Chapter 21: Discovery
This Xia He, although she is her slave, is very rebellious, and she is only loyal to Li Yuankang at all.
Zhu Ajiao didn't have a single trustworthy slave by her side at this time, and she suddenly wanted to recover Xia He and Mo Xiang.
Mo Xiang seems to listen to Xia He for everything.
As long as Xia He is recovered, Mo Xiang will be no problem.
Pretending to be stupid, you can escape for a while, but you can't escape for a lifetime.
So, Zhu Ajiao put her hand into her mouth and said, "Then you can help me go to the nunnery to walk around." β
"Okay." This time, Xia He couldn't refuse, "So, what about Moxiang?" β
"Mo Xiang, you stay and make Baiwei Pills for Miss Zhu." Xia He said, "Baiwei pills can regulate qi and stomach, increase appetite, and promote digestion, which is more suitable for girls." β
Zhu Ajiao sneered in her heart, fighting with her for medical skills, wouldn't she look for death?
Baiwei pills, she will also make them, but she rarely eats them. Because, the taste of Bailla pills is very unpleasant.
However, Zhu Ajiao pretended to know nothing and followed Xia He out.
The nunnery is very quiet, and there are not many nuns. It is said that these nuns are all old palace maids who have retired more, and some are the daughters of criminal ministers, who have no distractions and see through the red dust, and invite themselves into the palace as nuns.
Because it is in the palace, there are guards guarding the nunnery, and outsiders cannot enter.
Zhu Ajiao walked and walked, and suddenly, her foot twisted, "It hurts." β
Xia He said, "Miss Zhu, then I'll help you go back." β
"It's all out, and you won't let me sit for a while? Go back and get me the medicine. I just love sitting here. Zhu Ajiao refused.
Xia He will only go back to get the bandaging medicine.
Zhu Ajiao hurriedly walked into the lobby.
After going around just now, Zhu Ajiao has memorized the terrain.
She knew that it was in this place that the nunnery's Jingxu Master meditated.
Last night, the master who was talking to the emperor had the same Buddhist beads wrapped around her arm as the queen mother had worn before.
The reason why Zhu Ajiao recognized it was because the Buddha beads worn by the Queen Mother were not ordinary, they were polished by the Pearl of the East China Sea, and there was only one in the entire Great Chu Dynasty.
The pearl of the East China Sea, at night, in the dark, will shine.
Yesterday, Zhu Ajiao also saw the blue halo on the fingers of that teacher.
Therefore, Zhu Ajiao can be sure that this is Mrs. Jingxu.
The Queen Mother once revealed that her Buddha beads, Mrs. Jingxu, also have one.
As soon as I turned in, I heard the sound of a wooden fish beating inside.
Zhu Ajiao saw that a woman in a golden robe was beating the wooden fish with her eyes closed, and there were words in her mouth.
The light is dim, and I can't see what she looks like, but there is a blue light on my fingers!
"Who?" The woman's ears were very sensitive and she stood up.
Zhu Ajiao knew that she couldn't hide, so she walked out.
When the woman saw Zhu Ajiao, she was very surprised.
"Are you...... Miss Zhu? She was stunned, "Why are you here?" β
Zhu Ajiao was also very strange, "Master Jingxu knows me too much?" β
The woman took a step back, and her whole person was immersed in darkness, "Yes, I'm Master Jingxu, Miss Zhu, you are not familiar with this nunnery, it is better not to walk around alone, so as not to lose and hurt yourself." β
"No, no, Master Jingxu, this nunnery is so small, I won't get lost. I just wanted to ask you, have you seen Uncle Emperor? I'm afraid of the emperor's uncle, he said that he would come to me today, so I didn't see him. And nothing good. Zhu Ajiao casually made up nonsense and said tentatively.
"What? The emperor is still coming today? "The wooden fish in the hand of Master Jingxu fell to the ground.
"Yes, Master Jingxu looks like she's afraid of the emperor." Zhu Ajiao picked up a wooden fish at random, knocked on it, and said with a smile, "What does Mrs. Shi think of Uncle Emperor?" β
"You...... Miss Zhu, don't talk about our saints! "Jingxu Master is too anxious, "Be careful that the wall has ears!" β
Zhu Ajiao said: "Just say the emperor, just say it!" Don't let me say, don't you like the emperor? β
"Miss Zhu! Don't talk nonsense! Now, how did you become like this! The Jingxu Master suddenly became emotional, rushed out of the darkness, and covered Zhu Ajiao's mouth!
Zhu Ajiao saw it clearly this time, this Jingxu Master is not old, about her mother's age, but her face is pitted, and she seems to be very ugly.
So ugly, how could the emperor like her?
And what I heard before, the conversation between the emperor and the master was clearly that the emperor was still obsessed with her.
"Hey, if you don't say it, you won't say it. So what do you do? By the way, do you know me? Zhu Ajiao opened Master Jingxu's hand and said, "You definitely know me, don't you?" β
Master Jingxu lowered his head too weakly, "No, I don't know you. β
"Really?" Zhu Ajiao looked directly into Mrs. Jingxu's eyes, trying to search for this person from her memory.
However, Master Jingxu is too ugly and ugly, Zhu Ajiao can't see her true face at all, even if she has seen it before, she naturally can't find a memory.
"Who's making a fuss here?" Suddenly, a voice like a silver bell rang out.
Zhu Ajiao was stunned and looked back.
A well-proportioned girl, wearing a plain hairpin on her head, a brown crane on a white background, and a tender yellow dress inside, with a serious and virtuous face.
"See Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess." Master Jingxu immediately saluted.
Seven princesses?
Zhu Ajiao stood still.
In the memory of the original owner, this seventh princess helped her when she was a child.
At that time, the eighth princess bullied Zhu Ajiao, and the seventh princess pulled away the eighth princess and said, "Eighth sister, you are like this, have you forgotten what the teacher taught?" Do not bully the weak. β
The eighth princess left unconvinced.
Zhu Ajiao naturally remembered it.
In the days when she was helpless, so many people took advantage of the danger, and there were not many people who sent charcoal in the snow.
The Seven Princesses are one of them.
It has always been easy to put the icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.
"Jingxu Master is too good." The seventh princess saluted very politely, and her eyes fell on Zhu Ajiao, "Why do you come in and out here at will?" β
There was a reprimand in the words.
The emperor originally had many princesses, but five of the twelve princesses died and married one, and the seventh princess was more sensible than others at a young age, and there was no queen constraints, and there was often chaos in the harem, so the seventh princess often took the initiative to reprimand and educate a few younger sisters.
It often comes across as not being angry and arrogant.
Zhu Ajiao didn't mind, and said with a smile: "What's your name?" My name is Gillian. β
"Bold! Where can you ask about the name of our princess? The palace maid beside the seventh princess scolded angrily.
The seventh princess waved her hand, signaled the palace maid to shut up, and said, "You are Gillian?" The fiancΓ©e of the crown prince's brother? β
Zhu Ajiao nodded, "How do you recognize me?" β
