70. Identity(1/2)
After Qiao Yu knew that Jing Yan had made arrangements, he didn't take Feng Nannan's affairs seriously. He just never went out again. At least until this matter was resolved, he wouldn't step out of the Xianlin Palace again. Fortunately, it's winter now, and it's so cold outside. It's better to stay in the house and be warm, and Qiao Yu is not in a hurry either.
He was idle and only drew some scripts all day long, thinking that if he could sell more, he could also donate some quilts to the victims. Moreover, he heard that the abbot of Dafeng Temple was also encouraging wealthy families in the capital to help the victims. If he could donate 10,000 taels of silver, the host could light an eternal lamp himself and recite scriptures every day, wishing the Buddha to protect his peace. Qiao Yu did not believe in these, but because he read Jing Yan all day long, he wanted to light one for him.
When Empress Chen was there, there was also Jing Yan's eternal lantern in the treasure hall of Dabei Temple. Later, the Chen family beheaded the whole family for the crime of treason. Of course, the eternal lantern could not be lit. But Qiao Yu always felt it was a pity. He thought that he wanted to light a Jing Yan, but he had no money when he was in Taiqing Palace. When he came out, he found that the incense of Dabei Temple was too popular. Even if he donated money, he had to line up to draw lots to donate money and lighted the eternal lantern. Qiao Yu didn't have that good luck.
Fortunately, I had this opportunity.
Qiao Yu was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat snacks. She occasionally got free to drink a sip of warm tea. When she was drawing the scenery, she asked Jinfu, "What is your highness busy with recently? The disaster relief is almost over."
Jinfu replaced him with a cold candy cake, "It was said that it was Longnan, Chengchun, and several other aristocratic families in Baili came to Beijing to report their duties. There were many people, and it took a long time for them to pay homage to His Highness."
Qiao Yu nodded, thinking that he was born in the Qiao family in Longnan. Although he was not very old, he still remembered that during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, his house could hardly accommodate so many people.
The founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than two hundred years is not short, but those aristocratic clans have always been powerful and have not fallen for almost a thousand years, resulting in some places only knowing the clan leader but not the emperor. The Qiao family is considered to be weak in connections, and the direct line has withered, and it is not the same as other families in Longnan who have married each other. Emperor Yuande only took action. Other aristocratic clans have been deeply rooted, and even if they kill the family in charge, it is difficult to shake the foundation. In addition to grasping one land, these aristocratic clans also opened many academies, and all scholars all over the world came out of it. They can be said to be the world, and they have mastered the verbal trends in the court. Even Emperor Yuande was very afraid.
Another thing about this report was that around the winter solstice, the palace had a conflict with the Baili Chen family. Emperor Yuande chose a place with excellent Feng Shui, and wanted to build a palace and build an observatory. This was personally selected by the Taoist of Qianqing. But half of the place was the sacrificial field of the Baili Chen family. Emperor Yuande refused to give in and occupied the land with force first, and then allocated silver. Although the Chen family had no army, the aristocratic family was one. This time, he went to Beijing to join forces to join the aristocratic tribes in the two places in Longnan, and wanted to ask Emperor Yuande for an explanation.
The land is coming, and it is impossible to give it out again, but the aristocratic clans are really troublesome. This time they also mentioned the affairs of the Qiao family many years ago. Now the Qiao family is only left with some branches and they dare not fight with Emperor Yuande. But the others are not fools. They just saw that the Qiao family's bloodline was broken and they could not recover in the future, so they would just endure it.
At this time, the old story was brought up again, just to force Emperor Yuande.
Emperor Yuande had a headache for a long time and could not think of a solution. He was unwilling to give it to the land, and he could not return to the Qiao family and return to Longnan.
Jing Yan wrote a letter to report to Qiao Yu at this time. He said that when the Eastern Palace was sealed, Qiao Yu was lured to the side of the road. After comforting him for a few words, he would suffocate him to death. Fortunately, it was raining at that time, the ground was wet and slippery, so Qiao Yu barely escaped, but there was no way out, so he got into the little eunuch and finally entered the Taiqing Palace.
He had been preparing for a long time, from inciting aristocratic family to entering Beijing to vague evidence, he had everything. He even entrusted something not long ago, but did not refuse, which was related to Qiao Yu's life, so he dared not refuse.
What's more, what Jing Yan said was half true and half false, but it happened to be in the same old thing as six years ago. At that time, Feng Nannan wanted Jing Yan's life and added more charges to him. He buried a body under the hill pavilion of the East Palace, and was finally discovered by Emperor Yuande and left. But if there was a real body, why bother to find a fake one? If Feng Nannan sent someone to capture Qiao Yu, Qiao Yu ran away by himself, which was more reasonable.
