"Mother, they are really going too far. Ever since we met the king once when he came here, he hasn't shown his face in the next half month." Xiaomei complained on Gu Jinmi's behalf.
"Silly girl, why are you in such a hurry! What should come will always come, even if you force it, it's useless. Besides, I'd rather he didn't come now." Her position in the palace is not stable now! As long as those women in the harem make a random move, my life may be in danger!
"But, even if the king doesn't come, my queen! But those in the harem are really too much. Not to mention the monthly money, the food and clothing alone are simply not comparable to that of the palace maid. And every time the rewards are It was delivered after they finished selecting it.”
"Silly girl, your mother-in-law has spent time in the cold palace. Think about it, which environment is better than the cold palace?"
"That's right here."
"That's okay. Besides, although your mother-in-law is nominally the marriage princess sent by the Xia Dynasty, in the final analysis, your mother-in-law is just here to be a hostage. They don't want our lives, so we should all be grateful to God. "
"But I'm so angry, Madam! Those maids who are so arrogant are obviously the ones who committed the above crimes."
"Just be patient for now! It's not appropriate for us to do that right now."
"Yes, concubine."
"Oh! Isn't this the new sister Jin Fei!" At this time, a very exquisitely dressed woman walked in from the door.
Xiaomei whispered in Gu Jinmi's ear, "Mother, this is Concubine Yu. I heard that she is the king's favorite concubine. She has been in the palace for the longest time. She is considered the old man in the palace."
Gu Jinmi nodded, saluted Concubine Yu and said, "Hello, Madam."
"Oh! How dare I bear this! Sister, get up, get up."
"Sister, are you here today?"
"Oh! I heard that the king has a new concubine, so I came over to see what she was like. She is indeed from the south of the Yangtze River! Look at this face and figure, she is really enviable! Envious people I really want to destroy her.”
"Sister is joking, she is the one! And no matter how beautiful she is, she can't compare to you, who is the only one favored by the dragon! Your Majesty, I have never seen my sister since the day I came here. It sounds like my sister is really capable!"
"Huh! That's of course. I grew up with the king. If the king doesn't care for me, who will I care for?"
"Sister, you are right! Who can compare with you, sister!"
"Haha, my sister really knows how to talk!"
"Sister, thank you very much."
"Sister, I came here today for nothing else. I just came to see how my sister is doing! But now it seems that my sister is really not doing well! If you want me to do it, I will mention it in front of the king."
"No need, sister, this is good enough. For my sister, as long as she has a place to shelter from the wind and rain, that's enough."
"Oh! My sister is really open-minded!"
"To tell you the truth, sister, no matter where she is, she has calmed down. Thank you very much for your concern."
"Haha, I really like my sister's temperament! My sister didn't bring anything good when she came today, so just give her the bracelet that the king gave her!"
"Sister, sister, why are you so embarrassed! After all, this is a gift from the king. I really can't take it!"
"Ah! Sister, you should take it! There are too many things that the king gave to my sister. Since we are all sisters, of course I, as a sister, must take good care of my sister! Sister, please don't give me any more Declined."
"Since my sister has already said so, it is really inappropriate for my sister not to accept it. I would like to thank my sister here."
"It's getting late, so I'll go back first. After all, it's not certain when the king will come. If the king has to wait, my sister can't afford it!"
"Then I won't keep my sister any longer. Xiaomei, go out and see your sister off!"
After Concubine Yu left, she looked at the jade bracelet filled with the magic medicine and sighed. I am already so independent of the world, why do those women still refuse to let me go
"Xiaomei is back."
"Well, empress, that Concubine Yu is not a good person!"
"Of course I know. By the way, Xiaomei, can you leave the palace?"
"Yes, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, the imperial kitchen will go out to purchase ingredients."
"Well, that's good, Xiaomei, take the opportunity to make a new bracelet according to this bracelet after you go out."
"Your Majesty, this bracelet?"
"If a person wears this bracelet for a long time, he or she will not be able to have children."
"Ah! What! Concubine Yu is so cruel."
"Otherwise! Why do you think there are so many women in the Queen's harem, but none of them have ever been pregnant?"
"But your Majesty, it stands to reason that the king often goes to Concubine Yu's place, but Concubine Yu's belly doesn't move at all!"
