Chapter 719 852: Nalan Yi Is Here
Tianchuan, Wei Wangfu.
The scorching sun shines through the window paper into the house, shining on the white jade vase on a table. The smooth surface of the vase reflects the sun on the red lacquered wooden door, drawing out two figures.
Chen Mo embraced Xia Zhiqing's waist with one hand, leaned over the shiny and attractive lips, lowered his head, and gently pursed them. He stroked her beautiful legs with one hand, and after stroking them for a while, he directly stroked her thighs.
Xia Zhiqing's beautiful eyes flashed, and the snow-white skin on her neck also turned pink. Her swan neck was slightly raised, and her two jade arms shyly hugged Chen Mo's neck.
After a passionate kiss, Xia Zhiqing leaned her head on Chen Mo's shoulder, opened her mouth slightly, breathed softly, and then whispered a word in Chen Mo's ear: "Come on."
Hearing this, Chen Mo's nose immediately blew out a stream of hot white air, and he kissed Xia Zhiqing's rosy face intimately. He was an old horse who knew the way and returned to the old place.
Xia Zhiqing hummed, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and then the two slender hands around Chen Mo's neck tightened a little.
I don't know how long it took, Chen Mo picked up Xia Zhiqing and slowly walked towards the soft couch.
During this period, Xia Zhiqing's white face, as white as snow, was flushed, and her head buried in Chen Mo's shoulder also trembled from time to time, which made her feel a little ashamed, and her heart was also filled with joy.
Chen Mo gently placed Xia Zhiqing on the couch, then untied the python robe on his body. As the python robe fell off, Chen Mo pulled the inner garment to both sides with both hands, revealing his strong upper body. His nine abdominal muscles seemed to be shining under the sunlight.
Xia Zhiqing took in the whole scene. Although it was not the first time she saw it, she couldn't help feeling shy at this moment. She gently raised her slender hands to her mouth, tilted her head to one side, and said to hide her shyness: "Husband, has the time for the abdication ceremony been decided?"
"It's decided. On the seventh day of next month, Lord Xu observed the sky at night and said that the day before, there will be a rare eclipse of the sun by the heavenly dog, which is rare in a thousand years, and it will last for a whole day." Chen Mo pinched Xia Zhiqing's face, then leaned over and pressed on her.
"Eclipse of the sun by the heavenly dog?" Xia Zhining hugged Chen Mo's neck and was slightly startled.
Since ancient times, the eclipse of the sun has meant that the imperial family has done something wrong and God is going to punish the monarch.
The people also regarded this phenomenon as an ominous sign.
However, Xia Zhiqing soon understood the intention of setting the abdication ceremony on the day after the eclipse of the sun.
This would further prove to the people of the world that the Chu family is no longer worthy of being the master of the world. If the husband accepts the abdication and succession on the next day, they can declare to the world that it is because of the husband's succession that the eclipse of the sun has been lifted.
The people are ignorant and will definitely believe it.
…
Although the time for the abdication ceremony has been set, not many people know the details of this matter.
And Yi Qianchi is just one of these few people.
Xiangyang, the Prince of Wei's Mansion, is also where Xiaolu's parents currently live.
When Yi Shiyan followed Chen Mo to the capital, the Yi family did not go to the capital together, but chose to stay in Xiangyang.
Because Yi Shiyan asked Yi Qianchi to look after the Prince of Wei's mansion, Yi Qianchi simply moved in with his wife.
Of course, Yi Qianchi also knew his limits and did not let the entire Yi family move in. Only he, his wife, and a few servants did not choose to live in the backyard, but in the front yard.
It was a sunny day.
Yi Qianchi was playing chess with the prefect of Linzhou under the pavilion of the mansion.
"Sir Wei, it's been a while since you last played chess. Have you improved your chess skills?" Yi Qianchi held the white piece and looked at the chessboard, and found that his chess was almost in a dead end.
"Haha." Wei Linchun, who was sitting opposite, chuckled twice, stroking his not-so-long beard and said, "Brother Yi, you have lost so many times, you should let me win once."
"Not necessarily, I can still save a hand." Yi Qianchi quickly found a way to break the dead end. He picked up a white piece with his fingers and put it down, without regret.
Suddenly, the white piece that was originally in a dead end came alive.
Wei Linchun exclaimed: "That's fine, this move is absolutely amazing."
Yi Qianchi smiled.
