[Snow Hime] Chapter 16: Entering the Palace
Hearing the sound of Xun, the injured red fox slowly walked out from under the bed
I beckoned to him: "Come here"
The red fox tilted its head, slowly raised its paws, and walked towards me, I squatted down and picked it up, its red fur was the same color as the blood, and after a long look at it, I realized that the wound was on the hind leg
I took it to the wardrobe and took the medicine box at the top of the closet, opened the medicine box, the medicine inside was already moldy and rotten, but I was afraid that the white gauze was also full of bacteria
I took the gauze, put the little fox on the table, and said to him, "I'll go wash the gauze and wait for me here."
The little fox blinked spiritually, as if to agree, but when I washed the gauze and came back, the room was empty, and there was no trace of the fox anywhere
I threw away the washed gauze in my hand in a daze, and the old people left one by one, and the little fox didn't want to stay by my side
That night I slept in the snow under the plum tree
No matter how bad I was, no one scolded me anymore, and without any surprise, I launched a high fever, and the snow kept falling in a daze
Suddenly, a blood-red plum blossom fell on my face with the cold wind
"Huh" I wonder how this plum blossom is warm
When I finally came to my senses, I saw that the "plum blossom" in front of me was the red fox that had slipped away, and I was inevitably a little surprised, I raised my hand and scratched its furry head and chuckled
"Little fox, I'll give you a name, okay...... Plum blossoms"
When the north wind stopped whimpering, the snowflakes stopped dancing, my fever subsided, and I went down the mountain with the "plum blossoms" in my arms
Changping City is still prosperous, people come and go, bustling, the imperial city is still majestic, standing proudly in the midst of countless wind and clouds, the sun shines on the bright tiles, and the golden light tempts people's hearts
I walked towards the Imperial City and was stopped by the guards guarding the city
"Please inform the two of you that the people's daughter, the Ji family, has occasionally obtained the flame spirit fox and wants to sacrifice your majesty."
"Plum blossom" out of the bosom, full of aura shaking the little head, suddenly cute, it is red, there is not a single stray hair, really like a flame
The two guards looked at each other, and one of them said, "You wait," and then turned to ask the leader of the city
The sun moved westward little by little, and from noon to dusk they asked me to stand motionless outside the imperial city, and waited motionless, until evening, when the sky began to drift again, and a general led a eunuch out
The old eunuch came to him and said domineeringly, "You are the one who wants to sacrifice the fire fox."
I bowed my head slightly in response
"Give me the fox and you can go," said the old eunuch, and reached out to snatch the "plum blossom" from my hand.
"Plum Blossom" writhed and drilled into my arms uneasily, I grabbed it and whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'll come back soon to pick you up," and I handed over "Plum Blossom" to the old eunuch
After the old eunuch took the plum blossom, I said: "I live in the plum blossom lane of Qingyuan Street (read long four tones here)"
The old eunuch was slightly stunned, thinking about it, he was quite puzzled by this sentence, when he opened his mouth and wanted to ask something more, I had already turned around and left, Murong Che had seen the "plum blossom", he would recognize it
As night falls, the lights come on
Qingyuan Street is in the city of Changping City, and it is the most lively at night, when the wine shop is full of lanterns, and the whole street is illuminated as if it were day
I stopped to stand in the bustling crowd... Liuzhong looked up at the brightly lit Baimei Pavilion on the left, the smiling woman with flowers and branches, and the pilgrims with spring on their faces. Hope is rooted in the depths of human nature and has not changed for many generations
"Baimei Pavilion" three cursive characters are like a dragon flying phoenix dancing, graceful and graceful, without losing a point of heroism, which is the original title of my own hands
I turned and walked in
As soon as he entered the door, a turtle slave stepped forward to block the way: "I'm sorry that this lady doesn't accept female guests in our Baimei Pavilion."
"Call the bustard to me"
The turtle slave smiled a little embarrassed: "Hehe...... This lady ......"
"What's wrong?" at this moment, a brightly dressed middle-aged woman walked over with a handkerchief in her handkerchief, and she raised her eyes to look at me
I glanced at her, too, but instead of her face, she wore a silver ring engraved with six petals of snow on the middle finger of her right hand, a ring that was a symbol of the status of the Drifting Snow Pavilion
"Scattered flowers, charming appearance, snow dance, nine days sprinkled without borders"
When the bustard heard my words, his face became respectful, and he raised his hand to lead: "Madame, please come with me."
I followed the bustard to the back hall, and everything was still the same as I remembered, except for the plum tree in the courtyard that grew thicker and had brilliant red flowers on its branches
Originally, there was a plum tree in this courtyard, but I couldn't be happy with the tender yellow flowers, so I made people cut it down, and planted a sycamore tree in the original place, and the dead branches of the sycamore were piled with white snow
I followed the bustard into a private room in the back hall, and after closing the door, the bustard asked with a serious expression, "I don't know what the lady is looking for me in the Drifting Snow Pavilion."
