"What is this? Gold foil? There were three glittering golden flakes in the silver-white locket, and I was about to reach for them, but the temple man grabbed my hand: "Don't move! It's going to crush. ”

"What's new in you? Say it, I'll listen. ”

"These are the wings of a mayfly, and I soaked them in madder flower juice for a day, dyed them with a pink and transparent base, and then used a gold pen to trace the gold color along the lines on the wings. In these three days, only three pairs were made. The girl's depiction of gold, the plain girl's depiction of cinnabar, there are only these three pieces in total, and there is no excess to make up for if they are crushed. ”

"These are mayfly wings?" I leaned up in disbelief and looked at it twice, and laughed, "You've gone to such great lengths to put these wings on the girl's place?" With such small wings, I can't fly even if I press three! ”

"When I post it, the girl will know!" The temple man smiled and moistened his fingertips with water, and dipped the translucent gold-painted wings from the small box.

"Bi, Qi Hou summoned our group of people just to appease the doctors in the court, even if you dress me up beautifully today, it is impossible for him to keep me by my side." I picked up the plain mirror again, and saw that the temple people were busy on my forehead.

"I know, but it's different with this." The temple man muttered in a low voice, I didn't hear it very clearly, and then asked again: "What did you say?" ”

"I said that as long as Qi Hou is a man, when he sees a beauty like a girl, he will always stay in his heart. All right! Girl, take a look, is it pretty? The temple man withdrew his hands, smiled and leaned to my cheeks, tilted his head and looked into the bronze mirror with me, "Tut-tut, such eyes, such delicate skin, lined with three golden wings between the eyebrows, the girl is going to shame the goddess of the Nine Heavens into the clouds." ”

"How much honey do you smear on your mouth on weekdays, how can you have endless good and obedient words." I smiled and put down the bronze mirror and stood up, took the deep clothes and corset on the side of the bed and walked behind the screen, "Bi, has the bell of the next dynasty been struck?" You go outside and look, and the other people in the room are all out? ”

"The bell has been struck, but the people in the palace have not come to urge, there should be some time. Girl, this skirt is densely embroidered and a little heavy, is it easy to wear? Let me help you! ”

"No, I'll be fine right away. Wait outside! ”

"No!" The temple man closed the window, opened the door with a creak, and walked out.

I hid behind the screen, put on the light crimson curly robe, and picked out another jade from the dresser and tied it around my waist.

Qi Hou Lu Ren was an important figure in the struggle between Kan Zhi and Chen Heng, and he was also an important bargaining chip in the future negotiations between Wu Xian and Gao and Guo. Although Ah Su and I have different ultimate goals, we have the same intention of holding Qi Hou in our hands. Today's little Ya Ge face Jun, I don't know who can attract the attention of Qi Hou first between me and her.

"Girl, it's time to go down." The voice of the temple man came from outside the door.

I gathered my thoughts, pushed the door open, and walked out.

Facing the terrace, there are seven or eight beauties standing in the pavilion. Moon white, quinoa, pale blue, turmeric yellow, fine ice, hosta and red shoes, all of them are glamorous. Behind the beauties, there was a woman in a dark white and red-edged robe, standing in the morning light with her back to me. She held the yaoqin in her hand, independent and independent, three thousand green silk into a cloud bun, and a red coral hairpin loomed at the silk entanglement.

I stepped down onto the terrace, and she looked back.

Smoke eyebrows, fine eyes, three cinnabar wings at the tail of the eyes, indescribable enchantment, indescribable hooking.

Today's she is not Asu, she is a beautiful song as a mystery.

I looked at Ah Su dumbfounded, everyone looked at me stunned, and finally the temple people coughed lightly, and everyone woke up and consciously made way for me and Ah Su.

"I heard that Sister Su has been unwell for the past few days, but she is feeling better today?" I walked up to Ah Su and bowed slightly.

"It's better, thank you for your concern." Ah Su smiled back, and then pretended to hold my hand affectionately, "Has my sister heard?" Today, the monarch is going to have a banquet for the distinguished guests from the Chu State at the small pavilion, you and I are going to serve the banquet for the first time today, what song and dance has my sister prepared? ”

A distinguished guest from the Chu State? I turned my head to look at the temple man, who stiffened his face and avoided my gaze.

"Where does my sister have such a talent as my sister, there is really no one who can do it in song and dance." As soon as I said this, there was a whisper of rustling around me.

