At that time, the palace of Qi was divided into such ranks, the son of heaven was called the emperor, and the wife was called the queen. The emperor has one queen, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one female queens. After the palace is in the palace, the same body of the emperor, the three ladies sit on the women's ceremony, the nine concubines teach the four virtues, the women of the world are mourning, sacrifices, guests, and the female royal order is in the king's swallow bed.

When the emperor's wife "Empress Zhengde" died in the early years, so the competition for the back position in the harem has been very strong over the years, and now the most powerful is the three ladies headed by the head, and now the one who punishes Bai Ruoxi is Mrs. Yu, one of the three dignified ladies. If you really compare, Lady Jade is the most dignified and virtuous of the three. And Mrs. Ya and Mrs. Mei, who are in the same position as her, are also good at it, and everyone has their own ability to take care of the house, but the fundamental reason why Mrs. Yu can really grow in the harem is because she has a good son, the eldest prince - Wei Cheng.

According to the rules of the Qi State in the past dynasties, the mother is expensive by the son, so Mrs. Yu is the best candidate for the posterior, logically speaking, after the death of the succession, she should be the queen, but the emperor has a deep love for succession, and he has never mentioned the intention of establishing the queen for more than ten years.

So I'm going to be finished this time, right? Ruoxi straightened out these rules and regulations in her stomach, and finally came to this conclusion.

It's okay to find a way to escape from the clutches of Kailaifu, otherwise if she continues to toss like this, her small body should cross the crane west in a few days, and she will die.

"Your Highness! She woke up. There seemed to be someone talking next to him, Ruoxi opened his eyes, and suddenly felt that the sun was dazzling, and it was already three poles of the sun.

Bao Yan sat on the small stool, stared at her carefully, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw her eyes move. Beside him, in the backlight, a tall figure slowly twisted around, holding something in his hand.

"What? Willing to wake up? Under Wei Sa's pair of sword eyebrows, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable look, Ruoxi looked at it fixedly, and then she saw clearly, it turned out that Wei Sa had a pair of honey-colored eyes, which seemed to have two active springs, clear, calm, and reflected the brilliance of a thousand kinds of glass.

Wei Sa stretched out his palm and shook it in front of her eyes, "Still can't you see clearly?" Or did you burn it all night and burn it stupidly? ”

Ruoxi grinned, pulled the wound, and took a breath of cool air, "The little one can see it, but the little one didn't come back to his senses because he saw the peerless face of the Third Highness." ”

"Sycophants!" Bao Yan made an unbridled accusation next to him, and Ruoxi heard it clearly and laughed awkwardly twice.

Wei Sa didn't think so, sat beside her, leaned up to look at her face, poked and poked here and there, and pressed that side, Ruoxi screamed in pain. "Well, the recovery is good, this quack doctor didn't lie to me." It was only at this time that Ruoxi realized that his face was really not as painful as yesterday, and he didn't feel so hot anymore, so he reached out and touched his face in surprise, it was slippery, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Wei Sa looked at her with crooked eyebrows, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, nothing." Ruoxi hurriedly lowered his head, and suddenly remembered that he should have spent the night here last night, so he had to thank others, and he was about to kowtow to him on the bed when he got up, but was held down by Wei Sa, "Okay, okay, don't come to this set of vain." Your Highness saved you, tell me how you plan to repay me. ”

"Return?" Ruoxi blinked, her face was full of sorrow, and even her eyebrows were twisted together, and her unswelled ugliness was very funny, "The little one is a cow and a horse for you?" ”

"No, I have cattle and horses here."

"Then, the little one still has two taels of silver savings, all of which are filial to your old man?"

"What about you who asked for food?"

"Small...... Small ......"

"You don't really have anything, do you? Why don't you make a promise directly to each other like this? Wei Sa easily threw out this sentence.

Ruoxi was so shocked that he jumped twice in a row, and his speech stumbled, "Small, small ugly, clumsy, clumsy, clumsy, monkey brain, where is worthy of your old man's graceful demeanor, a talent, a high eight buckets, and a rich five-car ......"

"If you say one more word, I'll throw you out of here and leave you with nowhere to return." Wei Sa still looked at her so indifferently.

Ruoxi swallowed her saliva and muttered quietly, "It's a big deal that I'll go back to Xin's room." ”

"You think you still have somewhere to go?" Bao Yan really couldn't stand this ugly girl chewing on the root of her tongue in front of her, chattering, "Madame Jade has already swept you out of the Evergreen Palace!" If it weren't for the Third Highness taking you in, you would have slept in the kitchen a long time ago! ”

"Ahh Ruoxi blinked her eyes, looking at Wei Sa in front of her very innocently and pitifully.

"What? Know how grateful you are? ”

Ruoxi nodded like pounding garlic, and her huge swollen face dangled around, "Your Royal Highness, your old man's kindness to the small one is remembered in your heart, and you will never forget it, after returning to your hometown, the small one will definitely give you a living shrine, three incense sticks every day, and buy fresh fruits for the New Year's festival to honor your old man." ”

"Back home?"

"Yes, the little one has nowhere to go, so I have to return to my hometown, plant three acres of land, raise chickens, ducks and geese, honestly find someone to marry me, and then give birth to a baby and raise him to wait for him to give me a pension." The more Ruoxi talked, the more miserable she became, and she was about to shed tears in the end.

Wei Sa clapped his hands beside him, "Baoyan, do you think what I said is wrong?" ”

Bao Yan sighed and looked at his master with admiration, "Your Highness, what you said is so true, this woman has a devilish stomach and doesn't even have a draft when she tells lies." ”

"Where am I lying?"

