An identity like star fruit is naturally not qualified to see the queen. Therefore, even if she entered the door of Kunning Palace, she did not meet the queen in the end.

But Kunning Palace does things, and there are many rules and regulations than the East Palace.

An old lady met with star fruit, and after a basket of polite words, she took star fruit to see the parrots under the porch. Originally, it was quite pleasant to watch, but a parrot suddenly shouted 'slut' at the star fruit.

was scolded by the birds, star fruit was a little stunned, and subconsciously looked at the old mama.

Mama seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly called the little eunuch who raised birds to come over and teach a lesson: "What kind of nonsense is this, if you don't know the severity of it in front of the mother, how many heads will you have been cut off?" ”

The little eunuch confessed again and again, but in the end he said with a bitter face: "It's not that the slave is not dedicated, it's that this little beast doesn't know how to lift." A Xianfu palace captured her husband before, and then it became this virtue. Xianfu Palace felt bored after hearing about it, and suffocated the parrot yesterday, but this is only what the queen likes, and the slave is really ......"

The old lady seemed to have made a difficulty, so she turned her head and asked the star fruit: "The beasts don't know how to lift, but they want to implicate the people on the side to suffer." If it is ordinary, it will be over if you twist the neck of this beast, but it will enter the eyes of the mother, and you will be afraid that the mother will be sad if you kill her. Madame, you are an outsider, how can you see how this thing can be completed? ”

What kind of parrot beast, isn't this just to talk about star fruit and Joan?

Carambola felt a little uncomfortable, and replied in a muffled voice: "The nobles in the palace have important matters, and the women dare not intervene indiscriminately." In the eyes of the nobles, what they see is just a plaything, and they can naturally dispose of it as they want! ”

"Isn't this just a plaything? If it weren't for the queen's mother, it would have become someone else's meal, how could you come to the palace to enjoy the blessings? This honor, it is all given by the masters, if you don't know how to lift, let alone not go back to the broken forest where it used to stay, I'm afraid that it won't be enough to take your own life. ”

Carambola pursed her lips and didn't speak, in this palace where anyone can cut off her head, there is no part for her to speak. Since the queen wants to beat, then she will finish speaking, anyway, whether she wants to listen or not must be listened to in the end.

The grandmother waited for a long time and didn't wait for the star fruit to answer, a cold light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he turned his head and ordered the little eunuch: "It's these bastard masters, you can't listen to it, since you can't teach it well, then kill it." ”

The little eunuch sang a promise, and in front of the two of them, he twisted the parrot's neck with his hand.

"Xianfu Palace is in a hurry, and the mother's face is not good-looking. Even a few beasts dare to provoke the relationship between the two houses? The old lady looked very inward, glanced at the star fruit secretly, and said: "In order to prevent the mother from being angry, all the parrots in our palace will be killed." Save the mother from seeing it again. ”

Carambola endured the unhappiness in her heart, lowered her head and didn't listen or look.

She thought it would be better, but since people had made up their minds to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, how could they let her escape from it?

The queen likes parrots, and there are naturally many parrots in Kunning Palace. The little eunuchs were busy for a while, and it didn't take long for a large box of parrots to come over. Looking at that, there were fifty or sixty of them.

Mama didn't blink, and directly ordered: "Break your neck, don't let them scream to make the mother angry." ”

"Mama, just rest assured." As the eunuch spoke, he had already started his hand.

I don't know what method he used, but when he wrung a parrot, he couldn't make a sound. Star fruit was chilling in her heart, and her body was full of goosebumps.

Mama suddenly took her hand and said with a smile: "Madame, do you want to give it a try, it scolded you, and you should also want her life." ”

"Wherever you go, you ......"

Looking at the smile on Mama's face, the star fruit felt straight hair. She unconsciously broke away from the old woman's hand, took a step back and said, "The woman is timid, forget it." ”

Someone moved a chair out, and the old lady pulled the star fruit to sit. Regardless of whether the star fruit is willing or not, he said to himself: "Some people are not as good as the birds in this palace. Jumped out of the small village, but still hid in the well like an old toad. I don't know how thick the sky is, but I think that I have grown a great ability. ”

As she spoke, she looked at the star fruit, and the star fruit didn't want to give her a good face, so she lowered her head and didn't look at her.

"Madame is a person who understands, tell me if this is the reason? If it weren't for His Majesty's willingness to promote and appreciate, let alone say whether he could win the champion, or if he had already become an official, he would have to go home and farm if he wanted him to go home to farm? ”

Star fruit was named, and she couldn't help but answer, so she muttered and said perfunctorily: "What Mama said is very true!" ”

Mama looked at her more, but didn't say anything more.

When all the parrots had died, the little eunuch asked Mama: "There are no parrots in our Kunning Palace, but there are other palaces ......."

"Objects that our mothers don't like, the master of the other palace still dares to be rare? They know what they are going to do with those beasts, and if they don't, the mother will let them know it. ”

The little eunuch said again and again: "Mama is busy first, and the slave went to dispose of the corpses of these beasts." ”

"Don't bother, I'm still useful for this brute."

She asked people to pack up the dozens of bird carcasses, and then gently handed them to the carambola and said, "You don't have a fate, and the mother can't keep you for dinner." This little thing will be rewarded to you, don't look at their small size, they are also a delicious meal when they are disemboweled. ”

Carambola hurriedly excused himself: "No need to ......"

