Chapter 63: Pretending to be a ghost
Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiao actually listened to Lin Jue's words and made such a childish and stupid action, everyone present was holding back laughter, but at the moment when Empress Dowager Xiao made this action, a huge and dazzling light suddenly appeared around Lin Jue's body, like countless pearls gathered together, and everyone couldn't open their eyes.
In an instant, the shining abnormal giant light, scattered into a little light particles, like a bright starlight, shrouded in the top of the hall, just when everyone was shocked by this magnificent scene, from the bright yellow silk spread on the wooden ladder, actually flew out of a phoenix covered in golden light, first circled around the queen mother, seemed to bow to her, did not leave, and then accompanied by the white light, danced above the palace.
Before everyone had time to sigh, suddenly countless birds with different feathers poured in from outside the palace gate, gathered towards the phoenix, dancing in circles, and under the white light, the stars arched like the moon, like a blooming peony.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, until the hundred birds followed the phoenix, flew out of the palace, and disappeared into the sky of the imperial city, and everyone did not fully react.
"The people's daughter wishes the Queen Mother a long lifeβ"
Lin Jue came down from the wooden ladder, took out a bunch of prosperous peonies, and respectfully handed it to the Empress Dowager Xiao.
When she was performing the vertigo technique just now, she was sweating the whole time, but fortunately, this time there was no danger, so that she successfully drew a picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix.
"Good! Good! Empress Dowager Xiao also recovered from the shock, reached out and took the peony handed over by Lin Jue, with a smile on her face, "Sure enough, it's Lin Taibu's daughter, sure enough!" Blue out of blue is better than blue!! βββ
After a burst of joy, Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly frowned slightly, a trace of strangeness flashed in her eyes, as if she was in pain, she leaned away, and subconsciously propped her hands on her temples.
"Lin Xiu, what you performed just now, but it's a long-lost vertigo technique?"
Emperor Zhaoyang, who had been silent, couldn't help but open his mouth. He always thought that in this world, only Gu Yuan of Yuanping Palace was the real master, but he didn't expect that even Gu Yuan's unpredictable vertigo technique would be learned by a little girl.
"Back to Your Majesty, yes."
Lin Jue bowed his head respectfully and replied.
Because all her thoughts are on the performance, she has not seen what this legendary Emperor of the Great Cause looks like until now.
"Emperor, if I'm not mistaken, even Gu Yuan Palace Master doesn't know this dazzling technique, right?" , Empress Dowager Xiao had a smile on her face, but a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.
Being asked like this, Emperor Zhaoyang's face was a little different, and he turned to Lin Jue and asked, "Lin Xiu, who are you studying with this dazzling technique?" β
He didn't remember that Lin Taibu was able to use dizziness.
Hearing this, the corners of Lin Jue's mouth twitched, it seems that she has to move out the statement that she was instructed by a master in her dream again. Although it doesn't seem very credible, there's no better explanation, does it?
"You mean being instructed by a superior in a dream?"
Sure enough, after listening to Lin Jue's words, Emperor Zhaoyang put on a playful look.
"Back to Your Majesty, yes", Lin Jue lowered his head, "One day after this year's Lantern Festival, I had a dream, in which a master taught me many spells, but unfortunately, when I woke up, I only remembered this one...... The master also asked me to hand over the box to the Queen Mother. β
Lin Jue said, there was a small square brocade box in her hand, she still lowered her head, and respectfully presented the square brocade box to Emperor Zhaoyang with both hands.
The chief manager of Ouchi wanted to step forward to take the brocade box, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager Xiao waving her hand.
"What's in there?"
Inexplicably, there was an extra brocade box in her hand, which was originally surprising, and she had to dedicate this brocade box to her, even if it was Empress Dowager Xiao herself, she felt a little funny.
"The courtiers don't know, because it was given by a master, the courtiers didn't dare to open it without permission." , Lin Jue lowered his head the whole time, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "It's just that the master once explained, saying that the things in this brocade box can solve the worries of the Empress Dowager Xiao......"
Maybe others were immersed in her vertigo just now and didn't notice it, but Lin Jue really saw Empress Dowager Xiao's slightly frowning expression, and her life experience in her previous life told her that this was a manifestation of headache, because in the palace in her previous life, the young emperor was also plagued by this headache all year round. In order to cure this headache, she did not hesitate to go to the cliffside of Nanban to get the rare herbs, and then use the stamens of the white peony in spring and the white lotus in summer as a guide, and add the rain on the day of the rain, and refine it into pills by herself. It's a pity that the pill she worked hard to refine was thrown into the fish pond in the imperial garden by the emperor......
In this life, she actually saw this herb in Lin Taibu's study, so she tried a few in her spare time, and wanted to keep it for emergency use, but she didn't expect it to come in handy today.
"Oh? Take a look at ......."
Empress Dowager Xiao stretched out her hand to take the brocade box presented by Lin Jue.
"Queen Mother, why don't you let the concubines take a look first, if there is anything ......", Zhao Guifei on the side opened her mouth. She is the mother concubine of Princess Changyuan and the most favored concubine of Emperor Zhaoyang.
Suddenly, someone interjected, and Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at her casually, "What can there be?" What can a little girl do to me? β
"Queen Mother, the concubine doesn't mean this, this brocade box has not passed through the Internal Affairs Office, and the concubine is really ......", sitting on the cold bench in public, Zhao Guifei instantly showed a pitiful expression, but when she turned around and wanted to ask Emperor Zhaoyang for help, she found that the person who had always favored her did not say anything.
"That's it!" , Empress Dowager Xiao's head ached faintly, and her expression became a little impatient, "What's wrong with you two mothers and daughters today, one by one, you don't understand etiquette at all?!" β
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Guifei's face turned pale in an instant, and she was reprimanded by the Queen Mother in front of so many people, which ...... Sure enough, the ladies of the family who were already at odds with her mother's family looked at her with more irony in their eyes.
This old immortal! Zhao Guifei was angry, but she couldn't have a seizure, so she had to give Princess Changyuan a look and let her sit obediently and stop giving birth to any more branches.
Not to mention that Zhao Guifei's lungs were about to explode, but here Empress Dowager Xiao had already opened the lid of the square brocade box despite the obstruction. Suddenly, a faint aroma came to the surface, the aroma hit people, but it was not pungent, like the fresh smell of herbs in an April day.
Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help but smell it a few more times, and suddenly felt a refreshing taste straight into her heart, as sweet as a mountain spring, and she suddenly felt that her head was not so uncomfortable.
"This pill...... Didn't the master say what was the use? β
Looking at Lin Jue, who was still bowing her head, Empress Dowager Xiao asked with a pleasant face.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the master didn't say the use of this brocade box, but only said that it can resolve your worries." , Lin Jue replied slowly, and simply carried out "pretending to be a ghost" to the end.
Seeing this, Princess Changyuan next to her couldn't sit still again and wanted to speak, but she was forced to be pressed down by Zhao Guifei.
"Emperor, you say, what position is the most suitable for a talented woman like Lin Xiu in our Great Cause Country?"
Empress Dowager Xiao accepted the brocade box and turned her head to look at Emperor Zhaoyang.
