peach blossoms smile

Chapter 14
Xia Ji came out of the hall with two bundles in his hand, and stood beside me idly, whispering in his ear, "Ah Dan, it's really strange, with the shrewdness of the prince, he actually recruited a group of thieves into the palace. It looks like I was quite happy, and it made me a little embarrassed to ship that batch of things out. Ah Dan, you are nervous, don’t worry, once I get back to the palace, I will secretly put those things back, and I promise no one will know. .”

Therefore, under Bai Mi's meaningful eyes, a large group of us were escorted back to the palace by more than a dozen guards of Tingwei's mansion.

Except for the increase in the number of people, the feeling of returning to the palace is the same as before.It was also when the lanterns were first lit in the evening, and two rows of maids came out across the threshold of the palace with gauze and brocade lanterns.Bai Mi carried a meaningful message along the way, and then turned into alienation and indifference. From time to time, he would say a long and eloquent "Oh", followed by short and cold instructions.

Even when Shen Yinzi greeted her like the master, it was exactly the same as the first time.Green shirt with small sleeves, the beauty is like a dream.

Although I looked left and right, I couldn't see where this Shen Yin posture was not moving properly and asked for help, but I have to say that "the servant is weak to support her".She came slowly with her slender hand supporting the servant girl's arm. The maid was in a bun, and she wore a thin snow gauze. She was indeed dignified and noble but also delicate and soft, so beautiful that it made people's heartbeat.

"Brother Mi! Hey, sister Xuan..." She held a scarf and covered her mouth and nose lightly, "So many guests came today?"

While talking, we have poured in mightily.

Shen Yinzi waved away the maid's support, and Yiren came to Bai Mi like a bird: "Brother Mi, I just came back from the palace..."

The moonlight was hazy, Bai Mi's eyes were very pale, so pale that it was shrouded in mist, so pale that Yiren's little bird became stiff.

A guard came and said, "Your Majesty, where are they going to live?"

"Take them to live in Qiongxie Court." Bai Mi ordered, "Ask someone to clean it carefully, make sure it is spotless, and change all the bedding in the house."

The guard opened his mouth halfway, and said after a long while: "The subordinate will go to deal with it." Xia Ji stood beside me and said softly: "Ah Dan, who is that woman? Although she is rich in clothes, she is luxurious. More than enough, not lively enough, far behind you. What is her boudoir name? How old is she? Is there an engagement?"

Shen Yinzi's eyes swept over here, and she nodded slightly at me.Feeling her gaze, Xia Ji straightened his chest, and put the hands that were scattered in front of him behind his back.The evening wind was blowing, and the hem of his clothes fluttered slightly, and he stood up like a handsome Mr. Zhuo Shijia: "Ah Dan, is she looking at me?"

"Yeah, I'm looking at the puppy who just ran past you very quickly."

Shen Yinzi was well-bred, and was about to walk towards me to say hello, Bai Mi said: "It's late at night, Ms. Shen should go home quickly, so that Lord Shen won't worry."

The evening wind blows the light veil on Shen Yinzi's body. With a smile on her lips, she said softly: "The Empress Dowager has ordered that I will go to the palace again tomorrow. Brother Mi, maybe I will meet you tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he held the hand of the little girl again, and walked out of the mansion gracefully.

The moon peeked out from behind the clouds and shone on Bai Mi's face, dyeing his face carved out of moon-white marble even more icy, and his lips seemed thinner than paper.

It also caused the air around him to change from sunny spring to deep winter out of thin air... Originally, beside him was the main traffic road in the mansion, but the housekeeper and maid got into the flowers and made a big circle, coming from the gravel path among the flowers. Standing far away and saluting: "My lord, did the villain take everyone to Qiongxie Garden?"

This butler has never practiced martial arts, so saluting from such a long distance really requires a lot of courage, and you have to shout without showing timidity, so I admire this butler very much.

But he was far away from Bai Mi, so after he finished shouting, my ears were still buzzing.

I lived back in the original courtyard, two or three hundred steps away from Qiongxie Court, and separated from Bai Mi’s residence by a courtyard wall. It was the same as when I left. The furnishings in the courtyard rooms have not changed at all, and what have changed are empty Bogu racks. .After Xia Ji put the things in the bag back up, everything returned to its original state.

