"You dare to disobey His Highness?!" As if hearing the unbelievable words, Meatball tried to widen his mung bean eyes, "Do you know that no one has ever dared to disobey me!" ”

"Your Highness the Nine, forgive your sins." Bai Zhi looked back at him without being humble or arrogant, the tears in the corners of his eyes were as dazzling as diamonds, "The slave didn't disobey you, he just sought his position in his position, and the slave is still the person of the Li Guiren, and the Li Guiren instructed the slave to send this potted plant to His Royal Highness the Prince of the East Palace, and the slave naturally had to do it." ”

"If it is sent to His Highness because of His Highness's words, it is not in harmony with the rules, and it is also against self-respect."

"Hehe, you are a minion, what self-esteem do you have!" Xiao Shunzi sneered, "Your Highness the Ninth Don't talk nonsense with him, if he dares to disobey you, he is disobedient and should be beaten!" ”

Xuan Shu pondered for a moment, raised his chin, and looked down at her along the line of his nose, "His Royal Highness will give you another chance, and you will answer yes, you and the potted plant belong to me, I will not hold you responsible, and I will reuse you." ”

Xiao Shunzi on the side knew a long time ago that Xiao Pingzi was better than himself, and he was more pleasing to the princes and nobles than himself, if he really followed His Royal Highness Jiu, would this still have his own use?

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, he doesn't know what to do like this, he doesn't deserve ...... at all"

"Shut up! Your Highness has made a decision, and it is not your turn to interject. Xuan Shu scolded him coldly, and then turned to Bai Zhi, his expression arrogant as if he was giving alms, "Have you thought clearly?" With His Royal Highness, he has a much better future than that nobleman. ”

"The minion is still the same sentence," he did this, but it aroused Bai Zhi's blood, she is a modern person who has long been fed up with these hierarchical humility, "Forgive me." ”

"You don't know what to do!" Xuan Shu's flesh trembled angrily, "Come on, drag me down and beat me to death!" ”

In an instant, a group of guards with knives came out from behind him, easily suppressed Bai Zhi to his knees, and dragged him out.

She clung to the pot of aloe vera, and was dragged away by the guards like a rag, from Xuanshu's indifferent to domineering sight, and human life was like a grass mustard on the side of the road in the eyes of these princes, worthless.

Oh, she smiled low in her heart, it turned out that she went to that layer of shadow queen aura, she was still so low, just like when she was young, she couldn't laugh, and her parents who came to the orphanage to adopt the child disliked her lifeless expressionless face, and sent her back to the orphanage again and again, it was a new round of beating, scolding, cold and starvation, and then she was sent out to the exhibition again for people to pick and choose, and then gave up in the same way.

Again and again, their hearts were cut like knives, as if they had died once, and now they are satisfied, but they are satisfied with her bright skin, but they can't stand the blankness in her heart.

Maybe it was because the expression was too unwavering, maybe it was because the mockery in those eyes was too desperate, maybe it was just because he was reluctant to bring that cruelly beautiful appearance to the grave, Xuan Ye raised his eyebrows, and suddenly changed his mind, "Stop, put him down." ”

"Xiao Pingzi, huh?" Xuan Shu walked up to Bai Zhi, who was kneeling on the ground, leaned over, and looked down at her very arrogantly, "You are the most backbone and hard-hearted eunuch Your Highness has ever seen," paused, "It's also the best-looking." ”

"Your Highness, I look up to you like this, but this time I am in a good mood, so I will be merciful and spare your life," he stretched out his fat hand and patted her face lightly, "Next time, if you are still so ignorant, you won't have such good luck." ”

After speaking, he got up neatly, he was a flexible fat man, followed by a large group of palace maids, eunuchs, and guards, and walked away in a majestic manner, as arrogant as when he came, and no one in his eyes.

Bai Zhi sat in place, and didn't feel that the sun was hot, anyway, the whole person was sweating and fishing out of the water, and she was not afraid of shedding a few more drops.

She just hugged the pot of aloe vera that had wilted on the ground, thought about it for a long time, and decided to send it over, otherwise the insistence of resisting for so long and almost sending her life in it would be meaningless.

Standing up, patting the dust that had been stuck to the floor when she was mopped, she straightened her eunuch hat and walked back to the road of the East Palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the East Palace, compared to the Qinghe Palace, it was indeed much more magnificent, and when he saw her over, the guards standing guard at the door, dressed in iron armor, were all dressed in iron armor, and his aura was magnificent, which one was the one who called him to ask him in the Jinluan Hall before, and he also opened his mouth at this time, "Stop!" ”

Saying this, the cold guard's eyes showed a smile like an old acquaintance, "Xiao Pingzi, why are you willing to come here with a face?" ”

Bai Zhi also smiled back, very shallow and extremely beautiful, and raised the potted plant in his hand, "Brother Xiao, I came here to send rare plants to the prince by the order of the noble man." ”

"Isn't this just an ordinary cactus? What's so rare, on such a hot day, and you send it, it's really going to toss people. ”

"Hehehe......" Bai Zhi was helpless, knowing that Brother Xiao felt sorry for her and was affected by the heat, so she had to smile.

