present, "Don't let it slip when the time comes!"

"That's natural!" The kisser replied repeatedly.

When Jiang Weiren arrived at the Boyang Hou Mansion, several clan members were eager to test his drinking capacity. Jiang Weiren would not be afraid if he really drank, but they thought that if they drank these people to death again, they would be so competitive. , next time they have to come to find themselves, why not pretend to be drunk and send them away.

Marquis Boyang saw that he looked slightly drunk, and thought that he had worked too hard these days, and his drinking capacity had dropped significantly, so he asked his servants to serve the tonic soup, "Sir, don't just drink. Drink more." Have some vegetarian soup."

Several clan members also agreed. Jiang Weiren was persuaded to drink several cups without doubting his presence.

Everyone was drinking happily, but unexpectedly, servants from outside came in to report that the father-in-law of the Supervisor of Ceremonies had gone to Jiang Mansion to deliver a message. Queen Mother Shengyi summoned the Chief Assistant to Xi Nei to report the matter. Seeing that Mr. Jiang was not at the house, he came over. here.

Now that the call was being called, it seemed that there were new developments in the disaster situation in the east. How dare several clan members delay him? Jiang Weiren said goodbye and rushed directly to Xinei.

On the way, the eunuch who came to deliver the message told him that an urgent delivery was coming from the east.

By this time, the sky had darkened, and when Jiang Weiren arrived at Hanliang Hall, Zhang Fang was already inside.

As expected, the emergency delivery was about a disaster. The rain didn't fall, the disaster spread, and the disaster relief money allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs was no longer enough.

The most urgent task now is to allocate more money for disaster relief. The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of the cabinet. Naturally, Jiang Weiren is asked to come and report to the Queen Mother Shengyi. Fortunately, he just pretended to be drunk in Boyang Hou Mansion, and now he is not thinking If you are confused, explain your response one by one.

"Early tomorrow morning, I will ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to prepare for disaster relief." He finally said.

Yan Qing nodded and said: "There is one more thing. This time we not only need to transfer the money, but also send Zan Shi down again, otherwise it will be like Jiang Huai, who will be embezzled step by step by those below."

After saying that, he looked again . Zhang Fang handed him the urgent matter. Although Empress Dowager Ciyi and Your Majesty went to Jiucheng Palace, the Chief of Ceremonies would still send someone to quickly deliver the important news to the Li Palace.

Zhang Fang hurried back to the Supervisor of Ceremonies to arrange for people to leave the palace. Yan Qing turned around and saw Jiang Weiren still standing.

"Sir, you can go back home," she stopped looking at him and said lightly, "I heard that your husband has added two beautiful maids to his house today. Sir, please don't neglect the beauties."

Jiang Weiren did not let go of the matter of the two maids. In my heart, after listening to Yan Qing's words, I frowned slightly, but I didn't rush to explain. I just said: "I don't know, the queen mother, Boyang Marquis is looking for me to drink again. If I leave the palace now, I will definitely be blocked by them again." Stay and take him back to the Marquis Mansion. They will not let him go until he is drunk.

"But I have to go to the Ministry of Revenue to arrange disaster relief tomorrow morning. I can only boldly ask the Queen Mother to let Chen take shelter in the palace until later. Leave the palace again. "

He spoke seriously, and mentioned a high-sounding reason like disaster relief. Yan Qing looked at him, his face turned slightly red, and he looked like he was indeed tipsy. Thinking of the virtues of Boyang Hou's group of people, Then he told Fuying, "Go bring some herbal tea. "

Although there was an ice tray in the hall, it was still a little hot. Seeing that Jiang Weiren's face was not only red, but also a little sweaty on his forehead, Yan Qing asked him to follow him to the water hall at the back. The

water hall at this moment It is the coolest time here, and the cool breeze blows from the wild goose pond. After a while, the night falls, the moonlight shines on the lake, and the water curtains fly down from the four corners of the water palace, and the clear sound of running water can be heard in the ears.

The herbal tea was brought early, and Jiang Weiren also drank a cup, but the heat in his body not only did not go down, but became even more unbearable.

Yan Qing also noticed it, but thought he was drunk, as the blush on his face became more and more obvious. She dismissed the palace people around her again, and now they were the only two in the water palace. She stood up and walked to his side, fanning him with a round fan.

This was nothing at first, Jiang Weiren only felt hot. Now she stood beside her, and the wind fanned all the light fragrance on her body. If it was just hot, it would be nothing, but when she smelled the The smell was so terrible that Jiang Weiren felt like his nose was about to bleed.

Yan Qing fanned for a long time, thinking that the redness on his face would go away, but he saw that the blush on his face became even more abnormal.

It looked like he was not only having a fever, but also holding back the discomfort. She suddenly thought that it had become hot not long after he returned to Beijing, and such a hot day was the worst for the wound. When she looked at the wound on his waist that day, she only saw the white silk wrapped in layers. She didn't know what the wound was like. He looked so uncomfortable, maybe because the wound had been repeated.

Jiang Weiren didn't know what she was thinking. He just felt that the closer she got, the more uncomfortable he felt. He was also afraid that her hands would get sore from shaking the fan, so he held her wrist and said, "Stop fanning, I'm fine..."

