Chapter 85: "Insect Sect Leader" Gu

readx;?“ How to embroider the leather belt on the front of the dress is 'Dongfang Shuo stealing peach'! Concubine Min's jade finger was a little fragrant silk fabric, and there was anger in her tone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The nurse trembled in shock, and hurriedly explained: "This is the princess herself to the Imperial Embroidery Bureau, saying that this is the fashion of this year. Also said...... And also said, this is your order. ”

I didn't expect Ying Xue to dare to lie about her words! Concubine Min's cardamom-colored nails slashed across Dongfang Shuo's face on the silk, making a slight "gauze" sound, the corners of her mouth were tense, and she was so angry that she couldn't say a word.

Legend has it that on the birthday of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a blackbird fell from the sky in front of the palace, and Emperor Wu did not know its name. Dongfang Shuo replied: "This is the mount of the Queen Mother of the West 'Qingluan', and the Queen Mother is about to come to celebrate the emperor's birthday." ”

Sure enough, the Queen Mother of the West came with a fairy peach and presented it to Emperor Wu. After eating, the emperor wants to stay in the core for planting. The Queen Mother of the West said: "This peach has been fruitful for 3,000 years, and the Central Plains is thin, and it is not planted." ”

He pointed to Dongfang Shuo and said, "He has stolen my immortal peaches three times. Therefore, there is a saying that Dongfang Shuo steals peaches, this allusion often refers to the blessing and longevity, which is indeed a good intention, but it always looks nondescript in front of an eight-year-old girl's skirt.

"Go, bring the princess over!" Concubine Min said to Nanpu, the eunuch in charge of Jinxin Palace, who was standing beside her.

Soon Nanpu replied that the princess was not in the room and went to play in the Hundred Beasts Garden.

"Isn't it time for meals? How can you go out and run around! Concubine Min slapped the table angrily.

"The princess said that she couldn't eat vegetables made of vegetarian oil, and now she only eats snacks and fruits." Nanpu answered honestly on the sidelines.

"Did she say she wouldn't eat if she didn't eat? Are those palace maids dead people, watching the princess go out? Concubine Min took Luo Pa, who was embroidered with purple silver thread and a lotus pattern of soup goose, and stroked her chest, and her voice trembled with anger.

"The princess asked for a box of caterpillars from the Luowei Bureau, and stuffed them into the collar, sleeve, and belt of the palace maids while people were not paying attention, so that the palace maids screamed in fright, and the princess slipped out of the chaos."

"What?" As soon as Concubine Min heard about the caterpillar, she immediately got goosebumps. She hurriedly waved her hand to the left and right: "Quickly close the palace door of the main hall, don't let those insects crawl in!" ”

Then, Concubine Min held her forehead with her hand and smiled bitterly: "It's really not my own, so naughty!" When Xuanbo was a child, how could this happen! I really couldn't bring it, so the palace went back to the emperor and asked him to ask for another master. ”

Seeing that Concubine Shu was really angry, Nanpu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and rubbed Niangniang's legs: "Niangniang, eight or nine years old is entering the age of naughty, and the princess has been lively and active since she was a child. Didn't you like her at the beginning, so you asked the emperor for it? ”

Concubine Min heard him mention the past, and the corners of her lips lifted lightly: "If you know that Yingxue is like this now, it was the emperor who begged the palace in the first place, and the palace would not take this drudgery." Let her go with Concubine Chen, and knock on a wooden fish in the Chongluan Palace every day to recite the scriptures, and see if she still makes trouble! ”

Nanpu looked at Concubine Min's face carefully, and hurriedly said, "The princess has already gone out to play, don't worry about it, just have some food." ”

As soon as she heard the meal, a smile on Concubine Min's face immediately disappeared: "Every day is a vegetarian leaf, and now this palace smells this smell, and the stomach is sour, so hurry up and withdraw." Don't let Hongu see it! ”

When Nanpu heard this, his brows furrowed, and he opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

Concubine Min immediately noticed it and whispered, "If you have something to say, don't babble in front of this palace!" ”

Nanpu saw that there were no outsiders in the hall, so he approached Concubine Min and said: "Back to Niangniang, the old slave inquired that it was the night juggling team of the West Market that was invited to the hundred opera meetings in the courtyard during the beginning of winter. ”