I had just put the burden on my hands away when there was a knocking sound outside the door. Before I could open the door, the latch of the door was automatically opened, and my father and others rushed in.

"A-Dan, are you used to living here? The palace is very strict. As a father, I'm really afraid that you will be bullied here! Of course, under normal circumstances, it's fine if you don't bully others. You've always been used to being free and easy. , During the time when father is away, did the prince set rules for you?" Father took my hand, with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Father..." I shook his hand and squeezed the corners of my eyes, "Thank you for your concern, Daddy. My daughter is well in the palace, eating well and sleeping well."

My lacrimal glands are really underdeveloped. After squeezing for a long time, I didn't squeeze out any tears.

All the people in the room stood with their heads bowed, the curtains were half-draped, the lamps and candles were shining brightly, and the incense was burning slowly.

"That's good, that's good..." Dad shook my hand again and again, "You must know how much I missed you when you were not by my side... No, it's us."

"Father..." I also shook his hand, "You old man, stop being sensational, don't you just want to know where my gold book is?"

The old man withdrew his hand and wiped his tears with his sleeve: "Damn girl, what are you doing so hard, it hurts my hand."

"Huh? Why? Dad, I haven't heard that your old man has rheumatism in your wrists?" When you are old, some diseases are not easy to see. The bones of the elderly are very brittle, and sometimes they will break if you are not careful, and no one knows."

Other people in the room looked at the ceiling, and those who played with the teapot lid played with the teapot lid. My mother even went to the bed to check whether the quilt I made was thick or not.

The old man hurriedly hid the wrist that broke the bone by hitting the corner of the table under his sleeve, and smiled brightly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just you worrying so much... Dad, I'm still young."

When I showed my father the gold book wallpaper that had been mixed with the wallpaper, his face turned from light gray to dark gray and then to black gray, and his hand touching the wallpaper trembled a little, excited Putting the other hand on it again, tears flashed again: "The golden book...it is the golden book awarded by the emperor to Di Ji! What a pity it ended up like this! Withered eyes everywhere, broken scrolls and chapters, three thousand miles of mountains and rivers , 40 years home..."

I took a pen, dipped it in thick ink, and said with great interest, "Father, the poems written when people are in grief are always the essence of life. You have just been inspired. Come on, I will write it for you."

The old man turned his head, looked at me tangled, and said sadly: "If you meet a thick-skinned stranger, you can still avoid it. But if this thick-skinned stranger is your child, what should you do?"

It was hard to get the gold book off the wall, but the Zhou Dynasty was full of riches and honors, and there was too much gold powder mixed in the thick ink on the gold book, and the gold book was glued to the wall too firmly with paste, so even though the book came down But the gold letters on the wall are still there.

The old man was holding the empty gold book, his face turned from black and gray to black as ink: "Things are people and things are not things. The last imperial concubine of the Zhou Dynasty is gone, gone..."

The wind blows into the window lattice, the veil blows, the lights shake, and the words on the wall are gold in ink, shining brightly when illuminated by the lights.Xia Ji had already stood in front of the wall and pondered for a long time: "Hey, this gold letter written backwards has a different kind of beauty when you admire it, showing the characteristics of its owner who is entangled and out of step with society. Especially this small gold seal, I love it. Why does it look so familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere? It wasn't in the golden book before."

As soon as he said that, everyone rushed forward, and sure enough, there was a small imprint under the whole picture.

"Isn't this the seal you cheated from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

After our careful investigation and research, we finally understand why there are clear traces of seals on the wall.When this seal was printed on the gold book, several different special inks were used, but now it is pasted on the wall in reverse, and some ink remains on the gold book, and only the gold powder and ink are left on the wall , so this seal is clearly displayed.Such a complicated production process gave us a better understanding of the eccentric emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and it was unanimously ruled that he spent a lot of time and money on these exquisite and complicated poems, paintings and even seals, so that it spread to the According to the official documents of the government, this directly caused the subjugation of the Zhou Dynasty.

As for the old man talking about the treasure, everyone dispersed, eating and sleeping.

