Early in the morning, most Yingying and Yanyan in Xuanyuan Harem got up.
This early in the morning, very early - the end of the ugly time.
There is no way, because the new empress has passed down a decree that she has to get up and do exercises at Yinshi, and after she finishes exercising, she probably needs to take a bath and rest, and the time when she rests is usually the usual time of Chenshi, but it is not possible, it is more important for her to sleep, so Girls, don't sleep, anyway, in the days when there were no queens, you slept too much when you were lazy.
As a result, the concubines and concubines who were used to waking up again when the sun was shining were struggling in all kinds of pain. They had to get up when they were ugly, and it took an hour to do their makeup, which was equivalent to a night without sleep.
Of course, just as there is no lack of brain damage and rebellion in any era, Xuanyuan Harem naturally also has pioneers who are mavericks and reject kitsch.
The pacesetter of this era is the most beloved virtuous concubine before the new queen enters the palace.
Concubine Gao, after Xuanyuan's founding of the country, is the daughter of the king of Xiping County with a different surname. This prince is known for his profound understanding of righteousness and flexible vision. Xuanyuan Sheng, and then, is still a close friend.
The regent is naturally very kind to the Gao family, and even Concubine Gao Xian is hidden in the palace as the lord of the six palaces, walking sideways, looking at people with her nose, and the palace people around her are like cutting leeks. Either he died, or he was sent to such a miserable place as the Huanyi Department, so that when the court ladies and eunuchs heard that they were going to enter the Jingchun Palace, it was as if they were given poisonous wine, and they quickly held hands with their friendly companions and looked at the tears in their eyes, saying goodbye forever.
The whole palace has been bullied by the concubine Xian for a long time, and when the new queen entered the palace, it was natural to take the opportunity to blow the wind, expecting the new queen who was said to have a strong temper to take care of her, but the new queen seemed to be asleep, and replied lightly: "Oh. "
Everyone was disappointed—it turned out to be a display too.
The first time I met the queen, I was supposed to have to climb up, but Concubine Xian sent a maid to come the day before, saying that she was not feeling well, and she would come another day to pay her respects to the queen's sister.
At that time Meng Fuyao heard it, smiled and said: "Tell your master, if you are sick, you should be treated, go."
The maid went back and recounted it as it was. Concubine Gao Xian, dressed in beautiful clothes, was standing leisurely in front of the window admiring flowers—her palace has a special greenhouse, and the top domestic gardeners come to the palace to cultivate them every day. Those flowers that are staggered in season It often blooms in front of her silver-red organdy-wing gauze and precious window paper, competing for splendor and splendor in a room. The concubine Xian does not need to get up, and she can smell the fragrance of various flowers that are impossible to smell in the cold winter months in her bedroom.
But she was not in a good mood today - her favorite peony flower, but the gardener couldn't make it bloom, so in a rage, she made the gardener into flower fertilizer and ordered the eunuchs to find another good gardener.
When the court lady relayed the queen's decree, she raised the corners of her lips, sneered, stretched out her finger wearing a sapphire glove, and gently pinched off a green chrysanthemum that had been cultivated with great difficulty.
She slowly tore the precious chrysanthemum petal by petal until it became bare stems, and then said calmly: "For she knows the current affairs."
Then she went to bed, and she was going to wake up at the end of the day as usual tomorrow morning.
At the end of the Chou Era, the concubines of all the palaces had already arrived at Chongxing Palace, the Queen's bedroom. Those above the noble concubine had a seat in the outer hall, and those below the concubine could only kneel and wait in the courtyard. The winter night was heavy and the sky was turning to snow, facing the cold The wind knelt in the hallway, only turning a group of pampered harem women into shivering weeds in the wind.
In the outer hall, although the smell of pepper mud, warm charcoal and blazing fire could not bear the crime, Meng Fuyao would not let them relax, and he had other sins—the noble women sat stiffly, and the jade concubine Jianxue felt uncomfortable all over. Her head was half lowered—her position was arranged very strangely, the first imperial concubine Tang Yiguang on the left, the first German concubine Hua Zhirong on the right, her second from the left, and the second Shu concubine Situ Linyun on the right.
It's just... a mess.
