Qingchuan History

Chapter 6 The Promise of the Palace of Frost
May, which was supposed to be sunny and sunny, passed most of the days of gloom.It was the end of the month, and a new round of flowers bloomed in the imperial garden, and the colorful colors seemed to set the sky on fire.

Ruan Xueyin decided to go to Phi Shuang Palace.

Folding Snow Hall is far away from Pishuang Hall. The two masters and servants walked through most of the imperial garden through flowers and willows, and finally saw the fragrant jasmine garden.Still unwilling to give up, Yunxi muttered again:

"Madam wants to pay a visit to other ladies. You can go to Cailu Palace and Zhuyu Palace first. At the last palace banquet, the servants saw that Mrs. Zhen has a very good temper. I heard from the palace people in Cailu Palace that Mrs. Zhen is also gentle to the servants. I want to come here." It's easy to deal with. The person from the Zhuyu Temple, although I heard that he is a bit domineering, has come from a long way like Madam, and he is in a foreign land, so there are some topics to talk about. Madam, however, wants to come to the Shuangpi Palace, you know it well, "

Ruan Xueyin was impatient with the nagging, and said softly: "I remember that when you first came to serve, you were a quiet and quiet person, why are you so long-winded now?"

Yunxi curled her lips slightly, "When Madam first entered the palace, she was also a loner and never socialized. Now that the first step is to see Madam Yu, this servant is nervous."

"Is this Mrs. Yu some kind of scourge? Why can't I see it so much?"

From Yunxi's point of view, she was asking the question knowingly.Your Majesty and Mrs. Yu have a delicate relationship. Although Hegong is very respectful to Pishuangdian, they can avoid it.Even Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Zhen, who have been favored, have never stepped into the gate of Pishuang Palace.

It is said that Mrs. Jin went to visit three times, but she was declined on the grounds of taking a nap, being sick, and not going out.Mrs. Zhen met Ji Wanling once in the Royal Garden, and they only chatted for a few words, and there was no second interaction.

However, Ruan Xueyin has not been favored, and she can hardly see the sky, so her presence in the harem is low; and because of her unremarkable appearance, she is easily compared with the other three well-known wives, and she has always been the object of private teasing by the palace people .At this moment, if I don't know how to knock on the door of the Pishuang Palace and have a bowl of closed doors, I will be laughed at by the Daqi Palace who worships the high and tramples the low for several days.

Yunxi followed Ruan Xueyin for a while, gradually became familiar with her, and even developed a little closeness, so she really thought of her.

But this is only one reason.

More importantly, she couldn't figure out what she wanted to do.Whether it comes from your majesty's prediction or her own observation, it is an undoubted fact that this princess of the Yin Kingdom is extremely intelligent and has plans.She has been in the palace for three months, except for stargazing, reading, and walking to "step on the spot", she doesn't see anyone at all, and she doesn't even intend to meet the saint.

Now that I suddenly want to see Mrs. Yu, there is naturally a purpose.Thinking of the days and nights when her eyes fell on the front of the Frost Palace on the Yuehua Terrace, she felt more and more uneasy, even though after reporting this matter to Your Majesty, Your Majesty hadn't had a night out in the wind for almost a month.

She was sure that no matter what, Your Majesty would not want Mrs. Yu to be involved in any vortex in this treacherous continent.

Then Ruan Xueyin's visit to Ji Wanling must be something that Jun Shang doesn't want to see.

Then she should try her best to stop it.

Ruan Xueyin knew what she was thinking.

But she can't show it.

So far, she has never opened the real reason why Yunxi came to Zhexue Palace to serve, although she knew it from the first day.

But at this moment, it is more beneficial not to know.Then she only needs to solve the worry that Yunxi said.

"Don't worry, since I'm going, I won't be turned away. You follow me and suffer all the time in this palace. I'm sorry for you. But the appearance is determined by nature, and the favor follows the fate. I can't do anything about these things; but today I go to wear frost." Dian, I will never make you embarrass yourself together."

Yunxi groaned secretly, thinking that embarrassment is not the most important thing, but hearing that she is confident that she will see Mrs. Yu, she is even more worried.She had a feeling day by day that Ruan Xueyin was indeed not an ordinary woman, she might even be stronger than what your majesty thought.If she really saw Ji Wanling today——

I don't know what she wants to do.

Seeing her dazed, Ruan Xueyin knew that she was crying but there was nothing she could do.Some wanted to laugh, some felt pity, and patted her hand lightly to show comfort.Presumably it was because it was not very consoling, her movements were a little blunt, but Yunxi ignored these details, and just followed closely worriedly, secretly hoping that Mrs. Yu was not in the hall at the moment.

The palace man who opened the door was very well-mannered, even more refined than most of the palace people. He made a standard salute and said respectfully: "Madam Pei has a heart. It's just that our wife didn't rest well last night. Madam, the trip was in vain."

Ruan Xueyin smiled, and said in an unhurried tone, "You have to pass on to Madam Yu, I know a little about the answer she wants."

