Chapter Seventy-Seven: Enemies Meet

"What?!"

In the Yukun Hall of the Middle Palace, Queen Zhou took the case, and the little palace maid who came to report immediately knelt on the ground, and even the center of gravity that was usually by Queen Zhou's side was startled.

"Queen Mother, Xiaoyun didn't lie at all."

"Niangniang, Xiaoyun used to be here with us, and she is Junzi's cousin, so I am very relieved." The center of gravity leaned on Queen Zhou's ear and whispered.

After listening to this, Queen Zhou looked at this girl named Xiaoyun again and nodded.

"You go down first, this palace knows. It's a good errand in the palace over there, don't run around if you have nothing to do. Junko mentioned you to the palace, if you are good over there, the palace will ask you to come to the Yukun Hall to serve. Empress Zhou returned to a calm tone and gave the center of gravity another look.

The center of gravity took out an official ingot from the lockbox in the inner room and handed it to Xiaoyun.

"This is the queen's mother who loves you, you have to be a good errand."

That Xiaoyun is a country girl, she is a Shunzi who has no talent in the family to enter the palace to join the queen, where have I seen this honest official ingot, and when I received it in the palm of my hand, I only felt that my heart was hot, and the words of the center of gravity were adjusted to be more obedient to Queen Zhou, and I would be more diligent in the future.

"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother." The little cloud kowtowed, and then withdrew.

Queen Zhou settled her mind and entered a bowl of fish maw and red bean soup before she came to her senses. Ponder carefully what Xiaoyun reported today.

"Gravity, how true do you think this Xiaoyun came to report?"

"Niangniang, I think it's ten, although Xiaoyun hasn't seen anything on the market, but she is honest with Shunzi, she and Shunzi have been married since childhood, if it weren't for Shunzi......" The center of gravity paused.

"Now that she has come to the palace to defect, it is you who have given permission to Shunzi and led her to the worship room, and the rough envoy has already promoted her, and now you have promoted her to serve in front of the main hall of Kang Palace, which is a great grace to her."

The center of gravity is not wrong at all, serving by the prince's side, the prince is the prince, the future emperor, one day the old emperor goes, the old and young in the East Palace, all the old and young are the old princes, and they are more noble than other slaves, that is, they are slaves for a lifetime, as long as they don't make mistakes, they can't eat, and the people have light.

Also, the young girls are assigned to the East Palace, and they look better, and they are accompanied by the prince every day, if they are favored by the prince and become a big girl in the room, or a concubine, then the local chicken will become a phoenix, and one day the prince will ascend the throne, and it is not difficult to get a name, and the family will turn over.

"If what Xiaoyun said is true, then ...... This Chen family is too presumptuous, and he doesn't even pay attention to the palace. Empress Zhou glared angrily.

"The queen mother, it's not the center of gravity to instigate right and wrong, this Chen family, I don't put the ladies in the palace in my eyes at all, relying on the love of the queen mother, she is naturally a lot more arrogant, and she is usually very frivolous."

"At the beginning, Xing'er's girl cinnabar was poisoned, but then it was over, and I am afraid it was also the queen mother's favoritism." The center of gravity brought up the old things again.

Empress Zhou nodded slightly. "This palace also felt strange at the beginning, but this palace has always disliked Xing'er, and if she is wronged, she will be wronged, but now Xiaoyun is concerned, she is also disrespectful to this palace behind her back, so it seems that the original cinnabar poison was not necessarily her own button."

"That's what the queen said. Listening to Xiaoyun, this Chen family also loses his temper in Jikang Palace every day, just because the prince has favored the Wang family since his wedding, and the Chen family is jealous. ”

"Humph! It's too childlike, and she deserves to be poisoned by herself! The most bitter thing in history is love poison. Since you can't let it go, let her suffer for the rest of her life! Empress Zhou said hatefully.

"The slave heard that Wang Zhen'er has been favored for a long time, and Chen's jealousy comes from a bottle of Persian essence called 'Desert Moon', saying that the prince likes the taste of that essence very much, so he favors Wang alone, which makes Chen's eyes red."

