The screams came from the Phoenix Palace. A group of eunuchs and palace maids looked at their master speechlessly.
With frowning eyebrows, the girl felt helpless, "Niangniang, why don't we stop learning?"
As she said that, she quickly took out the handkerchief and wiped the water droplets on the hands of the woman in the palace suit next to the gang. The back of the pure white hand was already hot red.
The woman shook her head, "I want to learn. Aunt Ruyi, let's continue."
Ruyi sighed slightly, covering her long eyelashes to hide the complexity in her eyes. The beautiful woman standing on the other side of her suddenly sneered and walked away.
"Aunt Jixiang—" The woman pulled Ruyi's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "What happened to Aunt Jixiang?"
"Niangniangniang, in fact, this method of brewing tea is taught by auspicious servants." Ruyi said softly.
The woman in the palace dress gave a thoughtful look at the shadowy figure outside the courtyard.
The woman in the palace dress is Xuanji.
This is the Phoenix Palace. It has been a few days since she and the emperor escaped from Qiyuan. She knew that the emperor liked to drink tea made by Ruyi, so she found an opportunity and asked Diefeng to invite Ruyi to teach her. Jixiang and Ruyi were together, and the two came together.
In the past few days, something has happened.
An Jin did not move into Fengji Palace. It is said that the emperor later asked the female officials in Neiyuan to find out that it was An Jin's maid who was causing trouble, and An Jin asked himself to be demoted to a concubine, and he still lived in Qiuyingxuan.
Only that night, the emperor stayed in Qiuyingxuan, but at the same time, Xu Xi, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, gave a large number of jewels to the concubine of Fengjiu Palace at the emperor's will.
Although the inside and outside of the palace were in awe of that concubine Jin, they dared not despise this concubine. After all, her father has a high position and authority, and now the Queen Mother doesn't seem to make much trouble. Rumor has it that she has a bad temper. Although she has received divine favor, she often provokes the emperor's anger, but the divine will is unpredictable. Therefore, the concubines in the palace are just like the "sacred will", which is not very clear - I dare not distinguish. , I am afraid that I will not handle it well and will anger the emperor.
That night, there was another pill that came with the reward. Of course, only Xuanji knew that secret pill.
Her gecko sand mysteriously disappeared the next day.
There is one less danger that makes people criticize, but what Xuanji hates is that Prince Zining did not leave the imperial capital, because Princess Yuzhi was about to return to the palace. Princess Yuzhi was the only daughter of the only brother of the previous emperor. The prince died early due to illness, and the princess actually killed herself and died.
The late emperor and his younger brother had a deep affection for him, and he was especially sympathetic to Yuzhi who lost his parents since childhood.
This Princess Yuzhi was also raised under the Queen Mother's knees. The late emperor regarded her as his own, and loved her more than his own daughters. She was the most veritable golden branch and jade leaf in the palace.
It is a pity that the little princess has the same body and bones as her father. She was born weak, and she was sent to the famous sword mountain villa in the Beidou of Taishan Mountain in Wulin several years ago to learn arts and practice martial arts to strengthen her physique.
She has been gone for three years. The queen mother personally asked the emperor to say that Prince Zining and Princess Yuzhi had always had a close relationship. The emperor pondered a little and asked Prince Zining to stay for a few more days, and it would not be too late to get together with the princess.
There were also urgent reports outside the customs, saying that the Huns were on the verge of making a move at the border. Except for Concubine Hui's father, General Rong, who was still stationed at the border, the other two generals, Wen Rukai, the younger brother of the empress dowager, and Nian Xiang's righteous son, have been urgently recalled by the emperor to the court.
Tea smoke curled up, Xuanji remembered that day in Qiyuan—
The words she said in Long Feili's ear seemed to be washed away by the rain without leaving a trace. He did not respond, but only carved a mark on her.
The girdle around her waist was lifted by his strong, nimble hands. When she was trembling so close to fainting, he stopped.
The scene she looked at from the gap in his arms, she swore she didn't want to see it a second time in her life.
Under the dark blue flower tree, countless wolves gathered like a tide. Thousands of wolves with sharp teeth and claws roared and stared at the tree where they were standing.
"What are they going to do?" she asked the man who was holding her in his arms, trembling.
He said lightly, "Worship."
His tone made her feel a little more at ease, his anger just now seemed to be just an illusion of hers.
"Worship you?"
She found that although he was mostly indifferent to her, her words often seemed to please him.
He raised his eyebrows and smiled, and after a while, he said, "It's the perilla tree."
"Zisu?"
Xuanji wondered, did he mean these blue flowers? This flower was originally called perilla
"Zi Su is not like this!" she blurted out.
This is definitely not the perilla fry with perilla that she knew in modern times.
"Have you seen other perillas?" Long Feili chuckled.
"It's the kind of fried snails," she said weakly.
"What is a snail?"
"... Your Majesty, you didn't say anything about being a concubine."
"You seem to know quite a few strange things."
"It was taught by the concubine's master."
"One day, I will have to ask Nian Xiang to invite your master over here. It is true that this is hidden in the city." Long Feili seemed to be very interested.
Xuanji's black line - where to find this non-existent person for you, it seems that another day she will have to find her father who is said to be a high-ranking person but has been leaving his daughter in the palace for no apparent reason and have a good talk about this year The family's problem.
"Farewell, Your Majesty, this master may be a lunatic."
"… "
"You said they were worshiping this tree?" she wondered.
Long Fei said, "Do you still remember this place?"
This big tree... Xuanji stunned and lost his voice: "This tree - we rescued the little wolf here last time."
"This is the king of the perilla tree." His phoenix eyes looked into the distance, and his eyes were deep and distant, as if he had traveled through a hundred years. "Has your master ever told you that there is such a legend that the wolf loves perilla?"
