The women in the palace age the slower, partly because of the slow passage of their lives, and on the other hand, because they have the skills to stay beautiful.

Although they are not lucky enough to obtain a treasure like Bai Yangbai's bathwater, they also have their own methods. For example, shampooing with rice water can make hair black, for example, taking a certain amount of slightly poisonous bitter almonds can make the skin white, and for example, boiling Ziheche can make the face glow after eating, as if suddenly a few years younger.

The purple river car is something brought out of the human womb, stained with yin qi, and it is absolutely forbidden to use it in the palace, so not many people know about it. However, this time for Luo Baiqiong's blessing, the whole palace knows that Zihe Che can beautify the skin, and Concubine Luo is very scary, and she uses that kind of thing to maintain her beauty.

This morning, the holy decree of "the concubine was martyred for the first emperor" was issued, and there were several joys and sorrows in the palace, and they never thought that the beauty they were most proud of in the past had become a burden. Because the holy decree says, "Follow filial piety and righteousness, forgive the ancient precedents, and select ten concubines with beautiful faces to enter the imperial tomb with the emperor!" ”

Twenty-nine concubines of the former emperor, ten quasi-death quotas, and nineteen death-free quotas, it is a new struggle in the palace. Those who are young and beautiful don't dare to openly discredit their appearance, and it is even more troublesome to be exposed, so they have to don't seek a way.

Some people set their sights on the young sixteenth princess, the little girl's biological mother Zhang Meiren is the top of the list of "quasi-death quotas", and after her mother dies, she must find an adoptive mother with a matching identity to raise Her Royal Highness the lovely princess.

For a while, the sixteenth princess's dormitory was full of people, and the little princess was scared to tears. The new concubine in charge of the harem has not yet been established, the concubine is in danger, and the eunuch and palace maid can't control the master, and finally it becomes a mess.

"Sister-in-law, our house is even more chaotic than this, don't you go back to take care of it?"

It was Meng Jing, the eldest lady of the Meng family, who entered the palace through a special way and made a special trip to persuade He Angelica to go home. "We received a letter from home saying that Brother Qi will be back in two days, how can we do without you at home."

"Yes." He Angelica opened the chessboard and invited Meng Jing to take a seat, "It's rare for you to enter the palace, let's go after the next game." ”

Meng Jing frowned, "What do you mean, sister-in-law doesn't want to go back yet?" Are you worried that your mother will be hated by the last time you were kind? No, in fact, she is very open-minded, and these little things will be forgotten after two or three days. ”

"White or sunspot?"

"Shirako." Meng Jing lay down in the corner of the chessboard, and lobbied unwillingly, "Seventh sister-in-law, your behavior is called 'running away from your wife' in the law, if the seventh brother can't think of going to the yamen to sue you, you will be miserable, and you will be punished to dig coal in the mine!" ”

He Angelica was secretly amused and asked: "What happened at home, what can't my mother-in-law deal with?" ”

Meng Jing was indignant, "Isn't it that Zixiao in the seventh room, I'm sure it's her behind the scenes, since the seventh sister-in-law, the house hasn't been quiet since you left, and there is one of her every time." ”

He Angelica fell into the sunspots, squinted and recalled, "There is such a number one person, I have never seen it when I lived in the Meng family, it's weird." ”

"So when you go home and sit in the town, no matter what mountain spirit and tree demon are, they will retreat for three miles!" Shake your fist excitedly.

"Dare you to use me as an exorcist!"

In the twenty moves, the black piece easily solved the white piece. Meng Jing didn't lose the battle, and announced with one hand: "Anyway, if you don't go back with me, Seventh Sister-in-law, I will live in the palace for a long time and not leave, and use my stinky chess to annoy you every day!" ”

He Angelica said with a smile: "That's good, you have also seen the situation in the palace, the young emperor is wise and mighty, and the corporal is virtuous, but unfortunately there is no one who is in the harem to his liking." Xiao Jing, you are a famous lady, you can no longer find a good person like you in the world, although there is a marriage contract with the Princess of Ningguo's mansion, but one day the holy decree falls on the head, they don't dare to rob the emperor. ”

"Seventh sister-in-law!" The little face was flushed, three points of shame, four points of annoyance, "I said seriously!" ”

So he smiled and said: "Then I will also tell you the truth, I have a big enemy in the palace, and I can't turn over when I see it, I must witness that scene with my own eyes before I leave." ”

"How long will it take? Is it dangerous? Let's discuss it with Brother Seven, right? Meng Jing's face was worried.

"It's almost there."

Sending Meng Jing away and cleaning up the messy chessboard, He Angelica vaguely felt as if he had forgotten something, and he couldn't catch it when he thought about it. When dinner came up, when the spoon was stirred and the porridge was stirred, it fell to the ground with a "pop". She didn't want the palace ladies to serve, so there was no one else present in the house, so she lost her mind, and bent down to pick up the broken porcelain on the ground, and accidentally scratched her fingers, and bled a lot.

She couldn't help but hide her face and exclaimed, "Qing'er, I completely forgot about her!" That stupid girl has been in the palace for two days without a trace of news, can't she still sleep in the basket? No, she was hungry and still had to eat, and the imperial dining room next to her did not lose the report of the dishes. ”

Since there were no concubines in charge of affairs in the harem, Zhu Yunwen didn't know what to think, so he was not in a hurry to choose a concubine, but came to ask He Angelica to help him work hard for two days. So, now she has a few heavy brass keys in her hand, and she has taken care of those bewitching eunuchs and gossip palace maids.

