Chapter VI

When I walked into Gyeongin Palace, the queen was dancing barefoot on the roof of the main hall and waving fireworks sticks. The palace maids and eunuchs below were all in a hurry, persuading the queen to come down and avoid falling and hurting. The queen ignored the advice of the crowd, and played by herself, letting out a string of crisp laughter like silver bells. She had a great time, but she didn't pay any attention to my visit.

It wasn't until Wu Liangfu reported for the third time that "the emperor has arrived" that everyone found me standing behind them. The queen was a little surprised to see me, and she giggled: "Your Majesty, you are here." She was about to roll over and climb down, but she stepped on the bricks and tiles, and was about to fall to the ground solidly, so I hurriedly stepped forward to pick her up. Luckily I caught her, but unfortunately with a 'click', I felt my muscles and muscles strained, and the hot pain irritated my nerves, so much so that the queen jumped out of my arms, and I still held her in my arms, not daring to move.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" The queen poked my arm curiously, and I grinned in pain in an instant. "Don't move me, I seem to have misaligned muscles and bones, help Imperial Doctor Xuan." When the queen heard this, she looked panicked, and hurriedly ordered someone to ask for a doctor, and Wu Liangfu also followed.

"Your Majesty, the concubine will help you into the house and rest first." Watching her reach over and hold my hand, I just felt angry and funny.

"Why don't you stay in the dormitory at night, what are you doing on the roof? I also play with fireworks sticks, what if the water runs out of the palace? You are a woman, and you don't have the dignity that a woman should have. Because of the pain in my arm, I couldn't help but let go of her.

"Your Majesty, it's wrong for the concubine to accidentally injure you, but who stipulates that as a woman, you can't do this, you can't do that, how boring it should be. Besides, Hua Mulan in the past, Mu Guiying was a heroine who didn't let her eyebrows go, if you think like you, how can there be a good story about Hua Mulan joining the army for her father and Mu Guiying taking command for her husband? "She has always been like this, her behavior is perverse, her mouth is very tough, you say a word, she can top a hundred sentences. I couldn't help but glare at her, and she shut up. I looked at her from head to toe and felt that it was really a reversal. But her personality is really like the big red flag suit she wears, enthusiastic and unrestrained. After all, I've never seen her wear anything other than red. She is not too heavy with a pearl and green gold hairpin, although she is born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her powder makeup is general, but this gaudy outfit is really a bad scenery.

"I ask you, where did you get your fireworks sticks? Don't you know that fireworks are forbidden in the palace? ”

"Your Majesty, you haven't been here to accompany Qionghua for a long time, I have no friends in this palace, and I don't have anything fun to pass the time, so I ordered someone to find a fireworks stick." The queen wrinkled her face, as if to blame me for snubbing her.

"Whoever is so bold in your palace should be punished by the law in my palace for fifty." I didn't mean to answer her words, I thought about deliberately scaring and scaring her, but I didn't expect her to be really anxious.

"No one, if you want to hit someone, hit me, as long as you are willing." She simply tilted her neck, with an expression of death, and she was not afraid of flashing her neck, and she didn't know where she got her confidence that I was reluctant to hit her. "You cherish your minions." I really can't do anything about her, only the helplessness of crying and laughing.

I was chatting with the queen, the doctor came, and after the doctor saw it, he only said that it was a muscle strain, as long as the arm was not overstrained recently, it would be good to let people massage and massage for a few days. The queen listened but was not at ease, and was willing to let go only if the imperial doctor prescribed a body nourishment, and the imperial doctor had no choice but to help me prescribe two calming medicinal meals. This night, after the imperial doctor left, the queen persuaded me to stay on the grounds that I was injured and inconvenient to move, and I did not shirk this time, and for the first time I slept with the queen in the same bed.

I suddenly don't hate the queen so much, although she is often unreasonable and makes the palace smoky, but at least sincere, passionate, innocent, and kind.

The next day, I was busy with court affairs in the Qianqing Palace, and the queen felt guilty and moved about my injury, so she personally stewed soup and medicine for me. When she saw the holy decree of the draft on the table, her little face turned white and red, and she asked me angrily: "Qionghua has just entered the palace for a year, and the emperor can't help but like the new and hate the old?" is also a wide selection of girls, marrying so many women in the palace, are you spoiled one by one? ”

"Since ancient times, men have had three wives and four concubines, not to mention that I am the emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme, so naturally I need three thousand beauties in the harem to match my identity." Saying that, I patted the back of her head, but was pierced by her hair ornament, I snorted, but the queen gave me a blank look, and after stepping on me with her foot, she left a sentence of "deserved" and walked away with a high spirit, leaving me with a painful jump. I couldn't help but whisper "shrew".

The days flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when I entered the palace. Madame and master, no, it should be said that my Ama Eniang and Sister Yuqin brought more than 30 people from all over the family to see me off. "Liangxi, remember that after entering the palace, whether you are selected or not, don't show your edge, and do things in a low-key manner," the words of the instructions were said over and over again, but I couldn't help crying. In the end, Mama Shuang from the palace said that the hour was not early, so I said goodbye to Ama Eniang and Sister Yuqin and sat in the sedan chair. Only Feyangu's brother and his uncle were not present when they traveled abroad, and they hadn't seen each other for months, so I didn't know if they would ever see each other again in the future.

I don't know how long I was jolting in the sedan chair, but the sedan chair stopped just as I was about to vomit in disgust. Mama lifted the curtains on the car and helped me get out of the sedan chair. As far as I could see, the Forbidden City was as magnificent as it had been rumored. Looking through the open palace gate, the palace buildings are continuous, and the sunlight shines on the golden glazed tiles, and the light refracted is even more brilliant. Walking through the white brick road, I arrived at Chuxiu. The majestic palaces along the way made me feel very small, and the majesty of the royal family was really powerful.

When I arrived, there were already a lot of show girls gathered in the courtyard. Everyone is wearing a colorful brocade dress, and the flag head is also painstakingly dressed up with bells and whistles, but it makes me a little dizzy in front of my eyes.

"Liangxi," someone patted me on the shoulder, and I turned around to see that it was a show girl, dignified and delicate, and a little familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it for a while.

"You ......"

"I'm Jingshu, Tong Jingshu!" As soon as I heard his name, I remembered that she was indeed my childhood playmate, Tong Jingshu. Back then, his father often took her to my house to play, and after so many years, she has not changed much except for her immature and childish nature.

"It turned out to be Sister Jingshu", after I bowed to her and saluted, I saw another show girl standing next to him, who was very smart.

"Liangxi, why are you here......" Tong Jingshu suddenly asked.

"My sister said it was funny, I naturally came to participate in the draft." My heart suddenly clenched, for fear of leaking something and causing misfortune to Dong E's family, so I hurriedly interrupted her. "My name is Dong E Liangxi, I don't know what this sister is called?" I stepped forward and took the hand of the show girl next to Tong Jingshu.
