Chapter 25: The Divine Decree Arrives
The emerald green jade bracelet has a moist luster, faintly as if there is a halo flowing inside, and at a glance you know that it is worth a lot, "This jade bracelet is given to you, just take it as a meeting gift from me to you." ”
The fair-skinned slender jade fingers reflect the emerald green, which is particularly beautiful.
Chu Jun regretted to excuse himself, since it was a gift from the emperor, how could he give it away at will, "Thank you Chen Meiren for your kindness, Ning He has a heart, but this jade bracelet, Ning He can't accept it." ”
"Princess Ninghe, isn't it bad to dislike this jade bracelet?"
Chu Jun excused herself, and then watched the emerald green fall from her fingertips to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound, she looked up in panic, and saw Chen Meiren's face instantly gloomy.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
"No, it's not, I don't ...... at all"
Chen Jingxian sneered, and her soft and elegant disappeared, "I know that the emperor is not ordinary to you, but don't forget that this is Gutuo, and it is not your turn to be presumptuous." ”
"Do you know what the crime of destroying the emperor's gifts is?" Song Shuyi said casually, as if she was watching a good show that was about to start.
Wen Siying smiled proudly, "To destroy the things given by the emperor is not to put the emperor in his eyes, I didn't expect Princess Ninghe to be so bold, Concubine Su is not here today, it is better for Chen Meiren to admonish this slut, let her know what can be touched and what cannot be touched, who can be messed with and who can't be messed with." ”
"Get on your knees." Chen Jingxian's voice seemed to be blended with the cold wind blowing in her face like a knife. "Someone, slap twenty."
The waiter next to her stepped forward, stood in front of Chu Junxi, and shot mercilessly, Chu Junxi could feel the chill brought by the wave of her palm, and then the heat burned on her face, and the crisp slap sounded, and five red marks suddenly appeared on her fair face.
"Didn't you eat?" Chen Jingxian squinted her eyes, the cold light in her eyes was as sharp as a knife, and she wanted to kill the person kneeling on the ground, "Do you need me to teach you how to fight?" ”
The waiter was frightened and waved his hand harder, as if he had exhausted all his strength. Soon, blood overflowed from the corners of Chu Junxi's mouth, and bright red blood bloomed at the corners of her mouth like red plums in the snow, and then dripped to the ground along her chin.
His ears were buzzing and his vision became blurry, Chu Junxi gritted his teeth and didn't let himself moan. I already knew that there would be some sisterhood in this harem, and it was true that there was a knife hidden in the smile, and if I was too careless, I would be deceived by Chen Jingxian's gentle appearance, and this time it can be regarded as a lesson for myself.
The white snowflakes fall lightly from the sky, like a fairy dancing the most beautiful dance in the world, occasionally the wind blows, and the snowflakes that were originally fluttering and sprinkled change their original direction, become messy, and fall to the ground, like frost covering the earth.
There was a pinpoint-like pain in the knees, the flat bluestone slabs seemed to have turned into sharp needles and felts, the legs didn't seem to be their own, and the cold spread from the knees all over the body, and Chu Jun regretted that the whole person was like an ice cave.
After twenty beatings, Chu Junxi's right face was swollen like a steamed bun, the pain was hot, and the blood in her mouth was already flowing, and she swallowed the blood in her mouth with great effort, "Chen Meiren taught me a lesson, Ning He thanked him here." ”
"You ......"
Chen Jingxian was in a hurry and was about to have a seizure, when a palace maid walked over from the white arch, looking hurried, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
"What's the matter?" Chen Jingxian said leisurely.
The waiter hurriedly saluted her, "The slave maid is the palace person of Xinyueju, and when the emperor's decree arrives, the slave and maid will find the master to go back to receive the decree." ”
"Divine decree?" Chen Jingxian finally set her eyes on her, "What's the matter?" ”
"The slave doesn't know."
"Even if the holy decree arrives, Princess Ninghe will not go to receive the decree soon."
Linglong picked up Chu Junxi, who was already unable to move, and quickly left the place of right and wrong, because she had her back to the three of them, she didn't see the smug looks on the faces of the three people.
"It's just a slap in the face, it's so cheap that slut." Wen Siying was puzzled, she was enjoying watching it just now, and she had already thought of the next way to punish people, but she didn't expect to let her get away with it.
