Chapter 170: Surprised

It had been more than two years since she last returned to Yong'an Palace.

She was not yet ten years old at the time, but now she is now looking at her and is going to be at the age of the hand. Princess Megumi is still two years older than her, and it won't be long before it's time to be married.

The marriage of the princess has never been easy to choose, especially as the daughter of Emperor Su Fang. It stands to reason that after tomorrow's birthday, Ji Tongying's marriage is almost on the table, and she begins to choose.

I don't know who will fall into the hands of this delicate flower in the end.

Xie Shuning sat on the table, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of a suitable person.

Looking all over Kyoto, I can't find a family with a good identity.

She looked sideways at the high walls on either side of the meazzale and sighed almost inaudibly.

In her previous life, until she died, Duan Wang Ye was still Duan Wang Ye, and he failed to become Emperor Su Fang. Therefore, she has no impression of who the little princess from the side concubine married in the end. After she married into the Changping Marquis Mansion, she attended the banquets of various families, and rarely met Ji Tongying, the two did not say that they were good friends, and they had never even met a few times.

It stands to reason that she is very familiar with the circle of noble ladies in Kyoto. The spring banquet of Concubine Bai was also year after year, until Yanhuai was regent, and the people of Kyoto were panicked, and no one was willing to go out to the banquet anymore, so it was stopped. She has also participated in a few times, but she has never seen the married county lord in those few times.

Now that I think about it, I just feel that there is an indescribable weirdness in this matter.

"Miss Eight, it's here."

The shrill voice of the little eunuch suddenly sounded in her ears, interrupting her musings.

She gathered her chaotic thoughts, smiled and reached out to the back of the little eunuch's hand, was picked up from the small hand, and slowly walked towards the main hall.

This place, unchanged over the years, is no different from what she remembers.

Carved beams and painted columns. Painted beasts, all lifelike.

Walking through the corridor, she suddenly heard a burst of uninterrupted birdsong, and subconsciously looked up, but the high upturned cornices were empty, and there were no birds under the blue sky.

She couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that she had heard the errand.

However, when she was about to raise her feet, she immediately heard a slight flutter of wings, and her footsteps froze again.

Xie Shuning quickly raised his head and followed the prestige.

This time, I saw it!

A little bit. It's like a mosquito and a fly, and I can't see it clearly.

"What's that?" She was so surprised that she thought she had seen something wrong, and rubbed her eyes hurriedly, but she opened her eyes and looked again. What she saw was still the same thing, and she couldn't help but ask softly.

The little eunuch who led the way squinted and looked in the direction of her finger. Jumping on the feet. "Oh no, how did this ancestor fly here!"

As the words fell, a few people came running from afar.

Xie Shuning looked at it, but it was a few palace maids with bright eyes, and the person who took the lead was holding a snow-white and smooth cage in his hand, which was delicate and small.

Stay closer. Xie Shuning was shocked to realize that this cage was actually carved from white jade.

"Sisters, but you're here to catch the birds?" Before she could finish her surprise, the little eunuch had already hurried up to meet her. Lian Sheng asked.

The palace maid carrying the white jade birdcage exuded a faint fragrance, nodded her head, and said hurriedly: "At dawn, this bird somehow ran out, and the queen mother was so angry that she didn't even have breakfast!" ”

Hearing this, the little eunuch took two steps back nervously and said, "Sisters, bring the birds back." ”

A few people stopped talking, and the palace maids who hugged the birdcage went in the direction where the birds stopped.

The little eunuch wiped his sweat back and said to Xie Shuning: "Eighth Miss, please." ”

Xie Shuning then retracted his gaze and followed him to continue walking inside.

This group of palace maids are the people next to the queen, but they came to Ji Tongying's palace to catch birds......

As she walked forward, she remembered the strange bird's appearance.

Such a small bird, it can be seen that it is a rare thing to make the queen angry, not to mention that it is specially equipped with a white jade birdcage, such a scene is rare.

When she was about to walk to Ji Tongying's dormitory, she suddenly realized and remembered.

It is recorded in the 463 volumes of the Taiping Guangji that there is a species of bird that is "as big as a fly, like a parrot, and hears the sound for several miles, like the sound of a yellow bird."

- This bird, the name is the fine bird, and the alias is the migratory insect.

As soon as it reaches dawn, it makes a small sound.

Xie Shuning also thought about it, this kind of bird has a very strange temperament, and it can't be tolerated by a non-white jade cage, otherwise its eyes will be inexplicably blind.

This bird is also very close, but only men are not close, and they like femininity. On summer nights, it is often attached to the curtains, or into the wide sleeves, and the sound is endless.

But these are not the most special things about fine birds.

The reason why it is strange is because of its strange nature, and secondly, because of its skin.

The skin of a fine bird is extremely precious.

After the woman eats it, the snow skin is white and transparent, and it can shimmer in the dark night, and it is unparalleled.

Xie Shuning recalled them one by one, and unconsciously explored the queen a little more.

The queen is still very young, so she is naturally youthful, but unfortunately, her appearance is not very good by nature, and she is still like this outside, not to mention being in a harem full of beautiful women.

She can find fine birds, and she can be regarded as a capable person.

