Chapter 8: Night Exploration of the Falling Cloud Palace

The Luoyun Hall is located in the diagonal back of the Qiyun Palace, facing the National Teacher's Mansion, with only a lake in the middle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Usually no one will come here, in Qiyun Palace and even the entire imperial court, this is a forbidden place!

Qiao Xiaoqiao tiptoed up the stairs, and she turned back three times in one step, for fear of being discovered by others.

She just sneaked out of the National Teacher's Mansion, Ruyi has hardly slept in the past few days because she has to take care of Qiao Xiaoqiao, she is so tired, now that Qiao Xiaoqiao has woken up, she has finally put her mind at ease, and she will lie on the table and sleep soundly.

This is Chinese New Year's Eve! The lights in the imperial court are full of joy, and the highlight of tonight is in the Wanshou Palace, so almost all the eunuchs and palace maids are busy over there, and this Qiyun Palace seems a little deserted.

The Zhu door of the Luoyun Hall was closed, and the paint on the door was already a little mottled, and the inside was black and rumbling.

Qiao Xiaoqiao gently pulled the knocker and dodged into the door! She backhanded the door shut, it looked old, but it didn't make a sound when it was opened and closed.

She leaned against the door and gasped, because her physical strength had not fully recovered, her body was still relatively weak, and more importantly, she was afraid that people would find out that she had come here secretly.

Jiang Li had already told her that the most indiscriminate thing in this Qiyun Palace was the Luoyun Palace, she was the former Queen of Yun, that is, the prince's mother lived in the dormitory, after the death of the Queen of Yun, the prince ordered the blockade of the Luoyun Palace, without his will, no one was allowed to trespass.

Qiao Xiaoqiao was notoriously curious and bold in that life! "Joe Bold" is her most proud nickname! What stimulates her to play in the playground, what horror she watches in the cinema.

When she first heard Jiang Li say that the Falling Cloud Hall was a forbidden land, she became interested in it! She has long had a plan to "explore the Falling Cloud Hall at night"! It's just that the time has not been ripe.

The timing is perfect tonight!

Through the hazy moonlight outside the window, Qiao Xiaoqiao found that the Luoyun Hall was actually quite large, and the front hall was empty, only a table of eight immortals was placed in front of the wall near the east. In the center of the table is a tablet, and on the table are neatly arranged incense burners, candles, and other offerings!

Presumably this is the tablet of the Cloud Queen.

Qiao Xiaoqiao lit the candles, and there was some light in the hall suddenly, no wonder he didn't make any sound when he walked up just now, it turned out that there was a thick layer of blankets on the ground.

Qiao Xiaoqiao also found one thing, a bronze sword lying on the table of the Eight Immortals!

She picked it up and looked at it, the touch of this sword was extremely cold, the hilt of the sword was inlaid with a lake-blue gem, and the sword body was glowing with a faint cyan light, it was also a bronze product, but it was different from Jiang Li's bronze mirror, Qiao Xiaoqiao saw his own shadow in this sword! It's just that in the dim candlelight, his shadow looks very distorted.

A thought suddenly flashed through my heart! It is said that Queen Yun was depressed all day long because Emperor Yan erected the bright moon, and finally committed suicide with hatred! This sword can't be the murder weapon that Queen Yun committed suicide again, right?

Qiao Xiaoqiao hurriedly threw down the bronze sword, "Bah, bah! Amitabha! Amitabha! ”。

Joe's bold name is not something that comes easily! After a few moments, she returned to her normal state, holding a candle and touring the inner chambers of the Falling Cloud Temple.

She guessed that the Luoyun Hall should have maintained the appearance of Queen Yun before her death, everything was clean and orderly, the sky blue carpet, the sky blue bed curtain, even the jewelry box on the dresser and the wine cups and tea sets on the small tea table were all sky blue, and the entire inner room made people feel very comfortable and relaxed.

No wonder it's called the "cloud" queen! I love the color of the sky so much!

The dragon rhino stopped in front of the Falling Cloud Palace, how could there be snow on this step that stretched upwards little by little? Someone cleaned it in the morning, and it didn't snow today! Looking up again, there seemed to be a faint candlelight in the window.

Someone trespassed into the Falling Cloud Palace!

The eyes of the dragon rhino suddenly flashed with cold stars! He clenched his fists and lifted his feet up the steps gently.

