Chapter 43 Difficult to control
Unable to control himself
, Yan Qing had the courage to say such a sentence. When he leaned in front of him again, his face turned red and his head was lowered, not daring to look at him.
Jiang Weiren's body was filled with unbearable heat. He should have been happy when Yan Qing said those words, but seeing her like this, even at such an uncomfortable moment, he still couldn't bear to let her force herself.
Jiang Weiren held her hand and said, "Qingqing, if you are embarrassed, just let it go."
She had always been thin-skinned, but suddenly she became like this. He thought of her repeatedly mentioning the two maids today, and he understood, and said: "I I won't touch other women. I can wait for how many years with you in my heart."
For him, the greatest temptation and obsession in the world is right in front of him.
Yan Qing risked his life today because he was indeed stimulated by that incident. In fact, it was not his fault, but he really felt sorry for him.
The dignified chief minister has neither a magnificent mansion nor a BMW to greet him. The back house is also empty and deserted. He works all day long on state affairs, and no one knows what he wants.
He was different from her. She had no choice. She had to keep her integrity for the sake of the late emperor. He had a choice, but he was willing to stay lonely.
Although she was the Queen Mother and could reward the world's rarest treasures, she could not give him what he really wanted.
He was about to get up, but she pushed him down again. She leaned over and whispered in his ear: "I'm not very good at it. If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me..."
The waves of Yanchi were blown away by the breeze, and the moonlight sprinkled on it. , like broken stars, with water droplets on all sides like a curtain, the water light and the moonlight intertwined, intertwining the blurred light and shadow like a dream. She carried a candle on her back, and there seemed to be endless waves of light in her eyes.
He held her hands and pulled her, and she fell on top of him. The two of them were close together, and he couldn't help but groan. The sound in Yan Qing's ears had an unspeakable temptation.
Yan Qing lay on top of him. He raised his head to kiss her, but she avoided him.
"What's wrong?" His voice was hoarse.
She glanced at him and whispered: "It smells like alcohol. I don't like you drinking."
Jiang Weiren held her in his arms, his voice was low and soft, "You know, I am alone and unsupervised. I won't dare to take care of you."
Yan Qing didn't bother to answer him and just lay on top of him quietly. The small recliner was a bit crowded for the two of them. When she wanted to get up, he held her tightly in front of him and refused to let her go.
"Your Majesty just said that she still remembers the incident at the Xiuling Palace," he leaned close to her ear and asked in a low voice, "What about the minister's robe? What did your Majesty do with it?" The
hot breath from his mouth blew into her ears. On the other side, her voice was low and lingering at the moment, which made Yan Qing feel embarrassed and annoyed. He replied viciously: "Hanged! Burned!"
Jiang Weiren laughed softly, looking very happy, and moved closer to her. After a while, he said hoarsely: "Is it hanged or burned, huh?"
Yan Qing gritted his teeth, knowing that he was just teasing her on purpose, and no matter what answer he answered, he would be just right, so he reached out and twisted his waist. , but who knew that the flesh on his waist was so hard that it hurt her hand when he squeezed it, but he deliberately hissed and pretended to be in pain.
Yan Qing originally let go of his hand, but when he saw that he was getting stronger, he used more force on his hand, deliberately twisting it near his wound.
Yan Qing stood up to avoid pressing him. Of course, Jiang Weiren did not want to let go of the tenderness and charm in his arms, but now he It was really unbearable. The closer I got to her, the harder it became to control myself.
There was still a square inch of herbal tea on the table, and Yan Qing poured him another cup, but drinking the tea would be of no use.
"The palace gate is about to be unlocked, I have to leave." He said, suppressing the reluctance in his heart.
Naturally, Yan Qing did not dare to really let him stay in the palace overnight. Although Cao Dingzhen was in Jiucheng Palace, she had spies everywhere in the palace.
He knew it in his heart, but it was not easy for the two of them to confirm their feelings. They had just shown tenderness, but now they were naturally reluctant to let go. Seeing the nostalgia in her eyes, Jiang Weiren felt his heart sank. He couldn't help but hold her in his arms again. This was really sweet suffering for him at this moment.
