readx;? Time passed day by day, and I saw that the two-month competition and selection were getting closer and closer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The palace maids of the three courtyards were still isolated from each other, but they couldn't block all kinds of news, as if they had inserted invisible wings and flew over from all directions.

When there were still ten days left, Yun Yao heard Mama Hu inadvertently mention that most of the palace maids who had signed up to enter Chuxiu Palace had been injured, some died, some went crazy, some were sick, some were disabled, and in the end, there were less than fifty of the last ninety people.

There are fewer and fewer people, which means more and more opportunities, but Yun Yao is becoming more and more silent, including Lu Yingquan, who has always been simple-minded, and he also noticed the layer of haze that shrouded the sky over Xiyuan.

"I just got the will of the Queen Mother, and I want to make a preliminary selection today, and you can persist until now, which shows that you still have a certain amount of intelligence and courage. However, the Queen Mother said that the inner palace is not as good as the Yeting Palace, it is not enough to be smart and courageous, but also to be careful and know how to observe words and colors. Mama Hu stood in front of everyone and spoke.

Everyone didn't speak, and listened to Mama Hu quietly.

According to the queen mother's intention, the palace maid who enters the inner palace to serve must always understand the master's thoughts, and be able to perceive the master's meaning according to the master's expression and movements, which requires a strong degree of observation and carefulness.

Therefore, the Queen Mother ordered people to hide fifteen treasures in the East Garden, South Garden and West Garden last night...... It can only be eliminated.

"These bamboo sticks in my hand are written on the clues, and you need to decipher the meaning of them yourself, whether you can find them depends on your luck. After Mama Hu finished speaking, she handed out the bamboo sticks in her hand.

When Lu Yingquan received the bamboo stick, he jumped up in front of Yun Yao and asked, "Yun Yao, what is your clue?

"When you draw a circle, when you write a square, the winter is short, and the summer is long. Yun Yao read the riddle-like phrase on the bamboo stick and said, "Mine is a Japanese character." ”

"Coincidentally, mine is also a Japanese character. Lu Yingquan showed the bamboo skewer in his hand to Yun Yao, but saw that it read, "There are fish in the East China Sea, without a head and tail, and without a backbone, everyone is surprised."

Yun Yao immediately understood that there were only fifteen things in the West Garden, and there must be duplicate bamboo sticks in someone's hand, so it could only be seen who was lucky and found them first.

"Let's go find it together, it's just that there are too many clues related to Japanese characters in the West Garden, so I don't know which one it is......" Yun Yao said again, and then left with Lu Yingquan.

The two who were concentrating on finding clues didn't see that there was a pair of eyes, staring behind them all the time, full of resentment and murderous intent, with a hint of coldness.

"I know!" Halfway through, Lu Yingquan suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "This riddle is also exquisite, although the riddles of you and me are both Japanese characters, but your riddles are related to the natural law of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, while my riddles are related to water and fish." ”

So what I'm looking for is in the Sunrise Tower in the east, and what you're looking for is in the Sun Moon Lake in the southeast. With such a reminder, Yun Yao also suddenly realized.

After receiving a clue, the two parted ways and headed for their respective destinations.

The West Garden is not very big, Yun Yao was on the way to the Guanri Tower, and she could see several other palace maids searching for something everywhere, she didn't want to delay more, she just walked quickly, and soon arrived at the Guanri Tower.

Guanri Building is located in the east of the West Garden, surrounded by an evergreen bamboo forest, very deep, few people come on weekdays, Yun Yao arrived here, actually felt a little cold.

Yun Yao searched carefully, and after searching all over the first floor and not seeing it, she went upstairs to look for it, and when she reached the fourth floor, she finally found the treasure hidden here by the Queen Mother.

The treasure was contained in a very beautiful velvet bag, and when she opened it, it was a delicate step, with a glossy emerald and dazzling brilliance, and the feather sweep looked extraordinary, and of great value.

This should be the treasure that the Queen Mother put here!

Finding something, Yun Yao breathed a sigh of relief, stood on the edge of the building and smiled, and then put it away.

But who would have thought that there was a huge force behind her, and she felt a pair of powerful hands push her hard, and when she was caught off guard, she fell from the height of the four-story building.

The moment Yun Yao fell, she saw that familiar face and a triumphant smile on her face, it was Xiangqin.

After Xiangqin pushed Yun Yao downstairs, she seemed to be sure that she would definitely die, and she was afraid of being seen, so she quickly left the Sun Viewing Tower.

At this moment, Yun Yao actually had a sense of sadness in her heart, she had no intention of harming people, nor did she intend to take the initiative to provoke anyone, but she couldn't withstand the speculation and repetition of people's hearts.

She didn't even have time to mourn for herself, she closed her eyes in despair, waiting for the pain and disillusionment when she fell to the ground.

Suddenly, there was a force from her waist, as if an arm was holding her tightly, and Yun Yao felt that her rapidly falling body was slowly rising.

I opened my eyes in surprise and turned my head to see that the face with a knife and an axe was as handsome as the moon and the moon, with angular eyebrows and eyes, with a heroic and righteous spirit, but it also did not lose its elegance.

Although Yun Yao didn't know who this man was, she knew that she was saved at this moment.

The man landed safely with Yun Yao, then let go of her humbly and politely, and stood two steps away from her. As a foreign minister, he can't get too close to the palace maids in the palace, and saving people is a helpless measure in a hurry.

After looking at the man for a long time, he seemed to have determined the identity of the man, and Yun Yao bowed slightly to him: "Yun Yao thanked General Gu for saving his life." ”

"How do you know that I'm General Gu?" the man asked with a smile as surprise flashed in his eyes.

The gentle breeze of a soothing voice reached Yun Yao's ears, with an intoxicating meaning, making her cheeks flush slightly.

"In the harem, except for the emperor, no man is allowed to appear, but there is one exception, that is, Gu Qingming, who is highly valued by the emperor, General Gu. Yun Yao said the speculation in her heart.

"You're such a smart girl. Gu Qingming smiled lightly, and then kindly reminded, "The palace is sinister, you need to be careful." ”

After saying this, Gu Qingming turned around and left, as if he had never seen Yun Yao before.

Yun Yao looked at Gu Qingming's back, and some indescribable emotion suddenly surged in her heart, she didn't know what kind of feeling it was, she only knew that the burning touch on Fang Cai's arm seemed to have been deeply imprinted in her heart.

At this moment, the desire to enter the inner palace was so strong.

Because, only when you enter the inner palace, you can often see him.

"Yun Yao-Yun Yao-" Lu Yingquan's voice sounded not far away, with anxiety.

"I'm here. Yun Yao came back to her senses from her thoughts, responded, and then ran in the direction where Lu Yingquan came from.

"Did you find it?" Lu Yingquan asked.

"Found it, it's a step shake. Yun Yao shook the velvet bag in her hand and said with a smile.

"I found it, too, a pearl necklace. Lu Yingquan also said, and then the two returned to Mama Hu together, and handed over the things they found and the bamboo sticks before.

Soon, the other people also came, handed in the things they found one after another, and then stood aside, waiting for Mama Hu to announce the results.

Xiangqin was the last to come back, and after she pushed Yun Yao down the Sun Viewing Tower, she went to look for the clues on the bamboo slips, so she was one step slower than the others.

But when she entered the hall, the moment she saw Yun Yao, her eyes flashed with boundless horror, she didn't know why Yun Yao fell from such a high place and was still alive, not even anything, she could only pray now, Yun Yao didn't see who was pushing her behind her back.
