It took nearly an hour and a half, it was nothing more than Rong Jiao's superficial questioning about the situation of the talents, and then she fought with Fang Jin Qiuming for a while, and the concubines also flattered a lot of time, and the precious time was wasted.
"It's not too early at this hour, and the palace is also lacking, so my sisters will go back first." Rong Jiao rubbed her temples, pretending to be tired, waved her hand, signaled everyone to retreat, and left with the support of the palace people.
"Congratulations to the Queen." The concubines knelt down, saluted, and left the Changqing Palace one after another.
Xue Wanqing left late. As soon as he stepped out of the gate of Changqing Palace, a female voice came from behind him: "Sister Xue." ”
The voice was as gentle as water, it sounded very clean and thorough, which made Xue Wanqing involuntarily stop and turn her head.
A woman is walking towards her, the woman has a national color, phoenix eyes are half-bent and amber, and her lips are cherry points. The head of the moth eyebrows, bright eyes and bright teeth, beautiful as a crown of jade, square demeanor, temperament out of the world, very comfortable. "There is a beautiful person, Qingyang and graceful......" Xue Wanqing was stunned and muttered.
"This is ......" Xue Wanqing twisted her head slightly towards Qiao Lan, but her eyes hadn't left the woman.
Qiao Lan replied in Xue Wanqing's ear: "This is Mu Meiren, a single name and a Yao character, Chang He entered the palace in the fifty-ninth year, and is the daughter of a small official. In the harem, only this wood beauty is not showy and gentle and lovely. "Changhe is the name of the era, and this year is the 60th anniversary of Changhe.
Seeing that Mu Yao was getting closer and closer to her, Xue Wanqing hurriedly saluted: "See Mu Meiren." ”
"Sister, hurry up." Mu Yao smiled and helped Xue Wanqing up, and there was no beauty at all.
"I don't know what the beauty is looking for?" Xue Wanqing asked.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I hit it off with my sister at first sight. I don't know if my sister would like to come to my Xueqiong Palace to have a good tea? Mu Yao asked with a smile.
"Okay." Intuition told Xue Wanqing that this wooden beauty was harmless to herself, and she had one more friend in the palace, so why not?
Xue Qiong Palace is full of orchids, and the fragrance is overflowing, making Xue Wanqing feel that everything here is soft. This faint orchid fragrance is also in line with the orchid-like temperament of Mu Meiren.
Inside Xueqiong Palace.
"This is the Yunjin tea that the emperor rewarded when I entered the palace, sweet and not greasy, I believe my sister will like it." Mu Yao said as he motioned to the palace maid to serve the tea.
Xue Wanqing picked up the teacup and took a sip, and sure enough, it was indeed sweet and sweet, which met Xue Wanqing's appetite.
"The beauty's Yunjin tea is indeed delicious, and it is the luck of the concubine to be able to taste such a delicious taste." Xue Wanqing put down the teacup and said sincerely.
Mu Yao motioned to the palace maid to pour tea for Xue Wanqing, and said: "This Yunjin tea is not as rich as other teas, and many concubines in the palace don't like this too light taste." I thought that I could only taste tea alone in this life, but I was really happy to find my sister to taste this Yunjin tea together. ”
Mu Yao took a sip of tea and continued, "My sister doesn't have to be so restrained, just call my sister." In this palace, only my sister and I are the same kind of people, which is also the reason why I invited my sister to taste tea. ”
"Sister Mu can still have such a heart in this deceitful deep palace, Wanqing really admires it." Xue Wanqing picked up the teacup again and drank the tea - it was so delicious!
"What's the use of fighting around? The emperor never cares about this harem matter......"
After talking to Mu Meiren, more than an hour passed. When I returned to Yunyi Pavilion, it was already afternoon.
The weather turned cloudy, the wind gradually blew, and the dark clouds thickened.
"Talented, I'm afraid it's going to rain this day." Qiao Lan is covering the quilt for Xue Wanqing. As soon as Xue Wanqing came back, she said that she was tired, no, she was planning to sleep again.
Today, I went to ask for peace in plain clothes, and I was going not to be a bird, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating, which was really careless. Xue Wanqing thought to herself.
