Adore Trick of Beauty

There was no sound, and Nie Wushuang counted the strands of necklaces hanging from the dragon tent on the curtain. Finally, she waited for the people around her to breathe calmly before she quietly put on her clothes and stood up.

The palace was silent, and the palace guards who were keeping watch had already dozed off. Nie Wushuang quietly walked up to the Dragon Case with bare feet. Under the moonlight, she carefully identified the words on the memorial. Finally, in the third volume on the right hand side, she I found a roster and looked at it one by one. The more I looked at it, the more I frowned.

This list was very different from the list Xiao Fengqing gave her. He marked all the job promotions with many dotted comments on it, which were blurred and unreadable under the moonlight. Nie Wushuang glanced at it a few times, remembered the name on it, and then quietly put it away.

Nie Wushuang walked down the dragon case and realized that his back was wet with sweat, and he was feeling cold and uncomfortable. She quietly lay back beside him, looked at his sleeping face in his dream, and pushed him gently: "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Fengming turned over, held her in his arms, and fell asleep again. Nie Wushuang felt relieved and fell asleep peacefully. Early the next morning, Xiao Fengming went to court, and Nie Wushuang returned to the "Yonghua Palace". I don't know whether it was because he caught a cold last night or didn't sleep well, and his head was groggy.

She did not dare to neglect, and carefully listed the names on the list she saw last night. She made a thin list. She summoned Yang Zhi and showed him the list in her hand: "These are the names on the emperor's list. And official positions, take a look.”

Yang Zhi looked at it, and then looked around carefully to make sure that no one was there before he asked cautiously: "What are you going to do, empress?" He also knew that Xiao Fengqing was trying to make things difficult for others. How could those bunch of officials be included in this year's autumn election? What's more, there are also competitions between various court forces, which she, a concubine, cannot interfere with.

Nie Wushuang rubbed his sore forehead: "Let me think about it."

Yang Zhi saw that her face was not good, so he quickly asked: "Do you want to call the imperial doctor to take a look? Your Majesty's face does not look good. Feng"

Nie Wushuang waved his hand: "It doesn't matter."

Yang Zhi did not dare to say anything anymore. He glanced at the roster in his hand and carefully placed it in his arms: "I will try to show it to His Highness so that His Highness can think of a solution. After all, with this roster, His Highness will be able to accomplish things easily."

Nie Wushuang's heart moved, and he quickly called Yang Zhi over, and said a few words like this. The more Yang Zhi listened, the more he admired him, and he repeatedly praised: "Your Majesty, what a plan!"

Nie Wushuang let out a long breath: "Get rid of the people you don't want, and the remaining vacancies can naturally be manipulated."

"Yes!" Yang Zhi said and was about to retreat, when Nie Wushuang suddenly felt bored and nauseous, and couldn't help but fall down on the bed. Yang Zhi was shocked and quickly stepped forward to support her: "What's wrong with you, Madam?"

Nie Wushuang only felt like he was floating in the void, and it took him a long time to wake up. Yang Zhi saw her face turned pale and couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Is the empress... pregnant?"

Nie Wushuang was startled, and then a surge of ecstasy came over him. Calculating the monthly letter, this month is late, but is it really possible? Dr. Yan had already said before that her miscarriage was not properly treated and it would be difficult for her to have children in the future. Could it be that the sky really opened her eyes and gave her hope again?

Nie Wushuang pinched the corners of his clothes, suppressed his pounding heart, and barely calmed down and ordered: "Go to Imperial Physician Xuanyan... let him check your pulse."

Yang Zhi was also nervous, and it took him a long time to come to his senses and retreat hastily.

After Yang Zhi left, there was silence in the inner hall. Nie Wushuang was lying on the beauty's couch, but her heart was filled with turmoil. Will she really have a child? She thought of the ecstasy when she first learned she was pregnant, and the despair of being forced to drink red flowers... The past scenes passed by one after another, and it hurt her heart.

Only after losing can you know what is most worth cherishing. Nie Wushuang's trembling hand touched his flat belly. Could it be that there would be another life here...

Imperial Physician Yan hurried over. He looked at Nie Wushuang, who was in a daze in the palace, and gave a salute. Just as he was about to step forward, Nie Wushuang suddenly retracted his hand and stared at him with her beautiful eyes, filled with anxiety.

"Your Majesty?" Dr. Yan asked doubtfully, "If your Majesty doesn't reach out, how can I treat you?"

"Mr. Yan, you once said that I will not have any more children. Is it completely impossible, or is there still hope?" Nie Wushuang's voice became hoarse because of nervousness.