In fact, it is all trivial and very miscellaneous things, and there are not many silver taels in my hand, adding up to less than five thousand taels, and it is also a few suckling pigs and a few cows in the imperial dining room, and a few princesses and nurses and a few new dresses. But this sesame petty official, a little bit of power was somehow passed on, saying that the new emperor valued her very much, listened to her everything, and handed over the entire harem to her disposal.

She has lived in the palace, and she clearly knows the power of the palace people's mouths to make up stories, but overheard the latest version of "The emperor has been obsessed with the county lord of Qingning for a long time, from the time when he was still His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, but it was rejected by the emperor, the two sides can only love each other silently, and the county lord can only marry someone he doesn't like with tears...... I guess the future queen will be her......"

What a touching feeling, God knows that she and Zhu Yunwen are like raw rice, and cold like frozen tofu!

Unable to cover her face, she must have been looking at the menu in the imperial dining room for too long, and people have become sluggish.

came out with such rumors, and in the palace where the eyes of the power were popular, she became famous overnight and became the object of everyone's stammering in the palace. Even Zhu Yunwen has heard of it, but he said that he can't help it, even the emperor can't control other people's eating and drinking and creating rumors, so he can't make a holy decree to clarify, right?

He Angelica couldn't help but slander, if the rumors spread that his accession to the throne was not orthodox, and the edict of succession was fake, King Yan was the king, and it would be interesting to see if Zhu Yunwen would be so leisurely, sitting and watching the jokes!

It is estimated that Meng Jing also heard about her and the emperor's "bitter love" outside the palace, so she managed to enter the palace to stop it. I can only hope that the rumors will not spread too fiercely among the people, and will be written into scripts and dramas. If that's the case, she'll consider changing her name.

When she was entrusted by Zhu Yunwen, she wanted to resign, but after thinking about it, Zhu Yunwen no longer looked majestic, and he was still the emperor. In response to the old saying "a companion is like a tiger", even if he is amicable with her now, what people say is a holy decree. If the old emperor also said a word, she would never have the courage to openly dismiss it.

"Alas, it's really troublesome......" He Angelica felt that he had met ghosts after walking many nights, which would become the embarrassing situation he is today. Walking in the palace with the title of county lord, everyone was eager to kneel down and bow to her, from the hair to the toad on her feet. I knew that it was also a very painful experience to be worshipped, and I was entangled in trivial things, so I forgot Qing'er completely.

In short, let's start from the back alley of the imperial dining room, it is absolutely impossible for a big living person to lose it, no one in the palace knows Qing'er, and he will not harm her.

Bandaging his injured finger simply, He Angelica bypassed the palace maid carrying the lantern at the door and quietly slipped out the door. Soon after she left, the palace maid outside the house knocked on the door: "County Lord, is the meal ready?" Anything else you'd like to add? ”

Of course, no one in the room answered, several palace maids muttered and discussed for a while, some people thought that He Angelica didn't want to be disturbed, and some people said that the food was not delicious, and if they found more delicious dishes, they would definitely leave a good impression in front of the county lord. Finally, I finally knocked and pushed the door open, only to see an empty room, barely touched food, and a small pool of blood on the floor, which triggered all kinds of subtle conjectures.

Was it the scene of the Assassin encounter? No, the palace was heavily guarded, and the assassins didn't know the way when they broke in, and they didn't hear any movement outside! It must have been done by someone who was familiar with the path in the palace, maybe someone had a crush on the emperor and was jealous of the county lord of Qingning, and quietly kidnapped her......

After the palace maids and eunuchs discussed, they urgently reported the danger to the emperor without delay.

Zhu Yunwen, who had just ascended the throne, was so busy that he couldn't spare time to sleep, and not only reviewed and reviewed the recitals day and night until late at night, but also took over the military affairs that he had never been involved in before, and wanted to grasp the military power as soon as possible. In this anxious situation, I heard the eunuch last night say with a nervous face: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, something happened to the county lord of Qingning!" ”

Zhu Yunwen raised his eyes tiredly: "What's the matter?" ”

The tragic situation at the scene was described vividly and analyzed, and the eunuch looked at Zhu Yunwen expectantly, his eyes like a puppy waiting for his master to touch his head.

Zhu Yunwen yawned, lowered his head and continued to struggle with a stack of musicals.

"Your Majesty, the county lord is ......" is too overseer, and softly asks for the holy decree.

Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Don't bother me with such trivial matters, let the person in charge deal with it, don't take it as an example!" ”

The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and when she understood the holy will, the sad expression on her face was like mourning, and she hated to apologize for her death on the spot. Prostrate and stand down.

And then? There is no then.

This matter was spread quickly, and the people in the palace suddenly heard the news that the county lord had fallen out of favor with the saint, and the county lord's bloody room and the fact that his whereabouts were unknown was ignored by most people. However, when one of the black-faced palace maids heard this, her face changed drastically, and she first rushed to the room where the incident occurred, carefully looked at the blood on the ground, and then went to inspect the food that had been removed, and tested the poison with a silver needle.

In the end, the black-faced palace maid ignored the eunuch's obstruction and rushed straight into the imperial study!
