Chapter 98 Letter from the Queen Mother(1/3)
When the moon comes to the Fenglai Pavilion, the scent of Tianjun's refreshing fragrance spreads out, making people feel relaxed and happy. Tang Wanrong is personally reviewing all the details of the prince's succession to the throne.
The succession of the throne is not like announcing the throne to the world, promulgating a new era name, and offering sacrifices to ancestors and heaven and earth, but it is still cumbersome and complicated.
Not only does the entire palace need to make arrangements, but also Taichang Temple, Zongzheng Temple and the Ministry of Rites will coordinate.
Although the officials sent by Zongzheng Temple were kept away, the preparations within the palace were still proceeding in an orderly manner, and they would not give up the throne just to vent their anger.
People can do stupid things occasionally, but they shouldn’t be so stupid that people can’t understand them.
The magnolia flowers on the lakeshore in the distance have withered, and not many new leaves have grown yet. The bare dark brown branches are sparse, and there is a sense of loneliness, which is quite different in this bustling spring scene.
"It was as if that scene was happening again. The one who wanted to enter the palace was changed from the crown prince to the official of Zongzheng Temple, and the one responsible for blocking people at the door was changed from Tang Zhong to Tang Cheng. It's just that Tang Zhong was beaten, and Tang Cheng was beaten...
...It’s really interesting.” Bai Ji sighed with emotion, it really had the same effect as a drama.
"The same is true in the story I just read. After being scolded by her stepson, the stepmother of Xianwangzhuang learned from the pain and worked together to overcome the difficulties. They worked together to practice the God-Destroying Palm of Destroying Heaven and Earth, and finally defeated the incoming Tianlong.
Eight Tribes."
Hei Ji took a book and read it with gusto. This divine palm is really powerful. After learning it, an eighth-level person can also have the power of a grand master, which is amazing... Hey, Qin Shou'an slashed at Cishu Immortal Square that day.
, is this this kind of martial arts?
This heroic story is also a handwritten copy obtained by Bai Ji, but the font is neat and it is easy for Hei Ji to read it. She reads one page a day when she has time. Half a year later, she finally saw the wonderful content today.
When you have time, you can chat with Qin Shouan and see if he will reveal his martial arts secrets under Hei Ji's careful and unknown temptation.
"You are the Queen Mother's cronies, don't you know that I am not a stepmother at all, and he is not a stepson?"
As for other people, Tang Wanrong was naturally too lazy to explain and had no need to explain, but these two people hung out in front of her every day, and it would be embarrassing if she didn't explain her relationship with Qin Shou'an clearly:
"We just form the Langya Palace together. Just like you Longyin Guards, we are just a kind of government agency that exists with the Queen Mother's acquiescence and even guidance, and assumes many responsibilities that are not suitable for the public."
Hei Ji and Bai Ji looked at Tang Wanrong counting her breath, and then nodded together. Hei Ji continued to read, and Bai Ji continued: "You continue to work, I will talk to you later."
Tang Wanrong looked at their "you can tell me what you say" expressions and felt unhappy. She said with a straight face: "I have nothing to do. Of course there are people in the mansion and people from the palace, the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, and Zongzheng Temple."
Contact me, I’m just casually taking a look."
As she spoke, she simply threw away the book in her hand and looked at the scenery inside and outside the palace with an expressionless face.
"Private message from the Queen Mother." Bai Ji said.
Tang Wanrong quickly extinguished the Tianjun Qingshen incense, put on the sandalwood prescribed in the etiquette, washed her hands, changed her clothes, and straightened her appearance to receive the fire-lacquered letter sent by Bai Ji.
This is also one of the responsibilities of the Longyin Guard. It uses private letters instead of summonses to convey special instructions from the Queen Mother to those who have unconventional and secret duties.
Hei Ji and Bai Ji are in the palace every day, but they still keep in contact with other Longyin Guards and will receive and send some information back to the palace. This is why Tang Wanrong and Qin Shou'an often choose to let Hei Ji and Bai Ji see them deal with it.
Reasons for some affairs.
To express to the Queen Mother that one has no selfish motives and no hidden intentions, or to allow the Queen Mother to directly know the causes and results of certain things.
