Chapter 4: The Feast
Xuanyuan Xue returned to the palace and only left the moon by her side to serve, she had been waiting for this day for a long time, and I rubbed the glass bracelet on my wrist, which was given to her by her mother before she died. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking at herself in the mirror, she recalled that on the day of Princess Ming Shangguo's marriage, the mother took out an old box from the house, saying that it was left by Xuanyuan Xue's grandmother to her mother when her mother entered the palace. Xuanyuan Xue still remembered that it was a delicate sandalwood box, and her mother opened it as she spoke, "Hiss." Xuanyuan Xue only saw the blood on her mother's fingers, and a stinging pain knocked the box to the ground, it was a Gu worm! Xuanyuan Xue was taken aback.
She was eleven years old at the time, and she didn't know anything about the open and secret battles in the palace, she only knew that her mother was caught in the Gu, and her face began to erode. That Gu worm was not for Xuanyuan Xue, but how could she watch her mother suffer? She held her breath and condensed, although her Taoism was still shallow, she also suppressed half of it.
"Someone!" Xuanyuan Xue was lucky, but she was indeed a little struggling, she turned her head and shouted out the door.
"Princess!" Hearing the urgent call, Tilting Moon and Ye hurriedly rushed in, seeing that Xuanyuan Xue was suppressing the luck of her mother, the two of them also hurriedly assisted.
"Mother!" Concubine Hui spurted out a mouthful of blood, and Xuanyuan Xue was also shocked and fell into the arms of the night. The strength of that Gu worm was too great, she was already exhausted, and she knew that her Dao was too shallow to suck it out...... I really can't suck it out.
But looking at her mother's painful expression, Xuanyuan Xue struggled to climb to her, "Mother, let Xue'er try again!" Saying that, Xuanyuan Xue clasped her palms together again, "Don't!" Seeing her daughter's pale little face, how could Concubine Hui endure it?
She looked at the biggest room was the thirteen-year-old night, and no one else in the palace came except for the moon and the night, she knew that she was plotted, she couldn't even burden Xue'er, that was her lifeline, this child...... She knows it in her heart, and she will do her best.
But she is only an eleven-year-old child, and her roots are not deep. If she insists on saving herself, she is afraid that she will lose her life. What if you survive? When she gave birth to Xue'er, the queen bought off Wen Po, so that she could no longer have children. If Cher is gone, how can she live alone?
"Xue'er, listen to what my mother said...... Concubine Hui struggled to take Xuanyuan Xue, "You are your mother's life, you are still young, your ability is still weak, you have to live for your mother, you want to avenge your mother!" ”
Avenge your mother! Thinking back to this, Xuanyuan Xue held the bracelet tightly.
Looking through the mirror, Xuanyuan Xue coldly swept behind him, a person who was holding tea leisurely.
The man only felt a cold light coming over, and the tea almost spilled out with a shake of his hand, "Good boy, the hot tea that just poured, you scare me like this, aren't you afraid that I will burn myself?" ”
"Hehe, can the big boss of Xuanwu Palace still hold this tea?" Tilting Moon laughed playfully, and still methodically helped Xuanyuan Xue comb her hair in her hand.
"I have the ability, but I can't resist the cold eyes of your master? stares at people at every turn, and sooner or later one day will be scared to death by her. Huh! Xuancobalt said and dodged sideways, trying his best to protect the tea cup in his hand, but he couldn't bear to spill a few drops, which happened to fall on the tip of his hand, "Hiss." ”
Xuancobalt turned his eyes to look at the silver needle on the tea table, and was just about to reproach when he heard Xuanyuan Xue say coldly: "Next time it will be your hand." ”
"All right, master." Tilting Moon put on the pear blossom tassel hairpin, leaned over and smiled in the mirror and said, "The master is so good-looking." ”
Xuanyuan Xue looked at the moon and dressed herself up fresh and elegant, and she also smiled with satisfaction. Sweeping his eyes, he saw Xuancobalt who was grimacing at himself in the mirror, his face was cold again, and he turned around with a silver needle in his fingertips, "The girl's boudoir, you can come as you say!" You will go to the royal brother at night, and you will be a blessing!" I'll see what you do when he comes back later! ”
Xuancobalt squirted out a mouthful of tea, and hurriedly begged, "Don't tell Uncle Ye, you still have to pick my skin?" I don't think anyone is more protective of you than him, and when others take a closer look at them on weekdays, they can't wait to gouge out their eyeballs and eat them. "But where does Xuanyuan Xue need someone else to protect her? With her skills and this powerful temperament, who can hurt her? But Xuancobalt dared to talk in his heart, and he reminded himself not to say it quickly, otherwise I am afraid that the corpse capital will not know where to find it.