According to the order of the four noble and virtuous concubines, except Tang Yiguang's position is correct, the other three are all wrong, and she should have been ranked third from the left, but now she has taken the position of the virtuous concubine.
Concubine Gao Xian must know about this, another disturbance, Jian Xue moaned in her heart, who said that the new empress is a soft and simple person? Before she appeared, the seat arranged by the nanny had already pushed her and Hua Zhirong to the opposite of everyone, and even pushed her in front of Concubine Gao Xian.
At this moment, she was shrouded in the strange eyes of the concubines, fidgeting like needles all over her body. Seeing that Hua Zhirong didn't care, Tang Yiguang just ate the snacks in his sleeves, and couldn't help sneering secretly, she really didn't know how to live or die!
Then I thought of sending supplements to Yu Wenzi that day, but afterwards I sneezed inexplicably after the election, and missed the position of queen and fourth concubine. Could it be... Isn't that a coincidence
Thinking of this, Jian Xue couldn't help trembling.
Suddenly I heard Concubine Shu from the opposite side say with a smile: "Is sister Jian cold? It's very cold, so be careful."
Jian Xue reluctantly raised her head and said with a smile: "Sister Concubine Xie Shu is concerned, and please take care of your body, too."
Concubine Shu casually checked her well-maintained nails in front of the light, and said lightly: "I am a rough person, and I have always been able to withstand it, unlike my sister Yufei, who is made of real jade, who can't take the slightest cold, listen On the day after the election, my sister caught a cold?"
Jian Xue's complexion suddenly changed. The sneeze on the day after the election was a shame in her life, and these women really refused to let it go!
"Concubine Yu is really a delicate person. No wonder His Majesty is so tender and pitiful. Hearing that a snot hit His Majesty's palm, His Majesty was not angry at all." A noble concubine at the bottom covered her mouth and smiled.
"That's Concubine Yu's meritorious deeds. Your Majesty loves you. If you and I look like pu willows, let alone a snotty nose, even if you speak with a little bit of teeth, it won't work."
"... Not everyone deserves to be a snotty concubine..."
"..."
Gossiping, laughing and feasting, women in the harem have always been the most boring biological group in the world. In addition to studying how to make themselves more beautiful, they also study how to make their opponents more embarrassing. They only pick the softest part of the enemy and poke hard.
Jian Xue was in the center of the siege, seeing the flood of ridicule pouring out of the sky, she was trembling with anger, and seeing Hua Zhirong watching the show coldly, Tang Yiguang foolishly eating snacks, feeling bitter in her heart, the three of them fell into the new trap at the same time, the two But she didn't know that Mutual Aid didn't realize it, leaving her to fight alone, why bother!
Looking at the surrounding hostility like snow, the two stupid ones who entered the palace in the same batch, and then thinking of the queen on the queen's throne who forced her into a dangerous situation with a single seat and has not been seen yet, Jian Xue felt cold in her heart, and instantly remembered Before entering the palace, what my grandmother, who is well-versed in literature and morality, is deeply enlightened in Dongrui, said.
"Don't be a fool to intervene in palace disputes. Xuanyuan's palace disputes are more dangerous than palace disputes in any country, because it is no longer a woman's fight for favor, but involves a country's imperial power. Now the situation is dark and turbulent. Your Majesty is not alone as you imagined. Everyone The family behind the concubine will be up and down in an instant, upside down, don't fight, if you are forced to fight, choose the most ruthless one to follow!"
Pick the toughest one...
In an instant, Jian Xue had already made a decision in her heart.
She raised her head gracefully, and said with a smile: "It's really embarrassing to say, but my sister caught a cold that day, and it was really intentional."
"Um?"
Jian Xue stood up, bowed solemnly to the throne, and said: "Ever since Jian Xue met the queen in the primary election, she felt that the queen is graceful and majestic, and her mother is all over the world. Jian Xue dared not compete with the queen, so she voluntarily backed down."
She spoke solemnly and sincerely, but all the concubines showed contempt and disbelief, ah bah, I've seen shameless sycophants, but I've never seen such shameless ones!
Jian Xue sat down with a smile on her face, she didn't move—it wasn't for you guys.