"The moon of the desert, the essence ......" the Queen Mother said silently, and she had already made a plan in her heart.

Queen Zhou waved her hand towards the center of gravity, and the center of gravity attached to the queen, nodding frequently.

"Queen Mother, slave maid, let Shunzi do it." The center of gravity is blessed, and I went to find a straight.

Within a few days, a bottle of fragrance that was more seductive than the fragrance in Wang Zhen'er's hand arrived in Chen Yiqing's hand, which was what she heard from the people in the palace, saying that it was a fragrance commonly used in the hands of Concubine Xian and Concubine De, and a fragrance that could collect men's hearts.

Chen Yiqing has always known that the virtuous concubine and the concubine De are long-lasting, each with its own means, and I have heard that what kind of fragrance and ointment are used, and I learned that there is a better fragrance than the two mothers, and she wants to compete with Wang Zhen'er for favor, so she will not let go, and she begged the family to buy a few bottles from the Persian caravan for daily use.

This fragrance is called "Persian Moon". Chen Yiqing has been greatly favored by the prince since she got this essence, and Chen is overjoyed, and regards this fragrance as a treasure, not only wiping it all over the body, but also dropping a few drops in the incense burner when the prince is lucky, and the prince's round house is more enjoyable, but he is more and more dependent on this incense.

-------------------------------------

In the blink of an eye, autumn goes to winter, and the last residual wind of autumn has almost swept away the leaves on the trees, and before you know it, winter has already quietly arrived.

There is not much difference between the imperial city in winter and spring, summer, autumn and winter, but in this early winter, except for the prince, the princes are not in the capital.

For the sake of the Great Xia and the surrounding countries, the eternal repair alliance is good, and a grand event is scheduled to be held in the autumn of two years in the capital of Great Xia

In order to show the sincerity of the reconciliation between Bactria and other countries, the princes divided into six routes, went to the surrounding countries to send alliance posts, invited the royal families of various countries, and gathered in Bactria two years later. Even the sick six princes were also sent out, which shows the sincerity of Emperor Yude.

The princes are not there, the palace is inevitably deserted, but there are a lot of concerns, the ladies want their sons, but they were born in the royal family, the society is important, and the second is the affection of the children, which is also extremely helpless.

Jinhua since living in the pear flower garden, never went out once, today, there is a virtuous concubine Niangniang of the palace to send someone to pass the word, Niangniang in the western suburbs of the royal garden for the winter, today is very tired, please Jinhua girl over to relieve boredom.

Xian Guifei, since Jinhua entered the palace, she has taken care of her in every way, she entered the Shen Criminal Division because of the cinnabar poison, and it was also Xian Guifei who bought it, so that she suffered a lot less, and now Xian Guifei sincerely came to invite, where did she have a reason to refuse.

The reason why Jinhua was able to agree was mostly because the virtuous concubine was in another garden, and if she walked in the palace, she would presumably Jinhua would not want to die.

The servants of the Yinghua Palace prepared a carriage outside the palace gate and waited for Jinhua and others to come out, but Jinhua did not bring others, only Xia Li.

Xia Li is the most mysterious of the four pears, she doesn't know how to serve people, and she doesn't do it, often the dragon sees the head but not the end, but she is good at martial arts, every time Mama Yuchun goes out to choose a small play, or a tour of the mountains and rivers, she takes her to escort her.

Today, Xia Li and Jinhua went out of the palace to meet the virtuous concubine, and it was also sent by Yuchun's grandmother, I am afraid that there will be changes on Jinhua Road.

Jinhua, who has been hidden in the Pear Flower Garden, wants to live and steal his life, as soon as he leaves the Pear Flower Garden today, he is careful everywhere, and he doesn't want to cause trouble anymore, but things often backfire.

Jinhua went to the royal palace in the western suburbs to accompany the virtuous concubine, saying that it was a companion, but in fact, the virtuous concubine had a miscarriage, and Jinhua was a self-conscious person and came to take care of it.