"Isn't there anything special in this Falling Cloud Palace! It's also mysterious! Qiao Xiaoqiao held the candle and walked back to the hall from the inner room.

She had thought of putting the candle back in its place and preparing to leave, but when she saw the censer on the table, she remembered something else.

In that life, every Chinese New Year's Eve, parents would buy some incense candles, paper money, etc., and burn them to their deceased grandparents, which is said to be to send money to relatives in another world! The purpose is for them to continue to live well in that world.

Since he trespassed into the dormitory of the deceased Empress Yun, and today coincided with the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it was reasonable to burn a few incense sticks to this empress who had never met before leaving.

She held the lit incense candle in both hands and bowed to the tablet of the Cloud Queen, and then inserted the incense candle into the incense burner.

Suddenly, the green smoke of the incense candle shook left and right! Qiao Xiaoqiao suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

She turned her head suddenly, the faint light of the candle could not reach a large area, and she seemed to see that the closed door of the temple seemed to move! If you look closely, it doesn't seem to be moving.

Qiao Xiaoqiao chuckled in her heart! I clearly felt the air move just now, what's going on?

At this time, there was a sound of talking from afar outside the door, it should be the end of the state banquet of Wanshou Palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs were walking back one after another.

She extinguished the candle and sat down against the offering table, she would definitely be caught if she went out at this time!

Qiao Xiaoqiao sat on the ground and muttered to herself at Queen Yun's tablet, "Yun Niangniang! Oh no! It's more cordial to call you Aunt Yun! Don't be surprised that you broke into your dormitory tonight and disturbed your peace! I'm really bored staying here, there are many places in this imperial court that I can't go, and there are so many rules! Unlike us, you can go anywhere, there are so many things to do, a lot of good food, and so many interesting people! We never kneel when we meet! Greetings can be done by shaking hands, hugging, and in some cases, even kissing!

It's not fun at all here, it's boring for everyone, especially your son, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! People are so handsome, but they have a cold face every day! Extremely boring、、、、、"

Qiao Xiaoqiao sat on the ground and talked endlessly, it had been so long since she crossed over, except for Jiang Li, she couldn't say this to anyone else, but it suffocated her!

said that he was tired, and it was estimated that the people outside were all gone, so Qiao Xiaoqiao stood up and stretched, "Aunt Yun!" Thank you for listening to me nag a lot! It doesn't matter if you don't understand, because I'm not from this era at all! Well! It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back to bed! However, it's quite comfortable for you to stay in this Falling Cloud Palace, but it's a little colder! ”

Watching Qiao Xiaoqiao probe his brain sneakily pushed the door out, Long Xi walked out of the shadows.

He was still reminiscing about what Qiao Xiaoqiao had just said, although most of them didn't quite understand, but there were two sentences he understood! One sentence is: "Say that she is not from this era!" The other is "Say he's boring!" ”

Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year! Long Xi instructed Xuan Tie to go to the Imperial History Mansion and asked the Imperial Historian Xu Guoqing to compile the cases of the disappearance of women reported in China in the past month into a book and hand it over!

Although Xuantie was a little puzzled, he was not embarrassed to ask.

As soon as Qiao Xiaoqiao woke up early in the morning, he found a small red cloth bag at the door of the room! It felt heavy when I picked it up, and when I opened it, I saw that it was a silver ingot!

"It must be a red envelope from Jiang Li!" Qiao Xiaoqiao's eyes were red with emotion, in that life, her parents would prepare a big red envelope for her every Chinese New Year! Here, except for Jiang Li, I'm afraid that everyone else doesn't even know what a red envelope is!

There is a rule in the palace! On the first day of the Lunar New Year, no matter the master in the palace, he carried some scattered silver taels with him, and when he met the palace maids and eunuchs to pay New Year's greetings, he rewarded them with some, and both sides wanted to be auspicious.

Ruyi got up early, she dressed herself up, and took a red skirt for Qiao Xiaoqiao.

The two of them dressed up and went out.

The first one I met was Mu Qingyun, although Mu Qingyun was not a master in the palace, but at least he had the title of general.

The two of them knelt down together with a grin, "Lord Mu! Happy Chinese New Year! ”

Mu Qingyun was helpless, so he had to take out a few hangs of money from his cuffs and throw them to them, "Happy New Year!" ”

The second one I met was the prince dragon rhino, who was walking in the small garden at the time.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! Happy Chinese New Year! ”

"Hmmm! Happy Chinese New Year! ”

The prince was in a good mood today, and with a smile on his face, he gave each of them a small ingot of silver.

