Chapter 850: Beauty and the Beast

Chi Danmei shook her head and said, "Don't tell anyone about this, and you don't have to worry about it." I won't hurt anyone in the palace, and I'll be careful not to be discovered, so you don't have to worry. ”

"Why is that?" Qi Ning hurriedly said: "This palace is full of palaces, there are nearly 100 palaces of all sizes, you are not familiar with this place, to find things in such a big place, isn't it looking for a needle in a haystack, looking for a room by room, even if it is not discovered, it will take many years." Rather than spend so much time here, wouldn't it be easier for me to ask the emperor directly for a reward. ”

"I said I can't do it if I don't do it." Chi Dan said anxiously: "Although that thing is of little use to you, your emperor will never give it to you. ”

Qi Ning was stunned, and his heart was full of doubts: "Why? What are you looking for, so weird? ”

Before Chi Danmei could speak, she heard a shout from outside: "Hou Ye, Hou Ye!" ”

The two immediately separated, Qi Ning flashed to the door, and when he heard the voice approaching, Chi Danmei had already leaned over and whispered: "We have been here for too long, there must be suspicion over there, send someone to find it." ”

Qi Ning also knew that he would always be strange when he came out for so long, so he said in a low voice: "Then you have to be careful in the palace, I will come to see you when I have the opportunity." Thinking that he couldn't go directly to Fengyi Palace to find it, it would not be easy to see Chi Danmei next time, so he thought of something and asked in a low voice: "Sima Yunqiong was pricked with a needle in her leg yesterday, is it a good thing for you?" ”

Chi Dan smiled charmingly and did not answer, Qi Ning looked at her eyes and knew that what happened yesterday must have been done by her.

At this time, hearing the cry approaching, Qi Ning knew that it was not good to delay any longer, so he opened the door with a "ga", pretending to tidy up his clothes and walked out of the door, just as a palace maid over there was coming, saw Qi Ning, and said busily: "Master Hou!" ”

Qi Ning coughed twice, and at this time, Chi Danmei had already followed out of the door, waved her hand to close the door, and stood behind Qi Ning with her head down, Qi Ning said to the palace maid: "What's wrong?" ”

"The emperor is worried that the Hou Ye is lost in the palace, so he sent slaves and maids to look for him."

Qi Ning said "um", and walked back the same way, Chi Danmei followed by him, and the palace maid quickly followed, at this time, Qi Ning had no chance to talk to Chi Danmei, and he regretted it a little in his heart, secretly thinking that he only cared about talking just now, and forgot to let Chi Danmei show his true face for himself to see.

It's just that I don't know if Chi Danmei is wearing a human skin-mask or another disguise technique, I can't help but squint at it, only to see Chi Danmei bowing her head slightly, but the corner of her eyes is also glancing at herself, her beautiful eyes are charming and seductive, looking at each other, Qi Ning's heart jumps, Chi Danmei is charming, and she is also charming and smiling.

When she arrived at the main hall, Chi Danmei couldn't continue to go in, and stayed outside, Qi Ning was a little reluctant, but it was not easy to stop, she glanced at Chi Danmei, and then went in, inside Longtai was talking to the queen, and when she saw Qi Ning coming in, Longtai had already smiled and said: "You have been in a long time this time, are you confused?" ”

"Your Majesty, the palace is too big, the one who leads the way..... My sister is new to the city, and she is not very familiar with this place, so it is not easy to find a place. Qi Ning smiled and didn't say much.

The queen said with a smile: "Jinyihou, Tianluo paste has been wrapped for you, you can bring it back when you leave the palace." ”

Qi Ning glanced to the side, only to see that the two boxes of Tianluo paste had been wrapped in yellow brocade cloth, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the queen's reward!" ”

Long Tai said: "Jinyihou, I know what happened yesterday. You have upheld the etiquette of the imperial court, and both I and the Empress feel that you are a loyal minister. ”

Qi Ning already understood at this time that today Longtai brought himself to the harem to meet the queen, which should be the queen's meaning.

If she hadn't stepped forward yesterday, the queen was likely to suffer a humiliation, then Sima Yunqiong would not only take the jade chariot into the palace, but even the jade chariot would have to walk in front of the queen, Dongqi is a small country after all, and the Sima family is the minister of Chu State, the prince of Dongqi was not good at turning his face on the spot yesterday, he could only endure it, and fortunately he came forward to speak up, which made the queen enter the palace in a glorious manner.

