Xia Yingchun woke up quietly, opened his apricot eyes, his face was full of horror, and he screamed: "Quick, go and invite the king over." Xiaomei, the palace maid, hurriedly came to the palace of the concubine. King Qi Xuan's chamberlain, the great eunuch Wang Ping, stopped her at the palace gate.

Xiao Mei stomped his feet anxiously, and begged: "Princess, please, go and tell the king, the queen was frightened and fainted, please go over and take a look." ”

Wang Ping glanced at the closed door of the dormitory, and said with a face full of embarrassment: "Xiaomei'er, the king is sleeping peacefully with a beauty, who dares to disturb, don't you die." You better go back and tell the queen, and when the king wakes up tomorrow, I will tell the king for you, and let the king go and see the queen?" You go back first! ”

Xiaomei had no choice but to slowly return to Kunning Palace and tell Xia Yingchun the matter clearly with trepidation.

Xia Yingchun fainted angrily when he heard this. In short, this night, the chickens and dogs of Kunning Palace were restless, and they made a lot of noise all night.

And the initiator, Zhong Lichun, slept very sweetly. I got up early the next day, full of energy, with a bright look, my lips slightly hooked, and my pink face smiling.

Chen Yujin was in a good mood when she saw Zhong Lichun, and quipped: "Sister, I had a good dream last night, and today, I look good." ”

Zhong Lichun gave her a blank look and smiled without answering. After freshening up, having breakfast, my steps were light, and I came to Kunning Palace. Seeing Xia Yingchun wearing thick makeup, it was still difficult to hide her haggard and tired face, and she couldn't help but feel good, her lips hooked lightly, Xia Yingchun, this is just the beginning, and you will suffer in the future. I will repay all the pain you have inflicted on me.

After Zhong Lichun greeted Xia Yingchun among the show girls, he summoned Chen Yujin and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Chen Yujin hurriedly came to the palace of the concubine. When Wang Guifei heard the news from the palace maid, she hurriedly walked to the side hall and summoned Chen Yujin to the inner room, and asked, "My sister called you here, but what do you have to say?" ”

Chen Yujin's respectful Wang Guifei bowed, "Qi Guifei Niang, my sister instructed the slave maid to tell the Guifei Niangniang, be careful to beware of the queen's tricks, and pay attention to food and drink." ”

Wang Guifei's heart sank, how could she forget! The queen obviously doesn't dare, she will definitely come to the trick, it seems that she will have to be more vigilant in the future! So he said in a deep voice: "You go back and tell my sister, my sister thank you sister for reminding me, I will pay attention to it." ”

Chen Yujin said again: "My sister called the slave maid to tell the concubine Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang tried her best to hold the king these days, and did not let the king see the queen, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be to the concubine in the future." ”

Wang Guifei nodded, "You go back and tell my sister, I know, I will find a way to keep the king in the palace and not let the king go out." Please rest assured. Now that there are many people, you can go back first! ”

Chen Yujin Nuonuo withdrew from the palace of the concubine. When he returned to the Ning Xiang Pavilion, he found that Zhong Lichun was not in the attic again. In the past few days, Zhong Lichun has avoided herself, going out early and returning late every day, and she doesn't know what she is doing.

Chen Yujin is used to it. Shook her head, I really don't know what my sister thinks, other women enter the palace, they are desperately seizing the opportunity to get the favor of the king. I prefer my own girl to be special, and I don't want to compete for favor at all, but instead promote others to compete for favor. I really can't guess what she was thinking. Chen Yujin sighed, had nothing to do, and sat in front of the window embroidering with embroidery.

Jun Mowen stood on the seaside, the gentle sea breeze blew the wide sleeves, watching the last batch of iron ore loaded onto the ship, sailing away from the port, a stone in his heart fell to the ground, in the country of Qi for more than half a year, it took a lot of time, up and down, and finally got what he wanted. It's finally done. You can go to do your own private affairs, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, Jun Mo can't help but look forward to it, that little girl doesn't know what's going on, will she be surprised to see herself!

Jun Mowen was apprehensive in his heart, his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, he took out the paper he treasured in his arms, and looked at the familiar handwriting. The dragon flies and the phoenix dances, vigorous and powerful, and has the momentum of commanding thousands of troops. I was still puzzled.

The little girl is like a mess of mystery, and she can't solve it. But I checked it a few times, but I couldn't find anything suspicious, the little girl grew up in the county guard's mansion, and never stepped out of Qingzhou half a step, but that fierce momentum, and exquisite swordsmanship, and not a fourteen-year-old girl can have.

Jun Mowen turned around and stepped on chasing the clouds and went straight to Qingzhou. It was dark until it was dark, and he couldn't wait to jump into the county guard, and a few jumped into Qingyayuan. I realized that something was wrong, hey, why didn't the little girl practice swords, how could she be so quiet! The room was closed and there was no light. Could something have happened?

Jun Mo was startled, hurriedly pushed open the window door, and lit the oil lamp, where there was a shadow of the little girl. It's been a long time since anyone lived there.

