Chapter 15 Shocking Steps

After the Jianji Palace, behind it is the place where the emperor feasts his ministers, and then there is the imperial ancestral hall and a place called Yigong Xingyuan, which functions like a small conference room, and is summoned by Ma Jiyue to the cabinet ministers.

I nodded while looking at it with my hands behind my back, and made a few comments from time to time, like a real tourist, Su Jing followed behind with a smile. At this time, the whole palace got the news, knowing that their people had been "taken over", and the performance of all kinds of people was not the same, although the palace maids and eunuchs were panicked, but the overall situation was quite calm, anyway, the emperor was not much different to them, there were many people who had not seen Ma Jiyue, and when they saw the three of us, some saluted and some hurriedly stood still, and most of the guards were ashamed and indignant, and they quickly walked away when they saw us from a distance-they saw the idle people and so on. This is probably the most distinctive palace guard since ancient times, and it is strangely interesting.

Walking further, the fork on the right is the Imperial Garden, I waved my hand and said, "The Imperial Garden will not be visited today, Lao Jin, you should take us to the place where we stay first." Saying that, I turned to the left and walked in according to a courtyard gate, and Grandpa Jin hurriedly blocked in front of me and said, "This...... It is not very convenient for the two sword gods to visit. ”

"Why?"

"Back to the Sword God, this is where the Empress Dowager and the concubines live."

"Harem?"

"Exactly."

I was also a little embarrassed and said, "If you don't say it earlier, then I won't go in." ”

Su Jing asked, "Who is the Empress Dowager?" ”

Jin Gong said fairly: "Oh, the imperial concubine is Gaozu's concubine Niangniang, and the first emperor has been canonized as the imperial concubine when he was in power. ”

Su Jing said: "So the imperial concubine shouldn't be Ma Jiyue's grandmother?" ”

"You're right, the biological mother of the first emperor was Gaozu's concubine Niangniang, and she was later canonized as the queen mother of Xiaoxian, and the first emperor died when he was there."

Su Jing asked again: "Why does this old lady live with a group of concubines?" ”

Jin Gong said fairly: "If you go back to Su Jianshen, Long Live Lord is still young, and he has not yet got married, and he has not officially canonized the East and West Palaces......"

I suddenly said: "I understand, all of them live here are Ma Jiyue's lovers, not even a little wife." ”

"Well, it's okay for you to say that, it's just too disrespectful......"

I laughed and said, "Grandma and a group of Ji live together, this yard is lively enoughβ€”okay, I said not to disturb them, you can take me to where Ma Jiyue usually lives." ”

Father-in-law Jin hesitated and said, "Please come with me, two of you." He led us around the two courtyards to a dark house, and said respectfully, "This is the dormitory of the Lord of Long Live." ”

I walked in to take a look, and saw that the room was not particularly spacious, and the furnishings were very exquisite, and there was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table near the window, but it seemed that the owner had not touched them since then, and there was a dragon couch to the north, and the bedding was dark black, embroidered with a golden dragon, and the mosquito net was pulled up, and everything was in a regular and angular manner, I sat on the bed and moved my buttocks, frowning: "Usually Ma Jiyue sleeps here?" ”

Gong Jin said fairly: "Although this is a sleeping palace, Long Live Lord rarely spends the night here. ”

"So where did he go?"

"This ......"

"I understand, he must be sleeping in the nest of the little vixens in the harem, this bed is not much better than the dragon chair, but anyone who sleeps under any activity must break his waist." Seeing that Father-in-law Jin was confused, I smiled and said, "You don't understand normal, but your master is not stupid." ”

"Yes, yes, Shi Jianshen is really like a god."

"Find a place to rebuild, like a place to sleep, and the most important thing is that the bed should be soft."

Su Jing said: "It's better to be a little cleaner." ”

Gonggong Jin thought for a while and said, "There is a clean place, but ......"

Su Jing said: "Take us there." ”

This time the old eunuch took us left and right to go around the long distance, this is a quiet courtyard, sparsely planted with some flowers and plants on the wall, quite a little sparse, but it fully meets Su Jing's requirements, this courtyard has two main rooms, one east and one wing.

When I walked into one of the main rooms, I was quite surprised, the utensils in this room were much inferior to those in other places, and even the teapots and cups were made of coarse porcelain fired in the folk kiln, which looked a little shabby. Gonggong Jin carefully explained: "This place is called Xiuxin Garden, but if any of the harem concubines have made serious mistakes, they will be sent here for self-reflection." ”

I wondered: "Is it the legendary cold palace?" ”

"Yes."

I said to Su Jing: "Then let's ......."

