Chapter 6: The Master of the Harem
After resting for a long time, it was almost dinner time, according to the rules of the palace, Mi Huang pinched a little and prepared to meet the current master of the harem, her current mother, Princess Wu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Ziyan Palace is the most luxurious palace in the harem except for Chaoxi Palace, the interior is exquisite and dazzling, and every detail reveals the supreme favor of the king of Chu for his concubine.
Si Qin took the first step to the eaves of the main hall and passed on to the people guarding the palace: "Please pass it on, the eldest princess has come to say hello to Princess Wu." ā
Mi Huang waited respectfully in the main hall of the Purple Smoke Palace, and after a while, an old lady wearing a dark gray cotton robe covered with a black brocade collar robe led four flower-like maids out to greet her: "Slaves and maids greet the princess." ā
"Mama Liu is exempt. ā
Mama Liu didn't bend down at all, so Mi Huang smiled and politely supported her, and at the same time looked at the hall behind her and asked softly, "Is the concubine in the palace?" "This specialty is naturally available all over the streets of Xuancheng, and Si Jian can buy it casually, and almost everyone in the entire harem has a copy, even the King of Chu She also kept a copy.
"Yes. Mama Liu said, not deliberately talking too much, nor much respect, with a gloomy face full of wrinkles, she got up and led Mihuang in.
Mi Huang had long been accustomed to it, and calmly followed behind Mama Liu, with a hint of sharpness flashing in her eyes.
Si Qin's eyes and nose looked at his nose, and his nose and heart followed silently and politely.
The Purple Smoke Palace where Princess Wu lives can be described as extremely luxurious, presumably the objects that can be taken by the entire harem of Chu are probably in this palace, and even the white jade and gold silk princess couch lying under her is said to be carved by a whole piece of white jade transported from the southwest by the King of Chu in order to make up for all the mistakes he has made. First of all, Queen Sun died of illness, and then there was no queen mother to suppress her, the king of Chu still loved her like a jewel, Princess Wu did not have the title of queen, and her identity and status are now the highest in the entire harem, and she deserves to be the lord of the harem.
When Mi Huang entered, he saw a mature and charming woman in a gorgeous six-tailed phoenix robe from a distance, half leaning on the golden silk princess's jade couch, holding a string of rare purple beads shining with streamer in her hand, with a smile on her face, no different from three years ago, she raised her eyelids when she came in, and said lazily, "Huang'er, I'm back!"
This person is Princess Wu, the woman's appearance is well-maintained, although it is not beautiful from the face, but the appearance and figure are outstanding, plus she is a master who laughs when she sees people, and the palace praises her virtuous and virtuous, if it is not for the power of Sun Hou, and her mother's background is really not rich, I am afraid that she will become a veritable queen a few years earlier.
In her previous life, Mi Huang was once curious, why did the King of Chu look at such a middle-class princess Wu in his eyes, to say that there were more beautiful young concubines in the palace than her, but in this life, she has been in the royal academy and generals for more than ten years, and she finally realized that Princess Wu is more popular than her own mother.
As the saying goes, those who win hearts and minds win the world, in the army, among the people, in the harem, and those who win the sacred heart win the world.
"Mother!"
Mi Huang took the lead in meeting him with a smile on his face, a little more enthusiastic than when he met the King of Chu just now, and he didn't care at all about the casualness in the eyes of the other party.
Princess Wu has always claimed to treat Mi Huang as her own in front of the King of Chu, but is it in her palace?
The courtesy of the line should not be bad at all.
Mi Huang kowtowed respectfully three times on the ground, only to hear the woman on the jade throne say casually, "Huang'er, don't be polite! Mama showed the princess the seat! I lost weight outside, but I suffered a lot?"
"Thank you, Princess!" Mi Huang respectfully thanked her again, and did not take a seat immediately as she said, but spread her sleeves and turned around in place, and asked with a smile, "Mother, can you see whether Huang'er is strong or thin now? Why do I feel that my waist is stronger now!"
Si Qin also smiled on the side, "Today, the same is true for my princess to check, is it fat or thin?" ā
"A princess, what's the use of being so strong?!" Princess Wu leaned on her white forehead when she heard this, and lay back on her princess's jade couch and said, "But now that your father has pointed out a child-like son for you, whether you are fat or thin is up to others, and the mother concubine doesn't care." ā
When he smiled and spoke, he seemed so easy-going, like a mother.
Mi Huang smiled more and more gently at the woman who was recuperating with her half-closed eyes above, "Mother concubine, even you are making fun of people with this faceless girl." ā
Mama Liu also laughed when she heard this, but this smile was a little cold.
Princess Wu waved her hand casually, in the past few days, for the marriage of Mi Huang and Ziyan, her in-law daughter has made trouble many times, and she can't help but feel a little more annoyed when she hears this again, "Okay, the man should get married and the woman should get married, the king is in charge of this matter, you can wait to marry with peace of mind." ā
"Thank you, Mother Princess, Si Qin will quickly send the special products of the city that I specially collected for my mother. Mi Huang enthusiastically opened up the special products brought back by Xuancheng.
"Yes, Princess. "Bags of local shiitake mushrooms that I don't know what they are, and the souvenirs of the stove cakes are packed in exquisite palace jade boxes by Siqin.
Mama Liu didn't even glance at the gift box and asked someone to accept it quickly, and she didn't praise very sincerely, "The eldest princess really has a 'heart' for the princess!"
