Chapter 63: The Seven Palaces of Narration
On the morning of the second day, Manyi really sent someone to invite Yao Bei, Yao Bei said to the old lady, and Shi Shiran went to the Qi Qi Palace.
On the way, Yao Bei asked the palace maid who was sent: "I heard that there was a fairy named Qixia in this palace before?" β
The maids were named Lady and Fluttershy, and since they were the ones who served in the kitchen and had not been executed, Manyi had summoned them to the palace after that incident.
Xiao'e said: "That Qixia Fairy is excellent, and her appearance is first-class, but β’β’β’β’β’β’ don't like to act according to the king's wishes, so it will be β’β’β’β’β’β’." She tries to say that Qixia was banned from the painting, but Fluttershy glared at her and simply shut up.
Fluttershy said: "In the past, this Qiqi Hall was lived by Fairy Qixia and Mrs. Yipin, but now only Mrs. Yipin lives alone. It is said that she is pregnant with the child of the king, which is really blessed. β
Yao Bei said curiously: "This β’β’β’β’β’β’ Mrs. Yipinβ’β’β’β’β’β’ is?" β
"Hey! Mrs. Yipin is the fairy Manyi, she was a black rose tree when she first came, because of the enchanting and gorgeous blooming, she was named Mrs. Yipin. β
Xiao'e was quick-mouthed, and continued after finishing in one go: "This person is really, Fairy Qixia treats her so well, just like a sister, she is still β’β’β’β’β’β’." β
Before she could finish speaking, Fluttershy twisted her arm and shut up in pain.
Yao Bei already knew in his heart that this Manyi was not what Qingyuan said, but he was afraid that he had changed his mind.
When he arrived at the gate of the Qiqi Palace, Manyi was already waiting there, his face was as warm as a spring breeze, and he did not have the shame and embarrassment of last night.
When Yao Bei saw her like this, he knew that this was not an ordinary woman.
She enthusiastically let Yao Bei into the hall, and the layout inside had been completely renewed, and it was no longer what Qixia looked like when she was there.
The two of them sat down and talked slowly, and Manyi said, "I heard that my sister is from the sea?" Yao Bei replied yes, and told him about his life experience.
When it was over, Yao Bei asked Manyi: "I heard that my sister is from the Rakshasa country?" β
Manyi smiled, "My sister's ears are very good. β
Yao Bei took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I not only know that my sister is a person from the Rakshasa Kingdom, but I also know my sister's story. β
Manyi was shocked when she heard this, could it be that this woman knew Qixia?
It's impossible, but no one really knows her story except Qixia, what's going on?!
At the moment, he pretended to be calm and said: "I am a rose demon, what is the story?" Don't listen to that nonsense. β
"Could it be that Qingyuan Gong also talks nonsense?" Yao Bei said with a smile.
Manyi's eyes widened, her eyes were already big, and her face was almost overwhelmed, she stammered and asked, "How did you β’β’β’β’β’β’ how did you β’β’β’β’β’β’ know β’β’β’β’β’β’ Qingyuan?" β
Yao Bei put away his smile and said, "It was Qingyuan Gong who specially entrusted me to come here to look for you, I never thought that you had become Mrs. Yipin, it seems that I came to the wrong place!" β
Manyi hurriedly said: "Sister, don't talk like that, I'm also forced to do it, I don't know β’β’β’β’β’β’ I don't know where Qingyuan β’β’β’β’β’β’ is, okay?" β
"Hey", Yao Bei sighed and said: "He misses you day and night, and he has nothing to do in the underworld, just thinking about being able to reunite with you." β
"Oh," Manyi suddenly thought of the old things, and she couldn't help but cry down, she took the silk and wiped the tears from her tears, and smiled bitterly, "That's how hard we are! What's the solution? I can't be the master myself, I'm at the mercy of others, and so am Iβ’β’β’β’β’β’ I don't dare to disobey the will of the Demon Lordβ’β’β’β’β’β’ so I β’β’β’β’β’β’ β’β’β’β’β’β’! β
Yao Bei nodded in understanding, but said, "What about Qingyuan Gong?" How do you ask me to reply? β
Manyi was confused all of a sudden, how to get back to Qingyuan? She didn't know either.
Looking at his current situation in this Nine Shadows Palace, it is not too good.
Although Mo Yin is very fond of himself, his heart is afraid that he will change if he says it, not to mention that now there is another Liu Meiren.