The cold water poured by everyone did not cool my father down. He greeted me and built a floor under the wall. He decided to protect this wall and the ink and gold characters on the wall. near.In the dead of night, I even took two luminous pearls and put them on the wall to study carefully... Occasionally when I got up to drink water in the middle of the night, I saw two green eyeballs moving left and right, up and down in the dark night, which reminded me of Leopards running in the forest, or tigers.In self-defense, I picked up a chair and threw it at it.As a result, Dad had a large bump on his forehead, and it took several days for the swelling to subside.

Afterwards, I asked my father why I took two luminous pearls instead of one to avoid misunderstanding. He asked me very practically, if I took one luminous pearl, would I think it was a blind tiger? And wild leopard?It can be seen that for me, his defense is not enough.

Therefore, the old man could only study the gold characters by the moonlight at night, but one night the moonlight was too strong, and he was wearing a moon-white mountain gown, his long hair scattered on his thin cheeks, and his lips were stiff purple and slightly red.Everyone knows that people who get up at night are a little dazed. If you look at such a person who seems to have crawled out of the ground, what instinctive reaction do you have?So he got another big bump on his forehead.

Since then, Dad has replaced all his khaki quilts with warm pink quilts in bright colors.At night, I no longer dip in jam for supper, and only dare to fall asleep when my hair is neatly combed.Since then, the tragedy of a big bag on his head has never happened again, but since then, the maids of the royal palace looked at him slightly differently: that old man likes pink, and even his coat needs pink embroidery, what do you say? , is he a little perverted?
Fortunately, the old man's ability to resist pressure was unrivaled. Although there were whispers around him, he still went his own way. In the end, the seal pattern pasted on the wall was finally researched by him.One night, he used a knife and a setback to knock down the entire wall with writing on it silently, and recited it out of the palace in the middle of the night, hiding where he didn't know.

Therefore, since then, there has been a big hole in my room. For this big hole, the housekeeper of the palace is very troubled. The window is too big and the door is too small.In the end, I had to trim the edges and put a flower pot on it.

Since then, the old man's reputation in the palace has grown. In addition to the maids of the palace walking around him, the steward of the palace has sent people to watch him from time to time. I heard that the three reports a day, the most frequently asked sentence is, what is the guest today? Didn't poach the wall?

And for me, of course, I am even more fortunate that I will not be scared by something at night and will not be covered in cold sweat.For the servants of the palace, it is even more fortunate that they don't have to carry broken chairs and stools to the butler of the palace with a black face every morning to replace them.So, since that wall disappeared, everyone is happy.

Originally, everything was fine living in the palace, and everyone gradually regarded this place as their own home.At the beginning, everyone was still a little cautious about living in the palace. Although the people in the palace were going around the corner to Bai Mi, they avoided it as much as they could.But as long as Bai Mi is not at home, the palace will become our world!

Now that everyone lives comfortably, there is also a feeling of gratitude to Bai Mi, thinking that the cold palace needs some warm human landscape.So gradually, a dripping rockery was added here in the Wangfu Garden, a small bridge was added there, the pond was dug deeper, and there was an extra crocodile in it besides the koi... That was bought by Xia Ji from southern Fujian at a great price. According to him, the garden is too lonely, and these fat fish need natural enemies to be lively.

According to this theory, the old man is not far behind, and thinks that the natural enemy of this natural enemy is more important. If it does not have a natural enemy, it will regard the people passing by the pond in the mansion as natural enemies.So, he caught a meandering reptile from deep mountains and old forests.

As soon as the two natural enemies met, a fierce battle started that night, which was very lively.

The garden is bustling, but the wrinkle on the forehead of the housekeeper of the Wangfu has increased, and there is no way around to report to Bai Mi in the future.

As for us women, of course they are not as casual as they are, and we regard this place as our home.At most, I would add a few more clothes and renovate the house... Until one day, Bai Mi came back from a business trip, and he hadn't been in the mansion for a long time.I went out to take a look, and saw him standing silently in front of the palace gate, looking up at the newly built circular roof of the palace with silver light. A few bulging veins could be seen in the hand holding the hilt of the sword.

"Does this roof look good? We spent countless efforts to repair it for you. Although your original roof was more than luxurious, we agreed that it was too old-fashioned and too resplendent. Therefore, we replaced it with this warm one for you." The roof is round, it looks like a big steamed bun from a distance, but it still looks like a big steamed bun when you look up close. In this way, when you are hungry and tired, you ride your horse back from the other side of the street, and when you look up, you will see A big steamed bun. It seems that there is a bright lamp shining in the distance, how warm it should be in the heart and stomach!"

