From the small side hall to the main hall of Tianxiangyuan, you have to walk through a long corridor, which was originally a good place to enjoy the cool in summer, and the long corridor is hung with curtains of shark bead yarn on both sides at this time, so as to avoid the cold wind and enjoy the scenery.

Su Mi and Qiyan walked through the tortuous corridor together, and were turning a corner, facing He Yuwang and leading a few little eunuchs to this side, seeing the two of them, they hurriedly saluted, "Say hello to the two talented masters." ”

Su Mi said lightly: "Excuse me." ”

Just as she was about to pass, the last one of the eunuchs was shocked after hearing her voice, Su Mi couldn't help but glance at it slightly, the eunuch was about twenty years old, and suddenly he looked very delicate, but if he looked closely, he didn't know why, there were several scars on his face, and it was very hideous to ruin a face that should have been very upright.

Su Mi couldn't help but take another look, and it was this glance that Rao was calm and calm, and her face immediately changed.

"Master, master, what's wrong?" Seeing that Su Mi's face suddenly became as pale as paper, Mi Qing hurriedly supported her and said.

"Nothing." Su Mi replied, but her voice couldn't help but tremble, as if her tongue was not her own.

Even though he had changed so much, she recognized him.

"What's wrong with my sister? What's uncomfortable? Qiyan also panicked.

"The master is not feeling well, so he shouldn't come over if he knew it." Mi Qing exclaimed, "Slave maid, go and call the imperial doctor." ”

"The master is not comfortable, the slave sent someone to call the imperial doctor, don't bother the girl." He Yuwang hurriedly said. Su Mi is just being favored, and she is pregnant again, so they naturally staunch.

"No need," Su Mi leaned on the railing and said, "It's just a little dizzy, just rest for a while." He turned his head to Qiyan and said, "It's good that my sister is here, I'll be there in a while." ”

What else did Qiyan want to say.

Su Mi shook her hand at her and said, "So as not to worry the emperor and the queen, my sister will go over first, I will be there in a while." ”

Qiyan rubbed for a while, and saw that Su Mi's face was slightly better, so he nodded, and led people away step by step.

He Yuwang hurriedly wiped the horizontal bar of the corridor with his sleeve. Mi Qing helped Su Mi sit down: "Master Mo didn't catch a cold just now, I don't know when tonight's feast will be held, I think it's better for the slave to go and say goodbye to the queen's mother, let's go back to Caiwei Palace." ”

"Yes, if you hurt the dragonborn, how good is it, or the slave sent someone to find the imperial doctor." He Yuwang said on the side.

Hearing the word "dragonborn", the eunuch couldn't help but shake again, and his face became extremely ugly.

"No need, there is a lot of worry about it. It's just a common old disease, just take a little rest. Su Mi calmed down and said, then looked at the few eunuchs behind him and asked, "I don't know if these people are following Gonggong He?" Is the face very raw? ”

"Oh, is the master asking these minions? They are all taking care of the plum garden, they have just entered the palace, and some rough people, because they don't know the master's jade drive, collided with the master, and the slave sent them far away. ”

"Oh, don't be busy yet, are you taking care of the plum garden? I just want to move a few plum trees in my yard, so why don't I ask another day? Have you ever planted plum blossoms? Su Mi asked softly, but her eyes looked at him involuntarily.

"Slaves have planted." He immediately looked up.

"Master Su wants to plant plum blossoms, and he really has a good eye, the old slave is a layman, but he also thinks that this plum blossom is beautiful and noble, and it is just right for you, the master." He Yuwang interjected on the side.

"Oh, I came to enjoy the plum blossoms today, and I only know the beauty of these plum blossoms, I want to move a few to my yard, I don't know which one to plant." Su Mi had already calmed down, tried to keep his eyes looking at him calmly, and asked.

"I don't know where the master lives?"

"It's the Caiwei Palace by Weiyang Pond."

"There is a saying that 'every year Fangxin bears the red plum, and the riverside hangs down and wants to open.'" The minions thought it would be better to be cold and red plums. "Hanying red plum flowers are as bright as blood, and its stamens are sharp, so the folk are also called "thorn plum". Very common, not a rare breed.

"I can't imagine that you are quite knowledgeable, what is your name." Su Mi was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"Slave Chen Yan," he paused, then suddenly raised his head and said, "The master is unwell, so it's better not to attend today's feast." ”

Su Mi was stunned for a moment.