Su Jing said: "That's it, I still like this place." ”

I pulled Su Jing aside and said, "Let's work hard for half a day, and finally live in someone's harem, isn't it good to spread it?" ”

Su Jing said casually: "It doesn't matter where you live, what matters is who lives." ”

"Yes, you're awesome."

Father-in-law Jin hurriedly said: "I'm asking someone to change everything here!" ”

Su Jing said: "That's not necessary, just clean up." ”

I added, "Bring me a few more quilts, and be sure to spread them." ”

"Let's do it!"

After a while, Gong Jin led more than 20 palace maids to come in and stood in a long row in front of me and Su Jing, and Gong Jin said fairly: "These are all called in the palace for a period of time, and the two sword gods will stay if they are pleasing to the eye." ”

I squinted my eyes and looked at the other side, and asked Father-in-law Jin habitually: "How much is the tip, is it introduced?" "Don't say it, although the palace clothes are of one color, but the girls have their own looks, all of them are more than one meter six or five in size, graceful and beautiful, I have the heart to let them report the names of places one by one, Su Jing has already pointed to the first two: "These two stay, and the rest go." ”

These two little palace maids are between sixteen or seventeen years old, the one in front of the head is bolder, and when he looks up, the one in the back looks at his upper from beginning to end, and he doesn't dare to come out. Su Jing said with a pleasant face: "I'm going to trouble you during this time, I like to be quiet, you can move freely when you are not called, don't be too restrained." ”

The two little girls seemed to be secretly relieved, and said together: "Yes." ”

I grinned and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The one in front of the head said, "Slave Pian." The one behind whispered, "Slave Ruoxi." ”

"Huh?" I was taken aback and said casually, "Do you know Wu Qilong?" ”

The two palace maids looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and I asked again: "All the past, count the romantic characters, what is the next sentence?" Su Jing wondered, "Are you sick?" ”

I whispered, "I'm afraid they've crossed over......"

After a whole day of tossing, it was almost dusk at this time, and Su Jing was a little tired and said, "You are also tired, rest early." ”

I was full of anticipation and said, "Then are we ......?"

"You sleep in that room, I'll sleep in this room, good night."

I grabbed her and said, "Be vigilant at night, this is not a daughter country!" ”

Su Jing smiled and said, "You can sleep well, even if there is a situation, you will not be needed." As he spoke, he instructed Li'er to clean up the bed. I looked back at Ruoxi and said, "Then let's go too." ”

Ruoxi helped me lay out the futon, made tea in the teapot again, poured a cup and came to me with both hands, and said timidly: "Sword God please." "Although I did all this like a frightened rabbit, my posture was generous and elegant, and there was nothing wrong with it. I secretly sighed: People are like a professional maid, compared with the little black face of the green calyx, heaven and earth!

Ruoxi saw me staring at her, her pretty face turned crimson, and she subconsciously took a step back, and I complained, "Am I so terrible? ”

Ruoxi knelt on the ground with a puff and said, "The slave deserves to die." ”

I deliberately straightened my face and said: "You are kneeling to show weakness to the enemy, are you not afraid that your emperor will come back to punish you?" ”

Ruoxi said: "Gonggong Jin said that the two sword gods should be treated with courtesy and make the guests angry, and the slave is the crime of dereliction of duty, so he naturally deserves to die." ”

"Hey, your brain is quite fast, what else did Grandpa Jin say?"

"Father-in-law Jin said that this extraordinary period is the time to test us as slaves, if we do it decently, we will soar in the future, if you are not careful, it is expected that the whole head will move, and the so-called step by step is nothing more than that."

I shook my head and said, "I said I wouldn't hurt you." ”

Ruoxi said: "The sword god will naturally not break his word, the slave guessed that Gonggong Jin was worried about the emperor, long live was forced out of the palace, and his face was swept away, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not spill his anger on others after returning to the palace." ”

"Well, you father-in-law Jin is very thoughtful, so what do you think?"

Ruoxi said gloomily: "We are all emperors, he knows that he is powerless to resist the two sword gods, and he runs away, even if he runs away, we should be like this, he will return to the palace one day, and he should not blame us for his feelings." ”

I was surprised: "You are actually quite bold!" ”

Ruoxi smiled sadly and said: "I can only say these words to you, now the whole country is in danger, what is my cheap life?" Besides, it is also an honor to be able to die in the hands of the Sword God, I heard Gonggong Jin say that those guards can't let you kill them, and you still disdain to kill them. ”

I sighed and said, "What am I like in your eyes?" You hate me, don't you? ”

Ruoxi suddenly raised her head and said, "Don't hate, really." ”

"Why?"