Emperor Yuande believed six or seven points when he thought of this weight, but that was all. He was a little fatter than before, but he was just breathing heavily when he spoke, and he supported himself with his body. Looking at Jing Yan, he had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, "This is a coincidence. Qiao Yu entered the eunuch's office and could go to Taiqing Palace."
Jing Yan was not too slow, and he did not even avenge the crime, but just explained: "My son grew up with Qiao Yu since childhood, and his deep affection and friendship are no different from ordinary brothers. He risked the crime of being ruthless back then, but he just wanted to spend his life with Mr. Chen in the cold palace."
Qiao Yu is now an important person and has to use him to appease the clans of Longnan. So no matter what, at least for the time being, Emperor Yuande will never touch him, and will praise him greatly to show his own words. He smiled when he heard this, "He is a very good child. He was only a little older six years ago and had such a righteous act, so he really deserves to be praised. It's better to do this. I will meet him tomorrow and reward him for his loyalty over the years. After all, he is also an orphan of the Qiao family in Longnan, and he is always different from others. When the reward is over, you will take him to meet the people from the Chen family so that they will not worry too much."
All of these were Jing Yan's expectations. He responded to the order and heard Emperor Yuande's voice gloomy and a hint of mockery that was difficult to detect. "I didn't expect that you have such a deep relationship with him. Why don't you tell them too at that time?"
Jing Yan didn't say anything anymore.
So Qiao Yu got this news that night, and it exploded in front of him like thunder.
After so many years, he was not much courageous and asked tremblingly: "What should I do? I haven't seen His Majesty yet, and I still have to talk..."
In Qiao Yu's heart, Emperor Yuande was a very terrifying person. He forced Empress Chen to death and imprisoned the prince. He could determine the life and death of others with just one word, without any scruples.
Jing Yan touched his head, and it was light and slow, "What are you afraid of? With me here, what can happen?"
Qiao Yu looked at him with a gaze and finally nodded silently.
He fell asleep while chanting this sentence, and dreaming was the words that only a few words. Jing Yan, who was standing beside him, couldn't laugh or cry.
Jing Yan couldn't help but think that he was so timid. If he told him to be the queen in the future, he wouldn't know what he would be scared to be.
Will you be too afraid to refuse?
Jing Yan looked at Qiao Yu lying on his shoulders, sleeping soundly, and wondered, how could he refuse? Then he would have to ask for it if he didn't want it.
The next day was a sunny day. Qiao Yu didn't have to wear the eunuch's clothes anymore. She picked a red winter clothes, wore a bright blue cloak, her long hair was scattered, and a hairpin made of Hetian jade was inserted. He had been a eunuch for six years, but he was not used to it. He took a curious look in front of the bronze mirror and turned around. He was much more romantic than the children of the aristocratic families in Chengchun, Jiangnan. This was impossible. No one could compare to anyone who made him look so good.
Qiao Yu dreamed of something when she was young all night yesterday. He asked Jing Yan, "I am so romantic or not. Will I be embarrassed to see the Chen family?" He still remembers that when he was a child, Chen Yinyang, the eldest grandson of the Chen family, looked down on him very much, saying that he was so thin and did not study hard. When he grew up, he was also a playboy at the bottom of the family, and he couldn't be romantic. Qiao Yu had a bad memory, but he remembered the hatred very deeply, and he had been unforgettable for so many years.
Jing Yan comforted him, "I saw them, no one is more romantic than you. Don't be afraid, just follow the answer I told you yesterday. It doesn't matter if you can't answer it. It will take years for you to remember it and it won't be clear."
He grabbed Qiao Yu's hand and said those words softly, "I have everything."
Qiao Yu stared at Jing Yan in a daze. He actually couldn't care about his appearance now. He said those words just to relieve his nervousness. He didn't want Jing Yan to see it, but his Aci was too powerful and knew everything.
"I have everything."
Yes, for Qiao Yu, having Jingyan means everything, and he doesn't have to be afraid of anything anymore.
The journey between the Xianlin Palace and the Daming Palace is not far away. Soon, the two of them arrived in front of the Daming Palace accompanied by a large group of people. Jing Yan led Qiao Yu in. The structure of the Daming Palace was repeated, with many doors, and there were nowhere to be seen. Qiao Yu dared not make a mistake at all, for fear that something might happen here.
