Chapter 56: The Mysterious Man
In the middle of a large mountain in Gyeonggi, a small thatched house is built against the mountain. The thatched houses are neat, but they don't look like they are inhabited. A figure flashed into the thatched shed, and after this figure entered, he carefully closed the door of the thatched house, and then opened it to reveal a large hole, and drilled into it, which was a very long corridor. Walking through this road, it is a natural cave. This cave is magnificently arranged, just like a palace, with beds, cabinets, and huge mirrors. This one is very expensive outside, and a mirror costs five or six thousand taels of silver. This mirror is made of purple gold and wrapped in a pattern, which is very gorgeous. The most rare thing about the whole cave is that it is dry and comfortable.
At the end of the cave is a large pink bed. Layers of pink tents were blocked, and those pink tents were made of pink fine light yarn, and a graceful shadow stayed in the tent inside. Although it is only a shadow, it can also make people have endless reverie. This shadow faced the figure of this beautiful woman, but did not show any different color, and knelt down on one knee and said, "Tell the Holy Maiden, Concubine Wande asked me to bring you the latest news." ”
After saying that, he took out a letter from his bosom.
The graceful figure stretched out his hand to open the tent, revealing a face that had fallen over the city, but a pair of eyes were like cold stars, shining with a cold light.
She took the letter and looked at it, and sneered: "What a waste, this idea can't be done, a beauty, and a prince, can't fight a Chen family who doesn't have a prince." Hmph, if I hadn't been in a hurry and couldn't find a suitable candidate, I would have really wanted to abolish her. Well, I also have to think of an extra treasure, just in case. ”
She pondered for a moment and said, "I'll write a letter, and you can bring it to Wan'er." ”
She got out of bed, walked gracefully to the table, and quickly revised a book. It was handed over to the shadow, who quickly left the cave with the letter.
When the beauty saw the shadow withdraw, she thought for a moment and sat down on the pink bed again. Begin to move up with five hearts and practice exercises. I saw that her skin became more and more crystal clear as the practice deepened, as if it was made of jade.
Concubine Wande in the capital has always been in a very irritable mood, she is losing her temper in her palace and breaking a few vases. The palace maid hurriedly came in to clean up.
The big palace maid thrush was careful not to make a sound. After a while, an old palace maid came in and whispered something to the thrush, and the thrush moved her eyebrows and hurriedly walked out. When he came to the ear room, the old palace maid gave the thrush a letter for his personal collection. Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, the thrush hurriedly put it away, and said to the old palace maid: "You have done a good job, and you have to guard there tightly." Remember? ”
The old palace maid hurriedly agreed. The thrush casually took out a red gold plum blossom ingot from his sleeve and gave it to the old palace maid. The old palace maid smiled and left.
As soon as the old palace maid left, the thrush hurried to the house, and saw that the debris on the ground had been cleaned up, and Concubine Wande was there, looking like her anger had not yet disappeared.
Thrush hurriedly asked the little palace maid and the little eunuch to retreat, waiting for no one in the room. He stepped forward and handed the letter in his arms to Concubine Wande.
Concubine Wan De was like grasping a life-saving straw, immediately grabbed the letter and quickly read it. After reading the letter, a smile immediately appeared on Concubine Wande's beautiful face, like a peony in full bloom.
Thrush has had this experience countless times. had already lit a candle and waited on the side, and Concubine Wande immediately put the letter in her hand on the candle and destroyed it.
After everything was cleaned up, Concubine Wande said to the thrush: "You go and call the people from the imperial dining room to come over, I have something I want to eat." ”
The thrush hurriedly responded. After a while, someone from the imperial dining room came over. Concubine Wande gave instructions and taught the people in the imperial dining room a new way to eat food, and the people in the imperial dining room listened to it and wrote it down, and then went back and did it. After it was done, it was sent to Concubine Wande to taste, but Concubine Wande was not very satisfied, so she asked the people in the imperial dining room to pay attention to a few points and redo it. After tossing and turning like this two or three times, it was finally done.
Concubine Wande was very satisfied, and said to the thrush: "You go and tell the chief manager and father-in-law beside the emperor that this concubine has made a new type of food, please taste it." ”
The thrush hurriedly agreed, found a food box with colorful flowers, and sent it to the emperor's palace in person. When the emperor heard that it was the food sent by Concubine Wande, he ordered someone to bring it up, and the chief steward's father-in-law said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured to eat, it has been tested." ”
The food in the palace, especially the food of the emperor, must be tasted by the eunuchs who try the food first, and there is no problem before daring to give it to the emperor.
After hearing this, the emperor nodded, and after a while, the food box with colorful flowers was placed in front of the emperor, and the emperor let people open the box and was stunned.