Dr. Yan thought for a while and hesitated: "It's not impossible, it's just more difficult. If you insist on taking medicine and acupuncture, your mother's body may get better, and the cold air in her body will be eliminated, and she may be pregnant."

After Imperial Physician Yan finished speaking, he knew that she would not call him over for no reason, so he listened quietly. After a long time, he looked at Nie Wushuang with a complicated expression and stopped talking.

Nie Wushuang was so nervous that she didn't know what to say, and her hands were shaking slightly as she held the corners of her clothes. Finally, Yang Zhi broke the silence anxiously: "Is our mother-in-law...?"

Imperial Physician Yan sighed: "Yes, and no. Your Majesty is still a little short of getting pregnant. Wei Chen diagnosed that your Majesty has signs of pregnancy, but there is no pregnancy pulse."

Nie Wushuang opened his mouth, and after a long time he asked again: "Did Imperial Physician Yan mean..."

Dr. Yan nodded: "Actually, this is a good thing. It proves that your mother's health is getting better, otherwise she wouldn't have such strange symptoms... So now Wei Chen can definitely return to your mother's side, and she can be pregnant!"

Nie Wushuang hid her face, and a sound similar to a sigh came from behind her sleeves. After a long time of identification, Imperial Physician Yan realized that she was actually crying, and quickly and quietly retreated. Nie Wushuang cried softly for a while, wiped away her tears, and said to Imperial Physician Yan who was waiting outside the inner hall: "Physician Yan, please come in."

There was still water in her beautiful eyes that she had wiped dry, but she looked so sparkling at this moment, so beautiful that people dared not look directly at her: "Mr. Yan, please prescribe medicine. Medicine that can drive away the coldness in my body."

Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty is finally willing to treat me! I'm so lucky!"

…

The autumn in Yingguo is very cool and pleasant, sweeping away the scorching heat of summer, making it perfect for autumn hunting. The ancestor emperor of Ying State conquered the world on horseback, and today the traditional custom of horseback is still preserved in the royal family. From the emperor to the ordinary people, they also like to go hunting in autumn. For ordinary people, hunting a few hares or pheasants is a happy thing for them. This is especially true for the royal family.

Since Xiao Fengming came to the throne, he has decreed that the original autumn hunting pasture should be more than doubled. Every autumn, a large-scale autumn hunting will be held in the pasture. The young members of the royal family can show off their skills in the autumn hunting, or Finally, compete in martial arts, riding and archery, to win the approval of the emperor or the favor of the woman you like.

But this year's autumn hunting is destined to be less peaceful. First of all, this year is already a troubled year. First, the Qi State and the Ying State are getting married, and then the Qin State invades the Qi State. The Qi State, which has always relied on the natural danger "Yunling Pass", is now facing The invasion of Qin State was defeated and unable to resist. Finally, Qin State invaded the thirteen counties of Lingzhou, Qi State, and boasted that it would invade the capital of Qi State within two months.

Gu Qinghong, the Prime Minister of Qi State, was ordered to go to the battlefield in person and used a plan to block the Qin State's cavalry in front of the Han River in Tongzhou. At this point, the war between Qi and Qin fell into a stalemate. The state of Qi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly sent an envoy to the state of Ying to request the fulfillment of the covenant signed at the time of the marriage. The Qi State envoy arrived at Ying State. Before they could take a few breaths, they were put into a dilemma by Xiao Fengming's cordial edict: Xiao Fengming asked the Qi State envoy to rest more and wait until after the autumn hunting to discuss the alliance's dispatch of troops.

…

In the "Ganlu Hall", Nie Wushuang was painting with Xiao Fengming. At some point, Xiao Fengming seemed to be interested in painting, and he called her into the palace for several days to paint for her.

Nie Wushuang sat on the chair, wanting to move but not daring to move, and said with a smile: "The emperor is not willing to let the concubine draw the emperor last time? So you want to draw the concubine specially?"

Xiao Fengming drew a few strokes and shook his head: "It still doesn't work. I can play chess, but my painting is not as good as yours."

Nie Wushuang saw him put down his pen and stepped forward with a smile: "The emperor is too modest. The emperor's characters are majestic and self-contained. The characters for concubine are not as good as the emperor."

Xiao Fengming crumpled up the paper on the dragon case, shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't praise me. I am a good painter. I feel that except for one person, there is really no one else who can compare to Yingguo."

Nie Wushuang was aroused by his words and asked, "Who is it?"

"Fifth brother." Xiao Fengming said with a smile.

The smile on Nie Wushuang's face gradually disappeared, and after a while he responded with a half-hearted "Oh?"