Jun Mowen's head exploded, and he sat on the bed dejectedly, looking at familiar things, and there was still a trace of familiar smell in the brocade quilt on the bed, but people didn't know where they went.

Jun Mo asked Huo Ran to get up, went straight to the backyard, came to Ding's room, and knocked on the door.

Jun Mo couldn't ask a lot, and asked repeatedly: Where did Zhao Ruoyan go, did something happen? ”

When Zhao Zhongquan heard the voice of the strange man, he was suddenly startled and asked, "Who are you, why did the third watch inquire about the whereabouts of the little girl in the middle of the night." ”

Jun Mo calmed down, suppressed the impatience in his heart, and slowed down his voice, "Jun, Jun, Jun, is Ruoyan's friend, I came here tonight to disturb the adults." I don't know where Ruoyan went, can you tell me. ”

Zhao Zhongquan and Ding hurriedly got up, got out of bed in their clothes, lit candles, opened the door, and saw a handsome man, dressed in white, with a face like a crown of jade, red and white, with a graceful demeanor, and a handsome young man.

Jun Mo asked when he saw Zhao Zhongquan come out, and stepped forward to salute, "The junior is presumptuous and disturbs the adults, I don't know where Ruoyan has gone, and what happened to him." ”

Zhao Zhongquan sighed and arched his hand: "Lord Lao Shaoge, the little girl has been drafted into the palace, and now it has been more than a month. ”

"What, draft into the palace?" Jun Mo was shocked. suddenly remembered that more than a month ago, I found a familiar gaze staring at me in the capital, could it be her.

Jun Mo didn't care much, grabbed Zhao Zhongquan, and shouted: "Did you send her to the palace for the sake of glory and wealth?" "The momentum is awe-inspiring, and it is suddenly released.

Zhao Zhongquan was shocked and shuddered in fright, "The old man loves Ruoyan like a pearl in his palm, how could he send her to the palace for the sake of something outside his body." ”

"Then why did she enter the palace, it couldn't be that she wanted to enter the palace herself!" Jun Mowen's eyes were cracked, and his eyes were red.

Ding hurriedly tore Jun Mowen away and said: "Shaoxia let go first, there is a reason for it, we didn't deliberately send her to the palace, it was really forced to do it." ”

Jun Mo asked Zhao Zhongquan and asked, "What is the reason, quickly explain it clearly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Ding sighed and told Chen, and Qin ordered it to be repeated. At the end, Ding said: "Ruo Yan voluntarily entered the palace for us, if the young man wants to blame, he will kill us." Since Yan'er left, I have been haunted by nightmares every night, always dreaming of her suffering in the palace. Woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep at night. It's a hundred dead people. After speaking, he lay on Zhao Zhong's whole body and cried in a low voice. Zhao Zhongquan stroked Ding's back and comforted him with kind words.

Jun Mowen was furious, and his bowels were blue with regret, he knew that he would have slapped Chen to death in the first place. Only blame the benevolence of a thought, leaving a bane. Jun Mo asked and wanted to kill himself. raised a slap and slapped himself hard, and suddenly his white face showed five bruised handprints.

Zhao Zhongquan and Ding were stupid by Jun Mowen's actions, and stayed there and didn't dare to move.

Jun Mowen hurriedly said goodbye, returned to the inn, rode on the chasing clouds, and rushed to Beijing under the stars.

Zhong Lichun took advantage of Tian Yujiang's absence in Kunning Palace, and sent gifts to Xia Yingchun every night to ask for his life. scared Xia Yingchun to death several times, and invited King Qi Xuan to Kunning Palace again and again. However, King Qi Xuan fell into the gentle village of the beauty and did not want to come over.

The angry Xia Yingchun smashed the furnishings of Kunning Palace and smashed it again. But he was helpless and wanted to play a trick, but King Qi Xuan stayed in the Guifei Palace every day, and ordered someone to bring the folds into the Guifei Palace for approval.

Kunning Palace was brightly lit, Xia Yingchun lay on the phoenix couch and opened her eyes wide, not daring to close her eyes, hearing the drum beating the third watch, she didn't sleep well for a few days, she gradually closed her eyelids, and fell asleep again in a daze. After a while, Zhong Lichun's miserable and cold voice sounded in his ears as usual.

"Ah......h Xia Yingchun screamed, trembling all over, her face was pale, she didn't care about her face, and ordered the palace maid to dress herself neatly, make up for thick makeup powder, and make the palace maid take the lamp straight to the palace of the concubine.