Song Shuyi said lazily, "It's a long time coming, aren't you afraid that you won't have a chance?" ”
"That's right." Wen Siying returned to her usual arrogance.
Song Shuyi turned around and saw Chen Jingxian with a solemn face, "Is the beauty worried that she will report us to the emperor?" Presumably, Nan Ninghe is not a stupid person, and there is no need for the beauty to worry. ”
"I'm not worried about the wound on her face." Chen Jingxian said half-loud, at this time, the holy decree came, and she had a faint bad premonition in her heart.
The holy decree has been read, Chu Junxi looked at the bright yellow silk silk and did not move for a long time, what did the emperor say in the holy decree? Did you hear it wrong? It must have been knocked unconscious just now, and my head is not clear and I can't hear it clearly, so I heard such ridiculous words.
Chu Junxi turned his stiff neck, and his innocent eyes looked at the inner prison who read out the holy decree, and looked at him as if he was verifying.
"Ning Jieyu, hurry up and take the order." The princess must have been overjoyed, so she didn't accept the order for a long time, and he waited patiently.
"Princess." Linglong knelt behind Chu Junxi's right and gently tugged at her sleeve.
Chu Junxi stretched out her hand, the dragon pattern on the bright yellow silk silk stabbed her eyes, she silently opened the holy decree, looked at the words on it word by word, and slowly closed it until she was sure that she had heard it correctly.
In the morning, Linglong also mentioned Jin Feng, but she didn't expect the emperor's decree to arrive so soon.
Compared with Chu Junxi's composure, Linglong was as excited as if she had discovered a treasure, "The princess is named Jieyu, see who dares to bully us in the future." She looked at Chu Junxi's face with a painful heart, "Princess, come into the house, and the slave will apply a towel to you." ”
No one can be safe and sound after entering Fengyang Palace without authorization, Chu Junxi did it, not only that, when she was sick, the emperor waited by the bedside every day, it was enough to see that she was different from her position in the emperor's heart, and now she was named Jieyu, and there are naturally many people who flatter and flatter, and it seems that the thing that was cursed to be infected before did not happen, if it weren't for Linglong's uneasiness to stop the princess, the people who came to congratulate would have leveled the threshold of Xinyueju.
Accustomed to a quiet life alone, suddenly surrounded by people, Chu Junxi was a little at a loss, but it was not good to cool down, so she had to say hello hard, she was so tired that she almost didn't bother to speak, but the injury on her face was much better.
Chu Junxi lay down on the chaise longue to rest, Linglong took off the towel on her face, and carefully examined her face, "It will be completely fine in a few days." ”
"I'd rather have a swollen face every day than have a false greeting with them." Chu Junxi closed his eyes and spoke in a low tone, as if his strength was not enough.
"No one should come today, the slave will help you to the back hall to rest."
Chu Jun got up, and as soon as she took a step, she saw a waiter in a pale pink palace dress come in, and she sighed faintly.
Linglong saw her tiredness and took the lead in saying, "Which palace are you from, our master is a little tired today and doesn't see guests." "When they were in trouble, no one gave them a good face, so now Linglong is unceremonious to them.
The waiter bowed his head and said respectfully, "The slave maid is the maid of the Zhong Imperial Palace. ”
No matter what she becomes, no matter what grade she has reached, Su Xueyao can't afford to mess with her, so Chu Junxi had to turn around, "What does Concubine Su command?" ”
"The concubine asked the slave maid to pass the word to Ning Jieyu, and invited you to the Qingfeng Pavilion for a banquet in three days, and the harem concubines all came back, firstly, to congratulate Jieyu on her promotion, and secondly, to let Ning Jieyu get acquainted with everyone, and everyone will be a family in the future."
"Thank you Concubine Su for your kindness, Ning He will go to the appointment on time in three days."
The waiter took the order and left, and Linglong couldn't help but say, "Master, do you really want to go?" ”
Chu Jun smiled bitterly, "Do I have a choice?" "What is familiar, she is now on the cusp of the harem, they can tolerate themselves, and deterring herself is her ultimate goal, right?
Chu Junxi could expect that a turbulent undercurrent between women was about to begin.
