"How? My Yulongchi is not bad..."
Emperor Shun Yao walked into the imperial bathhouse with his cloth robes open, his long hair tied up casually on the top of his head, and the Yulongchi, which was completely piled up with precious stones, was steaming. There are bright glass mirrors, and all kinds of exquisite and expensive toilet things.
"It must be good. Who dares to catch prostitutes in this place to do big health care..."
Zhao Guanren also wore a gauze dress and looked around. After the two maids knelt and pushed open the door of the bath, there were three large baths inside, a pool of cold water, a pool of soup and medicine, and a pool of clear water. Inside, there were eight court ladies kneeling. Welcome by the pool.
"Your thinking is so dirty, what kind of whoring is it in my harem..."
Emperor Shun Yao walked in with a smile, and Zhao Guanren followed in with a smile: "The difference between the two is that one is retail for individual customers, and the other is annual exclusive enjoyment. They are both spending money for fun. There is no difference in essence. , can the emperor not give them money?"
"You! You always open your stomach when you talk, and you have to take out the shit in your intestines..."
Emperor Shun Yao stretched out his arms dumbfounded, and the maids hurried up to take off his robes for him, and handed him soft towels to help him step into the decoction pool, but Zhao Guanren's face turned red, and he said in embarrassment, "Take off your clothes!" , Is there too many people here?"
"Haha~ When you feel shy too, quickly strip him off..."
As if Emperor Shunyao had caught his weakness, his childlike innocence suddenly became apparent. Zhao Guanren hurriedly jumped into the pool with his bathrobe on his hands, and took off his bathrobe after shrinking into the water. The court ladies wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh. Set out tea and pastries by the pool.
"You go down first, and I tell you to come in again..."
Emperor Shunyao waved his hand lightly, Zhao Guanren took a cup of sour plum soup, lit a cigarette and leaned comfortably by the pool, while Emperor Shunyao also lit a cigar for Gente, and asked, "Did the Queen explain anything? Will?"
"I don't want to be born in the emperor's house in my next life, I just want to be an ordinary woman..."
Zhao Guanren exhaled and said, "No one dies! This is a very scary rule. Six years ago, when your imperial servant injured his abdomen, the women found that they could not reproduce, but most of them are in their 20s and 30s, and the harem is fiercely competing for favor. , it’s not surprising to borrow a seed to give birth to a child!”
"I seem to have become a tyrant, the biggest joke in the world..."
Emperor Shun Yao raised his head and let out a wry laugh, actually shedding two lines of tears, which shows that he and the empress also have some feelings, but the feelings are not stronger than the imperial power.
"Once I entered the Hou family, it was as deep as the sea, and from then on Xiao Lang was a passerby..."
Zhao Guanren lay on his back in the water and said: "There are two worlds inside the palace and outside the palace. People outside want to come in, and people inside want to go out. After all, the palace is like a prison, and being the emperor is not a kind of favor. I think it's more like one." Punishment is just the bitterness in it, no emperor dares to say it!"
"Oh~"
Emperor Shun Yao waved his hands and said: "I really don't like to hear you talk, you always poke into people's hearts, say something happy, if I listen to you, I will be a monk!"
"Let's talk about one last unhappy thing..."
Zhao Guanren said: "The clues indeed point to Prince Duan. If Master Xuanyang succeeds in evoking the soul tonight and confirms that the sorcery was done by Prince Duan, then there is a black hand in the harem that none of us expected. Nine are victims!"
Emperor Shun Yao straightened up and asked: "Why can't it be the sixth child, you are so sure that he is fine?"
"Lao Liu wants to make a fuss, but unfortunately he doesn't have the ability..."
Zhao Guanren shook his head and said: "However, I hope that the blame can be pointed at the sixth child. The most fearful thing is that it will fall on the head of Prince Duan. Then this person is too terrible. He may have personally participated in the murder of the Supreme Emperor!"
"You've confused me, who else but the three of them..."
Emperor Shun Yao looked at him in bewilderment, Zhao Guanren handed him a glass of iced rice wine, and said with a smile: "Everything is in the stage of guessing, call out all the princes and concubines at night, let them watch Xuanyang Tianshi move
Hun, maybe you can see some clues! "
"Okay! I will wait patiently for a few more hours..."
