CHAPTER XXI

Shuangbai didn't seem to be threatened by the sword pointing at him, and only slowly sorted out the handful of flowers he had just collected in his arms: "It is a kind of wine, the base of the wine is the twenty-year-old daughter Hongcheng, and a lot of precious medicinal materials are used, it is indeed a wine for qi toning and conditioning, but some of these medicinal materials have the effect of sleeping and making people dream." ”

"Dreaming, it's that simple?" Yuan Chun looked at him and said coldly: "I don't think Si Shao's expression is right, I'm afraid it's not as simple as just dreaming?" ”

"Whether there are good dreams or nightmares, it all depends on the desires of the drinker himself." Shuangbai handed the flower in his hand to Hewei on the side, then wiped his hands, stood up, and looked at her condescendingly: "Ning Chun, the wine is not guilty, you don't have to be so nervous, you have time to shout and kill with the master of the hall here, why don't you think about how to serve your master well." ”

When Shuangbai got up, she didn't care at all about the sword pointing at the center of her eyebrows, but Ning Chun had to subconsciously withdraw the tip of the sword, she said sharply with a gloomy face: "I don't care what you know, and I don't care what your master knows, but if you dare to hurt my master again, I, Ning Chun, will not die, and I will definitely take your head!" ”

With that, she withdrew her sword and turned away without hesitation.

Shuangbai looked at her stubborn and murderous back, and shook his head: "Lu can't be taught." ”

Then he instructed the young crane guard who was holding the flower on the side: "Bai Nineteen, go and keep an eye on her." ”

Bai Nineteen's face changed instantly: "Hall Master, you see that I will help you arrange flowers, Seventeen is very idle." ”

He didn't want to stare at Ning Chun's hateful Lu Poniang.

The heroic Bai Seventeen, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes on one side, was precisely the 'developed' who was given the name by Autumn Leaf Bai, and immediately glared at Bai Nineteen fiercely when he heard this.

Shuangbai raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were slightly cold: "Bai Nineteen, are you planning to bargain with the hall master?" ”

Bai Nineteen thought of the methods of this torture hall master, and his face suddenly turned slightly pale, so he immediately nodded obediently: "Subordinates obey orders." ”

……

Three days later

Yongning Palace

"Feng slave see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Lafayette Wanfu Jin'an." The wind slave, who had changed back to the dress of an ordinary woman, respectfully kowtowed three times in front of the Queen Mother.

"Get up." The Queen Mother Lafayette herself got up and helped the wind slave up with a loving smile.

"It's been hard for you these days, and the mourning family has seen that your child has lost a lot."

As she spoke, she patted Feng Nu's hand, and smiled at Cui Mama on the side: "After a while, I will send the twenty bird's nests in the warehouse, and the mourning family remembers and He Shou Wu sent by Gaoli, all of them will be sent to Feng Nu's room to make up for this girl." ”

Mama Cui immediately smiled and nodded: "Yes." ”

The Queen Mother's words, the wind slave naturally knew what it meant, instantly blushed her little face, lowered her eyes, and said softly: "Thank you for the Queen Mother's favor of Lafayette, it is the duty of the wind slave to serve Lafayette, and I dare not ask for any reward." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and pulled her to her warm jade couch and sat down, first looked at her for a while, and then said with a smile: "I heard that the lamplighter said that it was a success that day, and the national teacher recruited you to serve in the apse for several days?" ”

When the wind slave heard this, his face became more and more crimson, and he was a little nervous: "It's ......." ”

The Queen Mother and Mama Cui glanced at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw each other's eyes, and the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, the mourning family has always been a person with clear rewards and punishments, or you can't keep this harem safe for many years. ”

The wind slave was flattered and got up and kowtowed again to thank him: "Thank you, Queen Mother Lafayette, the wind slave is panicked." ”

The Queen Mother looked at the wind slave who was still obedient and obedient, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in her shrewd eyes, and then ordered the palace maids below to show the wind slave a seat.

"Don't kneel around at every turn, your body matters, after all, you're still young." The Queen Mother said, then looked at Mama Cui: "Yes, Lao Luo is here." Give this girl a pulse diagnosis and see if the pulse is good, and if you can't say it, you can just say it. ”

Hearing the Queen Mother ask, Feng Nu's drooping eyes were shocked, and he quietly maintained a calm look, but he was a little panicked in his heart.

This Luo Yi is the holy hand of the daughter, and he is also very good at other medical skills, and he is a confidant of the Queen Mother, will he find anything.

When Mama Cui saw the Queen Mother asking, and saw that Feng Nu looked uneasy, she only said that she was shy and uneasy, so she smiled and shook her head: "Back to Lafayette, Doctor Luo said that it will take at least a month to find out when he is pregnant with a child. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she instantly snorted coldly: "This old Luo is really getting more and more presumptuous." ”

But instead of blaming, there was a bit of resentment in his expression, and Feng Nu and Cui Mama and the others involuntarily lowered their heads and sighed in their hearts.