"You just said that you went back to farming, raising chickens and ducks, I asked you that your family is gone, where can you go to farm and get married? Besides, in addition to the mercy of His Royal Highness, who is willing to look at you a few more times? ”

Ruoxi touched her face and retorted unwillingly, "Is it that ugly?" Immediately, she struck a spirit, and looked at Wei Sa in surprise, "Third Highness, you, how do you know that I have nothing left at home?" You, you investigate me? ”

"In such a small place as your hometown, do you still need to investigate? Just send two people to take a look and you will know, that Xinglin Mountain is already empty, there is nothing, hey, I said, are you making up a place to deceive Your Highness? There are no people in a radius of ten miles. Bao Yan unceremoniously shouted accusations.

Wei Sa stood beside her with her shoulders crossed, looking at her eyebrows jumping and jumping, it was very interesting to see, "This point, you don't want to say it, forget it, but there is another thing that I care about." ”

"What can make His Highness care must be a big thing, and the small one is willing to share His Highness's worries." Ruoxi said it very doggly.

With a backhand, Wei Sa's palm was a little more stuffy, Ruoxi leaned up to look at it, and at a glance recognized that it was the small flat spoon that Ning Xiang used when she gave her medicine yesterday, and her heart suddenly cooled, her face did not show it, and she asked in wonder, "What is this?" ”

"I really don't know?"

"I don't know."

Wei Sa looked at her for a while, hooked the curvature of his lips, and threw the spoon away, "I don't know, forget it, in short, if you don't want your ugly face to be completely disfigured, stay away from that person." This sentence is a point to remember, it is only good for you, and there is no harm. Ruoxi said yes again and again.

After sending Wei Sa and Baoyan away, Ruoxi sat down on the bed, looking at the flat spoon on the ground that was discarded by Wei Sa, and was speechless for a while. She suddenly thought that it didn't matter if she was expelled from the Evergreen Palace, but she still had things in the hut where she lived, and she couldn't do with them, but that kind of thing couldn't be discarded. Thinking of this, Ruoxi got up quickly, quickly put on her shoes, tore the hem of a dress and wrapped it around her face, and went out.

She walked the road to the Evergreen Hall hundreds of times, and she was already familiar with the road, because it was daytime, and the people were busy in the front hall, so she didn't meet anyone else along the way.

The pale green temple was in front of him, Ruoxi hurriedly quickened his pace, and saw that his hut was in a mess, all the valuable things were gone, and the worthless things were discarded everywhere, Ruoxi didn't care, he climbed on the bed and knelt on the bed board and knocked the bed carefully, touched a protruding place, and was happy, and quickly lifted the straw mattress, and sure enough, the small package that he brought out when he left was still intact there.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, Ruoxi got his things and immediately jumped out of bed and left the Evergreen Palace. It's just that what she didn't expect was how bad her luck was today, on the way back, she was not as lucky as when she came, at a secluded turn, several unknown people were waiting for her arrival with their pockets open.

***

"Your Highness, you just came out of there and want to go back?" Bao Yan asked, following behind Wei Sa.

Wei Sa nodded, put down the book in his hand, and looked at the brilliant lights in the hall, the dancing girl swaying, and the extravagant aroma of the house could not match the faint fragrance between the lingering lips and teeth that day, as if he was enchanted, these days he would always recall the chance encounter next to the rockery that day.

Thinking about it, his hand inadvertently touched the coldness in his sleeve, and the corners of his lips gradually became dyed with a warm smile. It seems that this jade pendant is very important to her.

Bao Yan looked at the smile of his master, and a storm broke out in his heart: Could it be that His Highness really had a heart for that ugly ghost?

"Your Highness, this is the information of everyone who has lived in Xinglin Mountain in the past ten years, please take a look." Someone brought the letter and put it on the wine table in front of him.

After swallowing a mouthful of jasper elixir, he was about to open it to see, when he heard the little guy outside the door singing loudly, "Your Highness has arrived!" ”

Wei Sa's hand holding the wine glass did not move, Bao Yan had already removed the letter on the case, put it in his arms, and picked up the wine jug to fill Wei Sa's empty wine glass.

The consistent movements are like flowing water, and when I look at it again, the merry prince is already drunk, and he reaches out and grabs a dancing girl into his arms and flirts wantonly.

The eldest prince Wei Cheng looked at the luxury and charm inside the palace, drunk and golden, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed a satisfied look, when his feet stepped into the hall, his face was already replaced by a kind smile of the model brother, "The third brother is so blessed, but I am very busy." ”

"Big brother?" Wei Sa called out in a daze, without the slightest intention of letting go of the dancing girl in his hand, bent one leg and put his arm up, "You came just in time, I have wine and beauties here to entertain you." ”

Wei Cheng smiled slightly, old and gentle, and shook his head, "Singing and indulging in wine during the day, this kind of Yanfu is not something I can have, I came to tell you something." ”

"What to talk to the second brother, I'm here to talk about Fengyue." Wei Sa was drunk, and from beginning to end of his conversation with Wei Cheng, he was in a generous posture, and he didn't even get up to greet him at the most basic.

Wei Cheng was obviously used to his presumptuous madness, so he didn't care at all, and still smiled gently, "Third brother, you still dismissed these dancing girls and listened to me." ”

Speaking of which, Wei Sa didn't care about it, so he reluctantly spread his hand and slapped his palm twice, and the dancers withdrew one after another.

"I don't know, third brother, have you heard of Xinglin Mountain recently?" Wei Cheng got straight to the point, and the purpose of the roll call was made.

"Xinglin Mountain?" Wei Sa frowned and asked puzzledly, "What is that place?" ”

Wei Cheng smiled lightly, as if with a little contempt, "Not long ago, two thieves were caught in the capital, and after investigation, these two people came from Xinglin Mountain. ”
