"The Queen? Which queen mother? Xia Yanxiang subconsciously asked, in fact, knowing that it would not be the queen mother of Northern Qi or Southern Zhengguo, she still couldn't help but ask.

Yun Zheng chuckled, walked to the table behind Xia Dianxiang, took the prepared ointment, and said to Xia Dianxiang: "Girl, it's time to take medicine." ”

Xia Yanxiang took off the white towel on her face, closed her eyes silently, and asked softly, "Does this thing of yours really work?" ”

Yun Zheng smiled and picked up the small brush, brushed the ointment on Xia Dixiang's face over and over again, and said softly: "It doesn't work, you have to use it to know." ”

Xia Dixiang pouted helplessly, gritted her teeth and endured the unpleasant smell, and asked Yunzheng to treat her face.

Yun Zheng's pharmacology has something special, if it is used well, it can still dilute the scars on Xia Dixiang's face.

Completely removed, she doesn't have the ability to do it.

Of course, if the Gu King wakes up, it is still possible to try, but unfortunately the Gu King is still asleep, otherwise, this injury would not have to be so strenuous......

Yun Zheng shook his head while giving Xia Dianxiang medicine.

Xia Dianxiang was so smoked by the smell that she couldn't open her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

……

Two days later, it was Miss Zhao's ceremony.

Yingsleeves dressed up early in the morning, wearing an ordinary dark red Shu brocade long skirt, holding an ochre red shawl, with only a golden hairpin on his head, and came to Zhao's house in advance with a clever little maid.

Miss Zhao Er thanked Yingsleeve for helping her get Ruyi Jin, specially called her to her room, and introduced her to a few girls from official families in the capital.

These girls are of the same grade as the Zhao family. Therefore, I can play with Miss Zhao Er.

Yingsleeve also understands the truth of "things gather by like, people by groups", and talked to these girls next to her. He inquired about their preferences, and said a few words along with them, which pleased the girls, and although they did not treat her particularly affectionately, they did not treat her as an outsider.

The girls who arrived first were all close friends of Zhao Er's girl.

They sat around the table, eating snacks and gossiping over tea.

Everybody's happy. Suddenly, Zhao Er's maid reported at the door: "Second girl, Miss Xia is here." ”

"Miss Xia? Which summer girl? A chubby girl probed curiously, "Second sister." Do you have a new friend? ”

Second Miss Zhao was stunned for a moment, and quickly said with a smile: "It's the niece of the Lord of Jinyi Wei Xia." As he spoke, he got up and saw that Xia Yanxiang had already come to the door with a beautiful and elegant maid.

Sleeves sat among the girls. Pay attention to Xia Darkxiang. I haven't seen her for a while, Xia Dixiang has lost a lot of weight, her face is still covered with a white scarf, and she swings willows like the wind when she walks.

"Who is I? It turned out to be a Dongyuan Qi woman who ate the inside and outside and made people look at it all over the place! The chubby girl was suddenly furious, rolled her eyes, and said to Zhao Er's girl angrily: "If it's not a good day for the second sister, I'm going to leave soon." - Let this slut sit in the house and get dirty! ”

Ying Sleeve glanced at the fat girl, and secretly wondered if this girl had the Northern Qi Forbidden Army at home? Otherwise, how could it be so hot.

The girl next to her would understand. He lowered his voice to her and said, "Her eldest brother is a forbidden soldier and has died in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom......

And so it was.

Yingsleeve nodded. This fat girl is a member of the family of the 10,000 Northern Qi Forbidden Army who died, no wonder she looks at Xia Dianxiang unpleasantly.

But Xia Dianxiang is really thick-skinned enough.

Obviously, on this occasion, the vast majority of people who came were eunuchs from the Northern Qi Dynasty, and she dared to come to the door, not afraid that others would beat her out?

Xia Dianxiang was about to enter the door, and when she heard what the girl said, tears filled her eyes, and she called softly: "Sister Zhao......"

Zhao Er didn't expect Xia Dianxiang to really come, and she didn't see her outside.

