Chapter Seventy-One: The Swing Rope
Someone once said that the struggle for imperial power is actually a struggle for the right to live and die. A person who is happy and angry determines life and death, and a word of speech takes wealth and wealth, and whoever has such an ability will get the handle of power.
The powerful ministers, traitors, and relatives of the emperor in history are frightening and awe-inspiring, not because they have such rights.
There are not a few such people at home and abroad in ancient and modern times, and my Han Dynasty is not excluded, before there were two palaces of the queen mother and the Wang family standing at the peak of this right, and now at this peak, stands the emperor's new favorite Gao Anhou Dong Xian.
Jia Sheng pushed the door in, walked to Du Yun's side, and handed over a pair of Danqing calligraphy and paintings: "Childe, Master Shi Dan has sent calligraphy and paintings again, please taste them." ”
Du Yun let out a disapproving "um", and his eyes never left the bamboo slips on the bookcase. This is a fragment of "Ancient Chinese Legends" that Defuhai memorized from Tianlu Pavilion.
Jia Sheng put the scroll in his hand into a box and put it on the mahogany black lacquered Duobao Pavilion.
Closing the bamboo slip, Du Yun lazily instructed Jia Sheng: "Please invite Master Shi Dan to come over for tea in the afternoon." ”
Jia Sheng turned around and replied respectfully, "Yes, Childe." ”
"What is Minxian going to do?" Du Yun asked again.
"Sister Minxian accompanied Shizi to practice in the morning, and then met Defuhai and asked for a bamboo slip for her son, and then she stayed in the room and didn't go out."
"I'll go see her." Du Yun stood up as he spoke, and walked towards the side room of the Xuan Room's side hall.
The palace is inhabited by the palace maids of each palace room, which is divided into large courtyards and small courtyards, and there are differences between east and west, north and south.
Li Xiaosi lives in the best East Wing compound among the palace maids, with a row of three small courtyards and a palm-sized garden. In the garden, Du Yun made a swing for her and a wooden stake.
Li Xiaosi sat on the swing, tilted his head and looked at the wooden stake and smirked: Du Yun made it with his own hands, he said that all his jewelry and power were given by the emperor, and only one heart was his own, so he made these with his own hands and gave them to her.
This one...... Does it mean that he is sending his heart? Li Xiaosi smirked with a flushed face, and he didn't even notice that Du Yun was approaching.
"What are you so happy about?" Du Yun walked behind Li Xiaosi and naturally pushed gently.
"Uh...... There you are. When Li Xiaosi saw Du Yun who suddenly appeared, he thought he was hallucinating, until Du Yun's warm palm touched his back.
The swing fluctuated slightly, and Li Xiaosi's long hair rippled, passing between Du Yun's fingers, like a feather falling on his heart. The hand is retracted like an electric shock and placed on the ropes on both sides.
The swing slowly slowed down, quietly still, and Li Xiaosi's head was just nestled in Du Yun's heart. Like a strong invasion of the heavenly gods, they captured Duyun's heart in an instant. The heart is slightly hot, like a city engulfed in fire.
"It's cold outside, don't freeze." Du Yun's always gentle and calm eyes flashed a trace of panic and walked into the room.
Li Xiaosi did not hesitate, and chased after him: "Duyun, thank you, I like swings and stakes so much." ”
Du Yun's expression quickly cleaned up without the slightest difference, and looked at Li Xiaosi with a smile: "It's good if you like it." ”
Li Xiaosi helped Duyun bring a cup of hot tea, tea foam brewed with coarse porcelain well water: "You taste it, I'll cook it." ”
Li Xiaosi is not particular about these, nor is he good at it, and Du Yun, who is accustomed to Jin Yu Jia Tea, will not be picky: "It's delicious, you have made progress again." ”
Xu sat on the swing outside for too long just now, Li Xiaosi's hands were a little cold, and Du Yun put a pair of soft wattles in his hands to cover them.
"I've already read the book you sent, and if Defuhai is not mistaken, I think I already know who he is."
Li Xiaosi understood in his heart, what Du Yun was talking about was referring to a strange guardian, a headless man.
