Chapter 13: The Four Concubines
This night, the emperor tossed and turned again, unable to sleep!
After learning about Lu Pianpian's tragic experience, the heart in the emperor's chest felt as if someone had scratched it with his fingernails, it was itchy and painful, and he even felt heavy to breathe......
After hearing Ziming's statement, the emperor couldn't help but clear his tears, but after all, he was the king of a country, and he was also a master of restraining his emotions.
"Your Majesty......"
Seeing this, the female official was about to salute when the emperor waved her hand to retreat.
"When the little prince wakes up tomorrow, he will take him to the Middle Palace."
"Yes!"
After the instruction, the emperor walked with his hands on his back, and the eunuch who followed him stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, the night is late, do you want to go back to the middle palace to sleep, or go to the imperial study to review the recital?" ”
"Go back to the Middle Palace."
"The emperor moved to the middle palace......" The eunuch was about to command the guards to bring the dragon at the top of his throat, but the emperor waved his hand and said, "No need, I can walk around at will." ”
"Yes."
The eunuch didn't dare to say much, and cautiously followed the emperor along the way.
Along the way, the emperor carried his hands on his back, his face was heavy, his eyes were deep, and a pair of good-looking phoenix eyes looked at the starry sky. However, the emperor had no time to appreciate it, and his inner emotions became heavier and heavier.
A group of patrolling guards passed by the emperor, and when the guards saw him, they immediately saluted solemnly: "See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live......
The emperor was obviously walking, but he seemed to be in deep thought, and he didn't even notice the saluting attendant.
The guards didn't get a response, and they all looked at each other suspiciously, but they didn't dare to make a mistake.
The eunuch behind the emperor still had the eyesight to see, but he hurriedly waved his hand and said in a spoken voice: "The emperor is in a bad mood, go down quickly......"
The guards seemed to have a close understanding with the eunuch, and they retreated with their hands.
"Your Majesty, the Middle Palace is going this way."
Seeing that the emperor was going in the wrong direction, the eunuch hurriedly reminded.
When the emperor heard this, he slowly came back to his senses.
"Little Dezi, I asked you something, and you told me the truth."
"The emperor asks, how dare the slave bully the king, what the emperor wants to ask, the manager asks!"
The master and servant walked in the palace one after the other, and their backs seemed so heavy and lonely.
"Have you ever heard of a woman who gave birth to a child with a difficult birth and used a knife to cut open her abdomen and remove the fetus?"
When he asked this, the emperor happened to be walking in the corridor, and he stopped and stood under the corridor, looking at the stars and moon from afar, and his eyes did not show any emotion.
"This ......" said Degong fairly: "Emperor Qi, when the slave was in the folk, I heard some storytellers who would have similar stories, but most of them were the mother's fetus first cut off, in order to save the child in the womb, the abdomen was cut open and the fetus was taken out. ”
The emperor twisted his eyebrows, obviously displeased: "Make it up!" ”
Father-in-law De saw that he was a little angry, and he couldn't help but grumble in his heart; Why is the emperor so angry, could it be that he is involved with him at this time?
The so-called companion of the king is like a companion of the tiger, and the Duke of De, who is serving by the emperor's side, is particularly good at observing words and feelings, and when he sees something wrong, he immediately changes his smile and says: "The slaves also think so, they are all made up by some vulgar and ignorant people." ”
This sounded quite satisfactory to the emperor.
Gonggong De saw that his face was slightly better, so he asked tentatively: "The emperor asked like this, but what kind of fresh book did you hear?" ”
The emperor looked at the moonlight and sighed faintly: "I wonder, what is it like for a living person to have his abdomen torn open and the fetus taken out while he is awake? Is it better to live than to die, or to be in pain! ”
Father-in-law De didn't know why he said: "Cut open your stomach when you are sober? How is this possible! Ordinary people have to break a layer of skin to die and die, this cut belly has several layers of skin and flesh, how can ordinary people have that kind of pain tolerance! ”
"And what if there is?"
