Chapter 278: Phoenix Room 7
The sun is clear, the autumn is high and cool, and the magnificent and majestic Daxing Palace stands proudly under the blue blue.
The emperor of the Great Zheng Dynasty rode on a light dragon chariot carried by sixteen people, surrounded by princes, nobles, civil and military officials, and passed through the first gate of the Daxing Palace, Yingtianmen.
Bai Jinyu accompanied Feng Chen and Yu He to walk in the first array, and in the distance, he saw the queen leading the concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards to dress up in court clothes and ceremoniously greet them in front of the Taiji Palace.
"The concubine welcomes His Majesty back to the palace!" The queen bowed to Feng Hua, and after her, a delicate sound of greeting sounded on the royal steps made of white marble.
Feng Hua stepped forward and personally helped the queen up: "The six palaces are safe, the queen has worked hard, can she be healthy recently?" ”
The queen raised her head, and there was a gentle smile on her eyes and lips: "The concubine is very good, but Your Majesty looks thin." ”
At this moment, Bai Jinyu remembered that desperate night, crying in the Weiyang Palace, and the emaciated figure of the queen stood alone under the dark night, isolated and helpless.
At this time, she and she at that time were like two people.
Bai Jinyu looked at the reunited emperor and queen, and a trace of emotion swept through her chest, but in a moment, the corners of her raised mouth gradually condensed on her face.
Because she saw that Feng Hua's gaze fell on Wu Guifei who was in the back row from afar, his eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness, which was completely different from the politeness when he was facing the queen.
Bai Jinyu suddenly felt embarrassed, and looked back at the queen, only to see that the corners of her mouth were shallowly curved, just right to ignore it.
Bai Jinyu suddenly felt that the queen at this moment was truly isolated. Everyone here bowed down to her, but everyone knew in their hearts that the woman the emperor loved was not her......
There's nothing like this to make a woman look like a joke.
Bai Jinyu's heart swelled up with an indescribable depression.
In front of the Taiji Palace, Fenghua burned incense and sacrificial wine, and completed the ceremony of returning to the palace between the shouts of the mountain.
Next, the guests were divided into men and women, and the chamberlains and palace maids were introduced into different palaces to rest for a while, waiting to enter the Yinghua Hall and take their seats.
"Lihua, where are you going?" Watching Bai Jinyu walk out, Yuhe called out to her.
Bai Jinyu took two steps back, stretched her neck and leaned into her ear and said, "Wait for the meal to start, I have to find a place with water to wash my hands, otherwise I won't be able to eat, I touched my hand just now......"
"Uh-huh!" Yuga nodded repeatedly, preventing her from saying the word "rat" again, as if the three words had a foul smell.
Yuhe also followed her and lowered her voice: "This palace is really big, find a palace maid to take you there!" ”
Bai Jinyu shook his hand: "No need, I know where there is water, don't bother others." ”
Yu He was a little puzzled how she knew where there was water in this Daxing Palace, but Bai Jinyu was already powerful and omnipotent in her heart, so she didn't ask much, but cared for her: "Then you go and go back quickly!" ”
Bai Jinyu promised "yes" and ran out.
The reason why Bai Jinyu knows where there is water is because the palace is a house built in strict accordance with feng shui, and the five elements and gossip are all inaccurate, and Bai Jinyu's nominal master, that is, Wenyan's father, is a leader in civil engineering construction in Cuizhu.
Although she did not inherit the mantle of her master because she was a daughter, she was familiar with it, and there were a lot of books on feng shui gossip in the study, and she was bored and had read a few books, so it didn't take long for her to find a well.
This well is only a water intake prepared in the palace for the time of fire, so it is a remote place. Today's banquet in the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids were busy in a hurry, and the palace guards were less than half because of the chaos, and they were more on duty in important places. Therefore, Bai Jinyu walked all the way here, but he didn't meet anyone who came up to ask and stop him.
There were cables and wooden barrels tied to the wellhead, and Bai Jinyu took off the wooden barrels and cables and put them into the well.
Suddenly, her right shoulder was gently patted, and she was startled, and turned her head to see that there was no one. Suddenly, she changed to the other side, and her left shoulder was slapped again, and she was turning her head, still empty.
Her heart was a little stunned, and a familiar voice said lazily above her head: "It is said that there are a total of seventy-two wells in this Daxing Palace, but up to the emperor's concubines and down to the palace maids and eunuchs do not drink the water in the palace, and the palace has to take water from outside the palace every day to drink, do you know why this is?" ”
Bai Jinyu looked at Wu Mu who was walking towards him with a smile, and only then did he let go of his vigilance, and asked, "Oh? Anyone else does such a stupid thing, and doesn't use seventy-two wells? ”
Umu laughed even more weirdly, stepped on the well with one foot, leaned down and said, "Because there have been people dead in every well!" Saying the last three words, he suddenly accentuated his tone, Bai Jinyu's hand shook, and the half-carried wooden barrel fell back into the well with a "clang".
"Hahahaha" Umu laughed so much that he almost lost his breath, holding his stomach and saying to Bai Jinyu: "It turns out that you are so timid!" ”
Bai Jinyu was speechless, rubbed his arm full of goosebumps, and said, "Your story is so terrible, even a person will be scared to death by you!" ”
Umu straightened up and said, "I didn't make up a story, what I just said is true." ”
"Really?" Bai Jinyu rubbed his face: "How can it be that seventy-two wells have all died?" ”
Umu smiled: "This is still undercounted!" There are 3,000 beauties in your harem, so many women, but only one man. For the sake of favor, power, and interests, concubines and concubines will inevitably use unscrupulous means and intrigue with each other. Those angry and failed women can't think about it, so they 'pounce' and die! Who would dare to drink this water that has soaked in corpses? ”
Bai Jinyu asked, "Where did you hear all these alarmist things?" ”
Wu Mu smiled: "This is not alarmist, the man who recruited the Feng Chamber is notoriously unlucky, I think you are not suitable for Fengchen, you are still suitable for following me!" “
Bai Jinyu said: "Neither of you two is suitable!" Our men in Luzhou are the best, I will go back to Luzhou in the future to find a wishful husband, a couple for a lifetime, he only has one wife for me, and his children are all born to me! ”
Umu was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, and after a while he said, "You're really not ashamed!" Huh? Why are you still washing? Umu looked at Bai Jinyu, who was washing his hands with a bucket of water, and said deliberately: "I told you that this water has been soaked ......."
Halfway through speaking, he pursed his mouth obediently, and Bai Jinyu had already picked up the barrel.
Bai Jinyu sprinkled the bucket at this time, and after washing her hands, she rewound the cable and said: "I didn't expect you to be invited to participate in the palace return ceremony, in the past ten days, I thought you had gone back to Duoyue!" ”
He Wumu was a little speechless and said: "Don't mention it in the past ten days, because of my identity, these officials of the Great Signs expect that my appearance must have some intention, and they will treat me to death, and someone will follow me even when I go to the thatched house." ”