"You should say thank you!" Mama glanced at the carambola, and directly instructed the little eunuch on the side: "Carry the things to the lady's car, if the lady doesn't have a car, then send one to send the lady back." ”

On the way back to send the star fruit, Mama took the hand of the star fruit and asked, "Mrs. has already heard about the Ninth Princess and the champion Lang, right?" ”

Carambola shook her head: "I haven't heard of it." ”

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, let's just gossip." The old lady patted the hand of the star fruit, and said lovingly: "Women, sometimes don't screw too much, a man who makes a decision is dead, and it doesn't make much sense to force him to die or live." ”

Carambola smiled, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

"When a man commits a screw, a woman should also help persuade you to say it, right? If you don't know how to persuade you, you will not be wrong to look at Your Majesty and Queen Mother. You say, don't you? ”

"Yes!"

"This parrot has firm flesh, and when I go back and let Zhuang Yuanlang taste it, he will definitely like it."

After a good perfunctory pass, the star fruit finally went out of the palace gate.

There was no insult, no scolding, no heavy talk, and the old lady even smiled at her the whole time. But the star fruit felt cold from the bottom of his heart, colder than watching Erya die with his own eyes.

Naturally, she didn't eat the parrot.

Yang Chunxiao asked her with concern: "That's all I said, didn't I say anything else?" ”

"I didn't say anything more, and I don't quite understand what she wants me to do." The star fruit itself guessed there blindly, and there was no bottom in his heart.

When Qiao An came back in the evening, Carambola and Yang Chunxiao teamed up to ask, only to know that the emperor had the intention of asking him to divorce his wife and remarry, and the ninth princess was also begging bitterly in Kunning Palace, making a little unsightly.

When the star fruit heard this, her heart sank: "If Your Majesty makes a holy decree, how can we resist?" ”

"How could the emperor give a decree to divorce his wife?" Yang Chunxiao looked at the star fruit with a smile and comforted her: "Don't worry, as long as the royal family still has face, they will never use their power to pressure someone to divorce their wives." First, this is unreasonable, and secondly, the princess is not worried about getting married, and she can't afford to throw such a person. ”

Carambola turned her head to look at Qiao An, Qiao An put down the teacup for drinking water, and said helplessly: "The third prince is still helping around, and wait, there will be results the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”

"This result is not only related to our family affairs. It is also related to the success or failure of the three princes, and His Majesty's body is getting worse and worse. ”

Star fruit wanted to ask in detail, but Qiao An, who had a solemn face, had already taken Yang Chunxiao to the study to talk about things.

She also listened to two sentences in it under the pretext of sending tea and snacks, either this faction or that plot, I really couldn't understand it.

That night, Joan did not go back to her room to sleep, and after three o'clock, they were still talking in the study.

Looking at the light in the study, star fruit was uneasy for no reason, she always felt that something would happen.

Sure enough, early the next morning, someone from the Third Prince's Mansion came to ask Qiao An to come over and speak. Qiao An asked if there was something wrong, but the man's face sank, and he said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty suddenly fainted in the morning, and the situation is only ......."

The man didn't dare to say the latter words, but everyone already understood in their hearts.

Joan didn't even bother buttoning up her coat, so she put on her shoes and walked out. They all walked out of the door, and ran back uneasily, holding the hand of the star fruit and ordering: "You should go to the Tong adult's house to disturb for two days, and you must pay attention to the things at the entrance in the past two days." ”

Carambola couldn't bear to worry him, and she accepted whatever Qiao An said, nodding and saying yes.

Joan has been gone for three days, and no news has come back for three days. went to the academy to find Yang Chunxiao, but Yang Chunxiao couldn't find any useful news.

After a few days of worrying, a news suddenly came out outside: the ninth princess gave Tanhualang a marriage, and the marriage will be done within a month.

That night, Joan also returned.

As soon as the star fruit opened the door, he held the star fruit in his arms, and his head was tired on her shoulder, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"What's wrong, what's going on?" Carambola hugged him back and patted him lightly on the back: "If you tell me something, let's work hand in hand, no matter how big the hurdle is, we can get by." ”

"Defeated, defeated......" Joan muttered a sigh, her voice full of unspeakable frustration and pain.

Carambola didn't know how to comfort him, so she hugged his waist tightly, trying to give him some warmth and strength.

That night, Joan, who rarely drank alcohol, drank a lot of wine with peanuts. That night, a drunk Joan hugged the star fruit and kept nagging. Most of the words were not clear to the star fruit, and some she heard clearly but did not understand the meaning in between.

But there is a sentence that pierced the heart of star fruit.

He said: "A group of people with lust for profit have sat in the world, how should the people of this world live? The crown prince, who has not yet succeeded to the throne and planned beauty pageants and built palaces, will treat the people as people or lambs? ”

It turns out that the sky is about to change!

Within two days, Joan's appointment came down. His identity as a champion was not only unable to enter the Hanlin Temple, but also failed to stay in Kyoto. He was assigned to a place called Xihuo on the western side of the country as a county commander, and he set off immediately without delay.

The place is poor, and it doesn't matter if it's small. The worst thing is chaos, and with the appointment, it is the war report of Xihuo: Diao people rebelled, and the original county order that was held hostage has landed on the ground.