But since she came, she couldn't drive her out, so she had to walk over and say, "Miss Xia is here, sit here." So saying, he led her to the place where the maids were sitting on the other side.

The ladies definitely don't want to sit with her.

Many people's sons died because of her, and not slapping her in the face was already giving face to Miss Zhao Er.

I didn't expect her to dare to come out and walk around as a guest......

The fat girl waved her arm at the dark fragrance and said angrily: "Xia dark fragrance! You weren't enough to fight at Guangyuan Temple last time, right? Do you dare to come out to meet people?! ”

There is a peony garden in the mountain behind Guangyuan Temple, there are many famous species in it from the Great Xia period, it is the flowering period recently, the girls of the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty have made an appointment with friends in twos and threes, escorted by their families, go to Guangyuan Temple to enjoy the flowers.

Xia Dianxiang also went, but met a group of girls, some of their brothers died in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and when they saw Xia Dianxiang, it was like seeing an enemy, so they directly slapped it with a big mouth, and pulled off Xia Dianxiang's masked scarf.

At that time, the scar on her face startled the big guy, but everyone came back to their senses and immediately scolded her: "You deserve it!" Let's see if you want to trick a man into giving you death! ”

At this time, I saw it again, it was really an enemy meeting, and my eyes were red.

If it weren't for the second girl Zhao leading Xia Yanxiang to the maid to sit, the fat girl would definitely punch again.

Seeing this, Ying Sleeves quietly moved the chair back and sat behind the fat girl, just blocking himself completely.

Xia Dianxiang lowered her head, ignoring the fat girl who scolded her, and when she looked at it again, there were all maids here, she pursed her lips tightly, and she couldn't wait to get up and leave several times, but she thought that she couldn't be locked up in the house for the rest of her life without seeing anyone, and the second girl Zhao might be the princess in the future, and she was good with her, she couldn't give her no face, so she still sat down aggrieved.

Ying Sleeve glanced at her, and asked the girl next to her while no one was paying attention: "This girl is the niece of the Lord of Jinyi Wei Xia?" It's a long time coming......"

"Isn't it? Who doesn't know her reputation...... Killed someone in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, I heard that she was stripped of her clothes, and she was looked at all over the place......" The girl next to her said perfunctorily, "Forget it, don't talk about her, bad luck." ”

Yingsleeve hurriedly changed the topic and whispered: "I don't know if Miss Zhao's shirt is ready." She must look good when she wears that Ruyi brocade. ”

"Ruyijin? Second Miss Zhao got the Ruyi Brocade?! That's great! The girl became excited and beckoned to Miss Zhao, "Miss Zhao." Bring Ruyi brocade to open our eyes! ”

"Yes, I heard that wearing this Ruyi brocade can make people happy, is it true?" Yingsleeve smiled and slowly set up a bridge next to him, gradually leading the topic to Queen Qi Xueyun.

"Of course it's true. Back then, Miss Liu was blessed with this wishful brocade, although her family was ruined, and she was the only one left. She has risen to prominence, not only as the princess of Northern Qi, but also as the queen of Dongyuan! - That's the real strange woman! It's not a shameless, front-facing and backward-facing broken shoes that can be compared! No matter what the chubby girl said, she didn't forget to stab Xia Dianxiang.

Xia Dianxiang pricked up her ears as soon as she heard Ruyi Jin and Empress Dongyuan. I listened very attentively, and when I saw the fat girl mocking her again, the tears in her eyes only swirled, but she only wiped them with a handkerchief. Didn't fall off.

Yun Zheng couldn't stand it anymore. couldn't help but say to the fat girl: "This girl, today is a good day for Second Miss Zhao, why are you scolding?" ”

"I scolded my shoes, what's the matter with you? Are you a broken shoe?! The fat girl rolled her eyes, a sneer at the corners of her mouth.

Xia Dianxiang hurriedly pulled the cloud kite, "Don't say it......"

"Miss Xia's maid is really extraordinary, more like Miss than Miss." Ying Sleeve sat behind the fat girl and said with a smile.