"Shut up, is this what you said to your master?" He Yuwang immediately broke off beside him, "Things that don't understand the rules." Don't hesitate to ask your master! ”

Seeing that Su Mi didn't react, Chen Yan's face became anxious, and he had to say something.

"I see, you don't have to say it." Su Mi interrupted him, his eyes full of understanding.

"Okay, since he is a newcomer, he naturally doesn't know what the rules are, so Grandpa He doesn't have to worry. In a few days, I will ask him about plum blossoms. Su Mi's heart was still like turning over the river and the sea, and it was chaotic, but his expression had fully recovered, without a trace of flaws, and he was full of laughter.

"Master, it's not too early, are we going to the banquet now, or are we ......," Mi Qing asked a little anxiously on the side.

"Okay, I'll talk to a few masters another day." Su Mi stood up, and Mi Qing helped her walk past the crowd.

As he passed by him, Su Mi could still clearly feel his body trembling slightly.

"Chen Yan, I see that you are still a steady person on weekdays, but today I met the master, why do you not know the rules so much. Fortunately, Su Cairen is a good person. Otherwise, some of you are good-looking, you can find death yourself, but don't bother us. Seeing Su Mi walking away, He Yuwang couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "I see that you usually talk and behave as if you have read a few books, thinking that you are less frivolous than them, why are you so ......?"

He Yuwang chattered while facing Chen Yan's eyes, cold but as if facing a pair of cold ice, like a frozen lake in winter, cold and scary, dark and gloomy to see what is underneath. He Yuwang couldn't help but shudder, and the scolding in his mouth seemed to be suddenly blocked by something, and he couldn't say a word.

"My father-in-law forgives my sins, Chen Yan was rude for a while." Chen Yan lowered his head, and then raised his head, his eyes were already soft and submissive.

He Yuwang looked at it calmly, and he was still the little eunuch who was obedient. "Uh...... Yes...... It's good to know, but don't do it again. "Hell yes, what's wrong with me just now, my old eyes are dizzy? He muttered to himself.

"This is ......" Looking at Su Mi's distant back, a little eunuch he didn't know couldn't help but ask.

"That's Master Su, you know, it's the one who just became a talented person a few days ago." He Yuwang glanced at him and said, "Even if you are made today, you can also see the master, you have to pray to God to bless Su Cairen, don't be frightened by the vulgar appearance of your group of rough embryos, it's terrible to startle Feng Jia, you know?" Su Cairen has a dragonborn by his side. ”

Immediately, a little eunuch suddenly realized: "It turned out that it was Su Cairen, I heard that it was originally a palace maid, and she was not a slave like us, look at the creation of others, and there is a dragon descendant." Tsk, I really can't catch up. ”

"Phew, something that has no interest, what do you envy, you are born to work hard, can you also give birth to a little prince for the emperor?" One of the eunuchs in the crowd who was a little more senior scolded with a smile.

Several people laughed, He Yuwang immediately looked at the left and right carefully, and scolded again, "Little rabbit cub who doesn't understand the rules, Lao Tzu will kill you, this kind of thing can also be said here?" Be careful that master passes by here again, and send you all to the Servitude Division, and clean up all the boards, and save me from worrying. Look at how steady the little man is. ”

Chen Yan was the only one who didn't laugh.

"He was stupid by your old scare just now, and he didn't enter the palace for long." Several people laughed.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The interior of the hall is extremely festive.

The floor was covered with a thick carpet inlaid with gold wire, and the beams were covered with delicately painted palace lamps and red silk flowers.

The main hall is supported by six pairs of tall copper pillars, and there are one-person-high carved silver candlesticks next to the copper pillars.

There is a table with carved gold dragon trim in the front, and the dragon chair behind it is naturally made by the emperor, and Qi Long has not come over yet. On the left sat the queen, and on the right was Ni Guifei, both of whom had already arrived.

On either side of the table is a table of rosewood, and beside the table are jade vases, which are inserted with freshly prepared plum blossoms, some of which still hold a little residual snow on the petals. The aroma of plum blossoms and candles blends to create a warm and intoxicating atmosphere, and behind the table are soft embroidered cushions and cushions, behind which are court maids and eunuchs, pouring wine and tea for the concubines, and serving dishes.

Su Mi stepped into the main hall, and most of the high-grade palace concubines in the harem had already arrived.

The scale of the banquet convened by the emperor's personal decree is naturally not comparable to the small banquet summoned by the queen, although it is only the scale of the family banquet, but if there are no special circumstances, the harem concubines must be decorated according to the product and officially attend.

