Chapter 16 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada

Yanbo Lake - As the name suggests, the lake is often shrouded in mist like mist waves. There are two small islands in the lake, one is the moon and the other is the hidden star. Unlike other lakes in the palace, such as Biying Lake and Taiye Lake, the water quality of Yanbo Lake is extremely cold and crystal clear.

Every summer is hot, the cold lake water is steamed by the sun, and the mist covers the lake, people are like a fairyland in the fog on the lake, and the concubines often boat on the lake to enjoy the cool play.

At this time, the sun is getting stronger, the light white mist of Yanbo Lake rises like a cloud and mist quilt, a small boat in the lake goes with the waves, and there are two women and a person in the Baiyi Temple who is rocking the oars on the boat.

The woman's long hair was untied, and the black crow's face was smooth and white without flaws. The two short eyebrows are slightly raised like a crescent moon, and the eyes are not big like a crescent moon, as if they are smiling at any time.

The red lips are small and round, like cherries. The graceful figure sat on the cabin bench and swayed slightly with the rippling body of the boat, and the woman in red next to her carefully protected her.

The woman's crescent moon smiled at the shadows of the islands in the lake, and her voice was as sweet as honey, but she spoke to the swaying Baiyi Temple people: "Little Lanzi, this early in the morning, the palace received your news and came to the lake, but what good news do you want to report to me?" ”

The temple man named Xiao Lanzi shook his pulp and grinned: "Of course the slave has good news, otherwise how dare he alarm Niangniang." The one in Zhiting Palace has already moved, and now that the palace door is closed, he wants to be looking through the clues of rummaging through the cabinets. ”

"Oh? Bai Yuyi was vigilant, and he must have noticed that the body of the talented person was inappropriate, and he was a little similar to the queen's mother, and he began to be suspicious? The woman bent down and played with the clear water of the lake, creating a ripple.

Xiao Lanzi slowed down the oar, and slowly shook the pulp and said, "Niangniang clearly sees that Fang Wanyi has long suspected that the queen's mother is not a disease but a yin hand, she has been dormant in the palace to protect the queen for a long time, and in the past year, because the queen's body is not appropriate, the secret investigation has been fruitless, so she has to wait for the opportunity every day."

Now that Niangniang has made a move, she has been tricked, and there is no reason not to investigate her temperament. Niangniang can rest assured that the head of the family has already made a leak, and she can't find any clues about the things arranged in the hands of the people in Zhiting Palace, and then put some false news to move the spearhead to Song Zhaoyi and others, and she is not afraid of not driving out a few dogs that jump over the wall. ”

The woman smiled at her own reflection in the lake, "Let her be suspicious, the more she speculates, the better it will be for us." My father is rich and rivals the country, and he has countless capable people, and he can't do this little thing, so what's the use of raising them.

Now it's just a little trick to get some secret medicine to poison the young people and the queen's symptoms, which not only prevents the young people from being favored, but also stirs up Bai Yuyi's internal and external uneasiness like a great enemy.

The official family and the queen have a deep relationship, and this palace has been like a pool of stagnant water for several years. Now, with the help of these new women, it is good to let go of their hands and feet. Although I don't know who is attacking the queen, there are only a few people in this palace, and everyone knows it.

But they are all watching the fire from the other side, and when they knock down a few, it will be cheap, I will get the concubine in my hands, just sit back and watch them take down the queen, this harem of Chu Nanguo, I am not afraid that it is not for us to take advantage of the fishermen. ”

"Niang Niang Lan is smart and smart, and with the strong assistance of the head of the family, the master of the harem is naturally at his fingertips." Xiao Lanzi piled up a flattering smile and tried his best to flatter.

"Luoxia, I told you to find out why the official family didn't summon someone to sleep last night? Have you gotten the news? The woman suddenly remembered this and asked the woman in red in the boat.

"Niangniang, the slave inquired clearly, last night the official family and the military department Lord Song and Taifu Chen and General Dingguo discussed in the south study about sending troops to recruit the Baishan Yi people, and they didn't go back to the Qingxin Hall until the second half of the night to go to bed. The Dormitory Bureau didn't even have a chance to hand over the jade wat to it. ”

Luo Xia is the red-clothed Shanggong deacon in her palace, her chubby face and facial features are plain, and her body is a little fat, but her eyes are smart and keen, and she can reply clearly when she sees the woman asking.

The woman's face showed a hint of disappointment: "Oops...... It turned out that even Yuwat was never handed over, and I still wanted to see which beauty was the first to be called to grace. Who knew that it was really boring to talk about those barbarians again. ”

Xiao Lanzi's face showed a cautious look: "Niangniang, recently, the head of the family has talked about the Baishan Yi people, our family originally had business dealings with their barbarian king, and the Baishan people and my Chu Nanguo still avoided each other a little.

Since the old barbarian king passed away two months ago, the new successor barbarian king is young and strong, extremely brave and murderous, and has repeatedly violated the border of southern Chu to burn, kill and plunder, and the head of the family has withdrawn all the business there.

As expected, the official family has not paid much attention to the harem recently, and is bent on solving the difficulties on the border. This will borrow the military power of Song Shangshu and General Dingguo, and I am afraid that I will send troops to conquer Baishan Yiren in the future. ”

"Things in the court are really bad. Hmph~~ If you want to send troops, Song Shangshu and General Wu will be of great use, but I am afraid that Song Zhaoyi and Wu Guiyi will tremble for a while.

Wu Guiyi is up, Song Mingzhu, a fox who loves to show off the most, and the palace really doesn't look down on her crazy appearance. Forget it, let her run rampant for a few days, the villain has a will. The woman frowned, her face a little displeased and boring.

"Niangniang, there have been a lot of times when Xiao Lanzi has come out, even if she is just a temple person, it is difficult to ensure that she will not be noticed. Let's go back to the palace. Luoxia looked at the sun that was already high in the sky in the haze and reminded the woman.

"Okay, okay, it's not easy to see Xiaolanzi in the palace, stay outside and be afraid that others will pay attention. It's all Daddy who wants to send me into Raush's womb, so it's better to keep it at home. The woman pursed her scarlet lips and ordered

"Little Lanzi, you dock the boat. Remember to tell the eyes and ears in Zhiting's palace that the medicine should not be taken for the time being. If she is in a hurry, she will really come up with a good thing, but she will be startled, and the medicine for these two days will be enough for her to endure for a while. ”

"The mother commanded, and the slave understood." Xiao Lanzi agreed to shake the afterburner, and layers of waves rippled on the water.

The boat was firmly moored at the lakeside pier, Luoxia got off the boat first and then carefully helped the woman to the shore, Xiao Lanzi said goodbye, and the boat disappeared in the mist in the middle of the lake without a trace.

The woman straightened her long mist-soaked hair and grumbled. took Luoxia's hand and walked towards the concubine's palace, just as a large group of people came to meet the red and willow green.
