Section 42 Entering the Palace
Tong Xiaoban counted the days with his fingers, hum, it seems that the effect of the medicine is too good, Concubine Yun's illness is almost better, Xuanyuan Nanqi won't not come, right? I can't go into the palace myself, it's not good to be considered an assassin.
I was impatient to wait, so I just went to inquire secretly with Lingfeng, got a good night's sleep tonight, and discussed it with Lingfeng tomorrow.
Yahuan sent the bath water, Tong Xiao took off the clothes on his body, and drilled into the water to prepare for a petal bath. The warm water vapor rose into the air, Tong Xiao was a little drowsy, a slight sound of landing woke her up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xuanyuan Nanqi staring at her undeadly, looking at each other for a few seconds, Tong Xiao's head woke up from the dead, and her body quickly shrank into the water, only revealing her head, "Stinky and shameless, don't you know that you don't look at indecent things?" ”
Xuanyuan Nanqi retracted her gaze, and her Adam's apple unconsciously slid up and down a few times, "Who is rare with your shriveled figure?" Her eyes were full of disgust, and her mouth said things against her will, but she sighed in her heart: This woman's skin is like snow, and because of the heat, her face is pink, like a bright flower in the morning, waiting for you to pick.
Xuanyuan Nanqi still has no princess, not even a concubine, although he is the head of the four princes, but he is not close to women, his mother is very anxious, and quietly sent him a few concubines, and the next day, those concubines disappeared.
was so angry that Concubine Yun scolded him a few times.
There are rumors that there is a problem with the orientation of these six princes, but it didn't take long for the rumors to be self-defeating, why? Because someone saw him hugging left and right in Zuixiang Building.
Zuixianglou is a famous kiln in the capital, and the girls in it are all beautiful: it turns out that the six princes are no problem!
He attributed today's strangeness to the fact that it was too hot, who would take a fancy to such an ugly woman?
"I don't need you to be rare, say it quickly, what are you doing?" Tong Xiao's tone is not good, dare to say that I am not in good shape, what is wrong? Let there be a front in front and a back in the back.
"You're a noble person, aren't you?" Xuanyuan Nanqi knew that she must be pretending to be stupid, but looking at Tong Xiao's expression, he still reminded, "My mother's elixir." ”
"Oh, it seems like that. You go out first, I'm going to get dressed. "How could she not know the purpose of Xuanyuan Nanqi's coming, after waiting for so many days, isn't it the result she wants.
Xuanyuan Nanqi let out a disdainful snort and turned to go outside.
There was the sound of Tong Xiao getting dressed carefully, and after ten minutes, Tong Xiao finally came out.
Her hair was wrapped in a towel and was still dripping.
"Let's go." Xuanyuan Nanqi didn't even look at it, so he beckoned to go out.
Tong Xiao didn't hear it, and sat in front of the mirror and did his hair.
"Are you looking for death as a woman?" Seeing that she was sitting and doing her hair, she had no intention of following her at all, and it was really troublesome for a woman.
"Sixth prince, so unreasonable, although you are not in business, but you also know the truth of the world, right? There must be a fairness in everything, so that we can continue to cooperate next time, right? Tong Xiao's tone was calm, he didn't feel that Xuanyuan Nanqi was the prince, and he was a little shorter, but he didn't lose his due proportion, "This time, Concubine Yun was injured, and the people rescued her several times, if you stand in the perspective of the imperial doctor, then this is because of their duties; If I am a doctor, then it is the duty of a doctor, but what am I doing? ”
"First, I am not an imperial doctor, and I don't have a food king, and second, if I am a doctor, I can save this time without money, and I can save twice without money, so what about three times?" Tong Xiao didn't look up to see how ugly his face had become, and finished his words by himself.
"You're not afraid," Xuanyuan Nanqi pressed the fire.
"Don't use the previous reasons to threaten me, if that's the case, I don't think the Six Princes are a person who can protect me, if there is no evidence, don't use it here a second time. If you want me to go, it's okay to exchange the conditions. "Tong novel has his own purpose, if you want to enter the palace, you have to have a reason, right?
"You dare to negotiate conditions?" I really underestimated this woman.
"Could it be that the six princes have been paying their debts since elementary school? Want to empty the gloves of the white wolf? Tong Xiao felt that she was pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, Xuanyuan Nanqi's cold face made Tong Xiao feel stunned, to be honest, her palms were sweaty.
"What conditions?" The rare Xuanyuan Nanqi didn't pinch her neck like before and asked if she wanted to die.
"The maiden is just an ordinary person, and she is very curious about the palace, can you let me enter the palace to visit? Don't worry, I'm not going to run around. "That's not too much, isn't it?
"You don't have any other purpose?" Just to be able to enter the palace and have a look?
"What purpose can it be? You know, even if we enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet, there are many times, and the venue is also stipulated, not to run around, if there is a chance to feast your eyes, how enviable? Tong Xiao's eyes widened and he made a yearning look.
"I didn't expect you to be a person who is interested in the people."
"What is the people's benefit? I don't know how to use words, what fame and fortune have I got, isn't it just a girl who wants to see the palace? Say it so strictly. ”
"Let's go."
"So you said yes?" Happy as a kid with candy.
"Long-winded."
Tie his hair with a simple belt, put on a veil, and followed him to the palace, fed the remaining half of the pill to Concubine Yun, and when he left, Tong said: Remember what you promised, don't keep your promise.
In the past few days, a noble man and a father-in-law came to the palace.
The father-in-law passed on a holy decree of the emperor, the content of which probably said that at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet before, thanks to the daughter of General Pang who saved Concubine Yun, Concubine Yun has now recovered, and invited Mrs. Liu and her daughter Tong Xiao to enter the palace.
