Chapter One Hundred and Nine: A Sleepless Night 1
"That's all there is to it in the palace for this day. Aren't there a few of us who have entered Fengyi Palace? Xiaoyao Wang Yan Nantian looked at Hu Ba who was kneeling in front of him and asked.
"Back to the prince's words, these are what they see on their faces. They have not really had contact with Master Bai, and more content has not been received yet. ”
"It's really anxious, but this king is still pretending to be dead here. It's really embarrassing, a few of you will arrange it for this king, and this king will go over to see Yang Er tonight. ”
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will arrange the route, and they will meet you outside the palace as usual. Do you want our people to come into contact with the water mother-in-law? ”
"I'll wait until this king meets Yang'er. went to call Hu Er over, only he had seen Yang Er's disguise, hoping that he could learn some fur. ”
Outside the palace, the carefree king Yan Nantian was thinking about the poplars. The emperor in the imperial study has been angry since last night. The table and stool of the two eunuchs have been kneeling outside the door of the imperial study. The two of them were really aggrieved, they were originally designed well, but they were cut off by the queen's mother. Both of them are people who can't be provoked, and the two of them have become sandwich biscuits. You have to bear the anger of any end. Originally, there was a lack of things underneath, and now the cold in my heart is frozen.
"Are you two dead? Don't die and get in and do something for me. If you do what you did before, I won't punish you, and if you don't do it well, you will never have to kneel. The emperor shouted angrily in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, the little one is not dead, so get in." The two eunuchs stumbled into the imperial study as if they had been pardoned. No matter what the emperor orders, it is true that he can save his life for the time being.
Poplar and her sisters have been walking around the Imperial Garden for a long time, and they have not completely completed the Imperial Garden. After lunch, the ladies burned their brains in the room, thinking about tomorrow's poems and songs. Bai Wan'er lay on the bed with a big grin and said that she was tired, and Huang Rong was glad that she was not eliminated. If you stay, you must work hard to catch up with the rankings, so that you can have the freedom to marry independently. But you can't be too far ahead, and if you perform too well, you're afraid that you will be married by the royal family. Not to mention the aspen, which is needed in any space. Even if there is no such space, with the 20 years of education he received in his previous life, it is not a matter of every minute and every second to crush this backward and ignorant time and space. In the room, only Miss Jing'er was working silently, and she continued to polish her poems and songs without even eating a few bites of dinner. Her maid and son-in-law also served tea and water one by one.
Today's Fengyi Palace courtyard is exceptionally quiet, and the cold wind in early winter blows the rustling of fallen leaves.
"Miss, it's not early, the slave maid will serve you to wash and sleep." Jing'er's maid helped her put away the pen and ink on the table and said.
"Okay, a few sisters Gan Jing went to wash first."
"Miss, the slave will go to the big kitchen to fetch water."
"Miss, the old slave has prepared a change of clothes for you."
Seeing that Jing'er's master and servant were busy, Poplar and none of them had any objections. Although Bai Yang, the secret of the bath room, did not tell Bai Wan'er, Bai Wan'er did not go to wash it, and Bai Yang naturally would not say this. Huang Rong is a shrewd person, and when she saw that the sisters in the White Palace's mansion had no intention of washing, she didn't show up.
Unexpectedly, it was only a short while, and the maid who Miss Jing'er went to carry water ran back angrily.
"Mademoiselle is so angry, there were four bath barrels in the bathroom. The results were all bad, and the slave went to find the housekeeper of Fengyi Palace. She said that she was afraid that she would be bitten by rats, so she could only replace it with a new one for us tomorrow. ”
"Forget it, it's not like being in our house, if you can make no trouble, you won't have trouble. Miss Ben will endure it for a day, and tomorrow she will change the bath and wash it again. Jing'er said helplessly.
"Then miss, you should rest early, and you will have a talent show tomorrow. A few young ladies and slaves went first. ”
Seeing the maids leave, Poplar turned around and went to the small bathhouse. On the floor of the bathhouse, there is still the hot air that has just flowed from the water that the maid has just stored. Seeing the deliberately broken seams underneath the tub, Poplar understood that someone had done it on purpose. It seems that yesterday's grafting has angered some people. I'm afraid it's uneasy tonight, but I don't know which one will smash the field.
"Listen to the ladies in the wing, the queen is sympathetic to you for being tired during the day, and has prepared a sumptuous supper at night. Those who have already slept do not need to call them to get up, and those who have not slept are waiting for the reward of the queen's mother. Suddenly, I remembered the voice of an old lady in the courtyard, and I was ready to sleep, but naturally I didn't dare to sleep, who would dare to ignore the things that the queen mother had rewarded? Those who had already fallen asleep hurriedly got up and waited.
Poplar doesn't know if there is such a program in the five-year general election in previous years, but today's supper is afraid that the food in his house has been added.