The letter was very long. Tang Wanrong took a quick look at it and saw that it was actually a letter written by the Queen Mother. The handwriting was slightly different from usual. It seemed that she was writing in a car on the way. The feeling of stopping and writing when she started writing was very obvious.
It took a long time to read it. Tang Wanrong did not burn the letter. Instead, she folded it again and stored it in a locked drawer on the treasure box.
"Starting from my life experience, the Queen Mother praised my contribution and hard work over the years, and hoped that I would continue to dedicate myself to assisting the Crown Prince in the future..."
Bai Ji and Hei Ji were very curious about what was said in the letter, but it was impossible to ask. Tang Wanrong, with a blank look on her face, started to explain in confusion.
"That's not all..." Hei Ji forcefully resisted the word "nonsense", and then Jianghu reminded Tang Wanrong with experience:
"Maybe this is a letter that requires special means to read the true content. You can bake it on the fire, or soak it in water, or there is a sandwich or something? Maybe you can lick it."
"Do you think the Queen Mother is some kind of charlatan? If she needs this to deliver the news, then we Longyin Guards are probably traitors."
Bai Ji thought about it carefully:
"Perhaps it's an acrostic poem... Many young ladies often use acrostic poems to express their true feelings to their sweethearts because of opposition from their families and their maids and mothers-in-law being sold. Her sweetheart will first be saddened by the decisive meaning in the poem.
, when I looked at the acrostic head again, I immediately understood what the lady was thinking, and I was so happy that I went crazy..."
"What's the difference between what you're talking about and what I'm talking about?" Hei Ji sneered. Her sister just has no experience in the world of martial arts, so she always thinks that everything in the play is the real world, martial arts and love.
"The Queen Mother is definitely not a person in the world, but she is in the palace, but she has the same worries as the women in the boudoir. People around her may not be able to control them. There are many people who are just like us and have unfathomable scheming." Bai Ji
Ao Ran explained.
The only thing Tang Wanrong admired was that their skills were unfathomable and they were not worth relying on in other aspects. However, she really couldn't understand the meaning of the Empress Dowager's letter.
Throughout the article, she talks about her appreciation, trust and respect for Tang Wanrong. It can be said to be sincere, but because it is too long, it feels a bit frivolous.
There is no need for such a letter to be delivered through the Longyin Guard channel. It is no problem for the eunuch Bingbi or the Hanlin Academy to draft it as an edict... Why should the Queen Mother bother to write such a thing herself?
So Tang Wanrong took out the letterhead, baked it on a candle, dripped some water on it, and then tore it off on each edge to see if there were any layers.
Nothing was found.
Originally, Hei Ji and Bai Ji didn't know the content, but now they looked at such a long article with unclear meaning and looked at each other, puzzled.
"Let's show it to the young prince. He has rich experience in the world." Hei Ji already admired Qin Shou'an very much.
He and his master went to a large sect to celebrate his birthday, had a dispute over the birthday, had emotional grievances with a famous fairy in the world, and was chased and provoked by masters from foreign countries. These were all legendary stories in Heiji's dreams every night.
.
"What does this have to do with Jianghu experience? However, as a strong woman, asking him for advice in turn can make him very proud, thereby enhancing the intimacy between you... By then, what is written in the letter will no longer matter.
”
Bai Ji described it with emotion: "The important thing is that under the candlelight, the two of them cuddled quietly, frowning and thinking. Suddenly, when they looked up, they found that the two of them were close to each other. Your eyes flickered, and his
Staring at each other, looking into each other's eyes, they are attracted to each other, gradually getting closer, the breaths between lips and teeth blend..."
Tang Wanrong's cheeks turned red after hearing this. She wanted to interrupt Bai Ji several times, but she felt her heart beating wildly for no reason. She just wanted to see what kind of ivory Bai Ji's dog was about to spit out, and she suppressed the shame.
I feel like listening to her talk.
"At this time, your eyes will be open or closed, and as a veteran of Fengyue, he will gently hold your waist, and you will squeak, slightly raising your hands to refuse or welcome, with the warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms.
, how can he hold back, his lips will definitely meet, and he will win over countless people in the world in an instant..."