Li Xiaosi's eyes widened and he was interested: "Who is it, is he really headless, how can he live without a head, is he very powerful......
"Have you ever heard the story of the spear and shield?" Duyun deliberately sold Guanzi.
"Yes." Li Xiaosi nodded violently, looking eager.
"According to records, Chiyou and Xingtian were both great tribes in ancient times, they lived in the south and belonged to Emperor Yan. Later, the Yanhuang War, the Yan Emperor was defeated, and the Chiyou tribe refused to accept it, and united with the Xingtian Department to take revenge, the Chiyou tribe was good at forging weapons, and the Xingtian Department was good at refining human puppets. In later legends, the human puppet became the representative of the Xingtian tribe, and the battle with the emperor evolved into a mythical story of the Xingtian dance. ”
The temperature in the palm of his hand was still not warm enough, Du Yun sighed softly towards the palm of his hand, and then continued: "Human puppets need to be refined together with one yin and one yang, and it is difficult to refine. But once refined, it must be a pair, one is as indestructible as a grass, and the other is as strong as a shield. ”
After speaking, Du Yun took Li Xiaosi's hand and sat beside him, very serious: "Hear clearly, they are refined with ancient secret techniques, and they are very powerful, don't be willful, don't be curious, don't provoke them easily." ”
Li Xiaosi's eyes were like crescent moons, he smiled beautifully, and nodded: "Well, don't worry, I'm not a child." ”
Du Yun is not optimistic about the word "reassuring", Li Xiaosi relies on his good skills, and he is a little rebellious, where does Du Yun dare to rest assured.
"Their only weakness is their neck, so they retract their necks into their bodies to make them look like they're headless."
"I'd love to know who is more powerful of these two monsters." Li Xiaosi grinned, she also knows a few kinds of secret techniques, it is powerful, but many secret techniques will have fatal shortcomings, don't be afraid.
"What we see is supposed to be the protector of the Emperor, the shield between the two. Mao, we haven't even seen each other, so don't make up your mind, beware of them, don't make a big deal. ”
"Uh...... I understand what you mean, don't be impulsive, well, okay. Li Xiaosi's hands were warm, holding his cheeks, and looking at his pulses, until Du Yun didn't say anything before he spoke, and then left with red ears.
Originally...... Molestation, so much fun!
……
How humble the family is, but they can't stand the fact that the emperor has few concubines and concubines, and things are rare and expensive, Luo Xia is naturally not what it used to be.
But who is Sisi, one of the three princes, Miss Yan of the Da Situ family, behind the support of the most noble woman in the world, the Queen Mother, others are afraid of Luo Xia, how can Sisi be afraid.
When they met on a narrow road, the two were tense.
"Poof, who do you think it is, the cold wind blows in this lake pavilion in winter. It turned out to be Luo Niangniang, the slave was clumsy and didn't recognize it, please forgive me. She was always delicate, but her eyes were full of contempt.
Luo Xia's father is just a seventh-grade petty official, and since he entered the palace, he has been low and small, and he doesn't dare to easily show the first half of people.
But Luo Xia can enter the palace and be selected into the Yunguang Palace, how can she be a mediocre person. Not to mention that the general is amazing, let's just say that her appearance is also the best among people. Arrogance, she has it too. Now that you are in power, why be cautious.
As soon as she raised her head, Luo Xia was aggressive: "It's good to know that you are a slave and maidservant, and the people of the palace will mock me when they see that I am not respectful or worshipful." It can be known that if you are disrespectful to the harem concubines, you are disrespectful to Your Majesty. ”
"Luo Xia, you dare." Qi Sisi was held down by Luo Xia's maidservant and was furious: "Luo Xia, do you think you have done a seamless job of stealing beams and changing pillars?" If Your Majesty finds out about this, what will happen to you? ”
When Luo Xia heard this, she was very frightened, her hands were tightly pulled, and her nails were deep in the flesh. Suddenly, a thought flashed, and a fierce determination rose in his chest.
"Don't slap your mouth, don't you have a very good relationship with your sister, from the palace. I'm going to be a good person today and send you to her. ”
