Chapter 59: The Silkworm Treasure (2)

After Jing Xuan took over this soft armor, because he didn't know what it was made of, he curiously tried its toughness with the family heirloom Qingfeng Sword. After a try, Jing Xuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the Qingfeng Sword was already a blade as sharp as clay, but when it came to this soft armor, it was like a wooden sword in the hands of an ordinary child. Whether it's a stab or a split, let alone pierce it, after a stab, even a trace can't be seen on this soft armor. Jing Xuan realized that it was indeed a rare treasure.

If it weren't for Liu Yi returning to the battlefield tomorrow, how could Jing Xuan be willing to give this soft armor to others?

"Silkworm Clothes!"

Rao is a well-informed person like Liu Yi, and when he saw the soft armor in the package, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Niangniang, who gave this thing? Such a rare treasure, Liu did not dare to accept it. Without a trace of hesitation, Liu Yi directly returned the package to Jing Xuan.

Although Jing Xuan had tried it with his own hands and knew that this was a treasure, he didn't know much about it, and seeing that Liu Yi refused simply and decisively, he asked in surprise: "This is brought into the palace by Yu Chengen, the envoy of the Divine Crane Army, not long ago. Does the gentleman recognize this? ”

Liu Yi was secretly surprised, Yu Chengen has been the companion of the first emperor since he was a child, and Liu Yi is very familiar with his personality and temperament. On the surface, this person is quite able to do what the emperor likes, elegant and studious, and likes to associate with literary people, but in fact, he has a ravine, can see the wind and rudder, opportunistic drilling, and is vicious, resolute, and is the only powerful character among today's eunuchs who can match Li Jinzhong.

"Have you ever heard of such a thing as a silkworm? It grows in the snowy mountains and is now nearly extinct. If a piece of silk is used as a rope, it is enough to strangle a vicious wolf, which shows its tenacity. After such a pair of soft armor is woven, I am afraid that it will cost thousands of heavenly silk. If you talk about its rarity, even if it is the He's bi that made the heirloom jade seal back then, it is difficult to compare with it. ”

Liu Yi introduced the origin of the silkworm clothes to Jing Xuan, and at the same time wondered in his heart: What is the plot behind this Yu Chengen wanting to cling to Jing Xuan so bloodlessly? Could it be that the identity, status, and power of the military envoy who was the same as the marshal still could not satisfy him?

Jing Xuan didn't expect that this pair of soft armor that Liu Yi called the silkworm cloak was so rare and precious, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, thinking about whether to find an opportunity to return it to Yu Chengen.

Liu Mou advised Niangniang to say a word: no merit is not punished, no cause is no effect. Please think again. ”

It seemed that Liu Yi's earnest voice was heard in his ears again, and it was exactly the same as what he thought in his heart.

"Boom".

Another burst of thunder rolled through the sky, Jing Xuan's two eyelids jumped sharply, and he woke up suddenly, only to find that he had just taken a nap unconsciously.

"Jinping."

Xueyan was a little hot last night, and Jing Xuan was worried about sending Jinping to the Imperial Medical Department early this morning and asking a doctor to take a look.

But after a few calls in succession, but there was no figure in Jinping, Jing Xuan got up from the bed, walked to the door of the dormitory, raised his voice and shouted: "Who is on duty outside?" Go and call Jinping to come and talk back. ”

Since she married into the East Palace and lived in Qixia Pavilion, she followed her maid Cailuan to run over, and said to Jing Xuan with a somewhat flustered expression: "Sister Jinping heard that something happened to the 'Wild Fox Fall' last night, so she got up early in the morning and left in a hurry. If the mother has any instructions, please send the maid to do it. ”

Over the years, Jinping's affection for Lai Xing'er can be seen by anyone. At first, he felt sorry for Jinping because Xing'er was a eunuch, and saw that Jinping was growing up day by day, and he also secretly asked someone to find a suitable husband for her outside the palace.

Helplessly, Jinping is similar to herself, once she has someone in her heart, no matter how good the man next to her is, she can't get into her eyes. She rejected Jing Xuan's kindness to marry herself out of the palace by taking the opportunity of cleaning up the palace affairs, and she was full of satisfaction and had a hot fight with a little eunuch in Laixing'er.