The queen naturally knew this, and she must be grateful for what Qi Ning did yesterday, so Longtai personally led Qi Ning to the harem to express her gratitude.

Qi Ning thanked him again, and Longtai also knew that a foreign minister would not stay in the harem for a long time, so he ordered: "Jinyi can retire first, and the Criminal Department will hurry over to take up his post, don't delay the errand, and I will send the will to the Criminal Department when I turn around." ”

Qi Ning bowed and said yes, only then did he take the Tianluo paste rewarded by the queen and retreated, knowing that the emperor's newlywed Yan'er was the time for warmth to linger, and the etiquette system of the imperial court, the emperor could ignore the government within three days, and the little emperor felt the tenderness of the queen, and he was afraid that he would have to stay in this Fengyi Palace for the past two days.

A palace maid led Qi Ning out of Fengyi Palace, Qi Ning quietly observed the surroundings, and found that Chi Danmei had disappeared, and she was so puzzled, she really didn't know what Chi Danmei ran to the palace to find.

Today's trip to the palace can be regarded as a great gain, not only won the queen's reward, but also won the position of the secretary of the criminal department.

Qi Ning knew that in terms of experience and qualifications, he was only afraid that he would not even be qualified as the head of the Criminal Department, and it was really due to the situation in the imperial court, so Long Tai pulled himself to the position of the Secretary of the Criminal Department, and suspected in his heart that he was likely to be the youngest Secretary of the Criminal Department throughout the ages.

When I returned to the Hou Mansion, I couldn't see Gu Qinghan for a while, and went to my yard along the path, and suddenly heard a voice from behind the flowerbed on the side, and I was suspicious, so I quietly approached the past and looked behind the flowerbed, and saw a maid sitting on a stone, holding a paper bag in her hand, in front of the maid, sitting on the ground alone, unkempt hair, but it was the black monster.

The black monster man has been in the Hou Mansion for a long time, but Qi Ning has not spent much time in the mansion, and in comparison, the ugly man has spent more time in the mansion than Qi Ning.

Qi Ning glanced at the maid, but he also recognized that the maid was Su Lan.

Qi Ning also vaguely knew that this black monster had a strange temper, and occasionally made the Hou Mansion a mess, except for himself, he didn't listen to others, but he was the only one who bowed down to this Su Lan.

At this time, when he saw the scene in front of him, Su Lan was sitting on the stone, under the sun, and was taking out the pastries from the paper bag and sending them to the strange man's mouth, the strange man was sitting honestly in front of Su Lan, like a child, Su Lan's pastries were delivered, he opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp, like a couple in love.

However, Qi Ning knew that this Su Lan just felt pity for this strange man in his heart, so he took care of it, although Su Lan was not a stunning beauty, but she also had six or seven pink appearances, from the appearance of it, Su Lan and the ugly man were too far apart, just like a beauty and a beast, if it was possible to say that an ugly man liked Su Lan, but if Su Lan liked an ugly man, it was really a little incredible.

"Slow down, don't rush." Su Lan has a gentle temperament and a soft voice: "This is what the third lady rewarded me, I left it for you, you eat slowly, no one robs you." He smiled lightly, took a handkerchief, and gently wiped the corners of the ugly man's mouth.

The ugly man swallowed while staring at Su Lanhan and smiled, but he was also very obedient.

The previous strange man fought in the Hou Mansion because of Su Lan, which also let Qi Ning know that this strange man is not only fast, but also not weak in martial arts, although he has no internal strength, but he is born with divine power, and can quickly learn the opponent's tricks, and then use his way to return the other's body, this talent alone is already terrifying.

According to the judgment of Li Tang and others, this strange man was very likely to practice a brilliant martial arts, but because he went crazy, he became what he is now, and it has always been a mystery whether this person was good or evil in the past, and where he came from.

Qi Ning looked at the strange man's obedient appearance, and couldn't help but think that if this strange man was a traitor in the past, it would be better to be like now, without worrying about food and clothing in the Hou Mansion, and he would not have any ambitions, let alone hurt others, which is not a bad thing.

The masters on the rivers and lakes are like clouds, some people fall into madness because of the madness, forget everything in the past, and become stupid and stupid, this is not without precedent, like such a person, in the past, may not be concerned by many people, and now it has disappeared for a long time, I am afraid that no one will be nostalgic anymore.