The dark tide in the outer hall was raging with swords and swords, but the hallway was a different scene. It was too cold to play tricks, and the concubines knelt for a long time without any movement. They all started to move around, the timid ones propped their hands on the mat and changed their legs and moved around, the brave ones just climbed up, leaned on the wall and moved their legs and feet, and there was a sound of stomping in the hallway.
"It's so cold, it's a tosser!"
"At least let's bake it in a charcoal stove."
"Come on, they want you to kneel down and return the charcoal stove!"
"I heard that this master was not favored in Changning Mansion back then? Most likely he knelt a lot when he was a child, and now the feng shui is turning, come and let us have a taste!"
"Sister, you are too polite. Sister, I am worried. Does this master know the charcoal stove? Don't tell me you haven't recognized all the things in the palace yet? Hehe..."
"whee… "
…
"hehe."
The sudden voice suddenly joined their discussion with great interest, and asked: "Charcoal stove, I heard that no charcoal stove is used in the north, just heat the kang."
"That's it," said Concubine Liu who was the most active. Although her father's official position was not high, she was a powerful figure in the court. Talking loudly, she leaned against the wall with her eyes closed and rubbed her waist, and said casually, "I heard that all the kangs in the north are big kangs. From one room to the other, men and women sleep together, rolling all over the floor."
"Ah... Really, there is still this way of sleeping?" The person continued to ask enthusiastically.
"Yes," Concubine Liu curled her lips disdainfully, "I don't know who will be on the kang where our empress sleeps? Brother? Brother? Grandpa? Haha."
She laughed happily, but she didn't notice that the surroundings had gradually calmed down, the chattering voices just now had all disappeared, and the atmosphere was strangely quiet.
"I think it's okay to sleep with my younger brother, but it's not so good with my grandpa." The person expressed his opinion sincerely.
"What do you know?" Concubine Liu twitched her thin lips, "Uncle, uncle is still being polite, father-in-law and his daughter-in-law are still under the quilt! The third young master of Yuwen's family in Changning Mansion committed suicide because of this. Yes? Family history haha," she put down her hand massaging her waist with a smile, turned her head and said, "Your sister is so innocent and cute..."
She choked suddenly and slowly opened her eyes wide.
Behind him, all the concubines and concubines in the courtyard had knelt back obediently, but there was one person, with no makeup, long hair in a simple high bun, wearing a simple and weird short dress, steaming from his head, looking at him with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. she.
Seeing her turn her head, the person smiled and said, "Say it, keep talking, why don't you say it?"
Concubine Liu trembled her lips—she saw her identity from the eyes around her and the accessories on the waist of the woman in front of her, and just now... just now... just now, what did she say when the queen teased her
Slowly thinking back to what she said just now, Concubine Liu shook like a thunderbolt, kneeled down as soon as her legs softened, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... this servant is ignorant... talking nonsense... this servant... this servant slaps her own mouth!" With a ruthless heart, he raised his hand and slapped himself. The sound of skin-to-flesh slaps was clear, and the kneeling concubines all bent down even deeper. Concubine Liu trembled, and looked up at Meng Fuyao beggingly.
Meng Fuyao put her hands behind her back, leaned slightly, looked at her with a smile on her face, and didn't speak.
Concubine Liu had no choice but to slap again. Meng Fuyao remained motionless, smiling, and didn't speak. She waited until her face was bruised and swollen, before she said slowly, "Sister Liu, why are you so panicked? Bengong ran around just now. You haven't even mixed your breath yet, and you slapped me before you can speak...why bother?"
"..."
Concubine Liu lay on the ground, bursting into tears, and heard the man say heartlessly: "Oh, look at this delicate skin and tender flesh, how ugly it is to be slapped..."
Concubine Liu lost all the strength to cry, lying on the ground with a faint resentment in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. Hearing the queen's footsteps, she seemed to want to leave the courtyard, she couldn't help but feel relieved, but saw the queen walking around leisurely. Circled, stood down slowly again, and said: "Oh, I have nothing to do with business."
All the girls didn't know why, Meng Fuyao was already asking the female officer beside him: "What crime is it for insulting the mother of the country?"
The female officer bowed: "Go back to your mother, and you will commit suicide, and your mother's family will be demoted."