After a while, tears faintly flashed in the emperor's dragon eyes. If Chen Wenhui was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this novel food is actually very simple and is a small cake, which is in the shape of plum blossoms and five petals.
The emperor took out a cake with trembling hands and gently put it in his mouth, the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room was very good, the entrance was soft and very delicious.
After eating this cake, the emperor closed his eyes and rested for a while, and suddenly said: "I won't approve today's recital, I want to go to Concubine De of Jiuhua Palace." ”
The chief eunuch was very strange, and he was relieved when he thought about it. This Concubine Wande often makes the emperor unhappy, or the three princes sometimes make the emperor unhappy, or the young concubines in the palace are favored by the emperor, anyway, every time at this time, Concubine Wande will offer a novelty, sometimes it is a thing, sometimes it is food, and it can make the emperor change his mind and try it all at once.
Concubine Wan De is very confident, because such things have happened many times. She had a bad temper before, also because she was too depressed during this period of time. Originally, the crown prince and the queen were deposed, and she was the happiest, because it was the prince who stood in the way of her son's third prince. The queen who fought with her the most fiercely in the harem is also the queen, and now that they have all fallen, isn't she the only one in the harem? Isn't her son able to be a prince?
When she was ecstatic into the dream of being an empress and her son being a prince, she found that the emperor came to her palace less often, the fourth prince was ordered to enter Beijing, and now the ministers in the court, as well as the nobles, all think that the fourth prince is the most suitable to be the prince, and then at the banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor sits with the empress every year to accept the congratulations of the hundred officials and wives, and this time he actually sits with Chen Guifei.
Now in the harem, Chen Guifei covers the sky with one hand, and the emperor goes to her Zhongcui Palace to talk to her if he is fine. Moreover, the emperor has been going to the palace of Qian Concubine more and more recently, and he has given more and more rewards to Qian Concubine. A few days ago, in the Imperial Garden, I met Concubine Qian, and the seemingly weak Concubine Qian actually ridiculed her for being old.
There is also news that Chen Guifei has made an order to let her niece enter the palace, and the emperor also agreed, and also named the noble, those are the two young and beautiful sisters, and when they enter the palace, they will inevitably get less favor.
There is also news that because the harem is now being taken care of by the concubine, she is preparing to be selected for the emperor in the homes of the nobles and hundreds of officials. When the time comes, there will definitely be more beauties entering the palace, and in front of these young and beautiful girls of noble birth, she is from a humble background and is old, so she will not have an advantage.
Thinking of this, Concubine Wande's heart became more and more anxious, and finally the news that the emperor had stayed in the palace of Qian Concubine for several days in a row was crushed, and she couldn't help but send a secret letter through the secret channel.
The man didn't disappoint her, and after the news was sent, she sent a reply letter, just teaching her a new way to eat. Sure enough, after making it and giving it to the emperor, the emperor came to her palace.
Hearing that the palace maid said that the emperor was about to arrive, Concubine Wande looked around her palace, she had already smoked incense, she was dressed up, the tea was brewed, and she was ready to stop, that person was really a god.
When the thrush was done, he sat there alone and rested. In the bedroom, the emperor and Concubine De were talking.
The thrush came out to rest. She was actually very curious, who was the person who helped Concubine Wande? Since she served Concubine Wande, Niangniang has experienced countless difficulties. Sometimes it was the emperor who offended, sometimes it was the queen who made things difficult, sometimes it was the three princes who offended the emperor, sometimes it was the people of the Wan family who dragged down the mother, and once a few years ago, the strictest zhòng time, was assigned to the cold palace, and changed from a noble concubine to a little Zhaoyi.
Originally, those of them who followed Niangniang had already been, this time Wan Guifei was finished, but Niangniang was not discouraged, at that time, she said to them, don't worry, follow me well, I will definitely be favored. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Niangniang to send a woven thing to the emperor. After the emperor saw it, he immediately summoned Niangniang, and then, Wan Zhaoyi became Concubine Wande again. Moved back to Jiuhua Hall from Wenxiang Pavilion.
This mysterious person is Niangniang's biggest and most secret backer. I'm really curious, who the hell is it? In the past few years, Concubine Wande has become more and more fond of herself, but only this person's identity Concubine Wande has not sued her again.
In this palace, there is a small side hall close to the palace wall, which has long been deserted and inaccessible, and Concubine Wande specially placed an old palace maid to guard there all the year round. Every time, Niangniang will write a letter when she encounters a crisis and put it in the designated secret place of the side hall, and it didn't take long for the mysterious person to give a reply, and the old palace maid handed it over to Concubine Wande.
Concubine Wande ordered to give a reward to the old palace maid every time. The thrush has been done many times, and it is familiar with the road. However, it is never known who this mysterious person is?
ps:
It was supposed to be updated in the morning, but as a result, it was only possible to land in the evening, and it was really going to collapse.