Qiao Xiaoqiao happily patted the money bag, "Haha! What a great opportunity to make money today! Wishful! Hurry up, we'd better go around this palace today! ”

Ruyi originally wanted to stop Qiao Xiaoqiao from going to the vestibule, but thinking about today's New Year, no one will be looking for trouble for the New Year!

It's been so long since I've been in the palace, and it's the first time Qiao Xiaoqiao has come to the vestibule.

"Wow! It's so big here! That's a lot of people! It's so lively! ”

"Shhhh Be quiet! Don't make a fuss! ”

There are colorful palace maids and neatly dressed eunuchs everywhere, everyone is in a group of three or two, and it is very lively to talk and laugh.

"Hey! Wishful! What's going on with that grand hall over there? Does the emperor live in it? ”

"That's Wanshou Palace! It is a place where large-scale events are held in the palace! ”

"What about the one behind the Wanshou Palace?"

"That is the emperor's bedroom, Tianyi Palace!"

"Ruyi! Can we go around the Tianyi Palace? I want to see where the ancient emperors lived. ”

"Ancient emperors? What do you mean? Ruyi was a little confused.

"Oh! It's nothing! It's just curious about what the emperor's bedroom is like! ”

"Hmmm! You can see it, but you can't get too close, you know? ”

"Got it!"

Qiao Xiaoqiao followed behind Ruyi, like Grandma Liu entering the garden for the first time, stretched her neck and poked her head, looking around, and kept letting out admiring "tsk!" Sound.

The two of them walked around the Tianyi Hall for a few times, and when they were about to turn back, they suddenly saw more than a dozen people coming out of the Tianyi Palace.

Walking in front was a white and pure eunuch with a half-hunched waist, followed by a man and a woman, the man in his early forties! Tall and handsome, the woman who followed beside him was the Queen of the Bright Moon! Behind are some eunuchs and palace maids who follow us.

Ruyi hurriedly shouted: "Little Joe! Get on your knees! The emperor and queen are here! ”

"Your Majesty? That one? The one in the middle? "Qiao Xiaoqiao has seen different people playing different emperors on TV before, and I really never dreamed that one day I would really see the real emperor with my own eyes!

"Little Joe! Get on your knees! ”

Ruyi was so frightened that her voice changed.

"Oooh! Good! ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao quickly knelt down.

As soon as Qiao Xiaoqiao knelt down, the group had already come to the front of him.

Queen Mingyue saw the two people kneeling underground, and she was extremely unhappy, Ruyi was her former servant maid, and the other, looking at the dress, you don't have to guess who it is! "This demon girl is really fateful!"

Because the emperor was in front of him, he didn't have a good seizure.

Qiao Xiaoqiao raised his face and stared at Emperor Yan up and down, "It turns out that the real emperor looks like this!" It's much more majestic than on TV! ”

Yan Huang looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao, who was kneeling on the ground, and dared to raise his head and stare at him in a daze, feeling a little strange in his heart, this little girl is bold enough!

"Bold! So rude in front of the emperor! Are you tired of being alive? ”

The white and pure eunuch whispered to Qiao Xiaoqiao.

Empress Mingyue felt that the time was right now, so she also echoed sharply: "Where did the wild girl come from? Dare to blatantly desecrate the emperor's face! ”

Emperor Yan raised his hand to stop, "Today is an auspicious day!" It's inconvenient to move! However, this little girl is also a little interesting???" You! What is your name? On duty in that place? ”

Before Qiao Xiaoqiao could answer, the white and pure eunuch stepped forward and whispered a few words in Emperor Yan's ear.

"Oh! It turned out to be her! Hehe! Deshun! Give them some silver taels and send them away! Don't disturb the widow's interest! ”

The eunuch named Deshun took out a few taels of silver from his cuff and stuffed them to Ruyi and Qiao Xiaoqiao, and then made a look.

"Don't go yet! Are you still waiting to eat the board? ”

Empress Mingyue looked coquettish, "Your Majesty! This girl has no rules and no distance, so let her go, if the harem maids follow suit, won't this harem be chaotic! ”

Emperor Yan waved his hand, "Don't be angry, accompany the widow to the front!" ”

Deshun glared at Qiao Xiaoqiao again, "What are you still doing on your knees?" Don't go yet! ”。