At this moment, he took his eyes back from the roof and walked into the house without saying a word.

His silence made me a little nervous, realizing that my modification of the roof was too rough, so many details were not considered enough?

"Is this roof not good-looking? Not fine enough? Originally, we wanted to paste gold and platinum on the roof so that it looked magnificent. But in retrospect, the sun is too strong in summer, and the gold and platinum reflect light too strongly, which will inevitably cause light pollution. .It would be bad if the neighbors complained." I looked at him cautiously, "Why don't you ask someone to post it tomorrow?"

He paused, took off his cloak, and put his hand on the hilt again. After a long time, he slowly loosened his hand from the hilt. He looked back and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Follow me into the palace tomorrow, the queen mother wants to see you."

His thinking was too jumpy, so I couldn't figure out the relationship between entering the palace and the roof, so I hurriedly followed behind him and said, "Then is the roof affixed or not?"

He paused again, raised his forehead, turned his head and smiled at me: "Can you restore it to its original state?" His tone was so soft, it was very different from his usual cold and decisive, and it made me rise from the bottom of my feet. A cool air, and seeing the slightly weak smile at the corner of his mouth, that cool air surrounds me.Before I could answer, he smiled again and looked up at the roof: "Forget it...that's it."

The look in his eyes made me feel like I was running away, just like when I was a child, I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. Under the candlelight, my father looked at me tenderly... Although I knew he just wanted to guard me and not let me go. The quilt was kicked over by me, but that look still made me want to lose my temper.

The empress dowager, usually with jewelry on her head, her face full of inscrutability, surrounded by trembling concubines in the palace... check each other.Especially the empress dowager who founded the country in Dingzhou, who was able to raise a queen dowager who was the founding emperor, was more scheming than a well.

So, when the old lady in front of me with a crimson forehead wiped my hand and asked me, "Do you have someone in mind? Come, eat some more rose sugar", I chewed the rose sugar while still having some Can't react.

There are several pugs squatting under her feet, with snow-white fur on all fours and knitted dog clothes on her body.I heard that the knitted dog clothes were woven by the Empress Dowager herself, and I also heard that it would be a great honor for the concubines in the palace to get something woven by the Empress Dowager herself!It can be inferred from this that concubines are not as lucky as dogs.

I heard that the dogs change their clothes once a day, which shows how idle the old lady is.

Therefore, when the old lady wrapped a scarf around my neck, I was really worried, and I wondered if the wool was broken and rewound for dog clothes.

"Look at this delicate pink, it matches your age. My child, you don't have anything to give you when you canonize Aijia. This scarf is made by Aijia after looking at the pattern for several days. Look at this How's the pattern?"

I really couldn't bear to dampen the old lady's only interest in entertainment, but the missing stitches on the scarf really made people's necks itch, so I said vaguely: "It's okay, as a person who is not used to knitting things for 'people' For a novice, you're pretty good."

There were several gasps in the hall.

Apart from me, Bai Mi, the old lady and the dog, there are also Shen Yinzi and several concubines surrounded by pearl rings and emeralds in this Shouchun Palace.

In the sound of gasping for air, the old lady laughed loudly, and turned to look at Bai Mi: "My dear grandson, you are right, this child really suits my appetite." Then she laughed again, looking at the scarf I apologized, "I'm old, and my eyes are not good." I thought about how to take the scarf off my neck calmly without hurting the old lady's self-esteem, so I looked at the sunshine outside the hall, and looked at it again. Looking at Bai Mi, I said politely: "Second brother, you entered the palace today, and you've been paying attention to your appearance. You're not dressed warmly enough..."

As she spoke, she gently wrapped the scarf around his neck and straightened it carefully for him.

The sunlight outside the hall shone in through the window lattice, making the weak and soft smile on his face clearer.