"Okay, you wait, Brother Xiao will go and report to you."

After a while, he came out with a hearty smile on his face, "Send it in, the prince is waiting in the main hall." ”

Bai Zhi couldn't figure out why the prince who was above 10,000 people under his dignity was waiting for her, but it was always good for the task to be able to contact him head-on.

Entering the main hall, carving beams and painting buildings, the pillar is carved with a lifelike four-clawed golden dragon, and the atmosphere in the hall is set off majestic.

And the noble Royal Highness the Prince, dressed in heavy clothes as usual, with eyebrows like paint, hair like splashed ink, meticulously tied up with a hairband, sat in a high position, and looked at her coldly.

Bai Zhi held the delicate basin full of shabby aloe vera, and suddenly she was a little stunned, she stumbled and spoke, "Your Highness, this is the aloe vera sent to me by my master, you, don't look at it like a hedgehog, use, it can be very useful, big." ”

"Oh......" he raised his eyebrows lightly, indescribably noble, but he couldn't see any emotion, "What are the uses?" ”

"As long as the transparent gel inside it is extracted, it can remove scars and beauty, care for hair, and treat sunburn."

After a pause, she dared to raise her head, Bai Shengsheng's little face was full of sincerity, "Especially His Highness's long hair, when it is washed and half dried, it is as smooth as silk." ”

"Come here, take off your caster."

Bai Zhi was stunned, she didn't know what to do for a while, she went to the eunuch, and the fact that she was pretending to be a eunuch would definitely be exposed, but when she was the crown prince, how could she dare to disobey as a little eunuch.

"Take it off," the handsome and incomparable Xuan Ye stepped down from his high position, as if he had stepped down from the altar and descended from the mortal, staring straight at her gaze, with an irresistible domineering.

Bai Zhi can't, secretly thinking that sticking out her head is also a knife, shrinking her head is also a knife, let's die, it's better to die and understand.

She finally did as she was told, with three thousand green silks, unfettered, spread out like moonlight, hanging down behind her head, lining her original heroic face, completely soft, and a tear mole in the corner of her eye, like a grain of misty sand in the spring breeze.

Xuan Ye watched silently for a while, until the air was full of the clear begonia fragrance on the person's body, and he raised his hand to stroke her long hair, and the touch was as smooth as silk.

The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and it was a smile like a blossoming iron tree, because he didn't smile often, the speed at which the smile lines slowly unfolded was very slow and rippled, "The little eunuch who knelt in front of the Jinluan Palace that day and held an umbrella for me, but you?" ”

Obviously, this question has been confirmed from the mouth of the guard, but he just wants to hear her admit it with his own mouth.

She looked up, proud and timid, "It's down there." ”

He doesn't need to show his dignity, and she doesn't need to show her humility.

"Okay," this man not only looks deep in his heart, but even his words and deeds seem to be traced by him in the bottom of his heart, "are you willing to follow me?" ”

His eyes were stained with a crow's feather floating, and he added, "I will help you hide your identity until the day you want to say it yourself." ”

It seems gentle and considerate, but it is not a threat.

Bai Zhi still had this look in her eyes, and nodded, "I am willing to always be by His Highness's side, year after day." ”

Li Guiren never thought that just to send a pot of aloe vera, her favorite eunuch would become His Royal Highness the Prince.

And the news that Nie Qingping did not hesitate to die and refused His Royal Highness the Nine, but was willing to be the eunuch accompanying His Royal Highness the Prince, spread more and more widely, and also set off a wave in the palace.

Angry, Xuan Ye was in the queen's Weiyang Palace, and he was furious, saying that it was not enough for Xuan Ye to rob him of the crown prince, and he even wanted to rob the person he fancied.

And the graceful and luxurious queen just tasted the latest beauty lotus from the Tubo country, and fell under the Nine Highnesses, "The queen mother wants to seek justice for her son!" In the accusation, he provoked the nail cover inlaid with the pearl of the South China Sea between the emeralds, and opened his mouth slowly, "Your eldest brother can also make a childish move to ask for someone from the hands of the Li noble, and the mourning family is very curious that this little eunuch is really so valuable." ”

If it really becomes a gap in the invulnerability of His Royal Highness the Prince, she will give a few knives, and maybe she can get unexpected miraculous results.