Xiao Fengming thought she didn't believe it, so he smiled and said: "He is good at meticulous painting, and the people he painted are lifelike. The late emperor praised him..." He stopped talking in the middle of the sentence, with regret on his handsome face.

Nie Wushuang knew that what he said next might not be a pleasant memory, so he changed the subject with a smile. While they were talking, Eunuch Lin suddenly came forward and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Rui is asking for an audience. It seems there is something urgent."

Xiao Fengming raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "As expected, Cao Cao will be here."

Nie Wushuang hurriedly wanted to retreat to the inner palace, but Xiao Fengming suddenly said: "You don't have to avoid it. The fifth brother also often enters the palace, so he is not a stranger."

Nie Wushuang's face turned red, and she couldn't help but suspect that he knew something. She quickly looked at his face secretly, but saw that there was nothing strange on Xiao Fengming's face, and then she slowly felt relieved.

After a while, Xiao Fengqing walked into the palace, knelt down and said: "Long live my emperor, long live!" He raised his eyes and quickly glanced at Nie Wushuang next to him, and said slowly: "Long live Bi Xiuyi!"

Xiao Fengming laughed: "I am flat, and I will give you a seat."

Nie Wushuang stood aside, looking at his nose and his nose at his heart, calm and motionless. Xiao Fengqing stepped forward, glanced at the rice paper on the dragon table, and smiled lazily: "The emperor is in a good mood. He is painting beauties here, but he leaves me to deal with that group of old masters from Qi!"

Xiao Fengming saw the impatient look on his face and knew that he must have been disturbed by the people from Qi State in the past few days. Gu Qinghong was also very powerful. He knew that the Ying State would not lend troops easily this time, so he sent the most stubborn and loyal veterans of the Qi State to serve as lobbyists. Once these people arrived in the Ying State, they made it clear that if the Ying State did not lend troops , the attitude of dying in front of Yingguo's palace if you don't fulfill the covenant is really a headache.

Xiao Fengqing pushed back and forth with them, and they always wanted to get into trouble with the emperor, which annoyed him. Today, he couldn't suppress them anymore, so he came to Xiao Fengming for help.

Xiao Fengming smiled slightly: "What do they want to do today?"

Xiao Fengqing sighed: "They wanted to see Concubine De, but my younger brother stopped them, so they started making trouble again."

Xiao Fengming did not comment and waved to Xiao Fengqing: "Fifth brother, come and see, how is my painting?"

Xiao Fengqing stepped forward and looked at Nie Wushuang with her wickedly handsome, narrow and deep eyes. She shook her head repeatedly: "Your Majesty's paintings are not good. How could Bi Xiuyi be so ugly?"

Nie Wushuang couldn't help being shocked when she saw that he didn't spare the emperor any sympathy. When Xiao Fengming wasn't paying attention, she glared at him: "Your Highness Prince Rui, don't talk nonsense. The emperor's paintings are naturally good."

Xiao Fengming smiled bitterly, rubbed the paper in his hand, and sighed: "I also feel bad, but I can't say anything."

Xiao Fengqing suddenly chuckled: "If the emperor likes to paint Bi Xiuyi, give me three days, and I promise to paint a painting that satisfies the emperor."

"No!" Nie Wushuang blurted out.

"It works!" At the same time, Xiao Fengming nodded and smiled.

Xiao Fengqing glanced at Nie Wushuang, so

Zuo was helpless: "Your Majesty, Bi Xiuyi doesn't like my brother painting her."

Xiao Fengming shook Nie Wushuang's hand and said with a smile: "Fifth brother actually doesn't have any ill intentions. Do you really not like him?"

Nie Wushuang suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and forced a smile: "How could I not like it? I'm just afraid that it will delay His Royal Highness Prince Rui's business, and there is also..."

"What else?" Xiao Fengming asked, his deep black eyes without any ripples. Nie Wushuang was heartbroken and said softly: "Besides, I am afraid of rumors..."

Seeing her cautious look, Xiao Fengming shook her hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, this time, I have my decree."

Nie Wushuang had no choice but to kneel down: "I obey the decree." At the same time, Xiao Fengqing's cheerful voice sounded behind his ears: "Then I don't have to go receive those old antiques from the envoy, right? Your Majesty?"

After exiting the Manna Hall, Nie Wushuang was filled with anger. She waited for a long time, and finally waited until Xiao Fengqing came out and reached a remote corner. Then she stepped forward to stop her and said angrily: "What a bad idea came from Your Highness! This is good. Just wait for the rumors to fly all over the sky!”