The old lady raised her forehead and said with a smile: "It seems that Aijia's scarves are very popular." Her words reminded me of a sentence I saw when I was reading a storybook recently: Aijia was able to get it through countless fierce palace battles. survived.If he hadn't experienced countless fierce palace battles and countless bloody storms, how could he have developed such a super thick skin?
The old lady left me in the palace and drove away other people, including Shen Yinzi.He carefully asked me about all the big and small things since I was born, and paid special attention to my friends of the opposite sex from the age of eight to 80. He even censored and questioned all the people and things around him to Xia Ji, which made me feel dizzy. Some wondered if she wanted to recruit Xia Ji as her son-in-law.

I accompany her for lunch, dinner, and supper.After eating supper, I finally couldn't stand it any longer. I took a nap with my head down, and was in a daze when I heard her say: "The Ai family has decided, the Ai family has decided to marry you..."

I just felt a lightning strike from the roof and hit me on the head.When I woke up, a transparent green jade bracelet was already on my wrist: "From now on, you will be my granddaughter-in-law." But I never figured out whose granddaughter-in-law I am, or who is my husband.When I got on the chariot sedan chair and returned to the palace, looking at the jade bracelet on my wrist, I still felt that my life was like a dream.No wonder some people say that wealth is like a dream, I had the most bizarre dream today... Maybe the old lady herself didn't know who to pair me with?
It was only when I saw the jade bracelet on my wrist that I became a little suspicious. Is this just a dream?

From then on, perhaps because of the increasing number of cultural landscapes in the palace garden, Shen Yinzi never visited the palace again.

It is lonely as a young man without the company of young men of equal rank.Especially if the young people around him don't know what to do, they will be even more lonely.Therefore, Shen Yinzi, a normal person, made me miss him a little. When I asked about Bai Mi... Ever since the incident on the roof, Bai Mi either gave me a frail smile or gloomy eyes, which made me very stressed.Therefore, like the housekeeper of the palace, I became one of the people who walked around looking at his figure.

After a few days, there were suddenly more people visiting the mansion, and each person came at a very unique time and place.

First of all, one day, I ate too much sugar and had a little diarrhea, so I quickened my pace and walked gracefully to the toilet.Why do I say "Pingting", because that day I wore an apricot yellow waist-length dress, which was long and fitted, and it was absolutely impossible to walk fast.After going to the palace, the queen mother and her elders sent a nanny to the palace to collect all the dresses that are not in accordance with the etiquette, leaving only the ones that are in accordance with the etiquette, so you can’t walk fast, run away Can't run too far.

The moonlight was like water, and I could clearly see the jasmine planted in front of the independent house, as if I could smell the fragrance of the jasmine, the target was getting closer, closer, and finally closer.

But unexpectedly, a figure jumped out from the side of the jasmine tree, blocking the passage and the door.

Red clothes, a face as cold as marble.

The figure stood alone against the swaying jasmine tree, and the cold moonlight covered his body with a layer of silver.

My heart was very anxious, my body was even more anxious, and my whole body was anxious.

But his eyes are frightening, like the deepest pool, the blackest rock, making it clear that I will not be allowed to enter that door.But then again, with him guarding the door, even after entering that door, I dare not go any further.

He looked at me for a long while, then suddenly said: "Looking at it under the moonlight, it really looks like flowers like cheeks and eyebrows like leaves."

I was about to retort: ​​Isn't it different if you don't look at it in the moonlight?Are flowers not as good as cheeks, and eyebrows not as good as leaves?What level are you!Unexpectedly, just as I moved my lips, his figure flickered, just like when he came, and disappeared in a flash, only the swaying jasmine reminded me that he had indeed come just now.

When I came out of the room with a sigh of relief and walked back under the moonlight, recalling his words along the way, I felt a gust of cold wind blowing into the bottom of my clothes, making me feel cold from top to bottom.

A few days later, due to the warm weather, I occasionally felt sleepy in spring. After lunch, I leaned on the low couch and fell into a daze for a while.Half asleep and half awake, I felt something extremely sweet approaching me.It has the refreshing taste of ebony mung bean cake and the richness of sweet-scented osmanthus bean cake. This is a huge pastry.Take a knife to cut it open, put a small piece into your mouth, you can imagine how sweet the taste is from the tip of the tongue to the bottom of the heart.

The pastry was really cut open, and someone put a piece to my mouth, and I took a bite.

Then came one scream after another.

I heard the sound of the pastry-cutting knife falling to the floor, and when I adjusted to the light, I realized that the pastry-cutting knife was not for cutting pastry.