It's the annual Mid-Autumn Festival again, and on this day, all the restaurants in the capital have to re-decorate their facades, tie the silk archway, and sell the newly opened good wine. The shop is full of fresh fruits, and the bustle of the night market is rare in a year. Prominent officials and wealthy families are all admiring the moon in their own pavilions, and the piano is sonorous and endless. Ordinary citizens are vying to occupy the restaurant first, to get a sneak peek of the moonlight, and to arrange family banquets to reunite their children.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the nobles decorate the pavilion, and the people compete to occupy the restaurant to play the moon, and the palace is naturally no exception, or even worse.

The eunuchs were in front of the Taihe Hall in advance, and the peonies of all colors were bloomed, and they were in full bloom, and the palace was full of lights, and there were streamers of gold, silver and jewelry everywhere, and all the royal concubines were sitting on the predetermined seats, and when the Lord of Long Live arrived, the night banquet officially opened.

Bai Zhi stood behind Xuan Se respectfully, seeing that he was as cold as a moonlight beauty, dressed in a dark Xuanyi, which was the color that only the emperor and the future prince could wear in the world.

Try to ignore the vicious gaze on the other side, slashing at her like a knife.

Xuan Shu only felt that her neglect was a kind of disdain for himself, which deepened his inferiority complex that was inferior to Xuan Ye in his heart, so he decided to bluff more and more to let her know the consequences of provoking him.

The lady at the very end, through the gap between the heads of the other concubines, looked at Bai Zhi, who was becoming more and more handsome and graceful in the moonlight, and felt infinite melancholy in her heart.

The time of a cup of tea passed, the eunuchs and palace maids waiting in the corridor in front of the Taihe Hall were in a commotion, it was the current saint with the emperor, the two of them came to the banquet together, accompanied by important ministers in the court, at the end there was a new title this year, and the headband heralded the supreme glory of Ling Yu Song Zhiqing.

That Ling Yu is extremely noble, and non-first-class officials are not qualified to wear it, and the reason why Song Zhiqing can wear it is because the saint praised him for facing the temptation of Sheng Qianyu's beauty who almost became the princess of the world, and he can still maintain the style of a literati, and resolutely refuses, so he made an exception.

The top five officials in the important ministers have arrived, only since the concubine was given to death by the emperor, the prime minister Sheng Kaizhi, who has lost his power, has not been present, and the officials are like a mirror in their hearts, after this Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet, the people in the prime minister's position are afraid to change.

Sitting on the dragon chair and the phoenix chair, everyone present began a period of praise for the moon by chanting poems, and the opening remarks of the prosperous era of Jiangshan Sheji under the governance of Yang Sheng, and then the pre-rehearsed qin song and dance, singers and dancers, pianists and drummers are eager to show their lifelong learning in front of the most noble group of people in the world, looking forward to being looked at, being promoted, being world-famous, and celebrities through the ages.

Everyone pushed the cup to change the lamp, respect the bright moon, after respecting the emperor, the atmosphere reached the highest point, the crested hairpin on the queen's head was magnificent, lining her more and more graceful and luxurious, the mother of the world, she smiled with a thousand manners, "The mourning family heard that the sisters, some of them have carefully prepared performances, and they want the emperor to smile, take them out at this time, just to help the fun." ”

Immediately, the Qing Guifei who played the pipa very well came out, and as soon as she shook her hand and stretched out her slightly, the palace maid handed her the jade pipa she had prepared, she still held the pipa and half covered her face, revealing her noble shyness, both young and not childish, "The concubine presented a song of the autumn river flower moonlit night, I hope Your Majesty will like it." ”

After speaking, she lowered her eyebrows and continued to play, gently twisting and wiping again, the sound of the pipa was fresh and pleasant, like the spring water in March, flowing out from her fingers coated with colorful dankou.

The saint Longyan was very happy, and gave the Qing concubine many rare treasures.

Then there were several concubines, and Zhaoyi gave their talents, singing and dancing, singing and dancing, singing and poetry, and they were all rewarded.

Bai Zhi turned her encouraging eyes to the last nobleman, she had been preparing for this night banquet for a long time, and she gave her a lot of advice from a modern point of view, and helped her design a song and dance.

She believes that she will definitely be able to stand out among the concubines and stand out, after all, her 5,000-year history of China is not learned in vain.

Li Guiren was originally a little hesitant, after all, she was the lowest grade, but as soon as she met Bai Zhi's expectant eyes, she slowly came out of the line from the end, and decided to show the results of her hard work in the past few months.

The queen frowned imperceptibly, and the next second she was dignified and decent, "Li Guiren also has talents to show, which really makes the mourning family look forward to it." ”

Li Guiren bowed slightly, raised his incomparably beautiful face, and looked directly at the supreme emperor on the throne, "The slave maid wrote and directed a song and dance, and wanted to dance it to His Majesty." ”

The emperor, who is already over half a hundred years old, still shows a trace of old age despite careful recuperation, and when he sees a young and beautiful beauty, he always can't help but ease his face, "Li Guiren, right?" I really want to see your song and dance, don't worry about it, and even if you are immature, I and the ministers will not blame you. ”

The ministers who are living as human spirits, how can they not understand that this is a new look at the beautiful nobles, and they immediately echo it.

