Chapter Twenty-Six: The Wind in the Night
"There are rats in the palace? It seems that it is necessary to let the palace people pay attention to it, so as not to let the palace concubines be infected with the plague. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although Ling Haotian said that, he was still calmly sitting at the table and eating delicious lotus cake with An Yunxi.
An Yunxi knew the reason why he said this in her heart, and she didn't say anything, just eating the white fungus lotus seed soup that Xin'er had just given her.
After eating breakfast, Ling Haotian wiped his mouth and got up: "It's time for me to go to the morning court." ”
"Congratulations to the emperor." An Yunxi sent Ling Hao away, turned to Yuzhu and ordered, "Go and see if there was any blood left outside the courtyard last night." ”
"Yes." Yuzhu nodded and retreated, she was actually aware of last night's movement, but she didn't act rashly when those people didn't come in for a long time, although there was a sound of fighting later, but it didn't disturb Niangniang's rest, so she didn't pay too much attention to it, but what she didn't expect was that Niangniang, who originally thought she was sleeping, actually knew what was going on outside.
"Miss, are you going to say hello to the Queen Mother and the Queen in a while?" Xin'er opened her mouth and asked An Yunxi, she heard what those palace maids said last night that every concubine who entered the palace had to go to the queen and the queen mother every morning to say goodbye.
"Well, it's still early, we'll go later." Saying that, An Yunxi asked the other palace people to retreat, leaving Xin'er to accompany him and wait for Yuzhu's reply.
After a while, Yuzhu hurried back.
"Niangniang didn't have any bloodstains, but there were indeed traces of a fight, and it seems that the palace was not peaceful last night, and it seems that there is more than one person who wants your life." Yuzhu glanced at Xin'er who was standing beside An Yunxi, hesitated for a moment but said what was in his heart: "It seems that we will have to be more careful in the future." ”
An Yunxi nodded, since she chose to enter the palace, she had all these things in mind, but she didn't expect so many people to want her life. Glancing at Xin'er who was frightened, An Yunxi laughed and said, "Xin'er is scared? Regret entering the palace with your young lady? ”
"No, Xin'er isn't afraid, Xin'er promised the master to always stay by Miss's side to protect Miss." Xin'er put away the fear in her heart and immediately swore an oath.
An Yunxi raised her eyebrows, it was enough to have two trustworthy people around her now.
"Yuzhu, let's go and say hello to the Queen Mother." As for the queen, she was originally here to go against her, there was no need for her to lower her identity, since Ling Haotian had already given the queen a big excuse to trouble her yesterday, then now she will continue to push along the water, so that this scene should be staged soon.
Yuzhu knew what An Yunxi was thinking, nodded and asked the palace people to arrange the sedan chair.
All the way to the sedan chair, the swaying An Yunxi was drowsy, until he arrived at the health palace, he was a little better, and got off the sedan chair outside the palace gate, An Yunxi took Yuzhu's outstretched hand and walked down the sedan chair, and met the concubine who came to ask the Queen Mother for peace.
The reason why it was concluded that they were just ordinary concubines An Yunxi was from their dress, if they were queens, they would definitely wear phoenix robes.
"Yo, isn't this the new concubine who has entered the palace?" A concubine screamed angrily.
An Yunxi originally didn't plan to have any conflicts with them, but she felt uncomfortable listening to her yin and yang weird tone, so she stopped and turned to look at the concubine just now: "Since you know that it is the main palace, why don't you salute?" ”
"Then do you want to bow to this palace too?" Suddenly, an arrogant voice sounded behind An Yunxi, An Yunxi was annoyed, and now she has encountered it.
"I've seen the Queen Mother." An Yunxi bent her knees slightly, got up, and turned to look at the concubine just now: "The palace has the rules of the palace, and the elders and young have been respected and inferior since ancient times, or have you not learned the palace rules of this sister?" ”
"You are the concubine who wore a phoenix robe into the palace yesterday, do you know that you committed a great crime of disrespect yesterday, the phoenix robe has been worn only by the queen since ancient times, and the palace is still alive in the world, you dare to enter the palace in a phoenix robe!" The group stood outside the palace gate of the health hall and asked about the crime, to be honest, An Yunxi didn't expect that this queen actually had a little thought, but this disrespectful person was not her.
"The queen mother said that she laughed, I was just dressed on the emperor's orders yesterday, if the queen mother has to punish the crime, not the emperor's crime?" An Yunxi looked directly into the queen's eyes, with a sharp look in her eyes, in order to take revenge on me An Yunxi would not mind being that despicable person: "So the queen, don't press me with words that you are not sure of, I, An Yunxi, will never eat this!" ”
"Shameless!" The queen raised her hand and slapped An Yunxi in the face.
An Yunxi grabbed the queen's hand, squinted her eyes and said dangerously: "My face, whether you want it is up to me or not, I persuade the queen not to slap my face." After speaking, he shook off the queen's hand: "Since I, An Yunxi, promised the emperor to be this imperial concubine, then I will be this imperial concubine well, but it doesn't mean that the queen can make irresponsible remarks about me, I am not a person who follows the three obedience and four virtues." ”
The queen didn't expect the daughter of a mere businessman to dare to speak to herself like this, her arm was numb from being pinched by An Yunxi just now, and she didn't react for a long time.
"As for you..." An Yunxi hooked his lips and smiled: "You'd better keep your duty, last night a lot of rats were noisy outside my dormitory, if last night's incident happened outside the palace wall of the palace, it would not be as simple as dealing with those rats, I would hang all those troublesome rats on the city gate and let the people of Li find a way to get rid of the rats." ”
When An Yunxi said this, most of the concubines held their breath, and the queen's eyes widened, no wonder the person she sent out didn't come back last night, it turned out that she was dealt with by this woman, but... The queen's eyes changed when she saw An Yunxi, this woman is not so easy to deal with.
An Yunxi glanced at the concubine's expression, she also had a number in her heart about whose mouse it was last night, and invited Yuzhu to help her go to the body hall.
"The Queen Mother, Wanfu Jin'an." An Yunxi bent her knees slightly, and respectfully greeted the Queen Mother who was sitting on the upper seat. Looking up at the head, there was a little more praise in my heart, sure enough, it was the Queen Mother, with an extraordinary bearing, but the sadness of the eyebrows could not cover the traces of the years, although it had been well maintained, she could still see her age at once.
"You are the new Yunxi girl who has entered the palace? Sure enough, it's a beauty, no wonder the emperor wants to abolish so many rules for you to welcome into the palace, get up. The Queen Mother said that she asked the housekeeper next to her to give tea.
"Empress Dowager Xie appreciates." An Yunxi knew that Ling Haotian's approach yesterday was to make her the target of the palace, but at present, she has not fully mastered everything in the palace, so she can't completely go against the people of the Helan family, although the queen mother is also a member of the Helan family, but in the end she is also the queen mother.
"Aunt Queen Mother. You have to call the shots for Xin'er, this woman just ran into me outside the palace! He Lanxin smiled coldly and looked at An Yunxi, I can't clean you up, so the Queen Mother can't clean you up?
"Queen, you have to look like a queen." The Queen Mother glanced at the queen disapprovingly: "Don't you understand the rules in the palace?" ”
