Chapter Ninety-Four: Drunken Awakening
The night was cool.
Just like Kim Hanran's heart.
At the corner of the path outside the Moon Palace, Jin Hanran was like a predatory lion, hiding in a tree in the shadows. He hibernated, paying attention to all the movements in the Moon Palace, until he saw Emperor Min wearing a true dragon domineering body, striding away, his gloomy eyes took off a trace of ruthlessness, and when he unloaded his heart defense, he felt a chill on his back, and the cold sweat was already soaked and silky like a cloud of brocade.
After all, he saw the result he wanted, and it was not in vain that he risked his life to stay, Jin Hanran smiled, chose the opposite path to Emperor Min, and took a detour.
After a while, Emperor Min's departed figure turned back and looked at the empty path, cold:
"Ignorant children, don't know whether to live or die."
"Your Majesty, it's cool at night, go back."
Follow Emperor Min's attendant to call Xiao Xiangzi, see Emperor Min stop for a long time, cautiously warm words to persuade each other, accompany the king like a tiger wolf, but he is different, since he was a child, he has followed Emperor Min to study, is Emperor Min's most intimate person, the old mother outside the palace is also because of her own emperor to take care of the emperor, if there is anyone in this palace who still has a trace of true feelings for Emperor Min, it must be Xiao Xiangzi.
"Xiao Xiangzi, why do you say that one by one, they all disobey me, don't I really know? The imperial envoy doctor has already reported it, it is simply a misfortune for the family, the white-faced spider turned out to be released by Ruolan girl, and the black-clothed man who came to investigate at night was also sent by her, is it really true that I am dead? ”
The more Min Huang spoke, the more angry he became, and he slashed out horizontally with his hand, sparks splashed one meter away, and the sword qi stirred up a ravine.
In the end, the people were gone, leaving only the hideous ravines like the evil smile of the ghostly face, leaving the witness of Emperor Min's anger.
The next day, Nian Xiaojiao woke up in a severe headache, she frowned and sat in front of the brass mirror, the woman in the mirror was reflected with a warm yellow color, but the eyebrows and eyes were undoubtedly her own deity.
"Qing Yu, what happened yesterday?" Nian Xiaojiao hugged her head in annoyance, why did she take off the mask, her brain was blank and she couldn't think of anything.
"It's nothing, it's just that Jin Hanran is recognized as the son of Shang Hong, and he has to drag Emperor Min to drink." Qing Yu combed her hair for Nian Xiaojiao intimately on the side, her hair full of green silk hung down to her waist, and there was a slight chestnut color in the black.
Nian Xiaojiao patted her chest and secretly rejoiced: "It's okay, it's okay, I haven't done anything beyond the norm." ”
Qing Yu grabbed her hair and coiled it into a bun, looked sideways, well, it was quite upright, and then said leisurely: "By the way, you and the third prince are still ashamed." ”
"What do you mean by shame?"
"That's, that's it, kiss."
As if Qing Yu had done something embarrassing, his whole face was like a boiled shrimp, red and red.
"Ahh Nian Xiaojiao stroked her delicate lips, her tentacles were soft and warm, and she kissed a man who had not known her for a few days yesterday? She couldn't believe that she could do such a ridiculous thing when she was drunk.
Nian Xiaojiao wiped her lips fiercely, and didn't let go of herself until she was about to break her skin.
"Damn Jin Hanran, he doesn't know how to refuse?"
"He can take the initiative, but he likes it." Qing Yu thought about the situation last night, but didn't he take the initiative.
"Jin Hanran, who killed a thousand knives, I'm not done with you. You like to kiss, right, next time I have to tie a sow and kiss you enough! ”
Qing Yu knew that Nian Xiaojiao was a master who did what she said, she secretly thought about the picture of Jin Hanran and a sow, and suddenly felt a chill, and her sister's bad taste was really heavy.
"Sister, the hair has been combed, there is a bun on the top, and half of the hair is left below, which is the most suitable for my sister, smart and elegant. You see that this is the water lily golden hairpin sent by Emperor Min, and this is the Yuebai hosta sent by Shang Honggongzi, which one is better? ”
Qing Yu held a hairpin in one hand and a hairpin in the other, and asked what Nian Xiaojiao meant. The golden hairpin is extraordinary, the eighteen petals are lifelike, and the lotus flower adds a touch of elegance to the golden hairpin; The plain hosta is ordinary at a rough look, and it is fine when you look at it, crystal clear, as clear as water waves, and the jade quality is delicate, and it will be extraordinary.
"Vegetarian hosta."
A plain hairpin tied with hair, a moon-white robe, a light and elegant beauty.
"My sister is so beautiful." Qing Yu praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Take the peach blossom mask, it's not good if you don't have to be seen." Nian Xiaojiao stroked her face with her hand, and after wearing the mask for a long time, she almost didn't know herself.
When everything is ready, Yedi came up to report, and the queen mother came to invite Mama Zhang, saying that the lord of Yuejun had returned to the palace for the first time, and had not officially seen it, so please read Xiaojiao and talk about it.
"Qing Yu replaced me with a water lily golden hairpin."
"Yeti, you go and tell the emperor that I have gone to the queen's palace."
Nian Xiaojiaoyan leaned back on the chair and pondered, and endured it for a few days, Queen Dai couldn't sit still after all, whether it was a Hongmen banquet this time is unknown, but she can't risk her own life, or move out of the big Buddha of Emperor Min is reliable.
"Let's go, Qing Yu, it's not good to let Mama Zhang wait for a long time."
