On the second day of the wedding, there were still a few stars hanging in the sky, and the sunset was dug up from the bed by Yaoyao, and asked sleepily, "It's not dawn yet, why are you getting up so early!?" ”

Yaoyao has already explained three or four times, today is the day when everyone in the harem is in the palace to pay a visit, and you must get up early. Her Royal Highness has always had a good memory, but now she is just complaining, so she didn't answer, and took the sunset with her eyes closed to the dresser for Jingjing to take care of.

Jingjing said, "Your Highness, according to the rules, today you have to wear a dragon and phoenix golden feather suit, and comb your hair to the sky and the moon." ”

Luo Xi flattened her mouth, still didn't open her eyes, and hummed in a low voice, "It's so heavy." ”

Jingjing smiled, she, Yaoyao and Zhen Zhen had followed Luoxi for several years, and were familiar with the princess's habits and temperament, knowing that when her eyes were closed, her mind was still confused, she couldn't listen to anything, she couldn't remember anything, and like Yaoyao, she chose not to answer, which made the other palace maids in the room secretly surprised.

Sure enough, after a while, Luo Xi slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and lovely, and asked, "What about King Chu?" ”

Yaoyao held her hair ornament and said, "Yin Shi left." ”

"Everyone else should go down, and you won't need to serve you when the palace dresses up in the future."

After the palace maids left, Luo Xi looked at Zhen Zhen from the mirror and said, "Did you find out all day yesterday?" ”

Zhen Zhen said, "There are four people in Changle Palace who have a foundation in martial arts, one of them has been professionally trained and is not bad, and there are ten people to be investigated. ”

People who practice martial arts walk with a lighter pace, and the higher the kung fu, the more so, ordinary people may not be able to see the difference, but a master like Zhen Zhen can easily tell the difference.

Luo Xi said expressionlessly, "Don't check, leave what can be determined, and the others will find an opportunity to drive them all out." ”

Although Yaoyao was puzzled, she was still dissatisfied because she got up early, suppressed the curiosity in her heart, and replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

Before the time came, the concubines in the palace came to Changle Palace one after another, and they gathered together in groups to whisper, Zhen Zhen stood in an inconspicuous corner and listened silently, the topic of discussion was nothing more than Mu Guifei's domineering over the years, whether the new queen could rule the harem, etc., there was nothing new, she yawned boredly, looked at the sky and said darkly, the princess should also finish her temper and come out.

As she expected, not long after, Luoxi came from the apse, and saw the eyes of the warblers and warblers in the room lit up, sweeping away the depression and decadence of this morning, trying not to let her smile be too frivolous.

"Niangniang, are you still used to it when you first come to Chu State?" A green-clothed concubine joked.

There is information about this woman in the information collected in advance, Luo Xi remembers that she is Zhang Guiren, the daughter of Zhang Bin of the imperial history, although she is not very favored, but because of the relationship between Zhang Bin and Mu Xiang, she has not been suppressed much in the harem, but she herself is not close to Mu Yudai.

Zhang Guiren has a round face and round eyes, and he is festive when he looks at it, and he likes it very much, and replied kindly, "Zhang Guiren?" This palace has long heard of a good hand written by nobles, and it happens that this palace is also involved in calligraphy, but it is not as proficient as the nobles, if you have time, you can ask the nobles for advice. ”

Then facing everyone, "Although the Yan Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom are all on a continent, they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, each with its own folk customs. ”

The king of Chu has favored the concubines over the years, and has rarely asked about other concubines, and most of the people who have survived safely from the Chu palace are because of the forces behind them. Since the news that Luoxi will marry into the Chu Palace, all palaces are trying to find ways to inquire about this exotic princess, and the willfulness and recklessness on the way to welcome the relatives at Luoxi is no longer a secret in the palace, so before this, the images outlined in everyone's minds are all pampered and rude. Now that I see that the queen is gentle and generous, her words and deeds are elegant and dignified, and she shows the demeanor of a great country, and she can't help but feel respect.

Luoxi turned her head and asked, "Can you start?" ”

Yaoyao said, "Bingniangniang, Concubine Mu has not arrived yet." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the concubines were different, for so many years and Chang Palace has been dominant, Mu Guifei has Mu Xiang's support behind her, and the king also has a soft spot for her, and the concubines who are against Mu Guifei either die unexpectedly, or are wasted in the cold palace, and the end is extremely miserable. Those who survived also stayed away from Concubine Mu, and lived tremblingly, for fear of accidentally offending her.

These are the proud women of the sky, there is no shortage of appearance and talent, and now they have to live cautiously in the palace, and they will inevitably complain about Hechang Palace in their hearts.

Luoxi took everyone's faces into his eyes, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and said, "Let's start when the time comes." "I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.

The concubines looked at each other secretly, and said in their hearts, "Isn't it a soft persimmon?" ”

The etiquette of the Chu Palace is similar to that of the Yan Kingdom, and the worship is all three bows and nine bows, which is said to have continued from the Kukai Kingdom to the present day.

Luo Xi'an sat on the phoenix chair, looking at the woman in front of her who was like a flower, the smile on her face was still the same, but her eyes were a little scattered, except for Yaoyao and Zhen Zhen who were present, no one could see that Luo Xi's thoughts had run into the distance.

