In a remote courtyard in the northwest corner of the palace, two maidservants vigilantly guarded the door with a vermilion carved ** flower pattern. From time to time, I listened to www.biquge.info the sounds in the room.

While they listened to the movement in the room, Linglong also stood by the door with bated breath and listened to them.

"Why did she sleep so dead?" A servant muttered, her voice a little shrill and thin.

"It's good to sleep to death, if you wake up, you don't know how to make trouble, and the two of us will be annoyed by then." The other servant replied, "How good it is to be clear and quiet, so that we two can have to worry about it." Her voice was not as shrill as the servant, but hoarse as a bellows.

"How long does it take for your voice to be good?" The high-pitched servant asked with concern.

"It's so easy, I'm drinking boiling water, I'm much better today, I can speak, I couldn't speak yesterday."

Boiling water? Linglong couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her neck, just imagining that scene, Linglong was covered with sweat and hair standing up, the pain suffered by that servant can be imagined, no wonder her voice was hoarse like this.

The hoarse voice of the servant fell, and there was silence outside. After a few moments, the high-pitched servant spoke again.

"This time, the Nine Emperor Princes of Northern Qi came to make peace, which princess do you guess it will be?" There was a hint of schadenfreude in the voice of the servant with a shrill voice, "No matter which one it is, now it is the princess who is high above, and when we get there, we are not even as good." I heard that the customs of the Northern Qi Dynasty were very barbaric. If her husband dies, she must give her son another wife, and if her son dies, she must give her grandson another wife, and a woman must give many wives until she dies. ”

This custom of Northern Qi is exquisite, but I heard Master Hui'an talk about it. It is not only possible for a woman to marry her own sons and grandchildren, but also to marry her father-in-law, uncle, or uncle. In short, anyone who has a relationship with the man she was originally married to may become her second, third, or fourth...... Husband.

There, women, especially those in the Great Yan Kingdom who were taken captive by the Northern Qi people, could only be a tool for reproduction, and nothing else.

"Shut up, if you say these things to be heard, your palms and mouths will be light." The hoarse voice of the servant hurriedly persuaded.

"Out of the way." The high-pitched servant said indifferently: "Anyway, it's just the two of us here." After speaking, he said mysteriously: "I heard Sister Zhutao beside the queen say that this time it is not to let the real princess and relatives, but to select a few good-looking young ladies from the ministers' families to pretend to be princesses." ”

The hoarse voice of the servant heard her become more and more formless, and raised her voice slightly to stop: "Where did you believe the rumors, how can we be allowed to discuss such an important matter as a relative, don't say it, just tell me about the rewards you got from Concubine Rong last time, you got so many at once, and I envy me to death." ”

The servant with a shrill voice sneered: "You don't use words to divert me." You're just cowardly, and there's no third person here, just the two of us, what are you afraid of when you say something. What's more, what I said wasn't a rumor, Sister Zhutao told me personally. If you don't believe it, just wait and see, there will be no one less princesses in our palace. Moreover, when Mama Fang sent the girl in, I could see it clearly, she was combing her phoenix tail bun, if she didn't pretend to be a princess, she combed such a bun, it wouldn't be a big disrespect! She swore as if she were the one making the decisions.

The hoarse voice of the maid was probably moved by the shrill voice of the maid, and she was curious, so she couldn't help but ask: "Is it really Sister Zhutao?" ”

The shrill voice of the servant said proudly: "Of course, how can it be wrong. Last time I went to the queen's mother to deliver the peony that had just been opened, Sister Zhutao told me in person. She also said that this time the Nine Emperors of Northern Qi are blessed, and the emperor plans to send two people to him. ”

Linglong stood by the door and snorted coldly in her heart, anyway, she is not her own daughter, it is the same to send one to two, and it is not distressing to be abused and humiliated, and it is not bad if you don't send all five.

Pick two of the five people, and she and Shen Xinyi are very likely to be picked. Thinking of Shen Yunqi's words last night, Linglong's heart was warm and afraid.

What warms is Shen Yunqi's affection, what he is afraid of is that if he is really selected, then if Shen Yunqi really wants to assassinate the Nine Emperors of Northern Qi, he will not only take the risk of sacrificing his life, but the Nine Clans.

"Do you know who it's for?" The hoarse voice asked.

yes, do you know who it is? Linglong also wanted to know urgently at this time. But she didn't hope much for this high-pitched. From her words, Linglong knew that what she did on weekdays was just to send flowers to the flower room, and the news she knew was only a little bit of what she heard from the queen's maid.

Sure enough, the servant with a thin voice said: "Where can I know this, I'm afraid the prince won't know." When the words fell, she suddenly said mysteriously: "However, I know ......."

She knew what she didn't finish before she was interrupted by Mama Wang, who rushed in from outside.

"Let you look at the people in the house, it's good for you to be cheating and playing tricks, and you're here to talk to the sky." Mama Wang said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Hearing Mama Wang's voice, Linglong hurriedly took a breath, quickly returned to the couch without making a sound, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

"Mama is wronged, but we have been looking at it seriously, and the one inside hasn't woken up yet." The high-pitched servant said obediently.