Since the "Taiping Guangji", there is no trace of fine birds in many ancient books, and there is not even a trace of the West Yue before the Great Yue.

The first time Xie Shuning saw a record of the fine bird in the book, she thought that the bird was extinct, but now it seems that she is lonely and unheard.

She entered the dormitory with a lot of heart and saw Ji Tongying, who she hadn't seen for a long time.

After two years, Ji Tongying has grown into a full girl, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and she is very pretty.

But for some reason, there seemed to be a thick haze between her eyebrows and eyes, which gradually covered the anger in her eyes.

She was slightly surprised, and then connected with the words that Ji Tongying had written in the letter before, pressed down her uneasiness, and stepped forward to ask for peace.

Ji Tongying was really happy to see her, and came forward to drag her up with a smile.

"It's good for you, if you go for more than a year, I'll never come back in this life!" Pulling her into a seat, Ji Tongying ordered someone to make clouds and snow buds and send them up, and handed her one with her own hands.

Xie Shuning knew that she had always been like this, so she didn't fake much, and just thanked her directly.

The two gossiped a few words. Ji Tongying suddenly waved her hand and left everyone behind, leaving the two of them alone.

Xie Shuning vaguely realized that she was going to say something important to herself.

Taking a sip of the tea in the cup, she looked at the floating leaves on it, and lowered her voice: "What does the princess want to say to Aman?" ”

Ji Tongying Huo Ran stood up and circled back and forth in place, her gorgeous clothes flying like butterflies.

After a long while, she stood still, and said with a gloomy expression: "I shouldn't have said this, but I thought." It's always okay to talk to you, besides, if I don't talk about it, I'm afraid I'm going to be suffocated to death. ”

Seeing this, Xie Shuning couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked her in a different color: "It's about the harem?" ”

Ji Tong Sakura bowed his head.

Xie Shuning immediately got up and wanted to refuse to listen to her.

Things in the harem. She is only a folk girl, and she doesn't want to cause trouble.

But the words of refusal have not yet been able to be exported. Ji Tongying has already spoken: "The queen is not a good person! ”

Xie Shuning heard this. Inexplicably relieved.

It's better to just say that. But the queen is the one who is in charge of the six palaces, and the imperial concubine Bai has been favored for many years, as the daughter of the Bai family, Ji Tongying said such a thing, if someone with a heart listens to it, it will inevitably cause trouble.

She thought for a moment. Then he said: "The queen mother is the world, and she is stricter." ”

Ji Tongying sneered, "She is also worthy of the four words of the mother in the world?" ”

After speaking, she suddenly stretched out her hand to block her eyes. Choked up: "Aman, she killed my unborn brother!" ”

Xie Shuning was shocked, "What? ”

"The mother concubine is pregnant, but she just doesn't know, forcing the mother to work day and night, morning and dusk, and she always stays more than others. It's a deep sisterhood, but what about in the bones? She just hated her mother. The mother concubine was cautious, and she didn't even taste a drop of water in her palace, but Rao was finally pushed off the stage by her in front of everyone! Ji Tongying said that after speaking, she had already gritted her teeth, "She pretended to fall, deliberately pulled her mother and didn't let her mother go and used her mother as a mat, and she cried and cried, but she only twisted her ankle and rubbed a little skin, which was disgusting!" ”

Xie Shuning was dumbfounded.

This kind of method, she really didn't expect.

Rough, but reliable.

The queen herself fell and was injured, where can she be blamed for this?

Xie Shuning hugged Ji Tongying's shoulders and comforted her gently: "Both the mother and the princess have suffered. ”

However, she was thinking in her heart that with Bai's scheming methods, she would not fail to fight back. But looking at Ji Tongying's appearance now, you can know that the Bai family has indeed not done it these days. Otherwise, the queen's people would not have come to Yong'an Palace to catch birds.

Isn't there anything else strange here?

Ji Tongying didn't know what she was thinking, suppressed her crying, and trembled with sadness.

After crying for a while, she gradually stopped crying, opened her hazy teary eyes, and looked at Xie Shuning fixedly.

Xie Shuning was furious when she looked at her, "What's wrong with the princess?" ”

Ji Tongying stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, and suddenly burst into tears and smiled: "Do you enter the palace once and accompany me to do something." ”

"What?" Xie Shuning became more and more uneasy, feeling that she couldn't escape this time, so she had to ask carefully what was going on.

Ji Tongying put her arms around her neck, the two of them were very close, almost face to face, and whispered: "The queen and Concubine Shu are very good." ”

Hearing Concubine Shu, Xie Shuning's body stiffened, and she felt more and more that what she was going to do was not a good thing.

"Concubine Shu is a good person, she is beautiful, she has a good temperament, she is also gentle and amiable, and her heart is too soft, so she asked the queen to give her a trick." Ji Tongying didn't notice her stiffness, and still said to herself, "Let's go quietly and tell Empress Shu about the ugly face!" ”

She said it with righteous indignation, but Xie Shuning was drenched in a cold sweat when she heard it.

It's right that Concubine Shu is beautiful, but she is kind-hearted and soft-hearted, who can she say?

If she was really like this, how could she put her young son on the throne and become the queen mother in her previous life? She is friendly with the queen, and she must have other plans, how can she really be deceived? (To be continued......)