The ceremony was not yet necessary, but I only heard the little eunuch sing "Mu Guifei has arrived." ”

Luoxi's pupils shrank, pulling back the thoughts of deep travel, but his face remained unchanged.

Yaoyao's order to salute did not stop, the master and servant didn't seem to hear it, and everyone didn't dare to be different when they saw this, listening carefully to Yaoyao's order, and very few people noticed that Zhen Zhen turned to leave.

After the ceremony, Luo Xi smiled and said, "Let's be flat." ”

"It's really hard to make such a big gift for the sisters, the ancestral rules are like this, and the palace has to accept it, but it's hard for everyone."

While speaking, Jingjing led dozens of palace maids out of the apse, holding the Aoki square plate in her hand, each plate was covered with bright yellow satin, and the shape was strange, which made people curious.

What's even more peculiar is that the moment Jingjing lifts the curtain, there is the fragrance of pear blossoms, sweet but not greasy, elegant and vulgar, making people feel as if they are in the 10,000 acres of pear fields.

Luo Xi said, "These are the gadgets brought by this palace from Yan Kingdom, and I don't know if it is everyone's mind." ”

As she spoke, a maid lifted the silk to reveal the gifts on the tray.

Some of these gifts are rare and valuable, some are delicate ornaments, and some are fine rouge gouache and silk satin, all of which are different, but they are very much in line with everyone's preferences, and it is obvious that they have taken a lot of thought.

Any of these gifts alone are treasures and are worth a fortune, and some of them can't even be bought with money. Unexpectedly, the queen was able to collect them one by one and give them to everyone, and everyone was happy and sighed at the strong strength of Luoxi, and they also had new ideas in their hearts.

Luo Xi looked as usual, and raised his voice, "Has Concubine Mu arrived?" ”

Everyone's faces changed, and the eagerness in their hearts dropped a little.

Zhen Zhen walked in quickly from outside the hall and said, "Bingniangniang, Concubine Mu has arrived and is waiting outside the hall." ”

The concubines knew that Mu Yudai was already in Changle Palace, but Luoxi had been asking her to wait outside the palace.

Luo Xi said, "Let her come in and salute." ”

Not long after, a woman in white walked into the hall gracefully, she was tall, exquisite, a pair of peach blossom eyes straight to the heart, the bridge of the nose was high, and the cherry-like ruddy thin lips were just right.

Even if Luo Xi knew that she was friend or foe, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart at this time, "What a peerless beauty." ”

Luo Xi didn't speak, but nodded to Yaoyao. Yaoyao understood, and after Mu Yudai stood still, she immediately sang "Salute...... A prostration......"

Mu Yudai was stunned for a moment, and his body subconsciously reacted and knelt straight down.

According to the customs of the Chu State, after three bows and nine bows, the superior needs to be allowed to get up before the ceremony is completed, but after Mu Yudai saluted, Luoxi did not let him get up for a long time, the smile on his face disappeared, and the whole person exuded coldness.

Everyone present was stunned by the majesty that suddenly emanated from the setting sun, and they were all silent.

After a long time, Luo Xi said, "Do you know why you kneel?" ”

Mu Yudai has been in the palace for five years, He has been punished at all, his face turned red, and he said in a low voice, "The concubine knows, the concubine is late." ”

Luo Xi said sharply: "On the day of the palace court, how can you be so presumptuous." The palace commands the harem, and the rules must be established, so you can kneel in this Changle Hall for an hour. ”

Everyone was secretly happy in their hearts, after being angry for so many years, it could be regarded as Mu Yudai's turn to be angry.

The maidservant who came in with Mu Yudai said, "Niangniang, the concubine is late for a reason. When I went out this morning, an old palace goddess was delirious and collided with the concubine, and the concubine was also frightened, so it was too late......"

Mu Yudai had a bad heart, interrupted Linglong's words, and shouted backwards, "Shut up!" ”

Yaoyao has been standing on the side, and when she heard the words, she said angrily, "Presumptuous, what is your identity, dare to talk nonsense in front of your mother." ”

Linglong froze.

In recent years, the Changgong family has been dominant, and these palace maids have also risen with the tide, and they have long forgotten that they are slaves, if it is not for the master's questioning, they must not say much at other times.

Luo Xi looked at Linglong and asked Yaoyao expressionlessly, "If you commit the following crimes, how should you deal with them according to the rules of the Chu State Palace?" ”

Yaoyao replied, "Twenty major boards." ”

"Then let's do it."

Linglong sat on the ground on her knees, forgetting to even beg for mercy.

Mu Yudai watched several old women drag Linglong down, and hurriedly begged, "The palace maids of Hechang Palace committed crimes, all of which were improper discipline of concubines, please read that she is a first-time offender, and give her a chance to reform herself." ”

Luo Xi said, "There are no rules, there is no circle, if the people in this palace are as disrespectful as you, then the Chu Palace will be completely chaotic." Since the king has entrusted the task of managing the harem to the palace, the palace must do its best to maintain order in the palace and not add additional troubles to the king. ”

The implication is that I don't plan to let Linglong go.

Luo Xi looked directly into Mu Yudai's eyes, and then said, "But since the noble concubine thinks it's your fault, then you should kneel for an extra hour." ”

After speaking, without giving Mu Yudai a chance to speak, he said, "Today, the palace is tired, sisters, please go back." ”