Yunxi heard it in a cloud of fog, but before she could fully understand, she saw the palace man hesitate for a while, then turned around and went to the palace, and after a while, he came back at a trot.

"Madam is already awake, please Madam Pei to enter the hall to talk."

Yunxi was dumbfounded, forgot to help her master up the steps.Ruan Xueyin didn't care, and went straight in.

It was the beginning of summer, and the inside of the Phi Shuang Hall was lush and green. Ruan Xueyin's master and servant walked through the vestibule to the main hall, but they didn't find many flowers and plants along the way.

The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost.The reeds planted in the Pishuang Temple are very suitable for the occasion.Ruan Xueyin thought to herself, walking at a gentle pace.It's a pity that this Yiren is really on the water side at present, and he can't ask for it.

Yunxi was worried and said nothing all the way, until she entered the palace and saw Mrs. Yu standing up to greet her, and the two wives saluted, then she finally came to her senses.

It has to be said that there is no harm without comparison.She has served in Zhexue Palace for the past three months. After looking closely for a long time, she found that Ruan Xueyin's facial features are actually very good-looking, but her skin is dark, and the facial features cannot be highlighted. In addition, the two red marks are really eye-catching, and almost everyone pays attention to it. As soon as the force came, it was attracted.

Naturally, no one will taste the five senses anymore, not to mention that most people also watch from a distance.

At one point, she was a little annoyed, feeling that the palace people were too harsh when they talked about Mrs. Pei's poor life.

But when she saw Mrs. Yu at this time, she suddenly realized that in the Daqi Palace where famous beauties from the Qingchuan Continent live, the dark complexion is really flawed, and there are scars, if it is not for the people of the Yin Kingdom The princess was sent in, and she couldn't even serve as a servant girl in the palaces. After all, the face of the palace is also the face of the royal family.

No wonder they have poisonous mouths.

She helped Ruan Xueyin sit down, and stood beside her, looking up at Mrs. Yu quietly.I saw her wearing a green gauze skirt, fair skin, willow eyebrows like Daisy, big almond eyes shimmering, and an extremely beautiful complexion.Like most people in Qi Palace, she seldom sees Madam Yu, but every time she sees her, she still feels sincerely that the current King's sweetheart really deserves the title of the number one beauty in Daqi.

While thinking about it, the two ladies have finished their first greetings.Ruan Xueyin was not good at talking about scenes, so she barely dealt with it, but Ji Wanling was well-spoken without any mistakes.

It is really difficult for a lady from a family to be an important official of the court.Ruan Xueyin thought in her heart, feeling that if she continued to talk politely, she might be bored, so she decided to get straight to the point.

"Yunxi, you wait outside the hall, I have something to talk to Madam Yu."

Yunxi didn't want to leave 1 times in his heart, but he couldn't help it, so he had no choice but to back down.Ruan Xueyin turned her head, but saw Ji Wanling's maidservant, Heng'er, still standing aside.

"Heng'er has been with me since she was a child. She knows all these things, and there is no need to avoid them." She paused, seemingly calming down, "Mrs. Pei just sent a message, saying that she knows the answer I want, why do you dare to ask?"

Ruan Xueyin smiled: "Since Mrs. Yu invited me in, she knows what she means."

Ji Wanling frowned slightly, calmed her mind, and said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, you are the same age as the current king, so if you celebrate the 22nd year, you are 14 years old, and the fourth day of May is not a festival, you should live in Penguin." Xishan." She quietly looked at Ruan Xueyin,
"I heard from my father that the three of you, master and apprentice, rarely go down the mountain, and your junior sister hadn't gone to Cangwu at that time. How do you know what happened in a canyon in Fengting Pass thousands of miles away?"

She spoke the last three and a half sentences almost word for word.Ruan Xueyin didn't deal with people much, but she had good empathy, knowing that the other party must be extremely nervous to do so.

Even though she had already guessed some of the outline of the story, she was still surprised to see the other party behave like this, and then felt a little sympathetic to the young king.

"The teacher lived in Pengxi Mountain in seclusion for 30 years. It is true that he seldom went out, but he knew everything about the world. Even His Majesty Dingzong visited twice to ask some questions. In addition to the knowledge accumulation of the teacher himself who is proficient in astronomy and the knowledge of mountains and rivers, Mrs. Yu asked why?"

"Of course it's because of those two artifacts."

Ruan Xueyin has always thought that the life of a lady from a famous family is to practice female virtues, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, and when she is of the right age, she will marry a well-matched good family, take care of her husband and teach her children, and live a life of honor.

Unexpectedly, Ji Huan was famous for his generation, and he was also very good at raising children. Among the limited family daughters and even princesses she had met, including those recorded in the history books, Ji Wanling's knowledge was quite good.

She thought of her eighth younger sister who was as beautiful as the one in front of her, and thought to herself that if she had half the brains of the one in front of her, Mr. Yin wouldn't have to go up the mountain to persuade the teacher to send her here.