Behind the first table under the queen's head sat Qiyan, there was still an empty seat next to Qiyan, and then the next table sat Chen Shufei and Li Xianfei from the first rank and four concubines, and then Luo Zhaoyi and Shen Xiuyuan among the nine concubines.

Ni Guifei bowed her head, and sat Concubine Wen and Concubine Yun among the six concubines, and several noble concubines, including Zheng Guifei.

In the next order, there are the concubines with lower ranks. Qi Long has not succeeded to the throne for too long, and most of the concubines in the harem, especially the high-grade concubines, are vacant.

As soon as Su Mi stepped into the hall, he saw Qiyan waving to him, and Su Mi stepped forward and sat down under the meaningful gaze of everyone. Originally, the position of the two people in the harem really shouldn't sit in such a high position, but now that both of them are pregnant, no matter how much dissatisfaction there are concubines, they can only be pressed in their stomachs and dare not show it.

Su Mi sat next to Qiyan and looked into the hall, where all the concubines were wearing beautiful makeup and beautiful clothes. Through the plum blossoms and snow, it shines dazzlingly. It's no wonder that all the concubines are trying their best, even if she is one of the four concubines, Concubine Chen Shu, once she loses her favor, she won't see the emperor at all for most of the year, except for this kind of formal occasion. Therefore, all of them are trying their best to attract the favor of the king.

The queen is wearing a red court dress embroidered with colorful gold phoenix today, wearing a delicate silk bead golden phoenix, twelve phoenix tails will firmly fix the hair bun into the style of the fairy bun, the phoenix head is held high, the phoenix mouth holds a delicate and delicate rich Ruyi, there are three strings of pearls hanging below, the bottom of each string is the size of a lotus seed, the one in the middle is a big circle, is hanging between the forehead, exudes a soft light, it is actually three night pearls, the brilliance flows, the queen's face is more dazzling. It is a phoenix crown, dazzling and bright.

Ni Guifei is wearing a simple sky blue embroidered dark flower dress, and only wears a side tail thin phoenix on her head, the phoenix tail made of colorful gems neatly holds the bun, and there are several beads pinned to the side of the bun, all of which are made of large pearls, the strangest thing is that each bead exudes a faint blue fluorescence, and even the clothes also emit this kind of brilliance, from a distance, Ni Yelin seems to be sitting in the light, bright and moving.

"My sister's beads are chic, and the style of the clothes is also fresh, I think this button and beads seem to be the pearls of the night, right?" The queen asked with a kind face.

The night pearl is originally rare, and particles of this size are extremely rare ornaments, which can be met but not sought, the queen was born in the first powerful and wealthy Wang family in Daqi, and she also cherishes this golden phoenix with the night pearl very much, and it will not be easily used on a formal occasion. But when I saw Ni Guifei today, not only the beads and even the buttons of the clothes were glowing night pearls, but none of the particles were inferior to her own golden phoenix, and the queen couldn't help but be curious.

"Sister Queen said with a smile, what is Ye Lin's position, how dare she use the night pearl to make beads and buttons, besides, our Ni family has always been poor, and we can't afford to use it." Ni Guifei said immediately.

"Oh, I think this bead is very bright, it's not a night pearl, but it's strange." The queen laughed. Your Ni family is poor, this is really strange. The territory of the Ni family is the famous and rich Yongzhou in the Kyushu of the world, with prosperous commerce and trade, rich in the world, although the Ni family has always been low-key, but its wealth and luxury can be seen from Ni Guifei's daily actions.

"It's just some ordinary Hepu beads, ordinary varieties, where can I compare to the queen's mother, who was born in a famous family, and found such a big night pearl, presumably for a while, the emperor's eyes will be led over, hehe." Ni Guifei covered her mouth and chuckled.

The queen's face was a little bad, and then she smiled again: "Where is it a rare thing, if my sister likes this golden phoenix, why don't you say it earlier, and give it to my sister." ”

"Ye Lin doesn't dare to ask for it, the twelve-tailed golden phoenix is only qualified to be worn by the queen's mother, how dare the concubine heal? And...... Niangniang 'cherishes the baby' this golden phoenix...... Hehe...... As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take the favor of others. Ni Yelin's smile became more and more sweet.

The queen really had the urge to slam her golden phoenix down on Ni Guifei's smiling face.