She spoke calmly, and all the concubines trembled when they heard it, Concubine Liu looked back abruptly.
Meng Fuyao met her eyes with a smile, and said gently: "So I said, sister Liu, you are too active. What crime did you commit? You have to be punished by the law. Why rush to slap me? Look, Didn't you fight too much?"
commit suicide
The faces of all the concubines turned pale. Liu Bin, who never expected that a few words would cause her own death, raised her head in disbelief, and looked up at Meng Fuyao in horror. When she met Meng Fuyao's calm and cool eyes, her heart was full. She sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant, her mouth opened, and her whole body slowly trembled, shaking into chaff, shaking like a flag in the wind, trembling and trembling under Meng Fuyao's feet.
Meng Fuyao only looked at her with a smile - Liu Shilang heard that he doted on this daughter very much, and he was not very willing to send her into the palace at first, but now, what kind of thoughts do he have in his mind
"No—" Concubine Liu finally recovered from the huge blow, and rushed over, holding onto the corner of Meng Fuyao's clothes with tears streaming down her face, and kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the slave is guilty, Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive me—"
"Who said you're going to die?" Meng Fuyao's understatement stunned Concubine Liu again, and the repeated kneading made her lose all her strength, and she knelt down on the ground in a daze, listening to the empress' empress' sympathetic words : "It's good, God has the virtue of loving life. Although you speak rebelliously and humiliate my family, but just a few words will kill people. Not good... not good..."
Concubine Liu looked up at her blankly, wanting to be happy but not daring—who knows what terrible words will come out of that mouth
"But your mouth is really bad, very bad. I heard that you used to like to joke about palace affairs and relatives?" Meng Fuyao didn't look at her, and glanced at all the trembling concubines, " Talking too much, misfortune comes out of your mouth, sooner or later you will be killed, I can't bear you to die in the future, how about this, help you... "
She lazily flicked her sleeves and said, "Sew your mouth shut."
The whole room was silent, and there was a timid concubine who started to cry in fright, Concubine Liu slowly raised her head, looked at Meng Fuyao who was looking down with a smile, her body shook, and she passed out directly.
Meng Fuyao kicked her away, glanced at her, and beckoned to a woman: "Yang Chongrong, come here."
The woman who was called had a pale face and didn't dare to get up, she crawled over on her knees, bowed her head and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty..."
"Concubine Liu's mouth, please sew it up." Meng Fuyao said it as simply as eating, "Your sisters are good friends, so they naturally know the seriousness, and save people's rough hands and feet from hurting Sister Liu's face."
Yang Chongrong's complexion was even uglier than Liu Pin's, and he fell on the ground, struggling for a long while to say an inaudible sentence: "... yes."
"Go to the room over there, don't scare the younger sisters." Meng Fuyao nodded in satisfaction, and motioned for the eunuch to take them there, thought for a while, and said: "Primary lips are not very easy to sew, you can sear them and then sew them on." .”
She waved her hand, and an eunuch went in with a red-hot iron. The bright red hot thing flashed in the dark courtyard like bloodthirsty ghost eyes, and all the concubines bit their lips tightly, as if their own. The horrible thing was pressed on the skin, burning from the lips to the bottom of the heart, even the heart was scalded.
They held their breath and watched the eunuch close the door. After a while, there was a shrill scream with a different voice in the room.
That voice was crying blood, heart-piercing, the huge pain was like a terrifying black hole, taking people's minds upside down, and there was a faint smell of urine in the air, mixed with light blood breath.
There was a dead silence, Meng Fuyao didn't speak, and everyone in Chongxing Palace didn't speak, they kept absolutely quiet and listened appreciatively, leaving all the bloody, suffocating, oppressive, and heaviness of this moment to these pampered and privileged people who have never been given to them in the past. They are a little embarrassed concubine.
All the concubines knelt with pale faces, silent like cicadas, some concubines fainted directly, and some concubines gradually leaked ambiguous liquid from their bodies.