Of course, if Mr. Ying doesn't come to the mountain to ask, the teacher will find a way to make him come, just toss.

She had a quick mind, and she seemed to have many thoughts, but in fact it only took a moment, so Ji Wanling didn't feel that the conversation was stagnant.

"That's right. The Obsidian Star Curtain and the Mountains and Rivers Pan come from ancient times. Apart from their ability to observe the sky and understand geography, the most powerful thing is that they can preserve the sky, climate, and mountains and rivers that have gone back ten years from now. If the controller is enough Diligent and assisted every day, their records can even detail the movement of a star and the instantaneous change of an ant."

Ji Wanling pondered for a moment, "My understanding is that your teacher or yourself is trying to trace the truth of the year through these two artifacts. However, although the celestial phenomena can judge good or bad luck and judge trends, they cannot be accurate to specific events; Seeing some clues about the incident, after all, there are no people."

Ruan Xueyin was a little happy, and felt that chatting with her was much more enjoyable than talking with Ruan Moxi.Before coming here, she thought it would take a lot of energy to explain some things, but now it seems that Ji Wanling's foundation is well laid, whether it is common sense reserve or logical ability.

The vision of the Gu family is good after all.

"You make a lot of sense. But the astrology can be specific to people, and the mountains and rivers can be seen in events. The combination of the two will make the accuracy rate much higher. I looked at the changes of the stars on the 22th day before and after the fourth day of May in the 21nd year of Gongqing. , the power that caused the change in the fate of Prince Zhanfeng did not seem to come from the territory of Qi State."

"Can this be seen?"

Ruan Xueyin thought that this was the end of the hearty conversation without explanation, but it was better than expected.
"The stars in the sky move independently, but they also affect each other. No star changes its brightness or trajectory only by itself. If this is the case, this stargazing technique is really just metaphysics, and there is no real reason to it. said."

"However, how can you be sure that the influence on Lei—I mean, the power to fight for the prince's fate does not come from Daqi?"

"For Prince Zhanfeng's own destiny, you only need to look at his personal map of star officials. But to know the cause and effect, you need to look at the astrological changes of the entire Qingchuan during that period. The 28 constellations in common sense are only the 28 signs that are most convenient to observe. The starry sky is much more complicated. There are countless stars on the obsidian curtain, and countless trajectories that alternate day and night. In fact, all the mountains, rivers, scenery, people, and people on this continent are all corresponding to the sky.

This explanation is a bit complicated, you just need to know that on the star official map of Prince Zhanfeng, Spica and Ojuku were extremely bright since April 27 of that year, and they were extremely bright at dawn on the fourth day of May. Da Chong in the fight is the image of lore. "

She was worried that she spoke too fast, so she paused for a while, and Fang continued:
"And during that period, the array of stars corresponding to the territory of Daqi State, except for the rapid dimming of Wuqu, which corresponds to the battle of the crown prince; the dimming of Ziwei stars, which corresponds to the former monarch, the rest are calm as usual, there may be slight fluctuations, but absolutely not. To the extent of ambush and murder.

On the contrary, the array of star officials in the three kingdoms of Yin, Bai, and Wei all have a lot of star energy fluctuations, and some of them have obvious effects on the trajectory of Wuqu star. If you look further down, there may be new clues, but I haven't had time to do this yet. thing. "

Ji Wanling's mood fluctuated, and she suppressed it forcibly, suddenly thought of something, and said, "You mentioned Spica and Ziwei just now, although I don't know much about the art of stargazing, I still remember these two names, they don't belong to a system."

Ruan Xueyin secretly praised her for her carefulness, and answered frankly:

"This is the great thing about the obsidian curtain. The most powerful stargazing system that has ever appeared in this world can be found on the obsidian curtain. They complement each other to form a brand new huge system. Or it can be reversed In other words, if you can't understand all the theories related to these systems and integrate them into one set, you can't really use the Obsidian Curtain, let alone exert its power. Therefore, the teacher never worries about these two things falling into the hands of others, because There are really very few people in this world who make them move."

Ji Wanling digested this passage carefully, admired it in her heart, then regained her senses, and continued to ask:
"Even so, it can only mean that the person who killed Prince Zhanfeng did not come from Qi State, at least not." She suddenly stopped, realizing that this sentence could not be said, "The truth I want is the culprit."

Of course Ruan Xueyin knew what the half-sentence she didn't say, and said Langlang: "But I thought it would be of great benefit to many people to first confirm who the culprit is not."

Ji Wanling is also a smart person, and since the rumor is no longer a secret in Qingchuan, she naturally understands this sentence,
"why?"

"I have a request from the present king."

"For your mother country?"

"Don't worry, it won't hurt the Qi country, it won't benefit the Yin country, it's just a loan."

"How can I trust you?"

"This, I should talk to the current king."

"Then why did you come to me in the first place?"

"To untie the bell, you need the person who tied it. If you untie the knot and regain the old friendship, it can be regarded as a gift from me to the king. He doesn't want to owe this favor, but he has to owe it."