Li Guiren smiled, cleared his throat, raised his long dance sleeves, and twisted his bewitching waist, which was a very pleasing action.

In the eyes of everyone who began to get serious, she slowly took a small step, with pale nail covers on her plain hands, and the skirt she had just changed was complex, embroidered with the feathers of a hundred birds, and in the light dance steps, she showed a stunning sense of agility.

"A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date. Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio. The moon does not drink, and the shadow disciples follow me. Temporarily accompanied by the moon will be shadowed, and the joy must be spring. "Poetry more beautiful than the sound of the piano, flute, zither, and pipa overflowed from her lark-like voice, and the strange tune, which everyone had never heard before, had more shocking tension than fairy music.

Under the moonlight, her every move was beautiful, and then in the amazing pumping sound, she spun and jumped, with a flower-like smile on her face, and her skirt flew out of the gorgeous color like a peacock opening the screen "I am singing and wandering, and my dancing shadows are scattered. When you wake up, you have a good time, and when you get drunk, you scatter. Eternal knot ruthless travel, phase Miao Yunhan. ”

A dance is full of silence.

"Bang Bang Bang ......, good!" Or the saint who stroked his palms and smiled first, woke up everyone, "The song and dance of the noble people are really beautiful in the world, such as Aunt Gongsun is alive!" ”

The concubines and princes present, the civil and military officials clapped their hands and admired.

"Spread my will," the saint beckoned to pull the noble Li to sit down next to the dragon chair, and the dragon trembled with a smile, "Feng Li noble is the concubine of Li and gives Changchun Palace to stay." ”

Directly promoted from a noble person to a noble concubine, this supreme gift made the slightly panting Li Guiren also a little surprised, but in the congratulations of everyone, she firmly locked the afterglow on Bai Zhi, and it was she who created her own glory.

At this time, Bai Zhi was silently held by the prince with his little finger, "This song and dance, I want you, the real creator, to show me when you return to the East Palace." ”

Bai Zhi didn't understand how Xuan Se knew that this song and dance was choreographed by herself, but she didn't show him if she danced, she knew how to choose.

After the royal night banquet, the most lively thing is the Mid-Autumn Festival practice of the Great Xuan Dynasty - put a "little red light", which is to worship the moon god.

When it was dark, the chief of the worship room ordered his subordinates to carry all the tribute candles stored in the imperial treasury to the river, and the princes and nobles all got on the royal special great fortune boat and sailed to the moat together.

Countless people of the capital have already gathered on the riverside, and the praetorian guards have erected the altar, on which the giant candles are burning incense smoke, and the palace ladies have lit the tribute candles on the torches, poured a few candle tears on the parchment lotus tray with good wishes, glued the tribute candles, and carefully handed them out.

There was already a royal forest army standing in waist-high deep water, taking the little red light and placing it firmly on the water.

The river lantern worships the moon, each with its own expectations. The red light is full of countless expectations of the people for the future: the man is willing to step into the Toad Palace as soon as possible and climb the immortal laurel. The woman wishes to look like Chang'e and be as round as the moon.

The river flowed quietly, and for a time, hundreds of thousands of small lights floated on the surface of the river, dyed red. A round of golden full moon is rising, and the stars and clouds are reflected in the river, and the water and sky are the same color, like a fairyland.

The Daifuku boat slowly docked at the riverside, and the princes and nobles enjoyed such a prosperous scenery to enjoy the moon and eat cakes.

Some Janissaries sent dozens of red lanterns with unwritten wishes for them to pray for.

The emperor smiled and lifted the pen, and under the emperor's attention, he wrote, "I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together." Good wishes.

Xuantian stroked his beard and smiled, and also took the brush soaked in full ink from the hand of the palace maid, and also wrote "The Great Xuan Dynasty will last forever." Then he turned around and handed the pen to the newly sealed Concubine Li.

She was shy and timid, leaving beautiful handwriting on the parchment, "I only hope that your heart is like my heart, and I will live up to my love." The emperor raised his hand and tapped the tip of her nose, his eyes full of doting.

The emperor looked at it with a smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

The important ministers followed suit, all of them were couplets that flattered the emperor in different ways, and the concubines wrote down their expectations for the emperor to be lucky enough for themselves or to have a dragon fetus as soon as possible.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took two red lights from the Praetorian Guard, gave one to the well-behaved and small female eunuch behind her, and asked her to write too.

Bai Zhi took the lamp held by the parchment lotus, stunned, but didn't know what prayer she had to write.