It is said that the miscarriage of the virtuous concubine is really artificial. Originally, she was only pregnant for more than two months, and the fetus had not yet sat firmly, so the two sons of the fifth prince and the seventh prince were out of Beijing, and it was inevitable that she was worried and depressed all day, and in desperation, the queen mother sent a decree and allowed her to come to the Tangquan Palace in the western suburbs to raise the fetus, because there are hot springs in this Tangquan Palace, and the climate in the palace is much warmer.

But Concubine Xiangui is still pregnant, and now she has to be raised in Tangquan Palace. After a long time, she became more depressed, and Lianxin thought about finding a few reliable people to accompany Concubine Xian, and now she thought of Jinhua.

In the blink of an eye, Jinhua came to Tangquan Palace for more than half a month, and today's virtuous concubine was calmer, so Jinhua was free and took a good walk in this western suburb garden.

This garden is built on the mountain, most of the scenery in the garden is based on the natural landscape, and it is not deliberately fenced, and even heard that there are often people who enter by mistake, but most of the people are kind, and they also go after the feather forest is driven away.

Jinhua walked, and the main palace complex of Tangquan Palace became farther and farther away, and there was only Xia Li beside him. Not far away, there is a small mound, on the mound there is a viewing pavilion with a wide view, Jinhua and Xia Li climbed up.

"Little master, be careful."

Xia Li stretched out his hand to her, and Jinhua handed Rouyi to her palm. The moment the two hands touched, Xia Li had a feeling of electric shock. This little master's is so soft, so comfortable to hold, and warm, Xia Li thought to herself.

The mound was not high, and Banzhuxiang climbed to the viewing pavilion, but when he came up, he surprised the two of them.

It's hard to imagine, the royal garden is indeed different from the ordinary garden, the ground of this pavilion is warm, there is a fire below and there is a screen on the pavilion to block the northwest wind, there is a bookcase in front of the screen, the above study room is complete, and there is a small stove on the bookcase, which is specially designed for moistening the pen.

And on a round table in the center of the pavilion, a guqin and a set of piano scores were placed. On the left side of the screen, there is a small shelf, on which there are several colors of dried fruits, snacks, tea sets, etc., next to the shelf, there is a small stove, and a pot of pear soup is hung on the road.

"Xia Li, look, there is a bit of Ruifeng Pavilion here."

Jinhua said, looking at Xia Li, who didn't change much in expression. Jinhua sat down in front of the guqin and began to pluck the strings gently.

"Xia Li, do you have a favorite tune, I'll talk to you." Jinhua smiled.

Xia Li stood aside and looked at Jinhua, who was peaceful and gentle, and had a good mood, as if she had a different mood, she didn't feel much on weekdays, why did she feel that the little master was becoming more and more beautiful today.

"Where does the slave and maid know what tunes, the little master is willing to talk to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will listen to it." Xia Li scratched the back of her head.

Xia Li is dressed today as usual, neatly dressed, although the clothes are similar to other palace maids, the cuffs are pierced, the hem of the clothes is shorter, the trousers are also wrapped around the leg straps, and the shoes are not embroidered shoes, but boots.

Jinhua looked at the surrounding scenery, only to see the water flowing out of Tangquan Palace, forming a pond, and a group of wild ducks were playing on the pond, Jinhua smiled slightly.

"Xia Li, look at those wild ducks, then I'll play a song "Jackdaw Playing in the Water", but this crow is not another duck, it's just that we can play it for fun."

Xia Li nodded and didn't speak, closed his eyes, and quietly waited for Jinhua to play.

Jinhua's fingertips fell on the strings, at first the tune was still peaceful, it felt like a calm water, and then the tune fluctuated a little, as if something broke the calm lake, and the more you went to the back, the more cheerful the music became, and then the tune returned to calm and soothing.

At the end of the song, the string in Jinhua's hand broke. Kite's! With a sound, Xia Li quickly opened her eyes. I saw that Jinhua was no longer on the chair, but leaned against the pillar to catch the snowflakes.

It's the first snow of the year again......
