Chapter 17 Don’t joke about my male body [Seeking follow-up reading]
The girl has bright eyes, white teeth and a delicate figure, as exquisite as a porcelain doll. However, at this age when she should be bright and beautiful, she always speaks in a mature and gloomy tone.
Wan Renshan sighed in his heart, then smiled and joked: "When Duan Ming left him alone, the one who was most angry was not the old minister."
"I am angry that they are neglecting their duties——"
The girl gnashed her teeth, her face gloomy enough to drip water: "For so many years, they have excluded people with lofty ideals in the martial arts world. Water drips from the eaves from generation to generation. The West Palace is almost becoming a private army of a few families and surnames, and it is even more useless! If this continues, won't the system of the East and West Palaces exist in name only?"
Wan Renshan comforted her softly, "That's why I let him go to the West Palace. Little Weizi has been suppressed in the palace for five years and is angry. It's a good opportunity to send him to the West Palace to vent his anger, which will also be beneficial to the country."
"But can he really be used by me?"
The girl expressed her doubts and said, "Wei Mingqi has always been fearless, even...even you are not in his eyes——"
She almost gritted her teeth when she spoke the last part.
This involved a humiliating past of hers, and Wan Renshan knew it very well, but he was still trying to excuse his grandson: "He is like a monkey, and when he gets angry, he dares to fight against gods and Buddhas. But to say that he is domineering and arrogant is not entirely true. Little Weizi is a grateful person."
"..."
Shit Ji Eun.
He dared to contradict her before he even grew up, and he has no respect for the imperial power. He is a potential traitor and he deserves to be killed!
but--
The girl bit her soft lips, and suddenly recalled the first piece of intelligence about Wei Mingqi after he left the palace. In it, he was "showing up" on the streets, selling barbarian heads with his master, and the description of the spy was particularly detailed.
"The joy of Canglong is greater than what I have had in the past five years."
It seemed as if all the good things that had happened in the palace over the past five years combined were not as happy as he was that afternoon.
The girl couldn't imagine that scene until she felt a stinging pain on her lips. Then she came to her senses and her eyes became even gloomier.
That’s perfect, I’ll have something to use to control him in the future.
"Cough cough!"
A violent coughing fit.
Wan Renshan stood up and went over to her, stuffing the medicine he had prepared all year into her mouth. After the girl calmed down, he said softly, "The boy is still downstairs. Your Majesty, do you want to see him?"
"not see!"
The girl waved her black and gold-woven robe sleeves and walked out with her hands behind her back: "I am busy with all kinds of affairs every day, so I don't have time to see him, a fourth-rank official."
The two had not seen each other for many years, ever since the boy grew taller than her one day and stood up to resist for the first time.
Behind him, the old eunuch shook his head slightly.
……
In the evening, on Dongchang Street, the most important street among all the major thoroughfares.
The wine shop was filled with shouts and cheers. On the huge stage in the middle, several Hu girls were dancing in a line. Their exposed white bellies were dangling with silver chains, which swayed in an alternating pattern, causing colorful sounds.
"After the defeat at Hongguan that year, Emperor Jingzong hurriedly toured the south. When he stopped at Pingwuguan to rest, someone in the camp played the folk flute, which caused the former emperor, who was still the crown prince, and the soldiers in the camp to howl."
"When the chaos was about to break out, it was the former emperor who decided to return to the capital to fight the enemy. He had countless followers at the time, even Lord Wan, who was like a brother to Emperor Jingzong, decided to follow him. My father was one of them at that time, and he persuaded my grandfather to flee to the former emperor, but the old man still cared about Emperor Jingzong's kindness."
"Eventually, my grandfather went to the southwest, and my father followed the former emperor and died in the chaos of the army. When the world was initially settled, the situation in the capital and the southwest was delicate, and my Shi family fell into decline. Fortunately, the former emperor was very kind and protected me and allowed me to inherit this official position, but it was not as good as before, and even my aunt was treated coldly in the palace."
