Chapter 179: Entering the Palace for Audience
Early the next morning, Ao Zhen and I finished freshening up under the service of the maid. Ao Zhen said: "Should I accompany you today?" I was a little scared of yesterday's situation. ”
"Sister, stay with me for another day! Especially if the prince and his wife are coming today, you can't avoid it! ”
"Alright! Then I'll be with you for a day. I won't accompany you tomorrow to say anything. ”
Instead of using a special cushion, we leaned on the quilt and tucked our lower body away. I also had the maid hang a curtain on the inside of the bed. If Ao Zhen feels tired, let her go inside to rest.
The first person to come to see us in the morning was Yuluo. Originally, she lived in the academy, which was the closest to me. After a while, Ji Feng also appeared, and then led Yuluo away.
It didn't take long for the crown prince Ji Fa to arrive with Yi Jiang. When Yi Jiang saw me, he didn't feel tears rippling. Ji Fa looked sad.
"Sister-in-law, don't cry! I'm fine now. I said.
"Can you show me your legs?" Yi Jiang asked.
I didn't want her to see it, mainly because I didn't want Ji Fa to see it.
"Sister-in-law, I don't have legs! Where to show you? ”
Yi Jiang was a little stammering. "Not at all?"
I was a little helpless, "Sister-in-law, why don't you come over." "When Yi Jiang came over, I lifted part of the quilt and asked her to look inside.
Yi Jiang burst into tears at that time. "Nezha, how can this be?"
I smiled, "It's just two legs missing!" It's not a big deal. Besides, I'm not alone, and the Seventh Princess is with me! ”
Yi Jiang looked at Ao Zhen next to him, and his lower body was also very short under the quilt. "Seventh Princess, you also had surgery?"
Ao Zhen had to smile bitterly, "I'm the same as Nezha, and my two legs have been cut off." ”
Yi Jiang stopped crying, and his face was a little strange.
Ji Fa said: "Father and mother want to come and see you. Once you're settled, they'll find their own time. ”
"How's that good?" I said, "My brother and sister-in-law came to see me, and my little sister has already felt deeply guilty. How can you work for your father and your mother? Although the little sister lost both legs, her spiritual power and mana were there, and she was not unable to act, and she could still fight for Brother Wang if necessary. Early tomorrow morning, the little sister will go into the harem to meet her father and queen mother. ”
After Ji Fa left, his brothers arrived one by one. During this time, Jiang Shang also came over to sit down. He didn't say a word of booing and warmth, he was more concerned about when I would be able to recover and what my current combat strength was.
"Uncle Shi, are you going to fight again?" I asked.
He shook his head, "It shouldn't be within this year, but it's hard to say next year, and if you don't fight, it won't prove that it will be peaceful." He patted my hand, "Recuperate in peace!" Anyway, you are the killer weapon of the teacher. Being a teacher won't let you take risks easily. ”
Within one day, except for Ji Xian, Ji Chu, Ji Feng, and Ji Gao, who picked me up yesterday, the rest of the king's concubines in Beijing and Zhou, Ji Dan, Ji Zhenduo, Ji Wu, and Ji Zhi all came. More than 20 concubines and righteous sons also came. Later, it was the ministers of the court who had their daughters in the academy, and even among the neighboring princes, they all ran over.
At most, my small bedroom was crowded with more than thirty guests, both inside and out. Ao Zhen had already collapsed, hiding behind the curtain and never coming out again.
Finally sent off the last group of guests. I slipped from the top of the covers onto the bed. Because I didn't move for a day, my lower back and my sacrum were in great pain. "Ao Zhen, come out! No one anymore! ”
In the evening, while bathing and changing clothes under the service of the maids, I thought that I had to find a way to be able to move freely here without attracting too much attention.
In fact, when I was able-bodied, I used to fly around the market and never paid attention to the eyes of the world. I can still fly with half my body, but I'm very afraid of being seen.
And if you suddenly find that there is a girl next to you who is next to you, but her lower body is empty, will you be shocked?
The next morning, I changed into a tight-fitting suit and fastened a floating belt. Then put on a deep skirt robe that mops the floor, pull up a little skirt with both hands, and slowly move around the room.
I asked the maid next to me, "Do you feel like you're walking?" ”
"Princess, it's perfect, you can't tell you're not walking." The maid replied.
"Really?" I asked, "Don't lie to me. ”
"I really didn't lie to you." Several maids said in unison.
So I went to ask Ao Zhen and Yuluo separately. Ao Zhen was quite unimpressed, "Why do you have to pretend to be like this?" ”
Yuluo looked at it for a long time and said, "If you don't look carefully, you can't see it." Also, you can't go too fast. Once the skirt floats up, it's a little scary. ”
But that's all I can do.
"Alright, so be it. Today you accompany me into the palace. ”
I didn't let Yura carry me into the carriage, but floated up myself, tucked the cushion into my skirt, and sat in the carriage. Let Yuluo sit next to me again.
The carriage enters Fengyi. After a tiring journey yesterday, I didn't have time to take a closer look at this newly established city. Now, I just feel like it's many times more prosperous than when I left. Tall walls have been erected around it. Needless to say, Xiqi, even Chongcheng, which had just been demolished, was beyond the reach of the dust.
It seems that Ji Chang is not blindly thrifty!
As for the newly built palace, it is not very luxurious in appearance. At least not as incongruous as the contrast with the surrounding buildings in Lutai Palace.
I didn't enter the front court, but went straight to the harem and went to meet Mrs. Taiji first.
When I saw Taiji, I imitated a posture of bowing to her. "See the Queen Mother."
Tai Ji stretched out her hand, "Come," she looked at me, "My son, I heard from my mother that you have undergone major surgery and can no longer walk......
"Yes, Queen Mother." I replied, "The child is now floating in mid-air with the help of magic weapons. ”
"Can you come over and let Wei Niang take a look?"
Why do you have to watch it? I turned my head to look at Yuluo behind me. She immediately decided to lay my cushion two feet in front of Tai Ji.
I said, "Mother, my wounds are a little scary, don't be afraid. Then he took off his coat and handed it to Yuluo, took control of the floating belt, and lowered half of his body onto the cushion.
Tai Ji looked at me in a daze, and didn't feel the old tears. "My son, I'm sorry for you!"
"Mother," I couldn't stand the tears of so many people, "isn't the child very good?" ”
I felt the change in the spiritual power behind me, and when I turned around, I realized that the characters I needed to see when I entered the palace this time appeared at the door all at once. Zhou Wang Ji Chang, the crown princess Yi Jiang, and the one-year-old boy Ji Yu. They had all apparently seen what I had just fallen into the cushion and their cheeks were crimson.
"Father!" I had to bow on the cushion instead.
"No formality!"
Ji Chang came over and sat on the other side of the table. "Yi Jiang, you can sit too!"
Yi Jiang sat down at the bottom. While teaching Ji to chant "Auntie".
"Auntie?" Ji Yu pointed at me, "Auntie, legs?" ”
I smiled at him, "Auntie doesn't have legs. ”
Ji Chang sighed, "My son, you have suffered. At the beginning, your master and Master Cihang took you away, but they didn't expect such a result. Knowing this, this king would have let you go in the first place. ”
I smiled, "But Father, although I have lost my leg now, my arm, heart and liver do not hurt anywhere!" ”