Emperor Shun Yao clapped his hands after drinking the rice wine, and the bathrooms were immediately pushed away. There were more than a dozen concubines wrapped in bath towels queuing up to enter. Seeing Zhao Guanren, everyone blushed with embarrassment.
"Besides me, you are the second man to enter this Yulongchi..."
Emperor Shun Yao smiled and beckoned, the ladies could only blushed and stepped into the pool, but they obviously had received the order, and four of them swam to Zhao Guanren's side, shyly rubbing his shoulders and feet, and Two knelt by the pool and fed him wine and fruit.
"emperor!"
Zhao Guanren leaned against the pool with open arms, looked at the beautiful court lady who was kneeling by the pool, and said with a smile: "I take back what I said before when I was young and ignorant. In fact, being an emperor is still very enjoyable most of the time. At this moment, give it to a god." Nor change!"
"Haha~"
Emperor Shun Yao raised his head and laughed loudly: "Are you all fools in the world? I don't like who will be the emperor, but you have to pay for the reward tonight. From now on, they will be your exclusive enjoyment!"
…
"Mother! It's the middle of the night that no one is allowed to sleep. What kind of evocation is it? It's so frightening..."
The concubines gathered outside the Tianhe Hall full of complaints. Many kerosene lamps were hung on the square, which illuminated the big square in black and white. raised the altar.
"Why did you call us all out..."
The little princess and Princess Yaoyue also came out, and the guards stopped their slaves, but there were only a hundred or so concubines, plus a dozen princes and princesses, there were not many people, and they all gathered on the stairs A small leeward corner next to the plinth.
"The crown prince and Prince Duan are here..."
The concubines spread their legs and saluted, only to see the crown prince walking over with his head held high, while Prince Duan yawned as if he hadn't woken up, each leading his own family members.
"Yongning! What are you going to do? Open the altar to catch ghosts in the middle of the night..."
Prince Duan was imprisoned for a few days without knowing anything. The little princess walked out of the crowd and said: "Calling the soul! Someone has set up a sorcery in the harem. Grandpa invited a celestial master to call the soul. He wants to find out who the real culprit is behind the scenes. Today Someone is going to be in bad luck tonight!"
"Hmph~ Lao Jiu! Don't be scared to pee your pants later..."
The prince rolled up his sleeves with a sneer on his face, and stood upright by the steps of the main hall, while Prince Duan curled his lips and said, "Whoever does a good deed knows in his heart, you are the prince of the East Palace. Do you think I am two hundred and five?"
"Hey! Have you heard..."
A lady suddenly said: "I heard that the prince of the county went to Yulongchi to take a bath, and the emperor asked more than a dozen noble concubines and ladies to serve him. The prince of the county asked for six at a time, and the concubine Li Gui and the concubine Qian were cleaning up. Already, leave the palace early tomorrow morning to go to Prince Zhao's Mansion!"
"What? King Zhao is going to Yulongchi, is the emperor here..."
Most people were stunned by the news, the crown prince and Prince Duan also pricked up their ears, and even pushed their wives and concubines over to eavesdrop.
"Nonsense! Who dares to go to the bath when the emperor is not here..."
A well-informed lady said: "Didn't you realize that none of them came? Concubine Qian Gui is so beautiful that she took a box of golden melon seeds and gave rewards to the servants, saying that King Zhao rewarded her with a bunch of treasures. The imperial concubine was also abolished, and she was thrown as a slave!"
"Then the noble concubine is not allowed to hang herself..."
A concubine said in horror: "Wang Guifei usually bullies her a lot, and slapped her ears in public. This time, being a slave in her hands must be worse than death, mother! Bless the gods, I am not a queen!" Party, it has nothing to do with me!"
"What happened, why did Zhao Yunxuan go to Yulongchi..."
Prince Duan looked at the little princess in astonishment, and the little princess curled her lips and said, "The emperor treats him like a toilet, and throws all the junk he doesn't want into his mansion. Anyway, he has too many lice.