He kissed her forehead and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm only arrogant in private. I will never embarrass you in the slightest. We have a long time ahead."
Yan Qing rested her head on his shoulder and at first glance He was very moved, but after thinking about it carefully, his face fell and he scolded him: "What does it mean to be unruly in private?"
Jiang Weiren deliberately did not answer, and rubbed her ear to the temples for a while, and then left reluctantly.
On the second day, Jiang Weiren asked the housekeeper of the house to give the two girls the deeds of prostitution to them, and gave them enough money to let them out of the house.
Not only that, when Marquis Boyang asked Jiang Weiren to drink again, he said that he had stopped drinking.
"You are so good, why have you stopped drinking?" Boyang Houbai was puzzled and discussed with those clan members.
One of them said: "Perhaps Mr. Jiang got drunk by us that night. After being summoned to the palace by Queen Mother Shengyi, he lost his manners in front of the Queen Mother because of his drunkenness."
They all remembered that Jiang Weiren had already rushed into the palace before he arrived . He showed a drunken state. He rushed there drunkenly, which would definitely make the Queen Mother Shengyi unhappy. So in the final analysis, Jiang Weiren naturally blamed these people for getting him drunk, so he not only gave up drinking, but also The two maids also drove away.
Marquis Boyang thought dejectedly that this must be the case. He sent his maids and made soup. Unexpectedly, Queen Mother Shengyi suddenly called for help, which ended up being self-defeating.
They were half right. Mr. Jiang had indeed behaved inappropriately in front of the Queen Mother, but it was not because he was drunk.
In the summer, the drought-stricken prefectures finally received rain, which relieved their urgent needs. When autumn entered, Empress Dowager Ciyi and His Majesty also returned from Jiucheng Palace.
Zhao Yuan is now twelve years old and will get married and rule in two or three years. At this time, Cao Dingzhen has already begun to look for a future queen candidate for him.
For this reason, she often summoned the daughters of nobles in the court into the palace to carefully observe their talents, virtues and character. Sometimes she would also ask the palace officials to invite the emperor Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan was extremely troubled by this and could only find an opportunity to complain to Yan Qing.
"There are so many women from such aristocratic families, but His Majesty doesn't like any of them?" Yan Qing asked him. In fact, she felt that it was too early to decide on a candidate now. In her heart, Zhao Yuan would always be the child who had not grown up.
Zhao Yuan shook his head at her, "It's not that they are not good enough, it's just that if one of them becomes my queen and wants to be with that person forever, then no matter which one of them it is, I won't be happy. "
What kind of queen does A Yuan want to be with him all the time?" Yan Qing asked with a smile.
Zhao Yuan looked at her and replied: "Of course I hope to be like my father and my empress, raising eyebrows and respecting each other as guests."
The smile on Yan Qing's lips gradually faded away, leaving only bitterness, "But A Yuan, in this world There is more than one person who can stand up to you and treat you like a guest, but there is only one person who can really make you feel happy and contented for the rest of your life."
Zhao Yuan looked at her, seeming to understand, and Yan Qing sighed: "This is true, your Majesty. I hope you understand, and I hope you never understand."
Since the return of Jiucheng Palace, Cao Dingzhen has been focusing on this, thinking about choosing the person first, and then letting him slowly develop a relationship with Zhao Yuan. When you reach the age, you can have a wedding ceremony.
Her elder brother Wu Zhongbo, Cao Yu, was dismissed from the army and demoted from his rank because he failed to pay the military pay at the border. This incident was a huge blow to the entire Cao family.
Cao Yu wanted to return to the army and take power again, so he went to Cao Dingzhen to lobby for this many times, but Cao Dingzhen always asked him to wait. The turmoil was too big at the beginning. If he reinstated his official position so quickly, he would definitely cause trouble. There was a lot of discussion.
So this time when Wen Ying told her that Uncle Wu Zhong came to the palace again, Cao Dingzhen said impatiently: "Didn't I tell him to calm down and wait? The reinstatement must be done slowly." However,
Wen Ying said He said, "Mother, it seems that what Uncle Wu Zhong did this time was not about his reinstatement."
"Oh?" Cao Dingzhen asked doubtfully, "Then let him do it."