"boom-"
The door of the room that screamed and wailed in agony was suddenly knocked open, and Yang Chongrong ran out with disheveled hair, bloodshot eyes, messy clothes, and shouted: "I can't—I can't—forgive me—forgive me—"
She didn't salute to Meng Fuyao, and she didn't look at anyone, she ran out madly with her eyes straight, knocking over the courtyard door, knocking down the flower pots, hitting the water tank, causing her nose to be bruised, face swollen, and body wounded, but she didn't notice it. He stumbled and ran out desperately.
Meng Fuyao looked at it with his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "Yang Chongrong is too timid, send her back. There is no need to come out in the future."
All the concubines buried their heads in the dust and listened—the two concubines below the noble concubine, who were the most powerful and best friends of their natal family, and the two who walked closest to their natal family on weekdays and clung to His Majesty the most, were once in a lifetime by the empress. Sexual settlement, what the empress wanted to express, could not be more clear.
Standing on the steps, Meng Fuyao looked at Yang Chongrong who was rushing away, and frowned unnoticed—she didn't intend to be so vicious, just let Anmei scare them depending on the situation, he won't really do it something terrible
She stared at the courtyard full of Yingying Yanyan—they are really Yingying and Yanyan, they are all stunning, and they are absolutely worthy of the association of the title of concubine. It is definitely not like the photos of concubines in the harem of the Qing Dynasty. To destroy the world, when the regent chose concubines for Xuanyuanmin, the only criterion was beauty, and it was best to be so beautiful that the king could indulge in tenderness and gentleness. After all, these women were also pitiful people, victims of the family's maintenance and prosperity. Unable to conceive and have children, the only fun left is to chew one's tongue and be a secret agent.
Xuanyuanmin negotiated with her to make her the fake queen. In the end, he just didn’t want a real queen to tie him up. As for the other things, if he could control the legs and mouths of these concubines, and make these ubiquitous spies stop Stopping, that's naturally the best, it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter.
He didn't know the details of King Meng, and he didn't expect too much from her, but he didn't know that Meng Fuyao was someone easy to use? You use me, I use you, Datong, to see who is the tumbler in the political arena, and she just wants to use this queen status to change Xuanyuan's political situation as much as possible.
If you mess it up, you can't make it too messy, otherwise it will be a troublesome thing to hand over to Zong Yue in the future... Meng Jipo frowned very much and thought about it.
She was condescending and said lazily: "My sisters."
All the concubines kowtowed.
"Women in the harem should set an example for the world, and should be your Majesty's internal helpers. In the past, I was not here, so you should be more relaxed, but now you have to establish rules." Meng Fuyao said: "From now on, every two days, the younger sisters will come and meet with me. Together with the palace, embroidering and weaving cloth, hand-made, to bestow meritorious ministers, is also an extra royal favor."
Everyone secretly complained, do the work in person? Do it every other day? Embroidery is fine, weaving? These concubines who were born in the mansions of officials at all levels in the Xuanyuan court are all young ladies who are pampered and served at home. Why have they ever done such rough work? However, the queen's reason was aboveboard, not to mention that they couldn't resist, even if the regent came, they couldn't talk about the affairs of the harem.
Looking at the obedient concubines, Meng Fuyao nodded and said, "Let's go." Turning around and going straight into the inner hall, those few have probably finished their fight, right
Several high-ranking concubines had already seen what happened in the courtyard, and their arrogance had long been put away. They all looked at Meng Fuyao in panic, and were shocked by the cruel methods of the queen, but Meng Fuyao treated them with warmth like a spring breeze. After exchanging pleasantries all the way, he suddenly said, "Concubine Huagui."
The concubine Hua Gui who had satirized Jian Xue for being very proud before was trembling with shock at this call, and hurriedly left her seat and bowed.
"Yesterday, I heard from Your Majesty that there was a flood in the south at the end of summer, and your father was in charge of the household department, and the affairs of allocating money and disaster relief were in order. He is really a minister of the country. As a reward, I should give you a promotion." Meng Fuyao Smiling, "You can also be promoted to a concubine, and give her the name Hua."
"Thank you, ma'am!" Concubine Huagui was pleasantly surprised, and quickly thanked her.
Meng Fuyao raised his hand and said with a smile: "It is said that the resignation and promotion of concubines is related to the honor and disgrace of the family. In fact, the family has contributed to the country, and the concubines are also honored. After all the empresses are important ministers, there will always be opportunities in the future."
