Chapter 176: On the Taiji Palace
When Shen Shu heard the word "something", the whole person straightened his back unconsciously.
"Yes...... Tomorrow's holy thing? She asked, thoughtfully.
Chu Yi's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he said a faint "um", took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to her.
"When you enter the palace tomorrow, you will wear this jade in a conspicuous place, and the people in the palace will not dare to embarrass you when they see the jade pendant." He said with a tense face, his voice a little tense.
Shen Shu looked down at the jade pendant.
It is the size of her palm, white and translucent, and the hollow is carved with claw patterns.
It was in Qingfeng Ju that she was entrusted by the third prince to find something he wanted to carry with him, and he took it off his waist and asked her to give it to her.
Shen Shu still remembered that he had personally said that this was the only piece in the world, or a royal gift......
"Your Highness, this jade pendant is too valuable, the little girl really doesn't dare to accept it." She hurriedly excused herself.
Although King Yi is kind-hearted-
But with her reckless nature, if she loses this thing and drops it......
If there is anything wrong with this kind of royal gift, she will have to pay for her life.
Chu Yijian's eyebrows frowned slightly, his thin lips pursed, he directly grabbed her hand, stuffed the jade pendant into her palm, and firmly closed her palm.
"Let you wear it, the palace is no better than the outside, so as not to be hit by the minions who don't have long eyes, more than one thing is better than one less."
Shen Shu's hand was caught off guard by his rough palm, and he only felt that the place where the back of his hand met his palm was terrifyingly hot.
She was extremely uncomfortable and just wanted to run away.
"Good, good, good, I, I'll wear it."
She hurriedly said, twisted her hand, broke out of Chu Yi's palm, grabbed the jade pendant and took two steps back.
The heartbeat was inexplicably fast, and the ears were connected to the cheeks, and there was no reason for a hot sensation.
Only then did Chu Yi realize that his actions were abrupt.
The soft touch that remained in his palm made his heart tense for a while, and his head was a little hot.
At this moment, with Chu Yi's cultivation all along, he knew that he should say something "sorry" to accuse-
But when he saw the tips of Shen Shu's red ears, all the words of apology were pursed between his lips.
All that remained was a sudden burst of euphoria, and an indescribable throbbing.
He pursed his lips: "What if...... When my father asked, he said, "This is a gift from me to you to repay you for saving your life." β
Shen Shu was stared at by him like this, and she only felt like a net coming down from the top of her head, which made her feel a panic in her heart for no reason.
She hurriedly blessed herself: "This jade pendant is really valuable, Your Highness must not give it to the little girl." Just ...... Just as the little girl borrowed it from His Royal Highness, borrowed it for protection, and when she leaves the palace tomorrow, the little girl will return it to His Royal Highness. β
When Chu Yi heard "borrowing" and "repaying", it was like someone poured cold water on his heart.
The joy and throbbing were instantly poured out.
His face sank: "Then you can keep it alive, if you bump it even a little, don't return it to this king in this life!" β
After saying this, he turned around, and without even saying a word of farewell, he strode away.
Shen Shu looked at his back as he suddenly left angrily, and the heat on his cheeks and ears instantly cooled down.
She looked at the jade pendant in her hand and blinked.
This kind of priceless thing, even if it is bumped, cannot be returned......
Isn't this touching porcelain?
Could it be that the dignified god of war is short of money, and he knows that his family has a mine, so he is worried about it?
Shen Shu thought that they didn't even have a precious flower in the palace of King Yi, and Fei Yu gave her a shadow guard, and her mouth was a thousand taels......
At this moment, Shen Shu seemed to feel that she understood something.
β»
On the second day, Shen Shu got up early in the morning.
Huai'an specially sent a mother who came out of the palace to make up for Shen Shu and teach her the etiquette after entering the palace.
Shen Shu can understand the etiquette taught by her mother in the palace almost once.
Even Gong Bu can learn it as soon as he learns it.
Stay until the early dynasty is dispersed-
Shen Shu wore a dark cyan county lord's official uniform, tied around his waist with a few peaches made of clawed jade pendants given by Chu Yi, and was led by Zhou Jinxi, the great eunuch beside the emperor, to enter the palace from the Vermilion Bird Gate and go to the Taiji Palace.
Along the way, Shen Shu looked at her nose and nose, and her nose looked at her heart, and she walked as if she had been measured by a ruler.
Even Zhou Jinxi was surprised.
Although it was the first time for Shen Shu to take this road, he felt that he had described this road hundreds of times in his mind in his previous life.
Especially, when she stepped step by step in front of the Tai Chi Palace, the stone steps that were washed clean by the water.
When she walked to the door of the half-open Vermilion Hallβ
A strong sense of familiarity rose in Shen Shu's heart.
She, in a previous life, must have been here.
"Girl, watch out for the steps." Zhou Jin was happy to see Shen Shu's expression in a trance, and reminded him in time.
Shen Shu hurriedly came back to his senses, followed him, and walked into the Taiji Hall.
Although it is bright and sunny outside at the moment, the Taiji Hall is a little dim, and there are still some candles.
Ambergris incense rises from the gilded copper furnace and floats silently in the air.
Shen Shu smelled keenly, and there was a slight smell of medicine mixed with it.
"Ahem...... Cough...... Ahem......"
At the end of the main hall, on the couch behind the layers of bright yellow curtains, a bright yellow figure reclining on the pillow coughed lightly.
Shen Shu smelled the smell of medicine in her nose, and looked at the figure reclining on the couch in the distance-
In her mind, a picture came to mind.
In the picture, she is like this, holding a tray in her hand, following behind the eunuch, and walking towards the bright yellow figure step by step.
Thick potions, withered emperors, daggers studded with precious stones, and ...... Her blood.
These broken fragments suddenly came like snowflakes.
Every time Shen Shu took a step forward, the voice that had been hidden in her head for a long time became clearer and clearer.
"Your Majesty, the medicine and people are ready."
"It's Yunjiang's nine-turn soup, undoubtedly."
"Don't be afraid, come here."
ββ¦β¦ I won't hurt you. Rest assured, after tonight, I will make you the most honored woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, second only to my empress......"
This voice, listening to Shen Shu's ears, was like a life-threatening charm.
She was short of breath and her heart was pounding like a drum.
It's a past life.
She'd been here in a previous life.
I have been to this Taiji Palace, I have seen the emperor, and I have offered the Nine Turns of Yunjiang's Soul Rejuvenation Soup.
Still...... I made a medicine with her blood!
And then what?
"Your Majesty, the county lord of Anding has arrived."
Zhou Jinxi's voice interrupted Shen Shu's thoughts.
She hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Shen Shu, the county lord of Anding, meet Your Majesty." β
The words fell, but there was a long silence.
Shen Shu tensed her nerves, opened her eyes wide, looked at the golden dragon on the carpet with teeth and claws, and forced herself not to look at it, and not to continue to think about her "past life".
However, she was in this hall, and every detail she touched, every breath of air, was frantically awakening the memories in her mind.
"Ahem...... Cough...... Cough...... Flat. β
After a long silence, a hoarse and tired voice came from overhead, making Shen Shu's shoulders tremble slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Her back tensed and she stood up.
A majestic gaze looked at her from head to toe.
"Ahem...... Hmm......" The Emperor suppressed the cough in his throat and ordered, "Raise your head." β
Shen Shu's heart was shocked, she held her breath and raised her eyes......
