Chapter 2 The human heart is unpredictable, and the storm is coming
Liu He already had palpitations, and when he saw Huo Qilin's long sword, his heartbeat accelerated sharply, and he only promised: "Isn't the widow preparing to go?" Why did the general move so much? ”
"Your Majesty, the country is easy to get and difficult to defend, and now it is the time when the old and new masters are changing, chaos is rampant, and people's hearts are unstable. Inside, various forces are ready to move, especially the many forces that supported King Yanwu before; Outside, there are constant wars on the frontier. Your Majesty should make every effort to be prepared for danger in times of peace, reorganize the country, and support the community, so that the world will return to the heart, and the people's will is what it wants. ”
While Huo Qilin was chattering, Sima Daiyuan took advantage of the convenience of changing Liu He's clothes and whispered in his ear: "Yesterday, the imperial doctor came to report, and Sima Beauty was happy again." ”
When Liu He heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he said to Huo Qilin, who was a few steps away: "What the general said is extremely true, the widow must forget to sleep and eat, and do his best to benefit the society of the country and the people of the world. ”
"Your Majesty is wise." Huo Qilin couldn't help but slap his ass when he heard Liu He's words.
Liu He said in a consultative tone: "It's just - this is the queen's bedroom, the general, you are a foreign minister, if you stay here for too long, you are afraid of provoking criticism and tarnishing the general's reputation of being bright and upright." Why don't the generals move outside the hall and wait for the widow to tidy up their clothes. ”
At this moment, he doesn't have the majesty of the Son of Heaven, if it weren't for the bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon on his body, then he would really be a bit like a courtier who bowed down to Huo Qirin.
"Wechen retires!" When Huo Qilin heard this, he did not hesitate to bow down and withdraw from the dormitory.
When Liu He saw Huo Qilin withdraw from the hall, he said sharply to Sima Daiyuan beside him: "The widow doesn't want to see her again, and wants her to disappear completely, the queen, you won't be reluctant, right?" ”
"Why did Your Majesty say this, Your Majesty is the heaven of the concubines, for Your Majesty, the concubines can be enemies of the world, go to the soup and fire, and never give up. Who dares to block His Majesty's way, the concubine will be a god to block the gods, and the Buddha will block **, not to mention a half-sister of a demon girl. Sima Dai's eyes were murderous, there was no trace of emotion in her tone, and she lowered her eyebrows to tie a white jade belt for Liu He.
"There is no one who can be called a widow like the queen, then this matter will be handled by the queen herself." Liu He lowered his arms, pinched Sima Daiyuan's jaw with his hand, and lifted her bewitching face slightly.
Liu He had a cold smile on his face, but his eyes were full of evil.
Sima Daiyuan's body twitched involuntarily, and she opened her lips slightly and sighed. After a while, she frowned slightly and said, "But-Your Majesty, if Sima Meiren dies, Liu Liyue will have no restraints there." ”
Liu He sneered, hugged Sima Daiyuan into his arms, bowed his head and put his lips close to Sima Daiyuan's ear and said: "Queen, you are too worried, at this moment, Liu Liyue is probably already waiting for her on Huangquan Road, you can rest assured." Okay, I won't say much, the widow has to deal with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and come back to see the queen in the evening. ”
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the hall. Sitting on the lifting luan when he came outside the dormitory, he walked towards the gate of Fengqi Palace surrounded by eunuchs and Huo Qirin.
The summer sun is really vicious, shining everywhere nail head phosphorus, very dazzling, if it is not for the canopy above his head, this way, I am afraid he will have to sweat like rain. He reclined on the luan, which rose and fell up and down, but it aroused his sleepiness, and he simply closed his eyes and took a nap.
Sima Daiyuan followed closely behind, sent him outside the door of the dormitory, bowed down and watched him out of the gate of Fengqi Palace before turning back into the palace.
The palace ladies who were waiting entered the inner hall with her. Seeing that the inner hall was full of wolves, the palace maids hurriedly bent over and bent down to clean up.
She sat on the carved low stool in front of the dresser, looked at her unkempt makeup and haggard self in the bronze mirror, and stroked the scattered hair with her slender jade hand, and said sonorously: "Jade, put on makeup in a bun." ”
The jade who was squatting on the ground heard the sound and responded: "Yes, Queen Mother." She hurriedly handed over the sandalwood brocade box in her hand to another palace maid, and walked quickly behind Sima Daiyuan.
Another palace maid stood beside her with a plate of jade ornaments, and there were hostas, jade grates, jade plate flowers, and jade earrings neatly placed on the plate, and even the crested hairpin was finely carved with pure jade.
Now that it has already entered summer, jade can make people feel cool, so summer women's hair accessories are mainly jade jewelry. After autumn and winter, they will change to warm gold and silver hair accessories.
Jade picked up the peach comb on the dresser, skillfully combed Sima Daiyuan's jet-black hair, and said softly: "What kind of bun do you want to comb today?" ”
"Lingyun bun." She blurted out without even thinking about it.
can finally make Sima Guansheng disappear completely, she wants Sima Guansheng to see, she is the queen of the world, and she Sima Guansheng is nothing, and she is not worthy of the surname Sima at all. Of course, in order to repay the hatred of winning love back then, her mother has never been able to get rid of the title of concubine.
Jade quickly combed her hair in a bun, put the jade ornaments on her plate on top of her towering bun, put on her makeup, and changed her into a floor-length dress as she wished.
Towering bun, crystal clear hair accessories, snow-white makeup, a light gauze embroidered skirt, plus she was already quite delicate, and she smiled, like a fluttering fairy.
She stood in front of the bronze mirror, and admired herself.
After Jade finished her work, she put her hands up and down to her right waist, bowed down and bent her knees and said, "Niangniang, it's almost noon, the slave maid will let them pass the meal?" ”
She brushed her sleeves and turned around, the smile on her face stopped abruptly, and said sharply: "Bei Lift Luan, call a few capable eunuchs, and accompany the palace to the Unloading Palace." ”
"Niangniang, the Unloading Feather Palace is a place to hide filth and dirt, and you don't see the sun all year round, Niangniang, you are so golden, I'm afraid of polluting your eyes and hurting the health of the phoenix."
Sima Daiyuan's wide sleeves floated across Jade's face, followed by a crisp slap.
Her apricot eyes widened, and she said angrily: "When will it be your turn to be the master of this palace?" ”
Seeing her angry, Jade quickly knelt on the ground, trembling with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare, the mother is angry, the mother is angry." ”
"If you don't know how to distinguish the appearance and color, why don't you do it?"
"Yes, the slave and maid will go immediately." Jade received the decree, got up from the ground, and withdrew from the inner hall in response, and hurriedly ordered the eunuchs waiting at the door to hurry up and prepare for Luan.
Not long after, Sima Daiyuan sat on the lifting luan prepared for her, followed by dozens of eunuchs and palace maids, passing through the palace roads, and walking in the direction of the Unloading Feather Palace.
The Unloading Feather Palace, as the name suggests, means to pull out the feathers, which is the legendary Cold Palace.
In this high wall and deep palace, thousands of charming women are like birds locked in golden wire cages. When you are favored, you will be loved by thousands of people; When it falls out of favor, it fades away from its glorious halo, just like a wild bird and pheasant that plucks its feathers, and there is not much difference. This is also the origin of the name of the palace of the feather removal palace - a palace that exists to pluck feathers.