Everyone should be like this, and a trace of greenness flashed across Yao Guifei's face—her father was a bachelor, and Hua Guifei's father had always been political enemies. , how to swallow this breath
Concubine Hua ascended the throne, and the concubines had different expressions. The situation in the Xuanyuan Dynasty was inherently complicated. The two factions are firmly in their own hands, and the daughters and granddaughters of these courtiers entered the palace, so naturally they are clearly divided.
Meng Fuyao pretended not to see him, drank tea leisurely, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Why didn't Xianfei come?"
The concubines are stunned... Didn't Concubine Xian ask you for leave? How did you forget it so quickly
Someone was about to speak, but Jian Xue immediately accepted Meng Fuyao's words, looked around, and said, "Yeah, how can my sister feel that there is one person missing, so it turns out that the concubine Xian didn't come, probably because... forgot?"
Meng Fuyao glanced at her, said "Oh", without saying anything, continued to drink tea, and then put the cup down.
All the concubines got up to leave tactfully, Jian Xue walked slowly at the end, Meng Fuyao sat on the seat, drinking tea slowly, not looking at her, when the crowd dispersed, Jian Xue suddenly turned around and threw herself in front of Meng Fuyao's knee.
Meng Fuyao looked down at her.
After a while, I smiled.
※※※
The new queen enters the palace and makes some moves.
Concubine Liu and Concubine Yang were both punished. Concubine Liu is still in Chongxing Palace, and Concubine Yang is unconscious.
The noble concubine was promoted.
The concubines will go to Chongxing Palace to work the next day.
Give the concubine Gao some famous medicines and jewels.
This move naturally came into the sight of the regent, Xuanyuan Cheng heard it, thought for a while and said: "She is really a vicious woman."
The staff next to him said: "The harem fights for favor."
Xuanyuan Cheng thought about it, and thought it was the same. This person is a hammer here and there, and he can’t see what the new queen will do. Let’s say she cleans up the six palaces, but she just let the most rebellious concubine go, and say she wants to fight for favor. Concubine Hua Gui was promoted again. Xuanyuan Cheng is not weak in politics, but he is not very good at women's thoughts. The staff beside him smiled and said: "Why do you worry about it? Empress Yuwen is your relative, and she is also a relative on weekdays." A polite person, besides, she is single and weak in the palace, what can she do?"
Xuanyuan Cheng smiled, and then put it aside, yes, this imperial court is all his world, and his management strength has been intertwined for more than ten years, how could a little girl be able to move it
What's more, if there is really something wrong with Yuwen Ziruo... He still has one last move to kill and wait for her.
※※※
At the moment when Meng Fuyao was cleaning up those goofy women in Xuanyuan Palace, Xiao Qi was knocking on the door of the Palace Rensi who was near the palace gate in Tiejia Hutong with the list in his pocket.
The yawning little eunuch opened the door, cursing and saying, "Disturbing people so early..." Seeing that Xiao Qi was stunned, a ray of surprise floated in his eyes.
Xiao Qi handed over the list, the little eunuch was even more surprised, looked at Xiao Qi's clothes up and down, turned his eyes around the black fox cloak of Zhan Beiye on him, and looked at the ragged clothes under the expensive cloak , shook the list and smiled: "Oh, you are going to be a handyman in the palace? This job is not easy to get, and it is difficult to get into the palace."
Xiao Qi raised her head, watched him sizing up the big cloak thief, thought for a while, took off the big cloak silently, and stuffed it into the little eunuch's hands.
The eunuch accepted it with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to pinch Xiao Qi, and said: "Little brother, you are well-behaved. In the future, you will make a great success." As soon as Xiao Qi opened his hand, the eunuch was not angry, and pointed at the orchid: "I'll let you know."
After a while, he came over and said, "Eunuch Li is calling you." Then he greeted a side door: "Wang Daozi, wake up, there is work to do."
Xiao Qi silently followed him into the yard. Eunuch Li was very happy to see him coming, he took his hand and said, "Come here, sign your name here."
Xiaoqi withdrew her hands, pursed her lips and said, "I can't write." He drew a circle casually and said, "I always draw circles."