Under the sun, looking at the two people in front of him, Qi Ning thought that at least for this moment, these two people should be happy, and Qi Ning never interrupted the pleasure of others, and stepped back lightly.

Back in the house, opened the package, there were two delicate boxes inside, Qi Ning carefully opened a box, there was a small round porcelain jar inside, open the lid, a light fragrance emanated from it, Qi Ning looked inside, sure enough, it was a grease-like thing, he didn't have much interest in this, closed the lid.

The queen gave two boxes of Tianluo ointment, which are suitable for female dependents, although there are many female dependents in this Hou Mansion, but only Gu Qinghan and Tang Nuo can make Qi Ning give gifts.

However, Qi Ningfa pays attention to Gu Qinghan on weekdays, but Tang Nuo never seems to have dressed up, he is always simple and delicate, and Tang Nuo is proficient in pharmacology, but he doesn't know if he can look down on this Tianluo ointment, Tianluo ointment is very valuable in the eyes of others, but it may not be worth mentioning in Tang Nuo's eyes.

Qi Ning thought for a while, rewrapped one of the boxes and put it away, picked up the other delicate box, went out, and went straight to Gu Qinghan's courtyard.

Because they realized that there might be someone in the mansion monitoring their whereabouts and Gu Qinghan's whereabouts, Qi Ning and Gu Qinghan were careful, but today there was Tianluo paste from the queen, which was given to Gu Qinghan in the past, and this reason was genuine, and it would not make people too suspicious.

When Gu Qinghan was eating in the morning, he fled, and when he thought of the panicked appearance of the beautiful young woman, Qi Ning wanted to laugh in his heart.

The car was familiar with the road to Gu Qinghan's courtyard, Gu Qinghan's personal maid Bingqiao was pruning flowers and branches in the courtyard, and when she saw Qi Ning coming in, she was about to speak, Qi Ning raised her hand to signal Bingqiao not to make a movement, Bingqiao nodded obediently, and pointed to a room on the side, Qi Ning smiled slightly, and then approached.

Gu Qinghan is the third lady of the Hou Mansion, and the hospital is naturally very spacious, but the room that Bing Qiao knows is Gu Qinghan's study.

Gu Qinghan was born in a gentry family, she has also read books since she was a child, she is literate and hyphenated, and she has also set up a special study room in her courtyard, but there are not many books, mainly some account lists of the Hou Mansion, and the list of the Hou Mansion account room is also prepared on Gu Qinghan's side, and when the accounts are reconciled every month, there are bills on both sides to check.

The door of the study was open, Qi Ning walked over lightly, but saw Gu Qinghan standing on the edge of a desk, holding a pen in her hand, concentrating on drawing something on the paper, she turned her back to Qi Ning's side, the beautiful back lines were smooth, Qi Ning entered the study with light feet, but Gu Qinghan didn't notice it.

Qi Ning walked lightly behind Gu Qinghan, there was a window in front of the desk, two golden silk Bodhi trees were planted behind the window, and there were vines growing in the corner of the wall, full of greenery, Qi Ning glanced at the paper, only to find that Gu Qinghan was painting against the window at this time, and what he painted was the golden silk Bodhi tree behind.

Qi Ning took a closer look, Gu Qinghan's brushwork was smooth, and although the paintings he painted could not be compared with famous artists, he also painted very expressively.

Gu Qinghan was intoxicated, and never noticed that Qi Ning was standing behind him, Qi Ning didn't make a sound, quietly watched her paint, and after a while, Gu Qinghan put the brush on the inkstone, and blew a few mouthfuls of fragrance on the painting, then carefully picked it up with both hands, faced the window, tilted his head slightly, and looked at his painting, which seemed quite satisfied.

"Sanniang is not only good at the piano, but also so expressive in painting." Qi Ning couldn't help but admire: "Sure enough, she is the first talented woman in the Jinyi Marquis Mansion." ”

Gu Qinghan was taken aback by this sudden voice, "oops", turned around, and then quickly took two steps back, and when he saw clearly that it was Qi Ning, he patted his chest and blamed: "Why don't you talk when you come in?" Are you going to scare people to death? "I was so frightened that my chest trembled.