Just this sentence made Concubine Min's eyes widen slightly. She was silent for a moment, and said with a sneer, "Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen, after so many years, I finally made this palace wait for this day." ”

"She didn't want to play something new, so Bengong helped her and made her unforgettable!" She turned her head to stare at Nanpu and said, "Since you mentioned this matter, you must have an idea, hurry up and say it!" ”

Nanpu smiled dumbly: "Niangniang, the old slave heard that there is a 'worm sect leader' in the night juggling team of the West Market who is the most popular. This man is good at raising insects. Even in the middle of winter, he can conjure butterflies, dragonflies and cicadas! ”

"What's the use of that? Isn't it possible for the Latitude Bureau to do the same? Concubine Min frowned slightly when she heard this.

"Niangniang, please listen to the old slave." Nanpu's tone was still unhurried, "The most popular of this 'insect sect leader' is 'praying mantis flowers'." ”

He can train the praying mantis to cut off the flowers with a large knife on his arm and deliver them to the viewer. The more beautiful the viewer's appearance, the more flowers the praying mantis sends, because everyone wants to see if they are beautiful, so this joke is the most popular program in the West Market. ”

"The old slave heard that this 'insect sect leader' was also going to enter the palace with the juggling team, so he looked for an opportunity to approach him. Back and forth, some words. This person said that his craft was passed down from his ancestors, and he had helped people eliminate disasters in the past, and was chased and killed by people in the rivers and lakes, so he fled into the streets. ”

The old slave asked him how he did to eliminate the calamities for others. He said that the praying mantis he trained could not only perform, but also kill! ”

When Concubine Min heard this, she leaned forward slightly, staring at Nanpu, expecting him to say the following words quickly.

Niangniang's thoughts, how could Nanpu not know? He hurriedly said: "He fed the praying mantis larvae with a unique medicinal wine, which can give birth to a poisonous insect like silk threads in their abdomen. ”

"When the praying mantis becomes an adult, every time you wave your arms, you will spit out one of these poisonous insects in your mouth. This insect is most afraid of seeing light and likes warmth the most, so it drills when it sees human skin, and when it drills in, the person concerned is not painful or itchy, and he is not aware of it. ”

"And what about after you get in?" Concubine Min imagined what Nanpu said, and only felt a chill down her spine.

"Once inside, the worm will wander around the host's body and finally settle in the brain...... Therefore, the people who are attacked by this insect will eventually become demented and stupid! ”

"What a poisonous bug!" Concubine Min gasped and her body shook slightly. But soon, there was a happy smile on her face: "It's just right to use it on Concubine Chen!" She has been favored for so many years, and she deserves this end! ”

Nanpu also said with a smile: "The 'Insect Sect Head' said that this method passed down by his family ancestors was still learned from the Miao people who knew how to play Gu in the south, and he couldn't try it out after a hundred attempts. The old slave lured him with a lot of money, and he has promised to serve you. ”

"When I went to the courtyard to perform, I used the fold of 'praying mantis offering flowers' to send poisonous insects to Concubine Chen's body without knowing it......"

"Wait!" Concubine Min suddenly raised her hand, and Nanpu immediately stopped talking and looked at her puzzled.

"It's not just Concubine Chen, but also the concubine! With the emperor's heart for her, coupled with her bloodline, it will be a disaster in the future no matter what! ”

Nanpu nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "Then the queen ......"

Concubine Min said with a cold look in her eyes: "This is not in a hurry, it's not time yet!" ”

"Yes." Nampo should be. "It's just that the 'insect sect leader' has a request, the mantis with poisonous insects can't see the light, and needs to be put in two cowhide bags and sent in. But the many checkpoints in the courtyard are meticulous and strict, and this kind of cowhide bag is afraid that it will not pass the inspection. ”

"So he asked us to help secretly and send the two bags in first, and he could naturally get them after he entered the courtyard."

A trace of puzzlement flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes: "Why do a few little praying mantis put them in such a big bag?" ”

However, she immediately said with relief: "That's it, as long as he can handle this matter for the palace, nothing else matters." Nanpu, you can do him a favor. Hongu is waiting to see a good show in a few days! ”
