Chapter 22: Hidden Spirit Pill
Emperor Pingyu gave an order, and even if Condensation was unwilling, there was no way, so he had to break off the idea of staying in the middle room.
Su Hanyan saluted the two of us, and then took the maidservant into the middle room.
When Su Hanyan asked everyone to call her "Hanyan Girl" in front of people, Jiang Qianchen was also on the side, and also looked at Su Hanyan with a smile, and then looked at the female officials, and said, "You can also call me Miss Qianchen!"
Although he is also polite to his subordinates, after all, he is behind people, and he is not as popular as Su Hanyan.
I don't think she likes to be called a girl, and she is still unwilling to say that.
There are still two rooms left in the Yong'an Palace, and the condensation sees that the name of the east room is good, and it has the same East character as the East Palace, and no longer cares about the female officials who lead the way, and says willfully: "I want to live here, and if I am not allowed to do so, I will return to the Red Snake Clan, and if I don't participate in this election, my father will never see me wronged." ”
The female officials in the imperial city will never care if you can stay in the harem, but if it affects the jurisdiction of the emperor of the previous dynasty, they naturally can't afford such consequences.
The leading female officer was full of indignation, but she couldn't help it, after all, she could afford to provoke the spirit girl, but she couldn't provoke the Red Snake Clan, and looked at me as if she was flattering.
I'm afraid you can't afford to provoke the Jiao clan, although I think so in my heart, I don't want to embarrass her, let alone make a big deal of it, so I led Qiu'an to the west room.
Qiu An has been watching me from the side, silent, but knows better than anyone else.
When I entered the west room, all the subordinates were busy packing up their things, and I pulled up Qiu An, who was also busy with her, and wanted to talk to her, Qiu An looked at me with puzzlement in his eyes.
"In this palace in the future, I will ask you to be thoughtful aunt. ”
Qiu An is not a few years older than me, but after all, she is a female official in the imperial city, and it is safer to call her aunt than her sister.
She saw that I was sincere, without the slightest hint of sycophancy, and there was surprise and joy in her eyes, but her body took a step back and bowed: "The slave and maid dare not overstep, but they will follow the princess, and they can't afford to be second-hearted." ”
I know that Qiu An will not be clever in his words, and it is not easy to promise like this.
Qiu An didn't get up on the ground, and continued: "Although the slave maid saw the princess behind the crowd today, the pearl was as inconspicuous as dust, but the princess's temperament and mind were admired by the slave maid. ”
I can see that I am deliberately dressing up today not to attract attention, this Qiu'an's eyes are poisonous enough, and the praise behind it is a maneuver between me and condensation.
I told her the truth: "Surviving in the harem of the imperial city is like walking on thin ice, I just want to live in peace, but today's condensation is disrespectful, if I pretend to be stupid, Sister Bai Rong will inevitably be bullied." ”
Qiu An knew that I had a deep sisterhood with Bai Rong, and she didn't say anything later.
At this time, the female officer came in with a purple wooden tray and knelt in front of me and asked me to take it.
I raised my eyes and looked over, there was a cup in the purple plate, all of them were jade, small and exquisite, there was a pill in the jade cup, with a cold air, and there was just a glass of water in the cup next to it.
Qiu An said to me on the side: "Princess, this is the Hidden Spirit Pill, in order to protect the peace of the Emperor City, the twelve spirit girls who entered the palace today must be served, but they are only temporarily sealing the spiritual energy cultivation of all the people, which is no different from mortals." ”
I didn't think about it, after looking at Qiu'an, I picked up the pill and put it in my mouth and washed it with water, and the female official who delivered the medicine had a relieved face and knelt down happily.
After Qiu An sent her out, he closed the door and came to me, and said to me: "The princess is so bold, I just chatted with her a few words, and sure enough, the princesses of the other palaces all made a lot of noise, and forced the female official to take out the token of Emperor Pingyu before she would give up." ”
"How about Miss Hanyan and Jiang Qianchen, did you take it voluntarily?" I asked Xiang Qiu'an calmly.
Qiu An's face was shocked when he saw me say this.
I don't know much about this imperial harem, but I definitely know more than Qiu An thought, those two concubines are the daughters of the ministers, and according to the rules, they can not take the hidden spirit pill.
