Chapter 88: Sudaji's Fox Nightmare (3)
The civil and military officials were originally slandered by the king because of a woman and his important ministers, and when he heard that the king wanted to have a banquet in the Xianqing Hall to get this woman, all the loyal ministers and good generals were afraid that he would mislead the country because of his beauty, and he was slightly angry with Daji. When she heard that it was Daji who persuaded the king to change her mind, the people who were a little angry with her also changed their impression of her. Daji has shown a virtuous side, at least no one can blame her.
When Empress Jiang heard that the king had a concubine who was both virtuous and beautiful, she summoned Daji to meet her.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon has cultivated for thousands of years, and although he has not really lived in a crowd, he has seen a variety of people who can cope with simple communication, but that's all. She has not yet adapted to life in the palace, and does not know that the king will pamper her to the point of letting her do whatever she wants, and Han Ruo decides to use this blind spot in her cognition as a starting point.
"Nine-Tailed Fox Demon, do you know what Empress Jiang told you to do?" Han Ruo said to the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon in Daji's mind.
"You know?"
"Hmm. She's here to reward you!"
"Really?" the fox was greedy, and the nine-tailed fox demon's voice immediately became excited, and he was still interested in the "reward".
"Really, the king's will to persuade you to return yesterday was so that you could get the reward later. You can accept this reward today, and you will ask the queen for another reward. β
"Can you still take the initiative?" A lot of colorful gems appeared in the head of the nine-tailed fox demon, as well as gold and silver jewelry.
"Yes, but you can't mess around with what you want. Something else didn't arrive, but someone else packed it up. β
"And what do you want me to want?"
"I want you to ask the queen to help you send the begonia flower bloom Ruyi jade Peito Queen Jiang to your father and report safety. β
"What kind of reward is this!" the nine-tailed fox demon said disapprovingly. Ever since she lived in the palace, she had long since left Su Hu out of her head. Su Hu is not her real father.
"Nine-tailed fox demon, you are a demon and don't know the rules of the world. If you do what I say, you'll get more rewards. Otherwise, you won't be able to get along sooner or later. You and I are now one, and the interests are the same, I won't harm you, otherwise it's not me who will be hurt?"
The nine-tailed fox demon rarely heard "Daji" speak so strictly, and thought that yesterday "Daji" knew in advance that it was the ministers who were rewarded by the king of Zhou, not her affairs, and couldn't help but be a little shaken.
"Do you really think so?"
"What else can I think? If you do something wrong, you can walk away, and it's not me who is responsible? Anyway, I can't drive you away, and you can't do anything with me, it's better to unite and cooperate. After you complete the task assigned by Nuwa Niangniang, return my body to me, you will be your free fairy, and I will live my life, how about it?"
After thinking about it for a while, Han Ruo felt that only by pretending to cooperate with the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon first, so that she would stop targeting herself for the time being, and slowly gain her trust, could she wait for the opportunity to regain her body.
"How can I trust you?" the fox demon is wise, and the wise people are suspicious. When the nine-tailed fox asked this, he actually recognized Han Ruo's words.
"Empress Jiang was originally going to send you a female official, because you listened to me yesterday, so she shouldn't send it to you again, and she will ask the king to give you a position. Teaching female officials is to teach you how to walk, talk, and eat, and if you don't learn well, you will be beaten to the board, and now you have been saved from these troubles. Queen Jiang will tell you later. β
The reason why Han Ruo dared to say this was because in her previous life, after Daji entered the palace, the king of Xuan feasted and rewarded her because of her, which caused negative comments from hundreds of officials. Empress Jiang went to reprimand Daji, saying that she was the daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou and should have received a good education, and she was still hesitant to send a female teacher to her, but she caused criticism to the king, and immediately sent her a strict female teacher to teach her the rules. The nine-tailed fox demon is here to enjoy happiness, where is it to endure hardships and suffering? The contradiction with Empress Jiang directly worsened.
Han Ruo's foot in this life can not only be used to entrap the nine-tailed fox demon, but also avoid the deterioration of the contradictions between them.
"Well, if what you say is true, I'll believe you, and it's up to you. "If you dare to lie to me, then we'll see!" The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon didn't say the last sentence, but thought in his heart.
"Daji" came to the main palace hall of Empress Jiang, and Han Ruotong GuΓ² Daji's eyes saw that Empress Jiang was a middle-aged woman with a faded face and solemn makeup. Although she put on a gentle expression, the color of Yan SΓΉ between the corners of her eyebrows and eyes was faintly recognizable.
Empress Jiang is known as virtuous, the so-called virtuous virtue is to take care of the emperor's backyard, conscientiously deal with all kinds of miscellaneous affairs, and advise the emperor to be diligent in court politics, but not to let go of pleasure with the emperor. What kind of flirting, coquettish, jealousy, these daughters' attitudes will not exist, and even if there is, they can't be expressed. This kind of symbolic appearance can only get the respect of men, but not the love of men.
"The concubine bows to the queen! The queen is a thousand years old!" Han Ruo has been instilling in the nine-tailed fox demon the concept of "the queen has the greatest power in the harem and must listen to the queen", and she has not yet given birth to the mind of β‘β‘ with the queen, so she is very obedient.