"My sister is so beautiful, even if she doesn't know anything, it doesn't matter." Ah Su glared at a few women who were covering their mouths and snickering, and pulled me aside "considerately", "Today, the Marquis of Qi is going to feast on Gongsun Chao and Gongsun Ning of Chu State. When a foreign minister visits, a few beauties are always sent out between the banquets. But I remind you that the female music given by the king to his ministers must be sent to the post house outside the palace for at least three days. If you break our previous agreement, within three days, I have a chance to get rid of you. If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to escape from the palace today, I advise you to die as soon as possible. ”

Gongsun Chao and Gongsun Ning were the grandsons of King Chu Ping and the two sons of Yin 1 Zixi, the commander of Chu State. Among them, Gongsun Chao is good at martial arts, holding a heavy soldier Gongsun Ning Shanwen, and has the talent to govern the country. At this time, what did the State of Chu send these two grandsons to the State of Qi to do?

"You're really beating their minds!" Seeing that I was silent in thought, Ah Su slammed his wrist on my wrist.

"If they want to ask the Marquis of Qi for me, what can I do? You don't want the people of Chu to take a fancy to me, so why bother to let the temple people bother to dress me up so much! ”

"Dress up just to prevent the Marquis of Qi from giving you to the people of Chu." Ah Su let go of my hand, "Ah Shi, I don't care if you believe it or not, since I promised to send you out of the palace after the matter is completed, I will definitely do it." Until then, don't play tricks on your cleverness, as soon as my father-in-law thinks I can't control you, he will immediately send someone to kill you. At that point, none of us will be able to save you, you know? ”

"You guys? Who are you? I asked, rubbing my wrist and laughing.

"You can't be stupid, you can't pretend to be stupid. What the father-in-law wants is just a person who knows witchcraft and is good at using poison, and he will not leave a person by the king's side that will cause trouble for the Chen family. ”

"Su Qi, are you still pretending that we are friends?" After listening to Ah Su's words, I couldn't help but sneer.

Ah Su's eyes darkened, and he sighed: "Ah Shi, I used to think that this world is a man's world, and no matter how smart a woman in this world is, she is just hiding in the high wall and trying her best to gain a reputation for herself and seek wealth in her life." Women in the world, I am already different, but there is still a you. You and I should have been the closest people, but we had no choice but to stand by different people's side. I really don't want you to die here, at the hands of my stepfather. ”

Ah Su's words are true, in fact, if fate can choose, I don't want to be her enemy. At that time, she knew that she was chasing and killing the Fan clan in Qidi, but she still took the risk to design to approach me. Not because she was arrogant and conceited, not because she was absolutely sure that she could control and use me, but because Fanji was terminally ill and her father was in danger, she had to put herself at risk. She lied to me, but her heart to save her father was real. On the bank of the Zishui River, she went downhill to collect medicine, I took her hand and I knelt down to dig the medicine, she would always carefully remove all the thorns for me That day, I stumbled and slipped into the river, she jumped down and pulled me regardless of the ground. Once, I really regarded her as a friend, and it is because of this that the subsequent deception was so hurtful.

"Don't worry, I didn't plan to use those two princes of Chu to escape from the palace, and I won't give your father-in-law a reason to kill me. Let's go, everyone over there is here. ”

"That's fine, let's go!" Asu held out his hand to me, and I flashed to the side and walked straight towards the crowd.

Behind him, there was a muffled coughing sound from Asu. I turned my head, and she waved her hand at me, raising a smile that I had once been so familiar. The smile pierced into my heart like a sharp knife, and I stood in front of her, silently watching as she coughed up tears and blushed her face.

Actually, I really want to tell her not to drink the Bailing wine in the Qi Palace anymore, and not to rub my incense powder mixed with June snow pollen again. But in the end, I chose to remain silent. In this life-and-death contest, no one can be merciful to the enemy.

Of the fourteen beauties facing the terrace, except for Ji Jiang of Ziya's family, who was unable to face Jun because of his coma, the remaining thirteen people had already arrived. In the corner, the bell rang, the temple people and maidservants brought by the private family consciously retreated, and the thirteen beauties lined up in two columns just waiting for the little pavilion to send someone to pass it. But I waited left and right, and when the morning haze dissipated and the sun rose to the roof, no one came to the small pavilion.

A woman in a dark turmeric white edge curl standing in front of me looked at the newly rising sun and muttered, "Today, won't we wait a few more hours, right?" ”

"Sister, don't worry, the leader of the temple who is facing the terrace has already gone over to ask. Wait a minute, there is no manager in the palace for a while, and it will be very chaotic. Beside her, another woman in a dark smoky blue coat whispered.

"Didn't you choose a new manager? This doctor's family can't move without a slaughterer, how can such a big palace not have a manager! ”

"Yes, didn't the person who came yesterday say that there will be someone around you to pick us up in the corner, why is there no figure at this time? They don't just forget about us when they're busy, do they? ”

"Then what's the matter, your lord is waiting for us to serve the feast! Missed today, next time you will meet you, who knows when? "The beauties in front of the team, you talk, I talked, and they got together and whispered.
