"Look at what position you're in, with your legs back a little bit...... I said you don't understand people's words or what, and you deliberately made a mistake with me. "In the most remote courtyard of the Hall of Immortals, a woman with all her hair coiled up and a face full of flesh held a whip in one hand and scolded the two of them with the other.

I saw a tall wooden platform built in the middle of the courtyard, which was similar to the ordinary singing stage, but slightly smaller than that one. But unlike the ordinary table, this platform is full of long needles that can be seen and thin, each needle is nailed from under the platform, and there will be a needle at a distance of every inch, and the dense place shines with cold light under the sunlight.

At this time, on the platform full of fine needles, there are two small templates, no more than half a foot square, only allowing one person to step on one foot a little more, if you stand badly, you can step on the needle at any time, the shiny needle tip, no doubt, as long as you step on it, you will see blood.

At this time, Tang Zilan and Tang Youning enjoyed such treatment, one foot was on the board, the heel of the other foot was a little shallow, and the front half of the foot had to be slightly cocked, otherwise they would have to be in close contact with this dense needle. And the soles of their shoes have already been densely worn, and after standing all night, the soles of their feet have already seen blood.

And Tang Youning was just whipped by this Mama Feng, and he endured it stubbornly, and he didn't dare to move. At this time, whipping is nothing to her, and if her foot falls again, it is estimated that she will be wasted.

"Look at you like this, but you have only stood for one night, and if there is any celebration in the future, there will be those who have stood for a day. Don't think that entering the palace is just waiting to enjoy happiness, this difficulty can't be endured, how can it get into the eyes of the prince?" Mama Feng kept knocking on the braid in her hand, slowly sat on the chair not far from the platform, knocked on Erlang's leg, grabbed a handful of melon seeds by the way, and looked at the two of them leisurely.

"Mama, how long will we have to stand in this position?" Tang Zilan's face was already pale and bloodless, and even her lips were already flushed with a hint of blue, and she was obviously about to fall down because she couldn't support it, but looking at the slow needle eye below, she bit her lip and held on. If she falls down at this time, it will not be a perforation of the soles of her feet for so long, but her whole body will be penetrated.

"Why are you tired?" Mama Feng didn't raise her eyes, the melon seeds clicked in her mouth, and she read a book with interest in her hand.

"Yes, Mama. You've lost all the night and you're tired, so you might as well rest early. Tang Youning couldn't support it anymore, and his lips were cracked a few times, and they were bloodshot.

"Hehe, yes. Mama Feng raised her eyes and glanced at Tang Youning, threw the book in her hand towards the chair, dusted off the melon seed shell on her body, walked to the front of the stage and looked at the two people who were already out of support but still supported, and said with a smile: "Mama I'm also tired, this night the two watches are not bad, this standing posture will be practiced here today, go back and rest in the morning." After noon, go to the Imperial Garden to greet the Queen's mother. ”

Mama Feng gave an order, and the eunuch who was guarding the side immediately picked up a long wooden board and spread it on it, and a few rough girls went up without gentleness and took the two of them down half-pulling and half-pulling.

Standing on the ground, Tang Youning couldn't stand on one leg with a weak leg, fell to the ground, stretched out his hand and rubbed his legs, although Tang Zilan on the side did not sit down, it was not much better, almost half of his body leaned on the maid.

"Mama, does the queen want to see us in the afternoon?" Tang Youning sat on the ground, the first to react, looked at Mama Feng with a happy face, and thought: Could it be that the day of training has come to an end?

"Yes, Mama Li said in front of the queen mother how hard the two train every day, the queen mother said that she wanted to see the results of the two today, and I heard that His Royal Highness the prince may also come back, how to behave when the time comes, I don't need me to teach you. "Mama Feng is the one who knows the inside, although I don't know how these two people offended the queen, but give them some benefits first, so as not to be hit when they get it.

"Thank you so much, Mama, let's go back and get ready. "It's not just for such a day to enter the palace, maybe the queen will be in a good mood at that time, and then pick a day for them to get married, as long as she becomes the crown princess, she is afraid that she will not be able to get out of the anger she has received in the past few days?

The two sisters of the Tang family knew the news, and they couldn't care about the pain in their bodies at this time, and hurriedly walked towards their room with the girl.

Mama Feng looked at the backs of the two of them leaving in a hurry, sneered with a meaty face, and then stretched her waist and said to the palace maid and eunuch who were guarding: "Go, go, work." This night is exhausting my old bones. ”

The eunuchs and palace maids on the side also didn't close their eyes all night, they didn't have Mama Feng's good life, and now they can go back to sleep in the cage, so they can only continue to work everywhere bitterly, so as not to get a mistake in exchange for a beating, which is really not worth it.