"This ...... The slave didn't dare to think about it, and when he thought about it, he felt creepy. ”
The emperor sneered, as if he was laughing at Gonggong De, and as if he was laughing at himself!
He wasn't there for her when she needed care and help the most...... It's no wonder she's a little different now!
The emperor's hand hidden under his big sleeve was tightly clenched into a fist, and he seemed to have made up his mind in his heart!
"Have you chosen the auspicious day for the post-closure ceremony?"
"Back to the emperor, the choice is good, on the sixth day of the next month, it is the auspicious day of the zodiac that is easy to marry and easy to marry."
"The affairs of the palace after sealing must be grand, and I want to make the queen the most enviable woman in the world!"
"Yes!"
"Back to the imperial study, I will write the holy decree, the queen will be worshiped from now on, and all the expenses in the palace will be implemented by the queen system......"
While the emperor instructed, he turned around and walked in the direction of the imperial study, and Gonggong De followed carefully behind him, remembering all the words he commanded in his head.
This night was a very heavy night for the emperor!
However, even though it was heavy, the emperor made up his mind to spoil the queen as a princess and give her the best of the world......
This night, Lu Pianpian slept very sweetly.
In her sleep, the ruby jade spirit ring on her body shimmered with a subtle red light, while her consciousness was in another world......
This world is a blue sky and white clouds, and the green grass is secluded.
Her body soared into the air, and for some reason, every time she came to this place, it was like a pure land, gradually fading away the hidden anger in her......
There was a faint black smoke all around her, and the smoke enveloped her, but it was blown by a cool breeze.
Lu Pianpian was puzzled; Why is there a black mist around her?
The air here was so fresh that as soon as she took a deep breath, the black clouds would pull out of her body......
Lu Pianpian walked aimlessly in this world, on the green grass, she saw a special plant, the plant was surrounded by leaves, and there were small red fruits among the leaves, this is not what ginseng is!
Lu Pianpian was happy in her heart, and said: "The world in the spirit ring is really wonderful, this is a miracle medicine to replenish vitality, how good it is for me to pick up the spirit ring early, not only there are fairy herbs and fairy medicines, but also modern medical equipment is available, why don't you pick it up early, pick it up early, it won't hurt so much on the day I give birth to my son!" ”
As if she had found a treasure in the world, Lu Pianpian had a rare playful smile on her pretty face, she reached out to grab the ginseng, but the ginseng was skewered out of the soil, and the root of the ginseng was like a human leg, and it actually ran away in front of Lu Pianpian!
Lu Pianpian rubbed his eyes incredulously: "This ginseng has become a sperm, and it can run!" ”
She slapped herself hard as she spoke, but unfortunately it didn't hurt!
Could it be that she is not in the world of the Ring, but in a dream?!
Lu Pianpian smiled evilly and said, "Will I get better sooner if I eat ginseng disease?" It should be like this, then I'm not welcome......"
"Grandma, please let me go, I've been cultivating for thousands of years, and I'm going to be eaten before I can take shape, I'm really unwilling, you let me go, I'll take you to catch other ginseng."
"Ginseng actually spoke!"
Lu Pianpian was surprised, but replied: "I have never seen you so greedy for life and afraid of death, and you don't even care about the lives of your companions in order to protect yourself!" ”
"It's not easy for me to cultivate for a thousand years, these ginseng have only inhaled a hundred years of spiritual energy in this pure land, not even elves, but they are also very effective for your illness, I don't believe you try it!"
"A cure-all?"
"If you take a hundred, you can almost cure the disease!"
This ginseng has all said this, she will be merciful today, let's go around it first.
"Okay, you take me to find other ginseng, don't cheat, or I'll eat you!"
"Don't dare, don't dare ......"
The thousand-year-old ginseng exuded spiritual power around it, and he jumped up and down and took Lu Pianpian in other directions.