Only Luo Yizheng has the courage to talk to Lafayette like this.

Seeing that the wind slave had escaped, she also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she hesitated for a moment, but still gritted her teeth and said softly: "The slave has something unknown, even if the slave is pregnant with the child of the national teacher, how can you be sure that this child must be the next living Buddha?" ”

Cui Mama didn't expect Feng Nu to suddenly ask like this, and couldn't help but gasp for her boldness, as a subordinate, only the master told to do things, how could there be any doubts?

This matter is not a close confidant of the Queen Mother Lafayette, how dare he speak.

She was about to look at the wind slave, but suddenly heard the voice of the Queen Mother Lafayette sound behind her: "Mama Cui, there are some things that the wind slave knows, after all, we will have to rely on the child in her belly in the future." ”

Mama Cui was startled, and then immediately looked at the Queen Mother, and saw that the Queen Mother was drinking tea slowly, looking at herself with a faint gaze, the master and servant for decades, she immediately knew what the Queen Mother meant in her heart, she hesitated for a moment, or said: "Feng slave, you are also our own person of the Du family, some things are chosen because your family is also a loyal servant of the Du family's family masters for generations, now that the Queen Mother Lafayette has a will, there are some things, you should know." ”

When the wind slave heard this, he couldn't help but get a little nervous.

"Yes."

Seeing that the wind slave was obedient, Cui Mama said eloquently: "Feng slave, you know, starting from Empress Minshun, every generation of the son of heaven comes from the belly of the daughter of the Du family, this kind of thing is not without the courtiers rebounding and jealous, but why every time, the prince belonging to our Du family can ascend the throne smoothly, and Shun lì has lasted for five generations of emperors?" ”

The wind slave thought about it, but still shook his head.

Cui Mama continued: "That's because every generation of the Du family's sons of heaven have been blessed by the 'gods and Buddhas'. ”

The last four words of the blessing of God and Buddha, she deliberately bit the sound very hard.

"Every time, when there is a voice against the enthronement of the prince belonging to the Du family, there will be all kinds of bad omen, and every time the prince belonging to the Du family has a stable position, and before the accession to the throne, there will be auspicious rui from the sky, without exception, so every national teacher of Shingon Palace will pray for the prince of the Du family, and create a 'auspicious rui' for the prince of the Du family, belonging to the opponents' Bad omen', and blessed the prince of the Du family on the enthronement ceremony, announcing that the world, the national teacher has a very high reputation among the people, and it is very important for the Du family and the Shingon Palace, do you understand. ”

On top of every 'auspicious' and 'bad omen', Mama Cui also bounced on the words very hard, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the wind slave.

Feng Nu is not stupid, she looked at Cui Mama in shock, she really wanted to see the Queen Mother, but she didn't have the courage, but then she nodded mechanically: "Feng Nu - understood." ”

Yes, how could she not understand, of course she understood that the meaning of the existence of this national teacher was the most direct 'tool' of the Du family to influence the Tianji Empire.

But......

Feng Nu is not stupid, she looked at Cui Mama in shock, she really wanted to see the Queen Mother, but she didn't have the courage, but then she nodded mechanically: "Feng Nu - understood." ”

Yes, how could she not understand, of course she understood that the meaning of the existence of this national teacher was the most direct 'tool' of the Du family to influence the Tianji Empire.

But......

"But every time, the selection of national teachers seems to be extremely cumbersome, if you only need one 'national teacher', why can't you just select one person?" The wind slave is a little unclear.

It's just a puppet, why bother so much, although when she was selected to become a divine servant, the national teacher had already completed the incense ceremony, became a reincarnated living Buddha, and was also the national teacher of the Tianji Empire, she was not a person from Shingon Palace, so even if she stayed in Shingon Palace for a few years, there were some things she didn't know, but she still heard that the incense ceremony was a process that lasted at least ten years.

This time, it was the Queen Mother Lafayette who spoke up, she laughed coldly, and her voice ridiculed: "That's because the national teacher can't just be a straw bag, a national teacher who doesn't know anything, even if someone helps him show 'auspiciousness' or 'bad omen', as long as he shows up in front of the courtiers, or has a little bit of a big scene asking for rain, blessings or sacrifices to exorcise ghosts, he will be exposed, not to mention that the candidate for the living Buddha is selected by the Shingon Palace, and the living Buddha of the Shingon Palace has been in existence for a much longer time than the time they have become the national teacher." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the Living Buddha of the Shingon Palace had real ability, our Du family would not have chosen them to become the national teacher of the empire." Cui Mama added.

"So this time...... How can you be sure that the child in the slave's womb must have a spirit child who inherits the qualifications of the living national teacher? Feng Nu said suspiciously.

The Queen Mother lowered her head and took a sip of tea, chuckled, her eyebrows were cold and gloomy: "Because, the mourning family feels that this process is too cumbersome, the emperor is getting weaker and weaker now, and the national teacher is still so young and so rebellious and pious, it really doesn't look like a living Buddha who is suitable to protect our Du family, don't you say?" ”
