Phoenix Palace.
The four and five watch days alternated, and Xuanji woke up. This was the time when Long Fei went to court every day. During those few days in Chuxiu Palace, it was usually Long Feili who woke her up and asked her to wait for Wanfa to get dressed. She was unhappy, and after humming and chirping, he just left with satisfaction, so she continued. He slept on his head until he came back down.
Instead, he woke up now. I lay down for a while, but couldn't fall back to sleep.
Today is the second day after leaving Chuxiu Palace, and the time he and Xinyi agreed to meet again is tonight.
Survival or death is a question, and it is also a question of whether to go or not. Her current mood is comparable to Hamlet, Xuanji slammed her head into the bedding and howled.
I can't even jump into the dry well where Cui Ya hid with the corpse, and then climb up like Sadako. She shuddered at the thought of the corpse. If he doesn't hide there, Long Feili is a vigilant person, and he can easily be found elsewhere...
I wanted to go, but I was afraid of being discovered by them, I wanted to know who Xinyi was, and I was afraid of knowing who she was.
Thinking wildly, yesterday's headache and imposing manner hit, she simply got dressed and got up, washed briefly, and then walked out.
I don't know how long I wandered in the yard until it was dawn.
Out of the yard... She suddenly wanted to go to Bixia Palace to see. For no reason, from the first time Yuzhi brought her there, she had an inexplicable trembling feeling about that place.
The Royal Garden is the only place to go to Bixia Palace.
Just as he walked into the imperial garden, he heard bursts of laughter.
Before she had time to look, there was already a voice coming from the small lake by the Babao Pavilion on the side.
"Isn't that sister Nian?"
Now Xuanji can't do it without looking, but seeing that it is Concubine Hui who is talking, she is looking at her with a smile. There were more than a dozen beauties in palace costumes standing beside her, as well as many internal servants. It was the concubines below the queen, An Jin and Yao Guang were also there.
Xuanji smiled bitterly. These women seem to like gatherings and gatherings very much. She was about to say a few words and then left, but the queen smiled and said, "The concubine is here too. It's the emperor's birthday, and the sisters are getting together to figure out what to give the emperor at the birthday banquet."
She paused, then added: "I should have informed my sister earlier, but my sister is in the Chuxiu Palace these days, and this palace is afraid of disturbing the emperor and sister—"
Concubine Hua let out a coquettish smile, "Elder sister, didn't sister Nian already return to Fengjiu Palace yesterday?"
The queen seemed to be slightly startled, and then smiled again: "Speaking of which, this palace is confused. I don't know that my sister has returned to the palace. It's better for sister Nian not to blame her."
The concubines laughed for a while, how could Xuanji not hear the sarcasm in their words... She was kicked out of Chuxiu Palace by the emperor! The queen really doesn't know, how is it possible? She smiled and said, "The Empress's words are serious. It is Xuanji's fault to say that she has acted recklessly and disturbed the conversation of the sisters. The sisters chat slowly. Empress Empress, Xuanji will retire first."
"It's rare to catch my sister, so sister Nian will come along too." Concubine Hui raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Is it possible that you dislike your sisters?"
Xuanji slandered, saying that about giving gifts in total, you didn't give each of them separately, saying that it was a total, but just wanted to see what other people gave.
"Yeah, sister come too."
Yao Guang said, even came over, pulled her and went to the lake.
Xuanji wished that Yaoguang would be dizzy with a splitting knife, but just standing still, a concubine asked, "Sister Nian has always been loved by the emperor, I don't know what gift you have prepared for the emperor this time? Check it out."
This statement was immediately echoed by everyone, who just smiled and asked Xuanji to speak quickly.
Concubine Hua glanced at her, "Yes, sister Nian's gift must be ingenious. After this birthday feast, the emperor is happy to see it, and maybe he will leave sister to serve in Chuxiu Palace again."
The concubines burst into laughter again, and An Jin said, "That's not true, the concubine Nian, please don't hide it, tell us quickly."
Xuanji smiled wryly, are these people tired? They have repeatedly made a fuss about her being "expelled" from Chuxiu Palace - but when it comes to Long Feili's gift, she is really unprepared. She is also from Xia Sang and Yuzhi that day. It was only during the conversation that I learned that Long Feili's birthday was approaching. Later, he was trapped in the Chuxiu Palace, giving gifts and begging for surprises. He was always by her side, he went up, and she slept; when he went down, the two "slept" together; He reviewed the memorials and held her in his arms. She was bored and still sleeping...
Although everyone was sneering and sarcastic, she knew what happened in Chuxiu Palace yesterday. She thought it was funny, and was about to perfunctory, when the dizzy feeling broke out again. Yaoguang pulled her to stand just now, which was very close to the lake. Along the way, everyone was startled when they saw her body swaying suddenly, as if she was about to fall into the lake, Yao Guang reprimanded, "Xiao Lin, why don't you go and help your concubine?"
That Xiaolin was Yaoguang's personal maid, so she stood behind Yaoguang, just to separate Yaoguang and Xuanji slightly, she answered and hurriedly reached out to help.
The corners of An Jin's mouth twitched slightly, and she winked at Ashi, the maid on her back, who was right next to Ashi. Ashi was stunned, then quietly took a step back, stretched her foot to the ankle of Xiaolin who was supporting Xuanji behind her back, and Xiaolin screamed in pain, dragged Xuanji and fell into the lake.
When they came out of the Golden Palace, the ministers were relieved. They had just received the express reports from several counties. The rain in the late spring and early summer caused the Leyang River, which flows through several counties, to lack the embankment. village with heavy casualties.
The emperor was furious.