The girls couldn't help but glance at Yun Zheng. Seeing that she not only has a beautiful face, but also has a kind of momentum that is not angry and arrogant. It really doesn't look like a cowering maid.

Yun Zheng hurriedly shrunk his neck and hid behind Xia Dixiang.

"Let's see it if you want to, I just made a shirt, and I haven't put it on yet." Second Miss Zhao came out with the freshly made clothes, and everyone's eyes suddenly shifted.

"This is Ruyi Jin? It's really beautiful. A girl looked over and wanted to touch it with her hand, but her hand was halfway up and it retracted.

I heard that this Ruyi brocade is difficult to buy, in case she finds out a good one, but how to compensate others?

Ying Sleeve watched everyone carefully pass on this wishful brocade, and felt funny.

In fact, this Ruyi brocade just has a good name, the texture is really average, and it is not suitable to use it as a shirt, so the sales of this Ruyi brocade in Dongyuan and Nanzheng are very average, and the brocade people do not weave much.

As far as Northern Qi is concerned, in recent years, I don't know who began to spread the past of Miss Liu, so I stirred up the Ruyi brocade a little.

But it is only limited to when there is a prince who wants to choose a concubine, Ruyi Jin will be a big seller.

Once the prince chooses a concubine, Ruyi Jin will be unsalable immediately.

And when the prince of Northern Qi chooses a concubine, it also depends on the mood of the emperor of Northern Qi, and there is no rule at all.

Therefore, the shops of the Northern Qi Dynasty did not hoard this kind of brocade very much.

So this year, it suddenly came out that the eighth prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty wanted to choose a concubine, and the Liu family silk village happened to bring a few Ruyi brocade to Beijing, and he made a small profit.

"Actually, I think this brocade is just a gimmick. Miss Liu was so lucky back then, there is no second person in this world. A girl said implicitly.

"yes. This Miss Liu was originally going to be the crown princess, but later she became an orphan girl by mistake. Everyone thought that she must be finished, but she was accepted as a righteous daughter by the emperor, named a princess, and finally married to the Dongyuan Kingdom as a queen, extremely noble, and a woman can do this in her life, which can be regarded as the extreme. ”

The girls in the house talked about the past of Queen Qi Xueyun with envy.

Xia Dianxiang couldn't help but listen.

is an orphan girl like her, but the final situation is very different......

Xia Dianxiang remembered what the queen had done to her, and a hint of discoloration flashed in her eyes.

Although Ying Sleeve kept looking at Miss Zhao Er, the corner of her eyes kept staring at Xia Dianxiang, and naturally she didn't let go of the strange look in her eyes.

Almost......

"Do you know, I also heard that Miss Liu was accepted as a righteous daughter by the old emperor, but it was actually promoted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back then, that is, His Majesty the Emperor today."

"Really? Why? Didn't you hear that the prince fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to marry her as the crown princess? How did they become brother and sister again? ”

"This is the affection of His Majesty the Emperor. He just wants her to live a noble life and have no worries for a lifetime. knew that he couldn't marry her, so he changed his way to let the emperor accept her as a righteous daughter. Crowned the princess. After she was married, she personally gave her a marriage and married her to Dongyuan as the queen. Alas. If a man does this to me, I'll die in no time. ”

The girls chattered about the past between Qi Xueyun, the empress of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and Qi Chengfeng, the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and they were very envious.

Yingsleeve's heart moved, she didn't know these things yet, and hurriedly asked, "Is this true?" I haven't heard of it. ”

"These things are known to those old ministers in the court. Otherwise, why do you think our Emperor Majesty is so good to this righteous sister? It's better than my own sister! ”

The people of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty also knew that the Northern Qi Emperor was the backer of the Eastern Yuan Empress. Even Emperor Yuan Hong didn't dare to do anything to Qi Xueyun.

Qi Xueyun has done so many things, if it were an ordinary woman, I don't know how many times she would have been abolished and killed.