When he was a general, all documents were indeed circled.
Eunuch Li didn't mind either. After receiving the paperwork, he asked Xiao Qi to take a bath. After taking a shower, he gave Xiao Qi a loose robe. Xiao Qi glanced at him and said, "Follow me."
Xiao Qi saw that he was carrying white cloth, plant ash, bottles, jars and boxes, and thought he was going to work, so she followed him silently, and followed him into a room, which was empty on all sides, and the windows were papered tightly so that no wind could pass through. A narrow bed, with some ropes scattered about.
That Wang Daozi handed over a bowl of soup and said, "Drink it first."
The soup was dark and had a bit of a smell. Xiao Qi had been wandering for a long time, and he was a little wary. He had a silver needle in his sleeve, and he didn't sell it no matter how poor he was. He took it out and tried it carefully.
Wang Daozi sneered loudly: "Ha! There are people who try cannabis soup with silver needles!"
It was not poisonous, and Xiao Qi was a little thirsty, so he gulped it down.
After eating the soup, it was hot and had a strange taste, which seemed disgusting but not like it, but his body gradually became lighter, and Xiao Qi suddenly felt very dizzy and heavy.
As soon as he loosened his hand, the soup bowl fell to the ground, and Wang Daozi skillfully caught it, and then vaguely heard the door open, and a few people came in, Wang Daozi took out a shiny machete from the bag, and roasted it on the candle , Greeting: "Take off his clothes and put him on the bed..."
Then he didn't know anything.
The door of Gong Rensi opened with a creak.
A little eunuch sneaked out, with a bulging bag wrapped in a cloth under his arm, and the tip of a shiny cloak peeked out from the gap.
He stroked his cloak in satisfaction, feeling very proud that he had made a large sum of money today, and when he went to the pawnshop, he could gamble again with the silver.
There were few pedestrians on a winter morning, and the ground was covered with shallow ice. The little eunuch walked along the outer palace wall, carefully avoiding those icy places. Slippery, walking, or a "bang" fall.
The bundle flew out, scattered, and the cloak rolled out. The little eunuch was in a hurry, and went to pick it up, but suddenly a person came across, and picked up the cloak quickly.
The little eunuch shouted: "That man, that belongs to our family!"
"Your?" The other party looked up, with a strange expression on his straight nose and square mouth, "Your?"
"certainly!"
As soon as the man stretched out his hand, he punched him on the head with a fist: "Again, it's yours!"
This punch was like a hammer tamping down, the little eunuch's head buzzed, he felt his head was shrunk into his neck, and all the stars he saw last night flew to his eyes.
"I… "
"Bang!" Another punch.
"Do you have the guts to say it again?"
The little eunuch is wailing... We don't want to say "mine." We want to say "I won't say it anymore" ah...
The man looked at the cloak repeatedly and kicked him impatiently: "Quickly tell me where it came from."
With tears in his eyes, the little eunuch shrank his neck, pointed to the palace man behind him and said: "A boy who is going to be a handyman eunuch respects me..."
"Nonsense!" The man yelled so startled that the little eunuch peeed out, "What kind of status is he, honoring you?"
"What identity?" The little eunuch was stunned, "A poor boy, what identity?"
"Poor boy?" The man asked in surprise, "What is it like?"
The little eunuch spoke sobbingly, the man's face became more and more serious as he listened, and he murmured for a while: "Xiao Qi?"
He raised his head and looked at the palace wall behind him—he was thrown away by his damn unscrupulous master, and he wandered around the Prince Regent's mansion for a long time. He only got the message from his master yesterday, and he actually ran to the palace to be a queen. I was trying to get into the palace, and I didn't want to see Zhan Beiye's cloak here. Zhan Beiye's clothes were different from others. Most of his clothes had a flaming dragon totem on the inside, and no one could imitate them. I saw Zhan Beiye's cloak in the hands of a little eunuch. Clothes, that's really weird, so naturally I have to ask, I don't want to ask around, but I actually asked a horrifying news-Xiao Qi is going to be a eunuch
There was a "buzz" in Tiecheng's mind, he naturally knew about Xiao Qi's expulsion, and now he can guess the reason why Xiao Qi wants to enter the palace, but if he really wants to enter the palace in this way , the consequences are really too tragic, he doesn't care about Zhan Beiye, at least his master, it will definitely be a nightmare for the rest of his life.
