Chapter 115: Midnight Ghost Fire (1)
"Concubine Ning, I said you, Miss Li just came to the palace, you can't stop, look at this Miss Li, the Tao is down-to-earth and generous, I look like it tightly." Xiao Guifei's bright face looked at the next Ning Concubine with bright eyes.
"Yes, yes, Concubine Xiao, the concubine knows." Concubine Ning hurriedly responded, closed her lips and stopped talking.
"Come, sit down with me." The Queen Mother looked at it for a while and beckoned to Li Changqing.
Li Changqing had already glanced around, the queen didn't come over today, and Concubine De was not there, they should all be recuperating from their injuries, and the Tao was that in addition to the Queen Mother, Xiao Guifei was sitting at the top, and that Ning Concubine was obviously a little submissive, Xiao Guifei choked her with a word and didn't dare to say more.
I couldn't help but walk up to the Queen Mother again, and glanced at Xiao Guifei who was drinking tea, she was quiet and indifferent, there was a trace of heroism in her eyebrows, and her forehead was broad and smooth, which was enough to see her wisdom from physiognomy.
Li Changqing stepped forward obediently, and the Queen Mother stretched out her hand to the soft couch left aside on the side next to her, and said, "Sit here." ”
Li Changqing glanced down, if he sat down now, I am afraid that the charge would come down immediately.
"Back to the Queen Mother, just stand next to the courtiers, how dare you go hand in hand with the Queen Mother, is it a mess of etiquette?" Li Changqing replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
The Queen Mother nodded, secretly approving, this girl, the Tao knows the rules.
"Well, if you want to stand, just stand, the Tao is embarrassing for you to have this heart."
"Yes." Li Changqing obediently stood on the side of the Queen Mother, and Mama Yu stood on the other side of her, looking at Mama Yu's face, which had been cold and emotionless, Li Changqing remembered Xuanyuan's words.
Mama Yu is the queen mother's own sister.
The Queen Mother is so noble and dignified, she actually let her biological sister be the grandmother in the palace, Li Changqing always felt strangely tight in his heart, and felt that there were secrets that he had not yet understood thoroughly.
"Miss Li, come here today to accompany the Queen Mother for seven days, you have to calm down and learn Buddhism, the Queen Mother has been participating in Buddhism for many years, you are blessed, how can we have this kind of blessing to make the Queen Mother so favored?" Which concubine who had just joined spoke again.
"Thank you ladies for lifting up the courtiers." Li Changqing said shyly, as if he didn't understand.
"Mama Yu, go get me the Luminous Bracelet, this girl, I like it, so I'll give it to her."
The concubines were in an uproar.
Yeming bracelet is the queen mother's favorite bracelet, on weekdays to eat fasting and chanting Buddha are carried in their hands, today they did not look carefully, the queen mother actually did not bring a bracelet, but also asked Mama Yu to take it to Li Changqing, this Ming'er is the gift that she wanted to prepare for her early.
Inevitably, there are concubines with small rank and short-sightedness who show envy and jealousy.
Although I don't know what kind of aristocratic thing the Yeming bracelet in the Queen Mother's mouth is, but when I raised my eyes and looked at the faces of the concubines below, I knew that the Yeming bracelet couldn't help but be valuable, and I was afraid that it was very special, so I waited quietly there.
After looking at Mama Yu, she came up with a box, and when she looked at it, it had been some years, and there were traces of wear on the edges, and even the paint had fallen off, revealing the gray-white wood inside.
"Come, come." The Queen Mother said to Li Changqing, pulled her slender wrist, and then took out the luminous bracelet in the box, slowly passed it, and put it on her hand.
"I'll give this girl to you, so I'm going to wear it." The Queen Mother said with a smile, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes slowly lengthened with the shaking of her expression, which couldn't help but remind Li Changqing of the scene she saw in the dark room, the same smile, looking at Li Changqing's eyes at the moment, was extremely dazzling.
It's like it's the same person, but why, her feeling is so unreal, and even, she thinks, under this kind of face, how many dirty things are hidden in that untouchable smile?
The Queen Mother's hand was very smooth and delicate, and when she grabbed her left wrist, Li Changqing could clearly feel her hand trembling slightly.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Li Changqing blessed his body and replied respectfully to the Queen Mother.
"This girl, why are you so polite."
After speaking, he chatted with Li Changqing about some irrelevant words, and the concubines below also seemed to feel embarrassed and lost their energy just now.
The Tao is Xiao Guifei, who has been sitting there dignifiedly, not hurrying, tasting tea, occasionally saying a few words with a concubine next to her, laughing a little or two, Li Changqing has never seen anything wrong with her, and Mama Yu, from beginning to end, crossed her hands in front of her, bowed her head, and stood there respectfully and uprightly, without the slightest deviation.
After chatting for a while, the Queen Mother was a little tired, so she instructed Mama Yu to take Li Changqing down to rest first and familiarize herself with the situation in the palace.
The place where the Queen Mother lives is very large and spacious, but for Li Changqing, he is used to the appearance of the palace in his previous life, and when he arrives at the Queen Mother at this time, it is like walking through a labyrinth again.
However, she still has the heart to remember every corner she has walked.
After all, how hard is it for a person to go back alive in this palace that eats people and does not spit out bones?
"Miss Li is temporarily living here today, if there is anything, she will tell Chunhe outside the door, she is the old lady in the palace, and she is very familiar with it."
"Thank you, Mama Yu."
"Miss Li is here for the first time, if there is anything you want to go, you can find Chunhe." Mama Yu seemed to give Li Changqing a message, but when she thought of Xuanyuan Qi's advice yesterday and the words that Han Ying brought to her Xuanyuan Chu, she couldn't help but still mention it in her heart. But to Mama Yu, she still nodded obediently.
If you really want what the six princes say, then why did the Queen Mother let her own sister serve for many years? Is there really anything unspeakable?
Li Changqing watched Mama Yu leave and sat in the room, looking at the elegant furnishings, the room was unusually clean, and even the table was polished.
I can't help but wonder, have there been people living in this house before? Or, just a room specially cleaned up for her.
Thinking of this, his head began to ache faintly, so he lay on the bed and rested for a while, and his heart began to feel a dull pain, and he reached out and kneaded the meat, and smelled a strange fragrance in a daze, and immediately sat up.
But the moment he opened his eyes, he was suddenly frightened by a magnified face in front of him, and his heart almost jumped out.
What kind of face is this?
Half of the face was burned, the pits were pitted, and you could almost see the pus and blood gushing out of the recessed pit, and the other face, with a dark complexion, and the eyes seemed to be open, but they were still pulling down at the place of the eyelids, hanging at the corners of the eyes, half of the lips were also burned, and the other half began to tilt upwards towards the eyes, and the whole face could almost be said to have no trace of human shape, which almost made Li Changqing think that she had seen a ghost, but she spoke.
“――”