For all the palace people in the Daming Palace, there are no more than three ways out for good development in the future: the best result is to catch up with the good time for the emperor to release the palace people, be released from the palace, marry a good family, teach husband and children, and enjoy the rest of his life; Moreover, in the eyes of most people, the palace people can be favored by the emperor overnight, and they are lucky to be pregnant with the dragon species, and since then they have been freed from slavery and become among the ranks of concubines, even if they are the ancestors and their own blessings; Taking a step back, there are thousands of women and one husband in the harem, for the vast majority of palace people who are not favored, it is also a good way out to be able to be promoted by the master and mother, and enter the rank and become a female official in the inner division of the Shanggong and Shangyi.

Jing Xuan himself was still ordered to marry the crown prince of the year, and now the emperor, Jinping who is unwilling to be a sister with him in his heart, chooses the second way. Therefore, some time ago, taking advantage of the emperor's visit to Baoxiang Palace, Jing Xuan proposed to promote Jinping as a female official. The emperor didn't think about it, so he asked Jinping to serve as the head of the Shanggong Bureau.

The Shanggong Bureau is the head of the six bureaus of the internal division, and the department is also an important position in charge of auditing the palace people. The emperor handed over such an important position to the people around Jing Xuan, which undoubtedly clearly showed Jing Xuan's position as the first among the harem concubines.

Now although Lai Xing'er has exposed his identity as an imposter eunuch and has become a forbidden soldier, Jing Xuan is keenly aware of the emperor's move to send him to the "Wild Fox Fall" to guard the tomb, and Lai Xing'er's troubles are far from over.

Jinping has to find an excuse to leave the palace every day, even if she doesn't tell Jing Xuanming, everyone in Baoxiang Palace knows that she must be going to "Wild Fox Fall" to visit Lai Xing'er. In this regard, Jing Xuan was a little worried about Jinping.

"You go to the Imperial Doctor's Office and ask a Imperial Doctor to come and see the princess."

After Jing Xuan gave instructions to Cailuan, he was about to turn around and enter the palace, when Zhu Shuang, the eunuch in charge of the Baoxiang Palace behind him, ran in from outside the palace gate and reported: "Lord Shang Jingshang, who is always in the house, said that he was waiting outside the palace gate for the emperor's order. ”

"He's coming early."

Jing Xuan muttered, and without saying whether to call in or not, he entered the dormitory alone.

The emperor's grace was not given in vain.

On the day of the 100-day festival of the first emperor, Dianmo showed the emperor the edict of the first emperor to save Zhang's life, and then died by touching the pillar, fulfilling her promise to be martyred for the first emperor. Although the emperor did not express his attitude at that time, he vented his anger on Lai Xing'er and successfully diverted his attention. But only Jing Xuan knew in his heart that this matter had left a deep imprint in the emperor's heart.

Jing Xuan was not used to being served and dressed by others for many years, so she walked back to the dormitory, picked up a pale green skirt and pondered the emperor's recent unusual behavior while changing her clothes.

After the emperor returned to Daming Palace from Nannei, he obviously regarded the Baoxiang Palace where she lived as a Yanying Hall to decide court affairs. Although these days, the emperor almost never stepped out of the harem, and spent all day grinding with a few young talents, drinking and having fun, but every morning, he would definitely come to Baoxiang Palace to listen to Shang Jing and others about court affairs and palace affairs.

Since the Baoxiang Palace is located in the inner garden, it is also the palace of the concubine, and it is inconvenient for ordinary ministers to enter and exit. Only a handful of eunuchs such as Shang Jing, Lu Guangting, and Wu Xiaozhong who could enter the Baoxiang Palace to face the emperor were able to play.

What surprised Jing Xuan the most was that Li Jinzhong, the first minister of the dynasty, who was also a eunuch and could enter and leave the harem without hindrance, had never been passed by the emperor once.

Referring to the edict of the former emperor that Mo took out before his death, Jing Xuan was almost certain that the emperor was going to start dealing with him after using Li Jinzhong to uproot the remaining Zhang forces in the palace. (To be continued.) )