Of course, big, rich, aromatic pastries aren't pastries either.

There was blood on Shen Yinzi's wrist, and she stood in front of me like pear blossoms with rain, her body trembling.Her appearance made me sympathize with a little guilt.This lady who was raised in a wealthy boudoir finally summoned up the courage to take a knife and prepare to do something and kill some people. She saw the opportunity, but she fell short. She put on the wrong perfume, which made people think it was edible Fragrant pastries.Therefore, no matter what, the details are always the most important, and some unnoticed details will always become the key to the success or failure of things in the end.

Seeing her aggrieved and unwilling expression, I felt even more guilty: "A few days ago, I thought that my sister should come, but I didn't expect my sister to come today."

I thought this question was very appropriate, and my smile was just right, but I never thought that she would scream again: "You wait for me!"

She turned around, turned her willow waist, swung her wide sleeves, lifted the veil and rushed out the door.

I picked up the knife from the ground, plucked a hair from my head, and set it down on the blade.The hair was cut into two before it even got close to the edge of the blade, which shows that this small knife is indeed a very sharp small knife.

"Ah Dan..." Xia Ji sneakily appeared from behind the veil, "Did Miss Shen come here just now? Ah!" He saw the knife in my hand and was heartbroken, "You treat me like a beast again ?”

Ever since two big bumps appeared on my father's head for no reason, no one dared to come within two meters of me when I was sleeping under normal circumstances.

He continued: "No wonder I saw her from a distance just now. She looked melancholy, with a sad face, her left hand was covering her right wrist, and her brows were frowning. This timing is exactly when the beauty needs comfort. Ah Dan, tell me, Should I go after him, or should I not go after him?"

I looked at him silently, touched a footstool from my side, and threw it over...

The footstool hit the door frame, and he shouted outside the door: "Ah Dan, then I'll catch up? It's a good thing you didn't throw the knife in your hand, which shows that you still have some care for those around us." ..."

Immediately after these people visited me at very strange times and in very strange ways, I was asked out for tea in a very normal way by people I hardly knew.These are people who are too big to refuse.For example, the mother and concubine of Bai Wending, the empress of Emperor Wu Chong, a certain concubine who is being favored, etc., plus Emperor Wu Chong's preferences and favors often change, and there are more posts inviting people to drink tea.

Each post is followed by the name of the exquisite pastry, and each name is a good name that makes people want to see the real thing when they see the name.So, every time I received a post, I struggled back and forth between going and not going, and the result of every time I struggled, my rationality of wanting to see the real thing always prevailed.

The pastry chefs in the palace come from the southeast and the northwest, and there are no less than a hundred kinds of good things with different tastes in each direction.Therefore, I don't have much time to stay in the palace. After I tasted all the flavors, I suddenly realized that I went out early and returned late every day. I was so busy that I didn't see anyone in the palace for several days.

Some people always don't want to see each other after seeing them, and miss them when they don't see each other.

So, I decided to save a day to get together with my father and the others, and made a big determination to reject the post sent by the palace, not to look at the good name that makes me tongue-tied when I see its name. With the spirit of sacrificing the ego to complete the big ego, I went to find Xia Ji and others to connect with each other.

But I searched all over the palace, especially the cultural landscape. The natural enemies and the natural enemies of the natural enemies have become close friends, sitting on each side of the pond basking in the sun, and even the steamed bun-shaped roof is glowing white, waiting for wanderers returning from afar. Wangfu Everything is fine, except that the person living inside is missing.

I searched all the places in the palace, even the mouths of crocodiles and boa constrictors... I also asked all the maids. Under their blank eyes, I finally understood that when I tasted a piece of fragrant plum blossom in the palace last night When it was time to make cakes, Dad, Xia Ji and a group of five people disappeared.

Still disappeared without a sound.

The first person I suspected was of course Bai Mi, but only then did I realize that Bai Mi had been on a business trip for several days, and I heard that Emperor Wu Chong sent him to arrest a thief who had stolen the treasure in the palace.

While I'm indulging in the sweet and savory pastry delicacy, things have changed and the world has turned upside down.

Surrounded by many maids and guards in the palace, they robbed so many people, and among them was an old man who was more cunning than a fox, a woman who would scream hysterically at any time, but did not make a sound, This made me feel a little uneasy.