Qiu An calmed down and told me in a low voice: "The two girls can indeed disagree, but before they entered the palace, it was rumored that their cultivation was extraordinary. ”
I nodded, knowing that Qiu An didn't mean to lie to me.
At this time, there was a condensed and noisy sound outside, and after listening carefully, sure enough, she didn't want to eat this hidden spirit pill, Qiu An and I looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
The daily meals of the Hesui Palace are prepared in the dining room and sent to the princesses, all of whom are the same, without exception.
After dinner in the evening, Qiu An told me, "The princess can rest today, but she will be busy tomorrow." ”
I know what she is referring to, we women don't come to the palace to enjoy the blessings, we have a lot of rules and etiquette to learn.
"Accompany me to the Tianhe Hall to see my sister. "After all, I don't worry about Bai Rong, I want to go over and take a look.
Qiu An nodded yes, helped me out of the door, and was welcoming Bai Rong to come to me.
"I was just about to go to my sister, but you came!" Qiu An stepped back behind me at the right time, and I stepped forward to grab Bai Rong.
Bai Rong was in a good mood at the moment, with a smile on his face: "I'm not tired after a busy day in this palace, and I have nothing to do, so I'll come to see you." ”
She touched the position of the hairpin on my head that was obliquely inserted, and helped me straighten it out: "It's not as good as at home, why don't you pay attention to makeup." ”
I took her arm and said to her a little coquettishly: "It's good that my sister pays attention, anyway, after I accompany you, I have to hurry out of the palace to find Qingqing, find the third wife, and be angry." ”
She looked at me dotingly, and suddenly her eyes saw the side, her face changed, and she pushed me.
I straightened up and turned around, and saw that it was Condensation staring at us fiercely.
It's rare to be able to talk to Bai Rong at this time, I don't want to be so bad, so I look at her coldly, and I don't back down at all, but I don't take the initiative to make trouble.
Condensation was tired when he thought about it, although his eyes were full of displeasure, but he didn't provoke at all, just "hummed" and turned back to the east room.
I looked at her figure in the distance, thinking that although she was domineering, there were no relatives by her side in this deep palace, and it was pitiful.
"Sister, in this imperial city, the two of us are quite good. I couldn't help but sigh with Bai Rong.
She also sighed, and after a "hmm" sound, she suddenly asked me in my ear, "Did you also eat that Hidden Spirit Pill?"
I nodded and said, "It's not harmful to the body, it's just that during this time in the Imperial City, you can't use our spells." ”
Bai Rong nodded abruptly, and suddenly asked me again: "Su'er, look at me, isn't it beautiful?"
I now know what my sister is worried about, she doesn't care about spiritual power, but she is afraid that it will affect her appearance after hiding her aura, and she can't help but want to laugh.
"You're still laughing, smiling!" Sister Bai Rong glared at me angrily.
I stepped forward and hurriedly coaxed her: "Good sister, it doesn't matter, you are still as beautiful as ever." ”
Bai Rong showed a smile at this time, and I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Pinghui behind her.
I took Bai Rong to sit in my west room, she looked around, and only said, "I just came to the Imperial City, I know you don't want to cause trouble, but don't let people bully you." ”
"Hmm!" I promised Bai Rong, and then I saw that Ping Hui had already pulled Qiu An to the side to talk, so many princesses came today, Ping Hui couldn't help but talk a little more, Qiu An just listened quietly on the side.
"I know what you're worried about. Sister Bai Rong pulled back my thoughts, and I saw her with a straight face: "Pinghui is only like this behind people, I observed her today, and she is much safer in doing things outside, and she doesn't talk much." ”
When Bai Rong said this, I felt that Pinghui was a little similar to me.
Bai Rong didn't dare to stay too late that day, and walked forward and said with a worried face: "Tomorrow, the new aunt will come to the palace to teach etiquette, and we are only afraid that we will suffer." ”
I nodded, if it is etiquette, which of these spirit princesses and young ladies of the family has not been learned since childhood, teaching is just a reason, and it is true that we have experienced more hardships.
It's a pity that I'm only half right, tomorrow there are indeed a lot of hardships waiting for us, the twelve spirit girls, but there are double the hardships waiting for me alone.
How could I have thought that this new female teacher was my old friend, or the old man who hated me so much.