After about two quarters of an hour, Wei Linchun put down the white piece with a look of regret: "Brother Yi, that was a god's move just now. You won even with this. I admire you, I admire you."
"Thank you." Yi Qianchi raised his hand and clasped his fists.
Of course, he was not being modest. Yi Qianchi was not a child who had never seen the world. After all, he was the head of a family. Of course, he could see that Wei Linchun was deliberately letting him go and trying to curry favor with him.
He also pretended not to understand.
Because he knew that without the identity of the father-in-law of the King of Wei, with his strength and status, he would not be able to contact the governor of a state at all, let alone call him a brother.
He didn't want to cause trouble for his daughter.
Although his daughter had been with the King of Wei for a long time, she still had no child. There were so many women around the King of Wei. He was really worried that his daughter would fall out of favor one day. If he, as a father, caused more trouble, it would be even worse.
"No, no, let's play another game. I don't believe I can't win." Wei Linchun showed his competitive spirit.
Yi Qianchi didn't refuse. Anyway, he was bored, so he might as well play chess to kill time.
As soon as the two of them cleared the chessboard, a servant from the mansion and a clerk from the government office came over together.
Wei Linchun raised his hand to let the clerk come forward, and asked: "Is there anything?"
The clerk raised his hand and came forward, bowed to the two, and then looked at Wei Linchun and said: "Sir, the prefect, the government has a letter from the court, and Sir Song wants you to go over."
"Oh, what letter?" Wei Linchun asked again.
The clerk glanced at Yi Qianchi.
Wei Linchun pretended to be angry: "Mr. Yi is not an outsider, there is no need to be shy, just speak."
"Yes." The clerk said: "In the middle of last month, the people of the capital requested that His Majesty issue an abdication edict, willing to abdicate the throne to the King of Wei. The King of Wei accepted His Majesty's abdication in accordance with the will of heaven, and the abdication ceremony will be held on the seventh of next month. Prime Minister Geng asked officials from all places to submit a congratulatory letter before the abdication ceremony."
When these words came out, Wei Linchun and Yi Qianchi were shocked, and a voice sounded in their hearts at the same time.
The King of Wei is going to be emperor.
"I understand. You go down first. I'll be here soon." Wei Linchun said.
"I'll take my leave."
After the clerk left, Yi Qianchi saw that the servants in the mansion had not left yet. He immediately realized that he had not brought the clerk here, but had something else to do, and asked, "Do you have something to do too?"
The servant nodded and bowed, saying, "Master, the young lady has a letter."
As she said that, she took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Yi Qianchi.
After Yi Qianchi took it, he originally planned to wait until Wei Linchun left before reading it, but thinking that he had not avoided him just now, it would be bad if he avoided him.
So he opened the letter and read it in front of Wei Linchun.
When Yi Shiyan said in the letter that she was pregnant, Yi Qianchi could not hide his excitement and could not help saying, "God bless, ancestors bless, Xiaolu is finally pregnant."
Wei Linchun, who was about to leave, was stunned when he heard this. During this period, he also learned that Yi Qianchi's daughter, who married the King of Wei as a concubine, was nicknamed Xiaolu.
Now that she is pregnant, the status of the Yi family is more solid.
The King of Wei will soon become the emperor, and Yi Qianchi will be the father-in-law of the emperor.
"Congratulations, Brother Yi, congratulations, Brother Yi, it won't be long before Brother Yi will be able to hold the emperor's grandson." Wei Linchun hurriedly congratulated Yi Qianchi.
"Thank you, Lord Wei." Yi Qianchi really hopes that Xiaolu can give him a grandson.
In the letter, Yi Shiyan not only talked about her pregnancy, but also invited him and his mother to go to the capital to participate in the abdication ceremony next month.
...
Time passed quickly, and it was late July in a blink of an eye.
The master bedroom of the Prince of Wei's Mansion was in a mess.
Chen Mo was still obsessed with Yue Ruyan as usual. Both of them were top-grade warriors, so when they were together, they didn't have to worry about anything and could let go of their hands and feet.
Yue Ruyan, who had been tossing for almost half an afternoon, pushed Chen Mo away, her face flushed and radiant, and couldn't help complaining: "You just mess around. It's so hot, you have to take a bath again."
Chen Mo hugged her into his arms again, kissed her face hard, and smiled: "Don't you feel that your strength has improved recently? Take a rest and take a bath together later."