"Back then, my aunt was named a noble concubine and was doted on by Emperor Jingzong. My grandfather was the commander of the Four Commanderies. Those people fawned over me like lapdogs. Now... haha."
At the table, the man with peach blossom eyes raised his glass of fine wine and drank it all in one gulp. His drunken eyes seemed to be overflowing with water. Then he looked across and patted the table again, saying in a dissatisfied tone:
"Are you fucking listening?"
"Ah? Ah—I'm listening!"
Wei Mingqi was distracted, and pulled his eyes away from the stage, then said seriously: "You said that you were made a concubine by Jingzong, bah, you said that your aunt was made a concubine." "..."
The face opposite, with peach blossom eyes as rosy as peaches and plums, became even more ruddy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Wei Mingqi, what else is there in your mind besides women? Is it useful for you to just look? Can you do it!"
He could tolerate the dirty water thrown at him by the villain, but not this, so Wei Mingqi simply glanced at him and said, "Do you want to go out and pee? Let me tell you in advance, you are not allowed to play the game of "you have to be responsible for me after you have seen my body."
"go!"
Peach Blossom Eyes came up to him angrily, pulling his arm, and moved closer to the smell of alcohol in his mouth: "Whoever is cowardly is a grandson! Let's see whose is bigger——"
Wei Mingqi raised his hands in surrender.
It's not that he doesn't dare to compete, but no matter whether the other party has it or not, it will be a big shock to him, and this deal is not worth it.
The former snorted after his victory, his pair of peach blossom eyes were captivating, but his tone was arrogant:
"Don't make fun of my masculinity in the future. I'm afraid you can't handle it. After all, you are really handsome."
"..."
For the first time in his life, Wei Mingqi felt what it meant to be horrified.
Going out for a drink with the other party didn't seem like a good decision, so he simply stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go home."
The former waved his hand and chased him away:
"Be careful on the road. Those bastards are definitely up to something. Who knows what they might do? I'll help you sort out the personnel in the center. I have nothing now, except for this little piece of land I'm familiar with—"
At this point, his tone was somewhat self-deprecating:
"They say a phoenix in poverty is worse than a chicken. I want to make progress, really make progress - I want to take my aunt home, and I want to take back everything the Shi family has lost!"
The man behind him was drunk and acting crazy, and Wei Mingqi did not do anything extra. He didn't know if the other party was desperate or not. It was a big taboo to be so intimate with him. It was impossible for Wei Mingqi to trust this person in a short period of time.
"..."
After he left, the girl who was leaning against the screen and acting crazy while drunk suddenly became quiet, and her beautiful eyes showed a thoughtful look.
Although he is a little young, he is calm and measured, decisive and ruthless in his actions. He is someone who can be a part of great plans.
Thinking of this, Peach Blossom Eyes raised his wine glass towards the southwest and said, "Cheers to my good relatives. You have kept me on tenterhooks for so many years, but soon I will be free—"
The bluestone alley is dimly lit by moonlight.
Wei Mingqi was walking on the way back, thinking about Shi Fengguan in his mind. Although there didn't seem to be any big problems at the moment, he always gave people a feeling that something was wrong. That is, he shouldn't be a stupid person.
Looking back on his performance tonight, he seemed to have tried a little too hard. If he could open up to others so easily, he wouldn't have become so estranged from Duan Ming and others over the years.
You can't just look at his strong connections in the palace and come over without testing his character, right? Wei Mingqi's reputation is notoriously bad.
He didn't know what the other party was planning, but as long as it didn't involve him, Shi Fengguan could still be used to some extent.
The man sitting on the ground in Xifu, who once took the entire yamen into his own home, could save him from a lot of trouble as long as he was willing to work hard, even if he was down and out.
Slightly——
There was an undisguised sound of footsteps on the snow around the corner.
Wei Mingqi stopped and looked over there silently, only to see a woman walking towards him soon after, holding an oil-paper umbrella with the edge of the umbrella leaning forward to cover her face, revealing only a pair of majestic figures.
"name."
Before he arrived, Wei Mingqi was certain that the other party was coming for him, so he simply spoke directly:
"Let me see which enemy it is."