Tang Zilan and Tang Youning returned to the house and couldn't care about the wounds on their feet, as soon as they went back, they hurriedly wiped their bodies and changed into their most beautiful dresses, and their hair was even more beautifully combed.

Just after noon, the early autumn sun is still scorching. Because of the arrival of the queen, the pavilion in the imperial garden has already been filled with ice cubes everywhere, and these ice cubes are more cool than ordinary ice cubes because they are exerted by the water spirit, and they will not melt.

The queen sat in the gazebo, holding the iced sour plum soup that the people had just brought up, drinking it in this climate is really cool and thirst-quenching, accompanied by the fragrance of flowers in the air, it is really pleasant.

Mama Li stood beside the queen, lowered her head and reported the situation of Tang Zilan and the two in the past few days, and the queen was drowsy when she heard it, and waved her hand at the moment and said: "You don't need to report these things to the palace, what the palace wants is the result, Zifeng ......"

When Zifeng heard the queen's summons, he immediately sent the things that had been prepared a long time ago, and the hairpins made of pure gold on them were tight and beautiful, and they were priceless treasures at a glance. Zifeng held the things and handed them to Mama Li and said with a light smile: "Niangniang knows that Mama has worked hard recently, and this is a special reward." ”

"Thank you, Niangniang, what to do in the future, the slave and maid understand, and I will make Niangniang satisfied. Since Mama Li took over this errand, her subordinates have scavenged a lot of oil and water from the two young ladies of the Tang family, but she didn't expect the queen to be so generous, and her eyes were smiling at the moment.

"This palace also knows that those two girls must have given you no less benefits. Since it is for the palace, the palace will naturally not treat you badly, and you will keep these things. However, if you let this palace know that the people of your immortal hall are yin and yang, what will be the end of the time, and you don't need to be told by this palace. The queen picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite lightly, looked at Mama Li who was flattering, and said lightly.

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave and the maid will let the little ones ...... things tomorrow"

"Forget it, since people are honoring you, just take it. You just have to remember who you're working for. "What can be hidden from her about the big and small things in this harem? After receiving the things of the Tang family, she can ignore it, as long as she finally breathes out, she will forget it. But if both sides receive the benefits and come back to deceive themselves, then their skin will be tightened.

"The queen mother, the third prince is here. Not far away, a eunuch saw the third prince and a woman in a long white dress coming together, and couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.

When the queen heard this, she looked down at what the eunuch was pointing at. From a distance, the third prince in a white silk robe, his long hair was scattered over his shoulders, although he was supported by the woman on the side, he looked a little weak, but he was also as warm as jade. Accompanied by the beauties of the same color around him, from a distance, it looks like a pair of beautiful people.

"The son of the queen said goodbye to the queen. As soon as they walked into the pavilion, Tang Linxiu and Hua Jiangyue saluted the queen together.

"Excuse me, the third prince is weak, and there is no need to observe this etiquette in the future. Come, give a seat. "For this three princes, the queen still likes it more, first, these three princes have no power and power, and there is no threat to her or the prince. Second, the prince grew up with him since he was a child, and his relationship was very good, so he was closer to him than to other princes.

"Erchen brought Yue'er to enjoy the flowers, just to see the queen mother here, I came to ask for peace, how is the mother recently?" The third prince sat on the chair and said gently, but his eyes were not looking far away, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

"It's not like that, this palace is nothing. If Xiu'er has nothing to do on weekdays, it is better to persuade your eldest brother and let him cause less trouble, and the palace will be satisfied. "Speaking of the prince, the queen has a headache, she was honest a few days ago, but she hasn't seen anyone in the past few days, and she doesn't know which woman's nest she is hiding in, if he continues like this, something will happen sooner or later.

"Niangniang is too worried, the eldest brother is measured, and the eldest brother should believe that the eldest brother is. ”

"Hey......" Everyone understands these words, this is simply a word of comfort, if the prince has half of the thoughts of these three princes one day, she will be satisfied. I didn't talk about this topic anymore at the moment, and looked at the woman who had been standing beside the third prince. At the moment, her eyes narrowed, why did this woman look so familiar?

"Xiu'er, this girl is ......" The queen looked at the woman beside Tang Linxiu and felt more familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she didn't think about it for a while.

"Hehe, the queen hasn't talked about Yue'er yet. She is the fifth lady of the Tang Mansion, and she has been a guest in the palace recently, so she takes her around. Yue'er, come and see the queen's mother. As soon as he heard the queen talk about Hua Jiangyue, Tang Linxiu immediately said.