"Don't come on, from tomorrow on, you are not allowed to touch me anymore. I find that they are all going to hate me to death and think that I have taken their time." Although Yue Ruyan didn't care about this, she still hoped to get along well with them because they lived under the same roof and would see each other every day.
"Ah, you are so cruel." Chen Mo hugged the beauty and said, "Then let's have enough fun today."
Yue Ruyan: "..."
Just when Chen Mo was about to continue making trouble.
The door knocked and the maid's voice sounded:
"My lord, someone from the yamen just said that a woman came to the yamen to find the lord. She did not reveal her identity, but only said that she knew the lord. The people from the yamen saw that the woman was very pretty and powerful, so they did not dare to expel her, so they came to ask."
"A very pretty woman?" Yue Ruyan heard this and looked at Chen Mo with a hint of suspicion in her eyes, as if to say, where did you get this woman from?
Chen Mo frowned and asked, "What does she look like?"
"The people from the yamen didn't say it in detail, they just said that her face was very white." The maid said.
"A pretty woman with a very white face?"
Chen Mo really couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
But since she came to find him, Chen Mo decided to go over and take a look.
When he passed by the hall in the backyard, the girls in the hall all looked at Chen Mo with a strange look, as if to say, where did you hook up with him? Haven't you been in the capital during this period?
In the capital's government office, the chief officer of the government office warmly entertained the women.
Although the King of Wei was admired by the world, his love for women was almost known to everyone.
The pretty woman in front of him with extremely white skin and wearing clothes that didn't look like those of the Song Dynasty might be one of the women of the King of Wei. The chief officer of the government office took the attitude of believing it was better than not believing it, and dared not neglect it.
After an unknown period of time, footsteps were heard outside the hall, and a tall and slender figure walked in and said, "Miss Nalan, why is it you?"
The chief officer of the government office immediately felt fortunate that he had a good eye and sent someone to the King of Wei's mansion to inform the King of Wei. At the same time, he had a little expectation in his heart.
Maybe his performance this time would catch the King of Wei's eye.
Nalan Yiren was wearing a short coat with a large collar and a wide felt belt around her waist. The overall color was green, dotted with white lines and silver lace. She was wearing a colorful apron on her lower body, a bit like a horse-faced skirt, making her look slim and slender.
"King Wei, long time no see." Nalan Yiren heard the voice and turned to look. After seeing Chen Mo, she immediately showed some restraint, but quickly suppressed it, pretending to be calm as usual, and even smiled.
"Long time no see"
Chen Mo was very surprised. Of course, he was not surprised to see Nalan Yiren again, but her current dress.
Not only was there no black robe to cover her body, but there were also those bamboo cages hanging on her body. The most important thing was that she was not wearing the half-face mask.
If Chen Mo had not seen what she looked like before, he would not have recognized her at a glance if she did not speak.
Chen Mo had too many doubts.
He tilted his head to look, wanting to dismiss the people in the yamen, but found that the head of the yamen and the people in the lobby had already left, leaving only him and Nalan Yiren.
"Why, King Wei. Don't want to see me?" Nalan Yiren saw Chen Mo's reaction and said with some displeasure in her heart.
"Of course not." Chen Mo answered quickly, and then said: "I'm just surprised why you are dressed like this. Where is your mask? Why don't you wear it?"
"I'm a woman too. It's normal to dress like this." Nalan Yiren raised her eyebrows and said: "Besides, I've avenged my great revenge. Why should I wear a mask?"
As she said that, she muttered in her heart, you have seen my true face a long time ago, and there is no need to wear the mask anymore.
"That's not what I meant. I'm just a little surprised. Didn't I give you my token at that time? Why didn't you come directly to the Prince of Wei's Mansion when you arrived in the capital, but came to the government office to find me?" Chen Mo said.
"Didn't you say at that time that the position of the Great Song Dynasty's National Master would always be reserved for me? Of course I came to the government office to find you." Nalan Yiren didn't say another word. Coming to the government office to find you is for official business, but going to your house to find you, what does that look like?
Nalan Yiren didn't want to act too cheap.
Chen Mo is not a fool. He has been around many women, so how could he not guess what Nalan Yiren was thinking after hearing what she said.
He touched his nose, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Miss Nalan, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time.
But the position of the National Master of the Song Dynasty is gone."
Hearing this, Nalan Yiren frowned, wondering what he meant by this.
Just when she was confused.
Chen Mo smiled: "The new dynasty is still short of a national master, do you want to be one?"