Xuanyuan Xue laughed out loud when she was amused by Xuancobalt, "I have to tell him this too!" ”
"Huh!" Xuanyuan Xue fell into the tea, and was about to grab Xuanyuan Xue when he got started, only to see Xuanyuan Xue turn around lightly, Xuanyuan Xue had already arrived at the place where he was standing before Xuanyuan Xue was close, Xuanyuan Xue supported his waist and smiled helplessly, "I'm afraid that your flickering kung fu won't be able to catch up with you at night." ”
Xuanyuan Xue looked at Xuancobalt proudly, and his subordinates picked up the tea he had made just now and took a sip, "Well, this tea is really good." ”
"Humph!" Xuancobalt didn't pay attention to it, and looked back at the gold silk mask on the dresser, "Why are you planning to see people today?" ”
"Today's is a family banquet for the eldest sister to come back, she just became the queen mother, and she brought the newly enthroned Emperor Xiao, if I still pretend to be injured and disfigured, wouldn't I be sorry for this sister who came from afar?" Xuanyuan Xue smiled coldly and disdainfully, raising her head to brush the broken hair in her ears.
Xuancobalt reminded himself not to look any more, Xuanyuan Xue's face was poisonous. Not to mention the smile on her face, even when she has a cold face, she can hook three souls and six spirits. He Xuancobalt is pretentious and extraordinary, and he is the palace master of Xuanwu Palace, and the beauties around him are like clouds, why should he indulge in it for a person whose heart has long been occupied?
Xuancobalt turned around and looked at the night outside the window, "Emperor Ming is a capable guy, but I want to see it today." Xuancobalt changed the topic and continued: "The White Tiger guarding Bai Jing is his left minister, and the Qinglong guarding the Qingling who is okay with his temperament is his good brother, and we are guarding the Quartet, and he will accept the two of them alone, but it seems that you, the master of the Xuanning Palace, have no ability." ”
"When did the Xuanning Palace restrain you?" Xuanning Palace serves Nuwa, which is controlled by the Xuannu of the past dynasties and guards the four palaces of the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Qinglong and Xuanwu, and the pestle has been passed on to this generation, protected by Bai Jing, Zhu Xuan, Qingling and Xuancobalt Palace Lords, and now people, gods, and demons have been peaceful for three years, and Xuanning Palace has endured in the world for three years and has not shown up, in fact, except for Xuancobalt, the other three have never seen the spirit girl of the current Xuanning Palace.
And today's Xuannu is Xuanyuan Xue, when Qingyun Daoist found that Xuanyuan Xue's spiritual power was extraordinary, he handed her over to the previous generation of Xuannu, with her innate spiritual power, she has been taking care of things in the palace since she was fifteen years old, because Xuanning Palace is hidden in Xuanwu Palace, only to recognize Xuancobalt, in fact, Xuanyuan Xue feels that it is a good thing that the palace guards are not recruited.
Xuancobalt shrugged his shoulders, looked at the dark shadow outside the window, and hurriedly turned around in surprise, "Uncle Night is back!" I'll withdraw first. ”
……………………
Although it was a family banquet, after all, Emperor Xiao came together, Emperor Ming still invited several important ministers of the imperial court, the Queen Mother took a few princesses who had not left the palace in the harem, and the Imperial Concubine, Concubine Xian, Concubine Rong, Concubine Li, and Concubine Mei sat on the table together, and Emperor Xiao was attended by the Empress Dowager Xiao with two princesses.
After each took his place, Emperor Ming and Emperor Xiaorui stepped in together, everyone got up and saluted, and the second emperor saluted the queen mother and sat down.
