Although Zhao Yuejiu's character is not very good, she is the emperor's favorite concubine, and her status in the harem is naturally different from others.

Just the day after threatening her, Tang Xiaobai and Nan Sui received a holy decree, saying that there were ghosts and monsters in the palace recently, and they were asked to search each dormitory in the harem one by one, and they must catch the strange things.

With the Chrysostom Jade Order, it is naturally much easier to check. After that, Tang Xiaobai and Nansui spent seven days checking the various dormitories in the palace one by one.

It's just a search, although the harem is full of chickens and dogs, but the result is still nothing, they didn't find the cat demon, they did their best but didn't see results, they couldn't find it for so long, it couldn't help but make people a little frustrated.

Speaking of which, there are many concubines in the palace, most of them are from prominent backgrounds, and there are not a few people who have practiced immortal arts and have spiritual power, but their spiritual power is low, and they are not like that demon.

Maybe it's really outside the palace.

Or perhaps, that demon can not only hide the demonic energy, but also hide the spiritual power from being perceived?

After Tang Xiaobai and Nansui discussed, they decided to send a letter to Jing Yu first to inform them of the result, so that they could continue to search for the whereabouts of the cat demon outside the palace.

......

Another day.

On this day, when Tang Xiaobai and Nansui arrived at the Grace Palace, Li Hao did not see Li Hao feeding the cat in the courtyard.

Only Baozhu squatted on the ground and played with the little black cat.

Seeing Tang Xiaobai and the two of them coming, she hurriedly made a shushing gesture and whispered, "Niangniang doesn't seem to be in a good mood today, reading a book." ”

Nansui nodded, squatted down and played with the cat with Baozhu.

After a month of getting along, although the investigation of the cat demon gained little, they became friends with the queen and the little maid Baozhu, and the four of them often chatted and played together, and the atmosphere was harmonious. It can also be called a lost horse, and it is not a blessing.

Zhao Yuejiu has never been to the Grace Palace since he was bluffed by Tang Xiaobai that day, and even the arrogance that has always been arrogant on weekdays has been restrained a lot.

As for the investigation of the ghost's troubles, he was later fooled by Tang Xiaobai with a simple trick and used it to appease people's hearts.

Now that the palace is stable and peaceful, they have nothing to worry about, just three days later is New Year's Day, so they came to resign, planning to go back to the Jin Palace, to celebrate the festival with Jing Yu and others.

Nansui squatted on the ground and teased the cat with Baozhu, "Why is Niangniang suddenly in a bad mood?

Orb shook her head, "Not really. But I don't know exactly why. ”

The queen in the house suddenly spoke, "Baozhu, but Xiaobai and they are here?"

Baozhu hurriedly replied, "Exactly, I'm here to leave." ”

"Come on in, then. ”

... The curtains are ajar and the light is soft.

The queen was leaning on the chaise longue, reading a book in her hand, with tears faintly in the corners of her eyes.

Seeing them coming, he barely held up a smile, "Come, come and sit." ”

Nansui hurriedly went over and sat beside her, "What's wrong with Niangniang?"

The queen wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, held the book and said, "I'm too fascinated by it, and I'm moving." ”

Nan Sui sighed, "What is the book about?"

The queen held the book, "It is a story about a poor woman and a general." ”

Nansui tilted her head and thought for a while, "The woman was in distress and was saved by the general?"

The queen should be.

"The beginning of love, with a personal promise?"

The queen should be.

"One of the last parties died?"

The queen wondered, "Have you seen it?"

Nansui laughed, "Most of these folk tales are telling stories like this, they are the same, and it's not interesting to read too much." ”

The queen had no choice but to say, "It's me who is lonely and unheard." ”

Still holding the book tightly, I can't put it down, "It's just that this word is really well written." ”

"Happy all night, don't go through the years, don't be more happy and less than the day...

I know that there will be no long-term plan, and the cool toad is not yet round..."

The queen sighed, "The word love has lost the eyes of many people, and how many people's hearts have been broken." ”

Nan Sui couldn't help but ask, "Niangniang, do you feel nostalgic because you think of the emperor?"

Baozhu, who was standing on the side, coughed a few times and gave Nansui a look.

Nansui suddenly realized and hurriedly covered her mouth.

She really can't open any pot. Knowing that the emperor was in love with Zhao Yuejiu, he still wanted to ask like this, which made the queen sad.

The queen didn't seem to mind, and asked Nan Sui, "Do you have anyone you like?"

Nansui's appearance suddenly appeared in his mind, and he was shocked, and he shook his head vigorously, shook his figure away, and replied categorically, "No." ”

The queen smiled, Nan Sui's appearance was clearly remembering someone, but she deliberately pretended not to care.

"Have you ever fished?"

Nansui was stunned, "No..."

"Sometimes I like someone, it's like this fish that has bitten a hook - it has fallen into a trap, but it is still swimming forward unconsciously. ”

Nansui didn't seem to understand, "The fish that bites the hook...?"

The queen laughed and reached out and nodded her forehead, "You'll understand later." ”

As he spoke, he put down the scroll in his hand, stretched lazily, and inadvertently picked up a string of bells at his feet and sounded softly.

Tang Xiaobai and Nan Sui's eyes were attracted by the crisp bell sound, and their eyes fell on a string of foot ornaments hanging from the queen's ankles.

It was a string of anklets made of several black beads and bells strung together, and it looked chic and strange.

I saw that the queen had always been dressed neatly, but I never noticed that she still had such ornaments on her body.

The queen noticed the gaze of the two and subconsciously shrank back.

"The ornament on the mother's feet looks chic. Tang Xiaobai retracted his gaze and said.

The queen replied with a smile, "My mother was born in Cheung Chau in the west, and the people there are different from the people of Kyoto in terms of appearance, customs and language. I wore it and thought about it. ”

Nansui was a little surprised, "It turns out that Niangniang's mother is from so far away. ”

After thinking about it, he nodded again, "But when I think about it this way, Niangniang seems to have been born not quite like ordinary Kyoto people, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she is good-looking of other kinds." ”

The queen pursed her lips and smiled, bowing her head and pleasing to her eyes, and her beauty became more and more moving.

Tang Xiaobai looked at her thoughtfully.

"I wonder when the queen and the emperor got married?"

The queen thought for a moment, "It's been almost three years." ”

Baozhu said twice, "At that time, the emperor was still the crown prince." ”

Tang Xiaobai asked, "For so long, has there been nothing?"

Speaking of this, Baozhu couldn't help but be indignant, "Who knows why? Our mother was obviously born with a beautiful country, but the emperor just ignored her, we..."

"Orb. The queen glared at her, "Don't talk to Your Majesty. ”

"Mother..."Baozhu's nose was sour. I didn't expect my mother to be so cold, but I still didn't forget to protect the emperor.

Tang Xiaobai agreed, "The jewel is covered with dust, but it shouldn't be." ”

I looked at the sky again, and it was not too early. So he and Nansui got up to say goodbye and prepared to leave the palace.

The queen nodded, and after saying goodbye, she continued to pick up the scroll and flip through it, carefully and attentively.

When Baozhu escorted them to the door, they could vaguely hear the queen of the house slowly reading the words from the book.

"Autumn grass grows on the moon every year, and the sun sets in the building every day.

The clouds are misty, the water is vast, and there is a long way to recruit people to return.

Acacia is a no-nonsense word, don't waste tears on the flower note. ”
