Chapter 27: Candle Tears (5)

The sun gradually went up, and the bright sunlight shone on Gu Xiang's body, reflecting a slender shadow on the ground. The official flag stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, the king of the military department has something important to report, and now he is waiting at the gate of the Qianyuan Palace." ”

Gu Xiang withdrew his thoughts, turned around and walked towards the Qianyuan Palace, "Guanqi, those three women entered the palace today, each rewarded five brocades, a pair of agate heads, a pair of gold inlaid jade steps, a white jade bracelet, and four boxes of incense powder. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"But what's wrong?" Gu Xiang looked at Lord Wang below and was very nervous, lest he say something suddenly changed and he couldn't go.

Lord Wang didn't understand why the emperor was so nervous, so he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, things are going well, and you can set off next month." ”

Gu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, he wanted to hit someone a little, everything went smoothly and he was so nervous, and said, "Then what is the so-called matter of Lord Wang coming today?" ”

Lord Wang hesitated a little, simply closed his eyes and knelt down, looking at death as if he were home: "Please be gracious to the emperor and allow the people involved in this matter to rest for a month, I don't know when they will return, please let them reunite with their families." ”

Gu Xiang didn't think about it, and waved his big hand: "Accurate." ”

After Bu Niannian finished dressing up, he sat on the chair and stared at a group of maids and eunuchs, and was called up early in the morning to toss and turn, his head weighed a thousand pounds, and his body was strangled and breathless. I endured all this, who let her be unlucky to be chosen by King Ji.

On the day of Yin Yin, she didn't want to enter the palace so gloomy, what did this King Ji think, shouldn't she choose someone who only wants to enter the palace? She now regrets very, very much that she didn't give him a kick when the water bandit leader dragged her into the water, so that Bu Yuemian would not fall into the water, how could there be so many things now.

"Did you figure it out, where should I go?" Bu Niannian is now full of resentment in his heart, what's the matter with this emperor, the queen doesn't forget it, and she doesn't even keep a single concubine, this is finally tossed and stuck on the hurdle of who to ask for peace.

The maid Feihua trembled and spoke: "Why don't you go to Zhaoyang Palace to have a look?" Now Princess Zhaoyang's holy will is not even comparable to King Ji. ”

Princess Zhaoyang?

Bu Niannian remembered the woman sitting above holding a black cat on the day of the draft, wearing a light cyan skirt with dark patterns crocheted with gold threads, and a few small red flowers embroidered on the skirt. She didn't wear any gold and silver hairpins, the pearls on the wooden hairpins swayed slightly in the air, and her yin face was full of smiles, but she felt that the depths of her eyes were cold. It's not like the emperor's favored sister at all, it's more like a passer-by in this palace, a loose person in the world.

"Let's go." Bu Niannian got up and sighed, although this Princess Zhaoyang is not a person to provoke, but her long palace career has only started on the first day, so she has to find a solid thigh to hold it first.

Lao Yi, get up. Coal didn't know how many times he stood on Mu Yi's pillow and slapped Mu Yi's face with his paws, trying his best to wake up the man who was still asleep.

Mu Yi slapped the black cat to the other side, and whispered indisputably: "Don't make trouble with coal, it's just dawn, and then sleep." ”

The coal was exhausted, and he lay on the quilt and sighed: If you don't get up again, Gu Duan will burn Zhaoyang Palace.

"What?!" Mu Yi got up suddenly, suspecting that he hadn't heard clearly, hadn't Gu Duan always been reluctant to come to her?

"When will your princess Zhaoyang wake up?" Mei Yan's maid looked at the angry King Ji in front of her, and whispered to the guards guarding the door. The master of her family was also called up early in the morning, but she didn't know who to say hello to, and finally came to Zhaoyang Palace. happened to meet Qingyu and Bu Niannian, who were selected with her, but were told at the door that the princess had not woken up yet, and asked them to wait for a while.