Nian Xiaojiao was the first to go downstairs, and from a distance, she saw a slightly chubby round-faced grandmother waiting in the lobby of the Moon Palace.
Seeing that Nian Xiaojiao was coming, Mama Zhang greeted her and bowed slightly: "Lord Mingyue is fine, my queen said that you just came to the palace a few days ago, and you were tired of traveling, so I was afraid that I was still a little uncomfortable, so I didn't come to bother." Now that the girl has probably rested, I would like to ask you to come over and talk about it. ”
"There's Mama Lao." Nian Xiaojiao withdrew a jasper bracelet on her wrist and put it on Mama Zhang's hand, Mama Zhang saw the situation and received it in her sleeve, and her movements were smooth, only Qing Yu, who was one step away behind Nian Xiaojiao, could see it clearly.
"I don't know what the queen called me, can I know?"
"It's just that the queen mother and the concubine are chatting, thinking that the county lord has been in the palace for a few days, and you have never seen it, so I want to see it, and talk about family life." Mama smiled happily, took people's soft hands, and told the truth.
In addition to the queen's mother, there is also a concubine? This is a coincidence, it is clearly a discussion, and she is waiting for her.
Nian Xiaojiao tried her best to keep her expression as usual: "Thank you for mentioning it." ”
The Moon Palace is in the northeast corner of the palace and has its own boundary. To the Fengxiang Palace where the queen is located, you need to walk for half an hour, the warm sun shines in winter, and you can walk to think of Xiao Jiao warm.
"Mama, how long do you have to go?"
"Come on, county lord, turn a corner in front of you, and it will be the Fengxiang Palace of the queen's mother." Mama Zhang said with relief.
Sure enough, after turning left in front, you can see the whole Fengxiang Palace surrounded by blue bricks from afar, the main gate is made of vermilion oak, and the doorknob above is carved with two mighty copper lion heads, lifelike, the town gate and town house. A palace exposes the vermilion cornice, and the four noble and holy fire phoenixes each stand a corner of the eaves, like living creatures, and the momentum is magnificent.
"This is the Fengxiang Palace where the queen lives, the fire phoenix, it is real, proud of everything. What a place to live. Nian Xiaojiao praised vigorously, these words must be able to reach the ears of the queen, and praise in front of the queen's mother, it is better to pass through Mama Zhang's mouth, which is more sincere.
"No, the emperor praised us for being Empress, who has both ability and political integrity, is virtuous and sensitive, and has a good queen. Only she is worthy of this Fengxiang Palace. Mama Zhang said proudly.
The love between master and servant is divided, one is prosperous and the other is lost. Over the years, she has followed the queen, but she has been a little powerful, and these praises are not her false praise, but she really thinks so, but Emperor Min said this twenty years ago, and in the future, there will be hundreds of beauties in the palace, and it is the most unpredictable king's heart, and whether Emperor Min still thinks so now, no one knows.
When Emperor Min was originally the prince, there was only one imperial concubine, that is today's Empress Dai, the two newlywed Yan'er, or after a few years of loving life, since the enthronement as the emperor, and the power rose together, it was the concubine of the harem. After accepting the daughter of the imperial envoy, he will also accept the niece of the Taifu, so as to calm the forces of all parties. The family affairs of the heavenly family are the affairs of the state, and the backyard of the heavenly family is the miniature version of the court. One person is dominant, two tigers fight, three-legged, and many parties are involved.
The most stable thing is that there are many entanglements, so the emperor takes the initiative to choose a concubine, or accepts gifts, and the most concubines are the school-age women who are openly and secretly related to the ministers. If you don't have a little power of your mother's family, it is even more difficult to gain a foothold in this harem, and your mother's family is weak, and you can only rely on the grace of the Son of Heaven to breathe, but the grace of the Son of Heaven is too changeable, and it is also the norm for newcomers to laugh today and cry tomorrow for the old to cry.
"Mama Zhang said very well, I have only been here for a few days, and I have heard of Queen Dai's virtuous name, no matter who is in this palace, they all praise Queen Dai for managing the entire harem in an orderly manner, Xiaojiao really admires it tightly." Nian Xiaojiao looked at the majestic palace in front of her, the momentum was like this, good is good, but it is too restrained, or the days outside the palace are free, for herself, such a day, canary-like, she doesn't want to give it to her. How can there be a high sky for birds to fly wide and the sea is wide and the fish jumps to be happy and dripping, life, isn't it good to do what you want and be free.
"Mama, you see that I am new to the palace, and I don't understand the rules of the palace, I am terrified, what do I need to pay attention to when I see the queen?" Nian Xiaojiao asked religiously.
"The queen mother is the most amiable, you don't need to worry, just answer normally." Mama Zhang suddenly approached Nian Xiaojiao and said mysteriously:
"It's just that Concubine Shu is used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays, so the county lord should have more snacks and deal with it carefully."
"Thank you for the mention." Nian Xiaojiao smiled at Mama Zhang, she already had a harmless face, and her smile was even softer and weaker.
Under the leadership of Mama Zhang, as soon as Nian Xiaojiao entered the courtyard gate, she heard a sneer in the hall: "Yo, this Mingyue County Lord is really a big shelf, three please four please haven't come yet." ”
Nian Xiaojiao, who had just stepped into the gate of Fengxiang Palace, was stagnant, and her voice sounded bitter and mean, and her owner must be a master who is not easy to mess with, probably the concubine in Mama Zhang's mouth.
Nian Xiaojiao took a deep breath and walked forward with a steady pace, the road ahead was thorny, and she had to walk through it step by step.