Princess Wu didn't even look at it, and the palace maid below waited for her to taste a piece of hibiscus smoke cloud cake before continuing, "The thing is sent by the person below, so you don't have to run here in person." ā
Mi Huang knew that this was the scene of the words, so he couldn't take it seriously, and replied with a restrained smile, "Hengzhu's daughter is idle when she returns to the palace, so she should come over to see her mother, and by the way, she respects and teaches her by her mother's side, so as not to worry about her son." ā
Si Qin said with a smile, "The princess didn't come to see the princess at all, I'm afraid that the chef in the kitchen here is the one who thinks about the mother!"
"Just talk too much. "But I have to say that Princess Wu is really good at everything here, eating and drinking are all excellent, no matter how good her grandfather is, he can't reach into this palace compound, not to mention that there is still a Princess Wu who has hands and eyes in the sky.
Princess Wu didn't open her eyes for a moment, so she waved her jade hand, "Dinner is coming, Mama Liu, let's call someone to have a banquet!"
"Yes!" Mama Liu promised to go out and prepare.
"Mother, start the banquet quickly, I'm starving!"
A delicate voice sounded faintly in the hall, and the person was still in front of the palace, and the sound had already reached the hall, and after a while, a woman in purple clothes and jade with fluttering rings and rings ran in. In this Ziyan Palace and even the harem, it is naturally Princess Wu's daughter, the third princess Mi Zhao.
A maid in a goose yellow dress hurriedly stepped forward to bring her a cup of new tea and handed it to her, only to see that she just took a sip and threw the whole cup of tea on the other party's face, ", you want to burn me to death!"
"Ahh
"Your face! You still have a face! If this princess had just drunk this cup of tea, wouldn't it be the same as you. Mi Zhao's face was full of anger, and his little foot in riding boots kicked the maid's chest hard, venting the unknown anger in his heart.
"Princess, forgive your sins!" another maid in a goose yellow dress pleaded anxiously for her, "Please spare Qin Qing this time." ā
"Hmph, come on, throw her into the jade pond in the back garden, and feed my father's white dragon. With a wave of his hand, he didn't bother to listen, and the two attendants rushed forward and dragged Qin Qing, who had been kicked out, like a dead fish.
The so-called "white dragon" is actually a big white snake that is more than two zhang long, and the legs of an adult man are so thick, according to legend, it is the reincarnation of the dragon, just waiting for the day when the dragon soars into a dragon, you can carry the king of that generation to ascend to heaven together, and was dedicated to the former king of Chu Cheng by a nobleman, and after King Chu Mu succeeded to the throne, because he was afraid, he transferred it to Princess Wu, who loved rare and exotic beasts.
The owner who can like a cold-blooded animal like a snake must also be a cold-blooded one.
"The princess is angry!" the princess is gracious......" The maid cried as she watched her sister being pulled out, and kowtowed incessantly.
"Help, sister......"
In the back garden outside the hall, a woman's sharp screams and desperate cries could be heard from afar.
"Qin Qing, don't ......"
Qin Hong trembled, a pair of small hands tightly grasped the fluffy felt under him, and the sound of teeth fighting up and down could be heard by almost everyone.
Mi Huang, who has never been timid in front of the thousands of troops and horses of Yongguo, and has not flinched in countless life and death battles, but his face is as white as paper at this time, and a pair of jade hands holding the tea cup are hidden in his sleeves, and his five fingers are clenched, and he can't help but tremble slightly.
Even sitting in the main hall dozens of zhang away, she could clearly hear the cold snake, with its huge body two zhang long, tightly wrapped around Qin Qing's weak body, and made the familiar sound of "Ge-Ge" that strangled human bones one by one, which made her creepy and couldn't help but recall the misery of her previous life again and again.
In her previous life, she died in the belly of this "white dragon", she was entangled by the giant snake like Qin Qing today, unable to breathe, unable to call for help, the huge snake body was a little stronger, slowly strangled her leg bones from below, and then up a little bit, and then her vertebrae, her body was crooked and weak, she was dragged into the cold pool water by the white snake, leaving only a head and hands still on the pool surface, and a pair of black brocade five-tailed phoenix feather official boots appeared in the sight for help Step by step towards the edge of the pool.
Instinctively, she stretched out her hands and desperately begged for help from the people by the pool.
But no matter how hard she tried, she could only reach the corner of the man's black phoenix robe, and the man who was tall above didn't look at her, crossed her, crossed the white dragon pool, and walked slowly towards Mi Zhao, who was wearing a nine-tailed phoenix robe not far away!
Why can everyone be so indifferent to her existence, the father who gave birth to her but did not exist for her, the queen mother who raised her for seven years but abandoned her alone, and the man who didn't care about her before she died, as if she was a speck of dust on the ground.
She should have been the same as the young women in this palace, with fine clothes and food, beautiful maids like clouds, and a large number of followers who came in and out, and she should even be more noble than her, and she was respected by thousands of people.
Why is fate so unfair, one in heaven and one on earth?
Despair, pain, and resentment made her fall at that moment, casting her into a lifetime of hatred.
That last struggle for help has become a nightmare for her for countless nights, and even now, she still does not dare to get within ten steps of the white dragon.
But she swore that in the year of rebirth, she would cut this snake under the sword, break the corpse into thousands of pieces, and pay tribute to her soul in her previous life.
