Chapter 6 Xiaoqing

At noon, Ji Ping had lunch at Tang Wan's place and rested with her for a while.

He didn't do anything to the little girl, and with the experience of Emperor Ling's absurdity and unscrupulous and early death, Empress He was very strict with his son, and he was not allowed to have sex with Tang Wan until he was crowned at the age of sixteen.

Of course, Ji Ping is not that kind of perverted animal, his mental age is close to adulthood, even if Tang Wan reaches the age of sixteen, he still feels too young.

In the afternoon, an imperial doctor came to help Tang Wan diagnose her pulse, and Ji Ping asked the imperial doctor, who said that Tang Wan's illness was caused by fright, and there was no major problem.

Fear? There's always a reason.

After the imperial doctor left, Ji Ping asked Tang Wan what was going on, but Tang Wan's already ruddy face suddenly turned pale again, and hugged him tightly, his eyes were full of horror: "Snake, concubine saw such a big snake......"

Snake? Ji Ping was stunned, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "Is it a green snake?" ”

Tang Wan couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen it too?" They all said I was dazzled. ”

Looking at her delicate appearance that she was anxious to recognize, a warmth rose in Ji Ping's heart, and he couldn't help laughing: "If it's that green snake, Wan'er doesn't have to be afraid." ”

He thought for a while, and then said, "Can Wan'er stay?" ”

If Tang Wan's illness was scared out by a snake, it didn't matter, the key was to eliminate the root knot of fear in her heart.

Sure enough, Tang Wan nodded: "Everything else is nothing, it's just that my body is a little soft." ”

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." Ji Ping waved his hand to let the waiting palace maids retreat, and in Tang Wan's curious eyes, he took her out of the dormitory and came to the royal forbidden garden west of the North Palace-West Garden.

At the beginning of the construction of the West Garden, the scale was not large, and it was expanded during the time of the Emperor Ling, expanding from the west wall of the palace, there are too many absurdities of the Emperor Ling, and the time spent here during the lifetime of the Emperor Lingdi was almost all spent here.

In the first year of Guanghe, Liu Wei was two years old, and when he was still in the house of Shi Dao's family, Emperor Ling, at the instigation of the Empress Dowager Dong, opened the West Mansion to sell officials, and those who wanted to be officials had to go to Xiyuan to negotiate the price before they could take office as officials. Cao Song, the father of Cao Cao, who was the great farmer at the time and was in charge of the finances of the outer court, spent 10,000 gold to buy the position of one of the three princes.

Later, Emperor Ling built Wanjin Hall, and stored all the money, pearls, and silk collected by selling officials and lords in the West Garden, so the West Garden is also the place where the wealth in the palace gathers.

In addition, Emperor Ling also built more than 1,000 naked tour halls in the West Garden, repaired canals around the naked tour hall, and let the palace maids from 14 to 18 years old take off their clothes to take a bath.

Huo Xiaoyu hadn't entered the palace at that time, and Wen Luo served him as a prince, of course, not among them, but Liu Wei was still extremely disgusted with Emperor Ling's actions.

What Emperor Ling didn't know was that Xiyuan also had a secret that only Liu Wei knew, otherwise he would never dare to play in Xiyuan.

As a forbidden garden in the palace, the West Garden is in charge of Song Dian, a regular servant who also serves as the hook and shield order. However, it has rained for more than ten days in a row, and Song Dian naturally will not stay here, and it is Song Dian's cronies who are guarding the door, although he has a high status in the palace, how dare he intercept the Son of Heaven.

Ji Ping frowned and reprimanded Song Dian's cronies, and took Tang Wan and Geng Zhong all the way in.

There are mountains and rivers in the West Garden, strange trees are planted all over, elk muntjac is raised, there are hundreds of birds and beasts, and the most special thing is the rockery in the garden. Since the two Han Dynasty, the magnates are extremely enthusiastic about gardening and piling mountains, gather soil for mountains in the West Garden, imitate Shaohua Mountain, stretch for several miles, green bamboo and strange trees are planted all over the rockery, there are pavilions and pavilions, ponds and ponds are everywhere, flowers, birds, insects and fish, as if it is a real Shaohua Mountain.

After entering the garden, Ji Ping did not go to the palace in the garden and the naked tour hall where Emperor Ling often played, but followed a small road, turned around, and arrived in front of a bamboo forest.

He asked Geng Zhong to wait here, and he took Tang Wan along the winding path on the rockery to a small lake full of lotus flowers.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Ji Ping couldn't help but feel relaxed, no wonder the emperors of all dynasties had to build gardens, which could indeed relieve the dull pressure in the palace.

Seeing Tang Wan pulling him tightly, her eyes were full of curiosity, Ji Ping couldn't help but want to scare her by prank, but she was afraid that she would really be scared, so she could only give up after thinking about it, and explained: "Wan'er, that green snake is actually my playmate. ”

"Play...... Playmate? Snake? Tang Wan's eyes widened in astonishment.

"I wonder if Wan'er has heard of a past incident in the palace?" Ji Ping looked at her delicate appearance, couldn't help pinching her little nose, smiled, and said leisurely: "In the second year of Jianning, just twenty years ago, in the Wende Hall of the First Emperor, a big green snake flew down from the beam, rested on the chair, and then disappeared. Everyone was frightened, so they invited Shi Ziyi, a Taoist who was good at controlling snakes, to drive away the green snake. ”

Tang Wan nodded and said, "The concubine also heard from the palace people two days ago. ”

Ji Ping continued: "In fact, Shi Daoren did not drive away this snake, but tamed it, and saw that it had a strange bloodline and was quite spiritual, and he couldn't bear to kill it, so he made it dormant and not frightening. When I was a child, I grew up in the house of Shi Dao, who mentioned it and taught me the art of snake control, and when I returned to the palace, I tamed the snake. ”

Tang Wan said in a daze: "That ......"

