Chapter 19: Woe has been sown

When Mu Changfeng saw Fuyu outside the gate of Jingrui Palace for the first time, he thought she was the child of a court official's family, but he never thought that she was also a princess, and he didn't look at her carefully that day, and after contact, he found that Fuyu was similar to his fate, with a weak appearance, but he was very independent, although he was often bullied by others, but he never saw her complain to her master or her mother, but Qianyu would teach those who bullied her, and when she thought about it, she was almost like this, bullied by them, and ridiculed by them.

Recently, the snow has been very frequent, and the study room in the palace has not been opened by the king's order, and the master has left homework for the princes and princesses, which will be checked in the spring of the next year.

Qianyu has become very lazy recently, she doesn't go out much, she doesn't even touch her favorite shooting, and she doesn't know what's wrong, she doesn't have to go to the study, Fuyu and Mu Changfeng will come to look for her, but she doesn't look very good in spirit, and she is not sick.

Occasionally when he went out, Yan Feng had to pull her out by force, and most of the time he kept her alone in the dormitory, and he ran out to play.

In the thick snow-covered winter, Mu Changfeng, who lives in Zhilan Palace, can be said to have seen what bullying is, in the days when Qianyu and Yan Feng did not come, someone would come to make things difficult for him almost every day, in addition to the prince he had seen in the study, some of them were estimated to be palace ladies in the palace, Mu Changfeng also grew up in the palace, for these, he had long been accustomed to it.

Gongsun Yuting claimed to the outside world that Mu Changfeng was a proton sent to Chu by the Southern Kingdom, and for the others, except for Ouyang Yu, only Ye Qiuke and Nanwang knew that the identity of a proton, of course, some people in the harem would bully him unscrupulously.

After Ye Qiuke left the Chu State, Mu Changfeng was alone in this foreign land, although he rarely accompanied Mu Changfeng when he was there, at least there was such a person by his side, how much peace of mind, Ye Qiuke told a lot before leaving, he told Mu Changfeng to learn to endure, to know how to protect himself, no matter how others treat him, to understand what he should do, as a prince, he must be able to be good at martial arts.

A month has passed in a blink of an eye, Mu Changfeng gradually adapted to the weather of Chu State, and also adapted to the diet of Chu State, the only thing that did not adapt to it was the clothing of Chu State, until now, he still wears the clothes he brought from the southern country, half of the reason why he was bullied is also because of this, when he does not go to the study, Mu Changfeng is more active than anyone else, let the older Yan Feng teach him to learn swordsmanship, go to the shooting range alone, read books at night and see it very late, occasionally go to visit Qianyu, and find that she loves to sleep more and more.

It is the eighth day of the first lunar month of the year again, the Chu country has the custom of eating eight-flavor soup, the eight-flavor soup is a craft inherited by the Chu country for a hundred years, the eight-flavor soup represents the eight flavors of life, the common taste of food, the taste of life, I heard that only the soup prepared by the person who has the craft, everyone can drink the mystery.

After a night of heavy snowfall, the palace is pure white, outside the splendid Jingrui Palace, two rows of eighty-one palace ladies hold the red chassis with both hands, walk slowly on the snow with elegant posture, the traces on the snow stepped on by the light-colored step boots are particularly obvious, only the rustling sound is heard outside the quiet Jingrui Palace, the palace ladies turn all the way, cross the stone bridge through the corridor, and finally, stop when they reach the main palace of Jingrui Palace, and enter the palace only after routine inspection by the guards outside the palace.

"See the queen, may the queen be safe and well-being, see all the mothers, may the mothers be healthy, early this morning, my king ordered me to go to the imperial pavilion to get the eight-flavor soup and send it to the palace masters."

The leading Gong E stood empty-handed in the main hall, the masters just nodded, only to see the leading Gong E's hands from the back of the head to the top of the head to sort out the headdress, the five fingers of the left hand from the arm to the long sleeves, the five fingers hit the sleeve head, so it is called the bullet dust, in fact, it is to show his innocence, indicating that the body is clean, without any murder weapons, the right hand also does it once, only to be elegant, gently bent over, hands arched forward, the bamboo book in the hand is naturally stretched out.

Standing at the top of the main hall wearing a pink palace dress Gong E slowly stepped forward to take the bamboo book, and then passed it to Gong E wearing a red palace dress directly above the main hall, she opened the bamboo book, looked at it one by one, confirmed that it was no different, and then motioned to the palace ladies with both hands to put things down.

"All the girls have worked hard, thank you for the palace and all the mothers."

It was Ouyang Yu, the queen mother, who spoke, and seeing that she was dressed well and elegantly today, sitting on the phoenix chair and flipping through the tents of the harem this month, which was completely different from the other women in the harem who were sitting and talking and laughing, and she even had the folds sent by the king of Chu in her hand.

"The queen Niangniang manages the affairs of the harem, and there is a lot of hard work, and my king specially instructed the dining room to make the lotus seed soup and osmanthus rice cake that the mother likes, and my king also specially instructed the mother not to work too hard."

The leader Gong'e withdrew her hands, folded them in front of her one by one, and stood upright.