"Give me all the information about the Drifting Snow Pavilion and the court in the past few decades"
The old bustard's face changed: "We don't sell what Madame wants"
"Who said I'm going to buy it," I said, raising my eyes, and my black eyes gradually turned red and then purple
As the color of my eyes changed, the bustard's face also changed, and finally he knelt on the ground: "My subordinates draw fans, see the pavilion master"
When I left the Drifting Snow Pavilion, Aunt Mei once asked me how the descendants of the Drifting Snow Pavilion would recognize me in a hundred years, and I said casually, when they remembered a woman whose eyes would change color
I never thought I'd come back, and I didn't take that joke seriously, I never thought they would remember it
In the next few days, the painting fan handed me all the information I wanted, and informed the leaders of the Drifting Snow Pavilion scattered all over the place, and I asked her to invite the master of the Wushuang Pavilion, who knew that the painting fan actually told me that after Wang Zhiping's death, the Wushuang Pavilion was handed over to the Empress Dowager Bingyan, and after Bingyan's death, it was handed over to the current emperor Murong Che
The knife of Wushuang Pavilion is no longer as sharp as it was at the beginning, so even if Murong Che has Wushuang Pavilion on the side, the country is still in turmoil
I went back to the courtyard of Plum Blossom Lane, there was no drifting, no Aunt Mei, no Aaron, no old monkey, unusually deserted, making people crazy
On the fifth day, the officers and soldiers knocked on the courtyard door, and as soon as I walked out of the room, the "plum blossom" rushed in from outside, and could not wait to rush into my arms
The old eunuch was still on that day, and his face did not have the arrogant look of that day, he stood respectfully in the courtyard and said: "The emperor has decreed that the lady will enter the palace with the old slave."
"Please wait a moment, father-in-law"
I turned around and walked towards the Baimei Pavilion, summoned the painting fan, briefly explained a few words, and before I had time to see the Piaoxue Pavilion that came from all over the country, I got on a sedan chair and entered the palace in December
The world has changed, and among the many changes, the palace is the palace that has changed the least, and the pavilion is the same as it was at the beginning
Murong Che arranged for me to live in Yinshuang Garden, but I refused: "I want to live in Fengwu Palace"
"That's the queen's bedroom," Murong Che was very angry at this rude request
I said lightly: "Let the queen go to live in the Queen Mother's Yonghe Palace"
"No," Murong Che refused, "This is simply nonsense, if you don't stay in Yinshuang Yuan, you will leave the palace, okay, in the face of the current form, I am still powerless to deal with you, how can a woman have the power to turn things around, if you dislike Yinshuang Yuan, it is not good to leave the palace."
In the face of Murong Che's anger, I was not afraid, raised a smile lightly, and said indifferently: "If you want me to stay in the palace and help you keep the throne, let me go to Fengwu Palace, the palace of the Chinese Kingdom, I only live in Fengwu Palace."
When I had finished speaking, I raised my feet and was about to leave, but the "plum blossom" jumped down and blocked my way, and my two little paws shook in front of my chest, as if begging me to stay
Murong Che behind him smiled, after he saw the "plum blossom", he named it "Huohuo", which was delicious and delicious all day long, and he was a little more sure at the moment: "Huohuo is used to eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the imperial dining room, and he won't go with you."
I smiled indifferently: "If I leave, I won't come back to help you"
It doesn't matter if you are surnamed Murong or not, no matter whose descendant you are, I only love Murong Li, and what I care about is only my son Murong Chen
Murong Li has never loved this land, this river and mountain, the meaning of these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to him is just a fulfillment, fulfilling his hegemony and ambition, but all this is not the destination he is obsessed with
Chen'er is benevolent and loves the people deeply, but the life and death of this common man is just a pawn to manipulate the overall situation for me and Murong Li, which can be protected or discarded
What Jiangshan wants in a game of chess is only victory, as for how the chessboard is after victory, and what the chess pieces on it are, who cares
Since he didn't care, he didn't attach himself to me, and he left with his head held high, without a trace of hesitation
"Your Majesty, please chase after you," an old man who had served Bingyan walked over with the support of the palace maid, and she saw that I was leaving, and was very distressed and persuaded her: "The emperor, the queen mother's words are reasonable, you can't let her go, you go and chase it."
Murong Che was puzzled and motionless
"That plum blossom hairpin was given to Empress Ji by Emperor Wucheng back then," in a hurry, the old man blurted out, "The emperor begs you to go and chase people back"
In the Jiashan wooden house that day, I once said to Murong Che that this plum hairpin is mine, but now I heard the old man say that this plum blossom hairpin was given to me by Murong Li, Murong Che was finally moved, he walked quickly and stopped in front of me: "You are really the owner of this plum hairpin."
I looked up at his young face and said slowly, "If you want me to help you, you don't need to know who I am."
Murong Che stared at me for a long time and finally made a decision: "Okay, I will give you the status of Fengwu Palace and leave you in the palace."