"Who knows? This harem is like a quagmire. As long as you get in, you will never come out clean. In short, we should be more careful in the future!"
"Yes, concubine."
Gu Jinmi has been holed up in his palace for almost a month, and he really can't stand it anymore. "Xiaomei, let's go for a walk! If we don't go for a walk, your mother-in-law will really grow mushrooms!"
"Empress, you are talking nonsense again."
Gu Jinmi took Xiaomei and started walking around in the palace. Suddenly, Gu Jinmi heard the sound of a flute not far away and couldn't help but said strangely, "Xiaomei, where is that ahead?"
"I don't know."
"Come on, let's go over and take a look."
"Mother, this..."
"Let's go! It's okay."
Gu Jinmi opened the door carefully and saw a man in blue with disheveled hair standing by the pool playing Xiao.
Gu Jinmi couldn't help but stand there and look at the person not far in front of him. Who is this person? Why is his flute sound so sad? Did something sad happen? Listening to this song really makes me cry!
"Who is it, come out!" The sound of the flute suddenly stopped.
When Gu Jinmi saw that he had been discovered, he did not panic. He came out from the darkness and said, "See the king." Yes, the man in blue is Tuoba Jun, but I don't know why Tuoba Jun is wearing clothes from the Central Plains today. .
"It's you, why did you come back here? Don't you know this is a forbidden area in the palace?"
"Forbidden land, Jin'er has never heard of this! After all, Jin'er has never seen any maid come to tell Jin'er what the rules are in this palace!"
Tuoba Jun quickly moved in front of Gu Jinmi, pinched Gu Jinmi's chin tightly and said, "Are you blaming me for not treating you well?"
"Your Majesty, Jin'er didn't say that!"
"You. Get out." Tuoba Jun said sharply.
Gu Jinmi shrugged and said, "Yes."
"Wait, stop, how did you find this place?"
"It's nothing. I just heard the sound of a flute accidentally and was attracted by the sound of the flute, so I came looking for it."
"Do you understand Xiao?"
"I dare not claim to be proficient, I can only say that I have dabbled in it briefly."
"Then what do you think of the sound of the flute just now?"
"The sound of the flute just now is like the cold wind in the winter night or the heavy rain in the hot summer. Sometimes the sound of the flute is rapid and sometimes gentle, giving people a sad and desolate feeling. Sometimes it is like the gentle whisper of the mother or the harshness of the father. criticism. I think the king must be missing an old friend!"
"You really understand."
"Your Majesty, thank you." Gu Jinmi looked at Tuoba Jun, whose tone was obviously relaxed, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Tuoba Jun also has many ulterior secrets! Does he really want to be as cold-blooded and ruthless as the book says
"If nothing happens, just step back first!"
"yes."
"Wait, don't you regret it?"
"No regrets. Since some things have happened, I no longer have the ability to change them. But what I can change is the present and the future. The past will eventually pass. If you just immerse yourself in the past, , then there is no hope for my present and future. At least I can still look forward to my future."
"The past will eventually pass, what about the present and the future?"
"I don't know what your Majesty has been through, but if you just immerse yourself in the past, you will never see the present and the future. Instead of thinking about what is and is not, It’s better to seize the moment.”
"You are quite smart."
"Your Majesty, the reward is great."
"If King Xia knew that his daughter was so smart, he would definitely regret sending you here to get married. With your wisdom, I believe you can be compared with men! If you were a man, you would definitely be our strong enemy."
"Haha, it's a pity that Jin'er is not a man. Besides, my lord, how do you know that women are inferior to men!"
"Okay, a woman is not as good as a man! It seems I have to look at you with admiration!"
"Haha, I thought the king had already taken a liking to me!"
"Yes, I am blind."
"It's not that the king is clumsy, it's just that I'm hiding my clumsiness. Besides, I believe that the king should have investigated my concubine beforehand! Otherwise, I might have met some unknown robber on the way!"
"Haha, don't you know that smart women are admired by men, but women who are too smart are hated by men?"
"Oh! Really? I really don't know! Maybe I am too stupid!"
"If you are stupid, no one in this harem will be smart anymore. I will go there tonight, so be prepared!"
"Yes, I know. In this case, I will go down first."