Just because of the Emperor of Northern Qi to support her. Therefore, she did whatever she wanted in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, tried her best to grab benefits for the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was eager to turn the Eastern Yuan Kingdom into a state and county of the Northern Qi Dynasty......

Xia Dianxiang's eyes were even deeper, and she noticed that someone was looking at her. Xia Dixiang hurriedly lowered her head and raised her glass to eat a cup of tea. Hiding the look in his eyes.

Everyone talked for a while, and it was time for the ceremony.

Yingsleeve walked at the end with the maid, looking at the various people in front of him unhurriedly.

When I came to the hall, I found that even the palace had sent someone to insert a hairpin for Miss Zhao, and everyone felt that Miss Zhao Er must be stable this time.

As a guest watching the ceremony, Yingsleeve has been standing in the most inconspicuous corner, looking at today's guests while staring closely at Xia Dixiang's every move.

and after the ceremony. The Zhao family came out to let everyone scatter, and then came back to eat.

Ying Sleeve stepped forward and gave Zhao Er a bracelet with a green head like autumn water. Only then did he retreat, took the little maid to the corner of the corridor, and saw a few girls also standing there talking, so he walked over and stood for a while, listening to them still talking about the queen Qi Xueyun, his eyes blinked, and he said thoughtfully: "I just came from the south, and I heard that a lot of things have happened in the Dongyuan Kingdom recently, and the queen mother, I heard that there are some problems." ”

"What's the problem?" These girls were curious, "There are really a lot of things going on in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom. ”

"I heard that her appearance seems to be completely different from before, and I don't know what's going on...... Some people suspect that her origin is unknown...... "Yingsleeve was also pointed, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xia Dianxiang coming over with Yun Zheng, and immediately covered his mouth and turned the topic to the clothes and satin that were popular in the south this year.

Xia Dianxiang walked over with a smile, and when she saw that the fat girl was not here, she tried her best to get close to everyone: "Sisters, what are you talking about?" It's so gratifying to say that......"

"We chatted and didn't say anything." Yingsleeve immediately said, winked at the other girls, and everyone laughed and dispersed.

Xia Dixiang found out that as soon as she came, everyone actually left, she was very unhappy, gritted her teeth, and asked Yun Zheng: "Yun Zheng, what did you say they were talking about just now?" Are you talking about me? ”

Yun Zheng shook his head: "The slave didn't hear it." ”

"Then you go and inquire about what they were talking about just now, don't be talking bad about me."

Xia Yanxiang returned to Northern Qi, only to find that it was completely different from before, she had no grade, and the people of Northern Qi counted those dead Northern Qi forbidden troops on her head, she was almost like a rat crossing the street in Northern Qi, everyone shouted and beat her.

The door of the family was completely closed to her, and even the Zhao family, a small official family that she didn't look down on before, had to be able to climb up in many ways.

How so?

Xia Yanxiang touched her face, and remembered the past of the queen Qi Xueyun that those people said just now, and sighed faintly.

Yun Zheng followed for a spin, and when she came back, her expression was very peculiar, she said: "Girl, the slave maid has heard a news, and I don't know if it's true or not......

"What's the news?" Xia Dianxiang asked absentmindedly, her eyes wandered among the male guests, and as soon as she saw someone looking over, she bent her charming eyes and looked over.

Yun Zheng said in a daze: "I heard, I heard that Qi Xueyun, the queen of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, may not be the princess of Northern Qi, Miss Liu." ”

"What?!" Xia Dianxiang raised her head suddenly, retracting her scattered gaze: "Who did you listen to?" You can't talk nonsense! ”

The slave and maid listened to their gossip. They didn't let the slave and maid listen, and the slave and maid found a little maid and promised her a silver money to find out, and they didn't know whether it was true or not, but they only said that it came from the south, and it was related to the heirs of the Sheng family......"

"The heirs of the Sheng family?!" Xia Yanxiang was even more surprised, thinking of Sheng Langzhong, who had been her master for a few days. I pondered it in my heart.