Soon after, the thousand-year-old ginseng took her to a ginseng field, where there was a red sea, and the ginseng was buried in the ground and all of them were very fat, Lu Pianpian pulled a ginseng with her hand and put the ginseng in the storage box.
"Millennial ginseng, do you have a name?"
"This is a pure, no human continent, I am the first elf in this world to become a spirit, and no one has given me a name yet."
Lu Pianpian pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will be merciful and choose a name for you, and you will be called Xiaoguoguo in the future." ”
"Thank you, host, for the name! I love the name. ”
Ginseng happily jumped in the ginseng field, it had no nose and no eyes, only the appearance of ginseng bouncing on the ground, not to mention how funny it looked!
Lu Pianpian sneered and said, "This is the beginning of the confession." ”
"You are the first person in this world, the master of this world, and I will not lose by recognizing you as the master."
"Look, you're so good at talking, maybe you've survived on other roads?"
"Uh...... This ......"
"You're not going to be a pretty fairy, are you?"
"Nonsense, I'm the essence of the ginseng elves, not a fairy...... Oh...... Not! ”
It seems to be a leak!
How do you feel like she's tricking her?!
The thousand-year-old ginseng was eager to burrow into the ground immediately.
When Lu Pianpian heard this, he raised his eyebrows with interest, but he did not break its lie, but sat down cross-legged and said to it: "Look at my ring, my husband said that it is a red jade spirit ring, which is a thing of the fairy family, and it is said that after I picked it up, my illness is getting better day by day, do you say that there are immortals above who have taken a fancy to me and want to help me through the catastrophe of human suffering?" ”
The thousand-year-old ginseng fruit was silent for a moment, shook its chubby body and said, "I don't know." ”
I'm afraid that if I say one more word, I will miss my mouth again.
"Hey, it's a pity, I don't know if the fairy who likes me looks good or not, if it's good-looking, maybe I can consider it."
"Of course the fairy is good-looking, but aren't you married, why do you want to empathize so quickly, besides, the fairy doesn't like women's ......"
Hey, why don't you think it's answering a little wrong?
Lu Pianpian sighed faintly: "How do you know about my marriage?" ”
"Uh...... I'm guessing. ”
Lu Pian's eyes narrowed, but she suddenly grabbed the body of the thousand-year-old ginseng without warning, she pinched the thousand-year-old ginseng in the palm of her hand, and leaned closer and said: "Say, who are you, why did you bring me to this ginseng land, what is your purpose!" I don't think you're a thousand-year-old ginseng, you're a demon and a monster! If you don't tell me the truth, I'll eat you in one bite! ”
"Ah, help, let me go!"
The thousand-year-old ginseng was frantically pinched in the palm of Lu Pianpian's hand.
"If you don't say it, if you don't say it, I'll pick up your ginseng whisker!"
"Don't!"
"To say it or not to say it!"
Just as the two were talking, a familiar, milky voice came from Lu Pianpian's ear:
"Mother-"
'Whoosh', Lu Pianpian's consciousness quickly returned here from another world, she opened her eyes suddenly, only to find that it was dawn, and Xiao Ziming was sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at her with a worried face!
"Mother, you're awake, I heard them say that you were in a coma again last night, but what's wrong with you?"
Lu Pianpian showed a motherly smile, rubbed his little head and said, "It's not uncomfortable there, and it makes the little meat bun worry again." ”
At this time, a Xiaobi came from outside the screen, saluted respectfully, and said: "Queen Qiyu, the three concubines are waiting outside the palace early this morning, according to the rules, you should greet you, do you want to get up and wash?" ”
When Lu Pianpian heard this, she wrinkled her eyebrows.
After a while, her eyes flickered, she got up and took a fine piece of jewelry from the dresser, handed it to Xiaobi, and said, "First try to get rid of a few concubines, and talk to the palace about the identities of the four concubines in the harem, as well as the rules of the harem......"
"Xie Niangniang rewarded, and the slave maid went to persuade a few concubines to retire."
Xiaobi happily accepted the jewelry and walked out of the screen......