The palm of his hand It was shockingly hot, and his words were a little weak. Yan Qing was more determined in his thoughts. When he heard him say it was okay, he thought he was just worried about himself.

There was a deck chair on the side of the water palace facing the lake. Yan Qing took a look at it and pulled Jiang Weiren over, insisting that he lie down.

Jiang Weiren looked at her confused and said, "It's okay, I'm not hot anymore." However,

Yan Qing pushed him to lie down, and then reached out to untie his belt. There was a "boom" in Jiang Weiren's mind, and he felt all the heat rush into his mind, and he held her hand with the last reminder of his sanity.

However, Yan Qing only thought that he was afraid that she would see the wound, which made her heart hurt even more. She whispered: "Don't be brave. You always say that your injury is healed. You must be tricking me."

Her face also glowed with heat. , but even thinking of spending the whole night with him, she gave up and waved his hand away, pushed him down on the bed, and untied his clothes in a few clicks.

He really wasn't lying. New flesh had grown on the wound on his waist, but the color was still light, but the wound had healed. She touched it gently with her hand, only to feel it was softer than elsewhere.

That night in Jiang Mansion, when he unbuttoned his shirt, Yan Qing wanted to see his wounds and paid no attention to other things, and then hurriedly closed his shirt.

But now her eyes moved, and what caught her eye was his muscular chest.

In the 17th year of Chenghua, Yan Qing saw Zhao Cong in Prince Cheng's Mansion and asked the guards to attack him. At that time, Jiang Weiren was still a weak scholar. He was beaten to the ground and his mouth was covered with blood after a few moments. , Yan Qing's impression of him remained at that moment.

But later he became the governor of Ganzhou and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in Anxi. Although he was the commander-in-chief and only had to sit in the army and strategize, there were countless small countries in the west and the Liang Kingdom continued to cause nuisance, and the war never stopped.

He won consecutive battles and his soldiers became more and more courageous as they fought. They went deep into the desert hinterland to pursue the enemy countless times.

He ate and slept in the open air with the soldiers, just like the generals on the border. He also learned a set of marksmanship for self-defense from his generals. He did not fall behind when he returned to the capital. He would practice it when he had time. Now he is still the frail scholar he was back then. .

"Look, the wound is really healed." Jiang Weiren said, but his voice was a little hoarse.

God knows how difficult it is for him at this moment. He always thought that his willpower was not weak, but he didn't expect that today he was just a little closer to her, so he couldn't control himself. Afraid of losing his composure again, he resisted the impulse in his body and covered his shirt and said: "It's getting late, and Marquis Boyang and others have already left. I'll leave the palace and go back to my house right now."

He was about to get up, but Yan Qing pushed him down again. She had a cold face and a cold look on her face. He said: "You are rushing back in a hurry because there is a beauty waiting for you at home, right?"

She was obviously jealous. On normal days, Jiang Weiren didn't know how happy he was, but at this moment he was really uncomfortable, so he sighed: "You can see Have I ever had any women around me in these years?"

In fact, Yan Qing knew that those two maids were given to him by Boyang Housei, but she thought he would send them back immediately, but she heard that he left them behind. Fuzhong.

At first she was angry, but then she thought about it. Among the officials in the court and the young men from the aristocratic families, there were not many beauties in their back houses, but he had no wives or concubines around him. He was an outlier.

Listening to what he said now, she felt that she was too harsh. He was in his prime, had been widowed for a long time, and had no heirs at such an age...

She lowered her head and saw that Jiang Weiren's hands tied with clothes were trembling, and she felt even more heartbroken. Feeling sad, she sat on the edge of the recliner and leaned over to tie it for him.

When it was tied under his ribs, she saw the bulge under his shirt.

Yan Qing's face suddenly turned red, and Jiang Weiren also noticed it at this moment. He couldn't care less about the embarrassment, he just felt uncomfortable. The heat waves in his body hit him layer by layer, and his throat was so burned that it was almost smoking.

He knew Yan Qing's temperament and was afraid that she would be annoyed, so he hurriedly used his strength to stand up and explained with difficulty, "Qingqing, it's my fault, don't be angry..."

No wonder he kept those two maids... ...Yan Qing thought silently.

He was lonely beside him, and he was a normal man. This was human nature, and there was nothing wrong with accepting those two people. But the thought of him touching other women made her feel really uncomfortable.

Seeing that she was silent and silent, Jiang Weiren thought that she thought she was dirty and was really angry, so he hurriedly explained: "I have never touched those two people, and I have never even seen them alive. If you are not happy, I will tell you tomorrow Just ask the housekeeper to give them the deed of betrayal and let them out of the house."

Just as he was saying this, Yan Qing turned around, looked straight at him, and whispered: "Jiang Weiren was actually at the Xiuling Palace. I remember everything..."

Jiang Weiren didn't know why she suddenly mentioned the Xiuling thing, but she said she remembered it. He felt happy for a moment, but more worried, fearing that she would think he was frivolous towards her.

Just as he was about to explain to her that he was really afraid of her discomfort that night, without any offense in his heart, he saw that she had leaned over, flushed, and leaned into his ear, saying softly: "You If you feel uncomfortable, I will help you today.”