"My sister is so radiant, I can't even take my eyes off my sister. Later, when the emperor sees it, I'm afraid that it will be as amazing as two years ago, how can my sister, who is already old, compare," the queen sighed. "These two years have been really fleeting. Now that I see the new sisters sitting down, I really have to be convinced, and I have to sigh. ”

Ni Guifei's face was also a little unbearable, the queen's words were clearly reminding her that her favor had been two years ago, and no matter how much she bothered to dress up, it was useless. She wanted to refute again, but when she saw the queen stacking these words, she turned her head and spoke to Su Mi under the seat, and she couldn't help but feel depressed in her heart.

In fact, what she just said is indeed the truth, her beads are indeed Hepu pearls, but recently she found a rare skilled craftsman from Yongzhou, with the secret technique of the ancestors, hollowing out the pearl, pouring a solution mixed with luminous powder, and then using a needle as thin as a cow's hair to pierce the fine holes outside the pearl, so that the solution seeps out to the surface of the pearl, so that the ordinary pearl looks like a dotted and fluorescent.

"What's wrong with Su Cairen?" The queen asked with a concerned expression. "I heard Liu Cairen say just now, it seems that he is not in good health on the road."

"My sister is a little unwell, and she almost fainted just now." Qiyan interjected.

"Thank you for the queen's concern, the concubine is fine, just played for a while, and she was a little tired. It's out of the way. Su Mi cheered up and replied with a smile.

"That's good, if there is anything wrong, we can't afford it, I don't know when tonight's feast will be, if you feel tired, you can go into the apse to rest for a while, the dragonborn is important."

"The lesson of the mother is that there is a labor mother who bothered." Su Mi replied respectfully.

"The emperor has arrived!" As he was talking, the eunuch at the door made a long announcement, Qi Long walked in, and there was a man with a long body and a jade body, it was Qi Hao, the Prince of Yu, and this was the second time Su Mi had seen him.

The queen was taken aback when she saw Qi Hao coming in, the family banquet where the concubines of the harem gathered, even the prince is still a man after all, and it stands to reason that he should avoid it.

"I just came from the Qianqing Palace, and I just finished discussing things with Prince Yu, so I came over together." Qi Long said: "They are all their own brothers, and there is no need to talk about so many vulgar etiquette and taboos." ”

After listening to Qi Long's words, the queen turned around and hurriedly ordered the little eunuch to arrange the tables and chairs, and there was a rush again, so a table was added under Ni Guifei. It was just across from Su Mi and Qiyan.

The queen and Ni Guifei got up to serve Qi Long and sat down, Qi Long saw Ni Guifei, her eyes flashed with admiration, and she couldn't help but take her hand and praise: "Ye Lin's dress today is chic." ”

"Emperor Xie praised," Ni Guifei is very happy, and the concubines are carefully dressed, isn't it just for such a look and a word of praise? She just wanted to say something more, but the queen said on the side: "The concubine just went to the queen mother to ask for peace, and the queen mother said that she meditated and worshipped the Buddha and didn't participate in this kind of excitement, so she won't come today." It's just the body of the queen mother......"

Qi Long immediately let go and turned his head and asked, "There's nothing wrong with the queen mother, right?" ”

"There's nothing big wrong, I think his old man's health is okay, but the weather has been too cold recently, and he is a little depressed, so the concubine persuaded her to come here to relax." The queen smiled wisely.

"Well, if there is anything uncomfortable, it is better to call the imperial doctor early." Qi Long said.

Qi Long chatted with the queen, Ni Guifei was stacked on the side and couldn't talk at all, the queen mother is the queen's aunt and the sister of the general Wang Hao, although Ni Yelin has never rejected her, but she will not like her specifically. Ni Yelin was depressed again.

After Prince Yu Qi Hao sat down, he glanced down with an unchanged expression, his eyes passed by Su Mi's table, paused slightly, and then moved away as if nothing happened.

Qiyan looked at Qi Hao, and immediately recognized him as the person who was by the blue wave pool that day, and couldn't help but lean into Su Mi's ear and whispered, while talking, he turned his head to look at Qi Hao, and glanced at Qi Hao, the eyes of the two touched, Qiyan shivered in a flash, and only felt as if he was being seen through from the inside out.

"It's strange, he seems to have heard my words, obviously so far away......" Qiyan muttered quietly, not daring to say more.

Of course he could hear it, Su Mi smiled slightly, she remembered that when she met Qi Hao for the first time that day, Qi Hao only wore a thin white light shirt when the water was dripping into ice, and at that time she knew that the other party must be a martial arts master who cultivates both inside and outside.