Silly little seven! You are not atonement, you are harming people!
Tie Cheng grabbed the little eunuch by the chest.
"Where is he? Take me to him!"
※※※
The time was pulled back ten days ago, on the remote mountains surrounded by floating clouds and mist, three days and nights passed after the master-student conversation.
The nine-curve corridor is full of mist, with deep twists and turns, no one knows where it is coming from or where it is going, and the figures in plain clothes kneel silently in the smoke and light, indifferent.
The figure of Fan Tuantuan flashed suddenly and appeared on the eaves beam above the kneeling person. Taeyeon flicked her finger, and a little red light hit Changsun Wuji's back, and shouted: "The punished person, why sleep! Blasphemy of Master's will!"
Changsun Wuji was shocked, raised his head, and just about to say something, Taiyan suddenly turned around and disappeared, and at the same time, a misty blue shadow appeared silently among the clouds of smoke.
The eldest grandson Wuji lowered his head.
"Wuji, haven't you figured it out yet?" The old man with the high crown had a stern look on his face, which was blurred in the mist, and there was still no sadness or joy in his expression.
The eldest grandson Wuji remained motionless and silent, his long clothes were spread out, there was snow under his knees, and fine frost had accumulated between his brows and eyes.
The old man stared at him silently, sighed silently for a while, and said: "I used to like your temperament, but now..." He turned around and said: "Get up."
The eldest grandson Wuji leaned over and said, "Thank you, Master." But he didn't get up immediately. The old man didn't look back, but he knew that he couldn't get up for the time being.
The world is extremely cold on the top of Yushan Mountain, and if you kneel down for three days and three nights, ordinary people have already lost their lives.
With a flick of his sleeves and a surge of air, Changsun Wuji stood up slowly with his fingertips, and supported the pillar behind him.
"Why?" The old man's tone was a little tired.
"Father is not in good health." The eldest grandson Wuji said indifferently: "As a son, you have to serve the side of your father's sick bed."
"The elders have already given in to you and allowed you to enter and leave the world of mortals. You just take this position, which does not prevent you from fulfilling your filial piety in the world of mortals. Whether you will be emperor or not will not interfere with you in the future. What else do you want?"
"Master is still in good health, Wuji dare not overstep."
"I have reached the realm of the earth fairy. After the last catastrophe in the world of mortals, the endless realm is the place I should go. If it weren't for the endless competition of your uncle Taiyan and his lineage all these years, it should have been passed on to you. , Now I finally persuaded the elders, but you are so stubborn, Wuji, you... can't you fulfill your master and take over in advance?"
The eldest grandson Wuji fell silent, and said for a while, "Master, Wuji cannot take on this position."
The old man's fingers trembled slightly, and he turned around. The golden light appeared in his eyes, and the light burst out like a sun rising above the sea of clouds.
The eldest grandson Wuji remained calm, and replied: "Wuji is afraid that because of himself, he will bring disaster to the sect, split the sect, and make everyone feel uneasy. He will be a sinner for the sect through the ages."
"Really..." The old man looked at him deeply, and sighed for a while, "I finally got out of the customs. I wanted to solve this problem, but I was pestered by you and made me feel restless... that's all... you can go."
He ignored his eldest grandson Wuji, and sat cross-legged on the spot. With a flick of his five fingers, countless transparent airflows protruded from his palms, and the sky filled with mist and flowers, as if attracted by the true power rising from his palms, spun in clusters between his five fingers. Approached, and finally turned into a huge portal.
The heaven and the earth are the curtain, the sea of clouds is the barrier, the heavy door is deeply hidden, and the fairy trail cannot be seen.
He retreated again.
The eldest grandson Wuji breathed a sigh of relief silently, his body softened and he fell backwards.
Someone behind him supported him, with some cold fingers, that person also let out a faint but helpless sigh of relief.
Changsun Wuji turned his head with difficulty with the hands that supported him, and looked at a distant place under the lonely mountain of Yucheng.
