Chapter 128 True or False

There are many exquisite and beautiful courtyards in the palace. Although Liu Shi is not an emperor who likes pleasure, and even compared with other emperors in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation, he has a group of beauties in his harem who like to enjoy it very much. Liu Shi has always been very indulgent to his group of concubines, and what he said was not good, but he was not tough enough and was too good to women.

Therefore, in the harem of the Great Xia Dynasty, all the ladies have their own little tempers, and they are all spoiled a little too much, and when they compete for favor, they are not only beautiful clothes, beautiful decorations, beautiful appearance, slender figures, and even wonderful scenes, rare birds and beasts, so good gardens are built in the palace one after another.

Fortunately, Liu Shi is not really greedy for beauty. There are not many concubines in the palace, and he is also very measured, and he will not let any woman enjoy the holy grace alone.

Xiaoru once heard the old man say a very interesting thing - in the spring of the previous year, Liu Shi's favorite concubine Zhuang Concubine Sun, whose skin was a little dry, went to ask Liu Shi for pearls, and His Majesty the Emperor, in front of the envoys of the Goryeo State, gave Goryeo tribute, eighty-eight fist-sized pearls, and let people mash them into pieces to maintain the skin of the concubine.

This big gesture shocked the envoys from Goryeo for a moment, and thought that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty disliked the gifts of his own country's tribute, which was a deliberate slap in the face of their country, and the envoys trembled for several days, for fear that the emperor would chop off his head, but as a result, our emperor His Majesty did not seem to have anything to do, and gave a will to appease the envoys as usual, and sent the envoys away. In the two years that followed, Goryeo's tribute more than tripled at once.

The old man Gongsun said with a smile at the time: "The emperor looks quite proud in front of me, an old man, and says that the monarch of Goryeo is too cautious, but he is the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, how can he covet the tribute of a small country...... He gave his concubines things from Goryeo. That's to look up to them, isn't it just eighty-eight pearls, not to mention that their own women use it for maintenance, even if they play like marbles, it's nothing...... Of course, the old man thinks that the emperor may not really covet other people's little things, but just see that they are not pleasing to the eye, knocking and knocking, if Goryeo does not increase the tribute, I don't know what our careful-eyed emperor will do! ”

After hearing this, Xiao Ru felt for the first time that his old man's complaining skills were really good, and it was so easy to count the emperor, and the second thought was that it was such a toss, and the emperor's inner library was probably empty......

Later, I learned that His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty - Liu Shi can be called the most profitable emperor, and the Internal Affairs Office has collected a large number of talents who can do business, and every year the income of the treasury can make countless big businessmen blush. Not to mention pampering a few women, the harem is really filled with three thousand beauties, and Liu Shi can afford to raise them.

Yes, people have money, and women who are willing to provide for themselves can be spoiled as much as they like, and no one can say anything. Xiao Ru thinks that this Liu Shi is good, at least he is willing to coax his own women, it is better than those emperors who don't take women seriously, those women in the harem are locked up in the palace, and they are not too much different from being in a cage, if you don't spoil a little bit and cultivate a preference, how can you live that day!

And this small courtyard that currently belongs to Concubine Jing, formerly called Tingtao Pavilion, was specially built by the emperor for Concubine Jing before, exquisite, but also very atmospheric, although the former Concubine Jing is Mongolian, but, but very partial to the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor specially let the gardening master in the palace plant a lot of precious flowers and trees in the garden, and designed a rockery flowing water hot spring, a group of elegant scenery of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, as a result, Concubine Jing became Wang Meng, this garden was ruined by more than half, so many precious flowers and trees. It was all shoveled and turned into arable land.

When Xiao Ru knew about it at that time, she was heartbroken, and she couldn't wait for those flowers and trees to be transplanted into her own home, of course, Xiao Ru didn't like it very much, she just couldn't get used to Wang Meng's waste.

Now, Xiaoru is sitting in the corridor of Tingtao Pavilion, pointing to the easel, looking into the distance, occasionally squinting for a while, occasionally moving the pen and ink, the snacks on the table are not bad, but they are a little tired of eating, Wang Meng is a good sweet, and Xiaoru's taste is not very different, the two of them eat, that is, they can't eat together.

Wang Meng was dressed in palace clothes at this time, dressed up beautifully and cleanly, and even waving a small hoe seemed to be dancing elegantly......

Xiaoru watched from a distance and couldn't help but be happy, remembering when she used to work in the farmyard. This woman likes to wear clean and beautiful clothes, so that her teachers and classmates are speechless, after all, working in the field for a while, no matter how careful you are, it is impossible not to get your clothes dirty, everyone is wearing special work clothes, but she is different, but. To say that she has a princess disease, she is very squeamish, she is more fierce than anyone else, she is much more proficient in agricultural work than ordinary students, and she is willing to endure hardships, in short, in the hearts of her classmates and teachers, Wang Meng is a very contradictory woman.