"Master, can we walk around when we enter the palace? You want the palace to be so heavily guarded. Inside Tong Xiao's house, Lingfeng asked Tong Xiao.
"Of course not, you want to be able to walk around in it once you go in, do you think it's the General's Mansion? As long as we have this opportunity, we have to find a way to meet next time, understand? "You can't rush things and take your time.
"Oh."
"Be clever when you enter the palace, don't mess around, do you know? Obedient without my command. "There are too many traps in the palace.
"yes, I know."
On the second day, Tong Xiao dressed neatly and wore a customary plain dress, but he did not lose his identity, the dark lines on the dress were noble and elegant, and he came to Liu's house early to wait.
"Packed up so early?" Liu is very satisfied with his daughter's cleanliness and neatness, maybe the General's Mansion is different from other high-ranking families, other families like delicate young ladies, and he and his master like lively and disproportionate children. Her delicate appearance made her feel that a gust of wind could blow them away.
Because he had already entered the palace once, Liu didn't worry too much about Tong Xiao's discomfort, just explained a few words, and took Tong Xiao into the palace in a special carriage from the General's Mansion.
Liu prepared a jade Ruyi for Concubine Yun, because Concubine Yun's condition is good, and sending jade also means that everything is going well.
Under the leadership of the palace people, Tong Xiao followed Liu directly to Yunxia Palace, and when he entered it, Tong Xiao and Liu both respectfully gave palace salutes to the people seated. I only heard a clear female voice from the upper seat: "Hurry up, Chunfu quickly give the two of you a seat." ”
Thanks to him, Tong Xiao sat down next to Liu.
"This is Miss Tong, right? You see, if you can save me this time, Bengong's body can get better so quickly, and Bengong has nothing to thank you," he said, giving Chunfu a look, Chunfu hurriedly put his hand on a tray, walked in front of Tong Xiao, lowered his head, and waited for Tong Xiao to take it, "This is a small gift, and I hope Miss Tong will not dislike it." ”
Liu hurriedly pulled Tong Xiao to kneel, "Concubine Yun is strict, it is also the honor of the little girl to save the mother, how can I get the mother's concern." ”
"Madam is too polite, I don't know if Miss Tong likes it or not?" Concubine Yun said decently.
"Yes, this is my sister's intention, don't let it down." It was another person who spoke.
"Then thank you, mother." Liu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Does Miss Tong like it?" Concubine Yun asked.
"The folk girl likes it very much, thank you for the reward." There is a jade bracelet in the tray, although Tong Xiao has not had the opportunity to see it in modern times, but judging from this color alone, it must not be a vulgar thing.
Concubine Yun hurriedly spoke up to let the two of them get up, Tong Xiao helped Liu, and then sat on the seat, Tong Xiao generously raised his eyes and looked at the person sitting in the upper seat.
The two people on the seat, one of them has a purple gauze coat body, and under the slender jade neck, a piece of **** is like clotted white jade, half-covered and half-hidden, with a bundle of plain waists, and it is not even a hand, this lady's outfit is undoubtedly extremely noble, the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, and her red lips are slightly open, this is a woman who exudes charm from her bones, but the voice she said also makes people feel gentle like water, no wonder the emperor has been to her for decades. It is not difficult to imagine that this is Concubine Yun's own sister Xue Guifei.
Compared with Xue Guifei's dress, Concubine Yun is much inferior, judging from the clothes she wore at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that day, she may have always liked plain clothes. Concubine Yun and Xue Guifei's looks look very similar from the dazzling glance, but if you look closely, you will find that in addition to their soft and cold looks, their eyes are completely different. Xue Guifei's eyes were pretty, and Concubine Yun's eyes were cold, giving people a feeling of arrogance.
Concubine Yun's face was slightly pale because she was in good health, and she applied a trace of frost powder today to cover it up.
Tong Xiao took out a delicate purse, "Niangniang, because your illness is only slightly better, you still need to recuperate, and the folk girl also knows that there is a royal doctor to recuperate for the Niangniang, so she also prepared a lucky bag, which contains some pleasant spices for the folk girl, which is specially modulated, and has the effect of nourishing the body, and I hope that Concubine Yun Niangniang will not dislike it." ”
Although Concubine Yun usually doesn't like to socialize with other people too much, and she treats people relatively little, she has an attraction to Tong Xiaoshe who is unwilling to refuse. If it was another concubine, she would definitely dislike what Tong Xiao gave and couldn't get on the table, but since she knew that her life was saved by her, she had an inexplicable good impression and trust in her.
Chun Fu stepped forward to take the lucky bag and handed it to Concubine Yun, who put it on the end of her nose and sniffed it with her eyes closed, and the faint fragrance in the lucky bag made her feel at ease. Concubine Yun pulled out her first smile in this time, "Miss Tong has a heart, does Miss Tong know how to make incense?" ”
"No, I just like these things, as long as my mother doesn't dislike them." Tong Xiao's answer was not flattering, it was neat, there was no spice in the lucky bag, just the pill she put in, "Niangniang can also let the imperial doctor take a look at it before wearing it, and I also wore a similar bag for my mother." ”
The people in the palace are deceitful, and she doesn't want to be a stepping stone for others.
Except for Tong Xiao, since Concubine Yun immediately wore it on her waist, "How can this palace not believe Miss Tong, you can see that this palace is alive and well." ”
Xue Guifei's face was hesitant, and she still reminded her sister that it was better to let the imperial doctor see it before wearing it. If you block it in front of Mrs. Pang, wouldn't it be a shame to give the general a face?