Wang Ping was outside the palace gate, watching Xia Yingchun with a group of palace maids rushing straight to the palace of the concubine from a distance, thinking that it was bad. hurriedly stepped forward, "The slave knocked on the queen's mother." ”

Xia Yingchun waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, is the king still dealing with government affairs?" ”

Wang Ping swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice: "The queen forgives her sins, and the king has already slept peacefully with the two beauties." If the queen dared to break in, she was frightened. ”

Xia Yingchun forcibly suppressed his anger, "This palace has something important to ask to see the king." ”

Wang Ping looked embarrassed, looked at Xia Yingchun's fierce eyes, and had to open the palace door again, and said to King Qi Xuan, who was still having fun in the bedroom: "King Qiyu, the queen is asking to see you at the palace gate." ”

King Qi Xuan made a move, and shouted loudly: Useless minion, don't you see that this king is doing something. If he does not go out yet, he will say that this king will pass tomorrow. Wang Ping turned around.

I saw Xia Yingchun and the palace maid break in directly, and he was frightened, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Queen Niangniang, please go back to the palace first." The king will go to see the mother tomorrow. ”

Xia Yingchun looked at the closed door, heard Yan Hao's voice coming from inside, his chest rose and fell angrily, and he shouted: "What if this palace has to go in?" ”

Wang Ping stopped him tightly, "Niangniang, please think twice, if you anger the king, no one can afford to be guilty." ”

Xia Yingchun stood outside the door, listening to the sound of laughter and slapping inside, and finally burst into tears, his eyes were blurred, and he stood there in a daze. The memories of ten years ago drifted through my mind like a cloud. Originally, as long as Zhong Lichun was removed and he was in the back position, he would be able to spoil the harem alone, but he didn't expect that it would only be more than half a year. He followed in Zhong Lichun's footsteps. Xia Yingchun was unwilling to return to Kunning Palace with the support of the palace maid.

Zhong Lichun looked at Xia Yingchun's lost appearance on the roof, and his heart was indescribably comfortable. Xia Yingchun, you finally experienced the taste of abandonment.

Zhong Lichun quietly returned to the attic, undressed and went to bed. A good night's sleep.

The next day, I came to Kunning Palace, and after waiting at the door for most of the day, I heard a word from Kunning Palace, the queen was unwell, and all the beautiful girls were exempted from asking for peace for half a month.

The show girls smiled happily after hearing this. Happily returned to his palace.

Zhong Lichun listened to the palace maid and smiled lightly, it was true that he was feeling unwell, and the loss in his heart was even more real. She glanced at Kunning Palace. Red lips hooked slightly, with a hint of a smile, and turned to leave. Zhong Lichun's steps were light, and he quickly came to the prince's bedroom.

Tian Ning had already stretched his neck, didn't look at the book with his hand, just stared at the door. Seeing a familiar figure imprinted in his eyes, Tian Ning jumped up and plunged into Zhong Lichun's arms like a fly.

Zhong Lichun hugged his son and touched his son's little head. smiled: "Ning'er finished reading the book this morning?" ”

Tian Ning raised his head, the book has long been read, my sister doesn't believe it, I'll recite it to you, and after speaking, I memorized a Warring States Treatise word for word.

Zhong Lichun looked at the book, but he didn't make a mistake, so he nodded and smiled: "Yes, Ning'er is attentive."

Tian Ning said quietly: "Sister, when do you think I will be able to avenge my mother's hatred?" ”

Zhong Lichun's heart jumped, and he said softly: "Ning'er, your mother must hope that you can protect yourself first, and then avenge her for her." ”

Tian Ning nodded, "Before the queen mother died, she told Ning Er like this, but as a man, if you can't avenge the queen mother, you are really a son of man in vain." ”

Zhong Lichun knew that the scene of his dying had left a wound in Tian Ning's young heart. So he said in a deep voice: "Ning'er is too young, and now it is too early to say that she will avenge her mother, and wait for Ning'er to become an adult." It's not too late to correct the name of the queen mother. In the future, you must not say this to anyone, otherwise you will be killed. Do you understand? ”

Tian Ning nodded, "Sister, why are you late today?" ”

Zhong Lichun smiled and said, "Today, my sister has good news for you. ”

"What's the good news?" Tian Ning raised his little face and asked curiously.

Zhong Lichun smiled, omitted the plot where he scared Xia Yingchun, and only told Xia Yingchun in detail about the fact that Xia Yingchun led people into the palace of the concubine, but was rejected by King Qi Xuan.

When Tian Ning heard this, he jumped three feet high excitedly, clapped his hands and laughed, "Great, the queen mother has a spirit in the sky, and she will be happy when she sees it." ”

Zhong Lichun smiled, looking at his son's excited appearance, and felt relieved. He asked with a smile, "Is Ning'er still practicing swords today?" ”

Tian Ning quickly picked up the short sword and said, "Practice, can you practice it?" After speaking, one trick is used one by one.

Zhong Lichun looked at it and nodded frequently, "Well, Ning'er has already practiced these few tricks, and today my sister will teach you a few new tricks." After speaking, he picked up the bamboo strip, practiced a few more swordsmanship, and taught Tian Ning hand in hand.

Tian Ning was concentrating on practicing the new swordsmanship, and Li Ping watched silently from the sidelines,

Zhong Lichun corrected from time to time. After a morning of practice, I learned the same thing.