Supper was soon brought by the palace ladies, a pot of fragrant tea, a few plates of delicate snacks, and a basket of fresh fruit. Really hearty enough as a late-night snack.
"Sister, you won't be poisoned, right?" Wan'er asked, looking at the things on the table.
"Probably not, tomorrow is a talent show, and the queen won't smash her signboard. Because tomorrow the emperor and several princes will also come to observe. Huang Rong said uncertainly.
"Are you frightened? Even if it's poisonous, it won't let us die. I was already looking out last night, so what else was there to care about? Jing'er said with a resigned look.
"Eat it, it won't be poisonous." Poplar said indifferently. I took a sip of tea, then picked up a piece of dim sum and ate it, and with the dim sum a pill of antidote, it also slipped into my mouth.
Seeing that my sister ate Bai Wan'er, I was not afraid. I was scared in the morning, and then I walked around the Imperial Garden for half a day, and I didn't eat much for dinner. I'm really hungry now, and the things in Fengyi Palace are many times better than those in Baiwang's Mansion. Why don't you eat more?
When he took the first sip of tea, Poplar judged that this time it was just a simple **. The hours will not be too long, and it will never delay the talent show of the ladies tomorrow. Even if someone finds out, the person who drugged it will say that it is to give the ladies a good rest. Bai Yang ate slowly, and Bai Wan'er, who had eaten the most after a while, was the first to lie on the table and be confused. Then there was Miss Jing'er, who saw Wan'er lying down and sleeping. She didn't wait for the ** seizure, she climbed into bed and fell asleep. Huang Rong seemed to be aware of it, but she was struggling to support it. Bai Yang smiled in his heart, and glanced at Huang Rong with a complicated look, there was self-deprecation and accident in it.
"Alas! The horse stumbled. Bai Yang muttered and helped Bai Wan'er to the quilt covered by the bed. He turned around and lay down on his bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Huang Rong wanted to bite the tip of her tongue to resist for a while, but her reason couldn't resist the panic, she was the last to go to bed and fall asleep.
In a trance, I saw the palace maids come in and put away the table, and then fell into a deep sleep. After a few more moments, the door was pushed open. An old eunuch came in first and tried his breath at each of the young ladies and went out.
"It's time for the Lord to come." Poplar said secretly, she fell calmly on the bed, sensing the movement around her. The door was gently pushed open again, and the footsteps of the man who came in were noticeably heavier than the eunuch's. The breathing was also a little rapid, and the smell of the elderly emanated from his body. Poplar really didn't know whether to rejoice or resent.
was favored by the emperor, it was a matter of one step to the sky, but these were so disdainful for Baiyang. If you are willing, you might as well step on the head of the dog emperor and go to heaven by yourself, and you are not willing to be his woman. Not to mention that he is the emperor's father of the King of Freedom.
"Poplar, aren't you very capable? will detoxify the poison, and it is not the simplest ** to put down. Yesterday you cheapened my son, but you still can't escape. Even if I have spoiled you now, I don't know it. The old emperor stood in front of Poplar's bed and whispered, the turbid heat in his mouth getting closer and closer to Poplar's face.
Poplar felt a little disgusted, and involuntarily blinked his eyelashes.
"Beauty, you are really beautiful. No wonder my two eldest sons have been seduced by you. One walked into the court for you to make an exception, and the other played a trick with me for you. You have that capital, but I don't allow it. The whole world belongs to me, including you. You are destined to be my woman, your beauty, your talents, and your wisdom will all be mine. My harem is full of flowers, and now with you, the flowers are not worth seeing. The more the old emperor looked at it, the more obsessed he became, and his wrinkled face almost touched Poplar's face. The hand is also raised, and it is about to be restless. Unexpectedly, Poplar turned over suddenly, not only dodged the old emperor's kiss, but picked up his arm like an iron rod and hit the old emperor's shoulder. The old emperor fell to the ground with one of his backs. He felt like his shoulders were broken, and he was about to scold. But I saw the poplar who turned over and turned his head inward, making an even breathing sound, obviously still asleep. There was no way to vent his anger, and the old emperor only felt that his throat and eyes were hot. A mouthful of old blood spurted out. The table and stool outside heard the movement and hurried in.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Did she hurt you? The slave tied her up and avenged the emperor. ”
"Presumptuous, he's my baby. I don't blame her for not sleeping honestly. Fu Zhen went back, she was really a different kind of little woman, if you want to blame the two bastards of Bai Wang Ye and Bai Pingfei, what a beautiful beauty was driven out by them to beg for food. The emperor spat out another mouthful of blood and scolded the two eunuchs.
"Your Majesty, the slave should take her back with you."
"Bad idea, you're afraid that others won't know. A sucker! ”
