Chapter 172: Two Fates

About a stick of incense, the hall came from the sound of the copper hammer striking the copper chime, seven sounds for a single, His Majesty has something to call Huang Jin.

Huang Jin nodded at Qin Fu and said, "Let's go first and have a look, and then pass it on my behalf." ”

Qin Fu arched his hand: "I have Lao Huang's company." ”

The little eunuch outside the hall door pushed open the door, Huang Jin walked in the door, incense wafted in the air, only to hear Zhu Houxi say slowly: "Has Xia Yan been here today?" ”

Huang Jin stepped forward and saw Zhu Houxi sitting cross-legged in front of a picture scroll of fairy wind bones.

Zhu Houxi's eyes were slightly closed, his body was motionless, and after asking this sentence, his lips were still trembling slightly, and he didn't know what scripture he was reading.

Huang Jin was slightly stunned, and replied in his unique tone of tone of tone and frustration: "Today, the beamless hall of the West Garden is completed, Xia Shoufu personally went to the West Garden to check, and he may not return to the city until the next day." ”

The completion of the beamless hall is also a happy event.

Zhu Houxi smiled.

Taking advantage of Zhu Houxi's smile, Huang Jin replied: "The celebrant is in charge of the seal of Father-in-law Qin, and he asks to see His Majesty outside the palace. ”

"Yes." Zhu Houxi opened his eyes, Huang Jin hurriedly stepped forward to help him, supporting Huang Jin, Zhu Houxi stood up. He rolled his eyes and said, "Let him come in and talk back." ”

"Yes." Huang Jin responded neatly and went out to pass.

After a while, Qin Fu took Chen Hong into the door, and both of them knelt down to Zhu Houxi with beaming smiles.

Qin Fu knelt on the ground and said with a smile: "Long live the great joy, Lord Zhao has sent twenty beautiful girls from Shanxi Province to the palace. ”

Zhu Houxi smiled again, and said slowly: "Use the Blue Immortal's Dan Fang to cleanse their bodies." Huang Ban, you go and take a look, choose ten to send them to Zhongcui Palace, leave ten to stay in the side hall, and let Wang Ning concubine educate them in etiquette. ”

Those who go to Zhongcui Palace are kept to serve the emperor, and those who stay in the side hall are widowed without breaking their daughters.

This widow is not broken for the rest of his life, he is only allowed to eat mulberry leaves and drink dew, and he will donate his menstrual blood every month during his menstrual period to make pills for Zhu Houxi to eat.

And Wang Ningfei, who was originally just a play, was fortunate to be visited by Zhu Houxi because of her beautiful voice, and it was precisely because of Wang Ningfei's good voice that Zhu Houyu suddenly thought of sending her to the prayer ceremony set up by the Blue Road to read and recite green words.

At the beginning, Wang Ningfei was really beautiful, but when Concubine Cao Duan entered the palace, Zhu Houxi became obsessed with this newcomer who was good at dancing.

Although Wang Ningfei fell out of favor, she was unexpectedly pregnant, and Zhu Houxi's heirs were thin, and she was very happy to hear about it. and took Wang Ningfei back to live in the side hall, how could Wang Ningconcubine be born weak and couldn't sit still, so she was raised for six months, but she still had a miscarriage.

She was afraid that she would fall out of favor again, and she was jealous of Concubine Cao Duan's favor, so she framed Concubine Cao Duanfei for poisoning her food. Zhu Houxi's pampering of women is not eyeless, he was very annoyed by what Wang Ning Concubine did, and demoted her to the Shangyi supervisor as a sewing palace maid, and sometimes served as the ceremonial grandmother of the new palace show girl.

Hearing that Zhu Houxi mentioned Wang Ningfei, several officials present were in a reverie.

Huang Jin knew that Zhu Houxi remembered that Wang Ningconcubine had conceived a dragon seed for him again, and he was embarrassed to say it, so he could only find an opportunity to let His Majesty naturally see Wang Ningconcubine.

