peasant girl allure

Chapter 225
This time the Longevity Festival was accompanied by envoys from other countries, so the individual performances of the ladies from various families were cancelled, and only [-] outstanding dancers were selected to perform the opening dance. Naturally, there was no marriage offer.

Many people have prepared for several years but have no room for development, and they feel regretful.

Xiao'er was walking in the large procession leaving the palace, and all the ladies and wives who passed by were lamenting that they didn't get the chance to marry or didn't attract the attention of a certain son or a certain prince.

Only then did Xiao'er realize how many women's futures she had ruined because of her idea. It was really a sin, a sin.

Xiao'er and Shen Chengyao didn't go far, when the eunuch beside the queen came over.

"Slave sends greetings to Marquis Shengping and County Lord Rui'an."

Xiao'er recognized that it was Eunuch Tong, the eunuch next to the queen, so she asked with a smile: "Eunuch Tong, you don't need to be too polite, I don't know that Eunuch came here on purpose, but what's the matter?"

"Go back to the county lord, the queen misses the county lord very much, and wants to ask the county lord to come over and talk." Eunuch Tong replied respectfully.

"Father, you go back first! I'll go back later." Xiao'er said to Shen Chengyao after hearing this.

Shen Chengyao knew that the queen had a good impression of his daughter, so he didn't have any worries. He nodded, "I'll send a carriage to wait for you at the gate of the palace after I go back. Aunt Rong, please take care of the girl."

Xiao'er nodded to show that she knew: "Then dad, be careful on the road."

Nanny Rong hurriedly blessed her: "Yes, Lord Hou."

"Eunuch, let's go to the queen's too." Xiao'er said after seeing Shen Chengyao walking away.

"County Lord, please!" Eunuch Tong respectfully led the way.

"Eunuch Tong, I haven't talked to the Empress for a long time, let's go together!" A woman in a long white dress with soft smoke and butterfly sleeves came over.

Xiao'er glanced at her, um, it looked like a white lotus.

"My servant greets Princess Ling'er." Eunuch Tong's tone was flat, without the respect he had just had.

He is a person who lives by observing words and deeds, and the attitude of his master is his attitude.

Aunt Rong saluted.

Xiaoer is blessed, who makes the princess higher than her: "Fu'an, princess Linger."

The princess cast a disdainful glance at Xiao'er from head to toe, "Excuse me! Eunuch Tong, let's go!"

Another master who doesn't know how to look people in the eye, after Xiao'er finished the salute, she began to release the aura of keeping strangers away from Shangguan Xuanyi.

Recently, I get along with someone a lot, and I have learned all the bad things about someone.

Xiao'er felt that it was a good thing that she ignored her, and she was too lazy to talk to people who didn't share her interests.

"Princess, please stay a little longer. The Queen's Majesty has invited County Madam Rui'an to discuss matters." Eunuch Tong's tone was indifferent.

"Eunuch leads the way, I will explain to the empress." Princess Ling'er did not understand Eunuch Tong's words, but she saw the sixth prince heading towards Kunning Palace, and she also wanted to see her sweetheart.

"The princess stays! I will tell the empress that the princess wants to see the empress, and the princess can rest assured to wait for the empress to call. The slave will leave, otherwise the queen's business will be delayed, and no one can afford it!"

"Hmph! A fox pretends to be a tiger!" But she didn't dare to follow after all, she still wanted to be the empress's daughter-in-law!What is needed is to gain a good impression, not to be disliked.

In other words, this girl has a high level of ideological awareness, and it is not easy to know that she is the one who provokes others.

Because Princess Ling'er delayed them for some time, Eunuch Tong took Xiao'er along a slightly remote path to Kunning Palace.

After walking a short distance, Xiao'er heard three Japanese people talking.

They spoke their own native language, perhaps because no one here could understand them, so they didn't deliberately lower the volume.

"Find an opportunity to throw the virus into the well in the palace tonight. Then we will leave here and return home immediately!" the Japanese envoy said.

"It has been a few days since the virus was injected in that county last time, and it is estimated that some people have started to get sick!"

"That's right, so we have to leave as soon as possible. The smallpox virus is too powerful and spreads too fast. We must not get infected, or we will all die outside!"

The other two listened and nodded, it was indeed too scary!

When Xiao'er heard the word virus, she immediately signaled the two people around her to stop making any noise.

Her face also changed when she heard the word smallpox!

Smallpox has disappeared in modern times, but in ancient times, it was a loyal accomplice of death.

The speed of infection is fast and the mortality rate is high!

The three of them walked towards them, Xiao'er immediately dragged the two of them to hide behind the rockery.

After seeing the three Japanese walk away.

Xiao'er signaled the two to come out, and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "The Wa people want to inject the virus into the wells in the palace tonight. They have already injected the smallpox virus in a certain county. Eunuch Tong, hurry up!" Go and report this matter to the emperor, we must not let these three escape."

Both she and Grandma Rong are outsiders and cannot walk in the palace at will. Eunuch Tong is the eunuch next to the queen, but it is much more convenient.

When the two heard the smallpox virus, they were so frightened that they almost screamed!
Xiao'er hurriedly covered their mouths!
"Mother Rong, go to the Queen's place and tell me that I won't go through, I have to follow those three people!"

Nanny Rong was covered with her mouth, unable to speak, nodded quickly, then shook her head again!
Eunuch Tong kept nodding.

Xiaoer let go of her hand.

Eunuch Tong ran away.

This matter is too serious, poor his old bones are about to run to pieces and dare not stop.

Xiao'er also wanted to run to follow the three Japanese, but she was stopped by Nanny Rong: "Girl, I'll follow them, don't go, it's too dangerous! You go to the Queen's place!"

The girl is the one whom the master loves most, how can she be allowed to follow those Japanese people, if she gets hurt, she will die.

"Don't worry, I will not be discovered by them with a little effort. I have to keep an eye on them, otherwise I don't know if they will poison somewhere."

"No, girl..."

"Mother's business is very important, don't dawdle! You can't do this job, trust me, nothing will happen, you go!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao'er broke away from Nanny Rong's hold on her hand, and ran away.

Nanny Rong stomped her feet and hurried to Kunning Palace!

Grandma Rong didn't care about etiquette anymore. When she came to Kunning Palace, she wanted to break in, but was stopped by the nuns and maids outside.

"Quick, quick, quick..." Nanny Rong ran so fast that she couldn't speak, she just kept repeating the word "quick".

The nanny next to the queen naturally knew Nanny Rong, so she patted her on the back and said softly, "Nurse Rong, don't worry, you won't be able to explain clearly."

Nanny Rong took a deep breath and let it out. Although her heart hurt, she was finally able to express herself clearly: "Tell the queen quickly, County Lord Rui'an is in danger!"