She remembered that when she was in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, she seemed to have heard that Empress Qi Xueyun's face was wrong and was cured by the descendants of the Sheng family. Her appearance has changed greatly, and then Queen Qi Xueyun has always been veiled, just like herself......

What's going on?

Xia Dianxiang was thinking about this until she went home.

"Yun Zheng, you once said that the queen of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom is coming back to save her relatives?" When she went to bed at night, Xia Dianxiang finally remembered Xia Fan's whereabouts.

"yes. The Overseer is going to prepare. Yun Zheng blew out the light, lifted the quilt on his feet, and got in.

Xia Dianxiang thought about it. After thinking of an idea, I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep.

……

Ying Sleeve returned to Liu's house from the Zhao family's and returned to Liu's house, and went to bed early without dinner.

She's been planning for the past few days, and today she finally threw the bait out. Now it's up to you to see if the fish has been hooked.

Wake up early the next morning. Sister-in-law Lu Ruilan and second sister-in-law Ning Shumei asked her to go to Guangyuan Temple outside the city to enjoy peonies.

This has also been said for a long time.

Yingsleeve still wore a mask and a curtain away, and took a car out of the city with Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei.

The cart drove slowly on the mountain road, bumpy all the way, and the sleeves were shaken and dozed off.

In a drowsy state, she smelled the strong medicinal fragrance again, and hurriedly took a few deep breaths, trying to identify which medicines it was, and whether it was worth a trip to the medicine mountain. As a result, she fell into a strange situation, and her mind was clear. But I couldn't open my eyes.

Half-asleep, Yingsleeve found herself in front of a garden.

There was a heavy fog around the garden, which obscured the shadows around it, and it was impossible to see the direction, and the only clear place was inside the garden.

Yingsleeve thought about it and walked over slowly.

She leaned on the arched moon cave door and looked at it, and saw that there was a lush Bodhi tree inside, and under the Bodhi tree was actually a pond.

The water of the pond is crystal clear, and there are many colorful koi fish swimming around.

There are many water lilies planted in the pond, all of which are originally holding flower buds, and they float on the surface of the water one by one, like jade ice carvings.

Looking at these water lilies, Yingsleeve suddenly felt so happy, as if he was at home.

She couldn't help but walk in, squatted down by the pond, stretched out her white jade hand, and touched the nearest water lily bud from the shore.

There seemed to be a chuckle like a silver bell in my ears.

Ying Sleeve looked around in surprise, but didn't see anyone else, only himself.

Burst...... Burst...... Burst......

There was a slight crackling sound coming from outside the garden.

Ying Sleeve looked up and saw that the fog outside the garden had climbed over the courtyard wall and overflowed.

When she turned around, she saw the purple water lilies in front of her, the clear pool water, the green lotus leaves, the colorful koi fish, the lush Bodhi, and in a trance, there seemed to be a distant Zen chanting Sanskrit sound coming to her along with the mist.

Ying Sleeves was stunned, and immediately stood up, her eyes fixed on the misty shore across the pond, and she clearly saw the figure of a man standing on the opposite bank, his deep eyes as black as a sinking star.

Isn't that Xie Dongli?!

"Fifth master! Fifth Master! How are you here! "I'm so happy that I'm about to fly over the pond with my skirt!

But this lift, she did not fly over the pond, but her body sank, plopped, and fell into the pond!

The water splashed everywhere, completely submerging the sleeves, and the water lilies with buds on the water surface were in full bloom at this time, as if they had been promised!

The purple petals unfolded one after another, like a beautiful woman unveiling her in front of the world.

Ying Sleeve floated up from the water and grabbed a water lily in her hand, but the water lily disappeared into her palm.

Ying Sleeve woke up in shock, and found that she was still sitting in the carriage, Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei beside her were whispering, and no one noticed that she had a dream just now.

What she didn't know was that at the same moment, on the distant stone mountain, someone was struggling in a deep sleep, and the purple water lilies in the stone jar beside him were blooming one after another.

"The flowers are blooming, the time has come, don't you want to wake up?" A deep voice whispered in the man's ear.