I just don't know what kind of variables his appearance will add to today's feast! The hint that Chen Yan gave her just now was obvious enough, and when she thought of the scene of the troupe she met in Tianxiang Garden, Su Mi was already very clear that the origin of today's troupe was not simple, and the purpose was certainly not so simple.

What should I do?

Expose them? There is no evidence, and when the time comes, how did Su Cairen know that there were assassins in the troupe? How do you answer yourself?

What should I do to bring the most benefit to myself?

Su Mi thought for a moment, leaned back slightly, beckoned Mi Qing to her side, took her hand, and whispered a few words in her ear, Mi Qing's face was surprised, and then he calmed down and took the order.

"What did my sister just say?" Qiyan next to him asked curiously.

"I'm afraid that today's feast will be late, I'm afraid that I won't be able to drink, so I'll tell her to go back and prepare some sobering soup." Su Mi said with a smile.

"Ah, my sister is really thoughtful. I should have told them to be prepared. Qiyan clapped his hands.

Su Mi smiled silently, raised her head, but saw Qi Hao looking at her thoughtfully, she couldn't help but tighten her heart, and then calmed down. What she was talking about in Mi Qing's ear just now was indeed a decanting soup, but the real order was to scratch her hand with her finger while the two of them were holding hands.

She won't show any flaws!

The feast began.

All kinds of delicacies were served like water, and the palace maids at each table cleverly warmed wine and cloth dishes for the concubines.

As soon as a call was made, the troupe also came into the hall and began to perform.

A total of twelve people came in the troupe, half of them were stout men, and the rest were young men and women, all of whom wore tight-fitting colorful clothes, and their gestures were neat. When I entered the main hall, I immediately erected a few small wooden shelves, and two tower-like men held two huge red lanterns, and after a while, they were ready, and everyone began to perform. Under the dazzling lights, these dozen or so people continue to make smooth and difficult movements like water, their skills are light and flexible, and the transition is seamless. Although it is not as gorgeous and dazzling as the authentic singing and dancing in the palace, it is fresh and chic, and all the concubines can't take their eyes off it.

A few men below were lifted into the air, jumped up lightly, and hit the beam, waved their hands, and didn't know what means were used, the lanterns that were originally hanging on the beams burst slightly, turning into countless pieces of paper with broken gold and red scattering, all cut into petals, falling from the air, extremely gorgeous.

Immediately afterwards, two huge red lanterns also suddenly opened, and there were two small girls sitting on their knees, they stood up, the lantern was split in half, the upper part was held in the hands of the two girls, slightly folded and changed, and immediately became two golden lotus, the man below used his hand to support, the two cooperated with their feet a little, and immediately flew up, the two girls were wearing heavy makeup, dressed as a scattered flower girl, holding the golden lotus, bending and dancing lightly in the air, and making various graceful and seductive movements between ups and downs, All of a sudden, the ribbons fluttered, the flowers were clustered, with the wave of the golden lotus, countless colorful flowers fluttered out of the lotus sky, flew down on the carpet, and the people in the hall were amazed.

Su Mi's palms were sweating at this time, and if he wanted to stab, there was no more suitable opportunity than at this moment. Imperceptibly, she took off the jade pendant that adorned the tassels on the side of her clothes and put them in her arms.

Accompanied by high-pitched music, the two flew up for the last time, the golden lotus lamp exploded, turning into countless fine gold dust scattered, the two girls raised their hands, two red silk floated upward, and then a banner fell from the beam, on which was written the gilded seal book in large characters, "Lingyun Yuque Yang Towering Haode Table Three Realms Xiao Han Imperial Residence Zhan Su Mu Boen Zhan Kyushu." The banner reads "Long live my emperor" four golden words, which are particularly solemn and eye-catching in the flying gold dust in the sky. The concubines couldn't help but marvel.

At the moment when the two girls jumped, Su Mi's heart also rose to her throat.

However, who knows, after unfurling the banner, the two women floated down leisurely, and stood with the rest of the troupe bowing and bowing.

There was no assassination?! Su Mi's heart also sank, and she couldn't help but be surprised, could they have a better chance?

When Su Mi was puzzled, the troupe had already kowtowed and thanked him and stood at the door of the hall.

Qi Long looked at it with great interest, and ordered the inner supervisors around him to reward him repeatedly.

The queen smiled: "These folk juggling lanterns and other things are also rare, compared to the songs and dances in the palace, there is a different flavor, Your Majesty is also happy with the people today." ”

Today's banquet is managed by the queen, and seeing Qi Long's high interest, the queen is naturally very face-saving.