"My king is really considerate of my sister! Right? Ladies and gentlemen"

Without waiting for the queen to speak, it was the second highest ranking concubine in the six palaces to speak at this moment, Fu Xin, the daughter of the imperial princess, who was charming and colorful, ice and snow smart, and everyone was demeanor without losing the jealousy of a woman, and more importantly, "This woman is a little dangerous."

"Uh......" Although there are three palaces and six courtyards and seventy-two concubines and beautiful women sitting in the main hall, no one has the courage to take the words of the rear official, and everyone responds to the faint smell of dark arrows in the main hall with silence.

"That's it, today's Laba, everyone has a rare gathering, and the quick words of fanning the flames will be put away for the palace, and the palace almost lost this"

The voice is tranquil, but the words are like a thousand knives and arrows approaching Fu Xin, and the queen, who is accustomed to seeing the open and secret battles in the harem, always sits like a green pine, her demeanor is calm, and her slender jade fingers have been circling the blue and white jade flute, even her eyes have not moved.

"Hongu almost lost this ......"

The queen's words have been echoing in Fu Xin's mind, and she understands very well what this sentence means, and the implication is "This palace almost has no appetite to eat, and I am so instigated by you that I plan to throw away these things that everyone envy."

"Ouyang Yu, today's humiliation in the hall, he will definitely ask you to repay me a thousand times more tomorrow"

The eyes of many masters above the hall lingered between the queen and the queen, and the queen and the official were still smiling on the surface, but under the unrevealing appearance was the turbulent hatred, and the careful concubine must have found that her tender white fingers had already turned purple from pinching the glass moonlight cup in her hand.

"Then we won't disturb the ladies and mothers, and we will retire."

The leading palace lady ordered the palace ladies to put the plates on the table and then withdrew from the hall according to the courtesy, and the concubines put their palms together in their arms, and their foreheads lightly expressed their gratitude to our king Longen.

"Rustling ......" Footsteps sounded on the snow outside Jingrui Palace again, and the palace ladies were still walking on the snow in an elegant and orderly manner.

"Ahh......h This damn snow, it's so hard to walk......"

A childish coquettishness, a ball of turquoise on the pure white snow fell to the ground, it turned out to be a pink carved female doll, I saw that the fallen doll did not cry or scream, and the frozen red little nose was about to drip, but it still did not give up and moved slowly, but, it seemed that it took a lot of effort to still move in place, and I can only blame the snowdrift that night is too thick.

Although the palace ladies heard the voice, none of them stepped forward to check what was going on, not that they didn't dare, but that they didn't deserve their identity, so they could only watch from afar.

"When I see Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, don't hurry up and salute!"

It was still the leader Gong E who spoke, she walked slowly to the doll respectfully, bowed her head and bent down to show her humility, while a group of Gong E behind her knelt down, and no one dared to make a mistake in her movements.

"Central Management Division, you just came out of the queen mother's side, didn't you?"

Qianyu, who was lying on the ground as beautiful as a blue wave fairy, stood up unhurriedly, the thick snow almost buried half of her body, it seemed that Fang Cai followed all the way along the footprints left by the palace ladies, only to see her gulping for hot air.

"Back to the princess, exactly, we are going to send a diet on the order of my king"

The leader Gong'e stretched out her hand to pull up Qianyu, Zhonggong'e hurriedly got up and took a step back, and the leading Gong'e pulled her towards the main palace of Jingrui Palace again, it is strange to say, Princess Qianyu is proficient in riding and shooting swords and guns, but she is defeated by this ice and snow, no matter how clever she usually is, as long as it snows, she can't move.

"Central Management Division, why didn't my father come to dine with my mother?" Qianyu dragged her skirt and followed the footsteps of the Central Management Division in small steps.

"Back to the princess, the king has been busy with court affairs recently, and after a while, the king will definitely come over to accompany the queen to dine together" The central management department walked carefully every step, and even deliberately stepped on every step, so that the thousand words behind him were easier to walk.

After the two left, the two rows of Gong E also began to leave, different directions, different people, but stepping on the same footprints, after the Central Management Division and Qianyu left, one of the small Gong E's looked back and smiled proudly.

The Central Management Division accompanied Qianyu to the outside of Jingrui Palace, tidied up her messy clothes and hair flowers, and her fingertips touched a pair of pearl flowers on Qianyu's head, feeling weird, this thing should not be given to her by the queen's mother.

"Princess, who gave you this pearl head flower?" The central management department asked casually, and the action was extremely heavy, and he carefully took it off her head?

"This was given to me by the nurse, is it beautiful?" The simple Qianyu raised her head and waved in front of the Central Management Division, smiling brightly, the nurse in her mouth was the nurse who took care of her for a while when she was very young.

"It's beautiful, but there's a pearl here that's going to fall, I'll take it back and help you embroider it, and you'll come to me tomorrow to get it, okay?" The central manager took a handkerchief and carefully put away the pearl-headed flower.

"Well, then the Central Management Division must remember, I'll go to you tomorrow to get it" Qianyu touched the place where Fang had just inserted the head flower, and sure enough, it was empty, just like the sense of loss in his heart.

After the Central Management Division left, Qianyu was still standing in front of the door and did not enter, the feeling just now was very strange, and his originally heavy body suddenly relaxed a lot.