Qixia is still forbidden in that painting, if she comes out, I'm afraid there will be no place for her own.
But if you follow Qingyuan, can Mo Yin let himself go?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart, now he is Xingtou, if she knows about Qingyuan, I'm afraid she will be angry?!
Thinking of this, she said to Yao Bei with tears: "Sister, you only told him to wait, I can't get out of β’β’β’β’β’β’ now!" The Demon Lord will not let me go now, I can only find a chance to tell him β’β’β’β’β’, now, not yet, if we go against the will of the king, I am afraid that we will not be able to extricate ourselves from broken bones. β
Yao Bei understood what she meant, nodded and said, "You don't want to make him hopeless, he is a good person, and he is bitter enough." Thinking about it, he said, "Then how can I tell him about you?" β
Manyi pondered for a moment and said: "You just said that I am now taken by the Queen Mother, and I can't leave my body day and night, so I can only wait." β
Yao Bei nodded silently.
Seeing that she did not speak, the two of them sat in silence for a long time.
After being bored for a while, Manyi asked tentatively, "Sister, β’β’β’β’β’β’ have you heard the Queen Mother say anything about me?" β
Yao Bei lowered his head and slowly sipped his tea, still silent.
"You also saw what happened yesterday, I really don't knowβ’β’β’β’β’β’ I don't know what I did wrong?" Manyi sighed, "I was fine before I went to the East China Sea, β’β’β’β’β’β’. β
Yao Bei doesn't like to get involved in these things, but he just said that he doesn't know, maybe the old man has a weird temperament when he is old.
Manyi asked again: "I heard that Liu Meiren who came yesterday is pregnant, but is it true?" β
Yao Bei nodded.
In fact, Manyi also understands why he was ridiculed by the old lady, but he still wants to confirm it.
This Yao Bei doesn't seem to be easy to contact, so she has to think of a way to let her tell the β’β’β’β’β’β’truth to herself.
Just thinking about it like this, Yao Bei suddenly said, "There was a Qixia girl in this palace before? β
Manyi thought she had heard about it so quickly, and immediately replied, "Yes." β
"I heard she's a painting?" Yao Bei asked casually.
"yes." Manyi looked at her expression, not knowing what she wanted to know.
Yao Bei smiled: "I also heard people talk about it, and I feel curious, can this painting also become a refinement?" β
Manyi looked at her casually, so she relaxed her vigilance in her heart: "Isn't it, what does the king seem to love, the women of this palace are envious, and the old queen mother can't see it." β
Yao Bei became interested: "I heard that she is very beautiful?" β
"Each flower into its own eyes, is there anything ugly in this Nine Shadows Palace?"
Yao Bei knew that she was jealous, so he didn't break her, but said, "I said, is there anyone more beautiful than Sister Manyi?" Let's just say that the Liu beauty yesterday looked pitiful, and she could only be regarded as medium-looking. β
Manyi was very comfortable by what she said, and said: "That Qixia is now banned from the painting by the king, and she can't come out if she wants to come out; Now there is only regret, who let her go against the king's will and die by herself. β
She took a sip of tea and continued: "It's just a piece of paper, and holding yourself is more expensive than anything else, maybe one day the king will be happy and burn her with firewood." β
After that, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly.
Seeing her so vicious, Yao Bei couldn't help but feel cold for Qingyuan, but asked her quietly: "I don't know where that painting is resting?" It is also good to have a chance to see and open your eyes. β
"It's in the Junshang House, Sanyi Palace, and the bookcase is next to the calligraphy and painting bottle inside." Man Yi saw that she was interested in this painting, and she had an idea in her heart, she didn't dare to do it, she was afraid that Mo Yin would know about the trouble, why not let this Yao Bei β’β’β’β’β’β’, I heard that the old lady was going to burn this painting, this is a godsend.
Thinking of this, she said to Yao Bei: "The next day, I took my sister to see this painting, and the painting is really delicate and meticulous, not something ordinary people can see." β
Yao Bei was about to save Qixia, and hurriedly nodded and said yes.
The two chatted for a morning, and after eating the lunch carefully prepared by Manyi, Yao Bei returned to Liuhe Palace.
The queen mother called her back late, and immediately called a few palace maids and the mother to play chess and cards in the flower hall, and played until dark, and then removed the cards and did not mention them for dinner.
