Chapter 168: Flowers bloom only for results

The sky was a little dark, and the lights stood on the small table and shook them gently. Women in the front yard and middle hall were dressed in different colors, and women were smiling and whispering around, or gently peeking at the dark young man under the lights. Some people also saw the oil lamp dim, kicked the hem of the skirt and slapped them over, took a small branch and tweeted them gently.

The lights are gradually brightening.

The first woman on the left side was wearing Bu Yao's hair, and her eyes were filled with wet red, looking at Geng Qing, mostly grateful and kind.

Before, Geng Qing was invited to the central hall, and the woman heard from him that the death of the Huang Thief was heard, and stood up and saluted the young man. Geng Qing stepped forward to support him, but she pushed him away, saying that this was a must-do.

One is to thank Geng Qing for avenging her husband Yu Cong, and the other is to eliminate this disaster for the Li family and the Tang Dynasty.

After thanking her, the woman walked to the middle, took the sandalwood handed over by a concubine, and silently recited something. Then she inserted her son-in-law Yu Cong's spiritual position, closed her hands and bowed, and then sat back.

"Ji Chang worked hard and was willing to commit suicide by swearing and committing his own efforts to tackle the thief, so he was able to make such a plan to drive this yellow thief to the end. When Your Majesty returns to the court, the master's wife will not make you wronged no matter what. I just don't know where Your Majesty has been and when will he be able to go to Chang'an?"

As the emperor's aunt and the Li family clan, it was not inappropriate to ask where the emperor was now. If you stayed in this house all day, the news would naturally be unfamiliar.

Geng Qing put down the tea and answered truthfully, smiling and said, "My wife, don't worry, people travel long distances, just walk step by step. At present, Qing has informed his subordinates that His Majesty had already left Hanzhong two days ago, and the mountain road is dangerous. I am afraid that I will wait until next month when I return to the court."

Hearing this sentence, Princess Guangde smiled and her body relaxed a little. The concubines sitting around her smiled even more, and she chattered, "You can go back to the palace." "Your Majesty doesn't know if you are thin." There was also a woman in the words hesitant, pinching her handkerchief and looking away. Occasionally, she would glance at Geng Qing in front of her from the corner of her eyes.

The concubines here, Geng Qing knew that they were all daughters of noble relatives in the city, and some of them were probably gone, so they were raised in the boudoir again. When they were old, they entered the palace again, and had many rules and regulations. In the two years of this house, many women were used to this kind of freedom, talking casually, laughing, and fighting each other. When they returned to the palace, they had to be bound by rules, so some were naturally hesitant.

Geng Qing thought, keeping a smile on his face. Now that the emperor is coming back, he should keep a distance from them. He had some jokes before, but he should take them back, so as to avoid trouble in the future.

"Master's wife, concubines, Qing came here this time, in addition to telling you the news, there is actually something else to say."

"What's the matter?" Princess Guangde looked at him, raised her hand, and signaled the joking concubines to stop.

Li Huan was quite prestigious among the women. When he saw the woman raising his hand, he stopped and joked, looking at Geng Qing one by one. The latter took a breath, brushed his broad sleeves, and stood up to bow to them.

"This is to say goodbye to all the concubines. After being entrusted by the Grand Chief, you can finally hand over your errands. After returning to the palace, you must not say the word "husband". This is used to confuse the yellow thief. After Your Majesty returns to the court, you can no longer talk about it and annoy the emperor."

Even though the girls around him were always joking with him, they gradually curled their smiles and remained silent for a while before nodding in response.

The people who have lived in the house for two years and who have been with him for a long time will leave soon. Many of them may never be able to meet each other. Even if they are lucky enough to leave the palace in the future, they will not have the chance to take a look at the house from afar.

As a woman, Princess Guangde is also a little sad. She is a person who has experienced it. She knows what is sad about these girls. If she doesn’t scold her, she will regard it as one of the many regrets in her life.

In a quiet state, Geng Qing bowed heavily. Now that the matter is over, he has only stopped for too long. He bowed to Li Huan and said goodbye and left. When he stepped out of the threshold, a 'Husband!' suddenly sounded in the middle hall behind him.

Geng Qing stood under the eaves and turned around, and saw women in the hall, getting up and walking to the door, gathered together, and the concubine who was talking smiled and gave a gift.

"Send your husband."

The other women had tears on their eyes, and they all lowered their bodies and gave them a blessing, saying in unison: "Send your husband, I hope you will be healthy!"

This is the last time.

Geng Qing had a little sore throat in his throat and his nose was also sour. Looking at the group of women, he remembered the time when Huang Chao came over. It was really dangerous...

Thoughts floated, he came to his senses, turned around and raised his sleeves, bowed to them.

