Chapter 66: Indulge in the Buddha
Chapter 66: Indulge in the Buddha
The pigeon made a long "coo" sound, flapped its wings a few times, and disappeared into the vast sky.
From then on, Zhao Ning sat in the backyard waiting for the pigeon's reply.
At dusk, the carrier pigeon finally returned with the news.
Zhao Ning opened his arms, and the carrier pigeon landed steadily on his heart. He could not wait to open the message, and after a brief glance, he immediately ordered the servants to bathe and change his clothes for him.
Tonight, he will sneak into the palace to meet the Queen Mother...
In the dark night, in the back hall of Mingjing Hall.
Fang Kexin had been waiting in the hall.
In the morning, she received the news from Zhao Lang and was immediately delighted.
She hadn't seen Zhao Ning for many days, and today he finally let her know and asked her out for a tryst. Thinking of this, her face flushed and she was excited.
Fang Kexin hurriedly stood in front of the huge custom-made bronze mirror, twisting her waist back and forth.
"Ruoqing, please help me take a look. I always feel that my waist is not as slender as usual recently. Can you take a look and see if it's true?"
Ruoqing looked at Fang Kexin's little girl-like expression and felt as happy as she did.
"The Queen Mother is still as beautiful as usual, and her waist is as slender as usual!"
"However, even if the queen is a little fatter, she is still a plump beauty like Concubine Yang!"
Fang Kexin was amused by Ruoqing's sweet words. She gently tapped Ruoqing's forehead and said with a smile:
"You, you only know how to make me happy~"
Before the Queen Mother went to Mingjing Hall, she spent the whole afternoon bathing and taking care of her skin. Before going out, she chose her palace dress, fiddled with her hairpins and rings, and spent a long time dressing in front of the mirror.
She finally decided to wear a silver tulle tube top palace dress, which not only made her look mature and beautiful, but also added a bit of romance.
At this time, she was sitting in the Mingjing Hall waiting quietly. Her favorite rose incense had been arranged in the hall in advance, and she only brought her beloved lover to the door.
Suddenly, there was a creaking sound, and the back door of the hall opened a crack.
Fang Kexin couldn't wait to run to the palace door and hugged the figure that flashed in.
"Zhao Lang, why did you come just now? I missed you so much~"
The Queen Mother and Zhao Ning were both in their forties, but when the two met, their passion for each other was so intense that even young people in their twenties would be amazed.
Especially in this bright and clean hall.
This was originally a holy place where the late emperor worshipped Buddha, but now it has become a love room for the two of them to meet at night.
Not only Fang Kexin was impulsive, Zhao Ning was also overwhelmed with emotion when he saw Fang Kexin.
Fang Kexin was Zhao Ning's childhood sweetheart. When he learned that she was going to enter the palace, he was depressed for a long time. He never thought that many years later, after the death of the late emperor, he would be able to renew his relationship with her!
The two of them were in the bright and clean hall, indulging themselves in each other's pleasure and being in perfect harmony.
There were traces of the two of them in front of the window, on the desk, on the bed, and even at the feet of the Buddha statue.
After a long time.
The moans in the house finally stopped.
Zhao Ning lay on the couch with his legs spread out, panting. Fang Kexin lay on his chest, the blush on her body had not yet faded, and she was panting slightly.
Zhao Ning's big hand gently stroked the woman's back. He hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke:
"Ke Xin, I'm afraid I have to break my promise to you."
At this moment, Fang Ke's mind was still unsettled, and he was still immersed in the intensity of what had just happened.
When she was confused and fascinated just now, she couldn't help murmuring:
"Zhao Lang, please, I want to give birth to a child for you..."
But Zhao Lang ignored her request just now. He still retained a trace of rationality and finally resisted the last impulse.
So when Zhao Ning broke his promise, Fang Kexin thought it was about the matter of descendants.
She sighed slightly.
"It's fine if you break your promise, but as long as you have me in your heart and come to see me often, I will be satisfied."
Zhao Ning was stunned. He didn't expect that Fang Kexin, who had always been so aggressive in pursuing him, would agree so easily.
He hugged the beauty in his arms and whispered to her excitedly.
"Thank you, Kexin."
"I really didn't mean to not give you the statue, but Li Xuansheng is watching too closely right now, and I really can't guarantee whether I can get that much silver next year."
what?
Fang Kexin's body trembled and she looked up suddenly.
What statue? He's not talking about that incident?!
She woke up in an instant.
She likes love and affection, but she likes gold, silver and treasures even more.
Such a huge pure gold statue, Zhao Ning just said he wouldn’t give it to me?
Fang Kexin's tender smile suddenly darkened. She pulled the palace dress off the hanger to cover her body, and angrily scolded Zhao Ning.
"Zhao Ning!"
"Don't you love me anymore?!"
"Now you won't even give me the statue, right?!"
"This statue is only worth a few silver coins!"
When Zhao Ning saw her angry, he suddenly panicked.
In the past, when he tried to stop Fang Kexin from entering the palace, she also got as angry as she did tonight.
He couldn't bear to see his beloved angry, so he quickly explained to her in a low voice.
"Ke Xin, don't be angry."
"Now the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry have changed their people. If I continue with my previous activities, I'm afraid I'll be severely criticized by those people."
"By then, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my official position, let alone the statue."
Every word Zhao Ning spoke was sincere, and his eyes were full of pleading.
However, Fang Kexin didn't buy his account at all.
When the late emperor was alive, she believed that wherever the late emperor's reward was, there his love would be.
Now that I follow Zhao Ning, I still adhere to this philosophy.
She was the queen mother, and she could have as many actors and actresses as she wanted, who were younger, more handsome, and stronger than Zhao Ning.
The reason why she chose Zhao Ning, in addition to the friendship between childhood sweethearts, was that she valued the gold and silver Zhao Ning gave her every year, which allowed her to supplement the Fang family.
The Fang family was not a noble family, they were weak and lonely in the capital. Next year, his younger brother Fang Kejun would be of engagement age, and the Fang family was counting on her, the Queen Mother, to come up with a betrothal gift!
At this critical moment, something went wrong with Zhao Ning, and she couldn't tolerate it!
Fang Kexin slapped Zhao Ning with her wide gauze sleeves.
"I don't care! Zhao Lang, you already promised me!"
"If you are not willing to give me the statue, don't come to see me in the palace anymore!"
After saying that, she put her palace clothes back on one by one. No matter how Zhao Ning tried to stop her, Fang Kexin refused to continue being affectionate with him.
Zhao Ning sat slumped on the bed in Mingjing Hall with a bitter face. He couldn't understand why Ke Xin was always angry with him?
He has been outside the palace for many years.
Back then, he and his wife had a daughter, Concubine Shu, only to prove his ability and shut up his relatives.
Later, she took in several concubines, all of whom were placed in the mansion as decorations in order to preserve her reputation as a virtuous woman.
Zhao Ning has been thinking about Fang Kexin for all these years.
Now that he has finally gotten it again, he doesn't want to lose it again, and doesn't want to go through the pain of loss and despair again.
He would rather take the risk than let Ke Xin be disappointed in him again.
He murmured:
"Well, since Ke Xin likes it, I'll do it."