Xue Wanqing suddenly thought of Mu Meiren's words and asked, "Qiaolan, why doesn't this emperor have an heir?" ”
Qiao Lan lowered her voice and said: "The emperor is not close to women, and he has never been to this harem, let alone spoiled the concubines of the harem." "Qiao Lan has been in the palace for two years, and she knows some things.
Xue Wanqing suddenly became a little interested in this emperor, and continued to ask: "Qiaolan, you must know a lot about the emperor, tell me about it." ”
Qiao Lan looked at Xue Wanqing's begging little eyes, and agreed.
This is the Shaowu Continent, there are three kingdoms, namely Yinlong, Tianqi and Haoxi, among which Yinlong's national strength is the strongest. In the fifty-seventh year of Changhe, Long Yichen, the third prince who was only eighteen years old, ascended the throne and became the emperor.
Although Long Yichen's throne has been sitting for nearly four years, it seems that he has not yet sat firmly. The eldest prince Long Yibai was young and disabled, and he had already withdrawn from the battle for the throne and played a flute in the house all day long.
The second prince, Xuan Wang Long Yixuan has been watching the throne for a long time, and it is no secret that everyone in this court knows it. In the past few years, Long Yixuan's power has continued to increase, and he should not be underestimated, barely an opponent.
The fourth prince, Yiwang Long Moxiao is an idle prince, saying that he only wants to see the mountains and rivers and appreciate the bright moon, and he does not want to be bound to a high position and work hard.
The concubines in this harem are actually selected by the queen mother, and the queen mother hopes that these concubines can give birth to dragon heirs for the emperor, but who knows, the emperor is not close to women, and has already left this harem woman behind.
"Talented, it's right that you don't compete for favor, everyone in this palace knows that the emperor is brutal by nature and doesn't like women to provoke. The slave maid heard that there was once a concubine who went to the emperor's tea without authorization, and was finally cut off her hands and feet, cut off her tongue and nose, and ended miserably, and was punished by the nine clans. ”
When Xue Wanqing heard this, she was shocked, and she felt a little afraid. It seems that this emperor is a tyrant, so it's better not to provoke him.
"Ahh Xue Wanqing yawned.
"If the talented person is sleepy, go to sleep first, and the slave maid and Qiaoyun will retreat first."
------------------------------------------------------------------
Xue Wanqing was woken up by pain.
Xue Wanqing looked at the injury on her wrist, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. The predecessor committed suicide by cutting his wrists after entering the palace, and now the wound is still there, and it is about to become inflamed.
For the past two days, Xue Wanqing has used bracelets to cover the wounds on her wrists, after all, it will cause trouble if it spreads. There is no wound medicine in this house, I remember that the Compendium of Materia Medica said that peach blossoms can be pounded into peach puree, which can cure injuries. Seemingly...... I can only go to the peach forest for a while.
Xue Wanqing left a note on the table and quietly went out.
Outside the peach forest, a burst of peach fragrance came to her nose, but Xue Wanqing didn't think so much, and hurriedly walked into the peach forest. This peach forest was discovered by her accident, but she didn't expect it to come in handy.
The peach blossoms here are not blooming, but they have such a fragrant fragrance, and it seems that the peach blossoms inside are in full bloom. In order to make the medicine stronger, Xue Wanqing walked into the depths of the peach forest.
A gust of wind whistled along with the sound of weapons clashing, and something that didn't know what flew in front of Xue Wanqing's eyes, deep into the trunk of the tree beside him.
It's a dagger. Xue Wanqing was stunned on the spot, and a magnetic and somewhat hoarse male voice came.
"Who!"
Xue Wanqing turned around tremblingly, and saw a man wearing a purple and gold crown with bundle of hair on his head, and a black brocade robe, on which the shape of a dragon was outlined with golden silk threads. The handsome side face like a knife, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, and there seems to be a cold light in the eyes, which is unfathomable...... A rare beautiful man! Xue Wanqing's breathing was about to stop.
But the man's face was painful, and he kept covering his chest with his hands, and his clothes were stained with blood, and there was still blood at the corner of his mouth, as if he was seriously injured.
Suddenly, Xue Wanqing caught a glimpse of the jade pendant on the man's waist, and her heart was shocked, she knelt down on her legs, and saluted: "Concubine...... Concubine...... Yunyi Pavilion is a talented person of the Xue Clan, and Emperor Xie is in Da'an. ”
