Chapter 57: Confrontation
Come to think of it, the pair of men and women behind the rockery must not dare to show up when they date privately, and it seems that they are going to be unable to escape this disaster tonight.
Qin Luofei closed his eyes slightly, feeling impatient and restless.
When those royal forest soldiers saw that there was no response after the rockery, they couldn't help but pull out the swords on their bodies one by one and outflank them, so shocked that Qin Luofei didn't dare to move.
There was a sound of broken footsteps behind the rockery, and a plain white man in brocade walked out from behind, as soon as the man came out, not only those royal forest soldiers were stunned, but even Qin Luofei couldn't help but be stunned.
The man is as handsome as a fairy, and people can't take their eyes off it.
The narrow eyes are winding and rippling like water.
The nose is delicate and straight, and the corners of the lips are the most beautiful, with a clear arc, and the arc of the petals.
Dressed in a flowing brocade dress as thin as a cicada's wings, fluttering in the moonlight.
It's just that his whole person is extremely cold, there is no expression on his face, and his eyes do not look at the pair of guards, but look at the bright moonlight.
"Little Lord." When the pair saw the man, they hurriedly saluted.
Little Prince? Qin Luofei was secretly frightened, could it be Lord Xi.
Although she had seen this little prince the first two times, she hadn't seen it seriously.
On this night, the prince is really beautiful, no wonder the emperor and the queen mother are so favored, even a qualitative person like her is vaguely tempted.
Such a stunning man is rare in the world. When she saw this rumored little prince, she vaguely remembered her brother, who was once like this, turning the city and the country upside down.
Qin Luofei couldn't help crying secretly, and he didn't know if his brother's bones were buried in the ground.
Prince Xi waved his hand at the Royal Forest Army, and the leader of the Royal Forest Army, Prince Qin, bowed slightly to the Lord of the Imperial Forest and led the people away.
Obviously hearing the woman's voice, he didn't dare to pursue it anymore, anyway, everything was borne by the prince of the night.
Lord Xi stood for a moment before he said coldly, "Have you seen enough?" ”
Qin Luofei thought that the people on the rockery that Lord Xi said, how could he know that Lord Xi sneered, "The person I am talking about is you, you are addicted to listening." ”
Qin Luofei was stunned for a moment, she was very well hidden, ordinary people can't find it, unless... This Xi Wang Ye is also a practitioner.
"The prince looks at the moonlight of the prince, I look at my moonlight, how can the prince be sure that I am looking at the prince, are all good-looking men so arrogant? My elder brother is also a country and a city, but he does not have the disease of the prince. Qin Luofei didn't show up, sneered, and said.
"Excellent, kill her." The corners of Lord Xi's lips moved slightly, and a dark shadow came out of the darkness.
Qin Luofei was shocked, she didn't expect that this Xi Wang Ye would attack her in order to protect the people on the rockery, and hurriedly said: "Don't mess around, I won't tell anyone." ”
"Little uncle, what are you doing?" At this stall, a ten-year-old child walked out from behind the rockery, saw Lord Xi, and shouted affectionately.
The child's long pink carving, handsome eyebrows, given the time will be a demon who charms women like the prince of Xi.
The child was followed by two panting little eunuchs.
When Lord Xi saw the child, the corners of his lips warmed slightly, and said, "Ling'er, don't sleep well, where are you going in the middle of the night?" ”
Ling'er? Qin Luofei wondered, who is this kid? It seems to be very familiar with Lord Xi.
Ling Tai was young, but he had already practiced to the point of not moving, and said, "Ling Er can't sleep, so get up and look at the moonlight." As Ling Tai spoke, he quietly waved his hand at Qin Luofei and motioned for her to go.
Lord Xi had a cold temperament, and he restrained himself in front of his nephew, and when he saw Ling Tai waving his hand at Qin Luofei, he didn't stop him.
Qin Luofei breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly returned to the palace, quietly pushed open the door, and saw that Du Qingcheng was still sleeping very deeply, Qin Luofei lightly lifted the futon and lay down.
Leng Guifei not only gave the show girls a dismount, but even the queen mother suffered a dumb loss.
Leng Guifei relied on the emperor's love and forcibly postponed the draft.
Eternal Longevity Hall.
Mama Li walked to the Queen Mother with a gilded cloud dragon tray, and saw that the Queen Mother closed her eyes, leaning on the colorful phoenix peony group carved sandalwood, I don't know what she was thinking?
Mama Li shook her head slightly, the cold concubine is really getting more and more faced, relying on the emperor's favor, she gradually doesn't put the queen mother in her eyes, she is really a lively master.
After all, the queen mother is the emperor's mother, and she can make things difficult.
"Queen Mother, eat something!" Mama Li put down the gilded cloud dragon tray, waved her hand, and asked the little palace maid to put a few plates of newly made pastries on the low table with blue and white entwined branches next to the queen mother.
The plate wrapped in silk white agate, lined with five-color pastries, makes people have an appetite when they look at it
The Queen Mother opened her eyes, pressed her jade hand on the corner of her forehead, and said with a little tiredness: "Today, why haven't you seen the sunset?" ”
"The little prince has gone to the mansion of the seventh prince." Mama Li made incense with her hands and feet and brought it to the Queen Mother's side.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, the tassel on her head trembled slightly, shook her eyes, and said, "It's okay, he is bored in the palace, and he has to shout back to the temple." The mourning family doesn't understand, what's so good about the temple, except for a few old monks and a few young monks, I can't even see a figure, and I don't know where Xi'er likes something? ”
Mama Li smiled and said, "A person like Lord Xi is an immortal, that is what the slave can guess." The Queen Mother doesn't know, but now those who have seen Lord Xi say that Lord Xi is an immortal in the sky. ”
The Queen Mother has always loved Lord Xi, and when she heard Mama Li say this, she had a rare smile on her face, and said: "The mourning family has never seen a better-looking child than him, it's really rare, even the emperor loves his younger brother very much." ”
Mama Li saw that the Queen Mother was in a good mood, and hurriedly asked the palace maids to prepare meals.