This time, Cao Yu did not do anything about his reinstatement.
"Your Majesty, please remember that when Shi Zhen impeached me, it coincided with the Peach Blossom Flood in Lingnan and the earthquake in Zhili and other places. As a result, rumors spread in the capital, saying that it was because Your Majesty indulged our Cao family too much and deliberately protected us. It made God angry.
"Those rumors spread so quickly that I felt that someone must be behind it. "
Cao Yu brought up old things again, and Cao Dingzhen also recalled the situation at that time.
"Brother is right, I was also suspicious at that time.
Cao Yu looked at her and asked, "Who do you think the empress is behind this? "
Cao Dingzhen sneered, "Whoever wants to see something happen to our Cao family the most is naturally that person. " Of course, the one who is most unwilling to see the best friend of the Cao family in the inner palace is the one from Renshou Palace, not to mention," she said coldly, "the harmony between me and her is just for outsiders to see, and it is not torn apart. It's just the last layer of shame. "
At first, I also thought that this was probably done by Empress Dowager Shengyi secretly instructing officials in the court. There may be people in the court who are dissatisfied with the Cao family, but who would dare to risk offending Empress Dowager Ciyi to do such a thing?" "Things..."
Cao Yu muttered, "So I thought for a while that I was worrying too much, but in the end I couldn't help but be confused and investigated secretly, and I found some traces.
After hearing this, Cao Dingzhen stared at him and asked, "Brother, what did you find out? " "
"I'm sure you won't be able to guess who is behind this..." Cao Yu sneered.
"Who is it?
Cao Yu spoke slowly: "Master Chief Assistant, Jiang Weiren. " "
"impossible! "Cao Dingzhen sneered, "He said this without any reason. What good would it do him if something happened to the Cao family? "
This is also something I am puzzled about, but the traces I found do point to him." "
Cao Dingzhen sat down slowly, his face getting darker and darker. When Cao Yu saw it, he also sighed: "Jiang Weiren has a deep foundation in the court now. Even if we find out that it is him, there will be no way to deal with him. "
Cao Dingzhen understands this truth better than Cao Yu. Today's cabinet and the entire court all rely on him, Jiang Weiren, and even Zhao Yuan cannot do without this imperial master.
"If it is really him, he will do this, there must be a certain reason The reason," Cao Dingzhen said thoughtfully, "We have to first understand why he dealt with the Cao family in this way. "
For Jiang Weiren, it is unwise to do so, and all his actions since Zhao Yuan ascended the throne are to show favor to the Cao family.
At the beginning of the new emperor's accession to the throne, although the two palaces stood side by side, Yan Qing's status was higher than his own Gao, at that time, she was bent on cultivating her own power in the court. Of course, the chief minister, Jiang Weiren, was the first to win over. She recognized Xue Shiying as her adopted daughter for this purpose
. It seemed that they carefully controlled the balance between the two queen mothers, which made people confused about their attitude.
She had some thoughts about Jiang Weiren at the beginning. During the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, she had someone call him to Suiyuxuan. The way he was careful about dealing with her, it was clear that he understood her thoughts but could not confront her directly.
Taking advantage of her drunkenness, she threw herself into his arms, but was knocked out by Yan Qing. But in fact, the moment before Yan Qing opened the door, he He had already pushed himself away.
He had been a widower for many years after his wife died. It was said in the capital that it was because he loved his late wife that she thought so at the time.
"The Queen Mother," Cao Yu said suddenly, "the Cao family can't stop her. The chief assistant's path to deal with the Cao family should be rooted in the palace. Perhaps, he has been won over by the Queen Mother Shengyi. The Queen Mother must not forget that Jiang Weiren was Yan Yongnian's disciple in the past. "
But later, he betrayed his mentor and took refuge with Cai Yong. Yan Qing should hate him to the bone..."
At that time, Cao Dingzhen was still a concubine in the Prince of England's palace. She was not favored by Zhao Chun, and she spent all day In the backyard of the deep house, she only heard about the affairs in the court. Thinking about it, Jiang Weiren and the Yan family might have some unknown past events behind them.
"Jiang Weiren, Yan Qing..." she pondered. While muttering.