Later, after Wang Meng and Xiaoru met, Xiaoru persuaded him several times, and Wang Meng gradually developed the habit of wearing work clothes, but every time he finished his work, he still had to take a careful bath from head to toe.

Moreover, after wearing the work clothes once, it is never touched a second time, so angry that the staff of the logistics department of the agricultural institute are eager to shout to all the teachers and students - don't let her change, just make your clothes as good as they are, and save us trouble!

Xiaoru has always wondered, why did Wang Meng, who has a habit of cleanliness, choose to study in agricultural college? This simply doesn't make sense, a person who likes to do farm work shouldn't have a habit of cleanliness, and a girl with a habit of cleanliness should like to do farm work?

"Draw what?" Concubine Jing, who was a little clean, threw away the hoe, washed her face, washed her hands, and applied a little essence, and told the palace maids to prepare hot water, new clothes, and she wanted to take a bath. "What is this...... Detective story? ”

"Well, it's also a puzzle question, so that children can use their brains." Xiaoru drew a detective intelligence question that looks at the picture to find flaws, although it is very simple, but it is very interesting, Wang Meng only glanced at it, and couldn't help but smile, so many years have passed, this Nizi's hobby has not changed at all! That's good, they haven't changed.

"Good drawing, this is mine."

Xiao Ru glanced at her, turned sideways, and ignored it, this is what she painted for her baby, I really think it's easy to draw it, if you want to, find someone to copy it yourself-"Don't beat my album idea, go take a bath." ”

Wang Meng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't worry...... By the way, Concubine Zhuang asked for a decree, and the day after tomorrow, she would invite Zhou Banxian to enter the palace to approve the sisters' orders...... You can also come when the time comes, I will post it to you, hehe, I heard that this week and a half immortal are verified, don't say, since I met such a thing as crossing, I don't dare to say that these are superstitions......"

"Zhou Banxian'er?" Xiao Ru frowned, feeling that this title was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.

"You don't know? His name is Zhou Ming, he is Concubine Zhuang's maiden cousin, although he is said to be a cousin, in fact, the relationship is 108,000 miles away, and he has already gone out of the five suits, but since Concubine Zhuang has become the emperor's favorite concubine, no matter how far away the relatives will become very close, and Zhou Banxian'er is very famous in Beijing, and many of the king's grandchildren and brothers ask him to tell fortunes from time to time, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, people in this era believe this, therefore, Zhou Banxian'er's ability is not small, there is such a relative, Concubine Zhuang is happy. ”

Xiao Ru thought for a long time before she suddenly clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Is it the master of the spirit sparrow fortune teller?" ”

"Ah...... You've heard ...... too."

Xiaoru was happy all of a sudden: "I said sister, it's okay for others to believe this, after all, people in this era believe it, even I don't dare to guarantee that those fortune tellers are all liars, but I don't believe in the fortune telling of the sparrow, there are a lot of animals in the world, don't care if they are psychic or not, there is absolutely no truth that can know people's good fortune and misfortune......"

"Huh?"

"Ahh Xiao Ru looked at Wang Meng's ignorant face, crying and laughing, "Even if you don't have common sense, you often surf the Internet, haven't you heard that the so-called spirit bird is a white-waisted bird, a very stupid and bold bird, it is said that if there is a pair of white-waisted birds standing on the tree, you shoot the next one, and the other one doesn't know how to fly for a while." How can such a bird be able to tell fortunes through psychics......"

"There are a lot of obedient people in our family, they are so smart, they are almost like people, and they can't know the number of lives, a stupid bird, how can they have these skills?"

"Flutter ......" was counted down for a long time, Wang Meng finally came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Hehe, Xiaoru, this kind of thing, what do you care about doing so much, it doesn't matter if he is a real half-fairy or a fake half-fairy, you can just come and have a fun when the time comes, and you should watch a monkey show." ”

Xiao Ru was stunned and blinked, probably because she had been hearing all kinds of news about this half-fairy recently, and it was not particularly good news, such as Wenyue's incident, she always felt that a good woman had ruined the rest of her life by letting a fortune teller ruin the rest of her life, she was very panicked, she felt that her heart was also a little blocked, so she couldn't help but be a little more real, in fact, whether this person is true or not, it really has nothing to do with herself, thinking about it, she also smiled: "Cheng, I'll come over to see the excitement when the time comes." ”

However, Liu Shi was really good to his woman, and even agreed to such an outrageous request to see a fortune teller.