Ni Guifei glanced at the queen and smiled at Qi Long: "Your Majesty, now that the banquet is about to start, the concubines have something to offer to the emperor tonight." ”

"Oh, what?" Qi Long asked.

"A few days ago, my father found a strange tea in Yizhou, I was very surprised, but I couldn't think of a name, today I specially dedicated it to the emperor, and asked the emperor to teach?"

"Really? Then take it in and have a look. "Qi Long is in a very good mood, it is the New Year's pass, and the connection between the government and the government in recent days is good news, Nan Chen just ceded the land and sued for peace a few days ago, so Ni Guifei's father Ni Yuan was also recalled to the capital, and two more concubines in the harem were pregnant, which made him happy.

Ni Guifei clapped her hands gently, and Xia Zhen, the personal palace maid beside her, immediately went out to pass the word, and after a while, a man in Tsing Yi walked into the hall with a gold plate.

On the plate was a delicately carved gold box, and when the man in Tsing Yi walked to the hall, Gao Shengnuo immediately stepped forward to take the box and handed it over to the steward and eunuch for inspection, and then presented it.

Qi Long opened the box, and a tea fragrance immediately overflowed, and for a while, the whole hall smelled it.

Everyone couldn't help but be moved. At that time, it was extremely popular among the aristocratic upper class of the countries, and many of the concubines present were good at the tea ceremony.

"This is ......" Qi Long looked at the contents of the box with a look of surprise on his face, is this tea? Qi Long gently picked up one of them, looking like it was clearly a piece of petals? However, there is a kind of tea fragrance that is extremely clean, which comes to the nose and is refreshing.

"It's ......"

"Sister Yun is a knowledgeable and talented woman, I don't know if Sister Yun can recognize this?" Ni Guifei looked at Qi Long's reaction with satisfaction, then looked up at Concubine Yun with a smile and asked.

Qi Long's eyes also turned to Concubine Yun, she has always been good at tea ceremony, well-informed and heard in the harem.

Concubine Yun knew that Ni Guifei was entertaining herself, and her teeth itched with hatred in her heart, but under the emperor's gaze, she still had to reply respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the concubines don't know." How can a poor concubine be as well-informed as a concubine? What kind of talented woman is really ashamed. ”

"Haven't you even heard of Yiran?" Qi Long became interested and asked, "Where did you find this?" ”

"Back to the emperor, this is something that my father found in a valley on the border, speaking of which, there is still an accident." Ni Guifei glanced around, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.

"A few days ago, when my father led the army to attack Chen, he took people to a place in Yizhou to reconnoitre, passing by a valley, and smelled the fragrance of tea from a distance, thinking that there must be people living in it, and wanted to go over to ask for a bowl of water to drink, who knew that when he entered the valley, he saw that all the plum blossoms planted in the valley were in full bloom, but the strange thing was that the flowers exuded was not the aroma of ordinary white plums, but the valley was full of tea fragrance, and the valley was empty. This is really strange, my father ordered someone to carefully investigate, and sent people to inquire around, it turned out that this place was a huge tea garden, but unfortunately because of the war has been no one to take care of, and no one knows, for hundreds of years has been allowed to let the tea trees here grow naturally, the leaves are growing, the tea leaves on the ground accumulate more and more, and gradually fall into mud, now even the humus is with the fragrance of tea, until a few decades ago, a major drought made the tea trees in the valley die, only a few wild plum trees are still alive, I don't know if it's contaminated with the aura in the valley, but when the plum blossoms bloom, there is a bit of tea fragrance. But I don't know where the tea fragrance comes from, but I'm afraid that it is a spiritual seed blessed by God. Ni Guifei said eloquently: "A few days ago, the emperor graciously summoned my father back to Beijing to take up his post, so I brought some back. ”

"I can't imagine that the Ni family can even find this kind of thing." Thinking of the "White Jade and Green Frost" that she offered a few days ago, how did the queen not know that Ni Guifei offered this kind of thing at this time to suppress her, and immediately smiled: "General Ni really has hands and eyes, I don't know how much manpower and material resources it took to get it, right?" ”

"Lingmu is natural, my generation occasionally got it, but my father accidentally discovered that it was God who blessed me Daqi, so that this kind of spiritual thing came to the world, but it was passed on by my father's hand, where it is comparable to Niangniang, and even Nan Chen's famous tea can be obtained." Ni Guifei said with a smile. The queen hinted that their Ni family was too powerful, how could she not hear it, if you want to talk about power, who can compare to your Wang family.