"Why don't you see the third sister?" After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere was very lively. Empress Dowager Xiao raised her eyes and looked at the princesses sitting on the seat, raised her eyebrows lightly and didn't ask Xuanyuan Ming, who didn't know that he protected Xuanyuan Xue the most? only turned back and asked his mother, the queen mother of Ming Shangguo, Luan.
Empress Dowager Luan snorted lightly and raised her tone, "Our third princess has always traveled alone, if you want to see your third sister, it is not easy, there are too many people to protect." These words were clearly said to Xuanyuan Ming.
Xuanyuan Ming didn't have him on his face, he only lowered his head and chatted with Xiao Rui, but Xuanyuan Hao on one side was heartfelt, he was Xuanyuan Ming's third brother, and he had a very good relationship with his sister Xuanyuan Xue since he was a child.
"Did the queen mother invite her sister?" Xuanyuan Hao didn't raise his eyes, only looked at the little brother Xuanyuan Che on the side, "Look at you, where have you eaten?" "Xuanyuan Che is famous for his deliciousness, seeing the meal is like seeing his mother, he looks honest and stupid, but it's a pity that he can't get into the eyes of his mother, isn't it?
Look at the current queen mother, how shrewd she was when she was the queen, and how many princes and princesses she killed, this is coming without retribution? finally gave birth to a son, but he is still a foodie. Xuanyuan Hao was happy to death, looking at this stupid brother and smiling innocently, not to mention that he was so happy for the queen mother in his heart.
"Che'er!" Empress Dowager Luan snorted, Xuanyuan Che just bit half a piece of snack, choking in his throat, Xuanyuan Hao saw it and hurriedly turned sideways to pass the water, tried his best to endure a bad laugh, and cleared his throat, "Brother Che, let's eat slowly, no one will rob you!" Brother's is for you too! Come! ”
Xuanyuan saw the coconut cake handed over by Xuanyuan Hao, flowers bloomed on his fat face, and he couldn't say anything clearly when he was chewing something in his mouth, he could only hear it vaguely, "Thank you, brother." A few words.
Xuanyuan Hao glanced at the Empress Dowager Luan and the Empress Dowager Xiao.
Empress Dowager Xiao is her eldest sister, she only got married at the age of nineteen, and she married an uncle in her forties, only a few years later? is widowed and has nothing to do under him, and he is just a half-hung queen mother. If it weren't for the current Xiaohuang looking at his brother's face, maybe how miserable she would be. It's really happy to think about it, how much she was angry with her eldest brother and third sister back then, and now it's really relieving! It's so relieving!
"The third princess, this girl, I heard that the mourning family is still running around outside in the afternoon!" Empress Dowager Luan glanced at Xuanyuan Hao unhappily, turned her head and said to Shangguan Rong.
Shangguan Rong paused slightly, got up to reply, and heard a clear voice coming from the door, "What about me?" Everyone was taken aback, especially Shangguan Rong, his little heart trembled three times, as if he was dreaming, Xue'er ......?
I saw Xuanyuan Xue in a light blue cloud dress standing at the door, she raised her mouth and smiled and stepped forward, "I've seen my brother." As he spoke, he turned his head to Xiaohuang for another blessing, "I've seen Xiaohuang." ”
Empress Dowager Luan and Empress Dowager Xiao searched carefully, didn't she be disfigured with Concubine Hui? What about scars? What about the scars? Empress Dowager Luan only felt that her heart exploded with a bang, looking at Xuanyuan's snow-white and permeable skin, the long eyebrows of the distant mountains, and the thin willow waist, the smile was the same as the concubine Hui back then, it was a delicate and obscene color!! Empress Dowager Luan propped up the table with one hand, eager to go up and tear that face, look at the men present, saliva is about to flow!
Empress Dowager Xiao was also shocked, no matter how her mother and Concubine Hui fought back then, her ability was to be tired of dying of this third sister, a fox embryo! When she was a child, all the love of the emperor was taken away by her, and she and the queen mother worked together to make Concubine Hui commit suicide, and she was also disfigured. I don't know how to be relieved! But what's wrong? What's the matter, it's!