Ji Ping took her hand and said softly, "Be careful." ”

With that, he whistled.

The surface of the small lake fluctuated, the lotus leaves shook slightly, and then a green snake with a thick arm jumped out and landed in front of the two, dancing incessantly, obviously quite excited.

"Ahh Tang Wan was like a frightened little rabbit, exclaimed, hugged Ji Ping tightly, buried her head in his chest, and her body couldn't stop trembling.

Suddenly seeing such a big green snake rushing out, Ji Ping couldn't help but be stunned, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching, after all, Liu Wei's memory was completely different from the reality in front of him.

But how could he show his cowardice in front of the little girl, he gently patted Tang Wan's shoulder and smiled: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoqing is my good partner, and it is very docile and will not hurt people." ”

It shouldn't hurt, right? Ji Ping stiffened his scalp, trembled slightly and stretched out his hand, and the green snake quickly swam over, playing under his feet, and hissing from time to time, climbing his legs and climbing up.

Seeing that the green snake was indeed harmless, Ji Ping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was a little more excited.

In my previous life, I didn't have this ability, although this miracle skill may not be of great use.

He suddenly thought maliciously in his heart: "If Dong Zhuo comes, I wonder if this snake suddenly appears and can scare the dog to death." ”

Tang Wan hid in his arms, and couldn't help but secretly look at the green snake, and after a while, he was not so afraid, and his eyes also revealed a little excited.

Ji Ping couldn't help but laugh, it seems that his concubine seems to be gentle, but she is also very funny in her bones. It's no wonder that after all, she is still a little girl, but her nature is suppressed in this palace.

"Although Xiaoqing is a snake, she is much cuter than many people." Ji Ping smiled and said meaningfully.

At this time, his mood also calmed down, so he taught Tang Wan some snake control skills.

Seeing Tang Wan trying to play with the green snake, laughing like a bell, Ji Ping's suppressed mood for the past few days was much more relaxed, and at the same time, he remembered another thing in his mind.

Shi Daoren is proficient in snake control, medicine, especially poison, but also knows some health methods, once passed on to Liu Wei a Taoist self-cultivation method, called the Dragon Sutra, said that after cultivation can improve the physique, prolong life.

It's just that Shi Daoren said that when cultivating this Imperial Dragon Sutra, it is necessary to hold the jade seal of the royal family to the greatest effect, so ordinary people can't cultivate.

For some Taoist health methods, Ji Ping believes, because there are many long-lived Taoists in history, and later generations of Chen Tuan and Zhang Sanfeng, including Zuo Ci and Yu Ji in this period, are all legends, and there is always their secret to longevity.

It's just that he is a little skeptical about the Dragon Sutra that needs to be passed down to the jade seal of the country to cultivate, which sounds a bit outrageous.

Most of the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty were short-lived, perhaps because of their bloodline, only two lived past the age of thirty-six, and most of the rest died in infancy. The physique of his body can only barely be regarded as bad or bad, but if he wants to escape from the palace and live a long life, it is still far from enough.

Out of the West Garden, he sent back Tang Wan, and then went to find He Hou to ask for the jade seal of the country, no matter whether the Dragon Sutra is reliable or not, he always has to try it, jade can raise people, this jade seal of the country is the best in the jade, maybe it is really useful.

The Son of Heaven has six seals, the Emperor's Seal, the Emperor's Seal, the Emperor's Letter Seal, the Son of Heaven's Seal, the Son of Heaven's Seal, and the Son of Heaven's Letter Seal.

The jade seal of the country is not in the six seals, the biggest significance of the jade seal of the country is that it is a symbol of imperial power, and if it is obtained, it is "ordered by the sky", and if it is lost, "the number of qi has been exhausted".

Among the six seals of the Son of Heaven, the seal of the Son of Heaven was worn by the emperor, and the other seals were handed over to Shang Fu Xilang for safekeeping, and the jade seal of the country was also kept by the emperor. But now that He Hou is in the dynasty, it is equivalent to the Son of Heaven, and the jade seal is naturally kept by her.

When He Hou heard that he wanted to pass on the national jade seal, he did not refuse, because the actual edict did not need to pass on the national jade seal, and Ji Ping would not affect the issuance of the edict if he took it.

However, He Hou summoned Taifu Yuan Kui to give him an afternoon of scripture study, and after dinner, Ji Ping returned to the palace with the jade seal of the country.

With last night's incident, Geng Zhong transferred six highly skilled cronies from Huangmen to hide around the palace to protect him.

And Ji Ping never told Empress He about last night's incident, he was afraid that Empress He would take extreme measures to make the dog jump off the wall in a hurry, and he was even more afraid that this mother would take care of the overall situation and let him remain silent, so that he would lose the only trace of hope for maternal love.

In the dormitory, Ji Ping knelt on the seat, opened the red box, and looked at the jade seal of the country, and his heart became excited. In later generations, the jade seal of the country has long been lost, and for him to study history, he has been very yearning for the jade seal of the country.

The jade seal of the country in front of me is about four inches square, the whole body of jade is crystal clear, there is no trace of flaw, there are five royal dragons carved above, circling and winding, the most conspicuous thing is that there is a gap in the corner of the jade seal, and a piece of gold is filled.