Qi Long glanced at the queen with a slight displeasure, turned to Ni Guifei and said: "Ni Shangshu has also worked hard, he has made great achievements in Nanchen this time, not to mention, I can't imagine that even such a small thing is thoughtful for me." ”

"My father is just borrowing the emperor's blessing this time, so he has made a small contribution, it is not worth mentioning at all, where can he be as good as the emperor's Wencheng martial arts, Ze was born, and even this kind of heterogeneous tea came into being." Ni Guifei laughed respectfully.

"Well," Qi Long was in a good mood, nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "Does this tea have a name?" ”

Ni Guifei hurriedly smiled: "I don't have a name yet, but even this kind of strange product has come to the world, it must be a sign from heaven, praise me for being a great Qi Lingren, and ask the emperor to give me an auspicious name." ”

Qi Long looked at the petals in his hand, the shape was round like a pearl, the color was as white as jade, but the petals were a little red on the head, very cute, carefully smelled, the tea fragrance was also with the fragrance of plum blossoms, it was integrated, difficult to distinguish, and smiled: "Sure enough, it is a good omen, since it is a plum petal, it is better to call it 'Snow Soul Condensation Pearl'"

"What a name," Ni Guifei clapped her hands. "Sure enough, it is a name given by the emperor, it is beautiful and elegant, and it is different."

The concubines also immediately praised, "The sky will be auspicious." "Bless the Great Qi." All of a sudden, the hall was full of auspicious words and blessings, singing praises of virtue.

The queen's face darkened imperceptibly, and she turned her head to look at Concubine Yun.

Concubine Yun immediately understood, thought about it for a while, and immediately had a plan in her heart.

She glanced at Ni Guifei and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not talented, there is a poem, I am willing to dedicate it to the emperor and congratulate this auspicious omen." ”

"Yiran has always been talented, since it can be turned into a poem in an instant, chant it quickly and listen to it." Qi Long said with a smile.

Concubine Yun stood up, contemplated for a moment, and said leisurely, "Although the concubine didn't have the opportunity to see it, you can also imagine the fragrant and unique beauty in the valley, which is:

The name is precious according to the son of heaven,

The family of the Emperor of the Roots.

The aroma is strong and colorful,

The flowers are red.

The scenery is thick with three halls,

Rain and dew nine credits.

Since it is the fortune of the time,

Non-dry spring alone. ”

After reciting, Concubine Yun looked at Qi Long with a smile, and said with a variety of charms: "The concubine's ugly work makes the emperor laugh." She was dressed in a turquoise palace dress, the waist of the palace skirt was cut very thin, close to the body, the cuffs and skirt turned wider, the corners of the skirt were decorated with jade pendants, her hair was pulled up high, and she wore a set of jade jewelry from southern Xinjiang on her head. Between the lines, the green and crystal clear jade steps on both sides shook gently, jingling, and there was really a Chu Chu style of "fairies out of the forest, Gu Ying pity each other".

"Okay, good, Yiran really cares." Qi Long looked at Concubine Yun and smiled.

"Sister Yunfei is really talented." Ni Guifei also praised, but she secretly hated in her heart that half of the limelight she had carefully designed tonight was stolen by her.

"It's a pity that this kind of thing is rare but not sought." Qi Long put the petals in his hand into the box.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, since God gave me Daqi, how can I be negligent, my father has sent someone to guard the mountain forest, no one is allowed to enter the valley, and of course the plum blossoms in it are not allowed to be picked, just wait for the emperor to send someone to inspect and see it, and then deal with it." In the future, as long as you take care of it properly, you can pick it for Your Majesty and the Queen Mother every year. ”

"Well, it's hard for Ni Yuan to be loyal." Qi Long closed the gold box.

Seeing that the emperor had finished appreciating it, Gao Shengnuo stepped forward to pick up the gold box, handed it to the eunuch beside him, and walked in front of the man in Tsing Yi just now to lead the man down.

Suddenly, the man in Tsing Yi said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is something to play below." ”

Qi Long was stunned, and the queen and Ni Guifei were also stunned.

"What's the matter?" Qi Long replied reflexively.

The man in Tsing Yi raised his head, his original appearance and temperament were extremely ordinary, and he would not be noticeable at all. But the moment he looked up, it was like a sharp sword unsheathed, and the cold air overflowed, so that people couldn't take their eyes off him. A pair of dim eyes flashed, making his usual appearance indescribably brighter. The eyes were even sharper than the sword, and with a strange gentleness, it swept lightly over the people in front of them.

