At dusk, on the corridor of the Chu Palace, a woman dressed up followed the two little eunuchs a little nervously.

She is Liu Peiyun, the pearl of Liu Yantao, the commander of the capital, because she plays the pipa well and has a good appearance, she has a reputation called "Shangrong Jiayin".

Half an hour ago, two eunuchs from the Yellow Gate came to the palace to summon her, saying that it was Concubine De Niangniang who announced that she would enter the palace to perform.

Although everything came too suddenly, and the time was a little strange, as a courtier, where did she dare to delay, she could only dress up immediately and bring the piano into the palace, but as she walked, she felt that something was wrong.

"Father-in-law, isn't it Concubine De's mother? Why aren't we going in the direction of the Defei Palace? "Liu Peiyun is not the first time to enter the palace, she went to the palace of Concubine De once at the palace banquet two years ago, and she remembers that it is not such a route.

"Go along, less nonsense." The eunuch who helped her hold the qin, after muttering in a low voice with a cold face, her steps accelerated, and Liu Peiyun had to follow silently, but on her face, a look of uneasiness emerged.

Not far away, outside the eunuch's dormitory, Zhao Jichang stood there with his hands behind his back and listened to his most admired godson, the eunuch Changfu, whispering: "Godfather, don't worry, everything is ready." ”

"Make sure it's beautiful." As soon as Zhao Jichang's words fell, the two little eunuchs also led Liu Peiyun to the front.

Seeing this, Changfu said softly: "Godfather, the person has arrived." ”

Zhao Jichang didn't say anything, and watched the group of people walk in front of him and stop.

When Liu Peiyun saw this scene, he could only salute silently.

"Miss Liu is here?" A light smile appeared on Zhao Jichang's face: "The king announced that you enter the palace to play the qin, you have to behave well!" ”

"The King?" Liu Peiyun raised her head in shock when she heard this: "It's not Concubine De's mother, she ......"

"Ahh ”

Liu Peiyun had a "groan" look in her heart, and suddenly became nervous and at a loss.

Zhao Jichang looked at her obviously flustered appearance, stepped forward and said: "The rules in this palace are to follow the trend and flatter the will. The girl is a smart person, you need to know...... Losing decency is a small thing, but colliding with the intention is a big deal. ”

No matter how obvious the warning in the words was, no matter how stunned and nervous Liu Peiyun was, she could hear that this was asking her to conform to her wishes, and she must not be disobedient.

Disobedience, how dare she?

Even if he was flustered, even if he was uneasy, even if he was a little resentful in his heart, he hurriedly bowed his head and said at this time: "What my father-in-law taught is that Peiyun has kept it in mind. ”

Zhao Jichang took a step back with satisfaction, raised his hand and waved at the two little eunuchs: "Lead her over!" ”

The two little eunuchs immediately led Liu Peiyun away.

After Changfu and Zhao Jichang glanced at each other, they also followed them silently and left.

Zhao Jichang looked at the backs of these four people, the corners of his mouth slowly rose, and finally showed a smug look.

……

"The master is back!" At the door of Liu's house, the little maid shouted loudly and ran up to lead the horse, and Liu Yanyao, who hurried back, jumped off the horse, threw the horse whip in his hand to the little maid, and rushed into the house

In the flower hall of Fuzhong, Mrs. Liu paced back and forth uneasily, and when she saw Liu Yanyao coming back, she hurriedly greeted her.

"What's going on?" Without waiting for Mrs. Liu to speak, Liu Yanyan was already nervous and asked loudly.

"Master, don't get excited, listen to me." Mrs. Liu took his arm and whispered: "It was Concubine De Niangniang who announced that Peiyun entered the palace to play the qin, and sent someone to take her away." ”

"Concubine De Niangniang?" As soon as Liu Yanyao heard that it was her, her expression immediately relaxed a lot: "Concubine De Niangniang will listen to the piano if you want to, you sent someone to tell me to come back quickly, I thought something terrible happened." ”

Mrs. Liu frowned and said: "Master, think about it, it's sunset, Concubine De really wants to hear her play the piano, and tomorrow morning she is right!" ”

Liu Yanyan immediately became uneasy when he heard this: "What do you mean...... Questions? ”

"I don't think it's right, but the people from the palace are urging me so much that I can't stop it...... I can only tell you to come back and inquire about one or two. ”

"Okay, I'll go and take a look." Liu Yanyu turned around to leave the hall, but Mrs. Liu grabbed his arm with a worried look and solemnly instructed: "Master, I hope this matter is my heart, but if there is really anything wrong, you must calm down, don't get angry, and act carefully." ”

"Okay." Although Liu Yanyao's IQ is not low, he is not at all comparable to his wife in terms of EQ and IQ, and he listens to his wife's admonition on weekdays.

Liu Yanyu left, and Mrs. Liu paced again in the flower hall with a worried face.

……

It was already dark, but the imperial garden of the Chu palace was bustling with activity—Ma Xisheng, as the king, was leading a group of eunuchs around a stone table in a pavilion to compete with crickets.

"Go!" Ma Xisheng plucked the tentacles of the cricket with thatch, and whispered softly: "Hurry up!" Go bite its leg! Bite its leg! ”

Changfu, who had been here for a while, looked at the sky, moved to the front, and after glancing at Ma Xisheng, who was lying on the stone table and completely ignoring his image, he stretched out his hand and pulled away a small eunuch closest to the king, and stepped forward closely.

At this time, Ma Xisheng's cricket finally pounced forward and bit the cricket on the opposite side, which made Ma Xi shout excitedly: "Bite it!" Bite it! ”

The big cricket is very obedient, and he really bites and doesn't let go, and the result of the little cricket's struggle is that he is really bitten off a leg.

The winner of this battle was decided, and Ma Xisheng immediately threw the thatch in his hand and shouted excitedly: "Good job!" Lone knows that you are the best. ”

Changfu bowed down at this time and said loudly: "Congratulations to the king on harvesting a powerful general of divine martial arts!" ”

"Hahahahaha, well said!" The victorious Ma Xisheng smiled happily: "It is the lone Shenwu general." ”

After Ma Xisheng finished speaking, he carefully put the big man into the cage, and Changfu said at this time: "King, your Shenwu General has fought several battles, it's time to rest and rest, and the little one has found a new fun for you." ”

"Oh?" Ma Xisheng glanced at Changfu: "What kind of fun?" ”

Changfu smiled all over his face: "King, the fun of this insect song lies in the martial arts school, the two are fighting alone, if you throw dozens of crickets in a circle, and then simulate the female insects with the sound of the piano, it will be a thrilling melee!" ”

Ma Xisheng's hobby in this life is playing, and when he heard such a novel proposal, he immediately excitedly said: "Interesting! ”

"The king, the little one has prepared everything in the dormitory, and I invite the king to watch the battle!"

"Good!" After Ma Xisheng handed over the cage to the personal eunuch, he smiled happily and beckoned: "Let's go!" ”