He arched his hand and replied, "Yes, long live, the slave and maid understand." ”

Zhu Houxi's face was pale, and he waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”

"Yes." The three of them replied in unison, bowing out the door.

The sound of the door closing of the hall echoed in the empty hall, Zhu Houxi sat cross-legged on the futon, staring at the high Taishang Daojun with his eyes, and said reverently: "In the winter of March, Daming has always had no snow, I am very bowed, and my body is very tired. The Tao is learned by the heart, and the heart is spread by false incense. Incense burning jade furnace, in front of the emperor. The true spirit is looking forward to it, and the immortal is coming to Xuan. The order was closed by the ministers, and the path lasted for nine days. ”

......

Zhou Songzhi watched Huang Jin and his party go towards Zhongcui Palace, and summoned the brocade-clothed guards on the side.

Lux stepped forward and lowered his head and asked, "Zhou Yanshi." ”

Zhou Songzhi lowered his eyes slightly and thought about it, and said: "You go for a trip, go to the noon gate and take a look quietly, whether Gao Zongqi is on duty today, if he is on duty, please ask him to wait outside the palace gate at midnight." ”

Lux smiled and said, "Zhou Yishi asked Gao Zongqi to go to the red sleeves with him, and saw the envious fairy girl?" ”

Zhou Songzhi said with a smile: "Envy the name of the fairy girl, even you kid have heard of it?" ”

"That's it." Lux smiled: "In the whole capital, who doesn't know who doesn't know, the leading Oiran Jin Xian fairy girl with red sleeves?" Although the villain has not seen it with his own eyes, he expects that the envy fairy girl must be very different from those little girls in the Eight Hutongs, otherwise... Hehe, how could Zhou Yishi and Gao Zongqi go to the red sleeves to guard as soon as they are free? Look at the name of the person, envy the immortal, envy the immortal, it sounds like a word, Ya! ”

Before Zhou Songzhi and Gao Nu became officials, they were both famous people inside and outside the capital. Now, although the official voice has been reined in, but in the end it can't change this romantic temperament, since the red sleeves recruited such a beauty a month ago, somehow, it suddenly became popular in the capital.

There is such a beautiful woman at hand, how can these two people hold it?

The two of them stayed in the red sleeves for a month, and only listened to Jin Xianxian's pipa through the curtain, just such a song, which is enough to make people unforgettable.

At this point, the two of them are even more like chickens and blood.

It's just that today, Zhou Songzhi's appointment was angry, but it was not for Jin Xianxian, but according to the entrustment of Gao Anger, he wanted to tell the new show girl in the inner court.

"Alright, alright." Zhou Songzhi said: "It's just right, don't let people see it, go quickly." ”

"Yes, sir." Lux laughed and turned away.

Let's say that Huang Jin came to the inner court, and the twenty new show girls stood there obediently. Huang Jin is also unwilling to do such a dehumanizing thing, he has lived in the deep palace for many years, he knows too well what the future of these girls will be, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, he looked carefully, and pointed to the three of them.

"You, you, you, go to Zhongcui Palace."

These three people are the most prominent among the twenty show girls, and it is easy to choose.

He folded his hands, naturally placed them on his lower abdomen, and slowly stepped forward to take a closer look. Four or five more people were selected to go to the Zhongcui Palace.

At this time, the show girls who were still in place were a little anxious, how could they not have heard of His Majesty's use of virgin menstrual blood to make pills.

If you are left behind... Endless loneliness, hungry food, that is to bury your whole life in the deep palace, never to come out again!

They shivered, their hands clenched into each other's hands, and before they knew it, their backs were soaked with sweat in this season that was so cold that it made the bones windy.

Those who stayed stayed stayed after all, and those who wanted to leave had to leave after all. Ten flower-like maidens watched as the other ten girls stood outside the palace gate together.

An internal official raised his voice and shouted, "Clean! As the voice fell, the door of the temple slammed shut, cutting off the two worlds.