Swept by his eyes, it made people feel like they were under the hottest sun, and they were like standing naked in the cold ice.

With a clear and long laugh, the man in Tsing Yi raised his hand, and the brass plate that was originally held in his hand was thrown out like a flywheel, bringing a sharp whistling sound. The hand that had been hidden under the plate was immediately revealed, holding a glittering short sword.

The copper plate smashed into one of the two elderly inner prisoners who had been standing behind Qi Long with the sound of the wind, and at the same time, the sword in the hand of the man in Tsing Yi was already as fast as lightning and stabbed towards Qi Long like thunder.

At the moment when the man in Tsing Yi said something, Su Mi had already reacted, and she reflexively pulled Qiyan back quickly.

At the moment of lightning, the two inner prisoners behind Qi Long, who were originally old and inconspicuous, had already reacted, one raised his palm and slapped the copper plate in front of him, and the other quickly rose up to meet the man in Tsing Yi, and at this time, the sword of the man in Tsing Yi was far from touching the dragon table.

The eunuch who greeted the man in Tsing Yi turned over his hand, and then used his empty hand to catch the sharp blade of the man in Tsing Yi, the palm of his hand flashed with golden light, and he was wearing a glove made of unknown metal.

At the moment when the old eunuch's hand was about to touch the sword of the man in Tsing Yi, the man in Tsing Yi suddenly let out a long howl, the voice was high-pitched, tragic, strange and long, like a long rainbow breaking through the sky and rushing straight into the sky.

The howl sounded, and all the people in the hall were suddenly dizzy and crumbling, and the eunuch who bore the brunt of it in front of him felt a surge of qi and blood, and he was almost unable to lift his breath, and his body suddenly stagnated.

At this moment, the sword of the man in Tsing Yi quickly changed his move, the sword momentum was flat, and the palm of the golden light flashed by the wrong body, and then slashed the momentum, the sword light was unstoppable, the old eunuch hurriedly dodged back, the sword light crossed an arc, and it was too late to completely dodge, and in an instant, the sharp blade slashed between the waist and abdomen, and the blood was splashed on the spot, and Huang Quan died.

This battle was only in an instant, and many people in the hall did not react to what was happening at all.

"Bang dang!" With a muffled sound, the original brass plate was hit hard by the empty fist of another internal supervision master, "Qiang! There was a clear metal clash sounding, and the copper plate was bounced onto the copper pillar, and sparks flew everywhere.

Everything happens in an instant. The afterglow of the "bang" still wafted in the air, shaking the eardrums of everyone in the hall.

At this time, the concubines in the palace reacted that someone had assassinated them! Immediately, I don't know who screamed.

"Ah~~~~"

Sharp and piercing, hoarse. Immediately the fear spread, and suddenly, the concubines, eunuchs, and palace maids couldn't tell whether they were masters or slaves, and everyone was running around, screaming and running around.

The whole hall was a mess.

"Come on!"

At the same time as the Tsing Yi people launched, the artists who were originally standing on the side with their hands down and waiting to receive the reward quickly pounced on the lanterns and shelves. The wooden shelves were hollowed out, and compartments were made in the lanterns. Everyone quickly drew their weapons from it, and after that, immediately a few people rushed to the stage to support the Tsing Yi people, and the rest of the people under the leadership of the class master looked nervously at the temple gate, ready to block the guards who entered the temple to rescue and buy time for their companions.

As soon as the sword momentum of the man in Tsing Yi turned, he immediately stabbed towards Qi Long again, the power of this sword was stronger and faster than the previous sword, and for a moment it seemed that only the brilliance of this sword was left between heaven and earth. At this time, the hand of the other old eunuch who hit the flying copper plate had not yet had time to retract. Seeing that the sword of the man in Tsing Yi was about to reach Qi Long's eyes.

Qi Long was still dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

"Ding Dong ......" made a crisp sound, and with a sound like gold and stone intertwined, the thunderous sword momentum of the man in Tsing Yi was unexpectedly deflected to the ground, and he slashed Qi Long's neck.

"Ding Dong ......" something rebounded and fell to the ground, it was a rosewood inlaid with gold chopsticks.

The man in Tsing Yi turned his head, the strange look in his eyes appeared from time to time, and the man with a long body at the table next to him slowly stood up.

The person who shot was Prince Yu Qi Hao!
