Chapter 9: Falling Red
Before the east showed the white of the fish's belly, the two grandmothers waited in the inner hall with more than a dozen palace maids, respectfully asking the emperor and queen to get up. Getting up early was a common occurrence for Ling Yuexi, she jumped up, quickly woke up Xiao Sujin, and ordered in a deep voice: "You guys retreat first and wait for the call!" ”
The palace maids were puzzled and looked at Mama.
Mama waved her hand and motioned for them all to go down, and she also retreated to the door of the outer hall and waited.
Xiao Sujin watched in amazement as Ling Yuexi spread out the white cloth, and was about to cut her wrist after taking the dagger, and suddenly realized.
"Your Majesty?"
Xiao Sujin quickly slashed his wrist in one step at Ling Yuexi, dripping bright red blood.
His gray lips squirmed: "This kind of thing is what a man should do!" ”
The tone was pertinent, her eyes were firm, Ling Yuexi's heart was moved, she said thank you lightly, then pulled a cloth belt and gently bandaged Xiao Sujin's wound.
In order to avoid being discovered by the palace maids, Ling Yuexi decided to personally serve the emperor and dress. However, the ancient court clothes were always cumbersome, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the bridge of Ling Yuexi's upturned nose.
In front of Xiao Sujin's nose, there was a faint fragrance, and as long as he lowered his head, he could touch her smooth forehead.
'Ling Yuexi, who are you, why do you even know about this kind of cave house falling red? ’
Yuexi, is it really you?
Xiao Sujin's mind surged, like a dark tide.
Ling Yueming and General Shi Yuan were already waiting outside the palace gate. He looked at Ling Yuexi in a pink dress from a distance, and didn't dare to meet her eyes.
On the dragon chariot, Xiao Sujin stretched out his hand to Ling Yuexi.
Ling Yuexi glanced at the phoenix chariot placed on the right, and whispered to Xiao Sujin: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness, concubine, now that the envoy from Northern Xinjiang is still there, how can you abolish etiquette because of favor." ”
Xiao Sujin's heart was cold, and he withdrew his hand and said softly, "What the queen said is true." ”
He smiled and watched Ling Yuexi get on the phoenix with the support of the palace people, and his mind was gloomy. At this critical moment, he hopes that the queen is just an ordinary woman who loves herself to the bone, as long as she is gentle and regards him as heaven. Because, he found that he couldn't get into Ling Yuexi's heart at all, let alone understand her heart.
A person pondered all the way, and a person looked at the heaven and earth within the palace walls, and in less than half an hour, he arrived at Cihe Palace.
A thick carpet, painted with auspicious clouds, covers the entire vestibule. The intricately carved beams and pillars are plated with dazzling gold, except for the carvings of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing on the front wall, the rest are decorated with good mahogany. There are a few pots of white flowers on the table next to the windowsill, which are special in shape, and there is no trace of green leaves. The smoke in the incense burner is curling, mixed with the strange fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel calm for no reason.
Under the wall carving of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, there is a soft couch, and the maids on both sides dance lightly the banana fan in their hands.
The young Queen Mother sits here.
A light cyan robe, embroidered with the pattern of the phoenix dance for nine days, is commensurate with the phoenix crown on the head, the phoenix eyes are slanted, and the awe-inspiring gaze gives people a sense of intimidation. And on the lower left of her, there is a regent in a black python robe - Xiao Mojue! This discovery made Ling Yuexi secretly surprised in her heart, why, could it be that a regent still had to accept her salute as the queen of the Heavenly Dynasty?
"The sons and daughters visit the queen mother, and I wish the queen mother good health!"
"The sons and daughters visit the queen mother, and wish the queen mother good health and eternal youth."
The two of them spoke in unison, but Ling Yuexi had one more greeting, presumably a woman likes to listen to this, and sure enough, the Queen Mother's eyes eased.