"Qing, I hope all wives are healthy and stay."

After saying that, he straightened his back and stopped looking at it. He stepped down the stone steps and walked out of the yard. Dachun was puzzled and got on the carriage and urged him to leave.

After that, Geng Qing stopped coming here. Jiuyu returned to the palace and took people to clean the palace. After he took the carriage from the palace to Guangdefang. Li Huan presided over, he sent more than 20 concubines back to the palace. Before leaving, the girls waited in the courtyard for a long time, but Geng Qing did not appear. After Jiuyu urged Moyao to miss the good time to enter the palace, he rode on the carriage with a little disappointment and slowly drove away from the courtyard where he had lived for two years.

The white walls and black tiles of the courtyard, the old pine in the courtyard, and the carefully cared for the flowerbeds turned into red palace walls in the woman's sight. The tall palaces were deserted and the smell of human feelings were missing.

Many of these women may never see the scenery outside for most of their lives.

As for Geng Qing's reading of many sad books, he would not be upset about these things, and would restrain himself. When he was idle, he began to think about his old career again. He read books under the tree in the early morning, or pushed his father out for a few walks. After he came back, he took the carpenter's tools, digged the wood, and outlined the drawings. In Dou Wei's words, the gentleman started to build torture tools again, but he didn't know what kind of thing he would make this time.

Dachun, Qin Huaimian, and Zhao Hongjun even secretly opened a private handicap, pulling the gang members in the yard to bet on several people this time, but the three of them lost all their money to the gang members. Qin Huaimian and Zhao Hongjun were fine, and Dachun was chased by Widow Zhang with a broom and ran all over the yard...

Later, Qiao Niang said that the husband heard the blockage and made a temporary correction.

Geng Dachun was so angry that he kept silent in a carriage for several days. He almost ran into a shop on the street. Geng Qing was fined for half a month. Then, one night, Dachun slept alone outside the door of Widow Zhang with a bedding......

It was ordinary but lively at the end of the month. The troops of the governors of the towns who set out to fight back to Beijing and stationed outside the city one after another.

There were Li Cunxiao's figures in the courtyard from time to time. Whenever he had time, he would run out of the military camp, or follow Li Keyong into the city to discuss matters with his former ministers. He would skip work and run over halfway, pull Geng Qing to talk, or help Wang Jinqiu and Geng to do something. In this way, he even pushed Geng away and passed a brothel...

Old Man Geng was so scared that he pushed two wheels and fled quickly across the long street. For this matter, Wang Jinqiu pulled Li Cunxiao and blocked his ears in the middle hall and cursed for a long time, and Geng Qing also stood in the condemnation queue.

The powerful general who was charging into battle knelt on the cushion with his head hanging down, and did not dare to say a word. It seemed that no one had scolded him like this for a long time, and his lips curled up and felt that it felt like home.

Of course, Bai Yunxiang and Qiaoniang also complained about him, especially Bai Yunxiang, the houses in the yard were already nervous. Li Cunxiao had to stay overnight when he came. He squeezed into the same bed with Geng Qing several times, which made the woman roll her eyes when she saw him coming.

The lively days passed day by day. After the end of the month, the day when the February Dragon raised its head, the news of the emperor's return to the court had spread in the city, and the convoy had entered the Chang'an area.

On the day we entered the city, almost half of the people in Chang'an ran over and gathered several streets inside Mingdemen, looking out on three floors inside and three floors outside. The staff from Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice were nervously maintaining order on the street and driving the people not to go downstairs.

On that day, Geng Qing had booked a restaurant early and brought the old and young people over. Even if he was on the third floor, he could only barely see the back of the head of the person in front of him. Soon, a voice outside shouted: "I've entered the city, Your Majesty has entered the city!"

The crowd was surging, and many people shouted loudly for the long live the emperor. The powerful words of the Tang Dynasty were shocking, and the ears were so painful. Geng Qing looked at the gap. All he could see was a canopy, and Li Cunxiao rode on his red horse behind him, and looked around majestic. He didn't know whether it was the intuition of a warrior or whether he knew Geng Qing's position in advance. He actually smiled at the third floor here, holding the Yu King spear and following the "long dragon" who was protecting his horse.

The scene of Emperor Zibao entering the city was over. The crowd excitedly said what they saw today, leaving in groups of three or three. Geng Qing tidied up his clothes, pushed his sleepy father, and called Wang Jinqiu, Dachun, Qiaoniang and others who were having tea and eating there, and followed him downstairs to take a car away.

‘It’s time to reward me...’

Geng Qingqing said.

Sure enough, two days later, two eunuchs with faces came to the palace, and told him to come to the palace to meet the saint on the fifth day of tomorrow.