As Bai Ji talked, she couldn't help but fall into it herself. The scene she described made people's hearts beat wildly, and the man holding her in his arms suddenly turned into Qin Shou'an.
No... How can a prodigal woman like me, a veteran of romance, really be intoxicated? Isn't that just playing around and becoming the object of play?
She shook her head quickly, trying to interrupt her description of casting a spell that made people fall into a fantasy, but the fantasy in front of her became more and more real. Qin Shouan's face seemed to appear in front of her eyes, making people want to move uncontrollably.
Close.
"Zha!"
A voice like Hong Zhongda Lu's voice was deafening in my heart. The illusion in front of me was shattered. The whole person seemed to wake up from the chaos. Bai Ji was startled and took a big breath. Her body was limp. She fell to the side. Qin Shouan did not come.
It was my sister who caught her with a serious face.
Tang Wanrong also came back to her senses and looked at Bai Ji in surprise. If it weren't for the fact that Bai Ji looked like she was suffering from a nightmare, she really thought that Bai Ji was plotting against her.
For example, let her fall into a fantasy, and then call Qin Shou'an, so that she can't distinguish between reality and illusion and make a mistake that will lead to eternal regret.
"Last time you saw Qin Shou'an's divine palm that day, you gained a breakthrough in your mental skills, but you may have planted his image in your inner demons. You are not even aware that you cast the phantom sound without knowing it.
I know, I almost went crazy."
Hei Ji had just uttered "Zha", the sacred sound of the great avenue used by Riyue Mountain to clear away evil thoughts and demonic hearts, and woke up the two of them. It seemed that they both had evil thoughts towards Qin Shou'an.
"What is the phantom sound..." Tang Wanrong pressed her chest to adjust her breathing and secretly rejoiced:
I was only influenced by Bai Ji to have those fantasies that seemed to be real. In fact, she didn't have any evil thoughts about him. She was his Aunt Tang, and she was upright and prudent. How could she make a joke?
p>
"I have practiced a relatively rare mental method, which can interfere with people's minds. It is very useful when fighting enemies and attacking people's minds... But for now, it is only used in opera singing." Bai Ji said with a little embarrassment.
Said.
She knew very well that the phantom sound normally did not have such a powerful effect. The main reason was that she had broken through because of Qin Shou'an's influence. Every time she used her mental skills, it would deepen the influence of Qin Shou'an in her heart, just like the inner demon entrenched in her soul.
.
Under normal circumstances, this has no impact, but if Qin Shou'an is involved, unpredictable surprises will occur.
"What kind of actual combat do you call this... In addition to standing guard, are you sisters really Dragon Song Guards?"
Tang Wanrong looked at the two sisters with great suspicion. They seemed to be doing things that ordinary guards could do.
Ordinary guards are easy to spot, but they can hide their aura, and sometimes people can't even feel it when they stand there.
"The eighth guard of the Dragon Song Guard, Hei Ji."
"The ninth guard of Longyin Guard, Bai Ji."
"Okay... you must have a nepotistic relationship." Tang Wanrong is a registered disciple of Ji Jingzhao Jian'an. If they really have a relationship, Hei Ji and Bai Ji can be considered her nephews.
Tang Wanrong has a distinguished status. The master of Riyue Mountain is the acting master who registers Tang Wanrong's name in the nunnery. It is not included in the sect sequence and is just a ceremony.
Hei Ji and Bai Ji only regard her as an acquaintance. It is difficult for people with low martial arts skills to gain the respect of the Black and White Demons. A master like Qin Shouan can quickly gain the recognition of Hei Ji and Bai Ji.
"How come you weren't affected?" Tang Wanrong looked at Hei Ji strangely, "Didn't you also break through Qin Shou'an's calligraphy power to kill... kill Qianmo?"
"Kill a thousand swords!" Hei Ji snorted coldly, "Although the calligraphy was written by Qin Shouan, the power of the calligraphy is not his personal image, but his condensed spiritual momentum, which is very pure... It also shows that I am a relatively
It's pure and clean, unlike you who are all obsessed with men and women, obscene and promiscuous."
To be continued...
