Chapter 5: Sister

- Divine Decree?

Am I going to take the order? How should I pick it up?

Kneel down immediately, or bathe and burn incense before setting up an altar to make incense?

After a moment of panic, I calmed down and looked at Yan Ke who was walking beside the man with a blank face—she didn't care about my indifference in the slightest, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Royal Highness, the emperor heard that your jade body is unharmed, and specially ordered you to enter the palace for a while." The Emperor's herald was a middle-aged woman with a long face, who smiled kindly at my coldness.

“…… Well. "After thinking about it for a long time, I could only hold back one word.

"There is a female official Laohu, and after His Royal Highness freshens up, he will enter the palace to meet His Majesty...... Please go to the middle hall for a short rest. Yan Ke took the holy decree in the other party's hand and handed it to the attendant behind him quite casually, although there was a polite smile on his face, his tone was unquestionable.

The female officer nodded habitually, and headed in the direction of the central hall under the guidance of the attendant.

-- As far as I know, there are two kinds of princes who dare to neglect the decree in this way...... Either the power is in the hands of the plot to start an incident, or it is not far from the raider.

I only hope that Kuang Xihan is the third kind of person who is favored by the emperor and is uninhibited.

"Your Highness, but you want to go to the Moon Palace?" Yan Ke glanced coldly at the eight young men who were showing off their flowers—several of them stood with their hands down, and they didn't dare to look at them again.

"Ahem, no, this king is just...... Pass by. I pulled at the accessories around my waist in embarrassment, not daring to make eye contact with her.

But she smiled knowingly, and didn't expose me, but just waved his hand and ordered the attendants behind the young man: "Take all the servants back-the palace □□is weak, how can you delay in pleasure?" From now on, there will be no summons, and you will not be allowed to leave the Lanyue Hall without reason. ”

With a look, several guards behind her stopped the unwilling teenagers with their swords, and also blocked their cries in their throats, and left one after another aggrieved.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This sentence is equivalent to grounding these eight teenagers, although I feel sorry for them, but it cannot be said to me is not a relief-I am not confident that I can spend more than a moment with these bewitching teenagers.

It can also be seen that Yan Ke's majesty in this palace is even more than that of Kuang Xihan, the main master.

"Your Highness, you have to be very careful when you enter the palace this time, it is difficult to guarantee that that person will not take the opportunity to make trouble," After the idlers dispersed, Yan Ke looked at me with a worried face and said in a deep voice, "Although she will not do it in public, you must be careful that she is secretly cheating." ”

- Is it true that as she said, Kuang Xiqing, the sister of this body is actually insisting on putting her to death?

She is already the lord of the world, the supreme emperor, why do she still do this?

Could it be that this is the fate of the people in the royal family, and they can't escape the drama of cannibalism?

Even as an outsider, I can't help but feel a trace of sadness under the cold, and the depression and pain in my chest are all the remnants of the original owner's feelings.

"The king remembers." I nodded solemnly, inevitably anxious about the next meeting with the Emperor.

"I'll send Bingyi to follow you for close protection." Xu saw that my face was pale, and Yan Ke had invited a woman with a plain appearance and temperament - only those calm eyes showed a hint of extraordinary.

I realized that it was not for nothing that this person was able to come out on top.

And these eyes reminded me of Jiang Zhuo - it seems that I can only wait until I come out of the palace to have the opportunity to see her again.

Hurriedly returning to the bedroom, changing into a more solemn set of regular clothes, redressing my clothes, I took Bingyi and Xiao Cicada to sit in the royal chariot brought by Lady Hu—this bright yellow carriage with deep-sea pearls on the top was much more luxurious than the blue silk carriage she rode on...... It is also conspicuous.

If there are gangsters who cause trouble, won't they aim at the target at a glance?

I sat back on a soft and comfortable pillow, and the cicada thumped my legs for me, falling asleep with the jolting of the wheels.

The carjacking that I guessed when I was bored did not happen, and I came to the gate of the palace without incident.

The palace of the Great Wu Kingdom is not as majestic and solemn as I thought, but it has a beautiful and elegant charm, no wonder it is a female-dominated regime; Even though most of the women here are powerful and stronger than men, they still retain a bit of gentleness and femininity in their bones.

Outside the main entrance of the palace, several carriages and sedan chairs were parked, and people dressed in standard robes of different colors came and went in twos and threes, like officials of high rank; When they saw me, they all showed negative feelings without exception—some turned around as if they didn't see me, some sneered disdainfully and walked away, and some cowered and ran away; Only one or two bowed to me from afar, but with a flattering smile on their faces, which was annoying.

I shook my head, but I didn't see it-this Kuang Xihan's popularity was indeed worse than I expected, and I don't know what kind of attitude the people on the throne have towards her?

"His Royal Highness King Ling, please come with the slave maid, Your Majesty has been waiting in the Shiyu Hall for a long time." A beautiful pink-clad maid blessed me, and behind her several guards in bright armor saluted me without squinting—I always felt that they looked at me with a little hatred in their eyes...... I hope it's just that I'm too careful.

"Hmm." Listening more, seeing more, talking less, and doing less, I nodded, and followed the maid to a beautiful palace. The door of the hall was open, and there were rows of guards with swords on either side, and a long red carpet was spread in the middle, but I had the illusion that I would never return.

"His Majesty only allows King Ling to see alone." The pink-clothed maid smiled humbly, but there was no doubt about the movements of Bingyi and Xiao Cicada.