"Where did the old queen mother's Luan go? You said that Concubine Leng was postponing the draft this time, did she want to wait for the old lady to come back and make decisions for her. ”
Although the queen mother is the emperor's mother, she can't control the child's mind more and more. I've been estranged from her since I was a child, and now I'm not with her anymore.
It is really not a blessing for him to love that Leng Guifei like this now.
"I think Concubine Leng wants to be this queen!" Mama Li said in a low voice.
The Queen Mother's eyebrows moved slightly, and she quickly pursed her lips and snorted coldly: "She thinks about beauty, don't even think about it." She can't sit on this queen, and the mourning family would rather let Leng Guifei be the queen if she is as she wishes. ”
Mama Li's heart did not turn, she lowered her voice, and said, "The emperor still loves the concubine too much, if only someone shared a little." ”
The Queen Mother nodded quietly and said, "Then you go to the mourning family, such a person, the mourning family can't watch her ride on the head of the mourning family step by step." ”
Mama Li has a figure in her mind, but this person's appearance is not as good as Leng Guifei, but his temperament is stable, it depends on whether the emperor likes it or not.
Two days later, before dawn, the show girls who lived in the Takixiu Pavilion on the inner side of the imperial garden were woken up by the palace maids who were waiting.
The Queen Mother's palace and Leng Guifei's palace both sent the old ladies in the palace over.
Wait for the show girls to pack up and go out and gather in the front yard.
Qin Luofei saw that the show girls were not wearing the clothes of the past, and they were dressed more solemnly and luxuriously than before.
"Sister, you are dressed beautifully today, my sister will not recognize you." Du Qingcheng quietly took Qin Luofei's hand and laughed in a low voice.
"My sister loves to laugh, no matter how beautiful she is, she is not as beautiful as her sister." Qin Luofei whispered.
Qin Luoyu saw Du Qingcheng and Qin Luofei muttering, and a trace of unhappiness flashed between his eyes.
Led by the consul eunuchs, they were divided into two teams.
"Sister Du, I'm a little scared." Qin Luofei's eyes showed a bit of timidity, and he looked at Du Qingcheng.
Du Qingcheng smiled secretly in his heart, he was just killing a person, he was scared like this, and he would be relieved in the future. patted Qin Luofei's hand comfortingly and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid." ”
Leng Guifei is so arbitrary and domineering, which makes everyone's hearts have a shadow. I didn't expect that Emperor Ming would be like the legend in the outside world, so favored Leng Guifei, they entered the palace, under the oppression of Leng Guifei, where is there any good.
Qin Luofei's heart was slightly cold, Concubine Leng was more favored than before, it was not easy to defeat her, fortunately, it was planned by people, Du Chengcheng looked up to her so much, she should be close to her.
The woman standing in front of her is called Shangguan Die, her father Shangguan Yunhe is the teacher of the current emperor, and the family background and background of this year's show girl are not comparable to her, the daughter of a great general, Qin Luofei's heart is becoming more and more worried.
She now guesses that even if she enters the palace, she may not be able to be favored, so she can only plan slowly.
Their group was first taken to the Xuanfang Pavilion on the inner side of the Imperial Garden, where there were already four experienced grandmothers waiting there, and they had to pass the first pass of entering the palace.
Medical check-ups.
Check the body for peculiar smell, scars, and diseases.
Then, entering the warm pavilion, there are two higher-grade grandmothers waiting to check whether the show girl is complete.
Qin Luofei was the last, and saw that some of the show girls in front of him came out with joy on their faces, some of them had red and swollen eyes, and some of the show girls were taken away by the little eunuch beside him.
Qin Luofei suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
"Qin Luofei." Hearing the shouts of the grandmother inside, an inferior little palace maid in a blue shirt took Qin Luofei to the inner room.
This pavilion is the place where the drafts of the past dynasties are located, and the cleaning is very elegant, like the embroidery room of everyone's ladies.
There are several cases, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, incense burner, curtain tent, beauty screen, everything.
"Take off your clothes."
Two little palace maids led Qin Luofei behind the curtain in the inner room.
The two little palace maids just wanted to undress Qin Luofei, but they were stopped by her.
"I'll do it myself." Qin Luofei endured the discomfort in his heart, took off his clothes, and let the two grandmothers look around.
The two grandmothers nodded, drew a circle on Qin Luofei's name, and a little palace maid said loudly: "Pass." ”
Qin Luofei felt that she was soaking wet, and when she came out, a little palace maid came over and said, "Please invite the show girl into the warm pavilion." "Led this Qin Luofei to the warm pavilion in the east.
There was a stern-faced old woman standing in the warm pavilion.
"Please undress and lie down on the bed."
Qin Luofei looked at the little palace maid, and the old lady waved her hand at the little palace maid and told the little palace maid beside her to stand down.
Qin Luofei took out a silver ticket from his arms and stuffed it into the old woman's hand. said with a smile: "Mama, this is what I mean, please smile." ”