"Compared with hatred, we want to see what the person who forced the current emperor to have no way out is like, Gonggong Jin said that he would find someone to wait for the two sword gods, and the sisters rushed to come."

I laughed and said, "Oh, you're a sycophant, it's amazing!" Okay, go to sleep, there's only one thing you have to remember. ”

"Command."

"Don't call me if it's okay, let me sleep until I wake up naturally."

Ruoxi smiled: "The slave obeys." ”

…… Then my wish came true, and the next day I woke up and was already on the third pole, Ruoxi, who had just gotten out of bed, brought washing water, and I asked while wiping my face: "What is Su Jianshen doing?" ”

"Su Jianshen has just risen."

"Huh?" I was surprised and funny, I lived with Su Jing for a while, and I never saw her get up later than 7 o'clock, I went out to see, Su Jing really just walked out slowly, outside Jin Gonggong had been sunburned and the oil came out, I met Su Jing, she blushed a little, as soon as this matter spread out, the two sword gods loved to sleep lazy, and it was too detrimental to the majesty...... I touched my stomach and said to Jin Gonggong: "Is there anything to eat?" Let's feast. ”

Father-in-law Jin smiled and said, "I don't know if you want to eat the meal in the morning or at noon?" ”

"What's at noon?"

"You wait." Father-in-law Jin waved his hand, the eunuchs began to line up with food boxes and put them on the table, I saw that it was really hearty, there were 8 cold spells in front of my head, hot dishes were meat and vegetarian, and there was a candied bird's nest soup in the green jade basin, I moved my index finger, picked up the chopsticks and said: "Ma Jiyue usually eats this?" ”

"Back to the myth of Shijian, I specially asked someone to add two dishes."

"Not bad, yes, worthy of the chef's head." I was just about to move my chopsticks, but I turned my head and whispered to Su Jing, "They won't poison the dish, right?" ”

Su Jing said: "Forgive them for not having the guts, but be careful in everything." As he spoke, he took out a silver needle from his sleeve and tried them one by one, saying, "Don't worry." ”

I grabbed her and said, "Wait! ”

"Why, you can't even trust me?"

"I don't believe it, but do you think they're going to spit in it?"

Su Jing glared at me and said, "You're so boring!" ”

"Then you eat."

"Uh......"

Seeing us muttering, Gonggong Jin stepped forward and said, "What else do the two sword gods have to order?" ”

Su Jing put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm not hungry yet." ”

I said to Gong Jin: "Take all the dishes away, whoever makes it will eat it." Then I said to Su Jing, "This trick is called knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger-in other words, then we can't stop eating or drinking, right?" ”

Su Jing smiled: "I really miss yesterday's wontons." ”

"Shall we go out to eat?"

Su Jing's eyes lit up: "Good idea." ”

I said to Gonggong Jin: "Su Jianshen and I want to go out of the palace for a walk, so you don't have to accompany you." ”

"Yes, I wonder if you're going to ride a horse or a sedan chair?"

Su Jing said: "I said that we don't need to accompany us, we have our own way." ”

"Yes, yes."

Su Jing and I walked out side by side, and I turned around and said, "We're still back, remember to keep the place for us." ”

There was an obvious mixed feeling on Grandpa Jin's face...... The two of us walked along the same road until we walked to the front of the Jianji Palace, and then there was the gate of the imperial city, and the guards all looked up at the sky and pretended not to see it when they saw the two of us, and I just left the gate of the palace and asked Su Jing: "Do you have any money with you this time?" ”

"Nope."

"That's still a fart street!"

Su Jing was embarrassed: "We don't have any friends here, and we have nowhere to borrow." ”

I laughed and said, "Whoever said no, look at me." I turned and walked back, and the captain of the guard, who had been on patrol, saw me and hurriedly twisted his head elsewhere, so I tugged at him: "Hey." ”

The captain frowned angrily and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"Do you have any money?"

"Nope!"

"If you have, borrow me something, and I'll pay you back when I come back."

The captain said angrily: "It's okay for you to occupy my imperial city, but don't deceive people too much!" ”

I pouted and said: "Look at you stingy, besides, the imperial city is occupied by borrowing some money, what are you afraid of, if you don't give it to me, you will force me to bully the people of your country, and when it is over, I will say that I am a palace guard, let them come to you!" ”

The captain looked like he was about to cry, and said indignantly while taking out the money from his arms: "How can there be a sword god like you......"

I snatched them all: "It's not that I won't give it to you, why are you such a chicken thief?" ”

Captain: "......"

I picked up the silver in my hand and rushed to Su Jing: "We are now friends all over the world - let's go, concubine, and accompany me to eat wontons." ”