After a few rounds, Qiao Yu finally saw Emperor Yuande. He just glanced at him with his eyes and knelt down immediately and gave a big gift. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating, but inexplicably thought that Emperor Yuande was not that scary. He always thought that Emperor Yuande should have such a fierce look after doing so many cruel and ferocious things, but at the glance just now, he was just an old man in twilight.
Emperor Yuande asked Qiao Yu to get up and approached. When Jing Yan exposed this matter yesterday, he immediately asked the secret guard to investigate it. Naturally, Jing Yan wanted him to see it, but the evidence could not be perfect, and there were still slight flaws, so he was satisfied and completed in advance.
He knew that Chen Sang wanted the prince to die, but he could not remain indifferent to Qiao Yu's affairs.
So today, Emperor Yuan De believed it. He had no impression of Qiao Yu at first, but now it is different. He wants to use Qiao Yu to fill the mouths of those aristocratic races.
Emperor Yuande praised Qiao Yu, also known as a young hero, with affection and righteousness. Qiao Yu ran away from the gods, focused on the body of Xu Xin, and was brave enough to stick out his tongue at him.
The satisfied smile was frozen.
What is important is not the person Qiao Yu, but his current identity. Emperor Yuande carefully instructed Qiao Yu how to meet the Chen family next and how to be deeply favored by the emperor. After a while, he was able to announce his decree with satisfaction.
Qiao Yu retreated, knelt behind Jing Yan, and then slowly retreated after receiving the order.
The sky outside was already dark, the lights of the Daming Palace were brightly lit, and there were a vast array of eunuchs and guards in front of the door.
They were standing in the backlight. Jing Yan naturally took Qiao Yu's hand, and the palm was sweating that had not yet dried. He chuckled gently, "Are you still so scared? Are you sweating behind you?"
Qiao Yu retorted, "No. I was a little scared at first, but when I looked up, I could see Your Highness in front of me, and I was no longer afraid of anything."
This is the truth. When he first met Emperor Yuande, he was still scared even if he just knelt down there and listened. But Jing Yan was also in front of him. His back was very wide and extremely strong, and he could not defeat anything, and he was protecting himself at this moment.
Jing Yan asked all the guards and eunuchs to go back first, picked up a small path, and took Qiao Yu slowly back.
Qiao Yu has never kneeled down, and her body is not very good. After walking two steps, her knees hurt so much and her pace has slowed down a lot.
Just as he was thinking about why the road was so long and he couldn't get the end no matter how hard he walked, Jing Yan bent down and half-squatted in front of Qiao Yu, turned his head and smiled slightly, "Come up, I'll carry you back."
Qiao Yu hesitated for a blink of an eye and then rushed forward happily. Jing Yan often hugged him, but his back was very few, and he was different from his back, and he was different from his back.
Jing Yan was carrying him on his back, as if he had no effort and caring very seriously, and walked step by step on the path not far from the lake. A circle of colorful lights were placed on the ice surface beside the lake, and the path in front of him was faintly illuminated by the dead trees and weeds, vaguely, and you had to see it clearly with great care.
Qiao Yu's face was pressed against Jing Yan's back, and the one was hot, and he asked softly: "Your Highness, will it be Qiao Yu again in the future? No need to be the little eunuch Liangyu anymore."
Jing Yan smiled, responded to a "Yeah" from his throat, and said slowly: "Do you feel wronged and regretful? You have been a little eunuch Liangyu who has been a young eunuch for many years?"
Qiao Yu pursed her lips, "The thing I regret the most in my life is to be the little eunuch Liangyu."
After saying that, he climbed up, his chin against the other party's thick shoulder, his cheeks pressed against his cheeks, and said angrily: "Aci is so bad. He knows that I don't regret it and don't feel wronged, but he insists that I say such things and refute it to you. Is this very nice thing? You keep teasing me."
Because they were too close, Qiao Yu's soft and wet lips moved with the pace, and they always accidentally touched Jing Yan's aerials, sometimes close and sometimes far.
It was too soft, and with just a little touch, you could feel the wonderful taste in it.
Jing Yan's throat was tight. He rarely lost his composure and could not control his emotions. At this time, he even had a hoarse voice, "Xiaoyu, don't move around."
Qiao Yu was unyielding, unyielding, and even putting her closer together. Her breath was completely immersed in Jing Yan's ears, "Is it right?"
Jing Yan sighed and couldn't do anything to him, "Well, yes. So Xiaoyu will tell me more in the future."
Qiao Yu finally calmed down. His entire upper body was close to Jing Yan's back, rising and falling, and the two seemed to merge into one, and nothing could tell them to separate.