Afraid of being bitten, with a reputation of being rebellious and domineering, Concubine Bai Shu went to kowtow to his mansion this morning! "
"Hey! Prince Yongshi is here..."
All the ladies showed obedient smirks, only to see that Zhao Guanren came over in a red dragon robe with two big sleeves swinging, Tan Qingning and Commander Duan followed behind him, but at this moment no one dared to approach him, Nodding your head is a way of saying hello.
"It's almost time! Let's get started..."
Emperor Shunyao came out from the back of the hall with his hands behind his back, Jin Wuming and Eunuch Tian followed behind, concubines and princes all stepped forward to greet him, but Emperor Shunyao just raised his hand slightly and walked straight to the altar on the square .
"Everyone! Please quickly enter the circle..."
Celestial Master Xuanyang changed into an upright seven-star bronze sword. Four men, four women and eight disciples were holding dustpans, using lime powder to draw a large circle around the altar, and finally sprinkled the remaining lime powder on the steps of the main hall Before, even the steps of the main hall were not spared.
"Your Majesty! Please sit here and don't get up..."
Emperor Xuanyang invited Emperor Shun Yao to sit on the armchair on the left, and said loudly: "Listen carefully, virgins without personnel stand on the right side of the emperor, boys stand on the left side of the emperor, men stand on the left side of the altar, and women stand on the right side of the altar If you are not a man or a woman, please stand outside the circle!"
"Hmm~ Eunuch Tian! Please..."
Commander Duan coughed in embarrassment, and walked out of the circle side by side with Eunuch Tian.
"Grandfather! I'm here to accompany you..."
The little princess happily jumped to the emperor's side, Princess Yaoyue also walked over, and dozens of widowed concubines stood at the right hand of Emperor Shunyao, but there were only four boys, all of whom were half-educated princes and grandson.
"Hmph~ Look at how you discipline your children..."
Emperor Shun Yao snorted displeasedly, but Zhao Guanren also came over without saying anything, a group of women and the emperor were all stunned, and Yaoyue scolded angrily: "How shameless are you?" , you have the nerve to pretend to be a boy?"
"I have to be believed even if I impersonate, but the matter is very important, and I can't let people impersonate..."
Zhao Guanren grabbed a ten-year-old imperial grandson and kicked him on the ass. The little boy ran away red-faced. The prince was so angry that he cursed at him, and the old woman who grabbed the brat slapped him several times.
"Young boys and girls are listening! Kneel up and reverse yin and yang..."
Celestial Master Xuanyang waved the seven-star bronze sword and shouted, and the eight disciples immediately sat down, male and female, and knelt in the front, but Zhao Guanren stepped forward and grabbed the two female disciples, and said with a wry smile: "You two What kind of virgin do you want to commit the crime of deceiving the king?"
"What? When did you break your body and dare to lie to your teacher..."
Celestial Master Xuanyang walked forward in shock and anger, the faces of the two women turned pale in an instant, and they kowtowed on the ground in horror to admit their mistakes.
"Xuanyang! Can you do it? I don't think you are as good as Yunxuan..."
Emperor Shun Yao looked over in displeasure, Master Xuanyang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said: "Your Majesty! The poor Taoist priests were also deceived by these two scoundrels. Could you please call the two virgins to help out? Just kneel on the ground, there will be no danger!"
"Yongning! Yongtai! You two stepped forward and knelt..."
Emperor Shunyao raised his finger slowly, the faces of the little princess and Princess Yaoyue changed slightly, Prince Duan also hurriedly shouted: "Father! This matter is extremely dangerous, how can I let them both kneel forward, my son Help you call two palace maids!"
"How about you also kneel down to see if that evil ghost recognizes you..."
Emperor Shunyao gave him a cold look, Prince Duan immediately dared not speak, the little Princess and Yaoyue could only bite the bullet and walked forward, knelt down with the two female disciples,
"Don't move! The poor will protect you well..."
Celestial Master Xuanyang picked up a bowl of cinnabar water, stepped forward and drew a ghost-killing talisman on Princess Yaoyue's back, but just as it was the little Princess' turn, she heard a "click", and the fine porcelain bowl suddenly split into four petals , a bowl of cinnabar water was poured down, causing everyone to change their faces.