I froze for a moment, but I couldn't take back the steps, so I could only continue to step across the red carpet and walk towards the temple gate at the end.

Crossing the threshold, stepping on the mirror-like jade floor tiles, and slowly closing the heavy door behind me, my heart suddenly lifted.

- Well, take one step at a time, be calm, calm down!

I pinched my palms and strolled into the inner sanctum, carefully surveying the quiet, excessive palace.

All kinds of utensils are exquisite, and even the copper basin in the corner is carved with intricate and magnificent ornaments. My gaze swept over the objects that were works of art, and my eyes finally fixed on the back of the person sitting on the soft couch by the window playing against me.

There seemed to be an inexplicable throbbing in my body, my heart beating like a drum, I couldn't help myself, and tears fell uncontrollably from my eyes—as if this body had been detached from my consciousness and occupied by another soul.

The sound of my tears hitting the tiles overlapped with the sound of the chess pieces falling on the board, but the other seemed to notice my gaze, caressed the hem of his clothes, and turned around leisurely—it was as plain as spring plum blooming snow, and its purity was like autumn chrysanthemum frost; Its text is like a dragon swimming in the swamp, and its god is like the moon shooting the cold river.

And this woman who taught me to be amazed is actually fifty or sixty percent similar to Jiang Zhuo!

"Why, a serious illness, you actually forgot about me?" Seeing that I was just staring at her intently, neither saluting nor speaking, the woman smiled slightly, her phoenix eyes hooked up a touch of grace, but her voice was as clean as a handful of snow water, even if it was funny, it was so elegant that people could not feel the slightest frivolity.

"I ...... You ......" I opened my mouth, but I stammered out a complete sentence, and my heart was only annoyed—the stupidity just now must have been taught to her.

In this huge hall, there is only one other party, plus she calls herself "I", her identity is clearly revealed, it is the emperor of the Great Wu Kingdom, Kuang Xihan's sister, Kuang Xiqing.

- Should I kneel down and say long live, or should I sit next to her affectionately?

If it was Kwong Xihan at this time, what would she do?

When I was so nervous that I broke out in a cold sweat, Kuang Xiqing had already stood up, walked up to me gracefully, put her bare hand on my forehead, frowned and asked, "Han'er, but the illness has flare up again?" I immediately called the Imperial Doctor to come over. ”

"No, no!" I subconsciously grabbed her palm—the skin was like clotted fat, and the hand was like a soft wattle, so I couldn't help but pinch it a few more times, "I'm fine." ”

There is a refreshing fragrance on her body, like the fragrance of morning begonias, but with such an elegant and dusty temperament, it is too sweet.

"But tired?" She raised her eyebrows in surprise, but did not withdraw her hand, but smiled comfortingly, pulled me to the soft couch where she was sitting before, and sat down with me, "Yes, you are weak, you must be tired from the palace gate all the way to the Shiyu Palace...... I complained that I was not thoughtful, and I should send the royal chariot to pick you up. ”

I sat down on the couch as she pleased, but like a student who had been called to the office, just staring down at my own reflection on the floor tiles, as if I could see a flower—every word about Kwong Xiqing made me feel helpless, and it seemed that it was not just the after-effects of the original body.

"Knowing that you love to drink this pear fruit tea, I specially asked the imperial dining room to prepare one." As if she hadn't noticed my restraints, she naturally pushed the green radish tangled tea cup on the table, smiling lightly, completely ignoring the domineering of the emperor, staring at me with a gentle gaze that made people tremble.

- If it weren't for Yan Keqian's warnings to be careful of this imperial sister before he came, I really can't believe that a woman with such watery eyes would have malicious intentions towards her sister.

Not to mention the original owner, even I, who saw her for the first time, were almost impressed by her inadvertent charm with a smile and a smile.

"Thank you." I picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, it was still that sweet and greasy taste, for the taste buds of only some light dishes in the past few days, it has reached the point of bitterness, it is really hard to imagine what kind of mood Kuang Xihan used to drink a few times a day.

Peeking through the gap between the tea lids, her straight and slender eyebrows lifted slightly, as if surprised that I thanked her; And when I put down the teacup with just a sip, the look of surprise became more and more obvious.

"Dry for a while before drinking." That's what I had to explain.

"In that case, Han'er will talk to me about a game." She slowly and methodically put the pieces on the board into the basket, then looked at me with a smile of interest and made a "please" gesture.

- Playing chess?

Since I was a child, I have been grinding against the old man, but I have dabbled in it...... But I know that some masters can analyze and judge a person's personality traits from the chess path; And I don't even know what Kwong Xihan's chess skills are, let alone imitate them.

"I'm not in good spirits today, so let's do another day." After taking the pear fruit tea and drinking it in one gulp, I forcibly swallowed the astringency in my mouth and returned an apologetic smile.

"That's fine." She picked up a black jade chess piece disappreciatively, and landed on the chessboard by herself, and then picked up a white jade chess piece and landed on the other side, so she played with herself back and forth, "Han'er will go to the Chaolu Hall to rest first, and then dine with you after I finish handling political affairs." ”

- I really shouldn't be fooled by her gentle appearance, where can I sit in this position?

The confrontation is only a few words, but between the lines is all a temptation, if you stay any longer, I don't know what she will see...... Anyway, let's get out of here first.

As for her invitation to stay for dinner, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to refuse.