"I see Sanniang painting here, and I don't dare to disturb it, for fear of disturbing Sanniang." Qi Ning put the Tianluo paste in his hand on the table: "Sanniang, show me." Reaching out to ask for a painting, Gu Qinghan put the painting in his hand behind him and said, "If I don't show it to you, you're scared to death." ”

Qi Ning laughed, Gu Qinghan looked at the box on the table, frowned, and said, "What is it?" ”

"It's the queen's reward for Tianluo anointment." Qi Ning said: "The gift brought by the queen from Dongqi, specially for women, I heard that it is very precious, smeared on the lips, not only can it be young and beautiful, but also has a strange fragrance, I can't use it myself, I can only honor Sanniang." ”

Gu Qinghan glanced at Qi Ning and said, "If you don't need it, just stay here." Glancing outside, he didn't dare to get close to Qi Ning, bit his lip, and when he saw Qi Ning staring at him, he coughed deliberately and said, "It's good to put things down, you can go quickly." ”

Qi Ning shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just sent a gift to Sanniang, and Sanniang will drive me away?" ”

"What are you doing here if you don't leave? Gu Qinghan said angrily: "If it's okay, go back and read a few more books." ”

Qi Ning smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled over a piece of white paper, rolled up his sleeves again, lifted the paintbrush, Gu Qinghan's beautiful eyes widened, and he said strangely: "What are you doing?" ”

"Draw!" Qi Ning laughed, picked up the pen and painted on the paper, Gu Qinghan was very surprised, she had never seen Qi Ning draw, thinking about when this kid would be able to draw again, she was suspicious, and couldn't help but get closer, but Qi Ning had already drawn out on the paper, Gu Qinghan saw that his pen action was not disciplined at all, and he was amused, but he still stood on the side with great interest.

Qi Ning is not good at painting, but in his previous life, he has not never touched it, and he can understand a little bit about the shallow paintings, and after a while, he drew a general outline of the human body, Gu Qinghan looked at the outline of a woman, and the body line was concave and convex, although the painting was not delicate at all, but it was possible to roughly outline the outline of the body, but the lines of both the chest and the buttocks were very exaggerated.

"Who are you drawing?" Gu Qinghan was a little curious and couldn't help but ask.

Qi Ning glanced at her and said with a smile: "Who else, Sanniang, this figure is not like you?" ”

Gu Qinghan was stunned for a moment, but at this time he looked more carefully, and found that the woman's outline was very exaggerated, her face was red, she reached out to pull it, and said angrily: "You..... You are not allowed to draw, who made you draw like this.......! Thinking that he was such an exaggerated figure in Qi Ning's eyes, he felt more and more hot on his face.

Gu Qinghan snatched it and was about to tear it up, but suddenly felt that Qi Ning was silent, a little strange, glanced at him, but saw Qi Ning staring at the Bodhi tree outside the back window in a daze, Gu Qinghan was even more strange, couldn't help but gently pushed Qi Ning's arm, and asked softly: "Ning'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qi Ning slowly turned his head, looked at Gu Tianhan, but his expression was very serious, and asked in a low voice: "Sanniang, I suddenly remembered something and felt very strange. ”

"What's the matter?"

Qi Ning looked around, and then lowered his voice and said, "You said that what appeared in the Buddha Hall that night was a bull-headed horse face, right?" ”

Gu Qinghan's face changed slightly, and he also looked around, before he lowered his voice and said, "What are you doing at this time?" ”

"Why is it bull and horse noodles?" Qi Ning frowned, thoughtfully, and said in a low voice: "If they want to hide their true faces, they can choose a light mask at random, why do they pretend to be ghosts, they have to pretend to be bull-headed and horse-faced....... He pulled a new piece of paper, took a pen and sketched on the paper, and soon drew a simple bull's head, and then gently put down the pen and stared at the bull's head on the paper without blinking.

"Ning'er, you...... What do you think of? Gu Qinghan asked in a low voice, and couldn't help but get close to Qi Ning's side, and also looked at the picture: "Do you think there is a reason why they are pretending to be bulls and horses?" ”

"It must be." Qi Ning said softly: "The bull-headed horse face is the soul envoy of hell, and the living are very taboo about it, but they just pretend to be the bull-headed horse mask, of course there is something strange about this, and there must be some reason for it." He put his hand on his forehead, closed his eyes slightly, and said to himself, "What could it be?" ”