After returning to the Xianlin Palace, Jinfu served them for dinner. As soon as Qiao Yu took off her clothes, she crawled on the bed to read a book. He lay on the quilt, his shirt was very thin and scattered, with all the thin white skin on his waist exposed outside, and it was red. There was a shallow waist in it, which was so sunken, as if attracting someone else's kiss.
Jing Yan should kiss him, but not now.
Maybe because he was too tired, Qiao Yu fell asleep on his own not long after.
Jinfu sent the news of today in. Just as she saw Jing Yan holding Qiao Yu, she moved him into the quilt, her movements were light and gentle.
She used to dare not say anything to Jing Yan. Jing Yan was a good master, but no one could guess what he thought. Jin Fu was worried about saying too much and making mistakes, so she simply did not say anything and did things. But later, after following Qiao Yu, she saw Jing Yan and Qiao Yu together for a long time, so she dared to say a few jokes to Jing Yan, "Your Highness treats the young master so well, but he never says it out loud. When will you be able to bring a beautiful woman back? It is said that you are starting a family and establishing a career. Your Highness will accomplish great things, and then you will become a career and start a family."
Jing Yan was not as sinister as usual. When dealing with Qiao Yu, he had always been a little gentler than others. He just smiled and put on the quilt for Qiao Yu, with deep eyes, "He is still young, and now he is messy, why are you anxious?"
The left and right were by his side and couldn't run out.
Jinfu stopped mentioning it and muttered in her heart. Of course she was not in a hurry. Aren’t she afraid that her master would be anxious?
A few days later, Qiao Yu went to see the Chen family with full of favor. Chen Yinyang really came. He was elegant and polite, and he was like two people when he was a child.
Qiao Yu was like a mascot, walking around in front of those people twice. The Chen family regretted it. It turned out that they just wanted to find more reasons, but now it has become a reason to block their mouths. They couldn't have any sincerity when they treated Qiao Yu, but they just praised him in a false way.
Before leaving that night, Qiao Yu said goodbye to Chen Yinyang. He heard a very light sentence that rang in his ears, "Why don't you die? Living is troublesome, isn't it good if you die?"
Only Qiao Yu heard that sentence. He looked up and looked at Chen Yinyang. The handsome young man smiled at him, as if he had said nothing just now, but his eyes were full of mockery, as if he was warning Qiao Yu that he had no evidence.
Then Qiao Yu found Jing Yan from the crowd and immediately made a lawsuit. He never needed any evidence to complain to Jing Yan. As long as it was what he said, Jing Yan did not improperly take it.
Later, Qiao Yu never went there again. He just heard that Chen Yinyang seemed to be commented on because he could not answer Emperor Yuande’s question in front of the hall, "It is hard to lose his reputation."
Even Qiao Yu could hear this from the little eunuch who was sweeping the floor without deliberately asking about it, probably spreading throughout the harem.
The affairs of the harem have always been unable to be concealed by the previous dynasty.
Qiao Yu is still alive and grows up and can support the affairs of the family, which is much faster than this incident.
The Fujia County Lord who practiced in the ancient temple on the mountain learned about it half a month later. When she heard the news, she couldn't stay in the ancient temple anymore and immediately called a carriage to return to Beijing.
Her Xiaoyu is not dead, and she is still living in this world.
The Fujia County Lord only wanted to see Qiao Yu, but Qiao Yu could not be seen easily in the deep palace. The Fujia County Lord's parents had long been both dead. She was a county lord with no power and power, and the Feng family could not write a letter to her. She handed over the letter to her again and again every day, hoping that Emperor Yuande could see it and approve it once to satisfy her only wish.
The Lord of Fujia County has long lost relatives in this world. Feng Jiayi married far away from Longnan and did not even see the bones. He also thought that Qiao Yu died in the palace and was extremely discouraged and had no worries. But she was a very stubborn and strong person. The Buddhist scriptures also said that those who committed suicide are guilty and cannot be saved. After her death, she could not even see the person she missed, so she struggled to support herself in this world, eating vegetarian food and chanting blessings every day, and praying for the rebirth of Feng Jiayi and Qiao Yu.
But now it's different.
Emperor Yuande would not even read those remembrances, but the Fujia County Lord was very informed, so Jing Yan knew about it first. He asked someone to check it for a long time. The Fujia County Lord was indeed full of Qiao Yu, so he was ready to let them meet.
Because Jing Yan knew that Qiao Yu still missed his grandmother and relatives very much, although he never said that.
To be continued...