"Get up! worthy of being the daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou, this look, this character, I like it very much!" Queen Jiang smiled and helped up "Daji".
"I was very relieved to hear about your cousin yesterday. We have another sister in our harem who is both virtuous and beautiful. Originally, the palace was still hesitant to send a female official to teach you court etiquette, it seems that there is no need, you don't understand to ask the palace maid, and after a while you will get used to it. β
Sure enough, it was said by Daji again. When the nine-tailed fox demon heard this, he deeply felt that Daji was not so simple. Since we can't completely eliminate her, let's cooperate for the time being, lest she affect her own plans.
"Concubine, thank you for the queen's concern!" "Daji" bent her knees and bowed again.
"Sister doesn't have to be polite! It is the duty of this palace to reward virtue and punish excessively. The palace will turn around and ask the king to give you a suitable position, these are the rewards of the palace, do you like it?" Queen Jiang pointed to the things held in the hands of a row of maids next to her, including all kinds of silk cloth, pearls and jades.
This is exactly what the nine-tailed fox wants. She touched a peach-colored Luo Chou, picked up a string of gold sapphire armbands, and picked up a pearl flower pendant tassel step shake, all of them couldn't put it down, and they couldn't wait to wear it on themselves immediately.
The place where she practiced was Xuanyuan Tomb, in the wilderness, what good things could she have? Wandering among the people, she was always afraid of being discovered and arrested by people who had attained the Tao, so she didn't dare to stay in a prosperous place. What good things can there be in the poor countryside? Now that I have come to the palace and received these rewards, these things in the palace are good at first glance, where can I compare with the ones outside? The nine-tailed fox demon just wants to take them all back immediately.
"Thank you, reward, stupid!" Han Ruo saw that the nine-tailed fox demon couldn't hold it anymore, and quickly reminded her.
As soon as the nine-tailed fox was scolded, he realized that he still had something to do! Quickly put down the jewelry in his hand, turned around and knelt down to Queen Jiang and said: "The concubine likes these things very much, thank you for the love of the mother! But the concubine wants another reward." β
"What reward? β
"Daji" picked the piece of begonia blossom Ruyi jade pendant from the waist, held it to Queen Jiang with both hands and said: "The concubine wants to ask Niangniang to hand over this jade pendant to my father, so she said that I am okay and don't have to worry about it." β
Queen Jiang just saw that "Daji" had her eyes shining at those jewels, and she was wondering in her heart that Su Hu's daughter should not be greedy for money and good things, and now when she heard these words, she naturally put aside the doubts just now. I think it's just the girl's love for beauty!
"What a filial girl, you remind this palace of when I first entered the palace. This palace has promised you, get up quickly!" Empress Jiang had a kind face on her face, took the jade pendant in the hand of "Daji", and helped her up.
Su Hu received the begonia blossoming jade pendant that Queen Jiang transferred to her, and she had mixed feelings. He was the Marquis of Jizhou and increased the status of his relatives. But in his eyes, this was exchanged for his daughter's happiness, and he did not feel happy and honored at all. The only thing that can comfort him in the past few days is that he heard that the king likes Daji very much, and he also listened to Daji's good advice not to reward him indiscriminately. For the Su family, who have made a name for their military merits, it is a shame to be rewarded for their daughter, not for their military merits. Fortunately, my daughter understood herself and did not let herself suffer this humiliation.
This begonia blossom wishful jade pendant was hung by her daughter when she was one year old. Su Hu kept it close to him.
He knew from the beginning that his daughter, with her beautiful appearance and elegant appearance, would definitely be taken by the king. My daughter is now fine, and she can return to Jizhou with confidence. I only hope that the king can take pity on her and not treat her badly!
At this time, in the jade pillar cave of Zhongnan Mountain, the Taoist under the Primordial Tianzun Gate watched the sky in the middle of the night, and saw the demonic aura in the direction of Chaoge. He pinched his fingers and knew that there were monsters infiltrating the court, but they had not caused a catastrophe yet. If the monster disturbs the court, interferes in the government, and leads to chaos in the world, the people of Li will suffer the most. He took advantage of the chaos to help the big merchants. So he sharpened a wooden sword and went to see the king.
In this era, immortal cultivators and mortals were not as separated as they were in later generations. Hermits who live in the mountains, dignitaries who live in temples, can cultivate immortals. It is common for people who have attained the Tao to visit the eunuchs and emperors and actively give good advice on governing the world. Therefore, after hearing this, Yun Zhongzi met the king of Xuan.
King Xuan was very happy when he saw Yun Zhongzi Immortal Wind Dao Bone, and his temperament was very good. The two of them talked about Taoism, and the cultural cultivation of the king was not low, as if he also had a little talent for learning Taoism, and he listened to it with relish.
Yun Zhongzi sat here and talked, observing the conversation of the king and the situation of the harem, and the more he observed, the more he wondered.
Although this king is ignorant, a little overjoyed, and self-serving, he is not a fool who doesn't make sense. There are so many good ministers and loyal generals in the middle of the court, so it is right that the country will not be destroyed. At present, the biggest variable is the monster in the palace.
But according to his observations from here, although the monster was profound and full of inferior energy, it seemed to have a subtle aura entangled with it. Could it be that there are other variables in this matter?