Before I could figure out this uneasiness, someone sent another post in the evening.The post was on a bright yellow background, and it was sent by the father-in-law with the gold medal and purple ribbon.Those who wear gold medals and purple ribbons are generally important officials of the court with a rank of three or more, and the father-in-law in the palace. Only the father-in-law of the Qiankun Palace is eligible to wear it.Qiankun Palace is the residence of Emperor Wu Chong.

This time I don't need to worry about whether to go or not, because after the father-in-law handed over the post, he stood upright in the hall, making it clear that you have to go if you go, or you have to go if you don't go.

To me, Emperor Wu Chong is an invisible person.

I received his canonization for me, and I have come and gone in the palace for dozens of rounds, and I feel his influence all the time.To me, he is like a god and Buddha in a temple, an idol in everyone's heart, but if he is followed by gods and Buddhas wherever he goes, I guess no one can bear it.

The sedan chair sealed on all sides was like a small moving house, moving steadily into the palace. At this moment, I felt that I had really entered the palace once.When I entered the palace before, I felt all kinds of cakes, a lot of women chirping, and a lot of dogs. To sum it up: cakes, women and dogs.

There was the sound of the palace door being locked and the sound of the sound coming from outside the sedan chair, and there was a faint echo echoing between the roof ridges, and the rustling footsteps came to the ears, as if there was a rhythm of music between the steps, and one or two crows could be heard from the room occasionally. Ming... Finally, the sedan chair stopped.

In my imagination, this place should be shrouded in lights, the palace glows with a light halo, and the palace ladies in brocade suits stand or walk silently.But when I got off the sedan chair, what I saw was not the same thing at all.

There are no maids or palaces around. Even in the dark night, I can clearly see the pattern of logs on the wooden house and the uneven thatch... There are houses like this in the mountain village where I lived before. a lot of.

So, my first reaction was to look back at the father-in-law with the gold badge and purple ribbon, and then screamed very calmly: "Come on, help me."

There are crows waving their wings flutteringly between the ridges and soaring into the sky. Against the thatched cottage hidden in the darkness, it is really a scene of a dark and windy night.As I screamed, I thought about whether to run or not, and how many steps I could escape wearing such a curvaceous skirt.

But I didn't escape in the end, because under the light of the palace lantern held by the father-in-law, he had no intention of chasing him at all. At this moment, his whole body seemed to have ossified into a huge granite rock.

When my screams stopped, he swiftly interjected: "There are so many beauties around the miscellaneous family, if they want to kidnap you, they will not kidnap you!"

What he said was so hurtful.

Of course I didn't call anymore.

He may also feel that this sentence is too hurtful, so he added: "Of course, Zajia is not saying that you are not beautiful. Although you don't look beautiful, you are really beautiful, especially in the moonlight."

His incoherent speech made me feel guilty.Such a spirit who has survived countless dangerous palace battles in the palace, how frightening it must be to make him stutter!
I hurriedly bent down and saluted: "Elder-in-law, please forgive me, I didn't mean to make such a loud noise, it's true that the current scene is too surprising."

In the darkness, his chest arched and then flattened, a red cloud flashed across his face, and he regained a bit of the rigid indifference that should have been a gold medal and a purple ribbon: "This palace is the first special place in the palace, and there is no one else in it on weekdays Come here, no wonder the princess is surprised."

While talking, a man finally ran out of the dark thatched hut. He also had a gold medal and purple ribbon. He came to him and shook his whisk and said, "Eunuch Li, who was calling just now? The emperor was cleaning up, and he heard the voices outside. son."

This Eunuch Mo's nostrils are raised higher than Eunuch Li's, and the pattern on the purple ribbon is also much more complicated.After eating dim sum for so many days in the palace, in addition to tasting all kinds of flavors, I also understood a truth, that is, the person with the more upturned nostrils is more capable of coaxing people. Of course, the person he is coaxing is not you.

However, seeing a gold medal and purple ribbon again, I was completely relieved.

For Emperor Wu Chongdi, conferring a title is like bestowing a toy.Therefore, my title of princess with a different surname was not noticed by Eunuch Mo. He snorted through his nostrils and led me into the thatched cottage.