Mama Wang took a sip of her and said with a smile: "Hurry up and open the door, let me see it before it counts." ”

"Hey! No problem with the management. The shrill voice of the servant said crisply.

Mama Wang entered the house, lifted the curtain and saw that Linglong was still asleep, Mama Wang smiled and said: "Even if you are still careful, it's just that, when this matter is over, I will find an opportunity to talk to the queen, and you will go back to the queen on an errand." ”

After Mama Wang's words, the two maids were grateful, and they were both mothers and godmothers complimenting Mama Wang, and Mama Wang listened to it with a smile.

Linglong was shocked, she didn't expect Mama Wang to speak so effectively in front of the queen. No wonder this high-pitched maid can be so familiar with the palace maid named Zhutao next to the queen's mother, it turns out that they are serving in the queen's palace. Linglong smiled and shook her head in her heart, just now she still thought they were from the flower room.

I'm afraid that the queen mother drove them out here to serve, and she planned it for today.

From this point of view, when Lingyu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince planned this matter, the queen mother must have been involved. The mother of a country, why is it necessary to plan the harmony of the Nine Emperors of Northern Qi? The emperor said that he let the daughter of the minister's family replace him, and he couldn't shake the princess in the palace at all, so why did the queen still care so much?

There are only two things that can make the queen fall in love. The same is the prince's status in the imperial court, and the other is her status in the **.

Today's events can make her so good-hearted, what is she for? Linglong closed her eyes and thought in her head.

"Mama, what are we guarding her for?" The shrill voice of the servant pointed at Linglong and asked curiously.

She really couldn't understand the use of guarding this girl who slept like a dead pig. Linglong also wanted to know what she was doing here under house arrest. With her eyes closed and looking forward to Mama Wang's answer, Linglong believed that Mama, who could speak in front of the queen, must know something.

"Yes, today, the princess of the Nine Emperor Princes of Northern Qi and the other sisters who served in the courtyard of the queen mother were all assigned to the front to serve in the Teasing Bee Pavilion." The hoarse voice of the servant said with a little envy.

Linglong was shocked, it turned out that the young ladies who were sent to pretend to be princesses and relatives were all teasing the Bee Pavilion. And not like yourself, who was stunned and placed under house arrest here.

Don't you let yourself pretend to be a princess? But if that's the case, why did Lingyu dress up like this and bring it to the palace. What's more, Mama Wang also went to the prince's mansion yesterday to teach herself the rules!

It must be Lingyu or the prince who has new plans.

"Phew! Dare to inquire about anything. Mama Wang pretended to be angry and said: "Let you do what you do honestly, don't ask anything else, it is only serious to be able to go back to the Niangniang Palace to serve." ”

The two servants hurriedly agreed, not daring to inquire again. Linglong was disappointed for a while, she didn't expect this grandmother's mouth to be so tight.

What to do, continue to wait here for news? But what if Shen Xinyi is chosen?

Funny Bee Pavilion, Funny Bee Pavilion......

When Linglong's thoughts were fluttering, Mama Wang had already left. The door to the room, which had been closed, was locked again. Before leaving, Mama Wang repeatedly instructed not to let the people locked up inside come out.

Mama Wang's deliberate instructions made Linglong realize that whether or not she appeared in the Honey Pavilion might be crucial to Lingyu's or the queen's plan.

Since it's so important, of course we can't sit still!

When Mama Wang left the courtyard, Linglong sat up and carefully looked at the room where she was staying. Looking up at the skylight on the roof, a satisfied smile spread across Linglong's face.

Under the gourd and vine trellis in the imperial garden, far away from everyone's battle, King Yan and Shen Yunqi were discussing countermeasures in a low voice, and Concubine Rong's personal maid suddenly hurried over and went straight to King Yan.

"Slaves and maids, see His Royal Highness King Yan." The maid gasped and curtsied, her eyes shining, her face covered with sweat, and the clothes behind her were attached to her back because of the sweat on her body.

"What's the matter?" King Yan looked at her sideways, frowning slightly.

The servant glanced at Shen Yunqi, Shen Yunqi leaned back with a grin, looking like I won't go, you like to talk or not, closed her eyes leisurely, Erlang's legs shook and shook.

King Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't get in the way, you can say it." ”

The maid glanced at Shen Yunqi again, frowned, because the matter was urgent, and she couldn't take care of it so much, and said eagerly: "Princess Huashang was taken away by the bamboo peach in front of the queen's mother, and the slave and maid couldn't find it." ”

Princess Huashang and King Yan are siblings of the same mother, and their biological mothers are Concubine Rong.

Shen Yunchi's shaking Erlang leg suddenly stopped, stiffly and slowly put it down, and opened his eyes to look at King Yan, who had a gloomy face.

The Nine Emperors of Northern Qi are close to each other, and now there are many people in the palace, and anything can happen. Because of the sensitive relationship between the prince and King Yan, the queen and Concubine Rong are also rivals in **. At this time, it is not a good thing for Zhutao to take away Princess Huashang.