Half an hour later, King Ji also came, the gate of Zhaoyang Palace still did not open, and another half an hour passed, and King Ji's fire was about to set Zhaoyang Palace on fire.

"It's coming." The guards at the gate were in a cold sweat, basically no one came here these days, but I didn't expect them to come as soon as they came, Princess Zhaoyang usually sleeps until she wakes up naturally, who knows when she will wake up today.

Just as the guards were thinking about how to apply to the chief steward for another errand, the door of Zhaoyang Palace creaked open, and one person and one cat in the door looked at the eight or nine people outside the door and were stunned, looking at each other, all silent.

In the end, Mu Yi pretended to be calm and spoke: "Xiaoqi, you are here, Yu Jieyu, Yu Jieyu, Ying Jieyu are also here." ”

Gu Duan didn't say a word, led the little maid inside, and the remaining three stood at the gate of the palace to explain to Mu Yi, and finally led his maid inside.

Mu Yi looked at the Zhaoyang Palace, which suddenly became lively, and had a headache, and kicked the black cat at his feet: Why didn't you say in advance that so many people were coming?

beckoned everyone to sit under the pavilion, and the palace people served pastries and tea one after another.

Gu Duan sat on the stool without saying a word, his hand gently touched the black cat's hair, and the black cat purred comfortably.

Mu Yi looked at the black cat who had forgotten who was its master, lost his power and humiliated the country, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, why are you here so early?" ”

"Brother Huang asked me to come." Gu Duan didn't want to say more, he didn't want to come, but the imperial brother said that he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to cope with it, so he had to let him come and have a look. I can't figure it out, when he went to the Chinese Academy alone that day, why didn't the imperial brother worry that he couldn't cope with it. But one thing to say, although she hates it, he still likes her black cat very much.

Coincidentally, the three people selected this time all watched Mu Yi and Gu Duan talk quietly, and no one spoke. Qingyu looks like a tiger girl with a bold personality, but Yin Xian is not interested in pleasing others; Mei Yan is a quiet character, soft-spoken, good at poetry, but not good at gossip; Bu Niannian is the kind of person who doesn't want to enter the palace at all, she is quite able to talk, but when she thinks of the coldness in Mu Yi's eyes on the day of the draft, she can't open her mouth.

Mu Yi felt that Gu Duan didn't even sit on the stool and left, did he get up early in the morning to play with the heartless cat? looked at the three people who were still looking at him, and said with a smile: "I didn't know that you would come today, and there is no palace maid and eunuch in Zhaoyang Palace, so you have to wait for a long time." ”

Mei Yan replied very respectfully: "Don't dare, it's us who acted recklessly." ”

"I am not always in the palace, so don't come in the future, so as not to throw yourself into the air." Mu Yi took out three sandalwood boxes and handed them to the three of them, "I, the princess of Zhaoyang, am relatively poor, and I don't have anything valuable, don't laugh at the gadgets." ”

The three of them took the box, and Bu Niannian opened the box, and inside was a diamond-shaped ice cube, which was exuding a biting cold. There is a white flower in the ice cube, and the light purple petals shine through the ice, like the color of pale amethyst.

It's good-looking, portable, and easy to make, and it only takes a little mana to make the ice permanent. At the beginning, Mu Qiuliang saw that she liked it, and when he left Tianshan, he gave her a few baskets. And told her that if it was gone, she would come back and get it again. In the past two years, he has been regarded as a gift by Mu Qiuliang, and when he has no money, he has set up a stall on the side of the road to sell it, and he has also taken it to the pawnshop to fool people for money.

The three of them thanked Mu Yi, and then chatted for a while before leaving together.

It was night, Bu Niannian looked at the ice cube in his hand, it was very hot in summer, but the ice did not show the slightest sign of melting. Putting the ice cubes into the box and lid, she rubbed her temples, Princess Zhaoyang, it's not easy.
